Second thought sobers English political writers. They look backwards, ashamed of their escapades during the war-like fever of the Crimean campaign. They now heartily disown all the absurdities which wore so unanimously pOured out by all the various organs of the press, by politicians, by public opinion, and by blundering statesmen who sti mulated it. Such an example is to be found in the October issue of the Westminifer Re view. All the fuss of that epoch about the defence of, liberty, about high statesmanship in propping np Turkey, &c., is now covered with hearty ridicule. Sir llsmtvroll SEYMOUR, the savior of the "sick man," the discoverer of the monstrous Ahab coveting the vineyard of another Naboth, is put up as a wretched blunderer. The Turks are no more considered as bearers of European civilization, nor the Circassians—those traffickers of their children to Turkish lust—as champions of liberty. In. stead of all this trash, the writer of the Review submits considerations of a now more elevated, humane policy, more civilizing and world-em bracing than has hitherto been mooted by any statesman, historian, or political writer, of whatever school or nation of Europe. After establishing that nothing was gained by the war for• liberty, or for European nation alities, and showing that Russia is again the leading power of Europe, for the natural rea son that restrictions imposed by treaties—as experience of centuries shows—are power less, on the long rim, against the normal life and expansion of powerful nations, the Re view embraces thq whole globe. The control of the future fortunes of mankind, ultimate empire over them, lies between Franco, Rus sia, the United States, and England. In this view, the Asiatic question, containing the Turkish question, is wide as the world. From Pekin to Constantinople all is absolute social desolation. Oriental Governments, Oriental society, Oriental religions are giving way from internal weakness and pressure from without, and have no shadow of a principle of internal organic life. In a few more years the ruin will bo com plete. Not so long ago the Russian Empire in Asia was the bunting-ground of Nomad tribes, of hereditary robbers. Now the great est part of it is drilled into quiet, and industry, roads cross it, cities rise, properly and life are secure over it. What England door or did in India, Russia accomplishes more thorough ly from the Pole to the Tigris. Annexation is no oriole when it is the substitution of a just' and vigorous Government for a wicked and worthless one. It is for the most part true, that wherever England, France, Ruisia, and the United States, have sot their foot, they have taken with them something better than they have supplanted, and the further they can go in the same course the bettor for man kind. The French occupation in Algeria is, in itself, a good thing. Quiet people can till the ground there, without fear of marauding Arabs. Honest merchants can trade without fear for the pirate's flag. England has no Wird- nos to prevent the French to spread all over the African shores of the Mediterranean, to curb the pretended aggressions of the Musco vite in the East, or to check the growth of the United States and their organizing protecto rate over Mexico and Central America. If Asia Minor, or Mexico and Central Ame rica, were governed as Georgia is, or as the French goveru Algeria, the cities with which once Asia Minor was covered might rise again from their ruins, and become once more the grandeur of the world. California, as a Mexican province, was the hunting ground of Indians; now it is the cynosure of tine world. Americans alone can put an end to the chaos prevailing all over New Spain. With Ameri cans in possession of it, property would risop industry flourish, and laws have a meaning. The work which events inaugurated will be pursued. The Asiatic independence which survives will narrow down, grow feebler, and at last die. The genius of France will follow the shores of the Mediterranean ; the' lino of kingdoms in Asia, dividing the empires of England and Russia, will grow thinner, till their frontiers touch. In spite of Clayton- Bulwer treaties, and Dallas-Clarendon in terpretation of them, the United States will stretch their power over farther South. The falling Republics of Central America will not for ever be a temptation, by their weakness, to the attacks of lawless ruffians. Revolution will cease to tear the empire of Montezuma. The valley of the mighty Amazon must fall at least to those who will force it to yield its treasure. The ships which carry the com merce of America into the Pacific also carry American justice, with American cannon as the preachers of it. The real interests of the four controlling powers named above are identical. All of them organize for improvement, wherever they extend. All of them desire that the Chinese shall enter the society of nations. The half-civilized nations of Asia, and of New Spain, ere encouraged by the rivalries of the great four Powers. If a pressure bo laid on them by ono of the great Powers, they un derstand that they may look with confidence to the support of the others. Let thou he informed that henceforward they shall en courage no such hope. The four Powers ought to unite in a common engagement for a generous purpose, embracing the destinies of the whole race. Let them—as far as Europe is concerned—abstain from vexatious and imper tinent interference with one another in minor matters. COLLARS, &o Any future aggrandizement of one of the four Powers will not he opposed, but made with the consent of all others. No war is to be declared, no province annexed, without a conference and consultation. Constantinople, European Turkey, will fall by themselves to Russia. France may rule in Egypt and Syria ; and if the English should be obliged to seize and keep the province of Canton, the Americans Cuba and the Isthmus of Darien, these are natural exigencies and must he satisfied with out jealousy—without opposition. The four Powers might agree that these and other changes, when really reasonable, shall be per mitted and encouraged, so that they might be effected in a reasonable manner, all fair objec tions being fairly canvassed, considered, and answered. A fabric of policy, as well as of stone and plaster, stands more firmly on four pillars than on two or three. Those four pillars on which to raise a new-world policy are tho United States, Franco, England, Russia. Such an al liance would explicitly concern only their trans-European interests, not referring to international European questions—the partici pation of the United States therein giving the fullest guarantee to other European States un concerned in trans-European questions, that their liberties and independence no way should be thereby endangered. Such is a remind of the article in the Irestutisqer Re- For the first time we thus find our great na tional doctrine of manifest destiny broadly recognised and asserted in one of the most eminent English publications. And wo Con clude this 113111/le, using again the words of the Review, that the statesmen whose names might become connected with such a diplo matic revolution will take their place among tine immortal benefactors of mankind. Might not the Americans take the initiative 7 The burning of the steamer W. Edwards, near ALeaandria, LA., on the 12th inst., has boon noticed. She had on board 80 passengers and 100 bales of outton.

