Sir.—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from caking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel It a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. «I am, Sir, yosrs respectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and is a pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re straint of diet or confinement dazing their use.

Christian schools, Protestant missions, and freedom of trade are identified with our language and our name, and have been rapidly propagated throughout the empire. The Porte itself has adopted principles of administration which, though they cannot preserve what is essentially perishable and effete in the Turkish rule, are gradually preparing its subjects for the progress of civilisation, and perhaps for new forms of government. Thus, while Russia is seek ing to bind Turkey by the obligations of a treaty die: tated by the interests of another Power, we are satisfied to see her retain at least that liberty of change whichis the last sign o' vitality.

REAR-ADMIRA.L CORRY'bil CRUISE. The following is an accurate epitome of the cruise of the Channel squadron, and the melancholy catastrophe which attended it : May 25.—At sunset squadron left Plymouth:—Prince Regent, 90 (flag) ; London, 90, Captain Eden ; lianspa r2:ll-, 70 (screw), Captain Dacres; Imperieuse, 51 (screw), Captain R. B. Watson, C.B. ; Amphion, 34.. (screw), . Captain Patey ; Highflyer, 21 (screw), Captain • MoOre ; and Leopard, 12 (paddle), Captain Giffard. Having 'fined au . offing that night, stood down Channel under sail; steam-ships stopped engines, except Leopard, which reitiailied under steam. , May 26.—Squadron exercising at quarters.. Wind wept ; weather line. May 27.—Satue exercise, wind, weather, &c. May 28.—Squadron on - the edge of the bauliF ; wind west ; squadron exercised. • May 29.—Mtto. MaY , 30,---:Squadron performed several evolutions, forming line of battle, and fronting line and forming two columna. On this day a trial under sail between the Loudon and Imperieuse took place . ; force of the wind 3, direct abeam ; set—whole topsails, royals, and topmast and topgallant studding sails. Duration,of trial, 1 hour 53 minutes; rate of vessel, 8!, knots; gained on the London, 2,175 fathoms ; on the klighflyer, 3,31)0 fathoms. The Impericuse steered as easy as a boat cisr rying from two to three spokes of wh ee l, an d y i e ldi ng from two to three degrees. (Front the Morning Chronicle.) The Eastern question has assumed a new aspect since the publication of the Russian manifesto, which appeared in our impression of yesterday. Until that document was given to the world, doubts might have been enter tained as to the authenticity of the statements which have been made respecting the policy of the Czar, and the means which he would adopt in order to enforce it ; but we now know, from the express declaration of his Go vernment, that the prevalent estimate of the nature and extent of his designs was in no degree c:caggerated. Th 9, 'circular dispatch of Count Nesselrode shows that a- - was, from the first the intention of the Court of St. Peters burgh to obtain a specific convention from theyorte. which would have constituted the Czar the recognised Protector of the Christian subjects of Turkey ; anti we are further told that, if the demands of Russia are not complied. with, she will proceed to seek by force that :which she has failed to obtain by negotiation. Such is the prac tical purport of this document ; but, as the Imperial Minister further attempts to make out a complete justi fication of the recent proceedings of his Government, and to show that the forbearance of the Emperor has been pushed to its utmost limits, and that he will have a full right to resort to arms, it may be well to examine the arguments by which this conclusion is supported. We need only premise that, with regard to the facts of the late negotiations, there is no very great difference between the allegations of Count Nesselrode and ,the statements which we have on various occasions placed before the public. The Russian claims were throughout essentially the same, though the particular form in which they were couched underwent some modifications from time to time. The last agreement which the Court of St. Petersburgh tried to wring from the Porte was nearly identical with the first propositions of Prince Menschi koff ; for it would be absurd to attach any importance to the difference between a convention and a diplomatic note solemnly pledging the Government from which it emanated. May 31.—Trial of sailing before the wind ; whole top sails and studdingsails both sides. After a run of 30 miles the Imperieuse gained on the London 1,480 fathoms ; on the Amphion ' 1,560 fathoms ; on th e High flyer, 3,225 fathoms ; on the Sanspareil, 4,000 fathoms.

