It is published in the Journal de St Petersburg, and will be found, in extenso, in ano her column Every intelligence from the seat of War serves o confirm the opinion that the hostile Powers are both fully determined to settle the Easters dispute by having recourse to the fearful alterm ive of a bloody contest; The sword alone mus ow settle what a shuffling diplomacy in vain laboured to effect kn account has reached the Ottoman Embassy of an attack which had taken place near Batounc n the 26th ult lid that 5,000 men were on the field ; and that after a smart engagemen both armies returned to their previous quarters On the 2nd instant the combined fleets anchored in the Bosphorus. The Admirals DIINDAS and }TAMELIN are at Constantinople Not on the Danube alone, but likewise on the rontiers of Asia, hostilities are actively heinE ngaged in; and the Turkish troops are said to be successful It is viewed as very probable that a genera action has been fought by this time—and that 3ucharest ht. been stormed. From the highes sources we learn that the Turkish General an flounced the march to Wallachia as the principa )bject of his military operations. The result is anticipated with the utmost anxiety The conduct pursued by the Turkish troops stands out in bold relief from that adopted by those of Russia; and the two organs of the French Government, speak highly in praise of the, one and in condemnation of the other. Altogether the policy pursued by the SULTAN has been most forbearing; and no other Power would have borne so patiently, or so long, Russia's daring arrogance and iniquitous usurpation A:►iowu an endless number of items of war news we find a proclamation establishing martial law at Bucharest, and which contains the following 1- All merchant vessels, whether Russian, or carrying the Wolda-Wallachian flag, are from this day to cease to navigate the Danube, and to remain where they may now be 2.

We have to congratulate the country on the continuance of the most friendly relations with all foreign powers, particularly withßus sia, but should war be demand ed—plainly demanded—then in that case I find it hole duty of man," that to main tain peace is the duty of every Christian man." Surely we cannot be dreaming! The above speech comes too near the quaintness of the Scottish PREMIER of England to be mistaken. Accustomed to lounge about on the easy benches of the Upper House of Parliament, he can scarcely be expected to shake off the dust of habit, and enter on the busines of a foreign war with that dispatch which has distinguished many greater men from the Highland soil. written in The PREMIER evidently took office on the distinct understanding that he was not to go to war with any one. We admire this idea . amazingly; but it is a matter much to be regretted that there was no proviso in t Angement to the ef&et that should a war be declared, that the Premiership should pass into other, and more energetic hands. Let us hope that th absence of such a clause in the ministerial coition will not prove a direful omission for the honour and interest of Great Britain ! This country being sick of all party con tests, has extended to the present First Lord of the Treasury a degree of quietude and indulgence never before shown to any man holding that most responsible office. This indulgence cannot, and must not, be ex tended much further. Lord ABERDEEN must apply himself to the crisis of the day in some way intelligible to the country. The Proclamation from the Russian camp is addressed to Englishmen as well as the people of other countries who are threatened with the tender mercies of Russian shall not be sold to the Turks nartial-la wheat, salt, or any other article. Persons disobe3 tng this order will be tried by martial law !" This is a matter of no concern to Lord ABERDEEb it is a most conclusive caution to British trade Proclamations so prophetically worded are not to be treated o much waste paper by sane men. In the north of England the commercial ommunity have long anticipated some such sequel loose and costly, and indeed gociations which have so long Is the above, to ti The time has now arrived, however, when there can be no further denial of the existene€ ted. Nor need we wait to con- sider what it a demand for war." The fact with which we have to deal, is that war does exist, and that our honour and interests as a nation, require that we should at once defend the Turks. It is not when thousands of unoffend mg men have been slain, that England should be found with muffled drums, marching to buiy the dead. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.

