But then it is urged that the secret memorandum was not an agreement. If it were not an agreement it was an overture ? What answer was made to it ? Let Lord Aberdeen move for a copy of that answer in., the House of Lords, and produce it, and we will acquit him of complicity. He may rest assured that such a document would do much more to clear his reputation than the production of a dusty despatch more than a quarter of a century old. Well, in 1853, Lord Aberdeen is once more in office, and we find him at the same work again. In 1829 assisting Russia against Turkey ; in 1844 conspiring with Russia against Turkey ; in 1853, with the same confidence in Russian force, and the same despair of Ottoman strength, deprecating all resistance, and instructing his Secretary of State to write to our ambassador at Constantinople, that, though " the Western Powers might suc ceed in crippling Russia in the struggl e , Turkey would, in all p ro b a bility, disappear in. the course of the contest.' 1 ONDON and NORTH-WESTERN RAIL NAY.

THE SOCIAL ECONOMY OF WAR. nation that fights best and fears the least is the greatest. In all times the fall of States has been marked by a preference of ease to duty, and of wealth and safety to honour and independence. This war has been none of our seeking ; but it.has been of priceless value to us if it have awakened in us the energy of valour and kindled the dormant energies of our combativeness into the " ancient mettle of our pasture.'! And if it have made us less sordid—if it have made us postpone the thought of stocks and specie to the higher concerns of human right and the progress of mankind in truth and liberty, it is worth much blood and some treasure. Oh what is death but parting breath? On many a bloody plain I've dared his face and in this place I scorn him yet again ! In this spirit is real peace and true safety. He who has a contempt of death is the last man whom ' bullies will put to the proof. He who will let his guineas gladly go, so they bring the money's worth of respect for his power and fear for his firmness and resentment, may keep them in his coffers, as sured that nobody will sock to afford occasion for their employment. It is quite possible to be too prosperous rich and secure. Gross and undisturbed abundance may make us Russia knows that she has nothing to fear from an Aus trian army occupying the Principalities ; and if it be at the same time evident that neither English nor French are to pass the Lower Danube, the Russians, like our selves, can concentrate their whole force upon and around Sebastopol, and the attack of that fortress, admitted to be perilous by sea, woul.d become still more perilous by land. frontier left exposed and unprotected against incursion s which at any future time may be attempted. "It is sufficient to observe of the stipulations respect. ing the islands of the Danube, that their effect must be to place the control of the navigation and commerce of that river exclusively in the hands of Russia." The twentp-five years of peace, under the "dis astrous treaty," which Lord Aberdeen declared it would not be amiss to get renewed, have been twenty-five years of sapping and undermining the independence of Turkey. How that country has resisted the machinations against her, with all the advantages which her enemy has possessed, as recited by Lord Aberdeen, is truly wonderful, but the strain of such another five-and-twenty years of peace with Russia is more than she could bear. There is more peace in war than in such a perfidi ous peace as has passed away.' As we predicted, the bully has been found really weak in aggressive warfare, and, couceitin g hi mse lf an eagle, has perform e d the part of th e d.aw in the fable ; ut though he may not be of a force to copo with the justice of Europe, he may yet be of a force to trouble its repose by insane attempts like the present, unless his means of mischief are cir cumscribed. When the time comes, his humilia tion will be deprecated with an outpouring of cant of generosity; but as his conceit of power has been the main cause of the disturbance of Europe, and the destruction already of many thousand lives, his humiliation is the politic and_ necessary correc tive of a dangerous delusion. We confess we should have been better pleased with the supplemental speech if Lord Aberdeen had been a little less vehement in professions. He pro fesses peace, and he professes war ; first in the love of the one, foremost in the prosecution of the other.

AN ESSAY on SPERMATORRHCEA ; Its Nature and Treatment, with an exposition of the Frauds that are practised by persons who advertise the speedy, safe, and effectual cure of Nervous Derangement. By a MEMBER of the ROYAL COLLEGE of PHYSICIANS, London. Mailer Than the fat weed that.rots itself in ease On Lethe wharf. It may be well for us that the strife of battle should bring us face to face with the grim realities of fate —that the race of mortal enginery should energise our souls, and make us still lords of the creation and tamers of its brutes. We may all become •so rich as to be bribed to lazy idleness, or only to the busy mischief of vice. The discipline of poverty is necessary until we have overmastered the tempta tions of wealth, that leave to us only the lack lustre eye of sated avarice, or take.'from lig the induce ments to enterprise and the springs of industry and knowledge. When men work by slaves and fight by mercenaries the greatness of their country is hastening to its setting. He who would have peace at any price will soon have no price at which to buy it. He who with Lord Aberdeen goes to war with the avowed object of procuring peace commits an egregious folly. We don't want peace, as we didn't desire war. What we want is to punish aggression, and to secure the world against its recurrence. It is for the wrong doer to sue for mercy—not for the judge to ask for a cessation of the wrong. We go to war to crush the power of Russia. If she desires to be saved she must ask for a truce, offer any indemnity, and tender securities for the future.—Dispatch, London : Aylott and Co., 8, Paternoster-row. THE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA, August 4, 1854.—The magnificent screw steamship " CAL CUTTA," 1,800 tons, Captain J. Gooman, another of the fine fleet belonging to the General Screw Steam Shipping' Company. will be despatched with her Majesty's Malls for Adelaide, Port-Philip, and Sydney, on the 4th August neat. This fine vessel has maintained her high reputation for rapid sailing and punctuality, and is a sister shipto toe '° Argo," which has made the quickest v gage to arulfrurct Australia up to this time. The Calcutta has been employed carrying the Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and from her superior sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly assumed that she will make the run in 60 days. Rates of Passage from 30 to 100 guineas. She will be followed, on the 4th of October, by the t acasus, of 2,500 tons.

