The East and West-end powers of E.

THE MOST CERTAIN PREVENTION OF CHOLERA EVER DISCOVERED. THE BEST and CHEAPEST DISIN FECTIN, FLUID is CREW'S IMPROVED CHLORIDE of ZINC, for the purification of Dwelling-houses, Stables, Dog Ken nel% Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, Water-closets, &c.; the Disin fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of Contagion. Chloride of Zinc, as the best ISsinfeettng and purifying agent, is now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application and innortious in itself. The high price at which it hes hitherto been sold has prei , ented its general use ; to obviate this obstacle to its universal application ~as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the present manufacturer, wno was many years with Sir W. Burnett's Company, has arranged to supp'y the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in greatest purity aud at the lowest price. It is sold by all Cnear'sts and Ship .inc Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bott'es et 29. 6d. each ; in pints, is. ; half pints, 6d. each ; and in large': vessels at 6s. per Gallon. Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution and use. Concentrated Chloride of ZiFic in use may be diluted with 200 times its quantity of water.

SING SING PRISON, NEW YORK.—Three weeks ago a convict, named James Dunn, escaped in an ingenious manner from the Sing Sing Prison. He made his way under water from the prison to a point about a mile dis tant, where he went on shore, and could not afterwards be found by the officers of the prison or the authorities. He did this by means of a waterproof pipe, the lower end of which he held in his mouth, while the upper end was joined to a small bag of air which looked like a duck, and floated upon the surface of the water. By this means he breathed while he made his way slowly under water. Efforts were made by the prison officers to capture him, but without avail. Learning that a num ber of prisoners were aware of the escape of Dunn, and were planning for their own escape, the officer of the prison resorted to a ruse to give the impression that he was caught, and was killed in the attempt to take him. A funeral took place at the prison, and a coffin filled with shavings, said to contain Dunn's body, was interred, for the purpose of intimidating the prisoners. Citizens of Sing-Sing hearing of this, had the coroner to hold an investigation, which brought the deception to light. Information was recently gained at the prison that Dunn had been seen in the upper part of this city. On Friday evening Captain Andrews, warden of the prison ; C. C. Childs, jun., clerk of the prison ; an d Keepers Washburn and Baker came to the city, and having ascertained the residence of Dunn's relatives, watched the house. At eight o'clock on Saturday morning, finding the doors locked, they burst them in to search for Dunn. Meantime Dunn leaped from the window of the second storey and ran, but was overtaken about two blocks distant from the house. He had a pistol in his hand when captured. He was taken back to Sing-Sing, to finish his term of imprisonment.----New York Tribune. NEW DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.— On Saturday came into operation a new division of the , county of Middlesex, for the purpose, of holding petty. sessions, in compliance with the decision of the magis trates at the general quarter sessions, held at the Sea.: sions-house, Clerkenwell-green, on the 4th July. The alteration was resolved upon in consequence of the in crease of population of several of the parishes which have hitherto been incorporated with other divisions, such as Paddington, St. Pancras, and Marylebone. The two latter parishes have local acts, by which they seve rally possess the privilege of having sessions for granting and transferring publicans' licenses, and for hearing complaints against those tradesmen who, have false weights and measures ; but at these sessions the magis trates do not possess all the power appertaining to petty sessions. These parishes will, therefore, have the power to hold petty sessions. There are other parishes, which will be taken from one and added to another di vision. Thus, Ealing which was part of the Kensing ton division, as was also New Brentford, will in future be attached to ithe Hundred of Isleworth, as will also the parishes of Hanwell, Greenford, Perrivale, and Northolt, which were in the Hundred of Elthorne. The new divisions are the following :—Marylebone, Pancras, Paddington, South Mimms, Uxbridge, Brentford, St. Margaret, Hanover-square, St. James, and the Strand Union. The Holborn, Finsbury, Kensington, and the Edmonton divisions are newly constituted, the three first mentioned in consequence of the above parishes being removed from them, and Edmonton on account of the parish of Stoke Newington being joined to it. It will depend upon the justices of the several divisions when petty sessions shall be held. ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL SCHOOL.—SES SION 1853-54.

