and in the Bay of Naples too, within ten days after
passing the Dardanelles.

Surely, then, if the threat above alluded to has
been made, it would not be wise to risk a collision
between this fleet and our half dozen ships of the line
only—even though we might be aided by the French
Admiral and his three or four ships.
The Russian fleet is commanded by one of the most
active and energetic officers in the navy—Admiral
Count Lazareff, who was seven or eight years a mid-
shipman in our service, and was, I believe, flag lieu-
tenant to Count lleyden at the battle of Navarino.
These facts it is to be hoped that Lord John Rus-
sell and Sir Charles Wood will at once become ac-
quainted with, in order that they may see the pro-
priety of stopping the farther reduction of our fleet.
October 14. BRITANNICUS.
LORD MORPETH'S. FAREWELL

ADDRESS TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.
The Earl of Carlisle (late Lord Morpeth, M.P.
has addressed the following letter to the electors
the West Riding of Yorkshire :
" Castle Howard, Yorkshire, Oct. 20.
" Gentlemen,—l do not purpose to obtrude upon
you the sorrows of a private home, but I cannot forget
that they involve the termination of the political con-
nexion which it has long been an honour and happi-
ness for me to hold.

"For the space of 18 years, with one interval, and
upon no less than ten occasions, has,it been my good
-fortune to be elected by you as your representative,
in conjunction, at the earlier periods, with the elec-
tors of the whole county of York, whom, on account
of many common interests and many common favours,
I could almost wish to be allowed to associate with
you in the terms of my present respectful and grate-
ful farewell.

"It was to be expected that, during so extended a
time of service, comprising the agitation of ques-
tions which stirred the depths of almost every politi-
cal, social, and religious feeling, I must occa-
sionally have found myself obliged in my views to
disappoint the wishes, and in my public conduct to
act at variance with the convictions of successive
classes of my constituents. Neither can I fail to be
apprehensive that my tenure of bearing offices unde r
the Crown during the larger cordon of my represen-
tative service, must necessarily have often unduly
curtailed the attention which I should have wished to
devote to their important local concerns. I never
yet, however, found them inclined to put an uncandid
construction on my motives or my proceedings; and
I trust that I may bear with me, during the remain-
ing portion of my life, the assurance of their indulgen t
estimate of the past.
" It will always be a source of unmixed pleasure
to me, if any future opportunities should present
themselves, for showing that my gratitude to them is
not a superficial or transitory feeling.
" Having just returned from paying the sad offices to
the dead, I wish to devote to you, gentlemen, the last
signature of a name, which I unaffectedly feel has
derived its chief illustration from its connexion with
you.—Your ever grateful servant,

" MORPETH."