NITY OF FRANCE AND ENGLAND.- Mutual co-operation has taken place—an unity of interesthas been discovered, that will render the two nations the admiration Of every kingdom en earth. They have their distinct talents and P e culiarities, but, once amalgamated, there is no bound to their pro gress. It will have been observed that E. MOSES and SON were the first to exhibit the commercial consequences of the unity of France and England. France produced its fancy fabrics for SUM MER ATTIRE, and E. MOSES and SON fashioned them into the Most approved costume for that season, for special or ordinary wear. Thus France has produced for E, MOSES and SON, and they have • m anufactured for them—having their Patrons in France as well as all other countries. E. MOSES and SON never overlooked the advantages which the Public derive from the unity of France and England —their present • stock of SUMMER ATTIRE is the most sati,faztory illustration ~W h ich could be attained in HATS, CAPS, FANCY HOSIERY, L ADIES' DRESSES, SHAWLS, MANTLES, PARASOLS, &c. France and England are represeeted In the most effective manner at E. MOSES and SON'S City and West end Branch Establishments, and the benefits of the international compact are discerned in the V ery economical prices charged for the most elegant articles of the season. J UVENILE ATTIRE, which E. MOSES and SON have produced for the MIDSUMMER HOLIDAYS, partakes of all these advan tages, and is distinguished for novelty and cheapness, which exceeds tdl former_preparat ions. The WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT, which is the largest and Most select Stock of SHIRTS, BO) TS, and SHOES, &c., secures • th e most desirable advantages to Merchants, Captains, Emigrants, or Country Layers, the articles being much better and considerably ts cheaper than at any other house.'

To which are added, Commentaries on the Physiology of Marriage, with pre cautionary hints on the evils emanating from empirical practice, and on thb dangerous remedies advocated by various writers on these important disorders:__ By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licenttate Apothecaries' Ilea, London, &c., &c. Theessential obiect of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of haying hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary natal' men should know, that there are principles of personal manazerne.nt which cannot be violat ad without incurring grievous penalties, and when whidom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scsreely any decree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

At home for cOnsultAtiorl daily from Eleven till TWO, slid fpom EU 1,111 r.lghte We sometimes have felt exceeding provocation at the quarrelsome spirit of the United States. They are always ready to fight—to seek an occa sion for fighting. They would at any time rather go to war than not. They are perpetually seeking satisfaction. Now, it is of ourselvbs ; again, it is of France, or Spain, or Austria, or Japan. Their very ambassadors make pretexts for duels if they cannot find them ; their consuls demand compen sation for injured citizens ; their captains of the navy are ever on the brink of a broadside in foreign ports, either with the State in whose harbour they aro at anchor, or with some rival navy or com peting traders. Yet they are at peace with all the world—have no national debt—their surplus revenue is a nuisance—every body is civil to them —every body concedes to them more than is their due. To make war in words is enough ; to be " sudden and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation even at the cannon's mouth," turns out to be the best way of superseding the necessity of an appeal to the cannon. To a man bristling with spikes, all are ready to give "a wide berth." So it was with us in the days of the Protector. Old Noll had enough on his hands at home ; but that did not prevent him from keeping foreigners in order. Being always ready to fight with every body, nobody was willing to fight with him. He had " enough of the Devil in him to keep the Devil off him." He made England's rights to be respected and her name to be feared. We our selves were at war with France for 30 years. We fought to the last—lavished with our wealth upon it—pawned our credit for it. We would never gi ve in. Often we rejected terms of peace. The conse quence is, we have had no war for 40 years. We arc not sure that it is not to our peace principles we are to attribute thefact that we are at warnow. Had we shown our teeth sooner, and threatened to use them earlier, the general impression appears to be that we should have had no occasion for their use. Armies and navies are, indeed, expensive ; but it is no bad economy which spends ten millions to be prepared for war, to save a hundred millions in the war itself. We would not seek to argue a jus tification of the maxim of doing evil that good may come. God forbid we should advocate war for war's sake ; or make war deliberately without cause or provocation, merely from a politic con sideration of its material profits or moral advan tages. "It is impossible," says Luke, " but that effences will come, but woe be unto him through whom they come." An aggressor, an invader, a general bully of mankind, an intriguer, a hatcher of treason among subjects, and rebellion against rival authorities—such require suppression as a general nuisance to the world. Their organisation should be abolished and their rule erased and blotted out, by the common consent of nations. Doubtless' we must look at the spirit and motives which dictate hostilities. Even a war which in its results may be beneficial to the world is not on that account to be palliated, even although it should have been caused by ample provocation. It is in deed true.that God makes even the wrath of man to praise him ; but that does not excuse man's wrath—it does no more than show that Providence extracts good for the human race, even out of their own tendencies to evil. But a mere indiscriminate condemnation of war, without reference to its causes or its end, is as absurd as a censure of that form of destructiveness which razes hovels to build palaces, or which pulls down good houses on each side of tenements in flames, to cut off the communication of the raging and devouring element through a street or a city. We demur entirely to the Quaker philosophy. We think the broad-brimmed ethics of the Peace Society to betray very feeble powers of analysis. They fasten not upon the general principle of antagonism—on the theory of strife—on the abstract hypothesis of resistance