A formal declaration of war by Turkey against Russia may too. probably precipitate Europe into the perils of the struggle so long foreseen, but so anxiously evaded. It is much to be lamented that the rulers of the Ottoman nation did not suspend their decision on so momentous a point until they could obtain the voluntary concurrence of those powers on whose aid they must eventually rely, but, excepting on this point of omission, there can be no complaint made of the step now announced. It was admitted on all sides, and distinctly alleged in the Ministerial note of the British Government, that a cams belli was actually constituted by the passage of the Pruth and the armed occupation of the Danubian Principalities ; nor can the right of the Sultan to meet this aggression by a declaration of war be possibly impeached. The sovereignty of the Ottoman Government is one of the points which has been most strenuously maintained in the pending dispute, and this sovereignty, it is evident, would be absolutely destroyed if right of mak ing peace or war were denied to its representatives. The Sultan, in short, by declaring war, does nothing but what he would have been justified in doing three months ago, and, though we may regret that such a resolution should have been independently adopted by a dependent Government, it cannot be held to have forfeited its claims to support. It is impossible, moreover, to deny that the position of affairs was sufficient to provoke the Turks to a summary decision, and it is, indeed, matter of surprise that they should have foreborne so long. The Emperor of Russia, first by the demands of Prince Menschikoff, and afterwards by the unscrupulous exposition of Count Nesselrode, exacted concessrens from the Turkish Government incompatible with its administrative independence, and, as a guarantee for the surrender required, seized upon and occupied the provinces of Wal lachia and Moldavia. By these proceedings Russia possessed herself of a material equivalent, and could therefore afford, without loss or anxiety, to leave the original question in suspense. This sus pense, however, was in the highest degree injurious to the Turks, who were thus driven to the alterna tive of either satisfying an unjust demand or acquiescing in a loss of territory. The French and British Governments, which have committed themselves unhesitatingly to the came of the Sultan, will, of course, not withdraw their support when he • takes a step which they have already acknowledged he would be justified in taking. We may still hope, perhaps, that concession on one side or forbearance on the other may pre clude the extremities of actual war ; nor is the change, indeed, in the position of affairs quite so serious as jt may appear. Considering the disposi tions and preparations of the two Governments, the situation of their forces, and the prospects placed before them, the mere declaration of war can add but little to the existing realities of the contest, unless followed up immediately by offensive opera tions. Yet, as the Danube rolls between the two armies, and as the passage of such a river by either force in the face of the other would be a most desperate enterprise, it may possibly be some time before we receive intelligence of active hostilities. But, whatever may be the character or incidents of the struggle, one opinion only can be formed of the aggression which has provoked it. Different views may well be taken of the destinies of the Ottoman Empire, but the judgment of civilised Europe has been pronounced without variation on the conduct of the Russian Government. The demands of the Czar for a new spiritual protecto rate were totally unwarranted by any facts before the world. The Greek Christians had not been subjected to any recent or extraordinary disabili ties, and, so far from claiming the protection so officiously offered to them, they were notoriously suspicious of its purport. As far as Russia was entitled by any existing treaty to rights or privi leges in connexion with the Ottoman subjects, her pretensions were fully admitted, nor was it so much as alleged on the part of the Czar that they had been in any degree impeached. If what he desired was nothing but the maintenance of existing com pacts, this guarantee, although manifestly super fluous, was entirely at his disposal ; if he desired anything more; he was clearly not entitled to exact satisfaction by force of arms. It was undoubtedly 'competent to the Russian Government to enter into negotiations with the Porte on this or any other subject ; but to prefer a gratuitous demand upon an independent State, and then to back this requisition by an immediate act of war, was an outrage upon common justice no less than European law. Some allowance might possibly have been ex tended to the Emperor Nicholas if he had simply desired to receive conditions at the hands of the this unjustifiable ex cuse Conference instead of at those of the Turks ; b u t was t t a e k n e e n ur fr e o f m co h u im nt N by eas t e h ir e e a d rre,oag-last and dispatch. This dispatch, in objecting not to the e a source ene , but r proclaimed a t i h m e e substance undisguisedlyf the Turkish t he f the Czar t o th rus t his intervention, forpurposes political aggrandisement upon the inte m nte a n l m t a i ° o d m nistration o f th e Turkishmodifi cations, impos sible, in fact, a ft er th avenmwpialrse.whiletht was a l oe e docu ment contained, t o rely any interpretation of that particularlonger upon a mere note which th e His own Emperor had accept e d. intentions, de clared through the manif es t o of his own Minister, pointed unmistakeably to su c h an a Ottoman independence that no option remained upon between firm resistance and unqualifi e d concession ; and, as the latter alternative could not b e a d op t e d , it became the turn of the Czar to receive an ulti matum from the hands of others. We entertained hopes that conditions based so manifestly upon justice, and backed by the universal opinion of Europe, might find acceptance without the neces sity of an appeal to arms. We should be reluc tant even now to forego this expectation entirely, for it is understood that at Olmiitz the Czar dis claimed in most emphatic terms any desire or in tention to interfere with the internal administra tion of the Porte. Words, however, are