THE DIY'S NEWS.

Our readers will find in another column the copy
of a memorial which is about being got up for
presentation to the Mayor and Council at their
next monthly meeting. This is a step in the right
direction. And when the document in question is
unrolled in the Council Chamber, with its thousands
of shoatures, the pro-Pikeists will stare with
wonder and astonishment. But as these two
mental powers are the precursors of what
SOr-'lO metaphysicians term a faculty—attention,
they will then listen to the remonstrance of the
inhabitants-who seek to employ the surface waters
Of the Rivingtou Lakes in their legitimate purpese,
avid not to domestic 1.;,,,e5, including cooking, We
have heard. of q`..:rtain doings of the Water Com-
mittee, wl7tich will form the subject of remark in
to-morroWs paper. These doings certainly remind
of the Scriptural declaraiion, " that the children
of this world are wiser in their generation than
the children of light."
The other local incidents of the day, are of the
ttsual character, and do not require any comment
thereon. We would, however, draw attention to
Vic case of Child Stealing, which was heard at the
Police Court yesterday, and will be sound reported
ii n another column.

We publish to-day a trial of a report for Libel at
the Court of Queen's Benefit, and cannot but
regard the doctrine of Lord Campbell as one of the
most dangerous in character, and deadly in effect,
Which it has been our lot ever to have heard. And
We cannot hesitate in endorsing the opinions of
one of our London cotemporaries, who says
:
The Durham County Advertiser, a respectable
Journal, printed a faithful report of a meeting of
the Hartlepool Improvement Commissioners, a
public body legally constituted. Speeches appear
to have been made of a highly indiscreet elurvac-
ter, involving personalities. The speeches
w-re faithfully given ; and the question which the
Chief Justice was called upon to settle upon n
d,unurrer was, whether the newspaper could be
justified in law in reporting that which was spoken
fire such an assembly injurious to any individual.
Lord Campbell, without going very elaborately into
the count, and without, as far as we hear, having
produced his authorities, has decied that reports
of public meetings in the newspapers, however
faithful and however true, are subjected to
the law of libel. Nov, the practice of accurate,J.
reporting has been carried to a great extent both
M London. and the metropolis, and it has always
been a well understood maxim in the editorial
11-.ofession that no penalty could attach to any
right record of our public courts or public assem-
blies. The dictum, however, of a single judge, un-
supported by a jury, has reversed this well recog-
nized principle, and in futute, unless this dietim
can be put aside, every journalist in the British
empire will require, that reports of courts and meet-
ings shall he unfaithful where anything in
these reports may effect personal character ; or, if
faithful, the journalist must be prepared to suffer
the consequences. The operation of a new law like
this will act most disasterously upon our prvincial
contemporaries, and if carried out to its fullest
extent will destroy that great characteristic of.
English journalism, its honest and faithful record
• -of public proceedings• The first step to be taken
by every newspaper in the United Kingdom is to
protest. The next step must be the subject for
conference and combined action.
London and the suburbs seem to have been the
scene of several disasters on Sunday. A dreadful
and destructive fire took place in the Minories, and
a serious explosion of gas is reported to have
occurred in Southwark. Fortunately in both cases
tar) lives were lost.
We have a variety of continental news this
morning. That from the East is of the most war-
like character. Bushiie it seems was not c tptured
without loss of life, nor is it likely to be the last
blood spilt in this unfortunate quarrel. Affairs at
('anton were quite as bad as the oreceding despatch
represented them, and Sir John Bowling had
applied to the Indian Government for troops, so
Cult Lord Canning, between war in the west and
war in the east, would find his hands pretty full
The Emperor of the French has received the

Persian Ambassador. The latter addressed his
Imperial Majesty, expressing his gratification at
entering upon such a mission, and at such a time
The Emperor, in his reply, expressed a hope that
the mission of Fermi: Khan would be instrumen-
tal in establishing peace between England and
Persia. Speaking of ahe Franco-Persian treaty
of commerce recently concluded, ho also pointed
out to the Oriental Ambassador that friendship
between nations is best secured by well estab-
lished commercial relations.
There is a variety of news from Austria. Ac.
cording to dispatches from Milan and Turin, a
tiolitical amnesty has been proclaimed, at which
Ite public rejoicings were exceedingly great. This
is a move on the part of the young Emperor to
gain the affections of his Italian subjects. We
:ire teltell that the order for the Austrian
-troops to withdraw from the Principalities
has left Vienna. It appears that they will have to
begin their move in the first days of the month
of Nlarch, and must have completed it, according
to the arrangement come to at Paris, on the 30th of
of that mouth. The news, when known in Vienna,
produced a favourable influence on the Bourse.
At the same time a reduction of the Austrian
military establishment, though a very limited
one, is said to have been resolved upon.
It will only extend to those regiments that are
still on a war footing. They will now all be
brought back to their normal state. From all we
can learn there is now no doubt that the Austrian
Credit Mlbilier hiss turned out a total failure. The
dividend which it is about to declare will be twelve
florins only, In consequence of this, the shares

as these 300,000 shares, the outcry is great. The

deaf to all warnings.
On perusing the Nord, of Brussels, ;ye, find an
outline of the late Paris Concrranee. It simply
tvaa!es the frontier between Bessarabia and Mol-
davia, gives the islands of the Danube, including
the Serpents Isle, to Turkey, and fixes the 30th of
March as the latest date for the execution of these
arrangements, and the evacuation of the Turkish
waters and the Principalities by the foreign forces
The Nord says that no ratification of the pfotocel
has been deemed necessary, and that a future con-
ference will formally make it part of the Treaty of
Paris. Letters from Vienna, however, distinctly
affirm that it is about to be ratified by the Austrian

