Wang a deputation of the West Indian pro prietary recently wawa On Lord PALMEASTON to advocate aa extoarive plan of what they were pleased to term " true emigration" from the Coast of Africa to their rotates in the West Indies. they endeavoured to excite the Permian into the adoption of that plan by suggesting that France would be beforehand with England if the British Oovernment did not go into the 'enterprise at once. In this suggestion the deputation did not, if re port speaks truly, err. The French Government have, it is stated, entered into a contrast with a commercial house at Marseilles, which has been long engaged in the West African trade, for the introduction of 20,000 free negroes from that coast into their West ladies Islands, and the first vowel ' of the contracting merehasb has.it is added , already telt Marseilles he the port of Wbydah.

Ono Abet of high prices has been the revival of the Move Trade in Cabs. Another malt is to be bend in these English, Frenth, and Spanish schemes, IS NMI% loader the mane et free emigration, large bediseef sgross from the west coast of Africa to the Bagliek, French, and Spanish sugar islands. To apply the appellation of free to any such emi gration is the serest delusion in the world. There is a free emigration from this country to the United States and Canada, as there is from Germany, Italy, and Portugal, to South as well as to North America; and this emigration is free, because in Europe labour is every where free, because the emigrants are suffi ciently intelligent to know whit they are about, because they have reasonable prospects of improving their own condition, Scats they are working out what they deem their own happiness by their own means, because no undue stimulus or temptations are allowed to be applied to them. But even in the esseof free emigration from the United Kingdom, safe guards, protection, stringent laws are thrown round it; and in spite of legislation great abuses have attended it. But on the West Coast of Africa there is no cor responding class, no corresponding intelligence, no corresponding means, no corresponding inducement, and there can be no corresponding protection. There is no identity of circumstances, and, is the English sense of the words, there can be no free emigration. It is either a delusion or an imposition to speak of such a thing. Experience has proved that along the whole coast there is but one class which will voluntarily leave their country. That clam are the Becomes, who seek service in our shipping in order that they may save a little money, return to their own country, and purchase an additional slave in the shape of a wife. Beyond and out of the Brno east there newer has been any disposition on the pert of the Degrees even temporarily to leave Africa. We will not dismiss the question whether Chris tendom ought, bemuse sugar has ?nen, to attempt to deport tens of thousands of Africans under any appellation to its sugar fields in the Antilles, or how far the nineteenth century in doing so would differ from the sixteenth, which in earrying negroes to St. Domingo and Brasil deluded itself into the belief that it was engaged in a missionary enterprise, and convey ing the unhappy Africans from paganism and misery hiCluistianity and happiness.

Except in the English and perhaps in the French settlements on the West Coast of Arrive, the labour of the coast is all more or lee Slave labser. Not the cruel, demoralising, brutal labour of the asionies of Christian states ; not slavery directed to on, sole selfish purpose—the production of a single article of large foreign demand ; but a slavery suited to the condition and status of African society, where the slave and the master live on terms of comparative equality, ars of kindred tastes, habits, intelligeout &adore occupied in the same 11TOCIIii01111. SIAM, of this kind's in short the form of labour in Western Africa, and although it is different in nearly every other quality and consequence from Asia Slavery, it has this common feature, that the SIM is valuable to his master. Now such beteg the &se dition of labour in Western Africa, whence is this free emigration to come from ? When Mr. Bruise, of Trinidad, ten at twelve years ago, first proposed that our West Indian Colonies should obtain supplies of labour from West Africa, that able man did not shirk this difficulty. He boldly advocated that these bondsmen should be purchased in Africa, and he justified the punchiee there by contending that it would confer freedom on the Africans in the West Indies. Does the deputa tion which lately waited on Lord Psnuesurros adopt this suggestion of Mr. Buaene—does it pro pose to buy negroes in Africa in order that it may release them in Jamaica? Let us understand what the proposition really means and involves. Their great advocate tells us that while " raw Africans" are worth 1301. a-piece in Cabs, they can be had for 71. 10s. a-bead on the coast. There has then, It would seem, been some calculation as to prior. But if a single dollar has to be paid for emigrants on the coast, what becomes of free emigration ? Consider, too, where it is that the Marseilles house seeks to thlfil its contract with the French Government. It is at Whydah. Why, Whydah is the port whence the King of Deuoue used to ex port his slaves; it was one of the greatest slave ports on the coast ; it was a place defiled with iniquity. 'rho old machinery is of course in the asighbourhomt,do old spirit hovers about the place. The Om of aggress may have fallen, but not se I kw SS 111 lea to the free emigration el a isle seem Consider, too, the state generally of the West amt. Its trade is increasing with a rapidity deed unparalleled. Not so much in the settle. meets of European powers, as in the old limb cl the Stave Trade. The price of the great Afrisem eyed, palm-oil, has risen almost es much as do yam at sugar. The ton, which a few years back was lordly worth 301., is now in demand at 401. 