Banks, appears to be an important .as well as a tempting bonus to the were it not founded on a principle injustice and oppression, confined body of the commercial interest. The operation of the plan appears to be that of per manently taking out of circulation, and consequently out of the market, about 24 millions of ExCheqese, Bills, or 48 millions of Stock ; or, in other words, be lent to , the Minister by the Country Bankers. most certainly, for many reasons, is no bad financial, measure at this moment, if it could be realised, pse., ticularly as it now appears, after the disasters of this last 20 years, those Country Bankers, who have proms their solidity by having weathered the storm, are, fie public security, to be excluded by this Bill from en joying any part of that confidence which every other man in the kingdom, of fair character, is at least en titled to claim. It is proposed, that on all Notes un- 1 der 51. the amount of their issue shall be deposited with Government, at interest of S per cent.; but-not for Notes above 51. unless they prefer to have the ".Security Stamp" of Government on them.; but it requires no discernment to discover if the public are to have the addition of Government security on all Notes under 51. that no others will be taken without I it, and consequently, supposing the circulation of Notes above Si. be as great as those under that sum, by stamping them also, 48 millions: of Exchequer Bills, or 96 millions of Stock would be taken out of the market. To-elucidate the above calculation, let us reckon six hundred Country Banks in England and Ireland, which issue Notes, the circulation of Notes under Si. may be reckoned with some at one hundred thousand pounds ; some above that sum, and others so low as 20 or' 30,000 L—let us take a me dium of 40,0001. each ; should this calculation be , over-rated, it does not alter the principle. By reckoning 600 Banks, it produces 21,000,000, Exchequer Bills, or 48,000,000 of Stock; or 48 mil hots of Exchequer and 96 millions of Stock, if they continue the issue of Notes at-mad above 5L Let us now see how the profit stands with the Country Ban ker of 40,0001. circulation. This sum he does no more or less than lend to Government, by depositing their Exchequer Bills for the liberty of deriving the profit of interest, which the public confidence is pleased to grant from the circulation of these Notes. Had the Minister at once declared that the exclusive privileges which the Bank of England already possess, are not adequate to the benefits which Government derive from that body, and cannot be continued without is more exteasive monopoly, then'he may fairly say, you Bankers o: the. colon' y shall no longer issue Now, unless you advance to Government 20 to 30,000,0064 at 3 per cent. interest ; otherwise the Bank of Eng, land shall exclusively have the circulation of the Em-' pire. I beg, however, to state, that although lam not informed of the extent of accommodation which Government derive from the Bank of England, I shall endeavour to prove that the Country Bankers contri oute,, by the issue of their Notes , no small ratio to' that of the Bank of Englani, whatever it may be. I admit, with all men of observation, that the enormous forced circulation of some Country Banks is an evil, which ought, if possible, to be checked ; but I do not perceive why, if we hang a highwayman we must also hang every man who travels the road where the crime is committed. To pursue the subject, we will now see how the ac count will stand with the Bankers who are to lock up, at lend this 24.,000,000 of money. Let us see how the profit will appear or. a note of 1!. and then decide if such a measure can mean any thing less than a pro hibition. Suppose this one pound note will last in cir culation for two years, the profit, at the price of their deposited E' chequer Bills, namely 3 per cent. is something about Is. 2d.; now you may be surprisei to find that of this profit about one half will go to Government, 4to the Bank of England, and to the Country Brinker; with this giffvrence only, th it the two sleeping partners take their division of 4, subject to no risqr.e or deductions, while the acting partner take.~ the chance of bad debts, forgery, avid all expenses! To prove this statement, first with respect to Go vernment—a stamp of sd. is paid on every one pond note, which is calculated to last two years ; we there fore take the profit for two years—now I believe the fact is, that if the greater part of these notes were to remain in circulation even 1 S months, they would be reduced to their original, re-r. TniF being the fact, the stamp in two years will .