The reply to Prince Gortschakoff is, however, waited for more as a tribute to diplomatic decorum than from any lingering expectation that it can change the aspect affairs have assumed. The belief that a peace can be arranged at present has been abandoned by all parties. The diplomatic circle assembled at Vienna acknowledge with one consent that the war must go on. The nego tiators are naturally reluctant to confess, even to them selves, that their labours have been utterly fruitless. By a pardonable self-deception they contrive to persuade theniselves that they have at least settled the basis upon which peace will ultimately be concluded, when the time for renewing negotiation arrives. But impartial bystanders—who have no reputation staked on the issue of the. Conferences—may be allowed to doubt whether any satisfactory basis of peace can be agreed upon at present: The events of the war must determine that basis ; and who can foresee at this moment what those events are to. be ?

"crethvleließ'', by_enerely eleneliffig reiettT'Vell — dii;ii pa teds The Russians are not by nature a warlike race ; they prefer the more tangibly remunerative enterprises of commerce; but they are enterprising in their• own way—they are endowed with an inexhaustible fund of dogged, passive courage—they ai e led on by able generals—and the mass of the people have just attained to that degree of civili sation which admits of their being imbued with a fanati cal faith in the right divine of kings or emperors. Rus sian power of national endurance is not to be tested by the same standard as that of other European nations, for the social condition of Russia has more in common with an Assyrian or an Aztec empire than with modern European civilisation. Abstractedly, we may take fer granted that either France or England is more than a match for Russia—much more both combined. But when we come to details, we find ourselves so ignorant of Russian resources, and Russian modes of thought and feeling, that it is utterly impossible to conjecture before hand how long it will require to bring the Russian Government to sue for peace on any terms, or to see clearly what means must be adopted to reduce it to such a condition of conscious weakness. All that can be done is to urge on the war promptly, reso lutely, vigorously—to feel our way as we go, and adapt our conduct to circumstances. But even at this early stage, it is evident that one thing is indispensable to sue csss—that our Government lay aside that dilettante poco-curante spirit ley which they have hitherto been pos sessed. The demon Laissez-faire, which has so long haunted our Government offices, must once for all be exorcised and laid in the Red Sea. System and order must be in troduced into the management of the army and all -the auxiliary civil services. Able and energetic men must be substituted in all posts and departments for detected incapables. This second requisite is even of more conse quence than the first. The worse our system of military administratien— the more difficult and tedious the task of remodelling it—the more necessary it is to employ men of ,agacity, inventiveness, and enterprise. Till our military system is amended—while the work of amend ment is in progress—the pereonal qualities of the men employed must be such as to compensate for the defi ciencies of the system. The national prestige is at stake, and all other considerations must give way to that of maintaining intact the national reputation—almost as indispensable as the national strength to oar security. All considerations of professional etiquette—of the prior claims of seniority or titular rank—must be overridden, if necessary, in order that the right men may be installed in the right places. In the army an entire change of the heads of departments—beginning, we regret to say, with the Commander-in-Chief—must take place. Slowly and reluctantly have we arrived at this conclusion. We know how often the Englishman conceals a fiery and impetuous spirit beneath an apathetic ex terior. We gave Lord Raglan the benefit of the pre sumption that his apparent listlessness and helpless ness might be merely the results of an undemonstrative ' nature—that he was active and provident beyond what deportment towards his soldiers induced men to give him credit for being. But accumulated evidence has forced upon us the conviction that in his case the outer is but too true an index of the inner man. Lord Raglan may bee competent General of Division, but he is utterly inadequate to the arduous charge of Commander-in-Chief —a judgment of him pronounced by the greatest living English authority in military matters before the Crimean expedition left Varna. Lord Raglan, in the words of Marshal St. Arnaud, has all the valour of the old heroic times. He is sincerely attached to his profession. He has discharged irreproachably the routine duties of sub ordinate employments. But a Commander-in-Chief must be more than this. Let any one consult Gurwood's "Wellington Despatches," and he will find that great man, throughout the Peninsular war, attending to—pro viding for—everything by his own forecast and exertion. His correspondence about the procuring of grain for his army is a model by which our most sagacious and ex tensive corn-dealers might profit. Lord Ragan has been contented to have all these things done for him by others, and to throw the blame of any failure upon individuals or the heads of departments. He has seen the incapacity of his staff, yet has taken no step to sutstitute more trustworthy officers. He sits at his head-quarters receiving reports, and writing de spatches, and allowing affairs to take their own course. The picture of his residence in a letter from a casual visitor to the camp, which we published a few days ago, is the picture of the man. Lord Raglan, with his well-stocked poultry-yard, is neither more nor less than a respectable country gentleman, thrown by some unaccountable accident into the office of Comman der-in-Chief. Peter Pindar's description of Farmer George, invested by the accident of birth with the cha racter of George the King, might, with a few slight changes, be made exactly applicable to Lord Raglan in his actual position. The first indispensable pre -re q uisite to the success of the war in the East is the recal or re signation of Lord Raglan. And one main object of such recal or resignation is to have a man placed at the head of the army who would begin by making a clean sweep in every department under him. Young, ardent, enter prising men are required, not only to carry into effect any Army Reform resolved upon by the Home Govern ment, but to suggest from their own observati.in and experience the details of such a reform, and to supply the existing want of system by their own high qualities till the reform can be carried into effect. THE VISIT OF NAPOLEON 111. ( Prom the