hONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK, The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days have shown rather more activity. The absence of many of the principal dealers, however, at Ascot, has in some measure interfered with the public business. In the private market most of the principal staples have been in good demand, and in several instances advanced rates have been realised. Tea has been firm, and the better descriptions of British Plantation sugar have slightly improved. Coffee has been dealt in to some extent, and the new crop of Plantation Ceylon realised higher values. For rice and spices the inquiry has been active, full rates being in most instances current. The transactions in saltpetre have been to a very limited extent, and prices have slightly declined. Tallow has been in steady demand at about late values, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 555., and last three months 565. per cwt. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a rather large amount of business was transacted, and prices tended upwards. The sales were esti mated at 12,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and previous rates were fully supported. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The whole of the gold by the City of Baltimore, viz., £157,600, has been taken for the Continent. The demand for discount accommodation has slightly augmented, but the market remains in a quiet and easy position. The requirements of the public are still comparatively limited, and as the supplies at the command of bankers and brokers are considerable, accommodation is obtained on favourable conditions for those who require assistance. Trade being in as sound, if not in as flourishing a position as could be desired, the com mercial community find no difficulty in getting their paper negotiated ; but in the present situation of mercantile affairs, as regards distant foreign and colonial markets, an indisposition is shown to enter into speculative enterprise. The settlement in foreign stocks and railway shares appears to have increased the demand for loans, but its effect has been. unimportant. A heavy tone has pervaded the market for Eng lish Securities to-day. The Funds are at a high point, and frequent variations must be ex pected, as the course of prices is influenced exclusively by speculative transactions. The transfer-books being closed, the favourable influence lately created by money purchase; is withdrawn. Consols, which closed yesterday afternoon at 921 931, have declined to 92 1, at which they are now quoted. The tendency of other so:urities is also rather unfavourable. The New Threes are fiat at 93 1; and the Reduced at 931 z ; and Exchequer Bills at 235. to 275. prem. India Loan Debentures are steady at 911- 95 ; and ditto Scrip, 931 1 Bank Stock is firm at 221. The market for Foreign Securities has exhibited less animation, and prices, in most instances, appear rather heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 76 to 78 ; ditto New, 62 to 61 ; Grenada Active are steady at 17 ; Mexican at 18:4 ; Russian 41 per Cents. at 951 ; and Brazilian 5 per Cents., 1829-39, at 100 ; Belgian 43 per Cents. are firm at 931 ; Dutch 23 per Cents. at 631 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. are flat at 4236 ; but ditto Passive have advanced to 81. A slight downward movement has been apparent in Railway Shares, prices having been affected by the heaviness in the Consol Market. Eastern Counties, Great Western, Midland, and North Eastern (Berwick), have declined ss. Caledonian, Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee, and Brighton, 10s.; and South Western, £l. London and Blackwall have improved 15s. The Foreign lines have shown rather more ac tivity, but in most instances prices have been a shade lower. West Flanders, Great Luxemburg, Bahia and San Francisco, and Pernambuco are each at reduced quotations. Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares declined to 61, and the latest quotation for the New Shares is 61 In the Colonial Market Grand Trunk of Canada are dull at 35 to 36 ; Great Indian Peninsula, at 981 ; and East Indian have declined to 1011 1011. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown little variation. Bank of Australia have receded 10s., Ottoman Bank 55.; Crystal Palace Preference and Royal Mail Steam have slightly .advanced.

