NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The exact number of persons who visited Woolwich dockyard on Monday to go, on board the Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship, now ready for launching, was 11,156 on the numbers forming each party being reck oned up. The numbers who visited the dockyard yester day for the purpose of going over the Royal Albert, ap peared to be greater than on Monday; and Commodore Superintendent John Shepherd very considerately al lowed the dockyard gates to be kept open an hour later, or until 5 o'clock p.m., for the admission of the holiday visitors, and thousands were much gratified by the indul gence afforded to them. The St. Vincent, 101, Capt. H. Scott, depot-ship of Portstnouth ordinary, will haul out of the fitting basin to-day, preparatory to taking up her moorings off Gosport. The Penelope, 16, paddlewheel steam-frigate, Capt. Caffin, will haul out of the steam-factory basin into Portsmouth harbour to-day. The Janus, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieut. ; - Commander Colin C. A. Kane, arrived at Sheerness on Monday at 215 p.m. She will take in a full supply of coals, and again return for cruising in the Channel. The Rosamond, 6 guns, paddkewheel steam sloop, Commander George Wodehouse, arrived at Sheerness at 5 a.m. yesterday from Shields. She bas proceeded alongside the coal depot to fill tip with coals, previous to her departure to join the Baltic feet. The Cuckoo, 3 guns, paddle-wheel steam-♦essel, is taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness, and hands are set upon her to fit her for immediate service in the Baltic. The Majestic, 81 guns, new screw steam-ship, Capt. James Hope, C. 8., &c., got up steam yesterday morn ing, and proceeded from Sheerness to Black Stakes, where she is now taking in her powder, shell, &c., pre paratory to her departure for the Baltic. The Columbine (late 12- gun s l oop ) , sailing coal, depot, has been towed down to Sheerness from Chatham, and taken into the fitting basin for some alterations, after which she will fill up, and proceed to the Baltic. There are now fitting in the basin at Sheerness, for immediate service, the Formidable, 84 guns ; the Tar tarus, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-sloop ; the Cuckoo, 3 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel ; and the Miranda, 15 guns, screw steamship, Captain Edmond M. Lyons. The Siren, 16-gun sloop, is also undergoing altera tions and fitting for immediate service. No. 26 transport sailed from Spithead for Queenstown yesterday morning. The Megzera, 6, steam troop-ship, Commander John son, hauled out of dock into the steam factory basin at Portsmouth yesterday morning. She will speedily em. bark troops for the East. 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 bean organised. The officers of the fleet ought now to be receiving their pay monthly in cash, or bills,. if it snits better. Were there but a company of infantry there, or a dozen artillerymen, there would be a commissariat organised for their convenience, with a military chest well supplied. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants—Arthiir Wright (1854), recently serving in the Harlequin, 12, sloop, on the West Coast of Africa station, to the Pliceuix, screw steam-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—James 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—William 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. Willes (1844), serving as first-lieutenant of the Re tribution, 28, ,paddle-wh ee l s t eam -f r i gate , i n th e Bl ac k 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 -treets 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 appearanFe. 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 Captain Webb's and Captain Winter's. DEPARTURE OF THE 3IELITA WITH Titoors FROM LIVERPOOL. The Cunard Company's screw steamer Melita sailed yesterday for the Mediterranean, with 40 . men of the 19th Regiment, 27 servant; 38 horse; 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 Mehta, in eluding Brigadier-General Sir J. Campbell, Captain Wood Snodgrass, A.D.G., Colonel Hastings Doyle, A.A.G., Major Pakenhain, Major Airey, quartermaster general ; Captain Wortley, C.M. Rifles ; Captain Weir, 50th Rifles ; Captain Butler, 55th Rifles.. MOVEMENT or TROOPS.