ciated his advice showed that the Duke of Wellington
wished to have the Prince appointed his
Commandern-chief and pointed, as afording circum-
stantial proof that indirect influence existed behind
the throne to the fact that Ministry had resigned dur
ing the present reign except in consequence of vote of
the Legislature These considerations he supported by
detailing variety Of incidents which had taken place
different departments of the public service and entering
with much particularly into the late transactions at the
Horse Guards, and meeting with general and positive
denial the allegation that the Prince Consort had
terfered in foreign affairs corresponded political
subjects with our Ministers at foreign Courts Out of
the of assertions there remained this that the Queen
and Prince shared mutual confidence with regard to
public well private affairs This the truth, and
the whole truth.
Mr. WALPoLE, in the Of the late administration,
added their testimony to the assertion that her Majesty
accorded her entire confidence to oil her Ministers He
then adverted to the subject Of reform and denied
necessity of making any changes in the system Of repre-
sentation.
The address was then agreed to.
The House of Lords did not sit Wednesday, and the
business in the Commons was unimportant Mr. BRorH-
moved resolution restricting, not preventing,
midnight legislation Lord JOHN RUSSELL combatted
the notion because it might seriously hamper the
of public business The motion rejected by vote
of 81 to "a.
We think that the calumnies about the Prince Consort
have received their qetus in the mind Of every candid
and unpreudiced man. The Marquis Of CLASRIcARDEss
speech in the House Of Lords afforded Ministers OPP
porunity of in degree forestang the information
which the yolumnous documents will afford the ques
ton of the day The noble Marquis has had considera
bic experience Of the Russian Court He says whenever
the Car returns direct and categorical answer to
question he has invariably been found to be of
his word but as invariably the contrary when that
swer is general or indirect
There is little or news from the seat Of war The
advanced and main bodies Of Osten Sackens division Of
the Russian army have reached Bucharest Telegraphc
dispatches to the oath have been received from Kraova
there then alteration in the state Of things at
Kalafat AT various places in Lower Wallachia attacks
were almost Of daily occurrence, which nearly always
terminated in favor Of the Turks.
Prussia and Austria yet the of much anxiety
and doubt. Count oRLoFr has visited, Vienna his
Russian embassy, and about to proceed to Berlin.
If he do nothing more he will endeavor to the
full and fast neutrality of these Powers in the coming
contest and it il feared he may accomplish this
consequence of the great number Of foreign officers
who daily arrived at Constantinople to offer their
vices Turkey the Government has resolved to employ
only those whose previous commissions perfectly
regular, and who should be recommended by their
spective Ambassadors
The news of the day from Persia is favorable. The
Shah has renewed his alliance with Turkey and the Per-
sian Minister at Consannople has received instructions
from Teheran to communicate this information to REscHID
PAcHA.
The most important nearer home is account in
the Belgian papers of visit from Prince NAPOLEON JE
to the court of King LroPoLD The change in the
mutual relations of the Belgian and French Courts,
and of the Bonaparte and Coburg families, which this
event appears mark gives this visit Importance
which the public will not fail to recognise 1t is said
that King LEOPOLD has recently manifested great de-
sire to establish and strengthen friendly feeling between
France and Belgium particularly since the good under
standing between England and France upon the Eastern
question. Prince NAPOLEON has been received in the
most distinguished by the King Of Belgium, and
the Duke and Duchess Of Brabant and Brussels and
is said that the two latter will honor Paris with
visit before long But what will LEoPoLDs friends among
the fused Bourbons say to this? And how will Ausrias
Imperial Lord relish the determination of his relatives
the Duke and Duchess Of Brabant, with LOUIS NAPOLEON
and his Empress? Truly if this Eastern business pro-
crosses it will produce strange combinations. It
rumored that the Prince NAPOLEON would extend his
journey Berlin with the view Of counteracng any in
fuence which Count Orlo may have exercised at that
Court.
1t is said to be decided that France will send an army
of eighty thousand to assist Turkey and England
twenty thousand the whole to be commanded by Gen.
PARAGUAY D'HnLIERs Twenty thousand French troops
to be draughted from Algeria, and for fear this
weakening the army of Africa should encourage some
of the native tribes to REBEL ABD-EL-KADER will issue
proclamation exhorting the African Arabs to remain
quiet and reminding them that the French troops are
sistng their fellow Mussulmcn. 1t is new known that
the English feet lately in the Tagus has been ordered
home for the purpose Of being stationed at the More and
off the port of Sheerness and be kept in constant
state of readiness for any emergency and in their
services should be required in the North Seas These
signs that if nothing be ultimately done, something is
apprehended being likely to be done. And again, the
British regiments Of the line each be raised to their
full complement of thousand and the battaons
of the guards, six hundred and forty each
to be raised eight hundred. This gives dreadful
of preparation"
There is very little domestic news Many new books
being published; none of very striking interest We
do not know how many congregations Of Mormons you
number in the United States, but much surprised
find that there two hundred and twenty-five in Eng
land and Wales We are sorry to perceive, by official
report that Mr. BARGAINS loss by the Dublin Exhibition
will amount to nearly EGO, 900. Lord PALMEasroN is
again likely to win golden opinions in London by push
ing forward practical and long-needed reform He is
about to bring in bill for reconsructIg the commission
of sewers and for basng it the principle of represcn
