RUSSIA.

Accounts from St. Petersburg have been pub-
lished in Vienna, stating that the Emperor Alex-
ander may shortly be expected in the southern
districts of his dominions, and that it is not impos-
sible that he may seize the opportunity for paying a
visit to the Crimea and Sebastopol. The immediate
object of his journey is the inspection of the army
and the several works of defence bordering upon the
waters of the Black Sea. Upon his return, it is
generally thought that he will visit the fortresses of
Poland, and take up his residence for a few days in
the city of Warsaw. The Emperor dedicates almost
the whole of his time to military affairs.

A correspondent of the 4ugsburg Gazette, dating,
"from the Polish frontier, July 6," enumerates the
Russian troops now on their way from Poland to the
Crimea, having been set free by the declared " ex-
pectant policy" of Austria. He says :--

llThe order of the day issued by Prince Gortschakoff on
the 19th of June to the garrison of Sebastopol is con-
sidered important here. It announces that the reinforce-
ments sent from Poland will very shortly make their
appearance in the Crimea. The reinforcements in ques-
tion consist of 24,000 grenadiers, who, together with the
guards, form the Elite of the Russian army, and will de•
cidedly not fail to produce a great moral effect on the
troops now serving in the Crimea. Besides the grenadiers,
there are also eight complete regiments of infantry now
on their march from Poland to the Crimea, and their
strength is 32,000 men. The grenadier corps and these
eight regiments of the 2nd infantry corps will each
be accompanied by a body of 4,000 cavalry, and artillery
in proportion ; thus the kingdom of Poland alone sends
a reinforcement of picked men, 70,000 strong to the
Crimea.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1855.

THE division on Thursday night will, of course.
be treated by the Government officials as

triumph and as a proof of confidence ; but wo
are persuaded that neither Lord PALMERSTO!
nor any one conversant with party tactics i,

the House of Commons views it really in an:
such light. The motion was Mr. ROEBUCK

motion; he sustained it admirably, and is wel
entitled to the thanks of the country fo►
having brought it forward. Still, it was
Mr. Roebuck's motion; and it cannot be denied
that there were several considerations in,
volved in it which naturally disposed som,
among the Conservatives to hesitate in sly

porting it. It related to bygone transactions,
and was represented as conveying a personal
censure, amounting to ostracism, upon honour
able men. We do not admit the force or
.justik.
of the argument ; but, such as it was, it was
calculated to create a feeling, we might call
a prejudice, against the motion. The amen,

merit was picoposed and seconded by an
avowed member of the Opposition. General
PEEL, the mover of the amendment, went the
length of declaring that he was ready to join
in a direct vote of want of confidence, and
that he thought the time was come when Lord
DERBY ought to be called upon to form a
Government. The amendment itself implied
a modified censure upon the Government. We
are not aware of a case until now in which, on
a vote of censure, the Government had re-
course to the miserable expedient of supporting
the previous question—moved, not by a friend,
but by an avowed political opponent. These
two considerations naturally influenced many
Conservatives, inducing them to prefer a
modified expression of disapproval as regards
Government, rather than a direct censure,
affecting not only Lord PALMERSTON and Sir
GEORGE GREY, but extending itself to Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. GLADSTONE, and Mr. S.
HERBERT, who had already voluntarily sub •
mitted themselves to the penalty of their
Ministerial delinquencies. Under this im-
pression, we find some of the most consistent
members of Lord DERBY'S party voting for the
previous question :—Lord BARRINGTON, Lord
CHELSEA, the EGERTONS, Mr HORSFALL, Mr.
LIDDELL, Mr. TOLLEMACHE, Mr. REPTON, Sir
JOHN WALSH, Lord ROBERT CECIL. With such
men voting against Ml. ROEBC:X'S motion, the
division certainly cannot, under the circum-
stances we have stated, be considered either
as a Ministerial or as a party triumph.
And the debate ! We scarcely remember a
debate more damaging to a Government
Those on the Treasury bench, from the Pre-
mier down to that wretched clique who excited
their patron, actually shrank under the in-
dignant denunciations of Mr. BRIGHT. Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, too, gave expression to Opi-
nions respecting his late' colleagues, not, we
think, calculated to make them feel comfort-
able in their seats ; while Mr. DISRAELI and
Mr. WHITZBIDE exposed the miserable and

Business in Shares has been limited, and prices
exhibited much flatness. Some of the heavy Stocks
are lower to-day, in consequence of the slight ad-
vance shown in the returns of traffic as compared
with the corresponding week last year.

