CARDIGAN ELECTION.
CARDIGAN ELECTION. Yesterday the Town of Cardigan was the scene of .intense excitement, consequent on the nomination of a representative for these ancient Boroughs. The appear- ance which the town presented on that occasion was one ot unusual gaiety for, early in the morning, groups of influential electors and others might be seen wending their way towards that all-important spot—The Town Ball. The town, which was very liberally bespattered with heart-rending and eloquent appeals to the free i*nd independent," testified to the true liberality and Untiring perseverance of its respectable and numerous; inhabitants. The hall, on this occasion, we must say, J Presented, to our minds, the most decorous and respect- table appearance it, has ever. been. our good fortune to witness; and thi», coupled with the galaxy of beauty *hich was there a«sembled, presented a scene long to be teraembered. The time for nomination having arrived, and the writ being read, Thomas Lloyd, Esq., of Coedmore, ros? and proposed John Evans, Esq., Q.C., as a fit and proper person to represent" these boroughs in Parliament; which was 8eeonded by Thomas Lloyd, Esq. Thomas Davies, ex Mayor, then rose and proposed ■J• Lloyd Davies, Esq., of Hlaen DyfFryn, as a fit and PT°per persra; ▼'rich was seconded by R. D. Jenk n Esq. John Evans, Esq., Q.C., then rose and said that he •hould not have presumed to have come forth from the '^tircment into which he had very willingly secluded "lmself, if it had not been for the very numerously 4igned and respectable requisition which had been for- warded to him while he was engaged in his professional; duties nor would that have been sufficient to have in- ductd him to come forward and offer himself for their "iffragea, had he not been supported by the great in- fluence of the Go^jerddan family—supported, also, by his lIoble friend, Mr. Lloyd, of Coedmore, and his interest. a preliminary, it was necessary to state that he had .long been a politician, and that ever since he had been Capable of forming a political opinion, his mind had been fttiefled that it was the Liberal party which had rend red the greatest service to the country. In his experience, ^hen in the House, he found that in a tim3 when every state of Europe was shaken to its foundation, the state Of our beloved Sovereign remained unmoved and un- •ffectod by the troubles which then menaced other na- tions— solely, a3 he believed, by the liberal opinion which then fast gaining ground. He would wish them to took back but forty years, and then they might see the Mate of things that existed when the Tories were in Power. Then the rotten boroughs were in exigence, and ~*ho representative system was a farce; nothing more required to return a member to Parliament than mere assembling of his numerous servants, who forthwith declared him elected. When this system was 'cpt away Lord Eldon wept bitter tears, and even the Sreat Duke of Wellington wondered, and asked How 15 the Queen's Government to be carried on Then it that difference of religious belief prevented a gen- *'CTOm from rising above the rank of Major in the army; *nd likewise prevented a Dissenter from filling other offices—eron excluding him from the office of common *-ouncilman. It was the Tories that passed a law for protection of agriculture. His honourable friend v*'r. Davies), ,on most questions, adopted the opinion of highly influential paper the Morning Herald, Better *lown by the appropriate title of "My Grandmother's /azette." There were also several other laws regarding imports and shipping, which prevented us from enjoy- lng innumerable luxuries and benefits. All these, how had been done away with by Liberal opinion the Tories, meanwhile, hanging on. He was proud to say had been instrumental in removing some of them; *jut he must say, with regard to the representative of Carmarthenshire (Mr. D. A. S. Davies), that, during the *ltae he was in Parliament, he never appeared in the •#me lobby as himself. When the state of things to Jhich he had just alhtded was in existence, whoever •jared to open his mouth against them was immediately designated a Jacobin, and scouted from public society. The first hlow, however, to this state of things was given by Mr. Canning, by proposing Catholic Emancipation, Jnd for this he was bitterly persecuted by Sir Robert Tho Duke of WellingtoA then dame into power, within two years the Catholic Emancipation Act. passed. Lord Melbourne then succeeded, and id a Wort time turned out; then Sir Robert P.jel got in; arid rrl'at was the surprise when, one morning in the House Commons, that gentlennn turned round and said that the Corn Laws must be abolished. The country turned JLSainst him. Mr. Disraeli abused and persecuted him. jVhere stood Sir Robert Peel—and when he spoke of him wished to speak, not in terms of d jrision or ridicule, as a great benefactor of his people; but from that "°Ur the party he had belonged to kept apart from him, 'nd placed themselves under a new leader—a leader -ho, when lately sent for to form a Government, «eclared that he was altogether unable to to so out of materials placed at his corrimartd, and should only be JMe to succeed if he had some of the opposite parly r° help him. He offerred himself to theni as an advocat J civil, religious, and commercial progression and no *oubt his friend (Mr. Davies) would tell them that he J»o was for progression, but his progress, they might depend