THE ONLY COURSE FOR THE ALLIES.

THE Conferences at Vienna—eo Lord PALYER-
emit stated loot night in the Howe of Comnions—

are adjourned sine die, and the French and English
Minimums are to return home in the worse of this
week. According to Lord PALMERSTON the object
of the Western Powers and Turkey—in which
Austria concurred—was to cause the preponderance
of Russia in the Black Sea to come. Two alterna-
tive methods of attaining this object were proposed
by the Allies. One was to limit by treaty the amount
of the Russian naval force in the Black See;
the other was to declare the Black Sea a neutral
water, which should be reserved exclusively for
commercial purposes, the ships of was of all nations
being excluded from it. The Russian Plenipotentiary,
when these alternative proposals were formally and
officially communicated to him on Thursday last, re-
quired forty-eight hours to consider them. After
that time had elapsed—in Saturday's Conference—he
refused to accept of either. He offered no counter-
proposition. And thus ends the farce of the Con-
ferences at Vienna. It must now be clear to every
person not labouring under a Russian or peace-at-
any►price monomania, that Russia has never contem-
plated anything by joining in than Conferences ex-

oept to pin time. The Russian Government knew
from the beginning that the object of the Allies
well to cause its preponderance in the Black
See to cease ; yet, when this subject came under
dismission, Prince GORTCHAKOFF affected to be
_ _

taken by surprise, and asked for time to consult his
Court. Time was granted for that purpose, and thus
precious weeks were wasted. Again, the Russian
Government has long been aware of the means by
which the Allies proposed to cause its preponderance
in the Black Sea to cease; but once more Prince

RUSSIA.

RIGA, APRIL 15.
As far as the eye can reach out to sea nothing is
visible but ice, so that we have nothing to rear from
the British cruisers for at least a week or ten days.
Yesterday a regiment of Bsachkirs, about 800 mcn
strong, marched into this city, but will he sent on in
a few days to watch the coast near the Prussian
frontiers,. Their head-quarters will be at Lieber'.
This is the first detachment of Asiatic troops that we
have yet seen; others are to follow. They come
from Orenburg, a distance of 2,000 miles, and have
been nearly six months on the march. They are
fine looking men, with small scrubby horses, long-
haired but active. The men are armed with a lance,
gun, sabre, and pistol, like the Cossacks, and wear a
white caftan, embroidered with red, and lined with
sheepskin. Their head-dress consists of a high fur
cap with a red tuft on the top. The officers wear an
uniform of blue and white, and their sabres, of the
real Damascus manufacture, are richly ornamented
and inlaid with gold.
The movements of troops in this neighbourhood
are going on with great activity. Sites have been
selected for four different entrenched camps, which
will shortly be commenced.
The ice in the Dila& has broken up, in consequence
of which the waters of the river rushed down
with such violence as to destroy the great dyke and
inundate a large tract of land. The suburbs or Riga
on the other side of the river are under water, and
the communication is completely cut off, and must
remain so till all the lee has passed down. The
' inundation has caused a good deal of damage.
Among others, the imperial garden has suffered
largely, many stately trees being washed up by the
mote, and the hothouses and costly collections of
exotics perfectly destroyed.
We now see the practical consequences of the steps
taken by the government last year for the defence of
our port from the sea approach. The immense quan-
tities of rock sunk in the channel to prevent the in-
gress of foreign ships of war, operate now in hinder-
ing the accumulation of ice and water from being
freely carried out to sea. The poorer classes of our
inhabitants are suffering greatly from the high
prices of all descriptions of food; and salt is now one
of the greatest luxuries, and is scarcely to be had for
love or money.

TERMINATION OF THE CONFERENCES.

The few words spoken in parliament lut night by
Lord Palmerston render it unnecessary to publish
hers the despatches we have received from Vienna,
announcing the termination of the conferences. It
will be seen from our parliamentary report that on
Saturday the Russian Plenipotentiaries absolutely re-
jected the unanimous demands of England, France, 1
Turkey, and Austria, and that thereupon the confer-
ewes were adjourned sine die. Lord John Russell
and M. Drouyn de Lkuys were to leave Vienna
yesterday.—Daily News.

