FRUITS OF FREE TRADE AND THE NAVI•
OATION LAWS.

(From the Marathoner Guardian.]
Annagst the arguments reed against the repeal of
the aeon laws, oar reader will sot tail to remember one,
wilds wee paraded la float by every speaker and welter on
*Mae of the queetion, namely, that the hes importatva
cog wgl~s eristmodides, and especially of forage grain, would
y drain the country of its stock of the proton me-
ld.. Tereigreen, it was alleged, would all require payment
Inme; and mar system of currency, founded epos the pus
sof an adequate suck of gold by the Bank of Eng-
land, wadi Inevitably be overturned. Well ! we have
sow had some little ezperienc• of free trade—under
which, WS tong to a deficient harvest. and an sites-
sive deetethliea of the potato crops, the isnot" of grain
have bees kage—ory much larger, indeed, than those
imports whisk in termer years, when made under a system
of rearietiewa 'many disturbed the forage exchanges, and
hammed the meths if the arosey is this eosatry. But
do we win= Igaigheins of that drain of geld which wee
noting as the feennale result of free trade ? Quite the
000trare. Derli.g the whole of oar heavy imparts gold bas
been poetise into the country ; the stock of bullion in the
Bank of England has been steadily animating; sad, In-
stead of any "special drain from hence to the oseatriss from
which we dative our supplies of grain, we fed that the
merainate of the United States are 'biotin geld to Eng-
land at a rate which has drawn forth semolina of alarm—
whether reasseizetended, we will net amilenthe to dater-
mine—trona r meetings in that eseatey.
Of course aewspapers which polkaed that allow gold
world be abstraseed in maim for liseelga gran an sow io

they will not be overlooked by say ef them is whom that or
any other prediction put forth by the seam parties had in-
spired &ales as so the safety of themselves/es which have
been mostly aloud in oar oommerial
With the view of "klieg is re-aseariag reAllit mind on
thienapertant subject, we beg to mil the attestion of our
readers to the following extract (SOUL the semtmeatltly de-
aths of Messrs. Edward Klan sad SI Liverpool,
dated the 17th lest., In referee's to the appeeirthiag rad-
aation of the maenads' laws:
"Notwithstanding that some forage ship have been
shattered to the But Indies, sad others string which are
now at Sea Francisco and elsewhere, homeward charters
an as difficult as ever to be obtained of first clam British
ships, whilst very high rates have to be paid for the outward
voyage. I. home charm', nothing as be done under
el; 10e. to SI. from Calcutta, and offen are freely made at
44. to 41.45. without success; so that little apprehensios
yet exists of team markets being interfered with by (onto
batons."
As the navigation-laws expire oa the Ist ef
Jewry ant, this is about the time when, nom&
ing to the podietions with which the costae has
bees deluged it ought to have been next to impos-
sible to Ind' freight for British vewL. And what
are the real fade ? Good British ships are difficult to be got,
even at high rates of freight, "Other for inward or on.
ward cargoes ; and it will be sees, from the latter of our
Liverpool aorreepondent, that vessels have bees taken up
this. to load teas for the Caked States—a trade which, it
mace be recollested, could not be carried is until the repeal
of oor saris/ada laws opened the ports of the United States
