LORD STANLEY. - - - - _. a…
LORD STANLEY. a He is a very able man is Lord Stanley, said an old Indian who had been thrown into close contact with him, "only he is so dammed sensible I" That is a rough but precise i expression of the failure which weakens a mind otherwise of unusual power. No speech has been uttered during this recess, not even by Mr Gladstone, so full of practical ability as the one spoken by Lord Stanley on Mon- day to his constituents at Lynn. Almost every political subject now before the public is discussed, and on every one there is a hard, definite, working opinion offered, an opinion on which men can act, and which even when they dislike it they must respect for its consistency and clearness. No matter what the subject, the Italian craving for Rome or the desire of financial reformers for direct taxation, the quarrel with the Australian colonies or the reforms to be made in the German Confederation, there is a clear intelli- gible conclusion, short as an aphorism, neat as an attorney's statement of an unanswerable case. The impression of an attorney's office indeed rests somehow on all the paragraphs of the speech. Each topic is taken up in turn, examined, docketird, tied in red tape, and laid aside, as if human intellect had done its best and settled that matter out of sight. And it is well settled. If Lord Stanley were really what his speech shows him, anxious to be Factor for the Universe, no tenant could rahe any very plausible objection to his action, could hope to prove that his interests were neglected, would have any resource except to spring at his throat in sheer despair as having things so unpleasant proved by argument so irresistibly reasonable. If all the tenants were thinking machines without prejudices or aspirations, or dreams or follies, we doubt whether Lord Stanley would not even be popular as well as respected, for granting those impossible data, never were ideas more perfectly worked out. Their only fault, as the Indian said, consists in;heir overplus of sense, in their lack of sympathy for beings who are governed sometimes by desires which are lower sometimes by impulses which are higher than mere sense in their failure of consideration for the strengths and the weaknesses of mankind, for passion and prejudice, and patriotism and all spiritual emotion,—in a word, in their lack of imagination. Lord Stanley is as able as it is given to mortal to be without imagination. His remark on Rome is a perfect illustration of his mind, reverberates exactly the key to which every tune he plays is arranged. He is quite willing Italians should have their capital, quite tolerant of their feelings, quite willing to respect every prejudice which has in it any element of power. But he does not understand why they oare about Rome. History is nothing to him, or tradition, the worship of recollections is weakness and the alarm of associations absolutely im- perceptible. Tell him of water-privileges" and he sym- pathizes, tell him of the soothing effect of falling water and be only makes the necessary deduction from his estimate of your brain. I do not think we in England can easily un- derstand the extreme importance which the Italians attach to the possession of what is an unhealthy and decaying town, possessing no peculiar military and commercial advantages, and with nothing to recommend it except an historical name. He allows for emotions of course as forces, as he would allow for the wind in rifle shooting, but for himself he would pull down the Coliseum to make a site for a new market, or run a tunnel under Cavalry to secure commerce for Jerusalem. He refers to Germany, takes into account everything except the popular wish for unity, and calmly decides that Prussia and Austria must absorb all the minor States, and that England ought to approve, for they answer n') political end." He speaks of non- intervention and approves it absolutely, referring to II feel- ing and political passion -that is, to the desire of freemen to see freedom uniierial-as merely a disturbing influence which may thrust itself across the only path of wisdom. It is this defeot, this I.nabhty to perceive that nations are awayed by theimagia?Hon as much as by the understanding, by feeling rather than sense, by sudden deairea rather than carefully-considered plans, which constitutes Lord Stanley, weakness, and »hich superb, administrator as he promises to be, ,it I one day involve him in some great failure, possi- bly in some collitiion with the people. For the rest, Lord Stanley produces a bundle of opinions and proposals all moderate, all reasonable, and all more or less likely to sucoeed. His views on nuance in particular are as sound as they are courageous. The very deficiency of hie imagination makes him lucid, for he cannot bear. to see any subject or plan surrounded with the soft hazo which the imaginative love to leave any prospect half-defined, any menaoelying in the shadow. Fearing his constituency very little and his party not at all, he calmly tells the people of Lynn that be expecti frequent surpluses, and that he is prepared to simplify the tariff still further by taking off the taxes on corn, timber, and other of the few articles still remaining on the list, thus giving up the last relics not only olth».