[NEW TIMES.]
Yesterday little business was transacted in the
Funds, with the exception of one extensive sale
made on account of the Legatees under the Will of
the late Duke of Queensberry, respecting which
a motion was lately made in the Court of Chancery,
to prevent the whole amount,47o,oool.from being
sold at one time, from fear of producing a depre-
predation in the market. This apprehension was
the event ; for, on the contrary,

improved in the course of the day, having
opened at 92i 4, and closed at 0211. The in-
telligence from Peru'of the successes of Boli.
var still remains to be the subject of much
doubt ; and the individuals closely connected
with that Country, and whose interests would
strongly incline them to a belief in its truth, are
the parties most inclined to doubt its accuracy.
Some days may probably elapse before the truth
can be ascertained. In the interval the effect
upon the Securities of the South American States
is likely to be unimportant. Yesterday the prices
remained nearly the same as prievously to the
reported arrival of intelligence, there not being a
half per cent. difference in the prices. Peruvian
Scrip, however, which was the other day at 30
per cent. discount, is now quoted at 20 per cent.
discount.

FREE 'fit APE.—Throughout the whole of the
discussions which took place during the last Session of Parlia-
ment, in consequence of the projects of Government to lay open
trade as far as possible, we Advocated the system of a free trade.
We were convinced that'this country was able to compete in
every branch with the whole world, we were satisfied that all
protections from competition were only checks upon energy, all
prohibitions of foreign articles only cramps upon domestic in.
dustry, in as much as they take away that stimulus to invention
and improvement which necessity creates. Every trial has
borne witness to the truth of these positions, each relaxation
of trading restrictions, each increase of liberty given to it,
has given additional spirit, additional buoyancy to trade, which
soars to still greater heights of improvement the mote it is left
to itself. In this country the branch of trade which has made
the greatest progress, which has most completely outstripped
all othera, has been the one least. protected, the most complete.
ly left to rely on itself; and in its early stages it was not only
unprotected, but in fact opposed by legal enactments. Halt' a
century has not elapsed since Calicoes could not be legally made.
and sold In this country, as the East India Company hail a
nuinOpolyof the market and the right of exclusive supply ; in
consequence of this the calicoes were made with a fast thread of'
coloured twist down each side, and then were sold us stripped
cottons. Hut prohibitions of this kind could not last long,
they were soon done away with ; but the fact of laws
having clogged the commencement of such a trade, when
it* subsequent
_progress is known, speaks volumes as
to the effect of laws against any trade ; for if the energy
of a people .he directed to any particular object, the greatest
obstacles give way, and industry with perseverance will
prevail. Without any protection, without any call for forced
support upon the country, the Cotton trade has bid defiance
to all competition, either in amount and importance at
home, or in cheapness . and facility of production abroad.
—Placed in the midst of this manufacture, with the proofs
of its success and Increase before our eyes, we may be partial
judges, woe ::may draw general inferences from particular
cattle)", Lit.:we_tiotithink that great Mee of its prosperity hate
been that to the e ortt'alime of ilmse engaged in it, has its care
been intrusted, and it Is our thin opinion that if all the other
. branches of tettilei,b)

greater proportion than they have done. We are borne out In
this opinion by the recent alterations in the Silk trade : what
has been the effect Of time measures Adopted ? why—that greater
activity has been shown, greater cttbris made, a greater num•
her of improvements In egitit!im thin were ever before known
in so short a time, and 'elreedy thnag who were most timid,

th ;-because 'that inched to . greater diligence. out Mankthie"'
turers are using every ton and graining every nerve to. give
,the best information and adopt every iinproveinent which is

the laws relating to Shipping have produced the very best
effects, ,have thrown addadonel employment into the hands
of our ship-owners, and whilst apparently placing • them
without additional protection have, by taking off restraints and
fancied protections, given them real eecority and increased cm- •
PlaVthelat. If then these are facia, and that they are we can
vouch, every step towards the attainment of making such prin-
ciples general Amid be wished for by every one,, not only by
by those engegtei in any particular Winch, but by ell of what-
ever rank or occupation. If in trade these principles are sound and
good, why should they not be so in agriculture; the comparison
Is fair in every way 4 hut we have not apace to-day to go on with
1116 argument. In our next week's limier we purpose to apply
this subject, in continuation, to the Corn Laws, as not only
injuring commerce but as injuring agriculture, and being di.
re.ctly contrary wall sound principles at' legislation,. and to . the ,
reel interest* of the whole country, and of the egricultarists
themselves..

PERSIAN and ENGLISII LANGUAGES

ON CERTAIN SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE
PERSIAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES.
The learned Sir WILLIAM JoNEs was of opi-
nion that boon or Persia was the country from
which all the nations of the earth derived their
origin ; it being, according to him, the place
whence people migrated in all directions, and in
which migration they of course carried their
language along with them. Ile supposed that the
language of the first Persian empire was the mo-
ther of the Sungskrut, and consequently of the
Zend and Parsi, as well as of Greek, Latin, and
Gothic. lle goes further to say, the inhabitants
of Britain first came from Armenia, and that the
Goths, or Scythians, first came from Persia, vide
Asiatic Research, p. 64, 65 ; and Flowers of Per-
sian Literature, p. 46, 47. That the ancient Hint
doos copied their former worship from the Persians,
we are assured in Maurice's Antiquities, where it
s particularly mentioned in p. 195, 196, corro-
borating the opinion of Sir WILLIAM JONES ; for
if one nation adopted the religion of another, can
there be a doubt of its adoption of part of its lan-
guage also ? To oppose such authorities as those
just stated, and they are borne out too not only
by the creed of our fore-fathers, but many other
strong and presumptive existing proofs, would be
little better than questioning the truth of fact,
which the following instances will place beyond
the power of the most ardent lover of quibble to
rebut.—Here reference shall only be made to a
few cases, in which two languages are so strictly
alike, both in sound and meaning, that the most
superficial observer must perceive their affinity,
and then it will require but little sagacity to se.
partite the parent from the offspring. Out of at
least 1,000 words that might easily be instanced,
a few only shall be taken as they present
themselves :—and, first, let us. take 44 bud h,"
which in Persian means " wicked or bad ;"
" burader" is" brother" in every sense; "boucle"
a " slave," one that is bound ;" " bate" is a
" butt" for shooting at—query, whence comes
the French word 44 butt ?" -The Persian com-
parative of the adjective good, viz. bether," is
precisely our English word " better ; " bill," a
44 pickaxe," in Persian, with a hooked point—
English, " bill" or billhook ;" " patter"
" father"— Latin, 64 pat er ;" " pees," " fairy ;"
" peer," in Persian, a title of honour, meaning
46 senior," or 46 old," 46 wise," 66 learned" or man
of quality ;" " dokhter," 44 daughter ;" " der"
a " gate" or " door ;" 44 shekher," " sugar."
