down East a trial was under way for trespass, i'll
cutting wood from neighbor S premises without
authority. One of the plaintiffs witnesses was,
a plain old farmer, whose testimony went clearly
to prove the charge. The defendants counsel, a
clustering man of brass, after the most approved
fashion of country pettitoggers, thought to weaken
the force of his evidence by proving idiocy to be
trait of his family. He therefore Intercepted
him thus:

to the Christian world to suffer the effete Mo-
hamedans to hold the Holy Land and the eastern
capital of Christianity. Will any of these powers
yield to the arguments of the Gar? Some of
them are very substantial and tempting. Will
they not cruelty say to the noble young Sultan:
sYour empire must fall; the day of its fate is
only question of time, and that not very distant;
we have concluded to useless war and to
make the best of bad case; we shall be happy
to give you asylum in London, Paris, or
Vienna" .'E.a
This is the present aspect of the question. We
think the ''ntegrty' of the Ottoman empire will
be preserved for the present. The alarming ex-
tent to which the conquest of Turkey would in
crease the power Of Russia fills the mind Of Eu-
rope with apprehension; and this we imagine will
prove superior to every consideration, or to all the
arguments of the Gar. Europe will not always
be in its present state; and better opportunity
may arrive for the ambitious purposes of the auto
crat If he cannot separate England and France
now; if all his diplomacy fail; if he cannot yet
realize the hereditary design of the Russian gov
eminent, and enter the city of Constantine, he
will have made his power felt, he will have OBJ
tanned concessions to the Christians Of the East,
he will probably increase his power or influence
over the Danubian principalities, and he will wait
for propitious day to give him the rest.

near bank, about fifteen steps from where the
ferry flat lay tied to snag in the edge OF the

skins, were nailed up to dry against the walls OF
the grocery; but the door was closed, and no
barkeeper, ferryman, Or other person was IN

half dozen times, but one answered. Seeing
an advertisement on the door, read as follows:

TILE ENGLISH CABINET.
for particulars

II seems that the English Cabinet formed after the
defeat of the Tories, by coalition of Wings Peelte
and Radicals SOshells (Hard-shes and Abotlonlsts)
is not destined to remain long in power Already there
have been some serious differences of opinion, and split
in the Cabinet can scarcely be prevented The English
papers do not contain any indication of these differences
but from the most authentic source we know that lr.
Gladstone the Chancellor Of the Exchequer has met
with serious opposition in his High Church tendencies and
his attachment for Puseye doctrines which are entirely
unavailable to Lord John Russell and especially to the
Duke of Argyle. In respect to Turkey, Lord John,
Lord Landsdowne and the Earl of Clarendon were
strongly in favor of strengthening the Sultan by every
means whilst Lord Aberdeen, the Duke of Newcastle
and the radical Sir William Wordsworth rather
opposed to any opposition to the schemes of Russia and
in favor of peace at any cost Sir William, the friend
of Bright and Golden, is now the link between Lord
Aberdeen and the Radicals of the Manchester school.
The Wings have often avaed themselves of the votes
of those gentlemen, but they have stunned all social
contact with the "lowborn mill owners and cotton
princes" Lord Aberdeen has such aristrOcratic
preiudces and recently met Golden and his friends of
the peace party at the dinner table of Sir William Moes
worth in order to enlist them under his banner Lord
Pamerston keeps clear Of all matters cOntrOverted
council is held in which difficulty is likely to occur.
He bides his time and waits to which of the two
parties has the best chance Of throwing the other over
board 1t is quite possible that he may yet become the
Premier in new Ministry.

iY> The Commercial Advertiser of yesterday accom-
panies some kind remarks on the enlargement of our
sheet. with the following statement touching the new
Police law:
"The bill we believe, does not remove the present A.
ssant Captains and does not place the appointing power
in the Mayor Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen as The
Tune asserts and does provide for the present police
men remaining in Office for the term of their appointment
though The Iif6nne asserts the contrary"
We have carefully examined the Police bill anew to
find any clause which guarantees to the present police
men that they shall out the terms for which they
were respectively appointed and have not been able to
find such a clause. And have high legal authority in
addition for the opinion that the law virtually removes
them all from office, and authorizes the entire
reconstruction of the corps And with respect to
the mode of appointments there is nothing in this law
whatever that have been able to discover wherefore
we conclude that the matter is left it before It
is provided that the Mayor Recorder and Aldermen Of
each respective Ward shall constitute Commission for
the trial of offending members of the corps, but with
regard to appointment of new ones arrangement
is established If any such amendments have been
made they do not appear in copies of the bill published
as official

MIR. BENTON.

II has been stated in Washington Correspondence
that Mr. Benton is inclined to 90 abroad in diplomatic
capacity We do not credit the report. 1t seems to be
understood that the mission to France is bespoken
as well as that to England and that to Spain And we
cannot imagine that Mr. Benton desires to be slowed
away in TIE comparative obscurity OF either Berlin
or St. Petersburg. And even if he could have his
choice of the European missions, should find it diff
fcult to believe he could be induced to take either.
He is far more at home in domestic politics, and they
are more cOngenml to his tastes. And considering
peciay that he has just been elected to Congress- and
has already laid down sort of programme of proceed
ngs in his new Office and that he looked to
and considers himself as leader in the great enter
prize of the Pacific Railroad we must decline yielding
our belief to any such rumor as the in question.
Mr. Benton never held fairer more independent
position and never one where he had good an Oppor
tuny to add TO his renOwn confer lasting benefits
upon hiscounry. He is measurably disconnected from
partisan politics and enjoying the maturity and ripe
ness of vigorous intellect upon which the rosts of age
have done nothing than destroy the too exuber.
ant shoots he is in position to make himself the
center and nucleus Of powerful party in Congress-
having no objects in view but the public welfare 1t
seems unnatural to suppose that he will voluntarily
relinquish fair and promising field Of public useful
ness and one which WILL if he uses his circumstances
Alright fly complete his public He has it
in his power to conciiate all the old elements of party
strife which beat against him ercey during Jack
sons Administration, and to plant himself upon posi-
ton whence he may descend to pOsteriS as man of
wide and comprehensive craftsmanship.
II will not be with suffrage that Mr. Benton shall
hide his light under bushel by taking foreign mis-
sion at q time when he is so much needed at hsme
And We cannot but think that the report which has
gained currency, has been set on foot by those who
have no friendship for Mr. Benton and who, for selfish
partisan purposes desire to be rid Of his presence in
the House. But any such purpose is entertained we
have the utmost confidence that it will be frustrated
by his own just apprehension of his position before the
country.
