Diamond-Making.
Every one has heard that diamonds are merely
crystallized carbon. Vyhonftcier.ee demonstrated
that the diamond is rare only by its form, and
owes its excellence singly to the crystaline state—
the carbou contracted under unknown conditions
—the problem of the manufacture of diamonds was
reduced simply to the discovery of aprocess sua
ccptible of crystallizing carbon. The ordinary
pro esses of crystallizing are not applicable to
carbon, from it» extreme fixity ; it is a substance
which nothing dissolves, which nothing melts,
and which is reduced to vapor only by the violent
heat of the electric battery, and at temperature*
which the diamoud Itself does not resist, and
where it loses its splendid structure. If there was
a dissolvent carbon, as there is for sulphur uud
iodine, and for a multitude of salts, a dissolution
cuuld be obtained, which, bv a careful and pro
gressive concentration, would abandon at the last,
crystals or artificial diamonds. As it is, the dia
mond has nothing to fear but fire, and its own
dust. It is true that iron castings, rendered ilquid
by host, may absorb, at a very great heat, a large
quantity ol carbon, which it ahundans by degrees
when cooling. Whether the carbon penetrates
into the liquid iron, by simple dissolution, or
forms a real combination with it, is a matter of no
bearing on thiß discussion ; it is true that it is dis
engaged in a form which is altogether unlike the
diamond. In cooling, the iron castings, aatu.ated
with carbon, abandons black and crystaline span
gles, which are uoither trunapurent nor hard, and
which aro designated under the namo of graphite.
It was also supposed that carbou would dissolve in
melted silex, and that it might be abandoned by it
in tfco condition ol a diamond j but all efforts in
this regard were barren.
The diamond itself was submitted to an intense
heat, and the result of the experiment showed that
a high temperature was not favorable to too exis
tonco of carbon in the state of diamond, and that
very probable thisstone oould not have been form
ed under such an influence. The diamond was
placed in the Voltaic arc, formed bv a powerful bat
tery : it was coon seen to swell ana to break, and
to be divided into several fragments: when taken
from tho ik)les it presented the black-grayish ap
pearance common to all ourbon placed at the poles of
tho battery, and at tno same time, formerly, anon
conductor, it had great powers of conducUbility
for eleotricity. It has not been a very long time
since I mentioned here that M. Despretz assem
bled all tho Bunsen’s batteries in Paris, and con
centrated all their fires upon poles of carbon en
closed in glass. Carbon, which hitherto had been
deemed absolutely fixed, exposed to an awful
temperature, gave out vapors which immediately
were precinitated upon the side* of tho vase : bir
here, agalii, tho dircotitifteTVentiou of heat furnish
ed only on amorpbe powder, a Bort of lampblack,
without the least crystalline appearance. This ex
periment was regarded as having tarnished new
arguments against the supposition that the dia
mond was of igueous origin.
M. Despretz quietly went to work m Lis labo
rious searching for the diamond; for he believed
he was on the way to discover it. Alter having
ascertained that tne preeipitution of the vapors ol
carbon disengaged at a high temperature, gave only
a block powder like lampblack. M. Despretz en
deavored to operate without heat, and to compen
sate tl.o weakness of the action ho intended to ex
cite by the intervention oi time. I have described
once, and I have mentioned several times the ap
paratus invented by M. Ruhmkorff, which placed
in eonuoption with a simple couple, gives a series
of discharges caused by the development of the
currents of induction. You will remember that so
long as the bat cry retains enough power, the in
struinout illuminates tho interior or a globe from
which tho air baa been exhausted, with an arc of
.leotric light, which is periodically reproduced
every few seconds. This are dovelopes very little
heat, and yet in the course of time it carries from
one pole to the other very small quantities of mat
ter. M. Despretz thought that if he placed at the
positive pole a mars of pure carbon, and disposed
platina wires at the negative pole, that the transfer
aud the accumulation of tho carbon would tako
place under eircuinstancos favorable to crystallize
lion. He made the experiment; it lasted a mouth.
During this period a slight deposit of darkish sub
stance has been made, aud which M. Despretz
compares to diamond dust.
This deposit, M. Desprotz says, soon through a
magnifying g!a*s presents nothing very distinctly ;
when examined with a composite micro*cope, mag
nifying some thirty times, it off rs several interest
ing points. M. Despretz is persuaded that he has
distinguished octahedron crystals, both on the
platina wires (aud especially at the extremities)
aud upon the deposit itself; and M. Delafosse, a
practical and an eminent crystallographer, is also
satisfied that ho has seen black and white octahe
drons on the platina wires. lie removed the wires
and placed in their stead of polished platiDa, a een
tiuicire and a half in diameter; although the expo
riraent was made uninterruptedly fer six weeks,
no crystals wore deposited on the surface. The
ha.fot its surface was covered with almost circu
lar curves o; a largor radius than tho plate; each
of these curves was painted with the colors of thin
lamella, and hero there were small spots of a < ray
ish white, which seemed to be the result of the
momentary adherence of isolated deposits. M.
Despretz fixed a cylinder of pure carbon to the
cos tivo pole of a weak Daniel’s battery, and to the
other pole a platina wire, alter which he plunged
both of the poles in weakly acidulated water ; the
experiment lasted two months; the negative pole
was found to be cover d with a black coating,
which was examined with the microscope, with
out, however, discovering anything. To appre
ciate tho mechanical properties of these two pow
ders, M. Despretz sent them to M.. Guadin, an emi
nent lapidary to try on precious stones. He ascer
tained that the deposit on the platina wire, mixed
with a little oil, polished several rubies in a very
short time ; the black dowc-er deposited on the
wire in the water, required a longer time to give
the same polish. M. Gaud in believes the deposit
to bo the same matter as diamond dust; nothing
but diamond dust eau polish rubies. It is under
stood that M. Despretz is persuaded that he will
ere long present the Academy of Sciences with
a largo crystal of carbon, (a diamond,) and
solve tbs difficult question which has so long
mocked all.
