Hon. ROBERT LYTTON'S NEW PO EMS.-2 vols., crown Bvo.,

with Portrait, 245.
CHRONICLES and CHARACTERS. By the
Hon. ROBERT LYTTON (OWEN MEREDITH). "We
aro happy to observe that the work before us is no hasty or
passing contribution to our poetical literature. The plan of it
was conceived many years ago, and its execution has been
elaborated, the poet tells us, during seven years of careful think-
ing. It appeals only to serious, earnest, and discriminating cri-
ticism, and is worthy of that patient perusal which its author
claims as a preliminary to any final Judgment. There is no
masked atheism hero, no brutal passion veiled under the thin
disguise of elaborate scholarship, ne curious raking amid the
dead and fo3tid embers of forgotten lusts. In all these respects
`Chronicles and Characters' seta noble example to our younger
generation of poets. The author has set himself seriously to
improve and cultivate his rare gifts by conscientious study and
deliberate carefulness, and he has presented the fruit of them to
the world in a series of calm, connected pictures, so arranged as
to illustrate one of the noblest conceptions which could possibly
occupy a poet's pen."—Macmillan's Magazine. Chapman and
Hall, 193, Piccadilly.

SATISFACTORY LETTER-.

5, Wood-street, Millbank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867.
Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength
to the voice.

You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,
Dean's Verger, Westminster Abbey.
To Mr. Powell.

THE QUESTION OF TAXES.

It is common for public speakers who advocate the vio-
lation of the nation's faith by insisting on local taxation of
bonds, their payment in greenbacks, dm, to designate the
bondholders as " rich," as " privileged," &c., and also to
stir up the West against the East because of the presump-
tion that the East holds an undue proportion of the public
debt. All this is mere demagogism and wilful perversion
of truth. With the exception of banks and savings insti-
tutions there are not many large holders of Government
Bonds, the great bulk being held by the people, not the
capitalists.

EFFORTS AT FUNDING.

In October, 1865, I was requested by Mr. M'Oulloch to
Present to him in writing my views on the funding of the
public debt, the resumption Of specie payment, &c., &c.
I did so, and at the same time submitted these views to
Senators Fessenden, Sherman, and others. Mr. M'Culloch
had many able advisers, but his views in the main coin-
cided with mine, and when the time for action arrived
Senator Sherman prepared and introduced a bill satisfac-
tor) to the Secretary. This bill was opposed from unex-
pected quarters, and the Senator, after modifying it
greatly, deemed it best to postpone it, owing to the in-
creasing excitement in political matters.

I have no doubt that the people, the masses, are fully
able to absorb all our debt. Of course a portion will
always be held by banks, and another portion abroad, but
even the eight or nine hundred millions thus held would
be quickly absorbed by the people of our growing and
prosperous land, if they had the option to take it. I believe
also that the rate of five per cent., free from taxation,
would be perfectly satisfactory, but at present and within
the next ten years, no lower rate of interest than this will
fix the
who
permanently in the hands of that class of
people ought to hold it, as it would be the most safe
and legitimate investment for widows, orphans, trusts,
estates, mechanics, farmers, saving funds, &c., &c. Being
guaranteed by us all, the rate would be a fair return, and
much better for this class of investors than a larger rate
derived from greater risks, which• latter ought only to be
taken by the capitalists and active business men of the
country.

GOLD AND SILVER IN THE COUNTRY.

From the best sourcas of information I have the im-
pression that our country contains at least two hundred
and fifty millions more gold and silver coin and bullion
than we had at the beginning of 1861, and I believe all
that is wanted now to insure speedy and safe resumption
after the completion of the funding of the 7-30's is to fix
the day.

MISTAKES OP THE PAST.

