THE SUN, LONDON,

mons the answer to the Address from the Throne.
That selection we have already commented upon as
most judicious, and as one reflecting the highest
possible credit on the discrimination of the Cabinet.
It afforded 11F, therefore, extreme satisfaction to observe
the echo of the same sentiments, within a week of
their publication, by the lips of the Hon. Gentleman
the Representative of the 'Vest Riding of Yorkshire
when addressing, on.a recent occasion, the intelligent
inhabitants of Sheffield. We doubt not that the
honour thus conferred on the Hon. CHARLES PEI...
HAM VILLIERS by her MAJESTY'S Ministerial advisers
has carried some slight sensation at least of
dismay into the ranks even of men so self-satisfied of
their indestructibility as the Protectionists. They
cannot fail to perceive in the circumstance of the
foremost champion of unrestricted commerce being
chosen to inaugurate the proceedings of the new
Parliamentary session a significant token of the
staunch and unalterable adherence of the present
Administration to that commercial policy which Sir
ROBERT PEEL had the unfading glory of establishing.

boards—we have already had quite enough of the
" Poles," the " Freshfieldz," the " G. F. Youngs,"
and the " Mundys.” The lugubrious howlings of
these distinguished individuals are stereotyped by
every journal that may deem it expedient to record or
chronicle such pure and unadulterated " humbug."
They indeed may exclaim—
" Qum regio in terris, nostra non plena laboris."

Whether the agriculturists of Essex, the
farmers of Surrey, or the sturdy yeomen of
Kent be invited, the indefatigable FZESHFIELD,
whose legal lore must be exceedingly valuable in
teaching the most approved modes of culture, and the
omnipresent "G. F. YOUNG" are at, hand to en-
lighten and direct the gaping multitude. 'We cannot,
however, pass over an admirable specimen of that rara
avis in terris, a " PROECTIONIST-MANUFACTURER."

Mr. JOSIAH LEwls• (silk manufacturer) appeared
on the stage. That astute individual informed his as-
tounded audience that "one of the strongest arguments
against free trade was found in the fact, that Derby
was prosperous !!" He discovered " that the staple
trade in Derby enjoyed a certain amount of protec-
tion, and if that were withdrawn in the slightest de-
gree, every loom in Derby would be stopped, or they
would have to reduce the wages of the labourer one-
half! !" The Honourable Gentleman seeing the
astonishment which his erudite discovery occasioned
in the minds of the auditory, found it necessary to
make some modifications of his statement. He added,
"He did not mean to say the whole of
the silk trade was protected. Thrown silks were not
protected, and what was the consequence ? Why
the throwers were obliged to withdraw from that de •
partment of the business which had been entirely
abandoned to the foreigners !!" Now this is a die-
fillet and definite assertion, perfectly capable of being
sustained by evidence, and we readily join issue with
Mr. JOSIAH LEWIS thereupon. We believe that the
great majority of the manufacturers of the district
repeatedly petitioned Parliament for a repeal
of the corn-laws, and, stated in their petitions
ti:at " they required no protection f-r themselves."
In fact, they always disclaimed protection, as their
late representative, Me. STRUTT, declared, oa their
behalf, in his place in• Parliament. It is admitted that
the silk-thrown trade is not protected, but so far from
being " entirely abandoned to the foreigner," we have
it, on the most unquestionable authority, that it was
never in a more healthy or prosperous condition, and
that all the mills are not only working
full time, but that it has been found ne
cessary to give orders for work elsewhere.
Let Mr. Izw is deny these assertions if he can ; and
if not, how can he get out of assertions such as
FERDINAND MENEZ PINTO might blush to father.
Tire mode in which " unanimity" is secured at the
reactionary meetings may be gathered from the fact
that Mr. SAMUEL ROBINSON, a highly respectable and
intelligent tenant-farmer, holding more than 400
acres of land, was hustled out of the meeting, and
ejected, vi et armis, by these bludgeonists in the dis-
guise of decent yeomen. To those who desire an
accurate account of such transactions we heartily
commend the unsparing exposures contained in the
columns of our talented and esteemed Contemporary;
the Derby and Chesterfield Reporter.

