phatic tone assumed by Lord LANSDOWNE in uttering
this announcement, and bearing in mind that the Com-
mission of Inquiry appointed by the Treasury will
have met and deliberated once more this morning, we
may be allowed to entertain the hope of a fortunate de-
cision without thereby proving ourself to be endowed
with any very extravagantly sanguine temperament.
Enough inconvenience, in sooth, has resulted already
from the absurd system forced upon the country by
that most preposterous decision of the 30th of
May, into which the House of Commons was
surprised by the pious fraud of Lord
ASHLEY and his associates. Sufficient misery
has already accrued to tho population from
the Pharisaical decree of that infatuated clique even
to satisfy the morbid appetite for suffering which
appears to be the inevitable concomitant of superstition.
Before many more days have elapsed we may expect
to witness the reversal of the regulation foisted upon
the acceptance of the Government by that crafty
and ingenious minority which expanded itself into
a majority by availing itself of the interval
between the day of the Derby and the day
of the Oaks. Nothing consequently will have been
gained by this wily measure on the part of the
saints beyond a demonstration of tiv slippery nature
of their proceedings, and putting their antagonists
more than ever on their guard against their tricks and
machinations.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1850.

Unless some unexpected obstacle should arise to
prevent the fulfilment of such expectations, we are
sanguine that this day will witness the decisive and
permanent discomfiture of Sabbatarianiam. Intima-
tions suggestive of ,0!_•h hopes were given last evening
in both Houses of Parliament. In the Lords the in•
timation came from the lips of the Marquis of LANS-
DOWNE ; in the Commons from the mouth of Mr.
LABOUCHRRE. It was thereby almost simultaneously
announced in the hereditary and representative
brunches of the Legislature, in the latter by the Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade, in the former
by the Lord President of the Council. According to
the Right Honourable Gentleman the representative
of Taunton, it might be looked upon almost as a
matter of certainty that the report of the Committee
would be forthwi;.ti transmitted to the Treasury.
What the purport f that report will be may be
readily surmised from the nature of the assertion
made last night by Lord LANSDOWNE, to the effect
that daily rep egentations are laid before
the. Government of the baneful consequences
arising from the stoppage of Post-office
labour on Sunday:. " Several cases have been de-
scribed," observed the Noble Marquis, " of grievous
railway and other accidents, and of the sudden illness
of persons who, by the enforcement of this regula-
tion, have been prevente.d.from seeing their relatives

in their dying marn?nts. I trust, therefore," he re-

Immediately after Lord ASHLEY had carried his
resolution on the 30th of May, by 93 ayes against 69
noes, it may he in the remembrance of some of the
more observant of our readers that we took occasion
to analyse the list of the divisions, at least inasmuch
as we pointed, out one after another by name the so-
called Liberals implicated in that disgraceful transac-
tion. Before leaving that melancholy catalogue of
the majority, we may here in some measure extend
our analysis by commenting upon the proportion of
Scottish representatives whose names figure among
those of the majority. Out of the fifty-three Members
returned to Parliament by Scotland, upwards of
'one-third of the entire number were assembled
together in the House of Commons on that
boon day intervening between the Derby and the
Oaks, which had been selected by the honest and
gallant phalanx of Sabbatarians as an occasion
affording them a golden opportunity. There were the
representatives of Edinburgh, of Elgin, of Dundee,
.of Paibley, of Selkirk, of Wigton, both the
Members for Glasgow, and the Representative
of Orkney and Shetland. In addition, moreover,
to these borough Members, there were the fol-
lowing county Members, the Representatives of
Perthshire, of Banffshire, of Elginshire, of
Fifeshire, of Stirlingshire, of Ayrshire, of Berwick-
shire, of Lanarkshire, and of Kincardineshire. Those
godly mea, therefore, who would render the Cale-
donian railroad the model railroad for the United
Kingdom, have reason to exult in the staunch ultra-
. sanctity of their fellow-citizens in Parliament.
Nevertheless, while we would afford the Pharisaical
directors of that railway company this limit to " fra-
ternize" in spirit with the Scottish Representatives
above enumerated, we would commend the list of the
latter to the serious scrutiny and tenacious recollec-
tion of the possessors of the elective franchise in
Caledonia. _ .

