The market for the home funds Ices beta well
supported to-day at the full advance, a mode-
rate demand for investment being experienced,
and prices being further strengthened by the
continued operation of the government broker in
Reduced Threes and Consols. This is pay-day in
Consuls, and the differences arising out of the account
just closed appear to have been met without further
casualty than the solitary case to which we alluded
yesterday. The settlement of the foreiga stock and
railway share accounts is now engaging the attention
of the jobbers.
Consuls have ruled steady at 94g to for cash,
which is also the quotation for the account of
the 11th DM, there being no "continuation," but
for a moment they were called buyers at 981. The
official business report is as Übe:. : Three per Cent.

Old Annuities, 973.
There is nu caange in the unfunded securities,
which remain steady. Exchequer Bills have met
with a regular business at 525. to 535. prcm. ; and
India Bonds, large and small, mark 591. and 61s. pron.
Foreign stocks are quite neglected, not more than
half-a-dozen transactions huvingotkred in the course
of the morning, and these being mlinly connected
with the settlement of the account. In prices, the
only feature is a further decline in Mexi-
can, which have been sold at 24:1 for cash. The un-
dermentioned stocks are the only descriptions in
which bargains are marked:—Datch Two-and-a-llalf
per Cents., 39. Mexican Bonds, 243, I. Russian
Pour-and-a-Half per Cents., 1021. burdinian Five
per Cents., 811, 4. Spanish Active Five per Cents.,
for the new account of the 28th Nov., 20g.
The business in the Californian gold mining shares
to-day has again shown u prepomiciance of sellers,
and the consequence is a further reduction in the
rates of premium obtainable upon nearly all these
speculations. Other schemes are known to be in
course of concoction, and this has a weakening ef-
fect. Present quotations are is follows:—Ave Maria,
7-16 to 9-16 prem. ; Aqua Fria, to 13 prem. ;
Nouveau Monde, to 13 prem.
Ihe railway traffic returns for the last week, as
made up to this day, generally show an increase
over the receipts for the corresponding week of last
year, and must, on the whole, be regarded
as satisfactory. The London and North West-
ern return is 42,307/., against 41,5201. last year,
being an increase of 787/.; the Midland, 22,701.

In the market for bank shares there has; not been
so much business this week, and the only change in
prices is a considerable rise in Bank of Australasia
shares, which have reached 381. Union of London

In 1)ock shares only two descriptions meet with
business. London stock maintains the improved
price of 117; and Commercial stock has risen to 851.

Nothing, then, can be more gratuitom and idle
than to represent the views of kosseTll and those
of Minnie as at variance. The Hungarian
orator borrows the words of SIIAKSPEARE to entreat
the Englishman not merely to put on his nightcap
and go to slumber, but to remain awake and inte-
rested. and prepared to put in his word in any great
struggle that tray arise in Europe between the
despotic cause and the popular one. In this

Kossurn called on the very Peace Society to

Alter all, as there is no prudence of conduct in
private live, which will ensure a man against enmity
and misfortune, so there is no guarantee in any
course of policy that it may. not lead to trouble and
to terrel. For a long series of years we interfered
in Europe on behalf of the old princes and of their
interests, which cost us some six hundred millions.
We have since interfered at times for a popular
came, which has cast some hundreds of
By intetfering for princes we make ourselves rtue:lttl
by the people; by interfering fur the people we get
abhorred by the princes. By refraining from both,
and by shutting ourselves up in avowed selfishness,
we might probably earn the abhorrence of both
peoples and princes, and have a universal league
formed against us for worshipping the golden calf,
and declaring ourselves deaf to any more noble or
disinterested principle.
Choice, however, is henceforth taken out of our
lands,—at least out of the bands of politicians.
The English people are awake. The English
people will and mast have political power, in pro-
pmtion to their political intelligence. And the
Raglish people will command its governors to show
their sympathies for oppressed people, and withhold
support from their oppressors. A war of 11:02 against
French principles or republican ones is just as impair
sable as a war against America to bring it back to
monarchy. The coming of KOSSUTII amongst
as that greet orator himself declares, has
created no new feeling amongst our population ;
it has merely brought forth to light what wss
formed in every heart. an ardent desire to see the
people of the several countries of Europe free as our-
selves. and equally brave and warlike with our-
selves in winning that right by the sword if neces-
san. and by every effort that human intelligence
and human force can make. What the people of
London, of Birmingham. of Manchester think has
been manifested plainly enough to be seen as clearly
at the Burg of N ienna as in the recesses of Down-
leg-street; and what these masses think, we may
fret perfectly assured that not all the dandyism and
retregradism of parliament itself can un-think.

