Emperor's.
"Individual sublestehip, not to say dtheesW is
unknown, while individuality there is tressoo. This
taps the Russian butt. It show, an element of
weakness there, which is entirely unable to cope
with the enlightened intelligence of the individual
man who comes from the Atlantic shore of Europe.
The soldiers of Romig, that stood behind the ram-
parts of Sebastopol, were finished artists sad mecha-
nics ; they were created by the sovereign will
of the sublime genius of Nichols.. When that
army faded away, the empire needed at least
twenty years of dimiplins to fill their places. Now,
the allies have Russia at a disadvantage. To go back
for an instant—to hear some of the grosasand ones and
screams of widowed serf mothers and serf wives and
serf minnows when those poor brutes neve into the
marching line to the battle of death, and certain
death too, has made the stoat heart of many a man
give way, when that heart had stood for twelve
months on the battlements of Sebeetopol, and shot
from every lightning glance of the eye deflate. upon
the hone of Western Europe.
" Where, then, are the advantages if the straggle
is to be named next year P Is answering this qua-
tics we must look at the moral effect which has been
produced upon Raids by the past history of this
blood war.
" Iny 1853 and 1854, although no war existed, the
merchants or commercial agents of great European
houses, whether Ranieri or not, as was their custom,
went to the great commercial marts and centres of
commerce all through Ramis, and made their har-
ping as they were accustomed to do, for all
the earpbesprednen of the soil, which the noble-
men d suiei spa kr their revenue. The !nodes
and mesas of esaammiestion in Russia are so slow
that all salsalstien at asaraores in the line we have
spoken of have to be mode a year or two in advance,
consequently those who raise hemp or who produce
tallow oohs their osatrasts to take effect the next
year, Await bag the math when the.. contrasts
natant sod whoa this surplus of products is deli-
vered and paid ler, and bon those pasta are distri-

quarters. No matter if a war in-
ternees, the contracts mast hold good =both sides;
and now, as we shall see in a eacesent, Runts is suf-
fering in a vital point, because it takes two years of
war to make her feel the wound, all calculations of
profit from the soil being made twelve maths
ahead. Bat when the next year comes, then, although
peace may be proclaimed soot after that month of
August, still the consequenci • of the war are felt.
The nobleman who furnishes these products of the
mil does not feel the preemie of a war or any inter-
ruption of commerce until the second year—the first
year he is perfectly easy; bat at this moment the
revecus of every nobleman in the Russia' empire is
decimated, diminished, cat a&
"In the sees of iron—for the sheet-iron of Russia
is made in Siberia—there is even a longer retinue of
evil consequences.
" It requires twelve months to got iron that is made
in Siberia down to the saarksts of the frontier.
Okaloff,Deaddeff, and other Russian princes are the
chiefs of this trade in Siberian iron. The amount of
iron which they had received, that they would have
contracted for during the mooed year of the war, but
which wee stowed away last August in their maga-
zines, literally by the ten thousand alibi° yards, would
be enough to show any European merchant bow
vitally Russia mast be suffering under the trammels
and incubus of this engagement.
" The moral result of this conflict, with its attending
circumstances, has left all clones in Russia (except a
small circle that Butters about the court) deeply
anxious for peace. The merchants want it, because
their business is interrupted, and ruin will attend all
their enterprises, unless they can once more, through
the Bahia, reach their means of intercourse through
the world.
"2nd. The nobles are cut off from their usual rove-
num, because these channels are stopped. The serfs
are deeply discontented, because they are dragged
away by hundreds of thousands from their homes to
go into the army, and shoot down men they never
saw, and of whom they know nothing.
"What must be the esprit do corps of a body of
troops impressed into the service by the knout, and

' other, I might allude to a Colonel Schaffner. I have
branded him sea pretender—a bloated eulogist of

