LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1853

_

During May, 1853, several of the reigning
Sovereigns of Continental Europe assembled, it
will be perfectly well remembered, in the capital
of Austria. Vienna was for several weeks the
scene of Royal festivities, and more than one
crowned guest enjoyed, for a time, the Imperial
hospitalities of Schcenbrunn. Among the august
visitors to the metropolis of Austria Proper, it
was long expected would be numbered no less
important a personage than the EMPEROR of all
the -Russias—the • Potentate to IN horn FRANCIS
JOSEPH is indebted for the retention of his diadem,
or, at any rate, for the preservation of the sceptre
of Hungary. But the CZAR, it seemed, as days
passed by, was otherwise engaged. He refrained from
making his appearance in the capital of his im-
perial neighbour—and vassal. The regal gather-
ing dispersed, and no more was heard of the pro-
spective arrival of the AUTOCRAT, when—sud-
denly—there came intelligence of the extraordinary
mission of Prince MENSCHIKOFF to Constantinople.
The truth then became sufficiently apparent.
NICHOLAS had all this while been preparing his
enormous act of duplicity, resolved in his heart
to surprise the rest of the world into a recogni-
tion .of his proceedings by a grand diplomatic coup,
frightening the Divan into submission, and extort-
ing from the SULTAN the long-coveted political
independence of Turkey. His anticipations have
turned out to be rather premature. He is proved
to have counted with a delightfully unwarrantable
over-confidence. Instead of revealing his policy
by a success, he has only disclosed it by one of the
most ignominious failures to which an ambitious
potentate ever found his ideas subjected. His

insolent demands upon the Sublime Porte have
been scornfully rejected, not once only, but three
times consecutively. The Convention has been le-
fused—the Sened has been refused—the Note has
been 'refused : theultimiatum has been virtually kicked
over the Russian frontiers and the Plenipotentiary
of the CZAR after it. The Government of St.
Petersburgh, at the very moment when it was
preparing doubtless to welcome the triumph of
the, project undertaken by Prince MENSCRIKOFF,
awakens to the knowledge that the whole scheme
has failed—failed utterly and irretrievably—and
that the SULTAN, in his unparalleled temerity, is
backed simultaneously by France and England.
Thereupon the AUTOCRAT, having failed in his-

still pertinaciously insisting upon the justice of
his demands upon the Sublime Porte, through
the circular note (to which we referred yesterday)
signed NESSRLRODE. Possibly in thus acting up
to the part he has assumed, the CZAR may once
more go a little too far in his reliance upon the

I skill of his machinations. He counted upon the
success of his diplomatic onslaught upon Turkey—
he may count in like manner with implicit confi-
dence upon the consent of Western Europe to his
military occupation of the Danubian Principalities.
24_ brief interval, and the truth will, in this mat-
ter also, be revealed. In all likelihood we shall
learn by the next intelligence from Constantinople
-whether the passage of the Pruth has been
effected. It must then be speedily known how
the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries have
resolved upon acting in this extraordinary
emergency. It must be seen whether their
chivalry and hardihood are compatible with:
those already displayed by the SULTAN and
his Government. This can only be if the
passage of the Pruth by the Cossacks shall
have been looked upon as a declaration of hosti-
lities on the part of Russia. It will not be
enough that France and England should simply
Protest by sending their fleets to the Dardanelles.
The hour for simple protest will then have passed
by altogether—the moment will have arrived for
-prompt and energeqraeasures of warlike retalia-
tion. It will be incumbent upon our maritime
armaments, for example, to traverse the length of
the sea of Marmora, and take up their position in
the Bosphorus and in the waters of Constantinople.
If doemed requisite by our Ambassador at the
Sublime Porte, those armaments will have to ad-
vance still further—into the Black Sea—it may
be even to Odessa and Sebastopol. Under
any circumstances there can be no further
room for mere negotiation when once the Cossacks
shall have crossed the frontiers of the Russian
Empire in their march towards the line of the
Ball mn Mountains. Should Russia thus flagrantly
draw the sword upon Turkey—it will behove
France and England to draw theirs and to fling
away the scabbard.