but of little value, and, if Russia persists in abiding by demands declared inadmissible, she must be pre pared to encounter the resolute hostility of Powers indisposed for war, but ready to accept even this sad alternative rather than forsake the duties they owe to Europe at large. The European Governments, whatever may be the accidents affecting their respective positions, are all fully convinced of the necessity of meeting Russian encroachments by a vigorous resistance. This obligation, however costly or unwelcome, is one which cannot be repudiated. The Czar has -already experienced the utmost moderation and forbearanre from the representatives of the other Powers. His acts of open war were for some time suffered to escape the notice they merited. His pretensions were all considerately received, and every right to which he could show the smallest claim was admitted and confirmed. As far as re garded the Christians, whose security he made the pretext of his proceedings, the fullest assurances were offered on the part of the Sultan that th e i r ll privilegesthat and immunities sh ou ld b e respected. Awas refused was such a right of interven tion in matters spiritual as would invest the Empe ror of Russia with effective authority in the Otto man dominions. Count Nesselrode's dispatch claims in distinct terms for the Russian So vere i gn all those rights be enjoyed over 1 .2, bycertainothero 00,00 Co of the Sultan's p s o u te b n je t c a ts tes which may over subjects of their own resident in Turkish territories. This, it is perfectly plain, cou ld not be conceded without giving the Emperor of Russia abundant facilities for becoming Emperor of Turkey also. The European Powers are not desirous that this con summation should take place ; they are anxious to avert it, if possible, by peaceful negotiations, and at a less cost than that of a general war ; but, if matters are actually brought to extremities, and the Czar still refuses to recede, he must be prepared to encounter the full force of the hostility he has thus provoked. (From Lite Morning Herald. ) So we have now two dispatches from Vienna— the one announcing that Lord Westmoreland had declared at Olmutz that England would not support the Turks, if Russia agreed not to consider the pas sage of the Dardanelles by our ships of war as an infringement of the treaty of 1841 ; the other, that the Divan had taken the initiative, and declared war against the northern Colossus. The astounding and unheard-of baseness with which the truth of the first statement would brand the Coalition, is not, considering their antecedents, sufficient to authorise us in asserting that it is false; there is, in fact, nothing in the shape of submission to the Czar of which the present Administration is [ not capable. _ The second report, if true, is merely the com mencement of that contest which, in our view ' has been inevitable since England first showed the white feather, by not acting at once in firm resist ance of the occupation of the Principalities. We are, then, to conclude that the dogs of war are once more let slip, and that the contest which, for good or evil, is destined to change the face of the globe, has really commenced. Now will be seen . the truth of the great Duke's assertion, that the British nation cannot have a little war, at all events in Europe. We, at least, have never attempted to disguise from our readers that the war, which we still be lieve might have been averted by time TY c ourage and resolution, exerted si x mon ths ago , would ? when it did come, be one on w hi c h England Must stake her position as the l ea d er o f civilisation i.n Europe and Asia. It was on ly y e sterday we de clared our opinion that the vacillation and pol troonery of our rulers had brought matters to such a pass that would require the appearance of a mighty army of Englishmen and Frenchmen in the valley of the Danube to stop the Czar effectively. That assertion we made and still maintain, in order to show our readers the nature of the contest in which the miserable policy of Lords Aderdeen and Clarendon has involved, we say unnecessarily in volved, the country. We speak of the fact as ac complished, for we do not believe that English men are as yet reduced so low, by a policy which sees in trade alone the object for which a nation should exist, as that they should now shrink back from the conflict, when by so doing they must vio late every engagement which honour holds dear, and surrender every claim to independence, honesty, and courage. In fact, by,shrinking now, England at once becomes a mere trading nation, and the fate of. Venice may serve to proie/how short a time mercantile supremacy can be maintained when the naval and military powers to protect it have been surrendered. It is now absolutely necessary that Englishmen should look matters in the face as they really are. For a long time our journals have maintained that the power of Russia was a house of cards, which would crumble to pieces at the first broadside— and that Nicholas himself was a bully, who would shrink into imbecility at the first demonstration of firmness on our part. If so, it is a great pity that a little of that powerful specific was not tried long before he had advanced to a position from which there was no retreat without placing himself in the pillory of ridicule for all ages to come. This species of ribaldry, however, is only on a par with the boastful assertion that the great fortress of Sebastopol, with all its shoal water and outlying batteries, can be blown out of the water by a few war steamers. The fact is, England must make up her mind to a contest of which the world has hardly seen the equal—never, except that in which she struck down:Napoleon, as she will strike down Nicholas if she be only true to herself, and place her destinies in strong hands. The man who quailed before Smith O'Brien is no match for the Russian Autocrat • nor is the power which rolled back in ruin and defeat the broken remnants of an army of 500,000 men, in 1812, one which we can afford to despise. At the commencement of the present year the Czar had collected an army of 80,000 soldiers to enforce his demands on the Porte ; but diplomacy and Aberdeen have done their work, and 309,090 would not now count the host which will have held almost