FORZION AFFAIPS.

Intimating that the French press, through its peculiar
position, is allowed oirk blanche in Utopia, in compen-
sation for the restrictions imposed on its dealings with the
real world, the Daily News proceeds to interpret in this
way certain speculations which have excited alarm in
Switzerland and P.elgium. The pretexts on which previous
imperial interventions have been undertaken do not apply
to either of these cassia. The sanity of judgment which
seldom deserts the present ruler of France, and which
speedily corrects even where it is unable to prevent his
aierrations of the moment, makes it improbable even to
tie verge of impossibility that he should meditate any
experiment on the temper of Europe so dangerous as
that which would be involved in an ads* on two of
its freest, most orderly, prosperous, and pacific states.
In the Emperor's remarks two months ego respecting the
disappearance of secondary states he had to allay the ap-
prehensions of his people and was possibly framing his
general theory to suit a particular instance. Another
theory will be ready, doubtless, when other circumstances
call for it. In the true sense of nationality—one which
does not confound an ethnological fact with • political
sentiment—Switzerland and Belgium are nations as legi-
timate as any which Europe contains, and their er'd dice
is incontestably protected by the principle which is mis-
employed to assail it.
Discussing Baron Ricasoli's circular on the Roman
question, the Times comes to the methadon that the Pope
is not likely to desert his post in Rome, though his fight
would not materially alter the consummation of affairs.
The Pope cannot dispense with Rome and Italy. What
he may be capable of in the way of inconsistency and
sudden revulsion of feelings no man in the world can
foresee. Take away the //erodes, the Reisachs, the Itn-
pen, loops the Manning*, the Spalding i, end other dan-
gerous ultramontane advisers, and you may still have in
the querulous Pontiff of 1886 the popular Pio None of
1847. And if the Pope will again sow blessings, he will
be sure once more to reap applause.
The Herald has suddenly deserted the cause of the tem-
poral power, having defended it up to the present time on
the ground of policy as well as of right. It retem to his
Holiness today as " the poor old priest who fulminates in
hie impotence from his desolation at the Vatican," and

DESTRUCTIVE PIRE AT A TAVERN.

(THIS DAY.)

A most destructive fire occurred this morning at
at the Victoria Tavern, Pomeroy-street, Old Kent-road, in
the occupation of Mr. Hutchinson. The fire was disco-
vered raging in the business part of the premises, about
halt-past 4 o'clock, and an alarm, was immediately
given and the whole of the inmates were fortunately
rescued. Messengers were despatched to the different
I,s-engine stations, and several engines attended, but for
some time were unable to be of any service, no water
being procurable. The fire continued to burn with great
fmy, being increased by the dock of spirita taking fire.
On the engines being got to work, every effort was made
to extinguish the fire, and after some time the firemen
succeeded in doing so. The result of the fire, however,
sas that the tavern was completely gutted, and several of
the houses much damaged, and also some of the Nelson
omnibuses in an adjoining yard. It is believed that Mr.
Hutchinson is insured, and that the fire occurred through
an escape of gas.

We (Leeds Mercury) understand that the Mid-
land Railway Company have made such arrangements that
they hope to be able to resume the passenger traffic from
Leeds to Bradford, Lancashire, and Scotland, rid the
Leeds and Bradford line, on Thursday. The traffic, to
Apperley will be resumed to-morrow.

A SAD CASE. —A sad case is reported from Corn-
WO. It appears from evidence adduced at an inquest
held at St. Stephen's, near St. Austell, on Friday, before
Mr. Carlyon, county coroner, that about a fortnight ago •
Mild named Samuel Case, years old, WY playing with
his sister Elizabeth, who is under three years of age. Some
diwgreement took place, and the boy, in • great passion,
took up a light pick and struck his sister on the top of the
bead. Blood issued at once very profusely from the
wound, and the poor child's shrieks promptly brought
anistaace. The parents put some plaster on the wound,
and the sufferer was taken to a medical imian, who,
in a few
days, pronounced the cam to be less, and his
titerlictions were verified on Thursday, when the child
died after suffering great agony. The coroner, in summing
up to the jury, said there could be no doubt that the de-
ceased died from injuries received at the hands of her
brother. but as he was under seven years of age the law
held that he was not responsible for his actions. A verdict
aoxvilingly was returned. It appears that six months ago
the lame lad set tire to a pigs' house, adjoining • dwelling-
house, and, in consequences, propertyeee destroyed to the
extent of nearly lOW.

