NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
“ A portion of the English contingent lias pro- 
bably taken the road to Silistria.” In this sentence, is 
summed up all that, up to the time of our writing-, can 
be authoritatively affirmed of the movement of our 
army in Turkey, and this does not really amount to 
much. It is somewhat more satisfactory to be told that 
a portion of the Black Sea force has been actively em- 
ployed, and all the Russian batteries, at ihe Sulina, mouth 
of the Danube, have been destroyed, and the com- 
mander taken. Some more of the ridiculous indul- 
gence which marked the Odessa attair (and which has 
also marked Dundas as a pupil of the Aberdeen school) 
has been manifested at this last attack, and the quaran- 
tine and other buildings have been spared — the absti- 
nence from using fire nnd powder to destroy the 
fortresses, for fear of injuring the rest of the place, 
having entailed cruelly hard work upon our gallant 
fellows, who had laboriously to tear down the works, 
which a few barrels of gunpowder Ayould have sent 
flying over the marshes. But such is the Aberdeen 
policy — no matter how you disgust the Englishmen, 
provided you do not injure the Russian. 
Prince Gortschakoff is concentrating his force as 
much ns possible, nnd evidently preparing to sustain 
an onslaught from the Allies, lie is supposed to have 
about 70,000 men. The Turks appear to have crossed 
the Danube, and halted, and Omer Pasha had sought a 
personal interview with the English and French com- 
manders in order, of course, to arrange the immediate 
conduct of the campaign. It will be through no fault 
of his if a battle does not take place. The Russians will 
probably try to hold Bucharest, and had Austria behaved 
with more energy, this would have been impossible. 
In regard to the attitude of Austria, the gravest doubts 
are still entertained. It is urged, and not without 
reason, that while affecting hostile preparations, she is 
endeavouring to waste the time of the allies, so that the 
summer may pass away without any decisive steps being 
taken, and then the chapter of accidents and the tricks 
of diplomacy may enable her to avoid crossing swords 
with her old friend, Russia. One is loath to believe in 
such fatuity, not to talk of treachery, for as surely as 
Europe once makes up its mind that Austria is really 
acting in the interest of Russia, the House of Hapsburg 
is in a peril more tremendous even than that out of 
which Kossuth’s unwise faith in Imperial honour allowed 
it to escape so recently. The emancipation of Hungary 
and novtnern Italy, and the humiliation and probable 
dismemberment of Austria proper may be looked for at 
no distant date from that at which the Russian policy 
of the Court of Vienna shall be fully comprehended. 
We are inclined to believe that with all her despotic 
instincts, Austria is well aware that she cannot afford to 
come into collision with the free nations of Europe, and 
that half-hearted as the support she must give will be, 
it will be given to the allies. We have now only to hope 
that real and pretended negotiations may be put a stop 
to by a decisive blow inflicted by the united armies. A 
Mtvage proclamation of Russia against the Wallachian 
boyards, whom Count Nesselrode desires may be treated 
with as much severity as possible, is rather a good 
symptom— it speaks of Imperial wrath, and promises 
Wallachian revolt. The imbecile King of Prussia is in 
statu quo , and his country is rapidly losing, through his 
cowardly policy, which abstains from speaking out, the 
rank of one of the Great Powers, whose opinions it ia 
necessary to collect on a question of European interest. 
Prussia will speedily be ranked with those insignificant 
German States, whose chief mission, so far as we can 
see, is to furnish scenes and characters for French vau- 
deville writers. 
The checks and disasters undergone by Russia have 
reduced the unfortunate Kinglet, Otho, to despair. His 
mighty putron being thrust back, there is small hope for 
the ambitious little “Emperor of Byzantium.” The 
Greek insurrection is all but suppressed, and we hear of 
nothing more formidable than intrigues and complaints. 
The English ships are carrying away the French soldiers 
from France to the Baltic. The embarkation, conducted 
under the eye of the Emperor, was effected with great 
order aud speed, and the fraternisation between our 
sailors and their military passengers seems to have 
been very cordial. Soldiers of different nations may 
easily learn to like one another, but that “Jack” 
should be taught that “ Mounseer ” may be a very 
fine fellow, and worthy of the confidence of the 
• foksle,” is really a phenomenon of this Annus Mirabilis. 
