SOCIETY OF lENORAVERS. The Seek ly 4 Ingravegs, estahlislie3 in 1802, wider the pa tronage attic Prince of Wales, have Isi,ly iiitn,duced seem rules and orders ii.to their system, of wnich the following is an abstrati: This society is to consist of histerical, portrait, and landscape engravers by profession, residing in the kingdom of Great Britain ; it is not to he limited to any number of Members, nor restriaed to age or sex. No foreigner can be permitted to become a candi date, unless he or she shall have resided two years in Use kingdom of Great Britain. The society is to consist of four species of mem bets ; first, governors, the number of whom is not to exceed forty, and who are individually to sub scribe a copper-plate, or plates ; secondly, associates, who are to pay an annual subscription, or compound for the same, out of which class the governors are to he elefted ; thirdly, subscribing members, who are likewise to pay an annual subscription, or com pound ter the same ; lastly, honorary members. Every person desirous of becoming a member, ex cept honorary members, is to enter his or her name in a book kept at Use secretary's effice for that put pose, and produce a specitrea of his or her engraving, w'aich is to arc left with the society until the ballet be concluded ; and further, is to be recommended at a general meeting of the governors by two members. Every person who shall be citified a member of the society, except governors, and honorary mem bers, is to pay the sum of one guinea to the use of the sseeety as his or her admission fee. A member engraving and subscribing a copper plate, or plates, of the value of seventy-five guineas, which plate, or plates, are to be published for the benefit or the society, will become A governor for life, and he exempt 'front all annual payments for the future. But although the value of the plate, or plates, so to be subscribed, is fixed, in order that they may be of a respeflable and more desirable size fer public encouragi ment, yet it is the intention of the society, that after all expenses of publication are discharged, two-thirds of the nominal value of the plate, or plates, shall be paid to the member sub seribing.the same ; after which the plate, or plates, and all future profits arising therefrom, are to be long to the seciety, and to be appropriated towards forming the fun .l. No person tesder the age of twenty-one years can be proposed for cieslion as a governor. Associates are to pay to the use of the society an annual subscription of three guineas, a unless the same, cr Any par i thereof, shall beremitted at a general meet ing of the governors. One meiety of the first year's sobs:: iption to Se paid at the time of Admission, and the remainder in six months, after which the sub scription is to be continued by regular quarterly paymeres. Sheuld an associate at any time advance and pay to the scciety the sum of thirty guineas over and shrove his or her admi eion fee, and all arrears then due by him or her, it will be considered a selmposi des for future animal p tyments, and constitute the Illietriber member for life. Associates may be admitted governors, upon their 'waving and subscribing copper-plates of the be fo•re-rnentioned value. Subscribing members are eleeted associates before they can be recommended for election as governors, lame it is out of the class of associates alone, the go mimes are to be elided. Gentlemen or Ladies, who wish to encourage this society, may be admitted honorary members ; and upon being proposed he one member, and seconded by another, will be put to the ballot for election the MOW day. Every honorary member is to subscribe, open his or her admission, the sum of ten suttees to the funds of the society. The first seventy-five honorary members are en titled to the privilege of receiving proof impressions of all, or such of the works published by the society, after they become members, as they shall chose to subscribe to, by paying for them at the ordinary or current price of prints. The affairs of the society are condated by a pre sident, vice-president, a committee, three trustees, a treasurer, two auditors, and a secretary. The annual election of the committee and officers is to be on the kit Wednesday in duly. The right of eledlion is vested in the governors. Female governors may *etc by proxy. Amongst the fine arts, perhaps there is none which bolds a more distinguished place, none which is more immorally applicable to the purposes of science, than msgravmlF, whether it be considered as a distinct art, woo auxiliary to the other arts and sciences. Sculp- WPM painting, and archite.hire, all derive from it a SION powerful assistance; and the productions of the two former especially, are indebted for much of their publicity to the exertions of the engraver : al most unknown, by seclusion its the cabinets of the cuticles, frequently of difficult access, the most va lued master-pieces of those noble arts might have remained i s long obscurity, but for the happy in vention of which has afforded the means of reissuing them from obheion, of giving them an easy and universal current', :end, at the same time, of in creasing