D. 14, Wilder lost near ANL Result of pith Action of the Naval Courts of Inquiry. (From the New York Herold of Tuesden Wo have niready published the result of the action of the three Naval Courts appointed to in• (juke into the decisions made by the Naval Retir ing Board in the eases of the captains, common. dors, lieutenants,' and other officers of the United States Navy, who were either retired on leave, on furlough, or who wore "dropped" altogether from the serviee. The sot limier which the Board was constituted became a law on the 28th of February, 1855, having on that date received the approval of the President, and on the 20th of Jane, the new naval inquisition, consisting of the following offi cers, went imto session : CAPTAINS. Wm. B. Shubriek, C. K. Stribling, Matthew O. Peyy, Abraham Bigelow, Charles McCauley. G. J. Pontlii,rgast, Samuel Barron ' Franklin .Bticliana!), Andrew 11. Foote, Samuel J. Du Pont. LIEUTZNA. , ITS. John S. Misaroon, Wan. L. Maury, Iticard L. Page, Jas. S. Biddle, bylvanus W. Code's. The Board remained in session from the 20th of June, 1855, the 26th of July of the PIALAO year, and in that time decided upon the cases of no less than two hundred and seventeen officers. A rice ealculation of the work performed duriug this ses sion shows that the Board gave an average of twelve Minutes and forty seconds to the ease of eaoh officer, furnishing one of the most remarkable cases of judicial expedition perhaps on record The summary action of this Naval Court—un encumbered as it was by the regular forms of trial, the summoning of witnesses or the rebutting evi dence of the parties tried, none of whom wore al lowed to appear or had any notice that they wore en seem trial—aroused a ettoag feeling of indig nation thanhout the country. The officers who had been retaovod from the active list presented memorials and petitions to Congress protesting against flit =Con of the Board, and demanding the appointment of a court of Inquiry to adjudicate upon their Moral eases. At the head of the list of complainants stood Commodore Stewart, or, as he is familiarly called, "Old Ironsides," who refused to permit W.. ease to go before a court of inquiry, but who detettnined on presenting it to Congress only. There were among the names a large number of others, who, by their . gallant services, had aoquir ed a high reputation in our naval annals, and who were Certainly entitled toe fair and open trial. AI ter duo consideration of their petitions, and in view of the justice of their demands. Congress passed an act for the appointment of a court of inquiry, which went into .tession on the 30th Of February, 15:,7. Two others were subse.quently app ointed, and it hae taken the three nearly the whole of the pro• sent year to investigate and adjudicate upon all the eases which wore disosed of by the Naval Ite• tit lug Board during the brief space of one month. The following tables give the result of their action in regard to the officers retired on leave, the ofli ears furloughed, and those who has o been dropped from the navy Oct altogether.

The Unterrllied Demuereale Previ of Ohio. The Western Democratic papers which resist the usurpation of his Majesty King Calhoun, and his squalid parliament over the people, have been stigmatised by the papers on the pension list at Washington city as being the Black Republicans. It may be seen how many Democratic papers of Ohio stand up tor popular sovereignty and refuse to leave the platform adopted at Cincinnati, by the list below. We publish it for two or throe reasons. One is, that they deserve honorable mention who oun neither bo threatened nor cajoled into surren dering the principles and the true interests of the Democratic party. Another is, that the lowa sentatives of Ohio in Congress may learn, beyond all peradventure, the sentiments of the Democracy of the Stale.

