iVION E 'MARKET •_7707-1.1:-:-....c - c7.;,-... k4,`;l`•?l' ! - Two The Liverpool Cotton- Market yesterday closed with a hardening tendency, and prices . of Arne ric•ans were rather dearer. The sales amounted to 7 ,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export. The Railway Share Market opened quietly, but s etbsequently improved, and closed with a steady aepect. The trade report from Paris for the past week states that the facility with which the plyments telling due on the 31st October were met has coin reetely re-established the general situation of com ierce, and dissipalod all apprehensions of further embarrassment at the close of the year. This ft vourable change in the e state of trade is chiefly °wing to the p ru d ence exercised by traders in l imiting their pur c ha s es to the current sales of the 4 -a3r. The principal transactions, since the mone tary crisis in August, having been effected with "ash has also lessened the amount of engagements glue at the Gloss of December. The increase in the • acc ounts current of the Bank is said not to be owing to the ordinary operations of commerce, but to the extensive purchases of the precioui metals, and the speculations in wheat and raw ma aerials for manufactures, such as silk and cotton. ['he retail trade is very quiet, although the cold ti reather has set in early, and the demand for winter nods is expected to give an impetus to business for 111 3rtle weeks. - The manufactures are also dull, and t he number of foreign orders very limited, in con e 3 quence of the monetary crisis, while very few leirchasers from the country are in town. There es been a further decline in the prices of wheat el Airing the week of about 50 centimes per hecto li tre in the principal markets. At the half -yearly meeting, this morning, of the. :6. areibre and Meuse Railway Company--e-Mr. :A icharcli; in the chair--••• 1, repot wets read, which se, towed an improvement in the traffic of the half 3^t 'ar and a diminution in the expenditure. The re t ceipts were 30 57591, for tee : , a,lf-year, and the )a lance in hand 1 -54221. The report ee ls a d op t e d . The A.7on, from the Brazils and River Plate, ba 3 arrived. She brings about 2,0001. iu specie. The dollars brought by the last Mexican steamer, f ile Par ana, have been purchased ' at ss. 21d., bei ng an advance of ed. - per ounce, owing to the Wive demand which, prevails for this metal. I n the general condition of the Money Market rl fi e chan ge o f i mportance can be reported. • e I pressure continues, bat there is no :retteitenlent, and the demand, though active, is 2 :eady. On Friday next the monthly return of " /18 Bank of France, which is looked for with some 5 il i l . l id a jeteT, will b e pu bli s h e d , and it is thought it will ii l3 ve a fu r th er deficit in the bullion. If this is so, s is probable that gold remittances will continue I C' be made from this country, and the arrival of ' T a " mes Baines, a nd o th er A us t ra li an ships, .;.' Q speci e , w i ll therefore be of great importance, r i e ganee, if they do not occasion an increase in the !t . 7 . eek of bullion in Threadneedle-street, they will e 'Eat all events prove ample to satisfy the immediate "11)(41 inquiry.

