POLITICAL 'SUMMARY OF THE

MORNING PAPERS.

We arz again compelled, from want of space, to confine
ourselves to a brief summary of the leading articles in the
Morning Journals of this day. The Times, in comment-
ing on some recent remarks in the Journal des Debats on
the subject of the Queen's Speech, justly observes :
" The desire is, we may say, universal in this country
that France should be no longer separated from England
and from the rest of Christendom; that the former sym-
pathies between the only two free nations in Europe should
be restored ; and that France should re-enter, upon honour-
able terms, the great political confederacy." The Morning
Chronicle remarks, with reference to the approaching trial of
the Earl of Cardigan :—" It is rumoured that the Noble Earl
means to plead benefit of clergy. It is not generally un-
derstood that Peers are entitled to the distinction, by
statute, of being allowed to plead benefit of clergy. But
it is understcod that, by the canon law, a clerk is in cer-
tain cases incapacitated from claiming the benefit of clergy,
and as a Peer is in the same predicament, it is expected
that same curious and somewhat delicate inquiries will
become necessary should his Lordship be advised to urge
the plea." The Morhing Advertiser remarks as follows
on Mr. Labouchere's Bill for the better regulation of
Railways:—" It is one which, if we mistake not, will be
sure to command the unanimous approbation of Parliament
and the public, and will be: eckoned among those measures
of practical good which, removed from the sphere of party
politics, perhaps confer upon the nation the greatest and
most lasting benefits." The Morning Post, speaking of
the late elections, says—" The Ballot has by no means the
merit of being a certain cure for the evils of bribery and
intimidation, but even if it had this merit, we might well
shrink from the adoption of a plan tending to degrade and
falsify the exercise of political privileges." The Morning
Herald, says of Lord Nlorpeth's speech in the House of
Commons last night, that "it was, as compared with the
note of preparation which bad been sounded for it, one of
the most lackadaisical efforts which was every exhibited
before a wearied audience."

MONEY MARK ET and CITY NEWS

(THURSDAY EVENING.)
TI M E S.—By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 4221 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 10id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 13. 3, and the course of exchange at Ham-
burgh on London at short being 13. 44, it follows that gold
is .21 per cent. lower at Hamburgh than in London.
The premium on gold at Paris is 5 per mille, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 27k, aad the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25. 30, it follows
that gold is .10 per cent. lower at Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London is
1081 per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is .82 per cent. against England ; but the quoted
exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight,
the discount on these 60 days must be deducted from the
aforesaid difference.

SUN.—There was a heavy market all day for public
securities; and a disposition to sell. Money has become
decidedly tighter in the City, and especially in the Stoek
Exchange, where, a short time back, it was worth so
little. There are fears now that the large supplies of
money that will be required by the French Government
to carry out the construction of the fortifications, must
be partly drawn from this country, or at any rate, by
absorbing large amounts of capital in France, will have
a tendency to influence unfavourably the Foreign Ex-
changes. These causes led to a reduction in Consols
from 891 to 89, the latest bargains being at 89} for
Money ; and from 89i to 894-, closing at 891 buyers
for Account ; Exchequer Bills were worth 3s. to ss.
premium ; and India Bonds 6s. to 14s. discount; Bank
Stock was lower, viz., 164 to 1641 ; the Reduced
Three per Cents. ranged from 89i to 891.
There was a heavy market still for the fo reign secu-
rities. Spanish Active Bonds were at •24 r,l: to 241 ;
Portuguese New Five per Cents. at 32 ; Brazilian at
; Mexican at 271, and Dutch Two-arad-a-Half per
Cents. at 50.

The Railway Shares receded a little. Great Wes-
tern were as last marked, 25-,1,-„ London aad Birming-
ham 85, York and North Midland 25 premium;
Brighton were 7, and the South Eastern. azal Dover
Shares 15 discount ; Provincial Bank of Ireland New
Shares were at 7 premium.
The accounts received from Liverpool fhis afternoon
furnish no further information respecting the accounts
by the Cambridge packet from New York..
