and the interests of Germany are at least as much
involved in maintaining the conclusion as those of
France and England.
As to the particular form which our proceedings
should take, it is clearly impossible to establish any
decision. That the Czar should not be left
with
such a place of offence as Sebastopol is plain to
everybody but the professed peacemakers of Eu-
rope, nor do we think Mr. Cobden need feel alarm
at the disclosure of our views upon a fortress which
has been invested by our squadrons for these last
six months. Perhaps it may be thought advisable
to deal more broadly with the Crimea—perhaps
not ; but a gentleman of Mr. Disraeli's historical
information will easily understand that the demo-
lition of Sebastopol need no more mean the dis-
memberment of Russia than the demolition of
Dunkirk meant the dismemberment of France. Of
all the arrangements of treaties none have been
more common or inure universal than stipulations
for the dismantling of strong places. Possibly this
place may be naturally too strdng, even without its
fortifications, to be left in the offender's hands, but
these are considerations into which it would be
worse than foolish to enter at present. It is enough
to know that we have a clear idea of the true pur-
pose of the war, and we hope, before many days
have elapsed, that we shall obtain a more distinct
idea of the operations by which this purpose w
be promoted.—Times.

WHAT TURKPiir MAY BECOME.

TO-NIGHT.

..,, would be very much at has happened a
thousand times before, if this new and strange
affair in the East should become its own teacher.
Everything is to be learnt, .tind the.. best thing we
can do is to take hints as fast as they are given
us. We set about it grandly and heavily, as
becomes a great civilised nation. We have sent
the largest ships, and the grandest armies, and
the greatest men, and everything respectable,
scientific, ingenious, and expensive. But, like a
man whose horse is teo good to risk on the road,
whose carriage is too new
.for rough work, and
whose coat has not yet known a shower, we are
afraid to use our very expensive ships lest they
should be spoilt, and our costly soldiers lest their
precious lives should be wasted- in some foolish
affair, and their prestige destroyed. Plain, how-
ever, it is that we cannot go on long saving our
strength for the great things we are to do some day
or other. If we must economise our assistance to
Turkey, we must practise some of that husbandry
and condescend to some of those makeshifts that
experience suggests to us. In our humble opinion,
experience has already brought us to one very
timely and important lesson—by whom has the
great work of the campaign so far been done ? The
greatest work is the defence of Silistria, and the
garrison of that fortress would not have had the
self-confidence, the ability, or the perseverance to
hold out, except for the accidental presence of two
British officers, the lamented Butler and his friend
Nasmyth. In Silistria there was seen, not what
the Turks can do, nor yet what the English and
French can do, but what the former can do under
the assistance and the command of the latter. The
Turks have the raw material of armies in abund-
ance. Their men are hardy, temperate, and much-
enduring. Without pay, without shelter, and
almost without food or clothes, exposed to ia-
credible hardships, rotting like sheep from the utter
neglect of everything necessary to health, and, above i
all, having but little confidence in their officers,
they nevertheless hold their ground and defend
their shattered mounds with a spirit that recalls the
names of Saguntum and Saragossa. The Turk
evidently feels his dependence on the steadier and
more intellectual character of a race not stronger
or braver than his own. He seeks the aid of
renegades, and gladly fights under infidel officers.
Such is the raw material. On our part we have a
great superabundance of another material—the
highly educated officer class—brave, honourable,
the very souls of discipline, and with manners that
command the respect of semi-barbarous races.
Our continental allies, with some differences, and
certainly with more military skill, have also a great
aptitude for command. Now, as knowledge grows
by putting things together, why not bring together
the two materials we have described, and do the
chief part of thy work in the East with Oriental
soldiers, officered by English and French ?
That this very natural idea has already entered
into the views of the Government appears from the
passage in Lord John Russell's speech in which lie
refers to the various unexplained purposes for which
the vote of credit is required. " Among other
points," be says, " which have come under our
consideration, especial attention has been given to
a suggestion, that a large body oh Turkish troops
should be joined with our army, and receive pay
from the British Government. This is one way in
which it may be necessary to apply a part of the
resources of the nation." Certainly, if we give the
money,—it, in one fashion or another, we must
supply the deficiency of the Turkish Exchequer, it
will be far more satisfactory to apply that money so
as to 'tell with the Lest
.possible effect, and not'
squander it away on unprincipled officials and un-
disciplined marauders. The Portuguese served ad-
mirably under British officers, and our Sepoy army
in India is hardly to be surpassed in the world.
There is no obstacle whatever to the formation of a
similar force to any extent we please in the East, for,
if we chose to pay a hundred thousand, we could
have theta the next month. Whether we have a
sufficiency of officers on the army list and the list

