In another column will be found a report of the in. terview which took place yesterday in Downing street, between Lord John Russell, assisted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and a deputation, con sisting of Mr. Brawn, Mr. Cardwell, and several in fluential gentlemen from Liverpool. The deputation was charged with the duty of presenting to the Premier a memorial, which appeared in this paper on Monday last, and, further, of pressing upon the govern ment the immediate necessity of taking measures for relieving the pressure of the existing monetary crisis, which had paralysed the manufacturing and. commers cial interests of the country. Though the result of the interview is known, of the details of the dis cussion, which lasted over an hour, we have no precise informati 'n. It is, however, said that, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer inquired what remedies were proposed, Mr. Brown suggested an issue of Exchiquer bills, on the security of Console and produce; upon which Sir C. Wood remarked that such a plan had been discussed in the City and was deemed inapplicable to the occasion, and insuffi cient to meet the evils complained of. Mr. Chapman is then said to have pointed out the course adopted in 1823, when the issue of J,000,000t. in notes was found sufficient to restore public confidence, and pro posed that ministers should now authorise a like issue by the Bank, on the deposit of government and East India securities, for a period of six months, at the rate of 6 percent., to which Lord J. It amen replied, that such an issue by the Bank would be at present unlawful. This was, of course, admitted, but it was truly observed, that extraordinary evils would justify extraordinary measures of relief and it was remarked that if the government would only give some as surance of assistance, that alone would go far to restore general confidence. The Chancellor of the Exchequer observed, that the only mode of relief which had been suggested was an issue of notes, which, being contrary to law, the government' did not feel justified in sanctioning; feeling, as they did, that the best remedy for the evils of the present crisis was to allow matters to take their natural course. The reply of Lord John Rus sell to the suggestions of the deputation was prac tically to the same effect. His lordship, of course, expressed the deep sympathy felt by the government for the numerous classes which were at present oaf firing from the effects of tho panic and distrast so generally prevailing. The government, he said, had anxiously weighed every measure of relief that had been proposed, and they did not peen-lade themselves from further considering any anggestions that might be offered ; but hitherto every description of interference that had been proposed was likely, in their opinion, to bring on a recurrence of the present evil, in an aggravated shape, at a future time. Such was the result of the interview ; but though the de putation appears to have effected nothing very deci sive, there is a feeling abroad that, up to Tester day,the government was not fully impressed with the emergency of the present state of commercial affairs. THE CURRENCY. Sitt,—A correspondent of the Times, who signs himself "Spectator," has attempted to cram the "currency question " into a nutshell, which he then cricks, laying the kernel before his readers ea the sum and substance of what demands their attention. This mode of isolating an im portant question, and cutting off all links of connexion that couple it with passing occurrences, is commonly resorted to, both in political and economical discussions, and it is this which leads many to suppose that such discussions lead to no practical use. The weaker party is of course the gainer by the diffusion of this notion. Ili, aim is for the moment gained, if he only succeed in proving that the whole mat ter in dispute is one of comparative insignificance. In this manner, air, has the present currency crisis been isolated by the advocates of the Bank Charter Art from the serious considerations it involves, as 110041 LS its bearing on the true source of wealth, the character and credit of British traders and manufacturers, is put in its proper light. Penn this point of view, the matter in debate cannot be Itsounvd to be whether the Bank of England might safely Lillie d liWe more or a