CO P E N H A G E N , A PIIIL 11.—The whole line of roadfrom St. Petersburg to Helsingfor.s is black withevery kind of vehicle transporting an endless milita-ry materiel. Cannons, estiettes , hay waggons, pow-der-tumbrils, &c, pass each other perpetuall y. Thefirst Russian regiment which marched from St.Petersburg on its way to Finland was the King ofPrussia 's grenadier regiment.

A plan is under consideration in St Petersburg forcompelling the whole population of Finland toremove into the interior of Russia. At this moment15,000 men nre in Gatnala Karlcby, 14,000 in Ny-karleby, 25,000 in and neat Vnssa , and so on.

STATE OF ODESSA.From Odessa , of the 5:h, we learn that every

tiling there indicates care, anxiety, and apprehen-sion. Ships freighted with corn hive been compelledto unload again , as no more is any longer suffered toquit the port. Every one is a seller, hut there are nopurchasers of anything to he found. The garrison waskept regularly up to 30,000 men. Enormous quantitiesof corn and provisions were being daily sent off tothe army in the Dobrutscha. The Russian fleet wasly ing perdu, but in full force, at Scbastopol . Therival armies were still opposite each other at thewestern extremity of Trajan 's Wall , General Ludershaving 60,000 to 70,000 men , and the Turks upwardsof 100,000 ; but no battle had taken place up to thelast accounts. At Odessa the Russians, dreading ablockade, wore using every effort to get the stores ofcorn away from the port. All the English andFrench vessels had received notice to clear away assoon as possible, as there wr.s some fear of theircrews rising upon and mastering those of the Russianvessels in that port. There were about 300 Euro-ropean trading vessels in Odessa harbour, the ma-jorit y of which were English, French , Spanish, andSardinian craft.

The Spanish war steamer Pizarro had been lost ona reef of rocks off the east end of Cuba.

MIGRATION OF MORMONS .—The liaton Rouge Ad-vocate (United States) says :—The John Simmonds ,a three decker steamer, running to St. Louis, haspassed our landing, with about 800 emigrants onboard , all bound for the Mormon settlement atUtah. They are composed , we were told , nearlyexclusively of English and Welsh converts to theMormon religion and morality (or immorality) underthe guidance of one of the Latterday Saints, who hasbeen on a missionary tour to great Britain. Abouthalf, or more than half, the number were women ,mostly young and buxom-looking lasses. What weretheir views of spiritual matrimony we did not ascer-tain.

The tendency of the New York stock-market wasstill downward. The money market was active at 7per cent, for call loans, and 9 to 10 per cent, forfirst-class paper. Exchange on London , 108 to108:].

W A It I T E M SWe read in the New York Sunday Times of the

2d inst. the followin g bit of gossip :—" On dit,that the Czar has written to the Princess Mathilde ,(Jerome Bonaparte 's daug hter,) who is the wife ofthe Russian Prince Demidoft", urging her to persuadeher cousin , Louis Napoleon , not to enter into a necd-lesss war ; also, that Prince Demidotf, one of theweal thiest men in Russia , has placed all his propertynt the disposal of the Czar, as a contribution towardsthe expenses of the war. It happens that the Prin-cess Mathilde is at daggers drawn with her husband ,fro m whom she has long baen separated. She isabout the last person to use her influence , as his wife,in favor of Russia. She was born in May, 1820,was married in 1811, and bears as bad a characterfor virtue as Grisi or Rachel. It is said that LetitiaBonaparte, wife of Thomas Wyse, now British am-bassador to Greece, is about making the UnitedStales her future resting place. She is fifty yearsof age, and has not lived with her husban d for thelast twenty years."

A vessel is advertised in the New York papers toleave that port in May, on an excursion to Constanti-nople, touching at other places on their way in theMediterrane an . „ , , „ ,> •

PARIS. ArniL 19.—The Duke of Cambridgo leftthis yesterday evening for Vienna and Constanti-nople.

Favourable news with regard to the attitude ofPrussia, caused a rise in the funds to-day.

The three per cents, closed at 03f. 90c. and thefour-and-a-half per cents, at 91 f. for the end of themonth.

The change in the route of the Duke of Cambrid geand its supposed political motives, and the arrange-ments for his passing through Vienna , where he will ,no doubt , have an interview with the Emperor ofAustria and the Prince of Prussia , who are at pro-sent at Vienna , had a favourable elfect on theFrench funds yesterday.

CONSTANTINOPLE , April 10.A misunderstanding between Lord Rtdcliffi : and

Baron Bruck , the Austrian minister , is said to havearisen. Kostendjie has been set on fire by tho re-tiring irregular troops. There have been somealarming movements at Volo, and the Austriansloop Carolina has been called on to interfere. ThePorte taxes all cargoes from the Danube and Odessa.Urgent necessity compels this measure. BaronBruck protests against it.

RUSSIA.The Journal de. St. PclersburgU of the 12th states

that the essential tenor of the secret correspondencebetween the English and Russian governments wascommunicated to the sovereigns of Austria andPrussia. That official journal declares that theresponsibility of the war rests with the Westernpowers.

Advices from Riga of the 13th instant state thatthe recurrence of sharp frosts at night prevented thebreaking up of the ice in the neighbourhood of thetown , althoug h in the upper parts of the river it hadbeen disappearing for some days. The bay was fullof ice, and Vessels caught by it were in a rather dan-gerous position ; one of them, a Dutchman with bal-last, had just been wrecked.

RISSIAN PROCLA MATION.Prince Gortschakoff addressed a proclamation to

tho inhabitants on entering the Dobrudscha , whichbegins as follows :—" We do not come amongst youas'iMiemies , we only march against the barbarousTurks, to force them by our power to treat you andyour Christian brethren in a manner more conform-able to humanity.

THE WAR.The Times points out some causes, partly military,

partl y political , which at present delay decisivewarlike oparationa. The war, it says, which beganbv a bold but uieless stroke of aggression , seemsdestined to assums, at a very early period , on thepart of Russia, a defensive, rather than an offensivecharacter.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.(From (he. Tins City Article of yesterday .)

The tone of tli2 advices from Vi. nna regardingthe distrust with which the intentions of the Austriangovernment should still be received , tended in _ thecourse of the afternoon to diminish the previousanimation in the money market. At St. Petersburg,nr, the . 11 tli , tallow and other produce continued tobe purchased for transmission" to the frontier andport of Mcmcl. At O:k's?a , on the 7th, business isstated to have been totall y suspended.

T'IP London markets for Russian produce to-daywore rather lower, it being thought the regulationsof the government with regard to 'the trade of Bri-tish subjects and neutrals, will allow some quantityto come forward.

The shipments of specie by the Peninsular andOriental steamer Ri pon ninount "to £98,700, ofwhich £09,085 is in gold, including aho it £50,000for the military expenditure of Malta ; while£29,615 is in silver for Singapore, Hong-Kong, Can-ton , and Shanghai.

Pending the deliver^ of the last AuRtraR in arri-

vals, a small sum of gold again was taken from thehank of England to-day for transmission to Paris.

Cftfe Sto's inniiThe delay in transporting the expeditionary forces

to their destination is a subject of much complaint ,and occupies much attention in the papers receivedto-day. The Times Paris correspondent says :—

The accounts we receive from Constantinop le con-tinue to express the greatest anxiety and impatiencefor the arrival of the allied forces at the theatre ofthe war. Indeed , I am informed that the recentdespatches from General Baraqnay d'Hilliers him-self are not less pressing, particularl y since the pats-ing of the Danube by the Russians, and their occu-pation of the Dobrudscha. The General , it is said ,declares that if the allied governments wish to avoidthe occurrence of another Sinope on land the armiesand their commanders must arrive with all possiblespeed.

