Mira an arra of astir ea et Parris cern br DU UAW Si 12/. Lars rd Mails SPEECH OF M. TRIERS ON FREE TRADE. The following is the translation of M. Thiers's speech referred to by our Paris Correspondent : M. Thiers began his oration by acknowledging the grott oes' of this quietism, which artated the whole world at this moment, and interested 4 ranee as much as any which could possibly be stirred. He felt that to go into so spa cious and deep a subject with any fruit, so as to leave no Mature vague and obscure, he should have need of ths As sembly's patience. For thirty years he had never varied upon this question, and he had been convinced by attentive stashes and scrupulous observation of facts that France owed her peosperity to the system which she bad followed. M. St. Beare had deeply impressed the elms bor. at the clone of his speech, by stating that batman 1830 and 1850 the exports of England hat dimseasiod bon 38 minims sterling to 70 millions. Let that beware how they attributed m a nonsasontal pansy wing was UN of oat of peace. France had also been at peace during that period, and what was the result? Why, that she had more than doubled her exports. The figures were official. In 1830 the exports amounted to 462 millions of francs. In 1819 they were 1,032 millions. (Sensation.) The system which he defended was not therefore so bad. if they were to take this criterion the English system was condemned ; for England had not doubled her exports in the same period. They were told continually to imitate the grand experiment made in England. But before an experiment was imitated it would tw wise to wait and see if it were successful. Time had nut yet given sentence upon the English experiment. t'pon several points the superiority of England was ineontestable before the trial began. Upon thaw points in which she poweesacel no superiority, the trial had proved ruinous. It had caused enlightened men to question, nut the genius of Sir It. Peel, but his prudence. lle should be the must ungrateful of men if from that tri bune he uttered a word of anything but the deepest respect for that great statesman, who in the English parliament had applied to him (M. Thiess) expressions, of which he would only say that he would fain hare deserved such. But there was not a man of common sense that did not admit that Peel had been precipitate, and had exposed his country to revere trials by the boldness of his reforms. But if they were to imitate the grind experiinent they must find see what parts of it were applicable to France, sad what were totally inapplicable in this country. In England the direct taxes were of small amount compared to the produce of the Customs duties and Excise. The Customs duties amounted in French money to :49 millions, the Excise to 3.50 mil lions, which gave 900 millions of taxes upon objects of consumption, imported or raised at home. Well : the direct taxes amounted to only 100 millions. Stamps, post-office, and some secesorics carried the revenue to 1,300 millions of kenos It France, on the other hand, the direct and indirect taxes were halaucsal. Both amounted to 4.50 millions. This was the characteristic difference between the two countries, and their budgets. During the war what had been done in England ? 'faxes had been heaped upon every sort of article of consumption. When peace was re , established, the natural course was what had been done in France, to take them off again. The task begun by Hus kisson was continued by Grey, and consummated by Peel. In England not only foreign raw material of a kind which was produced at home was to ed, but foreign raw material, of a kind which could not be raised in the country. Well; by the redaction of the proportion of indirect taxation a deficit had been created, which had necessitated the impo sition of the income tax. Was France to imitate England? Why England hail imitated France, and even fallen far short of the original. Never in any French Assembly held since 1789, nor in the Council of State, which is charged to watch over the municipal taxation, had a single tax been permitted to be imposed upon articles of consumption or upon raw materials nut produced in the country; but only upon such objects as, being raised at home, required protec tioo. What France had done in one day by her explosion! of 1789, England had performed silently, gradually, pscifi- ' rally. Thus the gap made by reducing the indirect taxes had been filled by increasing the direct, as had already been duuc in France. Bat what sort of direct tax had been established ? The income tax, already grown insup portable by the arbitrary and inequitable nature of its dis tribution. Thus the direct taxes had been increased from 100 millions of fronts to 210 millions. while the indirect taxes were 900 millions. It was a step no doubt in the right direction ; but greatly behind France, which had reached a complete balance between her direct