ESTATES OF ENGLAND. I (Front the Dolly News.l WELIIECK ABBEY AND VICINITY. ! I said, a comparison between the rents, rates, wages, and prices of eighty years ago, when Arthur Young inspected the district from which I now write, would be given in the present communication. In doing so, let us take a view of other properties than that of (lumber, as I do not find any of the Clamber farms named by Arthur Young. Our course is to Welbeck Abbey, the seat of the venerable Duke of l Portland, who was a child, lisping to his nurse, at l that time, two-and-a-half or three years old. He is now 83, a hale, strong-minded man, venerable, and venerated by the population of his extensive estates. From Welbeck our course will be south-cast to Clip stone, in the forest, to view the water meadows; then south-west, to Mansfield; next, west and north west, to Alfreton, Chesterfield, and other parts in Derbyshire, of which Young has left a published re- cord; and then round to the north, to the border of I Yorkshire, to our point of starting. Let that be Blythe, or its vicinity. At Blythe, Arthur Young found ordinary farm land let at Ins. per acre; poor -rate, Is.; but in pa rishes around, 2s. and upward to 45.; wages, 6s. per week; mutton, beef, and pork, at an average of 31d.; butter, 3d.; cheese, 3d.; bread, Ild.; wool, 31d. per lb.; the fleece worth Is. Bd. In 1451, rent is tlos.; poor-rate, Is.; wages, los. to 135.; average, its.; mutton, beef, and pork, ( id. ; butter, d. ; cheese, 6d.; bread, I id. ; wool, is. 2d. per lb.; the fleece worth is. 6d. Going from the abbey, through the WeMeek woods, two miles or more eastward, we arrive upon a private road, leading forth by a lodge and gateway to the turnpike between Worksop and .lanstield, towns twelve miles asunder, our position being now about five miles front Worksop. Our course is to the turnpike; but let us stop a minute hero; we may meditate when in motion again on the strange mys tery of our nature. Down that grassy avenue, by thC lake side, three hundred yards or so from where we stand, close by yonder thorns at the turning, jug out of sight of this house, by a yard or two, fell Lord George Ilea unek, stricken by sudden and fatal disease in the region of the heart—October, 1418. Past this spot many persons had gone in search of him when lie was missing, yet did not, until Ide at night, lung atter he was dead, think of going yonder. It was a severe blow to his venerable father, but he bole it with a strength of mind which nobody knew to falter. 'Go on: to the left we PCP extensive kennels, the care and amusement of Lord Henry Bentiuck, who is zealously devoted to ton-hunting: the eldest brother, the Marquis of Titchfield, is more given to the amusement of shooting in stubble fields or pheasant plantations. Their venerable father employs himself en the reclamation of waste land, irrigation of mea dows, adjastment of rents to changing circumstances, and occasionally in issuing injunctions to tenants, that, whatever they do, let them not reduce working, men's wages—tlwse have been I Is. and 13s. a week —let them continue: so says the Duke of Port land. Differently engaged from her brothers is Lady Mary Bentinek. We may see her one-horsed carnage and two men servants at any one of the sevorul villages or towtts within ten miles, to which the duke's estates extend; a box in the carriage to carry goods, books, cundials sod condiments fur the poor, one servant to keep by the carriage, the other to assist her. It is her every -day employment to visit the numerous schools which she has established, to read to the young and hear them reed; to give them rewards; to visit the sick and needy, and raise them out of sickness and nerd as far am she eon. She can do much, and does it- God bless Lady Mary Bentinck, and all who are like her!—such is the s.seiration of many a grate.tiel heart. fhe Duke of Portland has, for twenty-five Years or more, had a staff of men, rolled the " Dukes navi gators," employed in making new water-courses to flood the meadows, to drain them, square fields, make new fences and new roads. About the villages of Norton and Cockney, operations may now be seen progress;iu but if we go south-east four or five miles to Clipstone, once the royal residence, we shall sec the rabbit warrens that from time immemorial lasted up to a few years ago, converted into the best of pasturage. A rent of 2e. 6d. per acre was the u•-most that the warrens of sand, fern, and furze, would have let for twenty years ago; now they are worth from 30s. to 30a. of mut per annum, and all t r .