The acquisition of the metropolis of the old Byzantine Empire =is in fact the one aim and object of the hereditary policy of the autocrat. Since the first foundation of the Muscovite dominion, the seat of the Government has already been trans toned from one place to another, from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Yet another change of that daring cha- j racter has been ambitioned any tinni this last century and a half by the Emperors of all Russias, by PETER, called the Great, that is and more or less recognis ably breach of his eleven successors. From 1154 to 1239 the city of Fief was the recognised metropolis. While, again, fr )m 1240 to 1328 the acknowledged capital was Vladimir. As the governing authority of Russia has expanded from that exercised by a Duke to that wielded by a Grand Duke, afterwards by a Czar, and eventually, since 1080, by an Emperor or Autocrat, so the position of the capital has advanced from Fief to Vladimir, to Moscow, to St. Petersburg, and is intended to be ad vanced yet one step further, one of these fine days, if possible, to Constantinople. Everything was pre pared for this removal, for this realization of the day-dream of Pirthit the GlLllkij when in 1864 the Emperor NrbitinAs despatched Prince MtNscittkorr to thO Sublime Porte iitith Si studied insult which was simplk the deliberately prepared signal for the grand projebted svorlt o traiidfortriatipti. The river Pita With" CroAA that Ruhicon kit the CzAu, immediately iifter*arda.., SieldaVia *as Seized; and with it a portion of WallaChia. The Turkish iiqUadil ti was ruthlessly destroyed at Sinope. The formidable Atissiiin fleet, long prepared in the Euxine, was then in readiness to adventure upon the conquest of Constantinople. Au all but impregnable fortified seaport commanded the Black Sea at Sebastopol. The ball was apparently at the foot of Russia. Turkey wai seemingly quite at her mercy. The Western Allies interposed =the Crithean war was fought out to its glorious close by the united fordo§ of England and France in associatidn with Turkish and Sardiiiian contingents. A treaty of Mende was formally signed at raris—a treaty by which the integrity of Turkey was guaran teed by the contracting parties. That treaty it is which, fourteen years after it was signed by the British, French, Turkish, Sardinian, and Russian repre sentatives, the Cwt of all the Rtiehlas now dodlly intithates his intention 'to throw aside, as worthy of no further consideration. How to deal with the new Russian difficulty Lord RUSSELL has just now, in a very few words, clearly indicated, putting his pro position in the form of an exceedingly simple alter native::---" If the Russian EMIEROR," he !ma, " asks fok d Conference on the Treaty of iB5O at a time when such a conference can be assembled, let us meet him in a fair spirit. But if the CZAR proposes to set aside the Treaty of 1856 by force, let us meet Lim by force, and the sooner the better." That, in honour, is the only course to be followed by England. TOPICS OF THE D.Y. MR. (RIGHT AS A MINISTER. A good deal of curiosity has been excited as to the position which Mr. Bright will assume with reference to the Eastern Question, which has so un expectedly monopolised the attention of the Cabinet. The London correspondent of the Scotsman says that when Mr. Bright's illness began he was anxious to resign, but he was dissuaded from taking any deci sive step in the state of his health and spirits. He agreed to remain passive for a while, but as it became evident that he could not take part in public affairs for a considerable time, he renewed his early intention, and actually sent in his resignation to the Premier. Mr. Gladstone, however, p..rsuaded him to allow the matter to stand over for a little longer, and Mr. Bright agreed to retain his nominal position, though he has not drawn auy salary during his illness. He is, of course, altogether opposed to the notion of a war with Russia, and his health is still unequal to the anxiety and excitement of taking part in animated discussions and sustaining weighty decisions. Even should the Russian diffi culty be happily disposed of, it is thought probable that Mr. Bright will have ceased to be a member of the Cabinet by the time Parliament meets, for his medical advisers think him still unequal to the fatigues of lire in office. s uN, I.OIN DON; PRi DA Y , 10VEMBER 25 , lee EARL RUSSELL ON THE EASTERN QUESTION. Earl Russell, in another letter, says that as a nation we should stand upon the ground which Lord Granville has taken. He thinks the neutralisation of the Black Sea a very effective barrier to Russian ambition, but no doubt other modes of defence might be adopted in place of the articles in the Treaty which Prince Gortschakoff objects to. As for the sarcasms which have been passed on