or aggression. They know, indeed, they cannot do so with truth or consistency, seeing that life itself is a battle—that Christ " came, not to bring peace, but a sword "—that the whole history of the Society of Friends has been that of a warfare against the " world and the world's law "—a re sistance to authority where it was wrong—an am bitious nonconformity—a pertinacious defiance of custom—a resolute refusal "to follow the multitude to do evil." No. They make war against the Slave Trade by differential duties and twenty gun frigates—they would pass a liquor-law suppressing publicans, and abolishing the use of intoxicating drinks—they bolt their doors against thieves, im prison burglars and transport footpads—they em body and call out an army of constables with truncheons to take the field against crime. They patronise the Mendicity Society—the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Protection to Females' Society ; with almost every form of aggression upon the rights, or temptation to the weaknesses of mankind, they raise the standard of a resolute opposition—but there they stop short. The collision of swords, the concussion of gun powder, the array of troops, the repulsion of broad sides—these they seem to regard as unmitigated evil and mortal sin, not to be justified or excus d by any demur of provocation, or plea of necessity. Nay, with the most egregious inconsistency, they actually sent a deputation to the Emperor of Russia to assure him that they had no sympathy with those who were interfering to prevent him from carrying war into Turkey I and that they - call carrying out peace principles ! In fact their ideal of social and civil perfectibility appears to be a dispensation in which men save their bacon and save their money. Slaughter and debt seem to them the greatest of all evils. It is high time this nonsense were exposed, and its tra ditional sapience exploded. It is not in the inte rests of morality, but in these of mere selfishness. It is a. creature-comfort, body-coddling, purse hoarding rule of ethics. Carried to its conclusion, it would rob us of our manhood, and so confirm self-vindication e ffini inac yas u a nd l t e i l in ,e a n te o l f y s e to lf. s d u e ck fen e al p ol out t w o e of of us. my daughter a o u f g like ter Lot it but grow upon us, and we w ould go bawling, m S h y y d l o u c e l a c, t over s wtiht without l t d h — O, power oh, e least pipingreco vering either. times and i ts Already pu 4 r yearssOy scantiness brwithea breath, n e t havegiven roory. W have e n s y o b o e f e s u w s a x a e bias d an d towards holystoned,p_o and painted our ships of war, that we cannot find it in our hearts to see shot and shell doing their office either in going to or coming from them. We have been so frightened by our load of debt—so accustomed to talk of dollars—so eager to reduce taxes and nurse a surplus—so generally inocu lated with the mania for stock and share-monger ing, and ; therefore, so accustomed to the idea of postponing every consideration to that of keeping the money market easy, North-Westerns up and divi dends progressive, that the very thought of war makes us tremble for our solvency ; and when it is threatened we feel, some of us at least, inclined to make a debtor and creditor account of it, and to see whether we will save most by giving in or going through with it. Misers have been known to die of starvation while they had half a million in the bank—thus losing both life and money, that money might be saved. So it will be with a people who think of their pocket when they should look to their duty—who would let their honour go, so that they might retain their cash—who would for ever go on compounding of felonies, so that thieves would but always give them back a reasonable proportion of the property of which they had plundered them. It is high time we were roused out of these per nicious delusions. The world must be made to know that in a just quarrel we are aiway ready with men and money, be the results what they may. Why should the mere preservation of bare life be reckoned by either Christians or bravo men as paramount to the cause of justice or the claims of humanity ? What is there in bare property, " in vile trash wrung from the hard hands of star ving peasants," that'to keep it, hoard it, increase it, we should be ready to be spit upon, and should be known for its sake to submit to any degradation which pride mayinflict or meanness endure ? This extreme tenderness for bare life, this dastard " horror of falling into nought and startling at destruction," this craven sensitiveness at pain and groans and blood, may draw the manhood from our souls, may unsex us, may turn us into cowa r d s , an d ren d er us ultimately incapable of facing the real dangers of life, or braving the necessities of our fate. And this nervous clutch of our money bags, too, when ever wo are told that a tyrant would invade or despotism insult ; let us but think of it often enough, and dwell upon it long enough, and the time may come when all energy of self-help may leave us, and when, like the Jews of the middle ages, we may sink under any oppression which gives us leave to gather and to hoard. It were better that we had nothing to lose than that we should part with our character and manhood, to keep what we have scraped together. Better have no life, than waste away in the terrors of the peril of dying. Has it been by mere buying and selling, by weaving cloth and spinning cotton, that we have become great ? Is is by these that we teach the nations how to live, and set our broad mark over the world, and make our voice heard above the din of the strife of peoples F Irt all ages the THE AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION. And so we are to have another "occupation." In answer to questions from Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir Henry Willoughby on Thursday night, Lord John Rus sell stated that a convention had been concluded between Austria and the Porte, to which France and England were no parties, for the occupation of the Danubian Principalities by Austrian troops, on the departure, whether voluntarily or by force, of the Russians. Every one is amazed by this announcement ; what to make of it nobody knows. One thing only is quite clear, and universally undetstood, namely, that Austria has quite as much of the monomania of occupying as Russia. That has been manifest from the first. Ever since the commencement of the quarrel the Emperor Francis Joseph has had but one wish, but one prayer. "Do let me occupy," has been his continual