tained. We sincerely rejoice at the favourable pro-
gress of the measure, the final success of which may
now be looked upon as certain, and w•e doubt i:o'
that, when time shall have tested its efficacy, it will
be found to fulfil the warmest anticipations of its sup-
porters, and not have led to the injuries prephecied
by its opponents.

simultaneously, and a brief expression from the lips of
the lattcr was sufficient to prevent a necessity fur any
more detailed or more formal explanation. Those are
the actual circumstances of the affair as received from
the most authentic source ; and, as our yesterday's im-
pression will have already shown, the jealousies and
suspicions previously existing have been so fardissipated
that Lord NoBMANBY was occupied for some hours, on
the 2d ultimo, at the Hotel des Affaires Etrangires. It
is even reported that the Noble Marquis will to-morrow
evening attend the usual entertainment given by M.
GUIZOT.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CI 1, QUARIER TO TBRLE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday barely supported
previous rates. Sales 7,000 bales, of which 3,500 were on
speculation. Shares were steady, but not brisk.
The new loan for Spain about to be raised, ostensibly at
Madrid, but in reality, no doubt, here and on the Continent,
should awaken the lively solicitude of the foreign bond-
holders. There are more ways than one of " raising the
wind," and long practice has made the Spanish Government
tolerably perfect in the work. Seeing the distrust (might
we not say disgust) felt by every one at the miserable po-
sition of the foreign creditors of Spain, no open loan, as we
imagine, could possibly be thought of, and a clandestine issue
of stock may probably be resorted to. People ask now in vain
what has been effected by the self-constituted committee of
Messrs. Henderson and Co., and what becomes of the san-
guine anticipations paraded before the eyes of the bond-
holders, who, truth to say, however, have ever attached but
little importance thereto.
We cannot but call attention to the success cf joint-stock
banking in the metropolis within the last few years, as
exhibited more especially in the annual balance-
sheets of the institutions conducted upon this system. The
London and Westminster Bank especially, is an instance of
this, and, from being the first, we believe, is also probably
the most prosperous. Last year the net profits, after paying
the income-tax, were upwards of 74,000 L, and the dividend
consequently is at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, with a
bonus of 21. per cent., and a surplus fund of nearly 100,000/.
The bank has evidently, therefore, secured a safe
business, because its progress has been gradual,
and there is doubtless room for the employment
of the additional capital which the directors are about to
raise upon new shares. It appears that the public made de-
posits with the London and Westminster Bank last year to
the amount of 3,280,000/., and took circular notes from the
establishment for 6,700 L, while the bank invested 938,717/.
of its assets in Government securities, and 2,676,720/. in other
securities; reserving no less than 634,0001. as cash in hand.
We look upon this as being the most creditable statement of
bank management that has come under notice for some
time past.
The accounts from India represent trade as being dull.
The English Stock Market has been flat, and there is an
apparent "lull." Consols have been 901,E % for present
transfer, and 901,E for April. The New Scrip is 114 to
IN premium. Reduced Three per Cent. Stock has been
90N to 91, and the New Three•and-a-Quarter per Cents.
are 924 to 92%. Bank Stock is worth 2041,4 to 205%,
and India Stock 250 to 251. The value of Exchequer-bills
has been 3s. to 6s. premium, while the Advertised are at par
to 3s. premium. The market for the Unfunded Debt is cer-
tainly in a very weak condition.
The Foreign Investments have continued dull. Not a bar-
gain is officially reported in Spanish. Portuguese Four per
Cents. have been quoted 341/x, and Brazilian 861,4 to 87%.

The Railway Share Market has been scarcely so well sup-

BRITISH FUNDS.