upon it, was in hanging on. Some persons bbJected to his opinions, arid said that they went too far, but he did not think they did. He was an advocate for extension of the suffrage, as he thought the present "*nchiso was far too high, preventing, in many instances, of good character and sound judgment from exer- £ the privilege which others enjoyed in this he may Wrong, but he did not think ha was. He had always -'oted for the ballot, because he never yet had heard an 4rguraent against it. The present system was productive Of great evils; now, for instance, there were men, who Wished to vote in accordance with their opinions, but -ho lived under Mr. Tomkins, and were under the im- !Qediata observstion of Mr. Flinkins, his agent, and con- Jfquently were compelled to vote according to his direc- tion. Now, he would ask them, would it not be much better that those men should be able to put whatever 44rae they chose on a bit of paper and so give expres- lioTI to their opinion. tf any person would stand up 44d say that a man should not have free opinion, he Jould admire hini; or if he came in and said, "I am Broadacres, you must vote for me!" but if they ^hed to have a true representation, let it be by the °*llot. One of the great evils under which we were Offering was the law. It was A hard thing to many a that he could not Buy a piece of land without going Jarough long formalities and, if they did him the honour of electing Kim as their representative, that •jhould be one of the first questions to which ,he should ^ect his attention. He could not say, like Mr. Davicj, Jhat he could bring a railway to their town, and, to tell the truth, he thought Mr. Davies could riot either. ■V hen the question of choosing a representative in Par- liament was to be discussed, to talk of electing a man £ ?cause ho could bring a railway to their town was, in opinion, nothing better than selling their birthright °r a mess of pottage. They were asked to vote for a who would bring back the worst state of things Merely for the sake of bringing a railway to their town, if they did it would be an evidence of the most sor- motives. With regard to our position in the present "ar, he thought there was a prospect of a good, a glorious, an honourable peace, and when this was attained, unprecedented and unequalled valour of our country- men will achieve for themselves a name which will pre- all other nations from coming into contact with Having expressed his regret that the female in- was arrayed against him, he resumed his seat llrilidat loud cheers. The cheers having subsided. J- Lloyd Davia», Esq., of Blneqdyffryn, after a few spoken in an under tone, said that he wa,s that in a position to which he never before aspired. He Jas proud to come 'orward as a candidate for their suf- rage, and h« had been told that if he came, he should Veil supported. That a requisition should be sent to When he came to the neighbourhood where he he found the roads in a very bad condition, but •'ice that he had repaired and extensively improved therefore, he thought, that if it was in his p>ower 1° bring a railway into their country, he should cotifer a ^nefit on them which they would feel if they lived to the of Methuselah. It had been said that one Coriserva- member was quite enough, but he did not think so, if they had one Conservative and one Liberal they *°uld then in a state of equilibrium. He was not there *° justify the Tories, but he would say, that in the five I"I)m in which Mr. Evans was in Parliament, he thought they had brought forward some honest measures be could have given his support; but during the whole that time his name never orice appeared in support any of their projects. Why did Mr. Evans com J b«r« from his niaitve home He was sure that if it had ltlt been for the Gorgeddan interest he never would have !Orlke here and he would not look upon Mr Evans in any ^her light than a warming pan for the heir of Gorgeddan. any of the Prices themselves had come forward he J^ould give his word thathe would have not opposed them; jjut he felt disgusted thait any opposition should have "fought a man 300 miles to force upon that constituency. (Mr. Davies) had beeri b'orn in humble circumstances, jndby his own exertions had worked himself up to what now was; (cheers) but he had still enough of spirit of a true Briton to protest against such a pro- ceding. Though he was to day supported by those ob- Joctionable Tories, they were rtfcn who were the well- wishers, and tho best friends of the County of Cardigan. in his opinion, were a,set of men who, when ?ut of office, talked and projected a variety of things ^"t when in forgot all their former professions. Mr. t'lang talked a great deal about law reform, but why did not, when in Parliament, propose th; t subje-1. *bo«o are the men, who sent fifty-four thousnn 1 of their ^mtrj--men—the bravest of the brave—to starve in Crimea. Hewould ask whether we—who conquered *Vane*, and nil the Countries of Europe—were now to xded t > a aecond rate power ? He hoped not. having referred, st sottiq length, to the ^rcat mis- ^anagemont in connection with the war, he then came to the question of Free Trade, which he hopped was now settled question and he shoud not have referred to it **d not h\t honourable friend (Mr. Evans) previously tn. It they took the troublo to look at the market ^nrnsj they would sea that tho price of corn was double to what it Vas previous to the abolition of Com Laws.