June 7.—Trial of sailing on a wind under single reefed topsails, and occasionally royals and flying jib : The Imperieuse gained on the London 1,260 fathoms ; on the Amphion, 750 fathoms ; and on the Highflyer, 5,035 fathoms, in a run of 46 miles of seven hours' duration. June B.—The squadron passed between the Birlinga and Portugal. June 9. Squadron under easy sail. June 10.—Squadron made for the Tagus. June 11.—Squadron entered the Tagus at 1 p.m., but, before the second anchor for mooring was let go, received orders by signal from flag-ship to prepare for sea again ; squadron moved down to Passo d'Arcet same night. June 12.—Squadron weighed and stood out of the Tagus ; rain and mist prevailit ° r ; steamed to the west ward and tacked as far as 16. The Leopard towed the Prince Regent, and the Imperieuse towed the London, but cast off in the evening. ,June 13 and following days.—Squadron making fur England. • • On the 15th a most disastrous and distressing accident occurred, which quickly hurried six gallant men into eternity and seriously injured 12 others. It appears that while the London was in tow of the Irnperieuse, the latter stopped for the purpose (as we understand) of " parsing ' the London's cable, with which she was tow ing that ship, and having gone suddenly ahead, the strain drew the " stopper bolt " from its socket, and, the chain running through the hawse-hole with terrific velo. city, swung round the two foremost messes, killing Mr. Chapman, senior lieutenant ; J. Smith, Robert High, William Beaver, and Henry Bessiker, ordinary seamen ; Charles Bureau, gunner's mate ; and Joseph Lovell, private marine ; very severely injuring at the same time 12 others of the crew who were on the spot. A court of inquiry will be held immediately to laves• tigate the case. June 21.—The Leopard took the Prince Regent in: tow, and the imperieuse the London, when eight miles off the Nab light, and brought them up to Spithead, the Amphion, in tow of the Highflyer, following,. the Amphion's machinery having become deranged. The dispatch commences with a general disclaimer of the aggressive pretensions attributed to Russia—at least we are informed that that power claims no more than it possesses "traditionally, practically, and legally in Turkey, by virtue of anterior treaties." The Emperor is represented as having the greatest possible interest in maintaining the status quo in the Ottoman Empire ; and, as regards the religious question, it is alleged that he claims uo other rights than those which he already possesses through his influence and power, and through the sympathy Of the Christian inhabitants of the Sul tan's dominions. These assertions, however, evidently beg the whole question. Russia assumes, it seems, as a matter of right, the virtual superintendence or protec torate of the Christians in Turkey. This is certainly a most unfortunate preamble to a diplomaticostatement ; for it is the assertion of a right to intervene between the Porte and its subjects, to an extent totally subver sive of the just prerogatives of au independent Sove reign. This objection, however, is, we are subsequently assured, an idle phantom. The Imperial Minister de clares that it is altogether immaterial, in point of prin ciple, how large and numerous may be the class over I.vhoin - such a foreign protectorate may be established ; and he conceives that there is no difference between the Commodore Lord . Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., arrived to-day, and hoisted his .broad pendant on board her Majesty's yacht Victoria arid Albert. The Nerbudda, 12, Commandei Boyd, arrived at Spit bead this morning from Chatham, and anchored after sainting the Port-Admiral. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fremantle, hauled into the new dock this morning, to have her waste steam pipes fitted. The Gorgon, 6, advanced paddle steam-sloop; com menced swinging to-day for the adjustment of her compasses. PRINCESS ROYAL, 91 (scßEw).—The rush for tickets to see the launch of this vessel almost amounts to a., terms — now proposed by Russia, and the conventions or capitulations which the Porte has at different periods made with Austria and France with regard ,to•. the privileges and immunities of the Latin ChriStaaus Nevertheless, ;. the distinction is most essential— for the simple reason that diplomatic concessions made in favour of a small and inconsiderable minority of the Sultan's subjects cannot involve any political conse• quences as regards the internal relations of Turkey. But the power which the Czar is now desirous of obtain ing, although it might, in the first instance be only a spiritual authority, would rapidly become a political in fluence. The position and power of Russia render it im possible to regard the present question as exclusively a religious one. There is, therefore, no truth in the analogy on which Count Nesselrode relies ; nor is the illustration which he borrows from the times of the ile mania. The authorities of the dockyard have consulted the feelings of the visitors by erecting-most commodious sittings to view so interesting a