THE "LOOMLNOS" OF THE FUTURE.

Mantas Daily Nan.)
TO.DAT a Council is to be held at whisk it is
enderstood the precise liras will he axed for Perlis-
mast to assemble for the trammed= of public busi-
ness. When that point is decided and notified to the
world, we @hall then want to know the date of the
next most important explanation—the revelation of
the government policy. Major lleaseroan spoke
mysteriously about something to be done with the
Cottony; and, seriously enough, at the very time
when a minister I. talking in this way at an Essex
meeting, the egg's of the Tory party is explaining
its views on finance. The Quarterly Review
moots the question of the reduction of the rate of
interest on the Three per Cent. Stock, and comes to
the conclusion that " neither from the price of that!
particular Stock, nor from the general state of the
interest market at this time, dues it appear that a
reduction even to the exteut of one quarter per cent.
could be attempted on any considerable portion of
our debt with a reasonable prospect of success."
Thus the reviewer very unkindly blows away
the mist about one of the looming" prospects of the
CIIANCKLLOR of the EICUEQUER ; and the saving of
2,000,0001., which his friends have announced, turns
out to be the mirage of men famishing. for financial
reputation. No change, says the reviewer, can be
carried out in that large portion ofourdebt, amounting
to three-fourths of the whole, which would have the
effeot of reducing its marketable value below 1001. of
money for the 1001. stock ; or our financier might
find himself in the awkward predicament of being
called on to actually_ pay. off the debt he only pro-
posed to convert. Nor is there at present the least
prucipcct,—with Consols oscillating between 1001 and
100,—that the CUANCELLOIt of the Exalt:trues will
have the least chance of realising his imagined
success. _ .

Gold has latterly gone ip small quantities to Ham-
burg. A general opinion prevails amongst well-in-
formed merchants that tile importation of raw mate-
rials and of corn will now increase, and that the
precious metals will cease to come in more abund-
antly than they will flow out. The lest accounts
from St. Petersburg bring an unfavourable course of
exchange with that city, and the supplies of
gold from that quarter are likely to cease.
Abundant, too, as capital ts, enterprise urine
fast overtaking it; and numerous new banks,
and new railways, and new mining and spin-
ning companies, are brought forward on our Stock-
Exchange; and numerous speculative undertakings
abroad discountenance the expectation that capital
will increase in relative abundance, and that tho rate
of profit and of interest will speedily sink still
further. The great increase in the quantity of cotton
imported lot year from the United States to the con-
tinent of Europe,-37 per cent., while the increased
imports to kngland were less than 18 per
cent.,—the activity at present of the cotton
and silk manufactures on the continent, where

they are new okietly impeded by the silty I
negetiatiaseof the German Princes about renewing
the Zollverein, the somplaint of a scarcity of work-
men in Paris, all enure us that the demand for
capital is incressiag, and for the present likely to
mareses. Enterprise seems destined for some time
to awe to obtain, in peace, its expected reward, and
therefore will be extended, increasing the demand
for capital.
That very increase of gold which many believed
must lower the rate of interest is likely to have a very
different effect. What men want to b wrow at all times,
and really borrow, are articles of subsistence and cloth-
ing, tools, instruments, and raw materials ; the gold
or its representative credit being only borrowed as
the means of obtaining a command over these use-
ful articles. The discoveries of gold, which are to
add to its increase, are now promoting a great deal
of enterprise. in various parts of the world. The
networons emigrants goine out require a great many
Mob and conveniences, and accordingly the Birming-
hma and other hardware manufacturers are u fully
=as they can be. To carry them and their
goods more ships are required, and ear
ahnat roust ars fully employed at improved
M *sight: We ace this more by the in-
creased smionst of tonnage in the navigation returns
ban by the nuessed number of ships and seamen,
showing that while our navigation is increasing we
are employing larger and better ships sailed at a less
cost. These emigrants not only require large outfits.,
bet must hereafter create a greater demand fee
oar manufactures. In consequence of the inemantal
trade now everywhere promoted by a great imersms
of enterprise in any one part of the world, a greet
stimulus is given to present and future production in
England. All our manufacturers are well employed
and likely to be well employed. The discoveries al
gold then, and its increasing quantities, have by their
own nature a stimulating effect on enterpriser—even
a large additional demand for all the commodities
man really borrow,—and tend therefore to increase
the demand foe capital, and to keep up • fair rate of
interest. Coming too at a time whoa all Europe is
very intently engaged in getting wealth by honest
means,and when improvements in our commercial laws
have removed many impediments to enterprise, the
stimulus they are giving, and will give, Meaty great,
and will lead probably almost every where to a very
large increase of business.
We must not at the same time forget that at
sent the hand of the labourer,—from the beaeflcial
change which Free-trade and these discoveries sus-
bitted have made in the old relation between mote
and labour,—is comparatively dear; and the rho of
labour being a material element in the enrstatioas
of profit, Its high price tends to dusk materiel&

