SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. ~- _.~ TIMES. —IS there any sin in deed, word, or thought, that is deemed too heinous to be laid to the charge of " Perfide Albion ?" Not if we listen to the talk or droughts,we may offlo h o o d ld an o d u fi rs r e e lv o l look over the writings of some continental people. guiltlessW e do o f not rainfallsk nolvh o o r w far of any other natural scourge with which our neigh bours happen to be afflicted. But, as political mis chief, nothing, it is quite sure, ever goes wrong without our being at the bottom of it all. Does the Pope meditate an escape from Rome? Who should put the thought into his mind but Mr. Odo Russell, himself, a Protestant, and the representative of a Protestant State, anxious to withdraw the Holy Father from the protection of his eldest daughter ? Are the Cretans in arms against the Sultan ? Who stirred_them Palannratnn __nrad Sir a bait to bring back the Morea, Athens, and the whole of the Greek world in their train ? Finally— and this is the offence which has raised the last hue and cry against us--who but ourselves hired the monks and brigands of Palermo to proclaim the Sicilian Republic ; and what else was our object but to wrest from King Victor Emmanuel that fairest and richest island in the Mediterranean, on the pos session of which our hearts have been set ever since the days of Lord Nelson ? Little would it avail us to plead " Not Guilty" to the impeachment, to en deavour to redeem our c h ara cter for fair-dealin r r and unselfish motives by pointing to the facts—th at the news of the rise in Sicily took us as much by surprise as it did all the rest of the world, not excluding Baron Ricasoli, the Prime Minister of Italy, and M. Torelli, the Prefect of Palermo ; that our anxiety to refrain from interference went the whole length of leaving her. Majesty's subjects in the island unprotected by a single boat from our Malta squadron, compel ling them to seek shelter on board a man-of-war of a friendly Power; finally, that the English residents found themselves exposed no less to the bullets of. the insurgents than to the shells of the Royal troops. All this would be to little purpose ' • the proofs of our complicity are supplied by the heaps of English sovereigns with which the rioters pockets were flush, by their cry for the Constitution of 18 i 2, and the mention of the p a rtito Inglese" among them. We shall certainly take no trouble to un deceive the politicians of Milan and Florence as to the absurdity of the imputation) We shall not at tempt to convince anybody who may yet require conviction on that score that there is not really one inch of territory belonging to any of the European States which we do in the least feel inclined to covet, and that, as to Sicily, not only would we never take that island as a gift, but no bribe would induce us to saddle ourselves with it. John Bull is, on the whole, a thriving man, and is aware of the feeling that is said to be the shadow of prosperity. Few people in Europe care to understand him ; most nations take their opinions of him at second hand, from the estimate he puts on himself. The English painted by themselves make but a sorry pic ture. In our worst fits of grumbling we are taken at our own words. Anything more selfish, more fickle, more unprincipled than our foreign policy, past and present, as blazoned forth by certain ac- I complished English essayists on England and Europe, can hardly be read in the Memoirs, if they ever appear, of the Marquis de Boissy. That for five-and-twenty years, at the close of the last and the 'beginning of the present century, we should have struggled for existence, and in our great straits acted sometimes on the maxim that all is fair in war, seems to those benign gentlemen an indelible stain on our national shield. The recklessness with which we went to work during those continental wars, the worse than Macchiavellian arts by which we pro moted regardless of other people's less than of our most sacred rights and our interests, selfish no engagements—all our misdeeds are arrayed against us, sha m n e ot an o d nly re w m i o t r h se a , viewbut to overwhelm us with to bend our hearts to amends and reparation ; to point out a just and generous policy, which should begin by a general restitution of stolen goods --a surrender of Gibral tar to the Spaniards, of Malta to the Italians, and to every man his own—and should end in a cham pionship of the weak and the oppressed, a chival rous mission in quest of wrongs to be redressed. We have no great apprehension of thesound mass of our countrymen ever being led away by specious theories of the nature alluded to. Without claiming exemption from that liability to error which is the common lot of mortals, we believe that our states men for years have pursued that course ew the as which h the e t seventyexigencies of extremely hard times imposed upon them. Impressed with a strong sense of their duty to their country, they were not, however, altogether dead to what is called " la politique