Events of the first importance claim oar first notice, end among thos►, and at their head, may be placed the condition isle which the Public Fends Iwo been suddenly thrown, by a concurrence of facts and reports. The fieetnetlon of the Fends is of greet canseqeence to t►oawsds of persons, innocent of Ray gambling or speculating transactions. A dying parent bequeaths his money through the Funds to his children, as they shall attain the age of 'maturity. By the depression io the Governs/sett Fends (far such they art, although many person cordoned them with the Bank concern:)-11mm orphans have less motley in capital to receive fewest years after the death of tbei► father or mother, than the sum actually pet into thee, @Munich ran. sing at interest for se many years. We etdea•eered to clear op this mieceteception some days age, and hove ISHOO to beliewewe sacceeded so far es to cat the - fore, fie which esisted lathe minds of the Public, pro. pegated by the err s assertions in other Journals, that " wit► the failure of the Bank the Government we become bankrupt !! !" A monstrosity in po litical argument, 'Flagg front the grossest ignorsece or perversity. That the Government would be In convenienced by the breaking of the Bank most he allowed ; bet that evil would be soon remedied. It could establish offices and clerks of its own to pay the interest of its debt to the Public—and Heim forbid that eke Public's security for lending money to the Goverement in its distress, should rest upon the ho nour or ability of a few speculating merchants in money and bullion, though incorporated with privi. lees, is the Panels* of which the Public and them. selves were supposed likely to be mutually benefited. The Bask, therefore, might stand, though the Go vernmast should fail, and vice versa, though by some certain cundisoable and half secret mesterei be. moms them, through the unlawful nfficieesness end intrigues of Ministers, they are both brought into disrepute. Ono of the reports uhich contributed to let dews the Funds was, the groundless report of the death of the Kies of FIANCr., because such as Mid might endanger the tramqeillity of these kingdoms: whereas his Majesty was well at the tint.; for on Tuesday last he transacted business with the Chen. teller, stud the Marquis Dissoi.t.Es, President of the Coeocil of Ministers. The most material pressure en the Stocks, however, 1 was occasioned by the weight of onfavnerable opinion as to some infest transections between the Bank and the Government, which it was Imo/Lined would be brought to light by the Secret Committee. Opinion geeersily exceeds in espies& the facts out of which it seises by the dilating breath of invention, sad, therefore, both the Bank end the Government which gave it existence, were 'opposed eqeslly shekels.— Whereas a rational man would think his property is the Goveremeet's cant rsct more secure by the breaking of the Bank to-morrow than by any longer illicit con nection between what neght waver to have been joined, even in ides. The Governmeet of Greet Britain, if purged by a proper dose of Reform, may live pros. porously beyond soy assignable time ; but the Bank has fallen into too many fatal errors, (from • mer cenary disposition,) to be restored by any alters. tire system whatever. ft is, therefore, oo loom a question whether it can ever recover its prig tine vigour, bat how long it may Hem out its ill spent life. Lord KAllit uays, " Whenever es lions or bodies of wee (hhiked together es the hi. corperated Bank Governors sod Directors have been) are became t►oroughly corrupt, they are past cure, sod most die of (Mr. WINDHAM would have ostetho words killed of), sod their place be re-peopled with new men." Mr.POLTIVIIT, the rich Mr. Puittesy, and eleven other wealthy individuals, offered them selves as those stem uses; bet Mr. PITT refused the offer, for he was too much implicated with the old Doak, by the sssistsoce he derived from it in per. *slog his mad war system, to favour any proposals of a new Bank, however promising to the public good. Osr seemed t►eceoduct of the Bank has bees express. ed ever tad our again in varies, shape, we s►all therefore avoid the tediousness of a prose repetition a it, by ceocluding our present strictures with so eight line epigram, not our own, bet falling in plea santly with our opinion.

