RATURDAY EVELSITMG, AUGUST VI Mg,

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
TIMES.—In spite of the undoubted courage and the
great ability disp!ayed by many of the leaders of the
Hungarian insurrection, a careful examination of the
operations of the campaign and a correct appreciation of
the real forces of Hungary had lone, since left us no
doubt as to the final result. The great victory of Ge-
neral Haynau at the battle of Temosvar, fought in the
neighbourhood of that city on the 10th instant, and the
submission of General Georgey at the head of his entire
division, have appeared to give an abrupt termination to
the struggle; but in reality both these events were the
results to which the whole plan of the campaign obvi-
ously tended. From the moment that the advance of the
maiu body of the Russians had secured the line of the
Upper Theiss, the cemmunication between Georgey and
the principal forces of the Magyars was obviously cut
off. That General manosuvred with great skill and ra-
pidity so as to avoid a general action with a superior
force; he harassed the rear of the Russian army, anal
made more than one attempt to cut his way to the south.
But although these operations ranged over a consider.
able extent of country, they could not end otherwise
than they have done. Georgey was acting without
any regular basis, and a ith no means of procuring
supplies except those he took from the enemy. The
submission of his corps was therefore inevitable. We
know not how far political considerations may have con-
trihuted to this result. Georgey was known to enter-
tain opinions strongly opposed to the revolutionary
schemes of Kossuth, tend though nu one has fought more
gallantly than he has dune for the national came, he is
sail to have retained a strong feeling of regard for that
Empire and that army against which he found himself
almost casually arrayed. Mere soldiers of fortune and
foreigners, like Dembinski and Bcm, were of course
prepared to tight to the last extremity, and the instiga-
tors of the revolution, like Kossuth, could have no hope
but in resistance; but the military chiefs of the Mug-
gars, like Georgey, Klapka' and Messaros, were con-
nected with Austria by very different ties, and the time
will come when they will again serve in defence of the
Empire as manfully as they have done for their native
kingdom. The probability is, therefore, that in sur-
renderingessityyielded, not only to a
conviction that the cause of
uecof at
war,Vi l g
butos ,
tGeorgeyo
a
the Hungarian revolution could no longer be defended
without destruction to both the contending parties.
The blow which had already been struck on the
10th by the great victory of Haynau at Teinesvar was,
however, even more decisive. The district lying between
the Theiss, the Mares, and the Danube had long been
marked cut as the scene of the last decisive battle. The
advance of Paskewitch to Grosswardein, of Luders on
the east, and of Haynau upon Szegedin, had narrowed
the insurrection to that point; and even there the .Aus-
trian garrison of Temesvar, under General Rukowina,
still held out against the most violent attacks. BAn had
arrived at the Magyar position on the 9.11, and immedi-
ately took the chief command of the national army.
He was attacked on the following day by the Imperial
forces, which had pressed on with extreme rapidity after
the battle of Szereg, near Szegedin; and iu spite of the
strength of the ground, the Hungarians were routed by
the main body of the Austrians, supported by one divi-
sion of the Russians under Paniutine. Towards the
close of the battle Prince Lichtenstein's reserve division
arrived, by good fortune, by the Arad road and cem-
pkted the defeat of the enemy. It is probable that after
tf ese tremendous blows Kossuth and the Poles will effect
their escape across the Turkish frontier, and all
organized resistance may, we hope, be considered at
an end. In spite of the violence of this conflict,
and the absolute triumph which appears to have
crowned the efforts of the Imperial armies, it is most
earnestly to be hoped that the Austrian Government
will dismiss every feeling of irritation towards the de-
feated party, and proceed to reorganize the kingdom of
Hungary on terms which may revive the loyal y and
good feeling of that important portion of its dominions.
We have constantly maintained that there have been
throughout this insurrection two parties in Hungary—
the one revolutionary, the other, not revolutionary, but
national; the former has, we trust, been annihilated; the
latter has rights which no defeat can efface, and its
national character and spirit constitute one of the
brightest j: well in the Imperial Crown. It is indis-
pensable for the welfare and security of Austria and of
Hungary that these vigorous shoots should be entwine d
in the constitution of the monarchy, and that the State
sheuld rest not on the subjugation of either, but on the
consolidaeed and equitable union of both. Ahovo
ally we trust that nothing will lead the Austrian Govern•
meat to repent the fatal experiment of the Emperor of
Russia, by tidying into exile the most ardent and intelli-
Poles, the Bedouins of Europe, because they have. been gent portion of his subjects, until they become, like the
de-
prived of their own natural and national rights. It is the
duty of a State to govern its subjects, not to exile them',
and still less to inflict on foreign countries a populatiea
which it cannot render happy and contented at home.
The Austrian Cabit:et still adheres to the execution of
the great constitutional project of the 4th of March, by
which all parts of the empire are to be confounded in
one vast Sy stem of representative government ; and it is
obvious that if any National Assembly is to be practi-
cally invested with this amount of supreme power, such
an assembly must be one in its structure and authority,
:hough it include, like the Imperial Parliament of the
United Kingdom, the representatives of three or more
nations. We have seen that the Crown and the army do
constitute a powerful and enduring bond of union be-
tween the various provinces of the Austrian Empire.
The question which has now to be decided is, whether
the same connexion can be maintained by the common
liberties and patriotism of the people. Upon the success
of thatexperiment depends the dissolution of the Austrian
monarchy or the gradual extension of union, civiliza-
tion, and freed-am to races and provinces which a jealous

