URI; 14 11+0.4 was known about them in this country that Sir Charles cer• tainly has suffered no loss of credit for not destroying,. what was ; .not even. known to exist. The disappointment, the puzzleof the people, is this ••--ihhy this immengesfleeCT Why these magnificent steamers, so colossal and yet so manageable! Why ships twice as big as Ne'seL's biggest, witif twice AA much weight of Metal ? Why Sir Charles Napiei's big aimouncements ? Wiry the boastful and bullying tone of.thar . dinner at the Reform Club t` .. Why that ostentatious eared, up and down-the Baltic, with, every now and then, a repeti tion of the Portsmouth Review ? Why that " war to the knife with Russia" which Sir Charles on returning home told his gaping friends in Marylebone was the first article in political creed ? Why all this swagger, if nothing wr . . .-, done ? If that is all, if we can Only break our tea*: try them on the fortifications in the Balt'e, surely .ti:a., ..n be proved at less cost than- all this bluster, which is very costly indeed to the national credit. Sir' Charles seems to have found out no more than everybody knew. We all knew.that Cronstadt was a very, formidable place, that it was surrounded by miles of shallow water, and that the-elrannelwas nsrrow, circuitous, difficult to be traced, and . well enfiladed by numerous batteries. We complain that Sir I Charles left us at the end of the Aar just as we were at the beginning, neither str nger ror wiser. His speech on Tues day is of much the same unprogressive character. What are we the wiser for it ? These Admirals seem to think that the final purpo e of a fleet is to -look terrible,. to inancouvre, to communie it e by siguals, to r ndecvous now and then at some good anchorage or convenient poi t, to challenge with im punity, to 'command the seas within sight, and to return . home safe and sound, - having done nothing. What we ask for is something less magnificent, less terrible, less complete in itself, less addictedtto challenge the universe, but rather moYi. adapted to the particular purpose in view. Give us sqmething that shall take Cronstadt, however ugly, sneaking, unpoetical, unecnfortable it may look. A flotilla of gul-'3oats that would ~ really'do the business would be worth more than fifty Duke of Wellingtons - or Royal Alberts, which for all practical pur poses might as well be packet-ships, carrying soldiers, and defying the enemy, - not by guns, but by speed. We want tools, not for show, but to- do tho work ; AO if Sir Charles, or anybody - else of established reputation, has any feasible 'plan, let him offer it, but we shall think all the better of it if it dispenses with big ships and empty bragging, No. 19,458.] LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1855. I PRICE SD• PUBLICATIONS. DEATHS' AT SCUTARI, cEi. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. of 'duty, are not admitted to these tents for want ofroom. For this excessive sickliness of the troops the late Govern ment are clearly, in a great measure, responsible. Want of sufficient shelter for the troops is a main cause of the sickness and mortality in the army. Now, as soon as the Crimean expedition began to be talked of, Sir John Scott Lillie drew the attention of Lord Hardinge and the Government to the necessity of providing wooden huts in advance for the winter shelter of the soldiers ; but the first contract for such huts, in this country, was not entered into until the Crimean win ter had fairly set in. The sickness and mortality iu the army of the Crimea may be greatly diminished by accelerating the provision of shelter, and rendering more sure and regular, the distribution of clothing and rations for the soldiers. A beginning has been made towards the attainment of these ends ; but a large in fusion of fresh blood into the transport and commissariat ser vices, and sleepless superintendence and control on the part of the head of the Government, will be required to make, it more than a mere beginning. The sickness and mortality in *the army having been diminished, . the means of adding to its effective force will have next to be considered. A very remarkable letter from "An Old Trooper," which we publish to-day, presents a striking view of the man ner in whiuh the late disastrous news from the Crimea is contributing to render more difficult the raising of re cruits. This evil consequence of mismanagement can only' be counteracted by improving the condition of our sol diera in the Crimea. As soon as it shall appear that they have been rendered more comfortable, the military spirit of our peasantry will revive. But it is not merely men—it is an organised army that is wanted ; and to make an organised army we must h ave competent officers. To th i s en d one of the first duties of the new Premier and War Minister must be to throw aside the muster-rolls of 'tli, Horse Guards—to break through the conventional rules of promotion for mere seniority, and to trample upon the preference hitherto con ceded to the aristocracy. The officers—even those of the highest grade—for the army of the Crimea ought, as a rule, to be between the ages of 30 and 46; and they ought, if possible, to be men who have seen real service in the field. The officers of the regiments which have served in Africa and at the Cape ought to be preferred ; and it ought to be kept in mind that the Queen has two armies, and that is the duty of Ministers to make no distinction 'between them - , but to select capable officers as readily from the Indian army as from that which is called par excellence " The Queen l e. 4 There will be muttering among our Peninsular veterans at the pro , peal to bring forward younger men ; there will be clamour among the scions of aristocracy at the proposal to