bishop—and by him Irving was reordained an
angel or priest on the 6th of April, 1833. Of
Irving's system Mr. Wilks seems on the whole
to approve ; but we doubt if he has examined
its origin very deeply. He discusses the
question which has been sometimes agitated
as to whether Irving would have become a
Roman Catholic, and decides it in the nega•
tire. So far we agree with him ; but we think
it probable that if he had lived some five or
six years longer without going mad he would
have ended his days in the communion of the
Church of England. It was the absence of
vitality in her which made Irving what he
was ; but in the very same year which wit-
nessed his separation from the Presbyterians
began that wondrous revival of Church princi-
ples which, though pushed into extremes by
many, has been as an anchor of salvation to
more. Here both Irving and Wesley would
have found a place of rest, and let us hope
that many future Irvings and Wesleys may.

TURKEY.

By letters from Constantinople of the 29th ult. we
learn that it is rumoured the Sultan has expressed
to his Ministers his desire of visiting Paris and
London in the spring of 1850.
The Turkish Government has finally come to
terms with the loan commissioners, with whom a
serious quarrel had arisen relating to the use of the
money by the Turkish authorities. The Seraskier
has pledged his word of honour that the money will
be exclusively expended for the energetic prosecu-
tion of the war.
A letter from Constantinople of the 25th says :
The same calm as before continues in diplomatic affairs,
yet that does not prevent intrigues from going on as usual.
Lord Stratford has received from Lord Chu endon a letter,
in which his conduct in recent affairs connected with this
Government is severely blamed. People still talk of his
renal, and if be is still at Constantinople it is because his
Government desired to place him in a position to tender
his resignation, and that is precisely what he does not
appear disposed to do. He must set great value on his
embassy, as all the checks he has recently met with, one
following the other quickly, ought to have made him
resign. It is a very trying time for a man of his arrogant
character to pass through.
The Ottoman Government have at length adopted
a measure long required, viz., that of erecting on the
coasts of Asia and Europe a chain of lighthouses
from the Dardanelles to the Black Sea. The in-
formation lately afforded to the Porte by the
Western powers that circumstances might render the
march of French and English troops into the prin-
cipalities necessary, had given rise to a lively and
somewhat unpleasant diplomatic correspondence
between the Austrian Government and the Porte.
In the convention made between Austria and the
Sublime Porte on the 14th of June, 1854, it was not
stipulated that the imperial troops ehould have an
exclusive right to occupy the Danubian principali-
ties, and there is no other separate agreement be-
tween the powers in question which in any way inter-
feres with the conditions of the treaty concluded
between England, France, and Turkey, on the 12tb
of March, 1854.
An announcement in the Austrian Gasettt of Wed.

DENMARK.

The question of the Sound dues still excites a con-
siderable amount of discussion at Copenhagen. A
Cabinet Council was held at Copenhagen on the Ist
inst., and the final policy of Denmark decided on.
Russia, it is stated, had offered her mediation, and
proposed, as an adjustment of the difficulties, that
Denmark should cede her island of St. Thomas to
the United States for the sum of five millions of
dollars, and total exemption of American ships and
cargo from the future payment of the Sound dues.
To this proposal Denmark is said to have de-
murred, out of consideration to the Western
powers, to whom such an acquisition of terri-
tory on the part of the Americans, so close to
their own West Indian possessions, cannot be
d
Negotiations, it is stated, are at this moment
going on between our Government and Denmark for
the establishment of a submarine telegraph between
the coast of England and Jutland. Denmark is,
however, desirous, before coming to any decision, to
have the question of the telegraphic communications
between herself and Prussia finally settled. A
Danish commissioner is expected to arrive shortly at
Berlin to arrange the matter with the Prussian Go-
vernment.

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1855.