• irrigation. Some readers will remember Dodslev'a farce of the "King and the Miller of Mansfield." . I)odsley was a rative of this place. King John is supposed to hare lust his way when hunting on this ground (now inigated by the Duke of Portland with the fertilising writers of the Meden and the Man, the latter stream giving name to Mansfield, the human wastes, for which little had been dune until now irrigated by the knowledge streams opene dby Ludy Mary, his daughter) ; the king, in the three, meets " honest John Vockle," the miller, whose mill, according to tradition, stood where the duke has now made a revernir to raise the water to the level required for the nes meadows below Mansfield. Those at Clip stone, shero we mow yippee* ourselves to stand, are !irrigated from the Mellen. a 'stream which issues from the limestone stratum in Derbyshire, a few f mires distant, which origin is probably in its favour for irrigation. The hind reclaimed from waste by this system, near to where we stand, is of the follow ing extent : A. I. P. Clip tone Water Meadows Mawdield, Wo"dhou.e ditto High o.6tbarn ditto Lindharst ditto Gleadthorpe ditto Carburton ditto Wetback and Norton 33 0 22 Great changes have been made in the quality and value of some crops, in others hardly any advance. Young valued the turnips at Z. per acre; but added, they were unhoed; and left us to infer they were sown without manure. Turnips are now grown on the same land, worth LW., and were the tenants at liberty to dispose of them in any market, by sending them off the farm, they might bring 20/. per acre; three years ago, some of the tenants of thus district were uttered . peraere for Swedish turnips, butdared not sell them at any mice, being bound to have them, all consumed upon the form. Of this they complain loudly now that the ruilways communicate with the great towns of Yorkshire and Lancashire from their district, and now that those towns are in part sup plied with foreign corn, while they (the farmers) arc obliged to buy foreign manures to get up their crops of turnips and keep their land in high condi tion to compete with foreign corn. They say they should be at liberty to sell their produce to the best advantage. Some farmers, between this and Rother ham, mold swedes, in P 447, to a manufacturer near Gluesop, un the other side of the hills which divide the shirts of York and Lancaster, and which are penetrated by the Woodhead tunnel over three miles in length. It was a traffic which, tx•fine that tunnel was made, could nut have occurred, from physical impossibility. They were screed with notices of pro ceedings for penalties, also with notices to quit their farms for having sold turnips and not consumed them within their farm fields or yards, although ' they had been large purchasers' of manures not pre ' duccd upon the farms. 'they only escaped penalties and retained their occupations by the most earnest entree , ties of forgiveness, and promises not to offend again ; promises to he content with a return of 12 . or Li:. per acre for their expensively cultured root crops, in. • stead of 25/. All the tenants in the district where I now write are bound in this manner. They say that, if they must be sacrificed in the present trunsitionary • state of agriculture, the occupiers who may succeed ' will at least have the benefit of cultivating the fund by the rule of their own judgment and interest ; that the landlords will not find tenants to be hound by covenants, obsolete us Robin Hoed, and luunpered as they are now. For it is a universal expression here ' that all tenant-farmers must in one or two or three ' years of low prices sink to pauperism. I do not think their fortunes seem so hopeless, though if we , compare present expenses with theme of eighty years ago, the landlord and the labourer are now in a highly favoured condition compared with the tenant, farmer. The labourer's sewn are double ; his bread is about the same price us eighty years • ago; his clothes are cheaper mid better, though wool is more than three times the price it was then. Of provisions, only butcher's meat. batter, and cheese arc higher now ; these arc perhaps 60 per cent. higher, which still leaves the advantage on the side of the labourer, whose wages are lon per cent. better. The landlord is 21$) per cent. richer than eighty years ago, supposing that he is not immersed in die troubles of family set tlements and mortgages; even the fanner is not worse, though at present not better. Cuing south four or five miles, bearing a few points to the west, we puss through the t'ertile meadows in which stands the pretty, clean, bustling little town of Worksop. with its malt making, its timber trade, and truffle from the Manchester and Lincolnahire Railway across the forest country where there is no rail, but to width there are many visitors. Before us, stretching from east to west, rises the front of the noble woodlands in the heart of which lie (lumber to the left, Welbeck