THE DANUBE.

It appears, notwithstanding the confidence with
which the taking of Silistria is announced from
Vienna, that the fact is greatly doubted at Paris.
Silistria is a place of great importance to the
Turks. It is on the right bank of the Danube,
and is so strongly fortified that in 1828 it
resisted the Russians, who besieged it for a long
time ; and in 1829, although it ultimately fell
into the hands of the Czar, it was only after a
close siege, which was protracted to 9 months. It
is therefore improbable that the fall of a place of so
much importance, apparently without a struggle,
should be confirmed. Should it be confirmed,
there cannot be a doubt that the blow will be the
heaviest which has yet fallen upon Turkey, as it
would enable the Russian general to turn Brailow,
Matschin, Isatchka, Toulcha, and all the other forts
which protect the Lower Danube. The Dehats,
while doubting the correctnessof the news, •443's
that if the Russians have really passed the Danube,
their doing so will be another breach of faith to-
wards the Western Powers, as flagrant as 'the de-

struction of the Turkish squadron at Silaope ; sinc
it was quite understood between Russia and th
Allied Powers that the Russian troops should no
attempt any aggressive measures for the present
The Debats adds that if the passage of the Danube
should be confirmed, it may be considered as a
reprisal on the part of Russia for the entry of the
English and French fleets into the Black Sea.
The following information reached Vienna on the
20th :—" On the 13th the Russians crossed the
river at Matschin in great force. Desperate battle.
Terrible cannonade, attended with fearful loss of
life. Matschin in flames. When the courier left
at one o'clock the battle continued. A confiden-
tial letter has arrived from St. Petersburg to
Baron Meyendorff, telling him no longer to in
dulge in illusions, as the Emperor Nicholas will
reject the Note, because the Czar will only treat
with Turkey ; but to prove that he is still in-
clined to negotiate, he has appointed Prince
Gortzchakoff his Plenipotentiary. It would,
however, be a work of supererogation if the Porte
fancied that less than Prince Menschikoff's de-
mands would be accepted.
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Con-
stantinople of the sth, which says :—" General
Baraguay d'Hilliers is making every preparation
for the accommodation and support of an expedi-
tionary corps of 40,000 men to be sent to the East,
should the Russians cross the Danube. He sent
for the richest contractors, mostly Armenians, to
learn from them what stores would be required
for 40,000 men and 10,000 horses during a period
of three months. The contracts in contemplation
for the purpose are not to be signed until approved
of by the French Government."

LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1854.

It is earnestly to be hoped that the great Whig
Quarterly has not in vain addressed its energies
—through an elaborate treatise in the number
just published—to the elucidation of the mani-
fold troubles, anxieties, and difficulties connected
with the important subject of the machinery of
Legislation. The reviewer, to whose sagacity the
public at large is indebted for this really masterly
paper in the current number of the Edinburgh,
has manifestly written not without serious and
protracted premeditation. He has selected the
fittest period in the whole year for the issuing of
his argument, namely, the eve of a new and im-
portant session of the Legislature. He has mi-
nutely and convincingly proved his case, before
throwing out his exceedingly moderate sug-
gestions of improvement. He has explained
the magnitude and variety of the obstacles
at present littered over the pathway of
legislation obstacles, some of them of enor-
taous magnitude, and some too of a mar-
vellously extended duration. Those whose avo-
cations, unlike those of the journalist, have not I
caused them to become famaliarised with the
process of legislation under ordinary circum-
stances, may obtain a ready insight into that in-
tricate maze of formalities, built up on a venerable
foundation of precedents and prerogatives, by
carefully examining the statements here put for-
ward, with more than its accustomed vigour and
lucidity, by our skilled Northern contemporary.
After a perusal of this remarkable contribution
to the pages of the Edinburgh, it will be per_
ceived, even by those least familiar with the
matter under consideration, with how much
reason complaints are beginning to be raised,
both loud and deep, against the fanatical
respect displayed within the walls of the
House of Commons, especially with regard
to conserving, at all cost, everything, large
or small, trivial or important, supposed to be
connected in the remotest degree with the frame-
work of our ancient and eminently composite con-
stitution. It will then be sufficiently apparent
that the popular branch of the Legislature has, in
truth, found a "faithful monitor" in Mr. BRO-
MERTON. It will be perceived, also, with how
great cause it was remarked, during the course of
the last session, by Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, " We
have outgrown our forms," when the Right Hon.
Baronet was incidentally pointing this very moral
to the torpid edification of his brother representa-
tives. A chamber that, within the limits of a
single session, from the 4th of November, 1852,
to the 20th of August, 1853, could sit for 160
clays for the despatch of business, consuming no
less than 1,193 hours 14 minutes in its delibera.
V-013s, 1331 of which hours were after midnight,
must, indeed, be allowed to have its energies some-
what extravagantly overtaxed. Remembering,
moreover (by way of illustrating the repug-
nance of the House of Commons to anything

