SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. ROIJTINE AND RE D-TAPISM. (Froin, the Times of this day.) Some of our readers may possibly have fancied that in denouncing the pedantic system of routine observed in the administration of our military ilepartment3 we were rather unreasonable ; that regularity, after all, must be a necessary element in public business, that strict method could hardly do much mischief anywhere, ar‘d that official forr alities of some wure absolutely requisite, unless every office was to bec une a centre of c:nifusion. Now, if these ideas have ever been enter- tabled, we think we need do little more t) correct them than simply repeat two pieces of evidence delivered be fore the Committee of Inquiry now sitting. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge deposed that on one occasion, while the army was in Bulgaria, being anxious to see that his men were properly supplied with food, he desired an officer to get rations for them from the head quarter commissariat. "The first day be sent,".con tinned his Royal Highness, "although the men v, ere in want of their daily ration?, instead of (lending these ra tions at once, the commissariat sent a printed form tl the officer for him to fill up. Hence there was consider able delay, and then, not satisfied with that, the officer was supposed to have put down one or two more lion 63 than Le was entitled to. Instead of sending the rations for the men and pointing out the inaccuracy in the re turn of horses, they would send no rations at all, be cause the form was wrong. Upon that the officer came to me, and I desired him to go with his animals to get the rations and put matters to rights, and he did then get them that day, although •very late. •As it turned out, the commissariat officer was wrong,, and there was no mistake in the return at all. ' General Bentinck's evidence is, if possible, even more stelkfng. "On the occasion," said the gallant officer, "it voucher was sent back to me (i.e., from the commissariat), because it was signed half an inch too low. I then took the libertyof say ing that if this ever occurred again I would have that commissary turned out of the service. The difficulty ' never did occur afterwards." Be it obierved tliar these "difficulties" were attributable almost wholly, to the system and traditions of " the department," insomuch that the Duke 'of Cambridge makes an especial distinc tion in favour of the personal deserts of the Commissa riat officers attached t) his division, and stated that when. any "difficulty of the department" occurred they zealously carried out his instructions in endeavouring to surmount it. The same was probably the case in other divisions of the army also, but the system was too strong, and so elaborately had our practice been me tbodised as to be found useless for the realities of service. But - at . least, it may be said, such a system must needs secure economy and certainty, if it does nothing else. Our departments, if slow, must be sure. Nothing can, be wasted, lost sight of, or diverted from its proper des tination. On this bead, too, we can produce a very per tinent illustration, collected from the evidence of the Duke of Cambridge before the committee and the debates of Monday evening in the House of COmmons. Of course, it will be very . well recollected that when about this time twelvemonth our expeditionary army was on its way to the East, a scheme was conceived of supplying • the troops with malt liquor. This was not an ordinary practice, but it was very reasonably argued that what conduced to the health and strength of the soldier at home would do so abroad ; that, if rum was not the most wholesome beverage in London or Dublin, it was not likely to be so in Turkey, where the heat would be Mich greater and the service more exhausting, and if our troops were to be supplied With liquor imported from home they might as well have some of ' the best. If our recollections do not mislead us, cer tain eminent brewing firms offered to facilitate the exertions of Government in this matter by deliver ing sound beer or porter at Constantinople or Varna with very reduced profit to themselves ; but, at all Events, malt liquor was to go out, and people here comforted themselves with the reflection that our sol diers, sweltering under an eastern sue, would get their draughts of the national beverage almost as regularly as at home. Well, the porter was sent ; but to what pur pose ? Thanks t..) Colonel Boldero, we can do some thing towards tracking the erratic and costly course of four of these precious cargoes, and the reader, we hope, will be edified with the narrative. Cargo No. 1 was sent to Malta, but arrived too late, for the troops had proceeded to Varna, and to Varna therefore it followed them. Soklr Colanel Boldero and the Secretary of the Treasfiry are agreed as to the (acts ; and as the Guards, according to the Duke of Cambridge's evidence, did get porter at Scu'ari and Varna, we may presume perhaps that this or some simi lar consignment was duly consumed, though Colonel Boldero alleges that Government had to - pay no less than ,1,935/. demurrage bpon it. Cargo No. 2, however, as the Colonel affirm, having