This evening, on the second reading of the India
Bill, Lord STANLEY will move " that further in-
formation is necessary to enable Parliament to
legislate with advantage 'for the permanent go-
vernment of India, and that at this late period of
tho session, it is inexpedient to proceed with a
mettaure which, while it disturbs existing arrange-
ments, cannot be considered as a final settlement."
The Noble Lord has assumed a proper posi-
tion on this important subject. He has taken
th© right issue, which, if decided in his
favour, will afford 'the best possible chance
of .a. just and satisfactory solution of the great
problem as to the form of Government best cal-
culated to promote the welfare and happiness of
150, 000,000 of human beings either acknowledg-
ing allegiance to Queen VICTORIA, or dependent
on British protection for the scanty privileges they
enjoy, and also most likely to develope the ex-
traordinary natural resources of the Angle-Indian
Empire, and to render it a useful and profitable
dependency to the United Kingdom. Sir OHAR4s
WOOD asserts that there is not the slightest occa-:
skya for any postponement. He declares that
,we already possess the requisite information--
that there are, in fact, ample materials for
permanent legislation, and steadfastly rejects the
demand for further inquiry, refusing to the peo-
ple most deeply interested the opportunity of sub-
stantiating or even putting forward their com-
plaints.

It is, indeed, difficult to understand by what
process of reasoning the Right Hon. Baronet can
attempt to justify or to explain the numerous
inconsistencies of which he has been guilty in
dealing with this important subject. By far the
greater portion of his verbose and prolix ora-
tion was consumed in expatiating on the
admirable administration of affairs in our Eastern •
dominions, and the peculiarly felicitous results
that attended the inestimable services of the
magnates of Leadenhall-street and the statesmen of
Cannon-row. During. four heavy hours he
lavished praises on the Government, which, "if
not the best that could be devised, could not by
any means be condemned either as inefficacious or
inefficient," and yet the Right Hon. Baronet,
after dwelling at such length on the admirable
working of the system, refuses on any pretext, or
under any circumstances, to consent to their
continuance of this super-excellent administration
for even a single year ; any delay he regards as
pregnant with the most dangerous consequences,
and with extraordinary energy implores the
House to come to an immediate decision one
way or the other. Better even to overthrow the
entire system than to permit a moment's delay.
This constitutes the very essence of his Bill.
Any postponemeat is fatal to principle. it
must be carried at once, or not at all.

The suspicions naturally excited by this extra-
ordinary promptitude—this (considering the cha-
racter of the man) almost miraculous exhibition
of alacrity—are by no means removed by the con-
duct of the Board of Directors on the occasion.
Although the members of the Court loudly complain
of the contemplated interference with their body—
although they strongly object to the reduction of
their number, the diminution of their patronage,
and the intrusion of six Government nominees into
their councils—objections that would be totally
unanswerable if the statements of Sir CHARLES
WOOD as to the beneficial results of their past
government had any foundation—they still, albeit
unwillingly and grudgingly, consent to the mea-
sure, by which their powers and their patron-
age will be so grievously curtailed, and endeavour
to force on the measure through both Houses at
this advanced period of the session, when it is
utterly impossible that it can obtain the calm and
attentive consideration it so eminently merits.
They shrink from inquiry ; they dread investiga-
tion as the very worst evil that can happen,
feeling that a knowledge of the truth—a thorough
acquaintance with the real state of affairs—would
be destructive to their hopes—preventing the pos-
sibility of the retention of any vestige of their
former power. Surely this strange andunaccount-
able precipitation-7 this extraordinary and unpre-
cedented departure, from former habits—for the
Honourable Company was almost as notorious for
procrastination as Sir CHARLES WOOD himself—
would alone furnish an irresistible argument in
favour of the postponement they are so anxious
to avoid—the inquiry which they so steadfastly
resist.

