THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1855.

were directed to salute the Russian flag ; Odessa
was spared ; Polish levies rejected, and Poland not
nientioued ; everything done indeed to

that Russia was to b© hurt as little as possible.
It was not by such processes our great com-
manders conquered India, and quieted in later
times the formidable Sikhs or the Burmese. In India
we have always diminished the territory of the
aggressors and enfeebled their power. Nor will
any other policy teach the CZARS to respect the
rights of civilised States.
There is one reason which must decide all but
the most unworthy of statesmen to concede
not a ship to Russia in the Black Sea ; and
that is, that we could now, at no very heavy
expense, take permanent possession both of
that and the Baltic, and let Russia do her worst.
If we saw good to withdraw the greater part of
our troops, or to maintain any reasonable number
of them in the Crimea, we could completely im-
prison Russia for twenty years, if she choose to
stand out, and at a very small annual cost to the
Allies. All her articles of produce would be
speedily furnished us from other countries ; her
sailors would forget how to steer a ship ; her trade
would be ruined, her exchequer bankrupt, and,
probably, domestic insurrection would close the
scene. But for the necessity of emancipating Po-
land, a naval siege of Russia, as it is by far the
cheapest, so it, might even be the best means of
humbling her arrogance.

powerful effects in encouraging or reproducing a fine growth of hair.

LETTER-CARRIERS.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE called the attention of the hon.
member to the fact, that his promises, on the part of
the Government, that the recommendations contained
in thct Report on the Past-office, relative to the letter-
carriers of the metropolis, should be speedily carried out,
remain unfulfilled.

Mr. WILSON said steps had been taken for carrying
out the. recommendation at once, and a notice on the
subject would be issued to-morrow.

THE BUDGET.

Sir H. 'WILLOUGHBY asked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer if he intended to make his Financial State-
ment before Easter ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
there were several reasons, one of which was the period
at whi ch the financial year would terminate. That
would induce him not to make his Financial Statement
until after Easter.
GENERAL EDUCATION.

Sir J. PAKINGTON rose to move for leave to bring in
a bill for the better encouragenient of general education in
England and Wales, and proceeded to address the house as
follows :—Sir, I must, in the first place, beg to express
my grateful sense of the courtesy and the fairness with
which the noble lord has permitted me to-day, a day usually
devoted to Government, to bring under the consideration
of the house the motion of which I have given notice. It
is perfectly true that after the postponement of my motion
to which I consented in consequence of the state of public
business, I might have laid the bill of which I had given
notice on the table in the same manner in which the noble
lord the member for London had introduced his measure
upon the same subject, and that I might have reserved any
statement I might have to make until the second reading
of the bill. But I was unwilling to take that course,
partly because there are several portions of this great ques-

tion of the education of the people to which I am very de-
sirous of drawing tho attention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment and of the house in a preliminary statement, such as
I am now about to make ; and partly because I confess I
feel, that in my position as an independent member of
this house, possessing no official power or influence, to
have proposed a measure upon a question of this magni-
tude, without making any statement of the grounds
upon which I did so, and of the nature of the proposal
itself which I was about to submit to the house, would,
in my humble judgment, have been an unusual course,
and a course disrespectful to the house. I am in
hopes that the House of Commons will consent to withdraw

mention that the ships fitted up at Deptford was as

Lord, PANMURE said, with reference to the stearn-
vessels, the impression should not go abroad that any of
them Iv re lying useless. There was not a steam-vessel
in the :Black Sea at this moment that had not their
duties assigned to them, or where the opportunity oc-
curred, these vessels bad not been brought home ; and

STORIIY MAINE LIQUOR LAW MEETING AT EXETER.—
Dr. Lees, a zealous advocate of the Maine Liquor Law,
visited Exeter. on Tuesday for tho purpose of holding a
public meeting in connexion with the suppression of the
liquor traffic. Placards were issued by the oppositionists,
and a crowded meeting was the result. Dr. Lees spoke
for some time without interruptnn, but having made
some alinsion to the Secretary of the Local Licensed
Victuallers' Association the meeting became most up-
roarious ; hisses, cockcrowing, and other discordant
noises drowned the speaker's voice; seats were broken,
gas-lamps smashed, and several pugnacious encounters
seemed imminent, when the chairman dissolved the
meeting, and Dr. Lees had to snake the best of his way
home for fear of a mobbing, The affair has caused much
excitement in the city.

