It was provided that that rate of taxation should be maintained for the financial year after the preliminaries of peaco were ex changed. The financial year commenced on sth April; the conditions of peace were signed on the 30th Marcb,"but the ratifications were not exchanged till the 21st or 22d April, so that the 16d. income tax was thrown upon the people until 1858. Now, they must get rid of that tax. He found from official returns that the revenue for the year ending 30th Sept. last was 71,300,0( o'. Nov, the expenditure for the last year of peace, 1853, was 55,400,0001., which was considerably more than the average of the preceding 20 years, and if the Government would not expencl more during the next year, 18z - g, than they did in 1853, they would have at least a balance of 15,950,0001:, so that they would be able to dispense with the 16d. incense tax, which produced 15,91..4000/., and still have a balance of 10,00 Y. to spare. ("Hear, hear," and cheers.) If, however, Lord Palmerston insisted upon saddling the country with a larger standing army, and thus increasing the expenditure of 1857 beyond that of 1853, he would not deserve the support of the people, and it would depend on the pressure exercised by the people upon Parliament ishe tiler the noble lord should pursue such a course or not. (Loud cheers.) After thanking the meeting for the kind ness with which they had heard him, Mr. Williams re susued his seat amid loud cheers. An ELECTOR said that, as the House of Lords had ejected some important clauses of the Metropolis Local Management Bill, he wished to know whether it was not possible to deal with that house as Oliver Cromwell had done —to abolish the house, and send the members to tie right about ? (Cheers and laughter.) - Mr. WILLIAMS was not aware 'of any' 'power which would enable his friend to carry out his wishes. He must say, however, that the Lords had shown more obstructive. ness during the last session than on any occasion within his recollection; and they had not only thrown out im portant measures, but they had opposed the undoubted right and prerogative of the Crown with regard to the crea tion of life peers. (Hear, hear.) Dr. BUSHELL observed it was possible that during the ensuing session a demand might be made upon Parliament for a provision for the Princess Royal, on her marriage with the Prince of Prussia. Ho thought they ought to be very cautious in dealing with regard tosuch a matter, with a State which had been opposed to this country during the late war. (Loud cheers.) He could not expect a decided answer, but he would like to know what were the views of the hon. member on the subject. TUB TREATY OF-PARIS. had 'dechered,•that the town of Bolgrad, which it was iinpbrtant should be preserved toßussia, was the capital of tlie Bulgarian cola/4155. : ";Ll this ayoaeat there was, neither concealment, mis understanding, nor deceit. 'The bengress, in'adhering to the desire- expreeSed llofthe RUESiat Plenipotentiaries, performed an aet l of equity md.wisdorce In fact, its de cision upon the (Lunation of BOlgrad brought the discus sions to a close. Art. was drawn up conformably to the re elution taken at the ,sitting of the 10th March. The Russian Plenipotentiaries thought right, however, to make a reserve of the approbation of their Court. That approbaticin was announced by Count Orloff in the sitting of 14th March, Prot. IX. "In this grave deliberation it may be said the una nimity of opinion (accord) of the Plenipotentiaries at the Conference was complete. Doubtless, the Cabi nets by ratifying the acts of their Plenipotentiaries, had not the intention of questioning or disavowing the spirit of equity and harmony which presided over their labours. "The first motive of dissent arose when the delegates had visited the localities ; they then found that the town of Bolgrad, instead of being situate at some dis tance from lake Yalpuck, as was indicated upon all the maps, touched the northern extremity of the lake. "The position thus ascertained on the spot gave rise to a difference of opinion between the respective dele gates as regarded the crossing of the frontier line en trusted to their care. ",The Russian delegates proposed to take as demarca tion* limit the valley line (Thalweg), leaving the left shore of the lake to Russia, the right shore to Moldavia. " Tbis combination was deemed inadmissible by the other Commissioners. Irrtheir opinion, access to the lake open on the left bank to Russia might engender the fear of the Imperial Government forming a flotilla upon the lake, the presence of which might some day be an impediment to the free navigation of the Danube. "This supposition, we may be allowed to say, did not tally in reality with the nature of the locality. Moreover, if the project of the Russian Commissioners had been admitted all subject of anxiety would have been removed before hand by the express condition, that a single brandwachl (boat) should be allowed for the use of the Russian authorities, to be kept at a fixed station, for the use of the custom and sanitary officers. Such a condi tion would surely have excluded the slightest anxiety respecting the free navigation of the Danube. "Nevertheless the proposal of the Russian delegates met with decided opposition. The French Commissioner, with a view to conciliate conflicting opinions, suggested (From the Times.) A portion of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday : A document was addressed by the Russian Go , vernment at the latter end of October to all the Powers that signed the Treaty of Paris. It was accompanied by a circular requesting the recon vocation of the Paris Conferences. This memoran ; dum is an expose of the steps taken by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg with a view to the fulfilment of the Articles 20 and 21 of the Treaty of the 30th of March. It is as follows : "Protocol No. I, of the 4th of April, ordains that the commissioners who, according to the terms of the 20th Article of the Treaty of Peace, are to proceed to the boundary of the new frontier in Bessarabia, are to meet at Galatz on the 6th of May, to accomplish without delay the mission intrusted to them. "In that same sitting the Russian Plenipotentiaries declared that the Russian authorities would make over, as soon as that operation was