THE MAIL STEAM - SHIP fo r AUSTRALIA, 4th April.—The QUEEN of the SOUTH, 1,800 tons, Corn mander Nottstats, one of the fleet of the General Screw Steam s hi p ping Company, is appointed to Leave sournAm TON on the 4th of April, with her :Majesty's mails, for ADELAIDE, PORT PHILIP, and SYDNEY. The Queen of the South, which was the pioneer ship of the Indian mail steam-ship line (via he Cape of Good Hope), returned from Calcutta to Plymouth on the 26th of February last, her :turd voyage. punctually to an hour—a significant fact, and worn y o, note. e-peeially when it is considered that the distance is about 1.7,000 miles by a , a, and that she had to stop at sev-n ports outward and eioht eward. This feat has not bees accomplished . by any sh ps in the world but 11;% those belonging to the Genet' . Screw Steam shipping Company. The Queen of the South is sister ship to the Argo (a so one of this Company's fleet), which reached Australia from Southampton in 64 days, and returned to England n the same time. Th:. Argo was the first steam -ship that returned round Cape Horn, thus 'iterally circumnavigating the globe in 128 days, which has yet to be equsiled. It is deemed but just to the public to state these facts that they may knew what this Company's magnificent vessels have done, and thus be able to form a rational calculation as to what they are likely to do in their service to Australia. It is also essen tial to prevent these vessels being confounded with others which haze not been so fortunate. The mail service to Australia will be continued by the General Screw Steam-shipping Company every alternate month until further notice. The Queen of the South is ship rigged (the Argo was barque rigged), and it is not unreasonable to anticipate that, with favourable wind, she will make the passage to Australia in 60 days, or less, thus affor ing to passengers and shippers a most desirable opportu• nity for quick transit, that, under exi,ling circumstances in the East, may possibly not occur again for some time. The arrange ments for passengers are unsurpassed for comfort and elegance. Rates of passage money, 50 guineas to 100 guineas. Freight. 9/ per ton and 5 per cent. —Full particulars at the Company's Offices, No. 1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge. THIRD EDITION.—WITH ADDITIONS.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearflil con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, an o ther class of disease known t o modern pathologists. Its pens ' sa 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 that all men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without inc urring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con-equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional ierangem ent 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 b e en too generally con fided to the care of ignorant unfortunaempirics, who i n flict great injury on tho se who are induced to place faith in their pretensions. 6ELF•PRESERVATION may be had, price 25 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

"2. Inasmuch as the document now under considera• tion tends to invest with a form strictly conventional, bilateral, and exclusively applicable to the relations of the Porte with Russia, the assurances relative to the religious privileges of the Greeks —assurances which the Porte has only offered to give to the five Powers at the same time and in the form of a simple identic declaration. The as surances, in fact, once inserted in the preliminary treaty, must then needs be reproduced in the definitive treaty, and would be accompanied, moreover, by an official note confirmatory of the said privileges exclusively addressed to the Court of Russia, a note which, in its turn, would be considered as annexed to the treaties—that is to say, as having the same force and the same effect. "3. Inasmuch as the preliminaries communicated to Vienna are by implication witheld from any discussion in Conference upon the modifications considered necessary to make them correspond with the original text of the act, which had re.leived its assent, and inasmuch as the con clusion of the definitive treaty contains no greater reser vation: for,its inspection and interference. "4. Inasmuch as, while the propositions of the Porte 'expressly require the revision of the treaty of 1841, so as to make Turkey participate in the guarantees of the pub lic law of Europe, this condition is pased over in silence. "The Plenipotentiaries of Austria and Prussia appre ciating the force of the observations offered by the Pleni potentiaries of France and of Great Britain, recognised in like manner, on their part, the remarkable differences pointed out between the Russian draught of preliminaries and the protocols of the 13th of January and the 2d of February. "In consequence, the Conference unanimously agreed that it was impossible to proceed with those propositions. " BUOL-SCHAUENSTEIN. " BOURQUENE Y. " WESTMO REL AND. " ARNIM." Last comes the reception at St. Petersburg of the summons : " CONSUL MICHELt TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON.— (Received March 25.) (Extract.) " St. Petersburg, March 19, 1854. " I beg to acknowledge the receipt of the despatch which your lordship did me the honour to address to me on the 27th of February ult. This despatch, together with its enclosure from your lordship to Count Nesselrode, was delivered to me by the Queen's messenger, Captain Black wood, at a few minutes after eleven o'clock on the morning of the 13th inst. ; and I lost not a moment in endeavouring to give effect to your lordship's instructions. , Within an hour after the arrival of the messenger, the despatch forwarded to me by his Excellency Lord Cowley (enclosing a communication from the French Government to their Consul here) was placed by me in the hands of M. de Castillon ; and, before the expiration of another hour, M. de Castillon and myself had presented ourselves at the Imperial Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and solicited the honour of an interview with the Chancellor of the Empire, for the purpose of simultaneously presenting the notes of the English and French Cabinets. Count Nesselrode, through the Director of his Chancellerie, expressed his inability to see us at that moment, but appointed twelve o'clock on the following day to receive the communications of which we were respectively the bearers. When I parted from M. de Castillon, about two o'clock, it was arranged that I was to call for him the following morning at half past eleven, in order that we might proceed together to the Chancellor. " By 2 o'clock, on the 13th, I had placed in the hands of his Excellency Count Valentin Esterhazy, the Austrian Minister at this Court, the packet of despatches brought to me by Captain Blackwood from his Excellency the Earl of Westmorland at Vienna; and by a little after 2 I had communicated to his Excellency General Rochow, the Prus-ian Minister here, the purport of Lord Bloorufield's despatch, dated Berlin, 2d of March inst. ; viz.: that no packet had been received by his Lordship from the Mi nistry for Foreign Affairs for transmission to St. Peters burg, but that despatches from the Prussian Government would be forwarded to the Prussian representative by their own separate courier. " A few minutes before the appointed hour (12 o'clock on Tuesday the 14th March inst.) M. de Castillon and I arrived at the Imperial Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and after waiting a few minutes it was intimated to me by the Director of the Chancellerie that Count Nesselrode would receive the English Consul alone,' and I was ushered into his room. " Count Nesselrode received me with his usual courtesy. I handed to his Excellency your Lordship's letter, and stated, from a memorandum which I had drawn up, the precise terms of your lordship's instructions with reference to the return to England of the Queen's messenger. " Count Nesselrode requested permission to peruse this memorandum, and I handed it to him. He then informed me that the Emperor was not at that moment in St. Petersburg ; that on his Majesty's return (which would probably be on Friday, the sth (17th) inst., your Lordship's communication should be laid before his Majesty, and his Majesty's commands taken thereon ; when a reply to your Lordship's letter should be forwarded to me.' " The Chancellor then remarked upon the length of time that had elapsed since the date of your lordship's despatch to me, viz., Feb. 27, and asked me what had detained the messenger so long on the road ? " I explained that the Queen's messenger had not come direct from London to St. Petersburg, but had been the bearer of despatches for the British Ministers at Paris, Ber lin, and Vienna, which latter eapi‘at I.3arrt,434ackwood left only on the 7th inst., arid had arrived at St. Petersburg on the morning of the 13th, thus making a rapid journey, con sidering the very bad state of the roads. " On quitting Coun Nesselro,le, I was about to take with - me the memorandum T had at his desire handed to his Ex cellency for his perusal, when he requested ' that I would be kind enough to leave it with him.' I said that I had merely transcribed your lordship's instructions for my own guid ance, and to prevent any misapprehension of