Morning Herald of this day.) The French Royal yacht for the conveyance to our shores of the Emperor Napoleon 111., accompanied by his illustrious and' estimable consort, has been ordered for the 15th inst. The visit of the Imperial family of France happens most opportunely, and will, we trust, prevent the conclusion of a dishonourable and unsatis factory peace with Russia. The efforts of the English Ministry are at this moment directed towards the ac complishment of a result so humiliating to us, which must prove so disastrous to the independence of the smaller states of the great European confederacy, and so prejudicial to the future welfare and progression of man kind. If anything can put a stop to the infamons intrigues now going on amongst those in authority here it is the generous influence of the French Emperor. Through out this contest he has taken the initiative ; he has cut short concession, and vigorously opposed timid counsels ; he has invested a dreamy and lethargic diplomacy with spirit and integrity ; and he has turned Aide the troubled currents of treachery and dissimulation. We, there fore, hail his coming amongst us as a pledge that our national character shall not be lowered in these terrible conferences at Vienna ; that neither Lord John Russell in the very citadel of diplomatic sophistry, nor Lords Palmerston and Clarendon at home, shall be, permitted to barter away the rights so freely purchased by our fathers on many a well-fought field, nor the renown achieved by their enduring constancy, for a longer lease of misused authority, and a continual gratification of their grovelling desire for the sweets of offic e. Famil y ties and party connections have engrossed the attention of the Coalitionists; for in their vocabulary patriotism means self-aggrandisement. Those higher spheres into which Men ought not to enter unless their minds are actu ated,by the purest motives, have been sullied by factious disputes and acts which can never be palliated nor excused. Unless they wish most fully to unveil the rottenness of their system to one of the ablest legislators of the day, they must prepare to meet Napoleon with becoming de cency, and some regard for the interests of a State upon which they have inflicted grievous and irremediable suffering. Having given expression to this hope, we dismiss those who have proved to be the worst enemies of Eng land's ascendancy, and turn our attention towards that illustrious potentate and statesman whose friendship, though not of long-tried endurance, has hitherto proved sincere and unassailable. The interchange of courtesies amongst the rulers of different countries has not hitherto been attended with very beneficial results, either for the Sovereigns most especially interested, nor the people over whom they ruled. Even Royal alliances have but too often disap pointed the expectations of the contracting parties. The Imperial race from which the first Napoleon selected the partner of his glory and his greatness figured amongst his most implacable opponents. It is certainly true that the giddy multitude have indulged in certain ap pearances of an intense satisfaction whenever by chance ‘ltoyal visitor has appeared amongst us ; but, in spite of this, regal visits, although popular, have not hitherto been important. The mob eagerly press aroun d the gay a nd glittering cortege, and hail the ma gn ifi ce nt proces sion with noisy acclamations. Eve n th e m ost demo cratic sections of the community greeted the - late Em peror Nicholas, the most despotic o f S o v ere igns, with enthusiastic applause. It is the pageant that attracts their delight; its political significance enters not within the range of their philosophy. A holiday train, or any whose names figure in every-day transactions, the ho mage always paid to the great eked the affluent, kindle their curiosity. But we must idOk deeper than Royal ceremonials and Imperial alliances for that which stirs the inmost soul of a nation. Its impulses are not of an evanescent character ; they owe their existence to some. thing more enduring than cominon curiosity, courtly etiquette, or family interest ; and it is this fact , which invests with so hi g h a n importance the approaching visit of the Emperor Napol eon . lie will be, indeed, the guest of our most grac i ous Q ueen, b u t h er Majesty will tender her best hospitalities in the name of the people. The whole nation rises up to greet with unbounded joy the visitors of its Sovereign. Iri; bidding the Emperor and Empress of France welcome-tes this land, Victoria speaks in the true character of ait English Monarch, as the' representative, the oracle of every class within her ' dominions. Never was welcome so princely and sin: sere, nor homage so unbounded. Other sovereigns of France have been entertained in this island with fitting hospitality and becoming friendship ; but Napoleon is the first that has come as the desired guest of all branches of the community. There is not a man in the three kingdoms, no matter how humble he 'may be, who will not feel himself honoured by the presence of Napoleon and his Empress, and give them iaarty welcome. The inward feeling, then, the life and soul of the greet ing, being so deep, let us hope thq the outward demon stration will he every way worthy of it. The citizens of this great metropolis, who wenttoongrattalate the Em perer...am—the—allianoe- forma W*tiell" the Obts l63- France and England, have not forgotten the cordial re ception they met with from all classes in Paris. The cor poration has already given evidences of its determina tion to tender hospitalities with no sparing hand. Nor must we at this moment altogether overlook the fact, that the firm and enlightened statesmanship of a Con servative Government laid the foundation of this alliance at once so beneficial and so pleasing to the inhabitants of both countries. Had Lord Malmesbury, following the lead of a large portion of the English press, and in de ference to the feelings of those who have since played their parts in Coalition Administration, encountered the Emperor Napoleon with coldness and disdain, we may rest assured that he never would come here as a guest to Queen Victoria. If, in compliance with the policy so popular three years ago, we had. slighted Napoleon on hispfirst accession to the Imperial dignity of France, we should never have had the opportunity of receiving him cordially in the plentitude of his power. Spurned and insulted by the natural ally of France, her ruler would have turned towards the despotic powers, and entered into alliances with the northern courts. In that case how different would have been the state of affairs at this moment ! It is no small triumph for the Conservative party that the most auspicious alliance of modern times is the sole result of their patriotic exertions ; and that the first thorough and sincere