Turkey, Earl Russell thinks the internal %vent:tient of the Czar is as corrupt as that of the Sultan, but says that the policy of England is to keep Russia out of Constantinople, and not to maintain the present administration of Turkey. Earl Russell sees no difficulty in the way of procuring an embo died militia, and believes that. with a sufficient b3unty they could easily enlist 100,000 men for five years' service. He adds that the late Baron Roths child told him that if the English Government, of which the noble Earl was then the head, wanted 100 millions sterling, he would be happy to furnish the sum, so that neither men nor money would be wanting. He pro poses that if the Russian Emperor should ask for a Conference on the Treaty of 1850, he should be met in a fair spirit, and that France, Prussia, Italy, Austria, and Turkey should assemble at a convenient season, and consider if a substitute can be found for the neutralisation of the Black Sea. If, on the other hand, the Czar should propose to set the Treaty aside by force, Earl Russell declares that he must be met by force, and the sooner the better. ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. MILL. Mr. John Stuart Mill returns to the charge respecting the Treaty of 1856. Lord Shaftesbury, in answering Mr. Mill's first letter, some what misinterpreted the philosopher's opinion. Lord Shaftesbury understood him to have said that a country was not bound to observe the terms of a treaty unless they were so convenient that the country would be ready to enter on them afresh. Mr. Mill explains that he did not mean this, but said that a country was not bound to enforce the observance of terms which it had imposed on others, unless it would impose them afresh at the present day. "There is a wide difference,". says, Mr. Mill, "between affirming that I may break a promise as soon as it is inconvenient to me to keep it, and main taining that if another person breaks a promise made to me I am not necessarily bound to shed his blood." Treaties, he maintains, aro the proniises of nations, and in their breach there are all degrees of guilt, but the degree of Russia's guilt in the par ticular case before us cannot be decided offhand. Treaties, like other engagements, will be broken if they are imposed without limit as to duration, and mankind is only just beginning to find ' out that it is folly to exact , engagements for all time, and that anything to which a nation attempts to bind itself or others in perpetuity, whether constitution, dynasty, or irrevocable law will sometime or other be shaken off by those whom it oppresses. If we wish to colzbat the Russian doc trine with success, we should, says Mr. Mill, make no more treaties, except for terms of years. NATIONAL PRIDE AXE CONFIDENCE. The Bishop of Carlisle has delivered a spirited address at a meeting of the School of Art attached to his diocese. In his lordship's opinion Englishmen should take a national pride in all the arts they • had been enabled to render perfect, and they should also have a national confidence in- herent in theta when R ussian bears and other savage animals begin to growl. It was disgraceful,' the bishop thought, that men who knew that ,this great nation, England had keen blessed with an honourable name in history, and with magnifiCent resources of all kinds, should quail and exhibit a pitiful spirit if an angry look was thrown across the seas at them from the Continent. There used to be a feeling that Englishmen could bear the brunt of any foreigner; and boasts like these should have truer grounds to support them at the present day than in the past. MIUSSIA AND RUSSIA. The Continental Correspondence protests indig nantly against the notion that Prussia and Russia are in league respecting the claim of the latter to an alteration of the Paris treaty. "We may declare, without fear of contradiction, that Prince Gortschakoff's note was as great; and s no doubt, as unsatisfactory, a surprise to the Prussian Cabinet as to any in Europe. The GOvernment of Prussia would scornfully reject the idea of being made a party to so undig nified a proceeding. If Prussia's engagements clo not allow het tot the; moment to interfere, it will bit ifith mush Viet that she Withholds her Voice in the councils of EttrOVe.' Pew pefsdnA *ill believe, with the evidence before thorn, that Ru ssia has no agreement with Priissia, Mit this statement, at any kate strengthens the iiiipireision that Bismarck did not want the question opened at present. THE NEW M.P. FOR NEWPORT. Mr. Charles Cavendish Clifford, the newly elected member for Newport, is not new to parliamentary life, his experience as a representative ranging over the period from 1857 to 1865. The hon gentleman has considerable pretensions to a high literary dis tinction, and was for some years the private