LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1854.

Loyal Addresses to our most gracious SOVE-
IrloN* were last night unanimously and enthu-
siastically voted by both Houses of Parliament, in
answer to the Royal Messages announcing the
declaration of war against the disturber of the
general tranquillity—the unscrupulous aggressor
--who, without just cause or adequate provoca-
tion, invaded the territories of his inoffensive
neighbour, and continued in occupation, notwith-
standing the indignant protests of the four
Principal Powers of Europe. Men of all parties
concurred in declaring that the pretensions of the
AtrrocßAT were " subversive of the independence
of the Turkish Empire," and in assuring the
QUEEN of their
with her MA.
" firm determination to co-operate
JEFITY in a vigorous resistance to the
projects of a Sovereign whose further aggrandise-
ment would be dangerous to the independ-
ence of Europe." One honourable gentleman
only, true to his antecedents, ventured to con-
demn the war, the " just and' necessary war,"
on which we have entered, by sporting
twaddle, better suited to the atmosphere of a
Peace Society Conference than to an assembly of
the chosen Representatives of the British nation.
But even Mr. BRIGHT had sufficient discretion to
avoid any suggestion of an amendment. He
saw too clearly the impossibility of obtaining a i
seconder to venture on a proceeding so abortive ;
and, therefore, the motion was carried nemine
But while there
contradicente. was no
other person in either House of Parliament
ng to use the
" Snaffle," there were many
willi
ready to apply "the spur," in order to
stimulate the Government in the course on which
they had so tardily and so reluctantly entered.
While all, save one, 'were prepared to spare no
exertion to carry on hostilities until we
had obtained a permanent and honbur-
able peace, with ample guarantees for its
maintenance, there were those who freely con-
demned the conduct of her MAJEsTy's Ministers,
or rather " the clear and excellent" Nobleman at
the head of the Cabinet, for the timid and vacillat-
ing policy that rendered war indispensable,
and
suffered the resources of our ally to be deteriorated
before we offered the honest support which should
have been not merely tendered, but really given
at the very outset when the aggression was first
threatened. Had the Premier spoken out as clearly
and intelligibly in the first instance as other
Members of the Administration have more
recently done, we should not now have been en-
tering on a struggle of which no man can predict
the conclusion—a struggle which is but a portion,
and a portion only—for we have not a doubled,
but still an unmodified income tax—of the price
we have to pay for a Coalition Government, with
the Earl of ABERDEEN holding the helm, and
guiding the " vessel of the State" on what, in
this instance, unquestionably has been her " de-
vious" course.

The criticisms were not merely just, but
necessary ; and Lord DERBY, and Mr. LAY-
AR,D, and Mr. DISRAELI deserve the thanks and
gratitude of the country for pointing out the
grave errors that have been committed, and cau-
tioning the Government, Parliament, and the
country against any repetition of such injudi-
cious conduct. None of these parties have
" attempted to create" a diversion in favour of
the EMPEROR of Russia. On the contrary, the
Noble Lord, so unjustly attacked by a " leading
journal," as " desirous of weakening public con-
fidence in the Ministers of the Crown," unequi-
vocally declared that the war was " just and
necessary," that it was ,4 a war in a righteous
cause"—nay, more, that it was " a war neces-
sary for the preservation of the liberties of Europe
and repressing the innovations of Russia"—who
declared that we were not about to fight "for the
mere evacuation of the Principalities," but required
that " there should be some sort of security on the
part of Europe against the aggression being re-
peated," that the unjust "pretensions should not
again he put forward."

This is certainly a most extraordinary spe-
cies of " diversion" in favour of tho AUTO-
yam' diversion calculated to make him

" laugh at the wrong side of his mouth"—a
charge which could not have been gravely
put forward in any other day of the calen-
dar, and which must have been offered by the
Times with the view of making " April fools" of
its readers. " Call you this helping your friends,
FILL ?" Is this the sort of aid to afford ? If the
previous vacillation had not been censured, we
might have had a repetition of similar temporising.
We might, when the expenses of the war had
been incurred, and all its evils borne, have seen
congratulations on the patching up of a dishonour-
able peace ; or the CZAR—when defeated by the
combined valour of France and England, having
consented to accept " a hint" (like that given to
the Irishman who was " kicked down stairs") and
to evacuate the Principalities, from which he had
been driven at the point of the bayonet—waiving
the consideration of his claims until another and
a more auspicious opportunity.

