THE LI VERPOOL STANDARD. 'l7-TE k)JJ4, _k• TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1855 STREET PREACHING. --41.--- ONE of the special characteristics of the Christian mission was stated, b 3 its Divine Fou — nder, 'to The, that the Gospel was preached to the poor; and, that she was the " Church of .the Poor," was once one of the chief glories of the Church of England. This character she earned by providing, through the bounty of her richer children, that in every parish in the land the Gospel machinery should be brought home to each man's door, and that its ministry to him should not depend on his ability to pay for it. That the sacred labourer is worthy of his hire, is certainly a Christian principle ; but' not that his labours should be placed on a level with secular employments, and the pecuniary support of the labourer calculated as a quid pro quo for the value of his services. It is impossible to travel through the parishes of England, without perceiving how strictly, •in theory, the Church has acted upon this principle ; it is impos sible to examine the lavish profuseness of her noble ecclesiastical foundations, without thankfully acknow ledging how well she has fulfilled her Lord's mission in this particular. The darker side of the picture, however, remains for us, and for days of " peculiar Gospel enlightenment." It is equally impossible to see the parish churches, in their present desolation, or to walk through the districts of our towns, without being compelled to admit that the Church of England no longer in fact possesses this high character . With regard to many of her finest parish churches, given to the poor by the pious liberality of our ances- tors, they have been taken from them, and placed at the disposal of the richer classes, by the erection of pews, guarded by doors and numbered as part of a rented property, belonging, for all uses, to the -person - rents them. In numberless cases, where the most liberal endowments have beep made for the frequent performance of divine ser vice, and the maintenance of a sufficient body of clergy, these endowments have been stolen for the benefit of a lay impropriator, and barely enough left for the support of a single minister, the assistance of one of our charitable societies being necessary to maintain a second. But these, we may say, were the crimes of an earlier generation. Let us ask, what we are doing to extend the blessings of the unpurchased Gospel through the unprovided districts of our towns ? Kai, whatever we have done, or whatever we are doing, this is confessed on all sides, that the Church has not yet regained her hold upon the poor. Churches are rising around us, but they are not built for the poor. Eloquent proclamations of the Gospel ring in our ears on all sides, but the rich purchase them for themselves. Each man pays for his religion as for any other luxury, or, if you will, necessity, of his life., A preacher is " liked ;" a Church is built for him that is, a permanent investment is made for his mainte nance ; his admirers appropriate its sittings, and they think their homage to religion has been paid. They rush in crowds to hang upon his accents, and think they must be very earnest followers of the Gospel. They listen, perhaps, to his denunciations of a corrupt religion, and flatter themselves that they are cham pions for the purity of Christianity. They feed, or, think they feed, from a plenteous table, and the pri vilege of the poor is, that, perchance, they may gather up some of the crumbs which fall from the entertain ment of their betters. It is clear that popular reli gion has not yet found out the way of carrying the Gospel in its integrity to the poor. " The poor will not come to Church!" Granted. But this is a strange complaint from you who do not build churches for the poor. This is a grave inconsis tency in your mouths who absolutely refuse to have churches built for the poor. This is but a vain lip lamentation from you who interfere with the inten tions of earnest men with your miserable disputes and factious accusations, while the poor perish around you, and who yourselves do not take up the work which you prevent others from doing, because you disagree with them on some point of doctrine or peculiarity of form. But we may yet find opportunity to expound our idea of the causes of this fact which stares us in the face, viz., that the Church has lost her hold upon the poor ; and also of the remedies which the case demands. At present we are pressed with one mode of remedy which has regained of late the prominence it had lost, and which has occupied much local attention during the last few days. We took occasion, some time since, to allude to the advisability, in the " present distress," of street preach ing, conducted with caution and judgment. And the philosophy, if we may so employ the term, of street preaching, we appirhend to be this : that it should be used only as a preparation to the direct agency of the Church. We must not have Christianity expounded at the corners of our streets and in the market place as a mere school of ethics, or system of doctrines which each man may adequately realise, and then be left to himself. Street preaching is a mere endeavour to startle into inquiry the careless and profligate, to argue from their experience of some mysterious power of evil which tyrannises over their inner man, and crushes every better aspiration to the need in which they stand of a deliverance, to the importance of the fact that a Deliverer has come upon earth, and that if they are willing they may be brought within the scope of that " Mighty power whereby He is able to subdue all things unto Himself." If the example of the Apostles be adduced for street preach ing, from the naked fact that they did preach in the highways and thoroughfares, it must be followed to s issue. With them Christianity was not merely the hearing and believing of certain doctrines, but the induction into a community ; and of those who ac cepted their teaching it was recorded that the LORD added them to the Church, and that they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers. v .,,aching, therefore, must not be adopted as a building churches, and setting up the substitute full machinery of the Gospel. It must be used as a mere check to the everyday course of blind wicked ness travelled by the besotted thousands who are perishing for lack of knowledge. It is not the remedy for their ills, but it is to inform them of their need of a remedy, and to induce them to turn aside from the way of their