as the military officers in the ; Principalities ; six rnen deserted . They were pursued , overtaken at Guildfbrd , and , by the aid of an English police officer , captured . A writ of habeas corpus was taken out ; but neither the-Russian nor the \ Englisli officers would receive it ! Ministerial organs represent that the , "Russians owe noi alt legiance to our civil laws ; that tlifcr naval Iaw 3 of any country remain in force on Ihe decks of its own warship ; and that a treaty with Russia hinds this country to aid in securing ileserters . ^ The , - reply is , that the sailors were at the time , on hoard the JBritisk hulk Victorious—lent by official courtesy to the " spies ! " and that while the custody of the men may have been correct ,, it
would have been proper to show as much in court , on answering to the writ . A judge ' s warrant was issued to back the writ , but the Russian ship had suddenly sailed ; leaving our Ministers to explain how they winked at this evasion of our great constitutional prerogative , and admitted spies into Portsmouth dockyard . By this time , no doubt , pace Sir James Graham , of Bandiera celebrity , those poor serfs have found freedom at the yard-arm . Our glory it is to know that a British ship has been converted by the Admiralty into a slaughterhouse , for the brutal satisfaction of Russian spies .
In the meanwhile our G-overnment at home is busied chiefly by some of the smaller affairs which pester official men . Lord . Palmerston lias been particularly the object of attack . He is assailed by deputations , correspondence * , and newspaper discussions . A deputation waits upon him to complain that the police . in Dublin will not allow the Society for Church Missions to the Roman Catholics to put' up controversial placards and thrust controversial
hills into the hands of passengers in Dublin . The case was a very absurd one . The society illustrates its Christianity by public discussions between Protestants and Catholics , conducted , we are assured , in a spirit of kindliness and good humour . In order to attract attention the society announces sermons and discussions , and subjoins a few questions from the Douay version of the Scriptures . Now these questions from the Roman Catholic translation of the Bible
must be intended to perplex , and , therefore , to offend , honest Catholics . One of the bills similar to the placards , was lately thrust into the hands of a lady walking with a feoman Catholic gentleman , who presently turned back , and . took the bill-distributor to the police-court , on a chargo of " assault , " the assault being constructively , got out of the presentation of an " insulting" handbill . The magistrate agreed with the prosecutor ' s , view of the assault , and fined the bill distributor . The society , we suppose , paid his flue ; and at all
events comes tip to London to invoke the interference of Lord Palmerston . The Home Secretary is invited to teach Dublin police how far it may permit the circulation of offensive handbills ; and Lord Palmerston promises to inquire . Another deputation , from Lambeth , asked him to sanction parish Boards for drainage purposes ; and although he declined to assist Lori ( Ion' in breaking itself to pieces , where union itself is necessary , he renewed his prqmisc of a , repro-, scntativo machinery for such purposes . Another subject of assault imon the Home Secretary is the supposed discontinuance of the
Queen ' s letters , annually issued to the Established Clergy on behalf of the National , Society and the Society for the Propagation of the . Gospel in foreign parts . The letters , howover , » re not to bo discontinued this year ; but it iH insinuated that they will l > o repented no more . Tbo Low Church papers are delighted with this blow at the Tractarian party , which the two societies are HUpposed to represent . And not withxmt rcaHon ,