- Prutecionist system but of the Protectionist faith. Unmindful <»f agricultural meetings, he announces dial netty that be shall not support the repeal or immeiiate reduction vf the fuelt tax, tha: abolitiou would reduce the revenue from spirits as well as cost £ 6,000,000, and that tea has in his opinion a preferential claim. What the Conser- vatives of Essex will think of the douche of cold water he has poured over their pet enthusiasm we are unable to predict, but if we understand them they will endorse most emphatically the remark of our Indian friend. Nor will the Conservative middle class of the towns, whose represen- tative he really is, be much better pleased with his sound apology for retaining the income-tax. They hate it not for its amount, but because it is levied in a worrying way, by a elf-assessment which tries their consciences, and an exposure of their affairs which is to a reserved race as annoying as cross-examination on their religious creed. Lord Stan- ley makes no remark upon all that, refers only to the weight of the tax, and defends it as absolutely necessary to a just balance between taxation on property and taxation on wages. Nothing can be sounder than his argument, though it lacks the felicitous touches, the popular illustrations Mr. Gladstone or Mr Cobden would have given it; only it does not strike the real point, the sore feeling produced by the mode of collection. It convinces people that they must submit, but does not reconcile them to submission. So with his remarks ou the insurance duty. Lord Stanley holds the tax bad, proposes to reduce it to sixpence, and then suggests that with that low figure the exemption en- joyed by farming stock and machinery may as well be abolished. The thought that the farmer clings to his ex- emption as a bit of justioe, as a little relio of privilege, as something worth the money twice over because he is in other respects unduly "put upon," never crosses his mind. Thre is the expedient course, and what matter nonsensical feelings of that kind ? Of course as a statist he is quite right, but a statesman would have remembered also that votes are not unfrequently alienated by proposals which statistically are unanswerable. And lastly, the same defect of imagination pervades his able summary of the wnrk pressing immediately to be done. We must, he says, con- solidate and simplify our cumbrous and complicated law do away with the purchase of commissions at least in the higher grades of the army;" solve that intricate problem the law of settlement utilize the vast funds at the dis- posal of the charities reform a licensing system which satisfies nobody;" regulate marriage laws in Ireland and Scotland;" make private legislation more satisfactory amend the patent system;" and remove the inconve- nience of having causes tried over again in private in the Home Office after they have been publicly tried by a judge and jury." Nothing can be more reasonable than that bill of fare, and nothing less appetizing. It is all cold mutton, very good wholesome food no doubt, and plenty of it; but then even hungry men do not look very eagerly forward to cold mutton alone. In the whole speech, masterly as we acknowledge it to be, powerful as must be the mind of the speaker who prepared it, there is not one fhsb of genius, one scintilla of fancy, one ray of wit, one sentence indicating that LordStanley understands even the meaning of humour. The British Associatin when lately discussing the diet of Englishmen demonstrated that oatmeal was the very best food for man. It contains most carbon and most nitrogen, most of the muscle-producing fibra, and most of the quality which encourages the growth of bone. It as cheap as good wheat and as easy to cook, requires fewer condiments and leaves the sense of having been fed, which men who work with their hands so keenly appreciate. The solitary objec- tion to it is that Englishmen do not like it. Lord Stanley's speeches are like that-the very oatmeal of politics.— Spectator.

The Marquis of Bristol is not so well as the previous medical reports had induced his friends to suppose. A child has died from eating yewbrrie. in Finchley Cemetery. Though the pulp is harmless the seeds and husk are not. It is said that a sisterhood is about to be established in connection with the parish church of Leeds, under the sanction of the vicar and the active encouragement and co- operation of the curates. HEALTH OF THE EARL OF CARLISLE.—We regret to learn that the sanguine hopes of the noble earl's speedy recovery, which had been recently expressed by some of our London contemporaries, are not indulged in by those who have had later communications from Castle Howard.— Dublin Express. The Rev J. P. Gardiner, a missionary in Rupert's Land, gives the following word of eighteen syllables as an illustra- tration of the peculiarities of the Indian language:- Keguwecheahpetowkesiunemeohesoometinawan" I will dine with you." A CLERGYMAN SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS' PBNAL SERVITUDE.—The Rev C. Jones, 50 years of age, was tried at the Northampton Borough Sessions on Friday on three indictments-obtaining 20 yards of black silk by false pre- tences, with attempting to obtain a silver watch on false pretences, and with attempting to obtain a scarlet hunting coat on false pretences. He was convicted on the first two indictments, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE OF THREE POTATOES.—Three large sized potatoes, planted in Mr Ransom's garden, at Hawthorn-cottage, on Southampton common, were this week dug up, and found to have produced 362, weighing in the aggregate 7Hbs. A dozen weighed 16 lbs., and four selected from the dozen weighed 6i lbs. These potatoes were planted about three feet apart, and kept well earthed up as they grew, each root forming a small mound about 18 inches high.-Bants Advertiser. The commissioners who were appointed by the Lord Chan- cellor on a sort of riding commission to discover abuses in the provincial Bankruptcy Courts have been holding session at Manchester: and over-hauling the accounts of a messen- ger in bankruptcy there, found that he is bound to disburse to the public a sum of L1060, which they allege he has over- charged on a variety of accounts. The messenger, however, alleges in his own defence that his charges were all regularly submitted to the official commissioner, and were passed by him ai, what in fact they are substantially, proper and fair charges. SINGULAR ELOPEMENT PROM LONDON TO HEREFORD. —Late on Saturday night the last train which reached Hereford from London brought with it a sort of clerical doctor, a dandy little Frenchman, and the scion of an old English family. Drive me said the reverend looking old gentleman, to the owner of a chaise in