STOCK JoBBING MOTIVES.

LONDON, July 19.-There is some anxiety
felt in governmental circles respecting the
agitation at Rome and Athens, and the re-
ports from Constantinople that the Italians
propose to seize Rhodes while Greece sends
an army into Thessaly, but it is believed
that King Humbert will adhere with good
faith to the treaty of Berlin, and that the
Porte may be safely trusted to repel any in
vasion by the Greeks. Indeed it is limited
that these reports have little foundation in
fact, and are to be attributed to stock job
bing motives. ANY attacks upon Turkey
will now be repulsed by Austria and Eng
land, ii Turkey herself should not be able
to defeat them.
BEAcoNsF1ELD EXPLAINS AND vINDIcATEs.
Yesterday afternoon, as it was known
that Earl Beaconsteld would explain and
vindicate England's action at Berlin, the
House Of Lords was filled with brilliant
assemblage. The attendance of peers was
so large that all the red benches were filled.
On the steps of the throne were several
members of the Royal family. The gal
leries contained a large number of ladies of
rank and fashion, and all the members of
the Diplomatic Corps in London were pres
ent in their gallery. Upon rising to speak
Earl Beaconstield, who was looking remark
ably well, said that England had conferred
an inestimabie boon upon Europe and the
world by inducing Russia to assent to the
notifications that had been made at Berlin
to the treaty of San Stefano. England had
secured the peace of the continent She
had advanced the cause of civilization and
Christianity. She had given to her faith
full ally and friend, the Sultan O territory
secure from invasion. She had provided
for the engagement of political equality and
OF religious freedom i'll all his dominions
and in the new provinces.
England, he said, had always resisted the
partition Of Turkey, as it would involve
Europe and Asia in constant struggles. All
the European Powers, Russia included,
were now unanimous in the opinion that
for the best interest of Europe the Sultan
should remain great power in the world.
England would not be justified in going toa
long and expensive war to prevent Russia
from acquiring Kars and Batoum, and Rus
sia's demands had therefore been conceded.
The object of the Anglo ish convention
was not a military object. He urged Tur-
key to treat Greece with all consistent liber-
atty and said that Greece must learn pa
tience. In conclusion the premier said that
England had notified Russia that she could
go thus far and no farther. Asia was large
enough for both

The occupation of Cyprus by England was
not war measure but step in the prog
ress Of peace. He assured his hearers that
England did not fear war with any nation,
nor did she seek war. He said the Con-
gress throughout had been marked By an
earnest spirit of good will and true states

Beaconsfeld was repeatedly cheered, and he
sat down amid enthusiastic applause. A
large crowd collected in the plaza between
Westminster Abbey and the peers entrance
to the House of Lords greeted him with
cheers upon his arrival and departure.