FRIDAY EVZNINO.
THE Consol Market lhas maintained a languid
aspect throughout the week. Speculation continues
to be very restricted, and prices have drooped
slightly, nothing but the abundance of money ap-
pearing to prevent a more decided fall. As it is, the
range of fluctuation has been extremely limited, the
extreme prices on either side being 903 and 91.
The resignation of Lord John Russell was announced
on Saturday last, and produced a temporary depres-
sion of only a quarter per cent, which was partially
recovered before the close of business that day.
The market has since been dull, with a marked
scarcity of operations either speculative or for actual
transfer. An instalment of 15 per cent. on the loan
of 16,000,0001. fell payable on Tuesday, but prepara-
tions had been made for it in advance, and the
Money Market consequently maintained a very quiet
appearance. It is understood also that a consider-
able proportion of the next instalment of 10 per
cent., which falls due on the 21st of August, has
already been paid in anticipation.
Yesterday Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. gave
notice that they have reduced their rate for money
at call from 2f per cent. to 2i. This step, imme-
diately following the announcement regarding the
interest on India Bonds, has tended to increase the
feeling of ease in the Money Market.
According to statements which have been put
forward, the supplemental estimates to be laid
before the house will not exceed four millions ster•
ling, and, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
his Budget, took a margin of three millions sterling,
the only necessity imposed on Government will be
that of making a further limited ussue of Exchequer
Bills.

This afternoon the Funds were slightly firmer. At
one time there were buyers at 911, but the quotations
afterwards relapsed to their former level, 901 91,
both for money and the August account. Reduced
Three per Cents. were 911; New Three per Cents.,
921. India Bonds, 355. prem. Exchequer Bills,
229. to 255. prem, for the June bills, and 19s. to 22s

FRANCE.

The Emperor Napoleon lia;decided that the sums
which are annually given by the State to celebrate
the 15th of August shall be dedicated this year to the
support of the families of the soldiers who have died
in the East.
This decision, says the Moniteur, will be followed
by a more general measure, by which his Majesty
wishes to associate the whole of the country in pre•
sensing next session a law for increasing the pension
granted at present to the widows of the officers and
soldiers killed before the enemy.
The following is given as an account of the efforts
already made by France to sustain the pending war.
When the complete conscription of 1855 will have
been called up it will form, with those of 1854 and
1853, a number of 420,000, to which add the half-
contingency of 1852, 1851, 1850, 1849, forming
160,000 men. Deducting the killed, wounded, &c.,
France will thus have put and retained tinder arms
in the space of three years an army of 550,000
men.

AFRICA.

Cape of Good Hope papers have arrived to the
12th ult. inclusive. The Parliament had been pro-
rogued by Sir G. Grey on the 7th. The colony was
tranquil. Several respectable houses had failed, and
fear was entertained that others would follow. A
large proportion of the mining companies had be-
ccme defunct, and it bad been found in every case
that much more capital would be required than had
been originally supposed. In consideration of this
circumstance it was expected that at the next meeting
of the colonial Parliament the leases at the various

"centres" would be extended from fifteen to thirty
or even fifty years. ,

An expedition sent in her Majesty's steamer the
Teazer, to compel the chief, Bamho Munich Lake, to
fulfil the treaty entered into between him and Com-
mander Selwyn, of the steam-sloop Prometheus, in
which the chief promised to pay an indemnity of
1,030 dollars for injury done to the British, is stated
to have failed. In this affair we have lost two officers
killed Lieutenant Wylie and Acting Paymaster
Andrews, of the :fewer; and two seamen. Lieutenant
Nicolas, in command of the Tearer, and Lieutenant
Vincent, 2nd West India Regiment, were severely,
and Lieutenant Dielleth, Sierra Leone Militia,
slightly wounded. Mr. Frith, deputy-assistant-com-

POSTSCRIPT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY.

Lord LYNDFIURST complained that important mea-
sures of legal and other reforms had been aban-
doned in the present session.
The Lord CHANCELLOR entered into the rea.scms
why some of these bills had not passed, adverting
to the inattention of the Commons to bills originating
in their lordships' house.
Lord BROUGHAM, on presenting a petition, animad-
verted on the continued atrocities of the slave trade,
especially with regard to Cuba.
Lord CLARENDON observed that the subject was so
difficult as to defy perfect remedy.
Some formal business was transacted, and the
house adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
Sir G. GREY stated that it was not intended to
proceed with the Assizes and Sessions Bill this
session.
The LORD ADVOCATE stated, in reply to a question,
that it was not his intention to introduce a Scotch
Education Bill this session, in place of that rejected
by the Lords.
In answer to Mr. G. DUNDAS,
The CHANCELLOR of the Excamount said that a
commission to inquire into the subject of decimal
coinage, would be issued forthwith. It was not in-
tended to inquire into weights and measures.
In answer to questions from Mr. LAYARD,
Lord PALMERSTON said that the Governments of
England, France, and Austria were now free to
any conditions they chose with reference to Moldavia
and Wallachia. The leading principle was, to do
away with the exclusive interference of Russia.
What was to be substituted for it, it must be left to
time to determine A commission was now sitting
at Visnna, not for the purpose of deciding points of
government, but of inquiring into alleged grievances
of the inhabitants of the provinces. The omission
of Sir C. Napier from the late distribution of honour
was due solely to himself. He had been offered the
Grand Cross of the path, and had declined it.

