WIND, S.S.W.—Light, with fine shining weather and strong thaw. or no confidence, could be satisfied by the substi tution of the younger for the elder DROMIO— that so slight a shuffling of the cards could content the People. No. Were it really solely meant .as "no confidence" in the Government, it could scarcely be supposed that the shuffling of the pack and trifling change of position of two Members would have reversed the prevalent opinion. The ex-First Lord of the Admiralty dis covered an additional and, if well founded, most cogent reason against proceeding with the inves tigation. It might, forsooth, offend the Emperor NAPOLEON, imperil our amicable relations with our faithful and highly-prized Allies—the French People. And who is it that has made this dis covery ? The Lord of NETHERBY, the Member for Carlisle, who made on the hustings a speech pregnant with the most scurrilous, wanton, and uncalled-for vituperation against the august personage about whom he is now so tender. If Louis NAPOLEON had that littleness of mind, that pettiness of purpose, which the Right Hon. Baronet so unwarrantably assumes, his own ap pointment, and that of Sir CHARLES Woon, who, on the hustings at Halifax, committed a similar offence against good feeling, would have been fatal to the Alliance. Sir JAMES GRAZAM is certainly the last man who should put forward such an argument. We hare heard the ostensible reasons for the abandonment of office. We fear, however, that there was something left unsaid that might truly have been put forward ; that it might have been stated that the Peelite Members of the late Cabinet were not willing to serve under any but a Peelite Premier, and that the earliest op portunity was taken of aiming a decisive, or what was intended to be a decisive, blow at the PAL MERSTON Government, with the view to the speedy return of the dissentients, with GLADSTONE in the much-coveted position of First Lord of the Trea sury, and the undisputed ascendancy of "Peelism.' Although we heard the explanations of the retiring Members of the Government last night, we know nothing of the intentions of the remain ing 'Members of the Cabinet. It is true that Lord PALMERSTON declared that " until they find that they have lost the confidence of Par liament and the country, and that tie nation is disappointed with and condemns them instead of being disposed to support them, they will exert themselves to the utmost, and would not fly from the posts where the confidence of the Crown had placed them." This is all very well—but it is unquestionably rather vague, and the nation wants something more than a piece of declamation, however smoothly worded. Some degree of in formation ought to be afforded as to the progress made in filling up the gaps occasioned by the se cession of so many influential members of the Government. A new edition of " Who's Who," in February, 1855, would be peculiarly valuable at the present crisis. It is said that negotiations are going forward to secure the assistance of Mr. CARDWELL, who seems to have been promoted to the situation of " indispensable," vies GLADSTONn, superseded; that the cashiered ABERDEEN is conducting the negotia tions to induce the Right Hon. Gentleman to withdraw his refusal to the proposition already made by the Premier. It is also doubtful whether Lord CANNING can be induced to remain as the only Peelite in the Cabinet—" left blooming alone." The ex-Premier is said to be exceedingly desirous that the leaven of Peelism should remain in order to afford a loop-hole for the return of those who have " taken the bit between their mouths and bolted." And Lord PA.I.- 'resseirenefis nibbling '"at the insidious bait, If he desire, indeed, to retain—we should rather say, regain—the confidence of the nation, which has already been seriously, if not irretrievably, compromised, he will break up the connection and shake off the entire lot I It would be well to be assured that he is not negotiating with Mr. BRlGHT—that we are not to have the accession of that Honourable Gentleman to a seat in the Cabinet, as a demonstration that Lord PALMERSTON is not more disposed to seek for " peace at any price" or on any conditions even than his good and excellent predecessor himself. The Member for Manchester certainly assumed airs of extraordinary self-importance. He sprung forward to catch the Speaker's eye the moment that Sir JAMES GRAHA➢i 'sat down, as if he too had !‘ explanations" to offer, a defence to put forward, or at least sup port to tender to the unexpected convert to Peace principles. Lord PA.LMERSTON appeared to regard the matter in this point of view. He went out of his way to allay the apprehensions of the Hon ourable Member—to assure him that there was no change in the conditions laid down by the late Government, indicating. pretty clearly the nature of the instructions given to Lord JOHN RUSSELL in his mission to Vienna. It was not .for this that the Noble TiSCOUIIi was selected from his late colleagues ; nor is this the course that will induce the House or the country to yield unhesitating confidence to any Administration he may please to nominate. If he wish to obtain such support he Must display greater energy and determination than he has as yet evinced—must prove that' he is , possessed of the qualities for which the country gave him credit.

