STOPPAGE OF TUE PEERS ON THEIR PASSAGE TO
THE HOUSE OF Loaus.—Tuesday notices, signed by Mr.
Birch, clerk in Parliament, were posted at the Horse Guards,
the Admiralty, and the Houses of Parliament, stating that, in
consequence of severs bf the Lords complaining of stoppages
and obstructions in the streets leading to the Houses of Pal..
Bement, caused by hackney carriages,
carts, and drays, and
by which they have been delayed taking their seats therein,
the Commissioners of Police are enjoined to remove Idi such
Ontructiena ailfuture.

If the estimate be essentially erroneous, it will be easy for
some better informed correspondent of the Times to point
out the errors; if substantially correct, the sooner the full
extent of the evil is made public the better. Forewarned is
forearmed.

CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST
AN EXTENSIVE CORN DEALER.
BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 26.—A corn-dealer of extensive busi-
ness and most respectable connexions in this town, named
Thomas Gomm, is now in custody at the public-office,
charged with obtaining moneys upon false pretences to the
amount of between 3,000/. and 4,0001. The prisoner followed
the occupation of a commission agent, his business being to
purchase wheat, barley, and other grain from farmers and
' dealers at the Stratford, Worcester, and other markets, on
account of extensive millers and consumers by whom he,was
employed. From the information which has at present
transpired, it appears that Mr. Gomm has purchased grain
on several occasions in the names of well-known established
firms of the highest credit, subsequently sold the lots so
purchased to other parties, and ultimately appropriated the
I money received upon these sales to his own purposes.
The prisoner was to have been brought before the magis-
trates at the public office this morning (when Mr. Rollason,
solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Thomas
Harding for the defence), but without the prisoner being
placed in the dock.
portance was, he believed, to have occupied the
elttor for the
the magistrates, but he understood that t

should be adjourned until Friday.
Mr. Rollason intimated his assent, and the prisoner was
remanded accordingly.
Proceedings have been adopted with the view of making
Mr. Gomm a bankrupt, but great difficulty is found in the
attempt to establish au act of bankruptcy. lathe meantime
to
parties, in a condition, are selling off the prisoner's available

ANIENTABLE MORTALITY IN A LIVERPOOL SHIP:*
The barque Old England, 600 tons register, Captain Joseph
White, from Shanghae to Liverpool, with a cargo of tea,
insured for 100,0001., put into Cork a few days ago, seven
months since she sailed from Shanghae. When at sea three
months an inveterate scurvy broke out amongst the crew
and disabled them. Captain White made sail for St. Helens,
bnt before arriving there four of the crew had died, and
Were buried at sea, and on the day of arrival the boatswain
expired. Captain White, having landed ten men in a
dying state, took on board some Portuguese, and again put
to sea. The working of the vessel from St. Helena to Cork
devolved upon the captain, first mate, and second mate. Sea-
men were shipped in Cork to work the vessel to Liverpool.—.

The celebrated Pas de Quatre and Pas de Diesses will be revived,
and an entirely new Divertissement, introducing another Grand Pas

ter for so many and so many sufferers, and to remain
inflexible to whatever contingent misery may be pro-
duced by an unforeseen emergency like that of the
potato murrain ? As if poverty could be curbed with
bricks and mortar; as if inanition were preventable
by the restrictions of parochial parsimony; as if
poor-law guardians could stand before the bil-
lows of famine, like CANUTE, and obstruct
their advance by an idle mandate ! Some-
thing must be done to compel the various boards
of guardians throughout Ireland to apportion this
distribution of assistance to the extent of the local
destitution. These wholesale and retail rejections of
the starving peasantry from the thresholds of work-
houses must, in some manner or other, be prevented.
' Either supernumerary lodgements must be provided
for the latest applicants, when the workhouses them-
selves are thronged, or the granting of outdoor relief
must be rendered more frequent than heretofore.
Otherwise the mortality of Ireland will still continue
on its present frightful ratio of increase, and the
'duties of coroners will become more onerous than
ever. That some arrangement of the kind just men-
tioned is necessitated by the present calamity—a
calamity, says the Prime Minister, " such as has not
been known in modern times "—is plainly shown by
the statements and propositions of Lord JouN
RUSSELL. Impressed with a conviction of the perils
resulting from the shortsighted distribution of the
public moneys, hitherto sanctioned by the poor-law
guardians, the Noble Lord has urged upon the
Legislature the advisability of empowering those
officials to relieve all the able-bodied applicants out of
the workhouse whenever, by the influx of paupers, their
admission within the workhouse has been rendered
impossible.