A few years since the public attention was almost
exclusively directed to the existing monetary code,
by which an artificial scarcity was produced in the
ejaculating medium of the country. The nation had
just passed through a commercial crisis of no ordi-
nary magnitude. Houses of unquestionable solvency
and first-class credit were suddenly reduced to the
verge of bankruptcy and ruin, while others of less
stability, whose resources happened to be locked up
for the time being, were obliged to yield
to the storm, and either to appear in the
Gazette or to place their affairs under the
inspection of trustees, to be wound up for the
benefit of their creditors. A wild panic prevailed on
every side ; there was a total cessation of credit.
Tne rate of interest for money increased to an extra-
ordinary amount-13, 18, or 20 per cent. was com-
monly paid for the discount or approved trade bills,
and the security must have been of a very high order
indeed, such as in ordinary time would be freely
cashed at 2; or 3 per cent., to be even looked at. It
was impossible to estimate the extent of the
danger, or to calculate when the turning
paint would ba reached. Sauce qui pent
became the general principle, and each
struggled for himself alone, disregarding the claims
of tried friends and correspondents, whom, under
ordinary circumstances, he would willingly support
to the utmost extent of his resources and credit. It
was not that his confidencs in the individuals were
sllaken, but he found that there would be a failure in
the circulating medium—a want of currency ade-
quate to the business transactions of the country.
These untoward events were ascribed to a variety
of causes. The currency quacks, who yielded to the
pernicious doctrines of the bullionists, were prepared
to cast the blame in any direction, provided their
favourite theori'ss might be exempted from censure.
Tney prated usque ad nauseam of the failure of the
potAto crop, of the railway expenditure, of the defici-
ency of commercial capital, of over speculation, and
over production as the exciting causes of these heavy
disasters, while others clearly deduced that all our
sufferings were attributable to the free-trade measures
which had been passed the preceding year, and as-
serted that the labouring population were reduced to
a state of distress and destitution because they were
not compelled to pay larger sums by way of
tribute to the agricultural interest, or, as they
are pleased to term themselves, the " territorial
aristocracy " of the country. We are not quite sure,
indeed, that the Exeter-Hall clique did not consider
the calamity was owing to the abolition of the penal
code, and the establishment of general—would that
we could say universal—toleration. Every cause, in
fact, hut the true one, was specified. Like Mr.
SNODGRASS, who declared that his inebriety was
owing " not to the wine, but the salmon," they
were willing to place it to any account but the un-
wise and impolitic currency laws.
Many persons, however, saw clearly the real state
of affairs, that the general distress and destitution was
owing, not to a national insolvency, but to the
state of the law, that compelled, not merely an im-
mediate payment in gold on demand of all notes that
might be issued, but even obliged a large amount of
bullion to ba withdrawn from circulation, and use-
lessly buried in the Bank cellars, where it was pro-
ductive of no more benefit than an equal weight of
paving-stones. They knew that there was an abun-
dance of real capital in the country, it was only its
representative that was wanting. There was not a
sufficient medium of exchange to enable parties to
dispose of the commodities of which they had a super-
fluity, and procure others of which they were in
want, and they clearly traced the evils under
which the nation was groaning to the opera-
tion of the unjust and oppressive Act of 1819,
increased in intensity and materially aggravated by
the still more atrocious law of 1844. The great ma-
jority of the public journals gave expression to the
most enlightened views on the subject. Pamphlet
after pamphlet, written with remarkable ability,
issued from the press. The popular attention was at
length excited ; monetary reform was urgently de-
manded, and it speedily became obvious that some-
thing should be done. Perhaps there was not a single
iniiyiival throughcut the length and
.breadth of the

marked in conelior, "that the result of
= -the inquiry will •b : -tha adoption of some
better arrangetn;..:: than one at" present

THE SUN,

Another evil consequence resulting from the stop-
page of Sunday labour in the Post-office department
may be adduced beyond those mentioned last evening
either by the Marquis of LAN:DOWNE or by Mr.
L_knOUCHERE. What do our readers think (only
the other day cn one of the circuits) of a learned
coun4el who, in his capacity of 111. P.,
had voted in favour of the scheme of the
Sabbatarians being nonplused during a trial
by the non-arrival of a letter most important in its
bearing upon the case he was himself then conducting
professionally ? We doubt not that their laughter
would have been joined very heartily to that raised
by the persons in court when the Learned Judge on
the bench reminded the bewildered barrister that the
letter in question was prevented from reaching his
hands Vy that very absurd system which he
himself had been partially instrumental in forcing
upon the acceptance of the Government! Such are
the dilemmas arising even to the originators of the
new arrangement from a scheme as detrimental to
the interests of the community ag it is injurious to
the cause of true religion.

land, save and except Sir CHARLES WOOD, who was
not fully alive to the signs of the times and the ne-
cessity of some immediate relief being afforded to the
sufferers.