But there is another argument utterly inconsis-
tent with the other, on which almost equal stress
is placed by the advocates of the existing system
—the double form of irresponsible Government.
They declare that the present Bill is simply one of
continuance—that the question can be re-opened
at any time when the requisite information has
been obtained—the views and feelings of the
natives ascertained and thoroughly digested. This
most assuredly appears to be a strange argument
on the part of those who demand immediate
legislation at any cost, or under any circum-
stances ! How can Sir CHARLES WOOD re-
concile it with that portion of his address
in which he declared that it was the duty
of Ministers " to give India the best form
of Government that the wisdom of Parliament can
devise," and emphatically exclaiming, with respect
to this bill—" Amend it if you will—alter it if
you please—suggest improvements if you can ;
but let us not refuse to India the best Govern-
ment we can devise for the permanent welfare of
our Indian Empire." Surely this is utterly op-
posed to his statement to the Directors, that Mi-
nisters " had not proposed any fixed term for the
duration of this form of government, as we think
it advisable that it should be open at any time
to the consideration and revision of Parliament."
On this ground, then, legislation for an indefinite
period is also asked for ; but this, it should be
remembered is totally opposed to the opinions of
those who speak of the danger of exciting and
keeping up an agitation in India on the subject
of the future government of the country.
If, however, Lord STANLEY'S just and reason-
able proposition be negatived—if the dura-
tion of the new Government be continued
for an indefinite period—every scheme and
device will be resorted to to prevent further in-
terference. Then, indeed, a dangerous agitation
quay really be commenced, and the serious conse-
quences that have been so vividly depicted may,
indeed,
arise. We trust that Parliament may
avert these evils,
and that, by carrying the '
amendment ofth
the Noble Luc; they may afford

the satisfactory assurance to the people of India
that their interests are indeed looked after in the
Imperial Parliament, and that their affairs will
receive that public inquiry and discussion to which
their vast importance so eminently entitles them.

SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before R. Gurney, Esq..)

THE CAMP AT CIIOEHAM COMMON.

Yesterday was what is technically termed a "slow"
day at the camp. Compared with the influx of Tuesday,
the number of the visitors to the camp yesterday may be
styled, like the " complimentary calls of cherubims," few
and far between. The clouds, moreover, were lowering
and heavy, with an appearance which threatened much
rain, and which threat was more than realised during
the course of the day ; for, from twelve until eight in the
evening, the rain fell incessantly.
As we announced some days since, it was intended
that the whole of General Sir De Lacy Evans's brigade,
consisting of the 93d and 38th Regiments, with the
Rifle battalion, should strike their tents and set out
upon a march into the country. For this purpose three
days' rations were to be served out to the men, as that
was the time that they were expected to be absent from
the main body. Yesterday, however, in consequence ofthe
threatening aspect of the sky, the order to strike tents
was delayed to the latter part of the day, and the rain
having then set in heavily, the purpose was abandoned
until, as we believe, this day. Should the weather,
therefore, prove favourable, the tents will be struck at
twelve, and,the march commenced at one to-day. The
neighbourhood of the Virginia Water is, we are informed,
the place selected for their camping during their absence
from head-quarters. The troops will return again to
their old ground at Chobham on Saturday evening. Of
course ail these arrangements are entirely dependent
upon atmospheric contingencies ; for though, as all are
aware, if employed upon actual service the division
would have to march in any weather and at any time,
in the present instance, as there is no emergency of the
kind, all unnecessary fatigue or careless exposure of the
troops is most carefully avoided. If, therefore, this
day should be wet at Chobbam, the whole movement
will, most probably, be postponed to the ensuing week.
For some days past a number of the Sappers and
Miners have been busily employed at the Virginia
Water in pitching tents, trenching the ground, &c., for
the reception of three or four of their companies, who
will be encamped there for some weeks. This altera-
tion of the quarters of the Sappers and Miners is made
with a view to facilitating, by their presence on the spot,
the pontoon operations, which will take place at Vir-
ginia Water, on a grand scale, as soon as all the arrange.
ments are completed. The whole of the pontoon train,
together with the waggons for its proper transportation,
were expected to arrive at Chobham Camp last night, or
early this morning. Immediately upon its arrival the
companies of Sappers and Miners now encamped will
proceed with it to the Water, and then get into work-
ing order the whole of the complicated apparatus.
On Tuesday next, we believe, the greater portion of
the forces in camp will march across the country to the
Virginia Water, and there the passage of the troops
across the pontoons will be gone through. It is expected
that a large concourse of spectators will attend to wit-
ness this evolution, which is pronounced by all military
authorities to be one of the most beautiful sights afforded
by the field-operations of the British army. No precise
date has yet been fixed for these manoeuvres, as they are
at present solely dependent on the preparations now
going on under the superintendence of the Sappers and
Miners, and which it is generally thought in the camp
will be complete by Tuesday next. Should it not be so,
the pontoon review will be postponed until the following
field-day, on Friday week.
The health of the troops at Chobham continues excel-
lent, and the camp around is as clean as it was during
the inspection by her Majesty on Tuesday. This is as it
should be, and we were delighted to witness it.
A very little attention on the part of the men easily
keeps the ground in the vicinity of the tents they occupy
clear from rubbish, and imparts to the whole camp a
look of neatness And good order, which, if only for ap-
pearance sake, it would be as well to maintain. A hint
from their commanding officer would speedily keep up
the present tidy look, which, while it added to the com-
fort, would also materially contribute to the healthy
condition of the men. We refrained from noticing its
dirty, littered condition up to the present time, believ-
ing that, as the troops settled down, neatness would
become a general order of the day. The camp,
however, is now clean, and it can easily be kept so.
On Friday there will be another grand field day- and
we may as well at once state, for the information of those
present at the review on Tuesday—that that day
must by no means be taken as a criterion of the general
field-days at the camp. The extreme brevity of the
sham fight on Tuesday surprised even the military spec-
tators on the ground. The manoeuvres were undoubt-
edly very brilliant, but the sight-seers who had come
such a distance for the purpose would have appreciated
their brilliancy all the more for their being a little
longer. We believe, however, that the operations were
terminated more abruptly than they otherwise would
have been in consequence of the indications of heavy
rain becoming then very threatening. Indeed, the
troops had scarcely filed off the field when, as the public
are aware, it became very wet, and continued so for the
remainder of the night. However, from whatever cause
it arose, Tuesday's operations would not bear a mo-
ment's comparison with the field-day of the previous
Friday.

