Commercial. ... ..-r....a
There seems 10 be but ans sentiment in England
as 10 the gloom which hangs over the commercial
prospects Of the country. The "Tirnes" Publishes
an elaborate article show that the free-rade poll
ey will not, Of iisslG be strong enough to prevent
war; and the opening Of the ports at once by a
treasury order 10 certain articles Of food not now
free, upon security for such duties may hereafter
be fixed by Parliament, though regarded as meas
ure at once wise and bold, does not give any con-
siderable activity and impetus to trade. In refer
ence to commercial prospects, we find IN the "Eu-
ropean Times" striking article, from which We
make such extracts our space will allow. That
journal says;
THE commercial accounts from all parts Of the
country arc responding and gloomy. With he soil
ary exception Of the iron trade, IN which great aciiy
ity prevails, owing to temporary causes, there Is
not branch Of manu- featuring industry which Is not
suffering more or less under paralysis. In many OF
the manufacturing towns there are thousands OF
workmen out OF employment; the markets for all
descriptions Of produce In a state Of stagnatlon;
stocks daily the increase, with sinking prices
and diminishing consumption; and, IN short, a
condition Of things exists which threatens To suspend
all the ordinary functions OF commercial and manu-
featuring industry.
at is hardly necessary to state that this depres-
son-which every week renders more calling and
ruinous-hss liz primary origin in the uncertainty
which still hangs about the fate of the tariff. Other
causes undoubtedly conit fetter the wheels OF
trade; but the great impeachment is the at which
we have glanced. A panic appears to be impend-
ing.
The gloom which hangs over business has been
gradually deepening during the last six weeks--the
last fortnight being the darkest of all. Under the
most favorable circumstances, there seems little
chance OF seeing the new tariff on the statute-book
before the end of May; and it will be at least the
middle of that month before the critical stage-the
second readng--can have passed the upper branch
Of the Legislature. II, unhappy, the measure should
be thrown out, the summer viii be consumed IN the
turmoil of general election, and autumn will hard
ly see the new Parliament assembled.
The stoutest heart may stand appalled, when it con-
templates the consequences which must inevitably
result from the rejection of policy to which every
man in the kingdom, who has the least pretensions
to the character of practical statesman is irrevoca-
bly, welded; policy which is opposed solely by
the heavy country squres by sporting lord or two,
whose knowledge of arithmetic is confined to ma
king book at Ne wmarket AMI Epsom and by 4
fashy orator, clever at rounding period, and man.
