HOLMES' CONCERT.—This gentleman gave his second pianoforte concert at the Hanover-square Rooms on Saturday, when I.e was honoured with the attendance of a numerous and fashionable audience. The programme embraced many of the best compositions of the day, while Miss Dolby and Mr. Frank Bodda added to the morning's entertainment by singing some of the melodies for which they are most famous. Mr. J. B. Chatterton, harpist to her Majesty, performed upon the harp with his usual magnificence of tone a new Fantasia Mosaique ; but most decidedly the gem of the concert was the Romance d deux Minutes, a composition for the piano, which was playel by Miss Huet in so brilliant a style as to elicit a rapturous encore. Miss Huet, who is a pupil of the Royal Academy, selected this occasion for her debilt. This, her single perform. ance, gave much promise for the future, as well as re flected the highest credit upon Mr. W. H. Holmes, her preceptor. • FINING JIIRYSIEN FOR NON-ATTENDANCE. —On Satur day, at the City Sheriff's Court, on Mr. Gurney, the judge, taking his seat, only eight of the 36 persons BUM ! rnoned to serve on kiries were in attendance. The ' judge expressed himself strongly on the subject, and at once inflicted on the absent 24 p e rsons sun:fawned the full penalty of 10/. each. .. . . CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on 'Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand for all kinds was in a very inactive state, at a decline in the quo tations of from is to 2s per qr. For spring corn there was very little inquiry, at barely previous rates. In flour next to nothing was doing. The nem. continental markets have been rather dull for most articles of grain. Our latest advices from New York state that the market for breadstuffs was dull and droop ing. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain was very moderate. The imports of foreign amounted to 47,006 qrs. of wheat, 4,400 barley, 24,999 oats, 1,499 beans, 118 tares, 5,857 linseed, 553 rapeseed, 4 mustard seed, 4,137 sundry seeds, including Indian corn , 2,369 sacks and 12,171 barrels of flour. Notwithstanding that the arrivals of wheat from Essex, Kent, &e., fresh up to our market to-day were very mode rate, and that the stands were scantily supplied with sam ples of both red and white, the demand for all descrip tions was in a depressed state, at a decline in quotations obtained on Monday last of fully Is phew r. In soe in stances low qualities were 2 s per qr cp,T, and am lear ance was not effected. For for ward delivery very little doing. We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat. A few only superior parcels changed hands at the prices of Mon day last ; but other kinds were quite is per quarter cheaper. Floating cargoes were very dull, and is to 2s per quarter lower to purchasers. With barley, we were fairly supplied. All kinds sold heavily, and the quotations had a downward tendency. So little was doing in malt that the quotations wore almost nominal. We were largely supplied with both Irish and foreign oats, which met a dull inquiry, at a fall in the prices of Monday last of from 6d to is per quarter. The supply of beans was moderate, all kinds sold slowly, at barely previous rates. We had a dull inquiry for peas, at last week's currency. The flour trade was dull, in some instances, prices were a shade lower. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. Whes!--Essex It Kent, Malt—Chevalier •• 75s to 76!

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with each kind of foreign cattle, the quality of which was by no means good. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were limited, and the general weight exhibited a falling off. Although the attendance of buyers was not to say numerous, the demand for all breeds of beasts was very brisk, at an advance in the prices obtained on Monday last of fully 2d per 81bs. Prime Scots and some good short-horns sold at 5s per Blbs. In some instances 5s 2d, and even 5s 4d, per Blbs was paid for the finest quali ties, and a clearance was effected. This was one of the most active markets for beef we almost ever recollect. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to ,950 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 520 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 300 horned and polled S.;ots., but their genera l With sheep we were fairly supplied weight was not heavy. Nearly all breeds commanded a steady trade, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'unight—the best old Downs out of the wool readily producing 5s per Sibs. Prime Downs lambs moved off freely, at full rates of currency. Otherwise the lamb trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Calves were in moderate supply, and good request, at full quotations. We were seasonably well supplied with pigs, in which very little business was transacted, on former terms.

COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR NENVOABRLE.—A colliery explosion took place between fiv ear Newcastle and six o'clock don Saturday morning at Silverdale, ne-ue Lyne, which occp.sioned Ole instant death of four per- EMS; and seriously injured a fifth. • • , . . .• J' la —I 1 d— I V 1 2 - 1 2i 31 id 12 60 4p November, will, however, be called out by the Sar dinian Government at the end of June. letter from Rome says :—" The Tribunal of t he Consults in full assembly, has confirmed t he se ntence against the presumed assassins of Count Rossi. Santo Costantini has been declared guilty t aking part in the execution of the crime, and ardom of having organised the conspiracy." TURIN, May 24.—The inauguration of the Susa a nd Turin Railway, though not a matter of deep Political importance, is by no means so insignifi rot a fact as the mere length of the line ( 32 , L glish mil e s) would indicate. In the first place, 4 marks another step in the march of improve- I n _eut which commenced. at Turin with represen tative Government ; and in the next it pro mises the happiest results as a means of bringing into closer union the varied populations of w hich this kingdom is composed, besides opening the co untry to freer intercourse with foreigner s, and a ffordin g some increased facilities to c ommerce. Vlla inauguration took place in the station at f 8 a) where the religious ceremony was per ruled by Monsignor Odone, the bishop of that di ocese, in presence of their Majesties the King and ?neen, the Duke and Duchess of Genoa , t h e Prince arignan the Ministers of the Crown, and a vast n umber of p er sons invited by the contractors, testrs. Brassey, Jackson, and flenfrey.. Every e i , llB knows, and every cne will admit, that the Esprit municipal" has for centuries been the bane of Italy, and for the object of destroying L eis evil genius it is impossible to overrate the im -I)ertance of a single mile of railway. It has been most justly said, "In Sardinia, at least, the lamp patriotism burns with a clear and effective flame. There no thi ng i s wild—nothing destructive ;" and, There Italy is ever to be save% by the hands of I " ` alians, it is clear enough from what q uarter sal vation must come." Looking, then , at the king aen:t of Sardinia as the base of operations for the great work of Italian regeneration, and reflecting tn what various peoples compose it, one cannot b ringing rejoice at every additional expedient for tinging them into more immediate relations with : 4 , 0 1 other, for the greatest difficulty that all , 1 11 atesmen have experienced in legislating for the ` 4l ferent interests of the 'Sardinian States has been 4 nt only their conflicting desires, but more fre quently their hereditary jealousies. In this way it 8 e asy to account for the much greater amount of e nthusiasm displayed on the occasion of this rail !aY opening than the extent of the undertaking 'nit suggest. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 22d, with the ex teePtioe of the Gazette, did not app ear —that da y 1 9g Monday. The Gazetie does not contain any Political news . A letter gives an account of the o 1 2enirig of the section from Trembleque to Alcazar 0 t !` the railway from Madrid to Almanza. The sec n is 28 leagues in length, and it was travelled in ree hours. The ceremony, which was attended by the 'Ministers, passed off without accident. Queen Christina was fully convalescent, and, when a little stronger, intended to leave for Aranjuez. SPORTING NOTES. A DERBY DAY-DREAM. i _ The my s t er y d ee pens. Speculation hourly undergoes tends are involved in ;perplexity and uncertainty. f l le_customed as turfi es are to talk about " open Der the it is questionable whether the long experience of oldest of them furnishes a parallel inhtance of a Derby be ing,, surrounded by so many doubts and difficult ies as the ~tl , e Whose seventy-fifth anniversary will be celebra ted on ::' ednesday. Advertising prophets may boast their certainties," and touts proclaim their " go od thin g s," b ut the only certainty which seems to exist is the cer t llity of the most seemingly accurate calculatio ns bein g "Piet, and the only good things which may be antici tted w ith con fid ence ar e the pigeon pies and champagne. ha ve the last seven days extraordinary chan g es a ye marked the betting ; the favourites ha ve been ,e t terly routed and compelled to retreat, and certai n horses h ave been su dd e nly promoted from the ranks of the out :alders t o i mportant pos iti on s. The origin of those move manta I will presently endeavour to explain. _ The field will, perhaps, comprise about twe nt y -five co mpetitors, and in racing slang, a more " ragged lot" o f starter's than the majority of them will form, p erha p s sever mustered at the post to contest a Derby. Reed, had, or indifferent, all are spo ken of as if Au chances were equal, and, indeed, the re is scarcel y animal that is likely to put in a n a pp earance but w hat