In the ‘honor of being Secretary for Gitely upon assuming the scals of office I sent for Lord Setlord de Redeliffe, who was then in England, and urg- ed him to return to Constantinople, assuring him that | there was no one in whose ability, sagacity, and know- | Jedge of Turkish affairs the government coi piney rest. er confidence.

We are now told by some our interference in the internal affairs of Turkey is similar to that of the Russian government as explained in the Menschikoff note; but the it difference is, that we interfered only by advice, w! the Sultan was at liberty to refuse or accept, as he thought fit. We de- manded no protectorate over his subjects; we only coun- selled him to improve the civil and political condition of 8 portion of his subjects, that they might be bound by closer ties to his government, and so become more useful citizens. Our interference was very different from that of Russia, who demanded a protectorate over some 12,000,000'of the subjects of the Sultan—so that if one of them felt himself agrieved he was to re; to St. Pe- tersburg and trust to the protection of the Emperor of Sones cones berate ir.) obiect we have at hea 2 and one deserving that the efforts fry shonid be made to attain it. What, let us consider for a moment, have to cope with? There are two things equally dan- gerous in matters of this kind. The one is to overrate our adversary; the other is to undervalue him. To overrate an enemy is dangerous, but I must say that I think that there never has been o t State whose power for ex ion has Mm more over- rated than. Russia. (Hear, hear.) We have seen that Russia is powerful for defence, and have inferred that she is therefore powerful for aggression; but the very cir- cumstances which render her powerful within, render her weak without. (Hear, hear.) The vast distances which invading armies must traverse, and the dangers of the march, all operate Kegan an attacking army; but the name causes operate afore Russia being herself pow- erfulin attack. There is alsoa vast difference between an army on paper and the actual number of men in the field of battle. An army would be much reduced in one of those long marches from its original strength. Tho accounts of Russian troops in the Principalities esti- mated them at a very large amount, but it seems that the Russians never had very considerable force there, and that is proved by the fact that in all the encounters which have taken place, they have had the worst; and the endeavor to force the of the Danube never has succeeded. We have seen, on the other hand, that the Turks have shown a vitality which they were not be- lieved to ess, and what the Russians call their fanati- cism we should call LS spirit of patriotism, which Jeads them to defend their sovereign and their country. (Hear, hear.) Asan instance of this spirit, I may men- mn that in one district, where the contingent required for the army was 1,000 men, on the day of muster 4,000 men a) red, and the 8,000 who were disappointed said that if the government would accept their services, they would ask for nothing in return but rations and arms, and they would supply themselves with clothes. The Turkish forces may be deficient in officers, but it is evident that Omer Pasha has conducted the campaign in # man- ner which evinces great military talent. (Hear, bear.) My opinion is that any one great Power like England or France, sing such naval and military resources, could, it ft took up the cause of Turkey, bring the quarrel ‘to a successful issue; but when those two countries com- Dined take up the cause, I maintain that the chance of the Emperor of Russia is entirel: Mao . (Hear, hear.) We are entitled to expect that, if the war should continue, Austria and Prussia will not remain ive spectators. They will feel it due to themselves to take some part in the contest, for, if they do not, Austria must havé indced forgotten all her established policy, and oust be ignorant of all her own interests; and the same is the case with Prussia. I therefore Chey with England and France acting as supporters of Turkey, with the opi- nion of the whole of Europe opposed to the Emperor of Russia, who will have not a single ally to support him in his career of injustice, I have no doubt as to what must be the result. (Hear, hear.) It isa noble sight to see England and France, two countries which have long been in rivalry with each other, united in a course of action (loud aicsiat hire by a reciprocal e1 ment to seek no territor advant for themselves, but standing forth in defence, not of their own interest and welfare alone, but in behalf of the interests of eeiar It is a worthy sight to see those fleets and armies which have hitherto met in deadly contest ranged side by side in perfect amity, not arm but armed in a noble and generous cause, to defend rigs against might. (Hear, hear.) I am willing to lay case of the government before the country and before Parliament, convinced that the people of this country will be satisfied that we have not recklessly and without of fe coun: | for the purpose of conquest, | cause inyolved them in a war of which I do not wish to ‘underrate the consequences, but which I think will bea very different war from all others in which this country has ever been involved. I feel no hesitation in applying to the country for assistance to enable us to carry on with vigor the contest in which we may be @ sand | I say that if it be the opinion of the people is coun- | try or of Parliament that we have shown weaki and credulity or the infamy of connivance, let them take the conduet of the war from the hands of a government in- Gompetent to carry ton, and place it in the hands of ose in whose ability, judgment and sagacity they can place greater reliance. (Loud cheers.) QUASI DECLARATION OF WAR BY ENGLAND —TREATY OF ALLIANCE BETWEEN ENG LAND, FRANCE, AND TURKEY. - [From the London Times, Feb. 32) Noman who listened on Friday night to the spirited and ge addressed by Lord John Russel to the House fe core enfertain a Soohe ss such 8 speech, 1 mout a leading mem! ent, ds equivalent to a declaration of war; no on: Sard see ciel speech was received could deny that her "8 ment enter on this war with the entire support and of the people, We have reached, then, by slow but continuous 8, that point at which the last scheme of reconciliation is lost in the note of defiance, and the pro- priety of discussion is toa great d merged in the duty of action.

