THE W A R.

No later telegraphic news from Odessa, Turkey, or the
Baltic.

It is reported that the Emperor of Russia refused to
accept the neutrality of Persia.
Omar Pasha is busy fortifying Shumla.
A rising in Bulgaria is feared, should the Russians ad-
vance, and is said to give Omar Pasha considerable un-
easiness.

The Russians are stated to be suffering considerably
from want of provisions, and mortality was daily in-

creasing.

HOUSE OF LORDS—Mompsy, MAT 1.

LORD ST. LEONARDS asked the government what were
the instructions under which tickets of leave were granted
to convicts in the country, and said the system required
reconsideration.
The LORD CIIANCELLOR promised to communicate with
the Home Secretary on the subject, and he had no doubt
the instructions would be produced.

After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL, the subject
dropped.
The Earl of ABERDEEN, in reply to Lord Lyndhurst,
said it was not the intention of the government to bring
in any measure this session respecting the University of
Cambridge.
The EARL of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from
Calcutta, complaining of the lighting, draining, and
cleansing of that city, and praying the house to extend to
it the benefit of municipal institutions. The noble
Earl spoke at great length in support of the petition, and
asked the Government whether they were prepared to
adopt any measures to remedy the evils complained of.
The Earl of GRANVILLE said the Governor-General in
Council was perfectly competent to deal with the evils
complained of. He could not recommend their Lordships
to interfere.
On the motion that the House go into committee on the
Income Tax Bill, •
The Earl of GRANVILLE made a general statement of
the nature and provisions of the measure, and entered into
a brief defence of the financial policy of the Governineot,