ST. PB THH SBURO .—A letter from St. Petersburg ofApril 3, says :—" An extraordinary convocation wasaddressed to all the high functionaries and membersof the di plomatic corps, to be present at the readingof the bulletin announcing the passage of the Da-nube. The ceremony showed only a • ery moderatejoy. The absence of the Minister of Austria, con-voked like the rest of his colleagues, produced amarked sensation. "

Military men in St. Petersburg are divided intheir opinions as to whether the fortifications ofCronstadt will be able to resist the heavy artillery ofthe ships. Four of the forts are formed of enor-mous granite cubes, the fifth is of logs. The great-test danger for Cronstadt is that these forts may betaken one after the other, as each of them will beexposed to the unite d fire of a great number of ves-sels. After ail , the greatest security of the place isthe narrowness of the channel , which just at the en-trance to the port , behind Fort Menschikot!', will becommanded by two enormous floating batteries ,formed of old shi ps of the line. It must depend onthe state of the ice whether it will bo possibles to s'j iulthe two divisions of the fleet which are still at Cron-sladt to Swcaborg (Helsingfors), which is consideredimpregnable. _

The governments of Englan d and France haveexchanged copies of an ' offensive and defensivetreaty. The friends and the enemies of either of theWestern powers are henceforth the friends and theenemies of the other, and the forces of either areavailable , in every part of the world , for the pro-tection of the territory, the trade, and the subjectsof the other.

COPENHA OF.N , MONDAY .—It was the Albion , andnot the Amphion, that got aground, and the ship isnow afloat.

The Gran d Duke Constantine has personall y as-sumed the command of the Russian fleet at Helsing-fors. He hoisted his flag on the 1 st instant.

A despatch from Vienna , dated Tuesday, statesthat the important frontier town of Toktichami , inWallachia , which has been fortified , has been de-stroyed by fire. All the Russian stor.s, provisions,arms, clothing, and ammunition—all the militaryhospitals have fallen a prey to the flames. The Rus-sians occupy Kostendjie.

A second despatch dated Tuesday night , statesthe Russians h.ive positive ly entered Servia ; and onthe 15th the Cossacks crossed thn Danube, nt Orso-va—a Turkish fortress on one of the Danubianislands, and occup ied Wartsurova. The Turks bom-barded the place, but it was not known whether aregular passage of the Danube was intended at thatspot .

The total allied force at Galli poli , on the 8th ,instant was five thousand.

Advice;) from Constantinop le of the tith instant in-form us that three more English corn-laden vesselshad arrived there from Odessa, each having six Rus-sian guards on board , whose attempts to prevent theiravailing themselves of a favourable opportunity tocscapa from that port were happily frustrated. Theeighteen Russian guards were safely lodged at Con-stantinop le as prisoners of war.

The Moniteur of Wednesday ryorning states thatthe Austrian Ambassador at Paris has left for Vienna ,to be present at the marriage of the Emperor. liewill be absent ten days.

For ' the ptat'fevr publications the Mail bas been

amusing itself, and making a great f u t s about its cir-

culatiou. In all new hands this is perfectly legiti-

mate, and even allowable, and would not certainlyhave been noticed by us hnd it not put false state-ments before the public. For instance, the Mailquotes the late parliamentary stamp return, and indoing so it has the unfairness of placing in jux tapositionita two publications in the week against theo«eof the News. This is deceptious, ai every one willsee. On this princi ple a daily paper, say the Times,might ns well set itself up in circulation against theMail,

But we will tell the reader what the Mail did notput forward. It did not state, as it had a right to do,that whilst the News INCREA SK O in circulation 2,500copies within the last year, the Mail did not increaseone sinqle copy.

In proof of this statement we have only to appealto the parliamentary return , which appeared in thelast number of the Mail.

We admit that the Mail has a respectable circula-tion ; but that circulation is principally amongstthose known as the "respectables." The News, onthe contrary, is circulated chiefly amongst the mer-cantile, farming, and industrious classes. What isthe result? Wh y this, that our readers are con-stantl y handing about the News, whilst the Mail 'saristocratic friends usually lay it aside of ten withou traiding it. Ask the newsvendcrs which paper ismost generall y rend ?—and they will tell you , asthev often told us—tho News.

There is another reason which, we need hardlysay, operates against the Mail 's circulation amongstthe people generall y—namely, its recent bigoted ,offensive, and intolerant tone. Until it exorcisesthis demon it never can expect to move outside itsown limited circle of acquaintances. Why if everyman in this county of the Mail-tram's presortt stamp,were on his list, his circulation could not yet be con-sidered very extensive.

When we consider that the Mail has been esta-blished thirty-one years and the News but xi.r, wethink we have, were we so inclined , a far betterreason to boast than our Conservative coteinporary .It is nn undisputed fact that the News, in the face ofmany difficulties , has advanced more on its own re-sources in its short career than other journals havedone even when backed by large private subscri p-tions , and in more prosperous times.

We should not now make these explanations hadnot the Mail gone out of its way in putting forward8tatemeiii .i which , to a casual observer , might at firstsight appear as correct. But we shall not againrefer to the subject , no matter what measure the Mtt iLman adopts. Yes, we will leave him alone in his glory,

" Rearing his blushing honorsThick uiioii him."

JOHN M ITCIIEL'S PROJECTIn our last publication we gave in extenso John

Mitchel's address to the Irishmen resident in America ,which Borne of the New York papars said had re-ference to an intended invasion of Canada. In th enumber of Mr. Mitchel's paper received this week ,there is a letter, addressed " to th? survivors of theIrish in Ireland under forty years of age," which istar more explicit as to his intentions than the pre-vious one. Vt's subj oin the substantive portion :

" When British newsp apers and organs of Britishopinion everywhere, even in America , are using allefforts to puff " John Bull ," and g;-t up the enthusi-asm of free men in his favor, it is expedient that theIrish should bear constantly in mind the true natureof this Bull , and the real princi ples and motive ofthe war he is now engag ing in , or pretend ing to en-gage in.

It might surprise us indeed , to find American news-papers praising and flattering Eng land , for Englandis the sole enemy America has, nr ever had. Ameri-cans sneni to forget how grand and august a cham p ionof liberty that power was, which paid Indians forthe scnlps of their fathers and mothers, and raisednegroes in insurrection against their masters ; whenher shi ps of war landed parties to burn peacefu l vil-l.igos, and Admirals , biasing in the decorations ofGrand Cross and Bath and Garter, led on their gal-lant tars to the plunder of hen-roosts on the Chesa-peake.

" Yes : America may forget, for she scourged theCrossed and Gartered pirates : but we, my country -men , cannot ailbrd to forget what they have done tous and to our country just yl. America drives aprosperous trade with England now, and naturall ylooks on her wealth y customers with some indul gence ;but Ireland's trade with her is death and ruin.

" Enough. It is not without a definite object Iask a hearing, that I may remind you of these thingsnow. I desire to impress upon all my countrymen ,firs t, that it is base and suicidal to enter the Britisharmy. And next, that the present position of thecivilizod world opens, or is likel y to open a chancefor expatriated Irishmen , to help at least in doingj ustice and execution upon their enemy : so that menin Irelan d of a fi ghting ago and temper , may findmore congenial work near home than fighting withRussians on the Danube.

" Rumours are current amongst gossiping news-papers here in New York , pointing to soms definiteand organized plan now actually on foot in Americafor giving practical expression to this yearning andpassionate longing for a fair and feasible enterprisein the cause of freedom and honor. They even indi-cate the precise desijrn—an invasion of Canada byIrishmen from the United States. Of course ourcountrymen will know how much confidence is to beplaced in all this. And they will ask no more ntpresent than to be assured that certain Irishmen inNew York , men who have the nearest and dearest in-terest in the cause, have resolved , if a fair occasionrise, to avail themselves of it , and to ask a sufficientnumber of you to help them.

