the 22d linst., with between 180 and 190 men of the
30th and 44th Regiment, 20 invalids from the 13th,
92d, Royal Artillery, and Royal Engineers,, stationed
there ; also 293 women and children, and four officers'
wives and children whose husbands had gone to the
East. By the Tanning we learn that there are between
300 and 400 men, women, and children of the 55th Re-
giment waiting at Gibraltar for a passage to England.
The Cornwall transport was towed out for Malta on the
evening the Tanning left. The Trent, West India mail
steamship, had been fitted up by Rear-Admiral Super-
intendent Stewart, at Malta, to carry 450 horses to
Turkey. Her upper deck had been housed in, and the
lower decks all fitted up with stalls. The Tanning has
left Portsmouth for Woolwich to obtain a little repair
to her mnchinery.

The removal of the head-quarters of the troops in.
Australia from Sydney to Melbourne had caused some -
dissatisfaction in the former city. There was no other ,
political news.
The following mercantile and money article is ex-
tracted from the Sydney Morning Gerald of the 20th
March :- - ' - - ,
" The warlike asptct of affairs in Europe, strengtell:94
by the latest- adiices received by the Chusan, mus , as a
matter of course, present every difficulty in the way
,of
forming a correct opinion as to the prospeoth of our
markets of domestic and maritime commerce. From the
gold circulars which we . published •to-day -(saturdiry;
we learn that the alteration which our banks ilusiv
made in the • rate of exchange has caused' the
gold-market to rise in the same proportion. -Tnie
price of gold during the past week has been quoted as fol. _
lows :-New South Wales, 3/. 17s. to Si. 17s. 6d. • Ovens,
_,
31. 18s. 3d. to 31. 18s. 9d. ; Port'Phili.p; 31. 1e5,,64,19
31. 19s. The last consignments which the Sydney gold
escort will bring down arrived yesteiday, and imotiged
to 4,000 ounces. From a careful estimate of what has
been brought down from our own gold fields by the Go-
vernment escorts, by the private escort, 'and by private
hands, we believe that we may set down the quantity of .
gold dust received in Sydney since the Ist of January to
the present date at not less than 28,000 ounces. .. . -
" In good wools ready sales are effected, but the circa- •
lars before us again warn the growers that inferior quali-
ties ~
can only be moved at comparatively low prices. Com-
plaints still continue to be made that most of the wool this
season is very much worse than it was last year. On the "
whole, the price of wool cannot be said to have declined.
Prices are stated to be better than even the highly favour-
' able rates quoted at the last November sales. . • .-
"In tallow our market is extremely bare. Messrs.
Mort and Co. report that the small quantity. at their last
sale brought from 41s. to 48s. 6d. They observe, that, z
from the high figures now ruling, and likely to rule for I
tallow, the northern settlers will be induced to boil down ..
freely this season. By so doing they will not only reap an
immediate profitable return, but to a certain extent ad-
vance the value of their remaining stock. The prices of
our two staple items of pastoral produce are thus quoted:
-Wool, superior clips, ls. 6d. to ls. Bd. ; fair to good,
ls. 3d. to ls. 5d ; low to middling, ls. to is. 2d. ; grease, -
6d. to Bd.; locks, pieces, broken wool, &c., 6d. to is. ;
handwashed, ls. to ls. 6d. Tallow, beef, 43/. ' • mutton,
44/. ; station tallow, 381. Hides, each, ss. to 12s. Sheep-
skins, per lb. 3d. to 6d.

at this date is as follows :-Brandy, 396,589 gallons; Go' '
neva, 107,709 gals.; Rum, West India, 8.P., 85,700 0134 -

at 7to 2, anon at 9to 2. The closing price, however,
was 3 to 1 taken to some hundreds. 5 to 2 was laid
once or twice, but 3 to 1 was afterwards obtainable.
Andover was backed for some money at 8,7, and 6 to 1,
and 4 to 1 taken about him and the Hermit coupled.
At the commencement 7 to 1 was taken to upwards of
3001. about The Trapper, but he afterwards fell back to
Bto 1. King Tom had still some staunch adherents,
who took 12 and 10 to 1 about him. Hospodar, Ne-
ville, and Marsyas left off at 15 to 1 each. Wild Hunts-
man was backed for about 9001. at prices varying from
15 to 12 to 1 ; the lesser odds were taken to fully 6001.

