A cash credit it an undertaking on the part of a bank to advance to an individuill such stuns of money as he may front time to time require, not exceeding in the whole a certain definite amount, the individual to whom the credit is given entering into a bond with securities, generally two in number, for the repayment on demand of the sums actsilliadvanced, with interest upon each issue from the day des. which it is made. Cash credits are rarely- given for sums below one hundred pounds ; they generally range from two to five hundreds pounds, sometimes reaching one thousand pounds, and occasionally a larger sum. The hank allows the ,party having the_cash credit to liquidate any portion of his debt to the bank, at any time that may suit his convenience, and reserves to itself the power of cancelling, whenever it shall think fit, the credit granted. With the view of ascertaining the total amount of the paper currency of Scotland at different periods, and of estimating the variations in its amount, a le ter was addressed by the Chairman of the Committee to each bank in Scotland, requesting information as to the amount of notes issued below and above five pounds, and outstanding at certain given periods. The Banks were informed that ,this communication would be considered by the Chairman as one entirely of a confidential nature; that he would make no disclosure of the amount of the issues of any single Bank, but col lett from the returns the general result, and present that result to the Committee. An answer has been received to this communication from all the Banks in Scotland, with one exception.— Some of the Banks that have made returns have not been able to distinguish the notes under and above fire pounds ; where that distinction has not been made, the proportions have been estimated by a computation framed upon the proportions that appear in the returns of those Banks which were enabled to distinguish their notes below five pounds from those above that sum, and the result is stated in red ink. Three of the Banks from which returns have been re. ceived have omitted to state the amount of their present circulations that circulation has been taken, in the sub inined gtneral estimate, on an average between the highest and the lowest amount of the aggregate circu lation of those Banks respectively during 1825. Subject to the foregoing explanation, the following is the g neral account, deduced from the return made by each Bank of the paper circulation Scotland at the different periods referred to in that account.

It will be seen from the above Return, that the present amount of the paper currency of Scotland, being in fact (with the exception of silver) nearly the whole currency of that country, is computed to be three million three hundred and nine thousand pounds, of which two million and seventy nine thousand pounds are in notes below five pounds. It has been calculated by Dr. Adam Smith, that the amount of gold and silver coin current in Scotland before the Union, and then constituting nearly the whole circulation of the country, was about one million *ter ing. He oh:el ves, that the amount of silver coin brought into the Bank of S:utland for the purpose of being recoined, immediately after the Union, was four bundled and eleven thousand pounds sterling; and that, it appears from the ancient records of the Mint in Scot land, that the value of the gold annually coined some what exceeded the annual coinage of the silver. He calculates, therefore, the total amount of gold and silver, in circulation, about the year 1707, at one million. l'he same authority, speaking of the year 1771, estimates the whole circulation of Scotland at that time to be about two millions, " of which," he obsetves, " that part which consists in gold and silver most probably doss not amount to half a million. [To be concluded to•morrow.] In the House of Lards yesterday, the Royal Assent was given, as we stated, to the Banded Cerra Liberation Bill, and the Foreign Corn Importation Bill ; and also to the Garden and Hot- house Bicl, the Rortilment of Annuities' Bill, the Metropolitan Turnpike Trust Bill, the Charing Cross Improvement Bin, the Westminster Improvement Bill, the Irish Prisons' Bill, the Irish Church Rates Bill, the Irish Benefices` Bill, the Limerick and Waterford Road Bill, and several Private Bills.