make capacity the sole title to employment and promotion ; there will be dismay and indignation throughout " The Queen's " army at the proposal to place the Indian army on a footing with them. But all this discontent must be disregarded, if the full military power of the nation is to be brought into play ; and the contest in which we are engaged demands out utmost efforts. At the head of an aug mented army, thus officered, ought to be placed an able General in the prime of life, able and willing to keep himself constantly in the eyes of his soldiers, to see everything with his own eyes, and to lay hand to work when any of the maehinery of the army is " thrown out of gear ing." We have'given more prominence to the improvements required in the human material of our army than to improve ments in organisation—not because we do not feel the urgent necessity of the latter, but because we are convinced that competent men and officers can do more, even under an in different system, than weaklings and fools can under the most plausible system that human ingenuity can devise. It will be no bad test of the competency of the new Pre mier and War Minister for their - task, the manner iu which they set about the indispensable innovations on the old sys tem of appointments and promotions in the army.

The Ministry is at length reconstituted ; the writs have been moved for Tiverton. and South Wiltshire ; her Majesty will this day deliver the seals of office to Mr. Sidney Herbert and Lord Psninure, the two new Secrete - idea - of State ; and the interval of twelve• days which so inopportunely suspended the activity of the British Government is at an end. The changes which have thus been effected, are not numerous, but they are considerable. Lord Aberdeen, Lord John Rus sell, and the Duke of Nesibastle quit the Cabinet, and Lord Paumure alone jaius it ; for, in consequence of the new ar rangements, these three resignations leave but one vacantly. It is to be hoped that the Government will gain - in vigour of direction and promptitude of execution by the change in the Premiership and the War Departineat ; and the retirement of Lord John Russell unquestionably removes the principal cause of internal divisions and weakness. In the present state of public affairs, when difficulties and dangers of no common Magnitude have to be surmounted, and the welfare and honour of the nation are most deeply concerned in every act of the Government, we hold it to be the first duty of every honest politician to give the New Cabinet that support which can alone enable it to grapple with emergencies, more terrible titan any of which this generation has had experience. It is with extreme pain and disgust that we observe, before even these Ministerial arrangements are completed, and before Lord Palmerston has had an opportunity to address a single proposition to Parliament, that the factious of either party are already venting their animosity and dis appointment on the unformed Ministry, and endea vouring to anticipate its ruin. Is this a time for us to be told that Lord John Russell ought to be placed at the head of the great Liberal party, or that Lord Derby ought to have brought back his followers to power, when within the last few days both these leaders have attempted to form Govern. ments by a combination with the self-same elements, and both have failed ? These negotiations have proved, if they have proved anything, that in the present state of parties and of men in the House of Commons no material change could be effected in the composition of the Ministry with any prospect of stability, and that, even at a moment of unexampled diffi culty and Ministerial dissolution, the choice of the Sovereign and the country is eonflned within a very narrow circle. This result is deeply to be deplored. No political party can perform its duty to the country, and assume the proper re sponsibility of its actions, which is not in a condition to take the government upon its own shoulders ; yet at this moment no political party in the State can perform that duty without the aid of its rivals and the forbearance of its opponents. This strange and inconvenient state of affairs seems at first sight inexplicable, when we contrast the limited demands of ithe public service and the great rewards attached to it with the vast intelligence and activity pf this nation. Is it, after all, so difficult to bring together 12 or 14 men of the same political opinions in the same Cabinet, and to select them mainly with a view to the work they have to do ? The true answer we take it to be, that the remedy is in the hands of the 'people, and that the people are chiefly to blame if they are not in possession of a powerful, capable, and effective Government. It is worth while, especially at this moment, to examine somewhat narrowly the causes which have placed us in this position, and contracted the mg sources of the Administration. The House of Commons, chosen by the people, is thebasis of our political system, and the first test the political aspirant has to undergo. As a seat in the House of Commons is an indispensable condition of high office in. the Government, the choice of the Crown or of the Minister engaged in the formation of a Cabinet does not range over tho whole community,.but over the 656 gentlemen sitting at Westminster. Of this number a third at least are of opposite polities, another third are out of the question for various reasons, and we doubt whether 100 members of the House of Commons can be said to possess tho requisites for the public service. Even this number would bo still further redueed if we subtract the men actively engaged in prefes- Now ready at all the booksellers', CHEAP EDITION of MISS STRICK LAND'3 LIVES of the QUEENS of ENGLAND.

