FOREIGN AFFAIRS, THE MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. The Earl of Malmsbury, after a few preliminary remarks, observed that, for a long period of years our sympathies had been closely bound up with the Austrian people, whose names had been associated with our own in many a glorious page of history, At the same time, however, there had always been a vast difference between the forms of govern ment in the two countries, for whilst in one there prevailed a despotic government, in the other freedom was essential to its existence. There could be no question that Austria had a right by virtue of treaty to a certain portion of Italy, bnt liaving stretched forth ber hands to other Italian provinces which did not belong to her, she had become extremely unpopular in Italy, and, to a certain extent, in this, country also. With Sardinia, also, this country bad very sincerely sytnpathised, and her conduct in the recent Russian war bad strengthened the friendship which before existed between these two countries. But Sardinia appeared lately to have forgotten that her mision was one of example, and that every victory she gained which - was not in support of her own liberties, or her own preservation, was fruitless of results, and could, lead to no, good on the continent of Europe. With reference to Franre, it was difficult to understand why that great nation, with the most equal climate in the world, and her vast resources, should seek to interfere with the internal affairs of other -countries with which she had no interest. France, however, expressed a desire to reform certain abuses in Italy, and an estrangement of feeling between Austria and France was the consequence. This state of things grew worse from day to day, until, by the end of Rebruary, it became so threatening, that her, Majesty's Government thought it necessary to send - Lord Cowley to Vienna. Lord Cowley was received in the most friendly manner by the Court of Austria. and it was hoped that the communications which took place between Lord Cowley and Count 13n,1 might have resulted in a settlement of the Italian difficulty. But when Lord Cowley returned to Paris, he found that the Russian minister had in the meantime proposed to France a Congress, and that . step having been communicated to her. Majesty's govern ment, he (the Earl of Malmesiptry) assented to it, and on the 22nd of March, he informed Baron Brnnow of his assent, and submitted four points as the basis of the pro ceedings of the Congress. These four points-were acceded to by Russia and the other .powers. A. discussion then arose as to the composition of the Congress and the necessary preliminaries to be undertaken. Her Majesty's government thought that there should he a general dis-. armament before the Congress met. That point was not yet settled, but the question of the compositinn of the Congress had been determined. Russia proposed that the Congress should consist only of the five great powers, blither Majesty's government being desirous that the Italian states should have an opportunity of being present in some way or another, proposed that they should he allowed to be called in when ever their presence might be reqnired. The government pointed out that there were precedents for the course, and that it would he in no way derogatory to the Italian States. Sardinia, however, claimed to he admitted to the . congress as one of the contending parties, but this was resisted by all the great powers, and, finally, the propositions of her Majesty's Government -was acceeded to. This matter PM settled whilst the question of disarmament was still under discussion, Austria declined to enter into the -congress unless Sardinia disarmed. After considerable dis-euzsion, Austria and France had agreed to the principle of disarmament, but they had not agreed as yet to the time or the manner in which the disarmament shod I take place. Sardinia. who had been invited to disarm on the same prin ciple as Austria and France, hail not yet agreed to do so, and she grounded her refusal upon the fact of her exclusion from the congress. In conclusion, the noble earl expessed himself strongly in favour of ncace, alleging that such a war as was tie contemplation, if once undertaken, would upheave elements, the settlement of which. could not he hoped for in our days. He urged the Ministers of those countries to consider how great the responsibilities were which rested on them, and how fearful the calamities were which must flow from war. Should war be inevitable, and come at last, her Majesty's government would have the satisfaction of knowing that they had neglected no one measure which could, by any possibility, avert such a catastrophe, and might Almighty God forgive - those who were the occasion of it.. (Cheers.) The Earl of _Clarendon entered into a discursive series of obserVations on the question. He said that if a real and sincere desire for peace had existed between the several powers, the matter might have been brought to a success ful issue, without a Congress, and all the difficulties which had arisen might have been avoided. The Earl of Derby said, that the present position of affairs was nearly in that point that England would declare she had exhausted ail means of conciliation, and that she would withdraw from all further interference, leaving the other powers the responsibility of violating peace, and deluging Enrope with blood. England would in that case studiously withdraw from the contest, pre serving :he . pos:f on of an actual neutrality. He com mented on the extreme probability that A war when once kindled might extend over the whole of Europe. He remarked that Lord Cowley, on his return from Vienna, was in possession of the means whereby the consent of France and Austria to a good understanding might have been obtained. This Hood result, however, was destroyed by the proposal of Russia for the assem bling of a Congress, so the matter then dropped. The Appropriation and other Bills were then read a third time, and passed. The House'then adjourned at 7.30. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TAT T ERS ALL' S.—YESTERDAY. LATEST BETTING.