THE bPDEILL AND TIILLOCH REPORT.
On the motion that the Seaman do lean the chair,
Sir DB L. EVANS—who spoke in so low a tone ss is
be very frequeatly inaudible—wished to oar a few remark.;
with regard to what bad fallen from him &mien last Fri-
day's debate. Upon that occasion, the right boo. ge,tle-
man the menhir for Oxford (Mr. Gladstone) had reproved
him and others, and, he wee sorry 0 say, not altogether
without nom, for the °hareem of the discessios which
then took place. A few names, which were not istrodueed by
the Under-Simmetary for War (Mr. Peel), were adverted to
by him, and be regretted that he had made sash re-
ference, the more especially is the case of younger
editors. However, aims that debate took place, he
was happy to find that the young officer to whom he
bad referred, Capt. Dowbigpis, had distinguished himself
highly. Ho found that on the 22nd he had shown great
gallantry and ability la a skirmish. He; (Sir Ds L. Brun)
bad the facts from a private letter, upon which he could,
perhaps, put mere reliame than upon a government des-
patch, sad he rejoiced extremely at the most, and should
he glad to hear of the gallant officer's name being men-
tioned is the Gessafro. The r:ght hoe. gentleman (Mr.
Gladness) also referred to what had been and with regard
to Genital Simms. As to the private character of that
officer, he (air De L. Evans) believed cot a word could be
said against il, and es reading the papers upon the following
learning ke very meek rear tied assay things which had, is
thawing of the dissuasion, been said. (Rear.) But upon
(Mural Sinpoe's character and conduct as a general
aim no ass had a better right to comment than be, for
there had bees so officer, perhaps, whom character and cos•
duet had been more oommested epos than his own. There
was anther alien whose same had been mentioned by him, •
perhaps without a dee coesidentios of that profound defer-
ence whisk was bin due. He alluded to the Duke of Cam-
bridge. It was his (Sir De L. Evans') honour to be clued in
the immediate "Main of, and to have acted constantly with,
the Dyke of Cambridge. In some operations be had sup-
ported, sad is others bees supported by the division of the
illustrious duke. It was impassible to have received
them any one more essdeseensios and Madam than be had
received from his royal highness. It was his peed fo--
tam to taster la the newel views of the Duke of
Cambridge, and, wave it needful, he could give to the
how meal Witham of the excellent perception whisk his
royal Afghans showed of the position of affair.. He (Sir
Do L. Besse) holed te be mama if he sad a few words

debate. TM has. member far Beverley (Mr. Gordon) first

be would sot, therefore, somplala of that in others of which
be was guilty himself. The principal complaint nude
against his Wanes to Colonel Gordo* was, that it might
pirjudice the sue of that officrr when it came before the
beard of general i Mane. It did not occur 0 him that any
such result would be likely to happen, but he was extremely
sorry to have said scything which. even in apprarmoe,
might prejudice the matter. (Hear.) He had sti.t•d that
be too bad his small grin mace, and when the time came—
which meld be a fate's time—he should endeavour to
skew that nob was the fact. He ventured to thick that
be altonli be able to show that, if he had given the noble
house to whisk that hos. member sad the noble lord be-
longed aeon same to complain of him, he tiro was
sot without his sense cf eamplaint against that
noble house. There w.• nee roman made by the
noble lord to the effect that he (Sr Do L. Evans) had
made a propositios to Lord Rusin, to whin Lord Raglan
had replied. His (Sir De L. Evan's) answer to the toble
lord was, that no such conversation had taken place, and ha
bad stated from memory the &seriatim when be had ad-
dressed to Lord Raglan. But he hod since read a lettere
written by him, immediately after the battle of Intrastate,
to Us wile, is whisk the nerds which be had addrered to
Lem Raglan were set out precisely as be bad himself stated
them to the house. Three were reason why In could not
read the whole of this letter to the house ; there were es-
' premien in it to which, with referecc to cue ally, it
might be injedielou to Wien; but the litter itself wee at