Thb Vmoirv or Lord Paumeksto*. —ln onr
yosterdsy’s review of the secret and confidential
correspondence between England and Russia with
regard to the Eastern difficulty.' We had not space
to allude to the equivocal position in which some
of the English statesmen have been placed by its
unexpected publication. And yet the matter is
worthy of attention; especially worthy of it from
those who Lave boen aoenstomed to regard Lord
Palmerston aa the soul of chivalry and truth. He
is certainly a great and audacious statesman, bnt
his audicity, as in this instance, is apt to lead him
into very unpleasant predicaments.
A short time previous to the publication of the
correspondence ia question, Lord PalmerstOß,
from his placo in .he House of Commons, commit
ted hi nisei I to the following assertions in reply to
Hr. D’lareeli, the sobllu and dexterous ex-chancel
lor. . .
‘‘Sir, when positive assurances were made cy a
Government of a great country line Russia, the
Government of this country were entitled to be
lieve them. [Hear, hear.] It is said there were
tiie military arrangements of Russia. Bnt the ar
maments we were always assured were only to
counteract the menacing language which had bten
held by the representative of France on the Hoiy
Places. It is said there was a secret treaty nego
tiating, but we were told that Russia only deman
ded a new treaty by reason of the disregard of
pledges with respect to the Holy Places, and in or
der to oompoee the firmans already issued by the
Sultan. There never, sir, was the slightest intima
tion given that there was any other question
than that to be settled. And when Count Mesael
rode asserted that the Government of this country
bad been trom the beginning informed of the de
mands of Russia, he stated what was utterly un
true. [Sensation.] Sir, it is painful to have to
speak of a Government like that of Russia in such
terms of condemnation ; but I must sav, in virdi
eitiou of the Government cf Her Majesty, that
through the whole course of those negotiations,
Russia exhausted by all her agents and by every
i means, every modification of nutrudi, conceal
ment, aud equivocation—ending in the assertion
of utter lalsebood. [Considerable sensation.] ”
This declaration wts openly made a short time
bes. re the journal cf fit. Petersburg compelled the
| publication of the correspondence. It leave* only
; two arental.vea possible for Lord Palmerston;
either that he was kept in ignorance of the nature
! of the interviews which took place between Sir
I H. G. heymeur and the Cxor, or close that he de
; liberate!} falsified the facts. I: the former should
i happen to be the case, one cannot place much re
, banco on the stability of the Aberdeen Adminis
i traticn, for Lord Palmerston is not the man to
endure a secret treaeuery, which wouid nooeeeari
ly lead to such public di, grace. If, on the contra
iy, he was cognisant of the tacts, he has pledged
his honor bclore the House of Commons to whst
is not true, and must abide the consequences. At
all events it is pretty evident that the journal of the
Cnr has placed the British Government in a curi
ous pre licament, by its iodiscieel allusion to the
“secret and confidential” correspondence. Lord
Palmerston has either been betrayed by hie asso
ciates, Or he has be'reyed the truth. The latter is
more likely. For though uo good will exists be
tween him ana Lord John Kusse'l, and liitle bet
ter between him and Lord Clarendon, it ia hardy
possible that the members of the British Cabinet
would attempt to bo.-dwink each other, and pi.y

‘‘here’s been en insurance agent,” remarked
the book-keeper, “and left his card.”
Mr. Garston took it op, and then glunosd around
the warehouse.
“Yes, I shall have to get the stock insured, as

“Had you not bettor call to-day?” inquired the
book-keeper. “Thete was s fire in Clay street
last night, and they say there aro incendiaries
about."
‘•lndeed! Well, I’ll cull immediately. Such
things Ghould not be neglected. What day is this
—Friday ? Bear me, there is a note of a tnonsuud
dollars daest the bank to-day, and X have not yet
provided for it. I must gather up some fuuds' to
meet it or there will boa protest. How much
money have you got there, Smith I"
“Only eighty do’lars or so, and there is Carter’s
bill to be paid to day.”
“True—true. Lot me see—hum—let me see—
ah, yes * I’ll go and see.”
The forenoon was passed in the endeavor to col
lect money enough to meet the nota, but every
one Beemea to bn short as well as himself. One
had just paid a bill, another had a note to meet at
the bank, and the third could have done it very
woll yesterday, but had made soma heavy purcha
ses which had taken up all his funds. So he turn
ed homo, somewhat dispirited, to get his dinner.
“Plaiaa sir did you see the carpenter about thim
bars?” inquired Bridget, as she arranged his soli
tary dinner.
“No,” he replied, rather curtly. “I have got
something else to think of iu*t now.”
"But Master Charles,” pei stated Bridget.
“I’ll ees about in the oveniug," interrupted ho
in a tone that cat short ali further conversation.
Hastily despatching his meal, he made his way
to the office.
“lies any money come in?” was his first inqui
ry-
“ Jones & Green'have paid in one hundred dol
lars on account,” was the answer.
“Nothing more?”
“Not a dollar. Have you seen abont the insu
rance yet?”
“No, have had no time for it.”
“The int uranco office is just in the way to the
bank,” persisted the book-keeper, “and they
might be gone whoa you go by in the evening.”
“I cau’t stay to bother about it now,” was tbe
testy ans.w< r. “I must see bow to meet that note.
Confound it, isl had seeu about it yesterday it
would havo been all right.”
“I told you yesterday morning of its being due
to-day,” remarked the book-keeper.
“I know that: but I did’nt think everybody was
going to be so short to duy, and thought I should
have no trouble in collecting it; but there it is, it
can’t bo helped now.”
Al'tor anollor round, the money was collected,
and the note was takeni up jjist before the bank
closed. Tired with his exertions he returned to
his offivo, and flinging into a chair, took up a
newspaper.
“Soon the insurance agent?” inquired the book
keeper.
“No not yet. I’ll go home a little earlier and
drop in to too him. The insurance must bo ef
fected at once, that’s a fact.”
An interesting article in the paper took his at
tention for some time, then a neighbor dropped
in, npda discussion relation to the merits of iho
affair treated of in the newspaper was entered
into. Suddenly Mr. Garston pulled out his
watch.