" You will not be in a position to help, if you arein Turkey, wearing the rod coats of British soldiei.i.

" It is right to mention that those who cherish thiadesign know what the laws of the United States arein this mutter—that they are bound bv duty and af-fection to obey those laws—and that they contem-plate nothing which will violate them , or in an)' waycompromise the peaceful relations of this countrywith other powers." The possible occasions that may arise are numer-

ous. Some of them make the heart bound to thinkof. Spain , Cuba, and the Black Warrior—Napoleon ,and the secret hope of vengeance for St. Helenathat he cherishes in his occult soul. Another Frenchrevolution—and a Provisional Government with nomouthin g Lamartine at its head—possibilities areencll"ss. and time and chance wait upon all men.

Or ¦what monument could duly record the virtues and raeritsof this holypriest, who lived but for God, and whose every thoughtand project were directed to the promotion of the divineglory and the salvation of souls.

Sr- .Tcroma, in writing to Eliodoms, endeavours to con-sole that afflicted prelate on the death of his nephew, theholy Nepotianm ; but in the act of doing so, he candidlyconfesses that he is unable to common:1, his feelings, or toprevent the emotion which overwhelmed him fromventing itself in streams of toars: El invito et ripiignunli per genas lachrymal f luunt And yot , St. Jeromewas a mauof extraordinary fortitude wl a great saint ,whilst wn are only weak poor creatures.

I observo with pleasure that the monument to beerected to the illustrious deceased is to be a school : anidea equal ly worth y of him , and of Catholic Waterford.It would be still more characteristic of its object , if achapel or oratory of our Blessed Lady were attached toit, in which the youth who attend the school mi ghtehaunt the litanies before her saci-O'l image every even-ing.

TO 'HIE EDITOR 01'' THE WATERFORD NEWS.SIR — Could you inform the public at what tiraa will

there be a vessel on ihe Liverpool stati H to accommodatethe wants of the traders of this town and the public iageneral ? At present there is business quite enough fortwo SJCII vessels as ihe one now on the station , as shecannot bring oue-hal t' of the g o Is fro;n Liverpool.Trade is ba-1 enough in Wnterford , without adding to itsilnllut 'ss by leaving goods OH the quays of Liverpool forwant of vessels to tarry them. What are the directorsof the Watcrford aud Limpriek and NV aterford and Kil-kenny railroads d/ng ? W.iy do they not put a ves;e[on this Station that will add to the prospsrity of theirlines ? Look to the number of cmigrauts in our streetsjhi s morning. I am sure not one-half of them can be ac-commodated in the boat this d iy. This state of things utoo bad. Opposition is the life of trade, and [ trust wewill have it before long, ro stimulate trade and iacilitotobusiness.

Waterford , April 21st, 1854. A TRADER.

L I T E R A T U R I".Tour.XAt OF I NDUSTRIAL 1'nor.KE*)' — { Edited by

W. K. Su llivan , Esq. Dublin : W. D Ke lly , Graf ton.street) —We have received tlie last number of tliis Irishnational journal. Itopj us with a mo-it instructive article,I'Ut too Ion;? for our .spac, o:i t'm '' ai-tifi -'hl fceua litiu iof full.1' On this jubje 'j t a French writer h.u sai l, wjexpect to be able in future to sow the waters with fij h ojtho husbandm an sows tiie land with corn . Very true ,indeed , for the writer of the article before us, it may UOIYbe considered us au established fact , that , by the newmethod of pisciculture, many million * of youug fi-ihcaabe raised iu a short tinw , with little trouble and wi'hsmall cost. On the mines of Ireland and on public libra-ries there are also to be found iu this Juurn il instruotivapapers.

" THE MODERS MTSTERV " ; OR , " TABLK MOVING ."—( London : J . F. S/uzw, Sunlhnmpton.rnw, Pnter Nosier-row).—This is a curious little publication , but very re-spectably got out. As t '.-ontains so.ua spicy articles oathe '" modern mystery,"' or " table inoviuj;," wo are sureit will be looked to with acertain decree of iaUrest.

THE CIRCUSHas been very well attended during the week. OnMonday evening accommodation cuuld not be foundfor the numbers thatpres nted themselves at the doorsof the circus. Thu performances were very attractive,aud on many occasions elicited great applause. The" Arabian horse " is a noble animal , the perfectionof good training. The pigmy ponies, too, are veryremarkable for their activity and docility. On thewhole the circus has been a great treat in evokingthe risibility of tho more serious portion of eurpopulation.

THE M ARIONETTES .—On Monday and last even-ing these astonishing " wooden wonders" werebroug ht before respectable and del ighted audiencesat the theatre royal , Henry-street. We were notprepared for the rich ire.it the entertainment afford-ed ; nor could it be well conceived , without oculardemonstration , that inanimate puppets, in georgeoinarray, would have given such geneVal satisfaction.By the application of machinery they are made togo throug h dramatic performances with extraordi-nary facility, the speaking being fro m behind thescenes by accomplished theatricals, while the perso-nation of the varions characters, as regards dressand attitude , give the lilli putian group a truly life-like appearance on the stage. The ni«ger melodiesat the close were admirabl y given , and kept the au-ditory in roars of laughter. The scene decorationsare excellent—the orcliestre effective—and we adviseall who have not as yet seen the exhibition to visitthe theatre, as the engagement is limited to threanights.—Limerick Chronicle, April 5.

N EW M ODE OF PUBLICITY .—A poor law guardiancomplained at yesterday 's board, that be was notreported in the News. We wish to inform him thatwe give considerably more of the Waterford boardthan the Cork or Belfast papers, published threetimes a week, do of theirs. The probability is thatwe may insert less of the board in future. The gen-tleman referred to thinks it would be as well to postup advertisements on the walls of the city, or get abell-man to cry them, as to publish them in the pub-lic papers ; of course the same respectable mediumof publicity ought to answer for nit motions andspeeches.

B3P" We have been favored with a. copy of theabstracts of the New Ross union ; they are verycreditable to him, particularly as he, like the derklof the Waterford , Kiltnacthomas, ond other unions,put the ratepayers to no expense for assistant clerk* 1

WATERFORD AND DUNMORE .RAILWAY .—This com-pany is now finally dissolved. The preliminary ex-pen.' e i incurred by the provisional committee amoun tto £236 10s., of which sum the Waterford and Li-merick railway company, the Waterford qnd Tra-more railway company, and Wm. Dargan, Rsq., haveagreed to pay one-fourth each, leaving one-fourth tobe made up by the Waterford shareholders, whichamounts to 2s. Cd. per share.

S ' --" - AB5T The Trnmore railway carriages werS^on- P"on Sunday. The one guard which the compVla^ya*liberally provided , seemed to have a leetU too n^fehmuch work on his hands.

N EW ENGINE .—A new engine of great power ar-rived yesterday, from Fairbairns, of Manchester, tothe Tramore railway.

IBS ' The Messrs. Malcolmson, of Portlaw, have,we leatn , taken preference shares to the amount of£30,000 in the Waterford and Limerick railway.

THE A RMY .—The depot of the 89th regiraeot ar-rived in this garrison , under Major Graham, f t o t oFermoy, on Wednesday.

The depot of the 40th regiment, under MajorNeill, marched out on Thursday morning toLimerick. •

An obj ection was made to the raising of DoctorV.'aters 's salary from £15 to £'20 in consequence ofthe want of the usual notice of motion.