It is very currently reported its the City that the Sir William Curtis, arrived off Yarmouth, prom St.. F, ters . burgh, has brought a letter, dated the 19th of MAy, from that capital, stating that great fermentation pre vailed there ; all the shops were shut, the Custom-house guarded by military, no business transacting, and the Police parading this streets. not suffering a person to be from their homes afttr a certain hour; and the military is said to be greatly dissatisfied with the Emperor NICUOLAS having made peace with the Turks. Hamburgh Papers to the 29th ult. reached us this forenoon. They contain an article from Stockholm, stating that the Cnown PRINCESS and her infant are so well that no more bulletins are to be issued.—All the Provinces had requested, through their Governors, to send a deputation to congratulate the Royal Fami'y on the birth of the Duke of SCANJA. The Kiss, how ever, has intimated that he does not wish deputations to he sent, being convinced that the expressions of gra titude to Providence, and of fidelity and attachment to his person and dynasty, which have been manifested in all parts of the kingdom, are as sincere as if they were laid at the foot of the Throne. Accounts from Madrid, of the 1&h May, state that the fimous PANTISCO, so celebrated for his cruelties during the revolutionary wars, has again appeared in the mountains of Andelomia, at the head of a strong party; troops have been sent from Malaga, Seville, and Grenada, in pursuit of him. The negotiations are still going on with the English Ambassador and the Spanish Government, for the ac knowledgment of Mexico and Colombia, but great fear is entertained ber will not succeed. The dispute with the Regency of PORTUGAL and the Court of Spain does not appear as yet to be settled. Antigua Papers to the 26th of April, St. Thomas's to the 15th of April, Bogota Papers to the 181 of March, and Caracas Papers of the 12th of April, have , been received atthe North and South American Coffee- house, none of which contain any information of conse quence. The Paper from Bogota of the Ist March, states that the Senate has repealed the law which limited the interest of money to 6 P er Cent. The most cautious neutrality appears to be observed by the Prussian Government with regard to the Turks and the Greeks, notwithstanding the report that the subscription for the latter was sanctioned by it. The Berlin Stole Genzdto of the 23d ult. contains a long article correcting what is said in the Hamburg!, Correspondent of 28th April, the Allgenteine Zeitung of 7th May, and other Journals, on the subscriptions raised here for the suffering Greeks, and observing that they are to be considered not as means to enable the Greeks to con tinue the struggle, but solely for the purpose of re: lieving their misery, and would be restricted within its natural limits, by the sonsideration of the many calls which their own country offered upon the beneficence of the charitable and humane. Brussels Papers to the Slst ult. reached us this fore noon. They state that the Minister of the Interior has transmitted to the Governors of the Provinces a cit• • 'taint% enjoining them to take care to prevent all recrdit- Jag for any foreign service whasevir. The Military Tribunal at U.recht continues the in vestigation of the affair relative to the fortifications on the Southern frontier of the Kingdom, in which several superior officers are implicated. General K RAYENFInFr has lately been to Utrecht to give evidence before that tribunal. The Netherlands State Courant gives accounts from Batavia up to the 21st of December Wt. The tenor of them is very favourable. The Govei nor Central ar rived on the 16th at Weltoreden. Major General VAN Great returned on to e 12th to Djo jocarta, where Le took the command of the troops of Lieutenant Colonel CoCHINS. Between the 10th and 17th of December our troops had had various engagements with the rebels in different districts, and had everywhere re pulsed them. Among others a corps of 2,000 men were routed on the 12th by Colonel VAN DIEL. Dutch P.ipets.to the SEst ult. have reached us. They contain an article from Antwerp, stating, that the Sani tary Cordon, on the frontiers of Moldavia, is removed, and the communication entirely free, as usual. These Papert contain the following intelligence from Batavia: AMSTERDAM, MAY 30. Our Papers contain long extracts from the Batavia Journals to the beginning of January this year. They contain very advanta geous accounts of the operations of our troops In the rebellions districts. His Excellency the Governor General Van der Capellen gave up the Government on the lit of January, into the hands of his fficeliency the Lieutenant General de Kock. There have been mute troubles in the Residney of Bantam, which ender other circumstances would merit little notice, but in the present state of affairs, appeared to be of importance. An old Mahomad Tommongong, of Menes, had collected some ad herents, ind farmed a plan to surprise Triringen. The plan being discovered and frustrated, he returned with three or four hundred Men from his district. The Resident immediately collected a considerable fore. under the native Chiefs. On the 15th day of December, the rebels were met and put to Sight by part of this force ; and on the 17th, they were discovered on a steep hill where they had fortified themselves. This post was attacked en all sides and the enemy put to light. Subsequent accounts say that the Chiefs have been abandoned by most of their followers, and there Is reason to hope they will escape the measures taken by the Police to arrest them. Seven of Mahomad's followers are killed, two of whom are recog nised as two of has principal adherents. There is no indication that this affair has any connection with the revolt in