The suppressions and additions of words intro duced into this passage with marked affectation are evidently intended to invalidate the treaty of Kainardji, while having the appearance of confirming it. " It was said in the Note originally drawn up at Vienna, that, `faithful to the letter and to the spirit of the stipu lations of the treaties of Kainardji and Adrianople relative to the protection of the Christian religion, the Sultan con siders himself bound in honour . . . . to preserve from all prejudice . . . . . the immunities and privileges granted to the Orthodox church.' These terms, which made the maintenance of the immunities to be derived from the very spirit of the treaty—that is to say, from the general principle laid down in the 7th article— were! in conformity with the doctrine which we have maintained and still maintain. For, according to us, the promise to protect a religion and its churches implies, of necessity, the maintenance of the immu nities enjoyed by them. They are two inseparable things. These terms, originally agreed upon at Vienna, were subsequently first modified at Paris and at Loudon ; and if we did not objet to this at the time, as we should have been entitled to do, it is not that we misunderstood the purport of that alteration. We clearly perceived the distinction made between two points which, in our esti mation, are indissolubly connected with each other ; but this distinction was, however, marked with sufficient deli cacy to admit of our accepting, from a spirit of conciliation, and from a desire of speedily arriving at a definitive solu tion, the terms of the Note as they were presented to us, which we thenceforth looked upon as unalterable. These motives of deference no longer apply to the fresh modifications of the same passage which has been made at Constantinople. The line of demarcation between the two objects is there too plainly drawn to admit of our accept ing it without falsifying all that we have said and written. The mention of the treaty of Kainardji is superfluous, and its confirmation without object, from the time that its general principle is no longer applied to the maintenance of the religious immunities of the religion. for this object that the words the letter and the spirit' have been suppressed. The fact that the protection of the Christian religion.is exercised by the Sublime Porte' is needlessly insisted on, as if we pretended ourselves to exercise that protection in the Sultan's dominions ; and, as it is at the same time omitted to notice that, according to the terms of the treaty, the protection is a promise made and an en gagement undertaken by the Sultan, there is an appearance of throwing a doubt upon the right which we possess of watching over the strict fulfilment of that promise. "3. The alteration proposed in this passage of the Austrian Note is altogether inadmissible. vileges and immunities of the Greek church would not have been omitted. alves, uring )d to slips, r lb. No. VIENNA NOTE. Our digest of the papers on this subject has brought the reader to the Conference of Vienna— , a species of diplomatic commission established at that capital, in which the representatives of the Four Great Powers endeavoured, in the interests of Europe, to devise an acceptable adjustment of the differences between Russia and the Porte, by reconciling the demands of one party with the offers of the other. The object, in diplomatic language, was the manufacture of a certain "Note." Russia had already waived her claim to a treaty—that is to say, to a deed of reciprocal engagements between the Czar and the Sultan—and had consented to re ceive an assurance proceeding from the Turkish Government alone. This assurance, however, the Porte had refused to give in the terms demanded by Russia, though it had offered an equivalent in terms of its own. The object of the Conference, therefore, was to frame such a document or " Note," as the Sultan might agree to give, and the Czar be willing to accept. We have already observed that it would exceed the purpose of this exposition to enter minutely into the turns or details of diplomatic negotiations, nor shall we now trouble the public with the par ticular expressions, phrases, or conditions which were debated at Vienna. It will be sufficient to say that a note was produced which appeared ac ceptable to the representatives of the Four Powers, and which was satisfactory to the Governments of France and England. It has been before remarked that projects of this description had been framed and set afloat by wholesale from the first 'no went of _ the rupture. There- had—beeTrAtEttian Notes, French Notes, Turkish Notes, and Notes of all kinds, purporting to meet the exi gencies of the crisis, but the particular project on which the Conference based its own suggestions was of French extraction. Out of this was manu a Note which, as ultimately proceeding from the diplomatists assembled at Vienna, was termed " the Vienna Note," and this document, after general opproval, was transmitted to St. Petersburg and Constantinople for acceptance. To the gratification of the public, the Czar returned an immediate ad hesion to the proposal (Part 11., p. 43). All was then considered at an end, when the Porte re opened the dispute by refusing the project, except with modifications of its own. " The third objection raised by Count Nessclrode is more than the two which precede it at variance with the intention of the Conference, which assuredly was not that the Sultan should enter into an engagement with Russia to concede to the Greek church all such advantages as might be granted to other Christian denominations, but only those advantages which were conceded to communi ties who, like the Greeks, were Ottoman subjects. " The spiritual head of the Roman Catholics in Turkey, as elsewhere, is a foreign Sovereign ; and if it pleased the Sultan to enter into a concordat with the Pope, conferring privileges upon Roman Catholics not subjects of the Porte, surely that ought to confer no right upon the Emperor of Russia to claim all the benefits of that concordat for the Greek community, subjects of the Porte, whose spiritual head, the Patriarch of Constantinople, is also a subject of the Sultan.

