MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. A strong business has been transacted in most descriptions of foreign and colonial produce during the last few days. Public sales, however, have been suspended during the Whitsun holidays. Tea has been firm, and the few dealings recorded in sugar and coffee have been at barely late quo tations. A very limited demand has been experienced for rice and spices, but prices are a shade firmer, and in rum the dealings have been limited. Saltpetre has been dull, most parties waiting the result of the public sales an nounced for to-day. A moderate business has been done in tallow, the demand from the trade having been only to a limited extent. Prices however have been toler ably well maintained. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness was quiet, but prices were very firm. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with animation, and quota tions continued to advance. The Borussia, from the United States, has been announced this morning with £6,000 in specie for this country, and £8,600 for France. About £B,OOO in Russian gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. Although the specie movement continues very active, the imports and exports being conducted on an extensive scale, the bullion at the Bank of Eng land is steadily maintained. Small parcels are disposed of to the authorities, which occasion a gradual augmentation. The total is now about £18,000,000, and the large importation from Aus tralia and America seems to justify the impression that a higher total will soon be reported; combined with ,the limited inquiry for accommodation and the abundance of money, it also favours the opinion that the minimum will be further reduced. Another payment of 25 per cent. is due to•day on the Indian Loan, thus completing 50 per cent. of the operation. During the early part of the day the market for public securities presented a buoyant appearance. The Funds were at an advance of to I per cent., but so sudden an improvement led to sales which caused a partial reaction. Consols rose to 93 and they are now 93/ or t, per cent. above yesterday's closing prices. It is evident that the market is buoyant, and that a few purchases are sufficient to cause an upward movement. Bank Stock has receded to 219; the New Threes advanced to 93/ 94-1- ; and the Re duced to 94k. India Loan Debentures to 95, and the Scrip to 94. Exchequer Bills are steady at 235. to 265. The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market have been rather restricted, but prices generally show a further improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 74 to 76 ; ditto New 60 to 62 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents. have advanced to 911 92 ; Mexican to 181 f-' 4 ; Peruvian 4k per Cents, to 85; ditto Uribarren to 80; Portuguese to 43 and 44 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents, to 97; Venezuelan Deferred is steady at 171. Increased buoyancy has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, a further rise of 1 to 1 per cent, having been realised on most of the principal lines. Eastern Counties and Stockton and Dar lington advanced ss. ; Caledonian, Great Northern, North Western, and Great Western, 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, Manchester, Sheffield, and LincOln, Midland, North British, North Eastern (Berwick), North Eastern (York), and South Eastern, £l. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been in very limited favour. Lombardo-Venetian Old shares improved to 7 and 71 ; and the New shares to 61 7. Grand Trunk of Canada advanced to 351 36. East Indian remained steady at 102; and Great Indian Peninsula at 981 99. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown very little activity. London Char tered of Australia, Oriental Bank, Canada Land and Peel River Land were dealt in at previous values.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT. (Before the Lords Justices.) BARTLETT V. PHILLIPS. The contention here was whether thp respondent, the vicar of Maidley, was entitled to the rents and profits of the mines of coal and ironstone under his glebe lands. It appeared that the mines had been discovered in 1756, and that the workings underground from other lands had been carried on since 1844 ; and the questions was whether the vicar had a legal right to the rent and profits of the mines. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner were decidedly of opinion that the respondent had no right to the rents and profits of the mines in question, except the entire sum of expenses, which the patron had consented to allow him ; and that the sum of £4OO paid into court shall be laid out in the improvement of the vicarage. PETITIONPORJUDGMENT-INRELOVELACIp-SETTLEMENT. This is an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, finding that the donee of the appointee in a marriage settlement was not liable to pay legacy duty to the Crown, under the Legacy Duty Acts, 16, 17, and 18 of the Queen, cap. 51, secs. 12, 4, and 2. Mrs. Lovelace, by her marriage settlement, had a power of appointment and nomination, and on the decease of her husband, in 1852, she left England to reside in France. By her will she executed this reserved power of appoint ment ; and the question was, whether the donee of the appointee was liable to pay legacy duty on the legacies bequeathed to him by the testatrix. