T 147, S N
LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 1, 1862.

Lord RUSSELL'S letter to the Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty will have the hearty ap-
probation of all his countrymen ; but we much
doubt whether it will not be inwardly resented_by
the hot Northerners. We have been far too in-
dulgent to both parties hitherto. The position of
the Nashville and the Tuscarora at Southampton
was one which, with any sense of propriety, the
belligerents would never have taken ; but the
Americans have never been distinguished for
modesty and forbearance. Under the QUEEN'S
orders, just issued, we shall have no more of belli-
geient vessels watching each other to turn the
vicinity of our ports into a battle-field for their own
quarrels. It has been felt very annoying that we
were compelled to admit into our harbours ships
entering them, as it were, red-handed—the Nash-
ville after having burnt a noble vessel, and the
Sumter, .after following the example of the Nash-
ville. If, indeed, we considered the situation of
the Southerners fairly, as they had no chance of
taking their captures as prizes into a Southern
port, and could not sell them in a neutral p ort,
they must burn and destroy if they wished to harrass
the enemy by attacking his floating property. Still
there is something specially revolting in the use-
lessly vindictive proceeding of burning in mere
wantonness such a noble proof of man's genius as a
good ship at sea ; it may be quite good war, but it
is hateful Vandalism. The loss inflicted upon the
enemy is not one which can affect his warlike ope-
rations, and there is nothing in the character of a
merchant ship to excuse the spite which can con-
sign her to the flames.

We shall, however, do now the very best in our
power towards discouraging this brigandage of
war. Earl RUSSELL'S communication limits the
" comfort and aid" to be afforded to either party to
the very smallest which can be bestowed on any
vessel whatever. They are all to be treated as "bad
company. A beggar starving must be taken in for
the night and relieved, and a Sumter or a Tusca-
rora will be dealt with in like manner. Just
enough to enable them to go to sea again, whether
in provis rim or coals, will be allowed and no more
—" what is necessary for her immediate use," is

the limit. A.nd even if driven in by stress of wea-
ther, sho is to leave again as soon as possible. The
24 hours' rule is also to be strictly enforced.
Only coal sufficion t to take the privateer
or ship of war to the nearest port of
her own country is to be allowed—and no
more is to be pet milted "tell three months after the
last supplied in British waters." American 'cute-
ness would doubtless, but for such a limitation of
time, have made short cruising voyages from some
of our ports, and have returned for fresh supplies
to commence another voyage. The new rules will
effectually clear our ports of such guests as have
long inflicted themselves on Southampton, and
ought to be taken as a proof of our wish to be
thoroughly neutral.
We quite expect, however, that there will be no
little heartburning in the North when these orders
are made known there. Our neutrality is our
offence. The more perfect it is—in the sense of
dealing out the same measure to Federalist
and Confederate the more angiy it makes
the North. Europe, they think, has no right to
regard and treat the two as belligerents—the Fede-
rals are the State—the Confederates are rebels.
Earl RUSSELL is careful to spare the pride of the
North in hisphraseology ; he speaks of the Southern
States, as " calling themselves the •Confederate
States of America." That will please so far ; but,
in their hearts the Northerns will never forgive
treating alike in a British port the Tusearora
and the Sumter. Is not the latter a notorious rebel ?
Ought not friendly States to treat her as what she
is." Is it not giving them encouragement when
the rebels find their ships and the Federal ships
received with like respect, or like disrespect, at
Southampton or Portsmouth ? It is to little pur-
pose to allege the vast number of the Seceders, or
the size of their territory. The more the worse—
the diminution of Federal territory and population
is so much the greater ; and as the Yankee is the
more galled by the vastness of the rebellion, so
he thinks we ought to be ; or, at least, our
sympathy, should be in proportion to his calamity,
not in proportion to the claim which numbers give
to the character of nationality in the secession.
They may not like to say all this openly, but they
will feel it, and hate us for it. All honourable and
right they will think that rebel privateers should
be sent about their business from British ports as
soon as may be, but it is quite another thing when
the vessels of their Majesties, the 20,000,000 Sove-
reigns of the United Northern States, are ordered
off in the same manner.