The intelligence which has reached us from India,
via Marseilles, will be found generally interesting in
its contents. To those who only take a delight in
the current history of the vest Eastern Peninsula so
long as the sword is kept unsheathed, and pieces of
ordnance continue to belch forth their destructive
missiles against the enemies of British rule, the cha-
racter of the information just received will be neither
exciting nor gratifying. But to such as have accus-
tomed their minds to identify the joy which has
filled them, whenever our arms have been crowned
with victory, with the prospect it held out to England
of introducing the blessing of refined peace and the
choice fruits of civilisation to millions of human
beings, will the serial intelligence from India—that
general tranquillity prevails—be welcomed as the
most refreshing that could be conveyed. Injurious
as was considered, at the time, the result of the great
American war to the supremacy of British power, the
future historian and philosopher will view in a very
different light the establishment of the independence
of America. In the extensive population which had
sprung from our loins, and settled on the expanded
area of the United States, speaking the same language,
imbued with feelings of reverence for political princi-
ples which have proved the mainstays of the greatness
of the British Isles, and characterised by manners,
customs, and habits for the most part identical with
those of their progenitors, we had the safest guaran-
tees that the great work of universal civilisation
would satisfactorily progress, whether the inhabitants
of the states remained as colonists or assumed
the reins of self-government. When, how-
ever, the great republic reared its front,
and placed itself among the leading nations of
northern and western Europe, there can be no doubt
that England was thereby better enabled to concen-
trate her mighty energies in the east, and to shed
the fulness of her light upon the benighted races
that peopled the Indian continent. A greater task of
regeneration was never undertaken by any country
whose means and appliances were, like our own, at
all commensurate with the end to be attained.
Confidence in a foreign ruler is ever a plant
of slow growth in the mind of the native ; but, not-
withstanding the abuses which are, more or less in-
separable from conquest, still, such has been the stern
dignity with which we have, to the utmost of our
ability, from the time Of WARREN HASTINGS, re-
pressed any attempts at rapacity and arbitrary ty-
ranny on the part of the servants of the Crown
against the natives, that, as well from our equitable
governance, as from the manifold advantages which
have been developed and gained by them beneath our
imperial sway, do we, at length, find ourselves come
to be frequently regarded and looked up to by va•
rious hereditary sovereigns as the paternal pro-
tector through whose good faith and alliance, sta-
bility can be imparted to their just rights, and the
general welfare of their respective dominions can be
best promoted. Of this we have recently had a re-
markable instance in the Punjaub, which we com-
municated to our readers little better than a month ago.
Whilst we refer generally to the summary of the
latest Indian news, which will be found in another
column, we must congratulate the public upon
the extensive military reductions which are taking
place in Sinde in particular, and which
the Government of India contemplates it can
with prudence effect in the native armies. Thus, that
of Bengal will be diminished by 25,000 men, and of
Madras and Bombay by 5,000. To this end all re-
cruiting will be prohibited till each native regiment
be reduced from 1,000 to 800 men. Our mili-
tary expenditure will thus be curtailed by between
300,0001. and 400,0001. a year. This saving will be
disposed of in completing the great canals, from
which, by means of irrigation, an inappreciable sti-
mulus will be given to the agricultural resources of
India in considerable portions of territory adjacent to
the Sutlej and the Ganges. The Ganges canal
will be finished by 1851. Instead of the miserable
annual outlay of 20,0001., there will be now furnished
that '.Aovo;buu of people will be thus beneficently
protected against the visitations of famine to which
they have been periodically subjected. Of such a
gigantic cast are the splendid projects conceived by
the Government of India for the welfare of its in-
habitants. Future generations will revere with
reason the brilliant career, military and civil, of Vis-
count HARDINGE.

It is amusing to observe the effect produced by this
sudden renewal of cordiality upon the journals of the
Opposition. Not only has the Presse been, as we have
previously remarked, compelled to eat its own words—
and very tough, indigestible words they were—but the
Union Monarchique and the National have found them-
selves plunged into a somewhat similar bewilderment.
The following from the National is so singular, and
sounds so much like the ringing of the tocsin, that it may
be quoted with comment:—
" The concentration of Russian troops on the frontier of
Galicia? What interest commands it? What conquest has
Nicholas to accomplish on the side of Austria? After having
so well pacified Poland, what fear can he entertain ? No
existing event explains this unusual display of military force.
What can it mean ? We can better comprehend the
armaments of Austria and the augmentation of ber troops.
Austria is not an empire, but an element of violence.
This conglomeration of population, of territory, of
various manners, customs, and ideas, and contradictory
traditions, united by force under one sceptre, requires a
permanent compression. Nothing holds together when no-
thing is united ; the threads of this iron net require constant
repairs. Austria feels the shock of the least movement in
Europe; she immediately draws her bayonets, reinforces
her garrisons, and advances her stupid legions. She can
dsPisiteusrbiann ,
only maintain herself by producing fear. For that reason
she
eavo has increased
to
and she is en-
disturbances
sby establishing a
corps d'annie on the borders of Tessin°, and thus
dexchiteer
menacing at the same time Piedmont and Switzerland. All
the Governments are now contracting loans. Prussia is con-
voking her States-General in order to contract a loan and
to re-establish her lost credit. England is borrowing
200,000,000, Spain 50,000,000, Montemolin 25,000,000. Don
Miguel is negotiating, and he likewise would wish to raise a
loan. As for our part, if we escape such a necessity this
year, we must infallibly have recourse to a loan next year,
'What is causing such uneasiness throughout Europe? It
must be admitted that is because nothing is founded on a
solid and firm basis. Suppose the death of one man to-
mcrrow, and the disturbance which agitates provident minds
will be converted into facts. This event is not necessary to
render the position caused by the Spanish marriages more
satisfactory. The causes which excite Austria and the
Northern Courts are well known, and the motives of the
avowed hostility of England are likewise well known. The
latter does not disguise her preparations; the Government
demands new supplies for the increase o her marine, her
army, and her artillery. A portion of the overplus of the
last budget has been employed in fitting out new ships.
Several ships of the line are armed at Malta, and it is con-
templated to reinforce the already numerous fleet in the Me-
diterranean by eight ships of the line. Is it for mere pleasure
that the Whig Cabinet is multiplying its expenses during a
year of such afflicting scarcity?"
Such a bellicose interpretation of our maritime reform
in regard to the increase of navy estimates, is one
among the numberless evil consequences resulting from
the long procrastination of that great and salutary
measure. We postpone an abandonment of our insane
parsimony until the abandonment of that parsimony is
regarded rather as a preparation for war than as a
movement for the preservation of peace.
So remarkable was the depression in the Funds on
the announcement made upon the Bourse, on Tuesday,
that no intelligence had been received from London as
to the negotiation of the loan, that the Three per Cents.

