'ear- SINKING OF WESTMINSTER-BlUDGlL—Yesterday, in consequence of the works in progress for the construc tion of the new bridge at Westminster having shaken the foundations of the present structure, orders were issued for the necessary precautions to be taken to pre vent the possibility of any catastrophe. It seems the enormous number of piles driven have deranged the arches next the Middle ex shore ; in order, therefore, t n mark any subsidence, the engineers yesterday caused a thin coat of cement to be laid over those arches that have evinced symptoms of instability, the cracking of the cement will immediately denote any further sinking and its direction, and enable the authorities to take the r equired steps for the public safety, LORD OHS RUSSELL'S CONDUCT. ( - From, the Assemblee of yesterday.) Lord eT I ihn Russell has at length felt the neces sity of er d er i ng into explanations on theconduct he folio' ' , Ted at Vienna as negotiator , and in Lon don since his re turn as member of the cabinet—of which Lord Palmerston is the head . This did not take - place without a fresh p rovocation to it on the part of Mr. Milner Gibson ; but, as must be agreed, if this explanations of the noble lord have been slow of productiein they are at least very clear, and are presented - with all the characteristics of a sincere and comr,lete confession. The resume which the private telegraph transmitted us yesterday is neces wally - very concise, but it is perfectly exact, and leave aus scarcely anything to add. Placed anew in pi:esence of the circular in which the Austrian Mir lister for Foreign Affairs declares that the two pie nipotentiaries, French and English, at the con fel' -once at Vienna, M. Drouyn de l'Huys and Lord Jahn Russell, had given their adhesion to the last propositions of the Austrian Cabinet for the ar r angement of the third point of guarantee, and I 'engaged to use all their influence to procure their adoption by their respective Governments, Lord John acknowledged that that d e cla ra ti on was en ' tirely correct. Like his colleague, the French Minister, he had, before leaving Vienna, given his personal adhesion to the Austrian proposition. Be perceived in them the means for terminating by au honourable peace, offering sufficient guaran tees for the interests compromised in the oriental conflict, a war which had already cost so much treasure and so many men. In certain respects these explanations do not tell us anything new. We already knew what Lord John Russell declares so precisely to-day, and since the month of May we have so stated it on repeated occasions. But on seeing him remain a member of the Cabinet by which the proposals at Vienna were rejected, and above all after the part which he took a month ago in the debate in the House of Commons upon these same negotiations in which he had played so im portant a part, it must be confessed we had come to doubt of the exactitude of our communications. Between the conduct and the opinions of the Eng lish Plenipotentiary at the Conferences of Vienna and the language of the Colonial Minister in the bosom of Parliament there was something irrecon cileable. It seemed impossible it should be the same man. Lord John had given his assent to the last propositions of Austria, and had engaged to support them with his Government. What he promised he has performed ; he has done his best to decide his colleagues for the acceptance of these conditions as the bases cf a treaty of peace ; but not having been able to succeed in procuring the adoption of his opinion, he has nevertheless thought it proper to remain Minis ter, and concur as administrator, as orator in vested by his functions with a double authority in the House of Commons, in the continuation of a war of which he did not approve. He has sub mitted to combat the opinions of those who spoke in favour of a peace which he approved. . . . . From the moment that he could not bring over his colleagues to the opinion which he had maintained at Vienna as negotiator, and in which lie persisted, there was but one step to take—to retire from the Ministry, and make know n th e mo ti ves of hi s secession to the count r y. H onour , th e t ra diti ons -of Parliamentary Government, equally made it his duty, and this duty was i n some sor t ren d eA ed.im perative by the example set before him in France by M. Drouyn de l'Huys. Lord John Russell has rather chosen to sacrifice his opinion—we should even have the -right to say, to give the lie to his convictions—and keep his portfolio." THE AUSTRIAN ATROCITIES IN THE PRINCIPALITIES. The following letter throvs further light on these horrors : " BUCHAREST, June 30. " The death of young Bulche, son-in-law of the Prince of Moldavia, killed in a duel by the Count de Stolherg, an Austrian officer, has produced in both Principalities a most painful sensation. The young woman has been punished by Prince Gregory Ghigk, her father, for her imprudent coquetry; she has been exiled to a monastery for five years. The young Princess Nathalie is not more than twenty years old, and is a beautiful woman. This lamentable incident was not wanting to complete the hatred existing against the Austrians, who have the talent of causing even the Russians to be regretted, and whose excesses they have surpassed. The Rus , ian ad ministration was without intelligence and venal ; that of the Austrians is quite as impolitic and corrupt—parti