No act, indeed, on the part of th; Government could
by any possibility be more expressive of the depth of
its resolution in regard to the detestation of mono-
poly. It is like registering a vow in the pre-
sence of the whole country to be loyal to
that cause with which the name cf every
member of the Cabinet has become assccieted and
identified. Insomuch so, that, notwithstanding a
large amount of bluster and fanfaronade, we con-
jecture that the Protectionists must be already medi-
tating the abandonment of their armour, and possibly
before the year 1850 bas expired their rusty shields
and broadswords may be hung up for ever in desolate
halls of the agricultural Belelathe.
It is calculated that the Commons on the occasion
of their re-assembly will muster more strongly than
could reasonably have been expected, not a solitary
seat being actually vacant. Six vacancies during
the recess have been filled up with new representatives :
Kidderminster abandoning Mr. GODSON for Mr. BEST;
Cork accepting Colonel CIIATTERTON in lieu cf Mr.
CALLAGHAN; West Surrey exchanging Mr. E VEL YN for
Mr. DENNISON ; Shoreheal replacing Mr. GORING
with Lord ALEXANDER GORDON LENNOX ; Boston
selecting Cep-fain PELHAM as the successor of Sir
JAMES DUKE ; and Reading, on the elevation of
Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD to the judicial bench,
taking Mr. STAN FORD as its representative. Such have
been the alterations made in the character of the
House of Commons since the prorogation (.1 Parlia-
ment, four of the above vacancies having arisen from
deaths, and the remaining two from other casualties.
With a modification so minute in the actual position of
parties in the popular branch of the Legislature, it
cannot be difficult to estimate the preponderance of
votes upon any one of the different questions already
submitted to dieoussion. Hence, therefore, we are
enabled to form something more than mere conjec-
tures as to the probable labours of the session now on
the :eve of its commencement. The public are not
inexperienced in the political creed of their present
representatives, and hence they may comment upon
the proportions of the division lists without much
hazard of labouring under a delusion, either
in the way of despondency or of over-
confidence. During three years the Prime
Minister has been unremitting in his efforts
to marshal in something like order and compactnesfs
the mass of his supporters. It is consequently with
no unpractised hand that he adventures upon the
direction of the new Parliamentary campaign, but
rather with a sense of his own greater aptitude for
the conduct of affairs, and with a larger confidence in
the consistency and vigour of the Liberal majority.
From his experience, moreover, of the general irrita-
tion caused by the short-comings hitherto conspicuous
in the course of the ruling Government, we are san

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and yesterday.
The Moniteur of Saturday publishes the following
circular, on the suLject of passports, addressed by
the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the French Consuls
resident in Great Britain :
" Monsieur,—The numerous complaints raised in
England by the obligation imposed on Englishmen on
their landing in France to exchange at the part of their
arrival the passports which they bring wita them, and
which were delivered to them by cur consuls in the
United Kingdom for a provisional pass, have excited the
particular attention of the Gm e-nment. It has thought
proper, while maintaining the dispositions prescribed by
the law relative to public safety, to modify in practice
with regard to Eagland the state of things now exist-
ing. It has, then fire, thought that there would be no
inconvenience in substituting for the :presentpassports
a titre de voyage, under the name of pass, a model of
which you will hind annexed. These passes, which will
be valid for a month, will serve to go and return between
France and England. It is this pass which you will there-
fore henceforward deliver to the English who may
apply at your office previous to their leaving
for France. You will not deliver them withcut de-
taching from them the marginal check, which you will
preserve and forward direct at the end of every week to
the Minister of the Interior. You will be pleased to
take the proper measures, in order that all the consular
agents placed under your orders shall be prepared to
cor.f)rm immediately, like yourself, to these new ar-
rangements. For this purFose you will send them a
sufficient number of copies of the new passes, with the
necessary instructions. Yon will recommead to them
the greatest, exactitude in immediately delivering the
passes when demanded, in order that at the places of
embarkation a traveller may always be able to procure
that document between the arrival of the railway train
and the del arture of the steamer. As it would be nei-
ther just nor proper that Frenchmen should be treated
less favourably than English subjects, the present in-
structions will naturally apply to such French subjects
as may wish to return from England into France. The
charge for these new passes will be the Fame as for the
old passports—viz., 6t. 25c., or ss. I, moreover, autho-
rise you b give the present circular all the publicity
which you may think proper.
" Accept, &c.,
" General DE Lk UITTE, Minister of
Foreign Affairs."
The Jioniteur also states that the Minister of Fi-
nance, in order to avoid the delays caused in the sea-
ports by the inspection of the luggage of travellers,
has given orders that that examination shall be made
at the termini of the railway at Paris on the arrival of
the trains.

