Two events of especial American interest hap
pened last hight. You will have seen that The
Times (Which began all the English-Anerican eI-
citement by unexpected "leaders" almost strong
enough to have been eveed at Russia instead of the
United States) has been harping lately on mission
of troops to Canada. "Ten thousand " were to be
sent there straight from Balaklava, and the fact
was communicated with chinupng kind OF salts
faction as much 80 intimate Now, we shall
seel" Accordingly, last night Lord Egin got up
and asked Lord Panmure question on the sub
iect; ThereupOn great Pan delivered himself
| most decidedly:
"TLeTe is q general impression out-ofdoOrs that q
very large force is about TO embark for British North
America 1t quite true that 1t ia our Intention to
send back to North America certain number of regi-
mtnts which we took ION there for purposes of war
and it is not improbable that in the organization
of the amy by divisions and brgafe-, there will be,
all over British North America small addition to the
British amy But the impres, on that we to send
there large force for purposes OF aggression entirely
without fou5dation."
The same evening Mr.. Dallas was entertained
by the Lord Mayor, hose spetch was friendly and
cordial. Lord Stanley, NJ. r., was there, repre-
seatDg the House of Commons, and spoke on tbe
same points with hearty enthusiasm. lie thanked
the Lord Mayor
--' Foy having given him that opportunity Of
viz 'tbeir deep, ea,nes amos passionate desire, that,
be the chances and changes OF political events what
they might, England might retain inviolate that
national alliance of which they had among them the
living RI preventative.
OF course, one does not attach too much impor-
tance to speeches either in Parliament or the city;
but both these speeches are ofmportance and de-
serve remark, while the papers" and the
{" debates " are getting ready Panmures shows,
at all events, that the Ministry don't wish to run
any risk of being thought pugnacious while Stan
ley's has significance when we remember his
position. He is (whatever some OF his tendencies
may be) q member of the Tory party-aud if the
Ministry should go wrong in the American matter
the Tory party likely to turn them out and
succeed with pacific policy. The Ministry, in
spte of all Pamerston's dexterity, is not strong.
1t has had several little stupid defeats OF
late, and the world is agreed that it is
".haky." Now, let it make false step
when the great American discussions come of,
and down it goes. Lord Stanleys very strong ex-
pressiOns may prepare the world to see Derby
Ministry insisting that the men who have mislaI-
sced one war shall not be allowed to trade on in
fammatory excitements toward another. Aud
however difficult Lord Derby would find it to get up
the personnel ofa strong Ministry he is the only man,
/ think, who could attempt such thing with any
plsusibili;y now The latent Toryism OF this coun-
try is ala avs strong and the Russian war has so
scattered 10 bits the Coalition that while the Wings
and Guas-Liberals are at skies aud sevens, the
Tories might have another chance.
BY the way may tell you here that no states
man of the young generation is more talked about
now than Lord Stanley and that remarkable fu-
tune is certainly before him. The heir of the
House of Derby-One of the oldest and richest
families in the Peers, aud which, if you take
money, pedigree and recent activity together has
scarcely an eQual-must always be great man If
he OILY daJbtes in politics. But Lord Stanley has
taken up craftsmanship as his profession. and
works like Joe Hume. lie has the same kind of
interest in il that some of rank have in racing.
Then he is certainly man of parts and reading
without the parental dash to be sure, but quite as
decidedly clever III his own wsy-while the greater
steadiDess of that said way makes him suit the
English public better He acts with the Tories
But he is thought to be Liberal likewise, aud at
Cambridge he was remarkable for talking clever
liberalism" at breakfasts Should his father
ever ftrm another Ministry he will be Secretary
of State. You may remember that Palmerston
offered bin the Colonies when MOleswOrth died
stroke Of tactiSRe which eyeryb dy thought clever
and some Tories impudent. His position pre-
vented his taking it, even had he wished il, but the
offer was great sign OF bis popularity lie is
certainly very popular in the coubtry, and more
conspicuous there than in the House. He is.
may add, great amateur man about journalism,
which he makes kind of hobby of his, like Lord
l. with his yiolins, or certain other gentlemen
With less reputable amusements.
The Paris Congress held it's last meeting on
"Wednesday. The rati6catiops will be exchanged
about the end of the mouth. In the mean time,
SO well have affairs been kept quiet that nothing
creeps out about the terms, and less, if that be
possible about Intervention" in European States.
We take the peace very cooly, as have often told
you; and there is kind of vague notion that the
Black Sea 10 10 be rendered harmless and that we
have not decent pretext for fighting, with an
under.current of sentiment to the eec: that there
is potbng to rejoice about either. So that, although
illuminalious a'e talked Of and the town is won
derinq what some buildings in the Green Park are
intended for, nobody is anxious on the subject.
should indeed, any notable disappointment be
found in the terms when they do appear: that will
settle Palmerston's Ministry at once-a dissolution
6f Parliament would probably ensue; and ne
might perhaps expect rafting Reform agitation
