Paris.— Eighty thousand men, of the levy of one hun- 
dred and forty thousand of the year 1853, are called under 
arms. Another decree authorises the admission, without 
any duty, of tallow intended to bo re-exported after having 
been converted into stearic acid or candles. 
An American Privateer in the Channel.— Intel- 
ligence has been received by the Admiralty, that an 
American clipper, the Grapeshot, has captured a French 
merchant ship off the Land’s End. The Grapeshot cleared 
out of New York, on the 23rd of March, for St. Thomas's, 
with 1,500 packages on board, professedly of hardware, but 
really containing 500 muskets, and supposed to be bound to 
Finland, and failing debarkation, then for the Mediterranean. 
This will forcibly explain the story of a Russian frigate in 
the Channel. 
ATHENS, April 26. 
At Peta documents were found which entirely compromise 
the Greek government. 
TRIESTE, Thursday. 
The Anglo-French fleet has cannonaded the Russian bat-

BERLIN, May 1. 
The news is confirmed here, that a final attempt is being 
prepared at St. Petersburg for gaining over Prussia to the 
side of Russia. The bait is to be a treaty of commerce. The 
last made between the two countries, in 1826, was suffered 
to expire in 1836. 
MALTA. 
Her Majesty’s steamship Caradoc arrived on the 23rd 
ult. by 7 o’clock in Malta harbour. The disappointment of 
the public was great when it became known that his Royal 
Highness the Duke of Cambridge was not on board. In 
the Caradoc, with the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Raglan, 
arrived also Brigadier Lord de Ros; Lieutenant-Colonel 
Steel, Lieutenaut-Colonel Somerset ; Major Wellesley ; 
Captains Blackwood and Bradford, of the Grenadier Guards ; 
Rear-Admiral Boxer, C.B. ; and Lieutenant Boxer; and 
Mr. Barton. His Lordship having partuken of the hospi- 
tality of his Excellency, the Governor embarked in the

The Death, op Commodore the Marquis op 
Anglesey. — The death of the gallant Commodore of this 
Club was announced at Carnarvon at half past 5 o’clock on 
the evening of Suturday last (the day of its occurrence), and 
on the following morning, the Club Ensign appeared half- 
mast high on the Battery of the Club, where it was ordered 
to continue hoisted half-mast until after the funeral. Tho 
Gallant Marquis was endeared to the inhabitants of Carnar- 
von by numerous acts of courtesy and kindness, and was 
connected with the place by many ties and public offices. 
Ho was for a number of years Mayor of Carnarvon, until 
after the passing of the Municipal Corporation Act, which 
rendered tho offices oue of annual election, and held tip to the 
period of his docease the office of constable of Carnarvon Castle. 
Commodore of the Royal Welsh Yacht Club. Ranger of 
Snowdon, and Vice-Admiral of North Wales ami Carmarthen. 
The splendid baths (the recent re-opening of which, after a 
thorough repair took place on the 1st instant) attest the liberal 
manner in which the Noble Marquis came forward to meet 
the wants of the people. The public charities will have bul 
too much reason to feel his death, and the loss of the liberal 
annual contribution which he tnude to tho Royal Welsh Yacht 
Club, over and above the amount of the Club Subscription, 
will doubtless be felt by that institution. The monthly meet- 
ing of the club took place on Wednesday last, tho 3rd iust.. 
and but one feeliug of regret pervaded tho members. On the 
motion of tho Rear Commodore, seconded by Captain Irom- 
onger it wasresolved that minutegunsshouldbe fired from tho 
Clubhouse Battery on the day of t lie funeral. On the motion 
of Captain Iremonger, seconded by Mr. W. Griffith (acting 
for Mr. John Rowlands who was absent), Mr. Massie Jones 
of Mynydd y Nefod was duly elected a member of the Club. 
The subject of the restoration of the Towers of Forth yr am- 
or the Goldeu Gate, and their conversion into a Club house, 
was again postponed, tho plans not being complete. It is 
the intention of tho Club to adhere strictly to tho original 
design of the Towers, which are still easily definable. 
The members of the Waterford Club Hunt eutertained 
the Marquis of Waterford at dinner on Tuesday last, as a 
mark of their appreciation for his kiuduess and liberality, 
and as a suitable close to the hunting season. 
The Mullingar Steeplechase comes off on the 9th in»t.

in 1000 hours. 
Wirkswortii Cricket Club.— The members of this 
Club have had their first meeting lor this season, and plajed 
a match amongst themselves. The ground is in very good
