To conclude with

seriously set ag oiug t Yet while there is no
longer any talk abo `ut the Prince Consort assuming
the :vacant post at.: the Horrso Guards, there is

be predicted. She is thri only umpire that can
heal the prevailing discontent, and :;

"From the nettle danger pluck the flower safety."
Bid to enable her to do so the assistance of the
Western Powers must be freely and cordially
:rendered. There must be no hanging back or
halting on half measures. It is essential to show
that we are really in earnest, and that their parts
'have already been deliberately chosen. The want
of decision led to the Russian War. The Austrian
an .d Italian Governments should not be permitted
to deceive themselves, or to suppose that France
and England will maintain an inglorious
neutrality in the event of any complications.
It must be clearly and unequivocally intimated
that no intervention will be tolerated, and that
the aspirations and movements of the People
shall not be checked by German bayonets. The
Pontiff has only maintained his position by
French as well as Austrian aid, and France has
a right to demand that he shall make the need-
ful reforms, or if, through the undue influence of
his Ministers, he refuses to do so, to withdraw
the troops that alone afford him the means of re-
fusing the just demands of his People.
If the English Cabinet be in earnest, it would
be well if the Ministers at the Courts of Florence
and Naples should be instructed to support the
just cause with all their energies. It is, however,
more than hinted that the Marquis of NORMANDY
thinks more of his ancient friendship with the
Grand Duke LEOPOLD than of the interests of
Great Britain—that he strives rather to " make
things pleasant to the ruling powers than to
awaken them to a true sense of the position in
which they are placed, or to recal the dangerous
nature of the volcano that is already heaving
beneath their feet. It will be well that this
should be forthwith altered, and that the British
Minister should really repiesent the feelings and
wishes of the British Government and of the
British People. If the Marquis of NORMANDY
will do so, well. If not, a person better suited
to the emergency should be procured—one who
will not permit his private or personal predilec-
ti•ns to influence his conduct, or prevent the
efficient discharge of the duty which he owes to

being possibly succeL►cled by H. R. H. the Duke
of CAMBRIDGE ! It, is for .-all the world like setting
aside "six" for the purl lose of installing " half-
a-dozen." It is giving • the nation the delectable
advantage of an alternative popularly known as
HOBSON'S CHOICE ! It :is nothing more nor less
than offering us the reverse side of the same
medal ! The ruse is altogether preposterous.
Nothing, merely, of the Court, Courtly, must
henceforth be tolerated in regard to our military
organisation. We must neither have installed at
the Horse Guards H. R. H. the Prince, nor
a R. H. the Duke, nor yert again for that mat-
ter—that " most obedient humble servant To
Command"—H. R. H.'s Secretary ! Why not
overlook, upon rare occasions like these, the rigid
etiquette bound up in the stubborn system of
mere military precedence. " The Right Man in the
Right Place "—Cry of the Day though it is, is no
new cry after all. It is literally only identically
the very system that was acted upon for fifteen
years in every department of his vast scheme of
Imperial Government by that great Emperor and
King, Lwgiver and Conqueror, NAPOLEON BONA-
PARTE. It is the secret strength and wisdom of
every strong and wise Administration. And never
at any time or in any department has it been
more urgently required to be acted upon than
nowadays in reference to the Horse Guards.

Courtiers, mere courtiers, have been pitchforked
before now into places of power and responsi-

this momentous occasion as the successor of

his country.
We should have been better pleased had the
matter fallen into other hands than that of the
Noble Lord the Member for the City of London.
He has already so palpably failed in the hour of
trial, has permitted himself to be made so com-
pletely a tool of by Austria, that he has lost the
confidence of the people on all points of foreign
policy. Besides, it is possible that he contem-
plates avenging the trip he received from Lord
PALMERSTON in 1852. We do not now want a
Peelite Ministry, nor Mr. GLADSTONE in the role
of Premier. Lord JOHN, it is said, has come to
terms with the leaders of the party. Although
we may object to many points in the PALMERSTON
programme, we must say that we are by no means
willing to exchange PALMERSTON and CLARENDON
for GLADSTONE and RUSSELL. We could certainly
easily spare the Baronets, WOOD and LEWIS ; but
it is eves doubtful if the improvement that must
inevitably take place in the Admiralty and Ex-
chequer would not be more than counterbalanced
by the deterioration in other respects.