du sentiment," nor, above all, sympathy for any cause that might seem noble and deserving. In the negotiations of 1815, whatever may be said to the contrary, England put forth the most mode rate claims in her own behalf, and thought most of the interests of European peace, and of what was then looked upon as the rights and liberties of na tions. Since that year it must also be allowed that, bound as she deemed herself by the faith of treaties, she too often strained a point for the relief of the oppressed, and lent a hand in some transactions the strict justice and expediency of which have since been questioned ; for there are not many at the present day who would contend that the Greeks were worthy of the independence that Navarino gave them, or that the rule of Don Carlos in Spain could have been more bigoted, more despotic, or sanguinary than that of Queen Isabel has been. It is, be it understood, far less from sluggishness in taking an active part in European conflicts, less from a sordid anxiety for her trade and industry, that England has gradually withdrawn within herself and adopted her policy of non-intervention, than from the immense difficulty in many questions of know ing what side it is really wise and equitable to take or what positive good may be expected even of the most justifiable interference. For our own part we believe no Englishman has any reason, looking to the results, to be proud or glad of the part he took in Spanish broils, and no Englishman, were he even a Lord Dudley tuart, would advise war with Rus sia, even for the sake of Polish independence. As to restitution of British possessions in obedience to the claims of nationality, we have shown our good will in the case of the lonian Islands, an act of self denial to which moreimpulsive and magnanimousna tions.offer no parallel ; and although we shall never have reason to repent a sacrifice which was only a good riddance for what concerns ourselves, we are far from sure as yet that either the Greeks or the lonians themselves may count that change as a real gain ; but as to Gibraltar, Malta, and other mere dots on the map of the world, even if we were con fiding enough to surrender fangs and claws in our trust in the brotherhood of nations, we should only show our improvidence in giving up to the weak what sooner or later must again fall into the hands of the strong. But, although we have established among us the political principle that charity begins at home—and we have, in our opinion, no reason to be ashamed of it—we do not think that our neigh bours ought to be too positive as to our absolute neutrality in all their concerns, or as to ouradherence to the doctrine of non-intervention in any events. England is not ancient Venice, nor were the wars of the Napoleonic era to us what those of the League of Cambray were to the Republic of St. Mark. It is possible, we believe, tc presume too far on the " passivity and supineness" of England. That every Government should settle its own affairs with its people without let or hindrance on our part, were it' even as utter a libel oft Providence as ,that of the Bourbon of Naples, is with us a fixed principle ; nor do we think right and wrong are always so nicely divided in international questions as to war rant rash partisanship ; but there may, nevertheless, be cases of outrages so glaring, and perpetrated to the the injury of such near and dear neighbours, as would compel us, in spite of all our inertness, to take up another people's cause as if it were our own. We certainly deem it idle to take heed of all the rumours lately current with respect to the designs of some great Powers against some of the minor States on their frontier. It would be even more unprofitable to discuss how we should meet contingencies as yet so remote, but there is cer tainly no harm in borrowing the favourite phrase of the Emperor Napoleon, and asserting that in such contingencies we should " reserve our freedom of action." As to the Eastern question, none of those who hold us so cheap would dream of its coming to a settlement with out us. We certainly do not greatly care what be comes of Crete or of any other Greek province, whether insular or continental. The expulsion of the Turk from Europe, the partition of his spoils between Russia, France, Austria, and Prussia would little affect our equanimity. Our former cure of the " Sick Man" was not successful, and was never meant to be radical or permanent. He had too many doctors. Only we must not. have Egypt meddled with. For the independence of the Isthmus Europe may be sure that we - would fight tooth and nail. Men may coma their big batta lions, they may put their faith in needle-guns, they may forget all we ever did by land or sea; but the real nerve of war is with us nevertheless, the gold in our banks, the thews and sinews in our manly race. Nor need too great a stress be laid on our Anglo-Saxon horror of great standing armies; for the Americans are also Anglo-Saxons, and they bowel to that suprema lex which in their hour of trial became their