INTELLIGENG

LA'
AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

The Avenir Nationa/ of to-day says :—" The"
situation has not been modified to any great extent
since yesterday, but the eurteat' of news still runs
in the direction of war. As yet we are without
precise information ss to the effect produced in
Vienna by the Prussian note, but if we may judge
from the tone of the ministerial journal it was not
well received. Either Prussia, they say, will ac-
cept the jurisdiction of the Diet, and in tit* case
she will submit to the judgment pronounced on the
question of the duchies ; or she will refuse
and then there will be no time to lose in coming to
a federal execution. We are already aware from
the reply of Prussia, that she has no intention of
recognising the validity of a federal decree, and
still leas of asking for it. Most of the
smaller States are openly preparing for war.
Their feeling of hostility to the policy
of Prussia is well known at Berlin, but this cir-
cumstance seems to have had no influence on
Count von Bismarck, the arrogance of whose
conduct is as marked as ever. The question now
is to know ou whom he relies for support in his
determined policy."

BRUSSELS, Aran 9.

The Independanee Beige of to-day elfin= that the
Duke of Coburg has communicated directly to the
King of Prussia letters of a conciliatory character
which he had received from Count Mensdorff.
The same paper states positively that after a cor-
respondence between the Emperor of Russia and
the King of Prussia the former sovereign sent Gen.
Richter to Vienna to call upon Austria to disarm.
Austria, it is said, will probably make her disar-
mament conditional upon Prussia's also disarming,
It is believed that the intervention of Russia,
though it may not lead to any settlement of the
difficulty, will nevertheless prevent for some time
any further complication.

Sarah Ana Burt, a good lookin3 girl, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel,
ke., the property of her father, James Burt, an engine
driver, living at No. 6, George-street, Grosvenor-square.
The prosecutor, a respectable looking man., said that on
Tuesday last the prisoner, who was his daughter, ab-
sconded from his house, 6, George-street, Grosvenor-square,
taking with her his watch, and a quantity of wearing ap-
pareL On Saturday night she came to the house, ad-
mitting having taken the property away and pledged it,
and said she was willing to give herself up.
The prosecutor produced about a dozen duplicates which
the prisoner gave up.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said his
daughter had never robbed him before.

A constable proved taking the prisoner into custody and
seeing her give up the duplicate of her father's watch to
her father. She said she had taken the things and was
quite willing to go to the police station.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week stating
that the pawnbrokers would have to give the property up.

In. SOTRZIef AND THE SPIRITUALIST.

Robert Cooper surrendered to answer an indictment
charging him with having publiahed a false and defama-
tory libel concerning Mr. Sothern, the actor.
This ease arc*, as our readers will remember, out of the
same libel to which Mr. Coleman pleaded guilty last
mica. The defendant was proprietor of a weekly publi-
cation called the Spiritual Times, and the libel in question
was published in that journal.
The defendant plaided guilty.
Mr. F. H. Lewis Aged on his behalf that be was entirely
'parent of the publication of the libel until after it bad
appeared, and that he had expressed his deep regret at
having been the means of making such a statement public.
asrjeant Ballantine accepted the apology that hsd
been made on behalf of the defendant, and said that Mr.
&than was not actuated by any vindictive feeling, and
all he desired was to protect himself and his family from
the scandalous imputations that had been made upon
him.

The Deputy-Recorder said that Mr. Sothern had acted
Wit properly in the matter, and under all the circum-
stances he thought the justice of the case would be satis-
fied by the defendant entering into his own recognisance
in 50t. to keep the peace for 12 month,.

HER MAJPATY'S THEATRE.

