THE CHEAP NEWSPAPER PRESS.—Upon the repeal of the newspaper ,stamp duty several cheap daily news- papers were printed and issued in Nottingham. In a short time most of them declined ; not even the great interest attached to the war in the Crimea could keep them alive. The most spirited paper, however—the Daily Express, as it was called, published at a halfpenny, —survived and was printed daily until Wednesday last, when it also died. In the "parting words" of this last number the editor remarks, after speaking of its success up to the present moment and also of its usefulnesp, that the reason why it is not continued is—" simply because there is no need for it." "And when one says, ' Why not divert the Express into topics of general in- terest r—to be candid," says the editor, "we don't think it wquld pay to do so ; and what is the use of being mattyra to our whims ?" y 17, 1856. „,, : ' '...--:- :::: -:- ::, , z.....4..,::-4.:::. ; 14. 7 4,4:44 9. - ~,i.

TRIESEMAIL—On the 29th of May, 1855, an injunction was granted by the High Court of Chancery, and on the 11th of June following was made perpetual, against Joseph Franklin arid others, to restrain them, ander a penalty of one thou sand pounds, from imitating this Medicine, which is protected by loyal Letters Patent of England, and scoured by the Seals of the Ecole de Pharmacia de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna. TRIESE MAR, No. 1, is a remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorrhcea, and all the distressing consequences arising from early abuse, &c., and its effects are effi cacious in youth, manhood, and old age ; and to those persons who are prevented entering the married state from the results of early errors it is invaluable. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely er ,dicates all traces of those Disorders which Capaivi and Cubeb , ha 7e so long been thought an antidote for, to the sum of the healti of a vast portion of the copulation.

LON DON, SAT UR DA Y 14;V LoIVINC3r., MA LORD STANLOY AND HIS CON STITUENTS. On Wednesday Lord Stanley, M. P„ addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting of his constituents at King's Lynn, on the present aspect of foreign and domestic politics, with the view, as he stated, of informing them of the political aims and ideas of their representative, and of hearing from them their wishes on public matters. With regard to the war, the hope he had about a year ago expressed, that it would be of no long duration, had been justified. There was no reeotd, be believed, of any European struggle of equal magnitud e ending so quickly—a circumstance which indicated that peac e had become, or was becoming, the natural condition of mo dern society. Mr. Pitt was stated to have once said, when accused of making undue concessions in a commercial treaty with France, that it was a matter of no great importance, be cause a treaty was only binding during peace, and peace with France c „uld not be expected to last a very long time. We had now got beyond that state of things, and though we were . yet far from the realisation of universal peace, there were:in ternational interests growing up which tended slowly, ,but certainly, to link nation to nation, until a gradual diminution of armaments should take place, and Europe be spared the reproach of keeping more than 2,000,000 men in idleness and arms—a standing burden on their fellow-citizens, a per petual check to material progress, a "pertual danger to free dom, and cause of jealousy and mistrust betwedn people and people. The treaty of peace, he thought, had been received with satisfaction, but without enthusiasm, which was all that reasonable people expected ; but he thought its terms svcrefar less important than the spirit in which the parties mutually negotiated. A treaty, though morally binding and sacred, was not legally enforceable, for there was law court to take cognis tuco of its breach ; or, if there ware, there was no international police to enforce its decrees. Trea- ties, therefore, could always be broken by those-. who made them ; excuses were sever wanting ; and neither princes nor people eared much for the 'public opinion of any nation but their own, which was generally with them iu such mat ters. Terms of peace to be lasting must be not only honour able, but such that neither party should have an interest to break them. With regard to the present prospects of Europe on this subject he said that, diplomatically, there were four continental powers which had assumed to stand in the first rank, but practically Austria and Prussia had played a secondary part. France and Russia were the only two a!,le to involve E rope in war. Russia had a certain kind of public opinion, but was mainly governed by the personal will of its ruler; and he believed that the Czar's love of peace and desire for social progress was really a part of his character, and not assumed for a temporary purpose. With regard to Franco, although it was an article of belief with some that her restless