TEE PRESEN4O.IITATE OF THE NIONI Y - 'ailtattr. • • TROIA Tilt TIMM. - . • The Bank Directors, who now assemble alaily to deliberate on. the means that may be in their passer for stemming the present difficulties, came yesterday to the resolution of advancing the rate of discount to fire per cent. instead of four, and the new regulation will brim force this day. The following is a copy of the notice for that purpose, issued yesterday at the Discount-office:— " Bank of England, December 13. " Itisocvaw—:Fhat from and after the 13th inst. no blUs or notes will be discounted under Five per Cent. per annum." Facilities for private transfers in Consols continue to be given at the Bank. On Monday, one transfer was made of 150,0001. and the number of transfers effected on that day and yesterday is little short ot 100. Accounts from the Continent of the state of the prin cipal money-markets there, are now looked fur with much anxiety by the merchants, but in no quarter do they find that confidence is shaken in anything l•ke the degree which it has been in England. In Paris, no scarcity of money at all proportionate to that of London exists, and the credit of the leading Paris merc'iants is for the most part unshaken. A letter from Paris ot Saturday, adverting to the crisis here, says—." In this City we arc not in a perfectly healthy state with respect to our circulation, but the malady is only skin deep, and may soon be cured ; but yours is a deep wound, which it will require a long time to heal" In Amster dam, transactions in money have scarcely deviated from the usual course. The current rate bf interest was five per cent. at the Bank of Amsterdam, but on com mercial bills of the first order discounts were easily obtained at the rate of four per cent. Loans on stock paid six per cent. interest. At Hamburgh, the rate of Interest was eight per cent. but the evils arising from a • scarcity of circulating medium are generally corrected I there by their " tree trade" in money, or the absence of all limitation of the rate of interest. In the Foreign Exchanges, an advance was produced yesterday by the scarcity of money. Paris bills, at three months, were taken at 25.60. to 25. 70 ; Amsterdam at 12.8. to 12.9; and Hamburgh at 37.9. to 37. 10. PROM THE NEW TIMES. It may be remembered that our Paris Correspondent, some months ago, touched upon the general question of the scarcity or abundance of the precious metals, and offered some ingenious arguments in favour of a law authorising the payment of large sums in ingots of standard gold. The recent fall in the French funds bats afforded him 'occasion to revert to the same sub- Jett, and tho Ugh we confess that we look upon the advantage of such a plan as rather theoretical than practical, yet we should not do justice to so acute a reasoner, if we did not state his sentiments in his own words. "Itis of the first importance," says he, " that we should give every passible facility to exchanges, whether in our domestic or in our foreign transactions. Were there a law authorizing the payment of large sums in ingots of standard gold, we should not be exposed to those fluctuations in prices which result from an excess of paper, and tardy and timid efforts to limit it. The recent depressionja Foreign Exchattges i followed by a fall of Ten per Cent. in Stocks, proves, that instead of a repeal of Mr. Peel's Bill, we require that the provisions of the law should have the great. est possible effect, .and that there is an indispensa ble necessity for that universal standard of value, which the precious metals afford, to which paper money, in all its Proteus-like shapes, may be promptly referred. We regret that the Bank must, as the law now stands, take more time to exchange their inlets into twenty shilling pieces for payment of their notes than would be required to scrape together the gold of half the money markets in Europe ; and if the Newspapers have expressed doubts at to its continued ability to pay in sovereigns, they should be pat tly excused, from the consideration that such a dila tory system may at some moment or other compromise the credit of the Bank in spite of its vast resources. Simplify the machinery of exchanges, and the public will gain by it. As for the credit of the Bank it should be like the chastity of Casar's wife." PROM THt MORNING CHRONICLL , It ought to be impressed on all who possess any influence at the present moment, that a blind selfishness will soon bring its own punishment along with it ; that if all persons rush to the Banks to draw their balances, which the Banks must pay instantly, while they cannot compel their debtors to pay the balances due to them, the consequence must be very serious indeed. We can hardly conceive any amount of capital equal to this unequal conflict. Paying alway s,w bile selfish ness,alarm, or inability induce the debtors to withhold payment, millions must in time be exhausted. We put it seriously to our countrymen,—what will be the result of this irrational panic ? If the great este blishments of the country lea themselves at a stand, and in consequence of the cessation of credit and con fidence, each individual shrinks within himself, thou sands and thousanis will be thrown out of employment in this Metropolis, as well as elsewhere. have those selfish people, who needlessly augment the embarrass. ment, reflected on what would be the state of things in this metropolis, if any great proportion of the population were out of employment ? Of what use would all their prudent precautions be, if a general calamity should deprive property of protection ? It is gratifying to observe, that the Directors of the Bank of England, ami•lst the general ferment, do all that they can, consistently with their duty, to relieve the pressure on the money-market. On Monday, the amount of Country Bills which went in for discount exceeied all former precedent, and we have the best authority for stating, that no less than 1,200,0001. was discounted. The applications of the. same sort yesterday were equally numerous ; and it was not a little singul a r, to observe many of the heads of firms themselves in ati tendance to know their fate. Such a scene, it was said; was never before witnessed, except on the day for to. eeiving answers on Town Bills. The hour far admitting the applicants was protracted till after two o'clock, which added to the painful suspense. Many were, of course, disappointed; but still. as much was done as the public had a right fairly to expect. •i.try un Sir Peter Rile, and all his partners, were at the banking house the whole of. Monday and yesterday Sir Peter speaks confidently; that alter the concerns toi the house are wound qp, his own property will oot be less than 200,0001. The profits of the Banking.honse, for the last seven years, averaged upwards of 40,0001. the yeare' • • ' ' • At Wentworth and-Citalesarstsi the clerks, assisted by one of the first coyaesoctstants (M.y,Duncan), have been engaged, night , apd day, si t nce MMday arranglng the accout : of the fi rm ; and ;tallies as much •lesstste to sthte, tf.at - ileffippeat fivritlialge.