We had hoped that the crisis had been over, and that we should not again have to give th e a b ove st' heading to any of our articles. Unhappily it i s s t , otherwise. Unexpected and unpleasant circum- St' stances occurred late on Wednesday evening, i n sti connection with the formation of the New Cabinet, to prevent Lord Palmerston's going down yesterday morning to Windsor Castle, as was intended, to submit to her Majesty a list of the noble Lord's new Administration. We hope and believe that the crisis is on the eve of being over, if it be not actually so ; but yesterday morning it looked as if all Lord Palmerston's efforts to form a strong Go vernment would prove ineffectual. And the most painful part of the matter is to he found in the fact, that Lord Palmerston's chief difficulties have arisen from the ungracious conduct of one who was intended to occupy the next most important post in the New Ministry to that of the Premiership. We need say no more to indicate the malcontent. The Palmer ston Ministry has been placed in peril by Lord John Russell. Not content with obtaining the place which he exacted—for that is the word—from Lord Palmerston, he must needs insist on certain other parties being in the Cabinet, and in particular Places, too, whether Lord Palmerston would or would not. We mentioned the other day that, in utter disregard of all sense of propriety, Lord John Russell insisted on Sir John Romilly, his Woolsack, though being elevated to the though he knew that Lord Palmerston was not only in favour of Sir Richard Bethell, but had all but promised the office to the learned gentleman. It was in order to shut the mouth of Lord John on this subject, that the Premier gave the Great Seal to Lord Campbell—a man eighty years of age. Then, again, it is to the pressure put on Lord Pal• merston by Lord John Russell, that the Duke of Somerset has been appointed to the Admiralty—a situation for which the Noble Duke is not fitted, either by naval intelligence, general capacity, or temper. In short, Lord John Russell has prac tically assumed the functions of Premier in the formation of the New Ministry. No one knows 'what Lord Palmerston has already had to endure from the officiousness and dictatorial manner of the member for the City of London. We have said, on various occasions, that no Ministry would be likely to last six weeks in which Lord John Russell occu pied an important place ; and we venture to say that, from his experience during the last few days, Lord Palmerston is now of the sa me opinion.— Advertiser.

(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Special Jury.) COLLINS V. BROOKS. This is an action of damages for slander in the Law Times, imputing perjury to the plaintiff. The defendant, in the course of the trial, by his counsel, to-day, offered to withdraw the libelous words, and take a verdict for costs. The plaintiff refused. The damages are laid at £5OO. Cross actions have arisen out of this case, and remain for trial. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £175. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before ➢lr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE RUSSELL.-JUDGMENT ON CERTIFICATE. This bankrupt was described as of Aldersgate-street, stationer. His Honour now gave judgment on the question of cer tificate. The facts of the case have been already reported, and the question before the commissioner was whether there had been reckless and improvident trading, and also whether he had induced creditors to give credit or enlarge time for payment, by fraudulent pretences. His Honour considered that imprudent trading might be attributed to the bankrupt, but no fraudulent representa tion had been made out, and the bankrupt might take an immediate certificate of the second class. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE 130DDY. This bankrupt was described as of Ramsgate, furniture broker, and applied for his certificate. Mr. Bagley opposed ; Mr. Downing (Messrs. George and Downing) for the bankrupt. The case has been before the Court and reported on seve ral occasions. His Honour, after a further examination of the bankrupt as to the removal of property, said that he considered that the charges made had not been sustained, and should grant an immediate certificate of the second class. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell.) ARSON. James Scanes, 58, smith, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a workshop, with intent to defraud the Phcenix Fire office and other persons. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. _ _ The case was totally uninteresting, and occupied the court the whole of the day. No decision had been arrived at when our report left. