RUSSIA

The army of fhe Caucasus is to be diminished, and has
received strict orders to confine itself to the defensive.
fknhamyl has established a regular estafette service with
Coptantinople, in order to Otain the earnest intelligence

of what passes in Europe. His intention is to assume the
offensive as soon as hostilities shall have commenced in
Poland. It must not be forgotten that there are from
60,000 to 80,000 Poles in the Caucasus. The state of
southern Russia is very uneasy. The Cossacks are greatly
irritated by the liar

...shriess with which the Czar has treated
them. The province of Kusan, situated between the
White Sea, the Ural Mountains, and the Wolga, is in a
state of greit excitement. The four millions of Tartars
who inhabit it are eagerly expecting an opportunity of
throwing off the iron yoke of the Emperor.

SWEDEN

Disturbances broke out at Stockholm on the 19th ult.,
the results of a great reform banquet. The military were
ultimately obliged to interfere, and several persons were
killed. Order was restored next day, and the King and
Princes, on riding through the capital, were received with
great enthusiasm. Several deputations waited on the
King, to express their sorrow at what had occurred. Other
accounts speak of the erection of barricades, the breaking

into and plunder of shops, the release of prisoders, and the
destruction of the house of Count Hartmansdorf, the
leader of the ultra-Conservative party. The Swedish
papers attribute these excesses to no political cause.
They proceeded from the lowest class of the people.

PRUSSIA

Accounts from Berlin state that not only was the city
perfectly tranquil, but the King was more popular than
ever he had been. His Majesty started for Potsdam on
the morning of the 25th, where the magistrates and the
inhabitants treated him with great enthusiasm. The pub-
lic could scarcely be prevented from taking the horses
from the King's carriage and drawing it themselves. The
King addressed the people and the officers of the POtsdam
garrison, and returned to Berlin about noon. The at-
tempts to establish a republic in Prussia have all signally
failed.

A letter from Berlin in the Dusseldorfer Deitung
speaks of_the critical position of affairs with regard to

despatches at Kiincgsberg the Russian Ambassador, Baron
Meyendorf, has been instructed by his court to leave
Berlin and has taken his departure with his family and
the rest of the legation. This almost amounts to actual de-
claration of war. The 2nd regiment has consequently re-
ceived orders to march to the frontier. Almost all the
liberated Poles have left Berlin for Posen. They-are all
provided with arms, and according to their statements

pretty correct), all the Poles now in England and 'France,
would join them at Posen to assist in reconquering Poland.
Hopes are entertained of raising a Polish army of 40,000
men in the Grand Duchy of Posen.

DENMARK

AND THE DUCHIES

The Danes are arming their sea defences with all speed.
The King has declined to allow Schleswig (a duchy which
has been attached to Denmark from time immemorial)
to pass over to the German Confederation, though it is to
have " as much provincial independence as tne nature of
the case admits." The Danish Government shrinks from
extremities to the last moment, but the inhabitants are
prepared to follow the first appeal of their King. The
Schleswig-Holstein insurrection has met with little favour
at Hamburgh, though things look very black. A letter
dated Hamburgh, March 28th, says :—` The Danes pre-
pare for war, and the German Confederation having taken
the quarrel up, a complete panic reigns at our Exchange.
It is feared that the Danes will blockade the Sound and
Belt, and seize all German vessels. All shipments from
the Baltic must, consequently, cease immediately, as also
from Denmark and Holstein. 12,000 Danes are said to
be preparing to march into Schleswig. Several vessels
on their way through the Belt have not been allowed to
pass, and have gone back to Lubeck. All the seamen in
merchant vessels in Denmark will be pressed ; a good
many have already deserted their vessels to enter the
navy. It is, indeed, a most disastrous time." It seems
that the Duchy of Holstein belongs to the German Con-
federation, but that of Schleswig does not; and the King
of Prussia has no legal authority over the latter.

