WHATEVER may be thought of the Ministerial policy in the affAirs of Denmark, or the recent vote of the House of Commons, or the policy which that vote has been popularly supposed to prescribe to the Government, the intelligence which has con verged upon us for the last fortnight from all parts of the world may make us thankful that we have not a European war on our hands. We are only beginning to understand the requirements of the war in New Zealand. It now appears that at the vary time when the hopeful PREMIER was announcing to the House of Commons that that war might be considered at an end, and that in consequence an unexpended balance might be surrendered for the autumnal amusements of the country gentlemen, the resistance of the Maories was becoming more formidable than ever. So far from being able to withdraw regiments from New Zealand, it is • question whether it will not be necessary to reinforce General CAMERON ; or rather it would be a qua tion, if public opinion bad not already been une quivocally manifested in opposition to the policy hitherto pursued. For the present, however, New Zealand finds occupation for a British force of 10,000 men. The Ashantee war has been stopped, thanks to the vigilance of the press, though not until precious lives have fallen a semi- I See to the natural desire of a Colonial Governor to magnify his othee. But it has no sooner been ex tinguished than we hear rumours of other " little " wars," both in Africa and the remote East. We hope that the recent intelligence re ceived by Sir Piaui. WODEHOUBE, the Governor of the Caps Colony, from the frontier will be confirmed, and that there will be peace with the Kaffirs. But the precautions taken by the mili tary authorities, the regiments moved to the front, and those retained there, show that the dis appointment of these hopes is • contingency to be provided for. And simultaneously with this news we hear that Sir RUTHERFORD ALCOCK, our Minister in Japan, has made use of the powers entrusted to him, and sent a requisition to Hong-Kong for the trocrA which were sent out last year in order to be at his disposal. These tidings reach us just as the country is about to lose that constitutional control over the affairs of the Empire which it exercises through its representatives. It has been customary of late years to underrate that restraint, and pretend that it has been super seded by other and better organciations of opinion ; but after what we have seen during the last two months, the special, peculiar, and inalienable power of Parliament to give character to the policy of the country must be fully acknowledged. And we cannot but regret that the House of Com mons, which has effectively vetoed the employment of the national forces in Danmark, will not be for the next six months in a position to watch over and repel the tendency of certain members of the Government to encourage war in Asia. The Colo nial Office will no doubt take pains to keep the peace at the Cape, for Mr. CARDWELL must find in the New Zealand war occupation enough for his energies. But the expedition to Japan is of a more dangerous character, having been deliberately planned at home as a part of Lord PALMER.STON'S cherished systero of policy in the farther East. Before it separates, the House of Commons should insist upon knowing ou what enterprise Ministers are embarking the country iu Japan--what are its objects, means, limitations, and ends. It is not at a time when we are compelled to abandon our Euro ropean allies, and acknowledgeourselvescyphers in Europe, that a Minister shonld be allowed to pledge the strength of the nation to the prosecution of • distant military adventnre, of which no one but himself knows the aim or the cause. 'WHATEVER may be said of the qualifications of the Earl of DERBY'S party for governing the country, magnanimity in misfortune is certainly not one of them. No party ever bore the miachances of political warfare with so ill a grace ; and those who cannot preserve an equal temper and an external decorum under their own reverses are not fit to be en trusted with the cure of an empire. Ever since the memorable morning of the 9th inst., when the Great Conservative Party in the House of Com mons rose from the benches where for awhile Waist mute and motionless in its ranks, con founded to stupor and scarcely hearing the cheers of the exulting enemy, it has betrayed an amount of irritability strangely at variance with its high pretensions. The mysterious Conservative reac tion, long the theme of prophecy and parable, is now open to common ohaervation, and proves to be a purely intestine movement, a domestic re volt not a national conversion, immensely interest ing to Mr. Di •itaxi.i, hat of no importance to the public at large. It is a