The C o tt on Market at CITY Liverpool ' yesterday closed heavily. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales (1,500 of which were on speculation and for ecilexrpoarnt)s., 7 Fair Upl an d s at 60., Gid. and id. per lb. Th e sa l es o f t h e week' have amounted to 46,630 bales. The Railway Share Market continues to exhibit a downward aspect, and prices were fully to s per cent. lower than on Thursday. The state and prospects of the tallow trade, so intimately connected with the Russian war, are summed up as follows in a communication from Messrs. Smith and Charles : " We h.ve now arrived' at that period of the season when the prospects of supply and demand become de veloped. As regards the former, the additional facili ties afforded by Ruisia and Prussia have effectually set aside the blockade of the Baltic as far as commerce is concerned ; and we may, therefcre, expect to receive the whole of the production of Russia, viz., about 75m.. ! .. asks new, and 10c. 12m. casks left over last season. F rom Australia we do not anticipate large supplies this yearage. "As to demand there can be no doubt that the trade la very bare of stocks, and this fact may he safely placed against the excess of our stocks in pitblic warehouses. " The h ome production is smaller than an average, and will continue so throughout this autumn ; and this being als o t h e prospect in France, we expect the con tinental demand for foreign tallow will continue through tut the ensuing season. a " Politically, we might possibly see some prospect of termination of the war, it every measure were adopted to bring pressure on the enemy ; but whiht the Govern ment allows our blockades to be set at nought without an effort to prevent it, it cannot be expected that the war will be so unpopular in Russia as we have the power °f making it. W e are g l a d to see L or d Alb emar l e an nonnces his intention of agitating this questi,m, again early next session. The advices we receive of the nature "f the return cargoes from Memel, &c., into the inte _ t w ic r of Russia, by license of the Prussian authorities, tiou:d rouse the indignation of any man capable of set t a higher v a l ue on h uman lif e t h an h e wou ld upon t a l , l _ l( w , hemp, & c. ; and we trust, with Lord Albemarle, he t '4 the Gov ernment may even ' before next session see , fnecesslty of adopti ng more v i gorous measures i n re ,ard to the trade of th e enem y. At th e same ti me we tr , we mu s t not expect any movement of this kind from e present Ministry."

P the guarantee, but Wished it should be several instead of joint, while others thought We aught to have made Turkey d - ,,tesent of the money altogether. '',#)mo feared we should embroil ouilelves with Turkey about the pribeipal ; others that we should quarra wish France about the interest. We do not pretend to undervalue these objections and opinions of men versed in finance, atid though they could not all be right, their schemes had quite as mtieh plausibility as that which Ministers adopted. But we must express our un feigned astonishment at the conclusion which the authors of these appeals drew from the several financial formula; they adopted,—that the convention With France was to be an nulled, the guarantee refused, and the Emperor of the French lowered in the eyes of his Legislature and his sub jects by having been made to propose to them the perform ance of a treaty which the Parliament of his ally subsequently refused to ratify. We wish to believe that men are some thing better than mere arguing machines, and that there does reside somewhere in the human mind the power of comparing and weighing objections, and giving effect to thosewhich carry with them the greatest weight. What but the pedantry of finance or the madness of faction could induce any man to consider that any number of objections of detail were to be weighed for an instant against the awful responsibility of interposing just and serious causes of disagreement between the two great allied Powers of the West ? If the de liberation had been on what should be the manner in which the pecuniary necessities of Turkey should be relieved, such arguments would have been extremely proper and revelant, but they became mischievous to the last degree when the question was not upon the terms on which a treaty should be made, but whether or no a treaty already existing should be carried out. It was nobody's fault that the question came be fore the house in this shape. Ministers could not consult Parliament befere the treaty was concluded, and afterwards they could only ask Parliament for its ratification. The real question was whether it should go forth to Franco and to the world that this country, with all its pretence to good govern ment, had really no Executive at all, so far as foreign affairs were concerned, and that a friendly power which dealt with either of the factions into which we are divided must do so at the risk of finding the agreement which it had entered into with one party disowned and repudiated by the other ; whe ther we should solemnly proclaim to Europe that we are a people with whom no terms should be made, because by us, at least, none would be kept. There was great danger, it would be said, that popular government was as impotent in diplomacy as in war, and there was danger that the Emperor of the French, finding himself thus slighted and deceived, should withdraw from an alliance in which the loyalty was all on his side and the levity and vacillation all on ours. And this frightful risk was run at the suggestion of men considered prudent and cautious—men for ever divid ing and distinguishing, and regarded, not