direct. The Presbyterian Church likewise receives a consi-
derable subsidy. Both are gorged with the property taken—
stolen, we shall add—from the Catholic clergy, and they
utter exclamations sufficient to unsettle the three kingdoms
to their foundation, because a miserable shadow of restitution
is granted to the Catholics ! Once more we assert that such
a proceeeding is a disgrace to England."
The National thus contrasts the policy of Sir ROBERT
PEEL and M. GUIZOT, or, rather, that of the " Chateau :"
" Sir Robert Peel knows the men whom he leads, and he is
well aware that with the haughty aristocracy, to which he dois
not belong, and on whom h. e has been imposed by his merit
and his experience, there is no medium between domination
and servitude. He must either be the master of the Tories
or their instrument. Sir Robert I'eel has too good an opi-
nion of himself to submit to the humiliating position of a
servant, or even to the seccndary position of a counsellor.
He is the chief, and he loads his party with rare boldness.
But to what point is he conducting them? Into a course
now to the defenders of all the prejudices of birth, of religion,
and of privilege. He has compelled those men to place
their hands on what they ought to have religiously respected.
He has loaded property with an income-tax. He has op-
posed to the absolute spirit of prohibition a vast reform of ta-
riffs. He has impoverished the agricultural interests by a mo-
dification of the corn-laws. He 15 now placing his foot in the
sanctuary; and, notwithstanding the exclamations against
Popery and ido'atry, he is about to endow a Catholic semi
nary largely, after having treated officrilly with the Roman
Catholic Bishops of Ireland for the execution of the Religious
Bequests Bill. When the period arrives at which parties are
to be extinguished there always appears an indispensable
statesman who himself undertakes to dig the trench in which
worn-out institutions and exhausted ideas are to Lind their
final sleep. Thus affairs pass in a country where statesmen
know; how to prepare paciticchanges. In France it is dif-
ferent. A systematic imnioimity appears to preside over all
the acts of the Government. The party which calls itself
Conservative traces round it a circle which is not to be
crossed. Inclosed in a species of lazaretto, it neither feels
ftalicet
noNo'ermtheentpeorfmathneent a);fltdtio ‘'n- fhoichideas rises, nor the pressure of
. Nevertheless a re-
sistance is formed. Disaffection is engendered by contempt,
the latter will one day give place to anger, and a final mo-
ment will arrive when the Conservatives, who refused to re-
new some worn-out furniture, will find themselves invaded by
a force; too long suppressed, which will throw the entire
household and furniture out of the window."
The Minister of Public Works bad presented to the
Chamber of Deputies Bills authorising the adjudication
of the railways from Paris to Strasbourg, and from Tours
to Nantes. The maximum of the leases to be granted is
fixed as follows:--For the Paris and Strasbourg Railway
forty-five years, and for the Tours and Nantes Railway
thirty-five years. The Committee of the Chamber,
appointed to examine the Northern Railroad Bill, had
reduced from forty-five to twenty five years the dura-
tion of the lease, and the security to be deposited by the
Company from 30,000,000 f. to 15,000,000 f.
The intelligence from Swi.zerland is not satisfactory.
The Constitutionnel says, the demavel of Lucerne, mede
in the Diet on the 16th, for an indemnity led to an ani-
mated debate, which ended in a rejection, six votes only
appearing for the indemnity. All steps to induce that
cant ,)n to grant an amnesty would, it was said, fail, sin-
less supported by money. The Diet adjourned without
fixing a day for discussing the propositions of the com-
mission.

There are accounts of the 9th January from Hobart Town,
which advise very unfavourable weather for the -crops, a
material deficiency being fully anticipated.
From the tenor of the published accounts it is feared that
the mercantile letters from India will not advise an improve-
ment in the markets there, and this probably will have some
effect in t he manufacturing districts.
There has been a further decline to-day in Consols, and
although we attach but little weight to the plea on 'which
it is grounded, viz., an apprehension of some misunder-
standing with the United States, we are not by any means
surprised at a reaction from another cause, viz., the superior
temptation of railway investments. Consols have been
down to 98% % for Money, and to 99 and 98% for Ac-
count, and are now about 98% to 76 for the former,
and 9876 for the latter. The premium on Exche-
quer-bills has been steady at 595. to 61s. New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 101 to 100%. Bank
Stock has been firm at 210 to 210%. Reduced Three per
Cents. have been 98 to 97%.
The Foreign Securities have been affected by the declinci n
Consols. Spanish Five per Cents. have receded to 301/2 11/4 ;
and the Three per Cents. to 401/ M. Portuguese Converted
Stock has been 6614, %. Mexican have given way to 371/.
Columbian are 15% to 16. Dutch Four per Cents. bring 97%.
There has been a good deal of business doing in Railway
, Shares, and, taking them generally, it may be said there is a
disposition to sell, and that they rule lower.
