Etc., &e. Tile essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon iequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation In Man riood, 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 having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and wheti wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-irdulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may he avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree 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.

"Mr. James Fair, being examined, admits having made a communication in substance such as has been stated by Dr. Gray. " Your committee have examined Mr. Fair, Mr. C. O'Hara, jun., and Mr. Graham. It is impossible from the nature of his evidence to say how far Mr. Fair was or was then accidentally absent in London. The remarks of the Times had been referred to as unfavourable to the un dertaking, but there seemed, notwithstanding, to be a feeling in favour of carrying it out, and one of the aldermen had immediately subscribed 1001. towards it. The Mayor of Liverpool was also unavoidably absent, and the rest of the corporation had postponed taking any step until his return, but the same feeling seemed to exist there as in Manchester. not justified in drawing the inference he seems to have done from his conversation with Mr. Charles O'Hara. " Your committee have examined the Solicitor-General for Ireland and the hon. member for Mayo with reference to their speeches. " The evidence given by these hon. members is not, in the opinion of your committee, sufficient to sustain the general allegation of corruption they are reported to have expressed at Ballina and Wexford respectively. Mr. Patrick Tottrell, Mr. P,indon, and Mr. James Walker, the persons beforenanqed by Dr. Gray, were ex amined. The result of the examination of these witnesses Mr. MEcni stated that he had visited Oxford with Mr. Causton, and the municipal authorities of that place, after they had explained to them that their object was not of a local character, had promised to co-operate in receiving their foreign friends in a manner worthy of the nation. (Hear, hear.) They had visited Sheffield, Leeds, and Hull with the same result, and he believed they should also be supported by the press. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. GEACH, M.P., moved,— has not sustained the expectation of Dr Gray. " Mr. Ackans, also named by Dr. Gray, gave evidence about a subscription got up for Mr. Reynolds, late member for Dublin, but that transaction does not appear to have a nything to do with this inquiry. Mr. Henry Stonor, the other witness named by Dr. Gray, is out of England. " Dr. Gray having said that, during his examination by this committee, the hon. member for Meath had, in the course of conversation, spoken of rumours affecting Mr. Burke Roche and Mr. Daniel O'Connell, as having sold places, or as having obtained a pecuniary advantage by disposing of them, your committee examined Mr. Lucas thereon. " Your committee are of opinion that the story, so far as Mr. Burke Roche is concerned, had its origin in an anonymous letter, published in, the ,Standard newspaper, and is false and unfounded. Nothing came before the com mittee to show why Mr. D. O'Connell's name had been mentioned. " That a subscription be entered into for carrying into effect the object of this meeting ; that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor be appointed treasurer, and the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P., Lord Viscount Ebrington Mr. J. Master man, M.P., Sir J. Duke , M.P. , and Baron Lionel do Rothschild, M.P., be respectfully requested to act as trustees, and the bankers in London and the country be solicited to. receive subscriptions ; and that the mayors, provosts, chief officers, and magistrates of the cities and boroughs of the- "United Kingdom be also requested to sanction the addition of their names to the committee, with a view to the augmentation of the funds, by opening subscription lists in their local districts." He thought that the people ought to have an oppor tunity of showing their approval of the union between the Governments of France and England, and he hoped that they would do so by subscribing towards this un dertaking. He might mention that the subscriptions already entered into were for sums varying from 100 guineas to one shilling. (Hear, hear.) Mr. UzrELLI, as a British merchant, who had had transactions with the French nation, heartily seconded the resolution. Mr. DUNFORD said he was a working man who had worked his way up to the position he now occupied, and, as it was chiefly upon the working classes that the weight of the expense of the war would fall, he was practically interested in maintaining a good feeling be tween his countrymen and the French. He was the more interested in this, because one of his sons was in the Guards, and two others were with Admiral Dundas— (hear, hear)— and he therefore heartily supported the present movement. The resolution was agreed to. Viscount EBIIINGTON moved, "That the noblemen and gentlemen whose names appeared in the printed lists be constituted a committee to conduct the entertain ments, with power to add to their number." He hoped that they should never hear the expression which Mr. Dunford used—" the working classes"— uttered invi diously. (Hear, hear.) He believed that no one in the country worked harder than the Sovereign who presided over our destinies—(hear, hear) —and many of those who were born in a high station worked with their heads quite as hard as any labouring man among us did with his hands. It was desirable that we should all recog nise the dignity of work, and do nothing that would tend to introduce class distinctions, and he hoped the time might come when, instead of work being considered a disgrace, selfish indolence would be scouted by all ranks. (Cheers.) It was no longer true that the chief burden of a war fell upon the working classes, as