EXTRACTS FROM LATE FOREIGN


qntemnable Egyptian affair, and conferences
hre announced as being about to take place on
this subject in England. As Mehemet seems re-
fsolutely bent on making no abatement in his pre-
Tensions, and as the powers are equally deter
hmined not to suffer the rights of the Sultan TO
Ne infringed, the only point to be settled is the
II Ist mode of enforcing the submission of the
j = bilious vassal. As far as France is concerned,
Y is understood that M. Theirs, on his accession
E power, entered into stipulation with the king;
E lat no change offoreign policy should be attemp-
z@ ID; but whether this be- be not true, nothing
|zn Jas TRANSFERRED to give c!Ue to the DISPOSE
~ Eons Of the new cabinet with regard to the vice
& troy.
The sulphur question, in which France is as
Imuch interested as England, is not yet settled,
q put the reports of war between Naples and Eng
s land are premature, and have been denied in par
Riament by the minister for foreign Affairs
/ Prince Cassaro, the Neapolitan minister who, BY
shis injudicious treaty with the French sulphur
company, has got his master into a scrape, has
& peen compelled to resign, and is succeeded by
s. fhe Duke of Silla-di-San- Christina The new
minister has not yet given defnitive answer
20 the claims made ON Naples. France imports
hearly three times as much as Britain, for Rou-
In and Marseilles consume 81 ,S74 cantari, while
Liverpool, Falmouth and London take only 80
E55 The French adventures have already in
Btore 450, 900 cantari, although the yearly con-
buption does not exceed 100000. Several cabi-
bet councils have been held on this subject
l'he monopolists have offered to come to terms
81 they by reducing the minimum price or by ac-
. n Sing yearly revenue Ill compensation for
Gtain pccuniary sacrifices which they profess
70 have made.
III From the London Morning Post Of .Ap7u 10.
IA MONEY MARKET, Set is stated III morn
9 ling paper not distinguished by its affection for
1.-THE Bank of England, that the examination of
Mr.. Smith Ga gentleman connected with one OF
1.-The Joint stock banks at Manchester before the
select committee of the House of Commons, on
banking affairs, was concluded on Friday, and
Ehat 'if the gossip current here on the SUBJECTS
10 be credited, the evidence he has given is of
kery forcible and decided character against the
continuance of the baneful monopoly of the Bank
bf England" Our contemporary ought to re-
follect that according to the ancient and excel
Pent adage, Some story is always good until an
bther is told" and that the evidence of gentle
nen quite as intelligent and respectable, and who
hre much less deeply interested in the result Of
khe investigation now in progress than the Smiths
bind the Cobdens, has yet to be received
If it were upon the testimony of this class OF
witnesses alone that the fate of the Bank of Eng
and had to be decided, there can be no doubt
that the labours of the committee would be very
Ppeedily brought to close We suppose 1t is
lolerably well knows by this time that the joint
took bank people at Manchester, who have not
he obligation imposed upon them, as the Bank
n England have Of supplying the whole coun-
Inv with bullion aEe in great dudgeon with the
directors, because, when they choose to thwart
Ind embarrass the Bank, by increasing their To-
bal note issues, though the interests of the coun-
lry required thew should contract them, they Qhe
bank directors) refused to discount their paper.
IThe notes Of the Bank of England being legal
lender every where but at the Bank itself, are, IN
leslity, the bullion of the joint-stock banks, and
Il is, perhaps, but natural that the managers OF
HE latter should, at times, be as anxious to get
lite OF it, IS they are provoked when, with all
heir tricks and mannuvering, they find them
ives foiled and disappointed.
