I the liberals owe it to themselves and to their country
to perform their political duties in an enlarged and
zealous spirit. The representation of Ireland in par-
liament most be improved by the infusion of new
members, in whom the public of both countries will
have confidence, and to whom Ireland can look with
respect and pride. "The greatest of all reforms," it
has been written, " is that which people can work
upon themselves.•

THE easy condition of some of the continental
money markets, as compared with that of London, is a
DO less singular fact than that the Emperor of RCEPTA
should have the power of rescuing a great commercial
nation from imminent danger. We have reason to
believe that on the same day when the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHP.C/OER raised the rate of interest on the
Exchequer Bills, good acceptances were discounted at
Frankfort at 31, to 4 per cent per annum. That
an abundance of coin has shown itself, especially in
Germany, is certain, and this has excited no
little surprise. We have heard it accounted for in
various ways. The high prices have brought largo
and small hoards into circulation, which, in a country
in which banking is almost exclusively resorted to by
the commercial class, form a large mass of coin.
Again, the check given to foreign trade by the general
despoiidency and fear of the future, has abstracted
from the usual channels sums which these would
otherwise absorb. The moment is thus favourable for
renewing an operation which was attempted with
partial swam in 1825 and 1826. We believe that
in those years of panic, the leading house at Frank-
fort undertook th furnish the Bank of England
with hellion to the amount of ten millions sterling.
The whole sum was, we believe, not raised oa that
occasion, for the trading world, although much
deeper involved in speculations of long return than
now, was yet not crippled in its financial movements
SA it is at present. Things righted themselves, there-
fore, sooner than they are now likely to do. If we
are rightly informed, the same manceuvre is now to
be resorted to, and a quantity of bullion is to be ab-
stracted from circulation on the continent, in order to
swell the ostensible stock of the Bank of England.
There is no country in which the value of commerzial
credit is not well enough understood to make every
one desirous of supporting the tone of the English
money market which has hitherto given a lead to the
whole trading world. With good quotations from Lo-
ndon, confidence rallies, as despondency spreads, when
the English market is paralysed. We anticipate,there-
fore, no direct objection to the flow of bullion in this
direction, as indeed coin has at all times shown itself
lees subject to legislative control than credit, which
is at the mercy of nearly all who desire to destroy it.
As, however, it is the credit enjoyed by our merchants
in foreign states which has given us this hitherto un-
rivalled position, and as reasonable men care far more
about the maintenance of this credit than about sup-
ply inn the Bank with gold, the prospect of a future
curtailment of the confidence hitherto manifested in
our commercial skill is not removed by the present
expedient. A frequent interruption of the flow of
trade causes it to seek new channels. What must be
the thoughts of all shippers of goeds,whose oonsignees
are obliged to sacrifice their tenet to meet maturing
acceptances? What are the German houses to do.
whose orders for twist having first been checked by
the interference of their own governments, are
further hampered by the check imposed on manufac-
turing as a result of our legislative wisdom? The
producer and the consumer are both there. link

It is because the gold of the Bank is no thermometer
of credit, that trade will not resume its mune with
the appearance of coin. The trade of England hos—
until it was reduced to its present unnatural depen-
dear* on the precious metals—been at all times un-
shackled by their fluctuations. We are told that
what is wanted is a return of confidence. It is ditlit
cult to see where commercial confidence is to cam

the merchant is to make his own calculations, or
ministers are to make them for him. If the-biter

The Paris journals of Wednesday are chiefly mem
pied with comments on the discussion in the 'Member
of Peers reletive to the Chapter of St. Denis. After
the speak ef M. Hebert, mays the Cheerier .&angais,
thanks to his usual impetuosity,no doubts can be now
entertained as to the true motives of the bill in queue-
den. It is nothing less than an attempt towards a
formal return to the ideas of the oncien regime : it is
stillto be seen if so strange a restoration can be brought

of Peers to carry on the investigations relative
to the proceedings instituted against General
Cubieres are Incessant in their labors. Two
searches have been made in the bum of

General Cubidree is said to have notified that if this
was the case, he should feel it incumbent upon himself,

pletely restored from his late indisposition.
In consequence of the arrests we mentioned yester-
day, of cassia individuals in Paris accused of fabri-
cating incendiary projectiles, it seems, itemrdlng to

SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF SIXTY LIVES:
On the 9th of April, at eight o'clock in the evening,
the French brig La CUrima, of Graavale, having ea board
69 passengers, and a crew of 11, was lost on the Plulibert
rocks, in one of the entrances to the harbour of Bt. Pierre,
Newfoundland. The brig had missed the aouth.emat panne
into the harbour, having been driven to windward.
The riolanos of the waves was such as to preclude the possi-
bility of any assistance from the colonists. The number of
victims amounts to slaty.—Conslieurionnel.
