' LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1854. LORD ABERDEEN'S IMPEACHMENT hear,' and laughter). I cannot, however, help thinking, as I have before stated, that the speech of my noble and learned friend would have been more appropriate before we became engaged in this war." pets in the hands of the latter) were, by the instinct of self-preservation, driven to fight the battle of national independence in Europe against the first Napoleon. But no sooner was Napoleon overthrown—less by their hos tile efforts than by the defection of the European peoples —than the Emperor of Russia and Metternich changed sides, and became the most inveterate enemies of inde pendent nationality in Europe. Metternich and two successive Russian Emperors have devoted all their energies to the crushing of "nationality" in Europe. No means of accomplishing their object have been too base for them to grasp at. The deliberate and pal. pable lies by which Nicholas has within these few months shocked the moral sense of Europe, are not grosser than those to which Metternich had recourse in 1822 to blacken the characters of the constitutionalists of Germany. Since 1815 the Russian Emperors and Metternich have been the relentless foes and persecutors of those inde pendent nationalities of which, for a few short months— in the period of their adversity—they affected to be the champions. Vet Lord Aberdeen—not contented with his previous puling eulogiums of the Czar—took upon him, in the debate raised by Lord Lyndhurst, to main tain that the professions of Austria are worthy of credit and reliance, because they are inspired by Metternich --by Metternich, whose whole career has proved him destitute of the sagacity which taught Talleyrand that diplomatic falsehoods injured only those who uttered them—by Metternich who has sowed lies broadcast round him during his whole career. Since Lord Aber deen has shown himself so besotted as still to pin his faith to Metternich, it becomes more and more incum bent upon Englishmen to be ever wakeful to avert the danger of England being entangled in the trammels of some insidious treaty, and led captive to fight for govern ments against nationalities. When Ministers proclaim, with unction and emphasis, that the task at present on hand is simply to repel the aggressions of Russia and secure the independence of the Ottoman State, they pro claim a part of the truth. The re-adjustment of the political balance between nationalities and governments in Europe is not yet on the Lapis, and it is not therefore for practical statesmen—for men in office—to deal with it. But no man of average common sense can fail to see that this wider question is about to emerge out of the special controversy between Russia and Turkey, Turn where we will we see new indications rising up. The eager ness of Austria to purchase, by feigned compliance, the sanction of France and England to the permanent extinc tion of Italian and Hungarian nationality; the ominous con vulsive movements in the fettered body of Poland ; nay, the puny attempts of the little kinglets of Germany to assert their Lilliputian dignities against the offensively coarse dictatorial language of Austria and Prussia—all point to what is coming. It is not for the Governments of France and England to act or speak prematurely. Time will mature events better than Cabinets can ; but it is for the publics of France, and England, and of all Europe, to fix their thoughts on the great events that are impending, in order that when the time comes, they may be able to acquit themselves like men ; and it is for the journalist, untrammelled by the responsibilities of office or the formalities of etiquette, to act up to his high vocation by inviting his fellow-citizens to such pre paratory studies. - - (From the Daily Xelos.) Mr. Layard, last night, having intimated that he will on Thursday next move a resolution to the effect that the language recently held by Lord Aberdeen in the House of Lords is of a nature to disturb the public mind on the subject of the war, and lessen the prospect of an honour able and durable peace, the noble President of the Coun cil rose—in the same hot haste, in which Sidney Smith was wont sneeringly to allege that he would take com mand of the Channel fleet,—to declare that precedence would be given on Thursday to the motion. A feature in Lord John Russell's character is the chivalrous promptitude with which he on all occasions rises in sup port of a colleague who may be attacked. There are men who can be leagued in office with others for a life time, and yet in the event of any attack being made upon them, pause to calculate how their own position is likely to be thereby affected ere they hasten to the rescue ; if indeed they do not, as Rochefoucauld has it, betray something like pleasuzo at the mishaps of their "best friends." There is no such temporising in Lord John's disposition ; a colleague in a scrape is sure of assistance from him. Even the excessive indulgence of such a dis position is a fault that leans to the side of virtue ; and yet, regard being had to its consequences, it may be occasionally a grave fault in a statesman notwithstand ing. The peremptory baste with which Lord John last night rushed forward to lift the gauntlet .thrown down by Mr. Layard is calculated to excite uneasy misgivings. It is to be hoped that between this and Thursday cool reflection will have enabled Lord John to recollect that in his position other duties devolve upon him than to champion a l'outrance any blundering or offending colleague. Lord John is at this moment the chief member of the Ministry to whom the anti-Russian party look with confidence : it is his presence in the Cabinet that supports the hopes of true Englishmen when depressed by the anile twaddle of the Premier. It is a duty Lord John owes to the Government of which he is a member, to his country, and to the great cause in support of which the country is now putting forth its military strength, to beware of doing anything that can compromise his character in this respect. Let him on Thursday, if be likes, make out as good a case for the Cabinet as he can ; but let him beware of com mitting himself to all the follies of his chief. The language indulged in by Lord Aberdeen, in the debate on Lord Lyndhurst's motion, admits of no