ty, consistently with her honor* to deny farther
material aid to the Turk.
But in cut England should withdraw, would
France alone persist in opposing Aussie?fight her
single-handed r It may be that she would. She
has an old grudge against the Russians. She has
not forgotten Moscow, und the terrible winter of
1812.
A war with Russia would doubtless be popular
with the French, or the mass of the nation. And
still there are many things against It. Louis Napoleon
is none too firmly seated on his throne,
and it is impossible to say what elements would be
called into play to render his position still more
precarious by war. Democracy is not dead in
France; and the old Bourbons are watching, like
so many harpies, for an opportunity to seize upon
what they consider their legitimate prey. And
they have the sympathy and good wishes, and, in
case of any favorable chance, would no doubt have
the aid oftlie legitimate despots ofall .Europe. Would
not even England?her government, if not her
people?look contentedly on, though they might
not take an active part in restoring the Bourbons?
It is quite certain that the French Emperor lias 110
foreign friends to rely upon. He is a parvenu?
an audacious intruder upon the sacred ground of
legitimacy?a roliel against the divine right of
kings. He may therefore look upon discretion,
unaer present circuinsiances, us me ricuer pari or
valor lor bis own mike.
, Besides, though war might be popular with the
masses, it would be very unpopular with numerous
and very influential classes in Franco. It wan
the moneyed interest, the property holders, who
were largely instrumental in putting down the
revolution, and in elevating Louis Napoleon to
the throne, lor the sake of domestic peace and the
security of their possessions. They are even eontent
to see their country enslaved to ert'ect this.
Now the good will of this powerful class is vitally
important to the Emperor, and he would not willingly
disaffect them. But war, with its burdens,
its disorders, and uncertainties, would be highly
injurious if not ruinous to them. There are also
!;reat industrial interests in France, as iu Engand,
that would be disturbed and jeoparded by
war.
Still, it is possible that Louis Napoleon may
decide upon war. The army would like it, and
probably the majority of the French, if only to
gratify their hatred of Russia, and to avenge their
great Emperor. But Franco is so separated from
Russia, that with her armies she could do but
little against her. We have supposed, however,
that Austria would nrobablv be the allv of Russia
in her crusade against Turkey. In that caso sho
would of course become the enemy of France; and
France would then have work enough on hand
for herself to do. She would be brought in direct
contact with her foes in Italy and beyond *he
Rhine. But could Prussia, and the other (German
powers, remain neutral in such a war ? It
would seem scarcely possible that they should.
Here, then, we should have a general war. But
what sort of a war ? The combination against
France, so far as the governments are concerned,
would be overwhelming. But there are the people?the
disaffected people?smarting under the
recollection of their disappointed hopes, the tyranny
of their rulers, and only waiting their chance
once more to rise against them. Here is an element
which France might turn to terrible account.
Availing herself of this, crushing as the coalition
J would seem to be against her, sho might even turn
the scales in her own favor.
But would Louis Napoleon, after treading out
the last sparks of freedom in his own country, consent
to light the flames of revolution all around
him? I take him to be a thoroughly selfish man,
ready to do any thing for his own advantage?
that his first and chief principlo is, to serve himself.
He has shown that he can be all things to
all men, as suits his ends. Besides, necessity has
no law, and, pressed by the multitude of his enemies,
he might feel obliged to take advantage of
everything that would help him. Should he call
the revolutionary spirit to his aid, wake up insurrection,
and let loose upon Europe all the wild
passions, now kept down only by forcible suppression,
who can foresee the result' It would be a
state of things tQ make us all stand aghast. I
dare not contemplate it.
But I have already extended my speculations
beyond what I had intended. The sum of my belief
is this?that the Czar, whatevor may be his
professions, intends, if he can, to conquer European
Turkey, and hold it. That Austria will be
his ally in this war?or, at least, will not oppose
him. That Prussia will be neutral, unless Austria
should join Russia, and thereby become the
enemy of trance, in which case, with the other
German States, she will side with Austria and
Itiiwttin n irninst France. That Enfrland is so wed
ded to peace, by its importance to her, that she
wiJl, if it be possible, keep at peace, and that she
will probably find means of doing it. That
France also, or rather Louis Napoleon, has strong
reasons to avoid war, but is more likely than England
to be drawn into it; and that, if he should he
so, all the consequences that we have suggested
of such a step will very probably follow.
These are bold speculations, I am awaro. I
make no pretensions to be a prophet in these
matters or in any other. We know with certainty
but little of the future, and it is well, on
many accounts, that we should not. We arc all
interested in future events, however, and naturally
led to speculate upon them. It appears to
me that an important crisis in the affairs of the
t world is approaching, and I have thought something
of it, and have endeavored to form the best
opinion thatl could; still but little of what I have
anticipated as probable may take! place; and much,
if not most of it, I pray may not. It is impossible
for us to say what in the present condition of the
world would eventually be best for it. Its affairs
< are certainly in a strange state, and cannot, it
f would seem, remain so. What changes may take
; place we can only conjecture. But Clod reigneth,
and there is great comfort in knowing this. "The
wrath of man He rnakcth to praise Him, and the
remainder of wrath He will restrain."