spectacle. Should the day be fine, there will doubtless be crowds of the gentler sex to witness by what means it is that " Old England . ' can bid " defiance to the world." formation more tenable. Whatever conditions may have been then made by one Power, i,n favour of religi ous dissidents within the territories of another, had their origin in the peculiar circumstances of the period. All Europe was engaged in wars, not of race nor of political rivalry, but of religion ; and when the belligerent par ties made peace, they naturally endeavoured to obtain favourable terms for their respective allies. If, there fore, in some cases, particular privileges were, at the in stance of a foreign state, accorded by different Powers to their Protestant or Roman Catholic subjects, such transactions cannot furnish a precedent for the claims maintained in the Russian manifesto. _ . Orders have been received to-day to complete the squadron at Spithead, with four months' provisions. Taking the men of war at this port immediately avail able, we can muster a force that the whole world has never yet seen the like, so fir as regards steam power, which would be equal to double such force composed only of sailing ships. We have here ready for action 20 good pendants, and 10,000 sailors and marines. • WOOLWICH, JUNE 22. APPOINTMENTS.

The Terrible, steam-frigate, Captain.M'Cleverty, is to be taken out of the basin to-morrow, and will soon be ready for sea. The Rhadamanthus, steam-sloop, Master Commander Belem, arrived this afternoon from Chatham. We are told, indeed, that, in point of fact, Russia already possesses the rights which are the subject of the present dispute. We must, however, look with consi derable suspicion 'on an attempt to revive a dormant claim, said to be founded on a convention dated some eighty years ago. It is only for the Imperial diplomatist to assert that a convention in the interest of the co-reli gionaries of Russia is nothing new, either in principle or in fact, and that it was only the treaty that France had made with the Porte respecting the Holy Shrines, which compelled the Court of St. Petersburgh to demand fresh guarantees for the Greek Christians. But, whatever colour may be given to the objects of Prince Menschi koff's mission, it is undeniable that he endeavoured to induce the Porte to enter into specific engagements with Russia, and with Russia exclusively, in favour of a large and powerful class of the Sultan's sub jects ; and the rejection of that most unjustifiable and arrogant demand is the sole cause of the pending crisis. Turkey has evinced no unwillingness to give the largest guarantees to the Great Powers collectively, that the rights and immunities of the Christians should be duly maintained ; but she declined to enter into any separate arrangement with the Court of St. Petersburgh, which would have invested the latter with a power and influ ence fatal to her own independence. The conduct of Russia throughout this affair has been strangely inconsistent with the forbearance and modera tion which Count Nesselrode claims for his Imperial master. If the demands of the Czar were founded on any principle of justice, and on former concessions—if nothing more was sought than an amicable adjustment of a difficult question of detail—the armaments in the Black Sea, and the menacing language of Prince Men schikoff, were as uncalled for as they were offensive. It is but too apparent that the Russian Government felt, from the first, the untenable nature of the demands which its Envoy was instructed to make, and foresaw the necessity of having recourse to arms. To that ar bitrement the Emperor has finally declared his intention to appeal, unless his behest should be complied with be fore the lapse of a period of eight days, which has already expired. As it is extremely improbable that the Porte has receded from its decision, we cannot but await the sequel with serious solicitude. , Whatever may be the issue, it is certain that the situation is gravely compli cated by the demonstrations of Russia. Turkey has already been grievously injured, and she has been com pelled to make vast sacrifices for the defence of her frontiers. Yet we are unwilling to relinquish the hope that the Czar will perceive, ere it be too late, the enor mous risk to which the peace of Europe is exposed by his selfish and unjustifiable policy, and that ho will see the wisdom of retracing his steps before an act of posi tive aggression shall have rendered impossible a pacific solution of the existing difficulties. (Prong the Morning Post. ) By the publication of a circular addressed to her diplomatic agents, which we believe they have not yet communicated to the Governments to which they are accredited, Russia displays more anxious haste to excuse her position, than real respect for that public opinion which is strong as true in its appreciation of her conduct. Never hitherto has a secret diplomatic document been so hastily published, and of all the Cabinets of Europe, that of St. Petersburgh has been most chary of even crumbs of information. It is, therefore, an unheard-of thing to see