(From the Morning Chronicle of this day 3 The Napiers have ever been an extraordinary family, well deserving the fame and honours they have enjoyed, and the public praises awarded them for their services, not to their country alone, but to all mankind. In arms, in science, sad is literature, _they hare been alike distinguished, and the pre sent age has especially been illustrated by their bravery and their talents. It is, however, a question whether they would not have better served their country, and still more their own reputation, had they been somewhat less versed in the arts of writing and public speak - leg. If anything can impair the lustre of their deeds, it certainly will be the extreme license which almost every member of this family, of the present generation, has permitted himself in referring to their joint and several services. - The speech of Sir Charles Napier at the ISfansion-house _dinner can scarcely be said to have taken the public by sur- • prise. Gentlemen of his race are equally unable to hear suc cess or failure. Sir Charles himself has been so accustb - med to adulation of which, we frankly admit, very much has been deserved --that he is morbidjy sensitive to criticism. Other commanders, admirals, and generals have been cen sured for' neglect, apathy, or more generally for disappointing the expectations of their countrymen ; yet they have not thought it necessary to break out in an extravagant manner at the first inappropriate opportunity, and cover their supe riors with obloquy. There were peculiar reasons, a ;lie Charles Napier must have read in the' newspapers, .why an attack on Sir Jame 4 Graham was at the present moment mi -1 becoming. ' If a man of the activity and specific political weight of the right honourable baronet has been prevented by illness from taking any active fart in negotiations, at a crisis when the public eonduct of his friends and colleagues • was in question, surely it could not be right to expect him to enter the lists with every exasperated commander, mortified at the public disapointment, and the collapse of all extrava gant expectations that had been formed' upon a memory of his, past exploits. • ESTERLISIIED 1803.

GREAT NEWCASTLE FIRE !-MILNERS' " HOLDF %ST" and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES, with Mil ners' New Patent Gunpowder Proof Locks. The strongest, best, and cheapest safeguards in the World against Fire, Robbery, or violence' The late fearful explosion and wide-spreal devastating Firo at Gateshead and Newcastle, destroyed property of the value of one million, converting a large area of warehouses (filled with sulphur, nitrate of soda, peat charcoal, and otht r highly combustible stores), whole stacks of offices, houses, &c., into a perfect volcano of fierce, concentrated, incinera ing, and long-enduring furnace heat, in which not only combustible things, but even br css, stones, and iron were burnt up and fused. Safes of the ordinary kind, iron doored strong rooms, were alike melted, torn asunder, their contents charred and destroyed. But amongst the many instances ofpreservation, Thomas Milner and Son have pleasure in giving publicity to the following gratifying testimonial:— " Neweastle-up , n-Tyne, Oct. 19,. 1854. . Gentlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our offices were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great dre which, on the Gth inst., reduced a great many buildings in 'Newcastle upon-1 yne and Gateshead to •a.hes, two of ' your large- Holdfast' Safes, in our offices, have been the means of preserving our books, bills, and other valuable documents, although these safes were ex posed for about nine to ten hours to an immense heat; and dug out of the ruins in a red-hot state. On opening them we found our princi pal books and bills in a good state of preservation. Some of the papers were singed and discoloured, bat we are happy to say they can be used for the main purpcise they were intended for. We feel it our duty to state these facts, and will thank you to make us new safes to specification.