your lord ship's intentions with reference to the time fixed for the return of the Queen's messenger to England--that I had no instructions to make any written communication in present ing your lordship's note, but since his Excellency desired to retain this paper (which was only a transcript of your lordship's instructions to me relative to the precise moment for despatching the messenger to England), I felt that I should not be acting otherwise than in accordance with your lordship's wishes by rendering any misunderstanding on this head impossible, and accordingly I allowed the Chancellor to retain this memorandum, a copy of which I have the honour to send herewith. " The Emperor returned to St. Petersburg early on the I morning of the sth (17th) inst. from Finland, whither he had proceeded on Sunday evening the 12th inst., in com pany with three of his sons, the Grand Dukes Alexander, Nicholas, and Michael, to inspect the fortifications at Wiborg, Helsingfors, and Sveaborg ; the Grand Duke Con stantine having gone to Finland sonic days previously. " At 10 o'clock last night I received a note from the Chancellor of the Empire inviting me to call upon him at 1 o'clock p.m. this day. I was punctual in my attendance ; and on sending up my name to the Chancellor, I was in formed that the French Consul was with his Excellency. " After waiting a short time, I was told Count Nessel rode would receive me On entering the room, his Excel lency's greeting was of the most friendly description. He said, I have taken his Majesty's commands with reference to Lord Clarendon's note, and the Emperor does not think it becoming to make any reply to it.' I replied, 'M. le Comte, in a matter of so much importance , I am sure I shall be excused for desiring to convey to my Government the exact words employed by your Excellency.' Tho Count at first used tho words ' His Majesty does not think it be coming in him to give any reply to Lord Clarendon's letter' (nel e croit pas convenable de donner aucune reponse a la lettre de Lord Clarendon). Upon my repeating this phrase after Count Nesselrode, his Excellency said, L'Empereur ne juge pas convenable,' Etc.; and I again repeated after him the entire sentence. After I had done so, the Count said, Yes, that is the answer I wish you to convey to your Government—' L'Empereur ne juge pas convenable de donner aucune reponse A la lettre de Lord Clarendon.' " Having delivered to me this official message, Count Nesselrode begged me to be seated, and explained to me that ho had only waited the return of the Emperor to submit your lordship's letter to his Majesty. His Excellency then asked me, when I proposed to despatch the Queen's mes senger ?' I told him This afternoon, provided his passport, kc., could be got ready in time.' Count Nosselrode in formed me he had already sent a courier's pass for Captain Blackwood to the Baron de Plessen ; and then asked me, Whether to-day was not the sixth day?' I said, From his arrival in St. Petersburg it is; but had I been left without any reply, or without such an intimation as I have to-day received from your Excellency, I should not have despatched the messenger until to-morrow, the 20th inst., at 12 o'clock, when six entire days would have elapsed since I placed Lord Clarendon's despatch in your Excel lency's hands. " In the course of our subsequent conversation, I asked Count Nesselrode what the intentions of his Government were with reference to the consular arrangements between the two countries in the event of a declaration of war ? His Excellency replied—' That will entirely depend upon the course her Britannic Majesty's Government may adopt ; we shall not declare war.'" " Enclosure 1 in N 0.137. "MEMORANDUM GIVEN BY COUNT MICHELE TO COUNT NESSELRODE. "In pursuance of the instructions conveyed to me by my Government, dated the 27th of February alt., I have the honour of placing in your Excellency's hands a letter from the Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. In doing so, I am further instructed to acquaint your Excelle nc y that the Queen's messenger, who was the bearer of this communication, and who reached St. Petersburg only yes terday morning, will be ready to return to England with your Excellency's reply as soon as it shall be sent to me ; but if, on the expiration of six days from to-day, your Excellency shall not have sent me any letter to the Earl of Clarendon's address ; or if, previously to the exeiration of that period, your Fxcellency should inform me that the messenger need not, remain at St. Petersburg, in either of these cases .1 am to direct the Queen's messenger to return :o England with the utmost speed."

RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Further papers were presented to Parliament on Tuesday night, containing extracts from correspond ence that has passed daring the present year. Some portions are of great interest, and we make the following extracts : " No. 31. " THE EARL OF WESTMORELAND TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON.—(Roceived February 4.) (Telegraphic.) " Vienna, -Feb. 4. 1954. " Count Buol has announced to the French Ambassador and to rue that Count Orloff's proposition to the Emperor of Austria was, that his Majesty should engage himself to a strict neutrality in the event of the war between Turkey and Russia, in which it appeared that England and France were about to take a part. The EMperor of Austria 're plied to Count Orloff, asking if the Emperor of Russia would confirm his Majesty's engagements not to pass the Danube ; to evacuate the Principalities after 'the war ; and not to disturb the general arrangement at present existing of the Turkish provinces? Count Orloff replied, that the Emperor of Russia could take no engagement. - The Emperor of Austria answered, thht in that case he could take no engagement, as Wrna,proposed to him. He should remain faithful to the principles he had adopted in concert with the other Three" Powers, and should be guided in his conduct by the - interests and the dignity of his empire. "Your Lordship will not be surprised, after' learning this termination ofeetuit Orloirs mission, and after having received the Protocol of the Conference signed yesterday, to hear that the Austrian Government have decided imme diately to increase the cordon they have upon the frontier of Transylvania to 30,000 men. • " Count Buol expected that Count Orloff *mild have left Vienna to-morrow 9 • but he learns with surprise that he had written that he intends to proloßg hie stay for some days." The proposals submitted by Russia to the Aus trian Government at the end of January, in reply to. those which were forwarded to Russia through' Austria from the Conference of Vienna, were re jected by the Conferenee-as such, should zot bed - - forwarded to Turkey. The Russian . proposals were for a treaty on the following Vises "1. The full and entire confirmation of former treaties concluded between Russia and the Porte, dating from that of Kainardji, and of the special conventions of Adrianople relative to the Danubian Principalities and to Servia. "2. Explanations, to be recorded by the respective Ple nipotentiaries charged with the negotiation of peace in a separate act in the form of a protocol or of an additional article, the draught of which is hereunto annexed, con cerning the signification and practical application of the former and latter firmans of the Sultan relative to reli gious liberty, and to the immunities according to the churches of the orthodox Eastern rite. _ _ "3. The evacuation, with the least possible delay, of the Danubian provinces, and of the other territories and towns forming part of the Sultan's dominions which may, in consequence of the events of the war, be occupied by the Russian armies, so soon as the arrangements shall be con cluded. " 4. The re-establishment of the order of things and of the Governments of the Principalities, such as they were settled by the stipulations of Adrianople. " 5. The regulation of the right asylum, and of the con ditions on which it should for the future be accorded in the respective countries to agitators and revolutionists, who, under the guise of political refugees, might foment dissensions and create misunderstandings between friendly and neighbouring Governments. "As concerns the treaty of July 13, 1841, Russia con siders it as never having ceased to be in force, since it was concluded both for the time of peace as well as for that of war; consequently, there would be no occasion for its re newal or completion by a guarantee." The protocol annexed contained the following clauses : "The Ottoman Plenipotentiary, in the first place, as• serted in the Sultan's name the constant solicitude with which that Sovereign is animated for the security, in his States, of the clergy, the churches, and the religious esta blishments of the orthodox Eastern faith, expressing sincere regret that there could have existed for a moment any doubts on this subject in the mind of his Imperial Majesty. He declared that his Majesty the Sultan had not for a mo ment thought of contravening the general principles laid down in the treaty of Kainardji, as well as in the treaties which confirm it, and that it was his firm intention to continue invariably faithful to it. In corroboration of that intention, and in proof of the Sultan's