MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales were 7,000 bales, 1,000 on speculation, comprising, in addition to American, 300 Pernam and Maranham 6d. to 74d., 400 Egyptian 51d. to 61d., and 1,000 Surats 3l i d. to 41d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was quiet, at a decline of nearly x per cent. on the leading stocks. The Paris Bourse closed last week with firmness. The prices of the French Three per Cents., as com pared with the preceding week, were well sup ported, though dealings for money on Saturday evening were entered into at 5 centimes less than the previous day. The animation which marked the business of the week had begun to diminish, yet the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock was firm at an improvement of 25c. both for money and the account. In the Railway and other share markets speculators had done a good business. The receipts from the principal lines for the week continued to be satisfactory, and showed an increase on the cor responding week of 1854. Trade generally was brisk. The Morateur [of Saturday states that the Council of Administration of the Credit Foncier of France considered it necessary that the statutes of that establishment required some modification since its last organisation. A commission has been appointed by the Minister of Finance to examine the reports which have been submitted weekly to the Council of State, consisting of Messrs. Fourmes, Director-General of Records and Domains, Presi dent ; Serveux, General Secretary of Finance ; Vandal, Director-General of Customs ; Delefine, Director-General of Accounts; Chouri, Andouville, and Chappeas, Inspector-General of Finances. In addition to a new issue of 10-franc gold pieces, the French mint have resolved to coin 5- franc gold pieces, both of new designs. The New York advices state that the stock mar ket there was in an unsettled state, but good divi dend paying railway and other undertakings ruled firm, and were in request. No material alteration has occurred in the money market, and a good supply was expected to exist during the business season. From California we learn that the mines were yielding well. The crops promised abundantly, and business prospects were improving. The intelligence from Mexico reports that Gene ral Albarez had resigned, and Comonfort was to be his successor. Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope state that, notwithstanding the tightness of the money market, trade at Graham's Town was tolerably steady. The scarcity of specie was, of course, se verely felt. Large quantities of wool continued to arrive in the town, which were sent either in exchange to supply immediate wants, or, other wise, as remittances to country dealers. The market was well attended, and a fair business was being transacted. _ The wheat trade is rather active to-day, and prices are 2s. higher than on Monday last. All other articles are steady. There is less animation in the Stock Market to day, and the quotations, unsupported by any im portant money purchases, show symptoms of weak ness, being k to / per cent. lower. Consols have been 88i for money, and 88a I for account. Ex chequer Bills are 7s. to 3s. discount, and India Bonds 2s. discount. The New 3 per Cents. are 88k 1, and the Reduced 871 /. Bank Stock is 2071 to 2081. _ _ The Foreign Stock Market, though quiet, pre sents a steady appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents. have further advanced fully 1 per cent. After having been 80, 80k, to 80k, they are now 81g. The New Scrip has not moved in the same direc tion, being 3k and 3 dis. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 38i to 382-, the New Deferred 20, the Passive 61, and the Certificates 4i. Peruvian Active Bonds are firm at 75k. Equador are 4/, and Mexican 3 per Cents. 75k. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i to 71 ; Mexican, 191 to -a ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 53 to 55; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 98 ; , ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish New Deferred, 19i to 20i ; ditto Three per Cents., 38 to ; ditto Certificates, 41 to 4a ; ditto Pas si ve, 6 to 6k. There have been rather limited transactions in Railway Shares, but they have generally main tained previous rates. The Foreign and Colonial lines are particularly dull. Mining Shares are without alteration. Banking Shares continuo in favour, and Canada Land are firmer.

SURREY THEATRE. —The last new piece produced at this theatre, namely, Love and Honour, or Soldiers at Horne and Heroes ._broad, bids fair to rival in popularity the celebrated Surrey drama of Black. Eyed Susan. The drama has been put upon the stage with g. proper recog nition of the place of action and its precise aspect, both scenery and costumes evincing the carefulness that in variably characterises the management of Messrs. Cres wick and Sheppard. The interesting drama, The Flower Girl, or the Convict Marquise, still continues highly attractive. The " houses " during the past week have been immense. The 47th auction of the foreign redeemable debt of Spain is to take place at Madrid on the 30th inst., for which purpose 375,000 reales have been assigned by the Government. Tenders will be received by the Spanish Financial Commission in London until the 21st inst. The full Russian report of the battle of Kars is pub lished in the lnvalide Russe of the 9th of November. It says that the Russians took 23 cannon, but could only carry away four ; that they took 14 flags. SHARE MARKETS, (THIS DAY.) RAILWAYS. RitLvrvre. ...... tmbg. Nottng. Post. and Eastn. Junet...