Why should we, as a people,—confessed lovers of progress, and who are materially aiding the civilization of the world—hanker so after " by-gones ;" and annually drag from the grave the hateful demon of Discord to administer to an hour's frolic, and then to leave bitter and incurable stings behind? What has the " Gunpowder Plot" to do with us ? It is merely a matter of history —so let it remain. There are DE history which It is not when our trade has suffered to the e: tent of millions, that we are to caution the tran sors on the peace of Europe, may expect if they The gift of common sense was not confined to the Scottish nobility, and therefore we are not bound to bestow our entire homage on the good sense or manly parts of the Scotic Peerage. If LORD ABERDEEN thinks to serve the cause of humanity, by waiting " a little longer," we tell him that such a course has already endangered the welfare of the Empire, and if it be pursued further the responsibility will not fall upon stones. If a bold and becoming attitude had been taken in the first instance, by the representative of this country, the invasion of the Principalities would never have taken place. Russia was unable of herself to un dertake such a step. And if she had been shown what the real feeling of Europe was towards her, she would not have run to risk of her existence even with the war cry of " Orthodox Faith.' ler column will be found the Manifesto of In an the Emperor NICHOLAS, to which we shall recur on Monday UNJUST and impolitic taxes on food we had hoped were for ever abolished throughout the British dominions. But what will be the amazement of the public when they find that we have a local tax upon bread-stuffs imported into this town, which are, if anything, more unjust, oppressive, and pro hibitive, than the imperial tax levied upon food under the late " protective" system. The magni tude of the Liverpool bread tax is greater than the public are at all prepared to hear. For every 100 T) quarters of wheat imported the consumer has to pay the Dock Committee, in dues, Xll 2s. 3d. We will discuss at once the justice and propriety of this one item, before we bring forward the long addenda to .swell the ;total to an intolerable impo sition. Dock dues are sums paid to the public estate of this Borough. The management of this estate, or what is called the "Dock Trust," is given to a Committee, elected jointly by the Dock Rate payers and the Town Council, for the public or general weal, totally irrespective of profit or emolu ment. This being the letter of the trust itself, and the spirit evinced by the legislature in amplifying and perpetuating the estate, we deny boldly the right of the Dock Committee to levy any dues which are unjust and oppressive, and which are most inimical to the public good. A direct tax . upon the bread of this Borough, which swells the price of the chief necessary of life to an inordinate degree, is at once a violation of the Trust and the spirit of the legislature. It is even more. It marks out our town as the dearest market, while it stamps our port with a character for high charges. These are both highly prejudicial to the general good We need not travel beyond the Mersey, fortunately, for an example of better judgment and greater pro priety of purpose. The dues to which we have thus far alluded are but a mere shadow of the great taxing spirit which presides over the Council of this martyred Borough. Added to the excessive Dock dues, we have most exorbitant charges for cartage, warehousing, and On 1000 quarters of wheat the two for mer charges amount to £l6 135.• 4d. When we speak of this item as excessive, we do so from a well considered comparison . , as we shall presently Insurance show. In the meantime, we have a perfectly usu rious rate of fire insurance exacted in this town. The charge for three months is 7s. 6d. per cent., which, if we estimate the value of 1000 quarters of wheat at £2,200, we have an additional impost of £8 55., which brings the aggregate amount of charges on 1000 quarters to the enormous sum of £36 Os. 7d. This is the modest total of the tax upon bread in the boasted free trade port of Liverpool ! . Why, the Borough tax upon wheat is upwards of three-fourths of the bread tax required to meet the wants of the Imperial Exchequer. To show that we do not approach this subject without t ,ry to prove our case, we now give a table o charges on foreign wheat warehoused in Bii head contrasted with those of Liverpool, in which the figures are placed in juxta-position.

But in exposing this commercial enormity we are bound to state that our figures merely embrace the Minimum rates charged in Liverpool. The warehouse rent in Birkenhead is 2s. 6d. per week for 100 quarters, therefore the saving in favour of Birkenhead would ,be equivalent to twenty-three weeks storage, free of charge. And if we take the present price of wheat, instead of its value when shipped, the saving would be equal to six months free storage. The following figures es- Alblish the fact, where the grain is forwarded from ships in Dock;— LIVERPOOL BIRKFZIHEAD, s. d. £ s. d. Dock Dues.... 11 2 3 Dock Dues..... NIL.

These are facts of great, magnitude. They show how much may be done where a true liberal and commercial spirit oc cupies the place of vulgar local prejudices, both in politics and municipal government Taxes sound as euphoniously to the public ear as the more homely names of Papa and Mamma.

But as Dr. JOHNSON remarked, "He who would apprehend danger from Popery now, would have cried fire at the D The fact ti a custon dency to create and perpetuate strong feelir religious asperity amongst the people, would b quite sufficient to justify and demand its future suppression. But apart from this consideration, the serious evils which it engenders, should most certainly be stayed by the strong hand of civil power, if life and property be of any worth. With reference to Exeter alone, the scandalous and outrageous conduct which took place in the cathedral yard of that city, and in presence of the police authorities—who were perfectly unable tc cope with or suppress the mischief—strongly urge the impropriety of permitting large bodies of per sons to associate together on such an occasion, and • .or such a purpose The "Lord Mayor's Show," as it is vulgarly, but quaintly termed, although certainly the lesser evil, is nevertheless not altogether unobjectionable. It is a trumpery piece of pageantry, at the best— a mere gaudy gingerbread exhibition- —caleulatc to amuse nurse-maids and naughty children! -am even the cockneys themselves view it in no bette public money, and creates a serious suspension of business. But these are not all the injurious con- sequences that ensue. Whil notables of the city finish up with turtle and champagne, anc quaff libations in honour of their titulary divinities, the posse commitatus fail not to pay tribute at the shrine of BAccnus, and imbibe potations, ad libitum, in his honour. Of course accidents form part and parcel of the day's amusement ; and for a weel afterwards the London papers are filled with ac counts of the same. These unmeaning and absurd usages, we are gla( to find, are falling away in public estimation. They do not meet with half the support - now that they formerly did; and every year lessens the number of their supporters. But absurd national customs " die hard, and rally often ;" and a long time must necessarily ensue ere they cease to leave no trace of theirprevious existence behind.

