Afternoon, 10h. 47m. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 18 THE telegraphic intelligence received from the East yesterday is highly important. If true it proves two great facts. First, that secret diplo macy has led to a most ,sanguinary conflict : and secondly, that if the Turks were beaten at all, they fought with sufficient gallantry to win for them the warmest sympathy and admiration of every free and justice loving people. In the re ported defeat of the Turks at Sinope, it is said that the Ottomans lost thirteen ships, while the Turkish version of the affair received yesterday informs us that the Russians lost two ships of the line, three frigates, and two steam boats. The dispatch also states the latter force con sisted of twelve frigates, a brig, five steam-boats, and six ships of the line. Successfully to resist such an overwhelming force as this, was impossi ble; but the fact of a Turkish convoy having engaged so formidable an armament, and having destroyed no less than seven'ships is an event in naval warfare that will not be readily forgotten. But Europe is not seeking bloody exploits, or military renown. Civilisation invokes peace and good-will among all nations. Rational liberty will not hear of the triumphant march of des potism. If the Turks were no better than the rab ble of Amoy, or Canton, England should blush at suffering an attempt to be made to exterminate them without mercy. In all cases such as the present every court and every cabinet has its views and feelings. NICHOLAS is personally known to every one in St. James's, from the Prince down to the green grocer. Long visits and short accounts are kingly qualities which command considerable popularity in these days, and by these means the Royal Family of Russia have won the golden opinions of the soft-headed people of the West End. To outrage the susceptibilities of the CZAR would be to do dishonour to British hospitality ! Nothing short of such quirks and quibbles could have sanctioned for one moment the invasion of the Turkish territory by so dangerous an enemy to civil and religious liberty as the AUTOCRAT of Rus sia. From the first moment his troops crossed the Pruth the full scope of his designs were made known to the cabinet and people of this country, and those who do not resist cruelty and injustice stand charged with the full guilt of its commission, and when we think of the fearful carnage that Sinope must have witnessed in a naval conflict in which twenty ships are said to have been destroyed, we do not envy those their reflections who might have saved humanity from such an amount of death and bloodshed. The Turks, in resisting the inroads of the CZAR upon their soil, are doing no more than we should do under similar circumstances, and the European cabinet that does not recognise this right and sustain it, tacitly admit the right of agres sive invasion, against which we have been ex pending millions in the way of " military de fences." At one period our suspicions as to the part England was prepared to take in this most nefarious war, gave place to a belief that Rus sia would be given to understand, in the most dis tinct terms, that if she openly violated the laws of humanity, and wantonly shed the blood of an un offending people, that she would be prostrated, and her sceptre wrenched from the grasp of a vile despot, the principle of whose existence depends on the accomplishment of the most savage deeds of blood. England at one time could boast of statesmen who were capable of giving expression to such sen timents, and who were equal to the accomplishment of so grand a design in any case where the cir cumstances favoured the furtherance of the profes sions of their lives, as well as those of their constituents. But now the most successful poli tician is the man who professes, while he defeats, the popular views and feelings of this country. Long experience in the working of this system has produced much apathy and disgust in the pub lic mind of Great Britain; but we have never read history rightly, if we have not discovered that pas siveness produced by such questionable means, has. been met by a reaction which swept away the cloud which darkened the path of the liberal cause, and left all moderation exposed to the most violent popular indignation. The very nature of the Turco-Russian war has enlisted the moral feeling of all classes in favour of the unoffending Turks ; while the political character and consequences of the contest are viewed by all interests as one which presents a golden opportunity for the rulers of Europe, to show the world that a war of aggression shall henceforth be impossible. But instead of doing this with a bold hand and open heart, we have a volume of secret notes flying from court to court— telegraphs publishing unintelligible reports—se cret dispatches, disclosing just enough to give the public a relish for the forthcoming falsehood — secret diplomacy measuring silence by the Scotch acre—while Lord ABERDEEN is winking at the Muscovy ducks in St. James's park. But what order of administration of public affairs is this ? Is it government at all, that leaves the most vital interests of the Empire exposed to all the losses and dangers of a long protracted season of doubt ? In Paris, the public excitement produced by the reported defeat of the Turkish naval force, is fast approaching a climax. We have already warned our readers of the dangers to be apprehended from such a defeat ; and we again repeat that Europe is not in a temper to be trifled with by mere ambitious Autocrats. France cannot wait for a long string of accidents to decide her course. The first must, in all probability be seized as a safeguard against the consequences of a second shock ; and once France takes the field, Europe may be said to be in a blaze ; when England's consolation will be—she had an imbe cile old gentleman for a minister, and enjoyed a degree of passiveness