without rea son, as holding a high place in the list of our states men. The danger is past for the moment, but it may recur any day, and must return often. Those who levelled this blow at the French alliance were themselves leading members of the Government which contracted that alliance ; those who thus seek to ruin the prospects of the war ware among the foremost to involve us in it. We respectfully sub mit to the House of Commons that it is high time it should make up its mind definitely on the subject. If we mean to succeed in war, we must make up our mind to support our Executive in its transactions with foreign countries, be they ever so erroneous, not out of regard to any party or body of men, but because, if we do not do so we must inevitably strip this country of her allies ; fortunate, indeed, if we do not convert them into enemies, and oblige her to maintain an isolated struggle in exchange for the advantages of combined and harmonious action. If Government loses our confidence we can remove and replace it by another, but in our dealings with foreign States we should respect it to the very last, be cause by repudiating its acts we cast dishonour and discredit upon ourselves. Our foreign policy should know no party. If we cannot obtain for ourselves this sacrifice, we are unfit to enter into the community of nations, and unworthy either of their confidence or our own. We feel quite satisfied that had some unlucky chance turned this slender majority the other way, or should it happen that iu the passage of the bill through Parliament a coalition between the Peace Party, the seceders from Lord Palmerston's Government, and the more unscrupulous portion of the Opposition attempt to renew a manoeuvre so nearly successful, the country might safely be appealed to to express its opinion on this attempt to strip it of its allies, to lower it in the estimation of Europe, and drive it into an ignominious peace by repudiating the acts of its Government, and offendinq rashly and wantonly the just sus ceptibility of a faithful and honourable ally. Lzasin CompanF Closing PrIOCF yesteriay. Rnsmess this day. MR. ROEBUCKS MOTION. ( Front the Press of this day.) The divison on Thursday night will, of course, be treated by the Government officials as a triumph and as a proof of confidence; but we are persuaded that neither Lord Palmer ston nor any one conversant with party tactics in the House of Commons views it really in any such light. The motion was Mr.' Roebuck's motion ; he sustained it admirably, and is well entitled to the thanks of the country for having brought it forward. Still, it was Mr. Roebuck's motion ; and it cannot be denied that there were several consider ations involved in it which naturally disposed some among the Conservatives to hesitate in support ing it. It related to bygone transactions, and was represented as conveying a personal censure, amount ing to ostracism, upon honourable men. We do not admit the force or justice of the argument; but such as it was, it was calculated to create a feeling, we might call it a pre judice, against the motion. The amendment was proposed and seconded by an avowed members of the Opposition. General Peel, the mover of the amendment, went the length of declaring that he was ready to join in a direct vote of want of confidence, and that he thought the time was come when Lord Derby ought to be called upon to form a Govern 'lent. The amendment itself implied a modified censure upon the Government. We are not aware of a case until now, in which, on a vote of censure, the Government had recourse to the miserable expedient of supporting the previous question—moved, not by a friend, but by an avowed political opponent. These two considerations natu rally influenced many Conservatives, inducing them to pre fer a modified expression of disapproval as regards Govern ment rather than a direct censure, affecting not only Lord Palmerston and Sir G. Grey, but extending itself to Sir J. Graham, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. S. Herbert, who bad already voluntarily submitted themselves to the penalty of their Mi nisterial delinquencies. Under this impression we find some of the most consistent members of Lord Derby's party voting for the previous question : Lord Barrington, Lord Chelsea, the Egertons, Mr. Horsfall, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Tollemache, Mr, Repton, Sir John Walsh, Lord Robert Cecil. With such men voting against Mr. Roebuck's motion, the division certainly cannot, under the circum stances we have stated, be considered either as a Ministerial or as a party triumph. And the debate ! We scarcely remember a debate more damagin g to a Government. Those on the Treasury bench , from the Premier down to that wretched clique who excited their patron, actually shrank under the indignant denunciations of Mr. Bright. Sir Jas. Graham, too, gave expression to opi nions respecting his late colleagues, not, we tbink, calculated to make them feel comfortable in their seats ; while Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Whiteside exposed the miserable and pitiable position in which his reckless ambition has now placed the once popular Lord Palmerston. There is nothing, we repeat, in the debate or division on Mr. Roebuck's motion calculated to dishearten the Conser vatives, or to lead to the suppoSition that there exists among them any division or want of unanimity, and nothing, cer tainly, calculated to inspirit or give permanence Co this ricketty Government. On the contrary, the debate cannot fail to add still more to the disgust which is becoming the strew: , feeling of the country as regards Lord Palmerston