thia dreadful situation , the poor girl remained until three o ' clock in the afternoon of the 9 th , when she was discovered by a shepherd "who happened to pass that way , and whose attention was attracted to the spot by the eight of the woman ' s bonnet above the snow . He immediately released her from her prison , -where she had been confined in utter solitude , and without nourishment of any kind , for three-and-forty hours . She was afterwards taken home to Mr . Freeman ' s farm , about a mile distant . Her limbs were considerably benumbed and frostbitten , but , proper restoratives having been administered to her , she gradually recovered , and in a very few days was able to perform her customary duties as usual .

Miscellaneo Us. The Court.—The Queen And...
MISCELLANEO US . The Court . —The Queen and Royal family left Oshorne , and returned to Buckingham Palace , on Tuesday . —The Queen held a levee on Wednesday afternoon at St . James ' s Palace . The West Indies . —The commercial storm which recently did so much damage in America and England has reached Demerara , and several houses have stopped . Judicial Separation . —Sir Cresswell Cresswell , in the Court for Divorce aud Matrimonial Causes yesterday , pronounced the judicial separation of Lieutenant Deane and his wife , on the ground of adultery committed by the husband . 80 / . a year are awarded to the wife as alimony . The PrNE and Harbison Company ¦ will give a series of five grand vocal and instrumental concerts at Drurylane Theatre in Passion Week . Miss Pyne is a host in herself , and she will be strongly supported . Benefit Perfoemance . —A concert will be given at Sadler ' s Wells next Saturday for the benefit of a literary gentleman long afflicted with serious illness . Some of the most eminent instrumentalists and vocalists of the day will perform , and Mr . Albert Smith will also appear . Examination < m M . Bernard . —The sixth and final examination of M- Bernard took place at Bow-street last Saturday . Evidence was received with respect to Mr . Thomas Allsop ( the real Allsop this time , not Orsini ) having ordered the shells to be made by Mr . Joseph Taylor , of Birmingham . The connexion between Allsop and Bernard was shown by a letter of the former to the latter , in which the writer spoke of Louis Napoleon aa an " abominable miscreant , " an " unconvicted felon , " and a " most wretched caitiff ; " asserted that he must be killed ; expressed a wish to double Mr . Landor'a reward " to the man who should perform an act of justice" towards him ; and observed that "he ( Louis Napoleon ) is not likely to give much more trouble , even if he should escape the retribution he so richly merits . " Mr . Bodkin having made some observations on the whole case , Mr . Sleigh protested against the charge being altered in the course of the investigation from misdemeanour to murder . The prisoner was then committed for trial on that charge , as well as on the charge of conspiracy . —During the whole of the concluding day's investigation the court was open as usual , notwithstanding Mr . Jardine ' s threat on the preceding Thursday . The magistrate , however , expressed a hope that there would be no ebullitions of feeling , and all passed off quietly . The French Ambassador . —It is believed that M . de Persigny , the French Ambassador here , has resigned his post , in consequence of recent circumstances . Mr . John Timbs . —The public will learn with regret that Mr . John Timbs , for so many years in the editorial department of the Illustrated London News , has ceased to be connected with it . —Publishers 1 Circular . Mr . Walter Savage Landor . has written to tho Times to deny that he ever offered a sum of money for the assassination of Louis Napoleon , or that he countenances any assassination whatever . He looks on assassination as the basest of crimes , and on tyrannicide as the sublimest of virtues . But ho considers that a foreigner is not entitled to kill the monarch of any country . He adds ;— " Tho Emperor Napoleon is tho most legitimate sovran in the universe , having been chosen by a greater number of suffrages than ever was one before ; whereas tho wretched and infamous Government which he overthrew annulled those which itself had recently called forth and consecrated . It was not ho who planned and executed the invasion of tho Roman States , the sister liopublic , coming by stealth in tho garb of amity , and perpetrating assussination a hundredfold more extensive than the Parisian . No , it was not ho ; it was thoso small , restless , wriggling creatures , which showed their bends out of thoir burrows in tho crevices of the old Republic . It was politicians liko Lamartine and Changarnier—firat-rato in chatter , aecondratein llteraturerthird-rato-in-publig conlidonco . —Those people had abjured all ambition , all encroachments , all interference with tho territory or government of other nations ; yet attornpted to wrest Savoy from Sardinia . So far am I from desiring tho overthrow of Napoleon , I should regret tho loss to Europe of tho most energetic and sagacious potentate that ever governed any portion of it , excepting tho great Protector and tho greatjStadtholder . To England tho loss would be peculiarly doplorable , since wo may rely on him , and on him only , for tho continuance ) of peace . "