undisputed pos session of the northern bank of the Danube for nine long ;months before the season arrives when we can make an effective effort to remove them. Again—as we declared all along must be the case—Austria is joined with Russia for weal or woe. It is of no use pouring forth the phials of wrath had abuse upon this decaying empire : her position is one of necessity. The despotism of Austria can- not expect, as she does not deserve, mercy from the rising power of the people whom she has for centuries ground into the dust ; and it is not to be supposed that the long evenings at Olmutz rolled over without its being impressed on the mind of Francis Jof,eph that Italy was lost for ever ' • that the despotic powers must stand or fall together ; and that Austria must seek compensation on the eastern shores of the Adriatic for that which she will inevitably lose upon the western coast. The fact, however, of Austria being coerced by dire ne .. cessity, now that the moment of decision has ar rived, to take part with Russia, only renders it the more necessary that she should put forth her whole strength, for well must her rulers know that this will be her final struggle for life or death. Italy she cannot hope to hold, once the western powers declare against her, but with Russia to aid she may still expect, we hope erroneously, to keep her gripe upon the throat of Hungary, ' and her heel upon the neck of Poland. Our object in entering into these details is simply to point out that England and France will have to gird up their loins and tax their utmost energies before they can hope to relax the hug with which the northern bear has clutched the Danubian pro vinces, and to warn them that a whole year of imbe cility and procrastination has quadrupled the diffi culties of the task of dispersing the storm which now lowers over Eastern Europe and Western Asia, a task upon the effectual fulfilment of which de pends, perhaps, the existence of England, certainly the freedom of the world. In proof of this we have only to refer to the first paragraph of foreign cor respondence that strikes our eye. There we find that Russia is at this moment engaged in reinforc ing and provisioning her garrisons on the south east coast of the Black Sea. Pots Anaklia and Port St. Nikolai are to be placed in a condition of i defence, while her forces are advancing n the neighbourhood of the Araxes and of Erzeroum. Now, had we acted. in a manly and s traightforward manner, and dispatched part of our fleet to Trebi zonde during the summer months, the sending of these reinforcements would have been rendered impossible, even if we had not—as we might have done—taken possession of the forts themselves. The thing itself is bad enough, but what must the Asiatic tribes think of the courage and energy of a power which, for a long year;has neglected such au opportunity. Again and again we reiterate, Englandmust now prepare herself to fight, once and for all, for her own independence, and the rights of all nations, civilised and uncivilised, whose liberties are threat ened by Russia. There is not a point of the earth where the machinations of the Czar cannot be traced —from nearly under the North Pole, and close to the Icy Sea--where his agents are undermining the Swedish Government, by interfering with the rights of pasturage held unquestioned by the Fins and Laps for untold ages—to the northern frontier of China and the banks of the Indus. Everywhere, —in Persia, on the Danube, in Affghanistan— wherever there is a friend of England to persecute, or an enemy to irritate and excite against us, there we shall find the Russ. Well may the words of the poet, applied to the Andes, be paraphrased as a description of this huge and overweening power : " Where Russia,' giant of the Eastern Star With war's red' standard to the winds unfurled, Looks from her throne of ' ice' o'er half the world." We tell the people of England it will not do to entrust the conduct of this mighty struggle to feeble and imbecile hands. It is a work which will task the strongest heads and most powerful arms. It is nevertheless, a struggle, which, under Pro v id ence , may be the means of ? restoring England to her senses, but at all events, of this we m a y b e cer t a i n, that it will scatter to the winds the delusions which we have been raising into idols for the last 20 years ; and the knowledge that such must be the case is the true reason why Whigs and Peelites have stopped at no baseness—no meanness—no concession of England's honour—to postpone, even for a time, an event which they are well aware must dash •to atoms the miserable fallacies by which they have for long years deluded and misled the nation, whose own grasping cupidity had deli vered it into their hands. (From the Morning Chronicle.) By the declaration of the Ottoman Council, that the claims of Russia are to be resisted by war, one step further has been taken in the march of . European history ; a n d like every step hitherto' taken on the side of the Porte, it is blameless. We may even allow it is entitled to the fullest sympathy and to the frankest support—sympathy from all who can understand what, in the last re sort, is due to a nation from its chiefs, when its independence is assailed—Support from all who can comprehend the disgrace and the danger of per mitting the triumph of violence and fraud over right. By thus placing its own determination on unmistakeable grounds, the Porte does not impede, but facilitates the action of its friends ; and this is equally true whether that action is to be exerted in the direction of peace, or of preparation for war. It would be waste of argument now to show, once more, the real nature of the " magnanimous" moderation which are still inclined to attribute to the framers of the Nesselrode Note. All know in their hearts, and almost all now admit with their pens, that any retractation or modification of the Russian claims will be due to the convincing logic of the force arrayed in her front. In this point of view, the attitude definitively taken by Turkey strengthens, to an immeasurable extent, the hands of France and England, as actually nego tiating, not less than as possibly belligerent Powers. By the firmness which has appropriately followed so much forbearance on the part of the Porte, the diplomatists of the