We can, however, easily understand the
petulance of Lord ABERDEEN, and of his organ
in the press, at the legitimate complaints in both
Houses. The " travelled Thane" had his pr°-
Russian tendencies exhibited in the strongest
light. He saw it distinctly proved that his acces-
sion to office had been the signal for the com-
mencement of the proceedings which led to the
untoward result—that, like the man who, while
perpetually calling for silence, created the entire
disturbance, his insane demand for "peace at
any price" was the real cause of its viola-
tion. He was, therefore, naturally a little
sore. The " raw was established," and,
therefore, the lashes so vigorously administered
told with tenfold farce. Nor had his " organ "
merely to deplore the castigation of its patron.
" Its own withers were not unwrung," for the ex-
posure of the " feelers " that had been put forth
through
its columns for the division of the assets
of the sick man," and exaggerating the disease
to the utmost, could not but be wormwood to the
Leviathan, and we cannot feel surprised if the
cc galled jade should wince."
But for ABERDEEN we should not be at war
But for ABERDEEN we should long since have
taken " the bull by the horns," and been actively
engaged in the cause of truth and justice, and
therefore it was neither unbecoming nor impolitic
to censure his past conduct, or to warn him em-
phatically against a repetition of such unwise, in-
equitable, and disgraceful behaviour.

Several articles are unavoidably left over for
want of room.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,500 taken
for export and on speculation. The market was
dull, with plenty of sellers and not many buyers.
Railway Shares were firm at an advance of 2 per
cent. _ _

The great indulgence extended to neutral traders,
although calculated to excite dissatisfaction, and
occasion inconvenience, is not likely after all to
settle the vexed question and to guide the English
merchant in his proceedings. Upon this subject,
and the vacillation of Government, Messrs. F. J.
Smith and Charles observe :

" In our circular of 27th inst., we drew attention to
Lord Clarendon's letter to the deputation of Russian
merchants. This letter was followed, on the 28th, by a
' Proclamation," Declaration,' &c., at total variance
(so far as these State papers admit of interpretation),
with the assurances given by Lord Clarendon only the
day before. We have not space to discuss these State
papers, nor would this be of much use ; for, so contra-
dictory are the various announcements made by the Go-
vernment, during the present month, on the subject of
Russian trading—no sooner is one line of proceeding
laid down than it is succeeded by another, and this,
again, by a third—that the probability is, that before
our views on the present aspect of affairs could be in
possession of our friends, some fresh declaration will
have been put forth by the Government. The wisest
course, therefore, for parties engaged in the Russia
trade would seem to be, to take no steps until every-
thing has been fully discussed in, and settled by, Par-
liament. Enough, however, has been indicated by the
looming forms of 'cruizers,' Admiralty Courts,' con-
fiscation,' and ' prize money,' to suggest the expediency
of extreme caution in purchasing Russian produce
abroad, and importing it into this country, and to lead
to the conclusion, that a business surrounded with such
difficulties, and accompanied by such hazards and pos-
sible delays, will scarcely be attempted by any except
our wealthiest merchants, and by them only on a mode-
rate scale."

The return of the Bank of England for last week
is more favourable in many respects. The specie
was again reduced in amount, but to a much
smaller extent, and in the course of a fortnight
there will probably be an increase. The discounts
and loans were largely increased, and the demand
for money occasioned a withdrawal of deposits.
This brought out the circulation of notes. The
sum to the credit of the Government was mode-
rately augmented, but the total is still much below
what is usual at this period of the quarter. The
following are the changes taken against the pre-
ceding week :

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.
A despatch from Warsaw, received at Vienna yester-
day, announces that Prince Paskiewitch had set out and
would probably arrive at Bucharest on the 4th of April.
The Austrian Bank on Thursday declined the propo-
sition of the Government to advance hard cash on the
security of the State domains.
The rupture between the Porte and Greece appears
to be complete.
A Greek mercantile house, at Vienna, received a
despatch announcing that on the 29th the Russians
attacked Kalafat and took three redoubts.

