THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY FvENIFfI, OCTOBER 20, 185 -

It is one of the heavy penalties we pay for the which diplomatic appointments are made to our
folly of requiring foreign alliances for the mem- consular and diplomatic offices. Our diplomacy
bors of our Royal Family, and if we perversely has been the scoff of continental statesmen from
the first BONArARTE downward:;, that from its very
stupidity and inferiority we have lost the most
important results of our power, of our victories,
when we got them, and of our vast expenditure.
Why, for example, when we had got possession
of Egypt, and had Alexandria and the route to
India secure, we gave it up and left the highway
of our commerce, and the commerce of Europe,
and the means of the civilisation of the East to the
accidents and caprices of mere barbarian authority,
they can never understand ; nor are we about
to attempt any answer. We admit—and it is
part of the great case for Administrative Reform,
quietly gaining upon the public mind—that our
former wars have left us with a double burthen of
debt, and not half the advantages due to such
success as we obtained. England wants no sinister
advantages even in commerce, as she showed when
she gave to all nations, to the United States and
to others who have shown no disposition to do
the like, an equal participation iu the commerce
which was opened by her arms, and at her ex-
pense, in China. It is her grievance, and it is
really a grievance in which other nations may
well sympathise, that her diplomacy has had, and
for aught that now appears, has not now any
arriere pease, as to the means of insuring that
advance of civilisation which is due to such large
abstractions of the means of improvement at home,
which are made for the sake of this War. Sup-
pose, as we must do, that we succeed against
Russia ? What then ? What are our authorities
prepared to require for the improvement of the
condition of the people of the East ? The past
justifies the belief that diplomacy has no specific
measures prepared to insure that the barbarian
and wretched occupants of the fairest portions of
the world, the ruined seats of the first civilisa-
tion, shall be left in a better condition than is
Greece itself, after all our expenditure of blood
and money and sympathy. Let the public indeed
ook to this betimes, and ask for satisfactory

act on the delusion we must be contented to
abide the consequences !
But it is not with the Court of St. James's only
that King LEOPOLD is intriguing. The visit of
the Duke DR BRABANT, with his Austrian Arch-

duchess, to our august Ally, bears a very I
significant aspect at the present moment. It
follows rapidly on that of the heir presumptive
of the Prussian Throne to Balmoral, which, com-
ing so rapidly after the capture of Sebastopol,
excited the strong disgust and indignation of the
nation. Well may the English people exclaim—
" Save us from our (pretended) friends 1"
We. can confide in the valour of our soldiers,
and, despite the malevolent and calumnious libels
that have been industriously circulated, on the
skill and efficiency of our generals. But we must
exercise the utmost vigilance against the uncon-
stitutional influences that may be, and we fear
have already, been brought to bear on our Go-
vernment.

The British People must look to this through
their chosen representatives. They have
learned, from bitter experience, that Prussia can-
not be trusted. While pretending neutrality
s'lo has rendered far more efficient aid to Russia
than if leer troops were arrayed under the same
standard in open and undisguised hostility to our
f )rces. Through her intervention the Russian
commerce has been carried on with but little in-
terruption or embarrassment ; and the sinews
and even munitions of War have been furnished
to our adversary. And at the very time
when this despicable conduct has rendered
the Court, not the people—for we shall always
distinguish between the pro-Muscovite faction
and the honest aspirations of a high-minded
nation—peculiarly contemptible, we have the
Royal " CLlcQuor" babbling anent his warlike
predilections, and his "infinite regret" that he
has not been called, as his departed father was,
to be the leader of his army in War. Many may
have thought that the great poet of human na-
ture had drawn an exaggerated picture of ancient
Pim'. swallowing his leek, and gt the same time
indulging in grandiloquent terms respecting the

Nor is Austria, in any degree, in a better posi-
tion. To contemptible meanness she has added
duplicity and insincerity, and an infamous breach
of her solemn undertakings. She, too, strives to
gave the twin despotism—and when Russia is
driven to extremities, when the stringent penalty
of her transgressions is about to be exacted, seeks
to avert the well-merited punishment, and to
asserts the course of retributive justice. Had she
acted in an honourable and straightforward man-
ner, on the first invasion of tho Principalities,
the War would have been altogether averted.
, Had she faithfully observed the terms
of the Treaty of the 2d of December it would long
since have been brought to a conclusion. Under
the peculiar circumstances of the cases it is more
than ridiculous to attempt any further interposi-
tion, directly or directly, through her diplomatists,
,r, still worse, through connexions of the Royal
Family.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF SIR WM,
MOLFSWORTH, BART, M.P.

