Noble Lord very rationally argued constitute for
her MAJESTY'S ROYAL CONSORT the most complete
and decisive vindication. It must be remarked,
moreover, that this fervent and touching
tribute from the lips of an ex-Prime Minister,
was enforced soon afterwards, by the corroborative
testimony volunteered by Mr. WALPOLE, as to
the confidence generously reposed by her MA-
JESTY in the Councils of the DERBY Administra-
tion. Conspicuous among the incidents of the
evening having reference to these ministerial refu-
tations of the calumnies directed by anonymous
slanderers, against his Royal Highness the Priming
CONSORT, must be severally mentioned the recep-
tion given by the House of Commons to Lord
MELBOURNE'S written panegyric on his Royal
Highness's " judgment, temper, and discretion :"
as well as to the contradiction of the sinister
rumours in reference to the Horse Guards, a con-
tradiction -penned by Sir GEORGE BROWN ; and
that no less decisive disproof of the yet more
sinister rumours in relation to our foreign policy,
a disproof given in plain and unanswerable words
under the hand of Lord WESTMORELAND. Similar
explanations to those laid before the House of
Commons by Lord JOHN RUSSELL were meanwhile
being submitted to the consideration of the House of
Peers by the Earl of ABERDEEN. And from the
hereditary legislators, no less than from the
popular representatives, the rebuttal of the im-
putations levelled against the Prince ALBERT
elicited frequent and cordial acclamations.
Altogether, be it said, her MAJESTY and her
Royal CONSORT cannot but discover cause
for earnest and almost enviable self-gratulation
in the result of this first night's discussion in the
Imperial Parliament. As most assuredly, out of
these preliminary debates in the Lords and Com-
mons—the latter only remarkable for the brilliant
but blundering speech of Sir R. PEEL, for the cautious
oration of Mr. DISRAELI, an oration eminently
judicious, saving and excepting only in his most
mistaken allusions to the subject of Reform, but
above all for the egregious timidity manifested
throughout by the Opposition—out of these pre-
liminary debates, we say, in the Lords and Com-
mons, Ministers cannot but derive encouragement
for the future legislative labours, if not for the
collective repute, of the Coalition Government.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
RUMOURED COLLISION IN THE BLACK SEA.

A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, on Jan.
9, says :
" The Turkish army is preparing to resume the offen-

sive.

OMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

' Lord Redeliffe opposes the formation of foreign

Legions.

" There was a rumour that a collision had occurred
between the Russian and combined fleets, but nothing
official was known on the subject."

The last telegraphic despatch received from Vienna

states :

" Russia is resolved to learn her exact position.
Count Orloff demands how Austria will act should cir-
cumstances arise which may render her active interven-
tion in favour of Russia desirable. The reply is un-
known."

Another despatch received from Vienna says that "the
object of the mission of Count Orloff is quite pacific. It
is to prepare for the discussion of new bases for the con-
solidation of peace before the spring, in such a way as
to conciliate the position of Russia with the wishes of
the other powers."

It appears that the Count has presented to the Em-
peror of Austria an autograph letter from the Czar, in
reply to that which the Emperor wrote to him some

time back. It is said that the letter of the Emperor
Francis Joseph sets forth in most energetic terms the
absolute necessity of peace. He is also said to have
called the attention of the Czar to the culpable hopes
which the revolutionary party builds on a war between
the great European Powers.
A letter from Berlin, of the 28th, in the Augsburg
Gazette, says --" Austria and Prussia have done every-
thing in their power to ensure the maintenance of
peace. The King and the Prince of Prussia have written
on this subject autograph letters to the Czar, as well as
the Emperor of Austria. Hopes are also entertained
that peace will not be troubled. The news of a journey
of the Emperor of Russia to Vienna and Berlin seems
to gain ground. _ _ .

The Correspondence of Berlin states that the Prince
of Prussia, who is inclined towards an alliance between
Prussia and the Western Powers, made use of the fol-
lowing remarks at an audience which he recently gave
to the deputies of the Extreme Right :—" In case the
complications of the East should affect Prussia, you
will, gentlemen, find an opportunity of giving proofs of
that patriotism of which you have so often spoken, and
of showing that you know how to sacrifice your party
feelings to the welfare of the country." It is well
known, adds the Correspondence, that the party alluded
to is desirous that Prussia should make common cause
with Russia.
The Patric states, on the authority of letters which it
has received, that the Prussian Government has ad-
journed its reply to the communications of Russia until
it shall have known the decision of the Austrian Cabinet.
The first interview of Count Orloff with the Emperor
is described as having been very brief, and that it pro-
mised good results.
A letter from Warsaw, of the 26th, states that the
Emperor of Russia was expected to arrive there in a few
dap.
A letter from Dantsic, states that the Imperial guard
has received orders to set out from St. Petersburg on
the Ist of March, to occupy the coast of the Baltic, its
head-qu'arters being at Riga.
According to another letter the officer in command at
Sebastopol, when the Retribution arrived there, has
been dismissed, for having permitted a foreign vessel of
war to enter the port contrary to the regulations.
The lnvalide Russe publishes a naval bulletin from
the Black Sea, in which, after a description of a two
hours' bombardment of Fort St. Nicholas, it is said that
"the Vice-Admiral sailed along the coast of Anatolia,
but the weather changing, he was compelled to abandon
his intention of attacking Trebizond."
The date of this expedition was Dec. 31, four days
before the combined fleets entered the Black Sea.
A despatch from Constantinople, dated the 17th ult.,
states that the Turkish steamers returned from Batoum
would start again for the Black Sea, under the escort
of the ships of the combined fleet, which was still at
Sinope.
It was stated that another English steamer had gone
to Sebastopol with despatches.
It was also said that the Porte had accepted the ser-
vices of the Hungarian General Klapka, and had in-
trusted him with an important command in Asia. A
number of other foreign officers have also been admitted
into the army of Asia.
General Baraguay d'Hiliiers had gone on the 16th to
examine personally the fortifications of the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles.

opinion generally expressed there was, that nearly all
chance of a pacific solution was over, and, so far as the
Emperor allows his thoughts to be known, it would
appear that he was much of the same opinion himself.
General Pelissier has left Paris for Oran, where he is
to make all the necessary preparations for the embarka-
tion of 10,000 men, who are to be sent from that province
to Constantinople. It appears that in the first instance
France will send 25,000 men, and England 15,0000
This united army will take the place of the Sultan's
guard of 20,000 men at Constantinople, while the latter
will be sent.to join Omer Pacha's army on the Danube.
The Mitiifiter of War has sent orders to Metz for the
fabrication of 235,000 Congreve rockets.
The Bourse was greatly crowded yesterday, but there
was not much business transacted, the speculators wait-
ing to hear the substance of the Queen's speech, of which
nothing transpired up to the close of business. The