" No Christian community bei g subjects of the Sultan would have any right to participate in the privileges and advantages that the Sultan might confer upon Russian con vents, ecclesiastics, or laymen—such, for example, as the Russian church and hospital about to be built at Jerusalem ; and in the same manner the Greek community, consisting of many millions, would have no right to participate in advantages granted to foreign convents or ecclesiastics, and which might not, for many and obvious reasons, be fitting for a Christian community Akibject to the Porte. " In fact, if the Sultan has at any time, in the exercise of his Sovereign authority, conferred religious privileges upon a community not subject to him, or if he at any future timett R ha should think should thinkprophearve a righttodoso, C t c o un d t em N a e n ss d el t r h od at e claims several millions of Greeks, who are subjects of the Porte, should at once be placed upon the footing of foreigners, and should enjoy, through the intervention of Russia, all the advantages which the Sultan, for reasons of which he is the only competent judge, may have granted to such foreigners. "How such a claim can be reconciled with the professed desire for the maintenance of existing treaties =lithe strict status quo in religious matters it is not for her Majesty's Government to explain, but they consider that it exhibits a total disregard for the feelings and interests of the Euro pean Powers, who, in common with Russia, have declared that they will uphold the independence of Turkey, and who can not therefore see with indifference that Russia should thus surreptitiously seek to obtain a virtual protectorate o ver the Christian subjects of the Porte. And, with respect to Count Nosselrode s supposition, that some new privilege, not mentioned in the recent firmans, might be granted to the Roman Catholic establishment in Palestine, to the prejudice of the native communities, his Excellency appears to have overlooked that, by the Vienna Note, the Porte engages that no change shall be made in the order of things lately established at Jerusalem without previous commu nication with the Governments of Russia and France.

" The Ottoman Government would merely engage to allow the Orthodox church to share in the advantages which it might grant to other Christian communities, subjects of the Porte. But if those communities, whether Catholics or others, were not composed of native Rayahs, but of foreign monks or laymen (and such is the case with nearly the whole of the convents, hospitals, seminaries, and bishoprics of the Latin rite in Turkey), and if, let us say, it should be the good pleasure of the Porte to grant to those establishments fresh religious advantages and privi leges, the Orthodox communities, in their character of Ottoman subjects, would not, under the terms which it is desired to introduce into this Note, have the right of claiming the same favours, nor would Russia have the right of interceding for them. . ._ _ .