ambition and warlike temper were still a cause of danger to Europe, yet during the last year there had been a general desire in France for peace, and a very strong pressure upon the Go vernment, by its own subjects, to make peace. Napoleon had, by directing the attention of his subjects to industrial en terprise rather than foreign Conquests, given another proof that he understood their temper and tendency. In the disposi Awl of those foreign Powers, therefore, there was seen re 'son to hope for a continuance of peace. The , general course which this country ought to pursue in her future foreign policy was plain. No doubt there were cases, such as those of some of the present Italian Governments, where the acts of cruelty perpetrated in the name of law justified, and even de manded, the remonstrance of foreign countries, on the ground of common humanity; others, again, like that of Sardinia, where we were bound to protect a faithful ally;. but as a general rule he was opposed to much interference iu the internal affairs of foreign countries, because, among other reasons, it afforded despotic Governments their best excuse for keeping up the immense standing armies which gave them the power of doing mischief. The duty of England, as an empire, lay beyond the limits of Europe. Her people were eminently a colOnising people. Half our trade at present was with the United States, the colonies, and India,----with States which now are or have been our colonies, and with territories which we held by conquest. Canada and Australia were doubling their population in 25 years, and every acre reclaimed, every colonist who went out to our colonies, was an accession to the cause of freedom and self-government. The successful and con tinued existence of one free and great empire, like England, under constitutional government, was standing and in- destructible evidence against absolutism in all forms. England, so constituted, was destined to lead mankind out of their present transitional state to a better and happier future, destroying abuses, not by direct attack, but by the irresistible attraction of example. Turn ing to our internal policy, there were many questions of deep interest which could at present be stirred with advantage. It would be premature to speak of financial reform until our war taxes wero paid off; but there were two taxes so objec tionable, on social and economic grounds, that they might well be remitted, even at the expense of maiutaining a higher income tax than would be otherwise necessary. The insurance duty was a fine on prudence, was not felt by the very rich or the very reckless, and was now driving business from our own into foreign bands ; and the paper duty was vexatious in collection, checked improvement in manufacture, tended to raise the price of an article of which the demand exceeded the supply, and hisidered the diffusion of cheap literature and news. Parliamentary reform must necessarily be deferred. He believed a general apathy prevailed respecting it ; but he would say that either the thing ought not to be done or it ought to be done effectually—no small measure could or ought to pass ; and no Government ought to take up that subject unloo they determined to stand or fall by it. It was Litoler• able that a Minister should be enabled to keep on agitation hanging over the country, merely because his party was dis• satisfied, and he wished to content them. A third topic which, ho regretted, could not be raised for the moment, was that of education. He was less sanguine than last year of any general measure on the subject; but the late majority against Lord John Russell's scheme was no test of the general feeling, the measure being not ono com plete in all its details, but merely a series of resolutions, some very good, some doubtful, but all put together without much appearance of care or consideration, and put forward without much external support. But there was no cause for permanent discouragement, for there were causes in operation on which, in the long run, the friends of education might confidently rely—the cheap press, called into existence by the legislation of last year, cheap literature, libraries, reading•rooms, institutes, and, more than all, the gradual opening of the civil service to intellectual competi tion. Sooner or later the adoption by this country of a sound system of school teaching was certain. But the practical subjects which at the present moment ought to engage at tention were mainly three—army reform, administrative re form, and the amendment of the law. The first was a duty imperatively called for by the experience of the war. lie believed the Crimean disasters were caused much more by want of plan and foresight in the executive at home than by want of administrative ability on the spot ; but it was only natural that two years of war should have taught us that which 40 years of peace had led us to forget. Now was the time for action ; if the opportunity was lost it was not likely to return. For years before this