LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1849.

of the 10th December, 1848, up to the time of its
first anniversary. He maintains at the very outset of
this analysis that it is necessary for reasons sufficiently
obvious to consider the government of the Presidency
during that interval in two separate divisions, one com-
mencing with the 10th of December and endiog with
the 31st of October, the other commencing with
the 31st of October and ending with the 10th De-
cember, the former opening in 1848, the latter closing
in 1849. During the first interval it is intimated
that we are to regard the Ministerial functions as
entrusted to the electors of the 10th of December ;
during the second they were confided, on the con-
trary, to the elected of the 10th December. The former
administration was reparative and conciliative ; the
latter administration was, in a manner, creative and
inaugurative of the working of the new Constitution.
How far the definition may be considered as felicitous
can be readily estimated by those who have closely
watched the progress of affairs at Paris since the
establishment of the power of Prince Louis Naro•
LEON—from the memorable morning when, pro-
claimed PRESIDENT of the French Republic by six
millions of votes, and acknowledged as the elect of the
people, in the presence of the Constituent National
Assembly, be descended from the tribune and prof-
fered the hand of friendship to his rival, CAVAIGNAC,
recently hurled from the Dictatorship. It was
manifestly from motives of conciliation that such a
man 23 M. DUFAURE was summoned to attend the
councils holden by the Imperial Democrat, in the
parlour of the Elysee, even at the time when the
conduct of the Cabinet was confided to the hands of
M. ODILON BARROT. It was from motives,
moreover, of reparation that the ruins of the law
were again, gradually and almost imperceptibly,
gathered up with the grasp of a central authority.
As is very judiciously remarked in the Journal des
Debats of Sunday, the interval preceding the 31st of
October was necessarily and essentially restricted to
the larours of reparation and conciliation—" it had
I not, it could not by any possibility have much to
create, and hence it was that all the larger questions
were reserved for the second epoch, the epoch which
is now not very long commenced." Unquestionably
the truth of thie is wholly incontrovertible. After
the convulsions of the revolution of February, more
especially after the tremendous conflict of June be-
hind the barricades, a period was required, such as
that happily called by the Parisian publicist, " the
period of repose and convalescence." Time was re-
quisite to enable the turbid waters of society to
become clarified by the subsidence of the sedi-
ment of evil passions stirred np from the
recesses of the community by the turmoils
of the revolutionary outbreak, and particles of which
are still floating on the surface. Before anything
advantageous could be attempted it was essential
that the heats of contention should be permitted to
allay their violence ; otherwise no permanent cohesion
could be expected to manifest itself between the
different powers of the state. That interval
was allowed to elapse without any perverse
precipitation of events, and Louis NAPOLEON,
satisfied that the day of change had arrived
with the 31st of October, had the courage to take the
initiative with a boldness befitting a BONAPARTE, and
at the seine time with a loyalty to the popular cause
worthy of the elected of December. Since that change
in the policy of his administration it has b,,,come
more and more perceptible that the sincerity of his
adhesion to the democratic form of govern-
ment, inaugurated in February, was in no re-
spect a pretence merely for the sake of enabling
him to conspire for the final assassination of Re-
publicanism and the abrupt restoration of Imperialism.
As recently as the very day of his great anniversary,
the anniversary of his spontaneous election by France
on the 10th of December, Louis NAPOLEON declared
with a gallantry befitting one in his elevated position,
as the choice of the "great nation," and as the chief
magistrate of the grand European Democracy, in this
twofold character, we say he had the gallantry to
declare that his aim was not the parody of any future,
however august or glorious, but the resolute consoli-
dation of the institutions of his country and the
development of its general prosperity and happiness.
Many of the most vigilant and sagacious scruti-
nizers of the new Republican Constitution of France
are beginning to manifest a large amount of solicitude
as to the consequences which may result from one vast
incongruity in its construction—namely, the irre-
sponsibility to the Assembly of the PRESIDENT, and
the indissolubility of the Assembly ! And, certainly,
unless mutual concessions be, at times, made both
by the Assembly and by the PRESIDENT, it is im-
possible not to anticipate other than a violent col-
lision between rival powers of such immense strength,
and so entirely independent of each other. Hitherto
the labours of both have been preparative ; let us
hope that the vitality inherent in each, a vitality
drawn from the suffrages of the people, may not upon
any material point of administration prove directly
or indirectly antagonistic. Under the Provisional
Government, or rather under the sway successively
of the Executive Commission and of the military
Dictatorship, France secured to herself the capability
of preventing any hostile struggles between the de-
liberative and executive authorities of the Govern-
ment. According to the then system, the rulers of
the country were drawn from the members of
the Assembly, or reabsorbed into the body of the
Parliament, in obedience to the wisdom or pleasure of
the popular Representatives. By this means any
lengthened contention between the Legislative Go-
vernment and the Executive Government wes
rendered impracticable. According to the system
now enforced by the new Constitution, the PRESIDENT,
however at variance with the Assembly, must remain
in power until the expiration of the stipulated
interval of his supremacy. Besides which he, in his
predominant capacity as first magistrate in the Re-
public, is precluded from any exercise of power such
as would go to the dissolution of the House of Re-
presentatives. Independent, strictly and glaringly
independent of each other, drawn alike from the
abysses of the popular :will, differing in their origin
only in this respect, that the suffrages of the popu-
lation which, distributed over several hundred
individuals in the one instance, are concentrated
upon the head of one man in the other, the Assembly
and the PRESIDENT are liable to quarrels, for the
termination of which (except with the existence of
either or both) the Constitution has in no manner
provided. Upon this point much anxiety is beginning
to be felt by those most generously disposed towards
the cause of Republicanism. Earnestly and most
profoundly is it to be hoped that means will be
adopted for the prevention of any catastrophe in
consequence of this incongruity in the structure of
the Constitution, and that the rectification of a
blunder so enormous may be effected before any
calamities may have followed upon its recognition.

