FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2l, 1851.

We shall now closely watch the speeches and votes
on the present occasion, and we trust every consti-
tuency will take due notice of the conduct of its
representatives, to see what claim they may have to a
renewal of coafidence at the general election that
must-speedily fake place, if the Ministry continue to
sanction the vagaries of their incomprehensible
coadjutor, and if Sir CHARLES WOOD is still to pre-
side over the financial destinies of the nation.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Committee on the Municipal Organization
Bill is composed of 17 against and 13 in favour of the
measure. The great bone of contention is the ap-
pointment of mayors ; the Government wish to have
the right of appointing
all the mayors, which would
throw an immense power into the hands of the Exe-
cutive, and enable it to exercise great influence over
the elections. ".the Republicans and Legitimatists
wish to have the mayors elected by the mu-
nicipalities.
General LEYASSEUR, a devoted Bonapartist, has
been appointed to the command recently held by
General JULLIEN.
Differences have arisen between the PRESIDENT
and the Ministry. The PRESIDENT wishes a
wholesale dismissal of prefects of departments, and
the appointment of devoted Imperialists in the place
of those dismissed. Among those whom the PRESI-
DENT wishes to see appointed is the notorious ROMIEU,
the author of the "Era of the Coeiqrs." M. WAISSE,
the Minister of the Interior, is oppo'ed to these pro-
ceedings, and refuses to countersign the necessary
documents to carry them into effect.
The PRESIDENT is desirous of having a similar
sweep out of the whole diplomatic body, but M.
BERNIER, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, equally
refuses to sanction it.
The motion of CRETON for the repeal of the
laws banishing the Bourbons has been postponed
until May.
The ilioniteur publishes the following notice from
the Minister of Foreign Affairs relative to the attempt
made by some foreign agents to enlist colonists or
soldiers in France for Monte Video:—
"The enrolment of workmen or agricultural colonists made
.by the agents or representatives of the Monte-Videan Go-
vernment are disapproved of by the French Government,
which will oppose them by all the means in its power.
These enrolments would expose the contracting parties to
disappointments of all kinds if they should succeed in eluding
the intentions of the Government."
The Paine has the following on tha affairs of the
Eas'

"The Augsburg Gazette publishes a statement to the effect
, that the Sublime Porte had declared an ultimatum to the
Pacha of Egypt, and that Abbas Pacha bad refused to accede
to it. We must observe that our correspondence from Cun-
stantinople, dated the sth February, does not make any
mention of such a fact,
ry one who knows the real state of
which besides singularly loses its
gravity in the eyes of eve
things. In fact, after the war of Egypt in 1840, by a con-
vention signed at London on the 15th of July of that year,
the question of right between Turkey aed Egypt was per-
fectly regulated. It was decided on the one part that the
sultan should accord to the direct descendants of Mehemet
Ali the administration of the Pachalic of Egypt, but that on
the other hand all the laws of the Ottoman empire should be
in vigour in that province. This convention was ratified by
the great Powers. The Porte, having constantly fulfilled its
engagements towards the Pacha, has the right to require that
Egypt shall be governed by the same laws as the other pro-
vinces of the empire. If the empire be in progress, Egypt
must be so also. If she refuse, she incurs a grave responsi-
bility, not only to the central overnment, but to the Powers
which signed the convention of July 15, 1840."