He mentions that he has used rotten kelp as manure for the rine on the south coast of Devon, and, when he removed too far from the coast, iodine, in almost minute quantities, with great success. He sug gests that if iodine were mixed with the usual manure for potatoes it would probably prevent disease, Vienna Note there had been a singular amount of diplomatic blundering. Four trained diplomatists had drawn up a document to secure a certain object, which object such document left substantially unsecured, and, what is more, the oversight re mained undetected by their respective Govern ments, and even unappreciated after its detection by Turkey, until Russia herself came forward with a demonstration of the fact. It is evidently not credible that either the Vienna negotiators or the Western Cabinets should have assented to the Note if they had believed it to contain what it did contain, for such a course would have been a gratuitous sacrifice of the very prin ciples for which they were taking the trouble to contend. If they had designed to let the Czar have his way, they might have done so without any conference at all, and their labour would have been saved. All that can be said is, that when the mistake became really apparent they did their best to remedy it ; and, as -they were not in the position of accepted._ arbitrators, whose award was to be final, they were left with perfect liberty to support the Turkish Government in a refusal which had been thus unexpectedly justified. This course the Governments of France and England promptly adopted, and while still earnestly advocating a pacific settlement, they resolutely backed the Porte in its rejection of the Vienna Tote. We subjoin the despatch of the British Government in which these views were justified. But other scenes were now at hand. The efforts of Europe had hitherto been successfully exerted in preventing an actual outbreak of hostilities, and in disguising with the semblapp eVe reality Sia, little Ideff thoti ?Mk position,what in how ever, could no longer be maintained. Th e ar d our p excited among the Turks by the provocations of Russia and the attitude of their Government partook unavoidably of fanaticism, nor can we be wrong in supposing that the support of two power ful nations (however, cautiously promised) encou raged the Ottoman Cabinet in its preparations for conflict. The first development of these feelings appears on the 11th of September, when a tele graphic despatch arrived from Constantinople, announcing such a fermentation as to threaten, not only the Christian population of the capital, but even the throne of the Sultan himself. revertingo certain in c id en t s b I ne excused alluding for t o this point, we may perhaps affecting our own accuracy. At the period referred to, we informed the public of the events which had" thus occurred, and we stated that the vessels which on this occasion were detached from the combined fleet had repaired to the Turkish capital, not in pursuance of any new resolution or more warlike policy on the part of the Western Powers, but simply for the protection of lives and property at the request of the Turks themselves. Our asser tions in this respect provoked the anger, not ()sly of the Protectionist prints, but of journals with fewer natural excuses ; and for weeks together it was clamorously maintained that the movement of the ships was directed against Russia solely, the " coercion of the Turks " being a calumnious inven tion of our own. The reader may now see by the actual despatches which statement was correct. (Telegraphic.) " The Ambassador of France at Constantinople to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. " Therapia, Sept. 11, 1853. The first impression of all parties at this proceed ing was one of astonishment, if not displeasure. N obody denied the abstract right of the Turks to an opinion of their own, but, as their cause was in European hands, and had been conducted with in contestable sincerity, it was not unreasonably thought that they might have acquiesced in a deci sion arrived at with so much trouble. Especially did this feeling prevail when the Turkish modifi cations became known, and appeared to involve no substantial principle. Even Lord Stratford him self (p. 69) " repeatedly urged the danger of de clining, or only accepting with amendments what the four friendly powers so earnestly recom mended, and what the Cabinet of St. Petersburg had accepted in its actual state ;" and reported to Lord Clarendon that of the Divan's objections " two only appeared to involve considerations of any weight." Five days later, however,'(August 18), he writes, that Redschid Pasha had commu nicated the Turkish views to him in a formal me morandum, and adds, " I confess that, in sub stance, it struck me as justifying more than I felt myself at liberty to admit, or had even in some respects anticipated—the course (viz. of refusal) which his Government was prepared to adopt." Still he " urged more the disappointment which this refusal would occasion," and the " consequen ces which were too likely to ensue" (page 72) ; but after two days' interval we find him (August 20\ acknowledging his conviction that the objectionable passages of the Vienna Note could hardly stand as they were, without exposing the Porte to infer ences not borne out