equal to her destruction The London organ of the Foreign-office gives us the following information, which we think suffi cient in itself to show what we may expect for the unhappy Turks at the hands of their savage invaders. " The Emperor of Russia does not " demand more now than he did three months ago, " but he will take nothing less ; . and by the " arrangement that has been come to with Austria, " all idea of assisting the Turks in annulling the " treaties with Russia, which existed before the " present war, is abandoned. The Turks will, therefore, have gained nothing by their resist " ante—they will have impoverished their finances, " have lost a portion of their navy, have sacrificed " lives for conquests in Asia, which they must " surrender, and the Emperor of Russia will be very " magnanimous if he does not, under the influence of a the protecting Powers, compel them to pay largely " for the inconvenience to which he has been put by their obstinacy." London is the home of political toadies ; and the Metropolis is the hot-bed of political double dealing. Let the North be the anti. dote to their iniquity and the real friend of the sufferer in this case. SOCIETY is beginning to take new views of its social relations and responsibilities. Even the poor outcast who has fallen a victim to man's lust and deceit, is regarded more favourably than here tofore. That horrible conventional law which banished the fallen female from the pale of human sympathy, has somewhat relaxed, and men begin to look less disdainfully than they have been wont upon the unfortunate objects of their own wicked ness and putidity. Prostitution is the great curse of our country. No vigorous attempt has yet been made to remedy it. A false and foolish delicacy has hitherto kept philanthropists and political economists from investigating its cause thoroughly. Parliament has done little or nothing in the matter, and the result is .what should be expected under such circumstances—the extensive spread of an evil, the consequences of which it would be impos sible to describe. True, a few isolated Magdalene Asylums .have been established in London, and other places, but such has been their internal government, that fallen girls who may contemplate a return to virtue, would, for the most part, prefer entering the felon's gaol ! A severe and gloomy system of discipline—shaving or cutting the hair closely—darkening the windows—and low, very low, diet—besides perpetual incarceration—are not the very best encouragements for virtuous resolu tion ; to say nothing of the natural and injurious reaction which such a sudden course 'of life must invariably produce. No girls of any education or gentility would enter such domiciles at any sacrifice; and even the lowest class of prostitutes, for whom they are better adapied, must find them, Heaven knows ! insupportable enough. A movement has taken place in connection with one branch of the Church of England, which is likely to be productive of great benefit, and which has our warmest sympathy. A meeting of the friends of the House of Mercy, for Clewer, was held last week, at the lodge of the Provost of Eton, at which the PROVOST, the Bishop of OXFORD, the Bishop of GRAHAMSTOWN, the Hon. and Rev. B. LIDDELL, the Hon. and Rev. C. A. HARRIS, and other eminent clergymen and gentlemen, took an active and earnest part. This Institution, it appears, was suggested by the Church Penitentiary Society— which includes in its committee of management twelve bishops. From the statements made on that occasion, it would appear that the Institution at Clewer is in a most prosperous condition; and that five branch establishments are in contempla tion—two of which are already in existence—viz. at Wantage, Norwich, Leeds, Dover, and ' Som erset. The objects of these Houses of Mercy are two fold. First, to furnish asylums for such pious ladies as might desire to live in sisterhood seques tered from the world, in order to devote themselves to works of charity and usefulness. Secondly, to afford shelter and succour to penitent females, who have wandered from the path of rectitude ; as, according to the Bishop of OXFORD, " pure-minded women are not contaminated by intercourse with the fallen !"—a noble discovery, which should long since have been made. Hear this, oye virtuous wives and daughters of England ! and endeavour to act upon its beautiful suggestions. The institu tion at Clewer is to be enlarged, and accommodation afforded for eighty inmates. Besides, a general classification of the penitents is to be adopted for the more perfect and easy accomplishment of their complete redemption. The public mind has never once thought of turning its investigations to this quarter; although it is productive of much greater evils to our social system than any other influence whatever. Clergy men have refrained from breathing a syllable on the matter, lest, forsooth ! the minds of their respective flocks should be demoralised thereby. Philanthropy has never yet sought the right way to reclaim those yielding victims of man's depravity —" more sinned against than sinning "—whilst haughty Phariseism, with contemptuous sneer, has turned up its nose, rolled its goggle eyes, and passed by on the other side—thanking Goy, the while, that it was holier than others ! The perfect indifference which has prevailed on the subject of female prostitution, even in the highest quarters, may be gathered from the sentiments that lately fell from the PROVOST of Eton and his clerical brothers. The former observed, that since he turned his attention to the subject,—about four years since,—new and obvious truths forced themselves upon his attention ; and he confessed that " these Vnfortunate women should not be regarded with disgust !" and "that there were men who look down with contempt on the victims of their own wickedness." Another observes: " that women are misled through abuse of the very feeling by which their