OUR STRATEGY AT --.-- stood that what led to General CANZOBERVi station of the chief oommaad turas- .1. bhp immot conviction that the Russians meet fintibe beat, int the field before Sebastopol cool& vaptureC ' v ibe matter stands to common grease. Sebastopol is not etas fortress, but a number of feeteesess extending over a valley of considerable magnitude, and mi. procally enfilading each other. The fall of any one of them leaves the rest almost as strong as ever. Thousands of lives have already been sacrificed is attempts to take the outworks of one of these fortresses by assault—bow many will it wet before all of them are thus captured? We know that the Russian soldiers are remarkable for their unflinching obstinacy in defensive warfare. The garrisons of the strongholds, which fill and crown the valley of Sebastopol have uninterrupted in tercourse with a numerous army in the field; and that army has its communication with Odessa by way of Perekop uninterrupted. But it is in the power of the Allies to coop up the Russian forces in the Crimes, and by encircling to beat them in detail, and finally invest and blockade the fortresses. By such strategy the enemy might be compelled Oa surrender with comparatively little loss of life on the part of their 'assaults. Why is this less dazzling, bet more certain, coarse of action relinquished, for bed. Haat assaults which lead to the loss of valuable lives without any adequate return, and fill the land with mourning? The views we entertain may be erroneoua—the strategy adopted by our armies may be susceptible of a triumphant vindication—but assuredly it is the duty of the public to insist upon full explanations oo the part of Government. The English people haws been lectured from high places on the impropriety of evincing any distrust of Government. To all such monitions they may reply that __ confidence is not a matter of volition. We all remember what boasting our rulers indulged in after the successful landing at Old Fort, and the Brit brilliant advantage gaioed over the Russians at Alma. It is now apparent, from evidence tendered to the Sebsatopol Committee, that the Crimean expe dition was urged on in the vain expectation that Sebastopol could be taken by a coup-deonain, and with tbs intention, after accomplishing such an action el eclat, to evacuate the Crimea as Bomarsund was evacuated. The speeches recently made by the Aberdeenite section of the Cabinet, by whose com mand the Crimean expedition was undertaken, prove that they were never in earnest about the war. They only sought to dazzle the public with brilliant fruit less exploits, in order to soothe it into acquiescence in a precarious and inglorious peace. The colleagues of these men are still in office, and we and them persist ing in a plan of campaign which has the appearance of being more fruitful in striking displays of valour than in useful results. How, then, can we avoid entertaining apprehensions that as they connived at the delusive policy of their ex-oolleagnes, so they may still be acting upon it ? And entertaining such fears, where would be the prudence of abstaining from giving them utterance ? The secret of the strength of popular Governments is the freedom with which all affairs of State are canvassed. Bat for that freedom the treacherous tactics of the Aberdeeoites would have been successful. But that the pressure of public opinion was brought to bear upon a timid sad incompetent Government, England would have been obliged to retire from the war, baffled, and exposed to attacks which its seeming weakness would have invited from all quarters. Matters have been somewhat amended, but not to an extent that can warrant any intermission in public surveillance and censure. The factitious unanimity, which is the result of abstaining from the exercise of the right of a free people to can vass the acts of their rulers, is deoeptive and a source of weeklies& It leads to the toleration of weaknees or treachery in high places, and ends in defeat, in humiliation. The only unanimity that begets strength is that which is the result of free and fearless discus sion. When debate has had the effect of disabusing the national mind of misconceptions, and of driving the incompetent from offices of high trust, in which accident or their own presumption has placed them, then a free nation can act as one mut& and then it is irresistible. —Daily News. RELIGIOUS BY ACT OF P 4 THE sadly mistaken attempts to maks people tem perate and religions by Act of Parliament are begin ning to bear fruit. Some days ago bills were distri buted, inviting the wotking clamp to assemble in Hyde-park on Sunday, to 'see how religiously the aristocracy observe the Sabbath." The call was re. speeded to, and yesterday an immense crowd collected in the park. Policemen were stationed to warn carriages of the unpleasant reception they would experience, and every vehicle that pasted was Mailed by jeering quotations from Scripture. Mee though we lament, we cannot wonder at mob a demonstration. Stringent Sabbath observance bills are promoted by aristocratic names, countenamed by Government, and passed by the Legislature. Thousands who have never been argued or remon strated with by the missionaries of Sabbath Observ ance find themselves compelled to change the habits of their Waialeale usidie severe penalties. Their habitual I•4•lpsess aim arbitrarily iat. riered with. And they see minty of the she. which lay these heavy burdens as them refuse to touch one of them with their little finer*.

They Iran ealy to turn their eyes to Scotland to be re minded bow, some time ago, the Sabbatarians ammo bled • mob to hoot, hustle, and insult the per uses who landed from a steamer which sailed every Sunday with excursionists. At any time such a demonstration against the aristocracy by the populace as took place yesterday in Hyde-park would be of bad augury. When the lower classes become so irritated with the higher as to break out into open and premeditated insult, there are never wanting turbulent and ambitious spirits to envenom the fend.
