Mr. COBDEN, no doubt, imagined that on Tues day evening he was rather hard upon Sir W. MOLBSWORTII. Taunting the Right Hon. Baronet with a speech delivered just fifteen years ago at a public meeting in Yorkshire, the member for the West Riding remarked—how wonderfully he should like to compel the Minister for Public Works to read n0t,.. , (in contrast with his observa tions made on the 4th inst.) his harangue of 1840, standing, as he did so, in locum, pcenitcntice, be fca HU - 11703 Of titnnmonS All this sounds very smart and very caustic, doubt less. But suppose for a moment we turn the tables upon this honourable censor of " the dis ciple of BENTHAM and editor of HOBBES." Sup • pose we retort upon Mr. COBDEN—how vastly pleasant it would be to compel him to walk across the floor of the House from his sung bench below the gangway and there to read over in his turn a speech delivered—not fif teen years, but scarcely seven years ago—not in the wilds of Yorkshire, but under the roof of the London Tavern, before a very crowded assemblage collected together to protest against the infamous course then being pursued by those Northern despots, whom the Member for the West Riding would now shelter under the wgis of. his flagrant inconsistency ! Has Mr. COBDEN forgotten what he then declared in the hearing of many hundreds of Englishmen ? Has he quite lost the remem brance of his famous clap-trap of 1849—when in the heat of his argument he exclaimed--" Call Russia formidable ? Why you could crumple it up as easily as I could crumple up this !"—turn ing as he spoke to the table near which he stood at the moment, snatching from it a fragment of paper, an old envelope, or something of that sort, and, crushing it up in his hand, as he hurled it down upon the platform in the energy of declamation. Is the incident lost entirely to Mr. COBDEN'S recollection ? Possibly it may be remembered by Mr. Alderman SALOMON; the Chairman of the 0303,31011. Possibly, too, the present Secretary to the Admiralty, then one of the most poignant thorns in the side of the Whig Administration, may recall to mind turning round while the little paper pellet was still dancing upon the platform, and saying, with a shrug of the shoulders—(was it not to the honourable member for Pontefract ?)--" Are we to believe all this ?" meaning the contemptuous assertions then being uttered by the representative of the West Riding as to the weakness of Russia and its general liability to be crumpled up like an old envelope. Yet Mr. COBDEN can now tell us from his place in the House of Commons—he can coolly declare in the hearing of Mr. MONCKTON MILNES and of Mr. BaRNAL OsseßNE—that it is his belief that we have entered upon a task the greatest, the most arduous, and the most perilous that ever a nation undettoik, that we shall have to double our energies, that we shall have to double the number of men en . gaged that we shall have to double the alnOunt of money annually expended, before we can hope to succeed effecting the ac complishment of our enterprise ! Very like crumpling u p Russia like a . handf ul of waste_ paper ! •Surely—surely when . COBDE N t a lk s like this in 1855 and like th a t i n 1849, he is about the very last person wh o ought t o rake up an old speech made fifteen years ag o somewhere in Yorkshire, and upon the strength of that old' speech to tax the Right Hon. Baronet the Minister for Public Works with inconsistency Inconsistency, forsooth ! Beyond all manner of doubt if any one can be charged with inconsistency it is the very individual who thus from his own transparent watch-tower hurls a stone in the direc tion of Sir WILLEA„ MOLESWORTH. Why never man blew hot and cold more notoriously than Mr. COBDEN himself has done in this matter of the Ruzgala Autocracy ! 4eaking in the London Tavern in 1849 he talks of crumpling up the whole Russian empire, he scoffs at the notion of Russia being regarded as in any way formidable. While now, in the House of Commons in 1855, he solemnly warns the country against the monstrous danger and the stupendous difficulty of venturing to oppose the CZAR by attacking a single one among his many strongholds? Are we not justified, we ask any impartial observer of these inconsistencies of our public men, are we not fully justified in turning upon Mr. COBDEN himself the taunt he has dis ingenuously directed against Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH ? In saying in reference to the member for the West Riding as he (Mr. COBDEN) said, rather spitefully, on Tuesday evening, in regard to the member for Southwark—"l should like to see him stand before that table and read that speech from beginning to end." Mr. COBDEN meant a speech delivered fifteen years ago —we allude to one made no further back than 1849 a speech made, - moreover, not in Yorkshire, but in London. We should uncommonly like to see Mr. COBDEN standing before the table of the House of Commons—not stepping up to it as by right from the Treasury bench close at hand, but dragged there (of necessity) in expiation, from his modest back bench below the gangway, there to hear him read that speech of his (made only seven years since) from beginning to end As with the