Russia rush into print, and to find the Czar appealing to public opinion. Of the progress of intelligence in Russia we have no very accurate measure —perhaps, indeed, we may dispense with one altogether, as the existence of progress in that country is more than problematical. It is, nevertheless, surprising to find a man of the ex perience of the Emperor Nicholas betraying so much ignorance of the intelligence of Europe at large, as to venture to put forth a statement so transparently un reasonable as the extraordinary note of Count Nessel rode, which we again publish in another column, as the most complete proof of the hollow duplicity of*Russia. There is no compromise now possible. "The reprieve of eight days granted to the Porte" has not had the effect of causing the Sultan to yield up the fairest portion of his subjects to foreign domination ; and as to the "cutting of the Gordian knot," which the Russian speaks of, be may find that a_tougher job than he .ex pects.

See pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., ) st. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. idly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though ho cease his current payments for any number of years; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After be has withdrawn part one year ho can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards, raise his policy to a greater or even Its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fluld to fly to in Case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at enco lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fttnd to fly to for aid, all his hail-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes servo to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor i n case of death, thus combining the striking.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, Ste., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist once secret causes of sell-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring 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 consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is searaely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of scien sacannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of thehypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, ha has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION.

TRUST AND LOAN COMPANY OF UPPER CANADA.— Yesterday an extraordinary general meeting of this company was held at the offices in:Moorgate-street, to consider the propriety of authorising the directors to issue 25,000 new shares of 201. each, in accordance with the provisions of the royal charter of incorporation. Mr. Chapman occupied the chair, and stated that at the last meeting on the same subject he had occasion to enter so fully into the causes which had led the directors to suggest the propriety of issuing new shares, that it was unnecessary for him at that moment to go into further details. The object of the creation of addi• tional capital was to enable the directors to extend the useful associations of the company, which there was now a favourable opportunity of doing. Admiral Kelly moved a resolution authorising the issue of the new shares as above-mentioned, and congratulated the pro prietors on the successful management and prosperous condition of the company. The resolution was seconded and unanimously adopted. The chairman then observed, in proof of the stability of the company, that the Globe Insurance Company had offered to lend them 20,0001. on their debentures. The meeting then separated. EMIGRATION FROM SOUTHAMPTON.—The emigration commissioners have chartered the following ships to convey out emigrants from Southampton to Australia, ; between this and the Ist of August next, viz., the Oithona, Statesman, Edinburgh, Athenian, Credenda, Herefordshire, Pekin, Maidstone, and Epaminondas. • The gross tonnage of these vessels is about 9,000 tone. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. (From, the Times.) The Russian Government has at length broken the silence which it had observed since the commencement of the negotiations of Prince Menschikoff, and the Jour nal of St. PeterBburgli, has been authorised to communi cate to the world a circular dispatch of the 12th of June, in which Count Nesselrode sets forth and explains, in the sense.of the Russian Cabinet, the causes of the present crisis, and the views upon which the Emperor of RussiL is prepared to act. Our readers will find in this impor. tant State paper, which we recommend to their attentive perusal, a nil; ute confirmation of the statements we have from time to time laid before them ; and, though we en tirely differ from the conclusions at which the Russia] Cabinet arrives, we can discover no material fact in thin authentic narrative beyond those already known to us. It is perfectly true, as we have all along said, that tilt indiscreet interference of the French Government witi. the Holy Places was the original cause of the embarrass meats which have since ensued, and we should insist tht more strongly on this point if it were not that