Hrhe Rise Of Consols Testifies To The So...
HRHE rise of Consols testifies to the soundness of Jb the financial position- * rtheone safe portion of the policy of the Coalition —and the splendid promise of an over-abundant harvest awakens expectations of the most gorgeous character with regard to tile future cheapness of the staff of life ,
and the prosperity always attendant upon that desirable state of things . War , itself , the lnostcostly of human enterprises , . will be robbed of half its terrors , at least in the apprehension of the City mind ,. by cheap bread , extensive trade , and cheap money . And such are the results which the sunshine of these latter days seems inclined to bi'ing about .
But the campaign , at present , does not look quite so promising as the financial policy of Mr , Gladstone , or as the harvest . Disease has stricken down a host of gallant fellows in the French and English camps at Yarna , and has enfeebled the remainder ; throwing a dash of despair into the gay courage of the Frenchman , and shaking the sturdy valour of the Briton . In the fleet , also , the epidemic has set its foot , and night after nijirht
for some time , were heai'd the loud splashes which denote the full of the " shotted hammock" into its " wandering grave . " So great has been the loss , that there has even "been a talk in the enmps of abandoning the expedition to the Crimea . But this we may presume to doubt ; the more readily , as it must be admitted that the loss of the troops
13 by no means without parallel in previous wars , and hi \ s wot been anything like so great as our armies have heretofore sustained . The groat fire at Vavua has been followed by a cessation of the severity of the epidemic \ ami unhealthy August having closed , and with Sevastopol " looming in the distance , " wo may fnirly expect thnt llie old robust honlth of tho men will return .
The positions of lli < j urmies havo not materially changed . , Omor Pacha has entered Bucharest , and his advanced guard has swept northwards ns far as Busco , while a strong support has n : ; ichi'd the lino of the Jnlomnitzu . The Hufsuui . s Iimvo not quitted Mohlavin , but IioKI lliu Lower Scivlh , in communication with Iamail mid Oik >^ : i , nnd aro Bunding reinforccmontB to thu Crimea . In Asia thoy havo defeated , thu Turks at Kiirouk-Dnr . 'Jl » us has tho long-expected battle in dofenco of Kara al , last , boon Ibught by Zarit Fnchn . Although they wore defeated , tho Turks
are admitted by the Russians to have fought with undauiUed bravery , and to have stood stoutly against the bayonet-charges of the Russian infantry . It seems that the ' . ' . Russians owed their success to the vast superiority of their cavalrya hint to the allies . The Turks retreated in good order to Kavs , whither the Russians did not pursue thiim . This battle establishes the fact that the Turkish-regular can stand against . thevfeteV rans of the Caucasus , ao > firmly as ^ o ^ mja ^ praise even from the enemy . Rut it also sfeorvrathat Russia , by mastering the Turks at Bayaz «^ .: i || d Kuroiik- Darj v has , to all appearance , gainettihe campaign of 1854 . ' V- - ^'
From the Baltic we have nothing new ; fyit when the Czar hears that Prince Alherfc and the Emperor Napoleon have niet in the camp at Boulogne , as they will next week , it may suggest to him , and likewise to the King of Prussia , the possibility of the despatch of another Ten Thousand to the North . What will be the thoughts of the Prince and the Emperor ? Certainly they
will not echo those of the Newcastle men , who met on Monday to denounce the Coalition , to recommend the impeachment of Ministers , and their dismissal . This meeting shows pretty plainly tho strong sympathy on tho part of the great bulk of the people for free institutions—for the nationalities of Poland and IIungai' 3 ' . It might be asked , however , and Newcastle would bo
puzzled to answer , why we ai'o to stop short of a regular declaration of fraternity with all the wronged peoples in our hemisphere . Why hold out a hand to Poland , Hungary , and Italy only , and not to Prussia , Austria , Baden—nay , to Frnaoo itself . Tho old French Convention was more logical , but not so wise as our Newcastle friends . But i'f Newcastle is illogical , is it not because our Government keeps us in studied ignorance of what is going on ; and is not this conflict between tho Government and a people , both supporters of tho war , a disgraceful state of things ?
Tu India , Mritish subjects have a diHeront way of nisiniiVsting public opinion . Thoy hold a day of ,-joluinM prayer fur tho success of the British arms . Tins Mahometans , with ouu exception , , - ^ tnnd aloof , while Hindoos nnd Pnrsces pray with ono accord . The one exception is tho King ol Oinle , -who dooa not ollor prayers , it is true , but nun , cannon , nnd horson to tho . British ( ioverunieu ! , Tlio Spanish Government scorns to bo rnp ' ully settling down into tho smWle , nflor a rather rough
ride to power over the barricades . Esparfcero has got xid of a great difficulty—he has aided , or winked at the flight of : the wicked old Queen-Mother , who is off to Portugal . She saves her life and loses her pension ; he saves the new Government from the fatal position of having to try , and perhaps destroy , the mother of the s . q ^ erei gh .. We have not the least sympathy for jg £ u $ 6 p Christina , but we are glad that a promising "reyolttfiwa' is saved firom an enormous . embiirfassr ment . The easy way in which the Government has succeeded in . abolishing the revolutionary GliibSs Shows tlie greaV confidence of the public irj ,
Esparfcero . As the work p ^ order proceeuS , fchd Ministers Tbegin to find , the ^ depth of the villanies of their predecessors ; It turns out that these gentlemen have anticipated the revenues of Cuba for two years and a half ; have spent all the forced loan ; and left a yawning deficit , behind them of nearly 7 , 00 O , O 00 J . ! Espartero has appealed to the bankers , and the extent of the difficulties of Spanish finance may be guessed from the fact that he could only raise 500 , 0001 . But he has ,, a way of replenishing the Treasiiry—the fee simple of Cuba , which a purchaser stands ready to buy . Besides the Spanish question , the Pope and Miss Bremov together command public attention the Pope proposes to proclaim a jubilee for peace
among Christian princes only ; the pacification ot the revolutionary spirit ; the cessation of pestilence and famine ; and—we scarcely believe our eyes — to convoke the whole Roman Catholic hierarchy in "Council" for the discussion of the " immaculate conception ! " Miss Bromor has not such ex t ensive " notions" as the Pope ; but although equally visionary , yet are they far more useful , if practised in however slight a degree , Instead of a jubilee and a Council , Miss Bremor proposes a vast network of female associations throughout tho world , to euro for children , for tho sick and aged , and for prisoners . We would it ; might bo done ; but , other obstacles apart , women ' s movements iu' 0 far too much conatrainoil to permit of such gigantic efforts ,
Our sole domestic movement , what id it—tho lkur Bill commotion ! The state of tho oaso is not so uncommon as it looks . Hero are tho public , tho publicans , and tho magi » trn ( t'n till ut' opinion that a few fanatics havo foisti'd n I vraiuiicalact on the country—a stupid , » . i wi'll as n « vmiunua ] act ; yet , notwithstanding » ' - nnaniuuty , tho Hrilinl » public is powi-rk ' . ^ .
