W Ar -Was All In The Ascendant Last Week...
Perhaps , in this country , we ought not seriously to condemn any man for religious bigotry . We have our Czar in every village ; or if . npVour Ditcher , or our Law , WK 4 J » £ » ™ g * $£ his grandeur and audac ^ i ^ hp ^ ommalwm gp-Pointed to inquire -into the mimd facto ct ^ against the Reverend Georga ^ nthony Dems ** has returned a special verdict ^ at Mr . D ^ magu * doctrine is not th # of th * 1 ffech of Ei ^ ftid , but that he has expressly disavowed the doctrine of transubstantiation . In other words , Mr .
Denison cannot be called a Romanist ; but in the opinion of the Low Church , High Church doctrine is heterodox . High Church thinks exactly the same of Low-Church doctrines . Simeon was right when he cautioned Joseph Wolfe against hastily using that word " heresy . ' * If Englishmen fling the ancient Fathers aad modern evangelical tract-writers at each other ' s head , they will scandalise those outside the Church enough to break up the establishment . The present case , however , is tainted
by something worse than sectarian doctrinesthere is personal venom mixed up -with it . George Anthony Denison cannot command the absolute approval of any man who takes a serious and consistent view of religious questions . ^ He unites a certain rash caprice with an ambitious enthusiasm , ill-befitting the representative of any consistent party . But he is liked personally , save by the Low Churchmen ; and because he invests what they call heresy with the influences derived from personal esteem , they desire tb drive him out of the Church . There
is a personal conspiracy * as well as a sectarian conspiracy ^ against Archdeacon Denison ; the foul play is so obvious , that it has recoiled on itself . And those churchmen , who would break into the parish church to commit ecclesiastical murder upon Denison , or the beneficed dissenter who sits at home and eggs them on , have been detected , and are known . Josidh Ditcher is a bad name for a minister of charity—not so bad , perhaps , for a public prosecutor . It sounds like very dirty work . Henry Law is the hedger .
Of all domestic tragedies that have so frequently startled the public lately , that in Foleyplace is one of the most startling . In this quiet and virtuous land , a couple are sleeping in their bed , "wheni ; hey are awakened- by an infuriate intruder , who shoots the man , wounds the woman , and rushes up-stairs into another room to attempt the destruction of himself . The police are brought in to seize the murderer , Baranelli , an Italian , and the secrets of the house are revealed .
Lambert , the . murdered man , was Latham , a man of property ; the woman with him was not his wife . They h $ id been separating the assassin from another woman in their house , who seems to have roused his vehement nature by alternate tenderness and repulsion . He declares that they had sought to prevent his becoming a father , by persuading hqr to the commission of a crime . Guilt was latent in that house ; . Baranelli rendered it flagrant , and made the painful story of its entangled relations the property of the penny-aliner ^ '

However , similar activity is manifested by the enemy . The latest telegraph tells us that Turkey is again invaded ' " BBAHX > w , Jan . 9 .
" The Russians have crossed the Danube , invaded the Dobrudscha , and taken both Tultscha and Baba" Sadyk Pacha defended Tultscha -as long as possible . " At Sebastopol considerable skirm ishing has taken place . On the 20 th the Russians made a sortie , which is described in the following , from L . oxd Raglan ' s despatch : — " The only occurrence in the siege operations has been a sortki made by the enemy on both our right and lef t during the night of the 20 th , the one being conducted sitently , the other with drums beating and shouting , the first being probably the real object of the advance , as nearer to the Inkerman heights . ¦
" Owing to the extreme darkness of the night , the enemy were enabled to come very near the right attack without being perceived , and , having made a sudden rush upon the most forward parallel , they compelled : the men occupying it to withdraw , until reinforced by a party under Major Welsford , of the 97 th Regiment , when it was regained possession of , and the Russians retired , not however without occasioning some loss in killed , wounded , and missing , Lieutenant Byron , of the 34 th Regiment , being among the latter . met with
" On the left attack the enemy were great gallantry by Lieutenant Gordon , of the 38 th Regiment , who , when supported by the covering party of the trenches , under Lieutenant-Colonel Waddy , of theSOth , succeeded in at once driving them back . But here , too , I regret to say the loss was still more severe ^ Major Mollerj of the 50 th , fell mortally wounded , and I am concerned to add is since dead , and Captain Frampton and Lieutenant Clarke , both of the 50 th Regiment , are missing . _ Sir Richard England speaks in high terms of the gallantry and vigilance of these troops , and of the distinguished conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Waddy . "
Since the departure of the division of General Liprandi for BakBtchi-Serai aud Simpheropol , in anticipation of a movement on the side of Eupatoria , no more masses of Russians have been seen . They keep in their positions on the Belbek , but are busily occupied in digging up the ground both in the town and the country . The French batteries are all armed , but the English works , unfortunately x do not advance with all the celerity that could be desired ., ___ . . _ _„ ... _ _„ :.. The arrival of Omar Pacha will be an important feature . Letters from Constantinople state that he
was well received by the Sultan and the Grand Vizier . All his demands relative to clothing and provisioning the troops he is to command at Eupatoria were acceded to . Up to the 22 nd ult ., 12 , 000 men had embarked at "Varna for that destination . The French force at Eupatoria had been made up to a division . It was believed that the whole of tho intended Turkish force would fee assembled there by the 6 th of January , and a movement towards Simpheropol would immediately take place . General Osten-Saeken , on the other hand , would take the offensive against Eupatoria with 45 , 000 infantry , 9000 cavalry , and 80 guns .