attendance, to one of your best hotels," and they were soon set down at the front of the City Arms. They were all more or less excited and the leader of this band of three no sooner saw his younger companions within the ooffee room than he bolted up to the bar door and asked for an immediate audienoe with the landlord. This personage was not on the premises at the time, and the respeoted landlady volunteered her assistance in any emergency in which her services could be of any avail. Hereupon landlady and visitor went to the coffee room, and the old gentleman unburthened his mind to the following effect: 1 am the principal tutor to the sons of the Hon-aud- we reside in a mansion in the neighbourhood of St. John's wood-my patron and his lady being at present on the Continent. The gentleman who accompanies me is the French tutor in the family. We had, up to Monday last, living in the family an exceedingly pretty person, as parlour maid, named Richards, and it had been observed that the young heir, who is only 17 years old, but remarkably well grown, occasionolly paid her some attention, but no danger was anticipated. However, she left on Monday, havipg pre- viously given notice of her intention to do so. On Wed- nesday both young gentlemen were at their studies, and on Thursday morning I as usual looked into the bed room of the eldest, and observing him as I thought fast asleep, passed on. Breakfast time arrived, and he was summoned by the servant whose duty it is to do so, when lo and behold there was only a dummy in the bed, made up of some blankets and some other things. The house and neigh- bourhood were scoured without obtaining any tidings of my lost pupil, and it was only yesterday that his younger brother, in turning over some papers, found a letter torn into shreds and, on carefully placing them together, the name Richards, Church street, Hereford," was decipher- ed written as an address. Acting upon this we have come to Hereford in pursuit, and we want to know what steps can be taken to make inquiries whether persons answering to the description of the young woman, whose name was Richards, and my young master have been seen about here. The landlady rememlered that a large number of persons were announced as being given in marriage on the previous Sunday, and an appli- cation was made to the Rev John Goss, of St Paul's Cathedral, when it was found that on. the morrow the parties would have been asked out," as it is termed, after three consecutive askings. The whereabouts of the pursued having been found, the fascinating, rosy cheeked daughter of Herefordshire, and the scion of an ancient no- bility were unearthed, but lodging at separate houses. The lady was of course, all tears at the prospect of blighted hopes, but the young fugitive ought to thank his lucky stars that he has had suc h. a narrow escape as being tied to a pretty but wide-awale wife at the early age of 16. SHOCKING AFFAIR NEAR PRESTON. —On Friday evening about half-past six o'clock, a most distressing event, which has plunged two families into the deepest grief, occurred at the house of Mr John Mansley, gardener, Walton-le-Dale, near Preston. Frank Mansley, a member of the Walton battery of the artillery volunteers, had been out during the day shooting in his father's garden with a fowling-piece, and on his return to the house placed the fire-arm, loaded in the oorner of the kitchen beside his carbine. About half- past six o'clock he went out, leaving in the house his brother William, about 22 years of age, and a girl named Martha Bennett, 12 years of age, the daughter of one of their im- mediate neighbours, who was assisting in the household work. He had not gone many yards, however, when he heard the report of a gun, and hastened back to the house, when a horrifying Bight presented itself. The girl was lying on the floor, and his brother William was standing on the other side of the kitchen in a state of stupor, utterly unable to answer Frank's inquiries as to what had occurred. Frank feeling sure that the poor girl had been shot, ran off to the residence of Dr Ashton, but learning that that gentleman, was at the parsonage, he hastened thither and fetched him. As Frank left home on this errand, two men named James Bolton and B. Holme, and two women, entered. One of the women fainted on seeing the body, and the other fled at the sight in horror. Bolton and Holme, with the aid of one or two strangers, carried the unfortunate girl to the house of her parents, next door but one, and this was the first intimation they had of the terrible incident that had deprived their daughter of life, whom but ehortly previous they had seen in full health and vigour. Dr Ashton, on his arrival, found that the vertebral column had been shattered by a gunshot, and that the wound was from two and a half to three iochc?n diameter. Her death must have been to three inche *?illiam Mansley, the unwitting author of this calamity, seems to feel it acutely, and all the family are in great distress. A very striking series of misfortune has occurred within the past few years in these two families. A cousin of the Mansleys named Frank Woodhouse. has bad his thumb shot off, and another cousin, named Wear- den, a finger shot off. Last summer but one, William Ben- nett, brother to the deceased girl, a fine youth 16 years of age, was drowned whilst bathing in the Ribble; another brother was aeriously injured at a foundry last Tuesday, and is now under medical treatment. Thomas Bennett, the father, who had been ill upwards of six months, resumed work only a few weekii ago. Mrs Bennett, on seeing the corpse of her daughter, fell into an agony of mind most painful to witness, and could not be paoified for a long time An inquest was held on Saturday evening, when William Mansley stated that he thought his brother had been shoot- ing with the carbine, and that he was examining the fow- ling piece, uot being aware that it waa loaded, when it exploded. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." —Fronton Herald.
