TURKEY.

New diplomatic propositions are under discussion
in Constantinople for the purpose of placing the
principalities under the joint adm;nistration of
England, France, Austria, and Turkey. The
Ministers of the Divan have held several conferenc s
on the subject. The plan, it is added, was concocted
at Vienna.
Said Pacha, the newly-appointed Viceroy of Egypt,
has arrived in Constantinople. His Highness was
received with great honours, and the Sultan's palace
called the Ferie fixed upon for his residence during
his temporary abode in the Turkish capital.

The Wallachian Council of Administration of
Bucharest have ordered the confiscation of all the
Russian crosses and decorations conferred on Walla-
chians during the Russian occupation. These
cr asses will be sold by auction for the value of the
gold and silver they contain, and are to be melted
down. A committee has been formed to ascertain
the amount of the damage caused by the Russian
occupation, in order that an indemnity may be de•
inanded from Russia, when she shall be called on to
pay for the expenses of the war. All the decrees
issued and all the nominations made by the Rus-
sians have been annulled.
EGYPT.
The treasury of Egypt is at its lowest ebb. Nothing
had been left in it by the late Viceroy. The annual
revenue is, however, about four and a half millions
sterling, and, with careful husbanding, as there are
no large claims outstanding against the Government,
the finances may soon assume a healthy look.
El Hamy Paella has returned to Alexandria, and
was well received. The present Viceroy is most
friendly inclined towards him, and the other mem-
bers of the family are cordially united.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

------- -
It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive.
Their insertion Is often delayed, owing to a press of matter ;
and when omitted, it is frequently from reasons quite inde-
pendent of the merits of the communication.
We cannot undertake to return communications of which we do

not avail ourselves.
Ccmmunications should always be legibly written, and on one
side of the paper only. If long it increases the difficulty of
finding space for them.
Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the
name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publics.
thin, but as a guarantee of his good faith.
Advertisements sent from the country must be accompanied by a
remittance or a reference for payment in town.

SATURDAY,

Treasury.
This is as far as my inquiries have at present gone, but I shall
continue to prosecute them, and, in obedience to your Lordship's
orders, to report from time to time.
I have the honour to be, my dear Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient servant,

Board of Health, Sept. 1, 1854.

LORD JOHN ON SKIDDAW.
Grand, beautiful, and all that sort of thing !
I feel in peotore meo the glattes.
I edited Moore's life—shall I not sing?
Though critics cross and stern reviews may rate us.
Here, where none asks about that horrid " status,"
Where the fine air makes the full bosom frisky,
Where down below dinner with trout await us—
I'll pour my spirit forth—l mean the whisky.
Some paper, ho ! I'll write about the two.
Russell on Skiddaw's brow—foolscap? Yes, that will do !

"Oh ! wise Reform ! Oh, mighty freedom. Oh !
At thine high altar stands thy votary."
No. It won't do ! I can't go on ; you know
This session in the House I smothered thee.
I'll try again. " Lake at the mountain's knee,
That takes content whate'er the mountains give,
And hoardest at their roots their silver fee,
Like Hall, a Radical Conservative.
Wild fall ! Like Molesworth's washy, wild tirade,
All froth and noise and pop." My love, some gingerado?

"Wood! nodding idly on the mountain's brow,
He nods at home the prototype of thee.
Wooden Sir Charles—ah! where's the Indian now?"
I wish/some woodman wouldn't spare that tree.
" Wood! over whose green head the eye may see,
Tower, valley—anything "—no ; that won't do.
" Yonder's the way to Durham. Woe is me !
Why wrote I there? Why undertook the Jew?"
It's fine to talk. I only wish they'd try it,
The ultra-Liberals. Boy, keep those donkeys quiet!

