The W.r Prospects Of England.
FROM the Ioadon Star, Nov 81
We find the ENVIRONMENTS of the last six months
70 be exactly six in number: :.
There. is FIRST, the Black Sea aair growing out OF

signed cannot be agreed upon by the very men who
made it. One thing, however, Is toierably clear

and that she has not done so. We fancy there is
little doubt that France likewise, no less than
Russia il decomposed by the attitude we have as
sumed and that II Austria approves it is only be-

Turkey has acted such see-saw part, now one
France or England predominased at Conssantinople
that her latest delverance upon the subject can be
Of NO account whatever. Here, then, is one slum-
boring element Of discomfort, which would require
httle TO be famed into q flame.
The next is the far famed threat of interference
with Naples, which every one expected to set the
whole Peninsula in blaze, but which We have now

but an unsavory smell behind them:

The cause Of this fourth /" little war; we profess
ourselves wholly unable TO discover-further than it
is connected in the usual way with consular or ann
bassadorial squabblings, and with a report-which
seems almost too ludicrous-that our government
has taken upon itseh the Office Of collecting of
cur own countrymeDs debts, which the Mexican
government refuses or hesitates to pay.
Then, in the fifth place, we have the Persian ex-
petition, which are told is all ready in perfect
state Of equipment; but whether it has sailed or not;
whether it is to sail at ALL If il sails what it is to do
and what the expedition is about-all these are
points kept in profound mystery.
And then, sixthly and lastly, there are the
troubles looming upon Us from the Cape, where the
Kanirs again restless, with the usual accompani
ment, call for more troops, more fighting, more
bOOdshed, more fat pickngs for the authorities and
employees at the Cape. There is yet seventh diff
