EDIT TUE STAFFORDSHIRE SESSIONS, last week, a man and
woman were charged with stealing £7O from a horse dealer
at a fair at Leek. The man, who was acquitted, had been in
gaol sixteen times within ten years ; and the woman, who
was sentenced to fourteen years' penal servitude, had been in
prison eight times.
A COLLISION occurred on Tuesday evening, near the Rose-
grave station of the East Lancashire Railway, and a short
distance from Burnley, occasioned by a passenger train from

the luggage train and a waggon, loaded with iron, were smashed
to pieces, but no serious personal injury was sustained.
FATAL QUARREL IN AN AaIEBICAN SHIP AT BALACLAVA.
—From a letter received from Balaclava, on the 26th ult., we
learn that a tragedy, attended with fatal results, occurred on
board the American ship Arlington. One of the men, in an
altercation with the mate, struck him, when the latter armed
himself: ith a pistol, and discharged its contents into the
chest of the unfortunate man. This wanton abuse of power
occurred at an anchorage where there were upwards of fifty
sail to render assistance in case of mutiny.
FEARFUL THUNDERSTORM.—On Tuesday afternoon Not-
tingham and the immediate neighbourhood were visited by a
terrible thunderstorm, which lasted for nearly three hours,
raging during that time with remarkable violence. The rain
fell in torrents, accompanied by hailstones of a very large
size. The storm commenced about three o'clock, and con-
tinued, with very little intermission, until six. In Bilbie-
street, and in other parts of the town walls were washed down,
and considerable damage done. A great amount of damage
has been sustained in the fields contiguous to the river Trent,
by the loss of stock, &c. There has not been so great a fall
of rain for some time past.
ORDER OF AFFILIATION ON A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST.
—The County Justices in Quarter Sessions were on Wednes-
day occupied at Durham in hearing an appeal made by the
Rev. Richard Singleton, a Roman Catholic priest, against an
order made against him by the borough magistrates of that
town for the support of an illegitimate child. The mother is
Miss Beatrice Jane Jones, the daughter of a Church of Eng.
land clergyman residing at Douglas, Isle of Man. Various
proceedings have taken place in the case, but the result of the
investigation on Wednesday was that the county magistrates
confirmed the previous order, directing Mr. Singleton to pay
2s. ed. per week during 13 years for the maintenance of the
child.
A STATEMENT has been issued by Mr. James Low, from
which it appears that the shipments of specie from England
to India, China, Egypt, and Malta for the half year just
ended have been £2,614,006, of which, £396,847 consisted of
gold, and £2,117,169 of silver. As compared with the cor-
responding half of 1864, this shows an increase of £140,992,
although the total export was then unusually large. The
proportion of gold, however, is smaller in the present return.
The sum inclUded in the aggregate total as having been sent
to China this half year is £833,466, of which all but £140,524
was silver. In the first six months of 1864 the total sent to
China was £1,289,548. The recent augmentation in the ship-
ments to the East, has, therefore, been caused exclusively by
the Indian demand.
NEWSPAPERS FOR THE BRITISH COLONIES AND FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.—The following notice has been issued from the
General Post-office :—" Many newspapers for British colonies
and foreign countries having been posted unpaid,. contrary to
the Printed Instructions, No. 45,1855, recently issued upon
the subject, the Postmaster-General thinks it necessary to
repeat the intimation that a postage (the amount of which
can be ascertained by an inspection of the notice No. 45, at
any post-office) is now required to be pre-paid, in addition to
the newspaper stamp, upon all newspapers sent to the British
Colonies, and upon those sent to all foreign countries except
the following, namely,—France or Algeria, Belgium Prussia
rid Belgium, and any foreign country (except Turkey) rid
Belgium and Prussia, New Granada, Peru. Any newspapers
which may be posted without the requisite pre-payment, can-
not be forwarded to their destination,"

91 cargoes of grain, and the departure for those and other
Danubian ports, to load similar cargoes, of 'no less than 53
other vessels. !V
EVESHAM ELECTION: AUNIVERSAL REPRESENTATIVE.—
The nomination took place on Wednesday at the Town-hall ;
Mr. Holland was the only candidate, the two others having
previouslyretired. Mr. Holland was declared duly elected. In
returning
.thanks he said he was for a vigorous prosecution of
the war, and not only of the war, but of everything right and
just, whether at home or abroad. He was not a member for
any particular class of politicians, but for every class, for every
elector, and every non-elector,
DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—Two young ladies, the daugh-
ters of J. H. Rees, Esq., of Carmarthen, were bathing, on
Saturday, on the shore, near their father's house, when, having
ventured too far, they sank in a pool about ten feet in depth.
Their governess, who was with them, rushed to their rescue,
and, failing to save, died with them. Mr. Rees was hastily
summoned from a meeting which he was attending at the
church, and on coining out, the first objects which met his
gaze were the lifelessbodies of his children and governess, which
were being borne along to his house.
REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY'.—We understand that a
movement is now being made, with the view of gettieg up a
requisition, calling on Lord John Russell and Baron Rothschild
to resign their seats for the city. The, ground on which Lord
John is to be called on to resign is, that he grossly misrepre-
sents the sentiments of his constituents on the question of the
war ; while the reason which is to be urged for the resignation
of the Baron, is, that he does not represent them at. all.
There is, we are assured, a large and influential party
,in the
city, who are determined that it shall be hereafter efficiently
represented in the House of Commons.—Advertiser.
EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF THE CREW OF A STEAIiTUG
AT SHIELDS.—The Welsh, a tug steamer belonging to Sun-
derland, brought a foreign schooner into Shields from sea on
Tuesday, and after seeing her moored, the master of the
steamer went on board the schooner to get his towage. He
had not been on board the schooner above a minute, and the
other two men belonging to her were standing forward in the
steamer, when her boiler exploded with fearful violence.
In an instant it blew everything in the cabin to pieces, and
forced out the stern and after deck. The boat immediately
sank, but, strange to say, the two men were rescued without
having sustained the least injury. The steamer has since been
raised, and it is found that her engine is all twisted and de-
stroyed.__
THOSE who have implicit faith in the universal " honour
of the English Tradesman," and a fortiori of " the British
Banker," may be surprised to hear a story which is current in
'commercial circles, and is as well authenticated as it is gene-
rally believed. A highly-respected London banker, on his
death-bed, called his.children round him, and asked them if
they believed in his reputed wealth ? They answered that
they shared the general opinion as to his large fortune, and
he then surprised them by the assurance that he had been
insolvent for the last thirty years. He, however, entreated
them not to be depressed by the intelligence; but recom-
mended them to go to Doctor's Commons immediately after
his decease and swear his property under half a million. The
advice was taken. The customers of the house were agreeably
edified on hearing of the enormous wealth of the late partner,
and the bank was firmer than ever, in the opinion of those
who trusted their money to its keeping.
THE STOLEN £5OO -NOTE.—A communication has been
received from one of the jury who were supposed to.have given
a verdict for the plaintiff in the Court of Common Pleas, at
Guildhall, on Tuesday last, in an action brought on behalf of
M. St. Paul, a moneychanger in Paris, against the- Bank -of
England, to recover a £5OO bank note, forming one of those
stolen from Messrs. Brown; Shipley, and Co., to the effect that
the jury-.did not intend to express, and had by no means arrived
at a conclusion favourable to the right of the plaintiff. The
feelingof a large portion of them, at least, is stated to have
been that M. St. Paul, having received notice of the robbery,
and liming wilfully disregarded it, or, at all events, having
adopted no steps to give effect to it, could not be considered to
have-taken the-note-hostel fide. The question is one of so much
moment as to make it important that the law should not be
settled on a misunderstanding of the intention of the jury,
and 'hence it is deemed -essential that their views Should be
ascertained on the point more clearly than appears to have
been possible in the hurried manner in which their verdict
was taken.— Timer.
POLICY OF PnrssrA.—According to the Berlin correspond-
ent of the Times, the opinion prevalent in that capital is
"that the Prussian Royal Family and the Court are bound
hand and foot, and sold body and soul to Russia." He adds :
" The before-mentioned view is based on the fact of a Prussian
Princess being the consort of the Emperor of Russia who was
reigning at the time of this conflict being brought about by
him, on the very strong presumption of there being a power-
ful party at Court here imbued with Russian sympathies, and
the patent factthat Prussia has not openly and actively joined
ua in the struggle against Russia. The three facts are cor-
rect, but the_imputed cause of Prussia's policy is incorrect;
there are so many perfectly valid reasons, military, financial,
political, and economical, to withhold Prussia from taking a
forward part in the war, however convinced King, Ministers,
and people may be of the necessity of profiting.by the present
opportunity of •asserting the independence of the country; that
we have no need to suppose feelings of brotherly affection on
the part of the King, or political sympathies for Russia on the
part of certain members of the Court, to have been more than
subordinate accessories in determining the course that Prussia
"has hitherto:taken."
ANECDOTE or THE QUEEN.—A few days ago, in the
beautiful little cemetery of Rose Bank, our attention was
directed to a handsome monument of Aberdeen granite,
having the following inscription in letters of geld:—" Sacred
to tno memory of Miss Ida Deno.uorai, tine foltlAful
esteemed dresser of Queen Victoria, who departed this life
October 15, 1804, in the thirty-seventh year, of her age, be-
loved and respected by all who knew her. This stone has
been placed' by Queen Victoria as a mark of her regard." On
inquiry we found that one day, whether in the autumn of
1.-864 or at a former period we were not told, when Miss Be-
nanomi was accompanying Queen Victoria in her morning
walk on Arthur's Seat, she called her Majesty's attention to
the beautiful cemetery in the distant valley, and expressed a
wish that when she died she might be buried there. Last
year, when her Majesty was going north, Miss Benanomi,
who, as usual, was attending her royal mistress, became in-
disposed in Holyrood Palace, and was unable to proceed fur-
ther. By order of Her Majesty, Miss Benanomi was attended
by an eminent physician, but she never recovered, and died
in Holyrood Palace. Her Majesty was deeply affected by the
death, and, remembering the wish of Miss Benanomi, ordered
the remains to be buried in Rose Bank Cemetery, and the
monument with the inscription quoted to be erected to her
Memory.—Caledonian Mercury.—[Rose Bank Cemetery is
in a suburb immediately to the south of Edinburgh.]
A REMARKABLE MAN.—This city is now the home of one
of the most remarkable men of the age—a man who has tra-
versed the civilized globe, and established in almost every
country which he has visited the sale of his medicines for the
relief of human suffering, and which are a certain cure for
disease in all its forms. We allude to Professor Thomas
Holloway, of London. It is now several years since this
benefactor of the human race first proclaimed to the world,
through the British press, that he had, after deep research, pre-
pared a remedy that was sure to eradicate disease. Years of
patient investigation into the laws of human physiology which
control our bodies in health and when diseased, led to the in-
vention and preparation of the world-renowned Holloway's
Pills and Ointment. Nearly, if not quite, one half of the
haman race have taken his medicines ! His name is as uni-
versally known over the globe as that of Alexander, Napoleon,
or Washington, when in the height of their ambitious career.
If they conquered nations on the field of battle, Professor
Holloway has, with no weapon but that of science, conquered
disease in all its forms. His meritorious career is bounded
by no imaginary lines of latitude and longitude short of those
marking the confines of civilization itself. No isolated country
or nation was sufficiently extensive for the operation of his
enterprising and gigantic intellect. Wherever disease has a
residence, there he has penetrated with his medicines, and left
an enviable and enduring reputation. After enlightening
Europe, his fame spread over Asia, and the civilized portions
of Africa, and finally appeared in America. He has translated
the cures he has performed, and the virtues of his medicines,
into as many languages as the missionaries have the Bible.
GOvernments, otherwise the most despotic, have been forced
by the great value of his medicines, and their popularity with
the people, to remove antiquated and time-honored restrictions
upon the introduction of foreign medicines, and open their
custom houses to a free introduction to the Pills and Oint-
ment, of this distuingished man. Empires and kingdoms
removed the barriers of ages against the introduction and sale
of proprietary or patent medicines, and freely permitted Hollo-
way's medicines to become the physician of the masses.—New
York Dispatch.
TRIAL ROR MOBBING AND RIOTING.—At the High Court of
Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Monday last, four young men were
placed at the bar charged with mobbing and rioting, and with
assault and injury to property, at Greenock, on the of April
last, on which occasion a large mob assembled in front of the
Roman Catholic Chapel there, beat in the doors with a large
beam. broke the windows with Avn., anti couunlited other
damage to the chapel, as well as to the school and the adjoin-
ing dwelling-houses of the priest and teacher. In sum-
ming up the evidence, the Lord Justice-General laid down
the law as to participating in or giving countenance to
riotous acts. He said,—" All those who were in- the
mob and who took an active part in it were guilty of
the whole proceedings of that mob generally. The jury
returned a verdict of guilty of mobbing and rioting against
the prisoners, but not of participating in the acts of
assault and injury libelled, The Lord Justice-General, after
stating that the Court were disposed, from extenuating
circumstances in each case, to treat the prisoners with leniency,
said,—" You must not suppose that you are punished because
of the particular object you had in view, as being connected
with any following out of the religious opinions which you
yourselves entertain in opposition to those of the persons
whose property was to be sacrificed by these proceedings. It
is not because you entertain particular opinions, or because
with zeal,
that we are going to
ris it because of any
yproounmonanincetaian
sentence
opuipnoinyoin it
particular favour to the religious opinions of those whose
property has been assailed. In this country all parties, all
subjects of the Queen, all who are residing within the range
of the laws, are amenable to the laws, and entitled to the
protection which they afford. We know no distinction
of religious parties in any question of this kind. In
this country all persons are entitled not only to enter-
tain what religious opinions they please, but to profess
those opinions, and to worship according to their own
faith, whatever it may be. Be they Jews or Gentiles,
Pagans or Christians, Papists or Protestants, Episcopalians or
Presbyterians, it is all the same. The law says that they have
a right to worship after their own fashion, and that law will
protect them in the exercise of this right. Therefore you must
'not suppose, and no persons must suppose, that we enter into
the religious question here ; but while we hear rumours of
persecutions for religious opinions in other countries, and are
inclined to sympathize with the sufferers, and to feel indigna-
tion at the conduct of the oppressors, it would be very wrong
indeed if in this country which boasts of being a land of liberty,
where persons are entitled to freedom of conscience without
any restraint, except that which conscience itself imposes, any
proceeding which involves violence against parties on account
of their religious opinions should be permitted to go unpunished.
While the law permits them to have liberty, those who
administer the law must take care that that liberty is pre-
served to them, and not abused by the strong. It is because
you have violated that law, and for no other reason, that we
now pronoun& sentence of imprisonment upon you." His
Lordship then sentenced three of the rioters to six, and one to ,
three months' imprisonment,
MR. BERKELEY has been returned for Cheltenham by a
majority of 682 over Mr. Ridler.
ON Friday evening a lomotive engine, employed on the
North London • Railway, exploded; but though it destroyed
some property, no persons were injured.
THE COLONIAL SECRETARYSHIP.—Tnn Advertiser says
Sir William Molesworth and Sir George Grey are spoken of
for the colonial vacancy. The Herald says Mr. Vernon Smith,
Sir Wm. Molesworth, and Lord Harrowby are mentioned.
THE QUEEN, accompanied by Prince Albert, the King of
tha Belgians, the Count de Flanders, the Prince of Wales, and
Prince Alfred, attended by their suite, left Buckingham
Palace on Tuesday, for Osborne.
DURING a debate in the House of Lords last week, no little
sensation was caused by the entry into the house of Sir- Au-
gustus Clifford, bearing on his arm the celebrated Miss
O'Neill, now Lady Wrixon Becher.
•
THE Advertiser states that a meeting of Conservative
members of the House of Commons took place on Saturday,
at Mr Disraeli's. The attendance was very numerous, and
never was the feeling of the party more cordial and unani-
mous as to the course to be pursued by it.
THE SPECIE' arrivals during theweek have been moderate,
and do not amount to £185,000. The exports of which we
have any notification are little more than £60,000, but the
shipments to the Continent by the bullion merchants have
been considerable.
ON Tuesday morning the corning-house at Messrs. Curtis
and Harvey's Clyde Gunpowder Mills, Glenlean,' about five
miles from Dunoon, blew up with a fearful explosion, by
which casualty the lives of not fewer than four men have
been lost.
COLONEL FLEURY, the colonel of the French Guides, has
married Mad'lle Calais St. Paul, a daughter of a rich homme
d'affaires of Paris. On this occasion the Emperor made the
colonel the munificent present of 500,000 franks from his
private purse, and also settled a pension of 12,000 franks
a-year, to make things pleasant, to a lady who went down on
her knees to supplicate his Majesty to prevent the marriage.
MILITARY DISTURBANCE.—The town of Chatham, on
Thursday evening, exhibited a scene of military riot, between
the marines and sailors against the 27th regiment. Several
of the soldiers were wounded in the affray, and one man was
so severely injured that he was taken to the hospital, having
received three bayonet wounds.