foregoing, so was it with the rest of Mr. COBDEN'S apparently shrewd, but really shallow, and invariably disingenuous, arguments. When he charged Ministers with having lashed and goaded the country into a hostile attitude against Russia, he must have remembered per fectly well that, so far from having done anything like this, Ministers themselves had to be driven into a bold and resolute policy in reference to the AUTOCRAT by the sheer force of public impa tience and of popular distrust and indig nation. Lord JOHN Russirrx, he says, was the principal offender in irritating the multi tude at large into a warlike disposition. A file of our own journal would of itself be amply sufficient to prove the contrary. It would be sufficient to show plainly enough that the Noble Lord the member for the City of London had himself to be driven onward with the rest of them—the people, and the true representatives of the people (the independent journalists of England), being far in advance of a hesitating, timorous, and divided Government. Enough, however, of paltry sophisms such as these —sophisms that can be shredded from every branch of Mr. COBDEN'S argument, so to speak, by the handful—fruits of inconsistency as crude and as plentiful as summer blackberries. The detailed accounts of the successful expedi tion to Kertch have just been officially published. We have despatches from Sir E. LYONS to the 26th inst., from Vice-Admiral BRUAT to the same date, and also from Lord RAGLAN and General PELISSIER, in reference to the proceedings of the Allied Armies before Sebastopol. These important documents have, to a great extent, been forestalled by the more rapid tidings conveyed by the sub , marine telegraph. They will still, however, be joyfully received, and the details of these im portant operations examined with avidity. We now know that there is in the Sea of Azoff " powerful steam flotilla, of light draught of water, capable of cutting off the enemy's supplies, and harassing him at all points," and that we have also at our disposal the means of " sending in a vast number of gnu-boats of the lighter lraught, it it should bo found desirable to do so." The gallant conduct of Lieutenant M'KILLOP, which has already been rewarded by well-merited promotion, is also explained. England may well he proud of an officer whose gallant and dashing exploits " called forth the admiration of both fleets," and succeeded in preventing the escape of three of the enemy's steamers. There is a matter referred to by Sir E. LYONS which shows the vast importance of the, prompti tilde displayed in carrying out the objects of the expedition. He tells us that had it " been de ferred but a short time longer, there would have been many and great difficulties to overcome, for the enemy was entirely engaged in strengthening thi' sea defences, and in replacing the sunken vessels which had been carried away by the current during the winter months." The Russians relying ou the unfortunate procrastination so frequently dis played by the Allies were on this occasion " too late." It is only surprising that they were so, for, generally speaking, they never lost time, and the terrific losses to the besiegers of Sebasto pol have bftt too painfully illustrated the deplor able consequences of wasting or misapplying the golden opportunities that may be afforded. Had the troops dashed at Sebastopol before the panic occasioned by the brilliant successes of the Alma had subsided it is more than probable that a decisive result would have been achieved, that Sebastopol would have fallen into our hands, and the chief objects of the campaign been accomplished. The caution, of our generals, the prudence of Lord RAGLAN however, interposed an obstacle, and hence we have sustained far more serious losses than could have occurred during the most san guinary escalade. We were, however, " waiting for Austria," were relying on the moderation of Russia. The Peelites, with whose real sentiments we have at length become acquainted, occupied the chief places in the Cabinet, monopolised all the departments connected with the conduct of the War. With Lord ABERDEEN as Premier, Mr. GLADSTONE Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir J. GRAHAM first Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT. Secretary at War, and the Duke of NEWCASTLE (though we believe him to be far the best of the lot) Secretary for War; we have rea son to bo thankful that matters were not still worse, and that the nation did not sustain irre parable calamities through the vacillation, or worse than vacillation, of those who ignored the constitutional control of Parliament, and desired to retain the entire management of affairs in their own hands. We have also the graphic account of General PELISSIER of the brilliant actions of the nights of the 22d and 23d May, which inflicted such serious blows against the defences of the Russian strong hold, and occasioned such formidable losses to the enemy. The new Commander-in-Chief perceived at a glance the dangerous character of the works in course of construction by the enemy. He saw how, by timely action, they might be turned against themselves, and promptly and vigorously carried