THE PRESS.

classed under the several heads of history and
biography, travels, poetry, fiction, &c., is critically
considered; most of the books, however, as the last
volume of " Alison's Europe " and the " Life of Sydney
Smith," being too severely handled, their substantial
merits being overlooked, while trifling defects and
faults are eagerly seized on. The style of the notices
is somewhat en amateur—smart and confident, often
acute, but wanting in depth and critical sagacity.
It is scarcely fair to pick the plums out from an
attractive book, and then dismiss it with a few con-
temptuous words. The best notices are those which
have least pretension, and which are written rather
with the view of giving readers a fair account of the
book under notice than to show off the critic's
cleverness.

not come to my mind." He accepted the previous
question, as in accordance with the incompleteness
of the evidence of the committee.
Mr. DISRAELI said that the committee was essen-
tially a people's committee. After a protected dis-
cussion a division was come to, and the noble lord
took the unauthorised course of denying its conclu-
sions, and the value of its researches. He should
have met the committee boldly, calling on the house
to declare that it had not done its duty fairly, that
it had misled the country, and poisoned the public
mind. The noble lord accused of party motives a motion
brought forward by one who a few weeks ago bad
voted in favour of the existence of his Government.
The gravity of the question should have precluded
such a subterfuge as that of the previous question.
The noble lord had then, as at other times, made
great professions. He appealed to General Evans as
to the manner in which those professions were
realised. He blushed to think of the probable
result of the division, in the face of a whole country
intent upon their proceedings.
After a short reply from Mr. ROEBUCK, the house
divided, and decided that "the question should not
now be put," by 289 to 182-107.

FRENCH EXHIBITION OF P &INTINOS,
Pax-MALL

THE picture of the "Horse Fair" by Rosa Bonhenr,
now exhibiting at this gallery, is a very remarkable
painting. It is not saying too much to admit that
very rarely is a mere representation of animal life
painted with such vitality, so perfect in form and
grouping, so harmonious in colour, and so excellent
in general effect.
The subject is the "Horse Fair," at Paris, and the
immediate matter, groups of cart stallions being
brought up to the post. The central group includes
a man mounted on a dark-brown stallion, which is
rearing up with savage obstinacy, while the led horse
—with ears down and head forward—is evidently
on the qui rive for mischief. On the lett
of this couple, and a little in advance, is a magnifi-
cent white horse, plunging furiously ; while further
on two huge grey stallions are seen in full trot
for the picket. On the right of the first couple,
and in the rear, a noble, broad-chested dun horse
is coming up quietly, led by a man who is smiling at
the troubles of his companion on the brown horse ;
while the background is filled in with led and
mounted horses, in all attitudes and action,—con-
eluding a scene perfect for truth and effect.
It is high praise, but not exaggerated, to say that
this picture is well worthy the study of all artists
and amateurs. The drawing is so correct, and
the story so well told; while the vigour and
animation of some of the groups contrasts ad-
mirably with the easy repose of the others. The
grouping is excellent, and the lights so cleverly
managed, as to bring out the central group in bold
relief. The bead of the dun horse on the left is
perfect for expression—the fire in his eye, and the

animation of hia face as be sniffs at the led horse
on his near side, is very finely painted indeed, but
yet scarcely superior to any other pact of the picture.
The near hind-leg of the offside grey horse looks a
little too long, and has a strained appearance at first
sight; but it is quite correct in drawing and propor-
tion. Upon the whole this picture may be fairly
pronounced to be one of the finest animal groups
painted in prance or exhibited in this country.
bldlle. Rosa Bonheur, the fair artiste, possesses
a high reputation in Paris. She has consolidated it
in London, and the excitement which her picture has
caused among lovers of art is but a jut tribute to
her talent. A. brilliant conversazione was held at the
gallery on Monday evening, which was attended by
many of fbe nobility and artists.

AUSTRIA.