The Times gives the following despatch from Bala-
klava of the 14th, received by the Euphrate, which
arrived at Marseilles yesterday evening:
" The cannonade and bombardment have lasted since
Monday. Bach gen fires 120 rounds per diem. Neverthe-
less, the Are of the enemy has not much diminished. The
French have destroyed the Faubourg' opposite to them, and
have nearly demolished the Flagstaff Bastion. Our loos con-
sist. of six officers and 120 men killed and wounded. A
furious battle took place yesterday between the French and
Russians. The French have taken up a p:eition on the
heights. The fleet is stationary. A Russian corps is re-
ported to be advancing from Biusphero;ol. Ladders and
pontoons are prepared. The fire of the Mamelon is silenced,
and the Round Tower damaged ; but the Medan and Garden
Batteries are vigorous."

INADVERTENCE.

TEE Duke of NEWCASTLE'S evidence before Mr.
ROEBUCK'S Committee is especially remarkable for
the naivete of its admissions. Take, for example,
what he said of the appointment of officers
*elected to command. The Duke stated that these
appointments were made by the COMMANDEILS.
CHIEF, but " were invariably submitted to him u
Secretary of State." He further stated that,
when the Administration differed in opinion with

respect to the appointments proposed by the
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, " the COMMANDER-IN-Ma'
would of course defer to their opinion." 114
however, subsequently admitted that no lso
than three Generals were submitted to the
SOVEREIGN, without previous intimation having
been made to the Administration ; that these

three Generals were appointed ; and that the Govern-
ment tamely acquiesced in the slight. It unfortu-
nately happens that one of these Generals was ap•
pointed to no less important a command than that of
the whole of the cavalry, and that the amount °this
responsibility for the unlucky charge at Balaklava is
still an open question; and that the name of another
is that of a family long notorious for the favour
shown to it at the Horse-Guards. It would therefore

seem that the responsible Ministers of the Crown
have allowed important appointments to be
made in deference to some unknown Win-
ence interposed between them and the Sovs-
REIGN ; and that, in one case at least, the
results of such supineness on their part have been
rather awkward. But the good-natured Duke of
NEWCASTLE is still convinced that this rather cavalier
mode of passing over the recognised and responsible
advisers of the Crown, though " a departure from
general practice," was "all done through inadver-
tenoe," and therefore not to be complained of. So
lightly did the sense of Parliamentary responsibility
rest upon his Grace and his colleagues. In this easy,
indolent, pick-tooth fashion have the dearest interests
of the nation been smiled and bowed away as a mere
question of politeness or etiquette.—Daily New.

The English funds opened with renewed heaviness,
bet, after a further decline of per cent. a rally set in,
and prices are now quoted 4 per cent. higher
than they closed yesterday. Money stock continues
scarce. Consols, after declining to 884, recovered
to 891 to 4, and are now quoted 89/ to 4 for money,
and the 10th May. The Three per Cent. Reduced
have been dealt in at 877; to 88; the New Three per
Cents. at 88 to 884; the New Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 76; the New Thirty Years' Annuities at

The " oinnium" marked 4 to 4 premium, and is
now quoted 4to premium.
Foreign stocks are very quiet. Turkish, after being
sold u low as 73, has recovered to 731 to 74.
Mexican is quoted 201 to 21; Spanish Deferred Three
per Cents.,lB to 4 ; sod Russian Five per Cents., 98

