At last it seems as if the Allied forces in the Crimea and the Euxine were permitted to display their unflinch ing valour against the enemy, as if they were no longer prohibited from assuming the offensive and endeavouring to achieve real successes. A new policy has apparently been inaugurated, and we already behold the auspicious results—results which will do more to bring Russia to her senses than all the conferences that could be held during the next ten years. There have been triumphs both by sea and land. The British fleet is no longer inactiNe. The new Commander-in-Chief of the French Army has already more than rea lised the most sanguine anticipations that bad been formed respecting his activity and efficiency. And what is, perhaps, no less important, the Ministers of England and France have, albeit at the eleventh hour, spoken out plainly and intelligibly. The navies and armies of the Western Powers are no longer waiting for the negotiations. Theyhave been freed from the galling restrictions previously in operation, and no time has since been lost. A comparison of dates will show that we do not speak unadvisedly, or at all events, that if the operations in the Crimea have not been delayed by orders from home, there has been a very extraordinary coincidence between the newly begotten activity " ley land and water" and the apparent change in the Ministerial policy. Notwithstanding the positive assertions that the pending negotiations would not in any degree afect the operatiOns of the War, there was a ge neral impression that no very decided measures could be adopted while there was a prospect of an early peace. A weighty responsibility would rest on those who forced on a sanguinary con test, at the very time when amicable arrange ments had. been actually concluded, or were likely to be speedily decided. There was, in fact, that palpable incongruity between " protective diplomacy and aggressive war," so felicitously pointed out by Mr. DISRAELI in his magnificent oration on Thursday last, that would practically prevent the Allies from adventuring on any deci sive measures. " The laborious inactivity" dis played in the Crimea forcibly illustrates the un toward state of affairs. The blockading fleet merely watched the enemy, but did not take the initiative in any act of aggression. The teleag,uer lag armies only defended the positions they had so painfully acquired, but scarcely endeavoured to attack the enemy. The mysterious expedition to Kertch was suddenly recalled, as if the attempt was premature, and might interfere with the expected arrangements to be concluded. through the inter. vention of Austria on the basis of the Russian propositions--.or, in other words, the restoration of the status qui). A total change, however, took place in the policy of the Allies. M. DROUYN DE L'IlErY'S resigned his portfolio, which was handed to the C oun t WALEwSXI. Shortly a fterwards the well meaning, kind-hearted, and gallant CANROBERT was succeeded by the more energetic and equally gallant PELISSIER. The hour of expectation arose is the camp. It was universally believed that some daring attempt would immediately follow, and, verily, that expectation has been amply realised. On the night of the 22d and 23d the French I 'i by assault the intrenched Russian camp near the Quarantine bastion, which we are told WWI defended by the whole garrison of Sebastopol. The attack was desperately contested, but in vain. Our gallant Allies carried all before them. It was in vain that the Russians strove to resist the fierceness of their onslaught. They were driven out w ith fearful slaughter, an d , after a contest pro t r acted during two nights, the Fre nc h rema i ne d t a rs ...f the important positio n , i n which mas they have s i nce fully established th emselves. Th e Russian l os s on the oc cas i on has been estimated at no less than from fi ve to six thousand killed and wounde d . This im. portant achievement a ppears to have paralysed the energies. of the enemy , and to have created a panic similar to that which On the 25th followed the earliest triumph o .Algs orr.the,„Alma. the Fre at: li;ek ;possession, -most without re- Biatan js3' 6114 ItUssian lines n the Tchernaya.

