there be any hesitation or uncertainty as to the
reply? Is it not obvious, that with a few stray and
eccentric exceptions (like that of the nobleman
christened by O'CONNELL " Hurdigurdy," or like
the brilliant Member for Buckinghamshire, whom
Punch seems to regard as the eloquent antithesis of
1-IAmrDEN), the talent of the Conservatives is almost
concentrated among the Peelites. Even at the latest
moment the more sensible of the supporters of Sir Ro-
BERT have acknowledged their former errors of judg-
ment, and have come over to the side of Reform
and Liberality as boldly as Mr. MONCKTON MILNES.
There is no doubt that the courage evinced by the
ex-Premier has materially emboldened the more
timorous among the converts to the popular doc- '
trines, and there is no doubt, on the other hand, that
the audacity of such adventurous spirits as Lord
GEORGE BENTINCK has confirmed the obstinacy and
deepened the obtuseness of his Protectionist brethren.
Altogether, from these considerations we are satisfied
that as the wiser members of the Conservative party
have been guided to free trade by argument, so the
more frivolous can only be convinced of their obsti-

In our observations yesterday on the Report of the
Select Committee on our Commercial Relations with
China, we stated the great falling off of our trade
with that country, the ruinous losses suffered by our
merchants on their dealings, and that these untoward
results were not owing to any want of demand for
our manufactures, or from the increasing competition
of other nations. England, in fact, at this moment
enjoys no less than four-fifths of what may be termed
the legitimate trade ; the whole of the imports into
CAN; r+ a (..,..sloLoi. o of opium) am nun tin g in value to
20,390,734 dollars, of which 16,073,682 dollars was
the value imported in British vessels, 2,909,669
dollars in American, and 1,413,433 dollars only in
the shipping of all other countries. In ad-
dition to this, the enormous sum of twenty-
three millions of dollars were estimated for the
opium imported from British India on English
or American account. The entire of this vast amount,
exceeding 9,400,0001. sterling, has to be provided for
at present by tea, silk, and silver—a hope is, how-
ever, expressed that sugar and China grass (as a
substitute for hemp) may at a future period form
important elements in the calculation.
From the peculiar nature of the traffic in opium,
it being to a certain extent unrecognised, and, there-
fore, a prompt settlement of all accounts respecting
it being rendered absolutely necessary, the whole
available silver is absorbed thereby, and consequently
the legitimate traffic depends on our taking
tea and silk in payment for our goods.
Silk is at present moderately and fairly taxed in this
country, and, almost as a natural consequence, the
trade is steadily improving, the exportation thereof
from China to England, in the year 1846, having
amounted in value to more than 1,200,0001. It is,
however, an article of mere luxury, and we cannot
hope that a rapid increase of consumption will enable
us to extend our transactions therein to an extent
sufficient to counteract the influences we have already
alluded to. To an increased consumption of tea,
therefore, and to that alone, can we look for the
means, not merely of extending, but even of main-
taining a profitable trade with China, and every con-
sideration urges us to adopt such measures as may
tend to that result. It is scarcely necessary
to dwell upon the reasons that render a general use
of tea in this country in the highest degree desirable :
it would provide the best remedy for the degrading
vice of intoxication that is unfortunately too preva-
lent ; it would lead the hard-working artisan or
labourer to spend his evenings in the bosom of his
family in place of in the public-house or beer-shop;
it would make him enjoy his home, where, with his
wife and children, he might quaff the cup " that
cheers but not inebriates," and thus increase the
social and domestic happiness of the people in general;
and, by interposing a guard against the demoralization
and temptations to which a poor man is exposed while
parta.lslog abroad of unwbulesorno uud lotoxicatmg
drinks, would materially lessen the amount of crime,
and diminish the national expenditure in its most
objectionable form—viz., police, prisons, penal
settlements, &c. These reasons alone should be
sufficient to induce our Legislature to spare no exer-
tions to attain so desirable an object. The Committee
iustly state that it can only be effected by a consider-
able reduction of the present rate of duty, which, on