resolution to secure to the orthodox Eastern rite in his dominions the rights, immunities, privileges, and spiritual advantages which have been accorded to the said rite and to its churches by his Majesty's august predecessors, and even to extend in their favour the effects of his Imperial benevolence, the Ottoman Plenipotentiary was charged to communicate of ficially to the Court of Russia the Supreme Irade which the Sultan of his own accord granted on the of to the Greek patriarch and clergy. The formal delivery of that document into the hands of the Imperial Cabinet, and, further, the proclamation which had been publicly made of it, would demonstrate to the world that the Sultan considers it a point of honour to enforce for ever, and to preserve from all infringement, both now and for the future, the privileges confirmed or latterly accorded by his Majesty. His Majesty further promised, in a spirit of perfect equity, to allow the Greek Church to participate in the advantages which he might hereafter accord to the other Christian churches. "In_returu,_f_or_these assuranots,po Plfroipotootiszy of Russia declared that if divers acts of the Porte, and espe cially with regard to the Holy Places, having appeared to the Emperor to indicate intentions little favourable to the faith which he professes, had induced his Majesty to re quire at the same time with the settlement of the more special question of the Holy Places, a general guarantee for the rights, privileges, and religions immunities ac corded to the orthodox church, on the other hand, it never entered his Majesty's mind to ascribe to that guarantee a character different from that which naturally results from the principal laid down in the treaty of Kainardji, and confirmed in subsequent acts—consequently anything con trary to the Sultan's rights and independence ; and that in requiring that the Greek Church and clergy should con tinue to enjoy those rights and privileges under the pro tection of their Sovereign the Sultan, the Emperor had sufficiently explained the nature of that guarantee." " No. 95. SIR G. H. SEYMOUR TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON.- (Received February 24). (Extract) " St. Petersburg, Feb. 15. " In the Russian Projet de Protocols the Russian Pleni potentiary declares :--` Que si divers actes de la Porte, et notannuent a l'egard des lieux saints, avant paru a l'Empereur indiquer des dispositions peu favorables an culte qu'il professe, avaient engage Sa Majeste a. demander en memo temps quo l'arrangement special des Bits lieux, une garantie generale des droits privileges, et immunites religienses accordees a PEg,lise Orthodoxe.' These few words contain a tardy tribute to veracity. " In the early days of Prince Menschikoff's mission it was stated to me repeatedly and most positively that he had no other object in view than to re-establish and secure the rights of the Greek Church at Jerusalem. " When the real motives which had carried Prince Menschikoff to Constantinople became known, I was next informed that I had no right to consider that I had been misled, inasmuch as what was claimed for the Greek church was the necessary confirmation of the Greek rights at the Holy Places; and only now it comes to light that the special arrangement regarding the H o ly Pl a ces is considered by the Russian Cabinet as a question quite distinct from that of the guarantee to be demanded of the rights, privileges, and immunities of the Greek church. " I feel grateful to the Imperial Cabinet for having made this admission before my withdrawal from St. Petersburg." his own, and only verbally, had stated that if the Emperor Nicholas would accept the Turkish proposals, and, upon their general import, send to Vienna the form of prelimi naries for, peace which he would agree to, and which might be discussed by the Conference with Baron Illeyendorff, who should be instructed to that effect, these preliminaries, if approved by the Conference, might be sent to Constan tinople with the recommendation of the Four Powers." " No. 84. " LORD COWLEY TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON. (Received February 23.) (Telegraphic.) • " Paris Feb. 22 1854. " Count Eitol a.setures M. do Bourquency, that if Eng land and France will fix a delay for the evacuation of the Principalities the expiration of which shall be the signal for hostilities, the Cabinet of Vienna will support the summons. M. Drouyu de Lhuys is of opinion that this should be done immediately, and that the two Govern ments should write to Count Nesselrode to demand the immediate commencement of that evacuation—the whole to be concluded by a given time, say the end of March.