and simply maintained your power ; .. ___
nor will ever yield before menace. (" Hear, hear,'
Right.)
Now the government testifies a fear that these demon-
strations will not remain vain; that the regulation of uni-
versal suffrage will be made a pretext fur civil war, and
from this motive it demands the repeal of the law of May 31.
Did we even share in these fears, we ttink that to yield be-
fore such pretexts would be to abdicate reason and the spirit
of legal liberty, and to commit one of those weaknesses
which often creates danger instead of removing it. (Masked
assent on the Right.) This concession once obtained, arc
you sure that others will not be demanded of you? Once
entered in that path, where would you atop ? Are you sure
that the repeal of the law of May 31 would not be repre-
sented to the people as a disavowal of the policy fullowed in
concert by the two powers for the last three years, and to
which both one and the other wish to remain taithful ?
Could that policy be maintained after it had been thus dis-
avowed ?
Will not the sovereignty of the law itself be attacked to a
certain point ? Will not the moral authority of the powers
of the state, and the confidence which the nation places in
them, be shaken by the apparent weakness of the decision
extorted by a fear of danger. And when all that has been
duke, when the authority of me laws, of the Assembly, and ,
of the government shall have given way before a menace, I
will the chances of disturbance and of struggle have been
diminished ? For want of the pretext of the law of May 31,
will not the secret societies of which we have been told, and
which are, it is said, spread over France and Europe, find
others? Will this concession satisfy them? Will they
abandon their projects, or rather will they Lot be encouraged
by this first success ? Will they not propose other condi-
tions to which it will be necessary to submit ? it would be
wrung to disarm in lace of the spirit of revolt. (" Hear,
hear," on the Right.)
Regarded in its political effects, the measure proposed to
us by the government appears to us to be directly opposed
to the object it wishes to attain. Instead of diminishing
the danger, it increases it; Mr from giving force to the
guvernmenteit takes it Irem it, and it is completely contrary
to the political idea which bas constantly directed us, to the
interest of public security, to the dignity of the stale, to its
consideration abroad, which is the very condition of its in-
fluence, and consequently is one of the moot valuable guar-
dians of society.
Let us now examine the bill in itself, and see if we can
adopt the principle on which it is based. What is it that it
mks of us ? To return to suffrage not only universal, but
unlimited, as proclaimed by the accidental dictatorship of
the 24th of February. (Loud murmurs on the Left) It is
wished to wake our electoral legislation date, not from the
epoch when legal and regular order was reestablished in
k ranee but from the time when exceptional eft curnstunces had
created a dictatural authority. We are asked to accept and
to admit a principle which would make the national so-
vereignty reside in the confused masses, including every
one without distinction, even the indigent and the Uses-
pable, iustead of making it reside, as the constitution
wishes, in the generality of all those iu whom the law
admits the capacity of electing or of being elected. (Marks
of denial on the Left.) Between these two systems which
is the one that is the most recommended by the
true and general spirit of our laws ? Can the imprudent
and incorrect theory be admitted that universal suffrage is
not susceptible of any regulation, that it is the sovereignty
of the people always in action, and that reparation should
be made to it fur any precaution or any legal gua-
rantee with which it should be surrounded? To ad-
mit that theoretical exaggeration would be to admit
that the people were the only authority in the world
which did not stand in need of reason to ealid•ate its acts.
Such cannot be the result of the experience acquired by
sixty years of revolutions, after two centuries of intelligence.
Whatever may have beeu the circumstances which owidenly
enthrunial universal suffrage in k'rance, whatever mny have
been the voices which p,oclaimcd it, it does net form a
superior principle, inaccessible to all discussion, and not
susceptible of error and of correction. In admitting the
principle of universal suffrage as the basis of the organisa-
tion of all the powers of the state, the constitution has not
taken from the legislative power the right of deciding on
the formalities to which the exercise of electoral rights
should be subjected. The condition of property qualifica-
tion has seen abolished; the limit of the age of 21 years
has been admitted; that is the only prescription of the
fundamental act. The rest is to be regulated by the law,
and especially the condition of domicile, from which the
person to be elected was exempt, but which is implicitly
maintained for the elector. (Ironical exclamations on the
Left, and approbation on the Right.)

