A month or two ago this was the case with Earl Rus- SELL'S Letter upon Ireland, addressed to the Right Hon. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE. Last week it was thus in regard to Mr. BRIGHT'S Letter to the Secre tary of the Birmingham Liberal Association. Just now, in Paris, it is the E3IPERoR'S Letter to M. AIACKAU which is the universal theme of commentary in political circles and in the newspapers. Between twenty or thirty years ago, over in Dublin, it used to be periodically the like in regard to the last letter to "My dear Ray," penned by the hand of the Irish Liberator. A collection of celebrated letters of a political character would form a not uninteresting compilation ; and it would serve to illustrate very stlikingly the leading events of each successive generatiLn. Among the most voluminous contributors to a v, lume of that kind w,u141, as a matter of colas:, be the noble Earl whese name has just now Leen particu'arscd. Lord RUSSELL I,a before this beep spoken cf, hilf in deri sion: I alf in serious recognition as the Complete Letter Writer—Politically. Some among his episto laryeffasions, indeed, have long since become historical either by their notorie'y or by their importance. His letter addressed to his constituents in th , . winter of 1845-6, and dated from Edinburg', was the memor able prelu , le to the abolition of the Corn Laws by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government. His letter 'ad : dressed in 1850 to the Bishop of DURHAM was the signal for a sort of travestie of the fant.tieisl:2 awakened by that crazy Scotch Peer, Lord GEORGE GORDON, seventy years previously —only instead of TilE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, 'JUNE 21, 1869 sacreligiously despoiling the Catholic Chapels in 1830 and burning Newgate as their predecessors had done in 1780, the Protestant mobs contented themselves with setting fire to effigies of the POPE and Cardinal WISEMAN. The Imperial Legislature, however, in the middle of the Nineteenth Century showing itself at the same time anything but as self-possessed and as unimpassioned ae the Houses of Parliament bad done towards the close of the Eighteenth Century—seeing that, so far from repelling and denying the demands of the fanatical antagonists of "Popery" out of doors, the Lords and Commons of England nearly twenty years ago so far responded to it as to pass into a law the utterly powerless and inope rative measure of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Among other political Letter Writers of our own time, not the least conspicuous has been during these twenty years last passed, his Majesty the present Emperor of the FRENCH. His brief missive at the com meneement of the last decade but one, addressed to M. EDGAR NEY, then at Rome, will long be borne in recollection as one of the most memorable of his epistolary communications. At rare aed very noticeable intervals his MAJESTY has in a similar way blurted forth, at pecu liarly critical junctures, his own, up to that moment, simply conjectured thoughts in regard to the policy of his Government. The latest of these "asides'' has became audible to France, to a'l Europe, within the past fe ,v days through the EMPEROR'S note addressed to M. MacKau Language—said Prince TALLEYRAND, and, before then wrote Dr. GOLDSMITH—is given to men to conceal their thoughts. The cyuioal zug g ootion that it is so, seems to come much more naturally as a Mot from the lips of the French wit, than to fall as an aphorism from the pen of the gentle hearted Irish man-of-letters. However this may be, it is undeniable that, more than once, the Emperor of the FRENCH has found language apparently most frank, so far a conceal ment to his thoughts, that the meaning of his words lias, time and again, been regarded by friend and foe alike as, to the last, enigmatical. The Imperial utterances, in other times, have not unfre quently been Delphic iu their character—they h 'ye admitted 'of various, and sometimes , of the most opposite, interpretation, as to their real signi nificance. The letter very recently addreisci by the Emperor NAPOLEON 111. to MACKAU is being just now treat .:d by the Parisian journalists, for the most part, as if it were fl igrantly and unde niably an effusion of precisely that description. And to ourselves, all the while, this communic ition reads as simply and as comprehensibly as possible. It means, to our thinking, solely and wholly this, that, to menace, the Imperial Government will remain dumb, but that the Empire is always prepared for the exigencies of the epoab and of the country in regard to the political modifications that may from time to time appear desirable. That it means more this we cannot see, and we do not believe. That it means the retention at all hazard of M. ROUHER as the Minister of State—that it means the maintenance to the last inex orably of the system of Personal Government, is no-- where legible to us in these calm and unimpassioned The utterance is, no doubt, the utterance of a Prince wielding dictatorial or autocratic power, but it is the utterance of a Prince wielding that power by a right thrice accorded to him hrough the Urn of the Ballot by the great mass of he French Democracy. sentences. Mn. GLADSTONE must have been more