TEII4I SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY VVENINn, NOVEMBER, 26, 1845.

ROBERT PEEL remain true to the tactics hitherto in-
variably forming the guide of his policy, he must come
forth a free-trader in corn, and carry into full effect his
principle, that it is expedient to buy in the cheapest and
sell in the dearest market. It is true, he cannot outbid
the present offer made by Lord JoHN RUSSELL; but if
he is anxious, as he has hitherto shown himself, to cul-
tivate the support of the great manufacturing districts,
and remove the absurd anomaly that still exists respecting
the trade in corn, he must come up to the same
pitch with his rival, conciliate the feelings of the great
mass of the people, and " put an end to a system which
has been proved to be the blight of commerce, the bane
of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among
classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and t=rims
among the people." These are not times to trifle with
the community by neglecting the general good for the
benefit of a few monopolists. The danger of famine, at
least high prices, is beyond the possibility of a doubt, and
should the winter prove severe ar.a a scarcity ensue, the
sufferings of the people would generally and justly
be attributed to a scheme which had only
one real objection in vi=ew—to raise the prices of
the necessaries of life, /Ind put money into the landlords
pockets, but which has inflicted still greater evils by
stinting the cultivation of grain in corn-growing
countries, sad thereby depriving the starving peo-
ple of Great Britain and Ireland of supplies
which otherwise would have been bountifully provided.
For these reasons we regard this plain, unassuming letter
of Lord JOHN RUSSELL as the most important docu-
ment that has appeared for many years. It will
form a watchword for the whole Liberal party ;
its Fta teme nts will• be re-echoed throughout the United
Kingdom, and no rest will be given to any Minister, of
whatever party, till the corn-laws are utterly abolished,
and every restriction on the admission of food and
clothing used by the people be finally removed.
With the appeal of Lord Jour; RUSSELL to the men of
his order we close these (remarks.—" It is no longer
worth while to contend for a fixed duty. In 1841 the
free-trade party would have agreed to a duty of Bs. a
quarter on wheat, and, after a lapse of years, this
duty might have been further reduced, and ulti•
mately abolished. But the imposition of any duty
at present, without a provision for its extinction
within a short period, would but prolong a contest
already sufficiently fruitful of animosity and discontent.
The struggle to make bread scarce and dear, when it is
clear that pert, at least, of the additional price goes to
increase rent, is a struggle deeply injurious to an aristo-
cracy which (this quarrel once removed) is strong in
property, strong in the construction of our Legislature
strong in opinion, strong in ancient associations, and the
memory of immortal services."

The corn-law is producing its effects even more
rapidly than we had anticipated. The people of Eng-
land are at this moment, paying weekly 400,0001.
more for bread-corn than they were paying this time
last year, and, as a natural consequence, the trade of
the manufacturing districts is suffering. Mr. COBDEN,
at the great free-trade meeting at Sheffield, on Monday
last, declared that, " within the last six weeks they had
suffered in Lancashire a more sudden and severe depres-
sion than had been sustained since the time of the peace."
He adds, "It was not a difficult matter to account for
the suddenness of this depression. They had a wheat
harvest deficient in quality and in quantity in this coun-
try, and they had also the failure of the potato crop ;
and these evils together caused a rise of at least 50 per
cent. in the cost of their provisions. Every one before
him, both the wholesale and retail dealer, understood
what were the legitimate effects of a bad harvest. Every-
body, therefore, was acting upon that knowledge, which,
to no small extent, was owing to the preachings and
teachings of the League. Everybody understood that
the high price of food, which was the result of a bad
harvest, caused a bad state of trade, and the wholesale
and retail dealers, immediately that they saw the pros-
pect of a bad harvest, before them, ceased to buy large
stocks of manufactured goods, lest by-and-by these
stocks should be left unsaleablei on their hands.
What becomes now of that fallacy of the monopolists,
that when bread is dear wages rise? Bread is dear--
have wages risen ? This corn-law we are told was
enacted for the especial benefit of the agricultural
labourer. Does he now receive a larger gum weekly
for wages than he received this time last year ?
If the monopolist doctrine were true he ought,
and he ought also to be a better customer to the
manufacturer; now that bread is dear, than he was when
bread was cheap. lint he is not a better customer now
than ha was last year, because, as he has to expend a
larger amount of his wages for bread, he has the less
to spare for clothing, and he knows to his cost
that his wages have not risen as the price of bread
has risen. Working men have found out the delusion
which the monopolists have been practising on them, and
it will go down with them no longer. To quote again the
words of Mr. COBDEN—" Working men now understand
that a high price for provisions does not cause high
wages, but, on the contrary, that high wages and a low
price of food invariably accompany each other."
That a period of distress is fast approaching in the ma-
nufacturing districts, is, we fear, but too evident, and dis-
tress and famine, says Dr. TRoarsosi, at the Sheffield
meeting, are always the forerunners of pestilence. But
that the corn-law will be suffered to do its worst
we cannot for one moment believe. Thanks to the la-
bours of the League, the people are now enlightened,
as to the cause of their distress, and, as was well observed
by Mr. BRIGHT, whose speech at this meeting was one
of the most admirable which that eloquent ad-
vocate of free trade has ever delivered—" The
people constantly and invariably attribute the pre-
sent depression of trade to the operation of the
corn-law. This law, which was passed ostensibly for
the purpose of protecting the native industry of the
country, and to give us, who are manufacturers, a con-
stant supply of good custom from the home trade, to
give to capital a fair profit, and to labour fair wages ;
this law, which promised so much is now looked
upon by almost everybody as the guilty party, in
causing the present almost universal depression."
Under these circumstances there cannot be a doubt but
that the great majority of the people will join the
League in making " a long pull, a strong pull, and a
pall altogether," which shall, to use a legal phrase, at
once prostrate the nuisance of monopoly. The resolution
which Mr. BRIGHT proposed at the Oldham meeting
should be made a standing resolution at all anti-starvation
meetings throughout the country. If at all these meet-
ings it were resolved, "We won't stand it any
longer," the affair would be very soon settled. Mean-
while the League is proceeding stea lily and deter-
minedly to fight the battle of free -trade in the
Registration Courts. " Register! register ! register !"
is now the motto of the League, which 'they have bor-
rowed from Sir ROBERT PEEL ; and the ,day is not far
distant when he will return the compliment t, by assuming
as his own, their motto—" Free Trade with all the
World."

