ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 661.05 c. Opening flat. Early in the day the Funds improved k per cent., but this led to sales, and very unfavourable views were expressed with regard to the proceedings in Parliament and the prospect of a continuance, at least for a time, of an unsatisfactory foreign policy. All the markets have closed with a gloomy aspect, and Consols, after being 90Z for money and 90 : for account, are now only 90; Z and 904 8 respec tively. But for the plentiful supplies of floating capital, and other encouraging circumstances, specu lators would no doubt be inclined to operate for a fall. The New Threes are marked at 891 ; and the Reduced Annuities 891 8 ; India 5 per Cents., 1041 Z. There is less firmness in the Foreign Stock Market, and business is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 68,1 69k; ditto Consolides, 49,1 50 ; Mexican, 281 4 ; Greek, 24 1, ; Spanish Passive 29 ; Portuguese, 471 48; Russian, 87-1- I; and the Confederate Loan, 69; 701. In the Railway Share Market there has been - very little animation, and the variations in prices have been of an unimportant character. North Western have improved 10s, and Metropolitan £1 10a; while Great Eastern have declined it, and Great Western, The Foreign and Colonial lines generally remain at about former rates. Bank and Misenllaneous Shares are dull, but in most instances maintained previous quotations. Ebbw Vale Company Shares are_quoted ld prem.; Societe Gec6rale de L'Empire Ottoman, 21 38 prem.; and Charnounix United Hotel Shares, I, 1/ prem. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

METROPOLITAN RAIL \VAL—The adjourned gene ral Meeting of shareholders in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr, W. A. Wilkin son in the chair, for the pu r p ose o f cons i dering a bil l now before Parliament, entitled " A bill to enable the Metropoli tan Railway Company to extend their railway from Fins bury -circus to Trin ity - square, Tower-hill, an d f or o th e r h ." Mr. Borchelt, th e so li c i tor, having read the heads of the bill, the chairman said he trusted the meeting would sanction the bill now before it, for he believed no body of s hareholders were ever placed in a more fa the directvourable rangements position th an t h ey were by the ar tlemen of wealth ors had entered into. Four gen- Undertaken all the risk and railway exper i ence had of the proposed line, and were w ill- M ing eith er t o k ee p th e w h ole of the c a pit a l , or allow the shareholders of the etropolitan to take up any quantity of the capital they thought pi-oper. They therefore ran no risk, while they had the option of sharing in the prosperity. They would incur no responsibility from the extension ; the capital and receipts would be kept s eparate, and their dividends would not be injuriously affeinctoevdi,ungothn lea adoptiontterh ow the branches paid. He concluded by of the bill. Mr Austin seconded thcf3rorniesokurti li l a ' r 7 r h i d i e g h e , after some discussion and opposition Mr Elers, and others, was agreed to. A vote of than to t" Chainlll4l4 concluded the proceedings, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Discount Market to-day has presented a quiescent appearance, and the rates have continued to range fully per cent. below the minimum of the Bank of England. It is generally thought that affsirs next week will become much easier, owing to the payment of the dividends and the moderate demand for accommodation. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. About 25,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for transmission to the Brazils. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £408,290, and the exports to £433,579. 20 stock iteok stook 4 took ',took itook 20 qtock •ux I stock Weak if neck' )avis, of It Con dictate ,he Pre- ) deter, .om the ess yeti' 3overro one to ary ser• ication o refusal• E 28. nd no' le Cat' I dull. ditto, 3, 104 ; !CO for ; Nov [arletnr Michi4 971 i Fort 7ithout ty well tvaried being narkes ss 9 0 ss 25 56 2 5 86 o ,o ' 48k 41 •-• ive.