As to BtiiA ahr>ut tho Tories h»Ilowin £ of ths Whig., tho Free Trade qiiesti >a was c^ncd ^ijf 'R-Sbort —a man of tho opposite ;>al"ty, Tfi^re -oao thing to bs taken notice of with rofercuc.) to »f Liberal o^niona, an I it his boliet that had it not been for the contrary tendencies of som( persons, the Liberal party would have revolutionised all' England. If they did him tie honour of electing him. he would fulfil the trust with honesty; and he would say that if any measure was brought forward to relieve them from any burden, it should have his earnest sup- port. After speaking-of some personal circumstances, connected with Church-rates, he said that it was a most! odious law; but still he was not the dishonest man to oppose it because his property was subject to it. As to the Ballot, he,had not the slightest objection to it, as far as to enable an; honest man to vote in accordance with his wishes and had it not been for the pressure on the side of his honourable friend, he thought there would have been no opposition there that day. The Squire Tomkinses were all-in opposition to him. They had been told that dissenters were much restricted, but he was not aware of it. They were enabled to worship God in their own way, and he did not know of any restriction to which they were subjected. He bad chapels of all denominations, on his property, and he re- ceived nothing but a more acknowledgement. Reference had been made to the Morning Herald, and he would say that he thought it was a very good paper, and, though it may be conducted with less ability than the great leviathan," ,it certainly bad more steadfastness, as it never denied .one day what it had said the previous one. Mr. Evans had told them that if they returned him (M. Davies) to Parliament he should vote with the Carmarthenshire member; but that gentleman was nothing to him, and he could assure them that he would never vote to .please any man. After having viewed the present aspect of affairs at some length, he assured them thrtf he should 1 persevere and poll to the last man. He hoped they would examine and exercise their privi- lege in a proper manner, and congratulated them on their decorous and gentlemanly behaviour, instancing it as an evidence of the advancement and improvement of of the peoples. The worthy gentleman concluded his speech in the natural dialect, and resumed his seat amidst uproarious cheering. The Mayor then called for a show of hand, which was announced to be in favour of J. Lloyd Davies, Esq. A poll was also demanded on the part of Mr. Evana. Thus, with a necessary condensed report of the day's proceedings, we terminate our account of this interesting event. The poll will commeiice this morning at eight o'clock.

REWARDS AKD PUNISHMENTS OP PRIVATE SOLDIERS -Two soldiers of the 99th Regiment have been tried and convicted of the heinous oifence of making away with their ammunition in shooting at the Emperor.of .Russia, whom they had drawn on the barrack table with chalk. The men were spontaneously supplying a great want in the service, ball practice, had there been more of ^roich need- ful exercise in -regular way they would not have used the Queen'|S stores of powder and ball, to the value of perhaps 4d. or 6d., without orders or permission. And what is the puni-hment awarded to this oflenc.e? To one of the delinquents, named Gttliahar, 162 days of hfird labour in the military prison, Fort Clarence; to the other! Gibson, days of hard labour in the same confinement The offence is one which it is difficult to consider gravely, but the punishment, so disproportionate, cannot be re- garded without indignation and disgust. Acts of the worst imfainy and of the mosf repugnant barbarity are visited every day with a less measuie of chastipemeiit than the boyish escapade of these poor fellows. And this ex- ample is presented at a time when the Queen wants sol- diers, and extraordinary bounties are offered to tempt men into the service, in which so slight a brpach of discipline as that of Gallahar and .Gibbon is punished with sm-h grievous, such crufl severity! Surely ths recruiting ser- geants will set forth this case in the 90th among the at- tractions to enlistment. Or will it better answer the pur- poses of the, Peace Association to placard walls with the sentence side by side with the proclamations inviting en- listment? Sergeant Kite's best eloquence would av^il little against this example. In the Crimea is seen tVe condition of the British soldier who does his duty he- roically amid all privations aud sufferings and, as a companion to this picture, so mournful yet so majestic in dignity, let there be exhibited the treatment of the British soldiers at home, chargeable with so petty a dereliction of duty as the expenditure of a few cartridges without orders, and in sport. Mark how the great merits of our soldiers are encouraged, and, on the other hand, ho* their small faults are dealt with Their bravery, their devotion, their endurance—those are thillgilMcepted and honoured in generalities of lip homage, while a petty transgression is thus solidly and rigorously punished.—Examiner. A French letter srvs :—" It has been stated that the Russians make use of lassoes to catch our soldiers. But they employ the rope in another manner also two strong Cossacks, holding one by each end, lie flat on the ground at a spot where the besiegers will have to pass in re- pulsing a sortie. As soon as they see French or English soldiers arrive in pursuit of the Russians, they raise the rope and cause them to fall. On these the Russians *hen make an offensive return, and the unfoutunate soldiers are sometimes killed or made prisoners. Such a tiick is fitter for savages than for disciplined soldiers ind it excites our contempt and indignation against tbose who make use of it. LORD CAMPBELL ON THE LAW or DiVORCE—HOPE v. AGUADO.