and that treaties were not worth the paper or parchment
on which they were written. Mr. Edward Miall,

Naval and Military Intelligence,

who on Wednesday evening addressed his constituents
at Rochdale, is now convinced that a prolongation of
hostilities with Russia will not conduce to the interests
of this country. We may compel Russia to evacuate the
Crimea, we may destroy Nicholaieff and Cherson, we
may capture Cronstadt ; but Europe will receive no
benefit from the humiliation of Russia. This is a ques-
tion of opinion. What reason have we for supposing
that Russia will not be as fully prepared in 1863 to com-
mence an attack upon any weaker neighbour as she was
in 1853 ? Simply because she will not have recovered
from her losses. Mr. Miall himself supplies us with the
answer. He numbers up the telling blows which have
been inflicted upon the Czar, not without a certain com-
placency, man of peace though he is. The Sea of Azoff has
been swept ; the seaboard of Circassia has been purged ;
the Turks have saved Kars, and in the next campaign se-
riously threaten Georgia ; the mouths of the Boug and
Dnieper are blockaded and Kinbourn taken; Sebastopol
has fallen ; and, last, not least, "from the beginning of the
war Russia, even by the calculation of her best friends,
has lost 300,000 choice soldiers ; in order to make good
this tremendous loss she has had eight conscriptions in
two years ; already half her army is said to consist of
raw and undisciplined levies, and already the drain
upon her fighting men has very nearly reached the ex-
tent of its capacity." Does all this constitute a reason
for making peace upon any terms, save such as will in-
disputably insure the peace of Europe against Russian
aggression at least for the lifetime of this generation ?
We cannot, of course, refuse to enter into negotiations
for peace if the terms offered by the enemy are such as
given evidence of real sincerity of purpose. The time,
however, for diplomatic feints and the chicane of inter-
cessors has completely gone by. What account could
the Emperor Napoleon give to the French nation ?
With what hope could the English Governnment face
the Parliament and the English people if they were to
give us no other return for the blood of our
friends and our children, and for the vast amount of
treasure which we have lavished on this war, tha❑ a
peace which would leave us to begin our work again
whe❑ another human crop was ripe for the sickle of the
Czar 1 We admit the full force of Mr. Miall's facts, but
we dissent entirely from his conclusion. France and
England are but beginning to feel their strength, while
Russia is staggering, and already faint with conflict.
More especially is this true of England. She was quite
unprepared for war when the conflict broke out. Her
gigantic strength has been grossly misdirected and mis-
managed, and now that we are loose from the leading-
strings of our blind guides are we not to obtain security
at least as a return for our many sacrifices ? We could
have wished that this had been a little more clearly ex-
pressed by Mr. Cardwell in the speech which he deli-
vered on Thursday evening at the Town-hall at Ox-
ford. It is a pity in a case like this to indulge
in the Delphic vein. It is clear that Mr. Card-
well thinks the guilt of this war lies at the door
of Russia. He declares it also to be our duty to shrink
from no sacrifice and to spare no exertion for the success-
ful prosecution of the cause ; but when he comes to dis-
cuss the question of making peace, he tells us that—
" Whenever it 'shall be possible, whenever terms shall be
offered which return us that satisfaction for which we
entered into the fight, it will be the duty of every man,
whatever be his station, without reference to any other
object, to let all the ends he aims at be his country's, his
God's, and truth's, and with a single purpose for the
foundation of European liberty," &c. We trust Mr.
Cardwell thinks aright upon this point, than which a
more momentous one has never occupied the attention of
European statesmen ; but it is difficult to extract mean-
ing from such grandiloquent phrases. If we are to have
peace, it must not be a nominal one, but such a peace as
will satisfy all the objects of the war and leave our
swords in their scabbards for many a year.