his views into execution. As the gallant officer truly stated, " the development of the lines was immense ; two successive phases were to be expected in the action—one of battle and ono of labour." The first act in the sanguinary drama took place on the night of the 22d, the second, which completed that which had been so vigo rously commenced, on the 23d. The victory was, indeed, decisive. The Rus sians, who were thoroughly aware of the impor tance of the position, defended it in immense force. But nothing could resist the impetuosity of the attack. The enemy, who displayed great gallantry, were driven back on every point, and our brave Allies remained masters of the hardly contested field. These are , indeed, glorious re cords, of which our people will be as proud as their faithful friends at the other aide of the Channel. The debate has again been adjourned ! For the reasons already specified we are not disposed to object to the postponement on a question, or, rather, - a series of questions, on which it is pecu liarly desirable that the House and the country should be fully informed respecting the views and feelings of the different parties. The anticipated Ministerial proposition has not as yet been made ! That is probably reserved as the trump card to be played at the last moment—to catch doubtful votes—and bring matters round to the point de sired by the Government. It may be produced this evening, as the division can scarcely be longer delayed, and in such a form as to afford Honourable Gentlemen a means of escape from the unpleasant dilemma of voting either for Ministers, or of exposing themselves to the anger of their constituents. It is to be regretted that Mr. ROEBUCK'S health prevented him from extending his remarks. His views were those of the great majority of the people, such as a true-hearted Englishman might promulgate without a blush of shame, or feeling that he was taking part with the greedy and unscrupulous enemy of his country. He administered a sound and well-merited castigation to the .ex-First Lord of the Admiralty, clearly exposing the gross and palpable inconsistency of which the Right Hon. Baronet had been guilty. The celebrated speeches at the Reform Club and the Mansion House were indeed strangely at variance with that more recently delivered by the political " Jar CRow." While in office, Sir JAMES GRAHAM thought it essential to the safety of Europe " that Russia should be crippled and her power of offence taken away." "It was not Turkey simply that we were called on to protect, but Europe, civilisation, and the liberties of mankind." What, then, has since occurred to change so completely the views of the Right Honourable Gentleman and those with whom he was then acting—the Peelite party—of whom he was an influential member ? Simply this : he has abandoned office because he dared not meet the inquiry into the conduCt of the War—an inquiry which would bring to light the extraordinary discrepancy be tween his " sayings and doings," and prove, beyond the possibility of doubt, that he had by no means acted in accordance with his profes sions. The " talismanic" words uttered by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, in his brief but excel lent address, would, indeed, have speedily brought Austria to a sense of her real position, and pre vented her from playing " fast and loose" with the Western Powers, from exhibiting such paltry vacillation, or scandalous duplicity in her deal ings with the Allies. " Poland," "Hungary," " Italy" are, indeed, words of almost magical power, which will, before the termination of the contest, not be merely whispered, but boldly and loudly proclaimed throughout Europe, and which will become the watchwords of freedom, the fore runners of good government. The seed thus sown will not, we trust, be choked up by Minis terial tares, but will be suffered to produce their fruit in due season. The speech of Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT was exactly in accordance with that which we should have expected from a semi -Russian, the nephew of Count WORONZOW, and affords additional grounds of satisfaction at the split in the PALMERSTON Cabinet which led to the resignation of the Peelite Members. He attempted to defend the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Carlisle, but sig nally failed in the effort. He endeavoured to vindicate himself and his quondam colleagues, but was equally unfortunate in that respect also. There were admitted facts which no amount of sophistry or special pleading could get rid of or distort. There was the circumstance that the seceding Members of the ABERDEEN Govern. ment bad concurred in the Four Points, which were plat forward as the bases on which negotiations could alone be conducted. The third and most important of these points related to the "limitation" of the naval power of Russia in the Euxine. How, then, could heventure to assert that " limitation was the child of after growth," not contemplated in the objects for which we origi nally entered on hostilities. It is true that before the - sword was unsheathed, before the public proclamation of War, we might have been con tented with " the abrogation of that