ENGLAND'S POLICY IN THE PRESENT EUROPEAN WAR.
On Monday evening, June s, a public meeting
was held in the Music Hall, Sheffield, at which
Kossuth made speech.

from me to do what could for Poland. Clear
hear.) | considered it solemn duty on my part to
bear testimony by my presence OF the community
of the cause of Poland and that Of Hungary to bear
testimony by my presence, that ! take our
cause to he the same. (Hear, hear) Nothing
else would have induced me to rise once more
before an English assembly. l get fever at the
command me, sir, to submit to the habitaal
rules of the occasion, then you must give
me authority to be rather free and true
than to be fiattering Clear, hearo will
will speak calm words, but will speak Of faults
in the past and Of present duties Still, am glad,
sir, to that you have carried three resolutions
without interference on my part. What is there re-
naming for me but to try II can establish sympa-
ton to act energetcally and consistently, accord
ing to the spirit of those resolutions which you
have carried spontaneously. Sir, there has been,
perhaps never political problem the solution OF
which would be so clearly and completely defined by
this you viii agree with me if you will recollcct
that the supremacy of Russia against which, and
the independence Of Turkey for which, you have
taken up arms, is not question sprung mp
to centuries, but especially to the battle which
the heroic Charles XII. of Sweden lost at Pultowa,
in 1909; and to the second fact, that the
Grand vizier, Mehemet Baltadshi, bribed By the
Establishments and the diamonds OF Cathe-
rne, let escape Peter the Gar at Falezi in I'LL.
Since that time there has been continual concate
nation OF the same drama going on. The partial
conquest OF Turkey, the subugation OF the inde-
pendent Tartars of the Crimea, the dismemberment
of Poand-Finand torn away from Sweden-Na
poleon's campaign to Moscow in lSl2-the occupa-
ton of Moldo:Walachia, in 1s48, and the invasion
of Hungary in ls47, all acts Of the same drama.
The history Of those events offer such clear indi-
cation Of the policy required the occasion Of the
present war; that If its m0nition be disregarded We
may predict with perfect certainty that your
must be unsuccessful, and that your sympahes will
be in vain. Gentlemen, in the public life of nations
never anything is accidental. There everything is
cause and effect; and whereas like causes produce
like effects it is only from the practical lessons of
history that we raay learn what faults we have to
avoid, and what means we have to employ and what
coursewe have to adopt. Now, there are two exioms

Explanatory.

Mr.. Joseph T. Mitchell publishes an advertise
ment in the last Jiadica.Or, in which he states
that we denied him the privilege of replying to a
communication. rejecting upon him, previously
published in the Spectator, upon the ground that
the authors name ought not to be pubshed.'-
This is entirely incorrect, as will be seen from
the following brief detail of facts.
Mr.. Mitchell called at our office and demanded
the name of the author Of 4 communication which
appeared in the last Spectator, signed "a State
Director" by which he felt himself aggrieved.-
We informed him that if his object was to seek
personal redress, either II et arms or by suit for
libel. ". would give him the desired information.
If, on contrary, he merely wished to reply
through the papers, without seeking personal re-
dress, we did not feel at liberty to surrender the
name of the author, inasmuch as he could reply
to the communication as well without the name
as with it. Mr. Mitchell avOwed the double in
tention TO reply through tho papers and TO seek
personal redress. We informed him that if we
gave him the name of the author, he debarred
himself from reply through our paper, as he had
no right to the name merely for the purpose of
informing the public who the author was, and re-
peated that we would not surrender the name I'M
less his ovowed object was to seek personal re-
dress Mr. NJ then distinctly avowed that such
was his object, and we gave him the writer's
name. He then declared his intention to "reply
first and seek personal redress afterwards" We
told him that he could not reply through the col
umns of the Spectator. We had distinctly ten
dered him the privilege of reply before we gave
him the name. After he had obtained it for the
purpose of demanding satisfaction of the writer,
and then requested of us the privilege of publish
ing the name, we unhestatingly refused him ad-
mission to our columns.
The principle upon which we acted is well es-
tablished and universally recognised by editors
An individual demanding the author of an anony-
nous publication, is entitled to it only that he
may obtain personal redress, and then the matter
is considered closed SO far as the newspapers are
concerned

DIR. .IOhnsOn.

Mr., George Nicholson Johnson has published a
card in the Richmond papers, in which he states
that his brother, Dr. Garter P. Johnson was GER
tanly passenger on the Arctic. Mr.. Gilbert, a
gentleman of New York, who was saved from the
wreck, states that he was in conversation with
DR.. j. not very long before the collision. As
nothing has been heard of his rescue, the proba-
bility is that he was among the lost. As hereto
fore stated, DR.. j. was son of the late Chapman
johnson, and Professor of Anatomy in the Rich
mOnd Medical College. He was gentleman Of
fine talents, and bads fair to reach the highest
eminence in his professions

The Supply OF Wheat.