No effort was made to retrieve either of these most important positions on the 26th. We :nay therefore judge how "heavy was the blow," how great the discouragement, inflicted on the Muscovites. But while our gallant Allies were making such important progress, the French and British fleets were not idle. The expedition to Kertch, which was so strangely abandoned, was resumed, and crowned with the most signal success. Ou the 24th instant, the anniversary of the birth of our most gracious QUEEN, the Allied expedition arrived off the Straits of Kertch. The troops landed and ascended the heights while the small steamers went up to the town. There was scarcely an attempt at resistance. The Rus- sians blew up their fortifications, destroyed several of their vessels—about thirty in number —while thirty more were captured, together with fifty guns, and on the following day Sir GEORGE BROWN reached Yenikale, having previously destroyed a foundry, near Kertch, where shot, shell, and Minie balls were manufactured, and which doubtless contributed largely to the appa- rently boundless supply of missiles, of which the garrison of Sebastopol so largely availed them selves. It is scarcely possible to estimate too highly the consequences of this most important move ment. The Sea of Azoff is now as completely under our control as the Euxine has been since the commencement of the war. The most copious channel of supply to the Russian troops has been totally blocked up. It is, indeed, the fir.;st decisive blow against Russia, and one that will create consternation not only in Sebastopol and throughout the Crimea, but at St. Petersburg itself, for it will be evidence that the Allies have indeed resolved to carry on the War in earnest, and to conquer the peace that could not be obtained by fair means or peaceful negotiations. When we consider the importance of this re sult, and the ease with which it was accom plished, we are only astonished that it was not long since attempted. We can, however, only attribute this to the restrictions imposed by those at home. We must recollect that it was on kionday, the 21st, that Mr. MILNER. GIBSON'S dodge was prac tised, that hopes of accommodation were not then abandoned by the English Cabinet. The feeling then excited among the people was too power ful to be resisted. Mr. DISRAELI gave notice of his motion on the 22d, and on that night the French attack was made on the .1 - lace d'Jrines, on the 23d the admirable letter of Count WALEWSKI was written, on the 24th Kertch was captured, and on the 25th the lines of the Tchernaya and Yenikale were taken possession of, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL made his war speech. On the 26th no thing was done by the Russians to retrieve their losses, and Lord PALMERSTON came out strong, hinting that the Peelites would not be re-elected. These are strange coincidences, which seem.to in dicate the real causes of our past want of success. We only hope that we may not be cajoled into new negotiations, calculated to produce apathy and indifference where all should be zeal and energy, and to damp the spirits of our soldiers and sailors, as well as of those who, though "living at home at ease," submit cheerfully to the sacri fices required by the war. To say of a man that he is both audacious and vacillating may appear to be a contradiction in terms. Far, however, from this being the case, few quiet observers of human nature but must remember individuals they have met with in their career whose rashness found its only counterpart in their timidity, and who seemed entirely inea- pable of the golden meat]. Such men have their use, but they are somewhat dangerous, often do mischief, and invariably disappoint, at one time or another, those who put their trust in them Lord JOHN RUSSELL to If any doubt existed as to his Lordship belong ing to the above category, the correspondence between him and Lord ABERDEEN in reference to the Duke of NEWCASTLE and the mismanagement of the War must have gone far to remove it. The case was a very serious one. Day by day ;he public ear was thrilled with details of suffer- in; and death that were positively heartrending. Official authority vainly questioned their accu- racy, as vainly, though less feebly, than official energy strove to remove the cause. Among those impressed with the magnitude of the evil, and who doubted the fitness of the Minister charged with the conduct of the war for his post, it is impossible to deny his Lordship a place. We have no doubt he sincerely deplored the fearful havoc mismanagement was playing with our brave troops, and would willingly have seen a stop put to it ; and it is quite certain that he possessed the power to do this, at least in part, as it is that on occasions of infinitely less importance he has shown himself bold, even to rashness. What did he do ? Addressed himself to Lord ABERDEEN, declaring that such mismanagement must go on no longer, and resolutely demanding a change No ! he did " the diplomatic." He wrote paper No. 1 to Lord ABERDEEN, suggest ing the weakest possible reason for the most urgently needful step, and had the copy filed and docketted. Then came No. 3 in reply to No. 2, and No. 5 in reply to No. 4—the army, the noble gallant army reeling daily with weak ness in the trenches, and dying of pestilence by hundreds in the hospitals. The .Lieutenant- General to the Bishop of DURHAM, who had sounded a blast that echoed through the Vatican, could not find the manliness to say in plain terms to his political chief, "My Lord ABERDEEN, his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE ought no longer to be Minister of War ; therefore, in the interests of this great country, and for the salvation of its perishing army, I demand his removal." The de mand had only to have been resolutely made •and persisted in to have insured the change. But no ; his Lordship had not as yet rallied from the ex haustion following on his ridiculous anti-Papal blast. He was all vacillation when he should have been all decision and promptitude, and only found determination when no man could call it courage. Not that Lord ABERDEEN could for one moment have been in doubt as to the means of his subor dinate. The cold-blooded Thano knew it fi'om the first, and succeeded the better on this account in bamboozling his Lordship. " None so deaf," says the proverb, "as those who will not hear," and on the same principle, none so obtuse as those who will not understand. So the Earl of ABER DEEN replied to what Lord JOHN wrote, and took no notice of what he wishel to say. The whole affair reminds us of those strange old plays where farce seems to speak with bloody chops. 1 One could laugh at the fencing of these two diplo matists were it not for the indignation which their misconduct inspires. Only look at it ; one of then hesitating to say what his feeble virtue suggested he to heoutghe f ought, fearful uthe catastropheother - ing consummated, i• gret for the fe ar f u l di is a profound reso l ution Earl's letters, we canas if he were made of marble.

