THE SUN.

LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 24, 1862.

Prolongation of the war, greater vigour in con-
ducting it—such seems to be the opinion of the
holders of cotton in Liverpool. They asked more
for their cotton on account of the triumph of the
Democrats and the defeat of the Republicans, fol-
lowed by the dismissal of ISVC-Lva..i.A.N. They, at
least, act on the supposition that the incoming of
American cotton is deferred by late events. Some
politicians, both in this country and in America,
take the opposite view. They say Mr. LINCOLN
has always professed to be guided by what he
understands to be the will of the people. He will

see in the Democratic majority, first, the acceptance
of their known, though not proclaimed, wish for
reconciliation and peace; secondly, he will accept-
their vote as one of censure on the anti-
slavery policy, and withdraw his proclamation.
These are plausible views. For there can be no
doubt that, though afraid to say so, the Democrats
would favour the largest concessions to the south
for the sake of peace ; and their hostility to the
successive anti-slavery measures of the Republican
PRESIDENT and majority in Congress was never
concealed.

Still, the verdict of the Liverpool cotton men has,
so far as we can yet see, most in its favour. First, and
chiefly—success is the only thing which can retrieve
the Republican position. If the Republican
PRESIDENT can vanquish the South by any
means, he and his party will be in power at the next
Presidential election. The only question therefore)
with the Republicans is—" Can we beat the South ?
If we only can, all the past will be condoned, we
shall be held to be the saviours of the State, and
President LINCOLN will enjoy a double term of
office." The Republicans have, therefore, not only
their principles to animate them to action, but their
interests. Till December twelvemonths is theirs.
Why should they not " make hay while the snn
shines." Their principles are infinitely nobler than
those of the Democrats, their desire of office and
leadership in the Union at least equal ; —when their
principles point to the only course which also leads
to cffice, why not give full effect to them?
England must not do the Republicans injustice.
Their faults are many, but they share them with
the Democrats and Southerns, indeed with all par-
ties in America. But they have one virtue which
neither the Democrats nor the South have, they
desire first the limitation of slavery, and that in
order
to its final extinction. The South is fana-
tical for slavery, and the Democrats of the North,
through whom the South has hitherto governed
the Union, are
in no way averse to it. They
would do
for it
anything asked by the South, not-
withstandinb the late
split among them. Let us
then give Republicans
the h
their due. Let us remem-
ber that for all
towards
and
,offensive con-
duct of America
and
the
fs England and other na-
tions, the South
Democrats have been
hitherto solely responsible,
power. No city insulted the par th.ttiley were solely in
prince of WALES but
a great Southern city. The Nor
after all, gave
him the warmest and heartiest of receptions;
South could not brook the presence o fth the
the throne of an abolitionist nation. We m heir toay ad-
mit all the follies ard pertnesses of Mr. SEVAItI
but they are trifles compared with the persistent
desire of the South openly proclaimed as it
was—to appropriate all Mexico, Central Ame-
rica, and Cuba, in the interests of slavery,
Both Democrats and Republicans are equally
devoted to the worship of the Union, but
the Republicans desire a Union in which Freedom
shall bo the ruling principle, the South and the
Dornocrats—now dubbed the Tories of America
—want a Republic of which slavery shall be the
foundation. Let the territories be peopled with
freeman, let the Free States be uncontaminated
with the presence of the slaveholder and his pro-
perty, is the demzenci of the Republicans—let slavery
fill the territories—let the slaveholder take " his
property" to New York and Massachusetts if he
pleases, is the demand of the South and the
Democrats.

Mr. LINCOLN and his friends will feel that if
they (.1,) not their best now for their coraparatiYely

noble principles, those principles may be thrown
into the back ground for years. By using
effectively his power for the next twelve
months, and then for the following year of
his Presidency, he may cripplo the slave-
power for ever, whether the South secede or whether

it be coerced to reunion. The triumph, on the bat-
tle-field, of the Republicans means the emancipa-
tion of the North American Continent from the
impending curse of slavery. It is an issue worth
vigorously worth fighting for ; and if the North can
succeed in this issue, where is the Englishman who
will not wish it success. Absolutely certain is it
that if slaveholders only gain their point of sepa-
rating with all the Border States, and the States
west of the Mississippi, we shall soon have a
power there stretching down to South America
itself, reviving the slave trade and bullying
Europe ; unless indeed Europe, England included,
consents to sell her long cherished principles for
cotton, and to wink, not only at slavery but at the
slave trade itself.
The dismissal of MTLELLAN, we must confess,

looks the right way. Disobedience to orders may
have been the technical reason; but all mast per-
ceive that his strong political bias was what most
unfitted him for the command in an army which was
intended to carry emancipation to the negro. In
this cause M'CLELLAN could not, with his strong
pro-slavery tendencies, be a hearty co-operator. We
are told here that Mr. LINCOLN will submit to the
rebuke of the Democratic majority, and withdraw
his anti-slavery proclamation. All we can say is,
that his first act does not point that way. He
cashiers, under every other inducement to retain
him, the commander who could not work the pro-
clamation heartily. He hazards displeasing the
army which M'CLELLAN had formed, and with
which at last he had conquered, rather than leave
an opponent of the proclamation in such an im-
portant command.

