possession ! We still wage a rose-water war, and
will not grapple with the stern realities of our
position. Sebastopol will be captured, and the
effect of its loss tried on Russia, before we pro-
ceed to the next step to punish her contumacy
and perverse obstinacy. It ought not to be so,
nor would it, if the Government were less under
the influence of Germanism and Coburgism.
But, unfortunately, we must deal with the
materials on hand, and base our calcula-
tions on the existing elements. Besides,
the coast from Odessa to Perekop, and the rivers
Dneister, Boug, and Dnieper, will be work for
the smaller steamers and boats. The first -rates
cannot be occupied thereon.
The Danube has also been mentioned ; but
beside that it would, like the other rivers, be
merely work for pigmies, which giants could not
be called on to perform, it appears that the indis-
pensable operations in that site are provided for
from another source. The Courrier de Marseilles
positively affirms, and with much apparent truth,
that the purchase of the fleet of steamers plying
on the Rhone hasbeen concluded, for the purpose
of removing the Russian power on the Danube.
There are in all 97 boats in this fleet, which will
be adequate for all the river work, the necessity
whereof was so strangely disregarded by England
up to this time. Our faithful Ally well merits
the honour of this important movement, which
will unquestionably be productive of the
most startling results, and convince Russia,
aye, and Austria, that we are really in
earnest ; but it proves also that the efforts at
Kamiesch cannot be intended for the Danube,
and leaves Sebastopol as the sole quarter against
which it can possibly be directed. We rejoice at
this, for we have no doubt that the result of the
combined attack will be such as we long since
indicated, and which we pointed out as the best
course even last year, before the land defences on
the south side had been so powerfully strengthened
by the engineering efforts of General TODLEBEN
and his staff. What we then explained is even
at this moment no less feasible, and affords the
most auspicious auguries for the success of the
Allied arms.

" let the cat out of the bag," and even before
the publication of the recent papers—which the
Hon. Member for the Wick Burghs adopted as the

complicity of England's Plenipotentiary in
the hollow propositions of Austria, he was
brought to the bar of public opinion,
and unanimously convicted on irresistible
testimony. His plea of " guilty" was forced on
him under the pressure of the " peine fort et

crastinate under any plea of expediency.

This Company is not to be regarded as a new institution. but simply
as an extension and reconstruction, on the proprietary system, of the
Solvency Mutual Guarantee Company, which, since its complete re-
g,.tration in 1652, has, even with the limited powers afforded by the
pureiy mutual constitution, and in the race of many and vast diftl-
caltiesr4achieved a position and attained an amount of business which
it is confidently asserted have never been equalled by any institution
within the same time. This success it is believed will be greatly aug-
mented and consolidated by a further development of its powers.
The plan as now extended offers to shareholders a safe and (espe-
cially by means of the discount branch) lucrative investment, be-
, sides reserving to them one-third of the profits arising from the gua-
rantee business of the Company. The remaining two-thirds of these
profits to be divided among the assured members, who, in addition
to the advantages conferred by their guarantees, will derive legiti-
mate and most valuable assistance through the Discount, Reference,
and Debt Recovery Departments.
' The business of the Company, which by the Deed of Constitution
may be greatly extended, comprises chiefly—
The DEBT GUARANTEE DEPARTMENT.
T application of the principle of assurance to this purpose is
base upon accurately compiled tables, by which it is demonstrated
that, among the immense number of merchants, bankers, manufac-
turers, and traders of Great Britain, there is, in each occupation,
within equal periods, a determinate average amount of insolvency.
The operations of this department comprise :-
1. Gross Annual Return Guarantees, embracing the total sales of
a trader for allied term.
2., Mating Elsie Guarantees, insuring only a specified part of an-
nual sales,

But such was not the case with Mr. LAING—
" CußTitts"-like, he voluntarily sprung into the
gaping gulf in which so many public characters
had previously been entombed, and gloried in the
gratuitous sacrifice ! It was his own " act and
deed," for which he was solely responsible ; and
we can only regret that one for whom, in common
with the community at large, we entertained a
high respect, and looked forward to as one of the
" coming men," should so unnecessarily and reck-
lessly have abandoned the high position he had
previously occupied.
The Honourable Gentleman brought no new
light on the subject. He merely pursued the
beaten track that had previously been traversed
by GLADSTONE, GRAHAM, and HERBERT, MILNER
GIBSON, BRIGHT, and COBDEN*. He might not
have proceeded at so rapid a pace, or arrived at
so advanced a stage as these Right Hon. and Hon.
Gentlemen. He does not yet applaud Russia, but
ha justifies Austria. He has not assumed the
Muscovite livery, but he has donned the Germanic
uniform, and proudly sported the Coburg badge.
We regret the star that has fallen from the poli-
tical hemisphere, that no longer is regarded with
respect and almost veneration, but is proved to
be a mere shapeless mass of worthless material.

