LONDON:
TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2, 1844.

=~--

The commencement of a new year naturally sug-
gests a retrospect of the old, and prompts us, with a
mysterious impulse, which is one of the most irre-
pressible inflaences of human action, to speculate on
the future—by the. waning light of that which has
just sunk, after its predecessors, into the abyss of
time. But the phases of human institutions are so
Changeful in our days, that to reason on what is likely
next to happen, merely on the analogy of what has
already occurred, might prove as bootless a labour as
to art fte that the. present system of our currency can
he maintained until 18!38, seeing that it has been up-
held ever since 1819 ; as if the fact that it has been
endured for a (Flirter of a century last pas', were
sifflielent warranty for clncluding that it will be
submitted to for a quarter of a century now next
ensuing. History itself is fast losing her former
distinctive privilege of teaching by example. Who
will undertake to predict the fact, or the degree, of
the settlement which the troubled afi.,irs of the
young States in the New World will be likely- to
receive within twelve. months from this day ? What
is there in: the prosperous though tardy progress
and consolidating resources in the empire of _Brazil,
minjr sol'aylyasi4 of favourable expectations
on behalf of Mexico or Peru, of Chili or of Central
America,. of,,D)livia or the Argentine Republic?
The Unites? States themselves have aceiiiNd, in the
course of seventy years of national independence, the
attituqc;, the functions, the commerce, the political
authority and foreign influence of a powerful maritime
empire. IYHt who shall answer for the continuous
development of this strength, or even for the main-
tenance of•its political integrity, considering the active
elements of disunion which are incorporated in its
niatt,ri:ll system by the Opposing interests of the
southern and the northern members of her Federation;
the presence of an enormous and discontented slave
population in its finest and most vulnerable terri-
tories; and the almost ridiculous laxity and feebleness
of its domestic government, heightened, as the spec-
kick of this weakness is, by the absurd and arrogant
tone it assumes in negotiating with forcign Cabinets ?

In the Old World do we find any more hopeful
principles of permanency, abroad? It is not without
pain that we confess to the negative. If we look to
France or to Spain, to Italy or to Germany, to
Poland o 1 lo Naples, we perceive that elements of
disturbance are at work, varied, perhaps, with the
:ocality, in intensity, but still, of Uncertain character,'
and unascertained modes of 'operation. In France
the erQrgy and vigour of the reigning Monarch, a id
the sagacity of his Ministers, have mot . Leen able to
prevent an extensive and organised manifestation of
personal attachment—not te,Say adhesion-40 the re-
presentative of the exiled family, over the dismantled
throne and broken sceptre of whose last Sovereign
boo's PlifiraPPE was elevated to the. seat of supreme
power over " the French" by the will of that nation.
The party by whom this devotion to the person of
the Due LE 11OURDEAUX has so been manifested, in-
cludes not a few among the_ most distinguished
public men of France; and their devoirs to the
yming Prince were not only publicly, but even
ostenfat;:msly, plid. IVhat are we to infer of the
morale of political character—at what are. we to esti-
mate the force of public opinion—or how are we to
rate the implied superiority of party over principle,
in France, when we see that sort of direct and
special homage , which, in all other nations, is
usually reserved for the Monarch
.defacto as well as
de jure (so far.M the wilt at4te peOpie is equivalent

to law), transferred from him, and carried to the feet
of the Prince in question, in a foreign country, with-
the purpose, more or less avowed by thent,.of:eanti--
Coning his antagonistic pretensions to. wield the
authority now exercise;ilJy Louts PHILIPPE ? .
In Spain (that restless volcano of political ex-
plosions), in the course of the last ye o-, we have
seen the Constitutionalists quarrelling among them-
' s,-2lves, and the Executive divided into two parties.
We have seen the authority of the Legislature almost
equally repudiated hy both, and the intrigues of the
Queen-Mother, from their Parisian centre, so ex-
sively spread and so adroitly managed, as finally to
accomplish the downfal and expulsion of the Con-
stitutional Regent, to whom his country owed so
much for a brief but healthy respite from the ravages
of faction, and the Queen-Mother so large a
measure of resentment and revenge for the hold and

