LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1853.

It is earnestly to be hoped that Lord ABERDEEN
may at length be satisfied—satisfied, we mean, in
paltering with the honour of England so far as to
concede both leisure and opportunity to the arro-
gant ambition of the Russian Government. Con-
sistent to this extent in upholding his ancient
policy, the Noble Earl has hitherto contrived to
delay, by every imaginable subterfuge, the repa-
ration which must inevitably be made by the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh for the extraordinary
and warlike measures adopted by it against the
unaggressive councils at Constantinople. Infected
by the timidity of the " dear " and " excellent "
Under-Secretary of M. GUIZOT, the British Min-
istryhasbeen all this while parleying with the repre-
sentatives of the CZAR, when energetic efforts ought
to have been made atthe cannon's mouth and at the
sword's point, to vindicate the outraged rights of
Turkey, the insulted laws of Europe, the inde-
pendence of nations, the force of treaties, the
pride, the glory, and the dignity of entire Chris-
tendom. Every one by this time can perceive the
consequences. Every one can at last behold how
far the reluctant and hesitating course pursued by
the Coalition has enabled the AUTOCRAT to proceed
without encountering any serious or 'resolute ob-
struction. Hitherto, in fact, up to this very mo-
ment, the winning game has been in the hands of
the Russian EMPEROR. Hitherto he has advanced
steadily towards the accomplishment of his law-
less enterprise—whether by the diplomatic me-
dium of MENSCHIKOFF, or by the Ministerial in-
terposition of NESSELRODE, or by the march of the
northern troops across the Pruth and the occupa-
tion of the Danubian Principalities. Every-
where throughout these transactions it has
been impossible to close our eyes against the fact
that the practical advantages have always been
secured to the CZAR—and this exclusively because
of the timorous influence exercised by Lord ABER-
DEEN over the councils of the Coalition Government.
It is this sinister and most lamentable influence which
has palsied the arm of JOHN BULL, as "some undone
widow" did that of Sir GILES OVERREACH. It is
this which, at a juncture of vast importance, has
glued the sword of England to the scabbard more
effectually than the " orphan's tears" celebrated in
the drama of MASSINGER. Whether Lord ABER-
DEEN, by thus interposing his weakness between
the Russian outrage and its inevitable expiation,
has deteriorated the character, sullied the honour,
or tarnished the reputation of that great coun-
try, the conduct of whose affairs was, un-
happily, Some time since, entrusted to him,
by his Sovereign —must already, we fear, be re-
garded as) a fact altogether too lamentably ap-
parent. Had Lord PALMERSTON, on the con-
trary, been acting
at this period as Prime
Minister, or simply in his former capacity as
Foreign Secretary, there is scarcely an intelligent
man amongst us but must feel perfectly conscious
that the result of our negotiations
must, per-
force, by this time been wholly different in cha-
racter. France would not then have been
matters
re-
tarded in her generous anxiety to bring
at once (and chivalrously, as became so
powerful
an ally of Turkey) to a conclusion. Admiral
DUNDAS would never have been instructed to
loiter irresolutely at Malta, while Admiral LA
SUSSE was vigorously pushing on to the vicinity
of the Dardanelles. If any demonstration
were requisite in order to convince us that Eng-
land, under the guidance of Lord ABERDEEN, has
held back, while France has been eager to push
onwards to a speedy and desirable settlement of
these Turkish difficulties, that demonstration
might easily be given from first to last, by a
cursory and even superficial glance at the pro-
gress made by both countries in the management
of the still-pending negotiations. Why, Jet us
simply ask—What is the principal security pos-
sessed at this moment by the people of England,
that their rulers are acting towards Turkey in this
emergency in a manner becoming the British
Government ? What, let us ask, is this chief
security ? Why the reiterated declaration
made by her MAJESTY'S Ministers in both
Houses, that they are acting in this matter
in perfect accord with the Cabinet of the
Tuileries ! Upon that solemn and reiterated
assurance, we repeat, mainly rests up to the
present hour whatever confidence the English
people have that the Coalition presided over by
Lord ABERDEEN is not playing false with the I
Turkish and truckling to. the Russian Govern_A
ment. A melancholy consideration ! That we
hould count principally upon the integrity of the