numbers, accordinc , to its degree, some supporters ~b ler e or le s s sanguine of s uccess. To enumerate aeon citelY every horse likely to enter the lists, is somewhat qucult ; ma ny unforeseen circumsta nces ma y , at the eleventh'i h hour, induce owners of hor ses to alter Zeit intentions. Taking, ho wever, the betting th e 111 3' guide' in this matter , and on examining 6 published announcement of the " Horses Ar rived or expected," I am induced to believe that the t i bieined list will comprise the name of ev er y horse P1, 1 11 1138 e number is likely to figure on the telegraph board. e most probable absentees are printed in italics : Andover Alembi c GGorlellrßovraernch Tillreevw‘evarrior Autocrat Hermit Ostrogoth, tra mkei i to Hospodar Old N oll grave Knt. of St. George Papag eno ' - 'obby King Tons Prince Arthur Canut e Lord John Punchb ox Ch -.a m Dervish Marsyas The Tr a pp er .7, Marble Hill Wi ld Huntsman Dine of Lancaster Marley Hill Winkfield e arly Bird Middlesex Welh am ow Lord, The Mandricardo Woodcote AUTocuAT and KING , Tom are set down in the above le t as doubtful starters. Still, in certain well-informed tilnartera the belief is entertained that both will ab ow." An alleged heavy bet about the starting stopped in :his work, whilst others unhesitatingly aver that he has during the winter " been in slings." Let these reports, however, be how they will, the horse is now, it is agreed on all sides, in the finest bloom of health and condition. The public performances of Marsyas are, perhaps, more sati,factory than those of any other horse in the list of nominations. That he will run a good horse I am prepared to expect, but I shall be scarcely prepared to see him figure A 1 in the race. The pretensions of Neville are boastingly proclaimed by his part'sans, but they are strangely inconsistent with his puilic running. Still a vast improvement has been, it is reported, effected in his form, and he has, it is asserted, trained on most advantageously. To render his chance for the Derby formidable, however, the altera tion which has been effected in his form must be quite as great as his supporters believe. His trainer is, how ever, very " fond," and he has, it is said, tried him so highly that mistake is almost impossible. Wild Huntsman is again in full cry, but I shall not take the field with him. His running is not calculated to produce strung faith in his ability, and the reports which were once circulated about him, and which. seemed to be founded on truth, are little likely, despite his recent private display, to encourage his backers to increase their investments. Among the outsiders the most noteworthy names are Knisht of St. George, Champagne, and Belgrave. Canuts appears to be more likely to show to advantage " across country" than over the Derby course. The others I shall dismiss without comment. The tenour of the above remarks will sufficiently indi cate the conclusion at which I have arrived. Indeed, I have no hesitation in declaring that I deem the success of Dervish beyond a doubt, so great is my confidence in the judgment and skill of his trainer. Some doubts exist as to who will ride Dervish. Frank Butler will be, it is said, in a condition to ride him, but were Temple man to be " up" I shall not he surprised. The horses who seem, in my opinion, likely to comprise the first flight of competitors are—Dervish, Hermit, Andover, Trapper, Hospodar, Marsyas, and Knight of St. George. The first, second, and third positions may be filled as under : DERVIQ'H HERMIT, or ANDOVER THE TRAPPER Knight of St. Geor •e is my " cockboat." The proceedings will commence to-morrow with the Craven Stakes, for which my fancy is fur Kingston and Acrobat. Braxey, Snarry, The M..rchionees, and Miss Bolton, appear to be favourably handicapped for The Manor Plate. Should Ephesus, Orestes, and Bessy start for the Heathcote Plate, I shall expect them to pass the chair in the order in which I have set down their names. The Woodcote Stakes will introduce to the public a brother to Autocrat, called the Russian, and some other "youngsters," of whom report speaks highly. I shall, however, " stand on" a public runner "against the dark division," and select the Flatterer. Should Braxey not start for the Manor Plate I shall expect either her or Vanderdecken to win the Summer Handicap. My "fancies" for the other events must be thus briefly expressed :—For the Carew Stakes I select Ephesus ; for the Town Plate, Inder, Mishap, and Kennyside Hero ; and for the Great Exhibition Plate Noisette, Snarry, and Roebuck. The Cup Race will excite no little interest. At present my opinion is divided between Kingston and Rataplan. The former, however, may prove the winner. I shall reserve my comments on the Oaks, and other movements, until Wednesday or Thursday. Should any important movemeatbe made in the Turf Market to-day, or any trustworthy information of an interesting nature reach me, I will throw some rough notes together for to-morrow's publication.

