THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE NEW

GOVER.NMENT.

Amore the topics to which Mr. Manama's acces-
sion to the Premiership has given occasion, and on
which explanations may be looked for this even-
ing, one is conspicuous by its absence. The
foreign policy of the government is no longer a
theme of contention or alarm. The state of the
two continents which form the civilised world is cri-
tical. Internal questions of the deepest moment en-
gage the statesmen and rulers of France,of Prussia,
of Muni ia, of Russia, of Turkey ; and the external
reLations of these powers are uneasy. They
are all arming. Their deli:moire preparations aro
taking place on a scale which makes them offensive.
In the United States there is no longer re-
bellion of the South against the Federation, but
there is an internecine war between the Executive
and the Legislature, and a fend of races which it
may tax a higher statesmanship than the exigen-
cies of the situation have yet called forth to
reconcile and subdue. England has her troubles
and anxieties. She has her Ireland, her Abys-
ainian war, and her Alabama claims. The Fenian,
King l'iiromnix, and Mr. SIIWARD are all of them
ugly customers. But almost for the first'
time in modem history her difficulties are
exclusively her own ; has no partnership
in the etabarrassmenta of foreil,m nations. She
looks on with interest at their struggles, with dis-
tinctly marked sympathies, with generous hope,
but she has no partnership either of limited or of
unlimited liability in their concerns. A policy
of absolute sequestration from the affairs of
Europe, an iron ride of non-intervention,
is nut in harmony, either iilt the history or the
impulses of the British peoolt,. But the present
detachment (to use Father 'Si:a-males phrase) of
England from continental politics is fortunately
timed. The Parma M:NI,TV.It, will not be able to
follow the example of his most successful prede-
cessor, and to make foreign difficulties an excuse
for domestic inactivity. I!., will not be able to
plead our interests on the Danube or in the Medi-
terraiter.n as an excuse for ne•4lc.3iNg our interests
on the Shannon and roe Liffey, or to postpone
the reconcilement of Iratn,l to an alliance with
Franca or Austria. Zeal for the Catholics of
Poland cannot be made a pretext for neglectingthe
claims of the Catholics of Iv,: tail, nor the educa-
tion of our own poor is. forizotten in regard
for the fee-mini of Nai:!:.•Fi er the emahripmlls
of 1tr.,./61. If the condition o; Poland or Hanover
were made a British question, the state of Ireland
might be made a Euriipeau lovst ion. The present
attitude of England towards frreign nation is
singularly opportune, ns it eu dales the government
to approach home dittieulties mientbarrasaed by ex-
ternal dangers and ounpl'e itii.ns.

It would be uncandia avity that we owe this
state of things to the Iw:tactic° and sagacity of
Lord STANLEY. Thu e.e,!'actice which is felt
by men of all parties in the conduct of our
foreign relations venues in him. Its con-
tinuance depends largely uit Mr. DLSRAELeS
willingness to leave his colleague supreme in
his own department, and iu his declining to exer-
Mae that degree of authority which the PRIME
MINISTER claims above all in the deter-
mination of the exterwil policy of the country.
Mr. DISRAELI is a great in sezret di-
plomacy, in machinations anti counter-machi-
nations, in-intriguing and ,-!:-intrigning, and in
all the paraphernalia of lende politique.
He is essentially a .0 boner, and, like all
schemers, credulous. Ito has ideas about the
balance, which, if he La 1 th: opportunity of car-
rying them out, would le..ve kept the Bounaoss
at Naples, would have preserved his patrimony to
the Pore. would have post, et, l the reconciliation
of Hungary to Austria, wouhl have made England
the humble follower of Fra,.l,.e, and'earned for her
the lasting enmity of Prussia and Italy. Upon
the American question, Mr. Di+nar.ti exercised an
exceptional prudence. The taunts which once or
twice escaped even Lora r INLEV'M well guarded
reserve were never sanctioned or imitated by him.
But Mr. Difntastes present a dleagues abundantly
atoned for his almost I nuttte ret :cence. Lord CAIRNS,
Bir Joux PAKINUTON, and tit,: rest of them did as
much as men out of office can do to make England's
neutrality impossible in the American war, and
to render an amicable settlement of out-standing
differences, after the rest.T.A on of peace,as difficult
as the preservation of it had peen. Lord STANLEY'S
best qualities of statesmanii) have nut, perhaps,
their amplest field in the cohati A of foreign affairs.
But he gives England that sense of security
from external danger. ulthli is essential to
her approaching the to-itiideration of home
questions in a calm and so'ler temper. In being
a good Foreign he is practi-
cally a good Home l‘li-ist.r too. The beat
diplomatist is be of wb,,54.• di p!oulacy no one talks.
To keep out of difficulties :s a higher wisdom than
to surmount them. The ~'.:cLee which prevails as
to the external relations of 1-::,;land and the small
space 'which they occupy the public thought at
this time, is the best trio i!.. hich can be paid to
the Foreign Minister.

