strength at Constantinople the Bosphorus will con-
tinue open ton ordinary occasions to our merchandise,
and to onr vessels of war on any sudden emergency.
These facts . are not only recognised universally, but
a general. conviction impresses upon the national
heart the .vertainty that so soon as the Divan is re-
placed by a Russian Pro-Consulate, that so soon as
the SULTAN is superseded by the EMPEROR, that so
soon as Constantinople is declared to be sub-
ordinate to St. Petersburgh—the Bosphorus
will be impervious; to our ships of war,
a profitable market will be closed against
our manufactures, and our merchandise will
be obstructed in its passage to Persia through the
channel of the Dardanelles. Everything unites to
show that the integrity of the Ottoman empire is
essential to the prosperity of England, to the pro-
gress of civilization, to the maintenance of freedom,
and to the peace of Europe ; and everything unites
to demonstrate in like manner, that the integrity of
that great empire is threatened —is not only
threatened, is actually assailed—by the formidable
despotism of the AUTOCRAT. The aggression of
Russia is proclaimed alike by the activity of the
Sublime Porte in the armament of the fleet and in
the advance of the military forces towards Wallachia ;
it is asserted by the harsh decrees of the CZAR, and
by the cries of torment which are rising day by day
louder and louder from the population of Bucharest,
calling to Heaven for vengeance, and to England for
vindication.

Nothing can be more glaring than the recent
aggressions of Russia, and nothing, we lament to say
it, can be more undecided than the attitude which
under the circumstances ,has been assumed by
England.

" When that great master of eloquence, EDMUND
Bunan," said the new Lord Rector of Glasgow,
" stood in the place where I now stand, he fal-
tered, and remained mute ;" doubtless the multitude of
feelings and thoughts which at that moment rushed
upon his mind were such as even he found it difficult
to arrange and to express. With Mr. MACAULAY,
however, the same situation produced a very different
effect. The past history and the future prospects of
the University of Glasgow kindled his enthusiasm as
an historian, and evoked his eloquence as an orator.
The inaugural address of the new Lord Rector of
Glasgow is worthy of the eloquent historian of
England. We will venture to say that no member
of the University, from the Reverend Principal
down to the newly-elected student, listened to
that address without increased sentiments of
veneration for the society to which he belonged,
and increased anxiety to render himself individually
more worthy of being its member. It so happened
that the occasion of Mr. MACAULAY'S address was
the four hundredth anniversary of the existence of
the University. This circumstance presented an op-
portunity for reviewing the past annals of the society,
of which opportunity the historian availed himself con
amore. The theme was, indeed, admirably suited to the
orator. It transported his imagination to times on
the memory of which he loves to dwell, and the great
events of which no one is better fitted to chronicle.
" I doubt," said Mr. MACAULAY, " whether it would
be possible to name a point of time since the Chris-
tian era more remarkable and more important to the
highest interests of mankind than that at which this
society began to exist. It was an era of a
great destruction, but also an era of a
great creation. Your society began to exif t
just at the moment when the empire of the East was
falling—that strange empire, which dragging on a
lingering existence through the long age of darkness,
connected together two great ages of light—that
empire, which adding itself nothing to our stores of
knowledge, yet preserved in the midst of
barbarism those monuments of Athenian genius
which the highest minds still contemplate
with admiring despair." But at that very moment,
in a distant part of the world, " a few humble Ger-
man artizans, who little knew they were creating a
power, compared with which that of the victorious
SULTAN was insignificant, were busied in cutting and
setting the first printing types. Your society began
to exist just early enough to see the last vestige of
the Roman empire disappear, and just late enough to
see the earliest printed book." We refer our readers
to the speech of Mr. MACAULAY, H hich appears in
another column, in which the past history, not only
of the University of Glasgow, but of Britain and of
Europe, during the last three centuries, is admirably
epitomised in that
" Pomp of period, glittering as it goes,
High from the mount, but labouring through the
mines,"
for which the " resplendent DRYDAS" is so remark-
able.