secretary to Lord Palmerston. He is the third son of Admiral Sir Augustus Clifford, and• was born in 1821. lie was educated at the Charterhouse School, Mid at Christ Olittrch, Oxford, where lie graduated B.A. iii 1842. in the sttcdeeding year he was elected a Fellow of All Souls l and Obtained tiii4 distinction of B.C.L. in 1846. Mr. Clifford was called to the bar in 1847. He has translated the "Frogs" of Aristophanes, and the . . " Prometheus Vinctus" of ihsehyltini his eleCticiii. for NeNirport is the first Liberal victory after a ran of ill-Wk. CABINET MINISTERS IN PERIL, Some interesting incidents are related of the 31st of October in Paris, and considerable ingenuity was displayed in the escape of two 'Ministers. M. Ernest Picard was seized by the rioters, who re quested hint tti give them an order which would put than in possession of the treasiiry Offices. M. Picard appeared to give consent, butt he stipulated that in order to sign the decree he must enter a small office, where he would find all that he required for the purpose. His request was made so quietly.that it excited no suspicion, and was imme diately complied with. Two of those who had asked for the order were commissioned to accom pany him. He went forward, passed through several rOOlll9, and led his companions to the entrance of a small office which had, as he knew, another mode of exit. Having reached this, he opened the door, and passing .through hastily, locked it after him. While his attendants were reflecting. upon their awkward position, M, Picard regained his friends. On the same day General Le Flo, the War Minister, was kept a prisoner in one of the saes of the Hotel de Ville, when he was suddenly informed of the arrival of the Breton Mobiles, who were his countrymen. He addressed the citizens around him with great coolness, and said that the Mobiles would certainly shoot all present in the Hotel de Ville. They would be lost if he did not stop the Mobiles for the greater part of them did not understand any other language than that of their own province. The General was accordingly set free, but no one was told the character of the speech he made to his countrymen. THE FRENCH PEASANTRY. The cause of the suffering French peasantry has been taken up with thorough earnestness by the English artists and amateurs in conjunction with several distinguishel French artists now in London. The undertaking, too, has met with much sympathy and substantial assistance from the academicians, and the general body of artists. The subscriptions to the fund already amount to £4OO. The exhibition'•com mittee intend to forward to Mr. Bullock, the distri butor of the Daily News fund, the proceeds of the French Gallery. It was originally intended that the exhibition should be held in the large upper room at the French Gallery, generously placed at the disposal of the committee by Mr. Willis, but owing to the large number of pictures tliat design has been abandoned, and the contributions will be shown at the gallery of the Society of British Artists. Greater interest will consequently be taken in the exhibition, and a selection of works by the eld masters and deceased British artists will lend an additional attraction to the undertaking. A CLERGYMAN FINED. The Rev. Philip Guille, rector of St. Martin, Jersey, has been fined £5 and costs for contempt of court. In June last one of his parishioners named Becquet brought an action against him under singu lar circumstances. The rector refused to allow Becquet to act as sponsor to a child which had been taken to the rev. gentleman's church, on the ground that he was drank. This refusal was accompanied by a peremptory order to leave the church. For this proceeding the rector in an action was• con demned to pay £5 as damages to his parishioner. At the trial Mr. (4uille conducted his own case, and wished to put a question as to the plaintiff's general habits, but he was not permitted to do so. This seems to have greatly annoyed him, and in order to give ex pression to his feelings, he published a letter in which he stated that, had his question been put, . - - the judges would have been in a better position to decide the case, and "to fulfil the solemn engage ment they entered into to dispense justice when they took their oath of office." The court viewed this letter as a serious libel upon them, and hence the proceedings, which resulted in a fine for contempt. ACTION AGAINST A U. P. MINISTER. The Rev. John Stark, minister of the United Presbyterian Church at Duntocher, cannot be credited with too much of those Christian virtues patience and forbearance. It seems that a meeting was held to consider certain pecuniary matters connected with a new church. A man named Garroway, and others who had made themselves responsible for the work to some 'con siderable