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner were decidedly of opinion that, under the second section of the act, legacy duty was payable to the Crown by the donee of the appointee, and declared accordingly. Their lordships reversed the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor, and dismissed the appeal without costs, except as to costs of the court below, of consent. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE BENDELL. This bankrupt was a carman, &c., in Well-street, Well close-square, and this was a meeting for consideration of the certificate. The accounts, by Mr. S. T. Cooper, commence January, 1858, with a capital of £835, and he now owes to creditors unsecured, £798; profits, £3,547. The credit side shows Good debts, £162; doubtful, £10; property, £761. Trade expenses, £2,718 ; wages, £923 ; rent, £127 ; interest, £108; house and personal, £348. The meeting had been adjourned until to-day to afford an opportunity for him to examine the accounts, as he had been recently appointed. The result of that examination had been satisfactory, but an op position was now raised by certain trustees under peculiar circumstances. Mr. Rose, solicitor to the trustees, said that plaintiff was a partner to a joint bond. Two of those parties had become bankrupt, but proof wasnot admitted, as there was a solvent partner. The third party being now bankrupt, Mr. Rose contended he had a right to appear to oppose according to notice. His Honour said that could not be allowed until the claim was converted into a proof, but on looking to the form of the memorandum on the proceedings, the claim had by the circumstances assumed the character of a proof, except that the opposing creditors did not claim a dividend in compe tition with the creditors of the estate. He therefore thought they had a right to oppose, but would adjourn the case for hearing for one week, when the facts could be discussed before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd---the costs of the trustees to abide the decision. Mr. Lucas was for the assignees, and Mr. Bayley for the bankrupt. IN RE WIIITWELL. The bankrupt was described as ofthe Fir Trees Tavern, Herne Hill, Wanstead, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees and proof of debts, &c. The petition was filed by Messrs. Underwood, distillers, Eastcheap. Several proofs were admitted and assignees chosen. Messrs. Hart Brothers were appointed accountants to the estate. CRIMINAL CoURT.—(THIS DA F.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) CHARGE OF LIBEL.-GODFREY T. NEWTON. The hearing witnesses for the defence was continued this morning; at the termination of which Sergeant Ballantine addressed the jury at great length for the defendant. The learned advocate was followed by Sergeant Parry, for Dr. Godfrey, who, in a speech of much ability, contended that he had clearly established the charge of libel. The Recorder then commenced summing up, and had not concluded when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing evidence in the case of John Davis and John Handley, charged with having in their possession a quantity of counterfeit coin. The jury found both prisoners guilty. Davis was sen tenced to two years, and Handley to six months' imprison ment in the House of Correction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. USEFUL CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.-Wm. Montgomery, a tall, shabby looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a framed print and some horse-hair stuffing from a seat in the parlour of the Prince Albert, Upper St. Martin's-lane, the property of Mr. Stuart Sutherlaad. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that on the previous evening, while attending to some customers, a person asked him, as the prisoner was leaving the house, whether, when prisoner came in, he had a parcel with him as he suspected him of having got something under his arm belonging to him. The prisoner was fetched back with a parcel under his arm, at the, time wrapped in a newspaper, and on being opened it was found to contain a framed print and a quantity of horse-hair, which the pri soner had taken from one of the seats in the parlour where he had been sitting. The prisoner said he was in distress, and had been wandering about for the last day or two. In answer to the magistrate, the prisoner admitted his guilt, and said he was in distress, but was sorry for it. Mr. Bingham said publicans must not be robbed in this way, and if prisoner was in distress he should have gone to the relieving officer. Committed for three months. MISCELLANEOUS. 3d.tscellaneons.

