Mg. COBDEN AND FRENCH CLARET& —At the
Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, on Wednesday, the
chairman, Mr. James Richardson, in the course of his
remarks, said—" Last week I had the pleasure of spending
an evening with Mr. Cobden in the house of our deputy-
chairman Mr. Duncan ArLaren. The conversation natu.
rally turned to the French treaty, end be then stated to
me the difficulty of getting good cheap claret in any bonds
you go to is Scotland, and thought it was much to be de-
plored that hotelkeepers did not see it to be their interest
to forward the sale of these lighter wines. is a letter which
I received from Mr. Cobden, his views were expressed in the
following terms The only way in which the connump•
Hon of French wines can be greatly promoted in this country
Is by their being generally Introduced at moderate prior. In
the hotels. In the long run more money is made by selling
low-priced than high•priced articles. This has been proved
by the sale of penny newspaper,, although the trade is
oaly is its latency. The same rule bee held good is Row-
land Hill's postage reform. I wish some measures could be
taken to tempt or shame the innkeepers into the sale of
genuine French wines at moderato prime. The success of
the French treaty greatly depends upon this being done.' "