“Half-paet five, I declare ! It’s r.o use trying
to find the insurance agent to night, but I’ll caU
on him the first thing in the morning."
As ho passed homeward, ho recollected the
window bars, and turned uptbo street to see the
carpenter. The oarpentor said he would call on
the following day and fix tbe bars, aod with the
feeling of having done his duty he went home.
‘‘Who’s there?" exclaimed Mr. Garston as he
started from his bed that night in obedience to
a load rapping at tho door, and lond calls lor him.
Mr. Garston ran to tho window and throw it up.
The skv li* 4-p with the jetton ot-s, gnat
fire, and a single glfinoo sufficed to show him that
his store was involved in the conflagration.
“Burned—lost—no insurance—not a dollar!”
gasped the nnforlnnato man, as be staggered back.
“ And I might have saved it all 1"
He was dressed in a few moments, and was soon
at the scene of destruction. The moment he camu
at the edge of the crowd he sow he was a ruined
mcu. His large store was one body of file.
Bushing liis way through the crowd, bo soon
reached the inner edge of the crowd, where he en
oouutered his book keeper.
“Anything saved,,Mr Smith ?”
“Nothing, sir. The building was all on fire be
fore any one coul.l get in.”
The ruined merchant stared vacantly at tho burn
ing pile, until the walls fell with a heavy- crash,
and then with a burdened heart ho turned toward
homo.
“Oh, Mr. Garston, oh, sir, oh—oh!” sobbed
Bridget, S 3 she opened tlie door to admit him.
“What’s tho matter?” exclaimed ho, in dread
of some fresh disaster.
“Oh, sir, Vaster Charles ”
“What—what—in the name of hoaven, what has

“The winder, Bir, the winder was opened for us

Dickens to Talvoobd.—Charles Dickens, in
“ Household 'VVoiks,” pays the following beautiful
and loving tribute to the memory of the late Ser
geant Thomas Noon Talfourd:
“The conscientious judge, the charming writer
and accomplished speaker, the gentle hearted,
guileless, succtionate man, has entered on a bright
er world. Very, very many have lost a friend;
nothing in creation has lost an enemy.
“ The hand that lays this poor flower on his grave
was a mere boy’s when he first clasped it—newly
come from the work iu which he himself oegan
life—little used to the plough it has followed since
—obscure enough with much to correct and learn.
Each of its enceessive tasks, through many inter
veuing yean, has been cheered by his warmest
uterest, and the friendeip then begun has ripened
to maturity iu the passago of timo; but there was
no more seif assert on or eondesceution in win
ning goodness at first thau at last. The sucoese of
other men madeaa little cnange in him as his own.”
A Stobt or CnercMsiAxiiAL Evidence.—Some
years ago I went specially to Giomnell assizer, and
accidentally witnessed a trial which I n.ver shall
forget., A wretched nun, a native of that county
was charged with the murder of his neighbor It
seemtd that an ancient fend existed between them
They hed met at s f. ir and exchanged blowß •
again that evening, they met at a low pot-house
and the bodily interference of friends alone pre
vented a fight between them. The prisoner was
heard to vow vengeance against his rival. X v e
wretched viotim leu the house, followed soon af
ter by the prisoner, and was *cund next day on
tho road-side, murdered and his face so barbarous
l.v beatenin by a stom that he could only be iden
tified by his drees. The foots were strong against
the prisoner; in fact, it was the strongest &se of
circumstantialevidenoe 1 ever met with. Asa
form,—of his guilt there was no doubt,—the
prisoner w;-.b called for his defence. He called—
to the surprise of every one—the murdered man
And the muraered man came forward. I; seemed
that another man had been murdered—that the
identilioa'ion by drees wts vague, for all the ners
antry of Tipperary wear the some description of
clothes—that the presumed victim had got a hint
that he would be arrested under the White Bov
act-hod fled, sed only retnrntd with a noble and
Irmh feahmr of justice, when be found tin hi? en
cient toe was in jeopardy on his account. The
case was clear; the prisoner was innocent. The
jadge told the jury it was nnneceasarv to charge
them. They requested permission to retire; they
returned in about two hours, when the foreman
with a long face bunded him the verdict ‘guilty ’
Every one was astonished. *Good Gadl’ said the
judge, “01 what ishe guilty! Net of murder sure
ly!’ ‘No, mv lord,’ said the foreman, ‘but if ha
did not murder that man, sure atole my gray mare
three years ago.” —battitl O'GnuuU.

A Typographical Treasure.
Our readers have heard of a celebrated pub
lishing honae—the first of-wbioh tradition speaks,
known as the “De'il A Dr. Fausts.” Though
the senior member is believed to have a large in
terest in many fbtiriP iog bibliotolic establish
ments in past ages, nu to* be equally oonoerned
in the management A; a suooesa of some of the
TWtIHWiHRSSForift pSor partner. At a re
cent visit to the Astor Library we wore shown ono
of the latter, which has bat lately arrived from
Paris. It is a bibliographic treasnre of the high
est value, and possesses an unusual attraction for
all who are interested in the history of th i Art of
Printing. Tire rubricated title at the head of the
first kaf is as follows:
“ Marci Tnlii Cioaronis irpinatis oonsnlisque ro
me.ui acoratorii maximi. Ad M. Tulim Oiceronem
fiiiumsuum: Offlciorum liber incipit. Prefatio
getieralisin lilwos omnes.’’
Like all early printed kooks, it has no distinct
title p.age, no number of pages, no catch words,
and no signature murks. Its size is a small lolio,
inches h : gh by 6% brmd, having u side aud
bottom margin of 2>s inoaoa—that at the top be
ing ol 1% inches. The paper is very thiok and
strong and cf s light cretin color; the type, al
though black letter, is verp oloar and distinct; and
the book is, in every respjet, as sound, as perfect
and unsoiledas if it was printed yesterday; ai
though, as it will be seen )y the following record
of tbo date of its printing it U nearly fosr hun
dred years old, having be*n issued wit Una few
years after tho invention df the art. The colophon
(as tho printer’s reoord atthe end of old books is
called) gives, in red letter*, the name of the prin
ter, aud tho place, yoar, aid circumstances of the
production of the volume.as follows:
“Prosens Marci tulii clarissimum opus. Jo
hannes fast Mogutinus citis, non atramento plu
ma'.i eatna nequo aerea. 8;d arte quadum prepul
ora manu Petri do grenslem pueri mei felicitcr
efit-ei finitum. Anno MtCCCLXVI. quarla dio
monsis februarii.”