" M. le Comte,—As the ordinary channels of communi cation between England and Russia have been closed by the recent interruption of diplomatic relations between the two Courts, I am under the nedessity of addressing myself directly to your Excellency on a matter of the deepest importance to our respective Governments and to Enr.. The British Government has for many months u. • • ously laboured, in conjunction with its allies, to - ;.; reconciliation of differences between Russia and the Sub lime Porte, and it is with the utmost pain that the British Government has come to the conclusion that one last hope atone remains of averting the calamity which has so_long impended over Europe. It rests with the Government of Russia to &WTl:tine whether that hope shall be realised or extinguishedl for the British Government, having exhausted all the efforti' bf negotiation, is compelled to d.eclare to the Cabinet of St.. Petersburg, that if Russia should decline to restrict Within purely diplomatic limits the discussion which she has for some time past been engaged with the Sublime Porte, and does not, by return of the messenger who is the bearer of my present letter, announce her intention of causing . the Russian troops under the orders of Prince Gorts chakoff to commence their march with a view to re-cross the Pruth, so that the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia shall be completely evacuated on the 30th of April next, the British Government must consider the refusal or the silence of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg as equivalent to a declaration of war, and will take its mea sures accordingly. " The messenger who is the bearer of this letter to your Excellency is directed not to wait more than six days at St. Petersburg for your reply ; and I earnestly trust that he may convey to me an announcement on the part of the Russian Government that by the 30th of April next the Principalities will cease to be occupied by Russian forces.

"My Lord,—l transmit to your lordship herewith a copy of a letter, which I have addressed to Count Nesselrode, re quiring the evacuation of the Principalities; and I have to instruct your lordship to communicate it immediately to Baron Manteuffel, and to state that her Majesty's Govern ment having anxiously, but in vain, laboured for many months, in conjunction with the Governments of Austria, France, and Prussia, to effect an amicable settlement of the differences between 'Russia and the Porte, must now con sider that negotiation is at end, that the inadmissible terms upon which the Emperor of Russia will alone negotiate for peace, and the vast scale on, which military and naval pre parations are proceeding in Russia, leave no doubt as to the disastrous policy which his Imperial Majesty is determined to puruse. "The dignity of the Powers concerned in these recent transactions, and the great interests now suffering from sus pense, forbid any further delay, and require that all doubt as to the future should be removed ; and, as the forcible occupation of the Principalities was an injury inflicted upon Turkey and an offence offered to Europe by Russia, it has appeared proper to her Majesty's Government, and to that of the Emperor of the French, that the final issue should have reference to that act of aggression, and that the Government of Russia should be required within a given time to evacuate that portion of the Sultan's territory. "Both Governments, however, are animated by the sincerest desire of co-operating with Prussia. They acknow ledge the paramount necessity of a cordial understanding between the Four Powers at this critical juncture of the affairs of Europe ; and they are convinced that the all-im portant questions aa to whether the war is to become general or be confined within narrow limits, and whether the con test is to be protracted, or peace speedily restored, must depend on the policy of the Four Powers, being decided, vigorous, and united. " They have consequently determined not to send for ward the identic letters they have addressed to Count Nes selrode without previous communication to the Govern ment of Prussia, in the conviction that that Government will appreciate the friendly confidence implied by this pro ceeding ; and your Lordship will earnestly request Baron Manteuffel to join in the requisition to Russia ; or, if he should unfortunately decline to do so, that the Prussian Government will, at least, make known to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg that it has their sanction and support. It is impossible for your Lordship to overstate the importance whiab ber-Madeirty'oGoveramezak-attAchto.w.dia.i.iozi-upon which the best interests of Europe may depend. "Your Lordship will place the messenger Blackwood at the disposal of Baron Manteuffel, and may for that purpose detain him for a few hours; but it is desirable that he should proceed on his journey to St. Petersburg with the least possible delay.

