(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNkSDAYEL:.) /10
Sir,—On Monday the •17th,.-the Militia, Bill •
proceeded with in Committee. The part inapwill,os
forcible conscription in the event of the numbs 'l4Ol
being raised by voluntary enlistment, was only "tio
by 127 against 110. The argument on which
Ministry rested their refusal to leave the enacti 6A.
of the ballot to a future Parliament, was Extras erlo
nary in its way, end no doubt contributed
smallness of the Ministerial majority. They uiy
that at the present moment the ballot was presen;,.'
the public in conjunction with the pleasant possio to
of its being done without; whereas if left to a fa jet
Parliament, it would only be. brought forward a °ge
the disagreeable nakedness of necessity. A en '„
argumen', to set off against the desirableness of viz"AY
ing till the necessity was proved. • • tlYi
It is not easy to. say, what is the object cd
Government in thus: apparently wooing the intri
57hi
tion of an unpopular measure eight months befor ~"0"r
necessity is proved. 'What is it they expect to 61 5101
What they lose, is sufficiently clear; in pros ,
ug
which, a portion of the daily press is already tEil:,,ej
up the point, as what.must have a substantial 0'
on their chances of official permanence.
The Ministerial organs were loud in their dec4lll:i
tion against exemptions. Which, as in the ct.t
the Income 'l'ax, means that they have got sotniit'bohiro
in a bad pcsitior, and mean to keep them so. At;
same time it is jukt to mention, that they prod 5,0
some alteration in the law in cenncc'ed with: 7
power of distraint on the members of the Social id
Friends. A sort of giggle ran along the
benches when the subject was first moved. But
leaders were wiser than the followers.

TO THE' EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Queen of Spain see ks to fistter Engle* 'to
conferring the Order of the Golden Fie, co on the Pt Ty
of Wales. It would be much better for this proud re
tine, boasting of her resource; and poesessing a vall de
crease of roenue, to act honestly by her foreign. ir
ditors, to whose money and forbearauco she owes het roe
dependence. Spanish principle is to borrow-01Y 404
thing. For eleven year confiscata one-half the into, iofe
and give one per cent. on the other moiety. We 'oil
now a Consf-rvativa or Protectionist Government--
the "Press" and Lord Malmesbury do nothing ?

MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at P 01,
is about 5 per mille prem. (according to the new tariff ). wit fat
at the English Mint price of W. 17s. 10td. per ounce ev
standard vld, gives an exchange of 25.29 t ; and the. 00
change at Paris on London at short being 25.45, it foil hi!
that gold is about 0.61 per cent. dearer in London t+ oln,
in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price Tice.o;
is 431 per mark, which, at the Enerlish Mint pr! 1
3/. 17s. lOttL per ounce for standard gold, gives an eXc,bB et _
8$
of 13.8; and the exchange at Ilamburgh on Lon Gen. it:
short being 13.91, it follows that gold is about 0.69 perueu;
dearer in 1 mndoa than in Hamburgh The course of il
change at New York on London for bills at 60 Bigbsdays' ,130 0
110 A per cent., and the par of exchange between to tb 1.
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that .
exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent: in favour Cf "1,1;1307
But, after making allowance for charges of transperrtal pia
present rate leaves no margin of profit on the if:PP°
of gold from the United States. .