all legis lation had recently tended to decrease the burdens of the lower and increase those of the higher classes. It was desirable that there should be union and friendship, not only between the Governments, but between the people of France and England, for the knife of an assassin, or some accident, might upon any day change the head of the Government of a State, and if an alliance depended upon the life of one individual there would be little security indeed for its permanency. He therefore rejoiced that we were now met to stimulate and encourage a national movement of this sort, and to invite our French friends to partake of our hospitality. Sinco the days of Henry IV., of glorious memory, no monarch had sat upon the throne of France who had given evidence of so much goodwill and cordiality to wards England as the present Emperor—(cheers)—who had acted with us without jealousy or arriere pensje, and seconded by able Ministers, had, in a straightfor ward manner, promoted the joint interests of the two countries. Mr. OLIVEIRA, M.P., in seconding the resolution, bore testimony to the good feeling towards the Eng lish nation which prevailed throughout the whole of France. Your committee are also of opinion that both those gentlemen have just reason to complain that they have been made the subject of false and injurious reports and impu tations. "The lion. member for Meath being examined, in con sequence of a correspondenc e in the Tablet newspaper, of 11th February, admitted to be written by him, ma d e , among others, a distinct charge against the Solicitor-Gene ral for Ireland of corrupt conduct, and with having made promises and oaths which were deliberately broken. "Mr. Lucas, when asked to explain this accusation, dia. claimed any intention of imputing to Mr. Keogh that `ho had been connected with the sale of places for m oney , or that `ho had ever heard his name mentioned in connexion with such practices;' neither did he mean by the char ge that he ' had given votes corruptly to obtain patronage f rom the Government;' but he explained and persisted in his accusation, as referring to the circumstances under whicb. Mr. Keogh accepted office in a manner, as Mr. Lucas al leged, inconsistent with his previous conduct and pledges. " In support of this charge Mr. Lucas referred your com mittee to speeches of Mr. Keogh, and incidents in his po litical conduct, which he alleged gave to his acceptance of office, on the formation of the present Government, the character which he attributed to it. It appeared to your committee that the charge resolved itself into an impeach ment of the public and political conduct of the hon mem ber referred to, matters upon which they do not consider it their duty to offer any opinion to the house. " The publication in the Tablet contained other charges of matters within the cognisance of your committee. With reference to these charges Mr. Lucas was also examined, and your committee are of opinion the hon. member for Meath has not substantiated them in proof. " The hon. member for Dublin University (Mr. Napier), for Youghal (Mr. Butt), for Mayo (Mr. Moors), for Antrim (Mr. Macartney), and Manchester (Mr. Bright), having been named by Mr. Lucas as being able to give evidence material to this inquiry, were severally examined. " The cages, however, with which these hon. members were presumed to have been acquainted, have been ex amined into and found groundless. " At the close of the inquiry Mr. W. A. Dane, a solicitor of Dublin, came before the committee and informed them ' That a gentleman who was in my house within the last fortnight told me that a situation had been promised to be obtained by a member of this House (the situation of a re sident magistrate); and that in consideration of that pro mise a gentleman accepted bills for 1,0001. for the hon. member;' that, having failed in obtaining that appoint• ment, `there was another appointment obtained, and the gentleman referred to was absolutely filling it at the pre sent moment.' The office was in the Excise.' " It came out in examination that the member referred to was the Solicitor-General for Ireland; that Colonel Smith, formerly Assistant Adjutant-General at Athlone, and resident there, was the person said to have accepted ; the bills and that the place in the Excise was for his son, Mr. Lambert Smith. " This story appears to have arisen from the facts that Mr. Lambert Smith holds a place in the Customs, and that pecuniary transactions connected with election expenses, in 1847, had taken place between Colonel Smith and Mr. Keogh, not in any way connected with the appointment. "Mr. Lambert Smith's appointment took place in 1845, ono year and a half before Mr. Keogh entered Parliament; and it has been shown to your committee that Mr. Keogh had nothing whatever to do with it. " When your committee separated on the 30th of March, before the Easter recess, your committee understood that the evidence to sustain the charge against the Solicitor- General had terminated ; but when your committee met again after the recess, a letter addressed to the chairman, from Mr. W. A. Dane, was read, in consequence of which your committee permitted the caw to be reopened, and re ceived more evidence. The charge assumed an unaltered shape ; but having carefully examined all the evidence that was adduced on this head, your committee are of opi nion this charge is false and unfounded. " The name of Mr. Patrick Somers, late member for Sligo, having been by several witnesses brought before this committee, it is due to that gentleman to say that no proof has been made to implicate him in any improper or corrupt ',rausaction. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. F. BENNOCH proposed, and Colonel FREESTUN, M.P., seconded a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, which was carried unanimously. • The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, observed that those who imputed to him anything like the personal motives for' connecting himself with this movement which he had seen very vulgarly imputed to him were never more mistaken in their lives. (Hear, hear.). lie had motives for acting as he had done, because he desired to see the advancement of this country, and the exten sion of the freedom of which we boasted to other nations, and he firmly believed that the best mode of attaining those objects would be to cement the friendship that existed between England and France. The French were a sensitive people, and he asked whether we ought to refuse to meet those advances which they had of late made to us ? Should it be said that the French people had invited and welcomed us, and that we had not re turned their hospitality ? (Hear, hear.) If the feel ings which animated Lim were sound and proper they would be responded to by the country ; and, if they were not, it was remarkable that the opinions he had expressed should not have been controverted in a meet ing like the present. Not a single dissentient having been found to the objects which had been proposed, he had a right to assume, with all respect to the press of this country, that the meeting fairly represented the opinions of his countrymen at large, and that they desired to cement their friendship with the French people by means of social intercourse and the practice of the common courtesies of life. (Cheers.) The meeting then separated. " Mr. Somers attended before your committee, and was examined, and not only denied that there 'was any founda tion for the charges imputed against him in tho evidence of Mr. Kelly and Dr. Gray, but also corroborated the evi dence of Mr. Howley, and further explicitly and solemnly denied that be had ever received any pecuniary considera tion for recommending any one to the patronage of Go vernment. " Your committee reports that, having followed up and exhausted such sources of information as have been sug gested by the various witnesses, no case of corruption has been proved. " It appears to your committee that the persons who have preferred against a section of the Irish members the charges whloh have led to this inquiry have failed to support them. Your committee have given every facility for this purpose, and extended their inquiries to a latitude which has not unfrequently involved them in the reception of idle gossip and the investigation of groundless calumnies. Your com mittee are of opinion that those who gave to the public these statements ought to have been prepared to support them ; and they cannot but regard it as matter both of regret and animadversion, that even the excitement of political passion should have induced gentlemen to place before the public allegations so vitally electing the honour of one class of Irish representatives—allegations which when they had the opportunity of sustaining them, they failed to substantiate by any reliable proof. " Your committee have, however, to add, that respect able witnesses have stated that in Irish society there is a general belief that practicos of the gross traffic indicated in these charges have existed. Not that such practices have been general, but that in some few instances there have been Irish members who have been in the habit of using i n fl uence over Government patronage to obtain pecu niary ry a d van t a ge for themselves. The extent of the impres sion.has been described to your committee, 'as far as it can be traced, as resolving itself into an accusation against not more than three or four.' This impression appears to have existed for some years, and the period over which it ranges to have included many Parliaments. With every anxiety to discover the origin of a belief which is too general to be entirely disregarded, your committee have not been able to trace it to any ground more satisfactory than rumours and suspicions which have acquired a certain hold upon the public mind. In estimating the value which is to be at tached to this general belief, it must not be forgotten that many cases have been brought before your committee which at first appeared to warrant that belief, but which, when thoroughly sifted, were found to supply no foundation for it at all. Your committee have had many instances which establish that in Irish society there is a readiness, upon very' light grounds, to accept conclusions detrimental to the character of political opponents, and, to some extent, a willingness to damage that character without very scrupu lous inquiries as to the grounds upon which the impeach ment rests. It is impossible to reconcile the notoriety of such transactions alleged by some persons with the un questionable fact, that with all the anxiety manifested to establish the charge, and the latitude given by your com mittee, not a single case has been proved. " At the same time, considering the secrecy which would most naturally be observed, the unwillingness of parties to place themselves in the position of accusers, the fact that your committee had no means of searching for evidence, but were limited to such as might be offered, and the want of the power of examining witnesses upon oath ; and fur. ther, that in more than one instance their inquiries h ave been stopped by direct contradiction in the evidence of those examined, your committee are of opinion that no investigation of the nature, and with the powers of that i n trusted to your committee, can satisfact or il y ascertain to what extent there may have existed grounds for the belief to which so many witnesses have deposed. paragraph in the Times of ‘ t ‘ h T e h 6 a t t h , owfiFtharreufaeryrenlcaest,toyotuhre committee rein f eel ell bound . o Preferred,t 0 report to the house their con v i c ti on that there existe d no and e t o c o s t t h a t e e d t w h e a i s r "June 19." CHARACTER OF THE IRISH MEMBERS. The following is the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons, to whom it was referred to examine into and report to the house upon the matter of the complaint made