Not, we fear, the popular hero of the day, by
whom so much has been done, an from whom in
proportion so very much was expected ! Not,
we grieve to think, the honoured head of General
Sir FENWICK WILLIAMS, of Kars—as we should
otherwise have believed, but for the manner in
which that gallant veteran has contrived to slip
into Parliament ! For has he not already dwin-
dled politically upon the very threshold of the
House of Commons—into the mere nominee of a
Whig Marquis ? Now that the Earl of SHEL-
BURNE has been summoned to the Rouse
of Lords in his father's barony of Wy-
combe of Chipping Wycombe—has not the
Hero of Kars consented tg hang round his neck
the badge of tie LANSDOWNE; in his capacity as
M.P. for the borough of Calne—at the very time
when his gallant breast was but just newly covered
with so many glorious and heroic decorations?
Alas ! that our favourite hero of the War and of
the Peace should no sooner arrive in England
from the scene of his great historic achievements
than he drops into the bathos of the partisan, than
he consents strangely to pocket an affront in the
shape of a pocket borough, than he forgets forth-
with, politically, what ROBIN BURNS has sung as
" the glorious privilege of being independent !"
Sic transit gloria mundi—from behind the battle-
ments of Kars to a snug little seat behind the
Treasury Benches in the Lower House of Parlia-
ment !

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 14, 1856.

The Military Secretary of H.R.H. has at length,
happily for England, tendered his resignation.
Don't, for HEAVEN'S sake, let us allow the oppor-
tunity to slip away from our grasp—that of hav-
ing nominated as the successor of F. M. the Lord
Viscount HARDINGE Some one who will be less
disposed than that gallant Nobleman to allow the
Com mander-i n-Ch ief-ef-the-Forces to become a mere
puppet with its secret strings and wires held tightly
by the hand of a Royal Highness ! A soldier
made of sterner stuff than goes to the formation
of that most plastic, and elastic, and infinitely
squeezable of State-dolls—A Courtier—is wanted
just now more than ever in supreme and tho-
roughly independent authority at the Horse
Guards. Remember the Warning solemnly ad-
dressed to his fallow-countrymen by the Hero of
Kara almost the very moment after he had sot
foot again upon the sacred soil of our glorious
fatherland—the impressive Warning that England
should never more allow the ratification of the
terms of a most precarious peace to render her in-
different to the maintenance of her military as
well as of her maritime strength ; to render her
careless as to the future condition of
her army ; to render her apathetic as to
the efficiency of its general organisation.
Every one surely still recollects it very vividly.
For the voice of CASSANDRA herself was never
raised in accents more prophetic and authoritative.
Woe to that nation—woe to that nation which
accumulates wealth without attending to the
keenness of the arms that are to defend it f Sir
FENWICK WILLIAMS, in thus calling out aloud
"Beware" to his compatriots (upon the instant of
again appearing amongst them), reminded them
with very comprehensible significance, that he did
so as one who, on hastening back from the seat of
War, had passed through " armed Europe" on his
way homewards. Never, perhaps, was wattling
more timely than this, as never before, we do
seriously believe, was the direct application
of implied advice rendered more immediately
practicable than at the present moment—
at the important juncture, we mean, in the mili-
tary affairs of England, consequent upon the op-
portune resignation of H.R.H.'s Military Secre-
tary.
Who is to be his successor ? "That is the
question I" No more courtly gossip now of
Hatat.F.M.P.A. buckling on the armour worn
once upon a time, in the days of the giants, by
AZTHWIt, emphatically the Duke of Wellington !
It is not every Hop-o'-my-thamb who can find a
miraculous fit in the Seven-league-Boots. It is
not every pigmy, even, who can don the shoes of
swiftness, or wield the sword of sharpness, and
(so accoutred) do battle with the Titans still walk-
ing the earth in the shape of Error and Igno-
rance. And so it actually does come to
pass that nobody seriously entertains the
notion of H. R. H. openly grasping the iron
baton of command that fell from the dead hand
of 'WALLINGTON in 1852, and that has never since
then been wielded in any way otherwise than by
means of a certain pliant and adroit piece of
Aa automaton just fallen
courtly mechanisn3
into disorder—never again, let us hope, for the
sake of the strength, and stability, and reputation
of our Government, never again after this to be