idea of what has become, in your opinion, of the vast
quantities of stores which have been sent from this
country to the East ?
Mr. Macdonald —ls it quite certain that they hive all
left this country ? (Laughter.) If the committee asks
Inc my own explanation of the confusion in the trans-
port service I can answer them. In Turkey there is a
want of three great requisites, wharves, warehouses, and
roads. The Government being unacquainted with the
absence of these great facilities send out giant steamers
across the ocean to Constantinople and Balaklava ; and
the consequence is when they arrive they are converted
into store-houses. What is absolutely required is taken
out of them and the rest is left behind in them and for-
gotten. It is just as though one end =of London-bridge
.bad given way and the traffic was allowed to pass over
it all the same—there was a smash at the other end.
Mr. Drummond—What do you think then became of
such stores as were sent. out ?
Mr. Macdonald—A great deal of them was wasted, a
little was stolen, and a quantity was misplaced and
lost sight of.
After replying to a few further questions Mr. Mac-
donald retired with the thanks of the committee.
Deputy Commissary General Stickney was then called,
but only answered a few inquiries, when it was announced
that the Speaker was at prayers, and
The Committee thereupon adjourned until 12 o'clock

OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM" FIELD-
MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN.

(Front a Supplement to Friday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, MAncn 17.
Lord Panmure bas this day received a despatch and
its enclosures of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord
Raglan, G.C.B.

_ .
Before Sebastopol, Feb. 27, 1855.
My Lord,—lt appears that on Satanlay night the
enemy sunk three or four more ships of war in the har-
bour as far within the booms as the first sunken ships
were outside of them ; and, according to the most accu-
rate examination yesterday, there arc now four barriers
or impediments to the entrance of the harbour, viz. :
two of sunken ships, and two booms.
The only movement on the part of the enemy since I
last wrote to your lordship, is the march of some in-
fantry and artillery from the neighbourhood of Bakshi-
Serai towards the Tchernaya, upon which river, near
Cimgouna, they have at present five guns and several
hundred men.

The weather has been fine for the last three days, the
snow is gradually disappearing, and the country is be-
coming drier.

The enemy have re-occupied the ground which was
the scene of contest between the French and Russians
on Saturday morning before daylight ; and they are
making great progress in a work they aro establishing
upon tbat point.
I enclose the return of casualties to the 25th instant

STAMPED ENVELOPES.

Mr. T. DU1601118143 asked the Secretary of the
TreasuLry when it was likely that the public would be
able to obtain stamped sheets of paper and private enve-
lopes lior free transmission by post.
Mr. WILSON said instructions had been given to the
Board of Inland Revenue to make the necessary ar-
rangelaieuts for issuing stamped paper and envelopes,
and in. about two months he expected such arrangement
would be completed. The public would have 101. worth
of stamped paper issued to them for the duty, but par-
ties requiring paper to be stamped for a less amount,
would have to pay ls. beyond the duty.
London, England, 1855-03-17

BROWN BESS.

Mr. HORSFALL askOd the Under Secretary for
War whether it was a fact that the 6th Regiment of
Foot, now under orders for the Cape, were about to be
sent out with no other firelock than the old Brown Bess.
Mr. PEEL raid it was a mistake to suppose that the
6th Regiment of Foot was now under orders for the
Cape, because that regiment had been in service in the
Cape for some years. It was armed with the percussion
musket, and the detachment new about to be sent out
to join it would be armed in the same way.

THE DANUBE.