and his Government. In the Lords their position was even more discreditable and humiliating. The Scotch Education Bill, almost their only measure for the session, carried after frequent divisions through the House of Commons, was actually repudiated by the Government itself. They had not courage to support it, and were driven to the. disgraceful alternative of voting against their own measure. Will the Lord Advocate resign? SUNDAY BEER BILL. ( From the Morning Advertiser of this day. ) It is a question which it would not be very easy to decide, whether the unanimous testimony of the metropolitan-police magistrates to the oppressive working of the Beer Act of last session, or the evidence of Sir Robert Carden and Mr. George Cruikshank, given with a view to perpetuate that vexatious measure, is most calculated to benefit the cause of the Li censed Victuallers. We have already exposed the utter want of truth in the assertion of Sir Robert Carden, that not one in eu of those who enter public-houses after ten o'clock at night, is honest or respectable, but that such persons are chiefly thieves and prostitutes. We have pronounced this statement to be a slander against a most respectable body of men, as groundless as it is injurious, and we have called on the body so grossly and gratuitously calumniated to demand of Sir Robert Carden that he shall withdraw his slanderous imputation. Unless he does, and that speedily, wo repeat what we said yesterday,—that ho is unfit to continue in the discharge of those magisterial functions which the chapter of accidents has confided to him. Entertaining the opinion he ex pressed on Tuesday respecting the character of those who enter public-houses after ten o'clock, how could he be expected to ad ministerj ustice to any person who mightbe brought before him, charged with some offence, provided that person was ascer tained to be one who was occasionally to be found in the par lour of a public-house after ten o'clock ? The very fact Would prejudge his case. Ho might be a man of the highest respecta bility, and innocent as the child unborn of the charge preferred against him, but this "worthy" magistrate—" worthy," by courtesy so called—regarding him as disreputable, dishonest, and a thief, would necessarily be prepared to regard him, presumptively, as capable of committing any other offence. And where a case is prejudged we all know how slender is the evidence which would be required to convict the party. We say, therefore, that it is equally due to the licensed vic tuallers, so unjustly defamed ; to the impartial administraticit of justice , and to Sir Robert Carden himself, that he should withdraw the calumnious charge which he preferred on Tues day against a body of tradesmen as respectable as any in the metropolitan community. But Sir R. Carden was not the only witness who gave evi ' deuce which surprised the committee, and which has filled the public mind with amazement and indignation—amazement because unjust, and indignation because injurious to the characters and interests of a respectable body of men. Mr. George Cruikshank, the caricaturist, must needs also come forward, and make one of the most ridiculous exhibi tions ever made before a Committee of the House of Com mons. Mr. George Cruikshauk is like Sir Robert Carden, a great advocate of the Maine Liquor Law, and would enforce its stringent provisions on every man and woman in her Ma jesty's dominions. To do the artist justice, he practises what he preaches,—which is more than can be said of the magis terial Knight. Mr. Cruikshank is a Teetoller ; Sir Robert Carden is not. He is, indeed, very far removed from any thing of the kind. Mr. G. Cruikshank, we have said, made a ridiculous exhibition on Tuesday. He is by profession a caricaturist, and, certainly, in this instance, he most graphi cally and successfully caricatured himself. Wo will not say what opinion the committee formed of him, though he could hardly be ignorant of it. In his zeal for the introduction of the Maine Liquor Law into this country, Mr. Cruikshank insisted on showing the committee a series of drawings, illus trative of the evils of drunkenness, in the shape of men beat ing their wives until the blood streamed from their months and noses, and little, children presenting an emaciated and ragged appearance, enough to touch the least sensitive heart, just as if any one ever doubted that drunken ness is one of the greatest evils, perhaps the greatest, that ever found its way into the world. The committee, however, very properly called on the caricaturist for facts, not for fanciful figures. He professed to comply with their requirements ; but the facts, if we must call them by the name, were such as no Committee or anybody else ever before had had submitted to them. The only fault which he could find with the Beer Bill was, that it did not go far enough. Even the Maine Liquor Law did not go far enough for Mr. Cruikshank. There was something in his statement which would raise the presumption in the minds of those who knew no better, that he is a native of the Emerald Isle, A more genuine Irishism was never perpetrated than the avowal, that he would go beyond the Maine Liquor Law,— that is, would have something still more s trin g ent with the.. view of discountenancing the sale of bee r, wine, or. spirits. The Maine Liquor Law prohibits the . sale of all spirituous liquors. What more would Mr. Crtiikshank have T Surely that ought to satisfy- him. If he *DI have - something more than even that, probably he will be kind enough to tell us in what way he is to be furnished with it. _• But this is not all. Ur, George Cruikaank. Of But London N.

