complications ; and it is manifest that these pro- 1
ezedings have been approved of by the Court and
Cabinet of St. Petersburg. If any doubt could
exist on this point, it must be dispellel by the
discreditable attempts of Russia to take advantage
of the wrongs committed by her own Representa-
tives ; and the truculent circular respecting the
affairs of Naples must completely set aside any
argument that could now be advanced in favour

of the Muscovite.
, The points in dispute may appear comparatively
trivial and unimportant, and we have no doubt
that parties calling themselves Englishmen, but
having little in common with English feelings, may
be found to censure the resolution now displayed

" I told you so" is usually but cold comfort to
those who have been victimised by the arts of a
swindler ; and if we take credit to ourselves for
the repeated and emphatic warnings we addressed
to the Government, the Parliament, and the
People of the United Kingdom, it is not to en-
hance the mortification which must necessarily be
felt for the unsuspecting credulity displayed in
March, and the unwarranted rejoicings for the
ratification of the Precious Treaty, but rather to
induce them firmly and unflinchingly to insist
as the complete fulfilment of the very
moderate conditions which Russia pledged herself
to perform ; and also, to caution against any
further manifestation of confidence in a Govern-
ment that has been guilty of such unblushing
duplicity and dissimulation. At this moment
the CZAR is striving to obtain 40,000,000/. of
gold from France and England. It is said, and
we believe truly, that a contract has been actually
signed, by which a French company has stipulated
to forward, within a limited time, that enormous
amount to St. Petersburg, for the construction of
a system of military railways, which must render

important services to Russia in any new war
which future aggressions on her part may require.
Much of the capital is expected to come from
England, and we need scarcely repeat the expla-
nations already given of the monetary embarrass-
ments that must ensue from such a continuous
drain, especially if the unwise and impolitic
Bank Charter Act of 1i14.4 be still continued.
Another snare is spread for English gold, in the
project for forming the nucleus of a new Russian
War Navy in the Black Sea. Almost every
foreign project must, under existing circumstances,
be regarded with distrust, but we should especially
button our pockets against Russian applications.
We have recently seen melancholy examples
of opulent firms that have been reduced to bank-
ruptcy by intermeddling with foreign schemes.
Let our countrymen accept the warning while
there is yet time. It weuld be a patriotic act
on the part of the Committee of the Stock Ex-
change—one that would be deeply appreciated by
the great majority of the people-44 by re-
fusing their sanction to the quotation of such
matters in the official lists, they averted the misery
and distress of thousands of English families,
and prevented the tears of widows and orphans
from flowing copiously over blighted prospects
and the endurance of the bitter privations inse-
parable from hopeless poverty. They have
,an
important duty before them. Let us hope Ott
they may exercise it with the care and discretion
which its vast consequence so iruperativoly do-
, ma nds.

Reward I Lost ! some time during last session
of Parliament, or during one or all of the last
three sessions, the Great Conservative party. It
was last seen together in 1852, at Downing-
street ; but since then has been varionMly reported
as to be heard of at Knowsley Park, Hughenden
Manor, Westwocd Park, and Powick Court, and
even in certain brickfields in -Worcestershire.
Whoever will give information to BENJAXIN
D4S4AELI, Esq., which shall lead to the discovery
of the missing party, shall receive the above re-
ward on application at the Press Office, Strand.
We claim the reward. We will not exactly say
that we have found the lost party, for we have
never lost sight of it ; but we know whore it is,
and can produce it. Our neighbour, if fair to us,
will down with the money 4 if not we shall take
our revenge through Mr. ROEUME and the Ad-
ministrative Reformers ; and if we do that, the
great Conservative party may as well take a nap
for half a century or so, for there will not be
even a civil-service clerkship to conserve. A
hateful hedge of examinations will fence out the
" well-connected " noodles, and clever tradesmen's
sons will laugh at the penniless juniors of primo-
geniture pricking their fingers in attempts to get
through. Why, the great party is obvious enough
to all who know faces as well as livery. The
trimmings are changed, that is all. It was comp.

again think the Hebrew mind essential to a go-
verning body, and have a shekel embroidered on
the. collar ; others think there is nothing like a,
peer or two and Quarter Sessions magistrates, and
sport a coronet and' a sessions house.
But these are surely trifles. The great party
itself we would undertake to set before the world
by a very simple process. Just look at its votes
and its non-votes. Try it on any liberal
measure, or any tax-spending measure ; look
at those who voted steadily and dead against,

Cabinets have both been as Conservative Cabinets
as heart could wish. The difficur ty is, not to find
where the great Conservative pi 6rty is, but where
it is not.

