The Herald announces, in large type, the virtual defeat of the Government, implied by is majority last night of only three on the 'l‘urkish Loan question. It further-_ adds-—-‘ 'l‘lie ques- tion really at issue is the tinancial cliarncter of the Cabinet, and the credit re mscd by the House of (‘oiiimons iii the principles oflinance by which they intend to govern the country in reference to foreign aﬁ'airs."

I-II-‘I-‘ECTS OF THE BLOCKADE or Tiii: BLACK

At Galatz, on the 8th inst., active measures were licing taken to organise a regular system of transit for the produce of the southern pro- vinces of Russia, through the Austrian domi- nions, thus to neutralise, to some extent. the effects of the blockade of the ports in the Black

. ea. The agent of an American house established at Odessa was at Galatz making arrangements with the Vienna Steamboat Company for the conveyance to the Austrian capital of ii. large uautity of Russian wool, to be shipped at ni; and this appeared merely to be at the prelude to much more extensive operations. '1‘ tone of commercial aﬁiiirs has under- gone ittle or no chin e, owing to the almost entire absence cfnews o moment, either foreign or domestic. From the seat of war in the East the intelligence, although reporting no impor- tant operations, is of a satisfactory character, the health and morale of the allied arinies being excellent; and numerous sorties, several of a formidable character, against the advanced positions of both armies. being repulsed at a comparatively triﬂing loss to the allies, but very serious to the enemy. From the Baltic we have advices of some o rations of a nature to seriously harass the ussians in that quar- ter, undertaken very successfully by the squad- rons of England and France in that sea. At home, the discussions on Sir E. B. Lytton's and Mr. Roebiiek’s want of conﬁdence in

government notions, with the ministerial ex-Y lanations consequent upon the resignation of‘ Bord John Russell, have been the only features:

1-its nsssrts. _ The present week has been marked by two important debates, involving the fate of the Government, and stirring up these political rivalries and animosities which accompan all contests for power in this country. Lord ohn Russell was the subjeetof the ﬁrst and most i‘ilnpoiktanlI): dlqbate. sup ltpe second was ledi by . r. oe uc , who is the trump car of Sebastcpol. Lord John Russell anticipated the tllecislion of the House of C(t)iml‘l1t0'l:B by lrtesigning. n t is instance he saeri oe imse to save his friends, although suspicions are revalent» that his original purpose, in pursuing t e course which has driven him from power, was to sacri- ﬁcpr his friends to serve pgmself he debate if which rd John Russell was the subject waii not creditable, looked at in an point of view. _ The chief actor in the drains realised the axiou} that a man who pleads his own cause has a ool for his client.

He went down to the House

with his prepared iiiiproiiiptos, and, although the circumstances had altogether changed since his polished invectives had been manufactured and barbed. he lnid no alternative but to shoot them. To sléiy the slain is a work of superst- ro ation, an , moreover, it is unsceinl . Lord Pagliiierston, who is cunning of fence, pyerccived the advantage, and turned it to account. But he, too, ovcrncted his part, and received in re- turn what all Bobadils deserve--chastiseinent. Mr. Disraeli came down upon him, rapier in hand, and did severe execution.

It was a painful exhibition tliroughout—one of those dis lays in which persons of eminence a pear to e inspired by very little motives. I ollow, wordy, patriotism was never more transparent. A gentleman named Bouverie relieved the less a recable features of the scene by a dash qf burlzesquc which has ‘made him immortal. t seems that the niem iers ofthc Government not in the cabinet, ﬁnding that Lord John Russell had sailed on a false tack, which jeopardised the safety of the ship,desircd to throw him overboard _Wl.lll0llt ceremony. l‘hese unselﬁsh persons, wishing to accelerate the unhappy lord's movements, and_ fearing, that he would not take the plunge in timc,, made Mr. Bouverie their medium of coinniuni- 1 cation with the unfortunate delin neat; and it 9 was the recital of this incident w ich reduced ‘ the rave deliberations of the Senate to they broa est farce. It revived the memory of the indignity which the dying lion received from the heels of the obstrepcrous ass—a fable illustrative of modern government as well as of wiadruped ingratitude.

ell he is gone to the shades. poor fellow- sunk so low that the lever which was requisite to raise I-‘alstaﬁ' from.the round is not strong enough to make the dimunitive personage who represents the city of London. stand on _his legs again. The father of two Reform Bills, the man who has played so im ortant a part on the olitical stage during the ast forty ears, with istorical_associations and the higicst social prestige, is liticall dead and buried—as mo- rally cxtinc as if t e family mausoleum had received his remains, Popular gratitude, always ﬁckle, appears in his case to be transformed into the avenging ro_d. His political epitaph has_ been traced uring the last few days _ y various hands, and in the treatment charity ﬁnds no place. The belligerent propensities of the people are vindicatedelsy tie ostility to one who in times past serv the cause of pro- gress, and served it when the cause was not over prosperous. It is a painful episode——a moiirnful commentary on human weakness,and the instability ot that for which men sacriﬁce so much-—fanie.

In all the dissertations on the inisdoings of Lord John Russell, we ﬁnd hardly any reference : uiade to the other) which he ﬁll_ed,—that ofS.e-I ~pi-ie,t:li‘i]'y J; tgigcgalonies.
