The policy of France and' England is not one
of aggrandisement. But although they may not
seek personal profit, the exigencies of the hour
may compel interference—the neutral territories
may become the arenas in which the sanguinary
strife will be carried out. Each of the
belligerents will of course transfer the
conflict from their own dominions, and
that which the folly of its rulers has rendered
" neutral ground " will be the venue of the` most
deadly conflicts, which must render important
changes inevitable. We may reasonably hope
that the victory will not be on the side of despot-
ism, that there will be no " Holy Alliance" to
enslave free nations, but that, on the contrary, the
object of France, and England, and Sardinia will
be to promote the cause of liberty and civilisation,
and to bestow Constitutional Governments on
peoples who are now the serfs of despotism. The
vacillation of Prussia, the treachery of Austria,
the tyranny of Naples, may do more to advance
the sacred cause of freedom all over the globe
than the most energetic and patriotic efforts that
have ever been made by a high-minded and in-
dignant community.

About the last . charge that folly and malice
could bring against this journal would be that of
sycophancy to royalty and men in power, for it
is sufficiently well known that if the interests of
the country appeared to call for it, we would not
hesitate a moment to administer a firm, loyal,
and temperate rebuke to any offender, however
high his position. The cordiality, therefore, with
which we hail the return of her most gracious
Majesty the QUEEN and the Royal Family to our
shores will not be misunderstood, and the terms
in which we express our opinion of her demeanour
and bearing, in connection not only with this
visit, but also with the visit of the Emperor
NAPOLEON to this country, will be received as the
expression of our sincere opinion.
The granddaughter of GEORGE 111. has proved
herself an Englishwoman, having her country's
interest at heart, on many occasions,
but never more signally than in connec-
tion with the formation of the happy
alliance now existing between Fiance and Eng-
land, and especially during the interchange of
visits between herself and the chosen Ruler of
Franc.. The most inveterate grumbler cannot
take exception to her conduct throughout, and no
dutiful subject but must be deeply gratified by it.
It was an affair of no little moment the reception
tile' Emperor NAPOLEON might meet with at the
English Court. His sagacity and magnanimity,
and his knowledge of the real feeling of the people
,)f England would undoubtedly have counteracted,
io far as he was personally concerned, in a great
;neasure the hostile promptiugs of a cool recep-

AAII,

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1855,

One of the fables which first attracts the atten
' tion of the rising generation is that of " the Dog
in the Manger." . The vile conduct of the brute,
in refusing to permit any other animal to benefit
by the- stere of provender of which he himself
can make no use, has formed a theme for many
moralists and strongly excited the indignation of
juvenile ninds. The fact is now enacted on a
grand . scale. The Austrian dog—and a very
nasty hmind 'it is—not only refuses to perform
its awn engagements, or to furnish the aid it
solemnly and deliberately promised to supply, but
it strives to - prevent oure obtaining assistance
from other quarters. It is jealous of Sardinia for
doing that which it has not the courage to do itself,
and would strive so 'far as predicable to prevent 1
the formation of art Italian Legion.• Threats areful- I

delusion's Which so Tong existed, and which, despite
the warnings of ourselves and other journalists,
kept us two years " waiting for Austria" are com-
pletely dispelled. It is therefore time that ener-
getic measures should be- adopted towards that
treacherous and double-dealing Power, to show
that we will no longer be bamboozled or made the
laughing-stocks of Europe, lay even appearing to

Island QUEEN, the white cliffs of whose dominions
had far long centuries looked pale with distrust
or Watchfulness of France, and as the powerful
Ally, but as a beloved and honoured kinswoman,
holding those relations ; and the people, proud of
their chosen EMPERO,II, and of the tribute thus
paid to his sterling greatness, brought a gallantry
wrought up -to enthusiasm to demonstrate the

.
atistactlon with which
,they had looked forward

Iro her promised apfwarance among them—a satis-
faction that, on her arrival, grew more and more
intense as they witnessed the queenly grace and
:womanly good feeling with which she recognised
the chivalrous homage and cordial acclaim with
which she was everywhere greeted. All Paris,
we are gratified to learn, rang with her praises,
tricl admired the presence and promise of her
offspring. The street cries related to the early
ted late manifestations of the kindness of her
disposition, and many a little incident during her
visit gave proof of a tact, a cordiality, and a de-
licacy of foaling which none are readier to appre-
uiate; or more likely to remember, than the
Parisians. To visit the tomb of NAPO-

