Then let him judge how far he would consider a similar excuse justifiable. For instance, if his lordship's "man" should absent himself for a week en a mission of his own in the servants' hall, and leave the dressing of his lordship's hair to the French cook or the ' groom of the kitchen (we beg Sir George Grey's par don), it is quite possible that her Majesty's Secretary of State might not for the time be a loser by the change ; but what would he feel—what would he say ? Sep posing that his "Hyperion curls" were as admirably ad justed as they have been heretofore, would he think himself very unreasonable for refusing his assent to such an arrangement ? Would he wait for some instance of maladroitness to occur before he complained ? Would he be content with an answer couched in his own words to Sir John Pakington, "That he (the cook) and the scullion were responsible for what was done, and if there could be brought forward any charge of neglect they were ready to justify their course, and bear the blame for what had been done l" Would he consider that a justifiable' answer t The neglect is committed already; the greatest neglect that a public or private servant can commit, of being absent from his proper duties, to take up those which do not properly belong to his functions, And in that neglect Lord Palmerston himself is a par. t ;ceps crimin is. Why, what a shallow excuse is it to say that no harm has yet been done, and no neglect can yet be proved, when every sensible man will feel that it is not merely the injury incurred, but the chance and hazard of evil that may be incurred, by absence from his post, which constitute the real offence of a Minister. And we say at once, that the excuse urged by Lord Palmerston would be equally valid for any absence from duty, for any collusive arrangements of clerks in an establishment, or of servants in a household, if culpability is to consist only in the harm which actually has, or rather can be proved to have, taken place. When the injury has taken place it is too late to complain ; and that would be a very sorry policy indeed (though not altogether unlike Lord Palmerston's late doings) which should o n ly t ry to remedy evils when they have already occurred, and not provide against their occurrence. This is exactly the same argument, in kind and spirit, so familiar in the mouths of that Cabinet in which Lord Palmerston held lately a subordinate station ; they, too, complained bitterly of all remonstrance ; they would have silenced all reproaches by the same maxim ; they, too, in the spirit of this veteran Po/oaius, would have barred the door when the steed was stolen. In the meantime Lord Palmerston and Sir George Grey have quite enough to occupy their thoughts and their time with the duties of their respective offices, without taking upon them the duties and responsibilities of another. The nation has not demanded this at their hand., nor will it accept their responsibility. It will be time enough for that when the administrative talent of the country is at so low an ebb that, faili ng t h e press nee of Lord John, no other Colonial Secretary is to be had. The country employs its servants, of whom Lord Pal. merston is one, in the same way as Lord Palmerston or any other gentleman employs his, and rewards them by honours and emoluments for special purposes ; it requires of them, in return, the performances of special duties— it expects that neither it nor its dependencies should re ceive injury, or be exposed to the hazard even of receiv ing injury, so far as the vigilance of its servants, and their attention to their respective duties can prevent such hazards. But that duty neither Lord Palmerston, nor his colleague Sir George Grey, nor yet Lord John Russell, are strictly fulfilling; they are faithless to the trusts severally committed to them ; Lord Palmerston and Sir George Grey, because the time devoted by them to the Colonial Office ought to be solely devoted to their own special duties ; Lord John Russell, because he is neglecting the obligations imposed upon him when he accepted office. We care not whether the colonies have complained or not—whether any overt act of neglect can be proved against Lord John's lieutenants or not-- his way of managing, or rather mismanaging the public service, is the greatest neglect and the greatest evil that can befall the nation—an example of confusion and dis order in the highest and most dangerous place. What more would Palmerston have ? Can nothing short of open rebellion constitute neglect or wrong 3 THE POLITICAL INFLUENCES SURROUND ING THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER 11. (Font the Daily News of this day.) The telegraphic messages from Vienna, which on Tuesday encouraged several large capitalists to purchase extensively in the funds, and sent up the prices of pub , lic securities to a height that yesterelay found them un able to retain, were dictated—on the most charitable interpretation—more by the wishes than the knowledge of the persons who transmitted then. Both purchasers and their correspondents believe in the speedy advent of peace because they desire it. They hope for it, in de fiance of every threatening sign to the contrary in the political horizon. The Emperor Alexander is surrounded by the same statesmen and the same political influences as his father. The promotion of General Rudiger is ominous ; for that able and experienced soldier, though a German by birth, has become thoroughly Russianised, and has adopted all the sentiments and maxims of the Sciavonic party. 