We will say no more of it than of the anniversary just passed in graceful silence. Enough, that constitutional government came out of the ordeal in a condition to strengthen itself, and to remove causes of disaffection, so that, when war is again forced upon us, it finds us united as we never were before in the long history of the country. It is to no purpose to compare despotism and freedom. Despotism and freedom have both their strong and their weak places, by which they must respectively abide, for neither can borrow from the other. England cannot Ina. fit by secrecy, nor Russia by publicity. It is not, like the foolish fowl, by hiding our heads in a hole, that we can escape the enemy. Discussion is the life of constitution a l government, and to forego it would not be to acquire any strength that belongs to despotism, but to destroy the essential of our polity. A man does not make him self the match for the tiger by emulating its dumbness, its claws, or teeth, but by opposing to its brute force and ferocity his peculiar resources in intelligence and mechanical aids to human strength. If we could see the working of despotio Government n is ot n m o o ex re . uc b uht as, e i r f e posifre of it; as the law maxim has it, things n o t ap pearing are as things not existing ; but with us it is by the light of publicity that faults are corrected. But for the revelations of the press the Ministry would have been deceived as to the state of things in the Crimea when they were at the worst, as Lord Aberdeen ha s of the fr ankly avowed ; an d wou ld this assimilation to th e dark ness of R uss i an despotism have been for the advantage country, an d woul d i t h ave t en d e d t o t h e r i ght conduct of it s affairs ? The army would long ere this have ceased t o exist. Constitutional government must Y work ceit its ends in its own way, as despotism does on the other hand. The Czar will not tell his subjects to take pattern by us, to pry into negotiations, and to raise their voices aga i nst what may be discovered amiss in the administration of his affair s in order that the faults may be remedied. ~ Make your choice, " says Buie in a homely illustration, "of a square or o a round table, but do not q uarre l w i t h the one because it has not the properties and coveniences of the other." There are other ci rcums t ances in war which will exact of patriotism, fo r b earance , and reserve ; and if Prince Albert had confined haysappeal to spari ng t h e Go vernment unnecessary and impolitic embaraesment, and to affording it all support in well-directed counsels and endeavours, we certainly should have joined heartily in the laudations which his Royal -Highness's recent speech has called forth from most of our contemporaries - but the Prince's words, as reported, go b eyond this , and if they do not actually tend to conclusions, tend yet to countenance conclusions adverse to our free form of Government in a state of war. We do not believe that this was the intention of the Prince, for this simple rea son, that it is not in keeping with any of the opinions he has ever held, which have indeed always been marked by an opposite tendency. That we have not noticed the matter in any carping or inimical spirit should be beyond a question in the minds of our readers, who know h ow rea d y we have ever been to acknowledge the excellent sense and spirit of the Prince Consort, and to appreciate his many important services. Nor have we been amongst the least forward in discoun tenancing and rebuking unjust impugnments of his Loyal Highness's conduct. And it is in perfect con sistency with our desire that the Prince's deservedly high character should be upheld, that we question the authenticity of a report ascribing to his Royal Highness words not of the well-guarded discretion Which has generally distinguished his public addresses, inasmuch, at least, as they are susceptible of an interpretation which will greatly delight the enemies of Constitutional Government abroad, ay, and also some yearners for despotism at home. • ~s. ,1rri1t:',1:11‘.,,177:11,,:....:,..• i.:.1. ,5„.. r /,"-- , . -- - • , _ . . . , . ~ . -4te , r'' ..' 4 •. , , ,/. ~,_ _,_ ~.....,,.,.. .., . t. . , ~ . ~,. \k\ • E- --- " w,, --,. •• 't• , ..,- ~ , t,. /4 ~ , • 4 ,l' i .1 :- : 6.• i " ... ~.k,,,N, ,- ...- ... .: - lt''... :ce ;.' .' , i • •./ .. , ... , . , \ , • \ . ... ) i c,k ? ~. 4. n '.'