There can be no question that the above happy results
would have followed the prompt passage and execution
of such an act; and also, that the present propositions to
tax the Government Bonds, to pay them off in greenbacks,
&c., would not have been thought of. Many beneficial
results would have followed the adoption of the original
bill two years since, namely, the saving of about 20 million
dollars of interest per annum, the wider dissemination of
the loan among the masses, and the removal of the debt
from its present injurious competition with railroad, mer-
cantile, mining, manufacturing, and all the other vital in-
terests of the country ; for, when specie payments had
once been resumed, and the 5 per cent. interest received
by the bondholder was worth no more than the 5 per cent.
interest received from a mortgage or other sources of in-
come, it is manifest that there would be better opportuni-
ties for our struggling railroads and manufacturing and
other interests to borrow money from the banks and capi-
talists. For these reasons I urged the necessity of Os
prompt fundirgof the debt, and return to specie payments,
and I now deeply regret that, at the risk of still further
attacks upon my personal motives, I did not then use
greater exertion to secure the adoption of these plans.

SJA7E OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, April 14..--The firm position of the
cotton market keeps yarns for export in a corres-
ponding position, but this causes a limited business.
For first-class 12's in bundle, quotations are 15d.
to 16d. per lb.; for 20's ditto, 160. ; for 30's, 17d.
to 18kd• ; and for 40's, 17id. per lb. In home trade
yarns only a moderate business doing. The firm-
ness of spinners tends to firmness in the quotations
of manufacturers, and the prices asked by sellers of
cloth generally are pretty firmly adhered to. There
is, however, little appearance of business. Buyers
are not offering for India fabrics, and though thero
is no appearance of weakness or despondency we
have had an exceedingly small amount of transac-
tions, either of a bona fide character or for specula-
tion. Messrs. Slagg and Co. report of the cloth
market :—" Business has been suspended during
the holiday week, and is hardly resumed to-day.
Quotations are firmly adhered to, while buyers seem
quite disinclined to, operate, and, though free from
any symptom of weakness or despondency, our mar-
ket closes with very little business."
CARDIFF, 13th.--Some steadiness begins to be
evinced in the steam coal trade, and business upon
the whole is gradually becoming more satisfactory.
Merchants and shippers have several orders on their
books, principally for the French markets and the
Fast; and from the other foreign markets there is
about an average demand. Coastwise trade con-
tinues remarkably dull, the purchases of West of
England and Irish houses being considerably below
the usual quantity.

LEEDS, 14th.--There was only a small atten3ance
of buyers in the cloth halls to-day, and the markets
were quiet, as is common at a festive season like
Easter. The purchases were miscellaneous, and no
large bulk of any class of goods was sold. Tweeds,
meltons, diagonals, and ordinary plain goods, with
some fancy coatings, were sold in fair proportions,
and a few transactions in heavy goods were noted.
There was no repor.table change in prices, which,
though firm, the manufacturers allege to be too
low, considering the cost of wool and other raw
material.

ROCHDALE, 13th.—There was only a poor at-
tendance of buyers in the flannel market to-day,
and they purchased sparingly of both plain and
fancy goods. Prices were very firm, those of wool
having still an upward teudency. There was no
change in the quiet demand for Yorkshire goods,
nor were transactions in wool large.

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.

If thought more prudent to provide for contingencies by
arranging for a temporary foreign loan, or by authorizing
the Treasury to pay interest on deposits of gold, either of
these plans would provide all that would be required. 'the
question of resuming specie payments is to my mind very
simple, and than the present there is no more favourable
time for fixing the day, say twelve or eighteen months
ahead. When this desirable object shall be accomplished, the
payment in gold of the original 5-20 loan can be commenced
by providing from the sales of a new consolidated five per
cent. funding loan all that may be needed. It will not be
necessary to provide for the whole $514,000,000 at once.
The loan was issued in series of about $100,000,000 each,
called first, second, third, fourth series, &c. The holders
of the first series can be first notified and paid off. The
chances are that very few holders would desire payment,
but that all, or nearly all, would voluntarily fund into the
new and longer 5 per cent. bonds. This would especially
he the case if the new loan should be so popularized that
there would be a competition for it, a new class of pur-
chasers taking all that was not promptly abSorbed by the
holders of the old loan. I believe that not $50,000,000 of
gold would be called for in making. the whole payment
and exchange of the $514,000,000. The same process
could be applied to the other issues of 5-20's as fast as the
Government option matured. How sad then, in view of
the very simplicity of the solution of this whole subject,
that prominent men all over the country should endeavour
to make a political question of it; and saddest of all that
any of those who sustained the cause of the country, and
upheld its credit during the dark years of the rebellion,
should now give the weight of their position or character
to any of those " greenback" schemes.

