Colonel Erbhokt . — -A most interesting legal decision has jast been pronounced by the whole bench-of the ^ Supreme Court of the United States . It has established -definitively and unalterably the title--of . Colonel Fremont , the celebrated explorer , to the richest portion of the gold districts of Caiifomia ; known as the - ' * Mariposa Tract . " . The decision makes Mm * in the estimation of geologists , i bankers , and merchants , the : richest man in America . Attempt to Buow up a Manufactory . —On Tuesday nightj the manufactory of Messrs . Grookes , Roberts , - and Co . the Argus Works , Doctor ' s-nelds ? Sheffield , was
, the scene of of an 'explosion , not the iresult of accident , but of design . Between half- ^ past eight and mine o'clock in the evening , Mr . Thomas -Richardson , a mephew of Mr . Roberts , while ialone > on' the 'premises , heard a smothered explosion' at the basement ¦ of ¦ thefouuding . The authors of Jthe UHScbief had taken care . < to retire j but their work was aufficieiftly' apparent . T-he instrument used to effect the-rexplosion was a sort of hand-grenade , a very strong steel canister firml y ; and elaborately bound together with , wire , and ' 'having : &he remnant of afuse ' e attached .
The Militia . —Greatdissatisfaction , and -gome-amount of insubordinations -have been exhibited by « theinilitia ; in various parts of the country , in consequence of ihe men who enlisted under the act of 1852 , and who-were only liable to be called out for training for nfty-Hsixcdays ; being embodied by theactof 1854 , and retained for * five years . All apprehensions , however , have been quieted by Lord Panmure consenting , as an act of grace , to dispense with the prolonged services of those men who enlisted before
the last act .-The men with families are to be discharged altogether ; but the single men will be required to attend the regiment for fifty-six days in every year , until the expiration of the period during which the regiment is embodied .- These " men may * if they please , be reattested , and complete their term of five years' service ; for which act of fresh allegiance every man is to receive 20 s ., entirely irrespective of all . other pay or Jbounty . In some instances the regiments have been greatly reduced by a secession of a large number of the men .
Disgraceful Usage of Thkee Militiamen . —Three men belonging to the South Lincolnshire 'Militia , o which Colonel Sibthorp is the commander , applied on Thursday , at the Clerkenwell Police-court , for assistance . They stated that they had-wives and families ( each , indeed , was accompanied by his wife and a child ); that they had enlisted under the act of 1852 , but had been embodied , and had served for eleven months under the act pf 1854 ; that , upon the receipt of Lord Pananure's " act of grace , " they , in common with 250 of the regiment , had applied for their discharge ; and that thereupon they had -been •*? bundled '' into the streets , to
find a home where they could , without receiving any inarching money , or anything over and above the arrears of their pay . They thought this additionally hard , since they had not received the full bounty-money of 6 ? . They were one hundred and ten smiles from their home , and were without money . The magistrate defrayed the expense of taking them to their pariBhes o « t of the poorbox . —It will be recollected that the South Lincolnshire is the regiment of militia concerning which Colonel Sibthorp recently mado a flourish in " the House , " stating that he would put himself to-any expense for its sake . The militia generally is being broken up , owing to the Government riot keeping faith originally with the men .
Miutaut Disturbance at Preston . —On Sunday and Monday evenings a fight took place between the men of the 18 th and the 97 th Regiments , at Preston . Nothing serious , however , occurred on either occasion ; and the soldiers , on the interference of the police , aided by the presence of one of their officers , retired to their barracks . Death of the Atjthorbss of " Jane Eyre . "—• We regret to announce the deathof Mrs . Nicol , formerly Miss Bronte * , who , under the nom de plume of Currer Bell , established a lasting reputation by the publication of "Jane Eyre .

The lady , who was the last survivor of a family of six , diod on Sntarday last , at her father's house , at Haworth , Yorkshire . — -Manchester Guardian .
National Gallery Mismanacucmknt . —A Protest against the Report , from the , Select Committee on the National Gallery" has juat been put forth by several gentlemen , stating , from the evidence , tho grounds on which the report is imperfect , ono-sided , and misleading . Tho custody and management of tho National Gallery are treated as jobbing . The Protest is published by Mr . John ' Russell Smith , of Soho-square . It derives additional interest from the fact that Sir Charles Kantlako , who purchased a spurious , picture as a " Holbein , " and ordered tho destructive cleaning , lias been ronppointed Director of othe 'National Gallery , with on enhanced
salary ; . and that Mr . -Wowiem , ^ an ^ p holder of .. the cleaning , has been appointed Secretary . -Among the aignataries of « the- Protest , -are- Mr . HarlBtone ,: Mr .-Wil-Kam Coningham , vMr . W- S .-Landor , Mr .-George Long , Mr . Alfred B . -Richards , Mr . Edward Mayhew ,- < Mr . Thomas WakleyT and " An Englishman . " .

