(Continued from our first edition of yesterday.) Mr. Maxwell then went on to state that these smaller stores were apt to, Tun rhort, and no trouble was taken by the dispensers to replenish them. Consequently, when application was made to them for some article of which they were out, they told the person asking for it that " there was none in stock," which was reported in:the hospital. There might, nevertheess, be plenty in the general store. Sir J. Pakington—Under whose authority were those persons ? Mr. Maxwell—Under Dr. Menzies at that time. By Lord Seymour—lt was impossible for, the dis pensers to render an account of how they disposed of the supplies they obtained from the general store. By the Chairman—Coming next to the purveying department,there was the purveyor-in-chief, who had the superintendence over all the subordinate officers in his department. Mr. Ward was the purveyor at the general hospital, but at that time he was apparently under Mr. Wreford. They visited the purveyor's department in the same way as they had done the apothecaries'. It was nearly Christmas before he received any return fr6m the purveyor, and when it was sent in it only extended from the Ist May to the 31st August. lie . temonitta,ted with Mr. Ward o n th e irup;irtais - ce41.140 Miltink,a pro per return, and examined Ittgi itipori- , 4:arioufiimnts, but he subsequently received a letter from hiu) l)eggiug for further time to be allowed him to. make the raquired„ re turns, on the ground of the overvihdraiiig nature :of ; his duties. He (witness) went to-T,a4aklava? and en his re turn found that Mr. Ward WaSidead.-13i)fore Mr. Ward died Mr. Wreford appeared to all a, very anomalous posi tion ; but he afterwards assumed the duties of puveyor in- chief in the East. The Gold — Mining Share Market has continixid flat throughout the week, and although marry transactions we re effected yesterday, they were genezatly at reduced ra; tea. The Anglo-Califorilian Gold Mining Ca mpany have atwices to the 13th Feb. The rain had enabled Sir 11. Huntley to re-commence crushing for a fe•.v hours each day, and the result, so far as the agent was able to -re por,!;, was very satisfactory. Tao Irish Consols Mining Company have convened a raes.,ing for the 10th April next, when it is expected a resniiution will be proposed to wind it up. MURDER BY STARVATION IN NEWINGTON EVORKHOUSE.---EXTI?AORDINARY CASE. For some time past considerable sensation has existed in the neighbourhood of the workhorse of St. Mary, Newington, in c msequence of a rumour that one of the pauper intuatep of that establishment, a female about 22 years of age, had wilfully caused the death of her own offspring by starvation. These circuuaaanc( s becoming known to Mr-Thomas Cuok, the summoning officer for the district, he imme diately communicated with W. Carter, Esq., the coroner fever East Surrey, who issued a warrant, for an inquest, and which was held yesterday morning in the board room of the workhouse,. By Lord Seymour—The purveyor-in -chief had the superintendence of all the purveyors at Scutari, and he believed in the Crimea ; but he ass not surq.-....V0 found no fault with the purveyors' instructions—bUt With the execution of them. . , By Mr. Ball—He did not hit-itself examine the books of the purveying department after the death of Mr. Ward. By the Chairman—He went . over` the hospitals at Scutari before ho left. With regard to the barrack hos pital he found that the building was in tolerably good general repair. It was not very tidy, and there was no efficient ventilation. Although there was au efflaviuua from the necessaries he was not struck with any objection. able smells in the wards. In some respects the attend ance on the patients was very bad, and the orderly sys tem was very bad., They were men who were taken from the ranks and were not of very strong Constitn tions, and who were otherwise not adapted to their duties. Those who were efficient were constantly re moved, and the medical officers complained that they lost their best men. It was his opinion that the pur veyor was reSponsible for the cleanliness of the hospital. In a barrack it would devolve on the military com mandant. He had read Mr. Stafford's evidence, but he did not agree with what that gentleman stated. He (witness) had, however, only been at the barrack hos pital once. By the Chairman—He inspected the kitchens. He thought cooking stoves were not at all adapted for hos pital purposes. Whilst he was there he had much evi dence as to the irregularity of the supply of food to the patients. He thought this arose froth the radically bad system in which the food was in the first in , tance issued by the purveyor. He observed the cond,tion of the linen of the patients. He found some when he first went there without any linen at all, the men being in shirts of a filthy description. The . washing at the gene ral hospital was done by some Armenians. In frequent cases some of the shirts never came back, and the men were of course reluctant to part with them for fear they might never 'have them ~again. With regard to the barrack hospital the purveyor had made a contract with an Italian to do it, but he frequently broke the bargain ; and the purveyor was obliged at last to have recourse to somebody else; but it was never done well. The fact was, they did not understand the plan of boiling clothes as they did in this country, and, of course, clothes never could be perfectly purified unless they were boiled.