—We are, gentlemen, yours'truly, (From the Morning Advertiser of this day.) Now that Lord Palmerston has succeeded in forming-a - new Government, there can be no harm indetailing some of those difficulties which the noble lord had to encounter iu the ere-' cution of the task which her Majesty confided to him. On receiving his,Sovereigns commands on Sunday afternoon, to construct a new Cabinet, Lord Pahnerattni applied—for rea sons with which we are acquainted, though it would not be right to mention them—at once to Mr. Gladstone, Mr. S. Herbert, and the other leading Peelitek to join the new Ad ministration. In anticipation of the occurrence ot such- a contingency- as that of their being asked to join a Palmer ston Government, the Peelites had met on Sunday morning in• the house of Sir James Graham, he being confined to his room, and consequently unable 'to take part in their deliberations at any other place. The result of their-meet ing was, that they determined on refusing office under Lord Palmerston unless he would consent to appoint Lord Aber deen Lord President of the Council. This determination was formally communicated to Lord Palmerston early on Monday, and the noble lord intimated in reply, in the plainest terms, that if the Peelites declined to join him, except on the con dition of giving the Presidency of the Council to Lord Aber deen, he could and would form a Cabinet without them. He gave them, however, till the morning of the following day to re-consider the resoluti9u ts which they lidd come. Another meeting of their number Mok place in the interval—also in Sir James Graham's house—at which the Peelites came to the conclusion, that if Lord Palmerston would agree to gi ve t wo more of their number seats iu the Cabinet, they would join him in his Administration. The two parties for whom they stipulated were Lord Canning and Mr. Card :11. The pro position was at once rejected by Lord Palmc.ston ; but he went so far as to intimate his readiness to agree to such a compromise as should consist in his giving a seat to Lord Canning alone. The Peelites, acting chiefly raider the ad vice of the Duke of Newcastle, after some hesitation, though even then with manifest reluctance, assented to the terms, and thus terminated a most momentous Ministerial Crisis. sional pursuits or in business, which demands their daily at tention. We require in a man who is to be one of the Mi nisters of this country several qualifications—a seat in Par- Himont which be is not likely to lose on his le-election, an independent position, and leisure to, devote every hour of the day to the public service—a certain power of oratory, which is not always united to administrative talent a practical knowledge of business —an un blemished character, and eminent abilities. -Tried by this standard—which, however, is not an exaggerated one —how many men have the constituencies of this Country sent to Parliament who can be considered as fit to hold the power and responsibilities of the Government ? If the country complains, as it does with reason, that it has more difficulty in finding men capable of conducting its affairs than the great companies and associations which play so large a part in the social transactions of England, and that the political govern ment of thisnation is thrown into the hands of the aristocratic families, the cause of this.difficulty is, thaf the constituencies have not returned to Parliament a sufficient number of men competent to dispute or to share that influence, and to become the rulers of this empire. To raise the character of the House of Commons is an indispensable preliminary to the im provement of the Government. If there bo a dearth of states men and of leaders to whom the nation can look with confi dence and respect, the charge rests, in the .first place, at the door of those to whom the law has given the choice of our representatives, for out of the number of those representa- LEIDEICANN AND CO.

