the friend of both, earnestly to recommend to them to
onumunicate freely with each other, and to come, to
such a❑ understanding as that there shou d be no su,
picion of the contempt of authority on one side, and
no apprehension of undue influence on t i other.
RAGLAN.

Even this appeal of "the friend both" failed ;
to the last hour they were both in he Crimea the
controversy as to authority was prolonged. That,
however, is not the question just now. We simply
quote these pissages to show that the distinc-
tion asserted by Lord Lncan in his letter to Lord
John Russell, and referred to by Lord Raglan
himself in his memorandum, did practically exist
in the British army in the East ; that it was recog-
nised by Lord Raglan's staff ; that it influenced
Lord Raglan himseli'; and that the complaints of
favouritism and nepotism, which at first whispered,
became louder and more general among the British
public as the horrible sufferings of our army be.
came more fully known, were well founded ; and
the rummer in which these facts are paraded to the
public eye without any serve of their impropriety
and evil consequences, shows how much remains to
beldone by public opinion before a real and effec-
tual reform will he carried out in the British army..

THE NEAPOLITAN DIFFICULTIES.

(From the Morning Post of this day. )

Our Paris Correspondent informed us yesterday,
in the letter which appeared in our second edition,
that the French Government, unless some unforeseen
event occur, is about to recall M. Brenier and the
whole of the embassy from Naples. To this we may
now add that a similar course will, we are enabled
to state, be taken by the Queen's Government.
The whole of our diplomacy will be recalled froilri
the Neapolitan Court. We shall send, as will 'the
French, two line-of-battle ships and a correspond-
ing force of frigates. These will be the representa-
tives of the Alliance—these will protect the interests
of the subjects of both Powers—through these alone
will either communicate with the King. It will be
seen from these facts that there is no doubt of the
correctness of our Correspondent's statement. He
goes on to to add, that the last despatches of the
French diplomatist do not now hold out any
hopes of an amicable settlement of the Neapoli-
tan difficulties. In this assertion we are quite
convinced that both he and the diplomatist are
warranted by the truth. It is not likely that
the unwise and cunning obstinacy which the
King has always hitherto displayed, and iu which
he is supported by the few evil councillors
on whom he leans, should leave him suddt nly on
the arguments of England and France. It is not
likely that the doubtful mediation of Austria would
change more than the words of that unhappy
Monarch who is cursed with the domination of a
cOllll try which God has made the fairest, and which
his terrible misrule has made the most wretched, on
the face of the earth. We believe, therefore, that
there is no likelihood of a return to friendship
between the Court of Naples and those of France
and England. Wnat part these great Allied Powers
may be ultimately compelled to take in the settle-
ment of Neapolitan and of Italian affairs remains
to be determined.

