its a 'be bank "ter4 laefore them, or the - Charter of (-At Company under consideration, it would be calmly P d gravely discussed. He felt convinced it was for t he public beneat that ehe Bank should not he exposed tr rivalry, in London at least ; and was satisfied that, in t ile Lite inst incet, and indeed in future, considering this ,v.'s a bold speculative country, if there were no such body as the Bank, acting without apprehension of rwnl y, and intr.l idly standing in the gap, that great ury would be suitaiued, and the shock severely felt by the Pub- Ic. The Bank, it bhould be recollected, was exposed to louts like e•her trading companies. and in the late forgeries of a well-known barker ne the Bank of England, it lost not less than 250,0001. _ - Mr. HUM E said he would pardon all the errors of the corn rtunication ro the flank, for the sake of that one admission of 1-‘ Majesty's Ministers that Charters were getting out of fashion. 1:e regretted that Lotteries, which the Chancellor of the Exche quer had promised two years ago should be at an end, were still goiri, on, and he feared they would go on for ever, for aught he knew to the contrary. _ _ _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER confessed he must take some blame to himself for the continuance of the Lotteries, which had occurrtd in consequence of his not being aware that the Bill which sanctioned the drawing of perhaps 60,000 tickets, permitted them to be drawn at different times, in different of sub. sequent years, so as to spread the drawing of those tickets over future years. There would be now two more partial drawings, which he hoped would conclude the Lotteries for ever. Mr. ROBE RTSON condemned in the strongest terms the policy of his Majesty's Government, in breaking down the old' commer cial system of the country, to make way for theoretical 'lotions of a mischievous tendency. He alluded chiefly to the condition into which the silk trade had been thrown, and the manner in which Government, whilst sweeping away' other charters, were ready to set up a charter against that class of traders who deserved their lhe accounts respecting the Bank of England were then ordered. GOLD ISSUICu. llfr. ELLICE gave notice, he should on Thursday next move (r an Account of all the Gold Coin issued by the Bank of Eng land in the year 1822, and since then lo the present year —His object was to disprove what had been asserted, that there had been a quantity of gold issued by the Bank since the withdrawing of the I. and 2/. Bank of England Notes in 1823, equal to the quantity of Bank paper so withdrawn from circulation. On the present ozca.ion, he would move fur an Account of the amount of Pro nm.sury Notes of the Bank of England, and Bank Post Bills, issued Isy the Bank from the sth of April to the 4th of Fehruary lan The CHANCELLOR of the EIC.CIIRQUER anticipated no nbit:ction to the motion. The case to which this information was mit:tided to apply was one which could not be done justice to unless the House were possessed of the information now ruovid fur. :ill - . PEA USE acquiesced in the sentiment of his Right Hon. nieud. He believed the Directors of the Bank only withheld their ::counts from the public eye through an anxiety to prevent any possible prejudice, through their publicity, to the general interests of the community. Mr. MONCK thought that very mystery had not a little con tributed to the Lie consternation. The candid, of f icial muse of the &ink of France, each year, had added considerably to the con& deuce of the public in its resources and arability. Mr. CA LC It A FT again referred to the subject of the stoppage of stamps to Country Notes of one and two pounds. Now with respect to the protection of silk throwsters, the Government bad ,ecured thernklves; but in this instance he wished to know what security they bad for this measure? Suppose the Revenue were to suffer to the amount of the stamps. refused to be stamped in this c_se, had the Right Hon. Gentleman taken any security to prevent the Revenue being endangered ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was true his Majesty's Ministers had taken upon then% an authority to do that