THE EASTERN QUESTION.

(Prom, the Morning Herald.)
Are we, or are we not, supporting the Turkish Sove-
reign and people in their heroic resistance to the law-
less invasion of the Russian despot? If we are not,
why, in the name of honesty, is our fleet in the Sea of
Marmora? If we are, why, in the name of good faith,
is our ambassador at St. Petersburgh, and why are
Russian frigates repaired in British dockyards ?
Letters from Constantinople have confirmed our stir-
mise that another note had been despatched from our
precious Cabinet for the acceptance of the Porte ! ! It
was, of course, utterly disregarded. How long is this
imbecility or treachery to be endured ? How long are
the name and honour of England to be the playthings of
drivelling incompetence ?
There is now for this country but one course of honour,
and, we believe in our hearts, but one course of safety.
We ought instantly, and without the loss of an hour, to
give to Turkey the most prompt, effective, and decisive
support. The only question now to be determined is,
whether the Emperor of Russia is strong enough to keep
the Danubian provinces. If he is strong enough he will
keep them, and the sooner the question is tried and the
game played out manfully and resolutely the better. If
our ships can burn his fleet in the Black Sea, they ought
to do it. If they can take possession of the mouths of
the Danube, they ought to do it. If they can harass or
annoy his armies or his territories, they ought to do it.
If the Turks or the Circassians want arms or ammuni-
tion, we ought to send them ; and if the landing of
French and English soldiers at Constantinople can in the
slightest degree aid the Turkish arms, our bravest regi-
bements
thei and our best commanders ought immediately to
on r way.
The struggle is one of life or death to England.
Eighty years ago Lord Chatham said he would not argue
with the man who did not perceive the question of
Turkish independence to be one of life or death to Great
Britain. The battle of that independence is now fight-
ing on the banks of the Danube, and England is keep-
ing aloof—Lord Aberdeen writing notes, Lord Palmer-
ston endeavouring to re-instate himself in the good
graces of continental intriguers, and Lord John Russell
dreaming of a 51. franchise in towns.
We have already stated that the English Cabinet
has been within the last week occupied in the very
honourable effort to restrain the French Emperor from
taking that decisive course which the honour and
interests both of France arid England equally de-
mand. If the allied squadrons are not now in the
Black Sea, it is because instructions from home
have over-ruled Lord Stratford—if a French army
is not now on its way to Constantinople, it is because
the urgent representations of our Ministers have induced
the French Emperor to suspend for a short time that
step. In what position is England thus placed, not
only deserting the Porte herself, but depriving Turkey,
at least for the time, of the aid of an ally, more honest
and energetic than ourselves.
We do not believe we can long do so. The wise mea-
sures of the French Government have happily relieved
the apprehension of a scarcity of provisions which
caused the only drawback upon the determination of
that Government. The union of the Pretender and his
Orleanist kinsmen, brought about by Russian and
Austrian influence, has taught Louis Napoleon how lit-
tle his dynasty has to expect from the Absolutist So-
vereigns of Europe. The interest of his country and
his dynasty is the same. The fortunes of the reigning
family and the people are bound up together in resisting
the dominion of despotism, which Russian ascendancy
establishes.

DR. KAHN'S ANATOMICAL MUSEUM.—How strange it
appears that for so long a period the study of man, by
man himself, lshould have been neglected ! It could not
have arisen from want of inclination for that study, al is
fully proved by the crowds now daily and nightly visit-
ing the above establishment, where the mysteries of our
formation are eloquently explained by 1)r. Leach, the
erudite and able lecturer. Ladies have also become
such diligent students that it has been found necessary
to set aside a second day m the week for their admission,
when, under the able direction of Mrs. Leach, they are
instructed in the best mode of educating their children,
and are also warned of the folly of many fashionable
habits into which they tall. Every one should see this
magnificent collection.
