Rum OF THE PAPER DUTIES.—The members

Thomas Milner Otbeon, M.P., president of the society, In
the chair. The cloth hags! boos removed, the Chairman
proposed "The repeal of the paper Maim" and dwelt at
cousiderable length on the importance of the deputuion
which had relief os the Premier. He could not omit Ile
opportunity of congratulating she English association on the
large and powerful acces.ion they had reosived from Ireland
sad Scotland. The number of Irish members who had at.
tended at Iced Derby's showed the deep sympathy which
existed between the ',nautili' oeviont of the Irish people
sod the representatives of that people; and he trusted these
long the English Associaita would be able to bring up ea
equivalent coodingent of resothero, regard being bad to the
reepadve members of the representatives of each country.
lie himself took a favourable view of the reply of Lord
Derby,for if the noble earl did not anticipate that there was •
posabSty of the tax oomingoff he world not bars been guilty
of the indiscretion of making a gauntest which declared
the tax to be en indefensible ow, declared the Cabinet to be
opposed to it, and still left the trade in uncertainty as to
what wee about to be dose. They had at least given the death
blow to If they bed set killed the tax, and he had no doubt
but that with marry sad perermsreece they would ulti-
mealy sad before keg succeed is abolishing it.
TAR TRADZIN MOS ffv.—The mosey market retains
• quiet sad settled appearance. Is all quarters the rates for
the best paper Sr. below the Bask minimum ; but the mosey
dealers seem to be by no mesas in wooed as to the West of
the reduction. The tersest of the Lombard-street Dosser,
for Waterier., are indifferent to taking first-slam bills below
21 par cent.; whilst in other quarters business is weedily
done at 2i pw rest. We hear of inetaares in which the
money elegem themselves hove "given out" bills at 2, IL
and eves If per cent. ; but it would be a mistake to
infer that these rates repreeent the real state of the
mosey market ; they represent rather the " trade price"
of money—the price current &utopia the dealers thaw
triton not that at which the dealers are prepared
to do badness with the gement public. There me
always, so to speak, two sets of prices current in the market
for mosey, m be the markets for nearly all other gimmodi-
tisa. At the one price the dealers Sr. willatir le modee
mosey, either at "cell," at a few days' notice, or "giving
ma" liMe as security; at ths other—end, of worse, higher
--prime, they are ready to take bills from, or make advances
to Ark cos'oaters. The difference between these two price.
forms the dealers' profit. For example, Messrs. Overend,
Oursey, said Co., we will my, discount Irst.clasa bills at 2f
per mat., pima their eadereemest arm them, sad "give
them oat" to other driers at if per mac Theiriy=

INDIAN Coors.—" The country through which

camp ie Code, "is fertile—in Indian mops perhaps unrivalled
—and it is cultivated to a degree of perfection which capital
and science could not Burps.% No scrutiny can detect a
single weed in the fields of wheat and rice which are spread
far and wide. Cleaner and more beautiful agriculture the
Whim could set chow. Without steam ploughs or Kari-
Sere, or cheered laboratoeder, malodorous muses, or ace
merles of weapons, the Hindoo macaw, by patina, tat-
Oriole hand labour, aided by the rudest tradition al Implements

each well defined by • mall bank of earth 18 rear or 2 feet

the rice-fields, vide* avenge bare about 200 feet square.
The banks serve to keep in the irrigatinet wa'ere; they are
heed end solid, sad offer considerable difficulties to the rapid
advance of cavalry in order, or of artillery. The dell and
Indian cern fields are not defined by beaks, but are oil sown
and planted in regular prollelottrants. In places where the
water lies, making jet's or marshes, the ground Is left ttocul-
tiered, but the long tested grass with which it is covered
naturally yields fine utterer to domestic animals, and gives