- The first witness examined was Ann-Halford, a pauper inmate and one of the nurses. She denosect that the de leased was about three months old, mid was the illegiti mate child of a woman pained Sturges. The woman Sturges was an inmate of what was, called the "Infant's Ward" fur about a month, and during that period she repeatedly refused to suckle the infant, or attend to it in any way, and used to- beat it with avat.violeace. It consequently wasted away, and witness accordingly. gave information to-Mr. Lownd, the medical officer, who. told her to feed it, but she refused to do so. The mother was afterwards charged at the police court with neglect ing the deceased, and the witness thenfed it with arrow root, boiled milk,- and sopped bread, but she died on Saturday last. When -she (witnes9 went to request the mother to suckle the child, she refused, and said " she wished the little devil was dead." Witnass had - no doubt Sturges wished the child to die, as she several times ad mitted it. Oa the 15th inst. she said she knew it was her own child, but she would not feed it, as she wished it to the. Sarah Hollyoak corroborated the above evidence. kV. G. 11. Lownd, the medical *officer of the work house, said that ho bad mad a post rn,ortenb examination, and found the body almost bloodless. He was of opinion that death had been accelerated by want of proper nourishment, which had beon withhel&from the child by its mother. After a short consultation the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder against Sarah Sturges, otherwise Ann Sturges." JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUB—FIRST STONE OF NEW nouns LAID.—The first stone of tho . new club house in Regent-street, Waterloo;-place, was laid on Thursday la-t by the Right Hon. the Earl of Orkney, assisted by the committee and numerous members of the club. At the desire of the Chairman, Mr. Maxwell then read from his report a list of the articles Miss Nightingale was in the habit of supplying. Some of these, he said, were supplied, not because there were none in store, but because they were not of good quality. The Chairman—Was port wine amongst these ? Mr. Maxwell—Yes ; Miss Nightingale stated that the port wire was only logwood, and Mr. Macdonald has repeated that before the committee. I tasted the port wine, and it was exceedingly good—so good' that I had some several times afterwards. (Laughter.) The Chairman—l suppose the person who gave you the wine to taste thought you were a commissioner? Mr. Maxwell—l didn't know. I didn't give him much time. I went to him whilst others were being served, and I said, " Give me a glass of that." (Laughter.) No doubt there were varieties in the wine, so I got good and Mr. Macdonald got bad. (A. laugh.) By the Chairman—The commission were instructed not to wait till their report was approved of before making suggestions for the better management of the hospital, and he representyl various matters which it - was desir able to a!ter to Lord W. Paulet, but he was not spoken to relative to the linen and washing, becatise he (witness) did not think that was a matter with which his lord ship bad anything at all to do. At half past three o'clock the room was cleared for 'consultation, anti the oornrnittco afterwards adjourned until after the Easter vacation. THE LATE GEN. SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER.—At a meeting of the executive'committee of the Napier Testi monial, held on Saturday, at the United Service Mu seum, Whitehall, and presided over by the Earl of Ellenbcirough, it was resolved that the design of Mr. George G. Adams, for a statue in memorial. of the above distinguished officer, should be selected. The statue, to be executed by Mr. Adams, will be of bronze, twelve feet in height, and will be placed on a granite pedestal eighteen feet in height. It will be erected in the metropolis. THE AMERICAN Mens.--The next mails from the United States to this country will be conveyed by the American steam-ship Nashville, Captain Berry, which was advertised to leave New York at noon on the 21st instant, and may, consequently, be expected to arrive in, the Mersey on Sunday next. The Nashville has been chartered for the trip by the. Collins Company, to relieve their steamer, the Pacific, which, we believe, requires some repairs. BnOMPTON HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a meeting of the governors of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest was held for the purpose of increasing the medical staff by the election of two assistant physicians, An eastern wing, completing the original design of the building, has just been finished and f u rnished,, and as the brds are thereby increased from 90 to 230 it has been found necessary to make an addition to the ordinary number of medical officers. Seycial names were entered as candidates, and at the concrision• of the poll, Dr. Pollock and Dr. Smith were declared elected. MARKET NEWS.,-(THIS RAE) MADAMS TUSSA.I7D'S EXIIIBITION.—Among the latest additions to this popular exhibition are the portrait models of the Emperor and Empress of Austria, the former beink in the dress of an Austrian General, and the latter in a splendid court dress, composed of the finest white lace, and d ecorate d with magnificent dia monds. The model of the Empress haa boon taken from whust lately executed by the court sculptor, and is con sidered an admirable likeness. - No doubt both figures will become highly attractive during the holidays, and excite much curiosity in the visitors, from their high position and the prominent part likely to he taken by the Austrian court.

