METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The courier of last evening, alluding to the Education
money grant agreed to last night in the Commons, says :
" The resolution for the grant of money for Educational
purposes was last night finally agreed to. Sir Robert
Peel declined all further opposition. He thought the
subject had been abundantly discussed, and the sene of
the House fully taken upon it—all but four-and-twenty
.tlembers having in one form or other expressed their
opinions. In-wad of troubling the Flue by another
division, therefore, he agreed at once to the adoption of
the resolution. fhe truth is that the Tory leader knew
perfectly well that he could not possibly be in a better po-
sition. He could not hope. by any probable turn of the
game of chances, to come off more gloriously than with a
minority of two. According to good calculation be would
have found himself on- the third division much less lucky
than he was in the first trial. As he had no prospect of
agoin finding himself in so flattering a minor-it) as five, he
was quite prudent in being satisfied with his two, arid aban-
doning the contention."
The Globe, referring to an article on the " Household"

n the last number of the Quarterly Review, observes
We are astonished that the Tories have the face to
recur to Queen Anne's days for precedents against the
right of a Queen to ' call her Household her own.'
Was not that eminently Tory Sovereign their own
/good• Queen Anne ?' Was not her whole power de-
voted to propping Church and State against Whig
machinations? Were not all the pretexts which under-
mined Godolphin and Marlborough precisely the same as
have since alienated weak Sovereigns from liberal Ministers?
Was not Queen Anne told the Church was in danger ;
and did not Queen Anne therefore, by pious frauds, rid
herself of one Whig Minister after another, as subsequent
Monarchs have been induced by similar fears to the awe
course? The Quarterly will not admit that Anne had a
weak bead and ignoble heart,' and therein the Quarterly
shows a remnant of prud•'nce as well as a gleam of grati-
tude. For assuredly her weak head and ignoble heart,'
if such they were, were most strenuously, and for the time
sucessfully, devoted to the service of Toryism."
The Standard thus alludes to the fact of yesterday being
the anniversary of her Majesty's Coronation :—‘• This day
is the anniversary of her Majesty's Coronation—a day tie-
exampled in England for its splendour and for the expres-
sio:-. of a loyal enthusiasm. Anniversaries are the me-
mentos of serious reflection, and certainly a comparison of
the state of feeling this day and this day tw, lvemonth is not
pleasant. We have no doubt that the devoted fidelity of the
people to their Queen, their readiness to protect her from
wrong or injury, at any risk, are as firm and certain as they
were a year ago. But, questionless, the prevailing senti-
ment to-day is not the same with the prevailing sentiment
on the 28th of June, 1839. Let the Queen's real friends
call upon Lord Melbourne to explain why ? For ourselves,
we hope to see our young and amiable Queen once more
surrounded by affectionate, admiring, and enthusiastic mil-
lions, as she was upon the dal. of the solemn ratification of
her compact with her people..'
The Morning Chronicle makes the following comments
on the education grant, and the benefits likely to result
from it :—" By the education grant, which is safe at last,
two points of some importance are gained for the public.
The schools receiving the grant will be open to the visits
of inspectors, and the distribution will no longer be
.con-

fined to the two great Societies. Both these points are of
more value than may at first appear. Voluntary schools
soon degenerate, when there is not a competent and
regular inspection. Especially is this likely to be the
case with schools established by large bodies, and in
the spirit of competition. The zeal of their founders
soon evaporates. The teacher is left uncheered by sym-
pathy and co-operation. The most probable interference
is that of meddlesome and incompetent persons, who only
thwart 'and annoy him in his best endeavours. Yet the
school looks well upon paper, figures in a report, and
answers as much as if it were ever so efficient, for the pur-
poses of a flourish at a public meeting, or of retort in Par-
liamentary debate. The fact that two or three Societies
number more children in their returns than actually live
and breathe in the kingdom, is of itself sufficient to indicate
the true character of voluntary, competitive, and party
exertion, as a substitute for National Education."

