On Friday morning last, amidst an immense assemblage of spectators, Ann Bamford, aged 60 years; Ann Diekons, aged 40 ; William Stevearts aged 42; and Pins. Gray, aged 22, were executed on the New Drop, at the front °Marwick Jail. They were convicted, with six others, before Mr. Baron G ARROW, at the last Assizes, for dealing in, and utter ing forged Bank Notes. Considerable interest had been made to save the life of Gray, the crime for which he was convicted being his first offence: he was a mere youth, and had been entrapped into the commission of the crime : lie had been married little more than twelve month', and his wife is near the pe riod of her accouchement. The untimely death of her husband has reduced her to such a state that'she is not expected to survive—grief has bmken her heart ! The following petition was presented by the unhappy aman a few days since to the PRINCE RuGENT " May it please your Royal Highness—Despairing of another human help, a distracted wife prostrates herself at the feet of T .,ur Royal Highness, and most humbly, but pathetically,.peti• dons for the use of her husband, who now lies in Warwick Jail, , under the awful sentence of death for forgery. The unfortunate woman who presumes to apply at the fountain of mercy and gouctr.ess, though now overwhelmed by present and prospective ,calamity, is the daughter of the late Colonel J. Raw, a man thstirguo.hed for his loyaltyand patriotism, who, fat the defense of his King and Country, raised a Regiment called the Bil=. ham Loyal Fencibles. Oh! gracious Prince ! save his from the infamy of an ignominious death. Oh! save his daugh ter's life, and that of her unborn and innocent child, which bang upon the life of her husband. Great Prince, look with an eye of compassion, upon us, and permit me to state such reasons as may justify your Royal Highness in the dispensation of merry Ito my poor husband. Think, Royal Sir, upon his youth and inexperience, only twentyatwo years of age. Reflect, great Sir, that this is his first offence ; that by the accompanying testimony of his last employer, J. W. Wright, of Birmingham, whibt is his employ, "he conducted himself in a remarkably mbar, industrious, and honest manner." Permit me to state to your Royal Highness, that when brought up for trial, he re. pettedly pleaded guilty, and was with diulty and reluctance persuaded to retract his plea; that others, equally guilty, who ' persisted in their plea, are recommended to mercy, while ray husband, through his ignorance and agitation in the hour of trial, is left on the awful list of those who are to die.—Ob ! gracious Prince ! suffer not my poor husband's lgrtorwiceand inexperience to prove fatal to him. Oh ! grant him his life, and banith us to any part of the world, where we may hide OUT heeds from the shame of general contempt. Oh ! spare his life, gracious Prince! oh su ff er me not to be driven from this last ;tope! So may the petitions of your Royal Highness, in that hour which equally awaits the Prince and the peasant, meat with a blessed .114.WCT from the KING or K.. 12444. Were my husband a mat of cruelty and depravity, I would not dare to pollute the sanctuary el your Royal mind by exciting its sympathies for him ; but , when I reflect on his love and tenderness, and generosity to my self ; when I further recollect, that it was his misguided love to me, and his anxiety to supply me with those comforts to which, in better days, I had been accustomed, which precipitated him ' into the crime for which he is doomed to die, I cannot help in dulging the hope, that your Royal Highness will stretch forth your' benevolent hand and snatch my poor husband front the jaws of death. And your Petitioner will, as in duty bound, fur ever pray, &c. vAancr GRAY." —The other three persons who suffered with Gray, have been for some time in the practice of uttering forged Notes: Ann Bamford had been more than fifteen years a dealer in bad money and forged Notes ; four of her relations were convicted with her, viz. her son, his wife, a nephew, and a niece; they pleaded guilty, and were transported for fourteen years—her husband, with two other relations, were transported a few Sessions ago.