to the right, Thonsby behind (lumber, and others behind Thoresby. We turn to the right through a lodge gate, our faces to the west, and enter the park of Worksop manor. It is divided into numerous pad docks, and let at from .ios. to 60s. per acre for grazing. One of the enclosures is let in allotments to inhabitants of Worksop at the rate of 44 per acre. a quarter of an acre to each person. This piece of ground was let by the Duke of Norfolk, before the late I of Newcastle bought the manor nine years I ago, for 17/. ; its present rent is 87/. Other allotments let by the late Duke of Newcastle arc at the rate of 64 an acre. After a walk of a mile through the fine old park' of Worksop among trees of noblest growth and beauty, many brethren of whom the Duke of New- math:has recently cut down and sold at a good price' for railway purposes, and for the Sheffield trade (wisely, as enough of timber is still left), we come to the Manor Hall, or rather its ruins. When the Duke of Norfolk parted with the estate, here was a noble mansion, fit fur any duke in Eng land. although not completed to the fulness of the original design. His Grace of Newcastle set to work, pulled it down, sold the materials (it is said for not more than the cost of demolition), leaving only the etablery and some fragmentary portions standing. The spoliation of this pluee is one of many evad dances that the late Duke of Newcastle did t . nut advocate the legislative supremacy of territorial' power for its dignity, its feudal grandeur, but rather I , for ends of vulgar individualism and private gain. I Frequent are the regrets, deep the repentance of ; • persons in Worksop. for the departure of the Norfolk! family from this phice; repentance I say, for they . accuse themselves in Worksop of having affrontedl, the present Duke of Norfolk, when he was Earl of Surrey, and a candidate at Retford (with which place and the handmaid Bassetlaw Worksop joins in send- , ing two members of parliament), by hissing him, I spit-, Ling on hint, stoning him, and stopping his carriage in , Worksop-street to molest him. And what for ?-- , Because he was a catholic ; and because he had sup- I, ported the Reform Bill (it was at that period). had sought the disfranchisement of Retford, in opposition to the Duke of Newcastle, whose borough it was. As - soon as the estates of Norfolk dukedom fell to him., PoISONING AN INF %NI BY GIN.—In the Express he sold Worksop, and—we have just told what fol- 'of ye,terdav, under the head "Marylebouc Police Court," o h f ile ain charge astate a" of i linttax Hannahic ation, lowed—the Duke of Newcastle bought it, and to the' 1'!,,1xr...aa"/.'d:wri-haiett..Parn having, w mortification of the town laid the manor house in ; 3 (. a ., i ,c e (i n , a quan ears , t , i i ty o , f sa gin d te wh E o ll i beth Ramsey, a child under wreck.

The labourers cottages on the Clipstone estate — indeed, on the Duke of Portland's property generally —and on that of Earl Manvers, ate far superior to the cottages of labourers elsewhere. They arc arranged in piles of four, or three, or two; each pile like a first-class villa, with its garden and shrubbery e.round it, with windows enough to incur a serious t.•: —so you would think, when at a little distance; 1;• t. coming up with them, you see that in each villa-like assortment of two or three or four cottages there are four or six or eight blind window places, painted in imitation of sashes and glass. but not of glass, because of the window duties. The rents of these pretty houses, considering their ample gardens, the abundance of forest fuel, and comparative good wages of the inmates, is only trifling—about forty shillings a year. This estate belonged up to the middle of last een !tare to the crown. At that time a considerable part of . Nlarvlebone-fields, in London, belonged to the Duke of Portland, as the ground-rents of the street houses built where those fields lay do still. He was patron (the father of the present duke) of the parish church of St. Marylebonc. For this church patronage the crown gave him Clip stone-park. its chace, and all this fine estate lying around it in Sherwood Forest. A provident bargain fur the Duke of Portland; not so good for the public, whose property, called "crown lands," was given away. What those lands failed to return to the crown the public have made good out of the taxes. The farmers arc open to hear any suggestion about change of taxation. Complete free trade; all com modities free, all industry free; taxes levied directly upon income. according to profits and security of the sources of income, is an alternative which begins to engage their attention. They, making no profit, think they should then escape paying any national taxes. but is a melancholy wreck.