only mitts populi. Post —The distinguished members of the late Government who have determined to pass the critical period of an exceptionally embarrassing recess in the Eternal City may be congratulated on the exercise of their excellent discretion. It should not, however, be hastily supposed that an excursion which is obviously convenient involves any de parture from the way of duty. Mr. Gladstone may have recollected, and Earl Russell cannot have forgotten, that at no remote period a great English statesman was recalled from Rome to ad 'Via' nit executive committee of the National Reform Union. Still it would seem that the Radical Reformers fail to perceive the expediency of this movement,' and that, so far from moderating their suppressed 1 displeasure, Mr. Brand has heaped coals upon the fire. They describe him as the " ex-whipper-in of the Liberals," and affect to think that he speaks without authority. They. sneer at his overweening readiness to believe in the likeli hood of a Tory Reform Bill," and are surprised that he should conceive it possible for Parliament to amend and pass any measure dealing with the representation which Lord Derby's Government might introduce. Of course there are suspicious people who regard such au outburst of indignation as they would a flash of stage lightning; but be that as it may, Mr. Brand's manifesto claims considera tion, on the fair assumption that it is an authentic and accredited political communication. Substanti ally, the letter which has caused so much real or simulated consternation in the Radical camp is little more than a recapitulation;in a condensed and pre cise form, of the opinions expressed by Mr. Glad stone at Salisbury. It draws a line of demarcation between the action of the Liberal party and the agi tion of the reform leagues and unions, and explains clearly enough on what conditions and to what end the former is to be directed. Mr. Brand presumes that Lord Derby's Government must do one of three things ; they may decline to deal with Reform ; or they may propose an illusory measure ; or they may bring forward a Reform Bill which, if not good, is susceptible of improvement. If the last course is taken, Mr. Brand thinks their bill ought to be car ried into committee in order to amend it ; and, on the other hand, " if the Government take either the first or the second course, it will be for Parliament to pass judgment upon them." The only point on which this proposition appears to admit of a factious interpretation is not perhaps of much consequence, for no one doubts that the Conservatives would be glad to settle this question, and it may be assumed that the House of Commons will not be unreason ably impatient. But the ground on which it is ob jected to by the Radicals is, or rathe r ma y be,. of the utmost importance. If Mr. Gladstone 's word isa bond it will be tenable ; but that is not nearly all, for on the understanding now announced, the op portunityievcteuodr t e ha d et , wa nedu lad, revisionit w hich o h otf N V bt a eh s ed m eru i e s hp s t e re d eds e: n ne l toa B mt s i me 9 Government y by Lord Stanley, and it would be trifl in g with nemn so itself b a errs bgryeatirb.oßdyraonfdthweecroemomffeurneidtyt.o t T h l e ie la t t e e rms suggested Parliament' and the country to pretend that any liberal and comprehensive measure of Reform was illusory. If, then, there is some chance of getting rid of this stumbling-block in the way of progress, the " demonstrations" which Mr. Bright is promot ing may be contemplated with comparative com posure. They are organised to overawe and in timidate the Legislature, and therefore illegal and mischievous. But it is evident that there can be no permanent agreement between the statesmen who are meeting at Rome and the demagogues who de claim on the platforms of the Reform League, and if Mr. Bright casts in his lot with the one he must break with the other. Thus the nation may became reconciled to an abuse of its liberties. It has nothing to fear, and anger may be subdued by contempt. There are certain limits which must be observed and certain rights which must be vindicated, but they cannot be passed over or compromised by mere " wind and tongue," and it may be wise to tolerate agitation which clears the political atmosphere. M r . right's followers seem to have calculated errone ously on the effect which their provocation would produce. [f they were to carry out their threats the country would hold them responsible for the con sequences ; but it is exceedingly difficult to realise the idea which is indicated in rhetorical vehemence and uninstructed clamour. The intention is in telligible, and at the present time, and in the rirs d t place, it is to overthrow the Government of liLshoerd Derby. That, however, could only be accom n p "d Mr. by the co-operation of Mr. Gladstone, ultitudes are i Gladstone r h g a i s m n i e e n v e t r which been peroration, all very well to round the periods u°sancls," as they but when they come " in their t t h: orator descends advanced in Hyde-park.