THE WATERLOO SCHOONER.—A Calais fishing smack, belonging to a man named Lelong, put into l3oulogne sur-Mer, two days ago, to land six English sailors, whom it had picked up in a small boat at sea. The men de clared that they were the crew of the Waterloo schooner, of 205 tons, which had been run down on her way from Medoc to Holland, by a large vessel. The schooner, they added, foundered so fast that they had only just time to jump into the boat in which they were found. An extraordinary meeting of the Agua Fria Mining Company was held yesterday afternoon, when the di rectors were authorised to raise a sum not exceeding 15,000/. upon debeatures bearing interest at 15 per cent., to liquidate present - encumbrances. (between 9,0001. and 10,000/.) ; and to provide funds tor future operations. Tile statement of accounts to the 23d of March shows a total of receipts (including. 67,0001.) of 104,618/ , and a ba!ance of 2,9791. A com mittee of five shareholders have been appointed to confer with, the directors. • Lie AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.—" Further papers" re specting the alterations in the conAitutions of the Aus tralian colonies were, yesterday presented to Parlia ment in continuation of papers presented last July, August, and December. Ttiose before us refer solely to Van Diemen's Land, ane a cottespondenee between the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir ri • Denison, and the Colonial-office, in the year 18 4, on the subject of the responsible government of that colony. Sir W. Denison expressed his views at lingth in a confidential despatch dated February 4, 1854, and in November of that year forwarded to the Colonial-effice an act to establish new electoral districts in Van Diemen's Land, and to increase the ninaber of members of its Le gislative Comic% and anothee i act for the establishment of a Parliament and the granting of a Civil List to her Majesty. By this act, the Le,gislative Council and the Assembly were, with the governor, to be collectively styled "The Parliament" of !Van Diemen's Land. The Council - was to consist of 15 members, to be elected by freeholders of 501. a-year, and persons qualified, by education ; the members to go out in rotation, five at the end of every three years. T he H oase of Assem bly would consist of 30 members elected by the occu pants of 101. houses, by persons receivingt salary of 1001. a-year, and persons supposed to belong to the educated classes. The Assembly to 'be elected quinquennially: The Civil List was to be 15,300/. a year, and a reserve of 15,0001. was to be made for ',Olio worship. Sir G. Grey, in a despatch of the 3d of August last, had inti mated to Sir W. Denison that het Majesty's Government was disposed to grant to the people of Van Diemen's Land the same privileges that had )een offered to other Australian colonies, and that, provided the Legislative Council was so constituted as to poops the respect and confidence of the community, and !efts directly liable to popular impulse than the Asiernblp thii nomination of the Council by the Crown would sot be insisted on by the Home Government. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—BAtiNswf ,E , Thursday. —The magistrates of this town were ctigaged a long time yesterday afternoon in inquiring itto a most savage and unprovoked assault by a gentletaan, named Barnard, living on his property at Ilfraconbe, upon Mr. Morgan, a most respectable surgeon of Ws town. it will be re membered that about a week sine The Sun contained a report of a case tried at the Exeter assizes, in which a girl named Eliza Boucher, who had been living as a servant with Mr. Barnard, was indicted for the murder of her two children. On that occasion - Mr Morgan was called as a witness, and he mentioned s om dbing which the girl had told him as to her master's couluct towards her: At this Mr. Barnard seems to have been annoyed ; an d ac cordingly on Friday last he gees a boy 6d. to go to Mr. Morgan, and tell him to come to the Nortla-walk, near this town, to a person who bad broken his arm. Mr. Morgan accordingly proceeded there, and on his ar rival Mr. Barnard walked up behind him, and struck him many heavy blows on Cris head and shoulders with a hunting whip. Mr. larnard was also accom panied by a. bloodhound, whiale it is said, prevented some persons who were staiding near from interfer ing. After he had received considerable injuries Mr. Morgan contrived to eseape'to a neighbouring house, and his wounds were aftOwarfis attended to by another surgeon. A. warrant was on the next day issued by the, magistrates, and Mr. Ba,enarl,vas apprehended in Lon don, from which place he, was brought here by the super intendent of police. On his arrival at the station a vast crowd assembled, and hooted at him, so that it was found necessary to take precautionary measures for his •eifety. Subsequently he was taken before the imagis tratee, and committed Ir trial at the sessions, bail being taken—hiva'eelf in 1001., and two sureties in a similar amount. The cane lias caused 'considerable excitement here. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