cularly at Bucharest. No place is given, every one is sold, and the Austrian Generals, who are much poorer than were the Russians, begin to do a thriving business. Prince Stirbey, who clings desperatelyto power which he feels is slipping from him, doss his utmost to maintain himself. Re has caused to be drawn up at Arsaki nnd. Poe, ner, two cunning but detested instruments of his 13 , dicy, a plan of new organic regulations which is, with very slight changes, the reproduction of those which he pre sented in 1851 to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. In place of the Russian uniform we have the Austrian, and the difference between them is almost imperceptible—in reality it is the same thing. The impost of the two tenths established by the Russians in 1648 and 1849, the object of which was the extinction of the debt which Russia had imposed on the country, is collected. The Prince says openly it is fur the purpose of defraying the obligations of the Principality to Russia, and, in the meantime, the proceeds are disposed of as on former occa sions. Prince Alexander Ghika, whose 'energy and patriotism are known to his countrymen, and offered some consolation to those who have never ceased to regret him, has protested strongly against the payment of the impost, and has thus set the example of legal resistance. The fact is, the entire country is against Stirbey ; his partisans are to be found among those who are justly hated —among dilapidators, some of whom are still holding place, though under prosecution by the Minister of Finance and among persons equally disen titled to public confidence. It is in my power to communicate to you official docu ments on the subject of the conduct of these men. But, I repeat what I have often told you—there are no longer parties in Wallachia ; there is but one feeling, public, unanimous, and decided, and that is for the cessation, at any cost, of the oppressive domination of the Austrians, and the expulsion of a Hospodar who is execrated, and of his followera who are the scourge of the . country. That is what we, Wallachians, demand from England and France." Another letter from Bucharest, of the 26th, says:— - "The Grand Vizier, Aali Paella, passed last week through Rustchuk. Prince Stirbey proceeded to meet and compliment him, and a certain number of Boyards did the same. The Consuls-General of Prussia and England also proceeded thither. General Coronini left some days since, to inspect the troops ha the two Prin cipalities. Prince Stirbey continues to act with the same audacity. Ho has just levied an impost of 30,000,000 of piastres on the native and Greek monas teries. He has procured that impost to be voted by the Divan convoked ad hoc; the members voted it unani• mously, with the exception of one single member, Prince Constantine Gbika, President of the High Court of Jus tice. It would be difficult to give von an idea of the discontent of the whole population." THE VICARAGE OF YEOVIL.—The Rev. Richard J. F. Thomas has been instituted by the Bishop of Bath and Wells to the vicarage of Yeovil-cum-Preston. FAILURE OF Two OF THE NEW MANCHESTER NEWS• PAPERS.—The Manchester Halfpenny Express and the Manchester Penny Express, two of the five daily pap , ..ve recently started in Manchester, have already been dis continued. .It If 4 no uncommon thing for literary men to have false conceptions of those commercial principle, which are quite as necessary to success in the conduct of a newspaper as good writing and the ability for compi lation. No fault could be found with the conduct of these papers as regards the last-named qualifications, for they appear to have been well got up, but the mis take was probably one very common to new speculations of this kind, that they attempted to give too much fo: the mon e y, co n sid er i eg th e compe titi on t h ey had to en counter. THE STATE OF THE THAMES.--Th e presen t di sgrace f u l stat e (Saturday) by of the river Thames has called forth the following letter from Professor Faraday :—" I traversed this day' steam-boat the space between London and Tl , un g" lo- rd Bridges, between half-past one and two have been of the water forced o clock ; it vas near low water, and I think the tide must The whole of theri the turn.

The following bills passed through committee : School Grants, Burial Grounds (Scotland) Indemnity, and Court of Exchequer (Ireland). The Stock in Trade Bill passed through committee. The Copyhold, &c., Commission Continuance Bill passed through committee. Their lordships then adjourned at ten minutes past eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. • Several other clauses were brought up and amend , ments proposed after which the report was received. PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT BILL. On the order for going into committee on this bill, Mr. HASTIE rose to move, as an amendment, that the house would resolve itself into committee that day three months. The bill had been insufficiently discussed, and be hoped to bring before the house such opinions of com mercial men and economists of eminence as would j istify the course he was takirg. He had expected that the right hon. gentleman who introduced this bill would have ehown that there was in this country a want of capital to carry on cotnroercial and manufacturing enterprise ; . . but nothing of the sort had been shown. The bill was artfully drawn to captivate all who