WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1857
MANIFEST DESTINY AND THE FOUR
GREAT EMPIRES.
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

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 :

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 asterisks show
those who have been restored to the active list, the
daggertittose who hare been removed from the
furlough list and retired ou leave, the double dag
ger those who have been reinstated from the list
of dropped and put on furlough, while the section
indicates those in whose 08+43 the findings have

tribunal, one hundred and nine officers have been

Those who have been placed en the active list

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

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

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. "No explosion
took place," says the Mon tt.ur de l'Arnier
"The gunpowder burned like other combustible
matters, such as pitch or tar, and the fire was ex
anguished with common pumps "

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

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

[Reported for The. Prong I
A NArTICAL KNI011? 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