which they had no right, strictly speaking, to do. and exer. Gird ari authority which might render it necessary to apply to Parliament for an Act to indemnify their conduct. It was be lieved to be the only way which could enable Government to give ilfcct to its intentions in favour of public credit. Possibly there Were some who would think it was an improper step—but this would be a subject fur the future consideration of Parliament. Mr. CA LC lt AFT disclaimed altogether any intention to throw net Ministers an imputation of intentional misconduct; but it was like many other things of which they had been guilty—a very great mistake, to say the least of it. Mr. BLLICB defended the conduct of Government, because it would have been in the power of Bankers generally, by form of law, to have demanded a twelvemonths supply of stamps at the StanSp Office, and thus have defeated the provident intentions and intri Terence of Goverment. Ile, for one, should feel no objection to grant Ministers an Act of Indemnity. Mr. CALCRA FT was surprised to fend his Hon. Friend argue as be Lad. Did he recollect that the Country Bankers had applied wider the sanction of a License for which they paid, and a solemn guarantee of an Act of Parliament, authorising them to present :larir notes to be stamped? Mr. GORDON said. his Majesty's Ministers had, in his mind, aoticiplted what the lluuse might do, or possibly might nut do. The Bankers who expected by return of coach several thousand pounds of stamped notes, had been driven to great straits and dAculties, although possessed of poverty. He hoped Minis. ters would reconsider the whole system they were now acting on, tar if they persisted, in his mind,si?nilar distress to that experienced by the agricultural and manufacturing interests, iu 1821 and 1822, would rectar once mote. Air. ROBERTSON regretted that this step had been taken. It %fluid wot have been unworthy of Government to have taken the advice of practical men in this House on the subject, before they had made up their minds on so important and hazardous a measure. Mr. MON CK was disposed to compliment Ministers fur the 6. mness which they displayed in the instance alluded to. Mr. 11USKISSON gave notice that he would, on Monday, move for leave to bring in a Bill, to carry into effect such stipule 'tens in the Treaties concluded between this eoantry and the Go vernment of South America as may require Parliamentary interpo silion and sanction. '1 he House then, on the motion o f th e Cuaxentos of the Mi ta/swami, adjourned at ilalf.past Seven o'Clock. By arrivals from Danerara we have received intel liv,ence to the 27th of December. The subject of general discussion in the Colony is the suppression of Vie Journal, the Guiana Chronicle. We find it was the subeditor who was confined by the order of his Excel leaey the Govansiort, the premises having been forcibly entered by the officers. As information had been given of the intention of his Excellency, the house was in cnntequence shut, and entrance refused ; the officers to:ced the door, took the subeditor into custody, set five Colonial Seal upon all papers, documents, and also von the doors. A letter from S . Thomas, in the same Paper, ann'nnces that ten slave ships, of which the Captains and the greater part of the crew acre French, A.-.!e ready to sail ler Africa, to procure slaves. Mr. CotIitTSWAY, the new Clerk Assistant of the House of larrds, cominented his ditties to-day. By the new iegulazions he has a fixed salary of 2,5001. a-year, be. , !,:e) the large official house in Palace-yard. Mr. Cow-, PLR, his predecessor, had fees as well as salary ; and, naiag to the number of private Bills before Parliament I:ht Session, his last year's income is stated to have been Le:ween eight and 10,0001. Monday evening a public Vestry Meeting of the Piiishioners of St. L onard's, Shoreditch, was held in tie Parish Church, tor the purpose.of taking into con `iceration'the propriety of Petitioning both Houses of ment, ear ly in the present Session, praying them to cri:t prompt and vigorous measures for the ameliora of the condition of Slaves, and events illy to abolish ',4 4 , y in our IVes: India Colonies.

