At home the most important subject hh be&ii Mr . Gladstone ' s vicissitudes M thcl' money wOrld The prpposals for a loaii W six millions ^ i ^ Exi chequer Bonds were to be received pri' ijre ^ ifeL instant : very- few csiaae in , However , even for s eries A ; -vhile- for series i B and G tlte ^ ci We ' rfe almost no tenders .

ODESSA , notwithstanding the contradiction of Russia , lias been bombarded ; Russian blood has been drawn by the arms of the allied forces , " passion has been engaged on both sides , and a " material" guarantee has been taken on both . sides for the active prosecution of the contest . A war-steamer had been sent to tie . port , in torder t 6 bringawsy the British and French
residents ' , a boat approached the shore with a flag of truce ; rt was repulsed , and in its way outwards it was followed by seven shots ^ irom the guns of the fort . The Httle craft regained the steamer , which returned to the fleet , and the fleet soon brought English guns to bear upon the fort and town . Forts -were dismantled ; the war-shipping had undergone a ten hours' fall of the ixon manna , but endeavours were made to spare private property and neutral ships . It appears likely that some event , also
advantaappears to have been most friendly . Our grenadiers were evidently a perfect revelation to the Turks , altogether dangerous for the stability of the Koran .. It is a new idea in the Turkish mind , that men should move together in great bodies with freedom and precision . The same wonder struck the Persians , when Sir John Malcolm's
body-guard was drilled at Tehran : — ' * They must , " cried one of the spectators , seeing how bodies , legs , hands , and eyes moved an unison , " have been born all on one day ! " " Impossible , *' cried another , " for they must all have had one father . " The Turk desires to be drilled and regimented . French officers have begun to number t 3 te louses in their quarter' and the law ber taife louses an . their quarter j and the law
which forbids numbering of the people totters to its foundations . Such unexpected missionaries find . Greece has proved its thorough sympathy with Russia , by emulating that great power in the force and extent of its lying . The Foreign Minister , M . Parkos , has sent a circular to the Greek diplomatists at foreign courts , making an appeal to the nations against the " unjust" charges of Turkey—representing that Greece has only been
the sufferer under Turkish invasion , while the only check to her control of Greeks in their Christian impatience to attack the Mussulman has aris en from regard for internal liberties . A more barefaced composition of sneaking hypocrisy was never laid before the world—except in the recent instance of Nicholas ; whoso insolence , h owe vex , is less beggarly than this Greek tale . Its falsehood has been exposed by Mr . >\[" yse and Mr . Forth Rouen , the British and Foreign Ministers ; whose refutation will have to be followed up by a practical correction of Greece in action .
The ^ Emperor Austria married . Marringe is a great event in the life even of an Emperor ; and coining with other circumstances , it maj coerce the Caesar of Vienna into a new life . He is compelled to an alliance with comparativelj constitutional Governments for a decided constitutional course ; obliged to take a position antagonistic to his great protector , Russia , ho is
forcod to lean more upon the less absolute powers , and upon the support of his own subjects . Wliilo policy forces him to this course , good feeling , aroused at a critical moment of his life , induced him to attempt more lenient measures , and it maj be said more faithful moasures , with Italy an < l Hungary . The rejoicings which celebrate his marriage may mark a happy turn in bia life .
geous to the Turks , has occurred in the neighbourhood of Silistria . The telegraph , indeed , reports a " great" victory of 70 , 000 Turks advancing to the destruction of the Russians , and driving them across tlie river with immense loss ; but , as we have shown in a separate paper , there is great reason to doub > t the possibility of these movements over the ground in question ; and we come down to the conclusion > that one more in the series of Turkish successes has been disproportionately magnified in the earlier reports .
There are also other rumours more or less improbable , which would assign the drawing of blood to an earlier date ; such , for instance , as the tale of English and French officers landing at Kostendjc , and the extension of their sporting from the legitimate quarry to live Russians who happened to crosa their guns . But here , we take it , fiction is sportinc with fact .
A more agreeable doubt dawns over the glooiny descriptions of tlio state in which British soldiers were lodged at Gallipoli , without bread , hospitals , or any other pleasures . The fact appears to be , that , while some part of the complaint is still unanswered , provisions arc cheap , the lodging is ais good as the Turkish standard admits , —and perhaps that is not wonderfully below the standard of lodging for many a working man , nor for many a soldier in certain English barracks even ten years ago ; and as to the reception of the troops , it

Ministers have sustained a virtual defeat on their Railway Bill . We have already stated that the railway interest had organised itself to pieverit the passing of the Bill , on the plea that it tmr thorised an arbitrary interference by the Bonr 3 of Trade with the time-tables , rates of speed , and charges upon railways . Railway directors possess considerable influence in boroughs , and * honourable members dare not stand independent of constituents so active , influential , and wealthy . Hence , as in the case of the Reform Bill , a desperate resistance to Ministers was getting up .
Foreseeing- this , Mr . Cardwell has , in fact , iWithdrawn his or iginal bill , although tfliat incorporated only some of the recommendations by the select committee on the subject ; and he has introduced a new one . The form of doing so was , to move that the hill bo committed pro formQ , in order that " amendments" might bo introduced . It now consists only in a measuro to secuze the forwarding of passengers and goods , and to grant summary power of enforcing that compulsion . ; leaving many other securities , especially those for life and limb , apparently untouchod . At least , so

"The one Idea which History exhibits as evermore . developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea pf Humanity—the noble endeavour to throw down ali the barriers erected bet-ween men . tiy prejudice and one-aided views : and by setting aside the distinctions of Religion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Hcunan raee as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development of our spiritual nature .