'Within the private circle of the young Emperor, there are only two persons from whose influence over his mind good results may, with any degree of con fidence, be augured. The one is the Empress, the other Baron Lieven, who has been charged with the mission of formally announcing the Emperor's accession to the Court of Vienna. Both are deservedly listened to by Alexander ; but what are they when opposed by a nu merous faction, strongly entrenched in the most impor tant offices of the State ? The footing on which the new Emperor is likely to stand with the Courts of Berlin and Vienna must also be taken into account. The vain and facile King of Prussia will only bo the more firmly knit to Russian in terests if allowed to believe that he exercises over the mind of Alexander somewhat of the same influence that Nicholas exercised over his own. The young Emperor bears such a strong resemblance to his uncle in mind and disposition. that it will be easy for the intrignanti of the St. Petersburg Court to lead him to assume a compliant and deferential tone in his intercourse with the King of Prussia, by which he will be enabled to guide that mo narch, under the pretence of being guided by him. A. similar game will be played with the Emperor of Austria. The domineering manner adopted by Nicholas roused him to assert his independence ; the camarilla which rules the new Czar will take care not to fall into the same mistake. All the fawning duplicity which Rus sian statesmen and diplomatists know so well how to hung into play will be exerted to alienate the two Germat Powers from the Western Allies, and re-cemeat the union of the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Governments. Al most the last words uttered by Nicholas were a charge to the bystanders to convey to the King of Prussia his dying injunction to abide by the instructions of his father's will. The passage in the document alluded to is as fol lows :—" Beware, my dear Frederick, of the mania for innovation which has become so prevalent ; beware of many impracticable theories that have been propagatcd but beware, at the same time, of an error that may be equally fetal, an exclusive predilection for antiquated institutions. It is only by avoiding these two rocks that you can introduce really useful improvements. Main t in, as= far as depends upon you, a good understanding with the other European Powers. Above all, may Prussia, Russia, and Austria never be divided ; their union is the security for the peace of Europe." This advice must be read by the light of the character of the Prince to whom it was addressed. The antithetical balaneg between undue predilection for innovations, and undue attachment to the obsolete, means more than the usual seesaw slang of those who seek to mask an inveterately obstructive policy by semi-liberal phrases. It was intended to warn the mediwvalist that there is danger in any movement, whether it be back wards or forwards. Only in death-like immobility i.a their hope for despotism. The testamentary injunction of Frederic William 111. of Prussia is a very incarnation of the spirit of resistance to all change, however bone tfihcei al . alliance A nd o t f h e l)r prayed u ssi e a r , breath Russia, a f n o d r t A h n e s tperpetuityet is of ex pression of that King's conviction that nothing else could render the power of the three despots of these States firm and enduring. In obedience to the dying words of Nicholas, every art of Russian diplomacy will be exer cised to reconcile the three great champions of Absolut ism ; and not, so far as present appearances go, without some chance of success. The language of Austria has again 'Rooms suspiciously tinged with procrastination. There is imminent danger that the conference at Vienna m ay prove as dangerously and disgracefully protracted and aimless as the earlier conferences on the great Eastern difficulty. But the English Premier and his noble plenipotentiary at Vienna, may rest assured that the country will not again tolerate their allowing them. selves to be entangled in the meshes of such stale diplo. matio falsehood. • EN'GLISIIy FRENCH, AND BELGIAN PORTS. ----Tito tollowe tboeeannamfardoera showi ng the aggro.

OUTINE AND RED-TAPISM. (From the Times of this day.) Some of:, our readers may possibly have fancied that in deuouneit ig the pedantic system of routine observed in the adi ni nistration of our military departments we were ratl: ,a r unreasonable ; that regularity, after all, must be a necessary element in public business, that strict met 'hi id could hardly do much mischief anywhere, and that off icial formalities of some kind were absolutely requisite, tip ]less every office was to become a centre of confusion. Now, if these ideas have ever been enter tained, we - think we need do little more to correct them than simple y repeat two pieces of evidence delivered be fore the C 3 mmittee of Inquiry now sitting. His Royal Highness ti 'le Duke of Cambridge deposed that on one occasion, • ie bile the army was in Bulgaria, being anxious to see