war the House of Commons could hardly be got to listen to a discussion on military. affairs —the expense of the army, and not its efficiency, was alone thought of. That state of things, natural in time of peace, was certain to recur, and if it did the victories of the war would be cited in defence of every system, notwithstanding which they were obtained. No doubt the Government or its friends would say that before the reduction was carried too far, and that it was necessary to keep under arms a numerically largo force in time of peace. There would always be crafty men to hold that language, and credulous men to believe it. and that frompp ose ing that advice had been acted upon in 1815, that time to the present we had spent two or three millions more early than we had done on our army, wo should have had a larger number of retired officers, or, worse, officers who ought to be retired but were not—two generations of so ldi er s trained in arms without even firin g a sot against an enemy—and a vast stock accumulated of weapons obsolete without being employed, and the cost of which would have been lost to the country. Taking at the highest estimate (100,000,0001.) the cost of the late war, 2,500,000/, yearly f ro m 1815 to 1854 would have conic to the same sum, with the addition of interest, while it was not at all certain that increased preparation would have prevented the war. But what was wanted in time of peace was rather the nucleus round which an army might be readily formed than a great army itself ; and he pointed to the militia, disembodied, but called out for short intervals of training, as supplying such a want. The army should be, to a great extent, relieved of the duty of guarding the colonies, Canada and Australia e specially being well able to do that by local militia ; and for what was retained of the standing army ats:s a ett t ii; m h est r op m h al o c c in er s op P i ao n s f of instruction should be formed, no expense grudged in their o training, all means used to develope the scientific branch of the service, and, above all, s s : a7 m ath u t c h le ract e g v a o tr i hd lc e the discharge of their ordinary duties that the profession should be really a working one, and not a mere excuse for wearing rallel, r s'n' in hr o ies t d h l e oc r rodasth.ip countries or in other branches of the public service in this, that it was anomalous in theory, un just between man and man, and that the principl e on w hi c h alone it could be defended would also justify the selling of judgeships and secrotaryships of State. Its one sole defence was, that the abolition of purchase would put too much patronage into the hands of Government. But the patronage of the civil service had been taken from Government, some' branches of the military service had been opened to compe tition, a numerous force was not required, and, further, a fixed proportion of commissions might be given away to the sons of deserving officers, if the social class from which officers were taken were changed b 3 this measure, to any great extent, it would be a misfortune— a constitutional I danger. An army whose officers solely, depended upon the I Crown for means of subsistence might become in troubled times a dangerous instrument in the hands of an unscru pulous Government against the people. But he believed that result was quite out of the question ; the army was never a lucrative profession ; it afforded, during peace, very little scope for ambition ; it was apt to lead to habits of expense, and the education required for it was costly to ob tain • it was not likely, therefore, to be selected by p aren t s in the less wealthy classes. The preponderance of ono class among officers depended, in fact, more on the general tastes and habits of the community, than upon any exclusive system at the Horse Guards. The objection' to military reform by Parliament, on the ground of its interfering with the Crown, Lord Stanley combated by printing to the navy, which was represented in the House of Commons, and governed like any other department responsible to Parlia ment ; and by arguing that Parliament voted money for the army, it had the right of ascertaining how that money was applied. But he only claimed for the Commons the right of settling the general principles of military administration, anddeprecated those debates on the merits of •n lividual officers, and criticisms on military operations, of which there had been too many. The house (lid not sit to revise time sen tences of courts-martial, or to give opportunity for eulogising particularwith Mr. Gladstone, that it was not overpaid, I lit that men. With regard to the civil service, lie o, t t Li b o ue n ll g aie h yh t ee , necessarynoi•e pei if persons l e i v e e y r employedowere better to s e d l o e e the d work. lie than it n that it often happened that candidates known to be unfit were appointed with that knowledge, but the fair ground of complaint was that uo care was taken to choose the fittest. All, lie believed, agreed that there