What we have here observed is of course applied
simply to the extremest cases of destitution, to
cases, for example, where the peasantry are denied all
help from public or agricultural works by the
peculiar position of their locality, or where physical
infirmities, whether produced by the dearth or other-
wise, preelude them from redeeming their fortunes
by manual labour. Excepting in these instances, the
multitude of sufferers in Ireland will be relievable by
employment upon the completion of the unremune-
rative works already undertaken by Government, or
upon those agricultural enterprizes and organised
reclamations of waste land, which it is the intention
of the Government to promote. Under all circum-
stances the workhouse is a dernier ressort, but, in
Goes name, let there be that dernier ressort, Don't
deny to the poor man the sorry consolation of having
the workhouse, or a substitute for the workhouse, to
fly to in the hour of his direst affliction. Don't de-
prive him of the last straw which he has to grasp at
in his ocean of misery. Don't debar him from that
scanty succour which is provided by every civilized
state for the outcast and the pauper. Let the policy
of such a denial be duly weighed, and let its respon-
sibilities be never forgotten.

The good work goes bravely on. The English
people have nobly responded to the cry of distress
uttered by their suffering brethren of Ireland and of
the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. They have
acted in a manner worthy of the British name, have
spared no exertions to relieve the wants of the desti-
tute and helpless in the famine-stricken districts.
Many associations have been formed for the same god-
like purpose. The end and object in every case is
the same—to provide food for the hungry and clothing
for those who have no means of protecting themselves
from the inclemency of the weather. Within three
short weeks about 100,0001. sterling has been col-
lected by voluntary subscriptions in this city alone,
and that exclusive of the large sums that have been
transmitted directly to the Central Relief Committee
in Dublin, or to the Highland Fund in Edinburgh, or
to local committees in Ireland or Scotland. The
British Association has already collected upwards of
60,000 L, of which our Gracious QUEEN and the
members of the Royal Family have contributed no
less than 5,500 L, while the Corporation of the City of
London generously voted a sum of 2,0001. from their
funds, a cheque for which was immediately signed
and transmitted by the Lord Mayor, with the ex-
pression of a fervent hope that every corporation
throughout the kingdom would follow the example
thus afforded. The Society of Friends have collected
amongst themselves no less than 20,0001., and in
telligent and benevolent members of their body have
travelled through the most impoverished districts, in
order that they might judge more correctly of the
most advantageous manner of distributing their
bounty, and the relative wants and exigencies of the
several localities. Alas ! that one of their number,
who was ever foremost in acts of philanthropy and
charity, should have been cut off in the prime of life,
in the vigour of manly strength and intellect, from
the result of an accident that occurred to him while
engaged in the work of mercy, in carrying con-
solation to the abodes of the afflicted. Upwards of
9,0001. has been collected through the Famine Relief
Fund, and the Ladies' Relief Fund, under the
patronage of her Majesty the QUEEN- DOWAGER and
the Duchess of KENT, has obtained most beneficial
aid, chiefly from the fairer portion of the community.
But, magnificent as have been the fruits of these
several exertions, handsomely as the contributors
have come forward and afforded their spontaneous as-
sistance in the cause of humanity, we look for some-
thing more—we desire that the fund may be a national
one, that its collection may be general throughout the
entire country; that every one possessed of means
should be stimulated to give to the best of his ability.
It is not merely the amount of the gift, but the spirit
in which it is tendered, that should be regarded.
Many well-disposed and generous persons are deterred
from giving the pittance they can spare from their
own necessities, where it may appear contrasted with
the larger gifts of others. An opportunity of making
their offering a part of a general parochial collection,
will be ardently desired by such persons, where they
will have the satisfaction of thinking that they have
taken a part in the good work, Without coming
prominently forward. Few would withhold their
shillings or half-crowns if a collector came to their
doors, who would scarcely think it worth while to
transmit such small sums to a distance, and yet in the
aggregate these shillings and half-crowns from the
million would amount to a larger sum than the
hundreds or five hundreds of the wealthy and affluent
few, these means will now be generally afforded
The QUEEN'S letter has been issued, of which pub-
lication will be made in every parish church through-
out the kingdom on some Sunday in this or the
ensuing month, and the officiating minister in each
will be required by his diocesan effectually to excite
the parishioners to a liberal contribution, to be col-
lected the week following at their respective dwellings
by the churchwardens and overseers. Such a missive
has ever been eminently successful in procuring large
sums in aid of any object for which it has been issued,
and never has there been one that possessed greater
claims on the sympathies of every class. We cannot
doubt that it will be responded to in the manner it
deserves, and that those who have been clothed and
fed by English liberality in the season of their bitter
affliction and sore extremity, may, on the return of
more prosperous and happier times, feel deeply
grateful to their generous benefactors.
It is scarcely necessary to add a single word in

