But what shall we say of the Czar ? Why, we will give him his just due, :and say of him that he is a man of progress. No one, we apprehend, who will look at what has been done in modepa times for the aggrandisement of Russia, her interests, and her territory, will deny him to be so. The Swede, the Pole, and the Turk can all testify to his cha racter in this respect—albeit his policy is prohibi tory and himself an autocrat ; and if it is not un natural that France and Britain should just now perceive that it was a grand mistake on their part not to check the growth of his power, when the outraged rights of Poland gave them a fair oppor tunity for so doing, it is all the more inexplicable :hOw France and Great Britain can at present de lude each other and themselves into the belief, that it is at this moment expedient for the peace of Eu rope to allow this last opportunity to escape them, and as with Poland so with Turkey, desert her at her utmost need, and leave the Sultan to fight his own battle. Never was there an error more fatal to the peace ofsEurope.- We pass by all the demands of Russia upon the Sultan.

With reference to the second question, we beg to state, that we have carefully examined the premises, and that the following appeared to be the facts, as nearly as they could be ascertained :—That the house consisted of six stories, viz., basement storey, groun d floor, f i rst fl oor, second floor, third floor, and an attic storey, or rooms on the roof. That the east party wall was two bricks thick in the basement, two bricks' thick on the ground floor, one and a half brick- thfck on the first floor and' upward. As to the footings no satisfactory information could be obtained, except as regards a ten feet at the south end, and which appears to remain in their origi nal position as per sketch, and about six inches high ; that the bricks were uniformly good, that the mortar was of a mixed character, some being exceedingly good, some perished and bad, and as far as observation could be made, superior on the west or inner side ; that the joists, as appears from the holes in the west'wall no w stand ing, were transversely laid, that is, resting on the party walls on each floor, and, as we are informed, a girder was longitudinally t fi i x n e lb d erthereare down no means from the appearance of the joist holes in the party walls, and these appear to have been of sufficient scantling. the of forming shop. an sOf tree opinion joists and except With reference to the position of the walls of the several stories when down, the following appeared :—That the basement wall with its footings had pressed outward at the bottom and fallen with the western face inwards, and the upper floors lying diagonally upon it, also the western face downward' ; those of the ground and two pair storey presenting themselves sufficiently to be iden tified. With reference therefore to the question whether any means might have been resorted to which would have had the effect of preventing the falling of the house in question, we are of opinion that, provided the floors of No. 184 had been shored up on the west Aide Orlhe party wall to take off the downward pres sure, and provided also additional shores had been placed under those fixed on the east side to secure the ground and basement walls of the east party walls from pressing out, and that the wall had been underpinned to the depth of the footings of the intended new building, the accident would not have happened. In arriving at this conclusion we are governed by what we believe to be the facts, confirmed by the best information to be ob tained ; and it is proper to add, that every facility has been given by all parties concerned in promoting the in quiry. The deceased Rowe, in charge of the works, was stated to be a man of undoubtedly sound prac tical experience and judgment, with every facility at his command for obtaining and using the means of rendering everything secure, and that Mr. Abra ham, the architect, and himself had paid every at tention they had deemed necessary to that end. And, further, that as such operation as the foregoing are of extreme difficulty, and so frequently matters of difference of opinion with the most practical men, we consider, generally speaking, that there can be no better judges of what is necessary to be done to ensure safety than those persons in charge of the works, and in terested in their proper execution. Notwithstanding this, however, we can only form our judgment from the facts elicited during our investigation, and record our opinion accordingly.