This in English is:—“l John Faust, (Faustus.)
citizen of Muycune, on thh 4th day of February,
1466, have successfully ooupteted the present cel
ebrated work of MaroTullj, not with ink tn a yen
or ree i or brucs, but by a certain very beaut.ful
art, with tho assistance cPny apprentice Peter of
Grensheiro, (Bchaefeer.)”
One cireaTiistance which aids to the value and
interest of this uncommon!* beautiful copy of an
early fiftoener, (as bibliographers call boons prin
ted in the fifteenth century)is that its covers are
stamped with the arms ol Charles of Lortiine,
B shop of Metz, who was a (gandson of Henry 11.
of Franco. The binding is dark brown calf, tool
ed in gold, in a rich though s.mewhat coarse man
ner. It is in the same fine preservation as the
volume, which it must bav« protected for two
oenturios and a half, as its posesecr, for whom it
was bound, died in 18l»7.—AVtt York Courier.
“Goods well Bought ark half Sold.”— This j
is a common maxim of trade, bit litre most maxims, (
which are condensations of popular wisdom, it
needs Homo commonl. When are goods well ,
bought? What is to bo uncbrstood by this ex- t
preeaiont To many'eheapnots is the only stan- ,
derd. Goods are well bought when they are pur ,
chased cheap, nd not otherwito. To accomplish j
this their great passion, till they often bocome .
blinded to other considerations whioh should over ,
be in the mind of the trader, such as quality, ,
soaeonableness, and adaptedness to tho wants of .
the people. To buy well is no easy work. It is ,
not to run the rounds of inquiry to see whose
prices are the most “ liberal” in merely one sense, !
but it requires honesty, integrity, comprehensive
ness, ana a self-reliance that says, I know my own <
business, wnat my customers want, what will bo
in demand at any given time in my vicinity, and
what is the market value.”
A man who baa nobler ends in view than mere- j
iy to buy cheap, will meet with a treatment from
respectable merchants which the “ hard cuatomor”
tan uevor receive. The old picture is true to the .
letter in our day: “It is naught, it ia naught,
saith the buyer 1 and Btraightway hegoethhia way
and boasteth.” Hq_ juggles ai d disputes, depro
want wha? bo must IwvaTawftoemly aoUad when ]
he has driven “ a hard bargain.” And then he
boasts—proclaims bow low he has bought hi»
goods, and how low he can sell them. But often
all that is low about the matter was his manner of J
dealing, for there is more bo .sting on tho part of
the seller than on his part, th ß t the biter has been
bitten. Voo many depend on a kind of shrewd
ness which is but one remove from duplicity and 1
crime; but they soon become knovyi), and then
they get tho worst of tho bargaiu.
It is best to buy as honorable men sell, with .
readiness and with a fair regard lor tho essen
tial principles of the true m rcantilo character.—
Every tracer isirnterestod >d something besides '
food bargains. Tbe honor of the business world 1
is to be regarded. Character issometbing ofinca
tunable worth. Influence is to be thought of.—
And a man should ask himeolf into what scale ho 1
is casting the weight of his manner of doing husi
ness, and should assure bim-elt that he never buys
well, whon he acts on salsa principles of tr.i ie,
which tend to make trade but a trial of skill at
trickery and dcoeptiou.— Hunt's Magazine.
Good Fbidat. —Throughout Christendom, Good
Friday is unusually held by the Roman Catholic
and I’rctestaut Episcopal churches, as a solemn
fast in romcmbrance of the Crucifixion of our Sa
viour. Its appellation of Good is undoubtedly
peculiar to the Church of B gland, and the scion,
in t his country, of ihat establishment. Tho Saxons
called it Long Friday, from 'ho length of tho cere
monies of that day; but its ancient title was Holy
Friday. According to the account given by the 1
Evangelist St. Mark the crucifixion commenced at 1
tho third and ended at the sixth hour of the day.
The hours at that time were numbered from sun
rise, eo that tho third honrof tho day was the third
from the rising of the sun : and the solemn trana- 1
action of this memorable day must have occupied
the six middle heurs, say from 9 or 10, as wo reck
on, until IS or I.— N. O. Pi afrunt t.

grape. The produce of various vineyards aro
mixed according to the market for which the wine

Continental advices loom to regard the occupa
tion of the Lower Danube by the Russians as e
definite measure. Advices trotn Odessa, March
25th, mention that tha entire Russian fleet had
left Sevastopol, end it was believed would attack
Verne.
From the seat of war on tho Danube, we have
the firstaot of anew plan of Ras-ion strategy
For particulars see the following summery:
Austria has demanded from Russia that Austri
an subjects in the Principalities shall not be com
pelled to take the Russian putter mosey.
The exoStod r.ute cf peMio feeling at Constanti
nople Is greatly disquieting to the government.
T»e War.— -Un tee 2/th of March, Hirshovawas
taken by tho Russians, who also made themselves
masters of tho strong position of Babadagh. and
are consequently in entire pos:cssion of tho Upper
Dobruds-jra. The Cossacks patrol as far as Kos
tecctje ; and, according to theTromueu Blatt, the
fort of Isaktohi was taken by the the
27th. Imperfect aocounts that aro at hand s:i>
Hirsbva was takou after three days’ assault. It.
will bo some days ere roliable statements can be
received.