SCA.ELATINA. IN THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD AT OSBORNE.—
Their Royal Highnesses Princess Louisa and Prince Arthur
have been attacked with scarlatina. Their Royal Highnesses
are going on very favourably. The same disease has declared
itself in his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, who was left at
Buckingham Palace in consequence of a slight accident.
THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES.—The work
for the next Presidental election has seriously commenced.
The political events have sharply defined the three great par-
ties of the campaign, and the champion of each for the suc-
cession. These three parties are—the American party, the
Seward anti-slavery coalition party, and the Democratic party ;
and the candidate of each, as broadly foreshadowed by these
late events, is, of the American party, George Law, of New
York; of the Seward coalition party, W. H. Seward, of New
York; of the Democratic party, Henry A. Wise, of Virginia.
THE GRIND STAND AT. AINTREE RACE-COURSE - was,
during the late meeting, entrusted to the care of Mr. Morrish,
of the Merchants' Dining Roams, Lancaster-buildings, Tithe-
barn-street. The care and judicious attention bestowed on
the cuisine and the cellar were such as called forth the warmest
encomiums from the numerous visitors ; while the orderly and
ready service bestowed on the guests reflected the highest
credit on the skill and assiduity of Mr. Morrish as a caterer
for even the most refined tastes. Every delicacy was to be
'et with in ready profusion, and the more substantial elements
of good cheer were served with equal alacrity and abundance.
The wines and liquors of all kinds were excellent, and met
general approval.
THE DANUBE.-A letter from Bucharest of the 3d, in the
German Journal of Frankfort, says :—" The Ottoman troops
are still advancing into the Dobrudscha. From 1,200 to 1,500
Turks from Silistria have passed the Danube in boats, and
landed at Kalarasch. Although the Turkish corps now in the
-Dobrudscha are sufficiently provided .with bridge equipage,
and is supported by a flotilla, and, although the coast of Bes-
sarabia is only defended by about 10,000 Russians, yet it is
not expected that the Muchir Ismail Pasha has any present
intention of attacking the Russians. He appears inclined to
wait for the fall of Sebastopol, in which case he would doubt-
less be supported by some allied troops. The greatest com-
mercial activity prevails on the Lower Danube. It is calculated
that, since the opening of the navigation, more than 500
vessels, of which 200 were Austrian, have taken on board
cargoes at Ibrail and at Galatz."

flit LATE CAPTAIN Lroxs.—The enclosed extract from a
letter from one of the officers of the Miranda may be interest-
ing to our readers:—" Tlaerapia, June 25.—Our brave Captain
is no more. His wound was mortal, and he died on Saturday
night. C— was with him the whole time, and S--=-= says
his death was worthy of his life. He forgot nothing, sending
messages to each of us individually, and arranging for the
smallest trifles. He said to C--, ' I die '.s a captain of a
man-of-war ought to die.' The navy has lost its greatest
ornament ; and we have lost one who, to us, was more than a
friend. He was so brave, so great,' so good,'and so amiable,
that we all loved him much snore than we knew. We buried
him on Monday evening, the 26th of June, with all naval
honours. Crowds of people of high rank attended Isis funeral.
The head of our figurehead, Miranda, was shot away almost at
the same moment. that our dear captain received his death
wound.
FIRE AT ILITECIERFORD-MARKET.—On Sunday evening
considerable alarm was caused in the vicinity of Hungerford-
market, London, in consequence of a fire breaking out on the
wharf of the market, occasioned by some boys accidentally
emptying their pipes on a waggon laden with straw. On the
sudden outbrezk messengers were despatched for the Chandos-
street, Watling-street, West of England, and various other
engines, which promptly arrived, and speedily got to work,
with a good supply of water from the mains of the New River.
The wind blowing strongly, the flames spread with amazing
rapidity, and five carts and one waggon belonging to Mr. Mil-
igan, hay and strawdealer opposite the booking-office, on the
wharf, as well .e Mr. T. kiendersua'3 cavts; speedily ignited.
The firemen worked most strenuously, and by dint of great
perseverance the flames were subdued, but not until the straw
and carts were nearly destroyed.
LORD Jorm Rus-sr.r.L.—Lord John Russell is no longer a
member of the Administration. In consequence of repre-
sentations from some of the members of the Government in
the House of Commons as to the difficulty under which they
laboured with regard to the motion of Sir E. B. Lytton, his
lordship came to the resolution of removing their embarrass-
ment by retiring from the Ministry. Accordingly, at his re-
quest, Lord Palmerston yesterday acquainted the Queen with
the resolution to which Lord John had come, and her Majesty
was pleased to accept his resignation. No successor to Lord
John Russell as Secretary of State for the Colonies has been
appointed, but it is not improbable that one will be desig-
nated for her Majesty's approval at the Cabinet Council to be
held this afternoon. We cannot, of course, speak with cer-
tainty upon the subject, but we believe it is not unlikely that
the new Colonial Secretary will be taken from amongst the
present members of the Cabinet, and we apprehend that his
fitness for the post will be at once recognized by the country
and the colonies.—Globe, of Saturday.
THUNDERSTORM ON SATURDAY.—ShortIy after 6 o'clock
on Saturday morning, the metropolis was visited by a violent
thunderstorm, which continued for nearly an hour. The
lightning was of a vivid character. The rain fell in torrents,
and many of the small streets at the east end of London were
flooded for several hours. The market gardeners' grounds
were also inundated, and considerable damage was done by
the great fall of rain. At Bristol the storm took place an
hour or two previously. It commenced about half-past three
o'clock, and exceeded in violence anything of the kind that
has occurred in that city for the last 30 years. The thunder
was very violent, and the lightning so vivid that the Captains
of African and Indian ships in the port describe it as being
the nearest approach to a tropical tornado that they ever
witnessed in this country. Considerable damage was done by
the hail, which beat the wheat down in all the surrounding
country, and broke thousands of panes of glass; and at St.
George's,Gloucestershire,the electric fluid struck a house near
the Don John's-cross, destroyed the chimneys, and split the
house from the roof to the basement story.
SUNDAY DISTITEBANCES IN LONDON. HYDE-RAIZ/K.—
The Sunday demonstrations in this park are unmistakably dying
out, and in another week or two there will be no trace left of
the commotion. On Sunday the number of people assembled
showed a decided falling off, and the more respectable classes
held themselves carefully apart from the crowds of urchins
and thieves who had collected. Of course, they did all in their
power to get up a disturbance, rushing hither and thither,
making as much noise as possible, and scurrying away as
soon as they came in collision with the police. Beyond a con-
siderable amount of pocket-picking very little mischief was
done, and the number of offenders taken into custody tended
powerfully to check the disposition to riot. The police did not
show in the park itself, but at the different outlets and in the
neighbourhood they were mustered- in ample force, while
a mounted patrol kept up with the quick movements of the
mob, and prevented any serious injury to property being at-
tempted. No carriages appeared in the drive, so that no fa-
cilities existed for getting up a disturbance, and we may fairly
hope that next Sunday afternoon the park will present its
usual peaceable aspect. Two attempts were made by the
rabble to penetrate into Belgravia from Albert-gate, but both
were promptly repulsed by the police, and the ringleaders ar-
rested.
STATE OP THE MORMON COMMUNITY.—The Cambridge
0h.•.,,,;,1. Rives a letter from Salt Lake City by a woman who
bad embraced tile ‘l.lmign. and left that neiolbour-
hood. The expose speaks for itseir
and Mormonism in the old country are two entirely distinct
systems. You know not whom to trust; in fact, you are sus-
picious of everybody, and everybody suspects you. Human
life is of no value here ; cutting throats is as carelessly talked
of from the stand as clipping your finger-nails ; indeed, if they
consider you becoming at all disaffected to their principles, it
is considered doing you a kindness to kill you, that your soul
may be saved. It is heresy to think of leaving the, society ;
and should any make the attempt, every obstacle is thrown in
their way. Scandal and lies the people fatten on. I would
defy the smallest village in the world to propagate the same
with more avidity than this people. A woman's character is
taken away by the slightest breadth ; you are at everybody's
mercy, no matter how low, mean, or contemptible the party
may be ; and woe to you should your husband be on a mission!
They set husband' against wife : try to get the husband into
'plurality; and women's hearts are as ruthlessly broken as a
piece of straw by bending. Divorces can be readily obtained,
for from five to terrdollars ; and there exists not, I verily be-
lieve, as I believe in a God, a more miserable, broken-hearted,

