LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1858.

Sardinia has formally appealed to France and
England on the important question of the condi-
tion of Italy. As the only State which offers a
barrier to revolution, she has called on the Western
Powers to assist in obtaining efficacious remedies
for the existing evils. Her claims to respectful
attention on this, or indeed on any point, are irre-
sistible. Bravely and nobly she stood forward w
the ally of the Western Powers in the hour of
danger and difficulty. She paused not for nice
calculations as to the most politic course, or that
by which her own interests might be promoted.
She looked only to that which her own honour
and the interests of civilisation demanded, and
once being satisfied as to what was right,
she unhesitatingly pursued the straight path,
setting a brilliant example to despicable neu-
trals and pretended friends. Heart and soul
she flung herself into the contest, and the
aid which she so nobly afforded had t no

trifling effect on the operations in the Crimea.
The jealousy of Austria was greatly excited by
proceedings which so strongly contrasted with
her own. An attempt was made to force a
quarrel, which was only averted by the extra-
ordinary forbearance of the Cabinet of Turin, and
she has since availed herself of every possible
occasion to display her petty animosity.
At the Conferences of Paris Austria pertinaci-
ously refused even to discuss the condition of
Italy. She well knew the extent of the influ-
ences operating in her favour, and availed herself
thereof to the utmost. Louis NAPOLEON, while
occupying the Roman States, could scarcely pro-
test against Austrian occupations. Se should
first extract " the beam from his own eye," or, as
our facetious contemporary Punch hath it, " draw
his own foot from the boot." Besides, the sinister
argument that the affairs of Italy should be left to
the separate disposal of the two great Roman
Catholic Powers had great weight with the EM-
PEROR of 1856—" Quantum mutatus ab jib
Hectore," who bravely stood forward two years
before in the sacred cause of right against might
—of justice against expediency.
Of the Coburg influence there was no doubt.
The matrimonial alliance with the family of Uncle
LEOPOLD, and the spirit of Germanism unhappily
so prevalent in England, prevented the adoption
of the course which honour and justice indicated.
The inconvenient topic was therefore disposed of
by a side wind, and the Congress broke up, with-
out arriving at any decided result OR the all-im-
portant question.

It now remains to be seen how the present
application will be received. There ought to be
no doubt en the point. But we have long since
ceased to place any faith in Princes, or Emperors,
or their Governments, and we shall therefore await
the result with considerable anxiety. It is need-
less to say that the evils of Austrian (aye, and of
French) occupation are opposed to the interests
a
of Italy and of Europe, and contrary to treaty,
humanity, and justice. These are truths that
cannot be controverted. But, unfortunately,
we cannot, therefore, feel any degree
of confidence that " right will be done."
According to the regulations recently established,
Parliament will hear nothing of the matter until
it has been finally disposed of, and when it is
futile 'to raise a discussion on what can no longer
be helped. If the spirit of toadyism and servility
be so strong that none can be found to protest
against these unconstitutional principles, we must
submit patiently for the present, and await a new
appeal to the country, in the hope that some few
independent members may be returned—men who
will not shrink from introducing and discussing
an unpalatable proposition. We trust, however,
that some one may still be found with sufficient
pluck to hazard an interrogatory, and to bear the
snubbing and the rebukes of the Premier, accom-
panied with " the cheers and laughter" of the
House.

The state of Italy at this moment is a serious
blot on the escutcheons of all those who arro-
gate to themselves the titles of " the Great
Powers of Europe." In almost every State--,

with one bright exception—the people are kept
down and controlled by foreign bayonets. Where
Austria interferes every pretension to decency is
dispensed with. She, very naturally, aots the part
of the despotic tyrant, and scarcely thinks it neces-
sary to consult the nominal authorities. Her will
is supreme in everything. The inhabitants are
ruled with an iron rod, and, to enhance the insult,
they are compelled to pay for the occupation which
they so bitterly resent, like the schoolboys in
" the good old times," who had to purohase the
rods with which they were to be severely casti-
gated. It may now be convenient for her to counsel
her satellites that there should be an ap-
pearance of moderation, that they should pre-
tend to virtues which they do not possess.
But it will only be for the purpose of avoiding
or retarding real reforms. Any amelioration in-
troduced under such auspices will be of the most
temporary and precarious character, not lasting
a moment beyond the exigencies that have ren-
dered them indispensable.
To arrive at a satisfactory solution of the im-
portant problem, the causes that have led to such
an untoward state of affairs should be strictly
investigated. " Melius est petere fontes quam
sectari rivulos."