AGRICULTURE. I
AGRICULTURE. I BLOTCHES AND SWELLING ON "HE SKINS OP CATTLE.— A friend of mine has had what hen is called "tinge" both in a cow and feeding beast. The bead, lips, and sides swell in lumps, and the bearing in the cow was as big and to black as my hat. Lumps suddenly break out along the sides as big as an egg, some as large as an orange. What is the nature of this ? I am told it is a mgnation of blood. You would do a service to brothsr farmers if you could throw a little light upon its nature and treitment. [The lumps of which you complain doubtless result as you suspect from a disordered state of the blood, which :n its turn is frequently traceable to some unsuitable food, or other oause of indiges- tion. We have seen such eruptions in horses proceed from copious draughts of water 'audiciously giren to animals much over-heated and unused to have water allowed at such times. Sheep and cattle when first put on fresh succulent clover, rape, or mustard, arc alsosometimes similarly affected. The appropriate remedies oonsirt of small doses of saline laxatives and alteratives, whicl will help to improve the faulty state of the blood. A suitable draught may ba made with three ounces of common sslt, and an ounce each of sulphur and nitre, with half a pound of treacle, repeated every day. If the patients are veakly this mixture may after a few days be set aside and at; ouace each of tincture of the chloride of iron, gentian, and ginger given twice daily in a bottle of ale.] ECZEMA—AN ITCHY ERUPTION 3N THE HORSE'S SKrN.- Some time ago I saw a notice about the virtues of carbolic acid. I hare a case of what my farrier calls eczema in one of my horses. He suddenly rubs limself against the stall posts until large patches of hair art rubbed off, a id the skin torn and swelled. He becomes for a time quite unmovable. Is carbolic acid suitable for this, ard in what proportions or how ought the case to be treated ? [Eczanaau, and indeed most other itohy skin complaints ii horses, proceeds from deranged digestion, and you will therefore find it most desirable at onoe to give your horse a dose of physic, which may consist of three drachma of sloes and one drachm of calomel, administered either in a bolus or as a drenoh with water or gruel. Reduce the amount of stimulating dry food, interdict beans, and order daily in allowance of carrots. Swedes, ar other roots. Twice or thrice a week in a good bran mash give half an ounce of nitre and a little salt. As washing the irritable surface increases the intolerable itching, dry applications are preferable to wet ones and few dressings are better than a gentle rubbing twice a day with the ointment of the iodine of sulphur. Obstinate cases are usually much benefited by the use of Fowler's solution of arsenic, given in ounce doses twice daily. The Fowler's solution with tincture of arnica may also in such cases be applied externally. If carbolic acid be used it should be em- ployed diluted in about fifty parts of water. It it generally an excellent means of allaying irritability.]