0. these high prices the negro is prospering, is big stimulated to greater industry at home. A larger field is gradually opening for his labour in Africa itself. Already the commerce of West Africa with this country alone is worth 2,000,0001. a year ; and its trade with the United States is also growing into great importance. It is this growing trade which has tended far more then cruisers or treaties to repress the Slave Trade ; before it the exportation of human beings in gradually ceasing. And not one of the least /IF midable objections to the present West Indies p► position is that it would place in jeopardy this ad neatly beneficial commerce which is doing so Mei for Western Africa. To our view the pumpaillsa only a new phase of that West Indian wifithanas which formerly restricted the use of saw in England to keep up its price, and which would now attempt to disturb Africa to augment its supply. eg 1!. gold troporbed t■ bought the leading markets, ter without foamy et seams not an ounce of silver mid be trued freer its present depository. Indeed, in oar °phase, this state of things tarnishes the principal else ea the activity of the current demand for money. limay pinces are perplexed at remarking that althongl; issue tion in the Bank rate of discount usually brings forward many eager lenders of money, who are afraid of 0 losing their market," and although there are symptoms of a lees active state of trade in the manufacturing districts, and in other channels, yet the demand for money at the reduced rates now established seems almost as urgent as ever. The activity of the trade in bullion goes far to account for this feature; and there is strong ground for believing that so long as the silver drain continues thus severe, the tendency to wards lower rates of discount mutt be kept in check. And here arises the question—how far will the dis astrous news just received from India tend to stimu late the efflux of silver? It is evident that the belief in a permanent reduc tion of the rate of discount below 6 per cent. is gaining ground, but wo would point out that the realisation of the hope of a permanently easier money market must be contingent upon the securing of a good harvest, the praseects of which are at present unusually promising. To overrate the importance of this point is scarcely pas sible, for it is not too much to 'ay that upon the malt of the harvest mainly depends general prosperity or privation, a high rate of discount or a moderate one. Should the earnest aspirations of the flatten in this respect be realised, it will require a serious combination of adverse Miami= to maintain the valve of money at the exceptionally high point witnessed of late. Should both the harvest prove abundant, and the drain of silver lo the East be mitigated, it is reasonable to infer that the money market will be materially affected. It follows from these considerations that the public must narrowly watch the commercial features of the day, if they wish to arrive at a reliable idea of what the future may bring forth. Thv must watch the monetary &deices from the East, for a falling off in the demand for silver would be productive of an immediate and most favourable effect. They must watch the progress of the European crop of silk, as its result will greatly affect the price of that article, and proportionately deter mine the extent of the remittances of silver for the purchase of Chinese produce. The harvest must continue a matter of paramount interest, not only here but throughout the Continent and in the United States, for were we blessed with abundance, and oar neighbours attlicted with scarcity, the prices of the necessaries of life here would not be regulated so much by our plenty as by their necessities. it is also requisite to keep a vigilant eye upon the movements of joint stock spe culation here, and more especially on the Conti- nent. If Europe undertake more public works than she can readily execute, the consequence— disturbance of the money market—is inevitable; but more particularly, if one or two members of the family of European stater—say England and France—undertake to construct within a dis proportionately limited period an inordinately large number of public works, whether rail ways, docks, or mine', or enter into any other engagements leading to an undue diver sion of capital to foreign parts, especial inconve nience must ensue. From this brief glance it will be obvious that several events yet in the womb of the future must result happily, and several unfavourable features now in existence must be materially alle viated, before we can look for • permanently sexy money market. Indeed, having in view the impor tance of the demands, especially those of foreign origin, which thre►ten to come upon the market in the event of its assuming an easier appearance, cheap money seems a luxury not to be reasonably expected for a long time to come. DualNo a period of more than six months the Bank of England minimum rate of discount has varied only from 61 to 6 per cent. During the last two months and a half the higher rate has been current, bat on Thursday, the 18th inst., a reduction to 6 per amt. took place. In all mercantile circles discussions are now going on as to the probability of a further decline; and the opinions expressed vary con siderably. Now, all recent experience illustrates in the strongest manner the folly of attempting to peophesy respecting the future of the Money Market. The calculations of the most sober and clear-headed authorities have of late been repeatedly overthrown by a series of unexpected circumstances ; and men who used to have the reputation of reading" the market with peculiar accuracy, now candidly coulees that extreme caution in forming con dogma is the chief result to which they have as yet attained. We disclaim any attempt to step in where so many men of practical judgment are afraid of com mitting themselves. Still. however, there are certain general deductions strongly borne out by the facts now witnessed, and a consideration of these may afford some guidance. That the resources of the Bank of England are YESTERDAY Hyde-park witnessed probably the last ceremony designed to do honour to the soldiers of the Crimea. This closing scene of the great war was worthy of the exploits it commemorated and the valourit rewarded. Though we sympathise with those unfortunate enthusiasts who, starting at seven o'clock, reached the ground at half-past seven, and stood broiling upon the blank boards from that hour till twelve, and though we think that some provision might easily have been made in order to provide seats for the ladies and children who crowded into llyde-park, still no one who was present will regret that he sacrificed yesterday morning to witness such a spectacle. The weather, though the heat was somewhat oppressive, was magnificent. There was something grand in the vast open space of green sward encircled with the 10,000 