M'LAREN. CORN EXCHANGE. There was an improved demand!for wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices advanced le to 2s per quarter. Barley changed hands freely, at an improvement of fully is per quarter. Oats were dull, but all other articles were in good request, at very full prices. Our latest advices from the United States bring high rates for grain and flour, with an active export inquiry. The continental markets are very firm, as to price. Very limited supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. TheSimports amounted to 5,699 qrs. of wheat, 15,193 oats, 602 beans, 1,326 peas, 23 tares, 10,336 linseed, 5,248 rapeseed, 37 mustard seed, .231 stin t dry seed, and 12,881 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise, from Essex and Kent, was short. By land carriage the supply was moderate. The stands were rather scantily filled with samples, and the demand for all kinds, not withstanding th a t th e attendance: of mil lers was not to say extensive, but somewhat at an advance in the prices paid on Monday last of 2s per quarter. The general weight and condition of the samples were toler ably good. The show of fresh foreign wheat was very limited, and the number of samples in the market ex-granary was but moderate. Most descriptions were firm, and, in some in stances, ls. per quarter more money was realised for fine red and white qualities. Floating cargoes of grain were held on higher terms. We were scantily supplied with beth English and fo reign barley, and the trade was active at from is to 2s per quarter more money. Malt was in short supply, and good request, at very full prices. We were heavily supplied with Irish and foreign oats, and the demand for them ruled inactive. Damp qualities were rather lower to purchase. Beans and peas were in fair supply, and moderate re quest, at last week's quotations. Wo had a good sale for flour, at very full prices. CURRENCY PER INIPERIAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex & Kent, Malt —Chevalier •• .. 78s to 80s Rod •• •• new 664 to 80sjOats Yorkshire and This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a females to recover of the defendant, a green-grocer, of the Lon don-road, the sum of 301., advanced by her to the de fendant when she was under age. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that she and her mother were persons in humble circumstances, and that about 12 months since they each received 2441. under legacies bequeathed to them. Her mother paid the defendant 2001.,7and in May last the plaintiff advanced to the defendant 301. with which to purchase some fur niture, and it was for that sum the present action was brought. For the defendant it was contended that the 2001. was paid by the mother to the defendant for the expense of her maintenance for a period of 10 years, during which time she had lived with him and his family, and that the 301. claimed was a sum of money given him by the plaintiff for his kindness to his mother. No memorandum or security was given for the advance of the money, and it was insinuate - 1 that the present action would not have been brought had not an estrangement taken place between the plaintiff and defendant's son. Letters were, however, read from the plaintiff to defendant asking him for the money, she and her mother being again in indigent circumstances. Ver dict by consent for plaintiff for 301., and the defendant, by the direction of the learned judge, was taken into custody for gross and wilful perjury.

Although the quality of those arri vals is good, the dead weight of the Irish beasts and sheep still forms a subject of complaint. The foreign stock at hand since Monday last has been in very low condition. There was a fair average supp'y of foreign stock on sale in to-day's market. The show of Irish stock, via Liver pool amounted to 500 beasts, and 1,300 sheep, in good condition. As the supply of English beasts fresh up to-day was con siderably on the increase, and as the receipts of dead moat up to Newgato and Leadenball were rather extensive, we had a very dull market for beasts, and all breeds were fully 2d per Sibs lower than on Monday last. The extensive figure for the best Scots was 4s 100 per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton. shire, we received 2,600 short-horns, from other parts of England 350 of various breeds, and from Scotland 40 Soots. Tho show of English sheep was again limited, of foreign moderate. The mutton trade was very dull, at fully 2d per Blbs beneath the currencies obtained on this day so'nnight. The highest figure for Downs was 5s por 81bs. With calves we were but moderately supplied, yet the veal trade was heavy, at a reduction of 2d por Sibs. The top quotation was 4s 101 por Blbs.