Even among the most captious publicists of France
the government of Louts NAPOLEON, during the first
year of his Presidentship, is eliciting approbation.
Under all circumstances, therefore, the policy adopted
by that illustrious functionary appears to have been
admirably selected in its relations with the new
Democracy. Its popularity after a period of such
extraordinary agitation, when the responsibility of
maintaining the supremacy of the laws has been en•
cumbered by so many and such appalling difficulties,
is a sufficient testimony that its character has been
peculiarly that of elasticity and conciliation. Without
a very large degree of elasticity it could never have
proved adaptable to a community just recovering
from the paroxyms of revolutionary excitement, and
swaying to and fro'under the influence of antagonistic
demagogues. Without conciliation, moreover, and con-
ciliation, too, of a very remarkable kind, eager without
sycopha.ncy, and generous without extravagance, the
contending factions could never have been so far
reconciled as to admit of a hope of their ulterior
amalgamation. Thanks to the bold but tranquillising
course pursued by the PRESIDENT, that
hope is actually visible in the still fluc.
tuating but propitious prospective of French
Republicanism. Hi.' efforts towards effecting a certain
degree of union among the incongruous parties in
the Legislative. Assembly, have proved, even so far
as the present time is concerned, satisfactory, inso-
much that, notwithstanding the differences of opinion
which must have been otherwise inevitable in the
discussions of that Parliament, its opposite classes
may be readily calculated. What must have been,
und* a less assuaging awl conciliative rule, almost
incalculable in regard to number, is now, we repeat,
readily to ba calculated—the principal divisions being
those of Right and Li,ft, Extreme Right and Extreme
Left, the Centre and the Mountain. If only, there-
fore, fur the reasons already given, the administrative
scheme adventured upon by the PRESIDENT is erni•
nently deserving of approval, and the adroitness
displayed by him in conducting the machinery of the
Executive, would have been entitled to our highest
encomiums, even without teking into consideration
the obstacles thrown in his way by the antecedent
turmoils of the Revolution.
A conviction seems to be ripening in the minds of
the French population that the setnewhet enigmatical

With the ingenious sophistry usually visible on the
part of such unfair logicians, it is beginning to be
argued by the leading reactionary journalists of the
metropolis, that we are perverting facts for the pur-
pose of supporting our arguments in favour of the
Hungarians. While uttering these accusat►ons, our
Contemporaries honour us with a nickname, doubt-
less regarded by them as singularly opprobrious, but
to our thinking one as acceptable as euphonious—
alluding to us as among those who may be generically
designated Anglo-Magyars. As Anglo-Magyars,
therefore, we are charged with having frivolously
rsserted that the crown of Hungary was never
settled on the House of Austria and united to its
other possessions. Neither to ourselves nor to those
few members of the English press who sympathise
with the lawful aspirations of the Hungarians, can
such a very preposterous and ignorant remark be in
any particular attributed. What we have really
maintained, and what all the lovers of Hungarian
independence are prepared at any moment to demon-
strate in the face of all the treaties signed before or
after "the completion of the Pragmatic Sanction, is
this, that the crown of Hungary has never been
united to the crown of Austria. Not that the
crown of Hungary has never been settled on the
dynasty of Austria—for such an assertion would be
nothirg less than a huge and incorrigible absurdity.
That the diadem of St. STEPHEN has repo-cd upot,
the brows of the Princes of the family of Hapsburg
is a fact patent to the.knowledge of every schoolboy
instructed in the mere outlines of European
history ; and to attempt to ignore the
existence of such a fact would be as
silly as it would inevitably prove ineffectual•
Yet; manifest as is the circumstance that the same in-
dividuals who have worn the imperial crown of

