borough . Mr . Scovell will address a public meeting of tlie electors on Monday evening . Mr . Serjeant Kinglake will contest Wells on the Liberal interest .

Notices To Correspondents. No Notice Can...
NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS . No notice can be taken of anonymous communications Whatever is intended for insertion must bo authenticated by the name and address of the writer : not necessarily for publication , but as a guarantee of his good faith . Communications should always be legibly -written , and on one side of the paper only . If long , it increases the difficulty of finding space for them . . We cannot undertake to return rejected communications . It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive . Their insertion is often delayed owing to a press of matter ; and when omitted , it is frequently from reasons quite independent of tho merits of the communication .
Ebkjltttm.—By A Singular Clerical Error ...
EbkJlTttm . —By a singular clerical error in out last , Strahan . Paul , and Bates , were described as having been in Newgate instead of the House of Detention- The mistake may be said to correct itself , since the Middlesex magistrates , sitting at Clerkenwell , could have nothing to do with the management of a prison which belongs to the city of Xondon : but we owe it to our rentiers to point out the blunder , and to request that they will correct it .

Peace—Or A Wau Of Pmnctpjles. The Conser...
PEACE—OR A WAU OF PMNCTPJLES . The Conservative minority , arguing for an immediate peace , assumes that the Russian Government is disposed to yield , on material points , to the Allies . The supposition may be correct ; but it has no basis , either of fact ; or probability . Since the reduction of Sebastopol , nothing but defiance has been breathed by the enemy—nothing but ill-will by his masked allies * . So far , then , as appearances warrant any conclusion , it must be unfavourable to the idea of a settlement . Schemes of negotiation no longer float iix the air , even at Bez * lin . Throughout the Russian Empire the only activity visible is in the arsenals , and in the machinery of the Conscription . We may go further . Europe itself , with the exception of Russia , is less inclined to peace than it was at the commencement of the year . There is something of recklessness in the new position assumed by Austria towards Piedmont : something of audacity in the vituperations of tho President of the Frankfort Assembly towards I ranee . The Duke of Tuscany , an . Austrian Marionette , insults the King of Piedmont , who gathers up his strength to strike for Italy . Royal
Naples , inspired from Vienna , but not so astute or so docile , swaggers portentously at the side of his Cai ^ uan ! Fami ) iar . There is less of conciliation and more of arrogance in the diplomacy of the several Powers . These are not the agencies of peace . They resemble , rather , the preliminaries of a general war . In that war principles must bo asserted against dynasties , or it will end in partition , patchwork , and tho endowment of tho moat successful of the military powers .
"With Russia herself tho obstacles to peaco are not less than they were ia tl > o spring . She has been defeated ; at hor salient point , triply defended by a fleet , a fortress , an nriny , tho Allies have been victorious ; surely this is not a time for such an empire to retire , unabashed , from the ( struggle ! If the terms proposed on her part at tho Vicuna Congress wore humiliating to lierHclf , they were at that time—at least tho Conservatives said so—useless as guarantees to Turkey , to France , and to England . Consequently , tho dilemma is between adopting n echeme which we would not oven consider at Vienna , or leaving it to tho CzAit ' a Cabinet to otter a nuw ono , imposing upon Russia additional restrictions
and , it must follow ; additional iehnfne . "We repeat , there has been nothing in , the recent acts or language of the enemy to sigru % tl * at he is inclined to change his attitude . The desperate agility of the Conservatives brings them to a new device . They will have another version of the plan which Russia offered , and which the Allies refused . Thus the honour of both will be saved . But it was not to the form , but to the effect of the original " Points , " that Russia objected . Her object , divested of all diplomatic disguise , is to conclude a peace whicli shall not restrict her actions , or interrupt her policy . Never , since she became an empire , has Russia consented to a real sacrifice .
It is of tins difficulty that a solution is required . Keep the war within its political limits , narrow it as you will , eliminate all passion , all sentiment , all principle , all reference to the settlement of Europe upon a substantial "basis . Can the war be said to have accomplished any purpose until Russia has surrendered an object of her policy , and given securities that she will not seek to resume it ? Define her territories on the
Danube , open that river as a common highway , connect Turkey by relations with the European system , enforce , if you can , a permanent authority within the territories of Russia by prescribing the extent of her naval and engineering works on the coasts of the Black Sea , and bow will Persia stand ? With what powers will Uussia " concert" to lay down her frontier in . that direction ? When is that "defect" to be " rectified ?"
The Conservative organs—weak and frivolous—have a bad apology to offtr for the worst error in their history . There are two grounds on which men may well agitate for jjeace : the first is , a denial of the right of war ; the second , an aversion to useless war . The Conservatives stand upon neither . They have eaten a toad in Mr . GiiA . DSTONE ' s antechamber . They , who derided Lord John Russelt / s conversion at
Vienna , are converted themselves , and look wistfully at the " Point" which Mr . Disraeli tossed and balanced on many a malignant ? epigram . Never has there been in England such a break-down of a great historical party . The reasonings of its advocates are con ^ sciousiy feelble . They all rest , we have said , on the assumption of a pacific disposition in Russia ; that is , they beg the question , since , if Russia were frankly to abjure her designs of aggression , remove all pretext for a quarrel , and secure the original objects of the war , a Conservative Cabinet would not bo needed to
re-ecslablitfh peace . TheimLiou ia entirely misrepresented by those who ascribe to it a lust of bloodshed , and a blind fury against the people of Russia . But tho Liberal part of tho nation does think that a war of principles , to create a free Europe , can alone erect permanent barriers against military ambition , and restore to commerce and industry regions now exhausted to fill fortressgranaries , and cities rendered mute and base by tho atrocities of any maniac who forms a link in tho ruling system .
If Russia , driven from an outpost of hoi empire , retorts by a new challenge , on what ground ia hor submiuuion expected ? Hoi injuries may be briefly summarised . Whe has lost tho labour and expenditure of halt ' a century ip tho docks and foi'biiicntionfi of ttobnstopol , in tho Black Sen squadron , and in the minor fortresses of the JUuxino and tho Sea of Azof . But there is a wide difference betweon losing these advantages and surrendering the privilege * by which they were obtained Can tho A ) he » extort such a surrender ? The liuflHian Wmpiro warmed on nil nidefl—almost invulnerably . To unsettle its foundations , it it ) necoasary to bring