The Paris Pays, on Saturday, published a long letter from St. Petersburg concerning the internal condition of Russia. The following extracts will be found highly interesting : " St. Petersburg, Nov. 4.—Russia is very sick. The most short-sighted cannot but see the evil and the preci pice, which deepens daily. All men feel the want of a speedy peace, but no one dares give utterance to his thoughts. The Grand Duke Constantine, some time since, in a council of war, made a most singular propo sition—namely, to arm and equip the whole fleet of Cronstadt, Revel, and Sweaborg, to embark 20,000 men of picked troops, to make sail at a propitious hour, to force a passage through the allied squadrons, or await their departure, and the moment they left the Baltic to effect a landing in Scotland or England. "Rather than perish with his men in the basins of Cronstadt, was it not better to attempt to strike terror at London, which he hoped to enter with his 20,000 men, without meeting any serious opposition on the way 'I Certainly, the plan was bold and even practica ble, and on due examination there was a chance of suc cess, especially if the vigilance of the allied fleets could be deceived. For a nrnnent he gained over the Empe ror, and even the advisers of the Crown, to his views. If it did perish, at all events the Russian fleet would have wiped out the reproach of cowardice which was pointed at it from all sides, even in Germany. The Empre-s most energetically opposed the enterprise, which might compromise the safety of St. Pe• tersburg itself. The Russian armies had enough to occupy them without depriving themselves of 20,000 soldiers and as many sailors, which might one day be wanted to defend the Baltic coast. The Emperor hearkened to the advice of his wife, and disapproved his brother's plan. It is, however, said that he has again resumed it. His idee fuze appears to be that he could sack and burn London, or bury himself and his troops under the smoking ruins of the first commercial city of the world. "In Europe, 'and especially in France, strange no tions are entertained of the military strength of Russia. Her million of soldiers, with reserve millions to fill up the ranks, are believed in. Doubtless they exist ; she has a million of soldiers under arms ; she may recruit another million among her 60,000,000 of inhabitants, spread over an enormous territory of not less than 3,000 leagues from east to west, and 1,000 from north to south. But her available army in the field does not exceed 400,000 or 500,000. The remainder, veterans, Cossacks, Bashkirs, &c., are 'quite unfit for active ser vice. It takes a long time to make the Russian soldier ; he is heavy, clumsy, and idle. He learns only because he is compelled to do so. After 10 years he is net up in his exercise. A. Russian army of 100,000 or 200,000 men destroyed by the sword, famine, disease, and sickness is an army which the Czar cannot replace. It will take him ten years to make another. The recruits will not be of any use to him ; on the contrary they will be drags upon the divisions in which they are incor porated, and will spoil the uniformity of the regiment. Thus the best way to finish with Russia is to kill as many Russians as possible. The Czar knows the weak part of his cuirass, and if be orders great levies it is be cause he has suffered great losses. The losses since the commencement of the war are estimated at 303,000 men. Do so many remain to him of that magnificent army, which it took his father 31 years to form It is doubtful. " Since the winter season has set in and nothing serious is to be feared on the Baltic side St. Petersburg is more calm. " Some weeks since an American engineer arrived at St. Petersburg with a cannon of his invention, capable, it is said, of doing tremendous damage. He was ad mitted at once to show his invention to the Emperor, and orders have been issued to the foundry at St. Peters burg to prepare everything for a trial At the same time a model, in wood, was sent to Slataoust in the Ural to have a cast made. It is said that the range of this gun, which is oblique, is more than 4,000 metres, which, if true, would exceed anything hitherto known. A new musket is also spoken of. The foundries at Slataoust and Toula are to furnish 90,000 by next May. Jacobi, the inventor of the submarine infernal machines, has, it is said, discove r ed th e means o f th row i n g ongreve rockets and other projectiles to an enormous distance, and great success is expected from them against the fleets. The Government has placed the arsenal and foundry of St. Petersburg at the professor's disposal to make his experiments. Bedford and Bletchley Buckghamsli. Clydesdale Jc. Col. Stour Vy. Sud. and Hal.