'identity++, and which we ere convinced most and will be the forerunner of that wholesome and rational Reform which all parties wow seem to be sty desirous to bring about; and which, it is evident, is necessary to preserve that principle of free and independent Representation which is the corner stone of t►e British Constintion. We shill watch the progress of Ibis MI with wellies anxiety, as we have been the int and foremost in exposing the correption and isseso.: runty generated by the present system of making votes to serve electioneering porpoise, a system which we have seen dell/pining ground,aed andermining our best and most valuable franchises, and which, if not timely checked, it is impossible to say to what evils it may not lead. Mr. W. WILLIAM, who has given notice of his intention to bring forward this Bill, is, we believe, a man of the most h ble and independent principles, and who, wholly unconnected with either party, is only •olio's to prowls the Constitution in its ancient splendour and rigour, end we hue no doubt that his exertions will be sepporled by the best wishes of every good and honest man. --woo.-- MR. lionnousrs LRI7ER. We are pleased with the perusal of the Letter of es► late CAodidate for Westminster, whom we can hardly call Ilse rosnicceufal Caadidate, since be bed by for the majority of wishes for his success; sod but fee the degrading sad disfranchising effect of tasation, wesld have had a majority of votes is spite of the schism among the Friends of Reform at first setting out. Is this Letter be has not only the lad word, but lb. lest Espana is his favour, is that be may be sere he has greatly increased his po. polarity, by his confirmed talent for cool reasoning. It is teeny a cooslderatios et as small import, whether a voter can be tensed beck frees tie Poll on accouat of set having paid the last demand for Penes Rates. Its several decisions on disputed Elections for not and lot Swoops, it has not bete held necessary that this onerous as should hate bare been paid up to qualify the Elector to vote. Rather than Mr. Honnovas should be kept oat of the Hasse of Cow. moos for want of money to urge this point, so es. sential to the interests and the freedom of millions of awn, we doubt not bet the espeece would be cheer. fully defrayed by mere tbs. at malty indisideals— peace a piece here would Indeed be well laid eat. Oer Reeders will remember, that a Meeting wee reenetly held in Dublin of the PROTESTANTS of the genteel wealth and power, and highest rank end talent, In Ireland, the object of which was to further the claims of their Catholic Brethren to be fell par. ttelpotors ie all the benefits of the British Constitu tion. It is with high satisfaction we state, that, on Moudoy last, one of the largest and most respect able Meetings of Catholice was held in Dublin, to espress their gratitude to the former distinguished Meeting for their just and generous exertions io be half of the Catholic Claims. Tile whole of this pre sents the seed pleasing spectacle to the moral eye and feeling. It is, shove all Wags, worthy of remark, that the DLSCUIDANTS of those who parffeffecs es the lam CATHOLICS are MOO he persons to be MOM wriest to Inseranode their Catholic Brethren.— This becomes them. It is an acknowledgment of error ie their forefathers, which shows that they are maimed of the fault, and willing to •tore for it. We believe they are willing to wipe away the stains from the memory of their ancestors; and we believe also they will effect that, by carrying the greet object of their Petition to Parliament. The Catholics will be freed, and freed by the miaow of repeateet Pro• tweets. 'lb. infuriated Protestants, some of them born within the pale of the Catholic Church, end deserters from it, are scarcely to be found. The NINIOADOTS are gone; abed the IMPUITANT PRO. TUTANTS are leereasing. It will became SI WHOOP a task to oppose Caenouc Ell INCIPATION, as it is to oppose measeres for RETRENCIIIIIINT in the Public Espenditere.

EC•NostY IN AN ANNIAIIIADOIL—Ths profosion which has been laid to oho charge of oar Ministers, don not ran through their diplomatic agmits.--The English at Paris base $ story, that the British Am. bassador coming bouts rather later then usual, from an assembly out night, felt himself hungry.

The soldiers, who mere &Motets called out to swell t h e triumph of "1.4111 end Liberty," may also cam plain of having escaped his grateful recollection. The pialosiao lose of my Imo opponeues Address may, perhaps, make you suspect that my predictima has been accomplished, and that he is its a mach worse humour, upon his success, than I am, seder my defeat. Perhaps the Whigs, too, begin to find that they have gained nothing by this Election—perhaps they begin to bed that they hate not polled down the fame of Sir Fataircts BURDerT—perhaps they begin to God that they have thrown no di•rrodit upon the Reformers, sod that the only lots of character has been sustained by themselves.