At a meeting of the New Grenada Company, held yesterday afternoon, the report was adopted. An outlay has taken place upon the Frontino Mine to the extent of 33,6811., and the ,produce in gold and mineral on hand has been 10,3401. On the Bolivia property the expen diture has been 14,6581., and the produce 1,528/. The prospects, according to the latest advices, are considered favourable, but the directors intimate that they have en countered many difficulties in developing the under taking. A. subscription of 4001. to the project of the Atrato Canal will prove a loss, no progress having been made in carrying . out the company. The necessity of economy in management was enforced by several share holders and it was agreed that the meetings shall in future be held half-yearly, SPI.RIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. • THE MISMANAGEMENT OF THE WAR. (From the Times of this day.) e last official accounts from the Crimea happily confirm the ;previous statements, that the rigour of the winter is already past, that the health and condition of the allied armies are improving, that supplies of all kinds are abundant, and that: Lord Raglan and General•Canrobert have under their con - Inland an effective army of at least 190,0 f 0 men, inured to tbe perils of war by the hardships they have surmounted, and f ready to execute with the utmost gallantry any operations iu vbich they may be engaged. Thus far, our confidence in the 'strength of the allied forces and in their ability to enter nix m a fresh campaign is revived ; but, on the other hand, we are led to consider with increasing solicitude the _nature of the eat erprise they are carrying on, and the apparent absence of that vigour and promptitude of command which is indispen sal Ile to success. What are the strategical plans of the gene ra commanding these armies ? What are the prospects of bri ngiog to a prosperous result the operations of the siege? W; rat means are they prepared to adopt in order to encoun ter and defeat the vast and varied resources which the enemy,, wi th indefatigable energy and great skill, is ready to turn ag: Oust us ? To these questions we may be told that no an swer can be given until we learn the results of the reE xilutions taken by the last council of war. But we: cannot shut our eyes to the fact that no indication has ye'; been given of any connected system of action, that s invention and originality of resource displayed in this siege have hitherto been altogether on the side of the Rus sia ass, and that some considerable portion of an interval of th ae which is absolutely irretrievable and invaluable to the Al lied armies has already escaped without a single blow being sts uck. Let us first consider this state of things with reference to th ; siege, properly so called, of Sebastopol. It is known, from the attack made by the French on the night of the 23d of February, and from the despatch of General Canrobert of the 17th of March, that the Russians have succeeded in estab lishi ag themselves in positions between our own lines and the original outworks of the town. The General speaks of "an attack directed on the 14th of March against a first line of Russian ambuscades at the parallel opened before the hillock on which the Russians have established their new work in front of the Malakhoff Tower," This hillock or niamelon, which is, we believe, the same known by our men as Gor don'.%-bill, has now become one of the principal objects of the French attack, but no impression has yet been made upon it, although it effectually protects the Alalakhoff Tower behind it. En fact, in this extraordinary siege the common order of thdngs is inverted, for, instead of the besieging army working up to the walls of the town by regular ap proacilaes, in this case we find the besieged garrison throw ing o at fresh works which bring them closer to our lines, and the s•rx‘ce between the two Antagonists is progressively nar rowed, not by our drawing nearer to the works of the enemy, but 1)y the enemy advancing his works to inset ours. Hence the fre4plent postponements and disappointments of the hope that wur fire would shortly open on some important front of the Oa ae. On the other hand, it appears, that ono battery, built by the French, but armed and manned hy British troops, has boon pushed forward so as to command 4 portion of the great ':harbour; and one of the Russian steapaers of war, the Gron tonossetz, has been sunk by our fire. From the extreme proxi in ity of the outposts, which arc in some places within 200 3am] s, a constant fire is kept up by riflemen stationed in pits ,for shelter, and the hand-to-hand combats of the French with the garrison are frequent and murderous. -This is a. ' state of things which cannot continue much long or ; and, whether the plan of the assault be pers evened in or abandoned, nothing is to be gained by a more protracted delay of that, fire for which such - vast and laborious preparations have been made. Tl:e next r4ep in the operations must depend on the result of the general bombardment ; but until that pohit 'is decided no thing- relse will be attempted. Let that be tried, since every thing laq in readiness for it ; but, should the .