Mr. WHITESIDE'S elaborate briet has broken down before a packed jury ; but this only proves the existence of that general debility which the fiercest eloquence could not ovArcorne or remove.. The PALMERSTON policy. is / however, no mystery. Centralisation at home and abroad—the former to feed prodigality by patron age, and the latter to indulge that most, dangerous habit s namely, intermeddling incessantly as medi ators or dictators in the affairs of other countries. Both of these courses, if adopted as governmental principles by a British Ministry, must sooner or later bring about its author's ears the bitterest opposition of all parties in England, and in foreign States. But there are other matters which will bear with an hundredfold greater weight on the present government' than the failure of . all their political views put together. We have a war budget to provide for in piping days of peace." We require an expansion of trade, in some degree commensurate with our losses by war. The terms of peace will not justify our making those reductions in our naval And military forces which our material condition requires. The State is imperatively urged to adopt measures for the social improvement of the masses, such as providing a system of national education. Increased expenditure and large reductions in local and State burdens are demanded on all hands ; and to those complexities a score of others might be added to swell the knotty rebus which British, and, indeed, European rulers have to solve. Nations do not return 7frorn war to peace like " giants refreshed." The havoc of the sword is invariably left to be repaired by reason, and hence we find all • the Powers of the Continent exceedingly solicitous to push forward the construction of railways, the establishment of those manufacturers of debt—credit banks —and the developement of their national resources. On the realisation of these objects the preservation of the present social fabric of Europe depends, and in the race of reason Great Britain must not stand still. We can hardly be asked to wait for the advice and consent of an international commission to do this, that, and the other, to improve our industrial and mercantile condition. We question if any natural expansion which may take place in trade, will render the limited reduction which is likely to be made in the State expenditure, at all tolerable. 90,000,0001. or 100,000,000/. of taxation is much easier paid from war prices, than 70,000,0001., or even 60,000,0001., from "peace markets. If we export 120,000,0001. this year, we shall not be as well off, as prices will be lower, as we were in 1855. Living will be cheaper, but the monetary pressure will be the same. The many advan tages anticipated from a return of publ e confidence will be shown in the preference given to Russian railway shares, and other foreign stocks, over British consols, and other descriptions of our home securities. To check this " reckless " buoyancy," the Bank of England screw will -11.4 - applied, and those meaus i eTa i p.loyf4 mlaich-lead to " a fall, geii"e;rEktryciii:,tlte!p; , ices of commodities, to " get back gold." These are the stern realities which lie under that flimsy and dangerous policy, on which the PALMERSTON Cabinet seem to plume themselves. Petty politics are no more than straws on the surface of a mountain torrent, when the great social waters begin to heave, and the baneful consequences of resorting to contemptible clap trap, where the enlightenment and unimpeachable honesty of the statesman ought to be resorted to, break forth on great industrial communities. Lord PALMERSTON does not, surely, suppose that arbi tary Police Bills, Centralisation Schemes, Spoilation Committees, the creation of fat sinecures for earnest supporters, and all those ephemeral state tactics, which he has so often exposed, and ably denounced in others will meet all the difficulties to be en countered in a sudden transition from war to peace ! His CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S Budget will show us how he proposes to provide the ways and means to support the lavish expendi ture already sanctioned by Parliament, and which has, doubtless, been fully appropriated before this, or will be required before the close of the current fiscal year. To get the entire estimated amount from the present sources of income, appears to us to be wholly out of the question. What, then, will be done ? Are "protective" duties to be resorted to for purely revenue purposes ? Shall we be driven back on veritable usury and imaginary " protection ?" These are the questions which ought to be engaging the attention of 'the Imperial Legislature, and not unconstitutional innovations on the civil rights of the subject, and impolitic intermeddling in the affairs of other countries. Corn and cotton famines and money panics are Great Britain's greatest dangers and most deadly foes. Add to these, prodigality in our state and corporate expenditure, and we have the worst political scourges increasing the fearful intensity of the afflictions which are inherent in our present artificial condition. Probably Lord PALMERSTON is waiting patiently for an unmistakeable concur rence of untoward events to overtake this cabinet before the noble Lord touches on finance, or will vouchsafe to let the mercantile world know what articles of commerce are market for the re-imposition of prohibitive duties. The annuitant classes labour under a vary strong conviction that some reduction will be made in the income or " property tax," and if that impost is to be raised, it would be a great consolation to them to know it, that they may take the necessary prudential steps in due season. That the members of the House should be perpetually putting the most trifling questions to the Premier, and taking up the public time, when there are so many really important matters which the country is anxious to know something about, is very singular. That the expenditure must forth with be reduced by some millions, or the present tariff of taxation increased in some direction is quite certain ; and it would be but fair to all classes to let us know what we are to gain in the way of social amelioration, as set off against all the party trash and Ministerial twaddle of the day.