On Kelley the matriculation of the Oxonian steeple chases t,ok place at Aylesbury, and on the same day the early York meeting was inaugurated in the same way, over some real and some artificial fences -on and about the Knavesmire. There a comfortable bet was won by the owner of Chance, who landed for him a cool thousand on a treble event., the Londesborough Great Handicap having been the third, after the other two had come off at Driffield. Tattersall's was quitted at an early hour by the turfites (who had not gone to see the horses jump) for the flat-racing and yearling-sellin,g, on Tuesday. On that morning the °Teat lounge was Rawcliffe Forty younglin7,s, with a tall family tree blooming over each, were to be disposed of by public auction;- a capital cold collation had to he attack e d, and the race-course had to be reached before the Minster clock had sounded two for more than one half hour, Those things required time; a fact of which they who went to buy and staved to cat, seemed to be totally unaware. t.n miserably slack in spirit were the bidders, either in regard to pocket or inclination, or both, that even Mr. Johnson. usei as he is to the wariness and caution of the canny tykes of the north country, could not draw them out. Or► having knocked down six of The Dutchman's daughters for £2Bl, he asked them if they would like to have the colts for noth ing►, and very wisely adjourned the sale. The profit of the Raw.•liffe stud has this year been a loss. It is an early period at which to sell young thorogh-breds, which may in some me/gum account for the unwillingness of purchasers to come forward. The sellers ought also to recollect that by :posing of their yearlings in the middle of April they arc effecting a vast saving in the pasturage and the hay and corn, which would have been consumed had they kept these forty mouths "eating o' nights" until the latter end of August. The company deserves to prosper, for all is done on those extensive premises in a liberal and artistic manner. A large host of animals is there assembled, and the healthy anneirance exhibited by all is ample evidence of the pains taken with them. The racing in the afternoon was snfficient amusement for a day which had begnn so early, the muster at 'Wycliffe Paddocks having commenced at ten o'clock. In the big event of the Poring meeting Gladiolus again showed his powers of staving on ground which was in parts protected from the sun's rays, and consequently wet and holding Mr. Merry's colours went. to the van on two occasions with two-year-olds, Lady Falconer having on Tuesday beaten Rattlebone awl eight others with ease. and Thormanbv having on Wednesday run clear away from the same colt and thr e mere. The last race of Tuesday had a deal of interest for Yorkshiremen ; it was won by an untried filly belonging to Mr. Watt a name revered in days gone by as the breeder end owner of many a gond horse, whose feats are recorded in the pages of Weatherby. Wednesday gave us a taste of the quality of Nimrod, who won almost in a walk, and is looked upon by judges as the certain wiener of the Two Thousand ; further on that matter this deponent sayeth not. He is a remarkably clean -looking, lengthy horse, had cut down his opponents by ' the time they had run 200 yards. and came in all alone. Meg Merriliei was a sort of second ; the others did not venture so far as the "ending post." Burgomaster proved his powers of going through dirt by winning the Londes bornegn Cue ; and Gladiolus showed his owner. in the Flying Dutchman's Handicap, that goodness may he over taxed ; he ran exceedingly well for a mile and a quarter; at the end of which. the 9th. told their tale and extinguished his hones. Upon the whole, York spring 'Meting must he deemed a prosperous one. Milton has afforded two nice little day's sport for those who live at a distance from the great metropolis, on Thursday and Friday. The latter day has amused the Londoners, who will go to Epsom to see anything called a race. This Spring Aleeting at the town of salts has been established and succeeded for neon years. At its early dawn it was supported by the publicans; at its close it is supported by the public. Painhow has gone into Mr. Iltwson'A stables at Compton. The celebrated old steeple-chaser The British Yeoman, who, since his retirement, has been occasionally treated with a sight of the Oakley and Fitzwilliam Honnds, was destroyed last week, in consequence of leg infirmities, at the seat of J.