`result prove less complei.,e than was at one time anticipated by the engineers of the- , army, a totally different plan of operations must be resorte d to. As tl m season is now returned at which an army in the Crime's. can take the field, we look with far greater confidence to a ka dicious and enterprising plan of strategical movements than to a persistence in the siege. The whole coast of the Grim( is open to the conveyance of troops to any point by the Er seam fleet. The distances from one place to another are incon siclerable. The Turks, under Omer Paella, already hold one a trong position on the flank of the Russians at Eupatoria. Another corps d'armee might operate with the utmost facility on their rear from Kaffa to Kara-su; and we are wholly unable to conceive the grounds on which an army capalak of conquering• any force that can be brought to meet in the , field should remain penned up in an intrencled camp which is literally beleaguered by the enemy. That of all positions the least advantage ous 23111 the most insecure. For, even if we suppose that Sebastopol itself fell under our bombardment, until'-we have beaten the Russian army in the field we should be urn ble to hold our conquest, and might be exposed to at tack :from the whole force of the enemy outside the walls. There is reason to believe that the 2d division of the Russian army, under General Paniutin, is already on its march south of Pero kop, and it is impossible to doubt that large reinforce ments are on their way. the vitil question for us is whether the allied Generals can anticipate their arrival, and employ with, erect those short but decisive moments which mark the open inf ; of this campaign.. _ _ Public opinion and the energy, of this nation were not un duly ea :cited last autumn to urge upon the - Government the necessity of reinforcing the army after the battle of Inkorman, and cesupplying those numerous deficiencies which had mani fested. - themselves in every branch of the service. The subse quent' debates in Parliament, and the disclosures before the Com) nAtee of Inquiry, have most fully ratified that appeal. Wei to net flatter ourselves that public opinion can either dis cern er direct with unerring sagacity the complicated move ments of an army, depending, as they _do, on a thousand caustis which are only known to the officers command ing on the spot. But this consideration reduces the whole question to one of confidence in those officers. The -soldiers have, by common consent, done their work. mobly. They held the unarmed redoubt at Inkerman against: a myriad foes, they laboured through the winter in the teen ches, and the ...turnin g spring him the survivors, at loona, ~,'that glorious army fresh and eager for battle. It is for the' generals of the Allied armies to direct this energy to victory. They cannot expect to remain where they are. They cannot expect to succeed in any operation of import ance ' f a:v confining themselves within an intrenched camp. Nay, th.e very soil around the camp and the ports, infected by the.. continued presence of so large a body of men and the sad r mnains below - its surface, will drive us off as summer advances with its pestilential exhalations. A stationary in vasioi t and a siege in which th e besiegers are more complet e ly invested than the garrison, are contradictions in terms, and every 'day we lose at this crisis will increase our difficulties hereafter. The situation in which the generals now End themselves is precisely that which they had to anticipate throu shout the winter, and they ought therpfore to be pre pared to meet it. Their aforesight, their vigour, and their resourot,s aro now upon their trial, and we cannot entirely conceal our apprehensions that the same apathy or irresolu tion which left the army tl;ronghout the winter to struggle again:it incalculable evils may defer till it be too late those movements in the Bad which alone hold out &fair prospect of ultimate success. STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS. ( Front the Morning Herald of thi.i day.) Lord Ellenborough's review last night of the war policy of the last and present Government, and of our position with reference to the great question of the age, was marked by that originality and power, and that command of the subject, which he commonly brings to every discussion. "Wo had at the commencement of this war," observed the noble lord, with striking force, "an indulgent Parliament and an enthu siastic people ; we have now a discontented people and an in quiring Parliament ;" and with consummate ability he indi cated. the causes which have induced this unhappy change, and indicated with merciless distinctness the authors of our national calamities and embarrassments. We shall not follow Lord Ellenborough in his bill of indict ment—it is drawn up with a completeness which renders comment superfluous—and if there be one fact more generally understood and recognised than anothe r , it i s , that under existing management things must go from bad to worse, if the state of affairs at home and abroad admits of degree. England has never been engaged in a war in which the people took from the first so great an interest as this ; from the first it has been popular, and notwithstanding the sacri fices, the losses, and the management, popular it con ti nes t o be. No_ Ministry ever undertook the conduct of a war under auspices more favourable than the first Coalition. They bad the hearty support of Parliament and of the country ; they had no factious difficulties to surmout—their • course was clear before them—at least as clear as any course can be to clouded or warped intellects; they had ample time to ()Maki the fullest information of the nature of the undertakirg they were about to engage in, and of the enemy they were about to encounter; they slighted their opportunities—they have made shipwreck of asplendid expedition, and have bequeathed its remains to be the sport of their presumptuous successors: The Parlianient that was indulgent has naturally become in quiring—the popular enthusiasm has naturally changed to moody diecontent, _ . _ _ Lora Ellenborough complained of the length of the adjourn ment, and contrasted its duration with the trifling amount of public business transacted since the commencement of the session. His lordship seems to forgot, however, that- Lord Palmerston's Government is essentially