COURT AND FASHION.

BARON BRITAIN/3N, the Swedish ambassador, died
on Friday afternoon.

Tam liAmzusx, at the Mansion-house to the gallant
officers (naval and military) ordered upon foreign service,
is fixed for Saturday next.
PRINCE ALBERT TAKEN TO THR TowEß.—On
Wednesday afternoon, Her Majesty the Queen, Prince
Albert, and two of the Royal Princesses, paid an almost
unexpected visit to the Tower. At a few minutes before
three the party left Buckingham-palace in two private
carriages, the first drawn by a pair of bays, containing
Her Most Gracious Majesty, Prince Albert, the Princess
Royal, and the Princess Alice. The Royal party minutely
inspected the jewel-house, the ramparts of the Tower,
the armouries, and the court-yard. Her Majesty was
attired in a very unassuming habit, and his royal
highness wore a blue frock coat with gold buttons.
THE Couar.—There is nothing of moment to record in
the court movements during the past week. The Queen
has had small dinner parties daily at Buckingham Palace,
and on Wednesday paid a visit to the Tower of London.
LIEUT.-GENERAL JAMES HAY, C. 8., Colonel of the
79th Highlanders, died at Kelburne, near Longford, on
Friday, the 24th ult.
LADY ELIZABETH LASCELLES died at Goldsborough
Hall, Yorkshire, on Sunday, last week, in her 28th year.
She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Clanricarde,
and granddaughter of the celebrated George Canning,
and married, three years since, Viscount Lascelles, eldest
son of Earl Harewood, by whom her ladyship has left a
youthful family.
THE REFORM CLUB Will entertain Vice-Admiral Sir
C. Napier, commanding the Channel Fleet, at (ruiner this
day. Lord Palmerston will take the chair.
REAR ADMIRAL SIR F. BEAUFORT, K.C.B. has retired
from his post of hydographer to the Admiralty, to which
office he was appointed in 1832. He is succeeded by Cap-
tain John Washington.
THE DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER remains in a very un-
satisfactory state. During two nights in the past week
her royal highness enjoyed some quiet sleep, but on other
nights has been distressed by her cough, and the want of
rest has rendered her weaker. Her Majesty and the
different members of the royal family have called or sent
daily to Gloucester House.

A LADY entered a shop, some days back, inquiring for
an article which she had forgotten. The facetious pro-
prietor asked her if she had missed anything else, and
upon receiving a reply in the negative, he reminded her
that she had left her bonnet behind,

NOTES, NOTICES, AND OPINIONS.

BY JOHANNES EITSTICUS.

XXI. THE NEW REFORM— BILL.—So Lord John Rus-
sell has abandoned this new scheme for revolutionising
the country. Good : but never to have introduced it
would have been infinitely better. The question now
arises—was it ever intended by its noble (or ignoble ?)
author to be carried ? Men of all parties say No ! Its
introduction was a solemn farce, unworthy of a statesman
—a trifling with the representatives of the people, most
discreditable to a minister. But the monster is defunct,
and it behoves us to be thankful. The demon of mischief
is easily evoked, and a discussion of the demerits of the
measure would probably have stirred up a thousand ill-
designing demagogues to overrun the country with their
long tongues, spouting blasphemy and socialism. Though
it is impossible to say to what lengths some will not go to
oppose the constitutional party, even though at the same
time they go far to destroy their own ; yet it is scarcely
credible that the Liberals generally would have voted for
a measure of so sweeping a character. The enfranchise-
ment of the six-pound renters would, virtually, have
disfranchised all other classes. Every merchant in Liver-
pool would have suffered the nullification of his vote by
the voices of his own workmen—taught, as these are, by
the same parties as are agitating for their enfranchisement,
to consider the interests of their employers as in direct
opposition to their own. Even a fusion of all the existing
electors into one party, representing the whole property
of the town, would not be sufficient to secure for that
property the advantage of a representative in parliament.
How would our Liberal merchants, and shipowners, and
shopkeepers like this ? Would it not be better at once to
adopt the proposal of the Preston " turn-outs," and create
' a labour parliament, whose functions should supersede
those of the House of Commons, and whose decisions
should be imperative on the House of Lords, and irrever-
sible even by the Queen herself !
XXII. PROTESTANTISM IN TITAM.—No wonder Pro-
testantism is spreading so rapidly in Tuam; for it appears
from a statement made by Lord Monteagle in the House
of Lords, that no less a person than the Romish Arch-
bishop himself has for some time past been engaged in
translating and printing an edition of the Holy Scriptures
in Irish, and which it is said has been widely circulated
throughout his diocese. This important work has been
carried on so secretly that, until the fact was elicited in
the parliamentary discussion, no one knew anything about
it—the Romano-Irish papers were studiously silent on the
subject, and no Scripture reader ever communicated a dis-
covery of the interesting and important circumstance to
any of the Protestant journals. If Dr. M`Hale had con-
fined himself to translating the Scriptures for his own
private use and the use of his priests, it would not have
been so serious a matter—but that the Romish laity should
be, as the "Freeman" asserts, invited and urged to read
and digest them, must be a crime so heinous in the eyes
of the Roman Pontiff, that it is no wonder it should have
been kept as secret as possible. Will Pius the 9th excom-
municate Dr. M`Hale ? We shall see. Meantime prose-
lytism goes forward, and by the blessing of God the diocese
of Tuam shall ere long be a stronghold of Protestantism.