Yesterday afternoon, after some minor business
was transacted in the Chamber of Deputies, Bravo
Murillo, president of the council of ministers, moved
for leave to bring in several bills, amongst others,
one for the reform of the tariff. The first bill enacts
that the decree concerning the stamp duties shall
become law. The second bill proposed that the
arrears due to emplay,,s and the passive classes shall
be paid, and that 20 millions of reals a year shall be
set down in the budget for this purpose. These state
creditors are to receive bonds for the payment, but
which are not to be paid interest upon. As soon as
these bonds arc issued, tke government will call a
meeting of the holders of them, and buy them
back with other government paper. The
studied obscurity with which this bill is
drawn up will open a wide field for jobbing. The
3rd bill enacts the payment of the interest of the
provisional debt of 5 per cent. converted into redeem-
able debt of the 2nd class. The 4th proposes a term
of payment for certain credits, comprehended in the
law of the adjustment of the public debt. The sth
disposes that the property of the late Prince of Peace
(Godoy) shall be re restored to his family. That pro-
perty of his which the state has disposed of shall be
paid back to his family in 3 per cents. The 6th bill
proposes a pension to the sister of the friar who was
killed in the attack of 'Told in the l'hilppine Islands. ;
The 7th bill is to sanction the supplementary credit •
of 12 millions; and the Bth, and most important, is
the reform of the tariff. The minister only read the
heads of this bill, and in so low a voice, and so
late in the evening, that it was impossible
to send any details yesterday. None of the morning
papers have said anything about it, and though it is
now 4 o'clock in the afternoon the Gazette has not
yet come out. However, I have found means to get
at the details in the finance-office. The duties on
stock-fish, cod, raw flax, hides, and one or two other
articles, arc to be reduced to the tariff of 1849.
That coal, cinnamon, glass, butter, pepper, timber,
round cheese, are to continue to pay the reduced du-
ties of 1849; that cocoa, sugar, and mulls shall pav
the increased duties of 1849. That raw thread,
which paid 75, is to pay 65 realm a quintal. Copper
duty is to be reduced to 180 reals, instead of 200.
Porcelain and flint wares duties arc to be lowered ;
the former to 50 reale per arroba, instead of
65 reels ; the latter to 30 reels, from 40.
Thread stockings and woollen stockings paid 4 reale,
will now only pay 2 reals. Uncut paper paid
40 reale, and will now pay 35 ; cut paper paid 60
reale, and now will pay 55. Brass duties will be
augmented from 5 reals to 7. We have not been
able to obtain any more details ; considerable reduc-
tions are to be made in cotton goods. In the Chamber
of Deputies to-day discussions on election petitions
have been taking place. At this moment they are
debating upon the election of Catalayud. General
Ortega has spoken against the government with his
usual vehemence; Madoz is now speaking on the
same side. The government has brought in a pains
and penalties bill against bribery in elections.