ex cuse. It was a laboured eulogium pronounced upon a lawless despot with whom the country is now at war, by the Minister to whom the conduct of that war has been entrusted—it was a vindication of the shuffling policy of which Austria is more than suspected -the policy of affecting to join in the pursuit of the Czar in order to gain an opportunity of retarding his pursuers and favouring his escape. If Lord Aberdeen really en tertains the opinion of the Emperor of Russia, and of that monarch's conduct in the Turco-Russian difficulties, which his lordship expressed in the debate on Lord Lyndhurst's motion, it is disgraceful in him to occupy the high post he now holds. If Lord Aberdeen really holds these opinions, he ought to be opposed to the war in which we are engaged ; and, being so opposed, he ought to have resigned as soon as the Cabinet resolved to wage war. If Lord Aberdeen really approves of the hollow and equivocating policy by which Austria seeks to assist the Czar to escape scatheless from the scrape into which he has run himself, the presumption is that he will exert all his official power and influence to pro mote that policy—that, in other words, he will try to thwart the national resolve which has decreed that the Czar shall be so effectually punished as to secure Europe from a repitition of his offence. If Lord Aberdeen's wm ds are anything more than empty wind he is on the very verge of existence, directing a war of which he disapproves, for the merely selfish purpose of retaining his grasp of power —and he is as false to his country as to his own consci ence, inasmuch as he is watching for an opportunity to befriend the Czar in violation of the trust reposed in him by the country. On the assumption that Lord Aberdeen sincerely and earnestly meant what his words imply, he is all that has been here said of him ;- on the assumption that he did not mean what his words imply, the man who could expose himself by meaningless and discreditable talk, in Parliament, when a weighty and animating question was under discussion, must have reached the period of life at which it is dangerous to entrust men with the management of business. At a perilous crisis like the present, it is not to be tolerated that the reins of government should be left in the hands of one who is either a traitor or a dotard. We pass by, as utterly unworthy of notice, the stupid attempt at wit which found its ponderous ebullition in the repetition of a joke of some man of wit, with whom Lord Aberdeen gravely assures us he was once ac quainted. Upon such a point Lord Aberdeen is at last safe from a retort ; no one ever will mistake his lordship for a colonel of dragoons, or for any other character that requires either courage or manhood. But let us seriously ask, is this state of things to con tinue ? Here we have the Prime MLaster asserting, in the House of Peers, that a philippic against Russia is a grave offence ; that to excite the military ardour of the people is indecorous and improper. Is it not a waste of words to ask whether such a man is fit to preside over our councils when we are engaged in a war in which it may be—nay, in which it is —necessary to excite all the military ardour of the nation in defence of its liberties and rights ? This is the speech of a friend of Russia. The words involve an accusation of little less than treason. But who, but a friend of Russia, would now complain of attacks upon the policy of that power? Who, but a traitor to England, deprecate and sneer at arguments which establish that the cause of resistance to Russia is the cause of human freedom ? The sneer was as absurd as it was impertinent. Lord Lyndhurst was deprecating the attempt to patch up a peace with Russia without exacting securities for the future. To this, the object of his speech, every one of hip arguments were directly relevant. He showed the necessity of such securities by exposing the constant and invariable policy of Russia to be one aiming at the sub jugation of continental Europe. Now, we cannot help thinking that ifs is just because it did demonstrate this, that Lord Aberdeen denounced the speech of Lord Lyndhurst as inopportune. We are quite sure that Lord Aberdeen not only contemplates, but is pledged, to a peace which will not exact from Russia securities for the future. Let any man, if he can, assign any other reason for the condemnation of the speech of Lord Lyndhurst— a speech of which the only fault could be that it conclusively established their necessity. But upon this subject we are not left to conjecture. Lord Aberdeen distinctly told the British House of Lords that he did not believe the success of the enterprise of Nicholas would endanger the security of Europe. Again we must quote his words. After stating the usual cant about the "integrity and independence cf the Porte," he proceeded to observe that Ministers would endeavour to obtain "so far as reasonable (!) what is called (! !) the security of Europe." But here are his words : " All I can say is this, that at all times we shall direct our efforts to the obtaining of the great objects which we have in view—the security, the integrity, and the independence of the Porte, and, as far as is reasonable, what is called the security of Europe, which, however, I cannot say I feel is very much endangered by the chance of the success of Russian aggression. Let me remind my noble and learned friend, that even by that disastrous treaty of Ad rianople, to which he has referred—a treaty signed when the Russian troops were within 50 miles of Constantinople —let me remind him that even by that treaty, most one rous and most disastrous as I admit it to have been, Russia made no fresh acquisition of Turkish territory. (Marks of dissent.) I know that Russia acquired two or three small posts in Asia by the treaty, but she did not gain one inch of territory in Europe. ( The Danube, from a noble lord.) There is the case of the Danube, no doubt. I have already said in this house that I believe nobody has de scribed the treaty of Adrianople as more disastrous than I have done myself. But I say, that considering the position of the Russian army, almost at the gates of Constantinople, that was a treaty which certainly did not show any great desire for territorial aggrand sement. And what has hap pened since? That treaty was signed 25 years ago; and since that time has Russia acquired a single inch of Turkish territory ?