by facts, and eventually to pretensions that it would be equally in convenient, if not dangerous, to admit or to resist," Lord Stratford, therefore, though for some time doubtful, and at first ad verse, ultimately came to coincide with the Porte in its views of the proposition. A similar conclu sion was gradually forced upon the Western Pow ers, though in a different way. At first the European Governments were natu rally somewhat annoyed to learn that the State under their protection had protracted their embar rassments by a refusal of the terms expressly devised by themselves for its security. They thought the Turkish modifications unnecessary, and on this very account injudicious : but, as they did not think them objectionable, or in any sense opposed to their own views, they consented to recommend them to Rus sia. The Austrian Government (p. 85) "greatly lamented the modifications which the Porte had thought it right to introduce into the Vienna Note, but strongly recommended their adoption." The British Government (page 86) "earnestly hoped the modifications proposed by the Porte might receive the Czar's assent." The French Government (page 87) avowed its "dissatisfaction" and " disappoint ment" at the course of the Porte, but " hoped as the modifications did not alter the sense of the original Note, they would be admitted by the Em peror of Russia." The views of the English Min istry will be found elaborately developed in a de spatch from Lord Clarendon (p. 91) of September 10, in which, although the reasonableness of the Turkish modifications, in themselves, is not im peached, it is argued that they do not afford any such additional securities as to counterbalance risks " The position of the Turkish Government becomes worse and worse, and matters are arrived at such a state as to cause serious apprehensions to be entertained of a catastrophe, of which the inhabitants, Rayahs or Euro peans, would be the first victims, and which would even threaten the Sultan's throne. " Redschid Pasha and the Grand Vizier have imparted these apprehensions to me. They have not concealed from me, that the persons and the interests of my countrymen would in that case be exposed to serious dangers, which they were sensible they were incapable of preventing by reason of the want of union in the Ministry and the threats directed against themselves. " The same notice has been given to the Ambassador of England, and, after having come to an understanding with each other, we have decided upon summoning from Besika, each of us, two powerful steam-vessels, in order to reinforce the ships at Constantinople, and that we may have at our disposal sufficient resources for the protection of our coun trymen, aud, if necessary, for affording support even to the Sultan, in case the movement urged on by the war party should go the length of menacing his authority. (Signed) " DE LA COUR." incurred by delay. Another impression too, then becoming current, is thus delineated : "In conclusion, I have to observe that these last con ditions were not made in the Note sent to Vienna (by the Porte), and which, without them, the Porte was prepared to sign as a final settlement of the question. There is, consequently, some reason to apprehend that they have since been brought forward, under the convic tion that they could not be complied with ; and should this unfortunately be the case, it will verify the predic tion of your Excellency (Lord Stratford), made so long ago as the 16th of July, that there would soon be more to apprehend from the rashness than from the timidity of the Turkish Ministers ; and it will confirm the opinion lately communicated to Her Majesty's Govern ment, and which they gather also from the tone of your Excellency's despatches—namely, that the feel ing of the Turkish Government is a desire for war, founded on the conviction that France and England must still perforce side with Turkey, and that the war, therefore, will be a successful one for the Sultan, and obtain for him guarantees for the future which will ma terially strengthen his tottering power. England and France will shrink from no obligation that their hcnour and their duty clearly prescribe, let the sacrifice be what it may, of fulfilling that obligation. . . . But other interests besides those of Turkey are committed to their charge, and, before they expose these to the dangers and the injury, that war would inevitably entail, they are bound to take care that no effort for the preservation of peace has been omitted." (p. 95.) Such were the general views of the British Go vernment, and th question was soon brought to issue, for Russia, notwithstanding the recommen dation of the Four Powers, rejected the Note (p. 97) with the Turkish modifications, and the dispute, therefore, resumed its original aspect. But Russia did something more than this ; she justified, through a despatch of Count Nesselrode (pp. 99 —105), her own rejection ; and this justification proved fatal to her cause. This document, which we subjoin at length, made it clearly appear that the apprehensions of the Porte were well founded, and that the sense which the Turks had detected hi the Vienna Note as injurious to their own independence was not only actuallycontainedin that Note, but had been relied upon by the Em peror of Russia in giving his