The
who,
after

hole yEeamr pagearioorstNh
iisehol ag
himself
coun-
cillors and most influential Ministers, has decided on the con-
struction of the railway from St. Petersburgh to Moscow. -The
Minister most opposed to it, says the Debats, was Count Can-
crine, who pretended that railways were one of the useless in-
ventions of the age, which would pass away like so many others,
after having been extolled to the skies. The Emperor, however,
after having appointed a commission of the Council of the Empire
to inquire into the affair, presided over it himself, and cut short
the discussion as to the usefulness of railways, by declaring that
the railroad from St. Petersburg to Moscow was important for
the welfare of the Empire, and should be made at the cost or
the State. For the realization of this undertaking, the Empe-
ror has appointed two committees, one superior and general,
and the other of execution. At the head of the first is the He-
reditary Grand Duke ; and a Prince of his family is a member
of the other committee.

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL NAPIER'S " EXCURSIONS
ALONG THE SHORES OF THE MEniaxatcANEAN.—Colonel
Napier's lucubratiens here presented to us (says a Contem-
porary) are full of matter, bright with the sunshine of intel-
lectual health, and high animal spirits, free as a soldier's hand,
buoyant as a soldier's thoughts, and frank and offhand as a
soldier's talk at the mess-table after the first bottle. The
" Excursions" are more various than their title might indi-
cate, for not only are the shores of the Mediterranean de-
serted for the interior of every one of the countries which line
them, but we have the entire " Cruise in the Levant," a visit
to the " City of the Sultan," an exploring party to the,
" Plains of Troy," &c. Nothing can be more easy and agree-
able than the way in which this pleasant rattler scatters about
at random the flowers and weeds that he has picked up and
preserved in the hortus siccus of his memory, or memoraedum
book, in the course of his ramblings. This book will find
readers among all classes.

DEAFNESS.—Sound Magnifiers, and Invisible
Operative Voice Conductors, to enable persons at an advanced
age, and of old standing extreme deafness, to join in general
conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker
at a publie assembly; they are the size of a very small gold
seven shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they
are not in the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than
having a small piece of fine wool in its place ; they are composed
of a metal to collect sound, peculiar to the Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons themselves ; and although they are so extremely anal
yet they enable those afflicted with extreme deafness, and
those who are only slightly dull of bearing to hear in every
respect equal to those of most acute bearing. Messrs. 8. and
B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle.street, Piccadilly, opposite the

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, March 7.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack shortly before Five o'clock.
Lord RLDESDALE presented a petition from
Newry, praying that wheat might be admitted
in preference to foreign flour. The Noble Earl
also presented a petition from Wigan, praying
that the provisions of the Act relative to licensed vic-
tuallers in London, preventing them from opening
their house before one o'clock on Sundays, or of
serving persons under a certain age, might be ex-
tended to the rural districts.
LOAN SOCIETIES BILL.
The NOBLk EARL moved the second reading of
the Loan SoCieties
Lord CAMPBELL trusted that the provisions of
the Bill would 13extended to Scotland.
',Lord REDESPALE said if there was any
objection to the seeond reading, the better course
would be for him to ptistpone the second reading to a
future day.
The second reading was thon postponed,
PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES.
Lord CAMPBELL presented petitions from several
parts of Scotland, praying that the Bill with respect
to the marriages of Dissenters, might i & declaratory
Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice of his
intention, on Friday next, to move for the appoint-
ment of a Committee to consider the law relative to
Marriages in Ireland, with a view to make such altera-
tions as might be necessary.
Lord CAMPBELL said, that all the petitions
which he had presented were in favour of the
Bill being made a declaratory and not an enact-
ing Act. Ile would take that opportunity of
putting a question to the Noble and Learned
Lord in reference to the subjects which had been
alluded to in her Majesty's most gracious Speech
from the Throne on the 3d February. In that Speech
her Majesty was pleased to say that measures
would be introduced to amend uthe Bankruptcy
Laws, and to effect improvement in the Eccle-
siastical Courts. It was now the 7th of March,
and no mention of either of those subjects had yet
been made in either House of Parliament by any Mem-
ber of her Majesty's Government. He begged to ask
whether any measure was in contemplation.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he would
introduce a measure on the subject of the Bankrupt
Laws on Monday next ; and that a Bill in reference
to the Ecclesiastical Courts was in preparation, and
would be introduced in the other House of Parlia-
ment under the care of the Secretary of State. With
respect to the Marriage Act he would move the
second reading of the Bill on Thursday next, when it
would be the proper time to discuss the principle.
Numerous petitions, praying for an alteration of
the law respecting mixed marriages in Ireland, were
presented by Lord BROUGHAM and the Marquis of
CLANRICARDE, from places in the counties of Down,
Tyrone, Armagh, and Londonderry.
The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition
from Southwark (as we understood), praying for the
interference of Parliament for the prevention of burial
grounds being formed in populous places.
Lord MELBOURNE presented a petition from a
place in Ireland relative to Presbyterian mixed mar
riages.