cry. Now it was Mon tenegro ; then it was Albania, or Bosnia, or Servia ; and never has some kind of reason or excuse been absent. And here, at last, when there remains no longer the shadow of a pretext for going to fatten on any of these poor people, Austrian must fain take possession of the Principalities. The Turks have fought for them, have spent blood and treasure to recover them, have done deeds of unexampled valour, and have fairly beaten the Rus sians. But the Turks are not to enjoy the fruits of vic tory. They are not to pursue the Russians, or to feed on Wallachian rations. It would be too outrageous to have them gall the kibe of the retreating Russians. It would be too dangerous to give the opportunity to England and France. So the Austrians kindly offer to "occupy." The Times told us the other day that the Austrian army in Gallicia and the Bukowina is so strai tened for provision that it cannot keep within its terri tory or find provision there. Well, then, we suppose that it must " occupy" in order to live. We can add that in Gallicia the peasantry are now dying by hun dreds of starvation. And just as Wallachi a an d Moldavia were congratulating themselves on getting rid of the hungry Russian, and on having a friendlier vi.it from their liberators, the French and the English, who would at least pay for what they might consume, lo! they are informed that such cannot be the case. They have fed the Russian, and now they must feed the hungrier Aus trian. Why ? They may well ask, why ? If English, French, and Turkish armies advanced to the Pruth, as they ought, what need of any occupation of the Princi palities ? Is it feared that they will be too liberal, that Prince Ghika or Prince Stirbey would be too indepen dent ? Really this ambition to prey upon one's neighbours, yet not to fight for them, of which Austria offers such notable example, is too bad. The Austrian army might have long since put an end to Russian aggression. It might have advanced and fought; and had it done so, uo one would have objected to its occupying the camp and cities that the Russians had vacated. But to run no risk, to go to none of the expense and sacrifice of Eng land and France, and yet to bag the game, is most un fair, as well as most preposterous. We write on the presumption that this new occupa tion will be solely in the interest of Austria, and that it cannot be for the interest of any other power, except indeed Russia herself. In this we shall be very glad to find ourselves mistaken. The alleged motives or rea sons are as yet a mystery, no doubt, but the effect aimed at we cannot help suspecting. At the moment when the allied armies should have been advancing, Austria moves to intercept them. According to Austrian notions, the retreat of the Russians behind the Pruth terminates the war, and, the war over, what need have England, France, or Turkey, for pursuing or gett'ng closer to the enemy ? The allies were welcome to take the vanguard, as long as there was risk, but as soon as risk is at an end, Austria steps in to cover Russia, and intervene between her and her victorious foes. It is said that Austria occupies the Principalities in order that the French and English may attack Sebastopol. But if they desired to attack Sebastopol, why did they not land at once in the Crimea instead of loitering at Galli poli, and at Scutari They certainly were not prevented from striking this decisive blow by their haste to reach Silistria, where they will probably not arrive in time to see the rear guard of the retreating Russian army. It is notorious thnt Sebastopol was, up to the time when the movement on Varna took place, open to a coup de main on the land side. By the time, however, that the united army can be for the fourth time embarked and disembarked, preparations will probably be made for their reception in the Crimea, and we shall be told that nothing more can be done this year. However, Austria prevents in any case an occupation by the allies, and this was motive enough for the step she has taken. There has been no greater fear at Vienna, all along, than that the Western armies, and 1d ob there nerea inli what snl.

What if such a force, really desirous of humbling the power of Russia, were to penetrate into dominions,statesie n. the Polish provinces, which are far more easily reached from the Danube and the Pruth than is generally imagined ? Why, if they were to approach Gal licia and the Polish provinces, there would be an end of the present state of thinks in the East ern part of Europe ! Such we believe to be the fears of Austria, and they help to erplain her tortuous policy ; but to what extent the allies have admitted weight to the one, or extended toleration to the other, is the riddle waiting explanation. Lord John Russell says that Englaild and France are no parties to the convention, but it is hardly conceiv able that it should have been entered into without their permission. Turkey had placed herself in their hands, and this position was incompatible with any separate or independent arrangement of which the effect might be to transfer the arbitrament of peace to another power, which had borne no part of the burdens of war. The terms of the convention, that Austria was to drive out the Russians in case they refused to retire, would imply that it rested on a basis of service to the allies, and of hostility to Russia, which there is no proof as yet that Austria has had any active intention of rendering. If the condition has not been fulfilled, will the convention be permitted to operate ? Is not Austria, even at this eleventh hour, in a position to turn against us, and are we to strengthen her hands for that purpose, and etnbarrass our own future movements in the east, by consenting to give effect to a treaty which only makes her more powerful in an interest opposed to our own ? Already the inconveniences of an "alliance" so extra ordinary and incomprehensible as this between Austria and the Western Powers are becoming apparent. But for the position of Austria we should hardly have had the vehement advice which has lately been addressed to us, to concentrate our forces and direct them against Sebastopol, since there is nothing to be gained by invading the southern provinces of Russia. It would bo excellent advice, no doubt, if the allies could at once have moved their armies, if the siege artillery and preparations could have been extended instanter, and thrown upon the Crimea in a week. But we well know what time such movements take, even to venture upon, far less to execute. We also know how impossible is