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a gentle man, residing at Birmingham, against the defendant, a licensed victualler of the same place, and it appeared from the opening address of Sergeant Wilkins that the action was originally brought to recover 245/. of the defendant,i a stake holder on the Derby, in which Wild Dayrell was the winner, but as 951. bad been paid into court the plaintiff now sued for the balance. The plaintiff, preparatory to the race, laid various bets against various horses, and at the re quest of the parties he covered his bets and placed the money in the hands of the defendant. A few days before the race the plaintiff discovered that he had made a bet with a person named Hitchson, and not Price, as he supposed, and on the Sunday after he informed the de fendant that unless Hitchson covered his stake before 6 o'clock of that day he should consider the bet as off. Hitchson did not cover his bet by the appointed time, and the plaintiff desired the defendant to scratch it. Before the race was run plaintiff gave the defendant a list of the persons with whom be had bets (omitting that of Hitcbson), who, in the event of his losing, were to be paid the stakes. The defendant had thought proper to pay'Hitchson, and it was in consequence of that that the present action arose. The case was proceeding when our despatch left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) SOUTHWARK. ROBBERY SY A SERVANT.—JOII7I, Parkin, a labourer in the employ of Enoch Lewis, cowkeeper, of 18, Ber mondsey-street, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing a coat, the property of his master. The prosecutor said that the prisoner had worked for him several years, and on Sunday evening was in the wash-house where witness had left his coat. Shortly afterwards he had occasion to go into the back premises, when he missed the prisoner and his coat also. He di rectly gave information to the police, and in the course of the night it was discovered that the prisoner had sold the coat to a man in Kent-street, and meeting him shortly afterwards he gave him into custody. William Young, a general dealer in Kent-street, said the prisoner came to him on Sunday night and sold him the coat produced for a shilling. He said his name was John Smith, and that he was a labourer in distress. The prisoner having been cautioned by the magistrate, pleaded guilty to the offence. The prosecutor informed his worship that he could not account for the prisoner committing the robbery, as he had been in his employ 15 years, and never had been in trouble before. Mr. A'Beckett took his prior good conduct into con sideration, and sentenced him to twenty-one days' hard labour at Wandsworth, under the "New Criminal Jus tice Act." A SINGULAR CHARACTER.—MichaeI Gavin, a smart looking Irish tailor, was charged with being drunk and riotous in the streets. The charge was clearly proved by Police-constable 73 M, who saw him turned out of a public-house on Sunday night, when ho refused to go home, and wanted to fight everybely. Mr. A'Beckett (to the prisoner)—Will you promise to keep sober for the future ? Prisoner—No, your Worship, I can't do that, any how, so you must not ax me. Mr. A ; Beekett—Why can't you keep sober ? Prisoner—Why, I'll tell you. No one can keep sober in this blessed countiy, for there are so many induce ments to drink strong liquors. Mr. A'Beckett—Well, if you will not promise to keep sober, I must fine you seven shill►ngs, or seven days' imprisonment, for being drunk and riotous. Prisoner (laughing heartily)—Thank you, sir. I'll SOO4 pay the money, but I won't promise to keep sober. I can't do that. Mr. A'Beckett—You must take care of yourself, for if you are brought before me a;ain on such evidence you will be punished with more severity. SPORTING NOTES. SOMETHING ABOUT SHREWSBUR Y . The Shrewsbury programme is really a m arvel of tact and ingenuity. The care bestowed on its compilation and the judgment with which the different items have been distributed are alone sufficient to command success for the meeting. Ido not pretend to a knowledge of the "charms and mighty magic" which Mr. Frail has employed to insure such large entries as those he has obtained. This fact is, however, patent : he has esta blished a most important meeting at a period of year most unfavourable to horse-racing ; and, what is more, an increasing success and a widening popularity attends his undertaking. The gathering, which will commence to-morrow