The Times, in reference to the national education
scheme, thus summons the Bishops to the rescue, hinting
at the same time, in most significant terms, that it is re-
ported that they are somewhat lukewarm on the subject:—
" Rumours have got abroad—we trust and are persuaded
fa!se rumours, put in motion for sinister ends—that some
repugnance has been manifested in quarters which have
heretofore commanded the most implicit respect and confi-
dence from the people to take any strong or decided course
against this most despicable of all Governments that ever
were inflicted on the British empire. We believe not the
fact. It is incredible. But were it true, that certain of
the lay Lords hung back, where the question was their
originating measures for the defence aril vindication of the
Church of England, what has become of the Bish ,pa ?
Where is the Archbishop of Canterbury—a mild, but when
roused a manly and uncompromising Prelate? Where i 3
the Bishop of London—a champion not unfitted for
troublous times? Have they forsaken the Church, of
which it is not enough that they should 1:1; ornaments,
when she cries aloud for defenders ? If the lay, Lords,
to their own shame, hang back, let the Archbishop of
Canterbury man the breach, and see what Conservative
Peer of the realm, nay, what good Protestant on either
side, will dare to leave the virtuous Primate of England
unsupported."

The Morning Advertiser expresses itself on the question
of the Ballot in these terms ;—" We turn with ple,;sure
from the pharisaical cant of the objection to the Ballot on
the ground of its alleged immorality, to the plain-speaking
and unvarnished Toryism of the Times. That journal de-
nounces the Ballot because it would transfer all power to
the numerical majority' of the electors, and would there-
fore greatly strengthen democracy.' In other words,
because the secret suffrage would enable voters to give
practical expression to their real opinions—would invest
the numerical majority of the constituency with that power
to which the Constitution entitles them, but which they have
never yet fully enjoyed. This is a very candid admission
on the part of the Times. We cordially concur with the
great Conservative organ ; that would indeed be the effect
of the adoption of the ballot."

The Morning Post, speaking of the registration of
births and deaths' scheme, says—" Perhaps when the Mi-
nisters started the registration scheme they thought it
would work well and afford useful information, It is clear
that if they did think so they were mistaken, and expe-
rience now shows them that all which their registration
machinery has done is worse than nothing. Why not,
then, abandon it ? Aye, there comes the pinch ; it is
very inconvenient to abandon what gives one's brother-in.
law an extremely good place, besides extending the mi-
nute fibres of Ministerial power and patronage through ail
the towns, villages, and hamlets of the kingdom."
The Morning Herald sneers at Ministers for their post-
ponement of the Canada question, observing—" Lord John
Russell has intimated that he and his colleagues do not
intend, in any way, to grapple during the present session,
with the difficulties that stand in the way of good govern-
ment for the Canadas. Everything is, as usual, to be left
by the Mt lbourne Cabinet to chance—to the chapter of ac-
cidents. The boundary question, however, craves speedy
adjustment, in some way or other. The democratic party
in the United States will not permit that question to slum-
ber. Ministers, therefore, are compelled to make some
preparations, in order to meet the emergency ; and we
have heard that they have appointed two Commissioners,
with instructions to proceed immediately to the disputed
territory for the purpose of surveying it."

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

TIMES.—To external appearance the panic in the
city has materially abated, but it would be to adopt a most
unsafe conclusion to suppose that all danger is over. It
may be stated with very little reserve tint this is not the
case in the Bank parlour; and moreover, that one of the
most certain modes of renewing the alarm which prevailed
at the end of last week, and in the beginning of this,
would be the diffusion of a general belief among the mer-
cantile circh s that we are in a safe position, or even that
our prospects as to monetary affairs are yet materially
improved. The chief source from which the better feeling
of the last three days has sprung is the unexpected firm-
ness with which the restrictive measures of the Bank have
been met in manufacturing districts. But the effort by
which it was accomplished must have been prodigiously
great—one which has called for all the combined
power of the Joint-Stock Banks and of the trading
interest, and which may, after all, prove insufficient
for the purpose. Some persons also attach import-
ance to the trifling reaction which has occurred in the fo-
reign exchanges, but that prognostic has failed several
times lately, and any rise in the price of corn, which the
market seems to threaten, would frtetually f. twrate it.
Further time is necessary before any confidence can be de—
rived from this source. Should the rise in the exchanges
continue, and, further, should the bill transactions of the
next month and the repayments to the Bank of England
la, sustained with tolerable firmness, then, and not sooner,
can the money market be pronounced to be in a better po•
sition. In the meantime, the more speculation is abstained
from, and credit transactions liedtcd, the better.

