Exchequer Bills (2d.) 1 dis. par, 2 dis. par Consols for Acct. 68 The alarm which seized the Stock Exchange•on Saturday still continues to operate with disastrous effect. The House was crowded this forenoon at an early hour. As soon as business commenced, there was a great rush, and all appeared to be sellers. The first price named for•Consols was 67i ; but they soon after fell to 671 —making a total fall of 41 per cent. since Monday last. Purchasers, even at these prices, were obtained with difficulty, the general opi nion of the monied interest being that a-still greater fall must be the consequence of the embarrassing situation in which the financial concerns of the coun try have got involved. At twelve o'clock Consols had recovered a little, and were done at 67; but the market, at that price, was gloomy in the extreme. For Bank Stock no price could at first be named, but it was afterwards done at '220. Exchequer Bills were even in a worse situation, having become quite a drug. A report is current on 'Change, that, in consequence of this depreciation, the Minister in tends making a fresh issue of Exchequer Bills at 31d. The question of the Resumption of Cash Payments by the Bank is now the general (we may almost say, the exclusive) topic of conversation, among commer cial and monied men ; and, indeed, it is hardly pos sible to conceive of any subject possessing greater interest, or on the right settling of which so much depends. Our Public Credit, our Commerce, our Manufactures, our Agriculture—our general pros perity, in every view, depends on it. The ignorance of all the sound bases of political economy displayed in the crude views and lucubraH tions of numbers, who would pass for oracles on the present occasion, is such as would excite only derision were we not threatened with absolute ruin by any rash step to which our present difficulties may give rise. Some pretenders to knowledge in these pro found speculations are absolutely so void of all sound understanding as to confound in one mass of confu sion every idea relating to intrinsic and extrinsic valve —words on which they ring the changes till they become absolutely unintelligible even to themselves. We can form no notion whatever of intrinsic value : it is an abstract term inapplicable to science or the purposes of life. It has not even an existence, as ap plied to the question to be settled. We know the value of commodities not by their intrinsic qualities, but by their comparative values when exchanged one against another. Then one pound weight of any article (t) is exchanged against any other article (B) we readily acquire a correct idea of the relative value of the two, by the greater or less quantity than a pound of B. which may be obtained for the one pound of A. Here quantity (either by weight or measure) is shewntobe one of theslenrents necessary to the adjust ment of exchanges or barter. But quantity incindes alsotik idea of some absolute material or commo dity. We may talk of a posnul ofbread or a pound of silver, but we cannot speak about a pound of " No thing"—a pound weight of a nonentity. As we cannot speak of a pound weight of a non entity, so neither can we speak of a pound weight, as a pound weight, unless we assign to it some absolute and invariable power of gravitation. That is, our pound weight must at every time be equal to the same quantity of any given commodity put into the opposite scale—because our pound is employed merely to measure or determine quantities. That is, we cannot have au ideal paid weight ; a pound that shall one day serve to balance sixteen quantities of something else which we shall at present call ounces, and on another day serve to balance nineteen of the same ounces. Our pound weight is employed as the inva riable standard, and cannot, by any hocus pocus, or jingle of words, be made to grow heavier or lighter: and in like manner, a yard remains invariable as a measure of length—it will not, to suit the specula tions of any stupid theorist, expand or contract its length. But the increased intercourse of civilization has rendered it impossible to carry on exchanges by bar er. Mutual convenience having established weights and measures, the same demand of convenience long since rendered it indispensable that some single com modity should be fixed on, as one by which the re ative value of all others should be settled in sales old purchases. This commodity was silver—and in his country the quantity fixed cn as eur unite of this :onsmedity was one pound—one pound ncight of ,iirer. The division of this into pieces celled money followed as a matter of necessity, for the plvment of , . .rictionol parts of the pound weight. By the adoption of thit, invariable stantiard of - Wive value, the tranutticr: r,f 1;z:1 were greatly facilitated. If C. had but stood in need of leather and c/ longer laid under the nece;sity tanner D, and the weaver E. Ile Vert his corn into silver, w'tli which procure any quantity of the su:- cloth of D. and E. This invariable standard being once was made on credit, an obligatio n i taken from the buyer to pay on a cent seller, a certain number of pounds wei and hence the origin of Bills of E.-0 would the seller have stared in these if, when the day of payment • :7•711, told him that the pound promised to mere ideal quantity. That he must rim a pound weight now to be as henry a when he sold his commodity ? The pound, which was originally a p of silver, came, b various cite= lessened in weight. To trace the wh the change would exceed our limits the way in which it was effected, ma few words. When silver became t' value, its fineness became one of th( ments in the circulation. Rogues beg, with the fine silver: and then, when pined he had received 12 ounces of si' fact, received only 11, the other ounc Hence the necessity of a fixed stand; and hence also the nrcs_ity of a public the fineness.—Hence minted money. Of cour.e this was committed to Supreme Magistrate, whose business that the requisite fineness was given ti the requisite weight to the different p" the pound weight was coined. Out stance, from the vice and dishonest Kings, came the first departure frcm weight ?f :doer They themselves, to at the expense of their subjects, debase creasing the quantity of copper, but the number and weight of the pieces I pound. It was still a pound, but no If silver—one half of the weight being From time to time it became necess your to reform the evil. But one 11, for example)—one half of the whole cnlating medium having been swin pockets of the people, in perhaps a years, and absolutely spent by those the theft, it became impossible for the make up the deficiency. They ippl medy they could. The pound 'stied being half copper, they issued for• eaci coin called in, sir ounces of the new the old name, and calling these six ou so that when a man bought oa cre , written promise to pay one pound, his reference to the money-pound, no% ounces :—not an ideal pound, but a real ounces of standard silver. From what we have stated, our Rea dily perceiie that by repetitions of ti basement, and repetitions of the proo restoring a circulation of Standard Si tity of real silver in the pound, would, time, come .to bear but a small proport pound-weight of silver. But still a silver continued to be, rot the less, Measure of the relative value cf all other ties ; though in process of time the value twenty shillings, came by law to sisty•two shillings, and latterly into si. of these being still called a pound, thou to less than one-third of the original wr" But now comes an absurdity hardly possible to have been introduced. Ou. originated in, and always had reference the relative value of gold, as of every day, was measured by it. But the qu; obtainable was found insufficient to purposes of commerce, and some oth( necessary. Gold was adopted : and cessary that its fineness should be brought under mint regulations. So tional, a stamp of some kind was ii But here came.the folly: instead of stamp merely as a mark of fineness, tempted to perform an impossibility— law, the relative value of the gold coi with silver. That is, for example, that of gold, say a g,uinea, of a fixed weigh be worth either more or less than 2 ' i parts of a pound weight of silver : (an, another piece, called a sovereign, sl worth more or less than 20 of such pa The result of such a system of al acted upon, has been what any but fo, foreseen.
