Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion, or statement,
last night, on Foreign Affairs, left matters just
as they were. His lordship entered into a general
argument as to the affairs of unhappy Italy, and
criticised the relations between the various ele-
ments of which that divided country is composed.
Indeed, he expressed an opinion that Italy would
never be settled while the POPE exercised any
temporal power in that forlorn Peninsula. It was
the compound character in which His Holiness •
had acted that kept Italy in hot water for cen-
turies back. And now, to put the Cap of eternal
Slavery on the Italians, the two Emperors pro-
posed, or rather had decided that the POPE
1
should be the honorary President of the several
Italian Republics, or Dukedoms, or by whatever'
other title they delight in. This is making con-
fusion worse confounded with a vengeance, but
to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S credit be it said, that
he disavowed any accordance with such an
anomalous settlement, or pretended settlement of
such heterogeneous compounds. No, all that his
lordship argued for was, that the House of Commons
would not by any expression of opinion tie up
the hands of the Government in their present
dilemma, but leave them unfettered in the exercise
of their discretion. Lord PALMERSTON argued in
the same vein. as did also the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, who laboured hard, but, we think, un-
successfully, in his endeavours to whitewash Lord
PALMERSTON from certain sins of omission, and
others of commission, during his tenure of the
Foreign-office in the memorable struggle of 1848
for European independence. From the whole tenor
of.the debate it is quite clear that Ministers intend to '
join the Congress or Conference, and that they do
not like to be trammelled in their movements by
any prospective decision on the part of the House
of Commons. Indeed, this was quite evident from
their desire to put off Lord ELCHO'S motion on that
very difficult question.

For our own part, we think that Ministers feel
themselves to be in a very awkward fix. We be-
lieve they would do right if they could, but they
are so hampered by Courtly necessities here, and
Imperial predilections elsewhere, that they can
hardly see their way. Indeed they have admitted
as much, for they begged for time and free agency,
in order to see " how the wind blew"—that they
had not made up their minds as to the future, for
the simple reason that they could not see into the
dark hereafter of the fate of Italy.

The sudden peace of Villafranca seemed only to
make matters worse than they were, for one
party, wishing to have all the honour, acted
for himself alone, ignoring the right of his ally
as if he had " no brother near the throne," while
his Imperial antagonist jumped at every unlocked-
for concession, in the very light of a pure Godsend,
as enabling him to do without the aid of his " neu-
tral" friends, who were only endeavouring to en-
cumber kim with their help. Hence the suddenness
with which the peace of Villafranca was cooked up
—to make things pleasant for the time being, and
to let the future take of itself.

And our Ministers now find themselves in the
mazes of doubt, with as many horns in their
dilemma as there are Members in their bewildered
Cabinet ? We heartily wish them well out of it :
but when ?---Aye ! there's the rub. Italy may
prove a restless annuity for them, for there's no
daylight to dawn upon their councils for years to
come, as Lord JOIIN RUSSELL confessed last
evening.

It seems now to be admitted that the other sudden
announcement of the Emperor NAPOLEON was only
a clap-trap to beguile the hearers of
Lord JOHN
itussELL's statement on Foreign Affairs. And so
it seems to have answered its imperial Purpose. But
the wiseacres on the Bourse, or our Stock Ex-
change were not to be caught with chaff this time.
''hey were misled before, and now they would hesi-
tate even in believing the truth from such a
qvarter. " There is no sincerity in it," was
the general feeling, and hence the mistake !
Jugglers, be they Indian or Imperial, are sure to
find t heir level when their dupes are made wide-
avvak4 to the fallacies attempted to be imposed on
them as they have been inflicted before. So, the
clap-1 trap of reducing the army and navy of France
has iuh .sed its purpose. No. Let France reduce
or t ingenent as she pleases, England will not
abal ;e one shilling of her expenses or slacken a
my ,ucle of her energy in being all prepared
fo r whcr,tever may come—be it from any or from all

quarters—for we have no friends but our right
arm to trust to, and in that and the blessing of
Providence we will put our faith, taking all due
care to keep our powder dry.