to the house of a paragraph in the Times of the 6th of February, as containing calumnious reflections on the Irish members : " That the article in the Times of the Gth of February purports to have been founded upon allegations contained in speeches of Mr. Christopher Kelly and of Dr. Gray, re ported in the Freeman's Journal of the 27th of January last as having been delivered after a public dinner at Team on the 24th of January ; but your committee are of opinion that it was not founded entirely upon those allegation s, inasmuch as they find, by evidence brought b e fore them, that another article of precisely the same tendency, and containing allegations much stronger and more comprehen sive than any contained in the speeches referred to, was published in the Times some months previous. readcyboofththebyremporr.t KineutyheeePrdeboya Dr. Jour Jo u rnale gweeneeraeldameietut Gray. "In the speeches general charges of corruption are brought against a section of tho Irish members, and a par ticular instance is given both by Mr. Kelly and another, Dr. Gray. " The following instance of corruption was stated by Mr. Kelly :--` I knew of my own knowledge in one of the past Parliaments, not the present one, a stipendiary magistracy to have been sold by an independent Irish member for, the sum of 1,0001. The contract between the hon. memberand the pure-minded magistrate were these : -5001. were to be paid by the magistrate for the promise of the place ; the seoond 5001. was to be paid upon the ratification of the promise.' The `own knowledge' of this witness consisted of a conversation said to have taken place in 1841 between the witness and a Mr. Maguire, long since dead who was said to be the solicitor of the member of Parliament re ferred to. " Mr. Kelly stated to your committee that in the year 1841 ho was in the employment of Mr. John Ennis, wLo was a connexion of Mr. Howley, the stipendiary magis trate referred to ; that in that year Mr. Bernard Maguire applied to him to induce Mr. Ennis to exert his influence with Mr. Howley to persuade him to fulfil his promise by paying the sum of 5001. Mr. Kelly stated that, in conse quence of this, he did apply to Mr. Ennis, who indignantly refused to have anything to do with the transaction. Mr. Bernard Maguire, Mr. Kelly stated, professed to act on behalf of a member of Parliament, but he was unable to say whether the member was Mr. Patrick Somers or Mr. Robert Dillon Brown, but he was) quite sure that it was one or other of these gentlemen. " Mr. Ennis denies any recollection of any such applica tion having been made to him, or having held any such con- - versation.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUN :E 29, 1854. THE WAR IN THE EAST. A telegraphic despatch from our Vienna Corre spondent, dated last Tuesday, informs us that the Russian answer to the Austrian demand had not yet been received ; and in the meanwhile the con jectures as to its probable purport are various. The most embarrassing course which the Emperor Nicholas could adopt would be an ostentatious dis play of deference to the wishes of a friend and ally. The opportunity of seizing a plausible excuse for the evacuation of the Principalities might be re garded at St. Petersburg as no less desirable than the prolongation of the neutrality of the German Powers ; and there are hack-writers enough in Europe who would not scruple to falsify history by passing over as insignificant the baffled attack on Silistria, for the purpose of attributing the retreat of the invader to mere considerations of policy. It has been pompously stated in official language that some time since, Russia, Austria, and Prussia con cluded an agreement with a view to the termina tion of the war, and it would not be difficult to represent the recrossing of the Pruth as the mere fulfilment of a secret undertaking. The advance of an Austrian army into Wallachia, as if to pre vent the allies from pursuing their successes, would give a colour to this explanation of events the real cause of which must be patent to all the world. The apparent probability of such a course on the part of Russia has led to a premature statement that it had already been adopted. It is dangerous however, to reason from the interests of Sovereigns to the conduct which they may pursue in any given emergency. While English politicians are express ing anxiety as to the consequences of Russian con - cession, there seems to be little expectation at Vienna that a favourable answer will be returned to the summons for the evacuation of the Princi palities. Warlike preparations are, to all appear ance, continued with unabated energy. A com mander-in-chief is appointed to the army, and it is even stated that Count Coronini, who commands at Semlin, is about to proceed to Schumla for the purpose of making arrangements with Omer Pacha. It is unnecessary to observe that a military move ment undertaken in concert with one belligerent is necessarily an act of war against the other. An Austrian march to Giurgevo, previously approved by the Turkish general, would be as much a com mencement of hostilities as an attack on the Rus- sian outposts. The Governments of England and France are apparently satisfied with the attitude of Austria ; and it must be presumed that they have strong grounds for the confidence which they display. Lord Aberdeen declared on Monday night that he had . pressed the advance of the allied army, both for the purpose of supporting Omer Pacha and of " holding out a hand to Austria." The forces which line the Transylvanian frontier were as sumed by the Premier to be no less friendly than the troops of the Sovereign whose domi nions we have undertaken to protect ; and it is at least as reasonable to suppose that statesmen have reasons for their acts as to believe in the per petual predominance of mean, and yet irresistible cunning. All the theories of anti-Austrian politicians are founded on the questionable hypothesis that the sympathies