As soon as Gortechakoffhad es abllshed himsulf
in the Dobrudscha, ho issued a proclamation to
the inhabitants similar to that which was publish
ed in Moldavia and Wallachia. In connection
with Gort-chakofFa movements, it is mentioned
that five steamers, towing bargts containing 4000
men, had left, Sevastopol for the Western (Turk
ish) ooastof the Black Sea. If this he true tboj
run a ohance of meeting with the ships of th ,
alliod fleet now cruising along that shore. Prince
Paskiewitch was to set out about the 15th inst. from
Warsaw to the seat of war. The Emperor will
not himself go to the PrincipaU ies.
There is no doubt that the Russians have lodge?
themselves, in tho forca stated—namely, over
50,000 men—on the Turkish bank of tho Dannbo.
Opinions are, however, divided as to the impor
tehee of this movement. Whilo some view it as
a gr. at triumph to the Russians, others profess
themselves unable to see wbnt advantage the in
vaders expect to gain by it. Thoy (the Russians)
aro not yet in Bulgaria, nor on th? route to Con
stantinople—but in the Dobrndsoha, an immense
marshy plain, without any point d'appui and do
prived of communications. Behind them is a
Turkish force of 25,000 to 80,000, end beforothem
a li.ie of fortresses, such us Silistria, Kostendje,
Varna Shumla, between them and tho Balkans.
It is true, that in IS2B tbo Russ.ans outered tho
Dobrndsoha by Hirshov, as they have dono now,
and proceeded on to Varna and Silistria; but then
the sea was open. Omar Pa.hs, too, who is not
given to vain boasting, has said in a depatch, pub
lished at Constantin'.pie, that if the enemy would
but cross the Danube it would render a great ser
vice to his plan of operational That we are on
the eve of some important o - ent th re can be little
doubt, and the result of tho movements on the
Austrian frontier, and the next operation of the
Russians on the right bank of tho river, are awuit
od with much anxiety.
The British steam frigate Inflexible was employ
«d in oonveying Turkish troops from Constantino
ple to Varna. A portion of the Britis i fleet wa*
also near Varnt, with tha intention of watching
the new and unexpected movements of the Rus
sians.
The cireumstanoes under which tho passage of t
tho Danubo appears to have been effected wore I
these:—On or about the IStli of Murch, Prince <
Sorlsehakoff received orders from St. Petersburg i
to secure, within ten days, a position on the right 1
bank oi the Danube, opposite to Brsilow, similar I
to that whioh tho Turks maintain at the other ex
tremity of the line of operations, (Kalefat.) — <
Gortechakoff immediately left for Brailow, where t
he completed oil his proparations, and, on the
28d, commenced to cross the river at throe differ- t
eut points. The left wing of a corps 0f85,000 men, «
nnder Gen. Oiisobakoff, forced a passage at Tnlt
soha, opposite Ismael, the centre, under Gen. '
Lnders, crossed without meeting opposition from e
Galatz; while theright wing, nnder the immediate 1
direction of Prince Gortschakoff, was forcing a pas
sage from Brailow. By the Soldaten Fieuud we <
haveacoountaofthe way in whioh matters wore t
managed. t
Early on the morning of the 28d, the Russians, 1
under cover of twenty-fonr 12 and six 18 pound- 1
dls, began to form a pontoon bridge from a spot *
near Bailow, across the Island, to Gedsahild on tbe <
yigfc f baak. CA.-«%B»Cff3aa... < AMbc Tuika
no serious opposition, the bridge was completed <
by 1 o’clock, and at that hour the Russian columns J
began their march, which continued without in t
terruption until late at night, when the men light- «
ed their watch fires and bivouacked betwoon Ged '
sebild and Matsehiu. At tho samo timo Gen. Lud 1
ers constructed a second bridge between Galatz and t
the opposi -0 bank, which there is free from mo c
russes, and ill the course of the day two regiments t
of chasseurs, and two of the line, with cavalry and
artillery, crossed tho river without loss. On the
same day the left wing, under Gon. Ouschakofl',
forced a passage above Tultacba, and, in spile of r. s
'rigorous resistance on the part of the Turks, got o
possession of the redoubts which hud been con r
structed on the right bank. Eievon guns and ISO
prisoners fell into the hands of tbe Russians. 8
Concerning the additional news that has since d
come by telegraph, to the effect that Hirslnva and e
Matsohin had been captured; no details are ye’ to
hand. As soon ns tbe intelligence of tho passage ,
of the Danube hy the Russians reached Omar Pa j
aha, ho sent reinforcements to the troopß posted a
at Trajan’s Wall, between Chornavoda and Koa .
ten die. When Mustapha Pasha, the Turkish com- |
munder, found the Russians wore in too great t
foro J, he retreated at first upon ■ atschin,andsub (
sequently npon Babadagh. His force in tho field ;
is not more than 20,000 men, exclusive ot garri ,
sons. Sucoess in tho present operations would .
give the Russians complete command of tho mouths j
of the Dunube. They have already drawn chains t
across tbe Sulina channel.
The Fleets— Admiral Napier’s fleet came to l
anchor off the island of Moan, and having beet, c
considerably aug onted since its departure trom c
Knglaud,now numbers twenty-two ships,carrying t
1252 guns and 12,500 men. This fleet will soon i
be further increased by the St. George, 120 guns; t
Jus. Watt, 91 guns: C»-ar, 91: Nile, 91; Majes
tic, 80; B •soavron, 72; Odin, 16; Miranda, 14; t
Rosamond, and several other steam sloops. t
The Miranda sutveying steamer reports, uneer t
dato March 2Sth, respecting the Russian fleet, that t
one division is at Revel frozen in, the ice being i
very thick, with no symptoms at present of early :
breaking up. Tho Russians expecting that the t
island of Oe-el will be the first, object of attack, i
have placed thero a garrison of 80,000 strong. t

Russian Intrigues.—No doubt now exists that
Russia is making every effort to bring about an
inenrrectional movement in Bulgaria. Since the
repre eatationa of Austria, these intrigues have
been enveloped in tbe greatest mystery. Tbe
proclamations addressed to the Bulgarians and the
Servians, and which arc primed at .he State Print
ing-office at Bucharest, are kept so secret that up
to (his lime it has been impossible to procure a
single copy. W hat cannot, however, be concealed,
is the large quantity of arms that the Russians are
preparing for the frontier districts of Bulgaria. It
is said that 18,000 musket* will be sent to different
points beyond the Danube.

