THE PRINCIPALITIES.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH vat some questions as to the course
which the conference on the Danubian Principalities is
taking in reference to the expresied wishes of the Moldo-
lYallachian population' prefacing them by a slight sketch
of the history of the Principalities and of the arrange-
ments of the treaty of Paris. He examined at length the
motives of the population for desiring a foreign prince,
quoting a pause from a speech of Mr. Gladstone's in this
sense, made eight years ago, and recommended a close
union with France in this matter. _

Mr. LAYARD controverted much of Mr. Griffith's
history, and entered into an elaborate narrative of the
diplomatic transactions in relation to the Principalities
to show that the suzerainty of the Porte over them had
been recognised by all the great powers, and that they were
bound to choose a native-born subject for their H
For that reason the powers had ordered their cons7rstd
to recognise Prince Charles of Hohenzollern. He main-
tained that the Porte had a right to interfere to prevent
an infraction of the treaties, but the British government
had advised the Porte to act with the greatest moderation,
and not to run the risk of involving the Principalities in
war by an invasion. He had no official information that
Turkish troops had crossed the Danube.
Sir J. WALSH expressed a hope that our treaty en-
gagements would not involve us in anything beyond giving

La France of this evening says : " The last effort
for conciliation has been made at Vienna by the
Duke de Grammont. Count Mensdorff, however,
is stated to have positively maintained the grounds
of the Austrian reply to the invitation to the Con-
ference. The despatches of the Duke de Grain-
mont, giving an account of the result of his efforts,
are expected to reach Paris to-morrow."
The discussion upon the budget will commence in

PRUSSIA. AND AOSTILL

The political audacity of Count Biemarek's despatch,
which explicitly upholds the rights of King Christian and
disavows all the principles on which Germany entered
into the Danish war, is described by the Tillia as
so 'zanier, as to need no comment. The latest
correspondence appears more pacific in character, but
the cause of the quarrel is not likely to be re-
moved. Preemie desires the Duchies, and has said openly
that they shall be annexed. This has been announced in
the most unmistakable manner both by Count Bismasek
and General ManteuffeL We may presume that it is
equally the intention of Austria to prevent such a usur-
pation, end to maintain her own dignity, the rights of the
Confederation, and the succession of an independent house.
It is difficult to see bow snob a dispute is to be arranged.
It is stated that Austria would not be unwilling to ream
to a " programme" originated a year ago by Prussia, to the
effect that the Prince of Augustenburg should be the civil
ruler, while the whole military and naval authority should
belong to Plumb'. But such an arrangement would differ
little from annexation.
The language of the Austrian government gives the Poet
•o additional reason for supposing that the peace of
Europe will not be disturbed, er that the dispute between
Audits and Prussia will be amicably arranged in the
Council Hall at Frankfort. In truth, however, the mani-
festoes by which 'terse when on the eve of war appeal to

WORN.

The Herald maintains that in the discussions on the Re-
form Bill in parliament, and in the press, all the argu-
ment has been on one side, and expresses its astonish-
ment " at the extreme ferocity and ungovernable violence
of the Daily Nem, which has hitherto contrived to pre-
serve its own dignity, and whose present tone is a striking
proof ot the straits to which the supporters of Mr. Glad-
stone are reduced. It is plain to all who read that the
second reading of the franchise bill is to be carried by in-
timidation. But the enemies of the bill could command
every county seat and at least nine-tenths of the boroughs,
and if they will only express their opinions to their repro-
sentativea, they will render the rejection of the bill a
matter of certainty. Mr. Roebuck has got himself out of
favour with the Herald by his defence of the bill, and he
is now termed " the chosen of the Sheffield knife-grinders,
the angular atom of unnumbered personal and party dis-
ruptions," ko.
By this time the Telegraph thinks the tortes who have
good information, and those who are not quite blinded
with the old fain of party hatreds, begin to understand
that the government bill will pus, and it is interesting to
watehthe misgiving as it gradually dawns upon their minds.
The meeting at Sheffield is made specially interesting by
the incident that the last of the dubious members returned
to his ditty. Mr. Roebuck has been an erratic item in the
divisions. Tear'em has taken to straying out o' nights in
his old age, and was as likely to map at his friends' legs in
the dark as at his enemies'. Where he has been nobody
knows but himself ; but we are not sorry to see him come
back, at any rate, to his proper kennel at Sheffield, with
his tail just a little tucked in between his legs, and with
apparently a strange acquaintance or two formed, but no
great harm done.
The Star counsels the liberal party to accept Mr.
Roebuck's ardour even if somewhat nnlooked for, and to
regard his continued faithfulness to the cause in which he
early fought as an encouraging sign of the times.

Till 1U.2 TAX.