We have received Madrid journals of t he 18th inst.,
but they bring no intelligence of the sligh test interest.
The Funds were rather flat on that day, : and only a few
transactions took place in the Three peR Cents., which
closed at 368 at sixty days.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied vith the panic
in the share market and the intelligence frt )m the United
States respecting the Oregon question. I a reference to
the first subject we regret to find that s everal of the
Opposition journals attribute the fall in the share market
in a great measure to English jobbers, who sold out
when the prices were at the height, and, . after realising
considerable sums disappeared. It is n• ft fair to state
the case in this manner, for it is well kno wit that French
speculators adopted the same course, a nd that many
persons in this country, so far from havin g made money
in French railway shares, are losers to a g; -eat amount.
Such a system is not peculiar to any nat ton, and the
French are quite as clever in seizing the fit . occasion to
buy or sell as the English. We also reg.' .et that the
Constlationnei, a journal that should be abt ive national
prejudices, should encourage rather than cho ..ck them by
directing its remarks not so much against th ese English
schemers as against the country. For instaz ice, it says:
—" When we expressed our fears as to the a 'iolent and
excessive displacement of French capital it W a s said that
the English would come to our aid. In fact, t ILe English
capitalists did arrive, and they figured in the li it t of direc-
tors of most of the companies which was multiplied with
such frightful fecundity. But all these banl tens, these
directors, these engineers, these squires, whom t we bor-
rowed from England were only financial supern mneraries
who soon disappeared after making us pay for their
credit at an exorbitant rate." Sentiments b ke these
may be well chargeable with ingratitude. The .French
lines completed and in progress owe much to , nglish
capital and English artisans and labourers, for v thout
them we are fully convinced that not one-half of the
work would have been done. The writer in that jo u rnal
is well aware of the fact, and he therefore finds it net :es-
sary to find other causes for the panic besides , the
schemes of gambling Englishmen. "Up to the ti me
of the adjudication of the northern line, the provint 'es
had to a certain degree refrained from taking part is
the speculations of the Bourse of Paris; but when th is
line was adjudicated, the bankers who had{ five, to 1,
fifteen, and twenty thousand shares in the, affair, ant
who were afraid of provoking a premature fall by sales
in Paris, sold their shares in the principal cities of the
kingdom, 119 w, Marseilles, Strasbcturg, &J. The pro, /

vinces now entered warmly upon. the course that had
been opened to them. There, as in Paris, savings and
credit were both engaged; the bankers realised the
premiums paid by the departments. The latter, how-
ever, soon found that they had taken too heavy a
burthen upon themselves, and the shares came back to
the capital, but they found the paternal door closed, the
first sellers would not run a new chance, and it was neces-
sary to seek for other purchasers. Thus the Bourse was
daily more and more encumbered with shares." The re-
marks on the Oregon affair are confined chiefly to the Op-
position papers. The National, with its usual honesty and
impartiality towards England, declares that the Ameri-
cans have right on their side, and have only to remain
firm. The Courrier Francais says all will end in smoke
" We think there will be much ado about nothing.
When American and British pride shall have cast oft its
fumes, when the journals of the two countries shall
become weary of telling each other coarse truths for the
edification of the galleries, and when, above all, the
dread of a war shall hake shaken credit, and put a check
upon commercial transactions, a moment will come when
they will both listen willingly to the voice of reason, and
conciliation will be easy."
The following are the only other extracts from the
papers of interest :

