POREIGN.

telligence to Paris on Saturday, announcing that
peace had been concluded between the English and

we believe, for the destruction of the opium, and the
expenses of the war.

toria, intends, it is said, in consequence of his state of
health, to withdraw from the public service. It is
understood that he will be replaced in England by
Count de Senfft Pilsach, who is at present Envoy Ex-
traordinary at the Hague."
PUBIAC OPINION.
Tie Chronicle has the following remarks on the
preposed.. treaty 'respeetitiwthe, Stade Tolls -;—,".At
length-we haVe'rthietreditablb' acoi4b iset:dttskon to the-
-accottnt of Lord Aberdeen. We shall not stop JO
inquire whether it is from shame or apprehension he
has abandoned the treaty for the augmentation of the
Stade Tolls ; we are too well satisfied in being enabled
to Confirm the statement, which we made last week on
the authority of one of our German Correspondents.
The treaty, whereby it was intended to concede to
the King of Hanover a duty of one-eighth per cent.
ad valorem, has not been concluded. Our Govern-
ment appears to havebecome convinced, though rather
late in the day, of the impropriety of consenting to
the increase of the existing duties, and was desirous of
limiting the concession of the eighth per cent. to those
goods in respect of which that rate, or more, had pre-
viously been paid. Hanover refused, and the whole
of this long agitated question is again laid open. Let
us hope that Lord Aberdeen has satisfied himself of
the futility of attempting to settle this affair in any
other way than by reducing Hanover within the
limits of her legal rights. The failure of the late
negotiations places it once more in the power of the
Foreign Secretary to revert to the policy of his pre-
decessor. The mercantile interest had confidence in
Lord Palmerston's efforts in this matter. Lord
Aberdeen ought to rejoice that a similar path is yet
open to him. It is the only right course, and the only
one which can possibly lead to a satisfactory result."
The Times observes, in reference to Ecclesiastical
Reform :—" Before cathedral establishments were
curtailed, we think that it might have been considered,
,or at any rate now, before the .inoney.so, obtained is
appropriated in improving.( exclusively, on nearly, so)
the benefices in the gift of. one particular class of
patrons, we think that it may be considered' whether
there is not a prior obligation on those patrons whor
ever they he, and especially if extensive holders of
impropriations, to make some. sort of .advance to
wards the provision for that spiritual destitution for
which the property, which is now theirs, once pro-
vided. We are not now arguing, it is not
necessary to do so, '"that_ 'that there is any cx-
•istint,o. inherent right or 'title in the Church to
the tithes which are so impropriated ; all that we
urge is this—that it would, at any rate, be decorous—
it would, at any rate, be consistent with common'
sense, for a public corporation (to take no higher view)
like the Crown to apply that ecclesiastical property
which it already holds in the provision for the spiritual
wants of those persons whoe payinents constitute that
property, before it asks for a public confiscation of
other Church property for . the purpose,_ and before it
suggests to other patrons to take that, very course
which itself it refuses to take, though much better able
to afford it. The Crown is a great impropriator, and
a great pitron ; let it do justice itself before it asks
others to do so; and let it improve its own patronage
at its own cost, before it comes upon a public fund
for the purpbse."
The following appears in the Herald :—" The hope
which for nine months past has been flickering—that
France would ratify the General Slave-trade Sup-
pression Treaty, which on the 13th December, 1838,
she, in conjunction with England, proposed for the
adoption of the other Great European Powers—is at
last extinguished. M. Guizot prepares to meet the
French Chambers by another concession to the cla-
mours of a factious, violent, and unscrupulous oppo-
sition press—which no sacrifice can satisfy that does
not remove:him from office. The concession may be
expedient, but it is not moral ; it may be excusable,
but it, is not justifiable ; it may be susceptible of pal-
. liation, but it admits not of commendation ; it may
be popular with the ignorant and the mischievous, but
it must be undignified and impolitic in the estimation
of all far-seeing and sound-thinking Frenchmen."
MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. _

At the meeting of the proprietors of the North
Midland Railway, hel.d at Leeds on Wednesday, it was
resolved by a large majority that the reductions pro-
posed, to the amount of 17,7881. should be carried out.

COFFEE.—A. circular, containing much of import-
ance to the coffee trade, and perhaps more to the con-
sumers of coffee, has just been issued by the
well-
known firm of Sidney and Hall, to which attention
may be fairly directed. From this it would appear
that coffee, the importations of the present season, is
25 per cent. cheaper than those of the last several years.