Plorosnn •ENEWAL OF THE ALIEN ACT. Lord HOLLAND wished to put a question to a Noble Eatl opposite. He had heard it. said that it wa.ssthe intention of his Majesty's Government to ).Tani to Parliament the renewal of what is com mon., called the Alien Act. He wished to know if. *is were she case, and whether this country was placed by any sort of treaty or engagement in such a situation, with respect to any Foreign Powers, so as to render it expeaient to assimilate that part emir laws to those of Foreign Powers in such respects ? If it were so, he could not but regard it as one of the most vexatious and tyrannoui conditions that was ever made. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he had no hesita tion in giving an answer to the Noble Lord's ques tion at once, and had no difficulty first in saying, that it is the intention of his Majesty's Government to propose a renewal of the Act, a measure which he thought continued to be of the highest impor tance ; and, secondly, it was proposed upon the view ' which his Majesty's Government took of the best in terests of the country, and not in consequence of any engagement with Foreign Powers whatever. It was deemed necessary solely on their own view of the subject, in which the feeling of its necessity was strong, and he trusted a similar view of the subject would be taken on the part of Parlilment. CDRRENCT---PAPER •ND METALLIC. The Order for summoning their Lordships being read— The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose, in pursuance of his notice, to bring this important and complicated subject under the consideration of their Lordships.— The Noble Earl said, his principal object was to cifn vinee the Ilouse of the imperious necessity 01 toting an inquiry into a complicated and extensive. subject. in which the vital interests of the country I were materially involved. It seemed the intention of Government to propose certain regulations, witk a view to the paper currency, and avowedly with an eventual reference to the resumption of cash pay losents by the Bank ; but, he contended, that unless : . the present Mint Regulations were materially alter ed, it would be found impracticable for the Bank to resume or continue its payments in cash. They were especially called upon to investigate, with reference, were there no other motive, to a pending measure for further continuing the restriction on the Bank ; they should be satisfied as to the operation and effect of such a proposition, before their Lordships afforded it their concurrence. The whole system adopted by Government of latter years, was a departure from the ancient salutary system under which this country had so long prospered, and had attained its unrival led height of opulence and commercial superiority. The pnncipal cause assigned by Ministers for ren dering the farther restriction upon the Bank advis able was, he contended, no adequate reason what ever. Even when the. restriction was originally im posed. though there were foreign loans or advances in a course of payment from this country, such a cause was not assigned. The specie sent out of the country for that purpose was held to make no sen sible difference, as was proved by the testimony of, the Bank Directors who were then examined. And farther it was held, that if loans were negotiated for all the countries in Europe, it would not exhaust this country of its specie. It was not through cash alone such remittances were furnished, but by commodities; also of which latter description every commercial man sent as great a proportion as he possibly could. It was impossible, therefore = he thought, that any foreigai loan now negotiating conld furnish an ade.A quate cause for continuing the Restriction upon the' Bank; neither did it even operate upon that Campo-, ration as a pecuniary cause ; nor were the extents o f I bs . private discounts a cause of prevention ; but the' Ireal cause he considered to be the immense advances made by the Bank to Government. They were not in a progress of diminishing their advances ; and he argued, from a reference to certain Statutes, parti cularly the Act of William and Mary, that it, was illegal to make more advances than what were' founded upon Votes of Credit. To such an amount' had those advances increased, that they were now, he believed, more than double the sum they were when the restriction was first laid on. He then ad.l verted to the recent proposition of calling upon I Country Bankers for Stock security equal to the issue of their small notes. On this he commented in some detail, and seemed to impugn its tendency as militating against that principle upon which all Bank notes were receiv:cl—the general credit, or faith in the stability of the concern; and particularly as de- 1 macting from the credit of the respective firms as to their larger notes, while it went to favour the credit of the Bark of England exclusively. As to the idea of Stock Debentures, he re2rded it so extravagant in itself, as that it could not be seriously countenan ced in any degree. Recurring then to the state of the currency, it was a point, his Lordship contended, which perhaps more than any other