friendship formed between the two nations of France and England was made by Conservative statesmen, in direct opposition to the policy of the other political sections of the land. The Coalitionists may boast of this bond of union now ; they may applaud it as a tower of strength to our cause, , and seek to turn it to their own immediate advantage ; but they will do well to remember that the French , alliance formed no portion of their creed when they plotted to drive a Conservative Government from po wen Then they had other aims, and submitted to a different inspiration. We rejoice, however, that they have acknowledged their errors at last, and we trust that no sinister motives, no unworthy views, hat e conduced to their somewhat sudden and most ex traordinary conversion. The Queen of England in giving this princely invita tion, and the Emperor and Empress of France by their cordial acceptance of the same, set the seal to that bond of union formed between the two.nations. These peo ples, so often honourable foes, are firm friends at last. They have mingled together of late for their mutual ad vantage. They have broken through an absurd barrier of prejudice and unreasonable dislike, and looked rather curiously into each other's souls. Both have found qualities to admire—something which teaches them that they ought to be friends. They are the leaders in the great movement for social 'and general progression—the champions of oppressed nationalities ; both toiling, though perhaps in different ways, for the advancement of the human race. On stern battle-fields they have fought side by side ; in sore trials and afflictions they have ministered to each other's wants ; the wounded English soldier has been snatched from the blood-stained soil by his French comrade ; the grave of the Gallic hero watered by the tears of the British warrior. By many a lonely watch-fire, in the breken accents of a true affection, have friendships been contracted which death alone shall sever. There is nothing like the companion ship of danger for bringing out the pure ore of human character. May we not, then, confidently hope that this alliance will stand the wear and tear of human adversities ; that it will outlive the petty animosities of any momentary excitement ? May we not look upon it as something better than the vapourings of all the Peace Societies in the universe ? May we not regard it as a pledge that the two mightiest states in this world's history have discovered, that whilst in warfare they can gain little save the laurel that grows out of the tomb, their open and honest alliance will scatter the blessings of liberty on thousands of the oppressed, and bequeath the rich legacy of pease to after generations? Should the Russian war have shown the rulers of France and England their own destinies, the future his torian will chronicle it as the most merciful contest of all time. It will, indeed, be the means of saving whole hecatombs of human lives; and be a song of rejoicing by happy firesides now deeply veiled in the recesses of an inscrutable future. With such views and such aspirations we hail the visit of the French Emperor and Empress with unalloyed satisfaction. The nation will welcome them to these shores with one consent ; and the Imperial guests shall learn that there is no mistake in a hearty, honest, Eng lish greeting.

(From the Morning Chronicle of this clay.) Is Lord Palmerston to be the last of the oligarchs ? Does he represent an effete principle of Government, to be followed by a " revolution, of the kind in which th e sober and practical English people sometimes indulge themselves ? Or is he only an accident—a something thrown up to the surface in the turbid working of the political elements—an obstruc tion to the health y action of an ancient though still vigorous system, rather than its congenial exponent When Lord Palmerston was called upon to assume a kind of dictatorship, it was expected that he would re store the harmonious action of a disorganised machinery of Government. Failure was never for a moment anti cipated from a man whose admirers - had hacked him to do so much—and therefore the nation scarcely asked what would come after him. He has failed, however— utterly, egregiously failed—be has frittered away a po pularity and influence which no individual statesman has enjoyed since Pitt or Peel—and now men begin to ask, What is to be substituted ? Is the system to go with him—or can the Tories, or any other political party in the State, so purify and re-invigorate it as to make it work on again ? One thing seems to be universally agreed upon—that matters cannot be permitted to rest as they are. The universal questions are—What is to be done ? And —Who is to do it It is strange that on both sidei of us—in Continental Europe close to our shores, and far away in the West—. men should, by a similar process, have arrived at the same conclnsions, although from premises so different. In the United S tates t hey have not been governed by an Oligarchy. D emocracy, in its purest and has swayed the d es ti n i es o f undeveloped count r y. Y et dissatisfied with the or d er o f thingstmthh s t t i i emuo ; pmn f ee n e nt d tsaeearr are justly great r n e df a o t r sm national party has been silently formed, which already threatens in the to manifesto'overshadow ofthe all others in the community. It is remarkable with w h a t given, condition Of parties i n th e U n i te d States present he m n oment, applies t o th e case o f the know-nothings, precisionn ow- n a o t t ht the i hnegs description of United Kingdom. Word for word, the cat a l ogue o f s h or t com i ngs serves to,censu re th ose o f our own Whig t and Tory, Radical, Politico-Economic; or Irish C a th o li c parties. " All men acknowledge," say those clear-sighted Americans, " that the old and familiar parties are scarcely any longer cognisable by the original t es t s o f di st i nctive opinion. In the fading away of these, it is equally appa rent that they have lapsed into a conditi on w hi c h has lost them much of the confidewe of the people. They lie open to the reproach of substituting for holiest differe nces of judgment upon questions of public coneern, others of trivial import or even of mischievous extravagance. Many exciting subjects which, in the earlier stages of our progress, legitimately divided public opinion, have mani festly lost their significance in the estimate of the pre sent day ; and the country has seen with regret that as these have sunk out of view, new and less worthy topics of dissension have been thrust into their place —topics to be noted chiefly by the low motives they propose to a continued strife. They seem to have grown out of no better motive than a desire to keep up division for the profit of those who may thrive by it, in a career which looks to no object of honourable ambition, and scarcely