The political news from the -United States, a
summary of which appear( d in the whola of our
impression of yesterday, does not possess many
feattnes of importance. Congress are not making
much progress in the despatch of business, and
there is nothing new regarding the Cabinet of Mr.
Buchanan. The House of Representatives, in
order to purge itself from several serious complaints
of corruption and political jobbing, had appointed
a select committee to investigate the charges
and report thereupon. From Central America
We are informed that at San Juan no tidings had
boon received of Wilker for some days previously.
Scott had quarrelled with him and stoppel running
his boats, and Walker had seized for his own use
all the steamers on the lake. and rivers. The
church of G iudaloupe was still held by the
Americans, who refused to surrender, though des-
titute and subsisting on horseflesh. They were to
be attacked immediately, after which the bulk of the
allied army would proceed to operate with General
Canas aeainst San Juan and Virgin Bay. The loss
of the filibusters since 24th November was stated
at 300 ; that of the alliea small. Private letters
state that the Indians at Ometero had risen
against Walker, and killed 15 filibusters. Walker,
with 150 men, had attempted to retake Granada,
but was repulsed. Canas, the commander of the
Costa Rican forces against Walker, was near, or in
Rivas on the 12th, with 600 men. Walker had
400 men at St. George, a mile or two fain Rivas,
and Canas wrote that he should attack the
Americans next day, unless Walker took the
initiative. The whole force against the filibusters
now in the field, according to Costa Rica papers, is
about 2,000 man ; 5)0 more from Salvador and
from 'Costa Rica would enter Nicaragua imme-
diately. Walker's whole force was reckoned not to
exceed 800.

Later accounts from Australia are to hand by
the Overland Mail, but as they are only telegraphic
despatches, we must wait the arrival of the letters
and papers for details.

THE policy of the Persian war is discussed very
freely both in India and in England. The Indian
politician goes into the subject in detail, calcu-
lating the probable losses and gains of ephemeral
power, and ends by examining all the great and
little territorial and financial considerations of a
complioated and comprehensive Imperial line of
action. Critics at home take equally absurd
views of the difficulty, and give to our movements
in the Far East a purely European significance.
One employs political, and the other moral, philo-
sophy to sustain their opinions ; but both seem
to have forgotten that we have entered on a career
of boundless conquest in Asia, and that to hold
what we have already subjugated, we must go
on step by step. Whether these steps must be
taken in rapid succession, or whether we shall be
allowed to move forward at our leisure, the cur-
rent of events must decide. If the Indian Go-
vernment were left to themselves, they would no
doubt take their own time in the matter ; and if
Persia's apprehensions had not been inflamed
by European intrigue, the SHAII might possibly
have remained passive for some time to come.
But there was a strong feeling of internal dis-
quietude, and a heavy pressure on our frontier
was brought to bear simultaneously on the Indian
Government, to which they were constrained
to yield.

On arriving in India, Viscount CANNING was
met by the cry of " The Russians are coming !
" Affghanistan is in danger." The Treasury was
at a very low ebb, and the prospects of revenue
was unpromising. A Russian army did push
forward towards the Persian frontier, the SHAH
became dangerous, al d the British expedition
had scarcely reached the Persian Gulf before the
Czar ALEXANDER'S troops were reported to have
"seized Astrabad (a Persian fortress), as a mate-
" rial guarantee for the security of Persia !"
Now it is more than likely that our new spirit of
annexation induced the SHAH to appeal to
Russia for help, and that our first steps of
aggression have thus precipitated us into a war
in which we may have to meet some thirty or
forty thousand Russian troops. It is certain,
however, that the difficulty in which we are
involved is one of the natural sequences which
are to follow the course we have been pursuing ;
and whether it arrived in 1856, or remained
hanging over us for the next twenty years, is a
matter of little moment. Our military strength
in India is quite equal to the work before it ; and
as we have some considerable force at home
which is in every way ready for the field, we may
venture to say "there is no time like the pre-
" sent." Driving the Russians out of India, and
restraining their lawlessness in Europe, appears
to be the mission specially assigned to Great
Britain, and, the moment for renewed action will
arrive with the first shot fired from Astrabad, or
on the Persian soil by Muscovite hands. Alliances
are matters of evanescent policy. They may be
incalculable blessings to-day, and inestimable
scourges to-morrow. And it is well to know
that if we are strong in Europe, our strength is
overwhelming in Asia.
In a war, in which India can play her legiti-
mate part, we shall be released from nine-tenths
of the dangers and delicacies which surround us
as an empire. Our Indian army, in numbers and
discipline, are equal to every undertaking which
belongs to the maintenance and extension of our
dominion in the East, and this leaves all the
available strength of Great Britain free to act
nearer home. But were this not the case, it
would be useless to cavil about the policy of the
Indian Government in the present instance.
The Imperial Legislature has ratified all its acts
by their approval of the late Governor General's
official career ; and, since we have entered .upon
an aggressional policy with our eyes open, the
best thing we can do is to meet the consequences
manfully, and while we take upon ourselves to teach
Persia to respect our allies, we must see that we
do not forget to satisfy Russia that her approaches
towards our eastern possessions are so many
roads leading to her humiliation and the annihi-
tion of her army. This very painful task must
