AN UNDERSTANDING WIET RUSSIA
By far the most signifiosat passage in Mr. Balfour's speech at Hristal yesterday font Fab ruary) was the invitation to Russia contained in these words
"I for my part frankly state that, 50 far, for exauple, from regarding with fear and julausy a commercial outlet for Rasks in the Pacific Omas which should not be ice-bound half the year, I should welcome such a result na a dist.
not advance in this far distant region, and I am convinced not merely that Russia would gain by it, that the world gonerally would gain by it, but that Britisis commerce and enterprise would be the gainer,”*-
There can be no doubt as to this sense which will be given to these words tiengbout Europe. Mr. Balfour, it will be said, the Jearior of the House of Commons, and one of the most important wombers of the Cabinot, bas plainly told Russia that a great change has come over The MANSFIELD CUr (resented); entration the sins of British policy.

THE ACCOMMODATION FOR NATIVE SEAMEN ON BRITISH SHIPS.
The following is an extract from the annual raport of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, presented at a musting held on the 17th February
|
This is a change indeed. It represents an yolution for which public opinion has been visibly preparing for koma ticis part. Stano is was to come however, since we were, to recon cile ourselves to giving up the affort, prolonged through several geporations, to oppose the na tural striving, of Russia towards the possessior. of an outlet to the wo, we could wish that it had been done more quickly, more canilidly, and Issa as if it word the only course left us after failure to carry out our earlier polier. For thors is ne denying that thor has beca defeat in the nEKTET field of our rivalry with Kussia. The language. of reprobation and warning which Mr. Balfour addressed to Turkey may be diesrved. Yet the errors of the Sultan's Government, the obstinaOY with which it has refused to set sincerely on good advice, cannot disguiso the fact that Russia has gained what she needs to put her in a position to secure the whole of her aims in the Levout at no very distant date, without us and oren against us. We have given the Turk to auderstand that he kas nothing to hope from us, but we have not told the Russian that we were ready to act with him. In his despera tion the Saltan las turned from the old friend. who will have nothing more to say to him, to the old onemy, who is at least, prepared not to est him at once. In return for a little present consideration the Bullon can hardly refuse his ERVAL. protector, the Cir, the nse of port in some couvenient place in Asis Minor. Thus Russia obtains a large in shulment of what she wants, and gote it without having any reasor for sayings Thank you" to . However much politicians may glaze it over, this is a defest for England. We have driven away the friendship of the Bul tan for the sake of those interesting Armenians, to whoni we have dous ne kad of good. In return we have not secured the co-operation of Busin, but have helped her to that control of Turkey for which sho has been striving for a contury and a half Mr. Balfour, in seat- teneo at which we are afraid the unregenerate foreigner will speer, hosted yesterday that the British Empire is not a selfish power. The Foreign Offices of Europe, looking at what has happoned in the Levant, may possibly be found to be of opinion that her generosity consists in submitting to so others take what she has thrown away by a series of banders, when sbe la no longer able to prevent them seizing it. By entoavouring to over the faols by fine profes sious of sentiment and unselfishness, we are more likely to confirm our friends in their belief of our inporrigible habit of casting than to con vert them to our estimate of curlsen,
Tudor auto of 8th January the Secretary to the Gororament of Bombay, Marine Depart ment, addressed the Chamber, forwarding copy of a dospatch from the Seoratery of State for India, No. 152 (Revenue), of 1st November, 1804, and of its anclosures, relative to the inadequacy of the accommodation allotted. tonatirs

As the mafter was one of great importance to all interested in shipping, and the propond amendment was likely to largely reduce the number of sutivo some employed, the Committee lost no time, in telegraphing to As the thing is to bo cous, however, and the Government of Indis asking that no anch there being apparently no longer any choice, alteration be passed until all interested bad the test enurse is to do it quickly and thorough. boon consulted and had an opportunity of subly.