IVHITSUNTIDE and its ACCOMPAN l-
INIEN TS. —IV hit untide is always a holiday, and with pro-
per accompaniments is enjoyed by ad classes. Juveniles always ex-
pect it to be accompanied whit new dre-s, and the same sentiment
exists with adults in every station of society. E. MOSES and SoN's
accustomed diligence, enterprise, and unequalled commercial posi-
tion, enable them to present the accompaniments of Whitsuntide in
the most approved manner ; their youth's and juven le attire for
Whitsuntide is more distinguished for variety than that of former
seasons. Its novel designs, and the new method of cutting invented
by E. MOSES and SoN, ensure them the most excellent fit, and add
most astonishingly to the appearance, comfort, and durability of the
garments. It is well known that no article of dress can look well,
feel comfortable, and wear well, unless it is properly cut and made.
A most magnificent stock of summer mats /leis has been selected by
E. MosEs and SON, that every taste might be most satisfactorily
gratified ; and though great advances have been made in prices, E.
MosEs and SON observe the same economical charges accompanied with
the best quality in materials and workmanship. E. Moses and SoN's
vests and trousers exhibit a concentration of every novelty in fabrics
which have been produced by the skill and industry of all countries. and
are unparalleled for superiority and cheapness. The Summer Coats
offered by E. MOSES and SoN combine every style for the season,
are light and elegant, approved by everybody because they are true
to the symmetry of the figure, and are charged more economical
Prices than at any other house. Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots and
Shoes, &c. &c., the best and cheapest in the world. E. hIOSES and
SoN's Wholesale Clothing. Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Business secures
greater advantages to merchants, captains, and emigrants than any
other merchandise could do. •
SPECIAL NOTICE.—The Establishments will be CLOSED on FRI-
DAY, June 2, re-opening on Saturday evening, Juno 3, at half-past
seven o'clock.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having' learned that the untradesman-like
f threhood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have

The Vienna correspondent of the Times, in a second
edition of that journal on Saturday, gave the following
account of the tactics of the Czar in so far as the Ger-
man powers are concerned :
" It daily becomes more evident that Russia is in great
danger of ultimately findinc, herself in arms against the
whole of the rest of Europe, but persons who are well ac-
quainted
with her tactics are of opinion that she will still •
manage to keep Austria and Prussia out of the field dur-
ing this campaign. The St. Petersburg Cabinet is well
aware that if the two great German powers should posi-
tively insist on the Russian armies being immediately
withdrawn from the principalities, it would be necessitated
to yield, and, therefore' its object must be to play them off •
against each other as long as possible. If Russia can
manage to keep Austria at bay until the bad weather sets
in, she will again begin to negotiate, and perhaps during
the winter succeed in obtaining acceptable terms from the .
Western Powers. It strikes me that the present position
of Austria and Prussia is fraught with danger. Both
Powers, by signing the Vienna protocols, have incurred
the serious displeasure of the imperious Czar, and they ap-
pear to believe that their alliance will be sufficient to pro- .
tect them against the future effects of his wrath. No one
who knows anything of Germany can attach any great im-
portance to the support of the smaller States, and, there-
fore, common prudence requires that a treaty of some kind
or other should be concluded with the Western Powers."
The Vienna correspondent of the Times was too com-
municative here to suit the views of his employers ; and
consequently the passage was struck out of his commu-
nication, as it appeared in the columns of our contem-
porary
yesterday. The above passage is of the highest
importance—for it accords with our own private infor-
mation as to what the course of Russian policy is to be.
It is by gettino. Austria and Prussia seemingly to side
with the Western Powers, while they are' in reality with
her, that she expects to accomplish her objects.—

AUSTRALIAN DIRECT STEAM NAVIGA-
TION COMPANY VIA PANAMA.