—has Russia been engaged in any hos tilities at all with Turkey ? None in the world. The only interference Russia had with Turkey was to save the existence of the Turkish empire, by sending a Russian army to Constantinople to protect it against the Egyptian invasion. That is all that has happened since the treaty of Adrianople. Now, give me leave to say that the treaty of Adrianople was signed 25 years ago, and no war, no aggres sion, has taken place ; but, on the other hand, signaser vice has been rendered by Russia to Turkey. I think that if wo can secure the same result for 25 years to come we shall not do amiss, and th a t, I b e lieve, is the object which we ought to have in view." We have quoted this passage at length. It gives the people of England fair notice of the treason that exists in the very bosom of the Cabinet. A rather curious scene was witnessed in the House of Lords last night, which it is not easy to dissociate from Mr. Layard's notice of motion. At a time when some other business, or no business, was on hand—when cer tainly none of the noble lords present were speaking of Russia and matters therewith connected—possibly none of them thinking of such matters, Lord Aberdeen sud denly rose—visibly in a state of anxious excitement—and gave notice that on Monday next he would Move for the p,oduetion of tho despatch formerly addressed by him to the Russian Government on the subject of the treaty of Adrianople. As this incident occurred but a short time after Mr. Layard had given notice of his Thursday's motion, in the House of Commons—and as the care taken by Ministers, in either House of Par liament, to have early intelligence of anything said or done in the other that affects them personally is well known—this intimation on the part of Lord Aberdeen looks very like a preparation to make an anticipatory defence before his accuser can be heard. Such precipitancy looks marvellously like a conscience ill at ease, or at the least like a consciousness of a totter. ing tenure of office. What on earth has this antiquated despatch to do with the question of Lord Aberdeen's present sayings and doings in relation to the present war ? Granted that Lord Aberdeen felt and judged the conduct of Russia in the treaty of Adrianople like a gentleman and statesman—can that be any extenuation of his imbecile folly in extenuating its rapacity and falsehood of the last two years- of his special pleading to allow it to escape with as light a penalty as possible ? To every charge of vacillation, insincerity, or incapacity in his conduct as Premier in relation to the present war, Lord Aberdeen has never had more than one answer : "At the time of the treaty of Adrianople I wrote a despatch so anti-Russian that it would make your hair stand on end could you but read it." This is the same plea that one sotnetime hears advanced for the mitigation of the punishment of a convict—that though the delinquent has certainly been proved guilty of a heinous offence, yet he was virtuous (or appeared to be so) many years ago. The plea is uniformly scouted in the case of the convict. Will it avail the Premier ? The Prline Minister has explicitly declared that he does not believe the attempt of Russia upon Turkey to involve the security of Europe. That he does not believe in the necessity of exacting conditions of peace which will give us any guarantee for the future. That he does not believe that "we will do amiss" — these are the very words—if we end this war by a treaty like that of Adrianople , whin 7 h Russia dictated at the gates of Constantinople. On the contrary, he has explicitly said that this is " the object we all should have in view. Tuese statements have been authoritatively made by the Prime Minister, in his place in the House of Peers. We ask of Lord John Russell, does he assent to them as a declaration of Ministerial policy ? We ask, are these his conditions of "a just, a solid, and an honour able peace ?" We ask of Lord Palmerston, does he believe that the aggressions of Russia threaten no danger to the security of Europe ? We ask of both these statesmen, can they with honour serve under Lord Aberdeen, and abhor, as in their hearts and souls they do, the language in which he, as Prime Minister, has announced the policy of Government. We ask a greater question of the people of these countries--How long will they endure the utterer of these traitorous sentiments at the head of the councils of the Queen ? The speech of Lord Aberdeen has not the merit of originality ; it is a paraphrase, and a clumsy one, of one of the dispatches of Count Nesselrode, in which the Russian statesman attempts to prove the very point which Lord Aberdeen labours to establish—that Russia has no designs upon Turkey inconsistent with " what is called the security of Europe." He uses in that dis patch exactly the same arguments which on Monday night were addressed by Lord Aberdeen to the House of Lords. Had Count Nesselrode been a peer of Great Britain, he would have made exactly the speech which, in his absence, was pronounced for him by his friend and ally, Lord Aberdeen. ( From the Daily News of yesterday.) Lord Dudley Stuart asks for copies of the Serbian protest against th e occupation of the S er bi an t er ritory, by Austrian troops,and of the Austro-Prussian conven tion, with its additi ona l art i cle. Th e reques t is most opportune. In good time is the attention of the House of Commons called to the fact that there are nationali ties as well as governments on the continent of Europe ; and to no hands could the task of thus directing its attention be more appropriately confided than to him who has so long, so disintereAedly, and so consistently, been the advocate and champion of the down trodden nationalities of Europe. The independent nationality of the Ottoman Empire has been endangered by Muscovite aggression and the combined might of France and England has been put forth, though rather tardily, to prevent Turkey being added to the list of ex tinguished nations —to Poland, Hungary, and Italy ; but little will have been (rained for humanity if all the exer tions of the Western Powers in the Black Sea and the Baltic are to have no more worthy result than the occu pation of