Hen, Colburn, Publisher. 13, Great Marlborough-street.  1844, is still to be pofmitted to run out its whole calamitous career, not only will the panic of 1825 be renewed, but a consummation far more awful and ovowliehning will inevitably distinguish the 20th anniversary of the first of those years of ruin and spoliation. In order to keep the tendencies of railway investment in their present beneficial coui se, and to avert the terrible catastrophe, to which we cannot allude without dismay, what will the Minister do ? We venture to predict with confidence, that the dreaded result on the one hand is only to be averted, on the other to be partially repaired (for if it happen it cannot be radically compensated), by an organic departure from the principles of our present monetary system. It will not be the last, nor even the most surprising of the transmutations to which Sir IL PEEL'S elementary views of economic policy and government are subject, when he makes up his mind to the indispensable necessity of repealing all the Acts we have mentioned, and resorting to a less restricted and less anomalous issue and recognition of bank paper,  The British nation, almost to a man, admit the great blessings conferred on this country by the general peace established in 1815, and would view with regret any interrup • Lions of peaceable relations with any great power, and, above all, with France. They fiad better employment for their money in domestic improvements—such as the construction of railways and steam-vessels, or in the increase of our colonies, and the opening up new markets fur our manufactures— than in lending money to foreign Governments that seldom or never pay, or in furnishing subsidies to carry on wars for maintaining a certain race of Kings, or in paying enormous taxes to keep up a large fleet and army chiefly to give situations to the scions of nobility, or benefit the supporters of a Tory Ministry. The art of war is at a discount here, and with a reformed House of Commons and the vast amount uf capital employed in peaceful occupations, nothing but a grievous national insult, or a wanton aggression on some of the vital interests of the ration abroad. could rigain louse the warlike energies of the people. The only fighting people, in fact, in these "piping tunes of peace" are the editors of certain journals in England and France. So caent occurs in reference to the relations of the two ccuntriee which does not afford scope for their pugnacious propensities; and when facts cannot be found, imagination is set at work to devise some grievance, or slight, or. insult which the oneparty may attribute to the other. For a long time the writers in the Republican and Legitimatist journals of France had the monopoly of this business. These of England, with a spirit which did them great honour, generally stood aloo; and regarded with silence, not unmixed with strong feelings of abhorrence, these wicked attempts to embroil two great countries.

A,n we regret incurable jealousy of French diplomatists, and admirals, and ge.2er4l'S pervades certain journals to a degree which, were its effee.:2 not mischievous, would be utterly ridiculous. According to them our influence in Greece is undermined; French plots are at work in Constantinople and Alexandria ; Morocco is to become a French province ; Tangiers is to be a set-off against Gibraltar ; and the last invention of all is not the least remarkable—Chusan, when evacuated by -the English, is to be handed over to France, and a war between England and France, as a matter of course, is to be forthwith commenced on the Chinese seas. The specific remedy proposed is for the British Government to keep Chusan—a proposition which, were it adopted by the British Government, or in any way countenanced by them, would entail lasting disgrace on the country, and really justify certain French writers in the notorious epithets they have applied to England. The whole story is founded on a mete rumour which prevails at Macao or Hong Kong, and on such a slender basis- is built a vast scheme of French aggrandisetnent in the East, together with every possible abuse of French diplomatists and Frenchmen in general. This is below the dignity of the British nation. They have nothing to fear in that quarter, either from Frenchmen or Attlericatia. Their rulers have hitherto followed the example of the Chinese Government, and honourably observed its engagements, and to break any of them on a mere pretence would only be an exact picture of that policy which these warlike ,journals attribute to our neighbours. Possibly articles of this description are written rather from vanity than malignity, for tt rage has sprung up among certain jouraalists to have their lucubrations quoted and commented upon in the Paris papers, and to a certainty they will obtain their wish as far as regards their mischievous articles on the late intelligence from China. The proposed plan for retaining Chosen will be justly described, and we shall be told that it is only et:tether instance of that crooked, selfish, and wicked policy so long pursued by " perfide Albion," We only hope and trust that the sentiments expressed in one or two journale will not be re stillo uGttpeople garded as the sentiments of the Government, and the nation. of E We bei anxious to remain on good terms with France, that ".ational antipathies are rapidly wearing off, and that writers who fan the dying embers of discord are alike the enemies of both countries, and ought to be held up to public scorn and reprobation. niga lea-en,a .are most . with Lord uR A lessiim, hosteha of  We have received Madrid journals of the 18th and 19th inst., from which we learn that complete tranquillity reigns throughout the country, and that the only topics of discussion refer to the QUEEN'S marriage, and the business of the ensuing Cortes. In these, however, we find- little novelty. Most of these journals are opposed to the marriage of the QUEEN with the Count of TRAI'ANI, and seem still less disposed to favour the claims of the Prince of