lightly of. And a correspondent of the London

England— The War. l
On Friday, the 81st of Marob, the address in an- '
swer to the Qnecn’s message beoame the subject |
of debate. In the Houso of Lo ds, Lord John >
Russell rose and delivered a long and brilliant '
speech, which occupies four columns of tho Lon- c
don Times. We have only space for the following 1
extract*: i
Lord J. Russel! then said: Sir, in rising to move J
sn answer to Her Majesty’s most graoions me-sago, -
1 feel a deep sense or the solemn, I may say tho I
awful importance, of the motion lam about to pro- *
pose. It is now more than half a century since a *
message of a similar import waa brought down to “
this house. For tho period of nearly 40 years this
country has beon in the enjoyment of the bices- j
ings of peace, and these blessings have never been ‘
more widely or more extensively valued. The 1
privileges of the people have been increased; their
burdens have been diminished; and, with an ex- ‘
tending and prosperous oommerce, wealth has 1
been diffused throughout the oountry. We have *
lately hud an exhibition of the pride, pornp, and 1
ciicuuistanceß of war, but it is impossible to think *
of war without reflecting at the same time upon '
tho bloodshed it occasions, upon the proeperily it (
interrupts, and upon tho miseries it inflicte—(hear *
hear.) I
It is, therefore, only from a paramount rense of 8
the necessity that we should engage in this vrar c
that I appear here to advise the bouse to reply, in I
terms of assent and enoooragemont, to Her Majus- J
ty’a most gracious mtseago—fofceere.) Iu pariorm- *
ing this task, I shall endeavor to avoid, as far as I "
am able, consistent with justice to the subject, *
those questions whioh we hevo already discussed J
in the dobates of former nights. I allude ’o quae- >
lions with regard to the oonduot of the Govern
meat—as to whether more or loss protracted no- 1
gotiations should have been undertaken—as to 1
whether tho lone that was adopted by Her Majea- 1
ty’s Government at certain periods of those nego- ]
nations was best caloul&'ed to seouro that honors- '
ble peace at which we aimed. I shall endeavor
rather to point ont the course which Russia baa
pursued, and to show that, unless we wore content
to submit to the farther aggrandisement ot that
power, and possibly to tha destruction of Tarkey,
the integrity and independence of which ha* been
so often declared essential to tha stability of the l
system of Europe, we had no choioe left os but to
intorpose with arms. (Cheers.)
Referring in the first place to the affaire of Tar- 1
key, I must beg the house to mnik that a great <
change has taken place in the internal ooudition of 1
that oonntry daring the lest twenty or thirty years. 1
We are ail acquainted with the system of misrule
which oacd formerly to prevail in Turkey, and 1
those who have watched the oonduot of Lord
Stratford, will be aware of the advice be has given
on the subject, and of the benefloisl effects that 1
advice has produced, long acquainted with the
affairs cf Turkey, and having deeply at heart the i
maintenance of that empire, he has constantly 1
said,—not only reoently but lor a series of years—
“ The independence of Tarkey cannot bo maintain
ed without tbe aeaictanoe of tbe other powers of :
Europe. That assistance oannot be rendered an- I
less Turkey should adopt, with regard to her <
subject* in general, and with regard to her Chris- I
tian subjects la particular, those rules of jostioe ’
and fair treatment which are established by the |
public opinion of Europe.”—(bear and choers.) 1
That advice, although not immediately or fully 1
adopted, has yet been so far followed that there I
has been a great improvement in the treatment of i
tbe subjects of Tarkey, and the Christian subjects <
of tlie Porte have especially derived great advan
tage frcm theee changes; they have enjoyed the 1
free exercise of their religion; they have prosper- •
ed in trade; and their welfare has greatly inoreas
ed nnder the government oi the Sublime Porte—
(hear, hear). This is, sir, a very important and
essential part of the question we are considering,
because, if lam not mistaken—and this ia no new
opinion of mine, for I have held it at least from
the commencement of the discussions of last year
—it is not tbe prospect of the deoay of Tarkey, it
is cot the fear of her immediate dissolution—(hear,
hear) —that ha* incited the Russian Government
to demands inconsistent with her independence,
and to aggressions subversive of her territorial
integrity—(bear, and cheers) —but it hss been tho
fear that the old system of Euseia—the system of
making progress gradually, of depriving Turkey
of her provinces one after another, of Interfering
more and more with her internal government—
(hear) wonld not be anocessfai—(cheers).
It bas been tbe fear that the Ottoman Govern
ment, instead of declining, wonld exhibit to Eu
rope a ipectode of internal ooncord and of great
external power and strength, which bas impelled
Kasai* to what, I believe, will be fonnd an onrac
ceeeful attempt—and what, I think, Russia most
berseit consider a premature attempt against the
independence of Tarkey—(hear, hear.) If we
look lo Russia we ebali observe that while, daring
the long interval of peace, all the powers of Eu
rope have been attempting, with more or less sue
cess, to improve their internal organization—whi.e
they have considered questions of commerce,
questions of legislation, questions of justice, » •
a view to the promotion of the future welfare
tlisir subjects—it bas been almost the g
of the Government of Rossis to form and to mam
actions with other powers of Europe-fmer,

[Tb© noble lord continued to speak at great
length of tho relations between Kuseia and Turkey,
referring to the past history and present erudition
of the two countries, andconcluded his address by
stating what England expects as the objeota and
termination of the war.”J
No.r, sir, I have said that I will state no more
than that whioh l oonaider it my duty ta state upon
this, point, and I oonaider that I should be do
parting from that duty if I at all restricted tho
government, at any time, lrom assenting to terms
of peace which that government thought honora
ble and just. [Hear, hear.] For my part, 1 should
not think aDy terms honorable and just whioh did
not provide lor tho eeourity of tho Turkish empire;
but, with regard to the manner in whioh that
security is to bs provided, we all know what are
the o.iances and contingencies of war—[hear,
hear]—we all know how quickly tho aspect of
Europe may change from ono month to another
[hear, hear, j and ltiiink It would not bs right, end
that I should be wanting in prudonoeanJ injustice
to the people of this country, if I wore to speoity
any grounds that were to be required as the
grounds of peso*. [ Hear, hear.]