—The remaining portion of the lath Light Dragoons left the Birmingham barracks yesterday morning for Coventry, en route for Hounslow, previous to their embarkation for the • East. Li the course of the day a considerable detachment of the 6th Euniskillens arrived in the same town from Lichfield, and this morning leave Birmingham on their way to one of the western ports. Their route will be through Bromigrove, 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 quarteritigs, was well known. Another portion of the regiment has proceeded from Darby 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 atrial, conducted at the School of Musketry, for the pur pose of ascertaining--lst, 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 wha4 ll ad.eoliked into the paper. I then had 60 rounds fired with the greased cartridge as received from the store, and 60 from another musket, with the grease wiped off, wetting the bullet in the mouth before loading ; the result proved that the wetting of the bullet is a perfect substitute for. grease under the circumstances. The whole 60 rounds were wetted without the slightest incovenience to the firer, and were loaded with ease, excepting in cases when the grainsof the powderhad got between the paper and the bullet, a defect which was common to both systems of loading, and which has long been known to be unavoidable in the cartridges made up in this manner, but which will be totally obviated in the bag cartridge about to be introduced into the service. The extra time taken in loading with the wetted cartridge is due to the time occupied in putting it into the mouth. It may, I think, be safely recommended that, whenever the grease is melted away or otherwise removed, the bullet should be loaded in this manner. "In order to ascertain the effect of loading the Minie musket with spherical bullet, I had 60 rounds fired from the common, (smooth bore) musket,' loaded in the ordi -nary way, and the time noted ; 60 rounds were then fired from the Minie musket, wetting 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 in firing was 45 minutes,; Or about the same time occupied in loading with the Minie bullet in the same manner.! i, The Aeohraey of - firet was found to be greater than with th e commi n i.;ni us reet " Whilst on this subject I would venture to-ciOfi.tten tion to the fact, that the trsoPs•• proceeding tale East are unprovided with any regular means of wi l ing oil, without which the Minis musket will 'Soon • become use less, the shallow grooves will soon be obliterated, and even the smailest 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 sho w i ng t h e part i culars 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 Minis musket : . c ..., ;:z4 ho , z pi = 'l4 SALE OF OLD STORES AT DEVDNPORT.

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 250,728/., which has since been considerably augmented : Official account of tea for the three months ending sth March : 1854. 1853.

(From the _Report of the Regi-strar-General. ) In the week ending Saturday last, as the Registrar- General's report informs us, the deaths registered in I,,iidon showed a decrease un tile returns of preceding weeks. The number was 1,037 ; in the previous week it was 1,149. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1844 —53 the aversge number was 1,013, which if raised in proportion to increase of popu• latiou becomes 1,114. ' The actual result therefore differs little from the estimated ameuLt. _ _ _ 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. I{ooping-cough continued rather fatal and . carried off G 3 children. Measles and scarlatina carried off 34 and 39-respectively. There were 5 deaths from small-pox. 18 occurred from diarrikea; and two from cholera—one at 15, Hardin's-lane, in the sub-district of Woolwich Arsenal, and the other 'at 5, Pr,spect-place, in the sub-district of Whitecross-street. Last week the births of 795 boys and 778 girls, 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 2.7 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 generaily from the north-east.

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 flat of the sight ; as, arranged for 100 yards, it will be necessary to make allowances for the increased elevation requisite for greater distances 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 Mime musket, is shorter than that of the Minie 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. (Signed) "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 th oug h t lik e l y 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 h ear th a t arrange ments are bei ng made for instructing the men in reading and writing, as last -year ; and that the public hall will be fitted up as a reading-rooria 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 iuto 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 them 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 orde r t o avo id t ra i n i ng the men under q the oppressive heat of summer . The list of officers posted in the regimental or d er -b oo k i n cludes, be ides the colonel of the regiment, - Lieutenant-Colonel John Bar nett, of Kirk Hamm er t on , B or oughbridge ; Major Ralph Creyke, Rawcliffe-hall, Selby; Adjutant Prothero, Doncaster, 10 captains, 11 lieutenants, and 9 ensigns.

