"There is wonderful cleverness, humour, and drollery in this collection."—The Leader.
" A series of squibs, crackers, portraits, and imaginary conversations—chiefly political in interest—from the lighter columns
of the PRESS newspaper, one of the youngest and most dashing of our contemporaries."—The Athessalisi.
"In this little volume is gathered a selection of pungent and smartly-written pieces (prose and verse) which appeared in the
PRESS newspaper during the year 1813-4. There is a good deal of witty fire about them, and they chronicle small matters which
would otherwise have fallen into forgetfUlness and oblivion."—The Weekly Dispatch.
"This volume forms a smart handbook for the fireside. We have laughed outright at much in the book before us. and that is
saying not a little in its favour; by-and-bye we may quote from it for the delectation of our country friends."—The Field.

suddenly they felt an explcsion under the vessel's
bottom, which overthrew all the mesa tables and
forms on the lower deck, and broke no end of
crockery, besides bending an iron knee nearly double.
The signal was immediately made to the Firefly to
stop, but before she could do so another explosion
took place underneath her with similar effect. These
explosions were doubtless caused by infernal machines.
Certainly their first attempt was a failure, as only a
taw sheets of copper were knocked off the vessels, and
s)me slight damage done on board. I fancy we shall
have another look at them closer. Harrier (who has
just arrived from England), Firefly, and Driver are
gone to blockade the Gulf of Bothnia. Ajax goes
to Ledsund as a sort of corps de reserve. Squadron
are healthy. Bulldog has just arrived with the
mails. The Russians have, it appears, ten or eleven
steam gun-boats, but they take care not to come out.
Cossack has just anchored, I hear. Alas! all I told
you is too true. It was a mistake, the flag of truce
landing without being responded to; but our poor
fellows thought nothing was there. And that the
scoundrels should murder. instead of taking prisoners,
unarmed men, is too frightful to think of. It is to
be hoped that every civilised nation in Europe will
express their indignation at so foul a deed. Vulture
takes the mails. Magicienne has been firing shot
and shell into a Russian encampment of two or three
thousand men, and made them, as Paddy says,
4 move out of that."

THE PRESS.

GREYS, and Russimui to hold office not for a
term merely, but for their lifetime. One must
suppose them virtually irremovable by the
Crown, and really unmoveable by Parliament.
One must suppose their Parliament, like the
Court of Proprietors, to meet on only four
days in the year, and each time for only a
couple of hours. One must suppose them to
be themselves the makers of the law, and the
nominators of its Ministers, and to have the
power of removing those Ministers at pleasure.
One must suppose them empowered to appoint
their sons and nephews as magistrates and
judges the moment they leave Harrow, though
they may have no earthly knowledge of law
whatever. One must imagine them, in fine, to
have the patronage of every office in the
State, fixing the number and salaries of those
offices at pleasure, and to use that patronage
entirely and avowedly for their own and their
relatives' aggrandisement. One must fancy
them, moreover, to be themselves the only
tribunal to apply to in cases of complaints
against these relatives for malversation, cor
ruption, or incapacity. That is the position
which one must fancy the Whig families to
hold in England, in order to understand what
the Directorial families are to India. It is
true that the patronage of the medical service,
and of the regular civil service, has been cut
off from them by the late India Bill, but it is
clear that they do not yet despair of regaining
this, while the whole military, and naval, and
ecclesiastical, and uncovenanted civil service
appointments remain in their hands to do as
they please with ; and these and the civil
engineer appointments for India have in-
creased so vastly within these two years as
almost, if not entirely, to compensate them for
the patronage they have lost. The gift of all
the contracts for India remains in their hands
also, and the gains on those are understood
to be enormous.

Lord PALM KRSTON, on the part of her
Majesty's Government, has avowed his
acceptance of, and his intention practi
tally to carry out, the principle laid down in
Sir BULWER LYrrox's "Administrative Reform"
amendment, which is, that the paramount
object in the distribution of patronage should
be "to secure to the service of the State the
" largest available proportion of the energy
" and intelligence for which the people of this
" country are distinguished." That principle
thus laid down by the Opposition, accepted by
Government, and affirmed by the almost
unanimous voice of the House of Commons, is
the principle which the Premier has declared
his intention of abiding by in his Ministe-
rial career. Whether he means honestly and
truly to fulfil the pledge which he has thus
publicly given, it is impossible for us at this
moment to tell ; but one thing we are sure of,
which is that he could not give the world a
better proof of his being in earnest than by
proceeding at once to deal effectually with the
monstrous abuses involved in the present sys-
tem of dispensing the patronage and super-
vising the contracts for India.

