NEWOATE AND LEADENHALL.

The supplies of meat, generally, are good. Pork moves
off freely, on rather higher terms ; otherwise, the trade is
heavy, at drooping currencies.

TILE UNDER-SE OIZETARY ON FOREIGN
AFFAIRS.

At the anniversary dinner of the North Wal-
sham Agrieultoi al Society on Wednesday, Lord
Suffield in the chair, Lord Wodehouse (Under-
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), Lieutenant_ Colonel Coke, M.P., and Mr. Howes, INI.P , were
present, and addressed the
company. In the. course
of his speech Lord Wodehouse sa id—MY h°il
friend (Mr. Howes) has touched upon subject
of the sub.ect. of foreign affairs, upon which I am more competent
perhaps to express an opinion, and upon which 1
will say a few words. My hon, friend says that he
trusts that her Majesty's Government keeps fully in
view the principle of non-intervention. Now, I
think 1 may say that that is the principle which has
been announced by her Majesty's Ministers from
the first, which has been steadily adhered to, and ,
which I am confident the people of this country
are desirous should be adhered to by the Govern.
ment. (Cheers.) No doubt we do not conceal—
we should be very much ashamed if we did conceal
—our sympathies for the people struggling for
liberty ; and if we did not express those sympathies
we should certainly not represent the unanimous
feelings of the people of this country. (Cheers.)
The Government, as the faithful exponent of the
people of this country, is bound to make the other
governments of Europe with which we are in com-
munication fully aware of what the opinions of the
people of this country are, and Ministers are also
bound to show that those opinions are shared
in a reasonable, fair, and temperate manner by
themselves ; at the same time, while we give
a full expression—and in public we have
given a full expression—to this sympathy, we
are determined although I have no right
to speak for the Government—not to drag this
country into any quarrel with which we have
no concern. There is one other point upon which
I ventured to express an opinion when I was not in
office—an opinion which I still hold, and upon which
I will say one word. I ventured some time since
to say in this room that I thought it was very desir-
able that we should be close friends with our power-
ful neighbours in France, but that it was not for the
interests of this country that there should be an ex-
clusive alliance with France. I have always thought
that the true policy of this country was not to have
such exclusive alliances, and I am confident that
such a policy when adopted by the Government has
been approved by the people. You may have an
alliance of an exclusive kind, such as we had with
the French Government and the French people for
a particular purpose—the Crimean war. That
was a perfectly intelligible alliance, and it was
natural that it should be exclusive ; but when the
war ended we returned to the old state of things.
We wish our relations to be as good as possible
with France, that in every matter in which we can
unite in common we should unite in common ; but
at the same time it is right that we should have
friendships and alliances with all the other nations
of Europe and the world. (Hear, hear.) lam not
one of those who feel great alarm at the present
situation of Europe. I think, looking at what is
past, and the great dangers through which we have
gone, that although we cannot venture to foretell
what may take place, we may have good hope that
peace and tranquillity may be maintained. I say
so because I think that the great governments of
Europe—and I hope I may also say her Majesty's
Government, speaking, of course, in no party sense
—have shown great prudence, and a great desire to
prevent the flames which are now raging in Italy
from extending to the rest of Europe. As long as
that prudence and discretion are shown by the
principal states of Europe there is good hope that
we may avoid a general conflagration. If such an
event—and I hope it may be far distant—should
arise, we have the great satisfaction of feeling that
a spirit has been evoked in this country which
enables us to look forward without dread to what-
ever may occur. lam confident that too much has
not been said upon the volunteer movement, although
the topic may seem to be used up. Nothing has
done more honour to England than that movement,
and nothing is more calculated to strengthen this
country in the eye of all the nations of the world,
because it has shown that the British people,
wrapped up as they are in peaceful and commercial
pursuits, will, if danger should arise, rally and
come forward in th defence of their country.
(Loud cheers.)

