iiiiws or In naum_yi_n._ OPENING 0!‘ THE DARDANELLES

The Dardsnellsa are open—the vanguard of the combined fleets float upon the Sea of Marrnora (if the whole naval force be not there), andthe Treaty of Adrianopls is no more. Such are the first consequences of Russian duplicity and fraud. The first Russian soldier that crossed the Pruth virtu- ally cancelled that Treaty; but the entrance of foreign ships of war allows no opportunity for paltering with the question—the Dartlanelles can- not be again, unless it be “through the scandalous romirsness,or the extreme treachery of those Powers who have taken upo themselves the onerous task of arbitrating between Russia and the peace of the world. The Sultan has thrown up the undignificd otiics of Russian

of a bygone age; 1 Failing in. every effort to attack the law upon prineip , an in many instances mag- nanimouply admitting it is a good law, “ if it can be enforced,” they have gone earnestly to work to prove the impossibility of enforc- ing it; and ‘on thispoint they ofi'er some strange testimony. ..l’notninent amongtheir willing witnesses stands the editor of: the Boston Transcript, who boasts of having been pcrlic crsmiaia in the violation of -the Maine w in. Maine, who boasts of having been one of fifiy persons at dinner at a public table where the champagne bottles were 0 “with aloud report” and passed round; and who boasts of hsvin been one of a party of twenty who “inbroar visited at: bar-room of atf.a‘ohion-f a e_ , whose re was a grea owo decanters filled and “where the company the barltee r, the, arniture of the room, and everyt iug which meets the eye indicate that it isa bar-room, with every facility for the open hole of ardent spirits by the glass to all applicants.” And he concludes by saying: " We must believe our own senses and positive evidence ziiipreforence to the statements of; others, and the negative testi- mony furnished, by those who are evidently not osted u . Si; far as the cases cited by this editor are concerned, we are inclined to believe him.

the former;‘ but by no means envy his position as it transgrcssor in the latter case. —And ifguilty,'. at he confesses, or, rather,

The Em ror of Russia has made his choice, and mast sbi by its consequences. c cannot be saved by grace of Lord Aberdeen, bowevor strenuously that no- ble lord, upon whose entrance into ofice tho Rus- sian sttaek upon the indepcndance of 'l‘urkey .was begun, may endeavour to save him; and now that England and France have found it necessary to take part in tho strife, thprs should be no weak comprornises—no coneessions—ths time is past for diplomatic civilitior, and henceforth diplomacy must have for its sole ob‘ oi the obtaining of sulficicnt guarantees that ussia will. not again

'disturb the ‘peace. The reckless drunkard who

makes a noise in the night and alarms people their beds. is deposited in the station-house, whe- ther he likes it or not; and the inclinations and dispositions of the Emperor Nicholas, also must set at. when he is brought into subjec- tion, as he will be, to the rights of nations and the cause of order. The opening of the Dardanelles. if it became permanent (the Treaty of Adrianoplc being do- e with the termination of peace between Russia and the Turks), will be one of the greatest events, fraught with the mightiest consequences to the world, that has occurred in modern history; while one of its earliest efl'ects will be to out off the right arm of Russia. “It ma he said, , observes a recent writer, “that these boundry straits between Europe and Asia are open to com- merce. Yes to unprotected commerce, but what security is there for the continued prosecution of unprotected commerce! What would be th worth of the commerce of the Mediterranean, if any one Power or any two Powers could close the Straits of Gibrslter as the Dardancllos have been closed? Let the coasts of the l-Juxins and ofits adjacent seas be thrown open, and in despite of the rigid exclusiveness of Russian government, commlroo will be multiplied two or three fold ; in a few years civilisation will follow commerce. and all the benr@ts of free. ovornmcnt, if not actually fresfovernmspt itself.’ This is what the Can res s. as the Emperor Francis of Aus- tria at Verona tn ‘I822 professed ‘to feel-that scholars, gentlemen, or merchants, are"not.wha| s despot wants--he wants nothing but ‘obedient subjects and well-drilled soldiers.’ " Civilization the Emperor of Russia dreads, case before 'llq regress, mind throws off its shackles, and the sort coins to be . Civilisation is what the Empe- ror of Austria drsads, because his mythic power lrmslntaised by ‘ignorance and ‘superstition; and habits of communion and correspondence with His cost al nations would efiect the downfall of all that is bigoted and restrictive in principle, and that is vicious sod arbitrs in the practice of the Austrian Govcrninsnt. he oowsr ‘co and trea- chery of Andria. observed in its rleining friend- ship vow tdo Turkey, whilst Russia was able to

'l‘he total imports of the present week amount to upwards of £600,000. Both the former vetsels.hsve made very quick passages. By these irrlvals important intelligence has been‘ received.

DISASTER8 AND LOSS OF LIFE IN THE In I.“ l(ERSEY.' ‘ ‘ or w onflosd evening, an Monday, withgic the most vi:l’cat hurricanes experienced for many years.

Piiaciovs Mr:-ru.s is 'l‘i.~rxsv.—A discovery has been made in Turkey in the course of the rail- way survey, which will probably increase the Csar‘s avidity for that flue country. Messrs Laaliy, the engineers of the contemplated rail- vvva , have returned to Constantinople. bringing ,_wi_tli them large quantities of almost every sort of tnctalliferous orc, viz., gold, silver. iuercury copper, load, antimony, arsenic, and iron; and also coal, alum, llllprlrv anil Iulplier. lt is

ulatod that the annual produce ofthe fields may be four millions sterling. The gold has been found near Adrianople, in the plains formed by the earthy deposits, and in the ferruginous sands of the river Aids, and also on the slopes of Mount Pclion and Mount Ossa in Thessaly, intermixed with extensive deposits of ligniie. The silver and lead mines appear to be of most value. and of immense extent particularly those of Mount Pelion, where more than ‘200 different galleries have been already opened, showing an amount of richness in mineral deposits al- most fabulous. The lead mines of Mount Potion are only three or four miles from the harbours Zsora and Volo, and have an abundance of water power and fuel.