I don't get on ! " Oh, mountain ! and ah, bard !"
No ; it's no use, and dinner's getting cold ;
Beside, this heather bush is something hard,
And Russells may be flesh, I've heard it told'
Why shall I write this frenzy wild and bold,
This eloquence of a patriotic pocket?
It doesn't pay.—we know we must be sold,
And Wordsworth's hill,—really I mustn't shock it
With too much twaddle. Boy ! behold a crown !
We'll go, donkeys and all ; so take us gently down.

SPAIN.

The Government are taking measures gradually to
efface or stop the access of revolutionary excitement
throughout Spain. A royal decree has been pub-
lished suppressing some of the Juntas and annulling
the changes which they had made in the territorial
divisions of the country, and in civil, judicial, or ad-
ministrative circumscriptions. The clubs have also
been closed. The members of the most powerful
and active association, the Union Club, were sum
moned to disperse, on the 29th ult., by a detachment
of National Guards. They obeyed without resistance,
and the club was broken up.
Senor Olozaga left Madrid on the 27th (Sunday`,
for Paris, as ambassador to France. He presented
hiA credentials to the Emperor, in Paris, on Wednes-
day.
A despatch from Bayonne of the 29th announces
that the Spanish Government has obtained a loan
of 85,000,000 of reals, secured on the revenue of
Cuba. Madrid letters say that Marshal Lspartero
had presided at a meeting of capitalists, from whom
he demanded a loan of 58,000,000 reals, to be applied
to the pressing wants of the State, and guaranteed
on the revenues of Havannah and the Bank. A
commission has been named to consider the propo-

sition.
Queen Christina left Madrid for Portugal on
Monday, with the consent of the Government. Some
disturbances occurred upon her departure becoming
known, but they were quickly suppressed. It is
said, however, that in order to satisfy the public
feeling a decree was about to be issued ►sequestrating
her property, and suppressing her pension until the
pleasure of the Cortes has been taken on the matter.
Two sons and a daughter of Christina had pre
viously arrived at Lisbon, where it was reported they
would embark in a steamer for Southampton, and
thence go to Bayonne.
A revolutionary paper, called La Vos de las Barri
cadas, having been fined for not complying with
the law of the press, has not only refused payment,
in a letter addressed by its editor to the civil go-
vernor, but continues to make its appearance daily
under a different name, as Lis Barricadas, El
Grito de las Barricadas, or El Clamor de las
Barricadas. It advocates the dethroning of both the
Braganza and Bourbon families in the Peninsula,
and the union of Spain and Portugal under a
republican form of government.

THE PRESS.

Bomarsund the position of Sweden towards the. Western
powers is completely changed. At this moment very ac-
tive negotiations are going on at Stockholm between that
Government and the representatives of the Western powers,
and these negotiations are on the point of being brought to
a conclusion. Sweden will accede to the treaty of alliance,
offensive and defensive, concluded between France and Eng-
land ; she will furnish an army of 50,000 men to co-operate
in the conquest of Finland, which will be guaranteed to her ;
she will put her fleet at the disposal of the Western powers,
anti England will conclude with her a treaty for granting
subsidies. Sweden at first, it is said, hesitated on account
of the doubtful position of Denmark in her rear, but that
hesitation has been removed by explanations given by the
new English Ambassador at the Court of Sweden, and by
the facts which have been unveiled—facts which when
known will produce great astonishment."
London, England, 1854-09-02

DENMARK.

The Danish Diet is summoned for October 2.
Much opposition continues to be manifested against
the new administrative scheme of the King.
At a crowded meeting of the members of the
Constitutional Association, held on Tuesday evening,
resolutions were unanimously passed expressing dis-
trust in Ministers, and in favour of refusing the
payment of taxes until the causes of distrust had
been removed. Several thousand dollars were sub-
sctibed on the spot in aid of dismissed officials. The
meeting is said to have been composed of men of all
ranks, and to have been marked by the utmost en-
thusiasm, and an ominous avoidance of any allusion
to the King.