essential points in a house, viz., washing, scrubbing, and cook-
ing; the latter item is by no means an unimportant one in a
Yankee household, as Yankee Doodle must have tea three
times a day, and hot bread at each meal. The United States
sent out a detachment of men in the fall, ostensibly en route
to California, but really to investigate the many crying atroci-
ties in this horrible place. There has been a slight intermix-
ture with the officers and our people in society; but I think
Brigham was afraid of their influence, and at once, without any
preliminiaries, they were denounced from the stand in the
most bitter terms ; and so general was the insult that the
commanding officers ordered the United States flag to be taken
down. Happy as 'I should be to save others from the degrada-
tion and misery of this evil place, I dare not have my name
known, or my head would pay the forfeit ; and they would
think they were doing God and me service. Although I have
lost all desire for life, I should dread falling into their hands;
for verily the tortures of the Inquisition were nothing to those
they inflict here, and in the end I should be consigned to a
horrible decapitation."

TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1855
STREET PREACHING.
--41.---
ONE of the special characteristics of the Christian
mission was stated, b 3 its Divine Fou—nder, 'to The,
that the Gospel was preached to the poor; and, that
she was the " Church of .the Poor," was once one of
the chief glories of the Church of England. This
character she earned by providing, through the
bounty of her richer children, that in every parish in
the land the Gospel machinery should be brought
home to each man's door, and that its ministry to him
should not depend on his ability to pay for it. That
the sacred labourer is worthy of his hire, is certainly
a Christian principle ; but' not that his labours should
be placed on a level with secular employments, and
the pecuniary support of the labourer calculated as a
quid pro quo for the value of his services.
It is impossible to travel through the parishes of
England, without perceiving how strictly, •in theory,
the Church has acted upon this principle ; it is impos-
sible to examine the lavish profuseness of her noble
ecclesiastical foundations, without thankfully acknow-
ledging how well she has fulfilled her Lord's mission
in this particular. The darker side of the picture,
however, remains for us, and for days of " peculiar
Gospel enlightenment." It is equally impossible to
see the parish churches, in their present desolation,
or to walk through the districts of our towns, without
being compelled to admit that the Church of England
no longer in fact possesses this high character.
With regard to many of her finest parish churches,
given to the poor by the pious liberality of our ances-
tors, they have been taken from them, and placed at
the disposal of the richer classes, by the erection of
pews, guarded by doors and numbered as part of
a rented property, belonging, for all uses, to
the -person - rents them. In numberless
cases, where the most liberal endowments have beep
made for the frequent performance of divine ser-
vice, and the maintenance of a sufficient body of
clergy, these endowments have been stolen for the
benefit of a lay impropriator, and barely enough left
for the support of a single minister, the assistance of
one of our charitable societies being necessary to
maintain a second. But these, we may say, were the
crimes of an earlier generation. Let us ask, what we
are doing to extend the blessings of the unpurchased
Gospel through the unprovided districts of our towns ?
Kai, whatever we have done, or whatever we are
doing, this is confessed on all sides, that the Church
has not yet regained her hold upon the poor. Churches
are rising around us, but they are not built for the
poor. Eloquent proclamations of the Gospel ring in
our ears on all sides, but the rich purchase them for
themselves. Each man pays for his religion as for
any other luxury, or, if you will, necessity, of his life.,
A preacher is " liked ;" a Church is built for him
that is, a permanent investment is made for his mainte-
nance ; his admirers appropriate its sittings, and they
think their homage to religion has been paid. They
rush in crowds to hang upon his accents, and think
they must be very earnest followers of the Gospel.
They listen, perhaps, to his denunciations of a corrupt
religion, and flatter themselves that they are cham-
pions for the purity of Christianity. They feed, or,
think they feed, from a plenteous table, and the pri-
vilege of the poor is, that, perchance, they may gather
up some of the crumbs which fall from the entertain-
ment of their betters. It is clear that popular reli-
gion has not yet found out the way of carrying the
Gospel in its integrity to the poor.
" The poor will not come to Church!" Granted.
But this is a strange complaint from you who do not
build churches for the poor. This is a grave inconsis-
tency in your mouths who absolutely refuse to have
churches built for the poor. This is but a vain lip
lamentation from you who interfere with the inten-
tions of earnest men with your miserable disputes and
factious accusations, while the poor perish around you,
and who yourselves do not take up the work which
you prevent others from doing, because you disagree
with them on some point of doctrine or peculiarity of
form.
But we may yet find opportunity to expound our
idea of the causes of this fact which stares us in the
face, viz., that the Church has lost her hold upon the
poor ; and also of the remedies which the case demands.
At present we are pressed with one mode of remedy
which has regained of late the prominence it had lost,
and which has occupied much local attention during
the last few days.
We took occasion, some time since, to allude to the
advisability, in the " present distress," of street preach-
ing, conducted with caution and judgment. And the
philosophy, if we may so employ the term, of street
preaching, we appirhend to be this : that it should be
used only as a preparation to the direct agency of the
Church. We must not have Christianity expounded
at the corners of our streets and in the market place
as a mere school of ethics, or system of doctrines
which each man may adequately realise, and then be
left to himself. Street preaching is a mere endeavour
to startle into inquiry the careless and profligate, to
argue from their experience of some mysterious power
of evil which tyrannises over their inner man, and
crushes every better aspiration to the need in which
they stand of a deliverance, to the importance of
the fact that a Deliverer has come upon earth,
and that if they are willing they may be brought
within the scope of that " Mighty power whereby He
is able to subdue all things unto Himself." If the
example of the Apostles be adduced for street preach-
ing, from the naked fact that they did preach in the
highways and thoroughfares, it must be followed to
s issue. With them Christianity was not merely
the hearing and believing of certain doctrines, but the
induction into a community ; and of those who ac-
cepted their teaching it was recorded that the LORD
added them to the Church, and that they continued
steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship,
and in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers.
v.,,aching, therefore, must not be adopted as a
building churches, and setting up the
substitute
full machinery of the Gospel. It must be used as a
mere check to the everyday course of blind wicked-
ness travelled by the besotted thousands who are
perishing for lack of knowledge. It is not the remedy
for their ills, but it is to inform them of their need of
a remedy, and to induce them to turn aside from the
way of their wickedness to the messenger whom
CHRIST has commissioned on earth to lead their foot-
steps to the cross.
It was with this idea that, in our previous remarks
on the agency of street preaching, we recommended
this mode of its employment, namely, that a district
should be marked out and appropriated to a particular
pastor with his assistants ; and that these clergy
should undertake the public invitation of the people
committed to their charge—that, having built up a
living Church, a school-room or temporary building
having been used in the meanwhile, a material temple
of the Lord should rise in their midst; built for them,
perhaps partially built by them, made theirs, that
they might hereafter enjoy the blessings which they
had learnt amid many difficulties to feel their want of
and to appreciate.
without, therefore, arguing it on the ground of
ecclesiastical order,---which, if there be such a thing as
order, must be at
once decisive against one pastor's
preaching in the parish
of another without that
other's consent,---it will be at once apparent what view
we take of the scheme set on foot by the Rev. Dr.
111`1•Inux, of preaching on the Exchange Flags. If
the object of street preaching be what we have supposed,
that must be a very inadequate mode of conducting
it, by which it is turned into a mere advertised attrac.
tion for novelty-hunters and personal admirers. To
select a respectable area in the middle of the counting-
houses, and business resorts of the merchants and
middle classes, and invite those who may choose for
some motive or other to come, is not carrying the
Gospel to the hovels of the poor. This is not going
'out into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring-
ing in the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and
blind ; it is not going. into_ the highwap and hedges,
and compelling them to come in. Dr. 31`NEILE may
say that, without wishing his plan to be followed in
every respect, his intention is merely to make the
Practice of open-air preaching respectable for his less
known brethren. But is the example of so pleasant a
mode of its performance likely to incite them to
the endurance of its harsher and heavier inflictions ?
Will they be induced ; by this display with a flourish of
trumpets, and a flattering audience drawn from all
parts of the town, to plod on in unknown paths,
where no admiring eye can cheer, where notoriety
cannot tickle vanity, and excitement carries with it no
charm ? No. They will strive to escape the disa-
greeables of their duty ; and their work will fail through
a disregard of that great law alike of morals and of
religion, that no permanent good is ever done in this
world but through self-denial and suffering. Really,
if the Rev. Doctor wishes to set an effective example,
he will in future confine himself to his own district ;
and, giving him credit for the best intentions, we do
not think it necessary to say more at present on the
subject.
FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.
MONDAY MORNING,
TITB past has been a busy and a bustling week in all those
places "where politicians most do congregate." The Clubs
have exhibited an amount of commotion akin to that which
apiarists inform us takes place in a bee-hive, when the ento-
mological republic, having become too hot to hold its members,
is involved in the anarchy of a revolutionary movement which
ends only with thedeath or extrusion of one of the contending
h-oits. The House of Commons has been convulsed in all its
points, the galleries and division lobbies sharing in the agita-
tion ; nay more, the Council Chamber itself has once more
been the scene of those amiable contentions which some
months ago were of such frequent occurrence ; and which
were intimated to the outer world by the mysterious announce-
ment that " Ministers remained in close deliberation for up-
wards of three hours." A declaration which those pretending
to be in the secret interpreted into a confession that Ministers
have been in hot and violent altercation for the time specified,
and that in most cases it conveyed to the Ministerial hangers-on
intelligence of a similarly pleasing character to that communi-
cated to an anxious ship's crew, when, during the night, they
are assailed by the sudden and alarming cry of "breakers a-head."
Every one felt assured of an impending crisis, from the
ominous Parliamentary conclusion of the preceding week,
which was wound up by the melancholy display of -Lord
Join. RUSSELL in his frequently enacted character of the
Double-dealer. Consequent on the discreditable disclosures
made by his Lordship in the House on the evening of Friday
se'nnight, and which, besides the condemnation of friends and
foes in that august assembly, drew down upon his devoted
head the unmitigated indignation of the country, Sir E. B.
LYTTON gave notice on Tuesday night of a motion to the
effect, "That the conduct of the Minister charged with the
negotiations at Vienna, and his continuance in office as a
responsible adviser of the Crown, have shaken the confidence
which the country should place in those to whom the adminis-
tration of public affairs is entrusted." The intimation of a
motion-so pointedly in unison with popular feeling, yet withal
so temperately expressed, and so extensively sympathised in
by the House of Commons, as well as by their constituents,
was the first thing which appears to have created alarm for the
safety of their places in the ministerial mind. To gain time
for a consideration of the defensible points of the position, was•
the first object clutched at—to secure the uncertain support of