The new mortar-raft which was towed down from '
Woolwich on Friday week by the steam-vessel Mcnkey,
Second-Master George Syndercomb, commander, and
moored off Shoeburyness Sand, commenced her experi-
ments on Monday last with orders to fire at certain in-
tervals 300 rounds from a 13-inch mortar with a charge
of 201 b. of powder, the dead shell weighing 2001 b. Cap-
tain James C. Caffin, C. 8., R.N., and Mr. James P.
Peake, Assistant-Master Shipwright, with several other
scientific gentlemen of the Royal Navy and Artillery,
superintended the experiments. In consequence of the
state of the weather, up to Friday last only 96 rounds
had been fired, the average range of which exceeded
4,000 yards, without any visible action taking place on
the platform framing of the raft, except a few of the
planks forming the deck or platform butts starting with
the concussion. Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8.,
arrived there on Friday last, at noon. He had under
his command five seamen and the gunner of the Sinbad,
Mr. Henry Wallace. Four rounds were fired by them,
when it was discovered that there was a leak in one of
the pontoon magazines for powder. Fortunately, the
magazine had only a few charges in it. There were three
feet of water in the magazine in a very short time, and
in another of the pontoon magazines there was one foot
of water. The raft has three pontoon magazines for
powder and five pontoon shell rooms. It was found
necessary to warp the raft in on the ebb, dry, which
was shortly effected, assisted by the Monkey. The Mon-
key was sent to Sheerness to precure pumps, which were
supplied to her from the yard, and she proceeded again
the same night. The concussio❑ felt on the raft is con-
elderably less than that felt on beard the mortar-vessels
when the mortar is fired, and her displacement by dip is
scarcely perceivable. There is little doubt that the de-
scription of raft now under trial will fully realise the
most sanguine expectation of the Government as well as
the inventor of them. _ _

An interesting experiment has taken place off Shoe-
buryne-s, by setting fire to a large launch moored off
for that purpose, by firing carcasses at her as she lay.
The first that struck her burned her to the water's edge.

from head-quarters. The Jura left Portsmouth for the
Thames yesterday afternoon.
A detachment of Royal Sappers and Miners from
Woolwich arrived on Saturday evening for the purpose
of completing two companies of the same corps at
Brompton Barracks.
167 young men have joined the Medical Staff Corps,
in command of Captain Bunbury, within the last month.
Second Class Wm. Bray orooke has joined the medical
staff at Fort Pitt, on his return from the reserve battalion
at Malta.
Second Class Surgeons George William Powell and
Wellington Poole and Acting Assistant• Surgeons J. H.
Newsman and H. Beresford are ordered forthwith to
proceed by overland route to Scutari Hospital.

The order for the Royal George, 102, to proceed to
Spithead on her arrival at Sheerness has been counter-
manded, and she is to remain at Sheerness. Had she
arrived, as was anticipated, within this last day or two,
Mr. Brockman, master in the service, was in readiness
here to have piloted her round to Portsmouth to join
the grand naval review there in honour of the iKing of
Sardinia's visit to this country. Now, being too late
for the above, the report is she will proceed to Gilling-
ham (Tolly Point), a few miles below Chatham.
The new screw steam-ship Mars, 80 guns, has been
placed under the new factory shears at Sheerness, and
is receiving her new boilers, which were sunk with the
Waterwitch.
The Brandon steam-transport, Captain Jenkins, the
Sydney steam-transport, Captain Macnamara, the Ger-
mania steam-transport, and the Durham steam-transport,
Captain Starks, all arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday
from the East. The Brandon brought Ensign Bur-
goyne, of the 93d, Assistant-Surgeon Grant, Staff-Sur-
geon Williams, Quartermaster Carney, 3 sergeants, 10
orderlies, 98 military invalids, Lieutenant Still, R. 41..,
Lieutenant Roe, 12th Lancers, and a Greek spy. These
she landed at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday after-
noon, and the invalids were taken to Forehouse Bar-
racks. The Durham left on Saturday night for the
Thames. The Sydney brought 54 invalids, 2 women,
Major and Mrs. Haokett, Mrs. Turner, 3 children, 1
servant, Dr. Barrett, in medical charge, and Mr. Swann,
his assistant ; proceeded to Smyrna, and took in 63 in-
valids, Mrs. Bowler, nurse, 2 civil orderlies, and 1 sol-
dier's wife. She spoke her Majesty's ship Albion going
into Gibraltar on the 24th ult. Mr. Crealock, Paymas-
ter, R.N., and Mrs. Potter joined at Malta. She spoke
the Edendale transport going into Malta on the 18th
Nov., and the Bombay and True Briton transports on the
same day ; and the Belmont, of Plymouth, on the 30th ;
she was in company with the Australian transport
three days—the 18th, 19th, and 20th. The Germania

