      To Our Readers And Subscribers. A Fire T...

      TO OUR READERS AND SUBSCRIBERS . A FIRE that destroyed the Office in which our A Journal was printed , explains the ; unusual appearance presented to our readers this \ veek . The disaster happened early yesterday morning-rwithin twenty-four hours' of our going to press ; and the work of the week , iti-the printing-office , has had to be accomplished in , less than a . fc . We are sure that not a word needs be added to obtain for any imperfections that may appear in the present number the indulgence of our readers .

      It would indeed have been difjbult for us to appear at ' all , " if the disaster had not been for us an opportunity of testing the kindness and zeal of our friends . ' With a promptitude beyond mere trading considerations , our printers exerted themselves to prevent their calamity from becoming ours , and they have . Been admirably seconded by their men . The same zeal in other departments , animated by a hearty spirit of co-operation , has resulted in a combined effort , which compressed

      the labour of days into one . . But our acknowledgments are most especially due to the Proprietor and the Editor of the Weekly News , who at once placed the news proofs of that journal completely at our disposal ; and if the discovery of copy happily rescued from the flumes , of stray proofs , and of papers surviving in the short-hand , coupled with the reproduction of others totally lost , has enabled us to avoid encroaching far , on the matter prepared for the columns of our contemporary , the unreserved generosity of . the assistance tendered instantaneously does not merit less ample gratitude .

      We are confident that we shall not meet from our reuclers a less indulgent kindness than we have met on all hands tinder this sudden and severe calamity .

      Several Opportunities Havo' . Occurred, ...

      SEVERAL opportunities havo ' . occurred , by which , if they pleased , 'Ministers might havo mado the public understand the- actual position of affairs at Constantinople ; but the evident 'desire ia to render as' nioagro an > account as . possible , and to pioYent the public from knowing more than it is absolutely im-I > ossiMo to conceal . The reason may bo that

      Ministers have very small intentions . " England , " says Mr . Urcmhart , and it is truo , althoug h Mr . Urquhart says it , " has immonso power , and no policy ; and her Ministers shrink from using her power , and'dread the responsibilit y of supplying her witlra policy . " And it may bo that their groatost anxioty is to conceal the fact , that there is nothing to

      conceal . "He wishes to seem poor , " ' -flays Mar . r tial . of the unhappy gentleman who affects poverty , 'fand } he | w . poor . ' * If has been industriously represented , that the ships sent io Constantinople from the ooinbitisd fleet at Besika bay are not half-a-dozen , but only four ; and that they are sent either to protect the SuJtan ^ ag ^ ainstlHS , subjects , or the British and French subjects against outrage , or the Christians against the Mussulman population , ' which was expected to be very fanatical and furious , on the occasion of the Bairam .. . Certain students had been ardent in the manifestation

      of ' their Mussulman orthodoxy , and in j > etitioning for war ; that , is the whole ground of the report , that tho Mussulmans were about to revolt and depose the Sultan , in favour of his brother , the stirring Abd-ul-Assez . It has been discovered that the advance of four ships , although they are not six , and although they are not followed by the allied fleet , is regarded in Europe to havo in reality a more energetic purpose , although they wore only

      advanced to protect Christians , or some other limited interest . Europe cannot believe that England did not intend to signify that she would stand by her ally ; and the consequence is , that Europe gives England credit for an energy which hor Ministers did not intend . She is decisive by mischance , and has the advantages of decision by misadventure . —

      Writers who encourage an unnational spirit in tho government and the people , exult over this good luck , which brings us the results of energy without the responsibilities ; and , it is ' said , that whatever may have been the motive , ill' Bonding tho four ships , tho result will bo' to oxpodito negotiations and facilitate a conclusion . *

      Certain of our Ministers havo been arrested in their autumnal tours by the ambitious town councillors , who pursue them with freedom of city or burgh , and with optimist addresses imputing to them tho most patriotic principles at home , and Cromwollian vigour abroad . It was expoctcd probably , that by this eulogistic

      strain upon Ministers they might bo coerced into accepting the praise , and in tho acceptance havo at least implied somo Hpecion of announcement on tho subject of tho day . No such hick , ! At Perth , Dingwall , and Inverness , > 'Mr : » Gladstone oxpatiates on froo-trado ; on the'Superseding of party by a oombinod Ministry , and the calm condition qf this

      country ; on the general duty of England- to protect the weak , who have not the power to protect themseflves , but not a hint can hearer or reader gather from Mr . Gladstone ' s speech as -to } vhj | t : Ministers are actually doing . He says , indeed , that Lord Aberdeen will always be found ta have preserved peace , so far as it is consistent with honour ; a general compliment which might be meant as much to pat Lord Aberdeen on the back as to inform

      the' public . At Perth and Glasgow , the sturdy Scotch caught Lord Palmerston , but caught him of course not sleeping ; for nevor was there a Minister more wide awake . He replied in his usual unstudied manner , for a man of more unstudied eloquence never was found ; and yet never was there a speaker who more perfectly knew all ' that passed his lips , all that remained within his teeth , and the effect of what ho withheld as well as Avhat he said . He expatiated with the utmost frankness on such subjects na

      Thames improvement ; he put no reserve upon his discussion of foreign polities—at the time when he was Foreign Minister ; and his audience must have gone away with tho idea that somo how Lord Palmerston had said something on the state of foreign affairs ; and yet wo defy them , or any reader of his speeches , to discover the faintest allusion to that subject which is exciting tho most interest , and in which he is the most versed . At Cork tho ardent Irish caught tho First

      Lord of tho Admiralty and his secretary , the , out-spoken Sir Jamos Graham and clodashing and ingenious Ralph Osborn ; but not a word could thov get from oithor as to instructions given to tho fleet in Besika Bay or the ships in tho Golden Horn . Lord Palmor-Btoii compliments Lord Clarendon , the Foreign Ministorwith all tho diligonco of a teacher

      , bringing forward a timid pupil- H « wncafcB of him as an . ' intelligent horseman addresses a timid horse , ' patting him on tho back and coaxing him . ' All that one can gather from these ministerial ' allusions only ¦ aorves to deepen tho ' obscurity which at -present hangs over tho position of Ministore in the tteld ok their most immediate action .

      Tho Emporor of ttuKsia and the Emperor of Austria havo met' at Olmiitz . Nor arc they alone ; Lord Westmoreland has gone there in his capacity of knight in somo Austrian order ; and those statoainou have , ftl « q aawmblod tq
