THE PRESENT ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA. Taw is much matter for reflection in a letter from Warsaw, which appears in another column of this day's impression. The fact that the Cz.ta has withdrawn the Flits of his army from Poland, and substituted Asiatic troops for them, has a threefold significance. In the first place, it appears to indicate that the Russian Government does not expect a speedy cessation of hostilities ; or, in other wards, that it is not prepared to submit to the tams on which the Allies propose to make peace. This, at least, is the natural inference from the stratum efforts it is making to send its best soldiers am& wards. In the second place, the movement appears to indicate that the Russian Government is net ap prehensive of any hostile advance towards its frontier on the part of Austria. If the Cabled of St. Petersburg entertained the least fear orangeries taking part against them in the war they are sow waging with the Allies, the army which coves Warsaw would be strengthened, for Poland would then be threatened by the numerous Austrian army assembled in Gallic* Lastly, by leaving Poland to be garrisoned almost exclusively by Asiatic troops, the Russian Government shows that it does not believe is the possibility of any insurrectionary movement in that country. It thereby pro *lslas its eonvietion that Polish love of liberty, Polish patriotism, Polish contempt of danger and death, are to be found only in" the Emigration " and that the Poles still resident in their native land, what with espionage, and oppression, and the wasting sickness of hops deferred, are thoroughly spirit-broken. If the Russian Government laid its account with peace, it would be unnassmary to make such efforts to reinforce the army of the South; If the Rambo Government dreaded an Austrian in viable or a Polish insurrection, it would not leave Poland to the protection of Asiatics: Brave its so called Bashkir. may be, and tolerably disciplined ; hut neither they nor any Asiatics are able to cope with the addicts of Europe. The uncompromisingly defiant attitude maintained by Russia ought to convince our Weston Diploma tists that nothing is to be gained from that Power by moderation or concession. Like all semi -barbarians, the Ruislass always attribute to weakness what oa the part of civilised governments may be the effect of a generous magnanimity. The more that is yielded to Russian remonstrances at the Vienna Conference, the more unreasonable will Russian demands become. The representatives of France and England will find that the facility with which they have allowed themselves to be entangled in a logomechy of protocols, while the Russian ministers affect to be waiting for new instructions from their court, will only lead to fresh applications for delay, and the starting of fresh cavils. It is already obvious that when the Russian Government agreed to" negotiate on the basis of the Four Points," it intended to negotiate, and nothing more. It is not by diplomatic coaformess, bat by hard blows on the battle-field, that Russia is to be brought to give adequate guano- ' tees that it will respect the liberties and pesos of f Europe. M.

The case of Church Rates, like the case of the defunct Corn Law, is one that dote not admit of the question—What are we to substitute for them P The only answer to that question is— Nothing. Sir W. CUT'S bill seems to place the matter an a fair footing : it goes for the abolition of Church Rates; and empowers the congregations of the various churches in connexion with the establish ment to meet and uses themselves for the main tenance of the fabric and the necessary menses of divine worship. Ministers, we understand, would prefer providing for the maintenance of parish churches and cathedrals by enacting that the sums required for this purpose should be taken out of some of the eeelesiesticel funds. But, in nuking this pro posal, they forget that Church Rates press quite as unequally upon many members et the establishment se upon dimwits's. A large and increasing number of the churches in connexion with the establishment are reared and maintained by voluntary subscrip tions. They derive no advantage at present from the levying of Church Rates; they would not participate in the disbursements frees the funds in question, or, if they ware allowed to do so, would soon by their ingrowing numbers, exhaust the funds. The most practical and equitable arrangeseet for church men, as well as foe dissenters, is ono of the nature receinaieaded by Sir Winmtic CLAIN—DoiIy Area. r• r , THE EXPRESS, intiliatir EVENING, MARCH 30, 1356: int treat.

