SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF MONDAY.
GLOBE.—We are not " Total " Corn-law Re-
pealers ; but we certainly shall be such, as soon as
Sir Robert Peel has convinced us that there is no
consistent ground to stand upon between his notion
of Corn-law alteration and Total Repeal. And here
may we not be allowed to hint- that there is some
little shadow of danger (even to a Minister with
123 majority at his back)—some little danger,.
at least, to the interest which that Minister
affects to place foremost—in taking such pains
to make it believed, in times like the pre-
sent, that there is no alternative between giving that
interest confessedly a higher rate of protection than
proportionate to its burdens, and giving that inte-
rest no protection at all—that there is no alterna-
tive, consistent in principle, between refusing re-
gular commerce in the most important article of com-
merce, with all our customers equally, and throwing
open our ports to that commerce without any duties
at all. Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Gladstone, and Sir James
Graham, are compelled to admit that the present Bill
does not bear the stamp of a final measure. Are they
anxious to. cut away all ground for a fixed duty in
future changes ? Are they anxious to convince the
community that no reform short of aholition can answer
the only purpose for which reform has been sought at
all ? We promise them they nia), find their enter-
prise easier than they imagine. There is alwaysa
-
strong tendency in the popular mind to prefer the
simplest and most unlimited applications of prin-
ciple. A great deal may be said, and cannot
be easily answered, against imposing any fiscal bur-
deny on the first necessaries of life. And we assure
the projectors of the present complex piece of empiri-
cal legislation, that if they succeed in convincing the
public mind that any simpler scale is impracticable,
they will have gone far to convince it of the noxious-
ness of all Corn-laws whatever. Indeed that convic-
tion is very widely. extended already—quite suffi-
ciently so to justify Mr. Villiers in bringing forward his
motion. Even without what we have stigmatised as
dangerous arguments, the mere experiment of an inade-
quate measure of change seems to us highly dan-
gerous. Here we have an extremely complex piece
of legislative machinery proposed for adoption, of
which even its makers cannot pretend to tell us with
any sort of precision what will be its effect—and of
which the only thing which can be predicted with
perfect certainty is, that it will not admit a steady
and regular trade with all markets. We
have here a machine, the intended working
of which is to give the agriculturists something
more titan protection in proportion to their alleged
burdens—to exclude foreign competition to a certain
extent—an extent sufficient, it is supposed, to encou-
rage them to make us independent of foreigners.
Now, either it is impossible for the home growth to
make us independent (and Sir R. Peel could not
venture distinctly to deny this)—and in that case,
he avowedly impedes supplies which we cannot dis-

The prices were litte better than nominal, owing to the re-
laxation from business until something definite is known with
regard to the Customs Duties' Bill. West India Sugar at about
former quotations ; Bengal and Mauritius steady in price, but
few sales were reported. The Coffee market was quiet, but
good qualities brought full prices. Rice was more sough
after, and rather dearer.

MONEY MARKET und CITY NEWS,
FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
POST.—The heaviness witnessed in the several markets
could not be at all accounted for. The signature of the Anti-
slavery Treaty by the leading Powers, with the omission of
France, is understood to have been owing to the active influ-
ence of the representative of the United States at Paris. This
circumstance was of course, not overlooked. Failures were,
moreover, talked of. A bill- broker, and several, or at all events
two or three houses connected with the seed, or oil-trade,
carrying on business on the banks of the river, were said to be
under embarrassment, and reports of this nature have generally
some effect on the value of stock ; but we should rather think
the decline we have quoted may have had Its origin principally
in the bear operations of the dealers in anticipation of the ac-
count-day in Consols, which is close at hand.