of expectants the Horse Guards must decide ; but
we should imagine that the officers would be forth-
climate, and, on the whole, much less irksome to
the Turks, than the wholesale importation of British
uSeirichadaapftoerdcetwooltihlde
troops. If, as seems likely, the war is to be a long
one, and if it is only to give way
to an attitude of
defence scarcely less martial and onerous than the
actual presence of war, then the balance of ad van-
tage is immensely in favour of the
plan for making

by the example of one properly conducted, while
the mere residence of respectable and well-informed
gentlemen from this part of Europe, under their
military rulers, will do much to purify the morals
and invigorate the character of our Eastern allies.
It must be remembered that the Turks are a mili-
tary people, that they have an intense admiration
for military virtues, that their own position is that
of a conquering and military race, and
that it
consequently is through this avenue to their feel-
ings that any reform from without must be ex-
pected.. They have not derived their amelioratin
influence from the renegade officers under whomg
they have hitherto fought. These soldiers of for-

EMBARKATION OF THE SCOTS GREYS.
LisrstirooL, Tuesday.--Since the arrival of the levia-
than iron steam-ship Himalaya, built by Mare and Co.,
of BI rckwall, the whole of Liverpool and its surrounding
populous neighbourhood has been in a state of the
greatest animation ; and every available means have
been adopted to get a sight of this wonder of the nauti-
cal world. She has been moored fur some days off- the
Rock Lighthouse, a distance of two or three miles down
the river, it being anticipated that she Would be docked
before her departure with the troops ; but as the autho-
rities were desirous of affording every facility for the
ready embarkation of the soldiers and their horses, they
gave notice that the great landing-stage at George's
Pier would be appropriate I for that purpose, and the
ferry steamers would, therefore, be obliged to use one of
much smaller dimensions called the Seacombe Slip. As
the inhabitants are proverbial for their enthusiasm upon
such and all other similar occasions, it was deemed re-
quisite to erect barricades at the entrances of the land-
ing stage, where large bodies of the police force were
stationed to prevent any improper crowding and sup-
press any disturbance that might arise. Happily
their services were not required for the latter duty
during any part of the morning. When ail the ne-
cessary arrangements had been completed, the
monster ship was brought alongside the landing-
stage, and there securely warped, to await the ar-
rival of the head-quarters from Manchester (last from
Prescot), where they had been remaining for some days
previously, Though it had been reported that the troops
would not make their appearance in the town till eight
or nine o'clock this morning, it was generally understood
that an earlier hour would attend their arrival ; but
vague as were all these rumours, shortly after dawn wit-
nessed the assembling of hundreds in the principal streets,
.and as the morning advanced the numbers increased to
an extent that rendered it wholly impossible to give even
a rough calculation of their numbers.
It must, indeed, have been gratifying to the feelings
of every man in the gallant 2d Dragoons to witness so
exciting a reception on their entry ; but how much more
must they have been overcome by the display of loyalty
they met with on their departure from the stage. Shortly
after half-past six o'clock the North Britisher& were de-
clared to be in sight, and marching through Kensington,
Prescott-street, Loudon-road, Lime-street, Church-street,
Lord-street, and other streets, to the place of embarka-
tion ; they were accompanied by several thousands of
people, whose.cheers repeatedly made the welkin ring.
Lieut.-Colonel Griffiths was in command, and among
the other officers were Brevet-Major Clark, Capt. Boyd,
Lieutenants Wardrop, Hunter, Edwards, and Suther-
land ; Cornets Hanley and Nugent ; Adjutant Miller,
Quartermaster M'Bean, &c, Ou their arrival at George's-
pier, a portion of which had been previously kept clear
for the purpose, the men dismounted, and the horse;
1 were first embarked, which occupied about three-quarters
of an hour. Not a single accident occurred of any de-
scription, and this way attributed to the convenience
which the stage afforded for the immediate transmission
of the horses to their respective berths. An inclined plat-
form hail been constructed from the stage to the ship, the
bottom having cross rails to aid the security of the ani-
mals' footing, and horse after horse without any impedi-
ment was led on board, and at once slung into the
hold,, where they were placed in boxes well padded to
prevent injury. The men next conveyed their arms and
.accoutrements on board in an exceedingly short space of
time, witliout the slightest confusion ; after which they
came on deck, and ranged themselves along the bul-
warks to witness the scene there was on shore. Though
the embarkation of the 28th Regiment was a remarkable
event in this town, yet the arrival and departure of the
88th Connaught Rangers was still more remarkable ;
but the excitement which prevailed to-day, when the
Scots Greys took leave of Enzjand, was only equal to
that which Was manifested when ber Majesty last
honoured the port with a visit. The ferry-boats froM
Eastham, Rockferry, Tranmere, Birkenhead, Woodside,
E4reinont, Seacumbe, New'Brighton, &c. were on every
trip, from early morn, crowded from stem to stern with

