MORNING SITN_•
_

discriminate between cases essentially different in their
moral complexion deprives itself of the support of public
opinion ; and a law which is not supported by public
opinion can never be carried into effect.
HERALD!—Tow loss of moral reputation is, per-
haps, the most disastrous consequence of Lord Palmer-
ston's commercial policy. The total amount and value
of our exports niay have increased during the last ten
years ; that increase is the result of a truth on which
Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd stumbled in preparing his set
speech for the City election ; the political necessities and
social position of the country compel our manufacturers
annually to augment the amount of their productions, '
and that augmentation is forced into all the marketh of
the world, sold there at a loss or without profit, and then
issue complaints from Lancashire and Lanarkshire,
loud F and deep, that our commercial system produces
the, diookess which is the consequence of overstocked
markets, and the supply being greater than the de-
mand. The want of our manufacturers is new markets ;
they can undersell all other nations, the United States
perhaps exempted, in the very coarsest cottons, or domes-
tics, and clitiapueSs eve-ywhere begets them a monopoly.
Now the giCatest obstacle to the creation of new markets
is that loss of 'bond reputation which has been the result
of Lora Palmerston's policy. Laboriously, systemati-
cally, and in despite of the public reprobation of every
man in the kingdom, who from knowledge was compe-
tent to express an opinion. Lord Palmerston has de-
graded the character of England in the estimation of
every nation, be it civilised or barbarous, of every
people, be their colour white or black, tawny or zed,
of every climate, be it temperate, torrid, or freezing.
This is not merely assertion—these are not merely
words ; if they be. we again call on the Globe to dis-
prove or contradict them. The opinion thus ex-
pressed is the impartial result of close observation, of
extensive opportunities of ascertaining facts, of severe
investigation, and of an earnest desire to arrive at truth.
The degradation which Lord Palmerston has brought on
the British character is very much the consequence of
the submission he has made to gross and illegal attacks
on our commercial rights. He is the first British Goreigc
Minister who has systematically submitted to all acts of
hostility exhibited by other States to our commerce ; he
has accustomed the nation to infringements and interrup-
tions of our trade with distant countries ; he has begot
the bad habit of permitting these violations of our com-
merce; he has destroyed the prestige which the power of
international law formerly possessed in the minds of on
merchants for the protection of their ventures.
GLOBE.—The mystery, in which Sir Robert Peel
has thought proper to veil his plans for the future seems
to give the fullest satisfaction to the Tory press, which,
on the principle of accepting " name ignotum pro mag-
nifica" is clealingvit liberal praises on the wise reserve
that " the Great Unfathomable" continues to exercise.
Like the witch in Macbeth, Sir Robert leaves off by ex-
claiming, " I'll do, I'll do, I'll do,"—but leaves us to ex-
ercise our ingenuity as to what is to be the particular
nature of the extensive do which he contemplates. We
cannot believe it possible that the able persons who con-
duct some of the principal Tory Journals can really feel
all the admiration they pretend for a statesman who gives
no account of his views ; because, if silence as to the
future were so great a virtue, one might find that qua-
lity in the fullest perfection among the wax figures at
Madame Tussaud's ingenious exhibition. From these a
whole Cabinet of Statesmen, all ready dressed in the
robes of office, might be selected at a moment's notice,
against any of whom Sir Robert Peel might be matched
for smiling , and simpering muteness, and the con-
test would probably end like that between the Chi-
nese Mandarin and the Dutch Ambassador, from which
the latter silently withdrew after a display for several
hours of mutual dumbness and dignity. It may offend
the Conservative party to compare their leader to a lay
figure ; but when all that his warmest admirers can say
for him is, that he will not do this, he will not do that,
and he will not do the other—so long as his qualifica-
tions for the Ministry are merely negative—so long as we
gre told that " lie will not rupture alliances;" " he will
nO plunge the country into wars," and " will not attempt
to recn;ce the House of Lords," we cannot refrain from
remarking.)• that in every one of these displays of in-
action, any of the great political characters in Madame
Tussaud's costly collection would be even more than a
match for him. The simile of Sir Robert Peel, in which
lie compares the present state of political affairs to a case
for medical interference, leaves one question at issue,
namely, " Which are the quacks—the physicians now
in attendance, or the practitioner whose haste to be
regularly called in is avowed with most indecent
earnestness ?" This is a question that the ultimate
recovery of the patient will in a great measure decide :
but in the meantime it will be admitted that the
quackery is most likely' to be on the side of him whose
plan of operations 'can only be carried on beneath the
veil of mystery. Impostors of every . description re-
quire obscurity for the success of their imposition ; and
la jargon of unmeaning sounds, which Sir Robert
seems disposed to improve into absolute silence, is the
ordinary accompaniment to the tricks of the conjuror.
