Eugene Engiand's Designs.

The English Ministers are far too practical and
skilful politicians not to understand that the sep
aration between the two fractions of the American
republic is de6nitive, and that cannon-balls
powerless TO patch up the discovered Union. Sew
eral of the members of the Cabinet have already
publicly expressed themselves the subject in
terms which allow no doubt to be entertained as
to their convictions. To what, therefore, must
their present dilatory system be ascribed! Hesi-
tation would be conceivable if it proposed to
resort to formal mediation, or an effective inter-
vention which might involve in more active meas
ures the Powers which undertook it but when it
is only contemplated to recommend to the belliger
ents six months armstice, IN order to enable d.
plOmaey to seek out and possibly to discover a
solution in conformity with the dignity and the
interests of both prrties, even with the certainty
of failure, hesitation is incomprehensibe. Public
opinion, unconvinced by the pretexts put forward
by England, will most certainly aseribe to other
reasons and to hidden motives, her inexplicable
refusal. Does she wish to behold the exhaustion
of both cOmbatants, the miserable death in the
commissions of civil of rival the greatness of
which has always caused her such great alarm
Is she afraid of exasperating by mere peaceful
counsel the ultras who gravitate round Mr.. Lincoln,
and does she dread for Canada the resentment of
thorough going UniOnsts
Once more, is John Bull afraid of Brother JON
athant
Does England prefer a policy of isolation to
acting in common with France and Russia. and is
she desirous of taking this opportunity to loosen
the bonds, which, for long time past, have united
her policy with that Of France on various points
of the globe!
All those questions which the public raise will,
no doubt, remain unanswered but is it not to be
regretted for the sake of England that they should
be raised
We have been happy to bear witness to the
good understanding of these two great nations of
Western Eurape in the various incid, nts of foreign
policy We have applauded it in China, in the
East, wherever their combined efforts sought to
promote the cause of freedom and civilization.
Why must that understanding be weakened in
America, in crisis which involves the existence
of great people and the prosperity of the whole
world

Agriculture.

The Melbourne Herald says the following figures
will show the relative agricultural position of Vic
toria and South Australia :-' For the year ending
March 81, 1862 the total land under cultivation in
Victoria was 42S, $50 acres. For the year ending
December 81, 1861, the total land under cultiva-
ton in South Australia was 1865 acres. This
gives to South Australia excess of 7,727 acres
over Victoria The total land sold in Victoria up
to March 81, 1862, was 3,035, ,692 acres The total
land sold in South Australia up to December 81,
1861 was 2,379 ,04S acres. The dispropoItion be-
tween the landholders in Victoria and South Aus
tTalia must consequently be vast. In Victoria it
would be less than one acre to every five and half
persons. In South Australia it would be more than
Is acres to every single person. The total land
fenced in in Victoria on the 3lst of March. 1862,
was 2, 2,722, ,545 acres. The total land fenced in in
South Australia on the 3lst of March, 1862, was
1879 ,992 acres. In this respect they to have
about kept pace with each other. OF the whole
purchased land each colony has about quarter of
a million of acres left unenclosed. But there is
one point In these returns on which no fair in
telligible comparison can be drawn. Mr.. Archer
gives IA 702 persons the holders of more than
acre of land each and Mr.. BOothby gives US
l 1893 ,672 acres as land held by freeholders. But
we believe the number of persons engaged in agri-
culture in Victoria to be much fewer than in South
Australia In Victoria, it appears, there $50
acres of vineyard, against 1000 acres in South
Australia.

From the London Times, Nov. Is.
EngIand's Diplomatic Calculations.

The course which the Queens Ministers have
chosen will we think, satisfy not only the English
public, but even the rejecting men in France, and
the Emperor himself. He NAV have been desirous
to let the Federals see that the disapprObation of
the war which is general on this side OF the
ocean, not without its effect on the chief gov
ernments of Europe. Reports have been SO many
and so various on this subject that the Emperor
has done well to let the opinion of his government
be fully known. 1t was said by speakers like Mr..
Cassus NJ Clay, that England-base Eng land
was the only enemy which the Federals had In
Europe, and that the continental sovereigns sym
pathlzed deeply with the efforts of the Americans
to preserve their Union. To abuse the Britisher
and to express unbounded confidence in France
and Russia has been the universal practice OF the
republican orators, some of them no doubt, believ
ing what they said, but the greater number I'M
PEELED only by spenetic hatred of ourselves and
u hope that they would sunder from our allies
on American questions. All this is at an end now.
In every household in every soldiers tent, both
North and South, it will be known in fortnight's
time not only that the French Emperor wishes to
end the war, but that he thinks it cannot end in
the subjugatiOn of the South. The moral effect
of this European discussion is, indeed, great as
if the three Powers had actually rendered their
mediation. If joint note were read to MIR. Sew
ard at Washington, it could add little to the warn
ing he receives from the dispatches of Nj. Drouyn
de huys ana Loro Lusseil' anu even Lrom tue
temper of the Russian government. What the
judgment Of the British Ministry is may be learnt
from the passage in Lord Russell's note in which
he speaks of 90 watching carefully the progress of
opinion in America" and of his hope that it
may be found to have undergone, or may hereafter
undergo, change, so that {" the three courts may
then avail themselves of such change to offer their
friendly counsel with greater prospect of its being
accepted by the two contending parties" We
cannot, therefore, look upon this proposal of the
French Emperor having been wholly useless,
nasmuch as it has called forth such opinions from
the two leading nations of Europe, and gives also
reason to believe that the Russia which the repub
licans so admire is equally opposed to the policy
of Washington.

The Financial Question Before the House
| In the House, yesterday, tho bill reported
from tho Committee OF Ways and Means wal
perfected by adopting various amendments
most Of which were contained in the substitut,
bills of Mr., Stevens and Mr.. Hooper. The
House then rejected both Of the substitute,
The expectation that the bill OF the COMMITTEE
OF Ways and Means, reported by Mr.. spauld
ing,) would be reported back to the House
from the Committee Of tho Whole, and acted
upon at once, was disappointed by the offer OF
another substitute, In a new bill, which has
been talked much sbYut for day or two past,
the essential feature Of which is to Issue Treas.
ury notes Of low rate Of interest and made
legal tender, instead of the Issue Of the usual
legal tender notes not bearing interest. In
other respects this new bill resembles the sub.
stitutc offered by Mr., Hooper.
The points Of disagreement in the COMMITTEES
of Ways and Means, in regard to the finance
bill, are reduced to only two or three, the most
important of which is the payment of the prin-
cipal and interest Of tho Treasury notes in law
full money, aud combining the payment of coin
to the long bonds, which, by the terms of Mr..
Hoopcr's bill, were payable at the pleasure Of
the Government al any time after the period
designated In the bond for It's payment. An
other point q disagreement 10 the limitation Of
the amount Of legal tender notes to less sum
than the amount of Treasury notes, which arc
made convertible into the legal tenders; thereby

this ship Ii bound for China but there is little
question that she Is bound upon practical ex-
petition, and It Is limited that Maury (now in

other ships arc receiving their machinery, and
will not be ready for the present. The same
steamer that took the guns, &C., to the Ala
bama was in port, and is likely to be soon en-
ployed In a similar service. A party of officers
attached to this feet have appeared In the naval
