Neither has this, apathy and dis- regard of some of the most important commercial interests of the country been confined to the mer. chants at home.

they were content to rest satisfied that the Home Government would in due season take measures to secure it. The experience of the last half cen tury might have told them the little they could cal. culate on receiving from such a source, without imparting into the Foreign Office a soul-stiring spirit which nothing but union of sentiment, and action on the part of the merchants themselves could effect. They were content, however, to pin their faith on her Majesty's Government; now what has it done? verily after a delay that might have been employed in setting the question fifty times over, they sent a "Post-office clerk" to ne gotiate with the Vice.