and indirect taxation. Here H Thiers glorified the revolution in terms which being aimed too clearly to tickle the ears of the left, raised more murmur , than applause in that quar ter. The first part of the great modern commer cial reforms of England, he continued, was, there fore, copied from France. As for the second part, namely, free trade, God forbid that France should ever copy that from England. To justify his protest he would par in review the leading trades. First facts, and then theory. All is protected iu France ; but, according to M. Bt. Deuve, not equally protected. Nothing was more diffi cult to ascertain than the amount of protection accorded to any industry. But he would pmve that agriculture, which M. St. Beare instanced as being less protected than other interests, was more so than any. In naming the sissies of productions which were protected, Al. Thiers was reminded of wine. Wines. he said, were very proud, and thought they could do without protection. Now he, who thought his country not only equal, but superior to her neighbours, —(murmurs)—and whom no one would of under ratino her superiority in wines, was of a =t. opinion, and was satisfied that the progress of Spar sad Italy in this branch of commerce rendered proteetbso necessary ba France. He would begin with corn. is ssinlitting the corn duties, the remunerating prise el sera bed been reckoned at 241. the hectolitre. The ,Issw of the south were contracted ups* tIM sumo sition that 20f. was the average price ; in the north 18f. was shimmed as the mean. The sliding wale mast that the duty was increased 2f. per hectolitre for every franc which corn fell below 24f. Now the price of corn in the district of Marseilles was at present I.lf. per hectolitre. COllllO- l oe t t i ly the duty (being sera at 21f.) wanwanlBl. The best Odessa wheat could be landed at Marseilles at 13f. Here, therefore, was an industry which had a duty of 18f. to pro test it on a cost price of 13f.—s protective duty of 160 par twat. Was he not right in saying that agrkWtars was one of the most protected branches of industry in Francis ? Bat W. ft Beare said there was no diding scale for iron ; and that the iron manufacturers went allowed to raise their meats without limitation. Whrwas there a eliding seeks for earw, sad mete for iron ? He would make that clear. Mrs bees • eneeession of bad harvests you cannot at a Emaints Wks double or triple the production of corn ; beemelles Oglansion of its cultivation is extremely slow. Os tis eihribrid, when there was • call for iron, its prodallia oda be multiplied as fest as you please. For instamen. et the dew of the great railway develo= in two riga*, der of smelting furnaces i% had beam mat thedied. In 1844 there were 38, is 15.4 Si. Tbe beesemes wee that iron became nearly as cheap as is Isghsed. - Tim he the case of manufactures a year of 11111111ity was Mar Mowed by a year of plenty ; but in SIN& it was dee wrewes, became a bad year was generally soyam by abed peer. But M. St. Beuve says that corn leftism desswet west protection, that the French gum= and set her the eweepstition of Odessa. This is jest whet 1 the bewdrehere said la England. But what had how the fact. He was in England a week ago, and be Ihrimi that the price or corn one month :ago was Ms. the taster; while the leases had been contracted on the suppwitwa a 565. being the remunerative pries. It was asserbess that agriculture had lost 30 per cent. in England. Thirty-eight shillings the quarter corresponded to 16f. the hectolitre. But there was one circumstance in England which had facilitated the abolition of the eons laws. It was •question of aristocracy and democracy. There the pro prkton of the soil were immensely rich, and the fanners was opulent. But if you took from the proprietors of the sell is France, would you be taking fye' the rich r Femme the soil belonged Mall ; and .- agristaltarei ruin sa i all. e l i O But w , to show tr, 411; el te lJ hum how a. lax andreef. ?

Those able aa treen change the face of things. What would tea ireere of the country that was o' lilted to cover the ma sir ads to get her food ? Why, in time of war, the price et bread would be doubled. So well was this known, that }set de were retarning to the culture of corn, sad converting tracts of pasture into arable. For England, who loved to call herself mistress of the seas, just as France loved to talk of Marengo and Austerlitz—and national vanity was as grand in a nation as in an in dividual it was aboard—for England, such • dependence on forelga therm kr her nourishment might paw ; but for France, sarylees France, to fetch the third of her food from the hanks of the Mississippi or Volga, why they would be • nation of madmen, children—there was no name fee mash telly—to dream of such a thin. remi s e beak mall eat be delivered from the Whim IMF • eta apish, er he would speak of other beendras ef &wiry with the same detail.