General Letang, the French Military Commissary,
left Vienna on Sunday on his return to Paris.
Fresh differences that have broken out between
the Emperor Alexander and his brother the Grand
Duke Constantine are said to be the occasion of the
Prince of Prussia's journey to St. Petersburg.
It is understood that the negotiation recently
opened with the Austrian Government by Messrs.
Rothschild, Laing, Uzielli, and others, for the pur-
chase of the whole of the Lombardo-Venetian rail-
ways has been broken off on account of a wide dif-
ference of view between these gentlemen and the
Vienna Cabinet as to the price that should be paid
for them.

THE PREMISES OF MESSRS. BARBER ♦ND CO.,
jewellers, of No. 56, Cheapside, were burglariously
entered by thieves on Monday, and a large quantity
of gold watches and other jewellery, amounting to
upwards of 2,0001., was carried away. The thieves
succeeded in gaining an entrance by passing through
the adjoining house, in the occupation of Messrs.
Cunningham and Allen, the hatters.

A LARGE PORTION of the cliff between Kent-terrace
and the Augusta-stairs, Ramsgate, containing about
250 tons' weight of chalk, fell, on the 18th inst., with
scarcely any warning sound, and buried beneath the
dibris four outhouses used by the men of the Coast
Guard station for culinary purposes. Fortunately
there was no one at the time passing the road. Some
heavy pieces of chalk fell upon the inhabited houses
of the station, but no damage was done.
FOR several hours on Tuesday morning a most de-
structive fire raged in Milton-street, Fore-street, Crip-
plegate, exciting the utmost consternation throughout
that neighbourhood, which is principally inhabited
by very poor persons, and causing a very great de-
struction of property. The premises in which the
flames were first discovered were very extensive, and
in the occupation of Messrs. Gibbs, soap-manufactu-
rers. These premises were almost totally destroyed,
and several houses in Hanover, Butler, and other
courts severely damaged.

"Is there more literary credit in writing
" a history like Flume's England ' or one
" like the ' Decline and Fall' ?" was. a
question discussed in those select coteries
described by Thomas Moore in his diary. It
is a good topic for debate, as there are more
issues involved in it than are at first apparent.
Hume had extraordinary depth of thought.
and an originality of observation, which
teaches a statesman, while the charm of his
easy style rivets a common reader. Greatly
inferior to Gibbon in scholarship, Hume in
acuteness, originality, and breadth of view is
second to no historian of any age, and what
Gibbon gains by the wider range of his vast
subject is compensated for in Hume by the in-
tensity of power which always belongs to a
Isaiional historian. It would be easier, how-
ever, to produce a history that might surpass
" Hume's England" than to execute a work
`hat could rival the " Decline and Fall ; " but,
n the other hand, while Gibbon is always at
•e full measure of his strength, every chapter
Hume suggests that the author could do
more, and reminds us that its writer was
of the most influential philosophers of the
teenth century. Thus the question of
riority between these famous historians
so easily solved as might be supposed.
urning from these considerations to the
4 Gibbon, we must proceed to the im-
edition before us. We have here its

TURKEY.

The Duke of Newcastle arrived on the 15th inst.
at the Golden Horn, from Trieste. Mr. Forbes
Campbell on the same day reached Constantinople
in order to carry out an important financial opera-
tion.

The Arabs of the pachalic of Tripoli havo revolted.
A body of Turkish troops sent against them were
driven back into the city with a loss of from 1,700 to
2,000. The rebels were headed by the chief Gouma,

THE PRESS.

who, at the head of 15,000 determined men, with
fourteen pieces of cannon taken from the Turks, de-
signed to besiege Tripoli, which is without means of
defence.

Gourma is an Arab chief, and represents the
nationality of the native Arab tribes, as opposed to
the existing Government, which owes feudal homage
to the Sultan. On account of his peculiar opinion he
was held in Trebizoude for many years as a hostage,
but, escaping lately, was received with acclamations
in his native land, where, taking advantage of th
death of the late Pacha of Tunis, he has raised the
standard of rebellion.

Her Majesty's steamer Inflexible has been ordered
to Tripoli from Malta to protect British subjects and
property. A French steamer has also been despatched
thither.

The rurootu in circulation at Constantinople of the
death of Schsmyl, the Circassian chief, has neither
been confirmed nor contradicted. A letter from
Vienna states that, by one report he had met his
death by accident ; but by another that he had been
murdered by his troops, who believed that, since the
Czar had set at liberty Schamyl's son, who was in
course of education at St. Petersburg, the Circassian
chief had been playing into the hands of Russia by
secret communication.