adhesion to it. The first to discern this fact was the British Minister. On the 20th of September Lord Clarendon wrote to Lord Westmoreland, " The reasons given by Count Nesselrode in his analysis of the Turkish modifications induce her Majesty's Government to think that the apprehensions entertained by the Porte, so far from being groundless, are to a great extent justified." He again continues, on the day following :—" Count Colloredo said. that there would be" (in such case) "an end to the Conference of Vienna. I answered that that would be a matter of sincere regret to her Majesty's Government, who had considered that united opinion and action of the Four Powers upon, not only the present, but future questions between Russia and the Porte, would tend to preserve peace and to uphold the Ottoman em pire, but that no advantage could be worth pur chasing by dishonesty, and her Majesty's Go vernment would consider it nothing short of', dishonesty to persuade the Turkish Govern ment to sign the Note, now that they were made aware that their interpretation of it was not that of the Emperor of Russia" (p. 112). On the 26th of September Lord Cowley writes from Paris that he had duly read a copy of the despatch above quoted to the French Minister, and that " M. Drouyn de Lhuys replied, without hesitation, that be subscribed entirely to your Lordship's rea soning." Again, therefore, were the British and French Governments in complete accord upon the Turkish question as thus constituted anew. It cannot be denied that in this matter of the "The Earl of Clarendon to Lord Stratford de Radcliffe. " The malevolent intention of the Ministers of the Porte will become still more evident, if we cite an instance—a possible contingency. Let us suppose the very probable case of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, recently extolled, obtaining from the Porte prerogatives not enjoyed by the Greek Patriarch. Any claim on the part of the latter would be rejected, in consideration of his character of ' subject of the Porte.' "the same objection would be made by the Ottoman Ministry with reference to the Catholic establishments of Palestine, in case any fresh advantage or right not specified in the last &mans should hereafter be granted to them to the prejudice of the native communities." In the following despatch from the Earl of Clarendon. to Sir G. H. Seymour, the British Min ister examines the interpretation which Count Nesselrode put upon the Vienna Note : " Foreign-office, September 30, 1853. " Sir,—The despatch from Count Nesselrode to Baron Meyendorf, communicated to me by Baron Brunow, an nouncing that the Turkish modifications of the Vienna Note had been rejected by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, and the analysis of the grounds upon which that decision was founded, would appear to preclude the hope of an amicable arrangement between Russia and Turkey, and, as their effects may consequently be disastrous to Europe, they have received the serious attention of her Majesty's Government ; and I shall now proceed to state She opinion thatlhas been formed of them with reference to the in tentions of the Conference of Vienna in framing the Note, to the motives of the Ottoman Government in proposing amendments, and to the repeated declarations of the Em peror that he desired no new right nor any extension of influence in Turkey. " In his despatch Count Nesselrode alludes to the terms on which the Note had been accepted at St. Petersburg, and the understanding that if any changes were introduced at Constantinople the Russian Government would be at liberty to withhold its assent.

" I have now fully stated in what spirit and with what intentions the Vienna Note was framed ; but, in inter preting it as Count Nesselrode has done, by his objections to the modifications, his Excellency not only does not prove, but he does not even advert to, any obligation by which the Porte is bound to make concessions utterly irrecon cileable with its independence. But her Majesty's Govern ment are compelled to consider that the claims put forward by Russia are equally irreconcileable with the assurance that no extended power or influence is sought in Turkey. They deeplyregret that such claims should have been made ; for, even were they successful, they would be useless to Russia if she sincerely desires the independence of the Otto man empire ; but, under any circumstances, they must produce feelings of suspicion and distrust on the part of the Porte ; and differences between the two powers will thus in future, as of late, be a source of anxiety to Europe, and expose the general peace to constant danger of distur bance.