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) ATTEMPTING TO STAB. James Acocks, 18, clerk, was indicted for unlawfully attempting to stab John Elias Smith, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. _ _ _ Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, a managing clerk to a firm in Blackmoor-street, Borough, said the prisoner had been employed in the same office. In consequence of a difference he (prisoner) quitted the office. After that he imagined that he (prosecutor) had injured him, and on the 14th of last May he entered the office with a knife in his hand and threatened to stab him, as he said he had been ruined. He brandished the weapon about, and seemed in a very excited state. He was eventually secured and conveyed to the station-house. Charles Williams, in the employ of an ironmonger in Great Dover-road, said the prisoner entered the shop pre vious to this occurrence, and asked to be shown some knives fit for killing pigs. He was told there was nothing of that kind in stock. He was then shown some bread-knives, and he selected one which he said would suit if it was sharpened up. This was accordingly done, and he paid for the article and left the shop. He did not appear at all excited, or he would not have been served with such an instrument. Thomas Sparrow, a police-constable, said he took the prisoner into custody. On the way to the station-house he said he wished he had had strength enough to have done it, and he was sorry ho had not finished the job. At the sta,- tion, Mr. Smith asked if he intended to murder him ? He replied, " Yes." Maria Acocks, mother of the prisoner, said her son, ever since he 'had suffered from typhus fever, had imagined his joints were out of place. Only two or three months ago he attempted to kill his sister. He frequently cursed her for bringing him into the world with such a weak intellect. His father's brother died in a lunatic asylum. The prisoner on several occasions had rushed from the house and walked about for many hours during the night to cool his head, as he used to say. Charles Acocks, father of the prisoner, gave similar evi dence. He did not think his unfortunate son was fit to be at large. The landlady of the house in which the prisoner resided was of a similar opinion. Mr. Gibson, surgeon to the Gaol of Newgate, said he had had his attention drawn to the prisoner's case. He had examined him closely, and found him suffering from muscular weakness, which was always associated with mental weakness. He had carefully observed his manner, conduct, and walk, and it was his decided opinion that he was of unsound mind, and that he was not a person fit to be at large. Mr. Green, a surgeon, was of a different opinion. From what he had seen, when the prisoner had consulted him professionally, he thought him more bad than mad. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, on the ground of insanity. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) BURGLARY. John Fitzgerald, 24, labourer, was convicted of a bur glary in the house of Isaac Bullivant, and stealing therefrom coats and other articles to the value of £l5. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to four years' penal servitude. SECONDARIES COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) TAYLOR V. PRIOR.-WINE BROKERS AND AUCTION SALES. This was an action to recover £3-10s. of an old balance, and £2 10s. commission for buying at a public sale. Mr. Clarke, of Bedford-row, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lisle for the defendant, who is a clergyman of the Church of England. The facts of the case appeared to be that, upon a certain day, Messrs. Wynn and Co., the well-known wine brokers, held a public sale at their rooms. Plaintiff, who is also a wine broker, having acted in a similar manner on previous occasions, was waited upon by defendant, and instructed to attend the sale to buy on defendant's behalf. On the day before the sale, plaintiff and defendant went to Messrs. Wynn's room and tasted a quantity of samples, defendant marking down on paper a list of those approved by him. Acting up to that list, plaintiff purchased, but defendant had refused to be bound by those biddings, and now plaintiff sought to recover his commission. Mr. Clarke stated that persons who employed wine brokers generally fared better than if they purchased as personal bidders. Mr. Taylor said that he distinctly told defendant, during , the biddings, that such and such lots had been knocked down to him, but defendant most emphatically denied it. One of the jury asked Mr. Taylor if ho had the list marked by defendant, but plaintiff said it was destroy"' soon after the sale. The name of Prior, however, web appended to various lots in the printed catalogue. The learned Secondary having summed up, the jury found for plaintiff for £2 10s., defendant having most positively sworn that he had paid the 10s. balance of account. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A NICE MoznEn.