Losvox, July 29, 1882, Approaching Adjournment of Parliamen:—ihe Work of the Scasiom—The Distress im the Manufacturing Dis- tricts—Pvverty in London, de., eo. ‘The Parliamentary season is fast drawing to a close, ani little more will be dome in the way of logisiation other than tinkering up the Poor laws. Asis usual at the end of the session, the debates ar: discursive, going over im one evening the policy of th government in China, the merits and demerits of Arm- strong guns, politics and prod@ssions in Ireland, &¢., &c. ‘They elicit little that is new or worthy of remark. In China British trade is 0 be forced upon tho people by bioody arguments from British cannon. It is the old story, In Ireland the old religious feud shows new life, while the Armstrong gun looks very like a failure, and ube employment of Sir Williai very like a govern. meat job. All questions sink into insignificance before the fast gath ering cloud of distress that must soon envelope the king dom ; for it is shoer madness to assume that the ouffering nod to the cotton districts. It will affect hk of industry ia the land, prove the soreat blow to the prosperity of England that she bas ever yet encountered, Its efiects are already felt here ia London in increased poverty and . Women die from actual starvation, and assassins aud robbers ‘ply their vocation’’ in the most frequented aud best strcets of the metropolis. HM things grow much worse, men passing through Pall Mall aud Picadilly must rely upoa revolvers for protection to their lives and pockets. Accounts come worse and worse from Lancashire. It is vory sad to read of the efforts made by these poor peo- ple @ obtain food for their starving families. Their little savings are nearly exhausted, many having already sok! thoir furniture, even to their very beds. They are re- ceiving great praise from the rich for their stcadiuess in trying to avid parish relief; but to that dire fate they must come ere long, unless they resolve to make those guilty ailies of the American rebeliion—Briiish aristocrats and abolitionists—take up their burdens and share their miseries. I would not say one word to detract from the merit of the patient suffering and the laudable spirit of indepen- dence shown by the distressed cotton operatives, but it ig right that you fa America should know that the charity from which they shrink is uot the charity kuown with you. A paper in the London Cornhill Magazine for this month, comparing the English and French systems of re. lief, bears out much that I have said, though it treats the iniquitous system of Englaud with a leviency it does hot deserve, Lonpon, August 2, 1962. A Damaging Altack on the Palmerston Administration— Independent Position of the Daily News—The Late News from China—The Mexican <Arrangement—The Sound Views of Cobden, dc. , dc. Lord Palmerston’s administration—made up of whigs and liberals—bas just received considerabis damage from no less a champion of liberal principles than Richard Cobden, The Daily News considers it a death blow to the Premier's government—sontence of execution deverred till the next session. ‘The News compared the ministerial whitebait dinner last Wednesday to the boefsteak breakfast eaten so heartily by the culprit the fatal morning that he is de. livered into the hands of Jack Ketch. Yam not at al! certain that the American government and people would have any better friend or more magnanimous rival in the leader of the tories than they have in the ever-jevenile Pam. At this time the tory papers out-Herod th ernment organs in abvse of your government. The fac” tious party of tories, of which Derby and Disraeli are the leaders, may not be more hostile to your government than tho whigs. Mr. Cobden charges ‘ihe noble lord at the head of the government” with a love of fllibustering and of sensation measures, all of which are very expen sive-amusements for the people. Ie showed that govern mont expenses are eight millions sterling more annv now than they were when Disraeli was Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1868-4. He charged Palmerston with an utierly useless expense of over a million pounds in sending 14,000 troops to Canada during the time of the T affair, when be knew from M amg that Captain Witke had acted without authority, and that our governmont were perfoctiy willing and ready to make amends. To-day we get the news from Clina which will sur prise nobody, and create not the slightest sensation any where, and that ts that Gr itain is xoing into the small Operation of taking the empire of China under Mr. Bull’s protection. In other words, of making ovei hundred millions of people into a British colony. existence 4 a nation under one jorm of goverument more than two thousand years is any proof of @ rare and wise political system, then the Chinese must be set down as the first nation on the globe in the theory aud practice of political economy. And yet one stroke of the pen transforms that mighty empire into » colouial dependency and actual portion of the British kingdom. And yet this people. wheu you declare war ‘against Mexico, fight them, and obtain your rights, then go home and leave the country intact, call you “tlibua tors."” What & precious row there would be if Cucle Sam was to take possession of a barren rock in the orcan, five hondred miles from any other American terrkory or ‘sland. Filibustiero, Call yourself hero, And Yet commit wrongs like a Nero, Just for the sak peace in the family, the cli way for all other people is to admit that whatever Jobn Bull does is right, but that very many such nets, if committed by others, would be very neughty in- deod,, apd uot to be endured for a moment. Mr. Cobden gives American authority, and endorses i 4s perfectly sound, that hereafter, for any vation or na tions to attempt to ight or invade the country and au- —_ of Jonathan the First will be utterly futile, that a fow Monitors can sink and destroy any number of trans- ports and ordinary war vessels. Every one here knows this. No matter what the /ndep ndanice Helge may 88: or what sort of bulfying tone may be adopted in th there is no possible chance of intervention. At he English seem to be very auxious about poor ‘Sambo, and afraid be may be empleyed to aid in the war. ‘This very day I beard an English geutieman assort, in ublic dining room, that ninety-nine hundredths of tho itish public were desirous that you -bould not conquer the rebels. That is unquestionably true. Of course, then, they aifect to believe you cannot. Oh, consistency, arta jewel!