the Frencl Government has made all the reparation in its power foi this signal blunder, by abandoning the . pretensions it had raised, and acquiescing in the iast, &mans. with re ference to the Holy Places granted by the Porte to tin Russian Envoy. But, as this point is admitted by tht Russian manifesto, the substantial injury complained of by the Emperor Nicholas must be held to have been already repaired, and the remaining questions are, whether the affront he had received was such as to entitle him to exact signal reparation, and whether the arrangement made requires a more solemr sanction kn. its future maintenance. The Ottoman au- thorities are accused of " tergiversation and duplicity," because they neglected to proceed to the registration and execution at Jerusalem of the firman they had granted at Constantinople ; and because they had sub sequently committed " that most flagrant infraction of placing in the hands of the Latin Patriarch the key of the principal door of the church at Bethlehem." But, will any one acknowledge that this act is to be regarded as a cause of war, especially when it has been repaired by a subsequent arrangement ? Or are we to be told, in a State paper of the 19th century, that two empires are brought to the verge of hostilities because it was disputed, some months ago, which of two rival priests of the same faith was to keep the key of a church sacred to the nativity of their common Redeemer ? All his tory cannot afford so frivolous and disgraceful a pre tence for such proceedings, and we are more than eves justified in the tone of contemptuous reprobation in which we have uniformly spoken of the causes of such a quarrel. But the Russian Government goes further. It affirms that, " as for the protection of the Greco-Russian wor ship in Turkey, it needs no other rights than those it al ready derives from its treaties, its position, and the influ ence resulting from the religious sympathy existing be tween 50 millions of Russians of the Greek Church and the great majority of the Christian subjects of the Sultan —an influence of ages--an influence inevitable, because it is in facts, not in words—which the Emperor found when he ascended the throne, and which he can not renounce without abandoning the glorious inheritance of his august predecessors." Claims . so absolute, expressed in such language, are not so easily subjected to a process of argumentative proof. But in this case such proof is altogether wanting. We utterly deny this audacious attempt to identify the Eastern Church, as it exists under its own patriarchs and synods in the dominions of the Porte, with the Russian branch of that Church, whose head is the Czar. This claim is precisely that which no foreign nations can admit, be cause it amounts to the conversion of an alleged confor mity of religious worship into a title to spiritual depend ence and political influence. Austria has millions of subjects as well as Turkey belonging to the Greek Church. The kingdom of Greece belongs entirely to that persuasion. Is it to be contended for an instant that the religious sympathy of these Churches with 50 millions of Russians constitutes a ground of Russian supremacy ? The very reason for which Prince Men schikofrs proposals were not only rejected by Turkey, but condemned by Europe, is that this proposition was supposed to lurk in the guarded terms of the first article. We cannot but regard it as an evil symptom that the same doctrine should now be repeated more explicitly and vehemently in a formal document, addressed not only to the Courts of Europe, but to the Russian nation, whose religious passions and national ambition such a declaration is strongly calculated to excite and inflame. It is contended that instances are not wanting in which treaties have been concluded granting to certain Powers a right of protection over their co-religionists in foreign States. Thus, we have held such stipulations in favour of the Hungarian and Piedmontese Protestants, and France claims similar rights in favour of the Latin Christians in the East. But the principle is not the same, because it has never been supposed that such con cessions were made where they could confer political in fluence, and such foreign protection was only tolerated because it applied to a very weak and scanty minority. To apply the same principle to a mass of many millions, constituting the large majority of the population of Turkey in Europe, is to change its nature. But Russia argues as if such rights already existed, and, because exceptional rights of this nature have sometimes been conceded by treaty, she asserts a right to demand their formal recognition. That is to beg the question alto gether, and to act before the contract is signed as if it were already in full force, for under the most binding treaty she could do no more than threaten war to avenge a breach of it. The most conclusive portion of the Russian circular appears to us to be absolutely condemnatory of the course pursued by the Emperor Nicholas. It is argued, with great force, that nothing can be more inconsistent with the policy of his reign