The idea that the Bank of England must lower its rate
of discount is still entertained, but no step in that direc-
tion has been taken up to this time. It may, under cir-
cumstance., be useful to defer the change for a week or
two, because if we have the excitement of a general elec-
tion there will be, temporarily, more demand for cash,
and the customary shyness among capitalists in launching
out pending the uncertainty of the issue. Most impartial
men are of opinion that if a reversal of free-trade policy is
to be commenced, if even the slightest alteration in that
direction be made, the consequences must be most per-
nicious; the more fact of false hopes being inspired
among the Colonial planters and the British agricul-
turists, just as they are settling down on a wholesome
basis, and having their burdens adjusted, being enough
to destroy confidence. What would occur supposing a
Rouse of Commons is formed that will overturn
past legislation in any important degree, one
might well contemplate with deep anxiety, were
such a House likely to be formed, which few can
believe now the country has enjoyed the blessing of
cheap food, however imperfect the electoral system is
known to be in affording fair representation for the people
at large.
The Stock Market is particularly quiet, and the only

FREEDOM AND DIGNITY OF TUB PB.EBS.—Speak-
jog of those En. glish gentlemen who have partaken of the
hospitalities of the Prince Louis Napoleon at the Elys6a
and the Tuileries, a correspondent of the Times ex-
presses himself thus temperately—" They who accept
hospitalities from a rebel, a traitor, a liar, a perjure!, a
butcher, and a robber are not a ?alit better than they
should be." Is it possible the Prince President can sur-
vive this ?