—=-The action for crim. con. by Mr. Hope, the eminent banker, against the Count Aguado, a French- 1 11 0 man, was brought to a close on Wednesday last, when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, damages JMOO. In the course of his summing up Lord Campbell re- marked that it was a reproach on his jurisprudence that adultery was not regarded as a crime, but only an injury to be compensated by damages, He agreed in the opinion that adultery was a great crime; and ought to be treated as a crime, and not to bp made the subject of civil action. The present state of our laws upon this subject was looked uponjby fore g:ne)'s as a disgrace arid a reproach to us. He bad been obliged to confess that such was the state of bur law, and to blush for it. A person who now wished Ihe bprid of marriage to Be dis- solved was compelled in the first instance to Bring an action in a court of law, forDý a standing order of the House of .Lords no bill iba the dissolution of a marriage was allowed to pass until an action had been brought and damages recovered. He hoped, however, to live to see the day when this reproach to our law should be done away with, and the bond of marriage might be dissolved by a civil tribunal, without the interference of the Legislature. CRIM. CON.—BROUGH V. WOODIIATCH. —It will be recollected that seven months ago Mrs. Brough was charged with having murdered her six children at Eshcr; that she was tried for that crime, but was acquitted on the ground of insanity, arid was ordered to Be confined during Her Majesty's pleasure. A suit arising frorii the conduct of the wretched" woman, previous to her act of murder, was brought in the Court of Common PleSS on Wednesday. The plaintiff) George Brough, is the husband of this unfortunate woman, and he sued to re- cover damages upon the ground that his wife had been debauched by the defendant. Mr. Serjeant Shee was about to open the case for the plaintiff, when the Chief Justice interrupted, anil said that if defendant did not deny the adultery, it could not be the object of the trial to distress the feelings of the parties concerncd. These people were both in a humble station in life, and it was a pity some small sum Opuld not be taken as damages by consent.. Mr. Janies, QA,, Counsel for the defendant, having assented to this coura", Mr. Serjeant Shee ex- pressed his willingness to abide by such an issue, and the assessment of damages was left to Mr. Serjeant Chan'nell. ■■. REINFORCEMENTS.—Six troops of the Household Bri- gade of Cavalry, coriiprising about 350 men, will leave for the East in the spring, with the additional contingent of cavalry. The present tfVounted men of the Household Cavalry number about 7'50 .men. The recruiting for the cavalry in general is going forward most actively, and by March next it is expected that upwards of 1,300 men will be added to the cavalry force of the service. It is stated that two new cavalry regiments will be added to the light division, to be dqnominated tne 18th and 19th Light Dragoons. The f/llowing is the cavalry standard now acted upon — Heavy Cavalry-Men and lads not below.5 ft. 5; in., nor above 5 ft. 9 in. in height,'and not exceeding 2-5 years of age. — Light Cavalry — MVri and lads not below 5 ft. in., nor above o ft. 9 in. in height and not exceeding 25 years M age.

Mr. Lowe, an,d Mr. Miles. ,Mr. Roe- buck ,would also move-that it Be an instruction, .to the Committee-on the state of the Army before ,Sebastopol to limit itsinqiiiries in. the first part of the resolutions (namely, thd condition of the army in the Crimea) to the past physical condition of the same. Mr. Henry Baillie gave notice that, on the nomination of the Select Committee .on the Army before Sebastopol, he would move that it be an instruction to the Committee to in- quire whether the expedition to the Crimea, at so late a period of the year, was undertaken in consequence of direct orders issued by the Government, and whether it received, the sanction and approval of the Allied Generals who commanded the expedition. We understand that on Sunday and Monday some members, of the Government had interviews and cor- respondence with Mr. Roebuck, with the view of in- ducing the hon. gentleman to abandon his purpose of proposing the committee of inquiry into the affairs of the Crimea, of which he had given notice for Thursday, The result, we hear, is a compromise between the Ministry and the member for Sheffield; and, if we are correctly informed, the nature of that compr. mise is thts,—that the Ministers will not oppose the appointment of the committee, provided Mr. Roebuck allows them to name seven against his eight members. The memher for Sheffield has, we are told, assented to the proposal. All, therefore, will depend upon the composition of the com- mittee but we must confess that we do not expect a full, fearless, and searching inquiry from any committee which may be nominated by Ministers.—Morning .A..f- vert her. MR.F. PEEL AND THE WAR OFFICE.—Friday's Times has the following —We are informed that the excuse for the appointment of Mr. Frederick Peel to the war depart- ment is, that according to the statue of Anne, only two Under-Secretaries can sit in the House of Commons, and that therefore the choice of the Cabinet lay between Mr. Frederick Peel and Mr. Fitzroy, Such is the excuse for an appointment acknowledged to be inefficient and un- popular. Now for the reply. Mr. Fitzroy,it is noto- rious, has long been desirous of retiring from office he has within the last few days been sworn of the Privy Council, the object; it is understood, of his legitimate imbition. Where, then, would have been the difficulty in accepting his resignation, and appointing in his stead a memberofthe other house, whocouldmostappropriately represent the Home-offiee in the Peers, while his Chief, Nr. Sidney Herbert, was in the Commons ? However remiss the