We are pleased, however, to see this fresh evi-
dence that our Government means to be firm in its
position of neutrality. It will, we trust, be equally
firm in its non-intervention policy. We did not
quite like Mr. BAZLEY'S remarks at Manchester on
the " judicious advice" Lord RUSSELL was giving,
as being likely to break up the blockade. It would
be more judicious, we must believe, to proffer no un-
asked advice at all. Such was Lord RUSSELL'S
own opinion ; and, notwithstanding Mr. BAZLEY'S
remarks, we hope it is his opinion still. The
blockade, on the broad view of the case, we have
always held to be a very doubtful injury to us.
We question very much whether it will not soon
prove td be an advantage. France feels it much
more than we do. The superlative importance of
making India our cotton-field we have often ad-
verted to, and to us it still appears that some
privation of cotton supply for a time would
be a cheap purchase of that great political
as well as commercial advantage. It should never
be forgotten, that if we choose our Sovereign to be
Queen of INDIA, and to govern it without an Indian
Parliament, we are morally bound to look to the
welfare of our subjects there as much as if they lived
in Lancashire. We have, however, equal conviction
that fresh cotton fields will be as great an advantage
ultimately to Lancashire, as it will be to India to
render her our chief cotton grower. Never was
there a case, we conceive, in which our interest
more fully coincided with the international obliga-
tion of complete neutrality.

It must not be imagined, that the result of the
Oxfordshire contest yesterday is, after all, so com-
plete and unmistakeable a triumph for the Tory
Opposition. Sir HENRY DASIIWOOD, the Liberal
candid xte, it is true, has been defeated by a clear
majority of 192—Colonel FANE having polled 1,914
votes altogether, and Sir HENRY DASIIWOOD 1,722.
This was heard at length in Oxford at half-past
eight o'clock last evening, when the whole of
the returns had been gathered in from the
eight county polling places, namely, from
Oxford itself, from Banbury, Bicester, Witney,
Chipping Norton, Doddington, Tetsworth, and
Nettlebed. But, allowing this, admitting that the
Liberal candidate was outnumbered to the extent
described still it must be added that the
triumph is no such grand " catch" for the
Tory Opposition after all. For—is it not quite
vividly within everyone's recollection who stole
even the most careless glance at the preliminaries
of this smart contest, that Colonel FANE appeared
before the county constituency—Conservative
constituency though it is—but as a very half
and half Derby-Disraelite, but as a very milk-and-
water Tory in his way ? What, in effect, was about
the most explicit declaration put forward by Colonel
FAN E in his explanation here and there to the elec-
tors before the actual contest commenced, while it
was yet pending, while it was even matter of uncer-
tainty whether Sir HENRY DAsilwooD would, in
(
common parlance, come to the scratch, or so far show
fight even as to make his appearance as an opp3sing
candidate upon the hustings ? Even when rumours
were about to the effect that it might be a mere
walk over the course for Colonel FANE, the Colonel
appeared before his future constituents—in what
light ? Is it not at this moment, down at Oxford,
within every elector's recollection ? Avowedly,
and quite plainly, Colonel FANE announced that
he should go to the House of Commons, if elected,
not to oppose Lord PALMERSTON'S Government !
Conservative constituency though the Oxford-
shire constituency is, the Conservative can-
didate for the third seat—there are two
Tories in already—could not venture to appeal
to the electors for their suffrages without that
distinct declaration, without the positive and ex-
plicit announcement beforehand that if chosen
their member he would not go to the House
of Commons to be ranged among Lord

PALMERSTON'S opponents.
It is significant all this of the
strength of the present Government these
perpetual tributes of eulogium showered upon
our veteran Premier even from the side of his pre-
sumed antagonists. There is another and a very
direct illustration of the same fact coming to us
simultaneously with the announcement of the re-
sult of the Oxford County Election. We
allude to the Great Conservative Demonstra-
tion of Thursday last down at Exeter.
According to the local Tory organ, Woolmer's
Exeter Gazette, the meeting there on Thursday was
b.;th " large and enthusiastic." But it is as signifi-
as was Colonel FANE'S avowal but
cant in its way
just now alluded to, that the principal harangue
addressed on Thursday to the Tory audience down at
Exeter, the speech of Lord COURTENAY contained
within it a studied coloquium upon Lord PALMER&

