Which every true-hearted Englishman owes tc his
country to contest the arguments of person: bo-
:onging to this class, and to show on what sleider

foundations their gloomy vaticinations really rest.
One of the points on which they expatiate is
'the siege of Sebastopol, and they invariably pro-
phecy that it can never be taken, that the Fussian
flag will continue to float on its walls, n.twith-
standing all the efforts and unflinching braiery of
the Allied Forces. They speak of all tlat has
already been achieved as so much time, labour,
and men wasted, and hint that, if we cculd even
gain the south of Sebastopol, the north vould still
resist all our attacks, and that the Russian Power
would not be materially, if at all, diminished.
This is a very grave error, and it is right that
every misapprehension on the subject should be
completely removed, and a correct and accurate
understanding arrived at on the subject.
As a morning con temporaryhas justly remarked,
the Malakhoff Tower may, to all intents and pur-
poses, be regarded as Sebastopol. It is the key
to the whole position, and when that has passed
into the possession of the Allies, the town itself,
and the vessels in the harbour, must speedily
follow. The Russians are fully aware of its
value ; they know that whenever it falls further
resistance will be fruitless, that they may forthwith
capitulate as to the remainder of their possessions.
Hitherto they have fought well, but they have re-
ceived ample supplies, and constantreinforcements
from the north, which has not up to this time
been invested. The besieged have hitherto avoided
" famine," the most dreaded assailant of a be-
leaguered garrison. They have been well and
fully fed, and could therefore devote all their
energies to the construction of new defences, and
repelling the attacks of the enemy. While they
held the Malakhoff they were not commanded
from any point, and with the extraordinary
energy displayed from the commencement of the
contest they placed many preliminary difficulties
in the way of their great defence.
These difficulties have been conquered—these
impediments swept away. The great success was
that of the 22d and 23d of May, wherewith Gene-
ral PELISSIER inaugurated his command. . It was
the good beginning which has justly been con-
sidered " half the battle." It was the introduc-
tion of the sharp end of the wedge which left no
possible doubt of the ultimate result. The next
step was soon taken. The " Mamelon vert" was
attacked and captured ! Another important stage
was thus passed, and the Malakhoff itself was
then directly threatened.
Every one knows of the attempt made, and
the temporary failure, on the 18th June. But
although for the moment the Allies made no fur-
ther progress, they still lost no ground—not a
single position they had once achieved was won
back. They have since advanced gradually but
steadily. The "Brancion redoubt," as the Ma-
melon has been denominated since its capture,
threatens the Malakhoff, and frowns over
the valley of the Tchernaya. From that
powerful position the French workmen are
pressing forward their zig-zags, and doubtless
before long we shall hear of the result of their
daring labours, in the capture of " the key of
Sebastopol," which commands the Redan, the
harbour, and the south side. After which the
north can easily be dealt with, and the defenders
of the detached forts, if they should ever be
capable of fesisting the combined attack by land
and water, must speedily succumb under the pri-
vations that will be keenly felt when the sources
of supply are all cut off. We thus see the pros-
pects of success that attend the Allied Arms, and
may refute all the dreary prophecies of the
croakers who strive to frighten feeble-minded men
and timid women with tales of Russian proivess
and invincibility.

The Limited Liabilities Bill last night received
its third reading, and, so far as the House of
Commons is concerned, is virtually carried. Its
trial now is before the Peers. We cannot, how-
ever, suppose that there is any real danger, or
that their Lordships would desire to impede a
measure which the great body of the people most
urgently demand. It is, after all, but a mere
instalment of justice. The " Partnership" Bill
has been surrendered for this session, as a sop
to the malcontents who resist "free trade"
in money, and still desire ,to retain onerous
restrictions on the trade and commerce of the
country. The resolution of their lordships' re-
specting bills not ready for a second reading last
week was very judicious as a general rule, but
there are exceptions to all such rules, and the
Limited Liability Bill is, most assuredly, one of the
greatest exigency that can, by any possibility, be
brought under their Lordships' notice. It is one
that will supply a stimulus to legitimate enter-
prise ; and, by developing the national resources
enable the people to bear more easily the extra
burdens occasioned by the War.
It is difficult to understand the arguments that
have been put forward by interested parties
against this great commercial boon, or how it can
be supposed that any protection is required to the
general public against the fraudulent schemes of
designing persons. It is a portion of the trick to
speak largely of fraud, as if persons who gave credit
to thg new class of dealers must necessarilybe plun-
dered of their property unless they can prevent the
party from obtaining money on reasonable terms,
and compel him to pay usurious interest for the
monetary accommodation he may require, and
raise up additional claimants on the dividend
that may be payable in the event of bankruptcy.

What is the nature or extent of the " fraud"
that will be thereby occasioned ? A person who
has money to spare may, if he think proper,
advance it, on terms varying according to the
benefits obtained by the party, in place of
lending it, at a fixed and exorbitant rate of
interest. He sees an industrious man, of un-
blemished reputation, who thoroughly under•
stands his business. Ho sees that the
party, if he can overcome the difficulties
occasioned by the want of capital, must realise
handsome profits. lie has what the other re-
quires, and will render his success almost certain.
In such a case he is willing to risk a certain sum,
tens, hundreds, or thousands of pounds, and to
reader his repayment contingent on the realisation
of bona fide profits. Who does ho or can he in-
jure by such a course ? Not the borrower. He
obtains the anxiously looked for monetary facilities
on easy conditions. If he make large pro-
fits he can afford to give a portion to
the man who has enabled him to earn
thew, and if be fails he has no heavy interest to
meet, nor can his person or goods be attached for
that which has practically proved unproductive.
Not the creditor, who supplied goods without re-
ceiving prompt payment, he will be the person
most benefitted by the change. For in place of
his goods being abstracted to satisfy the exorbitant
demands of some concealed money-lender, who
has already been more than repaid his
original advance, with heavy interest, he
will only find creditors in the same cate-
gory as himself, who will receive all the
assets for their own use. If he has no hold upon
any concealed party to make him unfairly liable,
ho will not lose any portion of that to which he
is justly entitled by the claims of persons also be-
hind the screen. The individual, or firm, giving credit
will before doing so, naturally make all necessary
inquiries. He will take into his consideration all the
facts, and see how far he is warranted in going.
The greater the monetary resources of the debtor
the greater his chances of repayment, and the
better his position in the event of a stoppage.
The man who has privately advanced money
must not only forego all profit in the shape of
interest or dividend thereon, but he must also
lose his entire principal before he can be called
on to abate a portion of his just demands. He
is, therefore, in the best possible position, and may
bless, rather than complain of, the judicious en-
actments that proved so b.2.neficial.

The lender himself, then, alone reina,ins, and the