little less; 1101- is a compar.son, such Is "Spec- tator" has given, between the present issues and those of 1539, exhaustive on the suliji et of the limit whi, h the Burk can be ellawed. The ipponeste the restrictive =enures of 1• et are far from taking 'their stand on the Bank Chart, A t abne. but look upon that as the twat cussinsuons of a series of restri•Wve measures, each se.' ell ci which rnilitst• against what is more int pot's,* *ben 8,9 existing bank, the true source of credit in this mss 'I There ere, therefore, other opponents to that =out, torn those whom "Spectator" has chosen to °unwise end, .wc, heeds and they take their stand upon a much r ground than the proportion of the present to the past .sues/ the Bank of England. Wiser we aro asked whether the present issue of ti0,57:,0001. in 1 ink notes is not sufficient, seeing that in 11,39 only 1.5.5i0,0001, was issued by the bank, we must deny that this question can be answered by a plain " yes" or The Bank issues are not yet en isolated fact, according to wb.ch our merchants have to regulate their trading opera tions, although the acts of 18W and 1844 tend to make them such. Accordingly the amount and nature of those issues still receives its stamp from what the nation at large is doing outside the Bank walls. Were we, therefore, to admit that such a question is at all relative to the present crisis, our opponents must allow it to take a more genera: shape, and it becomes this : " Under what circumstances can the cation view the extension of imam by the Bank of England without alarm ? " "Spectator" has answered this question in his own fashion, when he 'aye that not less than 8,5(55,0001. is hoarded in bullion in the Bank cellars. Ile triumphantly sake, there fore, is not this sufficient exertion of credit on such a basis The render, doubtless, here peiceives the nutshell, and the cranny through which all opposition is sought to be crammed into it; but as we have taken our eland outside, we shall answer in our own way. Were the gold in the Bank cellars the real basis on which the present issues rested, we should my they were not only enough, but that they were unjus tifiably, nay, criminally, large. Conjurors as the authors of the Bank Charter Act wish to be thought, we cannot imagine any trick of thimblerigging by which 36,868,1021. of liabilities can be paid on demand in gold out of a stock of sovereigns not exceeding 8,000,0001. We shall, therefore, be excused if we acknowledge thtt the flippant tone which has been adopted in some quarters when the present crisis is talked of, makes a disagreeable impression on our minds. We see an institution, the nature of which. constitutes it a resource for the national credit in emergencies, exposed to immiuent risk, from the I thoughtless lcv.ty of thou' who first created and now sneer at its dtn,p.r. That a continuation of mercantile failures, on the scale of those which happened in September, would lead to a run fur fold must be acknowledged pro bable. How the Bank would meet a run we leave to "Spec tator" and his friends to answer. We do not, however, think the Bank issues exaggerated or reprehensible, but not for the reason on which "Spectator" apolagines for their amount. We believe the "other tecuri het, taken in connexion with the "government securities," to be full value for those issues; and, unier the circumstances which throw the onus of supplying us with a circulating medium, we reirr.l that both the amount of issuer and of the "other securities" ace not larger than we find them. These other securities" are formed of the elite of our merchants' acceptances drawn by houses of unchallenged re putation. Cx-sar was not more careful of his wife's fair name than the Bank is of the unsuspected value of the bills it dis counts. The rule by which it returns a bill as soon as either drawer or acceptor tails has been complained of as a hardship. Be this as it may: with the responsibility now unfairly charged upon the Bank by its supposed friends, the directors cannot be too cautious. Now, the run which the gold cannot by any conceivable circumstances meet or avert is prevented, and may ►e sail to be morally impossible, as long as these '• ether securities " retain their value-in other wads, aa lass as the 'majority of our teldrekents retain their etedik,, Destroy this etedit, lOaetber by false Ice l .:Litton, demoralising