A NEW and Beautiful Assortment just received for :be coming Season, Moderate in Price, and Good in Quality, WILLIAM ODELL'S 90, BOLD-STREET. EXPERIENCED WORKMEN KEPT. HOUSEHOLD COALS PUBLIC AFFAIRS. As far as incident is concerned, the world at large is as dull as it well can be, the event of the most importance being the visit of the KING of SARDINIA, who is about to pay his respects to the QUEEN of GREAT BRITAIN. The campaign in the East has been nearly brought to a conclusion by the retire ment of the several armies into winter quarters, and the return of the ships from the Baltic ; while the warfare of political parties in the Commons House of Parliament has not yet commenced. There are, how ever, signs of a coming struggle, and in some respects favourable to the final triumph of the good cause— the cause of Great Britain, her honour and fame—the cause which is hallowed by every association which can endear it to intelligence and patriotism, and the principles which must be in the ascendant before we can hope to secure the welfare and prosperity of the Empire. It is true that the Radical Admiral, Sir CHARLES NAPIER, has been returned for Southwark without opposition ; but, if he perform only half his professions, he will prove a thorn in the side of the Ministry : for, although his attacks are ostensibly levelled at the Coalition Admiralty Board, they apply with scarcely less force to the naval affairs, the second Baltic fleet h avin g p roved p e r to e on se sb n elq t a umde blame with r t e wl y c t i ph o rntohNo, the almost as inefficient as the first. The discussion , is equally a a l y ly t l d i n h to a v e e x e d r c e i s s e e n t ' h e d e v f a a l r ou b r e , t t s e k r il o l f , his andstbtheoe persisted t a l e ie eu Ministry, se r though, as is s ome ti mes c a o e u eu n s t e ry d : shouldth damagingca e i t , ha li d e he w p o u u discretion, for which he claims such large credit, and left Sir JAMES GRAHAM to justify his contrary orders. Nor can we appreciate or understand the conduct of the electors of Southwark, who return a member to Parliament to represent their opinions or principles, simply on the ground that he is an ill-used man. On the other hand, it is also true that a Conservative representative has been elected for the city of Wells against the nominee of the Government whipper-in, who represents the same constituency—a gratifying proof of the increase of Conservative principles, not withstanding the seemingly adverse majority in Parliament. But the strongest evidence of the rapid decay of Liberalism may be found in the Ministry itself, as exposed in the recent vacancies of office. Not very long since, places could not be found for all the aspirants to office, so that seats in the Cabinet were made sinecures, in order to maintain that family influence which governs the country when Whiggery is in the ascendant. For weeks two important appointments were vacant from sheer inability to find men of decent pretensions, who would peril their repu tation by helping to support a decaying Cabinet ; and, although they have at length been filled, the selec tions are in themselves the most palpable signs of weakness that could have been afforded. Mr. LABOUCHERE has been prevailed upon to accept the post of Colonial Secretary—a man of no other preten sions than that he is brother-in-law to the Duchess of SUTHERLAND ; while the difficulty of finding a Post master-General has been overcome by the Duke of ARGYLE, a son-in-law of the Duchess of SUTHERLAND, uniting the office with that of Lord Privy Seal. The PREMIER has chivalrously tried to fight the battle of 'his :party single-handed ; but, however self-confident in his individual prowess, he is unequal to the emer gency, so that there only remains for him to retire from the contest, or, by dissolving the Parliament, appeal .to the people on the intelligible question of prosecuting the war abroad until peace can be secured on honourable conditions, Whatever may be the course taken, it is clear that the PALMERSTON Administration is verging to its close ; and that, ere long, it will be necessary to decide on some course of action, or great national interests will be frittered away, to suit the arrange ments of Whig families, which have ever been the bane of the country. There cannot be the slightest doubt that the great majority of the intelligence, wealth, and influence of England—whether we take the county or the borough constituencies—is in favour of Conservative policy, and its exertions have been only rendered unavailing through the treachery of the Peelites, and the votes of the Romish Brigade. Another election would, however, make considerable alteration in this respect, and, in many instances, put the right men in the right places. The influence of Romanist priests must have considerably diminished, not only with reference to their numerical strength, but also to their power of interfering in election contests. In England, also, there are many betrayals of confidence for which retribution will be had, and seats gained upon false pretences which will no longer be available. But to derive full advantage from the opportunity, the Con servatives should be prepared with candidates for every vacancy, and make use of the interval, so that, whenever the dissolution shall occur, they may be ready at all points.