and imperfect system of government has kept too
widely apart. In such a system of Government Hun-
g&ry would claim and exercise a large, and perhaps a
preponderating part, and though we confess that we look
with great doubt to the fulfilment of a scheme which
requires so m.ny sacrifices of prejudice and tradition,
yet we are convinced that in the hands of an able Mi-
nister and a Liberal Sovereign such a combination would
raise the Austrian Empire from its ashes and promote
the common welfare of all its members. In Hungary
we botieve that no inconsiderable part of the popula-
tion, from the highest nobles to the peasantry, will hail
the return Of peace with enthusiasm, and rally round the
Emperor Francis Joseph; and Kith regard to the Rus•
sian intervention, which cannot but have left the mast
painful impression in the country, we trust the Emperor
of Russia will give the most effectual proof of his disin-
terested policy by withdrawing his forces with the least
possible delay.
HERALD.—If we abstained from making any remarks
yesterday on the news purporting to come from Hun-
gary, it was not because we did not regard the question
with absorbing interest, or consider the Hungarian cause
of the greatest magnitude and importance—but really
and truly there have been of late so many and such con-
tradictory bulletins—news so conflicting and so various
have arrived on one and the same day, that we may well
be forgiven by our readers fur pausing till the rumours
of yesterday and the thy before had received some con-
firmation from France and Germany. Though the de-
tails given in our impression of yesterday are not so
precise and particular as we could wish, still there is that
convenient certainty about them, to use the jargon of the
lawyers, that one can no longer doubt that the Hunga-
rian General, Georgey, has submitted to the Russian
General, Field-Marshal Paskewitch (and not Paskie•
witch, as nearly all the London papers incorrectly call
him), either with or without conditions. Uninformed as
we are as to facts, it cannot be supposed that we should
be prepared to pronounce an opinion on all the details
of the negotiation. But this we may at least say,
that the Hungarian generals have borne themselves
so gallantly during the last three months—
have exhibited such chivalrous bravery—such consum-
mate strategy—and such pure patriotism and love of
country—that we cannot suppose that a man like
Georgey, standing preeminent among these generals,
would have surrendered to the Russian field-marshal
until he had seen that all the efforts that courage and
despair could supply were wholly exhausted. Su long as
hope, or the shadow of hope, was left, Georgey, we
believe, withstood the power of the allied Austrian and

Russian armits; but now that the fortune of war, and
the power and number, rather than the skill and ability
of his ene mies, have triumphed, Georgey, perhaps, has
done the wisest thing in ceasing to prolong a contest,
which must be continued at an immense expense of suf-
fering and of blood, at an expense of men and money,
and possibly also the certainty of a European war. Re-
gard the question es we may, there was, perhaps, but a
choice of evils. Either for a gallant pecple to des-
'perately and hopelessly continue the struggle for their
ancient constitutio❑ st.d laws, at an immense disadvan

