fully until the two Principalities parses a strong
popular organisation. It is in kits manner owing to
the eclipse of the popular party, that we have been
Do long sabdued by the illusion that the
Berri= dominion stood uppermost in the Molds•
Wallachian mind. Under the constitutions by which
those States have long been governed, a spirit of
rapacious domination in the higher chases has pre-
veiled ; and this interest, deriving its mainspring from
the support of Russia, has been affected to the Reagan
rule in proportion u the instincts of the mass of the
population involuntarily recoiled from its tyrennom
oppremiom
In a commercial point of view, the Principalities
possess this enormous advantage over every other
State which trades upon the Danube, that their terri-
tory lies immediately at its month; while the accession
of the ceded territory to the Moldavian soil will add
to that advantage an interest in the seaboard et the
Ermine. If it will repay the Austrian unglie to
transmit her exports to the Black Bea through
the thousand gyrations of that interminable
river, how much more remunerative will be the com-
merce of the Euxine to the two Principalities, with
other facilities at least equal in proportion? Above
all, be it remembered that the results of the war
have yet to be determined ; and that their magnitude
largely rests in the political future of these States,
which must conform to the character of their organi-
sation. And if the splendid opportunity which
now presents itself be seised, we shall have dove
much in lands that have bowed beneath a tradition-
ary oppression to promote the can., of progress, and
to illustrate the name of England.

THIL arrangements for the dinner to be given to the
Guards, Co their return from the Crimes, by the in-
habitants of London, are now in a most satisfac-
tory state of progress. The list of the Committee of
Management speaks for itself. We may add that
the entertainment he. the entire sanotion and sp.

proval of the military autboritice. We are disposed
to lay gent stress upon this : for while we have ever
advocated the claims of the private soldier to a larger
share is the honours of the profession, and extended
prospects of promotion, we are well aware that the
efficiency of our army demands a stern and what
may eves appear to civilians a pedantic striat-
um of dissipline We would therefor* shrink
from say fratieniestions between private soldiers
and the general public disapproved of by their
officers. Here, however, there is no ground for
misgiving. From the beginning the utmost owe has

proval has been given to it. The subscription
lists were opened in the beginning of the week,
and are rapidly filling up. Three which we have
chewed tow contain many borrowed names, both
civil and military, with liberal donations apponded
to them. We doubt not that even in this, the "
or " after' seams, the hospitality of Leedom
to its permanent garrison will be worthy of
England's metropolis. It is inapstflools to add
that all delays are inadvisable, and that in.