late premier might have been in looking after the interests of the country, he appears to have been singularly careful of those of his own family. A vacancy having occurred some weeks ago in the Rectory of St. Olave's, Southward, which is in the gift of the Crown, by the death of the non-resident Incumbent, the parish petitioned the Earl of Aberdeen on behalf of the Curate who had done the duty, and endeared himself to his flock. In reply the Noble Earl expressed bis .regret that it was not in his power to appoint the Clergyman so recommended. -As his Lordship, at the time, held the seals of office ^nly till his successor should be ap- pointed, the parishioners were not a little surprised to find that, his inability to comply with their wishes arose not from a delicacy on the part of an outgoing Minister as to the disposal of official patronage, but from his want of delicacy in exercising that patronage at such a mo- ment in favour of he Honourablo and Reverend Arthur Gascoyne Douglas, whose only claim to this piece of preferment is his relationship to his Uncle, the Earl of Aberdeen Is it for such services that the Noble Earl's breast was graced with the Order of the Garter ? —John Bull. MAJORITIES WIIICR HAVE CHANGED MINISTRIES SINCE 1841.—Melbourne Ministry (1851) outvoted on the Ad- dress (Revisal of Corn-laws) by 91-360 to 269. Peel Ministry (1841) outvoted on Irish Coercion Bill by 72—292 to 219. Russell Ministry (1852) outvoted on "Local" Militia Bill by 11— 136 to 125. Derby Minis- try outvoted on Budget by 19-305 to 286. Aberdeen Ministry (1855) out voted on the state of the army by 147—3.05 £ 0 148. COMMERCE AND FINANCES OF RUSSIA.—Some elabo- rate tables have just been published by the statiscal de-I partment of the Board ,of Trade, conveying all the latest information obtained regarding the commerce and finances, of Russia. From these it appears, that in 1855 the public debt of the empire, domestic a ndfofeign, was £ 63,185,308. In the same year the revenue from Customs and Excise duties was £4,924,608. As regards the general(rj3vemie, the amount is not given for a later period than ,1&49, when exclusive of Poland and Finland, it was £ 24,794,735, of which £ 6,275,458 was from direct taxes, £ 7,745,110 from indirect taxes, and £ 1,774,167 from the brandy monoply. Under the head of shipping, tho tables show that the total of vessels entered at Russian ports in 1852 was 8,615, of an aggregate burden of 1,570,654 tons, more than half of which were to the ports in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff. The total clearances were 8,497 vessels, of 1,520,160 tons. Of this trade fully a fourth was carried on in British ships, Turkish, Greek, Dutch, Swedish, Sardinian, Austrian, Prussian, and Danish coming next in order. The most important of any jingle port is Odessa, where the arrivals in 1853 amounted to 589,1/8 tons, while the value of the cargoes shipped, and whigh consisted principally 4. grain, was 5,627,500, jar about 1M per cent., above IS5). j: THE CONVENTION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE .UNITED STATna.—Sr. PETERSBURG;, FEB. 6.-The convention Between Russia and the United States, defiuinig the rights of neutrals in war, signed at Washington on the 20th (22d) July, 1854, is now published, and runs as follows-—"Art. 1. The high contracting parties recog- 1 nise as lasting and unalterable the following principles That free ships make free goods --that is, that goods and merchandise the property of the citizens or subjects of one of the belligerents are free from capture and confis- cation innehtral ships, contraband of war alone excepted. p That neutrai property on board an enemy's ship is not ptibject to confi cation, if lawful merchandise. They Bind themselves to apply these principles to the trade and navigation of all states and nations who may be willing on their parts to acknowledge and recognise the same as lasting and unalterable. Art. 2. The high contracting 11 n Powers reserve to themselves tho coming to a nearer understanding as to the application and extension .of the principles contained in Art, 1, but declare expressly that they form the Basis, of the principles governing their actions in regard to the rights of neutrals in war..Art. 3. It is agreed that all natipns who may, by a formal declaration, express their readiness to acknowledge these principles shall be at liberty to join in this treaty, and enjoy all the rights and privileges resulting from it. Art. 4. This present convention shall be ratified by the Emperor of all the Russias and the President of the United States of America and the ratifications exchanged at Washington within ten months from this date, or sooner if possible. ROUTINE is å3 rampant as ever at Balaklava. A sur- geon requiring a stove to keep off the choleraic symptoms which were appearing in the hospital ship over which he had charge, could not get one from the stpre without going through a series of forms, which would have taken him away days from his important duties to get through. Another medical man, requiring the simple medicines necessary to control diarrhcea and dysentry—the twin angels of death now depopulating our camp—was told there were none, and none could this officer get for the three or four hundred men under Ins charged Each soldier costs this country at least one hundred pounds to land him a trained effective man in the Crimea, yet these men we are losing by hundreds a week for the want of a little opium—a little rice, &c. Here no diffi- 3ulty of transport is to be pleaded. The poor wretched [ fellows requiring aid at the very door of the stores, but none can they get! We are told by the despatches that the troops are clothed, but private letters utterly deny it. How can we reconcile such conflicting testimony ? We fancy that the truth must be that the supplies are issued irregularly—to some regiments and not to others, as without doubt the testimony of soldiers themselves differ on this point.