been despatched . from this country in March last, was lying untouched at Constai I tinople at the beginning of last December. the vessel having been engaged at the rate of about 4SOI. a month. Cargo No. 3, having been loaded in June, was discharged on the 14th of December at Scutari, and cargo No. 4 was also discharged at Scutari, demurrage having been incurred on both. It does not appear th 4t any portion of these consignments reached the Crimea, but we infer from the Duke of Cambridge'r, evidence that there did exist the means of supplying at least a portion of the army while in Bulgaria with this valuable ration, for his Royal Highness states that the Guards did not get their porter because, as the whole army could not be served with it, it was'nut thought advisable to make exceptions in favour of a particular regiment. Perhaps there was good intention at the bottom of such a resolution, though, if our stalwart Guardsmen.do really, as was al leged, suffer more than others from the loss of this liquor, the men of the line might have acted like Clive's Sepoys at Arcot, and thagnanimously surrendered their share of sustenance to those who were even less able than themselves to do without it. Bat what is to be said of the management displayed in this matter—of the system, which, though absolutely crippled with the weight of its own formalities, cannot yet insure the ac complishment of so simple a matter as the proper de livery and distribution of a few casks of porter at ceitain places in the Black Sea ,? The operation, one would have fancied, was about as simple a piece of business as need be. Parliament was ready with the funds, brewers with the article, and ship-masters with the vessels ; whereas, as far as we understand, not only, were the troops in Bulgaria and the Crimea left without a drop of the be verage provided for them while shiploads of it were lying at Constantinople, lAA the country has to pay heavy charges for the loss of time and trouble incurred bysuch proceeding. If the demurrage on one cargo alone amounted to near 2,0001., what was it upon the whole ? Could anything in the world be more discreditable to a business-like , people than ouch management as this Porter is sent out for the troops, but the troops never get it, because it does not arrive in sufficient quantities for general distribution, and, in the meantime, the ordi nary charges of the venture are multiplied by additional costa arising out of the delay I It is little wonder that, while the estimates are so large, the army is ill-provi sioned and =the country dissatisfied, for not only do we fail in carrying out our arrangements, but we contrive , somehow, with a singular perverseness of ingenuity, to make this failure more expensive than success. LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT VIENNA. (From,the Morning Herald of this day.) Among the various expedients adopted by Lord Pal merston to bring the Administration and aristocracy o this nation into contempt, he could have devised none mere successful than that of despatching a Colonial Se cretary to Vienna to negotiate the basis of a peace. With the usual flippancy which begins now to sit awkwardly on a man of his years and position, Lord Palmerston seemed to imagine that his reply to Sri J. Pahington's objection was amply sufficient, when he assured the right hon. baronet that the Government did not antici pate a longer stay on the part of Lord John Russell "than was necessary to settle the general principles of a treaty. 'The details would not detain him; they would be left to the adjustment of another." Now e itis enough to urge in proof of the futility of this answer, that all things have indicated on the part of Lord John, if he be not greatly misrepresented, an anticipation of a protract ed absence. He has sent for his family to follow him ; he has made' preparations for remaining at Vienna. Lord John is not a man to whom a stay in a foreign capital is a novelty ; he is not so young that absence from his family until Easter only is so unsupportable a grie vance. But what a ridiculous exonse I Settle the basis of a negotiation ! Why, has not this nation been settling this basis already—if ever, indeed, it is to be settled—off and on for more than the last two years I Has not the public m ind been continually amused by the four po i n t s —by Vienna notes-by general and by special ;irrangernents,.first with one power and then with the other—till plain men are in a maze, and neither gover nors nor pop], very clearly comprehend the actual con dition in which matters stand I Have •we not had already a tolerable specimen of the fruits likely to result from diplomacy in the success reaped by Lord John at the very outset of his negotiations ? But whatever be the result, this, at all events, is certain, that if Lord John is not to return to this country until the basis of a treaty he determined, the colonies are not likely t reap the benefit of his pane services ; a, d w tether complaints, and just grounds i , f complaints, title ails) or shall arise hereafter, whether th e con di t i on of ourg csloni,:s hi each as to satisfy the nation or not, Lord Mr. r,,b L i o em we s John is not at his post.

