THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, on Tuesday, moving
for returns, replied with some warmth to the accusa-
tions which had been brought against the members
of this service. As a proof of the experienced men
now engaged in it, lie observed that out of twenty-
eight first-class missions eighteen were tilled by men
who had been in the public service since IS2Pi. At
the outbreak of the present contest the diplomatists
engaged had rendered good service, and our highest
posts were admirably filled.
The Earl of CLARENDON bore testimony to the
manner in which the Foreign-office agents performed
their duties, saying that, whether they acted on the
instructions given to them or in thu absence of in-
structions, they fulfilled the expectations and require-
ments of the country. The war had imposed new
duties on our consols, who had met them most
satisfactorily. Replying to the charges brought
against the service as aristocratic, he asked if a man,
because well born, became unfit for his duties the
moment he received a miserable stipend of 2001. a
year, and instanced the services of Lords Cowley and
Stratford.
Earl GRANVILLE denied that appointments in the
diplomatic service were conferred from favoritism or
family connections. They were given on the prin-
ciple of putting the right man in the right place.
The Earl of MALYESBURY observed that Mr.
Layard, who had been marked out for a post by Lord
Derl,y solely on account of his abilities, ought to be
the last man to complain that the right inen were
overlooked, and trusted that. inch appointments
would never be made independent of the foreign
service.
The Earl of HARDWIcxE said that whatever might
be the case in the civil service, promotion in the
navy was made altogether from favormem.

JEWISH DISABILITIES.

Lord Lyndhurst has introduced an Oaths and
Affirmations Bill for the removal of these disabilities,
which now stands for its second reading on Tuesday
next. On Monday Lord DERBY complained of the
late time at which the bill was brought in, and said
that the learned lord might just as well have intro-
duced it three months ago.

Lord LYNDHURST replied that he then had no ex-
pectation of success, but, in consequence of informs.
tion which he mceived, he believed that there was
some chance now.

Earl GRANVILLE, denying that there was any secret
understanding with Lord Lyndhurst, promised the
bill the best support from her Majesty's Ministers.

THE SUNDAY RIOTS.

Sir G. GREY, when questioned on this subject on
Monday, said that the police on Sunday had orders
to have a large reserve force in readiness, but that
the movements of the mob towards Grosvenor and
Belgrave Squares were so sudden and unexpected
that only the ordinary police was on the beat, which
was quite unable to cope with so large a number.
Yet more unexpected was the rush towards Totten-
ham-court•road, where the greatest amount of
damage was done, and where no person obnoxious
to the mob resided. The spectators, by obstructing
the passage, materially interfered with the proceed-
ings of the police. One gentleman, indeed, had
captured a rioter, and if other gentlemen had ex-
erted themselves many more of the rioters might
have been taken. The proper steps would be taken
in future to put down such disturbances, and the
authorities would be happy to concur with the inha-
bitants of the threatened districts, and to receive
their assistance.
SCOTTISH EDUCATION BILL.

The third reading of this bill, opposed in every
stage, was carried on Thursday by a majority of
three, and the passing by a majority of fifteen.
Curiously enough, the third reading would have
been lost but for a mistake of two members, who
went into the wrong lobby.

IN ffteflae Et I %111.

Ah ! not because our soldier died before his field was won,
Ah ! not because life would not last till life's long work were done,
Wreathe one less leaf, grieve with less g►ief! Of all our hosts that led,
Not last in work and worth approved, Lord Raglan lieth dead !

His nobleness he had of none. War's master taught him war;
And prouder praise that master paid than meaner lips can mar.
Gone to his grave, his duty done; if further any seek,
He left his life to answer them—a soldier's—let it speak.

'Twas his to sway a blunted sword—to fight a fated field,
Where idle tongues talked victory—to struggle not to yield.
Light thing for placeman's ready pen to mark a day for fight,
Hard thing and hot, with steel and shot, to win that day aright.

Tears have been shed for the brave dead ; mourn him who wept for all.
Praise hath teen given for strife well striven ; praise him who strove

for all.
Nor count that conquest little, though no banner flaunt it far,
That under him our English hearts braved storm, and plague, and war.

And, if he held those English hearts too good to pave the path
To useless victories, shall we grudge what noble palm he hath ?
Like chiefs of old, he fought a•front., and 'mid his soldiers seen.
His task was aye as stern as theirs—oh ! make his grave as green.

They welcome him—his dead who died that savage wars might cease,
Where fortune cloth not measure men their souls and his have peace.
Ay ! as well spent in sad sick tent as they in bloody strife.
For English homes our English chief gave what he had—his life.