Memoirs and Correspondence of Maior-General Sir William Nott, G.C.B. Edited by J. H. Stocqueler. Two Vols. Hurst and Blackett. These volumes have been edited by the author of " The Life - of the Duke of Wellington," at the request of the daughters of Sir William Nott, from documents in their exclusive possession. Some years after his death, there appeared in the Quar terly Review a notice of his career in Affghauistan, in which a hope was expressed that the whole of his letters would be given to the public. His daugh ters, although desirous of doing so, hesitated for some time to publish what might censure or com promise any livin g characters. Feeling, however, that a truthful record of the war in South Affghan istan was much needed, and knowing that in his last illness the General had made a selection from his correspondence with the intention of publishing it, they determined to fulfil his intentions, leaving the duty of selection in the hands of the editor, and also the task of adding a memoir. Ho asserts, that in the performance of his difficult undertaking, it has been his object "to discard every letter that might unnecessarily give umbrage to deserving men." The memoir is consequently written in a spirit of impartiality and calmness that excludes all per sonal allusions or detractions. Commencing with au account of his childhood, and the accidental cir cumstance that first turned his inclinations from his agricultural pursuits, and prevented the futur hero of Candahar from remaining an obscure farm. ,• the narrative gives a complete though concise his tory of his military exploits, and the chief events of his domestic life. It carries him through the long years of neglect, and the subsequent distinc tions which he little valued, through the weary time of inaction and the exciting period of the command of Candahar and the conquest of Ghuznee, to the conclusion of his eminent services and the close of his mortal career. In 1844 he re turned to England, where every honour was paid him, but his health was little suited for these fes tivities, having rapidly failed. On the Ist of Jan., 1845, he died, and a public funeral was decreed. It was decided. to erect a monument of him on the spot where the closing days of his life were spent. "In the exercise of all the duties of private life no man was more exemplary than General Nutt. The pure tenets of Christianity formed the basis of all his actions, but his religion was always unobtrusive. His charity was boundless. No better proof of it can be given than his instructions to nis daughters to follow his example in society, and pay the greatest attention to those, if worthy, who were the most neglected by others. Children loved him—the poor followed him with their prayers. The rude Afighans, who abhorred the Christian abstractedly, reverenced the just and simple-minded soldier, who, at the head of ten thousand men, held their provinces in subjection. He was a just man in all his dealings, but lie ever tempered jus tice with mercy. He loved truth for its own sake, and he held honour to be ' above life,' ' The noble mind's distinguishing perfection, That aids and strengthens virtue where it meets her.' "His occasionally strong and bitter denunciations of the political and military authorities who misdirected the affairs of the British in Affghanistan were not the effusions of a warm and angry temper, but the over flowings of a heart which recoiled from the oppressions, follies, and dangers which marked the whole course of their policy, and the injustice to his own branch of the service of which they were the frequent authors. In long after-years the descendants of the General will cherish his memory for his many noble public acts, and his private worth, and in British military annals he will live for ever as one of the best and finest specimens ever produced of the Company's officers." THE PROPhETIC PAMPHLET OF 1834 From the remarkable anonymous pamphlet, pub lished in 1834 by Ridgway of Piccadilly—a pam phlet to which we have already, in our leading columns, made particular reference, as one contain ing arguments startling from their display of prescience on tie part of the unknown pamphleteer —we may make the following additional extracts, as particularly entitled, at this moment, to the popular consideration " Austria and Prussia cling to Russia because exposed to dismemberment by every movement of France, be cause exposed to internal commotion every hour : Russia is their refuge against both dangers, while she, secure in her distance, her climate, and her poverty, pre pares a crisis in which the various states of Europe will mutually exhaust and destroy each other. In the en deavour of both to swallow up the estates of Germany, they are supported by Russia, they are opposed by 'France ; hence a double source of dependence on her, by the objects she can favour, by the hostile influence she can counteract. What would Russia be to-day but for the rivalry of England and France ? What would she be without the war of liberalism and despotism ? It is in these contests she has been aggrandised ; these contests are necessary to her future agarandisement. France is the object of attack. France must, therefore, look on each accession to the strength of either of the Allies—not as on a question of foreign or commercial