g. Special Risk Guarantees, covering separate risks, at premiums
_varying according to the nature of each case.
The BANKING and DINCOUNT DEPARTMENT.
The objects of this department are, by discounting trade bills
covered by guarantees issued by the Company, to afford to the share.
holders a safe profit, and to the assured the advantages of a " dis-
coult account "in union with a guarantee on their gross annual
ales.

' The system adopted will, when fully developed, differ in no mate-
rial respect from the usual business of the Joint Stock Banks.
The operations of this department compriso Chiefly-
1. The discount of trade bills covered by guarantees issued by this
Company on gross annual returns. A preference will be given to
< the business of shareholders.
_ _

2. The discoant of claims admitted under any of the guarantee
departments, but not due.
3. The receiving of moneys on debentures or deposit receipts.
The discounting of bills is strictly limited to approved trade bills
not having more than four months to run and covered by policies
issued by the " Debt Guarantee Department." It is obvious that
this last mentioned restriction must givelo the paper under discount
a security more perfect than ordinarily pertains to such invest-
ments.

Persons therefore who seek for a permanent or temporary invest-
ment at their surplus capital at the highest rate of interest comps,
tibia with safety, will find in this branch of the Company's operations
a means certainly not less safe and remunerative than any afforded
by the Joint-stock and private banks.
. _ _

The deed of constitution provides for an annual division of the
profits, after the following equitable scheme :
One-third.—To the shareholders as a bonus, in addition to the
entire profits arisin4 from the use of their capital in the discount de-
partment.

He now comes forward to tell us that the
Western Powers have, since the publication of the
latest documents, forfeited the good opinion of
Europe ; that they are no longer regarded with
confidence and friendship by " men of business "
in other nations on account of their refusal to act
in accordance with the suggestions, or rather the
dictates, of Austria. "It was felt (he said) that
we had committed a great mistake in so doing."
The Honourable Gentleman, however, produced
no evidence in support of the assertion. It
was merely his own impressions and arguments
which he detailed to the House, and these he
urged with all the zeal of a recent convert, al-
though not powerfully enough to satisfy the fasti-
dious, and, on that point, almost fanatic, taste of
the Honourable Member for the West Riding,
who deemed it necessary to grapple with the as-
sertion that the War had ever been necessary or
justifiable.

Tivo-thirds.—To the assured, to be divided according to the rules;
one-hair to be applied annuallyin reduction of future premiums, and
the remaining half to be applied in the formation of a reserved fund.

Mr. LAING'S conversion has, however, only
been since the rejection of the latest propositions
of Austria. That, according to the Honourable
Gentleman, was the first Ministerial mistake.
The Government should at once have accepted
the duty of gratuitous guardians of the Black
Sea, bound to keep watch and ward over Russia,
and to preserve Turkey from the perpetually
impending danger. In tender consideration for
the scruples of Russia, there was to be no limita-
tion on her, although the Western Powers were
to be restrained by red-tape ligaments. She was
to bring forward any naval force she thought pro-
per, while France and England were to be limited
to half the number ! She would make them bow
themselves beneath the yoke ; and Austria, the
pretended friend of the Allies, would induce them
to do so, as if they had been the suppliants foi
Russian forbearance, and deSired her permis-
sion to withdraw from the contest !

It is ridiculous to call it " counterpoise,"
for the aggressor, whose only possible purpose
could be conquest and annexation, might increase
her power to any extent, while the guardian.,
should wait until the marauders had made the
addition to their means cf attack before they
raised theirs to half the amount, sufficient, per
haps, to meet the victors of " Sinope" and of
" Hango " in fair fight, but not to ensure peace.
If Russia has deliberately rejected the too lenient
terms offered, Austria has put forward that which
Lord CLARENDON truly designated as "inadequate
and impracticable," and she would not even
pledge herself to enforce these terms if re-
jected, but merely hinted that some "fourth
system might arise out of the ashes of the
three systems now floating in the air." She
would not even make the refusal of her own
proposition a cases belli. Of this there is un-
questionable evidence, for Lord JOHN RUSSELL
may be regarded as an unimpeachable witness on
such a point. The debate was rather unexpec-
tedly adjourned, the House breaking up in much-
admired confusion. We earnestly hope that it
may not be renewed, for no further discussion
can be beneficial to the nation, or to the cause
which an overwhelming majority of the people
are irrevocably determined to sustain and support.

