The following statement of the quantities of tea. taken into consumption during the past quarter, as compared with the corresponding period of 1853, has just been made up. It shows a falling off of 1,517,1031 b., but this is solely attributable to the suspension of purchases pending the large reduction of duty which took place at the beginning of the present month. From the date of that reduction up to the 12th inst. duty was paid upon 3,143,0471 b., representing' an amount of 230;7281., which has since been 'considerably augmented : Official account of tea for the three months ending sth March : Duty paid in London 1854. 1853. lb. lb. 4,111,792 5,074,840 Liverpool 899,477 1,066,768 Bristol . .

(From the Report of the Registrar-General. ) In the week ending Saturday last, as the Registrar- General's report informs us, the deaths registered in London showed a decrease on the returns of preceding weeks. The number was 1,087 ;in the previous week it was 1,149. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1844 —53 the average number was 1,013, which if raised in proportion to increase of popu lation becomes 1,114. The actual result therefore differs little from the estimated amount. _ Diseases affecting the organs of respiration have de clined in the aggregate number of their fatal cases from 219 to 179 in the last two weeks. They have now fallen below the average of corresponding weeks, which is 211. Bronchitis decreased from 112 in the previous return to 77 in the last ; pneumonia is more stationary, and num bered in the respective, periods 72 and 76 Diseases of the zymotic or epidemic class were fatal in 254 cases, while the corrected average is 218. Typhus and continued fever appear to increase, having risen in two weeks from 47 to 59. Hooping-cough continued rather fatal and carried off 63 children. Measles and scarlatina carried off 34 and 39 respectively. There were 5 deaths from small-pox. 18 occurred from diarrhoea, and two from cholera—one at 15, Hardin's-lane, in the sub-district of Woolwich Arsenal, and the other at 5, Prospect-place, in the sub-district of Whitecross-street. Last week the births of 795 boys and 778 girls, in all 1,573 children, were registered in London. In the nine corresponding weeks of the years 1845-53 the average number was 1,393. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.060 in. The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on the first five days. The highest mean occurred on Wednesday, and was 30 . 219 in. The barometer rose to 30.24 in. at 9h. a.m. on Thursday. The mean temperature of the week was 48.0 deg., which is 21 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day of the week, except Monday. The highest temperature of the week was 68 . 8 deg., and occurred on Saturday ; the lowest was 33 . 1 deg., and occurred on Friday. The mean dew-point temperature was 40 . 3 deg., the difference between that and the mean air temperature being 7 . 7 deg. The wind blew generally from the north-east. No rain fell except on Thursday, when the amount was only 0.03 in. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, APRIL 15.

A COMMISSARIAT FOR THE BALTIC FLEET. Letters from officers in the Baltic complain bitterly, and with much justice, of the want of a commissariat. Exchange at. Copenhagen on bills is ruinously high, and stock of all kinds extravagantly dear. The officers are much in want of money, but are loth to cash their bills at such a loss. It is truly astonishing, and discreditable to the authorities,' that no Admiralty commissariat has been. organised. The offioers of the fleet ought now to be receiving their pay monthly in easb,'or bills, if it suits better. Were there but a company of infantry there, or a dozen - artillerytnen, there would be a commissariat organised for their convenience; with a military chest well supplied. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. LieUtenants—Arthur Wright (1854), recently serving in the Harlequin,l2, sloop, on the West Coast of Africa station, to the l'hcenix, screw steanr-sloop, fitting at Woolwich for the Arctic:regions, and to convey stores for the relief of Sir Edward Belcher's expedition ; William E. Gordon (1853), to the St. George, 121, for service with the Baltic fleet. Master John G. Mugford (1841) is appointed to the Fisgard, flag-ship, at Woolwich, vice Master Philip C. D. Bean, who has served as master of the Fisgard since April 12, 1851. PROMOTIONS. Commanders—Jamed A. Paynter (1846) ; James -C. Prevost (1844) serving in the Portland, 50, flag-ship, on the Pacific station ; Sir W. S. Wiseman, Bart (1846), serving in the Excellent, gunnery-ship, at Portsmouth ; Nicholas Vansittart (1847), to be captains for rank. Lieutenants—Wilhain E. A. Gordon (1842), serving in the St. George, 121 ; Frederick T. C. Strode (1842), serving in the Victory, flag-ship at Portsmouth ;. George 0. Wiles (1844), serving as first-lieutenant of the Re tribution, 28, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, in the Black Sea, to be commanders for rank. EMBARKATION OF THE 17TH LANCERS.