anything like secrecy in the present ago. Indeed, whe ther secrecy were observed or not, the Russians must know that if we avoid to pass the Danube, we can have , no other aim or design than to take Sebastopol, But, vance over the Lower Danube ? Pace Austria, we must confess that we should be for making both attempts. If occupation be found profitable and desirable by the armies of Austria on the spot, why should we not try it our selves. Bessarabia is one of the finest provinces for the support of cavalry, and why should not the thousands of reaping-hooks which Marshal St. Arnaud has sent into Adrianople he employed on the eastern bank of the Pruth, instead of being plied upon the Turkish crops on the boards of the Maritza ? Let Russia have a taste of occupation. She has peopled her provinces with mili tary colonies formed for the very purpose of invading Turkey, and surely these are the very, fields and farms which invite such a retribution. Bessarabia, we are to remember is one of Russia's ill-gotten and ill-thriving gains. It was one of the most prosperous of the countries on the Black Sea, when it was independent, and when it could export its produce to Constantinople. But Russian dominion and the Russian custom-houses have reduced and ruined it. So great is the weight of taxation, and so heavy are the other disadvantages under which the inha bitants submit, that the price of land in Bessarabia is about two-thirds less than in Moldavia. Not only were the Danubian countries thus sacrificedto the great ness of Odessa, but even Bessarabia. The rivers on each side of Bessarabia, the Dniester and the Pruth, are both navigable, or might be rendered so. Both have seaports that might be made most available. But the Russian government has set its face against any improvement in the navigation of these rivers, and compels all vessels tradine , to the mouths of the Dniester. -to perform quarantine at Odessa. In other words the trade and pro duce are all made to pass through Odessa. An invading army would find as sincere welcome in Bessarabia as in Moldavia, and although that part of the province next the Danube is barren and thinly populated, the regions to the north are rich and well capable of feeding an army. If the country should not prove productive, the army is as easily communicated with and supplied by the Pruth, as it was at "Varna. The reduction of the fortresses on the Dniester, neither of them strongly fortified, would give the allies the protection of that river, and with their armies in this position, threatening the Polish provinpes as well as Odessa, the Russians could not con centrate the bulk of it at Sebastopol ; against which, at the same time, an expedition from Bessarabia would be quite as practicable and easy as from Varna. There are other considerations, too, which ought to be taken into account. One is, the decided deterioration of the Russian soldier in the field or in offensive ope rations. Every military man knows the meaning of the immense disproportionate loss of the Russians in ge nerals and officers. It is only to be explained by the reluctance of the soldiers to do their duty, and the necessity that officers and generals should sacrifice themselves in order to overcome that reluctance. The Russian soldier at Oltenitza, at Kalafat, and now at Silistria, has shown himself decidedly inferior to the Turk. But a demoralised army, which would not stand an attack in the open field, or may make a rush over grass entrenchments, may still fight valiantly behind embrasures. It is precisely in such a place as Sebasto pol that the Russians might show, or be made to show, most courage ; whereas - every experience leads to the conclusion that they could not stand the allies in the field. It is in the field, too, that great achievements or great victories are gained. Days such as those of Ma storming a breach, but the result is not so decisive. i r s e n iu g o o r e a nddarAi daring t s e h r o l i w t z u , d a e s c iNclveoltlh as e fate m roof loss empires.suff The capture of Sebastopol would in no respect compare ere T d h , e i r n e with the loss of a battle on the Pruth or the Dniester. The Pruth, too, is of evil omen to the arms of Russia. It was on the banks of that river that Peter the First was overthrown by the Turks, and compelled to pur chase an inglorious retreat from the province which he had entered as a conqueror. But even if this were not so, and Sebastopol were the only conquest essentially worth winning, still, for the sake of being able to attack it without tremendous odds against us, we should say, let the allied armies pass . the Danube, and menace New Russia, so as to compel the bulk of the Russian army to remain on the south-west frontiers, and not become in any considerable force concentrated in the Crimea. We are not for surrendering our advan tages simply to give another advantage to Austria, and render more easy and agreeable her occupation of the Principalities.—Examiner. TilE SUPPLEMENTARY SPEECH. Lord Aberdeen complains of misapprehension and misrepresentation, but, by his own showing, the speech e; hick filled the country with astonish ment and dismay wag a speech which did not ex press his opinions fully and completely, and which has been fairly judged according to its imperfect terms and scope. If the speaker did not do justice to his own views, he has only himself to blame. And certainly no one could have divined that Lord Aberdeen, while dissenting from Lord Lynd hurst's spirited argument, was so nearly in agree ment with him. That was the occasion to have called forth the speech of last Monday, which in deed is neither a speech of explanation, nor of re tractation, but a sort of supplementary exposition, showing that though Lord Aberdeen has acquitted the Czar upon one felonious count, he holds him guilty upon another of a graver cast. Being a great lover of peace, Lord Aberdeen is naturally polemic and disputatious, and the asser tion that Russia had doubled her territories within the present century moved him to a contradiction, in which he thought much more of confuting an individual than of the impression his words would convey, and their effect at home and abroad. Be cause an opponent somewhat exaggerated Russian territorial encroachment, he made passing light of it in the spirit of controversy, forgetting that the position of a statesman is as incompatible with such a handling of a great national question as a duel would be with the duties of a general in the field. Re says, truly enough, that Russian territorial aggression was not to be feared, but that