421. .TITE Izlr-i N C ES. We understand that the Customs end Facie Naas are now daily paid in Eiteheqtlef Bills, consequently the cash that ought to he SWAM byA those departments (and paid over to the Mast in consequence of the loon of 8,500,0061, ettlited tte to the minister on the dUtieti reeeireble Int the Consolidated Fund between October end January), Is now in great van treeited 4tl orthequer bills; and we are therefore, at a hiss to know how the Bank will pay the January dividend% unless by an advance of from 10 to 1 i Millions on the Consults thted Duties, that Mott y be receivable between January and April. We cannot but look *kb reat alarm at out event unninded debt, whith the minister told is was to be so much reduAll this year. the following statement we believe to be be tolerably rottect Deht.

Can We Iva at this enormous debt without alarm, when we see the revenue declii.inz daily ? The Customs ) we think, fell off in the two last weeks, as compared with the corresponding weeks of the last year, near 120,t900/. and every one may know that the duties on spirits and tea will alone fall off from one to two millions ver year, and we fear the latter sum is most likely to be nearest the actual deficiency. What pastacea has the worthy Chancellor of the Exchequer for hese evils? The old one, we suppose —sx PLOt E NTS. We implore Parliament to digest this subject fully and fairly, and meet the difficulty, notwitlostaulding it is great. The Public is fully aware of it, and we firmly believe would rather fuer thediffieulty at this moment than defer it; at T COME if MUST. THE. PUBLIC FUNDS. 'l'he late fears concerning tne power of the Bank to commence payments in : ullion at the stipulated period have entirely subsided. Gold and silver have been for mate time at the NI ir:t price, and even at 'that rate purchases are hot made to the extent odi:red. We are informed that a tender, to a consi derable amount. was last week refused by the flank. With respect to the probability that bullion Will not advance beyond the present price, we ate enabled to state it as the opinion of the most eminent per. tens in the city, engaged in money transactions with foreign countries, that no alteration in the exchanges, by which the value of bullion may be influenced, is at all tube apprehended. The new plan, tberetiire, for restoring the currency of the country to a sound and healthful state, could not commence under more fuvouraible auspices. The state of the Stock-market, and the resources of the Government, are a subject of far greater anxiety upon 'Change. The notice of adjournment given on Friday in the House of Con mons, from the Ist of January to the Bth or 10th of February, has, however, imparted some confidence to the speculators for a rise; they infia, that the wants of Gevemmene cannot be so urgent as their opponents would repre.stt.them to be, since they are able to delay, for so lotlg ii period, any propositions on the subject of finance. tAs this explanation is not spi the only one the ease will admit, is very fur, how cycle, from being 'implicitly rei 4 ei ; indeed a plan is actually pointed out, and tire: ateti as adopted at the Treasury, which will render delay immaterial, though it Will only suspend, iied not absolutely r•ruove, the weight that hangs over the financial prospects of the country. We give it merely as re ported, without pretending to vouch for its accuracy. It is well known that the dividends payable in Ja nuary far exceed in amount those payable in April and October, and that the provision fur those divi (lL ads is the more Immediate difficulty to be eneoun- Wird. The revenue for the existing quarter, ac curding to returns made up to Seturd•tv, the 4th itist. is stated to have Wien off In nominal amount 700,0001. compared with the tole tug quarter ef -lea per, and has sufered a furibeelielual dimi nation, by Or tavinclit tif Ex .0 1 (to what awiettit calthOt be an'ertaioed,) e tilUre been fur aeme time at a large discount, instead of Hank notes, iltti ti:e Treasury fur duties.

On Monday evening last ) immediately after the meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, Mr. Cobham was served with a copy of a writ in an action brought against him by Mt Wright, for ti libel, of which he was the author, and for the pub , ficttion of which Mr. Wright recently recovered .5001. in an action egainst Mr. Clement of the Strand. He was at the same time and by the same officer arrested for a debt contracted previous to his departure front this country. He was subsequently bailed by Mr. Hunt, and Mr Dolby, the publisher of his Register: SIR FRANCIS BURLETII AND Consferr.— , The friends of Cobbett a hay days since waited on Sir F. Burdett, for the parpose of obtaining a recon ciliation between them. The Baronet was, however, inexhorable. He said, Mr Cobbett could not forget the many falsehoods published in the two-penny Register, which the writer must have known to be either true or tithe ; it true, no honest man would wish to renew an acquaintance with him (Sir Francis; and if fihe, what could be thought of the individual promulgating such atrocious calumnies, with a knowledge of their being such? Here the conversation ended, and the persons retired.—i -The Legislatorial Attorney for Birmingham waited on Sir Francis for the same purpose, and received a similar gnawer, with the addition of the observation ivntained in the memo rable letter written in answer to one received from ' Cobbett, wherein the notable discovery is made of the taw way to pay old debts, This letter was written on the Slst of January, 1818 1 and contained the following passage shove alluded tot—" Nothing can or ought to stifle the expression of the disgust every honest mind )piist feel at the want of integrity in the principles he (Cobbett) pruelaints." fir Charles Wolsely left khortly after, and so the business re mains at ,present, . %; bre. gi COIN EXCHANG R.