During the short period that has elapsed since have improved wonderfully. commencement of the drill the men wonderfully. It cannot be expected that in so short a period as 2 . 8 days a body of men could attain a great de gree of disidipline, but in 6 months this regiment, to all appearance, would be very efficient, and produce, if re quired, good and effective men to serve in the line. Yesterday morning 1 sergeant and 14 corporals be longing to the Monmouthshire Militia, who have b een at the infantry barracks, Windsor, for the l as t 3 weeks, and have been regularly _drilled with the recruits of the 97th, left by the Great,Western Railway for Monmouth, where the regiment' assembles for training mad exercise on Thursday nut 24th inst.' Cork r . f. - .Sfei ~~ [pßicE SD, PROCRASTINATION OF THE WAR. (From the Times.) We have no wish to ofter premature criticisms on the conduct of a war which may yet tax all, and more than all, the patience -which the nation has, to bestow. We are also perfectly aware how difficult it is at the great distance of time and place at which we find ourselves to ac a c it o n u tdh n ige t n w ßat h uj i os c: sa l forma ßwp l uea Bciset placed perfectlytchoo confessutm fair faenetdhl ,anotovsweopinion e of oii.ulmarvpeaot fleetsfi be n t e h can e en uda c nl o oma n ub d orl s u e tactrtomori amounting sa those 1 i but e Russians t a r ad a p n p sel formeda a r t s o , elsewhere a oc ncotrhdei n to o lack Sea, between Ghelendjik and e Gagri, a series of piuthrpotiseie g u ft: t e alt r h n its c hs o et a al s tn t ev o ina f en h t e .of Turks.preventing T his the t he Ru s abominableßussian t p h o e s posts, Caucasus s t u h s e w is traffic in human beings carried on by the inhabitants of version. A hostile critic might, no d oubt, suggest other motives, but the motive is for the preient purpose immaterial. On the breaking out of the wa r these posts became completely ieolated,' and Prince -Menschikoff received orders to destroy the posts and remove their garrisons, a task which' be executed, says the !ma- Ude Anne, with that success which 'uniformly accompanies the operations of the ,Ruasian fleet in the Black Sea. A squadron, consisting of 12 vessels of dif ferent descriptions, the names of which are pompously enumerated in the Russian journal, .started on this ex pedition, which, considerino• the vicipity.of the Tre nc h and English fleets, may truly be called adventuroue, an d entitles those who planned and Carried it out to just and well-earned credit. Never was expedition more suocear ful. 5,000 troops, the stook of provisions belonging, to the Government, -the artificers, and the fimilles of all employed, were conveyed without loss or difficulty to a place of safety, in defiance of the imaginary dangers of the Black. Sea and the near presence of our fleet, and—what no doubt gave additional zest to the triumph—an Eng lish and French steamer were fallen in with, and thus secured as witnesses of the exploit. Thus concludes the Invaliple Russe:—" Our military resources have been in creased by an effective force of picked troops, trained to war by a long service in an unconquered country;"— no unacceptable addition, we should suppose, to the gar rison of Sebastopol. It is time we should know whether we are or are not masters of the Black Sea, and whether the fine fleet we have sent thither is to l ea v e th e Rus sians an unlimited license to range at will over the waters which we so idly pretend to close against them. The country will reqaire to be told what condition of weather that could be which rendered the Black Sea inaccessible - to our fleets, but offered no obstacle to the enterprise of Prince Menschikoff. ' Are the English become such fresh-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 ? 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 antagonist 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 1 if it be so slothfully and negligently put forth as to leave the seas open to our enemies, and enable them to act as if an overpowering naval force 'were not present ? Our fleet has been a witness of the disaster of Sinope, which, if it could not prevent, it might at any rate have avenged, and it now sees .our enemies reinforced with the same impunity as that with which our friends were destroyed. Better to peril our ships in the storms of the Euxine 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 hot greatly whether they arc preserved to us or not. If we turn from the sea to the land, it seems not un natural to ask, what is being done with our cavalry ? Are they really to go or are they to stay ? If 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 ac t s o f men who thorougly appreciate th e 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 from 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 presumption in the press to remark on matters of so purely a professional nature, but we appeal from such conventional answers to the common sense of our teaders, 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, or 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 bow 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 Government, 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 agencies 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 contest, but already we have seen our selves twice baffical without striking a blow, and our fleet and our army loitering in compulsory idleness, while the game in which they should bear a part is played out by other hands. (From. 