All the accounts received from the Danteoe dur-
ing the last few days mention that tide Russian
troops are proceeding by forced marCles from Bes-
sarabia on Odessa. The Bakkirs •
and the Calmucks
have taken the same directio"... The Russians are
forming two armies, one of !0,000 men before Pere-
kop, and the other of
Austrian flotilla will 000 men near Odessa. An
descend the Danube as soon
as the river is clear of ice. 10,000 men will at the
same time acWanefe as far as Giurgevo.
THE BALTIC.
A. letter from Hamburg of the 12th inst. states
'flat the English Consular Agent at Helsingor
fElsin ore), on the Island of Seeland, received a
communication on the 6th inst. from the Admiralty
announcing the proximate arrival there of a steam
frigate and four corvettes as an avant garde, to
await the arrival of the English fleet, as soon as
the breaking up of the ice would allow it to enter
the Baltic without danger. Stores of coal are to be
constantly ready for the use of the steamers. The
deficiency of coal during the campaign last year
in some of the neutral ports was a great drawback
to the fleet.

The Finland journals state that the eommanders
of the second and third divisions of the Russian
gun-bo?ts have been since February at the different
ports where the gunboats are stationed. The crews,
which consist chiefly of volunteer old sailors, were
assembling at Abo and Helsingfors to resume their
duty. The road from St. Petersburg to the latter
place was covered with long rows of sledges convey.
ing arms to the army in Finland, the organisation
of which was rapidly advancing, and materials of
war for the fortress.

Since the departUro of the allied fleets last year
no Russian military force has reoccupied the Aland
Isles.

BELGIUM.

M. de Thu has also declined to form a Minis-
try. M. de Decker was then sent for by the King,
and had an interview on Thursday with his Ma-
jesty at Leaken.

- AT decree has been issued prohibiting the re-
exportation of arms of war occasioned by the pro-
hibition of their transit, even on paying the cus-
toms dues at the Belgian frontiers, when the arms
are destined for ilussia."
London, England, 1855-03-17

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Constitu-
tionitcl, says :
" The defeat of Menschikoff on the Alma, at Inker-
man, and latterly i❑ the attack on Eupatoria, has given
rise to considerable doubts as to his military capacity
in the minds of many persons. It was in conse-
quence of that feeling that one of the first acts of the
Emperor Alexander was to accept the resignation of the
prince, which had been tendered on the plea of ill health.
The acceptance of it was published in an order of the clay
of the 4th. The prince resigns his posts as commander-in-
chief in the Crimea, as chief of the staff of the Navy, and
as governor of the grand duchy of Finland, only retaining
his rank of adjutant-general and councillor of the empire.
General Gortschakoff, in addition to the command in the
Crimea, has that of the army of the south, in which Gen.
Lucien; will hold the second command. The Russians have,
in truth, very few good generals, which circumstance
accounts for the frequent changes that are made. The
Emperor has published a special order of the day to the
guard and the corps of grenadiers, to which lie belonged
for the last 17 Tears, and which he has commanded for
the last three."

Mr. P EEL said it was a mistake to suppose that the

Cape, b.ec:ause that regiment had been in service in the
Cape fo): some years. It was armed with the percussion
musket, and the detachment now about to be sent out

SOLDIERS' WIVES.

Mr. ;KINN.A.IRD asked the Under Secretary for
War if a ny order had been sent, either to Constantinople
or to S et Mari, to send home those soldiers' wives whose
services were not required as nurses or laundresses ; also,
if any n ieasures bad been taken to provide proper ac-
commo ds ,tion in the barracks about to be erected at
Dover an d elsewhere for the wives of soldiers who were
permittet Ito marry ?
Mr.. PEEL replied in the negative to the first ques-
tion. /With regard to the second, the plan of the bar-
racks at Dover had not yet been settled.

Mr. RERESFORD asked the Under Secretary for
War wh ether a knapsack, known as "Brady's Patent,"
and co n. lemnel at Chobliain by a committee of officers
convivial ding regiments, was not authorised by the late

number of them issued accordingly, notwithstanding
that a k napsack of a different pattern was established in
the re: t liar army ?
Mr. PEEL said it was optional with the colonels of
militia, regiments to select what knapsack they thought
best suited to their men.