(From the Morning Post.)

Miss Cushman made her re-appearance last night at
the above theatre, after an absence of some years, as
Bianca, in the tragedy of Fazio. She displayed all that
power and passion which first rendered her perform-
ances popular with the ondon public ; and the applause
which greeted her on first coming upon the stage, and
was continued to her on every possible occasion thrrugh-
out the drama, sufficiently proved that time has not
lessened the admiration which her rare histronic abilities
formerly excited in this country.

( From the Morning Advertiser.)

The performances at this theatre last night underwent
a considerable change, Dean Milman's violent tragedy of
Fazio being substituted for the lively Hope of the Family.
The cause of this alteration was the reappearance of
Miss Cushman, after a lengthened absence in America.
This lady is possessed of some of the highest qualities of
her art, and has a delicacy of judgment and fervour of
feeling that enable her to give interest to the heaviest
conceptions. Miss Cushman is a very fine actress, and her
delicacy and intensity carry her delineations into the high-
est region of art. Whenever there was an opportunity,
given, last night it was made the most of. Her ap-
prehension of the consequences of her terrible jealousy,
where she sees it may produce the intense hatred of the
very object it adores, was grandly given, and where her
returning tenderness abhors the idea, was charmingly
rendered. The conflict of her emotions when her hus-
band relapses.into his adulterous love for the magni-
ficent and high-born courtezan, was also admirable.
The maddened denouncement of her husband has fine
touches in it, and her remorse when she perceives the
fatal results it produces, and her anguish and horror at
his death were simply and grandly expressed. Her at-
titudes were easy and graceful, and her abandonment to
the fearful emotions that so rapidly possess her showed
her truly the mistress of her art. In the last scene,
which is so violently anii-conventional, and so perilously
constructed as to be in marvellous danger of sinking to
bathos, she sustained the truth of passion by her sub-
dued and truthful expression. We cannot but regret
this lumbering, turgid play, should have been revived,
and that so much genius as Miss Cushman really pos-
sesses, should have been thrown away upon it. The
applause was not great at the commencement, but the
house warmed as the scenes proceeded, and it became
general and enthusiastic at the close, and Miss Cush-
man was called for long before she re-appeared, and
when she did so she was cordially and universally
cheered.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

From Constantinople, Jan. 9, we learn that the
Anglo-French fleet had been met by the steamer
from Trebizond, steering with a fair wind and
splendid weather for Batoum, where it would ar-
rive the day after.
The most complete harmony reigned in the Ot-
toman Cabinet.