The people might murmur, the army I might perish, but the will of the Earl of ABER DEEN must be respected. There is something ab solutely revolting in this ; we rather shrink from the thought of, than speak in anger against, the individual guilty of it. For, after all, the case of a man, who lacks courage to perform a public duty with resolution is better than his who ap pears to have steeled himself to utter insensi bility to the claims of any but himself and hi s satellites. We need not proceed further. Be tween the two, millions have been wasted and thousands of lives have been needlessly expended. So much evil can be effected by irresolution on the one hand, and resolution on the other. LATEST NEWS. 3 _n:l J 7_l T CAYA. THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. ST. PETERSBURG, MONDAY.

After divine service yesterday, Mgrs. de Bonne chose, de la Bouillerie, and Sargent, the new Bishops of Evreux, Carcassonne, and Quimper were presented to the Emperor by the Minister of Public Worship, and took the usual oath. The Minister having pronounced the formnia, " I swear obedience to the Constitution and fidelity to the Emperor," the three prelates advanced successively towards his Majesty, who was seated in the Throne room, surrounded by the great officers of his house hold, and, putting their hands into his, said, " I swear it," and they afterwards signed the minutes of the ceremony. The Emperor, after having com plimented the new bishops, received the grand vicars who accompanied them, and then retired. According to a statement of semi-official cha racter, 182,600 French troops have been sent out to the Crimea and Turkey since the commencement of the war. Of these 120,000 are now available ; the remaining number represents, besides the casualties and the deaths by ordinary mortality, the sick and wounded now in hospital. In consequence of the fete of Pentecost (Whit sunday) none of the Paris journals have appeared, with the exception of the Aloniteur, which has de. ' parted from the general rule of non-publication in order to announce the important intelligence re ceived by electric telegraph from the Crimea. The Duguesclin and Fleurs line-of-battle ship;, and the Nemesis frigate, left Toulon on the 26th for the East with troops and stores. The first of these vessels carried nut 324 men of the 93d refit. of the line, and as she is to take other troops on board at Algiers, she carried there 21 soldiers con demned for various offences to hard labour in the colony ; the Fleurns had on board a numerous de tachment of the 28th of the line and some men of the 4th regiment of artillery ; and the frigate car ried out a considerable number of the 86th. The Hercule, liner, also sailed on the preceding day for the East with troops and stores. We have received the following private telegra phic despatch : ."

In the present dearth of soldiers, which is begin ning to be most sensibly felt, the Emperor has favourably listened to a proposal made by the Go vernor-General of Caucasus for embodying the irre gular corps of Tartars and Bobyles, inhabiting the provinces of Orenburg, Samara, Wiatka, and Perm. Count Peroffsky is empowered to organise and em body the nomadic hordes of the Bashkirs and Tartars of the Steppes into regular military colo ' hies, giving each family thirty dessatines of land belonging to the domains of the crown. Another party, consisting oflB sisters of charity, # left this yesterday by the railroad to Moscow, en route for the Crimea, where they have volunteered their services as nurses on the sick and wounded iu the hospitals. There are already 06 of these ladies in the Crimea, no less than 65 of whom are at Sebastopol alone.

In the rear of the batteries at Revel earthworks have been thrown up, and upwards of • 100 guns of large calibre added to those which were there previously. Off Sweaborg and Helsingfors, on every position liable to an attack, 1-atteries have been erected, every precaution taken to prevent the landing of troops irom the allied fleets, and measures adopted for the most vigorous resistance to the operations of the combined forces of Eng land and France, who, in order to gain any im portant advantage over the enemy, have now a difficult task to perform, but which it is to be hoped will, nevertheless, be speedily undertaken. SPAIN. MADRID, 27th.—The insurgent soldiers and some peasants of Aragon who had joined them have been demoralised by the march of Queen's troops on Daroca.

