LONDON, TUESDAY, Auourr 17, 1894.
Despatches were yesterday receivittl at the Admiralty, by
the Lightning steam-racket, from Sir Harry Neale, corn-
manaing the British squadron off Algiers. Then des-
patches are dated the 26th July, and they confirm the gra-
tifying hitelligence, previously received via Marseilles, of
the secbnd submission of the Dey to the power of Great
Britain.
We understand that Sir Harry Neale states in his des-
patches, that havieg on the 24th placed his squadron in
their proper positions for an attack on the town of Algiers,
be was about to commence the action, when a negotiation
began, which terminated on the following day, by the
Dey's submitting to all the conditions proposed by the
Admiral, and signing the declaral ion which had been trans-
mitted from England.' A few shots and shells had been
fired, but no lives were lost.
On the signature of the declaration by the Dey, peace
was restored, and the blockade raised.
The British Government has thus earned a fresh title to
the gratitude of Christendom . Its mighty power is stretched
forth only to humble the oppressor and assert the rights of
humanity. Wherever its name ia kno-vn, it is associated
with freedom and justice. In the greatness of England,
the world only sees the pledge of general peace anti safety.
Its course has been—
Parcels subjeetis, et tlebella-e superbos.

- - - .
1 he common benefactor of mankind, whether civilised or
earege, where good-till can and ought to be exercised ,still its
ve3gonce is never provoked by perfidy and outrage without
the infliction or that ample chastisement, or the exaction
or that clear and unqualified submission, which will pre-
vent the recurrence of future insults or injuries.

It will be seen, on reference to the French and German
papers received yesterday, that it was reported at Otless',
on the 2tth ult., that intelligence had reached the English
Legation at Constantinople, that a Greek fleet of twenty-
five vessels, from Hydra and Spezzia, hail avenged the
massacre of Ipsara, by ore of those brilliant naval exploits
which have shed such lustre on the Greek mariners, in
their struggle with their barbarous enemies. If this news
be confirmed, the triumph of the cross will be assured ;
and, unless the subtle and selfish policy of Russia should
interfere, we may look forward to the rapid decline of the
power of the crescent in Europe, sud the substitution of a
rational system of government over those fine provinces, in
accordance with the spirit of the times aial the wants of
the people. If the Turkish fleet under the Capitan Pacha
should be destroyed, the last hope of the Sublime Porte
will be extingnished. It will be beyond the feeble and
decaying resources of the Grand Sultan to make another
effort for the recovery of his lost dominion over the Greeks:
his energies, whatever they may be, must be reserved for
his defence against the new dangers that will grow up
around his fading greatness. The civilised world will re-
jeib: at the fall of an empire which has always retaired,
in unmitigated fury, that hatred of Christianity, aml con-
tempt of the arts and seitnets, which characterised its
feaceious origin. We shall look with eagerness for the con-
firmation of this report, which, we trust, will prove more
worthy of credit than, we regret to say, some previous
accounts from that quarter will warrant us in stating that
it actually deserves.

.:,me regulation of police is evidently called for with re-
spect to an abundant supply of water in those cases of
sudden conflagration which will occasionally happen in

large cities like this metropolis. We have had two very
. recent instances in which the exertions of the firemen have
been rendered almost useless, in consequence of the scar-
city of water. In most cases the fires, when they arc first
discovered, might be got under and extinguished, if water
enough could be procured. Much time, it is well known,
is always lost before the engines can be worked ; and if it
v.2re not for the party-walls and the width of the streets,
The most dreadful consequences would follow here as in