The arrivals for the Season have just been received, combining every variety, from the Plainest to the most Ornamental, and all at the most moderate prices, namely : Complete, with the best mechanism and all the latest improve ments, with Globe, Chimney, and Cottons, At 155., 188. 6d., 255., 285., to 125 each. Every description of LAMPS, FOR OIL AND CANDLES, FOR SHIP USE AND DOMESTIC PURPOSES. A large Stock of PURE COLZA OIL, IMPORTED DIRECT FROM THE CONTINENT, kept entirely for the nnmodation of F. L. H.'s customers, as pure, unadulterated Oil cannot be obtained in the English market. The Aureole Lamp having entirely superseded the Solar Lamp in England, F. L. H. offers his remaining Stock of SOLAR LAMPS to Exporters to the Colonies, Szc., where the coarser descriptions of Oil only can be obtained. The Lamps will be offered IN LOTS, FOR SHIPMENT, CONSIDERABLY BELOW THE ACTUAL COST, and all the Fittings which may he required, at Wholesale Cost Prices. F. L. H. takes the opportunity of stating, that those Persons who may hitherto have been deterred from visiting his Establish ment, by its great extent and the valuable Collection of Goods, are not aware that, by overcoming this impression (in reality a prejudice), the result would he most advantageous to them, as they would find that they could purchase Articles of a better qua lity, and at Lower Prices, than at any other Establishment. He considers it almost superfluous to add, that, whether they make purchases or otherwise, they will, in every case, be received with politeness and attention. F. L. HAUSBURG, OLD POSTOFFICE-BUILDINGS, LIVERPOOL. THE NOVEMBER CIRCULAR OF THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN TEA COMPANY. THE Company's SELECTIONS OF THE NEW SEASON'S TEA ARE NOW SELLING at Old Postoftice-place, Liverpool. The BEST CONGOUS arrived of this Crop are of the KAISOW kinds, which we directed public attention to last year. The MONINOS, or strong full-bodied Congons, AKE NOT SO FINE as previous imports. The Mont NO districts are now largely occupied by the Rebels, and this may account why the FINEST TEAS OF THE SEASON 1854 are now only finding their way through to the coast. We are happy to inform our Customers that WE HAVE SECURED SOME OF THESE. They are REMARKABLY FINE, finer than any we have hitherto sold. Congous are better adapted for consumption in Liverpool, on account of the HARDNESS of the water. But where sOFTER. water is attainable, we recommend our SOUCHONGs and OOLONGS, whose MELLOW and EXQUISITE flavour are not properly extracted by hard water. To give our Customers an opportunity of tasting the FINEST of the new Season's Congou, we shall sell it at 45. per lb. It does not pay us; but it is as much as it is worth. Our FINE OLD MONINGS AND KAISOWS we sell at the SAME PRICE, and they are IMMEASURABLY SUPERIOR. By order of the Company, JOHN L. SMITH. Old Postoffice-place, Church-street, November 14, 1855.

