 1Ae .New Commercial Poicy of Great
 Brtaia-Probable Result of the Debate. -The debate on Sir Robert Feels Free trade propositions to morrow, 1t Is needless to say, will be one of the most interesting that has taken place for many years in the British House ol Commons The attention of the whole country Is directed to the im- portance of the question involved, and to the greatness of the struggle. The interval that has elapsed since ministerial measure was first propounded, has given time to all parties to weigh well it's merits, and to calculate its results The monopoIisls do pot now pre- sent the same front and united phalaux, as they did some short time since. It is true that small portion of them are still deter mined to fight the battle out, though it be apparent, even to themselves, that their ulli- mate defeat IS inevitable. Others of them have begun to admit glimmering of light into thelr hitherto darkened understandings. Like the premier himself, they see the error to their ways, and are now ready to admit, aud by thelr votes to give effect to the ad- mission, that free trade IS not only good in theory, but that the circumstances of the country render 1t necessary that 1t should now be reduced to practice.

 The Funds were more firm.