STABBING.—Wm. Keefe, a boiler-maker, of 7, Painter's rents, Broad-street, Ratcliff, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with stabbing John Coghlan, his landlord. The affray which led to the prisoner being taken into custody occurred on Tuesday, the 22d of May, in the course of an Irish row in Painter's -rents. The prisoner, who was drunk, noisy, and violent, was ordered to leave the house he was in by his landlord. He refused to do so, a row ensued, and several persons commenced fighting. Coghlan attempted to turn Keefe out of the house, and in a struggle which took place the prisoner seized a knife and plunged it into the breast of his countryman, inflicting a deep and dangerous wound, from the effects of which Coghlan is still suffering. He has been under medical treatment in the London Hospital ever since he received the wound. A certificate from the house surgeon of the London Hos pital was put in, which stated that the wounded man was not in a fit state to be removed. Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, read the evidence given on the 23d of May, and it clearly made out the case against the prisoner, and that the knife with which he inflicted the wound was taken away by his own wife. Mr. Yardley asked if any of the witnesses were in attend ance and on being answered in the negative, said he could not detain the prisoner without evidence. The prisoner said he had been incarcerated for upwards of three weeks. Mr. Yardley said ,he should not detain the prisoner any longer without evidence, and finally allowed him to go at large, on his entering into his own recognizanco to appear again when Coghlan is able to appear against him. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.--The Government emigrant ship Monica, 1,346 tons, Captain James Jackson, which sailed from Liverpool on the 30th December, arrived at Melbourne, Victoria, on the 17th of March, with 46 married couples, 278 single women, 7 single women, 7 girls between the ages of 1 and 12, 17 boys between the same ages, 22 female and 7 male infants, making a total of 430 souls, equal to 396 i statute adults, under charge of Surgeon Superintendent J. Matthew Burke. Three births, but no deaths occurred during the voyage. FATAL SCAFFOLD ACClDENT.—Yesterday morn ing, about nine o'clock, a fatal accident took place in Wil ton-place, Belgmve-square. One of the houses is under repair, a scaffolding being raised to the roof. At the hour above stated, Mr. Charles li,owan, foreman of the brick layers, was looking over their work upon a platform about 40 feet from the ground, when one of the planks tilted, and he was precipitated head foremost into the area beneath. On being taken up his head was discovered to be literally beaten in. THE HANDEL COMM EMORATION.—The prepa rations for this great musical gathering may now be said to be complete. At the last rehearsal, the three kettle drums manufactured expressly for the occasion by Mr. Distin were tested with the most satisfactory result, pro ducing a full, round tone, which blended with admirable effect with the chorus. The rehearsal of the instrumenta lists will be held at Exeter Hall on Thursday morning, and the whole of the provincial choir are to arrive in town on Friday, preparatory to a great choral rehearsal at Exeter Hall in the evening. Admission to these two rehearsals will be strictly confined to the performers. The grand full rehearsal of the entire body will take place at the Crystal Palace on Saturday next, when the whole area of the Palace will be open to the public, the galleries only being appropriated as reserved seats. On this occasion portions of the oratorios for each day of the festival will be rehearsed, and those yho rutty be unable to attend the grand perform ances in the ensuing week will thus have an opportunity of estimating the varied character of the selections, and the general effect of this unparalleled assemblage of 'musical talent.

At the last sitting, M. Chasles communicated an account of his efforts to recompose the three books of Euclid, entitled Porisms. These three books are lost; but there is an obscure notice of them in Pappus, a geometrician of the 4th century, who speaks of the work in the highest terms, declaring it to be indispensable for geometrical investiga tions. Many mathematicians have since endea voured to discover what those Porisms were, for the word itself was not clearly understood. Halley, the celebrated astronomer, published the Greek text of the work of Pappus relating to the matter, and which was hitherto only known by the Latin translation Commandinus ; but even this discovery was not sufficient to unravel the mystery. Professor Simon at length, after much study, explained three of the propositions contained in Pappus's enuncia tions ; and there was accordingly now some hope of arriving at Euclid's 171 propositions. But the question made little progress, and it is therefore not without interest that the academy learnt from M. Chasles that he had succeeded in reconstruct ing, as nearly as possible, the whole of the three lost books of Euclid. M. Geoffroy St. Hilaire read an account of an acephalous kid, lately born in the department of La Sarthe, and now sent to the Museum of Natural History by M. Richard, the postman at La Chatre, who had it stuffed at his own expense for the purpose. This monstrous birth bel,pngs to the Perachephalous genus ; it not only does not present any vestige of the head or neck, but even the thorax and the fore paws are wanting. While the hoof of the right hind leg is cloven in two, that of the left is cloven into three parts; the tail is wanting.—M. de Tessan con cluded his remarks on the question relating to the globules of clouds. Having shown in his previous communications that the arguments in favour of their hollowness were all doubtful, he now discussed the argument on the other side, con tending that water being disseminated in the air just as a salt, for instance, is disseminated in the water which has dissolved it, there is no reason why a hollow vesicle should be formed in the first case, when it never occurs in the second.