TILE UNIVERSITY COMMPSIONS.—It is said that a legal opinion has been obtained by the authorities at Cam bridge, suggesting some technical informality as regards the couatitution of the royal eornmisaien. but accompanied by a recommendation to parties to facilitate its objects. It is understood that no opinion ha. as yet been obtained by the authorities of the sister university, who have submitted a case to Mr. Nitwit, the eminent Queen's counsel; but meanwhile many of the most distinguished professors, heads of colleges, and ethos connected with the discipline and instruction of the place, have, it is understood, transmitted ' important evident*, to the commissioners for Oxford. A report prevails that the aged President of Magdalen College ham, on the part or his society, refused information, on tho plea of its being prohibited by the statutes of his college ; but it is obvious that means will easily be devised. with or without parliamentary interference, of overcoming any obeta cles of this description to the introduction of such improve . ments as are nowhere more indispensable than at Magdalen College, of which the income is disproportionately large, as , compared with the educational results proceeding from that society. Judging from the published statutes of the collage, ' compared -- with the practice of Magdalen College as relates to elect' , 61e., the absurdity indeed of pleading obedience to founders' statutes as a plea for concealment is self-evi dent. The Society of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, it is stated in letters, from Oxford, has recently followed the ex ample of All Souls and other collegiate bodies, in acceding to the application of her Majesty's commiwioners for intim &nation. That good reasons exist fur the reluctance said to be manifested at Exeter College, in the !AMC university, to take the same 'townie...dile course, is universally lealiesed, although it is but titir to say that the misdeed. charged upon that society, and of which evidence has been laid before the cenumissionem, are of (late which relieves the junior mem bers of the foundation from the imputation of being parties to them.—G/obe. " SERIOUS DISCONTENT PREVAILS AXON° TILE OFFI. ems OF Tem MILLBANK PILO. '" says a correspondent, consequence of au order issiwil by Colonel Jehh, sur veyor general of prisons putting all the subordinate Aker, of this establishment under stoppages of two shillings per week until a month's pay is obtained from each of them. This is Mine in order that in case of any inisimiduct on the part °luny such officers the authorities may have the power of dismissing them, and stopping the month's wages thus stopped. When the order was issued no account was given where it was to ice placed, or whether it would bear interest, and on some of the men objecting to the stoppage they were sent fur by the governor and informed that if they did not comply with the order he would suspend than. Many of the officers put under stoppages have, it is staksl, been em ployed a sufficient time to entitle them to a retiring pension, and they consider that their service is a sufficient guarantee fur the faithful performance of their duty. It appears that the officers intend memorialising the Secretary of State on thu subject, as the order does nut bear his signature." ALEPPO. We learn by letters from Mewl, dated lath of January, that Ms hented Pasha has been most sue ,, —NI in repairing the effects of the disorders which broke out in that city • short time since. It appears Indtt the Pasha's report, that the statements which rims and in some of the Ettropeatt levers relative to tin outbreak at Aleppo were of a most exaggerated kind. In the onslaught only five Christians were killed and six badly wounded. A I dred Chis num: Imams und live churches were pillaged. On the other hand, the insurgent Mussultnutis •t re severely punished on the instant, for the troops brought skiing them showed them no mercy.