influence, but as ammunition introduced into a hostile fort, as a reinforcement entering into an enemy's camp on the eve of battle. " In this state of real hostility, what must the conse• quence be of the accession of all the resources of the Turkish Empire to the Northern Alliance ? From that hour Russia is invulnerable—a few thousand men suffice to guard her southern and eastern frontiers— her attention is all concentrated in the West. A very few years will double and triple her revenue. The com merce of Europe will be in her hands—in her control will be placed all the materials at present used in the arsenals of France. The influence and commerce of France is immediately arrested in the sea hitherto her own ; and at any hour Russia may transport her Cossacks to the shores of Italy or of Spain to support the factions and the principles which, even at present, cause her so much inquietude. These circumstances will react on Belgium, on Germany, on internal faction. The very hour that Russia is entrenched at the Dar danelles these consequences will be evident. Then will the time he at hand for carrying into execution the plans so carefully matured in the three Cabinets, and for extinguishing, by a third occupation, the spirit that inspires such terrors to the Northern Courts. " England, to-day the ally of France. will she be so then ? Can she eend fleets or armies to her support Clearly impossible. 'Whatever may be her sympathy England cannot again engage in a continental war— and this struggle will be confined to the dry land. " It such consequences flow from the occupation of Turkey, is not that question one of existence for France? Supposing it possible for these consequences to be de layed is it less so ? A nation's life does not run out with the few sand glasses that mark the period of indi vidual existence. The life of a nation is its system ; that life in France is already seriously compromised, and a few steps further gained by Russia, its'L fate becomes inevitable. " But reanimate the Ottoman Empire, the whole future is instantaneously reversed. Russia will be ar rested where she is, and prevented from becoming anything save that which she is—poor, exposed, and vulnerable in her rear, if she foments or permits a movement in Europe. While the Dardanelles are Turkish, Russia can never dare to irritate the maritime powers ; and the plan of the three Courts would never have been dreamt of, save in the confidence of first possessing that position. Even were a war necessary to reanimate Turkey, France now chooses her time, instead of Rus sian choosing hers. She has the whole Ottoman empire, with its immense power of resistance, to oppose her; she avoids the armies of Germany, if they are hostile ; and she calls in the maritime, and, still more important, the moral force, of England. Success is certain, and the means insignificant. She requires 500,000 men, besides the National Guards, to be prepared against the contin gencies of European affairs. " The fleet actually at sea, and the displacement of 20,000 mon, would, in three months, solve the Turkish question entirely in her favour, carrying, as a conse quence, every European obstacle—giving the last blows to the Carlists and revolutionists at home, and setting at rest the irritations in the Peninsula and Belgium, ex cited by Russia and her compeers—to divert her atten tion from the field, where she has only to appear to be victorious—and to comprehend, to appear. " Not less imperative are the interests of England. The Northern co mbination, political against Fran ce, is commercial against England. This subject demands a separate and more detailed exposition. S . uo to ffice it for the present to say, that the countries theconsuming value of thirty millions of ex p orts would be placed under the immediate control of the Coalition, and, of course, under the regulations o f the Russian tariff; not as it is to-day, but such as it would be when the mask is wholly drop , - ped. What would the effect on the internal state of England be if a con siderable diminution of exportations But it is only the direct effects of the tariffs oocfctlrireed l Coalition that is to be apprehended. Would it not command the tariffs of Northern and Southern America ? Are the opening prospects of commerce, not to speak of that actually existing in Turkey alone, of no importance ? Is it nothing to see projects maturing her direct communication with India through the Turkish territory, while the Danube is rendered navigable, while canals are about to connect that stream with the other rivers of Austria and with those of Russia, Prussia, and Bavaria, so as to establish a direct communication between the manufacturing districts of Germany with the marts of Turkey, Persia, Egypt, Arabia, and' even India itself ? Is it for England to allow freedom of commerce to be extinguished in the only portion of Europe where it exists ? Is it for England to allow an empire, a principle of whose existence is freedom of com merce, to be swallowed up by the most restrictive power on the face of the earth ? Is it for England to allow the first commercial position in the world to be occupied by such a power ? These motives would not have been appreciated by Lord Chatham ; they did not then exist, because the fiscality of Russia had not been deve loped, when he said with all the concentration of deep conviction, With the man who cannot ap preciatel the interests of England in the preserva tion of the Ottoman Empire, I will not argue." While the three Powers coalesce, first for the partition of Turkey, that they may march, as the St. Petersburg Gazette* hays already ventured to threaten, 'by Constan- * This memorable article hi the St. Petersburg Gazette was, on the reclamation of France and England, disa vowed, but afterwards published in the Yassy Of Ga zette, and produced a strong sensation on the Russian troops then occupying the provinces. #C t 1 -if .