THURSDAY EVENING: NOVEMBER 22, 1849.

Gentleman to confine hmself to a proper tone of dis-
cussion.
M. Raspail, jun., then vent on to argue on the facility
of forming a ministry without including a banker
amongst its members, aid declared that by so doing the
choice of the President )f the Republic would not be
any way circumscribed, since he had himself deslared
in his works that he siould take good care never to
appoint a banker miniter.—(Movement.) The Hon.
Gentleman concluded bycalling on the Assembly to take
the proposition into consderation.—(Marks of indigna-
tion on the Right.)
M. do Larochdaqueln ascended the tribune amidst
cries of " Do not reply.' He merely intended, he said,
to inform the Assembly sf, what had passed before the
Committee. M. Raspail, when invited to explain his
views, answered, " I have not studied the question so as
to bo able to enter into my development.—(Laughter.)
He added, " But it appears to me that a Minister of
Finance can speculate at the Bourse more than any
other."
On the Left—Certainly; be is quite right.
M. de Larochejaquelin—He then cited the fact of
1,500,000 f. having been gained by a Minster of Finance.
M. Raspail, jun.—l did not say a Minister of Finance.
M. de Larecisejaquelin—l heard what the Hon. Gen
tleman said, and I think that I can take on me to declare
that he said a Minister of Finance. But since he now
withdraws that expression, I shall be content to take
that of Minister. We called on M. Raspail to name
the person, but he said nothing.
On the Left—He acted quite right!
On the Right—lt is shameful !
M do Larochejaquelin—M. Raspail is a young man
in political matters, but as he grows older he will learn
that one of the greatest evils in politics is to dissemi-
nate calumnies which he caanot prove.—(Hear, hear.)
But ho ought to have taken a lesson from his own
party, and remember that the Provisional Government
chose two bankers, one after the other, for Ministers of
Finance.—(Hear, hear.)
Voices—M. Gamier Pages was no banker.
M. de Rochejaquelin—No; but M. Goudchaux was,
and after him M. Trouve Chauvel.—(Hear, hear.) Was
there anything to be said against these gentlemen? Cer-
tainly not. What M. Raspail proposes would not be a
progress, but a backward step in the morality of the
nation, for it would imply a doubt. It is natural that a
Minister of Finance should be selected from amongst
those who are best acquainted with financial matters,
and consequently it was nothing wonderful to find a
banker selected. The committee is unanimous in calling
on you to reject the proposition.
M. de Montebello—M. Raspail has brought to the
alt is
permissible to believe that he reckoned on the disgust
which he would inspire us with—(Bear, hear)—to
escape all demands for explanation.—(Hear, hear.) But
there is an assertion which I cannot allow to pass unno-
ticed—that which relates to a pretended letter from
some sovereign to King Louis Philippe. I summon M.
Raspail to ascend the tribune and produce that letter, or
at least to state its contents.—(Loud applause.)
M. Raspail, jun.—l have no answer to make to the
last speaker—(Ah, ah)—but I shall reply to the com-
mittee.—(No, no. Answer what relates to your calumny.)
I cited a fact which is notorious. Every one knows
it.—(Oh, oh.)
From the Benches of the Committee—lt is a calumny.
M. Raipail,jun.—l regret that M. de Larochejaquelin
should
...imagine that I intended any thing personal
against the Minister of Finance.—(oh, oh.)
M. do Larochejaquelin—l sever said a word on the
subject.—(Laughter.)
On the Right—The letter, the letter!
M. Raspail, jun.—He leas mentioned that M. Trouve
Chauvel and M. Goudchaux were bankers; but I myself
was the first to admit that other Ministers could also
speculate at the Bourse.
A Voice—Of what use is your proposition, then ?
(Laughter.)
Voices on the Right—The letter! the letter!
M. Respell then descended from the tribune in the
midst of jeers and laughter.
The President—The Hon. Gentleman admitting that
he is unable to reply to the interpellations of the as-
sembly, I proceed to put to the vote the conclusions of
the committee, recommending that the proposition shall