THIS EVENING.

There is reason to believe that the importance
of scientific research is not, generally speaking,
adequately appreciated. The public are wont
to look upon science as something too abstract and
recondite to warrant sympathy with its disciples,
and it is only when the application of its resources
has results as patent as propulsion by steam or
communication by electricity that their apprecia-
tion verges towards the mark.
There is, notwithstanding, reason to be grateful
that the researches of men of science in the
laboratory of Nature have been rewarded, and
will, doubtless, continue to be so by discoveries of
the greatest value to mankind discoveries
tending materially to ameliorate their con-
dition, and particularly by the prevention
and cure of many destructive forms of
disease. Striking illustrations of this have
been presented in our fleets in the Baltic and the
Black Sea, where, by the judicious application of
Sir WILLIAM BURNETT'S disinfecting fluid, pesti-
lence has in numerous instances been stayed, and
a wholesome atmosphere secured, under the most
unfavourable circumstances with the most satis-
factory results. In one case, that of H.M.
troop-ship Timandra, at Scutari, where the two
assistant-surgeons in charge had not only to
render their professional services to 200 sick men
unable to go on deck, and constantly using the
bed-pans with not a soul to empty them, but had
also to discharge the offices of nurse, they were
enabled by attention and the free use of the dis-
infecting fluid to keep the place sweet and whole-
some, so that no casual visitor could have de-
tected the preceding fact, the result being that
even the most offensive cases of gangrene were
treated with success. In H.M. ship the Prince
Regent, the surgeon was induced to use it after a
case of cholera and, several of diarrhoea had
occurred, and he was rewarded by an entire
cessation of attacks. In H.M. ship the James
Watt, which lost two men by cholera at
Bomarsund, the employment of the disinfecting
quid was followed by the same results, and to
the use of this preventive the exemption from
disease of her Majesty's ships Bulldog, Arrogant,
Gorgon, Dragon, Driver, and half-a-dozen others,
is confidently ascribed. The crowded state of
ships of war, and the facilities there unavoidably
offered for the spread of disease in its most viru-
lent types, have only to be considered to cause us
to feel grateful that such an agent was in these
instances forthcoming. At the present time it is
not too much to say no household should be with-
out it, and it should be immediately employed
when the existence of any offensive smell is ascer-
tained. Life is sweet ; and, thanks to science,
by the use of the disinfecting fluid, the ravages
of cholera, and other forms of zymotic disease,
may be averted.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1855.

The session of 1855 has been remarkable for
political suicides. The Peelites have furnished,
perhaps, the most striking, Mr. LAING the latest
`instance. The Hon. Gentleman has followed the
example of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and irretriev-

The views w hick we have repeatedly put for
ward respecting a combined attack on Sebastopol
by land and water seem to obtain additional con-
fimatiou every day. The extraordinary prepara-
rations at Kamiesch could not have been made
for nothing. That something was on the Lapis
was palpable, but opinion was divided as to the
destination of the contemplated expedition. Some
would have it that Genitehi and the Putrid Sea
was the object of attack ; but that was merely a
matter for ship's boats and launches, not for the
vessels themselves. The larger classes could not
even find their way into the Sea of Azoff ; and
our lamented hero, Captain LYONS, had
proved that English frigates were fully com-
petent for all the work that could be cut out
for them in that quarter, and that there was,
therefore, no possible necessity or even utility for
putting men-of-war into motion for what could
be most effectually disposed of at a much less ex-
penditure
of power. Odessa, and the entire course

Dniester, theßoug, and the Dnieper was then
scoured, and even the rivers themselves might be
visited, and Nicolaieff, the Portsmouth of Southern
Russia, destroyed with all its vast stores of ship-
building materials, which, if left to itself, would
speedily replace the fleet, one portion of which
was voluntarily sunk at the entrance of the har-
bour of Sebastopol, and the residue thereof can
scarcely hope to escape unscathed from the trap
in which it is secured.

But we fear that Odessa is not as yet
aimed at. We have not displayed suffi-
cient evidence of earnestness or determination
to cripple Russia to warrant the expectation that