It is not the petty abuses occasioned by the per-
sonal misconduct of King BOMBA or of the Sove-
reign
Pontiff, by the Governments of Parma, or
Tuscany, or the Leviathan oppressors of Lom-
bardy that are to be taken into account. The
question must be considered as a whole, and
the fairest land of the earth, that which
formerly was Mistress of the World, must, if
possible, be rescued from the misery of mis-
government and oppression that demoralises the
inhabitants, and disqualifies them for the fitting
enjoyment of the freedom and independence that
cannot long be withheld.

Sir GEORGE GREY'S brief and pedantic re-
ply to the question put by Mr. BOWYER in the
House last evening in connection with the police
outrage on Miss ARCHER supplies the key to the
entire affair. When such an evident proof of
indifference to the protection of the public and of
willingness to screen police offenders is forth-
coming at head-quarters, we can have no reason to
wonder at the frequency of public outrages, and
the difficulties thrown in the way of the subjects
of them in their search for redress. In most
constituted bodies the cue is taken by subordinate
officers from their superiors, and, given a Home
Secretary like Sir GEORGE GREY, we arrive by a
natural gradation at brutal policemen indulging in
violent assaults on helpless and unoffending men
and women. A ruffian member of the force
having this penchant, sees no reason why he
should not indulge it on every favourable oppor-
tunity. His sergeant, he is well aware, has
rather an interest in cloaking his acts of ruffian-
ism than otherwise, the inspector not favouring any
attempts at detection, knowing, as he does, such
procedure will not recommend him to the Com-
missioners, who are but too happy to snub mere
civilians, and reflect Sir G. GREY. Only listen to
that prim, pettifogging precisian, whose veins must
certainly run snowbroth instead of manly English
blood :—" He was aware a charge had been made
against a constable for an assault upon Miss
ARCHER, and he learned that on hearing the case
it was not proved against the constable, because
it appeared the constable had not been identified.
He had had no communication with the magis-
trate, for unless complaint were made in the case
it was not necessary for him to have such. No
:complaint having been made, he had no right to
suppose that anything wrong had been done ; but
t 3 a complaint had now been made, he had
considered it his duty to inquire into the
natter, and the result of his inquiries had
been that he had no right to impugn the
justice of the magistrate's decision," That is
what this Minister of Justice has to say in
relation to this dastardly outrage. Had he acted
as he should have done, the offender would have
been discovered and had his meed of punishment
awarded to him by this time. A hint e: his to
the Commissioners would have sufficed to set the
whole force engaged on the rascal's back instanter
—each member of it full of anxiety to vindicate
himself, by the detection of the real culprit, from
so degrading a charge ; instead of which we find
tccommodating inspectors, sergeants, and con-
stables swearing, not " through a stone wall,"
but something less feeling, through one another
to screen him. Was there ever a more disgraceful
miscarriage of justice ? Nobody doubts that the
issault was perpetrated, and there is every reason
to believe the rascally offender could, as he ought,
have been discovered by the police them-
selves, had any desire for his detection existed on
their part and that of their superiors. But the
friends of Miss ARCHER find themselves baffled
and unable to obtain hitherto that redress which
the force itself should have been the first and
most effective instrument to secure. Henceforth,
unless the affair be seriously taken up, our do-
mestic HAYNAUS will know where to seek for im-
munity in the indulgence of their passion, and
unless the better-disposed members of the force
look to it the word " Policeman" will be counted
synonymous with " woman-beater." The entire
affair is but another proof how we are governed,
and how dangerous it is to arm a Sir GEORGE
GREY at the Home Office with any further power
by means of an extension of such a force !