AGRICULTURAL REALITIES.I -…
AGRICULTURAL REALITIES. I I At the meeting of the North-West Buckinghamshire I Agricultural Society at Buckingham, Sir Harry Verney, M.P., having referred to apprehended soarcity of labour in the rural districts and to the efforts now making for the improvement of agricultural labourers' cottages, said He had always been opposed to that system which found favour some years ago-that of getting rid of ttle agrioul- tural labourers, by sending them into diistant part,, of the country, or advising them to emigrate. The beet thing to do was to keep them at home, to find them work, and im- prove their condition as much as possible." He also expressed a wish that some practical farmers would address such meetings as that they were then attending. Mr Hub- bard, M.P., referred to the Union Assessment Act and its operation, which appeared to find no favour with the farm- ers, and to the great increase of agricultural produce which has taken place during the last ten years, not- withstanding the competition to which the country was subjected." Sir H. Verney's call on the practical men brought up Mr J. Holdom, of Thornborough, a farmer, who said be "felt tempted to make some observations on a subject of great importance. But before he did so he would aik the tenant- farmers whether they were satisfied with having their land under the year-to-year system ?" This question was answered by shouts of No, no, no," from the farmers, and the efforts of others of the audience who would have suppressed such manifestations, produced something likj an uproar. Mr Holdom then notioed that, although several subjects had been discussed, no reference has been made to that system. He would relate a practical instance of its injurious working: A young farmer competed the previous year for cultivating in the best manner. He did not get the prize, but his farming was of undoubted excellence, and was mentioned favourably. That young man's rent within the last few days had been raised 20 per oent. He would ask whether that treatment was a stimulus to good farming ? For his own part he knew what it was to live under both systems. At the present time he held a lease of one and twenty years, twelve of which had expired, and he had grown wonderfully during those twelve years." Here we are told by the report that two or three persons made renewed efforts to prevent Mr Holdom from continuing his speech, while the farmers generally urged him to go on, and considerable uproar and altercation were the results. Ulti- mately the noise subsided, and Mr*Holdom,—who seems to be just the man to row against the coventional stream at these meetings,—went on and said Now, he could not understand why landlords should not grant leases to good tenants; but some people say the landlords cannot hold the tenants in their reins, if they are not under the year-to-year system. A landlord ought not to have undue influenoe over his tenants; but, for his part, he never knew a tenant who would not oblige a good landlord, even though the farm was held by lease. If they [farmers] were under the year- to-year system, they would not so much as plant a currant or a gooseberry bush; and if the pigsty wanted repairing they told John not to put more than one nail in the board, for they did not know how long it might be in their posses- sion." That is a homely but graphic account of the way in which the yearly tenant system acts on farmers to prevent improvement. Indeed, can any one honestly tell a tenant that it is safe and prudent to cultivate his land highly with- out a lease? If he did so, he might not have his rent raised the first, second, or third year; but a time would certainly come when some revaluation of the estate would take place, and then the improving tenant would assuredly have to pay a higher rent, in consequence of the increased value of the farm caused by his own improvements. Mr Holdom then suggested how farmers should act to alter the bad system of yearly tenancies If the tenant-farmers would only take farms under landlords who would grant leases, they would see what could be done. If he ought be allowed to address the landowners present, he would say, If vou have a had tenant, turn him out. but grant vour good ones long leases.' He had no doubt he had said too much to be liked by some gentlemen present. That is certain, and it is to prevent such outspoken realities and to make things pleasant at the high table that the managers of these local agricultural meetings arrange the speakers and the order of speaking. There are probably half a dozen farmers at most agricultural meetings who would say just such things as were spoken by Mr Holdom at Buckiaghikm, if they were encouraged or allowed to speak freely- Mr Holdom conoluded: "With respect to what had been said on the subject of labourers' cottages, he might men. tion that not very far from his place a noaleman had pulled down the cottages on his estate, and sent the labourers to find their homes in other parishes. Those men never saw their falllires by daylight for five months in the year. It was on such estates that reform was needed." We do not wonder that when this speaker sat do an he was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering." And if agricultural j meetings continue to be held, to this complexion it must at last come. Ditficult seasons and low prices for gram will force farmers to speak out, and, as it were, compel the landowners and their political spokesmen to deal with the substantial realities of English husbandry. Nor will it be by farmers only that better and wider views of the neces- sities of modern agriculture will be propounded. We have amongst us landowner fully equal to the ocoasion, though at present they are in a minority, and perhaps generally they do not like to set themselves against the prevailing tone and temper of the majority of their body. Some there are, however, who have ere now done, and are still doing, good service in the cause of agricultural improvement, amongst whom we would mention Sir John Pakington and Mr Holland, whose speeches at the Evesham Agricultural Society deserve a more extended notice than our present limits permit.-Economist.

On Friday, a labourer named William Lyon, aged 25, was charged at Wigan polioe..office with attempting to drown his wife. Lyon is an idle, worthless fellow, and as he seldom did any work he had frequent quarrels with his wife, who at last left him, and went to reside with her mother. On Wednesday she asked him for money, which he refused to give. She lollowed him and on the bank of the Manchester Canal he suddenly seized her and deliberately threw her into the water. The woman was rescued as she was sinking a second time, and has re- covered. The prisoner was remanded to the petty sessions. -Manchester Courier.