were anxious to re tire from business, but to preserve a certain risk in the undertakings of their successors. It would enable the crafty and designing to commit immense frauds upon the public. The repeal of the usury laws had removed all ne cessity for such a measure as this, since a person might obtain all thd objects sought to be facilitated by this bill by lending money on bond at a high rate of interest, when be would be a simple creditor. The opinion of Mr. M'Culloch was adverse to companies with limited liability except for the management of such undertakings as docks and railways. The hon. member read a number of rather lengthy extracts from the works of Mr. 111`Culloch, and was still doing so, when Mr. E. BALL rose to order, objecting to the hon. member reading a pamphlet instead of addressing the house. Mr. -HASTIE said that he was only reading extracts and was proceeding in that course, when Mr. J. MACGREGOR rose to order, and said the hon. member for Paisley might as well present to the house all the works of Adam Smith, the patriarch of po litical economy. Why did he not make a speech of his own. (Laughter, and cries of order and chair.) The SPEAKER said the hon. member was quite in order. It was a question of degree. The hoc. member was entitled to support by reading any number of ex tracts he thought requisite, but it would be out of order for him to read the whole pamphlet. Mr. HASTIE continued reading some extracts, in apology for which he said that he was not so gifted with the power of speech as the hon. member for Glasgow (Mr. John Macgregor). (Loud laughter.) The opinions of Mr. M'Culloch were confirmed by that of the present Lord Overstone. He considered the bill would tend in the greatest degree to increase fraud and bankruptcy and destroy credit. He moved, therefore, as an amendment, that the bill should be committed that day three months. Mr. MITCHELL seconded the amendment. He did not think the subject had been properly discussed, nor did the sentiments expressed in that house convey the opinions of a large portion of the community in the country. When the bill aas introduced he was struck with the few cases of grievances under the present act. The only cases referred to were the cases of paten tees, and the cases where old partners, on retiring from business, wished to leave a sum of money in the hands of their successors. He apprehended that there had as yet been no difficulty experienced in these cases, we! that no grounds had been established for the in troduction of this particular bill. He believed there was a majority in the country against the bill, including not only capitalists but a great portion of the rising young men of the country. It was notorious that the abund ance of capital was so great that every five or six years they had speculation running mad in the country, and yet in the face of that, and of the crash that occurred nearly once in every seven years, they were endeavour ing to draw a large amount of capital into business from other sources. It was thought that persons advancing money would have power to control the operations of the person to whom it was advanced, but this bill would give no such power, and if the party advancing the money took an active part in controlling the business, he would, under the law of the land, be deemed an active partner in it. The next point had reference to the mode in which the capital was to be obtained, and it was said that there was a choice between borrowing money at a high rate of interest and giving a share in the business to the party advancing the money. He denied that such was the fact, because it rarely hap pened that a person going rnto business would borrow money for a permanent purpose at a high rate of inte rest. It was said that the bill would prevent this, but he asked if. any one emit" read the 4th, sth, 6th, and 7th clauses of the bill and say there was any check in it on the commission of fraud. Great stress had been laid on the example of other countries, but ho believed that the system of en commanclite in France and Belgium was getting into discredit. They wanted neither capital nor confidence in this country, and, therefore, the measure was unnecessary. Mr. J. MACCGREGOR would support the principle of limited liability, but it should be provided by the measure to which that support would be given that the party advancing the money should give security to the public for double the amount subscribed. He warned the house against rejecting s measure which he consi dered necessary for the security of the industry of the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WILKINSON supported the bill, considering such a measure as the present absolutely necessary to furnish a safe outlet for the investment of the superabun dant capital that existed in the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CARDWELL trusted the house would not fur ther delay the progress of the bill, but would at once allow it to go into committee. (Heir, hear.) Mr. MALINS said, as the law now stood, persons could silently join and silently retire, but this bill pro posed in both cases that notice of the fact should be given by registration. What was required was a ra tional system of dormant partnership, encouraging the advance of capital by those who possessed it to those who did not, and this bill would enable the capitalist to advance money without incurring the