`ms cost something above 6d. it is also proposed to add 4 per cent. per -annum to Gae-„Tr.ment for permission to deposit these Exchequer Bills!! and Is. pec cent, on redeeming them. To this add postages, duties on clerks, taces,&c. Paid to Government, as also a license, which like hawkers and pedlars, every Country Banker must take, and for which he pays annually 3 01 . these will make together at least another Id. namely Id. on every note of It. With respect.to the 4 share of pro fit which goes to the Bank of England—every one knows these promissory notes are payable on demand .—and no Banker who does not mean to stop pay ment, would remain daily liable to be called on for the amount of his notes in circulation, without having always locked up, unemployed, a certain proportion of their amount to meet sudden alarms. It would be a low calculation in saying a pru dent Banker, who is not at a very short distance from London, would at least reserve 4 the amount in Bank paper, for this exclusive purpose, as guineas now-a days are out of the question ; we will however go to I the fearful limit of 4th, namely, 50001. which for two years, at 5 per cent. is 5001. sunk lot the Banker, nad gained by the -Bank of England. The division of profit will then run thus : Profit on 40,000 E circulated for two years, at the inte- • rest received on Exchequer Bilk, a per cent. - it'll,4oo Deduct, expenses of circulation, paper, salary of clerks, rent, die. say only id. is 186 Which is thus divided, 5e11,234 To Government for stamps and duties oc 40,8 M notes, a 7d. as explained 1,166 To the Bank of England, locked up to meet cumin rendes, 50001. for two years - - - 600 Prat of two years, to be divided acme the Partners of a Country Bank, whose respectability and Ml* mums enable k to circulate 40,0001. 568 Let us now suppose, what occurs in numerousia stances, that two or three residents in a small country district retired from active life, having obtained an TES. ,wedoabted lickpendent property, are sequence of the great difficulty of a rent respeet!ngCountrTastit, of England Notes, and the r rant financial measure, taking them, are solicited by their the Bank of En land, form a Bank, and issne their Notes. 1 eiple of unpraedented a Bank of this description to have in fined to one particular lation* Notes to the amount of 20,001 _•_ _e ..1-1 . - A... a.. afteuiltal nrnfit - ~. • : .1.

Exchequer Bills, for the wh : support tiefnaolves by their daily labour. liberty of deriving one-quarter of the profit from the. above circulation From this statement no farther proof is required to conclude, that that no Country Beaker will continue a laborious department of his business, whereby his shop is daily frequented by the lower orders of people, for a profit which to one cif ; his clerks would be deemed inadequate for his sae . lary. The Minister is therefore deceived in an" financial expectation under this Bill, of 24,000,00 Mi at three per cent. from the Country Bankers ; but he will not be deceived in finding a deficit in the Re venue of 0,000,000 sterling, now consumed, an nually, in stamps, by Country Bankers, on Bilks under five pounds. Let us not, therefore, have any clauses or conditions in the Bill, enabling Country, Bankers to . issue these •One Pound Exchequer Bills, &c. which we all see is impracticable, but at once come to the point--prohibit the Country circulation, and grant a monopoly to the Bank of England. But I trust the public Revenue is not hereby to suffer, and that government willinake it a condition distinct from every other bargain, that the Bank of England, for this exclusive privilege, shall pay two millions a year, which is less than government now receive on stamps , from Country ifanis, for Notes under 51. ; and as the Bark wi:l hereby be in possession of all the profit of the kingdom, from this department of business, they shall also be bound to establish in every country town, and large district, in the kingdom, a confidential agent, for the purpne of supplying the public with the mdispensible circulating medium of small notes, as also to inform, both rich and poor, if a Note is forged or not, which at present nobody out of Lon don has the means of deciding. On this plan I would readily become one of their agents, but not for a sa lary of 941. 13s. 4d. per s annum. A. 14 OLD COM2II3Ii EANKILR. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF ICINGS B2NCII.