CLAY once more raised, in fin Hone of Commons, the question of the abolition of Church Rots& We have been for some time watching ' the preliminary symptoms of the storm oat of doors, and were therefore—even without the notice os the motion-book—prepared for its bursting on the antral I legislature. There has been for some time a general commotion among the opponents of Church Rates. In every town and county there have been suits about Church Rates before the justice., disputes about Church Rates in vestries, or public meetings to petition against Church Rates. And thus has it been year after year, for a period of which it is scarcely worth while to take the trouble of ascertaining the exact duration. Church Rates have become a peren nial fountain of strife, wrangling, and all uncharitable ness. This is no fault of religion; no fault of a majority of the members of the Established Church. who would either gladly see Church Rates abolished, er core little shoat their maintenance; and yet, in the minds of the surefire:ling, these annoyances become associated both with religion and the Church, and thus prejudice both. For this reason it is closely the duty of all who are under the guidance of earnest religious sentiments and prin ciples, and of all who cherish and seek to promote the usefulness of the Anglican church, to lend their aid to promote a satisfactory and final settlement of these mischievous disputes. And such settlement is obviously unattainable by any other means than the entire relief of our anti-church-rate population from the burden of Church Rates. Year after year have the assaults upon Church Rates become bolder and stronger; the defence of them more timid and com promising. Their abolition is only a question of time ; is it worth while therefore to keep alive a spirit of dis sension and bitterness by obstinately clinging to a hopeless cause P Were the principle of Church Rates at all tenable, we should be the last to advise surrender merely be cause their defence is hopeless. We hold it to be the part of an honest man to abide by his convictions even in extremities; but, in truth, the levying of Church Rates is, in the actual circumstances of so ciety, utterly indefensible. Is it to be borne that the members of that Church which is richly endowed should have it in their power to compel Noncon formists, who have their own churches to support, to pay for the maintenance of those of the wealthier met P It is the old parable of the rich man who, to entertain a guest. while sparing his own flock laid violent hands on the one ewe lamb of his poorer neighbour.

From the preparations for war going on in Poland, and the marching and countermarching of troops in all possible directions, it certainly does not appear as if the Russian government was really in earnest about maim, peace, or disposed to accept the four rants according to the interpretation of the allies. It was at first difficult, not to say impossible, to under stand the object of these military movements, but the mystery is now cleared up and the result apparent. All the regiments which were dislocated from the great central point, Radom to Lublin And Granite chau, are now on their march to join the army of the south ; whilst, on the other hand, the troc'es in can tonments in Lithuania, at Bownow, and ..tugueto wow, and even the cavalry regiments which were pushed forward as far as Plonk, have received °odors es march to the Baltic provinces, where an arm; or 150,000 men will be immediately concentrated.

PARIS, TIVISDAT ETZNIMO, Aftar months of hazardous oonjecture respeetiog the movements of the Emperor, we find in the Mani tem of this morning a fact. His Majesty formally announces his intention to accept an invitation from Queen Victorls, and (accompanied by the Empress) to go to England, " towards the middle of next month.' This announcetneet shows. undoubtedly, that the the Emperor is in no great hurry to p to the Crimes, but does it prove, as ease people are inclined to think it does, that he has renounced the project P I appre hend net. The Emperor will not risk his " star" upon an assault open Sebsatopol with any like the present force of the Allied Annie. (vilest Tis Another important picot, of news lr the Monatear is the departure of M. Dronyn de Litnye tier London, and the intimation that on _his return he will go to Vienna to assist IL de Bournueney in the Con ferences. The Bourse is inclined to persist in the interpretation