OPERATIONS IN THE CRIMEA. ( Prom the Times of this day.) According to the latest accounts from the eridiett a large portion of the gun-boats and vessels of light draught belong ing to the allied fleets were already assembled in Kamiesh Bay, and expectations were confidently entertained that an other naval expedition to some parts of the adjacent coasts of Russia was in preparation. The French squadron in the Black Sea is now stated to amount to 61 vessels, of which 51 are steamers ; our own squadron must be somewhat larger, including the mortar boats last Sent out ; so that the naval forces of the Allied Powers, inending the Turkish ships, can not amount to less than 150 sail of armed vessels, without reckoning an immense flotilla of transports. The improve ment which has taken place in the working of the coalpits at Heraclea, on the coast of Asia Minor, now enables the fleet to obtain very fair coal at a price not much exceeding the value of that necessary article in this country, and our possession of the waters of the Euxine is in all respects complete. There is something burlesque, then, in the refusal of the Ca binet of St. Petersburg to entertain a proposition for the li mitation of its naval forces in the Black Sea, when the smallest craft that ever bore a Russia flag has disappeared, and the maritime armaments of the enemy have all but ceased to ex ist. If we would estimate the amount of positive success which has attended our operations in the present war for crippling the power of Russia, this fact alone is of the utmost significance. Twelve months ago the Russians had 17 line of-battle ships, 9 frigates and corvettes, 12 steamers of war, and about 70 lighter armed vessels in the Black Sea and the Sea ef Azoff. The strength of the Russian navy at the commencement of the war was such that Admirals Hame lin and Dundas were of opinion that it was unsafe to trust either the French or English squadron, as it was then composed, to cope with the enemy separately ; indeed, several important operations were post poned, and even the blockade was neglected, from what was then thought the imperative necessity of watching the Rus sian fleet in the harbour of Sebastopol: Had that fleet been well commanded, it might at least have inflicted very serious damage and inconvenience upon the allies, and it could not have been more effectually and ingloriously destroyed than it is at the present moment. The negotiators at Vienna, in cluding Lord John Russell, were ready at one time to consent that this Russian fleet should be restored to the condition it was in before the outbreak of the war ; but when that absurd proposal was entertained we suspect the statesmen who dis cussed it had but an imperfect notion of the contrast pre sented by the magnificent Russian navy of 1853, and the shattered, sinking hulks, which are all that remain of that navy in 1855. So far, one of the -great objects of the war is accomplished, and we hope that the conditions of peace will not deprive us of this great and permanent advantage. But is this the only result we might fairly anticipate from the supremacy of the allied fleets in the Black Sea ? Let us now -pit the siege of Sebastopol, the military operations, and the presence in the Crimea of nearly 200,000 men altogether out of the question, for their strategical position and means of operation are distinct. Suppose France and England had no armies there at all, but occupied the Black Sea with 150 vessels of war, and had expelled from it the enemy's flag ; what should we expect from such a position ? We should ex pect that within a few weeks every portion of its coasts would be visited as that gallant and lamented officer, Capt. Lyons, visited the almost inaccessible shores of the Sea of Azoff, that the towns and cities within range of the sea would everywhere feel the presence of onr navy, that the mouths and estuaries of the great rivers which feed this vast lake would be explored, and that the enemy would be harassed by incessant attacks on the fortified posts and garrisons along the coast. It is well known that the supplies and reinforcements for the army in the Crimea are drawn from every point, both in the Western and Eastern provinces of Russia, from which they can be made available, and that it is of vital importance to our fu ture success to stop these convoys wherever they can be in tercepted. Bessarabia has now been stripped of the forces which were engaged last year in the ill-advised expedi tion into the Principalities, and it could be a task of no great difficulty to enter the Sulina mouth of the Danube, and pur sue the flotilla of Russian gunboats to the Pruth. The en trance to the Bay of Cherson offers no insurmountable ob stacle to ships of considerable draught, for the largest ships in the Russian navy were built at Nicolaieff, floated down the Bug, and conveyed through this strait to Sebastopol. Wherever the seamen of the allied fleets have been tried they have succeeded not only in doing all that was expected of them, but in performing more than was thought possible. Their commanders, or, at any rate, the senior members of the service, appear hardly to know their own powers : at any rate, they have in no instance reached the limit of them. The preparations made for the exppditions of Bomarsund.last year and of Kertch this year, which have been the only two brilliant achievements of the navy in the war, were wholly disproportioned to the resistance which the enemy had it in his power to make. At Petropaulovsky the reverse we sus tained was due solely to the singular suicide of one Admiral and the inefficiency of another ; and this check will pro bably be avenged in the course of the summer. But no operations on the coasts of Kamtschatka, of Lapland, or even in the Gulf of Finland, can have the same di rect effect upon the questions raised by this war as the vi gorous application of our naval forces in the Black Sea. If we had an opportunity to address a remark to the Rus sian nation, or to those interested in its welfare, it would be to the following effect :—The operations of the present war are twofold—the first, and that which most engrosses the at tention of the world, is the Crimean expedition and the siege of Sebastopol; but, although the struggle now going on in that peninsula touches in the highest degree the honour of the Russian armies, the pride of the empire, and the political designs of the Czars on Constantinople, this is not the opera tion which most affects the condition of the Russian nation. Our second mode of attack is by a system of naval operations which has driven the Russian flag from every sea, which in sults the Czar upon his throne by the presence of an enemy within sight of the gilded spires of St. Petersburg, which ravages the coast, which cuts of all the supplies of maritime trade, and closes the Baltic and the Black Sea altogether against the Power which claimed prponderance iu those waters. It is evident that the people of Russia suffer infi nitely more by this latter mode of hostilities than by the vehement contest carried on by their troops in defence of Sebastopol. Yet this latter mode of hostilities, which presseS so severely on the security of their coasts, the honour of their flag, on their trade, on the • supply of their wants, and on their