Russian in fluence for the same end was to be feared; and he gave expression to what he did notfear, and locked up in his breast what he did fear. This was not natural, but what w.is suppressed would have brought him into position with Lord Lyndhurst, which, in the excitement of debate, the spirit of disputation for bade. It is a point of good generalship to be prepared with a reserve, but such a strength in reserve as Lord Aberdeen has discovered is without parallel. Another time he should be requested to say what he has left unsaid, or to give those thoughts, which are proverbially best, the first place. There is one part of his speech, however, which the context of the supplement does not correct or improve, and that is the alleged kind service of the Czar to the Porte in protecting it against Mehemet Ali, receiving in return only the little advantage obtained by the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi. But besides this special consideration, there was an other motive for the friendly service, for the Czar having a prospective partnership interest in Turkey, was naturally hostile to any interference with the property. Meaning to rob the house at suitable opportunity, he was, of course, quite ready to bar the doors against a rival depredator. Another part of Lord Aberdeen's reply to Lord Lyndhurst, which no subsequent statement can re concile with sense and consistency, is his wish for another five-and-twenty years' peace, like that which followed the treaty of Adrianople. His views of that treaty, which he justly designates as disastrous, are now before the world. The effect, in his opinion, was fatal to the independence of Turkey. How he could have spoken those light words, denying the encroachments of Russia, after he had penned these grave words on the same sub ject-matter, is utterly inexplicable "The modes of domination may be various, although all equally irresistible. The independence of a State may be overthrown and its subjection effectually secured without the presence of a hostile force, or the permanent occupation of its soil. Under the present treaty the territorial acquisitions of Russia are small, it must be admitted, in extent, although most important in their character. They are commanding positions, • far more valuable than the possession of barren provinces and de populated towns, and better calculated to rivet the fetters by which the Sultan is bound. "The cession of the Asiatic fortresses, with their neighbouring districts, not only secures to Russia the uninterrupted occupation of the eastern coast of the Black Sea, but places her in a situation so command ing as to control at pleasure the destiny of Asia Minor. "Prominently advanced into the centre of Armenia, in tho midst of a Christian population, Russia holds the keys both of the Persian and the Turkish provinces ; and, whether she may be disposed to extend h er con quests to the east or to the we st, to Teheran or to Con stantinople, no serious obstacle can arrest her progress. "In Europe the prineipalities of Wallachia and Mol davia are rendered virtually independent of the Porte. A tribute is, indeed, to be paid to the Sultan, which he has no means of enfor cin g exce p t by the per m i ss i on an d even the assistance of Russia herself ; and a prince, elected for life, is to demand investiture which cannot be withheld. The Mussulman inhabitants are to be forcibly expelled from the territory. The ancient right of pre emption is abolished ; and the supplies indispensable for Constantinople, for the Turkish arsenals, and for the fortresses are entirely cut off. The most important fortresses upon the Danube are to be razed, and the " It is true, my lords, that I have, perhaps, more than any other man in this country, struggled to preserve a state of peace. I have done so because I thought it a duty to the people of this country—a duty to God and man—firs,t to exhaust every possible measure to obtain peace before we engaged in war. (Cheers.) I may own—though I trust my conscience acquits me of having done the utmost—that I only regret lest I have not done enough, or lest I may have lost some possible means of averting what I consider the greatest calamity that can befall a country. It has been said that my desire for peace unfits me to make war ; but how and why do I wish to make war ? I wish to make war id order to obtain peace, and no weapon that can be used in war can make that war so sure and speedy, and attain peace, as to make that war with the utmost vigour and determination. (Cheers.) This, my lords, I have not shrunk from ; on the contrary, I have been ready to co-operate with my colleagues, and most urgent as to our hostile and warlike preparations, and they will ad mit that I personally have been more urgent than per haps any other man in exhorting a speedy advance and concentration of the allied forces beyond the Balkans, in order to support the gallant army of Omer Pacha, and to extend a hand to Austria, in order to enable her to take a more active part in the operations of the war. (Cheers.)" More than any other man my Lord Aberdeen has struggled to preserve peace ; more energeti cally than any other man my Lord Aberdeen has urged on the movements of the war. And has not every other adviser of our Sovereign performed this same duty to the country, to God, and to man ? Is it to believed that any one has been backward, or less zealous, less earnest than another, in exhausting every honest and just expedient for peace before recourse to the sword ? What right can the First Minister have to claim pre-eminence in the discharge of this clear and imperative duty both of the Christian and the statesman ? lie may have performed his part more ably than others, but not more conscien tiously, for there are no degrees in the realm of conscience. Why is he to arrogate to be first in virtue, first in duty to his sovereign and his country, first in duty to God and man ? And hardly less invidious and objectionable is the boast of urging on the war " more than any other man," implying that all are not equally earnest, re lute, and, energetic in her Majesty's councils, and that there are divisions of the backward and the forward, or at least such distinctions. Lord Aber- deep should surely refrain from thus exalting him self at the expense of his colleagues, for it neither consists with justice nor good taste ; and as little does it become the dignity of a statesman charged with the honour and fortunes of a mighty empire at a most critical, juncture. It may be, however, that in this as well as in other instances, Lord Aberdeen appears to say what he does not mean to say, and that it is another example of that imperfection in expressing himself to which ho ascribes his previous miscarriage. It was not always thus with him, for we remember, .and with respect and gratitude, the services he rendered to the free trade cause by his argumenta tive and statesmanlike speeches, which were amongst the most weighty and earnest on that great theme.