"We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of
stricture to have equalled, if it has not exceeded, that of any of his

PERPLEXITIES oF THE MuNEY
MARKET.

(Front. the limes' City Article.)

The perplexities of the money market seem
great, r than ever. . For many months persons have
b2en lookiog to the present period as that at which
some turn in the tia favourable course of our bullion
balances miglit be expected, and instead we have
the Bank rcvertinr to almost its highest rate of dis-
count, 'while its stock of gold is reduced to a point
lower than at any time in the last 10. years. The
question is, can this sudden increase of pressure be
at,tributed to temp traoy cause, or is it only a regu-
l'r stage of a condition which has Already existed for
two or three years, and must now be considered per-
manent ? Ou the favourable side we have the fact
tha,, looking at the course of a great number of
years, the r a eofdiscount in England averages about
4 per cent., and that consequently anyadyance be-
tween this point has always hitherto been followed
by a proportionate reaction; next, that the trade
Of the country has for the last 27 months been of
unprecedented ,magnitude and health in nearly
every department ; next that, notwithstanding the
profits thus made, there has been an unusual ab-
stinence from speculative commitments either at
home or abroad ; and, finally, that the agricul-
tural.returns of the kingdom have for the last two
years, to say the least, been perfectly satisfactory.
With a profitable export business, an economical
expenditure, and a good yield of home produce,
the circumstance that the balance of cash pay-
ments between ourselves and the rest of the world
is uninterruptedly against us seems an extra-
ordinary anomaly. Last year the conviction
that our positron in these respects could lead
only to a rapid improvement in our money market
was so strong that the most persevering warnings
were necessary to prevent the public from at once
running wildly into every description of foreign ad-
venture, and their surprise, therefore, may well be
great, when, after 11 months' continuance of such
prosperity, they, find themselves increasingly in
debt to other nations. The chief explanation of-
fered is that the great commercial development con-
sequent upon the-gold discoveries and other causes
ha; created a demand for capital beyond all former
experience. This, however, is little better than
a superficial assumption. There has been no un-
expected addition to the population of the world.

nor any conversion of nations from barbarism to
civilisation to warrant the belief that our mer-
cantile transactions have been suddenly forced to
such magnitude that our entire yearly gains are in-
sufficient to supply the extra capital requisite for
carrying them on. The Australian discoveries are
now six years old, the population of those colonies
is still instnidcant; a large portion of them continue
their old avocations of producing wool and tallow,
and the occupation of the remainder who are engaged
in gold-finding can have no material effect either in
increasing or.diminishing the wealth of the world, or
in leading to an alteration of the rate of interest, how-
ever extraordinary may be its influence on the other
relations of property. It is true that our exports last
year were 20,000,000/. above auy recent average, and
that an augmentation is still taking place, but com-
mercial men know with what a slight increase of
actual money an improved trade to this extent may,
in times when credit is perfectly sound, be carried
on. A large part of the addition, moreover, is merely
consequent upon higher prices, and, although these
involves, proportionate increase in the movements
of capital, their effects are in most cases balanced
in the course of a few months ; since if we haVe to
pay more for our raw material we have also more to
receive for our manufactured goods, and the ulti-
mate bullion balances in settlement can therefore in
no way be affected. Hence the doctrine that the
spread of commerce will account for the phenomena
now in progress must be discarded as unsatisfactory,
or, at all. events, insufficient. Further reasons must

be sought, and they will probably be found much
more in consonance with the ordinary course of
affairs. A failure of crops in some part of the world
is generally at the bottom of all monetary disturb-
ances, and in the present instance this solution is
one among others. The loss of silk last year in Italy
and France, the vine blight, the deficient yield of
wheat in France, the Peuinsull and many parts of
Germany, the destruction of the zorn.c.r.op-in
United States in 1855, and the transfer consequent
upon the war of part of our Russian trade to India
seem enough. The official efforts on the continent
to conceal from the people their real position in
times of disaster have prevented the extent of im-
poverishment sustained by Fiance and other
countries during the past year from becoming
accurately known ;_ but no one doubts that it has

been such as would explain a very severe re-
vulsion. Indeed the surprise has been that,
while the grounds for distress in that
country have been perfectly apparent, she has es-
caped with a degree of monetary pressure not
greater than that witnessed in England. Has not
this result, however, been solely consequent upon
the extent to which she has drawn upon English

capital ? It is believed that the fall in her Govern-
ment funds and railway securities has been arrested
solely by investments from this side. Political order
being maintained, while the extent of her agricul-
tural lo=ss have been as timbals possible concealed,
the confid.enCe of English capitalists in her securities
has not been shaken, and with every fresh decline
London investors have been disposed to increase
their stake. In this way we have mitigated the
pressure, and taken it in a great degree on our own
shoulders. At the same time, the fact of a

most importint portion of European trade being
diverted to China and India has caused a temp )-

rary lock-up both of money and of produce, since
probably at no time throughout the pa-t year has
there been at sea le-s than 1,500,0001. of specie,
and an equal value in silk, tea, hemp, &c., beyond
what would otherwise have been so situated. Along

with these circumstances there have also been many
. _

minor ones,. The conviction that with the prevail-

ing prosperity of the country it was impossible
that the pressure for money could continue has
been so perseveringly held that investments—
usually too large and incautious—in Ameri-
can stocks have been continued to a much heavier
extent than has been supposed, in order to se-
cure the advantage of low prices in New York.
The gradual absorption of bullion by the Austrian
Bank in preparation for a resumption of specie
payments in January next has likewise had an in-
fluence, as well as the search for silver to supi,ly
the China market, which has kept a large quantity
of gold in, traitsitu throughout Europe and South
America. Lately, the Persian and Chinese wars
have added to the demand, while for a long. period
the calls have been steady for the Grand. Trunk
Railway of Canada, and also for the Indian lines.
These considerations appear ample to account
for our present position without a resort to
any particular theories, and they are all of a
character to encourage a belief that affairs will
afer some time resume their ordinary channel.
Good crops, however, can alone be the foundation
of any pernianent change. At present the silk
harvest promises well, but it is too early to form
any conclusive opinion. The season appears also
to have been generally favourable for grain, but
that must be an anxious question for several months.
thader no circumstances, however, can a return to
cheap money be anticipated for several years.
While the commercial pressure has been going on
a multitude of claims for useful public works in our
colonies and elseaYllere, with large guarantee=, have
been held in abey-aDee, and these will offer oppor-
tunities to cause all persons to congratulate
them-
selves if they have kept their capital available.

Cutztous v
,_,_is CovEny,—A curious discovery was made
a short time since by some workmen employed in dig-
ging a cellar in the cattle market at Mentz (Lower
Rhine). At the depth of about 12 feet they came on a
composed of a conglomeration of vege-
layer of turf,
ac., in which were found soles of shoes,
tables, bark,
large pieces of leather, and of woollen and linen cloth,
Roman knives, lance heads, &c. The leather, which is
in a perfect state of preservation, is of Roman origin, for
the soles of shoes discovered are those of sandals, similar
to those which were found in the bed of the Thames.
Tho Wiesbaden Antiquarian Society purchased this first
lot; after which ti • Me rtz Society made a further search,
and dug to a depth of 30 feet, where the layer of turf
terminated. They found skins sown together, and large
enough to make entire garments, as well as other san-
dals very skilfully worked, and the soles studded with
small conical nails. What is extraordinary is the state of
preservation of all the objects thus found. There was
also discovered a part of a coat of mail, which differs en-
tirely from those of the middle ages.
