IT was stated on Friday,with a kind of semi-official authority, that, owing to the serious indisposition of Lord RAGLAN, whose iron constitution had at length given way to the combined effects of fatigue and climate, he was about to be recalled by his own request from his command in the Crimea, and to be replaced by General SIMPSON. The announcement was so positively made, and at the same time appeared so probable, that it was generally believed; but the same night the Ministers in both Houses of Parliament took especial pains to deny its accuracy, affirming that the indisposition of Lord RAGLAN was but temporary, and that there was reason to hope a few days only would restore him to his ordinary health, as the last accounts stated that he was considerably better. This was reassuring to those who viewed with some appre hension a change in the chief command of our army at this critical period of the war; but not many hours elapsed when the public were startled by an official announcement from Lord PANMUBE, the Minister of War, that, instead of being considerably better, the Commander-in-Chief was actually dead. It was so sudden, following so quickly after the other state ments, that it was scarcely credited, until the nature of the communication left no room for further doubt. Whatever may have been the error of the Ministers in imposing so arduous a duty upon a man so far ad vanced in life as Lord RAGLAN, and who had never before had the command of an army, there are few will dispute that he performed the task entrusted to him to the best of his ability. Any deficiency in energy, either mental or physical, was the necessary conse quence of age; and if some blame might be attached to his management of details, we must not overlook the faults of the system in which he had been trained, and the difficulty at his age of adapting long-taught ex perience to modern requirements. His knowledge of warfare was learned under the Great Master of the Art in a former age; and, after forty years' repose, it was a gallant devotion of himself to the call of his country, at a time of need, to leave the ease, which he had nobly earned, to undergo the fatigues and priva tions of a campaign in the Crimea. He is entitled to the grateful remembrance of his oountryraen.; _and • when the war with Russia and the siege of Sebastopol shall become matter of history with the ever memorable battles of Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman, the name of Lord RAGLAN will occupy a proininent position as the leader of the gallant English host which performed such prodigies of valour. His faults, which were in separable from his age, will be forgotten in the recol lection of his noble self-devotion; and it will not be the least in his praise, that a hero, who bled at Waterloo in 1815, endured a campaign in the Crimea in the winter of 1855. Let us hope that his successor will deserve as well of his country as Lord RAGLAN has done ; and that while the army may have the advantage of more physical energy, it will have as much self-denying patriotism. THE LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. THE Bills for extending the privilege of limited liability to certain Joint-Stock Companies, and also to those who advance capital for trading purposes in the position of sleeping partners, will, it is to be hoped, be pressed forward for decision during the present session, notwithstanding the late period at which they have been submitted for a second reading. The ur gency is not so much for the necessity of making the proposed alteration in the law, as it is for coming to a settlement on the subject ; inasmuch as many concerns are in a state of abeyance owing to the uncertainty which prevails. Much may, no douht, be said on both sides as to the propriety of disturbing the present unlimited extent of security by which a creditor com placently views his position ; but it will not be disputed that the Legislature should, as early as possible, come to a decision, in order that the springs of industry may be set free, and those who embark in commercial adventures may know the reality of their position. There is nothing at all novel in this question of limited liability, except in its application to particular cases— for it is repeatedly brought to bear in companies of all descriptions, the only difference being that, by the existing law, it must be conferred by a special Act of Parliament, or a Royal Charter of Incorporation. But since this question has been mooted, which dates from an early period of last year, the bestowal of the coveted privilege has been postponed until the fiat of the Le gislature on the general question has been given; and the formation of new companies, for any object what ever, has been in consequence delayed. The chief grounds upon which the Bills have received the support of the House of Commons—for the second reading was agreed to without a division —may be thus briefly stated. It is firmly believed by those who advocated the measure, that it would induce many to embark their capital in trade who are now deterred by the fear of unlimited liability, that it would remove from the Board of Trade a power which they ought not to possess, that it would encourage the employment of a much larger amount of capital than at present in the improvement of the country, and that, by proper restrictions, it would afford ample security to third parties by the publicity which would be given to the terms of the contract on which credit was extended. On the other hand, fears were expressed that it might have the effect of weakening, if not destroying that high commercial position which this country has so long enjoyed, by affording facilities for frauds and evasions. In discussing this question, Mr. HORSFALL said, that, while objecting to the abstract proposition of limited liability in partnerships, he approved of the general principle of the Bills, but thought it would be better to adopt that relating to Joint Stock Companies, and to leave the other, which concerned private partnerships, for further consideration next session. Mr. J. C. EWART supported both Bills, alleging that there was a strong feeling in Liverpool in their favour ; while Mr. W. BROWN