The exercise of the franchise alone qualifies men to enter the lists of public life ; that power 'is in the hands of the people ; and, in proportion as. it is used with dis criminationtua great nesstpresentsa4,paepmgoeir tor gr and :o i,hoefi purity , t hp y ; ot t r h o, results nn. tsoi:n w t im i w, ll c:Ft e ah ai; it the new Ad m inistrat i on does not cbcaiii from Parli ament n the resolve upon n ap peal to the count ui- Vq, ...whenever such an event doe:, occur, it is intyttai: urge too strongly on the doctoral body that they are bound to return men to whose keeping they are ready to confide - the destinies of the State. 'At prelent, - however, the-first duty of the - Govemment is to act with vigour in dealing with that terrible state of affairs which the whole correspondence.from the East but too fully confirms; and the impression to be produced on this coun try and on Europe by Lord Palmerston's Administration will not. a little depend on his first acts. It is obvious that there are changes to be made and defieiencies to be supplied in the most important branch of the public service, without which no improvement can be hoped for. Bold,.stringent, and de cisive measures are absolutely requisite. If they are taken, we have no doubt that Parliament and the nation will rally round the Government—if they are omitted, the country will ask what we have gained by this change. (From the Daily News of this day.) Lord Palmerston is Prime Minister of England. After forty-four years of official lite he has reached the top of the tree. Lord Palmerston owes the position ho occupies moreto his own abilities, and less to connections, than perhaps any of his associates or rivals in the political arena. Ho has ambition, and ho has the sentiments of an English gentleman. There are, therefore, good grounds for believing that he will aspire to render his Administration one of note and mark in the annals of his country • andithat he will. aim at this end by means conducive to the honour and interests of England. Whether he will be able to realise his aspirations, by the co operation of the Ministers he has associated with him in office, time will show. The material changes iu the composition of the Cabinet are confined to the secession of the Earl of Aber deen, the Duke of Newcastle, and Lerd John Russell ; and the accession of Lord Panmnre. In the Earl of Aberdeen, the country has got rid of a Premier whom the instinctive sense of the public - taught it to distrust and, recoil from, even before the damning evidence that has of late been produced revealed to all men his incapacity. In the Duke of Newcastle the country has got rid of a Mipister singularly tenacious of office, and singularly incompetent to discharge its duties. On the other hand, the country has lost in Lord John Rus sell a statesman whom recent revelations prove to have been earnest in urging his colleagues on to decided action, and in- tolerant of mere formalism in office. - How far the , accessioi of Lord Panmnre will compensate for the - loss of Lbtd John remains to be seen. Thus much may be prediclid` of Lord Panmure's fitness for the office he now fills :—To carry into effect the radical and sweeping reforms called - for in the British army, a Minister is required who can, when necessary, do unpleasant things ; and Lord Panmure has shown that he not only can do unpleasant things, but take pleasure in doing them) Turning from individuals to the general aspect of the re-constructed Cabinet, it does not appear fitted to inspire much confidence. The Peelites and the colourless Whigs predominate too'much in it. That, however, is mainly Lord Palmerston's concern. He has undertaken to accom plish the arduous task which lies before him by the instru mentality of these Colleagues ; and he is as much responsible for the selection of his instruments as for the use he may put them to. If the country at large is disposed to place more confidence in the reconstructed Cabinet than it did in the Cabinet' which preceded the late break-up, it is simply be cause Lord Palmerston, instead of Lord Aberdeen, is at the head of it. Whatever hopes may be entertained Of improved management of the war repose upon Lord Palmerston. If these hopes are realised, the glory will be Lord Palmerston's ; if they prove abortive; upon him will fall the shame and blame of failure. If ho set tnwork honestly and energetically to repair the evils occasioned by the narrow "views, indiffe rence; and incapacity of his predeaeasor, the country will support him. The conjuncture at which Lord Palmerston seizes the reins of State is critical in the extreme. There is no 1.16 in seeking to conceal the low ebb to which the British force in the Cri mea has been reduced. The exposure of its"weakness will be no news to the Czar, and will not eneburage him to an attack ; for he knows that the British are supported • by the French before - Sebastopol ; and he is further kept in check by the Turkish force gathering on his flank at Eupatoria. The con dition . of the Allies, and of the Russian army opposed to them, renders it extremely probable that operations will be in a great measure suspended on both sides till the middle of March. The interval is the time allowed to Lord Palmerston to reinforce our • army and complete its organisation, and to concert with our Allies in what manner the campaign is to be renewed in the Crimea. For the state of Sebastopol is now such that, in all likelihood, instead of making its reduc tion the preliminary step to the ejection of the dispirited Russians from the Crimea, it will bo &uric' necessary first to drive the Russians from the Crimea, and then reduce Sebas topoli. by regular siege; or even by the slow process of bloici:s ade.