The other insurgents, to the number of 130 infantry and 40 cavalry, who had marched on Calatayud, are pursued by eleven columns of the Queen's troops. Maestrazzo has been declared in a state of siege. RUSSIA. Sr. PETERSBURG, May 18.—The short period that elapsed last year between the withdrawal of the Baltic fleet and the setting in of the winter was made use of by the Russians for effecting several changes in the stations of their naval forces. Thus five line-of-battle ships that had been stationed at Sweaborg were removed before the frost to Cron. stadt, and a large part of the gun-boats sent from S weaborg to Rotshensalm. It was during this ma nceuvre that an accident happened, occasioning the total loss of a war steamer, which has only now be come generally known from the result of the court.' martial being published in'the _Naval Journal. It appears that on the 30th of October last year the two steam corvettes Diana and Lwizza (Lioness) left Sweaborg for Rotshensalm, having in tow the gun-boats of the first brigade of the rowing flotilla. Two hours after their departure, whilst off the island of Groscher, the Diana struck with such violence on a sunken rock that she immediately filled, and went down in deep water in less than ten minutes. The officers awl crew had just time to save their lives and take with them the books and papers of the steamer. All attempts to find the spot where sh© sunk have hitherto proved fruit- PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 25th, in the Post- Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" Some non official indications ha-re been given which allow a judgment to be formed of the answer which will be given by Prussia to the Russian note com municated by Glenka. Prussia will declare that slie accepts with satisfaction the offer of Rus sia to completely guarantee the first two points which the Germanic Diet declared by its resolution of 9th Dec. last, more especially interested Germany, b'it that she cannot pledge herself to observe an abso lute and unconditional neutrality as the obliga tions imposed on her by the Federal laws and by her treaty with Austria will not allow her to do so. It is known that Austria has given the Western Powers reason to hope that she will shortly take an active co operation in the war, bat that she has demanded that a last at tempt shall first be made to bring about a peace. In the new conferences, the discussion will be con fined to the last Austrian propositions, which however do not appear to have the precise form which have been attributed to them by the New Prussian Gazette, and other non-official publica tions." The Cassel Gazette says :—" On the occasion of the fete of St. Boniface (June 5), which is to be held at Mentz, the Cardinal Archbishop Prince de Schwartzenberg has convoked all the German Bishops, to assemble in that place for tbe first three weeks of that month. At this meet ing, the pending questions concerning the relations of the Getman Episcopacy with the public autho rities will be discussed." COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, MAX 28.

This case, upon the application of counsel, was ordered to be on the paper for Friday, in consequence of the parties not being prepared. Upon this arrangement being entered into, the Lord Justice Knight Bruce intimated that the Lords Justices would take the case which bad been appointed to be heard before them on Friday, and on which several gen tlemen from the common law bar were engaged, on Monday next. (Before the Vice-Chancellor Wood.) TURNER V. ISLAM-JUDGMENT. , His Honour gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the principal question was whether certain pro perty purchased by George Bmton Irlam and Jonathan Higginson was partnership property or not. The pro perty in question which was purchased in 1837, was situate in Tabley and Sparling-streets, in Liverpool. The plaintiffs were merchants in that town in 1837, as were also the defendants, who had also carried on trade at Barbadoes. Bankruptcy and death had materially altered the relations of all parties, the plaintiffs having become the assignees of the mortgagers of the property purchased in Liverpool, in 1837, sought by the present bill to redeem that mortgage. In opposition to that claim it was contended that the property was not part- nership property, but belonged solely to the estates of Irlam and Higginson. His Honour, this morning, said that he had most carefully looked over all the papers in tlie case, and was of opinion that he could not dispose of- the question without an issue. Ho would, therefore, direct one for the purpose of trying the question, whether the property purchased in 1837, by Higginson and Irian', was pur chased on behalf of the partnership, giving liberty to either party, if they wished it, to have a special jury. The other Equity Courts beard motions, but no case calling for a special report came before them. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Guildhall Sittings, before Mr. Justice Wiglatrnan and a common jury.)