TO THE EDITOP. OF THE SUN. SlB, —Observing that reference is again made in yot.:r columns to the proceeding's of the official manager, I feel that longer silence on my part would be kjurious to the interests I represent ; and, although I would gladly have abstained from c iniment until the decisi.iti of the Vice. Chancellor has been pronounced, I find that such an unfair use is made of the delay that I no longer hesitate to trouble you. On the 9th of October the Royal British Bank was adjudged bankrupt, and the official manager well knew that the . assi ti ;nees would claim title to all the property of the bank. The adjudication was disputed by some of the direc tors with the sanction of the Chief Clerk of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor K'ndersley, who does'not appear to have been consulted upon the subject, and I have the authority of eminent counsel for saying that the Chief Clerk ought not to have given such sanction. The only per-on who would have been benefited by successfully di , puting the adjudication was the official manager, and it was et his instance, therefore, tha, it was opposed. The publie are alreaay acquainted with the able jude• ment of the two learned commissioners (Mr. Holroyd and Mr. Sergeant Goulburn), confirming the adjudica tion. Tnere has been no appeal from that j idgment ; and, indeed, Mr. Reed, the solicitor of Mr. Alderman Kennedy and Mr. Valiant, stated 'publicly at the choice of assignees that his clients were anxious to main tain the bankruptcy, as being the most beneficial not only for the crejitors, but also for the shareholders. Numerous other ahar e holders are also in favour of that course. At whose instance, then, is the pending litigation, and who is it that is causing a waste of the assets of the bank ? I answer—the official manager alone. The ad judication having been confirmed,' it was the duty of the official manager to submit. One word upon the relative advantage of bankruptcy. Under the winding -tip a race is going on on the part of some of the creditors, anti already numerous actions have been commenced against the official manager, and runny others will be brought. Judgments have been obtained against the official manager, and are registered. Each judgment creditor must therefore be gaid first, and no title can be made to, the property of the bank until the judgments are satis fied. Each judgment creditor may aim; take in execu tion the assets of the bank in the hands of the official manager, and may attach the debts due to the bank from its numerous debtors; so that under the winding-up the creditors who can best afford to wait will be paid first, while the suffering thousands who have no money to spend in law will have to wait until the c)mplicated questions between the shareholders are settled, which may be somewhere about the year 1860. It is, therefore, an idle mockery to hold out the pros pect of equal or early distribution under the winding-up. Then, again, under the widding-up the creditors, having piecemeal seized and exhausted the assets of the estate, may issue execution against any shareholder, al th ugh those who may be selected are the very mere most willing to pay their fair proportion. All those disad vantages vanish under bankruptcy, which provides for the equal distribution of property among all the credi tors. So that, the asses being speedily realised anc: distributed, it would only remain for ,a receiver to be appointed by the Court ox Chancery, as required by the Act of Parliament, to collect and enforce contribution from the shareholders, whose rights might be settled among themselves, and who would be entitled to the protection of the Court against the proceedings of indi• vidual creditors so long as they were willing to deal justly. Then, again, in bankruptcy the expense would be considerably ress than under the winding up, as it is well known that in the single item of the reteuneratiori to tile • official manager, as compared with that of the official assignee, there would be a saving of several thou seed pounds under bankruptcy. It is a fallacy to sup pose that there would be a double expense. The committee of depositors have from the commence. meat been unanimous .in favour of the bankruptcy, being convinced that it is for the mutual advantage of creditors end shareholders. I may conclude by repeat ing the words of the learned commissioner, Mr. Sergeant Goulburn, in delivering judgment, who said—" I would express My earnest wish. that all parties would give their best attention to all that has fallen from my learned brother, because I am persuaded that if they do so calmly and dispassionately they can but arrive at one conclusion—that is, 01;4 the present course of proceed ings is one in all respects most beneficial to the creditors, and that it, ought to to sustained for toe benefit of al parties." Tru-ting that the suf f erings of many destitute and lin poverzwhed depositor.; in the British Bank may be my .ipology for intrud ng at this length on your valuat•le space,—l have the honour t) be, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES WYLD, Chairman of the Committee of Depositors. Charing-crosa East, Nov. 10. SIR .70..7N FRANKLIN. AI7TOGRAPH