g uine that a beneficent impetus has been imparted to
his ambition to secure his popularity yet further by
the evidences of his enlightened statesmanship and
the tokens of his undeviating patriotism. Hence it

is that we look with hope, if not with implicit re-
iance upon the approaching labours of our hereditary
ind representative legislators.

The advocates of monopoly are taking full advan-
tage of the holiday season. In every practicable in-
stance the Protectionist leaders are endeavouring to
induce their dupes to neglect the care of their re-
spective farms in order to attend meetings, and listen
to the plaintive Jeremiads poured forth by the choson

orators. Ewe are to believe these sagacious and
longheaded gentlemen, the sun of England's
prosperity has set for ever. No hope
remains for a country where the blighting
influence of free trade has been suffered to prevail.
Nothing can bs expected but a national bankruptcy,
in which all classes, the manufacturer as well as the
agriculturist, will be involved in one common ruin.
The only advantage which the former can anticipate
is, that his destruction may not take place for a brief
period after that of his rural brethren is accomplished.
lie may obtain the privilege of Ovnr, and be the
" last devoured ;" but the fate which inevitably awaits
him cannot be averted. He must make up his mind to
submit to the common lot. The proprietors of the soil
may farm their own estates, while the farmers go to
the workhouse and the paupers to —, a place not to
be named to ears polite, but the factories will speedily
be closed, and the operatives deprived of employment.
The millowners will appear in the Gazette, the
columns of which must be enlarged to ma ke room
for the increasing numbers who must make up
their minds to undergo the " whitewashing " process,
and the cotton spinners and other hands, who—
short-sighed and deluded individuals—now rejoice in
the possession of " cheap and untaxed food," and that
greatest of all popular fallacies, "a large loaf," will be
unable to obtain funds to purclnse bread, although it
may be at a merely nominal price, and all but given
away.

The trial of M EMILE DE GIKARDIN, for having
republished in the Presse an article from La Reforme,
for the publication of which the gerant of the latter
journal had been tried and convicted, took place on
Friday, and termir.ated in the acquittal of M. EMILE
DE GIRARDIN, The Presse has the following obser-
vations on this trial :
" Tf).-e cba-a2ter of justice is impassibility, that cf li-
berty is mobility—passion. The court cf law which
Cadges liberty may strike it, but the blow which the court
gives is always less violent than the count..rblow which
it receives. Tho court which judges liberty ceases to be
justice in all the majesty of that simple word ; it be-
comes political j ustiee—that is to say, uncertain, versatile,
suspected, which all parties are entitled by turns to dis-
trust, for there is not one which has not by turns abused
it, and caused it to fall into excesses. Will it be said that
political justice, which pronounces on the crimes and of-
fences of the press,escapes thereproaches which we men-
tion, by the institution, so essentially variable, of jury-
men? Whoever says so is mistaken. To choose the jury
to intervene in political matters is to weaken its autho-
rity in civil ones. 'The juryman who pronounces on
the innocence or fault of a robber, has only his consci-
ence to interrogate; it is not the same with him who
pronounces ou the innocence or culpability of a doubtful
doctrine; in that case he must distrust his opinion, must
fling it aside, must impose silence on it, in order to be
sure that it will not speak more loudly than his consci-
ence—a formidable trial, to which it would be more
prudent not to submit the juryman. What we asked be-
fore the decision which has acquitted the Presse, and
what we ask now after that event, is the absolute sepa-
ration of what is in the domain of justice from what ap-
pertains to liberty. May this decision be the last in
press matters. Let the law officers of the Republic be-
lieve us, and henceforward cease to prosecute journals;
let them leave to them the care of contradicting and
neutralising each other. They will perform the duty
better than can do it all the substitutes who desire to
become Advocates-General, all the Advocates-General
anxious to become Procureurs-General."