• Both the great Italian theatres being now open,
"Loddon season" may be said to have fairly set in. The
rid house in the Haymarket opened on Saturday night.
The opera was the Trovatore, which bad been performed M
Clement-garden on the Thursday preceding. Though the
meet hackneyed opera of the day, it has not lout its fresh.
sou. Its tragic story continues to create interest, and its
'music is found by experience to be able to bear without
detriment the trying ordeal of incessant repetition in
every opera-house in Europe. Its performance on Satur
day was very good and completely sucomshd, but presented
scarcely any novelty.

anticipation of war, there is mane ground _
ing that Consols will not be permanently depressed.
The ewes whish have for some time depreciated
thie Roo, favourite security have been often pointed
out, but apply almost entirely to English proprie-
'taw: Tfie continually increasing cost of living
*mild, under any circumstances, have compelled
many small fundholders to realise their capital
little by little, from the impossibility of existing
on their incomes alone, even if the temptation
had not been offered of a hundred diflb-
rent modes of investment, promising double,
or more than double, the now inadequate return
of little over three per cent. But the same argu-
ment does not apply to the foreign investor. As a
rule the latter class are few, but have large indi-
vidual holdings ; the English proprietors are nu-
merous, but possessing small amounts. A foreigner
has not, therefore, the same inducements to sell,
or rather they do not operate in an equal degree as
with a native holder. In the former case perfect
security is the main object ; in the latter it is tem-
pered by the desire of receiving a fair return from
the invested capital. In the period before, and in-
deed for some time after, thegold diacoveriesand the
rapid increase of wealth, the possessors of small fixed
incomes suffered but little inconvenience, but cir-
cumstances are materially altered now. Hence for
a long time past sales of stock, moderate in indi-
vidual amount but large in the aggregate, have
constantly been pressed. On the other hand, pur-
chases have been comparatively scarce. Some years
ago it was an invariable rule that Consols never
fell below 90 without bringing in a multitude of
small buyers, who speedily carried the stock beyond
that price. The times are altered now, nor does
the old state of things appear likely for a long while
at least to return. It is not at all impossible, how-
ever, that foreign capitalists, tired of the constant
perturbations and uncertainty in continental poli-
tics, may experience a growing inclination to take
an investment which at least offers perfect security,
and this is precisely the feeling which the present
quarrel is likely to increase.
Although we have endeavoured to show that in
a commercial point of view the immediate interests
of England do not appear materially affected by the
heavy misfortune now hanging over Europe, yet it
would be impossible to ignore the fact theta war be-
tween Austria and Prussia, however it may end, must
inevitably cause deplorable results, checking the
progress of civilization in a degree which it is tili-
ng to think of.

MARK-UNL—{tE(lll DAY.)
There was only a limited (penalty of English wheat on
sale here today t but most of the simples came to hand in
fair average condition. For be* red and white qualities
the demand ruled steady, at prices about equal to Monday
last.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat. The tran-
sactions in all kinds were limited, nevertheless last
week's currency was supported.
The supply of English barley was trifling, of foreign to-
lerably good. Sales progressed slowly, on former terms.
Malt was in good supply and moderate request, at pre•
vious quotations.
The supply of oats was large, and the demand was very
inactive, on rather lower terms. American oats, in damp
condition, sold at 113 s. 9d. per quarter.
Beans, owing to the limited quantities on the nand.,
were firm in price. The inquiry for them, however, was
by no means active.
The few peas on offer were mostly disposed of at full
quotations.
Both English and foreign flour was a slow sale, but not
cheaper.

laden vessels off coast were numerous. Wheat com-
manded but little attention, and prices declined from

SALE OF THE MIDDLE-PARK YEARLINGS.