The command of this inland sea passed tb the allies in an instant. There was nowhere any Russian force capable of offering resistance to the squad ron, although the number of vessels surprised showed what extensive use had been made of this channel of communica tion with the Crimea. On the northern coast of the Sea of Azoff are situated some of the chief provision depots of the Government, while the western shore is formed by that singular spit of land along which, or by means' of which, a special military road into the Crimea is understood to have been constructed. At the southern extremity, or root of this tongue of land, stands the fort of Arabat, and be yond the Straits at its northern point lies the town of Genitchi. Along the coast, between Genitchi and the mouths of the Don, are situated the important grain depots of Berdiansk, Ma rioupol, and Taganrog. To deal with these places, now that an entrance into the sea had been effected, was but the work of a few days, and tho correspondence from the spot which we have already published will convey an accurate idea of the operations which ensued. Berdiansk surrendered, on condi tion that while the Government stores and shipping were de stroyed private property should be respected. At Genitchi, as the like conditions were refused, the place was bombarded, and a vast amount of grain and shipping destroyed, including the large flats or ferries by which the strait was crossed. Arabat was cannonaded till its magazine blew up. Taganrog and Marioupol were then visited, and the stores and shipping burnt at each place in the like manner. It was at the former of these towns that, according to the Russian bulletin, al though a canuonade described " infernal" in its severity was maintained for six hours and a half, the list of casualties is confined to " ono Cossack killed." How very different a version the same fact can receive will have been seen from the lucid despatches of Captain Lyons in our impression of yesterday. With a similar absurdity of depreciation, the organs of the Russian Government have assured the world that nothing beyond a certain amount of damage to private pro perty has been accomplished by an expedition which in the space --or , a few days took, destroyed, or caused to be destroyed, 290 vessels with an immense quantity of stores, and deprived the enemy of four months' provisions for 100,000 men. Even these returns, however, do not convoy a sufficient idea of the results. The important feature of these successes con sists in the command thus obtained of the Sea of Azoff and of the eastern coast of the Crimea, which will enable us to de prive the Russians in the peninsula of their chief supplies. Another result, too, of a most valuable and gratifying kind is the evacuation of the strong fort of Anapa, now officially an nounced in Lord Raglan's despatch. This place, situated at the angle of the Circassian territory, a little to the south-east of the Straits of Kertch, was to be the object of attack after Kertch and Yenikale had been secured, and the letter of our correspondent in our last impression closed with the intima tion that the troops were expected to sail from Yenikale on this service on the Bth of June. The hazards, however, of this enterprise have now been saved. The Russians, dis mayed at our successes, and actuated, perhaps, by some such motives as had been influential with the garrison of Kutch, withdrew from the place of their own accord, and such was the strength of the fortifications thus abandoned that the casualties probably escaped may be reckoned as some com pensation for the losses experienced before Sebastopol. So fortunate, indeed, has been the whole expedition, that the returns show but three or four men wounded from first to last, and the troops are now returned as disposable without loss for, any other service. All that is necessary is to secure the passage of the straits and the entrance to the Sea of Azoff, and this, it seems to, be presumed, can be effectually accomplished, now that the Russian defences are destroyed, by leaving a garrison well intrenched at Yenikale. After this our steamers and gun-boats can scour the Sea of Azoff with perfect facility, nor will the Russian flag find any more place upon those waters than upon those of the Euxine.

Y esterday we bad occasion to remark upon the gathering of last Sunday in Hyde Park, and last nightthe same subject was twice brought under the House of Commons by Kr. Ot way and Mr. H. Berkeley. The former asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the inten tion of the Government to support or oppose the turtter pro gress of the Sunday Trading Bill—the latter obtainel a com mittee on the operation of the Beer Bill:passed last session. As to the Government, nothing was to be elicited front Sir G. Grey and his friends, save that they are determined to be guided by circumstances, and are prepared to maintain or re linquish the views they have expressed according to the cir cumstances of the case, and the contingencies of failure or success ; but even Lord Robert Grosvenor appeared anxious to disown his measure. " The responsibility for the bill," said he, " did not rest with him, but with the house." If the bill be not the bill of Lord Robert Grqsvenor, but of the house, why should he take such especial pains in the matter, in opposition to the evident feeling of that assembly? No doubt the second reading was carried. But how carried ? It is more than questionable if the great bulk of the members were at all aware of the importance of the discussion ; it is, we hope, tolerably certain that when the various provisions of the bill are brought formally before their notice, they will get . rid of it altogether. As to the principles upon which the measure is founded, and the machinery by which it is proposed to carry those measures into effect, what can we add to the various Considerations which we yesterday submitted to the judgment of our readers? There can be