—Elizabeth Cornwall, of 31, Rupert street, who appeared at the bar with an infant in her arms, was charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting Robert Parsons, errand boy, 2.5, Rupert-street, and also police-con stable Samuel Howes, 31 C. From the evidence of the constable it appeared that on the previous evening about seven the prisoner was creating a great disturbance in the street, unfastening her dress, and exposing herself in a disgraceful way; so much so, indeed, that a female pulled her into her shop and pinned something round her in such a manner that she could not repeat the act. Howes, 31 C, came up and tried to get her away, but could not, and for full half an hour the street was in a complete uproar. Finding he could not get her away, he called the lad Parsons to his assistance, who, with a postman, who also assisted in taking her to the station house, as well as himself, were all kicked several times by her ; her conduct altogether being of the worst description. The constable further stated that she was in the habit of carrying a child about with her in a state of nudity, while find him her best fri en d, state of intoxication. s a h n eM d w c r o .a m ß's iminiligtalltesaataillher for a month. THAMES. LEAD STEALING. -- Robert Allen, a , labourer, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a quan tity of sheet lead, the property of Mr. Percy Poole, a mea sure manufacturer, in the Isle of Dogs, Poplar. It appeared from the evidence of a lad named James Bridge, in the employ of the prosecutor, that yesterday evening a watchman in the service of Mr. Poole called his attention to the prisoner, and said he was leaving the fac tory with so me l ead in h i s possess i o n. He stopped the pri soner, and a s k e d h i m what h e h a d got about him. The prisoner and im t m hr e e d w ia i t t el u y po t n oo t k he s gr om o e und lea . dHoe gave ehthise prisoner pocket into custody.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock, at which hour there was a very full attendance. On the entrance of Lord Campbell several peers shook hands with the noble and learned lord. Lord Derby entered the house a few minutes after five, and immediately entered into conversation with the Lord Chancellor on the wool sack. On perceiving Lord Campbell be took off his hat and bowed to his lordship. • THE MINISTERIAL EXPLANATION. The Earl of DERBY said—Perhaps, before the house proceeded to the business of the evening, their lordships would indulge him for a few minutes. (Hear, hear) He hardly thought it necessary to say that, after the decision the House of Commons had arrived at en Friday evening no alternative was left to the Govern ment but to tender her Majesty its resignation, as the result of the vote of want of confidence. The majority was not large, but as it was taken in .one of the largest houses on record, it was impossible not to bow to the deci. sion. As the vote was not founded on any specific act, foreign or domestic, but founded purely on a political question, he was relieved from entering into any vindication of his political conduct as he was satisfied to leave that to the calm consideration of the country and posterity. (Hear.) With respect to my noble friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs he considered it his duty to say after a perusal of the papers he had laid on the table relative to the war, it would be found that he had carried out as far as possible the statement in her Majesty's speech, that every effort, had been made to maintain peace, and also a strict and impartial neutrality. What ever aspersion had or might be thrown out against him. would be fully answered in those papers, In accordance with the vote the Government had tendered its resignation to her Majesty, and her Majesty had graciously been pleased to accept that resignation, and the present Mi nistry only held office until their successors:were appointed. It was a matter of congratulation that that would not be for any length of time. He had that afternoon just returned from thanking her Majesty for the confidence she had placed in him, and taking leave of her as First Minister of the Crown. Before he sat down he would take that opportunity to refer to an event which had given him great pain. Their lordships must feel that if there was any circumstance that should be kept inviolable, it was the eonver s ation between the Sovereign and statesmen during what was called a Ministerial crisis. His surprise and pain was caused by seeing on Monday morning, in the columns of the Times, that which purported to be a lengthened account of what took place between her Majesty and the noble earl opposite (Granville). He acquitted the nobe lord of any want of judgment in the matter, but there had been some who must have been in the confidence of the noble earl who had most grossly abused it. He would not further occupy their lordships at this moment than to say that it would be a pleasure to him to give the Ministry of which the noble earl formed a part on every occasion possible his cordial assistance and support. He should therefore move as a matter of convenience to the noble earl, that the house at its rising should adjourn till Tuesday next. Earl GRANVILLE said he regretted the circumstance as much as the noble lord, and he hoped he would believe that he (Earl