the Danubian Provinces by Austria instead of Russia. It may be said that Austria will be a more humane foreign administrator than Russia— though this is a point on which those who have studied the vice regal or proconsular history of Austria, from the days of Gesler to those of Radetzki, may be allowed to remain sceptical—but that is not the question. It is, whether the sovereign and subjects in each independent state shall be left to adjust their own relations free from foreign interference, or whether some foreign despot shall be allowed to obtrude his unwi,hed-for services as third's man between them and domineer over both ? This is what the Emperor of Russia claimed to do when he asserted a right to act as arbiter and umpire in all dis cussions which might arise between the Sultan and his subjects of the Greek Church. This monstrous claim has been indignantly repudiated by France and Eng land ; but wh ere will be the gain if Austria is allowed to occupy the Principalities out of which Russia is driven —if Russia is prevented from assailing the nationality of Turkey by storm or the sap, merely to leave Austria free scope to perform the feat ? The sovereignty of the Sul tan over his Danubian provinces may be weakened or destroyed by one or other o f two agencies : it may be overthrown by popu l ar di scon tent from within ; or it may be ov er th rown by fore i gn m achinations from with out. In th e f ormer case no foreigners can have any right to interfere ; sovereign and subject make up the complex idea of a state, and this internal structure of a state is the affair exclusively of the parties who rear it. If the Sultan is anxious to perpetuate his power in the valley of the Danube, and can do so by his own in ternal resources, no foreign state or government has a right to prevent him. On the other hand, if the popu lations of the valley of the Danube are tired of the mastery of the Sultan, and upset his throne by their own efforts, that too is their affair, with which no fo reigners have any title to intermeddle. But when a neighbour Sovereign seeks, by superior force, to intrude himself between the Sultan and his subjects in the val ley of the Danube—be that sovereign of the House of Romanoff or Hapsburg, it matters not—it is the right and the duty of the other states or nations of Europe to prevent him ;—for what is the fate of Turkey one day may be their own the next. The speech delivered in the House of Peers by the Earl of Aberdeen, apropos of Lord Lyndhurst's motion, proves that the duty of asserting the cause of nationali ties against governments cannot at this moment be too earnestly or too unremittingly exercised. It is clear from that speech that at the head of the Cabinet we have a disciple of Metternich, the most unscrupulous cham pion of the cause of governments against nationalities. Forty-two year s , w ith all their varied and stirring inci dents, have passed over Lord Aberdeen and left him exactly as they found him. He is a venerable political fossil imbedded in the slimy deposits of 1812, alien alike inform and substance to the. politics of the present day. In 1812 the Emperor of Russia and Metter nich Vex. the Austrian 'rnenarchs lane been AIM pup. (From the Morning Herald of yesterday.) Let us earnestly hop e that the speech delivered by Lord Aberdeen in the House of Lords on Monday night will not escape the attention of any person who is anxi ous for the honour of England. It will be remembered that the speech upon which we comment is the speech of the Premier—of the man supposed peculiarly to possess the confidence of the Crown—of the man whose advice is supposed to come to the Crown with most authority and weight ; who has, of all her Ministers, the readiest access to the Sovereign, and who is the general medium of communication between the Cabinet and the Queen. Every man who will read the speech, and who understands what the interests of England now demand, will be satisfied that those interests are not safe while the speaker of this speech retains the po sition which he now fills. We ask the attention of every Englishman to this subject. It is not one of politics or of party. It is one coming direct to that which is dear to us all—the honour and the character of our country. On Monday night the venerable Lord Lyndhurst called the attention of the peers of England to the present dangerous position of the Russian question. In doing so he pointed out, with a force and power marvellous in any man—in a man of his years miraculous—the aggressive policy which had marked the Russian dynasty for a century at least. For doing this he was rebuked by.the Premier—if it be right to apply the term rebuke to the silly impertinence with which, by Lord Aberdeen, this great man was as sailed. He was charged by the Queen's first Minister with pronouncing a philippic against Russia. It was actually true, that in the British House of Peers a nobleman, of mature age and sane mind, did snake it a charge, a matter of accusation, against Lord Lyndhurst, that he had delivered a " philippic against Russia." Lord Aberdeen, however, assigned a reason for this singular accusation. The philippic, said this choice de fender of the national honour, was out of place, because we are at war with Russia ! One would have thought that this was just the reason why it was an act of pa triotism and loyalty in Lord Lyndhurst to employ his great powers in proving that his own Sovereign was in the right, and his Sovereign's enemy in the wrong—that this was just the reason why he did good service in ex citing the spirit of the country to vigorous and deter mined resistance to. Russia. But Lord Aberdeen thinks and says that it is improper, after we are at war, to stimulate the people of this country against Russia. We must quote the very words of Lord Aberdeen to verify a statement that is almost incredible. Thus did the Premier of England comment upon one of the most powerful arguments ever addressed to any assembly to establish that the war in which we are engaged is just and necessary. These are the words of the First Mi nister of the Crown : " I think that the speech of my noble and learned friend would have boen somewhat more appropriate three months ago than it is at the present moment. At'that time it might, perhaps, have been necessary to have stimulated the