character. Determined not to swerve—either tacitly
by their quiescense, or virtually by an actual with-
drawal from their party—from those principles
which so materially affect their pockets, they convene
meetings, devour dinners, and utter commonplaces
with the assiduity of men resolved to attain an object,
but at the same time resolved to do so
comfortably. Within the past week this po-
litical epidemic has been extending with more or
less violence through some six or seven counties,
arousing in one place the bile of dread, and in others
the spleen of disappointment. The most remarkable
display, however, which has recently heen made in
this respect was the meeting held at Cambridge, on
Saturday last, and attended by somewhere about six
hundred individuals. As a fitting introduction to the
business of the day, a letter from the Earl of
HARDWICKE was read by the Chairman, to
the infinite satisfaction of his auditors, the
letter being summed up in that interminable
non sequitur of the landed interest—" Should I
conceive any proposition made by the Minister in-
jurious to the agriculturist, and consequently to the
community at large, it will receive my strenuous
opposition." Assumptions or absolute asseverations
like this arc nothing less than empty clap-traps
begging the question, rather than submitting it to the
tests of argument. But the quintessence of self-
sufficiency in this assemblage was condensed into an
harangue uttered by the Hon. E. T. YORKE,
M.P.—an harangue fraught with unwieldy at-
tempts at smartness and sage-mouthed declama-
tions of the strangest inanity. Among other instances
of thii nature, Mr. YORKE asserts the object of the
Anti-Corn-law League to be " free trade in corn,
and monopoly for themselves." A stern, prominent,
and naked declaration, ungarnished even by a syl-
lable of sophistry—a solitary and individualised
assurance, based solely upon the opinions of the
speaker. Yet were the barrenness and dogmatism of
this aspersion greeted with acclamations, a result
which elicited still evidences of the self-opinionated
disposition and oratorical terseness of Mr. E. T.
Yoaxe. After stigmatising Lord Join; RUSSELL
for having written himself into the ranks of the
League, he continues :
" Lord John Russell was called upon to form an
Administration, but failed, though he took fourteen
days to deliberate, and Sir Robert Peel and his col-
leagues—with the exception of Lord Stanley—now
ruled the destinies of the nation. He did not like to
use harsh words (considerate Mr. Yorke !), but he could
not help saying that he considered the whole affair as a
political farce!"

Such a miserable absence of all perceptive power
on the part of a Member of Parliament in addressing
his constituency has very rarely been witnessed. What
the Edinburgh Review particularises as one of
the noblest characteristics in the behaviour of the
late Earl Garr—namely, a refusal to take office,
when to do so it was necessary to " abandon a friend
or desert a principle"—what every right-thinking
man must esteem as about the noblest magnanimity
of statesmanship, is christened by the lion. E. T.
YORKE as—what ?—" a political farce!" And then,
by an unconscionable effort at jocoseness, " he trusted
that it would not be tragic in its effect !" So
much emptiness, so much assurance, such lack
of discrimination, and such lack of delicacy,
is unworthy of the advocate of a class so
numerous as the agriculturists. Nevertheless,
these rhetorical deflciencie% are only commensurate
with those few and diminutive arguments by which
the agricultural monopolists endeavour to prop up a
sinking and worthless cause. Whatever logical capa-
cities may exist among its advocates are eclipsed by
an over quantity of obtuseness; still, this peculiarity
is inevitable even with the healthiest matter. Nulla
magna injuria sine mixtura dimentim. Thus, more
especially amidst the debris of a question now almost
annihilated, may be discovered instances of folly and
insufficiency as incessant as they are worthless.
With respect to the Member for Cambridgeshire, his
mind appears to be pinned down exclusively to this
narrow and pernicious principle—his deductions are
as rash as they are flimsy—and notwithstanding the
strangeness of his jolting and epigrammatic style,
he stands forward the representative of a genus.
With all earnestness of heart we can but hope for
their speedy political extinction.