tsge, or having unsuccessfully made such efforts as puhli
opinion i❑ Hungary sanctioned, to have surrendered
with honour,—to have surrendered, having fought the
good fight, without shame and without reproach.
This Georeey, and a vast number of Hungarian officers
and men appear to have done, and there can, we think,
be little question that the loudly-expressed public
opinion of Eure pe will secure to the Hungarian nation
that for which the best men in Hungary have been all
along contending—and contending with arms in their
hands—namely, her constitution and her laws—a con-
stitution of the most ancient, and laws venerable and
sacred. It is because we desire to see the Austrian
empire stroeg and united that we would now impress on
the Cabinet of Vienna the necessity of henceforth
governing the people of Hungary according to the
spirit and letter of their ancient constitution. Governed
in such a spirit, this brave and gallant people must be-
come a source of strength—must be at once the spear
and shield of the Austrian monarchy—whereas, if mea-
sures of vengeance and coercion be resorted to, the
struggle may be again renewed with greater bitterness
than before. It is because we desire nut the dismember-
ment of the Austrian empire, and should wish to
see that empire great and powerful, that we would
press on the other Cabinets of Europe the necessity
of now interposing by negotiation—and of endea-
vouring to secure to Hungary that which is con-
stitutionally and legally her right. In uttering
this opinion, we adhere to the views which we
expressed seven or eight months ago, antecedently to
the pc riod when the Hungarian cause was eneuailered
with the help of many mouthieg demagogues of the
metropolitan boroughs, and of the great neinufacCuring
WwllB—delpagot;ues who but repeat the stereotyped
articles which we hive seen in one daily and three or
four weekly journals, and which all evidently proceed,
with a slight variation of phrase—and possibly for seine
very well understood cause—from the same woe kshop.
That such meetings, or such arguments or articles as
have been recently urged and written in favour of Hun-
gary by some of our ultra Radicals, and one daily and
several weekly prints here, could have in any way sub-
served the great cause at issue in Hungary, we more
than doubt. The position of the question is now, how-
ever, such that diplomacy may fktingly intervene, v hen
the crash of arms and the more noxious babbling of 10
pounders have ceased; and we trust that Viscount Pal-
merston and her Majesty's Ministers will lose not ft

moment in co-operation with the French Govern-
ment in urging on the Cabinet of Vienna the long-
neglected truth, that by acting in a legal and
constitutional spirit towards Hungary, that king-
dom may be won back to a loyall and enthusialen
-uch as prevailed in the time of Maria Theresa..
Nothing but such a course as this can pacify Hungary,
save Austria, or secure tranquillity for any length of
time in Europe. The moment appears opportune for
peace and reconciliation ; for though Hungary has
learned her own strength and Austria her own
weakness in late encounters, yet the best and most en-
lightened men both in Austria and Hungary feel that a
great and enduring empire can only exist by the inti-
mate union of the two kingdoms—by the union of the
empire of Austria with the kingdom of Hungary. This
being so, we trust the constitutional Emperor of Austria
will henceforth act and feel as though he were
King of Hungary, and King on the condition of
rtepecting the laws and constitution of the Magyars.
If the obligations which Austria has incurred to
ltusAa could by any manner of means interpose an
obstacle to this great duty of the Austrian Emre ror.
and his Cabinet, such obligations would become a Eu-
ropean calamity, disturbing the balance of power, inter-
fering with the volition of au empire, and the happiness
and constitutional rights of a dependency. But ac trust
that Russia will now see fit to withdraw her armies trom
flung,ry, and by her wise counsels prove a disinterested
friend, and nut a dangerous ally. It is impossible how-
ever to conceal from ourselves or others the dangerous
precedent that has been created by this Muscovite inter-
ference, and the large margin which such interfere,nce
gives to Russia to intrigue in Austria, in Hungary,
in the Danubian principaliCes, and even in Turkey
itself. If there were a wife) or honest Govern-
ment in France, or an able President, such aspects of the
subject might be in a great degree disregarded. But
with a Louis Napoleon Bonaparte President, who may
within a week become the creature and tool of Russia,
such considerations force themselves ou the attention of
the most casual observer.

TIMES.—The Peace Congress is in full vigour at
Paris. We will not yield one whit to these talking
gentlemen in our sincere and earnest desire for the estab-
lishment of peace and tranquillity in every quarter of
the habitable world. Did we think such efforts would
he of any avail, we would subscribe largely to the main-
tenance of peace panegyrists, whose duty it sly-suld be
to wander from country to country and recite the epi-
thets of the meek-eyed goddess. Mr. Hullah's classes
should be instructed to chant secular odes in the same
direction, and national festivities be established to cele-
brate the spiking of the last twelve-pounder to be found
above ground. We also long for that blissful day when—
" No more shall nation against nation rise,
Nor ardent warriors meet with hateful eyes,
Nor fields with gleaming steel be covered o'er,
And brazen trumpets kindle rage no more;
But useless lances into scythes shall bend,
And the broad falchion in a ploughshare end."