Tan Gaanots IN Jo aDANT-eTnEET.—John Coden. Pa Cosgrove, and Paddy Duffy, three "awful" looking ruffians, well known to the police as thi eves, and whose heads and faces seemed considerably "macadamised," were charged with having broken the house of John Cex, boarding neuter, 50, Jordan-street, and for having viole n tl y assaulted that person and four (Tr five sailors who lodged in the house. The character given by the police to the " genttemen a WAS fully equal to their app earance . It ap pt theeare b r," d ' t i hat these fellows arc the terrer of Jordan -street and the locality, and that they resorted to all sorts of stra tagems, including housebreaking, to procure money. On Sunday night, at eleven o'clock, they were turned out of a public-house, where they had been drinking, not having any more money. They hat observed, previous to that time, that some sailor's had just arrived at Cox's honse. One of the prisoner's proposed they should go there, and make them "pay their footing." They marched to the house, and knocked at the door, which was opened by Cox. Duffy, who was the biggest of the men, and the biggest blackguard also, demanded 2a at once. Cox asked him for what? Oh, we'll show you just now," was the reply. Cox, seeing there wag some miirchier intended, shut the door, when it .- was immediately smashed in, and the prison ers rus hed i n an d c o mmence" " licking " all before them The got pekcre and tongs, and the like, and went on "slashing" away. Cox was knocked down and beaten ; some of the sailors came to his assistance, and they were also floored. After a seine or same hour or so, about half a battalion of pollee, from the south end. were marched into Jordan-street, when "sling shots," and brick hats, pieces of wood, slates, &c., flew about like balls at Inkerman. At last the prisoners were captured, after a desperate struggle. It was proved that the two first named prisoners had broken in the door, the value of which and other depredations, was Li. The prisoners said they were " murdered," and " kilt" inside the house. and that they, if justice was done them, should be the com plainants. His Worship said, the else was clearly prdveJ, and it was a very brutal act. He tidied Daffy £2, or two months imprisonment, and the other £2 103 each, or two months imprisonment. CHARGE AGAINif TWo Seteens.—henry White, an able seaman, on board the ship Courier, from In tin, was charged by the master, Captain Clink, under the 243rd section apt the Merchant Shipping Act, with having- embezzled certain portions of the carp, and a second charge was made against him, for having endeavoured to entice men to desert from the ship, and this charge was under the 257th section of the same act. William Rates, another sailor, was charged under the 243rd section, with embezzling and broaching the cargo. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Black for the prisoners. Mr. Cobb stated that the vessel was a British ship, and that, whilst at Rangoon, the prisoner White had broached the cargo, and tried to induce other men to desert. He would prove that the prisoner Bates was got actually tapping one of the beer barrels, and this was not only a forfeiture of wages, but subjected the offender to imprison ment. He called the following witnesses to prove the case : James Fyre, the chief officer of tire Courier, proved that the prisoner was an able seaman on hoard. The vessel was outward bound to Rangoon. Part of the cargo consisted of wine, spirits, and beer ; some cases of the latter were broken, and casks broached. CaUght Bates drawing the beer from the cask to a bucket ; held him there till the cap tain came. He began to cry for mercy. I entered it in the log, and the captain read it over to the prisoner at Rangoon. The beer was part of the cargo. White was an able seaman on board. Cross-examined by Mr. Black : ' If was nt Rangoon I first found him broaching the cargo. The prisoner was taken on shore before the magistrate, for insubordination and insolence to the officers. He had committed the two offences at that time; he was imprisoned for a month. There was art entry in the log that stated the prisoner was to