honest interposition of his authority to curb her hostile
attempts upon the Constitution. ESPARrERO himself,
cne day besieging and bombarding the cities where
but a few brief months befure his popularity had been
most enthusiastic and remarkable—another a fugitive,
in jeopardy of liberty and life, throwing himself on
board an English man•of-war, and received i!ito the
hospitality o':" this country as a private gentleman.
Then NARVAEZ, who had been the main instrument
of his overthrow and expatriation, by a successful
application of those means of corrupting the fidelity
or the army, to which the Regent's Government had

not hesitated, in its earlier sta -;es, to resort upon

emergencies, elevated to almost dictatorial power;
and the state majority of the youthful ISABELLA,
Queen of Spain, anticipated as if by the acclamation of
her entire people. In the very first days of her inde-
pendent sovereignty she complains to the assembled
Cortes, that the Minister, friend and colleague of
NARVAEZ, has• presumed to press for her signature to
a decree, with an importunity terminating in acts of
personal violence, restraint, and insult : and this
Minister, OLozAGA, denounced by NARVAEZ, after
vain efforts to procure the Cortes to hear the whole of
his defence, and after escaping from more than one
attempt at his assassination, is in turn compelled to
flee in disguise to the frontiers, and, by the.protecting
aid of smugglers, establishes his residence within the
Portugese territory. The moment of NaavAez'
triumph and success is distinguished by a still more
daring project for his assassination, by four armed
men, in the public streets of Madrid, in open day.
The project fails; but the assassins escape without
even, as it would seem, any attempt on the part of the
bystanders to arrest them. The new Commander-in-
chief, Palm, appointed to the district of Barcelona, in
return for the good services rendered to NARVAEZ
and CONCHA by his cruelty and severities, is shortly
replaced by Baron DE MEER, to whom he is so little
disposed to act as second, that, by some accounts
received in town yesterday, a most violent altercation
is said to have taken place between them at Figueras ;
and in others it is affirmed that the Baron has actually
been assassinated in the latter town. Is there in this
chequered drama of last year, a single scene upon
which one can reasonably base any flattering anticipa-
tions of the probable condition of Spain in 1844 ?
The troubles in the Papal States and in Naples

(upon all of which, by the way, our information has
been extremely meagre), alternately suppressed, in one
quarter by military detachments, and breaking out in
others with a force and combination which no military
detachments at hand are strong enough to face—
these are as questionable indications of tranquillity
presently to be restored, as the coincident eruptions of
Etna suggest the notion of future security and repose
to the terror-stricken citizens of Bronti and Catania,
around whom red-hot lavas are holding on their fiery
course, and beneath whom portentous earthquakes are
struggling to accomplish their work of ruin and de-
vastation.

In the well-governed kingdom of Prussia, even, we
have been grieved to observe how many causes of
discord and animosity between the throne and some
of the national institutions appear to have stealthily
attained a formidable heading ; and we cannot but
feel an extreme anxiety that some well-intentioned,
but possibly, indiscreet acts of the Monarch, in re-
ference to these affairs, may not have compromised his
general well-merited popularity with his subjects.
In Russian Poland the Emperor NICHOLAS has been
busy in enlarging the territorial deserts of his vast
empire by the depopulation of towns, the desecration
of homes, the annihilation of connexbns, the extinction
of all the charities of life—wherever these had existed
in connection with that of the most important, and
altogether the most industrious, classes of his subjects,
namely, the Jews. Three hundred and fifty thousand
of these people he has driven forth from the country,
reckless of the destruction of property, the sacrifice
of personal claims and liabilities, the personal suffer-
ings, the nicral wretchedness, and the political degra-
dation he has inflicted upon them—unconscious,
perhaps, of, and certainly indifferent to, the deep and
lasting wound he has inflicted upon his own empire.
Of that empire, with all its enormous extent and its
resources, it may fairly be doubted whether it is in a
condition to bear such a visitation as well even as
Spain, under the vigorous dominion of FERDINAND
and IsAnunLA, could meet the expulsion of her
Moresco and Jewish subjects ; or France, under the
ino,t selfish and stony of her many tyrants, Lours
X IV., could bear up against the losses and disasters
slse "realised" by his infatuated revocation of the
Edict of Nantes.