credit, is a kind of warfare which this country is perfectly able to prolong indefinitely. If we had not a man left in the Crimea, and if the greatest Powers in the world were led by any unforeseen cause to desist altogether from the attack on Sebastopol, that circumstance would in no degree induce the Allies to lesson the pressure which the war throws upon the • coasts of the empire, or to restore to Russia the waters which, as long as they are navigable, are in our possession. We do not dispute the ability with which the defence of Sebastopol is con ducted, we do not deny the patriotic effort which have been made by the Russians to maintain this struggle; but, except the honour of a more prolonged resistance, they can gain nothing by all their sacrifices. Even success would not re lieve them from that pressure of our naval superiority, which is the more formidable because it is permanent, and can be maintained without an effort by this country during the whole continuance of the war. We are satisfied that nothing will tend snore effectually to bring the enemy to submission than the application of these coercive measures in every form of hostility to all the points of his dominions which are acces sible to our squadrons ; and the inference we draw from these considerations is, that the groat objects of the war may be as much advanced by the incessant activity of the fleets as by the great military enterprise in which the allied armies are engaged. " THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE." (Front the Times of this day.) We have great pleasure in announcing that Sir William Molesworth is to succeed Lord John Russell in the direction of the Colonial-office. We regard this appointment as amen. , the first, and not the least valuable, fruits of the movement for Administrative Reform. There is no public man who has snore fairly won his way to this distinction than Sir William Molcsworth. It has been the habit to appoint men Colonial Secretaries because something must be done for them, be cause they were too intractable and troublesome to be trusted in any other department, because they were lazy, or because they were mischievously active—for every reason in the world, in fact, except because they knew anything of the depart ment they undertook to administer. To this time-hououred practice Sir William Molesworth is a first and most signal ex ception; he is Colonial Secretary because he understands the colonies, and for no other reason whatever. It would be difficult to exaggerate the services which during his Parliamentary career the new Colonial Secretary has rendered to the cause of the colonies, and the degree in which, by so doing, he has consolidated and conciliated the remoter portions of this great empire. He was the first to denounce the intolerable evils resulting from the system of transportation to the Australian colonies, .with its inversion of right and wrong, its material prosperity, and its moral rottenness. If not the founder, he may fairly be termed the regenerator and purifier of tliat great group of dependencies. He was among the early colonizers of New Zealand, though entirely free from the questionable acts which afterwards dis credited that noble undertaking. He possessed and imparted to Parliament vast stores of knowledge as to the complicated relations between the English settlers at the Cape of Good Hope, the Dutch Boers, and the savage tribes by which they are menaced and surrounded. To him we mainly owe the estab lishment of the principle, now recognised as an axiom, but formerly ridiculed as a paradox, that to the colonies should be intrusted the management of their own affairs, and the estab lishment of that double electoral chamber, which seems likely to pervade all British communities, from Canada to New Zealand. To his untiring exertions we owe it that the country has been spared the enormous expense of maintaining troops in these distant regions, and no ono has thrown more light ou the best constitution for dependencies, and on the manner in which Imperial should be distinguished from local powers. These are solid qualifications for the office, and augur well for the manner in which its duties will be per formed. Much will be expected from such a Minister, and Sir William Molesworth must be indefatigable and successful if he overcome the formidable rivalry of his own already achieved reputation. THE TURKISH LOAN. ( From the Times of this day. ) The two great Parliamentary contests of the week, believed to be the last of the session, were over, and the House, which had been swollen to nearly 500 members on Thursday night, scattered rapidly during the morning of yesterday. Members believed the session at an end, and assembled in small num bers, and without any strong, appearance of interest, when the House met last evening. They knew there was to be something about a, bill to guarantee a loan to Turkey, but nobody apparently apprehended that any serious contest would arise on the subject. Never was calm more delusive ; the sentinels who first saw the Russian greatcoats looming through the thick fog of the sth of • November, as their columns crowned the heights of Inkermann, were not more completely taken by surprise than was her Majesty's Ministers last night, when they found that a measure which they seemed to have looked upon, as indeed they had right to do, almost as a matter of course, was menaced with a violent and preconcerted opposition. We are astonished at the magni tude of the danger and the narrowness of the escape, and can from the most serious risk timehe veryth e existence alliance w i with a a nd scarcely believe th a t within so short by the narrow majority of 135 to 132 . Turkey France, s t h h o e u I p d r o h s a p v e e c t b s e of e n thesav war,esaved Our readers are aware that, subject to the approbation of Parliament, a convention has been concluded between the Governments of France, England, and Turkey, by which the two former Powers undertake to guarantee the payment of the interest on a loan of 5,000,0001., to be contracted by the latter. The Emperor of the French has already received' the approbation of his Chamber to this treaty, and last night Lord Palmerston introduced resolutions into the House of Commons for the purpose of obtaining the consent of Parliament to the convention. Strange to say, he was encountered with every species of objec tion ; some disapproved of assisting Turkey at all ; if he represented her wants, he was told that she would be unable to pay the interest ; if he descanted on her unde veloped resources, he was told that she did not requre a loan at all. Then the form of the loan produced endless objec tions, mou lded into every form of financial pedantry ; some objected to a guarantee, and would have preferred a loan direct from eand and Franca to Turkey ; others approved those great geniuses who live in a region of their own, far above anything so common-place as facts, coolly declared that not one single person had ever felt the slightest inconvenience from the operation of the Beer Bill of last session. We will not here, though we might with great propriety, employ a well-known phrase of Falstaff, when his indignation was raised to the highest pitch at finding that so many persons were in the habit of saying that which was in