no doubt that early in the morning of every returning Sunday the humbler artisans and workpeople of , this metropolis do make their little purchases of me t, vegetables, milk, &c., and so far no doubt there is °secretion of the Sabbath. On the other hand, in their ( t fay ur it is to bo said, that in numerous cases they do not receive their week's wages until late on the Saturday night ; so that they could not, if they would, lay in their little stores for the Sunday's provision. Again, even if the money were paid into their hands in time for dealing upon the Saturday night, it is a lamentable fact that they frequently occupy such narrow and unwholesome lodgings that during the warmer season the provisions—not too fresh in the first in stance—which they had purchased overnight would be tainted in the morning. The argument on the other side naturally is, that such traffic is to be avoided by fresh arrangements between employers and employed, and that, although it may be perfectly true that the larders of the poor are not in a very perfect condition, the measure of inconvenience inflicted upon them, if the present bill should pass into a law, is as nothing compared with the amount of desecration of the Sabbath to which it will put an end. It is at this point that the legisla tors of Hyde-park step in with their burly opposition. " Talk of desecration of the Sabbath by the lower classes," say they; " there is not one house in a hundred inhabited by the middle classes—there is not house in a thousand inhabited by those still higher placed in the social scale, in which desecration of the Sabbath is not patent, constant, notorious. What is the meaning of your Sunday dinner parties and pleasure excur sions, although six other days in the week are open to you for diversion and ,amusement ? We have but one day, and on that day you would starve us and re4nee us to inaction as a sacrifice to your own spiritual pride. —lf we are to have a Sunday' Bill, be it as you will, but let us have the bishops perambulating the streets on foot, shut up your clubs and hotels, stop all traffic, and let London be reduced to a cata leptic condition during the Sabbatical period of 24 hours. Your present bill is a miserable piece of hypocrisy and deceit." What can Lords Ebrington and Robert Grosvenor answer to this just objurgation? There are certain members of a tribe in South Africa who earn their living in a singular way. They are supported by the voluntary contributions of their fellows in ease and affluence. They are not called upon to handle the assegai in the chase, nor the rude hoe in the parched African field. All they have to do is to be penitent whenever any member of the tribe wanders into sin and transgression. The sinner instantly despatches a message to the professional penitent, who, no matter what his own feel ings may be at the tjme—whether he be feasting or fasting— must instantly roll Illmself about on the hot sand, and howl with intense remorse. Now, it appears to us that this vica rious sanctity is all that wo hall attain by this Sabbath bill. The great and the opulent will continue to revel as before, while the pool: will be called upon to repent not only for their own sins, but for ours, and not only for our past sins, but for those we are actually committing, and for all we are deter mined to commit in the future.

At home for collaultatig4 doily from Eleveli !ill Two and from Biz till Eight, It was Queen Caroline, - we think, who asked Sir Robert Walpole what it would cost to inclose St. James's-park, with a view to exclude the public from it. " Madam," the Pre mier is said to have replied, - "only a Crown." It were to be wished that our present Premier had the courage to give a similar hint to Lord Robert Grosvenor and his lordly abet tors in Sabbath legislation. But Lord Pahnerston, though he gave a curt enough reply to the poor Presbyterian clergy men of Scotland when they petitioned him for a fast, does not venture to speak in the same strain to aristocratical masters of boroughs. Yet the shoals on which the section of the aristocracy, re presented by the promoter of the Sunday Trading Bill, is bent upon driving us, are quite as dangerous as those towards which Queen Caroline would have steered but for the warn ing voice of a sagacious Minister. These men propose nothing loss han to compel by act of Parliament the great majority of the people of England to change the habits of life which have prevailed among them for many generations. If Lord Robert Grosvenor had ever returned from Richmond by water, on & Sunday Mummer evening—we beg his pardon for the monstrous supposition--he would have seen the banks on either side covered, the whole way, with many parties, arr.yed in theii! best attire, walking or seated in tea-gardens and before taverns. It is ten to one that in the course of his passage he would not have witnessed one unseemly gesture or heard one angry word. Had he lingered at Hungerford-stairs, he would have witnessed ono steam-boat after another disem bogning its living cargo, and have convinced himself that all were sober—hilarious indeed, but conversing in under-tones, betokening a decent restraint imposed upon themselves out of respect for the day. Let us farther suppose that Lord Robert, before proceeding to Richmond, had taken a walk through the streets of London about the time that morning servioo in our churches and chapels ends. He would have seen numbers of men, women, and children issuing from the bakers' shops, carrying little roasts of meat with potatoes baked beneath, or from the beershops with pots of ale and porter. Had he followed any of the parties so burdened, he might have seen families who rarely have a moment for social converse during the week assembled round their humble boards, cultivating the domestic affec tions. On inquiry he would have learned that the attend ance of a couple of bakers' lads and a couple of tapmon enabled some 20 or 30 families to enjoy this Sunday