Well, " the deserted " trio have offered their explanations. The House of Commons patiently listened to the complaints • put forward by those who considered that it was not only the duty of their fellow representatives to stultify themselves, by rescinding the vote previously carried by an overwhelming majority of more than two to one, but of their Ministerial colleagues, to run counter alike to House and country in order to gratify their untenable demand. Sir JAMES GRAHAM has branded the remaining members of the Cabinet as the deserters, because nine or ten did not submit to three or four, and Messrs. GL A DSTONE and HERBERT assumed a similar position. They wanted, in fact, to be supreme in the Cabinet—to reduce the pre sent Premier into a mere cypher, like the good and excellent ABERDEEN, who, while denominated First Lord of the Treasury, cared little in what manner or by whom the duties of the situation were discharged—who only sought the name of power, while lie delegated its exercise to younger and more vigorous hands. In this they were dis appointed. Lord PALMERSTON felt that he had already sufficiently fled in the face of public opinion by the formation of a Government so identical in every respect with that which had just been censured and dis missed from office, that even a microscopic exami nation could not detect the slightest distinction ; a Government that professed to be impressed with the same opinions, and resolved to persist in the same policy, as its cashiered predecessors. He could not go further, he could not do more, than inti mate a desire that the inquiry should be post poned or allowed to remain in the hands of Government. When the unpalatable nature of the alternative was so plainly perceptible— when it must have been obvious that it would have been a suicidal policy to have staked the existence of the modified Cabinet on a determined Opposition to the formation of the proposed com mittee, the PREMIER yielded, and had every reason to anticipate that those who had so re cently agreed to hold office under him would have exhibited equal deference to the popular voice. They, however, thought differently, and hence the speedy destruction of the PALMERSTON Cabinet ; and the elaborate explanations of the three gentlemen, who, notwithstanding the pos session of great oratorical powers, totally failed in the attempted self-justification, or in inducing the House to believe tha they had acted fairly towards their colleagues ; or were undeserving the appellation which they had so indignantly repudiated. It was not alleged by any of the Right Honour able Gentlemen that, before giving in their adhe sion to Lord PALMERSTON'S Government, they had made any stipulation, or even inquiry, as to the course to be adopted in reference to the impending COMMittee.tllll". GLADSTONE went even further--for, in an explanation, elicited by the Powerful and brilliant speech •f the Right Hon. Gentleman the member for Bucks, he distinctly declared that "it was never made the subject of stipulatish at all." What shadow of excuse, then, had they, or any of them, for assuming that the inquiry would be resisted, even at the expense of another humiliating defeat, another s tinging censure? Had they really resolved not to submit to the demand. of th© Home they should have clearly and explicitly stated their intention, an d a fforded Lord P.s.ratriatrrox the opt i on either o f declining the task of form' g an Administratio n, or of strivin g to make it 1 1 ,: r f ee t in the first instance, when all the re-ele z ti„ s might have been got over at the same time. This point alone is sufficient to decide the verdict of the House and country on their conduct. They have attempted to rest the decisive vote of the 29th January ou distinct grounds—that many of its supporters regarded it merely as a vote of censure, and supported it fur that purpose, with out any desire to have the investigation carried out. 'Without assenting to this proposition, or admitting that a matter is to be taken, by a species of Parliamentary fiction, in any other than the ordinary and common-sense meaning of its terms, we may ask, Does it justify the notion that the demand of the House for a change of Adzaiaistration—the effect of a vote of censure, ,~-~ THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1855.