direct anta gonism to the truth. No one, not even one, inconvenienced by the act of last session ! What, then, means the flood of petitions, with their myriads of signatures, which has been mired into Parliament, calling for a modification of the measure ? And what means all that excitement in the public mind on the subject, which lately perilled the public peace ? But Mr. George Cruikshank does not think he has done enough when he thus boldly declares that the act of last ses sion has not caused the slightest inconvenience to any one of her Majesty's millions of subjects. He says something more than even that—something which at once establishes his claim to the character of being an original of the first magnitude, namely, that even the enactment of the Maine Liquor Law itself would not cause the slightest inconvenience to any human being within the confines of these kingdoms. Dr. Johnson liked a good hater ; •we have a profound respect for the man who can make the boldest assertions without the slightest embarrassment. Mr. George Cruikshank is, there fore, entitled to our homage ; and we yield it to him accordingly. A few such witnesses as this caricaturist, and the licensed victuallers would have everything their own way. To the evidence of Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex, we shall devote a separate article. It was, in some respects, the most important which has yet been given. Mr. Wakley gene rously and triumphantly vindicated the character of the licensed victuallers, and thus, without alludirr, specifically to the slanders of Sir Robert Carden, scattered the City Knight's calumnies to the winds. The licensed victuallers of London owe Mr. Wakley a large debt of gratitude, and he may' rest assured that they will never cease to feel the deep obligations under which he has laid them. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Castor frigate, of 36 guns, was put out -of dock at Chatham on Wednesday, having been newly coppered. She was taken immediately under the shears and masted ; and the following day she was floated into the stone dock to be rigged and fitted for sea. She is to be ready for service in a month. • The Dee steamer, Commander Pullen, arrived at Woolwich yesterday at 3 p.m., from Plymouth, having on board Major- General Corrington, 11. M., now entered on the retired list, and Mrs. Corringtou and family. The paddle-wheel steam-ship Arabia arrived in the Mersey yesterday, and will to-day embark about 170 horses for the Dragoons, and probably a detachment of troops. She is in excellent condition. The Transit iron screw steamstoreship, Commander John stone, was warped out of the fitting basin at Sheerness yes terday, wit% her steam up. Immediately she cleared the basin at 3.45 p.m. she proceeded under steam up the harbour, and will leave to-day for Deptfoid. At noon yesterday a telegraph order arrived at Sheerness from the Admiralty for the Glatton floating battery, Captain Arthur Cumming, and the Meteor floating battery, Captain F. B. P. Seymour, to proceed out on a trial trip immediately. Very shortly after the order was countermanded, and an order was received for both to take all their guns on board and proceed with all possible despatch to the Baltic. The eight Russian prisoners who arrived at Portsmouth in the steam-transport Indian the other day, from the East, pro ceeded yesterday to Lewes, escorted by a lieutenant and ser geant of the Rifle Brigade. They appeared in high spirits on landing from the ship. The troops destined for the Crimea who were to embark in the steam-transport 'Arabia, at Portsmouth, have been ordered to Southampton, to embark in the Orinoco yesterday and to-day. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. the Hon. Joseph Denman, steamed into Portsmouth harbour, from Cowes, to replenish with coals yesterday. The Nimrod and Sir Robert Sale transports sailed from Portsmouth yes terday for the Thames. The Tamar steam-transport loft Portsmouth yesterday for Southampton. The steam-sloop Virago, 6, Commander Marshall, left Spithead at six o'clock last evening for the eastward, to be paid off. The Gorgon, 6, Commander Crawford, is ordered from Spithead to Sheerness, The Hermes steam-sloop, Commander Corytou, received su pernumeraries at Spithead yesterday for the squadron on the North America and West India station, for which she sails this day. On the Bth inst. the Hydaspes took in tow for Gibraltar the steam transport City of London, distant 29 miles from Europa Point, Gibraltar, she being disabled by having been run into by a bark. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Orinoco, Captain Wilson, transport No. 218, commenced yesterday to embark her horses and troops for the Crimea at Southampton Docks. This vessel will take, in all, 15 officers, 276 men, and 235 horses, besides 11 first-class, ten second-class, and eight steerage passengers. The remainder will embark early this day, and the Orinoco will leave Southampton this afternoon for the Black Sea. On Thursday morning a detachment of the Ist Dragoon Guards (King's Own), from Piershill Barracks, left the Cale donian Railway station, Edinburgh ; and a similar detach ment left Motherwell station, from Hamilton Barracks, for Carlisle. Yesterday the united detachments, forming the second division of the regiment, and consisting of seven offi cers and 124 men, with 120 horses, under the command of Major Briggs, marched from Carlisle to Liverpool, whence they embark for the Crimea in the Arabia. A small detach ment of men and horses belonging to the Scots Greys, from Piershill, also go out in the Himalaya. The King's Own take under their charge 150 horses for different regiments in the East. When the Ist Dragoon Guards shall have left Piers hill there will be no cavalry regiment in Scotland, and there is no one spoken of at present to replace them there. A detachment of 50 Sappers and Miners from Warley Bar racks arrived at Chatham yesterday for general instruction in field duty at the Royal Engineer Establishment, under the direction of Col. Sandham, RE. A party of invalids to the number of 600 yesterday left the invalid depot, St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham. They com prised non-commissioned officers and privates of various corps, all wounded men from the Crimea. They are die , - ' charged from the service with pensions varying from Is. to 2s. per day. ROYAL VISIT TO THE HYDASPES. We learn by electric telegraph from Portsmouth, that the General Screw Steam Company's transport Hydaspes, No. 87, Captain Baker, arrived at Spithead last evening from the East, with the passengers and invalids. On the Hydaspes near ing Cowes about six o'clock, her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Kirg of the Belgians, and both Royal families, went along side her in the Fairy, and the Queen was pleased to inquire minutely of Captain Baker into the state of the gallant fel lows, the nature of their wounds, and their general health, on which her Majesty exhibited the deepest interest and sym pathy. On her Majesty taking leave the officers, crew, and invalids on board the Hydaspes manned her bulwarks, poop, and rigging, and some of the yards and tops, and vociferously cheered the Royal personages, who graciously acknowledged the tribute from the deck of the Fairy.