opposed both as an unnecessary innovation upon a system of commercial law which had worked ,so long and so _well: Bills were last night committed pro forma, for the introduction of amendments, which, ' 4- is to be hoped, will remove the most objectionable provisions. THE ALLIANCE WITH AUSTRIA. AFTER the protracted endeavours which have been made almost since the commencement of the war to induce Austria, and with her the rest of Germany, to join the Western Powers of Europe in an alliance against Russia, the negotiations appear to have fallen through, and England and France are left to carry on the war for the liberties of Europe unaided, except by Turkey, which is the more directly interested, and the contingent supplied by the little state of Sardinia. It will be remembered that when Austria undertook to occupy with her troops the Danubian provinces, under the pretence of relieving Turkey and her Allies from the onerous duty, a suspicion was expressed whether Austria might not, in reality, be screening the retreating Russians from the vengeance of the victorious Turks, and enabling the CZAR to supply more reinforcements to the Crimea. The Allies, how ever, treated the professions of Austria with respect, and laboured indefatigably to bring about an active co-operation which, if successful, might have had an important influence on the progress of the war. In the treaty of the 2nd of December lapt, Austria entered into an apparently positive engagement that, in the event of Russia refusing to concede the four points which had been agreed upon as the basis of the nego tiations opened at Vienna, she would be prepared to take some active measures for bringing the war to a termination. This was construed to mean, in diplo matic language, a declaration of war against Russia and an active co-operation with the Western Powers, and in such belief the negotiations at Vienna were entered upon. They have signally failed, because Russia has refused to concede even the Austrian con struction of the third point ; and now, instead of re ceiving, as we had a right to anticipate, the promised affiance of Austria and the German States, all that is conceded is the maintenance of that neutrality which has been a hindrance to our operations, even more, perhaps, than active hostility. It is pleaded as an excuse for the conduct of Austria that she has great difficulties to contend with, her poverty preventing her from maintaining a sufficient army ; and that, as France has refused her assistance in men and England in money, she dare not provoke the hostility of so dangerous a neighbour as Russia, to which her frontier is more exposed since the occupa tion of Poland by the latter power. She consented to share in the partition, and now feels that the bargain is a dear one, the source of weakness instead of strength. This plea of inability may perhaps be a sufficient jus tification to Austria for thus holding aloof from a con test in the result of which she is so largely interested, but its ultimate consequence may be more disastrous than the present hostility of Russia, when the Allies come to settle the terms of future peace. Austria and the German States will have shut themselves out from a voice in the arrangements, as Prussia did in the recent conferences ; and since the occupation of Poland has been the means of depriving the Western Powers of Austrian co-operation, it may be an element in their future deliberations whether the revival of Poland as an independent kingdom may not be necessary as one of those material guarantees which the war was un dertaken to obtain. England and France have entered into the contest with an evident determination to achieve a triumphant result ; but, since Austria and the rest of Germany hold aloof from bearing any share of the burden, they can hardly be surprised if arrange ments should be made independent of any particular consideration of their interests. THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE IT must have been a strong desire for notoriety which prompted Major REED to move far a Bill to extend the elective franchise to payers of Incanie-tax. ' If he had seriously intended to press his crotchet, it would have been reasonable to have brought it forward at an early period of the session, instead of leaving it to the end of June ; but no doubt he felt convinced of its utter impracticability, and, therefore, delayed it until it could only serve the purpose of swelling the printing bill of the House of Commons, and enhancing the self-importance of the mover. There are several members of the House of Commons who have parti cular crotchets, which they adhere to under every discouragement with unwearied assiduity, because they may serve to keep them, as they fancy, in the public eye, and, perhaps, give them a certain degree of consequence in the eyes of their constituents. Mr. BERKELEY has the Ballot ; Sir WILLIAM CLAY, Church Rates ; and some other members similar impossible projects. Such questions give them an excuse for making a speech; and, if time were of no object in legis lation, the amusement would be comparatively harm less. The project of Major REED, for making the payment of Income-tax a qualification for the elective franchise, appears at first sight very plausible, because it is based on the assumption that taxation and repre sentation should go together. It is, however, a very erroneous view of the question, inasmuch as the taxa tion which the Constitution recognises implies settled residence, and the liability to perform certain duties. If the mere payment of taxation were to be admitted as a principle, it would be difficult to draw a line of distinction ; and so far from its being a test of intelli gence, the greatest consumer of brandy, or other heavily-taxed liquor, would be the best entitled to the franchise. The man who drinks half-a-pint of brandy a-day, contributes as much to the national revenue as he who pays the tax on £3OO a-year ; but it will hardly be contended that that fact would constitute him the most eligible elector : and yet, if the principle claimed be admitted, there is no good reason why his drinking propensities should not be made the foundation of his electoral rights---his claim