, Such, according to these modern Solons, are the
calamities that await the nation, inconsequence of the
grievous mistake in legislation that was committed
in the session of 1846—calamities from which
nothing can preserve once fortunate and happy Eng-
land but a rapid retrogression in her commercial po-
licy, and a speedy re-establishment of protective or
prohibitory duties on the importation of foreign
corn and of every description of agricultural produce.
The remedy is plain and simple nothing, in fact,
more easy. The landlords, poor innocents ! have no
personal feelings or motives in endeavouring to
restore the national prosperity. It is solely
for the benefit of the community in general
that they are induced to labour, fur the farmers and
agricultural labourers, nay, even the manufacturers
and operatives, are included within the scope of their
comprehensive and disinterested philanthropy, and yet,
" 0 ccecai mens:mortalium," the besotted and deluded
victims cannot discern who are their real friends and
what is best calculated to promote their own welfare
and happiness, but still obstinately cling to the
" cheap loaf," and " heed not the voice of the
charmer," charm he never so wisely.
The proceedings at the various gatherings are so
similar, both in the conduct and results, that one may
be taken as the type of all. An attentive perusal of
the report of a single meeting will render the reader
completely au fait as to all. If then we allude to the
transactions at one assemblage, a general insight will
be obtained as to all. Some may be possibly ren-
dered a little more racy than others. It is not
every county that can boasts a Mr. Bus-
TEILD FBRRAND, nor can we hope to hear
on many occasions such graphic and vigorous nar-
ratives of sanguinary encounters,- ending in the igno-
minious execution of one of the'rebel generals by the
hands of en associate who had volunteered to fill the
office cf " hangman," in order to preserve his miser-
able existence. No. Greece knew no second llostEß,
and England hath no other*" FERNAND." We, there-
fore, pass by the gathering at York, as being in some
respects sui generis ; and if we select the meeting of
the South Derbyshire Protectionists for special notice
we are influenced by no invidious motives, but because
it may be considered a fair average specimen of the
general lot, and partly because the clear and able
commentaries of an esteemed Contemporary, the
Derby and Chesterfield Reporter, have already exhie
bited the entire affa.r in its true light, and exposed the
secret machinery by which similar " demonstrations"
are got up, and the voice of public opinion (public
opinion indeed ! GOD save the mark !) is to make
itself heard throughout the length End breadth of

The Constitutionnel publishes the following semi-
official announcement of the intentions of the Govern-
ment with regard to La Plata :
" The most contradictory reports have teen in circula-
tion for the last few days with regard t) the intentions
of the Government on the question cf La Plate. We
are able to declare that the Government is, and -has
always been, firmly resolved to execute all a at it pro-
mised when it accepted the amendment of M. Rance, to
guarantee the honour and the interests of the Republic;
to seriously protect French subjects against every even-
tualtty that may arise, and at the same time to maintain
the independence of Monte Video, as stipulated in the
Convention of 1840. The negotiations opened by
Admiral Le Predour have nct been broken off; they will,
therefore, serve as the starting point for the now nego-
tiations, as the Government clearly explained to the As-

will furnish him with that moral liberty of which he
stands in need as negotict m. This arrangement—
simply protective of the interests of French subjects and
completely independent of the eventuality of a rupture--
will give that weight to the negotiations which they
bef )re wanted; and, on the other ra,n4, if they should
be broken off, these forces will serve to occupy the city
of Monte Video and the island of Martin-Garcia in order
to maintain the status quo until ulterior decision. M.

long resided in Spanish America, where he successfully
filled the functions c f Charge d'Affaires under very
difficult c'rcutnstances, has been sent out to Admiral Le

and is prepared to complete, in case of need, by verbal
explanations, the expression of the iee.t which has in-