AI'OTIinCAKV—NO APPOINTMENT.The Clerk said lie had received four tenders for

the office of apothecary to the house, one of which—that of Doctor Barron—was late.

Mr. Gamble proposed, and Mr. K. Puwcr .secon-ded, that Dr. Barron 's tender be accepted.

Mr. Hudson supported the motion.Mr. Carroll—A tender for the office of watchman

\va.=, a short time ago, latu only 10 minutes, and youwould not take it.

Mr. Meag her—If you don 't a'jide by t)ip clerk'sndvortisement you might as well have no advertise-ment at all (hear).

Mayor—I s it not in accordance with the usagesof the board to reject a late tender ? You must,therefore , eilh-jr adopt the advertisement or repudi-ate it ?

Aldfrmiin Phelan said that this was a peculiarcase, a case in which a citizen and a ratepayershould have an opportunity of seeking the situation.

Mr. Kiol y—I move that the election be adjournedtill this day fortnight.

Mr . Dflahunty said that as Dr. Barron had sentcirculars to all the guardians, he (Mr. D.) lookedon them as tenders.

Three or four guardians said they got no circulars.For Reception of Tender —Me s •> . ll ilden , ICirl y,

ont> olsi' my reasons. Doctor Barrou is a citizen anda r:\tcpavtr.

Mr. Ilolden—It can be no trouble to the guardiansto come here to do their duty.

Mr. Poet—There is a party in this room who seemdetermined to p ut in one of the candidates (no).

Mr. Delahunty—On this day week the board re-solved to postpone a motion, a printed notice of whichhe held in his hand. He would vote for Mr. Kielv 'sa nendment.

Mr. Kitl y said it was bad taste in Mr. Poet toimpute improper motives to guardians ; but he (Mr.Poet) would throw back the imputation , by sayingthat there was a party in the house determined tohf rp out one of the candidates (hear, hear, and muchlaii«htfr. )

namely, Drs Barron and Fair ; Dr. Barron is theonl y local one.

On the suggestion of Dr. T. L. Mackesy the ad-wrtisement for new tenders was ordered to be in-terteil in the Medical Press.

Mr. E. Power complained of the manner in whichthe master had given clothes to those who hadlrft the house, and said he would have a notice toLriiig forward on the subject on this day fortnight.

Mr. O'Keill y asked was it the duty of the masterU\ go and buy clothes for these people ? and recom-mended him not to do it in future.

AD VERTI StN O.Mr. Gamble brought forward his motion to res-

cind Mr. Roberta 's resolution , namely, that the ad-viTtUiM iiLMit s be inserted in one local paper onl y.

Mr. Hoberts and Mr. Cadogan made effective.'peeches on the subject , when

Mi. Struugman said that Indian meal which hadbeen tendered to the union on last board day at 32sfid per sack, had been since oft gred to the FunningInstitute at 30s. He would move that the wholequestion of contracts and advertising be referred toa committee.

Mr. Richardson seconded the motion.Mr. Cadogan said it was well known that many of

the contractors of the Waterford union had beenlosing for some time past.

Mr. Gamble withdrew his motion , when the fol-lowing committee were named to meet on Monday :the three chairmen , Mr. Mi-agher , Mr. Peet , Mr.Cadogan , Mr. Hudson , Mr. Strangman.

THE MILK.Mr. Woods moved that skimmed milk in place of

new milk , be used for the hall diet.Mr. Hamilton .said that milk was the only animal

food the paupers received. They merely got foodenoug h to keep bod y and soul together. The pau-pers must be treated' like human beings (hear, hear).If the guardians went into the house and saw thechildren at supper , he was sure they would be anx-ious to give them even more than they have at pre-sent (hear , hear).

Mr. Woods said he did not want to make anycurtailment.

This motion was ordered to be bundled up withthe last , to be laid before the said committee , towhich is to he appended—Messrs. Hally , Power,Gamble , S. Phelan , Woods, Carrigan , R. Carroll.

Tlie elR-cieot staff of stewards, and of those important officers,the cook*, is under tho man:igeraDiiUif .Mr. Lewis, whoseexperience is of many years' standing, as he coii!immcc<lhis career in the old steam-hi p Great Western, and hasnlways shown him elf unsurpassed in his department.The bar arrangements are superi ntended by Mr. Bciket,wbo has already made two voyages. In the engine-roomeverything is under the charge of the head-engineer,Mr. M'Lell.in , nnd is in the best poaaibleonler. Enginennd boilers seem ns if they h:id only just been put up.

On looking nloft we see a full-rigged sailing shi p, nndWere it not for tho funnels we should forget altogetherthat wo were on board a steamer. Largo .as are iho loweryards, tlir stiffness of the ({rent Britain U such that theonly thing to be lamented is thnt they aro not larger,ftnd we learn with pleasure that the upper yards havebeen increased, and other sfiils have been added.

With the exception a few tons for the use of tho cooks,the Great Britain is coaled entirely with anthracite , as theexperience of tho last voyage fully prove') its superiority.Although it had bi-cn previously tried on short voyag.ss ,it was i;-ft for tlie Gre.it Britain to demonstrate its ad-vantages on lone; tmes ; nnd wo may venture to say, thattho anthracite proprietors of South Wales feel themselvesunder great obli gation to Cnpt. Matthew *, Mr M'Lallan ,ftnj tho owners of this ship, for the pract ical evidenceWhich has been given of the benefits of this coal, whenproperly applied, for all steam purposes.

The '2Dth ins tint is the day appointed for the GreatBritain's departure, when we doubt not our quays andlanding stflges will be again crowded. Short as herpassage was la-it time, ten days are taken off for thepresent one, as she is expected to make the voyage infifty-five days ; while, like an express-train, she hasaccommodation for all classes, and, like it , each class iskept separate in their own department.

It is now we believe, pretty generally known that thoGreat Britain is no longer to be tho only steamer of the" Kagle" lino; or, rather, we bel ieve we should say, theOnly steamer managed by Messrs. Gibbs, Bright & Co.These gentlemen, having satisfied thoirjislves with reguard to the most effectual nud most rapid means ofcommunication with Australia, have, we understand,formed a, company ti ru'i a regular line bctiveen thisp-irt and our gold-bearing colonies, under a royal charter,with limited liability.

Connected with tins arrangement anil other mattersof iiuportnuce. the distinguished and much esteemedcommander of the Great Britain will , for this voyage,remain at home, placing his shi p under the comman't ofMr. John Gray, the late chief-officer, of whom CaptainMatthews speaks in tho highest terms, nnd wlioso quali-fications are, in every respect , indisputable , he havingbeen lor many years captain in the sauio employ.— L.Albion.

M ILITARY AFFRAY.—An affray occurred in CorkOn Friday night betwern some officers of the 39threg iment and a number of civilians , which resultedin rather serious consequences to some of the partiescngnged. It-appeare d from the statements of someof the parties that those officers , after leaving a disre-putable house in North-street, pursued so ne personainto Fish-street whom they alleged had thrownstones at them. They followed them into the houseof a young man named William Murray, where arow of a very serious characte r ensued. Stickswere freel y used on both sides, and in a few mi-nutes the greater portion of tlie combatants werecovered with blood. One of the officers had hisoyo very nearly, if not completely knocked out,another lies dangerousl y wounded in the head ; andas may be supposed their opponents did not escapewithout considerable punishment. The names of theparties engaged on both sides were taken , and the}' weresummoned to the police court on Saturday, when theinvestigation was adjourned to Tuesday, on whichday the first witness examined was Mrs. Sarah Butler.She deposed that she lived in Fish-street, and rcmo:n-bered about ten o'clock on Good Friday ni ght , whenshe was empty ing slops in the street, she saw four orfive persons, apparently gentlemen , coming out of aliotlse opposite to her 's ; they came towards her, andone of them th rew himself against her in a most dis-respectful manner ; she told him that they wanted nosuch blackguarding there, and then one of the othersstruck her and knocked her from one s'de of the doorto the other ; she did not know any of the parties,but her son knew one of them well , Mr. Bullen , whowas a frequent visitor in the street ; she did notknow what happened after she was struck she wasso confused ; was caught by the head by one of them ,but could not say who he was. The bench decided ontaking Informations against Mr. Tliackwell , Mr.Bullen , and Mr. Jones, to appear for trial before therecorder. Bail was taken for each of the defendants'—himself in £50 nnd two sureties in £'25 each.Thackwpll and Bullen are military men.