waverers—and to enlist the Irish Brigade, or, as they delight
to call themselves,the cohortof "fifty independent votes," was
the next Move, and both of these "dodges" were played of
with a skill and hardihood which could only have been ac-
quired by extensive and frequent practice. The motion is to
decide the important question whether the nation will tolerate
the continuance in office of a minister who entertains, or at
least professes a public and a private opinion, diametrically
opposed to each other on so important a -point as the continu-
ance of war, or the conclusion of peace; and by implication
whether his colleagues, who were cognizant of these discre-
pant views, and continued to act in concert with him, are not
as bad and as untrustworthy as he is. Such a motion is a
matter of no trivial moment. It broadly impugns the honour
of one member, and touches nearly the reputation of all the
cabinet ; and it is brought forward in no petulant spirit ; nor
is it tabled by an, intriguer for place. A motion so pregnant
with consequences is one which no ministry can lie under and
retain any function of utility. So long as the accusations it
implies are unrebutted, the moral influence of the Cabinet is
annihilated ; and, under these circumstances, the course of
action open to a man of spirit, or of a ministry which covetted
power merely that it might serve the country, is to meet and
if possible to disprove the accusations. To such a course of
behaviour the PALMERSTON administration makes no pretence.
Instead of offering facilities for bringing the question to im-
mediate issue, the PREMIER treats the subject with his cus-
tomary levity, and when asked if it would be convenient
to take the discussion on this very important motion on Fri-
day, the day usually set apart for questions of supply, he an-
swered snappishly that Friday was set apart for discussing
" The New Partnerships Bill" and the " Limited Liability
Bill." Two topics peculiarly apposite to the ricketty condition
of the Cabinet, without doubt, but still not of a sufficiently
important nature to take preference of one which, by its moral
influence, paralysed the whole functions of Government at a
juncture of the national affairs when united counsels and com-
bined energies are indispensable to the safety of the State.
The unbecoming facetiousness of the noble PREMIER MS so
pointedly rebuked by Mr. DISRAELI, that for once Lord PAL-
MERSTON was checked " dead up," and with an assumed air
of indifference he agreed to peril the existence of the Adminis-
tration on the issue of the motion this evening. In the mean
time, however, all the manoeuvres of party tactics had been
pressed into the service of the impeached Ministry. Conces—
sions had been made to a deputation of the "Brass Band," by,
which it was hoped to secure their aid in the event of a close-
contest. Other means also were not neglected, and rumours
were industriously circulated by and among the Ministerial
underlines to the effect that, like CURTIUS of old, Lord.
Joan would plunge into the gulf which, unless propitiated
by a sacrifice of that description, would assuredly swallow
up the whole Cabinet. The magnanimity of the proposedsolf-
immolation was praised in his lordship's hearing, amidst strong
expressions of regret for the necessity of the sacrifice. Still
his lordship made no sign. Other hints were thrown out as
to the necessity of providing a Cabinet JONAH, who by-being
thrown overboard might still the raging waters which
threatened to engulf the ministerial barque. But still Lord
Rum gave small show of understanding ; and he who was so
sensitively prompt with his resignation on a recent occasion,
which merely threatened to unship his colleagues, cosid not be
made to budge when another set of colleagues would by his
„c„es„,tion obtain a ulauxcU of rescue from impending ship.
wreck. More desperate expedients were resorted to, expedients
of so disreputable a kind as hardly to meet with. belief. In
reference to the position in which he was placed, the Daily
News says ;—" He was ready to stand the- brunt of the
threatened assault and to abide the consequences. Not so the.
men by whom he had been surrounded. Seared at the sound'
of the rising storm of popular indignation), and solicitous only
for the retention of power—men who six weeks ago were
ready to acquiesce without hesitation in the proposal of com-
promise with Russia suggested by Coant,Buox, have not been
ashamed to join in forcing Lord JonN to tender his resignation
to the head of the government. Through every rank and grade
of the party, efforts have been made to further this design. The
pride of the SECRETARY for the Cowsius having been stung
into making the offer we have mentioned, resort was had to
the respectable and high•spirited device of a round robin
addressed to Lord PALMERSTON, urging him to accept the
resignation. This document was actually hawked about the
precincts and passages of the House of Commons during the
sitting of the House, yesterday (Thursday), and while the
two noble lords continued to occupy their usual seats, side
by side, up= the-Treasury bench. We are unwilling to state
how many names of men calling themselves Whigs are
appended to it ; but, we believe, we may venture to say, that
the rebukes which its authors encountered from the manly
and independent members who refused to act a part fit only
for sailors in a mutiny on shipboard, served to convince them
that their clumsy device is one too shameless even for the
present House of Commons." The reader who cons over the
above, and reflects on some of the recent moves of Lord
Joint himself, will be involuntarily impelled to put the Whig
party in the position of SITYLOCK, and make it, in the language
of that worthy, exclaim to his lordship, " The villany you
teach me I will execute ; and it shall go hard but I will
better the instruction," Whether they made so plain a
declaration or not,. they seem to have acted on the maxim.
They do- not, -however, appear to have perilled their case
entirely on those means of accomplishing their purpose, strong
and disreputable as those means were. The Times says
`1 The members of the government in the House of Commons
not included in the Cabinet, represented by Mr. BouvEnn,
are reported to have informed him (Lord JOHN RUSSELL)
that they were not prepared to vote against Sir BuLvrEc.
LYTTON'S motion." The Times adds, " This removed all
doubt as to the result of the impending division." It left
poor Lord Josn no alternative but to " adjust his mantle ere
he fell," with the best grace he might ; and he resigned. The
preceding delineations of Whig perfidy and meanness are
drawn by " liberal" 'artists, and. froin'their knowledge of the
men, and also of the Jacts referredio, the_picture, however
humiliating and repulsive, is entitled to belief.
Of late Lord.Jourr RUSSELL has become somewhat noto-
rious.for th,e nature,
.the freedom, and the. peculiar fashion of
his explanations. Another scene, it is to be hoped the last one'
yet awaits him as an expository commentator on the sayings
and doings of his quondam colleagues. The eloquent phil-
fipple he delivered on the occasion of dismissing Lord PAL .
MERSTON from the Foreign Secretaryship, which that noble-
man held under his lordship, is too recent to have been for-
gotten, or to require repetition; he may, however, and in all
probability will, indulge in a few supplementary strokes just
to complete the portrait, and as it were bring it down to the
present day. His able performances in the portraiture of the
Earl of ABERDEEN and the Duke of NEWCASTLE will scarcely
require either repetition or retouching to render them crack
specimens of delineative, if not very friendly, art ; but, when
he comes to fill in the portraits of Mr. BOUVERIE and that
honourable gentleman's coadjutors, something racy, as well as
spirited, may be reasonably anticipated. His tour de force,
however, will, in all likelihood, be reserved for finishing the
high-minded devisers of the "round robin," or which the radical
scribe of the Daily News represents most unfairly as " fit
only for sailors in a mutiny on shipboard." No human con-
stitution, however, is equal to the tasks in this line to which
his lordship subjects himself, and even the amateur vigour of
voluntary performances of the kind referred to have a
debilitating effect on the performer; and to this condition
of humanity Lord Jonx RUSSELL forms no exception.
This fact was made painfully manifest on Friday evening,
when he essayed an answer to a question put by Mr.
DISRAELI, on the preceding night, when Lord Jou was not
in the House. It had been currently reported during the day
that the answer would be given, and at six o'clock, when the
sitting commenced, every thing gave indication of an ex-
pected statement of importance. The body of the house was
crowded by members; in the Peers' Gallery there was a con-
siderable gathering of peers, including the Earl of ALBE-
mARLE, Lord Wrifroan, and Lord CAMPBELL; and every
eye was fixed on the spot occupied by the expected orator.
After one disappointment, the audience were so far gratified
by his Lordship addressing himself to the task in hand,—the
expected explanation. The display was anything but a
pleasing or exciting one. He was evidently out of spirits and
out of humour. He spoke in a tone of voice indicative of ex-
treme dejection, and so low as to be scarcely audible. His
speech, which was but a brief one, produced but little' effect,
and was heard very imperfectly. He reiterated his statement
that he considered the Austrian proposals might at the time
have been accepted with advantage. The statement fell upon
listless and incredulous ears; and when he came to the aver-
ment that he thought they could not now be adopted with
propriety—and that consequently he was for a vigorous
prosecution of the war, his declaration was received with
contumelious laughter ; even his own friends of the old Whig
party Smiling scornfully at the attempted double. That very
pure tribe now affect to view what he thought and they ad-
mitted to be strokes of profound cunning, as childish indica-
tions of weakness and deceit which never imposed upon any
one. They profess now to say that by his last false. move
he has rudely destroyed all faith in his capacity as a states-
man ; and what is more, that he has destroyed all confidence
in his sincerity and truthfulness as a man—that lie has corn.
mitted political suicide. So complete a political and moral
prostration has seldom fallen to the lot of any individual who
held a prominent place in the national eye.
In the meantime, the result of Sir E. B. LYTTON'S, motion
is anxiously canvassed in the political circles of all parties.
On the part of the Government out-and-out supporters-, it is
said that, by a skilful application of his carefully-studied tac-
tics,—and now that he has got rid of Lord JOHN, as' a kind
of " Old Man of the Sea," who rode upon and galled the neck
of his administration,—LordPAlMEßSTON will defeat the mo-
tion by a considerable majority. On the other hand, they
maintain that, if hard run on a division, or even if beaten, he
will not resign, but have recourse to a dissolution,- appealing
to- the country on his determination to prosecute the. war
with' vigour and alacrity. Many individuals, however, and
the parties who have probable means of knowing, declare
that the whole Government must go with Lord Jour RE'S--
SELL ; that the country is heartily-sick of one and all of them,
and will admit of no compromise in getting rid of them. A
few,-who profess to know exactly how the matter rests; will
have it that the Conservative party have the game entirely' in
their own hands. These individuals maintain that an. influ-
ential deputation of the Conservative party left Lonibm im-
mediately on its being known that the PALMERSTON Cabinet
had, resolved to eject Lord Jourr, and that that deputation
proceeded directly to Knowsley, to consult with the Earl of
DERBY; who received them most kindly and entered =into
their views with alacrity. A prevalent statement among.the
promulgators of the list-mentioned rumour is to the effect
that a strong 'Conservative Government will be immediately
formed, among the first of whose proceedings will be auappeal
to the constituencies:- Whatever shall come out of' it, the
Whigs- seem disposed to put their house in order, afar as
they are able, and to provide apartments, if possible,. for the
more-necessitous and clamorous of their friends. On Friday
a report obtained confident circulation in Lincoln's-Inn;. that
Chief Justice JERVISi' of the Common-Pleas, will immediately
resign his seat, and be succeeded by Sir A. COCICRVEN? Lord
PaLarzaSTON'S Attorney‘General.
As on similar previous occasions, everything has giTen:pace,
in the public mind, to a consideration of the government
dead-lock. Even the war itself, out of which all the contre-
temps of recent occurrence have direetlyor indirectly sprang,
has for the instant ceased to occupy the chief place in general
attention. Still the morsels of intelligence which come fre-
quently, although in no instance fraught with mush informa-
tion, or made the bearers of very important results,. are never-
theless so far satisfactory that, while detailing no great or
startling achievement, they are destitute of evil tidings, and
are on the whole favourable to our ultimate suceesa. The
attacking works of the English have been pushed, with suc-
