ENGLAND LOOKING fO AMERICA. Mr. Jskaku, the English Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a great specch Recently raado to the electors of Buckinghamshire in speaking of the warlike relations of the continental powers thus alludes to the security which England would derive from her relations with this country: "I know well that if there is to he a war of aationslities, of opinions, and of races?a war of revolution nnd construction?we shall weather the storrn. [Cheers } It will nol he England that will suffer. It i* Enrone that 'will bo injured ; Europe thnt will l>e desolated; nnd the very potentates whoie pride d ambition and lust of conquest arc bringing about this perilous state of affairs, will find themselves at the end iD an inferior position to that which they now occupy. Qentloraen: * Ws hear a great deal of the balance of power, of the importance of sustaining certain barriers in Europe, and many -ii i ' u.i viui? which iu a ccrinin uegree ar# true, ?nd which may for a certain time prevail; but let me take this opportunity of impressing upon you that the day ia coming, if it hoa not already come, when the quostiou of the balance of power cannot l>e confined to Europe alone. Smcc the time when that doctrine obtained great- communities have riaen in another hemisphere, who will not he limited to Europe. You have on the other aide of the Atlantic vigorous and powerful communities who will no longer submit to your circumscribed theorv of authority. The *Australian colonies, though now in their youth, but ia the youth of ginnt*, hare already, as it were, thrown their colossal ahadow over Europe; and it is for old Europe I lament that ahe ia exhausting her encrgiea and resources in these warn. I conld wish that *he would miner prepare for that awful competition which in coining time alio must encounter. I wonld rather see France and Germany and Russia develope their resources, improve their gricolturc, increase their population, and cultivate th? art# of life, social and scientific, instead of wasting their stability, and sinking, when the era to which I have referred arrives, by their own mi?mnnn?ement and wont ol prsscience, into an inferior and exhausted position. Remember alway? tbat England, though sh? > bound to Europe l>v tradition, by affection, by great similarity of habits and all tho*e tics which time alone can create and consecrate, it not a mere Power of the Old World. Uei geographical position, her laws, her language and religion conncct her as much with the New World as with the Old; and. although he has occupied not only an eminent, but, I an bold to say,'the raont eminent position nmonp European nations for ages, still, if ever Eurnpi by her shorteightedneon falls into an inferioi and exhausted state, for England there wil remain an illustrious future. [Cheers.] W< re bound to the communities of the Ne? World, and those great States, which our owr planting and colonizing energies have created by ties and bv interests which will sustain ou power, and enable us to play a? great a part n the timea yet to "otte as we have Hone in th past Jcheers] ; and. therefore, now that Eh rope is on the eve of war, I ray it is for Eu rope, not for England that my heart siDks." The London Tikes on Englirr Neutbalim ?On the question of English Neutrality, th London Time* thus defines the position oj En; land : We seek for peace. and ore prepared to ac here to it at all hazsrds, so long as our neutra ity is respected ; and there is no urgent an immediate danger of ao complete an overlhro' cf the balance of power in Europe as woul mska our abstinence from taking any part i the conflict an example of short sighted an perilous timidity. We are ns diligently en piuycu in nu^inrniiu^f jubi bb r ranee unu z\ut tria are a* diligently employed in deBtroyir their capital and tbcir resource*. The grei military monarchic* of the continent, like tl ancient King of C'appsdocia, though ricli laves, are poor in money. The mechanic contrivances of modern times, which bare i enormously increased the number of comhi acta, crowd years into a few week*, and a< celerate the period of that mutual exhausti which must ultimately separate I hi most d termined combatsnrs. If Austria and Fran bring three or four times as many men into t field aa they did during the wars of the rev lotion and the empire?if they must arm th< with weapons much more complicated a< more complicated and much mora expensive if tbey must accompany them with an artille as superior to the rude machines with whi we atrova to destroy each other only fl years ago as a watch to a sundial, it seems fnllnw r?(>*ttarilr tVmf. mpn mrinAV arid n terial will be proportionately sooner exha led, and therefore if we can contrive to p serve for a few months the neutrality we ha announced, we slisll 6nd ourselves in a pc tion not only secure, but commanding. The German people, it is said, sympnth with the Italians, but they have no confidei in Lov is Napoleon as a liberator. They pr ably think that the exchange of one despc rula for another in Italy would he dearly p chased by their aiding France and Russia tbe dinmemberment of Austria, or contri ting towards a new treaty of Tilsit It d not follow that there is no sympathy for It io Germany, or elsewhere, because people ot believa that France will endow her * what ahe herself has repudiated, and wl she considers utterly worthless.