spectators in their various costumes who filled the wooden plat forms ; nor was the picturesque effect diminished • - by the princely houses of Parit-lane crowded to the roofs with anxious and eager tenants. It is need less to describe the effect of the long line—composed rapidly increasing is evident upon the face of the returns: the reserve of notes has now reached 6,107,8061., and the stock of coin and bullion, 11,172,8621. Owing to the position of the exchanges, and to the diminished bullion requirements of the Continent, there is also a prospect that the Bank will receive a considerable portion of the gold im ported, from week to week, from Australia and America. The Bank of France has likewise ac quired a large accession of bullion, and has thus been enabled to reduce the premium on gold by one-third. As yet, we have not heard of any very serious inconvenience having resulted to the institution from this step; although when it ventured upon a similar measure in Alt:it last, it was soon subjected to a serious drain. It may be reason ably inferred that, with every wish to promote the views of the Government, the Council would not have adopted their more recent resolution, reducing the rate for commercial bills from 0 to 61 per cent., unless there were a fair prospect of an easier state of things. AU these frets tend to encourage a belief that the value of money will decline further, as was the case at the corresponding period of last year. The chief adverse feature at present in operation ton the money market is undoubtedly the unpre 'Anted proportions attained by the drain of silver W the East. It must not be forgotten that this class se commercial business result* in profits probably superior to those presented in most other branches of trade, and that its prosecution consequently involves a satisfactory addition to the general wealth of the nation. Even leaving out of question the stimulus which will probably be given to trade by the accu mulation and diffusion of silver in India and other commercial regions of the East, it is by no means improbable that Great Britain may be deriving as good a profit from her trade in silver with the East as if she were engaged in similarly extensive transactions is any other article of com merce. But that this trade has a powerful tendency to keep up the value of money at home is undeni able, as any one may perceive by watching the ope rations of the parties who have brought the business into its present organised state. As the silver which Is collected in immense muses in various of cavalry, infantry, and sailors—which stretched across the spacious enclosure ; whilst in front of the main line were ranged the 62 men who were about to be decorated by the hands of the Clyne's, and for whom, in fact, the spectacle had been arranged. There wu something singu larly touching and magnificent when the guns having announced the QUEEN'S approach, the royal cortege advanced. The splendid uniforms—the superb horses—and the QUEEN herself, on a roan charger, with a scarlet jacket, her small round hat and feathers—supported on the right by Prince ALBERT and on the left by her future son-in-law, FREDERICK WILLIAM of Prussia, impressed the spec tators with a mingled feeling of national greatness and domestic happiness, with which it was impos sible not to be moved. As a mere spectacle the ceremonial of yesterday seemed to us hardly so interesting as the distribution of the same Cross which took place in St. James's park about a year ago. Now, almost every trace of the war has ceased. The wounded have had their wounds healed—have retired from the service—or have succumbed to the effects of their injuries. Some are park-keepers, some are policemen, others are embarked in various professions. But a year ago it was not so. The scars of war were still' visible. The wounds were yet bleeding. There were men, some with haggard looks--some painfully borne on crutches, and some, like Sir THOMAS TaorultinGE, wheeled to the very feet of the QuazN in Bath chairs, having lost both limbs : but yesterday all was new and gorgeous, happy and peaceful. There was no sense of perils escaped and difficulties surmounted. The whole scene was parts of Europe flow. in a continuous stream to this country, sad thaws to this Esat, and little more than a military Ascot. As the regi ments marched by her M.ut:vrr 011 horse back, there were no scorched and battered shakos—no tattered coats, no grimed and toil worn visages, to recall the moving accidents of • winter campaign. It was quite another scene from that which London witnessed when the QUEEN, from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, welcomed home her Guards, with shouts and waving handker chiefs, be. the glory and the havoc of the East. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY E'VENIING, JUNE WT, 1857. Still if the interest tat in the esewmeey yester day wu not so overwhelming, it wee by so means iesemshisrahle. Let any man read the Gamete which esheus the gallant exploits of those seen who have bola emoted with the Victoria Cron for personal velar, and he will at once acknowledge that any way which can boast of such soldiers contains meinials out of which the finest army in the world ow be formed. If anything is wanting it is not peessal bravery or physical power. Who has not heard of Sergeant Major BEI:ETNA:O With his hone shot under him he stopped in the field with Captain WEBB amidst a storm of shot and shell ; and, although told again and again by that officer to consult his own safety and leave him, he preferred to remain until, Sergeant Falser. coming to his aid, he carried Captain Wens oat of the range of the guns. Or who has not heardof Sergeant M. W n GENET, who returning after a repulse to seek for his wounded comrade, took him on his back, and brought him to a place of safety under a heavy fire? This, too, was the man who brought another wounded comrade from under fire, and dug up a slight cover with hiabayonet, where the two remained until dark, when they both retired in safety. It was for such men as these that the new Order of Valour wu created, and such men as these are surely fit recipients of the new reward. In this respect the British army needs no improvement ; what the public have to insist upon is that professional education be henceforth deemed an essential to the officers, and made as sure a pass port to promotion as conspicuous gallantry now is both to officers and men.
