the /risco proposed by the Noble Seteretary, the
operation is one of doubtful result. and whielt

years. The proposed loan of four millions to

; iag their rates us a security, caned* at any Pos-
sibility, give relief to the agrienktiriets strug-
gling la their individual capacities against the seve-
rity of fortune. And what 111)811 be void of the re-
duction of one shilling a bushel in the war malt
duty ? The people have looked for a far more ex-
teusive repeal of taxes; and frotn the trooper
and tone of mind &plumed at the ntamerons
meeting% which have taken place throughout the
kingdom, we may confidently say that they will
not be satisfied with so paltry • concession as
this of 1,500,000!. As • mean of relief it is quite
futile; and indeed it is remit kable that shell the
Goon was announced by Lord LONDONDERRY in
mite House of Commons, it did not produce one so-
bury cheer, even frem his own side of the !louse.
The 'Perch of the Noble Marquis was • strange
and incongruous mixture of hopes and disappoint-
merits, of promises and assumptions, front which it
is difficult to collect any positive principle, oK any ;
substantive fact which might govern the future
transactions of either the Istided proprietor or the
bolder of government secoritier. The agriculturist
who suffered himself to be elevated by the hope of
ministerial desistance, must now feel himself sadly
disappointed ; he stands now in precisely the mole
illumins as before the promised exposition. The
Stock Exchange appeared on Saturday almost pe-
rdlyeed. The whole of the Noble Secretary's finance
details were the gay but visionary fancies of a
mind not accustomed to the delicate operations
'of the Stock Exchange. Every point was snout-
ed in argument, and the eslculetions of future
gains were brought out as flippantly as if those
whose intereets were deeply involved in the ope-
rations propounded by the Noble Lord, were
to remain the passive and indifferent spectators
of measures which must seriously affect their
ketones. The Ministers, in their proposed scheme
of altering the denominations of the respective
stocky, will, we apprehend, find them more stub-
born rubjects than they now seem to anticipate.
Their power dues not extend to maintaining them
ut their present rates in the market, and it is obvi-
ous that every alteration, such us the nature of their
measures must produce, will have the necessary
effect of dissipating in the same proportion the
golden prospects with which the Noble Marquis
and his colleagues appear to felicitate themselves
and the country.
Lord LONDONDERRY has assored Parliament
that the utmost anxiety of the Ministers to give-fug
efft et to the concludiog Resolution of the House of
Commons in the last Session, in favour of retreads.
sent, could not accomplish • greater saving in Ilse
public expenditure than something about two
millions. The CHANCELP,OR of the EXCHEQUER
will this evening furnish the details of this retrench-
meat, and must further prove to the Houseor Com-
mons that the proposed estimates are absolutely
necessary for the safety and honour of the country ;.
he must shew that the additional million which
Lord LouDONDkaRY said 012 Friday night might
be saved next year, cannot be safely taken this year
from the amount of the estimates. We are told
'that therevenue of the country is rapidly improving*
and fist the increase since the sth of January has
amounted to 220,000!. as compared with the corre-
sponding period in the last year. This stateinent of
fere a strong reason for yieldiug to the people a much
larger remission of taxes than is now promised; and
considering that the proposed estimates for the en-
suing year are three millions lower than were the
estimates for the year 1819, when it was el. eined
advisable to impose additional taxes to the amount
of three millions, the public may now very reason.
ably require the repeal of those three 'Millais, with.
out presuming that the reduction would in any re-
spect derange the financial' measures of the Cos re.
CEI.LOR of the Excites:lute. We think that the
Ministers will not find Lord LONDONDERRY'S state-
ment so very conclusive as they seemed to have
expected by the tones of anticipated triumph with
which they had refered to it. The nation cannot be
satisfied with the delusive hopes which it affects to
hold out, and if the House of Commons; virtually
represent the feelings of the people of England, it
will compel the Ministers to make other and far
more important sacrifices.

The Marynis of LONDONDERRY'S sl:►tement
sirs so imperfectly understood in the City en Sam-
day, hardly any one seemed to know how to act.
Consols opened at 78, and clewed at 78i. The
effect of his Lordship's statement was therefore
rather unfovuurable.

The Navy Estimates for the present year have
been laid on the table of she House of COllllllOll2.
A copy of them is given 111 another part of our
Paper. The sum total is 1,781,9211. The amount
or the printed esiininits of last year was 1,866,150/.
Drc►ene in favour of she presesii year 84,8351.