dinner without the trouble of cooking it. The labour of three or four men for a few hours enabled 100 or 150 persons to rest on the Sabbath. Tho individuals thus released from care and labour may not have used their rarely recurring leisure exactly in the way Lord Robert would approve of ; but at least they bad an opportunity of doing so which otherwise they could not have had. It is, moreover, highly probable that Lord Robert, in the houses ho visited, would have seen newspapers lying about_ that had been purchased that morn ing.. Now, we are not going to ask Lord Robert to admit that all these things are right and proper ; but we maintain that.they cause no public scandil, lead to no breach of the peace, are not inconsistent with honesty, sobriety, and well regulated labour. The people who act as we have described have done so all their lives, and their fathers and grandfathers before them. They see no harm in it ; few of them have even heard it alleged that it is wrong. It is their drop of honey in their bitter draught of life. And all of a sudden they find themselves debarred from such simple enjoyments under vexatious penalties, by the instrumentality of men who enjoy a monopoly of political power. Does Lord Robert expect that such an attenlpt to revolutionise the habits which have been striking root in a people through long generations can be endured with patience ? Does he think that no inquiries will be made as to whether the class to which be belongs solemnise the Sabbath in the same ascetic fashion that he would compel the less wealthy classes to do 7 Let last Sunday's assemblage in Hyde-park answer him. English men of all ranks, so far from disliking persons of gentle birth, , aro but too apt to be deferential to them in excess. This holds good of all classes ; even the Chartist movement suffered be cause the working classes preferred gentlemen, like Fergus O'Connor and Dr. John Taylor, for leaders, to men of theii own class, like Lovett and Collins. The humblest arti san among us, if left quietly to enjoy himself in his own way, grudges no man his carriage, horses, grooms, fine pictures, or sumptuous fare. But our recent Sabbath legislation has stirred up thousands of this good-natured, lord-admiring people to desert their usual Sunday haunts and pursuits for the sole purpose of jeering and insulting the aristocracy. This oppOsition to his lordly will has only made Lord Robert more intent upon carrying his Sunday Trading Bill. Against na tiqual convictions and habits laws are inoperative. He and his abettors had better take warning in time. To inclose St. James's-park would have cost a dynasty its crown ; to con, demo our tradesmen and artisans to fasting and. moping on Sundays may cost our peers their coronets. We know our aristocracy too well to believe them capable of desisting from what they believe to be right out of per sonal fear ; but though they are too proud to shrink from danger to themselves, there is no shame in their being reluc tant to expose others to danger. A storm of popular exas peration, which should sweep them from their places would not pass harmless over humbler heads ; and if they will re flect they cannot but perceive the unreasonableness of the course they are pursuing. They have an undeniable right to act upon their own convictions—they have a right (we might say it is their duty) to endeavour to persuade others to act in the Way they believe to be proper ; but they have no right to compel those who do not think as they do to act as if they did. Even on the assumption that their views of religion are the true ones, they ought to know that only the volun tary'sacrifice is acceptable in the eyes of God. Human laws and penalties cannot make men religiOns ; they can only make them hypocrites or malcontents—that is all. The most provoking part of this affair is, that the exces sive zeal for the enforcement of a Judaical observance of the Sabbath by pains and penalties is utterly uncalled for. We value the securing of one day's rest in seven for all men as a privilege above all price. We believe that nothing short ofa religions sanction can insure it. But we maintain that the Sabbath is better observed in England than in any other country on the face of the earth. They whose conscientious convictions prompt them to celebrate it with ascetic self denial, are at perfect liberty to do so undisturbed. Their fellow-citizens, who are of another way of thinking, respect fully abstain on that day from noisy amusements which might break in upon their quiet. Throughout the land labour is intermitted on the Sunday. The few exceptional cases are those of individuals who servo the not wealthy public in the same capacity that domestic servants do the rich. Theatres are closed on that day, and balls are unknown. Wo confess that this compromise—this mutual tolerance—has for us more charms than either the gaiety of continental, or the Pharisaic stillness of Scotch Sabbaths. We have seen in France ma sons and carpenters pursuing their avocations on a Sun day; and have regretted that they denied themselves the Christian privilege. We have seen the streets of Scotch towns silent and deserted on Sundays as cities of the dead, but wo knew that this compulsory suspension of the throb of public life was the main cause why drunkenness—the vice that can most easily be indulged in secret—prevailed to a greater extent in Scotland than the sister kingdom. The Sabbath is rationally and decorously observed in England, and more so in the present day than at any' former period. The improvement is tho consequence of the better cultivated tastes and intellects of the people. If further improvement is pos sible, it can only be effected by advancing the education of the people. We admit that, so long as taverns are the only places of resort for the public on a Sunday, the weak and unwary are liable to indulge to excess ; but you cannot prevent men from drinking by merely shutting the tavern door against them.

