It was probably to this weighty argument that Ministers owed their maps from defeat upon the evening in question. Let us examine how far their acts have agreed with their words— law promptly they have applied to the pressing asonsities of the Ottoman Army the fonds audio rind to be raised under Parliamentary guarantee. We will first adduce a few fads, to which we Mal. lags contradiction. There is at the present moment lying in the Bank of England a sum of no less than 2,600,0001., out of the total of 4,000,0001. already paid. by the subtoribers to the Turkish Loan = some gutsily these loan fends have as yet been drawn epos to the extent of only 1,600,0001 for the service of the Ottoman Government. Of this WS of 1,600,0001., 600,0001. was handed me to the Messrs. RovuecttiLfr, in liquidation of advances previously made by that firm to the Perle, the Government of the SULTAN having been &koala each dire straits for want of money that it actual* , meld not wait for the guaranteed loan, with its ate companying formalities. The original deposit of 600,0001. upon the new loan was paid into the Bank on the 22nd of August, and, we admit, was promptly remitted to Constantinople. But the British peal will scarcely credit the fact we now mamas% that this sum of 600,0001., the first proceeds of the hea t did not actually reach the hands of the Turkhk Torment until the 28th of November. The Odes man army Wog in a state of sonsimtervation s sod rendered quite ineffective for active opometien, through a deficiency of clothing, food, and maw of transport, was it necessary that more than filer j months should elapse before the officials of England end France would relax their grasp upon this limilsi, amount? Since this 600,0001. was neat (and spit from the 600,0001. repaid to Messrs. Rornscalizo), the only farther remittance made on account of the loan is a sum of 400,0004, despatched in four sopa tate amounts of 100,0001. each, in the first week of the present month. Probably the latter supply has am now reached Constantinople; bat Hite diddles* doe be retarded by difficulties similar to themeniddh prevailed in seeped of the first half milli% ter SULTAN'S suffering soldiers may have yet to wait for some months before their wants are relieved. , We have no hesitation in saying that this del* requires explanation. The objects involved are mew tially important to the vigorous prosecution of the war. The British portion of the greed Allied Army of operation being numerically email, England is making great exertions and sustaining enomens ex pense for the enlistment sad equipment of men drawn by the temptation el • high bounty and good pay from many parts of the Continent. Is she toting wisely in seeming to minister to the wants of the Ottoman troops, who have given admiring Europe such frequent sad lir nal proofs of constancy and courage? Let an un prejudiced observer gimes at the general military conduct of the Ottoman forme from the °prolog case paigu of the war on the Danube down to the genet action on the river input and the heroic defense of Kars. Can he fail to some to the ecieciesiou that these men, properly equipped end allowed. will prove of the highest vales in a protracted war ? Fighting for that country and faith against their hereditary foe, the motives stimulating these tried soldiers to deeds of endemics and gallantry mud be mash more powerful than those operating in the Wads of oar Gorman and other hired recruits. In point or shapes, too, the Turkish moldier is unri valled. He *ants ao bounty, sad will even fight without pay.