Oa all sides, then, we see many threatening aspects,
without considering those which meet us at home,
that clou l.the first dawning of the •new year. We
trust that the uisdom of the Legislature will sedu-
lously apply itself to such adjustments of the diffi-
culties that beset our foreign and domestic policy
and status, as may be calculated— if they cannot avert
the storm that may impend in any quarter--to protect
us at least from the more disastrous effects of its fury.

Instead of ushering in the new year with a smile
of welcome, the Post puts on as long and sour a phiz
as an old maid at a Conventicle, and sighs, and groans,
and wrings its hands, and shakes its head, through
three tedious, heavy columns of lamentation, which
it must have been painful to write, and is a positive
calamity to read. Not a single sun-beam bursts
through the gloom of this triste and foggy diatribe.
It begins with a gi ievance, and it ends with a
grievance. To no one quarter of the political horizon
can our disheartened Contemporary turn with hope
and confidence. All. is darkness in his sky—all
barrenness beneath his feet. Visions • of coining
horrors present themselves to his fancy in every sen-
tonce, and he seems 'to take a perverse delight in
throwing himself into hysterics with the spectres
of his own creation. Not satisfied with draw-
ing the materials of disquietude from the pre-
sent condition of England, he sends his jaun-
diced imaginaticn across the Channel, and gleans
in France a rich, supplemental crop of-ripe grievances.
Hear his groan on this subject :—" That France may,
ere many years, plunge from present danger and con-
fusion into the chaos of a new anarchy is a fear that
grows stronger in the hearts of the best and wisest,''
among whom our ,Contemporary vf course ranks
himself. Returning to England, for he is such a
zealous patriot that he never quits his country for
any length of paragraph, he tells us—and we can
imagine the gloomy satisfaction with which he im-
parts the intelligence—" We see landlords throwing
away their rental, their tens, and twenties, and
thirties per cent., to rally and inspire the bankrupt
farmer, to help him in his struggle to preserve
cultivation, and continue the labourer's customary
wages. Landlords are absolutely impoverishing
themselves! Does the farmer benefit by the sacrifice?
Does the labourer find comfort from the ruin of
rentals? Let the straight answer be looked for in
the actual condition of the country districts. Land-
lords struggling, farmers despairing, labourers fast
rushing towards the abject, sordid misery that was
erst the peculiar disgrace of the great manufacturing
bee-hives." This is pretty well for a New Year
chaunt, but what follows is still more delectable.
Addressing himself to the landlords, whom he seems
to consider as his own peculiar property, to be abused
or praised just as he pleases, " proceed," adds our
troubled Contemporary, " in your career of concession,
and the landlord may give his rents v..way till he finds
himself with no rents to give ; the farmer may stint,
and the labourer may starve ; and what will
then become of England ? With such a
question you will then have no right to
interfere. Your inheritance will have passed into
hinds more skilled to hold it. The legacy of your
dowatil will be t terrible warning to future genera-

tions of the faint and feeble .hearted." The Post has
indulged in much needless despondency as regards—
what is usually called—the Condition •of-England
question. The couti:Ty is by no means in so dis-
astrous a state as he would have us believe. It is
not without its difficulties and embarrassments, but
these are by no means of so hopeless a character that
they may not be removed by a little seasonable
energy and liberality on the part of Government.
Let Ministers but boldly resolve on doing justice to
Ireland, and repealing that oppressive impost, the
corn-laws--which, whether willingly or not, they
must repeal ere long—and the clouds that now brood
over our prospects will disperse like the mists of night
before the morning sunshine.