reaction against Colonel TAYLOR'S whip. The disorganization of the party is seen in nothing more clearly than in the unexampled license of attack and imputation in which its public writers have indulged against those Conservatives whom the public has the least difficulty in respecting, but who were too THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 22, independent to march with the Port's brass band. Mr. Dorrox, a county 'comber, is fienounced as • spy and • traitor. That admirahL English gentleman, Mr. NEWDEGATZ, whose onsiervatism is always bottomed on worthy principles, has been the object of unmeasured vituperation, and driven to defend himself in columns latety rank with the letters of MANHATTAN. The Sisters, too, have been told by writers who pretend an extraor dinary devotion to the Church, that even before the late division their "elasticity of conscience" was a proverb and a byword. Thus the demonstrated inability of Lord Starr and Mr. Dissszu to com bine the acknowledged conservative forces of the State, and wield them for the advantage of their followers, instead of being accepted as a lesson for future profit, has thrown the public apologists of the party into a transport of rage, in which they have assailed better conservatives than themselves. If this is the way in which the leaders of the Country Party manage their own affairs, it is not surprising that those who know them best are unwilling to trust them with the affairs of the empire. The same undisciplined spirit which for thelast fortnight has raged in the daily Tory press breaks forth in a quarter where reckless violence is less sur prising than it would have been • few years ago, before the most extravagant and reactionary of Lord Drawee parliamentary followers began to dabble in political literature. The Quarterly &rine for July, in an article, the first part of which, apparently written before the recent division, is devoted to • glorification of the House of Commons which has extinguished Reform and confirmed Church-rates, brings against the House towards the end of the same article accusations of the most damning character on account of the success of Mr. Kisoiraz's motion. Accord ing to the Quarterly, in its writer's first mood, the present House of Commons will pass from existence with • fair title to the gratitude of Englishmen, because "it has done that which is " most difficult and most salutary to do—nothing." It appears, however, as the writer receives intelli gence of the defeat of Mr. DISRAELI'S motion, and passes into his second mood, that this model assem bly, this Chamber which was so recently an example to the Parliaments of Europe, is capable of the worst baseness, and obnoxious to the most odious charges. The Quarterly holds, with Mr. DISRAELI, that the passing of the recent vote of censure was of the utmost consequence to the honour of the country. The effect of rejecting it must be not only to make the supervision of the House of Commons illusory, but to show that that body, preferring peace to honour, is indifferent to the ruin of our allies and the humiliation of the country. Accordingly, the Quarterly affirms that the representatives of England, by their recent vote, have " recorded this reproach against them " selves. We have now given to foreign nations " a right, which we cannot contest, to reproach "us with valuing peace above honour. Tout "at sauri hors l'honntur is the modern ver " sion of heroic consolation. The House of Com " mons has proclaimed to the world what is Eng " land's single care, and the world will guide itself " accordingly. Insult us if you will, but so long " as you leave us in peace we will hug ourselves " over the result." And how are we to explain this shameful conduct, this sad dulension, of an as sembly which so lately deserved our contemporary's confident*? The "preponderating consideration " in the late division, we are told, was that " there " was • strong feeling against turning • man of " eighty out of office." A melancholy reflection for middle-aged young gentlemen of the Tory per since on this principle Lord PALYERXEON'S majority must increase with his increasing years : he will be invincible at ninety, and at a hundred autocratic. To indulge an amiable feeling the House was willing, says the Quarterly, to acquiesce in the ruin of an ally and the humiliation of the country. Perhaps by October next it may occur to our contemporary that you cannot have Epicu rean propensities and Stoic principles strongly developed in the same life ; that it was not strange that men who had betrayed their own constituents should consent to the betrayal of an heroic but un profitable ally; and that the humiliation of the House of Commons did not begin with the abandon ment of Denmark. ebe Court.