ilittierms seem disposed to play a somewhat
&sweat game. They are beginning already to
&Wes the confidence that has been generally ex-
tended to them. Having pined the tampeihry
mansposent of the British Lion they wish to show
how completely they are =Am of the eihmtka by
taking liberties with the noble 'animal. Having
called on the world to remark how docile and
obedient, how prosperous and happy he is in their
hands, they proceed to stir him up and pat him
down. Finding that playful attendees provoke no
hostile movement, they grow bolder la their familiar-
ities, and imagine they may safely emulate the Teah-
ouse of the keeper in the well known story, and put
their head into his mouth. Every measure they
now bring forward to delay the introduction
of the promised Reform Bill must be looked upon
as a feat of this description. Hitherto they have
performed this perilous feat with success, though
evidently not without a certain sense of insecurity.
There is a haste and anxiety is their manner which
betrays a latent conaciommem of danger. They
_

serveraly watch the movements of the kingly
animal, inquiring of each other, as the experiment is
repeated, "la he wagging his tail ? " This is the
vital question ; and hitherto they have comforted
themselves with the flattering assurance that the
tail is still, or at most only movm in playful gentle-
asse. The slight stir perceptible is a friendly sweep that
would not harm may living seal, least of all a watchful
and devoted keeper. In the spirit of friendly ma-
ths we say, however, decidedly, " take care." The
experiment is a hasardoss one, and, if persisted la, the
coma:lhp will inevitably ensue. The British Lieu,
however noble and generous, is net to be insulted with
impunity. If these annoyaseas cantinas, some early
day, when it is least expected, them will be a ridden
glare, an impatient lash, an angry mar, and the ad-
venturous keeper will fall a victim to his rashness
end folly. The patience of the country will be at
length exhausted, sad the Government that has
abased it will inevitably be overthrown.
It would be needier to recur to the subject if the
Ministry bad dealt with the question of Reform in •
frank and straightforward manner. Bat they have
not done so. They have hitherto evaded it, and
pramating on the patience and forbearance of thei
country, are evidently bent on evading it still. Oa
the opening night the CIAXCILLOR of the Exam-
QUIZ stated that the Reform Bill would be brought
forward as soon as the urgent business of the country
had been attended to. Curiosity was naturally
excited as to what the business could be that was
mom argent than that of Parliamentary Reform.
The mai& solution of the difficulty which the
Goverment has given daring the last ten days la
kr MOM simple than satindwasey. Anything
is more urgent and important than Parliamentary
Before. A Bill as abolish obseises sorriest.
a Bill to re-model druggists' shops mad re-label their
bottles, a Bill to seemed the Insoiresey Laws, a Bill
to facilitate the ?resider et Landed Property—all
these meet be in the eyes of the Granument mere
largest and impeetent than Parliamentary Reform,
fee they all take preesiieneketit. New, while some
of then mews are impartaat, nose of the. met
all urgent. The really urgent esbjeele—these of
Indian Finance, and the improvement of the Navy—
ere still delayed. The former, indeed, MEM ou this
evening, but it might have been brought forward •
week ago. Bat the bare, which I. equally urger!,
if not more so, is delayed till the mid et the mirth.
Barely, if the business is so pressing, and se mask et
equal importance remain, behind, Sir lon num-
TON might arrange to make his statement est as
earlier day than the 25th. Bet, in reality, it is im-
passible to mistake tactics of this kind. The objest
is to evade the great difficulty of the swam by a
Fabian policy of delay. No other enplaned= ef the
conduct of the Government on this itaidisa is pot-
able. Mr. DISRAZII stated at the earmeesseset of