terminated, to the Molda vian authorities such portion of territory as, accordinc , to the new frontier line, was to be annexed to Moldavia. "Article 20 defines the new frontier :-- " 'lt will start from the Black Sea at one kilometre east of the Lake of Bouvna-Sola, will rejoin perpendi cularly the Akermann-road, will follow that road to the Valley of Trajan, will pass south of Bolgrad, will run alongside the River Yalpuck as far ` as the heights of Saraszika, and will terminate at ICatainori, on the Prat). Above this point the old frontier between the two coun tries remains xnchanged.' "In virtue of this same article the delegates of the contrasting Powers were called to fix the line in all its details. "It will suffice to read carefully the text of those stipu lations to be convinced that they refer to a boundary on the main land, but that they are not applicable to the state of possession of an island situated in the open sea. "This reflection is also applicable to the discussion raised on the subject of the Isle of Serpents. It is not the text which gave rise to this difficulty ; it arises from its silence. " In fact, no express stipulation of the treaty has either annexed to Moldavia or adjudged to Turkey that island, in the possession of which Russia incontestably was before the rupture. "Naw, in matter of right, if there is to be a transfer of any territory from one possessor to acotber, it is necessary that the Treaty of Peace should authorise this change by a stipulation clearly expressed. Silence neither legitimises abandonment on one part, nor acquisi tion on the other. In this point of view the Russian Cabinet, on the restoration of peace, thought it not only a right but a duty to re-establish on the Isle of Serpents the lighthouse, maintained at its expense before the war, in the general interests of international commerce and navigation. So as to take this administrative measure in perfect regularity, the Russian envoy at Paris was ordered to inquire whether the Isle of Serpents was still occupied either by France or by England. "This preliminary information, acquired in the month a new plan—to make a high road — (chaussee) along the shore of the lake, and thus to separate the town of Bol grad from the shores of Lake Yalpuck, with the excep tion of permission to the inhabitants to have access to the borders of the lake for their daily wants. " By this combination the whole lake would remain Moldavian, while the town of Bolgrad, the capital of the colonies, would remain in the possessio❑ of Russia. " The Imperial Cabinet of Russia did not hesitate Mr. WILLIAMS said he could not, of course, give a dis tinct answer to the question, as he did not kuo vs , what pro position the Government might submit to Parliament. He had heard an amount mentioned which, in his opinion, was perfectly ridiculous. Whenever a proposition was made on the subject they might depend upon it he would do all he could to protect the pockets of his constituents, for he thought very little of their money ought to go in the di rection indicated by the gentleman who had put the ques tion. (Cheers and laughter.) In reply to other questions, to give its consent to this proposal, which con ciliated all interests and all mutual considerations. The Austrian, English, and Turkish delegates were not authorised to rdopt this compro mise. In their opinion the frontier line, instead of passing south of Ellgrad, the capital, as understood by the Congress, and as stated in Art. 20 of the Treaty, ought to be drawn south of the place named Tabak (see map annexed to the preliminary conventio❑ of 30th August.) A much-to-be-regretted controversy has arisen on this point. of June from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France and from the Eoglish Amba.sador, proved with what good faith the Imperial Government aimed at the re. establishment of the status qao, while nothing then autho rised the supposition that it would be a subject of dis pute. Mr. WILLIAMS said that the opinions of his constituents were so much divided with regard to the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday that he had felt it his duty to abstain from interfering in the matter. He approved the proposition of the Board of Works to borrow 4,000,000 i. on the security of the rates, to be repaid in 50 years, for carrying out the system of sewerage. Mr. GREY then moved a resolution expressing the satis faction of the meeting with the public conduct of Mr. Wil liams, and their thanks for his exertions in Parliament. The resolution was seconded by Mr. C. EVANS, sup ported by Mr. MURROUGH, ALP., and adopted. Mr. H. J. SLACK moved and Mr. G. HILL seconded a resolution declaring that the expenditure of the country was wasteful and extravagant, and that if the Government could be forced by the pressure of public opinion to keep the accounts in an honest, intelligible manner, and cause them to be efficiently audited, a saving of many millions a year could be effected, and the income tax might bo en tirely removed or very greatly diminished. The resolution was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. GREEN, a resolution was adopted expressing the opinion of the doctors of Lambeth, " that the ensuing session of Parliament will be a favourable time for the Ministers to introduce a bill for extending the elec tive franchise and the taking of vote by ballot, as well as for a general revision of the taxation of the country and an amendment of the existing commercial laws, which pro tect the criminal while they punish his victinis." The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman, _ - _ "Having ascertained that during the operations of the war, and at the time of the signing of the peace, the island had remained unoccupied, the Russian authorities made preparations for relighting the lighthouse, whe❑ they were informed that a Turkish detachment bad taken possession of the island towards the middle of June with out any act of formality. "This incident occurred even before the delegates of the contracting Powers had terminated their labours of, tracing out the frontier line undertaken in execution of Articles 20 and 21 of the treaty. "Eren should the interpretation of these articles have given rise to a difference of opinion, that dcubt should, at all events, have been solved by common