Let us hope that the gallant but irascible Baraguay 
d’llilliers will manage to keep his temper in his com- 
munications with the English commander in the Baltic, 
and then all will go well. 
Parliament sits a great many hours, and makes a great 
many speeches, but not much is done, nor do we yet 
hear’ when an end is to be nut to the session. The new 
vote of £17,000 for the office of the new Secretary of 
State for war, was granted without opposition on Monday. 
It was understood that the Conservatives meant to have 
raised some questions on the management of the war, 
but earl} r in the day Lord John Russell assembled about 
180 of his Parliamentary supporters at a privatt 
meeting, and intimated to them that Governmene 
must be more efficiently sustained than hitherto, as the 
spectacle of a ministry being perpetually defeated was 
not satisfactory or constitutional. So the liberals came 
down in force, cheered Lord John aud Mr. Sidney 
Herbert at every other sentence, and seemed, for the 
time, to have daunted the enemy. But one night next 
week there will probably be some smart work, Lord 
John announcing that he intends to ask for a vote of 
credit for the expenses of the war. It may be convenient 
to state, for the information of those who may be con- 
fused by the similarity of official bills, that the new 
Secretary fur War, the Duke of Newcastle, does not 
displace Mr. Sidney Herbert, who is Secretary at War, 
and the new arrangement is that the military portion 
of the department shall still be under the controul of the 
Commander-in-chief and the Master-General of the 
Ordnance, and while questions of patronage and pay shall 
also be in their hands, the new Secretary of State for War 
is to have the controul of the civil and political mat- 
ters, while details remain ns at present, under the 
supervision of the Secretary-at-War. The new func- 
tionary will have the controul of the commissariat 
department. The embodied militia will be subject to 
the military authorities, and the disembodied militia 
under the Home Secretary, Visocunt Palmerston. 
The Government have been defeated but once this 
week, and that upon a matter of no particular con- 
sequence, and in which they are in the right. An Irish 
member, who was interested in a new printing in- 
vention, has succeeded in getting a committee of in- 
quiry into the question, whether the printing of public 
papers may not be more economically performed. The 
Chancellor of the Exchequer, pointed out with force that 
it really was not the business of Parliament to accord 
the motion really aimed at, namely, a decision between 
two mechanical systems, but that it ought to leave such 
mutters to the judgment of trade, which is the legi- 
timate tribunal of inventions, and then to select, in tne 
open market, that which is found to work best. But 
Ministerial members had gone to dinner or else- 
where, and the motion was carried. A great dis- 
turbance at a meeting held to discourage me- 
tropolitan tractarianism has marked the week. The 
odium theologicum rode high ; a prayer was followed by 
n mocking chant of “ Amen,” upon which the chanters 
were kicked out, after a fight ; the leading Protestant 
oratorstated that there was but one sacrament, to the sur- 
prise of his audience, who, however, called to him to “Go 
it,” and other unseemliness characterized a meeting 
avowedly assembled to discuss the proper mode of cele- 
brating divine worship. A long inquest upon a child 
who died in one of our hospitals has at length been closed, 
after several disgraceful scenes, abusive language by 
counsel, excitement among all parties interested, and great 
wrath on the part of the jury. The verdict is, that the 
child died in consequence of an operation unskilfully per- 
formed by Mr. Cooke, and Mr. Wakley the younger. The 
inquiry would not, it is said, have been set on foot (though 
it wasassuredly demanded), but for the desire of a gentle- 
man who had been exiruded from his situation, to punish 
those who had acted harshly towards him. The public 
are interested, inasmuch as it is obvious that though want 
of skill, or of tenderness, is a verv exceptional case as 
regards a professional man, the subordinates in the hos- 
pitals are frequently very ignorant nnd brutal people. 
Of foreign news, beyond that to which we have re- 
ferred, there is none of much interest. The Spanish 
insurrection is reported to be reviving, and us likely to 
result very untavourably for the reigning family. 
Louis Philippe’s Spanish policy may have new illustra- 
tions ere long.