sloe, On the third branch—that relating to tli•
organisation of the Civil departments at home, and the
nature or the zemedies that ought to be applied to its
diseases and defoinities be was, perhaps, less
clear. Like too many other sincere reformers, Mr.
LAYARD seems to be half cauOt by the sophistries
and pedantries of the TREVELYAN Itobool• Bat if
proof were wanting of ;he saving efficacy of free die-
cussion in Parliament of these topics, it would be
afforded by the curious col/Cession' drawn from Sir
STAFFORD NORTHCOTR regarding the original inten-
tions and desigue of that matehless commission of
inquiry which was conducted by him in concert
with Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN. The
.public will
learn with equal amazement and edification
that the real original scheme, hatched by ;twee two
profound pundits of bureaucracy, was smith 1r more
nor less than to vest the entire of the neminat ions to
government appointments in Mr. HATTER, an d that
it was only the jealousy of the Treasury on tht part
of the other departments that prevented this sub time
recommendation from being embodied in tl air
elaborate report. That famous document, Sir
STAFFORD NORTUCOTE assures us, contained at fir st
no proposal whatever respecting competitive exami -
nation ; that was purely an alter thought, stuck in as a
substitute for the plan of wholesale centralization of,
patronage in the Treasury ; and he frankly owns that'
he does not himself see, on further reflection,
hew such a scheme would work at all ! Here, then,
is the

bursting of one glittering bubble, which has
for some time led the unthinking astray, and tended
to perplex men's minds most mischievously. From
the first we rejected the notion of appointments by
competitive examination as a preposterous delusion
—its early death by the parricidal hand of one of its
avowed parents is all we need further record con-
earning it.
But the idea of making the Civil service a sepa-
rate and close profession is far from being abandoned.
Patronage is still to exist, as, under some form or
other, it must obviously do ; but the philosophic
monopolists woL Id have certain decent forms of
positive examination kept up in each department,
just to prevent gross scandals of ignorance or incapa-
city; and for the rest, they would be content, pro-
vided the higher offices were invariably secured as a
right to the seniors and favourites promoted from
amongst these. The great object—according to Mr.
ROMILLY, one of the new Examiners, appointed
by the Government—is, to keep the nominations
in the first instance aristocratic ; and that being

secured, the next great thing, according to Sir S.
NORTIICOTE and Sir C. TREVELYAN, is to keep out
all strangers to the profession. No lawyer, no en-
gineer, no merchant, no soldier, no scholar, however
distinguished or meritorious, ought to be considered
eligible to soy Civil employment whatever. This is
the Treasury version of Administrative Reform. It
was surely high time to have the workings of all such
conspiracies for rendering the power of the oligarchy
perpetual put under a hive of glass.—Daily News.

MINES.

FRIDAY EnNINO.
The market for home mining shares remains firm
with a good demand for all descriptions of stock, but
the dealers being sparingly supplied, and holders
evincing an indisposition to realise at present pricer,
difficulty is experienced in executing the orders of
purchasers.
In the gold mining share market the only feature
is a renewed inquiry for Nouveau Monde and Weller
shares.
United Mexican shares were firmer.
The copper market remains very firm. Manufac-
tured iron has advanced again during the week, and
prices are expected to be advanced ie,,Staffordahire on
next quarter-day. The underselling at low rates in
that district has led to further difficulties there. Pig
iron is firm, and rather increased rates have been
given, the stocks being much reduced. Slither is
more inquired for, and an advance of 10s. per ton has
been established. Tin (foreign) has also advanced in
price, and 110/. has been paid to-day for best Straits.

took place at about the same boar in the evening. The
party implicated she described as a man named Taylor, and
though the police, on investigating the matter, found
her story was a clumsily arranged fiction, she persisted, not-
withstanding every caution, in swearing to her statement.