OUTRAGE UPON ENGLISHMEN

IN ROME.

THE following statement of the treatment of
two British subjects by the Papal authorities, at
Citta della Pieve, on the Papal and Tuscan fron-
tier, is furnished in a letter by Mr. John Duncan,
one of the sufferers, to Mr. Freebody, the British
Consul at Rome. Mr. Duncan says :

We entered Italy in the month of October, 1853, each
furnished with a Foreign-office passport. We travelled
through Piedmont, Lombardy, Parma, Modena, and part
of the States of the Church, to Florence. There we ob-
tained the vista of the Papal Nuncia for Rome. Thus our
passports were perfectly en regle. We passed through
Leghorn, Siena, and Chiusi, where we obtained the vista
of the Tuscan authorities for leaving Tuscany, and
arrived at half-past ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, the
31st of January, at Citta della Pieve, intending to pro-
ceed at once to Orvieto, en route for Rome. In the two
leather bags, all the luggage we then had with us, were
the following Italian books —Ettore Tieramosca, pub-
lished at Florence ; I Promessi Sposi, published at
Florenqe ; an Italian and French dictionary ; two Italian
Bibles, one with the name of my friend, the other with
my own, written in the beginning ; and a few other
English and French books, secular and religious. In one
of my pockets were three copies of St. Paul's Epistle to
the Romans in Italian.
The two Italian Bibles were at once seized and taken to
the bishop, as about an hour afterwards were the other
books. I accompanied them to the palace, and after a
short conversation with the bishop returned to the Dogana,
where my friend and myself were both immediately arrested.
We were then taken by the marshal of the police force,
accompanied by two or three gendarmes, to another house,
where we were searched. Everything was taken from us
except our watches, keys, pencils, pocket handkerchiefs,
gloves, and silver money. Our clean letter paper and
envelopes were passed over fire. We were then taken,
escorted as before, to the governor, by whom we were
separately examined for about two hours. To every ques-
tion, except one—viz., who had given us the Italian
Bibles—we gave full answers. These were at once taken
down. We also made a declaration that the Biblesjvere
not intended for distribution. At the end the governor
requested us to go to Perugia, which we declined to do.
We were then requested to go up stairs that we might
dine. We went up and found ourselves in the criminal
prison. We were not, however, confined with the other
prisoners, but in the kitchen of the gaoler. It was now
two o'clock. I often demanded to know the reason of our
imprisonment—l was never informed. I asked for " Ettore
Tieramosca," or any other of my books to read ; none was
brought to me. I thrice asked to see the governor ; the
gaoler replied that he would come after dinner ; he never
came. I thrice asked for paper to write to my friends; it
was never brought. We had to sleep together on a bed
about two feet and a half broad.