WORTHY OF IMITATION !!!

NO ILLUMINATION.

The Town Council of Oxford met yesterday, and
decided by 19 votes to 11 not to have an illumina-
tion for the " precious Peace."

DEPARTURE OF BARON BRUNOIT. His Excellency
Baron Brunow having performed the object of his mis-
sion to this country, in delivering to her Majesty the
Queen an autograph letter from the Emperor Alexander
11. of all the Russias, announcing his accession to the
Imperial Throne, will leave town this afternoon on his
raturn to Frankfort-sur-Maine, where his Excellency in-
tends making a brief sejour. The reception accorded to
the Baron by her Majesty has been precisely that which
might have been anticipated from his Excellency's well-
earned popularity in this country. General the Hon.
Charles Grey, Equerry to the Queen—an old personal
friend of Baron Brunow —has been charged to proceed
to St. Petersburg on Monday next, bearing an autograph
letter from her Maje.ty to the Emperor Alexander.
In both Houses of Parliament last night the message
from the Queen recommending a pension of 1,0001.
a-year to Sir William Williams was taken into consi-
derationi and unanimously adopted.

A meeting of the Southampton Chamber of Commerce
takes place next week, to take into consideration the
question of making Southampton a foreign letter-sort-
ing station.
The balance sheet of the [National Bank for April,
1856, has been published, and by it we see that the
metallic stock of that institution is but 2,500,0001
larger than it was in the preceding month. The bank-
notes in circulation amount to 370,273,094f15., which
is almost 4,500,000f15. more than in March.
MINING INTELLIGENCE.—There is very little change
to notice in the aspect of the mining market since
our last ; but, if anything, business has been more
and prices, with one or two exceptions, have
ruled lower. Dividend stock show more heaviness than
some of the progressive mines.—From the Mining
Journal of this clay.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Con- I
sort honoured the Haymarket Theatre, yesterday even-
ing, with their presence. In attendance were the Hon.
Mary Seymour, the Hon. Emily Cathcart, the Earl of
Caithness, Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey, and
Captain Du Plat.
ROYAL VISIT TO THE TURKISH EMBASSY.—The visit
of a Sovereign to the house of an Ambassador is always
regarded as an act of eminent distinction ; when, there-
fore, we announce that, on Tuesday, the 27th inst., her
Majesty will honour his Excellency M. Musurus, the
Turkish Ambassador at the Court of St. James's, with
her presence at a ball to be given at the residence of the
Embassy +Bryanston-square, it will readily be under-
stood tha oh a visit will be considered, not merely in
the light o a return for the compliment paid by his
Imperial master to the LBritish representative by his
most unusual presence at a ball given by Viscount
Stratford de Redcliffe, on the banks of the Bosphorus,
but also as an almost singular instance of personal good
feeling on the part of the British Sovereign towards the
Ambassador himself and Madame Musurus.—Morning
Post.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.--Once more the long file
of carriages in the Haymarket and Regent-street--once
more the well-remembered throng of the " crush room"
—once more the crowding at the pit entrance. The
" Old House" re-opens to-night ; its walls will again
resound with the strains of Rossini—its echoes again
ring with the notes of Alboni. To-night we shall see
that roast and brilliant sweep of boxes filled with the
highest and gayest, tier upon tier. Fairy land will be
revived on the stage ; the ballet spring to sew life and
new glories. To Mr. Lumley, whose liberality and
energy work those wonders, a welcome, warm with old
recollections, will no doubt be given—an earnest of the
support which his enterprise deserves.
SHERIFF OF LONDON.—We are informed that at a
Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen, held at Guildhall
on Monday, John Joseph Mechi, Esq., of Tiptree-hall
and Leadenhall-street, was nominated as sheriff for the
ensuing year.
At an agricultural meeting in Ayr, last week, Mr. J.
H. Maxwell, the secretary of the Highland and Agricul-
tural Society of Scotland, stated that the entries of stock
fr,)m Scotland for the great show about to be held in
Paris were 175. He also stated that Scotland had en-

tered more stock than England and Ireland together.
THE BLACK SEA.—Letters from Constantinople, of
the 27th ult., state that the commercial vessels had
already begun to navigate the Black Sea, and a regular
line of steamers had commenced plying between Con
stantinople and Odessa. The works commenced at the
Salina mouth of the Danube to clear away the sand and
stones were being actively proceeded with. About a
foot and a half had been already cleared away, and the
intention was to go three times that extent deeper.