Lord John Russell is of Norinnnorigin, nnd before the conquest of England his familypossessed the lordship of Rosel. The cure of this com-mune had last year the happy idea to write to askLordJ.

FAT M EN'.—There is something cordial about a falman. Ererybody likes him, and he likes everybody.Your Ishmnelities arc in truth a bareboncd race ; alank Iribe they are, skeleton and bile. Food does afat man good , it clin-. s to him, i; fructifies on him ,he swells nobly out , and fill s a generous space in life.—He is a living, walking minister of gratitude to theearth , and the fullness thereof; an incarnate testimonyagainst the vanities of can ; a radiant manifestationof the wisdom of good humour. A fat man , there-fore, almost in virtue of being a fat man is, perse, apopular man, and commonly he deserves his popu-larity. In a crowded vehicle the fattest man willever ba the most ready to make room. Indeed , heseema to be half sorry for his size, lest it be in theway of others ; but others would not have him lessthan he is, for his humanity is usually commensuratewith his bulk. A fat man has abundance of richjuices. The hinges of his system are well oiled ; thesprings of his being are noiseless ; and so he goes onhis way rejoicing, in full contentment and placidity.A fat man feels his position solid in the world ; heknows tltat his being is cognizable ; he knows thathe has a marked place in the universe, and that heneed take no extra pains to advertise mankind thathe is among them ; he knows that he is in no dangerof being overlooked. Your thin man is uncertain ,and therefore he is uncasv. He may vanish an hourinto nothing ; already he.is almost a shadow, andhence it is that he uses such laborious efforts to con-vince you of his existence ; to persuade you that he i«actuall y something; that he is mure than a nonentity ;that he 13 a positive object as his corpulent fellow,creature. It does reall y take a deal of wrong to makeonu really hnte a fat man ; and if we are not always ascordial to a thin man as we should be, Christiancharity should take into account the force of prejudice¦which we have to overcome against his thinness. Afat man is nearest to that most perfect of figures, amathematical sphere ; a thin man to that most limitedof conceivable dimension , a simple line. A fat manis a being of harmonious volume, and holds relationsto the material universe in every direction ; a thinman has nothing but length ;. a thin man, in fact , isbut the continuation of a point.—Lectures of HenryGiles.

SIR CIIAIII.ES N APIER —A London weekly papet

gives the following curious portrait of Sir Chnrles

Napier : " A farmer-looking man with a fat fitc?>thick lips, and a tremendous nose covered with snuff ;large ears like the flaps of a saddle, and like ' UncleNed' in lyric history, with no wool to speak of on thetop of his head, although his phrenological develop-ments display an extensive surface where the woolought to grow ; the head placed on the body of astunted alderman, whose clothes appear to have beenpitchforked on his back , with one shirt collar up andthe other down, his waistcoat buttoned awry, and hisshirt front smeared with snuff— and you have theportrait of Sir Charles Napier. If there is a thirstfor further or more minute parti culars it may beadded that tte Admiral wears Blucher boots, andtakes snuff with three fingers. "

THE HAIR M ARKET.—The French hair market isTery remarkable. Its dialings extend to 200,000lb».weight of hair annually. There are wholesale firmsin Paris who send round agents in the spring tovarious country villages. These agents are providedwith ribbons, laces, haberdashery, &c, which theyexchange for the fine flowing tresses of the countrygirls. They sometimes give money for it. The lossof the hnir is not so much minded , as it is fashionablein France to wear pretty caps close to the head.

NAPOLEON'S Pnontncv ABOUT THE PRESENT WAR .—In speaking to Barry O'Meara , Napoleon 's doctorat St. Helens) , the great man said thus of Russia :" You arc in the flower of your age," said (ho Em-peror, " and may expect to live thirty-five yearslonger. I think that you will see the Russians willeither invade and take India , or enter Europe with400,000 Cossacks, and other inhabitant) of the de-serts, and 200,000 real Russians. Russia must citherfull or aggrandise herself, and it is natural to supposethat theTatter will take place. By invading othercountries she has two points to gain : an increase ofcivilisation and polish, by rubbing against otherpowers—the acquisition of money, nnd thi renderitii;friends to herself the inhabitants of tl.e desert with•whom some years back she was at war. • • • •What I say to you is confirmed by the history of ages,during which it has been invariably observed tha twhenever those barbarians have once got a taste ofthe south of Europe they always returned to attemptnew conquests and ravages, and have fin ally suc-ceeded in making themselves masters of the country."

• Seventy-five cents, per gal !' exclaimed Mrs.Partington, when Bhe went to America, on lookingover the prices current. ' Why, bless me, what isthe world coming to, when the gal is valued at st-yenty-five cents V The old lady pulled off herspectacles, threw down her paper, and went intoa brown study on the wan t of proper appreciation ofthe value of the femenine gender.

THE SULTAN'S SERAGLIO.The imperial residence, or new seraglio, may be

said to form a city within a city ; its walls are nearlythree miles in circuit , and contain t-velve gates. Thetot.»l number of persons residing within .it have beenestimated at from 6,000 to 7,000. It presents thefi.'ure of a triangle, of which two of the sides arewashed by the sea. Within this wall is an extensivecourt, wheie the annual caravan to Mecca assem-ble.*, in order that the Sultan and his harem may seeits departure.

Of the extent of the seraglio, or the imperial resi-dence of the Grand Signior, some notion may beformed, when we fiiid that 12,000 men were formerlyemployed in it. It occupies the finest point betweenthe Sea of Marmora nnd tha Straights of the lios-phorus nt the north side of the triangular city, theboundaries of which are a thick wall furnished withbattlements and flunked with towers. Within thewalls are several palaces nnd mosques, in the midstof the most beautiful gnrtL-n?, interspersed occa-sionally with the d.n-k foliage of the cypress. Thenumber of females in the hnrem is said to amount toabout eight hundrod. They ore divided into fiveclasses, and some of them have titles of honour, par-ticularl y t!iL> handsomest ol them. • They are guard-ed by black eunuchs, the cliicf of whom , or" Ki-lar A <rn , " is of great importance ; his leadingqualities to'fit him to gmrd the imperial harem areu.7l:nL>ss nnd deformity; he has great influence witht'.ie Sultan , and the nature of his duties give him thersuk of I'ashii witli three- tails; he is sty led " GrandMaster of the I;nperi:il House," or " the Palace ofFelicity. " Tni'ii comet the " peshkesh bashi," sur-veyor of the " bikshi-ih ," or presents, who receivesthose which the foreign ambassadors make to theSultan. The Sult;tn "s next confidant and adviser isthe " hntsnadar ," or private treasurer, who isgenerally chosen from amongst the class of slavesHS black and ugly as the " kislar a<r.a;" then comesthe " capi aga," who is the second great olficer ofthe serag lio to guard this mysterious portion of theSultan 's dominions ; he has under his command amost formidable cordon of black slaves. Anotherprivate officer of the Sulta'i is the " bash tcbo idar,"or principal valet de chambre ; then conies over the"scelitar," or sword-bearer , the " seir kiatib ," orprivate secretary, nnd hi3 •' bujuk emirahor ," or gen-tleman of the horse. .These persons have nlways theprivilege of being about the Sultan 's person , nndmay be considered as forming his private court.Tliev dispense his favours, und (ire the chosen organsof his munificence and despotism. The mutes arepages born deaf and dumb, and are employed in con-sequence of this infirmity, to wait upon the Sultanduring the dc!ib?ration of secret councils, to whichthe Sovereign calls his ministers into the interior ofthe seraglio.