We shall probably soon see now some decided
steps taken. Already there are flying rumours
of BURNSIDE'S defeat, and the re-occupation of
Harper's Ferry by the Confederates. They appear
to be not worthy of the least credit ; as little
probable is the statement that Confederate pickets
are on the wrong side of the Potomac between
Point of Rocks and Berlin—two places near Har-
per's Ferry, and so directly in the rear of M'CLEL-
LAN'S advance, that we may be sure that cautious
commander would allow of no such liberty being
taken with his communications. Besides, we hear
of STONEWALL JACKSON at Front Royal, some
hundred miles from Harper's Ferry. As, however,
M'CLELLAN leaves for inaction, and EURNSIDE is
put in to act, the latter can hardly delay long to
make some important movement, one which must
be followed either by a damaging defeat or by
driving the enemy more to the South. The wea-
ther must be unfavourable to military action, but
the Ist of January is now fast approaching, and
Mr. LINCOLN must have his armies in a position to
make his proclamation something better than waste
paper.

The telegrams coming to us from Athens—
though terse as telegrams as can be—are, we cannot
but think it, full of significance. " The great pro-
bability," says one, "of the election of Prince
ALFRED to the throne has caused some excitement
among the foreign Ministers." And no wonder !
" Tranquillity," it is added, nevertheless " prevails
throughout the country." There is another tele-
gram, however, that remarks—" It is asserted that
the English Minister has consulted his Government'
with respect to the demonstrations taking place in
favour of Prince ALFRED." To which the next
flashes of the electric current append the intima-
tion :—" The English Government is stated to have
replied that the Minister should in no way endea-
vour to influence the election." A reply this—if
meaning anything—negatively favourably ! The
Election of Prince ALFRED to the throne of Greece
would, if recognised frankly by the rest of the
great European Powers, be manifestly to the advan-
tage of our own policy. The choice suggested
would not alone, we are persuaded, prove advan-
tageous to the,interests of England. Prince ALFRED'S
nomination to the Throne of Greece would be an
advantage also to the Greek people themselves. And
a disadvantage, we are perfectly satisfied of this, it
would be, to no other Power in Christendom. Greece
would beyond a doubt gain with the acceptance
of Prince ALFRED a notable increase of territory by
the absorption of the lonian Archipelago into her
dominions. England, at the same time, by that very
arrangement would be rid at last of a troublous
and most vexatious Protectorate. Far more impor-
tant to Greece than the extension of her sway geo-
graphically, would be that guarantee of her liberties
which would inevitably be secured to her upon her
acceptance of England's second son for her Sovereign,
Tinder her auspices, more surely than under the
auspices of any other Prince that might be selected
by her as the new occupant of her throne, Greece
might reasonably count upon the enjoyment thence-
forth of the priceless blessings of a Constitutional
Government. As to the influence the election of
Prince ALFRED to the Throne of Greece would
have upon the interests of France especially, but of
the Western Powers of Europe generally, there
is still reason to hope that it will be on
calm reflection recognised at the Tuileries
and at other courts as in no way malific as
in many important respects desirable to the majo-
rity of the nations of Christendom. A national
guarantee, such a decision as this would be inevita-
bly, that yonder in the East the interests, not of
England alone, not of Greece alone, but of Western
Civilization itself would be cared for.
Recognising this, we cannot induce ourselves
to attach any serious importance to the bragga-
dociose words blurted out by La France, to the
effect that " The great Western Po ivers have com-
mon interests in the East, which ought to unite
and not to divide them. It is evident," says La
France, "that if one of the Powers desired to obtain
a preponderance of the other the equilibrium of their
relations would be disturbed, and a shock be given
to the principles on which their good understand-
ing rests." It is not the 31 oniteur that talks thus,
remember—it is merely La France. The accents
are not those of the Emperor NAPOLEON 111., but
merely those of the Viscount DE LA GUERRONIERE.

