The first meeting took place yesterday, at the residence of
Sir Robert Peel, between the Duke de Broglie and Dr. Lush-
incton, on the all- important question of the right of search
in connexion with the slave trade. We believe, from what we
have heard, that the Government of France is prepared to
make many concessions not hitherto acceded to. With re-
spect to the principles upon which this double commission of
inquiry, and we hope of ultimate mutually beneficial result,
is to be conducted, there is no question as to the ability of
the British Government to impart every means for the sup-
pression of the inhuman traffic. We think there are hopes
of a satisfactory result, founded upon information that has
been communicated to us. But as the consideration of the
matter at issue is now strictly private, we are not at liberty
to refer further to the subject. It is perfectly notorious that
Great Britain stands pledged to use all its efforts for the sup-
pression of the slave trade. Without good and sufficient
reason the commanders of our navy have, but in very few in-
stances, brought a foreign flag under control on the slave
coasts. We are inclined to believe that the high principle of
nationality, so much contended for by the people of France,
will give way under the able, inter-communications which
are now in progress between that eminent jurist Dr. Lush-
ington and the Duke de Bloglie. We shall have occasion
again to refer to this su',ject.
There appears to 1.. e au increasing desire on the part of the
merchants and ol:ners in the City of carrying out the prin-
ciple that has been long talked of-restricting the hours of
banking business. The Committee of the Stock Exchange
have set the example, and there are abundant reasons
why it should be followed by the City bankers. The
most important ferAture upon this subject is, that
:;o extensive o.:e the operations in the Railway
Shares that it is impossible, under the present Post-office
rules, to
"get the correspondence connected with the rail-
way l'Asiness done in time for post hours. It is not now
an ',ixtraordinary circumstances that tile employees of Share
brokers and of bankers, who formerly considered the day
f ended at five o'clock, have to be kept untilnine, ten, andeven
eleven o'clock at night.
There has been a heavy market for the Three per Cent.
Consols to-day.. For the Account the price has fallen from
993/4 to 991 , and for immediate transfer from 993/4 to 99%.
The premium upon Exchequer-bills yesterday was 575. to
595. This morning it is 61s. to 625. India Bonds have
been quoted at 695. to 725. The Three-and- a-Quarter per
Ceuta. have been purchased at 1021/4, ex div., for the opening.
Brazilian Bonds have been in request at 88 this morning,
'Without the dividend. The interest upon the Dutch Four
per Cents. is now in the course of payment, and the Bonds
are at 971% to 1/4. For Spanish, the price of the Five per
much business was transacted in the market to-day.
Cents., is 30%, and for the Three per Cents. 403/4. Not
A vast amount of business has been transacted in the Rail-
way Shares to-day, and in general the values are advancing.