and with all his recent ac tions than that, having laboured with success to con tribute to the pacification and tranquillity of Europe after the convulsion of 1848, he should now direct his ambitious views to the East, where all the Powers are united against him. It is added, that "if Russia is strong she wants no such act as she demands, mid if she be weak it would not add to her power." We can conceive no answer to these objections, which are, in fact, the very same urged against the policy of Russia by every independent organ in Europe. But,unhappily, the facts of the case contradict the theory of this note. The publication of the note itself materially increases the difficulty, for it cannot but excite public opinion in Russia, and it pledges the Imperial Govern ment "to procure, by a more decided attitude, the satisfaction it has vainly attempted to obtain by pacific means." Such language, in circumstances like the pre sent, is the ordinary prelude to hostilities ; yet such is the singularity of this case that without an attempt to produce a definite cause of war, the Russian Govern. ment affects a maudlin regret for the extremities to which it is reduced. Such language is not dignified, for it cannot be honest ; and it is mischievous, because it con tracts the already narrow ground on which it may be possible to arrive at a compromise. The last change in the form of Prince Menschikoff 's proposals is one of words, but not of substance ; for the note tendered by him for the signature of the Turkish Ministers compre hends all the articles of the Sened, and the passive ac ceptance of such a declaration would be as great a con fession of impotence as the conclusion of a treaty to the same effect. Yet the official publication of this draught by the Russian Government would seem to imply that it is entirely resolved to insist on one of the two alter natives—of submission to these terms, or war. On one point of the horizon, however, a hope still remains that negotiations may be resumed. The Emperor of Russia has applied to the Cabinet of Vienna for its good offices at Constantinople, to induce the Porte to submit to the ultimatum, and this circumstance has doubtless given rise to the inaccurate statement that the mediation of Austria had been accepted. The Austrian Govern ment is said to have replied that it could not give its good offices or assistance merely to urge upon the Porte the acceptance of terms which it did not approve, but that it is ready to instruct the Internuncio, M. de Bruck, to endeavour to find some middle term or means of com prise between the last demand of Prince Menschikoff and the last concession of the Porte. The point is, in truth, a very narrow one, and if this conciliatory sugges tion of Austria be accepted by the Emperor of Russia peace may still be maintained. If the Russian Government had preferred its claims to that amount of redress to which it might fairly be en titled without bullying, without intimidation, and with out any attempt to impose on Turkey and the world, no doubt it would have obtained all that the case required. But it resorted to means altogether disproportioned to the extent of its avowed pretensions, and apparently cal culated to defeat their success. It N impossible to sup pose that the astute Cabinet of St. Petersburgh would so have overplayed its part without some ulterior motive ; and when it labours to demonstrate to Europe that, after all, the case lies in a nutshell, and that its claims are reduced to the most unpretending scale, Europe will naturally ask why such claims are sup ported by so great an array of diplomacy and of armies, and how it came to pass that the Emperor Nicholas is ready to sacrifice all the most important political rela tions of the Continent to a matter which he himself de scribes as insignificant and superfluous. It is impossible to find a justification of conduct so momentous in the occurrences which have taken place, and the language of peace and moderation is a mockery when it serves only to conceal vast and uncalled-for preparations for war. Meanwhile, the British fleet, having proceeded on its course, reached Besika Bay on the 13th inst., the fifth day from its leaving Malta; and, as the French fleet was still at Salamis on the 11th, it is probable that Admiral Dundas was the first to arrive in the Turkish waters, where he will, without doubt, be speedily joined by Ad miral Lasusse. The military preparations of the Turks continue with great alacrity, and, from the accounts we receive from several parts of the empire, these armaments excite an enthusiasm not confined to the Mussulman subjects of the Porte. The Christian populations seem everywhere to understand that the question really at stake is not merely the existence of the Turkish Govern ment or their own religious privileges, as their future national independence, and there never was a time when the influencd of this country predominated more exten sively in the East than at the present moment. We owe that influence to a policy the most opposite to that which Russia has pursued. Our commercial enterprise DIRECTORS.

