Ministers, the Home Minister (the Marquis of PENA.

views on the subject. General NARVAEZ is to be

says :
" After all that England has suffered and toiled to
maintain her public faith, there never will be a question
of the inviolability of her engagements."
With this fact in her favour, and the impressive
commentary supplied by the contrary course of cer-
tain continental Monarchies in Europe, and repu-
diating States on the other 'side of the Atlantic, no
thing is more natural than that capital for safe in-
vestment should flow hitherward ; and in such plenty
as proportionably to raise the price of the securities
in which it has been determined to invest it.
We will now endeavour to answer the question of
our Contemporary, as to why the " Three per Cents.
should not rise twelve per cent. more in price in the
years before us ?" That is, supposing the country
is really to be blessed, according to his prayer, with
an indefinite prolongation of the PEEL premiership
and policy.
It is evident that nothing would have sustained us
through the awful crisis of the last war —that no
monetary system would have sufficiently represented
the wonderfully developed resources of the country, but
the now deprecated paper issues of the Bank of England
and our other banks of-issue. The conviction, on the
one hand, of the immeasurably superior amount of
real wealth, and the substance of capital, in the United
Kingdom over its funded and unfunded debt—on the
other hand, the reliance entertained by one class of
the community in Great Britain on the moral pro-
bity of the other—gave confidence to all in the
general solvency of those sources (especially the supe-
rior ones) from whence the paper representatives
of that capital and wealth were diffused. Public
credit, however subject to chimerical alarms occa-
sionally, was never substantially shaken, from 1797
till 1819, when PEEL'S Currency Bill shook it
throughout its whole relations. If Sir ROBERT
really proposes to close up the joint-stock banks
now existing, by giving to the Bank of Eng-
land the exclusive privilege of being a bank
of issue ; if he will mate his enormous blun-
der of 1819 with a still more rash and stupendous
folly in 1844 ; if he have determined on crippling
the gigantic energies of our commerce by continuing
to contract its limbs and circumscribe their action
with the golden fetters of his currency plan ; he will
assuredly not remain in power as many months after
Easter as our kind-hearted Contemporary speculates
upon years.

recommended the conferring of the above titles, and
that Louis PHILIPPE has sent the cordon of the

The Miguelites are said to be taking advantage of
the confusion into which public affairs have been
thrown. Pamphlets have been published and circu-
lated advocating the restoration of MIGUEL to the
Throne of Portugal. It is these writings which have
probably caused the above decree, which totally an •
nihilates anything like freedom of discussion.
The Diario of the 30th ult., gives a statement of
the expenditure in the different departments during
the preceding month. Among the items of payment
the following have some interest here :
" Payment of the Duke of Victoria (Lord Wel-
lington), for the year 1843, 7- contos and 200
milrees." " Ditto of the Count of Cape St. Vincent
(Commodore Napier), second half-year of 1843, falling
due in January, 1 conto 200 milrees." The official list
of pensioners and public officers of 1841 specifies the
particulars as to date and amount. The Duke of Wel-
lington had a pension of 8 contos a year, payable in
island money, conferred on him by a decree of the 3d of
May, 1811, in sterling 1,6201: per annum, amounting in
the aggregate for the last 33 years to the sum of 53,4601.
sterling. The pension of the Count Cape St. Vincent
was conferred by a decree of the 25th of April, 1835,
2 contos 400 milrees, say 5401. sterling.
The pension of Lord Beresford of 16 contos a year (in
island money) was conferred by a decree of the 13th
February, 1824, in sterling 3,240/. a year. For several
years the pension of, and the pay likewise of, his Lord-
ship, as a general officer, of 666 milrees a month, fell
into arrears, payment having been pressed for 40840'

all his claims up to January, 1841, were settled, when
.his Lordship received 96,0001. in bills, which were duly
paid. The pay and pension again fell into arrears, which
the Government are now paying off by monthly instal-
ments. The amount of the pension for a period bf 29
years, would be about 64,8001., less of late years by the
amount of the decimal tax.

