It is useless to-day to speculate on the financial
prospects of 1862. The general tendency of Eng-
lishmen is to anticipate the worst, and hence we
may hope that, whatever may be their apprehensions,
the result will be better than they would now con-
jecture. At the commencement of the year just
closed they were disposed to fancy that their gold
would be drained away because the channel of pay-
ment for American grain and cotton happened to
be diverted from the east to the west, and at the end
we ind that our stock has increased 25 per cent.,
and is considerably in excess of the average of the
last 15 years. At the same time, although most
persons were still inclined to believe that the Ame-
rican people would not be found either so wicked
or so mad as to enter into a sanguinary civil war,
the most gloomy pictures were drawn of the future
probabilities of our Lancashire population. Yet the
worst that could have happened in America has
taken place, and with mid-winter passed we see the
capitalists and operatives of Manchester boldly
meeting the situation without suspensions of pay-
ment on one hand, or any appeal to national aid on
the other. Although our habit of distrust is invete-
rate, the country has no reason to look with alarm
at any of the contingencies before it. Indeed, in a
commercial sense it would be difficult to determine
whether in the present conjuncture our interests
would be promoted most by war or by peace. A
superficial glance would seem to tell in favour of
war, since, contrary to all former precedents, war
would now restore commercial intercourse, instead
of interrupting it. The whole of America is at this
moment closed against the mercantile operations of
Europe—the North by the Morrill Tariff, and the
South by the blockade, which, by the barbarous ex-
pedient of choking up all the harbours, is threa-
tened soon to be rendered in some degree perma-
nent. Hostilities would at once liberate the com-
merce of the South, and remove the cotton question
from the list of the world's terrors, giving us at the
same time 8,000,000 ready customers for our manu-
factured goods. Oa the other hand, it is not easy
to see that we should be exposed to damages that
would greatly counterbalance these effects. Our
shipping might be temporarily affected by the
action of privateers, but the captures on one side
would be met by those on the other, and, as Ame-
rican commanders would probably find no ports for
their prizes and little shelter for themselves, the
risk of English vessels would, it may be hoped, soon
become little more than nominal. As regards our
general commerce, it would, of course, be entirely
free from disturbance. The regulation that gives
immunity to cargoes in neutral ships prevents for
the future all anxieties on that point ; and, as the
power of carrying on the war depends upon money,
and money depends upon trade, England, as the
nation of greatest trade, may always rely on her
ability in a just cause to exhaust every opponent.
It is true that, supposing the war to be protracted
through the year, we should have no supply of
American grain, but this would be a disaster for
America, not for ourselves. The New York journals
gravely assure their credulous readers that the
withholding their wheat and flour would cause mil-
lions in England to experience starvation, and be
infallibly followed by a revolution. The fact is,
however, that the choice whether our custom shall
be given to Russia or to America is always simply
' a question of a shilling or two per quarter, and the
Americans, in their eager contemplation of rebellion
on this side, while they are punishing it with fire
and sword and tke gallows at home, forget to ik-
quire what would be the condition of their own far-
mers with the produce of their labour rotting for
want of buyers. Thus, there is nothing in the com-
mercial state of the case to give us uneasiness. The
parties who insist that we should bow meekly to the
Trent outrage ask us to look at the cost of the
Russian war, and what we gained by it, to show
that submission in any case is always most profitable.
But they could not make a more unfortunate re-
ference, for while they themselves are entirely re-
sponsible for that war by having deceived the Em-
peror Nicholas into the belief that we should never
attempt to redress any outrage on the comity of
nations, its results in pecuniary and commercial
respects have been favourable in a degree never con-
templated, from the impulse it gave to the trade of
India, and which has never since been lost. In the
same way we might trust, even if unable to conjec-
ture how it could come about, that another war in
defence of righteous principles, recognised by all
the civilised world, and carried on without a thought
of national animosity or a desire for aggrandise-
ment, will be followed by results such as will cause
us to look with no mortification on the sacrifices it
may have rendered necessary.—lines' City Article.