STANDARD.—The Ministerial Journalists are still
busily employed in endeavouring to foment disturbances
in the manufacturing districts. With the feeling that
seduced them into a premature expression of their
exultation at the prospect of a deficient harvest,
they have begun to be affected with the most
intense sympathy for the manufacturing classes. The
apologists for the New Poor-law are suddenly over-
whelmed with pity for the unhappy condition of the
suffering poor in Manchester, Birmingham, and other of
our manufacturing districts ; who have, they tell us, been
" progressing downwards" during the last three years !
Men who have resolutely shut their eyes to the distresses
of their fellow-creatures, and who have applauded a
system which treats poverty. as a crime, are now
so sensitively alive to the misery around them, that
they net,:sr dreamed of looking for it before ! An
anxious desire to maintain the O'Connell Ministry in
office has ma& philanthropists of them ! An " over-
whelming Conserviitive majority" has invested them
with a miseroscopie ey for human misery. They
are even quick-sighted enough to discover what they
and their patrons have themselves helped to
create ! 'We should hail this marvellous change
.with greater satisfaction if we could believe it
to be sincere ; but the veil of philanthrophy is too
thin to conceal the rabid expression of countenance be-
neath it ; however, as hypocrisy is the homage which
vice renders to virtue, we must, we suppose, regard the
present demonstration as affording some slight indication
of improvement in the moral perceptions of our oppo-
nents. The Morning Chronicle, fortified by a brace of
extracts from the Leeds Mercury (Cobbett's " great
liar" of the north) and a Radical Manchester news-
paper, in an article headed " Alarming State of the
Manufacturing Disiricts," assures us that the position
of affairs is such in the latter neighbourhood that the
Tory Noblemen of England are organising yeomanry
corps, with the view, " no doubt, of preventing the neces-
sity of making a large increase of the regular army ;" and
(if we understand one of the Chronicle's authorities aright)
of" involving the whole country in a civil war!" The
Nobleman who is said to be taking the initiative in
this good work is Lord Francis Egerton—and his mo-;
tive, that of securing his property against the inevitable
consequence of Tory misrule ! We presume that this
story may safely be left, like the sixteen and sixpenny
one of the Taraworth Boniface, without contradiction.
It affords, however, additional proof, if any were want-
ing, of the folly which is sometimes superinduced
by excessive anger. The assertion that Sir Robert Peel
" will find it necessary to make a large addition to the
army in Ireland," may seem more plausible, looking, at
the success of the efforts of Mr. O'Connell and the Roman
Catholic priesthood on many recent occasions ; but it is
a fallacy, nevertheless.
COURlER.—Parliament, we take it fur granted, as-
sembles on the 19th for the despatch of business, as we
cannot believe that the perfidy of the provisional
Ministry would carry them to far as to violate the
solemn pledge to that effect given by Lord John
Russell. Our confidence had been less assailable
on this point, wets there any subterfuge, pre-
ience, or loophole left to the Whigs whereby they
could escape the fulfilment of their obligation ; but
the keenest ingenuity would be baffled to discover even
a colourable pretext for postponement. The question
then naturally arises, " What will the condemned Cabi-
nd ttu ?" To what course of perfidious policy will they
_resort fir, the consummation of their treason against
.cwnstitutional government, and consequently of their infa-
mous career ? The prints who affect so much indignation
at Sir R. Peel's unavoidable reserve, and pretend such
arac. tr as to
ignorance of of his principles and his ch
pect from him a prescription (to adopt his own apt il-
lustration) before he has-had access to the patient, main-
tain a profound, but, perhaps in this..case,_ a prudent
silence as to the course of' paltry expedients and factious
frauds upon which their paymasters mean to rely in
order to face the new Parliament. Upon that subject
tie country is left completely in the dark, with the
.c
e.x.