that his men were properly supplied with food, he desired an officer to get rations for them from the head quarter 031 mmissariat. "The first day he sent," con tinued his Royal Highness, "although the men were in want of t b eir daily rations, instead of sending these ra tions at of si ce, the commissariat sent a printed form to the officer I or him to fill up. Hence there was consider able delay, and then, not satisfied with that, the officer was suppc,al ,d to bare put down one or two more hones than he wai t entitled to. Instead of sending the rations for the mesa and pointing out the inaccuracy in the re turn of heal es, they would send no rations at all, be cause the 14 rm was wrong. Upon that the officer came to me, and: I desired him to go with his animals to get the rations. and put matters to rights, and he did then get them VII at day, although very late. As it turned out, the cee imissariat officer was wrong, and there was no mistake: . in the return at all. ' General Dentinek's evidence is,, if possible, even more striking. "On one occasion," said the gallant officer, "a voucher was sent back to me: (i.e., from the commissariat), because it was signed half an inch too low. I then took the liberty of say ing that if' this ever occurred again I would have that commissar, turned out of the service. The difficulty never did ccur aftim-wards " Be it observed that these "difficult: e 3" were attributable almost wholly to the system ani I traditions of " the department," insomuch that the she of Cambridge makes an especial distinc tion in fa% , s iur of the personal deserts of the Commissa riat officers attached t 3 his division, and stated that when any "difficulty of the department" occurred they zealously irried out his instructions in endeavouring to surmount f t. The same was probably the case in other divisions o f the army also, but the system was too strong, au' so elaborately had our practice been me thodised sit i to be found useless for the realities of service. But at ird ,Sf, it may be said, such a system must needs secure eco n only an,' certainty, if it does nothing else. Our depar tr (lents, if slow, must be sure, Nothing can be wasted,, lost sight of, or diverted from its proper des tination. On this head, too, we can produce a very per tinent illu el ;ration, collected from the evidence of the Duke of C mbridge before the committee and the debates of Monday • evening in the House of Commons. Of course, it will be •,very well recollected that when about this time twe' w emonth our expeditionary army was on its way to the East, a scheme was conceived of supplying the troop 3 with malt liquor. This was not an ordinary practice, b tit it was very reasonably argued that what conduced t the health and strength of the soldier at home wo•al d do so abroad ; that, if rum was not the most wh( ;some beverage in London or Dublin, it was not likely • to 1e so in Turkey, where the heat would be much gee ater and the service mere exhausting, and if our tr cops were to be supplied v. ith liquor imported from hot ne they might as well have some of the best. If cur recollections do not mislead us, cer tain emine: nt brewing firms offered to facilitate the exertions. c f Government in this matter by deliver ing sound: beer or porter at Constantinople or Varna with verT. reduced profit to themselves ; but, at all events, • nalt liquor was to go o u t, an d people here comfort( al themselves with the reflection that our sol diers, s% 'cltering under an eastern sun, would get their draughts ..of the national beverage almost as regularly as at home,. Well, the porter was sent; but to what pur pose ? Thanks to Colonel Boldero, we can do some thing trow; ards tracking the erratic and costly course of four of till tee precious cargoes, and the reader, we hope, will be edi fled with the narrative. Cargo is To. 1 was sent to Malta, but arrived too late, for the ti ops had proceeded to Varna, and to Varna therefore :it followed them. So far Colonel Boldero and the Seci!e - ,ary of the Treasury are agreed as to the facts ; ias the Guards, according to the Duke of Cambrid gs 3's evidence, did get porter at Scutari and Varna, vt 3 may presume perhaps that this or some simi lar cons it •nment was duly consumed, though Colonel Boldero a. .leges that Government had to pay no less than 1,935/. d't murrage upon it. Cargo No. 2, however, as the Colo: a el affirms, having been despatched from this country is n March last, was lying untouched at Constant tinoplo is t the beginning of last December, the vessel having 'at ,en engaged at the rate of about 4801. a month. Cargo 2.4 - c 3, having been loaded in June, was discharged on the 14 th of December at Scutari, and cargo No. 4 was al so. discharged at Scutari, demurrage having been inc , urred en both. It does not appear that any re srt,ion of these consignments reached the Crimea., 'but we infer from the Duke of Cambridge's evidence that there did exist the means of supplying at least as portion of the army while in Bulgaria with tl its valuable ration, for his Royal Highness states that the Guards did not get their porter because:, as the whole army could not be served with it, it was not thought advisable to make exceptions in favor ar of a particular regiment. Perhaps there was good hatention at the