ii.ttueneer, war, Ot ruble( ry, and yuu liars your store of bullion to meet the run which becomes inevitable Invigorate trading credit, by education, by reforming your institutions, by ensuring indi viduals who unite in associations for industrial purposes the greatest ponible security and liberty, and it is clear that the store of bullion becomes a luxury which the Bank and the nation can afford to keep, but which yields no mon than the salvers and goblets upon a rich man's sideboard. We have got a somewhat larger horison around us already than " Spectator " wishes to allow ,• but we 'Dust take a slid higher view of the securities on which the Bank issues are founded. Let us consider that the whole amount of com mercial bills in circulation is not lees than 400,000,0001. The 20,000,0004. discounted by the Bank is but a small sum in romper**. It would be a patriotic wish, that a larger proportion deserved to be comprised in the elite. But who is to sit as umpire on their merits " Spectator's" friends, Sir It. Peel, Mr. M'Culloch, and Col. Towns, have con demned the whole mass—they are not drawn against gold. But, in justice, no mere are the 20,000,0001. discounted by the Bank, nor even the 14,090,0001. lent to goveznment. Here, then, we stand on the bores of a dilemma. Will " Spectator " content himself with 9,000,000 sovereigns as the basis of our currency? Hee, he must recommend the Bank to curtail its issues, fur by so doing he withdraws (as has too sorely been felt) the strong hand of government from i protecting the interests of trade ; which means the barter of commodities. He thus reduces commercial actions to a scale Is which it Is possible to represent all goods in geld, sod to mein at this end be must anaihilate all real credit. Tb• other 'view shows that the present issues of the Bank are wit only oak but out of all proportion limited, when we re past **annual increase of the national property and the growth of trade. Since 1839, one hundred and fifty millions of property in railways alone has been created, and the in ternal traffic of the country bag perhaps doubled. An in creased circulation in the present year is so far from being ground of alarm, that the very small amount of that increase must strike every thinking man as an index of pressure ex isting somewhere. By the neglect of this very significant index in some quarters, and its erroneous interpretation by the friends of " Spectator," the present crisis has been brought about.—Scatrraron. Mze&ns.

Two o'Cluck.—We have had some reports this morning that, notwithstanding the positive re fusals to the irentrary to the Liverpool de putation, the government have yielded to the ur gency of the representations made to them, and contemplate affording relief to suffering com merce by an issue of some sort of obliga tions, or authorising the Bank to extend issues in the face of it: act. From Liverpool we hare no fresh disaster.l o ne Liverpool Banking Company, it is eonceiveur were acting the most judicious part, under the circumstances, by paying out the well endorsed paper they had previously discounted. The other backs of that city had met the demands upon thus with the greatest promptitude, having indeed prepared themselves for the worst by sales of stook and Exchequer Bills here on Monday last to the ex. tent of 400,0001. It may be taken for granted,thers. fore, that confidence in the banks will be but moment. slily disturbed. Upon the more favourable reports cur rent before referred to about the intentions of the government, Console went up to 801 to f, far account, but they have since receded to 801 to I foe time, and 791 to i for money. Reduced Threes are 781 to 9. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 79} to f. Exchequer Bills, 30s. to 255. discount. Bank Stoat more firm, at 180 to 2. We have little alteration to notice in foreign stock, in which business remains quite inactive. We quote Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51 to 3; the Fours, 80 to 2. Danish, 78 to 80.

Shewell and Son, stock and share brokers, whose unfortunate suspension was announced some time since, have paid all their engagements in full, and have resumed business as usual. The event has given great satisfaction on the stock exchange, where those gentlemen are highly respected. ENGLISH FUNDS. Beak Stook. tae S 1 Vcr CL Con, Ac. 3 per Ct.