ought to be a check to this, and the only question was, whether the test to be im posed should be merely an excluding test or a competitive one. He was in favour of the latter, as tending to promote self-respect in the employed, relieving public men of the re sponsibility of selection, which was treated lightly by the careless, but weighed heavily upon time conscientious. A system, on the other hand, which merely excluded those below a mental standard, relieved the :Minister or responsi bility without securing the :ablest applicant. lie believed (contrary to au objection which was urged) that the test of knowledge applied to persons entering life, was to .a great extent a moral as well as an intellectual test, proving the existence of industry, perseverance, and steady habits mush more than of mere talent, which was - not by • any means the first quality required for success in such examinations. He admitted that this: question should be I looked at on its own merits, and not with reference to its in ' direct bearing on the question of education that in exami nations carried too far there was a risk of pedantry; that ac curacy of knowledge, not extent of tettaintrients, should be aimed at ; mid that care should be taken to give as - far as possible an equal value to attainments of different kinds, but ' while there was no infallible way of judging men's abilities and characters, on the whole the competitive plan was the - best. He enpported it because it excluded absolute ineffi ciency, favouritiSm, or suspicion of favouritism, and carried out that great and sound idea—au open career to all. He advocated a more ready transfer of civil servants from depert meat and department, so as to facilitate promotion by mete instead of 'seniority, without exciting jealousy; and the se paration of merely mechanical from mental labour, thus re ducingethe number of servants required in the higher grades, and rendering Their work of a hightir character, and, there fore, more attractive. With reference tatty, amendment, he believed that the great majority of 'thinking .men wore agreed that the ecclesiastical courts, with their cumbrous and antiquated Machinery, ought to be done away, with, and probate of wills decided ie a new court._ The only difference of opinion was, as to the constitution of this new court ; but he hoped that difference between the two bills before Parlia ment would be settled and an effective measure brought into . operation. Greater facilities were required in the tranSfer of landed property, and for trio tote of agrioultnral improve ment, the actual possessor of land ought as far as possible to be the absolute mast i r, of it, independently of the claims Of others. Asirecommeuded by the statute .I.rew Commis• sion, a board was requit-31 to examine now bills before and during theii passage through Parliament, to insure their being clear in meaning and not repugnant to w fOi t em The consolidation, also, ph the_ s t a ta e a —the separation of obsolete laws from those actually in force, ;s required —the ts and reduction of the whole within comparatively small bulk. Oa one subject—that of marriage and divorce—the present state of the law was absolutely disgraceful. He did net wish: to extend the right of divorce beyond the cause of adultery ; but it was monstrous that a husband who had been deserted and wronged could only be released by a special act of Parliament, costing about 10001. The Lord Chancellor had a bill on that subject before Parlia ment, and it was t.t be hoped that the session would not pas/ without the establishment of a cheap and simple tribunal for cases of the kind. Lastly, a Minister of Justice was required. Without some such central controlling autho rity all projects for law amendment would be fragmentary and imperfect. That wane it would not be difficult to supply. He advised a division of the numerous duties now devolving on the Lord Chancellor in this respect as Speaker to the House of Lords and as the highest judicial authority in the realm. Passing over numerous minor matters his lordship spoke of his vote on the Sunday question, confessing himself ashamed, not of any vote that he had given, but that such a vote should be held to require apology or explanation. He had maintained, and would maintain through life, the prin ciple that individual conviction should be free ; that the laws existed for the maintenance of social order, for the protection of man against man, and not for the enforcement of any real or supposed religious obligation. He expressed his surprise at the state of feeling evinced on this subject in a Protestant country, showing, as it did, that there were many who in theory would admit the right of private judgment, but who in practice, when the private judgment of their neighbours differed from their own, were very ready to adopt the theories of former times. His lordship concluded by Observing on the general question of reform, that if we wished to go far we must not go fast ; but while he deprecated all hasty