THE SPITHEAD SQUADRON, _

This large force is at present under two flags. The
Duke of Wellington 131, Agamemnon 91, Blenheim 60,
Hogue 60, Ajax 58, Edinburgh 58, Odin 16, Sidon 22,
Encounter 14, and the Nerbudda 12, fly the white ensign,

the Port-Admiral. The Prince Regent 90, London 90,
Imperieuse 60, Amphion 34, Highfiyer 21, and the
Leopard 12, fly the blue ensign, being under the orders
of Rear-Admiral Corry. The gale mentioned yesterday
continued to-day, if possible, with increased violence,
although overhead the weather is bright and the sun
powerful. The fleet continue with their lower yards
down and the topmasts struck, which gives the ships a
r)ry j--)culiar appearance.

no'r at Spithead. We have no doubt that such a spec-
tacle, which has not taken place since 1814, will draw
thousands to witness it, particularly if her Majesty, with
her august visitors, should be present.
The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw, Captain Henry
Byam Martin, has now all her weights on board, with
her extra quantity of provisions, which has brought her
lower deck port-sills exactly to the distance from the
water's edge as was designed by her constructor, Mr.
Abethell—namely, 5 feet 10 inches. This may appear
to be rather low for bad weather, and in fighting her

lower deck guns, but it must be taken into consideration
that she is now at the deepest, and that 1,100 men will
lighten the ship at the rate of nearly 50 tons a week.
The Oberon, 3, iron paddle-steamer, Lieut. Commander
"Wise, has entirely cleared out, and returned stores to the
dockyard. As soon as the weather moderates the
Sprightly, Master Commander Allen, will take the offi-
cers and crew belonging to the Vulture down to Ply-
mouth to rejoin their ship. They were employed to
bring the Oberon home to put her out of commission.
The American liner Northumberland arrived at Spit-
head last evening from the Thames, to embark passen-
gers and stores from this port for America, at the hands
of Lloyd's agents, Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon.
THE ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN PATEY, OF THE AMMON.
—On inquiry to-day at Haslar Hospital, we are happy
to report that Captain Patey, of the Amphion, still lives,
and the symptoms which have manifested themselves
since he has been brought ashore are pronounced favour-
able, but that is all. He lies in a very exhaused and
critical state. The two men who were struck down by
the fall of the same block are much injured, but are go-
ing on favourably. The bodies of Lieutenant Lambert
and Assistant-Surgeon Muirhead, of the Edinburgh, 58,
and the watermen have not yet been found.

PLYMOUTH, JUNE 29.

The Valorous, steam-frigate, Captain _Buckle, arrived
last evening from Queenstown, having left on Monday
afternoon. . _ _

BONDING *WAREHOUES AT LEIPSIC.—A late ordon•
nance of the sSaxon Government has established bonding
warehouses a t Leipsic on the model of those existing at
London. '[l e dock-warrant will enable the owners or
consignees t 4. obtain allowances on the goods, and for
any delay ui icier ten days no charge will be made beyond
the mere duty, levied to pay for the watchmen.

the present at least, by nothing more—that Turkey
would not resist this, but would treat it as an act
of war sufficient to justify her in admitting the com-
bined fleets to the Dardanelles ; and that France
and England, referring to the decision of Turkey
alone-the question whether the Porte was atpeace
or war, would on the invitation of the Sultan di-
rect their fleets to anchor by Constantinople.
Beyond this we did not venture to prophecy,
although we expressed our belief that when matters
were placed in this position means would be found
by which Russia would be permitted to recede from
her false position, not only without dishonour, but
with permanent advantage to herself.
We looked to this course of events, not as the
one most satisfactory or most conducive to the hon-
our and interests of Great Britain, but as the best
which the imbecile and uu-English policy of Lord
Aberdeen would permit us to expect. We are
driven again to confess, that the little additional
information we can gather -of the position of
European politics is lessening the confidence of our
hope that matters will be terminated without a
general convulsion. If the peace of the world is
disturbed we shall owe the horrors of universal war
to the imbecility which has presided—which still
presides—over our Foreign-office, at a crisis which
imperatively demands the firmest and the most re-
solute administration.
We will not now stop to discuss the merits of
that feeble and short-sighted policy which, with
some unreasoning instinct of a coming struggle was
weak enough in that struggle to seek Eniands
safety by an alliance with the absolutist powers of
Europe. Enough now to say that our children will
:yet,
,we fear,gnrse theeftecta.of that poliey_whiCh
placed Eagland in-a- position of a&iiitieaaa the.=
designs of Russia, and of estrangement from the
interests of the sympathies of France. Our object
now is to consider the = probable course of events.
We still adhere to the opinion that the next step
of Russia will be the occupation of the Danubian
provinces, although we confess we would be well
pleased to be assured that it would not be one
of more decided vigour, though we can hardly say
of more unequivocal hostility. Of the real state of
preparation in the Russian fleets or armies we
know very little, and in the absence of this infor-
mation we want the elements from which we can
well judge of the probalge movements of that bold
but wily power. Supposing the principalities occu-
pied, and no further step at present taken, then
comes the question what will France and England
dog A week ago we would. have answered without
hesitation, that the moment the Russian army
crossed the Pruth, the Porte would have been ad-
vised by the councils of both England and France
to treat this invasion as an act of war, and without
hazarding military operations to resist it ; upon the
assumption that it was an act of war, to open the
Dardanelles to the French and English fleets. They
would have been there not only to protect Constanti-
nople—an object of secondary importance so long as
they are at Besika Bay—but they would have been
there to sustain our ally in any act of defensive war
upon which he might necessarily be forced for the
destruction of armaments prepared against himself.
We believe this act of vigour to be the very least
exhibition of hostility by which the • occupation of
the provinces by Russia ought, on the part of France
and England, to be met. We stilllibpe that it may be
so ; but we have our misgivings. • The ill-omened
entanglements of Lord Aberdeen aro embarrassing
even the most determined of our Ministers. The
vacillation of our Cabinet is communicating its in-
decision to the councils of France—it is estranging
Austria from the cause of European independence,
and we confess we should see with more mortifica-
tion than surprise the invasion of the principalities
by Russia followed up by no one step on the part
of the dynasties of Western Europe._
The combined fleet in the Dardanelles would,
we believe, almost instantly produce offers of nego-
ciation. At Besika Bay they will onl give amoral
victory to the Cause of Rtissia. Of oyne thing,
repeat, we may be certain, that the Russian army
•
will immediately, cross the Pruth: Whether any -
Wit further will be attempted: depends partl,y
upon the preparation of Russia, ,and partly upon,.
the vigour displayed by their opponents. It may
' be the policy of the Northern Autocrat to keep'
Turkey in a state of constant preparation for de-
fence, and so waste the finances that are ill able
to bear the expense of
protracted armaments.
Whatever.vaat policy, it is plain. that the cause of