These Powers would then be fully and fairly understood, they would be pledged to united action, and the conse quence would be there would be no war ; or if it should so happen that fight with Russia they must, at most there would be only one war, and that war neither protracted nor doubtful. But let them retreat from their position as the allies of the Sultan, and the game of Russia will be further promoted. Coldness and division between the Powers of the Conference will, if we rightly under stand the aspect of affairs, find a speedy stimulant in fierce hostility between Austria and France. Yes, " leave Turkey to fight her own battle," and does not Nicholas know that the French at Rome are thorns in the side of Austria, and that the influence of Austria with the Pope is gall to the uncrowned Emperor of the French ? Well know ing this, the Russian Autocrat is gone to Olmutz. He will meet there the Emperor of Austria. Nei ther of them have much love for a French military . despotism. Each of them has reason for remem bering a French Empire and a former Napoleon. Need we draw the obvious inference, when these two Emperors are to meet—the one desirous that Turkey may be left to fight her own battle, whil e the other wants no French soldiers in Italy ? It is useless to disguise the state of European affairs. It is far better to look the danger in the face, and exercise, even in its presence, that honesty which is ever the best policy. Had this been done in the first instance, " the question of shrines" would not have become the question of peace or war to Europe. Had it been done, even at second hand, the course of Russia had ere now been checked, if not effectually curbed. But now, at the eleventh hour, the Czar perceives the advantages that are his. " The Powers" are shaken, and the Auto crat—no man more so—is fully aware that France has fallen back upon that form of government whose only traditional glory is that of war and conquest. If he can divert the hostility of France from himself, and direct its force upon Austria and upon the countries of the Rhine, occupation is at once found f or th e F rench ; Britain is drawn into the vortex on behalf of Belgium ; Prussia will have to maintain her own position , if she can ; . Austria (his future qua rr y !) hopelessly embroiled and weakened, never again to recover strength ; and the Sultan is left to fight his own battle with the Czar. vre ; 41 CANCER ClJRED.—Cancer, white swelling, enlarged, stiff. and contracted joints, rheumatism, tic dolou reaux, lumbago, fistula, pile', corns, spinal complaints, and neuralgic pains, are CURED by MAJOR'S SIN OVITIC LOTION, as modified by Dr. BATCHELOUR, M.R.C.S.E., M.L.A C.

John Hargrave Stevens, surveyor to the western dis trict, city of London, was examined, and stated that he had attended during the evidence, and had not heard anything to induce him to alter the opinions in the re port, which contained a true representation of the facts. Supposing the upper part of the wall to have been re tained in its place by the raking shores made there, the weight would have been equal to 16 cwt. to the square foot. The fall might have been prevented if the wall were gradually underpinned, and the ground gradually removed, instead of removing the whole of it at once. The wall would not have fallen if the shoring outside were stronger, and the wall had been underpinned. He should have placed the raking shores precisely in the position they were put, and put also a lower raking shore to keep the lower portion of the wall vertical. He then would have excavated a piece at a time, and would have built "a leg," or piece of brickwork, to the wall. He would then have proceeded to another portion of the wall, and made a new foundation, and put another piece of brickwork there, and so proceeded until the whole was securely underpinned. When that was done, he could have removed the ground for the basement of the new house to the depth he required. To Mr. Ballantine—The ground itself showed it could have been excavated to a greater depth. John Dent, 11, Southampton-buildings, architect, also proved that the report was correct, and entirely con curred in the evidence given by Mr. Stevens. Frederick Lawford, 20, John-street, Adelphi, archi tect, confirmed the report and evidence of Mr. Stevens. An adjournment took place at a quarter to 5 o'clock.

NV HICH IS THE BEST PART OF A Y NEWSPAPER? Some say the Leader, others the Fo reign, some the Parliamentary, but the generality favour a good, plain, and seasonable Business Address. At the present time there is a general. scarcity of news, and all the literary and editorial staff in the world cannot communicate facts which have no existence ; but these are facts of interest and inaportance. The ATTIRE of the SE A SON, made with the GREATEST ACCURACY in ICCOR t)- ANCE WITH THE WISHES of all CLASSES, and for all PUR SUITS aid 0 - CUPATIONS, is presented by E. MOSES and -ore for causiderably lower prices than are charged elsewhere. The READY-MADE CLOTHING offered by E. MOSES and Sox is superior in DESIGN, FIT, FASHION, and GENERAL SUITA BILITY to the GOODS made to order by OTHER HOUSES, and have a far greater degree of patronage than any other ARTICLES at each season of the year. The SPO <TSMAN obtains his Field equipment at E. MOSES and SON'S to measure or ready made; it gives universal satisfaction, and is distinguished for STYLE, DURABILITY, and ECONO WY. AUTUMNAL NOVELTIES in MATERI BLS and FASHIONS are ready for inspection at E. Mons and Sox's, and will convince every one of the commanding position occupied by them in all the Si ARKETS and MANUFACTORIES of the world, and will again display the combined attractions of TALENT, SKILL, and EXPE RIENCE by their PRODUCTIONS for AUTUMN in every descrip tion of dress. The HAT, CAP, HOSIERY, and BOOT and SHOE DEPART MENTS, at the Establishment of E. MOSES and Sows are replete with the most superior ARTICLE in every VARIETY selected for the season, and adapted for the immediate wear of LADIES, '4EN TLEMEN, or CHILDREN ; the quality and price combined render them the best purchases which can be made. SHIPPERS to the COLONIES and EMIGRANTS of all classes may avail them-elves of extraordinary advantages at E. MOSES and SON'S WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT; the celebrity of the Goods and very economical prices are considerations of the highetst im portance. CAUTION. —E.