Next morning, at half-past four o'clock, the under
gaoler desired us to get up and go off to Orvieto. This
we refused to do, both because it was too early and because
we wished first to see the governor. About half-past five
the marshal of the police force, accompanied by three
gensdarmes, came in and bade us rise and go. I replied,
" Not without seeing the governor." He threatened to
bind me with iron hand and foot, and to carry me by force.
I replied that being his prisoner I must obey him. Before
leaving the prison I said to him, " You understand that,
though I go, Ido not go of my own free will—l go on
command—l go by force." He said that this was what
he wished me to do. I asked, " Where do we go ?" He
replied, " Where you said you wished to go." I said,
"To Orvieto ?" He replied, " Yes—to Orvieto." This
last statement was repeated by the gendarmes. We were
taken, not to Orvieto, but to Perugia. The marshal and
two gendarmes kept us strict and close prisoners on the
way. We were never allowed to leave the carriage un-
guarded, and while they breakfasted at a roadside inn I
was recalled from walking up and down the room, and
compelled to sit by their side.

We reached Perugia about two o'clock, and were imme-
diately lodged in the " Carceri Criminal" I requested
from the head gaoler paper to write to my friends. He
formally refused it. I requested a book to read—it was
refused. I asked the same person when we should be
taken before the delegate. He replied " perhaps to-
morrow—perhaps the day after —perhaps I don't know
when." I asked where we should spend that night. He
replied, " With the other criminals." We were then
searched, our watches and pencils which had been left
with us at Citte. della Pieve were now taken from us, on
the ground that the prisoners with whom we were to be
confined were a wicked lot, and would rob us. Our shoes
were taken off and examined. We were now told that,
though we should be confined with the criminals—(the
stench which issued from the window of one of the rooms
in which these criminals were confined was intolerable to
us at a distance of three or four feet)—yet we should be
placed in different rooms. And all this was to be done,
the gaoler expressly said, not from his own will, but by
order of the superior. We were being led away to be
confined separately and with criminals, when, being much
alarmed for my friend, whose health was the object of our
journey, I represented the danger to the head gaoler. He
was inflexible. I besought him that he would at least
either put us in the same room or confine my friend apart
from the criminals. He said it was impossible, as he had
the command of the superior for what he did. I entreated
him, prayed him, pleaded with him in every way for my
friend, and he at last consented to speak to his superior
on the subject. ...We heard no more; but, about an hour
after, during which the descriptions of our persons were
taken, we were brought before the delegate.
His first words were, " You are at full liberty ;" but, so
far as I understood him, he made no apology for the
treatment we had received. Up to the last moment we
were not informed, either by the bishop or governor of
La Pieve or by the delegate of Perugia, of the cause
either of our detention or of our confinement. We
learned from the delegate that the two Italian and the
one English Bible had not been sent to him by the Bishop
of La Pieve; we have not yet received them. All the
rest of our books and papers (so far as we can remember)
were at once returned to us by the delegate, except one
copy of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans, in Italian,
which he retained on the ground that one for each was
sufficient.

SINGULAR INDICTMENT BOR LIBEL AND CONSPIRACY.
—At the Hampshire assizes, at Winchester, two men,
named George Brown and William Knighton, labourers,
were indicted for libel and conspiracy, at Portsea, on the
6th of April, 1853. Mr. Poulden, describing the nature
of the case to the jury, created considerable laughter in
the court. The prosecutrix kept a public house in St.
George's-square, in the town of Portsea. The defendants
had formerly been engaged as railway labourers, or
"navvies ;" but after residing same little time in the
town they opened a beershop almost opposite the house of
the prosecutrix, and some jealousy was excited between
the parties. After some time had elapsed, it transpired
that spirits had been sold at the house of the defendants,
and the prosecutrix's family gave information to the ex-
cise officers, which led to the detection of the defendants,
and a fine of £l4 was afterwards inflicted by the magis-
trates. As a piece of revenge the defendants resorted to
the following expedient. They secured the services of an
artist, and a painting was executed, being a likeness of
the prosecutrix, who is not pretty, and throwing out
some peculiarities in her physiognomy supposed to betray
propensities for liquid refreshments. The painting was
brought into court, amidst much laughter, it was a large
picture. The defendants had placed this board on the
front of their house, using it as the "sign" of the beer-
house, it being surmounted with the words, " The Hand-
some Woman." Crowds of people congregated in the
locality in consequence, and besides other annoyances, the
prosecutrix's property sustained serious damage. The
worst part of the case against the defendants was that
they had agreed to take down the painting for a considera-
tion of £26, which sum would have been paid by the
prosecutrix; but a solicitor advised her otherwise, and the
present indictment was preferred.—The judge suggested
that the " handsome woman" be painted out, and so end
the case.—After the prosecuting counsel had concluded
121