than human if he did not contrast June 18, 1869, with June 18, 1806. The unexpectedly large majority of thirty three which he obtained in a house containing a large majority of Conservative peers, could not but force itself upon him as a gratifying compensation for the minority of eleven in his own house exactly three years before. Now all is joy and victory ; a magnificent triumph at the polling- baoths, splendid mid united phalanx in one house of the Legislature, and a success far beyond his brig!' testanti cipations in the other. What a change since those days of trouble and rebuke when he saw his party divided and disorganised, his Ministry bro!en up, and the cause of Liberal principles apparently lost. Yet, even in that hour of sorrow, though not of shame, even when his own familiar friends had turned against him, and his foes were of his own political household, he did not lose faith or hope. No one can have forgotten the magnificent peroratio delivered on the very eve of defeat ; no one can have forgotten the confident prophecy that out of the ashes of those who then fell the avenger would arise. Faith and hope have been rewarded far beyond their most ardent expectation. Household suffrage has been granted, the Liberal party has been reunited, and not the Commons only, but the Lords have affirmed the principle of the disestablishment of the Irish Church. Truly a wonderful change in the three short years since Lord DUNKELLIN and Lord ELCHO were—Heaven save the mark !—the heroes of the day. But while it was inevitable that such thoughts should have crowded upon the mind of the PREMIEIt on Waterloo Day—now for the third time made memorable in British annals—to those of us who are independent of party, the chief source of satisfaction in connection with this division is that it has taken the Irish Church question out of the region of party. The Liberals carried the measure through the House of Commons, but it is the Con servatives who have carried it through the House of Lords. It was evident from the first that if the Opposition peers chose they could for the time throw out the bill. But they wisely reckoned the cost, and nearly all the most able of them, quite all the most farseeing of them, declined to commit themselves to a policy which could not possibly prevail in the long run, and which, while it would not save the Irish Church Establishment, would imperil the existence of the House of Lords. They had a perfect right totake this consideration into account. But this was not the only one that influenced them. They recognised the great fact embodied in the last Reform Bill—the political revolution which it had brought about—namely, that power having first passed from the Crown to the Peers, had now finally passed from the Peers to the People. The very men who opposed the Reform Bill because it would in volve this change, were actually the very men to recognise it after it had taken place. It was the rash followers of that most rash of all leaders, Lord DERBY, who, having taken a leap in the dark, refused to see that they had alighted on far other ground than that whereon they used to stand ; it was these who would have upheld the Irish Church at the risk of a forcible revolution in England, and a civil war in Ireland. We have commented upon and condemned Mr. BRIGHT'S indiscreet letter, because it assumed as certain that which has not taken place ; but his words would have been more than justified if this party had prevailed, and offensive though they were, they would have been as butter and honey compared with the gall and vinegar that would have been forthcoming if Mr. BP:At.Es and his friends had reappeared in llyde Park. As it is, there is no single action of the House of Lords during the whole of the present century which reflects so much credit upon them as this debate and this division. The debate shews that, for calm statesmanship and for oratorical power, our hereditary are more than a match for our elected legislators. The division shews that there is a large number of the Lords whom no considerations of party will induce to adopt a course which they believe to be opposed to the national will, and there fore fraught with injury to the Constitution. The Liberal party in the Commons voted en masse, as they were bound to do if they would represent the opinion of their constituents ; the Conservative party in the Lords refused to do so, because they would not fly in the face of that opinion. It is not too much to say that the unanimity of the Minis terialists in the Lower House has led to the disrup tion of the Oppositionists in the Upper. Had the first shewn the slightest sign of wavering, there would have been none in the Upper. A word or two as to the future. The bill has now to pass through the ordeal of committee, and there can be no doubt that this will be a formidable ordeal. There is one proposal that would unite a large num ber of peers on both sides of the house, peers of great weight and very varied sentiments—a proposal for a concurrent endowment of the Roman Church. That proposal will not be made even though it has the support of Earl RUSSELL, the Duke of DEVON SHIRE, Lord KIMBERLEY, and the Bishop of St. DAVID'S on the one side, and probably one-half of the Conservative peers on the other. It