The Herald thinks the demonstration yesterday at the
Freemasons' Tavern must convince Mr. Gladstone sod
the rest of her Majesty's ministers that th's question,
teo long is abeysnos, must not be trifled with any
longer. Unless the forthcoming budget shall Include
some proposition for the reduction, at least, of this
most obnoxious import, a strong array of members
of the Bones of Commons may be combined against
it. The representatives of the agricultural constituencies
were, many of them, returned to parliament on the distinct
understanding that they would insist on the abolition of
this tax, or on its reduction with a view to such abolition.
Those who were not so pledged cannot be ignorant of the
strong feeling ot those who returned them. Their oppo.
nests on the Liberal side, if true to their principles, can
only defend the tax apologetically, and as a matter of pre-
sent expediency rather than of principle. It is the bound. n
duty of any Chanosikr of the Exchequer to place malt
now in the foremost place among articles on which
the duty is to be partially, if not wholly, remitted. A pro-
posal which seems reasonable, though received with dis-
favour by some prompt at the meeting, was made yesterday
by Mr. Seater-Booth. It is not new, though it has seldom
been put so prominently forward by an oppose= d the
malt tax. If money must be raised, why not tax beer
directly instead of indirectly? A tax of one halfpenny or
a penny on a quart of ben., leaving malt free from duty,
would lead toe cheapening and a large increase in the con-
sumption of the popular beverage, while it would yield an
annul sum to the revenue almost if not quits aa great as
that produced by the malt tax. Such • tax would go far
to meet en objection to the excne duty on malt, which is
put prominently forward by the advocates for its repeat
The Star argue., that se a tax to be repealed on grotto&
of public policy and justice, that on malt stands several
removes from the foremost rank, and, so long as the
money it lollop In cannot be done without, the tax will
=questionably have to be levied. At the lame time, if
the fanners go in boldly and perseveringly for a reduction
of first three millions, and thee • sowed three =liken in
our national expendititm, the remission of the rash
tax will be only an inetalmeat of the benefits they will
derive from the national gratitude. But while they con-
tinue to vote the whistle they must con'imie to pay
for it.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MARK-LANK.-(THIS DAY.)

The receipts of homegrown wheat fresh 'op to our
market to-day were only moderate. As regents prices the
trade was firm. and Monday's quotations were fully exp.
ported ; but the total amoont of hominess effected was by
no means extensive.
There was a fair quantity of foreign wheat on the
stands for all descriptions ; the trade ruled firm, at fully
late rates. _

Flaming cargoes of grain moved off slowly on former
terms.

The show of barley wee moderate. Sales progressed
slowly ; but no change took place in the currencies.
Malt was heavy, but not cheaper.
The market was well supplied with cats, but the bulk of
the supply was composed of foreign produce. Nino
parcels found buyers, at prices equal to Mondry. Inferior
qualities commanded scarcely any attention, at about the
recent decline in the quotations.
The inquiry for beans was heavy, at late rates.
Pees were dull, on former terms.
The flour trade was quiet, at stationary prices.
Linseed wsa firm, and rapeseed was In fair request.
otherwise the demand for seeds was in a sluggish state.
Oakes were dull.

SHOCKING DEATH FROM STARVATION.

An inquiry was held by Mr. Richards, deputy
coroner, at the Sir George Osborn's Head Tavern, Princes-
street, Mile end New Town, relative to the death, through
want, of Thom.. Workman, aged 28 years.
John R. Howell, porter at the Whitechapel workhouse,
said that on the evening of Saturday last the deceased was
brought to the house by Polioe-constable Drees and others,
who stated that they had found him in Mill-yard, White-
chapel, apparently in a fit. The deceased was clad in lags,
and he had no money ; he gave his name to witness, and
said that he was • butcher, but being subject to fits he had
no employment. Ho appeared to have no friends or
family.
Dr. A. Mundell Champneys said that he was called to
the deceased, and found him in a deplorably emaciated
condition. He was poor and tattered ; his hair and beard
matted in a 'mythst showed they had not been combed fora
month; he wee dirty and wretched to the last degree.
Witness ordered him stimulants and nourishments, but be
died next morning. The cause of his death wee exhaustion
from destitution.

Police-constable Creel, 37 H, said that nothing was
known of the deo:need. Witness had Been him once or
twice picking up bones in the kennels and such rubbish.
The Coroner having summed up,
The jun, returned a verdict " That deceased died from
the mortal effects of exhaustion from destitution and want
of food."

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

.Tohn Flamm.n,f, 18, and John rnsivwth, about 16, were
indicted for stealing several articles of wearing apparel,
jewellery, &c. On October 9 they went to the house of a
lady who kept a seminary at 17, Hart-street, Bloomsbury,
and one asked for the lady, and while the servant went
upstairs to tell her, one of the prisoners must have run
into the parlour and v:lrried off a box with jewellery and
clothing. When the prosectitrix came down she found
Hammond in the passage, and he said he had been sent by
a lady to ask the terms of young ladies coming to school,
and he was asked to call again. When her mistress came
down the servant noticed that Hammond was dressed
differently from what he was when she first saw him, and
when he was gone it was found that he must have had two
or three coats on. The other prisoner was at the door
with Hammond, and nu doubt took the property from the
parlour.
Fourteen convictions were proved against Hammond,
and sixteen against Cusworth, two in each case being penal
servitude and reformatories.

