T ) EACE or War is still the stirring question—* _ T 7 the general expectation inclining to peace , while our own advices by way of Paris incline to the opposite contingency . It will be seen by our Paris letter that there are grounds for the rougher anticipations ; and the "if" suggested by our correspondent , as corroborating . the reports of actual hostilities in the Black Sea , is in part
fulfilled by the reported movement of English and French ships towards the German ocean . But at no very distant date , these eager' asgurance * of war , and these pertinacious assurances of peace , will be settled by positive accounts . Meanwhile , orders have actually been issued froni St . Petersburgh , for the advance of the troops across the Pruth . ' . ¦¦ . ' ' ' ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ' : ' . : ¦¦¦ ¦ . . " :.
From St . Petersbiirgh or . Constantinople we have additional materials towards the history of the Turko-Ruststan dispute , but nothing decisive . Last week we had the Circular Note whieh Russia addressed to foreign courts through her representatives , declaring that she stood upon the old contest with Turkey , about the custody of th « holy places , and the key of the chief shrine at Bethlehem ; and hinting . threats to other powers
if Ihey should take sides with Turkey . This Note has been construed by some of the foreign powers aforesaid to be pacific in its tendency , and perhaps the same interpretation will be given to the Note addressed by the Russian Government direct to the Porte , in which somewhat the same argument is put more briefly , and only the threats addressed to jTurkey are more naked . The Emperor avers that his troopY will not enter the Principalities to make war , but to seize a material pledge until the
Porte shall give him the moral guarantee that he has required ; and Redschid Pacha , to whom this note is addressed , is enjoined to sign , with the Sultan ' s consent and without delay , the convention of which a draft was put in by Prince Menzschikoff , under pain of the consequences which would ensue . To us , this reads like a direct , threat of prompt warfare beyond the occupation of the
Principalities . It is quite dear that Russia : does not seem to be drawn back ; and if not , what is the minimum with which she will be contented ? It is a concession on the part of Turkey of a distinct authority for Russia in the internal government of the Porte . ' It is not to , be expected that Turkey would or ought to concede that point ; but as the other powers of Europe really hold the balance in their hands , and aa disturbance would
be greatly against their interests , we should not be surprised if they used some arts to make Russia slightly modify her language in appearance ; Turkey slightly to yield her resistance , even' more perhaps in fact than in appearance . Thus they might get the quarrel hushed up , deferring as long as possible a day of reckoning for Europe ; and giving Russia time still further to augment her enormous credit for that awful day . The result of the debate on the Indian
Government Bill fulfils , or rather transcends expectation The Indian Reformers , led by the stout arm of Bright , adorned * y the cultivated argument ; jt > f Blackett , reinforced by the young ambition of Stanley , aided by the manifest fallacies of Hogg , popularised by the familiar exposition of Cobden , had gained an unexpected share of public attention . Certain moderate Conservatives , such as Herries
and Inglis , deserted , ; but Disraeli attempted a vigorous rally for his young friend . An adverse majority was expected ; but not so terrible a one as the difference ibetween 322 and 140 . People are scandalised - at the incorrect assertions ; of the Reformers , and their erroneous arguments : we are more . struck with a political inexperience , which has permitted the Indian-Reformers to be used instead of using their , opportunity . - - But they still have the vocation before ; them of attempting to correct the glaring deficiencies of the Ministerial Bill .
The statement of the Duke of Newcastle , explaining the conditions on which Ministers will aid the bankrupt colony of Jamaica , if it will reform its financial ways , will be chiefly interesting to our readers for the announcement of ulterior measures —representative reform and " responsible government , " that is , the principle of selecting a Ministry possessing the confidence of the majority in the popular chamber . This would introduce into the West Indies political principles already recognised in the other" groups of colonies and working well .
In home affairs , the principal act has been the passing of the Income-tax Bill in the House of Lords , with a strong protest by Lord Brougham . The absence of the exrMinisterialistB from the debate , oh this last occasion , has been generally remarked . It is evident that something serious is amiss in the ranks of those who were recently Lord Derby ' s supporters , but the amount of the division does not yet appear . Lord Brougham ' scriticism on the bill , just in some general respects , did not at all contribute , to it * amendment . Thee moat valuable part of his speech * Wob that in which he showed how , in surrendering the debate upon
petitions , a great check against the arbitrary management of affairs , by official departments , had been given np . Last night , in committee , the House of Commons resolved , by 109 to 99 , riot to affirm Mr . Milner Gibson ' s proposal for repealing the whole duty on advertisements ; and then , at the instance of Mr . CraUfurd , having gained wisdom , by
parting with some of the diluting element , the House resolved , by 70 to 61 , that the duty on advertisements be " 0 . " " We give thee six-pence I" cries th $ < committee , to . the needy taxHooaker— " WeM see tW damned first ; " but Mr . Gladstone , if we understand the hint of reserving the report , intimates , in the most Jacobinical doggedness , that he will bring down some of his people , and make the committee yield .
Amongst the minor measures has been the second reading of a bill introduced by Mr . Vincent Scully , . with a very interesting object . It is intended to facilitate the transfer of land , in Ireland ; his purpose being to render land a saleable commodity—to introduce , as he expresses it , perfect Free-trade in the purchase of land . Our own opinion , that land ought not to be private property , is well known to our readers ; but this measure would give to land a merely chattel
tenure ; and , although it would render it more distinctly personal property than it has ever yet been , in this country , since the doubtful days of allodial tenure , it would , in fact , create a less exclusive appropriation than the present . Land , which can always , be : in the market , cannot possibly cling so tightly to individual appropriation as when it is hereditary , and restricted by many impediments to transfer . Mr , Scully ' s bill applies only to Ireland , because , as he said , he is only versed in Irish law , and would not venture to
meddle with English law , which he does not understand : an example of modesty , by which some members of Parliament might profit . The pr inciple , however , is just for England , and some day we shall probably see it in force amongst us , as the transition from the semi-barbarous wreck of feudal tenure , which now prevails , to a truly public tenure . Meanwhile it has been handed over
to a select committee , now sitting on the Lord Chancellor ' s Registration of Assurances' BiU—a feeble measure for the improvement of . land tenure , by getting a registration- title . It is understood that the appointment of the select committee is u polite method of-cushioning Lord Cranworth's Bill , by the side of which Mr . Scully ' s is to repope . Truly adversity brings together strange bedfellows ! There is , however , a resurrection for
