MR. H UME.

ARBROATH, Aran. 13.—Mr. Hume made a triumphant
entry into the town last night, and was welcomed with the
most hearty and boisterous applause. Music and banners were
in attendance, and some thousands escorted him to the inn,
where he addressed them from one of the windows. Strath-
bogie sympathisers and rigid Non-Intrusionists were to be seen
before his arrival running through the streets canvassing the
voters, and even threatening those who were any way dependent
upon them. The game, however, is up with them ; but it shows
what Non-Intrusion is when it would league itself with Intru-
sion against the most important interests of the country. Mr.
Hume will be returned without opposition. The Angus burghs
will once more send a thorn to the House to prick the sides of
both Whigs and Tories.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The prices of the Funds, which opened firmly, were not
maintained at the latter part of the day ; Consols leaving off at
91h ter Money, and 91% for the Account ; Bank Stock, 165
1664 ; India Stock, 241 243 ; Exche,uer Bills, 39 41 prem.
'1 he settlement in Foreign Bonds has of course gone off
quietly; but the stale trick of creating a scarcity of particular
Stocks has been carried into effect this time also. *With great
impartiality Buenos Ayrean and Peruvian Bonds have now had
the benefit of the operation, instead of Mexican, as has been
the case the two previous settlements, it being too much to
try it again on this :ast-named Stock. The quotations,
except in the two named above, are but little varied; the Por-
tuguese Five per Cents, being 36% 365; the Three per Cents.,
21 214; Columb,an, 274 27k; Mexican, 41 41%; Spanish
Five per Cents. , 245 244 ; the Three per Cents., 254 255 ;
Buenos Ayres from 28 to 30; and Peruvian from 18} to 21.
'I he price of Belgian was 1034 1045; Brazilian, 67 68 ;
Danish, 801/2 81 ; the Dutch Two aid a Half per Cents ,
525 52% ; and the Five per Cents., 1005 ma.
Railroad shares are nearly the same as yesterday : Birming-
ham 176 178 ; Birmingham and Gloucester 56 58 ; Gn at
Western 945 954, the Half Shares, 655 66 ; South Western,
60 61 ; Gosport, 60 61 ; North Midland, 69 70; the New
Shares, 34 35 ; South Eastern and Dover, 294 30%; Eastern
Counties, 95 91 ; Blackwall, 12 12%, the New Shares, 10
105; and Brighton 365 37 per Share.
A fair amount of business was transacted in the Foreign
Exchange, and the rates did not materially differ from those
of Tuesday ; Amsterdam was quoted 12 5 ; Rotterdam,
12 5%; Antwerp, 1244, 12 5 ; Hamburgh, 1313, 1313%;
Paris, 25f. 824 c., 25f. 87%e.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
FROM THE EVENING PAPI;RS OF YE,TERDAY.
GLOBE.—We are yet disposed to hope that the
wretch who is now the object of universal execration
will not eventually escape ; but if he were taken to-
day it would furnish no excuse to the police, who, had
they used proper means, could not fail to have
had him in custody within twenty-four hours after
the discovery of the offence he is suspected of. The
first oversight, blameable as it really was, might, how-
ever, have been perhaps repaired by subsequent dili-
gence; but instead of that, the police appeilr to have been
literally loitering at the murderer's heels; and the
very fact of their having been so often close upon his
track renders them much more reprehensible in hav-
ing never yet succeeded in coming up .with him. We
hear much of their vigilance, and their attention to
every information that is brought to them; but
'their vigilance seems hitherto to have been ex-
hihitecl in running wild-goose chases in every
direction that vague rumour or mischievous
folly has pointed out to them. Their readiness
to listen to statements consists apparently in a
prompt credulity, which induces them to lend their
ears to every idle story that is brought to them,
and they set out. post haste to every public-house
where they are told the murderer has just been, in
the hope, no doubt, that he has the full intention of
coming back again. Nearly half a dozen publicans
have presented themselves with a declaration that
the suspected man has been in their house, and
yet it has never occurred to them to secure
him until he has been allowed quietly to walk
off, and then they think proper to hurry with their
" important clue " to the station-house. We
should be inclined to regard these statements rather
as attempts to advertise the public houses (which,
from the -present anxiety to hear anything professing
to relate to the murder, are sure to be made known),
than as bona fide efforts to further the cause of justice;
for if these worthy individuals, who bring their inform-
ation, are so desirous to aid in the detection of the
criminal, it is surely rather late to come to the autho-
rities with the news that " the bird has flown," when
they might have caged him with ease, had they been
really desirous of doing so. That the murderer can
continue to live, and yet escape detection, we cannot
believe ; but it will be the awful nature of his crime,
which has set every man's hand against him, that will
be the means of preventing him from remaining long
concealed ; and it will indeed require all the vigi-
lance that the police can display in taking him, be-
fore they can wipe out the stigma that attaches to
them for permitting him to have so long eluded them.
STANDARIX—The party of which the present
Premier is leader saved the agricultural body frem
absolute and final destruction twelve months ago ; it
was natural that the farmers, therefore, should count
upon that party, as friendly to all their objects, and
even bound to go all lengths with them, whether
reasonable or unreasonable, just or un ust, after they
(the farmers) had heaped upon it their acknowledg-
ments of gratitude. This, we say, was natural ; but
many things are natural which are not reasonable;
and surely it is not reasonable to convert benefits into
claims of submission, even though these benefits have
been gratefully acknowledged, or to charge with de-
ceit all who do not realise all the sanguine hopes that
their former services may excite in our own inconsi-
derate minds. This error is more particularly to be
guarded against in judging the conduct of the Govern-
ment of a free country. Such a Government really be-
trays its duty when it acts as the Government of a class
or party—betrays its duty usually more to the injury
of the class or party favoured, than of any others. A
free country will not long endure a party or a class
Government, if for no other reason, because such a
Government must, in various ways, cripple the general
industry and the national energy. Then from one class
or party Government follows a violent change to the
Government of its opposite class or party, placed in
power, animated by party feeling and strengthened by
party precedents, to oppress and injure the party
of its predecessors; and in this way the political
history of a country becomes but the record of
reciprocal injuries, alternating from year to year.
Lord Western•tells the farmers that they have been
deceived ; let the farmers, believing his Lordship's
erroneous representation, withdraw their support
from Sir Robert Peers 'Administration, and they
will have Lord John Russell's Government and his
delusive fixed duty, arid they will then learn
in union workhouses and beggary by the
way side, the extent of the injury from which Sir
Robert Peel has protected them, and would 'protect
them. But Sir Robert Peel has not deceived them, as
we have clearly shown. If they have deceived them-
selves, as Lord IVestern confesses to have deceived
himself, the fault lies in the unreasonableness of their
expectations. It is satisfactory to us to remember that
we have been no parties to-the deception. Convinced as
we ever have been that the agricultural interest is im-
measurably the most important interest in the country,
and zealously as we have always fought its battle,
through good report and ill report, we have never
regarded it as the only interest entitled to protection,
or asked for any unfair advantages in its behalf. If,
as Lord Western seems to think, the agriculturalists
claim more than this service, it is we, not the farmers,
who have been deceived, for we thought we were
engaged in a fair and equal cause. 'We will not,
however, doubt that the Noble Lord is mistaken ;
we will still adhere to the conviction, " that live and
let live" is the farmer's principle, as it is the prin-
ciple of every just man.
COURIER.—The object of Mr. Mangles being to
serve not truth but his. party, and the very sore place
of that party being confessedly the wretched state of
Indian affairs, induced by Indian misgovernment
and resulting in the deplorable disasters of Aff-
ghanistan, he forthwith rushes with more haste
than good speed to throw himself into the breach,
hoping that on his authority assertion might be
accepted fbr fact, at least until the manoeuvre had
answered the purpose of deciding wavering votes
from telling adversely on the day of division. Here
is the double mode of action resorted to, as we extract
the process from Mr. Martin's summary
Mangles says the East India Company have at this
Moment a loan open at 5 per cent., but he omits stat-
ing that little or no money has been lent by the public
to the Indian Government, and that the 4 per cent.
loan has proved an utter failure. Mr. Mangles also
omits stating that all the Government securities
on India are at a discount, except those on which the
interest is payable in England, and that the deprecia-
tion extends to 17 per cent.—a circumstance unprece-
dented since the time of the Marquis Wellesley's just
and able- financial: as well as military and political
government of India. The current interest on money
in Calcutta is now eight to nine per cent.; it was no
more at the close of Lord Wellesley's administration
in 1805, although no public banks then existed
in India. There is not a shadow of a proof that
the East India Company are raising money at a rate
equivalent, to three per cent., as stated by.
NMr. Man-
gles." ow we can testity, on the faith of the most
accredited Indian papers, to the fact that, althouFh
a five per cent. loan had been opened for
some time past—months even—at Calcutta and in the
other Presidencies, yet that very few subscriptions
had been obtained towards filling up the list,
and that, although for only four millions sterling,
it was an utter failure. The Government securities
in (not on, as perhaps by mistake in Mr. Martin's.
,
letter) India were moreover at a discount, as averred
from which may at once be inferred the caws