PLUNDERED TREASIrDIES.—Ono of the most active, "exalting causes" of the extensive spread of thu present revolt has no doubt boon the love of loot inherent to people of every clime and coun try in the world, and in particular to the natives of India. The plunder of the Uoverconent treasuries has been at least ono of the great incentives to popular outbreak wherever they have occurred Thin fast will be abundantly established by the ruinous list of treasuries plundered, whieb we sub join : Treasuries plundered in the North West Provinces—Allahabad, Agra,Allyghur, Ajmeer, Azimghur, Bandish, Baltoo.

Besides the above paupers, 828 wore in receipt of out-relief on Lady-day last. There is workhouse room in Ireland for 197.839 paupers. The gross total number of paupers relieved in England on the 25th of March last was 897,445, which number re fere to a population of 17,666,030, and excludes lunatic paupers and vagrant's relieved out of doors The total number of paupers relieved in Scotland on Lady-day last amounted to 92,213. General Piobert, of the artillery, and a mem. her of the Institute, has made a discovery by which the explosion of gunpowder in magazines may be prevented. It consists simply of mixing the gunpowder with coal dust. When the gun powder is required for use, it is only necessary to sift it; the coal dust falls through the sieve, and the gunpowder resumes its original qualities. The experiment has been tried on a largo scale with complete success. A magazine filled :with gun powder so mixed woe set on fire.

The Annual Appropriation to the Board of Guardians of the Poor.—During a discussion at the semi-monthly meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Poor, which was held on Monday afternoon, Mr. Brown. President of the Board, said: I. think that the members of the Board of Guardians of the Poor are far better acquainted with the actual necessities of the almshouse than some of the members of Councils, who have never yet been inside that institution." These remarks will be better understood when it is known that the Board, in its official capacity, petitioned Councils for a transfer of certain items of appropriation, to enable them to meat properly current expenses for the present year. No one who has ever been in the Blockley Almshouse will doubt that the usual annual expenditures should, of necesiity,aruonnt to a very considerable sum, and especially should this be the case at the present time when the population of the institu tion exceeds that of any former period. These transfers were made, but not as was desired by those whose position as guardians made them in timately acquainted with what was actually want ed. The remarks above quoted were used by Mr. Brown, white referring to the refusal on the part of Councils to accede to the requirement of the Board. The Bleckley Almshouse was never better man aged than at present. In all its numerous depart ments there is en admirable system of order and discipline, although the number of inmates is un preeedentedly largo. The appropriation to the Board of Guardians, for 1857, amounted, we be lieve, to $2,M,000 This sam was a considerable reduction on what was originally asked for. For 853, Councils propose to appropriate only $186,000, a reduction of $.40,000 on the amount of appropria tion for the present year. When it is remem bered that during the ensuing year we may expect to see the tilw.house crowded to its utmost capa city. and Ito expense!, consequently increased, we confess our inability to comprehend this action en the part of Councils. Ono inevitable result will ba to cripple the power fur good which the institution may possess. We believe, and not without reason, tbat corruption and fraud have manifested them selves at times in various public bodies; and yet ire have every confidence in the gentlemen who lime been elected by the peoplo to the respon sible positions of Guardians of the Poor, and who at present occupy , seats in that Board They are men well and favorably known in the community, whose character ranks far above any suspicion of map -practice in office. If they can not be trusted with the disposition of the money appropriated for the yearly expenses of the alms house, we would like to be informed, who is there that can° We earnestly trust that no false idea of economy will allow the almshouse to be without its proper support during the ensuing year, as there are too many poor and need, ones in our midst, whose wants must be attended to. Let a sum amply sufficient to meet the Weal necessities be appropriated by Councils, and we doubt not that the result will be tir more beneficial than any "haltsystem" of appropriation which can be possi bly suggested. Admitted to the Bar.—We have neglected hitherto to notice the fact that Colonel Joshua T. Owen, of the Twenty-second ward, has, on motion of Samuel H. Perkins, Esq . ., been admitted to the practice of law in the District Court, and the Court of Common Pleas. He wall bring to his new po sition the advantages of an eloquent voice, a well stored mind, and a gentlemanly and courteous de portment, that have already secured for him " troops of friends " Although a young men, Mr. Owen has rendered essential aid in local, State, and national campaigns, in which Democratic principles have received, his consistent and uncom promising support. As a member of the last City Councils he made his mark as one of the most flu ent and argumentative speakers in his Chamber, and none who are acquainted with him will for a moment question that be will be a distinguished member of the State Legislature. to which posi tion ho has been called by the votes of his Demo cratic fellow-citizens. Philadelphia More Company.—We have be fore mentioned the fact that the Philadelphia Hose Company were making arrangements to contract for the construction of a steam fire-engine on an improved plan, lAbial war to be incorporated with the department as at present existing. We learn. recently, that the contract fur construction has been made, and that the work is rapidly progress ing, and we doubt not but that In the course of a few weeks the apparatus will be ready for service. The proposition involved in the action of this com pany is worth more than all the suggestions put together whinh have hitherto been made in regard to the introduction of steam at fires, and under the auspices of one of our most aotive volunteer companies, the:o is not likely to be other than a most successful result consequent upon the enter prim Poultry Thicres.—Two young men, giving the names of James Philips and John Doyle, were arrested at an early hour yesterday morning, with a large quantity of poultry in their possession They wore taken into custody, and it was ascer tained that the poultry had been stolen from a wagon on Market street, opposite the Bull's Read tavern. About fifty dollars' worth of turkeys, geese, and chickens were stolen. One half of the poultry was sold to Peter Keating fur four dollars and is half The thieves were committed to answer by Alderman Eneu, yesterday afternoon, and beating was held in SSOO bait to answer the charge of receiving stolen property. These young men who adopted this mode of preparation for a proper observance of Christmas will, doubtless.,. spend that day in a different manner from what they expected Mill of Policemen.—Under the urderi of Mayor Viler, a large number of the policemen of the Sixth and other police di3ricts wore drilled yesterday afternoon at the new Arsenal hi tiding, Sixteenth and Filbert streets. The drill occupied considerable time, and was quite interesting to witness. Those who participated in the drill were night policemen, whose hours in the day-time, when nut on actual duly, are devoted to sleep Apart from the consideration that a daily indul gence in these drills takes so many hours of need ful revise from men who are almost constantly employed, we may state that no better disciplined or more faithful men are to be found in the city than in the model sixth Police Dktrict, under I.ieut John lames and Seigeant4J Smith and A E Thome..