charmer of tile Government during the commence-
ment of Louis NAPOLEON'S career as President, was
the only secure and sagacious preservative of its
dignity and predominance. For the purpose of de-
monstrating the correctness -of this apparently idle
and even eccentric proposition, one of the most
ingenious publicists of the Republic has attempted
an analysis of the administration from the election

THE S UN, I ONDON, TUESDAY EVEIN,

Austria have been permitted to wear, in like manner, '
the regal crown of ilungary, it is equally incontro-
vertible that thT two diadems have, throughout, been
entirely distinct, and that, in not one single instance
have they been ever known to become amalgamated.
Quite as clear is it that our previous assertion, to the
effect that FRANCIS JOSEPII is not the lawful heir
to the Hungarian monarchy was correct. FRANCIS
JOSEPH, we repeat, is merely a pretender to that
hereditary rank; his position is this—he is
the son of the heir to the royal dignity
over the Hungarians. The real King of
Hungary at this moment is FERDINA.ND (the First
of Ifungary, the Fifth of Austria)—for FERDINAND
has never yet abdicated the crown of St. STEPHEN—
and supposing he had abdicated it, that abdication has
not been accepted by the Hungarians—and supposing
it had been accepted by them, the next claimant to the
rank of their Sovereign would be the father of the
present EMPEROR of Austria. llence, we repeat it,
with the closest and strictest adherence to truth, that
FRANCIS JOSEPH, so far from being King of Hungary,
is not even the rightful heir to the crown of St.
STEPHEN ; be is only the son of the heir to the
kingdom of the Magyars. Let him advance his sole
right to their obedience, a right already specified by
ourselves, the right of conquest. If he must needs
call himself King of Hungary, let him designate
himself with the candour of a bold usurper (as we
have already designated him), FRANCIS JOSEPH, the
Red Emperor of Austria, and King of Hungary by
he grace of the Guillotine !

'U E FRENCH REPUBLIC,

The proceedings at the annual exhibition of the
Birmingham and Midland Counties Agricultural
Association are deserving of more than ordinary
attention. Meetings have recently been held in
almost every part of the country, landlords and tenants,
owners and occupiers of the soil, have assembled
together to afford practical proofs of progress in the
pursuits in which they are engaged, to consider their
present condition and future prospects. But the
attendance has been limited to a single
class. Few manufacturers have expressed an
interest in, or taken any part in, the
proceedings. The supposed rivalry that existed
between those different branches of industry; the
unreasonable demands of the formers, in reqniring
that taxes should be imposed on articles of primary
necessity, for their own ex Ausive advantage, have
prevented that cordial co-operation that is so greatly
to be desired. "Protection to British industry" is,
no doubt, a high-sounding phrase, well adapted to
attract the attention of those who are enduring
difficulties under which the great majority of the
people are suffering; but it is too plainly shown that
the farmers are only seeking a partial and one-sided
"protection"—a protection which may possibly en-
hance their own profits, but which can only do so at
the expense of the rest of the community. Tkey do
not put forward or demand the enactment of any
great and comprehensive measure that will affect
the entire nation, that will improve the position of
merchants, manufacturers, and traders of every de-
scription as well as of farmers, that will provide em-
ployment for the artizans and operatives of the largo
towns, as well as for the agricultural labourers. They
array themselves in a distinct and separate corps, and
they are surprised to find, that their operations are
reg ivied with suspicion, and that they do not receive
assistance and encouragement from others, against
whom they have committed overt acts of hostility.
The manufacturers have hitherto kept aloof. The
nation has b-:en divided into two great parties, who
have mutually looked upon each other as mutual
en3mies, and seemed to consider that no measure was
worthy of acceptance, or could prove beneficial to
themselves, unless it inflicted a "heavy blow and
great discouragement " upon their rivals.
Birmingham has, however, taken the lead in pro-
ducing a healthier feeling, in bringing the opposing
parties together, and teaching them that their inte-
rests are not so very dissimilar, as they have hereto-
fore seemed to think. At the dinner of the
association last week, held in the metropolis of the
Midland Counties—the great town that for so many
years has occupied so prominent a position in the
cause of reform—agriculturist and manufacturer,
Protectionist and Free-trader, were seated side by side,
enjoying the festivities of the occasion. The healths of
" The Members of the Borough" were received with
the most unanimous approbation and enthusiastic

