The announcement of Lord STANLEY, that he
should this evening " move for leave to bring in a
bill to enable the Secretary of State for India to
raise money in the United Kingdom far the benefit
of the Government of India," has excited the wrath
of the Times. It would, according to the Leviathan,
be a gross infraction of the laws of Free Trade to
prevent any Continental Government, or petty
South American State, from flinging their bonds
on the market, and obtaining gold at a fixed price,
which, when transmitted, might be rendered
applicable to very injurious purposes. The only
question raised with respect to the Austrian Loan
abortion was whether it would prove a paying in-
vestment, and the lowering state of the' political
atmosphere. The dark clouds threatening a speedy
storm, prevented the specious bait from being even
nibbled at. There was not, however, the slightest
hint that the advance.might occasion a sanguinary
European war. Profit or loss might be said to
be the only items on either side of the balance-
sheet. The same may be said of every other
application, with one broad and glaring exception.
Let the assistance be required for- even the sister
Empire—the direct Government whereof has so
recently been assumed by, and in the name of,
Queen VicToßia. Let it be for the most magnifi-
cent and improving of our colonies—that very
colony which supplies so -large a quantity of gold
—the sole idol of the hard calculators—and there
is an immediate outcry, "Our Money Market will
be disturbed !" The precious metals will be taken
from our shores. Indeed, " the effect is already
becoming seriously palpable."
Surely it has not as yet materially raised the
rate of discount in the market. The Bank direc-
tors have not deemed it prudent to retrace the
step they took with such palpable reluctance. The
minimum rate is still but 21 per cent., and it
is said that approved paper is convertible on still
cheaper terms. • The last return showed that
the Bank reserve had increased by £525,050
within the week, amounting
in the whole
to £12,625,065, while the bullion in both
departments was augmented by £166,983, now
standing at the grand total of £19,461,005. Under
such circumstances we may meet the reasonable,
just, and well-secured requirements of our ow,
children, those in whose welfare and prosperity
we are peculiarly concerned, and who will return
magnificent fruits for every shilling advanced to
assist them for the purpose of developing their
material resources, without so greatly injuring our.