THE MORTHERN TIMES..LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1866 MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, THt7RSDAY EVENING The demand for Cotton has been rather more general to day, but still the amount of business done has not been large, the sales amounting only to 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 have been taken for speculation and export. Prices are without change. The Liverpool Stock Exchange has been closed to -day. The tone of the Manchester Goods Market has been less buoyant to-day, and, with a limited business, prices have been irregular, and tending slightly downward, for both Goods and Yarns. By way of Callao, we have advices from Mel bourne to the 18th of February, details of which are given in another column. By the West India mail we have advices from California to the 20th of March, 'which are a fortnight later than those previously to hand, and which will also be found, at length, in another part of our paper The Greenfield had arrived out at San Francisco from this port, after a passage of 111 days, being the shortest ever made. Accounts from the South American Republic mention that Peru was still in an unsettled state, but the Eehinique party was nearly exhausted. The Senate was occupied in the formation of a new Constitution, but very little progress had yet been made. Business remained dull, and in the port of Callao there was a smaller amount of shipping than had been known for some time previously. A treaty of commerce between Chili and the Argentine Republic was being arranged. The project of a railway from Cordova to Rosario was expected soon to be carried into effect.

Mr. Crook shank had, however, been released by order of Lord Raglan, who, however, expressed his disapprobation of Mr. Crookshank's conduct. Mr. Crookshank remarked that this was the first time he had heard that Lord Rag lan had disapproved of his conduct, and he added that he thought the Earl of Lucan must be labouring under some misapprehension. The Earl of Lucan replied that the letter of Lord Raglan would be found in the Quartermas ter General's office. Mr. Crookshank complained that if such a letter existed, it had been most unjustifiably with held from him. He begged to add that, although Lord Luean:was a General of Division, he had no right to say to him—an officer in her Majesty's service and a gentle- Man—that he had told a lie. (This remark elicited loud cheers.) Sir Alexander Woodford, the president, said that if there were arty more manifestations of feeling of that kind he should order the court to be cleared.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING Public attention is completely absorbed to-day by the publication or, rather, the partial publica tion, for it is not yet complete, of the protocols of the Peace Congress. As far as the protocols go, they seem to be generally considered as very unin teresting. It is noticed that the Journal des Debits publishes a laudatory article on the peace, as concluded by the Emperor. This is the first time the Orleanist journalist has spoken admiringly of his Majesty, and its doing so gives colour to the report which has for some time been present in the higher Bonapartist circles, that it is anxious to pass over to the government and again enjoy the advantages of government patronage. But I have heard that it is not impossible that the government will, when it shall have once completely compromised itself, decline to accept its aid. The Bourse has improved, to-day, and money is more plentiful. After closing my letter last evening, I learned that M. De Jollivet, who I told you, two or three days back, was suspected of having given the copy of the treaty of peace to the Daily News and the Belgium papers, has been arrested, and is to be detained until he will reveal from whom he got it. - Strange to say only one of the daily news papers has thus far given any account of the atrocious murder made in the Rue Laffette mentioned in my letter of the day before yesterday, and that one gives the details quite incorrectly, Such is the way in which Paris newspapers are con ducte 3. Decidedly, the readers of the NORTHERN TIMES know more of the really important events that take place in Paris, than the Parisians themselves. The victim of the murder was buried to-day. Amongst the bills presented to the legislative body, is one for giving the Emperor the power to grant pensions, not exceeding 8001. a year, to high State functionaries, their widows and children. There is also a talk of enabling the Emperor to grant titles of nobility, accompanied with the pensions ! And the sum to be allowed to Count de Morny, for his visit