INTENDED SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS IN YORKSHIRE.
—The Leeds Mercury states that, with a view of obtain
ing reliable data relative to the influence of different
levels and kinds of soils upon the progress of vegetation,
it is intended by some resident naturalists and agri-
culturists to make this year a series of observations upon
Vie dates when the ordinary cultivated crops ripen in as
many different parts of North Yorkshire as practicable.
LADY FRANKLIN.-Mr. Henry Grinnell, in America,
has received a letter from Lady Franklin, in which she
ex-presses a desire that Dr. Kane should visit England
for the purpose of taking charge of another Arctic expe-
dition. She still hopes that some survivor of Sir John
Franklin's party may be found living among the Esqui-
maux, from whom might be obtained the particulars
of her husband's fate. She proposes to fit ont a pro.
peller at her own expense, and give the command to Dr.
Kane.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY.—The Submarine

Telegraph Company, being desirous of laying down a
second cable to France, in addition to the cable esta-
blished between Dover and Calais, Sir James Carmichael,
Bart., the chairman, and Mr. Andrews, the superinten-
dent of the company, have been getting up petitions in
Southampton in favour of the company's project. The
mayor and corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, the
Commission of the Port and Harbour, and the bankers,
ruerchantg, and traders of the town, have all signed peti-
tions i❑ favour of the company's memorial to the Em-
peror. The company propose, should tire Emperor grant
the prayer of the memorial, to lay the cable this autumn.

SCULLERS' MATCH.—A'scullers' match,
which is creating considerable excitement, has been
made between Mr. A. Wentzell, the boat-builder, of
Lambeth, and Mr. Ralph, oar and scull maker, of Lam-
beth. They are to row one mile, from Westminster-
bridge to Vanxball-bridge, on Wednesday next, the 14th
instant, the start to take place about six o'clock in the
evening ; the losing part of the stakes to be spent in a
dinner for a dozen gentlemen, Mr. Wentzell giving Mr.
Ra'ph (win or lose, the invite). The betting has been
6 to 4 on Mr. Ralph, but the odds do not now seem
to be so great. Mr. Ralph is training under the vetera❑
Noulton, who is indefatigable in his endeavours to
make his man a winner.
APOTHECARIES' HALL.—Names of gentlemen who
passed their examination in the science and practice of
medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs-
day, May 8 :—Joseph Turton, Staneley, Windermere ;
Thomas Fawthorp, Halifax ; William Henry Hatfield,
North Bierlev, near Bradford ; Michael Tout Leamon,
Tavistock, Devon.

THE WALPOLE ISLANDERS.—On Whit• Monday a most
interesting Exhibition opens at St. Martin's Hall under
this title. It consists of a party of Indians and squaws
from Lake Huron, Upper Canada, headed by the chief
of the island Petoekeshich, who, it will be remembered,
volunteered his services, and those of his chosen warriors,
to proceed with the proposed Canadian battalion. Pe-
toekeshich is well known by the Canadian press as a
loyalirt, and wears a medal given to his father by
Geor4e the Third for services rendered in the late wars.
Ha is an orator of no mean order, and is idolised by his
people. Ho comes to. England to sue at the feet of their
Great Mother (the Queen) for the amelioration of cer-
tain regulations regarding the islanders.
THE GREAT MATCH BETWEEN JOHN MACKINNEY AND

HENRY KELLY FOR 2001.—This great race, upon which
the championship of the Thames is expected to hinge, is
now the leading theme of conversation in rowing circles,
and much diversity of opinion exists regarding the merits
of the men. Bath have been taking great care of them-
selves, and are in the very best possible condition, and
should they continue so up to the day of the race
(Thursday, the 22d of May), there is no doubt there will
be a first-rate struggle. The whole of the stakes (2001.)
are to be completed on Thursday night at Mr. Salter's,
the Feathers, Wandsworth, where Kelly is in training.
Messrs. Searle, as also Phelps and Salter, have engaged
fast steamers to accompany the race, which is from
Putney-bridge to the Ship at Mortlake.