affects to refer to the public good. Party action has thus, in great degree, lost all dignity above that of a mere struggle for the power of dispensing patronage, and has done what it could to inculcate in the mind of the people an opinion that Government is but a complicated system of rewards for office seekers, in whom the faculty for faithful service is the last and least of the qualifications they are expected to present." It is precisely of these evils that the people of England now make their plaint—as yet muttered only; but soon to burst in thunder. They have yielded up the legisla tive and administrative °Went° an oligarchy, and have been content to balance between the several parties into which it has been divided. But those parties have " lapsed into a condition which, has lost them much of the confidence of the people." The people of England are rapidly becoming " Know-Nothings," too. They are beginning to confine their attention to the one great question—how to get adequately performed the great work of Government. It is not that they are prepared to'back anonymous agitators in any crusade against the aristocracy as an institution. They have no desire to make a revolution in order to thrust a few ambitious and pretentious men into high positions. They will not, like the Chinese peasant in - Lamb's tale, burn their house in order to roast their pig. No ; they want men. If they can get them, they will adopt them instantly. Their being aristocrats would be rather in their favour than otherwise. But men they will have, and that speedily. They thought that they bad found what they wanted in Lord Palmerston. Their disappointment' is rapidly deepening into indignation ; and hence the dan ger lest they should confound the man with the system, and, in angrily di§plOing the one, should sweep 'away the other. In France they have somewhat anticipated us and the Americans in point.a time. The Emperor Napoleon the Third is only a French " Know-nothing.'"' Think you that he is so admired and respected because he is a Bo naparte Not at all. Bonapartism helped tq raise him to eminence, because the people were tardily repentant and grateful to their dead hero. But Bonapartism,; in a dynastic sense, has not made him what he now is--the Ruler 'of Franco, not in right of his descent, by rea son of his deeds. It is true that he ..represents Bona - parttneasids . unele-wisized - toltavid'elt - 1-lArCia4bas put on it a stamp - of his own. Bonapartism, as he inter prets it, " knows nothing" but the grandeur and prospe rity of the nation, the healthy administration of public affairs, and the vigorous organisation and, supervision of the civil and military services. Napoleon the Third " knows nothing" of parties, dynastic or political. He does not legislate for classes, and is magnanimously ab stinent from creating a new titled aristocracy. He is a leveller, but it is to raise rather than to pull down. It is because he has substituted a strong, healthy, and vigorous system of government for the anarchi cal state cf parties preceding it—a state of parties paralleled by that in England and America at the pre sent time—and has created a practical equality for the benefit of all classes, that he is now growing to be re garded as the Man of his Time, and is rapidly becoming the idol of his countrymen. If our governing classes do not mind what they are about, the English people will become " Know-No things ;" and that not merely in the sense to which we have above referred. A quarter of a century has elapsed since they thoroughly aroused themselves to a considera tion of their affairs. We deeply regret to express our conviction that there are ready the elements of a National Movement, very different from those Organised Shams which have been got up since by religious or commercial demagogues—a real upheaving of the national heart and will—a something that will spring, not from passion or interest, but from deep-rooted conviction. If this begins —and it is never wise to go to sleep over a volcano— where will it stop ? There are not wanting profligate publicists, demagogues, anonymous or avowed, to turn it to account. If a notion should sink into the na tional mind, that those who have hitherto been entrusted with the work of Government have misinterpreted or neglected their mission, might it not come to pass that the English people, in their turn, would "know nothing" of parties or privileges, of tradition or cus tom, and would rudely take up the neglected task ? It is not impossible that a spirit of fairness might lead to one cf those parties being permitted one more trial. There is something in the present attitude of the Tories which rather propitiates public feeling than otherwise. But would they be equal to the work ? II they should prove so, no party feeling would interfere with their un bounded popularity. Lord Palmerston stands in the way. He has disap pointed every one. Samson dozes, or coquets with the political charmers who will prove his ruin. Neither at home nor abroad is the Ministry respected. We are stag nant as regards domestic legislation, yet precious time is being wasted in negotiations which the public begin to regard as delusive. The Do-Nothings may be succeeded by the Know-Nothings ; and, bad as matters are at pre sent, England night find that such a change was for the worse. THE INQUIRY INTO THE STOWING OF CARGOES ON BOARD TRANSPORTS. ( From the Times of this day.) There lies before us the result of a commission of in quiry. It is such a commission as we were to have had a dozen of, and have now, we believe several for inquir ing into the several services, instead of the Committee of mi t t h te is e now sitting "upstairs." The particular matte inquiry is the selection and the stowing of the cargoes of the Manilla, the Prince, and some other transports ; for, as it appears, one cannot go into the cargo of one ship without finding oneself drawn into the cargo of another. There is nothing like letting people tell their own tale, and we will endeavour to let the Government tell its own tale of the hapless Prince. Mr. Reade, acti ng as Apothecary-in-Chief at Scutari, having . b een requested to state officially " why the medicines, materials, &c., embarked in the Prince were not landed on the arrival of that vessel," wrote on Novem ber 7, two days after the said arrival, that, " on apply ing to the captain of the Prince to have the medical stores immediately lauded, he replied that it was per fectly impossible to do so, as when these stores were em barked they w er e p u t onboard in such a way that they were in different parts of the vessel, and that shot, shell, and gunpowder were over them, which must be landed for the fleet, and his orders were positive from the ad miral to proceed immediately to the fleet on landing the specie which he had on board." Such was the origin of a rumour which