The war undertaken by. Russia against Turkey is
not a subject on which we rejoice to meditate : but
its importance forces it on the attention of most
Englishmen, and the perverse notions entertained by
some people, with regard to its bearing upon the
interests of this country anti of Europe, require to
,be watched, if they cannot be corrected. No man
at all acquainted with Russian history or policy
doubts that Constantinople has long been marked
by the Statesmen of St. Petersburgh for their prey.
This -desire has grown out of previous aggrandize-
ments achieved by Russia during little more than
half a century, and every step of her armies south-
ward has but served to stimulate and encourage her
to the enterprise. Fresh argument springs conve-
niently out of recent conquest. As Russia has
extended her frontier south towards the Euxine,
and westward along the shores of that sea to-
wards the Danube, the freedom of one, and
the command of the other, became objects of " just
anxiety" with a Power which, had she been forced
to remain at a distance from them, would have had
do pretence for acting on any such " anxiety.",s—
The " freedom" of the Euxine—swhich means,
in certain quarters, its independence of all con-
trol but that of Russia—requires that the Bospho-
rus, the. Sea of Marmora, and the Dardanelles,
should have the enjoyment of equal " freedom ;"
for they are so many paddocks en the Euxine
trade. But of these various locks the master-
key is Constantinople. So (we are told with
great frankness by a Russian General Officer)
it is impossible to keep a sap hold of Con-
stantinople, without occupying Asia Minor also.
Thus by la :answerable logic has it been proved to
ins ;teat to Secure a free vent for the exports of
'Odessa, Smyrna alai Rhodes must be held by Mus-
covite garrisons ! Now it is not by any means cri-
rninal in Russia to feel the above cravings for mari-
time conquest, nor would it be an offence against the
laws of nations in Great Britain to wish for the
possession of Copenhagen, the Belt, and the Sound.
ut suppose that, on one plea or another, she had
transported her whole army to Hanover, and then
moved it across the Elbe into Holstein, and issued
a manifesto declaring that she would have "
secu-
rities" horn the King of Denmark for the free-
dom" of the Baltic, and indemnities for her expence
in supporting the said demand of -securities by an
array which threatened Denmark trial destruction.
What, we ask, would be the course of Russia under
such circumstances ? Would she listen to the fol-
lowing argument for preferring peace to an armed
vindication of her own interests, and of those of all
the 'north of Europe ?
" If the trade of the two countries (England aed Den-
mark) with Russia be compared, that of" England is of
much greater importance to Russia than is that of Den-
mark." Therefore by all means let England subjugate
Denmark, " because it never can be worth the while of us
Russians to interrupt oar peace with England, for the sake
of a-ening some possible danger to our intercourse with
Denmark."

A ludicrous disparagement of the effect upon
Great Britain, arisinc, out of a conquest of Turkey
by the Russians, and in the precise terms we have
used above, has been employed to dissuade the
British Government from being more than spectators
of this portentous war. The whole conflict, with,
its incalculable results, is looked at in no other light
but as er possible preliminary towards interrupting
for a time our commercial intercourse with Turkey
in Europe. The command over the whole eastern
portion of the Mediterranean is nothing—the addi-
lion of so much coast of a maritime position and
depot so impregnable as that which embraces the
entire Euxine to the mouth of the Dardanelles, is
nothing,—the consequent ascendancy over Egypt,
nothing,—the general aggrandizement and prepon-
derance nothin,—with Greece,• too, in that case, a
Russian province' Why then it is needless to urge
one objection against any system of conquest by any
Power, the most enormous, under any condition or
circumstance of human affairs ; and the whole policy
of Europe for centuries has been childish, when it
referred to the usefulness of some sort of balance be-
tween States. It is untruly said that England in-
cure a le,is prominent obligation than many of the
continental powers, in re,isting the designs of Rus-
sia. England is nearer to the scene of action than
any of them. Part of her colonial empire is close at
hand. Her commerce is present on the very scene;
and what is England herself but English commer-
cial industry We affirm that if England but says
peremptorily to Russia, you roust nor extend your
frontier one inch beyond its present limit on the side
of Turkey, other States, now passive or silent, will
be ready- to echo and to support us. Insist on jus-
tice from Turkey to the Czar, defend the real free-
dom of his flag and merchandise from Odessa to
where they launch into the Mediterranean. Let us
defend with _equal vigour the integrity of Turkey
arid the independence and sovereignty of the Porte.—
Times.

