But at present, nut being obliged to pay 'fciroutes with gold, they are not under the ne. wily of keeping any considerable quantity of gold 'nitwit treasury. As to the attend measure, Vii. their assisting my solid Country Bank, which may happen to loader a tempoiary pressure. I am aware that di Loudon, bankers concur with the Bank of bland, in viewing the profits of these . Country Woks with envy and db.:will, and that . a gene cliriour has been excited against the number of Sue Country Banks; but while the circulating Ott:lint tif this country is . a Paper Money, the ntisteuce ut Coun try Banta is necessary. If notes of the Bank et . .England were the o nly pip e r m o , In &Op/sties - In the distant eoentiesi it would impossible to prevent them froM being forged ; tit nothing can so effectually *prevent the forgery d Paper Muney, as the quick 'retain of the notes kin the dice from which they *ere issued. iii icppOit of this opinion, let it be recollected, thatit au the guvernment Paper Money of France, and sat the Paper of the municipalities, which became t>iicraiitui by forgery. The British Ministers em yloycd forgery to dettetay it; and can wo suppose dat Beaman *ill hesitate to emplvy the same tons to destiny the credit of our Paper Money, from there being only one sort of Papee Motley is eirculatitm, tWa 'forgery bf it will have berme easily practicable, . •! _ - - :• .

It is to keep every market where coals are sold, froM the Orkneys to the Laud's-End, u birely supplied as possible, which of coarse insures a good price fur the article here. To this end; each coal-mine is rated at the full quantity it is knOw capable of producing ; and then Mr/ alaft rain: quishes a 'certairk'propoition monthly, fur which he is amply repaid by the additional price extracted from the consumers. This Combination, to call it by the proper nainrl has been acted Upon upwards of twenty years; and in , the outset, an oath was administered, once a month, to the person whose bu. siness it is to deliver the coals to the shipping, that AO more than the quantity stipulated had been sent away; but soma law-men hinted the danger of such a proceeding, and the practice was prudently dropped. Should any coal-owner vend more than the quail. tity allowed by his contract, he is obliged to pay back a part of his profit at the year's end _to those who have not disposed of their full quantity. Let the people of the Metropolis, when they com. plain of the extratagant price of fuel over ashes three times thrown on a handful of expiring em. bers, give this subject all the consideration it de- „ . . serves. But it will be asked, how can Parliament come to , certain knowledge of what is here asserted ? I pretend not to .11a,,actuainted with the se:tent of Poiliamentary power in' an investigation of this na, tore; but i(the principals themselves (many of Whom ire in the Ilouse) could not be interrogated—their agents certainly Might; particularly that person who has acted for many years as confidential clerk. A list of names, of twenty valuablnevidences, is much at the *trice . of any spirited Member who will bring the hinnies, forward ibis The Pitmen are no* nearly:subdued ; the mise rable pittance raised-by their, *Pres and children, begging through the country*, - has not been suttici. ent to. su pima them; and ;hip-owners of this place ; they have been cptiquerld by the po licy of a well:conducted, Combination. In the latter struggle ; however, the aid of Horse and Funk, Magistrates; and Constables Was fonnd necessary —but, above all, that of the country bankers, who, no longer obliged to pay their notes in gold, now, with Safety to themselves, enter into any profitable monopoly projected by designing men. • • 4 • ” before closing this letter, I cannot omit men. potting ,the phitanthropy i of a high Dignitary of .titeiCharOti tOstkanwvfad hit atablos to. be. used es a llikse of Complies (those of the county being all finco.and monied, his poor horses t I know lot to wind lodgingi, in a most s inclement season (it Which' I thin they had great_ reason to complain),; merely for the acconunoditiod of a parcel of riot. ous Pitroen. 14urth Shields.

Information being given the next morn ing to the constables of Wolverhampton of this dar. ing outrage and the men described, wayrants were granted, when John Dolton and, miners, were apprehended (two other (suq)ccted . persons made their eicape); and, on searching the premises al these men, must of the property stolen st the Bilston, Willessliall, and Stafford turnpike gate houses was founds with some joints of fat mut ton • salted down, and a considerable ditantity . of rendered -Mutton fat. keeper of the Stafford turnpike-gate s Wore. to,.Phillips, as the, man ,who gagged• him, and botk . - ba.and Dalton were fatly cointoitteitto Stafford pi* .• Sd r4c op.carTi.-441a.thinly . looking woman . of a genteel appearance, whO travels in a green.:bo died chariot. land has ; with her,..two females. one about 12, and the other ghost 15 . years of age, itas - robbed sererattrideepetsPle the JAst . three - .weeks,.