—Examiner. Lord Aberdeen, " with one foot in the grave," to adopt his own self-description, has recently thought fit in his place in Parliament to vindicate some passages of his busy though not memorable career. The necessity for such " explanation" in one filling the most eminent post in the kingdom, alone proves how unworthily it is occupied. The conduct and opinion of a Prime Minister should be of that evident and sign - al character that, though they may be opposed, they should not need to be explained. It is only when high places have been illegitimately obtained, not by fair parliamentary influence, but by backstairs intrigue, that there can be a necessity for such a humiliating performance as took place on Monday last. A young member of Parliament, without follow ing, and we should think without concert with any individual, gave notice of a motion condemnatory of Lord Aberdeen, which, both in its form and spirit, was so irregular and unconstitutional that its sanction by the opposition was out of the ques tion. Yet no sooner is he menaced by this Bashi- Bazouk than the Prime Minister of England, in a panic, hurries to the House of Lords to anticipate his House of Commons' assailant by an exposition, which was received with invective and derision by some of the friends of Lord J. Russell, but by his opponents with the contemptuous silence which it merited. Notwithstanding the controversial obscurity with which the subject has got involved, the relations between Lord Aberdeen and Russia are simple. Early in life the present Minister of England im bibed the idea that Russian power was the conser vative element of European society. It is, in fact, the destructive element. In 1828-9, notwithstand ing all the efforts of Prince Metternich, then in his zenith, and who had formed a correct estimate of the military means of Russia, Lord Aberdeen refused to resist the efforts of the Czar, then en gaged in the same operation on Turkish integrity and independence which we are now witnessing. More than this, he endeavoured to assist those efforts. He consented t• the blockade of the Mediterranean 'forts of Turkey by the Russians without the cognisance of his colleagues, and was forced to retract his assent. He succeeded in pre. venting the entrance of the English fleet into the Black. Sea, which would not only have hindered : s _i d alu A. s b c : h e e rd w e i e t n z : the success of the Russians, but would have tshes cured the triumph of the Turks. In one secret despatches of this period, which, at o th o e f _slck of Warsaw, were rifled from the portfolio _f Con stantine, is a despatch from Count L the Russian Envoy at the Court of _St . J ames's (1829), informing his Court that while he' dwelt on the difficulties with W hi ch he had to contend, had a cknowled g e d his wish that the Russians cam p a i g n against Lord No doubt, if shouldthe Turks, be . s Aberdeen h a d in their any other person tha t h a d b een Secretary of State a t this period, the treaty of Ad rianople would n ever have b een concluded, and, in that sense, ho may b e sa id to be the author of that disastrous document. many ek or s a it f a te o r on i t t en w t a? signed he produced that ddespatchfor a copy of w h ich he has recently moved in Par liament. It is a co mment on the past, conceived in the spirit of the traditionary policy of our Cabi net, very just and un• inswerable but quite useless. It was of this despatch that Prince Metternich ob served, " Apparently Lord Aberdeen has com menced his career as an hi to i " s r an. This State paper was a very convenient record to have at hand •in vase there had been any stir of indignation in Parliament ; but in 1830 Parlia ment was in another cue, and events, very soon after, swept Lord Aberdeen from that scene where lie has reappeared, in his old age, to plunge Europe in confusion, and to burden his own country with taxes, from the same causes that previously in fluenced his impolitic career, namely, an exagge rated estimate of Russian power, and a most mis taken and morbid assumption of Turkish weakness. But in the interval, also, Lord Aberdeen has been a Minister, and no sooner did he seem rooted in power than in 1844 the Emperor of Russia per sonally visited this country to confer with Lord Aberdeen on the possible partition of Turkey. It is somewhat strange that such propositions should be made to the author of such an " acrimonious despatch" ! We hold that the proposals for par tition 'were not only made, but were accepted, as The honesty of Lord Aberdeen can only be established at the cost of his powers of discrimina tion, his judgment, and his knowledge of affairs. The Minister selected to champion the integrity and independence of Turkey has looked upon that country for half a century as a corpse, and has never concealed that opinion from Russia. But can his honesty be established even at his expense? In February he vindicated his course by a convic tion throughout of the good faith of Russia; In June he attempts to clear himself by the pro duction of an ancient despatch, which records his persuasion of the inveterateness of Russian duplicity. But, whatever may be the motives of Lord Aberdeen, the result to the country is the same. He has involved us in a costly, a perilous, and an unnecessary war. Had he acted with frankness and firmness towards Russia at the commencement, Europe would not have been dis turbed, and, had peace been maintained for a few more years, it is evident that even the Czar would have discovered that the Porte was a sufficient barrier to his ambition. Lord Aberdeen concluded the melancholy display of Monday by one of his habitual notices of this journal. It seems that we stated in our last number that Prince Metternich had been consulted by his imperial master, and we added that we had reason to believe that the fruits of his counsel had been communicated, though not officially to Lord Aberdeen. We alluded also to previous communications which had taken place between the two statesmen. Lord Aberdeen de clared on Monday that he had had no communica tion with his Highness for a year and a half, and insinuated that the whole paragraph in the