To a juror—When he told Thompson he considered the parlour was dangerous, there were two persons pre sent. Rowe had orders from witness to ascertain the strata, and they then agreed that a depth of 10 feet should be excavated over the general surface of the site. Of course that would not be proceeded with if Rowe found he was going too low. The workmen excavated to that depth, though at some distance away they went below the 10 feet. When he left, the 10 feet had been arrived at. They could not have proceeded any further with safety for want of bricks. Rowe asked him, before he left, to allow him to go on with the underpinning immediately, using the old bricks which were exceedingly hard and sound, perhaps as good and sound as any new bricks that could be got. Witness examined the bricks with Rowe, and pointed out however good they might be, they were of different sizes, and as the specification interdicted old materials they could not be used. It was not to effect any saving Rowe made the proposition, but to enable him to go on at once. Saw no danger, and if the accident had occurred later he would have been under it superintending the underpinning. So confident was poor Rowe of the safety of this part of the wall that he built his counting-house against it, where he was to have been. Witness would not have slept in the par lour. The distance from the top of the shoring to the top of the house, or the top of the coping was 16 feet 6 inches. It would be dangerous to have the shoring higher. They were sufficiently high above the centre of gravity to make everything perfectly safe. To a juror—The house No. 4, Arundel-street was about 22 feet from the nearest part of Thompson's house, but from the back wall of Thompson's house the distance was 42 feet. The excavation was about two feet or two feet six inches below the footings of the house in Arun del-street. There was a difference of about two feet in the street at the back of Thompson's house, and they had intended to carry the house towards Arundel-street about two feet lower down. When men were occupied they did not wish to stop, especially when they were in a vein that would pay them. Could not say they had studied to keep a level flooring, but they certainly did not do it. They went two feet below the specification, but that was with his sanction, and was caused by get ting through the rubbish. Saw no excavation below the footing of the wall when he left. In some instances the footings were something below the ten feet. They were not diggings below the footings. The footings were only seen at one place, and at each end they were not seen, but Rowe felt with a shovel for them. To another juror—lf he, had covered the whole build ing with raking shores alone, it would not have kept it up. ; Needles could not have been used there. If he had said: " below the footings," he said what he did not mean to say ; he spoke of " the level of the footings." To the Coroner—His impressions were formed from the first, and had not changed, but should be sorry to lead' the jury to believe they were true and correct. He believed the excavators had undermined, but he had not seen' them do so. Could assign no other cause but that. One:circumstance should be mentioned, it was a fact he had seen. This house was a very narrow house, the bearings were very short ; they were only about twelve feet six inches clear of the wall, and the ceilings were flush. Originally, as it appeared, there had been girders running from the partition across the house to the cen tre pier, and in order to make a flush ceiling some time or other the persons occupying the house had cut holes along the party wall at one end which was not seen, to erect joists separating the boards of the wall, and leaving the Wall very unequally supported at those points. This had :been done inside the house, and covered up, and no human eye could detect it. There was nothing exter nally- to show such an incision had been made. Did not say that was the cause. There must have been a proXimate cause, and to state the proximate cause he must have something further before him to enable him to do so. The wall was riddled with chases, which weakened it. To a juror—Saw no trench along the main wall of the the house when he left the ground at a quarter before four o'clock on the day before the accident. To Mr. Bodkin—The workmen were to obey his di rections, and he could dismiss them according to the contract. The interest of Messrs. Lucas was to do, as they always did, everything in the most liberal way. Whatever extra work they had to do would be paid for; if they had done more than was provided for they would have been paid for it. To Mr. Hawkins —Was employed by Messrs Smith. Acted as clerk of the works. It was his duty to see that the work was properly and safely done, but had received no appointment to the office, nor emol ument from it if he did not fill it. Did not think it would be necessary at that period to have a clerk of the works. There must be some person to see the work was properly done, and ' Rowe was there for the purpose. If the builder's fore man was not doing his duty witness should write to his master. Had no authority to order Mr. Lucas's work mens ; they could only take their orders from Rowe. Could not say positively that he had seen the Messrs. Lucas on the premises during the work. Could not say he had seen them on the premises before the accident. Particularly noticed the state of the ground on the day before the accident.