'¦" Then , as his guard of Mutes ,On the great Sultan wait with eyes dejficl ,Or fixed on earth, no voice, no sound is heardWithin the wUe Sereil ; but all his hushed,Mute nnl uncovereJ, cowering low to earth."'

There is another class of officers called the " Bal-tagis, or wood cleavers" to the seraglio. These menare employed as guards to the imperial palace.Their chief has the title of " Bostangi Bashi, '' andaccompanies the Sultan everywhere. He is also thechief gardener, nnd has under his command the menwho work in the seragl'o garden. Should bv chancethe Sultan pass through them, accompanied* by anyof his female slaves, the bostangi throws himself flaton the ground to prevent his being discovered, sinceif one of the females should be seen by him , orderswould be immediatel y given for his being strangled.The authority of the " " bostang i bachi ," is supremeover all the other officers. lie regulates the interiorof the seraglio as grand purveyor, and his power isso extensive that great jealousy is entertained of himby all his rivals. The oflicera of the seraglio, al-though supported by the Sultan , hr.ve but little payto keep up their dignity, which tempts them to trafficin the government ofli'ocs, since they principally in-Huence the Sultan 's choice of the ministers, thepachas, and sometimes even of the mufti—and it iswell authenticated that foreign ambassadors havebought of them concessions from the Porte.

Beyond the hal l of the Divan, and within thethird court of the seraglio, are three chambers, ex-clusively occup ied by the pnges of the Sultan , wln>rcthey are brought up and educated for the service oftheir imperi al master. They learn to mount on horse-back , to shoot arrows , and oilier exercises, to qualifythem for the service of the Grand Signior, who issometimes present , and rewards the most dexterous.They hold their Sovereign in such veneration thatthey regard him as lord of tha world , and supremearbiter of every man 's good nnd evil destinies. Ontheir removal to the next chamber they learn how toshave, pair the nail*, fold turlia:i =, and other neces-sary requisites of Turkish education. In the follow-ing chamber there are about forty pages, all attiredin richly embroidered silks. These hold the princi-pal offices at court, and ore always about the personof the Sultan. They carry his sable cloak , the eweiand basin in which to make ablutions ; thoy hol dhis stirrup whorl he mounts on horseback. In addi-tion to the pnifes , lha Sultan has his master of thewardrobe ; tiie master of the pnliice ; the chief bar-ber j the turban kcrper ; tho secretary of lm pri-vates orders ; the comptroller of the househol d, &c,who are under the immediate eye of the Sovereign.

In the seraglio, near the hall of the divan , is theroyal treasury, consisting of four chambers filledwith fire aruin , robes, brocades, velvet, gold cloth,bridles and saddles covered with precious stones , andmos't of the costly effects presented to the Sultanby foreign ambassadors and pasha? of his emp ire.In the third chamber, the jeweb are deposited , andsome of the richest arms in the world, the scimitarsand pistols glittering with diamonds. The fourthchajmbrr may be properly culled the " Treasury,"since it generally contains a great number of chestsfiilijd with coin. These are secured by many locks,ana the door is sealed with the G rand Signior's signet,who keeps one of the keys, whilst the other is keptby the Grand Vizier. Before the door is opened itis strictl y examined , to see . tlwt the seal has not beenbroken. This generally takes place on the councildays, when the receipts are paid into the treasury,and the de.-Miids for the troops and other ser-vices are regularly answered. In all theirpayments the Turks observe the most rigid punc-tuality. Besides the public treasury there is theprivate store of the Grand Signior, which is lod gedin a subterranean vault, to which no one has accessbut himself and his pages of the treasury.

In addition to the interior officers of the seraglio,there is the gran d huntsman , who has under himm;iny hundred keepers ; the governor of the houndsand setting dogs, the governor of the grey-hounds, the mastitis, and the spaniels ; then thegrind falconer, whose officers carry a hawk upontheir right hand ; nnd the grand equery, who com-mands a great many officers , a prodigious number ofgrooms, and an immense stud of the finest horseswliieh Arabia can produce. When the Sultan travelsfro m one place to another , nnd orders are given forhis female slaves to be aer.t on to his " Kiosk" (ofwhich there are many on the banks of the Bosphorus),two troops of black eunuchs accompany them. Theyire conveyed by land, in close chariots, and signstire made at certain distances for people to uvoidmeeting them as much as possible—if by water theyare conveyed in boati enclosed on all sides with nar-ro;w grilled windows. The ladies are hooded and co-vtWl in such a manner as rather to resemble movingmummies than the fair portion of God's creation.The serag lio is called by the Turks " the faction ofthe interior ," the grand mover of which is at timesthe " C'nd'inc ," or mother of the Sultan ; but thisdepends on the character of the Grand Signior him-self—whether he will subject himself to her in-liiijrues.| The next officers to be noticed in the seraglio es-

tablishment of the Grand Signior arc, the " capidgisbiishis," of whom there are about five hundred,'fjheir employment consists princi pally in the secretmissions of the Sultan ; when he has occasion to exer-cise his despotic power by the disgrace oMhe strang-ling of any of his subjects, the " enpidgi bashi"being the chief executioner, and is alwnys supposedt-D he in attendance on the Sultan , to execute his in-stan t commands. To supply the wants of this im-mense establishmentof the seraglio, there arc no lessthan five hundred cooks emp loyed , called " skenys."They are distinguished by yellow conical bonnets.The TurkWi dishes consist principally of rice, theconsumption of which is enormous. _ Within theferog lio walls are some interesting remains of ancienttrchitecture, Amongst them arc those of the palaceof Marcian , and the church of St. Saviour. Theprincipal entrance is called " baba houmaijain," orthe imperial gate ; within it are two niches , whichare sometimes adorned with the heads of distinguish-ed delinquents.

S oneybatt:r, Arril 'Bth1, ISStWhy, then , I declare if 'tis a thing thiit it be

Oh , my shame ! how we'd shout at the counth ryjint lemnn that would1 close on the pair o' boots ortop-coat forgotten at' his house by some visithor,he 'd be afthcr havin ' a difference of opinion withover the dhrop o' dhritik the ni ght before, and whocut his stick in n. fit o' the sulks the next mornin '—so w'.iat can we say to the imperial conveyancer,and he bavin ', no doubt , chairs, nnd tables, anilkitchen-utensils enough of his own , to go thry in ' hishand at ftirnishiu ' by force ?

Wh y, there are men who'd make no bohes aboutcommittiti ' a decent murdher, would be ashamedto look »uch petty larceny in the face ! There'smore o' t!ic magpie than the easjie in such move-ments !

But my hand to you, Tlmtl y dear, hn 'll ketch i t;nnd more luck to him, the unconscionable vaga-bone, as the Misses herself enllud him this cvenin '.and she lay in ' down' her knittin ", and puttin ' up thespectacles to get an unreatlirained look at .the ceilin 'when I tnuld her the duty was to bo increased ontea, mid sugar, and soap.