There is one thing which, from the present aspect
of affairs, appears probable?and that is,
that the Sultan, deserted by his foreign supporters,
will feel himself compelled to yield, granting substantially
at least all that Nicholas demands, humiliating
as this would be. Single and alone, it
were vain for him to contend with Russia, and he
knows it. Should he thus yield, the Czar would
be left, without any ground whatever, other than
his own ambition, for further hostile acts. Still,
having entered upon the war, and all his preparations
tor its viirnroim nrnseciitinn beinir made, it
would not bo very strange if he should determine j
to go on. The very weakness of the Turk, stripped
of his allies, would ho a strong temptation?
and some justifying protencc, weak and miserable
though it might be, could probably be found. It
often, unhappily, takes but little in such cases to
quiet imperial consciences.
Should tho Sultan succumb, however, it seems
to be most probable that. Nicholas will, if only for
appearance sake, which he may not deem it politic
wholly to disregard, stop short whore he is?that
is, content himself, for the. present, with what he
has already gained?possession of tho Danubian
provinces. Something favoring his ulterior designs
may soon turn up, and ho may think it most
politic to await the chapter of accidents before furthor
action. Thus he may postpone his designs
without abnndonding them?continuing to maintain
his vantage ground in the occupation of Moldavia
and Wallachia. W. P. P.

Baltimore, August 1, 1853.
The third annual commencement of the Baltimore
Public High School took place this morning
at the Front Street Theatre in presence pf an
overflowing and brilliant assemblage, tour-fifths of
whom were ladies. The graduates acquitted
themselves most admirably, comparing favorably
with those of the recent college commencements,
showing the extent to which public school education
under a judicious Hystem can be carried.
Governor Lowe was present and delivered the
diplomas to the students, addressing them most
appropriately and eloquently. Brantz Mayer also
delivered an address replete with scholastic knowledge
and practical experience, embracing much
useful advice to those about crossing the threshold
of busy life.

LOCAL MATTER*.
Sentence ok the Arson Convicts.?John F.
Wert and Jack Shepperd, the two free negro bo vs,
who some time since were convicted?in two cases
each?of netting fire to and burning certain dwelling-houses
in the Northern Liberties, were brought
over fVom the jail for sentence. His honor Judge
Crawlbrd addressed the prisoners with great propriety
upon the enormity of the offence of which
they stood convicted, and administered to tnem,
ah well lib to their friends and comrades, much,
wholesome advice and direction. And then, by
way of impressing upon all persons the rigor with
which tho court would punish the crime of arson,
his houor sentenced the prisoners each to six years'
confinement in the penitentiary in each case?
making an imprisonment of twelve years for each
prisoner.
It is to be hoped this severity on the part of the
court will have a salutary ett'ect upon all those
who are disposed to perpetrate the cowardly and
infamous crime of arson; but it is also to be hoped
that though these convicts may be negroes, those
who may hereafter be arraigned for similar crimes,
whatever their compicxion or social position, may
receive, as these offenders have, a fair trial, uninfluenced
by any false or mawkish sympathies,
which too often, without being intended, renders
powerless, if it does not. altogether defeat, tho exertions
of the oflieers of the law. Let it he known
far and wide that whoever in this community iB
guilty of arson is to be punished, and with severity,
and the crime will become as rare as it should be.
Dorothea Gingbnbaugh, an aged lady of German
birth, was tried for keeping a disorderly
house. Tho witnesses, who were mostly all Germans,
not being able to agree upon any fixed
facts, the jury doubted, and the old lady was allowed
to go free.
William Wheat, an aged gentleman, was put
innr. !,,U 4rin 1 fur nam,ultinir i, Mr Smitli. wlwi in
"1'"" """ "" b - * ~ ?
nearly of his own age. The case was not concluded
when the court adjourned.
The Case of James W. Schaumbehg.?Mr.
Baxter and Mr. Key, of counsel for James W.
Schauinberg, yesterday appeared before the criminal
court and stated their inability to procure tho
attendance of Doctor Spence, an important witness
for the defence, and the uncertainty of tiino
when he could be found; they therefore asked a
continuance of the case. After some argument,
in which it was shown that tho defence had used
every exertion to procure the attendance of the
witness, the case was continued till the next (December)
term of the court.
Metropolitan Railroad Company.?The directors
have unanimously elected Francis Dodge,
esq., of Georgetown, president of the company.