will not be made for the same reason that the bill has been read a second time, in order that the Lords may not set themselves in opposition to the nation. But other amendments will be made, and we have not the smallest doubt that such of these as are carried will be accepted by Mr. GLADSTONE on behalf of the House of Commons, provided always that they are not con trary to the principle of the, bill which both Houses have now affirmed. So much for the immediate result of this important division. The more remote result must be the reorganisation of the Conservative party, and the appointment of new leaders. Lord DERBY has lived to see power pass out of his hands. It is no longer those who resist moderate changes to the very last, and then take leaps in the dark by way of avoiding them, to lead a party which numbers among its ranks some of the most able statesmen, orators, and administrators of the day. No one knows this better than Lord DERBY'S son. Henceforth it is to peers like Lord SALISBURY, Lord CARNARVON, and the Lord DERBY of the future that the Conservatives will look for guidance. We are moving fast ; great social forces are at work, great and violent changes are possible. Moderate men of all parties, and the men who belong to no party, may therefore well rejoice that there now exist Conservative statesmen who have renounced the old, bad policy of resisting until the verge of revolution, only in order to capitulate ignominiously ; who have, instead, adopted the new and wise policy of yielding gracefully and in time. THE debate and the division in the House of Commons on the Treaty of Commerce with France are highly significant. The battle between Protec tion and Free Trade has been so long decided, the victory has remained so complete, that the supporters of the sounder doctrine have ceased to dream of danger. But when two-fifths of a House of 250 members vote in favour of a covert attack upon Free Trade, the time has evidently arrived for those who fear Protection to guard against it. Mr. STAVELF.Y HILL, who moved on Friday for a select committee to inquire into the operation of the French Treaty, with special reference to the silk manufacture, did, indeed, disclaim the idea of returning to a protective system. He desired nothing more than such a revision of the French Treaty as would place English and French manufac tures upon the same terms, the bargain being at present, he urged, very one-sided. But it is very easy to shew that his proposition amounts to a declaration against free trade or to nothing. The people of England have long been painfully aware of the distressed condition of the Coventry silk-weavers. A fivefold increase of the sum required for outdoor relief, in addition to the national subscription of £40,000, is sufficient evi dence that the palmy days of the Coventry district have passed, at least for the time being. Mr. STAVELEY HILL charges the French Treaty with being the cause of this depression. The terms agreed upon between the two countries are decidedly unequal ; for France agreed that the duties on silks imported from England should not exceed 30 per cent., whilst the English Govern ment abolished the duties on auk cato g .ther. Pure silk is admitted into France free of duty, the French manufacturer having less fear of competition in that branch ; but slllis mixed with cotton, in the manu fac:ure cif which the Engli s h are most expert, are met with a duty of 10 or 15 per cent. The two nations, Dl r. II:LL argues, have not concluded a reciprocal bargain, and the effect has been most dis astrous. co!: ly wages at Coventry have fallen from £12,000 to £3,000, and trade-rAurns in the same proportion. It is wearisome to be obliged to return to the old formulas of this well-worn subject. If the Coventry people lose, the nation at large gains. If labour and capital do not find remunerative employment in one branch of industry they will do so in another; and the care of the Government must be not to artificially buoy up isolated manufactures, but to procure the cheapest goods for the great mass of the people. This is the fundamental principle of Free Trade, and it applies to the case of Coventry as well as to any other case. But Mr. limes position may be met by more specific arguments. It is more than doubt ful how far the distress at Coventry is owing to the commercial arrangements with France. The silk trade, as Mr. MuNrz, a high authority, shewed, has always fluctuated. There were periods of distress and periods of prosperity before the French Treaty. Moreover, the American War and the great change of fashion—though the represen tative of Coventry denied that anything was owing to these causes—have really done much to bring about the sufferings of his constituents. But, admitting that the Treaty has had some ill-effect, that the duties are unequal and the bargain unfair, what then ? We have no means of amending the terms. The power of further reducing the duties lies with the French Govern ment, which at present is not disposed to make any alteration. There is a very strong Protective party in France—much more formidable than that which apparently exists in England—and it is doubtful how far the EMPEROR could venture to make further changes. He favours the principle of Free Trade, but