of this event which was given to the rawer of yesterday—that the negotiations for peace must be very serious, since the Minister of Foreign Affairs is suddenly sent to forward them. This no tion will, I have not the least doubt, turn out to be an error. The Russian diplomatists have been inge nious enough to bring the Western plenipotentiaries to • dead lock. The Conferences are suspended de facto. I have heard that the sth of April is the day to which their re-opening has been formally adjourned. The diplomatists have written to their governments that they require fresh instructions. M. Dronyn de Lhuys goes to England in the first instance, and I believe his mission is, to come to an understanding with the English government on a coarse to be taken calculated to expedite the negotiations, and to force Austria (and this, I believe, yet requires to be done) t draw the sword. I am informed that a decree will appear in a few days, adding a fourth battalion to every regiment of the line in the service. Asa battalion omelets of 900 men, this will be equivalent to an addition of 90,000 men to the effective force of the army. It is seldom that a guard is traced to its parent nest, but I have learnt the history of one to-day. It INS re at the Boars* that M. Ouizot had been at the rilil ted eries, and was going on a special mission to Vienna to make pears. M. Onisot was, in point of fact, at the Tuileries on Tuesday, but he went u part of a deputation to present M. Ponsard, the new Academician, to the Emperor. His Majesty asked M. Guizot whether he had seen the new play the Dani-Monde, to which gracious question Louis Philippe's Minister replied that he had never even baud of it. That was, I believe, the extent of the conversation that took place on the masks, so far as M. (hint is concerned. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. A telegraphic: of the following appeared I in oar impression yatsrday : I.IVERFOOL, TIOUDLY. The Cunard mail steam-ship Canada, .Captain James Stone, arrived this morning from Boston and Halifax, with the weekly mails, 80 passengers, and 1,600,000 dollars in specie. The Canada, on getting out of the wharf, on the 14th inst., cracked one of the side levers of her engines, and wee delayed, repair ing, until the forenoon of the 17th, when she sailed for Liverpool, arriving at Halifax at 2.65 a.m. on the 19th, and passing Cape Clear yesterday at 3 a.m. The Pacific, hence at New York on the 14th, and the Africa at Baton on the 17th inaL The news, per Africa reporting the death :of the Emperor of Roads, h: d created a profound sensa tion ; but, owing to the false report of the fall of Sebastopol, in September Lot, the announcement was not believed by many, and the Russian minister at Washington had characterised it as " an uniniti gsted hoax." The only news of interest is from California to the 16th of February, by the Illinois steamer, which also brought 1,600,000 dole. in gold dust. Several important bills bad been introduced into the legislature. One of these was to exclude from the seines all persons who are not eligible to citizen ship. Should this bill become a law, it will drive from the mines all the Chinese, many thousands in number. The proposition to fond 1,600,000 dole. of the city debt at 10 per sent. per annum for twenty years met with strong opposition from the taxpayer.. It p assed the Board of Assistant*, but would undoubtedly be lost in the Board of Aldermen. It was thought that 8 per cent. was a sufficiently high rate of interest. A most daring and successful robbery of the county funds of Alameda had been perpetrated. The trea surer on looking into the safe, found that every dollar of the funds had been taken. His eafe was fend looked, as was also the door of the office. It is supposed that the robbery was perpetrated by means of false keys. The amount stolen was about 12.000 dollars. The reported discovery of gold on Kern River has produced someezeitement at San Francisoo, and the steamers for San Pedro, the nearest port of disem barkation, wore crowded with passengers. There can be no doubt that the Horn River diggings are u rich as any in the state. In other parts of the state there was a general complaint of lack of water, and let many " big strikes" are recorded. We have slates from Valparaiso to February. The arrival of the United States steam-sloop Decatur, about which much fear was entertained, was an- Roamed. I TheChilian country remains very tranquil.