*!7 * . ,;4 7i k 1....m....••••••■•..............0. tinople to Paris,' they look with less co cse() .botti ? 4... vi t ) t, partition of the commercial prosperity of4re:at.,Bol44:::# - 'jli? l,7 " On the occupation of the Dardanellk , A4WAtrf 2:-14 ' Xe 4 S i e_ .l- ; -• the importance of our positions in the I lL evitnt ''7 sts'.,',l 7 Os were only valuable because the Turks held fhesc .strittry sei - sl4 Y When Russia is there they are valueless, and 1 soot -:-.• - be untenable ; although the expenses of harassing Ols- l'w servations may greatly increase our internal embarass ments. _ . " But Russia here also has views distinct from her .. allies. Our Indian possessions—shall we fight for them. iii the Dnieper, as directing the whole Mussulman na tion ; or shall we fight for them on the Indus, at Bag dad, or in Persia single-handed, close to the insurrec tions she will raise in her rear, and when she is in pos session of Turkey ? In the Black Sea we have France • to support us. Russia, by her principles, her interests, and her designs must wage war to the knife with Eng land and France. Having possessed herself of Turkey, she can choose her time ; her power being manifold, augmented, and being rendered invulnerable, she unites indissolubly to her Austria and Prussia —she dissolves the union of England and France by the fact of its use lessness ; she attaches the interests and influence of each in detail, without the possibility of the one giving sup port to the other. England and France, by attacking her now, cast upon her the mass of Ottomans—provoke to independence the whole of the unwilling subjects she has acquired since 1779—neutralise her now subservient allies. England obtains the co-operation of France, which would be impossible on the Indus. " France obtains the co-operation of England, which she will not obtain on the Rhine. Russia's spirit of conquest, which torments and menaces every corner in Europe, will be extinguished—her banners arrested along 7,he 3,000 miles of their progressive movement, from the Vistula and to the Arapes—her power lost in Europe— her face for ever"turned from the east and south. "We have more than once repeated that the allies of Russia united to her in Western policy, united to her in the abandonment of the Ottoman empire, are neces sarily detached from her by the division of England and France to restore the Turkish empire. To develope this. idea, which alone contains the solution of the whole question, we must examine the interests and motives which, under different circumstances, may determine the policy of Austria. Of Prussia we need not speak. Removed from the scene of action, she is influenced by many of the considerations which influence Austria ; and besides, she has to reserve herself for interests of a higher nature that claim her undivided attention, and' . - which make even her military power too necessary, too ..,.. dear to the maintenance of the territorial integrity of a . plain and intersected country to be expended on any foreign quarrel whatever thatidoes not compromise and increase that integrity. " Austria, the old enemy of Turkey, has already been enriched by recovered Hungary, Livonia—Austrian Croa tia wrested from that empire. A hundred years ago she was inspired with the hopes of the possession of European Turkey and Constantinople ; but another enemy of Turkey has arisen, another competitor of Aus tria—Russia has succeeded to these expectations. "It then became Austria's policy to unite with Tar- . I, , key to repress the Northern invader ; but the Bard of the Polish partition reduced her to insignificance, subserviency, and silence. Still, as the power of Russia has increased, her indecision has diminished ; and during the last war she was prepared to pour her armies into Wallachia, and did not do so only because England was engaged on the side of!Russia, Give Turkey support ; she too will support her. Leave her to her Russian enemy, and Austria will seek to profit by the catastrophe she has not been able to prevent. " But her interest in the Turkish question is a portion of many cases. Her first object is that of self-preserva tion. The first shot fired on the Rhine or in the west of Europe will be levelled against her existence. Her government is under the control of a high aristocracy— an aristocracy in the great Sclavonic and Hungarian divisions of the empire, essentially feudal, without a middle class between it and the serfs, whose position is not far superior to those of Russia. But this system, precarious as it is, has not the advantage of unifosmity. The supremacy of the Government and of the local arise. tocracies depends on employing the military means of one province to enforce