The motion of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL has
given notice for this evening will bring the whole
of the Italian question under the consideration of
the House of Commons. It is true that the
Noble Lord only asks for " copies, or extracts,
of any recent communications which have taken
place between her MAJESTY'S Government and
the Governments of Austria, Rome, and the
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, relating to the
affairs of Italy ;" but this involves the whole
matter, and offers a sufficient handle whereon to
hang a long and animated debate.
The subject is unquestionably one of deep inte-
rest, not only to the beautiful but deeply afflicted
and oppressed land referred to, but to Europe
and the civilised world. It is one that contains
the elements of future disturbance, and which,
unless it be judiciously managed, may again lead
to war, with all its horrors and inevitable sacxi-
flees. It is, therefore, of immense importance
that the popular branch of the Legislature should
assert its own independence, and require full and
complete information, before the Prorogation, as
to the course hitherto adopted and the line of po-
licy intended to be pursued during the Recess, so
that there may be no danger of again " drifting"
into hostilities. Let the people know what
are the intentions of the Government, so that
they may be either approved, or promptly and
decidedly repudiated.
The Italian question, like that of Poland, was
virtually shelved at the Parisian Conferences.
Count CAVOUR, with a degree of energy and abi-
lity that gained golden opinions for himself and
the gallant nation which he represented, intro-
duced the subject, but Count BuoL was suffered
to fling a wet blanket over the discussion, and to
get rid of the inconvenien'_ topic at the only time
when a satisfactory solution of the difficulty was
practicable. The golden opportunity was thus
lost ; but the hopes of the Peoples were excited,
and feelings produced which cannot easily sub-
side, anti which, unless some decided action be
promptly adopted, may produce results of
a very serious description. King 13411118 A. has
manifestly hardened his heart. He has proved
beyond the possibility of doubt that there is but
one species of persuasion to which he will yield.
Remonstrances, written or verbal, are treated
with the most profound contempt. He has re-
solved to " do as he likes with (what he considers)
his own," and diplomatic correspondence, under
such circumstances, is worse than useless. It only
offers a louphole for procrastination and evasion
until a serious disturbance becomes inevitable.
So is it likewise with the Papal State. Cardinal
ANTOXELLI has taken counsel with BomnA, and
with him has decided on rejecting all interference.
The Austrians, too, continue their military occu-
pation; despite the authorities in whose name they
profess to act, while the Grand Duke of TUSIANY
still displays the same slavish subservience to sacer-
dotal domination. Nothing can avert a terrible
explosion but speedy concessions. The prompt
interference of Piedmont, the chosen champion of
all reasonable and moderate Italians, may prevent
are volution, the effects of which cannot possibly

The Lords spiritual and temporal who honoured,
and were honoured by, the meeting at WILLIS'S
Rooms, wore, of course, Lords suited to the occa-
sion. One of them, however, had just before
voted against Jewish emancipation, and last year
even headed the Opposition to it in the House of
Lords, though we believe he subscribes to a cleri-
cal society for the " conversion of the Jews."
The same Noble Lord is an active member of the
" Evangelical Alliance," an institution for bring-
ing different Christian sects, if possible, into har-
monious co-operation ; this out of the House ; in
it he voted point blank, the other nigkt, against
admitting Dissenters to equal position with Church-
men in the University of Cambridge. We believe,
however, that such narrow-mindedness will never
mark the conduct of the other Noble Lprd
who made the speech of the meeting.
True, he is a Peer's eldest son, and as yet
a Lord by courtesy only, but when he leaves
the Lower House for the Upper—may the time
be far distant, for we want him where he is—ho
will be Lord STANLEY still. He is a politician,
but he is one who has no fear of investigation,
and is consequently a man of too strong convic-
tions to change with change of House.
His speech, on the occasion referred to, as usual
exhausted the topic, and it gave renewed assurance
before so important an assemblage that it was to
their moral influence alone, and not by obtaining
legal enactments, the Association looked for suc-
cess. This course will be its strength. it

excite no ill-will. It has secured, in this unob-
jectionable way, the co-operation of a list of influ-
ential business names, on whiCh stress was very
properly laid, and it will go on securing additional
names till late closing and working on Saturday
afternoons will become the exception, not the rule;
and till, as Lord STANLEY expressed it, having gained
the majority, "We enlist on our side imitative in-
stinct; which makes the majority of men regulate
their conduct by their neighbours' sense of right."

TILE SITNs; LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 14, 1858'

The measure of success already attained is indeed
wonderful. In the cotton trade of the north,
employing a population of 2,000,000, the Satur-
day half-holiday is universal ; even the large rail-
way companies have adopted it as far as practic-
able, by liberating half their clerks alternate
weeks, and express themselves pleased with the
result. The Post-office acts on the same principle,
respectable Assurance Companies have also acted
upon it, and even large retail traders have found
that, by withdrawing part of their staff, they
could give a holiday once in two or three weeks.
For candid and satisfactory answers to all objec-
tions of any weight we must refer our readers
to the report of the meeting in Friday's San.
Lord STANLEY is not the man to pass over any
objection that deserves attention ; all the speak-
ing was, however, good, and the meeting can
hardly fail to promote the objects of the Society,
which are defined to be—Early closing of shops
and earlier cessation of all kinds of industrial
labour ; the attainment, where practicable, of a
Saturday half-holiday, and the payment of wages
on Friday, or at least early on Saturday.