We should advise our disconsol ate friends to
think of some good honest English name expres-
sive of the real character of the l ost party, and to
try the effect of a little ma' oly outspokenness. For
this last quarter of a car itury they have labelled
themselves with the marAdlin epithet " Conserva-
tive," a long Latin word, all very well for West-
end clubs ; but what do tensiaits at will, old free-
men, and potwallopers know about " Conser-
vatism." As li7Lely as not they never saw any
approach to tb a word except in confectioners'
shops ; or they may have heard of something like
it in the landlord's garden. The old word Tory
was something like, ; it was not an imported word
at least ; several g enerations had rallied to it, and
it sounded like tiro quintessence of loyalty and
nobleness ;—but it is gone, gone alas, with Lords
EVON and CASTLEREAGH, and buried for ever by
the Reform Bill. Suppose our friends should call
themselves the " Great Drag-chain Party"—every
farmer, every waggoner, ever cabby and omnibus
conductor would know what- that meant. The
good truthy Saxon would enter the heart as
well as the ear ; Englishmen would feel
that there was a. little pluck in saying
outright what was meant. The Drag-chain
candidate would distance the smooth-tongued
Conservative at the hustings, by more than half
a neck, we are confident. He would leave him
nowhere. Hear the two—" I'm for a judicious
Conservatism, which spares all that is valuable in
our glorious constitution in Church and State.
I'm a moderate and liberal Conservative." The
other, " I'm for putting the drag on those headlong
Ballot and Anti-Church-rate Radicals, that would
upset the good old coach we've ridden in so long
and so pleasantly. I'm the Drag-chain candidate,
and no mistake." With all our Radicalism, if we
had only the two before us, we would at least not
vote for the milk-and-water one.
And is not the Tory party merged in the great
Drag-chain party I Give it its right name, and
you see at once its strength, and its bond of ser-
vice. The popular influence, press and people
together, is very strong. It is all given to Re-
form, of one kind or another. It has achieved

several minor ones in view just now, and two
great ones in Church and State loom in prospect.

Jour Bum, will submit to a wonderful deal of
trouble, if it be but given in lawful form, and
though we are to get to the bottom of the hill at
last it is something if we can be compelled to
creep instead of gallop. This, therefore, is the
noble task of our Tories by birth, by apostacy,
or by senility. It is of little consequence whe-
ther they range themselves under DEES; or under
ABERDEEN, or PALMERSTON. They are the Drag-
chain party now and for ever. Toryism can no
more originate, create, enact ; its sole function is
to check the energy of the great out-of-doors
party. To binder their upsetting despotism, and
liberating nations by war, and their sweeping
abuses too fast fade away, in peace.

THE BLACK SEA FLEET.

It has been stated, in various quarters, that the
Sublime Porte has addressed to our Government a
remonstrance against the longer continuance of the
British Fleet in the Black Sea.

We are enabled to state that no such representa-
tion has been made by Turkey; and we repeat that,
until the complete and faithful execution of the
Treaty of Paris, the British Fleet will not be with-
drawn from the Euxine.

The points at issue, however apparently insigni-
ficant in themselves, really involve the whole prin-
ciple for which we engaged in the late war, and of.
which we obtained the full recognition in the
Treaty, signed at Paris on the too credulous sup-
position that it would be honourably fulfilled.—
Morning Post.

It affords us (Stamfcrd Mercury) pleasure to apprise
our readers that Lord Robert Cecil, M.P. for Stamford,
has kindly consented to give a lecture at the Institution
in this town on Thursday evening next, Nov. 6. The
subject selected by his lordship is the important one of
"National Education."