A Reformatory Institution is about to be established for the county of Warwick . Lewes . The Hon . < H . Brand , -the Member for Lewes , who vacated = his seat on accepting office as a Junior Lord of the Treasury , was on Thursday re-elected without
opposition . An ; Elephant belonging to . a travelling menagerie performed a strange feat while staying at Sheffield . He was- stabled in a coach-house adjoining a tavern ; and , possibly for a little . amusement , took it into Ms head to break through the partition-wall into the kitchen of . ( the tavern . A fire , place ran against this wall ; -and the elephant ' s head was seen coming through the chimney , to thegreat horror of all present . Fortunately , a lady belonging to the exhibition , ; had the courage to go into the coach-house , and calm the beast until the arrival of the keeper . It was found that he had broken through nearly a square yard of brickwork . Disappearance of a Clergyman . —The Rev . G . Watts , vicar of Broekworth , has been missing , for the last ten or twelve days ; and , although a reward of 50 ? . has been offered for his recovery , he has not been found .

SURVEY OF THE WAR . Some important changes have occurred in the relative positions of the Allies and the enemy , and the condition of the former , since we last took a survey of the war . Then the British forces had not re-appeared in that strength which it is nnderstood'they have subsequently shown on parade . * phe siolaSess Had just begun to grow less , the mortality to cease its and had
ravages , the supplies of food clothing begun to tell , the diminished -work in the trenches was saving many scores of lives , and the navvies had only just begun to clear tho ground for the railway . Since then , it was full six weeks ago , we have heard how man , and beast , and bird , and flower have revived , as winter departed and spring came softly in . The British army has mustered its 20 , 000 bayonets , all in health , and strength , and spirits ; and once more the tone of the correspondence from the camp is cheerful in its
tenor . tenor . But vastly important as this is , it naturally yields in importance to the military position of the allied armies . Here , also , there has been considerable change 1 . As to Sebastopol itself . —The works ot defence have been finished , even with neatness , and greatly strengthened , chiefly on tho eastern side , opposite the British attack . They now form on this side a strong chain of earthen their imme
ramparts and batteries , covered in - diate front by abattis , these , again , covered by " rifle pits "—in other words , artificial P ° J 7 " partly above , partly below the surface of tho ground , thrown up along the front as shelter for riflemen . The ' key of this lino of works is the strong redoubt winch stands where stood the White Tower ( Malakoff ) , against which the recent operations of the Allies have been directed . In front of Malakoff rises a round hill , now oalled the « Mamelon ; " and further

Is it true that Lord Palmerston , in addition to his other grave and important duties of premiershipnot the least grave being a vigilant resistance to the intrigues of Lord John Russell—is now transacting the affairs of the Colonial Department ? New Map of Europe . —Wo have received from Messrs . A . & C . Black ( Edinburgh ) a elenr , accurate , and elegant Map of Europe , with accompanying descriptive letter-press , at once full and succinct . Another month will decide whether the territorial distribution of Italy is to bo recafet : at all events , there never was a time when the map of Europe was more worthy of attentive study , or more auggestivo of serious considerations than it is now .

The ice in and around the Baltic appears to be slowly breaking up ; but in some parts—namely , at Kiel and in the Haff— it was still very firm nt the commencement of April ; and even where it has ¦ loosened , the channels . are rendered dangerous by drift ico and bergs . At Memel , no ice is to bo observed seaward ; but the Sound , on March 30 , was covered with floating mosses .

A despatch from Lord Raglan , dated the 24 th ult ., and giving an account of the Russian attack on the 22 nd , has been published . It contains only the following additional fact to those already known : — " The French , in retiring from their advanced parallel upon their supports , speedily rallied , and fell upon the enemy , whom they repulsed with groat loss ,, and followed so far up towards the Mamolon , that they were enabled to level and destroy nearly all the ' ambuscades' or ' rifle concealments' erected along their front .

Lkajder Office , Saturday , April 7 . The Assemblee Nalixmale says-: — " There is every reason to believe that on the 10 th of April the Ministers of France , Austria , and England , will present themselves at the Conference with a proposition arranged in common , arid upon which Russia will have no more to do than to declare acceptance or Tefusal , The uncertainty ^ vill not -be of long duration , and probably the Jiext week will not pass without our being able to announce to our readers something more precise than hopes and conjectures . " _ ^ The Pays contains a letter from . Vienna , which says : — - — " The navigation of the Danube continues to be subjected , to obstacles . Prince Gortschakoff had written from Kischeneff to the Austrian Consul , that Austrian vessels might come to Galatz and to Ibrail , to load and convey to Trieste and Venice the corn which had been purchased in those provinces by Austrian subjects previously to the prohibition ., Vessels under every neutral flag daily enter by the Sulina passage , but on arriving at Ciatal , at a short distance from Tultscha , the Russian flotilla stops them all without distinction . Thirty have been thus detained , and among them are several Austrian vessels . Such conduct is at variance with the note of Prince Gortschakoff . Thus , without , the permission of Russia , vessels cannot reach the ports of the Principalities . "