ground, but seeing her MAJESTY' beforis that

have proved themselves your worthy rivals. The
bridge of Traktir has been the theatre of an heroic
struggle which covers with glory the gallant men
who have sustained it. Soldiers, this battle, in
which the Russians lost upwards of 6,000 men,
several Generals, and left in our hands 2,200 wounded
and prisoners, and the materiel they had prepared
to effect the passage of the river, does the greatest
honour to Generr.l Herbillon, who commanded the line
of the Tchernaya, and to his division. The divi-
sions of Generals Camou and Fauoheux maintained,
their former reputation. The Generals of Brigade,
and in particular Generals de Failly, Cler, and Wimp-
fen, and Colonels Douay, Po'has, Dannar, and Castagny,
are entitled to the gratitude of the army. I cannot
here name all those who distinguished themselves
for their valour, but I feel bound specially to notice
the able direction imparted by Colonel Forgeot
to our energetic cannoniers, and the brilliant conduct of
the artillery of the Imperial Guard, and of the divisions.
An English battery, placed on a height commanding
Tchorgoun, powerfully assisted us in compelling the
enemy to retreat, before we could bring up our reserves.
The Turks, upon whom a false attack was made, sup-
ported us with six battalions and a battery of artil-
lery. The English cavalry was ready with the Sar-
dinian squadrons to second the brave African Chasseurs
of General Morris, if the pursuit of the enemy could
have been useful to success ; but I have not lost sight of
our grand enterprise, anti I desired to economise your
blood, after having obtained a result which once more
confirms our superiority over that boasted Russian in-
fantry—which is a presage of new victories, and which
increases our right to the gratitude of the country.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed steadily, and compared with Friday's rates
prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales were
estimated at 5,000 bales (500 of which were taken
for export, and 500 on speculation), comprising 250
Pernam and Maranham, at 6id. to 7d. ; 100 Egyp-
tian, at Sid. to std. ; and 1,200 Surat, at 4d. to
sid. per lb. In the Railway Share Market very
little business was done, and without alteration in
prices.

There is nothing of interest in the letters from
the Continent this morning.
The scrip of the new Turkish loan is expected to
be ready at the Bank of England next Monday.
There were full rates obtained yesterday after-
noon for bills upon the continent, Paris excepted,
as 90 days' paper was taken at 25 32i to 35. Ham-
burg was 13 7i to 8, Amsterdam 11 174 to 18,
Frankfort 1171 to 118, and Trieste 11 34 to 36.
Rather contrary to expectation the gold just
received from Australia and America has been
bought for the Continent, and probably in connec-
tion with the Turkish loan.

English Stocks are flat, and the business doing
still very limited. Consols have been quoted
91k to for transfer, but not higher than 91k to k
for account. The New Three per Cents. have
realised 924 to 4, and the Reduced 91i to 92k.
Exchequer Bills are 17s. premium, Bank Stock
far account is at 216. Exchequer Bonds are looi.
For Foreign Stocks the market is extremely
dull, and in several instances the quotations are
nominal. Turkish Bonds are 93i, which was yes-
trday's closing rate, and tho New Scrip is flat at
2 premium. Venezuela Bonds are 31, being
lower. Chilian 3 per Cents. are 68, and Brazilian
44 per per Cents. 94k.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 71;
Mexican, 21k to 211 ; Peruvian, 81 to 82 ;
ditto Three per Cents., 58 to 59 ; Portuguese
Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five
per Cents., 100 to 102 ; ditto Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 89 to 91 ; Spanish New Deferred,
18/ to 19 ; ditto Three per Cents., 37/ to 381
ditto Certificates, 4f to 44 ; ditto Passive, 4f to 44.
The company of the Western and North-Western
Railways of France inform the holders of shares of the
old companies, comprised in the fusion of the railways
of Normandy and Brittany, namely, the companies
hitherto known as the St. Germains, the Paris and
Rouen, the Rouen and Havre, the Western of France,
and the Paris, Caen, and Cherbourg Railway Companies
—that the old shares of the said companies may now be
exchanged for shares in the amalgamated company of
the Western and North-Western Railways of France,
in the proportions regulated by the fusion treaty, viz.
For twelve Paris and Rouen shares will be given
nineteen amalgamated, or new shares.

"For seven Rouen and Havre shares will be given
six amalgamated, or new shares.

" For seven Paris Caen, and Cherbourg shares
will be given six amalgamated, or new shares.
" For two St. Germain shares will be given one
amalgamated, or new share."

The St. Germain shares being each entitled to half
a new share and half a I,ooof. obligation, bearing 50f.
interest per annum, and re-imbursable at 1,250 f., there
will be delivered, as stated above, a new share for two
St. Germain shares, and these shares stamped will be
returned to the proprietors, to be hereafter exchanged
for the obligations to which they are entitled.

In consequence of the delays necessary for stamp-
ing and signing the new shares, the certificates of shares
in the Old Western of France Railway Company, which
represent an equal number of new shares, will not be
exchanged until the Ist of October next. Up to that
period the o"„d Western of France shares, fully paid up,
will be for all purposes of negotiation assimilated with
he new shares.

The exchange of shares is made at the offices of the
company of the Western and North-Western Railways
of France, 124, Rue St. Lazare, Paris (the old office of
administration of the St. Germain Railway), and at
London, at Mr. S. W. Morgan's, agent of the company,
38, Throgmorton-street, to whom application may be
made for sale or purchase of fractional parts of shares.
Tn railway shares there is but little variation,
and although some of them rule flat others show
a tendency towards improvement. Great Western
have advanced per cent., and North-Eastern and
York are at fuller rates. Antwerp and Rotterdam
are a shade lower, but the foreign generally are
the same as before. Canadian are steady.
The mines, banks, and miscellaneous undertak-
ings call for no special remark, being firm.