Sir EDWARD LrrroN to the Commons, and ac-
cepted by the Government to avoid a defeat.
A Minister may properly consult the feeling
of Parliament on questions which come before
it. Constituted as the House of Commons
now is, it would be impossible to conduct 1,1301
Government on other terms. But the clues.
tions he accepts from the Legislature he
should accept honestly, with the full intentiog
of giving them effect, got wide gig view
cushioning them after saving himself from
defeat by their acceptance. On principles of
vital moment he should have some opinion of
his own, and should disdain to have his policy
ksbitimily diew.e4 to We* by his oppotteute.
On these three great questions the Opposi-
tion have made a stand. The Committee has
successfully prosecuted its inquiry. The
Vienna Conference, after two years of vexatious
• trifling, is at an end. The principle that merit
should be passport to promotion in the ser-
vice of the State is conceded. These are the
objeuts achieved by the Opposition this
session. The Government may have been
annoyed and damaged by the debates upon
them, but it would be difficult to show
that the objects themselves are not worthy
the attention of statesmen, and are nut bene-
ficial to the public.

THE Prince of Wales steamer was passing Margate
Sands during a violent gale last Sunday afternoon,
when it was seen that a vessel had foundered on the
shallows. Notwithstanding the violence of the storm,
Captain Williams rounded, and after lunch esertion
succeeded in saving every life. The vessel was the
French brig Phoque, Captain Metarine, bound from
Sunderland to Nantes.'
WE regret to state that Mr. George Curzon, heir
presumptive to the Barohy of Scarsdale, and cousin
of the Earl Howe, met with an accident in Hyde-
park on Saturday, which tertaiaated fatally. The
unfortunate gentleman was riding in the park, and
when endeavouring to pass by two carriages, his
horse became restive and threw him on Iris head. Re
was immediately conveyed to St. Georges Hospital,
when his case was at once pronounced hopeless. Mr.
Curzon lingered for a few hours, but died early on
Sunday morning. The deceased was eldest son of
the late Hon. and Rev. Alfred Curzon, brother of
Lord Scarsdale, and was born sth October, 1826.
THE transport Imperatrice, which sunk in the
Gulls, near Margate, on the sth inst., still remains
with her mastheads above water in the narrow part
of the channel. The divers have saved the greater
part of the Minis rifles and army clothing that were
on board, and with favorable weather will save the
whole, also 0,000 shells, and about 100 tons of
powder; but it is a work of great labour and risk.
When the cargo is out they will endeavour to weigh
the vessel, which is estimated at Itt,ooo/. value, as
she was quite new. About forty cases addressed to
officers in the Crimea, containing uniforms and other
necessaries, have also been landed. On their being
opened they were found, notwithstanding they were
mostly packed in tin and soldered up, to be thoroughly
saturated with salt water.
IT is said that certain corn-merchants of
mingbam and Gloucester have lost at Berdi
50,000 quarters of wheat, on which they redone to
turn a pretty penny, having bought the lot at s.
per quarter, but the amount of *Welt must no be
reckoned a total loss, as the *hole bee been bend
or taken by the allies.

FRIDA.T EVENINO.
THa Consol Market has been dull during the week,
the transactions being very limited in extent and
prices drooping. No material alteration in the
quotations was, however, marked up to the close of
business yesterday, the depreciatory effects pro-
duced by the reports of another loan in France
having been recovered to a considerable degree.
Prices had ranged from 911 to 1 on the previous day,
and left off on Thurday at 911. ex. div. for the opening
on the 10th of July. This morning the unfavorable
tenor of the telegraphic despatches received at the
War-office, announcing that the allies had received a
serious check before Sebastopol, led to a fall of
nearly 1 per cent. Consols opened at 901 I, but
subsequently experienced a partial rally, and later
transactions were rated at 904, with a steady market.
Reduced Thi ee per Cents. were done at 911 ; New
Three per Cents., 911 ; Bank Stock, 2111; New Ter-
minable Annuities, 18 15-10tha ; India Stock for Ac-

count, 235; Exchequer Bills, 12s. 17s. prem. ; Ditto
Advertised, 10s. 14s. prem.; Exchequer Bonds, 1001.
On Tuesday the third instalment of 101. per cent.
on the new loan fell due, and the payment was
effected without difficulty. The nominal amount was
1,600,0001, but more than half of that sum had been
prepaid by the holders of scrip. The next instal-
meut becomes due on the 17th of July, and being for
15 per cent. will require 2,40.1,0001. Since the
liquidation of the instalment the price of the Ona-
nium has remained firm, though the quotations de-
clined this morning, along with Consols, and have
been marked to-day at 31 to 41 prem.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1855.