THE two volumes in which Miss MARY CAR-
rxxxiis records the remark:ill: incidents of her
" Six Months in India," leave a vivid
impression upon the mind of the de-
gradation of Hindoo and of the disastrous
effect that their cndi..ioa produces upon
Indian society. Enlightened Hindooe them-
selves are aware that tlleir race is be-
coming deteriorated he tiro customs which

of his household to see his child sacrificed to the
folly of witchcraft, and helplessly exclaims, " Some
" men may boast that they have moral opuses., I
" have not ; who can curb a woman 1" Miss
CARPENTER believes that much may be done
to assist the emancipation of the native women
by the introduction of female teachers from Eng-
land into the schools su2ported by natives, and
these can be supplied only by the establishment of
a female normal training school. The Government
of India has long adopted this course in finding
male teachers for boys' schools, and with great ane-
mia, but for the girl.' schools established by natives
in India, there are no female teachers at all.
The training of the latter can be effected only
by English women, and Miss CARPENTER is able to
state that many educated ladies here are anxious to
go and enter themselves as students in training
until they have obtained sufficient knowledge of
the vernacular to prepare natives as teachers;
but the countenance and support of the government
Are necessary, the more so if Mims CARPER-
REA'S plan be adopted, from the fact that
they would work independently of the missionaries.
The memorials which have been presented on
this subject to the Secretary of State for INDIA
by enlightened Hindoos receive from Miss Can-
even:es investigations fresh elucidation and sup-
port. Her volumes contain also a great many
suggestions of vital import to the well-being of the
Indian empire.

THE accounts of the Grand National Steeple-
chase yesterday read like pictures from some seat
of war, and the conflict for the stakes seems to
have been as exciting and nearly as hazardous as
that of a battle field. So widely spread, more-
over, is the interest felt in this event that the lan-
guage of the Grand Stand was polyglot—the
plains of Hungary, the steppes of Russia,
the banks of the Seine all having sent
contingents to witness the struggle and
victory of " The Lamb." Such names as " Count
" KAZOLYI " and " Mr. E. Bouitotrzr" stood
side by aide in the list of the owners of horses
running, with members of the English and
Scottish peerage of nearly every rank ; and no
clement of " scratching," of " dark horses," or I
of differently favoured " favourites " was want-
ing to complete the picture. Twenty-one
horses competed, over a course of four miles
and a quarter, for a prize of many hundreds of
guineas ; and early in the race Lord COVENTRY'S
Chimney Sweep, who was first favourite at
starting, broke his leg and was destroyed.
Another favourite, Fan, on refusing to jump, was
taken home ignominiously ; and her example was
followed, for similar reasons, by two other
animals of hes note. At one great fence a horse
of Lord STAMFORD'S "blundered and fell," threw
his rider, and henceforth galloped with the rest
out of an abstract love of sport, and without
thought of his owner's interests or his jockey's fate.
At a spot which apparently presented in close con-
tiguity if not conjunction " a canal aide," some
" bushed hurdles," and " a water jump," The
Lamb got to the front after having landed safely at
the head of five competitors. This good fortune
was not followed by the three luckless steeds who
came next, for The Nun fell on landing, knocking
down Wnain.as in the process ; while poor Kings-
wood fell on his head and turned a complete
somersault on the ground. Soon after this the
field began to thin, but four horses re-
maining in the front, and finally two gallant
animals, Lord Pouisres "The Lamb," and
Sir Osottua Womawszis " Pearl Diver " were
seen competing for the lead over the fence, and
the race was won by the former by two lengths.
We do not read of any serious accident to human
life or limb, but the whole record is ono of
peril to man as well as to beast. tintiophisti-
cated people may be excused for wondering
whether the riders of steeplechases realise
that they are about to risk their lives, and
whether the tremendous excitement of yesterday,
an excitement which drew visitors half over
Europe to participate in it, is related in any way
to that strange mysterious instinct which leads
men to delight in the cannon's roar, or which cried
of old, "the Christians to the lions."