great risks to which he was now subjected, which amounted to a total prohibition against the obtaining of capital by those who were commencing life. (Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. W. BROWN and Mr. H. Vrvi.ses, the amendment was negatived without a divi sion, and the house went into committee on the bill. Clause I was agreed to. Mr, MARJORIBANKS moved the following pro vim) at the end of the clause :—" That the amount of money borrowed shall not exceed the capital embarked in the business." This would impose a check on undue speculation, which it was feared would otherwise be rife under this bill. Mr. BOUVERIE contended that it was often impos sible to ascertain the amount of capital embarked in a business, and even If it were, the proviso would not be just or expedient. Mr. MALINS agreed with the right hon. gentleman that the proviso would go far to defeat the objects of the After some farther conversation the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause ordered to stand part of the bill. The house then resumed, the Chairman reported pro gress, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday. LADY RAGLAN AND LORD RAGLAN'S ANNUITIES BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. W. WILLIAMS said he did not intend to object to that part of the bill which referred to Lady Raglan, but he thought it was highly objectionable to tax pos terity for au annuity for the present Lord Raglan. If anything was to be done for that young nobleman it ought to be in the shape of a sum of money paid by the present generation. The annuity proposed for Lord Raglan exceeded the pensions conferred upon very dis tinguished officers who had rendered great service to their country. For example, Lord Rodney obtained 'only 2,0001. a year, and the same sum was conferred upon the descendants of Lord Nelson ; yet no one would say that the services rendered by the late Lord Raglan were to be compared to those rendered by either of those distinguished men. Lord Gough had only 1,0001. a year, although his services were quite as valuable as those of Lora Raglan. He could mention other cases of the same kind, but, after the opinion expressed by the house on a former occasion, he should not oppose tho second reading of the bill, contenting himself with having ad dressed these few remarks to the house. The bill was then read the second time. The Fisheries (British Islands and France) 13111 passed through committee. COAL MINES INSPECTION BILL. The report of the committee on the Coal Mines In spection Bill was brought up and considered. Mr. CAY LEY moved the addition of a proviso to clause 9, to the effect that an annual return of the num ber of accidents occurring in coal mines should be laid before the house. After some discussion the:house divided, when there were— For the amen d men t 5B Against it 74 —l6 Majority The remaining clauses were reported, and the third reading was fixed for this day (Tuesday).

The point of attack in the East is the Crimea ; in the West, at this moment, it is Lord John Russell. While legions and generals are contending for the possession of a tower or a harbour in that famous peninsula, Governments, Senates, and factions, are fighting for the possession of the no less famous Plenipotentiary. The Crimea is altogether au am biguous position ; jutting out from one empire— threatening another ; a debateable ground midway between'Europe and Asia ; for ages the sport of conquest, and, like a tool or a weapon, powerful only in the hands of the skilful or the strong. Lord John Russell seems of an equally neutral nature, and a bone of contention between parties, causes, and States. Lord Palmerston claims him as a member of the Cabinet, committed to the continu ance of the war ; Count Bnol claims him as a con verted negotiator, and actual party to a conciliatory proposal tendered by the Austrian Government to, the Western Powers, and rejected by them both ; Mr. Milner Gibson claims him generally as an ad vocate for peace, and a dissentient from the war policy of the Cabinet. He is the weak point in Lord Palmerston'e argument, the strong point in Count Buol's and Mr. Milner Gibson's. But, as a beam is only as strong as its weakest part, so Lord John is the maximum strength of the Administra tion. To the most powerful arguments—oven Lord Palmerston's—and the most tremendous philippics—even Lord John's, Russia may now reply by pointing to the fact that we are prolong ing the war against the solemn award of our own umpire —Austria, and the avowed judgment of our own Plenipotentiary, still an adviser of the Crown, and still of the same opinion as to the needless ness of the war. In fine, whose property is Lord John ? Who is the owner of this very conve nient and serviceable chattel ! In a dog cause it is usual to bring the animal into court, and invite the claimants to practise upon him their various powers of persuasion. The man sshistles, and the woman addresses him by some tender diminutive, while perhaps a third party takes him up bodily, and appeals to the dog's acquiescence in the act: Count Buol is whistling across the con tinent to his recent Plenipotentiary ; the old ladies of the peace party are practising all sorts of endear ments to move his pacific affections, and Lord Pal merston has bodily possession of the prize. But how long Lord J. Russell will remain in his pre sent allegiance is a question we should think