• BELGIUM.
All the members of the Belgian Ministry tendered
their resignations on Friday, the 25th ult., to King
Leopold, who was then at Ostend. The cause of this
break up is not stated. The determination was come
to after a council held under the presidentship of M.
de Bronckere, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The
rumour in Brussels is that the course was adopted in
consequence of the exigencies of the French Govern-
ment relative to Colonel Charras and other political
refugees. Another report states that the Ministry
expected to be in a minority on certain questions at
the next meeting of the Chambers.

SWEDEN.
In the Swedish Diet the House of Peasants has
proposed a petition to the King to take measures, In
conjunction with the Diet, to prevent the Aland
Islands from returning to Russian dominion.
The Aftonbladt affirms that General Baraguay
&Millers has offered the King of Sweden fourteen
million francs fur the first month, and seven for
succeeding months, as a subsidy to be paid on his
actively joining the Western powers.

effecting a cure or alleviating symptoms much inure rapidly than
any other kind.
Extract front "THE LANCET," Aar 29,
" After a careful examination of the different kinds of Cod
Liver Oil, Dr. de Jongh gives the preference to the I.ignt Brown
Oil over the Pale Oil, which suntans scarcely any volatile fatty
acid, a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the ele-
ments of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of Cod
Liver Oil no doubt partly depends. Some of the deficienisies of
the Pale Oil are attributable to the method of its preparation,
and especially to AN filtration through charcoal. In the prefer-
ence of the Light Brown over the Pale Oil we fully eoncur.
" We have carefully tested a specimen of the Light Brown Cod
Liver Oil, prepared fur medical use tinder the direction of Dr. de
Jongh, and obtained from the wholesale agents, Messrs. AMMAR,
HARFORD, and C0..77. Strand. We tind It to be genuine, and rich
in iodine and the elements of bile."

ITALY.

News has arrived from Palermo of the apps' ance
of cholera in that city. The Sicilians, it seems, are
under the impression that cholera is a poison com-
municated by human means. The people surrounded
the governor's palace, and shouted, " We will not
have the cholera here!" The viceroy immediately
issued orders prohibiting the people to speak of
poison. The troops were under arms night and day,
and the city in a very excited state.
The cholera cases have very much diminished in
Naples.

THANKSGIVING FOR VICTORY.

In the House of Lords on Tuesday the Duke of
GRAFTON asked whether it was the intention of her
Majesty to appoint some especial day to be kept holy
for the purpose of returning thanks to God for His
Divine protection during the war, or to order an t3s-

The Earl of ABERDEEN reminded their lordships
that at the commencement of the war a special form
of prayer was appointed, asking the Divine blessing
on our arms ; and, while honouring the motives
which prompted the noble duke's question, he con-
fessed he thought that, under existing circumstances,
no special interference on the part of the Government
was necessary.
SUCCESSION DU ON OFFICERS' ESTATES.
Major BERESFORD moved on Tuesday for leave to
bring in a bill to relieve the property and effects of
officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates
killed in the Crimea, or who have died or may die
during the present campaign, from wounds, disease,
or fatigue, from the payment of the succession and
legacy duties. He thought it right that the house
should mark its sense of the heroic deeds performed
by our armies iu the East, and thus stimulate them
to fresh deeds of exertion while paying a portion of
the debt of gratitude which was due to them by the
country.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the ques-
tion of rewards to the army belonged properly to the
Crown, but under any circumstances the proposition
of the hon. gentleman would operate so unequally as
to render it altogether inadmissible. It would not
apply to one in one hundred of the private soldiers,
nor to more than one in ten of' the officers. But even
in the case of officers its operation would be suffi-
ciently absurd. The widow, the first party to be con-
sidered, would get nothing whatever ; the children,
who were next to be considered, would get one per
cent., while a second or third cousin, who was not to
be considered at all, would get ten per cent, He

hoped the hon. gentlemen would on reflection with-
draw his motion, and leave the matter in the hands
at the Crown.