agreement be tween the contracting Powers. One of them could not on its own authority decide a point of litigation raised as regards a stipulation forming part of a European trans action, which all the Cabinets had signed, and of which they were all witnesses, guarantees, and judges. "Tile work of peace being the result of their united efforts, it was also necessary that their united concurrence should insure its faithful execution. "A. few words will suffice to elucidate the question by placing it in its true light. The place called Tabak is ❑ot the central point of the administration of the Bul garian Colonies. FJr many years the town of Bolgrad has been the capital. Church, school, government, population, are all concentrated in Bolgrad. Tabak, as all the delegates were able to ascertain, does not, there fore, in any manner respond to the intention avowed openly, in which the Russian Plenipotentiaries asked, and which the other Plenipotentiaries united at the Con gress granted, that Bolgrad should remain in the pos session of Russia. • " This is a simple question of good faith. If the line should be drawn south of Tabak it would be drawn coo trary to the spirit and to the letter of the text. Bolgrad would be separated from the colonies, while it was agreed that that town should remain annexed to them. I❑ a word, the treaty of the 30,h March would not be car ried out conformably to the idea which presided over that transaction. " In this state of affairs the Emperor is of opinion that the most honourable part to take is to appeal to the consciences of the Cabinets that signed the Treaty of Paris. " With this conviction the Imperial Cabinet did not hesitate for a moment to express the necessity of reserv ing to a conference assembled at Paris the examination of the decision of the controversy which arose on the subject of the Isle of Serpents at the end of the month of July. "Instructions sent by order of the Emperor to Baron Brunow, under date of the 4th of August, ordered that Minister to propose to the French Cabinet the immediate meeting of a conference to decide to whom the He of Serpents belonged. " In submitting this point of 'dispute to the Powers that signed the treaty the Imperial Cabinet—stated that the island, which is of no military or political value to Russia, has no other importance than that which results from the maintenance of the lighthouse, which is of . indispensable necessity to c3inmerce, especially to that of Odessa ; that the seizure by a single party, without the consent of the last possessor, does not constitute a legal claim, as the treaty is completely silent on the subject.; finally, that to remedy this mistake it was requisite that the representatives of the contracting Powers should meet, reserving for their decision a ques tion which had not acquired the authority of a thing ciecided by the acts of the Congress. " At this period the opportuneness of a deliberation in common seemed also to be appreciated by the Cabinets of Vienna and of London. " Consequently', by order of his Majesty, the Russian Envoy on a mission extraordinary to his Majesty the Emperor of the French had the honour of addressing to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, under date of Sept. 19, an official note, reiterating a request for the convocation of p. Conference, consisting of the representatives of all the contracting Powers. " Agreeing to 'this request the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the,name ot- his Government, has invited the what means the assent of the allies was obtained.

"To this question, transmitted by telegraph to St. Petersburg, the Imperial Cabinet sent, back an imme diate reply in the affirmative. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wakley, the coroner, held an inquest at the Queen's Arms, Caledonian-road, Is- lington, touching the death of a man, named Thomas Billett, a labourer in the potato department of the goods station of the Great Northern Railway, at York-road, King's-cross, who died on Friday last, in the Great Northern Hospital, from the effects of injuries sustained by being jammed between the buffers of two goods trucks, on Tuesday, the 2d inst. After the coroner had heard some preliminary evi dence, he thought that the inquiry assumed so important a character, that he despatched the jury, in charge of Mr. Tubbs, the summoning officer, to view the place, and obtain, if possible, a knowledge as to how the acci dent occurred. " The) - sentiment of confidence which dictated it is honourable for the cabinet from which that reply ema nates, and for the Powers to which it is addressed. Four of them—France, England, Sardinia, and Turkey —were a short time since engaged in a sanguinary struggle agtinst Russia ; and now the Cabinet of St. Petersburg does not hesitate to trust to the honesty of the votes of those same Powers. In the same manner she seeks those of Austria and Prussia. " While this plan was the subject of confidential com munications between the different contracting Powers the urgency of an immediate meeting of their represen. tatives was evinced by a new incident. It resulted from the difference of opinion between the delegates of the contracting Powers charged with tracing the new Bessa rabian frontier. Tile Great Northern Railway Company have a large shed at the goods station, about four hundred feet long and one hundred feet wide, which is appropriated exclu• bively tl the unloading and sale of potatoes as a whole sale market. There are four lines of rails upon which the potato trucks run. Crossing the lines diagonally are four turn-tables, upon which the trucks are shifted from one line to another as occasion may require. The acci dent, which occurred in the most singular manner imaginable, happened as follows : There were two trucks upon the turn-tables adjoining each other, one being at rest, and the second swinging round. The de ceased was standing close by looking on between the two waggons, when at the same instant another man, who attends the market as an occasional dealer, came sud denly up to the second turn-table, and the truck, being in the full sweep round, one of its buffers struck him so forcibly as to knock him with considerable violence against the deceased man Billett, which stayed his further progress. Billett, however, receiving the