" PR AY, J 0 HNN Y."

As sung by Lord P—ms—n at the Reunion Politique in Downing-street, on Wednesday,
July 12th, 18/55.

Pray, Johnny I please to moderate the freedom of your tongue,
Why will you in your statements take us ever by surprise?
Remember, we are very weak, the Opposition strong,
And Dizzy ever ready out of us to " get a rise."
Leave us (grievously did you deceive us
When you rose and on your toes came out so precious high).
Pray, Johnny ! leave the Ministry—or ever hold your tongue—
Or, on my life, you'll find that we will know the reason why.

Pray, Johnny! please to moderate the freedom of your tongue,
Why will you talk of what we never meant the House to know?
You may be right; but then you see you put us iu the wrong,
And all through you, I fear, there 'll be a very pretty go."
Up if you will show us, do not overthrow us,
Lot us sit (despite my wit) upon the Speaker's right.
Pray, Johnny! please in public life to moderate your tongue,
prithee, into private life ream out of sivht.

THE HANGO MASSACRE.

The Earl of MALMESBURY on Tuesday asked the
Government what progress it had made in its inqui-
ries into this unhappy affair.
The Earl of CLARENDON replied that Admiral
Dundas had been instructed to demand the release
of the prisoners, that their testimony might be ob
tained as to the facts of the case. Without this, or
free communication from the officers to their friends,
he could not decide on the course he should ulti-
mately pursue. He argued that the Russians must
have seen the flag of truce, that they could not have
seen the muskets, which were at the bottom of the
boat covered by a tarpaulin ; and the assumption by
British cruisers of the Russian flag—a practice ob-
jected to by the enemy—was a stratagem sanctioned
by the usages of all nations.

THE ALLEGED IRISH BARGAIN WITH
MIN ISTERS.

On going into committee on the Tenants' Compensa-
tion Bill, on Thursday, Mr. MAIINs called attention to
a very general rumour that a deputation of Irish mem-
bers had waited on Lord Palmerston, requesting his
support to the reenactment of the clause giving to
tenants retrospective compensation, and therein
using the actual crisis to make a pressure upon the
Government—a bargain so discreditable that he
could not believe it. Lord PALMERSTON admitted the
deputation, but denied the bargain ; lie had before
supported the clause, and should support it again.
He had, he confessed, remarked on the absence of
Irish members from recent Ministerial divisions.
This announcement was received with loud cheers
of derision from the Opposition, and a vain recrimi-
native debate followed on the propriety of deputa-
tions in general, and of this deputation in particular,
with some remarks, defensive and offensive, on the
conduct of Irish members, all which led to no
result.

and o"cupation of Sebastopol. reached Marseilles on
Thursday, by the steamer Telegraph, which had
been specially sent on that service from the Crimea

Major Curzon, who left Marseilles at l p.m. on
Thursday, and was expected to reach the War-office
i n the course of the past night. At the hour when
our paper goes to press the documents had not been

which they raised in the course of a few days. But there
is an impossibility even for heroes ! The Bth of this
month, atter six desperate assaults ha 4 been repulsed, the
enemy succeeded iu obtaining possession of the important
Korniloff Bastion, and the general-in-chief of the army of
the Crimea, desiring to spare the precious blood of his
companions, which under these circumstances would only
have been uselessly shed, determined on passing to the
northern side of the place, leaving to the enemy only
blood-stained ruins. These heroes, objects of the general
esteem of their comrades, will no doubt offer, on re-enter-
ing the ranks of the army, new examples of the same war-
like virtues. With them and like them, all our troops
animated with the same unlimited faith in Providence, and
the same ardent love for me and their country, will always
and everywhere combat with courage the enemies who
touch the honour and integrity of the country; and the
name of Sebastopol, which has acquired immortal glory by
so many sufferings, and the names of its defenders, will
live etermilly in the hearts of all Russians with the names
of the heroes who immortalised themselves in the battle-
fields of Pultawa and Borodino. ALEXANDLE.

THE WHIG PARTY.