Had no con versation on the Wednesday with Thompson respecting the party wall. Poor Thompson would not believe that anything was unsafe. To Mr. Ballantine—Had been about thirty years in very active practice, and had some of the most onerous works in the metropolis under his direction. Was re sponsible for all the shoring in Victoria -street, West minster. In his opinion the shores were of the proper height. I Considering the nature of the wall, it would have been hazardous to put them higher. Though the five long shores were amply sufficient. Do not know, if he bad done the shoring himself, that he would have put more than four. The jack shores were thoroughly secured, and quite enough of them ; although the foot ing was seen at two places there vas no undermining. The wall was not perilled by that exposure. Was speaking of the state of the • place when he left at a quarter to four o'clock on Wednesday. It was understood by Rowe that no excavation should take , place until witness again saw the buildings. Was not deterred by Mews. Lucas from giving any further orders; " and thoriglir most judi cious person. He was a person that might be left to himself with confidence, being capable of forming a sound judgment and carrying out witness's views. Very seldom Sri architect attended a building more than once a week ; but there being no clerk of the works witness thought it to be his duty to attend there fre quently. On the Wednesday before he left he directed the ground to be plumbed dewri. Left Shrimplin plumbing it, and it was perfectly secure. Was informed that it was an inch out of the perpendicular. Three inches would have excited alarm. To a juror—lf he could conscientiously have told Mr. Thompson the house was in danger, he would have done so ; but could not conscientiously say so to answer his own views. Thought that Rowe had acted judi ciously in altering the, shores witness had put up when other shores were erected. John Livett, 27, Arundel-street, clerk to a coal mer chant, examined—Recollected the house, 184, Strand. Passed frequently during the operations there. Knew Rowe ; had occasion to see him on the morning of the accident about landing some bricks, and went up there about half-past seven o'clock. Saw several men at work. One man was engaged in cleaning bricks, and sitting down ; another was engaged with a shovel re moving sand into a barrow. The third, he believed, was working with a pickaxe, near the Strand, close to the wall. He appeared to be piercing into the sand. Witness said to a person who was present that the stuff they were moving was so soft they might bring the house down. They were lower than the footing of the wall about two feet. Went to breakfast, and in about two minutes afterwards heard the house had tumbled down. The first time he was there that morning Rowe was not on the ground. Did not make any remark to to Rowe. Rowe was within ten feet of the men at work. The sand appeared almost as loose as if it were on the river side. Made the observation to a man named Brown, who was sometimes employed on the works. None of the men at work could hear him, they were too far from him. Did not observe on the day before that the excavation was below the footing of the wall. The excavation below the footing was five or six feet in width. To Mr. Bodkin—Was applied to on Saturday to come there as a witness, by Mr. Macey. His examination was taken down in writing on Saturday night at his house by the clerk of Mr. Abraham's solicitor. Went at half-past six o'clock in the morning, but did not see Rowe, though he inquired for him. Again went up at half-past seven o'clock to see Rowe, though he could not say it was expressly for that purpose. Saw that Rowe was engaged, Was close to the hoarding, and. stood there about fivenrinutes. Had said he was passing acci dentally and turned in there. His business with Rowe would have done at any time of the day, and being there at that particular time was accidental. Had seen Mr. Abraham, since the occurrence, and since the jury was sitting, but had no conversation about it with him. James Browne, coal porter, examined—Was at the works on the day of the occurrence, and was standing there with the gentleman who had just gone out. They were standing on the opposite side of the way. Saw four men at the foot of the building, underneath the wall. I One was cleaning bricks, and the other removing rub ' bish or something from the corner. Did not see any one digging. Did not see any one using a pick-axe. Spoke with the last witness about the state of the build ing. Walked away about fifty yards, and it fell down. Caine back to see it. To a Juror—Did not see the man using the pick-axe. They were removing brick rubbish. Did not see any removed that day. Did not see any gravel carted away that day. Saw it the day before. About a couple of cartloads. To Mr. Bodkin—Worked sometimes for Mr. Livett. They were standing together, and walked away together. To a Juror—Their meeting was perfetly accidental. To Mr. Hawkins—Could see the footings of the house. They were about two feet down from the level of the house to the new foundation. Could see two feet below the foundation of the old house, and in length it was nearly the width of that room (about thirty-five feet). To a Juror—Saw the footing the day before the morning of the accident, and no alteration took place as far as he could observe. Believed there were four shores, but did not observe anything about the footing of them. Mr. Thomas Bayliss, residing at 273, Strand, said though not summoned he was ready to give evidence, but had been present during the previous examination. The Coroner—What are you ? Mr. Bayliss—An iron monger. The