MORE than once during the session Lord JOHN
RUSSELL has, with characteristic spitefulness,
charged the Opposition with faction, and in-
sinuated that it was ready to rejoice in national
disasters if they damaged the Ministry. The
charge has been duly caught up out of doors,
and we have heard much of discussing momen-
tous public questions in a party spirit, and
of endeavouring to turn every change in the
fortune of the war and in the politics of
Europe to party purposes. Let us see to
what all this accusatory talk amounts.
An Opposition must, from the duties im-
posed on it under a constitutional system like
ours, be peculiarly exposed to the charge of
faction. It is its office to narrowly watch the
conduct of Government, to criticise its acts,
scrutinise its measures, suspect its intentions,
oppose whatever seems likely to prove injurious
in its principles or course, and make manifest
its deficiencies. But it must be careful to
separate the interests of the country—which it
is equally bound to forward with the Adminis-
tration itself—from the interests of that Ad-
ministration. It must not attempt to wound
the occupants of office through the public
service, for that would be to betray its office.
Opposition to the Government in the interest
of the country is patriotism ; opposition to the
Government against the interest of the country
is faction, unmitigated, revolting faction;
sacrificing the good of the State to what is
shortsightedly conceived to be for the benefit
of the politician. Under which of those two
heads may the conduct of the Opposition this
session fairly be classed ?

Now, in the first place it is to be remarked
that the Opposition, so far as regards any
measures necessary to the public service are
concerned, has been no Opposition at all. A
loan of sixteen millions was sanctioned in six-
teen minutes ; new taxes were imposed without
a remonstrance; whatever men and supplies
were.demanded were voted without question. ,
Even negotiations—though on this point Par-
liament might salutarily exercise greater vigi-
lance than it seems disposed to do—were un-
criticised while in progress. The Executive
requires large discretionary powers for the due
discharge of its functions, and it has had them.
Extending our view back a little beyond the
present session, we find that the Government
planned and executed the invasion of the
Crimea without control, and that it sanc-
tioned the occupation of the Principalities
by Austria almost strange as it may
seem—without a question being asked. Even
in the recent negotiations with Russia, the

THE HANGO MASSACRE.

A conversation on this sad affair in the Lords on
Thursday brought out from the Government an ex-
planation of the course they had pursued since the
intelligence arrived. The Earl of MaLtizsaurty, after
saying that it was the interest of every Government
in Europe that the offenders should be visited with
condign punishment, inquired what course her Ma-
jesty's Government intended to pursue.
The Earl Of CI.LREWUON replied that the outrage
was so horrible and infamous, and so utterly at
variance with the laws of civilised nations, that he
was compelled to believe that the perpetrators could
not have acted upon the instructions of their supe-
riors—it was rather the brutal act of some un-
authorised subordinate. As soon as ho had received
information of the transaction, he had addressed the
papers containing an account of it to our Minister at
Copenhagen, and instructed him to request the influ-
ence of the Danish Government that the outrage
might be brought under tae notice of that of Russia,
adding that unless that latter Government took some
steps to mark their sense of its brutality it would
justify severe reprisals.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUOR suggested that Admiral
Dundas, acting on his own suggestion, might probably
have addressed representations to the Russian autho•
rides.

Earl GRANVILLE remarked that even if such was
the case a double communication would do no harm.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said that if the Russian
Government attAuxipt4d to defend so atrocious an act,
or to evade its responuibility, it would be our duty to
apply to every Government in alliance with us, and
every civilised people, to unite in a protest against
the conduct of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg.

OUR FLOATING BATTERIES.

THE first floating battery was tried this week at
Sheerness, and made such an essential mess of her
trial that as yet no opinion can be given of her capa-
bilities beyond the fact that she would neither steer,
wear, nor stay under steam or canvas ; that she
rolled heavily in smooth water, and would certainly
go to the bottom in a heavy sea; that she broke her
donkey engine, and nearly burst her boilers in con-
sequence ; and finally, with fires out and boilers
empty, was towed ingloriously by a tug steamer, and
rescued from all further danger to herself or others
by being lashed alongside a dockyard hulk.

We have the best authority for contradicting the
statement which has lately been made public, that
there is at present any probability of lineal transmis-
sion of the Crown of France.