MI?. KNIGIITLEY, M.P., ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

At the recent meeting of the Northamptonshire Agricul-
tural Society,
Mr. KNIGHTLEY, M.P., remarked that several allusions
had been made to the volunteer movement. It must, how-
ever, be remembered that, although the present Govern-
ment had fostered as much as they possibly coun that gerat
national undertaking, it was to Lord Derby's Government
that the original organisation of that eorpo wa. duo.
) And although the present Government had com-
menced the fortifications of our dockyards, that movement
had received the most cordial and the warmest support
from every member 'DC the Conservative party. (Cheers.)
Ho believed in fact that every man who had the smallest
pretensions to be a statesman heartily concurred in that
movement with but two solitary exceptions, and they were
Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright. Those gentlemen of the
peace-at-any-price party had always alleged that it was a
waste of time and a useless expenditure of the public money
to fortify our dockyards and arm our population. They
said that although the Emperor of the French might go to
war for an idea, he had no idea of ever attacking England ;
that, thanks to that blessed commercial treaty, the French
might now sell their silks and wines to us, and buy our
coal and iron in return ; that not only were they the best
customers for our manufactured articles, but they looked
upon us as purveyors of a raw material which a bountiful
Nature had plentifully given us ; and they added, France
had everything to lose and nothing to gain by going to war
with England. But those gentlemen seemed to forget that
there were motive powers in the human mind at least as
strong as the powers for buying and selling. He (Mr.
Knightley) had been in France a good deal, and he thought,
as lago said, ho did not know that country's disposition
well, and ho firmly believed that successful invasion of
England was the object of the sleeping and waking dreams
of a considerable portion of the French nation. (Hear.) It
would be the most popular proposition that could possibly
be submitted to the French army, and no man in Europe
was more thoroughly convinced of the fact than was the
Emperor of the Erench himself. (Hear, hear.) In 1848, at
the most momentous period of his strangely eventful life,
at the time when he became a candidate for the presidency
of the French Republic, the Emperor Napoleon issued, as a
r sort of political manifesto, a revised and corrected edition
of his works, written chiefly while ho was an exile in this
country. In that edition of his works there was the fol-
lowing very extraordinary passage :—" Jo represent° do-
vant vous un principo tine cause uno defait. Le principo
c'est la Souverainte du peuple ; le cause cello de l'empire ;
la defaite, Waterloo. Le pincipe vouz l'avez reconnu ; la
cause vous l'avez servie ; la defaite vous voulez la venger."
(He Mr. Knightley) was no timid alarmist ; he did not say
that this menace would be carried out ; ho hoped and be-
lieved it would not be so. The Emperor of the French was
astute and cautions as he was unquestionably courageous.
He told the world two years ago he would give liberty to
Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic, but he stopped short on
the shores of the Mincio. And why ? Was not the cry of
anguish hard as loudly in Venice as in Lombardy? Why
did ho stay his hand and abandon that unfortunate
at
pro-
vince, but that he did not like the look of the cannonsth
were bristling on the heights of Vienna ? Why did
hesi-
tate at the invasion of that quadrilateral, supposed to ethetu.
pregnable ? If they feared God and kept their powder
dry,_en
they would fortify their arsenals and rn
walls, and, above all, arm and train their warlike
population.

DEATH OF MIL JOHN VINE HALL.—In our
obituary to-day is recorded the death of an old citizen of
Worcester, viz., Mr. John Vine Hall, author of the "Sin-
ner's Friend," formerly a bookseller and wine merchant of
this city, and afterwards proprietor of the Maidstone
Journal. Captain Vine Hall, his third son, is the present
commander of the Great Eastern steamship ; and another
son is the Rev. Newman Hall, of Westminster.— It orecs-
tershire Chronicle.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
Is about I per male die., and the short exchange on London
is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the
English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard
gold, it appears that gold is at about the same
price in Paris and London. By advises from the city of
Hamburg the price of gold is 424} por mark, and the short
exchange on London is 13.4 per £1 sterling. Standard gold
at the English Mint price is rather more than 3-10ths per
cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of. ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sigllit.
is about 109! per cent., which, when compared with the Mint
par between the two countries, shows that the exch.f.Lugf
is slightly in favour of England ; and, after Ino'lkitufesatilS