persons eager to witness the departure. The clouds which
had assumed a somewhat threatening aspect, about nine
o'clock disperse•l, and the sun. throwing down his rays
upon the glittering trappings of the sons of Mars, offering
as it were additional encouragement to the noble fellows
about to earn fresh laurels in a righte.ms cause, lent a
charm to the brilliancy of the scene which it was a privi-
lege to witness. The throng had been increasing by
thousands, till every pier, quay, and dock iu the neigh-
bourhood of the stage was packed with human beings ;
the windows, tops of houses, the yards of the vessels in
the adjacent basins, offered accommodation for the addi-
tional numbers, and when every standing and sitting
place was filled, the still increasing numbers ranged
themselves in tiers in the graviyard at hand and in the
streets adjoining. Directly the last man had got on
board, Captain Kellock appeared on the " bridge," and
personally gave directions for unmooring, which having
been promptly obeyed, the floating barracks glided
into the stream amidst the most vociferous cheering,
which the Dragoons acknowledged in a style admitting
of no surmise that their lungs were affected. The
cheering was again and again renewed, and the band on
board gave " God save the Queen," which was the
signal for more cheering, till the notes of the musicians
were entirely lost ; then " Auld lang sync" followed,
and " Cheer, boys, cheer !" the vessel proceeding
up the river, and the cheering re-echoing from one
side of the river to the other. She was shortly
after safely moored, and it is not expected that she
will sail until to-morrow morning. The regiment bears
on its guidons, as the regimental badge, the thistle with-
in a circle, the cross of St. Andrew, and the motto
" Nemo me impune lacessi,t ;" also an eagle, with the
word " Waterloo," and a scroll with the following in-
scription, " Second to none." The Scots Greys have
the proud distinction of having captured the colours of
the French regiment Du Roi at Ramillies, the white
standard of the Household troops at Dettingen, and the
colours and eagle of a French infantry corps at Water-
loo. The eagle is still worn on their bear skins. It is
a singular coincidence, that when the 2d were ordered
to Waterloo, they were stationed at Nottingham—the
same place were they were stationed when ordered for
the East this year. From their stalwart appearance and
their determination, there is no doubt that they will
maintain the force of their inscription—that, in their

endeavours to conquer and subdue the Autocrat of
Russia, they will be " second to none."

SAILING OF THE AVON.