to St. Petersburg, which is to be one of mere ceremony, is, it is stated, not to be less than 32,000/. in our money, Poor France ! Her pecuniary burdens are already terrible, and yet her rulers seem to take a wanton pleasure in augmenting them. THE ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SEBASTOPOL. APRIL 17. To-day the blessings of peace were duly celebrated by a grand military spectacle. A review of the French and English armies was held for the benefit of our quondam bitter foe, hut now dear friend, General Luders. Perhaps such a sight as the marching past of these two great armies will never be seen again. The review of the French took place at 11 a.m., and ended at 3 p.m. Ou its conclusion, General Luders proceeded to a dejeuner at our head quarters, and after having e n j o y e d G enera l Codrington's hospitality, came forth to inspect the English troops. The review of our army lasted from about four p.m. till seven p.m. The ground selected for the . French review was the plateau on the summit of the range of hills that run along the coast from the heights above the Col De Balaklava to the Monastery of St. Cesorid. As you stood at one extremity of the ground, the French regiments covered the whole of the face of the country in a long line as far as the eye could reach. The dark masses could just be discerned on the last hill, contrast ing with the faint outline of the Black Sea. It indeed seemed a mighty host. After being inspected, the whole army marched past a small rising ground, on which stood Gens. Pelissier, Codririgton, and Luders. The army took two hours and a quarter in marching past, and it is estimated that their numbers were about 80,000 men. Considering the great sickness they have had during the last winter, the troops looked uncommonly well. The Zouaves, as they came past in double quick time, with their swinging step and picturesque costume, were espe cially admired. The cavalry and artillery, owing to the wretched horses on which they were mounted, did not create so good an effect. When this review was over, the generals, with their most gorgeous retinue, proceeded to our head quarters to lunch. As they got near to the house in which our Commander-in-Chief takes up his residence, the road was lined by the 11th Hussars, and so the Russian general rode up, to what was once R uss i an property, to enjoy the hospitality of its English master, between lines of English Cavalry. The staff that followed, comprised every uniform that the imagination could suggest. There was our own 11th Hussar dress ; there was the blue and white of the French Hussar, the French Horse Artillery, the French Chasseurs, Russian Dragoons in blue and silver, Russian Hussars in every colour of the rainbow, and, what was most striking, a troop of Cossack body guards who were attired verylike our gracious Queen's beef-eaters, or the guards of the royal Bengal tiger in Wombwell's menagerie, red lances, red caps, red everything. Among these flashed the gold and waved the plumes of innumerable staff officers. The English army was paraded in front of the house that serves as our head-quarters on a large open plain. As the house stands upon a bill, the generals ascended to it from behind, nothing could be seen of our troops till they came out of the front of the house. In th;s way the arrangements were very good. The Highland Brigade was drawn up on each side to line the path through which the generals would pass, and the rest of the army extended right and left in long lines, at the extremity of their ranks. As then the generals came out from the house, the effect suddenly bursting upon them must have been very good. At last the long wished for moment came, white plumes were seen to dance about the balcony in front of the house; the Highlanders stood to attention ; the guns of the artillery fired a salute, and the the brilliant cortege advanced slowly into the open space before the house. Here they paused to enjoy the sight, and then, with bands playing, the Highlanders standing like rocks on either side, they advanced slowly along the ranks. After they had ridden along the whole of the lines, the generals gallopped up to a flag-staff that had been erected, and the whole army marched past. The troops marched past in the same order as at the last review, the first division leading, and the light division, followed by the Artillery, bring up the rear. We mustered about 40,000 men. The Highlanders and Artillery especially attracted the admiration of the Russians. The Artillery were a striking contrast to the French; the guns and carriages were in first rate order, and the horses in most splendid condition. The men