The question of interference in the internal con-
cerns of foreign States, of meddling with their
misgovernment, is, without doubt, delicate and
difficult. We avoid doing this ; and, unless we
did so most strictly, unless we laid down a
broad line on the subject, we should be perpetually
at war. We allow kings and subjects, as a rule, to
settle these matters between themselves. We
merely give to the former advice which we think will
save them from the effects of the madness of the
latter when they have raised it by long perse-
verance in ill-treatment. But, when advice of this
sort is treated with scorn—when it is met by inso-
lence or evasion—when the certain consequences of
the course are such as threaten the peace of Europe,
the Great Alliance which has undertaken to keep
that peace is bound to make some effort beyond that
of using words which have been used again and
again, and have been found ineffectual.° The
Allied Powers do not interfere between the Govern-
ment and those whom it so grievously misgoverns.
That is a measure which can only be warranted by
a very extreme state of things, by the absolute ne- '
cessity of a general agreement to restore order, if it
be found necessary, by force.
We have, however, undoubtedly in such a case as
that of Naples, the right to withdraw our diplomatic
force, to decline all further communication according
to the usual forms of peace, to abstain from giving,
by our presence as a State, our encouragement and
our sanction to a policy which is ruining the fairest
country in the world, which persists in condemning
to a torture, on which we shudder to think, some of
its best and noblest citizens. No State, no man, can
accuse us of hasty dealing or precipitation in this
[natter. We have tried with the greatest care and
patience to make ourselves heard and understood
by the Monarch of a third-rate State. We have
utterly failed in all our attempts. We have awaited
calmly the effects of the mediation of another
power. That has also failed. We have nothing
left but to decline any guise of friendly relations
with a system which is abhorrent to us ; to with-
draw from all official communication with the au-
thor cf that system ; to protect our subjects and
our interests by the presence of a strong armed
force, such as can fully control any mischief that
the king of Naples may devise. A short time will
show us how that Sovereign will comprehend and
how he will act on this last and strongest argu-
ment of the Western Alliance.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.
THE TIPPERARY BANK.
Acting upon the advice suggested by some of
tho Irish jouruals, it is probable that the deposi-
tors of the ill-fated Tipperary Bank will take coun-
sel together, with a view of avoiding or staving off
the wiaolesale litigation foreshadowed in a state-
ment copied in The SUB, of Tuesday from one of the
Dublin morning papers. November term is at
hand, and a creditor of the bank warns the depoki-
tors that if the thoucAnd writs threatened should
actually be issued the cost of resistance in each
case would not ke less than 101. Last term there
were four writs issued by the Court of Common
Pleas against, four of the shareholders on a debt of
201., and gnat proceeding will in all likehood in-
crease t'Ae original debt of 201. to 2201. If the
deposit„ors, therefore, are men of common sense,
they must see the dangers which beset them at
every side, and that nothing but prompt action
can rescue them from a position even more hope-
less, than that which they held in the month of
July last. The case is almost desperate.
The following proceedings in reference to the
affairs of James Sadleir took place yesterday in the
office of the Master in Chancery :
" Mr. Galvin, from Mr. J. D. Meldon's office,
ap-
peared betore the Master to submit a statement on the
part of Mr. M`Dowell, the receiver and responaent in
the case, relative to the furniture of Mr. James Sadleir,
which had been seized, and to take the Master's direc-
tions as to how it should be disposed of ; and also with
respect to the letting of part of the lands of Kilconnel,
Ballyvelade, and Coolna,muck. The statement set forth
that a portion of the furniture was deposited in the store
of 'Alr. Thornton, auctioneer in Clonmel, and another
portion was stored in the establishment of Mr. Dillon,
auctioneer in this city ; that the furniture would be de •
teriorated in value it kpt in store longer ; that it would
be for the advantage of the estate to have it sold forth-
with ; and that the solicitor for Mr. James Sadleir had
consented that it should be sold by the receiver.
"Mr. Findlater (of the firm of Findlater and Co., soli-
citor for the pe'itioner) said that when the matter was
before the Chancellor they pointed out the benefit of
having the furniture sold, but the proposition was op-
posed by Mr. Sadleir's counsel, and the Chancellor re-
fused to make the order.

" The Master asked how he could make it if the Chan.
cellor had refused ?

"Mr. Findlater said the Chancellor had declined to
make the order because counsel on the past of Mr. Sad-
leir opposed it ; but his solicitor now consented that the
receiver should have the furniture sold, It should now
be decided whether the portion of the furniture which
was in Clonmel should be sold there, or whether it would'
be better to have it all brought to Dublin for sale. Some
of the furniture was of such a character that it would be
injured if kept in store any longer; it included a mirror
that cost 1201. There was a large quantity of plate and
jewellery wh ch had not yet been found, but they still
roped to be able to discover where it was deposited.
"The Master said he would make the order for the
sale of the furniture by the receiver in such manner as
would be most beneficial for the estate.
" Mr. Galvin said the statement also referred to por-
tions of the lands abovementioned, which had been in
the possession of Mr. James Sadleir. There was some
good winter pasturage, for which a fair price could now
be obtained, and it was suggested that it would be as
well to have it let at once. There were at Bilconnell
some large heaps of lime, and some farming implements,
which ought to be disposed of.
" The Master observed, that this property having been
in the possession or oocupation of Mr. Sadleir himself,
it was a subject for consideration whether it would be
judicious.to let the land now for grazing purposes.
" After some discussion,
"'l't a Master said that if the receiver advertised for
proposals to be sent in within ten days for the grazing of
the portion of the lands in question he would be able to
see what description of persons proposed to take them,
and whether it would be advisable to accept their pro-
posals.
"An order to this effect was made."

execution of the convict M'Cready, of the 60th
Light Infantry, says :--
" On Monday next the extreme penalty of the law,
the forfeiture of his life, will be undergone by thi
unfortunate man, who, it will be remembered, was
convicted at the last assizes of having wilfully killed
Sergeant Guinea, by discharging a loaded musket at
him, in the Fermoy Barracks. The unhappy man has,
since his sentence was pa.sed, deported himself with the
utmost propriety of conduct, attending with the most
marked attention to the religious ministrations of the
Roma❑ Catholic chaplain of the prison, who has been
unremitting and indefatigable in his exertions to afford
the convict all the consolation and comfort of religion.
M'Cready, we understand, seems reconciled to the fills
filment of the terrible sentence, and has not been heard
to speak in any harsh terms against the witnesses on
whose testimony he was convicted."