constitutional principle is that every man
should contribute to the liquidation of the na-
tional liabilities secundum stutum et facultates.
Let some attempt at least be made to bring this
equitable doctrine into practical operation. It may
not be possible to obtain a perfect measure at once ;
but let there be at least some effort towards an ap-
proximation thereto. Sir CHARLES WOOD has un-
fortunately given so many proofs of the obliquity of
his mental vision that he can no longer be continued
in a situation for which he has shown himself to be
perfectly disqualified. The man who can perceive no
difference between the precarious profits ob
tained by intense mental or bodily toil,
and the steady and certain dividends from
the Three per Cents., or well- secured ground rents—
which can never fail from lassitude, exhaustion, or
disease, as the human machine may do—is indeed
placed beyond the pale of redemption. There is no
hope that can be indulged in as to future amendment;
and, therefore, he must be thrown overboard with the
nefarious system he is endeavouring to perpetuate.
One suggestion has been made as to the motives
by which-he must be influenced, that certainly has a
vraisemblance, a verisimilitude about it, which may in
some degree explain the mystery. Ile may be fatigued
with official cares, and anxious to return into a pri-
vate station, for which he is best qualified. If it
were otherwise, why should he endeavour to continue
the mode of assessment against which the community
so clearly testified three years since ? Why should he,
while acknowledging the injustice and impropriety
of the window-tax, seek to continue it, in
its present obnoxious form, to two-thirds of
the amount now levied ? Why should he
continue the enormous loss of life and treasure
occasioned by the African squadron, and at the same
time hold out a bonus to the slave-owners to continue
their nefarious traffic in human flesh and blood, by
equalising the duties on foreign and colonial coffees,
striking 50 per cent. off the one, and only 25 per
cent. off the other? Does he suppose that we regard
the horrors of the middle passage with so much in-
difference, or that, like overgrown children,
we are so much amused with the long steam
chases of our cruizers after these float-
ing hells—the slave ships—that he must
stimulate the trade, or is he afraid lest the gallant
sailors in the squadron may become wearied for want
of excitement, and therefore seek to provide quarries
for them to pursue, that they may be at least kept fully
occupied in their unfortunate position ? Why has he
selected the, timber duties for experimenting on,
when, if our recollection be correct, he last year, de-
precated any alteration therein, and declared it to be
one of the last matters to be meddled with, or
why does he seek to propitiate the agricultural
interest by the magnificent remission of 30,0001. for
the tax on clover and grass seeds ? He must de-
sire to show the people the contemptuous disregard
he entertains for their desires and wishes, or else he
must have been actuated by some such morbid desire
for notoriety as that by which the incendiaries who set
fire to the temple of Diana at Ephesus, or to York
Minster in modern times, were influenced, or he
would never have ventured to bring forward such
crude and ridiculous propositions in the British
House of Commons.
We shall now look forward without anxiety to the
result. It is impossible that the income-tax can be
renewed in its present form. Let it be placed
on an equitable basis, and we shall not
only render a willing assent to its continuance, but
even to a considerable increase, provided we receive
a fair equivalent in the reduction or abolition of
other more obnoxious imposts. The country is not
unfavourable to the principle of direct taxation ; on
the contrary, we believe it would rejoice to see fur-
ther progress in the path on which PEEL entered with
SO much success. Sir CHARLES WOOD willfully de-
ceived himself when he asserted that the protests
which were offered in 1848 against the unfair mode
of levying the imposts, of charging as high a per-
centage under Schedules D and E:as under A, B, and
C, were directed against the increase of the
charge. We told him so at the timee, but
he obstinately refused to listen to any argu-
ments directed against, " the conclusion at which
he had arrived." He is now repeating his former
experiment, and he cannot be surprised that the re
suit should be similar.