pirtly by riloMf from. 'the Nizam's private trea-
sury. But it was obvious that this was a temporary
expedient, destined to ward off the day of reckon-
ing for a short time only, and before long the
financial and military afiairs of the Nizam :s do-
minions must be placed upon a different footing.
That time has now, it seems, arrived. Colonel
Low has succeeded General Fraser for a tune, .
n
the Residency of Hyderabad, and the claims which
were partially disposed of in 1851 are now revived
in a more peremptory form. The Nizam and his
Ministers have this time no option bat to yield
assent, for they have exhausted their resources,
the debt is as large as ever, and. they have no
means of paying the troops which are necessary for
the collection of the revenue, and the safety of the
territory. Early in the month of May the Resi-
dent was instructed to demand of the Nizam an
immediate settlement. The Nizam attempted to
make another appeal for delay to the
_Governor-
General, but in vain ; and. though some discussion
ensued between Colonel Low and Sooraj-001-Moolk,
the Nizam's minister, there is reason to believe
that au agreement has been signed which goes
somewhat beyond the plan proposed in 1851. At
that time the measure contemplated was a lease of
territory representing 36 Lacs of revenue for three
years in order to clear off the debt then due from
the Nizam to the British Government. The
remedy now to be applied is of a more lasting
character. The districts assigned are to be ad-
ministered in the name of the Nizam by the British
Government, which is to pay the contingent out of
this revenue, and to release the Nizam from the
principal and interest in the debt. The advantage
of this plan must, of course, be determined by the
value of the districts chosen, and by their capacity
for internal improvement. The present amount of
the debt is above 60 lacs of rupees, and the annual
cost of the contingent is from 30 to 34 lacs ; but
some reduction may ' probably be effected in the
strength of the forde and in the expenses of
the staff. The districts ought, therefore, to be
sufficiently productive to cover this outlay, and also
to provide for the gradual extinction of the existing
!debt. We are not at present in possession of the
exact amount at which they are valued, but we be-
lieve they comprise one of the most fertile portions
of the dominions of the Nizam, on the banks of the
4Krishna, where cotton has been successfully culti-
vated.
1! It is
,possible that if the Nizam's Government is
!relieved by this arrangement from the heaviest and
'most regular charge upon its resources—that,
namely, for the payment of the contingent, which
the British Government was always compelled, for
the safety of the country, to enforce—it may be able
to recover its solvency towards its other creditors.
But sin Est the British Government has found itself
obligedzio interfere thus far to obtain., a security