extent, attended the meeting. For some reason or other u, disturbance . was anticipated on the part of Garroway and his companions, and the chairman of the meeting, without. waiting for any sighs of a, disturbance, ordered the men to leave. They refused, still maintaining a pacific attitude. The Rev. Mr. Stark, however, whose hostility to these ex-communicants (for such they appear to have been), is very conspicuous in the extreme action which he adopted, finding they would not leave, called in the police, and in the evening of a summer day they were marched as pri soners to the station-house. Mr. Stark insisted on charging them, but with what offence is not men tioned in the report of the case ; and told the police to detain them until the meeting was over. They were, however, released, and subsequently returned to the meeting, where they were allowed to remain in peace, a fact suggestive of the idea that the minister had on reviewing his conduct concluded he had made a great mistake. An action for damages was institu ted, and in the case of Mr. Garroway and another, damages were given against him. The remaining cases will be brought forward in a superior Court with a view to substantial damages. The trial referred to took place in the Small Debt Court at Dumbarton. NEEDLESS DINNER PARTIES. The promoters of the Smithfield Club Cattle Show have resolved to dispense with their annual dinner this year. It may be presumed that banquets following exhibitions of cattle and the produce of the field were originally intended as entertainments at which the judges should have an opportunity of deciding finally as to the excellence of the animals and the crops they had already passed a verdict upon during the show. This excuse, how ever, for a merry feast and jovial speeches it cherished, seems to have been lost sight of in late . years, and viands and fruits having no connection whatever with the show have filled the hospitable tables of the clubsmen. It is perhaps in a great measure the large eipande attending ban quets held after county shoWS that has operated so seriously in din ii the number of the latter throughout- England. We may perhaps here add that the forthcoming show d the Smithfield Club is expected to be' a most successful one. The attount of money prizes awarded by the authorities will be £1,380 for the thirty six classes of cattle, ROW for the tvrenty-five classes of sheep, and for the nine classes of pigs k 136, irrespective of the various plates and cups. REttoMAtoitie lota, A. woman nutted It4eley; Whose boy had been arrested for theft; and whose linsband Was a prison warder, declared; with startling assurance,. that sit out of every seven dthividis sift Millbank had had a reformatory training. She alleged that het husband had told her so, but when called before the edutt he . flatly contradicted her. Nevertheless, such a state ' ment was calculated to create a feeling of doubt and uneasiness in the minds of the philanthr,pic, and the Chaplain of the Philanthropic 'Society's Farm School at Redhill haS written to the papers on the subject. He assorts that to his knowledge at one time as many as 18 per cent., at another time as few as 4 per cent. of reformatory boys have been the average re-convict tic rts, thus disproving the statement so rashly, yet Confidently, made by Mrs. Keeley. Singularly enough ; the chaplain adds We once had under detentidn at Red Hill the son of another prison warder, who had to pay 4s. a Week towards his support here; and in this case, the mother of the boy maintained a chronic state of righteous indigna tion against our Morals/ discipline, and everything else at Red Will, so long ah the payments had to be made." The West Sussex Gazette charaotaistically observes :—We are, however, informed upon pretty tolerable authority that so tar as concerns Roman Catholio reformatories, about six out of every seven are re-convicted; although this will not apply to the Protestant institutions," INtOXICAtEb CADVitg. The picture of a nervous old lady asking a cabman if his horse was a safe one, in this week's number of Punch, does not prove that the inquirer was a very absurd personage. In the sketch the lady asks why the animal puts his ears hack—if he is " safe." The cabby, whom we take to be an Irishman, says the horse is only listening out of feminine curiosity to know what they are talkins about. It would perhaps be as well that every one should put a r question or two of this sort to cabmen, before entering their vehicles. A . rrench: lady, who apparently did not take sufficient precautionary measures of the kind, was on Wednesday evening upset in a cab in London, and received unpleasant injuries about the face. The cabman, it came out in evi dence adduced at a police court, was perfectly intoxi cated, and while labouring under the delusion