Coroner—Are you a surveyor ? Mr. Bayliss— No, sir, I merely mean to speak common sense— (laughter)—and what has not been touched on, or at least slightly touched upon. Having been sworn, Mr. Bayliss stated that the wall of the house had been cut away the whole depth of the house from back to front. It was cut away from one end to the other nearly. Saw two shores distinctly, and there might have been three, but was not sure. The plan produced there, from which it appeared there were many short shores, was quite incorrect. Could say more ; but was not to say anything he heard, he supposed. To a Juror—Thought their motive was to get the new wall up to the old one. They cut it with a chisel and hammer. Could not identify the parties who were doing it. Would not say he had seen Mr. Abraham on the premises. He might or might not have been there. To Mr. Ballantine—lt was likely he might have said that he would attend and tender his evidence. Might have' talked about it to some of his neighbours. Did not know that he had mentioned it to any one present. Mr. Ballantine—Give us a "common sense" answer. (Laughter.) Cross-examination resumed—Would swear that the shores on the map were falsely represented. Counsel—Never having been on the premises, will you 'say this is a false representation of the number of shores ? Witness—Yes, of the short shores. Counsel—Will you say this is a false representation of the number of shoresl—Witness—l have not seen that (examined the plan) ;' there were not so many shores as are marked on that plan. Counsel—Do you mean to swear that is a false plan ? Witness—There were not so many shores as are marked there ; there were two or three. Saw two with his own eyes distinctly, but would not say whether there were two or three ' • to the best of his judgment there were only. three. Would not swear there were four. Would swear there were not five. Mr. Ballantine proposed to examine Mr. Abraham as to the exact number of shores. A Juror—We have it already in evidence. Mr. Abraham was re-examined, and stated that the plan contained an accurate representation of the number of shores. To Mr. Hawkins--Thought there were about eleven or twelve short shores. They are not all shown on the drawing. Mr. Hawkins—How many shores were there to sup port the party wall and the wall of the parlour I—Wit ness—Eight or nine. The Coroner then read the following report,of the sur veyors by whom the premises were examined. "To Samuel F. Langham, Esq., Deputy-Coroner for the City and Liberty of Westminster. " Sir,—Agreeably to the instructions contained in your letter of the 10th instant, with reference to the accident arising from the fall of the house, No. 184, Strand. we, in the first instance, appointed an efficient person, with assistants, to carefully remove the rubbish , to a sufficient extent, tq enable us to form a correct judgment upon the points at issue, and subsequently attended on various occasions to give them instructions. The' points referred to being, whether there has been any want of due care and circumspection in shoring up the premises, and whether any means might have I been resorted to which would have the effect of prevent ing the falling of the house in question. First, as to the materials used for shoring, we are of opinion that they were ample in dimensions, and of the best quality ; that those which were fixed were of proper construction, and in all respects fit for the purpose ; but we are further of opinion that, assuming the evidence of William Shrimplin to be correct as to the length of the shores, and their distance from the p art y wall at the foot, by which the whole weight of the basemen t and ground h floor was unsustained, that additional shores should been placed undernea th, more es p e cially as the whole area on the east side had been excavated to a con ' siderable depth below the kitchen flour of No. 184, and also was stated in some places to be below the footings The Coroner, in his charge to the jury, called atten tion to the fact that the statements in the report of the surveyors were, in general, not inconsistent w ith th e evidence that had been produced before the jury. Re referred to„the clause in the Building Act by which the inspection of buildings was directed to be made, and said it was quite clear the object in view was the pro tection of the public in every shape and way. For that purpose a district surveyor was appointed, and as great responsibility was placed upon that officer, the exercise of great care on his part was necessary. Re made these observations generally, and begged it to be distinctly understood that he did not make any personal reference to Mr. Angel. It was said that the builders were not bound to give notice until two days before bricks were to be laid, and that might be strictly true according to the act ; but it was to be regretted that, although it was a matter of notoriety in the neighbourhood that the pre mises were in danger, there did not seem to be a single individual who thought it was necessary to resort to the proper quarter, and give information to the person by whom the' accident might be obviated, or things put in train to have it obviated. The question arose whether the Messrs. Lucas had employed a pro per person to superintend the works. The jury had evidence respecting the capacity of Rowe to take the responsibility upon him. They also had evidence that Mr. Abraham attended at the premises, and that he likewise represented the Duke of Norfolk, and had reason for being additionally careful. It was for the jury to say whether there had been such gross negli gence on the part of any of the persons concerned as in point of law amounted