network of treaties by which Russia held Turkey in her grasp, the abolition of that exclusive claim to a protectorate of the Christians, which would have given them a right of interference dangerous to Turkey, and the establishment of the freedom of the Danube !" We might have suffered the atro cious act of" brigandage"—we thank Mr. HERBERT for teaching u p s the word—of which Russia had previously been guilty, to remain unpunished. But when its nefarious designs have been so clearly revealed, when it is seen that she still maintains the aggressive policy, so loudly and so generally complained of, when France and England have declared the destruction of Sebas topol, the standing menace to Europe, or at least a limitation of the fleet that might be collected under the shelter of its fortresses, indispensable to the safety of Constantinople and the peace of the world, it would, indeed, have been an act alike unwise and. dishonourable to abandon these just demands, and to show that we had yielded to the supreme authority of the universal AUTOCRAT. The Right Honourable Gentleman also touched on a point with which his own name, has been greatly mixed up. It was hoped that an explicit answer would have been returned to tho interro gatory, so generally asked twelve months ago, that we should have known why " Odessa was spared ? " Unfortunately, however, he wholly ignored the proceedings of the spring, and only touched on matters commencing in October. The blame from that period is cast on the Generals— French and English—who, it is said, were, " for strategic reasons," unwilling that a bombardment should then take place. Nothing, however, has explained the causes of our extraordinary con duct in reference thereto at the earlier period ; and the silence of the party on whom the respon sibity has been attached goes far to confirm the accuracy of, or at least to show that there has been some foundation for, the sinister rumours in cir culation. The other speeches were of little importance. Mr. BRIGHT, as might have been anticipated, made a long speech, better suited to a 'Peace Society Conference than the British Parliament ; but such might have been expected from his pecular views; while Sergeant SHE; who also took the Peace Society view, thinned the house so con siderably that a "count-out" was nearly the result. We trust that the debate this evening may make some amends for the inanity of last night, and that we may hear bold and spirited counsels, be coming the chosen representatives of the English people.

DANTZId, THURSDAY. To-day her Majesty's ship Bulldog, Captain Gordon, arrived with mails from the fleet. , The British and French fleets were on the 4th instant close to Cronstadt. The Russian ships were nearly all dismantled in harbour ; only three steamers were serviceable. Admiral Saunders Dundas has been in the Merlin to get a nearer view of the fortifications and to satisfy himself as to the propriety of an attack it is said that be thinks it impracticable. New works have been added since last year. Sixteen Russian merchantmen, most of them loaded with timber, have been captured and de stroyed near Cronstadt, and others run ashore and burned. VIENNA, JurrE 6. The official Correspondence, in reporting the close of the diplomatic conferences, states that the Russian plenipotentiaries took the Austrian proposition into consideration, and that Austria is still ardently striving to effect a mediation upon the bases of peace laid down. Letters from Vienna state that Generals Craw ford and Letung, appointed military commis sioners of Great Britain and France' at the head quarters of Baron Hess, are about to return home, their presence in Austria no longer answering any useful purpose. ST. PETERSBURG, June fith.—General Gortscha koff writes from SebastOpol, dated the 3d, that nothing important had taken place up to that date, either before Sebastopol or in other parts of the Crimea. "On the 30th May," says the General, " the Allied fleet hauled off from Genitchi, and the Russian authorities hoped to be able to save a part of the supplies which had been set fire to on that pint. The same day the enemy's steamers passed before one of the ports near Arabat, and burnt a merchant vessel and some boats." According to the same despatch, the corps of General Wrangel, who was charged to watch Eupatoria, had not quitted its position near Arguim, and the Allied troops had made no movement into the interior of the Peninsula of Kertch. BERLIN, June 6.—Despatches from St. Peters burg of the 2d state that General Rudi g er has given orders that no merchant vessel, now in the Russian ports on the coast of the Baltic, shall put out to sea. The cause of this measure is that the English cruisers have captured fivemerchant vessels, bufnt one, and sunk another. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 2,L—Riza Pacha has just been dismissed, and Mehemet Ruchdi appointed Seraskier in his place. Derbohor Pacha, General of the Imperial Guard is dismissed and replaced by Selim Pacha. The position of the Capitan Pacha appears to be threatened. VIENNA, June 6.—According to a report which is current, the publication of a document relative to sending a part of the Austrian troops on fur lough is expected. The number spoken .of is 150,000 men. MADRID, June 6.—Marshal Espartero is gone to Aranjuez to-clay to lay before her Majesty the re signation of MM. Madoz, Lujan, Luzuriaga, Arruirre, and Santa Cruz. It is supposed that MM.

