Yz.t (!), • fffc.Z 1 \ 4y, LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1856. This deplorable, because at once futile and san guinary, War, has been the touchstone of almost all,our great public reputations. It has been the test of patriotism, and the criterion of ability: And how. many of these reputationi—military, maritime, diplomatic, ad:ninistrative— having been weighed in the balance, have been found wanting? Rather, we should say, pet haps, how many haie not ? Hoer many " shining lights "' before the struggle commenced with the crossing of the Pruth by tile Russians, and the mustering of the Allies -at Varna, how many who were " shining lights " before then, have net (since those incidents transpired) paled in the glare of this grand.

Scarcely half-a-dozen we s•ty altogether. • Why, those great reputations almost at the first blast of the war-trumpet went down like a pack of cards built up only to be tumbled into ruins at a whiff! oral avibration! The L ondon Gazette had scarcely given the official *announcement of this righteous War against Russia having commenced, when— just to begin with-Lthe boasted ABERDEEN Coalition, the - Ministrr- of All the Talents;- the Cabinet containing within it the creme de la erbne.of living A:dreinistrators, suddenly.eollaiKd —collapsed shamefully, instantaneously, ignomi niously..

Lord ABERDEEN ,was—beyond all doubt--with a bee his bonnet.. And after hi m —with the,"double-prongs of a' curiously peinted cap buddinf, th-hi s coronet, the ye yet of coronet, and sundry strange bells tinkling among hia:straWberry' leVes-7—went the lAckless Duke of 14,tife,tsTriE -!

I Scarcely had these three u-nfortunates gone to the wall--quite calmly and unconsciously, and, as it were, comfortably arin in-arm—when down came tumbling from .the tbp of it, periluusli'', 'irretrievably, - that wonderful diplomatic Humpty-Durupty, my Lord' JOLTY RUSSELL ! And "0, what a - fall W 46 Owe; my countrymen _ Insomuch that since, the time of that very mem ora bl e casualty, " all the QUtEN'S hones," howevei delicately cream-coloured, or richly capariso;sed, and "all the QUEEN'S men," both in the House and out of it, have failed to set him up again on what was supposed, until so very recently, to be his pre scriptive post of elevation. So l—akeady then, we have enumerated among the overturned Big wigs of the Peers and Commons, such great-grand Lord-nigh-Everythings as the Earl of ABERDEEN, and the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and my Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and Mr. HER BERT, and Mr. GLADSTONE ! Besides whom— below the gangway—have we not seen " falling, falling, falling, falling, falling from their high estate," such leaders of the people—leaslers of the people, now, no more—as Mr. JOHN BRIGHT and Mr. RICHA RD COBDEN; the Political Bagman and the Belligerent Peacemonger ? Enough, and to spare, we conjecture—for this one while at least—as to the fading out of so many of the big,- flaring, sputtering Lights of the Age, who have thus died away abruptly with " a melodious twang," like the amiable ghosts, who were wont, in the good old times, so to vanish " out of all knowledge"— luddenly—into a mouldy wainscot ! The all-important question of the currency was brought forward last night in the House of Lords by the EArl of EaLrsToN in a very temperate and able speech. The chief object of the Noble Earl was to elicit the views and intentions of the Go vernment on the interesting topic, and to spacer- taro whether any move was in contemplation, and in what direction it would probably . lie Made. Some little information was obtained, but, we re gret to say, of a .very _unsatisfactory character, merely tending to show that it was the intention of Ministers to shelve the entire question for an indefinite period, or, as the Duke of ARGYLL ad mitted, "to tide it over" sine die. They thought an inquiry into the operation highly desirable " at the proper time and in the proper mode," and *would await the result of such investigatien,be fore any revision was attempted in the present arrangements. , But no intimation was given as to the time for that • inquiry ; and it is manifest that unless there be a very considerable pressure from without, nothing will be done during- the present session, and that the country will be com pelled to endure unnecessarily for an addi tional year, the incubus that has so long paralysed its industrial energies, and ren dered its legitimate trade and commerce little better than gambling speculation—not depending on sound calculation and prudent caution, but on blind chance, in matters over which the parties can exercise no possible control, and wherein they have no data to direct th s eir course. Although we do not agree with all the conclu sions arrived at by Lord EGLLNTON, it is impos sible to deny the accuracy of his statements, or that he fully and clearly established the only point for