wickedness to the messenger whom CHRIST has commissioned on earth to lead their foot steps to the cross. It was with this idea that, in our previous remarks on the agency of street preaching, we recommended this mode of its employment, namely, that a district should be marked out and appropriated to a particular pastor with his assistants ; and that these clergy should undertake the public invitation of the people committed to their charge—that, having built up a living Church, a school-room or temporary building having been used in the meanwhile, a material temple of the Lord should rise in their midst; built for them, perhaps partially built by them, made theirs, that they m i g ht hereafter enjoy the blessings which they had learnt amid many difficulties to feel their want of and to appreciate. without, therefore, arguing it on the ground of ecclesiastical order, ---which, if there be such a thing as or de r , must be at once decisive against one pastor's preac hi n g in the parish of another without that other's consent, --- i t will be at once apparent what view we take of the scheme set on foot by the Rev. Dr. 111`1•Inux, of preaching on the Exchange Flags. If the object of street preaching be what we have supposed, that must be a very inadequate mode of conducting it, by which it is turned into a mere advertised attrac. tion for novelty-hunters and personal admirers. To select a respectable area in the middle of the counting houses, and business resorts of the merchants and middle classes, and invite those who may choose for some motive or other to come, is not carrying the Gospel to the hovels of the poor. This is not going 'out into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring ing in the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and blind ; it is not going. into_ the highwap and hedges, and compelling them to come in. Dr. 31`NEILE may say that, without wishing his plan to be followed in every respect, his intention is merely to make the Practice of open-air preaching respectable for his less known brethren. But is the example of so pleasant a mode of its performance likely to incite them to the endurance of its harsher and heavier inflictions ? Will they be induced ; by this display with a flourish of trumpets, and a flattering audience drawn from all parts of the town, to plod on in unknown paths, where no admiring eye can cheer, where notoriety cannot tickle vanity, and excitement carries with it no charm ? No. They will strive to escape the disa greeables of their duty ; and their work will fail through a disregard of that great law alike of morals and of religion, that no permanent good is ever done in this world but through self-denial and suffering. Really, if the Rev. Doctor wishes to set an effective example, he will in future confine himself to his own district ; and, giving him credit for the best intentions, we do not think it necessary to say more at present on the subject. FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING, TITB past has been a busy and a bustling week in all those places "where politicians most do congregate." The Clubs have exhibited an amount of commotion akin to that which apiarists inform us takes place in a bee-hive, when the ento mological republic, having become too hot to hold its members, is involved in the anarchy of a revolutionary movement which ends only with thedeath or extrusion of one of the contending h - oits. The House of Commons has been convulsed in all its points, the galleries and division lobbies sharing in the agita tion ; nay more, the Council Chamber itself has once more been the scene of those amiable contentions which some months ago were of such frequent occurrence ; and which were intimated to the outer world by the mysterious announce ment that " Ministers remained in close deliberation for up wards of three hours." A declaration which those pretending to be in the secret interpreted into a confession that Ministers have been in hot and violent altercation for the time specified, and that in most cases it conveyed to the Ministerial hangers-on intelligence of a similarly pleasing character to that communi cated to an anxious ship's crew, when, during the night, they are assailed by the sudden and alarming cry of "breakers a-head." Every one felt assured of an impending crisis, from the ominous Parliamentary conclusion of the preceding week, which was wound up by the melancholy display of -Lord Join . RUSSELL in his frequently enacted character of the Double-dealer. Consequent on the discreditable disclosures made by his Lordship in the House on the evening of Friday se'nnight, and which, besides the condemnation of friends and foes in that august assembly, drew down upon his devoted head the unmitigated indignation of the country, Sir E. B. LYTTON gave notice on Tuesday night of a motion to the effect, "That the conduct of the Minister charged with the negotiations at Vienna, and his continuance in office as a responsible adviser of the Crown, have shaken the confidence which the country should place in those to whom the adminis tration of public affairs is entrusted." The intimation of a motion-so pointedly in unison with popular feeling, yet withal so temperately expressed, and so extensively sympathised in by the House of Commons, as well as by their constituents, was the first thing which appears to have created alarm for the safety of their places in the ministerial mind. To gain time for a consideration of the defensible points of the position, was• the first object clutched at—to secure the uncertain support of waverers—and to enlist the Irish Brigade, or, as they delight to call themselves,the cohortof "fifty independent votes," was the next Move, and both of these "dodges" were played of with a skill and hardihood which could only have been ac- quired by extensive and frequent practice. The motion is to decide the important question whether the nation will tolerate the continuance in office of a minister who entertains, or at least professes a public and a private opinion, diametrically opposed to each other on so important a -point as the continu ance of war, or the conclusion of peace; and by implication whether his colleagues, who were cognizant of these discre pant views, and continued to act in concert with him, are not as bad and as untrustworthy as he is. Such a motion is a matter of no trivial moment. It broadly impugns the honour of one member, and touches nearly the reputation of all the cabinet ; and it is brought forward in no petulant spirit ; nor is it tabled by