the result of the appeal to the new Parliament may easily Le
foreseen. lie cannot pretend that he, or that any one of his
party, can foresee anything but defeat. The delay, then, for
the decision of the new Parliament, and the announced in-
tention bringing the whole new policy of Whig-Radicalism
under Parliamentary review, before a resignation takes
place, is evidently an impudent and profligate design of
retaining the advantages and emoluments of office after
all constitutional right to them has passed away. It is an
indecent clutching at the last remnants of possible gain, which
must be quite disgusting to every man of just principle and
elevated feeling. It is the policy of mean avarice, combined
with low cunning, for of course it must be no inconsiderable
embarrassment to those leading men who cannot but under-
take the Government of the country when the deciiion of the
new Parliament is obtained, that their arrangements are post-
pon-d to the latest minute, and that a Session of Parliament
beginning at the close of tie month of August, must be so long
occupied with that which is virtually decided already. Since
it is the .ntention of the beaten Ministers to meet Parliament,
they must of course prepare an address, and under such cir-
cumstances we suppose the majority will deem it consistent
with the respectful duty which they owe the Crown to signify
by a very strong amendment what they think of the conduct of
Ministers in continuing to hold office after the reprimand they
received from the late House of Commons,—a reprimand which
they cannot have the smallest scintilla of a hope will be re-
scinded by the present HouSe; Lord John Russell flippantly •
says: that it was difficult to refute the arguments which Minis-
ters brought forward in support of their new policy; but easy
to misconstrue their motives. As to the latter, they can only
be interred from acts ; and, certainly,' when we compare and
analyse facts, and when we consider the perpetual recurrence
.of
discreditable shifts and expedients, by which the present Minis-
ters, even when ignominiously beaten, contrive to stick to office,
even the most charitable may well be led to the conclusion
that the meanest and most sordid motives must actuate the men
who fall into such practices. As to the arguments used by Mi-
nisters in support of their new policy, there was, at all events,
no difficulty in finding as complete a refutation as Whig-Radi-
cal ingenuity could supply. •It was only necessary to reter to
the debates of last year when Lord John Russell and his col-
leagues opposed the very policy which now they recommend.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

CHRONICLE.—We learn by letters from the north that
the crops in the counties of Aberdeen, Banff, and Moray, are
remarkably short, and that the yield of barley and oats will be
far below an average in these districts, unless the weather
should set in particularly dry and warm. The hay crops in
these districts is good for nothing, and fodder, under any cir-
cumstances, must be very scarce next winter. These un- '
promising appearances are owing to the cold ung-enial season—
long drought, without moisture, and a nipping cold tem-
perature.
This state of the coming harvest is rot, however, by any
means to be applied generally to Scotland. in the southern
districts the appearance is much more sa.'isfactory. The coun-
ties of Aberdeen, Banff, and Moray, are the staple districts for
oats and barley. The breadth 'of wheat sown in the two first
named counties is very limited, owing to the quality of the
soil and climate; but Mora4shire is considered, the granary of
the north, and is a fine rich sandy loam, producing wheat of
great weight and fineness of colour.
HERALD..--Accounts to the 27th February have btsen re-
ceived from Port Adelaide. The dishonour of Colonel Gaw-
Icr's bills, drawn on the Colonisation COmMissioners, still Con-
tinue to attract the principal part of the public attention, and
some very severe remarks on his conduct are made. No ac-
counts of the disbursements of the large sum which is known to
have been paid into the ' Trea'sury thre have yet been pub-
lished, an amount exceeding 200,0001., exclusive of the power
vested in him of drawing upon England to the extent of 12,0001.
per annum, and over which the Council his exercised no 'Con-
trol. He had, in commUnicating •the circumstance officially
to the Council, announced the singular fact that "he had re-
ceived no communication either from the Colonial-office or the
Commissioners on the subject." No fear was entertained that
the prosperity of the colony would be permanently affected by
the refusal to honour those bills, it being, as asserted, rich in
its own resources, with a revenue rapidly increasing, and
having produced in the.first year of.the present Governor's ad-
ministration 18,0001., and in the second 24,0001., subsequently
to which nb accounts have been furnished.- • The-price of fine
flour was 251, to 3t./., tend seeond22/. to 241. per ton. ; wheat
10s. to 12s. per bushel.

partially favourable chabge, and the few gleams of sun-

SPORTING. INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERS A T. L'S.—( l'Esrt;nnA r.)
The Goodwood Stakes' betting was more animated
than on lqoaday, but scarcely more important ; the al-
terations were confined to Welfare, Henri Quatre, Por-
trait, and the Maid, each haying been in demand at an
improvement, on the last quotations. The Maid (one of
G. Dawson's lot) made her appearance at 30 to 1, and
was afterwards backed freely at ten points less ; at. the,
close no offer against her exceeded the price mentioned
below. A change of considerable interest
.is noticeable
in the Cup. Nautilus declined from 9t02t0.7 to 1, and
as a doubt is entertained whether Vendredi will go,
the French tarty will probably call in the assistance of
Oakstick and Lantara to enable them to pull through..
In consequence of this decline Pouhontas became first
favourite at a greatly improved figure. - Colwick, like
Nautilus, was on the retreat ; and Charles the' Twelfth,
without being .•backed; took the position .filled. by, the
mares 9n Monday. 2B to 1 was taken freely about Ro-
bert de Gorham for the Derby ; and 10 to 1 would have
been taken-about Middleham
.for the St. Leger. Closing