THE ARMY BEFORE MR. ROEBUCK'S COMMITTEE. Yesterday Dr. Forrest, who west oat to the East originally as Kat surgeon to the Third Divisioss, bat who wee eabarquatlyappoiated fro tan., but for ten days ealy, deputy-laspector of the hospital•at Seatesi, wee the fret witness azainined. He stated that the teats famished to his regiment were not good, bet no better were to he bad. There was so what of hospital siconunodatioa at Versa. The *Widest of the tents affeated the health of the Deeps, bat only partially. As principal medical *Seer at Seated fee tea days, be was appointed to relieve Dr. Measles and itapereede him by a general order. The bane hospital was overcrowded. bat the general hospital was ant se. The state of the uousaries while be was there was Glees, Ben Ist te 10111 January. There was no dirt oa the floors, and is seedy offensive nulls. Thine were plenty of medical semi ex t opium , and there was a person constantly is the medial d spensaly. There was an omitting room is sae of the corridors, but no operation took plane while be was these. There were operating tables fit far the pupas, sad they were not rioketty. Dr. Lawson brought a letter beat Dr. Hall to be employed in the Sultan's palace, which was turned into a heepieel, and then entered on the supreme medical charge there. Witness left the audios' are of the Third Division because he was in &health, and therefore unable to discharge his duty. Dr. Oniikshank took his place. There was a general order on his appointment at Scutari. Dr. Menzies was declared dsk, and, as witness took his place, one sick man relieved asetker. (A lamb.) His division in camp had Guiltiest suppliee of audidne, with the gumption of opium and as =Nihau ; but he ea sufficient for his wants. Something he got now at all, though he applied on requisition. There was a general want of medicines after November in the Third Divide.. They had plenty of quinine, but there was a want Center oil. Opium, one of the principal medical. required, was not fortheoming. As a staff surgeon of the medical department of the division, it was his preview to supply the regimental surgeons and hospitals, and he had • special supply of medicines for this purpose, in large eases, lauded at Bslaklays. They viers the situp of ordinary packing-seess, but two of them weld not have been carried by a mule. He had one are for surgical applisnees and another for medicines, and these he thought sufficient for the supply of the regiment. The panniers that avompa- Med the regiments had sufficient supplies of medicines. He superintended operations on the wounded after joker mama, and bed at band ell the necessary sponges and up pitmen. The tents used for the sick and wounded were est two much crowded, but in wet weather the smell was vesy offensive. A marquee would hold fifty men without erevrding, but they generally put in only 28 sue. The dud Muse at Scutari was in a room in the corridor Immediately ender one of the wards of the hospital. It was very offen sive, and prejudkial to the general health of the patients. There was a place outside the W rath hospital also and as a dead house by the Turks, bat at the time that he was there it was filled with straw and horses. To be removed from the dead-hew the sick sad wounded had to be tarried pest the patients' rooms, and subsequently witness had the deadhouse within the barrack hospital removed to the deed-honse outside. During the time he was at the bar rack hospital he ebtained ever) thiog he wanted. He came from Balaklau to Scutari in • sick ship with 240 ea beard, and two died on the voyage of the vessel (the Close. et the South). They were two days out. Witness buten ill chiefly from exposure to the weather. The bowel com plete% and these from exposure were the prevalent ones, and consequently proper tents were very desirable. The sick in the Queen of the South had no beds, but whets if Scutari the sick and wounded ware well supplied with provisions end medical comforts. He had reports u to the state of the men is the meets, but none describing their condition as exceedingly bad. The tint teats the Third Melaka pot were issued at Gallipoli, when they first started for the Crimea ; and they were brought from the stores et Malta. He had been in the army media) serviee near;y thirty years. He arrived at Gallipoli on the Zed May, but bad sothing to do with the hospital at Scutari before going to Varna. The Third Division were supplied with porter at Yana ; the whole time they were staying there belay a store that could be conveniently got at. The commissariat at Vane had plenty of tea, and it was issued to regiments at a cost price. Witness gave 14d. a pound for it ; and it was of good quality, and unnetncted in issue. They had bitter beer also, and port wine for the hospitals and the wand of the Third Division ; both being obtained in