Later accounts say that Omar Pacha had gone to Balaklava—this was dated the 28 th . The following tqiegraph relates to this : — " Vienna , Friday Evening , Jan . 5 . " The following is reliable intelligence from tho Crimea of the 26 th of December : — " ' The Russians are taking up a position on the Alma , in order to ward off any attack upon Sebastopol from tho north—probably a precautionary measure against tho Turks at Eupatoria . '" The following telegraphic intelligence , received by the Vienna Freese from Bucharest , requires confirmation : — " Prince Stirboy is raising an auxiliary corps of 10 , 000 Wallachians , to assist tho Turks in their operations against the Russians . "
The French- army before Sobastopol will form two corps under Generals Pelieaior and Bosquet ; the fiat will prosecute the siege , and tho second is to act in tho uold . General Canrobert will exercise tho chief command as hitherto . " A letter from Constantinople received by the Inst mail confirms , " says the Constitutionnel , " the intelligonco that the Russians have abandoned tho ground in front of the Quarantine fort , occupied by a small village . Tho French soldiers hurried in to eoizo on

Such examples of sang-froid are by no means rare . " ii n limli iIhIiIiiiTiiiii the gardens , articles
. ... On the 21 st of December , General Alonville , with a large force of cavalry and a battalion of Chasseurs , made a reconnaissance in the direction of Baidar . The Russians observing the movement came down in large forces , but the French having observed the exact position of the enemy , returned with a few prisoners , and with a loss of four men , killed and wounded . On the night of the 21 st the Russians made two sorties on the English and French lines , and were repulsed . * ¦ * The news received at St . Petersburg is trifling . It consists of the continued reiteration , *• That nothing of importance had occurred . " The French are constructing an aqueduct near Kamiesch Bay , which will provide the ships ¦ with fresh water when completed .
Advices from Balaklava of the 30 th of December state that the railway was to he commenced at once . There has been another tempest in the Black Sea , causing some disasters . Two English ships suffered damage . Sir George Brown will return to England lor a time , to re-establish his health . Admiral Dundas arrived at Malta with the Britannia and the Trafalgar , and will take his passage in the Vectis for France . The Duke of Cambridge has also landed from the Thames , and will remain to recruit his health . _ _
The number of troops who embarked at Marseilles from the 12 th November to the 31 st ult ., was 11 , 290 infantry and 1966 cavalry , making a total of 13 , 236 men ; 963 horses and mules were embarked during the same period . -
RUSSIAN MOVEMENTS . The movements of Russian troops are not rendered less active by any tiling that is taking place at Vienna . Russian infantry , cavalry , and artillery are steadily advancing towards the Austrian frontier , as well as through Odessa to the Crimea . The whole of the 1 st corps of infantry and a division of Grenadiers have been concentrated on the right bank oi the Vistula . The landed proprietors have been called upon to provide immediately provisions and provender . " Wabsaw , Jan . 4 .
" Three Belgian rifle manufacturers have engaged to found- a manufactory of arms here , and are daily expected . Prince Paskiewitch and the Emperor will make a tour of inspection , which will include all the headquarters of the active army corps . General von Delin , the head of the engineering service , arrived yesterday , and is to inspect all the fortresses in this kingdom . Tho heavy snow-fall has put a stop to all travelling by railway . " " "Wabsaw , Jan . 5 . " General Berg leaves to-morroW for Finland , to organise his army for the expected Baltic campaign in tho spring .
" Captain Jefmowitch has arrived with 10 , 000 firstrate rifles , made with all the recent improvements . He bought them in Belgium , having been sent thither especially for that purpose . "
THE AUSTRIAN AttMY ON THE FBONTIEK . The Austrian forces now stationed iu the city and neighbourhood of Cracow amount to 52 , 000 men of . all arms , with sixty-eight pieces of ordnance , divided into four parks , which cam be united in five days . The army corps stands in direct communication with that of Lemberg , which numbers 42 , 000 men . The junction of the two might bo effected without great difficulty , either for joint action or for union with the army in Eaat Gallicia and the Bukowina , as circumstances might require . The latter army corps may number 100 , 000 men ; that of TransylTania has a strength of 130 , 000 menj and that of the Principalities about 50 , 000 .