It was reported in Berlin on Thursday last, on good
authority, that the King of Prussia had ordered Count
Donhoff, his minister at Frankfort, to lay the Schleswig-
Holstein question before the Diet without delay ; his Ma-
jesty himself having only taken precautionary measures in
conjunction with the King of Hanover and the Duke of
Brunswick for defending the Duchy of Holstein in case of
an attack by the Danes. The 10th corps of the Federal
army, consisting of 24,000 men, with a reserve of the same
number of Prussian troops, were held in readiness to pro-
tect the sacred fatherland. Letters from Frankfort of
Friday announce that the Diet had already commenced
its deliberations on the proposition of Count Donhoff, and
add that the decision of that body could not be doubtful.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) _ _

By the Victoria steamer, Captain Dickenson, which
arrived at Hull, on Sunday, from Hamburgh, we have
received the subjoined intelligence :
" HAMBURGH, MARCH 31.
"A Prussian courier passed through this town on the
evening of the 28th, bearing a letter from the King of
Prussia to the King of Denmark, reminding his Majesty
that from the time of Christian I. in the 15th century, the
successive Sovereigns of Denmark had recognised the
ancient stipulation that Holstein and Schleswig never
should 'be separated, upbraiding him for his present inten-
tion of separating them without their consent, and de-
claring that he should considei the landing of a single
soldier—a Danish soldier—on the soil of Schleswig as a
declaration of war.

-17 his morning three couriers from the Holstein Pro-
visional Government passed through with despatches for
Hanover, Oldenburg, and Brunswick, earnestly entreat-
ing the immediate march of the promised contingents.
" KIEL, MARCH 29, 1 P.M.

" We learn that the island of Aisen is surrounded by
Danish ships sent to seize the estate of the Duke of
Augustenburg, which is there situate, and also to protect
and remove the few Danish inhabitants of the island."

The following is an extract from a private letter from
Hamburgb, received by a highly respectable firm at
Hull

------ -
" None but British vessels can get chartered for the
Belts or the Baltic."

The war with Mexico is said to have cost Jonathan five
hundred and seventy millions of dollars. .

A liberal newspaper, without being subjected to the
censorship of the press, has made its appearance at Cra-
cow—it is called the Morning Star.
The Duke of Brunswick has placed his dominions at the
disposal of the German Confederation, in favour of an
empire of Germany. The military have been given black,
red, and gold cockades and flags.
A rumour prevailed in London last week, and wan cir-
culated in many of the papers, that Warsaw had been re-
duced to ashes, and many hundred Russians murdered.
There is, however, no truth in the report.
The packet-ship New World, on Thursday morning,
brought one day's later news from New York than we
received by the steamer. The Senate at Washington, had
adjourned, having ratified the treaty with Mexico by a
vote of 58 to 15. The injunction to secresy had not been
removed.

A Copenhagen correspondent of the Literary Gazette
says that a short time ago Herr Anderson was presented
with " the order of the white falcon" by the Duke of Saxe
Weimar ; and a few days since " the order of the white
star" was presented to him by the King of Sweden,
through his ambassador at Copenhagen.
EXCUSABLE SACRILEGE.—A reward of 500 dollars has
been offered in the Roman Gazette, for the robber who
broke open a chest, secured by three locks, in St. Peter's,
and took out of it the skull of St. Andrew. The crime is
denounced as a dreadful sacrilege, and such, perhaps, it
may be legally considered ; but it is not altogether with-
out excuse; for the rogue who coveted St. Andrew's skull
had evidently no head of his own.
The Madrid mails of the 25th state that on the 24th the
Queen, while promenading at the Prado, was nearly upset
from her carriage. She jumped lightly out, and was not
hurt. There were rumours concerning the arrest of some
members of a club, including an Irish priest. It was in-
tended, it was said, to have. got up a republican move-
ment in the capital itself. The Infanta had not arrived at
San Sebastian on the 25th, but was hourly expected.
A curious emeute occurred at Christiana, in Norway, on
the 15th and two following evenings. The editor of the
Morgenblad, in some remarks on the French Revolution,
called upon the Norwegians to arouse themselves to action.
The students came in the evening and saluted him in his
house with groans. Some friends of the editor's made a
counter demonstration ; ;from words they got to blows.
and on the third evening a serious affray commenced, and
the military were called out. Several prisoners were taken.
THE WANDERING COURTEZAN.—Senora Lola Mentes,
after having been again insulted at Frankfort,
.arrived at
Mayence on Tuesday. The hotel where she took up her
residence was immediately surrounded by a great multi-
tude of people. and the civic authorities found themselves
induced to call upon her and request her to leave the town
as quickly as possible, a steamer for Rotterdam just being
ready to start. The lady at first refused ; but, seeing that
the request would probably be changed into a command,
she obeyed, and embarked at once for Rotterdam, whence,
it is said, she intends to visit England.