M. FERDINAND BABROT is also busily engaged in
carrying out the plan for the abolition of passports.
The great difficulty in this case is how to provide
compensation for the numerous public functionaries
who will be thrown out of employ by the abolition of
the passport system. Among other schemes it is
proposed that a compensation fund shall be raised by
levying from the captain of every steamer head money
for each passenger he brings over.

applause, while the toast of the evening, "The
Agricultural Interest," was entrusted to Mr. MUNTZ,
who had long been one of the most zealous Free-
traders. As Mr. SPOONER justly remarked, "It was
the first time that the attempt had been made practi-
cally to demonstrate the great truth that agriculture
and e.ommerce were twin sisters, born at a birth, and,
whenever buried, would lie in one grave." Their
interests are, indeed, identical, and neither could be
in a prosperous condition unless the other were also
flourishing.
Mr. MUNTZ clearly showed that what were termed
" the protective laws" did great injustice to the ma-
nufacturers ; that it was an isolated, partial, and
unjust protection, and never even protected the far.
mers themselves ;" that the latter were in ruin and
misery even when in the full enjoyment of the prat.
tical monopoly which the bread-tax afforded. He
instanced the years 1822, 1835, and 1836, when the
agriculturists were" holding meetings in all quarters
of the country, and declaring that they were
all going to perdition," and drow the ob-
noxious conclusion that the restrictive law did
not serve those whom it was intended to protect,"
and he declared himself to be " an advocate for that
protection that wouli protect all classes equally,
fairly, justly, and honestly"—" that would equally pro-
tect the manufacturer and the agriculturist." Mr.
MUNTZ did not, however, explain the nature of that
protection, although no person was better qualified to
do so, or could more fully have exposed the
enormous evils resulting from our monetary code,

lle did not develope the vast advantages that would
arise from the adoption of a currency adequate
to the wants of the country, that would apply a
stimulus to every branch of industry. It would,
indeed, be of the utmost importance that the question
should be fully and fairly brought before the nation
on every possible opportunity, that both parties be
taught the only remedy that would extirpate the
disease which pervades the entire system.
Although we regret being compelled to differ in
any respect from FO consistent a Reformer as Mr.
MusiTz, we cannot pass over the concluding part of his
speech without protesting against the adoption of any
additional duty, fixed or otherwise, on corn. Such
a duty would be essentially " protective," and for the
benefit of a single class. It would take out of the
pockets of the people far more than would find its
way into the national Exchequer. It is not merely
the corn purchased from the foreigner that would be
enhanced in price, but every quarter purchased in
the home market would undergo a similar change. It
would practically be a subsidy paid by the entire
nation to one class. A duty may be imposed
for revenue purposes merely on tea, tobacco,
wine, coffee, sugar, and other articles that cannot,
under any circumstances, be produced in this country,
but whenever it is placed upon a commodity pro-
duced at home, as well as abroad, in which there can
be a competition between the native and the foreigner,
it must operate as a premium to the former, and
injuriously affect the interests of the consumer.
There is, perhaps, no form of protection that would
be more objectionable, and we must emphatically
wain the Free -traders against giving any sanction or
encouragement to a proposition in every respect so
mischievous.