The House of Lords last'night listened to another of those lucid and comprehensive reviews of our war policy to which Lord Lyndhurst has familiarised their lordships—efforts of au extraordinary mind, over whose fine powers extreme age seems to cast neither blight nor shadow. The more imme diate object of the noble and learned lord on this oocasion was to examine the policy of Austria, and how far the results of that policy have justified the course we have pursued with reference to that power. . _ - - It can hardly be denied now by those who were accustomed to congratulate the Western Powers and mankind in general upon the consummation of the Austrian alliance, that the most recent events have shown, that from the first the Cabi net of Vienna has played a subtle and a selfish game—that they have beguiled the Western Powers with implied promises of contingent assistance, and delusive proposals for the settle ment of the Eastern complication. We do not say that her mediation was necessarily insincere, because it had led to no practical result—with such a power as Russia the best offices might have been unavailing. We are even willing to acknow led_ e with Lord Ellenborongh the value of the tranquil posi tion of Austria within her own territory—her well-armed frontier opposing a barrier to Russia, and creating a necessity for a Russian corps of observation that might otherwise have been moved to the Crimea; It may be too, although wo do not very clearly see it, that Austria has exerted a most bene ficial influence upon the German Diet and people, preventing on the one hand a Russian pressure, and on the other the development of a Russian policy. Against this speculative good, however, we can set off something like positive evil. The occupation of the Principalities, in pursuance of that unfortunate convention of June, 1854, set free the army of Bessarabia, and supplied some of the troops that fought at the Alma and at Inkermau. Our two years' " deference" to Austria has been the curse of our policy. It has not only paralysed our operations in the field, but the prolonged and profitless negotiations in which Austria played the part of mediator have prevented, by the shadow of irresolution they cast on our policy, a declaration ou the part of the Baltic powers, and very possibly of Germany also. These negotia tions have terminated, as every one kne w they would, in the rejection by Russia of easier terms than she had any right to expect, and after the ministers of the allies had exhausted their instructions, and actually returned to their respective governments; Austria comes forward with a proposition she knew could not be accepted, affords Russia an opportunity for a display of moderation in the face of Europe, and, which is the most significant proceeding of all, commences the re duction of the army on her eastern frontier. What has been the consequence ? Why, the same that followed her occupa tion of the Principalities. The army of Bessarabia was then liberated for the Crimea; the Russian troops, hitherto stationed on the frontiers of Gallicia, aro now, if the reports may be relied upon, on their march for the same destination. Such seem to be the obligations we owe to Austrian alliance and Austrian mediation. The reduction of her military force argues, it was remarked by Lord Ellenborough, an entire change in her intention. Austria thus places herself on a level with Prussia, and we know what that level signifies. The debate last night elicited from the Foreign Minister the important announcement that the allied powers consider themselves absolutely unfettered by the "four points," or any of them, and that they are henceforth free to make such terms as the success of our military operations may sanction. If we may believe (we do not believe it) this statement the next proposal will be a serious advance upon those hitherto,offered. We fear, however, under tho guidance of those at present conducting the war, we are not likely soon to be in a condi tion to increase our demands. The