Reinforcements, it is true, continue to.drop in, and there are always a proportion of the invalids who recover their strength and return to duty. But both these sources are inadequate to' compensate for the drain of 1,000 men per week-- 7 the rate at which the effective force of the army would, but for them, be diminished. The army has before it at least six weeks more of winter ; and a t their close the fever season comes on. Au attempt was made in the House of Commons yesterday to deny that the weekly drain on the effective strength of the army is so great as we have stated. The medical returns, it was said, s h ow th a t It is much less than 1,000 per week. But these returns are incomplete and fallacious ; they only give the number of sick. in the hospital tents, anct omit all those who, though incapable SIR CHARLES NAPIFT: AND TtiE ADMIRALTY. (Mom the Times of this day.) Thero'issomething quite uncanny about this awful, war. Nothing — follows suit iu eit, and it goes wrong from first:to last. How It began, how there was peace when there ought to have been fighting, and fighting when we chose to call it peace, everybody • knows, Ent its very festi vities turn sour, and in its givings of thanks there is always a note out of tune. Sir Do Lacy Evans appeared, with all honours, to receive that rarest and richest meed of 'valour, the thanks of the Speaker before the assembled house, but no sooner had he opened his lips in reply than something possessed him to re proach his eulogists, and challenge to hot controversy all who should' do less than justice to the Second Division. Then comes the Mansion-house dinner. The Lord Mayor is seized with the commendable ambition of presenting himself before the eyes of the nation between the most stately and the most eccentric of onr modern heroes. Garrick between Tragedy and Comedy had sympathies for both, and it is hard to say which he would follow. But no Lord Mayor of London that ever existed could have shown simultaneous affinities to Car digan and Napier, or have harmonised two such utter disso ciables. There, however, they were; to. make the best of themselves. Cardigan did his part with perfect good taste. There is something indeed suggestibe of Medal - no Tussaud in the " ident;cal uniform" which he wore in the desperate cavalry charge. But his speech was, with a slight exception, the simplest possible narrative of facts, and is, indeed, a brief history of the war throughout its earlier stages. His de. scription of that most gallant, though Quixotic enterprise, in which there was " the greatest apparent certainty of death that could possibly be conceived," without the slightest advantage to "be gained by the sacrifice, was at once digni fied, modest, and affecting. How it happened that body of men so brave and well-disciplined, so attached to their officers, and so well cared . for " by them in return, should have been led to certain destruction with scarce 'a word 'of remonstrance against a stupid and suicidal order, Lord. Cardigan forbore to explain. 'Perhaps he may have good reasons for his silence ; but in the mean time we must bog leave to retain our belief that, notwith standing the valour and discipline' of that ill-fated corps, it was recklessly offered up as a victim to that want of harmony which is known to have existed, for some reason or other, between itself and the other branches of the service. And now for Sir Charles Napier. At all events, duty and Obedience are not here overdone. The contrast is the greatest that can be imagined. According to Sir Charles, the fleet placed under his command was " badly manned and worse disciplined," and he never had fair play from the Admiralty. The conclusion is, that he has brought home .his fleet with scarcely the loss of a man, au anchor, or a spar. In the army we seem to have perfect organisation and entire destruction —in the navy no discipline, and no loss ;. there not being much to choose between the respective results on the enemy. But, disguise it as we may, the spectacle of a magnificent fl ee t assemliiing in the Baltic, and coming back scathless, with nothing to show but the destruction of some granite works and the capture of 2,000 prisoners, done by soldiers, not by sailors, does not command itself to the taste of the British people, and has not found favour with the Admiralty. So Sir Charles has been relieved of his command, and, as a natural consequence, went off at the Mansion-house on Tues day like an unlucky gun that hangs fire and then eiplodes at half-cock. In the strange mixture of exposures and re serves that run through his speech, it is impossible to form any judgment on his case. Nor is he always con sistent with himself. The principal exposure is, that the Admiralty asked Sir Charles " why he did not take S mea berg, and why he did not do this, that, and the other;" in fact, why he did not do something The question is so natu ral, that one looks for the answer, and Sir Charles's answer is a very mysterious one. Ho says he proposed a plan for taking Sweaborg, which might be taken by a certain day, though he does not tell us what the plan was, why he proposed it in stead of executing it forthwith, and what the answer of Go ; vernment was to this apparently gratuitous pro p o sition. A we do not know the letter of