Tllle, EVENINi; STAR, LONDON. FRID.IY, FEBRUARY 19, 1826. STOCK F.XCI4ANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK, The Consol Market this morning has somewhat improved, and affairs are not so gloomy as yesterday. Consols opened at 771 for the Account, and went up to 711 i, with a good deal doing. We have it again reported that fifteen thousand Exchequer Bills are going to be funded. Consols are now 77j 78. In the Fureign Market there has been a good deal doing in Greek Stock, which has got up two per Cent. Colombian and Mexican have fallen. Current Prices: Old Spanish 101 11, Mexican 601 1, Colom bian New 521 1, Russian 7914 • ONE O'CLOCK. Consols kept steady at 771 to twelve o'clock, but soon after a sudden panic prevailed in the Market, and they fell to 771; moat of the eminent Brokertesold largely, and a great quantity of Money Stock has been disposed of. The Market is now very heavy and gloomy, as is usual when a panic prevails. We have reports in abundance. • It is now said that bad news from Russia has been received, and that one of the first houses in London has applied for assistance to the Bank, which was granted to them ; by others, this decline is accounted for, by the apprehended proceedings in Par liament to-night, and that some of the great leading men in the City have got information on the subject.

The question is supremely important—may its decision prove in the event to be auspicious ! On that event, however, it depends, whether property in this country to an immense amount, shall or shall not suddenly change owners. The measures to be proposed by Government alto- gether originate in, and flow from the following leading proposition, on which is founded the communication recently laid before the Bank from Lord LIVERPOOL and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER There " can be no doubt that the principal source of the 66 noceut distress is to be found in the rash spirit of " speculation which has pervaded the country for some " time, supported, fostered, and encouraged by the " Country Banks." This is no party question.. The dictum which we have quoted is open to fair and candid examination, and therefore, with the utmost deference to the high authority from which it proceeds, w.e beg leave to consider it as - a matter of pure reasoning, within the compass of every sound understanding, and on which Government possess no peculiar or superior information. It is divisible into two affirmations:-- I st. That the source of the present (we unhappily cannot say recent) distress is to be traced to the rash spirit of speculation. 2d. That this spirit had been supported, fostered, ant encouraged by the Country Banks. To the flu st we readily assent. That excessive speculation has been the cause of our present sufferings, is•as certain as that the sun is the source of day-light. But %hat was the cause of the rash spirit of speculatio.t? The minor affirmation does not assert th a it origin ded in the Country Banks, but only that, having originated in some other source, it has been by them supported, fostered, and eaci.u: age I. The remedies are nut, however, to be directed to the spring and well-head of the evil principle itself—not to the main strea•w,but to the auxiliary rivulets by which its bitter waters ate alleged to have been augmented in their desolating course. Fiona sincere and hopest convictioo we are constrained to declare our dissent from the mi nor . affir ma ion altogether, and on the contrary to main tain, that so far from the country baoks having non rislr:d the spirit of speculstion, they were tbernselies. its victittls i attd , irresistilsly etlguiphed within Its volt , - I, long after its flood-gates were th . rown down. The giant evil was born of other parents, Wat fostered by i other me ins, and soon stalked abroad in full Iss4-.; turity, devouring and assimilating and incorporating with i•seli, e7ery source and branch of industry in the land, —among others-, the !sinking E•tablishments. When the country was stript of every vestige of dis posable capital by the cl .ud of locusrs who were permitted to overrun its whole surface—when, more over, the wealth required for the or.finary and indis pensable purposes of productive industry, was also ebbing away into the ocean of adventure, then, and not till then, were the country bankers importuned by solicitations, entreaties, and enticements, such as no human fortitude could withstand, to supply a ficti tious wealth to a certain extent, which at the ut most was of no great magnitude. But, to fill this vacuum, a similar species of fictitious wealth would have been called into existence in another form, if those establishments had never been created; and this from the desperate extremities to which indi * vidu4ls were driven to procure accommodation. The promi.so. y notes of private