Nomember of the tory opposition has yet followed Mr. Layard in this invidious task; but Mr. Roebuck, whose rea; was cordially greeted by the House, raised the real question now before the country in a few distinct and sentences.

The city is all Nive with the pomp and circumstance of war. Bells are pealing from every spire, and banners waving from every building. ae of thousands of spectators line the banks of the river, and crowd even the honsetops, to catch a glimpse of the troops embarking ‘for the wars.” A vestige of John Bull’s martial spirit has revived, and the cheers of the assembled multitude testify how popular, after all, a great war is. Nor is the enthusiasm at all diminished by noticing the fine appearance of the men embarking. To-day only three thousand bayonets go on board, but they carry with them regimental colors inscribed ‘with old spirit-stirring names—the Peninsula, Talavera, and Waterloo—to which bons, already adds the Danube! At the same moment that these mem go on board, other regiments embarking from Dublin, Southampton, and we have reason to believe from Toulon and Africa. ADMIRAL CORRY'S SQUADRON—ITS DRILL AND EFFICIENCY. Admiral Corry’s squadron was ‘expected at Spit- head, from the westward. Corry’s fleet is in the highest state of efficiency. On the night of the 26th ult., while at sea, the admiral, without giving previous notice, ordered the drums to beat to action, In three anda half minutes from the Lcat of the drum the first'gun was fred, and within six minutes every ship in the fleet had fired a broadside. The Terrible Colliery Explosion near Wigan, ‘A dreadful colliery explosion occurred in the Arley mine of the Ince Hall Coal Company, near Wigan, on the afternoon of the 18th ult. About 240 men and boys were in the pit. Soon after three o’clock the persons above ground heard twoloud explosions, and immediate- po signal was made from below to haul up the miners. irty men were immediately hauled up from the south shaft, and reported that the north shaft was on fire in such a manner as to cut off the retreat of the workmen.

BROWN, SHIPLEY AND CO.’3 CIRCULAR. Liverpoot, Feb. 21, 1854. The certainty that this country is now at War has a depressing influence on business, and we have to report a dull, quiet cotton market, with a shade less firmness in prices, the sales for the past two days being 11,000 bales, speculators and exporters taking 2,000 bales.