A few days ago friend from the country asked
us why it was that the price of flour had advanced
in England, and consequently in the United
States, notwithstanding the late abundant crops
throughout Great Britain. We were unable tn
explain the fact, but we have since seen an arti-
Gle in the Richmond Wing, which appears to
give a satisfactory answer. Under no circum-
stances can England make enough grain to sup
Div her own wants, and it is stated that for the
last few years she has been receiving from Odes-
sa, a Russian port on the Black Sea, about three
millions and half quarters, or twenty eight mil
lions of bushels. This source of supply is now
cut off by the war. Moreover, according to an
English estimate, the stock of old wheat in Great
Britain, in August last, was at least six millions
quarters, or forty-eight millions bushels, less than
it was at the same period Of the previous year
To this AZ 900 900 bushels add the % 100000
usually received from Odessa, and we have a TO-
tol of 76, 100000, 1t is not pretended that the
good crop of the present year will supply this de-
fciency, and where the grain is to come from is a
question. The continent of Europe can do little
more than feed itself during the pending war, and
the United States will hardly have surplus to
spare. In our most prosperous years, we have
not been able to export more than thirty millions.
If these statements are correct.-and the Wig is
good authority on such subjects-a rise Of price in
England was very natural, and still further ad-
yances may be antic paed.

Mistaken.

The Vindicatori is entirely mistaken in the pre-
sumption that the notice of the Market House e.
lection was published in the Spectator ''through
the agency of the Sergeant" Having Gcciden-
taily learned that such vote was to be taken, we
went to the Corporation Office and procured the
advertisement by Offering to publish it gratis,
that the people might be informed of the election
We understood from both the Sergeant& the Clerk
that 70 authority had been given by the Council
to advertise the notice, in the newspapers, and
the Sergeant was about to stick tcrtten notices al
the corners of the streets. Certainly the notice
would not have appeared in the Spectator if we
had not requested the privilege of publishing il
for nothing, and we presume both the Iindic0lor
and the Messenger could have published 1t on the
same terms.
We make this statement in justice to Mr.. Craig,
the Sergeant, who had no agency in the matter
whatever.

The Virginia State Agricultural Fair will oper
in Richmond on Tuesday next On that day the
various committees will examine the articles anc
stock exhibited, with view to the award of pre-
mums, and only members of the Society will be
admitted; on the three following days other ger
sons will be allowed to enter upon the paymen
of small fee. The exhibition will doubtless b.
one of the most interesting ever held in the Uni
ted States. From the difficulty experienced las
year in obtaining accommodations, some person!
may be deferred from attending, but the Rich
mond papers assure us that ample preparation:
have been made, and that all strangers will b.
provided for. This county, we have reason tc
believe, will be well represented.

Loss OF THE ARcTIc.--None of the passengers
and crew of the Arctic have been saved, so far as
heard from, besides those reported last week.
The total number Of persons on board the steamer
was 4l0, of which only IS are known to have
been saved The hope is still held out, howev-
err, that others have been rescued. The vessels
sailing in the quarter where the catastrophe oc-
Cured, are at this season of the year generally
outward bound, and any persons rescued by them
would be taken TO Europe.

rhe Lion of the Dnu.

Decidedly and deservedly the greatest lion Of
the day is Capt James G. Luce, the gallant
Commander Of the Inflated steamer Arctic His
praise is upon everybody's lips-his name most
prominent in every newspaper that we receive
his fame more enviable than that which Raglan
and ST. Arnaud have won by their victory at Sc,
bastopol. Upon his return to his home in New
York he was everywhere received with the most
enthusiastic demonstrations, thousands having as
sembed at various points along the route, to wei.
come the noble tar who stood by his vessel till
she sunk beneath the waves. Surely the courage
and selfsacrifcing spirit which he manifested a
mid the trying scenes of the wreck is worthy Of
an ovation. His heroic conduct stands out in bold
relief when contrasted with the base desertion OF
the craven crew.
Capt. Luce is native of Massachusetts, and
is about forty eight years of age.

Important News from Europe---Sevastop0
not yet Taken.

The European steamer Africa arrived off San
dy Hook, on Friday afternoon, fom whence we
have by Telegraph a summary other news, which,
in view of the last preceding advices from the seat
of war and the speculations which they superln-
duced, is rather Of an extraordinary character.
The rejocings in England and France over the
supposed decisive victories in the Crmea have
been suddenly checked BY the announcement that
Sevastopo is not taken that the report of the de-
sruction of the Russian fleet is false; that the re-.
port of the explosion of Fort Constantine is also
false. and that the despatch purporting to have
come from Omer Pacha was forgery.
SevastUpol, however, has been invested by the
Allies, both by land and sea. But it had not fall
len as late as the 30th ultmo. A despatch dated
at Consiantinople on the evening Of that day, from
Lord Stratford de Radcliffe to Lord Clarendon,
states that the armies had established basis OF
operations at Balakalava. On the morning of the
2Slh they were preparing to march without delay
upon Sevastopol The Agamemnon and other
vessels of war were at Baakalaya, where they
were disseminating the batterlng trains.
The Austrian General at Odessa telegraphs that
the struggle recommended on the 25th and con-
tlnued when the cepFer left. On the 9Th the
Allies were on the road to Baabeck, ten miles
from Sevasopol.
Official dispatches, received by way of Marse-
illes state that Sevasto2ol was invested on the
9th and the second line of defences carried
Prince Aenschlkoff had fallen back with the wreck
of his army, and was shut up in SevastoPol. The