which he at present contended—viz., the propriety, nay, more, the imperative necessity, for immediate anel stringent inquiry into all the ramifications of the subject. That is re quired on every side, by bullionists and anti bullionists, by the most strenuous advocates of monetary restriction, and the supporters of free trade in mOney, by those Who . desife a the, pet 13aanency.of the monopoly so unwisely granted- to the Bank of England, and others who "Wish fer a really national bank, the obligations whereof, in notes of convenient denominations, should be the only legal-- tender throughout the length and breadth of the land. All concur' in 'thg opitAion expr.eased in the Times of tha 26th of Qztober toot; to which we hive repeatedly referred ; ," that a ia-diseussien of the whole question, in Parljar ment cannot be arranged too soon." The Govern- Ment stand alone in trying to evade tie omoi deration of the matter, and even Lord GREY, an ardent disciple of the JONES LOYD school, who only thought-the act imperfect "because it did not carry to their full extent the principles on which it was founded," was "quite at a loss to understand the line now taken by. her MAJESTY'S , ~ Government." The community at large will participate in the astonishment of the Noble Earl, and will, we trust, be prepered to supply the necessary stimulus to-induce it to enter on a more creditable and politic course. But why should there be any pretext for post poning the investigation ? The continuance of the War was urged as au excuse for avoiding that, as well as every other question that could by any possibility embarrass the Govern ment or disturb its attention from what was par exc?llence the topic of the day— the vigorou3 and energetic waging of the con flict in which we were engaged, until the pride of Russia had been humiliated, and her, power re duced to dimensions consistent with the security and well-being of Europe, But that pretex, which we have already proved to be futile and unavailing, no longer exists. If we are to suffer the evils of an improvident and impolitic peace, there is certainly no reason why we Should at the same time endure a grievance to which only war could reconcile the nation. Our Government . must •not at the same tune " blow hot and cold,", and require the country to submit to sacrifieee, only tolerable from a strong and.overwhelming sense of duty, when it has damped its ardour by accepting terms and conditions wholly inadeqaate, and far - beneath what it had the power to - enforce and, the right to expect. ` Among other matters touched on by Lord r . EGLIN TO:li t in . hii'very clear and, able Speech ,was.. the- absurd prohibition of 11 notes, which saved the credit of the Bmill of England, and indee4l of the country, in 1825, and, against -which no reasonableobjection has ever been preferred. It requires not the examples of Scotland and Ireland to shbve thlt'tVgiii - neSittless rags are invariably preferred to gold Wherever there is a joint circu lation. There never was any feeling of distrust against these notes .in'England. AS' terd Asir :: BtfltrOX declared, "their credit for all 'doniestie purposes waaperfect." They never were resorted to for any political purposes, and however much the people might'be Misled in other respects, they are'far too wise to quarrel with their bread > and butter, or to make an onslaught on that which in sured the working operative that great desideratum, " fait day's wages for a fair day's work." The .. . ? people of .Ir e l an d are not Jess, excitable, or _less in:dined- to act on impulse, than their English , brethren, ,cud. yet there was no example even in their' pals?: d a y s e ef ag i tation of a -political run .for gold, or 4 iiik" the - slightest inconvenience arising from the smaller` denominations of notes.. . The liability to forgeryis another tong - bear' that ha should long sinceve - dispelled from been tical experienee. There can be _nO. town why 11 notes should be more , liable to-forgery than those for 51. The crime, so far as Bank pap er ;i s concerned, is almost unknown in either of the sister kingdoms, and, indeed, there is far greater probability of the circulation o: base coin than o f spurious paper. In fact, while the former is rot ' dared every day more threatening from the iin provementa in electrotyping, be., the latter be °°rneli almost impossible, if ordinary care be exerted in .getting up the bank note. Let the monetary reformers, then, exert them-, Selves in earnest, and the evil will speedily be redressed. . Let them, as we have already atited l . gin , this 111-importaut point " a lops pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," and they will speedily place the welfare and prosperity of the nation on a firm and enduring bases. Lord LUCAN seems to labour wader an errone ous impression with regard to the Crimean Com missioners. With whatever expectations in cer tain quarters they were sent