—M. Lecoq was elected a correspondent in lieu of. M. 1 Bonpland. deceased, by 31 votes to 14, given to M. Planchon. THEATRICAL TRIAL IN PARIS. The trial of a case which excites some interest in theatrical and literary circles has commenced before the Civil Tribunal. M. Eugene de Mire - court. a well-known author,, and M. Gabriel, a literary man, more than seven years ago wrote a melodrama, called La Fin du Monde ; or, Le Juge ment Dernier, and presented it to the Theatre de la Port Saint-Martin. But it was not performed, and after a while they entered into an arrangement with M. Mery, the author, and M. Felicien David, the composer, to the effect that the former should transform it into the libretto of an opera, and that the latter should set the libretto to music, subject to the condition that they (Mirecourt and Gabriel) should receive two-sixths of the droits d'auteur obtained from the piece. The piece was a good deal modified, and its title, being considered likely to shock religious people, was changed into Herculanum ; its principal incident, too, the destruction of the world, was, for the same reason, changed into the d es t ruc ti on o f the city of that name. At last Mery completed the libretto, and David composed the music ; and some months back the opera, after encountering difficulties of various kinds, was brought out at the Grand Opera. But the dissensison arose as to how the proceeds were to be appropriated; Mery and David, together with a M. Hadot, who had assisted the former, maintaining that the original melo. drama hand undergone such a transformation that Gabriel and Mirecourt could in no respect be considered as the authors of it ; these two persons on their part, insisting on the execution of the original bargain. The matter was referred to the arbitration of a committee of the Dramatic Authors society, and it decided that Gabriel and Mirecourt should have two. sixths of the receipts, Hadot one, Mery one, and David the remaining two. It further decided that Gabriel and Mirecourt should not be named in the playbills as authors, and that Hadot should not be named, except Mery should consent to his being so. But after while a new question arose—namely, whether Gabriel or Mirecourt should or should not share in the profits of the sale of the music and the libretto, as well as in those of the performance of the opera. On this point it was impossible for the parties to come to an understanding, and an action had accordingly to be brought before the Civil Tribunal. It was this action which came on yesterday. In support of the pretensions of Gabriel and Mirecourt, it was contended that, notwithstanding the modifi cations the piece had undergone, they must still be considered the principal authors of it, and as such entitled to share in the money produced by the sale; also, that the arrangement come to about the pro ceeds of the performances did not in any way affect their right to share. The tribunal, after hearing their counsel, adjourned the case for a week.— Galignani. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will and codicil of Vice-Admiral Percy Grace, who died on the 11th of May, 1859, was proved in London by the Marquis of Chandos, D.C.L., and Lieutenant-Colonel Sir James John Hamilton, Bart., C.B. two of the executors, power being reserved to Francis Richard Brooke and. George Glas Sandeman, Esqrs., the other execu tors. The will is dated the 22d of February, 1856, and the codicil the 18th of February, 1857. He has left many specific bequests to members of the Buckingham family. To the Marquis of' Chandos he leaves a rifle-gun and a pair of pistols ; and similar bequests to several of his friends. To each of his nieces he has bequeathed a camphor-wood trunk or box, which he had pur chased in China, the scent of which is found to be destructive to moths and other insects. To his man servant Mitchell he leaves a legacy of £lOO, all his clothes, his residence, and the household fur niture, as a reward for his attention and faithful services. The will of William John Broderip, Esq., F.R.S., one of the Benchers o f the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, formerly a magistrate of the Thames Police Court, and afterwards a magistrate of the Westminster Police Court, was proved in the Lon don Court of Probate by his cousin, Chas. Theobald Maud and John Jenkyns, Esqrs., the executors. The personalty £6,000. The testator has di rec t e d that mourning-rings, or some similar token, should be given t o his friends the Earl of Ennis killen, F.R.S., Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton, Bart., F.R.S., and others named in his will. He has left several specific and pecuniary bequests. To each of his executors, £lOO ; to his godson, John Maud, a large silver tankard ; to Mrs. Shep hard and her two sons, each £5O; he has also bequeathed to Mrs. Shephard his gold watch, " with .jumping hours," and the gold chain and seals. He leaves the residue of his property to his sister for her life ; at her decease to be equally divided between the Rev. John Primatt Maud, Charles Theobald Maud, and Mrs. Elizabeth Lan don, or their survivors. The will is dated Jan. 28, 1842.—Illustrated London News. AMERICA.