TURKEY. for accounts from Constantinople are to the 23th ult. The camp of Maslak will he renewed, :Jul occupied by a reserve of 45,000 men, a part of , 7hom arrived on the 27th. It is thought that Pacha has been reconciled to Mehemet Pacba.,- who ;s said to have received 500,000 piastres from the Sultan as an ,indemnity. A lazaretto -vas being fOrmed at the Dardanelles ; 1,500 wooden barracks have been ordered for the pur pose. Advices from Smyrna state that shocks of earthquake have lately been felt there, but without cau• , ing anv damage. Despatches from Trebisond of the 23d state that the Russian General Bassiliew, with a numerous suite, had arrived at Tabriz to notify to the Shah of Persia the accession of Alexander 11,, and to endeavour to persuade the Shah to maintain his policy of neutrality. The Russian corps encamped near Alexandropol has been reinforced by two regi ments of cavalry, but it is thought that the hostile armies will still remain on the defensive. A letter from Damascus of the 17th states that the recruits, forming part of the Anglo-Turkish Legion, having disturbed the tranquillity of the city by provoking the inhabitants, complaints were made to General Williams by the Pacha in such strong terms, tlit the general immediately waited upon him to enter into explanations." AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, in the Iheslau Gazette, says :—" We learn froin good authority that the Baron de Hess is to set off on the 6th for the army of Gallicia, and that on the 9th the Emperor will also proceed into Gallicia to inspect the troops." Another letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Ga zette, says :—The Emperor lately sanctioned a pro ject according to which the garrison of Vienna will be henceforth maintained at 30,000 infantry and cavalry. Orders have been consequently given for the construction of new barracks, and a credit of 800,000 florins has been been opened for the . pur pose. Other military buildings are in course of construction in other parts of Lower Austria, parti cularly at St. Hippolyte and at Kreus." SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, June I.—The appointment of Baron Manderstroem as Minister Extraordinary to the court of Vienna, is one of the most important events of this year for Sweden, as it may . fairly be called the hinge . on which our foreign policy will be made to turn. The King cannot be induced to depart from the neutrality he has hitherto main tained between the belligerents against the pres sure from France and England, and in the face of the most liberal offers and formal guarantees of territorial possessions made by those two powers. Austria having shown unmistakeably that she does not mean to take an active part in the war, the Swedish King thinks the time favourable for a closer rapproachment to the Cabinet of Vienna. Baron Manderstroem, who proceeds to the Aus trian capital, has for many years occupied the im portant post of Chief Secretary of State for the Department of Foreign Affairs. The chief object of his mission is to negotiate at Vienna, if practi cable, a sort of offensive and defensive alliance for maintaining an armed neutrality amongst the powers of central Europe, including those of Scan dinavia, Italy, and perhaps the South-west. The idea is by no means new, but circumstances had always interfered to prevent and mar the execution of this notable project. THE BALTIC. KONIGSBERG, JUNE 3. There are only three subjects that at present ex cite any interest in the public mind—trade, war, and the weather. Taking the last of the series rst, in orcler to indulge in a national growl and get rid of it —surely even the shores of the irr Balitat tic were never afflicted - with a spring so co, ing, and detestable. Up to the very eve of June furred garments had not been abandoned by the prudent, Ice dill ling ers on the banks of the rivers ; vegetation PS everywhere backward, an d the wind, like all our recent vexations, has conti nued to come from the north. There has been some improvement in the last 24 hours, and it is to be hoped Juno will justify its traditiu - 2 al charac ter better than May. . _ As to trade, which is in no slight degree affected by this unhappy season, a sho r t sojourn here con firms the impression that the commercial advan tages Prussia is deriving from its neutrality are b neither so great nor so decided as they are believed to be. The war has thrown a larger amount of business into two of the Prussian ports, but it is a transit business only, which the merchants do not consider the best or niost profitable ; it brings the agency 'Muses a commission and gives ad ditional employment to labour, but the profits of this kind of traffic have scarcely compensated for the depression of many 'others, which the war has affected injuriously. The stimulus has been exclusively local, and, in the places 'that felt it at all, only partial ; while on the