But Russia has reflected that wars similar to that
of 1855 are not recommenced after six months'
peace, and she therefore menaces Europe at her
ease with fresh conflicts. There is in this act so
profound an exhibition of want of courtesy and
of courage that •we could never have thought the
Russian chancellerie.capable of this demonstration,
in spite of the bad opinion we ever .entertained of
the latter. We may ask ourselves what must have

In reply to some newspaper strictures, Lieut. Massey
wri &CB :
." Sir, Yon do not- know the miseries of being a herb.
'Penny-a-liners arrest your servants as they go on errands,
Arid ask where you were born, where yonavere brought up,
who was your grandfather, and who was your schoolmas-
• ter ; and some day you see a hideous biographical carica-
ture
uponhand,proof— of yourself. A daguerreotypist seizes on You—au
arotuirstd

young ladies, in prettily-folded notes, solicit your auto-
from ladies of a graver age—imaginary

aenrq
graph. You receive an overwhelming supply of tracts
poets harass you
with doggrel verses—authors of bad books send you copies
of their tiresome- works—yon are stared at in the street—
when your carriage stops, your horse is provokingly patted
on
on the nec-you are shouted at in the theatres. In fact,
comfort and privacy are at an end. Now, all this is very
well fora strong, able, idle Crimean hero who likes the
thing, and who has health and strength to bear it.
Bat it is a very different thing, if by chance the unhappy
victim, after six months lying on hia back in one position
in a Crimean hut, should return home, and wish to enjoy
quiet, and to have time to nurse 'a leg some two or three
inches shorter, and much feebler than its fellow—to think
over the precautions necessary to preserve weak lungs iu
the moist climate of an Irish coming winter, and should
have eccasion two or.three times a week to endure 4 very
ugly ceremony—viz., the insertion of a probe some eight
or ten inches into an open wound.
" For my part, I give everybody notice, that I am by no
means the man to • make a hero of, and that those that
made me so should at once repent. Much better may
easily be bad, ..The' crop is as plentiful ae blackberries.
Crimeans are everything now, are everywhere, and though
wild-looking and hirsute animals, are easily caught. rdo
not at all auswer the description. I have not.a single hair
can my upper or lower lip. I do not wear a Turkish ear
. when I travel. I never smoke tobacco. Therefore, where
others may be had for the asking, I beg to be allowed to
abdicate the honours of heroship, and to remain in quiet.
But if there is one thing worse than to be a full-blown
hero, it is to become a doubtful or disputed hero—in fact, to
he Cardimanised ; to have one side swear you are the wont
der of the age, and the other as stoutly aver that you arb
no better than a sham and a deception, both probably
being perfectly wrong. Lest I should go into this miser-
able predicament, once for ail, I beg my friends .to spare
me. I must be allowed to be the best juigo of my own
case ; and now beforehand, and in order to prevent cnn7
troversy, I give that case against my friends, and declare
their opponents must be perfectly right—not when they
distort my words and acts, but when the. 7 say I am no
hero."

KR, SERJEANT SHEB, OPINION ON
" THE HOUSE." _

Mr. Serjeant Shee was lately present at a local dinner,
given at Buckie (a thriving seaport on the north-east coast
of Scotland), on the occasion cf laying the coping-stone at
the point of the western pier of the new harbour.
Mr. Serjeant Sheet who is connected with the district
by marriage, in reply to the toast of his health at the din-
ner, said :—" When I came into the House of Commons,
I confess that my impression was very different, from
that which has lately been promulgated in Scotland. I
found it composed of orators who would have held, if not
the first rank, at least a place amongst the first in the
earlie,t annals of our parliamentary history—of statesmen
not only familiar with the interests of their own country;
but with the,power, and the iesourees of all the empires
and countries of the world—of lawyers of the first emi-
nence -- of. eminent merchants, manufacturers, and
bankers, whose mere signature would be the key to trea-
sures of wealth in every city in the known world—of a
landed aristocracy who would bear comparison in intelli-
gence, patriotism, and independence with the aristocracy
of any country on the face of the earth. My opinion of
that house, I confess, was very different indeed from that
which younger men have lately expressed of it. I found
that every man who had anything to the purpose to is:q—
ui-or, ma,n ..•ho had taken the trouble to prepare himself,
and exhibited that reasonable diffidence which all well-
bred men will exhibit when they address an assembly com-
posed of persons of education, is sure of an attentive audi-
ence, that a fairer assembly does not exist in the known
world than the House of Connisons. For the presumptu-
ous and self-sufficient, the loquacious without information
—with nothing to attract attention about them but their
presumption and their ignorance—there is no toleration,
nor ought there to be ; but to every man who has any-
thing to say to the purpose, who knows what he is talking
about, every encouragement is given by the House of Com-
mons. I have observed that the oldest members, and the
most distinguished members of that house, are those who
would be least likely to find fault with the well-meant in-
dustrions efforts of younger members to serve their coil-
stituents and do good service' to their country. They are
not the men to sneer at persons —` members who have
hobbies to ride upon ;' they are not the men to talk of
persons in terms of disrespect who do their best for the
service of their country."

CESIIIEWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STARES.—
.YouATr Wm. GRAY'S advice for the above events is
now ready. Lance for the Portland Stakes, at Doncas-
ter, and eleven other winners is something extraordinary,
but the advice on the above races will astonish all, as
1,000 to 1 can be obtained about 'the double event. I
am positive one, if both, does not come off. Recollect, I
named Mr. Sykes and Crown k'igeou last year (first and
second). Apply early, or the long price will be lust.
Terms : —To the Cambridgeshire, 7s. 6d. ; one week,
; single race, 2a. 6J. ; to the end of the season, 10s.
6d.—Address, l5, Charing-cross.