between Vienna and St. Petersburo , correspond to their reciprocal professions of friend ship ; but the revelations of the past year ought to have satisfied the most superficial political student that, when diplomatic language conveys any mean ing whatever, it may generally be interpreted by contraries. The ambiguity of Austrian professions has led alarmists into the hasty belief that the Western Powers must necessarily be the dupes of insincere promises. Those, however, who attend to facts and motives rather than to empty words, may well believe that the ultimate decision of the Imperial Government will be dictated by its un doubted interests. It is not by - deceiving England and France that intrigues in Sclavonia can be 're pressed, or the Lower Danube opened to the com merce of Germany. It has been assumed, though without sufficient consideration, that the movement of Count Coro nini's troops along the left bank of the Danube will interfere with the pursuit of the retreating Rus sians. There is, indeed, reason to fear that the Allies may he too weak in cavalry to attempt at present any active operations in the Wallachian plains ; and the enemy's force, notwithstanding its losses by disease and by the sword, is still numerous and effective, whilst, as it retires on the Moldavian frontier, it becomes every day more concentrated. The army in Transylvania might at once convert the retreat into a rout ; but the Turks and their auxiliaries may probably not be able to cross the Danube in force. It may be doubted, however, whether the Austrian troops on the Wallachian frontier can, for the present, offer any impediment to an active pursuit. Omer Paella's left wing will be disengaged by the approach even of an am biguous auxiliary ; and if he is strong enough to follow the retreating enemy, he need feel no anxiety as to his flanks or his communications. The Anglo-French forces at Varna and Adri anople are now disposable for service in some other direction. It may be assumed that they will either undertake the reduction of the fortresses on the Lower Danube, or that they will at once be em barked for a more distant and important expedition. The desire of the Allies that Austria should occupy a part of Wallachia appears to imply an intention of operating against Galatz, Reni, and Brailow ; for it may have been thought prudent to protect the advancing troops, not only by a fleet on the coast, but by a friendly force on the left bank of the river. Whatever may be the general policy of the Court of Vienna, there can be no doubt that all Austrian statesmen would view with complacency the expul sion of the enemy from the region which he has long endeavoured to render impervious to com merce. The German partisans of Russia are already boast ing of the aid which, according to their anticipa tions, will be rendered to their cause by the Kino. of Prussia. The treaty w' ith'Austria has, it is said,' become practically void by the retreat of the in vading army ; so that the Court of Berlin is now free to express the sympathies which, even at an earlier period of the dispute, were scarcely dis guised. This expectation is founded, however, on a false assumption. The sentiments of the King of Prussia incline to both sides in turn, but the rea sons which induced him to sign a treaty with Austria are still as valid as they were when the recent con vention was made. The petty States have given in their unqualified adhesion to the arrangement, in the not unnatural belief that the case of war con templated by the contracting parties is in the last degree improbable • yet both the Germa n Powers had grounds for the course which they adopted, and the same motives will induce them to perse vere in a similar policy. Prussia may lean to the enemy as the champion of absolutism and of so called orthodoxy ' • but she would inev itabl y resent any attack on the territory of Austria. The re sources of dissimulation and trickery are, after all, not inexhaustible. It is satisfactory to know that England and France are not bound by the com plicated negotiations of Germany ; and the Wes tern Powers will be content to contribute to a diplomatic solution of the quarrel by proving that, for once, force is not on the side of the wrong-doer. Morning Chronicle. DUPLICITY OF AUSTRI There is no one point on which we have dwelt more earnestly, or to which we have recurred more frequently, since the Eastern question became the engrossing subject of attention , than the du p licity' of Austria. We have not ceased to warn the Western Powers against reposing any confidence whatever in her protestations of friendship. We have assured them that if they did, they would only be deceived at last. It would seem as if all the warnings we have thus given were in vain. France and England have, we are told, consented to th e occu p ation of the anubian Principalities on the part of Austria, and also prevailed on Turkey to give her assent. We cannot, by any exercise of our faculties, conceive what could be the nature of the considerations which have weighed with the 'Western Powers in becoming parties to this occupation. Nothing could, to our minds, be clearer than the fact, that they are the dupes of the cunning and treacherous Court of Vienna. We said before, and repeat it now, that Austria and Russia have from first to last had a perfect under standing together, in reference to this Eastern question ; and that the proposal to take possession of the Principalities by an Austrian army has been made with the concurrence, if not at the sugges tion, of the Czar. We believe it will be found, in the end, that there is a distinct secret engage ment on the part of Austria to retain possession of Moldavia and Wallachia for Russia, and that the Principalities will be given up to the Czar whenever he thinks proper to make a request for that purpose. It is reported in Paris, —and - what is more, is believed in well-informed quarters—that the West ern Powers have even so far