FOREIGN.

We have no foreign news of any interest, except the
annual New Year's-day addresses presented to the King
of the French, and published in the Moniteur of Sunday.
The Parisians were pleased with them.
M. de Salvandy, the French Ambassador has left
Madrid with his suite on his return to France.
According to the returns of the operations of the
Savings'-banks of Paris, in 1841, published in the Moni-
teur of Sunday, the investments amounted during the
year to 40,041,548 francs, and the reimbursements to
26.911,458 francs, leaving a surplus in the banks of
13,130,089 francs. On the Ist of January, 1842, the
sums deposited in the Savings'-banks of Paris amounted
to 83,485,427 francs, belonging to 134,843 individuals,
90;000 of whom were either labourers or servants.
PUBLIC OPINION.
The Advertiser observes, that the speech of Sir James
Graham to his constituents at Dorchester, is just what
might have been expected from a hardened renegade,
whom nothing can shame ; and adds, " he is dissociated
from his former political friends, and by them disowned
and despised ; he has gone openly over to those who
were the deadly haters of the Grey Government ; and
yet, though the brand of a renegade of the first magni-
tude be thus visibly imprinted on his forehead, he has
the surpassing barefacedness to glorify himself in the
very outset of his speech, on having been a member of
the Ministry of Earl Grey ! Surely the force of cool
assurance can no further go !"
The object of the principal article in the Herald is to
point out the .fallacy of some of the reasonings of the
Corn-law Repeaters, whom it calls "prophetic alarmists,"
and whose arguments it vainly endeavours to controvert,
by quoting a passage respecting the " existing tariff of
duties," from President Tyler's late Message to Congress.
The Post contains a leading article, suggested by the
Emigration question. in which it states that this ques-
tion is decidedly of Whig origin, observing, " to Whig-
Radical projectors do we owe our modern theories of
emigration—to a Whig-Radical Government do we owe
the attempt to embody these theories in action."
In the course of some comments on Sir James Gra-
ham's speech at Dorchester, the Chronick intimates its
()pinion that new taxes will be laid on which will " make
the people feel," and that this is the first distinct dis-
closure of projerited measures which any Member of the
Cabinet has made.
The Times, in a leading article on the subject of Sir
James Graham's Dorchester speech, warns him to review
his declarations and intentions on the question of the
Poor-law, and depart from his former Judgments, and
brave the imputation of inconsistency, rather than ne-
glect his public duty.
MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE.
A corn merchant and a manufacturer in Glasgow, both
in extensive business, have stopped payment. The debts
of the two are said to exceed 400,000. An old and re-
spectable ship-building firm in Leith has also become
insolvent.
The Hastings boats have commenced the mackerel
fishery with success.
It is stated that the East India Company's order of
15,000 pieces of cloth, usually sent to an eminent manu-
facturing establishment in Leeds, has this year been
given to a house at Aix-la-Chapelle, on the ground that
the quality of the Continental fabric is equally good with
that of Leeds, and much cheaper.