—By the arrival of the Hamburg and American Company's steamship Borussia, at Southampton last evening we have received files of the New York Herald to the Ist inst. but all th e ir news has been anticipated by the arrival of 'the Canada from Boston. The Borussia brought 30,000 dole. and 40 passengers for England. THE NAVE It is with feelings of very sincere regret that we have to record the sudden death of Dr. Alexander S. Allen, M.D., surgeon of her Majesty's Dockyard, Portsmouth. The deceased gentleman was uni versally beloved by all who'had the honour of his acquaintance. He was taken ill about a fortnight since, and, although he could not leave his resi dence, he obtained a fortnight's leave to recruit his health. His second, Dr. Elliott, was constant in his attendance on him, and up to yesterday morn ing he seemed improving. He had risen as usual, breakfasted, and laid himself down on the sofa, when suddenly he was seized with convulsions and in a few minutes breathed his last. His loss will be severely felt. He was only 45 years of age when he died. The Ruby gunboat, Lieut. J. Stotherd, tender to the Cornwallis, yesterday arrived at Woolwich. The screw steam storeship Industry, Master- Commander Hodges, having been recoated with the ordinary red lead and coal tar, in place of the patent granite solution recently removed, subse quent to an official survey, was yesterday undocked at Woolwich to be replaced by the paddlewheel steam sloop Driver, ordered for commission. The Industry dropped down the river and made fast alongside the coal depot to fill in her bunkers, pre paratory to shipping provisions and naval stores. Tao paddlewheel steamship Firefly yesterday got up steam in the basin at Woolwich and underwent an engineer's trial of her machinery. The Firefly is under extensive repairs, and is being brought forward for the pendant. The new screw steam transport, Lord Panmure, built for the service of the military store depart ment of Woolwich Arsenal, sailed yesterday on her first voyage, laden with 500 tons of war stores. Her Majesty's steam transport Dee, Master Commander Pullen, from the west, yesterday entered the steam basin, Woolwich, to reload with machinery. The Admiralty apparatus fitted on board the Dee, as the latest and most efficient in vention for testing the rate of economy and advan tage obtained by superheating without admixture the steam necessary for working the engines, con tinues to be favourably reported on, fOr the satis faction of the Admiralty. The success of the invention, which is of great importance to the naval and mercantile service, and in which Sir Baldwin Walker and the Board of Admiralty have taken peculiar interest, is also attested by its operation on board the Prince Alfred. The Urgent, screw steam troopship, Commander Hire, whose arrival at Spithead from Gibraltar. we reported in The Snn of yesterday, steamed into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead yesterday at high water. The Urgent left the Rock at about 6 30 p.m. on the 7th inst., and has had fine weather the passage home. She brings home 85 tons of old shot and a quantity of empty shell and fusees, old provisions, stores, and a number of old ordnance from - the fortress. After clearing out her stores, &c., the Urgent will be placed in dock at Ports mouth, for repairs, &c. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Philip Going, Master, to the Scylla • G. S. Aldricks, Master, to th e S cou t ; Mark Netten, Master, to the Cossack ; and George Richards, Master, to the Sidon. STATE OF THE THAMES. The following report has just been presented to the Metropolitan Board of Works : "To THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. " King's College, London, June 9. " Gentlemen,—The progressive rise of tempera ture, both in the atmosphere and in the river during the past week, accompanied by a diminished fall of rain, has been attended by a marked change for the worse in the state of the Thames, which is rendered particularly evident at the upflow of the tide, when the mud, in which decomposition has been promoted by exposure for some hours to the sun's rays, is stirred up by the advancing water, and the imprisoned gases are set free. "Putrefaction is always more easily prevented than checked after it has commenced. It is, there fore, desirable that immediate measures should be taken to prevent, as far as possible, the addition to the river of any matters from the sewers in an active state of putrescence. . " With a view to this object, I have, during the past week, been in almost daily communication with the chairman of the board, who informs me that arrangements are complete for enabling the deodorising agents to be mixed with the contents of the sewers near their outfall. "For the present, the most advisable course to be adopted appears to he to add lime in regulated quantities to the sewerage products before allowing them to become mixed with the water of the river. Some difference of opinion exists as to the effici ency of this mode of procedure. There is, however, no doubt that when lime is added to recent excre mentitious matters it combines with some of their constituents which are most prone to decomposition, and forms with them a flocculent chemical com pound, or precipitate, which is less liable to putre faction than the original material. If this preci pitate could be separated, and the liquid portion only be run off, as is practised at Leicester, the subsequent offensive decomposition of the liquid sewerage products would be effectually obviated, as experience has fully proved. But even where it is not practicable to effect this separation, the use of lime at the present temperature will exert an important influence in retarding the process of putrefaction. " If the liming be found as summer advances and the temperature continues to rise to be inadequate to check the putrefaction, other more powerful but much more expensive deodorizing compounds to be employed, either as adjuncts or substitutes. " I am at present engaged in trials upon the best means of applying those at the mouth of one of the large sewers, and I hope to be able in a short time to report to you the results of the trials. " The following table will show the advance of temperature in the river during the week that has elapsed since June 2, the date of my last report. I have found the temperature of the river to be 1.5 deg. to 2 deg. higher at low than at ,high water, obviously because the volume of water is smallest at low water, as it washes over the heated mud banks. There has been much thunder but little rain during the week, the total fall amounting to 0.18 inch. TABLE OF TEMPERATURE OF THE RIVER. Date. Dep.,o - .' State of • Deg. State of Fah. Tide.

