Tull ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.—Amongst the re-
cent communications received by Mr. G. Wilson, as Chair-
man of the League, the following letter from Lord Kinnaird
will, be read with interest:—" Rossie Priory, March 25,
1852.—My dear Sir,— I shell be obliged by your again en-
rolling my name as a member of the Anti-Corn-law League;
and glad, indeed, am 1 to see the position the League has
assumed at the present important crisis. Experience has
shown what I always maintained, that the Corn-law is a
landlord's, and not a farmer's, question ; and the landlords
are surprised that the farmers, who have been told that they
mast be ruined by the repeal of this law, should- turn round
and ask for a reduction of rent. But lam satisfied that, in a
very short time, the farmers will find that they have bene-
fited as much as other classes in the country by the with-
drawal of what was, after all, very much a nominal protec=
tion, as it has led to a proper adjustment of rent, and di-
rected attention more especially to the beat means for in-
creasing the production of the land. I believe proprietors
are rapidly coming round to see how desirable it is that the
question should be finally settled, and are averse to being
parties to putting their hands into the pocket of the poor
man for the purpose•of adding to their rent-roll. It is quite
. evident that the present Government are playing a double
game to obtain votes at the next election; but if the coun-
try declares against protection, it is also evident that the
leaders are quite prepared to throw their deluded followers
over.—Yours faithfully, KismaiaD.—George-Wilson, Esc.,
National Anti-Corn-law League."
MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 2 per mille prem. (according to the new tariff ), wbioh,
at the English Mint price of 31. 1.78.100. pee ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of-25.22; ind the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being '25.35, it follows
that gold is about 0.51 per cent. dearer in London than
in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price -of
31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13.74 ; and the exchange cfhoallnogwes atth

WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.
Sir R. 11. INGLIS said he had given notice to the
Noble Lord the First Commissioner of Works, of a
question with teapot to the state of Westminster-
bridge. Six years ago the state of the bridge was such
that a Committee appointed to consider it reported that
it was necessary to pull it down and rebuild it. Four
years ago another Committee came to the name conclu-
sion, as did also a Commission appointed in 1851. Iler
Majesty's late advisers had prepared a Bill fur the 1)111.-
1.43.0 of transferring to the dep.rtment over which his
Noble Friend (Lord J. Manners) presided, the properly
of the Westminster Bridge Gioaissioners, and it was
reonninanded that the Bill should be brought in with-
out delay, with the view of having a new bridge erected.
The Gill having been ace irdingly prepared, and all the
needful notices having been men, the question he de.
sired to put was, under what circumstances, and by
what advice, had the postponemor,t of the execution of
such it,tention taken place ? The bridge was no better
now than it was when the recommendation alluded to
was made, and the opinions of eminent engineers re-
mained the same.

Lord J. MANNERS said he had felt it incumbent
upon him, on entering upon his present office, to make
some inquiry as to the necessity of introducing that mea-
sure in this session of Parliament The engineer whom
ho consulted, however, did not consider there was any
urgent necessity for the construction of a now bridge this
session. Her Majesty's Government, therefore, taking
into consideration the silence of the report of the Com-
mission as to the probable expense of the new erection,
were of opinion that it was inexpedient to introduce a
Bill for the purpose rebuilding the bridge in the present
session.
Lord SEYMOUR—WouId the Noble Lord objeqt to
lay on the table of the House a letter from Mr. Walker,
repot, iug- on the stability of the bridge.--(bear.)
Lord. J. MANNERS_I hold it in my band now.—
(Cries of "Read.")
The subject then dropped.

mons for the inspection of the public on Saturdays, sad

PARK IN FINSBURY.
Lord ROBERT GItasVENOR asked the Chancellor
of the Exchequer whether it_ was the intention of the
Government .to assent . to the formation of a park at
Finsbury? •
,The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said her
Majeity's present Government, equally with her late
'Government, were extremely d,sirous to encourage and
to carry out all those undertakings, the object of which
.was to lumen the health and erkvyment of the-great
body of the country, but with regard to the parttuular
b
question .on which the Noble Lord addressed .him, he
begged to ellite*.that. the demand which had been made
for making a park was a very large amount—about
400,000 I.—and,.—and, although extremely desirous, ot, course, to
assist the people in an object
which was so legitimate as the
One in question, still he must remember that when so large
a sum was demanded be must look to the interests of the
great body of the
people who paid the taxes, out of
which the 400,000/, would have to be defrayed. lie
Confessed that until ho had been able to give more con-
sideration to the subject
he could not undertake to
pledge the Government that they would, without some
hesitation, make that considerable advance out of the
general funds of the community to wbioh the Noble
Lord referred, but at the same time he could assure him
that the subject would be thoroughly and impartially
considered.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
this was a question which concerned the general taxa-

ber of the Government to speak upon it except himself.
Fie had already given a frank answer to an Hon. Mem-
ber opposite on the subject. tie said then, and he would
repeat it that he would very shortly make on the part