Granville) was as much surprised as he was. (Hear.) After he had waited on her Majesty and received her most gracious command to form an adminis tration he certainly had mentioned the circumstance to a few political friends, and he now very much regretted he had net observed greater reserve. He begged to thank the noble lord for the sentiments he had expressed with respect to the Government of his noble friend. Lord BROUGHAM implored the new Ministry to ob serve a strict neutrality with regard to both France, Aus tria, and Sardinia. The motion for the adjournment of the house was then agreed to. DEBTOR AND CREDITOR BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. THE COMPANIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tnis EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock, and there was a very numerous attendance of members. Mr. P. URQUHART took the oaths and his seat for West meath. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Several private bills were advanced a stage in conformity with the sessional order of the late Parliament, and the following bills were read a third time and passcd : Atlantic Telegragh Company (No. 2) ; Birkenhead, Lan cashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway; Border Counties Railway; Border Union (North British) Railway ; Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway ; Caledonian Rail way; Carlisle and Penrith, &c., Roads; Castle Douglas and Dumfries Railway; Caterham Railway; Central Wales Railway; Charing Cross Railway (New Title) ; Charleston Railway and Harbour ; Dundee and New tyle Railway; East Kent Railway Company; Forth and Clyde Navigation ; Gateshead Quay; Great North of Scotland Railway; Great Western Rail way ; Hampstead Junction Railway ; Herne Bay and Faversham Railway (Margate Extension) ; Hertford, Luton, and Dunstable Railway ; Kingston-upon- Thames Gas ; Llanidloes and Newtown Railway; London and North Western and other Railway Companies (Working and Traffic Arrangements) ; London and l'ierth •Western Railway (Edgehill to Gar ston) ; London and South-Western Railway ; London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway; Lymington Railway; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (station at Manchester) ; Maybole and Girvan Railway ; Merthyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway; Mid-Wales Rail way; Mountsorrel Railway; Much-Wenlotk and Severn Junction Railway ; North British and Selkirk and Galashiels Railway Companies ; North-Eastern Rail way (Kidd Valley Branch) ; Portsmouth and London and South-Western Railway Companies; Reading and Hatfield Road ; Red Sea and IndiEt Telegraph Company (No. 2) ; Salford Borough (No. 2) ; Sirhowy Tramroad ; South Wales, Pembroke, and Tenby Junction Railway ; Tenbury Railway ; Timed Fisheries ; Tyne Im provement; Vale of Llangollen Railway; Vale of Neath Railway; Wansbeck Railway; Warrington and Stockport Railway; Wear Navigation and Sunderland Docks; Wir ral Water; and Worcester and Hereford Railway.

Mr. WHITESIDE gave notice that on the 30th June he would move for leave to bring in a bill to consolidate the statute laws of England and Ireland. INDIA. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India whether he had not received a report on civil establishments and salaries throughout India by Mr. Henry Ricketts, and what steps it was proposed to take in accordance with the recommendations thereof ? Lord STANLEY said the report in question had been received, but without any expression on the part of the Indian Government as to its contents. It was thought de sirable that there should be such an expression of opinion, and the Government at Calcutta had been communicated with on the subject, but no answer had yet been received. With referAnce to the second question, he believed a bill on the subject had been introduced by the Indian Go vernment. RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—l think it is only respectful to the house that I should formally announce, what they already know, namely, that in consequence of the late vote the house was pleased to arrive at, Lord Derby and his colleagues felt it their duty to tender their resignation. Her Majesty had been graci ously pleased to accept that resignation of their offices. We, therefore, hold office only until our successors are appointed, and I am enabled to state that the noble lord the member for Tiverton received to form a Ministry which I am also enabled to state he has succeeded in doing. I think it would be most convenient to the noble lord that the house should adjourn till Tuesday next, when the new writs can be issued, and if any further adjournment be necessary it can be used by our successors in office. He concluded by moving that the house at its rising do adjourn till Tuesday next. The motion was agreed to. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. Colonel FORESTER appeared at the bar and read the reply of her Most Gractious Gracious Majesty to the Address of the house. On the motion of Sir S.