a Government on suf ferance ; that every species of shift and manoeuvre is resorted to, hi order to prolong its precarious and shambling exist ence. Anything .to gain time. The chapter of accidents is the chapter of their existence ; and, in the present aspect of Europe a great many events may be pressed into sixteen days. They have taken seven or eight days of grace, and few will be found to deny that they stood in frightful need of them. _ _ _ There is one portion of Lord Ellenborough's speech which we confess disagreeably surprises us. It is that which treats of the purpose of the expedition to the Crimea, and its pro bable results. Our space does not permit us on this occasion to traverse fully his lordship's opinions on this subject, but we shall take au early opportunity of referring to them at length. Lord Ellenborough is of opinion that the invasion of the Crimea was from first to last a mistake; that the allies will never take Sebastopol ; that, even if they did, its posses sion would be impossible, and the razing of it absurd, with out an army of 100,00 men to occupy the isthmus and keep the passes to the eastward. We answer, if Sebastopol be not razed, the Russian supremacy in the Black Sea is undis turbed, and if undisturbed, we have gone to war and lost an army literally for nothing. The maintenance of Sebastopol as a great naval arsenal is essential to the extension of Rus sian power in the south—once reduced and dismantled, a small force would easily prevent its reconstruction. Russia knows this well, and therefore sho makes a deadly stand against the besieging armies. No man of Lord Ellenborough's abilities can take up any view of a subject without investing it with interest, if not with importance ; but we are quite satisfied that his reasoning in this matter is fallacious, or that it can only be maintained by denying ab time the acknow edged object of our enterprise. THE VIENNA CONFERENCES. (Front the Daily News of this day.) o see little communications f o r .uiprospect Vienna, of to A ra cc go r h d n ing nu t s o s o el u l r is most recent t understood peace at present, and to expect to be in England by the 14th of April. We may add that some of the most sincere and in timate allies of Ministers express no regret at this stat e of affairs, but, on the contrary, freely express their conviction that any peace made now would be precarious and uncertain. Respecting the course that will be pursued by R uss i a little doubt seems to be felt in any quarter. How Austria will act is a more puzzling in q uir y . M. Drou yn de l'Hu on his way to th a t capita l. _At least soonstahyes other r .ilfo it i hand, t u w r e — l e i s a it.no fromp r pro immediately e a e r d ell im ab rted s i o a ur tel2; t o Vienna. d eeme d indispensable that th e di p l omat f c c hampions of t w ha h t en Co i u t n is t N e sselrode is already France and Russia should have a personal reneontre in the lists at Vienna, matters may be said to look serious. Russia must entertain a strong conviction that the w a verin g faith of Austria is assailable ; F rance tha t it s precious ally requires to be narrowly watched. The ready concession by Russia of those points which most affect the personal interests of Aus tria, and the 'confidence with which Russia leaves the garri- Sons of Poland to be occupied principally by its Asiatic troops, had already pointed to the same conclusion. • . But, whatever courso Austria may see At to adopt , the War must go on until Russia gives' a sufficient guarantee for the security and tranquillity of Europe. And with • reference to this consideration, it cannot be too often repented that nothing short of the dismantling and cession of Sebastopol by Russia can be accepted as a guarantee. The allegation that if Russia consents to the diminution of its naval force in the -Black Sea, Sebastobol may be left standing, cannot bear examination. Sebastopol is of no use to Russia except for the purpose of aggression. Unless Russia is allowed to maintain a powerful fleet in the hartour of Sebastopol, that fortress can afford ro protection to Odessa or the harbours in the Sea of Azoff. As a safe -4SiluMlo4apy fleet that Russia may have constructed .101,erof ya the docks of Nicolaieff and smuggled into elaastinpl3l4:thitt fortress is a permanent menace not only to Cenetantinte, but to the com merce and navigation of the:Daniite.:flV CI . aig.as the Crimea, with Sebastopol at its south-Wdetern suite, Isiteld by Russia, that power commands the 'Bladif-fielilstopol n in the , m.the, Euxie what Algiers of the Czars must necesearity.l4ehat Algiers in the hands of the Depi, wan, n Ap Mediterranean. The fleets of the Algerines were repeitedlY siveettfron.t the seas by the levies of France and Englan,d—ameidiment for the future was solemnly promised by the reigning Dey after every such infliction —and yet the • Algtrines were never brought to abandon their piratical courses permanently, un til France took Algiers into its own hands. In like manner Russia, after every defeat inflicted upon it by the European Powers, will promise to desist from its ambitious scheme of making the Euxine a Russian lake, and annexing all the ter ritories that surround it ; but -Until the Crimea has been wrested from Russia, that *eject will be;tesiuned as soon as time has , alleviated the smaa of cha..stieement.'