Of these cereals represented kali asilliaae ; cattle , whether as butchers' meat, hides, or wool, repeerated 1,400 millions ; pastures, 600 millions.

Henriot how be weer like the duty ma woollen goods to be abolished. For the rest the bets simaseed by AL llenriot had beta eontradietid by the emaoil.general and the chamber of commerce. The opinions of another manufacturer, M. Jean Dollfus, had been much pet forward. M. Dollfus was a calico printer, who wanted to get white calico free of duty. That wee weasel oneugh. (Laughter.) In speaking of - wood be blared the minister of finance for supporting liberty of cutting timber. The state in return for the protection which it accorded to the home grower against foreign timber, had a right to demand sacrifices from the owner of forests in favour of the navy. lie then quoted Montesquieu, whom he maintained to be an incomparably superior economist to Adam Smith, to prove that what was restriction for the trade was an advantage fur trade. Well, the 7.000 millions of agricultural produce were completely protected in France. There remained 1,000 millions of mixed and 4,000 millions of industrial produce. lie next spoke of coal. It was called the arm of peace. Let them remember it was also the arm of war. They paid dearer for their coal than the English, certainly ; but the foreign competition was far inure serious in this branch than in corn. Out of 51 millions of hecto litres consumed in France 30 millions were English or Bel gian coals. The average price on the spot of production was from 70 to 80 centimes: the average price paid by the consumer 2f. The reason of the greater dearness than in England lay chiefly in the defective means of transport here, which caused an increase of 75 per cent. on the sale price. M. Thiers then traced the variation of the price of coal in different parts of France, and observed that during the last 18 years the price of ced had been reduced by one half. English coal, at present, arrives at Nantes, Boileau:, Dieppe, and other porta. Effect the slightest change iu your tariffs, and you will see English coal at sncc reaching Tours, l'aris, and other large towns. French coal will be extracted from the pits in smaller quantities, and the mining population, so difficult to be formed, will be rapidly dispersed. If you have a war you will be obliged to procure coal from Belgium, who will not be able perhaps to furnish all that you want, or, if she does, will make you pay dear for it. Again, with respect to iron, I could de monstrate to you easily that since protection as sheltered it, the trade leis made such progress, the price being dimi nished from 52fr. to 22fr. the quiutul, that there is but a very slight difference at present between the French price and that of Eugland. In fact, the difference between the price of iron in the two countries is only from Ur. 50e. to 21r. 60c. the quintal, and that difference is caused by the difficulty of the transport. (Cheers.) The hon. gentle man then briefly remarked on the improvement which hail taken place in the commercial situation of France since the revolution of February, and added: I can very well conceive that when& people has a small territory like that of the three British Wanda . , it should feel the greatest anxiety to have foreign markets opened to it ; but when a country has a market like France, it ought to endeavour to keep it to itself, and then give what is not wanted to others, if auy such remainder there should happe n . to be. Slaughter.) Just see what progress France is making. In 1,86 she pro- dated from 15 to 20 millions of cotton thread or twist—at present she produces 700 millions. (Movement.) Ten years back she produced 30 =Wiens of kilogrammes of cotton cloths, whilst at present the amount was 65 millions, the price for the one quantity being the same as for the other, whien proves how much wages had fallen. The hon. gen tleman then proceeded to argue that a reduction in the duty on iron would not be of any great advan tage to agriculture, looking at the quantity which it employed. As to cotton, the case would he the same ; French cotton cost 30 per rent. more than English cotton; if the protective duty, which only entered into th,.. figure for 6 per cent., were suppressed, there would still remain 24 per cent. in favour of England. What, then, caused that difference of price ? This circumstance—that England produced by immense masses, which lessened the price of manufacture, at the same time that her means of transport were more perfect. Suppose that that duty of 6 per tent. were suppressed, what great advantage would it be to the French consumer ? (Movement.) As