The representation of the people is not and if it is to be refrained, the exigencies and the If th o e r re of b a e passions of political strife should not be suffered to of as this a pernicious. theory.one interfere with the work. Lord Derby's Government may or may not be competent to prepare and pass a reform bill ; but, at all events, any measure which they submit to Parliament ought to be considered on its merits ; and if its principle is affirmed, it is highly improbable that it will be withdrawn from the judgment of the House of Commons on a point of detail. Moreover, there may be no alternative. Mr. Gladstone cannot but be aware that a Reform Bill produced as a party measure would be rejected as such, and Mr. Bright confesses that any measure answering to his expectations must be driven through Parliament and imposed on the country by force. Now it is folly to talk of force. That strengthens the hands of Lord Derby's Government and para lyses Mr. Gladstone's party. There can be no forced legislation. But it might not be impossible to bring in a Conservative Reform Bill, which could not be opposed as illusory by any one who voted for the bill of 1859 ; and if Ministers consult public opi nion, Mr. Bright's agitation may throw whatever extra weight is required into the scale in their favour. The Recent Collision and Loss of Life off the Suffolk Coast. Yesterday an official investigation, instituted by direction of the Board of Trade, was commenced at the Greenwich Police -court, before Mr. Traill, the police magistrate, and Captains Baker and Hight, as nautical assessors, into the circumstances attending the collision off the Suffolk coast, between the screw collier Cobden and the schooner East Cornwall, by which the lives of the master and two cst the crew of the latter vessel were sacrificed. Mr. J. Hargreave Hamel, barrister, attended to conduct the inquiry on behalf of the Board of Trade, the owners of the East Cornwall being represented by Mr. Cohen (instructed by Messrs. Ellis, Parker, and Co.), and those of the Cobden by Mr. Cooper. Mr. Hamel opened theproceedings with a succinct account of the accident, which will be found de tailed in the evidence ; after which John Salt, the mate of the East Cornwall, was examined, and after describing the course steered, and the ship being tacked, he said, that about eight or nine minutes after the latter event he heard the captain call out, " Jump up here, my lads." He went on deck, and the captain then said there was a steamer down under the ship's lee. Witness saw the green and white light of the steamer about half a mile off, on the port beam. The captain told him to fill the yards. This was done, and they called out at the same time to the steamer to port her helm and reverse the engines. The steamer soon after struck the schooner, cutting her right in two, the schooner having grounded about ten minutes before the collision. Immediately after the collision wit ness jumped into the rigging, and got on board the steamer. He dragged one of the crew with him, and a minute afterwards the schooner went down. He heard the captain of the schooner call out for a rope, and he threw him two. The boat of the steamer was not lowered for a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes after the collision. By Mr. Cohen—The steamer was going at the rate of seven or eight knots an hour when she struck the schooner, the first person he saw in the steamer was the mate. The schooner was struck by the steamer a little on the slant. The schooner was in good condition. Never heard any complaints on hoard the steamer that the schooner's lights had not been seen. Saw the mate of the steamer shortly after the collision, and he did not say that he had not seen the lights. About ten minutes before he came on deck he heard the captain gave orders to put the ship about. By Captain Baker—No sail could have obscured the schooner's lights as they were fitted. There was no bell on deck, but there was a bell which was usedin fafxv weather. did Tric witness saiu ne a not think a b — df better than the crew screaming out as they did. A man waved the binnacle light for three minutes before the collison. The red light was burning brilliantly while witness was hauling in the forcyard. By Mr. Traill—At the time of the collision could see the hull of a vessel the same size as the schooner a quarter of a mile off. William Morris, seaman on board the East Corn wall, said he was on deck from 12 o'clock until the time of the collision. The schooner's lights were trimmed about 20 miputes before the collision. Witness saw the masthead light of the steamer when she was about a mile and a half distant, and about a minute and a half afterwards ho saw her green light, but never saw the red light. He reported seeing