Mr. BERT SFORD then withdrew his motion.
SAVINGS BANKS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on Wednes-
day moved a resolution in committee upon the sub-
ject of savings banks. The effect of the resolution
was to place deposits in savings banks in the same
condition as money placed at a private bankers,
available at call, at the same time to reduce the
interest to three per cent. He stated that if this
resolution were agreed to, he would immediately in-
troduce a bill founded upon it, which would be dis-
cussed after the recess. He also intimated that a
bill for the better management of these banks was
in preparation.
The resolution was adopted, and leave given to
bring in the bill in question.

FRIDAY EVENING.
THE Consol Market bas bee:l influenced during the
week chiefly by the debates in Parliament, and the
progress of the Foreigners Enlistment Bill has pro-
duced the natural consequences of dulness and de-

pression.
At the close of the previous se'nnight the promul•
gation of the Austrian treaty had caused an improve-
ment in the quotations cf about per cent., Consols
being dealt in at 02 to ex. div. On Monday the
funds ruled at a decline of f per cent., closing, how-
ever, somewhat firmer. The last prices for the ac-
count of the 10th of January were 014 to j. The
Ministerial declaration on Monday night, that no finan-
cial statement would be mode before February, show-
ing that Government had no immediate need of
money, gave some firmness to the market next day,
and established for a time an advance of fully per
cent. The improvement was not maintained to the
end, the prices at the close being 01 }.

Yesterday the extreme weakness of the Stock
Exchange was exemplified by the serious efforts
occasioned by a misapprehension. The report that
Mr. Gladstone intended to bring in a bill on the
subject of savings banks, gave rise to an impression
that the vast funds belonging to those establishments
might be disturbed, and some portions of the stock
belonging to them thrown upon the market, led to
a decline in prices of j per cent. Even when the
true nature of the intended hill came to be under
stood, and it was known to be only a measure of
regulation, the fall was but partially recovered, the
prices towards the termination of business ranging
between 911 and t. Speculation also continued dull,

EAST GLOUCESTIRSHIRE.—Mr. R. S. Holford was
on Tuesday returned, without opposition, a member
for the eastern division of CrIOLICSSIerShirkt.
MARYLEBONE.—The election began on Monday,
when Lord Ebrington and Mr. Jacob Bell were nomi-
nated. Next day the polling took place amidst much
excitement and disturbance in the borough, and
strenuous efforts by the supporters of the respective
candidates. The result was to give the victory to
Lord Ebrington, the numbers being thus proclaimed

it brisk cannonade has been kept up for the last two
days. The enemy has made some vigorous sorties
on our own and on the English lines. They were
driven back by our musketry, and in some instances
at the point of the bayonet, after a fierce resistance.

A letter frrom Bucharest, of the 7th, states :
Mushar Pacha starts on Monday or Tuesday.
Thirty or forty thousand Turks, and a hundred guns,
are to be embarked at Varna, or Baltsehik, under his
superintendence. Next week Omer Paella, too, wal
start for the Crimea. The troops will moat probaWf
be disembarked at Eupatoria.

The report circulated to the effect that 60,000
men had passed Perekop to join the Russian array
in the Crimea, is, it is stated, entirely untrue. From
fifteen thousand to sixteen thousand men is the
greatest number that the Russians can receive for
some weeks.

It is reported in Berlin that the Prussian Govern-
ment has addressed communications to the Cabinets
of London and I'aris, representing that the Busman
declarations of the 28th ultimo are proofs of her
anxiety for peace, and show clearly that she has no
mental reserves as to the proper interpretation of the

The Konigsberg Journal states that the trade with
Russia is extraordinarily active. Long caravans of