The first annual meeting of this company was held

yesterdarat the London tavern' Bishopigate-street.
J. CARNAC Mown's, Esq., took the chair.

Qui si parla Ttallauo.
Aoua s habla Esnano.

The Secretary, Mr. FOREMAN, read the report, from
which the following are extracted :
" The charter, as stated in the prospectus, authorises
your directors to raise, for the purposes of the company,
a capital of one million pounds sterling, represented by •
fqrty thousand shares, of twenty-five pounds each; an-
nexing a provision that the company shall not commence
business until the directors shall have satisfied the soard.
of Trade that the register of shareholders exhibits a
-subscription of. five ht ud.red.Ahousand pounds, on *idols
deposits to the amount of forty thousaud pounds shall
have been paid.
" The first duty of the Directors therefore being to rea-
lise as early as practicable the conditions required by the
charter, they have devoted their unceasing exertions to .
the accomplishment of that object. They have, indivi-
dually, laboured to obtain subscriptions in their respective
circles of friends ; they have, collectively, endeavoured
to awake a public interest in the great undertaking of the
Company ; first, by general advertisements is the daily
press ; secondly, by an extensive correspondence with all .
parts of the United ICingdom and her colonies, and also
with the States of America, North and South ; and finally, ,
by deputations from their own body to various localities
whose position and circumstances appeared to promise the,
support and co-operation of a common interest. .
The Directors regret the necessity of reporting that these'
efforts have not been followed by the desired results, either
in this country or in the Australian colonies. Seventeen thou-
sand shares were allotted by the deed of settlement tothe latter"
from which support has not been received to the extent of
even ono hundred shares, notwithstanding the manifest
advantages, so ably urged by the press, which those colo-
nies would derive from the establishment of the route by
Panama. In justice to the colonial goVernments and legis-
latures it may be stated, that a disposition has been evinced
to afford encouragement by liberal grants.
" Unshaken, however, as their confidence continues in

THE MAIM—SOUTHAMPTON, May 27.—The Penin-
sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamer
Iberia, Captain H. Meehan, sailed this afternoon for
Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, taking out
27 passengers, a full general cargo, and specie valued at
21,6351. for Cadiz, and 2001. for Lisbon. The Australian
Pacific Mail Steam-packet Company's screw steamer
Kangaroo arrived this morning from Constantinople and
Malta, and, after coaling, proceeded to Woolwich to em-
bark warlike stores for the East. The Kangaroo for the
past month has been engaged in the transport service,
and has been found a most efficient ship. The General
Screw Steam-shipping Company's steam-ship Indiana,
after a most successful voyage to Calcutta and the
Cape, has arrived here to discharge her cargo and
land passengers. The Indiana delivered her mails at
Plymouth this (Saturday) morning. The beautiful new
screw steam-ship Candia, belonging to the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, reached the
port this evening, after a rapid run from the Thames,
notwithstanding the heavy south-west winds she had to
contend with. The official trial trip of this steamer is
to take place on Wednesday next. The Royal mall
steam-ship Magdalena is to take out the West India and
Mexican mails of the 2d proximo. The new paddle-
wheel steam-ship Tamar, belonging to the Royal West
India Mail Steam-packet Company, is to take out the
mails of the 17th proximo. This steamer was officially
tried on Wednesday last, and attained an average speed
at the measured mile of over 14 knots, or 16A statute
miles an hour. The Tamar was built by Messrs. Pitcher,
of Northfleet, and is in the highest degree creditable to
that eminent shipbuilding firm. The *United States
mail steam-ship Washington, Captain E. M. Fitch, with
dates from New York to the 20th inst., is expected to
arrive off Cowes, on her way to Bremen, on Friday next.
LADY EMILY PONSONBY'S NEW WORK.—The new
novel, "Edward Willoughby," from the pen of the
author of "The Discipline of Life," has just appeared.
A great and permanent success may be predicted for
Lady Emily Ponsonby's new story. The author possesses
the happy talent of inculcating morality without feeling a
necessity to sermonise, and her tales, though breathing a
truly religious tone, have all the interest of the most excit-
ing novel. In the present instance, Lady Ponsonby has
sought to prove the danger of yielding to impulse, and
the various trials to which Edward Willoughby is ex-
posed, until experience has rendered him a better and a
wiser man, furnish opportunities for the development of
most charming and fascinating story.