forgotten what is due to themselves, to Turkey, andto gurope, as tohave actually omitted to reserve for their own troops. the right of entering the PrinCipalities; We can scarcely credit this. Still more incredible is the statement that Austria has determined not to per mit the armies of France and England to set foot in Moldavia and Wallachia, even as an act of courtesy, should such a step be deemed necessary by them. On this point the well-informed Paris correspondent of the Morning • Chronicle has some observations, which we deem it desirable to trans fer to our columns, " The question," he says, " which • every one asks, is, why Austria is to take possession of the Principalities ? Avowedly she says it is because she considers the attack of Russia an unjust one, and because she sym pathises with the Western Powers in their op position to the views of that Power, and their defence of a weak ally. But there aregreat doubts as to whether she is quite in earnest in the cause adopted by the Western Powers. At the same time that she professes her approbation of the conduct of the allies, and has put her armies in motion to assert their cause, she assumes to herself the posi tion of an arbitrator in the case, and seems dis posed, not only to prevent the unprincipled invader from attaining his ends, but to prevent those who have been unwillingly forced into war to get the satisfaction to which they are entitled, and, more over, to obtain securities against future aggression. In short, Austria appears as much disposed to stand by Russia against the just Vengeance of the allied powers as she is to stand by the allied_powers in their opposition to the usurpation of Russia. If we are to believe public rumour, the Austrian Govern ment is determined, not_only to force Russia to evacuate the Principalities, and to become herself the occupant of those provinces, but she is also de termined to prevent the forces of the allied powers from entering the Principalities during her occu pancy, for the purpose of following up their success. It is almost unnecessary to point out how one-sided such an attitude will be." _ On the consequences of the determination of Austria not to allow the allied forces to enter the Principalities, the same authority very justly re marks :—" If Austria should, as is reported, de clare that the allied forces shall not advance into the Principalities as long aS she occupies them, what will be the result ? kussia, finding that there is an impassable barrier between her territories and the Turkish army on the side of the Principalities, will feel herself at liberty to withdraw the whole of the army which she has at this present moment on that frontier, and to carry them to the Crimea, the Caucasus, or any other poit which may be in danger of attack. Should this occur, the pretended aid given by Austria will become a positive act of hostility to Turkey, and the occupation, so far from being an act of friendship to the Allied Powers, will be a veritable coup de Jarnac. In that case, so far from the occupatio n of the Princi palities being an act of hostility against Russia, it will be the greatest favour the one Emperor could do to his neighbour, the other." This is precisely what we have all along been saying. The whole thing will, in the supposed case, be found to be a collusion. Austria under stands perfectly well what she is about, and, come what may, she feels that all will be well in the end. She will persist till the end of the chapter in fooling France and England to the top of their bent. It is passing strange that no member of either branch of the Legislature has before now put any questions to Ministers as to the nature of the treaty which they have made with Austria relative to this business. We are all .in the dark with regard to the circumstances under which this arrangement has been made. The public want to be enlightened on the subject, and they have a right to know for what reasons, and under what circumstances, the Western Powers have consented to the occupation of the Principalities by Austria. That occupation we regard as, in effect, just the same as if the Rus sians had continued in the possession of Moldavia and Wallachia ' • for in Austria, the Sultan will find, to his cost, as great an enemy as if Russia had continued to retain those provinces.—Morning Advertiser. CELEBRATION OF THE UNION BETWEEN. ' ENGLAND AND FRANCE. A general public meeting was held yesterday at the Egyptian-hall, Mansion-house, to receive a report from the committee of management on the proceedings pro 'posed to be taken at a national festival in celebration of the union between England and France, and to adopt measures thereupon. The Lord Mayor took. the chair at two o'clock, by which time a tolerably numerous as sembly had collected. Among the gentlemen present were—Viscount Ebriugton, M.P., Mr. H. 0-. Langton, M.P., Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Wire, Mr. B. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. Alderman Rose, Mr. M. Uzielli, the Rev. Dr. Vivian, the Rev. Robert Dean, Dr. Truman, Mr. J. Coppoek, Mr. J. Anderton, Mr. E. Davis, Mr. W. Tite, F.R.S., Mr. Alderman Moon, Mr. C. Leach, M.P., Mr. S. C. Hall, F.S.A., Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, Colonel Freestun ' M.P., Mr. J. Masterman, M.P., Lieutenant-Colonel Starr, Mr. W. Brown, M.P., Mr. J. J. Mechi, Mr. Deputy Obbard, Mr. F. Bennoch, Mr. Deputy Bower, Mr. L. Blumberg, Mr. A. Berens, Mr. J. Causton, the Rev. Dr. Biber, the High Bailiff of Southwark, Mr. F. Lloyd, &c. The Loan MAYOR, in opening the proceedings, stated that, on the 7th of June last, a iminber of gentlemen had met at the Mansion-house, at the invitation princi pally of Mr. J. Anderton, for the purpose of considering whether it would be desirable to entertain some of the distinguished citizens of. France in this country. This suggestion originated in the circumstance of the French nation having three years ago invited many - of the