RUSSIA, BY THE MANCHESTER MANU FACT URER. (Front the Weekly Dispatch.) The events of every day demonstrate more clearly the wisdom as well as humanity of the policy pur sued by the Earl of Aberdeen in reference to the Eastern question. Austria, Prussia, and the other Western Powers, the Italian States the outlying tributary provinces of Turkey, the Northern Powers —all these have a direct interest, or a disposition, to interfere in the diplomacy of this embroglio. They have all wavered in reference to the course they should pursue. Russia has made tempting offers, used golden arguments to each. The Czar has poured into the willing ear of hereditary dynas ties and absolute despots the leprous distilment of his charges against France and England. He has proclaimed himself the bulwark of legitimacy, and rock around which break harmless the surge of re volution and the thunders of democracy. He calls to them to - join him in defending a cause common to them all against English Propagandism and French Republicanism. He points to Poland, to Hungary, to Italy, to Scily, ripe for insurrection, unless kept down by his cohorts. One false step on our part would have set the whole of Europe in opposition to our ally and ourselves. One word of anger or overbearing petulance, one peremp tory demand, one high-handed ultimatum, would have turned the middle and higher classes of continental Europe against us. The peoples of Europe would have mingled their patriotism in the conflict, and backed up the hostility of their rulers with the enthusiasm of their own nationality and pride of country. It is very easy, indeed, to say that if Ministers had, at the first, accepted the crossing of the Pruth as a casus belli, the Czar would have re tired with an apology on his lips and a flea in his ear. But our own policy had accustomed Europe to think that Russia might go into Servia, Cir cassia, the Danubian Principalities, and into the southern provinces, which she has already wrested from Turkey, without our taking any offence. Lord Palmerston had led the world to think by our action at Acre and Navarino, and our inaction in Hungary, when held for Austria by Russia, that we were not so very straitlaced in respect to the aggressions of Turkey. Any hasty or domineering requisition, therefore on our part, would have had no other effect than to induce the absolute Sove reigns of the continent, with the cordial sympathy of their subjects, to join the Northern Autocrat, not only with the bayonets of their soldiers, but the good wishes and the patriotic spirit of the masses. In Russia, there are two parties—that of the Em peror, and of the nobles and merchants. Any abrupt dictation to their Sovereign, whom many look up to as a tutelary deity, would have at once left but one party in the empire, and called out all the enthusiastic patriotism of the Sclavonic race, to avenge a national insult. The sober temper, the extreme forbearance, the calm and pa tient reasoning out of the whole subject, in which the question has been treated by our Ministers, has deprived the Czar of the sym pathy of his subjects. They only know that he sacrifices all their trade and commerce to his own imperiousness, that he seizes upon the funds of every society or company to carry on a war which he may avoid by a word, that he embezzles the national revenue, and throws the public finances into confusion—tears sons, husbands and fathers from their homes to minister to his insane pride, and that he quarrels with' the customers to whom chiefly his nobles owe their revenues. The existence of a totally opposite class of objectors to the views of the Premier is, perhaps, another proof that he has chosen the golden mean betwixt the rampant war spirit, and the mere mystical fanaticism of the peace party. Mr. Cobden, at Manchester, has again taken occasion to reason out his principles, with his usual ability, but, in our apprehension, with the mistake of many who delude themselves with the idea that mere logical congruity is practical wisdom and broad reason : could we grant him his chief postulate, which has been only too readily con ceded, we might have less hesitation in arrtivdingthae his corollary—but in the taking for gr an mere assumption with which he sets out , rests the whole success of his fallacy, even to his own mind. . " Barbarianism, " he observes, " not overturn civilisation in these days. After the improvements in machinery, and the discovery o . f gunpowder, there never will be another irruption of the Goths." Prove that proposition, and we are prepared t o throw up the case. But it is directly in the te e th of the whole facts of history. The most polished, wealthy, and co mmercial nations of the world h ave invariably sunk , at their very zenith, before the hardy virtues of the barbarous invader. Assyria, Egypt, Greece, Rome, all rose to great ness b y the aggress i ve spirit of rude strength and courage, and we re destroyed by their peace and civilisation. The horde of Roman robbers over-ran the world by despising industry, commerce, and art. Whenever th e y became civilised, they fell before the barbarian. The nation of shopkeepers could barely hold their ow n through the late war ; while the "barbarian ism," that is, the warlike spirit of France, carried her in victory over Europe. Is it by the arts of peace that we have acquired India, the Cape, Aus tralia, and a footing in China ? Even now and here, is it to our peaceful attributes, or to our bar baric tendencies, that we owe our power and strength ? It is not to our wealth and intelligence, our civilisation, but to our gunpowder, bayonets, and artillery, to our soldiers and sailors, the least polished of our population, that we must attribute our security, our might, and victories. The Russians are not Goths and Vandals in the science of martial dynamics. They have their machinery, their gunpowder, their latest new improvements in the enginery of destruction, their military strategy, their