POLITICAL RETROSPECT.

A CENTURY has elapsed since England was deluded into a general admiration of the South-Sea scheme, which promised to enrich every subscriber to its funds, and ended by beggaring one half of the people. It seems as if political and commercial feelings recurred, as they say the seasons do after a considerable interval; for mad and unfounded speculation is again in fashion, and many an honest individual has been ruined, or is about to be ruined by gambling in foreign funds.

If our own national debt were the safest of all securities, which it is very much the fashion to deny, there might be some excuse though there would be less temptation for embarking property in foreign countries upon a similar security, and with the prospect of a better return. But when the funds of the most opulent and settled country are said to be in danger, where is the wisdom of trusting to other countries which are less secure, and which, if a national bankruptcy ever happen in Great Britain, would lose no time in following so splendid an example, and justifying themselves by so unexceptionable a precedent. We do not say this from any apprehension which we ourselves entertain re.

specting the stability of the public funds. We have too good an opinion of the resources, of the integrity, and of the wisdom of our countrymen, to believe that a forced reduction of the public creditor's interest will be advocated by any party or any individuals of respectability. But it seems to be generally imagined that the difference between domestic and foreign security is a mere difference of more and less; and that Columbian Bonds, or Spanish Scrip, are almost as substantial as English Consols, and much more lucrative. Nothing has been talked or thought of in the politico-mercantile world during the last six weeks, but the profit or loss upon foreign stock. The mania has extended to persons of good life and conversation, who have hitherto been content to live upon the lawful interest of their money, but are now anxious to seize an opportunity of doubling their capital, and trebling or quadrupling their income. The newspapers no longer able to excite an interest, and force a sale by bloody battles against our enemies, or as bloody seditions among ourselves, are beginning to do a little in the stock-jobbing line. The gentlemen of the press have entered into an alliance with the gentlemen of the Alley-and the breathless anxiety which was formerly felt to know the latest intelligence from Spain or Manchester or Brandenburgh, is now manifested upon subjects of a very different class-upon the rise or fall of a Chilian loan, or the newest stock-jobbing report from Venezuela.

We need hardly warn our graver readers against a participation in such egregious folly. But they may be asked to consider whether their more imprudent fellow creatures ought not to be protected by the legislative power, against such formidable enemies to their peace. Of course it is impossible to prevent the negotiation of foreign securities in this kingdom. As long as London is the centre of trade and credit, all nations will send their paper, more or less openly, to her market Buonaparte told O'Meara, that his army marched to Waterloo by means of bills, which were accepted and discounted in England. And there is nothing improbable in the fact nothing that the most vigilant administration could prevent. But what we think they might prevent is the professed and notorious gambling, of which the funds and especially foreign funds are the in. strument. Some laudable though late attempts are making to discover and punish the owners of common gaming houses. Why might not the same vigilance be extended to the greatest of all gaming houses-and the stock-jobbers be prevented from raising or lowering the value of six hundred millions of money for their own private emolument?

Whenever the foreign-loan bubble bursts, and burst it shortly will, the sufferers will principally consist of

those who had some property to lose, and the winners will be such as sold in time and have realised considerable profits without risking any capital. What effect will this produce upon the minds of men who are already prejudiced against all descriptions of stock-holders, who consider them as drones in the hive of industry, as the grand cause of national weakness and distress? Will not such persons confound the real proprietor of stock with the speculator who has gambled himself into sudden riches? will not the odium due to the one be transferred not unnaturally to the other?-Will not the cry against taxes, as levied solely for the fundholder, be increased by a supposition, that he has come unjustly by his wealth.And is it not expedient in such circuinstances to convince the public of their mistake, by putting an end to those transactions from which the delusion springs? There might be ample occupation for the frequenters of the Stock Exchange, although they were limited to the bona fide | sale of British securities.-Fictitious bargains are a fruitful source of profit; but the quarter from which those profits really spring is the ge. nuine owner of funded property. He ought to be secured against the loss to which he is now exposed by the tricks and caprice of the speculators-this security would tend more to do away the prejudices against the national debt than any dishonest or temporary composition with the public creditor, and we cannot but hope that the excessive impositions which have passed under the name of foreign loans, will lead to the proscription of all similar practices.