- DeZenda est Carthago. , §ebn.itoPol - must come down, and the Russians must be driven out of the Crimea, notwith standing the strenuous efforts of the English and the Euro pean aristocracy to avert that catastrophe. And these ob.. jects are not to be attained !by pounding away at the south side of Sebastopol only. Everything that can be learned of the natural and artificial strength of that stronghold in creases the certainty that it can never be taken until it is completely invested—and it cannot be completely invested until the Crimea has been cleared of the Russian army that now keeps the field there. The language held upon this sub ject by Sir . De Lacy Evans in the House of Commons last night is as weighty as it is true. The gallant General told the House that the best way to wage war successfully is to concentrate our forces upon one point, instead of scattering them over remote and isolated localities ; that the real struggle with Russia will take place in the Euxine, and that the greater part of our forces ought to be directed thither ; that recruits for the army before Sebastopol, and steamers of light draught and gun-boats for the Sea of Azoff ought to be sent off without delay. If Ministers listen to this advice from an able and experienced veteran, and act upon it with intelli g,ence and promptitude, they may yet redeem their short. comings; if not, they may rest assured that any Government who conclude a peace, before Sebastopol has been wrested from Russia and dismantled, may make up tfieir minds to undergo the heaviest penalties an indignant nation can inflict upon them. APPEAL OF THE HOLY SYNOD TO THE RUSSIAN NATION. The following is the appeal noticed yesterday in The Sun as having been iesued by the Ecclesiastical Synod styling itself "Thrice Holy," and which is directed Ly an aide-de-camp of the Russian Emperor. The appeal was published ten days since at St. Petersburg, and is to be placed, therefore, to the account of the new go vernment : In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen. Through the grace, gift, and power communicated by the supreme head, our Lord and God Jesus Christ the thrice Holy Synod of all the Itussias appeals to the faithful and pious chil dren of the Russian orthodox church. May the Lord of the Church, our Saviour Jesus Christ, and the spirit of grace that dwells in it, the distributor of the spirit, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named (Ephes. iii., 15), God glorified in the Holy Trinity, bless you, well-belovd children of the church, - for your holy and pious sentiments of religious z*l, for your devotion to the throne of the Czars, and foryour love of our orthodox native country, sentiments that you have manifested on all occasions during the present contest. He will remember all your sacrifices for religion, the throne, and the country. (Psalm xx., 3.) You know how unjust is this war waged against your coun try, because the great Czar and Emperor Nicholas Pavlovitch, of happy, worthy, glorious, and eternal memory, in the name of his sacred duty as defender of orthodoxy, required of the Ottoman Porte to re-establish the abused rights of the holy orthodox Eastern church, and to deliver our co-religionists from their terrible sufferings. You know also that, to the astonishment of all, the enemies of the er,ss of Christ found a support from the two Western Powers, who, assuming the name of Christians, and having been in no respect offended by Russia, have with rage brought fire and sword to its territory. Their legions, like those of infidels, have insulted the sacred things of our religion. It was Holy Saturday, and those most sacred hours, con secrated to prayers on the sepulchre itself of the Lord, which they selected for attacking Odessa—that city defended by God. Again they rushed like sacrilegious wretches against the peaceful convent of Solovetzk. They demolished' the tem ples of God situated defenceless on the coast. They have not been ashamed to pillage and destroy the property of unfor tunate unarmed inhabitants. . But, by the will of God, tho great and strong defender of truth and justice, the crimes of our enemies have not profited them ; and iu their frequent reverses, in the terrible tempests of the Black Sea which haye engulphed their vessels, in the mortal maladies that have decimated their armies, the action of the puissant hand of the Lord fighting for us has been visible. Notwithstanding all this the enemies, irritated by the loss of their armies, are collecting others more formidable ; they seek to extend their unjust alliance, and are preparing them selves for fresh hostilities against the Russian territory. The safety of Russia requires her to augment her defence by means of a temporary _levy en rnasse. By the month of the Lord's anointed, now dwelling in celestial light, God has called our country to fresh sacrifices,to new struggles. Russia has not provoked the contest, she was called to it. Let the Lord's will be done I God is against the aggressor t We hope and believe that be who said, " I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall nob-prevail against it'' (Matt. xvi. IS), is now fighting. for his holZ church ; he will defend and save it. We hope and believe that He, in whose hand is the heart of kings. (Proverbs xxi. 1) will himself guide, for the good of his church, the heart of the pious autocrat, our Czar and Emperor of all the Russias, Alexander, Nicolaievitch, that He will lend him his succour, that He will defend him and bless his undertakings. Wo hope and believe that He who fixes the bounds of earthly kingdoms, and who has chosen the empire of Russia for establishing in it the 'centre of His church, will pro nounce His judgment against all them that lay their hands on his