LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 3.
THERE are four great objects at present to be kept
in view by every liberal English statesmen.
The first, and though we put it first it is that
which least occupies the minis of men, is the maints.
Rance of a liberal domestic policy, emancipating and
rendering fit for emancipation by increased comforts,
independence, and education, the lower classes of the
empire, so as not merely to produce a greater MIN of
liberty, but of security alto, with the elements and
results of a genuine and free representative system.
The second aim is to give throe and constancy to
the government to persevere in a liberal commercial
eystem, and thus to endow the industrious with means
of subsistence and scope fcr exertion, rendering the
English arm as free u the English mind.
These two are but the development of principles
lag admitted and acted upon, and which are almost
able to make their own way and 'sustain their own
mum by the daily experience of the good molts
already obtained from them.
The third is something more novel,and requiringfar
greater and more sustained efforts to expound, to far-
ther, and to make it triumphant. It is no ieee than a
complete revolution in our system of foreign and colo-
nial policy. And as upon the accomplishment of this
revolution depends a fourth and all important
aim, the introduction of a new, more equable,
and more economical financial system, quite
impossible, if our foreign and colonial po.
boy continues to follow its old course, the
most important part of any debate that can arise,
is decidedly the nature of this foreign and colonial
Policy, the mode of regarding which is henceforward

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY, 6.30 P.Y.
The Minister of Finance presented him project of
law on the extension of the paper circulation of the
bank, which would be authorised to issue notes to the
amount of 550 millions. The project was referred to
a comuittee._ _ -
-- _ _ _ _ _

He was followed at the tribune by M. Damu, who
presented the projet de loi on pensions to the aged.
This project of law is the very one which has been
creating attention, as I have intormed you. M. Pascal
Dupont asked whether the project of law had been
submitted to the council of state; thus raising the
constitutional question previously urged in the case of
the law on public instruction. The minister said that
it would not be submitted to the council of state,
it being considered as an amendment to the project of
law already submitted to a committee. The object
government bad in view was to avoid delay, and
therefore be asked that the natter should be exa-
mined d'srgemee. M. Bertha opposed this course, con-
sidering, übe did, that the law on which the at-
tention of the Assembly was now called was of too
gnat importance to allow of its passing after one de-
bate only. The matter was declared urgent, how-
ever, and the project of law referred to the committee
already engaged on the question.

It his been hinted that after the revolution of Fe-
bruary, 1848, the cabeset-noir had been re-established
—that is, that the authorities amused themselves in
Orahamising the lettere that passed through their
hands. A cue which is reported to me shows that
the practice still exists. A letter was sent to an em-
busy here containing a document inside to which re-
ference was made in the body of the letter. When the
letter reached ita destination, the document was no

longer inside; and it was foitsd, on inquiry, that the
document in question had been mat off to another
embassy, from which it was subsequently obtained.
Theo facts are vouched far by competent authority,
and would tend to show that the cabinet noir of the
Paris post•office is still in existence.

TI7I3IILT, 11 A.Y.
The Conetitutionnel denies this morning, in an
ahaoet official manner, that any differences of opinion
have existed in the ministry with regard to the pro.
jest of law on pensions which was presented yesterday.
The Planet states that the resignations of General
its Lamorieiere and M. de Beaumont have b:en
accepted, and their 111CC4110311 will be appointed at
one of the Brat cabinet councils.
MM. Cremieux, Michel (ds Bourget), and Jules
Fevre, representatives of the people, and the other
advocates engaged in the defence of the prisoners of
Versailles, are cited to appear on the 6th of
December before the Council of Discipline of the
Order of Advocates, to answer for their conduct in
protesting against the decision of the High Court and
abandoning the defence of the prisoners.
Letters from Athens of the Bth inst. announce the
dissolution of the Greek Chambers, and the convect,-
. lion of a new parliament for the 22nd December.

' erste have formed an Electoral Committee, of which

MONEY MARKET.

THIIIIIDAT iTZWINO.
This has been a day of great heaviness in the
English funds. Notwithstanding better quotations
of the French Brutes from Paris in the advice.

received this morning, and the absence of any politi-
cal feature calculated to throw a depre dug
influence
upon the market, Consols have exhi much weak-
ness ; they opened at 921, were afterwards done at
921, and gradually dwindled to 92 to 921, at which
eEseheguer Bills and India Bonds maintain their
firmness; and June Exchequer Bills were quoted at
48s. pm., and India Bonds at 58e. pm., at the clone of
business.