LETTER OF THE EMPRESS EaJGENIE. M. do la, R , ,quettu, one of the distinguished men whose exact, yet elega,:lt, eruditi.n throws such a charm over the scientific literature of France, has forwarded to us a paper which he lu , is drawn up for insertion in the proceedings of .the Geo graphical Society of that country, of which, as of many• other learned bodies, he is a member. This paper is a biographical notice of our Arctic hero, the lenient ed Franklin: The author sketch( a in clear and forcible language the circumstances of Franklin's parentage, birth, and boyhcol—his love of the sea, his deeds at Copenhagen and Trafalgar, and ? the romantic narrative of his adventures in the frozen seas. The biogritpher duly tells us of Sir John's gover norship of New Zealan cl, and then all that is known of his last voyage. Toe l thograph is brought into requi sition to give faze sinzi/cs.of Franklin's letters • oh irts of his discoveries are apperlded, and, in a word, with ac counts of the searches that have been made for the lost navigator, the tale is corn plete, and M. de Ia Roquetto has faithfully and ably digicharged his mission. As might be expected, the name of Lady Franklin often appedrs in connec tic n with the noble and energetic attempts she made for tilt, rescue of her husband. Not the least interesting document in relation to these exer tions of Lady Franklin is a,letter which the. Empress Eag6nie shortly after her marriage addressed to tier, and which is now published four the first time. Indeed, we believe that this is the first private letter of the Empress that has ever seen the light. The following is the passage which M. de Ia Roquettehas been permitted to quote : _ "It is, abova all,us a woman and a wife, that I should with pleasure see France associated with England in those generous expeditioas, the first object of which is to rescue a man whose private virtues are surely equal to his talent, at d his courage, since he has inspired in you such an admirable eovotion. " Ultimately I hone that Heaven will grant you the success that your conjugal affection merits ; and then, Madam, there will be a person who will most sincerely participate in the joy of th.e wife of Capt. Franklin— the wife of the Ewpercr Napoleon." The amiable and wotae.niy ,implicity of these words will prove very acceptable, to all who admire the good ness of the Empress, :►nd who cherish the memory of Franklin. That, indeed, will be ever graven in the hearts of his countrymen. as long as naval daring, scien tific enterprise, and love of duty are the honoured virtues of the British salor. Of our Arctic hero La martine has well said— " Dans la lutte d'un. homme avec un element, L'oceau triompha, wale fut son monument." THE LATE COLLiSTONS ON Tlig LONDO.N AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION. In consequence of tree tw o recent fearful occurrences the London and No.rth.V.Testern Railway the Board of Trade have issued an order for two official inquiries to be held; that into the disaster at Wolverton, to be conducted by Lieutenant-Colonel Tolland, R.E. ; and hat at King's Langley, by Lieutenant-Colonel Wynne, R.E. The proceedings, it is expected, will be conducted privately —even the reprek entatives of the press being shut out; for it seems that the Board of Trade have no legal right to make any inquiry into railway accidents, and the inspectors, therefore, merely perform their duties under the sufferance of the company, who, no doubt—as in their own inquiries before the directors—will keep the courts closed. Should such a proceeding be enforced, the public will, of course, want to know the utility of .uch inquiries, as the result can only be known to a few interested individuals, and consequently no good come by them. The whole of the injured passengers in the recent serious clllision, including Lord and Lady Byron, are progressing as favourably as could be ex pected. MARKET NE .—(This Day) HAY MARKETS.

The British press is thought by many to act an undutiful part in parading to all the world the political failures, the social scandals, and even the national crimes of the country. If any stranger wants to see England, her institutions, her Govern merit, and all that belongs to her criticised with unflinching candour, he has only to peruse her journals, and there he will find more than enough for the most furious philippics. Indeed, the rabid abuse of England, that constitutes the very bread of some French and German papers, contains no more material than Englishmen themselves are at pains to supply, though served up with the addition of bad logic and opprobrious epithets. As, then, we are notoriously no flatterers of our country, and that is a thing which does not go down among our own selves, we deserve credit for truth and sincerity when we do happen to speak a good word for our country. The good word which has often occurred to us, and which just now we can speak with particular emphasis, is, that in no other country is the Government so speedily and directly brought to the test of public opinion as in England. It is not only that tho Minister has to defend his policy in Parliament, surrounded by colleagues, place-men, and partisans, and armed with