The steam-ship Avon left the quay at-Haulbowline
about ten o'clock on Sunday, having upwards of 1,400
troops on board. A number of persons were present on
the beach to witness the departure, and as the vessel
steamed slowly out the troops commenced to cheer vo-
ciferously, which was responded to from the shore with
equal cordiality. The Avon has exactly 1,492 persons
on board, and it is expected that the voyage to Varna
will occupy about twenty days.

Two transport•ships called the Flora and Sybil arrived
in the harbour of Cork on Saturday evening, for the
purpose of conveying troops to the East and to the
colonies. T,,e Flora has been chartered to convey a
detachment of 150 men to Canada, and the Sybil has
been ordered on similar service to the East.

SUMMAR ASSIZES.

HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, JULY 25.
The commission for the county of Kent was opened
on Monday, before the Lord Chief Baron and a Com-
mon Jury.

DE CHOICY v. 3fARMASSE.
This was an action brought by a French girl, named
Au;ustine de Choicy, to recover from the defendant
who is also a Frenchman, certain articles of wearing
apparel and 351. in money, which wag alleged to be the
balance of an account between the parties.
This case was of the a true di•:gusting character as one
that was disposed of a short time back in the Court of
Common Pleas, the present defendant being in the same
position on that occasion. The action was brought by a
prostitute to recover a sum of money, which she alleged
to remain due to her as the wages of her prostitution in
a house kept by the defendant in Newman-street. The
plaiiitiff was examined, and she deposed to the fact of
her having entered into a bargain with the defendant,
under which he was to receive half the money obtained
by her in her disgraceful occupation, and she alleged
that upon her leaving the wabliihinent, in the beginning
of May, the sum she claimed was due to her upon
balance.

Toe defendant, Germain Marmass4, a stylishly-dressed
Frenchman, was then sworn, and he detailed with the
utmost composure the nature of the agreement entered
into between him and the unfortunate woman who own
pied his house. He produced his books to show that he
hail paid the plaintiff all the money to which she was en-
titled. IL also declared that the plaintiff went away
on the 2d of April, and that consequently she could not
have been entitled to any further "earnings " up to the
month of May.
Upon being cross-examined the defendant said he con-
sidered himself a gentleman.
The Lord Chief Baron, at the close of the examination
of the defendant, said that as he had deliberately chosen
to come forward and avow his infamy, he felt that he
should be neglecting his duty as a man and as a magis-
trate, if he did not put the law of the country in force
against him. He accordingly ordered him into the cus-
tody of one of the tipstaffs of the court.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the
full amount claimed.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.
CROWN COURT—EXETER, JULY 12.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)
Llewellen Garret Talmage Harvey was indicted for
the wilful murder of Mary Richards, at Little Torring-
ton, on the 16th of May last.
It will be recollected that the unfortunate woman was
found in a field, in a dreadful state and nearly dead, her
skull fractured so fearfully that a portion of her bonnet
wa4 found in the substance of the brain ; and there was
little doubt also that her person had been violated. The
evidence against the prisoner was partly circumstantial,
and partly statements made by the poor girl after the
prisoner had been apprehended and brought before her.
Tile case for the prosecution having been closed, after
the examination of many witnesses, the case was
adjourned.

JULY 25.
The trial of Harvey for the Torrington murder was
resumed this morning at nine o'clock.
Mr. Coleridge addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner.

The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and
after abaut ten minutes' absence returned with a verdict
of guilty of wilful murder.
Mr. Justice Wightman then proceeded to pass
sentence of death on the prisoner in the most impressive
manner, holding out no hope of mercy on this side of
the grave.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.
CIVIL SIDE.-LINCOLN, JULY 25.
HILL V. FOSTER.

The action was brought to recover compensation for a
serious personal injury sustained by the plaintiff, and
the consequence of a wrongful act of the defendant.
It appeared from the evidence that the defendant, who
was standing in a garden, was passed by the plaintiff
on horseback ; on turning. her head, she saw him in the
act of throwing a leaf of rhubarb towards her. The
leaf flew by her slantingly, and struck the pony on the