" It appears (says the Consiitutionnel) that the naval forces
intended to act against Madagascar are much greater than
was at first supposed. It will almost form a squadron, for
at least four, it' not five ships of the line or frigates are talked
of, besides sloops and store-ships, without reckoning those of
the Bourbon station, which are to take part in the expedi-
tion, with the further addition of two steam ships."
"We find the following in the Semaphore of Marseilles of
the 21st The Marquis de Lavalette passed through Mar-
seilles the day before yesterday on his way to Toulon to re-
ceive Ibrahim Pacha, who is expected to arrive there to-
morrow or the next day, in the steam-frigate Nile. The
Egyptian Prince arrived in it at Genoa on the 15th, and on
landing was saluted with guns from all the ships of the Sar-
dinian squadron, the sailors manning the yards. Ibrahim
visited the King, Charles Albert, who received him with
great distinction, and invited him to a grand dinner of 45
covers next day. On the 18th he was to be present at a
grand review of the troops given by his Majesty in honour
of the Prince's arrival."

" The German Universal Gazette has the following
from Palermo, dated the 6th M. de Montebello
arrived here ou the 30th ult., to compliment the Em-
peror and Empress of Russia. The Ambassador was well
received, and invited to dine with the Emperor. His Excel-
lency announced the speedy arrival of two French Princes."'
A good deal of fluctuation took place on the Paris
Bourse on Monday, and after a considerable fall a re-
action took place, and prices improved.

In a second editiOn of the Times, we find the follow-
ing particulars of the adjudication of the Paris and Stras-
bourg and Tours and Nantes lines of railway, which
took place on Tuesday:—
" We have received by extraordinary express the Paris
papers of yesterday, with letters from our correspondent,
dated half-past three o'clock r.m. ; the latter state that at
three o'clock yesterday the Paris and Strasbourg line was ad-
judged by the Minister of Commerce to the united com-
panies represented by General Cubieres on a lease of 43 years,
286 days.

" The Tours and Nantes line was equally adjudged to the
Company represented by Count de la Pinsonniere, Messrs.
Mackenzie, O'Neill, and Co., on a lease of 34 years and
15 days.

" For the Paris and Strasbourg line there was no compe-
tition. For the Tours and Nantes line there were two
bidders—namely, the Company represented by Messrs. La
Pinsonniere, and the Company of Post-masters represented
by M. Dailly. The biddings were to lease the line for a
number of years below the minimum (35 years) fixed by the
Minister.

" Mr. Mackenzie proposed taking the line at a reduction
of 350 da3s.
" M. Dailly proposed taking it at the maximum.
" M. La Pinsonniere was consequently declared the suc-
cessful bidder.

" Considerable excitement has 'prevailed here during the
day,' says ourßourse letter of Tuesday. At the commence-
ment of business attempts were made to sustain prices. The
Three per Cents. and Five per Cents. were respectively quoted
at a higher figure than the closing one of yesterday, but they
speedily gave way. A similar remark is applicable to Shares.
Northerns, which were up to 82i, subsequently receded."'
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tues-
day at 81f. 90c. ; the Five per Cents. 117 f. ; the Orleans
Railroad Shares, 1,115 f. ; Rouen, 915 f. ; Northern, 665 f. ;

MONET and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales at steady prices, 2,500 being on speculation. Shares
were dull again, and prices still drooping.
Quite a sensation has been produced to-day by the mani-
festo of Lord John Russell, addressed to his constituents,
the electors of the City of London, on the state of the
country, and what measures ought to be adopted
in the present state of affairs. Never has a document
been presented to the public which has commanded
so large a degree of attention, and the contents of which
has given so universal a degree of satisfaction. Most man-
fully does Lord John come forward at the present juncture,
and declare himself in favour of the utmost amount
of relief being afforded to the poor (and much
to be feared, in many instances, ere long, unless strin-
gent remedial plans are to be adopted, life will be sacrificed)
in the approaching winter, BY THE OPENING OF TILE PORTS
AT ONCE, FOR A LIMITED PERIOD. To wait till the Parlia-
ment assembles before any step is taken, is pure
folly, and displays a recklessness on the part of
the Ministry as to the condition of the millions,
that if persisted in must tend to bring Sir Robert Peel into
bad odour with all classes but those who revel in the luxuries
afforded by the continuance of bread and other monopolies.
We learn from the Baltic ports that a considerable quan-
tity of wheat has been in the course of exportation for this
country—indeed a much larger amount than was expected
to be sent at the present advanced season of the year. It
may be expected that the navigation in the north of Europe
will soon be blocked up by ice.