favour of a subscription which comes thus strongly
recommended, and the imperative necessity for which
is so frightfully apparent in one district alone, that of

picture of the existing distress. He says—
" Writers of fiction have drawn the terrors, the deso-
lation, the sufferings attendant on the plague of former
times, but those pictures of the imagination, highly
coloured as they may be, do not equal those pictures of
real suffering and misery which the chronicles of the
time daily present before us. Robust men, worn and
gaunt with famine ; weak women and helpless children
sinking down from want of food; famished human beings !
uttering the cry of hunger until that cry is stopped by
death—even the decent forms of burial obliged to be
dispensed with, and the unshrouded victims consigned
uneoffined to the gravel"

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY
_MORNING-, JANUARY 28, 1847.

There is no race of people upon whom the lessons

of experience tell with greater effect than the Eng-
lish. Their wisdom is essentially practical. In the
earlier time of our history, when the lights of know-
ledge were not only exceedingly faint, but were
almost exclusively absorbed by the monastic classes,
freedom of action was necessarily limited, inas-
much as the national mind was enslaved by ignorance
and its degrailing concomitants. This is the
real clue to the narrow basis upon which the
different institutions of the country were severally
erected. Again, the love of power and of ease, in-
herent in man, rendered those, in whose hands were
lodged the keys of civilisation, averse to the diffusion
amongst their benighted compatriots of those
elementary political truths, on the general and prac-
tical recognition of which hinges the progress of
society ; and thus it happened that their own selfish
remissness always constituted a specious plea to the
ruling powers for not widening the foundations of
our political structure. However theoretically correct
might have been any scheme propounded for enlarg-
ing the rights and privileges of the people, the ready
answer of the monopolising dignitaries of learning,
who were of necessity the chief functionaries of the

ever,

he added that other than Government

measures are required :—" I feel, with respect
to these and other measures that there
are things which the Crown cannot grant, which
Parliament cannot grant, such as a spirit of self-
reliance and a spirit of co-operation. I must say
plainly that I should indeed despair of this task, were
it not that I think I see symptoms amongst the people
of Ireland, both of a greater reliance upon their own
energies and their own exertions, and a greater will-
ingness to co-operate with us." We would earnestly
adjure all those who, alarmed at the proposal for the
relief committees, imagine that the Irish are to be-
come a nation of paupers, and that the English are to
toil for the maintenance of the idle—we would earnestly
adjure all such dispassionately to peruse the foregoing
observations of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The whole
speech of the Noble Lord, indeed, breathes the same
inspiriting sentiments. We are not asked to work
for the Irish, we are asked to enable them to work.
Let us not regard that suffering people as some idle
beggar who must be fed by our bounty, but rather
as some unfortunate individual incapacitated by want
and sickness. We will give him food to recruit his
strength—we:will give him medicines to restore his
health—we will set him in employment—we will
make him independent—and then we have done with
him. By the sweat of his own brow he will support
himself—aye, and perhaps pay us back some day, with
interest.

