1N from London Standard, Dec. 81 s.o


The fabrication OF the Times on the corn law
question continues the principal topic OF converfa-
lon in the city. Even the most ardent of the anti
corn law party, however, now abandon all hope OF
its truth; and if any confidence is to be placed in
the anathemas pronounced on the leading journal
for the deception 1t has practced, 1t Is IN fair way
of reapng the fruits OF its mendaclty Merchants and
bankers are preverbal for dealing matters Of fact,
and they anticipate an immense advantage will ac-
crue from the incident, by pointing out the sources
on which they can in future rely Tor informa- ma
ton on all matters otsdeep public Importance With
respect TO report IN circulation on Saturday, al
legng that the Times had hazarded the statement on
a communication received from an American func-
uonary, we are authorised to state fact which may
have some bearing on the case, as far as Mr.. Lane
the ambassador, is concerned. That gentleman LETT
London for Paris early on Tuesday, on business
where he now remains ; and as the statement Of
the Times did not appear until Thursday morning,
the interval between these two events is not un-
worthy OF notice. The opinion, indeed, on the
stock exchange this morning s, Times had
shade sembance OF authority for the state
ment, it has been hoaxed by some understrapper,
and the members congratulate themselves on their
sagacty in not allowing themselves TO be msled by
the bodness OF the averment, even IN the first in
stance, to enter into specuatlons on the expected
consequences. II Is certainly circumstance not a
little remarkable, that according TO the letters re-
ceved this morning from every part OF the country,
so little faith was placed IN the veracity OF the
Times that we have not heard OF single case IN
to any party to commit themselves by specializing
on Its truth. s@s Y-eN

We understand that the Lord Mayor has ap-
constituency OF the city, to consider the ques-
ton of the corn laws, in compliance. with the
requsltion presented to HIM few days ago
His lordshp, it is understood, will preside
the occasion, without further mixing himself up
with the proceedings than in preserving order and
insisting upon far play to all persons desrous Of
taking part in the discussion, whether in favor OF
or adverse to the measures TO be proposed. A nu-
merous assembsgc may be expected, for there is
no abatement Of the interest et in the matter, by
the discussions OF the public press for the last few
days. The remaining yotaries Of the Tunes are
above all other persons in state of bewilderment,
the tergversations Of the leading journal from day
to day, leaving them quite at a no~pias.
