should demand either to be led against the enemy, or disbanded to be enabled at once to repel the invader, or to be permitted to return, to their own domiciles until hostilities should really commence. We cannot forget that the religious zeal and fanaticism of these men are fully equal to that of the most ultramontane Muscovite, and that when their passions have been inflamed to the utmost by something very like the proclamation of a holy war, they should not enter into any very wise calculations of chances as to the ultimate result, or remain contented in a state of inglorious quies cence. That a war party should arise amongst them is more than probable ; and it is impossible to predict to what length such a party may be disposed to go, or what may be the conse quences of their proceedings—whether attempts against the throne or the person of the SULTAN, or the official situations of his advisers, or, under the most favourable circumstances, that such a feeling of disappointment might be engendered, that the myth of the Shepherd's Boy and the Wolf would be illustrated on a gigantic scale, and the Turkish flock eventuallyfall a victim to the Muscovite wolf, when the services of their guar dians and protectors could no longer be obtained, on account of their apprehensions being lulled to rest by repeated false alarms. We need scarcely allude to the effects of con tinued doubt and indecision on the Western Powers. It is sufficient to point to the state of the Share Markets to see the effects of the panic there, to refer to our merchants for the commer cial paralysis, of which so many well-founded complaints have been put forward. All classes are suffering from the unjustifiable conduct of the CZAR, and the uncertainty that must prevail so long as the scales for peace or war are suspended in the hands of an individual intoxicated by the possession of absolute power, and whose interests are promoted while every other person's are mate rially damaged by the present state of affairs. Yes;. the CZAR is the only gainer by procras tination. His troops are quartered on the enemy —are living on the resources of the Danubian Principalities. It is true that the proclamation of Prince GORTSCIIAKOFF, as well as the circular of Count NESSELRODE, promise eventual pay ment, according to a stipulated scale. But that settlement will not be made until all negotiations have been concluded, and the question of peace or war ultimately decided. If actual hostilities should take place, what will be the chances of payment ? and when, if ever, will it be made ? But if there should be a peaceful solution of the difficulty, is it at least probable that Russian dip lomacy may insure some equivalent for the ex penses of the campaign ? Meantime the prices of every description of Russian produce will be materially enhanced in consequence of the exist ing doubts as to when the stocks can be renewed in the hands of the merchants, and the prospects of limited supplies for some time to come. We have not here alluded to the advantages that would be gained by the CZAR in postponing hostilities until the navigation of the Baltic would be shut up, and all manoeuvring in the Black Sea rendered difficult, if not impossible. In a word, he has everything to gain from procrastination, while all other parties in the transaction must be serious sufferers. We have surely urged suffi cient reasons to press for a speedy solution of the problem, to urge our diplomatists to activity, and induce them to think that whatever is to be done should be done quickly. Our remarks on the excellent Juvenile Mendi cancy Bill of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY have brought under our notice a case of the applica tion, substantially, of its leading principle, which we commend to the notice of the Poor Law Com missioners, who furnished the Lord Chancellor with objections, and also to the imitation of all hoards of guardians throughout the country. The guardians of the Tunstead. and Flapping Union, West Norfolk, principally owing to the persever ing exertions of their very intelligent chairman, JOHN POSTLE, Esq., have long acted on the plan of using application for parish relief as a means, when possible, of placing children likely to be morally ruined by home training, in the union school, and under the care of the matron, at their workhouse at Snaallburgh. When the able-bodied parents applied for relief, they offered to take the children in danger into the establishment, declin ing put-door allowance. Under the present law, widows left with families were, of course, the chief applicants for out-door relief, and girls, the class least able to support themselves by work in agri cultural districts. In repeated instances, the mo thers were seen , to be taking a course which could scarcely fail to destroy all sense of virtue iu their daughters, and to render them useless mem bers of society. These girls, placed in the school, and instructed by the matron in household work, •••••..11 ......,_ have gone forth to the best situations, where they A very general feMAing prevails in France, as have frequently obtained the good-conduct prizes well as in England, t hat the Eastern question will offered to servants by a local society.