persons would have Multi pl ed and circulated, in lieu of local pa ; er, which is one and the same thing. We are info, mad, on good authority, that a great Winking-house in tl.e City had singly, at the moment of its stopping payment, discounted the bills of its own customers to the extent of £600,0001 —Are we, then, to be told that the increased issue of one and two pound n.rtes in 1825, to the extent of three or four millions; created the catastrophe of last Decem 7 her ? when we know that, in the summer of 1824, long before any such issues for k place, the country ran mad with speculation, and the Three per Cents. were forced up very nearly to par. The regulation of private banks may, abstractedly considered, be very fit and proper for the consideration of Parliament. This is one thing.. But whether they were the original cause, or the sustaining principle of the late mania, and whether their being reformed will prevent a recurrence of the evil, is quite another. Cacaccas 'Wets to the 9th December have reached us. They announce the arrival of a body of Scotch settlers, sent out by the Association in London. These Papers contain an indistinct account of a meeting that was to take place, between Bottvas and General Sacks, at La Paz, on the Ist of Jaly last. This forenoon we received German Papers to the 3d iast. One of them contains the following article on the education of the late Emerson, and the Grand Duke CONSTAIITINE, of Russia : AUGSBURGLI, FriltUA IIY 2. The Carlamb Gazette contains the fallowing article: " Some French Papers, for instance the Courier Franfais, give some erro- DeOUS state Tents respecting the education of the Grand I)uke Constantine, who has so nobly refused a Crown. The two Grand Dukes. Alexander and Constantine, were educated-together, under . Ste direttion of Field Marshal Count Toltskow. Each of the Princes•:kad besides / a particular Sub-tutor, and four cavaliers, attached its his . service. TM Sob-tutor of the Grand Duke Con stantine via! the Baron of Ones Sacken, formerly Russian Am basoedor-in Denmark; and in his youth cavalier to the Grand Duke Paul, afterwards Emperor. Oue of the cavaliers of Prince- Constantine, was Lieutenant-Colonel Baldani, a Greek of Thes 'sly, a man equally distinguished by his education and his know ledge, who was specially commissioned to instruct the Prince in the Greek language. After the death of this respectable Officer, another Greek cavalier was employed for the same purpose. The duties of M. Kourouto, now a Lieutenant-General, did not com mence till after the education of the Grand Duke was finished ; they gained him the honourable confidence of the Prince, which he enjoys, but which had no connection whatever with the duties of a teacher. These were confided exclusively, for ten years, to the same Frederick Cesar de la Harpe, of Rolle, who was the tutor of the Emperor Alexander; and his constant care to cherish brotherly affection between these two Princes, probably contri• bused to produce and maintain that perfect harmony which always subsisted between them." DOVER, Fits. 9. His Grace the Duke of Wattutormt, with Lord Firanov So iazasrr, Lord DUNOLAS, the Honourable Captain C.Arscaar, and Dr. Hon, arrived this morning, at nine o'clock, at WRIGHT and Marmots's Ship Hotel, and at eleven o'clock embarked on board his Majesty's packet the Filar, Captain Haatztrots, for Calais.

The Chatham shipwrights were dismissed from Sheer. ness duck-yard on Monday. Tim ARMY.—Wednesday morning, the . Depot of the 59th Regiment marched from Chatham on its route to the Isle of Wight.—ln a few days the 36th and 63d Regiments are expected at Chatham. Letters from Spain state, that corn motions existed in several parts of that country; and that at Oviedo the troops had marched into the town for the put pose of quelling the disturbance, which had risen to an alarming height. The reason of this ci , fference of opi nion was in consequence of an altercation having taken place between the militia and the garrison. It appears by the letters from Glasgow, that a forgery in bills has taken place there to the amount of 30,0001. or 40,00 W. which was likely to produce an effect more injurious to trade than numerous failures would do, as the Glasgow Banks would in consequence exercise a rigid scrutiny into the paper presented to them to dis count. On the whole, however, the accounts from the country are more favourable than was expected. Mr. H use maws last night.intinsated, that on Monday next he should apply . for leave to bring in a Bill to carry into effect such parts of the Commercial Treaties between the new States of South America and this country as required Parliamentary sanction. There seems little reason to doubt that the affairs of the Greeks have taken a vet y favourable tura, though their successes may perhaps be somewhat exaggerated.