A lIINT ;OR LORD CARDIGAN.—A correspondent of
the Times writing from Constantinople says—At the
present moment, when the Military Commission assem-
bled at Chelsea is engaged in sifting the evidence in sup-
port of the alleged mismanagement of our Cavalry Bri-
gades during the memorable winter of 1851 and 1855,
and when the condition of our Light Cavalry after the
reconnaissance under Lord Cardigan to the Dobrudscha
I is still fresh in our recollection, the following facts may
be interesting :—A regiment of Turkish Light Cavalry
has very lately been added to the cavalry division of the
Turkish Contingent, at present quartered at Bujuk-
Tchekmedje in this neighbourhood, and, after a march
of 41 days, this was its effective state on joining head-
quarters. In a total strength of 859 horses there was
but one sore back, no lame or sick horse, and only seven
sick men ; and neither horse nor man left behind on the
line of march ! This regiment has been actively em-
ployed during the last 12 months at Eupatoria, whence
it only landed at Sizeboli in February last, since which
time it has been to Tultscha, on the Danube, and has
twice crossed the Balkan in the months of February and
March. Its condition, both in regard to men and horses
on reaching Bujuk Tehektnedge after this long and
harassing march was admirable, though it had come
from Adrianople by forced marches, and had not been
halted for a day's rest on the road.
EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SERVICE.—The Rev. J. C.
M. Bsllew, Bengal Ecclesiastical Establishment, has
been permitted to resign. Captain J. C. Fitzmaurice,
Bengal 17th N. 1., has been allowed to retire from the

a cadet of infantry, subject to the usual conditions, on
the Madras Establishment. Mr. Walter Woedroffe
has been appointed a volunteer for the pilot service
on the Bengal Establishment. Messrs. R. Carey, C.
Forster, and W. Collingwood (mates), and Mr. T. C.
conolly, purser, Bombay Naval Establishment, have
been permitted to return to their duties, and appointed
officers of the H. C. steam-vessel Coromandel, on her
voyage to Madras. Mr. H. T. Eaton has been appointed
captain's clerk, Indian Navy, on the Bombay Establish-
ment. Mr. NV, H. James, who passed his examination
at the competition for assistant-surgeons in January last,
has been appointed to the H. C. steamer Coromandel,
on her voyage to Madras.--Smith and Elder's Overland

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY It), 1856

TEE CIRCA.SSIANS AND THE PEACE.

A Hertfordshire Incumbent writing to the Times
says :—" It is so congenial to the temper of an
Englishman to side with the weaker party in a
quarrel, without stopping to inquire into the merits
of the case, that no one ought to wonder at the
regret which has been expressed for the exclusion of
the Caucasian mountaineers from all mention in the
treaty of peace.

" But the fact is that, when we get on the sub-
ject of Circassia," we are very apt to give the ima-
gination play at the expense of facts. We group
together under one name a number of clans who
really have little in common with one another ex-
cept a daring spirit, and very loose notions on
the subject of property in flocks and herds,
horses, and female children. They are of differ-
ent blood, speak different languages, and are by
no means accordant even in religion. In the
western part of the range—the part to which your
Co nstan tinop oli ta n correspondent of to-day
would appropriate the name of Circassia—there
is a considerable mixture of Sclavonic, and also
of Nogay Tartar blood ; there are also, to-
gether with the general prevalence of a liberal
Mahomedan creed, many remains of fetish-worship
grafted upon a degenerated Christianity ; while, in
the eastern part (Schamyl's country) descendants of
the subjects of Nadir Shah are united together by
the bond of Islamism in its most intolerant form.
Between these are Ingushes, Kabardians, and Os-
setians, more or less under Russian influence, and
some altogether Christianised. Yet all these are,
in popular language, supposed to belong to one
nation, and called Circassians.'
"Historical parallels always require some allow-
ance ; but a tolerably correct general notion of the
political development of these people will be formed
by comparing them to the Hebrew tribes during
the era described in the Book of Judges, or to the
Swiss mountaineers before the confederation of the
three old cantons. If the pressure of external
peril wen withdrawn the greater part would
speedily resume the character which they have
maintained for more than 2,000 years—that of rob-
bers by land and pirates by sea. No doubt they
are brave, generous, and endowed with a high phy-
sical and mental organisation. But so are the
African Caffres. the Asiatic Kurds, and the Be-
douin Arabs. All are noble specimens of the bar-
barian, and nothing more.