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES,

PRUSSIA.
The reply of Baron SCIILLINITZ, the Prussian
Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the Austrian protest
against the convocation of the Erfurth Parliament, is
published in the Prussian journals The main points
are the ful!owing. It is addressed to the Prussian
Ambassador at Vienna :
" The Austrian Ambassador at our Court, the Baron
Prokesch d'Osten, has read to me a dispatch of his
Government, accompanied by a project tof eventual
protestation against the establishment of a restricted
federal state and a convocation of a Parliament of those
States which adhered to the treaty of the 26th of May.
The President of the Council of Ministers is still in
doubt, according to the wording of that dispatch,
whether it is the serious determination of the Imperial
Government to take at present the measures therein in-
dicated. Howsoever, we Lover made a secret of our in
tontions, and the Imperial Cabinet will well understand
that the Government of the King has taken en
engagement, be it towards tho country, be it
towaiels the Government, his allies, by (It cla-
rations of so solemn a character that retraction
would bo a breach of faith, of which no Government
could render itself guilty. The Government is also per-
suaded that the path upon which it has entered
re: ponds to the urgent necessities of the present times,
without infringing upon its obligations. Thus the Pre-
sident of the Council of Ministers cannot evince any as-
tonishment that the Council of Administration should, in
the sitting of the 17th, on the proposition of its Presi-
dent, have declared that the elections of the Erfarth Par-
liament would take place on the 31st January next.
" The President of the Council of Midst. rs cannot,
under these circumstances, underrate the step taken by
the Austrian Government. I wish to express myself
as clearly and precisely as possible, to leave no doubt
upon the intentions of the Government in the pres, nt
circumstances. It is only by !rank and candid language
bearieg upon the question without secondary consider-
ations, that misunderstandings and complications ern be
avoided, and a settlement rendered possible. This will
be attained if the Imperial Cabinet does not misconstrue
what duty, honour, and her own convictions command
us, and what an imperious necessity exacts.
" If Austria wishes to protest in this sense that the
concertations of the Parliament with the allied Govern-
ments is a breach of duty towards the Germanic Confe-
deration of 1815, we will not, we cannot make any ob-
jection. We recognise the right of Austria to do so.
" We recognise Austria's right, and on our part will
engage ourselves to make it our mission and our duty
to organise the restricted federal state in such a guise
that it shall never interfere with a reorganiastion of the
federal constitution. But if, on the other hand, Austria
(as the dispatch would seem to imply) proposes pro-
testing egainst the formation of a restricted federal
state, and against the convocation of a Parliament con-
sisting of the allied states, we should feel it our duty to
oppose formally such a protest, founding our disavowal
on incontestible right,"
The Berliner Nachrichten of the 15th contains the
following :—" A report is current here that the
EMPEROR of Austria has written a note to the KING
of Prussia, which entirely does away with any appre-
hension of a conflict resulting from the recent
unsatisfactory interchange of correspondence between
the Cabinets of Austria and Prussia. The EMPEROR
stated positively that Austria would go hand-in hand
with Prussia in establishing order and tranquillity in
Germany.

SICILY.
Accounts from Palermo state that the arbitrary
arrests con aline, that many are every day shot by
orders of ,courts-martial, and that the prisons of Pa-
lermo being more than filled, several hundreds of un-
fortunat e persons have been transferred to the citadel
of Ws sina. It is evident, however, that King Boom
Bela himself insecure, and by his recent conduct
he shows that he is aware he is only an usurper, that
the only legitimate government of Sicily is the Par-
liament, and that, as the decree of the Parliament has
deposed him, so he can never be legtilly King of
SICILY so long as that decree shall subsist. He has,
therefore, endeavoured by threats and cajoleries to
induce the Members of the Sicilian Parliament, who
remain in his power, to sign individually a repeal of
the decree, forgetting that such signatures, even
although he could obtain the signatures of all, must
be without force, inasmuch as none but a Parliament
solemnly assembled can repeal the acts of a Parlia-
ment. The Members of the Sicilian Parliament who
are at present in es;le in London and Paris have
published the following protest against these attempts
to surreptitiously set aside the decree of deposition :
PROTEST OF THE SICILIAN DEPUTIES AND

REFUGEES.

" The Neapolitan Government having by threats of
imprisonment and of exile, endeavoured to obtain
from divers members of the Chamber of Peers, and of
that of Commons of Sicily an individual act of repeal
of the decree of the 13th April, 1848, of the General
Parliament, by which is declared the forfeiture of the
Sicilian throne by Ferdinand of Bourbon and all his
dynasty ;

"Which decree was voted spontaneously, freely, and
unanimously by the two Chambers ;
" Which also obtained the explicit adhesion of all
the Communes of the island in particular, and of the
people in general;
" Which decree is founded on the imprescript•
able rights of the people, and not alone on the
written right of the Constitution of 1812, to be
found in the chapter relating to the succession to the
throne ;

" The undersigned repreFentatives of the Sicilian
people, the only Sicilian representatives at present
actually residing in France and in England protest
before God and before all civilized nations
against this new act of illegality ; they protest
against every species of violence which their colleagues
in Sicily may be called upon to suffer; they protest
against any force or value which the Government of
Naples may attempt to give to an act which is abso-
lutely null and incapable of producing any effect
whatsoever, and they are persuaded that their col-
leagues of the emigration wiil do the like whensoever
they shall receive intelligence of this additional act of
perfidy and tyranny.