This is the party by whose side
" A Russell fell, a Sj dney died."
How sad it is, Barrillon told
The fact, that even they were sold !
This is the party whose pure votes
Could rob St. John and pension Oates ;
Could Burke's last hours with spite oppress.
And sneer at Wellington's success.
Its policy has been the same
Since first it played the desperate game
To fling the gage of discord down
Between the People and the Crown ;
The King a toy, the mob a tool,
Both made subservient to Whig rule.
As in the deep, a deeper pit
Is found for sinking natures fit,
And men expert in tumbling low
Will never any bottom know
(This truth Lord John can plainly show),
The Whigs have made, through thirst of place,
Their latest acts their worst disgrace.
Some moons ago, not liking tricks
With Continental politics,
They hustled from their chosen ranks
One known for " bottle-holding" pranks.
But as we find that hungry brutes
Their vomit to devour it suits,
This rav'ning crew now load with shame
Their little leader's once proud name,
And hail with slaver and with shout
The man they late conspired to scout.
Full well they know he only rose
By beating them, and not their foes.
They bow their backs—it is their fate
To have a leader whom they hate,
Whose wriggling ways and crooked plan
They follow out as best they can.
But from this party not alone
Is legislative talent flown.
Gone, too, are all its witty sons
With Moore's lampoons and " Sherry's " puns;
And in their place poor Vernon strains
With much ado his costive brains
To get up rival jokes as good
As are let off by playful Wood.
There's Lewis, with his fluent tongue,
Which, when it once has fairly rung,
Can clear the House almost as well
As can the waited dinner-bell.
There's Granville, who, by talking late,
Wields a new weapon in debate,
His hearers puts in troubled doze,
Then rides a nightmare on his foes.
There's bashful Argyll, who can teach
The bench of Bishops how to preach,
And never crams to make a show
Of telling what he does not know.
There's brisk Panmure, whose Phoenix life
From buried sloth springs up to strife,
And just discovers that his soul
Is fittest for the Marshal's role.
There's Clarendon, who halts between
His timid doubt and greedy spleen.
And there is one who tries to ape
The statesman's skill with wax and tape,
With pert reply all minds to bore
With office tricks and blue-book lore ;
With speeches, like his long-drawn face,
The flattest, dullest commonplace.
Proud of his wants, he proves with pains
He's void of feeling as of brains,
And careless shoots a venom'd dart
To pierce a parent's wounded heart.
In all that's shabby, all that's base,
There's one who gains the lowest place ;
And, Peel ! of all this Whiggish crew,
That lowest place is won by you.

THE DUKE OF ARGYLL AND THE
GLASGOW DINNER.

Where (by poetic licence) we may say
The sun illuminates the western bay,
And Inverary frowns upon the shore,
There lives the scion of M'Callum More.
Unlike the sun, he never deigns to shine ;
Cold as his clime is yellow•haiied Argyll.
The Western Highlands nursed the rising Whig,
And now exulting Science claims the prig.
Be it of stars, or Capricorn or Cancer,
There is not a question that the Duke won't answer ;
Brewster and Lyell, Murchison combine
To buy the Duke at his own price, not mine.
When every member prates of his pet ology
The listeners learn the science of pathology ;
But of all dullness which this body preaches
Give me the Duke of Argyll's learned speeches.

But yet methinks were themes that night might rouse
Even that learned body's dull carouse ;
For on that night the electric wire bore
The news of victory to our Highland shore,
And ere the Malakoff was clear of smoke
On each exulting ear the cannon broke.
Then even Commerce lingered on her way,
And the pale lips told more than words can say ;
Then the proud father felt the glow of fame,
While faltering beauty trembled at each name.
Surely at such a soul-inspiring hour
An Argyll's spirit felt the kindred power,
When every glass and heart alike were full
To hear that one great word " Sebastopool !"
At such an hour methinks a Whig might feel,
Although that Whig were a Lord Privy Seal.
Ah no, alas ! when an Argyll doth rise
He feels no glow, no kindred sympathies.
And thus they part, dimmed heart, duller eye.
This the result of our great victory :
The best result says the M'Callum More—
'Twill keep the Whigs in office one year more.

NAPLES.

The Times states " with satisfaction " that M.
Mazza, the Director of the Secret Police at Naplece
whose recent outrages on humanity and justice have
excited the remonstrances of foreign States and the
general disgust of Europe, has been dismissed from
his office, partly by the advice of the Neapolitan
Ministers, and partly in satisfaction of thejust demands
of redress preferred by the British Government. Thi*
functionary it was who had the insolence to convey a
threatening message to Prince Satriano, because a
gentleman connected with the British Legation at
Naples, and therefore obnoxious to the suspicions of
the police, had paid that nobleman a visit in his box
at the theatre. The same official had recently revived
the practice of the bastinado in Naples, and had even
threatened to subject men serving in the King's
forces to the extravagant persecutions of the police.
The Brussels Independence, on the other hand.
is informed by its Turin correspondent that the
Neapolitan Government has given Prince Carini;
its envoy at the Court of London, unlimited leave of
absence. The agitation at Naples is said to be
immense, and the rigour of the police without ex-
ample.
The Paris journals announce that the Neapolitan
Government has added another to the list of insults
perpetrated on French subjects. Two French gen-
tlemen lately arrived at Naples, where they proposed
spending a few months. The sbirri, however, who
superintend the landing of passengers, fancied they
saw something suspicious in the cut of their beards,
and declared their hats not to have that orthodox
shape which alone finds favour in the eyes of Signor
Mazza's employes. The poor Frenchmen wet* iii
consequence prevented from landing, and, as no
return packet was at hand, they were compelled to
remain in the vessel until it reached its final desti-
nation at Malta.