the a :undness of their undertaking, and in the eventual,
success thereof, encouraged also by the almost universal'
approbation of the plan proposed, the directors do not,
hesitate-to ascribe the want of support they have hitherto
experienced to the disturbed condition of our great national
interests, and the consequent depression and discourage-
ment of individual activity and enterprise.
" The directors consider it a duty hero to. state, that,
they have entertained a proposition which, at first, ap-
peared to promise the effective support of American capi-
talists ; that they have devoted to it all proper considera-
tion, but foiind it fettered by conditions to which it was
impossible to accede, as involving a complete abandonment
of a principle deemed by them essential to the interests of
the company, viz., a free, open, unfettered competition
ltr
the contracts for the structure of the coinPany's machinery
and ships, and for the supply of the necessary stores and
requirements.
" Having thus represented the present position of the
company,.the directors desire to submit to the meeting an
exprgsion of their opinion as to the course which it may -
be expedient to pursue. It appears to them, that—as the
proliniivary expenses for the establishmontof the company
have already been incurred. and the current expenditure-,
until the commencement of active operations, is small, and
'nay admit of further reduction—it will be expedient to
await the issue of passing events."
The eiti.inreur alluded to the great exertions made by
the directors to get the shares taken in the proportion
pointed out by the charter, but they had not succeeded ;
owing, as he supposed, to the continual state of depres-
sion in all matters of speculation. Out of 15,800 shares
allotted, only about 7,000 ha.d been paid upon ; neither
had the inhabitants of the colony, which would be so
much benefited by the Panama route, come forward as
was expected. The Chairman ended by
tion of the report. mosiog the adop•
Mr. CHOWNE seconded the motion, during which he
highly eulogised the conduct of the directors, and said
that they had really only spent 2,761/. on the company,
out of the 13,4221. received as deposit.
A PROPRIETOR thought the company ought to be
abandoned, or better supported ; now they bad an act
of incorporation, the directors ought to sue the allottees
who had not paid their deposits.
The SOLICITOR said the board thought it would. only
damage the company ; time would; no doubt, point out
to them the advantage of completing their engagements.
The report having been adopted, a cordial vote pf
hanks was passed to the chairman and directori,when
he meeting adjourned.

dividual soldiersmembers of the borough police. The excite-
ment and
alarm on Sunday evening especially were
most intense, parties of disorderly soldiers set loose
from
barracks, followed by immense crowds of per-
sons, thronging some of the principal thoroughfares
of the town, threatening vengeance to the police,
while the more orderly portion of the inhabitants
were walking to or from the various places of wor-
ship. The soldiers referred tl belonged to a de-
tachment of the Gth Regiment of Foot, stationed at
this garrison. In justice to that regiment, however, as
well as for the credit of the service generally, we may
premise that those misbehaved men must not be taken
as a fair specimen of the corps, whose general good con-
duct we have never before heard called in question.
The fact is, on Wednesday, the regiment, some of whose
members had been the cause of those riotous proceedings,
left this town for Hull, and we !rest that in their new
quarters they may make amends for former delinquencies.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1854.