TT is said Russia claims what Turkey won't allow: possibly the Emperor of the North is not content to take "Turkey figs and carpets" in preference to "Russian tallow and hides ;" or he may think a slice from the Eastern Empire would probably improve his Northern dominions. However this affair may terminate, it will no way influence those claims which the season brings round ; nor is it desirable it should, for from them manifold pleasures are derived Gentlemen of all professions, Mechanics, and Labourers claim attire suitable for wear in their occupations, and for Dress occasions—the articles which never fall to impart an elegant, gentlemanly, and fashionable arpearance. All these advantages, associated with very low charges, are displayed in the Clothing to Measure, or Iteady-made, at the Establishment of E. Mosss and bore, Ali gate and Minories, or their Branch Establishment, New Oxtordstreet, corner of Hart•street. The claims of Young Gentlemen about to return from school may be easily anticipated by Parents and Guardians. These claims ate new claims, which E.

The commercial intelligence from New York by the Atlantic, describes a slight increase of buoyancy in the money market, while at the same time the remittances *f specie to England are likely to continue, the amount on the present occasion being 61,0001. The draughts from China on London upon American account, caused by the hoarding and high rate of interest in that coun try, will render these supplies more necessary. In the import trade there was undiminished activity, and the arrivals of manufactured goods continued to be greatly in excess of those at the corresponding period of last year. The papers contain accounts of gold discoveries in Arkansas (one of the repudiating States of the Union), and give the usual reports of the prevalence of great excitement on the subject, of which, pro bably, in a few weeks nothing more will be beard. Accounts from California are steadily favourable, and as free from any remarkable discoveries or failures as if the staple production of the State were cot ton or corn instead of geld. The general prosperity of the miners is said, however, to be greater than at any previous period, while the field for new-comers is still believed to be inexhaustible. The shipments of gold from San Francisco during the first fortnight in May had been 600,0001., exclusive of the amounts privately taken by passengers. With regard to the boundary dis-. pute with Mexico, known as the Mesilla Valley question nothing further had transpired, but the tone of the go vernment organs at Washington was alleged by their opponents to indicate a strong probability that, upon this or some other point, difficulties between the two countries will be protracted. One writer at Washington gives the following particulars, gathered from recent ad vices, regarding the general progress of affairs under Santa Anna, and adds his views as to the policy of the present American Cabinet, which seems to be to absorb the country quietly, if it can be had in that manner, by paying for it : " Mr. Jacques, one of the partners in the English bank tahaotvearodmvaenoctedoo ehthbesau of th sum of 400 e s , °°° 1 100 Tehuantepec Company , and u p on the p led g e of the con. bank ing-house ; h . to ou s the i n Mexican Mexico tract itself, has arrived in New Orleans, and is on his way to this city and New York, on business connected with that great contract. The funds for carrying the con tract into effect will not be advanced by Mexican capr, talists, nor by the Mexican Government, and they have not yet been raised in the United States. It is now said that an effort is about to be made to raise the necessary funds in England. I learn, through pri va t e l e tt ers f rom Mexico, that President Santa Anna has secured the esta blishment of a line of steam-ship packets between Vera . Cruz and Havre, through a French company, to which he has granted very important privileges. From the same source I learn that Santa Anna has given encou ragement to every feasible enterprise of internal im provement—to railroads and other projects. These sub jects he has taken hold of with great zeal and spirit, show ing a just appreciation of the capabilities of Mexico, and of the necessity for their development. lam confident that the present Administration intend to give Santa Anna a fair chance to arrange all difficulties with the United States on terms beneficial to Mexico. He will have before him the alternative of peace, and commerce, and prosperity, and his boasted ' nationality' on one side, and war, embarrassment, destruction, and final denationalisa tion on the other. Our Government will insist upon the possession of the Mesilla Valley, for the Democratic Con gress has already decided that matter, but they will pay =Mexicoa , good yeund sum for an alterstion`of the - bouudary line, so as to give us a route to the Pacific through Chi ; huahua and Sonora, and for an exemption from the obliga tion of the 11th article of the Treaty of Guadaloupe. and s for the Tehuantepec transit." - R OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
