THE STATE OF THE CONTINENT.
Ane ilforning Star describes Lord Palmerston's speech,
en Friday night, as parfectly admirable in tone and
Pirit, and worthy to influence the councils of Europe,
411(1 well calculated to raise the character of English
statesmanship.
The Daily News praises Lord Palmerston for the dis-
Z;etion and disinterestedness with which he or
Parliament
task ; but remarks that the question is, if the British
t ajliament in both Houses were satisfied with the minis-
terial assurances on Friday night ? If, as we doubt not,
e Funds fly up this morning (Saturday), is the peace of
ollrope really and truly more secure than it was twenty
-
11r hours since ? Or are we being dragged into a new
quagmire of diplomatic interventions with other Powers,
ul the hope of patching up a momentary pacific arrange-
kent.

COMMERCIAL.
The Funds sheaved renewed heaviness, owing almost
exclusively to news received of a decided fall on the Paris
Bourse. The Funds left off one-eighth to a quarter per
cent. lower than yesterday. The fortnightly settlement
in shares and foreign stocks commenced to-day. In the
Discount Market to-day the demand is rather more
active ; but first-class bills were taken at 2 to 2,1 per
cent. The Bank have now commenced to make their
usual quarterly advances, up. to the 13th of April, on
approved mercantile bills having as much as six months
to run, and on Government securities. In the Stock
xchange the rates for loans on Government securities
are merely nominal. There were no operations in gold
at the Bank to-day. The Peninsular and. Oriental
Company's steamer Orissa will take out £323,690 in
'silver, for Bombay, on the 27th inst., the whole on private
account. The Bank returns of last night afford
a striking illustration of the glut of money.
-the reserve of notes and coin exceeds £14,000,000
Srterling, whilst the coin and bullion have reached
-.40,000,000. In consequence of the uneasiness which
prevails in all quarters, a further considerable rise took
place this afternoon in the Exchanges on Austria. Bills
Zen n c y
Rolland and Hamburgh were enquired for, and the
of the rates was rather less favourable to this
country