Sentence, seven years penal aervitu,le each. and on re-
ceiving it they saucily laughed, and called out "Oh, we
can do it."

THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN.

The Dublin Erening Mud of Saturday says :
"The following printed address has been, we are in-
formed, in general circulation in the parish of St. Mark
during the present week :—' Fellow Protestants,—The
Tractarian archbishop preaches in St. Mark's Church on
Sunday next, the 11th of November, Dleiti. Show your
approval of our beautiful Liturgy by attending and join-
ing in the prayers and responses, and your disapproval of
counterfeit Romanism by quietly withdrawing before his
grace's sern.on.' As a general rule, all demonstrations in
a place of public worship, other than those to which
it has been consecrated, are, in the highest degree,
I objectionable ; and we have heard of nothing to call for
any special indication of feeling in St. Mark's. While
we therefore deprecate the meditated demonstration
we must also express, in distinct terms, our disapprobation
of the threats held out to the protestant inhabitants of
that parish. A morning contemporary speaking with, at
least, an air of authority, says--' The penalties for disturb-
ing a congregation during Divine worship :ire eery severe,
and we have reason to believe that in case of di-order they
will be enforced.' Than such a menace wdhing could be
more calculated to provoke the demonstration. We cer-
tainly cannot imagine any one in the archbishop's position
so weak and so irritable as to introduce a police force, and
compel every person in the church to sit out his
bernion, under pain of s broken head fend • visit
to the station-house. The archbishop never contem-
plated any such imitation of the Roman Em-
peror, at his leisure making music in the theatre,
with doors locked, and a reluctant audience endeavouring
to make their es.ape through the windows. But what a
lesson does the mere attitude of parties convey ? Circulars
on the one hand—menaces ou the other. A congregation
prepared to rise and walk out before the archbishop's
sermon, and the archbishop's friends commanding them to
sit still under a threat of penalties and police batons—and
this in a diocese which only two years since he found in
the moat complete harmony and quietude ! We trust the
lesson will nut be lost upon his grace. We arc sure it will
not be lost upon the Christian world." Our Dublin corre-
spondent telegraphs that imim diately before his grace's
sermon at the church referred to 300 young men rose and
left the church. There was no interruption during the
sermon. Two persons were arrested for hissing outside
the building.

3ITESTERS AT THE MAX.IOIC-HOCSF..

Complimenting Lord Derby on the grace and tact
with which he acquitted himself of a somewhat difficult
task, the Daily era observes that the language of triumph
or complacency would have been singularly unsuitable, and
that the propitiatory and almost apologetic tone of his ad-
dress exhibits a becoming modesty an 1 sense of the fitness
of things. It was well he should refrain from any
reference to the general principlea of his party,
as he can only keep in by deserting them ; and indeed his
speech was in great part an indirect eulogy upon his pre-
decessors ; an encomium upon the financial measure. of
Mr. GI alstone and a eulogy on the moral support given
by the late government to the cause of Italian unity which
Lord Derby and his party discountenanced and hindered.
If, in reading his congratulations on the annexation of
Venetia, Italian statesmen anal the Italian people think of
the time when he ridiculed the idea of Italian unity, and
descri ted the inhabitants of the Peninsula as a mongrel
race ; if the Americans recollect his elehoratt vindication
of the commercial enterprises of th 2 Messrs. Laird—both
nations may find proof in the contrast for how little the
personal ill-feeling or hostile convictions of individual
politicians, even the most eminent, go in the con-
duct of public affairs in England. They are
overborne by the national will and purpose.
From his language we may infer that America and her
institutions are no longer the bugbear to hint which they
are to some of his party. It would be gratuitous to sup-
pose that Lord Derby will be less yielding in domestic
' than in foreign politics. If he and his colleagues retain
office, they will do so, according to preient appearances,
to desert, and cot to uphold, the principles and the policy
which they supported in opposition.
The Herald seems specially moved by the altered lan-
guage of Lord Derby towards America, and now declares
on its own part that peace with that country is of infinite
value to England, and that any small sacrifice which we
may be called upon now to make will be more than re-
paid if we should succeed in making such an arrangement
with the United States as will lead to a clearer definition
of the poaition of neutrals. The Herafd even attacks
Lord Russell for having aggravated the dispute, ea it
formerly attacked him for not making the dispute more
serious.
The Telegraph twits Mr. Disraeli with rhetorical con-
juring. He is quite capable, it thinks, of producing a
reform measure which shall be at one and the lame time
intensely tory, and enthusiastically, wildly, lavishly
liberal. Look through one end, and you will see the
people justified ;look through the other, and you will see
" property and intelligence" defeLded and preserved; look
at its author, and you will see hint laughing alike at the
people and their opponents. Let no man believe Mr.
Disraeli unequal to the extraordinary task propoood to