The weather throughout was everything that could be de- sired, and hence the condOion of all grain is unusually good. Wheat was sown more extensively than usual, is an excellent crop, a full average, and of great weight ; it is yielding well to the flail. Barley is less grown than formerly. It is a very good crop, and of nice making quality. Oats, which were thought ill of at one time, recovered much, and may be written a fair average. The breadth of land under ;hie grain increases. while that of Barley diminishes yearly. Neither Beans nor Peas are so much grown as formerly with us, and this year they are very defective indeed, but the quality and condition are good, though the former are some what shrivelled. There was a very fair quantity of old Wheat left in farmers' hands at the harvest of 1846, but we believe that there is less held by them at the present time than for some years past. Factors hold none, and of foreign tke stock f r such a port is only email, especially of fine qualities. The past week has been marked by much dulness in every branch of the trade. The monetary difficulties which have so long oppressed every branch of commerce do not rubeide, and though Hull has fortunately kept clear of failures, or even rumours of failures, every line of business is affected, and rendend unpleasant to tbie leat degree. We trust there are signs of returning esallems (for that is the element whose absence has street so many) in the commercial world, and this cannot fail to have a beneficial influence upon our own trade. At this day's market we had but a small supply of Wheat from the farmers, field operations new engaging their attention ; mil'ers were expecting to buy on moth lower terms than lest week, but farmers being unwilling to submit, the business done was limited, at about 2s. to 3s. reduction. Foreign dull sale, though the quantity offering is not large ; some parcel. of new keep arriving by steamer for sale, and may be bought in the line. Very little business done is malting Barley, but grinding is scarce, end sells at extreme rates. Oats are rather dell—new foreign of good quality worth 215., weighing 3811bs. Russian may be bought somewhat under this rate. We have a fair demand for Beans, though at a decline upon last week's rates; new foreign are worth 425. to 435., 63114.; Egyptian 37e., the tame weight. Of the latter, • large and 'opener cargo is on the market. Peas are very good to sell at full prices. Ryemenl continues to arrive, and some email cargoes from near port, having come in to be sold, lower prices have been taken; when these are cleared off, we may look for some improvement. We have agtin good arrivals of Linseed, of various qualities, and a fair ex tent of batistes is daily done at fully late rates; several arrivals of Cake, chiefly first quality; they meet a good demand at our quotations; Hull-made are held at high rates. We are without Rapeseed on the market, any arrivals being for crushers' account. Rape Cakes may be bought on easier terms.

I _ LEIGHTON BrZZAHD, Oct. 19.—0 f Wheat there was again a considerable supply, which met with a very dull sale, at 2s. per load decline from last week's rates.

LIVIIRPOOL, Oct. 19.-Although we have some fresh ar rivals since Friday, the supelies of Wheat and other Grain, whither British or foreign, during the entire week, are only moderate; but of Canadian and States Flour, which had been delayed at sea by contrary winds, the import is liberal, 'mounting to 42,794 barrels. Several large auction sales being advertised to take place to-day after market. and for which many dealers kept themselves in reserve, the trade daring the usual hours of business this morning exhibited less animation than might have been expected from the large number of buyers in attendance. Upon a moderate demand, prime Wheats, which are scarce, nearly supported the reduced rates of Friday, whilst middling and inferior qualities, of which the stock here chiefly consists, receded i fully 6d. per 701 b. from the currency of Tuesday last, the remark applying principally to foreign. American Flour, although in feir request, declined further spaiii to-day, placing our quotations from Is. to 2s. per barrel under those of this day se'nnight ; and Irish Flour was nominally Is. to 2s. per sack lower. Malting, as well as grinding Barley, met a tolerable inquiry on the terms last noted ; and Malt, being more saleable, maintained late prices. Beans and Peas, though nut freely disposed of, remained steady in value. Oats, moving slowly to consumers, were 3d. per 451 b.; and Oatmeal, 2e. per lead cheaper than on this day se'nnight. Indian Corn still commanded a lively and 'iterative sale at a slight abatement in value ; and Corn Meal enatinued to be taken freely at the decline above stated. The copious rains which have fallen latterly in Ireland, af fording sufficient water power to enable the millers to resume *eV op r ations in grinding, they are reported to be purchasing rather freely from the growers, accounting partly for the limited supplies of Wheat we are receiving thence. During the past week the weather here has continued exceedingly fine for autumn tillage, which i. going on most favour ably, to the exclusion of any large deliveries of new grain from sour neighbouring farmers fur the present.