kingdom, was, that the people were not sufficiently
prepared and enlightened to receive the boon, and
that, therefore, its concession would rather impair
than minister to the stability of the State. When,
however, despite of this perverse obstruction to
the general development of the mental faculties
of our remote ancestors, the rays of civilisation,
from a variety of causes—the crusades at one time,
the invention of printing at another, and so forth—
became stronger, and began to penetrate the national
mind, our institutions were squared in accordance with
the fruits of knowledge and experience. Our
monarchs of old were, for the most part, the first to
perceive that they best consolidated their own power,
and most effectually checked a turbulent nobility,
when they conferred important franchises upon the
humbler classes of their subjects. By this judicious
policy an overbearing aristocracy was made to feel
the recoil of inordinate ambition and selfish tyranny.
Under these circumstances, popular affection, the only
legitimate source of all permanent rule, but which was
haughtily contemned by the nobility, centred in the
Crown. These natural reverses of power at length
taught the great feudal lords of England that their
influence could only be usefully and honourably
maintained by showing themselves to be provident of
the interests and comforts of the industrious
classes of the community ; and that when
men have matured their minds duly to ap-
preciate, and fitly to enjoy, augmented social privi-
leges, and political rights, it is neither becoming nor
safe to impede their acquisition. Whenever, in later
times, the aristocracy have turned a deaf ear to this
cumulative lesson of experience, the people have
invariably convinced them of the futility of their
restrictive endeavours. They did this in 1829, in
1831, and again in 1846. By the moral force of
public opinion alone were the Relief Bill, the Reform
Bill, and the Cornßill wrung from a morose and reluc •
tant aristocracy. Bearing these reflections in mind, we
rejoice to observe that Alderman Humpimay on:1 ues-
day induced the Court of Aldermen to pass a resolu-
tion, that a Bill be prepared by the Remembrancer,
to be presented to Parliament, to extend the elective
franchise for the election of Aldermen and Common
Councilmen. It is satisfactory to find public bodies
voluntarily taking the initiative for their self-reforma-
tion. They thus secure the confidence of the public
and evince a wisdom competent to the efficient dis-
charge of the important functions with which
they have been invested from an ancient period.
Moreover, by acting in this spirit, they prevent the
occurrence of sudden and violent changes, which, in
long-established institutions, are ever to be depre-
cated, except in cases of extreme necessity. It is
quite preposterous that the custom which the leading
merchants of the city of London have long estab-
lished of residing in the suburbs, should have the
effect of debarring them of the franchise which
would give them a voice in the management
of the business, and in the election of the
authorities of the corporation. A nouvelles ajjaires,
i nouveaux conseils.

On a dispassionate survey of all the Government
measures they will be found to have this one object
in view, the affording of temporary assistance until
permanent improvements are in progress. Many
of the propositions can only be justified by the
pressing exigencies which demand them ; we must
not confound them with the more salutary and
durable reforms. The temporary and permanent im-
provements may almost be regarded as the edifice
and the scaffolding. What should we think of their
common sense who should cry out against
the latter, because it was not of elegant appear-
ance and of durable materials, because, in sooth,
it wits not adapted for the purposes of habita-
tion, forgetting all the while that the habitation
was behind it Q In a little while the edifice itself
would be raised, just in proportion, elegant in design,
lasting in material, the theme of general admiration;
while the unsightly scaffolding—having served the
purposes of its erection, having sustained the separate
fragments till they formed the perfect whole—now,
"its occupation gone," would be removed and seen no
more. So will it be with Ireland. Pass but a few
years, and our loans, and donations, and relief com-
mittees will disappear—they will only be ap-
parent in the benefits they have tended to
procure. We are inclined to believe with Mr.
FRENCH, that " the fearful calamity with which it
has pleased PROVIDENCE to afflict Ireland will do
for that country, what neither king nor statesman
could effect, by leading to the adoption of measures
which will give her a fair field, and go far to promote
her regeneration." For years Ireland has been the
scene of distress, and the source of difficulty—let us
trust, nay, let us believe, she will be so no longer.
PANDORA'S box of evils has been poured out on that
unhappy land, but now we have reached the bottom,
now at last we have obtained Hope.