I imme diately sought an interview with Baron Manteuffel, and com municated the substance of it to his Excellency, requesting him to take the King's orders on the subject. He said that he did not think his Majesty would, perhaps, object to join in a summons which it is proposed to address to the Russian Government to evacuate the Principalities ; but he did not think his Majesty would take a part in active hostility in the event of a refusal. " I replied that the summons would be of little use if Prussia declined supporting her demands with an armed force ; but that I hoped, if the Austrian Government, as we had reason to believe, joined with us, that such a reso lution might produce some effect on the King ; for Prussia would surely not like to remain behindhand in carrying out a work of such great European importance ; and that as his Excellency had already mentioned his having written to Vienna, I would not press him further at this moment, relying on the hope that a little reflection might bring about a modification of the opinions which he now enter tained."

"My Lord,—l have just left the Conference to which Count Buol had this morning invited me, in conjunction with my colleagues. Upon our assembling, he stated that he had no proposal to make to us; but, in consideration of the perfect union existing among us upon the Eastern ques tion, he thought he was forwarding our common objects by communicating the despatches he had addressed to Count Esterhazy for the purpose of being submitted to Count Nesselrode. " Count Buol then read to us these despatches. The first gave an account of the proposal brought forward by . Count Orloff, that the Emperor of Austria should, in con junction with Prussia, take an engagement with the Emperor of Russia for the maintenance of a strict neu trality in the war now existing with the Porte, and in which the maritime Powers seemed likely to take part. Count Buol, in his despatch, developes in the clearest and most distinct language the impossibility of the adoption by the Emperor of any such engagement. He states, with all courtesy to the Emperor Nicholas, the obligations by which the Austrian Government is bound to watch over the strict maintenance of the principle of the independence and in tegrity of Turkey—a principle proclaimed by the Emperor Nicholas himself but which the passage of the Danube by his troops might, by the encouragement of insurrection in the Turkish provinces, endanger.

We regret to announce the resignation of Mr. Baines, the President of the Poor Law Board, Such an event is, to say the least, most unfortunate at a time when perfect unanimity and mutual confidence were more than ever desirable. A. man of Mr. Baines' great worth and public spirit we may be sure would make any sacrifice that can be expected from a gentleman when a great object, such as the stability of the Government .or the conciliation of parties, is to be gained. But there is one sacrifice which in this country is never expected from a gentleman, and which it is one of our social in stitutions never to require, and that is the sacrifice of self-respect. Mr. Baines having, with the approval o the Cabinet, prepared a Settlement and Removal Bill, confined in its operation to England and Wales, and having introduced and explained his measure to the house, unexpectedly found that, without his concur rence, or indeed any consultation with him, Lord Pal tnsrston had given a pledge to extend the measure to Scotland and Ireland. The origin of so singular a inisundersanding seems to he rather obscure. When the pledge was given there is little doubt it was under the" impression that the President of the Poor Law Board had consented, while it is now very clear that he bad not. The Home Secre tary not being able to state the occasion, or to produce the document in which this supposed consent was com municated, is said to trace his own impressions on that point to the statements of the Irish members at his in terview with them. This, certainly, would be a singular channel of communication to be relied upon in a very important matter between a Secretary of State and the head of a great department ; but, if we are rightly in formed, the Irish members themselves are not aware of having pretended to convey Mr. Baines 's opinion on the subject. That gentleman's concurrence, therefore, has been taken for granted without his authority, and even without consultation ; and, after he had publicly com mitted himself upon a carefully elaborated scheme, he found it suddenly hampered with a pledge involving a serious a mount of alteration, and risking the success of the measure in any form. - From first to last here is a series of errors, and worse than errors. If , as We cannot help feeling, it was impos sible to abolish compulsory re movalin the ease of the Eng lish applicant f or re li ef without inclu di ng th e Irish and the Scotch applicant, that ought to have been foreseen and provided for in the or i g i na l mea sure,—a measure for which not Mr. Baines alon e , but the whole Govern ment is answerable. Th e bill, however, having been once introduced to the house with this