La G.C.I-1. at Ihadax. hi consequence of private information received at flatton.garden Office, of a person being guilty of coin ing at the house of a man named James Smith, in hwan.aller, Coleman-street, the Magistrates, at the leviest of Mr. Powell, Solicitor to the Mint, dispatched tubr active officers thither. The officers, without making any inquiry, went up stairs to the room occu pied by Smith, the door of which was fastened ; but Litobtick, through the key-hole, saw him at work, and %about speaking he instantly b urst open the door, and theofficers rushing into the room, seized Smith at the sarlting.pot, with some base metal in one hand, and the them the other; before him on a table, or bench, lay 6 1. e hundred and three counterfeit sixpences, not yet tuld. It is almost impossible to describe the wretched iteic which presented itself. In one corner of this mi serable hovel, on a truckle.bed, lay the wife, of Smith, ''l•us though only newly delivered of a sickly looking iLtinit, then at her breast, had evidently been employed hi finishing her husband's work. six of the new coins teing found at, the bed-side in an improved state, which tLe had thrown down in her panic at the sudden and itexpected entrance ut the police.

With the quantity of metal he had, he might possibly have coined about one thousand of those spurious six- Peaces, *hid) very likely would have been sold for a. 'Noy pence. The fabricator is seldom allowed much 111 ute than the intrinsic value, of the bit of . pale metal ethich forms the coin. At the instant that Smith was seized, he crushed the din in his band, and partly &- buoyed that ev idencr of bit guilt; the die being composed `” Platister 01 Pat is, it , easily yielded to the pressure; but the officers secured the fragments, which being ? . .tled together, enitlales _the.

Without any real foundation in fact, rumours of great distress among the monied interests are spread in vari ous parts of the counts y, and a run instantly begins upon the Banks of the place, whereverit 'May be, which the report reaches, and one or more stoppages mane.

We trust that i few days will see this panic at an end. In fact, it 'behoves the monied interests of London to combine , among themselves to check the evil; for, if opposed byl steadiness, and met with promptitude, it will sink into' nothing ; but if suffered to range as it has done for the last few days, with impunity, no man will be far a ma mart safe from its ravage.. FROM TIER MORNING lIRRALD. There has been a good deal said and written of late respecting the Bank—its illiberality, Ice. We think it unfair to charge the Bank in such manner. If the Bank-Wore any fault, it is its too great readiness in up holding houses, after it has been ascertained that such houses have been too much engaged in bill accommo dation. Messrs. Williams and Co. have been remark able for the liberality of their discounts since the com mencement of the distress ; which liberality is said to be the .chief cause of their own embarrassment. Their stoppage will affect London more than it will the coun try, as they had a great , many respectable town as counts, while they were agents for only eleven &twelve country banks. . Two or three of them are, however, in very important districts of the country. The gene ral opinion is, that they will be ultimately able to fulfil all their engagements. It must be ()violas that in such a state of things the pressure bears hard, pon all quar ters of the money market, and advantage was, as usual, taken to magni y every flying rumour, to answer stock. jobbing purposes. /ROM via PUBLIC LEDORR. The whole question of the present embarrassment lies in a nut-shell—the difficulty of discounting the best paper ; and, consequently, the remedy may be stated in three words—" increase the facilities." In the mean time, the commercial world itself ought to make efforts to resist an alarm, which, for the most part, is artifi cial ; and we are only surprised, that the first Houses, seeing theruin that has overtaken some, whose respect ability was never before liable to the breath of snips cioa, have not come forward with .some measure, or declaration, to stem a torrent, which has all eady sapped the foundations of commercial credit. The evil has been heightened, as usual, by exaggeration ; but, to the honour of the Public Press generally. it must be said, that it stands acquitted of this charge. In the mean time, it is our firm hope chat the alariii hasiesiclied its utmost height, and that effectual theastsies are now in agitation to pit a stop to it wholly, and as promptly as possible. It is honourable to the Mercantile character, that these events,however strongly a great portion of the Public. Press may attribute the. present calamitous state of the "tirculating medium to overtrading; have not been produced by Commercial failures, far, with one exCepiion, -none of any consequence has occurred.:.: The true origin of the evil is alone to be found in, thelimitation which the jaw places to the number of partners in _English Banks.