blow unawares and unexpectedly from the other man, was driven against one of the buffers of the first truck, which was in a state of rest, and, before he could recover himself, the second, which was in motion all this time, caught him across the belly, and between ne buffers of both trucks he was jammed so severely as to cause death. He was ulti mately removed to the Great Northern Hospital, but his injuries were so severe that he expired in a few days. •When the jury visited the station, Mr. Field, the company's m anager i n that part of the station, complied with the request of Mr. Tubbs, the summoning officer, g on and had two trucks pl ace d upon the turn-tables, exactly the leve l as th in the position w hi c h they occupied at the time the acci adnentto)kplace.being From n this same vas easilyseen e therails d turn-tables general floor of the shad, that no precautions in the form of rail or fence would be of the least utility in preventing simi lar accidents in future, whilst such intended safeguards would greatly interfere with and incommode the ordinary commercial business of the market. Upon the return of the jury, the Coroner asked if any, and what, suggestions could be proposed to prevent a recurrence of these accidents " All the Cabinets that signed the treaty of Paris have thus been called upon to give a faithful and sincre inter pretation to the engagements contracted in common. " For its part the Court of Russia has the satisfaction of feeling that it facilitated their execution, that it even went beyond the obligations which fell to its lot from the text of the Treaty of Peace. Here is the proof thereof : " The Ottoman Porte expressed the wish that the islands of the delta of the Danube might be placed under her direct authority, instead of being annexed to Mol davia, as arranged by Article 21. The other Powers supported that request. The Court of Russia declared its willingness to adhere to it. ^" If hitherto their labours bad tended towards a satisfactory and prompt conclusion, it is fair to point out the part taken by Russia towards that result. " Whenever the delegates for the settlement of the frontier line came upon a local difficulty, which they could not settle on their own responsibility, an immediate de- cision, sent by order of the Czsr, raised their doubts and rendered their work easy in a perfect spirit of con. ciliation. In support of this truth it will suffice to mention two facts. . " It also showed an equal desire of removing the difficulties which arose on the subject of the state of possession of the Serpents' Island, upon which the Treaty of Paris was silent. This question cannot give rise to any controversy as soon as the representatives of the signing Powers mat in conference shall be called upon to give it a final solution by common consent. " The Court of Russia has learnt that the delegates charged to trace the Bessarahian frontier have been oc cupied with the importance which the position of Bolgrad might acquire in a military point of view. As soon as this was made known to the Emperor his Majesty deigned to authorise his commissaries to declare that it was not his intention to fortify that town. " Finally, in the expectation of the decisions of the Conference of Paris on the points which remain to be settled to terminate the tracing of the new frontier, the Emperor has given orders to his commissaries that as soon as the labours of the commission are over on the spot itself, the territory which falls to Moldavia is to be immediately made over to the Moldavian authorities, without delay, and even without waiting for the signing of the final convention.' W" According to Art. 20 the neT frontier, starting at one kilometre from the lake of Bourna-Sola, was to rejoin perpendicularly the Akermann road. That line cut in two Lake Hadji-Ibrahim, and left Lake Basiriam entirely to Russia. The inspection of the localities showed the defect of such delimitation. "The Imperial Cabinet allowed its delegates to remedy this inconvenience, sa as to include the two lakes in the Moldavian territory. "Again, the 20th Art, made the frontier end at Kata mori, on the Pruth. The text of the treaty did not ex press whether that place was to belong to Russia or to be given to Moldavia. The Imperial Cabinet obviated that difficulty by allowing Katamori to be joined to the Principality. "But more than this. At the Paris Congress the tracing of the new frontier has already been adopted in Conference, when the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, of France, and of Great Britain proposed an amendment, according to which the frontier was to terminate at some distance north of Ratamori. The Russian Plenipoten- tiaries could not consent to that proposition, as the boundary indicated in 'Article 20 had already received the Emperor's sanction. "Assembled on the spot, the Austrian, French, Eng lish, and Ottoman delegates renewed the amendment which had not been adopted in Conference. The Imperial " Conformably to this order, the boundary line upon which the delegates are agreed by the preliminary con vention of the 30th of August shall be put into execu tion at once. There will only remain two points to be decided—that of the Upper Yalpuck and that of Bol grad. The commissaries await the solution of those two points to complete their work. " Surely it shall not be said that the Cabinets of Eu rope, after having given the blessings of peace to the civilised world by their mutual agreement at the Paris Congress, shall now hesitate to meet again in spite of conciliation and concord for the just settlement of two secondary questions reduced to so simple a matter that two sittings would suffice to settle them ? " All the Cabinets have a common interest'in expedit ing this conclusion, so as to do away with the causes which have hitherto contributed to delay the execution res oe the rs p of the Treaty of Paris in more tha n one of its essential stipulations. "The Danubian Principalities e s p eciall y ea g erl y await the moment when their nationa l and inde p endent admi nistration guaran teed by the contracting Powers, shall receive the fi na l sanction promised to them by the 24th and 25th articles of the T reat y of Paris. ,Their hop es , founded upon the faith of that European transaction, de serve an equitable consideration.