Steam ship Caledonia, which left Boston on the .sth:
and Halifax on the 7th inst., has just arrived in the
Mersey with the usual weekly mails from the
western world, and a fair complement of passengers.
She reports the arrival at New York of the Canada.
The Europa, 'which left this port on the 24th of
November, had called at Halifax previous to the
C.dedonir. arriving there.

The principal item of intelligence is the meeting of
Congress on the 3.i inst., at Washington. Tly., Senate
was organised, after which an adjournment took place.
The House of Representatives met on the same
day, when a ballot took place for the Speaker hip
For this post there appeared Mr. Winthrop on the
Whig, and Mr. Cobbe on the Locofoco interest.
After three unsuccessful ballotings, the numbers stood
—for Winthrop, 96 ; Cobbe, 102 ; Scattering 23. In
consequence of no decision on this point, the House
could not be organized, and the President did not
therefore deliver his Message.
There is nothing new of interest in our advices
from California or Canada.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The .alea of C 'Qom at Liverpool yesterday were about
5 9ao Elk?. irwluding 4,t,00 American, 200 Pernam and
Kiranham at 6jJ. to qd., 100 Bahia at 6 1. to 64d.,
100 E:yptian at 7P. to 8101, and 200 Surat at 4id. to
4!;c1 prr —Reilway Shares were dint.
The out!ine of the American news per telegraph will
be found in another column of The Sun, and we have no
further information here. Tho letters wiil be delivered
to-morrow morning.
The continental advlces received this morning furnish
nothing beyond the quotations. At Frankfort on the
14th inst. Austrian Bonds were 85k, and at Vienna on
the 13:h the Metallics were 94, with the Exchange on
London at 11.15. Tho Berlin quotation of the Three-
and-a-Half per Cent. Prussian Bonds was 88 on the 15th
inst. At Amsterdam on Sunday a good deal of business
was done in Mexican Bonds, and at marked improve-
ment in Fleas, but not much in other securities.
It may be interesting to parties who hold Mexican
Bonds to state what is likely to come forward at Thurs-
day's meeting, independently of Mr. W. P. Robertson
or the committee, reither of whom have been consulted
in the r.„-Itter, Lnd for obvious reasons. Resolutions will
be proposed, and we understand that they will
be adveriised to-morrow morning, for the appointment
of a new committee of bondholders, which shall
alone take cognizance of the Mexican debt. It
is felt that as the foreign debt of the Republic
amounts to ten millions sterling, it must be worth the
while of the rarties interested to form an association that
will devote its attention exclusively and diligeitly
thereto, establish an open office where all can obtain
reasonable information, with a paid clerk or secretary
constantly in attendance, act freely with the special
Envoy of the Mexican Government, Colonel Facio, and
possibly secure the cc-operation of some member of a
highly influential firm. This will require but a small
fund, and there should be no difficulty in getting it.
The English Funds opened higher this morning,
Consols being 96k, but the paucity of business caused
them to rule flatter subsequently, and they have since
been 961 The French mail brings a slight advance.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
98i to 984, and the Three per Cents. 94 to 961.
Bank Stock is firm at 203. Exchequer-bills have been
51e. to 545., and India Bonds 86s. to 88s. premium.
In the Foreign Market there is not so much activity.
Spanish Five per Cents. are 191 and the Three per
Cents. 384. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 361,
and Brazilian Small Bonds 88. Venezuela stock has been
at 29, and Peruvian at 541. Mexican, after touching
30,1 have receded to 30* I. Danish Five per Cents.
have been quoted 981, and Dntch Four per Cents. 841
to 85.

Railway Shares have been without any particular
movement. Caledonian have improved a little, Eastern
Counties have declined, Great Western are much the
same, and also North-Western. Midland have been
very heavy again. South-Eastern and Brighton are
held for fuller rates, and the York lines are dull, but
not lower. South-Western are barely so good. In the
foreign market, Boulogne and Amiens have take i a
taken a sudden start, being up to 7i