has been naponelble had always bad a charade, ef their
own. The Reform Bill of Lord Derby'. tint government
and the India Bill of his sseeod, thigh fentodis and im-
practicable, were bold sad original 111411111071111. The manage-
ment of affairs and legislation last dation was not marked
by defeat of audacity. It is possible that by taking a de-
risive dude Mr. Diaraeli may break up his cabinet ; but
lin boldness is his only hope. The (loaded of the liberal
party and its leader men, of course, be shaped by that of
their opponents. To co-operate in just measures, should
they be proposed, and to resist Illusory schemes and half-
hearted compromises, should they be offered, are dear
duties. Aclear declaration of principles and of planed which
to gob the country,and with which to coins before thenew
House of Commons, is what the liberal party expects, and
has • right to expect, from its leader. To attempt more
than this would be premature, and would be playing into
the bands of the enemy.
Ireland, says the Times, is the immediate battle field.
Having to ascertain how far his supporters are pre-
pared to go in the great work of Irish reooll-
- Mr. Disraeli might well wish to ermine
himself to the lend question, which he Gadd meet
by a revival of Lord Mayo's bill, and leave the religious
difficulty to the stronger hands and more decided opinions
al the reformed parliament. Bat, if Mr. Disraeli hesi-
tates, the other side will make its bid, and has already
made it at regards the religions difficulty.
Aeeording to the Poet, Mr. Disraeli's friend' have been
urging on him the necessity of being exceedingly circum-
spect in the conummitatieas which he proposes to make
this afternoon. Indeed, if he speaks as they would prompt
him, he will say nothing that anybody cares to hear,
nothing that the country wants to know.
The Star assumes that there is pluck enough in the
liberal party to force the government to declare its inters-
floral on testing questions of policy. Of course, if the
opposition fall into political lethargy, and believe the
country can be saved and peace and round promoted by
permitting the new Premier to sit smiling on the Treasury
bench, he will succeed in keeping his party together until
some explosion takes place outside to waken up the liberals
from their dreams.

The Times asserts that the real cause of the impeach-
ment of Mr. Johnson is the determination of the republican
party to carry the next election, at any cost. The im-
peachment of the President in Heel( would injure them,
but if it could be pushed forward to the end by the pre-
sent Congress, or if Mr. Johnson were but suspended
and a Republican put in his stead for • seams, the
power of the presidential patronage would be thrown into
the hands of the party, and might secure a majority in the
College of Electors. The Times believes even now that
this scheme will presently be discovered to be • mistake.
The reaction it must produce will, in all probability, be so
great that the managers of the impeachment will suffer
the proceeding to abate for want of prosecution. For the
safety of the Union, the Times looks primarily to what
Mr. Disraeli calls the territorial democracy, which has,
on former occasions, rescued the nation from the profligacy
of parties.
The Dailg News remarks that in the attempt to remove
Mr. Stanton, and to pass over General Grant in defiance
of the Tenure of Ofiloe Aot, Mr. Johnson committed a mis-
demeanour under the act, and exp-sed himself to its
penalties. It was just the one thing needed for the legal
justification of a step which bad been morally justified long
ego. It gave his wary and skilful opponents exactly the
opportunity they needed. Hehad long deserved removal—
now he could belegally and constitutionally removed. Should
two-thirds of the Senate concur in • verdict of guilty,
no further punishment than suspension from office and
incapacitatiuu for it can be pronounced, and the ordinary
penalties for infraction of the law can only be inflicted
atter an ordinary trial and conviction before the court?.
But no such further trial will take place in
Mr. Johnson's case. His removal from oMee is all
that Congress needs ; and there is but little doubt that
the removal will be accomplished. The Daily News thinks
it unlikely that any large party in the country will rally
to Mr. Johnson's support, and the effect of his removal
on the south will probably be recognised at once as •
national benefit. Opposition to reconstruction will col-
lapse when it is no longer patronised at Washington.
The Telegraph says Mr. Johnson has committed no
crime, no offence, and is charged with none, " except the
political offence of disregarding • law which he does not
consider to be binding on him."