In Bank Stock and India Stock no bargains were
dons to-day, but prices continue to be quoted as yes.
terday.
In the foreign market there was the same dulness
in almost all the different securities. Mexican Bonds
fell to 30 to : the complicated arrezgements regard-
ing the payment of an advance on the dividend due
January 1947 Reposed by the agents of theMexiean
government having evidently met with no favour by
the dealers, Peruvian Bonds, Venezuela Bonds, Buenos
=end Brazilian Bonds, were entirely neglected.
Bonds were done at 91 ex div. ; Equador at
13! J and Dutch Two-end-a-half per Cents. at 501.
la consequence of the observance of to-morrow as
a holiday the business in the foreign exchanges was
transacted to-day. The following are the negotia-
tions quoted : On Amsterdam, 12.21 to 21 (at short,
12.0} to 1); on Rotterdam, 12.21 to 3; on Antwerp,
25.70; an Hamburg, 13 12 to 121; on Frankfort,
1211 to ti
_on Paris, 26.47} to 60 (at short, 25.271 to
30); on Marseilles, 26.60 to 66; on Genoa, 27; on
IViennii and Trieste, 11.33 to 35; on Leghorn, 33.60
Ito 34; on Naples, 401; on Madrid, 481 to 49; on
Lisbon
.(90 days), 63;--all at three months except es
otherwise expresead.
The Easter holidays and the holidays of the Jews
will necessarily circumscribe business on the Stock
Exchange for the next four or five days; but it is
hoped that with a more settled political aspect of
strain on the continent, and the bane of the quarterly
&Abode nut week, the market will open with
musk ealivity en the resumption of bagmen. It in
awls:steed that the quarterly returns of the ravens
to be made up to-day will be of a very satisfactory
charestvg,

Tbiftmals of gold to which we alluded yester-
day as forward to America will doubtless pre-
pare the pine for a diminution of the stook of
bullion in the returns of the Bank of England this
week. Bet with so large a stook of unemployed
notes it is not to be supposed there wilt be any dis-
turbing influence on the money market produced by
thirraireanutance at present.

Large quantities ofgrain have recently been imported

with cargoes amounting to 16,000 quarters of wheat,
16,000 of oats, and 11,000 of beans and peas. In
former times such arrival' would have been regarded
as synonymous with the downfa'l of BINA 41g:imi-

while Leith Harbour is Med with foreign grain, the
rents in the neighbourhood are rising. Severs' farms
in the Lothians have been let on nineteen years'

from the decreased breeding of stock, are falling. Near
Edinburgh the fall has been 5 per cent., and in the

OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM

READING.
Reading is one of the few towns which has
been neither directly nor indirectly affected by
the Reform Act. Whilst !fflerything else in the
place has changed. it remains electorally in almost
every respect the 141110 as it was 30 or 40 years back.
The political feelisg of the town is the same; the eye-
tem en which its elections are conducted is the same;
the boundaries of the borough remain unchanged ; the
voters are, strange to say, nearly as parable the same
numerically; and certainly the corruption of the place
has not been in the least degree affected. The men
have changed, but nothing else.
Reading was a scot and lot borough before the
Reform Act; and it always bad the reputation of
being an expensive one. Political parties in the
town were stated to a parliamentary committee in
1841, to be as nearly as partible equally divided. It
was the Name years ago. Taking the Headirg elec-
tions from the commencement of the present century,
it is quite carious to remark how the majorities have
all along approximated to those of the present day.
The members elected, too, have always been pre-
ferred for their local connexion. Every candidate
from a distance, whatever his public fame and merit,
is subject to a disadvantage. There seems to be
no particular reason for this ; but it always has been
so—the choice of the Reading people invariably
falls ea Be:WAN men. Mr. Shaw Lefevre, the
father of the pree.entp22er, represented the town
in several snecamave
He • parliaments up to 1820, and was
retired in that year, and Mr.
IhrilVey.Muselt, of Coley Park, near Reading,
wee selected as his soccemor. As every election from
this period has its indirect bearing on the present
state ci the town, it may be, worth while reeordine,
briefly, the polls as far back so 1818. In that year
the numbers were :

4dvestures of a Modica: Student. By ROBBILT DouoLue,
Burgeon. with a Memoir of the Life of the Author.
',intim: William Term

There are few positions in life which afford such
favourable opportunities for gaining an intimate
knowledge of human nature as that of the medical
man ; yet pe-haps we are less indebted to the medi-
al profession than to any other class for our imagi-
native literature. Whether the peculiar studies and
tastes cultivated by those educated for medical prac-
tice, or the exermse of their profession itself have
anything to do with this, we must leave, but
it is most certain that, compared with the
opportunities they have of observing deeply
human nature in all its various aspects, in espe-
cially its darker and more sorrowful shades, the
medical profession hays dons less than any other for
making us acquainted with human life. We do not
bring this as a charge against those who practise the
healing art, for we feel that their absence from the
walks of imaginative literature may depend more on
their peculiar position than any want of power. Nor
must we forget, after all, how much the classical lite-
rature of our country is indebted to Akeuaide, Arm-
strong, Darwin, and others who have, while pm-
tieing medicine as a means of live:ihocd, obtained
through their imaginative works an undying reputa-
tion. Mack of the experience also which gives so
much vividness to the pictures of Oliver Goldsmith
and Tobias Smollett was derived from the practice of
medicine as a profession in the early part of their
liver.
In these " adventures" we have the record of an

experience which is almost entirely medical, and en-
fortuately confined to that period of life which
levees melmicholy signifisance to the term "student,"
for their author died at the early age of twesq-
four. The memoir of him, which is prefixed to tali
volume, presents few incidents of general interest ;
and the various distinct tales of which the adventures
*mist afford probably a better notion of the man in
his inner life than the biographer's account of him

With a system already overtaxed by the efforts hei
