SPIRIT of the PITRLIC JOURNALS.

FROM TUE EvENisio PAPERS oF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE —Any pretender will fled reception from
tl e party in power, and its oreens, who aril find impu-
dence to enact the "delegate," and abuse the mairi-
facturing interest. That is the Open ,`..esanie to
Downsne-Areete and Printing-house-square. That is
the one thing needful to turn any convicted cheat
into the Tory oracle, the quoted authority of the
cley on Trade, Labour, and Poor-laws. Tee great
systems of our manufactures and commerce—
the main employers of our town industry—oc-
cupy the position, as it were, of prisoners at the
. Tory bar,—while any disgraced itinerant, any 't unjust
steward," whose private malverastions have left him the
" liberty of the gaol' to instruct the public, any door-
keeper of a dispersed Jacobin Club, any Socialist pro-
pagator of anarchy and immorality on system—as-
cends the witness-box, delivers himself of whatever
stale falsehood, or fresh crudity, may come upper-
most in his wretched mind—and commands, in the
colu.nos of the oreans of Power, ample room and
verge enough for whatever his mouth may hare left un-
uttered, 'These are the fit Thus Oat'ses of Anti-Manu-
facturing and Anti-Commercial Policy. Manufac-
turers and Merchants l—yeu see their agency encou-
raged systematically. You ace their denunciations of I
yourselves as she gorged tyrants of the nation (you,
alas !--struggling to keep your heads, and the hands
employed by you, above water you, alas ;.-.victims,
the Old man of the Land)--
like your workpeeple, of
you see these Titus Oates-like ravings transferred
with alacrity to the Times and Standard from the
proper and natural obscurity in which the public would
otherwise leave them. You see all this—Conservative
uacnt of capital and entespriac—can you doubt what it
means ? Can you doubt the rabid sate of the minds
to which this virulence is welcome food ? Can you
doubt the fixe I intentiou to injure you on the part of
those who suborn and spread it all ? Can you doubt
that they feel they have injure I you by their policy
of monopoly—that they mean to persist in injuring
you—and that they aid in getting up these clamours
against the factories--simply because they cannot en-
tirely stifle the cousciousness that they are drying up
the Source of our manufacturing and commercial pros,
perity—and because they wean to stifle, in the cars of
others, the cries of their victims. We tell this ilk-
honest pack—whether in public offices, or newspaper
ones, or Socialist conventicies—whether in durance
vile, or unwhipped of justice—that all their revived
efforts come a day too late. It seems to be forgotten
that we have had ad this belie-el—that no worthless
clamour can succeed with the same public twice—that
the old Sadier and Ten Hours' Bill blaze won't make
a house-warming (or the new Miuistry,
STANDARD.—" The position of the Tory ((im-
servalive) press is ridiculous enough. They dare not
be silent, and yet what can they say ? Of S,r Robert
Peel's intentions they appear to know about as much as
they do of the intentions of the Emperor of China."
Such are the terms in which our state is com-
passionated by a Whig-Radical Contemporary. That
we have liitle new to say of the intentions of the Go-
vernment is true. These intentions were, however, pretty
candidly disclosed by the Prime Minister him-
self during the last session, as far as concerns their
genera( direction. If he had any secrets he kept them
very successfully; and it would not consist with wisdom,
having kep:.thern so long, to communicate them now to
us of the press, whose prov:nee it certainly is not to
guard very faithfully such hidden deposits. S.r R. Ped
has plainly told the country upon «hat principles he
proposes to carry on the Government, namely,
by protecting equally and impartia'ly all existing
interests and institutions, as far as can be consistent
with the national prosperity and progress ; and the
country Las testifiel its furl satisfaction with this expla-
nation by recovered confidence, and a consequently im-
proving revenue. It is very natural for the organs of
an Administration that lived for more than ten years
upon " enormous lying," and upon successive " clap-
traps," to appreciatetie inconvenience to which we are ex-
posed in the service of men too honest and too wise to deel
in an; stories and cout-s d'elat ; just as one can fancy the
• coatemptuous commiseration with which a Davus
looked upon the lium-drum life of his old master's
more faithful domestics. But ioconvenient as it meat
be to lively spirits to fulfil the every day duties of
an honest service, it suits very well with tl:a'
phlegmatic temperament which disposes amen to
prudence and to Conservatism. We are contested to
set off the blessings of peace and security, which we
enjoy, against the professional gain of publishing
in advance an .aimanack of violent revolutions ; and
our Contemporaries who were in the favour of the late
Government ought in reason to remember that they
have themselves exhausted the spring of this latter
source of gain. It is about eight years since Lord
Brougham said, " We have dene much in the last year,
- and. therefore we shall do little in this, and still less in
the year following." But the diminishing series must
surely approach to hi/ at the end of eight annual steges,
and at the entl of the eighth stage we have arrived.
COU BIER.—It is not without satisfaction we per-
ceive the l'irnes returning from its first unsound and
hasty judgment On the point of state etiquette now in
controversy between the Ambassador of Louis Phi-
lippe and the Regent of Spain. The pretension in
the first place set up by, or for, Espartero, exclu-
sively to replete the ceremonial to be observed
iu the intercourse between the Court of Madrid and
the representatives of sovereign power duly accredited i
to it, is manifestly untenable, and would be really ab-
surd, if net arrogant, but for the one precedent in
his favour afforded by the course pursued during
the preceding Regency on a similar presentation of
letters of crdence. The French Ambassador of that
Clay, as is known, made no hesitation in placing his
credentials at once into the hands of Queen Regent
Maria Christine. and so far, as succeeding to ter po-
litical power, Regent Espartero would seem entitled
to claim, as of right, the same act of deference and
acknowledgment. But the analogy thus existing is
qu stifled or destroyed by other accompanying incidents,
which separate the two cases by a sufficiently broad and
distinguishing margin. For Maria Christina has been
Queen Consort, Queen Sovereign, in fact, herself, and she
stood in the 'situation not only of Queen Regent, but of
• Queen Mother and Guardian to the young Isabella. E.
partero occupies, however, one only of these positions,
for though Regent, lie is not even tutor to the Queen,
nor has he custody of the Royal person, a charge with
which, as is well known, Senor Agustin Arguelles is
specially invested. The precedent of Maria Christina,
therefore, will not serve the turn of Espartero, for she
could claim, not as Regent merely, but as Guardian
and Queen-Mether ; not as of right to the political re•
presentation of the juvenile Sovereign alone, but tootthe
personal representation. In her person the right as c:r
-vitiate officii, was, therefore, much more complete,
not absolute.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