patron age. He has every now and then to stand alone in toe midst of assemblages beyond his control, and of whom he can know out little. They are there because they are rich, or powerful, or self-confi dent, or factious. They stand in no awe. of him. They have little else in common than that they are Englishmen. It was to such a company last night that Lord Palmerston had to present himself, and, according to custom, declare himself on the most in teresting questions of the day. Emperors may, and often do, possessthe devotion and confidence of their Subjects. They may have a large unexhausted credit for the conduct of public affairs. But it may be always pretended, and may even be true, that in any particular affair they no longer carry with them the hearts of the people, and disaffected writers may have the opportunity of eseying that such and such a policy is really unpopular. No such opportunity can be afforded under our Go vernment. Every week tests the question,—is the foreign policy of her Majesty's Government at this moment unpopular or nog There are many both at home and abroad who would affirm it most gladly if they could, 'or if even a doubt ,could be thrown upon the question. But here is a jury of more than a thousand respectable citizens, and Lord Palmerston is put on his trial before them. Does he faithfully serve and truly represent his country or no ? The answer is, that he does. It is, then, not merely the ruler or the Govern ment, but the people itself, that conducts our pub lic affairs. Possibly, in some matters of Imperial policy, where a company or a colony intervenes, neither Government nor people appears to be con cerned till the decision is taken, and to proceed is inevitable. But this is the misfortune of empire, and even when we succeed we take little credit for victories that come so much as a matter of course. We put these instances out of the question, be cause they are put out of the question. The pas sions and the conscience of the British people are agitated on questions either of our home policy or of our intercourse with our neighbours, and rivals. Of these, then, do we speak when we say that no Minister can go on long without being " brought to book," area confronted with that very public for whom he professes to act. On these occasions hao pily also there are witnesses, not only beyond the suspicion of partiality and connivance, but inte rested in detecting the decline of enthusiasm and the withdrawal of support. No captain ever counted so closely the, guns of a hostile broadside growing weaker and weaker as the Minister or partisan .of a foreign Government watches our popular demonstrations, our flagging cheers, our ominous silence, or filtering accents.. A coil re ception, or energetic appeal faintly responded to, is reported to twenty Courts, and distant states men know how much they may presume on our wavering resolves or divided opinions. So, had Lord Palmerston either felt it necessary to confine himself to vague generalities l as t n i g ht, o r h a d hi s express appe a to the support of the country been received with indifference, no doubt we should soon have had to perceive the result in a certain 10-s of appreciation abroad. Elsewhere it is thought a great object to ascertain the precise intentions of the Sovereign, to measure the influences at work upon him, to detect his relentings, and to be warned of his exasperations—the result of common acci dent, perhaps of disease, or even more trivial causes. Here the will at work is that of the people. If it ebbs or flows, the change is as manifest as the tides of our own ocean. It has, indeed, now and then left the Mini s t er stranded high and dry, in absolute desertion, or split on some rock of political obstinacy. But hero it is evident the resolution of the British people, to which Lord Palmerston made his appeal last night, has not been flattered by a momentary triumph nor blunted by a certain de gree of delay. It is not tired out or perplexed. Eighteen months ago, by a vigorous effort, it re jected the casuistry which said there was no real quarrel," and that on our heads rested the crimes . of the war. That was not the convulsive effort of an hour. The people of England are as ready to dis criminate with keenness between the fulfilment and non-fulfilment of a treaty, between an honest and a fallacious interpretation, as they were last year between substantial and illusory conditions of peace. Nor is there a doubt that the popular en thusiasm and stern resolution which then' carried Government through the war to the Treaty of Paris needs only the signal to bear us all onwards to an honourable fulfilment. The Premier made a significant reference to the state of things under which we consented to ex change war for negotiation. "At the commence • mence of the present year," he says, " this coun try possessed the finest army and the most magni ficent fleet that were ever engaged in defending the honour and the rights of England. The spirit of the people was roused to as high a pitch as was ever witnessed in this country." Clause by clause this glance at the still recent past was cheered by his lordship's hearers, as was 'also the picture he drew of the anticipations