These, however, namely, the gaining a large profit,
and the sustaining and tempting customers by a
reasonable credit given, on unimpeachable, security,
were perfectly legitimate objects, which required
no concealment, but might be openly avowed.
It is true that they created no extravagant claim

on English gratitude, but they excited kindly
feelings, and induced us to deal more freely and

extensively iu consequence of the consideration

thus evinced. But there were other grounds
that would not bear investigation quite so well,
some of which were prompted by the selfish feel-
ings of the AUTOCRAT to secure for himself a safe
retreat in the hour of tribulation—others as a
bait to gain a larger prey, a net to secure a greater
number of gudgeons—and, more, to give a hold on
the borrower, which the lender might use to advance
his own nefarious projects, without fearing the
- opposition which he might otherwise anticipate from
those whom he had succeeded in fettering with
golden chains ! These hidden motives have gra-
dually been brought to light. These objects have
been clearly revealed, and exhibited in the best
point of view, and we may therefore estimate the
pretensions of Nicuous to our gratitude at their
actual and bona fide value.

We cannot altogether forget the state of the
European Continent at that time. The extraor-
dinary progress of the democratic principle, or the
natural solicitude which every potentate—except

THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LAITE,
Lessee, Mr. E. T. Sraith.

our own constitutional and well-beloved SOVE-
REIGN—must have felt during the period that
may well be described as the monarchical crisis,
it was natural that such parties should be desirous
of securing a place of refuge in the event of being
driven forth from the territories where they had
once exercised supreme control. Even NICHOLAS
himself might haVe felt that with 4,600,000/. in
the English funds, he might have contrived to
drag on existence as plain Mr. RomArroFF—and
that in the British Patmos he would be safe from
the vengeance of the Muscovite Republic, or the
Russian limited Monarchy. This was a perfectly
natural feeling, and one for which—although
purely selfish in its nature—we could scarcely
blame him.
But next it was used as a bait ! We cannot
forget that a Russian loan of 5,500,000/. was
shortly • afterwards brought forward. We our-
selves commented on the fact at the time, that the
proposition was introduced at a moment when the
borrower, had 4,600,000/...available in England,
which the moment the terms of the contemplated
advance were regularly concluded might be with-
drawn from the "United Kingdom, and that thus
10,100,0001. would be at the disposal of
NICHOLAS. Had it not been for the advance he
would have had but little chance of success. The
hook was, however, cleverly concealed, and, ac-
cording to Stock Exchange parlance, the credit of
Russia was firmly established in the English
Market. This was the second time in the cata-
logue, and for this we cannot owe any extra-
ordinary gratitude to the benevolent AUTOCRAT.
The third object has now come to light. The
baleful operation of our Monetary Code was well
known to the EMPEROR. He saw the effect he
could, produce by withdrawing nearly 5,000,0001.
in specie at a moment's notice. It would, as he
thought, so paralyse onr energies that he could
" devour his. Turkey" at leisure, without let or
hindrance on our part. .In this he " reckoned
without his host." His own exigencies in-
duced him to withdraw the greater portion
of the deposit, from time to time, as he required
it, but a comparatively small part remained. This
he has now taken at once, but fortunately it can-
not greatly injure us in consequence of the Aus-
tralian and Californian discoveries. The mask
has been flung aside before we could. be greatly
injured ; and the 600,0001. that has been sud-
denly withdrawn will act as a salutary lesson to
warn our capitalists not to enter into foreign loans,
and furnish those who may speedily be placed in
• a hostile position with weapons to be used against
ourselves. We can afford the money, now ex-
ported, but what would have been the result if
we had, a little time since, concluded a Russian
or Austrian loan, the proceeds whereof were kept
at the disposal of the borrower, and the whole to
be drawn at a moment's notice ?

It does not augui favourably for the new Re-
form Bill, 'or redound much to the credit of the
ABERDEEN Coalition, that all thoroughgoing pro-
positions are spoken of. as hopeless. The chief

thatAard as trying
to
kind,oh ! its quite unnatural for this coun-
try. Who but the broad-brims that built Phila-
delphia would think of representing this country
by straight lines, crossing each other at right
angles. True, the demand is irresistible for an-
nihilating the little boroughs which return, virtu-
ally, county members, but we've a scheme for
that affair ; most liberally advocate length-
ening the county side of the beam, and
down will :.0 go the right scale, just as
well as when the pocket-borough weights, were in
it. Such is the strain of Coalition writers, and
.wise are they in their generation. Argument is
nothing, to a good bold face. Treat a person or
a cause as having no locus standi, and half or more
of the bystanders will take it for granted that
it is so, •