Observe —opposite th e yed R o w, . _ __ _.. We have great pleasure in calling attention to a pair of very clever pictures, entitled " The Departure," and "The Return," from the easel of Mr. A. Solomon, which are - now on view at the gallery of Messrs. Colnaghi, Pall. mall Knit, and from which those publi,hers are abou t to bring out engravings. The paintings, taken in con. junction, tell a most eloquent and pleasing story. The first mentioned illustrates one of those simple yet touch ing occurrences'id common life—a family separation and the scene is laid in one of the compartments of a second-class railway carriage. This is occupied by a sorrowful trio—a widowed mother, her son, and daughter —evidently in an humble grade in the social scale. The principal figure is that of the lad, a stout well-built yaungster, attired in the plain but not unbecoming ha biliments of a sailor, and he is supposed to have just entered the "service." and to be proceeding on his way to Portsmouth, accompanied by the relatives we have mentioned, to join his vessel. By the view of the shipping in the distance, as caught through the carriage window, the moment of final parting is apparently close at hand, and the emotions to which this gives rise in the breasts of each are most feelingly and truthfclly em bodied. The countenance of the boy indicates that, whilst keenly alive to the impending separation, he has braced up his nerves to bear it bravely, and has firmly re• solved to do his duty afterwards. His p:de and grief-worn parent, with his hand clasped in hers, bends fondly over hito, as though eagerly tracing each darling feature with as anxious fear that it may be for the last time, whilst the poor little girl, sitting somewhat aloi.f, looks tearfully on, scarcely yet fully alive to the painful void Itisabsence will create in their domestic hearth. The minutely expres sive narrative which this picture conveys finds a respon sive chord in the warm corners of the heart, and herein lies the true merit of the effort. In the companion to it emotions of a very different, but no less inspiring nature are called up. Here we see the self-same youth—after the lapse of several years, which have bronzed his face and added manliness to his form returning homewards —but under what changed circumstances ! He now rides in a first-class carriage, and has, by his bravery and honourable conduct, attained the position of an officer, whose gold-laced uniform he now wears. In the same carriage are an elderly gentleman, unquestionably well to-do in the world, And his pretty, graceful daughter, to whom the returned wanderer is speaking of " Most disastrous chances ; Of moving accidents by flcod and field; Of hair 13, eacith 'scapes --." The old gentlemln is listening with the deepest atten tion, and plainly spoken admiration of the young officer's gallantry, but the sweet girl seems to be devouring every word he says, whilst her maidenly blush and bright beaming eyes, turned full upon hiin, speak more for her in favour of the youthful and laandsome hero than she would trust her tongue to confess. Such an approving look is indeed a reward which a brave man might feel proud of. The executive portions of the pictures are be yond praise, and therefore need no further remark. The • engravings are entrusted to the skilful hands of Mr. W. H. Simmons, who will doubtless realise every expecta tion. There is no reason to fear but that they will be eteeedingly popular.

The latter entrenched themselves in the cafe Gioberti, but were dislodged, and all the furniture of tl,• coffee-horse was destroyed. In the mean time a party of soldiers arrived ; some arrests were male, and order restored.

EUPATORIA. EURATORIA, May 11.—The Times' correspondent says :-1 told you in my last letter that the sub marine telegraph was on its way to Eupatoria. Now it is completed, at least as far as the line goes. The day before yesterday the wires were laid down up to the house of Omer Paella. Ralher naive were the comments of the Turks and Tartars when they were looking at the mysterious black serpent wind ing along the streets 'before it was buried in the earth by the fatigue parties ordered out for the purpose. The 'Pal tars are in vain breaking their heads to find an explanation for this marifit (con trivance) of the Inglis. The Turks suT:ested something about a lakm, (mine), or other awful warlike ma:lincry, and both when told that the • wire which they were covering with earth would convey Omer Pacha's messages in a few seconds to Sebastopol, and in a little more than a minute to Varna, smiled incredulously, although exclaiming aril) (marvellous). The vessel which laid down the submarine wire was taken advanl - age of to send another batch of Tartar labourers to Sebastopol. Yesterday afternoon the Valorous came in sud denly from Kamiesch, with an invitation to Omar Pasha to go down. He embarked in the evening, and is expected back to-morrow. MAY 14.