Forty-two yearlings bead at the above extensive esta-
blishment were sold on Saturday, for the enormous sum of
20,0764, or an average of 478 i. each. This is a conclusive
proof that, notwithstanding the " panic " in commercial
circles, the Turf is iu a flourishing condition. The youthful
Duke of Hamilton (who has bought all Mr. William Robin-
lion's horses) was the principal purchaser, and, as will be
seen by the report below, gave the unprecedented price
of 2,500 guineas for one yearling (a large sum of money to
bang on a flexor tendon). Mr. Chaplin, who bought the
highest priced yearling at this sale last year for 1,500
guineas, also bought one this year for 2,000 guineas ; and
Mr. Henry Hill (for the Marquis of Hastings) purchased
one for 900 guineas. The attendance was enormous, all
the turf notabilities being present, and some spirited bet-
ting took place on the youngsters that will be entered for
the Derby of 1868, Mr. 3. R. Morris being the principal
operator against the yearlings, while the takers were re-
presented by the Duke of Hamilton, Mr. Merry, ie., at

seems to be adi provocation provocation to .war. The con-
vocaticm of thode estates with the' declared object
of dissolving thadii.ties et-allsolasia which, accord-
ing to the treaty of Vienna, unite the Duchy of
Holstein to Prussia, is apparently a flagrant viola-
tion of the treaty of Vienna, and an attack upon
the sovereign rights of Prussia which she is bound
to resist. Nevertheless, Prussia will hope until the
last moment that Austria may yet see lit to desist
from carrying her declaration into effect." Herr
von Bodelachwingh, the Minister of Finance, is
about to relinquish his post in the ministry on
account of ill health.

menacing the southern parts of the empire, the laws
for the protection of personallibertyand inviolabilty
of domicile inVenctia, the Istrisui seaboard, Gorz and
Gradisca, Southern Tyrol, and Dalmatia. An order
has also been issued empowering the general com-
nianding the army of the north to suspend, in case
of necessity, the above laws in all fortified places
under his command, including their environs, and
also in some other districts. He is furthermore
empowered to establish military courts for the trial
of civilians for certain offences hitherto punishable
by the ordinary penal code, and in certain wain-

was ever undertaken by a ruler enjoying

so high a reputation for sagacity as Naro-
Lsow 111. But it would be easy to indulge
this feeling to the point of doing injustice to that
subtle intellect. If Lours NzroLsow formed a
false estimate of the problem which he undertook
to solve, it was less because his judgment was
at fault than because, in common with most
Europeans at that time, he was deceived by false
evidence. Four years ago it seemed as if nine per-
sons out of every ten were victims of a vast con-
spiracy to misinform and betray ,the mind of the
world with reference to the issues of the American
contests. Never before in the history of Europe
was brought into play so elaborate an organization
of misintelligence. The Emperor of the Fearrat
never concealed from France, or from his allies, or
from the Government of the United States, his
settled conviction that the Union was irreparably
broken up, and that the Slave States would achieve
their independence and establish their new
Confederation. In despatch after despatch, the
late Mr. DAYTON reported the expression of
the Emrznoa's conviction to Washington, and
it notoriously formed the basis of his calculations
regarding Mexico. The most noxious mis-
take made by the ENTEROR was that of giving to
the Mexican expedition a character of unnecessary
hostility to the United States, especially by the
publication of his letter to Marshal FOUNT. There
is reason to believe that the Laramie was quick
to perceive, and solicitous to repair, that error.
The expedition might have been regarded with
curiosity rather than with concern by the Ameri-
cans, if the EN:PEROa had not elaborately and
gratuitously explained that it was undertaken to
set bounds to the progress of Anglo-Saxon civilise.
tion ; and if his injudicious supporters in the press
had not given it the character of a defiance of the
Mormon doctrine. The language of the Zwrintoa's
Government for the last eighteen months has been
calculated to neutralize the effect of these ill.
judged declarations, and to reconcile the presence
of his client in Mexico with the self-regard at the
American people.
In making arrangements for the withdrawal of
the troops of France, it was obviously neeeseary to
subordinate all other considerations to those of the
political order. Alike by the friends and by the
enemies of the Austrian throne set up in Mexico the
immense debt which its occupant has contracted

