EXETER CONSISTORIAL COURT, JULY 21.7-THE CRE,
DENCE TABLE IN ST. SiDviEi.L's.—Judgment was this
day given in this case. It was to the effect that as Mr.
Palk had,' without sanction or license of his ordinary,
unlawfully taken down a shelf cemplained of by Mr.
Galion, and bad by such act •exceeded the duties of his
office as chUrChwarden, that he be 'admonished not to
commit the said offence in future • that he be not directed
to 'replace it again, but that he be condemned to pay 3/.
costs to Mr. Galton's proctor, that being his proportion
of the whole expenses.
SUICIDE at BURLINGTON-HOUSE.—Yesterday an hi-
liest was held at Burlington-house, Piccadilly, before
Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, on the body of
Mr. William Garrad, aged 60, house steward, and but.
ler to Mr. E. Denison. It appeared that deceased (who
had been in Mr. Denison's service more than 30 years,
and was much respected) had lately suffered a good deal
in mind about his sons, one of whom was dying. of
consumption, and the other had left a good situation and
gone to sea. ,He had exhibited a great change In
his manners, and on Wednesday seemed much cast
down, complaining also of pain in his head: The follow-'
mg morning be was found hanging by a rope fastened
to some pegs in his bed-room. A letter to Mr. Deniti.ten
was found among his papers, praying that gentleman
to befriend his wife and family in return for a faithful
service of thirty-four years.—Verdict, " Temporary in-
sanity."
DISEASE IN THE RUSSIAN AMT.—Accounts have
been received from the Russian army which state that
the scurvy has broken out amongst the troops to a great
extent; and has become, in a certain measure, epidemic.
Upwards of five thousand men are said to be in the hoS-
pitals of' Ibraila, Galatz, and elsewhere, victims to this
disease, 'brought on by unwholesome food and constant
expo3ere in marshy bivouacs, as well as by personal
uncleanliness. Upwards of 300 waggons laden with
sick and wounded, in a helpless condition, passed
through Galatz, on then inst., from Silistria. •
ASTLET'S. —A. visit to this popular theatre cannot fail
in procuring a pleasant evening's entertainment. The
magnificent war spectacle, Ties Cossacks ; or, Vim la
Frunce--the inimitable Scenes in the Circle—the supe-
rior talent of Miss Emily Cooke, and Mr. Alfred Cooke,
—the-Gymnastic feats of talented artistes—and a lau"h-
able Burlesque alluding to passing events, form alto-
gether a delightful evening's recreation. ;