to manslaughter. It was not suf ficient there should be mere error of judgment, because professional men and even learned judges differed in opinion ; but gross negligence should be established to justify a verdict of manslaughter (Rex v. St. John Long.) The jury were to say, if the occurrence had pro ceeded from the cause mentioned by the surveyor, and if so, whether it might have been prevented by th e exer cise of ordinary care, and was not merely an error of judgment on the part of the individuals concerned. The jury retired at twenty-five minutes past 6 o'clock. At eight o'clock the jury returned into court with the following verdict :—" We are unanimously of opinion that Robert Thompson, Sarah Thompson, George Dunn, and George Rowe, came to their respective deaths by the falling of the house, 184, Strand, and that the falling of such house is to be attributed to the gross negligence of Mt. Abraham, the surveyor employed by the Duke of Norfolk and Messrs. Smith, in not causing the party wall to be sufficiently shored up and underpinned before the excavation for the new building was commenced. Before we separate we are anxious to express our appro bation of the conduct of Messrs. Smith in volunteering to bear the expense of employing independent surveyors to ascertain the cau se o f th e acc id ent. ' The Coroner—Your verdict amounts to a verdict of manslaughter against Mr. Abraham. That I under stand to be the verdict of you all. Mr. Berger (a juror) —We did not contemplate that. We considered it gross negligence, arising from an error in judgment. Foreman—We did not intend to convey a verdict of manslaughter against Mr. Abraham. The Coroner—lf it is gross negligence, it would be so. Another Juror- —We want to avoid a verdict of man slaughter. The Coroner—l understand you do not mean to con vey that there was criminal negligence, but that there was a want of due care. The Foreman—Just so, but something more than what amounts to an error of judgment. Mr. Carr (another juror)—We cannot think Mr. Abraham deficient in judgment. The Coroner suggested that the verdict might be al tered, by leaving out the words "gross negligence." The Foreman—We are anxious that our verdict should not amount to manslaughter. Mr. Berger—At the same time we do not wish the verdict altered. Another Juryman—There is no difference of opinion amangst us as to the cause of the accident ; but out of kindness to Mr. Abraham, we wish to prevent him hav ing to undergo the serious consequences resulting from a verdict of manslaughter. The jury then consulted for a few minutes, after which the foreman said—We cannot retract our verdict, what ever the consequences may be, though we did not in tend to bring in a verdict of manslaughter. A verdict of manslaughter against Henry Robert Abraham was then recorded. The coroner issued his warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Abraham ; and inspector Dod was bound over to prosecute, and the witnesses to appear at the next Old Bailey sessions.

(From the Morning Chronicle s ), The itelligence of the passing of the Dardanelles by a )ition, of the combined squadrons, in every, int of view, of a-mostimportant character. That a )m pt s s h ou ld be made to .misrepresent its bearin g :, and to draw an, argument in, favour of the abando enient of their ally by the-Western Powers, Wu from the fact of their partial atl*ane;e to a posi boil of more effective aid, can surprise no one Who 'bac watched the course of the present trans actions; and the lone froth time to time adopted ty4tome who'have taken part in their discussion. Instead of deducing inferences ,to the disadvantage of the Porte, from the passing of the. Dardanelles by a portion of the fleet, it is more to the purpose to consider the nature of the step itself. We are not yet at war, and it is still possible that, if not , the moderation, the prudence of Russia—which is at least capable • of measuring material forces and estimating chances—may stand between the world and the calamities which would be due exclusively to her criminal ambition. But the pas Sing of the Dardanelles, by an armed squadron, itself indicates the non-existence of peace. It goes back for its I justification to the day when the Russian armies crossed the Pruth. The invasion of the Princi palities' created not merely a "casus belli ' " but a state of war. • All existing conventions between the Porte and Russia, and which were participated in by other Powers, were potentially determined by that ad of aggression. The Porte and the other Towers who were parties to the engagements were thenceforth absolutely free to consider what course was demanded by their own interest and honour. This was explicitly declared in the dispatches of Lord Clarendon and M. Drouyn de Lhup 3 . It is now declared even more explicitly by the act of the Allied Powers. Ships of war, English and French, have passed the Dardanelles ; and the im mediate purpose or ultimate consequences of that measure in no way affect its present importance. If the next mail from the East should bring us in telligence that the whole of the fleet has sailed to Constantinople, no feeling will be more general than that of regret that the step was not taken earlier. Such a feeling, however natural and general, never theless may not be well founded. But, in any case, we can scarcely fail to profit by, a forbearance which has at least made manifest to the world the contrast between the spirit that has actuated Russia, on the , one side, and the Western powers on the other. It c anno t be said that our Government has been over forward to remove the mask with which that Power now no longer affects to con ceal her purpose, and by