Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only •t• regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE 01 THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON PROMISSORY NoTES IN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND. Laneladarifonn Me STAR ?yederday.] Your Committee trust that they have not improperly outstepped,the limits of their duty, in sulmitting to the House this brief review of the laws by which the busi ness of Banking in Scotland is regulated, and of the mode in which it is at present conducted; k is a subject not adverted to in the Reports of previous Committ ees , and it appe a red therefore to your Committee, that it might be conveiient to prefix a general account of the Banking Establishments and Currency of Scotland to their observations on that important question, which was the more immediate object of the reference made to your Committee. They consider that question in substance to be. whe ther Scotland shall be permitted to retain the privilege which she has hitherto had, of maintaining a paper cir culation for sums between twenty shillings and five pounds; or whether she shall be required at some pe riod, to be now ascertained by law, to provide, in the same manner in which England has been called upon to provide, a metallic.currency ? Although the promissory notes issued in Scotland are convertible into gold at the will of the holder, yet it appears to your Committee to be proved by experience that the permission to issue notes of an amount sof& ciectly low to perform the office of coin will practically exclude that coin from circulation, notwithstanding that such notes may be payable at the will of the holder: and it must be assumed, that under the operation of the law now applicable to the two countries respectively, England will, after the year 1829, have a metallic culatioa fur the payment of all sums below five pounds, and Scotland a circulation of paper alone, for all pay. intents of not less than 20s. Whether this state of things can be allowed to exist, 'eoffsisfentiy,with equal lattice to the inhabitants of the fr • pcitnontrins-,whether the stability o f t h e present sys- ••• ,rfeeeF paper cxrrency in Scotland can be ensured, if coin•be not in circulation as its basis—whether that sys tem-cin co-exist with a metallic currency in England, without deranging the currency of this country, are ,the important considerations which must be maturely welhed b.lote a final decision can be satisfactorily pronounced. The presumption, on gen-ral principles, appears to ,your Committee to be in favour of an extension to other parts of the United Kingdom of the rule which it has been determined to apply to England. Provision would thus be made for equally apportioning among all parts of the Empire that charge which is inseparable in the first instance from the substitution of a metallic in the room of a paper currency. The wider the field over which a metallic circulation is spread, the greater will be the security against its disturbance from the opera. tio.; of internal or external cause:, and the lighter on any particular part will be the pressure incidental to a sudden contraction of currency. The business of bank ing, and probably of all other commercial transactions connected with it, would be conducted on a more equal footing, in respect to profit, under a system of currency common to all parts of the Empire, than under one which should confine to particular portions of it the ,privilege of issuing a certain description of paper. In proportion as the offence of coining shall be found to be more difficult of execution, and to be less frequently committed than the offence of forgery, in that degree, upon moral considerations, will a metallic circulation be preferable to one of paper ? These appear to your Committee to be the principal reason in favour of extending to Scotland a system of currency which the Lsgislature has resolved to re-es tablish in England ; reasons which, seem decisive in favour of such an extension, unless they can be coun tervailed by the proof of some peculiar circumstances in the condition of Scotland; justifying a special excep tion in her behalf, and by a strong presumption that such an exception can he admitted without prejudice to the interests of other parts of the empire. The main object of the witnesses from Scotland, who were examined before your Committee, has been to prove the claim of Scotland to this exception. Their opinion, with very slight shades of difference, is deci ' dedly adverse to any change in the laws which have so long regulated the issue of promissory notes in that country. estimating, however, the weight due to their opinions as authority, it ought to be borne in mind that a great pat tof the witnesses from Scotland were Gentlemen immediately connected with some of the Winks in that country, subject therefore to the pre. pos essions which naturally spring from a long con• nexion with existing establishments, and from a warm interest in the continuance of their prosperity. It is nut improbable that, had the time permitted it, your Committee would have extended still further their inquiries; and they deem it on that account the more incumbent upon them to state the general nature of the testimony upon which they have cothe to their present conclusions. The. witnesses examined by your Committee, with re ference to the state of the circulation in Scothind, were seven Gentlemen standing in various relations to some of the Banks in Scotland : Mr. Kirkman Finlay, a merchant at Glasgow. Mr. Gibson Craig, a writer io the signet In Edinburgh. •~.it~ Mr. Hadden, a manuf ac t urer i n Ab er d een. vasmossol . Lieut. Colonel Campbell, factor to.the Duke of Argyle. Mr. Gladstone, a Member of the House, Mr. Moss, a banker of Liverpool; and Mr. Birkbeck, a banker in the West Riding of Yorkshire, were examine f as to the manner of conducting the business of banking and commercial transactions con nected with it, in Lancashire. Mr. Gladstone was also enabled to give evidence upon some points relating to the