We scarcely have in our recollection anything
more discreditable than the tone in which the
member for Lambeth, yesterday, alluded to that
great man, the Rajah of Sarawak, when question-
ing the advisability of a paltry vote in Committee
of Supply, a wretched little rubbishing driblet of
£4,209 to defray the expenses of Labuan—upon
whichpossession, recollect, Sir JAS. BROOKE himself
has out of his own private purse expended at the
very least some £30,000 sterling! Yet yesterday
afternoon, Mr. W. WILLIAMS, the high-souled
member for Lambeth—skinner of flints and parer
of cheeses to a certain school of our political Eco-
nomists—had the extreme impertinence to de-
nounce this trumpery vote as (in Mr. WILLIAMS'S
elegant phraseology) " little better than a job pen-
sion to a person named BROOKE (!) who had
founded Labuan for his own benefit (!!) and had
afterwards palmed it off on the British Govern-
ment (!!!)" Language like this, under ordinary
circumstances, might reasonably be passed alto-
gether sub silentio as really and truly beneath
contempt. But remembering that Sir JAMES
BROOKE, by reason of the absolute and entire dedica-
tion to this very project of Labuan of the whole of
his private fortune, of the best years of his honour-
able and memorable life, of his daring, of his genius,
of his large ambition, and of his many noble aspira-
tions—is at this moment all but a ruined man, is
but just now beginning slowly to recover from a
serious and painful illness, brought on, it is not
for an instant to be doubted, by excessive anxiety
of mind, and by the physical wear and tear caused
by his prolonged and reiterated vicissitudes ! Re-
membering all these indisputable facts, we say,
the language employed yesterday by the member
for Lambeth in reference to the Rajah of SARA-
WAK was no less than simply in one word
disgraceful.

No wonder the right hon. gentleman, the
late Home Secretary, Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT,
at once rose to express his conviction that the
hon. member who had thus spoken so intem-
perately would upon reflection be sorry for having
referred to a man like Sir JAMES BROOKE, in
terms of such unjustifiable disparagement. No
wonder Mr. ESTCOURT, though personally, as
we are ourselves, a total stranger to the Rajah
of Sarawak, protested strongly in the British
House of Commons against his name being
there mentioned in words so strangely disrespectful.
No wonder the hon. gentleman the member for
Pontefract should find himself impelled (in oppo-
sition to those disrespectful remarks uttered by
Mr. W. WILLIAMS), to pronounce a glowing pane-
gyric upon Sir JAMES BROOKE, placing him, while
doing so, in the same category with Sir WALTER
RALEIGH and other distinguished adventurers! It
was simply of a piece with the whole of this singu-
lar proceeding on the part of the hon. member for
Lambeth that at the close of the discussion which he
found, probably much to his surprize, he had thus
provoked in committee, he coolly " disclaimed any
intention of speaking of Sir JAMES BROOKE in any
way disrespectfully." His language of course was only
to be understood in a sense strictly and exclusively
Pickwickian !

The vote equally as a matter of course was
in the end agreed to—that munificent and mag-
nificent vote of .£4,209 ! During the discus-
sion, however, a hope was incidentally expressed
by the noble lord the member for King's Lynn, to
1 the effect that the colony of Labuan might even-

tually be dispensed with by the Government. Very
earnestly, and not by any means for the first time
—for we have written upon this matter for a long
while past consistently and persistently very
earnestly would we here at once express a hope of a
diametrically opposite kind. The abandonment of
Labuan, particularly now when new and
most auspicious relations have been esta-
blished between this country and the vast Chinese
empire, between England and the great insular
empire of Japan, between England and her own
superb empire of Hindostan, but yesterday, as it
were, brought directly under the dominion of the
SOVEREIGN—the abandonment of Labuan by the
Imperial Government at such an epoch in the de-
velopment of our commercial intercourse with the
Asiatic continent and the Eastern Archipelago
would, in truth, we are firmly persuaded, be, in
TALLEYRAND'S phrase, " worse than a crime—a mis-
take." It would be a crime perpetrated, in the treat-
ment of Sir JAMES BROOKE by his ungrateful country.
It would be a mistake in regard to the real interests
of that country itself. Precisely this very standing-
ground upon the north east coast of Borneo is what
the Government of England ought most to deside-
rate as the Archimedian you sto for our commerce
in the eastern seas. Labuan is precisely the very
spot for a grand coaling depot in that quarter of
the globe. There is coal actually there. Yet
with everything to tempt us to the acquisition—
gratitude, honour, interest—there is a grievous
risk that Labuan may, out of the most mistaken
motives of the most paltry economy, be allowed to
slip from our grasp by the apathy, or the timidity,
or the carelessness of the Imperial Government.
0 that the Rajah of SARAWAK had but been a
Whig ! 0 that Sir JAMES BROOKE had but owned
as his patronymic the name of GREY, or of ELLIOT,
or of RUSSELL. The transfer in that case would have
been managed so very easily. Yet, for all that,
whatever may be the ultimate decision of the
Legislature, or of the Administration, in reference
to the colony of Labuan, the name of Sir JAMES
BROOKE will survive to after generations among the
glorious catalogue of those great British Worthies
who have been among the noblest and the most
heroic of the world's adventurers !

