it be possible that Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE

a construction of his own upon it ,
the danger of war impending over Europe, it is in
this very direction. The Turks are crate equal to the
task of meeting the Austrians on the banks of the
Lower Danube ; and they will, assuredly, compel
the army of occupation to retire ; and we have good
reason to hope the French will second their deter-
mination. If REDSCHID PACHA is the best man to
lead in such a necessary enterprise, we shall have
no cause to regret the change which is attributed
to the superiority of British intrigue ; but if he is
to stand in the way of justice to Europe, and to
plunge Turkey deeper than ever into foreign
bondage, the peace of the world will be se-
riously compromised, and we may fairly ap
prehend the worst consequences. There is,
in fact, far too much intrigue going on all
around us. Some of our sharp pointed irons must
burn before we leave off playing with fire. We-are
intermeddling everywhere, and appear to have
taken upon ourselves all the responsibilities of a
very affectionate Grandmamma, and seem to enjoy
a game of follow-my-leader with all the little
people and new corners in the universe.

representatives

This has become our ruling passion, but time
will soften our ardour, and take the buckram out
of our con leseension. We shall have some of our
friends turning on us for treading on their toes,
and some of our natural enemies taking advantage
of our innocent mirth. Russia finds that we are ready
to lend to everybody, and she comes to us through
France for 40,000,0001. to make her railways. Austria
wants to keep possession of the most valuable por-
tion of Turkey, and uses us to gain her ends
The EMPEROR of FRANCE and the Democrats of
America turn us round as they please. We were
never more obliging, and never less rewarded for
our kindly disposition. The French like us well
enough in Conferences, but they cannot admire
us at Constantinople. The Free Soilers of the

United States are our friends, but we give them
the go-by for BUCHANAN, slavery, and acquisitive
propensities. We truckle to Austria, while we are
ready to chastise Russia in words, and never cease
talking of our desire to free Turkey from the yoke
oilier foreign oppressors. All these contradictions

and mistakes must lead somewhere or to

something. It cannot go on in peace. There must
be a revolt. in the nursery of contradictions. The
Turks could not be retrained in 1853, when the
Russians invaded their country. They would, and
did, declare war against the Muscovite, despite
all that diplomacy_could say. and they will compel
the Austrians to leave the Principalities, and
declare war against FRANCIS JOSEPH if they do not
depart quickly, and in peace.
The SULTAN knows full well that he will be sus-
tained in his determination by the public voice of

Europe. The Court of Vienna cannot be suffered
to take to itself so large a slice of a friendly Power's
domain, under false pretences, and England cannct
have encouraged such ideas. The people of this
country will wait with intense anxiety for some
explanation from Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLTFFE,
touchinghis recent success over the diplomatic repre-
sentative of our Ally. A split between the Western
Powers would be exceedingly awkward just now.
We scarcely know where '!'rance would obtain
gold, or England would find safety in alliances. It
will be seen that we have something more than

IT has been announced on tolerably good
authority, that, in the event of Mr. PICTON being

Such an essay will certainly leave his valourous
friends nothing more to desire. Mr. J. BUCK
LLOYD will " litigate" the Ward to the last. He
will move for a new trial, and spare neither money
or exertion to reverse the verdict pronounced by a
majority of the. Electors against his acts while in
the Council Chamber. The Reformers of. the Ward,
however, stand pledged to the town not to allow

minent man,

their opposition would have been-looked upon with
derision. They were .determined to make a great
martyr, and they therefore opposed the most
conspicuous man in the Corruptionists ranks.
They might have carried other Wards with less
exertion, but they preferred attacking the
Malakoff at once. And they have succeeded in
establishing the board Constilutional standard
of taxation and representation—on the ruined
battlements of political imposture and municipal
jobbery. The Sharnites have been vanquished,
but, lo ! the cry is, " they come again !" There
certainly must be some juvenile Ennius, or un-
known Maro, in the Borough, whoSe aid is invoked
to allay the cries of discomfitted councilmen, and
prompt our Corporate Caesars to fresh .enterprises.
Mr. LLOYD'S threat conies- upon us like a thunder-
clap of classic heroism.
We Must find a HOMER and- a ViR-GIL to chrenicle
the deeds, and portray the virtues, of our BoroUgh
Hectors. The weak spirits and boggling scribes
of the Press of these matter-of-fact days, cannot do
justice to the shining lights of our time. PLUTARCH
tells us we ought to use fiction and poetry in such
cases, because truth of itself is rigid and austere,
and cannot be meulded 'into such agreeable forms
as fiction. Give us, then, the artful contrivance
and disposition of fable. Allegory is the thing
we want. Find us a RUBENS; to paint Liverpool
drifting with the tide down the Mersey, JOHN
BUCK LLOYD at the helm, with jobbery and justice,
fortitude and faction, public morality and-bribery;
virtue and viands of the usual order, seated abaft
the binnacle. Until these wants are supplied, we
fear we must remain satisfied with the rigid and •
austere truth. Mr. JOHN BUCK 'LLOYD has just
kbeen shown that a large majority of the
electors of Lime street Ward do"- not think
him a fit and proper man to represent - them
in the Council, and his second appearance
I as a candidate, after so decisive a rejection, will be