of painful interest to all parties. By his many acts of compliance and reserve he retains the key of the position. He has only to avow himself once more the same that he was three months ago, and he becomes a peace Minister. Taking advantage of the happy moment of our reverses, he has pub lished to the world his unretracted assent to the Austrian proposal for peace, a step which immedi ately raises a discussion on that proposal and the grounds of its; rejection. Should matters become worse—should events happen in the Crimea that we do not choose to particularise, then Lord John will of course throw off his present intermediate phase of tardy profession, and proclaim to the world with indignant energy his burning convic tion as to the wanton and gratuitous character of the war. On the other hand, should our army prosper, those convictions can he easily smothered, as, indeed, they have hitherto been. On the whole, it is a capital position, but then it requires a power of conscience to hold it. Nobody would hold it so well as its present occupant. In the accounts of the war we read that occa sionally an odd figure turns up in the lines held by the allied armies. He is challenged by the sentries, and, returning no intelligible answer, is taken into custody, and passed from officer to officer, for safe disposal. As his hat, his boots, his coat, his papers, his physiognomy, and his accent arceunder observation, the simple soldiers incline to the be lief that the stranger is a Russian, an Englishman, a Turk, a Pole, or a Jew. Lord John Russell has been challenged, and is now under examination. What is he ?—an Englishman, an Austrian, a nits giant or possibly a man of no nation atoll, a sort of Don Pacifico, of , any nation, locality, or alle giance) as best suits his purpose ? What a thing it is to be a citizen of the world ! But even this . position is fixed and determinate, compared with that which is only an adaptation to present circum stances. Lord John Russell reflects one week the hues of Austrian and Russian Ministers, the next those of Lord Palmerston and the British Senate. It is a common complaint against Englishmen that when they reside abroad they forget they are Eng lishmen ; but then they make it up by the very slight trace they can show of travel when they re turn home. The fact is, that they unlearn much easier than they learn. They lose their patriotism, their religion, and their national prejudices, and when they return home they are so much less than they were, but have nothing in its place. At this moment Lord John is certainly not the man that he went to Vienna, but whether he is the man he: came back is the great and convenient mystery of, his position. He allows us to discover that he still thinks the Austrian proposal a good one, and that the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea, might have been destroyed by an arrangement on that basis. Of course, therefore, he still thinks; the British Cabinet responsible for all this hor-s rible bloodshed std the unknown miseries of the future. For our part, we cannot understand the. character of the man who retains an opinion so contrary to the necessities of his position. We rest simply and comfortably in the belief that we are fighting for the liberty of Europe against a, power more formidable in negotiation even than arms. Lord John is of opinion that we are now be sieging a Russian oity, killing and slaying the armed inhabitants, and destroying the houses and the food, in spite of a fair, amicable, and genuine pro posal made by a common friend in the character of an umpire. On what narrow basis does Lord John wage war, and in what capacity does he pronounce one party in the wrong, and the other a foe ? Then we are implored vehemently and patheti cally to believe Lord John Russell, and all our British statesmen. We are asked to put faith in them all, and in everything that the whole of them say or do. This is political pantheism, and some thing more ; for it is possible to believe in an im mense variety of things, but not in opposites. We thoroughly believe Lord J. Russell when he says that he is still of opinion we ought to have followed up the opening offered by the Austrian proposal.' We thoroughly believe him when he expresses his opinion that we are now in the wrong, and that the responsibility of the war rests on this impla cable nation. But, then, if we believe this, how are we also to believe the opposite, viz., that all her Majesty's Ministers are advising her wisely, honestly, and conscientiously ? If they themselves tell us their advice is wrong, how are we to believe them to be honest ? The British nation is not such a tyrant as to desire servants who shall betray their compunctions of conscience, protest against the business put upon them, and then do it from sheer weakness and timidity. It goes to Lord John Russell, and invites his co-operation to a very deadly work viz., the greatest possible slaughter and devastation of Russia. He obeys, but answers, like the apothecary, " My poverty and not my will consents." Romeo, we presume, placed apnadl in Palmerston sttho ns thew enjoins.il l poorw ill, an d gijo te wretchw paid the dt be thew confidence . poverty By Lord eurttyis, that the confidence we usually place in British statesmen ? It certainly is not, a general distrust or denial of confidence is much better than a con deuce in Ministers that they will do whateversttits their present purpose, and perform our bloody errand, even if they think it a crime.