not be entertained.
The Assembly being consulted decided by an immense
majority that the proposition should not be taken into
consideration.
The sitting was brought to a close at six o'clock.
M. DUPIN and his friends, the reactionaries, are
doing the cause of liberalism infinite service in com-
ing forward as the defenders of MM. TESTE and
CURIERES, and thus establishing a solidarite between
the members of the reactionary party and these con-
victed criminals. Nossitur a soicis is a maxim we
commend to the especial study of the constituents of
M. DUPIN and of the other friends and abettors of
M. TESTE.
Some of the journals, not satisfied with the
dismissal from the army of M. PIERRE BONA-
PARTE, demand that he shall be brought to a court-
martial for having quitted his post without orders.
It is said that M. PIERRE BONAPARTE is about to
publish a justification of his conduct.
The .'doniteur publishes a list of twenty
prefects who are removed or displaced.
It is said that M. FoULD is-about to retire from
office, in consequence of the desire expressed by the
PRESIDENT of the Republic to continue the abolition
of the tax upon potable liquors.
At the commencement of the sitting of the As-
sembly yesterday M. CREMIEUX expressed a wish to
know whether the Government intended to afford
any assistance to those who were wounded in the re-
volution of February, when N. SEGUR D'AGUESSEAU
remarked that those who were the most worthy of
assistance were the municipal guards who were
attacked on that occasion. These observations
gave rise to the most violent outburst from the
Mountain, and for an hour the Chamber was the scene
of the most uproarious tumult, and several Members
of the Left were called to order by name. M.
BERTHOLIN reproached the President with being
the tool of this majority, instead of acting as the
president of a Republican Assembly.—(Cries of
{dive la Republique' and "A has les factieue were
raised.) After order had been restored, the Chamber
proceeded to discuss the Bill relative to the naturaliza-
tion of foreigners, the discussion on which possessed
nothing of interest.
PARIS BOURSE, WEDNESDAY, Nor. 21.
The market opened with some firmness, at a alight
advance on the closing quotations of yesterday, and for
a time kept looking up, but towards the close many sales
were made to realise prbfits, and prices again gave way,
to close rather lower than on the previous day, Threes
leaving off at 57f. 5c., and Fives at 89f. 85c. The mar-
ket closed as follows :—Threes for cash, 57f.; for ac-
count, 57f. 5c.; Fives, for cash, 89f. 80c.; for account,
89f. 85c.; Bank of France Shares, 2,395 f.; Neapolitan,
90f. 50c.; Spanish Threes, 35ff.; Ditto Fives, not quoted.
RAILWAYS.—The Share Market has not been very
lively, with but very slight variation in quotations.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 6,000 bales, including 2,000 American on
speculation; and comprised 4,500 American, at 51d to
7d., 150 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to 71d, 300
Bahia, at 61cl. to 60. 100 Egyptian, at 71d. to 71d.,
and 400 Surat, at 41d. to qd. per lb. The market
closed rather tamely, and, compared with Friday's rates,
prices of American were id. to *d. lower, and Brazil
and Egyptian, 8d.—Railway Shares declined consi-
derably.
The colonial produce markets are not very lively, and
the accounts from India advise us of the probability of
large supplies of sugar from the Mauritius.
It may be interesting to note that a report was read
at a meeting of the City of London Board of Guardians
held this week upon the subject of the smoke nuisance,
and which stated that coke was not found to be of suffi-
cient strength for the fire apparatus, and to prevent the
smoke from being a nuisance to the neighbourhood a
shaft twenty feet higher should be added.
Accounts from Amsterdam, give Tuesday's quotation
for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 531, and
Spanish Three per Cents. 27 1-16.

morning, the determination has been come to of re-

land Directors. Consols have ranged from 94t to 941

plish a saving of two millions per annum in the expen-
diture. The Three per Cents. have been 361 to