Trading Bill has been grossly misrepresented. Writing
its defence he says " the provisions of the bill do sot UP
terfere in any way with any publio-bouse, beer.honse,

It forbids the sale, in ordinary shops, of articles of raw food
after 9 o'clock in the morning, and the 4th clause ie eepe
chilly aimed at the practice of sending forth mice of
journeymen fishmongers, pool , and butchers, to
sister to the luxuries of the wealthy." Newspapers and
periodicals are not to be sold after ten o'clock, but thee the/
can be had at the coffee-houses. Barbers are not to bare
their customers after ten, but this is their own propostlin;
as for tobacconists, his lordship intends to more
a clause to allow them to keep open shop during the hours
that the public-houses are open. He denies that it is sn
aristocratic measure, seeing that it originated solely with
tradespeople. It appears that somo one has " assured" Lord

might have found the right men for the post of Com-
mander of the Army, and there is a possibility of the
nation finding the right men for Ministers,
if the present men throw down the reins.
While they hold them this is not possible. This
great nation is not reduced to the necessity of being
governed either by a DRAY or a PALMERSTON. The'
official Tories and the official Whigs do not comprise
all the ability of the nation. They are drilled in the
old routine—incapable, probably, of forming those
new combinations the age demands, and as little
likely to carry the country successfully through the
present great crisis, as a cab-hone to win the Ascot
Cup. If Mr. Roasuca's motion should hasten the
retirement from office of the obstacles to the na-
tional success, it would be a public benefit.
The Times, in its seal for keeping the wrong men
in office, casts a slur on the people. The mind of
England is represented as alternately the prey of
exultation and despondency. Official mismanage-
ment has been enough to make the people despair;
but they have throughout been true to themselves.
For nearly two years they have unflinchingly de-
manded an abatement of the power of Russia. They
have cheerfully borne great additional burdens,
sag have never doubted the justice of the
same, nor of its ultimate success; but Minis-
ters and their satellites have been at one
time for war, and at another for peace, have
floundered along in reckless confidence, or have been
sunk in despair ; have looked I Austria for aid, and
Prussia for comfort ; and have been as wavering and
inconstant as the people have been firm. The mind
of England will continue firm and just, and will
forget nor forgive the House of Commons
which shall refuse to pronounce the reprehension of
the Administration which was the " first and chief
cause of the misfortunes in the Crimea."—Daily News.

DESPATCH FROM ADMIRAL LYONS.

Admiralty, Jane 28.
Despatches, of which the following ars copies, have
been received from Rear• Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons,
Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in• Chief of her Majesty's,
ships and vessels in the Mediterranean and Black
Sea:

OPERATIONS IN THE SEA OP AZOPP.
Royal Albert, Straits of Kertch, June 12.
Sir,—l have the honour to enclose, for the informa-
tion of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
copies of three letters from Captain Lyons, of the
Miranda, reporting the destruction of Marioupol,
011ie*, and Kiten near Arabat, of immense quan-
tities of grain, flour, and hay, destined for the supply
of the enemy's army in the Crimea. So great was
the quantity that in some cues the conflagration
bad not entirely subsided when last seen on the
eighth day.
Thus, in the space of a fortnight the Sea of Asoff
has been swept by the allied squadrons under Captain
Lyons's orders, and the enemy deprived not only of
the supplies which already existed in the different
depots, but also of the means of transporting the
coming crops.
I have also the honour to enclose a copy of a letter
from Captain Lyons, speaking in terms of high praise
of the officers and men employed in the launches of
the fleet, and in the Danube and Sulina tenders.
Considerable skill, vigour, and promptitude have
characterised these operations, and I trust that their
lordships may consider that credit is due to all em-
ployed in them. Opportunities offered for individual
distinction, which were eagerly wired by the officers
whom Captain Lyons putitularly mentions, and
whom I beg leave to recommend to their lordships'
favourable consideration.
I am, &a.,

OF MORALS BY LORD
PANMURE.