If the Colonial Minister Vienna, and wholly occupied in other du ties those lhaii . which belong to his o ffi ce, a Colonial Minister is a use less in' • cumbra,nce. Whether any complaint has arises', or is likely to arise, does not affect the question. It is acknowledged by all parties that there is at this moment much dissatisfaction in many of the colonies, insurrec tit,n in some, war, in others. If the Secretary for the Home Department is sufficient for all the duties of his own office, and for the arduous task of managing the colonies under their present ci r cumstances, let, us con solidate the two ; then Lord Joh n may play the Pleni potentiary at Vienna as long as he pleases, and settle the // i a 4 _ , ---4256' . ..4,4.'41',,e,l -, A ' f e , . , Ht),, ,c.,, , ,a,- /, '; 4 1' 1 /..

A)/ ni argument nearer home ; to himselfrin::Aort, own domestics. Then lct him judge .110i4fatAt consider a similar excuse justifiable. POr install( lordship's "man" should absent himself fd w mission of his own in the servants' hall, and leave the dressing of his lordship's hair to the French cook or the groom of the kitchen (we beg Sir George Grey's par don), it is quite possible that her Majesty's Secretary of State might not for the time be a loser by the change ; but what would he feel—what would he say ? Sup posing that his "Hyperion curls" were as admirably ad justed as they have been heretofore, would he think himself very unreasonable fc.r refusing his assent to such an arrangement ? Would he wait for some instance of maladroitness to occur before he complained Would he be content with an answer couched in his own words to Sir John Pakington, "That he (the cook) and the scullion Wera responsible for what was done, anti if there ( (raid be- brought-fervtard any .ehnrge_ of neglect they wae rea jastify their counie, an d b ear Vie bl ame for what bad .been done 7" woffid he' eMlSidt r that a justiliabla answer ? The neglect i 3 committe,l already ; the greatest neglect tlAt a public ( r private E va t can commit, of being absent from his proper duties, t.) take up those which du not properly, belong to his functions. And in that neglect Lord Paltneriton himself is a pa), ticeps Why, what a shallow excuse is it to say that n• harry has yet been done, and no ne!;lect can yet be proved, when every sensible man will feel that it is not merely the injury incurred, but the chance and hazard of 'evil that may be incurred, by absence from his post, which constitute the real offence of a Minibter. And we say at once, that the excuse urged by Lord Palmerston would be equally valid for any absence from duty, felt any collusive arrangements of clerks in an establisinnerv"; or of servants in a household, if culpability-is to consist only in the harm which actually has, or rather can be proved to have, taken place. When the injant has taken place it is too late to compla;n; and that would be a very sorry policy indeed (though not altogether unlike Lord Palmerston's late doings) which should only try to remedy evils w h en ' th ey h ave a l rea dy occurred, - and not provide against their occurrence. This is exactly the same•argument, in kind and spirit, so familiar in the mouths of that Cabinet in which Lord Palmerston held lately a subordinate station ; they, -too, complained bitterly of all remeirtrance ; they would have silenced [all reproaches by the same maxim ; they, too, in the j spirit of this veteran Po/onius, woull have barred the door when the steed was stolen. In the meantime Lord Palmerston and Sir George Grey have quite enough to occupy their thoughts and their time with the duties of their respective offices, without taking upon them the duties and responsibilities of another. The nation has not demanded this at their hands, nor will it accept their responsibility. It will be time enough for that when the administrative talent of the country is at so low an ebb that, failing the presence of Lord John, no other Colonial Secretary is to be had. The country employs its servants, of whom Lord Pal merston is one, in the same way ns Lord Palmerston or any other gentleman employs his, and rewards them by honours and emoluments for special purposes ; it requires of them, in return, the performances of special duties— it expects that neither it nor its dependencies should re ceive injury, or be exposed to the hazard even of receiv ing injury, so far as the vigilance of its servants, and their attention to their respective duties can prevent such hazards. But that duty neither Lord- Palmerston, nor his colleague Sir George Grey, nor yet Lord John Russell, are strictly, fulfilling ; they are faithless to the trusts severally committed to them ; Lord Palmerston and Sir George Grey, because the time devoted by them to the Colonial Office ought to be solely devoted to their own special duties ; Lord John Russell, because - he is neglecting the obligations imposed upon him when he accepted office. We care not whether