"That an important impulse may be given to the
social development of the Circassians on the Black
Sea by means of commercial intercourse with
Western Europe we may fairly hope, and also that
no greater interference with them may be neces-
rary than what is involved in a strong police for the
security of traders. More than this a discreet Go-
vernment will be very slow to attempt, and we
may be thankful that the task of attempting more
had not been forced upon us. If the protectorate
of the eastern coast of the Euxine is the only thing
wanting to make Englishmen hail the present peace
with joy, let them be assured that they are lucky
enough to have got the pot of ointment without
the fly in it."

day.]

SARDINIA AND AUSTRIA.

IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION TO THE
CHAMBERS AT TURIN.
TURIN, MAY 9.
The memorandum presented by the Count de
Cavour and the Marquis de Villa Marina to the
Chambers, shows—

That Austria having, at the Conferences, refused
to discuss the condition of Italy, Sardinia, as the
only State which offers a barrier to revolution,
demands the co-operation of England and France
in carrying out reforms.
It shows that the evils of Austrian occupation
are opposed to the interests of Italy and Europe,
and contrary to treaty, humanity, and justice.
Finally, the memorandum calls on England
and France to unite with Sardinia in the applica-
tion of efficacious remedies.

EVACUATION OF THE DANUBIAN
PRINCIPALITIES.
PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING.

A telegraph from Vienna announces, on autho-
rity, that General Coronini has formally notified
to Prince Ghika the approaching evacuation of
the Danubian Principalities, 11. the Austrian
troops, within a period of six months.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

The Moniteur of to-day announces the departure
of General Ney for St Petersburg, with the answer
of the Emperor Napoleon to the letters of the Czar,
announcing his accession to the Throne, and to that
containing the felicitations on the birth of the Im-
perial Prince—both which communications were
presented on the 29th April by Count Orloff.
There is another fact, however, of which the Moni-
teur makes no mention, and that is, that General
Ney is said to be the bearer of a longjetter from the
Emperor to the Czar, giving a full explanation of
the reasons which induced France, England, and
Austria to conclude the Treaty of the 15th April,
unknown not only to Count Orloff, but to every
one else except the parties whose signatures are
affixed to it. It remains to be seen whether the
Czar will be satisfied with these reasons ; he will
hardly be so if they are only those given to Count
Orloff, which do not appear to have satisfied him ;
but he cannot help himself, and his hold on Austria
is now completely lost.
_

Count de Haizfeldt, envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary of the King of Prus3ia,
had an audience of the Emperor yesterday, and
delivered to his Majesty an autograph letter from
his Sovereign, and the insignia of the Order of the
Black Eagle.

By a decree in the Moniteur, Count de Morny,
President of the Legislative Body, is named am-
bassador extraordinary to the Emperor of all the
Russias.

The Moniteur publishes a decree promulgating
a bill granting supplementary credits which were
recently voted by the Legislative Body and sanc-
tioned by the Senate.

The following telegraphic desptches have been
received to-day :

" COPENHAGMT, May 7.—The proposition of M.
Monvad that a revision of the constitution should
be made by a commission has been rejected by 37
votes against 26. The proposition was withdrawn."
" MADRID, May B.—The first bases of the law on
the press have been approved of. The presence of
Marshal Espartero excites the greatest enthusiasm
in the provinces. Nothing has yet been decided
on relative to the dissolution of the Cortes. Every-
thing is tranquil at Barcelona and at Valencia."
