SPIRIT OP TIII7 PITBLIO JOURNALS.

The Tines, in referring to the recent discussions on the
cotton trade, observes that the doctrine of the Lancashire
malcontents amounts to this : That we should be doing
better if France would take our cotton as freely and fairly
as we take her wines and silks, and that Mr. Cobden's
Commercial Treaty has proved a failure in so far as it
allows France all the benefits of Free Trade without
imposing on her the duty of Reciprocity. Frenchmen are
glad enough to send us their silk fabrics and their cheer
claret, but, instead of buying our cheap hardware and our
cheap calico in return, they persist in manufacturing the
articles for themselves. One thing must needs be clearfrom
these debates, and that is that want of reciprocity has very
little to do with the depression of trade. The industry of Lan-
cashire could hardly be much benefited by the admission of
English cottons into France duty free. If Professor Levi's
statistics are accurate, the margin of cheapness still exist'
ing in our favour must be very small, whereas in all the
elements of recommendation except cheapness we ere
actually behindhand. Instead of crying out for duties ea
French goods, it would be far better to take a lesson from
French manufacturers. We have been accustomed, it
must be owned, to make light of our rivals, and to per-
suade ourselves that nothing could touch us in com-
mercial enterpiise. The sooner we undeceive our-
selves the better. Such a monopoly as we once
enjoyed we enjoy no longer, and shall never, in all proba-
bility, enjoy again. There was a timo when we had ee
competitors ; we must now look for keen competition.
There is not the slightest reason why the national trade
should not be as good as ever, but it must be maintained
and extended on different terms. We have taught other
nations to rival us, and we must now maintain our posi-
tion by the same arts which have proved so serviceable to
our rivals. We must give up the idea of inherent anti
unapproachable superiority, and condescend at last to
avail ourselves of every lesson, and turn every example t 0
account.

The present number of the Quarterly Review, says the
Standard, contains an article on the "Past and Future of
Conservative Policy," which, by its tone and style, is soul
degrees removed from the ordinary contributions of our
contemporary to the literature of practical polities.
Hitherto it cannot be said that Conservatism has been
much indebted to its most ponderous instrument in the
press, either for active help or moral countenance. UsuallY
it has pleased the Quarterly to play the role of the
Cassandra to the party. Alternating between dismal
prophecy and gloomy comment, its counsels have been as
unsupportable and about as valuable as its predictions.
It was neither a comfort to its friends nor a terror to its
enemies. It was the first to applaud the ConservativeS
for their triumph—the first to reproach them for their fall'
It has mingled congratulations and remonstrances, apPiallef
and opprobrium, curses and blessings together in such
curious confusion, that its value as an auxiliary in the
formation of public opinion has become a good deal
paired. To Conservatives the possession of a Mentor, of
whom nobody could know whether three months after the
event he would be found blaming or approving, had fallen
into considerable discredit. The Quarterly Reviewer gives
us no help whatever to the true ideal of Conservative
policy. His advise, that we must seek in "a Prec..
tical withdrawal from the race of office" the resters'
tion of the spirit of Conservatism, is one 101°1
cannot be taken literally without a dissolution
of the Conservative party as an active instrument
in government. No party in England can afford to with-
draw from the race of office without also resigning ions
,4
principles. It is not a question only of self-denial. It
a question of self-existence. It is easy, of course, for the
leaders to give up the ambition of place ; but a party e 0,11:
sists to a very small extent only of individuals who can
benefited by the acquisition of office; the vast number °'
those who compose a party are those who have nothing t°
gain by parliamentary triumphs. What then ? Are then
to be told that there must be no race, no competition, 17
collision of principle with principle? If they believe th°
to be their duty, what shall save them from the next con'
t
elusion, that Conservatism is not a principle of governale'
at all, but only a passive opinion—a negative faith ?
will persevere in such a faith or cultivate such an °Old°
when it is deprived of all use and work, and reduced fres2l
a living force to a dead sentiment.
The Daily News considers the fund of good senses rla.,
right feeling which is in Mr. Roebuck when ho will aliewo
those qualities to shew themselves was apparent in
Dewsbury speech. Addressing the members of a
es
mecheeicso
institute, he combated the notion that a working tealf
should seek education for the purpose of raising hir`Lase g
above his sphere, rather than with the view of maltss
himself happy in it. Perhaps Mr. Roebuck does 11-s
make the best contribution possible to the secc.e
of his mission for making working men contented it
their own sphere when he revives the old con
sit
between those who, like himself, work with t"
heads, and those who, like the artisans of Yorkshire/ w°l'of
with their hands. Hands without a head would prove jo
little use in the woollen manufactures of Dewsburlt °r a
the " wheels" of Sheffield ; and even Mr. Roebuck's he;o
might have been less serviceable to himself and to
world than it has proved if he had not been a biseell
ott
animal. Lord Palmerston, with that penetrating goers_
sense which he often displayed when dealing with
°
out commonplaces, once protested against the distiei!red,
which Mr. Roebuck revives. His head-work, he der the
involved a vast amount of hand-work ;
les'
hand-work of the artisan required no oiff
clear and active head. Intellectually to dig
eon'
and respect their own employment is a gill
tion essential, in the first degree, to the workin°
of
happiness in his own sphere. As the working I°ool
England become conscious of political power, thelotuer.

If they are not quite so polite to one another as ja.toe
artisans, neither are the members of the higher acs„nd-
quite so polite to them as is the case with the corre

The Telegraph considers that both by his indivto the

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

cry-, Two o'CLocK.
Business to-day on the Stock Exchange was
rather better than it has been for the last two or
three days. Prices of Conso!s remain firm, and in
the Foreign Market there has been a general ad-
vance. American Securities have been in brisk
demand, with the exception of Erie shares, which
are depressed. The improvement has extended it-
self to the Railway Market, and Bank Shares and
Aliscellaneous Stocks aro the turn higher.
Consols are now at 931 to 934 for money ;
ditto, for Acount, 931 ; Three per Cent. Re-

Cents., 424 to 424.
English Railway Shares are well supported, and

effected. Metropolitan and Great Western, however,
Prove an exception, both of which are a shade weaker.
The prices are as follows :—Caledonian, 801 to 801
er div. ; Great Eastern, 37 to 371 ; Great Northern,
'„`"i to 1084 ; ditto (A), 105 to 106 ; Great

m°ll and North Western, 119 to 1191 ; London
and South Western, 90 to 91; Metropolitan, 84
to 844.

inent Bonds, and prices are much higher. Erie,
Atlantic, and Great Western are alone flat. The
present prices are :—Five-Twenty Bonds, 824 to