pense with—or else we can, in average seasons, grow
sufficient to supply our wants. And in that case,
years of abundance will destroy the effect of legisla-
tive protection.
STANDARD.—The Examiner has selected some
passages from the speeches of Lords Palmerston and
John Russell in the late debate, as comprising the
pith of their respective arguments, and as decisive of
the question discussed. It is convenient to have the
Opposition arguments thus brought within reason-
able limits, and in a tangible shape, and presented by
a party whose bias must be above exception on the
part of those using the arguments. We shall ac-
cordingly take leave to investigate the selected pas-
sages of the Examiner as making up the case of the
Opposition. The first extract conveys Lord Palmer-
, ston's view of protection :
"Yo do not do this in any other trade. You do not
call upon the merchant, and tell him that you will insure
him against any loss of cargo by the acciaents at sea, or
for other deteriorations which the property they are
bringing home may sustain.—(Hear, hear.) You do not
send him to different places to bring in what you want,
and excite a rise in price to prevent the diminution of
the quantity of a commodity. I object to the applica-
tion of this principle to the agricultural interest.—(Hear,
hear ) I hold that the landlords and the cultivators
of the soil should calculate against loss like
persons engaged in other pursuits, :and make
ante for the contingencies of the seasons.—(Hear, hear.)
I am not the advocate for a fixed duty for the reasons
given in favour of a protecting duty by the Right Hon.
Baronet, that the farmer= and cultivator of the soil
should be protected when the price was -below a certain
point, and when prices were above it, that the consumer
should be looked to. I contend for the principle, that
you are justified in levying taxation for the purposes
of revenue only—(Loud cheers)—therefore, I do not see
why the importation of corn from abroad should not
take place when you levy such a duty as not to in-
terfere or impede an abundance of supply."—(Cheers.)
Lord Palmerston's first proposition has not even a
shadow of foundation. So far from not giving protec-
tion against competition in any other trade, such pro-
tection is given in every other trade. We challenge
Lord Palmerston to name the trade in which foreigners
can possibly compete, which is not guarded, and very
properly guarded, by high protecting duties. The
iron trade, the woollen trade, the cotton trade, the
silk trade, are all so protected—even the trade of
the merchant, cited by Lord Palmerton to
serve his purpose, is guarded by the Navigation
Act and by operative differential 'duties. Ah ! but
some one will say, these trades are guarded generally
against competition, but they are not guarded against
the vicissitudes of the seasons. True ; they are not
guarded against the vicissitudes of the seasons, and
for a very good reason, because they are not affected
by the vicissitudes of the seasons. Were it possible
that they could be so affected, the universally adopted
principle proves that they would be protected. The
case then stands thus—all trades are protected gene-
rally against foreign competition ; but agriculture is,
for the good of the common-wealth, stripped of pro-
tection when the country is visited by an unfavourable
season—forgive it this wrong. .

SLAVE TRADE TREATY.

We. announce with deep regret, on the authority of a com-
munication received from Paris, by express, that the ratifica-
tion of the Treaty between the Five Great Powers of Europe,
for the Suppression of the Slave Trade, which, according to
the previous arrangement, was to have been accomplished on
Saturday or Monday next, will be delayed, if not prevented, by
the French Government.

Of the sincerity and good faith with which the French Go-
vernment concluded this important Treaty there cannot be any
doubt. It was the result of a proposal originating with France,
in conjunction with Great Britain, and France and Great
Britain equally rejoiced in the acces!ion of the other Powers.
To congratulate each other or, the general concurrence of
Europe in a humane and benevolent suggestion, which had
emanated from them conjointly, seemed, indeed, to be all that
remained for England and France to do.
It is the more to be lamented that M. Guizot should have
suffered himself to be overborne by the Radical Opposition in
the Chamber of Deputies, and by the outcry which demo-
cratic orators have endeavoured to excite throughout France,
that the most recent proceedings of the Chamber demonstrate
the comparative weakness of this party, and the paramount
strength of the French Government—a strength to be shaken
only by that Government placing itself in the wrong.
M. Guizot, feeling himself compelled to refuse, for the
present, to join, without reserve, in the name of France, in
ratifying the Treaty in the precise terms in which it has been
concluded, proposed certain modifications. In these modifi-
cations Lord Aberdeen has declined to acquiesce, being of
opinion, that, as a British Minister, he ought not to admit the
necessity of any guarantee fur the disinterestedness and probity
of Great Britain in respect of the abolition of the slave trade,
these having been already proved by sacrifices and efforts in
that cause, to which neither France nor any other country
can produce a parellel.
It is certain, indeed, that upon this subject the conduct of
France and that of Great Britain are in striking contrast.
France, relieved from the necessity of encouraging the sugar
culture in her colonies, and even adopting, in furtherance of
the interests of the domestic cultivators of the beet-root, the
policy of positive discouragement to the culture of the cane,
has never drawn sixpence from her national purse to relieve
the distress of her slave subjects, although, at a very small ex-