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 2•

THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

- --,- ,
We must confess to a very different set of men-
tal associations from - those which. sixteen years'
incessant sitting in the House and gazing at office
have created , in Mr. Disraeli. . The first. ,thought'
that occurs to ',the ex-Chancellor of the ,EiCheijuer on
hearing of the vote of credit for 3,00;600/., to be moved
for next Monday; is, that on the strength of this request
her Majesty's Government will be graciously pleased . to
'promise us the-delicious treat "of an autinnual session.
Like the‘object of his life's antipathy, Sir - R. Peel, 'and
his early patron, Mr. Hume, Mr. Disraeli, appears to be,
never so happy °rat, entirely himself as when he is sitting
on or opposite to the Treasury bench. For our part, cer-
: d . taro as we are that nn autumnal session will onlybea fresh
drain on goOd time and strength, and will not really for-
ward the hilliness of-the nation, we wish
,such /in inflic-
tion on anybody's head than our own. The first thought
that occurred to us was the hope that her Majesty's
Government would be • able very scon to promise ,us
, something for our money. The British people have in
• . one point a strikingresemblance to his Imperial 'Majesty
• the Emperor of all the Russias. Like' him, they ' are
matter-of-fact, ' and- think a good deal of " material
guarantees." Politicians 'there are who ' are always
' • talking of moral - victories; of diminution of prestige, of
serious blows inflicted .by fleets showing
_their. tepga.l-
- lantinasts just above the horizon, and occasionally sur
prising a Fin. . The mass of the people, including Our-
- selves, are much too gross-mipded for this refined sort of
• warfare. We don't insist on Cronstadt being destroyed,
St: Petersburg shelled; the Emperor brenght.home in a
cage, orßussiapartitiOned, but weremember the immense;
naturally
therally
• expect immense
odds on our side, the immense boasting we have all'
ihad
ng that
worthyt the enemy o
of
hasthese done; and
wethings.
' . The Czar must be not only beaten, but the bit must be Tem° wrong
something
put` intOlis Mouth,, and he must be brought well 'under,
command: ' It will never do to have all this work over
again two or three yearl hence. The enormous 'nibble
, of Russian power has burst, and we are all begianing to
realise what, indeed,' altmight have known a year,
,age,
if they hid thought abdutt: Why, the population of;
Russia doei not,exceed-that of England and France
, .
to-
gether, let alone. the whole Turkish empire.. To all
practical purposes we are Much nearer the principal seat
' , of war. than the bulk of the Russians ; we are richer be-
, yond all comparison ; our .soldiers and sailors beat the
i' Russians out and out, both in pluck and in mere, physi-
;, cal strength ; and if, with all these odds on our side, we
-r,) don't bring home a good account of Russia, we are just
' rendering ourselves the laughing-stock of the World.
~ Such were our own reflections on hearing of the three
millions wanted by Government ; and they led. us to the
' oonclusion that it might have twice as much if it pleased,
so' as it had something to show for the money:
A ,(:arepa,ign of ' bloodless demonstration , may be very
seientia7. but it is much too paradoxical for,vulgar tin-
der/standings. Here we haVe two of the finest fleetfi over
, • ..,.. •,
launched on' the :oceariotid by far the -fiwest army ever
. sent from this' ponntry,•bosides cbrrespondingarinaments
contributed by 'trance; and, so far, we have-simply let
the Turks fight tllieir own .battle., -We go on 'abusing
them and everything' about them—the vapourinecourage
and predatory habits', of their irregulars, :the. Stupidity'
and cowardice of their •officers, the general. Want.. of
method in their Governme.nt, and the ridiculous.poverty. .
of the whole race. Yet we,• stand by as:idle spectators,
and content ourselves with oheerincr on. the Turks,. just
as a circle of. big lubberly fellows atpschool will spirit-up
a little boy to show fight aga,'nst one double' his size.
At all events, that is the leek 6 f things. Siliitria-held-
out successfully against 60,000 \ Russians; who-threw'
into it 50,000 round shot and shell, and mined it in
every direCtion, while 'we. were within hearing, 'and
never stirred froni our , tents. What may have 'hap-
pened within, the lastlfew days we know not,: hilt *the
people who were last I heard of as driving the Russians '•.
out of the Dobrudscha, and harassing. their rear in. .
their retreat from Wallachia, were the Tuiks. • If. this •
is all, and if the Crescent is to monopolise all the' laurels,-
the result will be very distasteful to this country.— of
that_ it is glory we want—it is actual security. , RUssia
has 'herself, never beam content with glory. She 'has
always obtained -either a province, or a privilege or a
sea, or a river, or soinethingtlse substantial. : In, this
point she sets us an tbi ample; and if, as is likely enough,
We have to pay our twenty or thirty millions, for our
war,. we shall not be satisfied unless Russia disgorges
some of her ill-gotten.gai.ni,. and a victory is marked mot
only in treaties, in sp.seches andpoems, but in themian
of !Europe, so- that' :11.ny boarding-school .MUs may see'
the difference between Russia as it is and' Rusiia as i
was.

It is not. for man i to forecast too confidently or too,
precisely the event of a war, in which Fortune will still.
have her sway, and th u merest accident may.db the work-
of armaments and ovlerthrow the decisions of councils.
But the most immedialte objects Of the war are the vindk
cation of Turkish in, dependence, and the permanent
clearing of the territ try invaded, and the' permanent
opehing of the Black Elea and the Danube to all nations.
None of these objects i:Yan be attained without the entire
destruction of the Ruskiian navyin those waters, andthat•
cannot be accomplisher so long as the great stronghold
of the robber remains++ wholly Intact: The .capture of
Sebastopol and the occ,apation of the Crimea by the allied
forces is only_a, question of money and time, and when it
.is once done Russia will be as powerless in the`Black
Sea as in the British Ch:Lnnel. It may or may not answer
our purpose to hold \ Sebastopol for a longer • time
than will suffice to brictg away or destroy all, the ship-
ping
,and stores, all the) cannon' and everything worth
moving, and leaving not one stone upon another of the
boasted fortification. ,T tut, if we thoroughly scour the-
tilaisk Sea of everythinii Russian, it will take years be-
fore the fortresses can be repaired and the armaments re-
placed ; and, meanwhile, with little help from us,
Turkey will be able t‘s stand her ground: That, of
course, will not be the. whole result.• • The civilisa-
tion and the ideas of the West -have now been intro-
duced into the Turkish empire, arid some of the finest )
regions on the face, of th earth are opened to our enter-
prise. Asia Minor, Sy Oa, and all ,the shores of
.the
Black Sea amid the Archipelago will now be visited and
even inhabited by our na,trchants, our menof wealth, and.
possibly our agriculturist s. When this has gone on a few..
years th `ere will be an eiad of Russia in that part of the
world, and she will be reduced to the, humble but more .
Useful employment of cultivating and peopling her own
territory at home. All this is a matter of the simplest
and surest calciilation, though it is possible other result's '
may mix themselves with those more directly aimed at..
The present generation will see the downfall Russia has
prepared for herself. Th. downfall of a vast increasing
power ie at all.times difficult to be believed or even imar
gined beforehand.: But' other great Powers, that. of.
Cha,rlesiV., for example, have risen to just the same
dangerans pre-eminence, arld just the same overweening.
confidence in their fortunn; only to fall the more end-
denly and entirely. We plat greater faith in Providence
and the Moral laws of the world than in any one conspi-
racy.against thaliberties of mankind, and therefore think
that we'may boldly put our hand to the work, and de-.
prive Russia of the means of doing more mischief for a
generation to come.—Tim rB.

