If 15 or 40 millions of the 70 millions of Exchequer Bills 'lily in the market be. funded, and a provision be made by loan fur the deficiency of revenue of 1817 and 1810, 1 think it is pretty clear that 40 milioua of stock must be created, or neatly 00 millions Of Exchequer 11,1:s must be in the market. any Minister venture to leave on the market such we emormows sari, particularly when the Bank of Eng land is about to resume its cash payments, and must, of course, withdraw a large portion of notes now in circulation, by which money must become extremely scarce in two or three months; and. add ed to this, there can be DO doubt that our forces, as well as those of-our Allies. are likely to be with draws' by October or November, by which measure Europe will again be left at the mercy of the rest less spirit of Frenchmen, mid confidence shaken to its very foundation throughout the globe. 1 am, Sir, )ours, &c. &c.

The great and growing extent of the busi ness, says the Chelmsford Paper, which has dis tinguished these Sessions for the last two years, seems to continue with unabated tendency to in crease the labours of the Magistracy. The state of the other counties is not very different from that of Essex. This increase of mural depravity is hot easily reconciled with the flittering accounts in the Treasury Journal+, of the improved state of the lower classes. The extraordinary exertions made to clear the streets of the miserable wretches who present themselves at every corner, by the ex ercise of humanity, or the enforcement of the laws, have, in some degree, ameliorated the condition of the metropolis. Speculation being busy re:peeling the probable dissolution of Parliament. early in the ensuing Session, we deem it expedient to direct the public attention to a letter, a Inch will be n l in another part of our Paper, addressed by PETER MooaE, Esq. to his Constituents of Coventry, in answer to an offer on their parts, again to constitute him their Representative, free of all expense. The letter presents a proud recapitulation of the claims of this honest and upright Senator to the confi dence of the people, and to have " his claims al lowed," in a manner so eminently flattering to his feelings, is nu leas honourable to the Constituents than the Representative. It is unnecessary at this moment to canvass the judgment, or political dis cretion manifested by Mr. MnoaE during his long Parliamentary caretr. It 'matters not in the im mediate view of this subject, how intimately his opinions may have consisted with the dictates of reason, humanity. or liberty, or how far experi ence may have brought a sad confirmation to the truth of Isis political forebodings. It is enough that be has shewn himself independent in his prin ciples—that in endeavouring to stem the tide of corruption, he has nut been borne away by its in fluence—and that now he can enjoy the luxury of uniting the applause of freemtai to the smiles of his own good conscience. This is all that we call expect f;o . m the depositaries of our limier; and if all the Alembers of the !louse of (7omnions could produce as proofs as 51r.

We reported the circuinstances of this case when it was heard by Lordship at the Sittings altee last Term. It will be recollected that the questitm was, whether Mr. Cox, a clerk of the Bank, might he allowed to prove a debt c.f 2:4,000/. nn their behalf under the commission against the Baiikrupt, and vote for the choice of assignees without a s p e ci a l power of attorney from the Bank to enable him to do so. His Lordship, on that occasion, was of opinion that the Bank were entitled in the tame manner as any other corporate body, by giving a special power of attorney for that purpose, a n d that the clerk named might be admitted to prove the debt. But with respect to the voting for assignees, it would he necessary to prove, that the Seal to the power of attorney was that of the Bank of England. Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT this day stated, that the Bank hail now given a special power of attorney to Mr. Cox. to prove under this sole bankruptcy, and an application had been made to the Commis. sioners to allow Mr. Cox ; to vote for assignees, but they required that the Batik should have a special order from his Lordship, or that he would make a general order authorising them before they per mitted it. • The LORD CHANCELLOR—" I cannot mike a general order ; but the best wily to settle the cros tini, will be, and to which there can be sin sil.pc tit)... is, for me hr snake a declaration by way of re cital. that the Bank are mititled to prove I,y 'heir clerk. If I was. to make a general wile!, it would affect the Bank in the mime Way as it would any other Corporate body. You may take it this a ay. that the Bank are entitled in prove by their cleiL, the debt in question, oil the seal affixed to the power of attorney hieing identifird 114 that of the Bank of England; and as to the question Of eta log fur assignees, the Bank must execute a spec,al power of attorney for that purpose."

Alr.Turristu stated the cave, as it was afterwards substantiated by evidence. In the course of his address he lamented that the E.: K le Itisurauce Com pany, by trellising to !sly the stun specified in the I` l3 lirYs should hire put on his trial, fur a capital ofrence—for such, in effect, was the consequence of their conduct—an individual who had passed through bre with an unblemished reputation. Cuuscious of his integrity, he now submitted his case to the t nos sideration a Jury of his country, being perfectly convicted that their verdict would rescue his IL ha r3cter from an imputation most unjustly cast upon it. The Learned Counsel thou proceeded to call his witnesses. George Pulley stated, that lie was employed as shoptuan by Mr. Mist. On the 17th of felorrary last, he took an account of the stock remaining M. the premises in Fleet -street. after the last sale.

Other stoves were fixed in different parts of th. house ; she ground floor, and the first and second floors were tilted up as a bazaar. At the time of the lire there were on the premises several lookiog glasses. Six with large plates, and a unutber of smaller ones, which he considered to be worth 500/. There were portable writing-desks, a crane. pocking-cases, and various other articles of consi derable value, on the premises. 11'itiress had a lit.v of the preniises.
