Payments, may be justly ascribed the ations and injariou variations that have taken Obis in the nominal value of property, and a large piellpl► tion of the distresses of agriculture and trade. Mee the object of our rulers was to carry on extensive war fare, do bounds were set to their extravagance. and the issues of their paper coinage were as unlimited as their ambition. The noisiest value of commodities et every kind eras raised, the market price of gobb and silver became enhanced, and metallic coin be. came embarrassed in its currency and driven milt of the country. The medium of commerce, instead of being what it should be, and what it was while it eon-' slated of the precious metals, an invariable standard of value, became ag variable as the wind. dependant upon the breath of a Chancellor of the Exchequer, a Governor of the Bask ; and as unsubstantial soil finny as the fabric of the notes they issued, and the promises they made. Enlightened men perceived, that on the return of peace it would be impracticable to carryon with foreign countries the relations of traffic under such an artificial and precarious system, and foretold the evils that have been since experienced in preparing to return to the lowa that steady currency whlch is common to the commercial world. On the different attempts that hare been made to smooth the way for this desirable event, on the various promises that were pledged and violated, and the numerous ex pedients that have been proposed and tried to accele rate the accomplishment, it is needless to dilate So many had been the disappointments heretofore expe rienced, that it is not wonderful if shrewd men ex pected that the accontplishinent could never take place. By the operations of commerce, however, since the cessation of war, and probably by the very cheap aess of oar manufactures which our national penury has produced, such a favourable alteration has been made in foreign exchanges that an influx of Kula into this country has been occasioned, adequate it is sup posed for commencing the resumption of cash pay ments; and the price of bullion is at present rather below than above the Mint price. On these rewinds chiefly, and partly in consequence of the failure of making istionitabk notes, the Citaxcet.r.on or vol EXCHIQM has been encouraged to give notice of a motion for authorising the Bank to anticipate the time appointed for exchanging their notes for cuius By the last Bank Restriction Act, it was provided, that the Bank might, on the first of May, 1522, or at any time after, pay off any of their notes in cash. The object of this provision, is acknowledzed to have been; to allow of a partial issue of gold to the public, before the Bank could be called upon to make their general payment in cash, by way of preparation, and with a view to the gradual introduction of a certain quantity of coin into the circulation of the country. It was not intended, it appears, that this preparatory and op tional payment should hare any effect upon the laws regulating the issues of Country Bankers, or the other currency of the country, wbo were allowed to proceed as previously till after the lit of May, 1%23, when the general resumption of cash payments by the Bank is to take place ; and they will be allowed to issue their .€1 notes as usual, till the expiration of two years from that time. At the time the Cm tNCILLOR of the ExcHEQUalt moves to authorise the Bank to issue these partial payments, he is, it appears, to propose another measure, not immediately dependent on this, though closely connected with it, to raise the legal tender in silver coin from -IN. to 51. This is understood to be proposed as a temporary measure to facilitate the re storation of the general currency of the country. With respect to this proposition we are not aware that any objection can be made ; but we confess that we are almost as sensitive in any attempts to tamper with the established laws and Usages that regulate the currency, as we are about the Cora Laws. We noticed lately a suggestion for coining the pound weight of silver into $0 shillings, instead of sixty-three, and rte deprecated the pretext on whish it was recommended. We remarked that every alteration that takes place in a matter so essen tial as the currency of a country, is sure to occasion another, and that other something else. We stated that the variations made from time to time in the va lue of English coins, and especially before the Revo lution, never failed to be productive of embarrassment and injury in the interchange of property and the cows: of trade. We intended to have illustrated these remarks by a sketch of the principal variations that have taken place in the gold coinage of England. e a cntnstances, however, have arisen which induce este postpone our purpose to-day ; but we hope to present our readers with the intended sketch and illustrations to-morrow. • At Oxford a Petition against the Catholic Rmanei. 1 pation was voted on Monday, is convocation, by a majority of Ml 9 against 17.

Ile darted from his carriage and sought refuge is the Friuli Royal Hotel. The populace mounted the roof, and penetrated into the House. Having got a view of th e Marshal. they fired at him. On the second shot the bullet entered the hack of his neck, and passed quite through. The Marshal fell dead. It was proposed to bury the body I immediately ; but the populace interfered, and threw it into the river. Roquefort was one of the most violent mad active among the populace. Yesterday morning Mr. Bailey, the Kirir's Met- 1 'eager, arrived in Downing-street with dipatches from Madrid. Mr. Latchford, the King's Messenger, arrived a few days since from Naples.

RICHARD Twtse, Esq.—This Gentleman, who hal long been known in the literary and ashsical circles, died on Monday last, at an wivance , l age, in Semen' Town. His first work was—" Troreto fler4oth Porto's! mod Spoilt," written at an 'irk period of life, and which ex cited much notice at the time of its. publication. Ilk next Work was—'• A nor through Irriftad," iu which be commented so freely on the manners of the airier' that he excited their resentment, which they displayed in a manner equally whimsical, humourous, end ginal. He sucressively published anecdotes of Cnettf, " A Trip to Pori's, - during t h e Revolution, and seve ral other works. Jaws' Hoseirs L.-.lienterday the anniversary of the foundation of this benevolent institution was cele- I brated by a dinner at the City of London Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Patron of the Society, presided on this occasion, and was sup ported in the chair by most of the principal members of the Jewish persuasion in this country, and by many distinguished persons of the Christina religion. After the cloth was removed the first toast given was " The King," which was drank with three times three. The nest toast was " The Royal Family"-'three those thews. The Royal Chairman. in proposing the next toast—" Success to the Jews' Hospital" made a very eloquent appeal to the meeting in behalf of the society. He was proud to meet so ninny individuals of every sect and every nation waited to promote the object of the institution, than which one of more general benefit did not exist. As a well-wisher to his country be desired to see every subject of hit Royal Brother well educated and well informed. He was convinced that the power of public opinion would sur mount all the obstacles that might be opposed to its progress, and that truth and-knowledge, even though they should be bennitically sealed, would finally pe oeleata and extend their intim-nee in every direction. " Success to the Jews' Hospital" was thee drank, with throe times three. Mr. T. L Out.osvin rose to propose the health of tbe Dube of Sussex, whom he described as the kindest of the kind, sad the first among those who were anxious to obtain for their fellow men the privilege of worshiping the Supreme Being according to the dictates of their consciences. The toast was received with the w armest applause,and drank with three times three. The Chairman, after returning thanks proposed the health of the President of the Society, Sir. T. L. °old smid,who returned thanks in a very neat and impressive speech. Unring the evening, the children supported sad educated by the society were introduced to the coon pany.