On Monday afternoon last, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of the London Hospital, the prisoners were at the corner of the New -road and Whitechapel•road, and were busy at work among the pockets of the well dressed. A very respectable and intelligent woman, named Mary Ann Smith, the wife of William Smith, a butcher, saw the prisoners dive unsuccessfully into the pockets of several persons. At last two of them stood in front of a lady while Archer put his hand into her pocket and .drew something out, which he at once handed to Jones. A rush, a push and a shout was the next fuse of the three thieves, who were closely watched by Mrs. Smith. She gave information to the police, and the prisoners were taken into custody. They made a desperate resistance, dnd kicked and plunged violently. The constables on duty under Superintendant Howie, of the K division, were too numerous and active to allow such villains to escape, and they were soon locked up. Joseph Skeats, No, 428 K, said each prisoner had a hole in his left-hand coat pocket, through which they " worked " under cover. He had been unable to find the lady who was robbed. John Clark, 491 K, said that Jones was committed for trial same time ago for felony, convicted and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, Jones—That's a lie, I can prove it to be false. L's a regular lie, I was only paying a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales on Monday last. Mr Paget had no doubt the prisoners has robbed a lady, but as he was not forthcoming, the prisoners must be dis charged. The prisoners (una voce)--lire era lucky fellows. Good morning. DINING HALLS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.— The following noblemen and gentlemen have be come patrons of the association just formed, for the purpose of establishing cheap dining depots (on the plan of the Surrey Cooking Depot.), throughout the metropolis :—The Right Hon. the Lord Brougham and Vaux, the Right Hon. the Earl of Shrewsbury and Tslbot, Lard Lyttleton, F.R.S., Lord Stanley, M.P,, Sir John Villiers Shelley, Bart., M.P., Mr Alderman Waterlow, W. Blanchard Jerrold, Esq., George God win, Esq., W, Hawes, Esq., Chairman of the Council of the Society of Arts. AN EXTRAORDINARY WILL.-,A curious family lawsuit has just been settled at Paris. One Senor Jose Joachim da Game Machado, gentleman of the bed • chamber to the King of Portugal, and an attorney in wait ing to the Portuguese Embassy, finding himself about to die, made a will, and then was so long before he really " gave up the ghost" that he added 71 codicils to the ori ginal instrument. Having signed the 71st, he realty did die La the summer of 1861, and from then till now his estate has been food for lawyers. Many of the codicils were strange, For instance :—" I leave to the Athena um of Paris 10,0001., the interest of which at 5 per cent. will be 500 f, Half of this interest to be paid to a professor of natural history, who shall lecture on the influence of colours and pattons of dress , s on the character of animals." Again :—" lly funeral shall take place at three p.m, the hour when the rooks of the Louvre come home to dinner," The Portuguese attache was devoted to tame birds, and he desired that many stuffed specimens should be placed in his calla—that his servant should carry to the ceremony "one of my favourite birds in his cage"— that certain birds should be let loose in the Bois de Boulogne on the thy of his funeral ; also that his horses should follow the procession, but not draw any carriage. There was another droll codicil :—" May 26, 1859.—8 ad weather, and I can't get out; so I will do a little good. I leave M. do Chevalier 10,000 f and I increase the annual pension of my servants I,ooof a head." Senor Machado had during his life erected his own tomb, on which were engraved a sun, a bird, an ox, a dog, an egg " proper" sur mounting them. Beneath was inscribed, "Here reposes the author of the ' Theory of Likeness.' " This was one of his crotchets. "He was born a stammerer and short sighted, and he died blind. Passer-by, admire the bounty of nature." The heir-at-law disputed the validity of the will, but the law has decided that the deceased was only vain, not insane, and therefore had a right to will away his own property, which it was proved he had managed with excessive caution during his life. THE ALLEGED MASSACRE OF FOUR HUNDRED SWEDES IN ALSEN.—Some of the journals re cently mentioned that among the prisoners made on the island of Alsen were 100 Swedes who were all put to death. The statement is now contradicted : " There are, indeed, among the prisoners," says a Berlin letter, "some soldiers who have not taken oath to King Christian IX., and some officers who could not produce a Danish commission; but the Prussian authorities have thus far not applied military law to them." Prince Frederick Charles has announced in an order of the day of the 3d, that in future in such eases the soldiers will he tried by a military court,—Galignani. At the first meeting of the prevent council of the Society of Arts since their election, Mr. William Hawes, vice-president, was unanimously re-elected chairman for the current year. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.--On Thursday Thomas Mortis, a Liverpool dook gateman, died from hydrophobia. About six months ago a police officer re leased a little poodle dog from the Canning graving dock, and took it to the gateman's hut. Shortly afterwards Morris went into the hut, and was patting the the dog on the head when it growled and snapped at him, biting him slightly on the hand. He thought no more of the matter, and continued at his work until Tuesdey last, when his arm began to swell. The usual symptoms soon came on, and though Morris had the attendance of several dminent medical men he died on Thursday morning, after suffer ing great agony. A Russian merchant, M. Sidorow, who has ac quired an enormous fortune at Siberia, has given the sum of 120,000 roubles and the produce of a vast auri ferous territory towards the foundation of a university at Tobolsk. A Russian journal which seemed to throw some doubts upon the realisation of his scheme only produced the effect of making him send another sum of 20,000 roubles and two huge gold nuggets to the government towards the furtherance of the plan. There is no reason why, with this enormous sum and the 50,000 roubles contributed for the same object by M. Demidoff in 1803 (a sum which, un touched since, has now increased to 75,000 roubles), a Tobolsk university should not in reality be founded soon. —The Reader. CLEVER SPlDERS.—Spiders can do more than they have yet received credit for. An observer, of whose accuracy no on© who knows him will entertain a doubt, told me that he once saw a garden spider busy stretching his line from one shrub or bush to another. The wind being rather strong., the line oscillated more than the spider ap proved, and he accordingly steadied it to the ground by threads which he attached between it and small pebbles lying beneath it on the earth. This looks very like the sagacity and shiftiness which, in ncan, is called intelligence. The tent of Clotho Durandii deserves special mention among the specimens exemplifyin g the ingenuity of spiders. This tent is formed at first of two sheets of the finest taffeta, to which the spider adds additional coverings when hatch ing her eggs. The cutsitte sheet is soiled to conceal the tent; the inside is white, clean, downy, and warm. When compelled to leave her tent in search of food, the spider fastens the outside sheets wittfastenings of which she alone possesses the secret.—Dickeiis's "All the Year Round."' GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY MEETING.—The ad journed meeting of the proprietors to consider the remaining bills before Parliament, was held yesterday, Mr Goodson in the chair. The Chairman said he was happy to inform the meeting that there would be no necessity for any further adjournment. There were only two bills now requir ing the sanction of the proprietors, namely—The Metropo- ID an Bill and the Junction Bill. The solicitor (Mr. May nard) then read the heads of the two bills referred to, en t"A bill t o authorise the Great Eastern Railway e d respectively o on make i w several railway s i n an d near the metropolis in connexion with their exi s ti ng railway, and to purchase ti c oti lands for a station in the City of London," and "A bill to authorise the Great Eastern Railway Company to make several short junction railways for connecting different rail ways in their system, at various points, and for other pur poses.'

THE WOINIAN WHO ROBS THE POOR —Mary Ann Santry, a vulgar and dissipated woman, aged 23, and lately dwell ing at 4, Sun and Sawyer's-court, Poplar, was brought be fore Mr. Paget, charged with stealing two pairs of boots from the apartment of a poor woman named Mary Magratb, of Vail 'passage, Broad-street, Rateliff, and one pair of boots from the room of another poor woman named Ann Hally, in the same locality. The prisoner was described by George Pullin, No. 10 K, as a very mischievous thief, who prowled about very poor neighbourhoods early in the morning, and sneaked into rooms, carrying off anything she could lay her hands on The value of the property was trifling, but a serious loss to. the poor creatures she had robbed. On the morning of the 21st of June, the dwellings of the parties abovenamed wera entered, and the boots stolen. In one case the boots stolen were worth 35., and the woman said her child laud only worn them one day, the previous Sunday, and her poor husband was a coal whipper, whose labour was hard and earnings scanty. In the other case two pairs of children's boots were stolen, and they had been under the necessity of going without since. Pullen found the three pairs of boots at a pawnbroker's shop. The prisoner had raised money on them and spent it on gin and beer. Her love for strong drinks was proverbial, and she was known by the inelegant cognomen of "Lushy Poll." She was seen in the imme ciate vicinity of the two places the boots were stolen from on the morning of the 21st of June. The prisoner, in a whining tone, said, " Pray be merciful, sir, I am a poor lone woman, I am guilty." Mr Paget said the prisoner deserved no mercy at all. She had committed very cruel robberies—both robberies were very heartless and cruel. He sentenced