IRELAND,

On Monday, a great tenant-right meeting was held in
Lurgan, for the purpose of forwarding petitions to parlia-
ment on the subject of tenant-right
On Wednesdayi, at Roscommon, the unfortunate Patrick
Flynn was executed for the murder of Michael Duignan,
on the sth of April, 1845.
Hoaan, a blacksmith of Ennis, has killed his son, by
running a red hot iron spike into the lad's head, during a
fit of anger caused by the son's disobedience.
A detachment of Royal Artillery is quartered in the
Castle of Dublin, with four nine-pounder howitzers and
tumbrils of ammunition: 10,000 stand of arms and 150,000
rounds of musket ball cartridge are lodged in the castle.

According to the Dublin Herald "ball practice" has
commenced among the repeal rifles. About 150 of them
assembled on the North Wall on Sunday, and exhibited
no contemptible specimen of skill.
At a meeting held at Galway, op St. Patrick's Day, a
Mr. Winter charged Lord John Russell with " callous
and cold-blooded cruelties and wholesale butcheries,"
and said, amidst loud cheers, that his lordship deserved
to perish on the block.

PREPARATIONS.—Troops are now arriving daily in Ire-
land, and Lord Clarendon has adopted every precaution
necessary for the emergency in which he is placed. The
loyal inhabitants of Dublin, to the amount of several
thousand men, are to be supplied with muskets and am-

munition.
Mrs. Bray, formerly Miss Walker, of Newcastle, in
this county, who was employed as nurse to the Princess
Royal, has been also engaged in the same capacity for the
infant Princess, born a few days since.—Limerick
Chronicle.—[lf the above statement be true, it is clear
her Majesty does not apply to the " no Irish need apply"
system.l

There was a scene at the Repeal Association meeting
on the 7th. John O'Connell was, as would-be represen-
tative of his Sainted Sire, for pacific measures. He pro-
posed an address to the Queen for Repeal, and to the
Prime Minister for food. A Mr. Leyne, however, spoke
openly for violent and coercive means for attaining their
objects. He afterwards explained that he meant nothing
" illegal."
The Dublin. Herald and Pilot newspapers speak of a
threatening letter delivered to Lord Clarendon, on or
before the, 17th, threatening his Lordship that evening
with assassination at the ball. The Pilot says that a

person handed a note to one of the attendants at the door,
telling him to give it to his Excellency, and then hurriedly
departed. At the Repeal meeting, on Monday, on Lord
Clarendon's name being mentioned by one of the
speakers, a fellow shouted at the top of his voice " he is
a good mark."
The Repealers, finding that Lord Clarendon is too well
prepared to permit them to hope for success from their
pikes and pistols, are trying to wheedle the Protestants
of Ireland into " peaceful co-operation" with them. For
this purpose they propose to address a persuasive appeal
"to the Orangemen and anti-Repeal Protestants of
Ireland." " The Orangemen and Conservative Protes-
tants of Ireland," says the Freeman, " are yet unac-
quainted with us." Quite a mistake. They are some-
what too well acquainted with you, and the better they
know the less they like you.
THE ORANQEMEN.—A meeting of the Orangemen of
the Moneymore district, was held on the 27th ult., to take
into consideration the present alarming state of the coun-
try, when an address to his Excellency the Lord Lieu-
tenant was agreed to, expressive of their determination to
support the monarchial government of the realm, and
maintain the union between Great Britain and Ireland.
Similar resolutions have been passed by most of the
lodges throughout Ireland, and we trust that the Irish
viceroy and the government and people of Great Britain
generally will appreciate and honour the fidelity of the
Protestant people of Ireland.
HORRIBLE MURDER.—The Longford Journal records
the murder of Michael Donohoe, aged 73, a farmer, at
Fostra, who had made an agreement some time ago with
his own son to let him have the farm on certain terms.
The son complained of these terms on various occasions,
and particularly after his marriage, and it is supposed
that, in order to relieve him of the burden, some of his
friends attacked the deceased on the night of the 26th,
fractured his skull with a hatchet or hammer, and, in a
word, murdered him. The verdict of the 'coroner's jury
was wilful murder against some person or persons un-
known.