maritime Powers are placed in a clear position, and furnished with unanswerable arguments. They can now, better than before, bring to the mind of the Em peror and his advisers a full conviction of the consequences , of persisting in the course hitherto followed by Russia. Not that the councils of France and England have ever been either hesi tating or doubtful, but the Porte, by fixing the point from which it will not depart, and by declar nbe feel co assured, eat on will r T not fail ;o imperative declar ing that Turkey is prepa re d t o repe l' f orce b y force rill have removed all colou r o f uncertainty from the ..'u.o 7Tersguments of the represe n t a ti ves o f t h e West ern. p o wers. And which they, b. i we may o has w as that of maki ng th e Em peror Nicholas see that he tands, at l as t, f ace to and so easy war. Whether the status belli, which w:18 Commenced by the invasion of the Principalities, will be at f e a v e o e k e with —a tie general (:*e m cn which h has so w an t on l y once converted into active hostilities, it 'would be premature to speculate at this _ moment. The in telligence before us, however, although of the most momentous character, is, in one point of view, not unfavourable to such chances of peace as the force and fraud of Russia have left to the civilised world. In the meantime, our course is clearer, if possible, than it was before. Russia must recede, for we cannot. Whether the support given by the West ern Powers to the Porte, in diplomatic discussions, is now to be exchanged for the hostile presence of their fleets in, the Euxine—with the inevitable re sult, of the absolute annihilation of Rugg - an sliffk and commerce on that sea—is an alternative which it rests with the Czar to decide. The dispute has been tending for months to this solution, and it must come to it at last, if the Czar is still deaf to the voice of reason. The spirited resolve of the Ottoman Council will not be the cause of such a determination of the quarrel, and it may facilitate and hasten a more peaceful issue. Under cover of the military display and festive splendour of the Olmutz meeting, serious discus sions have doubtless been going on, and the world has been listening, with perhaps an overstrained in terest, for the escape of any indications of the views of the Imperial comrades. The ruse of uttering abroad that which it is convenient to have gene rally believed, rather than what is really intended, is said to be neither unknown nor unpractised by the diplomatists of Russia ; and consequently any expressions on their part, in favour of peace, cannot be viewed without suspicion. It may be that the Emperor has disclaimed all desire to persist in a course of isolated action, apart from the rest of Europe, and having for its object the subversion of the Ottoman Empire ; but suchassurances must now be regarded as a doubtful security for his for bearance, should circumstances favour his designs. On the other hand, however, they may be really indicative of a sincere readiness to effect a just and honourable accommodation ; and, in that case, we should much regret if the steps taken by the Porte should throw any obstacle in the way of so desirable a result. The declaration of war, however, ought pot to diminish the desire for peace, and it is more than possible that the Olmiitz Conference may lead to the resumption of the Vienna negotiations, and with the fairest prospect of a successful issue. It has already been pointed out that the step taken by the Ottoman Council ought to strengthen the hands of their allies ; but it must not be forgotten that the prudence of the Czar is more to be depend ed upon than his magnanimity, and that the Sultan has to guard against craft as well as force. Efforts to mislead opinion will not be wanting, so long as single point remains on which a distorted view is Possible. When a special announcement from Olmiitz pompously announces, as a matter of con gratulation in the interest of peace, the Emperor of Russia's alleged declaratio n th a t he will not re gard the passing of the Dardanelles as an act of war, if the use of the fleet is limited to its osten- , sible object, viz., the protection of the Christians, it is difficult not to mills at the condescension for which our admiration is claimed. Another mean- ing, however, may be given to such a declaration. To misrepresent the advance of the ships to Con stantinople as a step in the interest of Christians against Turks, and as therefore not to be resented by the Czar, was, in the mouth of the flatterers of Russia, a mere effort to throw some obscurity over the resolution of the Western Powers, which that 'step clearly indicated. But, coming from Russia herself, it may have a further drift—to establish a precedent, and lay a ground for future interference. It might, on a future occasion, be convenient to justifyan advance—on the pretence ofprotectingone portion of the Sultan's subjects against another— . by an appeal to the example of an unresented in- terferen - ce on the part of France and England in a case which, however dissimilar, yet afforded the shadow of a parallel. The Court of St. Petersburg has used arguments quite as fallacious before now. The passage of the Dardanelles, however, has not yet assumed a character so decidedly hostile as to close the door to pacific overtures ; as it may be ,treated as a maritime equivalent for the invasion of the Principalities. For the present, however, we are glad that the Czar regards it in the light of a quiet comment on the passage of the Pruth. Nevertheless, it is on a full apprehension, on the part of the Czar, of the real bearing of the step which has been taken by the Western Powers that we are to rely for the promotion of his peace ful intentions ; and on a just view of the forces arrayed against him, of the Improbability of means, and of the risks of calamitous failure, he may well Lave declared his readiness to retire on terms com- patible at once with the peace of Europe and with his own honour. Whatever those terms may be, however, they can never remove the stain which rests upon the character of a potentate who has committed an inexcusable act of useless violence. Unless a campaign has actually been begun, Prince Gortschakoff may re-cross the Pruth, without dis grace ; and the withdrawal of extravagant