WHAT are the financial and trading prospects
of the year? They ought to be reassuring. For
a long time past there has constantly been a
prospect of serious trouble in some part of the
world, and even some insignificant disturbances
are every now and then taking place. We our-
selves are menaced by Fenian outbreaks, and two
have actually occurred, but on such a ridiculously
petty scale that the most inveterate alarmists
on the Stock Exchange have been unable to cause
a fall in the funds of more than a quarter per
cent., and the next day or two will probably see a
recovery from this fractional decline. In France
the financial position is in some respects unsatisfac-
tory. The budget shows a prospective surplus, as it
always does. The adverse features are the ex-
pected cost for the reorganization of the army, and
the possibility of a large industrial loan. Still,
both these operations may be considered to be in
a great degree beyond the scope of the passing
year, whereas benefits are shown that are imme-
diately forthcoming. French trade must profit
very largely by the Exhibition. It is almost cer-
tain that Paris will receive a greater number of
visitors, and be enriched by a larger corresponding
expenditure, than has ever before been known. The
national wealth will increase, and with it the
public revenue. There is, consequently, reason to
hope that this time at least the budgetary surplus
may prove a reality. Turning to other parts of
Europe, the condition of Spain seems almost despe-
rate. A loan has been attempted in Paris through the
powerful agency of Messrs. FOULD, and has turned
out a signal failure. The Spanish Government must
have money, and to get it they will be compelled
to walk in the unfamiliar path of public honesty
and good faith. Italy again labours under the
weight of a chronic deficit, but there is no reason
why it should not be removed. All States gass-
ing though a period of transition are especially
liable to financial difficulties. In old times these
were often solved by the simple, if dishonest, ex-
pedient of national bankruptcy. Public morality,
however, has since advanced a stage, and economy
of expenditure is now resorted to. It is
satisfactory to note that Italy contemplates
no new loan, even if the money markets
of Europe were disposed to entertain it.
Portugal is said to be a lx.rrower, but as
regards London there are some obstacles in the
way. In the first place, Portuguese stocks have,
since 1856, been multiplied with such frequency
that the supply of new bonds has outstripped the
demand. Again, some of the presiding officials
in that kingdom have attempted a piece of sharp
practice with regard to a railway c.mpany—the
South Eastern of Portugal—that could nut pee-

Tae Gov ERN SIZICVS REFORM RENOLUTIONB.
Meetings, at which Mr. Disraeli's reform resolutions were
condemned as unsatisfactory, have been held at Leeds,
Bradford, Wolverhampton, and other places. A reform
meeting is to be held in Southampton. Mr. Moffatt, the
member for that town. has accepted an invitation to attend
the meeting in the following letter :—" 103, Eaton-square,
Feb. 15.—Sir,—I accept with alacrity and pleasure
the invitation of my constituents to confer with them, in
public meeting assembled, upon the most advisable course
for adoption to the present political crisis. The issues
that are raised in the question now demanding settlement
are So grave and important that a full and free discussion
of the whole of this subject is a duty incumbent both upon
representative and represented. There is to he a large
meeting of the members of the liberal party in the House
of Commons on Thursday next, consequently I would
respectfully suggest that the proposed meeting in South-
ampton should be held the day previous—say Wednesday,
the 20th inst. ; but should that day be inopportune, I
shall endeavour to make my arrangements to suit the con-
venience of my constituents.—l have the honour to be,
your faithful servant, (aied) GEORGE MOFFATT.—Mr.
S. S. Pearce." Mr. Bright and The U'Donoghue have
been invited to attend the meeting. A meeting of the
working claims will be held to-night at Newcastle-upon-
Tyne. A great outdoor demonstration is to be held in
Sunderland on the 25th inst. in favour of radical reform,
and a similar demonstration is annonncedto take place on
March 7, in the city of Durham.
MR. E. BAINES, M.P., ON THE GOVERNMENT
Re.sotrriexa.—Mr. E. Baines, M.P., hoe addressed to the
chairman of a meeting which has just been held at Leeds
• letter condemning the government reform resolu-
tions upon various grounds. The government leaves
the country in the dark as to the most essential
points, and invites parliament to grope amongst
patens. Illustrating this by pointing out the chs-
rector and necessary effect of certain of the
resolutions, Mr. Baines says that personally he objects
to the house going into committee at all on such resolutions;
but he add., " whilst this is my?pinion, I admit that there
are reasons of some weight in favour of going into
committee. So afraid are many liberal members of the House
of Commons of being charged with factious opposition tothe
government, so anxious are they for a settlement of the
question, and so desirous that the country should know
what the tory plan of reform really is, that I shall not be
surprised if our leaders, even contrary to their own view of
what is right and reasonable, should recommend us to go
in to conunittee for the *aka of etting at the government bill.
If Mr. Gladstone, after hearing the opinions of his friends,
should decide that this is the most prudent course, I for
one shall defer to his judgment. We shall still endeavour,
though with email hope of success, to extract from Mr.
Disraeli an earlier statement of the amount of the county
and borough franchisee which he proposes. It is said
that be withholds this information in order to avoid the
immediate secession of • notion of the divided cabinet.
But my own less charitable conjecture is, that he does it
in order to lead us into the net of his resolutions, and to
entangle us in their meshes. One thing is evident, namely,
that neither side of the house will assent to the plurality
of votes."

delta Francesca; and a picture by Rembrandt of
"Christ blessing little Children," purchased at Aic-la.
Chapelle. The latter was bought from Herr Suermondt

by 5 feet inch wide. Five former purchases have arrived

The lecture theatre of the Royal Institution was
crowded on Friday evening to hear a discourse by Mr. C. F.

of two miles, one of them having lain at the bottom of the
sea for two years.

stood, accepted an engagement at Drury-lane.

THE BIEHoPS AND THE TtEtIOLUTIoN3 ON RTITAL-
Dm.—The Bishop of St. David's, explaining the circum-
stances under which the vote in convocation was taken,
writes to the Times :—" Before the reporters were ad-
mitted some doubt was expressed whether there would be
time left before the prorogation for considering—as we
, had promised to do—the report of the Lower House on
ritual. One bishop suggested that the discussion
of the question might be expedited if some one
would draw up a sketch of • resolution. Another
bishop spontaneously acted on this suggestion,
and, while conversation was going on or other subject., be
framed a resolution, which he read. A few very slight
alterations were suggested and adopted, and it then ap-
peared to every one present that there was no reason why
the resolution should not be at once formally voted. The
reporters were called in, and the thing was done.
This was the whole of the private deliberation.'
There was nothing in the nature of a debate to be
reported. There was no discussion of the ' reasons'
assigned. The only question was how they might be most
clearly expressed. I must add that I quite agree with you
ha deprecating deliberations in convocation with closed
doors. But such was not the character of the proceeding
I have described. It was simply the preparation of a
document, a business usually performed by a select com-
mittee, Lit which in this case was transacted by the whole
house."

The marriage of Miss Constance Lennox, eldest
daughter of Lady Arthur Lennox, and Mr. George Russell,
brother of Sir Charles Russell, Bart., of swallowfield,
