AJOURNEY FROM LONDON TO

MESOPOTAMIA, and PERSIA.

Hurst and Blackett, V, Great Marlborough-street.

VALETTA, Jan. 15.—Rear-Admiral H. Yelverton
C. 8., on board his flagship Revenge, 73, Capt. the
Hon. F. A. Foley (on leave), left Malta on Wed-
nesday for amonth's cruise to Naples. The Meannee,
60, Capt. G. Wodehonse, left on the same day for
the Piraeus of Athens, to replace the Liffey, 35, screw
frigate, Capt. G. Parker, which is daily expected
here. Report says that this latter vessel will be sent
to the West Indian station, but no official orders
have yetbeen received on the subject. Col. Hardinge,
Ist battalion 22d Regiment; Lieut. J. Jones, Bth
Regiment ; Lieut. B. Moffat, Bth Regiment ; and
Captain Arkwright proceeded in the Revenge to
Naples. The Malta and Alexandria Telegraph
has again broken down, as anticipated in my
last letter. On Monday the Benghazi and
Alexandria section stopped working, and commu-
nication has ceased ever since on that part of the
line. The other sections, I believe, continue to work
satisfactorily—indeed, have never failed to do since
they were first laid. The telegraph steamer Fanny
Lambert, which is kept here to be at hand in case
of accident, was immediately got ready for sea, and
left at daylight the following morning for Benghazi,
with the requisite staff of scientific men and their
assistants, for the purpose of repairing the cable.
The Commander-in-Chief also caused the Cossack,
20, Capt. W. R. Rolland, which was already a good
many miles on her way to the lonian Islands and
Patras, to be recalled by signal from the Palace
Tower, and despatched her to Benghazi, to assist in
the operation. It is intended, lam informed to lay
an entirely new cable on this section next summer.
Her Majesty's ship Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C.
Seymour, left on Monday for Naples. Capt. Fairfax,
R.N., and Major Hamilton, V.C., went in her.
The yacht schooner Derwent, having bn board Col.
J. Talbot Clifton, Capt. R. White, and Dr. A. D.
White, left port on Tuesday for Tunis. The Gleam,
yacht schooner, with Mr. G. Marshall and Capt.
Powell, arrived on the same day from Syracuse, and
will leave in a day or two for Egypt. The schooner
yacht Egidia (General Moore, proprietor) left on
Thursday for Corfu. Col. Dickenson, wife, and
son ; Lieut. Washington, R.N., the Rev. Mr.
Edgar, Mrs. Pritchard, widow of Capt. Pritchard,
R.N., who perished in the Orlando's boat at Tunis,
and infant, left by the Ceylon for Marseilles. Col.
A. R. Dunn, lately exchanged from the 100th
Regiment to the 33d in India, and Capt. Brad-
ford left in the Massilia for Alexandria. Captain
Breton, Lieut. F. B. Russell, Lieut. E. Lake, and
Lieut. E. Gully arrived by the Delhi from South-
ampton. Capt. Westley, Lady Hamilton Chiches-
ter, and Mr. Baring, aide-de-camp to Sir Henry
Storks, arrived this morning by the Nyanza, from
Marseilles. The Austrian gunboat Wall, Com-
mander M. M. de Manfort, arrived on Friday from
Algiers, bound for the Adriatic. Her Majesty's
ship Gibraltar, 81, left Gibraltar on the morning
of the sth inst., and arrived at Cadiz on the same
evening, en route to England, to fetch her new cap-
tain. Vice-Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8., took his
departure on Saturday on board the Psyche, Lieut.
Commander R. Sterile, which had been placed at
his disposal by the naval Commander-in-Chief.
Never has the departure of any officer caused more
sincere and general feelings of regret.
The Challenger, 22, screw steam corvette, 1,462
tons, 400-horse power, Captain J. J. Kennedy,
C. 8., arrived at Sheerness yesterday evening from
the West Indies, on which stat ion she had been em-
ployed during the past three years and a half, hav-
ing been commissioned at Sheerness in May, 1851.
The Challenger will be inspected on Saturday by
Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Commander-
in-Chief at Sheerness, and will be shortly dismantled,
paid out of commission, and placed in the Sheerness
Steam Reserve.
In accordance with instructions received at Sheer-
ness from the Lords of the Admiralty, her Majesty's
new iron ship Valiant, 24 guns, 4,063 tons, 800
horse-power, will leave Sheerness on the 31st inst.
for Portsmouth, where she will be taken into dock,
and the bottom of the vessel cleaned, and the ne-
cessary alterations executed prior to her being placed
in commission.
The screw steam-frigate Aurora, 35, Capt. Sir F.
Leopold M'Clintock, from Spithead, arrived at Ply-
mouth on Thursday. She conveyed supernumerary
seamen for the guardship at Devonport, and would
receive others for ships on the North American sta-
tion. The Aurora will probably leave the Sound
to-day.
The screw steam gun-vessel Dapper, 3, tender to
the schoolship Britannia, at Dublin, arrived yester-
day at Devonport with condemned stores. On re-
ceiving perfect stores she will return to Dartmouth.
The screw steam gunboat Hyena, 2, shipped her
powder yesterday at Plymouth, and left for her des-
tination, Milford.
The paddlewheel steam-sloop Geyser, 6, Com-
mander Arthur T. Thrupp, will not be able to leave
Plymouth until Monday forrortsmouth and Lisbon.
The screw steam-corvette Cadmus, 21, Captain
Alexander Gordon, from Chatham, arrived yester-
day at Plymouth, en route for the West Indies.
The Pioneer having been sold out of her Ma-
jesty's service was towed out of Plymouth harbour
on Friday by the steam-tug Scotia.
In accordance with orders received at Chatham
the following depots of Indian regiments are to be
transferred to that garrison from the stations
named, most of the regiments arriving at the gar-
rison on the 2d of February —viz., the Depot
companies of the 2d battalion of the 2d
Queen's Royals, numbering five officers and
140 non-commissioned officers and men from
Walmer ; the Ist battalion of the 10th Regi-
ment, consisting of four officers and 140 men of all
ranks ; the 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment, con-
sisting of six officers and 160 non-commissioned
officers and men ; and the 29th Regiment, number-
ing four officers and 158 men of all ranks, from the
11th Depot Battalion, at Preston ; the 40th Regi-
ment, numbering three officers and 127 men, and
the 65th Regiment, consisting of two officers and
105 men from the 13th Depot Battalion, Birr ; the
Ist battalion of the 15th Regiment, consisting of
five officers and 120 men, and the 2d battalion of
the 15th Regiment, numbering six officers and 80
men, from the Bth Depot Battalion, Pembroke •; and
the Depot companies of the 80th Regiment, num-
bering three officers and 64 non-commissioned
officers and men, from the 15th Depot Battalion,
Buttevant ; total, 38 officers and 1,094 non-com-
missioned officers and men.
The depots of the 37th and 85th Regiments of the
Bth Depot Battalion have received orders to proceed
from Pembroke dock on the 31st inst., to join their
respective regiments at Dover and Aldershott.
The depot of the 105th Regiment is to leave for
Parkhurst, Isle of Wight, on the same day, in order
to join the sth Depot Battalion, and thus three of
the seven depots of the battalion will be disposed of.
The remaining depots are expected to move early
next month, and the staff will shortly afterwards
leave for their respective commands and appoint-