inheritance. (Jerem. xii. 14.) Full of this faith and hope, dearly beloved children of the church and -the country, hasten to execute your present, your sacred mission. Be not terrified on account of your enemies ; remember your Lord, who is great and terrible ; with the faith you have in Him, arm and fight for your brethren. (Nehem. iv. 14.) " Urged on by cupidity, they will invade your dwellings, but we arm to save our souls and our laws, and the Lord himself will scatter their forces before you." (Matthew iii, 24, 22.) Our God will fight for us" (Nehem. iv., 20) within the limits even of our own country. Orthodox Russians, the church is menaced with sacrilegious deeds on the part of our enemies. So long as a breath of life shall remain to you, you will not allow the mother of your souls, the pledge of your salvation, theguarcliau of your religion, of that religion which alone can save, and without which no one will see the divine kingdom, to be insulted. Your ancestors, commanded by Prince Demetrius Donskol, of glorious memory, watered with their blood the land of Russia, wrested From a foreign yoke • under the ordefs of Mininn and Pojarski„ they saved our holy religion and legitimate throne ; your fathers, led by Alexander the Well• Beloved, defended their cotratry against innumerable foreign forces. Now that a similar act presents itself to you, you will not fail to show yourselves worthy of your ancestors and fathers. It is in you, men of the nobility, it is in the subthre expres sion of your sentiments before the monarch—it is in your solemn vows t) offer up as sacrifices to God, the Czar, and the country, all your property, and even your lives, that we see with joy the sempiternal spirit of the old orthodox Rus sian nobility. May the blessing of the Most High permit you to fulfil your duty, and may your new exploqs at the head of the Russian army testify, in the sight of the nations, that the spirit of Pojarski is your hereditary quality. It 'is in you, citizen class, devoted from time httmemorial to religion and the Czar, and always ready to make sacrifices in behalf of the country, that the spirit of Minima reisides, the spirit of strength and zeal, according to the law of our fore fathers in the holy cause of God. Inhabitants of the plains and hamlets, you who a - re arming for the defence of the church; the throne, and our native land, oppose to those impious legions your powerfid Russian breasts, in which beat hearts devoted to the faith of your ancestors, and the orthodox autocrat But, while'preparng for the combat, put above all things your trust in' G'od, who gives invincible strength to those who execute his =will, and remember that hat most terrifies our enemies is your holy religion, your pure conscience, your obedience to the supreme authority as to God himself, to your masters and chiefs as if they were your fat&rs. It is in that obedience, so agree. able to God, that all the strength of the RUssian Empire Fathers and mothers, you have before your eyes a sub lime example in the august imperial family. ' The Grand Dukes, blessed by their august parents, hastened to repair to the field of battle for your personal defence, for the de fence of your religion and families. Is it for you to hesi tate now in sending your children at the demand of the Czar ? Lead them thither yourselves. Say to them Children, place yourselves there for the defence of our pommon mother, the divine church ; and for our foster mother, the Russian soil ; your parents hero below bless you, and the church will pray for you. Our heavenly Father Himself will give you a supernatural strength for accomplishing your holy mission." Pastors of souls, spiritual fathers of the defenders of the church and the throne, by your prayers and supplications at all times (Eph. vi. 18), watch . sedulously over your flocks ; strergthen them by the omnipotence of the divine w or d ; inspire them with the conviction that the pr esen t war is an a ncient war against the Prince of Darkness, th e sp i r i t whieb s till worketh on the children of disobedience. (Eph. 22.) In girding on the armour of God, according t o th e words of the apostle, gird up equally the souls Co n fid e d to your care with the strength, faith, and hope in th e mercy of the Lord. Orthodox Russians, we call down on all of you on this solemn occasion, well pleasing to cl o d, the blessing of the God of the strong, the protection of the Quern of Heaven, and the support of all the saints, our intercessors with God. Deign, oh, Almighty God ! to cast a look of compassion on the well-beloved children of the church. To Thee they lift up their souls and hearts, and from Thee alone they ex pect their sa l va tion. T a ke under Thy p ro t ection the most our Czar and Emperor o f a ll the Hussies, pious autocrat, - Alexander yieolaievitch ; imbue him with Thy force, glory, and honer: cro wn with success b o th hi m and his Christian arraio . Behold, Lord, the sincere sacrifices offered up to , n ,„ by the children of Thy church, who aro ready to die for the glorifying of Thy holy name ; cover with Thy Pro tection the defenders of the Holy Religion ; receive them from the field of battle into Thy eternal kingdom, and admit them loth the number of the blessed martyrs ! Deign, lastly, to grant safety to the Russian empire, that' has always remained faithful to Thee, and grant it Thy assistance and grace. May the orthodox church and all its children join us in our prayers, and repeat with us with their mouths and hearts : "In Thee, 0 Lord, have I trusted, let me never be con founded."