Dependent in a very great measure upon the
issues of the great contest now involving the fate
of Russia and of Turkey, are the political destinies
of nations as remote from each other as the Swedes,
the Greeks, the Poles, the Persians, and the Fin-
landers. It is tolerably certain that the struggle
which has at length actually commenced must
affect in a remarkable manner, for good or for
evil, the fortunes of both the Osmanli and the
Muscovite. In itself, surely, a mighty and mo-
mentons consideration. A wonderful reflection,
when it. is remembered that European Turkey
alone extends over nearly 200,000 square miles,
containing almost 15,000,000 as its popula-
tion : and when, in addition to this, it is
borne in recollection that Russia extends not
over 200,000, but over more than 2,000,000
square miles, and that its inhabitants number
altogether not 15,000,000, but more than
60,000,000 in the aggregate ! Supposing, there-
lore, that the result of the present contest were
calculated to influence the future condition of no
other countries besides Russia and Turkey, it
would be obvious at a glance that the war, even
thus restricted to the confines of the territories of
the immediate belligerents, must be one of a mag-
nitude and importance absolutely extraordinary.
But the effects produced by the present struggle
cannot by possibility be prevented by merely
human agency from extending in their operation
beyond the Russian and the Turkish boundaries.
With the destinies of those two empires are bound
up more or less intimately those of many adjacent
tribes and races, of many contiguous provinces and
principalities. It is not merely that the consequences
of the war must be felt peculiarly in Circassia or
in Montenegro, in the Crimea or in Herzegovina.
But, as already remarked, at the outset of these
observations, the result must in like manner affect,
for good or for evil, the destinies of Sweden, and
Greece, and Poland, and Finland, and Persia,
and even Tartary. Defeat Russia, for example,
and you at •
Once Jeopardise to her the retention
of all her scattered and gigantic acquisitions.
Her enormous robberies from
the Khan of TAR-
TARY, almost entirely embracing the whole of
the Aral Sea, extending
northwards to Orenburg,
not far from the base of the Outal Mountains—
eastwards to the extremity of the Steppes of
Ghirghiz, and westwards to the Caspian, of all the
seas of Europe the true Mediterranean. Con_
you would at once in like
quer the CZAR, and
manner loosen the grasp of his robber-despotism
on his acquisitions from Turkey—stretching
downwards to a point not far removed from the
Persian capital of Teheran, and upwards to a spot
on the frontiers of Austria not exceedingly distant
from the chain of the Carpathian Mountains. A
disaster to Russia might, moreover, in a similar
manner, lead to the restoration to the Swedish
monarchy of the vast and valuable possessions
giving their owner the command of the Baltic,
and embracing, besides Lake Ladoga, the gulfs of
Riga and Finland. "Destroy the prestige of the
giant tyranny of the AUTOCRAT, and you affect
at once, and in a remarkable and instantly appre-
ciable way, the policy of the Shah of PERSIA,
and overthrow for once and for ever the evil in-
fluence long exercised at Athens by the irrespon-
sible head of the St. Petersburg Government.

And—besides all this--there is Poland !

Let England and France (as they " can,"
whenever they so please,) effectually vanquish the