WATERTNODVAT, TEEITON, AND NETTLESTEAD.—The picking is generally finished, and it seems that the crop in quantity is about the same as last year, but we think the quality sup( rior.--Cagrzitnunv.—The bopping season his now closed in this district, and the whole produce poc keted or bagged, and from the comparative quantities ob tained by the various planters in this district, there is little dnukt entertained but that the duty of East Kent will exceed that of last year, unless the parishes of the Weald, which arc included in this circuit, fall very short of their es timated quantities. Canterbury circuit is backed at 46,0001. pretty confidently, and the whole duty finds sopporten at 200,0001. The hop trade remains very dull, indeed it may be said there is at present no sale going on to enable an esti mate of ruling prices. We have heard of 41. 10s. being realised for some growths in this neighbourhood, the quality of which is good, both in colour and condition.—South Eastern Gazette. MAIDSTONI. The Hop-picking, with the exception, we believe, of the Tunbridge district, is Row one, and a ewe splendid growth in the Rotheatea co/Intim was norm known, 'needing last year's both in quality and quantity. We beertily •ish the price bore any reievanee to use eacrl lrnre of the sample, but this the planters can regul►te if they wlll,—the plantation is evidently tno large for the consacep tian. Grubbing, in good earnest, is the only remedy tor another year. As for the present, we can only vote the answer given by an eminent factor to the question put to him the other day, " What is to be done ?" " All who can possibly hold, should do so—those who cannot, should sell half, keep half, and grub half." Duty, 190,0001. • - We have much pleasure in announcing that the result of the application to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for a postponement of the payment of the November hop duty, hes born successful. The deputation, consisting of Sir E. Filmier, Bart., M.P., Sir E. Hering, Bart., Sir Brook Brydges, Bart., Mr. Hodges, M.l'., Idr. Plumptre, M.P., Mr. Norton Knatchbull, Mr. Elvy, Mr. J. Neame, and Mr. C. Neame, waited on the Chancellor on Thursday, who, after hearing the object of their visit, promised his attentive consideration of the subject. We are informed—though we have no official authority for the announcement, that the minister has consented to a postponement of the November duty for one month—a concession which It is considered will be of very great value to the planters generally.—Maids one Journal. MANUFACTURES.—HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 19. Our Pieee-hall of to-day has been very thinly attended, and the few merchants who have given us a look have pur chased very little. The clothiers, too, are very careful with whom they do business, thinking it better to hold stock, than risk their goods. Prices for all sorts of goods arc very low, but arm. A few of the warehouses are doing pretty well In Sataras, Vienna', and other good fancy woollens. WOOL.—HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 19.—00 r Wool market remains in a state of inactivity, and the very few lots which meet with buyers are sold without profits. It seem as if price was not the ruling medium of the market. The fact is, Wool is not wanted at any price.

WI lee terilloaoser—/AmlA‘33 Nis. pool II ; INA S. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20. THERE are so many people in this world who are wedded to what they call " their paper," end who think, speak. and in some cases even act, iialy as "their paper" may advise or dictate, that . we 'appose we shall be startling the neryca of a large propsetion of the readers of " the full-priced," if we renters to hint that the Times is occasionally , a meet dAngeraus public instructor. Did it not prove itself so on the corn oneltioe? For months and years after the League bad ~:omn n minced its agitation, the Times, treating Oat fen midable organisation with contemptuous indilf fereoce, wrote upon that all-important subject as if it were an impracticable theory, only har boured in the miads of a few of those whom it is s oeu stom,vAlto style "over-speculating manufacturers." From time to time " these people " (u it styled them) were denounced as actuated solely by motives of personal aggrandisement. From time to time the Times told those who depended upon its information, and consulted it as an oracle, that the agitation was merely a " Manchester movement," originating in Imanufacturing distress, and certain to subside when employment increased. So the Times wrote week after week, we repeat, for years. It was in 1837 that this " movement" commenced; it was only in 1844 that the Times found out that the " movement" was " a fact." The Times at that period (whatever it may be now) was the paper most consulted in the City. Whilst the rest of -Eng land was in a blaze—whilst open air meetings were being held in every county—whilst every district of every town was sending up its petitions—whilst thousands ware crowding to listen to the lecturers and thousands more