Among the many projects now appearing for the
improvement of the country in its manifold neces-
sities at home, there are others based on enlarged
and liberal views for developing our commercial
interests abroad. Of these the Calcutta and South-
Eastern Railroad Company takes a prominent po-
sition for laudable enterprise and profitable ad-
venture. Nautical men well know the dangers of
the Hooghly navigation to Calcutta, as well as the
exorbitant charges of pilotage and consequent risk
incidenral to arrival at and departure from that
port. We believe that the loss incurred in making
Calcutta, after a voyage of some sixteen thou-
sand
miles, safer, would exceed by tenfold the
money now about being embarked in the
Calcutta and South-Eastern Railway. The River
Mutlah, forming one of the mouths of the Ganges,
lies about 26 miles to the south-east of Calcutta,
possessing deep water (four fathoms or 24 feet) even
at low spring tides, with a rise of 14 feet, which
would give 38 feet at full tide. It possesses, be-
sides, the advantage of safe anchorage, with no
bore, as in the Hooghly—which has swamped many
a hapless craft, destroying life and cargo
together. This undertaking has obtained the
sanction of parties high in Indian office, and
promises to become a national source of profit,
and mutual advantage to all parties interested.
Eventually it is proposed to extend the line to
Chittagong, Arracan, and the principal places in
the Burmese territories along the Eastern shores
of the Bay of Bengal. The completion of such a

project will do more to subdue and civilise the
savage people in these regions than an army of
countless numbers ; so that, politically as well as
commercially, it will prove the happy pioneer of
improvement and civilisation in the far, far East.

The Moniteur of to-day, beyond some Imperial
decrees relating to the Guadaloupe and Martinique,
and the confirmation of a pro:id dc loi concerning
the caisee des retraites pour la vieillesse, has no ar-
ticle of general interest. Six columns of the cere-
monial at the funeral of M. Fortoul, at the church
of St. Thomas Aquinas ; the speeches of Marshal
Vaillant, M. Dumas, and M. Ravaissou, at the
tomb of the deceased Minister.
The Debats comments on the loss of the Russian
277,000 men, as a set-off for the French loss of
66,000. The same journal, in its impression of
Sunday, comments on the defeat of Ministers on
the question of life peerages. It also tells us that
the departure of Count Morny is the best answer
that can be given to the sinister rumours that a
French Ambassador would not be present at the
coronation of the Czar.

The Early-Closing Association is now to enacted
as a matter of course. It has reached Wrmas's
Rooms, and Lords both spiritual and temporal
have said. " content" there ; although, wisely
enough, the Association has turnede aside from
Westminster and the House of Lords. The
Appellate Jurisdiction there is confessed to be in so
unsatisfactory a state that it seems truly unreason.
able for suitors in a great public cause to oarry
their appeal thither ; and the fashion will doubtless
grow of appealing from Lords in the House to
Lords out of it. Lords, like absolute Monarchs,
seem to have such an easy patent for popularity,
that reflecting people wonder they use it so little.
The disposition is almost universal to seek the aid
of men with " handles to their names." 'Even
sturdy business companies often like to ornament
their board with a coronet ; it takes well both with
natives and foreigners ; but if it be a social or
philanthropic movement, a Lord as Chairman,
patron, trustee, or president, is almost indispens-
able. Even political reformers like to head their
list with a Member of the Upper House. It is
curious enough to notice the different feeling
towards Lords in the House and Lords everywhere
else. All thewell-known judgments on the conduct
of respectable men in a corporation, and in private
life, are held almost doubly applicable in the case
of Lords. To the House of Lords, as to Chancery,
no if he cau help it ; but a Lord is
thought oneongh goes,ttole quite a desideratum for every public
meeting. Indeed to do their Lordships' justice,
they appear of late to have courted the people
individually, as much as they have kicked them
corporately. No one hopes for anything from
" the House," but pious and benevolent ladies,
secretaries, treasurers, and committeemen hope
for everything when the placard announces that
Lord somebody will preside. Anything is hazarded
to get a title ; we remember a Bible Society
meeting, for instance, at which the naval mag-
nate who presided declared that he was no
speaker, and that all he could say was that " the
-Bible was a d—d good book !"

The following private telegraphic despatch has

means improbable, but as yet has not been con-
VIENNA, JULY 12. firmed.