bottom of such a resolution, though, if our stalwart Guardsmen do really, as was al leged, s uffer more than others from the loss of this liquor, the men of the line might have acted like Clive's Sepoys a t Arcot, and magnanimously surrendered their share of sustenance to those who were even less able than the mselves to do without it. But what is to be said of the management displayed in this matter—of the s:fistvin which, though absolutely crippled with the weight of its own formalities, cannot yet insure the ac comp liehrnent of so simple a matter as the proper de livery • and distribution of a few casks of porter at certain place: s in the Black Sea ? The operation, one would have tanci;d, was about as simple a piece of business as need be. 1 'arliament was ready with the funds, brewers with the article, and ship -masters with the vessels ; whereas, as frx as we understand, not only were the troops in Bulg. aria and the Crimea left without a drop of the be verage provided for them while shiploads of it were lying at C onstantinop!e, but the country has to pay heavy chargass for the loss of time and trouble incurred by such proc( ;eding. If the demurrage on one cargo alone amounted to near 2,0001., what was it upon the whole ? Coull anything in the world be more discreditable to a bush terms-like people than such management as this ? Porter is sent out for the troops, but the troops never get it, because it does not arrive in eufficient quantities for general distribution, and, in the meantime, the ordi nary charges of the venture are multiplied by additional costa arising out of the delay I It is little wonder that, while the estimates are so large, the army is ill-provi sioned and the country dissatisfied, for not only do we fail in carrying out our arrangements, but we contrive somehow, with a singular perverseness of ingenuity, to make this failure more expensive than success. LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT VIENNA. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) Among the various expedients adopted by Lord Pal merston to bring the Administration and aristocracy of this nation into contempt, he could have devised none mere successful than that of despatching a Colonial Se cretary to Vienna to negotiate the basis of a peace. With the usual flippancy which begins now to sit awkwardly on a man of his years and position, Lord Palmerston seemed to imagine that his reply to Sir J. Pakington's objection was amply sufficient, when he assured the right hon. baronet that the Government did not antici pate a longer stay on the part of Lord John Russell "than was necessary to settle the general principles of a treaty. The details would not detain him ; they would be left to the adjustment of another." Now, it is enough to urge in proof of the futility of this answer, that all things have indicated on the part of Lord John, if he be not greatly misrepresented, an anticipation of a protract ed absence. He has sent for his family to follow him ; he has made preparations for remaining at Vienna. Lord John is not a man to whom a stay in a foreign capital is a novelty ;he is n ot so young that absence from his family until Easter only is so unsupportable a grie vance. But what a ridiculous excuse ! Settle the basis of a negotiation 1 Why, has not this nation been settling this basis already—if ever, indeed, it is to be settled—off and on for more than the last two years ? Has not Vie pu blic mind been continually amused by the four points—by Vienna notes — by general and by special arran gements, first with ono power and then with the other—till plain men are in a maze, and neither gover nors nor people very clearly comprehend the actual con dition in which matters stand ? Have we not had already a tolerable specimen of the fruits likely to result from diplomacy in the success reaped by Lord John 'at the very outset of his negotiations ? But whatever be the result, this, at all events, is certain, that if Lord John is not to return to this country until the basis of a treaty be determined, the colonies are not likely to reap the benefit of hie public services ; and whether complaints, and just grounds of complaints, are arisirg, or shall arise hereafter, whether the condition of our colonies is such as to satisfy the nation or not, Lord John is not at his post. His energy and his talent, how ever well employed, are not employed as Colonial Mi nister ; and the colonies as Mr. Lowe would have them, may work out their political problems themselves as far as Lord John is likely to assist them. Let us not blink the matter. If the Colonial Minister can be absent at Vienna, and wholly occupied in other duties than, those which belong to his office, a Colonial Minister is a use less incumbrance. Whether any complaint has arisen, or is likely to arise, does not affect the question. It is acknowledged by all parties that there is at this moment much dissatisfaction in many of the colonies, insurrec tion in some, war in others. If the Secretary for the Home Department is sufficient for all the duties of his own ' Ese, a. .d 'or the arduous taAs of insra;ing Cie colonies under their present circumstances, let us con solidate the two; then Lord John may play the Pleni potentiary a t Vientia As lon ty he pleasoP, glad settle talQ -