shire Militia ; 22 men, 2 women, and 1 child of the Lan-
cashire Militia—total, 118 men, 31 women, and 45 chil-
dren from the lonian Islands ; 4 men and 1 woman died
on the passage. The Germania spoke off Cani Rock the
English bark Syria, steering east, Nov. 21 ;',on the 28th,
in lat. 44 32 W., long. 8 48, passed the English yacht
Wave Queen, steering north ; on the 30th, about 25
miles S.W. of the Start Point, passed a schooner bat.
tened up, appeared to be an English vessel laden with
fruit, and afterwards a boat bottom np, supposed to be-
long to the schooner.
Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, K.C.8., G.C.H.,
the Commander-in-Chief elect of Portsmouth, visited
that port on Saturday.
The Mary freight-ship sailed from Portsmouth on Fri-
day night.
Her Majesty's screw ?steam-ship Exmouth, 90, Capt.
NV. K. Hall, and the sailing frigate Meander, 44, Capt.
T. Baillie, towed by the steam-stoop Hecla, 6, Comman•
der Aplin, left Plymouth Sound at E o'clock yesterday
morning to join the fleet assembled at Spithrwl in honour
of the visit of his Majesty the King of Sardinia. Great
activity has been observed at Devonport in preparing
these ships for sea, in compliance with the unexpected
instructions of the Lords of the Admiralty. The crew
of the Exmouth, recently returned from the Baltic,
housed lower yards and topmasts on Tuesday, ftr d
on Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, she went into
d ck and had her copper examined and repaired. The
en4ineers were at work on her machinery nearly all
night. On Thursday morning she was taken out of dock
and placed at her sailing moorings. While her crew
were busily employed shifting over from the Vigo hulk,
which they entered only on Wednesday, they received
sudden orders to get ready for sea. Notwithstanding
that many were absent on leave, topmasts were swayed
up and fitted, topgallantrnasts pointed, and sails bent
the same night. On Friday she trok in provisions, a new
sheet cable, and 233 tons of coal —a quantity of fuel
said to be greater than ever taken on board any man-of-
war in one day. On Saturday morning the ship was
clean and in every respect ready for service. She left
Hanmaze with topgallantyards across at 9 o'clock for
Plymouth Sound, whert she,received her powder and
shell, and waited orders. It is satisfactory to add that
Captain Hall is greatly esteemed by all his officers and
crew.

Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour shifted his flag on
Friday morning from the Exmouth, 90, to La Hogue,
60, Captain Ramsay. In the evening the Admiral in-
spected the Exmouth prior to her leaving the harbour.
Shipwrights will commence to-day laying blocks in
slips Nos. 2 and 4, in the Devonport dockyard, for the
constructi.in of two steam gun-boats. The order was
received on Saturday, and the boats are to be built with
extraordinary despatch.
The hospital ship Belleisle, having been repaired, was
taken out out of dock at Devonport, on Saturday.
The barque Alfred, with provisions for Jamaica, sailed
from Plymouth on Saturday. The transport Castle Eden,
with convicts for Bermuda, and the Sir G. Pollock are
expected there shortly. The latter embarks 240 soldiers
for the West Indies—viz., a detachment of the 36th
Foot for Jamaica ; 67th, for Trinidad ; and 69th, for
Barbadoes.
The Brigade of Royal Marines which, as already
stated, arrived at Portsmouth by the Jura, were landed
from the Black Sea fleet towards the close of Septem-
ber, 1854, and were immediately encamped before
Balaklava to protect that important position, which
we then seized and have since then made the basis of
our operations in the Crimea. Soon after the land-
ing of this force at the request of Lord Raglan, a
detachment of about 300 men were sent to the
front, where they did duty with the Light Division,
and were employed during the winter in the trenches.
Early in March this detachment was withdrawn from
the camp of the Light Division, and rejoined the main
body on the heights of Balaklava. While in this posi-
tion the Marines were employed with the rest of the
troops under Sir Colin Campbell, and marched in the
different reconnaisances made during the winter by that
general to examine the enemy's position. They wets
also frequently under arms, when the enemy threatened
the lines of Balaklava, especially on the 25th of October,
and during the action of the Tchernaya on the 16th of
August. All the officers and men of the present force
are fresh from the recent expedition to the estuary of the
Dneiper, where the capture of the fortress of Kinbourn
by the allied arms has opened the gates of Nicolaieff
and Cherson. Col. Hurdle, who was recalled to Eng-
land after the conclusion of the operations against Kin-
bourn, has arrived as a passenger in this ship, accom-
panied by his aide-de-camp Captain Ellice. The batta-
lion under the orders of Lieut.-Col. Holloway embarked
on board the Jura at Kamiesh, on the 11th ult., left
Balaklava on the 13th, and arrived at Constantinople
on the 14th, after a passage of about 24 hours. Lea
Constantinople on the evening of the 15th, and reached
Malta on Sunday evening, the 18th. The detachment
of Marines belonging to the Queen was put on board
that ship at Constantinople, and Captain Gwynne and