LITERARY NOTICE.

LORD Joint RUSSELL continues his agreeable literary exercises. Tired
with politics, rejected, indeed, as a political orange already oversucked,
his only method of again circulating himself out will be in the candy
of Letters. With the confiding fondness of his early youth, however,
he remains faithful to the Whig poets. The extract we give this week
is again an adoption of the words of Moore :

EVELEEN'S BOWER.

Oh weep for the hour
When unto Indian Power
Mr. Vernon Smith with all his dullness came ;
The Moonshees hid their sight,
And the Pundits all took flight,
To weep their country's ruin and old England's shame.
Soon their livelihood to earn
These Pagans will return,
And Smith seek the obscurity from whence ho came:
But even Hull and Clay,
Molesworth, Bernal, and Grey,
Think we'd better have as President some ancient dame.

The red tape lay
On the broad railway
That runs down to Wiltshire some sixty miles or more,

And many public prints
Give unmistaken hints
That this worst of nominations lies at Lansdowne's door.

Lord Clarendon's afraid,
And even Wood's dismay'd,
As they find that Public Purity is nothing but a myth ;
And the House in gneral prove,
With snore and wink and shove,
That stupidity's synonymous with Vernon Smith.

THE ROMAN STATES.

Since the commencement of the war, Russian ar-
rivals in Rome, which were previously reckoned on
by the multifarious tribe who live on foreigners, as
their best resource after the English,have been few and
far between. A letter from that city of the 10th inst.,
however, states that two Russian generals passed
through Rome en route for Naples, and found time
to visit the lions, and to spend money in the studios
also, the war contributions apparently not having as
yet exhausted their finances. They purchased a fine
Statile of gYO by Deugoni, ordered auotber LIM

ISATtRDir,

of Gajessi. It is surmised that it is not merely to
cultivate the fine arts that these officers have got
permission to visit Italy, but that political conferences
with the Pope and the Bourbonic sovereign of Naples,
and arrangements for a future line of action in the
Italian peninsula, are the real objects of their mis-
sion.

M. Mamelos, the Spanish chargé &affairs, who re-
mained in charge of the embassy on the cessation of
M. Pazheco's mission, left Rome, on the Uth inst.,
thus putting an end to the representation of Spain at
this Court.

THE NATIVES OF INDIA.

II

ONE unfortunate result of the late disclosures
on the subject of torture has been the spread-
ing abroad an opinion which is both very
erroneous and very dangerous regarding the
natives of India. It has been alleged that
because they have submitted so tamely to the
proceedings of the Company's officials they
must necessarily be a very meek, imbecile, and
harmless set of creatures, incapable of resent-
ment, born to be bullied, and so patient of
ill-usage as to make it a matter of little
importance in what manner they may be
treated. If this were true of them, it
be
would, in the minds of all generous men,

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Jassy says :—"The Jews of Mol-
davia recently demanded from the Porte permission
to purchase real property in Moldavia. The Grand
Vizier communicated the demand to the Hospodar,
and he submitted it to the Divan composed of
boyards. The Divan adopted a resolution, declaring
solemnly that neither the Porte nor any other power
has the right to interfere with the privileges of Mol-
davia, and that in no case can Israelites be allowed
to possess real property in the principality. This
resolution has been sent to Constantinople."