THE CORN TRADE.
THE CORN TRADE. LONDON, Monday.—Notwithstanding slight occasional indications of rain, the past week, up to Friday night, was characterized by drying wind. The benefit thus secured tt the condition of the grain has been much more than counter- balanced by the want of moisture. Many mills have remained inactive, the wells in different places have become exhausted and the seed sown has either not vegetated or partially be- come the prey of birds. While France and the more southerly part of Europe have similar complaints, in the North the time has been rough and rainy, and the conclu- sion of the harvest, as well as the digging of Potatoes, has been hindered. Let us hope, however, so far as our own country and Ireland are concerned, that genial showers will not be lon< in coming; for as the land has been oleaned more effectually, the bulk of the autumnal sowing may yet be properous. Since writing the above our hope seems near its realization, there having been a fine fall of rain. As regards the Wheat trade, markets show but small indica- tions of revival, and though some symptoms of improvement have been here and there manifest, tho continued high rite of discount and commercial mishaps check all speculative feeling, though our general averages have sunk to 38s Id, thus puttin; the price of Wheat below Baans. With meat so high, it is no wonder that human food is now being appropriated to the feeding of cattle as a means of better paying growers, but is it likely this state of things can be lasting? France has no surplus this year; nor have we nor is there a portion of the globe where any accumulation of importance can be pointed to, as a store in case of need. Fertile Egypt is in deep extremity, and importing from Marseilles at prices heavily pressing upon its labouring poor. The Federal States of America are no longer reliable as a grand emporium war has spread its waste in the far West, and stolen the tillers of the soil to shed their blood as enemies in the land of brethren. Even had the neglected land still teemed with plenty, the chaotic derangement of finances, as the consequenoe of Northern persistence, would be sufficient to throw all commercial enterprise into the shade. Let not a temporary depression, then, make us for- getful of a probable future of another kind. Egypt's seven years' well-gathered stores were all licked up in the days of famine and the only year of which we can biast was 1863. We fear no famine, and God forbid the reality but it is no new doctrine that extremes are near of kin. Last week's supplies were generally good, but not heavy. Exports only 175 cwt of flour. Of English wheat there were 7,168 qrs., of foreign 22 639 qrs. The show of sample this morning from Kent and Essex was very small. There was rather more firmness in the trade, the bulk of tho Enlf lish supply going off more readily, at the rates of this day wook. There was also an improved demand for foreign, and fully as much money was paid for fine and useful qualities. Of country flour there were 16,161 sacks, of foreign 305 sacks 16,677 barrels. Generally the trade was quiet. The same rates were demanded for country sorts, but not very freely paid. Good barrels brought former quotations. Other foreign sorts were dull: Town prices the same. Of British barley there were 3,568 qrs., of foreign 12,245 qrs. The trade was steady, but not active. The better supply of foreign having some cargoes out of order these have been sold at rather less money. In malt, trade was very quiet, the average samples of the new not being equal to the fine old, which sells but slowly Of oats there were 25,943 qrs.—viz., 1,015 qrs. English, 2,590 qrs. Scotch, 9 980 qrs. Irish, and 15,358 qrs. foreign. The supplies being more moderate this week, there was some recovery from Fri- day's dullness, but last Monday's rates were not exceeded. Of native beans there were 525 qrs., of foreign 2,728 qrs. Old foreign maintained former rates, but new English were difficult to sell. Of English peas there wore 793 qrs., of foreign none. New gray peas were about Is per qr. lower, old foreign about the same. Of linseed there were 12,961 qrs. Exports 750 qrs. Notwithstanding the better supply, prices both of seed and cake were maintained. In seeds very little was doing, but rates were generally maintained.