nothing whatever of their rights and interests.
Here again, we should want the allegorical brush
of RCBENS to paint frozen effrontery looking with
its ice-like composure on a crowd of rational men,

burning with indignation. He -was the most
luckless of sculptors who plied the chisel to our
Gogs and Magogs, as illustrations of the good old
times of "Fee-faw-fum," so many ages before Mr.
J. BUCK LLOYD was born.

Let those who delight in the brilliant and heart-
stirring air of " See the conquering hero comes,"
henceforth look under the umbrellas of the van-
quished for the victor. Away with the wild
enthusiasm of the Saxon, and the cherished
credulity of JOHN BULL, There is no truth in our
national music if Mr. J. Bvcu LLOYD should
again appear on the Municipal hustings, as the
representative of the conquering electors. His
being there, will be an insult to their common
understanding, and not one jot less so than bring.
ing Sir GEORGE BON EIAM forward a second time to
explain himself, and outrage the Parliamentary
constituency of the Borough. However, Mr. J.
BUCK LLOYD has a perfectly Constitutional right to
offer himself if he, pleases, with the distinct
understanding, that the majority who voted Against
his return on SatiirdaY last, are' morally bound to
redouble their efforts to defeat his election
this time. They cannot suffer themselves to
be suspected of childishness, where great prin-
ciples are at stake. Gentlemen of Mr. LLOYD'S
stamp do not change their opinions in a few days,
nor do honest and independent Electors abandon
their convictions with greater precipitancy. No
doubt, then, the latter will be found ready to meet
Mr:lAm again at the poll. We have already
heard two names mentioned as his opponents,
should he think of putting Lime Street Ward upon
its metal, and either of them will be sure to reC6iye
the same, if not a much larger, number of votes
than Mr. J. R. JEFFERY pollect• Mr. LLOYD and
his party know, therefore, what they have to
expect. The independent Electors will not flinch
from their recently recorded belief; that he is' not
a fit and proper person to represent the traders
of the shopkeepers' Ward. They will be i'6Dre-
sented by men engaged in trade as they,, are—
taxed as they are—and responsible. as they are—
for the extravagance and abuses of the Council.

In the full sincerity of our commiseration, we
wish we could allay Mr. J BUCK LLOYD'S pain, by
indulging in fables and poetry. But we have no
choice in such matters. We must speak the truth.
Facts constitute our stock in-trade, and, verily, our
magazine is amply primed. Let the sceptical
only refer to our file for the last three years.

The Q leen, accompanied by the Duchess of Brabant,
walked in the Home Park this morning. His Royal
Iligness Prince Albert, with the Duke of Brabant, were out
shooting. The Princess Royal rode on horseback. Prince
Arthur and the Princesses Helena and Louisa took a
carriage drive.

We have, this day, with deep regrst, to announce the
death of the above gentleman, which took place on Tuesday
night, under circumstances peculiarly. melancholy. Mr.
Ashlin, about seven o'clock, went to the baths, at George's.
pier, and ordered a warm bath. It was instantly prepared
for him, and he proceeded into the dressing-room, locking
the door as he went in. The keeper heard no unusual noise
or sound, and he took for granted that all was right. After
the lapse of half ail hour, and not hearing any stir in the
ante-room, the keeper became uneasy. He knocked at the
door, and recAving no answer, his apprehensions increased,
and he at once burst in the door. The clothes were there,
but Mr. Ashlin was not. On looking into the bath he saw
the body still there, and the head partially immersed in

t of the establishment
he was not in, and his assistant ran down. The messenger
proceeded then to Dr. M'lntyre and Mr. Councillor Wag-
staff. Both were promptly on the spot, but their assistance
was unfortunately of no avail, as life was quite gone. Mr.
Adalin was about 48 years of age, and has left a widow and
two daughters to mourn his untimely loss. It is supposed
the poor gentleman musthave been attacked with a fit, and
in this Way was suffocated in the bath. He filled the office
of Treasurer of the Health ani.Water Committee;and was
much respected by all who knew him.