I take kindl y to< my ould meandh(-r along theQuays this saluorious weather—the emigrants, themilithary , and the pigs keep 'em so lively ; and in-deed 'twasn 'tbad value Iast evenin ' to be list 'nin ' toa poor Tip 'rary boy givin 1 a short answer to a sort ofhalf-dealer, half-carpenther, that was 'disposin ' ofsiniill chests, and the like, to the lower class o' pas-sengers : I' " Will you buy a box?

"Will I what?" makesanswer the other, with a contemptuous yxpression o'face. " Buy a box to hould yer clothes ?" " Erra ,then , what would I do that for?" was the rep ly,"bavrin ' I wanted-to p* start naked ." | Wasn 't thata tid y way of intirhatinv the possession of a scantywardhrobe and silencin' a teazin' seller ?

I can understandvoluntterin ' on a " forlorn hope "—for^ there chancehas something to do with the matther , and there 'sglory and gain in the perspective ; but for youngmen brought out to a certain nnd shameful death , inthe hracin ' air and sunshine of a spring nioruin ', andwith friends and relatives to look upon tlieir last ago-nies, it must be a dark and dismal world to 'em, in-deed, when they change it for an unknown future socarelessly. |

| APPLICATIO NS FOIl ADMIS SION.Ellen Kiely applied for admission into the work-

house in consequence of her husband deserting her.Tha Chairman asked applicant (through an inter-

preter of Irish) would she prosecute her husband fordeserting her?

Applicant, after some hesitation, said she would not.Chairman— Tel l her she can't be admitted , as she

wilj not prosecute her husband.Mr. O'Brien (relieving officer) said he was informed

thej husband was not in England as stated to him byapplicant, but was employed about the ricinity of theplace. Rejected.

David Fitzgerald made application for admission.The relieving officer stated that the applicant lived

nt B.illinacourly for 1 j years, nt Ballycarogue 4 years,at Knockboy G month s, and at Dungarvan the lastweek , and that he made application to him for aprovisional ticket, which he could not give, thoughhe jwas very badl y circumstanced. He understoodtli.it the applicant was from Kilmauthomas union,and the doctor stated to him he was sick.

The medical officer having been called, stated tothe board that it would be well to admit the appli-cant for a fortnight, after which he would be fit for re-moval to the Kilmacthomas union. Admitted ac-cordingly.

.Walsh, a pensioner from the 95th regt., and fa-mily, were admitted , and ths clerk was ordered towrite to the paymaster of the district, to deduct theamount of their support.

There were three fine looking children admitted ,namely, William, John, and Maryanne Dunne, ofthe respective ages of 8, 4, and 2 years, whose pa-rents had emigrated to America , and deserted them.

:Mr. Giles broug ht under the notice of the boarda little boy, aged about eight or nine years, who tra-velled down from Cork to Fermoy, to see an aunt ofhis, and it appeared from his statement he was re-jected by the aunt. He was then obliged to walk toYinghal and to beg his way, and irom that he tra-velled to Dungarvan , where he was compelled to sellhis leather cap for Id. to buy some bread .

jMaster stated that he would keen the boy for afortnight and then give him some bread , and placehim under the care of the police at Kiely 's Cross,who would direct him to the next station .

j Mr. Giles—My boy, when you'go home to Cork becareful to attend to your school, and don 't associatewith rude wicked boys who may corrupt your moralsand be the means of bring ing you to ruin.

Board—Has the medical officer sugg?sted meansfor checking the further progress of the disease ?I Chairman—I was speaking to him on the subject,and he says if the disease increases he will suggestmeans by next board day.

j Lord Hunting don—I should think Capt. Hamil-ton 's report is a great slur on the character of ourmedical officer.

Board—My lord , there has been a great decreasein the number of our hospital patients since this time12 months. On the 14th of April '53, there were in

,hospital 255, and on the 13th inst. there were onlyJ8I3, showing a diminution of one hundred and seventyitwo. Report to be considered on next board day.I On the suggestion of Lord Hunting don , the headInurse was sent for, and that part of Capt. Hamilton 'sjreport relating to her was read in her presence. Shesaid that she was twelve years in the house, and hadalways paid her best attention to the cleanliness ofthe apartments. When the nurse had withdrawn ,

Lord Hunting don said that was tha second or thirdcharge made by Capt. Hamilton against her, and hethought she ought to be called on to resign.

Sir Nugent Humble suggested that the opinion ofthe medical officer should be had before calling forher resignation.

Dr. Battershy stated that he believed the nursedid her utmost in the discharge of her duty ; but shecould neitherread or write , and a person in her capa-city should be capable of both .

Chairman told the master to call on the nurse totender her resignation , and in the event of not doingso, the guardians would dismiss her.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADEDURING THE FAST WEEK.

( From the Mark Lane Ex-press.)There has not been much activity in the grain frnde

since our last ; still a fair consumptive business has beendone, and the tendency of prices has beeu rather to ad-vance than otherwise. The deliveries from the growershave been on the same scanty scale as for some timepast, and the arrivals from abroad have been moderate.By far the greatest part of the entire quantity of foreignwheat and flour in the kiDgdom is held at this port andLiverpool. At the last-named place wheat rose 2d to 3dper 701 bs., nnd flour* (id to lc per barrel and sack onTuesday. Liverpool i.a, however, still the lowest marketin tho kingdom.

The following re'urn of the quantities of Englishwheat sold at the towns Tvbich return the avpnges,during the first three months in 18-33 and '54, affords n.striking proof of tho deficieocy in the last crop. Thesales were, in

Jan. Feb. March.1853...532,'282 qrs. 34-J ,3JU qrs. SoS.St'G qr3.1834...2iiC,477 do. 250,061 do. 227 ,556 do.The last weekly return is 36,628 qrs. against 88,W

qrs. in the corresponding week of 18-">3. In comparingtl>e total quantities sold during the three mouths as statedabove, they will bo found to stand thus—1,236, 197 qr3.against 750,09 1 qrs. ; the falling off is therefore 486,403quarters.

The arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of Londonhave been scanty. Factors seem inclined to ask rathermore money than in the beginning of the week, and thoughthe demand was not sufficiently active to allow of nnyquotable advance being established, prices were certainlythe turn against the buyer. The supplj of foreign wheatha3 not been particularly large. The total quantity re-ported during the week ending Saturday evening is 11.615qrs. For picked lots Is. per qr. more was in some in-stances ma'io thun on Monday.

Quotations of town-made fliur have not varied ; thebikers have conducted their operations with great cau-tion ; but the firm tone of ihc wheat trada has renderedmillers indifferent about selling largely. Norfolk nndother country household flour haj been rather pre.ssing'.yoifererl ; still the prices insisted on have born relativelyhigher those at which American might have ben bought ,and there can be no doubt'(hut the latte r is greatly iuter-fei 'mg with the sule of the former. A fai r business wasdone in barrels on Wednesday , good qualities bringing3'Js. to 40A , and fine 41s. up to 4/ls.

'1 he receipts of home-grown btrley bave been small .Foreign barley has come rather sparingly to hand.

Tie arrivals of oats co.wtwise havu been trifling, andthe prevalence of easterly winds has prevented suppliesreaching us from Ireland. From abroad a few small cav-goes have renche I us ; but the tot-tl supply, includingforeign, has amounted to only 17 ,070 qiy. Thejargede.ileis Imviug lately had the opportunity of rci'leuishingthei r stocks, are in no immediate want : they have con-sequently kept out of the market, and the sales on Wed-nesday were in retail quantities to needy customers, whohad to pay the extreme rates of Mond.iy l;»st. _ TI IOII TIIthere cm be no roubt the loss of our u-mil Russian supplywill hereafter be seriously, felt, there seoms to be no in-clination to spcculite in this grain.