There was a long list of cases disposed of at an early
hour, but none possessed any feature of interest, except
one brought against the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany, for damage done to some iron rails during the
voyage. It appeared that the goods had been conveyed
a portion of the way by railway, and on delivery to the
vessel the packages were broken open for convenience,
and put on board loose. The question arose whether
the damage had been caused by the Railway Company
or by the rolling of the vessel. The Navigation Com-
pany contended that the(l delivered the goods in
the same condition as they received them, and that
any damage must have occurred on the railway.
On the other hand it was contended that the Steam
Company had ample opportunity to ascertain the nature
of the cargo, and ought not to have received it if
damaged, without at 'once notifying the fact ; but in-
stead of doing so, they had given an unconditional
receipt.
His Honour said that had the goods been made up in
packages the defendants could not have ascertained
whether the contents were perfect or not, but in the
mode of delivery as now described, the servants of the
company had every opportunity for investigation.
Verdict for the amount claimed.

OFFICERS IN THE CUSTOMS..—Yesterday a return
showed that the aggregate charge in the year ended
the sth of April last for officers in the customs, is
646,738/. 12s. 3d.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

OVERLOADING OF RIVER STEAM-BOATS.---Yesterday,
at. the Westminster Police Court, the captain of the
Citizen steam-boat was convicted of carrying, on a par-
ticular day, fifty-four passengers in excess of the number
allowed by law, and for which his boat was licensed.
He was fined 10/., apd 2s. 6d. for each of the fifty-four
persons above his proper number,

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. D'ETNCOURT.—Last night the
presentation of a testimonial to the Right Hon. C. T.
D'Eyncourt, late M.P. for Lambeth, was made the ap-
propriat4 occasion for a reunion of his friends and sup-
porters in'the borough, at the Horns Tavern ' • Lord D.
Stuart, M.P., presiding on the occasion. The testimo-
nial consisted of a very splendid silver vase, chaste in
form and elaborate in execution. It bore the following
inscription —" Presented on the 22d of June, 1853,
by the electors of the metropolitan borough of Lambeth,
to the Right Hon. Charles T. D'Eyncourt, their repre-
sentative for 20 years in the first five parliaments after
their enfranchisement in 1832." On the opposite side
was engraved—" Tribute of affection, attachment, and
esteem for his private worth, respect for his patriotism
and independent character, and gratitude for his able,
consistent, and faithful services in the cause of civil, re-
ligous, and commercial freedom throughout a parlia-
mentary career of 34 years." The other sides bore the
crest and armorial bearings of the right hon. gentleman
and the name of the manufacturers. There was at least
150 gentlemen connected with the borough present on
the occasion.

