I ' uaattiu ^ r-rtliiit one o our Plenipotentiaries bad come home , —ttittt OrLoff had referred to St . Petersburg for farther instructions : the Funds felt " affected , " but the official countenance was unmoved , ami told nought . The first steps of the Conference have been watched with anxiety , and on the whole with a declining rather than an increasing confidence . If the signs of public trust have continued , it is the result , less of belief in the proceedings of the Plenipotentiaries , than of self-reliance . The high price of th e public funds after a loan is remarkable ; but to a certain extent this is a reproducing cause .
1 * lading that neither a foreign war , nor doubtful relations with intermediate powers , nor borrowing , can bring down the price of funds , people are astonished at their own wealth , th « ir own courage , and their own consistency ; they undergo a paroxysm of self-reliance , and speculate in the funds upon the strength of it . There is , indeed , another cause , in the unquestionable proofs thnt still continue of our commercial steadiness . The returns of the Board of Trade , show aa increase of nearly a million and a half last month * is compared with the previous month , and nn increase slightly above a million and a half on the month just concluded . The reaction is partly owing to the renewed exports on the expectation of peace avnd the armistice on the continent , and partly to a satisfactory reaction after the ( all in the exports to Australia ; while the home consumption , with one striking exception , continues . The exception ia Biigftr—a trade that has undergone violent fluctuations from speculative cause * . Hero , however , is substantial ground for public confidence , aiul our commercial world , like Brahma , has so completely fallen into the habit of sclf-contoinplatioii , that any upward tendency it exhibits i . «

Xpofcyig to hoine ; . ij | Rurs in the political world , there is nothing to cause an increase of confidence j for If tljere is no crisis , there are many ^ sighsof mismanagement somewhere . The real fault in the Government at present seems to be in its not copying the trading world closely enough . Notwithstanding the power it has been able to obtain in Parliament by virtue of its . military position ,, it shrinks from the exercise of that power . Thus , when the official Commissioners corroborate statements from the Crimea , and show that Sir Richard Airev , Lord Lucan , and Lord Cardigan ,, have been guilty of mismanagement—that they are inefficient in the very duties for which it is to be presumed the Horse Guards promoted them—Lord Paxmube and his colleagues take upon themselves the responsibility of promoting the officers , and
name another commission to revise the report of the first . They might have taken tlic matter into their own hands , have made inquiries , and dealt justice to the Horse Guards ; and Lord Panmuiie would be supported in such si course . But it seems to be too boltl for them . The commission thnt they have appointed , bended by Lord Sicaton , is respectable ; but it is more military than tho first , ami is more likely to sympathise with tho Horse Guards , and is thus calculated to aflford a less distinct ground for any further ministerial action .
It is the same with the " We * 8 lib yd axe ense . The Peers hnvtt roundly asserted their right to set aside the prerogative of the Crown and the luw of tho land . They claim to decide the question in which they are parties , without any appeal ; and Ministers , who could tvndily find a inoilu of confronting them nnil vindicating the luw , au'ijuieaee ; simply , it would seem , heeiuiae they aro not prepared to bo so uuducioiis nsLonl L .

With real majesty he dropped his fritnds , the oppugnant Law Lords , and ujtteredL his drspep * sation for the defeated Ministry . "What hei proposed was , a select committee to consider the
necessity and mode of improving the judicial arrangements in the House of Lords . But he suggested a particular plan of doing it . It is to summon the judges , in a hotly , both-from the Equity and Law Courts ,- tp ^ itaaf iq ^^^^ . i ^ t ^ e House , and to deliver judgments in tligj , name . of the Peers . For , if Lor ^ Deuby , will no ^ © jic $ up the nominal authority of the Peers , 03 ^ t ^ s ai'rangement he would enable them to act through deputies , and would so place the House of Peers
on a level with the Crown . Lord Granville introduced an addition , charging the select cojemittee to consider the eifect of any proposed change on the House itself ; and with that amendment the committee was agreed to . The subject of local dues is more complicated . If tho passing tolls levied in the , names of certain ports on the Channel were not justified by any use in those ports for the shipping of oar days—if the local dues levied by tho maritime boroughs are in
many cases the overgrown form , of antiquated ' privileges by which inoneys arc taken from the shipping for purposes not nnvn ) , there are some enses in which the impost ia justified by equity and expediency .