The Madrid journals of the 23d ult. give an account
of a strange scene, which occurred in the Chamber ( f
Deputies, on its reassembling, on that day. The
business commenced by an announcement from MAR..
TINEZ DE LA Rosa, stating that he had presented to
the QUEEN the address of the Chamber, which was
most graciously received. On the Ministers entering,
Senor Thus put a question to the President of the
Council, relative to the late disgraceful attacks coin-
mitted on persons connected with the Eco del Com-
mercio and Tarantula. Senor BRAVO said he did not
deny the right of members to put questions to the
Government, but the Government had also their
rights, and might answer or not as they judged pro•
per. This excited loud disapprobation, but when he
added " Honourable Deputies would act more wisely
by attending to the Bills before the House than by
putting questions," the storm became tremendous.
The President rang his bell and put on his hat in
vain. The uproar having at last died away from
exhaustion, BRAVO said that if he delayed replying
to the questions, it was only because .he wished to be
able to communicate the full details of the measures
which had been adopted to give satisfaction to the
journals which had been attacked, or those which
thought themselves menaced. This explanation, not
having produced the effect of calming the confusion
which the Minister had caused, several Deputies rose
at the same time to speak without being able to make
themselves heard. M. CABALLERO, having at last
obtained a hearing, asked M. GONZALEZ BRAVO
if he intended to give a plain answer or not ?
M. BRAVO said he did not think proper to add
anything to what he had already announced.
This added new fuel to the flame, and, after another
uproarious scene, the Chamber adjourned without
doing any business. Towards the conclusion of the
meeting, in answer to a question from a Member re-
lative to the impeachment of OLOZAGA, two of the
members of the Committee, CORTINA and POSADA,
said that for various reasons the Committee had not

yet assembled, but would meet on the following day.
The Chambers were adjourned for three days.
The Three per Cents. were done on the 23d at
251 -a at 60 days, the Fives at 21i for cash, with five
coupons, and 191 at 60 days.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the pro-
ceedings in the two Chambers, which possess consi-
derable interest. After the election of M. SAUZET as
President of the Chamber of Deputies, the usual Ses-
sional Committees were formed, and the Presidents
elected, six out of nine being Ministerialists. Another
great triumph to the GUIZOT party was the election
of the Vice-Presidents, all of whom are Conserva-
tives. M. BILLAULT, the Opposition candidate, had
only 99 votes, while the Ministerial candidates, who
stood lowest on the list next to him, had each 150.
The names of the successful candidates are M.M.

BIGNON, LEPELLETIEIL D'AULNAY, SALVANDY, and
DE BELLEYME. These are regarded by the Minis-
terial journals as great victories, and hardly denied by
those of the Opposition. The Journal des Debats
after adverting to the very feeble demonstration made
by the Opposition, after so much boasting, says—" To
sum up, the result of the sitting is what we expected.
The session of 1844 opens like that of 1843. The
majority, which has not changed its representatives,
has not, we are sure, changed its principles—it has
resolved to have now, as it had a year ago, the same
policy—the same men."

In the Chamber of Peers the Committee for draw-
ing up the address to the Royal speech was appointed
on Friday; the
.members chosen being the Duke DE
BROGLIE, Counts DE TASCHER, D'ARGOUT, DE
PONTECOULANT, MOLE, PORTALIS, and M. MERILHOU
The Duke DE BROGLIE is the Reporter, and Count'
DE PONTECOULANT is the President. Some of the jour-
pals state that all the bureaux of the Peers have in-
structed the Committee to insert in the address a para-
graph against those Royalists who have visited the
Duke of BORDEAUX in London ; and, according to the
Commerce, several of the military officers who were
among the visitors, are to be tried for having infringed
an article of the law, which prohibits military men
from absenting themselves from the kingdom with-
out a special permission, the consequence of which is
the loss of their rank. Strong measures evidently
are in preparation against the party. On Thursday
two Legitimist journals, the Quotidienne and the
France, were seized at the Post-office, and on the
following' day the Gazette de France was also seized.
The following appears in the Pilote de Calvados, a
Caen paper :