were eagerly reading the hun dred and one editions of the anti-corn-law tracts—the i City of London alone was unmoved ! The Times had not yet discovered that the agitation was " a fact !" So much for the public instruction of the " well. informed" journal on the greatest question of the day. Has it profited by the lesson "the great fact" might have brought home to it ? Do its editors see more clearly through their political spectacles than before they wiped them to discover that " a fact" ex isted ? Are they less prone to describe that as a . local agitation " which is in reality a great national movement ? Are they more cautious in attributing to selfish motives that legitimate effort which springs from pure patriotic principles and anxiety for the elucidation of • truth ? Are they milder in their judgment, or less severe in their denunciations of others, because themselves obliged to denounce that which they doubtless contributed to foster and en- Wireage ? Not in the last! Still ill-informed as to facts— still blind to the progress of powerful opinions, the Times denounces the agitators for currency reform just as it denounced the agitation for corn-law repeal. Substitute " Birmingham" for "Manchester," "Iron" ' for " cotton." " currency" for " corn," and you have in the Times of Saturday an article on the great subject to which men's minds are now directed word for word with the articles on the food question, which were to be found in its columns in 1840 and 1811. " Iron forgers" are denounced now, as " cotton spinners " were denounced then. Tbey are told that they are " interested" in reducing all the fixed payments of the country, in order that they may " profit by each unblushing knavery." Mr. SPOON ER and Mr. Al t; STZ are told, as Mr. COBDEN and the league were told, that they are " interested in robbing the government, the national defences, the civil establishment, the pen , sioner, the landholder, the mortgagee, the aged rela tive, the orphan, and the widow, in order that they may squander the spoil in earthworks and rails—a course of conduct entirely in conformity with their own interest, while it is utterly unaccountable by any other rule." In fact, according to the Tim, e, Bir mingham is agitating for a repeal of the currency with a view to keep up the railway mania, in order that they, the Birmingham people, may profit by the sale of iron rails Now, whether right or wrong, the Birmingham agitation on the currency question commenced before the first railway in England was opened. Secondly, there are probably not ten men con nected with the movement in that town who derive profit by the sale of iron mile. The Birmingham agitation on the currency is as old as the passing of the act of 1819, and though it may have diminished or increased in force under differing circumstances, the repeal of the statute has been the one great consummation which the Birming ham people have looked to in every agitation in which they have assisted. With them, the Reform Bill was looked to mainly as the means to an end, sad Mr. T. Arrwoon, as the leader of the great agitation in Birmingham on that question, never con cealed that fact. At the period of the corn-law agitation the people of Birmingham were unusually backward; and it will be found on record, in the Times itself, that whenever public meetings were called in the town to consider the core question, amendments to resolutions were carried affirming the principle that a currency reform was the one great thing needful. The currency question is, and has been for years past, almost the one sole exciting topic of public deliberation in the great manufacturing city. And now, as to the grand motive assigned for the Birmingham movement, viz., the furnishing of rails, it happens that iron rails do not come from Birmingham at aIL Guns and pistols are made there. and light hardware goods and tin ware, and the steel pens with which silly articles are indited, and a thousand other manufactures of iron and other metals, of which any merchant in the town will fur nish a catalogue. But iron rails come from the great works in Staffordshire and elsewhere, and the majo rity of the Birmingham manufacturers have as little to do with them, are pecuniarily as little interested in their sale, as they evidently have to do with the management of the Times, or are interested in its sale. The staffordshire ironmasters, moreover, have never yet been active parties in the Birmingham currency movement, whatever they may be henceforward. Your FOSTERS, BARKERS, THORNEYCROFTS, and others, did take part in the corn-law agitation ; but it would be difficult to find an iron-master who, up to this date, ever made a speech on the currency qutstion at all. And here, although we desire to impute no bad motive to the Times—nothing beyond the indiscretion of writing without information—we must take leave to observe that if it had desired, at the present cri tical moment, to inflict injury upon the iron trade, it could have taken no step better calculated to effect that object than to represent it in the light of a trade fictitiously bolstered up by railway or other speculations. 