harder, Sardinia, and what is most hard of all,
Turkey- -each of the Allied Powers is re-
quired to bear the whole weight of the war in
money as well a in hard fighting, by debt as well
as by bloodshed—without apparently the smallest
notion being for au instant entertained as to
Russia yielding them even the shadow of a com-
pensation. Viewing the present disgraceful Peace
solely in its application to ourselves—here is Eng-
land at the close of the War with millions of
money rifled from her, with tens of thousands of
her bravest sons crumbling into dust hard by the
dreadful pest-houses of Scutari and the terrible
trenches before Sebastopol—with the grinding
income tax doubled—and food still in a great
measure at war prices--and Russia disbursing
not one single doit towards the liquidation of the
immense increase of debt resulting from her law-
less aggression upon the Sublime Porte, with a
view to the flagitious seisure of Constantinople !
.The knowledge of all which must console the
Czar ALEXANDER with the sense as of a really
lubstantial vengeance over his adversaries—as
:he recollection of .it cannot, by any possibility,
rail in the end to reflect at once disgrace and
infamy upon the British Government.

The position of the French wool markets at the St.
close of last week was generally quiet, partly oc- ze:
casioned by the number of manufacturers who had 25
proceeded to the wool sales in London. Sales Sstt:
were easily effected when the holders of stock 10
made a reasonable reduction on the high prices St•
which ruled at the commencement of the season. 50
In Champagne and Burgundy the best washed sy,
wool continuo to sell for 4 fr. 60 c. to 6 fr. per 10
kilogramme ; and at Paris Metis-Merinos are dull gt.
of sale at 2 fr. 20 c. to 2 fr. 60 c. per kilo. At lilt.
Chalons and Soissons, good qualities are in demand at.
at full prices. Bt.
The latest advices from New York state that the
St.
market for breadstuffs in that city was very active, i 2
the shipments of wheat in the last week to which
the accounts extend having amounted to L 500,000
bushels. Accounts from the agricultural districts S 3
represent the appearance of the 'growing crops as 20
very favourable. Money continued abundant, and
the Banks at the reduced quotations were transact- Sgtt
ing a large discount business. 20
The Joshua, which arrived yesterday from New 120
South Wales, brought 5,0001. in gold. Her ad-
vices were not so late as those previously received. 1C
The yearly meeting of the Commercial Bank of 25
London took place this day, when a report was 25
read, showing a net profit of 38,9751. 15s. 6d. for 41 Bt.
2i
the year ending 30th June last. A dividend was 10
declared for the year of 71. per cent., to which the St.
directors now added a bonus of 41. per cent., mak- 50*
ing 11 per cent. for the year. A balance of 1,1751.. 25
14s. 9d. remained to be carried to the reserve fund, "25
which, with the interest for the last year, amounted 50
to 70,8211. 6s. 3d. The balance-sheet exhibited a 20
total on both sides of the account of 1,944,9821.
13s. 9. The report was, after a few observations,
adopted unanimously.
The English Stock Market continues dull, but
the quotations rather tend upwards. Many of the
leading operators are absent from the City, and
the attendance at the Stock Exchange is limited.
Consols have been 95i 1 for money, and 952
for account. Scrip is at nominal quotations. The
New 3 per Cents. have been 96i I, and the Re-
duced 951 90. Bank Stock is 2171. Exchequer
Bills have been 20s. to 235. premium, and the
Bonds 100 a 1.
Foreign Securities are dull, but generally firmer,
Spanish 3 per Cents. have risen to 44k, the Now
Deferred to 24 to 241, and the Certificates to 61.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are heavy at 1041, and the 4
per Cents. at 1061. Venezuela Active brought
34, Russian 4 per Cents. 981, Grenada New Ac-
tive 71, and Buenos Ayres 851. Dutch are at
nominal quotations.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7/ ; Mexi-
can, 23 1; Peruvian, 81 3 ; ditto 3 per Cents, 57 9 ;

Spanish 3 per Cents., 44 5} ; ditto Deferred,
24k ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 6i 7.
Railway Shares have been without any general
movement of importance, and the dealings are still
on a small scale. Some of the heavy shares are
lower. Riga and Dunaburg shares have risen
10s., but the other Foreign lines are generally dull.
Canadian have been dealt in to a fair extent at
about previous prices. Ceylons are 11 pm., and
Bengal A pm. 20
Banking Shares are heavy. Union of Australia 1.00
have declined 21. to 31.