TILE SAILORS' STRIKE. As thebrig Clemlg, Longstaff, reported sailing from the port of Sunderland on Thursday, was proceeding,l three of the crew were taken alongside by the river police hoot. Au altercation occurred between some opponents and one of the seamen in the bout, when the latter asserted that, although he differed with them in opinion, he had nevertlpless refreinnl from going to sea until he was almost stoning. lle had a few days before engaged to go with another ship, and several of the opposition seamen came uu hoard and forced him to lease hi. ship ; the next day one of the very persons who had fortvd him on shore engaged in the situation he Was GO fOrCrtit to vacate. He had no doubt but the same triok would be played if he was so foolish as to leave his present ship. This is a fair sample of what has frequently tweurn-d during the pre sent strike against the law. It is to he regretted that many good and well-disposed ...amen have allowed them mien to be duped and misled by a number of elamarous and turbulent men, who, to say the least, are only what are provincially called " half marrows," or ordinary sea men. On Tuesday fourteen wrath., and on Wnlnesday seven left the harbour. From this it is evident that the strike is fast giving way. A number of the sailors' families are suffering the isnemst privations ; hut still a number of seamen un anxiously waiting fur news from the delegates who wens sent to Gordon. The following communication was remind by the Local Marine Board on Thursday : " 011ie: of the Committee of Privy. Council for Trade, 'Naval Ik partment, Feb. 19, I$H. " Fir,—L ain dimeed by the Lain!, of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, to inform you that as much of the prevent dissatisfaction existing among the M..4111( . 11 of the north-eastern ports appears to anti from a misapprehen sion of the true character and objects of the regulations Liar maintaining discipline, i-.n. al by the Board of Trade, nay Lord. hay, determined to withdraw them from use in the port of Sunderland ; anal I am therefore to request you to gave dinctions to the shippiant- master r anti deputy ship riug-master to alinontinue the inane of Forms I and K. reficcner to them in Form. A and B fanned therefore he struck out, and some of these forms should be delivered to the master, to be made nceer•ihle to the crvrr, is re apainti by the Act, in place of Form U. " I am, sir, your obedient servant, "T. H. FAILRLII. "The Chairman of the Used Marine Board, Sunderland." On Thursday . morning 21 viswels sailed ; and during the week no fewur taan 111 atiiin, 16 for 6.rvign port., and 123 roa.twiw have I. ft the harbour. In the afternoon 14 large meeting of mailor. was held in the Sailor,.' Hall, when Mr. Rule.rt Youurr read a letter from Chalk, their delegate, which stated that he arrived in London i'n Monday night, and that on Tir,lay morning the delegates were introduced to G. F. Young. Ea.., who afterward. introduced them to J,,sepli flume, Esq., M.l'., and J. Wawn, Eq., the mem ber fur Shields. These gentlemen promised to aisompany them to Mr. 4..abouthere. on Weelne.day. A rewolutiten was passed. pledging the meeting to .tand (et until the dele ga!es returnellto Sunderland. I.— One hundnsl and fifty special constables were sworn M at South Shields ou Thursday morning. Three or four scowls got to sea under the protection of armed police and the marines front the Hecate, and as many more were expected to sail yesterday. A 14,M1.111 of the name of Wilson was committed for three months to Morpeth, on • charge of having taken a part in the riots of Sunday. A letter was received on Thursday from the deputation sent to London to wait on the Board of Trade. They state they would hare an interview on that day, and that information will be receited in Shields on Friday. The shipwrights have not resumed work yet, and, as may be expected, the town is in a very dull state. There has•been no disturbance sine. , Sundae, the preparations of the authorities overawing the men. Wednesday a public funeral was given to the body of Mark Armstiong, the pour fellow who was drowned on Sunday. There was an immells, number of men in the proe, , sion, the sailors all neatly dressed, and wearing black crape, with a white tie, on their left ann. The body was interred in the churchyard of Christ Church. At Hartlepool the seamcu continue to hold meeting after meeting about the strike, but without coming to any ar rangement with the owner• or masters of the reads. Sere ral of the seamen are disposed to go to sea, but cannot get, having placed their ticket* in the hands of the committee, who a ill not give them up to enable them to agree. The tuwu of Stockton presented a scene of unusual es citement on Tuesday last. About two or three hundred sailors, followed by a mob of women and children, paraded the street* with a Guy labell.4 Labouchere," and attended h 7 a clown, bond of music, &c. Occasionally the proces sion stopped, when the figure was subjected to divers in dignities, amidst the cheers of the crowd. It was after wards burnt with due solemnity. TUE RFT. ROBERT WHISTON AND 'IDE DF.AN AND CM AMER or ROCII UT/AL—The Rev. It. Whiston has addressed the following letter to Jamea Haywood, Esq., the late mayor of the borough of Derby:—•. Rochester, 18.11.