LORD PANIIITHE is an eminently moral and reli-
gious character—a leader of the Free Kirk. It is,
therefore, not without surprise that we have read the
noble lord's ethical code with regard to soldiers' =t-
riages u propounded by him in the House of Lae
last night. The Duke of RICHMOND drew the attain-
tion of the House to the subject of improved bursar
accommodation for soldiers' wives. This brought the
tdunsTEß of \VAR upon his feet. The exordium of
Lord PANNURE'S speech, we may be allowed par
-
parenblese

to remark, was comical enough. He
-
com-
mssied by protesting he was convinced that the
Duke et RICHMOND had adverted to the subject "in

no spirit of hostility to Government." This is one
of those utterly uncalled-for exculpation which
are tantamount to ace nations. It looks aa if Lord

PANNITHE, after the baiting that Government has of
late had to undergo, had become so touchy that the
most innocent remark appeared to him to involve a
censure of himself and his colleagues. He is
almost as bad as the navy surgeon of whom Lord
BYRON relates, that having been long quizzed by his
mess about his wig. he became so sensitive that no
one could mention even a hat is his presence without
being told, "Sir, you grow personal." Bat it is
with Lord PANDIUBJeII principles of morals, not
with his testiness, that we have to do at pre-
sent. Well: he admits the demoralising con-
sequences of the shameless meaner in which
men and women are now huddled together
in barracks, but his only remedy is compulsory ce-
libacy on the part of all soldiers for the first ten
years of their service in the infantry, and twelve in
the cavalry. Never having studied Scotch metaphy-
ales, we confess ourselves unable to explain
the rail:was of this distinction between the two
arms of the service. But overlooking this special mys-
tory, and addressing ourselves merely to Lord PA/f-
-in:wee general principle, we must be allowed to doubt
whether ten or twelve years' compulsory celibacy of
all soldiers is likely to be conducive to the morality
of the army or of society in general. We
have been accustomed to believe that, under
proper regulations, matrimony was conducive
to morality. The neighbourhood of a barrack,
seen as matters now stand, is not much liked by se-
date and decorous heads of families; bat if almost
ell the inmates of that barrack were to be bachelors
by compulsion, it would become an intolerable
nuisance. Lord Panora is of opinion that a wife
is too great a luxury for any man below the rank of
a corporal to indulge in. Nay, he goes farther ; he
" wishes to see the army without women attached to it
at aIL" He think' " soldiers should do for themselves
many things which women are now employed to do."
What these things are he did not condescend to ex-
plain: but it is pretty clear that Lord PAN/MBE'S
model barrack would be a kind of military convent.
Yet the legends of his native land tell strange
stories about Monkish morality.—Daily News.

RUSSIA.

FRONTIERd OF POLAND, Jun/
Russia has withdrawn almost all the troops foe
merly stationed along the frontiers of Prussia, sad
now on the whole line, extending•trom Thoru to
Posen,_ scarcely any soldiers are to be seen. Its
small detachments of military left are quartered if
distances of 20 or 25 miles from each other, and the
frontier line itself is exclusively guarded by thecae
tom-house people. In times of the profoundest pews
the frontiers were never so completely denuded of
troops. From this it must not, however, be inferred
that the intercommunication between the two cost
tries is facilitated in a proportionate degree. On the
contrary, the control is exercised with greater ripe
than ever. Anybody arriving with luggage, moth
or little, even only a small parcel or bundle in his
hand, is subjected to the most rigorous search, sod
even personal indignity ; even the clergy, whe wee
formerly exempt, are now required to prove tbsit
identity, u it has happened that an appareadt
plump and well-fed friar was fouuu to be a lean
accomplished smuggler.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 29th ult.,
the National Ga:ette, says: " From Irkutsk we
learn that the river Amoor, the estuary of which boa
often been the subject of negotiation between Raw*
and China, is likely to be visited by the allied
squadrons in the Pacific. A large somber of troop
are constantly passing through Irkutsk, and may
officers have arrived there from the other side of the
Baikal. Last year the Russian governor-generd
opened the navigation of the Amoor with two
steamers, just 165 years after the Russians had define.
' tively abandoned the dominion of that river, which
they had formerly po,seased. During this period,
small independent townships have sprung up along de
banks, paying tnbute neither to &mils nor to Chia..
01 late, however, the governor-general's attention he
been called to these townships, and he had made thew
acknowledge the supremacy of Russia. To establish
a regular government over them an ezpedi:ioa by
been organised on the Amoor."
