THE TIMES.]
Petitions are incessantly in a coarse of presen-
tation against the Corn Laws. For ourselves we
are of opinion, that if nisters had proceeded
with banuilda zeal in th all of the circulating
medium to a state of solidity and purity, it would
have been less necessary to force this measure
upon them till next year, for the price of corn
would then, no doubt, have declined in a due
proportion. But when we consider the chicane
of foisting Bank of England small notes into
circulation in lieu of those of private bankers,
it is the more necessary to moderate the price
of corn by the admission of that of foreign
growth ; and, indeed, we think Ministers them-
selves pledged by the meaning, though not
by the words, of their own engagement, to ad-
mit the question during the present Session. It
is true, they said that it was not their intention
to introduce any measure on the subject till next
year : but,at the time they made that declaration,
they did not mean to allow of the fresh issue of
small notes of any description. The country was
told and assured by them, that no such issue
would take place. The change of their counsels
on that point, of course sets them at liberty, or
rather imposes it on them as a duty, to procure
what relief they can for the people in other re-
spects, and to counteract the injurious effects of
their own measure. Suppose no change had ever
been meditated or attempted with regard to the
Issue of small notes, would not Ministers in that
case have repealed the Corn Laws ? A change
has, Indeed, been attempted with regard to the
paper currency, but was no sooner attempted than
the attempt vas defeated, end the measure
fed, by an issue of Bank of England small paper.
Does not, their, the obligation to review the Corn
Laws return with the return of small paper?--
We write these things in some doubt as to their
efficacy upon the conduct of certain persons, but
with the utmost confidence in their truth and jug-

t!ce. it is absurd to talk of a free trade, while
the prohibition rests upon the first necessary of
life. To render foreign corn subject to a graduat.
ed system of Natation would he hard enough : to
prohibit its introduction is barbarous in policy,
and cruel in morals.

Business or► tie Stock Exchanges yesterday
meriting was in a state of stagnation, owing to
the uncertainty that speculators are in, by reason
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer not having
brought forward the financial statement of the
year. The report yesterday was, that Mr. Ho.
Wilson wished to see the effect of the advance of
the Bank to the commercial Interest before he
brought forward his Budget, which, it is said,
will cot►tein a proposal for funding of Exchequer
and a Loan for the payment of the Bank.
The early bargains in Consols were done at 761,
and after some trifling fluctuations they closed at
761 i. There was the same stagnation in the
ether Stocks anti in the India Bonds. Exchequer
Bills were watched ►with some interest ; they were,
at par 2 prem. Money on the Stock Exchange
was at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum.--The
Foreign Market as well as the English was with-
out interest, and the transactions in it very
limited. Colombian Bonds were 47k, Mexican
tX per Cents. MI, Russian Bonds 74“, Greek
ditto 17{ is, and Spanish ditto lol.—We have
been favoured with the imerusal of several pri-
vate letters from the manufacturing districts,
which certainly are of a lees gloomy character
Anil those ►we have recently seen from the
country.

reduction of 5,000t,,and moved an amendment to
that effect, which was negatived on a division by
a majority of 116 to O. Thu Army Estimates
having been gone through, Sir Henry Ilardinge
proceeded to move the Ordnattre Estimates. It
was curious enough to see the honourable mem-
ber, in the course of his statement, addressing
himself to Mr. Hume fadiVitillaity, as if he
apprehended opposition from that gentleman
only, and felt confident trf support in every
ether quarter. Before he had proceeded to move
the several items, Mr. Heron!, alluding to the
postponement of the Budget, complained of the
voting of such large sums of money before the
Mouse was possessed of the means of knowing