and terminate on Thursday, is likely to be unusually numerous; and from the reports which I have received of horses .02 route, I am inclined to believe that the fields will equal, if not exceed, in numerical strength those of last year. "Good things," too, will doubt less be abundant enough ; and fortunate will be the man who discovers them. At present I must plead total ignorance on the subject ; my opinion, therefore, on the probable result of the races must be regulated only by the known merit of the probable competitors, and without reference to private arringements or money-getting motives. Fifty-five animals of various degrees of merit are weighted for the Shrewsbury Han dicap. On examining the list the attention is arrested by the names of Mishap, Homily, Titterstone, Panto mime, Pole Star, Fanny Fern, and Yorkshire Grey. Whether these animals are "intended," I of course possess no present means of ascertaining ; but ` could I calculate upon a start I should be in clined to stand on" Mishap and Pole Star. For the Aristocratic Plate I shall select Eulogist. The Chicken, Brother to Grey Tommy, Lord Alfred, Foxhunter, and The Cropper constitute a formidable lot for the Column Handicap. Of these the last three mentioned are entitled to the, first consideration. For the Copeland Handicap I am informed that Maid of the Miil is, in the significant language of the turf, "a real good thing." On principle I shall not pronounce judgment on the Steeple Chases. Nov. 12. A FRESII MAN. MR. G. V. BROOKE IN SYDNEY. —We see by the Syd ney papers that Mr. G. V. Broke took his farewell benefit at the Royal Victoria Theatre, on Wednesday, the 13th of July. He chose for his last character Pierce O'Hara, in the farce of the Irish Attorney, or Galway Practice in 1770. At the fall of the curtain he was en thusiastically called for, and in earnest language ex pressed his thanks for the warmth of his reception in Australia, and the pleasure which he anticipated when, in the course of a few months he hoped to re-appear in Sydney. The vaudeville of the Loan of a Lover suc ceeded, in which Mr. Coppin and Miss Fanny Cathcart performed the characters of Peter Spyke and Gertrude. Both artistes were called for at its conclusion, and a shower of bouquets greeted the fair representative of the simple villager. We also perceive by an advertisement in the Sydney Morning _H er ald that a splendid testimo nial is about being presented to this gentleman by the residents in Sydney, in order to mark their appreciation of his great and transcendent abilities. The writer of " Town Talk" in the Illustrated News Sir Charles Eastlak e h as re has the following :—" turned from his first continental tour as Keeper of the National Gallery, and has, it is said, effected certain pur chases at Florence that will materially contribute to make our gallery a history of art. Mr. John Payne Collier has been, and is still, reading lectures at Maiden head upon our early dramatic poetry. Sir Edward Bul wer Lytton has become a writer in the Quarterly Review. The article on Pitt and Fox we suspect is by him." ACCIDENT TO vur SCREW -STEAMER HABANA.

(Front the Morning Advertiser.) A meeting is to be held this evening in St. Martin's Hall, which, we fear, is intended, by those with whom the idea originated, to entrap the unwary into an expres sion of opinion adverse to the further prosecution of the war. The whole affair, indeed, is represented to us as a ♦ery ingenious but dishonest device, to accomplish the purposes of the anti-English, pro-Russian clique, who are known by the name of the "Peace-at-any-price" party. The first part of the proceedings is intended to bear on the recent expulsion of the French exiles from Jersey, but we are assured that though the persons getting up the meeting no doubt sympathise with Victor lingo and his fellow•proscrits, yet that the Jersey coup d'tStat is only regarded as a mere secondary matter. It is for the.rneeting to defeat the anti war objects con.