A letter from Rouen states that the harvest is
now going on with great activity in that neigh-
bourhood. The crop, however, will be far less
abundant than last year's, and not more than two-
thirds of an average one. Some fields of rye and
oats which looked fine a short time since are
scarcely worth the expense of cutting.
MARSEILLES, Wednesday, July 27, B.3o.—Her
Majesty's steam gun sloop Coquette entered the old harbour
last night. As she was coming in her commander picked
up a fishing boat, which had broken away from her moor-
ings and was drifting out to sea. The Courrier de Mar-
seilles of this evening publishes the following letter, dated
yesterday, from Toulon :—" The steam gun sloop Coquette,
which had left Marseilles for a short cruise, was surprised
by bad weather near Toulon, and obliged to take shelter
in this port. On entering she saluted the French flag
with 21
guns which was immediately returned by
the forts, and then the flag of the Commodore, fly-
ing from the Ville de Paris with 11 guns, which was
likewise returned. The Commodore, in consequence
of the bad weather, sent off several of his boats to offer their
services to the English gun sloop. The commander of the
Coquette, Captain Foley,b on landing made it is duty to

An electric cable has been la'A down between
Cherbourg and the different forts of the roadstead
and the advanced or fortified points of the coast.

The war gave rise to a number of small daily

subjected to any of the conditions imposed on the
regular journals, are now to be suppressed.
The preparations for the grand fete of the 15th

The Opinioue of Turin, of the 26th, devotes a
leading article to the Italian Confederation, which,
it thinks, would be highly injurious to Piedmont,
if it were not impossible. Austria, who has always
been opposed to the liberal institutions of Pied-
mont, would, in the writer's opinion, find it her in-
terest to paralyze Piedmont in the Confederation,
the mission of which would be, to justify all
the arbitrary and reactionary acts of the other
Governments. Piedmont, in endeavouring to pre-
vent them, would always be in a minority, nay,
she might even be invited to adopt them, and in
case she refused, attempts might be made to com-
pel her, although that would not be easy, because
the people (of the other territories) would always
be on her side.

A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels,
says:—" The Emperor Napoleon, in receiving the
Marquis of Pallavicino, the Minister of the Duchess
of Parma, treated him with great kindness, and
made use of expressions which are of a nature to
remove all uneasiness from the mind of her Royal
Highness. The Emperor also received the Cheva-
lier Peruzzi, who was not, as has been stated,
charged with a mission from the Provisional Go-
vernment of Tuscany to the French Government,
but is merely the bearer of an address from the
Consulta to the Emperor. His majesty received
him most courteously, and in the counsels which
he gave, insisted on the reasons which ought to
induce Tuscany to accept the Government of the
young Grand Duke, who does not, however, pro-
pose to return to the States, which the prelimi-
naries of Villafranca seem to desire to restore to
him, unless with a constitution with which the
people will have reason to be satisfied. I regret
to say that the recital of a conversation said to have
taken place recently between the Emperor and
Lord Cowley is, quite unfounded. I should have
been glad if I could have confirmed the details of
the conversation alluded to, in which a general
disarming was said to have been promised, but it
appears certain that the Emperor did not make
use of the language attributed to him, and that his
majesty had not received Lord Cowley at the time
since his return."