Ar length it appears to be generally admitted
that if Peace be not practicable now, it will not
be practicable for many years to come. There
are political situations which do not admit of
pacific arrangement : a way of passage is to be
won through them only at the sword's point.
If the next campaign is to be opened by the
Allies for the conquest of the Crimea, it will be
impossible for them to retreat until their
object is attained. Peace then could not be
thought of except on terms which would
degrade, dishonour, and dismember the
Russian empire.
Peace is practicable now, for the very reason
that those persons who are bent on prose-
cuting the War at all hazards declare that it
ought not now to be concluded. We have
gained no such decided advantages over the
enemy as woull entitle us to go beyond the
original objects of the War. The Allies have
established the superiority of their arms. and
made good a solid footing on the soil of
Russia; but they cannot yet pretend to treat
it as a conquered country. If it be indispen-
sable to Peace that we should have our foe at
our feet, then undoubtedly the time for nego-
tiation has not yet come. But if we adhere to
the policy of prosecuting hostilities for the
definite and solid settlement of the Eastern
Question, then the present time seems favor-
able to the conclusion of Peace, as the Allies
would limit their demands to objects which,
as we stated some weeks back, have virtually
been " conceded by negotiation or won by
" arms."
A great difficulty felt by some persons is,
that there can be no security for Turkey while
the Russian empire remains so powerful as it
is at present. These persons think too much
of physical and too little of moral causes for
the maintenance of any recognised settlement
of territorial power. No small State can ever
have any real positive security against the
aggression of a more powerful State. There
is not nearly so great a 'dative disproportion
between the force of Russia and Turkey at
the present moment as there is between the
force of France opposed to the Rhenish
provinces, or to Belgium, or to Spain ; or be-
tween the power of Prussia and the little
German States which actually bisect her terri-
tory ; or between the might of Austria, or even
that of Piedmont, and the little duchies of the
Italian peninsula. The smaller States of
Europe owe their safety to their recognition
as parts of the European system ; end when
Turkey is admitted into that system—a point
of the very highest importance—she will enjoy
the same kind of security—hut in a much
higher degree, both from her own superior
internal strength, and from the much greater
importance which will be attached to her pre-
servation—that is now enjoyed by the smaller
States of Europe. If the warlike, active, en-
terprising, and ardent genius of France has
never been able in two centuries of constant
effort to overleap those barriers which the

A BIT OF SIR JAMES'S SPITE

Sir Charles Napier declared that he was for giving the voter the protection of the ballot—Tisses.
He's quite consistent, I must say,
And has not turned his coat;
He'd throw the ball in secrecy,
And thus record his vote.

For in the Baltic Charley threw
So secretly each ball,
Some people think ('twixt me and you)
That none were thrown at all.

THE PANMURE CONUNDRUM.

To CORRESPONDENTEL—Various answers have been received to the
conundrum in our last, " Why was the G.C.B. yiven to Lord Pan-
snare !" but none of them appear to be satisfactory. The D—e of
A—'s is the best, " Because he will receive orders from any-
body; " but there is also merit in R. B. aa., who writes, " That he
might wear it on Guy Fox Maule Day." Others of the replies are
very silly, especially H. D—'s, who says, " Because he stopped
in town while all the others were out shooting." The riddle in
clearly unanswerable, and nobody will ever know why the
decoration was given.

wirers, who, after the fashion of servile imi-
tators, copied the worst parts of their model.
" But Sir CHARLES swallowed his speech."
So he did. He ate it up with alacrity to the
popular tune of " Cease, Boreas, blustering
railer." One would think that he had been
practising forecastle music all his life. With
such a proficient in nautical melody, there are
likely to be some capital duets in the next
session between the fierce First Lord of
the Admiralty and the ex-Admiral of the
Baltic fleet. The men of Southwark have
certainly contributed a most original member
to the Parliamentary Philharmonics of the
coming year. Young senators will have an
opportunity of comparing the amenities of
Southwark and Halifax eloquence. The Ad-
miral will commence with a broadside ; he
will load up to the muzzle, and endanger his
own fingers. The other Sir CHARLES will
scarcely be less indiscreet. He will attempt
the snubbing style, and he will fail in it as he
generally does, except when he has an oppo-
nent without experience, like Mr. W. S.
LINDSAY. The old Admiral will then resolve
for a close engagement, and, in place of shar-
pening his cutlass, he will draw out the
Halifax speech of the First Lord, board the
Treasury Bench, and midst stenographic
noting of " loud cheers and roars of laughter,"
carry dismay into the officials who have not
yet lost their places, though some of them will
have to find their constituents. Next ses-
sion will be a troublesome one to the Ad-
miralty.
In the meanwhile Sir CHARLES WOOD will
again have reason for regretting his Halifax
harangue against that Sovereign whose name
is received with tumultuous applause at all
our public banquets. Every sharp thing said
or written against the Jersey refugees bears
an oblique sarcasm against the Baronet with
an unbridled tongue. One who had been so
long drilled in office should have been more
cautious.

The constitutional law of the case applicable
to the case of the Jersey refugees does not
deserve prolonged discussion. We have read
much idle writing upon the legality of the
course taken with them. But the distinction
between aliens and native subjects has been
overlooked by those who quote the case of
ship-money, and also the difference between
writings upon the acts of Government and
those directed manifestly against the person
and private character of the Sovereign. The
people of England in reading the insults
offered to their Sovereign are in no mood for
discussing the niceties of constitutional law
They are apt to think that if in general com-
pany persons be kicked out of the room for
scandalous misbehaviour, it is rather ridi-
culous to talk of freedom of speech and the
Bill of Rights on behalf of rebels to all social
decency.

sumed on Monday by Mr. A. STAFFORD, who detailed

his details referred chiefly to the mismanagement of
The sick and wounded, of which he gave several
melincholy examples. He bore testimony to the
immense services of the private individuals who had
gone Out either to administer funds or to take per
sonally care of the men in hospital, and declared
that it was due both to them and to the unshaken
loyalty of the men to constitute a searching inquiry
into the causes of the official mismanagement every-
where visible.

