London, August 31.

Salisbury's speech at the Mansion House banquet on the 10th vouchsafed no information regarding the present state of England's foreign relations. The Premier laid stress on the importance of maintaining a continuity of the country foreign policy. He regretted that the Liberals had reversed the Beaconsfield policy towards Afghanistan and Egypt, but he could not at once undo the work of the last five years. He could only seek from it all the possible advantages for the country. Salisbury believed that the main desire of the coantiy was to have an interval of peace and repose, an interval of construction instead of destruction. The Government would devote themselves to the restoration of that cordial feeling among the European Powers which was essential to the prosperity of the world. He hope that at next year's banquet he would be aide to say that Prussia and England and their allies were marching side by side regarding each other in peace with mutual reapect. A committee of inquiry, consisting of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Manning, and others, whose names are already known, have made their report after sifting the evidence of witnesses and the material before them. The committee declared that they are satisfied that the statements made by the Pall Mall Gazette concerning the system of criminal vice in regard to the treatment of young girls are, taken as a whole, substantially true.

Murray Smith and Garrick had an interview yesterday with Stanley, when they discussed the question whether the Enabling Bill would be amended or not. Stanley pointed out that there was a risk of the bill not passing if amended. He would therefore use his discretion whether to bring in any amendment or not.