or violent change, he believed there was in the and no policy so revolutionary as that which had been called the conservatism of immobility—the resolution that "happen what may after wards, things shall not be altered in our time." He would not use party names, because, at the present time, they had little meaning ; but he would say (not as a paradox, bat as a truth) that in England there was much which all must wish to see altered, much which all must wish to see retained ; and in England, therefore, no man could be a reformer who was not in some sense a Conservative, and no man could be a true Conservative who was not in some sense a reformer. His lordship's address, which was most attentively listened to aed frequently applauded, concluded amid enthusiastic cheering., and a vote of thanks to him, proposed by Mr. Bagge, was given with three times three A vote of thanks to the mayor for presiding concluded the proceedings. SUICIDE OF MI?. arIARLES RUSSELL. Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, held an in quest yesterday at 2 o'clock oa the body of Mr. C. Russell, late chairman of the Great Westera Railway, at his late resi dence in Argyle street, Regent-street Mr. G. L. Russell, of the Chancery bar, identified the body as that of his brother. He knew of no cause except mental disease for his committing suicide. Robert Howard, valet to the deceased, deposed that he had two or three days before complained of pains in the chest ; and on Tuesday morning had called for a cup of tea—a fact quite unusual with him, and still complained of the pain he was labouring under, and said he had sentfor medical advice. He left him at 10 o'clock at night, awl went to his room at a quarter before 7on Thursday morning. He then found the deceased lying on the bed in his dressing-gowg,eit his side. Ills face was covered with blood ; two pistol 'were lying by his side ; he was not dead at that thee, but breathing hard. He (witne,,s) ran for the nearest medical man, and Mr. M'Os car, of Tyler-street, attended, and a physician was sent for. He heard no report of a pistol during tho night, and no one was in the house except the deceased, witness, and the female housekeeper. The pistols found on the bed ho had never seen before. One had-been discharged, the other appeared to have missed fire. The deceased never spoke, and died about 2 o'c ock. Mr. J. MgOscar deposed I hat when he was called to see the deceased he found him bleeding from_the mouth and nostrils. The blood on his face was quite hard ; and, on examining the mouth, he found a large fissure in the centre of the palate, evidently caused by a pistol-shot, the bullet, in al probability lodging near the brain. Ho was perfectly unconscious and had bad no power of motion, and the act might have been committed one or two hours before he was calledin. He had 11(4 doubt that death was caused by effusion of blood on the brain from the wound, and that, the deceased committed the act himself, which appeared, from the direction of the wound, to have been done with the left hand. In his opinion, from the marks of blood ou the floor, the deceased must have fired the pistol standing, and then thrown himself on to the bed. Both pistols bad not been discharged, but, one bein un screwed, the powder had dropped out, the bullet remaining in the barrel. Mr. Morton, of i2d, Stanhope•place, Surgeon, said he had known the deceased for seine years ; he had latterly been suf fering from oppression on the chest, which would tend to de press the brain and cause mental derangement. After some further evidence the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." RAILIV AY TRAFFIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. Milos I opened,)lBs6. NAME OF RAILWAY.

( Prom the Times of this day. ) It seems that we are never to be indulged with a spell of tranquillity within and withoat. Scarcely had we done with the forei g n foe than a set of internal enemies started up within th e heart of the capital, and we are once more delivered over to anxiety and alarm. If we have no longer to fear for the lives of our friends in the Crimea, the ap prehension must now be for ourselves and for our property. Stones in place of shells, and bludgeons in place of sabres, will, according to all appearance, play their part ; and to morrow, "unless the people be better advised, we have to apprehend a repetition of the dismal follies of last year. We have received a number of placards of an inflammatory character, in which it is recommended that the people should assemble as usual in the Parks. Nothing more is said, although everything is implied. " Little birds" in mo/ocliois whisper have informed the authors of these pro clamations that " the people will be the stronger," &o. Now, it is needless to say what the end of this will be. There will be a great assemblage in the Parks, especially is Hyde-park. The thieves and vag;abonds of London will introduce themselves a m ong th e limiest and respectable portion of the population. A disturbance will