After enumerating the different phases of society
and civilization which have marked the three
centenary anniversaries which the University
has already witnessed, Mr. MACAULAY hopefully
propheciod yet greater things for the next hundred
years. He is not one of the mourners over the
degeneracy of the times. " Since first I began
to observe the state of my country," he said,
" I have been seeing nothing but growth and
hearing of nothing but decay." Hence be ventured
to predict that his successor, in 1949, would find oc-
casion to congratulate his hearers on the
events of the coming century ; and added
Mr. MACAULAY, "He will, I hope, feel
himself bound in justice to mention with high
honour the names of ,some of my young friends who
are now listening to me I" No wonder that loud and
enthusiastic cheers responded to this aspiration.
Here, indeed, is a stimulus to exertion on the part of
the students of the University. "Ruch' io son pittore"
was the exultant exclamation of the Italian
painter, on contemplating a master-piece of
art—" and I also," may exclaim some ambi-
tious student of Glasgow—some incipient WATT,
or ADAM SMITH, or ROBERTSON—" I also may have
my name chronicled at some future installation by
some future MACAULAY." Thus as a retrospect of past
glory, and an incitement to future genius, the ad-
dress of the Lord Rector of Glasgow was worthy of
the occasion and of himself.

In the observations which we yesterday offered on
3 The Budget for the Million," we only referred to
be three principal propositions advanced by the
.alented writer, viz.:—

" Ist. That it is discreditably dishonest to the
owners of realised property not to pay off the National
Debt.

" 2d. That it would be very easy fur :,them to pay
off; and
" 3d. That it would be profitable for them to pay
off."

We showed that he considered it both just and
politic that the annual expenses of the Government
should be provided for by indirect taxation, while the
national debt should be liquidated by the owners of
accumulated and realised property.
As to the amount of the annual expenditure, Mr.
WasoN adopts the views laid down by the Hon.
Member for Glasgow, rather than those of the Hon.
Member for the West Riding. He declares that he
is not " one of those who would diminish to a very
great extent our naval or military force." He would,
of course, reform the abuses that have gradually
arisen in the administration of the establishments. He
would economise where it could be done with-
out weakening the efficiency of our forces. He

peace." He, therefore, allows the same sum for the
Naval, Military, and Ordnance establishments, which
the Honourable Member for Glasgow calculated to be
sufficient, viz., 14,250,0001., and for civil expenses
(exclusive of the cost of collection), 6,430,000/.
The collection of revenue he estimates at 1,000,000/.
sterling, exclusive of the Post-office, which he be-
lieves, would be amply sufficient for the purpose,
inasmuch as all the items under the head of taxes
would be completely abolished, and the whole of the
Excise, with the exception of the duty on spirits.
The Customs, too, would be limited to some half-
dozen articles. So that, on the whole, he considers
that in allowing 1,000,0001. he has made a propor-
tionately higher estimate than Mr. MACGREGOR.
The several charges to be provided for would then be :
Navy, Army, and Ordnance ... £14,250,000
Civil Expences 6,430,000
Collection of Revenue ... •• • • ••• 1,000,000

Total ... .. ... .. £21,680,000
o Rhicia must be added the =male!, for Brea and

terms of years, amounting, according to the Parlia-
mentary report, to 4,114,0211., so that 25,794,021/.
should be levied by indirect taxation on the nation.
lie calculates that there would be obtained
28,063,2061. sterling from duties on spirits, British
and foreign ; tobacco, at one quarter the present
rates ;" tea, at ls. per pound; sugar, half the present
duty; wines, at lowest duty compatible with
highest revenue; legacy duty extended to real
estate, unredeemed land-tax, stamps (abolishing the
stamps on marine and fire insurance, on stage car-
riages, and what may be termed the taxes on know-
ledge) and from the Post-office and Crown lands. There
would, therefore, be a considerable surplus, after
providing for the several charges. The above esti-
mates are framed on the most moderate basis, for if
the great reductions of taxation were taken into
account, and the increased means that would
consequently be at the disposal of the humbler classes,
it is certain that a much larger consumption
might safely be calculated on ; and that above
30,000,0001. sterling would be obtained from the
foregoing sources of revenue.