He, good easy man, slumbered on with
the most imperturbable placidity—he found no
want of money, his hankers always answered
his cheques, and like the French princess,
who supposed that the people were starving because
they would not eat bread and cheese—he ascribed the
innumerable failures, the overflowing Gazettes, to the
obstinacy of the people, who would not avail them-
selves of the ample accommodation freely placed at
their disposal, and easily within the reach of all.
Deputation after deputation was dismissed with the
most flippant assurances that they were entirely
mistaken is supposing that there was any
want of money, that he, Sir CHARLES
knew better, and that matters would all go smoothly
if they only had patience. At length a body of
persons approached Downing-street who could not be
treated so very cavalierly. The reserve of notes in
the banking department of the Bank of England had
been fearfully reduced. There had been a constant
drain on its resources during October, and on the 231
of that month the reserve had fallen to 1,547,2701, a
sum not more than sufficient to meet the balances of
the metropolitan bankers. It was clearly intimated
that these balances would have been withdrawn
if some decisive steps were not immediately
taken, and the country would then have beheld a
stoppage of payment by the Bank while it had nearly
8,000,000/. sterling of gold and silver coin and bul-
lion in its coffers. This was not owing to the want
of ample resources. The rest, or surplus, profits on
that very day exceeded three millions and a half of
pounds sterling. " The credit of the Bank for all
domestic purposes was perfect," as Lord ASHBURTON
described it to have been in the former crisis of
182.5,—" there was no man in the country who
was not ready to take its paper as a means
of circulation, and to give even his gold for
it the moment he was assured that his
neighbour would take it from him again; the gold
was not wanting to send abroad, the state of the
foreign exchanges forbade it. There was, therefore,
no fear of depreciation of paper. The necessity and
pressure was purely domestic." This was an accu-
rate description of the state of affairs, and the Act
of 1844 was clearly the cause of all the evil. The
Premier fortunately attended at the meeting, and
Sir CHARLES WOOD was, to a certain extent, con-
trolled in his fancies. The celebrated letter of the
25th of October was issued, which was justly
regarded as a virtual suspension of the Act
of 1844. Its effects were almost miraculous,
although clogged with many impolitic provisions,
It was regarded as the removal of banking restric-
tions—the death-blow to the Act of 1844; all was
joy and satisfaction, and immediate relief was expe-
rienced in the money market. We shall, on a fu-
ture occasion, show the reasonable expectations of
the people were frustrated, and all the mischievous
provisions of the existing code retained, through the
influence.sand dodgery of our excellent Chancellor.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The PRESIDENT reviewed, on Thursday, the Gen-
darmerie Mobile of Paris, and it is said that although
very great efforts were made to procure a manifesta-
tion Napoleonienne, yet the cry of " Vire la &pulp.
lupe" predominated. In the evening the PRESIDENT
entertained the officers and non-commissioned officers
at the Elpee, and after dinner the Imperial mani-
festations were as warm as the most ardent of the
entourage of the Elysee could have desired; indeed
the enthusiasm created by the appearance of Louis
NAPOLEON among the " wine warmed" company is
represented as being akin to that created among
the " wine warmed" Gardes du Corps at Versailles.
by the appearance of MARIE ANTOINETTE at the
commencement of the first revolution. The funds
went down when the doings at this banquet became
known on the Bourse.

The Ztioniteur publishes the report of the Commit.
tee appointed to consider the state of the old soldiers
of the Empire. It recommends that 500,000 francs
should be granted for their relief.
The statue of Baron LARREY was inaugurated on
Thursday, at Val de Grace. General PaTTIT and
many other veterans of the Imperial armies attended
in uniform.

The Minerva frigate and the steamer Cafarelli
arrived at Cherbourg on the 6th, where they join the
Mediterranean squadron, expect& d on the 15th.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING,

was said that a consulta would sit in Rome with a
deliberative voice on matters of finance. It was also
believed that a political amnesty would be published,
from which about 100 persons were to be excepted by
name.
Letters from Naples of the 26th ult. state that
King BOMEa had set off in a great fright to Gaeta.
Every one knows that his MAJESTY has with true
Bourbonian faith done everthing in his power to de-
stroy the Constitution which he had sworn upon the
Holy Evangelists to observe, and he imagined that he
had by the reign of terror, which he inaugurated
eighteen months since, and which he continues with
most Robespierrean perseverance, effectually silenced
all who might feel inclined to utter a syllable in
behalf of the Constitution.
At Caserta, however, he was undeceived. On the
23d ult. he reviewed the garrison there, and was re-
ceived by the troops with cries of "Long live the
Constitution !" " Long live the Constitutional King !"
The crowd assembled to see the review re-echoed the
cries. The KING quitted the field and immediately
set out for Gaeta, having previously given orders fur
the arrest of nearly 400 persons.