'fo show the utter groundlessness of the charge thus wantonly made in the most serious manner by the Times, we quote a paragraph from our commercial news of Oct. 14. In a review of the state of the iron trade therein given, it is said : Oa reviewing the continued flourishing condition of the iron trade, it is proper that the fact rhould be properly un derstood, that this is not produced so much by the demand for rails, as for that amount of the commodity which is re quired for the general purposes of railways, and which would suffer no diminution were the railway works gene rally for a season stopped. We mention this for the purpose of correcting an erroneous impression which is afloat, that the price of iron is kept up solely in consequence of the sup ply required for the new railways. Is it not a little strange that the interests of one of our greatest manufactures should be so egregiously mistaken and misrepresented by the erroneous assump tions of our contemporary ? WE are glad to learn that there is at length sone prospect of the national records being placed in safety. The Sixth Report of the Metropolitan Improvement Commissioners contains their sanction of the plans prepared by their surveyor for securing this and other desirable objects. The Spectator observes that it is just two centuries since the idea of erecting a general repository of the public records was first enunciated—" a very fair allowance of time for official deliberation." Not too long, it might be suggested, in a matter on which public opinion has not yet turned its "bull's eye," or bid official apathy " move on." We have no SYMONDS D'Ewes in the Commons House of Vicrom %. The same dis creditable indifference which exposed the most valu able series of historical documents possessed by any nation to the washerwomen's floes in the Chapter- house, at Westminster, or the gunpowder vaults under the White Tower, or the lees sudden, but more destructive, operation of damp in the Carlton-ride, allowed the discontinuance of the publications of the Record Commission. The latter fact furnishes the best explanatory comments on the former. England feels little concern about her national records, having less knowledge of them than any other civilised nation of Europe. For centuries, the rats had a monopoly of these venerable parchment.. It is only in our own times that they have been disturbed from their indigestible meal by antiquaries as omnivorous. We would fain hope that, with the removal of the records to a place of general deposit, will come an arrangement of the enormous collection, which may render it as accessible to students as it has hitherto been to the rod. 'dia. Why should it be less within their reach than the contents of the British Museum? Only we woidd supplicate, in the name of our modern SELDENS and BALBS, that they be spared such a catalogue as Signor PANIZZI is slowly dispensing—a yard per year —to the frequenters of the national library. There is no nation that has such just sround for pride in its archkes, as our own. Alike in the rolls of the courts and of the palace, the inquirer may con template the noble picture of law slowly ac quiring dominance over violence and abso lutism. The footsteps of English liberty are inde libly imprinted on her records. No revolution &N s served to stay that liberty waits progress, or to sev , , r the continuity of the chain which links our M a th ration of to-day with those of Witttur the Norrus.n. This is a boast which England alone can ma k e . l'et England has shown herself behind France or A us t r i a in her appreciation of this proud and peer less l egacy historical treasure. The same rs 'port which announces the approaching end of the diem% ditable mekeshifts to which the want of a general office has driven the keepers of these inestimable papers , proposes also the formation of a new central thorough fare from east to west. 1 .. AV...- street and Holborn are obe relieved of their plethora of passengers. Th e f re ,2aent indispositions of the former will no longer set ve to produce apoplectic stoppage of the circulation in the latter. True, this blessing will have its drawbac.lte Omnibus driven will lose all opportunity for indulging that adventurous spirit which came out so brilliantly in the perilous allies of Clare-market, and be driven to volunteer for the next exploring party that starts in search of a north-west passer. But, with this set off, the new thoroughfare will be a great boon to London, and will give much required facility to traffic. The two topics of a new street and a new Record office are not so remote but that they may suggest analogies. Oar carelessness of national records might be compared with our carelessness of those important elements of national riches and hap piness, the working classes of our great cities. The records will not be turned out of their present quarters until better are found to re ceive them. The poor are routed out along the line of new thoroughfare, and no question is asked when or how they are to find shelter.