—The first squadron of this gallant and distinguished regiment, which has been billeted during the past week at Havant, Fareham, Emsworth, Cosham, and villages surrounding Portsmouth, entered this garrison about half-past ten yesterday morning, for embarkation. The first company numbered about 70, and the second about 60, and their march from the place of billet to Portsmouth dockyard was one prolonged ovation ; the whole resident popula tion seemed to have turned out to cheer them on their way. The horses caracoled down the streets in most enlivening array, to the shouts of hearty compliment ever and anon poured forth on their riders, whose pennons, fluttering in the breeze, gave both novelty and interest to their martial appearance. The main street of the town of Portsea was so densely packed that business was stopped, as was the thoroughfare for pedestrians for the time. On reaching the place of embarkation the troops dismounted, the horses were slung into the ships Pride of the Ocean and Ganges, which were towed out to Spithead by Government tugs, on their way to the seat of war in the East. The head-quarters will em bark as soon as the transports for their accommodation arrive. The troops which have embarked are Captaiii ' Webb's and Captain Winter's. DEPARTURE OF THE MELITA WITU TROOPS FROM LIVERPOOL.- The Cunard Company's screw steamer Melita sailed yesterday for the Mediterranean, with 40 men of the 19th Regiment, 27 servants, 33 horses, and 300 tons of Government stores. The horses Were put on board at the Coburg dock, on Monday, without the slightest accident. The accommodation for them on deck is of a superior kind, and they will experience but little inconvenience on the passage. Some little excite ment was caused by one of the horses leaping from the gangway to the house-deck, a distance of 8 feet. He remained, however, perfectly still, until—though not without some difficulty—he was got down to his proper berth. A number of officers sailed in the Melita, in cluding Brigadier-General Sir J. Campbell, Captain Wood Snodgrass, A.D.G., Colonel Hastings Doyle, A.A.G., Major Pakenham, Major Airey, quartermaster general ; Captain Wortley, C.M. Rifles ; Captain Weir, 50th Rifles ; Captain Butler, 55th Rifles. MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.—The remaining portion of the Nth Light Dragoons left the Birmingham barracks yesterday morning for Coventry, en route for Hounslow, previous to their embarkation for the East. In the course of the day a considerable detachment of the 6th Enniskillens arrived in the same town from Lichfield, and this morning leaveThirmingham on their way to one of the western ports. Their route will be through Bromsgrove, Worcester, Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Exe ter, and other towns to Plymouth, where it is under stood they will embark for Turkey. The men Were ap parently in high spirits, and were most cordially received by the inhabitants of Birmingham, to whom the regi ment, from frequent quarterings, was well known. Another portion of the regiment has proceeded from Derby through Warwick, westward, destined for the same service. EXPERIMENTS WITH THE MINIE MUSKET AT MALTA. The following report has been received from Malta:— " School of MUsketry, Malta, April 6, 1854. "The following report and return annexed is the result of a trial, conducted at the School of Musketry, for the pur pose of ascertaining-Ist, Whether or not the melting of the grease around the base and sides of the Minie car tridges is likely to produce any serious inconvenience in loading the firelock, and whether any injurious effects thereby arising may not be obviated by wetting the car tridge in the mouth before loading ; 2nd, Whether the ordinary spherical musket bullets can be fired'out of the Minie muskets, and to what extent ; also to ascertain the best method of loading the Minie musket with the spherical bullet. " Having caused 60 rounds of Minie cartridge to be put before the fire until the whole of the grease was melted, the cartridges were then wiped perfectly clean, so that no grease remained except what had soaked into the paper, I then had 64 rouado find with the greaeed "In order to ascertain . the effect of loading the Minie musket with spherical bullet, I had 60 rounds fired'from thvedrumeri (smooth bore). musket; Waded - in the ordi-, nary way, and the time noted ; 60 rounds were then fired" from the Mink intisket, witting the bullet, reversing it, and tearing off the paper, as if loading with the Minie cartridge ; it was found that the first 30 rounds loaded with ease, but that subsequently it began to load very bad, continuing to do so until the 60 rounds were expended. The time.occupied.jn.firing was 45 minutes, or about the same time occupied in loading with the Millie bullet in the same manner. The accuracy of fire was found to be greater than with the common musket. " Whilst on this subject I would venture to call atten tion to the fact, that the troops proceeding to the East are tmprovided With any regular means of carrying oil, without which the Millie musket will soon become use less, the shallow grooves will soon be obliterated, and even the smallest particle of hard rust in the barrel has often been found sufficient to cause the bullet to strip. Many soldiers have provided themselves with oil, but it : cannot be expected that all should put themselves to this expense. I would suggest that, in preference to every man carrying a small bottle (as is the custom, I believe, in the French service), it would be better that it should be carried by companies ; one man might be told off after firing, to oil the barrels of a whole company. "The following is a return showing the particulars of the above-mentioned trial, and likewise some additional rules, which it is found necessary to have issued for the guidance of thOse using the Miniti musket : Hits. .; E • Description cif Experiment, I . g .*1 A I. g " 0 :2 --- Sixty rounds ' of Minie cartridge .