-Bristol Mirror. A FOREIGN LEGION BY CovrmcT.—A French com- pany have offered to raise in France a legion for the ser- vice of the English Government. The company engages to siipiply from 12,000 to 25,000 men within the shortest possible time, half the number that may be agreed upon to be ready in fifteen days at th:) utmost. In order to effect tHat undertaking it requires that it shall be permitted to recruit in France, or in other neutral countries, men who have been liberated from military service and on whom otherwise their Governments have no special claim. It is stated that the English Government is disposed to entertain the propositions of the company, and only awaits, to enter on its execution, the assent of the French Government. The company offers, moreover, to equip the men if desired. It is affirmed thati the French Gov- ernment will not offer any objection in tha event of a de- mand being made to it officially. A prospectus has been in circulation in Paris for a pleasure trip to Sebastopol at the .commencement of the spring season..The travellers are to start from Paris and proceed to Marseilles, thence t,o Constantinople, next to the Crimea, afterwards to Egypt, and finally home by Algeria. The vessel fixed, ori for the tour to the East is the Isabella steam pleasure yacht, under the neutral colours ofTuacany. The trip is to last three month, and oSily ten passengers are to be taken. Poi'isii INDEPENDENCE.—A meeting has been held in Bath, to tak'e into consideration the necessity of the res- toration of Poland, as an independent State, in order to. restrain the aggressive action of Russia on Europe, and to obtain a material guarantee for the durability of peaqe. Among tho ardent politicians who signed the requisition to the Mayor that hie would eall such a meeting was Mr. Walter Savage Landor.. A GOOD HOTEl. SPECULATION.—The new Great Western Hotel at Paddington has turned out one of the few gilded speculations which have beeri of late. This SplendM hostelrie cost, we believe, over £ 50,000 build- ing, and £ 7,9(6) for furniture. The money yas raised iri shares of £ 500 each, and the directors finding the public and the shareholders of the line little disposed to take any risk in it, determined to take all the shares themselves, sparing some to their friends. The first half year has j'nst terminated, and 5 per cent. for that half year, that i8, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, with a very large bonus, is aboijt being divided amongst the lucky proprietors and it is said that they might have, with equal ease, divided8 at the rate of 12 per cent, per iannum, with a bonus. For a few years tho hotel p\vs a rent oflOOOa-year to the Railway Company, but thatrent, in about five years' time, will be raised to £ 2500. The establishment is carried on in a yerv enterprising manner, all the servants being well paid, to the cook, who has a salary of C200 a year. Striking an average it ii, after all, an equitable arrangement in many instances, and we would barely suggest the justice of the direc- tors throwing the 10 per cent, hotel into the 3 per rent, line, as some little help to the unfoi tun ito sh,;re hold- org. The hotel sh ires are now selling in the market at | nearly double their original price.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.
THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. (I'rom A8: Globe of Yesterday). Beyond the resignatipn. of Mr. Gladstone, Sir James Graham, and Mr. Sidney Herbert, nothing has occurred respecting the Ministerial arrangements. The statement of some of our contemporaries, that Lord Canning and Mr. Cardwell had also tendered their rasignations, is not correct.. FUNDS CLOSE. The announcement this, morning (Feb. 22) of a fresh Ministerial crisis, though producing temporary heaviness, ultimately caused a tone of confidence in the English Market, and as it was not doubted that Lord Palmerston would succeed in constructing the Cobinet, on a popular 'Basis. Cqnsul.advances i per. centr Railways opened weakly, But recovered slightly with Funds closing steady..c-s HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. On the order of the day being read, Lord Palmcrston said, I have to state to the House that three members of her Majesty's Government have intimated their intention to resign the offices they have hitherto held, I mean the Chancellor of the Rxchequer, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and the Secretary of the Colonial Department. (Hear, hear.) Those officers hold their respective offices at present only until their successors are ap- pointed. Under these circumstances, I trust that the llosee will not think I am unduly presfing upon their indulgence if I propose not to enter upon any public business this evening, except those orders to which there is no objection. To-morrow my right.honourable friends will be in their plapes, and will state to the House the grounds upon which they have come to the decision which I have now to announce. I therefore move that the House at its rising adjourn till to-morrow. (Hear.) Mr. Disraeli said he had heard this announcement with regret, considering 11111.,£ only ten days had elapsed since the Government had been formed, but he did not think, that in absence of the right hon. gentlemen whose conduct was impugned it would be proper for him to make any remarks. lie only wished the noble lord to understand that he expressed the general feeling of the House and the country, that they had heard this official announcement, that already the Cabinet so recently formed had been suddenly broken up, with deep regret and some consternation, (Hear.) The orders of the day were then disposed of, and most of them being postponed, the House adjourned at 5.25 p.in.