THE COUNTESS BEAUCHAMP'S PRESENT. —The
gift which is to be presented by the Worcester Guildhall
committee to the Countess Beauchamp on behalf of the
city and county is on view as the Royal PoreeLsin Works.
The present consists of • set of three vases the centre one
standing about 72 inches high, and the side ones about
18 inches high. The colour is " royal blue," for which
the Worcester Porcelain Company has always been very
celebrated, and it is similar in tone to what connotsseurs
call "Bleu de Rot" The form* are drawn on classic lines,
and are admirably salted to the decoration which is placed
upon them. This decoration is a speciality of Worcester
porcelain— being what is called Worcester enamel. It
consists of painting with an opaque white on the blue
ground, thus producing • very delicately toned picture in
a greyish white colour. The pictures are very appropriate
for a wedding present. The centre subject, beautifully
painted, is from Correggio's picture in the National
Gallery, " Mammy instructing Cupid." These of the
sides, equally as beautifully executed, being " Diana and
Cupid," sod " Venue and Cupid," from Raphael. The
decoration which form the framework of these pictures is
mosibeautiful,andisintheßapbseletiquestyle. Onthefeet,
neck, handles, and pedestals are introduced masks, heads,
and scrolls. The whole is in the style Of the Italian
renaissance. The dessert service presented by his lordehip's
tenantry will consist of • number of compotes.=
and centre dishes of new design. The plates are
with • gold ribbon painted with roses, naming through •
basket-pattern edge traced in gold. In the centre is a

THE EX-KING OF HANOVER.

According to the Scurelliste of Hamburg, there is
no foundation for the statement that the Emperor
of Austria has written a letter to the ex-King of
Hanover, which determined the latter to leave
Austria and come to England. The Austrian
government, it says, confined its action to remind-
ing Count Platen of the circumstances under which
the King and his little court asked for the hospita-
lity of Austria. The relations between the impe-
rial court and the family of the ex-King are not
changed in any respect. On last Friday they
were invited to the imperial chateau. The fact
that the ex-King has directed the funded property
he has in London to be sent to Vienna shows
that he has no intention of quitting the latter
place.

Prisoner—Did you ever hear that Sarah was talked to
about it by Mrs. Plow?
Witness—l do remember her being talked to once.
Mr. D. M. Cockcroft, surgeon, said he had made an
examination of the body of Jane Smith. lie found two
severe wounds on the right wrist, which almost severed
the hand from the arm. There were four severe cuts on
the bead ; one cheek was much burned by the dame of
powder, and there were two bullets in the brain. Death
must have been instantaneous.
Mr. George Stanatteld repeated the evidence he gave on
Tuesday night.
Police-constable Taylor, who searched the prisoner, said
he found in his pockets a powder flask, 2G pistol bullets,
and 30 percussion cap ; a small bottle which bad con-
tained brandy, and photographs of the mimes'. and
Sarah Bell. Tile witness charged him with the murder
of Jane Smith, and the prisoner replied, " Yes, I know
she is dead. I would have made a slaughter, but for the
servant girl upstairs, but I did not want to hurt the
ianooent." About fear o'clock on Tuesday morning the
prisoner said, "Do you know whether Mr. and Mrs. Plow
are dead? I hope they are not." Soon afterwards Le said
that when be was aiming at the deceased, in the dieing-
room, she said, "Please don't." lilt he said to her,
" Where is my Sarah ?" He added, " Then I shot Ler,
and the bullets cracked."
The prisoner was asked if he bad anything to say.
He replied, "If you want to know what was the cause of
tills grievance I will tell you."
The Coroner—You are at liberty to make any statement
you like ; you must exordia your own discretion.
Prisoner—Then I have nothing more to say.
The Jury found • verdict of wilful murder against the
prisoner, who did not seem at all moved when be heard it.
Whilst the jurors were signing the inquisition, he said
he wished to make • statement.
The Coroner repeated the caution ho bad previously
given, that anything the prisoner might say would be used
as evidence against him.
The prisoner then advanced to the table, and said— I
have only got a few words to say, for I think the worst has
come to the wont. Had Mr. Plow given me the privilege
I once asked of him, I should now have been • religious
and devout Christian. I should have been a teacher
inyooder school (indicating one which could be seen
from the window of the room), and a communieant
of the church, for I would have taken that holy
feast to make • mock of it ; and I should have been on
the way to Heaven, instead of deetruction. I hope Mr.
and Mrs. Plow will forgive me, and I hops God will.
The prisonersobbed during the latter part of his remarks,
but the traces of emotion soon passed away.
The Coroner formally committed him for trial at the
ensuing wins in this city; but he is retained in the lock-
up at Todmorden until the inquiry by the magistrates is
completed.