CHARITABLE APPEAL.

A late disastrous event having suddenly thrown several estimable individuals, recently
known as " feel's Clerks," entirely out of employment, with the loss of all their
tools (including Osborne and Lowe ), the following advertisements are inserted,
gratis, by Tea l'ness and other journals, in the hope that the unfortunate persons in
question may he enabled to obtain some kind of occupation suited to their respec-
tive capabilities.
PLACES WANTED.
(All Letters to be Post paid.)

AS HALL PORTER, an elderly man, of Scottish birth. Can be re-
commended for his ability to give the sourest and most snap-
pish answers to all applicants. Is sure to be found in his place, from
which he has the utmost reluctance to stir. Can have a two years'
character from his last situation, in which be was never known to give a
single civil reply. Would be invaluable to a genteel family plagued
with poor relations. Address, " Gordon, Keeper's Lodge, Greenwich
park.

AS SHOPWALKER, an elegantly-mannered man, of good con-
nections, and much suavity of demeanour. Having an extensive
acquaintance with needlewomen, he would be extremely useful in a
drapery establishment, and having recently acquired some insight
into outfits, would he happy to place his information at the service of
his employer. Being possessed of private means, salary not so much
an object as agreeable employment. Address, " Sidney, Newcastle's
Head, Westminster."

AS BOOK-KEEPER, a middle aged man, of religious principles, and
well acquainted with arithmetic. Has received a good education,
and was for some years confidentially employed by the late Sir Robert
Peel. His temper not being implicitly under his own command, he
would have to stipulate for a separate apartment, and no interference.
At extra hours would have no objection to instruct the junior branches
of the family in Latin, as far as Entropius, and in ciphering up to
compound subtraction. As regards meals, has been in the habit of
always finding three courses before him. References from several
distinguished Roman Catholic families. Address, "W. E. G., the
Budget Hotel, Oxford."

AS USHER, an indefatigable man, whose habit of " lying awake
through many sleepless nights" peculiarly fit him for the office
of curator in a youth's dormitory, if that accomplishment be of no
other practical utility. Of amiable temperament, and can undertake
that the minutest details connected with his duty shall receive as
anxious attention as the most important. Address, " Lincoln, care of
the porter at the War office."

LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND THE DUKE

OF NEWCASTLE. ——
THE explanation of Lord Jona Enema. on the
causes of his resignation created at first a
strong impression in his favour, as it was
assumed that he spoke the truth. But the
Duke of NI WOMITLIS speech, if it has done
nothing else, has convicted him—we must use
an ugly word—of falsehood. As every one
is speaking of the contradiction between these
statements, we place some passages in parallel
colums :
LORD JOHN RUSSELL. DUKE 07 NEWCASTLE.

When the office of Secre- In the Cabinet at which
tary of State for War was it was determined that the
separated from the office of two offices of Secretary of
Secretary of State for the State for the Colonies and
Colonies, Lord Aberdeen Secretary of State for War
thought it right to propose should be divided, a discus-
to the Duke of Newcastle to sion took place, in which I
keep which of the two offices felt it my duty to point out
he should moat desire. The to the Cabinet the difficulties
Duke of Newcastle, with a which would follow from
commendable ambition, as that separation, unless, be.
I think, replied that, having fore it took place, the duties
exerted himself in fitting of the new secretaryship
out a very large expedition, were accurately defined, and
he should, of course, like to some definite plan were laid
remain at the head of the down ; but the noble lord
department which should expressed his opinion that,
have the directim of the in deference to the wishes
orders for that expedition, of Parliament, the measure
and the general management should be immediately adop-
of the war. Lord Aberdeen ted. The measure was de-
consented to that arrange- termined upon by the Cabi-
ment, and I was a consent- net, and lam sure the noble
ing party to that appoint- lord cannot have forgotten—
merit. I am confident, moreover,
that none of my late col-
leagues who sit near me will
have forgotten—that at the
conclusion of that discussion
my last words were these :
" The Cabinet having now
decided that the two seere-
taryships shall be divided,
all that I can say, as far as
I am personally concerned,
is that I am perfectly ready
to retain either or neither.'
(" Hear," and Cheers.) So
much, my lords, for my
" strong wish " referred to
by the noble lord.