Our accounts from Madrid reach to the 25th ultimo,
and are meagre of information.
The protracted discussion upon the Address was still
proceeding, with no prospect of its immediate termina-
tion. The Bills of Loan and Levy had encountered
much opposition in the Standing Committees of the
Chambers, but the majority ultimately decided that Go-
vernment should be supported through its present diffi
culties, on the understanding that the demand of
50,000 recruits were diminished to 25,000.

Queen CHRISTINA and her spouse, the Duke DE
RIANZARES, were expected to quit Madrid on the Bth
of the present month ; their arrival in France is not,
however, anticipated till much later than might be cal-
culated from the above announcement.

Carlist movements are still reported to be rife in many
of the provinces, and to have extended even to Guada-
lajara. Notwithstanding the blustering positiveness of
the Herald°, there :ieems to be some likelihood in the
current rumours.

MADRID Botss, FEB. 25.—The Three per Cents. were

the Debt without Interest, at 6 ; and the Coupons, at 17.

The Paris journals of Tuesday have reached us.
Scarcely anything of importance is contained in the
Opposition papers beyond commentaries upon the recent

reconciliation between the British Ambassador and 11l

GUIZOT. Nfore improbable conjectures or insinuations
could not well be conceived than those uttered in rela-
tion to this singular transaction. Among these we
must mentiori the amusing insinuation contained in the
National "After what we ha% e already recounted in
regard to the reconciliation between Lord NORMANDY
and the Minister for Foreign Affairs," says this organ, " it
must be ostensible that the initiation in the conciliatory
movement was undertaken by a very different personage
from the Austrian Ambassador, 'and one much more

Before this interesting reconcilement is forgotten by
the recurrence of weightier mutters, it may be as well
to mention tip most accurate of the various accounts
' given of the Danner in which it was brought about.
According to this description of the affair, the whole
credit of the first movement of conciliation is due to
Count APPONY. Through a suitable channel it ap-
pears that that Ambassador front the Austrian Court
caused a communication to be made to Lord NORMANBY,
to the effect that if the matter were confided en-
tirely to his (Count APPONY'S) hands, he was
confident of his ability to render any explana-
tion unnecessary. As we observed yesterday, the first
advance might come with most grace and most dignity
from the Noble Marquis, the representative of her
MAJESTY at Paris. As in all misunderstandings, the
party sinned against can afford best to make that first
a lvr nee, while the party sinning is morally incapable of
any such concession. Anxious to afford the Austrian
Ambassador every honourable facility in his laudable
character of peace-maker, and satisfied as to the inte-
grity of his own reputation throughout. the squabble,
Lord NORMANDY, with an alacrity molt creditable to
him gave Count APPONY a carte blanche, to intimate to
M. GUIZOT his (the Marquis of NORMANBIeS) readiness
to allow the coolness between them to draw. to a conclu-
sion. One only condition is said to have accompanied
this communication, namely, that the Englis b Ambassa-
dor should require a preliminary acknowled,vment from
M. GurzoT, that, in his speech of the sth ultia io, he had
' in no manner questioned the accuracy of the dispatches
written by himself (the Marquis of NORMAN '3ll)* Ce
n'est que le premiere pas qui route. And that was the
premiel e pas.
In consequence of this intimation an inter` iew was
contrived at the hotel of Count APPONY. Orr seeing
each other Lord NORMANBY and M. GUIZOT advanced