Thie house well knows that if terms of peace
were to be adopted whioh they should think in
secure or dishonorable, the house has it in its
power to rebuke and cenaure tho ministers who
should tnako anoh s peace—whether wisely or not
is not the question—but this power has before now
boon exorcised, and the ministers who signed the
pe&ca whioh was diaappioved, w re driven from
office for agreeing to such ts'mk I Hunt the
house may he satisfied to leave the question in this
position—that having taken up i-rins from neces
sity lor the sake ot supporting an ally, our tirM
object must be resists.ttbe to the aggressor and pro
toctiou to our miy, (cheers.) which promotion shall
comiuuaao long as that ally is threatened by his
formidable opponent. I kuow net whether I 0.111
add anything to tho statement which I tune now
made with respect to the course winch these
negoth tions have taken, with respect to tho cause
of tho wur, and with regard to its objoot. That
object is pmin and simple.
An ally of ours—one of tho powers whose integ
rity slid independence sresenotionedby tho pub
lie law of Europe—(hear)-has had his provinces
assailed and invaded. He is required to sign dis
honorable terms of peaoe as the price of the
ovacuation of those provinces. Ho refuses to
agree to those terms, which he considers dishon
orable. We go to his support in resting that
aggression. We have already agreed to a con
vention with Turkey; a oonvtntion whiob, not
being ratified, I am sorry I cannot lay bolore the
House, but whiob provides for the assistance that
we shall give him, and providos that Turkey, shall
Dot make peace without the ooncurroncc and con
sent of England and of France. The convention
does not contain—l think it would have been very
wrong if it had contained—any stipulation with
regard to the internul government of Turkey .
(ioudories of hear.)
We have proposed no suoh convention to tho
Porte. We have proposed to her a contention in 1
the nature of a military eonveutiou, and whioh, ,
when it w laid upon tho table of the house, 1 think
it will he sanctioned by tho approval of the house
as well as of the eountry. Well, then, I leave the
case aa it at present stands in tho hands of this
house, fully convinced that the great majority of
this house have a heart the honor and the great
ness of this eountry ; that they will sll lament, as
I do, that the necessity of war should be brought 1
to ue, but convinced also that thoy will not be
disposed to shrink from a contest whioh is honora
ble to us. aud which I trust will end in securing the ,
independence of cur ally. The noble lord concluded,
amid long aud oonliuued cheering.
Ur. Bright thought this wav a fitting opportu
nity for any one who differed from the course takou '
by the government to state his reasons and clear ,
himself from tho responsibility inourred by the
authors aud supporters of the avowed policy of the
cabinet, iu entering upon this wur—(hear, hear.)
The Turkish empire, ho insisted, was iu a enudi- !
tion of deoayandof anarchy which had attained
a chronic character. Lord J. Russel! has repeated
the words “integrity and indopoudeuce of Tur
key” as oonnoetod, talked of the balance of power
—a phrase which no ouo oould comprehend, and
of wbioh he desired an explanation, and which was
not practically recognized by Europe. Mr. Bright
drew a very discouraging picture ol tho probable
eventualities of tho war—the annihilation of the
Turkish empire, and tho commercial and tlnanoial
difficulties and embarrassments of England. It
was no business of ours to be the knight errauts
of the human race—(hear, hear).
As regarded the interests of England, tho war
had dashed down Ur. Gladstoae’shope of making
a reputation U 3 a benefactor lo the masses; but as
that gentleman would never consent to retrace his
steps, the income tux would bo the great source of
revenue, and land would suffer most sevore.y—
(hear, hear.) Ho ooLgratulatcd the land owners,
every man with a Turk on his bitok. The Reform
bill was put off, trade would diminish, and the
funde and the railways would buffer, and 10,000 or
80,000 English lives would bn sacrificed, and the
happiness of tho homes of England destioyo-l, ami
all lor the sake of preserving the independence
and integrity of Turkey—(bear, hear.) Ae for tho
popularity of the war, ovory wur was popular, and
found advocates in the press and elsewhore. But,
for himself, he was amused at the policy of tho
the happy, prosperous, and moral stave in whioh
the oountry would have boen, had we never en
gaged In war—(hear, hear )
Lord Palmerston said ho could hovo wished
that, in a debate upon s question like this, mutters
of detail, arising out of tne negotiations, hud been
postponed to another occasion, and that tho
Queen’s message should have been responded to
unanimously, without mixing up with in assu
rance of loyalty end devotion to tho crown topics
of a minor and subordinate character—(hoar,
hoar.) He did not deny tho right, but be must
be excused if he did not follow the example. The
question was, whether hor Majesty's Government
wero to receive tho support of Parliament in the
contest in which we were engaged—(hour, hear.)
The views of Bustla upon Turkey, he observed,
wore not of yesterday; fora great length of time
the policy of the court of Bt. Peters, urg which it
had pu sued systematically, had been to obtain ,
possesbion ot European Turkey, uot hastily or pre
maturely, but by profiting bjr every opportunity. '
He did not blame the Russian Government on '
this account—(bear, hear )
An aggressive policy, when pursued by lcgi- !
tiwato means, might tie coudtmuod end opposed,
but was no reproaoh to the government that had !
adopted it, provided it aoted without ooneealnient, ,
subterfuge or fraud. But the oourre pureued by
Russia in the recent transactions had not been '
of this straightforward cheracter. Russh hid
speculated upon an impossibility of an nllianeo '
between us and Franco aud Austria, and thought !
an opportunity now offered to m„ke a great step, !
whioo had boon pursued with great ability—
(cheers.) If, by a concession of the EuKrii, Buraia '
had become the arbitrator of tlii whole Christian 1
population of Turkey, it would hava placed tho
sovereignity of that portion of his subjects at the !
discretion of the Emperor of Bu.'hla. it was im
possible, he thought, forauy man capable ol draw- :
log ooncltuoons to doubt that there was settled ,
intention on the part of Bussia to overthrow tho
Turkiah Empire. Was it possible, it was then 1
asked, to rnairlain an empire widen Mr. Bright '
represented to be in astato of rapid deoa,— (hear,
hoar.)