called for a Parliamentary investigation. He first dwelt upon the paper branch thereof, and that there were ob.. served now four descriptions of Paper currencies in circulation ; and on referring to the Metallic branch, it was, in its relations to the state sf the exchanges and the current prices of the precious metal., equally The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose, and begged e:e indulgence of the House, while he offered a few ob servations which he felt called fur, in consequence of some points which fell from the Noble Eirl ; and he must be allowed to say, with, all reasonable defe rence for the judgment and information relative to a question upon which the Noble Earl had employed so much labour, he had never heard so mum dog, nsatizing in a discussion before o.le principle LUd down by the Noble Earl, he cordially concurred in, namely, that the best system for the circulation of any country, was a system of paper currency, which paper should be liable to be paid in a metallic ore, if called for. lie agreed also, that the more a paper currency prevailedohe less there would be of a cash eirculation. He could, however, assure the noble Lord (Lauderdale) as was well known to those who best knew him, that he was as anxious as any man could be for the resumption of cash eayme.lts on the part of the Bank of England. And that it was with the greatest repugnance he now recognized the ne cesety of coatinumg the restriction fur some time longer. With respect to what was said as to ete pre ierability of silver to gold as a secadarch Crera Mel. sure of value, he saw • no reason to depart from the opinion which he (Lord Liverpool) formerly ad vanced upon the point, which was decisively, that gold was preferable as a measure of value ; and it was known that it was long so in point of fact before it came to be sanctioned by law ; and, in all transac tions, gold was considered as the standard can ; and it was not till a long interval that it was enacted silver should not be a legal tender beyond 251. He differed most essentially from the Noble Earl upon this point, and he deemed him to be mistaken as to the reasoning deducible from the calculations of Sir Isaac Newton upon the value of that metal. By the I law, also, gold, in bullion, may be exchanged, en demand, fur coin at the Mitt, whereas such a privi lege was not extended to the holders of silver bullion. Cold was certainly more liable to be exported than silver, because a substitute may be found for the for.. mer, and none could be found for the latter. These, together with the advantages always afforded to gold • by the Mipt regulations, were, he thought, conclu sive as to the point. The Noble Earl then adverted to the impertant toy.ic pf the Paper Circulation. OR . this he thought, taring the question generally, it must be allowed that some reet tlativas were neces sary respect to the circulation of paper, and that something in the way of check should be pro;. vided. This principle t . he thought, could not be disputed. As the law now stood, no check what ever existed with respect to the paper circulation, particularly with reference to the issue of small notes. No man, he believed, was very desirous of retaining to the system of a pure metallic currency, to the ex clusion of a paper circulation. lie was decidedly of opinion, that the issues of Country Banks required some regulation. Since the year 1814, out of '7OO Country Banks then existing, no fewer than 200 have disappeared. More than one-third have been swept from the face of the country, and it was• a curious fact, that much of the distress which the country had at one time experienced, was ateibuted to tke extent to which the Country Bank system had been carried. Htte, then, was a great permanent evil, a thousand times mote formidable than the Bank Re striction. The Bank of England had been restrained by the hand of Government from . political conside rations ; and without the interposition of some regu lation, things may fall rut so, as by inducing a run upon the Country Banks, it would not onlrruits those, but possibly cause a most injurious run upon the Bank of England itself. He therefore thought the necessity of some limitation wasindisputible. In the case of Scotland it was very different, there not being, in fact, more than one or two of what could properly be called pirate Country Banks in that part of the island. 'lite Banking Eqablishmenet there, in consequence, remained almost entire. The plan of requiting the deposit of a certain amount cf Stock, in the way of security, was not liable to those objections urged by the Noble Lord. Such a de posit, he hal no doubt, instead of tending to bring down the credit of the higher toentry notes, would, on the contrary, tend to uphold it. • They knew, from the information before the House , the state ok the currency with respect to the small notes, and as suck would require to be stamped, they could know the quantity in circulation from year to year. Such a regulation as he contemplated, would not only he beneficial to the credit of all; but, when thoroughly considered, must be found c,sentially necesury. r o • • % 1 R i t 1 , 1
