w O "W 3ST TALK. BT CUE IjGKDCS COBKESFOIOJEKT. ————— fhtt readers mil understand that we do 1W. void ourselves responsible fer o-tr afsh corresponded s opinions. ] ABSOLUTE dearth of news and gossip must be my ] excuse for a very short letter. It is only necessary to look in the London weeklies to find how an exciting season has worn us all out The Gari- baldi riots in Hyde-park were, for two Sundays, rather promising, but on the third, we learn, people were only beginning to talk about them in case the Redan was levelled, and the rain washed out all fighting enthusiasm. It is confidently stated that the Irish rioters were provided with money — they certainly showed organisation. If any foreign power or potentate, if any friend of Meagher and Corcoran, the Yankee generals, has been spending his money in this way with the view of making a political impression in this country, that money has certainly been wasted. Riots like these have no more effect on the body politic of England than a flea on the neck of a fine lady; she wonders how it got there, but has no fear that it shall be the precursor of a family of fleas. The American news continues to puzzle us, and afford a eapital subject for the never-ending talk of those persons who, after dinner, always dis- course on some subject out of the newspapers. A Confederate Richmond newspaper seems to have gone to the bottom of European and English feeling, for it says that hopes of intervention were always absurd and unreasonable, for Europe can- not be better served than by seeing a dangerous rival divided and busy in playing the part of the Kilkenny cats. Mr. Gladstone made a" sensation when he said aloud, in the hearing of reporters, that Jefferson Davis had made not only an army, but a nation. All observers had felt the truth; it was given to the genius and eloquence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to embody it in words. If we want to find anything as ridiculous as the air of the Northern papers, pretending to treat with contemptuous indifference the Rebels, who have threatened the Northern capital, and twice driven Northern .armies from the field, we must go back to the times of the old American war, and read how great men like Dr. Johnson thought of American rebels. George III. himself was not more ignorant and overbearing, than the press rowdies of New York. Even now it would be rash to say that the South may not be beaten, but in serious battles it can scarcely be conquered. A cabinet council is called for the 23rd inst. This is much earlier than usual, and conjectures are rife as to the subjects to be discussed, fore- most amongst which are the protracted mischiefs of the American struggle, the Roman 'question, and the Lancashire distress. But it is believed that the first-named is the main point for conside- ration; and, from the hints that were dropped by Mr, Gladstone, it is hoped and believed that, ia conjunction with trance and, perhaps, other European Powers, England will join in proposing some conciliatory measures that will lead the contending States to an amicable agreement. Surely, by this time, they have had enough of war, and will gladly avail themselves of any aid that may release them from this awful embrace. Nevertheless, there are many who think the words of Gladstone do not point to intervention. They argue that Lord Palmerston is too shrewd to make such a mistake. The South hates us as much as the North. We cannot patronise the slave trade or slavery extension.. It is absurd to acknowledge a nation without assay; that was the answer to Hungary years ago. In their judgment we must grin and bear this cotton famine, and thank God the fight is not in our land or on our coast. Z. Z.