considerable quantities. The division suffered slightly from scurvy, and had no vegetables; but latterly lams juice as • substitute. He sent to the purveyor at Baia kites, while In the Crimea, for these things, but frequently the gorse obtained in return wen only small in quantity. Before departing from Yana for the Crimea there was no oonsultation among the medical officers relative to the sag ely of medical comforts, bat the matter was left to the din• atonal officers. If Dr. Smith stated that a large supply of lime jeles-3 lioness a day per man far three months—was sent out, he did sot know what became of it, as no such supply while be was there arrived at Scutari or the Rest. Witness made seine suggessioss to the esmmandeut abut the barrack hospital, and there was no conflictof opinion between them. For all military purposes the commandant bed the general management of the bespitsi, and if any thing offensive existed, it was his duty to call on proper persons to remedy or remove it. He had no difficulty with regard to the authority of this purveyor, sod u head medi cal man, during his appointment, be got what he required . without his authority being disputed. He had stores and medical comforts sufficient for 10days after the Third Divi sion arrived before Sebastopol, and after that he applied for them at Balaclava, bet his requisition was not complied with, because he supposed what he required was not there to be had. There were no soldiers' wives with the Third Division; and he did not know that In other regiments the women suffered, or that their condition was unsistiefactory. Mw Nightingale, I. his opinion, did a great deal of good in the. hospital ; and while he was there the supplies wore good s but ocessienally there was a deficiency. The forms and regulations took up toe much of his time ; but in such a lugs establishment as Scutari many of them were necessary. When be got to Scutari he had 18 orderlies who attended oa the sick and wounded, and the irregularity that arose in the feeding was from the great extent of work the orderlies had to go through. - - Captain Bamford, of the 63rd Regiment, deposed that the statement made by Sergeant Flower to the committee, as to the knapsacks being piled up in the middle of tne camp,was erroneous, as before be left the lamp they were being toned, to the men. Where owners ware found they received their knapsacks, and where there were no owners they were piled up. The statement of Sergeant Plower, who lest sub's quently to witness, was on this mutter in his opinion Juan , rect. His company had some of the kospracke directly they were brought up, and be never sew them piled up alto ' getter, as stated by Sergeant Flower, and those that were so piled up belonged either to those who wets dead or those who were sent on to &Uteri. There , were places dog out to sink or fix the tents 19, but he did not think Vey could be celled holm Nothing was said, to his knowledge, about the haspeacks not being served out unless the holes were dug. His tent wee blown'sway on the 14th of September, and he could not understand how it , was that the knapsacks of the dead were not, if inch was ths sae*, given to the living. The French piled up stones for their tents, and dal not dig holes. He wee taken when wounded in an English ambulance, bat he preferred the French method of conveyance by mules. The French got their wounded off the field of lokermann much better than the English did. There was no proper provision for tbent in the Trent, in which he tailed fr m Baleklava to Scutari ; no water closets and no cups and sneer,. (Leughter.) Then were 160 sick and wounded on board. It wee the wont ship be was ever in. The secommodstion was dreadful. Wining thought the cooking in the Inspirit at Boated in refitelent. The military commandant sod inspector never sense iato his ward, though the clergymen of the beelike! did. He did not believe the statement in the pavers that the 63rd Regiment was reduced to thirty men. When he left them in November they were between 600 and 600 'strong, out of the 1,020 that left Cork. Up to the wet -weather the regiment was healthy, and he attributed their illness to overwork in the treads'. His regiment wag always supplied with medicines', and they were just begin ning to pus the knapsacks up when he lett. RI. own coat . pasty received their knapsacks, bat a number at the knap sacks bad not when he left come up. He kit three weeks before Skit. Flower. The 63rd Reit. were worse rationed, . biting further from Balaklava than any other reginient. They had fresh meat only ones a week, and a lew cabbages and onions were the meet they got in the shape of vegeta . bks. The men had food, but bad not time to cook it. They had no fail, and had sometimes to eat the mast raw. Fo: a fortnight they had the coffee roasted, bet after that quite peen.