Before leaving the Bosphorus, the British and.
French admirals and senior captains held a confer-
ence, in which they made all preliminary arrange-
ments, in the event of their coming into action
with a Russian force. Sinope is named as the
rallying point.
This is the first time that a French or British
naval force has entered the Euxine. Its effects
will be very important. The news of the presence
of these fleets in the Black Sea will spread through
Georgia and Circassia, and cause an immense sen-
sation amongst all the populations inhabiting the
Asiatic borders of that sea. The Caucasian tribes
and the Georgians may, in all probability, grasp
their arms, and make an attempt to shake off the
Russian yoke. Had the entry of the fleets taken
place two months earlier, this effect would un-
doubtedly have been produced. The winter, which
has now set in, will impede the spread of any in-
surrectionary movement, and the Russians will
hold their ground in the Principalities.
Detachments of recruits, says a letter of the 9th,
arrive every day at Constantinople, and the pre-
parations of the Government to carry on the war
with vigour are incessant. The Pacha of Egypt
has recently sent troops to man four batteries of
artillery, of which one will be horse artillery. He
has also sent 25,000 muskets ; and he holds an ad-
ditional corps of 12,000 men in readiness, to be sent
the moment the Turkish Government chooses to
call for it. Yesterday the Seraskier inspected the
first battalion of Cossacks. They will commence
their march on Schumla on Wednesday next, and
from thence they will proceed to Dobrodjie, a place
colonised by the Cossacks. Their commander,
Sadik Pacha, is a Pole. He goes with them, and
is to organise 30 squadrons of Cossack cavalry.
In his suite is the Roumelian Prince Stourza,
who has recently been nominated as a Pacha.
He is for the present to remain at Schumla, as
hitherto the efforts to call out the Roumelians
has not been very successful. General Wysocki,
with his two aides-de-camp, Bielenski and Ruszki,
have arrived at Constantinople. The Polish legion
is still postponed, and the decision of the Porte
will depend on the answer of the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg to the collective proposition.

LEEDS—MARcu 14.

There have been very m Aerate arrivals of wheat, and
the supplies are reported as falling off in the agricultural
markets. Nevertheless the trade here rules extremely
heavy, and it is difficult to effect sales at current rates.
We quote prices 2s per qr. lower than on Friday, without
leading to any extent of business. Barley, beans, and
oats all tend downwards, with a very limited demand.
Other articles as before.

NEWCASTLE—MARCH 14.
The wheat trade was very quiet at a decline since this
day week of 2s to 3s per qr. Barley is lower. No change
in other articles.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

Mr. W. S. Lindsay, the shipowner, says in a letter
addressed to and published in the Times to-day :—The
first division of the Baltic fleet has sailed. The sight
was grand, and, as our good Queen, in her Fairy yacht
led forth her magnificent fleet, she never assumed a
position more becoming the Sovereign of a great mari-
time nation, lam a cool man of business, and as such
I look upon war as a dire necessity—a horrible thing.
But there was a something which made me feel that that
fleet was departing on a just and righteous cause. I
felt that every effort had been made to maintain peace
—that we were at last driven to the fearful resort o:
bringing about a more sure and lasting peace by force
of arms—and I wished it God speed. I saw, at last,
that any other course would only have delayed the evil
hour, and made its consequences still more dreadful when
it came.
The main cause, however, which made me spend a few
hours this morning in a cutter cruising among the ships
at Spithead was to see and judge for myself, as far as I
could, in regard to the efficiency of the fleet about to
sail for the Baltic. This was natural enough, as I
have so long taken a deep interest in maritime mat-
ters. But I had, perhaps, another reason. The Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer has doubled the income tax, and
men of business like to examine what they are getting
for their money. I know a little about the machinery
of the Admiralty, and, front the unwearied exertions of
the practical mainspring there, aided by the great poli-
tical knowledge and energy of the First Lord, I expected
to find something superior to anything I had ever seen
before. I was not disappointed. The ships fully sus-
tain the character we have long held for maritime supre-
macy ; there was about them no display—nothing un-
necessary—but there was a silent majesty of strength
which spoke volumes. We have improved to a most
surprising extent in our merchant vessels during the last
thirty years, but I certainly was not prepared to find an
improvement nearly as great in our men-of-war. I did so.
Those who have only inspected a line-of-battle ship of Nel-
son's day will form a very imperfect idea of the Duke of
Wellington by any comparison they may make in their
own minds ; they must see her before they can under-
stand the real strength of Napier's flag-ship. She is,
indeed, a magnificent specimen of naval architecture—
a thorough peace-maker ; for one broadside of her
tremendous artillery must tend materially to create
silence. Everything seemed in its place, ready for
action. As a whole, the fleet surpassed my
expectations. Great credit is due to the Admiralty, and
the thanks of the country are due in an especial manner
to Captain Milne for lila untiring zeal and indefatigable