her to be impri soned for six months' in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour. THE BOMBAY MAIL, "The Akhoond of Swat addressed the people of Jeilalabad, urging them to declare against the Ameer of Cabal, who, although a Mussulman, had formed a friendship with Ferunghees. " Shere DilKhan, ruler (usurper) of Khelat, was massacred is the Hoola Pass, on May 20, by a Paten in his service. " The Umballa conspizators are still in a state of suspense, and will proably get off with their lives. "Many officers of the line are about to return to tho local army. " Major Light's practice with the Armstrong guns at Peshawur has produced a marked sensation on the envoy from Cabul. " Sixty of Mecham's irregular cavalry frit Pesha4 wur have been dismisEel for insubordination. " A cruel sutteo recently took place at Beygoon in Meywar. The son of th e R ajah died end was cinerated on the 28th of A pr i l ; his widow was thrown on the funeral pie and held there until force was no longer required. "The line of rail over the Thull Ghat is now wholly laid. The incline will be available for pub. lie traffic towards the end of the year." Female Orphan Asylum. A quarterly court of the glardians of this charity was held on Thursday at the Female Orphan Asylum, West minster-road, for the purpose of confirming the resolution of a special committee, recommending the removal of this institution to Beddington Park. The Rev. J. Lingham, M.A., was called to the chair. The minutes of the last court were then read. The recommendation of the com mittee was to the effect that, alter having inspected several sites, they considered the most eligible to be a large man sion, with 22 acres of land, at Beddington Park, which could be purchased for £15,000. Eight acres might be re sold, leaviog ample space for all the purposes of the asylum. The necessary alterations could be made, so as to accommo date 200 children, for about £6,000. On the motion of the Chairman, the general minutes were confirmed. The Rev. H. Mackenzie was elected a life governor, hav ing preached the last anniversary sermon. The consideration of the report with reference to the amendment of the bye-laws was postponed for the present. The report of the special committee on the duties and salaries of the secretary was then next brought up. It stated that the salary at present paid the secretary is inadequate to the duties performed, and ought to be increased, bat inasmuch as the proposed removal of the hospital involved several alterations, the consideration of the duties and remuneration had better be deferred until the subject of removal and its various contingencies were finally settled. The previous secretary at each triennial dinner was presented with £5O, but this had not been done during Mr. Booth's period of office, and the committee therefore recommended the payment of £2OO to Mr. Booth. This recommendation was unanimously agreed to. Mr. CLARKE then moved :- 44 That the Female Orphan Asylum has been established upwards of a century in the metropolis, and that the health of the inmates has been uniformly good ; that the institution—by reason not only of its intrinsic claims on sympathy, but from its obvious prominence in London has gained largely aecnualated funds and continuous support, which support by removal will be endangered ; and as such removal of the institu tion from observation. will militate against reasonable popular control—Resolved, that any change of the site is , undesirable, and should not be proceeded with, unless au thorised by the maj or i ty Of the guardians." Mr. BREYER second ed the motion, which was negatived by a large majority. Mr. CURLING wa s then abous to bring forward his motion relative to th e bye-laws, which required all the minutes and proceedings to be read at the quarterly court, when, at the suggestion of several gentlemen the subject was deferred until the report on the byelaws was brought forward for consideration. A vote of thanks to th e chairman brought the proceed ings to a termination, :APING -THIS DAY, LONDON, July 9....,Wind this lay at noon—North- West; raodera:;e breeze and fine weather, but a little cloudy.

DEATH FROM A WAGER.—Yesterday morning, Wm. H arve y , a com positor, livi ng in Granby street, Wat er l oo . roa d, un d e rtook, for a wager o f £l , to swim across the Thames from /Milbank to Lambeth within 12 minutes, and got in the water for that purpose at eight o'clock. The unfortunate man reached about 200 feet from the shore, when he gave a loud shriek and instantly sank. The party with whom he made the wager were hastening over the bridge to meet him on the opposite shore, and could render him no assistance. The poor fellow, who, it is supposed, was seized with cramp, perished. . By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have papers from Bombay to June 8, and from Calcutta to May 31. The following is from the Times of India " "The headquarters of the Bombay Government and army are still at Mehableshwur. The Viceroy and Governor-General is at Simla. " The resignation of the chief command of the army by Sir Hugh Rose, and the appointment of Sir William Mansfield as his successor, are stated as coming events near at hand.