We hoard of no «al«M ofiiloTtini; cargoes of Indian corn.Large supplies of this articl e are expr-cte-l from America.

A GLANCE AT RUSSIA.( From the Tablet.)

Everyone knows tlmt tha.t people were indebted for theirkmwled^e of U'lHst to Greek priests or Misnnners fro;nBrawsiimn. The Saint Patrick of KusiU was a priestof tho L >wcr E npire. Now. the Patriarchate whioh fitpresent exi.stj in Kii3Sta K.IS introduced in the sixteenthcentury hy the Minister of Teo.lor—namely, Bwu Go<l-unov. I'rotn Peter the First to Catherine the Great civil-Isatiou was t'ue primary object. During one hundredyfar.s Russia sought to inoceulate its rp.»3je5 with the re-sult, and elevate them by the improvements of westernstvilisition. As it meantime mixed its :IC up with theworld of western politics, the Russian court , adopting thoserai-infidelity of European monarchies, strenuousl y la-boured to di ninish tho |>ower of the Church in order toswell the power of the auto:raey. Th «t terrible eveat. theFrench invasion of 1812, first arrested this profanepolicy. And as the Russian army under KutusofundBaron fie K«ll y, recoi led, bsforo Napoleon far into thelieartof the empire, the Siul of Ku*Via fell back upon thehistory and traditions of its ancient pietism -retreatedupon its altars.

In the formidable presence of danger that trreit Ras~sian nation was brought, like an ordinary individual , to asense of its own nothingness, t > religious recollection andpenance. Then that terribl e catastrophe which crushedand scattered the might of France in the frozen hein-t ofRussia permeated and Animate! the slu iali mass ofRmsiau nationality—its riiiniur ran through all classeslike an electric shock—it awaked the nation from its tor-por, and that dead sea of men was roused, roaring from itshibernation. The sentiment of* religion and the love ofcountry were exalted to a pi'ch of frenzy. The setni-ti:ir-barous swarms, who eyed in gaping wnnbar the life-less relics of the French army ilottiny the snows of thewilderness, feltprofound]y,aud thoroughly persuaded ihatthe finger of God was there. The poets of Russia, proud-ly rosponsive to tho national conviction, proclaimed thatthe Gad of the Russians had demolished the invaders, andtho country of the Czar was another Palestine, •' the holyland." Even the godless Machiavcls of tho court did notescape the epidemic of thi< boiling enthusiasm,and what isvery remarkable, the religious legislation, or the ordi-nances for the regulation of Ecclesiastical affairs , becamethenceforth (in their astute management), impregnatedwith a nobler and more Ecclesiastical tendency. The fer-vent, the fanatical character of public feelings in 181*2runs -warmly through the code of Russian law or svod ,completed and finished in 1822. Jn Bussi* n new closeof statesman has nrisen who declare it advisable forGovernment to avail itscl P of the fan.itic-iara and the patriot-ism of the humbler Russians to awaken a religious move-ment, which, possessing the force an I fervour oCacrmad ',might becomo as gram); independent, nud irresistible asthe colossal empire which it vivifies. Accordingly Uus-siau legislation with reference to the Qrrek Church isentirely the veverseof Sardinian legislation «i 'h refer-ence to the Piedmon'ese Ecclesiastics. It hop .'s to shutthe door against the entrance of i evolutio n by blendingpiety with patriotism — fusing nationality in ihf religionof Hie empire It Joes more-it seeks to supersede the in-diffart-nce nnd toleration of Catherine anil Peter's d.iyshy girding the Patriarch with the sword, by establishingan armed intolerance resembling that of ihe Cali phs.Accordingly it aims at retarding ami withering by theiion severity o( penal enactments the b'ooin and growth ofCatholicity.

The population is possessed of a dt-vouring spiri t offalse piety, which hrools in grim repose when tbe em-pire is at rest , but becomes restless and expansive whenKussia is disturbed. From the nature of the laws thepersuasion is impressed on the public mind that they area chosen anil privileged people, gifted with the exclusivepossession of the truth. Fanaticism fastens more intense-ly on the mind of the raassL-s. in as much as they havelittle or no communication, generally Bpeakiug, with ex-ternal nations.

THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT.—The mo3t recent il-lustration cf the law of settlement came before theguardians of the South Dublin Union on Thursdaylast. A letter was received from the poor law com-missioners respecting a pauper named Costello, hav-ing a claim for settlement on the the West LondonUnion , but who, in conformity with English poor lawpractice, had been illegal ly "transmitted to Ireland.Costello had resided in London for forty years, butwhen age arid decrepitude came over htm , he wasexpelled from London to make his way to the work-house of Castlerea, where he happened to be Tjorn !Poor Costello was sent back to his place of settle-ment after sustaining much hardship. This shock-ing case will not bo lost on the Irish members.—Freeman.

THE POl'E AN'O THE SULTA.VIn the course of his recent Encyclical letter to the

Catholic Armenians of the east , his Holiness Pius IX.says : " Thanks to tho clemency of the Emperor ofthe Turks, ths Catholic Armenians have acquiredliberty, which , with unity among themselves, shouldmake their religion flourish , and give it fresh vigor."and , further on , his Holiness states, " that throughthe medium of his brother Innocent, Archbishop ofSidon , sent in quality of Nuncio Extraordinary to theEmpsror of the Turks, ha had expressed to that So-vereig n his sentiments of friendship, and conveyedhis salutations to him." " Let us suppose," observesthe Univirs, in comj nonting on this passage, " thatthe Holy Father addressed an Encyclical letter tothe Catholic church of Poland and Russia, couldho hold in regard to the E:nperor Nicholas, thesame language which he employs in referring to thaE'.nncror of the Turks ? Could he say of him, thanksto his clemency, the Cath olics of his empire have ac-quired liberty, ' &c, &c. ?" T!ia question sufficient-ly answers itself; and where, indeed, could it babetter answered than in Rome, where so many vic-tims of the Czar 's cruelty ami intolerance—theVenerabl e Abbiss Makrena , for instance, and theRev. Dominican Father, whose pilgrimage to Jerusa-lem we lately referred to—still bear the blood-stainedtraces of the knout inflicted on them by his ex-ecutioners 1

N OBLE L ADIES COINS TO THE W AR.—Much inte-rest has been excited by the departure from Paris ofa sicred band of the "holy sisters of SL Vincent dePaul , to join the tronp3 in the East. Amongst themwere one or two of those ladies of the late court ofLouis Phili ppe, who in 1848 resolved to enter theorder as victims of atonement for the blood shed atthe Barriere de Fontainebleau. One of these.ladies,Mdlle. de it— , is still young hnd beautiful , and manyamongst the idle crowd assembled to witness the de.partin e of the little troop could remember when sheshone amongst the gayest and most brilliant of herfather's guests, a very star of grace and beauty, ad-mired and courted by the whole world of fashion-holding influence over the circle in which she movedby the power of her wit , as she now does by her holyexample. _

THE INVASION OF NUNNERIES.—On Tuesday last,a trul y important and influential meeting was heldm Limerick, for the purpose of adopting a j iettaoato parliament against the measures for the invasionof nunneries. The attendance wa3 very numerouiand respectable. The chair was filled by

^ Henry

Watson , Esq., mayor, and editor and proprietor ofthe Limerick Protestant paper. In his opening ta-dress, the chairman said— "I thought I flrould haroclosed a long life without being called upon to prfside at a meeting for the protection of the nuns—forthe protection of the Sisters of Mercy. For nearlyhalf a century I have a knowledge of the converttual establishments of this city, and I am glad to tathat there are no better regulated institutions.