A messenger who left Eupatoria on the 17th Feb., and performed the journey from Varna to Bucharest in 2G hours, brings the following despatch : EUPATORIA, FEB. 17. The Russians attacked Eupatoria this morning. They were commanded by Liprandi ; and their numbers were 20,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. They commenced the attack an hour before day break, and had with them 70 guns. The conflict lasted three hours. The assault was signally repulsed. The steamers threw shells among the assailants. The Russians have 500 men hors de combat, the Turks 150. Omer Pacha commanded in person. Selim Pacha was killed. Vast masses of cavalry and artillery are now as sembled round Eupatoria. VIENNA, FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. 23. It is related in this city to-night that a Russian attack on Eupatoria has been repulsed. This news requires confirmation. BERLIN, FRIDAY. Last eveniag, the special committee of the Se cond Chamber toted the war-credit by a large majority. The committee proposes—first, an address to the King, which, according to their sketch, is to express their dread of isolation, and the conviction of a policy based on that idea is the only guaran 7 tee for the future of Prussia. Secondly, a rejection of the prolonged credit de manded by the Government. This second proposition was adopted by a coali tion of the Right and Left Extremes against the Moderate party. "VIENNA, SATURDAY, 9 A.M. According to the local papers, the Russian Ge neral Mansuroff, who has recently arrived at Brussels, is the bearer of the cession of the Russian possessions in North America to the United States for $30,000,000. M. de Titoff is expected here from Stuttgart on the 28th. ODESSA, FEB. 15. It is true that some small French mines have been destroyed by means of counter-mixes, but with great loss of life on the part of the Russians. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. Lord John Russell leaves Paris to-morrow morn ing for Berlin, on his way to Vienna. His lord ship, yesterday had an interview with the Em peror. It is said that the Imperial Guard has received orders to prepare for foreign service, as well as several squadrons of the Guides. . _ M. Thiers has met with a serious accident. Of the Emperor's departure not so much is now said as for the last few days. But though people do not speak so much of the departure, it is net because they have ceased to believe in it, and con demn it. The latest accounts are that his Majesty , is as resolute as ever, and that in answer to re monstrances made only yesterday by a diplomatic person, he observed, " Your arguments and your objections are precisely the same as those offered by the Ministers, but the army is suffering, and it is my duty to be with it." The only thing now doubtful is as to the day of his departure ; some affirm that he leaves on Monday, others fiz a pe riod more distant. All the journals are forbidden to publish the speech of Berryer at the Academy. The Presse had previously struck off 5,000 copies of the first halt. The speech contains an allusion to the degradation of the Roman people under the Lower Empire, and this is supposed to be the k e y to the unexpec ted blow. The Siecle is seized for an article by Eugene Sue, de s c rib iuga bil atiMMftge t Y-- e - Of the-luxury officially called prosperity, calling it Belshazzar's Feast, and demanding when shall we read " Mene, Tekel, Upharsin I" The Toulonnais states that iu a short time 25 gun-boats will be completed, and 20 of them will be supplied with steam-engines oflso-horse power. At the late reception of M. Berryer at the French Academy, it was remarked that M. Thiers and Count Mole were absent. M. Thiers has had his arm broken in two places by a fall, and Count Mole hail for some days been Cohfined to his hogs° by indisposition. - BOURSE, Fin. 23.—CLosura PRICES. Caah. fr. c.

SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 23. The steam-ship Madrid, of the Peninsular ant Oriental Steam Navigation Company, Captain Neil Cook, with the usual Peninsular mail, in charge of Lieutenant Charlton, R.N., Admiralty Agent, arrived this 23d day of February. Her dates of sailing were :—Gibraltar, Feb. 16, 6.25 p.m.; Cadiz, 17th, 10.30 a.m.; Lisbon, 19th, 0.50 p.m.; Vigo, 26th, 6.05 p.m. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. This afternoon the United States mail steam ship Pacific, Capt. E. Nye, arrived in the Mersey from the United States and British North America. She sailed from New York on the Bth instant, having been detained by a snow storm. Her pas sage has been ♦ery severe. She has brought, be sides the mails, 40 passengers, and half a million dollars in specie on freight. MAILS FOR AUSTRALIA. General Post-office, Feb., 1855. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany being unable at present to resume the conveyance of the mails for Australia, via Singapore, the Postmas ter-General has made a contract with the owner of the sailing vessel Blue Jacket, to convey the mails of March next round the Cape of Good Hope. The " Blue Jacket" is appointed ti sail from Liver pool on the 4th March next, and all letters and newspapers for New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Van Diemen's Land, posted in London up to the evening of the 3d March, or posted or re ceived in Liverpool up to the morning of the 4th March, and not addressed to be sent by any other vessel, will be forwarded by the "Blue Jacket." The packet rates of postage will be chargeable on let• tern, but newspapers will not he liable to any postage. Those postmasters whose instructions direct them to forward letters to Liverpool by cross post, will send in the same manner, on the present occasion, letters posted at their offices, addressed to Australia. MINING INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Mining Journal of this day.) The weekly reports of the Mining Share Market might almost be stereotyped, " the same as before," such is the absence of " interesting disco /cries," or of " exciting features," either in the mines or in the spirit of speculation. The young mines, however, still keep up their periodical of otl iecrs b eing calls, which, i n man y cases, are so ill responded to, that it would be better to stop o p era ti ons a lt oge th er t h an to go on i n a manner so unsa ti s f actory. Without money m i nes canno t b e made, and those share holders who pay up promptly complain loudly of the injustice allowed to remain so l ong i n arrear. w eather, also, ie nod* crippling operations a t th e mines. - d MA RKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed tamely. About 6,000 bales were sold, including 1,000 for export. The market for Railway Shares was very dull, without any particular alteration in BUCHAREST, FRIDAY.' I prices. The further changes in the Ministry encourage the expectation that the half-and-half blockade system will be speedily terminated, and our enemy dealt with in the way most effectual for crippling his resources. The fallacies of Mr. Cardwell have been freely commented upon by the Baltic mer chants, and the following observations of Messrs. Smith and Charles serve to show the view taken:— " Mr. Collier's long-expected motion on the Russian trade was brought forward by him in the House of Commons on Tuesday last. The object of the resolution, of which he on a former occasion gave notice, was to prohibit the overland traffic. For reasons assigned by him he now cofined himself to a request for certain statistics, which was wanted as a matter of course. A debate of the deepest interest, however, ensued ; and it is, we think, impossible to peruse the masterly speeches of Mr. Collier and Mr. Mitchell without being convinced that by far the shortest if not the only mode of bringing the war, with all its horrors, to a close, is to pro hibit the trade with Russia. Mr. Cardwell's reply was for the most part occupied with an able exposition of the prin ciples of political economy, but it was altogether beside the question as to whether or not the prohibition of the trade is calculated to bring the war to a close. He did, however, attempt to grapple with the details furnished by Mr. Collier and Mr. Mitchell ; but in doing so he confounded arrivals hero with purchases and payments in Russia—a fallacy which, in one sentence, Mr. Collier exposed, utterly demolishing the superstructure he had erected upon it. We sincerely regret, with Mr. Mitchell, that the learned member for Plymouth should not have persisted with his resolution, convinced as we are that he would have had a large majority—a conviction which was materially strengthened yesterday by the leading articles of two of our most influential journals, one of whom speaks of the ' present state of things as grossly inconsistent and flagrantly dishonest ;' the other of the Prussia neutrality as fradulent, permitting as it did the smuggling of Russian produce through her dominions.' One great principle at least the debate in question has elicited and established, viz. That a neutral is not justified in creating and facilitating a now branch of trade' (e. g. in the ease of Prussia, the overland traffic) for thp purpose of benefiting one of the belligerent states, and thwarting the restrictive measures of the other' (e. g., our blockade). To exaggerage the importance of this truth is impossible, nor will it bo suffered to ho dor mant by the people of England. It demonstrates that we have all along dealt too leniently with Prussia, permitting her to violate an international law : it places in the hands of the British Minister Plenipotentiary an irresistible argument for compelling Prussia to re linquish the overland trade ; it furnishes that country with a reason for so doing, which, with the Czar, must be an swerable; and, finally, to him who would send capital to Russia for a supply of goods, it is a most significant intima tion