Mucit /as been said lately of arrangements with th,:,
Bank of France for a supply of bullion, should it be wanted,
to die Batik of England, but it is ascertained that the stock
of the former consists almost wholly of silver, which, under
our present system, would not answer the purpose.
The formation of the new banking establishment, the
Commercial Bauk of London, is going on favourably in tl e
midst of the crisis, which, in ordinary cases, would be fatal
to such undertakings. Many large subscriptions to it have
been made from the country and from Scotland, proving
how far extended the desite is to encourage all attempts to
improve the system of banking in London.
Some exertions, it is understood, have been made to act
upon and improve the exchanges by the remittance of
Dutch and other foreign securities to Amsterdam, when:,
the prices have lately been rather higher than in this mar-
ket. Money continues scarce out of doors, but in the
English stock-market it has not been so much in demand
as previously. The transactions in the funds were not of
much importance, but they continued slightly to improve.
This was settling-day in the foreign-i ouse, and sonic
pressure was experienced for money, for which rates equal
to 15 per cent. continuation and above were given upon
Peninsular and Spanish American Securities. The quota-
tions of all kinds of foreign securities improved.
Railway shares were rather better, except Blackwall,
which declined to 31 to 2, discount.
The exchanges remain with very slight variation and
without general improvement.

CHRONICLE.—Very little business has been trans
acted in the Money Market to-day (Friday). Several
small loans have been effected at 4 and 5 per cent. for a
few days forward ; but it is expected that money will be
more scarce between this time and the period of paying the
dividends. A few "bear" accounts in Consols have been
bought in to-day at 93i, and they closed at 93i to
which is a further improvement upon yesterday's quotations.
They had been done during the morning at 93/. Re-
duced Three per Cents. left off at 92 to Exchequer
Bill are 263. to 293. premium; and Bank Stock at 189
to 191.

This was settling-day in the Foreign Market, which
passed over very quietly and satisfactorily, in consequence
of the improved state of the Money Market. All kinds of
Foreign Securities are higher, and present a favourable
appearance. The continuation on Portuguese was
3-16ths per cent. A good deal of business was done in
Chilian Stock, but principally amongst the jobbers.
Shares are also quoted higher; but there has not been
a great deal going on in them.

It was generally expected throughout the day that the
rites of Exchange would present a considerable improve
ment ; but we regret to say this impression was not
realised. The rates certainly were firm, but without any
advance.

The private accounts from the United States are ge-
nerally satisfactory. The advices from this country of the
increase in the value of money, and the depreciation in the
price of cotton had certainly created some uneasiness.; but
not at all to the extent that was anticipated on this side of
the Atlantic. Indeed, money continued abundant ; and
there were no symptoms of restrictive measures being
adopted by the banks. The chief attention of all parties
were di, ected to the famous cotton circular, which we an-
nounced a few days since as a gross forgery, and cautioned
the public not to place any confidence in it. The discus-
sim,, however, was rapidly drawing to a close, as the parties
who were first considered as being the active persons in the
business had distinctly denied any knowledge of it. Indeed,
it is now supposed to have originated with one or two gen.
tlemen in the Southern States, and some persons in New
York, who," a correspondent just,y remarks, " have
rather written down what they would like to see done, than
what they have provided the means of actually doing." It
would appear, in fact, that a Mr. Wilder, of New York,
has had something to do with it.

HE RA L D.—With regard to the state of commerce in
the United States, the majority of the private letters concur
in stating that the commerce of the country was com-
pletely shattered for the present. It will, therefore, re-
quin. every exertion on the pout of the Bank of England
to control our market, and restrain the issue of paper drawn
to force and create the existing fictitious sales of American
cotton in our markets. Money for the present continues
rather easier on the commercial markets; at the same time
the actual exportation of bullion to the northern part of
the Continent still continues, and, as compared with the
actual official returns of last week, was considerably in-
creased. Silver in bars has been exported between the
20th and the 26 h of June to the amount of 49.920 ounces,
and in coin to the amount of 247,344 ounces. Gold in
coin has been exported during the same period to the
amount of 11,750 ounces, and in bars to the amount of
6,570 ounces.

la the Continental Exchanges there has not been much
activity, neither has there been any improvement.
The British Funds are very steady, and Consols may be
quoted at firmer rates.
This has beta settling day in the Foreign Market, and,
consequently, there has been rather more business. The
arrangement of the account, wnich has turned out to be
of a bear character, has passed over more favourably than
was anticipated, in consequence of the turn in the Money
Market. The principal brokers were enabled to carry
over their accounts at five per cent. per annum, %ila
some of the screws were compelled to submit to higher
rates of interest.
In the Share Market there has been no improvement.