POSTSCRIPT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY.
The Militia Bill was read a third time and passed
Returns were ordered on the motion of Lord
Monteagle respecting the issue of Deficiency Bills,
and exhibiting the present state of the unfunded
Debt..
The house adjourned, after a brief sitting, until
this day (Saturday).
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAN.
In reply to a question from Major Reed, the Se-
cretary at-War stated that preparations were making
to arm the whole British army with the Minik
rifle.
FOREIGNERS ENLISTMENT BILL.
The third reading of this bill was moved by Lord
Yohn RUSSELL, and opposed by Sir E. DERING, who
urged a variety of practical objections to the measure-
He doubted whether the foreigners whom it was pro.
posed to enlist, could be actually organised into an
effective force, and transported to the seat of war
more easily or quickly than a similar force of native
recruits. If difficulties were experienced in raising
men at home, the sufficient remedy lay in improving
the pay and status of the private soldiers.
Mr. COBDEN believed that many hon. represent-
atives had voted under a sense of the existing emer-
gency of the subject, in oprosition to their own con-
scientious conviction, and considered it as one of the
great evils of war that it bad thus demoralised the
legislature. Proceeding to discuss the wider
questions arising out of the present complaint, he
declared that the real object of the war was much
misrepresented. The English people did not fight
for the free navigation of the Black Sea or the
Danube, nor to keep faith with Turkey according to
the tenor of treaties, hut because they wished to
repress Russia, which was not merely a despotic and
oppressive power itself, hut also the abettor
of Austria in oppressing Poland and Hungary.
This, he remarked, was the popular view
of the subject, with respect to which he expressed
his own repugnance to undertaking a propagandism
of liberty at the point of the sword. Adverting to the
statesman's view; which assigned as the motive for
hostilities our desire to maintain the independence

THE defendants in the often-reported case of
murderous outrage at Beulah Spa, Mr. F. It. Newton
and Mr. W. A. Newton, surrendered themselves on
Wednesday for trial at the Central Criminal Court.
The facts of the assault upon Mr. Ker, which was so
nearly proving fatal, were set forth in evidence, and
the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recom-
mended the prisoner William Newton to the merciful
consideration of the court. Sentence was subse-
quently pronounced, condemning Francis Newton to
nine months', and William Newton to three months'
imprisonment in Newgate.
AT THE LIVERPOOL. POLICE COURT, on Tuesday, a
novel system of obtaining money under false pre-
tences was elicited. It appeared that Richard Bell,
a beer•house keeper, had been in the habit of asking
captains of American ships the price of a voyage out.,
and, on being informed, of saying, "Well, PH pay
you 21. on account." He presents an acknowledgment
wriltil in pencil, and obtains the master's name in
ink. When the ship has sailed he erases the pencil
marks, and makes a bill out for work done on board
the vessel, which he presents to the consignees, who,
seeing the captain's authority, pay without demur.
In this manner the prisoner had received 521. from
Messrs. Bowman, Grinnell, and Co., but, on pre•
senting a second bill, he was given into custody, and,
as there were several similar cases against him to
be inquired into, was remanded for further exami•
nation.
A SALVAGE CASE was tried at Melbourne, in Aus
tralia, in September, to determine the amount that
should be awarded to Mr. G. Mansfield, late of Lyme
Regis, and now principal pilot at Shortland's Bluff
Station, Australia, and the boat's crew who succeeded in
rescuing 00,000 sovereigns from the ship Sacramento,
wrecked at Port Philip 'Heads, on the 28th of April,
1853. The Atto ney General appeared for the plaintiff.
The case lasted eight hours, and the jury returned a
verdict for the boat's crew, with the following esti-
mate of salvage :—George Mansfield, 5,000 i. ; William
Brown, 2,0001.; Edwatd Harris, 1,5001.; Edwin
Turby, 1,5001.; John Summers, 1,5001.; James
M'lntyre, 1,5001 ; and David Brass, capenter of the
Sacramento, 1,5C01.
IN THE SE OF BIRCH V. FOSTER, tried on Wed-
nesday in the Court of Queen's Bench, a verdict for
the defendant was returned. The case was an action
for libel brought by the editor of the late Dublin
World newspaper against Mr. Fester, editor of the
Examiner. Lord Palmerston and Lord Clarendon
were examined, Mr. Birch's rambling queries pro-
tracting the proceedings to a late hour.
THE MURDERER BARTHELEMY was finally examined
at Marlborough-street Police Court on Thursday,
and fully committed on the capital charges for his
double crime. Subscriptions have been commenced
for the widow of his victim Collard, the ex-policeman,
and not less than fifty guineas obtained for her
maintenance at the Baltic Coffee house alone.