the colonies have complained or not—whether any overt act of neglect can be proved against Lord John's lieutenants or not— his way of managing, or rather mismanaging the public service, is the greatest neglect and the greatest evil that can befall the nation—an example of confusion and dis order in the highest and most dangerousplace. What more would Palmerston have ? Can nothing short' of open rebellion constitute neglect or wrong THE POLTTICAL INFLUENCES SURROUND ING THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER 11. (Frog, the Daily News of this day:) The telegraphic messages from Vienna, . which on Tuesday encouraged several large capitalists to purchase extensively in the funds, and sent up the prices of pub lic securities to a. height that yesterday found them un able to retain, were dictated—on the most charitable interpretation—more by the wishes than the knowledge of the persons who transmitted them. Beth purchasers and their correspondents believe in the speedy advent of peace because they desire it. They hope for it , iu de fiance of every threatening sign to the contrary in the political horizon. The Emperor Alexander is surrounded by the same statesmen and the same political influences as his father. The promotion of General Rudiger is ominous ; for that able and experienced soldier, though . a German by birth, has become thoroughly Russianiecd, and has adoptid all theNentintents and maxims of ebe,,Sclavonie party. Within t e prih-te circle'of trie.young Emperor, there are only terb-peresnes from whir = rnftuonce over his mind good results may, with any degree of con fidenc‘e be augured. The one is the Empress, the other Baron Lieven, who has -been.charged with the missien of fnrinally announciog the-Emperor's accession to the Court of Vienna. Both are deservedly listened to by Alexander ; but what are they when opposed by a nu morons faction, strongly entrenched in t:ie moet impor tant offices of the Strite The footing en which the new Emperor is likely to stand with the Courts of Berlin and Vienna. must also taken into account. The vain and facile King of if allowed ) will only to tlbieelmievoeretfihrantilyheicettxiteretti),;elsluosvbeiarnviine ' re r r u es gs ts ia mind of Alexander somewhat of the same influence that Nicholas exercised over his own. The young Emperor beats sec!, a strong resemblance to his uncle in mind and disposition, that it will be easy for the intrignants of the St. Petersburg Court tolead him to assume a compliant and deferential tone in his intercourse with the King of Prussia, by which he will be enabled to guide that mo narch, under the pretence of being guided by him. A similar game will be played with the-Emperor of Austria. The domineering manner adopted by Nicholas roused him to assert his independence ; the eamarilla which rules the new Czar will take care not to fall into the same mistake. All the fawning duplicitywhich Hes sian statesmen and diplomatists know so well how , to bring into play will be exerted to alienate the two German Powers from the Western Allies, and re-cement the union of the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Governments. Al most the last words Uttered - by Nicholas were a charge to the bystanders to convey to the King of Prusaia his dying injunction to abide by the instructions of his father's will. The passage in the document alluded to is as fol lows :—" Beware, my dear Frederi c k, o f th e man i a for innovation which has become so prevalent ; beware -of many impracticable theories that have bee propagated ; but beware, at the same time, of an error that may he equally fatal, an exclusive predilection for antiquaitid institutions. It is only by avoiding these two rocks that you can introduce really useful improvements. Main tein, as far as depends upon you, a good understanding with the other European Powers. Above all, may Prussia, Russia, and Austria never be divided ; their union is the security for the peace of Europe.,, This advice must be read by the light of the character of the Prince to whom it was addressed. The antithetical balance between undue predilection for innovations, and undue attachment to, the obsolete, means more than the usual seesaw slang - 0 those who seek to mask an inveterately obstructive' policy' by semi-liberal phrases. It was intended to warn the medievalist that there is danger in any movement, whether it be back wards er forwards. Only in death-like immobility is their hope for despotism..

The language of Austria has again become auspiciously tinged with procrastination. There is imminent danger that. the murex euue atVissula may prove as dangerously and disgracefully protracted and aimless as the earlier conferences on the grist Eastern difficulty. But the English Premier and his noble plenipotentiary at Vienna, may rest assured that the country will not again tolerate their allowing theta selves to be entangled in the meddles of such stale diplo matic falsehood.