In addressing the House on Monday evening, Lord
Joux Missals. observed that it was needless for him
to solicit their indulgence, he felt assured it would be
voluntarily bestowed on him. The result fully justi-
fied his anticipations ; his discourse was listened to
with indulgence, nay more, with approbation. That
discourse is now before the country, where it will
assuredly meet with as cordial a reception. On
Monday eveting party differences were forgotton ;
the Parliamant met to deliberate on the necessities of
the people. In the contemplation of their terrible
sufferings, all minor considerations vanished, all fac-
tious quarrels were laid at rest—the Opposition could
no longer oppose. And; in like manner, we doul t
not, will all prejudices of creed and country be
r e s toe n t
the
hour the recollection of English people. In
former animosities annihilated—nay, the very distinctions will not be
thought of when the gloomy reality of Irish suffering
becomesthe eacalamities
iftui
el fully
of ty manifesthe present
will be effaced, the memory of
former grievances will be appeased.
Is Disputes shall cease, and ancient feuds shall fail,
Returning Justice lift aloft her scale."
The very distinctions of English and Irish, of Pro-
testants and Catholics, will be obliterated in the com-
mon brotherhood of fellow- subjects and fellow-men. It
is at a time like the present that such sympathetic senti-
ments are more especially required ; and it is precisely
at a time like the present that, happily, they are most
likely to prevail. It has been said that a common
suffering will make friends even of foes ; how much
more, then, should community of sorrows strengthen
the bonds of those who should be as brothers ! That
such will be the case we cannot doubt ; and we
cannot doubt that the speech of the Prime Alinister
will meet with a hearty response throughout all Eng-
land. It can hardly fail to do so, indeed, for it has in
a twofold degree claims Oft our approbation. In the
first place, it excites sympathy for suffering, and
o p ints out and demands the means of alleviating it ;
-
and, secondly, it elicits our approval for the ex-
ceeding justice and advisability of the great prin-
ciple which it enforces—namely, not that we
should regenerate the Irish, not that we should do
everything to help them, but that we should endea-
vour to enable them to effect their own regeneration
—that we should help them to help themselves. This
is the great object to which all these new improve-
ments tend ; this is the great object to which both
the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord Jour; RUSSELL
so eloquently and so strenuously alluded ; this is the
great object which every lover of Ireland, which
every well-wisher of the Unit
• ed Kingdom, must
most ardently desire to see effected ; for by its
achievement, and by its achievement only, can the
well-being of millions be assured.
" In native strength, in native ranks,
The only hope of freemen dwells.'
We might as well attempt to make a dead body
speak or move as expect to benefit a people by ex-
ternal influences. The Marquis of
LINSDOWNB's
illustration was singularly appropriate. Speaking of
the temporary assistance which England might ren-
der to Ireland, he observed—" The arm might be
extended to support the tree which was bending its
head to a temporary blast, but it was only to the
vigour in the roots of the tree and to the vitality
which it had in itself, that they must look for its
permanent restoration." Let us trust this metaphor
may be happily realised. England will be ready to
do her possible—notwithstanding the privations to
which the people of this country must be subjected,
they will be ready to afford help in the hour of need.
They will cheerfully contribute their aid to support
the branches of the tree during the passing of the
storm ; let us trust that in the meantime its roots
be imbibing a new life. That such a trust will not
be vain we have every reason to believe. The
speeches both of the Noble Marquis and the I

sanguine hopes ; indeed, much as we admire
the various details of the Government plans,

The St. Petersburgh Journal of the 15th publishes an
account of the repulse of an attack upon the Russian
fortress of the Golowin, in the Caucasus. The enemy
is stated to have retired after sustaining a loss of 50
men. The Russians state their loss at four killed and
12 wounded. The EMPEROR, as a proof of his satisfac-
tion at the brilliant defence of the garrison, has pro-
moted some of the officers, and granted decorations to
some of the privates.

The St. Petersburgh journals publish a royal re-
script, conferring on M. LEVERRIEI2, the astronomer, the
order of St. Stanislaus of the second class.

Committees have been formed in Russia for inquiring
into the condition of the peasants on the seigniorial ter-
ritories, in order that a statute may be prepared for
their amelioration. In 29 governments there are 21,148
landowners who have not more than 25 peasants, while
others have only a single portion of land without pea-
sants. The Government has decided upon transplant-
ing these reduced nobles to the lands belonging to the
Crown in the governments of Simbirsk and Tobolsk.
One of the sons of each family will be brought up in the

" We learn that the French Ambassador, M. de Bois-le-
Comte, who had resided at Zurich since his arrival, but who
left a few days ago to take his seat in the Chamber of Peers,
will, on his return, fix his residence at Berne. On the other
hand, the Ambassadors of Prussia and Bavaria will follow
the example of those of Russia and Austria and leave Berne
for Zurich. The French Ambassador was not a party to the
note addressed by the Ambassadors of Russia, Austria, and
Prussia, to the Vorort of Berne; but it is supposed that the

Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived. The reports
of an approaching change in the Ministry still con-
tinued rife in Madrid, and it was even said that the
Ministry would be dissolved before the debate on the
Address could come on in the Chamber of Deputies. The
KING, it was said, had shown to Senor ORTEGA, a Deputy
in his confidence, a letter written by the QUEEN, in
which her MAJESTY expresses her wish for the forma-
tion of a more constitutional Cabinet.