Sir Charles's i nstruc tions, it may be rash to pronounce on his conduct on his own showing ; but, that a raan , should take a magnificent fleet to th e Baltic, send the Admiralty a plan and, instead of doinganyt hing, e mg that it way or another. As to the delay f o o n r t d h o .e i doing something, dmr altyis then s a o n u d tt e ily no r t ote d o sq i i t i , a a n a p d r throw . th e blame demands explanation o in the capture of Boma , employment of French soldiers which enabled the Emperor Napoleon to take all the to the English Government proposing rs " und and that credit, by conferring a baton o n t he General in command, not more luck). than on tho matter of Sweaborg. Sir Charles is ,I:y e rs s s :mid s , Why he should write at all, or pro -.vs do not know, 'but lot that pass. 441 " no other troops to enable me to go there. oofsaetwtlaFy anything, n s ma gg, I wanted,' he enough ; but the French Admiral thought it -more proper to have some. The French Government sent out 10,000 troops accordingly. I repeat, that I did not want them they would much better have been employed at Sebastopol. I only asked for one or two thousand men to make the thing more sure, but I could have done the work without them, and I wrote home to that effect. However, they scut us out 10,030 men." Can any body make out from this whether Sir Charles asked for wore men or not? He first says that he did not, then Oat he did, and lastly that he did not. If he did, of conrso it is a very great pity, as the French have reaped all the glory of the achievement, and the British army has not even that to boast of. We quite agree, too, with Sir Charles, that just at that time 10,000 men would have been better in the Crimea. If, as he seems to admit, ho did ask for ono or two thousand soldiers just to make the thing more sure, when be had an ample force of Marines in his fleet for this very sort of occa sion, ho must not complain if tho British Government took him at his word, and, having more regard to the success of the joint cause than the private glory of England, sent him the very effectual assistance of 10,000 French soldiers. But what is the real imputation that Sir Charles must ad dress himself to ? • It is not - simply that he has done nothing, except opposing a very imperfect obstruction to Russian com merce, as much to our loss as theirs. No sensible person wished to force our wooden walls into collision with the granite walls of the foe. People talked of Cronstadt, to be sure, and they talk of it now, but they do not wish any thing thi s n i g r to be done rashly, and they are quite ready to hear w ha t Charles has to say on the question of " Wood versus Gr anite. • • Lord John Russell is not in very high favour at the present moment, and, therefore, we have the more satisfaction in complimenting him for having in. one instance—we admit its singularity—shown insight and sagacity. .Ho refused Sir Charles Napier the coven - bend of the Mediterranean fleet, be cause, in his, opinion, he " wanted discretion," Our readers Rill remember Lord. Palmerston's manly vindication of Sir Charles from • this charge, at the Reform Club banquet, founded on a:retrospect of the gallant admit al's character and services. Nor will they have forgotten the very handsome terms in which Sir James Graham, now the object of Sir Charles Napier's vilification, spoke of him ou the Fame occa sion. .now • appears, from the . enraged admiral's own admission, that Sir James, ,letters during the stay of the fleet iu the Baltic, bad frequently - abeolved him from this chargeof want of discretion. After all, it turns out that Lord John.Bassell was-not very wrong in his estimate ; for, certainly, whatever. character for " discretion" Sir Charles Napier may have wrung from the First Lord of-the Admiralty (hiring the past year, he has utterly forfeited it by hie extraor dinary and unjustifiable speech' ua- Tuesday evening. The' truth we suspect to be, that the. militant portion. of the Napier family are discreet enough - when on aetual service, but that - they cannot be trusted' with a pea in their hand, or with the liberty'of public speakir .., • Sir Charles Napier is in a gre,t • go, but it is difficult to discover exactly what has worked 'him up into that oblivious state. His charges against Sir 4,,suies _Graham are of that conglomerated kind which aro often. heard from-infuriated females who are too much.in a plat 4 -..,rretrvapeak distinctly. Of what is it that ho complains f • -He says he ;has been censured by his Governmbnt, and dismissed' from his command—the gentlemen mound him flatly- -con tradicting' this latter statement. At peesent, the public whatever opinion may have been formed of the singular contrast between Sir Charles Napier's earlier and his later career—are in noetfficial way informed of either the one or the other event having yet occurred. In Sic absence of positive evidence on these points, whence the boiling indigna htioreof Sir Charles Napier? Is it. hee-euse_ as 9 unicti cont. • mender, he has performed an evolution analogous to the cele brated military manceuvre of the • King of France and his twice ion thousand men ? Is it because Sir James-Graham ea tees., to time, wrote him letters uread ; trim to :action What could bo mere natural ? An adm ,al on serv