rnobi THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mile,
which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 103 d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.82, and
the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.45,
it follows that gold is 0.52 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris.

Ry advices from Ilamburgh, the price of gold is 428
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 175.10-}d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of la. 6-t-
-' and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13. Bi, it follows that gold is 0.93 per cent. dearer
in London than in Itamburgh,
The Government broker was again a seller of stock
-to-tiay for bank-notes, and did a good deal of business.
This, of course, made money scarce and prices fiat ; for
:whereas, in the early hours of business, not more than
3 per cent. could be got for money, 3 per cent. was the
cnrrent rate at the close. •
ADVERTISER.—We have accounts of the 2d inst.
from the Chrimmas fair of Leipsic, which state, that
although the number of foreign buyers present exhibited
u. falling off, the agents of the Levant houses had made
~some large purchases. A strange accusation is brought
against the agents of an attempt to introduce light gold
into circulation, but which is said to have been frus•-•
tatted. The stale of the fur trade is much complained
of in these advices, and, in addition to the mildness and
`uncertainty of the winter, the absence of any demand for
furs in England, on account of the China market, is as-
signed as a reason fbr the depression. Cheap Prussian
otton fabrics sold .well, but not at satisfactory prices for
the manufacturers. There were Inv sales in iron goods.
The new scale_ for dues to be levied at the passage of
the Sound, us fixed between this country and Denmark,
•Itad force from the Ist of January instant, vessels of all
nations participating in the " benefit of the reductions
made, and which there is every reason to hope will be
found more advantageous and snore lucrative to the Ex-
chequer of Copenhagen itself, by promoting an extension
of navigation in that.quarter.