—Times. LORD JOHN BUIS,STLL AGAZIV 1 ( Prom Mx Tbita elm e t. ay. Among thu innitnierahle questions of duty, of honour, of good sense, and of good faith, of the limits which se parate the powers of Plenhoten tiaries from the responsibilities of Cabinet Minis ters, and Whatever other problems in political ethics Lord John Russell's speech of rriday night has raised, there is, perhaps, some danger that the substantial proposition itself, to the support of whieh he in an unhappy hour committed himself, should pass without the notice it deserves. There is something so much more attractive in specula ting on the wonderful career of a man who, placed in 1850, partly by his own merits, partly by a high family connexion, partlyby a concurrence of favour able circumstances, at the head of the political world of this country, has prepared for himself a uniform and gradual descent, till men, comparing what he is with what be has been can bardiy re cognise in the political Marplot of every combina tion and the scapegoat of every miscarriage the Par liamentary leader of a quarter of a century, who measured swords with Canning and divided the respect and admiration of the country with Peel. There is something so much more attractive in all this, the personal side of the question, that we are afraid the proposition itself, which converted Lord John at once from the most ravenous of the dogs of war into the very tamest partisan of peace, should pass without sufficient observation. Let us take the proposition in the words of Count Buol, as quoted by Lord John Russell :—" -Un doubtedly the best security you can have is the !imitation of the Russian fleet. But there is ano ther solution, and that would be, instead of weak ening Russia, to strengthen Turkey. It is the opinion of the Austrian Government and of the English Secretary. of State for the Colonies, that the Third Point may be carried into effect either in the one way or in the other. The proposal you make is, undoubtedly, the best ; we should be very glad to see it assented to by Russia ; in the Conference we shall give it every support ; but we will not say that we do not reserve to ourselves the power of proposing the other mode—namely, instead of a limitation of Russian force, to have a counterpoise on the part of the Allies." To this proposition Lord John Russell is candid enough to see some objections. In the first place, it might entail considerable expense upon us ; in the second place, it would put Turkey under our immediate protection ; and, in the third place, the appear ance of these rival fleets in this narrow sea would look extremely like a competition for predomi nance. Nobody can say these are not good reasons, but Lord John argues against the proposition as a friend. He smiles it amicably and reproves it, but takes especial care that the precious balm of his wisdom should not break the head of his con sistency. We are not obliged to be so delicate, and shall therefore take the liberty of urging some reasons against the proposition, which Lord John either overlooked or did not find it convenient to state. In the first place, it is very doubtful whether such a proposition comes within the words of the third point at all. The third point stipulated that an end should he put to the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea, clearly meaning the exist ing preponderance over Turkey ; while the propo sition which received the assent of Lord Jobe Rus sell, so far from putting an end to the preponder ence of Russia over Turkey, recognises its existence, and seeks to counteract it by calling in . aid the allies, instead of putting an end to it. Thus, had England and France acted on the suggestions of their metamorphosed Plenipotentiary, they would have set the example to Russia of wandering from those very bases of negotiation which it had cost them so much trouble to establish, and a strict adherence to which contained at that moment the only guarantee for peace. Dismissing this view, we will next observe that Lord John Russell would have had the allies concede to Russia a right and control over their proceedings never, so far as we are aware, claimed over France and England by Russia or any other Power. Independently of treaties, the Black Sea would naturally be free to all Powers to navigate with whatever force they please, the only limitation to that right being the rights of the country whose consent was necessary for the passage of those fleets into those waters. The Hqllespont and Bosphorus are the very heart of the Turkish empire they form part of its internal navigation, and could not be passed with out its consent. Thus Turkey had a right to forbid the entrance of the Black Sea to all nations, and to defend that entrance by arms if it were attempted to be forced. With this right Russia had nothing to do, and those vessels which the Porte allowed to pass the Dardanelles might occupy the waters of the Black Sea without giving Russia any cause of just offence. Then came the treaty of 1841, by which Russia, unwarrantably encroach ing on the natural rights of Turkey, obliged her to consent that it. should be a casus belli if she ad mitted foreign vessels of war within the Strait]. But this casus belli was only against Turkey, and, though Russia extorted by this treaty the right to go to war with