MONEY MARKET' AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

During the last few days the market for Foreign
and Colonial Produce has been very inactive; and,
with a few exceptions, lower rates have been ac-
cepted for the principal articles. For tea, how-
ever, there has been a rather active inquiry,
and at public sales higher rates are obtained
for the better qualities of both China and
Assam descriptions. Sugars have been inactive,
and the limited business transacted in British
West India has been in most instances at lower
quotations. Foreign qualities have also shown a
slight depreciation in value. Coffee has been in
moderate ',demand at about late rates, Plantation
Ceylon being most inquired for. Rice has been
dull, and the inferior descriptions have declined ls.
to ls. 6d. per cwt. There has been rather more
demand for saltpetre at about former quotations,
and tallow is a shade firmer.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily, and prices were without alteration. The
sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. In Railway
Shares the transactions continued on a limited
scale, but a slight improvement was apparent in
values.

A steady demand for money is still experienced
in the discount market, and the applications at the
Bank are more numerous than for some time past.
The rates continue firm, and an upward tendency
may be produced by the preparations for the 4th
of the month, and other demands.

The City of Baltimore has been announced this
morning from the United States with £218,434 in
specie:

The meeting of the shareholders of the Unity
Bank took place to-day, Mr. Alderman Mechi in
the chair. The report was encouraging, and
showed a nett profit of £986 19s. 4d. in the busi-
ness of the six months. It was proposed that the
above sum of £986 19s. 4d. should be taken to the
account, and for the liquidation of old liabilities.
After some discussion, the report was adopted.

At the meeting of the Scottish Australian In-
vestment Company, also held to-day, a dividend at
the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared.
The half-yearly meeting of the Electric Tele-
graph Company took place to-day, when a report
was presented showing a total revenue of £97,906,
from which the directors recommended a dividend
at the rate of 61- per cent. per annum. The report
is now (2 o'clock) under discussion.
There has been very little animation in the mar-
ket for public securities to-day, and the tendency
of prices has been less favourable than might have
been anticipated, considering the satisfactory feel-
ing created by the announcement in the Moniteur.
Consols have been 95 to 951, but they are now
94 I for money, and 941 95 for the account. The
buoyancy of the market has been checked by sales of
money stock, and the approaching loan for India.
The New Threes and the Reduced are steady, at
951; Bank Stock is 221 to 223 ; and Exchequer
Bills, 28s. to 31s. prem. The 5 per Cent. Annui-
ties have advanced to 111 ; India Loan Debentures
1858, are flat, at 931 ; and the Scrip is steady,
at 941.

In the Foreign Stock Market business is rather
inactive, and Prices exhibit a downward tendency.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 81; ditto New
Loan, 701 to 711 ; and the 4 per Cents. have re-
ceded to 1041 ; Venezuelan 1 per Cents., to 14-T, ;
and Portuguese, to 443- I; Spanish 3 per Cents.
are steady at 44 ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. are
firm at 941.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 19th states
that some rifled cannon had been cast at Toula, and
that the operation had perfectly succeeded. It adds
that it was believed that, before the end of the
year, all the artillery of the Guard could be sup-
plied with rifled pieces, most of them cast in Rus-
sian foundries.

Senator Desambrois, the Piedmontese Commis-
sioner for the Treaty of Peace, left Turin on Tues-
day for Zurich.
On Tuesday evening the Fairy, with the royal
standard at the main and the Admiralty flag at the
fore, with the Elfin paddle yacht in attendance,
steamed up to Spithead from Osborne on a visit to
the fleet. Her Majesty was received with a royal
salute and Tanned yards from each ship as the royal
yacht steamed slowly past, the Russian frigate
Polkan joining in the demonstration. After steam-
ing from cast to west of the outer line of the fleet,
the Fairy passed down the inner line and round the
Polkan, after which her Majesty returned to Os-
borne. The fleet is now anchored at Spithead in two
divisions. The outer line or division commencing
i from the west part of Spithead, is anchored n the
order named :—The James Watt, Hero, Algiers,
Royal Albert, Edgar, and Neptune. The inner line
is formed with the Emerald and Mersey ; commenc-
ing from the westward, with the Flying Fish,
and Pioneer, C, anchored rather closer inshore in
shoaler water. The Russian squadron, consisting of
the Retvizan, 90 ; Gromoboi, 50 ; and Polkan, 44,
are brought up to the eastward of the squadron.
Signal was made yesterday from the Royal Albert
for one-fourth of each ship's company to have 48
hours' leave ashore, which has been accordingly
granted,