" Several journals, in announcing the presentation at
London to the Duke de Bordeaux, by the Duke do Mont-
morency, of a deputation from Normandy, has given the
answer of the young Prince, in which he thanks his
faithful Norman's, recommending" to them union and
moderation. One of our subscribers has favoured us
with a letter from London giving details of this occur-
rence. It appears that, independently of the personages
who went to England, and whose names are given in the
English newspapers, the Count de Mortemart and Count
d'Osseville were charged with letters to the Count de
Chambord, expressing the devoted attachment of many
of the clergy of Rouen and Bayeux, and of a great num-
ber of functionaries who, notwithstanding their zeal for
legitimacy, have not -dared to venture upon this pil-
grimage. This explains the proclamation addressed by
the young Prince to his faithful Normans, and the advice
which he gives to them."
The Paris correspondent of a Contemporary adds
the following postcript to his lettei of Saturday :
" M. Laffite has just delivered in the Chamber a
speech of a perfectly revolutionary character... He said
that the peace which the . country enjoyed was but
apparent, and that at its root lurked anarchy and con-
fusion, that the French. people were really in a state .of
complete disorganization, and that venality and corrup-
tion were the ruling principles of the Government.
Under these circumstances (he continued) it was requi-
site to act with caution. For fourteen yeais, a struggle
had been raging between the central and local powers,
or. in other words, between Monarchy and Dep4ooracy."
The Ministers have decided upon not -,presenting
the law of dotation, in consequence of the feeling of
the Chambers against it,

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE OF LADY GRENVILLE.—
During the extremely thick fog which prevailed a few
evenings since, the carriage of Lady Grenville, in which
was her Ladyship, who was returning to Dropmore from
a dinner party at Huntercombe House, Bucks, was upset
by being driven upon a steep bank, close to the village of
Burnham, about two miles from her Ladyship's resi-
dence,; and such was the position in which the carriage
was overturned, that the footman and coachman found it
to be. impassible to extricate Lady Grenville from her
perilous situation without additional assistance, which
was speedily procured from.the village. Her Ladyship,
who has attained it very advanced age, received several
contusions, and was immediately conveyed to the surgery
of Mr. Ruberts, at Burnham, where she received every
attention, and returned to Dropmore House shortly be-
fore midnight. Her Ladyship, who is still suffering from
the effects of the severe. .bruises she experienced, espe-
cially in the left arm, shoulder, and side, has not since
left her residence.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