Military " bull's eye" is supposed •to be• a man's chest, within the vicinity of - his heart ; centres" are those which strike a man, either `below or , a‘bovd the:chest ; and " outers" are those which strike a marl either in' the head or legs. " AtEMORANDUIII. " The following additional rules are suggested to be attended to in the use of the' Minis musket : " 1. It is desirable at a firing in the ranks (file firing or volleys) the men should be taught to use their fire locks without raising the fiat of the sight ; as, arranged for 100 yards, it will be necessary to make allowances for the increased elevation requisite for greater glistauces by aiming according to the following rules At 150 yards, take the sight full. " At 200 yards, allign the point of the foresight with the bull's-eye or mark, and see the barrel over the top of the back sight, as far as the second loop. " At 300 yards, allign the point of the foresight with the bull's-eye or mark, and see the barrel over the top of the back sight as far as the third loop. " At 400 yards, allign the point of the foresight with the mark, and take the elevation from the top of the nose of the lock, when at full cock. " At intermediate distances the soldier must be guided by his own judgment in obtaining proper elevation. " 2. The greatest attention must be paid to the clean liness of the pouches in the insides, especially when the ammunition is in the pouch loose, that no dirt or dust may adhere to greased part of the cartridge, which would cause the bullet to stick to the barrel in loading. " 3. Whenever the grease around the bullet appears to be melted away, or otherwise removed from the cartridge, the base and sides of the bullet should be wetted in the mouth before putting it in the barrel. " 4. In loading the Minie musket with the common spherical ammunition, shake out about one-third of the powder, reverse the cartridge, and tear off the paper as if loading with the Minie cartridge, and wet the bullet in the mouth before putting it in the barrel. "5. The greatest attention should be taken, in clean ing the arms, that the point of the foresight is not worn or damaged. " 6, As the range of the spherical bullet, when fired from the Minie musket, is shorter than that of the Millie bullet (for which the sights are arranged), allow ances must be made by aiming as follows, viz. : " At 500 yards, use the 200 yards' sight full. "At 300 yards, use the 300 yards' sight full, aiming a little high. " 7. Whenever the barrel gets so full that the bullet is crammed home with difficulty, pour a few drops of water (if any at hand) into the barrel after loading. (Sig❑ed) " A. LANE Fox, "First Instructor, School of Musketry." THE MILITIA. The 28 days' training of the Essex Rifles commenced yesterday at Colchester. On Saturday the work of " bil letting" the men at the various public houses in the town was completed. On Monday the Colchester men were marched to the bath-house, Osborne-street, to undergo the customary ablution previous to being served with their regimentals. After the arrival of the countrymen next day they were also to be marched to the bath, and then furnished with their dresses. The total strength of the regiment is said to be 846, but in consequence of many having enlisted into the regulars, some deserted, and others having removed from their parishes, and not receiving their notices, it was thought lik e ly that there would be numerous absentees, and the regiment very far short of its complement, Last year the regiment was brought to a state of great military efficiency, principally by the valuable services of a detachment of the 2d bat talion of the Rifle Brigade, but, the gallant fellows being now ordered to the seat of war in the East, it is expected that the instruction will devolve upon the officers and the regimental staff. The eight Colchester corporals, who were a short time ago at Dover, being thoroughly initiated in the routine of discipline and duty as riflemen, will also act as instructors of their comrades. We are happy to hear that arrange ments are being made for instructing the men in reading and writing, as last year ; and that the public hall will be fitted up as a reading-room for the non-commissioned officers and privates. The Royal Dorset Regiment of Militia will assemble for exercise at Dorchester on the 2d of May next. The period appointed for their training is 28 days, during which time they will be under the command of Colonel Bingham. The conduct of the men on the last occasion of their assembling at Dorchester has been such as to call forth the special approbation of the Mayor. The 3d West York Militia, under the command of Colonel Ferrara Loftus, assembled at Doncaster for 28 days' training yesterday. The full complement of the regiment amounts to 1,030, but, owing to enlistments into the line and other causes, the present strength of the corps is, we understand, about 200 short of that