THE DAY'S NEWS

Mr. Justice Willes made % considerable inroad
into "The black calendar" yesterday, sitting until
nine o'clock, and getting through some of its
heaviest eases. The sensitiveness which the jury
in two instances showed in reference to a verdict
of Wilful Murder would be held by some to have

passed all reasonable limit, but it indicates the
impression produced on the public mind by the

undistin,guishiag rigidity with which Sir George
Grey has of late been restricting the exercise of the
Royal prerogative of mercy. It is to this almost
unexampled severity that we must attribute the
fact which these assizes have demonstrated, that
the " Manslaughtera " of Liverpool are worse than
some of the wilful murders of other places.
Sir Charles Napier has returned ; and, as we
foresaw, has " given his good account " of Cron-
stadt. Here it is :—" If 50 sail of the line, and

" 50,000 men in steamers, were to attempt an
" attack, it might just possibly succeed, provided
" they did not sink ships between Menschikoff and
" Cronslott, and our ships did not take the ground
" in going in. It would be necessary for the leading
" ships to anchor against the batteries. Those
" following should go in and break the boom. If
" they succeeded, we would probably everpower the
`• fleet, and the steamers would land the troops on

" the sea wall. If we failed in breaking the boom,
" there would be great confusion, and there is no
" knowing what would happen. It would also be
" necessary to have a strong reserve to take the
" place of the ships against the batteries,
" if they failed in silencing them, which is more
" than probable. If all went right, Cronstadt
" would be taken; and if all went wrong the fleet
" would be lost. No one, I think, except The Times,
" would have tried Cronstadt. They said it was
"not necessary to see how one was to get out ; it
"was only necesary to get in. I have shown that
" the North Passage is double—l may say triple—
' holed, and four new batteries built ; so that passage
is sealed. There are no guns on the North Wall;
' but outside there are redoubts well armed. On
`the south side, between Risbank and the main
land, there are two new batteries, which render

"it unassailable, and the passage up towards
" Peterhoff is holed also. On the ramparts there
" are about 120 guns, many of them pointing
seaward. The carriages are not in good order.
Fort Menschikoff is now fitted with platforms

"like a ship's decks, with 82-pounders, where the
" seamen are exercised in the winter. It is well
" ventilated, having no guns on the sides or rear.
" On the shore, inside Peter the Great, there is a
',heavy earthen redoubt, which points to the sea.
" There are redoubts all over the island, and on
"the western part of it a new fortification is begun,
" right across, and between it and the town a chain
"of redoubts. The line wall is of small stones,
" like Bomarsund, which could be easily knocked
"down. There is a ditch, but no glacis. I forgot
" to say that the screw line of-battle ship has 830

men, excluding engineers and stokers."

The Philadelphia steamer City of Baltimore
arrived with one day's later news than we had
by the Persia. She brings 296 passengers.

The Indus, with the India and China Mails,
arrived last night at Southampton. Among her
passengers are the Queen of Oude and suite. At
the time of going to press we had not been put in
possession of her news, but their substance has
been anticipated by the electric telegraph, via
Marseilles.

Our foreign news is extremely scanty, and
centres on Naples, The continued pertinacity of
its King is to be followed by the withdrawal of the
French and English Ambassadors.

It would seem that Russian diplomacy is
entering on a new course, its Nestor, Count
Nesselrode, amusing himself at present in a tour
through Switzerland. At Geneva, he is supposed
to have met with Lord John Russell, on his travels
also.

The French, who have now left Constantinople,
begiu to talk of evacuating Athens, the last news
from which is, that the lazaretto, the buildings at
the customs port, and all the merchandise they
contained were destroyed by fire.

In Spain the people, complaining of dearth, are
destroying in some provinces whatever food they
have. At Buendia 200 cart-loads of corn were
destroyed in this way; at Anjudar, more than
8,000 olive trees were wilfuliy destroyed ; at
Cordova, a farm house of the Marquis Benamej
was burnt down, and other damage done. The
palace belonging to him in the city was also
burnt down. At Lucena the Hotel de Ville was
burnt down, and the mayor seriously wounded ;
at Seville, it was all the authorities could do
to prevent the gas works from being set on fire.
At Jaen, 200 olive trees and 400 almond trees
were destroyed ; in many other places similar
outrages have been committed. Another of the
singularities educed by the dearth, is the offer of
the Spanish capitalist, Senor Salamanca, to con
tract to supply the city of Madrid for six years,
with bread, at the price of nine cuertos the
pound, the price actually paid at this moment
being seventeen cuertos; but he stipulates that
he shall have a monopoly of baking bread for the
city during that time. The government has
declined to accept this extraordinary, if not
dangerous, proposal.

