that long range which, when it was first talked of
by poor Captain WARNER, was regarded by many
as something synonymous with the pulling of the
long bow. War, in point of fact, is as different
now-a-days from what it was during the campaigns
of the Great NAPOLEON, as it was during that first

There has been too muchsaid, however, about the
extraordinary facilities afforded for an invasion of
these shores by the advance by sea and by land of
these wonderful modern improvements. It has been

forgotten that what has been lost by us on one side
has been gained by us on the other. If the Channel,
for example, can now be passed over rapidly, and,
at the same time, independently of wind and
weather, by a war fleet conveying an army of in-
vaders against us from the shores of the European
continent, have we on our side no compensative
advantages ? Let our intelligent correspondent
" Nautilus " answer, through one pertinent frag-
ment of his recent communication. "No doubt,"
he wrote to us on the 18th, " that, since the intro-
duction of propulsion by steam, great facility is

BADEN-BADEN, JUNE 22.

It is now an incontestable fact that the Prince of
Prussia particularly insisted on the presence of the
reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha at the inter-
view of the German Sovereigns with the Emperor
of the French.

The Prince Regent insisted upon the Duke's
presence, because, as a German Sovereign who is so
intimately connected with the Royal Family of
England, he could, having been a witness, inform
the Court of St. James's of all that passed in that
interview, and would be enabled to state that the
interview in question, far from being a subject of
mistrust for the other great Powers, was a fresh
guarantee for the peace of the whole of Europe.

= given to an invading force coming by sea." Add-
ing, " But I firmly believe that, as the like advant-
age is possessed by the ships of the country to be
defended, there is little or no gain to the invaders
now, as compared with the time when both fleets
had to depend only on the wind for locomotive
power, whilst the rapid transit by railway, and
speedy communication by electric telegraph, would
secure the concentration of a large opposing force,
much more rapidly than troops could be disem-
barked, even if unopposed in landing—which im-
munity would scarcely be accorded to them. Taking
all this into consideration, we may safely rest as-
sured that to effect a successful invasion of our
shores would be even more difficult than it was
prior to the introduction of steam." Now, this is
no mere idle phantasy. It is a simple, rational,
perfectly comprehensible calculation. At the same
time—it is incumbent upon us that, while this is
undoubtedly so, we on our part should keep pace
with a proportionate increase of energy with the
expansion and multiplication of these same won-
drous improvements. And it is precisely this that
we are actually now doing. It is because of our
energetic determination not to be outstripped by
any contemporary Power in this grand modern era
of scientific improvement that we are spending,
during a single year of peace, £30,000,000 upon
our war establishments ! That we are rifling all
our cannon ! That we are reconstructing our
navy ! That we are organising a national guard
among our civilians, under the name of the Rifle
Volunteers ! That we have been overhauling our
gunboats! That we have been industriously fabri-
cating floating batteries ! That—still maintaining
intact our alliance with France—we have sum-
moned a noble Channel Fleet once more into exis-
tence! Let us not slacken these great efforts.
Let us rather be heartened in them by the recol-
lection of what Mr. COBDEN himself has admitted,
that for every two war vessels possessed by France
we should take care to have at least three—so as to
keep up the numerical preponderance that is essen-
tial for the maintenance of our maritime supremacy.
Upon that supremacy our existence as one of the
great ruling powers of the world is dependent.
Should we now lose that supremacy our vast colo-
nial empire would fall asunder, the imperial sceptre
of England would crumble to dust within the grasp
of the Sovereign, the cegis of our dominion would
be penetrable to the thrust of the invader's sword,
the palladium of our rights would be irretrievably
lost or irreparably shattered. Britannia would be
but a name—and the world would hold in our re-
gard little more than the memory of our wondrous
ripartite constitution.

BERNE, JUNE 22.

In view of an approaching Conference on the
annexation of Savoy, the Federal Council has con-
fidentially proposed to the great Powers a new
combination, to be substituted for the stipulations
of Article 92 of the final act of Vienna.

The proposition of the Federal Council com-
mences by stating that, after the annexation of
Savoy to France, the neutralisation of Faucigny
and Chablais would be of no practical use whatever
for the maintenance of the neutrality of Switzer-
land. In order to attain this object, Switzerland
claims such a porti)n of territory as might be tra-
versed in a two hours' march, and which, sur-
rounding the Lake of Geneva, would form a bul-
wark between Switzerland and France. The Swiss
diplomatic agents abroad are charged to recommend
' a similar combination for adoption by the Great
Powers, and more especially by England, who has
already taken the initiative in a similar proposal,
but which demanded a far more considerable ter-
ritorial cession.

MARSEILLES, JUNE 21.

The following advices from Constantinople to
the 13th inst. have been received here, and are for-
warded under reserve :

" Sanguinary disturbances had taken place in
Albania. The dragoman of the Austrian Consulate
had been assassinated at Scutari.

" The Albanians, in virtue of their privileges,
dating from the time of Iskander (Alexander), had
refused to pay the taxes or to contribute to the
conscription, both of which the Christians refused
to bear alone.