that the key has been discovered wherewith the Russo , Prussian frontier may, at any moment, be locked. The sub jectl proved that the trade of Russia has virtually sustained no injury by our blockade, in consequence of the traffic bang allowed to pass through the Prussian dominions. It has been proved that, to bring the war to a close, the trade of Russia must be prohibited. It has been proved that there exists an international law of which the Allies can avail themselves to compel Prussia to close her frontier against Russian produce. It follows that if the Allies do not avail themselves of this law they will be answerable for the lives which will be sacrificed by such prolongation of the war as might have been avoided by their insisting on the law being observed. But such a supposition is almost inconceivable. We may, therefore, conclude that this stipulation will be in sisted on in the negotiations with Prussia. If she refuse, it is a cases Lelli, and the trade will be stopped by our block ading her ports; if she consent, the trade will be stopped by herself." The position of the Bank of England remained comparatively steady during the week to the 17th instant, and, in the absence of an increased de mand for money, and with the exchanges compa ratively favourable, the sum of the precious metals was augmented. The amount to the credit of the Government was decidedly larger, but, unless means be taken to replenish the Treasury, the out lay will rapidly absorb the receipts, and leave a much smaller balance than usual towards the close of the quarter and prior to the payment of the dividends. Compared with the previous week the changes are as follows : Active circulation £19,246,155 Decrease 281,820 Bullion 12,980,786 Increase - 223,026 3,335,840 3,290 4,898,602 434,733 10,174,871 127,555 894,885 63,806 11,538,227 20,425 14,584,340 - 17,351 7,067,075 531,685 "The foreign eieltaiagen were very firm yesterday afternoon. Bills at 90 days on Paris were taken at 25 30 to 35, on Amsterdam at 11 171 to 18, on Hamburg at 13 6 to 6.1-, and on Trieste at 12 50 to 13. The bar silver by La Plata has been sold at ss. lid. per ounce. The supplementary estimates brought forward within the last month do not appear to be all in cluded in the totals for 1854-5, and if this be the case, the expenditure for the present year end ing April next will be larger than would appear. The supplementary estimates for army, navy, and ordnance were 9,481,0651., and it would be desirable to know if this all stands in the account as regards the year to April, 1856. There is no present ambiguity, though future supplementary estimates may occa sion an addition. The totals for 1855-6 are these—. Army Navy Ordnance Transport £37,427,003 This is about twenty millions more than during time of peace, the transport item being, in fact, newly created ; and for the ensuing year a revenue of about seventy millions will be requisite to esta blish an equilibrium with the outlay. There is scarcely any business doing in the English Funds, but the quotations are firm, the reported repulse of the Russians by Omer Pasha's army having a good effect. Consols have been 91 to f for transfer, and 91i to for account. The New 3 per Cents. have been 91i to g, and the Reduced 91k to g. Exchequer Bills continue at 6s. to 95., and India Bonds at 15s. premium. Bank Stock for account is 214. Foreign Securities have been quite neglected, but are firm in price. The Spanish Certificates have been quested 4'2. Turkish Bonds are firm at 75,t to 76. Dutch 21 per Cents. bring The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 to 6 ; Mexi can, 21 to 21t ; Peruvian, 70 to 71; ditto Three per Cents., 50 to 51 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 41 to 43 ; Russian Five per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 87 to 89 ; Spanish New Deferred, 17 1 1 1 to 18 ; ditto Three per Cents., 36 to 363 ; ditto Certificates, 43 to 5 ; ditto Passive, 41 to 4g. The Railway Share Markets has been rather looking up, although the transactions have been on a limited scale. Caledonian, North-Western, and South-Western are higher. Foreign shares aro quiet. East Indian are rather higher. In the Colonial and other mining shares there is nothing doing, and the Banks and Land Com panies' are also dull. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES.

RECALL OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL—It was last night not only affirmed, hut believed in the best-informed quar ters, that Lord John Russell had been recalled from Vienna. The reason assigned for his Lordship's recall was, that his presence was necessary in London, to whip up and drill the 'Whigs, so as that they should be able to give an effective support to Lord Palmerston's Administration. As our Ambassader, Lord Westmoreland, still remains at Vienna, the recall of Lord John will not interfere, in any way, with the negotiations-for peace. Morning Advertiser. MR.