The Stamford Mercury says that Lady Franklin ar-
rived at Spilsby in company with the Rev. T. W. Booth,
of Friskney, on Monday last. After looking over the
house of correction, her ladyship paid a visit to the
parish church, and made choice of a suitable place
on the south side, near to the east end, on which to place
a mural monument, to the memory of her lamented hus-
band, the late Sir John Flanklin.
Amongst the latest arrivals at Raby Castle, the seat
of the Duke of Cleveland, in this county, are the Duchess
(Dowager) of Cleveland and Miss Rua- ell, Mr. and Lady
Catherine Whyte Melvil'•, General Sir R. and Lady
Clarges, Mrs. L. Fox, the Dean of Durham, Mr. H.
Milbank, Lord and Lady Alvanley, &c. Mr. and Lady

An incentive to one of the most humane and
practical reforms of the age has just made its
appearance. It comes to us in the form of an
earnest and generous argument put forth in the
shape of an excellent pamphlet* upon the "Dwel-
lings of the Labouring Classes in the Metropolis,"
by Major-General G. B. TREMENHEERE. A more
than " thrice-told tale " this—of the squalor, and
misery, and degradation associated with the
HoatEs of so many thousands of our London popu-
lation ! If that holy name of HOME can really be
applied to abodes of such habitual wretchedness.
Already we have had the lamentable particulars
doled out to us by other, and earlier, but not by
any means more energetic, promoters of the cause
than this, the latest, and perhaps for that very
reason, one of the most practical of our sanitary
pamphleteers. The benevolent Atari of SHAVES-
WRY, when Lord ASJILEY, has led us into those
horrible dens of abomination, where the vermin
rattle down upon the visitor's hat like a shower
of peas, where the 140 atmosphere can scarcer
be endured for a few seconds by those not habitu-
ated to it, where both sexes and all ages are styed
together night after night in festering masses of
dirt and rags, where all the ills in PANICLCS box
seem nested together without the faintest
glimmering of a Hope at the bottom of it
all. Dr. SOUTAVOOD SMITX has at once
consoled and horrified us by his elaborate
exposition of the "Results of Sanitary Improve-
ment." Mr. GEORCB GLOTtli. has contrasted
with frightful vividness the " Common and Model
Lodging Houses of the Metropolis." Mr. JOHN
&wax, by his authoritative "Reports relating to
the Sanitary Condition of London," may be said
in a manner to have gauged the social horrors of
the capital--eleaving us in his standard pages a
mass of wholly unparalleled statistics—according
us, let us still trust and believe, the long-desired woe
cra) from which to uproot and topple over the'Mon-
ster Evil by means of a Lever of Reform really and
truly Archimedian. It is strictly speaking in corro-
boration and epforcement of all that has been said
and done by such pioneers in the good cause as
Mr. SIMON and Mr. GLOVER, and Dr. SMITH,
and Lord SHAFTESBURY, that General TituareN-
HEERE now addresses himself to the same theme—
a theme of awful and grimly fascination. Con-
scious while so doing, as he himself here takes
occasion to acknowledge (page 7), that the work of
reformation already now some time commenced,
has actually as yet made but very little progress,
and this "Notwithstanding Sanitary Com-
missions, Acts of Parliament, and the efforts
of benevolent Associations." If as is of
course incontrovertibly the case, " much has
been done" "yet more" (not a doubt of
it) " remains to do." And in furtherance
of these still larger after-labours, in demon-
stration, and illustration, and elucidation
of this " more"—we have now submitted to us
this striking, startling, strenuously enforced argu-
ment by Major-General G. B. TREMENHEERE.
An argument, remember ! designed for the fur-
therance of the social happiness of the induatrious
classes, upon a subject spoken of by our gallant and
humane pamphleteer, very forcefully, truthfully,
and epigrammatically, as— " this matter of such im
por lance to their moral well-being and their physical
comfort." He recollects almost painfully at the
very outset of his task how another reformer (Mr.
azmoN), speaking to the public at large upon the
same theme half a dozen years ago (1850), had
asked, with a shudder, after describing the pig-
stye sleeping apartments into which so many
thousands are nightly huddled " Who can
wonder at what becomes, physically or morally,
of infants born in these bestial crowds ?" General
TREMENHEERE bears vividly in mind, moreover,
that the partial good already effected by means of
Acts of Parliament, and Benevolent Associations,
and Sanitary Commissions, and so forth, really
applies to the sanitary condition of uo more than

The Chelmsford Chronicle states that on Monday
afternoon, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, accom-