—fly dear Sir,—l have the pleasure to ac knowledge the receipt of 154/. Ss., the subscription raised (or me in Derby and the neighbourhood. To many of those who have contributed this sum, I hare not bad the oppor tunity of personally returning iny thanks, and perhaps I nes er may. Permit me, then, to express to yourself as chairman of the meeting at which the subscription was ori ginated, not only my gratitude for this pecuniary aid from my native town, but also my deep sense of the sen ice ren dered to the caw..• in which I am engaged, by such a =ni l(*.station of sympathy front so many persons differing so much in station, opinion, and principle., as those who have contri buted the amount for which I hare so many reasons to be grateful For among the earious satisfactions which support and cheer me ludic struggle which a publication of the truth has brought upon me, ill. not the least, that those to whom I am best, and have been longest known were the foremost ,to help me. Nor can I ever foge that by them chiefly, my friends here and at Derby, h a v e I hitherto be* n enablid to hold my own, without cost and without care, against the members of a wealthy and powerful corporation. who have twice dismissed me from my other, and stigmatised me as utterly uutit to teach those for whose rights I have striven, because, forsooth, I have used what they call intemperate language in reprobating the unjust profit. made by many cathssleul chapters in England out of endowments. munitf cently providoil by a royal founder, fur the • liberal bring ing up of youth, and the common good of the subjects of the realm.' Again most sincerely thanking yourself for your personal kindness, and with the warme.t gratitude to my other friends for their support and sympathy, I remain, my dear sir, yours very truly. Itonnar WHISTON." THE nuit: OP NEWeAsTLE.—Wc believe that his grace the Duke of Newcastle ha resolved not to preserve game on his estates as heretofore, but to allow his tenants fie pris liege of killing the same. We arc glad of thi-; it manifests a liberal disposition, and will tend materially to diminish the crime of poaching at present so exceedingly rife within the limits of the dukery, and to some extent leaven the amount of county rates, which has so lung and so seriously pressed upon the rate-payers of that particular die triet.—Duseaster Gaseile. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE MARKETS. SATCHDAY MORNING. The transactions in colonial produce continue on a limited scale. The chief feature to notice is the alteration in the value of Colfee, consequent upon the announcement of the financial statement by the Chancellor of the Exche quer, proposing an equalisation of the Coffee duties, and reduction to 31. per lb., but leaving the use of Chicory free as intiore. The result has been a fall of about 3S. upon Plantation Ceylon and the native kinds, which had risen to 475. Gd. to 411 e. have been sold at 41s. to 4.5, per cwt., while in foreign the only material improvement has been in Mocha, fur which an advance of about 7s. per cwt. upon the previous public sales' rates has been obtained. Sugar has commanded former prices, excepting hor Madras, the inferior kinds of which are rather lower. Some sales of Madras Rice have been at 3d. to Gd. per cwt. decline. The Tea market was flat early in the wea, but is now rather more active. TALLOW . MARKET.-THIS DAY. The market remains steady to-day, at the following 9,uo tations: Town Tallow, 375. nett cash ; Pctersburgh 1. C. on the spot, 375. 6d.; March and April, 375. 3d. ; last three months, 38s. 9d. MARKET ATERAGEC—Town Tallow, 395. 6d.; fat by ditto, 2s. Id.; Yellow Rua...inn, 395.; melted stuff, 295.; rough ditto, 18s. ; Tallow Graves, 95.; good dregs, On the spot the sales made have been much less this week than last, and the rates of that time are not to be obtained. 'Fine yellow candle is offered at 375. 3.1. to 375. Gal. per cwt. For delivery little has been done, and the value is now 335. 6d. to 395. for the last three months of the year. Of home-melted the supply is yet plentiful, and the value is 375. net cash ; few buyers arc to be met with. With other sorts of Tallow the market is plentifully supplied, and the trade arc not much in want of American or Sydney, the value of which is from 34.. to 38s. for low to fine. In prices of fat there is no variation, and the supply is greater than in the former season. WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY. The public sales of colonial and foreign Wool lure been in progress all the week, and are not expected to terminate till Tuesday next. Several parcels of foreign have been withdrawn, from their being unsuited to our manufactures, but the whole of the colonial produce offered has been readily taken at rates fully equal to those realised in the last sale Fine Australian fleeces have obtained Is. Old. per lb. The buyers are numerous, but it may be noticed that some infe rior descriptions have scarcely obtained so high a price as last week. For British wool there has been a dightly in. creased demand, and prices are well supported. This week's imports have not exceeded 67 bales fruru Hamburg, 10 from Ghent, and 112 from Constantinople.