H. 1-. IR MuTIILB.

On Saturday, Mr. Baker, the coroner, opened an in-
quest at the Princess Alice, Murray-street, Hoxton, re
specting the death of George James -M‘Neill, aged 4
years, and Edwin M'Neill, about 3 years old.
Henry Charles Pickering, who was examined at the
Worship street Police court before Mr. Hammill, was
the first witness. He repeated the evidence he gave
before the magistrate. He added that the razor with
which the poor children's throats were cut was his pro-
perty, and that it had been Wien oat of a box which
was locked.

Eleanor Pickering, wife of the last witness, said that
she had resided in the house above a twelveruonth. Dur-
ing the whole time the accused had been subject to mel-
ancholy, which had came upon her after the birth of her
last child. Witness always understood that she was
married, and that a gentleman, by whom she was con-
stantly visited, and who we❑t by her name, was her hus-
band. It was only in consequence of a oonversatiosi
with her washeerwoman she ascertained that she was not
married.

Coroner—Are you aware who is the gentleman by
'hom she was visited 1

Inspector Hutton, N division, said that it was a Mr.
James Williams, and that he was at the police•station,
Robert-street, on Friday evening. The accused was
formerly a servant to Mr. Williams.
Evidence was then gone into, corroborative of that
given by Mr. Pickering as to the discovery of the body
and the cash-box, which was found upon the stairs.

, .
The inspector produced the cash-box, in which were
six sovereigns, four silver table-spoons, two dessert ditto,
six silver tea-spoons, forks, &c., a quantity of memoranda
and letters. _

The inquiry was then adjourned till this day, and
Mr. William was directed to be summoned.

INTENTIONS AND MANUFACTURES AT TIM ABCHI•
TECTURAL EIHIBITION,—Tbe intimation that the Conn-
cil of the Royal Institute of Architects have agreed to
the request that they should appoint a jury, who will
award certificates of merit to such exhibitors of mate
rials, inventions, and manufactures, connected with
architecture, as they may think entitled to them, will
lead, we should think, to the exhibition of a very largo
number of interesting objects, and render the Exhibi-
tion practically valuable to all concerned or interested
in works of construction. A certificate of merit from
from such a committee as they will, doubtless, appoint
must prove of no small value to the recipient. Our
readers have probably observes that a conversazions
will be held on every Tuesday evening, when papers on
art will be read. These meetings will have the effect of
bringing large numbers of the public to inspect the works
exhibited.—The Builder.

[ADVERTISEMENT ] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills
extraordinary Remedies for the Cure of Bad Legs.--Ex•
tract of a letter from Mr. John Anthony, residing near
Llandovery, dated March 16, 1855 :—" To Professor
Ho:loway. Sir,—l suffered for 10 years with a bad leg,
app•trently a white swelling, which caused me to keep
my bed for two years; from an injury afterwards it
formed into a wound, and 16 pieces of bone were taken
out. I tried several medical men, but they could not
cure my leg. I am, however, happy to say that your
ointment and pills healed the wound in about one
month."—Sold by all vendors of medicine, at Professor
Holloway's establishments, 244, Strand, London, and