The Extradition of the St. Albans Eaiders•
4d.

-

J -'ice

(From the Index)
We do not know what course the Confederate Govern-
ment will take in the case of the St. Albans expedition. If
they authorised authorised it they will probably assume the responsi-
bilityif they did not, the actors must answer individually
for their alleged infraction of British neutrality. But we
must enter au indignant protest against the language in
which the Times has spoken of these men, and the view it
has chosen to take of their case. Their act is compared to
Muller's, and we are told that because the United States
freely gave up a murderer and robber, who had assassinated
an old gentleman in a railway carriage, therefore we ought
to give up to the Federal Government men who have com-
mitted acts which it thinks proper to describe as arson and
robbery on its territory. It is difficult to be patient when
injustice like this is done to brave men in their hour of
danger—when a leading organ chooses to assume the guilt
of men who are not yet tried, and to accuse them of crimes
of which their worst enemies virtually acquit them. Cer-
tain it is that the Treaty of Extradition was never meant
to apply to such a case as this. It was intended to secure
the punishment of the common enemies of mankind ; of
thieves, assassins, and pirates ; of men who, to gratify
their own evil passions, whether of grted, or lust,
or hatred, make war on society, and take the life
or property of their neighbour. It was not intended to
assist one political faction against another, or to extend
beyond the frontier the power and the vengeance of a vic-
torious party. It was not intended to interfere with the
operations of foreign or of civil war. It was not even in-
tended as a means of securing the neutrality of the border
region. It had exclusive reference to ordinary crimes—
crimes as having to do with political contests. And for
this reason political offences were expressly excluded from
taotedrefhuises

its operation. American courts have carried this so far as
slanv
e
who had killed his pursuer. It is necessary to enforce very
strictly such limits on extradition treaties, if we would
avoid the guilt of delivering into the hands of their enemies
the victims of political disaster ; for it will generally hap-
pen that a political refugee is technically a felon. Every
rebel who shoots a partisan of the ruling power is a mur-
derer. Every one who assists in seizing a Government
convoy is a robber. It is only in such a sense that these
St. Albans raiders are criminals. They were really en-
gaged in war. Even Mr. Sumner admits that they attacked
the village, not because they desired simply to burn and
pillage, but because they desired to burn and pillage the
enemies of the South. That is, their offence sprang
from political motives, and had a political purpose. They
are therefore political fugitives, political offenders, and
to liken their case to that of Muller is a perversion of
truth and reason. To give them up would be to wrest the
law made against felons, to destroy the right of asylum ac-
corded to political culprits.
A case in point is well within even the short memory of
newspaper readers. During the late Polish insurrection
Prussia gave up several fugitive insurgents to Russia, and
earned thereby the curses of the civilised world. Now the
Polish insurgents as a body had committed robbery by
levying " taxes" not on enemies only, but upon the whole
people within their reach. They had committed murder,
not by shooting enemies in the field, but by secretly stab-
bing obnoxious persons. Yet it was felt, and justly felt,
that to give up Polish fugitives, on any pretence, was a
breach of law and hospitality. Whatever their offences
might have been, their motives were political ; their ends
were not private gain nor private revenge, but the achieve-
ment of a political result; and therefore they were entitled
to the immunity which all civilized Powers accord to poli-
tical fugitives. So with the St. Albans raiders. No one
can deny that their position is strictly analogous to that of
the Polish refugees. They committed not felony against
individuals,but civil war against members of a hostile party,
or public war against citizens of a hostile counlry ; and, how-
ever much we might condemn their motives Lnd actions, to
give them up as criminals to the vengeance of their enemy
would be a gross abuse of treaty obligations, and a shameful
violation of that humane usage which bounds the vengeance
of political parties by the frontiers of their country. In
urging that they should be given up as " Muller was," the
Times commits a double wrong ; it puts a totally and
cruelly false construction on the charge agains the accused,
and counsels the Government of Canade to violate in the
most flagrant manner the universal custom of Christian
nations.
