Our Exchanges.

From the interior of the State, we have actually
nothing new. All hands seem to be squabbIing over
the result of the late Congressional eIecton,-the
text for great deal of the rit such rs it is which
is levclIed at the Raleigh Standard, all Of which
friend HOLDEN can very well survive. In opposing
MIR. VENABLE upon principle he did but his simple
and inevitable duty. An excess of caution, perhaps,
restrained him from taking decided stand at suf-
fciently early day. AS we have before observed,
the press did it's duty, far it went and if blame
able at ALL it is for too long continued forbearance
NOT for the reverse.
We learn from the Portsmouth Daily Globe
friend BADGERS sprightly sheet-that on Wednes-
day last the Board of Directors of the Bay Line of
steamers running in connection with the Portsmouth
and Roanoke Road, decided to commence another
boat ofextra accommodations and dimensions equal
If not superior in comfort and finish, to the North
Carolina The Bay Line is very successful this sea-
1t is the pleasantest line in the summer and
we know the officers and agents of the line to be
clever and accommodating.

Lever, in " Charles O'Malley." we think, tells q
story of an eccentric Scotchman, who was a cele.
brated Judge of wines, of which he formed his opn.
ion from the aroma. Being invited to some Lords
table, where there was u large company, the hos
asked his judgment upon some wine which had beer
considerably praised, adding that the company

The Peace of Europe.

Should it SO turn out that for the present the off
fculties in the East of Europe have been smoothed
over without any resort being had to active hostll-
ties such peaceable result must be attributed to the
unceasing efforts of England, induced by considera-
lions far enough removed from natural love of
peace or dislike to embroil her neighbors. The
motives that have controlled her action are simply
and purely commercial, and have an intimate con-
nection with the relations of DR.. and Cr There Is
not a nation the continent of Europe whose bonds
have not found their way into the London market
whether originally negotiated there or subsequently
thrown forward and this to an amount far exceed
ing all held upon the whole continent. Ihere Is
hardly commercial enterprise of any great extent
in which English capital is not, more or less, en-
gagged either directly Indirectly Branches OF
British houses are established at ST. Petersburg and
at Constantinople at Trieste and at Smyrna ana
perhaps in case of bombardment OF any OF these
towns, the first property to suffer would be that OF
British subjects.
Thus, while England is the great exchange mart
and loan Office of the world and thereby derives i'm
mense revenues from the tribute which her wealth
enables her thus to levy, such revenues instead OF
furnishing resources or inducements of war, operate
in a manner quite opposite, since q state of war
must have the effect of cutting off these revenues,
either directly in the of the power or powers
with which England might be at war, or indirectly
in other by dvertng the intended for
such purposes into other channels, to say nothing
of the in uries to an extended commerce or wide
spread speculation in foreign works. 1t is thus that
the restricted boundaries of the home empire OF
Great Britain, by forcing her capital abroad fol-
profitable investment, places it at the mercy and
subject to the fluctuations of foreign European poll
tics Say, for instance, she should 60 to war with
Austria Hundreds of millions of the public debt
of Austria are held by British subjects Say fur
ther that she should cripple or use up her antago
nst the result would be the destruction of Austrian
credit but the loss would fall far more upon the
British than the Austrian people, because there is
far greater amount of Austrian bonds held in Eng
land than at home In fact the amount that hel
people have at stake in every civilized country al
most, may be considered as many pledges ant
bonds to keep the peace under almost any circum
stances, unless certain of whipping her antagonis
and making money by it.
| We have territory enough to expand and to spec
ulate and to invest upon, without being forced t.
place capital foreign soil, and at the risk o
! foreign CONFUSION but we must not under estimate
the expansiveness of commercial enterprise of
mixed commercial people. We must not get fright
ened by territory. The time will como when al
will be wanted, and full plenty will US from
the present critical position of Great Britain.

Rev. Mr. E, gentleman of fervent piety and
commendable modesty, made an afternoon call in
family which consisted of bright and beautiful girl
of five summers. and another of some nine or ten
weeks. The stately divine ushered into the par

such company he could do no less than to relax his
dignity to the extent of saying few words to the ell
der daughter. So he went on thus" Well Ellen,