leaving its removal to her own hand, her unscrupulous violence has been more effectually opposed. It was as well that every argument on behalf of Russia should have been exhausted, in order that she herself might answer them all. It is not to be regretted that her advo cates should find themselves at last under the ne cessity of admitting the entire justice of the inter pretation put by all impartial men upon her previous conduct. To those who, with ourselves, appreciated from the beginning the importance of the modifications suggested by the Porte in the Vienna Note, it must be satisfactory to meet with the elaborate proofs now, somewhat gratuitously, volunteered, that the demands which those modifi cations were intended to bar are utterly inadmis sible. The reality of these exactions can no longer be denied, when they are explicitely avowed and maintained by the party demanding them. They are such, it is now admitted, as the Porte cannot concede. What then follows ? It has been said that the fanatical mob of Constantinople is highly excited against the Frank residents, but it should be recol lected that such excitement has arisen solely from the dread of an acceptance of terms equivalent to the original Russian demand. The fanaticism which might, perhaps, call itself patriotism, is roused against a conclusion so ignominious, that even the detractors of the Porte do not consider it as possible, now that all doubts as to its meaning have been removed bythe explicit exposition of Count Nesselrode. Now that the absolute justice of the cause of the Sultan can no longer be disputed, the next resource of the friends of the Czar is to discourage all sympathy for those who are admitted to be in the right. Therefore is it that the advance of a portion of the fleet is represented as a measure of protection against ignorant and fanatical barba rians, scarcely less ready to shed the blood of their friends than that of their enemies. Even if the motive thus assigned for the advance of the ships were the true one, the question i n di s p u t e wou ld not be affected. 'Vere it, indeed, needful to in crease public indignation against the overbearing injustice of the aggressive Power —against the wicked and reckless selfishness which has hazarded or wrecked the peace of the world—a fertile theme for the purpose might be found in the charge brought against the Turks, for if the lives and pro perty of English or F renc h Christians have been exposed to peril from fanatical violence, unpro voked and wanton aggression on an unoffending neighbour is alone to blame. Some accounts speak of the activity of Russian agency in fomenting Mussulman excitement in the city of the Sultan. We are not forced to attribute to the Russian Cabinet the fiendish wickedness of deliberately pre paring the probable consequences of an outbreak, although it would be a gross injustice to their fore sight to doubt that such a contingency has come within their contemplation. Indeed, if the guilt of such a deed were to be attributed to him who would derive all the advantage of it, it would not be difficult to discover the criminal. Were Chris tian blood to stain the streets of Constantinople, that blood would be in all senses on the head of him who would first and alone draw profit from the lamentable occurrence. But there is, we hope, no ground for anticipati ng suc h a ga i n to the side of the evil-doer. The righteous indignation of the Turks has been expressed with some violence, in deed, and precautionary measures have been wisely taken. But the excitement prevailing has not in duced the Sultan to cut the knot of his perplexing position by any premature step. Whether his mo deration will be able to endure the terms in which the rejection of the Emperor is conveyed, and the reasons by which it is attempted to be justified, we do not pretend to anticipate. As the effect on the determination of the Sultan and his advisers of the last Notes from St. Peters burgh will shortly be known, it is superfluous to spe culate on it. Should they find from the language, and still more from the tone of these Notes, that peace has become incompatible with the national honour, we shall not waste words in proving that their construction of the documents would be at least excusable. Or should the Emperor not even wait until the glove which he has thrown down is lifted—should th e repor t e d movement of the Rus sians be r ea ll y a commencement of operations on the side of S erv i a —i n e i ther contingency it is not improbable th a t our l engthened and persevering efforts for the preservation of peace will have been made in vain. The best chance of its maintenance lies in the conviction of the Emperor that there are limits to our forbearance, and consequently limits to his power. For this reason, we shall, in the in terest of peace, gladly hear that the' portion of the joint fleet which has already sailed has been fol lowed by the remainder. In the interest of peace ;—but there are other interests also. The elements of the question— although its various and ever-changing features have now engaged general attention for seven months, are simple, few, and comprehensible. Not only are they comprehensible, but they are, to a degree not unu sua l i n f ore i gn ques ti on s, fully com prehended b y th e peop l e o f E ng l an d. Th e P eace Society, an d th ose w h o h ave represen t e d th em, on this occa s i on , on th e one s id e , an d.the concea l e d , or avowed, advocates of Russia, on the other, have spoken, ind ee d, p erse veringly, fully, loudly, an d without an echo. But, with these excepti ons , there has been but one feeling in this country upon the subject. That feeling is