policy of our own Cabinet, by our knowledge of
the manlier and the more honourably avowed
course pursued by that of our neighbours. It
was not thus in the days of CANNING, or, yet later,
when the seals of the Foreign-office were held in
the grasp of PALMERSTON. Deplorable as the
fact may be—it is so nevertheless. Throughout
the whole of these diplomatic negotiations we
have played towards France the part played
towards Mr. BuExE by his provincial colleagues.
France has declared her sentiments in reference
to the treatment of Turkey by the Russian AUTO-
CRAT with dignified resolution, and all that Eng-
land, under the guidance of Lord ABERDEEN, has
yet allowed herself to do, has been to say " ditto"
to the neighbouring Government. The Emperor
NAPOLEON has more than once boldly intimated
his determination to consent to no inadequate or
dishonourable compromise with the councils of
St. Petersburgh. His MAJESTY'S Minister for
Foreign Affairs, M. DROUYN DE L'HuYs, has an-
swered the haughty and pragmatical circular note of
NESSELRODE, in language eminently well befitting
the dignity of a powerful and independent nation
—foremost among the western races of the
European Continent. Whereas, with our rulers,
it has been in every way different. Instead of
boldly " coming to the point," they have stood
doggedly
upon all sorts of petty little diplo-
matic
punctilios. They have veiled all their pro-
ceedings mystery, and evaded even a few
explanatory syllables by systematic prevarication.
While the official organ of the French Govern-
ment, the Moniteur, and still more the ex-official
organ of the Tuileries the Pays, were courage-
ously and consistently affording the popular mind
assurance that the policy of the EMPEROR and his
Ministers would be a calm but resolute vindica-
tion of the independence of Turkey, and
of the rights of Europe, and of the hon-
our of France and of Christendom—the official
and unofficial organs of the Cabinet in Downing-
street were wavering between a panegyric on the
policy of the CZAR and a reluctant expression of
regret that too hasty measures had been adopted
by his Government. The truth of this statement
may be readily verified by ieference to the last
quarter's file of the Times newspaper. All that
has hitherto been extorted from the leading mem-
bers of the Coalition Cabinet amounts, we repeat,
to the one iterated avowal that they are acting in
perfect accord with the councils of the French
Government. And thus obscurely, hesitatingly,
and timorously have matters been conducted, up
to this moment, by our Administrators—thanks
to the souvenirs of a worn-out policy still clinging,
like burrs, to the mind of that " dear" and " ex-
cellent" ABERDEEN. It has so happened, con-
sequently, that we have hung like a clog up to
this hour upon the skilful and resolute arm of
French diplomacy. It has so happened, more-
over, that the CZAR has pressed forward with
daring and unflinching pertinacity, under cover
of a grand and golden opportunity. Until,
not merely have his soldiers crossed the Pruth
and taken violent possession of the Danubian
Principalities, but the political agents of his Ab-
solutism in Moldavia have forbidden Prince GHIKA,
the Hospodar of that province, to send further
tribute as of yore to his liege Suzerain at Constan-

tinople.
Startled, it would seem, into a tardy recogni-
tion of the folly of previous concessions and pro-
crastination, the Earl of CLARENDON, last evening,
avowed in the Upper House, that the Cabinet
has at length been driven to the necessity of
forwarding instructions to the British Ambassador
at St.Petersburgh, to demand explanations forth-
with from the Government of the AUTOCRAT.
Lookingback over the sad perspective of these mon-
strous events, and of these most dilatory negotia-
tions, and remembering that the noble lord the
member for Tiverton is at this critical time iu the
Home Office, instead of at the head of the Foreign
Department, we may with reason exclaim from our
heart of hearts, " 0 for one hour"—not "of
blind, old DANDoLo," but—of PALMERSTON!

