LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9.

Tut reinalsoss between our country load China have
embed theta point which renders the next stage of
ow gobs, important, if not decisive, in regard to the
wised* futare cosoexiou of the two eonntries; and
all the western nation are nearly as mach interested
in the event es curative*, a fact to which they testify
by sending their own representatives to the spot.
Now, what is doing at the scene of this great em-
bassy. on which the world's eyes are fixed ?
Ministers took great credit to themselves fur
their appointment of an ambassador; and their
ambassador has done more than anybody contem-
plated six months ago to reflect honour on their
choice. Lord ELGIN ought to rank in the natiou's
gratitude with the few great men who have ens-
tained our empire in India in the crisis of its fate.
The view which impartial persons take of Lord
Etc ix'. more upon Calcutta is agreed in, as far as
we know, wherever the act is known. It is not
every man, say statesmen abroad, who would take
the responsibility of changing the destination of a
force upon the despatch of which a Parliament had
been drawler,' and a Government might have been
superseded. It is not every man who would volun-
tarily consign himself to political inaction for an
indefinite time, in order to promote his country's
interest in a dificrent direction. This is true; and
the Ministry hare a dear right to be proud of their
choice of an ambassador to China.

How are they eanying out the enterprise begun
so favourably ? How are they supporting their
functionary ? And in what stage is the business
they bare confided to him ? The answer seems only
too plain and if the people of England misappre-
hend the case, it is time the Government was setting
them right. As far as can be seen, month after
month in passing away without Lord EicaN being
enabled to do anything whatever, or authorised to
look forward to a definite period when he may act
with confidence and decision. While he was at
Calcutta, there was some talk of one Sepoy regiment
having volunteered at Bareackpore to go to China,
and of a good deal of local excitement having been
caused by the proposal ; but rothing seems to have
come of it, nor was anything expected from it by
these who know what Bengal Sepoys think of
foreign service and the voyage to it, or by those
who consider what it must be to command
Sepoys in a war so peculiar and critical as any
conflict in China most be. Lord ELGIN sailed away
from Calcutta ; and, as our letters from thence hays
shown, many hearts sank down as his ship disap-
peared. What is he to do next? We suspect he
would himself be very glad to know. Sailing about,
with fever (we are sorry to see) in his veins end sus-
pense gnawing bis mind, what fair play is he recen-
ing from his employees? Do they mean him to
keep moving between Singapore and Hong Kong?
or is be to be indulged with a course of lectures from
Sr June Bowmen on the art of ruling a colony
(cot quite so large as Canada; and on the glory of
forcing an entrance into Canton? No doubt Sir
Jogs Bowels° will enjoy the opportunity of in-
structing ;nr ambae-ador how to discharge his
errand; but is this what Ministers seat Lord ELGIN
to China for ? According to their own avowal, their
instructions to Lord ELGIN were to make certain
amicable overtures and demands of redress, as soon
as he bad melted Pekin, or the nearest point that
be might find attainable. If three overtures and de-
mands faded, strong measures were to be taken at
Canton. When that plan was laid it was not known
whether the sets of Yen were approved or even
known by the Imperial Government. As the can
now stands, after the lapse of many months, YIN
and his policy are in high favour at Pekin ; Lord
ELGIN is hinging about, attended only by his own
staff of civilians, and by General Vots Sturman
and his aides-de-ciunp and our whole force is
naval, except 1,300 Marines. At the same time
Hessian diplomacy is replenished, and every day
lost by us on the coast side of China is
diligently improved along the interior fron-
tier and along the course of the Amoor. They are
plying American steamers on that " Mississippi
"of the East," and they have a war-steamer

watching our operations in the Japan and China
seam. They have won over the alkgbanee of stovers!
Mongol tribes, whom they are treating with favour
sad organising as a frontier militia, tak;ng the op-
portunity to erect forts along the line. While they
ere so bevy, what are we doing ?