practices o f war , as far advanced as our own. They have their great fleets and vast armies. If they choose, as the Romans did, to devote themselves entirely to con quest; and to make the conquered their tributaries, their hewers of wood and drawers of water, it only needs that we :give them time, and o pp or t un it y unmolested, to perfect their practice, a n d by a ,steady perseverance in the non-intervention policy recommended to us by Mr. Cobden, we shall at no distant date enable Russia to be the Rome of the nineteenth century, and ourselves to qualify for being her' Greek slaves —teaching her the arts and sciences in the chains in which our over-civili sation has bound us. No doubt civilisation halt its blessings. The high culture of an intelligent people gives productive power, good order, abundance, pro gress. But Mr. Combe, in his " Constitution of Man," has demonstrated the absurdity of expect ing that mere conformity to the moral laws will secure exemption from the consequences of a neglect Of the physical laws. They have nothing in com mon. We can no more prevent a shipwreck by singing psalms than we can gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles. Political power is won by the sword, and it can only be preserved by the sword. The Czar is a Goth only of the heart. His disposition is that of the Vandal, but his mind avails itself of all the advantages which civilisation supplies, to perfect the science of physical momen ' tuna ; and unless we keep pace with him in mili tary culture, and practice, and muniments, we shall not long hold our own against his aggres sions. We can admire neither the generosity nor good sense which prompts Mr. Cobden at this time to execrate Turkey as a worn-out despotism, to praise Russia as an improving barbarism, and to persuade his fellow-countrymen to permit the Czar to break the peace of Europe by the lust of con quest, and to appropriate the fairest portion of Europe and of Asia as a buccaneering annexation to his empire. So utterly irrational and poli tically so scandalously immoral do we regard such advice, that are we equally surprised at the blind ness of the speaker, and at the absurdity of those Who patiently or with demonstrative plaudits lis tened in public assembly to such propositions. We are called to be the police of Europe, not only by our exalted place among the nations, but by self-interest, a consideration of the extent and vulnerability of our possessions and the intimacy of our commercial reations with every country in the world. When Mr. Cobden tells us that on prin c ipl e we are as much called upon to interfere in Italy, in Sicily, in Hungary, as in Turkey, we answer first, that in these latter cases there is no invasion by one State of the territories of another for the mere purpose of conquest, and therefore there is no parallel to establish an analogy, in which the principle can alone consist ; second, that in politics the question of degree is as important as that of principle, and that of the relation of our own interest to the par , titular case is more important than either ; and, lastly, that Mr. Cobden's logic cuts both ways— that, on principle, if he will have it so, there is no greater reason for interfering to protect one of our distant colonies, than our nearest continental neighbour—that the argument of non-intervention may be minimised as well as maximised—and that we may ask Mr. Cobden why a Marylebone police man should catch a Finsbury thief ? or why the watchman on our beat should be made to exchange the password with the constable in the next street? If there be no objection to the Emperor of Russia appropriating Turkey, why not take it ourselves ? On the score of humanity, civilisation, the security and progress of the world, it is impossible to com pare the blessing to the Turks of being under the rule of a responsible government, a constitutional Parliament, and the most polished nation in the world ; and of being prostrated at the feet of a crazy and cruel tyrant, whose moody will and mad impulse are the only guide of government, and the only fountain of power ? When Mr. Cobden tells us further that, on principle, the Emperor should, by us, he permitted to take Turkey, since we have taken Scinde, Ava, Borneo, need we remind him that, when the case of aggression was our own, he did not preach the doctrine of non-intervention, but was the most resolute in his attacks on the Governor-General, on General Napier, and Rajah Brooke. If Mr. Cobden appeals to our aggressions in India in point of the Czar's invasion of the East, we might accept the parallel, and then ask if he justifies our Indian conquests ? We are really utterly astonished at the judicial blindness of our Manchester friends—we had almost said at their unconscious, but undisguised, avowal of an utter want of public principle in their maxims of foreign policy. The man who fell among thieves was a Jew ; the meddler who poured oil in his wounds, set him on his own beast, and paid his bill at the inn, was a Samaritan " who held no dealings with the Jews." The priest and the Levite acted on strictly non-intervention prin ciples. The thief was evidently the stronger, be , cause he knocked the wayfarer down. He was c' rising man, sir—quite." Had not he his neigh bour's pence in his pocket, and