lia speech, a consultation between the parties ended in
the case being arranged by the defendants promising to
discontinue all manner of nuisance.—The jury having
been directed to find a verdict of guilty of the libel and
not guilty of the conspiracy, the defendants were ordered
40 be discharged on their own recognisance's not to repeat
til'he offence.

THE SUGAR DUTIES. —lt having been represented to
the Lords of the Treasury, by the Board of Inland Reve-
nue, that, as the practice of refining duty-paid sugar for
exportation might be expected to become general after the
6th of July next, it would be expedient to extend to duty.
paid sugar refined for exportation the advantages in regard
to the allowance of drawback on the paper used in packing
the same, which were conceded in 1842 to sugar refined,
in bond for exportation ; and the board having suggested,
with a view to effect this object,lhat the sugar drawback
should be allowed on the gross weight of the sugar includ-
ing the paper and string in which it is packed, by which a
small gain might be expected to accrue to the revenue,
their lordships have been pleased to sanction this proposal,
and they have issued directions to the commissioners of
customs for the necessary steps to be taken to carry the
proposition into effect.

Tn PEACE DEPuTe.nox.—The following is said to
be the substance of the replies of the Emperor of Russia
to the solicitations of the three Quakers who waited on
him recently :—" We received the blessing of Christianity
from the Greek empire, and this has established and main-
tained ever since a link of connexion, both moral and
religious, between Russia and that power. The ties that
have thus united the two countries have subsisted for 900
years, and were not severed by the conquest of Russia by
the Tartars ; and when, at a later period, our country
succeeded in shaking oft' that yoke, and the Greek empire
in its turn fell under the sway of the Turks, we still con-
tinued to take a lively interest in the welfare of our co-
religionists there; and when Russia became powerful
enough to resist the Turks, and to dictate the terms of
peace, we paid particular attention to
,the well-being of
the Greek Church, and procured the insertion in suc-
cessive treaties of most important articles in her favour.
I have myself acted as my predecessors have done, and
the treaty of Adrianople, in 1829, was as explicit as the
former ones in this respect. Turkey, on her part, re-
cognised the right of religious interference, and fulfilled
her engagements until within the last year or two, when,
for the first time, she gave me reason to complain. I will now advert to the parties who were her principal
instigators on that occasion. Suffice it to say, that it be-
came my duty to interfere, and to claim from Turkey the
fulfilment of her engagements. My representations were
.
pressing, but friendly, and I have every reason to believe
that matters would soon have been settled if Turkey had
not been induced by other parties to believe that I had
ulterior objects in view,—that I was aiming at conquest,
aggrandizement, and the ruin of Turkey. I have solemnly
disclaimed, and I do now as solemnly disclaim, every such
motive. . . . Ido not desire war. I abhor it as sin-
cerely as you do; and am ready to forget the past if only
the opportunity be afforded me. . . . I have great
esteem for your country, and a sincere affection for your
queen, whom I admire, not only as a sovereign, but as a
lady, a wife, and a mother. I have placed full confidence
in her, and have acted towards her in a frank and friendly
spirit. I felt it my duty to call her attention to future
dangers, which I considered sooner or later likely to arise
in the East, in consequence of the existing state of things.
What, on my part, was prudent foresight has been un-
fairly construed in your country into a designing policy,
and an ambitious desire of conquest. This has deeply
wounded my feelings and afflicted my heart. Personal
insults or invectives I regard with indifference. It is
beneath my dignity to notice them, and I am ready to
forgive all that is personal to me, and to hold out my
hand to my enemies in the true Christian spirit. I cannot
understand what cause of complaint your nation has
against Russia. lam anxious to avoid war by all possible
means. I will not attack, and shall only act in self-
defence. I cannot be indifferent to what concerns the
honour of my country. I have a duty to perform as a
sovereign. As a Christian I am ready to comply with
the precepts of religion. On the present occasion my
great.duty is to attend to the hlterepts aUsl 1.194191 r a my