The Risoryianento of Turin, of the Bth, publishes
two addresses from Tuscany. One of them is di-
rected to Count de Cavour, thanking him for his
efforts in favour of Italy at the Paris conferences,
and requesting him to accept of his bust, sculptured
by Vela, as a mark of their gratitude. The bust bears
the inscription :—" To Camillo BJns) de Cavour,
the Orator of Italy, who openly defended, on the
20th of April, 1856, the Italians of Tuscany."
The second address is to the municipality of Turin ;
the Tuscans express their thanks for the hospitality
granted by the former to the two marble tablets in-
scribed with the names of the Tuscans who fell in
1848 at the battle of Curtatone. These tablets, it
may be remembered, had been placed in the church
)f Santa Croce of Florence, but had subsequently
been removed by the Tuscan Government ; they
were then sent to the municipality of Turin by
those who had borne the expense of having them
singraved.
The bust of the late Count Caesar Balbo was
inaugurated in the public garden of Turin on tl
Bth with great ceremony. The relatives of the late
statesman, the President of the Council of Ministers,
the Minister of War, many senators and deputies,
and several members of the Academy of Sciences
and of the municipality were present, besides a large
concourse of people. M. Vela, the artist who had
executed the bust, uncovered it in the midst of loud
cheers and applause, and Count Sclopis afterwards
read an appropriate speech. The pedestal bears
the inscription—" To Caesar Balbo, born at Turin
on the 21st of November, 1789, taken from this
world on the 3d June, 1853, by his fellow citizens."

Congress continues occupied with the Kansas
question. On the 30th of June, in the Senate,
Mr. Douglas, from the Committee on Territories,
to which was referred the various bills relative to
affairs in Kansas, made a voluminous report on the
subject. It contains an elaborate argument in fa-
vour of the new bill accompanying the report,
which provides for the appointment of five com-
missioners, to be selected by the President from
different sections of the Union, to represent fairly
all political parties. They are to take a census of
all the legal voters in the territory, and make a
fair apportoinment of all delegates to be elected
by each country to form a Constitution and insti-
tute a State Government. When the apportion-
ment shall be made the commissioners are to re-
main in session every day, except Sunday, at the
place most convenient for the inhabitants of the
said territorry, to hear all complaints, examine
witnesses, and correct all errors in the said list of
voters, which list shall be previously printed and
generally circulated through the terri tory,and posted
in at least three of the most public places of each
election district ; and so soon as all the errors have
been thus corrected in said lists the commissioners
are requested to cause a corrected list of the legal
voters to be printed and copies furnished to each
judge of election, to be put up at the places of
voting and circulated in every county in the terri-
tory before the day of election. No person is to
be allowed to vote whose name does not appear
on the list as a legal voter. The election for
delegates is to take place on the day of the
Presidential election, and the Convention to as-
semble on the first Monday in December, to de-
cide—first, whether it be expedient for Kansas to
come into the Union at that time, and, if so de-
cided, to proceed to form a constitution and State
Government, which shall be of Republican form.
Kansas is then to be admitted under such constitu-
tion on an equal footing with the principal States.
The bill provides further that no law shall be en-
forced in the territory infringing the liberty of
speech or of the press, or the right of the people to
bear arms, &c. It also provides punishment for
illegal voting or fraud and violence at elections,
and authorises the use of the military for that pur-
pose. The main point is that the persons desig-
nated by the census as the present inhabitants of
the territory shall decide all points in dispute at a
fair election without fraud or violence, or any other
improper influence. All the white male inhabi-
tants over 21 years of age are to be allowed to vote
if they have resided in the territory three months
previous to the day of election, and no other test
shall be required. No oath to support the fugitive
slave law, or any other law, or any other condition
whatever shall be required. In the House of Re-
presentatives the bill to admit Kansas as a free
State under the Topeka Constitution was laid on
the table the same day by a majority of one.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING.
The ship Meteor has brought advices from the
Cape to the 7th of May.
Up to that date the state of affairs on the fron-
tier in the free State (late Sovereignty) side stood
thus. A letter had been received by the Governor,
Sir George Grey, from the President of the free
State, stating that it was his intention to move out
in a few days for the purpose of chastising a preda-

his kinsman without effect ; that it was appre-

chief, and fears of a wide-spread rising were gene-

The President also desired aid from Governor
Grey, and the Governor had made a communica-

much to allay the excitement caused by a know-

a very uneasy feeling prevailed, and only one sen-

As a precautionary measure all the available troops
—about 500 only—had left in the Castor frigate
for East London, and her Majesty's steam-frigate
Penelope had been despatched to the Mauritius
with an urgent request from Governor Grey for the
loan of a regiment of infantry, which was to be con-
veyed direct to East London in that vessel.
The " commando" of the free State was to have