Captain Rolt, of the African mail packet Retriever, which arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, received from her passen gers an address and a gold watch, to mark their sense of his attention to his duty on the voyage home. THE MILITIA. The removal of the 31 West York Militia from Waterford to the camp on the Curragh of Kildare, which has been de layed in consequence of the incompleteness of the huts pre paring for their reception, will take place next week. The companies will be lodged in huts containing 25 men each, and they will be divided into squads of 12 men each. The sick will remain at the present station of the regiment. A detachment of the regiment, under Captain Bower, remains at New Ross. Only 69 of the 300 disembodied men have as yet taken advantage of Lord Panmure's order, and applied for their discharge. The total strength of the regiment is 42 sergeants, 36 corporals, 15 drummers, and 619 privates. The different militia regiments in Scotland are being visited by military officers for the purpose of receiving volunteers for the regular army. The Royal Elthorne Light Infantry, stationed at Uxbridge, Lieutenant-Colonel L. M. Murray Prior Commandant, and which regiment is upwards of 1,000 strong, has volunteered for the East, or wherever its services may be required. THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The proceedings of the Royal Agricultural Society in the North of England were commenced at Carlisle on Thursday by the partial opening of the show ground to the public. The admission, however, was confined to the trial-yard, where experiments were made with various steam-engines and other machinery of large dimensions, to afford the judges the op portunity of testing their respective merits. This enclosure comprises an area of nearly 15 acres. This space is separated into two divisions, the larger of whi?b !, appropriated to live stock, implements, and agrieVtuff seeds ; the other to the steam-engines, stationary ana w ',"'_": motive, and the more complicated pieces of machinery which require steam power to put them in operation.

There were Weil fined ewer 41 40 711.44 1111 with one exception, of 8-horse power, exhibited by Messrs. Barr aft Exall, and Andrewes, of Reading; Clayton, Shuttleworth, and Co., Lincoln ; Win. Dray and Co., London ; Ransom* and Sims, Ipswich ; J. Gray and Co., Uddingstone, Glasgow; Smith and Co., Glasgow ; and Taxford and Sons, Buxton. The array of portable gteam-engines, both as regards beauty of appearance and excellence of finish, was perhaps superior to anything that has yet been exhibited under the auspices of the society. They were nine in number, and by the follow. ing makers :—Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth, Rename and Sims, Croskill, of Beverly, Garrett and Scal, Leiston, Tux ford and Sous, Lee, of Walsall, Exall and Andrewes, Hornsby, of Grantham, and Boyden and Gluier, of London, manufac turers of the steam-horse or traction engine. With these pieces of machinery Usher's steam plough may properly be classed. The trial cf the fixed engines is conducted in a somewhat imperfect manner. The peculiar quality of coal supplied is such as to render it impossible to generate steam sufficient for the satisfactory working of the engines, which were several times brought to a standstill in consequence. Under these circumstances the result must necessarily be an im perfect one. With both the fixed and portable engines the usual method observed by the society was adopted in the trials—that of supplying to each engine 141 b of coal for eaoh horse-power, with which they were to effect as large an amount of work as the capacity and the economical arrange ment of the machine would permit upon the dinanometor, or force resister, supplied by the society. So far as the trials have at present gone, Messrs. Barrett, Exall, and Andrewes have done the most work, running two hours one minute and a half with 1 cwt. of coal. The experiments of the portable engines were attended with the usual amount of excitement and speculation among the makers, several of the machines appealing likely to run very close upon each other. •The • experiments of the day closed with the performance s Of Messrs. Clayton and Shuttle worth's engine of an amount of work exceeding any before effected, namely, three hours and 27 minutes, being an eight horse engine, with 1 cwt. of coal. Boydell's ocomotive or steam traction engine attracted a good deal of attention. - It is possessed of two six-and-a_half iuch cylinders, the engine is very readily reversed, and one peculiarity and excellence ' of its arrangement is that the' dragging wheels—which are the hinder pair of the ordinary carriage wheels —are driven, not by gear oft the nave of the wheel, as in former attempts at locomotive farm engines, but by gearing it at the circumference of the wheel, thus rendering available the leverage of the spokes of the wheel. The great obstacle to the application of steam power to ordinary farm purposes has hitherto been the difficulty of moving heavy engines on clayey or - other (stiff soils. This is obviated by the so-called " portable railway," which the wheels