THE PRESS.

abroad, he could not suppose that men—at least,
married men—would enlist at all.
The Earl of GLENOALL spoke briefly against the
bill, which was then read a second time, and also
passed through committee, the standing orders of
the house having been suspended for that purpose.
HUTS AND WINTER CLOTHING FOlt TRE
TROOPS.
In reply to questions on these topics by Sir G.
HEATILCOTE, the SECRETARY-AT-WAR gave the HOW!
of Commons some interesting information on Thurs.
day evening. He said:—
With respect to the wooden houses, we gave orders to
have them constructed as soon as we received information
from Lord Raglan that they would be required. A portion
of them are at sea, and, as far as I am able to form a guess,
that portion is at this moment at the Bosphorus. Day by
day they are going out, but the numbers sent are not suffi-
cient to hut the whole army. We have sent word by telegraph
to Constantinople to Lord Stratford to procure as much
materials as possible there for constructing huts, and to
send them to Balaklava, and Lord Raglan has sent to
Sinope to purchase timber there. We have sent by tele
graph to Lord Westmoreland to have huts constructed in
Austria; anti by the mail before last we learned that an
Austrian Lloyd steamer had left Trieste with some of those
huts on board. With respect to the warm clothing, a con-
siderable portion of it has arrived, a great portion is on
sea, and a portion has not yet gone. The last letter 1 re-
ceived from Lord Raglan stated that the warm clothing
which had come by the ships was in process of distribution,
and he hoped the result would be that the troops would be
much more comfortable. (Hear, hear.)

Sir G. HEATHCOTE having afterwards asked whether
any steps had been taken to do away with the
difference between the dress of the officers and
privates,
Mr. S. HERBERT replied :
We gave instructions to Lord Raglan, as many officers
would be unable from the want of facilities for transport to
obtain supplies, to issue clothing to the officers as well as to
the men from the stock sent nut, and so far as that is done
they will be similar iu appearance. In the new pattern
uniform, which is that by which the clothing of regiments
in the East will be made up next issue, the distinction be.
tweeze officers and men has been greatly diminished. It
has been stated by an officer who came from lialaklava
that a misapprehension exists as to the officers having been
picked off on account of their uniform. The fact is, that
officers, from the nature of their duty, are much more ex•
posed than any other persons, especially mounted officers,
who are more likely to catch the eve of marksmen, and who
are more exposed than others. (Rear.)

queutly a subjettt of contoutiou.

An opinion founded like most popularly-re-
ceived notions, most probably upon expe-
rience, attributes certain characteristics to
those who are engaged in particular pursuits.
The peasantry say that all millers are dis-
honest. A certain mysterious atmosphere of
fraud is supposed to surround those who de-
vote their energies to the purchase and sale of
horses, and the most unbounded use of the
least select language is charged upon dealers
in fish. Dr. Badham, in one of his chapters
on " Opsophagy," alludes to this characteristie
in various countries, but seems to have abated
his usual industry in finding specimens in
illustration of the fact. This, in a professed
book of gossip, is a great omission. Their
very nature involves the necessity of example,
especially in illustration of manners. On the
whole, the author has compressed into this
volume much entertaining and some very
valuable information ; and the work will,
doubtless, find a considerable number of
readers.