DISTILLIBT OF GE Ritallt POWERS BT FRANCA. 1/11031 Ora own comerolgurr-) • PARA leuseney Inefe/G. The Pays has the following article wllialt testi fies great suspicion on the part of the Frenisis go vernment of the designs of the German powers, and seems to hold out threats of vengeance at some future time : The Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, and the King of Denmark appear decided to settle among themselves, iu the conferee** to he held at Vienna, the fate of the po pelations of the Duchies of Show* and Holstein. England declaring that she will not meddle directly or indirectly with the negotiations for peace about to be opened in that capital, tke above three powers may very well fancy them selves free to act in pursuance of any arrangement that may suit them, the ace side knowing no law but that of force and the other yielding to necessity. This would, however, be a great mistake, and one which Germany may, sooner or later, pay much dearer for than she supposes. We assume that Russia will let her alone and that France will not oppose by force of arms the arrangements which it may suit the three governments of Austria, Prussia, and Denmark to make in their common interest. But if these arraogemeata should be contrary to equity end right, the time may come when right and equity will turn against those who wilfully and unscrupulously contemned them. We are convinced that Christian IX. will forget his origin as • German prince to remember only his title of King of Denmark. Nevertheless, we feel compelled to notice symptoms which seem to indicate mdispaition on his part to think of his personal ocuivenience rather than of the interests of the nation over which be was called to reign by the now tore-op treaty of 1852. We would willingly believe in the moderation of Pi Qui. and the firm seas of character of Austria. Bat we can no longer rock ourselves in this illusion after the attitude of those two powers in the Coolers:ace, sad after their conduct in the Dano-German conflict. That 'Atha's) and that conduct must prepare us for any amount of pretensions for any degree of ambition. We are therefore not surprised to learn that the Austrian, Danish, and Prussian plenipoten tiaries assembled at Vienna have sanctioned an arrange- I ment by virtue of which not only Holstein, whose inhabi tants are German, not only that pars of Slued( whom population is also German, but portions of territory whose inhabitants are exclusively Danish by origin, manners, in terests, and character, are to be incorporated in the Germanic Confederation. This would be at once the' abandonment of the treaty of 1852, and • viola; tion of the treaties of 1815, which determined the limit, of German confederate territory. Most certainly we should be the last to cry out against the contempt of Austria and Prussia for the work of the Congress of Vienna ; but after all we cannot allow a departure from old and written law only to substitute for the mere good pleasure of sovereigns, without protesting against such an abuse of force. Germany will not be bound by the convention of 1852! Well and good. She will not hold to the limits de vised io 1815 by coalesced Europe against France. Good again. But what right has she to substi tute other limits by her own sole authority —new boundaries not legitimised by the vote of peoples and the rights of nationalities? There lies the whole question. By all means let the old, the written law, be modified ; but then let the old law be replaced by the new law, the right of nationalities; let populations be consulted before their destiny is disposed of. Especially should they be consulted before a fraction of the Scandinavian race coupled with the Germanic Confederation. Before rendering themselves guilty of this abuse of faros and this violation d equity, the two great Ger man powers ought to think twice. They should sot forget that there exists • penalty called the fez talionie. If the Germanic Confederation should aggrandise hull to day in an unjust manner, and la defiance of treaties, it will expose itself to reprisals, which will be all the more deserved because the Confederation will have been the first to set an example of the spirit of conquest. The moment that she gives way to this spirit for her own benefit, why should it not happen some day that others should give way to it to her detriment ?

Isaac Peretre's election in the Pyrine.es Orientalea is coming on before the assize court of the Aude on Aug. 1, the venue having been changed by the Court of Casea tion on the ground that there was too much excite ment in the department of the PyriiiWes Orientalea for a fair trial to be Lad there. Ten prisonere, six Dttranfistes and four Pereirisfes, are accused of having taken part in serious election riots, wherein two people were killed and two dangerously wounded. Party spirit runs so high in relation to this affair that when the prisoners were removed to Carcassonne, it was thought expedient to send them separately, and to take measures to prevent their meeting even when under lock and key. A terrible petroleum explosion occurred this morning at a manufactory, No. 11, Rue de Poisson niers. Yesterday evening a workman broke a bottle of petroleum oil in the cellar, and the con tents ran along the floor. This morning a hat maker, who occupies a part of the same cellar, went down to it with a lighted candle, and an explosion at once took place. This, however, was not of a very serious character, but the flames spreading to a heap of coals and coke the house was soon on fire, and a numberof bottles of petroleum bursting, a second and very violent explosion occurred. Two firemen, a eergent de ,idle, and ten other persons were more or less seriously wounded. As yet, however, no death is reported. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. INDIA. • —O-- Bombay papers of the lard n* sate that Dr. Livingstone arrived in Bombay on the 16th ult in the ateinier lady 11(yeata, .4‘tat Africa. The steamer, belonging to * Umbed exploring expedition, is to be sold. Sir John Lawrence has declared himself opposed, for military reasons, to the extension of the Sciode Railway to Noonan, and favourably inclined towards the maintenance of an Indus flotilla. His Excellency was still at Simla ; and his Excellency Sir Hugh Rose was expected to arrive there on his return from his recent trip to Cashmere about the 18th. Preparations are being made for a oensus of Cal cutta. A difficulty has arise* in the working of the India and Europe Telegraph line. The messages will have to be translated into the Turkish lan guage at Constantinople and retranslated into English at Bagdad. A seditious proclamation was posted up in the Jumma Musjid in Delhi during the Mohurrum. The Jumma Muajid, taken possession of ►t the time of the mutiny, was made over to the Ma homedans about two years ago. The line of railway between Oudh and Morada bad has been determined on, and operations will shortly commence. The road will branch off from the Oudh Railway at Seetapore, peas through Shajehanpore, Bareily, Rampore, Moradabad, and join the main line of the Great East Indian Rail way at Meerut. A French shipping company has just been formed in Bombay, with a capital of Rs. 20,00,000. The Akhooxd of Swat is again trying to persuade the disaffected Momunds and Bajouries in the bills, on our extreme north-west frontier, to rise against the British. He made a similar attempt the other day to arouse the fanaticism of the Jeygoon tribe, amongst whom he preached a jehad, or crusade, against the infidels ; but he signally failed in his object with these people, who reminded him how mercifully the English bad behaved to their co-re ligionists during the mutinies, declared his allega tions against them to be falsehoods, and terminated all intercourse with him by stoning him out of their territory. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Candia, Captain Castle, which suffered so se verely in the cyclone off Socotra on the 29th April last, has reached Calcutta in safety. In the case of Mahomed Sooffee, the chief of the rebels who were recently tried and convicted of high treason at Umballab, in tho Upper Provinces, Sir Herbert Edwardes has, in addition to confirm ing the sentence of death passed upon him by the sessions judge, directed that his body be burnt after execution, as was done in the case of the murder of the late Major Mackeson, a former commissioner of the Puojaub. Intelligence has been received from the Punjaub that the Nawab of Bhawulpore has murdered his uncle, and that the lieutenant-governor, Sir Robert Montgomery, has proposed to the supreme govern. ment to take over the management of the Nawab'a territory, the usual political agents being appointed to reside there. Orders have been received for her Majesty's 28th, 48th, 52nd, and 71st Regiments of Foot and the 17th Lancers to be in readiness to return to England immediately on being relieved by the lbt Battalion of the 11th, the 2nd Battalion of the 12th, the 45th, and 58th Regiments, and the 18th Hussars. A private soldier of the Ist Battalion her Ma jesty's 19th Regiment, at Julluodur, has been Ben tenoed to penal servitude for life, for striking an assistant-surgeon in his oell, when a prisoner ; and the sentence has been confirmed by Sir Hugh Rose. The extreme dearness and scarcity of labour in Bombay has become a very serious evil. "Ships," says one journal, "are condemned to be idle in harbour for days, and sometimes weds, together, because there are tot sufficient boatmen or coolies to be had for landing and discharging cargo. The men employed at the cotton presses have struck for higher wages, as also have the whole of the scavengers of the island. Prices of all food stuffs continue to rise daily, and have now almost reached famine rates. Rents have also enormously increased, and in some cases have quintupled in the short space of five years. The old Fort polies-office, which was rented by govern ment for 351. a month in April last, now rents for 150/. a month." (ILICTIJeII TZLIOILLIGI.) SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 21.

PRIVATE BUSINEta. The Redni* sad Falmouth Junction Railway Bill and Shiers Chenillbe Bill were road a third time and passed. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was reed a third time and paned. INDIAN MEDICAL SERVICE BILL. 112111 debate on the consideration of this bill was re sumed by lir. HENNESSY,who moved the following clause Any person, being a natural born subject of her Majesty, who may be dimness of being appointed an assistant surgeon in the said forme, shall be admitted to be ex- amined as a candidate for such appointment." The hon. gentleman contended that as the measure stood, it might be fntel to the system of competition examination, which he contended had proved most successful ;and be Quoted an article from the Lasrei to the effect that the proposals of the government were likely to prove most pre- judicial to the medical service in India. If the right hon. bast (Sir C. Wood) was sincere in his approval of the prin ciple of open competition let him support the clause; if not he (the boo. geotlemanl recommended the house not to put its trust in princes, mach less than in secretarie of state. Colonel SYR ES scald sot see what possible objection the right hon. baronet had to the clause, which was taken almost verbatim from the Queen's proclamation to her Indian subjects. As the bill stood it would give power to appoint any apothecary's apprentice or other adventurer that might choose to go out to India.

His young and distressed wife hat been up all night with him admiuistering anything that could be given to him, although iniffeciog under the most mote mental anguish.

The death of his brother is, we seed hardly my, • great blow to the right boo. gentleman, for no two brothers could be attached to each other thaa were Mr. Sotheron and Mr. Edward Fatoours ; but the right hon. gentleman bears the affliction with • 011iIIIONIO and ',nips ' tins which those who know him best would expect from him ; and it has, we are able to announce, bad no exciting effect upon the attack with which be was previously seized, nor has there bees soy retrain of the bleeding.