Mr. Hume brought the Corn Laws before the
House last night. A great change has taken place
public opinion on this subject of late years. The
landholders begin to perceive that all attempts to
thrive at the expense of the industry of the country
must prove abortive; and the farmers are very ge-
nerally persuaded that the Corn Laws afford them
no roil protection. Mr. Hume proposed a fixed
duty on importation in place of the present system,
the duty to be lowered a shilling every year. Mr.
Vesey Fitzgerald eulogised the law of last year, by
the operation of which " an extraordinary equality
of prices had been obtained—such an equality as
marked the effect of the late deficient harvest from
the consequences of the deficiencies of all preceding
years." He contended that Mr. Hume's fixed duty
could not be enforced in case of scarcity, and quoted
the second Letter of Mr. Tooke to Lord Grenville,
just published. Mr. Tooke does, certainly, allow
the impossibility of enforcing a duty in a period of
sear&ty ; hut it would have been as well if the
Right Hon. Gentleman had stated also, that Mr.
Tooke concludes his letter with observing, " that
ell attempts of the landed interest to secure a per-
manently. high price by legislative restrictions must
prove abortive. And after a repetition of experi-
ments, attended with injury to the public, and with
disappointment to the agriculturalltlasses, it will be
found that the system most beneficial to all interests
will be a trade perfectly free, or subject ordy to such
a moderate fixed duty as, serving the purpose of
Revenue to :flit State in ordinary times, may he re-
tritted without inconvenience in periods of de.liolo"
So convinced are the agriculturists of the trthii of
Mr. Tooke's position, and so dissatisfied are they
with the working of the gorn Bill, which pleases
Mr. Fitzgerald, that they are now in many places
Kent they have been some time in the field)
petitioning for a different sort of protection, namely,
a permanent commutation of tithes—a burden
which presses .heavily on them in times of sear-
ei:y, when they are competing with tithe-free
nations, and when a deficiency of crop renders
an adequate remuneration the more necessary to
;hem. Many farmers this year are obliged to go
into the market themselves for their seed corn, so
deficient have been their crops. - Mr. Tooke is not
co much enamoured of the present Corn Bill as Mr.
V. Fitzgerald. " It is less objectionable than either
of its predecessors (he says), in as far as it is less
restrictive; but in the exact proportion in which it
is restrictive is it liable to the charge of occasioning
fluctuations beyond those which are inevitably inci-
dental to such an article as wheat, the supply of
which depends so much on the weather. Take,
for instance, the recent experience of the workings
of the Bill. In consequence of the failure of the
last crop, it bet-ame evident that a :foreign supply
was requisite to make up for the deficiency of our
own growth. But by the operation of the Corn
Law, the supply Which was particularly desirable in
August, and September, and October, for the pur-
pcse of mixing the dry foreign wheat with the damp
British, was withheld till November. From the
withholding of the foreign, the market naturally
rose ligher than it othetwiSe would have done.
In that interval the sellers of British wheat obtained
a better price by the foreign being so withheld from

commerce. But in consequence of the high price
caused by the artificial thus superadded to the na-
tural scarcity, there was independently of the
wish to secure the Is. duty, a greater inducement to
hasten the importation than would otherwise have
existed. A great deal was shipped at the ports of
the Baltic in November and December of last year
at extravagant freights and premiums of insurance,
which ‘rattid nht have been shipped till April or
May following, if the duty had been at a fixed
moderate rate. Neither would the importa-
tions from France, Spain, and Italy, or from
the Netherlands, have been to the plathe txttut,
but for the spettlntitin in the shilling duty.—
Without entering into details, which would lead to
an inconvenient length, I will only here state my
firm belief, founded upon all the information
which I have been able to collect, that if, instead
of the variable duty on the present Corn Bill; there
had been a fixed duty of ten shillings; the importa-
tion to the end of March last would have been less
by from 200 to 300;000 quarters than it proved to
be. In proportion, then, as the price was higher in
the three last months of 1828, by the operation of
the Bill in keeping the imported wheat froth entry
till the latter part of November, so was it the more
depressed in thz three first months of 1829, by the
extets of the importation which was caused by the
speculation in the low duty."—Morning C'hronicle.

