No. 82.] LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 4, 1846.

proved, the expenditure has progressed at a still greater
rate, so that at the present time the treasury is largely in
debt, notwithstanding a loan of considerable amount, which
the Finance Minister managed to obtain recently from cer-
tain capitalists, to meet the most pressing rants.' It is only
necessary to reflect upon the profuse expenses of two royal
merriages, the necessity of payi^g tip at least one portion of
the Infenta's fortune (shout 250,0001. in the whole), into
the eager bands of Louis Philippe, and the never.cessing
prodigal demands upon the treasury of Queen Maria Christina,
with a rising progeny of Munoses to provide for as
grandees of the first class, if not admitted to be of
the blood royal, in order to understand the desolate state
to which the exchequer must be reduced. The loans
repeatedly and lately raised at home, must, and will be
provided for before foreign debts can be taken into con-
sideration at all. Those loans aro secured upon special
branches of revenue, and state monopolies; therefore, they
absorb revenue till paid off. It scmetimcs happens, more-
over, that Spanish Finance Ministers may have reasons of
their own fur clearing off tko loans so raised at home.

The market is steady, but with little actirity•Of
business in general. Shrewsbury and liirmingbams continue
to be well supported on the strength of the understanding
that the line is to be purchased by the North Western.
North Staffordshires are heavy, and not quite so good in
price. East Indians have been more freely dealt in, and
are reported with a trifling improvement. In many oldie
other liner, which latterly have been the more favourite
objects of speculation or investment, the market shows a
ten lency to flag.