'To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
Beasts, in, for the most part, middling condition. As the
attendance of buyers was limited, the Baef trade ruled ex-
ceedingly inactive, at prices barely equal to those obtained
on Monday last. The extreme figure for the best Scots was
3s 8d per 81bs. The number of Sheep was comparatively
small, but fully adequate to the demand. In the quotations,
however, we have no actual decline to report. Lambs were
very dull, at from 5s 4d to as 10d per 81bs, being easier
rates. We bad a very slow inquiry for Calves, at last week's
currency. In Pigs, next to nothing was doing. Milch
Cows were heavy, at from 141 to IF/ each, including their
small calf.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
c/TY. TITO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on spe-
culation. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 60) Egyp-
tian at 71.4 d. to 9%d., 500 Surat at 5:1. to s=ld., and 30 Sea
Island at ls. 11/Id. to la. 31. per 15.—Railway Shares were
active, and prices were. advancing.
The Colonial Markets have been rather unsettled this
week, and Coffee has been more fluctuating than any other
article. Sugar has been tolerably steady. In Spirits there
has net been much doing. Cotton has been neglected.
TaHow is much the same, and Tea in moderate request.
There are no later ship arrivals, except from the United
States, and the reports from the Continental Stock Markets
are satisfactory generally. At Amsterdam on the 19th inst.
Dutch Stock was rather improving, the Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. being 59 9-16. Spanish much the same.
The fact that the Bank of England did not yesterday
alter the rate of discount has somewhat re-assured those
who were apprehensive of more stringent measures, but it
seems proper to express_an opinion, which we entertain in
common with a few others, that it will greatly depend upon
the circumstances that may occur during the next few days
whether an advance is made. On the one hand the demand
for silver to be shipped to India and China has

increased, ard even geld to the amount of 100,0001.
has been sent to Alexandria. There is also a greater inquiry
for silver to be forwarded to Holland, but in exchange for
this we obtain gold. As a set-off we may notice also the
continued arrivals of specie and bullion from America, and
the confident expectation that a good deal more is coming,
while the price of bills upon Paris, &c., has been rather ad-
vancing. The prospect, too, of an influx of the precious
metals when the visitors begin to arrive for the Exhibition
will not be lost sight of in a consideration of the future
course of aetion, and unless the amount of paper
offered for discount at the Bank of England increases
the directors may decide upon waiting a while ere they
charge more. The rate out of doors was full 3to 34 per
cent. up to yesterday, and is now barely 3, with more money
offering. Ere the transfer-books for stock close, there will be
an opportunity of seeing whether an advance in the rate for
temporary loan's upon Exchequer 'bills, &c., is desirable, and it
is important to bear in mind that Government has adver-
tised to renew the unfunded debt at lid. per diem, which it
would experience some difficulty in doing if the Bank of
England made money at the precise time of its renewal, even
% per cent. dearer.

The English Stock market is exceedingly dull, and the
defeat of Ministers last night, with the presumption that
they must modify the Budget or resign, hinders business.
Consols have been 961 s 4, and are now 964 N. The
New Three-and•a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 98%
3/4, and the Three per Cents. 96%. Bank Stock is sup-
ported at 2154. Exchequer-bills are 475. to 515., and India
Bonds 60s. primium.

Foreign Stocks are at about the previous currency, though
dull. Spanish Five per Cent's. have been 193% 76, and the
Three per Cents. 3734 to 38. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been at 7914 to 3/4. Mexican are 321/8
Shares are quieter and rather in favour of buyers.

MARKET

CORN EXCHAN GE-FRIDAY.
Up to our market this week, coastwise, the arrivals of
English Wheat have amounted to 2,040 quarters, chiefly-from
Essex and Kent, and in improved condition. By land car-
riage and sample the supply fresh up to-day was small;
nevertheless, owing to the immense quantity of foreign Flour
reported-7,580 sacks and barrels—the demand for all de-
scriptions was dull in the extreme, at almost nominal quo-
tations, and a total clearance was not effected. From abroad
2,120 quarters of foreign Wheat have come fresh to hand.
Selected qualities were dull, but mostly held at fully late
rates. In the low and middling qualities scarcely any sales
were reported, and they were considered the turn lower.
The show of Barley was principally composed of Monday's
unsold samples. Even the finest malting qualities were very
dull, and prices of all kinds were with difficulty supported.
Malt, the supply of which was moderate, sold slowly, yet the
quotations may be considered steady. We were tolerably well,
but not to say heavily supplied with -Oats, which moved off
slowly, at the late decline. Indian Corn, Beans, and Peas
very dull. Low qualities of Flour were offering at is per
2801bs less money.