follow. There will be rows, and conflicts with the police, until at length even the persons aho wish best to the cause for which the people aro contending will be compelled to ad mit that it is better the Sabbatarians should enjoy their unlucky triumph over common sense than that the town should be given over to riot and disorder. One would have thought that the experience of last year would have satis fied even the more advanced of ails party that the attempt to impose the Edinburgh Sabbath upon London was not likely to be crowned with very remarkable success, but the feeling of disgust at the bigotry of the men who would in terfere with the reasonable liberty and enjoyments of their fellow-subjects will be increased a hundredfold by the con sequences of any riot, be they what they may. Havinr , said thus much, we will venture to offer a few words of most serious and earnest advice to our fellow subjects and fellow-townsmen. There must not be any riot or disturbance in the parks or elsewhere to-morrow. Every respectable person who may find himself at any of tmese places must reckon himself as a special constable there present to maintain, not to violate, order. There is nothing the fanatical party so eagerly and intensely desire as a violation of the peace, and in this hope they must not be gratified. It will be highly to the honour of the Lon doners if any thief or vagabond who endeavours to cause confusion in the parks to-morrow be instantly collared by the bystanders and handed over to the custody of the po lice. Above all, there must be no attack upon the consta bles, who are there for the maintenance of orders, and who must do their duty, at all events. We say again, most emphatically, we trust the Londoners will not give to the bigots that triumph which they seek. Tho cause of Exeter-hall must not for a moment be identified with the cause of law and order. It is not with stones or bludgeons that this battle must be fought, but quite in another way, The reason why the Exeter-ball Fakirs have triumphed is that they have had organisation, where the people have bad none. This has been the triumph of a theological phalanx over a mob of laymen. As to the parks, the Exeter-hall people signed, but didn't go ; the park people went, but didn t sign. Which is the greatest proof of conviction? The Exeter-hall people have a perfect orga nisation, always ready for any emergency. They have in their own sense carried out Sir Robert Peel's direction— " Register, register, register !" What wonder that at any given moment they clear the Parliamentary field before them, and astonish their fellow-subjects with the spectacle and results of their union and intolerance? This contest must be decided in a peaceful way, or it will be decided to the dis.s.dynntage of the people. There is an additional reason why we earnestly deprecate riot or confusion to-morrow. Next week Parliament will bo sit- ting, and there will be an opportunity of putting ques tions to the Minister, which may, as we trust, lead to a peaceful solution of the difficulty. This week, unfortu nately, there has been no possibility of dealing with the question in this manner. Now, we would have our fellow townsmen consider how entirely they will strengthen the Lands of their enemiesfif they put it in their power to say —" The public peace has been violated. Order must be maintained. The populace out of doors must not be suf fered to trample upon law and authority, or where is the end to be ?" At the same time we will add, that it will be the fault of the people if they do not carry thei point. They must unite and petition, as their opponents have united and petitioned, and then, no doubt, the authority of the majority will prevail. We think we can promise, the aid of well nigh every Tospect.thle journal in the king dom. if order be preserved—not otherwise. Let the people do their part ao we will do ours, and we have little tear of the result (From the Morning Herald of this day. ) We look forward with the deepest anxiety to the debate which is to be expected in the House of Lords on Thurs day next. Lord Colchester has given notice of his intention to call the attention of the Upper House to the declaration of the plenipotentiaries assembled at Paris relative to maritime law—a declaration by which the naval supremacy of Eng- Find has been abrogated, the law of nations, and there fore the law of this land, has been fundamentally altered; and by which the Queen in Council and the High Court of Parliament have been reduced to a mere court of registry for enrolling the ukases of an ambassador and his masters, whether in or out of England. We shall not at present touch upon the.point of the in formality of the document by which this change in our laws was effected. It will be sufficient to say that in an act of such paramount importance the authorities under which the signing parties derived their power to bind their respective nations should have been most solemnly and formally set forth. We may add, that in the afore