i. Pe does not supersede the Government in their functions, whatever opinion they may have of hie " discretion.," The kind of " - discretion" displayed by the gallant admiral was se very unlike that of his earlier and more active years, that the plb• lie will scarcely ,be astonished to hear that a little stimuldire was applied to what seemed his flagging energies. We cannot help suspecting that the solo cause of Sir Charles Napier's soreness is, that he imagines he has fallen in the public esti mation. It must be mortifying to a man with a forty-Napier appetite for glory, to have taken out the most magnificent fleet Lnglaud e ver sent forth, and to have )C12,11 COM ' Pe dto bring it back agai n w i thout having achie ,ed another e d a more memorable St. Jean , l'Acre. How does Sir o:rles know that the public do not fully give him credit for the pa tience with Which he kept his ships from grounding ; for his watchful care ire bring all his floating flock back a ga i n i n sa f ety; I and for his oudence in retiring before stone walls ? We ven turs to say - that as much credit as this spoilt child of victory deserves ho will receive ; although it be not exactly the cus tom to vote the thanks of Parliament for the kind of services he performed during the last campaign. Admiral Dundee did not go to the Black Sea with so enormous a reputation as that which Admiral Napier bore with him to the Baltic ; but he effected very nearly as much. He has quietly surrendered his command to another, and ho at least will show better taste than to rail against his superiors becaus6 ho does not receive the ovation due alone to some great achievement. Sir Chas. Napier ought to understand the full value of subordination. A professional grumbler iu the :House of Commons is in a very different position from an admiral on service ; and the gravest affairs of a great nation ought not to be discussed in the spirit of a clap-trap speech to the electors of Marylebone. The professional jealousy of Sir C. Napier with regard to the interference of an engineer officer might be more excus able on a less suleasu occasion. As, however, it was a ques tion of attacking batteries, the Admiralty can scarcely De blamed if they wished the opinion of a man whose specialty that was. As to the " insulting and degrading letters," un til we better know what they really were, and by what con duct they were provoked, it would not bo right to express an opinion which might be prejudiced against Sir Charles Napier by the singular exhibition he has just made. With regard to his dictating to the Crown :and the country the future exclusion of Sir James Graham from the Admiralty, that,• we suppose, must be passed over in silence ; the threat having utterly failed to deter her Ma. jesty or Lord Palmerston from again inviting the right hon. baronet to contribute his eminent services to the Government. Sir Charles Napier has made charges rather of a personal than of a public nature, and we have no doubt that in due time and season those charges will be met. Upon one other of the recommendations of Sir Charles there will be a painful division of opinion. When he talks of his name being " scratched from the Navy List," he presupposes his country men oblivious of the gallant services he rendered in former years ; but when he hiuts.at " not being -qmployed again," he indiscreetly raises a question silently revolved, we have no doubt, in the minds of 'all who heard or read his speech, but -which few Englishmen would desire to see publicly dis cussed. The speech of Lord Cardigan—which, in its calm dignity, formed so strong a contrast with that of the gallant admiral, although he, too, might have found a theme for censure —will have been read with an interest to which proport it proportioned t o that already excited by the noble deeds re ferred. The Earl of Cardigan spoke little of himself, but much of the memorable charge which so signalised the heroic courage of his troops, and which will have left his name to posterity as the modern type of English Chevalier. Those to whom the character of the noble earl has been presented in az unamiable aspect may perhaps be surprised to find, that in the soldiei of the highest stamp the keenest sensibility. is not i nc ompatible with an undaunted and unreflecting bravery. (From the Morning Advertiser pfthis day. ) The speech of Sir Charles Napier at the Mansion-house, on Tnesday, in which he so fiercely denounced the conduct of the Admiralty towards him while in the command of the Baltic Fleet has. created a "Teat sensation. - The place may not have been the most suitable that might have been chosen for such a purpose ; but certainly the revelations the gallant Admiral made were of a most startling nature, while the in vectives which ho hurled at the head of Sir James Graham were of the most furious kind which ever proceeded from the lips of one man speaking of another. Never was such an ex plosion witnessed. The matter cannot remain where it ie. Sir James Graham is bound to give some explanations to the country respecting the very grave charges which Sir Charlie Napier prefers against him ; , nor should any time be lost tli the performance of that duty. The public not only has 14F right to explanations, but it has a right to expect that they be made at once.