to navigation, continued M. Thiers, M. Ste. Beuve has spoken of what took piece under the Restoration. I have always remarked that, when an experiment does not succeed, the fault is invariably laid on those who commenced it. It is thus that the treaties of 1826 and 1827 are blamed, whereas I con. shier that they ought to be approved of, (or we were in the end forced to accept the equality of flag with the United States. How was tat? B ec ause when a nation lays • tax on matters at home, it can do so with impunity ; but whom it imposes • duty on foreign veseels, the country to whir they belong will retaliate. France long played at WM with the United Sates, but in the end was erred to yield. The Americans constructed vessels of LON tens; Havre, piqued at the superiority attributed to the Americans for so doing, also built vessels of 1,000 tons, bat maid sly dad freight for JOS m 400 toes : the Ameri cans, who hail plenty of erre te send to Europe, began by Err their awn - Werra, mid the ve the rest as freight to wars. I arm. der rat the of goods depends on ciremeadMelle gale of wide, ofteu on mere lead and prelim eisenersese. • great nation cannot mesa It depend en redo pewee far its daily supplies ; we cannot look to *than for our iron, coals, and tissues. The hon. gentleman here entered into an examination of the theory of lisissesfoins. He examined what had taken plate in England under Henry VIII., and reminded the chamber that woollens produced at th at period in England were sent to Flanders, where they were spun and sent back in a manufactured state. What was the conduct adopted by Henry VIII. ? He levied a heavy duty on Flemish manufactures, and forced the English to manufleture for themselves. Every one now knows how they manufacture cloths. That was what the wicked Henry VIII. did; and if that bad been all he did, I would not apply the term wicked to him. (Laughter.) H. Thies then alluded to the cotton manufactures which England had borrowed from India; to the policy of William 111., in whose reign the old spinning-wheel was replaced by more complicated contrivances. As soon as they bad conquered Inds* they no longer prohibited Indian cottons, but placed a duty of 76 per cent. on them. This English people, be continued in a tone of iron had con ceived a nether whim, which was to make si lk manufac tures • and although they had not quite succeeded, Lyons was already alarmed at their progresa. He then traced the birth and progress of the English iron trade with Sweden. In 1829 they had a duty of Wt. the quintal on iron, while the French duty was only 26f. It was not free trade which had done so much for the superiority of England,but a system of stern protection, which had been only relaxed when the superiority had been attained. He then traced the English breed of horses to the poor Flanders mare, the fat Norman hone, crossed with Arab stallions, showing . . . . . and .. wee not In that way s. industries of France harl keen born and reared. 'Those giddy kinp of France, as Machiavelli called them, were not blind an their travels in Italy ; and Francis I. and Henri IV. had irought home the mulberry-tree to plant in the While Louis was humbling Spain, rltr a was i conquering clothe, and making Abbeville tam= Ike its webs. Lace was not taken from the and Venetians by laiaaez-faire, but a woman was set up with workmen, money and privi leges to produce specimens within a given time. When the glasses of Venice had to be surpassed, workmen were fetched from the Adriatic capital, and furnished with means, honours, and privileges. Under the Revolution and the Empire English manufactures were burned. That was the way to originate something solid sad grand, not by laissez-faire. Ho then turned to the Left, and told them that he was quite as democratic as they were, only with a greater s pice of philosophy. Ho was not going to counsel them to indulge that magnificent patronage of the old kings, who cultivated France as if she were their garden—aid cultivated it very well, too, sometimes. He was not going to advise them to furnish industries with capital, or to burn foreign goods. Of course their tariff was not to be eternal, he knew that very well. Prohibitive duties must be re placed by high protective duties, and high protec tive duties hy moderate. But there must be an in terest for making these changes. lie would instance the linen trade, which France had been on the point of losing. A duty of 5 per cent. was first established ; that was found to be insufficient, and it was afterwards increased to 10, 15, and 25 per cent., and the result was that 100 mil lions were saved to the country. Such was the result of protection. I now come to my last argument; the example of England and of America. We have the Exhibition of London to form a comparison as to the strength of nations. The Exhibition of London, that noble and grand imitation of France. England there takes the lead, through her spe ciality, in a great portion of her manufactures. She has nothing to tear for iron, coak or cotton. Masters of markets for their productions, the nglish have been led to believe that in all other respects they could support free trade. It has not been the "ante with corn ; that war only brought about by • political pressure. 