MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1853

FROM the latest advices received touching the

Eastern difficulty we are enabled to state, that the

declaration of war made by the SULTAN against

Russia, and which produced such alarm in the
public mind ever since the news first reached this

country, is, after all, merely conditional

SULTAN grants a limited period—said to be four
weeks—to the CZAR, to withdraw his troops from

the Principalities, ere such declaration of war

be carried into effect. We see, therefore, no neces.

sity for warlike anticipations. On the contrary, it

is more than probable that, in the mean time, the

friendly negotiation of the GREAT POWERS wil

effect. a peaceful and amicable solution of this

question ; and thus save Europe from being again
embroiled in a horrible and bloody war.

The French and English Governments have
addressed notes to the Russian Government res-

pecting the acceptance of the Turkish modifications:
They are in reply to M. de NESSELRODE'S last
despatch ; and are said to be written in very strong
and decisive terms. Both countries are determined
upon upholding the sovereignty of the SULTAN,
and the integrity of the Turkish empire.

Another Cabinet Council is to be held it

THERE is a class of the genus homo, ycleped
" Croakers," who invariably strain their coarse
lungs in crying down every new and important
enterprize. Miserable, craven creatures are they,
who live in an atmosphere of ennui; and as they can
never prosper in anything they themselves under-
take, will allow no undertaking to prosper. Mr.
ALBERT SMITH has done good service to society in
writing the natural history of other noxious bipeds.
We wonder it has not struck him to employ his
erudite pen in giving to the world a faithful por-
traiture of these phenomena! But it is not too
late yet; and we hope that that gentleman, on
his return from the glaciers of Mont Blanc, twill
adopt our hint. We shall gladly take a number
of his books for gratuitous circulation among our

" croaking " acquaintances.
No sooner had the projected establishment of
a Daily Paper been made public, than a huge
swarm of these nonnaturals infested us on every
hand. Never was mortal so ceaselessly haunted,
or eternally dunned with black forebodings !
Manifesting deep concern for our interests, as a
matter of course, these " croakers" cautioned us as
to the danger of trying such an experiment, and
warned us of the consequences, if we did. Posi-
tively it required no small resolve to withstand
their importunate—" Don't attempt it !"—" 'Twill
never succeed."—" Bah ! Liverpool can't support a
Daily Paper !" As it happened we were neither
dispirited nor disheartened by the predictions of
such " Sir Oracles," but determined, at all hazards,
to execute our purpose. We possessed faith suf-
ficient in the intelligence of the people—confi-
dence sufficient in their hearty co-operation—and
knowledge sufficient of the want that existed, to
justify such an enterprize ; and, consequently, we
set about it with energy and with spirit. And
although many and serious difficulties beset us in
the commencement of our career—now, happily,
all overcome—we are amply rewarded for our
labours, and cheered into further exertion, by the
unexampled success which has crowned our enter-
prize, and in so brief a period.
The facilities afforded the merchants and manu-
facturers of the North, of obtaining early informa-
tion on important matters, have doubtless been
one cause of the success of our paper. Within the
past fortnight, several instances of this nature have
occured. And even no later than Friday, we
gave early intelligence of the arrival of the Frank-
lin, at Southampton, at 9 o'clock the preceding
night, as well as the first account of the fearful
Irish railway accident ; matters which our contem-
porary of Lord-street considered sufficiently
• momentous to justify the issue of a second edition.
Such facts speak plainly enough as to the benefits
conferred by a well-conducted DAILY Newspaper ;
and not only show the absolute necessity that
exists for such an organ, but powe9ftilly_ estab-
lish its claims upon an intelligent mercantile com-
unity.

We cannot conclude without tendering of