was not he there fore well to do ? Why should he be interfered with in his hobby of "stand and deliver ?" Surely it was none of our business 1 That is a literal trans lation of the Cobden and Bright morality ; and our only excuse for both is that they are bewildered in the mazes of a metaphysical crotchet, which they have mistaken for the ordinary common sense of business. When they tell us that the war will raise our taxes, stop our trade, arrest our improve ments, check our commercial progress, depress our finances, we answer that our solicitude for peace has done so : that ournon-intervention would aggravate all the evils they predicate from our activity. We had nothing to do with the French Revolution, yet they sent our. funds to 85. We kept aloof iiom Hungary in her need and the German States in their extremity ; but we did not the less sustain great commercial injuries from the state of tho Continent. Conceive Nicholas at Constantinople, and where would be our Indian Stock ? How much further off would we be from war, that his power was doubled, and that he was within a few day's march of our eastern frontier ? Observe. Our interest is not merely that we ourselves should be at peace, but that all the world should be so. A general war in Europe, from which we kept aloof, would cost our trade and commerce more in the long run than if we were in the very fiercest of the fray. Even now, if we cannot succeed in suppressing this great northern bully, capital will take its flight to America and Australia, and put thousands of miles betwixt itself and the strife of Europe. Let there, therefore, be no more delay —no differences of opinion —no contrariety of ac tion or of sympathies among us. The time for discussion is at an end. We are at war—all our hearts must be in it. Our whole might must be in every blow ; and, having been the last to break the peace, we must be the last to seek it. SUSPECTED MURDER BY A WOMAN. —On the 27th ult. a man named William Hines, residing at Ashton under-Line, died, and was interred in the burial-ground of the Roman Catholic chapel at Dukinfield. After his interment, however, in consequence of some suspicion that arose, police thought proper to apply to the coroner, Mr. Rutter, for a warrant to disinter the body, which was granted. The body was accordingly disinterrrd on Wednesday last, and a post mortem examination made by Dr. Lees, of Ashton. A woman with whom the deceased cohabited, named Catherine Hughes, was also apprehended on suspicion of having caused his death. An inquest was held on the body on Thursday, by Mr. G. Rutter, deputy coroner, at the Tim Bobbin public house. The woman Hughes was present at the inquest. Dr. Lees was first examiuined, who stated that he attended the deceased at his own house up to the time of his death. He saw then that there was a wound on his head and also an abscess. OnWednesday he made a post molten examination, when he found an ex ternal wound on the head. On raising the scalphe found marks on the skull, corresponding with the wounds upon the skin, and symptoms of recent inflammation between the skin and bone. He also found inflammation and effusion of matter upon the brain , that w as quite sufficient to accou n t f or death. He had no doubt that death was caused b y v i o l ence to the head which he had spoken of. That Violence might have been produced by a blunt instrument, such as a piece of iron, or the poker produced. A woman named Eliza Ann Orme, of Back Crab-street, Ashton-under.Lyne, stated that one night, soon after last Christmas, she and a girl named Bridget, who formerly kept company with the de ceased, went out together. At the , corner of a passage in Crab-street, sh e saw the prisoner, Catherine Hughes, stand ing with something that looked like a stick, about the length of the piece of iron now produced. She lifted it up and threatened to give it her. A short time afterwards she heard the deceased and the prisoner quarrelling. She heard deceased say that prisoner had better not touch Bridget. Shortly after the deceased came to witness's house, his head covered with blood, and he had with him the piece of poker now produced. He went out to get some plaster. Alice Lees stated that on the evening of Monday or Tuesday, in the week immediately preceding New Year's-day, witness saw the prisoner run into a shop in Crab-street, and de ceased after her. The prisoner ran through the shop into the kitchen, followed by the deceased, who hit her with his fist two or three times, kicked her, and struck her with a chair. The deceased then came from the kit chen into the shop, and witness saw that he was bleed from his head. The blood was running down both sides of his face. Witness did not see the prisoner strike the deceased. When the deceased came from the kit chen, witness saw him taking up something like a poker or stick. He went into the kitchen and struck the prisoner with it on the head. The prisoner came out of the shop. Her head was bleeding. Witness said to her, " Your head is cut ;" to which the prisoner replied, "Aye, and I have cut his." This was the last witness examined. The inquest was then adjourned until the 10th instant, for the evidence of a woman who is at present confined in New Bailey prison. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE AND LUDLOW.—Mr. R.