'the aris tocracy, however, knew how to make sacrifices, for that body is essentially liberal ; it is the mother and the guardian of liberty in England; and I think that if the aristocracy of England were to perish, liberty would fall with it. (Agitatioe.) I think Ido you honour, gentlemen of the Left, in saying this, for it proves that you can bear the truth ; and the truth is, that the English aristocracy is ementially liberal, and that if we do nut commit very serious faults we are sure of having England as a friend and a support under circumstances which I foresee, but which I hope never to sea take place in Europe. ( Re newed agita tion.) lam not at all deceived as to the result of free trade in corn in England. God grant that the English 'wo r d° mal ze remain calm before th e eventualities of the ivi. I that a will sad bura.wmad not. however, w to intrace into France what I sounder t 6 have been an imprudence in England, in spite of all which it may supportwith the speciality of its manufactures. I will now say a few wordson French manufactures. Their chareeteris ties are universality and perfection. In manufactures we are the masters. Compare the productions of France with those of England, Germany, Italy, and Spain, and you will see that you have all which those nations have toge ther, while they have nut what you possess. You are en dowc.l with great intelligence, and are assisted by the aid of m a ... Misery. Formerly the glory acquired b y our armies made us: forget our unfortunate politics ; now, it is our ma nufactur es which take the lead. Our workmen out of doors are noisy and ungovernable ; in their workshops, with th e i r t oo l s in Ikea hands, they are perfect. We have an export t ra d e almost ea good as that of England. We sell at a higher p.ies, but we sell good articles, such as excite the admiration of Europe. In articles of luxury, there is no country that can compete with us. Does this perfection canoe the living of the working-classes to be dearer here than elsewhere ? ;11 order to ascertain that fact, I have my self visited the diffeivat shops in London and in Paris. In London, bread of the first quality is sold 60c. the two pound loaf in France it is ‘ nly 26c. Meat of the first quality in London costs 17 seas, in' France 16 sous, the second quality 1.5 sous and 12 sous le spoctivcly, and the third . quality 9 sous and 7 sous. With .-egard to clothing, calico in Lon don costs 92 centimes the m in Paris only 9 0 e. The making of a shirt in London costs 3 f. 7 5 e., in Paris it is better made for 3f. You will, perhaps, ask me why this calico, which is made in such Likste quantities in England, is sold at such a high price-to the English people ? That C. 1.11 be readily explained. As the Euglish manufacturers produce large quantities they cannot become dealers, and the article therefore passes through sesieral hands before it conies into those of thc consumer. la yrance such is not the cast the manufacturer is all* the dialer. I am far from wishing to foretell a disastrous dentin; for Elan d, but I say that she requires to be very p ow srful • Suppose, however, that any change should take place in her political position, what would become of thit influence abroad? I prefer, for my part, a good exist once at home. (Hear, hear.) In America they . now make for 24e. what costs the English 29e. America is also be coming acquainted with manufactures on a lame scale. With regard to France, she has her market secured to her, we do not depend on a reaction in favour of cheap articles. I should be very proud to be an Englishman, but I am not unhappy at being a Frenchman. (Approving laughter.) Two great nations are now entering on a manufacturing career—America and Russia . one has a democratic and the other a despotic form of government. Both are making rapid strides. The Americans have good reasons for advo cating the system of free trade. They have all they require fur fool and clothing. But if Washington were to return an earth, what advice would he give his fellow-country men?