The Church of England and Erctstianion since
the Reformation. By J. R. Pretyman, M A.,
late Vicar of Aylesbury, Bucks.
Tux work before us is devoted to the expo
sure of the dependence of the Church of
England upon the Crown and the Legislature
—a dependence which has been the gradual
result of repeated political exigencies, and
which had its rise in the intolerable presump-
tion of the bishops of Rome in meddling in
the affairs of a Church that existed long before
their pretended conversion of the English. A
large amount of matter of interest is collected
by Mr. Pretyman, but the extreme looseness
of the style detracts much from its effect. Nor
is the author sufficiently informed (whatever
his reading may be—and it is obviously ex-
tensive) on the questions of the present day.
At p. 10, for example, he gives us the remark•
able information that " ministers money "
the income of the clergy of the Irish Estab-
lished Church paid in large cities in lieu of
tithes, and about which the Legislature is
annually disturbed by Routh& members—is
devoted "to the support of the Irish Presby-
" terian clergy " , and, further, that the
Regium Donors, the grant of William 111. to
the Irish Presbyterians, is applied, as the
author seems to think, exclusively to the
maintenance of "the three denominations in
" England." These are unimportant over-
sights, perhaps, but so many can detect them
that they interfere with the trust in the
accuracy of the book. Otherwise, the work
will be found to contain a clear account of the
weans by which the Church was reduced to
its present position, and generally sound and
wholesome views on the subject of the
remedy.

EXCHANGE OF THE " THETIS."

Lord HARDWICEE on Thursday introduced the ques-
tion respecting the exchange of the British frigate
Thetis for two gunboats the property of the Prussian
Government, which, either as a mercantile transac-
tion or a matter of policy, he described as a very bad
bargain.
Lord CL ARENDON defended the bargain. The gun-
boats were at the time at which it was made very
much wanted, and the Prussians, though they had
not delivered them in time to be of any service this
year, had held us to our contract.

with a contrast between the superior way in
which the French are treated, and the miser-
able mode in which our gallant heroes are

But the French have no Duke of NEWCASTLE.
All their preparations were made, writes the
same authority, •` forecasting the future ;" and,
in alluding to the wholesale blunders of our
officials, after describing " the deplorable state
" of the transport-ships," he says :—" There has
" been a want of systematic provision for the
" actual casualties of warfare which it seems
" impossible to explain away or extenuate."
And with this melancholy mass of circum-
stantial evidence, we must not be satisfied
with merely accepting the pathetic epitaph
suggested for the starved and neglected
troops. Now is the time to know whether
Ministerial responsibility be a substance or a
shadow. Can the Peelites alone, in our history,
be held exempt from the consequences of
terrible calamities, precipitated by "neglect,

FRANCE.
The British Ambassador in Paris, Lord Cowley,
addressed a note on Sunday last to the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs informing him that both
Houses of Parliament had passed a vote of thanks to
General Canrobert and the French army, and
Admiral Hamelin and the French navy, for their
gallant co-operation in the Crimea. His Excellency
appended to his letter the text of the votes as agreed
to unanimously in the English Legislature. This
communication was fittingly acknowledged by the
Moniteur, which published the following article:—
All France will be deeply affected by the thanks which
England has just voted by acclamation to General Cann).
bert and our army, to Admiral Hamelin and our navy, for
their valiant co-operation and their cordial assistance in the
war of the East.
To this important and hitherto unexampled manifesta-
tion of the sentiments entertained by a great people
towards its loyal ally, France has already replied by its ad-
miration of the brilliant valour of the English army and
fleet. France has warmly applauded the eulogiums which
our generals-in-chief, after the battles of Alma, Balaklava,
and Inkerrnann, bestowed on the intrepidity of Lord
Raglan and his troops. The two nations, like the two
armies, have done each other the most frank, the most
cordial justice. While their soldiers and seamen vie with
each other in courage and devotion, the two nations appear
to rival each other in generosity, each giving the other
this greatest share of the glory acquired in common.
Nothing is better calculated to cement their alliance than
the inching. of these noble sentiments—nothing pan