We have received Madrid journals of the 4th.
The debate on the Address in the Chamber of De-
puties commenced on the 3d, when Senor SEIJAS
moved an amendment, the object of which was to
compel the Government to adopt a more constitutional
system, and take active measures for bettering the
condition of the people. The debate was adjourned,
and resumed on Monday the sth, and according to a
telegraphic dispatch received at Paris on Saturday,
the amendment was rejected by a large majority, only
32 Members having voted for it. The Gazette con-
tains a royal ordonnance, announcing that the
QUEEN had accepted the resignation of General
MANSO, Governor-General of Arragon.

On the 3d the Three per Cents closed at 35i for
60 days.

The topic of most interest in the Paris papers is
the debate in the Chamber of Peers on the
Address. On Friday the discussion which, as
we have stated, commenced on the previous
day, was resumed. The only incident of interest
during the day was the re-appearance of
M. VlLLzmaiN in the tribune. The Noble Peer de-
livered at some length his opinion on the ordonnances
respecting the University, of which he disapproved.
Baron COUSIN also opposed them, and after a speech
from the Minister of Public Instruction in their de-
fence, the debate was adjourned. The chief speaker on
Saturday was Baron CHARLES DUPIN, so well known
for his useful publications on public works in Eng-
land. His speech, though opposed to some parts of
the Address, was calm and moderate. He admitted
that the situation of the country was satisfactory, the
Ministry secure and supported by a considerable ma-
jority, the country calm, and the foreign relations
established on an amicable footing ; but still he ob-
jected to that paragraph in the Address which stated
that the Committee were happy to hear from his
MAJESTY that the state of the finances was becom-
ing every day more prosperous. He then adverted
to the Budget presented by the Finance Minister
and contended that the security announced in th;
Address was not well founded, for the Minister him-
self admitted that the deficit was yearly increasing.
It resulted, he said, from the returns submitted to the
Chambers that the deficit, which in 1844 was
371,000,000 f., had risen in 1845 to 396,000,000 f.,
and in 1846 to 421,000,000 f. This, he knew, was not
alarming, but nevertheless called for a speedy re-
medy. He then referred to the financial position of
England, and observed that a Ministry so partial to
that country should also take it for a model. In 1816,
after the war, the budget of England he said,
amounted to 2,150,000,000 f. ; eight years afterwards
in 1824, it was reduced to 1,425,000,000 E; and in
1844, it had still further decreased to 1,375,000,000 f.
The debt of England had also considerably
diminished, whilst that of 'France increased in
a frightful proportion. The speaker, in conclusion,
drew a parallel, entirely to the advantage of England,
of the achievements of both Governments, and de-
scribed the extension assumed of late by the power
of Great Britain in every part of the globe, extolled
the admirable expedition executed by the British arms
along the Chinese coast, showed the dominions of
England daily extending, at the same time that her
expenditure diminished, and asked the Ministry if
they could boast of similar results, even to justify
the increase of the public burdens ? The Marquis
DE BOISSEY, after the general discussion was closed,
made a speech, in which he recommend..ed the resto-
ration of the hereditary peerage.
At the hour of
post the Count DE MONTALEMBF T was speaking on
the suffering condition of -
4.ne Christian population
in Syria. We find no
Additional intelligence in the

They are very conciliatory, and show that a new
system of government has been adopted. They are
as follows :

" Inhabitants of the Society Islands, the King of the
French, wishing to give an example of the respect due
to treaties, has agreed to the petition addressed to him
by Queen Pomare, and has decided that the protectorate
of France shall be henceforward established isa the
archipelago of the Society Isles. In execution of orders
to this effect, the French flag, symbol of the exterior so-
vereignty which we exercise, is to continue to fl oat
alone at all the military posts and all the defen:iive
points of the island. The flag of the protectorate, :that