We are well aware that more than one poet of a relaxed
imagination has indulged in such dreams as these ;
but we must be pardoned for doubting if the
time have come for putting their suggestions into
practice. A short bill, embodying the aspirations of
Pope's " Messiah," would be a strange 'addition to the
municipal statute-book ; or an European treaty of
the like nature a still stranger supplement to the
general law of nations. These peace showmen are
somewhat shifty in their grounds of arguments. They
are ready fur their opponents either at black or white.
The first thing to be done in discussing the matter is to
admit on both sides that "Peace is a tine thing." That
done, as the next step, the partisan of the Congress will
tell you that peace doctrines are either making way in
Europe or they are at a lamentable di-count. In the first
case there is every reason for persisting in a movement
which has already wet with so flsttering an encourage-
ment; on the second hypothesis, there is a reason the
more, for vigorous exertion when affairs are in such a
desperate state. Thus facts are bent to meet the views
of the peacemongers, or rather, they proceed with a
noble contempt of the facts before their faces. L may
be asked, why, since we are agreed upon the advantages
of perpetual ileac:--could it be obtained—should we
enter a protest against the proceedings of a party who
are at worst but harmless enthusiasts ? We answer,
they are not harmless, but very mischievous enthusiasts.
We find in the first resolution of the Peace Congress the
following words—"As peace alone can secure the
ineral and material interests of na;lons, it is the duty
of all Governments to submit to arbitration ail differences
that arise between them, aral to rasp:et the decisions of
the arbitrators whom they may choose." Now, admit-
tieg for argument's sake that which it would be madness
to admit in earnest, that it Would be possible to work out
in practice the spirit of this most absurd concatenation
of words, and that eagles or vultures could be' induced to
submit to the mild suggestions of a congress of ring-
doves, let us tee what would be the first result as far as
we ourselves are concerned. The nations in Europe
differing the most from us in social des-elopement need
but pick a quarrel with us upoa any given topic—we
will say a colonial one in the east, something about
Borneo, for instance—and, according to the terms of
the peace-resolution, arbitrators must be called
in, a Dutchman and a Spaniard, for example.
Should any little difference again arise between Eng•
land and Ghoolab Singh, the Czar of Russia might,
no doubt, be induced tus arbitrate upon the matter. So
on with other questions, not only as far as Eng-
land is concerned. The Government of every consider-
able people will be bound to repudiate distinctly a prin-
ciple which would place the country for whose interests
they are bound to act at the mercy of a knot of foreigners
who would bring nothing to the question but prejudices
nod interests of their own. " But," say the members of
the Congress, " we will have nothing more to do with
diplomatists, or military men, or lawyers, or any of the
old trades which have made their preth of the misery of
mankind. We, welt have men of letters and science—
men whose souls are deep in black-letter chronicles, or
vvandei leg amongst the stars, for our arbitrators. We
will tear these sublime cosmopolites away for a moment
from their folios and their spheres, and implore them to
throw one pitying glance upon the perturbations of
fretful humanity, and they shall be the oracles of the
world." Now, with all due rest ect for literary and
scientific notabilities, they are to our apprehension
the very worst persons who could be selected for
such an office. Have we not in our cellars lades of
printed vituperations, the result of the consultations
of the German Professors at Frankfort ? Would M.
Arago be a good arbitrator upon a political cpievion,
even with the assistance of a retired senior proctor from
Oxford or Cambridge? We doubt it. Things are beater
as they are. No goad will ever come of setting up a
practical falsehood as the standard of conduct for eivi•
lized Europe. Such we hold the assertion to be, that a
se stein of arbitration like that suggested by the Con-
gress is possible; or if possible, would be, of general
advantage. We are, we repeat it, as much in earnest
as the most diffuse speaker at the Congress to put a atop
to a calamity so fearful as war, but the method proposed
would have a tendency to aggravate, arid not to allay
disputes. We strongly recommend any person who
might at first be led astray by the high-sounding aspi-
rations of the Congress to sit down, and think over
carefully with himself the consequences that would flow
from submitting the interests of England to the arbitra-
tion of Foreign Powers. If half-an-hour's cool reflection
upon this point does not cure him of his admiration for
the Congress, he is past remedy, and had better set off
by the earliest train and enrol himself amongst the
wiseacres at Paris. It is of course needless for us to cull
attention to the speech delivered by M. Victor Hugo, a
report of which will be found in another portion of our
columns. It is eloquent, as anything must be that comes
from the author of Ndtre Dame, but contains nearly as
many fallacies as words. For example, the speaker was
loudly cheered when he stated that as in internal dis-
putes between the various provinces of France the Nor-
mans did not now attack the Picardians, nor the people
of Lorraine wage war against the Burgundians; and, as
in their contests the French provinces submit to the ar-
bitration of " France," so the day is near at hand when
European nations, instead of going to war, will argue
their differences before the tribunal of an united " Eu-
rope." Of course M. Victor Hugo would not fine down
his position to a mere squabble about geographical
terms, for we should certainty be compelled to admit that
Picardy does not eo nomine levy war against Normendy.
We are, however, at a loss to understand how M. Victor
Hugo could have the courage to stand up in a room in
the Chause3 d'Antin and make such an assertion,
when his audience, on sauntering home by the way of
the Boulevards, need but have cast their eyes up to
the very striking evidence of the manner in which
Frenchmen settle their internal disputes. Abstraction
made of the cries of the day, was Paris at all in a m ire
peaceful condition last year than at the wildest period of
the League or the Fronde? We notice this particular
fallacy of M. Victor Hugo's rather than any other,
because it leads us to a very striking feature in the pre-
sent condition of Europe. The Peace Congress is merely
beating the air. Wars of nation against nation are nut
thee evil of the day, but the contests between classes in
the same country. Europe is already so much governed
by the representatives of tax-payers, that an European
war is an affair of improbable occurrence. Even in coun-
tries where constitutional government is not understood,
the ruling power would be very slow, fur its own sake,
to impose taxes for the purposes of war. Europe HAS
remained at peace, althoush European society has gone
through convulsions in the course of the last five years of
which history presents no example since the breaking
up of the Roman Empire. We say this is a very remark-
able fact, and at the same time it shows pretty strongly
of how unpractical and visionary a class the Peace Cou-
gross is composed. They are not directing their efforts
against the substance, but the shadow—they are prescrib-
ing for a particular disease while the patient is dying of
its opposite. We are fanatics in the cause of peace, but
defend us from the Peace Congress!