an, intriguer for place. A motion so pregnant with consequences is one which no ministry can lie under and retain any function of utility. So long as the accusations it implies are unrebutted, the moral influence of the Cabinet is annihilated ; and, under these circumstances, the course of action open to a man of spirit, or of a ministry which covetted power merely that it might serve the country, is to meet and if possible to disprove the accusations. To such a course of behaviour the PALMERSTON administration makes no pretence. Instead of offering facilities for bringing the question to im mediate issue, the PREMIER treats the subject with his cus tomary levity, and when asked if it would be convenient to take the discussion on this very important motion on Fri day, the day usually set apart for questions of supply, he an swered snappishly that Friday was set apart for discussing " The New Partnerships Bill" and the " Limited Liability Bill." Two topics peculiarly apposite to the ricketty condition of the Cabinet, without doubt, but still not of a sufficiently important nature to take preference of one which, by its moral influence, paralysed the whole functions of Government at a juncture of the national affairs when united counsels and com bined energies are indispensable to the safety of the State. The unbecoming facetiousness of the noble PREMIER MS so pointedly rebuked by Mr. DISRAELI, that for once Lord PAL MERSTON was checked " dead up," and with an assumed air of indifference he agreed to peril the existence of the Adminis tration on the issue of the motion this evening. In the mean time, however, all the manoeuvres of party tactics had been pressed into the service of the impeached Ministry. Conces— sions had been made to a deputation of the "Brass Band," by, which it was hoped to secure their aid in the event of a close contest. Other means also were not neglected, and rumours were industriously circulated by and among the Ministerial underlines to the effect that, like CURTIUS of old, Lord. Joan would plunge into the gulf which, unless propitiated by a sacrifice of that description, would assuredly swallow up the whole Cabinet. The magnanimity of the proposedsolf immolation was praised in his lordship's hearing, amidst strong expressions of regret for the necessity of the sacrifice. Still his lordship made no sign. Other hints were thrown out as to the necessity of providing a Cabinet JONAH, who by-being thrown overboard might still the raging waters which threatened to engulf the ministerial barque. But still Lord Rum gave small show of understanding ; and he who was so sensitively prompt with his resignation on a recent occasion, which merely threatened to unship his colleagues, cosid not be made to budge when another set of colleagues would by his „ c „e s „,ti on o bt a i n a ulauxcU of rescue from impending ship. wreck. More desperate expedients were resorted to, expedients of so disreputable a kind as hardly to meet with. belief. In reference to the position in which he was placed, the Daily News says ;—" He was ready to stand the- brunt of the threatened assault and to abide the consequences. Not so the. men by whom he had been surrounded. Seared at the sound' of the rising storm of popular indignation ) , and solicitous only for the retention of power—men who six weeks ago were ready to acquiesce without hesitation in the proposal of com promise with Russia suggested by Coant,Buox, have not been ashamed to join in forcing Lord JonN to tender his resignation to the head of the government. Through every rank and grade of the party, efforts have been made to further this design. The pride of the SECRETARY for the Cowsius having been stung into making the offer we have mentioned, resort was had to the respectable and high•spirited device of a round robin addressed to Lord PALMERSTON, urging him to accept the resignation. This document was actually hawked about the precincts and passages of the House of Commons during the sitting of the House, yesterday (Thursday), and while the two noble lords continued to occupy their usual seats, side by side, up= the - Treasury bench. We are unwilling to state how many names of men calling themselves Whigs are appended to it ; but, we believe, we may venture to say, that the rebukes which its authors encountered from the manly and independent members who refused to act a part fit only for sailors in a mutiny on shipboard, served to convince them that their clumsy device is one too shameless even for the present House of Commons." The reader who cons over the above, and reflects on some of the recent moves of Lord Joint himself, will be involuntarily impelled to put the Whig party in the position of SITYLOCK, and make it, in the language of that worthy, exclaim to his lordship, " The villany you teach me I will execute ; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction," Whether they made so plain a declaration or not,. they seem to have acted on the maxim. They do - not, - however, appear to have perilled their case entirely on those means of accomplishing their purpose, strong and disreputable as those means were. The Times says ` 1 The members of the government in the House of Commons not included in the Cabinet, represented by Mr. BouvEnn, are reported to have informed him (Lord JOHN RUSSELL) that they were not prepared to vote against Sir BuLvrEc. LYTTON'S motion." The Times adds, " This removed all doubt as to the result of the impending division." It left poor Lord Josn no alternative but to " adjust his mantle ere he fell," with the best grace he might ; and he resigned. The preceding delineations of Whig perfidy and meanness are drawn by " liberal" 'artists, and. froin'their knowledge of the men, and also of the Jacts referredio, the_picture, however humiliating and repulsive, is entitled to belief. Of late Lord.Jourr RUSSELL has become somewhat noto rious.for th,e nature, .the freedom, and the. peculiar fashion of his explanations. Another scene, it is to be hoped the last one' yet awaits him as an expository commentator on the sayings and doings of his quondam colleagues. The eloquent phil fipple he delivered on the occasion of dismissing Lord PAL . MERSTON from the Foreign Secretaryship, which that noble man held under his lordship, is too recent to have been for gotten, or to require repetition; he may, however, and in all probability will, indulge in a few supplementary strokes just to complete the portrait, and as it were bring it down to the present day. His able performances in the portraiture of the Earl