many considerations hamper him in carrying it out to the full in practice. The English Government, on its side, made the best possible bargain, and is now on the look-out to improve it. What could a select com mittee do to further the end in view? The only remedy which lies in our power is to decline a renewal of the Treaty, which expires this year, and return to protective principles. But Mr. STAVELEY HILL does not advocate this course. He wants reciprocity ; but reciprocity implies the consent of two parties, which cannot be had. To return to protection would be little short of madness, for to the nation at large the treaty has been of the most extensive benefit. We have recently given the figures, and it would be needless to repeat them. Suffice it to say that our total annual imports from France have at least doubled in eight years, and our total exports to France have far more than doubled. To abandon a system of this kind is out of the select committee would. only raise hopes which might never be realised. The only resource is to await the revival of trade, of which the hope is great, and the further advance of Free Trade principles in France, of which the hope, we are sorry to say, is . just now but small. THE ATLANTIC CABLE EXPEDITION, A special correspondent of the Times writes his first letter on the Atlantic Cable Expedition from Brest. It is dated June 17, and the writer commences by saying: " The first step towards laying down the line of subma rine telegraph between this harbour and Boston was made yesterday. Nothing could be done before, and very little has yet been done at all, for the weather has been, on the whole, rather unfavourable, and the swell of the Atlantic, which rolls before a westerly wind into the little creek called Minon Bay, has been so heavy on the beach that boating has been out of the question. The close of to-day, however, if the weather still holds fair, ought to see the shore end laid and buoyed, when all will have to wait till the Great Eastern arrives. If the weather has affected her coaling as much as it did our passage, she is not likely to be here much before Tuesday, nor away with the cable before Wednesday, the 23rd." The correspondent describes some difficulty with the Great Eastern's paddles :—" These paddles are so deep in the water as, in nautical parlance, to be almost drowned. Before she started on Saturday, therefore, it was necessary to reduce every alternate float on each, and thus bring their number down from thirty-six to eighteen. In addition to this alteration, every float has been reefed in as near the centre of the wheel as pos sible ; but even with all reductions the power of the paddles was so great that their use had to be dis• continued whenever the channels were shoal or winding, and they were always one thing or the other, and not seldom both. With the additional 2,000 tons of coal at Portland, the wheels will be immersed to the lowest depth at which they can be of any service, and probably it is not till the vessel is half across the Atlantic ' that they will be doing full work at all, while, at the end of the voyage, as the vessel lightens, they will be doing absolutely nothing. To meet this drawback to a return passage, the Great Eastern takes an entirely new set of floats with her, which will be bolted on at St. Pierre, and enable her to return to England at full speed." The correspondent goes on to say: " Tho good people at Brest evinced the most profound indifference to all connected with cable matters. They knew, of course, that one was to be laid, and were in a sort of way anxious to see the Great Eastern again, but this was all. As to the probabilities of success, the manner in which it was to be done, or the course over which the line would have to be taken, they knew little and cared less. The French authorities, however, were quite alive to the importance of the occasion, and gave every facility and assistance to Captain Osborn. The Admiral of the port, Admiral Reynaud, placed the Soufflet steamer at his service, and gave a hundred dockyard seamen, with a large raft and a large lighter, to assist in landing the shore end. This work was commenced at 4 a.m. to day. The weather was beautifully calm, though in the gray light of early dawn the cliffs looked more repellent and inhospitable than ever. But there was hardly any surf beating against them, and that was all that was wanted, let them look as ug:y as they liked. The Hawk went first, and the Chiltern with the shore end followed. Soon after six the massive coil was paid out through the machinery over the stern of the Chiltern, and stowed away fore and aft in coils on board the raft. This was then towed in to the shore by a little steam pinnace, which brought it within a few feet of the laud. The crew then, both French and English, were in a twinkling overboard up to their necks in the surf, and almost in as short a time as it takes to tell it the shore end was landed and dragged by main force to the cable house, about 100 yards or so up the little ravine. Here the end was secured, tested, and, of course, found perfect, and, in less than half an hour after, it was laid in the little trench which bad been dug in the sand and cut in the rock to a depth of about two feet, and in this it