out, their mission was neither to exculpate nor inculpate him and his fellows in error or misfortune—but to ascer- tain on what foundations the charges preferred against him and them rested—to get at the truth; so far as they were a,ble, and report i,ecordingly. It may be, and doubtless is, unpleasant to be in culpated by their Report, but as yet the public, have no reason to believe that that Report is otherwise than honest ; And it would, therefore, be wiser in the Earl to confute, if he is able, the allegations on which it is based, rather than throw out insinuations of foul play against them, which no one will believe save on the evidence of sub- staitive facts. The allegations on which their conclusions rare based may •be false, but that is no reason why their integrity should be ques tioned. , They have given that evidence, the questions asked and answers returned, with the names of the witnesses to the public, and it is for the Earl to show that that evidence is fake, for there can. hardly be two opinions as to the fairness of the conclusions the Cora missioners have drawn from it. Take, for, instance, 'the hutting of the horses, to which the'Earl more particularly addressed himself yes terday. He is charged with neglecting to provide cover for the horses in proper time, the result of which was the loss of by far the greater portion of them, and much needless suffering and mortality in the army—in other words, with not having caused the hutting to be commenced before the end of January or the beginning of February, nor to be completed before the middle of March, when it was of ~little use. Is there no evidence fairly to countenance this charge ? We say nothing as to its quality. Undoubtedly there is. There is the evidence of several Commanding Officers of regiments. The Commander of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade informed the Commissioners that the first lot of horses was got under cover, he thought, about the end of January. Colonel DOHERTY, commanding the 13th Light Dragoons, stated that "we commenced. butting the horses on the 26th of January, and completed it on the 22d of February." Colonel DAREPGRIFFITHS, command ing the Scots Greys, contrived, it is true, to get some of his, horses under cover at an earlier period ; but that was by employing five French soldiers, at his private expense, in hutting. What did he say? Why, that he entertained apprehensions se early as November Of what actually occurred, if something was not done to protect the horses ; And, on suggesting the propriety of that some thing being done to Lord LucaN, was threatened with arrest. Ts 'there not here presumptive proof of the fair dealing of the Commissioners ? We should. like to have seen a little less disposi tion to insinuation and mere quibbling in the Earl's attempted defence. If the charges pre famed against him are false, he would lose nothing by a More . 'frank, seldierly explanation.. Why should he be so anxious to have his case considered and decided upon apart from the others? A civilian would think his innocence—it innocent he is—Would only be rendered more palpable the better the opportunity given him to Titylielte it. Bet, proceeding witlithe Es:rl's defence—it •seenm ratheoM,ier.hini to object toga comparison be: tween the losses of. , the Commissariat ":and the losses of the cavalry, because .of the greater, ex posure, of •the cavalry horses, when the charge against hint iq that he neglected to provide against . that exposure. It certainly was creditable to him that he saved the mules to which he refers ; but what bad that to .do with the loss of the horses?. , We like better his cenfessien that "the construe, tion of stabling of .that sort was novol to Liar," whatever we may think of his opinion ti-4# every: body else conneetc4.with the aavalry was equally ignorant. But why threaten Colonel' GRIFIPITIM in. November with arrest for daring to suggest to ‘" him" the propriety of setting about huttisg?' That certainly does not warrant the suPposition that his Lordship's ignorance was of a oonvertiVe nature, nor tend to suggest any anxiety for the fate of the horses on his part. His Lordship, it is true, alloges that . the Heavy Brigade was shifted, about from day to day in opposition to his remon strances, but he adduces no proof of this important, statement. He Will do well to do so. As for. the alleged period of hutting, Major SuurE's ordt r of iho 29th of January; written under Lord LUCAN'S directions, - that when an hospital but has been erected for, each regiment, "-the whole,atten tion of. commanding officers may be devoted to the drawing of timber. for. completing the hutting of hOrses," certainly goes to corroborate the state went of the Co;niiiiWPtiers. Let Lord LucA,N look to it, that he employ the opportunity afforded. him for defticioVith . disc'retion. The public Want justice, neither more uar less, and will have it, so far as they arc able.