of ABERDEEN and the Duke of NEWCASTLE will scarcely require either repetition or retouching to render them crack specimens of delineative, if not very friendly, art ; but, when he comes to fill in the portraits of Mr. BOUVERIE and that honourable gentleman's coadjutors, something racy, as well as spirited, may be reasonably anticipated. His tour de force, however, will, in all likelihood, be reserved for finishing the high-minded devisers of the "round robin," or which the radical scribe of the Daily News represents most unfairly as " fit only for sailors in a mutiny on shipboard." No human con stitution, however, is equal to the tasks in this line to which his lordship subjects himself, and even the amateur vigour of voluntary performances of the kind referred to have a debilitating effect on the performer; and to this condition of humanity Lord Jonx RUSSELL forms no exception. This fact was made painfully manifest on Friday evening, when he essayed an answer to a question put by Mr. DISRAELI, on the preceding night, when Lord Jou was not in the House. It had been currently reported during the day that the answer would be given, and at six o'clock, when the sitting commenced, every thing gave indication of an ex pected statement of importance. The body of the house was crowded by members; in the Peers' Gallery there was a con siderable gathering of peers, including the Earl of ALBE mARLE, Lord Wrifroan, and Lord CAMPBELL; and every eye was fixed on the spot occupied by the expected orator. After one disappointment, the audience were so far gratified by his Lordship addressing himself to the task in hand,—the expected explanation. The display was anything but a pleasing or exciting one. He was evidently out of spirits and out of humour. He spoke in a tone of voice indicative of ex treme dejection, and so low as to be scarcely audible. His speech, which was but a brief one, produced but little' effect, and was heard very imperfectly. He reiterated his statement that he considered the Austrian proposals might at the time have been accepted with advantage. The statement fell upon listless and incredulous ears; and when he came to the aver ment that he thought they could not now be adopted with propriety—and that consequently he was for a vigorous prosecution of the war, his declaration was received with contumelious laughter ; even his own friends of the old Whig party Smiling scornfully at the attempted double. That very pure tribe now affect to view what he thought and they ad mitted to be strokes of profound cunning, as childish indica tions of weakness and deceit which never imposed upon any one. They profess now to say that by his last false. move he has rudely destroyed all faith in his capacity as a states man ; and what is more, that he has destroyed all confidence in his sincerity and truthfulness as a man—that lie has corn. mitted political suicide. So complete a political and moral prostration has seldom fallen to the lot of any individual who held a prominent place in the national eye. In the meantime, the result of Sir E. B. LYTTON'S , motion is anxiously canvassed in the political circles of all parties. On the part of the Government out-and-out supporters-, it is said that, by a skilful application of his carefully-studied tac tics,—and now that he has got rid of Lord JOHN, as' a kind of " Old Man of the Sea," who rode upon and galled the neck of his administration,—LordPAlMEßSTON will defeat the mo tion by a considerable majority. On the other hand, they maintain that, if hard run on a division, or even if beaten, he will not resign, but have recourse to a dissolution,- appealing to- the country on his determination to prosecute the . war with' vigour and alacrity. Many individuals, however, and the parties who have probable means of knowing, declare that the whole Government must go with Lord Jour RE'S - - SELL ; that the country is heartily - sick of one and all of them, and will admit of no compromise in getting rid of them. A few,-who profess to know exactly how the matter rests; will have it that the Conservative party have the game entirely' in their own hands. These individuals maintain that an. influ ential deputation of the Conservative party left Lonibm im mediately on its being known that the PALMERSTON Cabinet had , resolved to eject Lord Jourr, and that that deputation proceeded directly to Knowsley, to consult with the Earl of DERBY; who received them most kindly and entered =into their views with alacrity. A prevalent statement among.the promulgators of the list-mentioned rumour is to the effect that a strong 'Conservative Government will be immediately formed, among the first of whose proceedings will be auappeal to the constituencies:- Whatever shall come out of' it, the Whigs- seem disposed to put their house in order, afar as they are able, and to provide apartments, if possible,. for the more-necessitous and clamorous of their friends. On Friday a report obtained confident circulation in Lincoln's-Inn ; . that Chief Justice JERVISi' of the Common-Pleas, will immediately resign his seat, and be succeeded by Sir A. COCICRVEN ? Lord PaLarzaSTON'S Attorney‘General. As on similar previous occasions, everything has giTen:pace, in the public mind, to a consideration of the government dead-lock. Even the war itself, out of which all the contre temps of recent occurrence have direetlyor indirectly sprang, has for the instant ceased to occupy the chief place in general attention. Still the morsels of intelligence which come fre quently, although in no instance fraught with mush informa tion, or made the bearers of very important results,. are never theless so far satisfactory that, while detailing no great or startling achievement, they are destitute of evil tidings, and are on the whole favourable to our ultimate suceesa. The attacking works of the English have been pushed, with suc cess, considerably nearer the Redan ;. one account- states that the cemetery so gallantly taken by our troops on.the 18th of last month, and so unaccountably resigned after having been held for fourteen hours, was re-occupied by our men on the following day, and still remais- in our possession. In the meantime, Prone various sources,information is received repre senting the state of the Russian army as very deplorable, and. their losses, in the way of transmitting reinforcements to the. Crimea, as gigantic and overwhelming. Our new commander. in-chief appears to be labouring on, undismayed by difficulties or opposition, both of which he appears to disregard. The health of our troops