his correspondence remittances ; as well those he

entire system of exchange paralyzed. His engagements have
not been fulfilled. His credit and the credit of his correspon-

the correspondence between London and Cabul is actually
shorter and more regular than it is at times between London
and Demerara, or between Liverpool and Jamaica.
"The breaches of contract, in this instance, in not starting
the steamer with the mails at her appointed time, and the
substituting in winter a small for a large-class steamer, are
matters for the consideration of Government ; but the public
are entitled to insist on more regularity. Government have
laudably fostered a great and arduous undertaking, but
leniency may be carried to an imprudent length. Let us
hope we shall not experience such another year in, this
branch of our transatlantic communications.

governments exist he not a mockery—must be pro-
tected by lnyistation. We care not for the philosophy—
the cold, heartless philosophy—which says that you
must not interfere between the labourer and his price;
paying a large amount of which talks of " labour markets "as flippantly as the

musselman talks of tile markets,

from which he fills

his Harem with broken-hearted victims of their own
God-given beauty, or the Cuban planter talks of his
traffic for men with the markets of Africa. We will
not be driven from our position by the parrot-like
repetition of mere politico-economical slang, for this
simple reason, that we meditate nothing so silly and
absurd as the interference which our philosophers'
denounce. We do not say to parliament, " Fix the
minimum or maximum price of labour by legislative
enactment ;" we leave such an idiocy to the men who
talk of " corn rents " and similar trashy conceits : but
we say, " Carry out your interference to its legitimate
extent, upon the same principles which you have
recognised as salutory principles in all your past