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

ROUSE OF LORDS—TUESDAY, FEB. 28.
ALTrA lliEiTre.—ln answer to a question, the Earl of
90:1tEx said that a bill would be introduced this ses-
ww n into the other House of Parliament, by which power
it; be taken to modify the existing law respecting the
W` fo"'luat in Egland, by which he believed a power existed
`lLend the 80,000 men to be raised to 120,000. It
intended to vary that, and extend to Ireland the
in rw,..er of raising and embodying 30,000 militia, and 10,000
Militia ; but it was not intended to embody the Irish
hie' ius Year.
ri TENANT RIGHT.—Lord DONOUGHICORE, in
relthe second reading of several bills to amend the
iy4ions of landlord and tenant in Ireland, described the
irips which were constantly inflicted, both on buyers
,„°ceoPiers, under the present faulty state of the law.
rienZallaged his own landed property, and from his expe-
tow"' of the obstacles to improvement which the law
kraPresented, he earnestly desired that it should be re-

how as to whether they should legislate on the rela-
te}, of landlord and tenant, for there were already 200

i►heimer In
Ireland was in a most anomalous position, but
eansmL they should endeavour to remove the difficulty
lord E. 0Y this huge mass of legislation. He urged their
tsitt-t,',4)8 to consider the whole subject in a select com-
ukt an', if possible, to devise some means by which
ZPensation of a retrospective character might be given
ants consistently with the rights of property.—After
to th further discussion, the Lord CHANCELLOR conspted

changes in our system of law.—The ATTORNEY-GENERAL
gave his ready assent to the motion, but he did not believe
that the commission would do more than dissipate a vast
deal of prejudice as to the resources of these societies, and
as to the application of their revenues.—The SOLICITOR-
GENERAL said he could not agree with the Attorney-
General that this subject should be left entirely in the
hands of the Inns of Court. They were great national
institutions ; their public rights inferred public duties,
and the manner in which they discharged those obliga-
tions was a fit subject of inquiry by parliament.
After some further discussion the motion was agreed to.
Tim Minx SYSTEIII.-Sir H. HALFORD obtained leave
to bring in a bill to restrain stoppages from payment of
wages in the hosiery manufacture, with an understanding
that the bill, after it had been read a second time, should
be referred to the committee upon Mr. C. Forster's Truck
Bill.—The house adjourned at ten minutes before six.