The Greek insurrection is formidable. Six thousand insurgents are in arms in Epirus, Thessaly and Mace- donia. Recruits are leaving Athens. The Greek govern- ment either cannot or will not check them. Kragova, Feb. 11, 1854. Russian troops are still marched on in the direction of Kalefat, and placed in the second and third line, so that it will be next to impossible for the Turks to break through the Russian position. On the 6th, the Russians took possession of an island above Moglavid, where they have since established a battery. Sr. Purerspora, Feb. 11, 1854. Sir Hamilton Seymour, the British minister, had not yet communicated his recall to the Russian government, and his instructions to quit the Empire had not probably yet reached the British Minister. The Emperor Nicholas had been suffering from erysjpelas, and was said to be in astate of great irritation and excitement, which rendered him inaccessible to the advice of his oldest ministers. The utmost activity in every department of the govern- ment exists, and preparations for war are made on the most extensive scale. An “answer had been despatched to the letter addressed by Louis Napoleon to the Eraperor Nicholas, which is framed in unsatisfactory, arrogant and discourteous language. Commercial advices report that prices of Imported goods continued to advance, in anticipation of a blockade, and the rate of exchange advanced to 12.43, while the funds receded; premium‘on gold 36:4, but although shipments of gold to England would prove ‘profitable, it is doubtful whether it will be made. In the event, however, of ‘con- tinued decline, considerable sums will ‘be smuggled out of the country. ‘Sr. Prrenssuna, Feb. 17, 1964. All the Turkish Gonsuls in Russia are about to give in their resignations. ‘Turkish subjects are placed under the protection of Austrian agents, but only for six months, dating from the declaration of war by the Porte. War is considered as inevitable, but it is far from being popular. Foreigners are leaving St. Petersburg and Mos- cow in numbers. A financial crisis ist hand.

The first and second divisions cruise from Kaffa along the Circas- sian coast, and observe Batoum. The third division left on the 20th, in the direction of the Bulgarian coast, and, as it was thought, for Varna. The Russian captains state that for years they have not known the weather in the Black Sea so favorable a4 at this season. The Russian General Sehilder has established » battery of twelve guns on the Isle of Ramudan, opposite Ruts- chuck. ‘Vienna, Feb. 26, 1854, Five Turkish steamers and a swarm of sailing vessels, convoyed by five English and three French steamers, under Admiral Lyons, left the Bosphorus on the 7th, with stores for Sinope, Trebizond and Batoum. Advices from Bucharest state that the Russians have destroyed seven Turkish vessels. A revolt has taken place on the borders of Albania, Macedonia, and Thessely. The insurgents are nearly 40,000 strong, Arnauts and Greeks. Janina has risen. and has been joined by the inhabitants of Merzowa and fa.

The Russians lately attempted a landing at Czernowoda, in the Dobrudscha, at the mouth of the Danube, but were repulsed with loss. ‘The Greek insurgent army in European Turkey amouats to 6,000 men. It is rumored that a squadron is to sail from Corfu to protect the Albanian coast. Three Russian ships of war are lying in the Austrian harbors. Marsenims, Sunday, Feb. 19, 1854.

Letters from Widdin of the 10th,"state that the rew Seraskier has ordered military operations to commence with the first fine weather. st The camp at Sophia has been raised, and the troops have marched for Widdin. Advices from Shumla of the 4th, state that the arny of reserve near that place has been divided into four ¢orps, which left on the 24th, 26th, and 20th of January, and the Ist of February, respectively, for Rasgrad, Turtukai, Silistria, and Sistova. From the frontier of Poland we learn that the troops in Russian fortresses in that kingdom have been marched to the seat of war, and their place suppled by Cossacks. The combined fleets are still at Beicos, whew they await an order from their governments explanatory of the instructions forwarded to the ambassadom, who differ from the admirals as to the purport of those in- structions. There is a probability that Reachid Pacha will be elo- vated to the rank of Grand Vizier, and that he will be replaced in the Foreign Office by Ali Pacha, who has al- ready filled that office. The Russians are concentrating troops and forming magazines at Kaffa, in the Crimea. Advices from Belgrade, of the 11th, announce that the mission of Ethen Pasha had completely failed. The Senate has published its opinion as to the firmanof which Ethen Pasha was the bearer, in which it declares that it accepts with gratitude the confirmation of Servian privi- leges, but it rfaintains that the treaties of Bucharest, Akerman, and Adrianople, which regulate the relations | of Servia with the Porte, must still remain in foree.

Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly sale of stocks and bonds will take place to-morrow, at half-past 12 o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. The catalogue will include a variety of first class stocks and bonds. The Atlantic Bank of Brooklyn has declared a semi annual dividend of five per cent., and the Bank of Sing Sing a dividend of four per cent. The commercial accounts by the Atlantic are not of a very unfavorable character. After a week or two of buoyancy in the cotton market we have now a reaction. Quotations do not show any actual decline, but the desire to sell was increasing, while the demand was rapidly falling off. The principal cause of this change was the nature of accounts from this side, taken out by the Asia. Breadstuffs had become quite active again, at improving prices. The supplies continue large, which tends mate- rially to check speculative operations. ‘The returns of the Bank of England for the week end- ing 11th February, compared with those for the week previous, show a decrease of £56,710 in the notes issued; £180,811 in the public deposits; £261,881 in the other de- posits, £25,231 in the seven day and other bills; £596,050 in the government securities; £23,155 in the bullion, and £448,645 in the active circulation; and an increase of £91,178 in the rest; £844,815 in the private securities; £39,195 in the notes in reserve, and £33,555 in the gold and silver coin. American stocks were in moderate demand, at previous prices. Consols had dectined, but rallied again as the excitement caused by the final answer of the Czar sub- ided. The London News of the 20th of February, gives the following statements of the movements of precious me- als during the previous week :— ‘The imports of the precious metals this week have been unusually heavy, Swing to the arrival of a richly freighted steamer from Australia. Our list, includes 1¢4,465 ounces of gold by the Great Britain, from Aus- tralia; $62,000 by the ‘Niagara, and $100,000 by the Atlantic, by both from New York; about £25,000 in specie and bullion by the steamer La Plata, from the West Indies and Pacific; £085 in specie by the Thames, from Confidence burg, 180 ounces.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. * MONEY MARKET. Wepnmepay, March 8—6 P. M. The news from Europe by the steamship Atlantic, has | had rather a depressing influence upon quotations for stocks. There was quite an active demand, and buyers | took hold freely at the decline in prices. The bulk of the transactions were on time, seller’s option, showing that purchasers have facilities for immediate payment, and confidence enough in the future to enter largely into contracts. The foreign intelligence is calculated to cre- ate apprehensions in the minds of timid apeculators, an induce many to realize; but those who look beyond th excitement of the moment know that any depression in our local stock securities can be but temporary. The de- preciation at the first board to-day was pretty general. IMinois Central Railroad bonds declined 34 per cent; Del. aware an? Hudson, 34; Morris Canal, %; Canton Compa- ny, 5%; New Jersey Zinc, 1%; Florence and Keyport, 44; Nicaragua Transit, 44; Cumberland Coal, 3 ; Panama Railroad, 1; Norwich and Worcester, 1; Reading Railroad, 34; Hudson River Railroad, 1¢ Michigan Central Railroad %. Not one stock on the list advanced @ fraction. Stonington Railroad was firm at yerterday’s prices. The net earnings of this company for the six months ending March Ist, were equal to five and @ half per cent, on the capital, instead of 21; per cent, as stated yesterday. This ix one of the most compact railroad corporations in the country, and its finances are managed with a great deal of skill and udgment. Cumberland was well maintained, with large sales. There is evidently a pretty strong corner in this and it may prove successful for # time; but like all corners which have come up in this market within the past fifteen years, it must ultimately collapse and leave those engaged up to their eyes in the scrip, without any external demand to relieve the holders, Erie Railroad was active, and improved from the opening. The sales were mostly on time, the cash operations having amounted to only about two hundred shares. In the face of such news as the Atlantic brings relative to the Probabilities of an immediate commencement of hostili- ties between the great European Powers, the stock market was fall as well maintained as we could have an- tictpated. In a few days we shall without doubt recover more than we have lost. The second sober thought will Place the queetion in & proper position in the publis mind. The foreign news had no perceptible effect on mining stocks. Gold Hill ia stationary at 4, with fair sales. New Jersey Zine declined an eighth at the first board, but re- covered the decline in the afternoon. Lehigh is firm at 344. Cumberland opened at 83, but improved during the day, and closed at 38%, Parker Vein likewise improveg the following bill prohibiting the issuing of notes by lars, and the circulation of notes issued by banks out of the State. ‘The act goes into operation on the Ist day of June next. "Swann Nore Law or ViraixiA. Seo. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that t shail be the duty of Commissioners of the Revenue and Courts to whom application shall be made for license, to require, from each and every person who shall apply for license, on oath that he will not Pay out, (within the li- mits of the Commonwealth) notes of @ less denomination than five dollars, issued by banks, corporations or indi- viduals.