!corvettes, brigs, gun-boats and steamers. Admiral
LE PREDOUR is to keep command of the stetion.
There are at present in the Plata one frigate, two
corvettes, ar.d a brig.
The same journal contains the following attack on
General DE LAMORICIERE, who, it will be remem-
bered, proposed to vest in the Assembly the exclusive
right of pardoning the insurgents of June :
" General Lamoriciere has presented an amendment
to the Assembly which is an open violation cf Ai Vele
55 of the Constitution. That article, as is well known,
gives the President of tl e Republic the right to grant
pardon after the previous advice of the Council of State.
The General wishes to inveit the Assembly with the
exclusive right cf setting at liberty the 468 insurgents
of June still in custody. This attempt has caused deep
surprise in a twofold point of view. No one, in the first
place, is ignorant that General Lamoriciere belongs to
that fraction of the Assembly which professes an extreme
almiration for the Constitution. In the next place we
cannot comprehend how a man who, only a few days
since represented the President of the Republic at St.
Petcrsburgh, could make the first use of his Parliamen-
tary initiative to bring forward a proposition which is
an act of mistrust of the President. The small number
cf votes given to it is a significtiti; o mark of tte opinion
of the Assembly."
The report on the Bill relative to the civil list
and private property of the ex-King Louis Pninirral
and his family has been distributed to the Assembly.
It appears from the report that at the time of the re-
volution, on the 24th of February, the debts of the
KING amounted to 33 millions cf francs, but the
value of his property, independently of his claims on
the civil list, was 100 millions, supposing that it
could be realised at once at nominal prices. The
amount already paid to the creditors by the sales
which have been effected, and the money in band
from the civil list, is 8,900,000 f. The Cenunittee are
unanimously of opinion that, in order that the liqui-
dation may be continued without an improper sacri-
fice of property, the liquidator,' should be allowed till
the 31st of December to complete the settlement.
The Committee propose to maintain temporarily the
decree of sequestration on the property of the ex-
Royal Family, with the exception of that of the Duke
D'AUMALE and the Prince DE JOIaVILLE, indepen-
dently of the &talon of August 7, 1830.

second time by a large majority, notwithstanding

The Estafette of -SUnday publishes the following
important communication :
‘= A frequei t exct ange of dispatches has for some
time been going on bi- twecn the Cabinets of Vienna,
and Turin and the French Government. These dL-
patches relate, it is said, t ) a negotiation cf high im-
portance. Austria, whose financial r, sources are en.
tirely exhausted, and who foresees fresh insune:tional
movements in Lombardy, would be very glad to relieve
terself from such dangerous eventualities, and at the
same time replenish her exhausted coffers. In conse-
quence Austria feels disposed to cede to Piedmont a
considerable portion of Lombardy for a large indemnity.
Should t'lis project succeed, the boundaries of Sardinia
would be puehcd to Cie Mincio. The French and
English Governments have received communications on
this subject from Austria and Sardine, with a request
thet they would give us their opinion what sum Sardinia
ought to pay for the ceded territory ?"

of this day, with very long extracts from the intro-
duction to the fourth edition of the two first volumes

speak of an intention on the part of the French
Government to contract a loan. We can assure the
public that the Government is quite decided not to
contract one."

The object of this movement is to restore the impe-

by Mr. henry Berkeley, M.P. for the city of Bristol, and
was moat graciously received Mr. Berkeley called
upon Mr. Fisher to state the case, and he was ably fol-
lowed by Mr. Jordan. Mr. Dunlop also addressed his
Lordship. In the course of Mr. Fisher's remarks he
took occasion to say that he had lost some thousands,
but he thought less of that than of the ruin which he
knew hung over others, and ho hoped his Lordship
would give them something more than a cold Ministerial
reply. Mr. Berkeley having urged on his Lordship's
attention the strong moral case brought before him, Lord
Palmerston kindly, and laughingly, assured Mr. Fisher
that he should have something more than a cold Mi-
nhterial reply; and, after a lucid statement, pledged
himself to give every assistance he could with propriety
to the merchants embarked in the Chilian loan, for the
honourable adjustment of their claims.