• templated by the Peace party. Let those who approve of the war, as necessary for the discomfiture of the ag gres-ive designs of Russia, the maintenance of Turkey in all its integrity, the independence of other European countries, and the honour of England, muster this even ing in large numbers, and either move that the meeting separate, after the question of the Jersey exiles has been disposed of, or propose an amendment to the effect that the war is just and necessary, and that the interests of Turkey, the independence of Europe, and the honour of England, equally require not only that the war be con tinued, but that it be prosecuted with greater vigour than ever. This is what is wanted. The war cannot be termi nated in the present state of things. Russia in that case would claim a triumph, Turkey would feel that she had not escaped from the paws of the Northern bear, Europe would tremble in the prospect of the future, and the honour of the allies would be seriously compromised. This roust not be. We have embarked in the enterprise of checking the ambition, repelling the aggressions, humbling the pride, and paralysing the power of the Czar ; and until these great and essential objects are accomplished, we must not for a moment entertain the idea of abandoning that enterprise. We must go through with it. We must do the work effectually. And that will be the cheapest, in the long run, as well as the best way of doing it ; for a few more millions of money, and the shedding of a little more British blood, will be a far wiser course to adopt than only to do our work partially, and then, after the lapse of a few years, to have to engage in it anew, when the Czar has become much more formidable, because much better prepared, to go to war with us. We must 'not con tent ourselves with doing things by half. Let us do them fully, and we shall be spared the necessity of doing them again. This is the deep-seated desire of the whole country, always excepting that little clique, out of the House of Commons as well as in it, who would be nathing if they did not differ from the rest of the community. Singu larity is to them the only pathway to notoriety—which they must have on any terms. Let the people of London give them a lesson to-night which they will not soon forget. Let the masses be early at the place of meeting, and lose no time in showing their strength. It would be an awkward circumstance, and would be playing the Russian game most effectually, were those who share in the all but universal wish for a vigorous prosecution of the war to absent themselves from St. Martin's Hall this evening. when they are forewarned that the Peace party, which is synonymous with the abettors of Muscovite objects, intend to bring forward a resolution condemnatory of the war as impolitic, unne cessary, and unjust. The little Muscovite junto must be taught that Englishmen are not yet so debased, ❑ot ro entirely lost to that love of freedom which has ever ani mated the national breast, as to acquiesce in any proposal that may be made, which, however disguised, would have for its object to entail deep and lasting disgrace on the national charrcter, and lay us, as a people, prostrate at the feet of the Czar. These are the real objects of the pacific gentlemen who are to figure this evening on the platform at St. Martha's Hall. They must be made to learn, before the meeting has separated, if not earlier in the evening, that Englishmen are not yet so insensible to the blessings of Constitutional Government as tamely to submit to become the serfs of the Czar. GREAT MEETING ON THE FOOD QUES. TION.-ADDRESS TO HE ti MAJESTY. BIRMINGHAM, Sunday.—There has been a meeting to-day at Wes tßromwich, at which 15,000 persons were present ; a memorial to the Queen was adopted agning_t the exportation of grain, and monopoly in human food. A deputation of working men was appointed to proceed off quietly. London to present it. The meeting passed ft quietly. - - SIR COLIN CAMPBELL. da; ..---..----- (From the Morning Advertiser of this W.) We can state, on the beet a uthority, that the sole reason of this gallant' officer having thrown up his com mand in the Crimea, and departed for England, is the deep disgust and sens e of injury which he feels at the way in which he h as been treated, by the appointment, over his head, of S ir William Codrington, so much his '1 I r junior in the ser vice, and notoriouslyso him inferio r t o in gallantry a nd skill, to the o e ffice of Co mmander- Club; o n Th ursday , Chief. At a meeting at the Guards' held for the p ur p ose of celebrating the B a ttl e of In 1 ke man , a nd at which the Duke of Cambridge was prese n t, thi s fact was stated by friends of Sir Coli n Campbell; and ffi had sharply it .was also add ed that the g al lant ulcer in the Crimea, snubbed some of the " carpet soldi and that he was, in additio,n, w t . o b hi e s t' indignation at his own treatment, disgusted w w b h e o n le b c e on re c a e o r b n e ." B There is every reason to believe mak E n gland, Sir Colin will vinertybestcarrtilminega.revvvee lations respecting the state of affairs understand that he has tendered his resignation of his c ommission altogether, but that it has not been accepted.

