THE GENERAL ILLUMINATIONz.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)

Should Lord Palmerston not feel inclined, of his
own accord, to give the country an assurance that
Government do not intend to appoint a general
illumination, we trust that some member will not
allow this e vening to pass away without eliciting
from the Premier what he really means to do in
the matter. We cannot bring ourselves to believe,
after all that has been written on the subject, that
Lord Palmerston actually intends to make so peril-
ous an experiment on the patience of the peuple,
as to order a general lighting up of their windows
on the 29th.

It is bad enough to have had so unsafe, so un-
satisfactory, and so dishonourable a peace foisted
on a reluctant corAntry. The Noble Lord will
hardly venture sr., far as to enjoin vu the nation the
expression of a, joy which they do not feel. Let
us not he 'mocked, as well as injured and dis-
honoured., Let uo Minister have the temerity to
exact d'emonstrations of rejoicings where no joy ex-
ists. We have sacrified 50,000 men, 120,000,0001.
of °ir money, and an incalculable amount of our
lii•estige, in prosecuting a war which has been pro-
ductive of no substantial results ; let us not, in
addition, be called on to proclaim in the eyes and
ears of the world that we are animated with delight
at the conclusion of the treaty of peace, when sor-
row and mortification are the predominant feelings
in our bosoms. Don't ask us to exhibit to Europe
such a piece of consummate hypocrisy.
Euglishmenihave borne much, and are still bear.
ing much, in connection with this unfortunate
peace ; but they are not yet so entirely lost to self-
respect as to parade a joy which they do not feel.
To fill our windows with candles on the night of
the 29th, would be to tell by our actions, if not by
our words, an enormous falsehood. Happily, we
have not yet descended so low as that. We have
still some respect for ourselves, and regard for
facts. We must not, therefore, be expected either
to trample on the truth, or to aim a blow at our
own self-respect, by consenting to a general illu-
mination on account of a peace which, in our
hearts, we deplore, and in private denounce.
We should imagine that, with the renewal of the
war alt early, on the part of Russia against the Cir-
cassians, and which would have been averted had
the allies insisted on the demolition of the Musco-
vite forts on the eastern coast of the Black Sea,—
Lord Palmerston must, were the truth known, be
as anxious as the nation are, to have as little said
about the peace as possible. The word peace, as
applied to the Treaty of Paris, is as great a misno-
mer as was ever perpetrated. Not only is war
raging at this very hour in the Caucasus, but we
are on the eve of a tremendous outbreak in Italy
—a catastrophe which might have been averted had
this country insist ed on something being done with
a view to the settlement of the Italian question.
But our Plenipotentiaries would do nothing in re-
ference to that question. Hence the position into
which matters have been brought. If war be already
recommenced in the Caucasus, and we are living in
the hourly expectation of seeing a frightful ebulli-
tion of political and social feeling in Italy, let
us
at least not profess to rejoice a peace
iwhich, if it
did exist, ought not to be rejoiced in, oecause un-
safe and ignominious,—but which does not exist at
all. We have no real peace. We have a hollow
truce, but nothing more. Let not, therefore, Lord
Palmerston unwisely make experiments on the for-
bearance of the people, by calling on them to light
up their houses on the 29th inst.

GARRATT THE FAIIOUS ROBBER. —A letter from
Melb .urns, date 1 the 28th of Feb., states the escape of
Garratt, the celebrated hank and railway depredator, it
is supposed by means of bribery, but there was every
reason to believe that he would be recaptured. His last
offence, of whica he was found guilty, was the open day
attack on the bank, which he and his confederates robbed
ot 20,000/. D.ini,l Garratt had been a nobleman's valet
and was diAinguished as quite a " fashion-
mongst the "courier" class. His first dis-
honest curse was in depredations on railways and pas-
senger's luggage, in c,:onnection with the Farr and May-
nard gangs, organised for a systematic plunder and re-
storation for reward, which baffled all the police of the
metropolis and led to large payments for restoration,
even by bank and detective officials. Garratt made a
daring attempt at escape, with loaded pistols, when cap-
tured in 1845, by Superintendent Collard and Mr. Nash;
but the charges being at length brought home, the gangs
were convicted and broken up, through the exertions of
Mr. Nash, who had to bear a ruinous expenditure in hi,
erertions to the public interests. Gariatt was
alleryards concerned in an attack on the Belfast
and managed to escape from custody on that occasion:—