be tried in England for broaching the cargo, as he could not he tried at Rangoon for that. The ship sailed from London, and the lumpers there take liberties with cargo. Captain Clink was then called, and said : I had White before the magistrates at Rangoon. He corroborated the evidence of the mate. -To Mr. Black : He said he did not see White broach the cargo. He could not tell how much was due to the prisoners, but perhaps about £2O. Thomas Hargreaves, the cook of the ship, stated, that he heard White say he was going to run away from the ship, at twelve o'clock at night, along with a man named Powell, and he told Powell to pack up their clothes aid ge on shore. John Elder, the carpenter of the ship. was examined, but his evidence -was not mate' ial it was proved that the clothes of White and Ravel' were packed up, but the men were prevented from absconding. The captain said he was charged fer three casks of beer at about £3 each, and there was a large quantity of bottled beer taken also, but •he could not tell how much. Mr. Block then addressed the court, and com plained of the manner in which White had been treated, because there was nothing proved against him. His Worship said he did not think there was sufficient evidence against White, and dischar ge d hi m. Mr. R Ruck then spoke on behalf of Itates, and contended that there was no legal evidence against him except that he t oo k some b eer at Rangoon, and that lie had been punished for that at Ran. • goon already. His Worship thought the case proved, and sent Bates to jail for four weeks. POCKET PICKING. -Two well-known characters, named John Mitchell and William M'Gurk, were chan, - ed with. picking pockets in John's Market. M r -Bl ac k 'defended. The evidence given against the prisoners was by a person named John Birtles, a butcher in St John's Ma'rket, who stated that he saw the prisoners pick a lady's pocket of a purse and two penny pieces. Mr. Black : Are you a butcher on your own account ? Oh, yes, sir, I am. And are you not very fond of being an amateur detective ? Oh, yes sir, certainly. Mr. Black : You have been an amateur detective before you got into business ? Oh, yeS sir, indeed I have. And you have a sort of old feeling that way still? Oh, yes sir, certainly. Mr. Muck : Then you are as fond of amateuring as you are of killing sheep ? Oh, yes sir, every bit, sir. Is the lady here who lost the twopenee ? Oh, not at all, sir. The prisoners were remanded. MURDER NEAR TRALF.E.—A man, named John Morgan, murdered his wife on Tuesday night, at Cahirhean, and absconded. To SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS.—A most profitable article of export, to warm climates e3pcciallv, are the Self cleansing Charcoal Filte:•s, patented by Messrs. Saunders and Co., of 16, Parker-street, Liverpool—in fact they are invaluable wherever there is bad water. S. and Co. allow a liberal discount on export and wholesale orders. A letter from St. Petersburgh states that the owners and captains of ninety-two English merchant vessels which frequent the port of Cronstadt had presented an address to the Grand Duke Constantine, expressing gratitude highness e the a in the dun- recently taken by order of his imperial e fo sp r ec im ia p n r y ov fo in r g the nal• gerous spots. An attorney nani g l a ß tio o n bi Robin?, after establishment r to L i f f' t e e l r iGghuts l suffering six months' imprisonment, was finally, on Friday, struck off the rolls for having appropriated £l5, which had been entrusted to him for professional purposes. He pleaded that though he had used the money it was with the hope of being able to return it, and, therefore, he asked for the mercy of the court. The judges, however, would not admit any excuse, and accordingly his name was erased. The adaptability of Australia and South Africa to the growth of cotton, of the most useful as well as the finest qualities, is placed beyond doubt, by the samples now at Manchester of cotton recently grown in those colonies. l,,ui je h ute e ..; Cotton Supply Reporter (issued by the Manchester Associa tion), of Saturday, publishes further correspondence n.ceived from both these localities.