AUSTRIAN OBSTINACY. (From the 7 7 mes.) No feature of national character is more remark able than the inveterate obstinacy of Austria. It is unnecessary to call to mind the wars against the French Republic and Empire, except to show how completely the nature of the Monarchy remains the same, and how, while every other State in the world has admitted the notions of popular right, the claims of nationality and race, and the neces sity of yielding to the strong and permanent in stincts of the governed, the Court of Vienna still takes its ground on the strict letter of treaties, and meets an adversary with the unanswerable, and yet unavailing, logic of the international lawyers We propose to give a few extracts from the con versations and despatches of Austrian statesmen, which will enable the public to form some notion of the Power the British Cabinet has had to deal with. When the tone of Count Buol and his Imperial Master are considered, and when it is remembered that they had under their orders a vast army in possession of the strongest fortresses of Italy, it will be allowed that it was a difficult task for the Cabinet of Lord Derby to persuade them to sur render what they deemed their rights, and to counsel the abandonment of a system which they never doubted their ability to enforce. The confidence and the quiet hauteur of the Austrian Government through these negotiations are EL study for politicians. If these great diplomatic qualities he d only been supported by military success, the history of these transactions would be most gratifying to Austrian self-esteem. It is impossible to imagine anything more firm and yet moderate, more chivalrous and yet sober, more argumentative and yet courteous, than the answers of Count Buol to every inquiry of Lord A. Loftus. The British Minister has given a summary of seve ral of these conversations with an evident accuracy and a perception of the speaker's character which are creditable to his abilities, and the despatches in which they are contained are perhaps the most entertaining documents in the Italian blue-book. We know enough of Frenchmen and French poli ticians; we know beforehand that commonplaces about the " mission of France" and "marching at the head of civilisation" will make up the staple of an ordinary Parisian Minister's harangues. But the Viennese mind has not been so thoroughly studied, and the following paragraphs, which relate to an early conversation between Count Buol and Lord A. Loftus, enable us to observe some of its workings. It must be premised that Lord Malmes bury had written to the British Minister to the effect that little sympathy for Austria prevailed in England ; that the Cabinet could not shut its eyes to the misgovernment of Central Italy—the Papal States especially—and that, though war would in their opinion add to the existing evils, yet the best thing for Austria would be to take counsel with France for a common action in the Peninsula. Count Buol " expressed himself as fully sensible of the kind and friendly motives which had moved her Majesty's Government to offer their advice and counsel at the present critical moment, and he appreciated the cordial and sincere interest which they evinced for Austria. But he could not conceal from me his fears that the opinions set forth in your Lordship's despatch might produce more harm than good, if these same views and opinions had been likewise expressed at Paris and Turin. In fact,' said his Excellency, ' I regret that you have read that despatch to me ; I regret, also, that it has been written. If you wish to preach peace and to prevent war, address yourselves with firmness to France and Piedmont. We are not meditating war ; we shall not be the aggressors. Tell the Emperor Louis Napoleon that Great Britain will not look passively on if His Majesty should com mence hostilities. Say to him that, should he take such a course, it would be at his own risk and peril. On the other hand, warn King Victor Emmanuel that England will not sanction any act of wilfu aggression undertaken in full peace by Piedmont against Austria. If Great Britain is prepared to hold this language no war will arise." We have given this speech at length, because we believe it is the key to much of what has since happened. There can hardly be a doubt that, in spite of the declarations of neutrality made by the Government at an early period of the discus sions,—declarations loudly and peremptorily de manded by the people,—yet the feeling, not only at Vienna, but at Dresden, Munich, and Berlin, was that a war on the Continent would not last many weeks without England taking a part in it against France. The notion was, that England would see with such extreme jealousy the legion of France passing their own frontier, that, putting aside all considerations of abstract right, and abandoning the doctrine of neutrality as cowardly and base, we should use the whole strength of our armies, ou fleets, and our Exchequer, for the preservation o Central Europe. All history, however, shows how difficult it is to draw a nation into a quarrel