"It was rumoured that a despatch had been re-
ceived announcing the outbreak of an insurrection
at Smyrna and the assassination of public func-
tionaries, but the correctness of this news was
doubted.

" The Grand Vizier had arrived at Schumla.
On his journey thither he dismissed or imprisoned
several Turkish and some Greek functionaries for
abuse of their authority.
" The Porte had sent Vely Pasha to Beyrout as
Extraordinary Commissioner, in order to institute
an inquiry.

" Namick Pasha had been appointed commander
of the forces in the Lebanon, to which district two
steamers were to have transported troops, but want
of money caused the project to be abandoned.
" The army was exasperated at not having re-
ceived its arrears of pay, and a military revolt was
apprehended.

The painful case which has occupied the Court of
Queen's Bench for the last few days, is at length
happily brought to a close, much to the satisfaction
of the public, and to the well established honour of
Lord LLATa OVER. Of the plaintiffin the case we shall
say nothing in aggravation, further than quoting
the remarks of his able counsel, Sir FITZ ROY
KELLY, who said that " the plaintiff was entirely
innocent of the charges preferred against him ; at the
same time he must say he had been guilty of acts
of such a grave character that justified many of
the rumours that prevailed, and the noble defen-
dant was not at all to be blamed, from his position
in society, for pursuing the course he had done.
The learned Judge agreed with Lord LLANOVER
that he was justified, from the rumours in circula-
tion, for taking the course he had adopted, and
said there was no blame whatever on his
Lordship's character, in which we, and, we have
no doubt the public will cordially agree. Lord
LLANOVER'S character and political tendencies are
beyond all praise. We heartily wish he could in-
noculate many of his old (new) compeers with a
little of his own liberal views.

" The Ambassadors had concerted and sent iden-
tical instructions to the different consuls in Syria,
in order to prevent fresh disasters.
" 1,500 houses had been burnt in the Turkish
quarter of Constantinople."

Accounts from Genoa state that the circumstances

ture took place between the Isle of Elba and Pianosa.
The American Consul at Genoa has sent a report on
the subject by telegraph to the United States Am-
bassador at Naples.

BEAL V. THE HON. AND REV. R. LIDDELL, 111. A•, IN-
CUMBENT OP ST. PAUL'S, KNIGHTSBRIDGE, AND ST,

BARNABAS, PIMLICO, AND OTHERS.-IMPORTANT

JUDGMENT.
His Grace the Archbishop of York, Lord Kingsdown,
Sir Edward Ryan, Sir J. T. Coleridge, and the Lords
Justices Knight Bruce and Turner sat in the Council
Chamber, Downing-street, this morning, for the purpose of
hearing an application from Mr. James Beal, in reference
to a monition from the Judicial Committee, directed to Mr.
Parkes and Mr. Evans, who were chapel wardens of St.
Barnabas at the time it was issued, ordering them to re-
move certain articles, such as crosses and other ornaments,
from the church. That order was not carried out, all the
objectionable ornaments still remaining.
Mr. Stephens, Q.C., who appeared for Mr. Beal, asked
the Judicial Committee to amend the monition by striking
out the names of the churchwardens, Messrs. Parker and
Evans, and allowing it to go to the present churchwardens.
He argued at considerable length that the Judicial Com•
mittee clearly intended that the monition should go to the
churchwardens as a corporation, and he now sought from
the Council as aflirniation of that view.
Lord Kingsdown, after consulting the other members of
the Council, said they ware of opinion that the monition
should be amended in the way prayed for, and granted the
application.
This is a triumph for Mr. Westerton's party, many of
v.h(An. were in court during the proceedings.

The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by
the Princcss Alice, the Prince of Wales, and the Count of
Flanders, honoured the Duke and Duchess of Wellington
with a visit at Apsley house on Wednesday evening.

QUARTER-DAY.-But there are parts of the
country where quarter•day means more than this, where
sales of furniture abound when removals are going on. In
those primitive districts people are not apt to be very pros-
perous, and they are apt to drink and get into debt when
they are not prospering. To be " sold up" is the natural
consquenee, and sales are almost as much a matter of coin !,*
as quarter-day. There is the auctioneer's voice, and the
tap of his hammer. as he stands, on a table on the green, or
under some spreading tree. There are the rows of house
wives and gossips on benches, sometimes buying very
bad bargains, and always held by enchantment the long
day through. There are the gentry—young. ladies and their
brothers, or old gentlemen—stopping their horses as they
ride past to speak to some acquaintance, or to see how much

DINNER TO M. DE LA RIVE, TILE
SWISS MINISTER.