They have been a9 tons acoustomad to look upom us as 1m a wtate of pupilave that the fact that wo have placed im the fleld, in a little more than a year, the largest and finest body of armed mea im the world—that by our ingenuity, epterprise, skill aud rapidity of action we have compiotely reformed the na- val system of all maritime Powers—ia spite of these and other facta which are parent, it ia yet dificult for Europe to plainly see that “we, the people of the United States," do not exist by hor favor, and that it ig for bor and uot for us 0 decide the question wielhor the preseut gigantic iggle in which we are engaged shall leave us @ home, a country and a nationality or uot, ‘Tho recoil of the news which reached you two or thres wouks since, when the probability of fore! intorvantion med imminent, baa just come back to the shores of Kurope, and while, of course, it creates a fovling of surm priso, it will have a very benoficial effect. The mo: termination we show lo not only put an end to oor domes. Lic trouble, but to brook no foreign interference, the lose danger will there be of the latter being forced up.n ua. It is evident now that there i an understanding be- tween the English aud French governmenis that the “rime for intervention” has not yot arrived. ‘Thoro is ne doubi that both realiy believe that our present struggle will ually resolt in a separation, and that ai present the probability is that the North will, in the face of the ro- coat severe loases of men before Richmond, become ox- hausted with tho struggle and give it up, and in this view they consider it necdiess to expend men and monoy, and run the risk of throwing Europe iuto @ revolution, to aid in accomplishing that which they now beliove will ore long be euded to their hiking without their iator- ference. This view of their prescat position upon the American question is sure to bo the true one, by tke fact that the intervention projects were the most loudly discussed and seemed to have the most Likelihood of ‘being put in operation both in France and England, and when the Northern arma were achieving their greatest successus.. Now, om the other hand, when, at loast in their view of the matter, we have been suiléring some severo defeats, whe Kngiish government stops toe discussivn of the question of recog- Lition in Parliament; and the French journals, which have heretofore bevt: so anxious for Freuch interfercuce, receive their ene Lo stop ta)cing about the mattor. There is something more than waat of colton—somuthing doever and less generous than the desire to relieve the suttur- ings of the operatives of Minchester, Lyous and Rouen—which lies at the boitem of the course which England and France have adopted in giv ing aid and comiort to the rebels, They have conspired together to destroy the great aud growing Power which bars the way against their march across the American continent, So long as they believe that we will muvusliy exhaust ourselves in our present struggle they wil not interfere; but the greatest danger will be when tho ro- bellion is on its last legs, and when they believe their uid will enable the rebels to force our government to ac knowledge their independence, You may depend upon it this is the pian at present. Our course, then, is plain. We must not only show Europe our determimation and power to crush our dumestic feos, but also be prepared to tect and drive her armies from our shores, when we aro about fishing the rebelli n. Slidell may be hopeful, as he is said to have stated in a despatch to the Richmond government, that Fraoce would soon reeognize the confederacy; but he evidently has pot much faith in the speedy termiuation of the war. A Southern lady a few days since, here, in conversativn with him, asked him when he thought the war would be over, to which the ambassador replied, “When your hair is gray, madam”—which, considering that the lady’ locks are still of a rayen hue, signifies the impression of Mr. Slidell tobe that it willmot be this yearor bext that the Southern confederacy will have fuily achieved its independence. The Southerners appear to be in high peat the recent news, and are more arrogant and in- sulting in their manners than ever before. it is now said that the Mexicun expoditionary corps is to consist of 30,000 men, aud that Admiral de ls Grayiere, who Will sail from Cherbourg in the Normandie, directly for Vera Cruz, in the latter part of the mouth, will carry a Lim the final iuatrnctions of the Emyeror, as weil the decorations with which the officers and soldiers distinguish themselves are to be adorned.

The Southerners in Paris scem to be in very high spiri at the recent news of the partial rebel successes tn the West, and the prospective uprising in Kentucky and Ten. nessee.

