Unqualified satisfaction has been expressed In commercial
circles, this morning, at the announcement of Sir Robert Peel,
that he intends, at so early a period as the 14th inst., to give
his financial expose. For years and years past, it has been a
matter of notoriety and complaint that trade and
commerce have been most materially retarded in con-
sequence of the length of ft-me which has elapsed
between the assembling of the Legislature and the
announcement of the views of the Govciiiment with respect.
to the tariff, and other matters which may affect directly or
indirectly the trade of the country. The general expecta-
tion is, that the hints given through the "Ordinary sources
of public information," that a large number of the articles
contained in the present tariff should be struck off the
roll, will not be lost sight of by Sir Robert Peel.
Indeed, there is not the slightest doubt entertained
but that the whole commercial arrangements to be proposed
to Parliament are already entirely completed. The other
parts of the speech of Sir Robert Peel are held to be favour-
able in most points of view, sad have been a sulect of con-
versation in almost all circles of the City. Ihe intended
interference"with the circulation of Ireland and Scotland
is not at all unexpected, and whatever differences: of
opinion may exist upon the subject, there is no doubt- that' -
Sir Robert Peel intends to strain every nerve for the' Ottepotel
of carrying out an assimilation as respects the currency- of
the United Kingdom.
The Dutch Government continues its system of reducing
the interest on its debt, and Messrs. Raphael and Sons advise
.us that last Saturday the following letters,. representing
14,571,800 guilders of old Five per Cents , were drawn at the
Hague, to be paid off :—M, V, K, E, C, H, I, 'l', R, and B.
The Funds are still rather drooping, and it is the impres-
sion that the sales making are on account of anticipated
railway calls. Consols for Money have receded from par
to 995 et, and for Account from 1005 to 994. Exchequer- .
bills are 61s. to 645. premium; Bank Stock is 2144 to
215 ; and India Stock 285 to 2854: The New Three-and-
a. Quarter per Cents. are 104 IA to 1035, being alSo lower.
The Government broker is, however, still a buyer.
The foreign investments are steady at about previous rates.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 285, and the Three per Cents.
415 5. Portuguese Converted are 585 to .'9. Mexican
Stock has realised 364 to 365 ; Peruvian, 33 to 325 ; Colom-
bian, 145 ; and Brazilian, 905. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents have been 634.
The Railway Shares continue buoyant, and there is an
advance in several instances. The London and York, South-
Eastern and Birmingham are better. The Rugby have gone
back a little.

injure the cause of Chartism, of wide* We are ""catel' 18
