extrication.

from the lips of Lord JoHN RUSSELL, when an-
other, kindred to it in candour and magnani-
mity, is hearkened to in the House of Lords
from an Administrator as authoritative upon
the momentous subject referred to as the Secre-
tary of State for the Foreign Department. The
Earl of CLARENDON at length scruples not to avow
that any insignificant result of the present war
with Russia—would be a virtual triumph for
Russia, would be only postponing the evil (which
must sooner or later be dealt with) to some less
favourable opportunity, and, beyond all that,
would be actually unbecoming the dignity of both
the French and English Governments.
Is there much probability, considering the facts
we have just enumerated, is there much probability
we ask, of any such speedy termination of the war
with Russia, as was promised, or rather, we should
say, threatened the other day by our Ministerial
contemporaries ? At the very time when those
threats of a disgraceful compromise with Russia
being imminent were first heard, we ventured
at once to laugh them to scorn as impossible
and ridiculous. A few days have elapsed, as
before observed, and lo ! they have " melted into
thin air ;" and instead of the retirement of the
Russian army beyond the Pruth, we learn that
there is no prospect whatever of any intention on
the part of the CZAR to prepare for the mere con-
tingency of the evacuation of the Principalities !
It is true that another Minister of the
Crown—not Lord CLARENDON, nor again Lord
JOHN RussEnn—declares within a week after the
President of the Council has spoken, as we have
already remarked--declares upon the very night,
and in the course of the very discussion upon
which the Foreign Secretary gave utterance to
language characterised by such patriotic ardour,
such nobility of sentiment, and such statesmanlike
determination—declares within that very week,
and upon that very night, that he conceives " we
shall not do amiss" if we bring the present war with
Russia to a close with some such result as that
which terminated a former war between Russia
and Turkey, with the Treaty of Adrianople ! But
who is that Minister ? Not, we have said, Lord
CLARENDON. Not Lord JOHN RUSSELL. NOt
Lord PALMERSTON. Not the Duke of NEWCASTLE.
Not Sir JAMES GRAHAM. Only the First Lord of
the Treasury —only the Dissenting Minister—
only the Under-Secretary of M. GUIZOT—only
the " dear," the " good," the " excellent,"
of the Royal MACAIRE with the pyramidal peruke
and the cotton umbrella. Men shrug their
shoulders when they hear this sagacious personage
babbling about the peace of Europe not being en-
dangered by Russian aggression, or about the secur-
ing tranquillity for 25 years to come being a result
"not amiss" under the circumstances. They re-
member that in him they behold only the dupe of
that old gentleman who landed in the spring of
1848 on the coast of England, with his whiskers
shaved off, and himself huddled in an old pea-
jacket, and his name Small ! They can-
not forget that it is only the " forty years' friend"
of that very reputable person who declared he
only wanted ten minutes' conversation with Lord
ABERDEEN to arrange matters satisfactorily, who
knowingly penned untruths in an Imperial Pro-
clamation, and who celebrated by blasphemous
thanksgivings addressed to HEAVEN, that terrible
butchery of the Turks at Sinope, which had
been effected through the flagrant violation

of his " parole de gentleman 1' Remember-
ing these things, intelligent Englishmen listen
with a shrug of the shoulders to avowals such as
those we have just particularised—marvelling at
the freaks of fortune observable at times even in
the distribution of the offices of Government.

The Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member
for Bath deserves the thanks and gratitude of
every parent struggling to bestow a University
education on some promising child. If his admi-
rable suggestion be carried into practical operation,
a crying reproach will be removed from one of
the ancient seats of learning. Families will no
longer tremble at the dangers to which a son or
brother is exposed ; and young men themselves
will not be crippled in their means, and impove-
rished during their entire lives, in consequence
of the reckless extravagance of their early years.
The temptation of complaisant and bowing trades-
men forcing their wares on inexperienced fresh-
men will no longer exist, when the prices can no
longer be enforced by legal process, and when, if
credit be given, payment must exclusively depend
on the honour of the juvenile debtors.
The painful disclosures that have from time to
time been elicited in the Insolvent Court prove
beyond the possibility of doubt the fearful extent
of the evil; and the imperative necessity of
affording some degree of protection to the alumni
from the dangers by which they are surrounded.
A few wealthy young men, possessed of more
money than wit, and altogether exempted from
r the necessity of acquiring their own maintenance,
indulge in expensive luxuries, and neglect the
studies which form the ostensible objects of
their sojourn. To the owners of several
thousands per annum the outlay of a few
thousands more or less is a matter of per-
fect indifference ; the payment cannot occasion
a moment's anxiety. Nor will they have to un-
dergo any privations or inconvenience on account
of these claims. Like Mrs. lIARDCASTLE, they
may think that it can't require much learning to
spend 3,000/. per annum. Therefore, tutors are
neglected, and if they trouble themselves at all,
it is merely to save themselves from "plucking."
Unfortunately, however, the examples they set
are followed by many others who have no such
plausible excuses to offer. The son of a cler-
gyman, barrister, or doctor, who has to make
his own fortune by his own exertions, en-
deavours to vie with the great men of his col-
lege, accepting invitations to wine parties, and
he thinks himself bound to return the compli-
ment, and speedily finds the allowance which his
friends can scarcely afford is totally inadequate to
supply his exigencies. He speedily gives up every
effort to obtain honours and distinction, and
thinks the term reading-man ono of the moat ob-
noxious that could be applied.
The " allowance"merely serves as pocket money.
Everything, whether necessary or otherwise, is
obtained on credit. When, therefore, the time
approaches for taking his degree, he is found over-
whelmed with debts, and with all his prospects
in life blighted. He must either yield to his
fate, or see his entire family straitened in their
circumstances from the sacrifices necessary for his