was buried. At seven the Chiltern steamed slowly out to sea, following the track of the Hawk and the line of buoys laid down, paying out the cable slowly as she went. Everything was done in the coolest and most businesslike manner, without noise, bustle, or enthusiasm of any kind. About half•past ten o'clock the Chiltern buoyed her end and fired a gun to shew that the first part of the work was completed, and then steamed back to the harbour, while the Hawk went to and fro to pick up the buoys• again. Between eleven and twelve o'clock there was a little influx of lady and gentlemen visitors from Brest, who had driven out to see the shore end laid. Great was their astonishment and chagrin to find the little creek empty, the shore end laid, and nothing whatever to tell of it beyond the marks of the fresh-turned earth of the trench in which it was buried. It is, on the whole, very fortunate that the work of land. ing and laying this massive portion of the line has been got over so ea-ily and well, for the glass is falling again, and there is every prospect of wind.•' rn - R AMERICAN PRESS AND EXCLISII ACTORS. The Americans are scandalised, or the American Press affects to be shocked, at the doings of English actors in the United States ; and some very strong criticisms have been passed on some of the performances which have taken place in New York and elsewhere. The followine letter on the subject, front Mr. Henderson, who took out the first burlesque troupe to New York, with Lydia Thompson as the chief, appears in the Era :—" A very strange and unwarrantable outrage having been per petrated upon me, and knowing, under the cir cumstances, that very garbled accounts will be sent to England, I think it a duty I owe, not only to myself, but the troupe who are now in this country under my management, to briefly state the following facts :—The Press, upon the advent of the Lydia Thompson troupe, were unanimous in their laudations of the company, the praise almost amounting to fulsome puff. It, however, emanated spontaneously from the Press. The great pecuniary success which attended the Lydia Thompson troupe created no small excitement in England, resulting in a perfect emigration of burlesquers, and now the country is swarming with troupes who are, I believe, scarcely playing to their expenses. This may or may not have been brought about by the unaccountable change that has come over certain portions of the Press, who denounce, in the most unmeasured terms, the influx of English artistes, who, they assert, are a disgrace to the country. By degrees some of the leading journals have taken up the war against the Henglish,' as they call us, and what they oncepronounced a charming and delightful entertainment, i.e., burlesque,' they now stigmatise as demoralising and wicked. So far as my troupe is con cerned, notwithstanding these sledge-hammer attacks, I am pleased to say they have had no effect on our con tinned success. One journal in particular, Wilkes's Spirit of the Times, has, however, gone far beyond all bounds in its bitter animosity to the Henglish.' An article emanat ing from the pen of a Mr. E. H., denounced the English in terms of the greatest bitterness, and asserted that there was a regular clique formed among the managersto crush every American artiste who attempted to go to England. At a supper given on the 100th night of " The Forty Thieves," when there were some 80 or 100 of the profession present, I took occasion to express my sentiments on the erroneous statements made by 1-I,' and stated that American artistes of position and talent would receive a most cordial welcome in England. The remarks made by me were carried to the writer of the article, and in the following week the most outrageous personal attack was made upon me in the columns of that paper. The libel it contained was most bitter and malicious, and I caused my solicitor to formally demand the writer of the article. This met with no other response than a second article of a character similar to the first. On the day upon which the last article was published, after the performance had concluded, and when the house was in darkness, I was accosted by a Mr. George B. Butler, who desired to speak to me, and asked me to ac company him, so that what he had to say might he heard by some witnesses. I consented, and when in the dark with two accomplices, he announced himself as the writer of the article in the Spirit of the Times, at the same time striking me a blow on my temple which com pletely stunned me, and whilst in that state again struck me a second blow on the cheekbone, which has penalised a portion of my face and teeth. Some interference about this time was about to be made in my favour by Mr. Palmer and • the servants of the theatre, when the man (Butler) drew a pistol and threatened to shoot the first person that interfered. Since the assault I obtained a warrant and had him arrested, and a trial will shortly be heard upon the double charge of assault with intent to kill, and libel. I am proud to say that the public sympathy and feeling for me is very great, and I am fain to hope that this anti-English sort of criticism and bitter psrsonal animosity, which at rresent is assuminc , an appearance of positive intimidation, will receive a check."