universally looked well and strong. It was growing dusk when the review ended, and General Luders thus saw, in a single day, the whole of that mighty host, which—but for the present unexpected change in affairs—would have been now dealing death and destruction against his country. Strange thoughti must have passed through that man's mind as those thousands, far away from their own land, proudly stepped past, in the pride of health and strength, looking as well on that foreign soil, which they had won by their sword, as if they had just turned out of their barracks at home The Russians are brave men, but they might learn, from to-day's spectacle, a respect for other nations, which, perhaps, Russian pride refuted hitherto to acknowledge. The Russians had a review last Sunday, but it was only a kind of preparatory one, and they promise a grander one in a short time. Very few knew of the one last Sunday. Last Tuesday the French had some races on the ground between Kamiesch and the monastery, at which General Luders was present. The race of the day was won by a Frenchman, a Count Thelon. Russians now meet one at every turn, and Russian droskies line our roads. A real prince, of the aristocratic title of Prince Galitzkin, has been staying next door to me, but the great gun of the Crimea, is an Indian prince, from Calcutta. He attracted great attention at the races and review. He is of a most ebony and Oriental cast of countenance, but takes away from his romance by dressing a le A ng i ct i s, in trousers and boots. The Russian officers are fine looking, gentlemanly m en, and invariably speak th ree or f our languages. _ _ _ April 18th.—The weather, which hitherto has been very favourable ror all these sights, has to day taken a sudden change, and it rains in the most persevering mann er , while a north wind reminds you that he has not quite done with you yet, and scatters all your summer feelings. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dewsbury, Bateley, and Heckmondwike Water Bill, and the Scarborough Water Bill were read a third time and passed. On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, the East Kent Railway Bill, and the Imperial Hotel Company Bill, were respectively withdrawn. _rt Sir JAMES DUKE presented petitions from several of the livery companies against the Corporation Reform Bill. Several petitions were presented against the abolition of church rates without a proper substitute being found ; numerous petitions were also presented against the grant to Maynooth. IRISH POSTAL COMMUNICATIONS, In reply to a question put by Lord NAAS, with regard to the postal communication between Ballymena, Cole raine, and Londonderry, Mr. Wrtsort said that very great difficulty had been found in dealing with the railways on these lines. A negociation, however, had been opened and brought to a successful conclusion, and great improvements would take place in the postal arrangements of the districts, com mencing on the 9th of the present month. SPANISH DUTIES In reply to Mr. LIDDELL, Lord PALMERSTON said that the refusal of the Spanish Government to refund to Messrs. Clementson, of New— castle-upon-Tyne, the amount of excess of duties levied last October at Tarragona upon a cargo of iron, had occu pied the attention of her Majesty's Government at home, and of the English minister at Madrid. The Spanish Government had acknowledged the claim, but up to the present time the money was not forthcoming. The Spanish Government was the slowest of all governments in satisfying pecuniary claims, but the British Govern ment would use their best exertions to see justice done in this and all other similar cases. THE RUSSIAN BOUNDARIES, In reply to Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY, Lord PALMERSTON said that the boundaries described by the treaty of peace, were so definite, that it was not considered necessary to prepare a plan. TUB DANUBIAN ISLANDS. Replying to Mr. T. FRENCH, The Noble Lord said the islands at the mouth of the Danube, would be excluded from the Russian gevern_ ment. THE MACE. SEA FORTRESSES. In answer to Lord J. MANNERS, Lord PALMERSTON said that a discussion had taken place in the Paris conferences, with regard to the fortresses on the east coast of the Black Sea, but it had led to no result, and there was nothing in the treaty that referred specially to that part of the country. THE FIREWORKS. Replying to Mr. Tnos. DUNCOMBE, Lord PALMERSTON said the pyrotechnic celebration of the peace would take place on the Queen's birthday. On the orders of the day being called on, Lord PALMERSTON proposed that the other orders should be postponed till after the Kars debate. Mr. DUNLOP