The attempt to render railway directors and
railway officials criminally responsible for every
unfortunate accident that happened on the lines
with which they chanced to be connected, has
received a heavy blow and great discouragement.
The Lord Chief Baron in a forcible address to
the jury, on the trial of the Honourable FRANCIS
SCOTT, the Chairman, and Mr. BEATTIE, the
Superintendent of locomotives on the South-
Western Railway, clearly and unequivocally ex-
posed the folly and absurdity of the course re-
commended by some journalists, who have at all
times exhibited a rancorous and unreasoning hos-
tility against all persons connected with railways,
and adopted by coroners' juries whom self-suffi-
ciency rendered insensible to the well-merited
castigation, which they might subsequently re-
ceive from the judges presiding at the trials
which their ridiculous and unwarranted verdicts
had rendered necessary. If these sagacious and
intelligent personages had their way, it would be
vain to expect that any gentleman of indepen-
dent means, and respectable position in society,
could be induced to accept a seat at a railway
Beard, or to assume the onerous and responsible
duties of the situation. The magnificent iron net-
work with which our land is intersected, no longer
available for purposes of traffic or intercommuni-
cation, would remain gigantic monuments of the
criminal folly of those who, exhibiting gross in-
gratitude to men who ought to be looked on as
national benefactors, tried to convert the law into
an instrument of oppression, and summoned to
the bar of a criminal tribunal to answer au accu-
sation which, if well founded, would warrant their
perpetual banishment, gentlemen of character and
responsibility, against whom even the counsel for
the prosecution could not venture to prefer a charge
involving the slightest moral delinquency. With
such an example before our eyes, we should no
longer feel surprised at the conduct of the Turkish'
Cadi, who, in order to appease popular clamour,
should condemn to the bastinado, or even to
death, an ill-fated baker, because the price of
bread was something higher than " his majesty
the people" deemed expedient at the moment
—or of those who deliberately sacrificed the
unfortunate BYNG in the middle of the last cen-
tury, in order to direct into another channel the
censures which they had themselves most richly
merited.
The facts
of the case were very simple. The
defendants, With a laudable anxiety to improve the working of 'the important line with which they
were connected, and tn
facility to the traffic Of afford every possible
train,
the district, had, in May
last, taken a special

to u
Unfortunately, there was no
telegraphic com-
munication along the branch linho Alton which it
was particularly desirable to inspect. All the proper
signals were, however, exhibited at the station
and it was the duty of the deceased (a porter at
the intermediate station of Farnham) to have
taken notice of these signals, and to have avoided
any danger that might be occasioned by the ap_
proach of the special train. Through his own
carelessness and neglect the melancholy accident
occurred. He disregarded the signals to which
kino
he should have attended ; and mista 0 the
special for the ordinary passenger train, reck-
lessly rushed to meet it, and thus met his lament-
able fate. It was, however, attempted to be
.
argued that the persons engaging the train should
• be held criminally responsible for the accident
ywhich was really occasioned by the reck-
lessness and disobedience of the sufferer. And the
Coroner's Jury, emulous of tllic fame achieved by

their intelligent brethren, Who found a verdict of
" wilful murder" against Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on
account of the death from destitution of an old
woman in the county Mayo, and apparently desir-
ous of being thenceforward, and for ever, classed
in the same category with these model jurors,
arrived at the decision that the Hon. F. SCOTT
and Mr. BEAT were guilty of the manslaughter
of e
p theo r e u n
hl7)u ptpyf man, whose fate they earnestly
d, or which they were in no degree
deplored,
l
accountable. The result was, that these gentle-
men were held to bail, to appear and answer the
the Surrey Assizes, and they were
arraigned at Croydon, on the
charge
yesterday
Coroner's inquisition, before the Lord Chief
Baron and a Coroner's Jury, and that they
were acquitted as a matter of course, the learned
Judge having, before a single particle of evidence
was offered, on the mere statement of the counsel
for the prosecution, expressly stated his opinion
that " a railway chairman or director, who en-
gaged a special train, was in exactly the same po-
sition as an ordinary traveller, and he might rea-
sonably suppose that all that was necessary to be
done would be done by the persons in the employ
of the railway upon whom that duty devolved ;
and he would not be responsible unless he had
done some personal act, or given some di-
rections, that led to the accident." On this
statement, and also the judicial announce-
ment that " the mere fact of the defendants
being the occupants of a special train did not
make it incumbent on them to take care that all the
necessary arrangements were made at the different
stations through which they had to pass. He was
of opinion that no such duty was cast upon them ;
and that, whether in the case of a chairman or a
director of a company, or a manager of the traffic,
neither of them was responsible for what might
happen at any station over which they had no
personal control." This sound common sense, as
well as legal view of the transaction, of course,
terminated the proceedings; The experienced and
eminent counsel who conducted the prosecution
at once bowed to the decision of the Judge,
and offered no evidence iu support of the in-
dictment. The defendants were, of course, exone-
rated from all further liability. But who was to
repay them for the annoyance and vexation, loss
of time and heavy expenditure incurred by the
outrageous decision of the coroner's jury, through
whose conceited self-sufficiency and gross igno-
rance it occurred that these gentlemen had their
names exposed in the criminal calendars as cul-
prits, who " feloniously killed and slew" one of
their fellow-creatures, were compelled to appear,
at any personal inconvenience, at the general gaol
delivery for the county of Surrey, no matter how
urgent their other avocations might be, and to bear
the heavy expense of instructing a numerous staff
of counsel. The grand jury may chuckle at their
own impunity from the consequences of their mis-
taken verdict, but they may learn that such gross
ignorance as they have displayed is scarcely more
defensible than wilful malice, and that, although
not legally, they are morally responsible for th e
damages incurred through their most absurd and
most unjustifiable verdict.

MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—A marriage has been
arranged, and will shortly take place, between Mr.
Charles Arthur Aylmer and the Hon. Sophia Mackay,
daughter of Lord and Lady Reay.—Massey Lopes, Esq.,
eldest son of Sir Ralph Lopes, of Maristow, Bart., and
M.P. for South Devon, is about to lead to the hymeneal
altar the only daughter of the worthy baronet of Lupton,
Sir John Yarde Buller, the colleague of Sir Ralph Lopes
in the representation of the county.
ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Her Majesty the Queen and
his Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the perfor-
mances at the Royal Italian Opera with their presence
last evening. The Royal suite consisted of the Hon.
Miss Seymour, the Hon. Miss Paget, the Marquis of
Ormonde, Colonel Bouverie, and Captain the Hon.
Dudley De Ros. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess
of Cambridge and the Princess Mary also honoured the
performances with their presence. Their Royal High-
nesses were accompanied by the Hereditary Grand.
Duchess of Mecklenburgh-Strelitz, and attended by
Lady Suffield and Baron Knesebeck ; Lady Caroline
Cust was in attendance on the Hereditary Grand
Duchess. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
also honoured the theatre with his presence.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF SEA.FIELD.—We regret to
announce the demise of this nobleman, who expired on
Saturday last at Cullen House, the family seat in the
county of Banff. The deceased was born in 1778. The
earl is succeeded in the family honours and estates by
his eldest son, Viscount Reidhaven, who married in
1850, the Hon. Caroline Stuart, youngest daughter of
the late Lord Blantyre.

THE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUB.—We hear that
the members of this club are about to emulate the ex-
ample of the Army and Navy, and construct a new
club-house on the most extensive and splendid scale.
ASSESSED TAXES.—It appears from a return, moved
for by Mr. Pellatt, that the reduction, under the new
scale of duties, to the 20 highest contracts of composi-
tion, within the London district, effected under the pre-
vious act, will be considerable. In most instances the
new duties do not reach a third of the former charge.

THE HACKNEY CARRIAGE BILL.—Mr. Frewen has
given notice of his intention to move, on the third read-
ing, a clause making the fare between midnight and
half-past four in the morning half as much again as the
day fare. Mr. F. Scully will also propose a clause im-
posing a penalty, with liability of suspension of license,
on the proprietors, for withdrawing the carriage from
hire for two consecutive days, without just cause, or
without giving 10 days' notice to the commissioners.
FOREIGN EXCHANGES.—By advices from Hamburg
the price of gold is 425 per mark, which, at the English
Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gives
an exchange of 13.41 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg
on London at short being 13.4, it follows that gold is
0,41 per cent, dearer in Hamburgh than in London.
The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par (accord-
ing to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price
of Si. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25.15 ; and, the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25.02 i, it follows that gold is
about 0.58 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for
bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of
exchange between England and America being 109
23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nomin-
ally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after
making allowance for charges of transport, the present
rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from
the United States.