It turns out that the " Frightful case of Seduc-
" tion" we published yesterday, from the Globe of
the preceding evening, was only a frightful case of
hoax practised upon the treasurer of that journal.
It would seem that the penny-a-liners are begin
ning, like the poets, to recur to their imaginations
for their facts—and as it is certain that neither
editors nor the public are the parties who profit by
the innovation, it is almost unnecessary to express
our regret at the occurrence of such mistakes.

One of the most terrible things in the way of
boiler explosions occurred yesterday at Hampton
Hill, near Bury. The bleach works in which it
took place were destroyed, ten persons killed or
buried in the ruins, and about twenty more or less
injured.

A very fearful fire occurred at Shaw's•alley, near
the Custom House, as we were preparing to go to
press this morning; it resulted, we regret to say, in
the loss of six lives.

As the great diplomatic plot develops itself in
its varied phases, the British public find increased
interest in the perusal of our foreign intelligence.
They see France doomed to reactionary move-
ments, sanctioned and promoted by the London
Times in the name of this nation and their public
Press—they find Austria calling out all her military
reserves—ltaly selected as the European battle
field, and tremendous King BOMBA hurling defiance
at the combined strength of the advocates of

Muscovy will probably

tions and fetes until she is called on with
conspicuous part which has, nc,ona to play the
assigned to her in the promised drama, been
the sudden and growing complexities; Whuthwhat
engrossing the popular mind of this country art
lead to, it is quite impossible to .
divine.lNl
The poverty and chronic miseries of the
Continent, defeat all the efforts of the wisest
heads and most generous hearts, in their attempts

to keep the surface of society smooth. There is

no disguising the fact, that there is an amount of
wretchedness in the heart of many Continental com-
munities, which must be removed in some way or
other, before there can be a prolonged season of

tranquility in Europe.
The pressure of increased numbers of mouths on
the supply of food, and the pressure of taxation on
the available means of every State, have left us
exposed to the worst dangers to be apprehended
from the teachings of professional demagogues.
We do not say this to justify the wholesale arrests
and massacres we have witnessel on the Conti-
nent within the last few years and months, but to
try to awaken the Governments around us to a sense
of the real cause of the evils which have beset
them. Give France, or any other country, a sound,
social, status, and you will always find the political
atmosphere cool and pure. Give the masses an
independence for their industry, and they
will care little for what is called " liberty" in
politics. It would be impossible to agitate,
and make the bosom of a " well to-do" Europe
rise convulsively, like the waters of the
ocean when moved by an earthquake. The
mind of a civilised nation cannot be torn away
from profitable pursuits ; and unless these can be
found for the millions, all governments, no matter
what we may be pleased to call them, must, inevit-
ably, prove powerless. Our tranquility at home,
and the contentment which happily reigns in
Belgium and some other foreign countries, date
directly from the success which has attended the
wisdom of their respective legislatures, in pro-
viding for the social amelioration of the great
masses of their people. In England, our modern
legislation has been pre-eminently successful. The
changes we have made in our economic system
are open to the world.

We have found Free Trade a panacea in seasons
of famine and war. Foreigners may doubt this,
when they look over the speeches of our Man-
chester Free Traders, and scrutinise our three last
financial budgets ; but, notwithstanding, they may
find that the war has made an addition of
18,333,9271. to our National Debt, and has left
us with an increase of 14,643,4831. in taxation,
we may remind them that property and income
contributes considerably more to the Imperial
Exchequer than the interest of the addition made
to our debt and the increase of taxes, both put
together. We have certainly been impolitic
enough to diverge a little from the direct line
of commercial freedom and industrial. emancipa•
tion ; but the letting loose of corn alone, that for
which Manchester politicians clamour most, if not
solely, has kept our industry in motion, and the
barque of State fully manned and steady. It has
been found.a lever of sufficient power to raise the
masses to a better social condition, to place at
the disposal of the government an amount of
bullion revenue unprecedented in the history of
the world, and to sustain the merchant and trader
against all the losses of war, and the protracted
operation of compound interest and usury of the
most oppressive character. These are a few of
the benefits we have derived from partial Free
Trade, and, after years of trial in Great Britain, may
not other Powers venture to test its efficacy in their
hourof need ? Our condition was desperate,our fiscal
obligations were terrific, and our industrial and
commercial stakes incalculable when we made the
experiment. We had our agitators, secret combi-
nations, clubs, and every other species of moral
and political abortion to contend with ; but Free
Trade vanquished commercial stagnation, agrarian
outra,e, and the threatening want of employment !
—and those Continental States whose difficulties
are pregnant with danger, had better follow our
example in material matters, than adopt the coun-
sel of Utopian diplomacy. We can give no better
advice to our neighbours in the name of this great
mercantile country ; and, if it should not be
accepted, we hope we may not be called on to
record in the columns of the NORTHERN Truss the
terrible incidents which belong to a career of
visionary reaction.