If what we hear be correct, this commission is a very incarnation of the spirit of obstruction. Between vexatious demands for all kinds of vouchers, and cavils pa to what disbursements appertain to the " extra ordinary" or war expenditure of the Turkish Go. tannest, as distinguished from its " °Winery " set the. the members seem to have almost prevented the nehrtenate and ill-need army fmm deriving any benefit whatever from the loan. Is the British G•vensusent equally strict is its supervision of the expenditure constantly gOiog on nearer home! The commissioners' obstructive tendencies, we are given to understand, mused the shameful delay in the apportionment of the first 400,0004 No doubt these gestisesen are very important in their estimation, and have attained an realm' poultice in Turkish eyes, as the dis misses of an almost Mains amount of wealth. Bot they will not achieve moons in their minion maims they ondseend to defer to the nobusineas ilk* habits of the Turks. Many of the Octanes officials may be rapacious and corrupt, but there is no used to regard them all as plunderers. We as cot help thinking that one ally is ill-treated in this respect. After all, it is Turkey that pays for the loan. England and Francs have merely lent their nano, and will, we hope, never be called upon for say mere substantial sacrifice in mansion with the transaction. Lord CLAWDON declared in the House of Lords, on the 3rd of Asgest, that" there would be staple security for the repsymest of the loan" By his own showing, therefore, Turkey has a perfect right to demand that the money for which she pays interest be promptly and usefully administered. We trust Ministers will direct their attention to this very important subject, and take museums for the speedy distribution of the large sum which is at present der posited in the Bank, for the exclaim benefit of that favoured seeperation. If a word of remonstrant* sod intrudes be also forwarded to the members of the sommiminn at Constantinople, we venture to anticipate that the deserving Ottoman army will be materially bandied. and the access of next year's campaign Fonda in proportion.

Messrs. DAVIDSON and GORDON have been found guilty by the jury, and sentenced by the Court to two years' imprisonment with heed labour. The oleos, of the Bankrupt Act under which this result hie bees achieved, is that which dedates, " that if say kinirrupt, within three months next preceding the date of the Sat, under the false pretence and colour of carrying on business, or dealing in the ordinary course of trade, shall obtain goods on credit with intent to defraud the owner thereof, or with the same intent diipoes of them when so obtained, be shall on conviction be subjected .. . to two years' imprisonment with or without bud la bour." The iadiatment chuged that the prisoners had so obtained goods from their creditors, with intent to defraud, and not to use them in the way of their liminess. The evidence io support of this charge was clear, ample, and conclusive. For nearly a year previous to their abeconding it was plainly proved that these pr ams had unstained a straggling and hazardous trade existence by the most desperate, not to my the mast criminal, means. As far back as October, 1863, they were under advances from Messrs. Ovum. and GIP& NIT to the extent of 200,0001.—a considerable potties of these loses having been mason the security of time fraudulent speller warrants in respect of latish lle. Wilms Cots is already undergoing insimmeatisa, and which are still, we believe, to furnish the mania for further charge against Messrs. DAVIDSON and GORDON. This large amount of debt went ea increasing as the period of their bankruptcy approached. The amount for which they ultimately failed was about 600,0001. The immediate subject of the charge was proved beyond the possibility of a doubt. Within the three months rending their flight from this country the prisoners had obtained from all quarters every deseription of produce and manatee- tared goods, for only part of which they had paid in cash, and upon the whole of which they had received advances to the full amount, and sometimes more. ' Beek was the ease against them. To this Nee there was sabstantially no deteoce. The jury very properly fined them guilty ; and the Court showed its sense of the quality of their offence by sentencing them to the maximum of penalty imposed by the clause of the Act under which they were convicted. May their punishment, inadequate as it is, yet prove a warn ing and an example to the many who, like them, are exposed to the fearful temptation of maintaining the seniblanesof wealth and the prestige of respectability by the miserable devices of peculation and hued. Re formation may be—no doubt is--tke great end of punishment, but with the alums whose god is respeetability, we have some faith also in the sinewy of deterrents.

It appears that the men of the Walla chian fire brigade a few days ago revolted against' their commander, Major Baltanu, but were disarmed land placed under arrest. During the investigation of the tees that ensued, it came out that be had com mitted numerous frauds and other abuses, amongst which " cheating the men of their pay" was one of the charges. When one considers that the pay of a private in the Walachian fire-brigade is only six *eras, or a shilling sterling. monthly (with free lard), it is difficult to conceive the possibility of 'beating them out of much. But other abuses of a asendalous nature were proved against the major , amongst which that he had given orders to have the yaps of square building-stones lying before the shank of fit.

Also that be had turned the barracks into a regular tavern, open to th e public, and had a large Intelsat in the profit on the sale of liquors there.