fleets and armies of Russia, and the restoration
of Poland to her old position as one of the king-
doms of the earth no longer remains an impossi-
bility.
It is a wonderful consideration. And in it
may at once be rec ognised the meaning of these
long delays on the part of Austria and Prussia in
regard to the choice of friends among the
belligerents. " Poland" is the key to the
mystery of German hesitation. Austria and
Prussia know well enough that so far as the
partition of Poland is concerned, their destinies
are interwoven with those of Russia. They are
if only on the principle of
loath, consequently,
" Honour amongst Thieves," if only in obedience
to the dictates of selfish interest, they are loath
at heart to adopt a course which would drive them
to the ultimate necessity of an open declaration of
war against the Northern AUTOCRAT. Neverthe-
less, while they dread this as a result especially
to be avoided, they have other fears tending
in quite opposite directions. They have a
wholesome disinclination to draw down upon
themselves the united hostility of France
and England. Prussia dreads the possibility
of losing the Rhenish Provinces. Austria feels,
moreover, that now, and perhaps never again,
she may, by a bold movement, rid herself of the
overshadowing and crushing patronage heretofore
vouchsafed to her by the dread chief of the St.
Petersburg Government. Meanwhile, too, Aus-
tria and Prussia continue secretly jealous of each
other, each fearing lest its rival, by some happy
accident of fortune, may secure to itself a domi-
nant influence over the Germanic Confederation.
But apart from all these reasons, through all and
above all, there is Poland. There is the possi-
bility of its restoration. There is the chance
that out of the conflagration of the Euro-
pean war IT might come forth anew—the
Phoenix of Kingdoms. Would it be so
dread an evil ? Is it nothing more than an idle
day-dream ? This restoration of Poland ! GOD
knows. Happily, by some beneficent arrangement
of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, the hoirors of the war
may only be a tardy retribution for an old and
stupendous, but not altogether irreparable, crime.
The half-prophecy of CAMPBELL may be fulfilled.
The glorious manes of KosorcrsKo may be appeased.
The heroic shade of SOBIESKI may be solaced by
the reviving glory of his descendants. Europe
may yet witr.ess the realisation of the beautiful
day-dream cherished alike in victory and defeat,
cherished as confidently in his place of exile as in
his fatherland, by the venerable and veteran
Prince ADAM GEORGE CZARTORTSKI.

During the many discussions on the state
of the national finances, and the ways and
means by which the Exchequer should be re-
plenished, in order to meet the extra war expen-
diture, one question of the utmost importance
appears to have been cautiously avoided by all
parties. Her MAJESTY'S Opposition have appeared
to be quite as unwilling to grapple with the sub-
ject as her MAJESTY'S Ministers. The public
journals of all shades and varieties of political
opinion have exhibited similar abstinence, and,
with few exceptions, the interesting topic has
been completely tabooed. The country heard quite
enough as to the "conversion abortion" of last
Session, and the consequent reduction of the Ex-
chequer balances, but nothing was said as to the
legitimate and proper mode of replacing those
balances, and placing the country so far as
practicable in the same financial position
that it had previously been. Some were desirous
of preventing any addition to the funded debt—
of casting the entire expense of the contest in
which we are now engaged on the present gene-
ration—while others were equally decided in
thinking that, inasmuch as the war has been
chiefly undertaken for the benefit of posterity,
and in order to prevent a very dangerous increase
of strength to a Power already too formidable for
the general welfare, a great portion of the burden
should be cast upon our descendants. One
earnestly deprecated anything in the shape of a
loan, while the others demanded a large funding
operation, as a simple act of justice to the over-
burdened tax-payers. Neither, however, sug-
gested what would apparently be the simple
and natural course of disposing of the
funds offered to the dissentient South Sea proprie-
tors as equivalents for the stocks which were sub-
sequently paid off in money. And yet what could
be more equitable, what could be more judicious
than applying the value thereof to the public
service in place of the sums abstracted therefrom ?
The question of loan or no loan, of bearing the
expenses of the war ourselves, or leaving them as
legacies to our children, would then be placed en
a just foundation, and could be fully and fairly
debated. As it is, however, a preliminary point
arises that should be disposed of before the other
matters are properly at issue.
When Mr. GLADSTONE brought forward his
conversion scheme, he never for a moment con-
templated the probability of his propositions being
rejected by any large proportion of the fund-
holders. He anticipated the assent not only of
the proprietors of the South Sea and other stocks,
which he undertook to pay off at par, but of a
large proportion of the owners of Three per Cent.
Consols. His operation was, in fact, aimed not
L merely at the 10,000,0001. more particularly
indicated, but at the 500,000,0001. remaining in
the background. And fortunate was it for the
nation that the Right Hon. Gentleman, in the
plenitude of his confidence, did not serve the
' twelve months required by law on all the parties
to whom an option was afforded, in which case the
loss might have been not one, but fifty millions
sterling. Mr. GLADSTONE, however, considered
it certain that some of his proposals would have
been accepted, and the 2i- per Cent. Stock, of which
1101. was to be given for each 1001., for some time
appeared in considerable favour; so much so indeed
that he deemed it expedient to limit the amount
thereof that could be taken to thirty, or rather

thirty-three, millions of Stock. Had ho for a
moment contemplated paying off ten or even five
millions, he would have met with the most
strenuous and decided opposition, an opposition
that would have nipped his auspicious project in
the bud. But he aimed at " conversion," not