A SERIOUS COUNT IN THE INDICTMENT.—OLIF readers
are aware that " reasonable" fine and imprisonment are
the punishments attached to sedition. It is, however,
very confidently stated that one count in the indictment
to be preferred against Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Meagher,
and Mitchel, charges them, under the 37th Geo. 111., Ist
Vic. 91, with endeavouring to seduce her majesty's forces
from their allegiance. In this case (if convicted) they
would incur the punishment of transportation for the
term of their natural lives, and certainly with the cordial
concurrence of all her majesty's loyal subjects, whether
in Ireland or in England.
A PARADOX.—A return just issued of the amount of
stocks transferred from England to Ireland, and the re-
verse, in each year from 1837 to 1847, both inclusive, gives
the total as £83,945,742 stock transferred from England
to Ireland in that period, and £6,193,879 stock transfer-
red from Ireland to England. It would thus appear that
in eleven years £7,751,863 has been added to the capital
of Ireland, and realised in the public funds. .Who has all
this money ? Why is Ireland starving amid so great
plenty ?—become interesting questions for the statesman
and political philosopher.
DUBLIN THE SEAT OF THE POPEDOM.-011 Saint
Patrick's Day, a priest, belonging to Birmingham, preached
at Rome, and in his sermon, said—" Should foreign inva-
sion or domestic conspiracy deprive Pio Nono of the old
patrimony of St. Peter, Ireland will be proud to furnish
a new abode of the popedom, a new central focus of fer-
vent Catholicity. What Avignon was, let Dublin be !"
Numbers of Irish workmen, driven from France, are
now arriving at Dublin, in a state of the greatest destitu-
tion. It is said that Smith O'Brien, on landing at Bou-
logne, met some of his countrymen on the pier, waiting to
be conveyed to the British coast. " Go, show yourselves
at Conciliation-hall," said he " and ask the gentlemen
there if they will not take arms now for the French equa-
lity."

THE IRISH LANDLORDS.—At the Repeal meeting, on
Monday, Lord Miltown stated that, in the county of
Mayo, two gentlemen of large landed estates, hearing that
the Society of Friends were looking for ground, for the
benevolent purpose of employing the people, competed
with each other in making offers of their land. One
offered his to the society, merely on the condition of
paying all taxes upon it ; but the other went further, for
he not only offered his land without rent, but undertook
to pay the poor rates upon it, if the society would under-
take to pay merely the county cess. Such was the state
to which the gentry of Ireland were now reduced ! A
gentleman, one of large fortune in the county, had lately
been obliged to sell his carriage and horses to pay a sum
of £1,500 due upon his estate in poor rates alone, and had
since been obliged to fly the country altogether to avoid
arrest.

SAVAGE AND FATAL BRITTALITY.---TWO farmers, next
door neighbours, near Rathdrum, county of Wicklow,
having quarrelled, one of them, with a party, attacked
the other, broke the old man's skull, and left him stretched
beside a wall weltering in his blood. A sister of the vic-
torious party got on the wall, raised an immense stone
therefrom, and with all her might sank it down into the
old man's chest and heart. His old wife, long after, hob-
bled out to see what was done ; they saw her, and came
at her with a spade. She raised up one arm, which they
slit from the wrist to the elbow. She then raised the
other to defend her head. This they broke in pieces,
then gave her two dangerous cuts in the head. One son's
skull was broken ; there are little or no hopes of his re-
covery, he being quite delirious ; the others are all man-
gled, such as broken arms, lips cut off, and teeth knocked
out with facks.
RorarsH LIBERALITY.—The impish journals of this
country all harp on the same string—that civil liberty is
-only compatible with Popish rule. On looking over the
new Papal constitution, therefore, we naturally looked to
see these respectable or questionable authorities confirmed.
We searched narrowly, hoped long, found nothing, and
incurred disappointment. Found nothing !—by no means !
We found much. It was comprised in a few words, but
to the manner the signification was " as Ossa to a wart.",
It was neither more nor less than this. Behold the Papal
spirit which ensures equality of freedom to every man
who breathes within the Papal jurisdiction :—" THE
PRo-
rLSSLON OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION IS INDISPENSA-
BLE AS A QUALIFICATION FOR THE EXERCISE OW CIVIL
AND POLITICAL BIGHTS." We can scarcely believe what
we read. What ! Civil rights not to be extended to the
man whose religious opinions are at issue with those held •
by the head of the state ? Oh, Dr. M'Hale !—is it in the
States of the church that no man shall possess a vote who
is not impressed with the convictions of the Sovereign of
those States ? In much bemoaned Ireland, papists have
not only such votes, but there, as in England also, they
are eligible as candidates. Popery—and Popery only—re-
fuse these rights.
ALARMING STATE OF IRELAND.—The aspect of affairs
in Ireland waxes worse and worse every day. The state
prosecutions, instead of checking the sedition of the dis-
affected, seems to have increased their audacity and

CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE,

The Countess of Bridgewlter has contributed the sum
of £3,300 towards the repair of Ellesmere Church.
The Lord Bishop of Manchester has appointed Dr.
Haggard, of Doctors' Commons, to be Chancellor of that
diocese.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has dismissed Mr.
Maitland, and appointed one of his sons-in-law to the
librarianship of Lambeth.
The Times states that the Rev. H. G. Liddell, head-
master of Westminster School, has been appointed tutor
to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.

The Rev. Mr: Kennedy, who has been the incumbent
of St. Paul's Church, Birmingham, during the last fifty-
two years, will preach his farewell sermon to the congrega-
tion on Sunday.

The Ecclesiastical Commissioners have resolved, on the
representation of John Tollemache, Esq., M.P., to aug-
ment the endowment of the Incumbency of Swallwood,
Cheshire.

On Tuesday, the annual meeting of the Bradford Auxi-
liary of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, was held in that
town.. The Lord Bishop of Ripon presided. The attend-
ance was very large. _

UNIVERSITY of DURHAM.—The Lord Bishop of Dur-
ham has given £6OO to the University, of which £2OO is
to be applied to the prize fund, and £lOO to the enlarge-
ment of the Castle Hall.

The foundation-stone of a new church at Fordcombe-
green, in the parish of Penshurst, was laid by Lord Har-
dinge on Friday last. The funds for the building were
transmitted from India just after his splendid achievements
there.

May we venture to suggest, what perhaps has already
been done in some parishes, that the Prayer for Fair
Weather should be offered ? The recent long prevalence
of rain may, we believe, be regarded as a visitation under
which this prayer may be fitly used.
OXFORD.-Mr. J. G. Sargent, First-Master of Merton
College, has just been elected to the Hertford Scholarship
for the promotion of the study of Latin. There were up-
wards of 30 candidates. It was announced that the second
in the examination was Mr. W. Word, Scholar of Trinity
College, who was lately head boy of the Royal Institution
School in this town.

The Lent Ordinations tby 13 Bishops) numbered alto-
gether 86 deacons, and 73 priests ; in all 159. Of these
were members of the University of Oxford : deacons, 24
priests 15. Of Cambridge : deacons, 33 ; priests, 28.
Of Durham : deacons, 3; priest, 1. Of St. Bees : dea-

It is of the value of £3O per annum, to be held for four
years. The exhibitioners are to be natives of the county
of Cumberland (or in defect of such, of Westmorland) who
havcvbeen educated during four years at the above named
grammar school, and are to be elected by a provost and
fellows of Queen's College.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.-011 Sunday
week• his Grace the Archbishop of. Canterbury preached,
for the first time after his Confirmation, a sermon on be-
half of the Benevolent Society, in the parish Church of
Farnham, Surrey, the BiShop of the diocese being present.
The occasion, was taken advantage of by the inhabitants
to testify, by the mode of their reception, their sense of
the honour conferred on the parish by the Primate as
well as the respectful attachment entertained by them-
selves towards their revered diocesan.
ELECTION OF THE BISHOP OF CHESTER.—Friday
having been appointed for the election of a Bishop of the
diocese of Chester, rendered vacant by the promotion of
Dr. John Bird Sumner to the Archbishopric of Canter-
bury, the proceedings created no inconsiderable interest,
twenty years having elapsed since the occurrence of a
similar ceremony. The Hon. and Rev. Dr. Anson, D.D.,
Dean of Chester, entered the Cathedral shortly before
eleven o'clock, being accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Slade,
Vicar of Bolton le Moors, and the Rev. J. Eaton, Canons
Residentiary of the Cathedral, with the officials ; and the
usual 'ceremonials having been gone through, Dr. John
Graham was unanimously elected to the vacant bishopric
of Chester.