Two instances have occurred to-day remarkably illustrative
of the real nature of business carried on in Foreign Bonds
Peruvian, which opened at 154 for Money, are at present quoted
21, and the New Spanish Three per Cent. Stock opened at 254,
rose to 26i, and has since fallen to the first ofthesequotations. In
the first case an artificial scarcity of Stock has been created,
and in the other the decline has been caused by a party offering
to sell, and the belief that he really had the Stock to deliver.
The Paris Stock Exchange Committee have literally kicked
the new Stock from the Bourse, and will not recognise it until
Spain shall appear to be inclined to do justice to her foreign
creditors.

The North America packet-ship has brought accounts from
New York to the 19th March inclusive. Scarcely any altera-
tion in mercantile affairs had occurred. The amount of busi-
ness continued to be small, being wholly confined to transac-
tions for immediate wants, and for these money was abundant;
while for speculation the banks and capitalists refused to make
advances. The progress of resumption was going on steadily,
and as a natural consequence, the banks without capital were
obliged to wind up their affairs. If this plan be pursued, it
w 11 tend more than any other to bring about a more healthy
state. A calculation made some time since showed that there
were in eighteen States one hundred and ninety millions of
dollars of banking capital wholly unconvertible and unredeem-
able in specie, and that according to the report of the Treasury,
upwards of three hundred and five millions of dollars had been
sunk by the banking system.
The debt due by the Federal Government was still a chief
topic of discussion, and the necessity of meeting it and provid-
ing for future demands universally allowed ; but the idea of
direct taxation was as universally repudiated. The only plan
which could apparently be tolerated, was that of raising the
duties on imports. If this should be carried into effect, it will,
it is supposed, add to the jealousy at present existing between
the southern and northern States, the former holding the doc-
trine that they should not be taxed for the sake of the latter,
and that the manufactures received in exchange for their raw
produce should not be virtually prohibited, which would be the
case if higher duties be imposed. 'I he duty on British Cotton
is nominally 20 per cent., but by the existing regulations, and
by extra charges, difference in exchange, &c„ it is in reality
much more.