Last week, whilst the convicts were being es-
corted front Waterford to Cork for transportation, and
when they had proceeded about a mile beyond a public.
house where they had been refreshed, the constables in
charge were surprised at the sudden appearance of their
host, who declared that his house had been robbed by the
party. A search was immediately instituted, and on the
person of one of the convicts were found a chemise and a
pair of stockings, which he had pilfered during their stay.

A very delicate and dangerous operation was
most successfully and skilfully performed in the county
infirmary, by Dr. HEMPHILL, a few days ago :—A man, on
whose head an immense lump or gathering had fixed itself
(it having been gradually increasing for the last 12 years
so as to become most distressing and inconvenient to the
sufferer), applied for admissio❑ to the infirmary with a
view of having the diseased part removed. This was ef-
fected by Dr. liENtrntt.t., and the patient is now nearly
recovered. The part thus removed, in a manner which
reflects so much credit on the professional knowledge of
Dr. HEMPHILL, weighed four pounds and a half.— C'lon-
mg Paper.

A novel scene was presented to us yesterday
by the Galatea, 42, Captain CHARLES Nartim, C. 8.,
being propelled out of harbour by the use of paddle-wheels,
worked with winches by the ship's company. At five
minutes before nine in the morning she slipped her moor-
ings, half an hour before high water, the flood running one
knot. The ship's company, consistin,, of 190 men, were
put into three divisions ; two divisions manned the winches,
and started the ship, making 11 turns of the paddle-whee:s
(which were seven feet wide, two feet wider than those
used in the Active) in a minute. By this apparatus
she went two and a half knots. At a quarter past nine
o'clock, when off the platform, the winches were manned
with the three divisions, when the speed of the paddles was
increased to nearly 13 revolutions, by which the ship was
propelled three knots. 011 hauling round the buoy of the
spit, the breeze freshening to the westward, the wheels
were unconnected, and sail was made, when the paddles
were allowed to go round, without impeding the ship's
progress. At not any time were the men permitted to
work up to their full strength. Even with the peace es-
tablishment, provided there was an object in view, they
could keep regularly at work the greater part the day ;
and, with the war complement. the operation might he
continued in a calm for any length of time. With a full
crew, the Galatea would have gone nearly four knots.—

THE LOST WIGIIT FOUND.—The gentle-
man whose sudden and unaccountable disappearance from
a neighbouring tow❑ gave such uneasiness to his friends,
has at last been heard of, and his transportation is rather
curiously accoui.te,l for. It is said that in one of those
happy hours which at times flit across the dull path of
life, having made too flee with the Tuscan grape, some
wag taking advantage of his somnolency, ticketed him
" This man to be conveyed to _Dublin," and had him
carefully stowed with the live cargo of a steam-packet,
about to sail for that place. Atter four hours tossing
on the bosom of the ocean, he was aroused by
qualms in his stomach, the usual lot of lubber, on ship-.
board, and finding the harmony of his senses distuihed
by the frightful noises—the creaking of the - engine—
the cataract of the paddles—and the roaring .of the
chimney, be thought of the White Hart and its
joys, and instinctively bawled fur " more sherry;'
" hot toddy," the latter of which being provided,, be
took quantum sufficit, and relapsing once more into his
state of peaceful slumber, " the world forgetting, by the
world forgot," he awoke only to find himself in a stranger's
land, among Paddies, whose brogue was most shocking to
his delicate ears, "so long attuned to dulcet sounds." In
short, he &retie from his sleepy bondage in the Emanci-
pated Isle--happy if he should find himself alike emanci-
pated from the yoke of discontent.Devonport Tele-
