We learn from Berne, June IA, that the Crane

not difficult to see the wishes of the Car and his
troops. Never were grapes Of Ishcol sweeter than
would be to them q few slices from poor Turkey.
Nevertheless, they will be disappointed this time and
the Sultan will enjoy brief respite. England and
France are, on this point at least, most cordially
agreed to defend the integrity Of Turkey, and assist
tbs Sultan in his hour of need against Cossack nva-
sion. Austria, too, has profered her mediation, as
well she might for her own interests; and the con.
sequence of these united movements will now most
probably be, that the Gar will avail himself Of some
convenient pretext-some paltry, valueless conces-

There b point connected with the Eastern question
that requires explanation. Russia claims the priv

nians belong to Russia either by the constitution of
their churches, their political institutions, their
commercial interests, nor has she shadow Of right
to interfere However much, therefore, the willy
men Of the North may try to identify these people
with their own creed, empire and trade, we trust
that whenever Christian empire shall once more
rise on the ruins Of Byzantium the standard there

p0tism. The latest news Is that the Russian troops
have actually crossed the Pruth and now in the
Aodavian pr0vinces-that the Sultan il actively
gagged in experimenting in person all the arrange
ments requisite to make the Notifications about his
capital effective and complete and that he has sent
special messengers to Bucharest and Jassy for the
purpose Of projecting Walachia against his northern

forearned, for the slightest backwardness delay
on his part might leave an opening for hostlties OF
which the aggressive Russians would be only too
glad to avail themselves.
On Tuesday, the Hon. Fl. Berkeley, NJ P. for Bris-
tol, brought forward his motion the important
ballot question; and certainly II ever there was
q time when such mode Of election was desirable
il Is Ut the present. when revelations so disgracefu
have been made respecting election bribery in all
sorts of boroughs, not only close, but open and sou
itsQnt liberal as Hull and Liverpool, which appear
not one whit purer or more tree from corruption
than Chatham, st. Adams or Canterbury. Many Of
The speeches excellent and, wh Is curious the
present Sir Robert Peel has become convert and
warm advocate for the ballot The division was
very singular one; ayes III, noes 1872, making ma
iorty of 60 against the notion The former OF course
represent the liberal party, and hence the majority
is made up Of those who oppose 1t, because 1t dis
favors their own interests, namely the tories and
in fact had the tories not voted
and the mnisteliasts been allowed to form their
own individual decision, apart from Russell party
interests, the ballot would have been carried by
large majority. Indeed, as it was, ten members OF
the government voted for IL and against ministers.
But Il it be really an open question, why were not
Sir VIM. Molesworth. Mr.. G. Vliers, Mr.. Bernal Os-
borne Sir A. Cockburn, and Mr. Strut, all ballot
men, in their places, and ready to oppose their more
cory associates? Nearly all the representatives of
Of large town constituencies voted for the motion;
and Of the metropolitan members only two actually
voted against Sir de Lacy Evans Lord Robert Gros-
venor and Mr.. Masterman being absent. Lord John
Russell is strongly opposed as ever to the me 3sre,
and he was supported by Mr. Sidney Herbert and
the Lord Advocate of Scotland. Again, therefore,
have the representatives OF the people OF England
done dishonor to themselves by refusing to
adopt the only really effective measure for
ab0hehing motives for bribery but no matter
whether they like it or not-whether it suits or does
not suit their present interests and chance OF elec-
ton by free and unbiased constituencies, the ques
ton will ultimately be settled by its passing into
law and every election only hastens the arrival OF
that much wishedfor period The pretexts for oppo.
stion thereto are weak, paltry and puele-the rea-
sons for it morally strong, every year increasing In
power, and must finally prove Irresistible. Magma

On Monday last there was a great gathering OF the
