HOW IT LOOKS.

The London correspondent Of the
New York Sun, of the 18th inst says:
1.-The absorbing in~terestin Russian
operations is for the moment trans
ferred to the diplomatic world. En-
boldened by his triumph in parlia-
ment and certain CT support from the
nation, D~israeli is believed to pre-
pairing to precipitate England, joined
by Austria, into a conflict with Rus
STA. Diplomatic circles confess that
England's participation is 4 foregone
conclusion. Extraordinary prepara-
tons in the armament of both land
and naval forces are reported in all
parts of the kingdom. All home
transports from distant colonies are
under orders for troops. Great fleets
Of troop ships are preparing. From
all naval rendezvous p-odigious ac-
cumulations of naval and military
stores are enroute to the Mediterran-
can stations. Orders have been sent
to India to mobalize the Mussul-
man contingent. Under these signs
the markets have become unsettled,
and corn, anticipating cavalry de-
mands, has reached extreme prices.
The tone of the majority of the Lon
don and provincial press is outspok-
en- for intervention upon almost any
p~retext. War newspapers repeat
the street arguments that the Rus
slams disregard the final clauses in
the Black Sea treaty of 1854 guaran-
teeing the inviolability of a narrow
slip of territory north and west of
the Danube. War measures are well
coined with enthusiasm among the
great body of merchants whose bus
mess is crippled by the blockade of
the Black Sea and the cessation of
traffic with that region, which in
Liverpool, Glasgow and London
more than equals transatlantic ope-
rations. Besides this, various ranks
of business sustain heavy losses,
many suffering bankruptcy by the
capture, confiscation, or dispersion
of their Asiatic branches. In En-
glish homes, even among the lower
ranks, a feeling of intense hostility
against Russia is marked. They
charge upon the Cars covetous
ambition the hardships arising from
the rise in the price of bread the
stagnation in business, and all the
miseries that accompany war with
out its advantages. England's in
terests will be the pretext, and the
first Russian success of magnitude
the occasion for intervention. That
this will be the end, the best inform
ed men in Parliament, the press, and
in public life concur in declaring"