which the British people reluctantly but conscientiously gave up for peace. The assemblage that thus cheered his lordship has probably as much stake in the continuance of peace as any equal body of men in the country. They have become too well acquainted with the horrors and anxieties of war, and they are still paying its cost. Nevertheless, at a word, they can look back to the hour when they everywhere heard the notes of preparation, when men were recruited in hot baste, when the whole packet service was impressed for the war, when every forge, every dockyard, was employed in the manufacture of ships and arms; wben, consequently, money and blood flowed with little account. Their cheers denote how readily, if need were, they would return to that state. Is it necessary that Europe, or any State in it, should want to know in what mood the war has left us ? There can be no longer the least doubt on that point. We are what we were— ready for peace, or for war. To such suspicions as there might be on this point —to any unworthy estimate of the national spirit that may have been made, one answer has already been given —that of pie public press. There is not a jour nal that commands even the lowest degree of respect with the people of this country that has not resented the thought that we might be frightened out of the Treaty of Paris. England has already , replied that she will not re-open the whole ques tion by a general reference to a new Congress. It is not for nothing that she has disbanded soldiers and sent ships into harbour. She will not undo work that has been done, and will only enter a conference with a distinct understanding of its subjects. That answer has been' given ebuyeh an public press, and nothing was wanted expression of public feeling as wouldshow The e l it to be no boast or exaggeration of the journalist. reception given o the Premier in the that ing districts, andnpopwileast thetheproof annual fdstival w m actur ea ufnodf our City of London, supplies ot t . m sp d ok n e o n with out o h u o r o a k b . e v c o t he e m a t r e o rar doneies j have c e n , than justice, to the spirit of our country, as well as to the spirit of the statesman to whom its destinies are confided. (From the Morning Post,) It is a custom among the English people that at certain high festivals, of which the Lord Mayor's dinner is one, the Prime Minister of the country makes his appearance on a stage somewhat more public than St. Stephen's, and on which he speaks to an audience more mixed, but scarcely less im poThese speeches not on l y command, tradi tionally, the respect of those to whom they are specially addressed, but they often contain strong truths of the utmost importance on the temper of English policy at the moment. Much, of course, depends on the character of the Minister who speaks. The polished, cautious eloquence •of the late Sir Robert Peel seldom touched on any but safe subjects. The manly candour of Lord Pal merston throws on the reputed dangers of England a light by which all may learn the position that she intends to maintain in any difficulties that max arise. Nothing can be simpler, bolder, or more modest than the tone of the Premier. Nothing can be more decided, He holds without the slightest aba tarnent the professiqua which thrill( ‘l. the hearts <'` zll who at Manchester.

Russia will not consent to the neutralisation of the Black Sea, nor yet to the freedom of the Danube.

Chancellor this morning gave judgment in this very important ca-e, which was argued a few days ago before his Lordship. It was a petition for the seal ing of a patent, to secure to Mr. Bessemer his alleged invention of a new methed of making malleable iron by one process, which smeltered, refined, and paddled the iron in the same furnace, so that the iron flowed out for any purpose. The first notice, however, of the inven tion was given in a paper read before the British Association, and it bad since been asserted that the discovery was worth millions to the British ironrnasters. It appeared, however, that a process somewhat similar to that claimed by Mr. Bessemer has beau in operation for the last 14 months at the Bawling Iron Works at Bradford, and that the manager of those works, a Mr. Birch, patented the invention on the 22d of June, 1855. A caveat bad been lodged by Mr. Eirch against the sealing of Mr. Bessemer's process on the ground that it was nearly the same as his own. His lordship said there were a few questions under the consi• deration of the court more full of difficulty than the present, but after carefully exnitining the whole of the plans and documents in the case, he felt bound to say that there was sufficient novelty in the invention of Mr. Bessemer for the granting of a patent, and under these circumstances he did not see how the Court ceuld. -with hold the affixing cf the great seal thereto. The great seal would, therefore, be affixed to his patent, and the time for carrying out the patent would be enlarged until the 30th of December next. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. 