Austrian alliance, with its happy results, was one of the triumphs of the Minister who is still entrusted with the foreign seals. Lord Clarendon hardly attempts to conceal the fact that our foreign policy for the past two years has been a ruinous mistake. Shall he bo permitted to involve the country in the consequences of an other similar period ? (Prom the Times of this day.) The lucid despatches of Sir Edmund Lyons, combined with the circumstantial narratives furnished by our own corre spondents in the East, have now enabled us to present our readers with a connected and intelligible view of those suc cessful operations by which the war has been extended, to the infinite damage of the enemy, over seas and along shores hitherto secure add unassailed. A slight inspection of any ordinary map will show that the Crimean peninsula, jut ting out into the Black Sea from the mainland, encloses a portion of those vast inland iwaters towards the north east in such a manner as to form a second or inner sea, which bears, in fact, about the same geographical rela tion to the Euxine that the Euxine itself does to tho Me diterranean. This inner sea--calle " the Sea of Azoff" is approached by a Bosphorus of its own, usually designated the Straits of Kertch. Though its extent, com pared with th 4 of the Euxine, is but small, its shores, being wholly Russian, comprise the chief portions of the southern seaboard of that empire, and, as all the eastern coast of the Crimea is included in its circuit, it became of great conse quence to assert for the Allies in these waters the same su periority which had been established in the Black Sea. The attention of the allied commanders had been directed to these quarters some time ago, but it was not until last month that an expedition was actually undertaken for the purposes in view. Oar ships traversed the Euxine in all directions, but did not penetrate the Straits of Kertch. On the 24th of May, however, a squadron comprising eight English, four French steamers, and six screw gun-boats, and carrying a land force of 16,305 troops, assembled at a ren onstration itself and proceeded t d o ez e v n o t u e s r a th b e o m ut w te i n th m on il t e d s e s l o a u y t . h o rr l n t e h v e er S y tra d it e s m , proved equivalent to victory. It was found that though the Straits, like all other assailable points of the Ru ss i an t al i. tory, were tolerably well fortified, and some pains bad re cently been expenjied in strengthening the defences, the va rious positions were all considered by the enemy as untenable in r point all the against the advancing force. About midway lip the Straits the troops wore diiembarked at a place Called Ambalaki, on commands the theen trance the Crimea westernsh . o r 0 8 , advancey their is foied from by o the this eastern promontory Rus sianofK e p rt os e i h ti a o n n d s includinga y lo o n n g ik t a lr e, co t i h is e t iatterof the important stations which to the Sea of Azoff, would have been taken in the rear and cut off from all communication with the interior. This consideration, combined apparently with an exaggerated esti mate of the allied force, seems to have deterred the enemy from any attempt at resistance, and post after post was aban doned before the advancing expedition. First, the batteries at Ambalaki, and then the towns of Kertch and Yenikale, were evacuated, so that the allies had. nothing to do, after bivouacking at Ambalaki for the first night, but continue their march, and take possession of all the imparta.nt stations successively, up to Yenikale itself. In what strength the Russian garrisons actually mustered it is not easy to ascer tain, but, if there were no more than 2,500 troops at Kertch, it is clearly not probable that any effectual resistance could have been offered. After passing through Kertch the allied troops proceeded to Yenikale, and there took up their quarters for a time, a • small detachment being left at the former town to complete I the destruction ay the Government establishments.