The annual salary is eighteen hundred dollars.
Mr. James Walker, tho particulars of whoso
death by drowning on Saturday last, ten miles
from Baltimore, were given in the papers of that
city yesterday morning, was favorably known to
the typographical fraternity of Washington, having
been employed in one of our printing establishments
before his removal to Baltimore, where
he was a compositor in the Sun office. Of a social,
honest, frank, generous character?truly a
man?many a heart in this vicinity was made sad,
and many an eye suffused with tears, on the reception
of the mournful intelligence.
Manufacturing "Passes."?By a law of the
Corporation, no negro or mulatto is privileged to
be in tho streets after ten o'clock at nighty unless
provided with a "pass from some responsible
white person. But as the "colored peoplo" have
day as well as Sunday schools, they are getting
into the way of writing their own "passes," and
other papers, and may soon be independent of
their Caucasian neighbors in this particular.
A dandy negro, a barber, was detected on Sunday
night in his fraud, having produced a paper
to "pass him from Capitol Hill to his shop." The
Auxiliary Guard, perceiving that the document
was out of date by two weeks, brought "the artist"
to the watch-house; and having been lodged
over night, he was confronted with Captain Birch
yesterday morning. He told a number of falsehoods
concerning the paper, and it was not until
a witness had testified, under oath, that the facts
were elicited. He had, it appeared, asked a matronly
colored woman for the use of her name to
the "pass," which she granted, "if it would be
of any use to him." So the barber wrote the
pass, and in a very neat hand too, spelling the
words correctly besides.
Tho offender was fined, and then suffered to depart,
with an admonition of his fiito should he
again be found offending in a like manner.
The Death Penai.ty.?Several of "the oldest
inhabitants" inform us that since Washington has
been tho seat of the General Government there
have been but two public executions in this city,
and these took place so long ago they cannot remember
tho periods. In anticipation of the death
by hanging of an individual, (whose sentence was,
howover, commuted to imprisonment for life in
tho District penitentiary,) Congress about seven
months ago passed an act providing that any
person under sentence of death within the District
of Columbia shall be privately executed within
tho walls of some prison, or within the enclosure
adjoining, and not elsewhere; the marshal, or one
of his deputies, with such officers of the prison,
constables, or other peaco officers as the marshal
may doem necessary and proper,.to attend at each
execution. The marshal or his deputy is required
to invite the District Attorney and the counsel of
the prisoner, two or more physicians, and twelve
respectable citizens, and shall allow any ministers
of the Gospel, not more than three in number,
and any of the prisoner's near relatives, to be
present, but no others in the act not mentioned;
and no person under the age of twenty-one years
is to be allowed to attend at such execution.
beggars.?a good many ot tlicm arc now circulating
throughout the city, some of whom appear
to be roal objects of charity; but all of them
are rather shy of the police, whose business it is
to arre st them as vagrants.
The Drama.?It will be seen, by reference to
our advertising columns, that the play of "The
Stranger" will bo performed this evening at
Forest Hall, Georgetown; Mr. W. M. Foster
sustaining the leading part, and his wife the character
of Charlotte; and Miss Kate Reignolds appearing
as Mrs. llaller, and Mrs. Carpenter as the
Countoss. Such a cast, to which is added the full
strongth of the Association in the dramatis prisoner,
must prove attractive to the lovers of theatricals.
A dramatic entertainment will be given by Mr.
James Sheriff at Carusi's Saloon on Thursday
evening, assisted by Mr. W. Cullen, on which occasion
Miss Jnlia Renwicks will bo introduced to
the citizens of Washington
Watch Rr.rriiNs.?During the month of July
there were one hundred and sixty inmates of the
central watch-house. Of these seventy wore
miiUL jLji L.iM 11 . M"i L
! white Americans, thirty-five natives of Ireland,
fifty-one free negroes, and four slaves. Twenty
of the entire number came in for lodgings?poor
unfortunate creatures, whose lips were not attuned
to the melody of "Home, sweet Home " Threefourths
of the others were arrested for drunkenness,
and riotous and disorderly conduct. !
The Auxiliary Guard have shown much industry
in their vocation, as the above statement ex- <
hibits. There are "lock-ups" in the western and 1
eastern sections, and it may be presumed that the
entire number of arrests during the past month,
throughout the city, amounts to upwards of two
hundred.
Captain Birch, at the head of the Auxiliary (
Guard, has thus far proved himself to be an effi- <
cient and courteous officer; attending day and
night to the onerous duties which his position in- i
volves.
"Tin. City Fathers."?There is but one of
the "City Fathers" older than the city itself,
dating from the first act of incorporation, in lBthJ.
As he is a gay, sprightly bachelor, and yet m lhs
prune, we cannot take the liberty ot mentioning
his name.

it. The newspapers are the best mediums lor advertising.