It is to be called " the Boys' Refuge," and is intended for numerous homeless, idle wan derers from '7 to 15 years of age, who have scarcely a resource but vice and crime. It is to be a residence and industrial school for 30 boys at present, with considerable capability for el - am-gement. We do not know the powers of the Woods and Forests, but we think that, instead of charging one thousand guineas for land for such a purpose, they might gladly have given, it for such a truly national object, holding, of course, areversionary daimon it, should it cease to be used as the "Boys' Refuge." With the ragged schools already in existence, and work ing in places so satisfactorily, there are now, there fore, two voluntary institutions in action, and two more likely soon to be placed on a legal footing, all directed to the supremely important object of education, and industriously training the danger ous class of children. This is assuredly the grand educational desideratum. The other classes are sure now to educate themselves ; they need but one stimulus ; and it is to be hoped that Mr. GLADSTONE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL will give up their aversion to the people's acquisition of politi cal knowledge —that they will no longer place the artisan of England at a disadvantage with the mechanic and labourer of New York, but will soon permit every Englishman, in the bosom of his family, and far from the fatal ale-house, to read, at his leisure, his Untaxed Daily Paper. Few, indeed, in that case, will be found unable to read. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, Juix 19. The Queen and Prince and the Prince of Wales walked and drove in the grounds at Osborne yesterday. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Glocester, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklen burg Strelitz visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent yesterday at her residence, Clarence-house, St. James's. Prince Ernest of Leiningen arrived at Clarence-house, St. James's, yesterday, from the continent, on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. M. Musurus, the Turkish Minister, transacted busi ness yesterday at the Foreign-office. ion. J. Sandfield Macdonald, Speaker of the House of Assembly, Canada, had an interview with the Duke of Newcastle yesterday at the Colonial-office. A deputation consisting of Sir Thomas Le Breton, Bailiff of Jersey, Messrs. C. Le Quesne, D. De Quette ville, and F. Godfray, members of the States of Jersey and deputies on the subject of the Lighthouse at Guern sey, and Mr. G. E. Evans, secretary to the Bailiff o Jersey, had an interview with the Right Hon. E. Card well yesterday at the office of the Board of Trade. Sir Alexander Spearman had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday at his official residence in Downing-street. Major-General Sir Henry Pynn attended at the Foreign-office yesterday on Portuguese affairs. Dispatches for the Governors of Ceylon and Hong Kong were sent last evening from the Colonial-office. MARRIAGES IN RIGS LIFE. The marriage of the Lady Augusta Hare, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess Listowel, with Cap tain Granville Leveson Proby, second son of Admiral the Hon. Granville Leveson Proby, and nephew of the Earl of Carysfort, took place yesterday at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, in the presence of a distin guished circle of the friends of both noble families. _ . The bride arrived, with her noble mother, at a quarter to 12 o'clock. Her ladyship wore a handsome white lace dress, with a veil of the same materiel, and looked exceedingly beautiful. She was attended to the altar by a train of nine bridesmaids, all similarly attired. These young ladies were—the Ladies Emily, Sophia, Adela, and Eleanor Hare, sisters of the bride ; Miss Howard, Miss Baring, Miss Hamilton, and the Misses Proby (2), sisters of the bridegroom. The religious rite was impressively performed by the Hon. and Rev. Douglas Gordon. The bride was given away by her noble father. After the ceremony, the Countess of Listowel gave a breakfast at Kingston-house, at which all the parties present at the church assembled. During the dejetiner, the band of the 2d Life Guards attended, and played a variety of favourite music upon the lawn in the garden. Early in the afternoon, the bride and bridegroom left town for Holme Wood, one of the seats of the Proby family, in the county of Huntingdon. The members of the Marquis of Anglesey's family were prevented beinc , present at the ceremony, ow i ng t o the recent demise of Lady Anglesey. The nuptials of the Hon. Lavinia Stapleton, sister to Lord Beaumont, with Alexander Matheson, Esq., M.P. for Inverness, and brother of Sir James Matheson, were also celebrated yesterday in the church of St. George's, Hanover-square, in the presence of a distinguished circle of the nobility. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. Yesterday a Court was held, Deputy Peacock in the chair. Several applications were made of a personal cha racter, with reference to which order were made. The reports of the several inspectors were read and agreed to. An application made by the labourers in the City Stone-yard for an advance of wages of 6d. per day, in addition to the 15s. per week now received by them, was, after some discussion, rejected. The principal Clerk stated to the commissioners that he had received an official communication, to the effect that in the course of a few days all interments in the churchyard of St. Botolph, Aldersgate, would be, by authority, discontinued. 1 With reference to an alleged nuisance, caused by cer tain refuse deposited from time to time in a dung pit be longing to Mr. Sherman, of the Bull and Mouth, in Oxford Arms-passage, Newgate-market, it was ordered that the same should be cleansed at least twice a week, or discontinued altogether in the event of any neglect on the part of the proprietor. The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the Court to the conduct of the Chartered Gas Company, who, it appeared, had, in defiance of the surveyor's notice, taken up (for the purpose of inspecting certain joints be longing to their mains in Bishopsgate-street) a consider able portion of the pavement newly laid at great cost by the commissioners throughout the whole of that impor tant thoroughfare. _ _ Ordered, - on the motion of Deputy HoLT, that the parties be summoned to show cause why they had not conformed to the terms of the surveyor's notice. The medical officer's report and some other trivial matters having been disposed of, the Court adjourned. THE HEALTH OF HER MAJESTY.—The indisposition under which her Majesty was suffering when the Court left town on Saturday, is happily so far mitigated, that her Majesty was sufficiently recovered to take an airing with his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales in the grounds of Osborne on Monday. THE ROYAL FAMILY.—Since the arrival at Windsor of the Princesses Helena and Louisa, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold, the four youngest children of the Royal Family, who had not then had the measles, two of them have been attacked with the infection, the Princess Helena and Princess Louisa. The Princess Helena is now convalescent, and the Princess Louisa, who fell ill with the complaint on Sunday last, is going through it favourably. There are now only the two youngest of the Royal Family who have not had the complaint. The Royal children are under the charge of Lady Barrington and Miss Barrington. THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DERBY.—The young man (Mead), who dropped from the window, upwards of 60 feet, at the late destructive fire at Mr. Davenport's mill, died yesterday afternoon. Bennett is still lying in a very precarious state ; and Thorpe, the man who escaped by the ladder, is somewhat better. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The perfor mance of the Distin family, in conjunction with the ad mirable band of the establishment, is received with great enthusiasm nightly, and now that St. Swithin seems to have relaxed somewhat of his watery contributions, the gardens are nightly crowded with company, irresistably attracted by the liberal bill of fare provided, of which the "Feast of Lanterns" is still the chief item, and the execution of Arne's " Soldier tired of war's alarm" by the elder Distin, and the beautiful singing of Miss Cicely Nott may be reckoned as the side dishes. Although up to the present period nothing can have been more un propitious than the weather generally, we trust the pro prietors of open air amusements will yet realise the old saying that "a bad beginning makes a good ending." THE LATE FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE UNDER THE ADELPHI ARCHES.—Ye3terday, Mr. Bedford held an in quest in the hoard-room of Charing-cross Hospital, on the body of James Piggott, aged 57, late an iron-turner in the employ of Messrs. Pierce and Countz, coach builders, Long-acre, who died in that institution through loss oehemorrhage, from a frightful wound he had inflicted in his throat under the dark arches of the Adelphi, a notice of which occurrence appeared in Fri day's newspapers. The evidence went to show that the deceased, who resided with his son, a coach-smith, in the same employ as himself, at 43, Clarendon-street, Somers Town, had, since he [suffered from the typhus fever many years ago, been occasionally afflicted with fits of delirium, during which he had threatened his wife with violence, and to destroy himself. On Thursday morning, before leaving home for work at five o'clock, he com plained of his head being bad, and on reaching the shop, where his manner seemed very strange, he only re mained till t ai w isi enty minutes after six, when he suddenly left. About a quarter to ten o'clock he was found by John Peck, a messenger to the Ramonier Society, lying whereon his never he e rallied, wast a ihia l si : :: o do v tv e ledi rr h ieoe l dat e lt e , d bleeding profuselyinsensb from insensible.