DEATH OF SIR FELIX BOOTH, BART.—An in-
quest was held at Brighton' at twelve o'clock on Satur-
day, to inquire into the death of Sir Felix Booth. It
appeared that the deceased had arrived at the York
Hotel, Brighton, on Thursday afternoon. He went to
bed in his usual health at half-past ten o'clock. About
three o'clock in the morning he was attacked with a fit
of coughing, which disturted Mr. Laurence, a friend c f
the deceased, who slept in the adjoining room. Mr.
Laurence immediately went to the bedside of the de-
ceased, who died in about three minutes. Mr. Gavin
Pocock, surgeon, gave evic?ence as to his being the usual
medical attendant of the deceased, and expressed his
opinion that Sir Felix had died from disease of the
heart. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. Sir
Felix was a WI althy distiller, and served the office of
Sheriff cf London in 1828 1829; he was also distin-
guished for bis munificence, having presented Sir James
Ross with 20,0001. to enable him to fit out his Polar
expedition. In 1834 he was creatcci a baronet, with
special remainder, in default of male issue, to his brother,
Mr. William Booth, of Roydon-lodge, Essex. The de-
ceased baronet is succeeded by his nephew, John
William Booth, born in 1805.

THE RAILWAY BRIDGE ACROSS THE TWEED.
Much apprehension has lately been excited for the
safety of the temporary structure across the Tweed, lest
by a sudden thaw in the river, au accumulation cf ice
might effect its destruction; but we are happy to state
that any danger cf such a result is now, fortunately,. re-
moved. Thee fears attained their climax on Wedne--
day evening, when about four o'clock in the afternoon,
the ice began to float down the river in large masses,
accumulating on the upper side of the bridge, and in the
course of about three hours an immense body of ice was
formed, extending nearly three-quarters of a mile up the
river, and varying from three to six fret in thickness.
Of course the utmost suspense was felt, the labours of
the men employed to clear a passage being utterly fruit-
less. At length, aoout ten P.M., when the tide began to
ebb, and there being a considerable " fresh" in the river,
the ice began to break up with great noise, and gradua'ly
cleared for itself a panage between the timbers without
the least injury to the bridge. The whole danger is,
therefore, now happily removed.—Bertviek Warder.

tion that this gifted vocalist is 'going over to America,

1110.NEy COMMERCIAL NEWS.
LL TY, QUARTER 7'o 711 !LEP.
The sales of Cotten Liverpocl on Saturday were