PARIS. SIINDAT, Jute 20. The Belgian railway affair, after subsiding into a very iesirable obscurity during the election campaign, has again appeared as a prominent part of the politics of the day. It appears, from the accounts of the proceedings given by the official journals, that the business is not making very satisfactory progress. Indeed, judging by the statement in the Public, the difficulty is precisely where it was when the official papers first commenced blustering several months ago. According to the Public, the later delibera tions of the Commission have been devoted to a project submitted by the Belgian Government in some sort, an ultimatum. The French Commissioners, however, declared that they could accept the terms offered by the Cabinet of Brussels, and the Belgian Commissioners were equally positive that they could make no further concessions. In this state of affairs, M. Cornudet, the president of the Commission, proposed that they should draw up a prods verbal, or common note, setting forth their proceedings, and declaring that as they could not come to an agree ment they had considered their business terminated. The suggestion was acted upon, and a note of this kind was drawn up and addressed to the Governments. But at this point the Belgian Ministry got frightened. It did not like this_ peremptory closing of the negotiation. Acting on the sate principle that "it is better to bear the ills we have than to fly to others that we know not of," the " ultimatum" was modified, and new propositions put forth. It is upon this fresh scheme that the commission is now going to work, and the Public hopes that this dis agreeable question will soon be disposed of. Such, however, is not the expectation of the Brussels cor respondent of the Temps, who conceives that this railway business now begins to wear a very ugly aspect. M. de Lavalette, fearing a diplomatic falure as the result of this dispute, speedily washed his hands of it, and turned it over to the Minister of Commerce. The commission has been nominated for more than a month, and it has done absolutely nothing. In the meantime, M. Frere-Orba,n, the head of the Belgian Ministry, has been in communica tion with Lord Clarendon, and relying, this writer thinks, upon the support of the British Foreign Office, the pro posals made by one of the leading men of the interested railway companies—proposals which were accepted by France and Holland—have been rejected by Belgium. The difficulty, so simple at first, has grown so complicated by delay that it is only by some very disagreeable con cessions on the one side or the other that it can 'be settled. The fort at Bleetre has been completely cleared of the numerous lodgers who have occupied it with such unvvil lingness during the last few days. More than 800 have been set at liberty, and the remaining 200, or more, have beenremoved to the Prison de la Sant6, in Paris. Two juges d'instruction are actively employed in collecting and considering the information relative to the destruction of property—seats, kiosks, bill columns and the like—on the boulevards. It was at first thought that a charge of plotting against the State would be substantiated against certain individuals, including, very likely, M. Rochefort, but some high authorities express the opinion that the evidence will not warrant this accusation. The rioters will be proceeded against simply as rioters. A preliminary batch of them were brought up yesterday before the Seventh Chamber. These were some of the minor culprits. They had not smashed any windows, nor knocked down kiosks, nor indulged in any other heroic triumphs of the kind. The charge against them was that of raising seditious cries, and they nearly all pleaded that they were drunk. Sen tences of imprisonment, varying from five days to six months, were inflicted. Some of the English papers have published, I see, accounts of a projected balloon enterprise to the North Pete I The aeronauts wit be exceedingly astonished and Ittle gratified, I should imagine, if they perform such a feat. All they propose to do is to remain in the air fa twenty-four hours, if possible. The Beauffremont divorce case has terminated for the present in the Court ordering the Princess to prove by witnesses some of the facts alleged in her evidence. These facts, if proved, will justify the separation. Amongst the scandalous scenes described was a party given by the Princess to which the Prince came and ordered all the guests to leave if they did not wish to be turned out of loors. By Imperial decree M. Schneider is again nominated President of the Corps Ltgislatif, and MM. Leroux, Terome David, and Du Miral are re-assigned the functions A Vice-Presidents, which they exercised in the last chamber. M. J. David is made Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. This is a fact of some im portance, at least the Liberal journals here put a signifteant interpretation upon it. They regard this fresh distinction conferred upon the most uncompromising of Imperialists as a confirmation of the Mackau letter, as a further indication - of the Emperor's resolve to main tain the status quo. M. de Persigny, however, continues his contest against the Sovereign's present councillors with undiminished zeal. His letter seems to have pleased nobody ; but he writes again to the Con gitutionnel supporting the epistle, and expressing his ntention of maintaining the policy laid down in it. The situation, then, is not a little perplexing. The Emperor's letter to M. Mackau is Plainly enough against reform ; but M. de Persigny writes advocating liberal - ;oncessions, and it is hardly likely that he would reiterate ,his advice if disagreeable to the Emperor. 111,11:KE7 S-7111.5' DA I'.