number. It may be mentioned, however, that the deficiency is not so great this year as it was last, and that several of the recruits who for various reasons failed to present there selves at the last training have turned up on this occa sion. The regiment is called up two months earlier this year than last, in order to avoid training the men under the oppressive heat of summer. The list of office" posted in the regimental order-book includes, besides the colonel of the regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel John Bar nett, of Kirk Hammerton, Boroughbridge Major Ralph Cre3lce, Rawcliffe-hall, Selby; Adjutant Pro thero, Doncaster, 10 captains, 11 lieutenants, and 9 ensigns. The Hampshire Regiment of Militia a ssembled at Winchester on the 4th of this month for 28 days train ing under the command of Colonel the Marquis of Win chester. During the short period that has elapsed since the commencement of the drill the men have • improved wonderfully. It cannot be expected that in so short a period as 28 days a body of men c ouldnttain a great de gree of discipline, but in 6 m onths this regiment, to all appearance, would be very efficient, and produce, if re quired, good and effective men to serve in the line.

Are the English becoMe such freah-water sailors 'that they are forced to permit an enemy to snatch a prize from their grasp be cause: they dare not trust themselves to the elements which he braves with impunity t - We have taken upon ourselves the blockade of the Black Sea, and the man ner in which we. appear to execute that duty is by lying! snug, in harbour ourselves, and vainly hoping that our antagoniiit will do the same. It was not by such timid and sleepy proceedings as these that the reputation of the English ; navy was made, nor is it by these that it can be maintained. What avails our naval superiority if it be so'slothfully and negligently put fOrth as to leave the seas open to eur enemies; and' enable them to act is if an overpowering naval- force were not present? Our fleet has been a witness of the disaster of Sinope, which; if iteOuld not prevent, it might at any rate have -avenged, and it now sees our enemies reinforeed with the same impunity as that with *hith our friends were destroyed., Better to peril our ships in the storms of the Enxine than to keep them safe at such an inglorious price. If they are to avail nothing towards checking the operations of our enemies or protecting the weakness of our friends, it matters not greatly whether they are preserved to us or not. If we turn from the sea to the land, it seems not no natural to ask, what is being done with our cavalry ? Are they really to go or are they to 'stay t 'lf the army' is to be kept waiting for them,. why are they here Why are their commanding officers 'still in London ? We are counting too much upon Russian complaisance. Whether their movements "be 'judicious 'or not, they are con ducted with vigour and -decision, -and are the acts of men who thorougly appreciate the value of time. - The Moment the first, relaxation of winter made operations practicable they were in the field. Not a day was lost in crossing the Danube and putting matters to the arbi trament of a battle, But these enemies, so active and so intrepid, we oppose with generals not yet emanci pated.froin the silken dalliance of London drawing-rooms .and Parisian saloons ; with infantry whom we have kept for a month eating - oranges on the rock "of Malta, While idle 'transports stood ready for their conveyance, and with cavalry, three troops .only of, - whom are yet em barked. We shall probably be. informed that it is „great presump tion in : the press to remark on m a tt e r s of so• purely • a professional nature, but we appeal from such: conventibnal answers to the common sense, of, our . leaders, and ask„ without, fear of con tradiction, whether there be any one who either thinks that our' army is not very . greatly needed in the East, 4 that it has been despatched with-the vigour and celerity ,which. the resources of the country permit and the situation of our affairs demands. The speed with which our men were sent to Malta showed what could be done with the means at our disposal, and the delay which has since supervened how easily those means could be wasted and misapplied.' The public can only attribute such mortifying and unexpected remissness at , the very moment when events call most loudly for, des patch to the evils of that system Of divided authority that multiplicationlof departments and frittering away of responsibility which attaches so conspicuously to our administration of war. War has hitherto been the Sa turnalia of Goverimient, responsibility has been relaxed, and the-public - eye, intent on the more prominent actors in the game, has: had little attention to spare for those not less . potent eget:mica that are placed-behind the scenes. But this will not be so now. The mechanism. of govern ment