ENGLAND.


LONDON, November 14.-The amount
Of bullion withdrawn from the Bank Of
England on balance to-day, Is $4,000.
LONDON, November IA, Al. M.-Large
speculative purchases OF sugar continue
to be made, mainly because Of the def.
cheney Of the beet root crop. In the
Stock Exchange Russian securities are
greatly depressed, almost to the extent Of
panic. They have fallen per cent
from this mornings highest point.
The TSmcs has q strong prof. Russian
leader on the Eastern question. II first
notices the slow progress toward an
agreement about the conference and its
basis; the facts which are clearly not
promising for its success, but declares
that the worst symptom Is q disposition
to prescribe before hand, conditions
incompatible with the ideas Of negotiation
and compromise. 1t cites rs thus incon-
sistent with the idea OF 4 conference, the
stipulation that there must be no limita-
ton Of the Sultan's sovereign will; but
those who labor for peace, It says, viii not
lose heart because the prospect Is not
perfectly clear. j. r f
The TINES condemns the past British
policy; aud says that II Austria and
Great Britain had known their interesh
last year they would have arrested any
extension Of the difficulties by promoting
what was then comparatively easy set
tlement.
1t then proceeds to forecast the future
in this wise: Suppose the armistice ex.
pires without conference or the eonie-
renee fails, the Car would declare war,
disavowing, probably, desire to add TO
the Russian dominions, or any other
than that Of securing good gov
ernment for his Slayonie brethren.
Many would say this was mere hypocrisy
and falsehood, but Il L, clear thit Eng.
land could, find no pretense for interteE.
ence until much more had happened than
the outbreak Of such ,aWar Tor such IN
ayoWed purpose. The time might come
whenw declaring to the Sultan our Re:
gret at the ineyitable partition Of his
dominions, might be Obliged to demEnd
that he Ahould resign Constantinople 70
Q power able to take care Of it. The
Isma says It does not suppose twill
come TO this, and Is Of the opinion that
the Gar would, before he provoked q
crisis, call for England's Intervention.
lWithservia aggrandized and independent,
with Roumania independent and aggrap-
died, the country south OF the Dan.
ube, in exchange for the terri.
tory ceded 70 Russia ON the north,
he would stop at that contented
with what he had done in work, the
complexion whereof must be left for an-
other time. But what q result this would
be of policy having for its frat note
the maiutainanee Of the Independence
and integrity Of the Ottoman Empire.
What we have described Is the probable
course Of the events to which
We must look forward, Il the
armistice expires without peace being
proclaimed. Without saying that under
no circumstances could 4 shot b fred
from English cannon, this much may be
hnhesitatingly declared, that II Russia
took up the war from Servias failing
hands, English opinion would no more
justify armed opposition to Russia than
It did justify armed opposition TO Seryia,
and the diplomacy Of Russia would Show
itself altogether deficient In the saQscity