complained of injustice to private mem bers, who had measures on the paper, by this pro ceeding. Mr. MALINS made a similar complaint, and appealed to the noble lord to allow the debate upon private members' bills. to take place previous to the resumption of the the Kars debate. Lord PALMERSTON justified the course which he pro posed to take. Mr. CRAWFORD added his remonstrances to those of other members who had spoken against this course of proceedings, and complained that those measures should be postponed to make way for a factious motion. The orders of the day were then read and postponed. THE FALL OF KARS. The debate on the Kars question was renewed by Sir E. B. LYTTON, who justified the course which he took on Tuesday in moving the adjournment, and then proceeded to reply to Mr. Layard's speech, denying that the motion of Mr. Whitagide attributed tha fall of Kars exclusively to the conduct of her Majesty's Government. Had excellent despatches and energetic letter-writing been alone required to save Kars, Lord Clarendon would have succeeded, but ammunition, artillery, provisions. and transports were also required, and it was well known that they could not be provided by the Turkish Govern ment. If a sum of money had been placed at the disposal of General Williams, the Russians would never have entered Kars, but though millions were asked for, and though a Turkish loan was raised for the defence of Turkey, no such proceeding had been taken throughout. After alluding to the importance of the fortress. He argued that its loss was owing to the want of energy and foresight on the part of the British Ministers, and principally to the procrastination of Lord Panmure. Mr. V. * SMITH' observed that the censure conveyed by the resolution was directed by those who had supported it to Lords Clarendon and Panmure, who had not an opportunity in that debate of defending their conduct. Honourable members sitting on the opposition side of the House had endeavoured to evade a direct issue on the question. This issue must be taken u pen the comparative advantages of different directions of hostility, and he contended that the politic course at the lime was to direct all their efforts against Lord Palmerston. He (Mr. V. Smith) considered that the whole conduct of the war should have been discussd at once, and not on a single point selected because it was unfortunate that it might be mede the ground of a party attack upon the Government. Mr. VANSITTART supported, and Mr. LAFFAN opposed the resolution. Colonel DUNNE charged the fall of Kars upon the War office, and upon the government, and supported the reso lution. Mr. COWAN defended the government. Mr• LIDDELL cordially assented to the amendment, Sir JAMES GRAHAM divided the charges against the Government into two—first, that though they were dis satisfied with the conduct of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, they had failed to recall him ; and, secondly, that they had omitted to send relief to Kars in proper time. With regard to the first charge, he reverted to the services of Lord Stratford, to the stand that he had made against Russian agression, and to the introduction by him of first principles of religious liberty into Turkey. He regretted the misunderstanding between General Williams and Lord Stratford, which he believed had led to evil consequences, but remarked,with reference to the latter, that his ability, his length of service, and his success, would have induced him (Sir James Graham), had he remained in office, to have opposed, to his utmost, any attempt to remove him. With regard to the second ground of blame, he considered that the refusal to withdraw troops from the Crimea, at the suggestion of Omar Pacha, not withstanding the ability of that general, was both justi fiable and expedient, and in support of his opinion, he referred to a conference in the Crimea, early in July, con sisting of English and French generals, whose opinion was unanimous, that not a single man should be detached from Balaklava, Eupatoria, Kertch, or other ports. The right hon. baronet, in conclusion, stated his intention of opposing the resolution and amendment. Mr. DtsRAELI defended the resolution. His hon. and learned friend, the member for Enniskillen, did not make Lord Stratford de Redcliffe the subject of his attack, but impugned the conduct of those who were respon sible for Lord Stratford's conduct. He contended that it was the intention of the Government in fulfilment of what might be considered a pledge, to have sent succour to General Williams. With regard to the argument that men could not be spared from the Crimea for the pur pose, the right honourable