is represented as in all respects satisfac tory on the whole, and everything appears,to wear the air of approaching success. As regards the proceedings of General PELISSIEM i opinion seems divided in the Crimea and in Paris, as in some degree in this country. In most respects he is regarded , as a brilliant and dashing soldier who has no idea of fear, and . some say too little of consequences=--such a general, indeed, as, would lead a brave army through any amount of obstacles and opposition in the field, and as one in every respect equal to any emergency which can be aneeamifolly npposaci_by indomit.tia_will. and oveveonae by the moat uncompromising activity, and the most daring enter prise. While such is the prevalent opinion respecting his general merits and qualifications, military critics, and espe cially in France, where they are both numerous and accute, concur in representing him as impetuous and rash, and as a man not well fitted for the conduct of such an enterprise as the reduction of a fortress like Sebastopol. In confirmation of this theory, they point to numerous instances, in which they maintain that the successes he has achieved in the Crimea are not equal to the sacrifices at which they have been attained ; and, as an irrefragable evidence of the accuracy of these views, they point with melancholy significance to the sad tissue of blunders which commenced, accompanied, and concluded the desperate conflict of the 18th of June. One• of these gentlemen, in speaking on the subject of Paaissixn's qualifications, delivers himself as follows :—" The rapidity and decision of the French Generalissirao's movements are pro verbial. ' Take me that battery, though it cost twenty lives,' he says, and the troops rush to the exploit. The battery is not taken, but forty lives are sacrificed. Well, then, try it again at the expense of two hundred.' Four hundred fall ! Still the feat is not accomplished. Let the whole army go to it—we must have it at any cost.' " Although these strictures are, probably, over-severe, they are, unquestionably, so far countenanced by facts ; and men of calm judgment, as well as the most intrepid bravery, question sharply the tac tical wisdom which, commencing an attack with inadequate means, is compelled to repeat it with quadruple or octuple the forte. The failure, in the first place, they say, is attended with a totally useless expenditure of means, and a depressing waste ' of life ; and they maintain that even the ultimate success so achieved is diminished in value by the loss of prestige which attended the repulse. From the Baltic the intelligence received at the end of last week, though not very decisive, is on the whole more en couraging. The destruction of a town in Finland, on the sth instant, bears testimony to the active exertions of our fleet in these hyperborean regions ; and the receipt of a despatch from Admiral DIINDA.S, in which he communicates an account of a discussion with the Russian authorities relative to the privi leges of flags of truce, indicates still more strongly the desire of our enemies to depart as far as possible from the usages of civilized war. • While war and political changes have agitated the great world, it is pleasing to observe that these Matters have not entirely absorbed the general attention ; but that, on the con trary, elevated rank, breaking through the trammels of con ventional etiquette, and combining with humbler talent, has lent a grace to seasonable benevolence. During the past week private theatricals, for charitable objects, have occupied an in teresting position in the fashionable world. The drama,_ for the nonce, forsaking the play-house, has been naturalised in the mansions of the nobility ; and the sock and buskin have been adjuncts to the furnishings of the drawing-room. On Tuesday afternoon a private theatrical entertainment was given at Grosvenor House, the proceeds of which were devoted to help the suffering poor; and on the evening of the same day, a dramatic entertainment, attended with the most entire success, was given at Campden House, under the management of Mr. CusuLas DICKENS, for the benefit of the Consumption Hospital. On Friday, the gallery of Bridgewater House was kindly set apart by the Earl and Countess of ELLESMERE, for the performance of some dramatic entertainments, the pro ceeds to go in aid of the Hospital for Convalescents at Walton on-Thames, the funds of which institution have suffered severe dilapidation through the failure of &MAHAN, PAUL, and .Co. In each of the three instances the benevolent effort@ were crowned with gratifying success. The ordinary theatrical world is wagging pretty much as usual. At the Haymarket, Miss PAIICIT has made her first appearance before a London audience in Mr. THEODORE MARTIN'S charming translation of " King Ren6's Daughter," and has, as might have been ex pected, from the genuine beauty of the drama, and the parti cular excellence of the lady's acting in it, produced a great sensation. It is not a little singular that, although Miss FAIICIT has frequently enacted the chief character in this piece with distinguished success in the provinces, she should not, till the other night, have adventured it before the London critics. At the St. James Theatre, the celebrated tragedienne Itacnpr, is to appear in several of her leading characters in the plays of Les Horaces, Phedre, and Andromaque, commencing on the evening of this day fortnight. On the conclusion of her engagement, she will proceed to Liverpool, whence she is to embark for America. In the publishing world some little stir has been created by the appearance of "A Vindication of Major-General the Earl of LDCAN from Lord RAGLAN'S Reflections on his Conduct in the Action at Balaklava," which has been issued by HATCH ARD. In this version of the case some new points in favour of Lord LtrcA.N have been well put, indeed, clearly esta blished ; particularly as it appears Lord RAGLAN changed the arrangements previously made between Sir COLIN CAMPBELL and Lord LucAri, whereby the command of the cavalry was virtually taken out of his lordship's hands. I was glad to perceive you recently made honourable mention of the Law Book of the season, Blackstone's Commentaries by WARREN. By the profession it is looked on as of standard excellence, and both amateurs and professional - men will find it of inesti mable value at the period of a general election,. which most parties appear to consider imminent. An unusually large impression of it (3,000) for a law book, has been , thrown off; and the demand for it continues large and steady. I perceive the John Bull speaks very favourably of it. The Pori' LAu- BEA:TB and Mr. FESTIIS BAILEY both announce new poems in the press,- the of that by the latter to be entitled " The Mystic." It is described as being very magnificent in its imagety, and powerful in the postic style of its diction. Other minstrels of less sonorous lyre are also, it is understood, hatching•poetic broods, and, before thesere leaf of autumn , has been shed, it is probable we shall be favoured with a consider able lock of APOLLO'S` fledglings. THE REY, DR. 3P.NEILE, AFL► STREET PREACHING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Stn,—l want this after:lcon to hear the Re - .