tightening, and au advance cf discount equal to 1

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, M.P., A.T.
MANCHESTER.

The varitnis speeches from Lord Palmerston ill
reply to addresses presented to him, and in dis-
charge of the duty which he had so kindly under-
taken on behalf of the Mechanics' Institution, will
be perused with great curiosity and attention. 117.,_5
hope to reier to them hereafter in connection With
their bearing on the subject of public education, t°,
his Lordship's warm interest in which we must fee'
ourselves principally indebted for the gratification
of the present visit. The remarks of a more poll-
teal character which fell from Lord Palmerston at
the Town-hall scarcely require any comment. They
were all that a Minister could be expected to sal
under the circumstances, and that is very little.
The noble lord fully appreciates the high character
of the community with which he now makes 1315
first acquaintance, and the value of the supperl
which a statesman receives from its confidence an u,
approbation. It is out of the range of possibility tho
there should be much novelty in the terms in whleb
heassigns the motives and principleswhich have geld'
ed hispast career, and we decline the task of extract;
ing any prevision of coming events from his guarded
allusions to the. future. He speaks of the pealr'
it will be observed, simply as depende:et fom lts
duration on the fidelity with which Russia may
adhere to her engagements under the treaty
turn of phrase and thought which certainly is not
confident, but which we hesitate, until we 3r°
quite obliged, to interpret as desponding. In cony
ing spontaneously among us Lord Palmerston 130
manifested a laudable and gratifying desire to In,
,
crease his acquaintance with one great division °fthe social forces which he is called upon to har-
monise in the estimation of our fellow-citizens I°r
0
having done so ; and we especially rejoice that tnti
unmistakeable expression of public feeling wille
burst forth at every allusion to the war, must have
shown the Premier, as he stood in our Town:llslg's
that this community is slower than none lu
sense of what is due to the national honour, or
,„ „.
its appreciation of public servants who have "ro
held the name and interests of England when °, to or
than ordinary courage and energy were needed
sustain them.—Manchester Guardian,.

ENGLAND, AUSTRIA, AND TUBX

The Ministerial Oesterreichischc, Correspondi
published at Vienna, says :—" It is now time thee
we should make good the contradiction villi°ll,),"nt
gave to the assertion of the French papers,
the Porte had protested against the longer gala,
the Imperial Rayal Austrian forces in the 1)311.,,,
bian Principalities. A Paris journal recentlY •
plied to our contradiction in the following words
If the step taken by the:Porte was not a foroti/d
protest it was a very clearly expressed wish. -'ll3,
having said thus much, we maintain the perfii
correctness of our news.' If the Paris papers lain
make a further concession, and correctly exP,.
how the wish was expressed by the Porte, thelinj
and not till then—will they stand on a good tig
matter-of-fact foundation. If the Paris jourillr.
had said, that, as the period for fulfilling the e°o
ditions (all the conditions) of the treaty of Pe'io
approached, the Porte had expressed a wish
come to au understanding (rich verstandigen) tclite
Austria and England about the presence of the
Austrian troops in the Principalities, and of aid
English fleet in the Black Sea, we certainly
net have been able to contradict their assertion•
re
is now our agreeable duty to add to what has befdoer-
been said on the subject, that the wished•for•nd
standing between the Sublime Porte, Austria'-
England is progressing most favourably.