said declaration such rehearsal of authority is omitted; and, on the contrary, England's surrender of her unques t;onsble belligerent rights to seize enemies' property where ever she could find it afloat, is conveye i away from her in an instrument so informal that it is vitiated by its own inherent defects. Nor is it necessary for us to argue that the right of search and seizure has always been the law of England. This none can deny. To quote again the words of Lord Stowell :—" The right of search is clear in practice, which is uniform and universal on the subject. The many Eu ropean treaties which refer to it refer to it as pre-existing, and merely regulate the exercise of it. All writers upon the law of 'n ti-ms unanimously acknowledge it, without the exception of Hubner himself, the great champion of neutral privileges. In short, no man in the least conver sant wi h such subjects has ever, that I know of, breathed a don t upon it." We have shown on former occasions that England has, up to 1853, invariably maintained herself when at war by the exercise of this right. In 1780, when (to use the words of an eloquent writer) "she was solitary, abandoned by the whole world ; struggling with a fatal schism a:nougat her own children; opposed with diminished re sources to all the greatest maritime powers of Europe, to the continent of America, and almost to the continent of Asia ; without a single ally, and before her ancient vigour had shone out, under the direction of her favourite ad mini, to the dismay pf her opponents, nothing could be more Srm or consequently more ho noura bl e th an th e con ductwntiailienheintuhsissi a ri h g ad ht, le a a n g i ue s d h a e g b ai r n o s k t e he t r h . e armed There of Great Britain."—(Ward " O n N eu t ra l Powers.") ityai in England then : th e con t ras t n o w i s too pain fuluweeSl to het rern menal dwell on, We have also explained how, in 1800 and 1807, with similar vigour and with similar success, she again resisted the pretensions pat forth by Russia when the death of the Emperor Paul ensued. For it was by an armed neutrality, and as an armed neutral power, that in the time of the Empress Catherine the Russian Cabinet wished to extort the surrender of this right from England. By the -raciness of the Emperor Paul Russia passed from the st,te of neutral to that of belligerent, and thus was expr se Ito the seizure of her goods. Russia, when at war, had and has, no maritime means of -maintaining her trade ---and at that period an English Cabinet could not be found t r ee expose s s e o t o h n e as m base enough to connive at it. will h i e ll re n f o o Her goods are heavy; they have to b e tr a ns ported by e r n nationst r ade ; sea ; her sea coasts are not exten sive ; her g oods all pass through narrow straits, whic h a few cruiser s could her metically seal. Every man in Rnssia, private and public, land seized her goods the Emperor Paul was strangled. The rowe r of England is at sea. She can b r i ng it t o h ear on other states only by acti ng on th e i r trade, If s h e t o her attack. We need scarcely refer to the last war with France, to the activity of our cru i sers, t o th e rar it y o f th e engagements of great fl ee t s, an d to t h e lif e o f th e ga ll an t themselves es Cellingwood, and oth er a d m i r d so speak, s passed,to in i i s s s d u e p p r e e : I e dent a t os sea, .foor other h i g one long blockade. It has always been, therefore, by the exercise of the r i g ht o f se i z i ng t h e i r goo d s that shehas ex hausted their commerce and maintained her own. On so obvious a point we need not. further dwell. The most important part of the question, however, as well for the nation as for the Rouse of Lords, is the con duct of Lord Clarendon in so binding this realm without having had authority so to do. He is now in the position of an agent who, having re ceived a general power of attorney to act for his employer on a specific matter, makes use of that power to sign away the heir-looms of an entailed estate. Clearly he is liable to process from any one possessed of an interest. "The common and fundamen - tal law of nations." says Lord Stowell, "is of necessity the fundamental law of every nation. It is one of those laws which never required the consent of princes for its establishment, and which no congress of princes is competent ever to take away." There is no denying that Lord Clarendon has changed and taken away the fundamental law of England, not only without the consent but without the knowledge of the great council of the nation. Any proceedings, therefore, in Parliament which shall end without directly inculpating him for so doing will be an absolute admission that an English Ambassador in congress with the representatives of other nations has autocratic power over the laws of England, and bears rule over Qaeen, Lords, and Commons, unquestioned and supreme. been sent for to accom• AA'lo.uVveYishtfe'at Geneva," says pang, as naturalist, Prince Napoleon in his voyage to the north."
