Tin opening of the new commercial policy in France is an interesting spectacle to the still sur viving contemporaries of Mr. HCRICI6BOII. The fogey objections, in Parliament and out of it, ere exactly t h e same in spirit and style as the.. nide in 1823, thoogh their material is necessarily dif ferent. The objectors are obliged to pretend to pro tect free trade a our day, and the peculiar circum stances of Franco introduce varieties into the oontro- Terry; but any old gentleman who may have atteeded the debates in 1823, and have heard how Mr. HIJSKISSON was assailed about wool end silks, sight fancy he heard the same voices now com plaining of all known and all imaginable particulars of the new agreement with France. The grand oomplaint is of the delay on the French side, some of the most important relaxations not taking place till July, 1861, whereas we are to make our redactions of duty at once. Such delay is • pity, of none. It is bad for all the parties concerned. Bat ft would not mend the matter for us to incur delay also. As Free tradere, we expect to benefit ►y improved nesse to French commodities; and the sooner we get it the better, whether the aeons of the French to oar com modities takes place at the mme time or later. Ws expect to find it a great boon to obtain French wines cheap, and see vile intoxicating and drugged drinks going oat, whether the French take our coal and iron to-morrow or not till mkt year. We are not lodif ferent to the delay. It must protract our—not loss —but absence of gain from important branches of exnmerce : but the delay is far worse for the French manufacturers and trader,: and perhaps the most serious consideration involved in the can is that such evil, as must attend • great commercial change will be gravely enhanced by the length of the period of suspense. Is there no hops, it may be asked, of some shorten ing of this period of suspense? We see the French tendency to system and logisal arrangement in dulging itself on this subject ea on every other which ia connected with public affairs. As Sir Rosser Peen always saw three courses open, so French statesmen see three phases, or four, or five, as it may be, in every project which is about to be realised. In this case there are, we are told, flee phase., which it will take two years to exhibit. First, the present state of things for some months; snond, the lowering of duties on raw materials third, the redaction upon e,al and iron; fourth, the lowering of the duties upon machinery ; and fifth, the lowering of duties upon threads and textures. Such is the talk at Paris, in high places and low. If any man were toask in the French capital whether there is no hope of shortening the period of soaps's, the answer would be something very like what the fathers of our silk manufacturers said to Mr. Hinalsoott when they compelled him, against his judgment, to put off the importation of foreign silks till July, 1826: " We hope we shall be able to get out of the s' trade before the time arrives." An interval be settle affairs, between sentence and execution, was what these manufacturers then craved, and what French Protectionists now eagerly demand. The issue in our own miss may possibly foreshow what will happen in the French. There was something more formidable for Mr. Hrs. nlssox to encounter thee the urgency of capitalist• who wanted to " getout of the trade." There were the poor crettsmen who most live and die with the trade. It was not very cheering for the members of the Cabinet to pass through • long lane of pale-faced Spitallields weavers, who believed these ministers were dooming them to liter raio. When the poor fellows found that their cause was hopeless, as they expressed it, they eonnyed their views in tnii form of thanks for • respite. They " thanked the Honor and the " Chancellor of the Exchequer for the postpone " meet of the day of their destruction till 1826, and 1 . propel that it might be further postponed till " 1b29." After two years of gloom and trembling, whea " the day of their destriection* at length arrived.what was the light thrown arm it in the in tern' ? Is 1829, at the time to which the weavers would have retracted the suspense, the manatee tore was already doable what it had bees prior is the change; Gan this in spits of the tremendous commercial cionvelsion of 1826. Issued of the pr► wheal famisee and miler winter depending* ea alma is lipitalSelde, the loom were busy all they.. round, the children clotted, and the' family fed by their own earnings. In eight years #roni the ad mission of French silks we were expert' silt goods to France itself to Oh. amount o ,0001. a year. Nobody wonted they to '' 01. es of the "trade;" and nobody prayed ... for deity when, in . 1848, Sir R. PEEL proposed a further reduction of duties, on the ground of the happy consequences of the former change. The clapping in the gallery in Mr. HUSKISSON'S time was at his postponement of the reduction for two plan. The applause in Sir it. Pziu.'s time followed his statement of the great development of the manufacture. In fact, the delay between 1824 and 1826 was afterwards recognised as very mischievous. Mr lit/SKIMS had said how it would be. He had re lieved himself from responsibility by avowing that "in his own opinion the time which had been " granted was not at all called for ; but he had " ceded it in deference to the feelings of " the parties interested, and with a view to " conciliate, as mach as possible, those who thought " their interests might suffer by the measure." As any one might have foreseen, the course of business was deranged, everybody was uncertain what to do and expect, the demand fell off, and nobody enjoyed the period except the smugglers. In the end, everybody agreed with Mr. MAMMON that the delay was " the one great error of the " scheme ;" and since that time there has certainly been a steady conviction in the minds of men of business that a prompt change of commercial policy, however extensive, is infinitely easier to manage and endure than a lingering one. Another illustration of the benefit of bringing the new scheme to a teat with all promptness was afforded in 1842, when Sir R. PEEL admitted live cattle from the Continent, as well as meat and fish, fresh and salted. Most of se remember the advertisements of Hamburg meat at 3d. per lb., when meat was selling at 6d. in the markets of Hamburg. We remember how the more ignorant of our farmers sold off their grazing stock for anything it would fetch, in the panic which was raised about England ceasing to est English beef. In a month or two the mischief we Facts were too strong for visionary apprehensions; and our farmers and grsziers quietly and contentedly