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton . at Liverpool yesterday were 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranham, and 1,000 Surat were taken for export, and 1,500 American on speculation. The market was very animated, and compared with Friday's rates prices of all kinds were extensive. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 1,000 Pernam and Maranham at 68d to Bd., 400 Bahia at 61d. to 6id. 100 Egyptian 'Td. to ls. ld., and 2000 Surat at did. to sd. per lb. In the Railway Share Market there was a considerable rise. The Indigo auctions are progressing with more animation, and the wool sales yesterday evening went briskly. From the Continent the news is generally of a better complexion this morning. In nearly every instance the writers of private letters state that they have been holding off from dealing with the desire of awaiting a solution of the Eastern question, while others add the weather as having a deterring influence. It is but reason able to conclude, therefore, that if both these causes happily cease, a very marked improvement would occur in the principal branches of industry. One department of trade has never flagged throughout the uncertainty felt, viz., that of Australia. It is scarcely possible to execute sufficiently fast the orders given out, and we apprehend that the stat emen t s t o w hi c h man y journals are giving such prominency, about hi g h prices, will lead to an excess of shipments. It is known that the number of vessels which have left is large, and that th e b areness o f t h e S y d ney very market up to the middle of Ap r il was t emporary . At the meeting of the Australian Agricultural Company, now in progress, the Chairman has stated, in allusion to the Peel River Company, that, t a king the shares at their par value, they had never been lower than the price at which the shareholders had them. A fact, almost unprecedented, was, that not one of the shareholders in the old company had refused the Peel River shares. The coal mine accounts were very satisfactory. The sales of coal during January and February, which are summer months in the colony, were double those of the corresponding period of last year, and the export demand was good: Notwithstanding the scarcity of labour, their wool clip, 650 bales, was very slightly below the average. The price of coal was 13s. 6d. per ton at the pit's mouth. To set the mind of the shareholders and public at rest as to what are the mineral resources of their property, the directors had obtained the services, for three years, of a celebrated German geologist, who had taken his passage in the Vimeira, and whose inves tigations and reports would doubtless give satisfac tion. The half-yearly meeting of the London and Westminster Bank Proprietors has been held this morning, and proved highly favourable. The fol lowing report was adopted : "The directors have the pleasure to report that the net profits of the last half-year, after making provision for all bad and doubtful debts, paying the income tax, and setting apart 2,0001. towards the new buildin g s in Lothbury and Bloomsbury, amount t o 54,525/.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Ayrshire and Gallo way (Smithstown and Dalmellington) Railway ; Cale donian Railway (Connecting Branch with Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway) ; and Furness Railway Bills were considered and agreed to. The Severn and Wye Railway and Canal Bill was read a third time and passed. The Pauncefort Duncombe's Estate Bill was read a second time. A number of petitions were presented by various hon. members in favour of the Recovery of Personal Liberty (Inspection of Nunneries) Bill. VACCINATION EXTENSION BILL. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the second reading of this bill, which had come down from the House of Lords, and the object of which he explained to be to protect the public against the ravages of the small-pox. The voluntary system had been found insufficient, and it had been found necessary to introduce a measure for compulsory vaccination. England and France were the only two countries in Europe where vaccination was not compulsory. CLITHEROE ELBCTION.