GOOD FOR sTOCKJOBBERs.

The Independent of to-day contains the foho"-
ing remarkable paragraph with regard 10 Dr.
1hurlow Weeds approaching visit to Europe;
Jus, as we are going pres receive most important
niece OF information from reliable II nothing
less than he eypressed eoHrifion Of Mr. Serord that the
o-r-enf cannot eceed in Liii ,7dr of IRE C0rsiraey
c probably be recognized by he European p0rsr' and
sat Peace be ,esrlt srty days. In view Of this.
Mr. Thurow Weed has been sent to England and II he shall
find tho Bsh Ministry determined to recognize the Con-
sderscy the Administration here will prepare At for
peace II pave the way for th that the d'coussus
report OF AdutsntGene Thomas allowed to be pub
lished We have space this late hOur to remark on
this information, except to say that II entirely correct '
we positively ssured will simply break down the
Administration AID destroy the country"
The Independent is quite too respectable a
sheet TO be the conscious tool Of the bulls OF
the Stock Exchange; yet the manifest absur.
dity Of this story should not have escaped the
observation of any astute journalist. That the
British Ministry is prepared to recognize the
Southern Confederacy whenever it can do so
without palpAble and perilous disregard OF
international comfy, we long ago stated; yet
il is certain to await the defnitive conclusion
Of the campaign on the Potomac aud IN Mis-
souri, before doing so. But, as We do not ask
nor expect aid from Great Britain in this strug-
gle, and as her Ministry do not propose to
render any positive assistance to the rebels,
her recognition Of their independence, should
il ever be accorded will amount to no more
than an authoritative expression OF British
opinion that the JEFF. Davis COnfederacy is
l. l.. Al ba, bad Inhu
Bulls opinion TO this effect served up to US in
every style from the date Of the bombardment
OF Sumter down to the present hour We do
not see that an official recognition OF the Con-
federates would add anything of value to what
they have already received from that quartor.
But the story that Dir. Weed is sent out by
Gov. Seward to sound the British Government
on this point exposes the fabrication 10 ridi.
cule. Mr. Charles Francis Adams is our Pleni.
potentary at the Court of st. James, where
his father and grandfather were welcomed and
honored before him. and his own selection for
the post is known to have been especially
urged, if not absolutely insisted on, by Gov.
Seward. lie who can imagine that Mr.. Weed,
appearing suddenly in London in an unofficial
capacity, NAV forthwith obtain information
with regard to the designs of the British Gov
which is not accessible to Mr.. Adams, |
our wellkuown and popular Embassador, must
be ready to swallow oil the incredible asser-
tons embodied in the abOve-quoted paragraph.
We do not propose to instruct the Admins
tratiOn Of President Lincoln with regard to the

do our duty when we render to the Government
of our Country all the support in our power
But we do not assume to counsel, much less to
dictate, when we state that the conclusion Of
a safe and honorable peace with the rebels is,
under present circumstances, naked impossi-
bility, and that this fact is thoroughly compre-
lended by the President and his Cabinet.
