ENGLAND AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

In the opinion of the Standard, the incapacity of the
present Ministry to manage the foreign affairs of this
country has been signally demonstrated by the condi-
tion of isolation in which England now finds herself.
Threatened and insulted on all sides defied by
Russia, outraged by Prussia, bullied by America,
mocked at and set at naught even by the miserable king-
dom of Greece—there is not a single friend on whom we
can rely, or _ a single ally on whose good offices we
can pretend to reckon. This is the result of that famous
policy of isolation to which the Liberals have committed
us—the fruit of their favourite doctrine of non-interven-
tion, and the reward of our scruples and self-sacrifices .
It is difficult to understand what kind of Englishman he
is who affects to be satisfied with such a state of things.
Making, every allowance for the fervour of party
feeling, it is impossible to believe that the soundest
Liberal can feel in his heart the complacency which he
assumes in looking upon this part of Mr. Gladstone's
career. Liberal diplomacy has brought our foreign
relations into such confusion that only some very
bold step can extricate the country from war on
either flank. That step Mr. Gladstone is certainly not
inclined to take. He appears to have no other
interest just now in foreign affairs but to preserve
the Pope's dignity at Rome. sHe has allowed
the great Western alliance, which was so long the
guarantee of peace in Europe, to be demolished. He has
permitted the formation of what appears to be a league
of the Eastern Powers with America, the completion of
which would threaten England with a more formidable
danger than any which she has ever had to meet. To
counteract this with new alliances would appear to be
our first and obvious duty ; but there is no sign that
Mr. Gladstone comprehends the obligation, or that he ia
aware of the necessity of doing anything at all. Mean-
while in this most critical period of her life England's
warlike resources are still managed by a Cardwell, and
the great Liberal party looks on supinely, only breaking
the silence to mutter its dislike of " foreign affairs."

EMERSON ON ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the eminent author of
"Representative ilen," known among his country-,
men as the "Sage of Concord," delivered an
address before the New England Society on the
anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers.
Speaking of the immense extent of the American
territories, Mr. Emerson said the greatness
of their country expanded their views
of men and things. America is England seen
through a magnifying glass. There can be no famine
in a country reaching through so many degrees of
latitude. England, said the orator, has a great deal
of cheap wit at the expense of America. But was
it her real opinion that was read in the Times, Punch,
and other journals? He thought not. "I rather
choose to read British opinions in the immense emir
gration of English people to these shores, the immense
commerce that is carried on between London and New
York, the immense investment of British capital in
this country." The Americans, contemplating
their vast resources and their two oceans,
regarded with security not only the annexations of
English colonies, but those of England. hey could
read without pain all that was said to the advantage
of England and disadvantage of America, for were
not, they the heir? England had more writers, but they
read out of her books ; she had a better blowpipe,
but they had a continent full of coal ; she was
weighted by the remains of her six bonds of chartism,
America had granted them all. The interests and
sympathies of the nations were identical, and in all
foreign dangers which threatened England, America
would be sure to sympathise with her, and extend a
protection as noble to bestow as to receive.

THE SMALL Pox EPIDEMIC.

The fatality of smallpox is, we regret to say,
rapidly increasing in London and Liverpool. In
the latter town the mortality last week
was in excess of that in London by
twenty in every thousand persons. In the first
thirteen weeks of last year the number of fatal cases
registered in England was 99. In the next thirteen
weeks the deaths had risen to 118. In the thirteen

weeks of the summer quarter they rose to 157,
an 1 the last quarterly returns slimed the number of
deaths in the period Epecified to be no less than
584. Taking a weekly average, the Registrar-
General assures us that the present epidemic is much
more severe than those experienced in the years
1807, 1866, and 1863 respectively, when the disease
wi.s supposed to have been most fatal in this
country.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The official return of the foot and mouth disease
in Somerset spews that since the last quarter ses-
sions there have been 1,391 fresh outbreaks, making
the total number of animals affected 36,823. Cows
and pigs seem to be the greatest sufferers, but it
is satisfactory to learn that there has been a
considerable decrease in the total number of animals
affected, as in October there were 44,205, and the
decrease is, therefore, 7,382. The death rate is
about the same, and varies considerably
in different classes of animals. Seventy-four
cows died out of 21,274 diseased, but only one
ox out of 1501 oxen; 117 pigs died out of 3,458
attacked; while out of 2,495 sheep, not one fatal case
is reported. There has been among the latter
animals a great increase of sheep scab, 735 being
attacked by it this quarter against only nine of the
preceding quarter. Happily only one animal diel, so
the disease does not appear to be of a very severe
character.

of Lubec to those with respect to which Prussian vesssls
have already enjoyed the above concession.
As regards the privileges which have been granted to
Russian vessels arriving in Great Britain from Prussian
ports, the undersigned has to observe that those pri-
vileges apply only to vessels arriving from two or
three Prussian ports at the mouths of rivers which have
their sources in, and which flow through a great portion
of the Russian empire. The concession made to Russia
is therefore precisely similar in principle to that made to
Prussia as regards the ports between the mouths of the
Elbe and of the Meuse. The British Government was
able to make both of these concessions under the exist-
ing provisions of the British law; but the concession
now sought for by the Chevalier Bunsen, as regards the
ports of Riga and other Russian ports not situated at the
mouths of Prussian rivers, could not be granted by the
British Government without the sanction of a fresh Act
of Parliament; and although her Majesty's Government
would have no objection to introduce a Bill into Parlia-
ment for granting the privilege in question, and would
hope to be able to obtain the assent of Parliament thereto
if such a measure would be likely to promote a perma-
nent commercial arrangement with the Prussian Govern-
ment, yet her Majesty's Government would not like to
undertake to propose to the Legislature a law of this
kind for a merely temporary purpose.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 17.
Their Lordships were announced to assemble to-day
at one o'clock, for the purpose of advancing several
Bills a stage, but no business was proceeded with till
past three o'clock, owing to the absence of a Bishop, for
their Lordships could not proceed to business without
prayers being read by one Right Rev. Prelate.
During the interim Noble Lords hurried about in all
directions in the vain hope of finding the missing Pre-
late, the Bishop of St. Asaph, the youngest Bishop,
whilst messengers were dispatched for the Right Rev.
Prelates who reside but a short distance from the
Houses of Parliament—the Bishop of Worcester, in
the Cloisters, and the Bishop of London, but with no
better result.

A heavy debate raged within the walls of the House,
in which Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, Lord
Redesdale, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and the Earl
of Shaftesbury took part, as to what should be done.
It appeared that the House of Commons was waiting,
as they had completed their business, for the purpose of
receiving the Poor-law Amendment and other Bills,
and that the Commons had instructed Members to
bring up a number of Bills; in fact, the business of both
branches of the Legislature was at a standstill—the
one for two hours and the other for more than half an
hour.

At length the Bishop of Bath and Wells was found,
and the Right Rev. Prelate having read prayers, the
galleries were thrown open, and business commenced at
nearly a quarter after three; the Earl of SHAFTESBURY
acting both as Chancellor and as Chairman of Corn
mittees.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

WAKEFIELD.—Mr. Loch, eon of Mr. Loch, Member
for Kirkwall, and a young man of considerable talent, is
a candidate for Wakefield.

MIDDLESEX.—A large and influential portion of the
electors of Middlesex are taking steps to secure the
return of a second Liberal candidate. 6ir Edward Bux-
ton will, in all probability be the party returned, and
there is little doubt entertained of his success, if he
comes forward. Middlesex would then be represented
by two good men and true, in Lord Robert Grosvenor
and Sir Edward Buxton. .
