Calais and Dover. The other mail from Paris will leave

A FALSE PROPHET.—The utter failure of all the pre-
dicted advantages of free trade is as evident and undeni-
able as is the fulfilment of many of the warnings uttered-
by its opponents. A Stockport paper greets Mr. Cobden's
return tb 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 then
have full employment at advanced wages; every spindle
and every loom 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, new
houses, new churches and chapels will spring up around
you."
M. COBDEN ON THE CIIRRENCY.—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 thfA
the currency question should be taken up in the same re-
solute spirit as that of the corn laws, and urged on Par-
liament in the same powerful and persevering way. NoW
that restrictions on corn have been removed, why should
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: Mr.Cobden
forced, by the failure of all his predictions, to fall upon
the currency system as the true cause of that failure !
Well, whether this course shows honesty or not, it cer-
tainly shows sagacity. He has most assuredly " got the
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..
hese..
sentially false, hollow, unprincipled, and unsound. i
assails it with vigour, it will fall, and its fall will he his
establishment as a statesman.