antagonism and the martial feelings of the people of this country against a power with which we were not yet at war. But having become engaged in a war with Russia, I think it vvas not requisite to indulge in that eloquent and protracted philippic which ho addressed to the house in detailing the policy of the Russian Government for many years past. My noble and learned friend reminds me on this occasion of an occurrence which took place some 25 years ago. I had the pleasure of making him known to the French ambassador of that day—a man of lively ima gination and much wit—and that personage afterwards said to me, in reference to my noble and learned friend, who had then occuied the woolsack, ' Chancellor, do you call him ? surely ho must be a colonel of dragoons !' (Hear, and laughter.) Now, I think that the speech of my noble and learned friend was calculated to recall that military ardbur which he was thus formerly supposed to have pos sessed. But most happy am Ito see that he still retains A hie licrour Rd 144 mental energy (IcilfaQd crivri of kora (From, the Morning Advertiser.) The notice of motion given last night by Mr. Layard, proposing a vote of want of confidence in Lord Aber deen in consequence of his pro-Russian speech on Mon day, will create no small sensation, and afford the ut most satisfaction in all parts of the country. Lord John Russell, it will be observed, has set apart Thursday next for the motion ; and we understand the debate which will ensue will last the whole of the night. We have the best reasons for believing that the in tended vote of want of confidence will be carried by a considerable majority. The Conservatives, headed by Mr. Disraeli, will, to a man, vote for it. Mr. Disraeli will go into the question with an edifying zest, and is expected to make one of his most brilliant displays. The independent Liberals will, with the ex ception, perhaps, of two or three of the Peace Society school, vote almost to a man with Mr. Layard. Lord John Russell, we understand, feels in a position of pain ful embarrassment with regard to the motion. In his heart he must condemn, as much as any man, the anti- British speech of the Premier ; but, as a colleague, he will be under a conventional necessity to attempt to make out a case for him. _ _ We need not say that, in the event of the motion being carried, Lord Aberdeen will forthwith resign. The ques tion will then be, who will be the successor of the noble lord ? We have no doubt Lord John Russell will be the man. We believe we may add, that the Cabinet will be entirely reconstructed, and that, perhaps, a majority of those who now compose it will not be members of the embryo Administration. Lord Palmerston will, we are told, be Secretary of War in the new ➢linistry. THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday intelligence was received at the Admiralty, under date Memel, June the 18th, that her Majesty's steamers Amphion and Archer had just towed thee Russian prizes—namely, the Mezita, Hannan master ; the Hannah Maria, Lorenston master ; and the For tuna, Thomson master— into that harbour. By advices received yesterday, under date Elsinore, June the 19th, an English war steamer, supposed to be the Desperate, towed past that port on the 18th inst. four Dutch vessels, taken prizes. The Lords of the Admiralty yesterday gave notice at Lloyd's that ships were required to convey 450 tons of biscuit from Gosport and 650 tons of biscuit from Ply mouth to Var. a for the use of the army and Black Sea fleet ; the ships will be required to wait at Constanti nople, in the event of the army having crossed the Danube, for further orders. Mrs. Doraville, wife of the surgeon of the Tiger, has received a letter, under date the 12th of May, from her husband at Odessa, in which be states that they were all well. Mr. Doraville and eight other officers were about to be exchanged for Russian prisoners. The transport Libertas was towed from the Royal William Victualling-yard into the Channel on Thursday, by the Confiance steam-vessel, and sailed immediately with provisions and stores for Malta. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Minx, tender to the Scourge, sailed on Thursday morning from Plymouth, for the coast of Africa. The crew of the frigate Indefatigable, 50, Capt. Hope, got up topmast rigging, and completed setting the lower rigging on Thursday. The Hornet, 17, screw steam-sloop, Commander Fre derick A. Campbell, was taken out of dock on Thursday and into the basin, and will be ready for sea by Thurs day next. The Kangaroo screw steam-vessel left the Royal Ar senal, Woolwich, yesterday, and went up to Deptford. The Swallow, screw steamer, recently launched at Pembroke, having been rigged in the unprecedented short period of four days, left yesterday for Portsmouth, in tow of the Prospero, steam-tender. She is at once to be furnished with machinery, and placed in commission for service with the Baltic fleet. The following are her principal dimensions : ft. in. Length between the perpendiculars 139 0 Do. keel for tonnage l2O 6 Breadth, extreme 27 11 Do. for tonnage 27 7 Do. moulded Depth in hold Burthen in tons, 486 33-91. The Ariel, a sister ship, will follow in about a fortnight, to finish which the blacksmiths of the establishment are working from 5 in the morning until 8 at night, this class of vessels being greatly wanted in the Baltic. The head quarters of the 80th Regiment of Foot, with the grenadier and light companies, arrived at Gravesend on the 22d inst. in the Blenheim, freight-ship, from India, and, having landed the same day, in the afternoon proceeded by the North Kent Railway to Strood, where they were met by the band of the 35th Regiment of Foot, and played up to their quarters at St. Mary's Case mate Barracks. The other division of the 80th Regi ment is expected in a few days, and arrangements have been made for its reception. The head-quarters and four troops of the 15th Hussars arrived at Gravesend on the 21st instant from India, and proceeded by the North Kent Railway to Strood, where the band of the 35th Regiment, from Chatham, were in waiting, and played them to their quarters. The Tra falgar hired freight-ship, in which they arrived, called at St. Helena, and took in a supply of fresh water there. The men appear in very good condition, and it will not be long before they are again ready for service, if re quired. It has been remarked by old soldiers that they never witnessed a regiment land from a long voyage so clean and fresh as the 15th Hussars did, although they were much crowded on board the ship they came home in. They gave about 250 volunteers to other cavalry ' regiments previous to their leaving India on the return to England. During the passage of 109 days four men and four children died on board. From Plymouth we learn by electric telegraph that Captain Adair, 2 sergeants, 2 corporals, and 91 privates of the Royal Marines had left yesterday evening by mail train to join the Royal Albert at Sheerness. 