The Funds, both home and forcin, closed with a most
buoyant appearance, almost everything being higher than
ha the morning. There was a purchase for the Court of
Chancery of 10,0001.. Reduced Three-and-a-Half r
Cents. Consols were last marked 97 to *.
Spanish Bonds touched 223 for the Actives, and 31
to 3 for the Three per Cents. Mexican rose also to 323 3.
The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have
received a communication from Messrs. Lizardi to the
effect that they await further instructions as to the dis-
posal of the funds in hand ; and also as to whether they
shall give up their claim to the 11,0001. in dispute. This,
however, was not generally known in the market, or it
might have made them go lower.
In Railway Shares the advance of the morning was in
several instances carried still further, as a reference to
closing prices will serve to show.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
There was again a good demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool on Saturday. Sales 7,000 bales.—Shares still con-
tinued good. Eastern Counties were 10 ; Grand Junc-
tion, 9.37 ; Birmingham Thirds, 41 ; South Western,
751 ; Manchester and Leeds, 100 ; Midland Counties,
86; Paris and Orleans, 334 ; Paris and Lyons, 3 1-sth ;
Paris and Rouen, 324 ; South Eastern, 35 ; Ditto,
New, 35i ; Great Western, Fifths, 19.
There are some items its the advices brought by the
Acadia, of a consolatory tenour to the holders of Ame-
rican State Bond and Shares, at least of those sections
of the Union that have become, and of others that would
if they dared be, "repudiators." More than one of
the non-paying States have, through their Go-
vernors, on the opening of the State Assemblies, thrown
overboard the first doctrine. Pay they cannot, and
they admit it ; but they say they will when they can ;
and with a renewal of animation in the British trade no
question can be entertained_that that of America will
be benefited. This is satisfactory to the holders
of securities issued by " repudiating " States, as
these, by the honest resolves of their neighbours
must be shamed into principles of honesty. So
far, then, the news is good. The Governor of Vir-
ginia speaks out to this import :--The Governor holds
the payment of its debts a matter of honour, more sacred
than if compelled by law." The Governor of Tennessee
holds similar doctrines ; and, perhaps, in the next
arrivals similar expositions will be given by other
States. As to fallen Pennsylvania, we can hardly
hope for anv display of honesty in that quarter. The
same may be said, we fear, of Mississippi. It is not
also an unimportant point, as connected with the inter-
course between this country and America, that the feel.
ing was increasing against the present tariff among
practical men. True it is that the Secretary to
the Treasury, in his voluminous speech, does
not recommend any alteration for the present,
in the import duties, and to make up his budget, he
must have resource to taxing tea, coffee, &c. imported.
Money was plentiful in New York, but not a very favour-
able report is furnished of the condition of trade, owing,
of course, to the advanced season. The shipments of
the new crop of cotton were proceeding, but scarcely so
actively as at the corresponding period of 1842.
The quotations of the funds have been higher this
morning than at the close last week, and are, at least as
far as the Three per Cents. are. concerned, full 5 per
cent. higher than they wore in the middle of 1843. The
Commissioners have jusi purchased Three per
Cents. Reduced at 973, to the extent of 10,000/.,
and this has rendered the market exceedingly
firm, and Consuls for the Account have rallied
from 963 to 97, which is the present value. Reduced
Three per Cents. have advanced from 97i to 97i ; Ex-
chequer Bills to 665. premium, India Bonds to 80s. pre-
mium, and Bank Stock to 1851.
The dividends upon the Spanish Three per Cents. have
been in course of liquidation this morning, pursuant to
notice, and the prices of the Stock have advanced from
30i- 3to 304 #ex div. The Active Bonds have rallied
to 22i, or about 3 per cent. higher than they were at the
close of the market on Saturday last. Portu-
guese Converted Bonds are at 44, without the
dividend ; anti upon Dutch Stock the half-yearly
interest is also in course of payment. The Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been sold at 54i ex dividend, and the
Five per Cents. at 994 Belgian are at 1034 ; Mexi-
can at 31i ; and Colombian ex Venezuelan, 113. Rus-
sian Stock has been bought at 17 pl-ir cent. over par.
The tone of the Railway Shares is good this morning.
The Manchester and Leeds have advanced to 32 prem.,
though the price is now 1/. lower, , and the
New Shares to 16 premium. 'The Northern sad East-
ern command 8 premium; the Paris and Orleans about 14 ;
the Rouen and Havre, 54 prem. ; Paris and Rotten,
133 pretn. ; the South Eastern and Dover (Scrip), llf
prem.; and the York and North Midland New Shares,
333 prem. South Western are about the same as on
Saturday, as well as Great Western and the Great
North of England, . and the other Shares. United
Mexican Mining Shares are at 3* per Share.

MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, DEC. 30.—The
market continues strong and prices are well maintained.
Manchester and Leeds, 100; Manchester and Birming-
ham, 40; South Eastern, 35k; Lancaster and Preston,
34k; Ditto Three-Quarter Shares, 23k.