A term of six months was eventually fixed. Some recommended a railing round the turn-tables, whilst others, entertaining more practical ideas, thought that the danger would be greatly lessened by the adop tion of a rule fixing the time when trucks were to be placed upon the turn-tables, and one of the company's officers to stand by and keep persons away until such trucks as were required to be shifted had passed the lines. One of the jury stated that he had been told on the spot that hundreds of people crowded the sheds during market hours, and the turning of these truck s s till went on amidst the ordinary business, and which made the place extremely dangerous, especially to women. The Coroner said that some day the question would be tried in a court of law, by relatives suing for damages in the case of an accident, when a verdict would be given that would cost the company as much in five minutes as the expense of protection would in 20 years. The jury ultimately found the death to be an acci dental one, and signed a recommendation to the effect, that the railway company should adopt some protection at the turn-tables. The proceedings then terminated. Cabinet authorised its delegates to adhere to that plan which gives to Moldavia a greater extent of frontier along the Pruth than that prescribed by the text of the treaty. By means of these transactions, freely and frankly consented to by the Imperial Cabinet, the frontier line was completed in more than three-quarters of its whole extent. Only two gaps remained to be filled up. "With this object the commissioners, on the strength of their united labours, drew up and signed on the 30th of August a preliminary convention, giving an account of all points;upon which they were agreed, and especially of those which need a final decision on the part of the contracting Powers. " This convention submits to the judgment of the Cabinets four alternatives left to their choice. This plan is founded upon a system of compensation so cleverly combined that each of the two parties interested obtains geographically the same surface of ground, whatever may be the alternative selected by the Cabinets. "As regards the first point, the text of the treaty in dicated the river Yalpuck as the frontier line. In its course, at a place called Andreeska, the river splits into two arms, one bearing the name of Yalpuck, the other that of Yalpuckhel. The letter of the treaty implies the former ; the other arm would give a more s e e n r l v a e r d g e t cl h is frontier ciue s ti o t n o ftlro thelda via solution T h The of delegates the cabi n h e a t s v . e re - "As regards the second point in dispute, that of the dtoewtenrmoifnßeotlhgirs ci ad u , e a st c io o n. nsid l er t at i i s on th o i. f s go W od h f e a n ith th s e eemsto Con gress came to discuss and decree in principal the new frontier line, the Russians frankly declared the import ance of not taking away the town of Bolgrad from the Bulgarian colonies of which it is the capital.

It is really wonderful how much that is absurd and how much thatis base canbe concealed, wrapped up, and overlaid by the pomp of diplomatic diction, and carried off by the authority of a great and powerful Government. The Cabinet of St. Peters burg has presented to Europe a note which they doubtless think calculated to raise their character and estimation. It is couched in language of the most guarded moderation, is of considerable length, is full of professions of the most exuberant good faith, and is altogether so exceedingly decorous, so smooth, and so respectable that one can hardly be lieve that it is prepared in any spirit except that of candour shrinking from misrepresentation, and • good faith that shudders at the bare idea of a doubt or a surmise of its sincerity. And yet we venture to say that out of this document itself, with little aid except the very slightest knowledge of geo graphy and the most superficial acquaint ance w ith the history of the last few years, with far less indus try than has been bestowed on the deciphering of ancient inscriptions and the interpretationof doubt- fulx tr x ttes din which a deep estinigilb a Russiaa m e meaning with the disgrace, and leave her diplomacy subject, on its own showing, to the charge of the meanest eva etecilcieilt would historians,co ver sion s and subterfuges, alike disingenuousaud superfi cial. E ver yb o dy knows that any of the main causes of the war was that Russia, having possession of the Sulina mouth of the Danube, used herpower to close up that mouth altogether, and that one of the prin cipal condi t i ons o f peace was that Russia should retire entirely from the Danube, and leave it wholly in the possession of Turkey. After the con clusion of peace Russia nevertheless endeavoured to occupy the Isle of S er p en t s , an attempt in which she was entirely outmanoeuvred and de feated iby the English fle e t. B u t now s h e puts for ward n justification the assertion that there was no express stipulation in the treaty t o mee t t h e case of an island, although the possession of that island would have entirely neutralised all the pro visions so earnestly insisted upon with regard to the free navigation of the Danube. Men who in terpret treaties in this manner should do so at the point of the sword, but for the vanquished thus to seek to elude 'their obligations is alike futile and discreditable. - Z jt7lC4 rf As for the question of the ratification of the Bessarabian frontier, Russia seems to feel that she is not superfluously strong in moral force, and she accordingly proceeds to take credit for having yielded in matters not worth disputing. On one occasion the frontier line cut a lak• in two, but Russia was too generous to squabble about half a lake, and ceded it to Mol davia without a struggle. On another occasion doubts were entertained whether the town of Katamori belonged to Moldavia or not. Russia was once more magnanimous, and whatever may be comprehended in the name of Katamori passed for ever into the dominions of Mol davia. And here we must stop for a moment to burden our minds of the fulness of respectful admiration. Half a lake and awhole village !