Russia desires to make cotton cloths, because she wants to trade in them with China, her design being to transport them there in cara vans. The Russians are perfectly right, for every nation ought to do as much as is in its own power. At first, the experiment will cost deer, but with time and pa tience the article will become cheap. Look on the map at the spot which we occupy : what is it in comparison with the rest of the world ? l'rovidence has given to China and India, silk ; to America, cotton ;to Arabia, the horse. But Providence has given soma aiug superior to all these things to the temperate zone—namely, man. (Hear.) Man, so created superior, exercises his intelligence, and after bring ing to perfection the goods which he receives from these distant climes, sends them back to the populations which gave them. It is, I say, the design of God which you blaspheme in proposing to confide to chance this great and noble civilisation. 1 protest in the name of my country against such a doctrine. and I recommend it to persevere in the admirable sentiments of its policy and its tradition.

Cauly were charged with having committed a robbery at the branch establishment of the London and Westminster Dank, St. James's-square. The prisoner Tyler, who is a returned transport, referred to elsewhere, refused to give his address ; and Canty stated that he was a " gentleman," living at 66, Commercial-mad, Lambeth. Mr. Lewis, solicitor, of Ely-place, said he attended on behalf of the directors of the London sad Westminster Bank. The circumstances of the case were very brief, and he should therefore pray for their commitment on the pre sent charge. The learned gentleman then described the manner in which the robbertiwas committed and the means adopted fee the apprehension of the prisoners, and then called in evidence, Inspector Lund, detective force, who gave evidence the same in substance as that contained in the account given elsewhere, produced the box and bag referred to. The former a rather large-sized cash-box, and the latter an ordinary blue hag. &want Whisker corroborated the evidence of the pre- till Friday heir. THE GREAT FIRE AT LONDON-BRIDGE. CORONER'S INQUEST. This forenoon, at eleven o'oclock, Mr. William Payne opened en inquiry at the Bridge-house Hotel, Wellington-street, London-bridge, for the purpose of in vestigating the origin of the late conflagration in Montague- Clow, Southwark. Mr. Alderman Humphery was present. William Snooks, a surveyor, of Tooley-street, having scribed the building, said he first heard of the fire at his office, about four o'clock on Monday afternoon last. When he reached Montague-close the eastern or A warehouse was in flames, which were raging on the first and second floors. The flames increased upwards, and part of the Bridge hones hotel had ignited. The adjoining warehouse, B, subsequently caught fire from the flames of ware house A, no doubt caused by the high wind which was raging at the time. The parapet between the warehouses was about eighteen inches to twe feet. The recent act of parliament required them to be three feet high, but Alderman Humphery was about to have them made six feet high. The Ire when witness left seemed confined to the A and B warehouses, but, when he returned in half an hour afterwards, witness heard a fresh alarm of fire at the western end of the range of buildings. Flames were then issuing from the windows on the north-west side of warehouse D. Immediately afterwards flames were seen coming from the north front windows. lie could not ac count for the cause of the fire. E. Bimodal°, of No. 1, Vine-yard, Tooley-street, stated that he was a wine porter. On Monday afternoon he wee walking along Montague-close on his way home, when het saw a man standing at the front of the western warehouse, , who was shouting out " Fire." A man named Eaton ran to Tooley-street for the engines, and witness called for as- t sistance. The warehouse A was then on fire, and the flames wen spreading rapidly. Witness then went to assist Mr. Waterman on the third floor of warehouse C. Yr. T. H. Edge, a clerk to Messrs. Wilson and Kings ' ford, said that at the time of the outbreak of the fire ho was talking to a gentleman near the Tooley-strect archway, ' when he had his attention directed to a man running very ;art towards the church, and directly afterwards another man ran in the direction of the Borough-market. Witness • thought they had stolen something, for he was nut then t aware of the fire. Witness then went into Montague-close, when he saw dames 'stint at the staircase on the ground door. It wee then his opinion that the men he had seen were mine thecae's's. Witness went into Mr. lament's ware user ,abdtd. the Bridge-house Hotel, and then he could see a fire through the open partition on the ground door. The damn then reached the tint door, and then blazed up most furiously. He could not give the cause of the tire, but he certainly had seen a bad practice with the labouring men while they were waiting for employment. Witness had seen them knocking out the contents of their pipes on the window sills, and then it would full down the iron gratings. On this occasion witness bad found the tire did not commence in the cellars. R. Welch, a warehouseman to Alderman Humphrey, was being examined when the report left. . ceding witness, and added, that when the prisoners were searched at Scotland-yard, he found a written paper under the scat on which Tyler was sitting, of whdch the follow- ing is a copy :—" To inquire if any cash has been paid into the brarlnsmnd Wectaumtor Bank by the Marytis of An- i te the ket- a on appeared?' on ecardon them, to be- known to each other. - Vile 4 , the branch bank in St. Janmes- sod who the premises, identified the box contents, been placed in it purposely for ng detection; to make the box weighty, as if 'ng gold.