GOLD.—The Nelson has arrived from Port Philip,
whence she sailed on the 15th of April, with 25,000
ounces of gold, valued at 100,0001. The Golden Land,
which left on the Ist of the same month, brings 2,700
ounces. The Blorenge is also reported, but has, it is
stated, only 59 ounces. The total specie received from
New York, the West Indies, and Australia has been
upwards of 560,0001. Gold has continued to be re-
mitted to Paris up to the present moment, but the
Mint having extended their period for coinage to 54
days, it is now found to be a blank operation, which
covers its expenses, but leaves no profit.
PRESENTATION.—It is understood that the insurance
offices and underwriters interested in the ship Adelaide,
which was saved from destruction on her late voyage
from South Australia to London, have, after compensa-
ting the crew for their services, presented Captain Tre-
mearne with 1,0001. and a silver tea-service.
THE LATE FORGERY ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH WALES
BANK AT LIVERPOOL.—On Monday, at the Liverpool
sessions, Matthew Mudd and John Gore, alias Brown,
were charged with fraudulently obtaining the sum of
3001. from the North and South Wales Bank of that town.
It appeared that in July last a person named Simpson, who
had for several years been in Australia, where he bad
accumulated a considerable sum of money, and left that
country in the Lady Flora with 4401., which he in-
vested in a bill on the Australian Bank, and had cashed
on his return to England. Being about to get married,
he went to Liverpool, and stopped at the house of a
Captain Brown. Captain Brown shortly after proceeded
with a vessel to Messina, where Simpson accompanied
him, leaving 201. with a person named Eliza Richardson,
to whom he was to have been married, together with the
deposit receipt for 3001. The prisoner Gore, who was
in the habit of frequenting the house, got possession of
the deposit receipt book, and with the assistance of
Mudd, who stated to the clerks of the bank that he
knew Simpson, and that Gore was that person, got the
300/. out of the bank. They were both found guilty,
and the Recorder sentenced them—Gore to transporta-
tion for seven years, and Mudd, who was recommended
to mercy, to imprisonment, with hard labour, for nine
months, in addition to a fine of 1001. At the conclusion
of the trial the witness Simpson was taken into custody
by two of the London detectives, on a charge of being
one of the parties to the gold dust robbery on board the
Lady Flora, on her homeward passage. Simpson,
during his cross examination, admitted that he had
gambled a good deal during the passage, and had lost
money. He had, he stated, gambled with a passenger
named Grawcor, who had been convicted for stealing
some of the gold dust in question. It was the opinion
in the court, however, that the warrant was informal,
I and could not be acted upon.

MONEY MARKET

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE, THIS DA Y.
The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was
dull ; sales, 7,000 bales. Shares were lower.
The steamer Pacific, from New York, brings
very little specie-10,000 dollars and 4201. Stocks
on the 23d ult. remained much the same. Ex-
change on London 1081 to 1091. Flour was
scarcely maintained.
The Continental advices are of a more favourable
character as respects the harvest prospects.
For the estate of Mr. Thomas Attwood, a capi-
talist is stated to have offered 280,0001., and this
would leave a considerable surplus to Mr. Attwood.
The sum to be paid into court by Mr. Hudson,
in connection with the York and North Midland
suit, has been reduced from 54,0001. to 20,0001.
Bills of exchange were taken yesterday afternoon
at very firm rates. Paris, 90 days, brought 25 17i
to 25 25, Amsterdam 11 17/ to 18, Hamburgh
13 fit to 7, and Trieste 10 58 to 11.
The Honourable East India Company have ad-
vanced the rates for bills, on Bengal to 2s. Old.,
and on Madras to 2s. Ind. per rupee.
The Amalgamated East India Railway Company,
it was yesterday decided at the East India House,
shall receive a guarantee of 41 per cent. per annum
on a capital of eight millions sterling, of which
3,000,0001. will be furnished by the Upper India
Company, giving six of its shares for seven of the
East India Railway. This arrangement must be
regarded, under circumstances, as very satisfactory.
The advance generally made yesterday in the
rate allowed by the discount-houses for money upon
" call" to 21 per cent., must be considered the
natural consequence of the various complications
political and social that surround us. The fact that
we are importing largely of foreign grain, and that
we are sending ow gold to the Continent almost as
fast as it arrives, is sufficient to explain one phase
of the matter ; and the statements in Parliament
last evening will increase the apprehension of
war. It would be erroneous to infer, however,
that money is absolutely scarce. There is a full
supply generally, and the immediate cause of the
advanced charge is the extreme activity of various
branches of commerce, and notably the Australian
and American trades, and the large undertakings
into which we have entered abroad. The result of
all this must be to add considerably to our pro-
fits, and to turn the balance of trade more de-
cidedly in our favour. The discount houses
being so much under the Bank of England
terms, have adopted no extraordinary course, in
giving 2 per Cent., as they charge 31 for best
bills, and the number of these within the last few
days, sent up from Liverpool and other places, has
been greater than of late. Even the rise in the
value of most articles of consumption, and the ad-
vance in freights and wages, acts upon the demand
for money, more capital being required to carry
on business. There is scarcely any further margin
of profit upon the shipment of gold to Paris, now
the Mint requires 54 days to meet it, and the pro-
bability is, that less will be sent. The dearer
money becomes here, the less likely it is to be sent
abroad. _ _

The English Stock Market has been extremely
depressed, and large speculative sales have been
made. The answers last evening of Earl Clarendon
and Lord John Russell are not regarded as satis-
factory, and the advance in the value of money has
had an effect. Consols have been 974 toe for

The Gold Mine Shares have been at about previ-
ous rates.

The Australian Banks are cheaper, and also the
Land Companies.