cess, considerably nearer the Redan ;. one account- states that
the cemetery so gallantly taken by our troops on.the 18th of
last month, and so unaccountably resigned after having been
held for fourteen hours, was re-occupied by our men on the
following day, and still remais- in our possession. In the
meantime, Prone various sources,information is received repre-
senting the state of the Russian army as very deplorable, and.
their losses, in the way of transmitting reinforcements to the.
Crimea, as gigantic and overwhelming. Our new commander.
in-chief appears to be labouring on, undismayed by difficulties
or opposition, both of which he appears to disregard. The
health of our troops is represented as in all respects satisfac-
tory on the whole, and everything appears,to wear the air of
approaching success. As regards the proceedings of General
PELISSIEMi opinion seems divided in the Crimea and in Paris,
as in some degree in this country. In most respects he is
regarded, as a brilliant and dashing soldier who has no
idea of fear, and . some say too little of consequences=--such
a general, indeed, as, would lead a brave army through
any amount of obstacles and opposition in the field, and as
one in every respect equal to any emergency which can be
aneeamifolly npposaci_by indomit.tia_will. and oveveonae by the
moat uncompromising activity, and the most daring enter-
prise. While such is the prevalent opinion respecting his
general merits and qualifications, military critics, and espe-
cially in France, where they are both numerous and accute,
concur in representing him as impetuous and rash, and as a
man not well fitted for the conduct of such an enterprise as
the reduction of a fortress like Sebastopol. In confirmation
of this theory, they point to numerous instances, in which
they maintain that the successes he has achieved in the
Crimea are not equal to the sacrifices at which they have been
attained ; and, as an irrefragable evidence of the accuracy of
these views, they point with melancholy significance to the
sad tissue of blunders which commenced, accompanied, and
concluded the desperate conflict of the 18th of June. One• of
these gentlemen, in speaking on the subject of Paaissixn's
qualifications, delivers himself as follows :—" The rapidity and
decision of the French Generalissirao's movements are pro-
verbial. ' Take me that battery, though it cost twenty lives,'
he says, and the troops rush to the exploit. The battery is
not taken, but forty lives are sacrificed. Well, then, try it
again at the expense of two hundred.' Four hundred fall !
Still the feat is not accomplished. Let the whole army go to
it—we must have it at any cost.' " Although these strictures
are, probably, over-severe, they are, unquestionably, so
far countenanced by facts ; and men of calm judgment, as
well as the most intrepid bravery, question sharply the tac-
tical wisdom which, commencing an attack with inadequate
means, is compelled to repeat it with quadruple or octuple the
forte. The failure, in the first place, they say, is attended with
a totally useless expenditure of means, and a depressing waste
' of life ; and they maintain that even the ultimate success so
achieved is diminished in value by the loss of prestige which
attended the repulse.
From the Baltic the intelligence received at the end of last
week, though not very decisive, is on the whole more en-
couraging. The destruction of a town in Finland, on the sth
instant, bears testimony to the active exertions of our fleet in
these hyperborean regions ; and the receipt of a despatch from
Admiral DIINDA.S, in which he communicates an account of a
discussion with the Russian authorities relative to the privi-
leges of flags of truce, indicates still more strongly the desire
of our enemies to depart as far as possible from the usages of
civilized war. •
While war and political changes have agitated the great
world, it is pleasing to observe that these Matters have not
entirely absorbed the general attention ; but that, on the con-
trary, elevated rank, breaking through the trammels of con-
ventional etiquette, and combining with humbler talent, has
lent a grace to seasonable benevolence. During the past week
private theatricals, for charitable objects, have occupied an in-
teresting position in the fashionable world. The drama,_ for
the nonce, forsaking the play-house, has been naturalised in
the mansions of the nobility ; and the sock and buskin have
been adjuncts to the furnishings of the drawing-room. On
Tuesday afternoon a private theatrical entertainment was
given at Grosvenor House, the proceeds of which were devoted
to help the suffering poor; and on the evening of the same
day, a dramatic entertainment, attended with the most entire
success, was given at Campden House, under the management
of Mr. CusuLas DICKENS, for the benefit of the Consumption
Hospital. On Friday, the gallery of Bridgewater House was
kindly set apart by the Earl and Countess of ELLESMERE, for
the performance of some dramatic entertainments, the pro-
ceeds to go in aid of the Hospital for Convalescents at Walton-
on-Thames, the funds of which institution have suffered severe
dilapidation through the failure of &MAHAN, PAUL, and .Co.
In each of the three instances the benevolent effort@ were
crowned with gratifying success. The ordinary theatrical
world is wagging pretty much as usual. At the Haymarket,
Miss PAIICIT has made her first appearance before a London
audience in Mr. THEODORE MARTIN'S charming translation
of " King Ren6's Daughter," and has, as might have been ex-
pected, from the genuine beauty of the drama, and the parti-
cular excellence of the lady's acting in it, produced a great
sensation. It is not a little singular that, although Miss
FAIICIT has frequently enacted the chief character in this
piece with distinguished success in the provinces, she should
not, till the other night, have adventured it before the London
critics. At the St. James Theatre, the celebrated tragedienne
Itacnpr, is to appear in several of her leading characters in the
plays of Les Horaces, Phedre, and Andromaque, commencing
on the evening of this day fortnight. On the conclusion of
her engagement, she will proceed to Liverpool, whence she is
to embark for America.
In the publishing world some little stir has been created by
the appearance of "A Vindication of Major-General the Earl
of LDCAN from Lord RAGLAN'S Reflections on his Conduct in
the Action at Balaklava," which has been issued by HATCH-
ARD. In this version of the case some new points in favour
of Lord LtrcA.N have been well put, indeed, clearly esta-
blished ; particularly as it appears Lord RAGLAN changed the
arrangements previously made between Sir COLIN CAMPBELL
and Lord LucAri, whereby the command of the cavalry was
virtually taken out of his lordship's hands. I was glad to
perceive you recently made honourable mention of the Law
Book of the season, Blackstone's Commentaries by WARREN.
By the profession it is looked on as of standard excellence,
and both amateurs and professional-men will find it of inesti-
mable value at the period of a general election,. which most
parties appear to consider imminent. An unusually large
impression of it (3,000) for a law book, has been, thrown off;
and the demand for it continues large and steady. I perceive
the John Bull speaks very favourably of it. The Pori' LAu-
BEA:TB and Mr. FESTIIS BAILEY both announce new poems in
the press,- the of that by the latter to be entitled " The
Mystic." It is described as being very magnificent in its
imagety, and powerful in the postic style of its diction.
Other minstrels of less sonorous lyre are also, it is understood,
hatching•poetic broods, and, before thesere leaf of autumn,has
been shed, it is probable we shall be favoured with a consider-
able lock of APOLLO'S` fledglings.
THE REY, DR. 3P.NEILE, AFL► STREET
PREACHING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Stn,—l want this after:lcon to hear the Re-.- Dr. M'lsTeile
preach, as hebad announced' his intention of doing, on the
area in front of the Exchange; and it occurred to me, on re:
turning, that r would commit Tfew thoughts to paper, for the
chance of your deeming them worthy of insertion in your
journal. I think I may claim to be an impartial witness,
inasmuch as the mooted point of street preaching was one
freely discussed by the clergy of a town with which, I was
'connected before I came to Liverpool; and some of my
brethren and myself had almost resolved upon trying the
experiment before I-left. I- am not about, then, to.eater a
wholesale protest against the practice, which seems-to be
sanctioned, at least, if 'not recommended, in that part;of the
parable of the "great- supper," in which the master of the
house is represented as saying to his servant "Go out into
the streets and lanes of the city, * * into the high ways
and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may
be filled; —and which certainly 111 a: claim i-cry high precedent,
as having been the constant habit of Christ and his Apostles.,
The questions which I wish- to solve are—Lst : How far was
the place; occupied by the Rev. Doctor this day, adapted for
carrying ,out the practice-F-2nd : To what proportion of Ids
auditors was his address likely •to prove-edifying or profitable?.
I own, knowing the strength of lungs and power of elocution
undoubtedly possessed by the Preacher, Lwas not prepared for
the difikulty, which, (in common with myself,) must have been
experienced-by at least two-thirds of the congregated mass who
were really anxious to hear what he had to, say. I gradually
`mike:buy way from the outskirts of the-multitude, to within
twenty yards,- or less, directly in front of, the platform on
which, the- Rev. Doctor was-standing ; and even at that short
distanced could only hear a few isolated words. at intervals in
each sentence. The people- about me, after rain •efforts• to
penetrate the dense phalanx which had acquired -a nearer
position, were restlessly flitting about, cr hl very audible,
murmurs expressing their- inability to bear thus rendering-
that inability still more complete, both to themselves mato
their neighbours. Meanwhile, the confused sounds from.
behind proved that vast numbers were on: the spot, on the-
most aharitabie hypothe6s, from mere curiosity, without any
wish, even, to hear a message from God, through the voice
of Ilia ambassador.
The inferences which I drew were these.: The place is" •too
large—the crowd, in numbers, is too unmanageable—and,., if
the phy*eai powers of Dr. Nl'Neile are-unable to surmount
these obstacles, no one else need attempt.to do so.
Street preaching, if it is to do any good, must have a
local aim. It must not endeavour to draw together masses
from various parts of a large town, in a space calculated to
accommodate a great multitude ; but it: must be practised in
those particular streets, courts, or alleys, in which, without
'obstruction of public thoroughfares, the preacher may have
full evereand over the audience which he has to • address,
arrest their attention, and, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit
reach their hearts. Public advertisements, ..I re.ature to'
think, will not effect this. The street Preacher, I humbly
submit, should, by personal visitation, make known, in the
locality in which he means to preach, his intention of doing
so; and should take all proper means :to prevent its being
known generally. He may reasonably expect to receive a
deferential attention from, those whom he has personally in-
vited; but, I cannot help thinking, where general publicity
has been given, the number of idlers or curioas persons, who,
will congregate together, will altogether thwart the good in,
tentions of thepreacher, and result in evil rather than good.
I say, result in,evil; for a crowd, in itself,unless under bene-
ficial control, iedisposed for mischief. Thievesand adulterers
will, perhaps invariably, mingle with it ; and assuredly a crowd,
the principal part of which cannot possibly come under the
beneficial influence which is supposed to preside over it, will
fail to derive any profit from its concentration, and will
almost certainly give occasion for the commission of much sin.
Hence, I say, if we are to have street preaching,, let us not
aim at a popular demonstration. Let us remember that labour,
diligence, and perseverance, are, ordinarily, as necessary to
insure success in our profession—that of the Christian minis-
try—as in any other ;—that we are not to look for miraculous
agencies in this age, but for a blessing in proportion to the
self-denying exertions which we personally make to secure the
end which we have in view ; and that, while preaching is a
mighty engine for good to those who are really brought under
its influence, this class will consist,—not of those who idly
congregate from motives of curiosity, or worse motives still,—
but of those, 'for the most part, who, either from education,
habit,or personal contact with God's ministers, have been
induced to become hearers of the Word.
I inclose my card for your own information ; but I have a
strong repugnance to controversy, and do not mean to enter
into it.
Should you insert this letter, and should it elicit a reply, I
have no Intention of making a rejoinder. I would only say
with St. Paul, " Christ is preached, and I therein do rejoice,
yea and will rejoice."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