130 volun teers from the 91st Regiment had arrived by the steamer Prussian Eagle, en route to join the depots of the 42d, 33th, and 93d Regiments. About 300 volunteers from the 2d (Queen's) and 37th Regiments had also arrived from Dublin by the steamer Devonshire, on their way to join the 77th and 44th Regiments. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.

The Essex Rifles will be reviewed in Hyde Park on M ,, nda.y, at ten o'clock, by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and it is expected that there will be a large attendance on the occasion. In the absence of the regi ment a company of the Guards will do duty in the Tower, at the Museum, and the Mint. The 3d West York Regiment are said to have im proved greatly since they got into barracks at Berwick. About 140 men have been selected to go home ; of these nearly all are married men, and are only waiting for the order as to the period of absence to be given to each man to proceed to their respective places of abode. An issue of 1/. ls. (exclusive of bounty) is to be made to every man in the regiment, for the purpose of completing them in extra necessaries for active service. Most of them have already been supplied with new great coats. There have not been above six cases of drunkenness since the regiment arrived at Berwick. LETTERS FOR THE BALTIC,'WHITE SEA, TUBKEY, AND THE BLACK SEA. The following are the regulations under which the corre spondence for her Majesty's forces in the Baltic, in the White Sea, and in Turkey and the Black Sea is at present for warded Mails for the Baltic fleet are made up in London every Tuesday evening, and are forwarded through Belgium to Dantzic, where they arrive on Friday. Orders have been given that a steam-vessel shall be detached from the fleet, and sent to Dantzic weekly, to receive the mails from Eng land, to bring to that port the return mails for England, which, on arrival, are despatched to this country through Belgium. An officer's letter, not exceeding half an ounce in weight, sent by this route, is liable to a postage (British and foreign combined) of Bd. A seamu's or soldier's letter, not exceedinr , half an ounce in weight, forwarded by this route, is charged with a com bined British and foreign postage of sd. Upon both classes of letters - the Postage must be paid in advance. _ Newspapers cannot be forwarded by the route of Dantzic, because, according to the arrangements with the Prussian Government, the Prussian postage upon Newspapers cannot be collected in this country. If, therefore, newspapers were sent by this route, they would be detained at Dantzic, until the postage due upon them to the Prussian Post-office was paid. The above is the speediest and most direct communication with the Baltic fleet : but there are other occasiods, by moans of Queen's ships or transports, when letters and newspapers can be forwarded. Mails are made up to be despatched by every vessel of war proceeding from England to the fleet, and the postage by sudi ships is as follows For an officer's letter, not exceeding 1 oz 6d For a seaman's or soldia's letter not exceeding oz id Newspapers are forwarded by vessels of war, or transports, free of postage. Letters, &c., for the Baltic fleet, should be addressed with the name of the ship for which they are destined, and the fleet to which that ship belongs, without mentioning any port or town, thus—..... H. M. Ship Baltic Fleet." Mails for the army in Turkey, and for the fleet in the Black Sea, are made up in London six times in each month, viz., the evenings of the 3d, Bth, 13th, 18th, 23d, and 28th or (when the month has 31 days) the 29th. These mails aro forwarded, through France, to Marseilles, and are thence conveyed to Constantinople by the French Mail Packets in the Mediterranean. By the favour of the French Government, no higher charge is made for the conveyance of the Lette rs o f B r iti s h soldiers and Sailors than that which is levied on the correspondenco of a French naval and military force. A letter, therefore, under a quarter of an oz. in weight, whether to or from an officer, a soldier or a seaman; is liable only to a combined British and foreign rate of 3d. If the letter weighs a quarter of an oz., and is under half an oz., the charge is 6d. ; if it exceed half an oz., and does not exceed 1 oz., the charge is' Is., and so on for heavier letters. The postage upon newspapers is two-pence each. The postage both upon letters and newspapers must be paid in advance.. The above is the speediest and most direct communication with the fleet in the Black Sea, and with her Majesty's Forces in Turkey ; but the letters of soldiers and seamen serving in Turkey and the Black Sea may also bo forwarded to Malta, via Southampton, twice a month, viz., on the morn ings of the 4th and 20th, for the sum of M., under the usual regulations applicable to such letters. From Nialta they are sent to their destinations as opportunities offer, by a ship of war or other vessel in the service of her Majesty, without any further chnrge. At the same rate of id., letters may also be forwarded by any vessel of war, or hired transport, proceeding from Eng land to Turkey. By these opportunities newspapers are transmitted for a postage of One Penny each, which must be paid in advance.