In reply, ho would appeal to tho events of tho j
last eight mouths, and, compering the resistance .
offered by the Turks to the Russian forces with
tneir defence in former years, ho would ask in re
turn, whether Turkey had not shown precis of vi
tality which few would have expected she would
display. Among the reasons whieh hud tniiueuocd
Russia to strike the blow the improvements in
Turkey which would tend to withdraw the muss
of her Christian population from Russian influence,
had no doubt its share, ainco it led the Emperor
to fear that that population was ulipping from hia
f rasp, aud that Turkey was getting too strong.—
Hear, hear.) But the real question was not what
we might wish to see established in the Turkish
empire, but what, for tho interests of all Europe,
ought uot to bo eetabiisbed, namely, the tronefer
of that conntry to the soeptre of Russia. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. Bright had asked wbat were our interests in
tho war, and whet we meant by the bulnnoe of
power I Tho idea of the balanee of power was fa
miliar to and practised by all mankind ; it was the
doctrine of self-defence and selt-preservatiou com
bined wilhthat sagacity and foresight which would
anticipate and prevout danger bolore it thunder
ed at our door,—(ohcors.) There were things
wt rse than war, and Lord I’slmersten suggested
how Mr. Bright might convince himself cf thin
fact by a simple process of mercantile accounts.—
Sooner or later, he was aware, Its said, that the
equality of rnoes in Turkey must be accomplished;
but the question st present was, whether Eurcp.
was to tie prostrate at tho feet lot one arbitrary
Eower which already bestrid tbe globe—(hoar,
ear)—or that power should be taught that there
were limite to the ambition even of a Czar ; and
be believed thero existed in the powers of Europe
a determination to resist the encroachments of sup
ono power, ond that this country was able, as it
was willing, by sea and land, to defend the liber
ties of Earope end the independence of nations—

General Conference.
Among the most important assemblages that art
mmmmg
May nox . iiio General Conference, it will b«f re
numbered, meets ont:« in four jeans only for tha
transaction of important business relatin'- to iha
interest* and woifao o’ the growing denomination,
of winch this body is th* chief ccoie> srtitmi
tribunal.
Owing to the prevalence of the cholera at St.
Louis, (where the lest session was held ) m-oh
business was loft unacted upon, and hence the
am«uut before this session wil be qu.to largo
much of it ot an important natn.o. The Cou
ference will therefore find it neeessetv to continue
hero for at least four or fiot weekt, during w' ich
onr citizens will nave su opportunity of m»king
the acquaintance and listening lo the preaching
of sotno of th* most distinguished prohites ol th*
Methodist Charch now living. Among I leer may
he named the Reverend Bishops Honk-, Andrew
Capers, and Payne. The entire delegation, how
ever, (numbering 186 or 180) is composed of gon
tlo-noii of the first order of talent and of Icngprao
tical experience in tho Bocial and religious hr.W r
ests and wants of tho church. Altogether, there
fore, it will be a time of peculiar cousoqnei re to
t.tiu d.nomination, and, an wo trust, one of no
small interest to oi r citizens generally.
Hr. Taylor, the missionary to China—and who
it ie known unoe visited the camp of the insurgents,
in disgniso—and Hr. Jenkins, missionary to the
same oonntry, will aiao be present; aud it may be
reasonably expeotod that « largo number of
strangers from abroad will also be in attendance.
Amongst the most important public mutter to
be disposed of is tho olootlou of a Bishop to tiil
the vacancy created by the dentil of Kev. Hr.
Buecom, of Kentucky, and tho amount of labor
now required at tho hands of there official, will
probably justify the Conference in the election of
anothor Bishop to uid these already advanced in
years, or who msy be required to perform too
grout a share of aotivo and laborious duly.
Tho lute settlement of the controversy with the
Church North, will doubtless engage setre atten
tion; the propriety of establishing a i o.v Book
Coueeru and publishing house iu the South; the
abrogation of the olause in the present Discipline,
declaring slavory to be an tlii —and the creation
of soverai new Conferences, arc among the moat
prominent measures for discussion and dolibera
titu.
Wo are glad to percelvo that tho Rev. Dr. Bo
ring, formerly of this city, end Rev. A. M. Wynn
are delegatus Dorn California, an . will he in at
tendance) on the Conioror.cc. Both those gentle
men havo recently bocn appointed Presiding
Eldere by the Pacino Methodist Conference—the
former of Ban Francisco, and the latter ot the
Sacramento Hißtrict.
To meet the conveniences of the Conference,
the denomination of this city ha > made exteuslvo
repairs n:id some alterations in the Met!,odist
Church, which, when oomploted, will make it one
of the meet commodious and beautiful church
odifleeß in the place.
The new Bell, we learn, has arrived at Savannah,
and will sheitiy be heard from the bolfry of the
church.
A good number of our citizens, too, with oom
mondablo spirit, have determined to entertain aa
many of the delegates as they are able to do; so
that we are assured nothing shall be wauling on
the part of auy here to render the visit of their
guests pleasingly agreeable.
Wo tnsy, perhaps, bs pardoned for incidentally
alluding to u little matter (never beforo in print
that we have seen) in reference to the liberality of
somoof onr Methodist brethren during «he session
of their State Conference, wbioh was held-In this
place a year or two since. By the exertions of
some of the most energetic among them—private
subscriptions were raised sufficient to p-y the
salary, for that year, of every minuter in Georgia
belonging to the denomination—an act which the
nßfcresf'tl drafts upon it* treasury. If UootgM is