bowad to take care thafthe araiun
to whor_.. the Nizam is equally indebted. should not
be prejudiced because the Governor General of
India has helped himself to what other creditors are
not strong enough to obtain. In one case especially,
which we examined in detail some time ago, British
Indian subjects have been forcibly dispossessed of
lands which they held under the Nizam's Govern-
ment, as a security for large advances made to the
British contingent. These parties have as yet ap-
pealed in vain for redress to the Governor-General,
to the Court of Directors, and to the Board of Con-
trol. Sir C. Wood refusesto disturb the acknowledg-
ed injustice which the joint powers of Leadenhall-
street have committed. Yet at this very time he is
sanctioning the appropriation of territories in pay-
ment of debts due to the British Government ; and
these territories, as there is strong reason to believe,
will include the very district already mortgaged to
British subjects, and afterwards wrested from them
by the Nizam. So that the Nizam would be
allowed to pay two distinct debts with one district,
and the revenue which the Government is to receive
for State purposes is already charged with an
equitable claim of private creditors. It has all
along been admitted, that if the Nizam's Govern-
ment were overthrown and his dominions annexed
to British India, the East India Company would
become liable for the just debts of a power
it had superseded. We have no doubt that
this more decided course of proceeding would be
a great boon to the natives of the country, and
would be far more consistent with justice and
good policy than the attempt to bolster up, against
ourselves and our own subjects, one of the last
and worst of native Governments. At this very
time several combats have taken place in outlying
parts of the Nizam's dominions between Arabs and
Rohillas, in which many lives have been lost.
Having the undoubted power to put an end to
these evils and abuses, we make ourselves, in great
part, responsible for their continuance by neglecting
to stop them. But the injustice is still greater
if the British Government steps in to settle the
question just so far as its own immediate claims
are concerned, provides for them out of the finest
parts of the country, and leaves all the other
claimants to their fate. If the matter has gone
thus far, and we are to impose a new treaty
on the Nizam, it is difficult to conceive what
prevents us from doing what is right altogether,
and putting an end to the mischievous and oppres-
sive pretence of an independent State which is
kept up in the Nizam's dominions. The scanty
resources of that Prince have been squandered.
during the last few years in bringing together irre-
gular bands of Arabs, Sikhs, Piudarees, and native
soldiery, to the number of 6,000 men, on whom
the Government affects to rely, in preference to
the force provided by treaty and disciplined by
British officers. These troops are the terror of the
country, and they may even prove, at some future
period, the centre of a serious disturbance. It is
to be hoped, therefore, that the arrangements now
in progress will include these several matters,
which are likely to give rise to discussion hereafter,
and. that the independent power which the Nizam
may retain will not be such as to enable him to
defraud his creditors or to plunder his subjects,
who must, after all, look to the British Govern-
ment for protection and redress.

THE ?ORD MAYOR'S't ONFERENCEs,
(From the Morning Chropicle.)
Had it beeii possible to avoid fate, Hector had
averted the bolt of destiny. Troy sank in a halo
of glory ; and there is an epic propriety in the
circumstance that the commission to report on the
state of the Corporation of London has been ga- ,
zetted in the mayoralty of Mr. Alderman Challis.
That gentleman—and we are not forgetful of the
similar good services of some of his immediate
predecessors—is doing much to retrieve the cha-
racter of the city. London-bridge, the new fish-
market, and the handsome new streets and approaches
which have of late years been undertaken, are
among the material triumphs of the corporation ;
whilst the City of London School, and some sensi-
ble votes towards charitable and educational pur-
poses, have shown that a right spirit is abroad
among the citizens generally on matters of higher
concern than broad causeways and improved brick
and mortar. Nevertheless, it must be owned that
it is, on the whole, rather on the part of indivi-
duals than on that of the City, as such, that the
' claims of science, art, and literature and education
have been recognised. Foremost among those who
have had the courage to read aright the social ne-
cessities of the people is the present Lord Mayor.
Mr. Challis has either succeeded in surrounding
himself with very good advisers, or he is a remark-
able person • and in civic, as in other dynasties, it
is among a govereiffn's highest merits to choose able
Ministers. Had Mr. Alderman Challis's predeces-
sors looked more to the moral advancement of
their respective wards than to the cuisine of their
year of office—had they considered that the huge
revenues of the great city of London were des-
tined for higher purposes than silly shows, and
pomps and vanities of the most childish description
—nay, had they remembered that even the princely
hospitalities of Guildhall and the Mansion-house
might have been dispensed with some worthier
object than that of securing ward interests, and
paying off obligations, retrospective or prospective,
connected with sinecures, business obligations, or
seats in Parliament—the corporation would have
stood, and would have deserved to stand, far
higher in public estimation than we fear it does at
at present. Our task, however, is not with past
short-comings, but with present advances.
The Lord Mayor is holding a very interesting
series of meetings, planned with much complete-
ness and with something of philosophic system,
with reference to the connection of science and art
with education. The recommendation of this sub-
ject in the Speech from the Throne at the
he opening
of the present session, and the distinguished and
early share taken by the city in the furtherance of
the Great Exhibition, abundantly warrant the pro-
minent efforts of the chief civic magistrate in con-
solidating and promoting the movement. The
Lord Mayor's conferences were commenced by as-
sembling the chief magistrates of the provincial
corporations for mutual counsel on the best means
of promoting local education in its scientific and
artistic aspects. The traditions of old were re-
spected in a genial dinner ; while the requirements
of the age were observed in a full and enlarged
consultation, from which much good must result.
The City must now take the lead—it must think
seriously of its proposed Maritime and Commercial