is better Understood, the 'difficulties to be sur mounted and the means of surmounting them are tho roughly appreciated, and, in proportion as the resources of war are greater, the_ responsibility of those who put them in motion will be greater also. We are but just launched on the'eentest, but already we have seen, our selves twice baffied'without striking a blow, and our fleet and our army loitering in compulsory 'idleness, while the game in which 'they should , biar . a part is played out by other hands. . (Front the Morning Herald.) Nothing can be more insulting or humiliating to the common sense and good feeling of the English people than the poor and transparent shams with which that portion of the press devoted to Peelisna and Russia at tempts to mislead them, from straightforward and manly opinions, into a false sentimentality utterly unworthy of them. There is, however, one of those wretched plausi bilities which is at the present moment more promi nently put forward than any of its brethren, and which it is especially necessary to expose, as, however, con temptible in itself, its prevalence to any extent would be fearfully dangerous to the honour and interests of the country. We are happy to observe that one of our contemporaries, with whom we have always co-operated on the Turkish question, and who was at first inclined to give more weight to the delusion than it merited, has now repudiated it with the contempt it deserves. The sham to which we allude is this—that it ii " unpatriotic" to expose the misdeeds of the Coalition, because they have involved the country in a war, as by so doing we might cripple their energies ! Really this is the most daring and dangerous assump tion we ever recollect to have heard put forward. Because this Government by a long course of fraud—nay, of abso lute treachery—has at length involved us in a contest with Russia, we are to place implicit confidence in their future proceedings ! This certainly is a singular doctrine — that the more untrustworthy our Administeation has shown itself to be, the more unflinching confidence we are to place in it hereafter. Why, what must the mental condition of a country be reduced to in which so mon strous a sham can obtain a moment's approbation ? One of our ministerial contemporaries, the 671014, h as amused itself by stating that Mr. Urquhart m ust he in sane because he announced his belief that our Ministry are not even now sincere in their effort? - sr where to si t s! h th y e , Turks against the assaults of the modern Attila. .tlsat if he parades does the writer live ?

Lord Clarendon se xpression of confide nc e i n the Czar ' s peaceable intentions, when he had in his desk the com munication from the Turkish Prime Minister that Prince Menschilsoff had offered the Porte the assistance of a fleet a army of 400,000 men, to make war against his we ll-b e loved English ally, proves to demonstration that an assertion made by the Coalition Cabinet is simply et • terly unworthy of the most infinitesimal portion of belief that can be attached to any declaration • and we shall, t h e refore, confine ou rse l ves to facts which cannot be de nied, and leave the deductions to our readers. We are now going to make an admission that we are well aware will astonish our readers, but we hope to ex plain away satisfactorily the surprise which they. will undoubtedly feel. The admission is this—that through the svhele of these proceedings Lord Aberdeen may have imagined —nay, WO believe, did fancy that he was acting a patriotic part. 'We utterly and entirely repu diate any appearance of approval of the means by which he carried out his policy ; those means were utterly un warrantable, being simply a system of chicanery and double dealing of which the most ardent disciple of Loyola might have been ashamed—but we do concede that in the main he imagined his policy to be the best for England. This very belief is, however, one of the meet important reasons why that policy should be well understood, as we are firmly convinced it is a most de structive one, and that the present Premier will cling to it pertinaciously through evil and through good. Let Englishmen, then, ponder upon this fact, that Lord Aberdeen _believes, and will always act upon the belief, that the future safety of England and the peace of Europe depend upon the close connection of the British empire with the despotic powers. The probable results of a continued attempt to coerce or deceive the nation into suctt a %nor and the roiatitine with which it will ke met ( &if when Once the people are convinced that sue i is the object of their rulers, are really too fearful to contemplate with--; out dylpay, S ns l i a struggle would, we verily upheave the' ir ery foundations of society. Lord Aber. ' l deen, as has be en o ft en stated, commenced his career as a pupil of Metternich, the statesmen par excellence, of the Holy Alliance, an d b y t h e traditions