and unjust pretensions at the same time of the invad ing force, will be some atonement for the anxiety and suspense in which Europe has been so long kept. Should the renewed efforts for peace give birth to another form of agreement, no doubt it will be politely expressed towards the Emperor. Diplomatists are the last people in the world to forget the courteous and prudent maxim which bids us to build a bridge of gold for a retreat ing enemy. They must take care, how ever , th a t their bridge is not so constructed as to tempt or facilitate a future advance. Events have given warning already of the danger to which those who frame IN otes for the acceptance of St. Petersburg expose the peace of the world. The good sense and acuteness of the Mahometan Cabinet de tected the pitfall which had escaped the notice of the Conference, and thereby freed, not only them selves, but the Western Powers, from a peril . which they will not incur again. Agreement is, perhaps, still possible, and. is more than ever de sirable ; but no terms which do not clearly provide for the maintenance of the rights of Turkey, and for the future security of the world, against claims so unfounded as those which have . been so pertma- mously pressed, will be admissible on the part of the Western Powers, endurable by the Porte, or acceptable to the people of England. and upon their neglect of that summons, by en deavouring.to eject them by force. The eagerness of Omer Pasha and his troops is ematter of notoriety; and it is to be expected that he will skit with promptitude and: vigour upon re ceipt of his orders. While thus peace is threatened on the Danube, from Olmutz less formidable intelligence is re ceived, and, indeed, had that meeting of Sove reigns taken place one month earlier, there appears some reason to believe that the measures there concerted might have led to a peaceful issue. The Emperor of Russia repents, it is said, but we fear too late, the publication of the famous " Exami nation," which affected to consider the ViennA Note as tantamount to that originally demanded by Prince Menschikoff—because the Czar, by what ever moved, is in a better frame of mind, according to the latest accounts, and is disposed to make considerable and most important concessions. This change comes late in the day ; and if active hos, tilities have, as we may fear, been commenced on the Danube, it is to be doubted whether the humour which allows of concession will last ; and if it vanish, all chances of peace are lost for the present. Should warlike action, however; experience delay in its march, it is now affirmed that, thanks to the concessions the Emperor is to make, the Confer ence of Vienna has discoverted a method of equitable an d conclusive arrangement. If there be war, however protracted and disas trous in its course, the result must be—for we will not suppose defeat, where such powers as England and France are acting together—the preservation of the independence and integrity of the Ottoman .ife. t rue t o th eir ih t e rcsts n Empire, which wiILN maintained intact so long The efforts of ill-judged ambi t i on must yield sooner or later to the force of justic e an d t h e de 'ags.dthtel:Weiresotbelrii obligations of a nation, not so weak as th ey h ave been esteemed, when supported by at lea s t th e two greatest Powers of Europe. The passage of th e 1 7 f ati ° on w s e . rs Dardanelles by the whole of the combined squad rons will have given to the Sultan and his subjects good proof that their allies are in earnest. (From, the Daily News.) It is desii-able that there should be no mistake with -•respect to the exact nature of the news of a projected declaration of war at Constantinople, which we published yesterday. The different statements which have been put in circulation on this head are derived from sources which have nothing else in common but their conveyance by electric telegraph from Vienna. The information received at the Foreign-office, and at some of the Foreign Embassies, is simply that the Great Coun cil of the Ottoman Empire has; resolved to advise the Sultan to declare war against Russia. Other information—promulgated ostensibly on the autho rity of some unofficial telegraphic message—goes to affirm that the Sultan had actually signed a decla ration of war. This latter account is liable to sus picion from difficulties as to the time for conveying it from Constantinople to Trieste ; from the fact that there has been of late a regular, manufactory of alarming and exaggerated rumours at Trieste ; and also from its having been published along with some reports of actual hostilities which could not possibly have been brought by the same route, yet were so printed as to have the appearance of resting on the same authority. The only intelligence therefore, that at present appears t o b e entitl e d tc; any credence is, that the Great Council had recom mended a declaration of war. This restricted version of the story appears liable to no other doubt than arises from the obscurity which uniformly, if not necessarily, attaches to the curt phraseology of the electric telegraph. A day or two must probably elapse before the detailed explanation is brought by a human messenger, who, if he move more tardily than the electric spark, can at least carry more bulky and more explicit mes sages. That even the official version of the story increases the probability of a warlike solution of the Eastern difficulties there is no doubt ; but in this there is no cause for panic. This contingency, however deprecated, has all along been contem plated as possible, and should it come will be met without any flutter of the national pulse. The agi tation of the public securities yesterday is no index of the national feeling ; for the funds are prover bially as nervous and vapourish as a fine lady. The Ministers at present in town have been as sembled to deliberate on this news. The meeting can scarcely have been a very pleasant one. No English Minister likes to look the contingency of war closely and directly in the face. In the first place, the responsibility is inreality onerous enough to weigh upon the spirits of anyman. In the second place John Bull, however enthusiastic he may be at the outset of a popular war, is very apt to get tired of it when the bills come to be paid. or any tempo rary