Turkey if she admitted foreign ships, it was as against Turkey alone that she gained it. She might ' quairel with Turkey for lotting us in, but had no right to quarrel with us for entering. This state of things Lord John Russell proposes to abolish, and, instead, to give Russia a power to ob ject—a power which, till now, she has never en joyed—to the number of ships which we shall choose to send thither. The increase of Russia's navy is to be unlimited ; ours is to be limited by her. The initiative is to be with her, and we are only to follow her lead. Instead of limiting her force, we should by such a treaty limit our own. It is a new thing for this country to be thus placed at the disposition of another, and more especially when that other is a Power which dares not face us on the open sea. What a conclusion to be gained for all our blood and all our treasure ! When we took up arms the treaties between Rus sia and Turkey were abrogated, and we might, without incurring the penalty of war, navigate the Euxine with armed ships. Now, Lord John Rus sell proposes that, by way of curbing the power of Russia, we should renounce the right we had when we began hostilities, and, while we leave her an absolute discretion as to the number of her ships, should undertake to guide ourselves by that dis cretion. If we are really sincere in the objects of the war, to what end should we make a peace leaving the Russian naval power in the Black Sea unlimited 1 The only use that Russia has for ships in the Black Sea must be to overawe, and, ultimately, to conquer Turkey —the very thing we took up arms to prevent. Russia we may weaken, but Turkey for years to come we cannot strengthen. gehastopol, Lord John has told us, is a " standing menace," and none the less a menace when wo shall haste assented to its being filled with any number of ships the Emperor of Russia pleases. Lord John Russell, one of the principal authors of the war, may be prepared to make peace on terms so abject and hu miliating, and at the same time so onerous, giving us not the sligthest semblance of advantage and saddling us with burdens never before undertaken by this country—the maintenance of a permanent fleet to wath an enemy whom we have not been strong enough to humble; we know not with what disasters we may be visited, we know not by what Ministers we may be governed, but we firmly be lieve that there is no disaster within the range of probability which could drive us to such concessions and no Minister except Lord John Russell who is likely to prcpose them for our adoption. (Front the Morning Herald of this dap) The revelations and confessions of Friday night last have cleared up the mystery connected with the rejected Austrian proposal, and have disclosed a state of things in the Cabinet that fully accounts for the ruinous indecision which has marked the policy of Lord Palmerston's Administration. Lord John Russell's disclosure is not more fatal to the Government of which he is yet a member, than it is fortunate for the country. We now un derstand, upon authority not likely to be called in question, that upon the great question. of peace or war—call it rather the great question of England's existence as a first-rate power—the responsible advisers of the Crown are at issue ; that they hate all along been a divided Cabinet ; and that we have very narrowly escaped for . the present the conclusion of an ignominious peace. The conse quences of these divisions—the half-hearted mea sures, and insecure policy resulting from them—in the late and present Administrations, have cost the country 100,000,0001. and a noble army. These are losses, great though they be, which the nation can yet repair, and will yet repair, under a vigorous and honest Government ; but the peace contemplated and all but concluded, the settlement of the Eastern question on the terms proposed by the Austrian Minister, would have added to our losses the additional bitterness that they had been incurred in vain, and that the interests of England had been betrayed by those to whom in an evil hour they had been confided. Lord John Russell has made a clean breast of it; he had accepted Count Buol's proposal, " and I gave an assurance," he adds, " which I authorised Count Buol to communicate to the Emperor, that I would lay the propositions before the Cabinet of this country, and would use my best endeavours to put them in such a light that I might hope for their aceeptanee." It is but just to say that in adopting this course Lord John Russell was at least consistent. To the proposal of M. Drouyn de LlitiyA of the 10th April our plenipotentiary had consented. `the late proposition of the Aust rian Minister went as far, perhaps, of tbo two, farther —With the principle of limitation ; but neither containedwe say it advisedly—the provisions of a safe and honourable peace. They might have been—they would have been, as we pointed out at the time—readily evaded by Russia ; they were thoroughly worthless as a basis for the settlement of the great question to which we are committed. The proposition of the 19th of April emanated from the French Envoy, and Count Buol had suf ficient address to make it appear in the last Confe rence that the latest proposition rested upon cer tain suggestions thrown out by M. Drouyn do Lhuys. But now comes the gist of the whole mat ter. M. Drouyn do Lhuys returns to his Govern ment, and finds that his views have