UNITED SERVICE INSTITIITION.—A lecture was deli-
vered at this institution last evening, Lord Radstock in
the chair, to a rather numerous audience, by Sir Thomas
L. Mitchell, on the subject of the "Boomerang Propel-
ler." The lecture was, in the greater part, devoted to
the explanation of several models and specimens of this
novel motive agents, as also to a detail of the results of
several experiments made, which were alike satis-
factory and encouraging. With the assistance of these
specimens, as also by repeated references to some dia-
grams and mathematical illustrations, the learned lec-
turer proceeded to demonstrate the importance of the
Boomerang invention, for which science is mainly in-
debted to the examination of the rude weapons of
warfare heretofore wielded by the aboriginal Australians,
and which, for a considerable period after its intro-
duction into this country, was merely regarded as
a toy, at best suited to the decoration of a
museum. But whether regarded in future as an inven-
tion, or a mere improvement on the old screw principle
—whether destined to propel the " woden walls" to vic-
tory, or the commerce and inhabitants of these realms
to the remotest regions of the earth—the credit of the
invention was justly due (observed the lecturer) to cer-
tain observations and suggestions made to bun by
his friend Mr. Bailey. The capability of the agency
could not be said to be at present altogether known.
It, doubtless, admitted of much greater developement
than it had now attained to : and when after the lapse
of some time it should expand into maturity, there was
no reason why ships should not be made to traverse
the seas with the same velocity that trains attained
on railways. The lecturer, after dilating some
three-quarters of an hour on the details and gene-
ral nature of the " Projector," applied himself to
the refutation of certain strictures contained in the
pamphlet of Captain Fitzroy on the subject. He
contended the gallant captain was altogether incorrect
in his opinions and calculations. The invention was
based upon proofs as incontrovertible as any axioms
that ever had been :accepted ; and until such time as a
square could be proved to be a triangle, these proofs and
evidences would obtain in the world of science.
REPRESENTATION CF LIVERPOOL.—The Conservatives
of Liverpool have the walls of the town covered with
bills announcing that the Hon. Henry Thomas Liddell
(who is the eldest son of the Lord Ravensworth) and
Thomas Berry Horsfall, Esq., were the candidates who
had been brought forward to supply the vacancy in the
representation of the borough, consequent on Messrs.
Turner and Mackenzie having been declared unduly
elected. There has been no public move by the Liberal
party as yet in opposition to these candidates.
THE TURN-OUTS.—In addition to a turn-out at Stock-
port of nearly 20,000 operatives, one of nearly equal
magnitude appears to be imminent at Blackburn and
Darwen. It was stated last week that a small portion
of the operatives at Blackburn, called "loomers," who
attach the warps to the looms for weavers, had struck
for higher wages ; and we now learn that Messrs. Fielden
and Jackson, having obtained loomers to supply the
place of the turn-outs, the whole of their weavers have
turned out in aid. Under these circumstances, a com-
bination has taken place among the employers, and they
have given notice that they will close their mills in a
fortnight, unless the claim is abandoned. At Darwen
the loomers have turned out at one mill, and, new hands
having been substituted for them, they were attacked
and stoned in the streets.

YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.— YeS terday
a special meeting of the York and North Midland Com-
pany was held at the railway station, York, for the pur-
pose of considering the provisions of a bill incorporating
a company for making a railway from Hull to Withern-
sea, in Holderness, with a branch therefrom, &c. Mr.
H. S. Thompson, the chairman of the York and North
Midland Company, presided. The chairman, after some
explanations, moved to the effect that the meeting ap-
proved of the scheme, and authorised the directors to
make such modifications or alterations as they thought
expedient, or Parliament. might sanction or require.
The resolution was earned unanimously. The chairman
then detailed the general principle of the agreement pro-
posed to be entered into between the two companies, and
proposed a further resolution, which authorised the di-
rectors to carry such agreement into effect. This reso-
lution was also agreed to ; and after some further dis-
cussion of the company's affairs, the meeting broke up.