SUPPOSED IRISH MURDERER.—The following case
was heard on Thursday last, at Cambridge, before the
Rev. W. Smith :—Anthony Timlin, from Ballintule,
county Roscommon, charged Michael Aygan, from Bal-
lymoer, county Westmeath (both Irish reapers, who had
been working at Cottenharn), upon his own confession,
whh having committed murder. From the witness's
evidence it appeared that he and the prisoner met in
London, and there. Ay•gao told him that he could not
return to his own country again, es he had shot a g---n-
-tletnan who had taken his uhcle's land, he espi,cting to
have his uncle's property at l.is death. Ile alio said it'
he could find out that the gentleman w,ts really dead, he
would go over and 1 etch enough money to carry them
both over to America. Ile dial not say who gentle-
man was, nor when the murder was coaatnittac" ; the
witness also said that he had placed some money iit.the
prisoner's hands, which he refused to return, and so he
brought this charge. The magistrate remanded the
pris-ner till the Ist of September ; and as the witness
could not tied sureties he was sent to prison also. The
prisoner said his uncle's name was Boyd, and that the
agent's name was Featherstone. It may be remembered
that last year a similar avowal of the murder of Major
Mahon was made at Peterborough, by an Irish reaper,
and he was afterwards convicted.—Bury Post.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH,- THURSDAY.—A court of ilAuiry has
been sitting to-day on board the Sphynx steam sloop,
to adjudge the blame in the matter of that ven6el
coming in cAision with the merchant barque, Qintri
of Briulin.

The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord
Adolphus Fitzelattnce., G.C.11., is expected here on Sa-
turday from Scotland, her Majesty and the Court having
determined to return to the metropolis overland.
The Encounter, screw•c,,rvette, and the Sphynx,
paddle steam-sloop, are ordered to be prepared for
officers and men.

The Myrtle steam-tender left to-day for Plymouth,
with supernumeraries from the Dse:lulus and Alarm.
The Flying Fish, 12, Commander Patey, was un-
docked to-day, after having her copper scrubbed, and
gave place to the Elfin royal dispatch yacht, Master
Commander Rilliston, to have some pipes fixed in her
bottom connected with the steam escape.
FRIDAY.—Mr. Grant, of the Clarence-yard, exhibited
this at icremon a tux ther improved cooking and distilling
apparatus, whose simplification is even more perfect then
that of those already in use on troaid her Majesty's
ships Illustrious, Arrogant, Rey nard, and Plumper.
Ttds new structure distils 3U gallons of pure aerated
water from salt per hour with the same fuel as employed
in cooking the victuals, which is d:•ne at the same tune
ter 700 nun. Vie believe this apparatus is in:ended for
the new frigate Termagant. Many naval and scientific
officers we le presi at at the exhibition of its success to-
day, and all were struck with its capabilities to accom-
plish the objects sought.
The Sphynx steam-sloop is ordered to be commissioned
at this port by Commander IL Schoenberg (1841) for
foreign service, besides whom the following officers have
b:en appointed to her:—Lieut. 11. P. de kantzow; MaB-
- T. W. Sullivan; Paymaster and Punier, E. I3.•Ro-
bins; Clerk, H. T. Rayner.
The Encounter was hauled down in readiness for the
pendant this morning.
The Flying Fish hauled off alongside the Veteran hulk
this morning._

Lieutcnaa Kaye, director of the Magnetic Observa-
tory at 'Lamm Town, Van Diemen's Land, is promoted
to the rank of Commander.

