Nothing further had transpired at Zurich
beyond the general assertion that progress
continued to be made towards signing the
treaties of peace. 1t is said the treaty will
be complicated and will leave Austria a chance
to quarrel with Piedmont.
The Paris Constitutional contains an arti-
Gle by its chief editor stating that the preimi-
nares at Villafranca had rescued Italy from
every foreign intervention; no matter under
what name or from what power it might come.
France confines herself to giving the Italians
proper advice, which if followed by them
would have insured that prosperity of Central
Italy; but having in vain offered advice, she
cannot go so far as to dictate orders to Italy.
Latest reports say the treaty between France
and Austria will probably be signed at Zurich
the 10th or 18th inst Austria consented to
sign on all questions belonging to Lombardy.
Great Britain.
AFFAIRS WITH CHINA.-Olficial correspond
ence between the British Government and its
official in China, relative to measures taken
for the ratification of the treaty at Pekn, is
published. Bruce, the British Ambassador,
states positively that if Admiral Hope had ex-
pressed doubts as to the result of the attempt
of forcing the passage through Peho, they
would not have been shared by the squadron,
and if it be decided that means at command
were insufficient to justify so bold line of
policy, Bruce accepts the responsibility of Adj
mral Hopes act. Lord John RusseIs reply
virtually approves the course taken, and says
preparations are being made in conjunction
with the French Government to enable forces
to support the plenpotentaries in their in
structions. Bruce in one Of his letters shows
the position occupied by Mr.. Ward, the Amer
lean Minister, and expresses the opinion that
the Chinese will not make difficulties about
exchanging notifications with him, as the con
ditions under which the American Minister is
alone enlisted to visit Pekin contain nothing
offensive to the Chinese pride.
Bruce expressed much qualification at the
friendly feeling and assistance received from
Mr.. Ward and flag officer Tatnall, and con.
cludes as follows: "Ward's position is one of
considerable difficulty nor do | see after our
unsuccessful attempt at Peho that any course
was open save the one which he has adopted.
He has acted cordially and frankly in the spir-
1t OF his declarations to me at Hong Kong, and
it is matter of satitacton to me that his con-
cert in our previous proceedings is strong ar
gument in favor of the line of conduct pursued
by M de Bourbolon and myself
The GREAT EAsTERN.-The Great Eastern

day of the Europas sailing. Her departure

AMERICAN CorroN-TlIe cotton brokers of
Liverpool and manufacturers of Manchester
are again raising IA loud cry against the prac-
tice of mixing sand and dust with American
cotton. The brokers association Of Liverpool
presented memorial to the American cham
berS of commerce on the subject, requesting
the chambers to use their influence to stop the
practice The memorial says that i'll last years
imports the sand and dust would in all proba-
blllty form portion equivalent to the weight
of l0O, 900 bales, and the admiXture had caused
depreciation in the value Of cotton greater
than was proportional to the sand and dust
gain. The American chambers recognized the
importance OF the movement, and a memorial
is to be printed for circulation in the United
States.