blishments. Inhabitants of the Society Islands, if France
in according you her protection, assures you without
restriction all the advantages which you can reap in re-
posing under the shadow of her colours, henceforward
she is entitled to expect from you a loyal and sincere
friendship, in return for the benefits which she gua-
rantees to you. You will perceive that it is necessary
to your interest that the strictest union should subsist
between you and the military forces which France
keeps up in those islands ; you -Will see that the presence
of these forces is not only a right resulting from the pro-
tectorate, but an obligation which it imposes on France;
you will observe, in fine, that your concurrence ought to
be for ever given to the protecting Government, to faci-
litate the means of providing for your general welfare,
the restoration of peace, and the entire accomplishment
of this solemn act of benevolent solicitude which the
King of the French testifies to you. The Governor, the
King's Commissioner, regrets exceedingly that Queen
Pommy, resisting all the offers which have been succes-
sively made by him and Admiral Hamelin, charged to
convey to her the friendly words of the King, has re-
fused to come and participate, by her presence, in the
re-establishment of the protectorate."
In addressing the soldiers and sailors the Governor
says :
. .

"In according her high protection to the inhabitants
of the Society Islands, France desires them to enjoy,
without restriction, the advantages which this protec-
tion ought to ensure to them. Henceforward it is a duty for
you to treat with utmost• the mildness, and to consider as
a new family, a population which France protects with
her flag, and I have no doubt that each of you is dis-
posed to concur, for his part, and according to his posi-
tion, in the accomplishment of this solemn act of the
royal benevolence."
We subjoin miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :

" M. C. Remusal has been elected a member of the
French Academy in the room of the late M. Roger-
Collard.

" When in 1840," says the Constitut;onnel, " the sum
of 140 millions of francs was demanded for the fortifica-
tions of Paris, the opposers of the measure maintained
that the sum would be insufficient. The expense was
estimated at the double, the triple, and some even said
that it would cost a milliard. The work may be con-
sidered as completed. and it is certain that the 140 mil-
lions
will not be exceeded. Nay, it was with this sum
that the expenses of the fort of Aubervilliers, nut com-
prised in the primitive plans, were defrnyod and in
addition, several millions have been used in barracks at
Vincennes, and repairs at the Val-de-Grace. It is just
to declare that the employment of the army has not been
without result, for not only were the soldiers paid less
than common workmen, but they prevented the general
price of labour from mounting too high."
" The Councils General of Agriculture, Manufactures,
and Commerce are advancing towards the end of their
session. The Council of Commerce, in a remarkable
report of M. Decos, has just pronounced in favour of the
admission of sheet iron for naval constructions, free of
duty. It has also declared in favour of the extension of
restrictive measures fur the labour of children, in ac-
cordance with the conclusions of a committee, of which
M. Schneider was the reporter. Amongst the subjects
brought before it, a modification of the present mode of
essaying the precious metals, and the substitution of a
Government jurisdiction in place of a contractor, under
forfeit for coining money, called forth a lengthened dis-
cussion and an approving vote. The delegate; of the
towns in which mints exist, have obtained a vote ad-
verse to the centralization of coining in Paris.
" A letter from Berlin announces that the Duke of
Bordeaux has notified to the great powers the marriage
of his sister with the hereditary Prince of Lucca.
" Accounts have been received from the Caucast to
the middle of December. The Kasikumiks, subject to
the Russians, had driven away a part of the moun-
taineers encamped at Magall Mukark; a razzia of
200,0001 b. weight of hay was effected on the Tochet-
schenes; the fortifications on the banks of the Sunpcha
were finished; Prince Woronzoff, in a voyage of inspec-
tion in Kakhetia, had received the submission of the
commune of Didoe; and during the inauguration of a
monument, in honour of General Guliakoff, deceased in
January, 1804, he distributed the Cross of St. George to
nineteen men of the Schwartz division. In short every-
thing was tranquil in Daghestan."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 6,000
bales, including 2,000 on speculation. The market was ♦ery
steady, and prices were firmly supported.
The statistics of almost every article on which the duty
has been lessened, contrast favourably where bearing upon
consumption, with the returns relative to articles which re-
tain the previous high impost. Undoubtedly if the revenue
would permit, ten, in justice to the Chinese nation, ought to
tie lightened of its enormous burden, though the first consi-
deration necessarily must be the better arrangement of the
food laws. If encouragement were needed to persevere in
duty reductions, the calculations of an experienced party in
the City, to which we take the first opportunity of returning
will surely afford it. They refer to sugar:—

The stock on band in the United Kingcom, on the 27th
December, we estimate at 35,000 tons (foreign free-labour
included), showing a deficiency of about 10,000 tons.
The advantages derived from the reduction in the duties
are now manifest. _ _ .