the masthead light of the steamer to the cap tain, who asked him which way the steamer was going, and he told him he thought she was going to the south. The captain had the helm in his hand and put it hard a-port, at the same time singing out to the steamer, " Hard a-port !" A man was in the main rigging on the port side waving the binnacle lamp. The steamer was then about a quarter of a mile off, and the collision occurred about three minutes afterwards. By Mr. Cooper—The schooner was put about before her lights were trimmed. By Captain Baker—Was of opinion that those on board the steamer should have seen the lights of the schooner. Robert High said be was a seaman on board the East Cornwall, and went below at 12 o'clock on the night of the collision. When' he came on deck he saw the schooner's red light burning brightly, and he should think the ship's lights could have been seen a mile and a half or two miles on that night. By Mr. Traill—The schooner's sails were not bleached, or white, but dark, like those of a collier. By Mr.Cooper—When he first saw the three lights of the steamer she was about half a mile off. - . By Captain Baker—Those on board the steamer ought to have seen the schooner's red light and bin nacle light, if a good look-out had been kept. The man at the wheel of the steamer told witness, on the following morning, that he saw the schooner's lights, and he (witness) saw the hull of a brig to leeward of the schooner a quarter of a mile off. Capt. James Smith Craig, master of the Cobden, was next examined. He said he was on deck until one o'clock on the morning of the collision. At that time the weather was very dark, but clear, and he could see a long way off, both the Orfordness and .Lowestoft lights. The lights of the steamer would burn 16 hours without trimming. At di l e timo of going off deck the wind was S.W. by W., strong. The steamer was not under canvas, a nd a n houn At one o'clock the steamer was abreast b was going from seven to eight knots chief mate, He gave 'the course, S.W. by S., to the u _ p to telling him to keep that course untilbr got darker or the Shipwash, and if the weather heard the mate thicker he was to be called. e st N r v u as ck a o d n u t l h l, e . w f ' o h r ite e. call " Port port !" and he he bad been lying do wn. house on the bridge, wheconds he saw a dark object Within two or three se under the steamer's bows • diately ran out of Collision took place almost instanter. of Soutinvold. quarter close , com pletely in two, as she went down immediately.

By Mr. Traill—At the time of the collision it was so dark that an object could not be seen at a greater distance than a ship's length. Remained near the wreak about an hour, when the weather getting dark, and the rain descending, for the safety of the steamer, as the cargo was shifting, he put her head to sea. The engines were put on at full speed after the collision, and afterwards slower, and stopped as the weather became thicker. _ Mr. Trail observed that with the weather so dark 4s had been described he did not think it at all pru- Alexander APlCinnon, chief engineer of the Cobden, said about two minutes before the "crash" of the collision he received a signal from the tele graph to stop the engines, which were then working about seven and a half or eight kn•.ts an hour. He had no order to reverse the engines after stopping them. Had such an order been given the engines could have been reversed in three-quarters of a minute. The court then adjourned.

Wrighton, who will ever be remembered and thanked for his charming Her bright smile haunts me still,' has just issued a sweet little song, commencing Grieve not for me love.' It is in the key of D, in six-quaver time, and ranges from Dto F sharp —or within the compass of a tenth. The air is very pretty and tender, is easy, and sings smoothly and pleasantly. Another of Mr. Wrighton's latest compositions is his ballad, ' They tell me I am quite forgot.' This is in B flat, common time. It is a very ex pressive song, and would well suit a good tenor voice, capable of delivering it with some degree of impassioned feeling. The accompaniment is simple, yet very appro priate."—Vide Scarborough Gazette, Olt. 4.

The supply of seamen for the Royal Navy, which for some time past has been gradually decreasing, has at length reached what appears to be the mini mum point, no men being now available for the commission and manning of any one ship in either of the great ports of outfit. Ihe Mersey frigate is waiting commission at Portsmouth, but there are no men for her, and supposing she were required to proceed to sea within 48 hours' notice, her crew of seamen could not be supplied to her from the usual legitimate sources, even were the whole of our home ports laid under contribution.