Press had been suggested by a casual allusion to Prince Metternich in his speech of the 19th June. A little while ago Lord Aberdeen traced the Cabinet secrets revealed in the leading articles of the Times to a youth who had been for a few months a clerk in the Foreign-office. Now, it is from hints furnished by his own speeches that the Press has been enabled to announce to the public the exist ence of the " Secret and Confidential Correspond ence " a year before it was disclosed ; that, throughout last autumn, it furnished important information —sometimes even weeks before it other wise transpired ; that, on the 27th of May last, it announced the secret negotiations which were to lead, in the first instance, to the evacuation of the principalities by the Russians. We really should have thought, after the scrape of the " clerk ingthe Foreign-offi ce ," that Lord Aberdeen would scarce l y again have had recourse to such desperate rigmaroles. Lord Aberdeen at present affects sincerity, plainness, and a habit of rough truth. "Honest lago !" It may be that he has changed since he gave his friendly and con fidential counsels to his predecessors. 'Tis a cha ritable conclusion. Time, his " one foot in the grave," the intrigues of some of his colleagues, the insolence of others, the sense of the mischief he has accomplished, terror and remorse, may have combined to render him less master of his memory and of a tongue never very skilful. He declares, with uncouth raillery, that he has had "no com munication, direct or indirect, with Prince Metter nich since he has been in office." We aver, on the contrary, that within this year an individual who for long years has possessed the confidence of Prince Metternich and Lord Aberdeen, and has been frequently employed by the Austrian states man on special services , arrived in thi s coun t ry , saw Lord Abe r d een instantly, and without the in terposition of any third person, remained here pri vately for three or four days, had repeated inter views with the English; Minister, and returned. We have .the best reasons for believing that the object of this mission was that concerted action with Austria which is to extricate both Russia and Lord Aberdeen from their terrible embarrassments. We have more to say upon this head, but it will keep. Lord Aberdeen not only reads the Press very regularly, but is in the habit of replying to its articles. The matter, therefore, may rest till his next speech.—The Press. THE BANKERS' CLEARING HOUSE. The arrangements just completed, by which the whole of the Loudon joint stock banks are allowed to partici pate in the advantages of the London Bankers' Clearing House, are of sufficient importance to the country, under the present monetary system, to induce us to call the attention of the public to the subject. A. few words of explanation will make the matter intelligible to the general reader. The Clearing House, situated at the bottom of Loin. bard-street, was opened about 90 years ago, for the pur pose of enabling the city bankers to meet and exchange their bills and cheques, and to settle the difference of their accounts. A clerk from each clearing bank ing house attends at eleven o'clock in the forenoon and three o'clock in the afternoon for this purpose. Each clerk has a desk and a drawer, in which are deposited by the other clerks all drafts and cheques on the house which he represents. At four o'clock the accounts are closed, the balance which each banker has to pay or receive from another is ascertained, and thus each banker arrives at the general balance which, as the result of the day's transactions, is against him or in his favour. This general balance is transferred from one banker to another till the claim which each has on the clearing house is liquidated. Till very recently, these general balances were paid in bank notes. In the appen dix to the second report of House of Commons on banks of issue, a statement is given of the aggregate amount liquidated at that period through the clearing house, by which some notion may be farmed of the magnitude of these transactions. The amount cleared in 1839 was 954,401,600/. The bank notes employed in the settlement of this (nor' mous sum being 66,275,6001., or about 1.14 th of the whole amount. The extent to which the cur rency of the country is economised is evident._ But very lately another important improvement has been in troduced. Each clearing bank er n ow keeps an account with the Bank of Engl an d, an d a ll payments due on the clearing accounts are paid by cheques oti the bank ; so that the use of bank notes in the settlement of the clearing balances is entirely superseded. The admission roefntdheers theLondosystem nearly perfect. There ar e s i x ofn joint stock Banks to the Clearing Hous* these large companies, viz., the Union, the London Joint Stock, the London and Westminster, the London and County, the Commercial, and the Royal British Banks. The West-end Banks, it may be observed, have the advantage of the clearing house system through the ag a vail em enc of the C themsel ity vesßa. nks, of w hi ch advantage some of th It is difficult to calculate the exact amount of bank note circulation which w ill b e saved by the system now Pa the cle ar i ng b a l ances by c h eques on itnhtarobdauncke)daonfdbyyitnhge admission of the joint stock banks, but it cannot be estimated at less than a million. The return of the active circulation of notes up to June 17th was 19,700,575/, which compared with the circulation of the last two years, is small in amount. But it may, we think, be safely assumed that a million of notes is not withdrawn from active circulation, but merely transferred by the new clearing system, from the tills of the London bankers to those of the bank of England. The Bank will gain, we imagine, considerably by these changes. They will have large balances lodged in their hands by the other London banks, and they will save the expense of the manufacture of a large amount of notes. The joint stock banks will gain in economised capital and lessened expenses. The private bankers will gain least, for if they have to keep fewer notes in their coffers, they will have to keep larger balances - at the Bank, and neither will their expenses be materially di minished, but the security with which their business will be transacted much increased. The public will gain, for the bank note circulating dium of the country being limited by Peel's Bill, the more you economise the circulation of the country, the more you do away with the evils of a restricted currlin c l• — Derbyshire Courier.
