on a totally different foundation from that on pro-
perty.

It is, however, essenLial that this all-important
subject should be b'rne in mind by every in-
dependent con qituency, that it should be
the topic chiefly regarded at every hust-
ings. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has
proved beyond the possibility of doubt the national
advantages resulting from the adoption of a liberal
commercial policy, but he tells us that in doing so he
was only giving a complete view of our financial po-
sition, and that be is not to be considered as having
committed himself in any degree to any future
course. That must altogether depend on " the
opinion of the constituent body ; and so far as he
is able he will carry out the line of policy which
he advocated at the other side of the House."
Every aspirant for senatorial honours, every
would-be representative, must be closely cate-
chised as to his fiscal views. There can be
no excuse for any doubt or hesitation on such
a point. On the solution of the problem will depend
not only the peace and tranquillity, but also the
prosperity and happiness of the country. The
issue is of such vital importance—the results are of
such a character as to render it impossible that
any risk should be incurred on such a sub-
ject. Every fiscal and financial reformer, every
person desirous of carrying out the doctrines of
free trade, and gradually removing the existing
restrictions on the commerce of the country, should
take advantage of the golden opportunity, and ex-
amine the grounds on which the respective candidates
rest their claims of the popular suffrage. We
trust, then, that the different financial reform as-
sociations will exhibit an activity befitting the
occasion—that every man may feel as if the result
of the contest depended on his individual exertions, as
if it was for him to decide whether Schedule D should
be perpetuated in its present monstrous and inequit-
able form, or that it should be so adjusted as to ren-
der it fair and just in itself, and acceptable to the
great body of the people.

MARKET INEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

For the time of year, rather an extensive supply of
English Wheat has arrived up to our market this week,
coastwise, it having amounted to 5,610 quarters, chiefly
from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk. Several samples came
fresh to hand to-day by railway; hence the stands were
tolerably well filled. For all kinds of Wheat of home
produce the demand was heavy, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on Monday, and a total clearance was not
effected. Upwards of 17,000 quarters of Wheat having
come in from abroad, the sale for that article was dull
in the extreme. Fine dry parcels were mostly held at
full quotations ; but all other kinds were lower to
purchase. In fixating cargoes no sales took place.
The aggregate show of Barley was good; but it was
principally composed of low qualities. Malting parcels
sold at previous quotations. Other kinds were the turn
cheaper. Malt met a very dull inquiry, but we have no
actual fall to notice in prices. The supply was on the
icceease. We had a moderate demand for oats—the
show of which was by no means large—at late figures.
Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn commanded very little at-
tention. Flour, owing to the heavy imports from the
United States, was exceedingly heavy,