It is unnecessary to follow Mr. WAsort through
the various details in which he shows that the entire
debt could be liquidated within ten years, and explains
the various modes in which the different descriptions
of property may be made to contribute their quota
towards the liquidation of the general charge. He
even makes a second calculation, taking the very
lowest estimates that have been framed as to the
value of accumulated property, and he shows that
even then the deficiency at the end of ten years
would be only 67,000,0001., which might be extin-
guished by a whip of one per cent. on the realised
property. One•third of the duties to which we have
already alluded might then be swept off. What, then,
would be the condition of all classes in the
country to what it is at present? How
comparatively trifling would be the public burdens
What a stimulant would be applied to the industry of
the nation—poor-rates would only be required for
the support of the aged and infirm, and of infants
yet unable to provide" for themselves—all those able
and willing to work would be certain of obtaining
remunerative employment, and would be enabled to
enjoy every reasonable comfort for the wages of their
labour. This, indeed, would be a very different state
of things from that at present existing, when we
have an oppressed poor and an embarrassed nation.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur announces that 14. D'AMARAL had
presented his credentials as Charge d'Affaires from
the Emperor of BRAZIL to the French Republic.
The discussion on the various articles of the law
relating to clubs was continued in the sitting of the
National Assembly yesterday, and wns adjourned
until Monday, in order to give time to the Committee,
to which was referred the consideration of an addi-
tional clause proposed by M. VICTOR LANrRANC, to
report. The clause proposed by 111. LANrEANC is,
" that meetings of political associations, having a
determined object, shall not be considered as
clubs." During the course of the discussion the
difficulties of passing any law which should prohibit
clubs, and at the same time preserve intact the right
of association became manifest. Among other so-
cieties mentioned was the " Free-trade Association,"
of which M. LEON FAUCHER is himself a member.
That gentleman declared that, as the proposed law
did not meddle with the right of association, the Free-
trade Association did not come under its provisions ;
but when asked to define what he meant by right of
association, he remained silent. M. EMANUEL ARAGO
put the following case to the Minister of the Interior :
—Private social clubs (cercles) exist, and if they be
opened to the public, it will be said that they are
ordinary clubs, and they mill be subject to the pro-
posed law ; or they will close their doors against the
public, and then they will become secret societies, and
be liable to be interdicted, in virtue of the law of
1848, as then it could not be left to the tribunals to
decide whether such places of meeting were or
were not clubs, he demanded of the Minister
what' he meant by association ? Still, the
Minister remained silent, and this piece of
bungling legislation will, if carried, either remain
inoperative, because of the impossibility of working
it, or it will render liable to punishment every mem-
ber of every association, religious, literary, or chari-
table, as well as political, in France. The following
protest against this law has been drawn up by M.
DE LAMENNAIS, and signed by 150 Members of
the National Assembly :

" PROTESTATION.

" The Ist article of the law upon public meeting is a
violation of the Constitution. We have protested by our
vote. We have protested by our abstinence; and we will
persist in abstaining because we desire not to participate
in any way on the passing of this law, which is a flagrant
attempt on natural rights, and rights written in the Con •
stitution."

The Moniteur du Soir publishes an official contra-
diction of the statement that General PELET has left
Paris for Piedmont on 1t special mission.
It is said that the Ministry intend to introduce a
new law relative to the press.

It is reported by the Constitutionnel that the Clubs
intend to make a demonstrati▪
on on the 26th. This

The general meeting of the shareholders of the
Vierzon Railway Company took place on Tuesday in
Hertz's great room. The report stated that the
capital will not only be suffici▪
ent to meet the extra-
ordinary expenses incurred, amounting to two mil.
lions of francs, but also defray the expenses of the
branch line to Nevers, which has been added to the
original concession. The length of the branch line
to Nevers is about seven English miles. The meeting
ratified unanimously the convention entered into, on
December 21st, between the Minister of Public
Works and the board, to comprise the branch line to
Nevers in the original lease. M. MouaLnori has
been confirmed in the post of director, in the place
of M. BANES, resigned.

FRANKFORT.

The discussion on WELKER'S motion for conferring
the hereditary chiefdom of Germany on the King of
PRUSSIA, terminated on the 20th March. The divi-
sion would not take place until the following day.
The result was doubtful. Three Austrian Deputies
have retired from the German Parliament.

DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG
HOLSTEIN.

COPENHAGEN, MARCH 17 .—Fadreland states that
reports are circulated of the speedy conclusion of a
peace. Baron VON PLISSEN, who arrived here on
Thursday from Berlin, is said to have brought with
him the preliminaries of a peace proposed by the
King of DENMARK, and already signed by the King
Of PRUSSIA.