being based on the certifi cate of the tavern-keeper who supplied him. If, however, we were to admit the claim put forth by Major REED for payers of income-tax to be enfran chised, its practical application would not be without difficulty. The principle of representation is founded not upon individual rights, but on those of communi ties distinguished as counties and boroughs,the amount and kind of qualification differing in each description. The inhabitant of Liverpool rated at £lO a-year is entitled to a voice in the election of two representa tives, but an inhabitant of Birkenhead may pay five times the amount in direct taxation and have no vote, simply because his residence is not within a privileged locality. The same discrepancy applies equally to the payment of income-tax. If the payer reside within the boundaries of a Parliamentary horough, he can obtain the franchise irrespective of his income-tax, and if he does not so reside he must be content as he is, for any alteration such as proposed would seriously interfere with the present system of representation. It may be said that the counties offer a medium through which such stray votes may enjoy the privi lege, but as they are especially for the representation of owners and occupiers of land, such an interference would not only be unjust, but fail of being any prac tical benefit to the parties proposed to be enfranchised. The scheme is evidently a mere crotchet of the pro poser, and only entitled to consideration from its apparent plausibility. OUR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. THE Board of Trade returns, which have just been published, showing the extent of our Export and Import trade, up to the end of May, may be viewed either favourably or otherwise, according to the par ticular bias with which they are considered. In monthscomparingab about ffour ri .tehrielhiodnyesee.laabrru,etdth:l,raeleuoaey%pofipfrieaienrxgspoatrhtfesalefloinorragtphaoeilfiovonef to tho month of May, the decrease is only £372,950, a decrease which is even less than might have been expected, when all the attendant circumstances are taken into consideration. This is further shown in taking the several items into account—for while woollen manufactures, metals, haberdashery, and hardwares, are the principal articles on which there is a falling off, cotton wholly and partly manufac tured and several other articles show an increase. The decrease may be attributed to the pause which has taken place in shipments to Australia ; but, on the other hand, it must be remembered that trade is in a more healthy state, being of a bond fide and less of a speculative character, and that without doubt the re turns will be far more remunerative to shippers than during the period with which the comparis - on is made. It was hardly to be expected but that the long pro tracted operations of the war and the absorption of shipping for the transport service would have some influence on the extent of our export trade ; but there is nothing in the facts as elicited by these returns which offers the slightest ground for despondency ; and as the decrease on the one month *so much less in proportion than on the five months, the most satis factory evidence is afforded of an improvement, a result which will, no doubt, be more progressive should the continuance of fine weather realise the hopes of an abundant harvest. Indeed, we have rea son for thankfulness, that, notwithstanding our being engaged in active warfare by sea and land with the next greatest State in Europe, our commerce has met so little interruption. With reference to the quantities imported and re tained for home consumption of articles for food, the differences are not very great. There is a falling-off in wheat and flour, which is easily accounted for ; there is also a decrease in sugar, owing to the large quantities taken in the preceding months, but, with these exceptions, there is little change to note. Tea, cocoa, wines, spirits, fruits, &c., show an increase ; coffee, rice, and tobacco, a slight decrease : so that, on the whole, the ability of consumption has expe;ienced no sensible diminution. In the comparative Imports of raw materials for manufactures, hemp and tallow show a considerable increase ; but other articles have diminished. These branches of trade are, however, influenced by extraneous circumstances, over which we have but little controul, and can, therefore, hardly be taken as a criterion of commercial prosperity. LIVERPOOL AND BIRKENHEAD DOCKS THE Bill for authorising the transfer of the Birken head Docks to the Corporation of Liverpool has passed safely through the second ordeal by which the Man chester party endeavoured to imperil it, by raising the question about the right of Parliament to interfere with the retention of the Liverpool Town Dues—an admission which the representatives of the Corpora tion were fully justified in refusing to concede. The Bill has now passed the House of Commons, and is before the House of Lords, where we have no doubt it will pass the requisite forms, without further obstruction. The success of this measure is owing, in a considerable degree, to the evident desire of the Committee of the House of Commons that the scheme should be proceeded with ; and, notwithstanding the strong inclination of the Liverpool Dock Trustees to forward their North Dock Extension scheme, we believe that the acquisition of the Birkenhead pro perty will prove not only a far more economical measure, but, at the same time, be much more advan . tageous to the trade of the port. The advantages are greater in every respect,—in water space, in quay room, in proximity to the centre of business, in facilities of access at almost any state of the tide or condition of the weather, and in ample accommodation for the timber trade or others requiring an extended area. In all these particulars Birkenhead Docks are far superior to anything that engineering skill could have constructed at Bootle, Nhile the actual cost will be less than half the amount, so that in every respect Liverpool has made the best bargain, and may soon [JuLy 3, 1855, p b r e es in en a t t p r o a s d it e io w n ith to fse carz y o an n d d d ou es b p le at t e h h e .
