LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1851.

as a political cipher, a warming pan, a makeshift
Chancellor of the Exchequer, who only holds office
until his Peelite successor can be appointed. Finan-
cial Reformers need not therefore be discouraged
because he is nominally the Minister of Finance. But
if they urge their claims steadily and perseveringly,
and evince unequivocal determination not to be bam-
boozled, they will attain the success they deserve,
notwithstanding the nominal position of the Right
Hon. Baronet as Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Let all persons, then, who are assessed under Sche-
dules D and E be up and doing, and they will be as-
sisted by the friends of equity and fair play throughout
the length and breadth of the land ! If they act
properly, they will obtain some relief, which, although
it may not be to the full extent of that to which they
are entitled, will at least be an instalment of justice. Let
all those who object to the atrocious tax on light
and air now exhibit the activity and energy
which the exigency of the case requires, and protest
against the pretended boon, which would perpetuate
the gross inequalities—we had almost written
iniquities—of the present system, and shut
out the prospect of future relief; and, above all, let
those who do not think it advisable to maintain
taxes on industry, that paralyze the national
energies for the purpose of paying off at par
a debt, the consideration whereof was barely Gs. Bd.
in the pound, come forward and protest against the
reversal of the old Whig policy, and the deliberate
application of several millions per annum to the liqui-
dation of the national debt.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Committee on the Budget was appointed on
Thursday, it consists of twenty-seven Reactionaries,
one moderate Republican, and two members of the
Mountain.
The enormous amount of the unfunded debt,
600,000,000 francs, occasioned considerable uneasi-
ness. In several of the bureaux the Members urged
the immediate reduction of the army.
It is said that arra‘agements are in progress for
the appointment of a permanent Ministry, of which
MM. ODILON B A RROT, BAR4,CH H and ACHILLE
FOULD will be members. MM. GUIZOT end
DUCUATEL have joined M. BERRYER and the Legi-
tinaatists. M. TRIERS refuses to co-operate with
them, and now declares himself a supporter of the
Republic and the Constitution.

The Bourse, which was dull at the commencement of
bu,iness, became more animated at the close, and the
price of Government securities improved. The Five per
Cents. opened at 94f. 10c., and closed at 94f. 2504 the

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The gales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 5,C00 b Iles, all to the trade, at previous rates.—Railway
Share, were arm.

There was during the week to the Ist instant a decided in-
crease in the business of the Bank of England. The amount
of the discounts and loans increased considerably, and, the
Bullion foandivg rather higher, it is obvious that the extra
employment of money did not arise from a demand for
exportation, hut from internal business. Compared with the
previous week the results are as follows :

The rates paid yesterday afternoon for Foreign Bills of
Exchange were again favourable to this country.
A very useful table has been completed by Mr. John
Pocock, of the Bankers' Clearing House, fir ascertaining the
lapse of days from one period to another, and to men of bu-
siness it presents the opportunity of a great saving of time.
The exports of Bullion from London this week, to Thurs-
day, have been. 2,127 ez. of Gold and 116,320 oz. of Silver.

From Alauchester Ala are advised that a fair business
has been doing in Cotton Piece Goods, but at Leeds the
home demand for Woollens has been slacker this week. The
shipping houses are doing more.

The English Funds have been flatter, and the postpone-
ment of the Bridget is likely to depress the market again.
Consols have realized 96% % fur Transier, and 961/s % for
April. Exchequer-bills support the rise to 495. and 525. pre-
mium. The lew Three-and a-Quarter per Cents have been
done at b 9 to V, and the Three per Cents. at 974 to I.
East India Boards have been at 525. to 575. prem. India
Stock is worth 264.

The Foreign: Market has been moderately active. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 20 to 201 i, and the Passive 414? •
Mexican Bonds are 34% to 3/4 ; Grenada Deferred are at
4, and Chilian Three per Cents. at 66%. Venezuela Deferred
are 12% 3/4. /Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 58% 5/9.
Railway SI tares are rather cheaper, but the transactions
have been con siderable. The New Eastern Steam Navigation
Company's acs ip have been quoted at a premium.