The ant mail will no doubt tell us of the arrival
of Baran Gins and his junction with laird notu.
What an they to do' If Yen is in favour at Pekin
we have MOM reason than ever to expect &rebuff to
our diplomacy. It is probable that a yet etrvoger
hostility may @how itself in some form of outrage.
Are we prepared to repel it' or must oar ambassador
look on, and report home, and complain to Pekin,
un feta imbed with any power beyond that
of speech? Have we, or have we not, learned
by this time that prevention is better than
cure' that threats which wait long for ful-
filment are, in plain truth, bluster, and are so
regarded all over the world? and that our national
representatives at foreign Courts cannot be slighted.
or weakened, or disheartened, but at deadly cost to
one national Ammar and welfare' Lords et. (REX DON
and PAL'lltk‘ToN must be sternly interrogated about
this matter, and compelled to say how that quarrel
stands in China which they so valiantly sustained
SOIN Months ago, end about which they made such
pond promisee. If they are in a condition to give
a good sccoont of it they bad better do so at our.
Ise nobody is satisfied with the present aspect of
affairs. 11 they cannot satisfy the Notice—if they

cannot show that Lord ELGIN has at command the I
powers requisite for his function—the risk must be
put an end to by the strong will of the nation.
Every man of us is concerned in the issue. We
can easily imagine that the subject is not an agree-
able one to the patrons of the rash officials who made
the quarrel; but the exi,tiug Nlinivtry begun the
business, and they must go through with it. The
present state of abeyance can no longer be more or
ism excused. We hope the Ministry will be made
to MN clearly that it will be no longer endured.

TB" public will have remarked with some degree
of satisfaction that even the most obstinate sup-
porters of our present currency system carefully
abstain from taking up the position that the provi-
sions of the Bank Act must under all circumstances

be rigorously maintained. Were an impression to
this effect to go forth amongst the community, the
probability is that within a very few days a repeti-
tion of the dead-lock of 1817 would be witnessed.
But what commerce wants is more than a misty
paragraph in the columns of •joni ital. It wants to
be assured authoritatively that, if money be
needed, the requisite supply will not be with-
held through the trammels imposed by a law
which is far behind the requirements of the
eoantry. It needs the great moral effect
which would be produced by the certainty that,
wee at so high a rate as ten, eleven, or even twelve
per emit., a supply of bank notes w ill be obtainable,
'liven in excess of the strict limit imposed by law.
There is as much money in the country sit at any
for.ner period, and trade is becoming contracted,
yet the supply ig utterly inadequate to commercial
necessities, simply because a spirit of alarm is
abroad. Why not allay that alarm by a simple
assurance? Why wait until devastation has raged
amongst the commercial houses of the land? Why,
as in 1847, abut the stable door when the steed
is stolen We admit that the origin►l causes
of the present diiiturbance were essentially'
different from those of the panic of 1817, but the
immediately alarming feature of the disorder, the
disposition to hoard capital, is essentially the same,
sod might be greatly alleviated by the same remedy.
We coomientionsly believe that its adoption now, as
is 1847, would not result in any infringement of
the law. In this case, the often repeated objection
that an increase of paper issues would promote the
etfiux of gold from the country goes for nothing, for
there would be no increase of paper tabus... The
moult would be the same as that witnessed
tee years ago—a subsidence of alarm, and a
death-stroke to the practice of hoarding. It stands
in the evidence given before the first Committee
that in 184 7 many millions of money were tempo-
rarily withheld from circulation and from employ-
ment ; and the same state of things prevail, now.
In 1847, there was no question whatever of the suf-
ficiency of the Bank's stock of bullion, nor any doubt
of 'he convertibility of the bank-note: the same is
the ease now. In these views, we contend, there is
nothing theoretical ; they are based in great part
upon the experience of a former and analogous epoch,
all the facts connected with which have long en-
gaged the attention of every reflecting person.
The epithet " theorist" applies witlt fee mote
force to those who, out of a mere bigotted ad-
herence to a theory, would view with grim
satisfaction the fall of hundreds of commercial
houses, and the bitter &gime of hundreds of
thousands of operatives. Nor do we see anything
of dignity, but much of folly, in the attitude of a
I country which, in the race of nation., encumbers it iclf
with financial fetters of its own forging. 'fu relieve
ourselves of one link of these fetter,, as we were
forced to do ten yearsago,would be wisdom; to call it
degradation is sheer nonsense. We must inevitably
participate to a most serious extent in the monetary
and commercial embarrassments of America and the
Continent, for the unchanging principles which re-
plate the mutual interchanges of nations impera-
tively decree that it &hal be so ; but it would surely
be the height of folly to refuse to avail ourselves of
any means of relief clearly compatible with the
laws of moral right, and with a strict fulfilment of
every national engagement.