The following are the rates, as given in the Pittsburg papers, agreed to be charged on the main line of the Pennsylvana eanal, for leading articles of produce:—On flour to Philadelphia and Baltimore the price is fixed at 80c. per barrel; to New York, $1. On pork and beef per barrel to Philadelphia and Baltimore, $1 20; to New York, $1 50. On ginseng, feathers, &c., per 100 Ibs., to Philadelphia and Baltimore, 68¢.; to New York, $1. On wool, deer skins, hemp canvassed, &c., to Philadelphia, | 55e.; to New York, 75c. per 100 Ibs. On cheese, dry fruit, glassware, 50c. per 100 Ibs. to Philadelphia and Baltimore; to New York, 68c. On cotton to Philadelphia | and Baltimore, 0c. per 100 Ibs.; to New York, 6¢. On | bacon, butter, tallow, lard, lard oil, tobacco, &c., to Phi- | Indelphia and Baltimore, 45c. per 100 Ibs.; to New York, | 60c. On wheat, barley, corn, rye, shot, pot ashes, &c., | to Philadelphia and Baltimore, 40c. per 100 Ibs.; to New York, 66¢. per 1001bs. These are certainly very low rates of freight, and will secure as much business as the canal can do. The amendment to the General Banking law of the State of New York, offered by Mr. Sherrill, of the Tenth Senate district, reads as follows:— Sec. 1. The first section of said act is 80 as to read as follows :— hereby amended | _ The stocks which banking associations or individual | bankers, now or hereafter to be organized under the pro- | visions of the act “to authorise ‘the business of bank- | ing,” April 18th, 1838, and the amendments thereto, shall hereafter deposit with the Superintendent of the Banking Department, shall be New York State stocks or United States stocks, in all cases to be, or to be made to be, equal to a stock producing an interest of six per cent per annum: and it shall not be lawful for the Superintendent of the Banking Department to take such stocks at a rate above their par value, or above their cur- rent market value. The dry goods traffic is still devoid of any noticeable animation, beyond what is usual in the trade at this time of the year. The carly anticipated speculative ac- tion has not occurred, so far, the present season; and the indications now favor the conclusion that it will not take place during the remainder of the spring. This dis- appointment, however, does not occasion much uneasi- ness among cither factors or buyers of desirable articles, which latter are in too small supply to be affected by ex- isting circumstances otherwise than favorably. As re- gards broken lote and inferior goods, the prospect is no brighter than we have heretofore noticed. Auctioneers alone can sell them, quickly and these only by overlook- their prime cost and letting the highest bidder have them, even though this course should—as without doubt it would—involve a great sacrifice upon the part of their owners, We hope that this will be the last season that we shall be necessitated to recur to this disagreeable theme. Brown sheetings and shirtings are in moderate stock and fair demand, without change in value, Bleeched sheetings and shirtings are in request and firm, though there is considerable quantity here.