IMPORTANT CASE UNDER TIIE BANKRUPT CON-
SOLIDATION AM—Yesterday at Liverpool an important
case to the trading and commercial community was heard
before the magistrates, being the first of the nature under
the new Bankrupt Consolidation Act. A person named
O'Toole became bankrupt in December of last year, but
instead of surrendering himself in accordance with notice
he absconded to America, taking with him 1.5001. Finding
himself destitute, having dissipated the money, he returned
to Liverpool, and being recognised notice was given
to the messenger of the Bankruptcy Court, and
the bankrupt was taken before the commissioner,
and by his orders given into the charge of a police
officer for felony. Sir George Stephen appeared for the as-
signees, and Mr. Snowball for the prisoner. Sir George
Stephen stated that his application was founded on the
251st clause of the Bankrupt Consolidation Act, which ren-
dered any person adjudged a bankrupt, and not surrender-
ing within the time limited, liable to transportation for life,
or for seven years. It would be his (Sir G. Stephen's) duty
to show by the course of evidence laid down by the act that
the prisoner had been declared bankrupt, that notice in
writing bad been left at his last known place of residence,
and that he had not surrendered, although he
had been declared bankrupt in the month of
January' last. Upon proof of these facts there would
he no alternative left the court but to commit the bankrupt
for Oka at the assizes. Mr. Henry Ayres, assistant
messenger to the Court of Bankruptcy, was then examined
at considerable length. He produced the Gazette of the
3rd of January, also the adjudication of bankruptcy, and
stated that he had served a notice in writing, and also a
duplicate of the same, calling upon the bankrupt to sue'
render ou the 10th of January, and the 13th of February.
The notice was served at the bankrupt's last place of resi-
dence, where the messenger of the court was in possession.
He had not compared the duplicate with the origi-
nal summons. Mr. Snowball contended that this
being so there was an end of the case. It was
indispensable to prove the service of notice. Sir
George Stephen asked the witness whether he had any
doubt that he had served the bankrupt with notice
in writing. The witness said be had not, and he was quite
certain this contained the days and date of surrendering.
Mr. Snowball objected to the question, because it was
proving the contents of a written document, which ought
to be produced.—Sir George Stephen replied that the bank.
rapt was in possession of the document ; and all the act
required was that it should be left at the bankrupt's last
place of abode.—Mr. Snowball replied that the notice was
not proved to be in the bankrupt's possession at all; and
the notice could not be prnved except by the notice itself.
On this rested the whole of the criminal motive. This was
the very gist of the charge under the act—the service of the
notice.—Sir George Stephen replied, and after a long legal
argument the court overruled Mr. Snowball's objection,.
and the prisovr was committed for trial on the charge of
felony.

Till increased importance attached to tho educe-
tion of the commercial classes by the progressive
development of civilisation must not be restricted to
those whose field of action is parliament, and whose
carter depends for its success on their power of meet-
ing
the rivalry of competitors: it applies with equal,
if not greater force, to those by whose judgment and
votes the selection of legislators is determine& In
the long run, the character and quality of parliament
will be regulated by the discernment and opinions of
the electors. In this respect there is some ground
for shome, and mach room for improvement. The
choice of their representatives has in numberless in-
stances conferred small credit on the new constitu-
encies ; little discrimination as to character, ability,
and elevation of mind and principle has been dr-
played : and it has been made too plain that a right
training has yet much to do in teaching the deposi-
taries of the sacred trust of the franchise what are
the qualifications which distinguish an accomplished
legislator, and what is the sort of men to whom the
fortunes of England may be safely entrusted.
But what are the points in which the education of
the mercantile community is deficient? What is the
enlargement of which it is not only susceptible, but
which the welfare of the state imperatively calls for?
Property, it has been well said, educates. The large
enterprises by which the trade of Great Britain is
carried on are eminently educational processes. They