We regret to hoar of the sudden and alarming
illness of Sir William Molesworth, the Secretary
of State for the Colonies. The right hon. baronet
had been ailing for some little time, but it was
only a week ago that the state of his health began
to occasion any anxiety.

Dr. Ferguson, Dr. Elliotson, and Mr. H. C.
Johnson, have been in constant attendance upon
him in Eaton-place, but we are very sorry to be
informed that their report is such as to give cause
for the gravest apprehensions. His arduous
duties at the Colonial-office, and the anxiety of his
mind during the momentous period of his official
life, have, it is feared, principally contributed to
impair the health of this distinguished statesman.

The discount houses have given notice that they hive
advanced their rate of allowance for money at call to 5
p(r cent., dating from yesterday. Their previous rate
was 4i per cent.
The demand for money yesterday was moderate, both
at the Bank of England and out of doors, but the rates
charged by the discount houses are scarcely in any case
more than a fraction below those of the Bank.
A.dvices from Amsterdam mentinn that the Bank of
Roland have resolved to decline selling silver, which, at
a fixed price, has heretofore been their custom. This
will be an additional obstacle to the transmission of fur-
ther amounts to India and China.
UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.—We understand that the
senate has received a communication from Sir G. Grey,
intimatinfg that in the opinion of the Government the
senate ought to concede the points upon which they have
so lone r'N-liSed the graduates, and that body ought now
to he drnitted into the university, with the privileges of
c mvocation and the right to nominate members of the
senate.

But worst and most contemptible of all is our
faithful friend and relation, King LEOPOLD ! He
who owes his throne, his position, and his in-
fluence to England, to be intriguing against her !
—intriguing to make her sacrifice the advantages
she has acquired by the valour of her troops, and
the enormous pecuniary sacrifices which she has
freelylencountered. He should receive a !sig-
nificant hint, such as can only be given by the
Parliament, that such conduct will not be tolerated,
tnd that should he persevere in the course on
which he has entered, he must submit to the ir.-
evitable consequences. It is not when Sebastopol is
in our hands, and when Kinburn has capitulated,
And the road to OczAkoff, to Kher: •n, and to
Nicolaieff has been opened, that such proceedings
can be sanctioned.
Under such circumstances we see with deep
regret the protracted prorogation to the 11th day
)f December. We do not distrust Lord PAL-
SIERSTON, but seeing the back stairs and sinister
influences against which be has to contend, we
iesire to strengthen his hands by the moral sup-
port which he will readily receive from the Re-
presenbatives of the people, the legitimate expo-
!lents of the popular wishes.

railway was to be opened from Callian to Wassind on
the Ist of this month. Wcssind, by railway, is fifty
miles from Bombay, and is conveniently situated within
a few yards of the Thull Ghat road, near to Shapoor.
In comparison with the old route via Bhewndy, the
Thull Ghat traffic, if forwarded by railway from Was.
Sind, will arrive five days earlier in the fine weather,
and ten or twelve days earlier in the rains. Tile cost
by railway will be the same as if the goods were sent
by the old route.

It is so frequently repeated by the Legitimist
party in France, and by writers, and in society
on the Continent, that England has the greatest
c tuse for rejoicing at the defeat of the Russians,
inasmuch as we have the greatest interest in the
contest, on account of our Indian possessions, that
the statement may, unless it be repeatedly contra-
dicted, obtain currency as a generally admitted
truth.

Now it should be made known that the best
military authorities in England and India were
agreed, that if Russia were to have India as a gift
on condition that she should send thither an army
fully equipped and sufficiently strong to hold that
continent when it got there, the odds were greatly
against her being able to do so. She might dis-
turb our relations with Persia, and give us trouble
on our borders—she has done as much as she
could there already without military force—and
with her strongest military force, and with
all her barbarian alliances, she was never
seriously feared or thought of. It should be
known that, by all sound Indian statesmen, the
Afghan war has ever been viewed as a culpable
blunder and a groat disaster. It is pointed at as
a case where the avowed responsible Minister, Sir
JOHN Cam aOIIIIOIISI3, ought to have been im-
peached ; and, in the recent discussions on Ad-
misistrative Reform that very case has been
adduced as showing the necessity for measures
for making the responsibility of the holders of
high offices a truth. Foreign politicians may,
however, be assured that, in the welcome given
to tke National Guards of Paris, when they
visited London five years ago—the first
friendly step,
