MONEY MARKET-YESTERDAY.

£15,000 in gold, on account of the Emperor of Russia, WO
arrived by the steamer from St. Petersburg.
The English market remains tranquil this morning, the
quotations remaining about the same as they closed on Satin'
day; the India news has no influence. In the Foreign market
there is no change. In the Share market there is very little
doing, and the quotations, -almost nominal, are the same as
they closed last week. The following are the quotations :

82 3-; Three per Cent- Consols, 84i ; Three-and-a-Quarter per

THE NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH FRANCE;
—lt is understood that by the new arrangement one man
is to leave London every day at half-past eleven in the
morning, to arrive in Paris the following morning at hag'
past four o'clock ; this mail is to be conveyed vid Dover
and Calais. The other mail is to leave London with the
ordinary mails at half-past eight at night, and is to be
conveyed vid Dover and Boulogne, and will reach Parls
at half-past ten the following morning. From Paris a
mail will be despatched daily at noon, to reach Londol
at half-past four in the morning • this is to come vte
Calais and Dover. The other mail from Paris will leave
at seven o'clock in the evening, and reach London at
half-past ten on the following morning ; this will be core
veyed rid Boulogne and Dover.
A FALSE PROPHET.—The utter failure of all the pre'
dieted advantages of free trade is as evident and undeni:
able as is the fulfilment of many of the warnings utterea
by its opponents. A Stockport paper greets Mr. Cobden 'S
return to England by a republication of one of his letters,
addressed, in 1841, to his constituents in that place. In
this letter, vituperating the corn law, he says,—,, When
that law is abolished, you will eat bread made from Ame-
rican flour, at three-halfpence a pound ; you will thee
have full employment at advanced wages; every spindle
and everrloom in Stockport will be set in motion ; every
shopkeeper will be prosperous ; every house will be ten-
anted ; your numbers will increase, and new mills, nevi
houses, new churches and chapels will spring up around
you."

MR. COBDEN ON THE GURRENCY.—Mr. Cobden, it
appears, has recently written a letter to a friend at Aber-
deen, some passages of which have already appeared in
print. In one of these he says:—" Sir Robert Peel is
equally wrong on the currency question, but he is still
swayed by his false financial theory. It is high time that
the currency question should be taken up in the saine„re..:
solute spirit as that of the corn laws, and urged on li:rc;w,
liament in Me same powerful and persevering wil,'
ld
that restrictions on corn have been removed, why shou
they remain on currency ? Free trade surely means free
trade, not in .one branch only, but in every branch.
This is certainly a curious position of affairs :re t upon
.obden
forced, by the failure of all his predictions,
the currency. system as the true cause a• that failure !
Well, whether this course shows honesty or not, it cer-
tainly shows sagacity. He has most assuredly "got the
to
right sow by the ear." There is no other plea which
would have stood him in so good stead; for in attacking
the present currency system, he attacks that which is es-
sentially false, hollow, unprincipled, and unsound. If he
assails it with vigour, it will fall, and its fall will be his
establishment as a statesman.
