tion of that support which he so gratenally recognises. than by the sabre.
This is our belief, from a calm consideration of
the entire circumstances, and the opinion may be
entitled to the greater weight, as it is not alto-
gether in accordance with our wishes, or what we
believe would eventually prove best calculated to
preserve the tranquillity and promote the pros-
perity of Europe. The AUTOCRAT has got him-
self into a difficulty from which he may find it
extremely hard to extricate himself, without the
sacrifice of some portion of that power which has
already weighed down the scale and disturbed
the " balance" of which so much has been said
or written from time to time. His arrogance and
insolence is no longer tolerable to independent
nations, and should he escape with impunity
from the consequences of the " false move" into
which he has suffered his ambition and cupidity
to betray him, he will await a more favourable
opportunity for carrying out designs which may be
postponed, although not abandoned. Whatever
may be the nature of the lesson he is now to
receive, he will profit by it. If he suffer se-
verely he will be slow to'attempt a similar out-
break. His diminished power, or wounded
pride, will check any further demonstration
in which he may be tempted to indulge, and
render him less likely to demand " material
guarantees" at another time. But, if on the con-
trary, he gets out of the scrape with comparative
ease, if he be permitted to injure the finances and
reduce the resources of those whom he is desirous
of destroying without any proportionate loss to
himself, it will' operate as a perpetual stimulus
and incentive to further aggressions, so that war,
sooner or later, will be inevitable—a war, too,
on a much larger scale, and leading to more for-
midable results than any that could now take
place. A patched-up truce is not for the interest
of Turkey or of Europe, more especially of the
Western Powers. NICHOLAS has shown his fangs.
They should be extracted before he can use them
with greater force than, at present. The claws of the
Bear should be pared before he is released from
the trap into which he voluntarily and wantonly
entered, and that can only be effected after a de-
cisive campaign, and the equally decided inter-
ference of the combined fleets of England, France,
and Turkey. There can be no permanent peace
unless the opening of the Bosphorus and the
Danube be clearly provided for, and the untenable
-retensions of the CZAR be formally abandoned,

Nothing effectual has yet been done towards
ealing the unfortunate breach between the mas-
ters and workmen in the manufacturing districts.
On the contrary, a stronger and more determined
spirit is excited on either side—a feeling of per-
sonal animosity, natural enough under the cir-
cumstances, but not the less deeply to be re-
gretted, is also springing up, which must materi-
ally complicate matters, and add to the difficulties
of effecting a permanent and satisfactory arrange-
ment. The masters believe that their very exist-
ence depends on their unflinching firmness.
Should they now yield, they would henceforward
and for ever relinquish the control and manage-
ment of their own affairs to the idle and dissolute
scoundrels who prowl about public-houses, hunt-
ing out any matter, however trivial, which
may serve as a peg whereon to hang a griev-
ance, fomenting disputes between the em-
ployers and the employed, and interfering in
so arrogant and offensive a manner as to disgust
any one possessed of a manly spirit, and prevent
the amicable settlement of a difficulty susceptible
of, easy arrangement, but for the mischievous in-
termeddling of third parties. It would, in fact,
be tantamount to the establishment of a domestic
inquisition of the most vexatious description, the
nominal owner having totally and unequivocally
surrendered his free will into the hands of pot-
house legislators, who would not permit him to
take on or discharge a single hand, or effect a
single alteration in the manner of his business,
without their consent being first had and obtained
—aye, and handsomely paid for. None will sub-
mit to such insolent dictation, such unparalleled
tyranny. Any sacrifice, even that of the capital
embarked in their respective concerns, would be
preferable. They find that single, they are help-
less—that they can be readily defeated in detail.
The working hands contributing a proportion of
their wages to support the turn-outs, who, when
they had succeeded in defeating their immediate
employers, returned the compliment by support-
ing others during their " strike," which followed
as a matter of course. The masters were not
quite so silly as to permit this game to be played
any longer at their expense. The combination
of the men could only be met by a similar combi-
nation of the employers. They could understand
the application of the adage, that " union is
strength," just as well as the working hands ; and
thus we find them arming themselves with the
weapons assumed by their opponents, and exhi-
biting the same tactics. Thus we find that a
" turn-out" is met by a "lock-out," and that the
men who exhibit a disposition to support others in
idleness, are speedily left to demand similar assist-
ance for themselves.
The workmen, on the other hand, misled by
turbulent and interested leaders, impute to their
employers the privations and sufferings which they
themselves and their families are now undergoing.
They are taught to believe that the strictly defen-
sive measures which have been adopted by the
masters are totally unjustifiable, and suffer them-
selves to be led away by the turgid and inflated
balderdash, that is instilled into thir ears by those
who are feeding on the fat of the land—eating
and drinking of the best at their expense. Thus
the present untoward state of affairs has sprung
up, and unless a speedy arrangement be effected,
we may look forward to still more dangerous
occurrences than those that have already taken
place.
There are few of us who have not heard iu our
juvenile days that—