gentleman elicited much cheer ing by enquiring whether it was to be understood that the strength of united Europe was so weak against Russia that no force could be spared to create a diversion. If even the Government could not send men to General Williams, they might have sent money, but this they had failed to do. Lord J. RUSSELL defended the Government. Lord PALMERSTON vindicated the Government. Mr. WHITESIDE having replied at considerable length, The House divided on Mr. Ker Seymer's amendment, that it was inexpedient to express an opinion upon the question, until after the debate on the treaty of peace had takeniiplace. On this division the numbers were:— For the amendment Against it _ Majority 399 A division immediately followed on the original resolu tion proposed by Mr. Whiteside, when there appeared For the resolution 17fi Against it '303 Majority in favour of ministers...l27 The announcement of the numbers was received with loud and long continued cheers. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at half-past one o'clock. THE KARS DEBATR.—Last night the adjourned debate in the House of Commons on Mr. Whiteside's resolution on the subject of the fall of Kars was brought to a close. After a division on Mr. K. Seymour's amendment, which was to the effect that it was inexpedient to pronounce an opinion on the Kars question until the debate on the treatY of peace had taken place, and which was rejected by an Overwhelming majority, the House divided on the original question (Mr. Whiteside's resolution), when there ap peared 176 votes in its favour; 303 against it, thus giving a majority of 127 to Ministers. Our report adds that the announcement of the numbers was received with loud aa4 long continued cheering. ROBBERY AND ELOPEMENT OF A MARRIED WOMAN ARREST OF THE FUGITIVES IN LIVERN Yesterday afternoon detective officer Sullivan, a v er Y,., active member of the force, m a d e a captureln this t w ': of a singular and interesting d escr ipti o n. It is a c urioo r fact, that during the last four or fi v e years, this oißeie, has arrested the flight of a considerable number of f a les. wives, and levanting husbands, indeed, he has the peculiar genius in that was', and the records 0 -f r . "runaways," whose career h e h as c ut short in Liv; iee pool, would, no doubt, make up materials for a d little three volume romance. Th e capture he ia o. yesterday is little short of any o f hi s previous explu a The facts are these—Mrs. Eliz a H orne is the Wife of Mr. Horne, of Poplar, London, who is described aosi; wealthy " excavator," and it appears that one t Fennell, a native of Yorkshire, was employed, in,'" i a e• capacity it did not appear, by the aforesaid IStr.ll"r,l'es John Fennell is about altogether six feet three ine' l et high, and as fine a looking fellow as could be 111 0 within a day's walk. It seems that Mrs took a very great liking to Mr. Fennell. The result an ( s i the packing up of several large trunks with bea s l ii n i n s• valuable goods, and these were directed to one r d Jones, Liverpool," who was to be a passenger on board one of Messrs. Baines' ships for Australia. Mr' an Mrs. Jones were to follow the luggage from Loncl un ' tc - ho in course of time the soi disant Mr. and Mrs. Jones , happened to be no other than Mrs. Eliza Horne 3 0 Mr. John Fennell, did arrive in the "good ` old town' Mrs, Horne thinking, wisely, no doubt, that travail Eliza flora_ charges" would be requisite, helped herself to a 5 1 . 1 " i n ds upwards of £4OO, just all the cas h s h e c ould lay "a"•,, on belonging to her husband, an d f or thwith took tr ue for Liverpool, accompanied by M r .

That unfortunate (for lovers) Piecei ,p'r machinery called the telegraph w i res , f or etold arrival, and by its means Sullivan knew all alo l l t affair as well as the parties themselves did long bef ore they reached Liverpool ; yet, cute as he is, they ulanag to baffle him for two nights, and a portion of yest erdaY i About noon yesterday he walked into the public b en ` e % Mr. Kearsis, in Paisley-street, where he saw a "lady' a A I % gentleman " enjoying a pot of beer and some lunclbanu glance of his eye told him plain enough " here they areer, " How do you Edo, Mrs. Horne," said the officer,elf,' r Y, politely. Of course the lady fainted, but jus t b thinking proper to do so, she said her name was Jl e or Brown, in fact anything except Horne. Tbe °wc u e d then addressed Mr. John Fennel by his patronoroic:nt, that gentleman, although he did not actuallY ! a l u y might as well have done so, for he turned pale as in napkin." He tried to say Jones, but the name stue little his throat, and he could no t pronounce it.