by several of the soldiers and sub-officers, that he had proposed
to them to desert, and that he would give them £4 a man, and
find them employment in France. He said he had already
settled with twenty. The prisoner, who pleaded for mercy, on
account of his wife and family: was remanded,

HOUSE OF LORDS.
MONDAY.
The Royal assent was given by commission to a number of
bills.
A long discussion took place upon the presentation of a
petition from certain native inhabitants of the presidency of
Madras, praying for a change in the mode of Indian govern-
ment.
The bills on the table were advanced a stage.
The House adjourned at 6.55 p.m.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
MONDAY.
The house met at four o'clock.
Mr. Grenville Berkeley took the oaths and his seat for
Cheltenham.
The house was summoned to the House of Lords, to hear
the royal assent given by commission to a number of public
and private bills.
Lord J. Russell entered the house shortly before half-past
four o'clock, and took his seat at the back of the ministerial
benches, just below Lord Seymour.
In reply to Captain Duncombe, Sir C. WOOD said the
release of the British officers and seamen taken at Hango had
been formally demanded on the part of Her Majesty's govern-
ment, but no answer had yet been received. The prisoners,
he understood, were well treated.
Lord PALMERSTON, ill answer to a question from Mr.
Moffatt, stated that, it would not be for the interests of the
public to place the Post-office upon the same footing as the
Customs or the Excise ; and, on consideration, he saw no rea-
son for proposing such a change.
Captain DIINCOMDE asked the noble lord whether, at any
time, a subsidy was contemplated for Austria by the British
government ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied : No, Sir ! Never !
LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S EXPLANATIONS.
On the motion that the order of the day be postponed, for
the purpose of proceeding with Sir E. B. Lytton's motion,
LORD J. RUSSELL rose and said, that on Thursday last he
had stated to Lord Palmerston that he wished to retire from
office, and he had to state that Her Majesty had been pleased
to accept his resignation, and he now held office only until
his successor was appointed. He then entered at great length
into an account of his proceedings at ,Vienna, and upon his
return, observing that it was true he had promised to lay
before the Government in the most favourable manner the
propositions that had been made to him by Austria. He i
did so :in conjunction with other persons of great weight and
authority, and acted in conjunction with the Ministers of Fo-
reign Affairs for France and Turkey. He brought this proposal
to this country upon the 29th of April. On the 30th, a Cabinet
Council was held, the result of which was that the propositions
not adopted by Her Majesty's Government. He then justi-
fied his conduct in recommending the adoption of these pro-
positions, stating that the rejection of them did not alter his
opinion of their merits; and replied to Mr. Disraeli's objections,
that if they were received, there was no great issue at stake
to justify the exertions which this country was making to
carry on the war. It was because the war was necessary that
these exertions should be made, and he was the bearer
chioautedghtthtehmeyagwneitruedaetoftthhaet
peril to Turkey; he conceived the power of the project of
toifmteh
fite ptio.o
be
eo sai
Russia to be such that it was necessary, if possible, to combine
tcicoenpstedb.ecallusee appreciated
all the great powers of Europe against her, in order that peace
might be secured. Such was the foundation of his opinions—
not formed suddenly upon the merits of the proposition ; but
when Lord Westmoreland wrote, on the 16th May, a despatch
stating that the Austrian Government conceived they had
fulfilled the conditions of the treaty of December 2nd, and
that they would not make the refusal of Russia to accept the
proposition a casus belli, but only a ground for breaking off
the Conferences. When the government received that de-
spatch, tllere was no doubt, on their part, that it was not
worth their while to go into Conference to support a prove-
sition of the kind there stated? which was less favourable to
the Allies than that proposed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys, which
it was nearly certain, Russia would reject, and which Austria
would not go to war to support. From that time, therefore,
there was altogether an end to negociations with Austria
for the purpose of proposing an ultimatum to Russia,,
and that the war must be continued in order to
maintain the obeets of the Allies. It had been made a-
reproach to him by Mr. Disraeli and others, that though he
had been the bearer of the Austrian propositions, he had
spoken in favour of a vigourous prosecution of the war. He
could not see what else he could possibly do. The govern-
ment had determined that the negotiations must be put an
end to, and what other means were there left for obtaining
for a solution to the third point. The government were
quite right in not making a communication to the house of
the Austrian propositions at that time. The decision of
Austria not to interfere by force nor to move her armies upon
Russian trritory, but on the contrary to withdraw from any
participation in the the contest, and even" to diminish and..
reduce here froces having been taken, it was evident from that
moment that Russia which had been threatened, and has felt
lgpressure of the great increase of the Austrian army, feel-
What preessure taken off, would immediately feel herself
at liberty to detatch some of the best troops in her army to
the shores of the Crimea, to oppose the armies of Great Britain
and France, render these circumstances, it would have been
most unjustifiable for the government to have stated prema-
turely the decision of Austria not to propose an ultimatum to
Russia. He could not conceive a greater dereliction of duty in
such acase. The noble lord further defended his opinion in this
respect, adding that the government were united in the course
that had been taken. He further stated that when Mr. Gib-
son brought forward his question last Friday, after all that
had then occurred, he should have been totally unworthy of
his opinion if he had shrunk from meeting it with the expla-
nation which he then made. What else could he do than own
and admit the part he had taken in these transactions, He
should have been ashamed of himself if he had denied that
which he had done, and that whieh was his conscientious
opinion. The hon. baronet (Sir E. Lytton) thought that the
course he had taken was a ground for want of confidence in
the whole Administration, and he was of opinion that because
he (Lord J. Russell) held these views in May, he was incapable
of serving Her Majesty. Now that impression appeared to
preuail generally, and he consequently thought it necessary to-
tender his resignation. Lord Palmerston having taken this
course, he did not feel at all discontented with the position in
which he found himself. He saw no reason to do so. He had
always acted from what he believed to be for the benefit of the
country. He had turned over this question again and again
with a view to the public interest. He had advised that
which he thought expedient for the eountry, and, whatever
might happen, he had the satisfaction of having acted accord.
ing to his conscience-
SIR E. B. LYTTON'S MOTION.
Sir E. B. LYTTON then rose and said that, in bringing for.
ward his resolution he hoped the house would be as indulgent
to him as they had been to the noble lord, placed as he was
under the necessity of bringing forward a motioe against a
government which, but for the conduct of one of its members,
was entitled to their indulgence and commpassion. He then
proceeded to criticies the noble lord's speech, who, he said, as
a member of the government, had called upon the country to
spill its best blood in a war which he, as a negotiator, believed
unnecessary. Adverting to the Vienna correspondence, he
expressed surprise that the noble lord had not retired from
the cabinet within a week after he returned. It was surpris-
ing that the noble lord at the head of the government had not
seen that his government could not go on while its members
were so completely divided in opinion, as was apparent from
the correspondence that the Secretaay for the Colonies and the
Secretary for Foreign Affairs were wholly at variance on the
question of counterpoise. He (Sir. E. B. Lytton) gave a hearty
concurrence to the sound and healthy tone of Lord Claren-
don's correspondence, but how could Lord Palmerstone think
of going on when he contrasted the opinions of that nobleman
with those of Lord J. Russell. Was Lord Clarendon to be
considered the specimen of the Cabinet? Were they all
united—were the first Lord of the Admiralty and the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer in unison with the rest of the Cabinet
in carrying on the war ? The Cabinet was said to be united
last May, yet it was now admitted that there were differences
of opinion ; and he would remark that a discussion like this
would scarcely be excused by the plea of expediency. He
would withdraw his motion, for all its objects had been at-
tained.
Mr. BOUVERIE said that, as the motion had vanished into
thin air, he would offer a few words upon a subject personal
to himself. He had seen a statement that he was one of some
members of the government who had waited upon Lord Pal-
merston, to say that they could not resist the motion of the
hon. baaonet. The very reverse of that statement was the
truth. The fact was, that he had refused to be a party to
such a representation, upon the distinct ground of his personal
attachment to Lord J. Russell ; but he stated that, as a friend
of the noble lord, he was ready, however painful it might be,
to convey to him the general impression among his colleagues.
In this he thought he was acting as a true friend of the
noble lord—(a laugh)—and he was satisfied that his noble
friend fully appreciated the motives which led him to take
such a step. (A langh.)

THE Curative Properties of the Genuine Jamaica
SARSAPARILLA are so well known that eulogium is almost
unnecessary; but perhaps it may not be out of place to call
attention to the fact that, for nearly half a century, JOHN
PRIESTLEY'S CONCENTRATED FLUID EXTRACT have been
and still stands pre-eminent, as decidedly the most efficient and
agreeable preparation of that valuable alterative, being prepared
by a peculiar and scientific method. Nocturnal pains in the groin,
scrofulous enlargement of the glands, cutaneous affections, chronic
rheumatism, &c., all speedily yield to its wonderful influence
It purifies the blood, and, by giving to the cutaneous vessels
a healthy and regular action, it rem oves that disposition to
erysipelatous inflammation from which so many persons periodi-
cally suffer ; and when taken in the spring and fall of the
year, as an alterative medicine, it will be found to impart that
strength to the constitution which is indicated by firmness of
flesh, good appetite, and freshness of the complexion.
N.B. To persons of a plethoric habit it is most invaluable, as it
thins and promotes a free circulation of the blood, thereby pre-
venting attacks of apoplexy. •