There are other contradictions between the
two statements which leave a painful impres-
sion on the mind that Lord JOHN RussELL's
speech, whatever might be its merits, was not
distinguished for veracity. But in the above
instance the Duke of NEWC4STLE has the testi-
mony of his colleagues in his favour, and we

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.
The spirit of our forefathers has spoken out at last—
Away with clerkly oligarchs, your sickly rule is past ;
We must have men to govern us, brave hearts and able hands,
Nor longer let old England's name go forth to foreign lands
As a byword for a braggart, as a symbol of disgrace :
Away with them who brought this shame upon our once proud race.
Away with all incapables !—it is the Commons' will—
Manhood and honesty avail us more than clerkly skill;
Away and hide your heads with shame, and thank your happy fate
Ye meet no sterner vengeance from a nation's scorn and hate.

And ye who fill their places, look that ye play your parts
With able heads, and willing hands, and honest English hearts !
Ye have a task before you set might make the stoutest quail.
To change to songs of triumphing a mournful people's wail ;
To the dead bones of old routine t' infuse the blood of life,
And turn the groans of dying men to shoutings for the strife ;
Appease the nation's weeping, restore the nation's fame,
And bid our cheeks flush red with pride that now arc white with

_
shame.
This is the work ye have to do—see that ye do it right,
Or tremble lest ye rouse to wrath an angry nation's might.

By dark Tschernaya's waters a gallant wreck is seen ;
With stern resolve unshaken, and pale but dauntless mien,
They quail not at the pestilence, the foeman they defy.
Alma and Balaklava saw how they can do and die.
Oh ! if they're doomed to perish let them perish sword in hand,
Striking another blow to save the honour of our land ;
Let them in noble blood wash out the cruel marks of shame
With which our rulers' folly blots our old ancestral name
Lift from the dust those gallant hearts that mourn our fallen pride,
Nor let the spirits of the dead feel they have vainly died.
O'er many an English cottage, o'er many an English ball,
A veil of gloom and sorrow hangs like a sepulchral pall ;
From many an English hearth is heard wild wailings for the dead,
From many an English household joy for evermore bath fled.
Ye cannot to that young wife's heart restore her vsnish'd joy,
To yon pale mother ye can ne'er bring back her gallant boy ;
But ye must bring a priceless balm to soothe their heavy pain,
By proving that their loved and lost have perished not in vain;
Ye must send aid to our thinned ranks on that wild Tartar shore,
And bid the nations own our day of dire disgrace is o'er.

BARNUM AT WORK AGAIN.

IT may not be generally known, that Mr. Barnum is at present in this
country, and is engaged by the friends of Lord Palmerston in getting
up a great demonstration in his favour. The first step of this distin•
guished puffer was to visit some of the offices of our principal
public journals, and make " all safe " in that quarter, and the walls
of the metropolis now bear testimony to his activity. His
first poster was, " Palmerston for the Populace," but as some
of his Lordship's friends objected to the latter word, it was omitted,
and the placard is now simply " Palmerston for Premier." 111 r.
Barnum, in entering on this new line of business, expresses the
strongest confidence of success ; he sees no reason why a statesman
should not be puffed into notoriety as well as a mermaid or a dwarf,
and ho confidently believes that the result of the present experiment
will enable him to add to his " rules for making a fortune," some
equally simple rules for making a Premier.

ORDER OF MERIT.
On Monday, in answer to a question from Lord
Vivian, the Duke of NEWCASTLE stated that it was
the intention of her Majesty to institute a cross of
military merit applicable to all ranks of the army.
The cross would be awarded on the opinion of a
jury of soldiers, and would be attainable by all, from
the highest general to the humblest private.

THE PRESS AND ITS RATIONS.
Mr. S. HERBERT then further stated in reply to
another question that the Times correspondent had
be allowed to purchase his provisions from the com-
missariat stores by order of Sir C. Trevelyau, who
thought that otherwise he would be subject to great
privation. The Government had given no order on
the subject, nor could he state if any other newspaper
correspondent had been allowed the same privilege.

Immense activity was being displayed in all parts

MOVEMENTS OF THE FRE NCH.

The French divisions are gradually falling back
from their advanced position among the main body
of their forces:—

For the last two days there has been a great deal of
movement in the moveable—that is, the French—part of
the allied armies. Several large bodies of infantry belong-
ing to the divisions composing the first corps, which is
forming our right wing, have come back from the Baidar
side to occupy their old position on the plateau of the
Chersonese _ Now that offensive opera-
_ _ _ _ .

Lions can no longer be thought of for this year, a defensive
position which can be held as easily as possible becomes
necessary, and this long line over which the French
troops have been scattered begins to show its incon-
ven►ences.—Titnes cor., Nov. 3.