The continued dryness of the weather in France has limi- ted the manufacture of Flour but the Paris market, though not heavily supplied, has been very quiet, without quotable variation from last week's rates 44 to 48f per 157 kilos (28s 6d to 318 per 2801bs) still being the range for the first qualities. The Wheat trade had but little offering, but the want of water and difficulty of selling Flour made millers very careless about buying; the top price among dealers was 27f 50c per 120 kilos (?ay 42s per qr.), and the range cur- rent with farmers 25 to 28(. per 120 kilos (38s to 43? per qr). The small business done was almost exclusively in fine qualities, the rest being totally neglected. Rye remained very firm at the previous rates, say to 15f 75c per 115 kilos (25s per qr.) for the best. Barley was rather lower, 15f per 100 kilos (24s 6d per qr.) being about the highest quotation Oats being less abundantly offtfred, were fully as dear—15f 50c per 100 kilos (say 18s per qr.) being still the price for De Brie and the finest sorts. In Seeds but little was doing, and prices have become nominal. The Wheat trade in country has been heavy, and prices rather tending downwards. Ber- ques noted a fall of Is 2d per qr., Sable of Is 6d per qr. Bordeaux and Marseilles were oalm. In Belgium the markets have been moderately declining quotations at Antwerp being 44s for Baltic red Wheat. At Liege there was a decline of 6d to Is per qr. on Wheat, but Rye was rather dearer, little being brought to market. Barley and Oats were unaltered, but Flour sympathized with Wheat. In Holland prices were rather giving way. At Maes- tricht the reduction in Wheat was 5d to IOd per qr., but Rye had fuither improved in value. Rotterdam, though well supplied, found tolerably free sale for Zealand Wheat at former rates. At Mayence supplies of gram had been scanty, and though buyers were expecting a reduction in prices, holders for the most part resisted any sacrifice, and the price of old Wheat remained 42i, but new was only worth 40s. Rye was wanted for export. Fine Barley had also improved in value fully Is per qr., and such had been the failure of water for the mills that Flour during a fortnight had risen 3s per sack. Some light rains had fallen in the neighbourhood of Cologne, and the weather had been very favourable as a seed time. Prices were gradually but incessantly giving way native Wheat on the spot to 40s, foreign 37s. Lambotte Flour 30s per 2801bs. After a considerable degree of cold at Straubing, there had been a nice fall of rain. The market was principally attended by buyers :of Barley, which went off readily at from 19a to 22s 6d. Wheat was but a slow sale at 32s to 36s, Kye Zis tid to z3s bl, Uats las ya to ios aa per qr. A fair having been held at Porrentruy, there was a large attendance, but principally consisting of anxious sellers. The prices brought for Wheat were 4ls 6d to 453 9J, Bar ley 23s to 25s 6d, Oats 14s to 17s Gd, Flour 31s to 338 per 2801bs. t. Rough weather having been ruled at Danzig, it had been impossible to secure the remainder of the Oats and Peas, or to raise the potatoes. The corn market had, notwith- standing, been very dull, and though the best Wheat kept up its price, sales having been made at 47s 7d per qr., freight to London included, low qualities were wholly neglected, a week's sales not exceeding 8,500 qrs. Wheat and 4,000 qrs. Rye, part of the latter being for Belgium and Holland. The calm last noted at Venice had still further increased, there being no speculation whatever. The interior was in the same state of auiet. A new rise in gold at New York occasioned an advance in Flour, ebiefly for home use, as the English markets left no margin to exporters for November and December delivery, 4,000 barrels extra State were placed at 8 d 75c per barrel- say 178 2d. At Melbourne, Adelaide, Flour was worth zC22 per ton, and Wheat 93 6d per bushel. Shillings per Qr. ) ouiuings per ur.

OUR POLICY TOWARDS GREECE.
Hence, in spite of warning and remonstrance, the ex- periment was tried in Greece, and the disastrous nature of the result can be no longer concealed. Even the Times, which promised the most satisfactory issue to the process, is constrained to admit:—"The five and thirty years which have succeeded the emancipation of the country from Turkish rule have been worse than wasted and the whole work of reconstruction has to be begun over again." In these very elegant terms does this accomplice in the conspiracy against the independence of a foreign people wail over a failure that everybody with the least claim to sagacity knew to be inevitable. What a painful admission for an organ that has done so much to serve its hard task-masters! The spirited policy that involved in perplexity instead of affording a solution for the Spanish, the Polish, the Sobteswig.Holstein, and a dozen other questions, has not been one whit more successful in Greece which is now added to the long list of Palmerston and Rus- sel failures. In a country, where it was believed that these subtle operators had everything completely their own way they have been baffled, and after above a quarter of a cen- tury of empty professions and of high sounding pretensions, their own advocates declare that no good has been achieved, and that the work of reconstruction has to be commenced de novo. A stronger condemnation of an intermeddling policy could not be pronounced by the fiercest political op- ponent, and the fact that it has been extorted from the most unscrupulous of Ministerial partisans is sufficient to show the real charaeter of the emergency. Unfortunately, however the matter does not terminate here. The Whig panacea has failed as egregiously with Lord Palmerston for Prime Minister and