of that asso ciation the whole political life of the Premier bus been guided. It is useless to refer -to theevidence, whir& must hay • long siticehad its effect upon thepnblic mind, of, the in timate connection of the Clar and' the Premier as -far back as Adrianople in 1829, and the conferences of Lon don in.1844,.0r to the fact that the Emperor Nicholas resumed his designs within twelve days after his " old friend's " instalment in: offiee. We pass over, also the 12 months of purpOselY prolOnged negociations; the•slaken ing catastrophe of Sinope, the delays. o f malt*, Besika, Beycos, and_ the various cheeks which we have imposed upon the Turks, and our hindrances of their acting with energy at the proper tune. All these topics are familiar to'our readers and we come to the present state of things. In the first place, the Russians „have crossed the Danube in force, and' our auxiliary' army of infantry is on the high seas, with a miserable force of artillery; and not a, single cavalry soldier.- That army , will nut befit to move out _of its cantonments at Gallipoli before Augug. - • • -- • • . • - • .Thatarmy; aa.we told -our readers m the autumn of lastyear, should now be in activity at Varna, where the presence - of an A nglo;French. force of 89,009 men would probably turn the scale of battle, and' perhaps finish the war. But to have been at Varna in the early spring, such an auitiliary army should hate been orga nised an the winter. It was not so organised, and if sent to the Danube in the autumn it .will ne lost. Now England mustreap the bitter fruits of being unprepared: Up to the very latest moment the Coalition thought that they could avoid the war ; and even now they ima gine that - it will never become a serious conflict. w e are not going to cast censure upon any officer employed by the Crown, in any delay which has - taken place ; however we may lament dilatory proceedings, we are sure that they are acting under orders.' Soldiers are never independent until absolutely in 'the field. Often —too often—not then. It has been openly asserted that Lord Raglan makes no secret of his opinion that " that there will ba no serious fighting in Turkey." We not believe that the noble Chief of the Eastern ex pedition ever did make such an assertion ; but we do believe that he expressed an opinion " that there would be none this year." We fear that in so doing his lord ship only enunciated a self-evident fact. Her Majesty's Ministers have taken good care, that unless the Turks are - totally d e f eate d on the anube, and early in the year, that there shall be none. To send English or French troops -to Varna in driblets, we assert, is to throw away their lives ; and no large body can possibly take the field before -the fever commences in July. We are, therefore, to have another year of fruitless negotiations —another year of exhausting expense to Turkey—an other year of machinations on the part of Russia to rouse the stave populations—another year for Austria to • find out that Thessaly and Macedonia require her fos tering-care as well as Servia and Bosnia, and to see the necessity of occupying them, always in the interests of the Ottoman Porte—another year for - the Czar to at tempt to sow dissensions between England and France. Where, we ask,' , does it appear that the Coalition is now in earnest any more than it was twelve months since— and if it be not apparent, why should we trust or spare them ? Again, referring to the Turkish news, we find, "the new Mufti has been insulted."_ Who has done this 'f We answer, Lord Aberdeen ; he it is who has thrown the apple of discord between the Sultan and the fanatic Mus sulman population. Why was this done, if not in the interests of Russia ? The fleet was kept at Beim; Bay to coerce the population of the Capital, and now that it has taken its departure even the Times seea the danger. So, characteristically, does, the ,servile weekly organ of the Peelites, the - once respected Spectator—it now.finds out that "Turkish reforms may become an item in the accounts of the English Chancellor of the Exche quer.", Russianinterests, however, required that these disturbing questions should be thrown into the already seething cauldron, and Lord Clarendon did his duty: The secret despatches and the St. Petersbourg . Journal have shown that the Czar always held that the introduction of those questions at a critical period was the surest' lever for breaking up the Ottoman empire ; and the Coalition took the hint. .11Iost assuredly had he been really consulted, such is the advice he would have given. We say again, Lord Aberdeen does not calcu late on a war.