The House of Commons ought to feel very much flattered. Never did any body hear so many compliments as were lavished upon it by three of i.s own members last night. Those members had to explain how it was they foiled themselves in the singular position of quitting the public service rather than acquiesce in the decision of the house twice in a fort night. Something like humility might have become the occasion, for when the house had come to its decision by a majority of two to oue there was some presumption, not only that the house would stand to its own act, but also that the act was a good one. It would appear, however, that the house has lost character both for sense and for consistency with its own servants, for they are surprised to find it as contuma cious and obstinate as ever. They tell it gravely, that its decision, virtually unanimous, was unconstitutional; that it was the duty of Government, not of Parliament, to inquire; that it was playing into the hands of the enemy and damag ing our alliances ; that it had caused an absurd and improper resolution avowedly only as a stalking-horse for the censure and overthrow of the existing Administration ; that, like one of the monsters of mythology, it was merely ravening for a victim or two, and ought to be satisfied for the present with the two " blameless" statesmen thrown into its maw. All this was very delightful for the House of Commons to listen to from its own spoilt children. A Cabinet that presented so nearly identical a composition as that which had retreated before the just indignation of the house stood on tender ground. It had, indeed, to explain. Last night, how ever, we were told that it rested with the house of Coin mons to apologise and repent. It was the real offender. Soniebely had to do penance, but it was not the Ministers who presented themselves once more in the face of a recent censure, but the censurers themselves. As there was no con siderable change in the intervals of the new Government, we naturally concluded that it had at least renounced the worst part of its identity—its resistance to the desire of the house, which would have renaered it a new administration ; but these gentlemen expected the house to change rather than themselves ; and as they find themselves once more mistaken, they have yielded to the rebuke which themselves have provoked. _ All that the public will see in this special pleading is an elaborate attempt to make the judge change places with the accused. If the House of Commons will only be so good as to give up inquiry on a vague promise of amendment, that will remove the very unpleasant stigma under which certain gentlemen find themselves. This is worth something, so no kind of appeal, however extravagant, is omitted. The House, we are told, has not the right t, inquire. Who then has that right, and why are constitutional governments to be denied a privilege amply used by the autocratic ? But it is feared we shall endanger our alliance with the French if we tell all. If anything is to damage the character of the French, or to wound their vanity, it is these dark hints that they have somehow caused our misfortunes, and that but for them we should have avoided the disasters hitherto ascribed to simple bad management. • The Freud have different views on the subject of blockade from ourselves, a different military or ganisation, a different staff, a different commissariat, and a different system of siege operations from our own, but on no point that we are aware of have these differences affected the condition of our own forces, nor need they enter into the inquiry. What, then, is the posit on of the House of Commons, and what has it dwindled to, if it is not to begin inquiry till the war is over and there is a general oblivion of follies and crimes ? If all it has to do is to vote away the public money, twenty or thirty millions aolay, as it is doing just now, it may as well at once abdicate its func tions, and permit the tax-gatherer to be the only medium be tween the Government and the people. The estimates which it is taking on trust, as well as the votes for past expendi ture, are something portentous, offering the most ridiculous contrast to the work done for the money. If that money hail been properly applied every private soldier in the Crimea would be living at least as comfortably as a gentleman with an independent income of 3001. a-year and a good club. Ho ought to have at least as good a roof over his head, as good a bed to lie on, as good a wardrobe, as good a breakfast and dinner, with a much better amount of medical care, in the event of anything happening to him. We ask to inquire how is it that the man who is the special object of this enormous expenditure and these delicate attentions rots in a puddle or a ditch, houseless, half-naked, famished, with the clouds for his canopy and the mud for his bed, reckless, and almost forgotten; and the gentlemen af fected by the inquiry, and some who should know better than to join them, get up and talk by the hour feeble stuff about the British constitution, the French alliance, the secrets of war, the interruption of public business, and the hope that those things will not occur again ! Why, this inconvenient, dangerous, unconstitutional, trea sonable demand for inquiry, has already done more for the reform of our War Administration than has been done since the year 1815. It is very true that a Government can work more quietly and more effectually than a committee, and, what is more, Government, under fear of a committee, is working more quietly and effectually. Every day is now bringing us the gratifying announcement of some change in the right direction, which would have cost any minister his place ten years ago. But while there is the greatest anxiety to make the army as efficient as possible, every day brings also to light seine blun der, some omission, some difficulty fatal to success. Mr. Drummond, for example, says that in the new transport ser vice just organised and sent out the harness was forgotten. Our own correspondent in the Crimea writes that the boots lately sent out are of such bad material, so ill-made, and so much too small as to be already useless. The other day Lord Palmerston