GLOBE.—The arguments on the Ministerial side of
the Corn-law question will go down to posterity, if in-
deed they go down at all, as the most monstrous monu-
ment ever reared by class-ignorance on class-interest.
We say this quite dispassionately ; for, in truth, we do
not think greatly better of some of the arguments put
forward in succession on our own side of the question.
There is a sort of Spanish arrogance and superiority in our
own conceit over other nations, occasionally displayed on
both sides, combined either with strutting airs of inde-
pendence of foreign supplies (at the very moment when
so many are cloakingstarvation in threadbare garments),
or with swelling boasts of becoming the sole workshop
and factory of the world (at the very moment when rival
manufactures are every where meeting us in neutral mar-
kets)—there is, as it seems to us, a blindness to realities,
and a grasping at unrealities, which, to our apprehension,
are amongst those symptoms which mark the decline of
nations. Strike out all the nonsense from the speeches
on both sides about depending on nobody for our fond,
and supplying everybody with our manufactures—strike
out all this arrogant nonsense, and groundless assump-
tion—and
what will be left ? Few of the sentence
which call forth cheers; but all the common sense of
the subject.
The sort of pretensions which the landed interest set
forth as entitling them to exclude commerce would
justify a State-inquisition into their mode of ma-
naging their estates. We are, forsooth, to depend
upon nobody but upon them for our daily bread.
Why are we to depend upon them ? How are
we to be assured that they have an interest in providing
us with abundance, or, if they have, that they act on it ?
Our simpler forefathers did look after every man's fields,
and every min's barns ; and if, with our vast population,
we are statedly to depend on home growth, we must look
after them. We must see that this landlord does not
sacrifice to political interest the encouragement (by
granting leases and otherwise) .which he owes to his
tenantry, in order that they may have a motive for im-
proving cultivation to the utmost. We must see that ano-
ther does not devote to embellishment or amusement the
ground that is wanting for the supply of increasing
numbers—that he does not withdraw a rood of ground
from arable whict is fitted for it. In Edward the
Sixth's days, and earlier, these were deemed matters
for royal proclamation. Our ancestors deemed the
gross produce as deserving attention as the net produce
of the soil, and abundance for the people at a cheap
rate, as " remunerating prices" for the farmer. We
may smile at their simplicity, but we have followed the
worse part of their precedents. 'We have legislated ex-
clusively for prices, and cared exclusively for rents.
STANDARD.—Lord Aberdeen's presentation of the
Treaty ratified between Prussia, Austria, Russia, and
Great Britain, for the suppression of the slave trade,
calls attention to a subject of some serious consideration
—serious, not merely as respects the object of
this Treaty, but the state of feeling upon the
Continent of Europe. It is probably known to most
of our readers that this Treaty is little more
than an act of adhesion by the other Great Powers
to a former Treaty ratified between Great Britain
and France eleven years ago, and which, of course,
is still in force as regards the nations parties to it.
A few years since, however, Great Britain and
France agreed-to invite Prussia, Austria, and Russia, to