set about fattening for our markets the lean cattle which tame from abroad—clover and other seeds being at the mune time released from the high duties which had kept them sat et the farmers' reach. There have been repeated evidences that we now perceive delay to be injarioes to the very parties whom it is intended to benefit. The transitionatate has never been found to answer. We finally re fretted it in the case of the Corn Laws. We brought it to a speedy end in the earns of West India omatimpation. Is there no hope that our neighbours may learn the truth otherwise than by their own painful experience ? They are not, as a nation, so ignorant as we were when standing on the verge of free trade. Some may perhaps be es ignorant as our pale.fased weavers of 1824; bet there are *hole classes who are wine by oar experiences, and not a few individaals who are thoroughly versed ia the philosophy and fact of the whole ease. Is it not possible that the collective wisdom of the wise may bring about an amalgamation of some of the five phases, and a shortening of the season of suspense ? It is not very likely that the croakers will "get out of the trade," any more than our silk manufacturers of fire-and-thirty years ago. They will jest wait aid see what happens. It is a pity that they cannot meantime have a peep at their smuggler,' haulm, and see what a trade they them selves have thrown into the bands of illicit traders. For a year or two the cootrabandists will make a fine thing of their opportunity. The croakers may well grudge them the boon, and would be wise to deprive them of it. It is a misfortune that public affairs have so little stability in France as to render it difficult to find firm ground for the wisest arrangements. It is the sense of this instability which explains to meat et us the meaning of a commercial treaty at this time of day. The same consciousness is now exalting the joy of the wine-growers in France at out prompt action in admitting their produce, putting the new advantage bey ood the reach of change. The same consciousness may operate notortanately 'in encouraging the Protectionists to hope that " fate, or Providence, or something," will yet inter fen to save them from the doom they dread. This is a disadvantage. On the other hand, the EMPE ROR is powerful, strong also in his oonviotione on the suhject of Free Trade. It cannot be desirable for him that his policy should be denounced and abused for eighteen months or two years before it is brought to the test. It is to be hoped that, as initial, his 'objects will learn to see se he mew, and desire what be recommends, so that his °pantry and ours may be tradiag in amparedve freedom long before July and December, 1861. If we may not see that, it is still a biassing that a data is fixed when the process may begin.

ANOTHER DEVON RATION. On the 22nd ult. another great political demon stration wu made at Rome, the more immediate object in this instance being to protest against the recent address to the Pope from a portion of the nobility. An immense crowd assembled upon the Place Cotonna, when they raised shoats of " Vivo Napoleon ! Viva la Franoe! Vi,. Victor Emmanuel! Down with Antonelli ! Down with the government of the Priests!" General de Ooyon has since pub lished as order of the day, declaring that his mis sion is to preserve tranquillity, and Chet he must prevent any further manifestation. The agitation, however, continued. HUNGARY. Advioes from Vienna state that the Hungarian memorandum lately sent to the Emperor by a depu tation, which was not received either by his Majesty or by the ministers, is drawn up in a menacing tone. The petitioners begin by se, ing that there are signs, which cannot be mistaken, of a movement among the people, but that the movement would re semble an avalanche, the progress of which no one could either stop or direct. The petitioners afterwards say that not having been able to obtain an audience of the Emperor, they have had recourse to publicity. Hangary, they declare, being fatigued with Austrian government will detach herself from Austria at the first opportunity, and unite herself to a foreign power whatever it may be, even were it China ; the government hes insulted and overthrown everything that existed in Hungary with unpardonable pride and childish earelessneen. After this preamble, the authors sketch the situation of the government at home, the defeats which it has met with abroad, and conclude with the most sombre predictions. FRANCE AND SAVOY.

The Empetor, on the occasion of the death of the Geist Disks. Stephanie of Baden, has gone into mourning for three weeks, the first tea days full, and the remainder of the time half mourning. The Correspondent has received a second warning for an article published in its number of the 26th January, entitled "La Question Italienne et l'Opinion Catholique en France," signed Auguste Cochin, and for ►nother bearing the title of " La Lettre Imperials et la Situation," signed Albert de Broglie. These articles, in the opinions which they express of the events preceding and following the war in Italy, are declared to calumniate the policy of France; and their evident hostility to have for object to excite passions which the national feeling reproves. The Journal de Charleroi says:—" The satisfac tion manifested by the English journals on the con clusion of the treaty of commerce which will unite more intimately France and England, paralysed, so to speak, oar coal trade for a few days; but since the bases of the treaty have become known, the trade has resumed activity, and the expeditions of coal are now almost as great as they were before the publi cation of the imperial letter of the 6th January. We learn from a certain source that the Northern Railway Company has received from different esta blishments applications for trucks for the export of 1,000,000 kilogrammes (1,000 tons) of all sorts of iron. The iron works of Hotirpes have for some days been sending off 60,000 kilogrammes (60 tons) of cast iron a day destined for Belgium and France." The Memorial de Lille says :—" We are happy to be able to announce that the alum caused by the projected commercial measures is beginning to subside. The workmen who had been warned that they would be discharged at the expiration of the present fortnight have since been told that they will not be required to leave." Numerous workmen are at present engaged in making repairs and arrangements in the palace of the Legislative Body, preparatory to the opening of the session on the 23rd of February. In the principal court, under the peristyle of the grand portal, two colossal white marble statues, by Guayrard, have recently been placed.
