that portion of it in which he sneers at the Foreign
Secretary for, as he intimates, cringing to the Unite
States and bullying the Greek Government. The
circumstance upon which this disgraceful accusation
was founded had been given already in the police
reports, and hence we might reasonably have expected
that the Noble Lord would have refrained from dis-
torting facts so peculiarly notorious. Lord JoHN
MANNERS inquired why her MAJESTY'S Foreign
Secretary had not demanded reparation from the
republican Government at Washington for the seizure
and imprisonment of a free-born British subject,
a negro, at Charleston? He asserted that the parti-
culars of the outrage had been authenticated before
Mr. YARDLEY, the metropolitan police magistrate, and,
maintaining that a black sailor was as deserving of
protection as a "wandering Jew," insinuated that
Lord PALMERSTON had been bold to the weak, and
obsequious to the powerful. Now, either Lord JOIIN
MANNERS was ignorant of the subject upon
which he was speaking, or he was advancing
wilful mis-statements ; in either case, his con-
duct being flagrant for its culpability. Had
the Noble Lord taken the trouble to inquire further
into the particulars of the case he was adducing, he
would have discovered that so far from these facts
having been proved before Mr. YARDLEY, exactly
the reverse was the case—it having been clearly de-
monstrated before that magistrate, upon a subsequent
examination, that this negro seaman was no free-born
British subject at all !—that he was, on the contrary,
a subject of the United States Republic! !—and that
so far from the authorities at Charleston having ex-
ceeded their power over him in their treatment they
might not only have thrust him into prison, but, ac-
cording to the laws of their country, have sold him
publicly as a slave in the market place !! ! So much
for the accuracy and appositeness of the attack le-
velled against Viscount PALMERSTON by the Noble
Lord the chivalrous leader of the Young Englanders
Equally explicit, manly, and magnanimous were the
aspersions hurled against the Foreign Secretary last
evening by the Honourable and ingenuous Baronet
the Member for the Borough of Southwark.
Alluding to the circumstance of Lord PALMERSTON
having demanded compensation for the injury done
to Don PACIFICO, Sir WILLIAM MOLE3WORTLI Main-
tained that henceforth, according to the same prin-
ciple, " if an English traveller were to be robbed by
Italian banditti, the Secretary of State for Foreig❑
Affairs would be entitled to demand compensation for
him in the event of the Italian Government not being
able to capture the banditti, and restore the property
of the traveller ; and consequently it would follow re-
ciprocally, that if a foreigner were to have his packet
picked i❑ London, the Government of that
foreigner would be entitled to demand com-
pensation from the British Government, if the
thief were not caught and the property re-
stored." Consequently—nothing of the sort ! A
petty larceny committed in the streets by an indivi-
dual pickpocket, is in no degree comparable to a riot by
an infuriated mob, led on by the relative of one of the
Chief Ministers of the Government. Against such
disgraceful arguments as these we protest with all the
energy of our indignation. And we doubt not but that
the sympathy felt by the people of England for a bold,
and patriotic, and manly, and magnanimous statesman
like Lord PALMERSTON must be materially enhanced
when it is seen with what virulent hatred he is being
hunted down by his antagonists, and shamefully
stabbed in the back by the most odious misrepresen-
tations. All these extraordinary and unprecedented
proceedings, we doubt not, will exercise a powerful
influence over the more generous and independent
Members in the House of Commons when the hour
arrives for this important debate to be consummated
by a division.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken for ex-
port and on speculation. The market was firm, at full
prices.—Railway Shares were quiet, but steady.
The arrivals of foreign Wheat in Mark-lane to-day
are 16,420 qrs., and of Oats 12,690 qrs.
In the Foreign markets there has been no feature
this week. A steady demand has existed for Sugar,
and Coffee within the last two days is firmer. In
Indigo there have been a fair number of sales privately,
and Cotton has been at fuller prices. Wool cuntiuues
to be taken at full rates at the auctions in progress, and
Tea is rather dearer.

A very encouraging statement as to the position and
prospects of Canada was made yesterday at the meeting
of the proprietors of the Canada Company. The
excellent harvest of last year, the full prices
obtained, and the general increase of trade
have been powerful iu restoring to British
North America a portion of the prosperity which it
had previously and temporarily lost, owing to the altera-
tion iu our tariff. In a country like Canada nothing
can be more important than that the agriculturists
should be successful in their pursuits. They are the
strength of the colony, and a fair index to their posi-
tion may always be found in the receipts of the Canada
Company, dependent us that is upon the amounts ob-
tained from sales or rentals of land. During the present
year, and to the 6th iust., the amount paid on these
accounts was 22,2401., or an increase of 9,8411.
over the corresponding period of 1849. The
land sold this year is 3,608 acres against 1,751 acres,
and leases have been granted of 34,626 acres where last
year to the same date only 24,580 acres were taken.
The Governor of the company affirmed that the social
affairs of Canada were seldom more prosperous, that
the settlers were doing extremely well, mid that if the Act
of reciprocity with the United States was brought into
force, there was every reason to believe that the value of
produce would be fully supported. The excellence of
the leasing system, with the option of purchase, was
working to the mutual advantage of the settlers and the
company.
Hamburgh advices of Tuesday notice a further decline
of in the rate of exchange on London, viz., to 13 74.
Not much was doing in bills. The Money Market was
still rather light.
It is stated in letters from Cologne, that all hope was
lost of getting the Belgian Government to accept the
naodifications proposed in the treaty of September, and
consequently this treaty might be considered as de-
nounced.

At Amsterdam on the 26th instant, the Dutch Secu-
rities were firm. Spanish Bonds were rather lower.
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have re-
ceived advices of further shipments of specie and bullion
to the aggregate amount of 19,625 dollars from Mazat-
lan and Guaymas, for the payment of dividends.
In the English Funds there is the same want of ani-
mation, and with scarcely any change in prices. Consols
have been 951 to 96, after having closed yesterday at
96 to 1. It is felt that when ultra-liberals, like Sir
%V. Molesworth, desert their principles and op-
pose a humane and enlightened policy abroad, the
extent of the Ministerial majority may be lets than
could be desired. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 97i and the Three per Cents. 961
Bank Stock has been marked 2081 to 209 i. Excne-
quer-bills have been quoted 675. to 70s. premium.
This is settling day in the Foreign Market, and
has led to some fluctuation. Spanish Three per Cents.
have been 38k, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 3.11.
Mexican Bonds have ranged from 29i to 3011. Buenos
Ayres Stock has been at 55.

Shares are scarcely so good.