derived a melancholy interest from the fact that the stores which the captain could not land at Scutari he was not permitted to take into the harbour at Balaklava, and shortly after was wrecked with them on the outside, when all went to the bottom. The re sult was that the sick and wounded of Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman—the last battle fought on the very day the Prince arrived at Scutari suffered the want of those stores, and no doubt many died in conse quence. The expression that the shot, shell, and powder were " over" the medical stores put all th e departments on their defence, and the papers before , us contain the process of expurgation. No doubt', this is one of the instances_ to which Sir Charles Wood alludes when he says that no specific charge had been made which had not been wholly disproved. The rather numerous officials employed in the lading of the Prince assert more or less confidently—one or two as a matter of fact within their knowledge, others as an undoubted inference from the routine, or from the suc cessive places of lading—that the medical stores were not, or could not possibly be, placed at the very bottom of the Prince's hold. In fact, Captain Goodall himself ascribed the rolling of the Prince to the shot-at the bot tom of the hold ; and, as there could not be two things at the bottom, the medical stores were not there. But what if the stores were not at the very bottom of the Prince ? The charge was rather a serious one, but it has only been disproved to burst like a 13-inch s hell and scatter destruction on everybody concerned in the Prince, for never did we read such a mass of confusion, carelessness, stupidity, and blundering as comes out in the evidence and letters before us. The captain, it will be remembered, was retained by the Admiralty in command of the ship, notwithstanding a serious corn• plaint of his conduct in the Baltic, and a distinct warn ing that he would bring the ship to disaster. Well, peace to his manes ; he is now given up with the utmost alacrity. The Woolwich people had to compel him to turn out more than a hundred tons of stores, rum, wine, &c., which they found he had introduced into the hold for the use of his company's transports or on private speculation. They don't tell us how, and where, and when this operation took place, or how they know the captain did not smuggle his private stores back into the ship before he got out of the river. The captain, baffled in his private ventures, appears, on the evidence, to have almost entirely given up all concern about the load ing of his ship ; he just called now and then, not more than an hour each day, while she lay in the river. His officers, with a single exception, were equally indifferent. The crew kept out of the way, and, even when some of them were got to the ship, would do nothing. One poor middy was at his post, and we trust is now rewarded for his solitary faithfulness with something better than Admiralty promises. It is believed, with good reason, that the captain had not the least idea where the dif ferent parts of the cargo were stowed ; the Admiralty agent, the first officer, and, as it appears to us, some other officer of the ship, left her before the ship was out of the river. It is only assumed, rather doubtingly, that there must have been a cargo-book, though we are not told who made one, or could have made one. It was the business of the "chief officer"—that is, the mate —to make one, and the bills of lading were given to him ; but, as he was asleep or reading a book all the time the cargo was shipped, and was removed be fore the Prince left the river, we feel very sure there was no cargo-book. In the document before us there are numerous references to certain diagrams of the ship and its cargo, but, as the diagrams, like the stores themselves, have not come to hand, we are left to our imagination on this point. The surviving midshipman of the Prince can say nothing from his own knowledge, but, from subsequent information, he has every reason to believe that the medical stores were stored in the upper part of th e f ore h old, and were readily access ibl e "by the removal of a number of sma'l painted bags from the hatchway." Another witness states that the gradual consumption of the ship's provisions would bring them to light ; another admits that a great quan tity of warm clothing, which the lighters were bringing to the ship's sides to the last moment, would probably lie upon them. Under all circumstances, considering the absence of anybody on board really cognisant of the cargo—the uncertainty about any book of the cargo — the fact that the cargo had been stowed just a; the lighters arrived at the ship, and they had arrived hap hazard—the fact of a great deal of stuffing and pack ing at the last moment, we are not surprised to see va rious estimates by equally competent authorities as to the time it might take the captain to extricate the me dical stores—one witness allowing two hours, another eight. 'We are not giving a tithe of what is stated to the prejudice of the captain, whom, at the first report of his disaster,.Government were only too anxious to de- fend ; but in justice to him it must be added that, after all, it was not his doing that he went on straight to his doom without stopping at Scutari, for, by the evidence of one of the few survivors, it appears that he was peremptorily ordered on by , Admiral Boxer, as indeed had been reported, in the first instance, by Mr. Reade. The Duke of Newcastle directed his Commissioners to inquire into two other charges-one, that a great number of bedsteads had been sent in one ship to Seotari, while the legs had gone in another to Balaklava. The atnriVer to this charge.is "not proven," inasmuch as it appears the Ordnance lightermen and others concerned in transferring the bedsteads and legs from the barges to , the'shipe can't say whether they pro portioned the packages or not. They were putting the whole into one ship, ivhen all would have been right, but suddenly they were- oidered to: stop, and take in some immeme iron cytinders which took up the rest of the tonnage and epac q , The remainder Of the cargo went in another ship, but whether, say, 467 bedsteads and 467 sets-of legs in Pee-ship, and 533 bedsteads and as many sets. of legs in another, they do not know ; and; as neither eomplaint nor reeeipt has reached any ptibsc department at . h.Orue, is impossible to say whether all is right or all very wrong. This looks a very slovenly way of doinibusiness, considering' the admirable system of checks one continually hears of; for it is evident that if the Ordnance lightermen bad dropped half the held steads, legs and 'all, by the way at some wholesale dealer's in marine stores, nobody would have been a bit-- theA wiser, and,a commission of inquiry would only have givAn. the same ver.'ct as this Aoes.