Earl Rus- Bel for Foreign Secretary as it did when the position was reversed, and Earl Russell directed the policy of the Go- vernment and Lord Palmerston was his faithful lieutenant. Bat such adepts at trying dangerous experiments are not to be easily baffled If one Whig expedient has ended in disappointment, nothing can be easier than to try another; Earl Rossell may have been foiled, but he cannot be silenced. Russia has administered a smart leprimand, Prussia assumes a defiant attitude, America shows dis- trust, France stands aloof, and Denmark turns aside with disgust, but the noble Earl is not be discouraged. Surely be has the right of attacking Greece, a newly-fledged king- dom on which he has not only bestowed a constitution, but to which he has also given a king, and added a province in the shape of the Ionian Islands, On this object he imagines that he may at least vent his ire without fear of the conse- quences, and defeated in all other directions, he has taken to lecturing Greece, though, fortunately for this unhappy people, he cannot do this, like Mr Gladstone, in their own language. Earl Russell has applied himself to his new task with earnestness, and would, probably, where lie called to account for his impetuosity, exclaim—" Has not a nan a right to do what' he likes with his own ?" Re- strained from further diplomatic action by means of arro- fant dispatches with!any of the great Powers of Europe, he Has assailed his unfortunate protege Greece with unwonted virulence. Though we have not, like the Hellenic Government, en- joyed the advantage of persuing this remarkable document, yet we have reason to believe that it is not couched in oliday terms. When Earl Russell begins to scold it must be admitted that he does it in true virago style. Once an admirer of democracy at home the Foreign Secretary assails the democrats who clamour for impossible reforms in Greece, and is evidently anxious that, now these turbulent tMonln have aecured a constitution and an accession of terri- tory, they should adopt his own motto—" Rest and be thankful." And as the Greeks are not to be won by promises, Earl Russell, probably as a last resource, deter- mined to try the effect of threats. So he penned a despatch, in which it was set forth with much force that England, as represented by the Palmerston-Russell Coalition, will not recognise factions in Greeoe, though they have obtained and engrossed power themselves by an adroit use of factions at home. And England, if the Parolles of the Cabinet is to be believed, will go even further than this. If the Greeks will not listen to reason, England, though pledged to a a policy of non-intervention, will, supported by France and Russia, interfere to maintain order after her own standard, and to protect a dynasty of her own selection. Whether some course of action between this country and the Courts of St Petersburg and of Paris had been arranged before this threat was made, we are not in a position to state all that we can vouch for at present is that such a threat has been uttered. It is true that one of the Liberal organs questions the accuracy of the intelligence, and administers a reproof to the Timet for directing public attention to the subject, whilst another announces that the aUeged project of inter- ference is without foundation, though what this really means it would be difficult to say. Time will, however test the value of denials couched in such obscure terms. Enough has transpired to show Earl Russell is indulging in his old propensities, and the interference that produced so many disastrous results and involved this country in so much humiliation, when applied to the Scbleswig-Holstein question, is once more in the ascendant, Greece being now the victim on which our Foreign Secretary displays his skill. Our principal object in referring to this question, which will occupy the attention of the Legislature, and become the subject of its earliest discussions, is to show that the foreign policy of the Government remains unchanged. In spite of the general condemnation pronounced upon that policy both by Parliament and the public, in spite of the animated discussion on Mr Disraeli's resolution, in spite of the pledges given by Ministers and their defenders, whilst they pretend that non-intervention is their rule, they intermeddle when- ever what they consider an opportunity presents itself. Again and again did we declare that the autumn would produce its usual crop of difficulties created by uncalled for interference, and in the middle of the recess three cases have occurred, whilst it is impossible to say in how many other directions the busybody who presides over the Foreign office has been exercising his dangerous propensity. Earl Russell commenced the autumnal campaign by lecturing Prussia, be then tried the experiment on Austria, and hav- ing failed in both instances he turns in despair towards Greece. His conduct furnishes another proof that good resolutions made under the pressure of extreme peril are forgotton as soon as the emergency which produced them has passed away, and that Whig legislators are still the most arrant violaters of their promise to btt found in the gross band of the unfaithful." We hope ero long to be able to publish this extraordinary despatch in extenso; for the present we must rest contented with directing public atten- tion to the subject, which affords a painful illustration that "non-intervention" in the Palmerston-Russell vocabulary means, as the Earl of Derby at the commencement of last session aptly characterised it, "meddte and muddle and that the warnings of past embarrassments and failures, and many narrow escapes of ejection from office, have not pro- duced the desired result.—Press.