Fadreland, however, questions the validity of the
report, on the ground that the Government would,
in such a case, have communicated it to the Diet,
and have countermanded the departure of the troops
who left here in the course of yesterday and to-day ;
besides, a peace founded on the basis of the status
quo ante, appears altogether improbable.
The steamer Hurther went to the north to-day.
The war steamer Dolphin arrived here yesterday
afternoon from the south, and six gun-boats and four
boats for landing ; and today the frigates Gibion and
Flavfrecen got ready for sea.
COPENHAGEN, MARCH 18.—It is said that postal
arrangements have been made for the transmission
of the mails via Wesinar. The Cabinet Council
have resolved to leave unblockaded one of the har
hours of the East Sea, on account of the transmission
of the mails.

SCHLESiVIG, MARCH 19.—As soon as the cessation
of the armistice can no longer be questioned, two
cutters and two steamers will cruise in the canal, to
give way to all vessels destined for the North and
East Sea.

ALTONA, MARCH 20.—The Aldenburg troops ar.
rived here to day from Hamburgh.

HOLLAND.

ROTTERDAM, MARCH, 20.—A watch has been
placed on the great tower, to observe the moment

telligence of his father's death.—Journal d'Anvers.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpoel
yesterday, and full prices paid. The sales were esti-
mated at 600 bales, and comprised about 5,000 Ameri-
can at 4d. to 6c1., 400 Egyptian at 54d. to 611., and
300 Surats at 3-id. to 3d i. per lb.—The market ter rail-
way shares opened firmly, but closed lower. with a large
amount of stock offering for sale.
The Money Market experiences no perceptible alte-
ration, and there is no complaint of tightness of dis-
counts. The employment for cash is, on the contrary,
rathcr mere limited.

The Grain Market is very fiat this morning, the arri-
vals of foreign continuing lart.re.
The arrivals this morning offer no colonial or foreign
news of particular interest.
The Produce Markets have not been very active this
week, but there is a larger number of sales in progress
to-day. Holders generally are firm, and if the state of
business is for the most part duller on account of
Continental affairs, they still seem to hope for something
favourable ere long. The merchants connected with the
German trade are confidently aecerting that the Danish
epic stion is settled; but we find nothing more authentic
on the subject than what has already appeared in print.
The English Stock Market opened with an improving
appearance, in consequence of Lord Palmerston's ex-
planations concerning the Moldavian affair, but the
Beurs have again operated, and a partial reaction has
occurred. Consols were 911 if for Transfer, and 914
for Account, but have been since done at 91 for money,
and 91i tor time. The last Oargains reported to us have
been at 91i 4, and 911 A. Exchequer-bills have bee❑
38s. to 41s. premium, and India Bonds 51s. The price
of Bank Stock for Account has improved to 198.
In the foreign house the transactions have been more
restricted. Mexican Bonds have been 33 to for Account,
and since 314 to 31i. Peruvian have been 61 to 62.
Grenada Deferred are 3-1-, ; Equador, 34 ; and Buenos
Ayres for account, 39. Brazil Stock has been at 83.
Danish Scrip is up to 61. premium. Spanish Five per
Cents, are 161 to 17, and the Three per Cents. 30 to
In Railway Shares the transactions have been limited,
and the quotations generally exhibit very little alte-
ration.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

An extremely small supply of English Wheat has
been received up to our market ceastwiAe during the
present week, it having amounted to only 960 quarters,
mostly from Essex and Kent. By land carriage, the
receipts fresh up to-day were trifling, and of very
middling quali'y. The attendance of buyers were small,
and the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce
was heavy, at almost nominal currencies. Not less than
31,449 quarters of Foreign Wheat have came in this
week. This large arrival had a depressing influence
upon the demand, yet the few sales effected were at
about Monday's prices. O.ving to the large supply of
Foreign Barley on offer, the sale for that article
was extremely heavy, and the inferior parcels might
have been purchased on lower terms. In Malt—the
supply of which ready for delivery was small—next to
nothing was doing, at late rates. The Oat trade was
again heavy. In prices, no change took place. Beans,
Peas, Indian Corn and Meal were quite neglected. The
top price of the beet teiTh-made k lour iyits 42s per 2801bo.