a desire to maintain intact the status quo—the rights of our ally and our own—to defend our obvious interests and our obvious honour : if it can be done, by peaceful diplomacy—if not, " quocunque modo." We are not often of accord. with Mr. Urquhart, but we agree with him that the nation which adopts the principle, of peace at any price paralyses, by that principle its assertion of every other. There are some things, though not many, better than peace. If we betray fear or doubt respecting the mainten ance of what we declare to be right, it is nit on the Bosphorus only that we shall soon have rights to maintain or to abandon. (From Bell's Weekly Messenger.) The Czar, the Sultan, and the Pope are likely to give the world some trouble. The affairs of the latter have become unwieldy and uncertain. He has meddled everywhere, and disturbed almost every non-Romish country in Europe ; he may yet live to experience the recoil of his desperate doings. Need we refer to his interference iu Britaiu, in Prussia, or in Holland ? Or need we inquire by what agency " the question of shrines" evoked the ambitious rivalry of the Czar, and. drew forth his He will probably do so to his cost. Left to the support only of his own people, his grand defiles of the Balkan will be the graves alike of Mussul man and Cossack. Grim as the Khyber Pass, their passage may be fiercely disputed against the Russians on the north; but with the fleet.l. of France au(l Britain in other waters than those to the east of the Bosphorus, where they ought to be, it is not difficult to see that the Balkans may have to be defended on the south as well as on the north, and that with the country of the Dun and the Volga beyond the Crimea, and immediately in the rear of the Russian head-quarters, the Autocrat may not only pour down his forces from the north upon the Danube and the Balkan, but also from the Crimea and the Sea of Azof upon Constanti nople itself. He may cross the Danube—he cannot pass the Balkans—he cannot set foot to the smith of those passes—he cannot enter the Bosphorus— he cannot attack Constantinople —unless they leave Turkey to tight her own battle. But once they do that, and Turkey may be gal lant, but she is doomed. Then may we attempt to roll back Russia in vain. The Black Sea is then a Russian lake, into which none but Russia may enter. The Dardanelles is then Russia's own pecu liar channel, through which whatever she may plan behind it will be developed in the Archipe lago and the Mediterranean. Egypt, Greece, and Syria are then within his sight—the Khuban no longer his boundary in Asia. What the Danube is to him, the Euphrates may be, and most probably will be. He is then far on his way to British India, and the Persian Gulf will become to him what the Black Sea has been hitherto--a new nursery to rear his young brood of gigantic plans on the future. Let Britain look to it. The worst half of the overland journey will then lie beyond the Isthmus of Suez, and to reach even that isthmus may involve another question, and with it, " the peace of Europe." For the Czar is a man of progress. Mentschikoff is his arbitrator, Nesselrode his negotiator, and the Moscow school his Peace Society ! Tell us of progress and talk of arbitration ? Why, this is the age of gigantic Northern development and of peddling pigmyism in the West. The progress of Europe is monopolised. It is the progress of the Man of the North upon the old Empire of Impe• rial Rome, and the Sultan alone it is who has the manliness to resist him ! (From the Edinburgh Flying Post.) The Eastern question has advanced into a far ther stage of complication, the natural consequence of the imbecile, if not treacherous, diplomacy of the four powers, as evolved by the double-dealing policy of Russia. It may be affirmed, with truth, that out of the British Cabinet there are not ten men in the country in any way surprised at the incidents which have now transpired. On the part of our Government there appear to be few, if any,. symptoms of a determination to meet the emer gency by adequate measures. The arguments of the Times tend to the abandonment of Turkey to •• • its fate ; and we cannot perceive in the other Ministerial journals that any more decided course is in contemplation. The whole of these indeed, have either sadly miscalculated or. be en grossly misinformed ; for the negotiations from which they promised so much have ended in nothing, or rather in aggravating the evils and dangers they were designed to ave r t. W e canno t, therefore, place , any faith in the speculations or vaticinations of journals which have so conspicuously committed the most palpable errors, and credulously listened to the deceptive whisperings of a Government too ' . apt and ready to leave them in the lurch. What • . matters it that Lord Palmerston, through the " columns of the Morning Post, indulges in such " brave words" as these :—" The expedieats of negotiation are exhausted, and the period of action h as arr i ve d. Questions of words and disputes about formalities may be set aside as nothing to IC‘I the purpose. The point now at issue is, whether Russia shall be successful in the design which she eau no longer hide, of forcibly seizing on the rights of -' Turkey ; or, whether England and France, bound • as they are by obligations repeatedly avowed and continually strengthened, shall prove that they possess the will, as they undoubtedly have the power, to reduce that design to the ignominy of failure in attempted crime." hi t p o , built eom p e e xt presTz b e y A I t ß h N e G m oe e m ssrs Cn . with the fastest of the American clippe rs, has m ade the voyage to China in 72 days from Lisbon, or 77 from London.