WHO INVENTED THE LANCASTER GUN ?—From a,cor- respondence in the New York Journal of Commerce we hear that the principle of the Lancaster Gun is claimed by Mr. Alexander Jones, of that city, as .having been proppsed by him to the American Government in 1842. He describes his plan to consist in having spheroidal balls fitting spheroidal-bored cannon, the long axis making half a ,turti,in; the length of the barrel. The balls would rescmBle an orange, somewhat flattened at'thejpoles, and he proposed to project it with its short axis foremost, about which it was to'rotate. It will be observed that this plan evirtces a complete, misconception of the. laws of projectiles, for the surface of resistance presented to the air by an oblate spheroid travelling broadside fore- most would be considerably larger than that of a sphere of the same weight, and also much greater than it would presented if it travelled edgeways. Notwithstanding this error, Mr. Jones proves that he suggested oval bores before £ hey were adopted in this country; but he does not appear to have made a cannon upon his principles, and we think it probable that Mr. Lancaster never heard of them. AN AMERICAN pisnor ON THE WAR.—At a meeting of the Church Society in Montreal, the Right Reverend Horatio Potter, Provisional Bishop of New York, said it was someting to set foot on the soil of Her Gracious Majesty the Queen. (Cheers.) God bless her He had prayed for her on the land and on the sea, and hoped to do so again. She had his sympathy, his deep sympathy, in the noble efforts she was making at the present time to subdue a barbarous Power who had attempted to crush a feeble natiop and overwhelm Europ.e, Much had been said about American feeling and American sentiment, in regard to the war. But he .would tpll.his lordship, that if the people of Canada wished to understand the public sentiment of the country, they must not sparclv for it jn the newspapers. (Loud cheers.) They must go to the educated men, to the clergy of the Church, to those who studied Shakspeare, and Milton, and Hooker, and they would find they were heart and soul with England in the struggle, and daily offered up their prayers for her success. (Cheers.) A WELSH ATTORNEY AT BJVY.—Last week a Liver- pool attorney professionally attended the County Court at Conway. He was opposed by' one of the legal gen-r tlemcn of.. the Principality, who,, like the Philadelphia lawyers, are distinguished for-their shrewdness and legal acumen., In the course of the proceedings, the Welsh Blackstpnc, in, support^f his argutnont, .cited a law case from the Boplb, obscrv;ng ,t^at the plaintiff in the authority quoted was a captain in the militia corpse. The corpse was alluded to s-veial times, until at length the Liverpool wrangler of the law rose, and coolly asked whether the regiment 10 which the captain spoken of belonged was a skeleton regiment or an embodied one ? The Welshman referred to the case, and after cogitating over it for Several minittes, unsuspectingly replied, "The pook does not say." His Honour was convulsed with laughter, and .the Welsh auditory laughed fr )m sym- pathy, but they did not comprehend the joke.—Liverpool Journal. LANGUAGE OF LAWYERS —If a man, according to la'ftr. yould give another an orange instead of saying, 1 give that orange," which one would think would be what is called in legal phraseplegy, • an absolute con- veyance of all right and title thefmo," the phrase would run thus :—" I give you all and singular my estate and interest, right, title, and claim, and advantage of and in that orange, with all its rind, skin, juice, pulp, and pips, and all right and advantage, therein, with full power to bite, cut, suck, or otherwise eat the same, or give thp same away, as fully apd effectually ,a?. 1 the said A. B. am now entitled to bite, cut, suck, or otherwise eat the same orange, or give the same away, wjth or without its rind, akin, juice, pulp and pips, anything heretofore or hereafter, or in any other deed or deeds, instrument or instruments of what nature or kind soever, to the con- trary in any wise notwithstanding with much to the same effect. "TAKiKG THE SHILLING."—About eleven o'clock on Friday Evening, a private in the 1st Royal Dragoons, named Payne, enlisted two lads, named William Kent, and John Clark, whom he found in a house in Trongate and of course presented each of them with a customary shilling. Next morning when the ladj were undergoing medical inspection, Payrie learned, to his surprise and mortification, that they had previously enlisted with a corporal of the 14 regiment of infantary, on Friday After- noon. He immediately had them taken into custody, and at the central police court yesterday they were brought up, charged with fraudulently obtaining the sum of money mentioned in the manner described. They were both. convicted, and senfenced respectively to thirty days' imprisonment.—iV, B. Mail. STATISTICS OF ST. VALENTINE.