-COMMITTAL OF A WITNESS. At this point, Mr. G. HAMILTON appeared at the bar, and re ported that as Chairman of the Clitheroe Committee, he had committed a witness named Robert Fowler to the custody of the Sergeant -at-Arms, for prevarication in giving his evidence before the committee. The debate was then resumed by Lord PALIVIERSTON, who said the house was greatly indebted to the right hon. gentleman for introducing this subject to the house. He thought the details and ma chinery of the bill might be improved in committee ; but on the understanding that the right hon. gentleman would give his attention to the subject, he should cor dially support the second readinc , of the bill. Mr. BRADY objected to the bill, as being impracti cable and inadequate to the purpose for which it was intended. He believed the voluntary system would not have failed had it not been for the introduction of the contract system which had set the medical professors against it. — Sir G. STRICKLAND objected to the principle of the bill. He objected to the compulsory clause, and he thought the house went too far in passing measures of a compulsory nature. He thought the voluntary principle in all things would, in the long run, always succeed best in this country. Mr. FREWEN also objected to the bill. The bill was then read a second time. ATTORNEYS' CERTIFICATE DUTY (No. 2.) BILL. 8 Lord R. GROSVENOR moved the second reading of the bill. He had postponed the second reading from time to time, and had he been pressed to bring it on at an earlier period he should probably have declined to do so ; but as the financial scheme of the A l Chancellor of the Exchequer had safely passed through the ordeal to which it had been very properly subjected, and as the returns of the quarter's revenue, lately published, showed a considerable surplus, he thought he was not taking an unjustifiable course in now pressing for the entire reduction of the tax. The pro position of the right hon. gentleman with regard to the tax had not been at all approved of by the attorneys and solicitors. He understood that the Government had been beating up for recruits in all directions, and it was said that they had succeeded in obtaining the support of the right hon. gentleman the member for Manchester and his friends, on the underst an di ng th a t th e Govern ment would take the newspaper taxes into their favour able consideration. If the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer would give an assurance that he would take the tax into his consideration next session, he should not press th e bill t o a secon d rea di ng. r Mr. MURROUGH denounced the bill as a political sham. He never had seen such a ridiculous manner of " advocating the cause of a class as the course adopted by the noble lord, and he thought that if the noble lord bad taken as straightforward and sincere a course as the right hon. gentleman the member for Manchester, the attornies would now be in as good a position as the newspaper proprietors were. Mr. HUME had always been opposed to the abolition I of the tax, but he did not think the hon. gentleman was advancing the interests of the attornies by imputing 1 . partial motives to any member of that house.

It appears that shortly after one of the keepers had retired to rest he was seized by five of the patients, some of whom held him by the throat, whilst the others knelt upon him, completely overpowering him and placing him in bodily fear. After making him secure, and preventing his access to the pull of the alarm bell, they went out of the ward and effected their escape, having first obtained possession of the necessary keys, some of which they placed in the outside of the locks belonging to the doors leading into the wards oc cupied by the other ke e pers, thus prevent i ng the possibility of their being opened from the inside. Two of them have since been apprehended. A LONG VOYAGE.--The ship, Royal Stuart, cha r tered by the Port of South ampton Emigration Company, left Southampton on Friday for Australia, filled with emigrants. She is the largest emigrant ship that has left the port, being about 1,400 tons burden. The Royal Stuart was built about two years since, and has only made one voyage from England, but that was a pretty long one. In October 1851, she left Plym ou th for S'd 3 - ney, with emigrants. From thence sh e went to Port Stephen, the most northernly settlement o n th e eastern coast of Australia, and took in a cargo o f wild horses for India. After passing through Torres Straits she called at the Dutch Island of Timor, and reached Madras in August, 1852. Here she was chartered by the Go vernment to proceed to Rangoon, and was towed across the Bay of Bengal, laden with soldiers, cavalry horses, camp followers, guns, and st ores. F rom Rangoon she proceeded to Calcutta, from whence she sailed for the Cape of Good Hope and England, arriving at The latter in April, 1f 4 53. From S y d ney to India she was manned partly by Otaheitian sailors. She is now partially manned by Lascars and Africans, 6 10 ACCIDENT TO THE STEAM-SHIP TAGUS. 20 SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

EXTRAORDINARY CArTURE.-A bull-dog belonging to a person named James Burnett, engaged as night watch man at the works and foundry near the South \Vales Railway-bridge at Chepstow, a few mornings back was attracted by an unusual motion in the river, near one of the slender pillars of the bridge. All at once he sud denly plunged into the water and seized the object which caused the commotion. A severe struggle ensued, which ended in the dog bringing his victim on shore, when his owner discovered it to be a ling fish, a species very eel-- dom seen in the Wye.
