Mr Labouchere, M.P. in IVitf/i, thus lays down his views of a sound foreign policy :—" I have never sought to concoal my opinion on what ought to bo our loroign polioy. They ate those of Bright and Cobden. With the British Empiro aa it is, I would rest satisfied, Russia might tako Asia Minor, Franco night take Morocco, Austria might take Servia, France might retake Alsace and Loraine, or Gormatiy might retain thorn. All this I should view with the equanimity ot the man Bpoken of the Latin poot who looks on tho surging sea from the vantage pnat of the land. The money of the British taxpayer would be spent solely for tho boneut of the taxpayer. I should attack no Power—meddle with no Power, I am not perhaps so fully in accord with Bright and Gobden in regard to our armaments. I should not waste money in havingacorpi d'armlt prepared to ]and on a foreign shore.; but I should have a navy able to defend us, and an army sufficient to garrison tho fortresses and coaling statiuns that we have in all parts of the world. As the Mediterranean is our high road to India, I should retain Malta and Gibraltar, and Aden on the Red Sea, No Power would attack us, for it is a remarkable fact that no Power in modern times ever has attacked ua before we attacked it, We are paying interest on a hugedebt that was contracted because wo rushed into wars which did in no way concern us,

Nine persons were injuredfour fatally—and the damage done to houses, shops and lamp-posts was considerable, The slaughtered bulls lay about the streets, and many of tho inhabitants helped themselves.