NAVAL COURTIIARTIAL.—This morning a court-
martial assembled on board the Formidable, 84, Captain
J. Fulford, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir Chas. Talbot
K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, for the trial of
Mr. John Critchky, first-claw assistant engineer of and
belonging to the eumberland, 70, Captain Randolph, on
two chines :—First, of having, on or about the 28thliarch
last, been drunk in her Majesty's dockyard, Sheerness
and, second, with having, on or about the 29th March
been guilty of conduct unbecoming the character
of an officer in having falsely stated that he had not
been out of Sheerness Dockyard on the 28th March
until after six o'clock in the evening, whereas he came
into the said dockyard at or about 5 o'clock on the evening
of that day. Captain Fulford, of the Formidable, pre-
sided ; and Mr. Knight, of the firm of Resell, Knight, and
Arnold, Admiralty solicitors, Rochester, officiated as
Deputy Judge-Advocate, and conducted the prosecution.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to both charges, and threw
himself on the mercy of the court, at the same time
handing in a number of certificates of character. The
court sentenced him to be dismissed her Majesty's service,
but in consideration of his former good character recom-
mended him to the favourable consideration of the Lords
of the Admiralty.

kft:Debats period of nearly two years
w elapse before the evacuation of Mexico
will be definitive and complete is a "little
long." It observes,.that the arrangement an-
nounced in the Morsiteer does not imply any
"treaty" engagements, but merely a " decision"
of the Emperor Napoleon, which it is quite com-
petent to him to revoke at any time. No infor-
mation whatever is given as to the nature of the
new guarantees which are to be substituted for those
of the treaty of Miramar to secure the interest of
French holders of the bilexican securities. Until
the end of 1867, the Debuts says,. Francs will re-
main liable to be dragged into many possible com-
plications in Mexico, and a variety of events may
occur to make her change her present resolution.
While allowing due weight to this criticism, I do
not doubt that the Emperor really intends to quit
Mexico within the time mentioned. His projects
in Europe, and his desire to avoid a war with the
United States, alike indicate this step. Of course
Maximilian, however he may delude himself for a
time, will have to come home.
I have Ma a very warlike private letter from
Florence, dated April 3, which affirms that orders
are given to assemble an army of 60,000 men im-
mediately in the neighbourhood of Bologna, that
everybody believes in war with Austria, and
that a tax of 10 per oent. is about to be put upon
funded property. The warm imagination of
Italian correspondents renders, however, their state-
ments liable to much allowance for exaggeration.
I have reason to think that the new Papal loan
which the house of Laffitte has bid for ineffectually,
will be taken by MM. Blount.
The Emperor is going to review eight regiments
of cavalry and the artillery of the Imperial Gnat*
on the Longchamps Race-course to-morrow.
I believe that the quarrels among the proprietors
of La Prune which led to a report of the retire-
ment of M. Emile 011ivie; have been arranged for '
the moment in such a manner as to enable him igr
remain editor. It is unlikely, however, that he
will stay long. His talent does 'not lie in the di-
rection of journalism. Publishing his old speeches.
instead of leading articles won't do.
The Bourse was rather buoyant during part of
the day, but it closed heavily. Route rase 10e,
for cash and sc. for account, closing at 67fr. 76c.;
and 67fr. 60c. The Italian loan fell more than

THE REFORM DEBATES.

The Deli y News tells the Chancellor of the
Exchequer that by adjourning the reform debate over
two or three days, the spirit of rising members, not over.
eager perhaps at first, is still further cooled. His refusal
to give Sir F. Kelly another day than the one which he had
already obtained for his motion on the Malt Tax, involving
as it did a break in the continuity of the reform discussion,
was regarded by some as an indication that the Chancellor
of the Exchequer's heart was in his Budget rather than in
the Franchise BilL The sacrifice of last evening when Mr.
Sheridan, notwithstanding that on Monday he turned •
deaf ear to all entreaties, withdrew his fire insurance mo-
tion, must be due to very questionable parliamentary
management. The arguments which convinced Mr. Sheri-
dan on Tuesday, might, we presume, have been urged with
equal effect on Monday, to the saving of the time and
patience of the House of Commons and of the country, and
to the advantage, in some slight degree, of a measure the
chances of which are not improved by protracted talk and
needless adjournments of talk.
The Times gives one leader to the speech of Mr. Lowe
and another to that of Mr. Bright. Mr. Goschen's address
is described to be that of a man who, having been initiated
into a great mystery, is surprised and indignant that the
world refuses to share his illumination. He has been