Let swiss that it would be impossible to deal fairly
with the sabjest makes the Bill were iatrodnesd
early la the essies—early in February, indeed—se
that its providess meld be fully dimmed beds*
Babe. Yet new, when the faveesehle op-
portuaity for doing this offers, any expedient that
eau be devised for preventing It is adopted
with barefaced alacrity. Mr. Mese= indeed
stye vaguely that he anticipates the state of pablie
brines will enable him to introduce the Bill es an
early day, adding with solemn irony that if It
meets with the favourable reception he fondly looks
forward to, he has reason to hope that the seeped
reading may be taken before Easter. But the Go-
vernment has hitherto done everything in their
power to prevent the realisation of this hope. They
are ready to deal with all smaller questions, and
aggravate all lesser difficulties, if they can but escape
the cue great difficulty of Reform.
It is no longer possible, however, to do this. The
people are patient, but there is a limit to their en-
durance which no Government can safely transgress.
And everything goes to prove that this limit ie now
resteed. The question has been actively dimmed
Iler tea Team, and wee ripe for legislation seven
yews ago. Necessarily in abeyance during the
Anoka War, it reappeared at the first prospect of
Peace. The Indian Revolt occasioned another
delay, rather, however, by abeorbing the time of
Parliament than by diverting public attention Prom
the subject. The feeling of the country en the
subject has steadily increased daring these re-
posted postponements. If Lord PALMERSTON
had weathered the storm raised by his Con-
spiree7 Bill, hie lukewarmaess on the question
of Parliamentary Reform would have ensured his
rain. This was not only notorious throughout the
sonatry, but so strongly recognised by Lori Dash,
OR taking office, that he felt bound, contrary to hie
personal inclination, to accept the pledge of his re-
deemers on the subject. Bowing to the form of
public opinion, as represented in the "pleasure of
" Parliament," be undertook to deal with the sub-
ject without further delay. The reason he snag' no
for this is both important in itself and specially
worth recalling at the present moment. " In my
" opinion," says the noble Papuan, " it is
" highly inconvenient that, from session to
" session, a question of this importance, and
" of this interest, should be perpetually kept dam-
" gling before the Legislature, and that session after
session it should be hung up till a future day."
We believe that it is not only highly inconvenient,
but absolutely impossible, it shoold now any longer
be " hung up till a future day." The country is
still patient because it relies on the promise of the
Government. The time for the fulfilment of this
is pro-
mise at length come. There is nothing to prevent
the prompt introduction and ample discussion of
the promised measure. If the Government resort
to flimsy and vexatious pretexts for farther delay, it
san no longer rely upon the forbearance of the people,
and assuredly that forbearance will no longer be
exercised. The storm is already gathering, and,
should there be any further delay, it requires no
great foresight to predict that it will burst forth.
Meetings and petitions will multiply to remind the
Government of the tenure on which it holds its lease
of pewee. Liberal members in the House will become
held, unanimous, and aggressive. The very weakness
and vacillating' of the Government on such a vital quer
des will give unity end strength to the Opposition.
The Mialetry have already lest inflate ce in the Boom
by their evasion' at this 'abject. They will lose

still mon if they do not at once adopt a vigorous •
and decided policy as this, the only quesdon of great
and general importance widish is now before Parlia-
ment and the country. At the het general ideation a
large majority of the mutat House gars solemn
pledgee on this question, and altbsagh they have
hitherto been rather careless u to the fulfilment of
those pledges, the prospect of a dissolution will
naturally quicken their memory, and augment their
ssaL It is no use for the Government to think of
escaping by delay. They have made the bed, and
most lie in it. They have chosen their pert,
and most act it out. No doubt it is a dis-
tasteful one. No one likes to be his own
executioner; but they have elected themselves to
this self-denying office. It is, perhaps, natural, as
Lord Jona Russet'. suggested, that they should
hesitate till the last moment to arrange the halter
and fix the fatal knot. But their only chance of
obtaining a reprieve from the country depends never-
theless on their doing this with frankness and
despatch.

THE FRENCH NAVY.
-..-.

Considerable interest having been excited, both
in this country and ea the Continent, by the
details we recently gave, relative to the materiel
at the French Navy, we now propose to make a few
observations upon its internal economy, which will
be found to merit consideration, since it Is univer-
sally conceded that important changes me impera-
tively needed in our own Service.
The French Marine comprises five distinct depart-
ments, the first includin only ofiicers of the Navy,
properly so
,Lcelled; then nose Use Naval Engineers,
' Inspectors, and a Sanitary Board.
