at the expense of the past, nor are we ignorant
how heavily taxation still presses on the labour-
ing people, whose wages are often really inade-
quate tO.their support. But the people are
.grossly deceived if they imagine a recurrence to
the restrictive system of trade would place more
comforts within their reach than a liberal tariff.
What they want is an abundance of those things
required by their physical wants, in the satisfac-
of which, (according to COBBETT) liberty con-
sists. A reference to the Parliamentary Return
we have quoted, will prove that a reduction of
duty has been invariably followed by an increased
consumption, and that Dean SwiFT's remark has
been fully verified, " that in the arithmetic of the
Customs, two and two do not always make four."
Some articles, such as tea, have risen, notwith-
standing the high duties ; but, comparing the
receipts for wine, rum, and coffee, for the years
immmediately preceding and succeeding the re-
ductions, the policy of those reductions in a
financial point of view, is most striking. But the
most' important consideration is, after all, the
happiness of the people ; and by admitting, at
as moderate charges as possible, the articles of
which they chiefly stand in need, the probability

is that the amount of national enjoyment \Nil
be increased for_the future, in a ratio even mutt
greater than that in which it now exceeds the past

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O' CLOCK.

A Malta mail has arrived this morning, brought by the
Sheldrake, sailed from Malta the 22(1 of September, 'from
Gibraltar the 12th of October, and from Cadiz the 14th
of October.
Accounts from Liverpool state, that there has been a
steady and good demand for Cotton on Thursday, and the
sales were estimated at upwards of 2,500 bales, consisting
of 150 Pernams at 7d. to '7,V. ; 300 Maranhaess at bid. ;
common Cottons, HO for export, at 64d. and bid. for duty
paid ; 100 Bahia, at 61d. id. ; 400 Orleans, at 6d. a itl.,
and about 1,200 Boweds and Alabamas, at sid. a 61,1. The
consumers have been the principal purchasers, and the im-
proved demand for manufactured goods has been fully main-
tained during the present week, and a tolerable fair busi-
ness has been done, but without any improvement in the
prices ; fur yarns of all descriptions the demand continues.

TILE FUNDS.
To the present hour there is a general pause in the Con-
sol Market. Consols opened this morning at the same
price they left off yesterday, 91 for Money, and 911 i
for the Account, since which they may be quoted at 91 t
for Money, and 914 i for Account. The contango for Ja-
nuary Account is per cent. It appears that a large
patty of speculators have been buying for the next Ac-
count, and their object is to carry over the speculations for
January, with an idea that the Funds will experience a
further improvement.
The Mexican packet, which is so anxiously looked for,
still remains due. We have no further information' from
the Continent worth observation.
In the Foreign Market Mexican Stock is still sought
after; in other Securities nothing doing.
Accounts from Manchester state that there is no mate-
rial alteration in the state of the markets.

TWO O'CLOCK.

The Funds have ternained all the morning at 91g. for
Money, and 91k -a for the Account, with little business;
Consols have improved during this week about a per cent.
We are informed that a further reduction of expellees

is going to be made in the Navy Department.
Quebec Papers are arrived to Oct. 1, but their contents
are not of importance. The frost which took place after
the rains has done much damage to the wheat:
In the Foreign Market nothing doing except in Brasil
Bonds and Portuguese Stock ; the former has rather im-
proved, and the latter remains stationary.