that. his horse had "run away three times," he turned a corner sharply, and the vehicle, the occupant, the driver, and a quantity of luggage were upset in the street. The cabman, we are glad to say, was committed to prison for one month, and his license was suspended for three. THE PORTUGUESE AND THE NEW SPANISH KING. The candidature of the Duke d'Aosta for the Spanish throne has naturally been favourably re ceived in Portugal, where his youngest sister, Maria Pia, is Queen. At the opening of the Chambers at Lisbon the address in reply to the speech from the throne contained the following passage : "The Chamber has received with sincere pleasure the official notice of the renewal of diplomatic relations between the Government of your Majesty and that of the King of Italy, according to the desires of both nations, who respect each other, and of two sovereign families who are linked by the ties of relationship. Equal approval is ex pressed of the intention to continue unchanged our friendly relations with all foreign Powers. In the tremendous struggle raging between two of the most illustricus and powerful nations of Europe, the Government of your Majesty has adopted and maintained a strict neutrality, dictated alike by reason and by the sense of national security. On this solemn occasion the Chamber of Portuguese Deputies, obeying the impulse of humanity and moved by the interests of peace, and of the pros perity of the peoples, cannot conceal its ardent desire to see these disastrous conflicts succeeded by the bloodless struggles of science and labour." In Spai there is some doubt whether the Duke d'Aosta accept his election. onrt 7-- o r I , 1'4,.„ HEIR MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 24.

THE BLACK SEA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN. SIR,—A good deal of virtuous indignation has been ex pended by your correspondent, "S. R. B." and others, which might have been spared if they had distinguished between things that differ. Some subjects of agreement or treaty are in their very nature temporary, and necessarily subject to modification by circumstances. Others are of a permanent and abso lute character. The agreement respecting the armaments of Russia and Turkey in the Black Sea is essentially of the former class; and by regarding it as absolute and permanent, we do at once an injustice to Russia and an injustice to ourselves. If England suffers discredit in this matter, it will be from those hasty and _ _ indiscriminating politicians, who have rushed to the conclusion that we are bound to maintain an agreement which ought not to be upheld, unless by the continued consent of both the parties concerned. No European Power ought for a moment to be subjected to the humiliation of having such an agreement forced upon her. I hold that, from the very nature of the ease, part of the Treaty of 1856 respect ing the armaments in the Black Sea, must be regarded as binding only so long as Russia and Turkey choose to adhere to it. To force such a condition upon either of them would be, indeed, a "putting back of the times and the seasons." If we cannot interfere more wisely than in the enforce ment of an agreement which becomes unjust the moment it ceases to be mutual, the less we have to do with Euro pean politics the better. - Besides England, there were three powerful parties con cerned in the Treaty of 1856. Of these two would now be against us, one cannot help us, and the other parties to the Treaty cannot fight unless we supply them with the sinews of war. Yet our Quixotic friends wish us to rush into a conflict virtually single-handed in support of an agreement which, it is admitted on all hands, ought not to be maintained. It is no wonder that a few days' reflection has some what modified the extravagant tone at first assumed on this subject by a large portion of the press.—Yours truly, W. S. NOTICE. —KINAHAN'S LL.

The bankrupt having be en ~ called i and not answering, Mr. Shaen said he appeared f . ° ' the trustee. He had had communications with . 3A Murray's solicitors within a few days, and till o ; derstood that it was not the intention the bankrupt to appear.

A memorial had been sent to the Secrets"}' of State on the subject, and a favourable reply was h° for, and in the event of an arrangement to allovl . l Murray to come to England without fear of imprisoin nes it would be very beneficial to his creditors. The•ass et " g : it was stated, consisted entirely of claims that could on ly be realized by litigation, and were of the old far a d i estates of the late Duke of Buckingham. The que nti° 4 - was whether those claims could be enforced the present Duke of Buckingham.

The solicitor for the petitioning ere ditor asked that any pains and penalties to which the hat; rupt might be liable sho tilci be put in f orce.