Djoejocarta, hut that It is one of those occurrences formerly so frequent In Bantam, but of late years have happily been rare. In the STAR of yesterday, we gave, exclusively, the Kroa's Speech on proroguing the Parliament, which was copied into the second Editions of our contempo raries. We bad, on the preceding day, stated, that the prorogation would positively take place yesterday, and in this the Pul?!:, will perceive the correctness of our inforzaton. There never, perhaps, was , a time in which a General Election took place under more fsvoarable circunt stances, both to Electors and Candidates, than the pre sent. At peace abroad, and tranquil at home. without any party politics to agitate the country, of give a bias to Ithe ferlings, the Electors can calmly examine the con- duct of their former Representatives, and investigate the merits of new Candidates on such points as they deem requisite in their Representatives, The Candidates, trio, a• e situated quite as favourable; the Parlia ment has spun out its term so nearly, that no per son doubted for a moment that its dissolution would take place about this time ; no person has therefore been taken by surprise, but, like the Welsh Curate, who placed himself at the head of his congregation when the cry of a wreck reached their ears,—they all start fair. The Ministers, and no Admieistration was ever mote deservedly popular, rely with' conscientious firmness on their integrity and the soundness of their principles for support; and there is no doubt, that those principles will triumph at the ensuing Election, although they have disdained resorting to any clap-trap for popularity, but have pursued the even tenor of their way amidst some opposition certainly, but none making them afraid. There is one point on which we think the present Ministers have never had the credit to which they are entitled—we mean the readiness with which they throw open the door to investigate any subject on which doubt may exist, andthe candid manner and piomptitude with which they yield, when they can be convinced that their views are mistaken. In some cases, perkaps,the concession may have been made too readily ; but if so, it is " a fail ing leaning to virtue's side." That Ministers are not de ficient in firmness, has been proved on all occasions where firmness was necessary. and part'cularly in the late discussion on the Bonded Corn and Corn Importa-1 Lion Bills. We have not room now to dwell on the • ineasures which entitle the present Ministers to the support and lasting gratitude of our countrymen ; nor is it necessary, since they are well known, and will, We are sure, be duly appreciated by all classes of society. Letters have been received from Carracat of the 20th April, stating that the Expedition against Cuba has been given up. Private letters from Vienna express great uncettainty of the recovery of the Emperor of Avarua.. The King of Name is severely indisposed with the gout. The Princess ESTERNAZY, wife of the Austrian Am-I bassador, arrived at Frankfort on the 24th ult. and will come to London after visiting the Courts in the neighbourhood of that city. New Peens.—We hear, en authority en which we can place reliance,' that the following distinguished persons are to be raised to the British Peerage t—Lord Bawasnas, Mr. Jamas STIMIrr WOWL&Y, Mr. CMARLIIII SO= &M s Mr. Humana, Sir Jonst LllCirritly Sir CHASLICS &MAW. Sir Caustsa Lase, Lord Nowrimaso, and the Lady of Sir H. HALFOIIO. We also under stand that the mother of the Right Hon. VMS` Ftrzataatn is to be created an Irish Peeress, and that be is to succeed Sir CiLIALte Lowo as Paymaster of the Forces. There being no precedent of a physician raised to the British Peerage, and it being the gracious intention of his Ma:alert to ennoble the family of Sir HIWZY HALFORD, it has been found necessary, for the accomplishment of ' 1 that purpose, to confer the title upon Lady Hatroan.a-Morn. Paper. Prince BIRNARD of Saxe-Weimar was at New Or leans on the 20th March. This Prince hoped to be ip England in the swath of July, and to arrive at Ghent actin beginning of August. An article from the Lower Elbe says, in the aiight 0:, the tid, between twenty and thirty houses were unfortunately destroyed by fire in the village of Biankentie, and a man burnt to, death in the Ferry-house where it began. r i'A S H lONA BLE INTELLIGENCE.

Nearly a quarter of an hour elapsed before the Smuts could number the necessary Forty, and when they were at last obtained, the speech of Mr. Gwent. oc cupied the whole of the brief interval before the House was sum moned to hear his Maixerr's Speech. The Learned Gentleman seemed to be much annoyed by this untoward circumstance. Several malpractices having taken place at Madrid, In the employment of the funds destined to the maintenance 'dale Royal Volunteers, have led to a decisieo, that their management shall be no longer confided to the civil officers of such corps as hitherto, but to the War Department only, which, in concert with the Inspector-General of those troops, shall make the distribution of the sums required. Sunday being Corpus Christi day, the King of France bad agreed to walk In the procession from the parish church of the Palace, St. Germain l'Auxerrois, to the Cathedral. About eleven o'clock, however,when the procession was to have started, it tamed so heavily ' that neither his Majesty nor the most zealous of his Priests could think of exposing their persons to the pelting of the storm. They therefore took the easier method of walking devoutly in procession twice round the interior of the church, and considered this sholtered promenade as " a fulfilling of the law." The King's Coofesior, no doubt, thought mercy better than sacrifice, and did not wish " that cold water should be thrown" on his Majesty's zeal.