Leader Office , Saturday , March 20 th . LAST NIGHT'S PARLIAMENT . HOUSE OF LORDS . NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND . In answer to the Marquis of Clanricarde , the Earl of Derby said nothing would be done to imperil the present system of education in Ireland . The Government had come to no decision on the subject , and no step would be taken without the previous consent of Parliament . The India Loan Bill was read a third time , and passed ; and the House adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . ASSIMILATION OF OUR COLONIAL LAWS . In answer to Mr . Horsfall , Lord Stanley said that , however desirable it might be , he did not think it would be practicable to establish a uniform system of laws throughout our colonial possessions . Such a course would create dissatisfaction in the colonies . THE CAPTURE OF DELHI . Mr . Kinnaird asked the Secretary for War whether it was in contemplation to issue medals to commemorate the capture of Delhi to all those engaged in that mem orable siege . —General Peel said it was in contemplation to issue such medals .
EAST INDIA ARMY REGULATIONS . Mr . ' Fagan called the attention of the Secretary of the Board of Control to the army regulation made by the Governor-General in India in Council in 1855 , which requires that the children of soldiers over four years of age should be sent to the regimental schools , in order to entitle such soldiers to draw for each child subsistence money of five shillings per month . He also asked whether any alterations had been made in the regulations on behalf of Roman Catholic soldiers . —Mr . H . Baillie said that , so far as he could learn , no alterations had been made in the Indian regulation referred to , which is identical with that of the English army . He thought the regulation in question answered the purposes the hon . member had in view . — -Mr . Maguirb said the regulation did not give freedom of action to the private soldier . — The subject then dropped .
COMMISSIONS IX THE ARMY . Mr . BagweLl brought before the House the subject of certain parties professing to obtain commissions in the army without purchase or examination , by raising a certain number of men for her Majesty ' s service . A stop ought to be put to these transactions , by preventing parties getting commissions below the regulation charges , and without examination . Should the Government not give a satisfactory answer , he would at the proper time move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the subject of the appointment to commissions without examination . —Colonel Knox denounced the system as scandalous . —General Codbington thought that Mr . Bagwell ought first to have inquired if the agents acted
with the authority of Government . —General Peel admitted that the principle of granting commissions without examination is bad ; but when the circular was issued—viz ., the 1 st of September , 1857—it was necessary to obtain as many men as possible . The circular answered its purpose . In 1855 , only 33 , 000 men were recruited in the course of the year $ but , in the six months since the issue of the circular , 36 , 000 men had been raised . A great many had applied , and had received commissions . Their names were entered on a list as they applied , and no one had obtained a commission through an agent . He had no objection to an inquiry on the subject ; but the system is now at an end , as tho pressure for men is not so great . THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN PUBLIN .
In reply to the O'Donoghoe , Lord Naas said that , as regards the lato disturbances in Dublin , tho Government would introduce a continuance bill , if they did not prefer a permanent measure . An assemblage of persons took place in Dublin last Saturday , only a few of whom were students . Ho could not say that the riot was of a serious character , and he was happy to state that the active measures taken by tho Government had preserved he poace of the city . Tho oxcitomont was passing away , and tranquillity again prevailed in Dublin . The orders of tho day wore then disposed of , and the House adjourned at twenty minutes past six .

The Malmesbury And Walewski Correspondnc...
THE MALMESBURY AND WALEWSKI CORRESPONDNCE . France has intended to pick a quarrel ¦ with England at the earliest opportunity ; she lias desisted now only becauseJ ; lie opportunity is not so favourable as she supposed . "We will examine the correspondence , and see if this is too harsh a construction . On the first night of the session Mr . Disraeli announced , with something like triumph , that an answer had been received from the Trench Government in answer to the despatch of Lord Malmesbtjrt , and assured the House that "those painful misconceptions which unhappily for a time subsisted between the Governments of the two countries have been entirely terminated , in a spirit which has been both friendly and honourable , and in a manner which , I believe , will be as satisfactory to the feelings , as I am sure it will be conducive to the interest and happiness , of both countries . "
Leaving the question of interest , let ua see what real cause for satisfaction we can find in the closing despatch of the French Minister . Count Walewsici's expressions of the Imperial desire to maintain the English alliance are quite of course ; whatever lengths he had been determined to go in the opposite direction , those formal expressions would have been pretty much the same . All his
expressions of concern at the * misconstructions' that have been put upon his former despatch have been followed by the iteration and reiteration of the passages which led to the * misconceptions , ' and even in the Count's last lucubration , aa Mr . Disbaem would cull it , we find that in spirit lie does not abate a jot of the toue of demand and menace with which he roused our indignation a month ago . " The Emperor , M . lo Comto , " wrote Count Walewaki to Count do Poraigny , " has never intended to demand the support of foreign Governments to increase hia personal security . A more elevated sentiment , an interest . grefttor 4 nJuamey , e 3 , Jinyo _ gu ^ tenance of the good relations existing with the neighbouring States . " And thou he drops tho correspondence with expressions aa much like menace aa the phraaea of courtesy can bo : — " As tho intentions of tho Emperor have been rnlaapprehended , his Majesty ' s Govornmon * will abstain from continuing a discussion which , by being prolonged , might prujuditiO tho dignity and tho good understanding