restoration is to be worked." And the Bishop of OXFORD has been led to believe, that " woman falls more frequently through weakness of character than obstinate purpose." There remains much more to be learnt on this subject than those digni taries imagine. However, they are improving and increasing their knowledge; and we accept their present confessions as an instalment out of what is yet to come. Society has been supine and cri minally indifferent to the most vital of questions— one, in fine, which involves the social happiness and physical condition of the commonwealth; and that neglect has brought its own peculiar and merited chastisement. We need not visit our Lock Hospitals to see with what tenacity and se verity violated nature acts as her own NEMESIS. Everywhere are perceptible the fruits of this tree of Death ! Has it ever struck the Governors of Magdalene Asylums that it would be much .better to stop the supply of fallen women, than to set about reclaim ing the lost? Would it not be better to erect establishments for destitute or friendless young women, of whom there are thousands in London, and other large towns, and thereby prevent the increase of female delinquency, than to clumsily set about reforming those upon whom society has perpetrated its horrible work ? EDWARD GIBBON WAKEFIELD most pathetically tells of a girl sitting despairing and forlorn before the gates of an insti tution at which in hopeless sorrow and helpless poverty she had applied for shelter. She would not, however, be admitted. The answer she received was that she was not quald ! And this a Magdalene Asylum. 'Positively ! In Liverpool prostitution abounds to an alarm ing extent. The most disgraceful scenes are perpetrated in the open streets, and no police are by to prevent such outrages upon public decency. Early in .the evening, women of the most degraded class, perambulate the docks, and prowl at the corner of James's-street, without either shawl or bonnet, inclement though' 'the season be. Whilst a walk through Whitechapel— if it can be safely accomplished—would be enough to convince the most sceptical, of the fearful extent to which drunkenness, debaueheiy, and profanity are carried in this town. ' Tis fully time that some energetic measures should be adopted— if not to remedy these evils, at least to preserve the semblance of morality—by attention to exter nal decency What are the Clergy doing? Surely, here is a missionary field, large enough for their exertions ! We admit it is much easier, and more respectable, to inculcate moral precepts to a well dressed and attentive . congregation, in a beautiful church and from a cushioned pulpit, than to, go into the highways and seek the " lost sheep, " in order to reclaim them. But, why should they do the one, and leave the other undone ? That is for themselves to answer.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Monday last, at two o'clock, the foundation stone of a new• Roman Catholic cathedral was laid at Shrewsbury, by the Right Rev. Dr. Brown, assisted by about 30 clergymen, amongst whom were several canons of the Roman church. There was a respectable a ssemby of persons collected to witness the ceremony, which in the Roman Catholic church and according to their ritual, is one of great solemnity. The ground chosen for the site of this church, is situate at the north side of the town, and overlooks the Severn. The situation is handsome. The present Earl of Shrewsbury, who only attained his majority on Sunday last, has given the handsome sum of £15,000 for the erection of the edifice. It was at first contemplated by the young nobleman to be present at the laying of the " corner stone," on the anniversary of his birthday, but from unavoidable causes his lordship was unable to be present. The church was designed by the late Mr. Pugin, and the architect is the son of that gentleman. The length of the building will be 153 feet in the clear, and 134 interiorly, over 50 feet in breadth and about 68 feet high. It will con sist of nave,nisles and chancels, with side tower and baptistry. It willbe ahandsome edifice in the full decorated style, or what is known as "middle pointed." It must be very ornamental to the town. At the hour appointed for the ceremony, a procession of the bishop and priests, preceded by torches and a large cross, arrived at the place where the stone was to be deposited. The ceremony then commenced by prayers, at a certain portion of which the bishop blessed the stone and crossed it with a silver trowel. He then proceeded to address the assembly, quoting the description given in the Old Testament of the laying of the foundation stone of the temple after the restoration of the Jews : "And when the masons had laid the foundation stone of the temple, the priests and LeviteF,and the people who were assembled together, shouted with a great shout, and gave thanks to the Lord of Hosts, who had enabled them to rebuild the temple, for his mercy endureth for ever." On this he founded his observations to the people, showing how solemnly the church had always regarded the ceremony of blessing the first stone of a house designed for the worship of God. He concluded an interesting discourse by invoking all to join with him in beseeching God to bless the work. The church is to be dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The bishop then proceeded with the ceremony, the remainder of which consists in the procession round the site, taking possession of it in the name of the Lord, whilst prayers. are chaunted. On the return of the procession to the spot where the stone was to be set, the litany was sung, and the remaining prayers having been said, the stone was deposited in its place, the mortar being placed on with the same silver trowel as was before used in the crossing. The " blessing" followed, and the procession reformed and re tired, singing the Te Deuna. The only inscription on the stone is " 1853," with