Easter Monday being observed as a close holiday
at Paris, very few of the journals were published on
that day, and these contain no domestic news of much
importance. In the Courrier Francais, however, we
find intelligence from _Constantinople to the 20th
ult., which_ shows that the Government of the Porte
had at length listened to the advice—and, we be-
lieve, also threats—of the English and French Am-
bassadors. The answer of the Porte was given on
the 19th, and the Government promises, in the most
positive manner, no longer to inflict the punishment
of death on renegades. As to the religious law, no
mention is made of it. The Porte also promises to
treat Christians kindly. The two Ambassadors, how-
ever, do not consider these concessions satisfactory,
and they demand, in addition, that renegades shall
not be got rid of by poison or by any other under-
hand practices. It was added, that though capital
punishment would no longer be inflicted, renegades,
however, would be condemned to the galleys for life.
Nearly the same account appears in the journal de
Frankfort, with the exception that the Porte had not
announced its intention of inflicting the punishment
of the galleys on renegades. Another journal of
Monday states that letters had been received at
Constantinople, which give frightful accounts
of the excesses committed by the Albanian
troops in Thessally, Macedonia, and Bul-
garia, against the Christians. These atrocities
are caused by the fanatical hatred of Mussulmans
against the Christian races.
Accounts from St. Petersburgh of the 19th March,
state that the EMPEROR would proceed to Vienna in
the month of May, and that he bad given up all
thoughts of repairing to Circassia to superintend the
movements of the army. The Cologne Gazette pub-
lishes a letter from Berlin, of the 30th ult., which
contradicts the report that the treaty of extradition,
in the case of deserters, had been renewed between
Russia and Prussia. The French funds continued
firm.

The transactions in Cotton at LiVerpool yesterday
were to a fair extent, the sales being 5,000 bales, in-
eluding 1,000 on speculation. The market was firm at
previous rates.—French Railway Shares continued in
excellent request, but there was not much doing in other

There are advises to a late date from Buenos Ayres
this morning, but the intelligence is merely of local
interest. if our information be correct, there are some
grounds for the belief that a modified and beneficial
tariff will be passed shortly in favour of British manu-
factures.
We are without any colonial arrivals this morning.
The circular of the Messrs. Railton and Son, of Man-
chester, thus advises the public :
" At a stirring time like the present, when persons
professing to act as agents or brokers, attach their names
to Parliamentary contracts, it is essential for the public
to learn from every professional agent or broker, whether
such be the case or not. At the present time, also, we
would guard the public against the effect of forcing
shares to a premium, which, in too many cases, is liable
to mislead the unwary ;. whilst the first adventurers not
unfrequently secure themselves--even before an Act is
obtained—against the discounts that generally follow.
An unsuspecting individual may readily be influenced
to his own detriment, by a mistaken confidence
in the advice he receives. The violence of the
spirit now on foot, aided by the instrumentality
of jobbers, cannot fail eventually to playe deluded
persons in a position they neither contemplated
nor expected ; while others (who never at first intended
it, being induced to sell through excessive premiums),
may turn to account additionally the discounts that
ensue. Thus circumstanced, persons having to do with
railway property, either as buyers or sellers, require the
utmost circumspection, while this state of things con-
tinues, to keep their interests in a right line. There
has been a good business during the last week, parti-
cularly in small stock, and prices have been well sup-
ported ; also for Eastern Counties, Birmingham and
Gloucester, and Manchester and Birmingham?'
The money market is is all buoyancy, and the invest-
ments of a portion of the dividends, added to the con-
tinued Savings Bank purchases, leads to a rise in
everything. Consols have touched 1001 er to

per Cents. to 1001 to 100-1.
Shares generally are a little flat, though not expected
to continue so. The French lines are firmer.

" DRINE."—Mr. Justice Erskine, at the Salisbury
Assizes, when sentencing a gentleman to six months'
hard labour, for a _crime committed through strong
drink, declared that 99 out of every 100 criminal cases
were from the same causes. Judge Coleridge, at the
Oxford Assizes, said he never knew a case brought be-
fore him which was not directly or indirectly connected
with intoxicating liquors. Judge Patteson, at the Nor-
wich Assizez, said to the grand jury, " If it were not for
this drinking, you and I should have nothing to do."