dis tinguished men of Great Britain, including members of the aristocracy, men of science, gentlemen who had been officially connected with the Great Exhibition, and gentlemen belonging to the corporation of London, to a series of banquets and entertainments in Paris ; and since that time the hope-had been entertained that a fitting opportunity might arise for them to give a return for the splendid hospitalities which had been shown them, as he believed that none who had partaken of those hospitalities differed in opinion as to the good results they had produced by creating a feeling of hearty goodwill between the French and ourselves. (Hear, hear.) At the meeting of the 7th of June the proposal was generally received with marks of approbation, al though there did exist a doubt in the minds of one or two gentlemen as to whether this was the most fitting b f hriAtr timeiwnaheieaahnsteferllooto7mcmier, important rfeeewhloarrlptetretssi they erehoossgerytuonunyua without Majesty'sent hj h wtaoteadwooeddaoku f thGene e islepa s nuddeonu t negbv i atya y seieaai heng i rdxst t sgifneicc i stoou e dmeeertn e rpephettnt haanaii t and toienetltnyenh lordship, hto,eaehcorwm w t todnew h thmie e naoarmnr ngsutet m tahall utfyudotev e ot ntinn e eceei witaocsrrihonunameatemoi communicated nttemfhjr.iih ed d ieianoeudesc e suutnptu c cufsot. ieiuolepcdtelbhl that y e ll (hleiitn d Hinineaac gggiat t Lewco h tsuahoothi i a ernhrtroaa t s. hgdde) , h t feeling which had been displayed was a very proper one and met with their concurrence. (Cheers.) This opinion had been borne out by Lord Clarendon, who, so lately as Monday last, had said that he knew the matter had been made the subject of consideration by her Majesty's advisers, who all concurred in the advisability of the proposed step. A further meeting was then held at the Mansion-house on the 14th of June, when a resolution acquiescing in their object, which would presently be laid before the present meeting, was carried unani mously. A committee was then formed, which had been enabled, by sending copies round of that resolution, to obtain the concurrence of something like 350 distin guished men, who had all expressed their anxiety to see this national demonstration carried to a successful issue. (Hear, hear..) They had now, therefore, thought it right to convene a public meeting to explain- their views in reference to this movement, and he would invite every gentleman present to state explicitly whether he could see any objection, either nationally, politically, or morally, to the course they were about to pursue. (Hear.) A movement of this character naturally involved a large expenditure. The subscriptions which had as yet been entered into were of a very partial character, but he took it for granted that every gentleman who had sent in his adhesion to it intended to ,follow that adhesion by a pecuniary contribution, in order that it might be properly carried out. (Hear, hear.) He was quite sure that whatever amount might be re quired it would not be found wanting if the people of England concurred in thinking the movement desirable. The subscriptions already entered into amounted to more than 3,000 f. ; but he would inform them that the committee did not intend that the subscriptions should be raised to cover the whole expense of the banquets that might be given to their French guests. Many pre liminary expenses would have to be incurred, such as that of moving large numbers of gentlemen to and fro from various places ; but not only several public com panies, but also several scientific bodies, would wil lingly lend a hand to contribute to the entertainment of the distinguished foreignereto whom-it-might be the pleasure of the English nation to give an invitation. The Qq. 'vernuent also heartily approved of the movement, and would do everything in their power, by giving the fo reigners free access to public works, palaces, and other in teresting places, to contribute to its success. In conclu sion, he would invite themfully and maturely to deliberate on the subject, and, if the meeting should be unanimous in sanctioning what had been done by the Committee, he did not fear that the means requisite for carrying out the movement would fail to be contributed by the people of the metropolis and of the country at large. (Cheers.) Mr. MASTERMAN, M.P., moved the first resolution : " That this meeting, believing that the peace of the world, the advancement of science, the development of art, and the diffusion of knowledge, mainly depend upon the cultivation of peaceful relations with the French nation, ate of opinion that some of its most distin guished men, connected with legislation, art, science, literature, manufactures, commerce, and agriculture, should be invited to visit this country, with the view of demonstrating to the world the sincerity of the al liance now happily subsisting - between the two nations —an alliance, the continuance of which is eminently calculated to promote in all countries the permanency of peace, and its consequent blessings— order, pros perity, and happiness." The hon. gentleman observed, that a desire existed on the part of this country to enter into a closer union with the French nation, as the two countries, if united, could do so much more than if they each had separate inte rests to serve. The days were gone by in which we bad been taught to bear enmity towards France—(hear, hear)—and it was very natural that we should endeavour to make some return for the hospitality which had been afforded us in 1851, and thereby cement the friendship of the two nations. He had always found the good effect of a little sociability in the intercourse between persons, and he believed that to such sociability he owed very much of the position he occupied in the city of London. (Hear, hear.) He had much pleasure in moving the resolution 'which had been placed in his hands. ------ Mr. W. BROWN, M.P., seconded the resolution and expressed his belief that nothing would more effectually contribute to the maintenance of friendship and social intercourse between the British and the French people than that they should sometimes put their feet under the same mahogany. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The French people had invited the Corporation and the Royal Commissioners to visit them after the Great Ex hibition, and as we could now show them another Crystal Palace sufficiently large to accommodate all who might choose to sit down and meet their distinguished guests, he thought it was a good opportunity to return their hospitality, especially as he understood the Crystal Palace was provided with an excellent kitchen in which a'very good dinner could be cooked. (A. laugh.) The more two people were brought into contact, the more would they appreciate each other's good qualities ; and he believed the French were quite as anxious as we were for the maintenance of the good understanding be tween us. (Hear, hear.) . Mr. DAVIS wished it to be understood that this was a public and national movement, and not one of the corporation of London alone, although he hoped the corporation would take the foremost rank in it. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. G. LANGTON, M.P., then moved — "That the Aldermen and Common Council, and the livery and mercantile companies of the city of London, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Lord Mayor of York, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, the Lord Provost of Glasgow, the Mayors and Municipalities of the'other cities and boroughs of the United Kingdom, the Chan cellor, Vice• Chancellors, and Principals of our universi ties and colleges, as well as the heads of the learned and scientific societies, be invited to afford their valuable co-operation." He expressed his satisfaction at seeing so many mer chants of this great commercial metropolis assembled in this noble hall for the purpose, of carrying out an import. ant national object. He could assure them the cause they were met to advocate would have the warmest ap proval of the inhabitants of the important commercial city of which he was the representative—(hear)—and he trusted that the distinguished foreigners who were about to visit our shores would, after having seen imperial London, visit the great 'towns of Manche ster, Liver pool, and Birmiaghs,m, and that Bristol would not be passed over. for he knew they would be received in that city with true British hospitality. (Hear.) Mr. TITE, in seconding the resolution, said that the other large cities of the kingdom 'had cheerfully re sponded to the appeal which had been made to them by the city of London. Among the advantages of a move ment like this was the opportunity which it would af ford the French people of seeing the results of the free dom of trade enjoyed by this country, and it might therefore lead to a union commercially as well as politi cally between the two nations. (Hear, hear.) It was said that it was not the time to carry out such a move ment when we were engaged in a war of which we might have to deplore the consequences, but lie hoped that the union of France and England would lead to the speedy termination of the war without any disastrous results. Before the resolution was agreed to, lie would beg those gentlemen who bad formed a deputation to some of the large towns to state to the meeting the goodwill with which their propositions had been received. (Hear.) Mr. Alderman MOON accordingly stated that he had gone with Sir Joseph Paxton to Manchester, the alder men of which city had promised to call a public meeting on the subject upon the return of the mayor, w h o was COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Prineess Royal and the Princess Alice, went to the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, "The and AscentHonoured o f Mr. Mootbl a e n r t c, S , Smith ; c a l h ne est i e t r e r trpadriaenysnie morn ing, ne nt. t Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were attended by the Duchess of Atholl, Major-General Buckley, Captain the Hon.

AUSTRALIAN ROYAL MAIL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—Yesterday, the ordinary general meeting of the above company was held at the London Tavern, Mr. Malins in the chair. The report stated that 43,2101. had been paid on account of the last call of 21. per share, which, added to the amount received on account of the vessels char tered by government, had greatly relieved the difficultiets in which the company were involved. The ships under charter to the Go vernment were the Victoria and Sydney. The Aus tralian, which had gone on shore at the Cape of Good Hope, had arrived, and not apOearing to have sustained any important damage, would be repaired and offered to government. The board had been unable to adjust the accounts with the contractor of the Adelaide and Victoria. The chairman, in; moving the adoption of the report, said that the Australian had been offered to the Admiralty, who had stated they did not want her, but he nevertheless thought that they would have her. The total sum - owing was 41,9981., to meet which there were assets to the amount of 48,349/. There were at the present moment 6,245 tons of coals at Golden Sound; which it was estimated would realise 15,0001. ; gold freights amounting to 2,0001. ; colonial debts, about 5,0001. and goods 1,0001. The ships were valued at 183,0001., and divided on 37,876 shares there would be about El. 12s. 6d. per share. The adoption of the report was seconded by Mr. East, and after various observations from the shareholders, and explanations in reply from the chairman, carried. A resolution to the effect that all shares unpaid in two. months' time be forfeited, was also proposed, but subsequently withdrawn, and the matter left in the hands of the directors. Thanks were voted to the ohAirman at the close of the proceedings, NE‘ vo ; 1( ' tea tilt the !ISt I' 3 erg no ae, rn, a ; Dr. lo• ler