- Let us look at home and see what pre parations are making for carrying it- on. . The Chancellor of the Excheqtier has made no sign of monetary prepara tion, except a small addition to the income tax. Surely even the author of the abortive attempt to pay off the South Sea Bonds does not imagine that a conflict with the hugest military powerin the world can be carried on out of the current revenue of the country. But if we are not providing money, perhaps we are preparing sol diers. W do not believe that that great warrior , the Colonial Secr e t ar y , can fan c y th a t 25 ,000 men will suf fice for so great . work: Where, then, are the militia, from which the ardy -is—to draft - its supplies ? It is exactly where Lord Derby's Government left it : - 50;000 men have been enrolled, out of the 80,000 promised for this year, and the magniloquent announcement - tliat the Seetch and Irish co4tingents were to be called 'out has pissed aNVay to the winds; With these facts beforithem, we fancy few will agree witu the Globe. that ,Mr. Vrqulaart is insane when he asserts that the Coalition are pot in earnest in -support ing the Turkish empire. • THE RIGHTS OF NEUTRALS. (Front the Gazette of Tuesday.) At the Court at Windsor, the 15th day of April, 1854, present, the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. Whereas her Majesty was graciously pleased, on the 28th day of March last, to issue her Royal declaration in the following terms : " Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom .40f Great Britain and Ireland, having been compelled to take up arms in support of an ally, is desirous of rendering the war as little onerous as possible to the powers with whom she remains at peace. "To preserve the commerce of neutrals from all ,un,, necessary obstruction, her Majesty is willing, .for the present, to waive a part of the belligerent rights apper• taining to her by ; the law of nations. " It is impossible for her Majesty to forego the exer cise of her right of seizing articles contraband of war, and of preventing neutrals from bearing the enemy's despatches, and she must maintain the right of a belli gerent to prevent neutrals from breaking any effective blockade which may be established with an adequate force against the enemy's forts, harbours, or coasts. _ - " But her Majesty will waive the right of seizing enemy's property laden on board a neutral vessel, unless it be contraband of war. "It is not Her Majesty's intention to claim the con fiscation of neutral property not being contraband of war, found on board enemy's ships ; and her Majesty further declares that, being anxious to lessen as much as possible the evils of war, and to restrict its opera.. tions to the regularly organised forCes of the country, it is not her present intention, to issue letters of marque for the commissioning of privateers." Now it is this day ordered, by and with the advice of her Privy Councils, that all vessels under a neutral or friendly flag, being neutral or friendly property shall be permitted to import into any port or place in her Ma jesty's domi n i ons a ll goods and merchandise wh a t soever to whomso ever the same may belong, an d to export from any p or t o r place in her Majesty's domini ons t o any con traband n n d o t ofblockaded, o r any cargo or go o d s not b eing con- not requiring a special permission, to whomsoever the same may belong.

Whereas, by an Order in of her Majesty in Coq/fell, .1 of the 29th of March last, it was, among other things„ ordered, " that an y R uss i an merc h an t vesse l w hi c h-, prior to the date of this order shall have sailed from any foreign port, bound for any port or place in her Ma- t jesty's dominions, shall be permitted to enter such port or place and to discharge her "cargo, and afterwards forthwith to depart without molestation ; and that any , such vessel, if met at sea by any of her Illajesty's ships. shall be permitted to continue her voyage to any port not blockaded." And whereas her Majesty, by and with, the advice of her said Council, is now pleased to alter extend such part of the said order, it is hereby orderod, by and with such advice as aforesaid, as follows—that is to say, that any Russian merchant vessel whicfi, prior to the 15th day of May, 1554, shall have sailed from any port of Russia situated either in or upon the shores or coasts of the Baltic Sea or of the White Sea, bound for any port or place in her Majesty's dominions, shall be permitted , to enter such last-mentioned port or place and to dis charge her cargo, and afterwards forthwith to d e p ar t ' without molestation ; and that any such vessel, if met at sea by any of her Majesty's ships, shall be permitted to continue her voyage to'any port not blockaded. And her Majesty is pleased, by and with the advice aforesaid, further to order, and it is hereby further or- '- dered, that in all other respects her Majesty's aforesaid order in Council of the 29th day of March last shall be and remain in full force, effect, and operation. And the Right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, and the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, are to give the necessary directions herein as to them may respeCtively. appertain.