general and regu lar commerce of the country the war has acted like a blight. Tho uncertainty as to the part the two great German Powers would take, and the extent to which Prussia might become involved in the conflict, even with the strongest disposition to re main neutral, everywhere paralysed the activity of ordinary times. In such a state of things the most enterprising will not" enter into speculations, of which the profit cannot be realised till a future and perhaps distant period. Even old and established enterprises are not extended at such a time. The loss caused by this commercial stagna tion is general, and the extraordinary impulse given to a single branch of trade in one or two autports is but a slight compensation for it. Dantzic has derived no advantage from the war, having had no part in the process by which our enemy's produce is safely lodged in English ware houses. But Konigsberg has obtained a large share of the export trade diverted from Riga. Lying much nearer the Russian frontier than Dantzic, it has also during the summer months a river communication with the Russian territory. It is at Konigsberg that Russia first be gins to be visible, in her vessels, produce, and people. The rudely-built barges discharging their cargoes at the quays of the Prussian city have come from the districts of Lithuania watered by the Niemen and its tributaries, and principally from the Governments of Wilna, Grodno, and Kowno. Descending the Niemen they pass below Tilsit into the Curische Haff, thence by a branch of the Pregel into the lower part of that river itself, which car ries them easily down to Konigsberg. This chan nel of commerce appears during the past year to have been used almost exclusively for the con veyance of hemp, flax, and tallow, to the exclusion of corn, since the year of war shows an actual de crease in the quantity of every kind of grain ex ported compared with the shipments of 1853 ; on the average the decrease is not less 'than 50 per cent. But the increase in the export of hemp and flax was sudden and enormous—from 63,000 cwt. shipped in 1853, the quantity rose rapidly to 248,543 owt. in 1854. As soon as it was known that the seal of a blockade was to be set on every Russian port, orders for Russian -produce poured in here from every country in Europe, and to the above extent had been supplied up to the commence ment of the winter ; the river navigation has not yet been open long enough in the present year to give any data by which the exports of the next few months can be calculated. ,In tallow the increase of the quantity shipped was still Greater than in the article of hemp. From the sea ely perceptible item of 475 cwt., which tallow contributes to the trade returns of Konigsberg in 1853, it swells to 133,758 cwt. in 1854. That was the quantity driven from Riga by the blockade to find an outlet through the neutral port. Russian rags, which do not appear in the returns of 1853 at all, elate found their way here, to the extent of 15,000 cwt. There was also a large increase in the export of bristles and rope-work, but by far the greatest bulk 'of business created here by the war consisted in the export of the two staples, hemp and tallow. The question naturally arises—What has_been the actual profit of the Prussian neutral from this Russian trade ? It can he only very imperfectly answered. It appears the resident merchants did not become purchasers to any great extent, the foreign dealers outbid them in the interior, and drove prices up to a point beyond what they con sidered safe. The increase of business then, as far as the Konigsberg merchants are - concerned, is that of agency and commission chiefly, by which, no' doubt, a certain amount of profit is scaled off every transaction ; but it is slight compared with the gain of the actual speculator, who has purchased at at a moderate price and realises all the difference between that and a high one, or that of the pro ducer in a time of extraordinary demand. The English " belligerent " may be pretty sure that a very handsome total of roubles has gone directly into the pockets of the " enemy," the Russian grower ; that the profits of the war trade are chiefly gathered at the two extremities of the line of traffic, and that the "neutral" intermediates have had little more than the negative satisfaction of " beholding it with their eyes." Indeed, the official commercial report ofiast year, after noting the in creased employment of labour caused by the war, admits with a certain acidity of feeling, that the business was only one of transit, and that therefore the money value of the exports for the year need not be given. Whoever profits' by it moat, the trade is going on actively, as the bustle in the port indicates, and the number of Russian river barges lying in the Pregel. These vessels and their clews contribute t marked feature to the " along-shore" population of the city. The crews. are Lithuanian serfs, and the captain always a Jew, which may seem sin aular to those who hare never connected " the people" with anything afloat, except floating capi tal. But it is neither Singular nor strange, where that acute and active race have so -much of the in ernal