radical defect, and the error perceived, Mr. Baines should have bee n Per mitted the opportunity of giving o r withh o lding his con currence in the change, and, according as that might be, proposing the"alteration, or withdr aw i ng the measure altogether. Had such an opp or t uni t y b een allowed, we cannot doubt that Mr. Baines, wh o en t ertains so strong an opinion against the existing law of removal as regards the English pauper, would have given his concurrence, and co-operated with his usual energy and talent to in clude, under proper conditions, the Irish and Scotch pauper. Had he even surrendered, to some extent, his private convictions on the subject, and attempted a more comprehensive measure than he thought quite practic es _ ble, that would have been no more than is continually required of gentlemen bound together by certain prin ciples of paramount importance, though having the charge of different departments. To do this in private, and with mutual explanations, is one thing ; to be over ruled in the face of the whole nation, and without being even allowed to submit with a good grace, is another, and the measure dealt to Mr. Baines has certainly been the latter, and the harder of the two. We have no doubt that when the time comes the clever Home Secretary will make a very brilliant speech, and Mr. Baines, per haps, one not quite so brilliant ; but there is a force in character which no brilliancy can surpass, and if the late President of the Poor Law Board, as we now must call him, should sit still and hold his tongue, leaving the battle of words entirely in the hands of his late chief, the sympathy and the suffrage of the public will go with him, and not with the ingenious Minister. Mr. Baines, who gave up his profession for the onorous duties of the Poor Law Board, and who has there secured the respect and affection of everybody about him, is not the man to resent any imaginary slight. His resignation is the protest of a man of honour in favour of official in dependence and the self-respect due between gentlemen, even in public boards, and in the making of laws. Much as we regret the occurrence, particularly at this crisis of our country's fortunes, we cannot but admit Mr. Baines to be more than justified in the step he has taken. — Times. THE CABINET-RUMOURS OF DELICATE INTERNAL DISSENSIONS. " Union is strength." The nation is united in its conviction of the justice of the war in which we are en gaged, and its determination that Ministers shall have fair play in their efforts to give effect to the national will. The deep popular voice will rebuke and silence any petty factious attempts to embarrass Government. Nothing can paralyse the might that Britain is about to put forth unless we have disunion among the statesmen who hold the reins of government. Any indulgence of a wayward self-will----of a captious desire to take prece dence of one another—may, by dividing, blast the na tional hopes. If, therefore, there are any minor differ ences of opinion in the Cabinet, let these be settled, if not altogether amicably, at least among themselves, in such a manner as may not imperil the national in terests. Any minister who at this crisis can indulge his spleen or self-will to an extent that may endanger the stability of the Government, will he playing the game of Russia with his eyes open. Unless the reports prevalent yesterday are altogether destitute of foundation, this warning is not uncalled fur. The only one of our prophecies respecting the course of events in connexion with the - Eastern - qiiestion That has • . not yet been fulfilled, is that Lord Aberdeen woeld .44 r;" 11 5 never fight the Emperor of Russia. The decision on this point is understood to be now trembling in the balance. His lordship is confidently stated to be bent on retirinr , from the responsibilities of office during a war with the Ccsr. Without entering into the details that have reached us of competing proposed arrange- • ments, thus much we feel bound to t,ay in behalf of the national interests and honour. If, now that the signal for battle is hung out on board the ship of the state, it should be deemed advisable that a fighting captain should supersede a not-fighting captain in the charge of the vessel, let the change be effected if not in perfect good humour—which it were, perhaps too much to expect from mere human nature—yet with such regard for discipline as becomes those whose duty it is to enforco and set an exampleof proper subordination and abnega tion of self.—Daily News. WONDROUS POWERS OF CREDULITY. Strange, if not impossible, as the fact may appear, we can state, on the very best authority, that Lord Aber deen is not even yet convinced that we shall have war with Russia. We believe we are correct, not only as to the substance, but as to the very words made use of by the noble Rkrl on Saturday night, alter the arrival of Colonel Blackwood from St. Petersburg, when speaking to a near relative on the subject. His words were—" I expect a counter project from the Czar, which, I hope, will yet set all right." Surely the force of credulity could no further go.—Morning Advertiser. - - MR.