Z L ,~~~~> ARRIVAL Or BNOLISH ENGINEERS FROM RUSSTA. On Thursday last several engineers, who have been lately employed in the Russian fleet and dockyards, and who suc ceeded iu making thei r esca p e f rom St. Petersburg on Mon day, the sth inst., called at the• Admiralty by the instruc tions of Lord Bloomfield, the British Minister in Berlin, • for the purpose of having an inte rv i ew w ith th e F irst Lord. These persons, having been selected by the Russian Government on aocount of their superior intelligence and ability, and some of them having filled the most confidential offices in connexion with the engineering department of the enemy's navy, their revelations are of interest. In the absence of Sir James Graham they were received by his private secretary, Captain Washington, who congratulated them very kindly on their return to their native land, and immediately roco,guised ono of them, Mr. Hardgrave, of the Imperial yacht the Alexan dria, whom he remembered as having talked with when he visited Cronstadt in company with the Grand Duke Constan tine some years ago. The communications made on this occasion were listened to with the utmost attention. One of the gentlemen in question, Mr. Young, was chief engineer on board the Emperor's private frigate the Grisiecliy, and was thrown into frequent intercourse with his Majesty and other members of the Royal family. Ho seems to have been au established favourite with these august personages, as appears • by the numerous valuables presented to him -- three diamond rings, ono of them worth 200 guineas, a diamond pin, a single stone of the first water, several gold snuffboxes, and three gold watches being among the proofs of the Imperial approbation of his services. It appears from the description given of the state of public feeling in Russia anterior to the affair of Sinope, that though it was apprehended that a war with England was inevitable, the English were universally spoken of in terms of oordiality and respect ; but not so the French, whose hostility tho Rus sians affected to despise. Immediately, however, after the massacre of the Black Sea, and as soon as the declaration of war became known, a great revulsion of feeling was manifest ed towards the English residents, and the most opprobrious epithets were lavished on them, and they were insulted when ever they were recognised. It was at this time the English engineers and others employed in the Russian service received a notice calling on them to declare whether they would stop in the country or return home. A meeting was immediately held of as many as could be called together, for the purpose of determining the course to be adopted, as they bad been pre viously pledged to remain in the Russian service so long as the war was between Russia and Turkey —yet, now that England had become involved, it was a very different thing, and those present had determined on demanding their passports. It was with the greatest repugnance that the naval authorities en tertained their application for a discharge from the Royal frigates, and the applicants were informed that, if even their contracts were rescinded, they would be sent in to the interior—to Moscow, it was said—and not be per mitted to return home. Mr. Young had renewed his original contract several times, and his last engagement was within two months of expiration. By the original contract he was entitled to 491: to defray his passage to Eng.. laud, but he was told that if he persisted in terminating-his engagement this sum would be disallowed. The utmost panic was observable at this time throughout the navy. The royal yacht Alexandria, lying at Peterhoff, which was beautifully ornamented with blue and gold, having a magnificent cabin, with golden eagles on deck, had all her exterior decorations daubed over with black paint, and the deck cabin taken away; so that, in the event of any casualty, she might evade the particular notice of the enemns, It is usual, it appears, in the Russian navy in the Baltic, on the setting in of the frost, to take the machinery asunder, and to put it together on the approach of spring. The English engineer in charge of the Ghnierch, having engines of 40 , -horse power, made by Rennie, called the officers together for the purpose of showing that ho delivered up the vessel in proper order, and demanded his discharge. A Russian engineer subsequently undertook the duties, and succeeded very well once or twice, but, on making a third trial of her speed, lie managed to knock the bottoms out of her cylinders ; and for the present this fine vessel is hors de comb at. From the millwright and other en gineering departments at Kulpino the Englishmen had less difficulty in obtaining their passports, owing to the media tion of General Wilson, a native of Scotland, who is at the head of that vztablishment, who has spent the greater part of a long life (being now 80 years of age) in the Russian ser vice, and who is an immense favourite with the Emperor. The estimation in which the General is held by the Emperor may be judged from the following incident, which occurred at Culpinskoy, which is the first station on the railway be tween St. Petersburg and Moscow :—On the occasion of the Emperor's visit to the latter city some time since, the Gene ral waited on his Majesty at the station, when the Emperor embraced him, kissed him on the cheek, and declared aloud that he was the honestest man in his service. It is at this place that all the swivels and other machinery for gunboats . are manufactured which are sent down the Neva to the ship building yards below St. Petersburg. The construction of gunboats has engaged the artificers for several months past during the night, as well as the day, under the active and anxious superintendence of the Grand Duke Constantine, who, as far as the naval preparations for war are concerned, is perpetually on the gui vivo. These boats, upon which so much reliance is placed by the Russians, are built of fir, and carry two guns fore and aft; 100 of these boats have been already launched, for the purpose of the present emergency, and 60 more were nearly ready when the English engineers left, at the beginning of the present month. On the arrival of the English engineers at St. Petersburg they at once perceived, from some difficulties thrown in their way, that it was not intended to let them escape easily. At the public offices where it was necessary to apply they found that various subterfuges were being resorted to, in order to impede their departure. It was necessary, they were told, that eight days should elapse from the time of their applying for a passport to its being granted, and they had therefore considerable