THE WAR.
THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.
ADDITIONAL details of the events connected with
the unfortunate attacks by the Allies, on Sebastopol,
on the 18th of last month, continue to be received.
They do not much alter the general complexion of
affairs in relation to those proceedings as they have
been already stated. Some misapprehension appears
to have prevailed in reference to a sortie made by the
Russian garrison on the morning of that day, at a very
early hour, and which, according to some reports, is
said to have precipitated the French attack on the
Malakhoff, and so to have led to the disasters which
attended that attack. The discussions on this subject
have not tended in any great degree to clear up the
point, which is now of less moment. According to
the latest accounts received, the progress of the Allies
in their measured advance upon the defences of the
town have not been materially retarded by the reverses
referred to. On the contrary, they seem to be pro-
ceeding with renewed energy ; and, if we may judge
from the accounts transmitted, with a degree of su
cess which augurs ultimate and not distant triump
On Saturday, the 23rd of June, the allied position and
its neighbourhood was visited by a thunderstorm of ,
great severity, accompanied by a very heavy fall of
rain, which did a great deal of injury. All reports
concur in representing the health of the Allies as good.
Concerning the thunderstorm and the general state
of affairs,the Times correspondent, writing on the 25th,
says:
The storm which burst over the south-eastern portion of
the Chersonese on Saturday night has done more damage than
we could have anticipated. Men were drowned in ravines
converted by the tornado into watercourses, were carried off
roads by mountain torrents, and dashed against hill sides ;
beasts were swept away into the harbour and borne to sea;
huts were broken up and floated into the ocean ; the burial-
grounds near Balaklava were swept bare, and disclosed their
grim army of the dead in ghastly resurrection, washed into
strange shapes from out their shallow graves ; and, greatest
calamity of all, the railway was in various places decomposed,
ripped up and broken down, so as to be unserviceable at our
greatest need. Orders have been sent down to urge on the
necessary repairs, for the demands of the batteries for shot and
shell are pressing, and the electric telegraph has been repeatedly
in use to-day to force on the attention of the authorities at
Balaklava the necessity there is for their promptest exertions,
and to order them to send up supplies of materriel
for our fifth bombardment as speedily as possible The
French say they are quite ready, and they have
received from us 1,500 32-pound shot for their guns
to-day. The railway fails at a critical period, but even
if it were in its usual state we could not hope to be in a con-
dition to begin a heavy fire for some time to come, and I
believe it will be fully a fortnight or three weeks before the
necessary supplies will be brought up to the front. The
repairs to the railway will be effected in ten days. Mr. Beatty
and Mr. Campbell are away at Heraclea surveying the coal
district, but their representatives are men of energy, and the
only obstructions to be dreaded will arise from the " navvies,"
some of whom have been behaving very badly lately. They
nearly all " struck work" a short time back, on the plea that
they were not properly rationed or paid, or that, in other words,
they were starved and cheated ; but the provost-marshal brought
some of them to a sense of their situation, and, indeed, the
office of that active and worthy person and of his myrmidon
sergeants has been by no means a sinecure between " navvies,"
Greeks, and scoundrels, of all sorts. The Croat insurrection is
suppressed, but the Croat idleness has not been by any means
stimulated into usefulness. No wonder Col. M'Murdo finds it
difficult to get men for the Land Transport Corps, although
even he is obliged to pay 2s. 6d. and 3s. a-day to native surid-
jees, so completely have we ruined the market. The losses in
the Land Transport Corps by death would be extraordinary
did we not find a parallel to them in the •Sardinian army of
Tchorgoun, which has lost in three weeks nearly 1,000 men by
cholera, dysentery, and diarrhoea. The Turks and French en-
camped in the valley suffer somewhat from the same diseases,
but it is observable that the men who die are recruits and old
men who are mostly unacclimatized. To understand the diffi-
culties in the way of what is called at home " taking the field,"
one must come out and stay out here. It would be much easier
to take Sebastopol thanto take the field. There are only three ac-
cessible passes, up the precipitous wall of rock which rises on
the north side of the Tchernaya, to the plateau on which the
Russians are encamped, and the precipice runs round to the
Belbek. These passes are so steep that an army would have
some difficulty in ascending them at its leisure, without re-
sistance from any enemy. But they are occupied wherever
engineering eyes detect the smallest weakness—they are com-
manded by batteries, intersected by positions threatened by
everhanging cliffs all ready for the lever. March round and
turn them ! Where and how ! We have no transport even
if we could march, and we cannot march, because Napoleon
himself would never lead an army into such defiles as guards
the Russian position. Whether we are not strong enough to
detach a great corps of 40,000 or 50,000 men to operate
against the Russians north of Sebastopol is not for me to
say; but it is certain that the base of operations for any such
corps must be the sea, till ample transport is provided. The
Crimea is to all intents and purports a desert—a Sahara,
waterless and foodless before an invading army. A long train
of provisions came into Sebastopol to-day, and the mirror tele-
graph, which works by flashes from a mound over the Belbeck,
was exceedingly busy all the forenoon. Troops were also ob-
served in motion on the hills opposite Inkerman. The weather
is warm, but there is a strong breeze of wind, which tempers
its heat. The rain has developed horrible effluvia in camp,
and sickness is rather on the increase. With great regret and
surprise we heard of Captain Lyons's death this evening.
THE ARMISTICE.
Concerning the armistice, the same correspondent,
writing on the 26th, says :
The sad history of the 19th, which 1 was obliged to inter-
rupt on the departure of the mail, is soon finished. The bodies
of many a brave officer whom I knew in old times—old times
of the war, for men's lives are short here, and the events of a
life are compressed into a few hours—were borne past us in
silence, and now and then, wonderful to relate, men with severe
wounds were still living, and able to give expression to their
sufferings by moans and sighs of pain. The spirit of some of
these noble fellows triumphed over all their bodily agonies.
" General !" exclaimed a sergeant of the 18th Royal Irish to
Brigadier Eyre, as he came near the place. in the cemetery
where the poor fellow lay with both his legs broken by a round
shot; " thank God, we did our work, any way. Had I another
pair of legs, the country and you would be welcome to them !"
Many men in hospital, after losing leg or arm, said they "would
not have cared if they had only beaten the Russians." The tor-
tures endured by the wounded were very great ; they lay in
holes made by shells, and were frequently fired at by the Rus-
sian riflemen when they rolled about in their misery. Some of
our men, however, report that the enemy treated them kindly,
and even brought them water out of the embrasures. They
pulled all the bodies of our officers which lay within reach up
to the abattis, and took off their epaulettes, when they had
any, and their boots, but did not strip them. It was observed
that the ditch of the abattis was in excellent order—that the
chevaux-de-frise had been repaired, and were very strong, and
that every effort had been used up to the moment before we
assaulted to render it, as it was, a formidahle obstacle to our
advance. It is said that the bottom of the ditch was filled
with bayonets, fixed firmly in the earth; and there is a report
that the Russians were employed during the night of the 17th
in repairing the abattis itself where it was injured by our
cannon. I have already tried to describe the nature of the
ground in the front of the abattis. It was in itself a con-
siderable impediment to regularity of formation. A line of
sentries was formed by the Russians as our burying parties
came out, and they advanced so far in front of the abattis that
General Airey was obliged to ;remonstrate with an aide-de-
camp of General Osten-Sacken, who ordered them to retire
nearer to the abattis. It was observed that these men were fine
tall, muscular, and soldierlike fellows. They were unusually
well dressed, in clean new uniforms, and were no doubt picked
out to impose upon us. Many of them wore medals, and seemed
veteran soldiers. Their officers had also turned out with unusal
care, and wore white kid gloves, patent leather boots, and white
linen. The mass of the Russians were gathered on the
towering parapets of the Redan and Malakhoff, and were not
permitted to come to the front. Their working parties
brought out all our dead, and laid them in front of their line
of sentries, whence our people carried them away. The
precautions which had been taken to prevent officers and men
getting through the lines sufficed to keep any crowd away,
but the officers on duty and the lucky men, and some
amateurs, who managed to get through the lines, formed
groups in front of the Redan, and entered into con-
versation with a few of the Russian officers. There was,
however, more reserve and gravity in the interview than has
been the case on former occasions of the kind. One stout
elderly Russian of rank asked one of our officers " How are
you off for food ?" " Oh ! we get everything we want ; our
fleet secures that." " Yes," remarked the Russian, with a
knowing wink, "yes ; but there's one thing you're not so
well off for, and your fleet can't supply you, and that's
sleep." " We're at least as well off for that as you are," was
the rejoinder. Another officer, in the coarse of conversation,
asked if we really thought, after our experience of the de-
fence they could make, that we could take Sebastopol. " We
must ; France and England are determined to take it." " Ah !
well," said the other, " Russia is determined France
and England shall not have it, and we'll see who has
the strongest will, and can lose most men." In the
midst of these brief interviews, beginning and ending
with bows and salutes, and inaugurated by the concession
of favours relating to cigars and lights, the soldiers bore
dead bodies by, consigning the privates to the burial grounds
near the trenches, and carrying off the wounded and the
bodies of the officers to the camp. Poor Forman's body was
one of the first found ; it was far in advance of where he came
out of the trench with his company of the Rifle Brigade, and
it was terribly torn with shot. It was generally observed by
some of the surgeons, however, that the wounds were cleaner
than they have been in previous engagements. This is some-
what remarkable, for the Russians fired all kinds of missiles—
bags of nails and fragments of bullets, shells, and balls, as
well as grape
. and canister. They were seen as we advanced
" shovelling" the shot into the muzzles of the guns. No
one can deny many of the officers the praise of extreme
bravery and devotion. In the midst of our fire they got up
oil the top and on the outside of the parapets, and directed
the fire of their men upon us. Several of them were knocked
over by round shot, shell, and rifle balls, while exposing them-
selves in this manner, but it scarcely speaks well for their
soldiers that they felt it necessary to set them such examples.
Colonel Dickson succeeded in obtaining Lord Raglan's per-
mission to open on the Russians from the 21-gun battery, and
swept them away in numbers as they crowded out to fire on
our broken columns and on our wounded men and fugitives.
The armistice lasted for upwards of two hours, and when it
was over we retired from the spot so moistened with our
blood.
RETENTION OP THE CEMETERY.
All the advantage we gained by the assault was the capture
of the Cemetery, and even that we had nearly abandoned,
owing to the timidity of
the
eof our generals. As you have
already learnt, the men in Cemetery and houses suffered
severely during the
18th t om. the enemy's fire, and the
soldiers in the latter were not able to withdraw till nightfall.
It was left to one of the Generals of Division to say what
should be done with the Cemetery, and he gave orders to
abandon it. On the following morning an officer of Engineers,
Lieutenant Donnelly, heard to his extreme surprise that the
position for which we had paid so dearly was not in our
possession. Re appreciated ita value—he saw that the
Russians bad not yet advanced to re-occupy it. With the
utmost zeal and energy he set to work among the officers in
the trenches, and begged and borrowed some 30 men with
whom he crept down into the Cemetery, just before the flag
of truce was hoisted. As soon as the armistice began the
Russians flocked down to the Cemetery, which they supposed
to be undefended, but to their great surprise they found our 30
men posted there as sentries, who warned them back, and in the
evening the party was strengthened, and we are now construct-
ing most valuable works and batteries there, in spite of a heavy
fire, which occasions us considerable loss. Such is the storythat
is going the round of the camp. Lord Raglan is said to have
found fault with General Eyre for -losing SO many men, but
the latter observed, that he had done what he was .ordered,
and that he had taken the Cemetery. There can be no doubt
but that our troops could have got into the town in the rear
of the Redan from the houses on the 18th, had they been
strong enough to advance from the Cemetery. Whether they
could have maintained themselves there under the fire of forts,
ships, and batteries, is another question. It is now shrewdly
suspected that inside the Redan, behind those outward and
visible walls of earth, there is another very strong work—a
kind of star fort of earth with sunken batteries—and it is
certain that inside the Malakoff works there are several lines
of battery which have never been unmasked. The enemy
have probably constructed large funnel-shaped pits behind
these works, into which shells roll and burst, as such a " dodge"
was found in the Mamelon. Inside the latter work were
splendid bombproofs for the men to retire into when our fire
became hot. They were large pits with 10 feet of earth, and
beams of wood across them, and were capable of holding a
strong body of men. In one some new sacks marked with
the broad arrow and B. 0. were found, in which were packets
of cartridges ready for use. Where did these sacks come
from P It is almost as strange as the English bread found at
Tchorgoun. There is talk of a spy being taken, or rather
discovered, in a sub-interpreter to the Commissariat, who
confesses he has been in communication with the Russians,
and revealed our attack to them. He will be shot, if this be
true.

At its early sitting, the house went into committee on the
Nuisances Removal Amendment Bill. After considerable dis-
cussion, the different clauses of the bill were disposed of, and on
the proposal of Sir B. HALL, some new clauses were agreed to
without discussion.—On the motion of Mr. HORSPALL, a clause
was adopted which provides that, on the certificate of the
medical officer to the local authority that any house was over-
crowded, proceedings might be taken to abate such overcrowd-
ing.—The house then resumed, and the Chairman reported the
bill to the house.
Mr. HOLLAND took the oaths and his seat for the borough
of Evesham, in the room of Mr. C. G. Berkeley, who had ac-
cepted the lailtern Hundreds.
The house adjOi;ned at four o'clock.
The evening sitting commenced at six o'clock. After the
discussion of some matters of routine, comprising a few re-
marks on the Turkish Loan, the subject of
THE AUSTRIAN PROPOSALS and Sir E. B. Lytton's motion
regarding Lord John Russell's share in the negotiations for
peace were introduced by Lord PALMERSTON, who brought up
Papers connected with the late negotiations at Vienna, and in
moving that they be laid on the table observed that the go-
vernment could not consent to the motion of which notice had
been given by Mr. Disraeli (to give precedence that day to Sir
B. B. Lytton's motion over the orders of the day), since the
Papers he had then presented could not be in the hands of
members in time for the discussion.—Lord J. RUSSELL, refer-
ring to an inquiry made by Mr. Disraeli in his absence on
Tuesday, explained what he did say did not require the sanc-
tion of Her Majesty, which had, however, since been given.—
Mr. DISRAELI did not see that the statement of Lord John
at all changed the state of things. What had disquieted
the country was, that it should have come out on his
part that he had returned to England with a project of pacifi-
cation of which he approved, and which he recommended
to his colleagues, and, on their refusal to adopt it, he had
come down to the house, and made a speech which conveyed
to the country that he was an uncompromising advocate of
the war, leaving an impression upon Parliament and the
nation utterly inconsistent with the facts. If he received an
assurance that there should be a full discussion of this im-
portant issue on Monday, he would not press his motion.—
Lord PALMERSTON said his object in deferring the discussion
was to give time for the papers to be read ; and, if it suited
the convenience of Sir B. Lytton, he should be prepared to
take the discussion, from which the government had no wish
to shrink, on Monday.—Sir E. B. LYTTON assented to this
proposal.
Mx. ROEBVCX'S MOTION. —ln answer to a questions fir.
ROEBUCK said he believed that he should meet the wishes of
the house by postponing his motion.
I Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Mr. Hutt, said the papers
did not include a copy of the circular of Count Buol, which was
not in the possession of the government. The motion was
agreed to.
-The Education (Scotland) Bill was passed on a division by
a majority of 130 to 115.
A protracted discussson ensued in regard to a deputation of
Irish members on the Tenants' Improvement Compensation
DisRAELr complained of the way in which the busi-
ness of the house was conducted.—Lord PALMERSTON disputed
the accuracy of the charge.—This subject led to a long discus-
sion, in which no small degree of acrimony mingled, suggestions
being thrown out that the intercourse between the Irish depu-
tation and the Government was not altogether unconnected
with the impending motion of Sir B. Lytton.—At a quarter
to one o'clock, the Chairman was ordered to report progress,
though none whatever had been made in the bill. •
Lady Raglan and Lord Raglan's AnnUitie; Bill passed
through committee.
The Coal Mines Inspection Bill was read a third time, and
after some discussion passed.
The remaining business having been disposed of, the House
adjourned at a quarter to 2 o'clock.

with more interest on account of their being the first he has
transmitted since he assumed the chief command, than in con-
sequence of the actual information conveyed by them :--
BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, June 30.
My Lord,—lt is with the deepest regret that I announce to
your Lordship the death of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan,
G.C.8., which melancholy event took place a little before nine
o'clock on the evening of Thursday last, the 28th instant ; his
Lordship expired without any suffering in the midst of the
officers composing his personal staff.
I have further to report that, being the next senior officer
present, I have assumed the command of this army until
instructions shall arrive from England.—l have, &c.,
JAMES SIMPSON, Lieut.-General Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c.

PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
TUESDAY.
Mlle meeting of the House, Lord STIAFTESBURY stated,
that, at the urgent request of the Bishops of London and
Oxford, he should postpone his bill until Monday, the 16th.
THE MASSACRE AT HANGO.—The Earl of MALMESBURY
directed attention to the despatch of General de Berg, vindi-
cating the massacre at Hango. He requested to know what
course government intended to pursue in the matter.—The
Earl of CLARENDON said the letter referred to was most
unsatisfactory, and added that Admiral Dundas had been
ordered to demand the immediate release of the prisoners.
A communication had also been made, through the Danish
government, on the subject, with the Russians. Till answtrs
to these demands had been received, government could not say
what course it would adopt.—Lord CAMPBELL said there
could be no doubt that the Russians had been guilty of a
most flagrant breach of the law of nations.—Lord COLCHESTER,
without offering any excuse for the Russians, expressed a
hope that this event would render our naval officers more
careful in communicating with the enemy by flags of truce.
In answer to a question from the Earl of Malmesbury, Lord
CLARENDON said there were grounds for hoping that a cartel
for the exchange of prisoners will speedily be arranged.
The Victoria Government Bill was read a second time.
THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.—The Marquis of CLAN-
RICARDE moved for a return of all persons employed in the
diplomatic service, and expressed an opinion that the attacks
so frequently made on that branch of the public service were
unfair and unfounded.—The Earl of CLARENDON had no ob-
jection to the production of the returns.—Lord GRANVILLE
took the occasion to defend himself from some attacks which
had been made upon him in the Lower House with regard to
certain diplomatic appointments made by him when Foreign
Minister.—Lord MALMESBURY deprecated any attempt to
remove the patronage of the Foreign-office from the control of
the Foreign Minister for the time being.—The returns were
then agreed to, and the matter dropped.
Some other business was despatched, after which their
lordships adjourned.
_
THURSDAY.
Their lordships had only a short sitting, in the course
of which they forwarded several bills a stage.—ln the early
part of the sitting, Lord LYNDHURST withdrew his Oath of
Abjuration Bill.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
ASTONISHING CURE OF DROPSY.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. David Simpson, of Collingliam, dated
4th Sept., 1854.
To Professor Holloway,—Sir,—lt is with great pleasure I hare
to inform you of a most wonderful cure of that dreadful malady,
the dropsy, effected on my daughter by the use of your invalu-
able pills. She had been under medical treatment for a long
time without deriving any benefit, although she was tapped
twice, and fourteen pounds of water taken from her each time.
After suffering very severely for some time, -she finally had re-
course to your pills, and in four weeks was completely cured, after
every other remedy failed to do her the slightest good. I there-
fore feel bound to make this statement public for the benefit of
similar sufferers.—l remain, sir, yours obediently,
(Signed) DAVID SIMPSON.
WONDERFUL CURE -OF ASTHMA.
Copy of a Letter from Itiir. Joseph Wild, of Hyde, Cheshire,
dated the sth of August, 1.554. •
To Professor Holloway,— Sir, mrs. Newton (a lady well
known in this town, residing in Hanover street) wns afflicted
for years with a severe attack of asthma ; difficulty of breathing,
and a most violent cough, causing severe pains in her side, parti-
cularly when she took cold; she tried many remedies, and con-
sulted different individuals, without deriving any benefit. At last
she came to me, and I advised her to take your pills and use
your ointment ; after a few weeks, by perseverance with your
remedies, she was considerably better, and, by continuing the
same, in three months she was perfectly cured.—l remain, yours,
&c. (Signed) Jos. WILD.
INDIGESTION AND BILIOUSNESS ! EXTRAORDINARY
CURE ! !
Copy of a Letter from Mr. James Henshall, of Ashton-under-
_
Lvne, dated 28th June. 1854.
To IProfessor Holloway,—Sir,—l was seriously afflicted with
indigestion, attended with frequent sickness, loss of appetite
giddiness, headache, drowsiness, and dimness of sight, an op-
pression at the pit or the stomach, and the other attendant evils
of a generally disorganised constitution. Although I tried a
variety of reputed remedies, I was not benefited, and finally I be-
came so bad that life was almost insupportable to me. At this
period I commenced using your pills, and in gratitude am bound
to confess. that after a few doses I felt considerably better, and
in six weeks was radically cured by this medicine alone, after
every other remedy had failed to afford me the slightest relief.
(Signed) JAS. HENSHALL.

British Library Heritage Made Digital Newspapers | The Liverpool Standard and General Commercial Advertiser. | Liverpool, Merseyside, England | 1855-07-17T00:00:00 | ARTICLE | 870 | 0.959 | 0.1094 | Queen, Charlotte, who, probably, a woman of narrow
mind, particularly as that was measured in comparison
with some of her predecessors, was, nevertheless, finely
imbued with many of the womanly feelings and truly
feminine virtues to which they were strangers. From
the moment she figures in the pages of this book, the
reader becomes familiar with an improved tone in the
morals and a purer air in the narrative. That both
George 111. and his Queen were of simple and unos-
tentatious habits, is too well known to require authen-
tication ; and it is also known that both of them
evinced considerable partiality for the sect of Quakers,
whose simplicity of manners seemed akin to their own;
but it may not be so extensively familiar to our readers
that, among the first visits of the youthful Queen
Charlotte, accompanied by her royal husband, on their
visits to London, was one to the house of a Quaker ;
nevertheless, so it was. After passing, as Dr. Doran
graphically delineates them, the various city formalities
at Temple Bar and St. Paul's Churchyard, the royal
pair proceeded, not to Guildhall, but to the house of
Robert Barclay, patent medicine vendor, ancestor to the
head of the firm of Barclay, Perkins, and Co. Robert,
who was in his eightieth year; was the only surviving
son of that Robert Barclay who wrote the celebrated
" Apology for the Quakers," and who was also a pro-
genitor of the famous Captain Barclay, the noted pe-
destrian and zealous patron of athletic sports. The
occasion of the royal visit to the city was a "Lord
lifayor;slpa,P,:: and- the -prefercnce apcorded to-- the
.Qtt,akers,Transion appears haie been higklappre-
ciaed"by' "'the hearty old man," -who had keviously
enterlained.both- the preceding Georges, and also' by
his family. Of this. fact Dr. Doran gives interesting
testimony in the following
ACCOUNT OF A ROYAL VISIT, BIC A QUAKERR3B.
Queen Charlotte and George 111, were the last of our sove-
reigns who thus honoured a Lord Mayor's show. And as it
was the last oceasion, and that the young Queen Charlotte was
the heroine of the day, the opportunity may be profited by to
show how the royal lady looked and bore herself in the estima-
tion of one of the Miss Barclays, whose letter descriptive of
the scene appeared about forty-seven years subiequently, in
1803. The following extracts are very much to our purpose
:
"About one o'clock papa and mama, with sister Western, to
attend them, took their stand at 'the street-door, where my
two brothers had long been to receive the nobility, more
than a hundred •of whom were then waiting in the ware-
house. As the royal family came, they were conducted into
one of the counting-houses, which was transformed into a very
pretty parlour. At half-past two their majesties came, which
was two hours later than they had intended. On the second
pair of stairs was placed our own company, about forty. in
number, the chief of whom were of the Puritan order, and all
in their orthodox habits. Next to the drawing-room doors
were placed our own selves, I mean papa's children, none else,
to the great mortification of visitors, being allowed to enter :-
for as kissing the- king's hand without' kneeling was an un-
exampled honour, the king confined that privilege to our own
family, as a retiirn'for, the trouble we had been-at. After the
royal pair had shown themselves at the balcony, we were all
introduced, and you may believe, at that juncture, we felt 'no
small palpitations. The king met us at the danr, (a condel-
cension I did not eipect,) at which place he saluted us with
great politeness. Advancing to the upper -end of the room,
we kissed the queen's hand, at the sight of whom we were all
in raptures, not only front the brilliancy of her appearance,
Which was pleasing beyond description, but being througheut
her whole person possessed of that inexpressible something
that is beyond a set of features, and equally claims our atten-
tion. To be sure, she has not a fine face, but a most agreeable
countenance, and is vastly genteel, with an air, notwithstanding
her being a little woman, truly majestic; and I really think,
by her manner is expressed. that complacency of disposition
which is truly amiable ; and though I could, never perceive
that she deviated from that dignity which belongs to a crowned
head, yet on the most trifling occasions she displayed all that
easy behaviour that negligence can bestow.l Her hair, which
is of alight colour, hung in what is called coronation-ringlets,
encircled in a band of diamonds, so beautiful in themselves, and
so prettily disposed, as will admit of no description. Her
clothes, which were as rich as gold, silver, and silk could make
them, was a suit from which fell a train supported by a little
page in scarlet and silver. The lustre of her stomacher was
inconceivable. The king I think a very personable man. All
the princes followed the king's example in complimenting each
of us with a kiss. The queen was up stairs three times, and

LIVERPOOL, JULY 13.—There is rio improvement in the
demand for beef; the sales for the week are unusually light, but
holders do not press the market. Pork also remains dull and
lifeless, without change in value. In bacon the transactions are
on a very trilling scale; the dealers still hold off, but the light
stock prevents prices giving way. For lard there is less inquiry,
and the sales for the week do not reach 100 tons. The condition
of the cheese lately arrived is not satisfactory, hence sales are
difficult to effect. Grease butter is saleable in small quantities
only. Tallow early in the week was active, but is now dull.

MILITARY COLLEGE FOR IRELAND.-The Dublin Evening
Mail gives currency to a report which appeared in an Irish
provincial journal, that the_ Queen's College, Galway, being
found nearly useless for the purposes it was originally designed
for, is about to be converted into an institution of military
education.
CHIEF
.JUSTICE LEFROY.-7A rumour has prevailed in
Dublin for the last few days, to the effect that Chief Justice
Lefroy is about to obtain a peerage, and to make way for the
elevation of the Attorney-General to the Chief Justiceship.
The Freeman's Journal throws some doubt upon the accuracy
of the report. •
" THE PRESBYTERIAN REPRESENTATION .SOCIETY."-An
important political movement has been set on foot among the
Irish Presbyterians, who took advantage of the recent General
Assembly at Dublin to hold a meeting of ministers, elders,
and laymen, for the purpose of forming an association, to be
called The Presbyterian Representation Society," having
for its object the election of members of the Presbyterian body
as parliamentary representatives.
FLOGGING Ix THE MILITIA..-It was stated by the Galway
Express that a stripling soldier of the North Mayo Militia has
been flogged at Castlebar for drunkenness. It is added, that
the punishment was administered on a Sunday Who is the
officer in command of the North Mayo Militia at Castlebar ?
It behoves him to declare him Self, and to deny at once this
latter statement, if lie can deny it; for, of course, it is' out of
the nature of things, in the present day, for any man to con-
tinue to hold a commission in Her Majesty's service who may
have been guilty of so flagrant and violent a profanation. It
is, indeed, difficult to believe that any officer, however fire-new
his dignity, could expect to brave public opinion by converting
the day of sacred rest into a day of infamy and torture, after
the well remembered explosion of popular indignation at a
similar outrage, some few years ago, in the Seventh Light
Dragoons.--Evening

Dataset Card for Heritage Made Digital Newspapers
Dataset Summary
This dataset contains text extracted at the article level from historic digitised newspapers from the Heritage Made Digital newspaper digitisation program at the British Library. The newspapers in the dataset were published between 1800 and 1896. This dataset contains ~2.5 billion tokens and 3,065,408 articles.
The dataset contains text generated from Optical Character Recognition software on digitised newspaper pages. This dataset includes the plain text from the OCR alongside some minimal metadata associated with the newspaper from which the text is derived and OCR confidence score information generated from the OCR software.
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
This dataset can be used for:
- historical research and digital humanities research
- training language models
- training historic language models
Whilst this dataset can be used for all of these tasks, it is important to understand that the dataset was not constructed in a representative way so it contains biases in terms of the newspapers and articles that are included (more on this below).
Languages
The text in this dataset is in English that has been recognised by the OCR software. The OCR software used is generic commercial OCR software that has not been trained on historic newspapers. There are therefore many errors in the text. Some of the OCR in this text will be of such poor quality that is is incomprehensible to a human reader.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
Each row in the dataset is an article from a newspaper as recognised by an OLR (Optical Layout Recognition) step in the digitisation process.
Data Splits
There is one split in this dataset, the training split.
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
This dataset consists of public-domain newspapers published in the UK during the 19th Century. The majority of newspapers digitised in the UK are not freely available (even if they are out of copyright). The newspapers in this dataset were digitised specifically to be freely available but also to meet preservation goals for newspapers in poor condition. As a result, the newspapers chosen for digitisation are biased toward poor quality physical newspapers. This may in turn result in worse OCR.
Source Data
The source data for this dataset is the digitised newspapers from the Heritage Made Digital newspaper digitisation program. The newspapers in the dataset were published between 1800 and 1870.
Dataset Curators
The original digitisation was carried out by the British Library. The dataset was created by the British Library in partnership with Findmypast.
This dataset was created by @davanstrien.
Licensing Information
The newspapers in this dataset are in the public domain. The dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal license.