of Boydell's invention carry with them, consisting of a series of shoes, or short lengths of rail, on a broad sole, that by ingenious arrangement revolve with the wheel outside its circumference; thus literally laying short lengths of rail by the motion of the wheels themselves, the rail always being slightly in advance of the wh ee l s layi n g it, and of course being pulled up and passed again to the front by each revolution. The first impression given to the spec tator on seeing this engine is by no means favourable, the most striking feature being its unwieldly and uncouth ap pearance, but on a close examination, and more especially when in motion, there is much to excite admiration as well as astonishment. By a short projecting pole, with chains attached to a wheel, in all respects the same as tho rudder chains and wheel of • a ship, tho engine is steered and turned completely round both quickly and in an incredibly small space. , -Much amusement was occasioned by the manner in which it plodded through the yard at the rate of about four miles an hour, going over two 3-inch planks laid upon each other, without any ap. parent check to the progress of the engine, which was also run along the side of a steep embankment, throwing it consi derably out of level, without at all deranging its machinery or in the least decreasing its efficiency. It is well known that the " portable railway" has for some time past been on trial at Woolwich, and the principle, we believe, has already been applied to the wheels of some heavy guns at the seat of war. At Woolwich the experiment was satisfactory, but Lord Panmure is awaiting the result of the trial of this en gine at the present meeting of the society before deciding upon any extensive application of the principle. Should it prove satisfactory, it will be the commencement of a new era iu military engineering and the transport of ordnance. It is asserted that the machine, though 6 tons 10 cwt. in weight, is available upon any soft uneven ground. It was tried upon ground but recently saturated with rain, and though at the time working with only 91b. or 101 b. pressure of steam, the movement was very satisfactory, and the impression upon the grass scarcely perceptible. It is also asserted that it can draw 70 tons, or something like a dozen field-pieces, or drag as many ploughs through the soil at one and the same time. This, however, remains to be seen. The ordinary speed is about four miles and three miles and a half an hour, but that can be increased if necessary. One apparent obstacle to its service on very heavy ground is that the tank contain ing the' water is placed so low that it would be liable to be damaged by any strong obstruction in uneven or rocky dis tricts. With respect to the general show of implements, there is nothing very new or extrordinary. The number of combined thrashing, shaking, and winnowing machines is on the in crease, and several of them appear to be much in advance of previous years. Besides the portable machines, there are three sets of fixed barn works•for thrashing and fixing and weighing off cornready for market ; those of Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth, Garrett and Sons, and Ransoms and Sims appear to be the principal rivals. The trials of the engines were, as heretofore, conducted under the immediate inspection of Mr. C. E. Amos, con suiting engineer to the society. The judges of the engines are Mr. J. V. Gouch, civil engineer and engineer to the Eastern Counties Railway, and Mr. W. Owen, of Rotherham. The revolving horse-hoe is said to be exciting great interest among the farmers of the locality, which is a great turnip growing district. Subscriptions have been raised to decorate the town. A grand floricultural and horticultural exhibition is to be held during threw days next week in the vicinity of the show ground, a ball is to be given on Wednesday, concerts during the week, and many other minor amusements have been de vised to keep the multitude in good humour. The following is the programme of the arrangements at the dinner on Thursday next : 7 — The Cumberland Floral and Horticultural Society intend holding a grand exhibition of flowers, fruits, and vegetables (open to the United Kingdom), on the 24th, 25th, and 26th days of July, in spacious tents and marquees adjoining tho site fixed upon by the Royal Society. 2401. will be offered for competition, and iu the list may be noticed prizes for stove and greenhouse plants, pelargoniums, fuschias, cal ceolarias, ericas, orchidaceous plants, exotic ferns, ranuncu luses, dr.c. Perhaps the greatest novelty is a first, second, and thfrd prize for the best collection of wax flowers ; this art has attained great perfection, the correct and beautiful imitations being sometimes most striking. 101. is offered for fruits, including pine-apples, grapes, melons, peaches, dm.; and 41. 10s. for vegetables, including cucumbers, peas, pota toes, mushrooms, &c. In addition to the foregoing there will be liberal prizes given for the best specimens of flowers, fruits, and vegetables, grown and shown by amateurs only. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) RAILWATI.
