BEACONSFIELD AT HOME,

London telegraphic advices under
date OF July 10Th say thatal the morn
ing papers, excepting the Neus, COM
,ment favorably on Lord Beaconsfeld's
statement in the house of lords last
evening, in explanation of the British
plenipotentiaries in Berlin.
/ The scene in the house of lords sur
passed in brillancy and animation any
thing within the memory Of the living.
Every part of the chamber was denselv
crowded. The passage 5etweenf Lord
Salisbury and Lord Derby was very
sharp. Lord Salisbury said that Lord
Derby was constantly making revela-
tons, that this was his third speech since
he left the cabinet, and on each occasion
he had an instalIment of the same fatal
tale. Like DR.. Oates, he said, Lord
Derby did not know how much the public
would endure, so he gave his story in
broken dashes. So far as his (Lord
Salisbury's) memory served, / Lord
Derby's statement WAS not true On
being called to order Lord Salisbury
substituted the term "incOrrect' for
mot true" and disarmed any intention
to impugn Lord Derby's veracity .a

London advices Of the 18th inst, say
the agitation il. Italy against the Aus
lrian gains at Berlin, and in favor Of the
AGO uisition Of Trentievo, etc, is be-
coming so prominent that the govern
ment is apprehensive Of its effect on
Austrian susceptabilities. A manifesto
published in the SpiaHO, the Ministerial
ournal, Is an attempt to turn public at
tention from the dangerous subject Of
Austria's success to that Of the English
intrigue and the acquisition of Cv-

likely to cause trouble, especially as the
monifesto declares that Italy could not
at Berlin, and cannot elsewhere, attempt
to hinder the British action, which all
the other powers accepted. The COM
mission appointed by the ambassadors
at Constantinople, will leave Thursday

1t is not believed war with Greece
will result from the angry, disappoin Jed
feeling of the Greeks at the Berlin
treaty, but it is thought the boundary

vention of the powers. Delayannes,
Greek envoy to Berlin, now in London,

bringing the question to a settlement,

and Epirus, fearing that pacific action
there would enable the Turks to indefin-