GARRISON APPOINTMENT.
The office of Town-major of this garrison is vacant by
the promotion of Captain Lyons to a Majority in the 23d
Royal Welch Fusileers. It is hoped the berth will be
given to Lieutenant O'Brien, of the 77th, who was acting
Town-major until the appointment of Captain Lyons, and
is now again doing the duty.

ROYAL MARINES.
The following premotious and appointments have
taken place, consequent on the retirement on full pay of
Captain Peter John James Dusantoy, dated the 21st of
August, 1819:

First Lieutenant Charles Ogilvy Hawley, of the Ports-
mouth division, to be Captain, and appointed to the same
division, vice Dusantoy, &c.
Second Lieutenant William Henry Worthy Bennett,
of the Plymouth division, to be First Lieutenant, and
appointed to the Portsmouth division, vice Hawley, pro-
moted.

WOOLWICH, AUGUST 24.—The Vulcan steam troop
vessel, of 1,740 tons burden, constructed of iron by Mr.
Mare, Blackwall, and fitted with auxiliary engines cf
350-horse power,! and a screw-propeller by Messrs.
George and Sir John Rennie, went down the river on a
preliminary trial at 5.10 A.M. to-day, under the charge
of Mr. Gosman, Master of the Fisgard frigate, and
having on board Captain Sir Frederick Nicolson, Cap-
tain 'l'. Harvey, Captain W. H. Stewart, Captain Rod-
ney Muridy, Commander H. Blair, Commander C. Cod-
rington Forsyth, and Lieutenant T. Tickell, R N., at
present stud) ing steam at Woolwich Dockyard; Lieute-
nant EcLapperie, of the Russian Navy, Mr. George
Rennie, Mr. Humphries, Chief Engineer, and Mr.
Trickett, As,istant to the Chief Engineer, Woolwich
Dockyard; Mr. Dinnen, Inspector of steam Machinery
Afloat; and Mr. Casey, Chief Engineer to Captain Aus-
tin's department.
The engines are on the direct action principle, and
have tour cylinders, each having a two-feet stroke, and
they are su admirably constructed and well put together
as to give a continuous action or considerable power and
great velocity, the screw-propeller making 67 revolu-
tions per minute, the screw being 14 feet in diameter,
and the pitch 16 feet 6 incites. Oa arriving at the
measured aide at Long,Reach the time was taken, and
the Vulcan accomplished the di,tance in 5.13 minutes,
with the tide, being at the rate of 11.502 knots per
hour. On ri turning against the tide, the measured
mile was run in 7.47 minutes, or at the rate of 7 709 knots
per hour, giving an average speed of 9 605 knots pi r
hour, a very sati,factory result to be obtained from
auxiliary power in a vessel of such magnitude as the
Vulcan is. The engines worked well during the trial,
and are amply protected, being considerably under the
water line. The Vulcan returned to Woolwich, where
she arrived at 7.55 A at. Mr. Stuart, the pilot, had a very
arduous tack to navigate her back, the river being so full
of vessels croi sing each other on their various tacks,
with but little wind to enable them to move, except with
the tidal current.

The. Lightning, steam-vessel, Master-Commander Pet-
ley, arrived this morning at Woolwich, from attending
on the Lorr!s of the Admiralty during their visit to the
Cnannel Islands and eastern naval ports.
The Lizard steam• vessel, Lieutenaut-Ccmmander llol-
liuworth, was paid off at this port to-day.
The Ddelainpus, 42, Commander Mason (acting cap-
tain, was paid off yesterday at Chatham, and several of
her crew passed through Woolwich to-day for Liverpool
and other ports.
NloLkey steam. vessel towed the Princess Royal to
Deptford yesterday, to be revictualled previous to the
embarkation of the company of Royal; Artillery for
Gibralrar. The Monkey also followed the Vdeal down
the river to-day during the preliminary trial of the latter
vessel.