(From th,e Times of this day.) It is but natOral that those evils in the state of Italy to which ive havei 'called attention should in. terest the Italian Power which has not -long ceased to auffer from many Of them. The King of Sardinia, 'hefore - he entered on a war, with Russia, had fought- a long-laattleiwith foes nearer home. The domination of" =A Istria and the privileges of the priesthood weretlearly:seen to be the chief ina. , pedimentstioiosperity both in Piedmont and the `States of the peninSula. 13y a course of policy_both old and cautious the Sardinian statesmen freed their country from these obstacles. They, have given their SoVereign the right to speak in the name of the whole Italian rate, and have insured him allies who will listen with the fullest. sympathy to his remonstrances. We have heard with great plea sure, therefore, that the state of Italy has been formally brought liefore the Conferences by the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries. To • a reported ex clamation of the French Emperor, of " What can. 'one do for Italy r Count Cavour has answered by a memorial which states the principal grievancels of Italy in general; as_ well as of the individual 'States. The Milanese and Venetian territories, the Papal States, the kingdom of Naples, all suffer from different forms of the same- malady. Despotic go vernment and priestly interference ruin and taint ,everything from the Alps tolSicily. No iniprove :eient has taken place during long years, of peace ; "on the contrary, the Governments are every day be coming more narrow in their principles, more rigid in their dispipline,,.more relentless in their resent nents. The Sardinian statesmen have there fore felt tb - at.' the time has come when the whole matter shouldC be d-Ncussed and a remedy applied. No-one can believe that the present state of things is permanent"; and, if reforms be not adopted, there can be no alternative hut fresh convulsions, succeeded by even more grinding tyranny. • Con ,fident in her pOsition, Sardinia has resolved to speak out, an= it is difficult to form too high a no 'tion of the holdneig wh:chanimates the State papers put forth by lie 4• Plenipotentiaries. Certainly neither the statesmen of liberal England nor demp ()ratio France have ever inveighed in such .plain . `t e rms against the corruptions of any foreign Go 'vernment. Thingaare indeed called by their right names in the Sardinian ,memorials, which,: if re sponded to by the allies; must be the commence spent of a new period in ; Italian history. Taking it for granted that there must be for a low time to come'a struggle between the Liberal and. Absolutist ,principles in Europe, S.4rdinia is anxious to range herself and her, sister States on the side of freedom, as represented by France and ..• England. Austria she Considers 'as only tem porarily and by: chance the opponent of the Czar. The Emperor olitiany disjointed proVincesand: dis • cordant nationalities: can only rule 'by Oie full Supremacy of the,autocratic principle, and by that, Cunning refiuernent of it which is expressed: in they maxim, "Divide and govern." The SardinianS. therefore belieVe that the Western'Powers will db:- well to encourage such an amount o,f national in dependence and - , political liberty in Italy as will; unite in some degree the. various States,- and place: theth for the future on the same side which •Sar-- dinia has taken in the late conflict. The Matters brought before the Conferencearelate to Oprytth.ril Of Italy, but the chief importance is ,given. to the deplorable condition of .the —Papal territories. , Nothing that a Protestant Assembly in Edinburgh, or Belfast could say of the government of Pone Pius IX. would go beyond the diplomatic repro ,sentations which,. A Catholic and Italian State . now makes solemnly in - the presence of Europe, It is urged that the' temporal supremacy of the priesthood is au evil which human nature can no longer ~bear that'''eVen the govern.