Upen the state of the Iron-trade in Staffordshire,
Ai is's Birmingham Gazette of tc-drey states :-
4` Some slight ietsrruption has been experienced in
this, as in most other trades, from the late severity of
the. to °ether; but hitherto a gratifying and determined
tireene's in price has been adhered to, and most of
works here are in full average activity. A:rears of or-
ders continue to he given out, and are now more readily
accepted, as there appears little doubt that O. a trade will
emain steady for the ensuing month. There exists by
no means any press of demand to sanctiou a hasty
adoption of higher figures, nor would the sitairnpt Ito
sustained; but 1: ere is, as We have be fere ttateel, a cht crful
feeling preiloreiner t regarding the future, that when the
proper t me arrives f.r any movement at all, it will be
one in the sight direction. There are circumstances
that eppareetly justify such an expectation, among
which are the arrival f considerable orders for rails, and
the favourable recurrence of public attention towards
railway itterests at home. With the prosperity and re-
verses of these wholezale market; fir its produce, the
ebbs aed flows cf the iron trade must continue inti-
mstely blended. Pieces of Wet: h merchant iron, which
vary with every treath, and so afford the earliest
indication c f any tendency to change, certainly occupy
an improving position, and Scotch pigs, although they
have safferw i a slight reaction in price during the last
fortnight, are again represented as being firmly .held.
A 3 a set off to this it must no', however, be forgotten
that in Scotland a large accumulation of stock is taking
place without any discernible outlet in view, and the
make of Welsh iron is pot tentuously increasing. This
is the most favourable 'account that a careful investiga-
tion of whet is pasting in our own district, and an im-
partial observation of daily transactions, el allies us to
offer. Upon what foundations those gaudy representa-
tions are supported that are continually issuing from a
ce tan portion of the press we cannot at all wide:-
stand."
There are a good many arrivals from abroad, as the
wind has changed, but neither the Australian, Mauri-
tius, and Rio receipts are so late as those which have
reached us by the Overland Mail and the American
steirears. With regard to the river Plate, merchants in
.the City consider that rather too much has been made
of Roses'. delay in officially receiving the En-
glish Minister, Mr. Set:therm Wo confess, how•
ever, that from cur distrust of the Dictator;
we cannot form very sanguine expectations in this re •
spent, and look upen nothing as certain in the foreign
policy of the Argentine Rqeiblie, except perhaps that
no permanently cordial relations are lit ely to t e lung
maintained with European states while the present Go-
vernor rules. Tao commercial markets, it has for some
time been augured, would be spoiled by a glut of goods,
and without any interf renco with the internal dealings,
the reaction that is advised as having occurred was only
regarded us a question ef tine.
The continental advices give us the Frankfort quota-
tions cf the 24th inst. The Austrian Metallies were
85 to f, and the Spanish Three per Cents. 29i. At
Berlin en the 23d inst. the Prussian Three -and-.;-'tall
per Cents. were 881. In the Amsterdam Bourse Dutch
Stocks did not vary much, and South American were
still in fair request.
The appreanbing meeting of Parliament is looked for
with greet interest in the City; and although the Pro-
trctionists are extiected to be rather more active, no
apprehension is entertained that they can seriously im-
pede the business of the country, provided the free traders
keep on the ales t.
We understand that private letters from Lisbon speak
confidently of the Count Them= maintaining his posi-
tion as First Minister of the Crown, whit+, from the
confidence reposed in him by the chairman and com-
mittee of the foreign bondholders, as evinced at the last
public meeting on his re-accession to power, cannot but
prove most satisfactory as regards their future interests
and prospcc!s. The Finance Minister, Senor Avila, is
proceeding with great tact and judgment in various fi-
nancial reforms tending to the re-establishment of the
credit of the country, as may be clearly instanced in the
rate of discount ou paper, which, on his Excellency's ac-
cession to the office was as high as 48 per cent., and by
the last accounts was reduced to 18 or 19.
The English Funds have been rather fluctuating
again, and although the anticipation a a favourable
speech from the Throne inspirits some of the Bulls, the
fear of a warm opposition from the Protectionists also
emboldens many of the speculators for a fall, in con-
junction with the appearance cf matters in Germany
and the Russian loar. There was a money sale by au
influential broker soon after the commencement of
business, and Consols, which were 96§ for
Transfer dropped to 96. Time bargains have been
effectel at 96 to and the more recent bargains have
been at 96-1- to t. Bank Stock is shout 205} to 207.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have lh en
quoted 981 to I, and the Three per Cents. 96i to *.
Exchequer-bills have been 58s. to 605., and India Bones
90s. to 935. pi emium.
A Most extensive business has been transacted in
Foreign Securities, principally the South American.
Perevian have risen to 72 and 73k, Equndor are
Imo.) ant at 4i , Grenada at WI and Venczuels at
32. Mexican have been 29i R, Buenos Ayres are a
littla !latter, being .53i to 64k. Portuguese !bur per
Conte. have realised 361 to 37, and Spanish Three per
Cents. 3ii.
The half-yearly balance sheets of the various railway
eompanies are being issued preparatory to the meetings.
The North Stafford is unsatistactury, and the London
shareholders seem ardently to desire an entire charge of
management, being.nut only greatly disappointed at the
traffic and the unrealization of the promises held out,
but likewise considering the expenditure to be excessive,
and the management defsetive, while the raising or fur-
ther capital is regarded as being likely to swamp the
whole interest on the original shares. The East Lance-
Aire report exhibits a profit of 45,113/. for the 6 months,
and it is proposed to pay. at the rate of 2 per cent. per
annum on the original 251. sharer, and to distribute
4,257/. on the quarter shares. To pay the 2 per cent.
above-referred to, 5,6.341. has to be taken from the re-
served fund. We are glad to see these aecounts signed
and approved by a public accountant.
The Railway Share Market is not quite so good
either in respect to prices or demand.