commerce of the country in their bands. Ihe Je .v captain frequently has the command of several vessels—a small flotilla—and may rank as a kind of admiral of the island streams. Towards the close of autumn his charge is an anxious one ; if overtaken by an early frost, his whole fleet may be. locked up in some dis tant river for the winter. Ice is the perplexity of all navigators in these latitudes, and anxieties, not altogether dissimilar to those of the Jew, have been felt, perhaps, by much, grar :er commanders. There.are captains now in these waters who will doubtless keep well on the outside ,edge Of the icy region when the season comes, and clear out betimes from all creeks and narrows, lest some belated Viper or Growler, caught as in a trap, should be captured by Cossack cavalry. Every Dundas and' all the Napiers forgive the supposition ! but the accident is possible : something like it once hap pened in the Texel, and the great Elector of Bran denburg marched a whole ariny across a broad arm of the sea on this very coast. The ice of the Baltic, as an unexpected and rapid road-maker, is not to be despised. • The crews our Hebrew captain commands are genuine serfs—rough, light-haired, unkemp, and dirty, wearing even in the dog-days the long sheepskin caftan, or a garment of the same cut, of sacking or very thick coarse grey cloth ; warmth in the outward envelope is plainly the • great object. A piece of brass matting, bound round the foot with • thongs, carried up the leg to hold together various fragments of woven texture that serve as stockings, completes all that is visible of his costume: The serf is a rough being certainly, and, as aforesaid, dirty ; but he is not abject in bearing nor sordid in look. He has nothing about him of that repulsive squalor which accompanies the dirt of illeness and mendicancy. He walks well, without the heavy lounge and stoop we 'call " boorish.;" lie is handy enough in all the details of his work, and on the water manages aperilous little punt with in finite dexterity. The citizens look on him as half a savage ; the boys, always less prejudiced than their elders, are more intimate, and trade with him in a small way in a currency of brass buttons which they know he covets. Rude as he looks, he is very fond of music, and is often a clever performer ; one great object of his ambition is to obtain a violin, which he may do here at the moderate price of 3s. English, instruments of that quality being manufactured expressly for his means. On the whole you feel a kind of respect for him, and are inclined to think his class would be deteloped into a good kind of peasantry by a few generations to whom hope and a property in themselves could be rendered possible. Konigsberg is a busier, lighter, and more cheer ful city than Dantzic; it has shaken the mid dle ages from nearly everything but its history. The great liberatpr, as usual, has been fire, which compelled it to renovate and be modernised. Some cities the destroyer visits in one greaa'catastro phe, which is called the "great fire" ever after : it was thus with London and .Hamburg. In Konigsberg he did his work by instalments, and the destruction was distribfited over a long space of time ; but the result is the same, — what is new of the city eclipses the old, and gives it its external character. It is a bright bustling seaport, to which the University lends a tinge of literature and learning ; it has admitted the inno vation of foot pavements, which the narrow streets of Dantzicsturdily resist. ¶lee environs are fertile and pleasant ; indeed the whole country bordering on the Baltic is superior in soil, cultiva tion, and scenery to the more sou thern district, the sandy monotonous plains of the Mark of -Bran clenberg, and nearly all the tract traversed by rail between Cologne and Berlin. The land is far richer ; the banks of the Vistula and its extensive delta are of extraordinary fertility, equal to the richest parts of Holland, which 'the flats from Marien warder northward much resemble ; like them, they are reclaimed marshes and swamps. From Stettin to the east, following the general run of the coast, thp landscape continues to improve. The country ceases to be so desperately level, and breaks into hill and vale ; vegetation becomes more varied, the beach appears, and the birch with its silvery bark . to hint of the north ; both- dispute the 1 the pine, which in the sandy south has had all the land to self ruly the old Teu bgerogiut, what _ tonic Knights were wise in their genera they abandoned the fruitless crusade against the Saracen to win such a fair possession as these pro- Hon when pro vinces from the Pagans of Europe. Though rumours cannot be trusted for facts, there is is a certain tone in the most vague from which the impreSsion events are producing may be inferred. The general tenor of the reports prevail ing here as to the state of affairs in Russia i themndicat is e that the difficulties are increasing : one of an extraordinary rise in the price of provisions. It is very possible the efforts Russia is making .on alt her frontiers are heavily paid for b y suffering ui theinterior of the country. M ay. st Rif.SSIA. We have received the t.