in both houses it was announced that the debate on
this message will be taken on Monday, and accordingly
Monday will be the chief field-day of the Session on the
one great topic that now occupies the attention, of the
world. Lords. and Commoners ,alike will then .have
ample opportunity, for saying all they think ought to be
said on the present condition. and. prospects of the war,
and ample scope also for Criticism. on. the way in which
the Coalition have reatiaged.it....There is but little risk
in the prophecy that all the hostile remarks, all the
favourable criticism, , will -chiefly bear—not against

this duty will be all the easier from'the very proper re-

feel sure.that there will not be wanting some sturdy,,

Mr. Greer followed me, -pulled me out of my room, and at
his earnest request I reluctantly went down with him again
to his room. We then began toe play again; he became ex-
cited. I wished to get up and 'go away. Mr. Greer said I
should be a great . blackguard, after having won so much
money from him, to go away without giving him the chance
of winning it back: • I -did • give' him a chance, extracting
from him a pledge, on his word and honour as an officer. and

me; as he had previously done,by the waistcoat. He dragged.
me towards my bed, calling me a -, a poor -, and a
swindler.. At the same time he was thrusting me on the hed,
hurting my head and shoulders against the wall. This was
done repeatedly, Lieutenant Greer using the same offensive
language all the time. lie said, " You

WLEBRATION OF THE ONION BETWEEN
. ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

A. meeting of some of the leading promoters of this
scheme was held yesterday at the Mansion-house, to
taka into consideration the report of the General Pur-
poses Committee
Ainong•the
.company_ present were—Lord Ebringtoi,
Sir John Easthope, Bart., Lieutenant-Colonel Sykes,
Messrs. T..C._Grattan, J. N. Butterworth, T. Dakin,
Pritchard, F. H. Catty, J. Andetton J. Pileher, P.
Bennoch, Lieutenant:Colonel Stirr, Messrs. E. Thomas, S: Smith, F. Lloyd, J. Causton, ••S. Reid, D. Cracklow,
J. Wood, M. llzielli, J. J. Meolzi, R. N. Philips, R.
Gurney, J. B. Carr, B. Bower, and George Sedgwick.
Lord Ebrington was called to the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that •
sum of 4,700/. had been subieribed for the festival,
and that communications hid been. addressed to the
mayor .of each municipality; to.the sheriff of eaels
county, and to the various publichodielz in the metropolis.
A depntation had visited-the north of England and Scot-
land, and everymea.sure had been adopted to enlist na-
tiOizal'eympathy and support. From the various answers
received, by, the .committee. it was their belief that the
object proposed would, if carried out with judgment and
energy, be productive of great good. No objections to
the festival had in any case been made: The committee
recommended that power be given them to appoint not
more than three persons, who should proceed to Paris
for:the purpose of ascertaining whether the month of oo-
tober'or,,if not in that month; what other period would
bii most convenient to the general body of guests pro-
posed•to begnviVed,. ,
:A:getter was read from the Lord Mayor, recommend-
iug that the committee should be dissolved, and that a
public-meeting be held to authorise the return of the con-
tributions that had been paid to the treasurer. His lord-
ship had come to this conclusion in consequence of many
influential supporters of the movenient having withdrawn
from the ceminittee. Among such were the chairman
,and directors. of the Crystal Ranee: They were of
Opinion that at ihiai advanced period of the season it
would be impracticable to entertain the French nation.
in a suitable manner. His lordship 'concluded by plainly
telling the committee that, in the. event of their non-
compliance to postpone the matter, the use of the Man-
siOn-house should no longer be afforded for their meet-
ings. -
A letter from Mr. Laing, M.P., was read, enclosing
a requisition signed by thirty-fire members of Parlia-
ment, stating their opinion that any attempt to carry
out a• festival at the present lateseason of the year would
be injurious to the object they had at heart.
• Mr. Sheriff Wire's setter was also read, advocating the
carrying out of the festival.
The meeting was aftervirarfls addrissed by Mr.
Anderton, who advocated the carrying out of the pro-
position, by Mr. Bennoch, and several other gentlemen.
Eventually Sir J. Easthope moved a resolution to the
following effect That the, report be referred back to
the committee of general purposes to ascertain the most
convenient . period at which the festival .can take place,
and that this committee pledges itself to continue its
efforts to carry out the object in a manner worthy of
.the great occasion." He thought that, embodied the
opinion of the majority, and took up ground where they could all Meet in-harmony.
Mr. SPICEB seconded the motion, which was agreed
to.
Mr. UzrEnra proposed that the committee be in-
structed to collect the subscriptions of these whose names
were put down in the /ist. (Hear, "hear.) Tha sooner
that, was done' the better.
The resolution was carried unaniMously;
After a cordial vote of thanks to the noble chairman,