The water is less agitated in these basins than in the river, and is consequently freer from suspended matter. In fact, the docks servo as settling pools, in which the turbid water of the river becomes clear by repose, and the mud thus carried in it is removed by dredging. The water of the West India Docks is remarkably clear and bright, and the appearance of that in the East India India. Docks is nearly as good. The water in both the East and West India Docks, from their situation on the river, contains a much larger pro portion of sea water brought up by the tide than the water either of the London or the St. Katha rine's Docks. " The West India Docks possess the advantage of free communication with the river by their opposite extremities, and are thus particularly well situated for the change of water from the river when necessary —an advantage which the London Docks, from the arrangement of their basins, may also employing lth in em g themselves of, though to a less extent, by oy the entrance through the Hermitage Dock as well as the other entrances. " The samples of water from the docks are col lected on the Ist of June. The sa mple of the rive r at high water was taken in midstream opposite Somerset-house, on the 31st of May ; that of the river at low water was taken at the same point on the 2d of June ; heavy . showers having fallen during the preceding 24 hours in both cases.

(From the Times.) After the lapse of nearly six months the public is about to learn the details of Lord Malmesbury's foreign policy. A blue book has been published of great interest, inasmuch as it discloses the trans actions on which the Government seeks to found its justification. For the present, however, w e must confine ourselves to the despatches which were written at the very beginning of the dispute. To learn how the events of the first days of January appeared to the Government and to politicians in general is not without importance, since from the impressions then produced the whole policy of her Majesty's Ministers is plainly derivable. In the first place, the correspondence to which we now have access dissipates one illusion. It is now per fectly clear that the war which France is waging against Austria is no sudden and unforeseen struggle precipitated by imprudence or wounded pride on either side. That Louis Napoleon looks to the promotion of Italian prosperity and the removal of Italian discontent as means for the accomplishment of his object may be true enough ; he has seen the faults of Austria, and may profit by them ; but it cannot be doubted by any one who reads these papers that the extension of French influence by the expulsion of the Austrians from Italy is a settled policy of the Second Empire, and was resolved upon prior to and independent of any recent demonstrations in Italy. Yet at the close of last year it had become evident that a disturbance was at hand. The King of Sardinia in his addresses to his troops hinted broadly at a coming quarrel with Austria. The Austrian Minister at Paris had been ostentatiously. omitted from the invitations to Compiegne, and it was understood throughout Europe that the rela tions between the two great Catholic Powers were most unsatisfactory. At the same time the state of Lombardy became every day more uneasy. A re cent French pamphleteer has compared the Sar dinians who talked of interfering to redress the grievances of the Austrian provincials to glaziers who broke the windows of the Parisians by night and then called next day to mend tnem. How far the parallel holds we cannot tell. But whether discontent was stirred up by the agents of Victor I „Emmanuel, or w as th e natural effect of the spec tacle of superior freedom across the frontier, certain it is that at the close of last year the state of Lom bardy was such as to demand the serious attention even of the English Government. It appears that before the Ist of January the Government of Lord Derby had felt it necessary to remonstrate with Sardinia on the warlike spirit which King and Ministers were fostering, and which could have but one end—a rupture with Austria. Sir James Hudson, after his return to Turin, did not fail to express these opinions of the Britisn Cabinet in interviews with Count Cavour ; and, as he was probably desired to report on the general state of Italy, he wrote a despatch dated the 3d of January, which enters into the question both of Lombard discontent and Piedmontese provocation. The temper of the people east of the Ticino seems bythis time to have been roused to the last extreme by hatred of their masters and a hope of speedy deliverance. It may be alleged that Sir James took his notions of the state of feeling in Lombardy from the conversa tion of his Turin friends, but the account he gives is most discouraging. " I regret t o h ave t o report to your lordship that during the last three weeks the posture of affairs in Lombardy has not im proved." The Minister then goes on to speak of the insults offered to