„ inent of the sk , rd is better, than the` . goVern- - ment of the surplice.; that the ecelesiaaficaf ruler of 3,000;000 of- Italians is only kept . on, his, :throne by foreign troops, and - •would: again be :driven forth if tis subjects were Teleased for a week from foreign repression,: The character of the priesthood is-..spokcia of in severe language, and i!',Fl incapacity forits high functions boldly declared., ,Then comes thepractical part of the matter. ,The allies are invited to deliberate on the reconstrUc tiori of the Roman G-overnment. Sardinia 'totally : repudiates the position that temperal . power ,ceseary for the Pope so that he may fully exert' cise his spiritual authority. She-considers that hil• 'functions naiglit_be wisely restrained to ecclesias tical matters,,.ori:if . hiS'rights as a temporal Sove 6 reign be deemed inalienabh i it might be insisted.' itlia 'he should entirely distinguish between his duties as head of the Church and his, duties as an 'ltalian Sovereign ; and that,- while ecclesiastical . posts are held by Cardinals and Bishops, all that ,concerns the 'population Whieli` is subject to him : should be committed to responsible' Ministers; jebosen from the laity, under the safeguard of new and salutary * laws. While Rome is held r .by French troops the Lega- , Lions are under 'the control of an Austrian General. This section of, the Pool territory formed part of the kingdom of Italy, and at the ,downfall of Napo- Aeon received With reluctance the old system. As the people are bitterly opposed to the Papal sway,: which has condemned Jhern to years of foreign occupation, Sardinia preposea' tliat they should b 4 at once released.frorn it; and dissovered froth the 'States of the Church. The territory, o constituted should be placeid under the government either of i!an hereditary abuse or a Viceroy nominally depen dent on the ?oVe, but.app2inted under conditions sanctioned by the allies. 'Atistrian, soCeppation should be strictti prohibited, the Co,cle. Ndpe,/eeii introduced with such., modifications as. might be necessary, and ;the administration- by the clergy entirely abolisod. These measures Sardinia: 'con siders of the higtiest iniportance and, necessary for the peace of Italy. With respect . to Naples the Plenipotentiaries are very outgpOken. They look on-the state ofithat ' kingdom as a disgrace to the Italian name and suggest the intervention of the allieS, and the es tablishment of guarkitees for, a, just' adnainis tration. The case of ' Poerio is, alluded .to by name, and he, is declared to be the victim of a -Government which seeks to crush-all that is= noble and healthy: in Italy. When Sardinia comes to speak of the direct ,Austrian dominion it is,' of course, necessary 'to proceed with caution. The Plenipotentiaries state that circumstances will not allow them to discuss the separation ofLoinbardy and Venice: from the Austrian empire. :Any change in this direction must arise from the even tualities of the future.. However, they assert that these provineeS'forin part;: of Italy; and are jus parably Anited. - - with their own ,country and the rest of the Peninsula.

LIT ER A T URE. Things not Generally Known. By John Timbs, - . Bogue, Fleet-street. This is,a,very7 entertaiping : and useful volume, taking its place among the cleverly-conipiled books which stimulate the mind of the comparatively un informed, and refresh the memory of those who have learnt so much that they have forgotten great partof their acquirements. It givis laconic and clear information on five hundred various subjects of remote curiosity and universal interest. It en- ' deavours to explain to Mrs. John Bull the com plicated items of that frightfully heavy housekeep ing bill of hers, the , national debt ; and it relates to Master John Bull. the full and particular ac count of his " horn book." It enlightens regarding -the sun, moon, and stars of the "solar system," and tells „:us the origin cf those three 'ominous planets of the paWnbroker's system. We glean front it something about the delicate cc. maids of hon Our" which we; devour at Richmond, and the acrobatic " pancakes" which we permit to leap intnour mouths ert Shrove Tuesday. It gives the origin of "cant,": which, in our obstinate igno ramie, we conceive to be of much older date than is here stated. It ihas something to say about the " woolsack" in / the House ,of Lords, and• might havO said mufhTitOre had it 'diverged into any in telligence respecting the ivoolgatherers hovering about it. It discourses of the " circulation of the blood" and of "bank notes"—a synonymous pro cess with many .of: us. It mentions the " variety of hiswks" a 9.0 elealsr , with the " origin of solici tors." • Altogether, the work is well worth its cost, and we would have it lying on every table where intel lectual and scientific gossip is preferred to frivolous vapidity or taciturn dulness. --- The Martins. _XV.'