circulation and commerce of Scotland. Three of the Directors of the Bank of England gave their evidence, chiefly as to the bearing which a paper circulation in Scotland might have upon the interests of the Bank of England, after the re establishment of a metallic currency iu this country. The grounds relied upon by the witnesses from Scot land to prove that it is neither necessary nor expedient to alter the laws which permit the issue of small notes in that country, appear to be Ole following : That these laws, so far as they relate to notes be tween the sum of 20s. and 51. payable on demand, have remained unaltered since the first institution of balking in Scotland. Tuat, coincident with the present system of currency, if not immediately owing to its effects, there has been n . great and progressive increase in the manufacture , , the agriculture, the commerce, the population, and the ge neral wealth, of the country. That during the civil commotions of the last century, in the rebellions of 1715 and 1745, the confidence in paper securities in Scotland was not shaken ; and that the Scotch Banks maintained their stability, and were not called upon for any extraordinary issue of gold in exchange for their notes, during the shocks to which mercantile credit was exposed in this country in the years 1793, 1797, and more recently in 1825. That it cannot be assumed, therefore, that a circulation of specie is necessary in Scotland for the purpose of guard ing against the effect of sudden pan'e. That while Scotland had a Paper Currency for the discharge of all sums above 20s. England had at least, for twenty years previously to the Bank Restriction, a ,currency consisting of the precious metals, to the ex clusion by law of notes below five pounds. That these different systems co-existed, and that no proof can be adduced that the Paper Circulation of Scotladd dis placed or interfered, in any material degree, with the metallic currency of England. • That from the da.e of the first .establishment of a Bank in Scotland to the present time, the instances of the actual failure of a Scotch Bank have been extremely rare, and that there hive been only two instances in which the creditors did not ultimately receive the whol* amount of the principal and interest of their debt. Listly, that the indkement of the Scotch Banks to continue their Branch Banks in Many remote parts of the country in which they now eiitt, would be destroy ed ; and that the whole system of deposits and cash credits would be most materially affected, if the Banks were compelled to forego the profit now derived from the issue of notes below five pounds. For the opinions in detail of the witnesses from Scot land, on these and other points "connected with, the small note circulation in that country, your Committee must refer to the evidence annexed to this Report. So far as the interests of the Bank of England are con cerned, it will be seen that the Directors of that Bank, who were examined before your Committee, urge no objection to the continuance of the present system in Scotland, provided that the paper circulation of Scotland can be effectually restrained within the limits of that country. Upon a review of the evidence tendered to your Committee, and forming their judgment upon that evidence, your Committee cannot advise that a Law should now be passed, prohibiting, from a period to be therein determined, the future issue in Scotland of notes below five pounds. There are, in the opinion of your Committee, suffi cient grounds in the espeiience of the past, for per mitting another trial to be made of the compatibility of a Paper Circulation in Scotland with a circulation of specie in this country. Lnoking at the amount of notes current in Scotland below the value of five pounds, and comparing it with the total amount of the paper currency of that country, it is very difficult to foresee the consequences of a law which should prohibit the future issue of notes consti tuting so large a proportion of the whole circulation. Your Committee are-certainly not convinced that it would affect the cad) credits to the extent apprehended by some of the witnesses; but they are unwilling, with out stronger proof of necessity, to incur the risk of de ranging, from any cause whatever, a system admirably calculated, in their opinion, to economize the use of capital, to excite and cherish a spirit of useful enter prize, and even to promote the moral habits of the people. by the direct inducements which it holds out to the maintenance of a character for industry, integrity, and prudence. At the same time that your Committee recommend that the system of currency which has for so long a period prevai'ed in Scotland, should not, under exist , ing circumstances, be disturbed, they feel it to be their duty to add, that they have formed their judgment upon a reference to the past, and upon the review of a state of things which may be hereafter materially varied, by the increasing wealth and commerce of Scotland, by the rapid extension of her commercial intercourse with England, and by the new circumstances that may affect that intercoure after the re-establishment of a metallic currency in this country. Apart from these general considerations, bearing upon the conclusion at which they have arrived, these are two circumstances to which your Committee must more particularly advert. It is evident that if the small notes issued in Scotland should be current beyond the border, they would have the effect, in proportion as their circulation should ex tend itself, of displacing the specie, and even in some degree the local cum ncy of England. Such an in te, ference with the system established in England would be a m.nifest and gross injustice to the bankers of this part of the empire. If it should take place, and if it should be found impossible to frame 'a law con sistent with sound and just principles of legislation, effectually restricting the circulation of Scotch Notes N ithin the limits of Scotland, there will be, in the opinion or your Committee, no alternative, but the ex-