-whine. and compare the extent..a-their line with that of
the Sardinians, and declare they have simply been put
here to be well beaten, in order that the English and French
may have the glory of coming in at the last moment and
saving them. I heard these sentiments uttered no later
than yesterday evening by their best officer, who has, as
usual, been most foully ill-treated by the chief, who is one
of the few in all this host who, thanks to European origin
and education, fight for neither king nor kaiser, protocol
nor convention, but for their own good name, and he but
feebly represents Turkish opinion. As if to supply the
only thing that is wanting to turn bad morale into certain
defeat, Omer Pacha, while leaving Osman Pacha in the
chief command of the 15,000 Turkish troops, has given an
independent command and separate instructions ( talimat)
to each of the two brigadiers, Ali Pacha and Ismail Pacha,
so that we have now in the Crimea six generals•in•chief.
It is to Osman Pacha Generals Simpson and Pelissier look
for the safety of the right of the position; but, as he justly
remarks, he cannot be answerable for it were he ever so
well disposed, seeing that the two generals who bold the
key of it have orders from the Seidar-ekrem to retire when-
ever they like. What can have induced Omer Pacha to do
this lamat a loss to imagine. 1 would not repeat, could
I bring myself to believe it, the solution to the problem
circulated in the camp—that be simply wished to render
any triumph of the Turkish army in his absence impos-
sible. He has not yet arrived, though daily expected. His
going to Asia has been, it appears, decided at last. He will
take with him a considerable portion of the force at present
in the Crimea, and a large number of the English medical
staff attached to his army, who, it is to be hoped, will have
more practice there than here.

thinks that the moment for retaliation has
arrived. Even in our own country we see how
much will be quietly put up with in obedience
to authority by men of nations not wanting in
the highest courage and of the most fiery
spirit. In some of the Highland and Irish
clearings scenes have occurred of the most
hat rowing description; and in the poorer
parts of London such scenes may be daily
witnessed by any one who seeks for them.
Yet neither Briton nor Irishman is held de-
ficient in manly feeling because he bows
submissively to circumstances beyond his
power to control. The Seiks—the bravest
nation in Asia, and than which there is not a
braver perhaps in Europe—long bore the
oppressions of the Mahomedans who then
ruled the land. They equally oppressed the
Mahomedans when their own turn of supremacy
came, and the Mahomedans, consisting for the
most part of Affghans and other equally war-
like tribes, patiently submitted to the op-
pression. The Mahrattas, the cultivators of
Central Western India, for years submissive
under the tyranny of the Moguls, at last
rose up against it, and showed that for mili-
tary daring to them there were no men in the
world superior. Rajpoots and Rohillas have
equally had their day of triumph and humi-
liation ; so have the Mahomedans of Mysore,
and various other races once famous in arms,
but now sullenly submissive to our rule. The
whole history of India for centuries has
been one continued tale of war, conquest, and
successful rebellion against successive Thrones.
Yet there are some among us, and those high
in power, who dream that because we have
conquered the country, we have therefore
changed the very nature of the people, and
that they who have ever revolted against
other yokes which galled them will for ever
bear submissively our own. From an exag-
gerated sense of their own security and the
helplessness of those they governed, such
persons would rule India without the slightest
regard to the feelings of the natives. For our
parts, if the case were so, we should deem
such powerlessness to be an additional claim
for kindly and equitable treatment at our
hands ; but in this instance, as in all others,
the dictates of honour and those of interest
are the same. It will not less redound to our
profit than to our glory to show ourselves the
enlightened benefactors, instead of continuing
to be the sordid and grasping tax-gatherers
of the noble and magnificent empire of
Hindostan.

THE SANTHAI, INSURRECTION.
An overland mail has arrived, with dates from
Calcutta to the Uth and Bombay to the 13th of
August. The only news of importance relates to the
insurrection of the &intimls. On this subject a
letter from Calcutta of the 11th ult. states :

The Smiths' rebellion languishes ; the insurgents are
withdrawing to their fastnesses, making occasional raids
in small parties upon villages far away from the places in
which the troops are located, and they are reported to be
building stockades in the jungles north of the Idore River,
behind which they have retreated. The hill tribes—for the
Santhals are lowlanders, dwelling on the spurs of the Raj-
Mahal chain of the Vindliyan mountains—have not joined
in the outbreak, and are said to be determined not to
permit the rebels to take reflige in their country. If this
he correct, the reduction of the Stuithals will become a far
e isier task than was anticipated.
1 he army which is to take the field against the Santhals
has not been detailed, but as all officers on leave, and
several on staff employ, belonging to the 7th, Bth, 13th,
31st, 40th, 42nd, flOth, 58th, and 6314 Native Infantry, have
been ordered to join, there can be no doubt that all these
corps are to be employed. The I Ith Itegitnent of Irregular
Cavalry and a considerable amount of Artillery are also
gone, or going, to the BOWIe of the insurrection. At the

A large portion of the cotton made last season in
Louisiana was still lying on the banks of the rivers,
