POLICY, &C.


THE LIBERALS AND THE ENGLISH FOREIGN
POLICY, &C.
LONDON, April 6.-The Pall-8faA Ia
zette says that the movement with the object
Of preventing the Liberal party from tram
melting the Governments foreign policy has
received the support OF 1870 Liberal men,
bers Of Parliament, OF whom nearly one
half were prepared to vote with the Gov
eminent IL the leaders proposed any amend
ment to the address to the Queen in answer
to the proclamation calling out the reserves.
About seventy members will probably vote
for Sir MILFORD LaWford's motion declaring
the measure unwarranted and imprudent.
The salvors OF the Cleopatra obelisk have

THE MINCING LANE AND STOCK MARKETS.
LONDON. April Gin the Mincing Lane
markets during the past week the alterations
in prices have been unimportant. Saltpetre
is weaker, owing to the cessation Of specu-
lation. Sugar is unchanged and steadier,
particularly lower qualities. Plantation
Ceylon coffee recovered part OF the decline
last quoted; other kinds show little atera-
ton. "A further rise was paid for rice, and
extended shipments from Burmah checked
the demand. Black pepper has fallen to
lower price than since 1867.
The Economist says: War is not con-
sidered more imminent than at the close Of
last week. There has been some rally in
prices OF stocks from various causes. On
Friday evening the recovery was sharp in
consequence OF reports that Russia was
more peacefully inclined, hut on the whole
the week shows only moderate improve
ment. There has been considerable bust
ness in United States bonds. War in Eu-
rope could not damage Americas finances,
and might benefit her commerce in various
ways. American railways have been COM
paratvelv quiet. Treasury bills were al
lotted Mt the Bank of England on Friday at
q per cent. for six and D per cent. for
twelve months. In market the rate OF dis
count for three-months' bills was % to q
per cent"
Rsulnania.
LONDON. April Ga special dispatch
from Berlin to the Pail Mat Gazette says:
"The question concerning the position OF
Roumania is becoming more and more en-
barrassing. It is said that Austria has inti-
mated the desire that the authority OF Rus
STA should be limited as much as possible
during the passage OF the troops through
the principally, and that everything should
be avoided that might give character OF
Russian occupation to the temporary pres

Money saved.

The Lebanon (O) Patriot says -
During the first two months that Prof.
Firestone has had charge of the Co.
lumbus Insane Asylum, five thousand
dollars have been saved in the current
expenses of the institution, although
the number OF patients is greater than
when Professor entered upon the Su-
perinten6ency, and he feels sure that
this rate of reduction can be main
tanned through the year, which would
be saving of thirty thousand dollars.
So much for the O'Connor Legislature.
The Democratic County Treasurers
in Ohio have stolen an aggregate OF
about $4,000 during the last ten
years. When will the people learn that
it is not safe TO put the average Demo