It is not, therefore, altogether surprising that
some of the press who do not wish to do so
should be imposed on by the trick ; and, though
thoroughly liberal journals, that they should deal
with old and sound reform propositions as being at
present out of question. Able correspondents
also, while professing that the three main points of
radical reform must be arrived at before we shall
have done with Parliamentary Reform, yet pro-
pound their clever arrangements for getting rid of
the country gentlemen's boroughs but to give
them members in another form, just as if they had
no fulcrum at all whereon to rest the lever of
honesty and truth. To us this appears, in great
part, a groundless delusion. We have the fulcrum,
and it is so close to the mass to be moved, and gives
us therefore such power over it, that our adver-
saries know their chief hope to lie in concealing
it from our eyes. In the House of Commons,
in the Ministry, and in the Cabinet itself taken
together, we have a standing place from which a
political Archimedes, if such an one could now
be found, might easily move the anti-reforming
world. Last June not less than 172 members
recorded their vote in favour of the Ballot,
under the disadvantage too of knowing that it
was not a practical question. A change on the
part of about one-fourth of those who voted
against it would have obtained a majority in its
favour. In the Ministry the Ballot has a phalanx
of consistent supporters such as it never had be-
fore, and in the Cabinet it has gained one for
the first time, we believe, since the Reform Bill
was passed. Had the opposite party such a
hold upon the Government and PErliament, they
would well know how to use it in behalf of a
cause, even far less popular ; but with one so
popular as a complete Reform Bill would be, Mr.
BENJAMIN DISRAELI and Lord DERBY would soon
be masters of the field. With such watchwords,
as " the right of self-government," "taxation
only by, our own representatives," " free voting,"
" equal political rights," and the like, they would
soon bring public opinion to bear with irresistible
power on the waverers, and convert, effectually, ,

al i recusants who would rather govern an eman
cipated populace than not govern at all. Whig
ind Peelite strength, on this question, lies chiefly
of Liberals. It is, politically, the

CI?IMINAL COUjiT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
BIGAMY.

John Dickenson, aged 31, described as a labourer, was
indicted for feloniously marrying Jane Wilkins, his wife
being alive. The prisoner pleaded guilty.
The second wife, a good-looking young woman, stated
that the prisoner declared upon his honour that he was
a single man when he married her, and she believed
him, or she would not have gone to hurch with him.
The prisoner made a statement to the court in miti-
gation of punishment. His first wife had behaved very
badly to him. Some time ago she left him, and went to
cohabit with a policeman ; but afterwards, at her
urgent entreaty, he agreed to take her back again. He
did so, but all the return that he got for this generosity
were a number of debts which his wife incurred in his
name. She then returned to her former paramour, and
as she had been living with him in St. John's-wood ever
since, he thought he was justified in marrying again.
The Court asked the second wife if the prisoner re-
ceived any money with her, and she replied in the nega-
tive.

The prisoner was sentenced to eight months' imprison
ment.

LETTERS BY r K ft; G)LD EN AGE,

The following letter from The consignees of the Golden
Age corrects some of the observations circulated regard-
ing the refusal of her owners to allow her to take a mail,
and also exhibits the nature of the negotiations carried
on with the Post-office.
" Liverpool, Nov. 26.

" Sir,—ln the money article of an evening paper we
have observed the following remark t—` It is considered
somewhat strange that the owner of the Golden Age should
have declined to take letters to Australia at the customary
rate allowed by the Post-office, because the immense num-
ber that would have been sent must have paid them, as it
did the Great Britain, far better than the 1,000/. granted
to contract vessels.

" You probably are aware that the Post• office authorities
have heretofore claimed the right to speculate on mails sent
by private ships, of whatever nation, paying for the service
performed 2d. on each letter, and charging for the same Bd.,
or a profit of 300 per cent. This demand on the part of
the Post-office was resisted by the owners of the Golden
Age, but at the same time a tender was made to take the
mails for one half the amount of postage charged by the
Post-office, f irly concluding that a profit of 100 per cant.
was sufficient for the simple receiving and delivering the
mails.

" This proposition was declined, and an offer made by
the Post-office department of 151. per ton measurement for
any mails the Golden Age would receive from it, being the
amount charged and paid by shippers of ordinary mer-
chandise by the steamer. This the o,iners, of course, de-
clined. Yet desirous of accommodating the publio they
again tendered the ship for conveyance of the mails
for the sum usually paid to sailing vessels for the same
service -viz., 1,000/. This the department also declined,
and there was no alternative for the owners of the steamer
but to decline receiving mails from the Post-office alto-
gether ; but, at the same time, with a liberality worthy of
praise, they offered to receive letters and papers on board
the steamer, and convey them free of charge to Australia
for any one who would take the trouble to send them to
the ship.
" The statement as to the large sums received by the
Great Britain for carrying letters is altogether erroneous,
as the entire amount for letters and newspapers, at the
miserably low rate paid by the Post-office department, was
only 911. 7s. 6d. Further comment is unnecessary,
" We are, Sir, your obedient servants,

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE-MARKETS.—
The weekly reviews from these markets describe business
as inactive. There had, however, been a slightly in-
creased demand for coffee, and prices were better. Little
alteration had occurred in sugar, raw or refined, the ad-
vanced season preventing active operations. Rice was
fairly supported, but few sales had recently taken place.
Indigo and other articles were without change.

ket for manufactures was rather firmer, although the
business had not been extensive.

THE ÜBIQUITOUS MAZZINI.—It is reported from Milan
that the ever terrified garrison of that city has very
recently been alarmed by the rumour of a fre,h Mazzinian
outbreak. The spires of all the churches were occupied
by sentries, and vast precautions were taken against the
shadowy conspirator, whose presence at Constantinople
and in Piedmont at the same instant is confidently
asserted in German prints.