four crosses, one on each corner. At f)ur o'clock about 60 persons, amongst whom were the Roman Catholic priests and some ladies, sat down to an ele gant-entertainment, which was laid out in the best style, at the "ZV hite Lion" Hotel. The Right 'Rev. Dr. Browne occupied the chair, and the Rev. Mr. Tobyn, the Roman Catholic clergyman of the town, was in the vice -chair, Sir Edward Smyth, Bart., and his family were present, and several clergy, and other Roman Catholic gentlemen from Liverpool, also attended. When the cloth was removed, the bishop rose to propose the health of the Earl of Shrewsbury. He said he did not like speech-making on an occasion like the present, but he could not let an opportunity of a solemn yet a joyous nature pass, without saying a few words in re ference to the party who had been the cause of their assembling so happily as they had that day. (Hear, hear.) The name he was about to mention was an illustrious one, and if he did nothing more than mention it, he was sure it would be received with affectionate enthusiasm. (cheers) That name was ancient and illustrious in the senate, illus trious in the country, illustrious and chivalrous in the battle, where it ever was victorious. (Loud applanse) Glorious, illustrious and victorious as that name had ever been, there was one thing which added still a greater lustre to it than all the achievements in the senate or on the well-fought battle ground, and that was, through ages of persecution, the name had never fallen away from the Catholic faith, and the church of God. (Loud and prolonged applause.) What Tal bot, Earl of Shrewsbury had done 800 years ago, the same had been done that day by the present Earl. (Renewed cheering.) The Bishop then went into detail respecting the several Earls of Shrewsbury, and stated that the Abbey Church in the town was founded by one of them, an ances tor of the present Earl ; so that the present church was not the first founded and endowed by an Earl of Shrewsbury. The first act, of his lordship on coming into his extensive estates, was one that would for ever endear him to the church and to the people—that was the founding of a church for the honour and glory of God and the salvation of man, this noble act was in accordance with the principles of the vene rated family, the brightest gem in whose coronet was that they never forgot the honour due to God, nor ever swerved from the ancient faith of their forefathers. (Cheers) After some further observations, he gave long life, health and happiness to Bertram 17th Earl of Shrewsbury. The toast• was received with great applause. The assembly shortly after separated. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. BANKRUPTS. (From the London Gazette of _Last Night.)

'SPECIAL DISPATCHES FROM CONSTANTINOPLE.—Lieute nant Henry Carr Glyn, the son of the eminent Lon don Banker, lieutenant of Admiral Dundas's flag-ship, arrived in Downing-street on Saturday last, charged with important and special dispatches from Constantinople. This gallant young officer, who was selected for this duty came home via -Marseilles in. a French packe-tship. He is under orders to be in readiness to return to the fleet at a moment's notice.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.—The following inquests were held yesterday, at the Royal Infirmary, Manchester, before Edward Herford, Esq., coroner for the city :—On view of the body of Edward Taylor, late of Longsight, a railway stoker, on the Manchester and Birmingham line, aged 23 years, who was recently killed, and who has left a widow and four children. On Saturday fortnight the deceased went with a luggage train to Handforth, on the Manchester and Birmingham line. The train stopped at Handforth, and just as it started again the deceased was pushing some sand upon the rails with his feet, as he worked beside the engine. He slipped down and caught his hand on the spokes of the wheel, which carried his arm round and took it off. The driver stopped the engine immediately ; it had only got about two yards. His left arm was torn off, his ribs were fractured, and he sustained other injuries, from the effects of which he died at the infirmary, to which he was removed as speedily as possibly after the accident. Verdict, acci - dental death.—On view of the body of Samuel Ireland, aged 21 years. It appeared that the deceased was a founder in the employ of Mr. Barningham, iron founder, Canal-side, Pendleton, and that about three weeks ago he was severely burned at the works. It seemed that the deceased's "gaffer" pulled out the door of the furnace, and that the deceased threw in a shovelful' of scale iron " swarf" in order to cool it a little. That made the flame and cinders come out, by which he was severely burned, his shirt being set on fire. His clothes were taken off and he was bathed with boiled oil,' and then removed to the infirmary, where he gradually sank and died of the injuries he received. Verdict, accidental death from burning. R )YAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. —General Jochmus, will known for his prominent part in the recent revolu tionary wars, has just concluded, before the above society, a paper on the passes of the Balkan—the routes pursued by Darius, Hystaspes, Alexander the Great, and Marshal Die bitschthe latter in the Russo-Turkish war of 1829. Ad miral Lord Radstock asked for information as to the possi bility of forming a connection between the Danube (near Silistria) and the Black Sea, where it was understood that the Romans had attempted to cut a canal. He was anxious upon the subject, because such a communication would obviate the iinonvenience of closing the mouths of the Danube by the Russians. Dr. Colquhoun paid a high com pliment to General Jochmus. The idea of a canal between the Danube and the Black Sea he regarded as as a myth, the high range of the land rendering it, as he believed, im possible to carry out such a work.