The question, however, is one of evidence, which is only weakened when it is backed by the argument of probability. If it is meant to be proved that the medical stores were really accessible, and that the captain had no ex cuse for carrying them on to Balaklava, as it ap pears he did, our readers shall judge for thein selves from the following passage in the report ; "It is clear, by reference to the sketch of the hold (vide Appendix, No. 3), that had the position of the stores at A been known to the captain and officers, a ready and easy access to them might have been obtained, without the removal or disturbance of any heavy stores, either by cutting scuttles at A through the deck, or through the bulkhead, which had been temporarily erected for the protection of the cylinders ; but, in con sequence of the captain and chief mate having been both removed before the sailing of the vessel, it is more than probable that their successors were unacquainted with the manner in which she was stowed, and that much more time was therefore consumed in getting at the stores than was at all necessary." As neither the cap tainl nor the mate knew where the stores were that seems to settle the question ; but, even in the case of the most exact knowledge, it appears they had only the choice of breaking through the deck or through a bulk head, that is, a cross partition of the hold. Why, as much as that could have been said even if the stores bad been actually at the bottom of the ship under the cylin ders ; for the captain bad only to cut a hole through the bottom, and the medical stores would have come out of their own accord. And this the Duke of NeT%- castle and Mr. Herbert would have us consider "entirely satisfactory ?" THE VIENNA CONGRESS. •( From the Morning Post of this day.) We have no doubt hilt that M. Drouyn de l'Huys is by this time at Vienna, and we are informed by a tele graphic despatch of the arrival of Aali Pacha. The Turkish plenipotentiary, Arif Effendi, who has hitherto represented Turkey at the Congress, is unable speak any but his own language. The arrival of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Turkey, who is a statesman of great distinction, well acquainted with the politics and languages of Europe, and who has represented the Porte both at this Court and in Paris, is thus an event of some importance. The Congress will, therefore meet en Monday in full complement, and, if Prince Gortschakoff's instructions have arrived, will proceed without delay to the discus sion of the terms of the third point ; and we shall shortly know whether the difficulties which arose with regard to the limitation of the Russian naval power have bees. cleared away, or whether they are insuperable—whether the pride of Russia will now yield, or will dare new contests. It is understood that the Porte, with the caution which has distinguished its diplomacy in the whole of the Eastern difficulty, has confided to Aali Pacha powers only ad referendum. That is, he can accept nothing definitive without referring to Constantinople for the special authorisation of the Porte. This proceeding, however, only causes delay in the process of acceptation of terms, but not in the rupture of negotiations, if such be destined to be the result of the deliberations at Vienna. Prussia, as we have always predicated, has been com pletely excluded from the Congress by her own ill con duct, of which almost every day gives further proofs. The Russian party is still all-powerful at Berlin, and continually urges the King to side more and more openly with Russia. We do not think he will do this ; for the selfish and short-sighted dread of war, which has re strained the Court of Berlin from joining England and France, will prevent it from openly adhering to Russia. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Some stir was occasioned in Portsmouth dockyard on Thursday evening, in consequence of a telegraphic re port having reached the authorities, stating that the Duke of Wellington, flagship of the Baltic fleet, had met with an accident on her passage to the Downs, and was expected to return to Spithead to repair the damages. The Echo steam-tug was put in requisition, and a num ber of shipwrights were at once sent out in her to look out for the Duke, but she did not arrive, and the tug returned to harbour after dark. At daylight yesterday morning she left harbour again in search of the flag-ship, and proceeded five miles beyond the Nab, but saw nothing of the object of her search ; she fell in, however, with something that gave a clue to the reported disaster ; this was a fine American ship, the George Hurlbut, Captain Post, from Antwerp for New York, with emigrants; she had lost bowsprit, foremast, head, cutwater, and port anchor, bows stove in, &c., having been in collision on Weinesday night, at 10 30, with a large English man-of war, 10 miles W.S.W. of Beach) , Head, supposed to be one of the line-of-Batt'• ships of the Baltic fleet, but the touch was so imperceptible, and the damage so instanta neous, that no shock was felt below, and, the night being dark and thick, neither ship hailed or made out the other until close in contact. The met cbantman was towed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday, and a hulk applied for to the Admiral-Superintendent by Lloyd's agents, in which to berth the emigrants while the ship is being repaired ; meanwhile a full report of the depo sitions of the officers on board has been sent to the Ad miralty. The Geyser, 6, paddle-sloop, and the Ruby gun-boat left Spithead on Thursday evening to join the fleet. Rear-Admiral Baynes struck his fly at sunset on Thursday night on board the Retribution steam-frigate, and went on leave. The hired paddle-wheel steam-vessel Sea Nymph, Captain 'fallen, No. 118, arrived at Plymouth yester day. She sailed from Constantinople on the 16th o March, and arrived at Malta the 20th and left on the 22d ; reached Gibraltar on the 29th, and sailed there from on the 30th. Between Malta and the Straits she encountered a severe gale from the westward, and since leaving the Mediterranean has experienced