Several regiments of the garrisons of Mantua, Verona,
and Venice have been embarked at Trieste for Agram
and the Provinces of Croatia. Reinforcements from the
Tyrol have replaced them.
The Arch-Duke William has received the last sacra-
ments. He suffers rather less.
A telegraphic despatch from Berlin says the King's
health is improving, and adds that Russian diplomacy
is making great exertions at Vienna to prevent Austria
from acting in hostility against Russia, the latter be-
lieving that if it can succeed with Austria, it is sure of
Prussia.

The Journal de Frankfort states that the passage of
the Danube was begun on the 22d, upon four points
and in three columns. The force that had reached the
right bank consisted of 41 battalions of infantry, three
regiments of cavalry, one of Cossacks, and 140 guns.
The Turkish army stationed between Tultscha and
Matchin is estimated at 30,000 men, with 60 guns.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1854,

the command of Captain C. J. Gibb ; and the 11th
company, under the command of Captain F. C. Hassard
Royal Engineers, have since their arrival at Malta
been ordered to proceed to Turkey, and will be sta-
tioned at Schumla. The Bth company under the
command of Captain E. F. Bourchier, Royal En-
gineers, are now on their passage from Gibraltar
to Turkey ; and the 10th company, under the com-
mand of Captain George Bent, Royal Engineers, at pre-
sent at Woolwich, are to embark about the 7th of April
in the Melbourne, screw steam-vessel, for conveyance to
Turkey. The Melbourne will also embark the left wing
of'the 38th Regiment of Foot for conveyance to the seat
of war in the East, and the steamer having coaled at
Woolwich went up to Deptford to-day to take provi-
sions on board. The 10th company of Royal Sappers
and Miners is to form the pontoon train to the army in
the East ; and after the embarkation of that company
at Woolwich there will only be about 190 effective
Sappers in England, Ireland, and Scotland, exclusive of
those engaged on surveying duties. The standard for
this branch of the ordnance service has been reduced to
five feet six inches in height, and about 550 mechanics
are required to make up the augmentation recently
voted by Parliament for increasing the strength and effi-
ciency of this useful corps.

SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 31.
The Trent is the first of the three ships belonging to
the Royal Mail Company which is ready for the con-
veyance of troops. The whole of her preparations were
completed this morning, and during the day she has
been inspected by the brigade major from Portsmouth,
Major Purvis. This officer has expressed himself highly
satisfied with the complete manner in which the various
orders have been executed, and also with the admirable
construction of this vessel for the duties of a troop ship.
It is stated that the Trent will be selected to convey the
23d Regiment, now lying at Portsmouth, to the East,
but officially the fact has not reached us. The men are
under orders to depart, and in perfect readiness to be
despatched immediately.

The Hannibal, 90, guns, new screw steam-ship.—
The order for this ship being taken into the basin for
being masted on her arrival here from Woolwich, has
been countermanded. Her masts, spars, &0., are to
be sent on to Chatham yard, and she is ordered to be
here by the 12th of April next. The Hannibal is to be
fitted as a two-decker of the second class, by which her
mainmast, spars, and yards will be considerably re-
duced, it having been found by the different practical
reports on the sailing qualities of the ships at present
in commission that many advantages are derived by re-
ducing the height and weight of spars aloft.
The Driver, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Com-
mander the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane.—On this sloop
leaving here orders were given that she was to proceed
to the Downs, and not to visit the ports on the east
coast of England. She, therefore, proceeded to the
Downs, and the African, steam-tug vessel, Mr. J. Gill
in command, followed her with seamen volunteers, sent
here from the receiving houses at London. The Trinity
yacht also conveyed some fine young men and lads to
her to join the vessels in the Baltic. On her arrival in
the Downs she was inspected by Rear-Admiral M. F.
J. Berkeley, M.P., &c. who, after the inspection, mus-
tered the officers and ship's company. The African re-
turned here at 11 p.m. yesterday from the Downs.
The crew of the Majestic, 80 guns, new screw steam-
ship, Captain James Hope, will be turned over to their
ship from the hulk to-morrow, immediately on her leav-
ing the fitting basin.