'Sittings in BitICO, before Lord Campbell, Xustices Coleridge, Wightman, and Erie.) This was the Fpecial paper day. Three cases only were set down for hearing. The first, Ince v. Manches ter, involving the question of the maintenance of a lima tic pauper, is which the Court took time to consider the point. SPIELMAN V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY On the calling on of this cue, Mr. Wilde applied to .heir Lordships to postpone this case till Friday. Lord Campbell declined, and said the case must be proceeded with or struck out. , ThiP, from time imme morial, had been the special paper day, and it ills not respectful to the Court for such applications to be made without any explanation. Mr. Wilde said he knew nothing of the case, and had acted according t,) his instructions for a postpone ment, to which both parties consvuted. Lord Campbell said tuat no doubt counsel was free from blame, but, he repeated, there was serious blame somewhere, and that the public time must not be trifled mith in this way. He ordered the case to he struck out, and not to be restored without full explanation from the learned counsel engaged. The case was then struck out, as was the remaining one. His lordship then went through the bar, who had no motions to make, and the Court rose before 12 o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ;Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron Pollack, Mr. Baron Alder.ion, Mr, Baron Bramwell, and Mr, Baron Watson.) OLDERSHAW AND ANOTHER EXECUTRIX AND EXECUTOR V. KING. Tins was an action tried before Mr. Justice Wiles on a guarantee, when the jury found for the plaintiff, sub ject to a special case as to whether the defendant was liable in law. The question was whether there was sufficient consideration expressed in the guarantee to en title the plaintiff to recover the whole of his claims in respect to the future and past advances that had been made. The Court took time to consider their judgment. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) THE WESTMINSTER DISTRICT BOARD OF WORKS V. THE WESTMINSTER GAS AND CORE COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant Hayes, with whom was Mr. Bodkin, applied for a rule nisi, calling upon Mr. Paynter, police magistrate of Westminster, to show cause why he should riot adjudicate upon a summons issued by him on Ist July, 1856, against the defendants, for breaking up, &c., the pavement, for laying down gas pipes, mains, &c., without the consent of the District Board first ob'tained in writing, whereby the defendants had in curred a penalty of 51. The question turned upon the Construction of sec. 109 of the Metropolitan Manage ment Act. Ruie granted. POLICE INTRT.T.TGENOE.CrIiii Day. SOUTH WARK. DARING GAROTTE ROBBERY IN THE BOROUGH.— Thomas Marty, a ruffianly looking fellow, was brought up in custody of Sergeant Broad, 23 L, charged with being concerned with two other men in committing a violent assault upon Mr. Edward Mason, a banker's clerk, and robbing him of a pipe and case. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that about 12 o'clock on the foggy night he was passing along Blackman-street, Through, towards his home, Oxford terrace, Clapham-road, and when near King's-place a man rushed upon him and seized him tightly by the throat, another man caught hold of his arms, while two others rifled his pockets. He was so tightly grasped by the throat that he was nearly suffocated. He, however, contrived to raise an alarm, when the fellows let go and ran away. One of them, Charles Hunter, a ticket of leave coavict, was pursued, and taken into custody at the time, but the others made their escape. Witness was informed that another man was in custody at the Tower-street police station on the previous night, when he attended and identified the prisoner as the man who grasped his throat. He then gave him in charge. The ruffians ransacked his coat pockets, but fortunately they had not time to get to an inside pocket where he had considerable property. All he lost was a pipe and case Sergeant Broad, 23 L, said'that he had been in search of the ruffians since the robbery. On the previous even• ing he was in company with 38 M, in Webber-street, Blackfriara•road, when he saw the prisoner look into a public-house. As soon as he saw witness he bolted off towards the New-cut, where he was eventually cap tured. Witness took him to the Tower-street police station, and shortly afterwards Mr. Mason entered, and identified him as the man who throttled him. On the way to the station-house the prisoner said, "There were others who ought to be taken as well as me, and they might have taken him before." Abraham Dearing, 38 NI, said he was on duty in Blackman-street on the evening of the fog, and he piked up the prosecutor, who was nearly strangled. One of the ruffians was taken near the spot,, but the others escaped. He knew the prisoner to be one of the men who ran away. The prisoner declared that all the witnesses were mis taken. lie was not in the 139 rough on the night in question, and he should be able to prove that he was in a public-house near the Victoria Theatre at the time. Mr. Mason swore positively as to his identity; and it being proved that he was a notorious thief and com• panion of ticket-of leave canvicts, the magistrate com mitted him for trial with the other man, Charlea Hunter.