THE WAR WITH RUSSIA. As active operations, both by land and sea, are now almost brought to a close for,the present season, the interval before the commencement of another cam paign will, no doubt, be made use of in endeavouring to patch up terms of peace. Already there are ru mours of attempts at the renewal of negotiations through the intervention of the doubtfully-neutral States of Prussia and Austria ; and even in this coun try strenuous exertions are made to get up a party cry for peace, as though we had been the defeated in the encounter, and were anxious to obtain by diplo macy that which we were unable to achieve by force of arms. This is one of the great dangers arising from the present anomalous position of political parties, and the little confidence which can be placed in the ability or discretion of the PALMERSTON Administra tion. The war necessarily involves great additional expense, and, unequal to the emergency, the financial measures of the present Government are likely to enhance the difficulty, and lead to monetary embar rassments which, under abler management, might be avoided. Such a course will strengthen the Peace party, and render more imminent the concession of conditions which will neither prove for, the advantage of the country nor the future tranquillity of Europe. To consent to terms which would place Russia in the same relative position which she occupied at the com mencement of the war, would be a reckless sacrifice of all the vast expenditure in human lives and treasure which has already been made, throw up all the advan tage which was hoped to have been gained from the alliance with France, and virtually to submit to the humiliating taunt of having undertaken a duty which we had not the courage to perform. There has been too much of this craven spirit evi dent from the commencement. When the forts of Odessa were bombarded, the work was left half done, as though we feared to provoke too much the anger of Russia ; and throughout the first campaign there was more show than reality of hostility, as though we were waiting for propositions of peace, and refrained from embittering the quarrel. Our rulers were slow to believe that Russia had an object which was to be gained at any hazard, and that it was our duty as well as interest to render its achievement impossible. It cannot be too prominently kept in view, that while the war should have a definite object, the attainment of which, whether gained by negotiations or hard blows, should be accomplished, no idea of peace should be entertained until that object be arrived at, and for this purpose every exertion should be used. No doubt can remain as to the intentions of the late CZAR, after the publication of the conferences with Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR; and though his immediate intentions, as then divulged, had reference only to the Empire of Turkey, the whole tenor of Russian policy shows the ultimate aim to be universal dominion, which it is not only the interest of England but of every state in Europe to prevent by every possible means. The war was, therefore, undertaken in order to impose an effec tual restraint on Russian ambition, and, unless this end be attained, it is idle to talk about peace, because we may feel the pressure in higher prices and in creased taxation. Too much stress has been laid upon the vast resources of Russia, as though the means of con quest were to be judged by the extent of terri tory. We have heard so much of the hordes of Cossacks, and the enormous northern armies which proved so formidable when Poland was subdued, that it is true we took a more sober view of the dangers to be encountered. NAPOLEON, notwithstanding his great military resources, and the prestige of his name, found himself worsted in an encounter with Russia, but the circumstances are widely different. He ventured his vast army over the enormous co d m es b e a r o t tf s , r which have been the great feature of Russian strength, and was defeated more by the elements t han b y military strength or strategy. But, fortunately for wastes, e and, movement of lwutwors byeihaveps sa selecting no anddt rm hardshipsucompelled disasters,ni t the ons cr oh i fih m enal NveN enemy aenl rNae, overn had involved in t the sterile t tehurtheatreconsiderably nledgo all the e the ad vantage. The protracted siege of Sebastopol has proved a far more deadly blow to Russian ambition than could have been effected by any other means, and we have but to follow up the advantage until the defeated party shall sue for peace. The defence of the Crimea must have been a tremendous drain upon the resources of Russia, not only in the material of war, but also in men. We have abundant proof of this in the repeated levies which have been made to recruit her armies ; and it is now said that the last proposition of the EMPEROR is to make a levy of the whole population, as though he were determined to sacrifice the last man in order to carry out the frantic scheme which is called Russian policy. But there is a limit even to the despotism of a Russian autocrat, and rumours are already rife of counter-agitations, in order to save what remains from annihilation. The nobles are bitter sufferers from the depopulation of their estates ; the land has been drained of the means of rendering it productive ; the losses in the Crimea must have made most fearful havoc amongst the people capable of bearing arms ; so that another campaign must humble autocratic pride, from sheer inability to find soldiers to maintain it. The Allies are still in the plenitude of their strength, with nothing to dread but the want of determination to persevere; and even the possession of the Crimea, with that footing in Asia which OMA.R PASHA seems determined to win for himself, will give them an immense advantage, which ought to have its full weight in any decision as to terms of arrangement. The peace party in this country make a great point of the expense which is being incurred, and even dare to insinuate that our commerce is suffering from a prolongation of the contest. The first position may be true, but not to the extent they wish to make it appear. The resources of England are amply sufficient to meet all that has been expended, and even to double it, without any serious inconvenience ; but if the pressure were even greater than it is, the check to Russian ambition, which it is hoped will be made effectual, is worth all the sacrifice. But the allegation of injury to commerce is positively untrue. If we have - lost our export trade to Russia, which never was of any great importance, we have gained far more [NOVEMBER 27, 1855. the increase of exports to Turkey and other P and as for Russian produce, which is no ic o indirectly through Russia, there is nothing sable substitutes cannot be found elsewhere. Russia Poland out of the map of Europe, and the opet°rii is now afforded for the Allied Po wers to some extent, the compliment.

As a test of the 'but,' supply, therefore, they are utterly v aluele ss l :o 11 ; the same time, we are inclined to agr ee +.