( From the Examiner.) The recent appointment of Sir Hamilton Sey. mour affords a pledge that the war will be prose cuted with vigour, no less decided than that since given by the promotion of Sir William Codrington. We are glad to welcome such indications ; for that a nervous dread of offending Austria must have possessed some members of the Cabinet not merely since it has been purged of Lord Aberdeen, but even since it has been delivered from Mr. Glad stone and the other members of the little-war party, began to be strongly suspected. To what, for example, but our dread of alienat ing a power whose fleet we could sweep from the sea in a fortnight, and which by its own confession cannot keep an army in the field unless assisted by enormous subsidies from this country, are we to attribute our having run the risk of involving our selves in a war with the only nation in the world. which (excepting France) we have the slightest reason to fear ? Admitting the necessity of a Foreign Enlistment Bill at all, it is perfectly notorious that in Walla chia we could have obt a i ne d l ast year as many cruits as we desired, with ou t offering any bounty , re - and without even incurring the expense of convey ing them to the seat of war. We s h ou ld thus have raised men animated with a deadly hatred against our enemies, the blessings of whose " protection " they had so recently tasted ; and sprung from a race which, if it has not in late times distinguished itself in war, has at least in very difficult circumstanc es managed always to maintain a quasi-independence. No one acquainted with the country can doubt that the inhabitants of the mountainous region called Little Wallachia would at once have been found, even without previous training, very useful auxiliaries, and that the other parts of Wallachia and Moldavia might have furnished at least fifty thousand men convertible during the winter into excellent troops. Of the advantage of acting with such Rouman axuiliaries in Bessarabia—which the protecting power an nexed to her empire only in 1812, when she partitioned Moldavia—we need hardly speak. The invading army would have been re ceived as liberators. Ismail might have been in vested, a free outlet might have been obtained for that superabundance of wheat existing in the Prin cipalities which is now kindly prevented by Austria from reaching the English market,and Odessa might have been threatened from the land as well as from the sea. But supposing we still doubted the prowess of the Roumans, we might surely have accepted the offer of the Poles. There was only one condition attached to the proposal—that they should not be confounded with the troops of other nations ; yet it is understood that this condition led to a rejec tion of their offer. The reasoning in both cases of course has been that, whether we took into our pay a Wallachian or a Polish legion, Austria would certainly feel offended. But when did excess of timidity fail to bring in• crease of danger along with it ? Just see into what peril our fears have been plunging us. We have not merely incurred enormous expense in bribing Germans to enlist by means of a high bounty, in constructing barracks in Heligoland, and in conveying to the seat of war these dear bought and half-unwilling heroes. We have had to suffer the indignity of seeing, without protest, our Consuls arrested and tried by the tribunals of the countries in which they exercise their func tions, because in pursuance of their instructions from the Foreign-office they had contravened the law ; and we have been brought to the very verge of open quarrel with America. The excuse made for our Ministers is, that they were not aware of the existence of a considerable party in the States looking upon Russia with no unfriendly eyes. But why were they not aware of it ? For what do we carefully select, and highly pay, our Ministers but that they should possess such necessary knowledge ? We thought it had been notorious that for years Russia has been seek ing to conciliate American travellers (usually per sons of influence in their country) by treating them with marked attention. We believe the supicion to have been very general, with all who have watched the tone of certain portions of the American press, that Russian diplomacy has also for some years been exerting itself not less in that direction, and as successfully as in Germany itself. Every one certainly has known that the Irish emigrants of '4B and 49 had not abandoned their animosity against England, and had been able to inoculate with it to some extent even sections of their non-Celtic fellow citizens. Yet now we are told that all this falls like a clap of thunder on Downing-street, where they have been believing as complacently in the amiable and inalienable dispositions of America, as a little while ago they believed in the friendly eagerness of Austria. We began by approving of the now appointment to Vienna : let us close by asking whether a change is less necessary at Stockholm. Wo have no hesi tation iu saying that this mission is rendered by cir cumstances at present one •f the most important in Europe. Yet it is held by a gentleman who, while employed a few years agoatVienna,neithervery diplomatically nor very sagaciously expressed his regrets at the triumph of the constitutionalists in Hungary; the embassy to which he belonged having previously reported that the insurrection was quelled, at the very time when it wasassuming the mostgiganticproportions. Whatare the chances that we shall not be told a year or two hence that our Foreign•ofhce was not aware of the strong feeling which pervaded the people in Sweden, and was shared oven by the Royal family, until too late to take advantage of it ? There exists at Stockholm a section of the nobility despised in their own coun try and looking for advancement and honours to Russia alone. What security is there that the English minister will not be misled by these per , sons as to the intentions and feeling of the Swedish government and people, just as he was duped in '49 by the Austrian camarilla with regard to the true character of the Hungarian war ? Is a true disciple of Lord Westmoreland, an avowed admirer of the Austrian Government, and one who believes that England ought to court the alliance of the despotic powers, a proper exponent at the present ' crisis of the views entertained by the people and ministry of England ?