Be contracte d ' at a hotel, the printing ogees, the hall, As., and on the ap pointed evening for the entertanment received the money at the door, amounting to a considerable sum. Just before the boar for commencing the concert. he decamped with the funds, leaving the audience, numbering over three hundred. to amuse, themselves by waiting. Of oourse, no " Ringers" appeared, and after becoming aware of the deeep ion t he audience dispersed. Captain Ellis, of the ill-fated Opelousas, says, in a late card, that there was no need of a life being lost, as there was wreck enough to float five hundred people; but the men jumped over board in their fright_ Resew two men jump on the rails, draw their revolvers, and fire away.

Eltaksr.--James Eats, a well-built and trimly-Tined young sailor. was charged this morning with attempting to resent a prisoner and threatening a police officer, Officer S. testified that he had arrested one Michel Col lum, a lady of somewhat intemperate habits, on the charge of drunkenness and vagrancy. Ee was conducting her to the Mayor's office, when Me happened to meet with Barr. "Young nosn," said Rachel, with a look of tender appeal, to the sailor, "if you've got a soul above buttons, now's the time to show it by saving an onfortinit, persecooted young lady from this here cruel willain." Barr immediately stopped, and the officer, wba held Mica Colima by one arm, vainly endearored. to urge her forward. "You see," said she, addressing Barr, '• this is all the fault of my old, hard-hearted scoundrel of en uncle. I had a sweetheart once; he was a sailor, and just such another good-looking fellow as you are; but be died, and then I took a solemn oath never to get married. So this blasted old uncle wanted me to marry another feller, and juts: bekace I wouldn't, be turned me out of the house. I fainted on a cellar-I>a, and than this dratted old 31. P. pretended I was drunk, and now he's going to have me jagged " This touching recital kindled the sailor's indig nation. "Let the young woman go, yon lobberly swab," said be to the policeman; " let her go. or you'll pitch in among the breakers." Officer S. advised James to mind his 0411 busi ness—hut. cursing him for a land-shark, the latter endeavored to wrest Rachel from his grasp. and between the two, the lady was pretty roughly jerked about—her drapery was torn disastrously, and her crinoline was crushed out of all its fair proportions. Barr, to terminate this contest, aimed, a blow at the officer's " figurehead " wh,ch might haie knocked him into the lee scuppers bad it taken effect. But Officer S. dodged and thus saved, his intellectual casket from serious damage At this juncture, several other officers came to his assistance, and the chivalrous tar was soon se cured ; so that, if be did cot succeed in reaming Rachel, he became a partner in her tribulation. Mira Collura was committed under the vagrant act; but Barr, as be paid his fine, magnanimously declared that he was very willing to make so tri lling a !lull:0 in the cause of injured beauty.