Austrian officers, and he states a fact which hardly tallies with the accounts received from other quarters—that the lower orders were more bitter against the Austrians than the gentry or the middle class. It had always been thought that the educated and wealthy were the chief malcontents towards Austrian domination, and that the men who would not attend the Arch duke Max's receptions, and the ladies who quitted their opera-boxes on his entrance into the house, were the leaders in the anti-Imperial crusade. "But," says Sir James Hudson, "if a revolution does take place at Milan, it will begin at the bottom, and not at the top of the body politic." The nobility, according to him, were almost neutral, placed as they were between the Aus trian authorities and the mob, and enter taining an equal fear of each. The Legations are described as ripe for revolt; Parma and Modena were quiet, but only because Lombardy did not move, and the Papal States generally were in a condition which might well alarm his Holiness and the Sacred College. The British Minister does not consider the machinations of Sardinia to be principally respon sible for these things ; they are, in his opinion, the natural result of the repression exercised in the Austrian provinces and in the other Italian States under the protectorate of Vienna. " The mere existence of a system of government as free as that of Sardinia is excitement enough to people in the condition of the Lombards, Venetians, and the Pope's subjects." But, as it appeared to her Ma jesty's Ministers—and, indeed, to the world gene rally—that Victor Emmanuel was disposed to make the discontent of his neighbours a pretext for ex tending his own possessions, Sir J. Hudson, under the directions of Lord Ma lmesbury, remonstrated strongly with the Sardinian Government. "To this both Count Cavour and the King replied that no cause of offence had been or would be given by Sardinia to her neighbours. His Majesty added that the political horizon was threatening, but, as far as he was concerned, the House of Savoy would pursue its old course of loyalty to its engage ments ; and, while he regretted certain matters in a neighbouring State, he haul no hesitation in saying that neither intrigue nor revolution would ever be countenanced by his country." Count Cavour said that if people expected that Sardinia was going to declare war they were likely to be disappointed. So much for Royal and Ministerial assurances. While the King was declaring that he would countenance neither intrigue nor revolution, the marriage of his daughter had been arranged, and the enrolment of refugees from every State of the Peninsula was about to begin. The events which were in the meantime occurring in France were even more important. There the first days of January were passed in great alarm. It was computed that during the month the public securities throughout Europe were diminished to the amount of £60,000,000 sterling. The speech of the Emperor on New Year's-day had produced so bad an effect that the Moniteur was ordered to publish a paragraph calculated to remove the public uneasiness. This was done, but in so awkward a manner and in such ambiguous language as only made matters worse. The British Government were among those who shared in the general alarm. Under these circumstances, Lord Malmesbury addressed to Lord Cowley a despatch dated January 10. In this the Foreign Secretary boldly states his conviction that it is the French Emperor's desire to press Austria into a war for the sake of his own reputation and aggrandisement. For such an anticipation there were, unfortunately, good reasons. Lord Clarendon had set Lord Malmesbury on his guard by detailing to him particulars of the conversations with which Napoleon 111. had favoured him at Compiegne. " I am aware," writes the Foreign Secretary, "from a conversatiohwhich Lord Clarendon held lately at Compiegne with the Em peror, and which his lordship repeated to me, that his Imperial Majesty has long looked at the internal state of Italy with interest and anxiety. It may be that in a war with Austria, and having Sardinia for an ally, he may play the important part of the regenerator of Italy. If so, the Treaties of 1816 must be effaced, for such a redistribution of terri tory could not be effected without the consent o . f the parties to those Treaties." The despatch a throughout a strong protest against the scheme ; but what we wish chiefly to point ou of the evidence of long deliberation on the part and which Napoleon, which is here made manifest, an extraordinary rapidity may help to explain the lmpe r ialtis with which the French army w transported to the scene of action whenfalse step on the part arms t France r t a h n o cs those oaft-k las tus t a r ia good — t h g e r i o n a v o a invasion i o f o n r o joiningat P iedmont—gavehe the course of victories which has already ca rried the Em p eror and his tf o h r of all y Sa t r o dl m ni i a la , and n. entering n THIS DAY'S MARKETS.