- Dr. M'lsTeile preach, as hebad announced' his intention of doing, on the area in front of the Exchange; and it occurred to me, on re: turning, that r would commit Tfew thoughts to paper, for the chance of your deeming them worthy of insertion in your journal. I think I may claim to be an impartial witness, inasmuch as the mooted point of street preaching was one freely discussed by the clergy of a town with which, I was 'connected before I came to Liverpool; and some of my brethren and myself had almost resolved upon trying the experiment before I - left. I- am not about, then, to.eater a wholesale protest against the practice, which seems-to be sanctioned, at least, if 'not recommended, in that part;of the parable of the "great - supper," in which the master of the house is represented as saying to his servant "Go out into the streets and lanes of the city, * * into the high ways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled; —and which certainly 111 a: claim i-cry hi g h precedent, as having been the constant habit of Christ and his Apostles., The questions which I wish- to solve are—Lst : How far was the place; occupied by the Rev. Doctor this day, adapted for carrying ,out the practice-F-2nd : To what proportion of Ids auditors was his address likely •to prove-edifying or profitable? . I own, knowing the strength of lungs and power of elocution undoubtedly possessed by the Preacher, Lwas not prepared for the difikulty, which, (in common with myself,) must have been experienced-by at least two-thirds of the congregated mass who were really anxious to hear what he had to, say. I gradually `mike:buy way from the outskirts of the-multitude, to within twenty yards,- or less, directly in front of , the platform on which, the- Rev. Doctor was-standing ; and even at that short distanced could only hear a few isolated words. at intervals in each sentence. The people- about me, after rain •efforts• to penetrate the dense phalanx which had acquired -a nearer position, were restlessly flitting about, cr hl very audible , murmurs expressing their - inability to bear thus rendering that inability still more complete, both to themselves mato their neighbours. Meanwhile, the confused sounds from. behind proved that vast numbers were on: the spot, on the most aharitabie hypothe6s, from mere curiosity, without any wish, even, to hear a message from God, through the voice of Ilia ambassador. The inferences which I drew were these.: The place is" •too large—the crowd, in numbers, is too unmanageable—and,., if the phy*eai powers of Dr. Nl'Neile are-unable to surmount these obstacles, no one else need attempt.to do so. Street preaching, if it is to do any good, must have a local aim. It must not endeavour to draw together masses from various parts of a large town, in a space calculated to accommodate a great multitude ; but it: must be practised in those particular streets, courts, or alleys, in which, without 'obstruction of public thoroughfares, the preacher may have full evereand over the audience which he has to • address, arrest their attention, and, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit reach their hearts. Public advertisements, ..I re.ature to' think, will not effect this. The street Preacher, I humbly submit, should, by personal visitation, make known, in the locality in which he means to preach, his intention of doing so; and should take all proper means :to prevent its being known generally. He may reasonably expect to receive a deferential attention from, those whom he has personally in vited; but, I cannot help thinking, where general publicity has been given, the number of idlers or curioas persons, who, will congregate together, will altogether thwart the good in, tentions of thepreacher, and result in evil rather than good. I say, result in,evil; for a crowd, in itself,unless under bene ficial control, iedisposed for mischief. Thievesand adulterers will, perhaps invariably, mingle with it ; and assuredly a crowd, the principal part of which cannot possibly come under the beneficial influence which is supposed to preside over it, will fail to derive any profit from its concentration, and will almost certainly give occasion for the commission of much sin. Hence, I say, if we are to have street preaching,, let us not aim at a popular demonstration. Let us remember that labour, diligence, and perseverance, are, ordinarily, as necessary to insure success in our profession—that of the Christian minis try—as in any other ;—that we are not to look for miraculous agencies in this age, but for a blessing in proportion to the self-denying exertions which we personally make to secure the end which we have in view ; and that, while preaching is a mighty engine for good to those who are really brought under its influence, this class will consist,—not of those who idly congregate from motives of curiosity, or worse motives still, — but of those, 'for the most part, who, either from education, habit,or personal contact with God's ministers, have been induced to become hearers of the Word. I inclose my card for your own information ; but I have a strong repugnance to controversy, and do not mean to enter into it. Should you insert this letter, and should it elicit a reply, I have no Intention of making a rejoinder. I would only say with St. Paul, " Christ is preached, and I therein do rejoice, yea and will rejoice."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sunday Night, July 15,1855. D.