Hancock, dm court jeweller, of Bruton•street, three most exquisite race cups, each of which is to be contended for at the forthcoming meeting at Stamford. The Clifden Silver Cup, value 200 guineas, in design, is purely classical, with rich decorations in the style of the fifteenth century. The glittering work of art stands about 30 inches high, and unlike the usual racing trophy, is in fact a cup of the most splendid proportions. The front is ornamented with a fine bas relief in oxodised silver, representing Henry rescued by his son Prince Edward at the battle of Eves ham; the handles are formed of genii mounted on grotesque dragons, and the whole is surmounted with a figure of Fame. Nothing can be more beautiful than the execution of the cup, and the fortunate winner may congratulate himself on being the possessor of one of the finest specimens of art in the precious metal ever produced. The " Stamford Cup" and the " Welter Cup" are each as elegant and tasteful as the Stewards' Cup, though, of course, of less intrinsic value. The former is a cup and cover, partly gilt, of novel form; and the latter a mediaeval shaped silver tazza, with open worked handles, from the antique, with a cover mounted by a fins group of horses. The workmanship of the whole is superb; and another circumstance for which Mr Hancock is much commended is, that in each instance he has produced a work of both utility and beauty, in opposition to the senseless and useless groups generally manufactured, and ridiculously enough denominated lacing " cups."

The cold nights —many of them frosty in the uplands— have caused almost a stoppage of growth. Wheat is shoot ing slowly out. and oats and turnips have been brought nearly to a stand still. There has been wonderfully little growth of grass since the end of May, and farmers are under the necessity of using large quantities of in-door food. The Ganes must therefore again be under an average. The prospect at present is altogether most unlike what might have been anticipated at Whitsunday, when there seemed much reason to hope for a bountiful season. The crops are all late, but a few sunny days such as we now enjoy may cause a favourable change in their appearance. Ayr Advertiser.

BARBARITIES BY THE PRUSSIANS. Earl RUSSELL, in reference to a question put to him the other evening by the Earl of Shaftesbury, relative to the alleged bayonetting of 400 wounded Swedish volunteers by the Prussians, said he had received a telegram from her Majesty's Minister at Copenhagen and another from her Majesty's Ambassador at Berlin, and the effect of those communications was that there was no truth whatever in the reports circulated. THE VOTE OF CENSURE—DENMARK AND GERMANY. The Earl of MALMESBURY moved with reference to he Conference, that it is the opinion of this house that while the course pursued by her Majesty's Government has failed to maintain their avowed policy of upholding the integrity and independence of Denmark, it has lowered the just influence of this country in the councils of Europe, and thereby diminished the securities for peace. Ho regretted the absence of a most distinguished member of their lordships' house, because by that circumstance it became his duty to move the resolution new before their lordships, which he felt certain would have been done with greater effect by his noble friend. He would commence his observations with taking notice of a circumstance which had occurred in another place, viz., that it had been stated that the noble earl (Russell) had only carried on the negotiations on the subject of Schleswig-Holstein in con currence with the opinions contained in a number of despatches written by him (Earl Malmesbury) when he hall the honour to hold the seals of the Foreign Office. All he could say was that if that correspondence was in existence he thought it nothing but right that Parliament should be made acquainted with it, and that copies of it should be laid upon the table of their lordships' house. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) The subject he was about to bring under the attention of their lordships was one cf the greatest importance, and he had to ask their forbearance while he addressed them, but he would endeavour to compress his observations into the narrowest limits. Referring to the question as to what was the Conservative policy, he said it was difficult for them to define what they would do, when it was impossible to esy in what air cutnetances they would be placed. He might with just as much fairness ask another question, end that was, %inlet would the present Government do if they were in opposition ? (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It would be quite as fair. (Laughter.) He would tell what they would do— they would endeavour to turn their opponents out as soon as possible. (Laughter.) He did not say that it would be wise now to go to war ; but he was prepared to say that there was a moment when, if the Government had taken a strong tone and made a strong stand war would have been avoided. (Hear, hear.) That was not his opinion alone, He had heard such opinions by Germans, and they, it would at once be admitted, were competent judges; and he trusted before ha sat down he should be able to prove that such was the case. He was prepared to show that the Govern ment had brought about this state of things by their own faults. (Hear.) All municipal differences in Schleswig and Holstein were totally and distinctly marked off from international questions. With the municipal questions foreign Governments had nothing to do. It Ras with the international questions that interference should be justified. That distinction the Government had failed to keep in view. All through the question the noble earl (Russell) acted too much as a partizan; he had failed to keep himself independent, and thus he had cut the ground from under his feet—(Hear, hear)—all the ground that would have