TRADE AND FINANCE. It is now upwards of three years since the collapse of the " Corner House," and since that event we have passed through an interval of stagnation and depression of trade which is entirely without parallel in the history of all former panics. The timidity which has been exhibited by capitalists during this protracted period is quite as unpardonable as the reckless temerity which characterised the inflation immediately preceding "Black Friday ;" but this affordsus an accurate means of measuring the intensity of the panic that then set in. Without entering into details, our readers are fully aware of the utter suspension of all enterprise and credit that hassince prevailed, and our present purpose is to discover what effect these events at this distant period have had upon the money market. The panic which seized upon all classes naturally led to a complete distrust in all new companies, and especially in those companies which had been started during the period of inflation referred to. The consequence of this complete change of feeling was greatly to depreciate the value of the stock of these institu .;ions, and a large number of shares were thrown upon the market. Many companies succumbed to the pressure, and although in several instances sound concerns were rooted out, it is but too notorious that the greater part if them were in a very unsatisfactory. condition. While capital was withdrawn from such concerns is those referred to, it was necessary to employ :t in some other direction, and, as the number of really safe and unqqestionable investments was very imited, the large demand forced up prices to an excessive sgure. Although the effect of this, from mere lapse of time, has in a great measure passed away from the market, it will be seen, from the statement given below, that guaranteed stocks and really choice descriptions if securities have tended upwards in value, at the .xpense of those of inferior mark. Among those not enumerated may be mentioned the Indian Guaranteed Railways and several colonial stocks, which, although not under imperial guarantee, are considered sufficiently safe as to offer an eligible means of investment. It may be :emarked that in the case of Consols, the comparison is scarcely correct, as in January 1£66 a portion of the new iividend had accrued, while at the present time the quo- At 'sill is made ex div.

Egyptian (1862) Italian Peruvian Spanish Three per Cents.... 43i Turkish Five per Cents. ... 41 A very marked difference is here notice Able in the value of really first-class securities, but it must not be supposed that the irregularity which appears in the value of foreign bonds is attributable to the fact that capital has been withdrawn from that market. On the con trary, an unusually large supply of money has been placed in the hands of speculators for employ ment in the foreign market, and very large amounts of ;hese securities have been locked up under advances from the banks. Whether this description of business falls within the ordinary range of a bank's legitimate opera , ions, we shall not stop to consider, but it is evident that these facilities uphold the very worst description of specu'ations. The variations in foreign securities are l rill :ipally to be ascribed political movements, or to the financial difficulties of 'the States themselves. In irany cases, such as Austria and Italy, an income tax has been imposed, to which foreigners have been made liable, and Spain is evidently about to follow this bad example. While such has been the course of the quotations for foreign bonds, most of the spt cu7ative companies par excellence have been very depressed, and up to this period e spew little prospect of recovery. Annexed is a sta . t went of the past and present position o f the financial companies winch exhibits this fact in a very rmark bl manner. Jan. 1, 18 66 . June 19, 1869. • Paid. Pric £ e. Paid.