The debate in the Senate still continued, and on the
18th there was a " scene" between General SERRANO
and Senor ISTURITZ, in which the personal recrimi-
nations which were exchanged were of so violent a cha-
racter that it was supposed a hostile encounter would
have been the consequence. On the 19th several Sena.
tors attacked the Ministry for their connivance at the
fittng out of the Flores' expedition, when Senor
IsTuarrz in the most emphatic manner denied, in the
name of himself and his colleagues, all participation in
or connexion with that enterprize. A telegraphic dis
patch announces the election of Senor CASTRo Y ORozco
as President of the Chamber of Deputies. The Clamor
Public° of the 18th states that very alarming accounts
had been received from Navarre, where the Carlists had
been successful in exciting a strong feeling against the
law of recruitment and rousing the people in favour of
the Count DE MONTEMOLIN by pretending that he would
respect their fueros. Scenes similar to that which had
been witnessed at Pampeluna had taken place at Tafalla,
Sanguesa, and Estella.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The Presse has the following announcement :
" We must do Lord Palmerston the justice of acknowledg-
ing that he has perseverance in his designs, his cupidities,
and his hatreds. He has not abandoned his projects of 1840
upon Egypt; he has only modified them. He has no longer
the idea of taking forcible possession of Egypt, but of buy-
ing it! Offers have been secretly made at Alexandria and
Constantinople for the inheritance by England, on the death
of the Viceroy, of all his royal spoils, on terms discussed and
settled. If thesd offers should be accepted, what will be
done by France—isolated France?"
The meaning of this we take to be, that Lord PAL-
MERSTON has discovered and circumvented the intrigues
in which the French Government has for some years
past been engaged, in order to get possession either by
fraud or by force of Egypt. TOe French Government
has " never abandoned its projects upon Egypt—it has
not abandoned them to this hour, although there is more
caution in the conducting them at the present moment
than was necessary, during the hybernation of Lord
ABERDEEN at the Foreign-office.
The Journal du Havre announces the arrival in that
port of 35,000 barrels of flour by eight vessels from the
United States. This, it says, forms part of. 100,000
harrels that have been shipped in the United States for
France.
The Commerce has the following on the subject of the
prices of bread and bread-stuffs :
"We said yesterday that the price of bread in Paris
would probably be raised to fifty centimes the kilogramme
from the Ist of next February. The medium price at the
Halle yesterday has still further raised the price of flour,
which regulates the price of bread, and brought it to
58f. lc. If the price rise sixty-five centimes more, the price of
t
bread will be 51c. Fortunately, this does not appear o be
probable. In the principal markets in the neighbourhood of
Paris there has been, it is true, a new augmentation of price,
but to-day we receive more satisfactory accounts from Havre,
where the arrivals of corn and flour from America are daily
increasing. At Havre prices have fallen very considerably
because arrivals are expected,
which are estimated at
100,000 barrels of flour. On the other hand, the vessels

The Minister of Marine has ordered all money due by

the seaports. It is supposed that the nioney thus thrown
into eirculaion for contracts, arrears of pay, &e., will
serve to alleviate the present pre sure on trade and
manufactures.

The C rn Importation Bill was introduced into the
Chamber of Peers on Monday.

" The calculated expenses in the Budget of 1848, for the
department of war, amount to 331,510,506 francs. The
effective of the army amounts to 342,767 men, and 83,851
horses; 282,767 men, and 68,361 horses, being for home ser-
vice; and 60,000 men, and 15,490 horses for Algeria. In
the budget of the marine, the sum demanded is 140,984,819
francs."

It will be seen that the fall of prices in London occasioned
a similar, though not so extensive, a movement in Paris on
Monday, on which day the Three per Cents. closed on the