submission in another ; and is ' the precarous submission depenls not only- the unity of the empire, but the existence of the aristocracy who direct its policy. The preservation of peace is,-there fore, the first of Austrian interests, which she must maintain by the sacrifice of all external interests, if ne cessary. But it her political state loudly deprecates every external collision, her financial state not less im peratively demands repose. Her fiscal regulations can suffer no violent disturbance, and the age and antece dents of Metternich and the Emperor render them equally pacific. " France, by her principles, alone endangers Austria, and the system of government on which Austria de pends. The interests of France, moreover, are opposed to the consolidation of Austrian supremacy in Germany and Italy. The power of - France, if she is powerful, will deprive her of that supremacy, and expose it to an attack in case of war. The principles of France, no less hostile than her interests—no less dangerous than her power—combine with both to render that supremacy precarious, even under the most favourable despotism, of the Government of France. But the Government of France being popular, it is evident that neither the in terests nor the popular principles of the nation can in any case be long excluded from action on her foreign policy. A change of administration would follow, and bring with it a violent reaction. Therefore, no compact, no treaty, no alliance, no concession that is in the power of France to make, can in any degree calm the alarms, or soothe the hostility of Austria. But France at this moment does exert an opposing influence in Germany ; she noes hold Ancona. For three centuries the views of Austria have been fixed on Italy. Her principal influence in Europe depends on her possession of Lombardy, and on her control over the remainder of the Peninsula. Her Italian possessions furnish a large contingent to her arms and a large portion of her revenue. Her possessions on the Adriatic give an outlet to her whole empire for its industry, and nourish that industry by foreign produce. But they are so dependent on the pressure of a strong body of Austrian troops, that Prince Metternich has declared that the principle of interven tion is a vital question for Austria ; so that, while French intervention puts these possessions in the greatest hazard, the recognition by France and England of the principle of non-intervention is fatal to her posses sions, if she is obliged to conform to it ; while its mere proclamation multiplies her difficulties and her dangers. " While France maintains so large a military force on foot, Austria must maintain her actual establishment, disproportioned to her means, beyond the resources of her treasury. Yet no combination can diminish this necessity ; because, were Franco even to reduce her standing army, she could not dismiss her National Guard, become now a portion of her institutions—a vital part of those principles already in their moral character so dan gerous to Austria. These considerations may so deeply affect the mind of Prince Metternich, that he may con sider all remoter interests or apprehensions of little im portance, when compared with the necessity of diminish. ing the power of France, since he cannot expect to modify her principles by anything short of a third occu pation. " The means of doing so present themselves in per mitting Russia to occupy Constantinople. From Russia she has no moral danger to apprehend ; on the contrary, she has to look to her alliance and her predominance for support at home. The territorial aggrandisement and the increase of the political power of Russia would strengthen the influence of Austria over Germany and Italy, while Prince Metternioh may hope to counter bslance them by additions to the territory of Austria in R o umelia—additions which may furnish uncontaminated nurseries of soldiers to subdue revolutionary principles in other provinces. There would certainly be no com parison between the accession of the strength of Russia and of Austria ; but Prince Metternich may be more impressed with dangers of an internal than of an exter nal kind ; and he may suppose that Russia having anew field opened to her ambition, her views will be directed to the East, her energies and resources absorbed in the pursuit, and all the dangers for Austria postponed to a remote period—remote; and until the attainment of results subject to many contingencies. That in the meantime the animosity of Russia must be directed against France; and Russia msst be riot only little inclined to quarrel with Austria, but desirous to augment her strength, for the furtherance of their common objects. Prince Metternich will consider that Russia at C o nstantinople would come into immediate contact with France ; that the animosity which had animated for so ninny years both . Governments, while the whole of Germany was inter posed between them, would necessarily be exasperated ; so many interests, on which Russia can now exercise a remote and uncertain influence, would thus be subject to daily interference , control, and menace. R uss i an in fluence and commerce would become predominant in the Mediterranean, in Egypt, in Greece, her navies threaten ing, and Ler Cossacks within reach of Italy, Spain, Corsi ca, and Algiers.