which cannot be proved to concern itself immediately. There was, indeed, the notable example of our war against Revolutionary France to the contrary; but generally, though a people will go to war for a speck of land in a tropical sea, because they con sider it their own, they will hardly move to defend the dearest interests of another community, espe cially if it has obtained a character for selfishness and double•dealing. The Austrian politicians may ow well excuse England for not going toercw am t s h o help their armies in Italy when they p slowly even their nearest allies, the German States, respond to their earnest and reiterated calls. But not only would not Count Buol listen to ad vice respecting reforms in the Austrian provinces, but he would not promise to refrain from in terference with the independent States of Cen tral Italy. "If your Excellency," continued Lord Augustus Loans, " gives me the assurance that in no case will Austria move a soldier across her frea tier in Italy without previous concert with France, then I shall consider that a war may be averted." " No," said Count Buol, " I cannot give you that assurance, for it would be a surrender of our sove reign power. We shall not interfere in any State unless our aid is ask ed for, and in that case it will be granted ; and the knowledge that it will be granted is the best preservative of order." The Count then added " that the agitation and excite ment had greatly subsided in Lombardy since the Austrian reinforcements had arrived, and that he did not entertain the same fear as that with which her Majesty's Government were impressed of a dis turbance arising in Italy." We may ask what was to be done with a Power so confident and unyield inr, as this ? What use would it have been to p reach to Count Buol of the strength of the French armies, their excellent organisation, the resources of France for carrying on a war, and the certainty that a liberating force would be received with enthusiasm by the Italian people P The Austrian Court per sisted in its equality with France ; the French did not deny this equality, and it only remained for a British Government to treat both parties with respect, and endeavour to keep the peace by reminding each of its duties to Europe. But the notion that it was England's true policy to defend Austria if attacked by France could not be eradicated from the minds of the Austrian Cabinet. At the end of January Count Buol still harps on the same string. He wonders how it is that France should undertake to defend Sardinia, and that England should refuse the same kind office for his own country :- 0 He could not un derstand how England could remain neutral if France and Sardinia were unjustly and without provocation to attack Austria." But still, while claiming the assistance of Prussia, Germany, and England, the Austrians do not bate a jot of their high pretensions. They maintain their right to protectorate over Central Italy, not only in their communications with England, but by the mouth of M. Hubner at Paris. Count Walewski had warned the Austrian Government "against the complications which might arise from unforeseen incidents, meaning the interference of Austria in the internal affairs of the other Italian States.' Count Buol answers in his old style, that "Pied mont is far more likely to give rise to unforeseen incidents than Austria, and it is to Piedmont, there fore, that the advice of the French Government should be directed. He calls to mind the treaties, offensive and defensiue, which Austria has with the , w Hasse says, theistance D mi u g c h h t ies ob o li f g P o aArmuastrainad toMogdoentao of either of those States ; but he intimates the belief that the Governments are strong enough in themselves not to require external aid." We shall add but one more extract, and it is taken from a despatch of Lord A. Loftus, dated February the 24th, and at a time when the full danger of the war had been made manifest to every mind : " We shall not enter into any conference on Italian affairs. We have no need to negotiate with France for the withdrawal of our troops from the Roman States. Our compact was with the Pope. We entered those States without any previous arrange ment with France, and we can leave them in like manner." When thin was the spirit of the Aus trian Court during the first two months of the dis pute, we may wel?appreciate our own Government's difficulties in dealing with the question, and it is not a little to the credit of Lord Cowley that by his representations lie succeeded in obtaining Francis Joseph's consent to some important conces sions. The French Emperor seems to have thought that the obstinacy of Austria would be proof against all the reasoning of the English Envo , and to have made his propositions in full confidence that they would •be rejected. When, however, it be came evident that Austria was disposed to accept the friendly mediation of this country, and to abate the arrogance of her tone, recourse wwashad to the Russian juggle of a Congress, and the Europe wee finally sacrificed. peace of BREVET.