Orders were received at this dockyard on Thursday
appointing Mr. Jenkins to the vacant storekcepership at
Devoupott, and Air. Gottlieb to that at Woolwich,
caused by Mr. Jenkins's removal, the Admiralty having
b: en pleased to make this arrangement in compliance
with the mutual preferences of these gentlemen for the
yards to which they are now respectively nominated.
CHATHAM, A cc. 24. Tne Meance, 80 guns,. Acting
Commander Inglefield, and the Melampus, 42, Captain,
Mason (acting), were paid off into ordinary on Thurs-
day, the 23d ittA. The marines, consisting of 1 lieute-
nant, 2 sergeants, and 31 privates, embarked from the
Meanee the same afternoon on board the Pigmy steam-
packet, for Portsmouth, to join the head-quarters of their
division.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD; AUG. 24.—The arrivals are limited.
The continued fine weather causes our millers to rests ict
their purchases as much as possible, and we have little
business passing in any article; good English wheat
being in few hands nearly maintains late prices, whilst
foreign continues neglected. No change in the value of
outs, shelling, or beans, and the demand trifling.

he hid the honour to repre[ friends of peace of
Liverpaol, and it was a Or deputy he addressed tha
Congress. The tint come, said he, when peace will
no- b mt-irtat e but by the people. To
what end h,s peace continued for thirty-three yelrs, if
we aye not to reduce our armies ? Au army and navy
are not the real power of a nation. What country
could attack America with only 18,000 men ? Let
France develop her natural resources, and she would
be more powerful than with tin army of half a million
of men. It is. cotnmerc-,, labour, capital that are the
sources of power. England is d,pendent for its steam
navy on the contracts which its Government forms with
the mercantile st-am navy of England. Let France
consider this. She should . make these resources of
power available, and she would find her interests im-
mensely benefited. In following a p-ac-Jul policy she
would b2corne every day more p twerful than with h-r
armies. On the vart of hi= countrymen in England, he
hailed the intercommunication of the too peoples. lie
had r ,presentel durinz twf try years in the Houle of
Commons successively a coturn3reial, a manufacturing,
and an agricultural otrnmuitity. fie could as-ure the
meeting that in all those commu-t;tios the most arnictala
feelings xiited with -regard to France. The lines of
Virgil, which once might -have been applied, are appli-
cable no longer—
Litora lien ihas contraria, 11:eta:us nir7ae,
Anna aratis."
Mr. Ewart then quoted the words of Mr. Pitt on intro-
ducing the treaty with Fr inc, in the Metre of toin-
nion,, in 1787, against the our posed foaling of heredi-
tary anitro,ity bAween France and Eaglat.d. ll:•nca-
ftrth diplomacy would not bind us together with treaties
of paper. The populations would be bound together by
treaties of the heart. Yet it was not to Frame merely
that these questions referred, but to all the human race.
It was almost too trite a citation to make, but he found •
the words on their billets of admission. lie meant the
familiar words, now European worth, of their celebrated
French poet, Beranger--
" Peuples, lormez une sainte alliance
Et connea vous lei main."
I will give you, said Mr. Ewart, a like quotation from
our Scotch poet, Barns, who wrote them more than half
a century before Bt ranger wrote his—
" Then come the day, and come it must,
For battles, wars, and all that;
When man to man the wide world o'er,
Shall brothers be for all that."
Let this sentiment be echoed alike whether it arise in
this capital of civilization or on the wore distant moun-
tains
of Scotland; and let us all say of it, in the words
of Paul Sarpi, as applied to his country—" Esto per-
petua." The lion. Speaker retired amidst loud and
continued cheers.