EXPIRING LAWS.
Mr. G. BERKELEY moved for a select committee
to inquire what temporary laws of a public az,d general
nature are now in force, and what laws of the like nature
have expired since the last report upon the subject ; and
also, what laws of the like nature are about to expire
at particular periods, or in consequence of any con-
tingent public event ; and to report the same,
with their observations thereupon, to the house :—Mr.
Wilson, Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Attorney-General, Mr.
Solicitor-General, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Freshfield, Mr.
Hume, Sir J. Young, Mr. Fitzroy, Mr. Hayter, Mr.
Peel, and Mr. Cardwell :—Power to send for persons,
papers, and records. Three to be the quorum.
Agreed to.
The other orders were then disposed of, and the house
adjourned at a quarter-past three o'clock.
London, England, 1854-03-16

try, particularly at the commencement of the season for
entering on fresh operations, feel the greatest anxiety
to know to what a point the Government of his Ma-
jefe y remains in that good accord with the Cabinets
of Vienna, London, and Paris, of which the note of the
conference of Vienna is an evident proof. It appears
that the Government of his Majesty must not less than
the country itself have at heart not to allow any doubt
to exist on its policy at a moment when it may perhaps
be compelled to make an urgent appeal to the energy
and devotedness of the nation. Confidence alone can
produce and maintain confidence, and a candid explana-
tion given to the representatives of the country will
give to the Government the possibility of securing their
support, and resisting an egotistical party, who wishes
to set itself up as the expression of the national will.
The undersigne<?, therefore, venture to inquire of the
Government of his Majesty what explanations it would
be disposed to give as to the attitude which it will
assume in the war which is in preparation."

The egotistical party to whic;ll Count de Schwerin
alludes consists, says the ( ologne Gazette, of forty
clodhoppers, who, in an address, offered the King
their blood or their treasure if ho would march
tui the side of Russia.

It appears from the Cologne Gazette that the
Russians have passed the Danube between Braila
and Galatz ; but no confirmation of the fact has
been received here, and great doubts are enter-
tained respecting it.
The Russian Government is said to be making at
this moment extraordinary levies of seamen. A
recent ukase obliges all the sons of free sailors that
are employed in the merchant navy to serve 15
years in the Imperial navy, from the date of said
ukase. Boys 15 old are to enter the service im-
mediately, and those only eight years of age are to
be placed at the disposal of the Governor-General
'of Cronstadt, who is to send them to nautical
schools lately established.
A letter from Jassy of the 24th ult., says :
" The hordes of volunteers are committing dread-
ful excesses in this neighbourhood. If the pagans
acted in such a manner it might be comprehended.
But the defenders of the Cross do things from which
an unbeliever would recoil. In going to Gayeschti,
they ill-treated the wife of a Boyard to such a de-
gree that she died shortly after."
According to a letter from Posen, the 7th and
Bth corps d'armee have received orders to call out
their reserves, in case concentrations of troops
should take place on the Rhine and on the eastern
frontier. The sth corps d'armee has received simi-
lar orders, in the case that hostile movements
should burst out in the province. The fortresses
of the Baltic are perfectly armed and provisioned."
The Wurtemburg Moniteur states that a new
corps of the Austrian army, 30,000 strong, is to be
shortly placed under General Schlick. It was ru-
moured also, it mentions, that there was some idea
of placing on a war footing 50 batteries. The
Journal de Frankfort cons ders this last piece of
news to be premature.

There have been very m Berate arrivals of wheat, and
the supplies are reported as falling off in the agricultural
markets. Nevertheless the trade here rules extremely
heavy, and it is difficult to effect sales at current rates.
We quote prices 2s per qr. low,r than on Friday, without
leading to any extent of business. Barley, beans, and
oats all tend downwards, with a very limited demand.
Other articles as before.