On Tuesday the mother and brother went out to work, and left the girl at home in care of a lonely cottage, situ ated in the parish of Cutcombe, near Dunster, Somerset. There are two dwellings under the same roof ; the other being occupied by an old woman more than eighty years of age, who, on Tuesday morning, about ten o'clock, saw a young man named Baily, in the house with the girl. He soon after left the house, and did not again return. On the return of the mother and brother, they made a search for the girl, and at last found her in an old barn close by, with her throat cut, and quite dead. The man Baily is in custody. A SCENE AT CASSEL—Herr Hassenpflug, since 1850 the Electors of Hesse's Prime Minister, has again been the chief actor in and the victim of a scandalous scene. On the occasion of the annual shooting expedition in honor of St. Hubertus, the patron of German sportsmen, Herr Has senpflug quarrelled with Count Yseuburg, the Elector's son-in-hw. In the course of the evening of the same day the Count proceeded to Herr Hassenpflug's house, to de mand an explanation of certain expressions which had escaped his Excellency's. lips in the dispute. Herr Has- senpflug was at the tfieatre,and to the theatre the Count followed him, and inviting him to come out, he took him into the public square, where he made a peremptory de mand for an explanation and apology. It appears that Herr Hassenpflug would not explain, and that he treated the proposal to apologize with the utmost scorn, for Count Ysenburg, who was accompanied by a servant holding a cane, stepped back, took the cane from the servant's hand, and commenced belabouring his Excellency, who cried lustily for help. His crieds attracted a crowd, but the Count prevented the interference of the populace by saying, " Good people, I am Count Ysenburg, and the man I am beating is the Minister Hassenpflug.' Saying which he continued thrashing his unfortunate Excellency until the cane broke in his hands, and then left the Prenlier covered with blood. The greatest excitement prevails at Cassel, and the embarrassment of the Count beggars all description Count Ysenburg has left Cassel for Erfuft.—Koclner Zeitunq. A PICTURE FROM THE SCENE OF WAR.—ltostchuk is a large town in Bulgaria, of some 30,000 inhabitants, situated on a promontory advancing into the Danube. From the roofs of its houses a splendid view may be obtained over the vast winding river, 'which is suffielently deep to carry merchantmen of large size. An immense number of vessels are constantly anchored along the quays. From a distance the town has a magnificent appearance ; but, as usual, the streets are narrow, dirty, and dismal. The lower parts of the houses, as is the case everywhere in Turkey, are without windows. The shops are generally tolerably well supplied with merchandise. Travellers bound for Constantinople hire horses at this place, and put themselves under the guidance of a Tartar. The distance to Shumla is reckoned generally at 22 hours. The road is picturesque, and for some time after starting the Danube remains in sight. Be tween Siniouscha and Tomlak it is descried, however for the last time from a lofty table-land. The road then enters the valley of the Lom, bordered on both sides by precipices and carpeted with verdure. As you proceed the ground rises and the path lead's across hills and vallies, here and there covered with brushwood. All this country is thinly inhabited. Now and then Bulgarian villages may be seen in the distance ; but on the road are only one or two solitary khans. The neighbourhood of hidden inhabited places is indicated by wells on the roadside, from which paths lead up into the mountains. Women with jars upon their heads are sometimes seen coming down for water. The first halt • a town inhabited by about 15,000 Moslems and a few Bulgarian families. As a rule the Chris tians, whose occupations are almost entirely agricultural, are disseminated in small villages throughout the country. Their number is estimated at between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000. The Turks, infinitely less numerous, are congre gated in the great towns, but there are some villages here and there entirely Turkish. As they are generally placed in commanding positions, they are probably inhabited by descendants of old military colonies, established to keep th( country i I sub' fhore still con tinues a aceer in subjc mof valleys and hills.