TON. It is the same story we hear on all hands •
The popularity of the Prime Minister is admitted
in common alike by Whigs and Tories, by
Liberals and Conservatives. Listen to what
Lord COURTENAY has to say upon this point,
when talking even to a congenial assem-
bly of Conservatives down in the old cathedral
town of Exeter. " I trust," he says, "Lord PALMER••
STON may be vouchsafed many more years of an
honoured life. I think there are many points of his
character that it is impossible not to admire very
highly, and as an Englishman it is impossible not
to be proud of him, besides which his sympathies,
if left to himself, aro generally Conservative, and
ho would demand nothing better than to be ' saved
from his friends,' who sometimes attempt to
push him a little further than he wants to go, and
a great deal further than it is at all desirable he
should go. The mission of the Conservative party
in the House of Commons seems at the present time
to be to abstain from any unnecessary opposition
to the Government of Lord PALMERSTON; and, at
all events, whilst-we help to keep them in office, to
watch vigilantly the interests of the Church of
this country ; to wait patiently and to bide
their time. The time must come—will come
eventually when the reins of power must pass
into the hands of the only party that will be strong
enough to 'take them—into the hands of a govern-
ment possessing official experience, adminstrative
ability, the support of the House of Commons, and
the confidence of the country." That is really
the cry upon all hands. The motto of the Coalition
Ministry, just now, is pretty well the same as
the motto of Scotland, nemo n2e impute
lacessit. That of the Conservative Opposition—
that of the PLUNKETTS, festina lente. They will,
as Lord COURTENAY says, " Bide their Time."
But in the meanwhile, as Colonel FANE intimates
in regard to himself—they will not oppose Lord
PALMERSTON.

There is something more to be done in regard to
the Colliery Question than simply to pour in some
thousands sterling to swell the funds for the Door
widows and orphans of the 200 dead and buried
miners down at Hartley, in Northumberland. The
extraordinary rapidity with which the charitable
funds to that end are being collected in all parts of
the United Kingdom cannot, of course, but, be
matter for very earnest congratulation. But more,
far more, will yet be required than the
securing for the relicts and survivors of the victims
of the late dreadful catastrophe, a humble com-
petence to set them free from anxiety, now that they
have been suddenly threatened with destitution.
It was calculated almost immediately after the worst
had come to be realised that £17,000 at least would
be requisite in order to put the occupants of those
desolated houses at Hartley village out of anxiety
as to the future. Already the chief part of that
sum has been collected, thanks to the munificence
of the public at large, a munificence first mani-
fested in a very conspicuous manner in connection
with the great meeting held in January in
Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Subsequently several
thousands have been added to the con-
siderable amount secured for these unfor-
tunates at that grand inaugurative demon-
stration several thousands additional drop-
ping in from the City of London, from the sea-
port of Liverpool, and so forth—berievolent sympa-
thisers springing up in every direction, even far
away there across the Channel among the
English residents in the gay French capital.
The tale of suffering and of terror has
gone to almost every heart, and the generosity
of a race always remarkable for its benevolence, has
nowhere been appealed to in vain.

Charitable sermons have been preached in num-
berless places of worship—sermons followed invari-
ably by collections made among the respective
congregations addressed. Bank notes, gold, silver,
halfpenny, have been transmitted to various police
courts, by all the letters of the alphabet in all
imaginable combinations, sums, small and large,
according to the means of the donors, who have
thus forwarded their contributions to the same end
through the hands of the local magistrates. As at
the churches and chapels—so also has it been at
various theatres and places of public entertainment.
Benefits for the -widows and orphans of the
poor Hartley Colliers have been organized under
various managements. Even private shop-
keepers here and there, have opened little subscrip-
tion lists or placed a money box upon their counters,
for chance contributions for the like destination.
Before very much longer we doubt no:-, that an
announcement will be made officially, of the
aggregate results of this scattered but
converging benevolence, that will effectually dissi-
pate any further anxiety about the worldly means of
the poor women and children who have been de-
prived by so appalling a catastrophe of their bread-
winners and guardians—the props of their humble
but honest homes.