Yesterday evening the Swiss residents in London
gave a handsome entertainment at the London
Tavern to M. Auguste De La Rive, the accomplished
man of science and diplomatic representative of the
Swiss Confederation here, whose exertions to vindi-
cate the interests of Switzerland in the matter of
the annexation of Savoy to the French Empire have
entitled him to the esteem and gratitude of his fel-
low-countrymen. The shield and banner of the
Confederation were displayed in the room. The
chair was occupied by Mr. Rapp, the Swiss Con-
sul-General. About 200 gentlemen were present.
The health of her Majesty was first drunk, and
then the health of the President of the Swiss Con-
federation, and of the members of the Federal
Council. The national song, "Rufst du mein
Vaterland," to the air of our " God save the
Queen," was performed by a numerous choir of
amateur vocalists.
Mr. A. STRECKEISEN, the Vice-Consul, then pro-
posed the health of the Minister, M. de la Rive,
alluding to his scientific reputation, and the delicate
mission which he had accomplished with patriotic
zeal and ability.
M. DE LA RIVE replied, not taking the compli-
ment personally to himself, but to the Swiss Con-
federation which he represented. Throughout all
the little republics that composed Switzerland,
there was a perfect unity of spirit. Though the
Swiss cantons spoke three languages, German,
French, and some Italian, they had a corn
mon language of the heat; and he almost regretted
they had not a fourth literary language, namely,
that of free and generous England, where the Swiss
colony now assembled in that room had met with
so much sympathy in their jealous maintenance of
the rights of their native country. (Cheers.) The
Swiss cantons stood, indeed, according to their old
motto, " each for all, and all for each." The people
of a small country ought to be most susceptible
with regard to its honour. Twenty-two years ago
a neighbouring Government, which was ordinarily
friendly, wished by menaces to compel Switzer-
land to renounce the right of hospitality in the case
of a prince who was then proscribed. The whole
Confederation then rose with the greatest enthusiasm
to defy that menace. Again, in 1856, the entire
Confederation gathered itself together on the Rhine
to resist a powerful enemy who would have em-
ployed force to impose demands incompatible with
the sovereignty of Switzerland; but the power
which was then their adversary, filled with
esteem for the honourable conduct of the
Swiss, was now to be reckoned among the best
defenders of their rights; and if Prussia had now
forgotten her anger, Switzerland would never for-
get her generosity now. (Cheers.) Switzerland in-
deed was not so presumptuous as to repel friends ;
on the contrary, she sought them ; but she re-
pelled protectors, because they would soon become
masters. The question which had now brought
him to England was one of independence. In giv-
ing to Switzerland the precious gift of a perpetual
neutrality, the Allied Powers did not mean it should
be a passive neutrality, depending on the good will
of her neighbours, but an active neutrality, which
she could defend for herself. The former was inde-
pendence, but the latter was dependence. As a
bulwark of that neutrality, and to render it more
efficacious, it was extended to a neighbouring cowl-.
try, Swiss by nature and by history, the valleys
and Alps of the north of Savoy. Whatever might
be its fate, that country would always be associated
with the idea of Switzerland, for the rocks of Meil-
leraye recalled the name of Rousseau, a native of
Geneva; and the summit of Mont Blanc was first
explored by Saussure, who was doubly a Swiss,
being Vaudois by family and Genevese by birth.
An event equally unexpected and funeste had now
deprived Switzerland of the guarantee which was
fixed for her in the neutralisation of Northern
Savoy. The appeal of Switzerland, moved by
this danger, had been made to the guaranteeing
Powers, while she prepared herself for every
eventuality. It was especially in England that
generous and friendly voices had been raised
on her behalf, and even by the Ministers
of the Crown in Parliament. Nevertheless, the
fact was now accomplished. It was useless to dis-
semble or conceal that this was a defeat for Swit-
zerland. But it was only an outpost gone ; the
Swiss territory yet remained intact. The Swiss
must now be watchful, and keep up their action on
the Powers of Europe which guaranteed their inde-
pendence, and on England especially, by the media-
tion of the Swiss colony here. The nation which
felt so much enthusiasm for Garibaldi would feel
the same for the defenders of the S wiss Confedera-
tion.
The toast of " The Federal Army" was proposed
by M. C. CLAVEL, and acknowledged by Captain
KESII.
" The Health of M. Naville," the Secretary of
Legation, was also given, and in responding to this,
he bore testimony to the favourable countenance
shown by the British Government to the just de-
mands of Switzerland, which had also been advo-
cated by speakers in both Houses of Parliament and
by the liberal press. The health of Sir Robert Peel
and Mr. Kinglake was very cordially drank.
Sir R. PEEL spoke in French, to return thanks,
declaring that he felt half a Swiss at heart, and he
was sure that the Swiss would always be ready to
fight either for their free institutions or for their
frontiers, as their ancestors did at Morat, Morgar-
ten, and Sempach.
The company soon afterwards separated.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Although only a limited quantity of wheat of home pro-
duce was on offer here, to-day, the demand for all kinds,
owing to the return of fine weather, and the full average
importations from abroad, was in a very inactive state, at
about Monday's quotations.
Upwards of 23,000 quarters having come fresh to hand,
foreign v heat was very dull ; nevertheless importers re-
fused to accept less money for any kind. Floating cargoes
were a slow inquiry.
We have to report a slow sale for barley, at barely late
rates.

Malt moved off slowly, nevertheless Monday's quotations
were supported.

The arrivals having been excessive-82,370 quarters—
oats were dull. and 6d. per quarter cheaper.
Both beans and peas were in short supply, and steady
request, at full quotations.
The flour trade was dull, and country qualities were
lower to purchase.