BARTH.—Letters from Malta mention the arrival at the island of Mr. Giovanna Battista Galuiffi, Her Majesty's Consul at Mourzouk, up to the date of whose departure from Tripoli (in Barbary) on the 22d of June, Dr. Barth, hourly looked for, had not yet arrived from Bouillon, nor had any caravan come in from the interior by which tidings of him could have been con veyed. ARREST Or A RUSSIAN AGENT AT DOVER.—At Dover, on Thursday, James Abrahams, a Polish Jew, supposed to be a Rus sian agent, was brought up, charged with attempting to induce soldiers of the Foreign Legion to desert. Evidence was given by several of the soldiers and sub-officers, that he had proposed to them to desert, and that he would give them £4 a man, and find them employment in France. He said he had already settled with twenty. The prisoner, who pleaded for mercy, on account of his wife and family : was remanded, IRELAIVD. THERE is not a red coat idAthlone garrison, which has not occurred since the days of Cromwell. The garrison is now oc cupied by the Westmeath and Longford, both rifle Corps. MILITARY COLLEGE FOR IRELAND.-The Dublin Evening Mail gives currency to a report which appeared in an Irish provincial journal, that the_ Queen's College, Galway, being found nearly useless for the purposes it was originally designed for, is about to be converted into an institution of military education. CHIEF .JUSTICE LEFROY.-7A rumour has prevailed in Dublin for the last few days, to the effect that Chief Justice Lefroy is about to obtain a peerage, and to make way for the elevation of the Attorney-General to the Chief Justiceship. The Freeman's Journal throws some doubt upon the accuracy of the report. • " THE PRESBYTERIAN REPRESENTATION .SOCIETY."- An important political movement has been set on foot among the Irish Presbyterians, who took advantage of the recent General Assembly at Dublin to hold a meeting of ministers, elders, and laymen, for the purpose of forming an association, to be called The Presbyterian Representation Society," having for its object the election of members of the Presbyterian body as parliamentary representatives. FLOGGING Ix THE MILITIA..-It was stated by the Galway Express that a stripling soldier of the North Mayo Militia has been flogged at Castlebar for drunkenness. It is added, that the punishment was administered on a Sunday Who is the officer in command of the North Mayo Militia at Castlebar ? It behoves him to declare him Self, and to deny at once this latter statement, if lie can deny it; for, of course, it is' out of the nature of things, in the present day, for any man to con tinue to hold a commission in Her Majesty's service who may have been guilty of so flagrant and violent a profanation. It is, indeed, difficult to believe that any officer, however fire-new his dignity, could expect to brave public opinion by converting the day of sacred rest into a day of infamy and torture, after the well remembered explosion of popular indignation at a similar outrage, some few years ago, in the Seventh Light Dragoons.--Evening THE AUSTRIAN PROPOSAL THE diplomatic papers laid on Thursday everting on the table of the House of Commons, refer almost exclusively to the solution of the third point formally proposed by Austria (after Russia had rejected the solution proposed by the Allie 4, and consented to by Austria). Lord John Russell's letter to the Earl of Clarendon, recommending the Austrian proposal, is , of course, a leading feature of the correspondence. The letter in question is dated Vienna,. April 18th, and his Lordship says : Yesterday, atter the Conference, the Plenipotentiaries of France, Great Britain, and Turkey, met in Count Buol's apart ment. There had been an anxious feeling at the result of our former meeting. The position on both sides appeared to be uneasy, though much more on the side of Austria than on ours. The war would, indeed, in all probability continue to he a glorious struggle to England and to'France, and calculated to maintain the reputation of those two g re a t Powers. But the waste of life and money would be enormous. On the other hand, the - fact of Austria's declining to join , in the war would have roused a very angry feeling in France and in Great Britain. Withthe Western Powers alienated, Prussia triumph ing over her in Germany, and Russia bent on' her humiliation, hersituation would have been almost intolerable: These con siderations on both sides led to the prevalenceof a-conciliatory spirit in the meeting of yesterday. After much discussion ; his Lordship proceeds to'state, Count Buol proposed a general understanding, with the' terms of which the public areacquainted. Lord John Russell] having stated the propositions of Count Buol, says : I reserved my opinion for further consideration. Snell' was the general result .of this important meeting. M.- Dtottyn die Lhuys called upon me in the evening, and we drew up together a rough outline'of the proposals to be made. It will be seen, that supposing the proposition to be rejected as 'well as the first, the value ofthe third- depends on three things Guarantee by all the contracting Powers of the territory of Turkey. 2, A system of counterpoise Inithe Black Sea. 3. The limitation of the - Riissian force in the Black Sea to the number of ships maintained -before the war, under pain , of. war with the Allies. The ratite of this last article•consiits in the maintenance-of . .the alliance directed against Russia.. I renters it appears to me; that if aiis third system can be made an ultimatum by• Austria, it ought to be accepted by the Western Powers.. at, saying -this; I: may appear to contradict• my former opinions. But in fact I do• not retract these' opinions. The system or limitation I believe to be far better-than that of counterpoise.- But the question is between an imperfect security for Turkey and for Europe-, end the continuance of the war. Should the Government of her Majesty, in concert with that of France, be of opinion that such a peace can be accepted, they will instruct Lord Wcetmoreland accordingly. If not, I hope to be allowed to be heard personally before the final decision is made.