cultural dinner at Plymouth , he said :- — "The militia is the natural means of defence in all times of danger , and from the reports which I have received I am enabled to announce that they have turned out in a manner as gratifying to me as it must ba \ o you . There is no fprce so formidable a « ap armed population . There is no nation—I care not whaf ; their deeds of glory may have been—which can assail Great Britain with any chance of success , so long as she was loyal to the Queen and true to herself . It is upon the loyalty of the people that we must rely—not upon fortifications here or there—but , I repeat , upon the peopleupon those born to till the soil and to defend it . " ( Loud plaudits . )

THE ON-COMINQ OF RUSSIA . Ttjekey and Russia are still tlie objects of tho keenest curiosity daily , and , notwithstanding the fact that the papers are deluged with reports that contradict each other every hour , there is shrewd reason to suppose that in the main the truth is proximately before us . Eussia haa studiousl y imparted an altered manner to her behaviour , if not towards Turkey , towards the other powers of Europe . Her attack is not to be made upon Constantinople itself , by a fleet anchored off its amDhitheatre , —the place is likely to be too well
defended for that , fror will Russia repeat that attempt to cross the Balcan which proved so hazardous in 1828 , and which would evidently be more dangerous now , with the support that the Sultan has from his Asiatic subjects , and from his most powerful European allies . The point to be attacked , if it it is not alread y so , ia the portion , of the territories of Turkey which lie on the left bank of the Danube , —territories under rather an , anomalous relation with the Porte , and enjoying , if we may be allowed the expression , a certain degree of protection from Russia . On the strength of that protection Russia has the right
to visit those principalities with military occupation , under certain extreme circumstances , which do not at present exist . The Porte has the same right ; the object being to maintain the constituted authority in these principalities , and to defend , on the ono hand Christian , and , on the other hand , Turkish rights . Russia now conveys to other p owers the assurance , that her attack on Turkey will be limited to that occupation , and that so long as she keeps within tho letter of her right , she abstains from creating a casus belli . The sophistry of this proposition , however , is
generally exposed . It is to bo observed that oven if Russia had the right to occupy the provinces , she could havo no right to use that occupation as a hostile compulsion upon Turkey in genoral policy . The conduct of Russia just at present exactly resembles tho mode in which she has made her encroachments before ; sometimes by sudden aggression , sometimes by establishing a footing on the half-pacific principle ; and it is scarcely possible that she can succeed in inducing tho statesmen of Europe to be deceived by her present professions of peaceful purpose .
There is no evidence that they havo been 00 deceived—on tho contrary , while the preparations of Turkey to resist any invasion are continued with spirit , thoso of Franco and England are not loss porsovoringly pursued . France in particular is hastoning hor naval preparations , and establishing camps within her own territory as wo are ; while our Mediterranean fleet ia already at hand to co-operate under the direction lewith the
of tho Ambassador at Constantinop , Turkish and French Hoots , the flying squadron , under Admiral Corry , 1 ms been ordered back to reinforce our channel reserve , and the rumours of a rendezvous in Yarmouth Roads indicato « n evident purpose of being propared not only to destroy tlie Russian naval armaments in the Black Sea , but simultaneously to establish an effectual blockade at the entrance of tho Baltic .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The reduced rate of mortality announced in last return was continued in the week that ended last Saturday , in which the number of deaths registered was 1007 . In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average number was 887 , which , with a correction for increase of population becomes 978 . The actual mortality ia , therefore , still in excess of the estimated amount by 31 . As compared with those of the previous week , the present
results exhibit general uniformity . Fatal cases produced by typhus have risen again from 41 to 53 ; those by phthisis frqm 152 to 163 ; ' and , while bronchitis has still further declined from 63 to 64 , pneumonia has increased from 42 to 62 . Small-pox last week carried off 6 children and an adult ; scarlatina 28 children and 2 adults ; measles and hoopingeough , 26 and 58 children respectively . A few weeks ago diarrhoea slightly manifested a disposition to increase , but more recently it has subsided ; the deaths from this complaint were 23 , while the corrected average is 15 .