time on their bands for admirin g the beauties of the Russian metropolis. S ome o f th em w h o were familiar with the person of the Emperor, were quite shocked on be holding him again, as he looked almost 20 years older than when they had last seen him at Cronstadt a few mouths before. He, so conspicuous for his erect carriage, now appears stooped with age and infirmity. A pertinacious liver com plaint and a disease in the leg, with what is still worse, a " mind diseased," had in these few months marked this sad change. His Majesty takes very little suStenanoe ; he is re stricted in his diet to a wing of a fowl, a little weak tea, or an occasional glans of champagne, diluted with water. The Russian public cannot bear to talk about Admiral Napier with anything like moderation or common decency. The St. Petersburr , papers teem daily with abominable lies of all kinds, especially concerning England and the affairs of the Black Sea ; but that which appears to be their favourite theme, and is constantly repeated, is that the English people aro starving, and that the price of bread in London is a silver rouble (3s. 2d.) per pound. At length, by dint of management and bribery, three of the party of engineers contrived to obtain their passports, when, having an extra post diligence 'in waiting for several days, they immediately started, accompanied by two children, without waiting for arrears of salary or the liquidation of many other claims which they might have had against the Government. It is needless to say that, once out of St. Petersburgh, the refugees permitted no ill-timed thought of economy to retard their flight, and the Prussian frontier, a distance of 780 miles, was reached without unnecessary The route lay through Konigsberg, and thence to Berlin by railway. On reaching this latter place they waited on Lord Bloomfield, by whom they were heartily congratulated on their escape, even at the loss of their pecuniary claims. His Lord ship took a kindly interest in their affairs, and particularly in the narrative of their adventures, listening with great attention to the description given of the Emperor Nicholas's present condition by persons by whom he was so intimately known, and by whom he was so recently seen as during the preceding week. After a short sojourn in the Prussian capi tal, the travellers pursued their route by Hamburg, where they embarked for London on board the General Steam Navi gation Company's ship Manilla, arriving, much to their de light, once more in their native land. With regard to the engineers left behind, it is very doubtful whether they will be permitted to return to England. BETTING IN PUBLIC HOUSES. At Bow-street Police-court, yesterday, Mr. Jardine gave his decision upon the two police complaints which were brought under his notice on Friday last, relative to the prac tice of betting in public houses. Mr. Huddlestone (with Mr. Hobler) and Mr. Duncan, who represented the defendants, were again in attendance. Mr. Jardine said these were very important cases, no doubt, although in his mind, there was a great distinction between them. Both the defendants were summoned for allowing their houses to be used for betting purposes by persons re sorting thereto ; but in the case of Mr. Smith it did not ap pear that he bad taken any part in the betting; and the fact • of there being a notice paper relative to the settlement of bet ting transactions on a given day, however entitled to conside ration in another way, did not bring him within the, meaning of the act. With respect to the case of Mr. Morbey, there was the statement of the police-officer that he saw the land lord betting with his customers upon certain race-horses ; and the question was, whether this was not an act which made him liable to the penalties imposed by the new law. He admitted that he had great doubts as to the meaning of this new act of Parliament for the suppression of betting houses, and he had been forcibly struck with the argument of Mr. Huddlestone respecting the non-application of that mea sure to summonses like the present ; but at the same time he believed that the fact of a landlord's betting with a customer was contemplated by the framers of the act and the Legisla ture ; and although a great deal might be said on both sides of the question, he should not hesitate to act upon his own impression. Hei should therefore convict the defendant, Mr. Morbey, and order him to pay a penalty of 101., or be com mitted for two months. In doing this he presumed that he should be only putting the matter in a position for further inquiry—to be argued, if necessary, in the Court of Que n e s I Bench. The wording of the act was by no means clear, and it was important that its 'proper interpretation should b e settled definitively. lie believed he should serve the publics best by enabling the parties to take this course at once and therefore he should convict the defendant as th e owner of the house, using the same for the purpose of bettin g." Mr. Huddlestone--But this is not the charge spe cified in the summons. _ .-- Mr. Jardine - No matter ; the fact came out in evidence, and that enabled me to deal with it. In the other case, against Mr. Smith, the summons is dismissed. The usual notice of appeal was then given ; but shortly afterwards, the parties having returned to the court, „./' Mr. Huddlestone stat e d th at he had reconsidered the q'Tli the parties were most anxious to take tion of appeal, for he felt himself placed in a di i r t th ina i u d g en the o . upon the question raised by the present a um L n- e e a f with an fortunately his worship had thought proper t 0 deaf a r 14orbey was offence of a totally different character.

Mr. Huddlestone inquired if some arrangement could Dot be made, by means of which an opinion could be taken upon the following question :--" Whether the owner of a house, permitting people to frequent the same for the purpose of betting, would be liable under tho new act 1" If this could bi done, ho would admit the facts of the case—that persons were assembled, with his client's knowledge, for the rid". of betting with each other. This proposition having been declined, The learned counsel requested a further mitigation of thi penalty to 5/., the fact really being that his client did not use his house for any purpose of the kind.