reverses occur, and to blame Ministers for do ing what he entirely sanctioned. But worse than either of these considerations some, at least, of the Ministers present must have felt painfully that to their own half-hearted,' undecided policy was wholly and solely owing the possibility of all their fine spun negotiations ending in a war. We explained yesterday how the lowered tone of Russia and the professed readiness of Austria to act once more in concert with the Western Powers, was owing en tirely to the conviction which the failure of Count Brentano's wind-raising mission had flashed upon. the Emperor and Czar of the impossibility of re plenishing their exhausted treasures. Had those two Powers been sooner put to the push, they would sooner have discovered that they cannot well afford to go to war. In that case their re treat before a determined expression of will by France and England would have been unqualified. Now, the vanity of Russia at least has been brought into play. Its retreat will be too obvious for its proud stomach. There will be a haggling, and it may be a brief local war on the Danube to save ap pearances ; for a pampered despot does not for a moment weigh the sufferings and bereavements of other men in the balance against his own wayward will. As Radetzky said, however, " the battle will be brief" (der Kampf wird kurtz sein). The battle, indeed, to which he referred is not yet fought out, and his declaration was premature. But any war in which Russia may, to save appearances, engage with the Porte, and its allies, must be brief on ac count of the condition of the Russian treasury. We urge this not as a reason why France and England should stand true to their engagements with Tur key. We do not even lay so much stress as some do upon the treaty -engagements which bind these powers to support Turkey ; except in so far as the observance of treaty stipulations is indispen sable to the existence of a system of international law, as opposed to a state of international anarchy. We rest the obligation of England and France to support the independence and integrity of the Otto man empire against Russian aggression, upon its being necessary to the defence of civilisation, impe rilled by a threatened irruption of barbarism. There are two causes which ought to be sacred in the eyes of every European of this ago. The first and holiest is the individual liberty of the citizen, guarded and regulated by constitutional laws. The second is national independence as necessary to pro tect parliamentary government where it exists, or to promote its development where it has yet to be called into being. The enemies of the one are the enemies of the other. The ultimate object of the Bourbons, when they trampled down the national independence of Spain, of the Hapsburgs when they trode out the spark of national independence n in . Naples, was to sweep from the earth principles_ and institutions the mere existence of which migh,t. l ._ . . t spire emulation in their own subjects..

The intelligence from Constantinople, which we published yesterday, if it cause no surprise, cannot but excite regret that the diplomacy of Europe and the efforts of her statesmen,. have as yet, so signally failed to settle a dispute m which right is all on one side and wrong alone on the other. There ap pears now to be every likelihood that the force of arms and the chances of war will soon be engaged in solving difficulties which the negotiations and conferences, the notes and circulars of the. Cabinets of Europe have been so slow to overcome. On the 26th ult., a Grand Council, convoked by the Sultan, and numbering one hundred and twenty-two civil and religious dignitaries, from amongst the most experienced and distinguished of his subjects, met to consider the rejection of the modifications of the Vienna Note by the Emperor of Russia, and the course to be pursued consequent on that rejection. It was resolved by the Council that it would be contrary to the dignity and sub versive of the sovereign authority of the Sultan) to sign the Vienna Note without the modifies. tions suggested by the Divan ; and that, inas muchs as the Czar declared those m odifications to be totally inadmissible, and refused to abandon ot.e his demand for an engagement destrucititvoenlyf h independence of the Ottoman Ern necessary for at once to adopt the measures to free his re mained for the Council to advise thpeisrSenu:ltan to pro ceedthe preservation of his empire,heir invader.

Then it degenerates into a loss of all-self respect. It becomes pusillanimity, and sinks the nation exhibiting it to the lowest point in the esti mation of all whose good opinion is . worth pos sessing. Longer forbearance on the part of Turkey would have been discreditable to her character, and sub versive of her position among the nations of the worid. The time had arrived when it was fitting that resentment s h ou ld ta k e the p l ace of patience. Turkey has acted as her best friends would have wished her, in boldly telling the Czar to his face that she would submit to his insolence no longer, but would meet him on the battle-field, to resent the insults he had offered to her, and "to attempt at least to visit him with righteous retribution for the wrongs widcb she had received at his hands. Those who are in the habit of reading this jour nal will be prepared for the intelligence which has just reached this country from Constantinople. We have not only, day after day, affirmed that the Sultan would not recede a single inch from the ground which he had taken up, but that the com mencement of actual hostilities might be expected at-any hour. The meeting of from 100 to 120 of the magnates of Turkey, who unanimously coun selled the immediate declaration of war, was a pro ceeding which merely gave due formality to a course of action which the Divan had before determined. to adopt. The great question now is—To what extent are France and England prepared to support Turkey t France, we presume, will do in the matter precisely what England does. What, then, will England do ? Before answering the question, it may be right to remind our rea d eia that whir., we have never ceased to say that we have no faith in the imbecile Russia-ridden Aberdeen, nor in the see tion of the Cabinet who share his views, we have, within ejast-ten-days, inclined