PARTRIDGE was in error when, upon his first exa-
mination, ho pronounced his opinion that there

was no bullet therefor extraction ! Dr. NELATON

being in the right when, in opposition to the
majority of the surgeons, he asserted that
h : nay, probably in the right also when
he affirmed that the probo he used in his
e tt,
examination actually struck against the ball
teer
still lying there perdu. A reasonable and confi-
dent hope may now be cherished, in earnest, that
before very much longer the General's recovery
from his sick couch may be effected, and his health
(tried so seriously by these lengthened sufferings,
and by this long confinement to the languor and
inertness of life in an invalid's chamber) may, by
judicious treatment, be rapidly and securely estab-
lished.

Meanwhile there are these legislative discussions
which have now commenced in earnest at Turin—
where Signor RATTAZZI finds himself at last brought
face to face with the ranks of a powerful and serried
Opposition. This—after the affair of Aspromonte !
Alter—the ignoring by the Government of the
Minister's Imperial patron, of the despatch or cir-
cular of General DURAND° ! After—the dissipa-
tion of the last faint, feeble, dimly-outlined expec-
tation that the policy of the RATTAZZI Cabinet
was still pledged to the cause of Unifica-

tion. The Minister stands at this momen
before the strong Opposition whose chief orators
are now in rapid sequence following each other
into the Tribune, to pour forth thence the phials
of their wrath on the devoted heads of the Italian
Premier and his Ministerial colleagues—RATTAZZl
stands before the Chamber of Deputies and before
the whole mass of the Italian population out of
doors in this disadvantageous plight : that he is re-
cognised now on all hands as having deceived the
nation, as having deceived his fellow-countrymen,
at least so far if no further—that he is known now
to have assumed a virtue while he had
had it not ! To have ousted Signor RICASOLI
in other words upon the pretence of going more
resolutely and more determinedly to work to secure
the simplification of the national difficulty and the
dissipation of the national troubles by the one device
of Italian Unity ! How far the Minister's policy
has been successful in that direction Italy, Europe,
' the whole world knows now full well. The faintest
vestige of a hope of any proximate solution of the
problem has, :miler his insidious and double-dealing
policy, been scouted. Events of a painful character
demonstrate the fact that it is so. The conclusions
arrived at are drawn from facts that no one can gain-
say. If the Opposition now confronting Signor
RATTAZZI in the Chamber of Deputies at Turin were
to move for his impeachment, they have names and
dates, and facts, and documents within their reach,
abundantly sufficient to enable any Parliamentary
body to draw up a Bill of Attainder of a character
altogether unanswerable and overwhelming.
Every purpose, however, may—far more readily
and quite as effectually—be answered by the
agency of a free discussion of the whole
political situation of the country in
the popular chamber of the Italian legislature. To
those discussions the friends of Italy may now,
therefore, look most hopefully. Through the de-
bate which has but just been commenced in the Par-
liament at Turin, the patriotic portion of the as-
sembly may rationally hope to worst all the more
insidious, and therefore all the more really dange-
rous members of the RATTAZZI Cabinet, to—" Con-
found their polities, Frustrate their knavish. tricks°
—and generally to look for the expiation of all
recent errors by resorting perhaps to IticAsom;or
at any rate, by calling to the helm of the State some
man whose min'sterial robes have not been trailed
in the blood of Aspromonte.

Government with regard to his ultimate fate. He still per-

dering his wife ; but it would seem that be does not now
sap anything with reference to the girl Humbler being the

THE EMPEROR OF MOROCCO.—The following is
from the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 13th inst. :—" Letters
from Tangier mention that the Sultan of Morocco has re-
moved the prohibition against the importation of :sulphur
and saltpetre. These articles aro no longer to be the sub-
ject of a monopoly, but, as an experiment for one year,
they are to be admitted at an ad valorem duty of 10 per
cent. The exportation of rags and aloe fibre is also to be
allowed—the former paying a duty of 10 ounces (about
Is. 3d.) the canter or cwt., and the latter six ounces. It is
reported also that the Sultan is about to make his debut as
a manufacturer, his highness having made arrangements
for establishing a paper manufactory at Mogador, under
the superintendence of an Englishman. Experiments in
the cultivation of the cotton plant have been made on a
small scale in the neighbourhood of Mszagan and Saffi
The specimens produced are reported to be of excellent
quality, and have encouraged the Moorish Government to
send for a large quantity of cotton seed) as well as for the
machines used iu cleaning the cotton, with a view of intro-
ducing the cotton cultivation into Barbary."
THE SILK TRADE IN FRANCE.—The Salut Public
of Lyons shows that the exportation of silks of all kinds,
including ribbons and trimmings, reached, in 1861, a sum
of 333,310,0001 r.. being less by 121,421,4191 r. than in 1860,
The resul- of 1861 is oven inferior to the quinquennial ave-
rage by 86,806,742 fr. in 1861. The difference, compared
with 1859, is 166 millions of francs. These figures (says
the Salta Public) show the extent of the crisis through
which the silk trade is now passing.