LECTURE ON THE PEACE Last night, a lecture on the "Peace with Ro sia; delivered in the Do mes ti c Mi ss i on Ch a pel, Bedford -We? a Toxtetb Park, by M r . G eorge M e lly. Th e chair was o ee°P't by Mr. Wi tulson. was ° ot big The lecrer commenced by stating that it intention to find fault with the peace, or condemn in a n :i t h a t those statesmen who had concluded it. He consd ere „ - I , in they had had quite enough of abuse of everything Eng" s o - ne e connexion with the past war, and had been told, perh a P his too often, that the glory of England had set for ever. ' n 1 !d discourse that evening, he would pass by those topics, and v/9_, it s then but briefly, consider the causes which led to the Wa''.ts then the progress of the war—and, finally, the P eace ; tll° character and probable effects. Having rapidly disposed of list first branch of his subject, the lecturer treated at sonic the more length of the second head, which embraced all pomp and circumstance" of the war, dwelling, particularly, t the heroism and devotion to their country, shown, th rong hoo ia by every soldier in the British army, from the hig hest e command, to the lowest drummer-boy. Tracing rapidly t" slow progress of the siege of Sebastopol, from the first oPe, v , in , g tire on its devoted clown to the final assault, he dwe'" some length on the circumstances attending the capture of 3 Malakhoff, and our own first repulse at the Reba , (differing from nearly all who have as yet sP° l " 3 or written of these events) hinted that in our repulse a t the Redan was part of the general plan of assault, ther welds, that the attack was made with the full foreknowledg° that it would be unsuccessful, until the Malakoff, which ss?' the key of the position, was taken, and that our g generAlF, undertaking o trying portion of the assault, gave gene proof of their ' devotion. He declared that this view of t event would eventually be found to^ be the true one/ 7 5 , that,. probably, in a few weeks, England would be in P °s i i i s Bien of the solution of the mystery which as yet hung ever this part of the history of the war. Having thus disposed of t . 13 siege, he referred to the position of the belligerent powers a' l a close, and argued that while Russia was wholly prostrate, stsi, France bankrupt of men and money, England was ff ik ai d e d ° ‘ giant refreshed," and that had the opportunity been a". the for another campaign in the Baltic, she would have give'n her world another pr oo f, if, i n d ee d, suc h were wanted, fl,at's pristine maritime gl or y was yet un f a d e d. France wa s wo, led, for peace—Austria, (whose apprehension touching P c l Hungary end Italy, h e , as an E ng li s h liberal, regr ette not been realised), ar d en tl y d es i re d p eac e —Russia P d 41 61 for it, and all the objects of the war having been ga i" t . England would not have been justified in longer continuiegwias The terms offered, therefore, were accepted, and p e a ce p ro. happily and honourably concluded. The lecturer hn R ae ceeded to the immediate subject of his discourse. Jifta which adrni d explained the nature of the clans • e in the treaty ~,i,re Tutkey into the fraternity of European nations, and be that the neutralisation of the Black Sea would alone compeosation for the sufferings of the war. The free 133 1 n e to be . n, tion of the Danube, which was intended by nature greatr o l o of the highways of Europe, he urged, was an equally and explained and eulogised the " firman" g i v i n g the rel l ort o freedom to the Christian subjects of the Porte as a " g reat o' o4 had sued, bill," which, if carried out in its integrity, would at °Vatiia obtain for Turkey what it had required many an act of lit er ment to secure for England. In conclusion, th e leect Jac , pronounced the peace, as a wh o le, an honourable, and sa 1, in tory one, and anticipat e d th e mos t b en eficial results from it the developement of the commercial resources of Tu r i k % the the countries alon g th e b an k s of the Danube, an d higher civilisati on w hi c h w ill be secured to the Russian Pin 1 freely by the permi ss i on now accor ded to them to travel u.vorst foreign la n d s , an d to e d uca te themselves in the first ties in Europe.