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very
fire]. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 500 were American
on speculation, and included 3,800 American at 611. to
lid. ; 400 Peruvian, at 74e1. to eicl. ; 200 Egyptian, at
*I. to 91d. ; 400 Surat, at 41d. to 51d. ; and 100 Sea
Island, at 14d. to 15d. per lb. There was some im-
provement in Railway Shares, and a large business was
expected to be done, but that the money market con-
tinued so extremely tight. North-Western and Midland
were in good demand.
An evidently interested party, who writes from 'Ha-
lifax, end is displeased that we do not incur the risk of
publishing the names of firms in difficulties the moment
such are spoken of, is mistaken if he fancies we shall
gratify any such morbid curiosity. At best it is a pain-
ful duty to notice such matters in any shape, and we
are not disposed to chronicle stoppages until confirmed
on 'Change. It is quite sufficient for us to advise our
readers at first as to thegeneral fact,leaving the rest for sub-
sequent substantiation, and affording the opportunity to
any firm in difficulties to receive assistance, and make pri-
vate arrangem, lats. Indeed, there are many men of
business in the City, with whom we have conversed,
and who decidedly protest against this " gibbetting " at
all, and as we usually receive the salutary caution from
those who favour us with information, not to give
names until fully ascertained that the house cannot go
on, we shall endeavour, as heretofore, to merit the
confidence reposed in us. An instance, in point,
occurred but a week since in the corn trade.
A house was reported to have stopped, and
we noticed the circumstance on the same morning, with-
out giving names, a precaution which we had reason
to congratulate ourselves upon, as the rumour was
subsequently contradicted on authority, and the house,
by assistance rendered, was enabled to go on, though
events have again brought it to a stand.

porary through a similar occurrence, and although the
Ol'Change, involved the journal

is the proof of what com-
mon rumour may assert. If there were any
object to be gained by precipitate publication, some in-
ducement might exist, but there is literally none. The
firm to which we alluded yesterday as having suspended
at Antwerp, is that of Messrs. Frazer and Co., and the
liabilities are said to be 60,0001 or 70,0001. Another
word en passant for the Halifax speculator, who wishes
us to take the glocmiest view of matters. A fortnight
since " excellent paper" was discounted, as then as-
serted, under this head, at 51 and 6 per cent.,
and we saw it done. At this present time
6 to 6- is about the charge for first class
bills, and of course higher for other descriptions, from
which we presume our Halifax complainant takes his
average as to the value of money. We feel that we have
devoted too much space to the notice of these subjects,
to which, however, we shall not again recur.
The wool sales, which will continue until about the
end of the month, are progressing much better than
might be anticipated, taking into consideration both the
tightness of the money market, and the quantity put up.
It may be hoped that the " fall" trade with America,
which promised to be extensive, although it is difficult
to say whether the heavy corn failures, expected in New
York, may not somewhat mar the prospect, will keep
our manufacturing interest in tolerable activity, though
the high price of cotton sadly interferes with the profits.
The expectation seems to be that not only the next but
also succeeding steamers will take out bullion.
The English stock market has been very quiet,
but further money sales have depressed prices, and
thrown some gloom over it, because, according to the
reports in circulation, the sales are making for the Bank
of England. Consols have chopped from 87k to 864 for
present transfer, and from 87k to 86,13- for account. The
New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents, are 89k to 884 e
India Stock, for account, has been at 239. The Reduced
Three per Cents, have realised 871- to 87k.
In the Foreign Market there is no activity. Spanish
Five per Cent. Stock has realised 203-, and Portuguese
Four per Cent. 27. Mexican Bonds have improved to
18,3. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 56 to 564.
Railway Shares have been without any general and
marked variation, and the settlement of the account has
occupied chief attention. Many lines are now quoted
ex-dividend.