But then, even then, all will not have
Then, even then, the good that
may not unreasonably be looked for from the
lamentable evil of the late fearful casualty at
Hartley New Pit, will have to be begun. The pre-
vention of future calamities of a like kind by the
prompt and resolute interposition betimes of the
Imperial Legislature—that is the chief benefit that
will have to be looked to, almost immediately upon
the reassembling of Parliament. Another week and
the Lords and Commons will have gathered toge-
ther down at Westminster for the commencement
of their annual labours. Less than another week
will have elapsed when the Royal Speech will
inaugurate those labours delivered this
time not, of course, by the lips of our
beloved and sorrow-stricken Sovereign herself,
but vicariously by the Royal Commissioners.
That some allusion may be made even '
in the gracioas Speech from the Throne, to this
necessity that all have now come to recognise
quite distinctly—the at length obvious and long
suspected necessity for legislative interference,
with a view to render the working of our mines
less perillous to human life—we are sanguine.
However this may be, there cannot be an in-
stant's doubt but that the Home Secretary
is preparing some draft of an enactment
so framed that the single shaft system may be either
directly or indirectly got rid of, and that moreover
with all imaginable despatch. The public will look
for this from her MAJESTY'S Government. Par-
liament itself will expect it. The Press has already
begun to clamour for it. And neither the
Press nor the Parliament, any more than
the generous hearted Public itself (now
pouring in its abundant contributions
of benevolence into the laps of the widdws of Hart-
ley) are likely to find themselves doomed to disap-
pointment in this matter. A compulsory double-
shaft system, or at the very least an approxima-
tion to it, will date—we may rest quite convinced
of this—from the year of grace 1862, the dawn of
which was so deplorably signalized by this lament- i
able accident at Hartley.

NEW YORK, JAN. 21.

steamers.

It is officially reported from Kentucky that the
Confederates had attacked the Federals at Somerset.

THE MEXICAN INTERVENTION.
PARIS, FEB. 1.

The 111 oniteur of to-day publishes a letter from
Vera Cruz, dated 31st December, stating that the
excitement of the Mexicans was beginning to sub-
side, The idea of an arrangement was no longer
rejected a priori as treason against the nation.

There were serious indications that a party was
forming which was disposed to repudiate a Govern-
ment which had been so fatal to the country.

The enlightened inhabitants did not wish for
war, and the sound-thinking portion of the popu-
lation demanded the unity of the country under an
independent constitutional monarchy.
A foreign prince would doubtless rally all sym-
pathies, but the allies should take care not to put
forth any pretensions on their own account, as they
would give rise to ideas of conquest which could
not fail to wound the national self respect.

ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 31.

An Imperial decree, dated 28th Jan., has been
promulgated to-day ordering the publication of the
budget for 1862. The publication will take place

The Northern Post of to-day states that consider-
able dissatisfaction, uneasiness, and impatience exist
on account of the emancipation of the serfs, and the
changes that have been introduced into the financial
system, and says :
" The dissatisfaction of the nobility arises from
the unpunctual payment by the peasants of their
dues. The Government having guaranteed the
latter, will keep its word ; but it must be under-
stood the transition requires time.

" The nobility must, however, be resolutely pre-
pared to accept the condition of affairs, and assist
the Government. The solution of the question will
be found in the final accomplishment of the eman-
cipation.

" The extended participation of the people in the
public administration depends upon the nobility,
who have it in their power to facilitate or obstruct
the efforts of the Government."

PARIS, JAN. 31.

The Constitutionnel of this evening has an article
signed by the chief editor, M. Limayrac, regretting
the attack recently made by the Pays on Baron
Ricasoli, and declaring that the policy of the French
Government is quite independent of the policy of
Italy.

" It rests with the Italians alone," says M.
Limayrac, "to judge what is the best Ministry for
them. No foreign Cabinet has a right to exercise
any pressure in regard to Ricasoli and Ratazzi,
who have both served their country- patriotically.
The line of conduct to be followed by the friends of
Italy is clearly traced out. They must desire the
union of political parties in Italy."

CONSTANTINOPLE, SAN. 30.

A conference has been held at the official residence
of Aali Pasha, between the Representatives of the

present state of affairs in Syria. The Grand Vizier

PORTUAL.
LISBON, JAN. 27.

(Per Tagus, via Southampton.)
The Infante Dom Augusto continues to reside at
Lumiar, and to improve in health.
The Cortes are discussing the papers presented to
the House relative to the late tumults in Lisbon.

Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., returns by this packet.
This gentleman has visited Lisbon to look after his
interest in the affairs of the Company's Union Mer•
cantile.

It is said that the directors of the Union Bank
of London are entertaining the idea of opening a
branch in Lisbon. There is no doubt that such an
undertaking would yield an ample return for the
capital invested, and would meet with the cordial
support of the British merchants in Lisbon. There
is abundance of business of a first-class character
to support a. commercial bank.
The steamer Sheidrake, with a cargo of coals, on
Government account, for Bermuda, has put in here
leaky ; she will return to England after undergoing

repairs and discharging her cargo, which will be
kept to supply vessels of the royal navy.

the event of such a change being necessary, has
been passed ; but the Cortes have not entitled the

will shortly be solemnly interred in the Royal
Mausoleum of San Vicente.