M. BesT-e,representative, delivered an address in
support of the principle under discussion.
Mr. COBDEN, M.P., who was. received with loud
cheers, then ascended the tribune, and spoke, in French,
as follows:—I join with all my heart in the wish ex-
pressed by one of the speakers, that we could hare one
universal language. Nevertheless, lam a little afraid
that there might be a dispute, even among the friends of
peace, as to which of the thousand dialects of the world
ought to prevail, and that oceans of ink, at least, would
be shed before it was decided. In the mean time, let
every country enjoy in peace its own dictionary and
grammar; and it is on this principle, recollecting that I
am in the metropolis of France, that I prefer to throw
myself upen the well-known politeness of a French at:-
dienc, whilst I address them a few words in broken
French, rather than be guilty of an act of foreign inter-
vention, even in the matter of laeguage. So much has
been said, and so well said, by the eloquent speakers who
have preceded me, that I do not feel it necessary to add
a word to the general argument, but I should wish to
draw your attention for a moment to the manner in
which the Governments of your country and mine
have augmented their standing armaments, in mutual
rivalry and defiance of each other. I speak only of our
navies and coast defences, for we do not pretend to enter
into competition with you in respect to your army. Do
not be alarmed, Mr. President, I am not going to infringe
upon the wise regulations of the Congress, which forbid
our alluding to the politics of the day. Unfortunately,
my grievance extends buck for many years, and im-
plicates several Ministries in both countries, for
your present Government must certainly be ex-
ems led from all responsibility in the matter.
During the lost 13 years you and we have been con•
stautly increasing our navies, adding to our coast de-
fences, enlarging our arsenals, building new basins for
steam-vessels, and constructing fresh harbours. No
sooner is the keel of another line- of-battle ship laid
down in your dockyards than forthwith fresh hammers
begin to resound at Portsmouth. A new forge has
scarcely begun to work at Cnerbourg when immediately
the sparks ate seen to fly from fresh anvils at Plymouth,
and vice versa. The consequence has been that the cost
of our navies has been increased 50 per cent, in a time of
peace. My first objection to this is its supreme folly, for
as both countries increase their naval strength in equal
proportions, neither party has gained anything by the
change, the only result being a pure waste to the amount
of the augmentation. My next objection is to the ex-
treme hypocrisy of this system, for at the very time that
all this increase of armament bas been going on our re-
spective Governments have been exchanging assurances
of mutual feelings of friendship and goodwill. It these
professions were made in sincerity and truth, where was
the necessity for more ships of war and more coast de-
fences? An individual dues not cover himself with
armour in the presence of his friends, unless indeed
he happen to be mad. But my greatest objecti n
to [these vast armament: is, that they tend to excite
dangerous animosities between the two naioi.s, and
to perpetuate fear, Leered, aed suspicion—pas-
sions which find their gratification is stinctively
in war. And here is the great reaion why this
Congress desires, in the terms of the motion now before
it. to bring the nations into a system of disarmament.
Now, low shall this be accomplished? Why, by a ach-
ing our respective Governments this little arithmetical
problem, of which in times past they seem to have been
ignorant—namely, that if two nations are both armed in
a time of peace up to a certain point, say six, they aro
not relatively stronger than if their armaments stood at
three, and that they would be equally strong relatively
if they disarmed altogether. But you, the tax payers of
France, will see that there is an immense difference to
your pockets. Do nut, however, let us deceive ourselves
with the idea that we shall easily succeed in teaching
this little arithmetical lesson to our Governments. I
speak from long experience when I say that no men are
so difficult to teach as professional statesmen. They are
so devoted to routine, and so fortified in self sufficiency,
that they do not easily believe that any wisdom exists in
the world excepting that which radiates from their
bureaus. Do you suppose, then, that they will listen
readily to the advice of this Congress? On the contrary,
they are at this moment laughing at us as Utopists, theo-
rists, and dreamers; and yet I think the result of their
system, in a financial point of view, ought to make them
more modest. I ask the Governments of Europe,
" Can you continue your present financial system for
ten years longer?" With scarcely one exception they
must answer, "No." Is it, then, Utopian on the part of
this Congress to arouse their attention to the subject—
to point to the great gulf which yawns before them—to
show that the danger of financial ruin, which they lose
sight of, is far more imminent than the risk of foreign
attack, which they as constantly dread, and so diligently
provide against ? Even in this, the lowest point of
view, as a question merely of finance, you stand justified
before the world for holding this congress of nations. It
is time that the people interfered, and the Governments
of the world ought to tender you their thanks for having
by this fraternal shaking of hands across the Atlantic
and the Channel facilitated that process of disarmament,
which is called for alike upon every principle of huma-
nity and sound policy.
The lion. Speaker was constantly interrupted during
this speech by applause, and at the close was must enthu-
siastically cheered for several minutes. He was then
called on to give the substance of his address in English,
which was equally well received.
The PRESIDENT then put the second resolution to the
meeting. which was carried enthusiastically. The Pre-
sident then stated that he would propose to defer until
to-morrow the 3d and 4th resolutions, and that he would
propose to take the 5,h, 6th, and 7th resolutions, which
would not appear to involve any discussion.
The resolutions were then put seriatim, and carried.

FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE AT THE NEW COAL
EXCHANGE.—Yesterday an accident of a frightful cha-
racter took place at the New Coal Exchange, Lower
Thames-street, City, to a man named Joseph Ramsey,
aged 2S years, Thu unfortunate man was iu the service
