As regards the flank of England the state of
the reserve has been 'pacified, since the fluctua-
tions in this amount have the strongest influence
upon the course of our trade. No such item
appears in the accounts of thu Bank of France,
the state of the circulation being uncontrolled by
law. The effect of this difference will be readily
understood by those who have carefully examined
the currency system of the two countries. On the
present occasion, for instance, it is evident
that the Bank of France has been able to satisfy
a demand that the Bank of England was obliged
to resist by raising the rate of discount to the ab-
normal point of seven per cent., or two per cent.
higher than in Paris. The decrease in the bullion
of nearly three millions at the Bank of France has
not been attended with one-tenth of the inconve-
nience to trado that has beon experienced by a
falling-off of less than three-quarters of • million
here. The reason is obvious. In France, as we
have said, the money market is left to adjust
itself ; in England • paternal system of legislation
is adopted, on the assumption that our highest
clam of traders are so unfitted to conduct ordinary
business, that the more they are fettered the
better.

FOIZION TOMO!.
The extraordioary faros of a Fenian government, iocludiog
a president, cabinet, senate, and house of representatives,
which is mentioned in the American newt, is ridiculed by
the Times, which cautions the new body, however, against
proceeding so far as to issue, es they threaten to do, letters
of marque and strengthen the army in Ireland
by a desk movement against Canada. The Army
rim government, the Times says, has made so secret of
its intentions to maintain tho law.
If we were as familiar with the affairs of our oolooles u
with those of countries in which we dam no peculiar title,
we should have been aware, the Daily News says, that a
strong feeling of nominees existed in Jamaica. Two defects
which, awarding to impartial peewee, have caused great die-
°anteater:long the negroire seethe neglect by the legislature
in all the laws that are made of the 'statute of the Degrees
and the want of satisfactory tribunals for the settlement of
ordinary disputes between employer and employed. The
Degrees, it is mail, have no confident* In the local courts as
now constituted, but the planters have refused to have
stipendiary magistrates, and have determinedly left the
local administration of justice either In their own hands
or in those of persons attached to their cause. Thus are
100111/ of the points which will have to be considered by the
imperial government and by the public, whatever may be
the character of the news by the next mail
The Daily News refers to the final documents which have
been published connected with the fatal march from Mhow,
as disclosing a ems of the grossest injustice. The autho-
rities, it seem; one and all blame Gaunt Gnu for not
having taken upon himself the responsibility of disobeying
the orders conveyed him from army head-quarters—orders!
so clear and explicit that it would have been a most grave
military offence fur the officer commanding at Mhow even I
to question, far more not to obey than. It in to Colonel
Phayre, the quartermaster-general In the Bombay army, or'
to some of the subordinates in his office, that the whole
fault is to be attributed.
The Herald antieipatea a very pretty quarrel, soil per-
haps a succession of very awkward scandals from the late
exhibition amongst the Ineithilling Dragoons, still quar-
tered at Mhow. In the opinion of the Herald, Colonel
Crawley is the person mainly responsible for the inischief.
Half the scandals which disgrace the army, are due, it
says, to the interference of military authority in purely
amid matter.
The Herald points to the present condition of the lonian
Islands, as justifying its original erasure of the scheme of
surrendering the protectorate. Everything in the islands is

The Times attributes to the force of its censure,
the sonternplation of further ministerial changes, sod
particularly the resignation of the Duke of Somerset,
who has token t►i. step in order that the process
of "remmustruction " may be rendered at once more
sexy, and more constitutional "We are glad," says
the Times, "that our observations have awakened snob a
manifestation of genuine English spirit. It is our habit
end the secret of oar streogth to umiak freely of oar rulers.
We matter praise and blame roughly, bat honestly ; we
admonish and we reprove ; and we do en not only for the
correctioo of those who are the immediate subjects
of criticism, but also for the public good.'• It will not
be sufficient, however, to snatch a young man from below
the gangway and tarn him into an noder-secretary or a
civil lord. A trustworthy vote may be got by such a pro-
our, bat nothing more can possibly be secured. If froth
mea of ability are to be brought io so as to have some in.
Mance on the house, they must have phases of real impor-
tance, if not places of the first rank. It is tram that whirs
grow robust in the bracing air of opposition, and the fact
may console us for their exit, but if they are wise they
will leant to be strong without undergoieg so painful an
ordeal.
The Peet continues to interpret Mr. Gladetooe's Glasgow
speeches es moaning that the Government declines to take
the initiative in proposing electoral reform. The
question cannot be consistently or safely forced, and
to call upon the ministers of the Crown to exert
all their official i o &mime for sub a purpose
organs an entire forgetfulness of the first principles of
constitutional government.
"An M.P. from the North" writes to the Star:—"Mr.
Bright ought certainly to be asked to join the government.
He is the most eminent reformer in parliament, and the one
whom the people most trust and honour. As respects the
offios of Secretary of State for India, I think Lord
Stanley is the best qualified man in the house ; sad
next to him Mr. Bright. As Lord Stanley will not
aeoept raffia, from the liberal party Mr. Bright may
be said to be the beat qualified member on the
liberal side. But soother arrangement might be made. It
is understood that Mr. Millie, Gibson would always have
preferred being one of the secretaries of state to being Pte.
sidsut of the Board of Trade. Let him, thee, be appointed
secretary of state, in place of one of ' the lords ;' and let
Mr. Bright go to the Board of Trade, for which he is
admirably qualified. Both men would work harmoniously
in harness together in the cabioot, as they did for many
years in the house ; and they would take care that the MusD
DI reform should net be betrayed in the cabinet by its pro-
fessed friends." Other correspondents of the same paper
—"A Whig," and "A City Merchant "—also urge upon the
Premier the duty of inviting Mr. Bright to enter the cabinet.

MR. GLADSTONE'S ADDREsS TO TER EDINBURGH UM'
Without the "least wish to criticise," the Times lays it
should have substituted " ancient civilisation," er some
larger expression for " Greece," in the thesis of the Ad-
dues of Mr. Gladstone to the Edinburgh students, and
would rather have avoided the premiume given in the
argument to the mythology and sculpture of the Greeks.
Justice should be gives to the mythology of the other Euro-
pean same, especially of the Nortbmeo. Beauty, ma-
inly, visible power, are the attributes upon which the
question seems to turn in the gamy, and they give to Greece
not only the pre eminence, but even an exclusive positioo.
For "perfect man," the "divine man," the "human
deity" that shall really combine both natures, we
must go to the Greek poet or sculptor. Elsewhere
are genii, wizards, demons, formless figure', standing for
nothing but names, or the mere rude representation of
elemental forces. But io Gums is enthroned beauty, the
thing that we must love, and even worship in due fashion.
This is the actual tradition which has performed so great •
part in the history of the world, and which Mr. Gladstone
regards as eashriniag from en unknown age, may-be from
the first household itself, the great doctrine of the incarna-
tion. Without wishing to dispute a single statement, or
to alter one word as it stands, the Times would rather lay
that European civilisation has enshrined from the beginning
the divinity of man, and a special relation to the Supreme
Being, placing him infinitely above the rest of the creation.
The Daily News thinks the adders far more than en
additional instance of that love of scholarship which has
given employment to the leisure hours of so many English
statesmen; it burr with remarkable eppositansse upon two
different ekesas of fears which are expressed about its
author. It affords conclusive evidence that Mr. Gladstone
is not of that school of economic Radicalism of which the
characteristic weakness is its low estimation of the pan,
and it may be commended to the carotid attention of those
who fear Mr. Gladstone as • High Churchman, whose