—who could believe that a Power capable of such a sur render could nourish guile or deceit, or be capable of even the most 'justifiable artifice ? We now ap proach the case of Bolgrad at every possible disad vantage. Russia looks down upon us from a pin• uacle of moral superiority, and almost persuades us that it is wicked to doubt the intention or interpre tations of so virtuous a Power. The question is, shall the boundary between Moldavia and Russia pass north or south of the town of Bolgrad We say north, Russia says south, observing in her win ning way,what we heartily agree to, that it is " a question merely of good faith." Russia appeals to good faith, and by the principles of good faith we are content that she should be judged. She declared at the Congress frankly, as she says, or, as we may paraphrase it, with her usual frankness, that it was important not to separate Bolgrad from the Bul garian colonies of Russia, of which it was the capi tal. To this the allies assented, arid Russia, iu a spirit of good faith, as she calls it, requires the performance of the agreement and is scandalized that any demur can be made to so reasonable a proposition. We should be scandalized too if we were not informed immediately afterwards by ' l / 4 . 11 S It appears from the Russian Note that this asseut was obtaiaed impaction of maps —maps which Russia herself did not pro vide, but which were provided by the French Go vernment. If the maps were faulty, the fault was none of Russia's. Moreover, her frank declara tion that she meant to keep Bolgrad, the capital of the Bulgarian colonies, put an end to the possibi lity of cavil. were statement. fauty, First, and Now, let us see what Russia admit s i n thi s very sghueardaeddmaintsd that t ful th lyewordedmaps strengthens the admission by protesting against being supposed to be responsible for their produc tion ; next, she states that the fault consisted in this, that the town of Bolgrad, instead of being si tuated at some distance from Lake Yalpuck, a back- .--- _ water of the Danube, as delineated in the map, actually touched the northern extremity of the lake ; and, thirdly, she does not deny, and by not denying admits, that she well aware of this error of the map at the time she made the agreement with the Allies, and used her knowledge to over reach and deceive them. Russia stands upon her agreement that the boundary line should be drawn to the south of Bolgrad, the capital of the Bulga rian colonies, and this agreement she obtained, first by suppressing the truth that Bolgrad, the capital of the Bulgarian colonies, communicates by Lake Yalpuck with the Danube ; and, secondly, by the false suggestion that the Bolgrad which was shown on the map is the same Bolgrad which she bargains to retain, instead of being an insignificant village, which, now that its name on the map has answered its purpose, she will not condescend to call by that name, b ut con temptuously desig nates as a place called Tabak. It was Bolgrad when we were to be induced to'draw the boundary line to the south of it ; it is Tabak when we are to ignore its existence, and substitute for it the place it so usefully represented. used, and We cannot stoop to analyse further this most shabby and pitiful manifesto. Ministers of State can, it appears, be guilty of frauds for which an then e d l e a d i from m the ' Change, execution or ofa a gentleman agreement attorney would be struck off the rolls, a merchant well imagine of his position in society.

The device succeeded for th e moment, but it was at once too clumsy and insolent to prevail atter it had been thoroughly Fxposed. Ouranswer Russia must be, that if she comes for good to faith she must practise good t faith ; that an agreement obtained by fraudulent suppression of the true and suggestion of the false is no agreement at all, but a mere trick and circumvention ;' that an agreement implies the concurrence of two wills on the same thing, whereas the Bolgrad t hat she spoke of g, was a different place from the Bolgrad that we k ePe e of and different, not by accident, but by he r d ' esig nand practice.

THE COMING CONFERENCES. lc Nord has an article explaining the defeat which Russian diplomacy has sustained in the Bolgrad dispute : "In the beginning of the difficulty, France, which was impartial, leaned to the Russian inter pretation ; but for the purpose of conciliation sought for a compromise in combination which ap peared to her ought to satisfy all these angry rivals. Sardinia used the same language as France. Prussia never admitted the interpretation of Aus tria and England, which she even severely con demned. Opinions, therefore, were thus divided; on the one side Turkey, sustained with violence and the must absolute tone by Austria and Eng land, and on the other side Russia, supported with firmness by Prussia, and with more reserve by France and Sardinia. . proposed to ap re p ri e t a i l es b t e a d ck i t t o s the it Congressus "Russia itself, then anal formally re assembly. The proposition was equally agreeable astened to France, Austria, England, and Turkey h to decline the offer of Russia ; Turkey, in guarded and equivocal language; Austria, by wrapping its refusal in hon e y e d f orms ; and England, with dis dainful and insolent arrogance. The attitude of England covered the weakness of Turkey and the hypocrisy of Austria. England placed herself at the head of the resistance, and, at the same time, addressed severe reprimands to the Cabinet of Berlin and ;he Cabinet of Turin. The latter, how ever, could not do much. We have already men tioned the tone of these representations of tingland, couched in a style humiliating, and filled with menace for the two Courts. Prussia was firm ; and England, by way of punishing her, has taken upon herself to support Switzerland in the Neuchatel question. Everything, therefore, depended upon France and Sardinia. Under these circumstances, the question is insoluble. The following is the mode of extrication that has been adopted, the honour of which is due to the Cabinet of the Tuileries : " That Cabinet explained itself frankly at the Court of St. Petersburg, and the consequence of those explanati ons was , th at Russia was far more concerned in the point