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 Peelism 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 repudiatedit with the contempt it deserves. The sham to which we allude is this—that it is " 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 I • Really this is the most daring and dangerous assump tion we ever recollect to have heard put forward. Becouse this Government by a long course of fraud—nay, of abso late treachery—has at length involved us in a contest with Russia, we are to place implicit confidence in their future proceeding!!! This certainly is a singular doctrine— that the more untrustworthy our Administration 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 80.D 2 w"• strous'a sham can obtain a moment's. apprebation_3 e One of otir ministerial contemporaries, the G?ob i!a s amused itself by stating that Mr. Urquhart mu st be in Baru) because he announced his belief that our Ministry are not even now sincere in their efforts to aid the Turks 'against the assaults of the, modern Attila. Why, where does the writer live ? We be will ienp fi ea n ro d eua t t h that promiseirhimilhat if he parades q ires from 'the first ten of his the streets any day,' acquaintance whom h a e n4 M in i u encounte r, Mr. Urquhart's opinion'is a iih ortt l em by w a i t ll le h as e t p n r the number, and that many l almost irrefutable• demonstrate its truth, by cironmstan: ; and, for the a m satiifaction of the Globe, we tial evidence will now undertake the task. Lord ClaYendon's expression of confid ence in the Czar's peacea ble intentions, when he had in his d es k th e com munication Minister from the Turkish Prime that Prinee . Menechikoff had offered the Porte the assistance of a fleet and an army of 400,000 men, to make war against his well-beloved English ally, proves to demonstration that an assertion made by the Coalition Cabinet is simply ut terly unworthy of the most infinitesimal portion of belief that can be attached to any declaration and we shall, therefore, confine ourselves 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 whole of these proceedings Lord Aberdeen may have imagined —nay, we 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 tarried 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 - fittest important reasons why that policy should be well undeistood, as we are firmly convinced it is a most de structive one, and that the present Premier will clipg 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 `rocoe.° l Europe depend upon the close connection of the Britec., empire with tlie'despotic powers. The probableresults of a continued attempt to coerce or deceive the nationinto such a career, and the resistance with which It 144_ 12! k not e /VIP. when once the people are convinced that such ig the objet of their rulers, are really too fearful to contemplate with out dismay. Such a struggle would, we verily believe, upheave the very foundations of society. Lord Aber deen, as has been often stated, commenced his career as a pupil of Metternich, the statesmen, par excellence, of the Holy Alliance, and by the traditions of that asso ciation the whole political life of the Premier has been guided. It is useless to refer to the eviderme, which must have long since had its effect upon the public mind, of the in timate connection of the Czar and the Premier as far back as Adrianople in 1829, and the conferences of Lon don in 1844, or to the fact' that the Emperor Nicholas resumed his designs within twelve days after his " old friend's" instalment in office. We pass over also the 12 months of purposely prolonged negotiations, the sicken ing catastrophe of Sinope, the delays of Malta, B es ik a , Beycos, and th e var i ous c h ec k s w hi c h we have imposed upon the Turks, and our hindrances of their acting with energy at the proper time. 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 not be fit to move out of its cantonments at Gallipoli before August. That army, as we told our readers in the autumn of last year, should now be in activity at Varna, where the presence of an Anglo-French force of 80,000 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, auxiliary army should have been orga nised in the winter. It was not so cilapili e d , = of sent to the Danube iu the autumn iv will 'belbst. Now England must reap the bitter fruits of beingVuTnrefiired. 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. We 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 be 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 defeated on the Danube, 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 l arge b ody 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 expens e to Turkey—an other year of machinations on the part of Russia to rouse the slave 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 of occupying them, always in the int eres t s o f tnheeceOttoman 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 ? We answer, Lord Aberdeen ; he it is who has thrswn the apple of discord between the Sultan and the fanatic ➢ius sulman population. Why was this done, if not in the interests of Russia ? The fleet was kept at Beicos Bay to coerce the population of the capital, and now that it has taken its departure even the Times sees 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." Russian interests, 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. Pctersboury Journal have shown that the Czar always held that the introduction of those questions at a critical period way the surest lever fur breaking up the Ottoman empire ; and the Coalition took the hint. Most assuredly had ho 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 snaking for carrying it on. The Chancellor of the Exchequer 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. We do not believe that that great warrior, the Colonial Secretary, can fancy that 25,000 men will suf fice for so great a work. Where, then, are the militia, from which the army 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 that the Scotch and Irish contingents were to be called out has passed away to the winds. With these facts before them, we fancy few will agree witn the Globe that Mr. Urquhart is insane when he asserts that the Coalition are not in earnest in support ing the Turkish empire. e._ e - _ e_e -- . - e - . 1 ' ----- ' ,-- 4 " ---''-- .