Mn. BUSBY, the wealthy Dublin distiller, dropped
dead on Thursday week while preparing to attend the
funeral of his friend, Mr. Arthur Guinness, the
eminent brewer.
THE RIGHT HON. SIDNEY HERBERT has been ad-
vised by his medical attendant to abstain from all
public business for a time, in order to recruit his
health, for which purpose he is now on a tour in
Scotland.

A RErmur moved for by Mr. Oliveira, M.P., shows
that the total quantity of foreign wines in bond in
the United Kingdom on the sth day of April last
amounted to 11,254,066 gallons, of which 171,863
were imported from South Africa, 730,404 from
France 5,601,437 from Portugal, 3,849,006 from
Spain, 24,995 from Madeira, 49,568 from Holland,
21,465 from the Canaries, 2,891 from the Azores,
265,600 from Naples and Sicily, 838,731 from other
parts, and 398,626 from various countries, mixed in
bond.

ALL accounts from the Highland moors concur in
the assurance that there will be a full average stock
of grouse this season. No traces of the disease which
formerly committed such ravages have yet been ob-
served among the old birds.

THE PRESS.

know what was due to them. Urgent instructions
had been given to the paymasters of the different
regiments, requiring the transmission of the neces-
sary information.
Mr. LINDSAY, in calling attention to the transport
service, defended himself against the attacks of
Mr. Drummond in a previous debate, and the charge
made by Admiral Berkeley, that his statements at
the Drury Lane meeting were "virulent untruths."
He supported those statements by reading orders of
the Government, sanctioning the blunders of which
he had complained ; and adduced further evidence
of their blunders from their incorrect returns and
otherwise.
Sir C. WOOD, after reflecting on Mr. Lindsay
having made his statements against the Government
when none of its members could answer him, replied
to his statements in detail, vindicating the procedure
of the Administration in each particular, and retort-
ing upon Mr. Lindsay his own mismanagement of
his arrangements with it, observing that the Govern-
ment was less responsible for the transport service
than any other. He argued that where it had the
entire control the loss was very small.
After some further remarks of no importance from
Admiral BERKELEY and one or two other members,
the motion for adjournment was agreed to.
The house then went into committee on the Scotch
Education Bill.

Some hours were spent in discussing the clauses of
the measure. At half-past twelve the Chairman was
ordered to report progress. The house then re-
sumed, and, after disposing of the other orders of the
day, adjourned at one o'clock.

SHARES.

The Share Market was heavy early in the week,
and underwent a further depression to-day, in con-
sequence of the fall in the funds. The last fluctua-
tions, however, show signs of improvement.llllll

FOREIGN.

The transactions in Foreign Stocks have been few
and unimportant. Some depression was occasioned
by the commencement of a new French loan, which
it is believed will amount to twenty or twenty-five
millions sterling. Turkish Bonds continue in de-
mand, and were done this afternoon at 801 to 811
for the account of the 29th.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—FainAy.

DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
The Earl of CLARENDON rose amidst profound
silence, and said—My lords, I think it my duty to
inform your lordships of he contents of a tele-
graphic despatch which I received half an hour ago
from her Majesty's Minister at the Hague:—
The Emperor of Russia died this morning between
12 and 1 o'clock, of apoplexy, after an attack of iuflu•
enaa.
London, England, 1855-03-03

THE PRESS.

I have also, my lords, received a despatch from Ber-
lin, informing me of the death of the Emperor of
Russia. An hour before this despatch arrived, I re-
ceived an account from Lord John Russell, who is at
Berlin, stating that the Emperor of Russia was at
the point of death, and that he had already taken
leave of his family. I apprehend, therefore, that al-
though this event occurred at so late a time as between
12 and 1 this morning, there can be no doubt of
the authenticity of the information. Under there
circumstances, as this unexpected event must
exercise an important and immediate influence on
the war, and upon the negotiations for peace, and
possibly upon the policy of Russia, I think that my
noble and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst) will agree
with me that it might be attended with much incon-
venience if he persevered in bringing forward his
motion, of which he had given notice. I therefore
trust, upon public grounds, that my noble friend will
accede to the request which I now make, namely,
that he would postpone his motion.
Lord LYNDHURST : My lords, after the statement of
my noble friend, I feel it is my duty not to proceed
with the motion of which 1 have given notice in re-
ference to our relations with Prussia. But I beg to
state that I shall not withdraw it, but merely post-
pone it till a future opportunity.
Lord LUCAN then stated that he had demanded a
court-martial, and read some correspondence on the
subject of his conduct, upon which Earl GRANVILLE
said he should at present offer no comment.

prosecutor. District agents are to be appointed in fur-
therance of the act.