THIS DAT. Twos °Timex. The ministerial difficulty is the chief topic of dis cussion in City circles. All parties adopt the solu tion of the Doily News as conveying the assurance of Sir Charles Wood's retirement into private life, and it is accepted with extreme satisfaction. By commercial men the crisis is looked upon as a God send. as not only relief from an incompetent, meddling and tyrannical Chancellor of the Exchequer, but as se curing rather than endangering the progress of • li bemlandenlightenedpolicy. Recent andeinningevents have more deeply impressed our leading men with the conviction that the country is engaged in a career of competition, in which nothing but energy and freedom of action can enable us to maintain our supremacy at the head of manufacture* and commerce. the working of the gold treasure* of California, the spread of colonisation, tlw enormous advance of steam navigation, the combined action of the electric telegraph, the removal of navigatory and fiscal regulations, almost without exception through out the world—all these events are brought to a climax in the forthcoming gathering of all nations, which will give a stimulus to industry and enterprise throughout the universe. We have therefore not merely to receive our visitors, but to set our house in order ; and merchants look with earnest anxiety not only) to the principles but to the men guiding and a ninistering our commercial policy. The Exchequer and the Board of Trade have ac quired a higher administrative importance than they before possessed, and no one but has felt strongly desirous for the removal of a Chancellor who has signalised himself by failures in each successive year. and who, so Eir from falling in a period of difficulty and deficiency, has succumbed with a pros perous exchequer and large surpluses, which he has not known how to apply. The strength which would be given to the ministry by the accession of' Sir James Graham, us intimated by the Daily News, is acknowledge d; but the ques tion of the future chancellor is ooked on with no less internat. 11w difficulties in the way of a Stunleyite administration, even if not protectionist, arc strongly felt, and there is a disposition still to trust Lord John, be:ieving that, as an experienced leader, he will profit by the lesson he has received. Never was there a Peron when such a crisis was discussed with less party bias, because it is felt that the country cannot consider the claims of faction, but must lie governed on sound principles, and on an en lightened policy. - Several 'circiunstmces contribute to support the money market under the anxiety of a period of transition. There is a stronger as , uranee that the Hank rate will nut be altered, while not only were the exchanges quoted higher yesterday at London, but likewise at Paris, and the increase of bullion in the Bank of England confirms the impression that the currency crisis has abated. There was some flatness observable in the stock market at the commencement of business this morn ing, but this has since in a great measure passed off, and prices are now quoted about the same as they left off yesterday. Consols opened at 96 fur money, and 96 to 1 fur sweount, and, after receding to 951 for cash, have recovered to their present quotation, 96 to 4 for present delivery, and 1 more for the 11th of March, being tin' same us they closed yesterday afternoon. The prices of business are : nuce per Cent. Consols, 96, 9.1 t, ; ditto for account, 96, ; Three per Cents. Reduced. t/f;, I; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 98,4, ; India Stock, 265, _'J; Bank Stock, 2151. The unfunded securities continue depressed under the influence of selling operations, and prices are again lower to-day. Exclanuer 1.0991., mark 495. and 44;5. prem.; ditto, 500 L, 465.; ditto small, SOL India Bonds, large, MN. prem.; ditto small, 375. The foreign stock market opened flat but is now steady, and, though this is usually the quiet day of the week, an increase in the business is to be noted; for though the transactions are not extensive in any particular descriptions, most stocks have come in for a share of attention. Russian stocksopened lower, but have since recovered. Buenos Ayres Bonds, on the other hand, arc rather worse, on met t of meet unfavourable intelligence ; and Mexican Bonds show some little weakness, business having Ikea last trans acted at 321.