The ap rctslization of the bodgot, 80 gracefully conceded by lita ; the commorcial Wroity with France, the iitigition of tho passport system, are all measures which the House could not help applauding and supporting ica in; and thas ho has managed mattora so cleverly that, although he his nota dozan declared partivans in the Assotably, ho has sly ever suMered a defeat, sud almost invariably had go myorities on his sida, The good homos, too, with which ho receives the occasional att upon himsolf and his colleagnes cannot fail to concilicte Wis most de termined advorsaries, and contrasts very favorably with tho boorish arroganco of Schwerin and tho bureaucratic pedantry of Paiow, who, up in exaggerated ideas of their im: portance, used to treat the like schoolboys, incapable of appreciating their superior wiedom, As long, therefore, as & really liberal ministry romaing unattainable, the majority might tolerate Van derheydt, and would have certainly no dosire to ox- change him for his predecess.ra if it were not for tho unfortunate army reorganization question, iu which their views are go utterly opposed to those of government that @ compromise seoms hopeless. It is not that Van- deuheydt himself is particularly in love with this prejest; ho would giadly throw it overboard altogether, and the Minister of War along with it; the difficulty lies in a higher quarter. The King bas rep:atedly doclarad that he would resign his crowa rather than yield, and so ho cousiders his personal honor involved; for he imagines tho Premier's reorganization achone to bo his town vantling, although it was im reality concocted by Manteuffel aud Van Roon, Hy» ta quite likely to put this threat into execution. Of course the people would pot exactly break their hearts at this; but then there is another ‘alternative which fs infinitely more hikely—i. ¢., the diss tution of tho Chambers and pro- mulgation of a new law of election, for the purpose of securing the return of a more obsequions Legislature. ‘fo be sure such @ proceeding would not square exactly with his Majesty's coronation oath; bat kings and emperors cannet be expected to’ he so particu- ; and, besides, by @ little skilful interpreta. tion, this difficulty might, perhaps, be got over without much trouble, In the case of the Et peror of Austria and the late King of Naples, the Pope gave plenary absolution, and the affuir was settled to the perfect satisfaction of all concerned; but Protest- antism is a very inconvenient religion, and it Is no won- dor it is getting more and more out ‘of fashion among crowned heads. ‘the importance of a powerful navy bas been de- monstrated more clearly than ever by the late events ia America, and nothing iS insisted upon with greater vehe- mence by Gorman patriots than the necessity of haying un eflicient maritime force; but such enormous sums are swallowed up by the army that there is very little left to to be spent upon the sister service.

Thera can be no doubt that he wishes to come to an undersiand- ing with Napoleon concerning the affairs of the Kast, which are in the greatest possible confusion, and in which the joint action of Russia and France, supported by Italy» and perhaps by Prussia, is absolutely necessary to over. come the resistance of England and Austria, who are ob- stinately opposed to any arrangement that would be pre- judicial to the interests of the Porte.

If the American government were inclined to accopt our good offices we should be most happy to tender them; but it ts &@ dolicate thing to come forward with such @ pro- posal unmasked, and might casily be miscoustiuet by your people, who are properly jealous of their national honor, I am not surprised, therefore, that hith- ‘erto the hints and insinuations of France have been po- litoly ignored by our Foreign Minister. Wo perceive that your (inanciers are debating the ne- consity of promibiting the exportation of gold, alisnagte by the last advices they had pot yet arrived at any cision on that point, In our ep'nion such a measm ought & have been trken long since, and we caw quote our own exam le in favor of it, noty ithsianding your well wishers in the English press protest against it us violat. ing ali the principles of politics! economy, When the Urioutal war broke out 1 1853, the Emperor Nicholas, who was Bo political econo st, but a very practical man, immediately prohibited the exportation of gold ucross the Kuropean frontier, with the exception of small sume of not above one hundred roubles, which were allowed to travellers. ‘The consequence was, that during the whoie war, {tur fiom being in want of money, we had 4 periect glut of specie, and bank notes were not“only at par, but even commanded a sual premium in distant parts of the empire. After the peace the probibition was taken off, avd at the samo time the high tariff replaced by a mode- rate scale ol duties; an immense intlux of foreign mer- chandise and » proportionate etllux of gold ensued, the precious metals rose by degrees to ten, fiiteen and twenty per cont premium, and we were finally obliged to contract & loan of 100,000,000 roubles on tormns we should have scolled at tive years ago to prevent a further depreciation of the currency aud a financial catastro] which even now is regarded by many persons as itsble, unless we resort to the old protective system. The truth is, that in excoptional times excep measuros are neces sary, and {hat somehow or other the most ingenious aud irreftagable theorics do not always work well in practice. Betore setting out on his tour, the Emperor paid a visit to Croustadt, to inspect the vessels just returned from the Mediterranean and the Pacitio—viz: the frigates Growoboi and Oleg, and the frigate Svetlana, cor- vette Griden, and gunboats Opritchuik and Stre- lok. The Svoilana hag brought home a great number of curiosities from China, Japan, Australia and other countries. she had visited in the course of her voy- age, which was an extremely interesting onc. She sailed from Cronstadt in July, 1859, for the Mediterranean, and received at Villafranca orders to join the squadron of Ad. miral Libatcheff on the coast of China, On the 19th of May, 1860, she urrived at Singapore, after a run of eighty- six days from Toulon (14,063 miles), partly under steam and partly under sail. From Singapore she proceeded to Hong Kong, Shanghae and Naugasaki, and was then sta- tioned at Viadiv. stok and Tsuzina, where a naval depot hus been formed for the Russian ships in Japanese wa- ters, which hus already attracted the notice and raised the British, On the 1st of November, 1861, sho left Woosurg roads on her return to Russia, touched at Mansla and Batavia, and sailed round tho continent of New Holland to Melbourne, where she hored 4th of January ,1862, proceeding thence via the Straits of Magellan and Kio Janeiro to Spithead, and so home.