It is a long time, we take it, since anything so
good as the appearance of the PREMIER at Alder-
shot Review was witnessed. Let the reader ima-
gine the Noble Viscount gaily advancing on his
prancing charger at the head of his Parliamentary
" birds," carefully caged in appropriate vans.

stored jokes? Why, it must have tickled the
ribs of FALSTAFF, moved to the rarest envy that
mountain of wit, to have witnessed the manner
in which his aristocratic rival in the regions of
fun and selfishness managed to extract enjoyment
from the march of his humbler troop through
Coventry. True, the recruits of the Noble Vis-
count were not reduced to that deplorable state
of destitution arrived at by the fat knight's ;
considerably more than a shirt and two napkins
doing duty among them for regimental linen, and
little, if any, exception being takeable to their
personal appearance on the ground of want of
carnal solidity or due comprehensiveness of ves-
ture—the Parliamentary recruit being, as he
ought certainly to be, in good condition by the
end of the session, whatever he was at the begin-
ning, and having, as was fairly to be expected,
parted with all superfluous liking for self-denial.
But in that well-arrayed convoy—that lumber-
ing "Parliamentary train," so jealously guarded
by hussars—how many rags of independence and
self-respect were forthcoming ? Not many, we
should fancy, to judg/ by the gleeful care with
which the Noble Viscount paraded them for
observation, yet kept the wind from coming be-
tween them and his nobility. Beneath an exterior
levity his Premiership conceals a good deal of
ambition, and perhaps still more of patrician
pride. Depend upon it, his Lordship meant some-
thing when be planned the march of the Parlia-
mentary vans, and determined to head them on
horseback, instead of sharing the comforts or
vicissitudes incident to occupancy inside or out.
What could it have been? A thought flashes
across our minds. The noble septuagenarian,
inveterately funny that he is, must by this time
be on the verge of, if not entered, a second time
on the period of addiction to practical joking
common to vivacious and enterprising youth all
the world over.
His Lordship may be supposed—there is nothing
at all outrageous in the supposition—to have be-
come wearied of leading his abject followers in
private by the nose, and to have thought it
would be capital fun to let the public participate
in his former enjoyment of the spectacle. Pro-
bably enough the pride of the artist may have
had a little to do with his determination and in
showing how slavishly obedient he had made them,
he may have further contemplated a political de-
monstration, and a humorous bit of rivalry with
the General commanding at the review. None
of these things imperatively demanded personal
contact or association in public ; consequently, as
a thorough-paced aristocrat, who will use praise
and pay, but generally objects to associate in
public with a plebeian good•for-naught, his Lord-
ship saw no reason why he should prove an ex-
ception to the rule.
Trotting them out, however, would afford but
imperfect enjoyment unless accompanied by ap-
propriate description and comment. Whether
his Lordship had that pleasure and shared it with
others, or not, we will not undertake to say ; but
really, if he had, wo should have enjoyed it,
had we listened to him, amazingly. Nobody
could, nobody can tell better than the Noble Vis-
count, how sinners are made of Parliamentary
saints, and to what extent this or that political
virtue is or was proof against temptation. We
could have said as much at the commencement of
the session—it is not easy to say more at its con-
clusion, though all his Lordship's previous expe-
rience was a mere joke, we should fancy, to what
has been gathered in th© interval. Inveterate
joker, witty, heartless, reckless good fellow—tell
us in your own good time the story of the session
whose moral you so whimsically portrayed in
your me .rch to Aldershot—and if you cannot
spare us, from blushes, be merciful at least to our
ribs. Tell us what jokes you cut on the subject,
both before and after you set out ; and don't fail
to ranee !abet. what the Members said, and how
they 100 led (knowing what great culprits they
were) w b en the Vans came for them, accompanied,
for all ‘,rhe world—You malicious dog I—by a
troop of ausiars ! Didn't every man of them
believe, a:1)(i tremble in his shoes at the thought,
that he wen being, sent for his sins to the Tower ?
After all, it is too bad to tempt a poor plebeian,
and then him out and puke fun at him !
Too bad,i after
wheedling and ringing him, to lead
him forth by t. `lO nose, and brand him henceforth
for what you ha, fl helped so materially to make
him. But when: veils au aristocratic politician