The grand naval review and sham fight at Spithead has been postponed for a week, in order to allow time for the arrival of even a larger number of first-class ves sels. The day is not yet positively fixed, but we believe we may state with confidence that the 231 or 24th instant will be decided upon, PORTSMOUTH, Arm 7. A grand naval promenade, preparatory to the coming naval review, by her Majesty, the Houses of Parlia ment, &c., has taken place to-day. This has been done . by 11. of the screw line-of battle ships, and 17 screw and paddle-frigates and sloops, which we yesterday reported as being at Spithead, together with a number of attend ant smaller vessels- -such as the Black Eagle, Yiri4s ,Fire Queen, and Lightning. The Senior Sea Lord of the Admiralty, Rear-Admit.* the Right Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., ' arrived at this port yesterday afternoon, in ord er t o Witness the proceedings of the day. He went to the dockyard and viewed the scene of the steam-boiler explosion of Sa turday evening, the particulars of which calamity we reported yesterday. At eight o'clock this morning the ships at Spithead, crossed topgallant and royal yards, uninoorecl ship, and lighted fires, and at nine o'clock they were prepared t ' weigh. At about a quer ter to ten, Admiral Berkeley went out in the Admiralty yacht Black. Eagle tq-Spithead, the Commander-in-Chief going in the Fire Queen. The latter, after . a short visit to Admiral Dundas's flag-ship, the Diike of Wel lington; proceeded on board the. Arrogant, 46, screw frigate, Captain Lyster, Sir George's flag, red at the fore, being hoisted there, and at the same time struck on board the victory. Th 6 gun-boat divisional ships Colossus, Sanspareil, and Brunswick, screw two-deckers, th e Belleisle, hos pital-ship, and the Meander, 46, sailing-frigate, took no part in the proceedings of the day. At hatf-past 10 the ships of the line were ordered to weigh, leaving the steam-frigates and sloops 'at an chor until such time as the liners should have cleared the anchorage. The latter went away in two divi- - -ions, one headed by the Duke of Wellington, and the other bj the Royal George 102 ; 'the whole pre- . ceded by the Arrogant and Black Eagle. At-half-past 11, the frigates and sloops went away in obedience to signal, headed by the Retribution, flag-ship of Rear- Admiral Baynes. The order of sailing was in two , lines or divisions, the spectacle being very magnificent. ' The course was beyond the Nab light-ship to .a di`• lance of about 10 miles. Th e s hip s were out o f sight but for a very short time. At about half-past one the fleet came in sight again, the Duke leading the port division, and the Royal George the starboari ; these ships being abreast. The ships returned in the order in which they went away, the first ships of the two lines being : Port Division. Starboard Division. Duke of Wellington ...131 I 'Royal George 102 Orion James Watt Vogue 6O I Edinburgh And then the other line-of-battle ships, kigates, ft'• The Commander-in-Chief in the Arrogant took his station in the centre of the two lines, and as the fleet approached Spithead on their return, he steamed between r.he two divisions in most beautiful style, and led them up. The spectacle, at this moment was really sPlendids ' the great ships and the small ones keeping their stations in their divisions with as much precision as could the troopers in a squadron of cavalry, the effect being height- , ened by, the gay colours of flags of the signals hoisted, oy the Arrogant in'ieferen ce t o th e or d er o f th e s hip s anchoring, &c:, and which signals were repeated by the Duke, Royal George, and Retribution. Steam was the moving power of theileet,,although one or two of the elder built ships had to borrow the aid of their canvas ." to'enable them to keep their places. The part the gun-boats took in the display. was minor one as compared to what they are intended to ake at the review iteelf. Two divisions of them steamed after the fleet, a part of the way, and the other two diii- "." sions went to the westward, being exercised in sailing in ,f line, &c.. . 1 • The first return of the advanced Baltic squadron hss taken place to-day in the arrival at Spithead of the: Ca3sar, 91, screw, Captain Robb, which came up as the fleet was making up for the anchorage.

Our Paris correspondent yesterday quoted a veryfair ketch of the terms of the treaty of peace from th e pinione of Turin. The number of armed vessels wbic Rtissia and Turkey are to bare in the Plack'Sse for Oft o' purpose of 'police and defence of the coastsis'ilot to es .ceed ten for each Power. (rile number was accidents if omitted in tout...impression of yesterday.) • - • . The statement, we have every reason to believe, quite correct. Turkey, of course, may have as largo _ ll ' fleet as she chooses in the Sea of Marmora and the wate r " of Constantinople, and may exercise it in the Mediter renew). It is obvious that ten vessels for each State the minimum number of ships required in a sea of tbs. ' magnitude of the Euxine t 3 prevent its coast becomiog the refuge of pirates, and to secure the safety of the commerce of all nations in its -waters. The presence of the Consuls of England and other- Powers in the ports of Russia will be the best gnariv .5 tee that this slight armament will not be exceeded.'"