We saw with the more concern and regret the expres sions attributed to Prince Albert at the Trinity House, because we knew the exaggerated sense in which they would be construed abroad, and that they would be triumphantly cited in corroboration of opinions that the constitutional government of this country incapacitates it for war. Since the disastrous mismanagement of the Crimean expedition, it has been the fashion on the Continent to moralise on the superiority of despotism, and to point to England as the example of a people who have so devoted themselves to the arcs of peace as to be fit for nothing else. Taking Sydney Smith's jest in earnest, they say that our mission is to make calico for all the world, and that with that consummation our successes end. Trade thrives in peace, SO they say, all our institutions are adjusted and fitted to a state of peace, and are utterly unsuited to war. And so they will glibly run on as if this great country were a new creation, a thing of yesterday, which had set up success fully in trade, but not had experience of any other cir cumstances and fortunes. And most unluckily calcu lated to countenance this strange mistake was Prince Albert's remark, "our constitutional Government is undergoing a heavy trial." But has the old ship never been out in a storm before? Have her qualities not been tested when:she had to buffet with all the powers of Europe combined against her? Why this Russian war is to her what the ripple at Spithead is to some old vessel which has made good weather of many a fierce gale. In how many wars has our constitutional Government been tried, and not found wanting? We need not travel far back, we need not even go up to the time of Anne; it is enough to refer to the mighty struggle with revo lutionary France and the power of Napoleon. Then our Government was indeed on its trial. Our enemy a great nation, full of enthusiasm, and directed by a consummate master of the art of war, who seemed to hold Fortune herself in his absolute bondage in vain were combinations cemented with our gold against him, he swept them away with his cannon, and turned coun ter-combinations against us. And England, sometimes standing alone, never stood undivided in this stupendous conflict. There was an opposition far from scrupulous, and there was much disaffection in the country, border. ing closely on sedition, if not treason itself. There was, too, not wanting a peace party, encouraging the enemy, who had its sympathies and good wishes, which magni fied his triumphs and deplor e d hi s reverses. Therewas a press not less bold th an t h e press of the present day, but inferior in character as respects knowledge, ability, and probity, and not having its defer ences to an improved public opinion. To con . summate all then evils, there Wer e b a d l aws for The third group composed the gallant and tough looking blue jackets, John Stirling, boatswain of the Sampson; Charles Brooks, coxswain; and Edward Pengelly, A.B. All these men were dressed in their respective uni forms, and were picked and Soe-looking fellows. They had all been in the Crimea, and had medals for their ser vices there, as well as for services in China, Cape of Good Hope, and other parts of the globe. The Marines and Marine Artillerymen were grouped together by the side of a gun, and the blue jackets, dressed in white trousers, blue jackets, and black glazed caps, were sta tioned against a capstan with a white ensign flying from a flag-staff, whilst an anchor, coil of rope, lead lines, and other nauticalimplements, werejudiciously included in the sketch. We believe it is her Majesty's intention to hare paintings made from these sketches, as also from those of other corps in the navy and army. lISALTEI OF LONDON DURING THE TYREE. (From, the Report of the Registrar-General. ) In the week that ended last Saturday 1,075 deaths were registered in the metropolitan districts. Of these 548 were deaths of males, 527 of females. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number was 923, which, to be compared with last week's return, must be raised in proportion to increase of popu lation. The average rate of mortality would have pro duced 1,015 deaths last last week ; the actual number was in excess of the estimated number by 60. Of the 17 classes which compose the table of fatal diseases the zymotic shows the greatest number of deaths referred to it. Next is the tubercular class ; and third, in its sums of mortaility, is the class of diseases of the respiratory organs. The three classes number re spectively 247, 221, and 138 ; the first beginning, at this period of the year, to increase, bilst the last de clines. Scarlatina, which seem s t o p reva il more than any other disease Of the zymotic class, was fatal in 54 cases last week. Seven deaths were caused by this complaint in Marylebone, 3 in the sub-district of St. John, Paddington, 2 in that of Regent's -park. Small pox was fatal in 23 cases, o f w hi c h 6 occurred to persons who were 20 years old or more. Diarrhoea, which averaged 15 in the previous six weeks, rose last week to 25, No cholera appears in the return. Of toe total number of 1,075 deaths registered, 522 were among persons under 20 years of age, 34 among those who had attained the age of 80 or upwards. Last week the births of 882 boys and 859 girls, in all 1,751 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54, the average number wag 1,383. At the Ro'yal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.031 in. ; and the mean daily reading was above 30 in. on every day after Monday ; it was highest on Wednesday, and on that day the mean was 30.253 in. The mean tempera ture of the week was 52.9 deg., which is 7 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean temperature is below the average on every day, and on the first four days the extent of this depression was from 8 deg. to 11 deg. The highest temperatdre of the week occurred on Friday, and was 74 deg.; the lowest on Thursday, when it was 39 9 deg. Ice was formed on the morning of Thursday. The mean dew-point temperature was 44.1 deg., and the difference between this and the mean air temperature was 8.8 deg. The highest tempe rature in the sun occurred on Friday, and was 101.5 deg. The temperature of the water in the 'Thames was 59.3. On Monday the wind blew from the south-west ; and on the following days it was iu the north or north eest. Some rain fell in the beginning of the week, but the whole amount did not exceed 8-100ths of an inch. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.