excused the destruction of our cavalry by famine on the ground that twenty days' forage was lost by the storm of the 14th of November. That was known in this country by the 30th of that month at the latest, and it would have been easy to convey any quantity of forage to Balaklava by January 10, at all events ; but Lord Raglan, writing on February 10, that is a month after, says " Forage is our only want, and this arises chiefly from the Commissary-General not receiving from England the supplies of hay upon which he had reckoned." Let it be observed who are the men who would bribe Parliament off its old functions of inquiry witk their own promises of reform. Sir James Graham has been a political chief and a professed reformer, alternately in office and opposition, for twenty-five years. Mr. Sidney Herbert has been thirteen years in office, part of it Secretary at War, and therefore as well acquainted with eur military expenditure as most people. Mr. Gladstone has also has been very long in office, and all last year, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, had under him the Commissariat and Transport services, which last Lord Pan mure emphatically asserts to have been no shadow, but to have had a substantive existence. Now, if a Government could reform its own administration, if it could dispense with the authority, the researches,,and the direct action of the house, and if it had the hearty desire which these three men claim for themselves, why have not these reforms been done :long ago ? Why did the late Administration present itself to Parliament last December with the reforms which their own melancholy experience had taught them Were necessary ? But, in fact, they have sunk under the difficulties of administra tive reform. They avow themselves beaten. All that they can do is to defy the House of Commons to get to the root of the matter, and to pronounce the inquiry " an im mense sham." Nay, the inquiry is not the only imposture, in their opinion. They do not even believe the truth of our dis asters. They set aside the concurrent evidence of ten thou sand letters, and refuse to believe that of a noble British army scarce a third remains iu the Crimea. ixcept where. another reason was avowed, we should certainly think it unfair to ascribe the votes of members on the late division to any other than an earnest desire to get at the root of this hideous mismanagement. This is the universal feeling of the country, and when Lord Palmerston says that the country has taken up this aspect of the question from the house, that is only true in so far as the country had the feeling already. In fact, the country will know all about it, and that in time to do some good. Its painful curiosity is best expressed in a phrase with which Sir James Graham has supplied us. We hoar that a British army has all but perished through want of food, clothing, and shelter, six miles from a port filled with our ships, and we want "to know the reason why." The Englishwoman hears that her husband or her son has perished from destitution, while all the wealth of England was being poured out for his aid, and she wants " to know the reason why." Fathers and mothers of noble or gentle birth hear that their gallant sons, in spite of clothing and comforts sent in vain after them, have died the death of a vagrant, famished, diseased, frostbitten, wasted away, and they want "to know the reason why." The House of Commons votes away millions upon millions, and sees huge sums down in the estimates for great-coats and other warm clothing, food, fuel, stationery, medical stores, porter, roasted coffee, and such comforts, of which only a few driblets have reached our perishing countrymen, and it wants " to know the reason why." It is too clear that the House of Commons will not learn " the reason why" from the ex-Ministers who addressed it last night, nor from any Government inquiry : The House of CoMmons alone can elicit " the reason why,".and we enter tain no doubt that it will do so. If it fail to do se, the country will not hesitate to ask " the reason why" from the House of Commons itself.

A letter from Berlin of February 21st - says the newspapers, more particularly the French journals, contain a variety of statements as to treaties having been already concluded by the Western Powers with Prussia, but I can only repeat what I wrote to you a week ago. It is confidently related here, it is true, that a draft of a treaty had been proposed in Paris by General Wedell, in which the distant contingency of a participation in the war on the part of Prussia was involved, but that the Emperor had made a counter-proposition, in which that contingency was made consider ably less remote ; on which General Wedell sent his Adjutant hither for instructions. It is fur ther related that the King had given instructions not to accede to such a treaty ; nevertheless it is at the same time believed that when it comes to the pinch, he will give in also to that. I am not in a position to tell you how little truth there is in this and similar reports; but I believe I can confidently state that no treaty of any sort has been signed, and nothing beyond preliminary inquiries have as yet passed ; nor do I apprehend that anything like actual business will be done till after Lord J ohn Russell's arrival. At present the Government seems to me resolved not to enter upon any treaty whatever, involving a co-operation in the war, whether as a more or less remote contingency, un til after Prussia has been admitted, in common with the three Allies, to define the extent of application to be awarded to the four points. The Govern ment is willing to co-operate to a certain extent with the Allies, and the King is excessively desirous to re-enter the European concert, but as both are conscious of not understanding and intending so, much as the Allies, under the head of the third point, they require to have the whole extent of their obligations specified and defined beforehand, ' that when, at some subsequent stages, more may be required of them than they are willing to afford, they may thereby be shielded from the charge of breach of treaty, which might otherwise involve them in trouble, perhaps in war, with their own Allies.