been so little in accord with those of the Emperor, that he instantly tenders his resignation. Lord John Russell also returns home ; in due time the Aus trian proposition is presented to the British Go vernment and rejected. Lord John kept his word with Count Buol, we can well believe, and no doubt pressed his proposals, but he tailed to carry the Cabinet with him. Does be r esign ? By no means ; the " circumstances of the time" forbade such a course, and no man understands better than Lord John Russell the time f or an exhibition o , f , that virtue ; b u t the " unsuccessful negotiator voucheafes a further explanation of his conduct. " I think that if I had left office under the circum stances I have mentioned, I should not have been acting in consistency with what I have repeatedly declared as a rule to guide my conduct—l mean that in the end, and as a last resort, the question whether the propositions should be received or not, was for the two Governments to determine, and not for a Plenipotentiary ;" but surely Lord John had laid down his functions as Ambassador on his return, and had resumed his seat in the Cabinet as a Secretary of State. The Conference at which Count Buol made his last proposal was held on the 4th of June, Lord John Russell had returned in May. It was the substance of that proposal to which he had assented, and which he exerted himself on his return to press upon the Government. What may have passed at those Cabikiet meetings at which the Austrian proposals were debated and finally rejected we shall never know ; this much is certain, —the French Emperor bad resolved upon their prompt rejection ; the Cabinet knew his determination, and we can un derstand the effect of that knowledge on their divided councils. The unexpected disclosure for which we are in debted to Lord John Russell has come upon the country in an hour, as it seems to us, of extreme peril. Like the flash of lightning that reveals to the traveller the precipice towards which he was advancing in the thick darkness, the announce ment and confession of Friday night open up, a s if by accident, to the perception of the nation the real danger of its position. For ourselves, we i:ave watched the Cabinet of Lord Palmerston with even more suspicion than that of Lord Aberdeen, inas much as it was guided by a more dexterous, and, therefore, a more dangerous chief. We have not watched, nor, we trust, warned in vain. The po• sition of the British army in the Crimea, for want of men and the means of transport, is, perhaps, the best comment upon the truth of our reiterated re marks. The country understands why it is that it has never yet been asked by the Government to put forth its strength—and that is, because neither this Government nor its miserable predecessor ever de sired to prosecute the war in earnest—because their councils were ever divided, and never vigor ous. Here is the prolific source of all our disasters and of all our shame—confessed, pointed out by one of the party themselves, who has, for the second time within the last eight months, turned approver, and each time with increasing loss of re putation. Lord John Russell, as a last resource, appears to have accepted the leadership of the peace party—he will, perhaps, break up the Go vernment of which he is a member, but he mistakes the people of England if he imagines they will tolerate a Peace Administration. We accept Lord Palmerston's estimate of the language and prin ciples of the opposition on the great question of the age—they have had too sorrowful an experi ence of a vacillating and hesitating policy not to cling to the belief that, if we are to come out of this death grapple in which we are engaged with life, it must be by a display of indomitable energy and unconquerable vigour. CALIFORNIA. By the arrivals at New York of the steam-ships Star of the West, from San Juan, with $696,306, and the George Law,from Aspinwall, w i th $1,052,287 in specie, on freight, the advices from California are to the 2d June. Those from the interior give glowing descriptions of the country and the general prosperity of the various branches of industry, particularly mining. The municipal election in San Francisco took place on the 28th May, and resulted in the disas trous defeat of the Know-Nothings. The Demo cratic candidates for mayor, treasurer,. comptroller, harbour master, and surveyor were chosen by small majorities. To the common council both the Know-Nothings , and Democratic parties elected four members to each board. The result created great enthusiasm among the democracy, who cele brated the event by popular demonstrations of parade and noise. The creditors and time-certificate holders of the late banking-house of Page, Bacon, and Co. had held several meetings relative to the refusal of Mr. Daniel D. Page to make the parties whole who came forward to sustain the house at the time of its first suspension. After some delay, at a meet ing on the 29th of May, Mr. C. K. Garrison came forward and pledged his property to the amount of $400,000 in support of the house, by way of securing the creditors and staying all further legal proceedings. This proposition is said to have given general satisfaction. The affairs of Adams and Co. were undergoing investigation in the courts, and it had been decided that bankers were not entitled to the benefit of the insolvent law. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS D.