enabled him to be looked upon as a fit statesman to arbitrate upon the difference between the parties. One instance of his conduct was shown on the 29th of April, 1861, when the noble lord proposed to Denmark a new constitution for itself in connection with the Duchies. The next point he touched upon was the statement male by Lord Palmerston, when ho said that if certain events came to pass Denmark should not stand alone. There was only one interpretation to be put upon that. It meant that it Denmark wet° molested, England would stand at her side—(hear, hear)—and, of course, defend her. (Hear, hear.) There could be no other construction put upon such a declaration. He believed he should be asked, what policy the Opposition were prepared to adopt—but that question was both monstrous and unfair. The Opposition had no access to information with regard to the means which had been at the disposal of .the Government for. carrying on a war, the state of the relations of the country with other powers, and other matters which were ,exclu sively in the cognisance of Ministers, who were responsible for the conduct and policy they had pursued. There had been two courses open to the Government. Whilst tho Danish army was still unbroken they ought dither to have joined with Sweden and assisted in placing 100,000 men on the Eider, in which case not a German soldier would have attempted to cross that river—or ;they might have frankly warned Denmark that whatever was the result of their diplomatic efforts they could not give her material aid—but it was clear that up to a very recent period Ministers could not make up their minds whether they would assist Denmark or not, and to that uncertainty and hesitation was to be attributed the failure of their diplomacy, the downtal of their influence, and the undignified position in which they now found themselves. Vigorous action in the first instance might have averted the war; but so indecisive had been the policy of the Government that :they had not only not displayed vigour, but had so involved the country that it could only avoid war by a tardy and an unworthy retreat. Reviewing the correspondence of the Foreign Office, and the oral de clarations of Lord Palmerston, the noble earl contended that they had encouraged Denmark with hopes which were doomed to disappointment, and irritated the German Powers e w m i t b h a r r e m a p s a t e y d t p h o r s e i a t o s n . H o d F e r c a n o n c c e l u a d n e d d R b y u s c s o i a n t i r n a s t r i e n f g e r t e h n e c e n n t to both belligerents with the baffled policy of the Cabinet, and the undignified situation in which the country had in con sequence been placed. The motion was opposed by the Duke of ARGYLL, who spoke at considerable length in defence of the Ministerial policy, - Lord BROUGHAM said that he had attentively studied the correspondence, and had come to the conclusion that the Government had not menaced Germany. He felt that they could not have stood silently by and seen the Danes over whelmed without remonstrance and protest. At the same time it could not be expected that England should take up their cause single-handed against one •third of continental Europe. The Marquis of CLANRICA.RDE agreed with the Earl of Malmesbury that it was the weakness and vacillation of the policy pursued by the Government that had brought on the war, placed this country in its present unpleasant position, and almost swept Denmark from the map of Europe. Whilst, however, he was of opinion that the Government had deplorably mismanaged affairs, he could not concur in the terms of the motion, which not only did not set forth the real facts of the case, but pronounced an opinion which the house ought not to place on its journals. He did not believe that the influence of England had been lowered. For that influence rested upon her power, and her power was never greater than at this moment. He moved as an amendme n t, to omit the latter prop os iti on i n th e mot i on an d insert in lieu thereof the words--" That this house regrets t h a t Denmark was allowed to expect from th e E ng lish Govern m en t mate rial,o aid in support of the objects of the treaty of i The Earl of CLARENDON had not s hared th e respon— sibility of the Government during t h e most activ e part of the negociations, but in his opinion fr omda pp r eciation of the the outset , eters had exhibited both foresight an gravity of affairs.

A war between England and Germany would have extended to Italy and the Danubian Principalities, to Pk land and Turkey. No wise statesman would have in cured the responsibility of kindling a European conflagra • tion for the sake of Denmark, with France and Russia not indifferent, but waiting on the course of events. After France and Russia had slunk away from their engagements no impartial Englishmen could blame the Government because their honest efforts had failed, and that not through any fault of their own. Much as he loved peace he loved honour more, and if he did not believe that peace was con sistent with the honour as well as the interest of the country, he would have been the first to counsel war, although he had far less means of interfering with effect than the powers who had declined to do so. He insisted that not only Lad Ministers warned Denmark that they wculd not give her material aid, but they had done their utmost to convince her that she was labouring under a delusion in tupposing that the sympathies of the English people would compel them to go to her rescue. Although the Government had failed in their chief object in the conference, they had re duced the question in dispute to one of frontier, in which a few leagues of territory only was concerned; and they had _~ ,~ a sigh• ;ease, i t to the the end and rive• [esse ;axe , c 1 at the nes o four dorl her )esa tile X ss and % tie lige OH. atia ids for ,he Ilia et There 49f I 115 / 9.51 1021 1031 3 204 73 4