vehement and vituperative writing on loth dhow—
*very parson most bo gratified at the improved value
of labour, though its results should be to lamp profit
and enterprise. We, however, do not believe it will
lessen the ono or the other. It is very quietly sad
very effectively raising the condition of the
labouring
olsosso—an end which the most phibinthrro
oar species have laboured for many years to mom-
risk without much oneness. With their dwell=
their skill has increased and is increasing, and their
labour is becoming more reductive to thmolvas
and to society, if not, as we believe—notwithstand-
ing the larger share they receive al the priminsa—
more profitable to their employers. Wean net Wined
to think, therefore, that the Increased rate of wars,
—carrying with it a great improvement in the audi-
tion of the working population, and increasing the
number of ontsrposing and speculative men,—will
teed to give say cheek to esteems,. At any rats, it
bee not yet bed say each eau, and will not, most
certainly, for some time to aims.
Tho larger share of tie prams which the lap
bearer wt 4 resoivo as long as his services aro so
much in demand, is snore likely to giro enterprise a
new direction than lessen its amount. It will—
when we get the law put on a proper footing—tend
towards establishing companies oa the en commandite
principle, and towards carrying on many under-
takings for the common advantage of all persons
necessary to their success. Without diminishing, but
more likely increasing, natural profit, or the excess in
value of any production over the cost of producing, it
will be an equitable distribution of profit amongst
the producers, and leave less for the dunes not
strictly necessary to production. If amongst them
may be included the mere owners of capita, by in-
creasing the rewards of the actual producers, it will
be mon likely to stimulate than to deaden exertion.
Whatever may be the effect on the owners of money
of such a large addition to the stock of their peculiar
commodity, it will increase enterprise and not lower
profit. The discoveries of gold, like inventions in
the arts, and like improvements in agriculture, are
to be classed with then circumstances which
are described by Mt. RICARDO as arising every
now and then to check the downward tendencies of '
profit, and they will have the reverse effect from
lowering still further the rate of interest. They
supply no ground, therefore, for settling the question
of the CHANCELLOR'S almost promised reduction of
the rate of interest on the national debt, except the
floating debt. The deduction confirms the reviewer's
remark, " that we must look to the crpassion of our
trade, to the increasing commerce tf the-world, to the
rapid growth of our colonies," in order to "reap the
fruits of the latest gift of Providence." For a Jour-
nal that undertakes to champion the Protectionist
r easse, the doctrines of the Quarterly are very strange,
' but to us, Free-traders,— particularly his recommends-
, tion to fix our hopes on the increasing commerce of
theworld,—theyarepeculiarlysatisfactory. But surely
at such a time 719 c1ia2i9X1.1.94 91 the 414,31FA1VE1l

Major BIIIIII7OID must sorely be WICSE. If he is

atom tin anulet that the church of England recommends

the imemeleasse of individuals. And such has been my
promise. 1 Mrs not taught it as • duty. I have
not brought or trained persons to look on it as • " regu-
lar observance, or • part of the ordinary discipline of
a Christian lite ;" but, on the other band, I am not aware
of any statement of the church of England which would
justify me as one of her ministers in refusing to receive per-
sons who desire of their own accord, or, I may add, by the
advice of their parents or guardians, to come to me regu-
lsrly for Ws purpose. I repeat, my lord, f have not en-
forced or taught this poems es • part of my ordinary
teichiug, but I have also not felt myself at liberty to rejoin
there who did think they found it useful as au habitual
practice, and desired on that account to use it as such.
I venture reepectfully to put this case to your lordship
(which, I may add, is nut an imaginary one) :-Bupposiag
a person to come to me, at his own particular request, se-
vere: times in the course of the year for confession, have I
any authority from the church of England to refuse to re. I

upon the person the necessity of private sel6examanation
and repentance, but that he still urges that he ands confes-
sion a great help sad means of grace, and presses on me my
obligation to receive him, is it your lordship's opinion that
I should be authorised by the church of Eugland (whatever
my own private opinions minht be) to rejectsuch person /
submitting this case for your lordship's considera-
tion, I would humbly venture to remind your lordship that
there are many persons in tee church of England who
deeply value private contention as • means of race, and
who use it regularly as such, and that it would be a great
shock to their minds to be deprived of it. For my own
pert I would not dare to do so, uuless I had noise must in-
disputable authority to bear me out in so doing. I would
also venture to suggest that the cooecienees at those who
use private confession, and are in the constant habit of that
self-examination which it involves, become more alive to
the guilt of tin, and that even if they do not relapse at
times into their old sins, they yet look on other minor sins
as of a serious nature. There are, my lord, penmen who,
from • constant habit of self-examination and salf-sccusa-
Cum, find that eery frequently their wasseiesce Is burdened
with weighty matters, which bring then radar the class
welled in the exhortation to comae nion. Does the church of