PARIS, Nov. 22.

Ia .France of this evening, in an article upon the
attitude of England with respect to Greece, and on
the proposal to elect Prince Alfred to the throne of
that country, draws attention to the gravity of the
situation, and says :
‘, The great Western Powers have common inte-
rests in the East which ought to unite and not to
divide them. It is evident that if one of the Powers
desired to obtain a preponderance to the prejudice
of the others the equilibrium of their relations would
be disturbed, and a shock be given to the principles

NOVEMBER 23,

The Paris papers of to-day publish a telegram
dated Athens, November 21, asserting that orders
had been sent to Corfu from London to make pre-
parations in that island for the reception of Prince
Alfred.

La Patric publishes the following:—
"We are informed from London, under date of
the 21st of November, that £LE Baron de Brunow,
the Russian Ambassador, has communicated to Lord
Russell a despatch from Prince Gortschakoff with
a view to establish that the Cabinet of St. Peters-
burg did not intend to deviate from the spirit
and the letter of the 3d paragraph of the London
protocol of the 3d of February, 1830, and that con-
sequently it could not recognise as Sovereign of
Greece a Prince belonging to either of the families
placed under that interdict.
" We believe that a similar communication has
been made to M. Drouyn de Lhuys by M. d'Oubril,
the Russian Charge d'Affaires at Paris.
" This double step still leaves the question open
as to whether the Duke of Leuchtenberg ought to
be considered as excluded by the stipulations of

7HE LADY STUDENT QUESTION-WHO

STOPS THE WAY?

It is fortunate for mankind in gencral, and for
English mankind in particular, that we are in a
position to prove that Miss Garrett's failures are
not all duo to masuline malignity, but that in fact
she might by this time actually have been reading
for her " Bachelor ship," but for the incorrigible
action of her own sex. The proof is this :—Almost
two years since Miss Garrett applied to a London
medical school for admission to attend lectures. The
Dean of the school thought she ought to be ad-
mitted, sounded the students, and found that there
would be no opposition there, and then using all his
influence called a meeting of his colleagues. There
were eight in town who had votes, and the Dean
knew that three beside himself were determinately
in favour of the lady ; the others he was not so sure
about ; but on the doctrine of chances be thought the
admittance was nearly certain. The night of meeting
came, and Mr. Dean was voted to the chair. Now, said
he to himself, all is right, for if we vote equally for
and against, I have the casting vote. The business
commenced, but to the chairman's annoyance two
difficulties occurred ; the four doubtful men were as
one against the admission, while the staunchest of
the four for the admission did not make an appear-
ance. The chairman, to gain time, asked every man
to speak; for himself he spoke twice, now earnestly,
now amusingly, but it was of no avail ; time would
fly, the defaulter did not come, and vote—vote they
must. " Gentlemen, the question is—Shall Miss
Garret be admitted a student of the school ?" " For
Miss Garrett"-7hree. "On the contrary"—Four.
Motion lost, and meeting breaks up ; Dean very
down at mouth, and Miss Garrett once more on the
,ender mercies of the hard world.

Reader, dream not that the story is ended, you
are quite mistaken if you think so, for the cream of
it is now to come. On the morning following the
meeting, the Dean, after a melancholy night, has-
tened to his energetic and yet defaulting colleague.
" Friend," said the Dean, sharply, " why did you
not come last night, your negligence lost us
the vote " Nay," replied the defaulter, " don't
be angry ; sit down, and I'll tell you. The fact is
I meant to come, for I believed in the cause, and I
actually had on my hat and gloves to start, when
my wife asked where I was going. She didn't
want me to go out in fact, and so I had to show her
the necessity for my presence at the meeting, and
to urge that, as a chivalrous man, I must go. Will
you believe it ?—On my honour, no sooner did I
finish, than she opened on me as she never did before.
A woman going to study anatomy with men stu-
dents, and I voting for it ! If I did it she would
quit the house, and'—" We leave the rest ; simply
recording that the gallant Professor got such a
sound rating from his better half, that he was driven
to retire back to his slippers, and to give up poor
Miss Garrett to her fate. The Dean heard the nar-
rative and melted. " This is clearly a case," said
he, " for the women themselves, and may be your
your wife was right. One woman's opinion is as
good as another, of course, perhaps better."—Social