THURSDAY, MARCH 2.
LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Mr. GEA.CH moved, with reference to this bill, that the
178th standing order be suspended, and that the several
petitions of merchants, manufacturers, and traders resi-
dent in Birmingham, of the directors of the Chamber of
Commerce of Manchester, and of the Manchester Com-
mercial Association, which had been presented against the
said bill, be referred to the committee appointed to con-
sider such bill.
Mr. PATTEN opposed the motion, on the ground that to
agree to the course suggested by the hon. member would
be to transgress the rules of the standing order committee,
which should never be disturbed except on very special
grounds.
After some observations from Mr. HOESFALL, Mr. H. T.
LIDDBLL, and Mr. CIIEETIIAM, the motion was withdrawn.
LONDON DRAINAGE.—The motion for the second read-
ing of the Great London Drainage Bill was negatived
without a division.
PETITIONS were presented by Mr. HORSFALL, from the
working men of St. Saviour's district, Liverpool, in favour
of the entire closing of public-houses and beer-shops on the
Sunday; from Bootle, Lancashire, against the Oaths Bill;
from certain inhabitants of Liverpool, against the Medical
Reform Bill ; and from the Mechanics' Institute at Liver-
pool, in favour of a decimal system of coinage; and by Mr.
BROTIIERTON, from the magistrates of the county of Lan-
caster, acting for the Hundred of Salford, and from the
magistrates of the city of Manchester, for the establish-
ment of reformatory schools.
ROMANIST Altair CHAPLAINS.—In answer to a ques-
tion, Mr. S. HERBERT said it MIS the custom, whenever
troops were sent on foreign service, to appoint a sufficient
number of chaplains for their spiritual care, and upon the
present occasion there would accompany the force, which
amounted to 25,000 men, four chaplains of the Church of
England, one Presbyterian, and two Romanist priests,
making in all seven ecclesiastics.
MAIL CONTRACTS.—in reply to a question, Sir J.
Gum:um was understood to say that the General Screw
Steam Company had tendered the resignation of their
contract with the government for the conveyance of mails,
and that the resignation was accepted three days ago. He
could not state what arrangements the Postmaster-general
had made for the conveyance of the mails.
EMIGRANT SHIPS.—Mr. J. moved for a
select committee to inquire into the recent cases of loss of
life on board emigrant ships, and generally into the suffi-
ciency of the existing regulations for the health and pro-
tection of emigrants.—Mr. F. PEEL said the whole subject
of the passengers' law had been inquired into by a com-
mittee in 1851, which went into the whole matter, and,
in consequence of that investigation, and based upon their
report, a measure was introduced and passed in the fol-
lowing session. Upon this fact he founded his principal
objection to the motion ; another was, that some limit
must be put to government interference upon the subject,
and he thought that interference had been carried as far
as it could well be. The number of emigrants who had
left this country in 1852 and 1853, since the existing law
came into operation, was 792,983, and of that number only
510 had lost their lives by shipwreck. With respect to
the general mortality, the rate among emigrants to Aus-
tralia and Canada had been greatly reduced—in the latter
case to per cent. '• in those to the United States, among
whom the mortality was 8 per cent., there was a difficulty
in enforcing the provisions of the law in that country.
He recommended that the inquiries of the committee
should be confined to the preservation of life.—Mr. H. T.
LIDDELL wished to call the attention of the house to the
case of the Irish emigrants who were brought over from
Ireland to the ports of this country, and who were ex-
posed to great suffering and privation. When the right
honourable member for Morpeth (Sir G. Grey) held the
office of Secretary of State for the Home department, he
(Mr. Liddell) had felt it his duty to bring under the notice
of that right hon. gentleman the extreme inconvenience
to which the county of Northumberland was subjected
from the introduction of shoals of Irish emigrants in the
most miserable state of poverty and destitution. It would
be an extremely proper inquiry for the commission how
these people were brought over to this country, by whom
their passage was paid, and on what terms they were
shovelled from the sister country into England.—Mr.
CARDWELL observed that legislation in this matter must
be progressive. Measures were now in progress to in-
crease the safety of emigrants, and he should be happy to
adopt any practicable suggestion for that object.—Captain
SCOBELL made some remarks upon the case of the Tay-
leur, which, he said, was the most extraordinary case he
had ever heard. After some further discussion (Mr. Peel
having recalled his recommendation), the motion was
agreed to as it originally stood.
MANAGEMENT OF THE ARMY.—A Motion by Mr.
HUME, respecting the practicability and expediency of
consolidating the different departments connected with
the civil administration of the army, which recommended
that the greater part of the authority, with reference to
the army, at present belonging to the Secretaries of State,
should be vested in the Secretary at War, and that he
should be responsible to parliament for all measures
relating to the army, led to some discussion, in the course
of which Mr. HERBERT proceeded to show the inconve-
niences likely to follow a consolidation of the offices, which
would, in his opinion, create difficulty where there was
now simplicity. Practically, we had a system which, upon
an emergency, gave very efficient results. During the
last few weeks it had been seen how the machinery worked.
A larger force had been prepared for embarkation than
the Duke of Wellington had taken with him to Waterloo,
showing that the different departments could work har-
moniously together.—Lord J. RUSSELLI concurred in what
had fallen from the Secretary at War. Mr. Herbert had
explained the inconveniences which would attend a new
arrangement of the War Department at a moment when
the greatest exertions were required; but, with respect to
the ,snggestion that there, should be a military secretary
attached to the Colonial Department, it had already been
taken into consideration, and he believed it was necessary
that there should be some arrangement of that kind.—The
motion was withdrawn.
ELECTION EXPENSES. —On the motion of Mr. HUME,
leave was given to bring in a bill to charge the expenses
of hustings at elections upon counties and boroughs in
lieu of the candidates.

THURSDAY, Mincn 2.