" liquidation," and his boast that he would, if
necessary, pay off the dissentients out of the Ex-
chequer balances was regarded as a mere " figure
of speech," of which it was unnecessary to take
serious notice. His project was adopted on the
understanding that the new Stock or Bonds
were to be issued iu place of that about
to be cancelled ; and any deviation from
that understanding might subject the Right Hon.
Gentleman to a charge of bad faith to the com-
munity.
The liquidation of any considerable portion of
the public debt would be a matter of too much
consequence to be disposed of by a side-wind.
Various enactments had from time to time been
passed for regulating the management thereof.
A. body of commissioners had been appointed for
the especial purpose of effecting reductions there-
in, to whom a certain proposition—one quarter
of the surplus each financial period—was to be
handed over. Justice to the public creditor, as

unfortunately failed. Eight mil-
lions were required to satisfy the demands of the
dissentients ; but towards making up the amount
there would have been either eight millions of
Exchequer Bonds or eight millions eight hundred
thousand pounds in Two-and-a-Half per Cent.
Stock. One or the other should have been sold, and
by that means not more than a million would have
been required lo defray the loss on the operation.
It appears to us, then, that we cannot be accused

of placing any improper burdens on posterity
if we require matters to be replaced in the stivt/is
in quo, and that we would not be increasing Lhe
funded debt by disposing of the funds which were
deemed equivalents for, and were intended to re-
place, those which were paid off in January and
April of the present year.

However much personality may with reason be
deprecated within the walls of the Legislature, it
must be acknowledged to impart at times a de-
lightful and refreshing savour to the debates in
Parliament. It is the salt of discussion.
Or a seasoning it may be called, a season-
ing, sometimes hot, sometimes pungent, some-
times bitter enough in all conscience, but ever
agreeable, ever invigorating, and, so to speak,
ever to the jaded taste, or exhausted pallate
of the public—appetising. Witness the colli-
sion of opinions last evening in the House of Com-
mons—when the chiefs of the opposing parties, the
Leader of the Treasury side and the Leader of the
Opposition—accompanied each by men of mark
and metal, contended on the floor of the Senate,
as the Knights of old were wont to do within
the lists of the Tournament. Mr. SPEAKER
as the Umpire, and the SERGEANT-AT-AR3IS as
the Poursuivant. There were no covert thrusts
made under a mask, as it were, by innuendo—but
swinging blows dealt each at the other's reputation.
Occasionally, among the clash of burlier
implements of intellectual combat, there
was visible the gleam of that rather
startling rhetorical weapon, wittily compared
by SYDNEY SMITH to a sword-stick—irony—
a weapon at first sight apparently very innocent,
but out of which suddenly leaps forth something
keen, deadly, and incisive. Of this delicate
but formidable weapon, Mr. DISRAELI and Lord
JOHN RUSSELL are each masters—SALA DINS
in their way—the one severing at a glance
the downy pillow of place, or the other the
gauzy folds of some taunting argument. As
debaters not only the Leaders but some also
of their more conspicuous followers showed last
evening conspicuously their skill iu fence, and
one or two among them really consummate dex-
terity. Not a few at the close of the contest were
evidently smarting under the wounds received
during the• sharpest moments of the encounter ;
but the public generally, harmless lookers-on,
have the privilege all the while of enjoying the
spectacle of these brilliant and notable jousts—,
wholly scatheless themselves.