POLICE LATTELLIGENCE.-TILIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF TOBACCO.—William
Ryley and William Murphy were again placed at
the bar, charged with stealing 30 bales of tobacco,
the property of the Great Western Railway
Company.

The tobacco, it will be recollected, was stolen
from a quantity entrusted to the railway company
for delivery.

The prisoners were fully committed for trial.

WESTMINS rE R.

ELEMENTS OF POLITE PARLANCE.—Henry Wal-
brook, a young man, was charged with assaulting
John Petet, a 'waiter at Mr. Brown's, the Royal
Standard Pavilion.

Complainant, in a very abbreviated dialect, in-
formed the magistrate that defendant came in with
two others last night, and was served with a pot of
beer, but being found drunk and noisy, Mr. Brown
took the beer away and gave him his money back.
He was then told to go and would not, and was put
out, when defendant struck complainant.

Arnold--What did he do iu the house?

Witness—Gov'ner saw Noisy wanted to go up
stairs. Gov'ner wouldn't let him. Wanted him go
away, but would'nt.

Mr. Arnold—l don't know that ever I heard a
greater economy of syllables.

Joseph Tanne: was called for defendant to show
that there was no absolute assault, but a sort of
general scuffle.

Mr. Arnold thought he remembered his having
been there as a witness before, and that he did not
then describe himself as now—an omnibus con-
ductor.

Witness—l'll bet you a pound to a shilling I
did.

Mr. Arnold continued—What do you say?
Witness—l'll bet you a pound to a shilling I
did.

Mr. Arnold—That is not a proper way to ad-
dress me.

Another witness decJared that something was
said about laying a "quid" upon sonic passing
event, and the word " quid" was explained to
be a sovereign. It was further deposed
that when Mr. Brown took the beer away
he told defendant and his friends that if he :lame
the next day he could " lush " him to a pot, which
was duly interpreted to mean a " treat."
Mr. Arnold commented upon those flowers of
eloquence, and acquitted the defendant of an inten-
tional assault, but fined him ss. for being drunk.

At Mark-lane the attendance was moderate, and, with
fair arrivals, trade was steady.
Englibh wheat moved off quietly at the rates of Monday

FRANCE.

PARIS, April 15.

On the occasion of laying the foundation stone of
a church at Rambouillet yesterday M. Baroche, the
Minister for Public Worship, made a speech, in the
course of which he announced that a plan for the
construction of parochial roads would be laid before
the Legislative Body at its next sitting. M. Ba-
roche observed that this plan, which will occupy the
finances of the State and of the communes for a cer-
tain number of years, is essentially a work of peace,
and would never have been undertaken by a prudent
Government at a period when peace was not assured,
or when war appeared imminent or even only pro-
bable. M. Baroche concluded his speech as fol-
lows The eagerness displayed by the Emperor
to hasten the execution of the works is, therefore,
an additional proof that he desires peace, and has
no reason to believe in war. Yes, gentlemen, the
Emperor desires peace, an honourable peace worthy
of a great nation. France, confiding in her own
strength, is prepared for all eventualities. By the
development of her military organisation she does
not seek war, and we are convinced that no one
entertained any idea of declaring war against
her. The peace of Europe will not be disturbed.
Do not believe, therefore, in those cries of alarm,
the talk of war, which either error or malevolence
reproduce with a kind of periodicity, and devote
yourselves in safety to the labours of agriculture
and of industry."

PREDICTION VERIFIED.

At the close of the first 5-20 loan, I ventured to predict
that no other 0 per cent. gold loan would be offered at par
by the Government. Up to this hour the prediction has
been verified, and I am equally confident that no such
breach of faith as would be involved by the payment, of
the 5-20 loan in greenbacks will ever occur.