It was thought just and wise by our Allies—and by ourselves—to stop short in the career of triumph on which we had entered. It was deemed best not to press our enemy beyond the point which showed our advantage and which won our cause. It was decided to make peace, stipulating on no conces sions peculiarly beneficial to England or to France, but maintaining only the matter of right on which we had insisted from the first. It is this matter of right which Russia, with her usual dishonesty, now seeks to evade and withhold; it is this, on every iota of which, won as it has been, by blood, by toil, by self-denial, England now fairly and strongly in sists, as on that which has been too well and too dearly won to be withdrawn. It was this persist ence in the right once achieved that Lord Palmer ston announced last night. This was the plain, simple decl ara ti on , w hi c h was i n t errup t e d b y t h e loudest burst of cheering that we ever beard. This is the policy on which the Government is bent, and which the whole country follows to a man, which, wherever it is spoken, meets with the burst of ap plause that in England always attends the straight forward declaration of manly sentiments. Wears. convinced, not only by the universal popu larity that now waits on Lord Palmerston, whether from the keen hard-headed men of Manchester, or from the citizens of London, or from those through out the country who read his words, with a proud determination that, so far as their force can go, they shall be carried out to the utmost, not only by this strong sign of a nation's instinctive judgment, but by .every argument of justice) and reason that this straightforward, true asser tion of the maintenance by a nation of her duty is ever the right course. It is of little use to tax ourselves to raise great armies., unless we let the world know that they are raised, not for idle show, but for the actual maintenance of the rights -on which we insist. It is of little use to sweep the seas with our mighty fleets if, after all, we allow our beaten enemy to affect an insolent superiority in the very quarter in which we have proved the absurdity of her unjust assumptions. We have consented to a peace on conditions so moderate, that the Power from which we won them would, it might be thought, be anxious to carry them out without swerving a line from their letter or their spirit.. The contrary is the fact. Russia has met our generous , moderation by intrigue, by subter fuge, by pretension. She must be taught that England is not weak because she is moderate. She must learn that the opinion of the whole country sides with her Minister en this question, that none of her citizens are so blind as not to see the import ance of the point at issue—that all are ready for any sacrifice they may be, called on to make. It is for these reasons that we are glad of the publicity given to Lord Palmerston's sentiments by his speeches at Manchester, and again by his de claration last night at the Guildhall. It is for these reasons that we rejoice in the burst of ap plause, in the true English feeling, with which their announcement is met on all sides and by every party. (Prom the Morning Gerald ) In the Town Hall of Manchester on Thursday last Lord Palmerston is reported to have =douse of the following words :—" We are now at peace, and I hope that peace may be lasting. Its dura tion must depend upon the honour and fidelity with which its conditions are fulfilled. I trust that that power which brought upon itself the hos tility—either active or moral—of all Europe by a forgetfulness of international rights and duties—. I trust that that Power, having concluded a treaty, will observe 'that treaty with faithfulness, and then no doubt peace will be of long duration." Such is the deliberate language of the First Minis ter of the Crown with reference to the treaty of I March last, and to the conduct of Russia with respect to it. It is language which no doubt implies decision, and perhaps the adoption of a fixed policy on the part of this G Irernment; but words are easily uttered, and n man understands their value hatter than Lord Plltnerston. The people of Manchester, like most Englishmen, appreciate a confident anti straig , itforward address, and are of opinion that a solemn contract is only undertaken to be kept. The Protmer was fully acquainted with the character of his auditory, and he improved the occasion with his usual dexterity; but he carefully abstainei from entering upon a description of the contract in question; he did not tell his hearers, as he could have done, that the most material parts of the treaty of March last were not concluded at all at the Oungress, but were relegated to other bodie s , to certain - commissioners t o be appointed subse quently to the break up of the conferences, and who were to arrange those very points at present in dispute, and which have never been conceded by Russia, and never will be -without another war. If L .n.d Palmerston had told the good people of Man chester that the treaty was an imperfect document —a sort of conditional contract; - which the party chiefly interested declines to carry out for reasons best known to himself—he would have given a faithful description of the peace; and if he had added that Russia, in refusing to comply with its loose conditi ons , has been supported by that Go vernment which has been in strict alliance with us all through the war, his lordship's reputation for candour and sincerity would not have suffered ma terially. As it was, Lord Palmerston implied, if he dil not actually assert it, that the conditions of peace are so clear, so rigid, and so precise , that there can be no mistake what ever about them ; that they were the result of . the anxious and, lengthened deliberations of the authorised represen tatives of the European States; that they were un derstood by Russia to be final at the Congress, and while the allied forces were in the field, and only discovered by that power to be debateable when it became safe to question them ; therefore, that the Russian Government by its own act had preluded further controversy on the subject. If peace is to be maintained it could only be by a strict observ ance of the treaty by Russia, or, according to Lord Palmerston, " its duration must depend upon the honour and fidelity with which its conditions are fulfilled."