With ransom to year lordship's remarks is my Trea-

your lordship's sentiments as bearing on the subject of pri.

it my duty folly to have expressed those sentiments, but I
was only quoting to support of my argument of the entire
liberty which the church of England gives her children, to
use this means of grace whenever their spiritual necessities
required it. On this point I trust I was not unfairly claim-

prohibits your receiving to confession those who tomb it as
an habitsal ?notice, I do not presume to prohibit your
doing roe. 'Dm church seems to ens to discourage such •
practice ; therefore I should endeavour to dissuade one
who mme to me in pummel* of the practice from persist-
ing to &elm it. If 1 had sufficient reason to believe that
he had not endeavoured honestly and earnestly to quiet his

Sia,—A member of • freehold lead society at
Southampton claimed to have his name pet cm the register
to vote. Evidence was given to show that the piece of land
on which the claim to vote was made was bought and paid
for before the 31st of January last. One of the most emi-
nent land surveyors in Southampton swore that the land
was honestly worth 31. 3e. a year, and that he himself would
give that sum for it if it was for sale. It was proved also
that the land was leased for a thousand years from May
lost, at a rental of 41. per annum. The Revising Banister
decided against the claim, because, although the land has
been worth 41. a year since May, there was no proof, ho
thought that it was worth suck a aum previous to that
period. The evidence of the laud surveyor went fur nothing.
Surely we an entitled to have persons of competent ability
to undertake the duties of Revising Barristers.

LONDON (WATFORD) SPRING WATER
COMPAZfir.

A general meeting of the shareholders of this
orameny was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, to
naive the report of the directors, and for the general bind-
seas of the oompany.
Mr. Horn presided, end, having addressed the sharehold-
ers called upon the secretary to reed the report, which, after
detailing the parliamentary proceedings on the London (Wat-
, ford) Spring Water Company's bill of last maim, stated
that the deposit paid on the 12,387 shares subscribed for
would be returned minus lls. 6d. per share for expenses.
It proceeded to say :—" The expenses would have bees moth
greater, if various scientific and other persons had not
tendered a large amount of voluntary support. It is anti-
cipated that the expeuditure of labour and mosey already
incurred, will have the effect hereafter of materially facilt.
teeing the progress of the bill through parliament. Under
the misting law, it is impossible to carry the company for-
ward without commodes the preliminary parliamentary
proceedings de Nero ; but the shareholders can do this if
they see fit, and renew their application fir en Act in the
ensuing session. Your director., in conclusion, hive to
state, that their opinion is unchanged as to tho advantsges
likely to result from the establishment of this company, and
the carrying out of the undertaking, which they believe
would materially conduce to the comfort, and to maintain
the health of the inhabitants of London."
The financial account, which was also read, showed
receipts 17,0321. 2s. ed.—being the deposit of 275. 6d. per
share of :12,387 abates; expellees, 7,1221. 10.. ; leaving
a balance in hand of 9.9691. 125., equal to 16s. per share.
The report was adopted unanimously, as was • vote of
thanks to the chairman and his co-directors for their
exertions._

Resolutions were subsequently passed dissolving the com-
pany, and constituting it anew uuder the same manage-
ment ; it being however explained by the chairman, in
answer to a question hum a proprietor, that any shareholder
who might be averse to joining in the new company would
have his IGs. per share returned.
Sir It. Pules, who acted as chairman of the new coin-
, pony (Mr. Hope having intimated that not being now in
parliament, end intending to travel on the continent, he
should not be able to take so prominent a part in the bui-
-1 nese as he had dune, but was prepared as a shareholder or
o director to promote the interests of the company in every
way he could). stated that be had been induced by the
prospect of public good to take part in the direction of the
company, which had been just dissolved, but had found
more labour was required, and that greater risk and more
difficulties had to be met than be had anticipated—but he
believed they had been beaten, not because of the weakness
of their cause, but by a combination of circumstances which
11 bad placed insurmountable obstacles in their way. He was
quits willing to take part in the company just constituted,
and to try his best to carry out its objects. Ile had very
little doubt that they would succeed in carrying their
bill, and in that case they would be in a position to take
credit to themselves as being the first company which gave
the public an ample supply of that great necessary of life—
water from the purest source. (Cheers.)
Mr. Hunneuaw, the enrineer, spoke of the ample
quantity, and on the authority of Drs. ltedforth and Lan•
kaster of the superior purity of the water obtained from the
chalk formations of Hertfordshire and its neighbourhood,
u to he supplied from the Watford springs, and expressed
his opinion that the new comrany, when its works were in
operation, would pay its shareholders 10 per cent., charging
one-third the rates charged by the West Middlesex
Company.
After a vote of thanks to the new chairman, the meeting
separated.