- la the Earl of Ciarendon's despatchegto the Earl of West moreland, on this question, the absence - Of any practical in ducement, on Austria's part, for the Allen to , concur in the proposal, is dwelt upon.. Lord Clarendim - Bays : If we had brought our minds to despair 'of success in war, and were ready thereibre to make peace-en. any terms which will at once put an end to hostilities, then the proposal which Austria offers to make on our behalf to Russia would be in expedient, because it contains the principle of limitation to which Russia has already objected, and her objections to which she has r_ow publicly announced in her circular of May 10 ; and, if such were the hopeless state of our affairs, it would be necessary to make some proposal that Russia would be likely to accept,nstead of one which, in the opiaion. of Count Buol, Russia is almost ocrtain to rojoot. But if, on, the other hand, ;ve still think thefuture prospects of the war sufficiently favourable to entitle us to persevere in demanding:the conditions which we have put forward as afford ing a foundation for future security, then - the proposal of Austria is open to serious objections, becassec though it con tains the principle of a limitation of the naval foreesof Russia in the Black Sea, the principle is not applied in a manner that would be effectual for its purpose ; and it does not contain the principle of- consular appointments and supervision, which is the best security that the limit which may ba agreed upon might not be exceeded without the knowledge of the Sultan and his Allies-, DOUBTY - . - SUICIDE AT NEW A considerable sensation has been created in , New York, by a case of double suicide, in which the victims were discovered sitting locked in each other's arms in an open balcony, and quite dead. The Sunday Courier of New York, -in narrating the circumstances of the case, says :—" The female came to New York in -Oct., 1849, her age then being eighteen years. She took board in a respectable boarding-hsuse, among the oc cupants of which was a Mr% Merritt, whose husband keeps a shoe store in the Bowery, near Vauxhall Garden.. Her true name was Sarah Kirkland, and she then possessed so m.e money, and was regarded as a lady of irreproachable character. Her place of nativity is a little hamlet nine railes-from Liverpool, England, on. the Chester road. In an evil. hour she made the acquaintance of a youth about seventeen, residing in Brooklyn, but who , had the appearance of being mush older,an.d this ac quaintance ripened into a close intimacy. She was delivered of a maleehild, which lived only about twelve months, when the seducer abandoning her and removing to the West, she was compelled to receive • miscellaneous• company for her support. A portion. of this time she was afflicted with St... Vitus' dance,. and was under the treatment of Dr. Robinson, at the Emigrant's- Home, on Staten Island-. About two yews- since, she either made the ac quaintance of young Gustin, or, if he was -her seducer, he then returned, and a compact was made by them which unfortu nately exists too frequently hi large cities. He became her lover passed his leisure-time with her, and was supported by the wages of her shame. On the afternoon. previous to the commission of the fatal deed, according ! to the servant's state mentXustin came to his father's house, andaskal his mother ' how she would like him to bring home a wife with him that night ? ' The reply was .that he had better not. He then. returned to 130, Duane-street, and had a long interview with. thegirl. They seemed c h eer f u l, b u t ev id ently acting under mental excitement. At ten o'clock, pan., she dressed herself carefully, and, taking the key of the apartment, presented it to Mrs. Harrison, remarking that she-was going home, and had , come to take a final leave of her, adding that she wished, her landlady to take possession of her wardrobe and effects. The woman, supposing, her to be joking, paid little attention to the matter, and the tw a i n crossed that threshold for the last time.. They then, crossed the Fulton Ferry to Brooklyn, and rode up nearly to old Mr. Gustin's house. Here it is said, that they went together to the house and asked admittance. The reply was that he might„enter, but the girl could not. And then, appa rently, the resolve which had: been culminating became a fixed determination. They started down Myrtle-avenue,, and pre sently struck,into an obscure street. At half-past one o'cloek they were seen returning, he having in his hand.what probe bly was the bottle of prussic acid. It was not labelled. Then they must have entered, the yard gate, passed. through the beautiful:garden to the-rose-covered / piazza, and there, seating themselyes noiselessly on a lounge covered with black leather, they doubtlessly partook hastily of the fatal. drug, and then, locked, in each °thee% arms, their spirits went hand-in-hand to him who gave them." The parents of the young man hav ing sent his victim's body to the dead.house, the populace madea demonstration opposite their dwelling. THE STAR RETUBLIC BURNT AT SEA.,—The Star Republic, from New York to Galveston, was accidentally burnt when three days out. All hands saved. FIRE AT ST. PAUL'S, WALWORTII.—At an early hour on Friday morning a fire broke out at St. Paul's Church, Lori more-square, Carter-street, Walworth. The fire was not extinguished until considerable damage was done to the roof of the vestry. COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.--011 Friday morning, as the night mail train from Edinburgh was proceeding to London, at the rate of about forty miles an hour, on the Great Northern Railway, about a mile north of Don caster, it came into collision with a coal :train which was running in the same direction, and a frightful concussion ensued, although, providentially, only two or three persons were hurt. PRINCE DANILO AND HIS BRIDE.—The Agram Gazette contains a letter from Cattaro, which states that a disagree ment has arisen between Prince Danilo of Montenegro and his newly-married bride, of so serious a nature as to be likely to lead to a divorce. It is only three months since the mar riage took place. The lady, whose union with the young savage caused much surprise at the time, is the daughter of a merchant at Trieste. _ - . EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—A few days since, while one of the ordinary passenger trains was travelling from Bristol to Exeter, the guard, on returning to his box at one of the stations, found a parcel directed " E. Weller, Culmstock, to be left at the Cullompton Station till called for." On his way down a most offensive smell was emitted from it, and as he threw it out at the Cullompton Station, he remarked on the unpleasantness of its odour. In compliance with the directions, the bundle was placed in the office, but the smell became so bad that it was deposited in a horse-box, near the goods station. Here,towever, it became worse, and at last it was so bad that it was taken to the station master, and it was opened, when it was found to contain the body of a full-grown mail infant which was rapidly approaching a state of putre faction. An inquest was held upon it, and the guard stated that he was unable to give any explanation as to how the parcel came into his box. Under these circumstances., the jury returned an open verdict, FO.