of honour than in a material or political interest. The Cabinet of the Tuileries, interpreting this language and attitude of Russia, perceived that a decision of the majority of the plenipotentiaries would relieve the Russian Go vernment of its embarrassment ; and that, while it would only occasion to Russia an unimportant sacrifice, and the necessity of an honourable re treat, it would entail upon Austria and upon En land the obligation of withdrawing the armie s which occupy the Principalities, and the fleets which occupy the Black Sea. In this point of view, the French Cabinet, in lending itself to the forma tion of a majority against Russia, remained faith ful to its policy, because, without doing any essen tial damage to Russia, it put an end to causes which might threaten the peace of Europe. " But how to form beforehand that majority de manded byEngland as the conditions without which neither she, nor Austria, nor Turkey, would con sent to take part in the new Conferences ? If I am well informed, this has been the subject of an understanding between the Cabinets of Paris and Turin. A little negotiation has taken place between these Cabinets. Its object was to deter mine the Cabinet of Turin to follow that of the Tuileries, to hold the same language as that of the Tuileries in the future Conference, and to maintain the same attitude. The Cabinet of,Turin yielded. " Tho3e, then, who persuade themselves that the Plenipotentiaries of the Seven Powers will assist at the Conference, with liberty of judgment and inde pendence of mind, to pronounce judicially on the in.erpretation of one or two Articles of the Treaty of Paris, indulge in strange illusions. Ten points, which have been the subject of debate, are now de cided, and decided against Russia by a majority of five votes to two. Russia knows it, and rightly persists in her design of bringing the question be fore the Conference, and of accepting the resolu tions which shall be adopted by the majority of the Plenipotentiaries. On some future day Russia will have her turn ; to-day it is England's. In its last stages the discussion presented for decision a queAioLL of form and a question or substance. Eng land obtains the substance and willingly al3andons the form—that is what she often does, and she finds it answer well." MR. TV. WILLIAMS AND HIS CWVSTITUENTS Last night, at the invitation of Mr. Williams, M.P. for Lambeth, a number of his constituents met him at the Lecture-hall, in order to hear from the hon. gentleman an account of his Parliamentary conduct during the past ses sion. Mr. Williams, on entering the hall, accompanied by many of his leading supporters, was received with loud cheering. • Mr. F. DOULTON, who presided, observed that although all the constituents of Mr. Williams might not approve every vote be had given, he was sure they would all feel thankful to their hon. representative for affording them the opportunity of meeting him on that occasion, and of ascertaining his opinions upon the subjects which were likely to be brought before Parliament during the ensuing session, while they were enabled to express their views candidly and openly upon any public questions in which they were interested. Ur. WerseieMs said he had invited his constituents to meet him in order that, if they thought fit, they might have an opportunity of demanding any explanation of his conduct, as their representative during the last session of Parliament. He might state that he had attended in his place in the House of Commons every day and every night throughout the session, without a single exception. During the last session Parliament had done less than during any session since the passing of the Reform Act to meet the wants and wishes of the people. The session, however, had not been a very short one, for it lasted exactly six months; but many measures which had led to protracted discussions had been introduced without any real intention on the part of their promoters to enrol them on the sta tute-beok. During the early part of the session the Go vernment were occupied in the negotiations for peace, and as the sympathies of both houses of Parliament! were with them very little business was done; but peace was con cluded on the 30th of March, before the time when the work of the session ordinarily commenced. The negotia tions, therefore, had not prevented either the Government or individual members of the House of Commons from pro• posing important measures of reform; but there had been a disposition to procrastinate and to consume time without effecting these legislative improvements which were de manded by the country. Peace had, undoubtedly, been regarded by all as a most desirable object, and it was a great blessing; but in his opinion there was great cause for dissatisfaction with the peace which had been obtained by the sacrifice in two years of 00,000,0001., and by the sacrifice also of the finest army that had ever left the I shores of England, not in conflict with the enemy, but through the gross and shameful mismanagement of the G,.- verninent at house, and of the officers who had been ap pointed by Vast Government to command abroad. (Cheers.) He would, however, do her Majesty's Government thejus tice to soy, that he believed the decision of the questions which were the subject of negotiation did not rest entirely with them, but that the Government of France had much to du with the abandonment of those important de mands which, iu his opinion, ought to have been made conditions of peace. The armies 311 fleets of Franco ane England were no sooner withdrawn from the territory and coasts of Rustic than she repudiated sonic of the more im portant conditions of the peace. Another Congress was consequently to be held. Some people were apprehensive that fresh hostilities might take place, but Russia had not money to go to war with—(hear, hear) —and, although he had no doubt there would be a good deal of talk, he hoped that a settlement would be effected in accordance with the principles formerly laid down by her Majesty's Govern ment. (Cheers.) Some 12J acts had received the assent or the Legislature during the last session, but there were few of them in which his constituents