It was for other parties to put the law further in motion.—The solicitor t g the petitioning creditor asked that the bankrupt might be called three times, which was done. • THE EDINBURGH DISTURBANCES. TRIAL OF THE STUDENTS. ' At the Edinburgh Police-court, Sheriff Hallard preou ing, Frederick Raes (Barony-street), William Jenkin s (Broughton-place), and William Hughes (Rankeiller street), three medical students, were charged with having committed a breach of the peace on Friday afternoon' They all pleaded guilty. Superintendent Linton said the, case arose out of the recent disturbances at Surgeonea Hall. Some ladies had been coming 'out of the hall, en the prisoners and others followed, them and made great noise. The Sheriff fined them £1 each, wit h the alternative of ten days' imprisonment, and in addition ordered them to find caution for £2 each. Wa• ltc :' Robertson, another medical student, was then placed 3v the bar on a charge of having committed a breach o f the peace at the same time and place, and also with haylo interfered with and assaulted an officer of police engag ed in the execution of his duty. He pleaded not guilty, and the case went to trial. In reply to a question from t ... „ 118 Sheriff; the prisoner said he was 18 years of age. - 13 ' M`Donald, a sergeant of police, was the first witnee l examined. He deposed that he was on duty wi th other officers in Nicholson-street on Friday afternoon' About a quarter past five some hundreds of persons O w ' lected opposite the Surgeons' Hall, and a disturban ce , took place. The three prisoners who had just left the b ° were taken into custody. Witness observed the prisene ° _, Robertson in the crowd. He was conducting himself ve" disorderly. Witness remonstrated with him, and the return he got was a kick. Witness took one of the three prisoners in the last case into custody, and Robertson go t hold of him by the shoulders and attempted to effect a rescue, calling on the crowd to do th e same. Prisoner: Did I catch hold of you and then kick you, or kick you and then catch hold of you ?—Witness You kicked me and 'then caught hold of me. The Sheriff remarked that it seemed to him as broad as it was long which operation came first. The prisoner said 11° intended to prove that it was otherwise. It was alleged that when the other prisoners were apprehende d Robertson wanted to rescue them. James blinto , another constable, said the prisoner was taking an active part in agitating the crowd, and f° l ' lowed the ladies when they left the Hall. The Sheriff, addressing the prisoner, said : I think that your conduct last Friday was extremely foolish, and I think your conduct to-day is scarcely wiser. The evidence leaves no doubt on my mind as to what took place. Ye n were very disorderly, you used violence towards the police , and you promoted to the best of your ability a riot that was going on, and that might have become dangerous . Now, if I did not know who you were—if you were the son of any other man than you are—l would be inclined to punish you with imprisonment. I should be sorry' however, 'to send to prison the son of a man whop) all Edinburgh had respected as much as they had done the late Dr. Joseph Robertson, and I should be sorry to be severe on the son. of a widow. But the son of the late Dr. Joseph Robertson should remember that he has a very honourable name to support, and should not give it any such notoriety as he has allowed it to acquir e in this Court. lam sorry to.see you here to-day, a nd •L trust I shall never see you in the same position again. Th e punishment is a fine of £l, or ten days' imprisonment , with -£5 caution or other ten days.

Since the inquest a few suspicious faetg have come to light, which may eventually lead to the capture of the murder. James Hollarn, 20, of Warring' ton, of bad character, and of poor means, was n o ticed soon after the murder to have in his possession a rather plentiful supply of pocket-money, which, to those who knew his circumstances was a matter of suspicion. The same young man disappeared from Warrington rather suddenly and was traced by the police to Rochdale . On Monday last, two sergeants from Warrington came over to Rochdale to make search, and Chief-Constable Stevens, sent out with them Detective-Sergeant Marshall . A little after midnight on Tuesday, Marshall found James Holism at 14, Rope-street, Rochdale, who, 00 being accosted, eyed the detective from head to foot, and said, " I know what you want me for. It is for the suspicious murder at Warrington." Marshall replied, " I did not say so." Hollarn then remarked, " No, you did not." The officers then took him i n t o cu st o dy, and 'next morning he was removed tb Warrington, where he be brought up at the adjourned inquest.