—A morning contempo- rary says :—" The total number of letters posted during St. Valentine's Day and stamped at London district office, amounted to the unprecedented number of 240,900, or or a Quarter 9f a million within one hundred, and this in the London District' alone. Besides these there were about 1 0,000' bye' letters and 100,000 at least destined for the provinces and places beyond the sea, which were transferred to Inland Department. The grand total, therefore, reached 350,000. It is estimated that of this number, at least 140,000 were sacrificed to the fame of St. Valentine, as about 100,000 is now the February daily average. Taking the number posted on Valentine's Day and stamped at the Post-office during the day, as forwarded to the reporter by the authorities, at 240,909 letters, we gather therefrom the following amusing statistical facts :—In the making of them, 502 reams of of p iper would be used Up; the cost of tho valentines, averaging the price of each -one of the 140,000 at 4d., would be £ 2,335< 6s. 8d.thc. postage of the 240,000 would realize £ 1,09U.3s. 4,; the height to which a pile would reach, supposing the number was laid one upon the other at the rate af a dozen to the eight of an inch, would be 209 feet 2 inches, or 7 feet 2 inches high- er than the Monument at Fish-street-hill; while the whole of them would extend in a line, if opened, allow- ing 18 inches width to each, to a distance of 86 j miles and 243 yards, nearly as far as from London to Dover by the South-Eastern lin« of railway." DEFENCE OF THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL.—It is the in- tention of government to construct another large battery on the Cheshire side of the Mersey immediately, on the site of the old powder magazines at Liscard. this, with the old Rock Battery at New Brighton, and the new one north of the Huskission Dock, on the Liverpool side, will make three defensible batteries and an application has also'been made'to the Liverpool Dock Committee for sites for three additional batteries ori the Lancashire side of the river.—Standard. BIBLES FOR ITALY —The Rev. Mr. Carus Wilson, writing from Nice, on the subject of 6,000 Bibles issued in Piedmont in 1852-3, by the Bible Society, observes that the want of an agent of the Bible Society for Italy 1$more and more- felt, and there is more than work enough for one in Piedmont and the ports of the Medi- terranean. A DIVIDED FAMILY.—A Gentleman much respected in Bristol, and a partner of one of the principal banks in that city, has two nephews in Sebastopol serving in the, Russian army, and two nephews outside Sebastopsl scr-, ving in the French army. They are sons of two sisters, married one to a Russian and the other to a French gen- tleman. -Both Russians and French have also cousins in the English army. Other metropolitan policc are likely, it is said, to be implicated before the case is concluded in the guilt of A"Vrtj;, who was brought up a sixth time on Thursday. Another charge against the prisoner was then gone into, of stealing the goods of a man whom he arrested for felony, named O'Shea. A bag full of wearing apparel had been discovered in King's house, which was now sworn fjo as belonging to O'Shea. Another remand was ordered. Ip consequence nf this ease, orders have been issued from Scotland-yard forbidding any policeman, except detectives properly so called, to be employed in private clothes. ORDINATION OF A DISSENTING PREACHER.—Amongst the Dcacom ordnincd at the late ordination lOr ÙP Hishe.p' of Manchester, was the Rav. W. Winlaw, formerlyThde- jondent preacher t Middleton, Manchester.

RLAIRS GOUT AND RHEUMATIC FILLS. THIS preparation is one of the benefits which the science of modern chemistry has conferred upon ma kind for during the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for. the Gout was considered a romance; but now the efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that public opinion proclaims BLAIR'S PILLS as one of the most important dis- coveries of the present age; and in testimony of its efficacy, John J. Giles, Esq., of Frimlev, near Bagshot, says :— Having suffered much from acute Rheumatism, I was introduced to try your Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my humble testimony to their efficacy." Mr. Win. Courtney, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says :—" Having suffsred much from Gout, I had resort to Blair's Pills, and within two hours I was quite easy. Fhe use of these Pill ought really to be known all over the world." Mr. W. Taylor, Bookseller, Warminster, Wilts, writes Wm. Penny, of Cortrn, Wilts, was afflicted with Rheumatism, to such an extent that he could not more hand or foot; he was recom- mended by a gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and aceordingly pro- cured a box at Mr. Taylor's, from which he derived so muph benefit, that he sent for another, which effected a completehure." Garrett Foster Gill, Esq., 157, New Bond-street, London, writes :— Whenever feel any symptoms of Gout approaching, I have instant recourse to thi3 medicine, which to me is no valua- ble that, were it n )t thot the days of magic have ceased, I should certain lj- attribute the relief I obtciri to that cause, -Moree vcr, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree" suffered; but on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's Pills is towards its Thpse Pills require neither attention nor confinement, and are certain. to ijrevent the disease attacking any vital part; and in consequence of the great and increasing demand for this useful Medicine, the Proprietor has obtained permission from Her Ma- jest's Commissioners of Stamps ta have the name and address of "THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London," impressed upon the Government Stamp, affixed to each Box of the Genu ne Medicine. -Sold. by all Vendors of Medicine.