Fine weather has had its usual influence on the torn trade ; and notwithstanding the supply of English Wheat was only moderate, a d cline of Is. to 2s. per qr. had to be submitted to before progress could be made in tastes. In foreign Wheat but few transactions took place, although sellers would have been willing to submit to a like decline to make progress from ship board. Choice qualities of Flour supported late rates ; secondary and inferior were rather easier to Purchase. Barley, Beans, and Peas, were firm at last Monday's quo- tations. The receipts of Oats have been large, nevertheless the rates of Monday last were well supported, with a steady trade. -- ---- BRITISH Slailliags per Qr.

THIS DAY. Two o'CLoci. The share market opened with a im proving tendency, and the prices of business in nearly every instance show an advance, in some cases to a considerable extent. Some little reaction has supervened since the retrograde movement of Consols, but prices generally are stall a good deal higher than they left oil on Saturday, and the prospects of the market must be reported as good. A fair amount of business has offered in the course of the day. 1111 ARES ANID 11C0.31C11 UNGUARANTEED.

The English stock market has not undergone any essential change sinoe last week, the confidence of dealers in the firmness of prices being unabated, but a little reaction, which was naturally to be looked for after the recent marked rise is observable, and prices have receded The trans- actions have been upon a moderate scale. II continues easy, and with the resumption of rattlleslltbs tomorrow by the government broker, quotations will probably resume their upward tendency. Consols have receded from 97,1 to-, at which they opened, to 97 to k ex div., for the 17th July. The official list of business embraces :—Three per Cent. Consols, for the opening, 971, 1; Three per Cent. Reduced, 971, 1; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, 2, ; Long Annuities, 1880, 71; ditto 30 years, 1869, 7 3-16. Bank Stock, 213 i. The unfunded securities continue firm, and Exche quer Bills meet with a fair share of business. All classes of bills have been dealt in at 451. to 48s. prem., whilst India Bonds, 1,0001., mark 58s. prem. The foreign stock market is again very quiet, ar the only change in price is an improvement in S nish, the Active Bonds having Portuguese stooks are firm.

According to a memorial ad dressed by the Board of Public Credit in Mexico to the chairman of the bondholders, the fault lies entirely with the British vessels on the station, and the object of the authorities is to urge upon the bondholders that they should do all in their power to induce the English government " to take some decisive step to prevent the commwaders of her • Majesty's ships from continuing to protect a traffic so degrading to their rank and the spirit of their service." The discount market remains as last reported. Money is easy, and there has been no extraneous de mand this account for Stock Exchange purposes. In the course of next week a large mass of small bills from provincial dealers fall due, but this cir cumstance, at the present period, excites little atten tion.

From almost every county in Ireland we have received agricultural reports since our last, all of which are of the most encouraging character. It is a fact, as remarkable us it must prove gratifying, that a single unfavourable statement does not appear in those accounts, and that there is not a rumour about the re-appearance of the blight in the potato crop— much the largest that bas been planted since 1846. The farmer could not wish for more favourable weather than that which we now enjoy, under the influence of which all the products of the earth are progressing most auspiciouoy, affording the prospect of a very abundant harvest. We have long suffered in all our vital interests from deficient crops ; and it is only, through the blessing of Prevalence, in successive seasons of pl en ty, that wa can hope for the effectual recovery of the country.—Dublin Emma?