would feel muchiuterest. Among those acts was one important immure—the Joint Stuck Companies Act —which established the principle of limited liability, and enabled persons of small capital to embark in business without risking more thau the sum they actually subscribed. (Hear, hear.) Some of jectionable measures were thrown out, while other objectionable measures were passed, and a great deal of mischief was done by the rejection by the House of Lords of important bills which had received the assent of the House of Commons. Among these was the Appellate Jurisdiction Bill, which was intended to remedy the notorious defects of the House of Lords as a court of appeal. Another measure, relating to a subject in which the great macs of the industrious classes felt deg) interest, was thrown out. The Government brought in a bill for the removal of the National Gallery, upon which enormous sums had been expended, from Tra falgar-square to Kensington -gore. (Hear.) That project wan promoted by Prince Albert and his party in the Court —(hear, and cheers)—it was supported by the Government and all their. tools, and it was also supported by the Oppo sition, headed by Mr. bierieeli t and ,iii,h}lta g ols- (cheers and laughter)—but the independent members were too strong even for that combination, and the gill was thrown out. (Renewed cheers.) If the bill had been carried it would have led to an enormous outlay of the public money and to the entire exclusion of the great body of the people from the gallery containing those treasures of art which were the property of the nation, for a man would lose nearly the whole day in walking from Lambeth to the proposed site at Kensington-gore and back again. (Cheers.) Few persons besides those who kept carriages, or who could afford to pay for vehicles, would, therefore, have been enabled to visit the Gallery. Ho was sorry to sey that there was a strong desire, which was increasing year by yeer, among the aristocratic class, to keep the people at as great a distance from them as possible, and to de prive them of enjoyments to which they were entitled. The Kensington -gore job was one of the grossest of which he had ever heard. 347,0001. had already been spent in the purchase of land, and, although he had made inquiries of the Government, they would not say what further amount they meant to .expend. He could, however, as sure his constituents that he would oppose the scheme to the very utmost of his power. (Cheers.) The removal of the Gallery was defended on the ground that in Trafalgar square the pictures were injured by smoke ; but experi ments had been made by Professor Faraday and other t a c n h a e e io e i r s t t a s i , m w l y h , who e d r e i n n i g e d a t h g a r e t a t smoke polt i a o ff n e c o t f e affected h t e h e ypeiacr et u m r i e n s e , n • t in he T re ra w fa a i s g e o. qs.emiui:re. (Cheers hsmokeht liimd laughter.)ensington- The Housereastherew o as f, Lords struck out of tke Cambridge University Bill a clause inserted in the House of Commons, admitting Dissenters to the University, and giving them important privileges (cries of "Shame !")—and their lordships also threw out a bill which had passed the House of Commons for admitting Jews to seats in that House. (Hear, hear.) Several im portant clauses were struck out of the Metropolis Local Management Bill in the House of Lords, and he had voted for disagreeing with the Lords' amendments. The ' most objectionable measure passed during the last session was, in his opinion, the Counties and Boroughs Police Bill, which rendered the establishment of a. police force compulsory, and conferred upon the Home Secretary the power of making such regulations for the government of the police as in point of fact gave him the entire control of that force; but the measure encountered so much oppo sition that Sir G. Grey withdrew some of the more objec tionable clauses. He (Mr. Williams) thought this was a movement which ought to be cautiously watched, or they mighthave such a police as now existed in France, in Aus tria, abd in Naples. (Cheers.) After the bill was passed the reason of its proposal became known. The Government was about to concentrate the army, which was now scattered over the country in great camps at Aldershot, Shorncliffe, I the Curragh of Kildare, and other places, where, in imita tion of the plan pursued by continental despots, the sol diers would be kept entirely from contact with the people. No less than 1,600,0001. had been voted during the last two years - for building barracks and huts for the soldiers in those great camps, and it was stated that accommodation eves to be provided at Aldershot for from 30,000 to 40,000 men. A splendid pavilion had been erected for the Qteen in the midst of that great camp (laughter)-- aed her Majesty had remained there with her Court for days and nights, entertaining the officers at dinner, and inspecting the soldiers on parade. A few weeks ago lie saw an account in the public newspapers of her Majesty having gone down to the Pavilion, and having witnessed in the camp a theatrical performance, the players being officers of the different regiments. This he thought was a novel course to be pursued by a Sovereign of England. Last year upwards of 40,000 men—soldiers of the line and militia, including artillery, cavalry, and infantry—were stationed at Aldershot, and the Government obtained a vote from the House of Commons of 7,3001. to pay the Hampshire and Surrey police for taking care of these 40,000 soldiers. (Laughter.) It was reported, and he was sorry to say with some foundation, that the Government intended to saddl e th e country with a much larger army than had for mer l y been maintained in a ti me o f peace .

After referring to the necess i ty for a consolidation of the statute law, and the reformation or abolition of the ecclesiastical courts, and complaining of the wasteful expen diture of,public money by Governments, M r. Williams said he would only refer to one more subject;--tile iricoeue tax. He had always regarded the assessments of the profits of trades and professions at the same rate with landed property as unjust, and he had during the last session voted for the