strong northerly gales, accompanied with heavy seas. From Constantinople she conveyed to Malta the Hon. Captain Yelverton and other military officers, and she has brought home from Constantinople Lieutenant-Colonel Deverell, 19th Regiment ; Captain Brown, of the 41st ; Mr. Thompson, Commissariat Department ; and _from Malta, Lieutenant Welder, 46th ; Lieutenant Borten, 9th ; and Lieut e nant Adjutant Bennot, of the 63d, all invalided from the Crimea. The Sea Nymph is ordered to Deptford. The hired transport Victor, Captain Rose, No. 193, with the staff of General Vivian, bound to the Black Sea, will be detained at Plymouth until Wednesday or Thursday next. A new piston is being made for one of her engines. The sailing transport Mary Ann, at Plymouth, was discharged yesterday from the Government service. Her spars are defective. The screw steam-ship Lady Alice Lambton, Captain Abel, of Wisbech, in the employ of the Crimean Railway Expedition, which conveyed to the Black Sea the first shipload of navvies, arrived at Plymouth yesterday morn ing. She left Balaklava March sth, reached Constan tinople on the Bth, left the 15th, called at Malta on the 20th, and sailed therefrom on the 21st ; arrived at Gib raltar on the 30th, and left on the 31st. She brings cabin passengers—Mrs. Colley, Mrs. Newton, Lieute nant Millar, R.N., and Mr. Cavannab, in the service of the Railway Expedition - Fore cabin—Richard Pace, James Devine, Jacob Perkins, James Cook, George Parr, and Charles Quirk, invalided seamen from the 'screw steam-ship Hesperus ; John Downham, invalided navvy, from the Wildfire ; Thomas Freak, Andrew Rogers, and Richard Vinall, discharged navvies ; George Crane, and William Norris, engineers, from the paddle-wheel steam-boat Cumberland, belonging to the North of Europe Company, and five seamen paid off from the tug-boat Express, which has been sold. On the 30th of March, thirty miles east of the Rock of Gibraltar, spoke the brig Express, of Hull, from Rio Janeiro for Marseilles. On the sth inst., in the Channel, passed the Antoinette, of Amster dam, from London, with passengers for Sydney ; all well. The Sardinian screw steam-ship Vittoria Emanuelle, Capt. Pittaluga, in the employ of the French Govern ment as a transport, has completed her repairs at Ply mouth. She hauled out of Keybatn Dock, and went into Plymouth Sound on Wednesday evening, and on Thursday sailed at 5 a.m. for Marseilles. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Parana, Capt. ' Elliston, left Southampton yesterday for Marseilles. This vessel has been chartered by the French Govern ; reent for the conveyance of cavalry to the Black Sea.

In:order to give the reception of the Duke of Cam bridge greater eclat when he visits the Mansion-houss -on -Monday next, a guard of honour consisting of 100 rank and file belonging to the Light and Grenadier Com eGnretranandcieesr, panies of the City of London Militia have been told off, 4 4-fittWee of 92corting his goz2yainigl l nseci r om Temille-OarS—tia—foi.- furnishing- sentinels -at - lbw -AP. ct e m " pa t n e ies the ha M vi a n nei g completed their drill, have had the new regulation clothing and P T re he ee L h i e g e h ' t the e d accoutrements issued to the men ; they consist of a tunic coat with butt )ns having the city arms in alto-refievo, a new regulation Albert shako, with the city arms and motto in a garter in front, and the regulation accoutre ments, the old bayonet sidebelt being superseded by a waist belt, connected in front by a locking -plate, with the city arms. The regiment was inspected yesterday morning, after which the men attended divine service at St. Paul's Church, Bunhill-row. Four companies of the 2d Royal Cheshire Militia—viz., • 10 officers and 260 men—from Stockbridge, arrived at Plymouth on Thursday afternoon, and marched int* barracks at Devonport. About 24 of the men who last week left the 2d Somer. setshire Regiment of Militia at Plymouth returned and rejoined the corps on Thursday. It is said that 100 more will return in the course of a rew days. More than 100 of the Berkshire Militia have refused to serve beyond the 56 days in each year, the term for which they originally enlisted ; they have been dis charged. Nearly all those now remaining in the regi ment have volunteered for foreign service. On Monday last the 3-A Middlesex Militia completed their 56th day since being called out for permanent duty. The majority of the men attested in 1852 and 1853 took the 1/. bounty, and were re-sworn, and 136 claimed to be released from further service this year. Of these last-named several have already rejoined, having now determined to prolong their service. In this regiment no insubordinate spirit has been shown. The officers and men are in great hopes that their offer for foreign service will be accepted by Government. During the past week a considerable number of the men of the Ist Regiment of Devonshire Militia, how stationed at the barracks at Newport, Monmouthshire, have intimated their intention of availing themselves of Lord Panmure's Act, and thus oktsining their liberation. All the men enrolled prior to the 12th of May are thus free, and in this regiment they numbered about 300. Of these, however, many have re-volunteered, and }lave Leen paid the extra bounty. It is expected that , : the regiment will lose at least 200 men. Their original strength was about 700. The Northamptonshire Militia is under orders for Plymouth, on its way to the Mediterranean. This is the only regiment in Dublin which has not sustained the loss of many of its men, it having attested 538 for foreign service before Lord Panmure's circular was received. Lieutenant Donald has resigned, being appointed to a captaincy in the 2d Royal Lanarkshire. Arrangements were made yesterday for the departure of 1 officer and 40 men of the West Somerset Militia. from Plymouth for Taunton ; they will be followed on Tuesday by the remainder of the regiment—say, 27 offi cers and about 200 men. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Sir R. W. Carden placed in the hands of the reporter a report made by Acting•ln spector Harding, of the city police, relating to the matter of a summons upon which the alderman had been called upon to adjudicate, and which at the time was so extra- ordinary as to induce him to direct a strict investigation, in order to ascertain whether the statement made by the constable at all corroborated that made by the cabman upon the hearing of the summons. The following is the essential part of the acting inspec tor's special report :77 Police-constble Oliver, 524, was summoned to appear at the Mansion-house on the 6th of March, to answer the complaint of the driver of cab 3,358, for refusing to pay him Bs. 6d. due to him for conveying to the union an insane man whom the police-constable found in Ald gate at half-past 12 o'clock a.m., on the 27th of February last, in almost a state of nudity, and %Cul appeared to be suffering severely from the cold. Being unable to get from him his place of abode, the police-constable had him conveyed to the relieving-office in Northumberland alley, from which place he was sent to the East London Union in Aldersgate-street (Aldgate being out of the City of London Union District), but, finding that place closed, as also that in Dunning's-alley, he proceeded to the residence of the relieving-officer, who bad removed from New-square, Minories, to Skinner-street, from whom he obtained an order for the man's admission into the union at Homerton. The cabman was engaged five hours and a half, and the authorities of the East London Union refused to pay him more than 2s. 6d., his fare being lls.. The following are the particulars - of the case heard before Sir R. W. Carden at the date alluded to : Charles Oliver, 424, was summoned by Frederick Pas quail (cab driver) who said—l was fetched from Aldgate stand between 12 and 1 o'clock on the night of Monday week, to go to Northumberland-alley to take up a per son who was destitute. When I got there the defendant and another officer put a man into my cab. All the man had on was a hat, a shirt, and a pair of shoes. It was bitter cold, and he complained of Laing cold, and I was told to drive to Aldersgate street workhouse. The defendant went with me, and rang the bell for some time without being able to make anybody hear, and the officer on the beat told us that the workhouse was removed to Smithfield, and I was ordered there, and when we got there the defendant pulled the bell at the workhouse and the door was answered by a man to whom I heard the defen dant tell the state in which the man in the cab was. The porter refused to have anything to do with him, and we then went to the Seething-lane station, and thence to the workhouse in Dunning's-alley. I rang the bell for some time, and a person inside said they had removed to Homerton. The man inside the cab was all the time complaining of the cold. I then went back to Seeth ing-lane station and waited there about an hour, while a man was sent to New-square, Minories, to find the re lieving officer. He, however, had removed to Slcinner street, to which place I drove. We there saw the re lieving officer, who said he had nothing to do with the case, and that I must take the man back to Northum berland-alley, and so we went back to Seething-lane again, and then we were sent back to Skinner -street, where we again saw the relieving officer, who gave an order for the man to be taken to Lower Homerton, and I took him there. I then brought the defendant hack to the relieving officer, who told me I was to come,for my money next day. My fare was lls. for five hours and a-half, and I received 2s. 6d., and there is due' to me Bs. 6d. Sir R. W. Carden expressed great surp rise a t the state ment, especially upon being informed that the insane man had been found in the immediat e vicinity of North umberland-alley, where assistance had been refused. The defendant—l found the unfortunate man withia six yards of the district of North umberland-alley, and I told the person whom I saw ther e th e state o f d est i tut i on in which he was. Sir R. W. Carden —I thought the 20s. penalty I in. fiicted upon the Northumberland-alley relieving officer would have led to some improvement, but it appears that in this in stance, as the po or m an w a s n o t f oun d w ithi n the exac t dis trict, there had been no violation of the s t r ict letter of th e l aw. Th ere h as b een , it seem s, no act o f illegality, b ut t h ere has b een a gross ac t o f i n h uman i ty committed. I consid e r that the defendant has conducted himself in the m os t cre ditable manner. The po or crea ture whom he tried to serve might have died if active exertions had not been made to save him. The police sergeant said that, in all probability, the man would have died in the cab if a rag had not been wrapped around him. Sir B. W. Carden—The cabman shall be paid his de, mand and expenses. It is most deplorable that there is no place within 4A miles of London in which destitute persons, afflicted with so awful a malady, and found in the East London Union district, can be placed in the most inclement weather. I trust that the culpable want of accommodation by which the lives of our fellow-crea tures are constantly hazarded will cause interference by those whose complaints ate likely to be attended to. Very few people would, in my opinion, credit the lamentable fact that a fellow-creature should be subjected to so much misery before his admission to the proper asylum for the reception of objects of the kind. I w as no t be fore aware that the poor found in the city were com pelled to travel to so great a distance before they could get a resting•place for their weary limbs. THE LAST OF SONTAG. — Accounts from Hattburg of the 3d inst. mention the arrival of the Danish brig, Juno, Capt. Bohn, from Laguna, with the remains of the Countess Rossi, better known by her maiden name of Henrietta Sontag, who, it will be remembered, died of the cholera whilst making a professional tour in Mexico. The corpse—which is preserved in three coffins, one within the other—was forwarded by railroad to Berlin in the first instance, where the widower was accredited formerly as the envoy of the King of Sardinia.
