THE NOISE IN EUROPE.

The news from Europe still rings with the " loud
alarums "of national defiance. " France will not bo
satisfied " unless Prussia does what it is very certain
that Prussia will not and cannot do ; and "if France
persists England will exhaust all means to prevent war."
So here are three of the great Powers already actively in
this difficulty, with several lesser ones shadowed forth as
possibilities of the entanglement. From. Spain comes a
bravado characteristic of the Government that has named
and thrown away every possible creature of which a
king could be made, but now fiercely insists it will have
the King that somebody says it shall not have. From
Denmark we hear a natural note of rejoicing
at the possibility that Prussia may get well
pounded. Austria observes a reticence that covers every-
thing but indifference to the dispute, and Italy, though
she gives no sign, is doubtless weighing whether her obli-
gations to France are not overbalanced already at Rome,
and also how she would like once more to see the Austrians
in Lombardy. No Power can be neutral in this war if
the war comes; and the map of Europe may be a startling
thing to see when the war is over. From the main
trouble Russia will keep her hands free. Why? So
that while they are all occupied she can slip down
and feel the sick man's pulse at Constantinople. With
Russia aside, then, Prussia has Austria on one hand,
France on the other, and a little hornet's nest
on the Danish frontier. Prussia, therefore, must meet
France on the Rhine with a divided attention, and Aus-.
tria can try the quarrel postponed from Sadowa with a
much better prospect, from the fact that France comes in
on her left. England clearly is with Prussia, since she so
loudly pronounces already against the course of France.
She will "exhaust all means to prevent war." One
means of preventing war is to array on one side so much
power that the contest is necessarily desperate on the
other side. She will, then, apparently do that. So the
disposition is, Prussia, England, Spain, Belgium, Hol-
-1 anl—perhaps Switzerland—against France, Austria and
Denmark, with Italy afraid to help Prussia for fear of
Austria, and afraid to help France for fear of a revolu-
tion and a popular rush for Rome. " Republican or, Cos-
sack in fifty years !" Has the time come ?—New York
Herald.

FROM THE WAIL MINISTRY OF Pnussm.----Trials
which have been made with Thorley's Food for Cattle, at the
request of the Royal Ministry of War, by different divisions of
troops, have terminated very favourably, confirming that the
same, as an addition to the ration of oats, that is to say, as a
means of keeping up the condition, is of very great assistance,
particularly for horses suffering from bad digestion, or such
as have gone back in reeding condition. Berlin•—War Ministry,