to the belief that rston„ -Cleateirdon, and Russell have 'v'erffrearly, if not quite, worked up their determi nation to the sticking point, and that they will in sist on England acting, in the crisis which has oc curred, in a manner worthy of her character. The Morning _Herald, for whose zealous and able co-operation with us on the Turkish question, we feel the greatest gratitude, is afraid that our confi dence in these noble lords is misplaced. Our con temporary- says :—" We observe that one of our contemporaries, the Morning Advertiser, with whom we have all along agreed upon the merits,or rather demerits, of the Eastern question, has taken it into his head that the Government of England is at last going to act an honest and straightforward part in this hitherto disgraceful business. We confess we are of a totally different opinion upon this matter, and cannot help thinking that the ' last stage' will be, if possible, worse than the first.' Upon what data the Morning Advertiser grounds its supposition that Lord Clarendon will at last act boldly and honourably, we really cannot discover. We look back in vain through the history of the noble lord's life for any precedent, and Ending nothing but a long tissue of mystification and mis representation in everything in which he has ever taken a part, we must reluctantly conclude that similar characteristics will mark his career as long as the British public is content to tolerate him in an cfficial capacity." The data on which we ground our opinion—only a modified one, be it remembered—in favour of Lord Clarendon are, first, the assurance given by Lord Palmerston at Perth, that if he be backed by the country, he will, in this crisis, act with that energy which the honour of England, the interests of Turkey, and the wen-being of Europe demand ; and, secondly, that the Noble Lord is well known to have written of late some bold dispatches to St. Petersburgh, in which the Czar has been explicitly told that in certain contingencies, entirely depen dent on his own conduct, England, acting in con junction with France, will not hesitate at any course, however extreme, which may be necessary to check his ambition, repel his aggression on an unoffending neighbour, and chastise his insolence. The Morning Herald goes on to show, that the modified confidence which the Morning Advertiser has of late felt a disposition to repose in Lords Palmerston and Russell, is also misplaced. Our contemporary will remember, that we grounded this confidence in a very great measure on the in tense and universal feeling in favour of Turkey, which now possesses the public mind. How they would act, did no such public feeling exist, is another matter. We are inclined to think that they may prove the men for the occasion, if they are drilled and driven up to the mark by public opinion, expressed at such great gatherings of the people as took place on Monday in Leicester and. Hanley. Let a sense of their duty be only thus whipped into them, and they will, we believe, perform it. As, on the other hand, for Lord Aberdeen, no thing can be made of him. He is incorrigible. He will neither lead nor drive. He is the friend, and, in effect, the Minister of the Czar. Nothing will induce him to do aught that is really adverse to the Russian interest. We therefore give him up to the Herald, and have not a word to say in the way of objection to its portraiture of the ",travelled Thane," when it thus expresses itself :—" The no minal. Premier, of course, must be included in the same category, and from him nothing can be ex pected, except that he should continue to practise tee commit lion down—shall our c destinies we th es to men who have the same genuflexions to autocracy which Byrort described as being too much the tendency of English statesmen as long as 30 years gone by : ' What, shall reviving thraldom again be The patched-up image of enlightened days?

Yesterday a court was held for the dispatch of business. Mr. Alderman Wire and Mr. Wallis, the newly elected Sheriffs, were in attendance. The TOWN CLERK read a letter, addressed by the Lord Mayor elect to the Lord Mayor, expressing his willing ness to discharge the duties of the office to which he had been elected. PERSONATION OF VOTERS AT CITY ELECTIONS. Mr. GRESHAM said he should feel obliged if the City Solicitor would inform the court what had become of the directions given respecting three men, namely, Thomas Penny, James Penny, and Laurence Shaw, who on the 16th June were convicted at the Central Criminal Court of personation at the election, he believed, of Chamber lain. The court had then directed a reward to be of fered for the detection of the persons who had been in strumental in procuring the bribe. There had been two or three elections since the period in question, and the same practice had been found to be in existence. The CITY SOLICITOR replied that, in pursuance of the orders of the court, advertisements had been generally circulated through the City, as well as in the districts where the parties resided, who had been instrumental in procuring the bribe, and also on the river side, the low neighbourhoods from which it was sup posed the practices complained of generally pro ceeded. He bad 'not received any information in answer to these advertisements calculated to throw any additional light upon the subject. It was per fectly well known who -the man was that hired th e parties to personate, but he had no means of obtaining evidence ag ainst him, except the oath of the pa r ti es , themselves, who, although competent, were not credi ' ble witnesses.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE, STDENHAM.-011 Monday the whole of the firemen selected from the London Fire En gine establishment left the brigade, and took up their new quarters at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham. The works being sufficiently advanced as to be rendered-'in secure without a body of firemen to be present to ren der assistance in the event of a fire breaking out in such a vast otablishment, more especially as so many carpen ters and builders are constantly employed in the build ing. As yet no residence or sleeping apartments have been formed in the Palace for the use of the firemen, but a house has been hired for their temporary accommoda tion near the building.
