MR. COBDEN AND THE CURRENCY.—The North
of Scotland Uazet'e contains a letter from Mr. Davidson,
of Aberdeen, to Mr. Cobden, on the question of cur-
rency, with Mr. Ccbden's reply. Mr. Davidson says:—
" Sir Robert is still swayed by his false financial theory.
It is high time that the currency question should now
be taken up in the same resolute spirit as that of the
corn-laws, and that it should be urged on Parliament in
the same powerful and persevering way. Now that re-
strictions on corn have been removed, why should they
remain on currency ? Free-trade surely means trade
free, not in one branch only, but in every branch." The
following is Mr. Cobden's reply ;—" Manchester, Octo-
ber 26, 1847.—Dear Sir.—l feel much obliged by your
very friendly letter. So many persons who take an in-
terest in the currency question are calling my attention
to it, that I feel it quite impossible to enter upon the
discussion of the subject in a private correspondence. It
will give me pleasure to find, when I have occasion to
:late my views publicly, that they are in accordance
with thosa which you entertain. I remain, dear sir,
faithfully yours—Richard Cobden.—Mr. Davidson."