The Uto advices from Europe which we publish in another column, report at last a collision between the Allies and tho Austrians, and ' defeat and retreat of the latter. Previous ao. icos bad led us to anticipate such a result from the superiority of the French troops. They have been rapidly accumulating at the the threatened points of attack, and now probably exceed 100,000 men. Tlieir previous inaction has been attributed to the non-arrival of provisions and military stores, hut with the reception of those we may expect that the French Emperor will prosecute vigorously the advantages which ho has gained. In the meantime the conduct of the Austrians has been weak and vascilating in the extreme. - ? * 1 After ft tasli advance, iney nave ueeu iun.ru m beat ? liaaty retreat, and after perpetrating a number of barbarities, which hail the effect ol increasing the irritatiou of the popular mind. Late account*state that active revolutionary movements were taking place iu Lombardy ; and thus with a vigilant foe in front, and an insurgent populace in the rear, we may anticipate that they will be speedily driven from the peuinsular. So long as the war i* confined to Italy, and the French Emperor confinei himself to the tHsk of regulating the re'at ioiif of the various Italian States, it is likely that England, the German States and Russia will preserve their neutrality. But the chief dan Kcr of a general collision seems to arise froir the present re volutionary condition of Tarioui provinces of Austria, and which may tempi the unwarrantable interference of the Frencl ruler, and thus provoke the hostility of thi other European powers. These are nil inter ested in maintaining the integrity of the Austrian empire, and maintaining the balance e power ->n the Continent. . aE DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. We learn that the Executive Committee < this Society are vigorously prosecuting tli work of obtaining the names of Annual an Life Members. A subscription of $15 will co: stitute one a life member. This sum is not re quired to be paid in cash, but only the annui interest, ($1.06,) the payment of which is ei 1 forced by the penalty of forfeiting the print pal in ease of failure. Thus, the life memhe are subjected only to the payment of a emn e annual contribution, during the existence . the Society, and upon ita dissolution they a j relieved from any further liability.

THE DISTTJBBANCES IN UTAH. .j.

The Pre lat ident did not consider it right or necessar j]] that.he idionld instruct them in their duty; i he never dictated to the judicial departinen le7 The President was only responsible for the af nl- pointmeut of properin*n. and they hod bef iry se'eeted from a large number of persons wli Djj, were willing to he employed in the snine sci . vice because of their high character for lean rt ing, sound judgment nnd integrity. The Go' re- ernment had a district prosecuting officer ?rn that Territory, and itwn^his duty to arrei Qf see safely confined, and to prosecute criminal . and for the judges to hear patiently, and <1 n termine impartially. according to the eviden the on both sides. The Attorney General, after < Lee, lating at some length on the relative niltlw lr0. ty of the Governor of the Territory, and t judges in this case, closes by giving the folio B;te '"g a8 very decided opinions of the Pre ors dent: 1. That the Governor of the Territory alo rth- has power to issue n requisition upon tlie co mantling General for a whole or a part of t . oriuy III? 2. That there will bn no appnrent occasi i of for the presunco of the troops at Provo. des- 3. That if a reccuo of the prisoners in ci um_ tody had been attempted, it was the duty . the Marshal, and not of the Judge, to eumni !re(1 the force which might be necessary to prev< feat- it. and 4. That the troops ought to have been m jjTe to Provo without the concurrence of the G< trnor, nor kept there againat his remonstrnn 6. That the disregard of these principh-s n rules of action h is bi-eu iu many ways cxtrei i. of ]y unfortunate.