into -
eepil'on of a few scattered and equivocal hints, win 11
with s'lsPicious coincidence find their way the
columns ,'f the Whig press in the shape of correspon-
dence, but thich smack strangely of the editorial
alembie. But what do we gather from these ambiguous
inuendoes. What' do these artfully put forth feelers
dote ? It is this, and we challenge the Whig
to deny oi'*---einsay- it, that the' Members
of the Melbourne Ministry individually and collectively
are determined by the most shameful and disloyal abuse
of the privileges of their position to place the Crown in
s relation of direct opposition, if not of open hostility, to
the constitutionally and emphatically expressed wishes
the people.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

' FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
TINEES.—It was stated on 'Change by one of the
members of a city mercantile house of good standing,
that accounts have been received from Canton with in-
telligence beyond that contained in the Calcutta papers,
which is said to be to the effect, that the Emperor had
ordered Keshen to be strangled, and that the order had
been oarried into execution ; also that the chief officer of
a ship of merchant Rustumjee's had been decapitated.
The mode in which this intelligence might have been ob-
tained in eaten: to is explained as follows :—Other letters
from that place ml/4.,nton the arrival in port of a vessel
from Singapore at the when the post was starting,
i
and it is supposa that tll-6ntelligence described above
was received by this channel. As it appears that no
other house in the city has this news, 2nd under all these
circumstances of doubt it must necessarily be received
with a great deal of caution. It may have been this that
produced the speculative dealings that took place in teas
'to-day, and which excited the dealers to operate so
largely as to cause a rise of between 2d. and 3d. per lb,
upon the day's transactions.
POST.—The communication addressed by Senor Sung
y Ruhl to Mr. Uockin respecting the capitalisation of
Coupons, has done nothing for the Spanish market. The
rtherafitneadnteriaielk market
tricks and that have been played off in
at Madrid have so totally destroyed
thedepe pnudbl lone
no
o-edit of. Spain that the bondholders here will
in no nross emanating from it. They will substantialbe-
lieve relief being afforded them until
the money shall be actually
wo d their pockets ; nor can
their incredulity be
n ered at or censured, when it is

remembered that the decrees of 1836, to say nothing of
those anterior to them, but which were not so specially
framed for the purposes of betrayal, remain to this moment
unfulfilled. The coupons of November, 1836, wore capi-
talised and surrounded with the most solemn guarantees,
but there was no money paid, and nothing more had
been said upon the subject until a few days ago, when
out came a project for the recapitalisation of the same
thing at a greatly reduced rate of interest, contrary
to all justice, law, and honour, and without any previous
negotiation with the holders. Senor Surra y Rull find=
cause to approve of the steady " loyalty" of the foreign
bondholders, and as a reward for their meritorious for-
bearance, he promises to give them three per cent. in
stock where five per cent. is due in money, on the divi-
dends in arrear, which, in the event of performance, will
be the real and only active portion of the foreign debt of
Spain; the bonds already afloat, consisting, if accurately
described, of Inactive, Passive, and Deferred, for these
are the just and proper designations to be given to the
three principal kinds. His promise is, however, only a
Spanish promise, and of little value.
It is to be observed that, while Senor Surra y Rull
enters freely enough into a correspondence with an indi-
vidual bondholder concerning his projects and intentions,
he observes a profound silence towards the Committee,
the memorial of which neither he nor Senor Gamboa
has had the courtesy to notice, and in this conduct they
have both been guilty of no little disrespect to Lord Pal-
merston, through whom it was forwarded.
The Chamber of Commerce at Bombay has issued a
circular addressed to the Presidents and Members of the
East India Association and the Chambers of Commerce
of Great Britain, pointing out the evils of the temporising
policy pursued by the English Commissioner. It appears
to the Climber that Captain Elliot should by all means
have taken advantage of the feeling of awe with which
the Chinese were inspired by the capture of Chusan and
the presence of a British force in the vicinity of Pekin,
instead of allowing the dispute to stand over for future
arrangement at Canton, an alternative proposed by the
Emperor in a moment of consternation only as a means
of getting rid of so formidable an enemy, and which
ought to have been instantly seen through as a hollow
pretext and nothing more. The document contains a
just exposition of all the Commissioner's gross blunders,
but it is the less necessary that we should enter more
into details now, as he will be shortly relieved by Sir
Henry Pottinger from the responsibilities of his office.
