THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1859,

THIS

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a slight improvement in the demand for wh eat
in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and pH ces
generally were well supported. Malting barley commam led
extreme currencies, but other kinds ruled somewhat hat' fry.
Other produce was dull, on former terms.
Throughout the Continent fine wheat and barley have t told
at full prices, but other kinds have met a dull inquiry. At
New York, to which port shipments have been made from
Liverpool, both wheat and flour continue comparatively
high in price.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were only moderate. From abroad we received 6,254 qrs.
of wheat, 17,283 barley, 7,732 oats, 2,020 beans, 259 peas,
1,393 tares, 3,919 linseed, 6,591 rapeseed, 4,770 sundry seeds,
1,664 sacks and 200 barrels of flour.
A very limited supply of wheat was received fresh up to-
day from Kent, and the arrivals from Essex were very
moderate ; hence the show of samples of both red and
white was small, but their general condition was tolerably
good. For fine parcels there was a steady demand, and in
some instances prices may be called the turn, or is per qr.,
higher than on Monday last. Low and middling qualities
found buyers at full quotations.
There was an improved tone in the demand for useful
qualities of foreign wheat, at full currencies ; but the amount
of business doing was only moderate.
Floating cargoes of grain sold at full prices, but the
demand was rather heavy.
Malting barley was scarce, and in request, at full prices.
Grinding and distilling sorts were taken off slowly, on
former terms.
For malt the inquiry was less active. Irr prices, how-
ever, no change took place. •
The show of oats was only moderate, and the demand
was far frOm active, on former terms.
Beans were in short supply, and steady request, at fully
last week's currency.
Wo had a fair deinawl for peas, at full quotations.
The flour trade was by no means active. In prices,
however, no change took place.

Memoirs to Illustrate the _History of My Time.
' By F. GuiZot, author of " Memoirs of Sir Robert
Peel," &e. &c. Translated by J. W. Cole.
Vol. 11. Richard Bentley.
The second volume of these interesting memoirs
of the French ex-Premier has now made -its
appearance. However much we may differ
from the policy, of M. Guizot and his chief,
it is always interesting to ;read the memoirs
-of one . who has for many years filled the great
offices of a European State—to see the view he
takes, in silence and retirement, of the turmoils
and angry questions that agitated his cabinet—to
watch the change in his opinions produced by the
events of succeeding years—to view the light in
which the great political questions of a former day
appear to him,when divested.' of the false colouring

as
a statesman, is eminently qualified for his under-
taking, both by his peculiar literary abilities and
bzetihgu la
the roimida,nv;ceatehf
g wasatreerss theid entina
agita-
tions of his native country, from which notonly
his own race of politicians have retreated in dis-
comfiture, but the whole dynasty which they
served, and even the title it bore, has totally passed
away. On the subject of the sudden convulsions
which threaten political power in France, M.
Guizot makes the following observations, the truth
of which , must strike every reader of French his-
tory. He is speaking of the Revolution of 1830 :
" The stuggle had scarcely begun, and already the entire
establishment of the Restoration—persons and institutes
—was in visible and urgent danger. A few hours
before, and within a short distance of Paris, the decrees
were unknown to me; and by the side of legal opposi-
tion I saw, on my arrival, revolutionary and unchained
insurrection. The journals, the courts of justice, the
secret societies, the assemblies of peers and deputies, the
national guard, the citizens and the. populace, the bankers
and .the labouring classes, the drawing-rooms and the
streets, every regulated or unlicensed element of society
either yielded to or pushed forward the genetal movement.
On the first day the cry was, ' Long live the Chirter I
Down with the Ministers !' On the second, Up with
liberty I Down with the Bourbons I Long live the Repub-
lic I Long live Napoleon the Second r The decrees of the
preceding eve had been: seized on as: the signal for
exploding all'the infirmities, hopes, ptojects, and political
desires accumulated during sixteen years.
" Amongst the evils with, which our age and country
are afflicted, one of the heaviest is, that no serious trouble
can burst forth in any part of the social edifice, but im-
mediately the entire building is in danger of subversion;
there exists a contagion of ruin which spreads with ter-
rible rapidity. Great public agitations, -extreme abuses
of power, are not new facts in the world. More than
once nations have had to struggle, not only by law but
by force, for the maintenance and recovery of their rights.
In Germany, in Spain, in England before the reign of
Charles 1., in France as far back as the seventeenth cen-
tury, the political bodies and the people have often opposed
the King, even by arms, without feeling either the neces-
sity or right of changing the dynasty of their Sovereigns or
the form of their government. Resistance and insurrec-
tion had their curbs and liinits, Whether arising from the
state of society, or the conscience and good sense of men ;
the entire system was not continually in the hazard. In
the present day, and with us, each important olitical
struggle resolves itself into a question of life and death.
Peeple and parties, in their lAind excitement, rush on the
instant to the last extremes ; resistance suddenly transforms
itself into insurrection; and insurrection 'into revolution.
Every storm becomes the deluge."

volume leaves Marshal Soult just hawiri.,,
the Cabinet of October, 1832, of which M. aiirff.
was himself a member as Minister of Public Instruc-
tion. The. exciting troubles of those times, the
policy of concession advocated by some of the Libe-
rals, in addition to the policy of resistance stoutly
maintained by M. Guizot and his friends, are all
vividly portrayed. The King himself, notwith-
standing M. Guizot's efforts to the contrary,' does
not appear in a very favourable light. His weak-
ness,- his obstinacy, his vacillation, his narrow-
mindedness are plainly manifested, and totally un-
fitted him for the responsible office of the ruler of a
great state 'in such' troubled and difficult times.
The following extract gives a scene from the Cham-
ber of Deputies on the trial of the MiniSters of
Charles X.:—