Was held in the afternoon by the coroner, and a res-
pectable jury. The ..brother'of doeeaSed was examined,
but there was nothing. material in
.his evidence. John
Jones said he was a bath attendent at the Pier-head
Baths. The deceased came there .about a quarter past
seven, and appeared to be perfectly sober. Showed him
into a bath, and he was partly' undressed when witness
left him. He made the bath 98, by direction of the
deceased. He did not hear any thing until about ten
minutes past eight, when he went to the door and knocked
two or three times, as eight was the closing hour. Got
no answer, and then went into the room. Found deceased
at the bottom of the bath, his face downward, and the
back not quite covered. Called Mr. Morris, the superin-
tendent of the baths, and assisted in taking out deceased
from the bath. He was dead. Mr.. Morris corroborated
the above evidence. Dr. M'lntyre said he had examined
deceased. Death had, been caused by drowning. The
deceased having stogd at first, erect in the bath, had, no
doubt, been seized with a fit`of syncope, and fell face first

THURGDAY'S LECTURES IN HOPE HALL.—The Rev. Dr.
Hetherington, of Edinburgh, is engaged to deliver the
fliurth of these lectures this gveuing. The subject which
he is to elucidate is +"
The State and Prospects of Chris_
tianity in the East of Europe and West of Asia, corn pris-
ingthe Turkish Empire, with an account of the Greek
Church." To those who desire to observe " the signs of
the times," a dissertation on this subject must be pos-
sessed- of strong- attractions. The great talent, the
extensive-and profound erudition, and the keen philosophic
spirit of the distinguished lecturer, are a ample guarantee
for a first rate disquisititon on his part. Christopher
Bushell, Esq., is to occupy the chair.
CORtINERS INQUESTS —Yesterday, the coroner held an
inquest on the body of James Burrow, a discharged
Soldier from the 60th Min, who jumped overboard from
the :Steamer Standard, on her passage from Dublin to
pivorpool. From the evidence of Luke Flanagan, second
mate-of the ship, it appeared that on Monday last, the
deceased and fourteen comrades of his were passengers
from Dublin.- The deceased appeared to be labouring
under what the witness called, " horrors of drink," alias
delirium tremens. About five on Monday evening, when
the vessel was about fifteen miles from Dublin, the
deceased jumped -from the bow of the vessel into the
Water. James Goofilow, the steward of the ship, at once
jumped overboard, and the captain flung him a life buoy,
with which he held up the deceased. The ship was at
once put atfout, and in a brief period a boat was lowered,

and the deceased was taken on board, and all the means
at hand were resorted to, but failed to produce any effect, as
he did inetrally. Verdict siticide under temporary insanity.
[The second mate of the ship in the above case, stated
teat Goodiew had risked his life to save the unfortunate
deceased, and, but for his exertions, the body would not
have been. got at all. He said he never saw more gallant
conduct iniafs life. The Coroner and jury passed a well
ddAerved compliment on the humane conduct of the young
nisin, and trusted that the fact would be brought under the
notice of the Humane Society.] The following is a portion
of the evidence given by the steward :—I saw the deceased
in tlievirater; an I said to the captain, I will jump over-
'board for him. He said no, don't, you will be drowned, as
the sea is too high and heavy. I WC: I can depend on my
swimming., I then jumped overboard, and the captain
threw Me-a life buoy:- ght hold of deceased, and found
him insensible. I kept him up until we were both taken
into the boat.—On the.body of John Farrell, aged 18 years,
who was employed by Mr. M'Cormick at. the Nora]. End
Dock, and wha came by his death as follows :—The duty
of the deceased was to unhook the waggons when brought
.out of the dock; the waggons were drawn up by an engine,
and, in unhooking one, the deceased struck his foot against
a piece. of timber, and fell across the line, and, one of the
waggons passing on, killed;? him. It did not appear that
there was any blame attachable to any one. Verdict

have a scarcity of shipping in the port, and freights,
generally, are higher, The low rates ruling to the

greatly checked by scarcity of tonnage, for which