The importers have found their market of sale increased
by 25 per cent., and their outlay in cash for duties decreased
by 40 per cent.
The trade, grocers, refiners, and dealers have had an in-
crease of business of 25 per cent., and been enabled to con-
duct it with a smaller amount of capital and risk than here-
tofore; and the public have been supplied with sugar id. to
11/2d. per lb. cheaper than in former years, a saving in the
aggregate exceeding 2,000,0001. to the consumers.
There is rather a flat market for Stocks in the absence of
extensive sales or purchases, and the impression that
although the Government broker may be a daily taker of
the funded and unfunded debt, the railway companies
which bought in at a lower range will be sellers,
serves together with political contingencies, to re-
press any tendency to buoyancy. Consols have been
94% for Money, and are now 94%%. For time the latter
quotations have been current all the morning. On Ex-
chequer-bills the premium is 28s. to 30s. The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98 to 97%, and the Three
per Cents. 95% to 95,4. Bank Stock is worth 205 to 206,
being relatively better supported than the other securities.
Money is easy, and there seems to be n. parti,ular demand
for it.
The Foreign Bonds are a little brisker, but they do not im-
prove in value. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 28% to
283/, the Three per Cents. 39% to 38%, Spanish Deferred
171/s. It will be seen therefore that the Three per Cents.
have just given way 14 to 1 per cent. Mexican
Bonds have been quoted 30% to 303/ for the Five per Cents,
and 16% for the Deferred. Peruvian have been marked
413/4, Grenada 22, and Chilian 991,4. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents have realised 60%, and the Four per Cents
95 to 95.
or Railway Shares the demand is rather slack, and prices
rather " flag ' again. The desire to press sales, however, is
not very manifest.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DA-

CORN EXCHAN GE-MONDAY. (
The past week's arrivals of English Wheat for our 011kneg,
was somewhat on the increase, but, comparatively sPeali
of middling quality. Of Barley, the receipts were very 1arge,,,,.;
those of all other kinds of grain of home produce small. .rnf;
Scotland and Ireland very little grain of any descripion c:re
to hand ; but the imports of Foreign Corn and ) Ifur age
seasonably extensive. Fresh up, from Essex, fait .av by
quantity of Wheat came to hand coastwise, as well ea
pa
land carriage. Owing to the caution cvineuiA•
the part of the dealers, most of whom were short t
stock, the demand for all kinds of English

sales, the factors were compelled to give way in vales

minds. We have, therefore, to report a decline in the
of selected qualities of ls, and in that of other kinds of 2s lt
quarter, at which amount of depression very little prop'
was made in clearing the stands. The show of fine foretine
Wheat was small, nevertheless, the inquiry for that aru
was inactive and prices had a downward tendency, thougi_
not to the extent to warrant us in altering our clul
tions. Corn under lock ruled almost nominal in va
The supply of Barley being considerably more than
to the wants of the trade, the sale for that article Ws'',
excessively heavy, at an abatement in the curreueies
from 1 s to 2s per quarter, and a large portion remained unso;
at the close of the market. Although the receipts of 1511,
were good, the Malt trade may be cohsidered tolerably
steady, at previous quotations. Notwithstanding the arrival u.;
Oats from Ireland, as well as our own coasts, were small, Al:
the holders were generally firm from that circumstance, ill
Oat trade must be considered inactive at barely

quirt' at last week's currencies. Flour moved off heat/
but no Jeeline was submitted to by the millers.