"A more weighty event, the trial of the .Ministers, was
approaching. Scarcely retired from office, I hastened to
take a very decided position on this question. During the
sitting of the 9th of November, 1830, certain expressions of
M. Odilon-Barrot on the address of the Chamber of Deputies
against the punishment of death for political offences, sup
plied me with a suitable opportunity. While on my way to the
tribune, as I passed M. Casimir Perier, Your efforts will
be futile,' whispered he to me in a low voice ; ' you will not
save the head of M. de Polignac.' 1 expected better from
the public feeling, and I expressed my own in a few words.
I take no personal interest,' I said, 'in the fallen minis-
ters ; I have no ties with any of them ; but I feel proudly
convinced that it belongs-to the honour of the nation, and
to its historic credit, not to shed their blood. After having,
changed the government and renewed the face of the coun-
try, it is truly miserable to prosecute a paltry justice by the
side of that immense justice which has struck, not four men,
but an entire government, a total dynasty. On the question
of blood, France desires nothing that shall be profitless.
All revolutions have shed blood through inflamed passions,
and not from necessity. Three months, six months after
—that blood has recoiled back upon themselves. Let us
not to day re-enter on the old track, which we avoided
even during the combat.' The Chamber was visibly
moved to sympathy. As I was returning to my place, M.
Royer-Collard stopped me, and warmly pressing my hand,
said, You may make greater speeches, but you will never
do yourself more honour.' M. de Martignac came to place
himself by my side, and thanked me with sincere emotion.
'lt is a sad pity,' said he, 'that this cause is not to be de-
cided here and at this moment. It would be gained.'
"As regards the speaker, and even the listeners, the im-
pressions of the tribune are so vivid, that we are apt to look
upon them as decisive. Facts are not slow to dissipate this
illusion. When great questions of government are in de-
bate, eloquence is at once powerful and insufficient. It
prepares, but achieves nothing, and should be employed
without too much confidence. Our debates in the Chamber
of Deputies had certainly elucidated true and political jus-
tice, and impressed many minds with a favourable senti-
ment. But when the trial actually commenced, the diffi •
culty and danger continued to be enormous ; and during
eight days, the Cabinet with all its power, M. de La Fayette
with all his popularity, King Louis-Philippe with his well -
timed, able, and humane dexterity, the House of Peers
with its courageous wisdom, exhausted themselves in efforts,
ever on the verge of failure, to restrain the underhand revo-
lutionary practices and improvident fury which sought
respectively, in the death of the accused parties, their grati-
fication and success. During this period of action, the
Chamber of Deputies, which could take no part, abstained
from speaking."
Another interesting passage is that on the fate of
Poland.. In denouncing that shameful partition,
M. Guizot echoes the opinion of most right-think-
ing men :
"It would have been a great happiness and honour for
Europe if the Popish question could have been treated and
settled in 1831, after the same mode. There has ever been,
and there is still, in the destiny of Poland a remarkable and
exclusive characteristic. Conquests and dismemberments of
states have abounded in Europe ; provinces and kingdoms
have repeatedly changed masters and names ; treaties have
succeeded wars; time has hallowed treaties; territorial and
national changes, in spite of original bitterness, have been
consecrated by. peace and the lapse of years, and accepted, not
only byindifferent spectators, but by the very people that have
been compelled to undergo their yoke. Nothing like this
has happened to Poland. Before long, a century will have
rolled over since the first partition of that unhappy coun-
try. I know not how many diplomatic acts have acknow-
ledged its new masters. Events of immense importance
have changed the destiny and absorbed the interest of
Europe. In the midst of so many iniquities and fresh mis-
fortunes, the fate of Poland has never ceased to be acknow-
ledged and felt as a European crime and calamity. It was
the murder of a whole nation, as her friends have said, with
terrible truth. In vain have their adversaries replied that
Poland herself, her detestable institutions, her blind quar-
rels, her execrable anarchy, led to her overthrow, and that
national suicide _provoked foreign assassination. The ex-
planations of history are not judicial sentences, and argu-
ment avails nothing against the strong sentiment of public
conviction. For more than sixty years Poland has ceased
to figure amongst nations, and as often as the nations of
Europe rise in agitation, Poland also begins to stir. Is it
a phantom, or a people P I cannot say. Poland may be
dead, but she is not forgotten.
"By the side of this arresting fact, I have remarked an-
other no less extraordinary :—Since the conscience of Europe
has been disturbed by the fate of Poland, important changes
have been accomplished. Many powerful and different
authorities have disposed of nations. Monarchy or republic,
conqueror or congress, none have ever seriously attempted
to call back Poland'from her grave, or to heal this European
wound. At the moment when this murder was committed,
neither old France nor old England raised an arm to pre-
vent it ; new France and new England have not acted with
more efficacy. The re-establishment of Pialand never
entered into the real or sincere designs of the French
Revolution or the Emperor. Words have been uttered,
perspectives have been opened, devotion has been called
into brilliant display by exciting hopes, but nothing more.
Extreme misfortune alone has infused some transitory
illusions into all these falsehoods. The whole world has
made use of Poland, but no one has ever assisted her.
" The course of history, so replete with the calamities of
nations, presents no example of a similar

similar position when conquest has been achieved. -It is
not simply a defeated opponent in presence of his con-
queror ; in Poland there is one, vanquished and throe victors.

to find sympathy or support, except from an immensep dis-

regards the most formidable of the three conquerors, Russia,
the preservation of her part of Poland_ is not only a ques-
tion of government, an interest of the Sovereign, but a
national passion. The Russian people are even