their celebrity. Meurer history, anatomy, botany, and misseralogy, are no less indebted to this art, for communicating, in a clear and precise man ner, numberless cheraiteristic varieties of form, which Language alone, with ail its powers, is scarcely ca pable of conveying ; even history itself, with the ; science of geograeliy, is not only adorned, but illus trated ty its •eorks. By this, likewise, the study of antiquities is extended and improved; by this, the distant scenes of nature and of art are presented to cur vies; and, by this, the actions and features of • di eingnished personages are handed down to late poster sty. Such being the beneficial offsets of the fine arts aeon society in general, such their great advantages ;o this conntry in particular, and such the•impsrt ante of that art which is the peculiar object of this society, it becomes a consideration of the greatest moment to protect and support the professors of it. Nor by any thing are the ancients more honourably distingnished than by the unbounded patronage th ey afforded to the foe arts—a petranage which erne. pentli cowl:Mail W that exalted pitch of excellence, w•hicli Sit at this day contemplate with a mixture of cider, delight, and admiration. a~ EXTRACT 7%014 MINUTES OT LVIrLIICt Taken befnre the Committee appointed to enquite into the 'State of Ireland, as to no Ci:,:ulattng Paper ; As Specie and Current Com; add, the Exchange between that par: of the United Kingeorn and Groat BE llal n. The Right Hon. JOHN FOS I'ER. in the Matt. CSICOND REPORT.] (Mr. BoatorrzA Examinatinn, eontlwrod from our ?vow. of Tuet;lay.) Would you consider a loan of two, three, nr four millions, mide in Eli-glnd for the use of the Go vernment of Ireland, paid into the Bank of Eng land, to be placei there to the credit of the Bank of Ireland, and to be drawn for or rertaitted at the pleasure of the latter Bank, would in any degree operate in the nature of such a fund as you alluded to in the plan you have suggested ?--Yes, to all in tents and purposes. Do not both the plans which you have suggested assume the creation of a new fund in London, upon which the Bank of Ireland shall draw, and the im provement in the exchange to be the resalt of those drafts upon London 1--Yes. Do you not mean, according to the first plan, that the Bank of Ireland shall give Bills upon Lon don at a fixed and very improved rate of exchange for such of its own Notes as the holders of them re quire to have converjed into such bill; on London ? —•I mean, that the holders of stick Notes should pay a premium of I per c.:nt. for English Notes in exehange. Siace there is now a premium of about 10 per cent. on such exchange; do you not conceive that a considerable demand for such bills in exchange fot Bank of trelaud N . otes would arise ?—Yes. • Would nut such exchange have the cfreft of re ducing the present quantity of the circulating Notes of the Bank of Ireland ?-:-Certainly ; but I calcu late, that the plan which I have proposed wnul.l produce a rednaion of eschausgc ; and that, when that objeEl is accomplished. no material increased demand for Bank of England Notes would take place, and of course no material dieninution of the Ballo of Ireland Notes. Dacs net the second plan, since it proposes to make Hank of Ireland Notes payable either in Dub lin or in London, at the option of the holder, equally imply, that the remedy for the present high ex change will result from a diminution of the present quantity of Bank of Ireland, Notes circulating in Ireland conceive that Notes of such description coming to England, would precisely operate in the same way as would a bill on London. Do you then mean to say, that both the remedies of the present high exchange which sou have s.ll - imply a rechininn of the quantity of thi• circulating paper of Ireland, but that that circula ting paper may again be algmented to its present quantity without any evil influence on the exchange? —1 am of opinion, that a circulating medium, not depreciated, does not in its quantity fix the rate of exchange. Does not the quantity of circulating medium ope rate in any degree, according to your opinion, upon the eschanget—l am of opinion, that a circulating medium, which is the representative of property, and is not property itself, by such I mean gold and silver, does not produce any effect upon the exchange be tween countries. _ Supposing coin alone to circulate in a country. and supposing the quantity of coin to become greater Is proportion to the goods which it has to pay for than a similar quantity of coin in other countries, compared with the goods of those countries, will not the coin which is so augmented become the ip as compared with goods ; or, in other words, will not goods become dear as corn Area with coin ; and will not a profit on the exportation of th- article which is rendered cheap at home, through the aug mentation of its quantity, narrxely, on coin, necessa rily arise ?—1 Mould say; Yes. I hate always un derstood, that a high exchange between countries operates as a bounty on exports, and as a duty on imports ; according to this position, it necessarilyfol lows, that when bills of exchange, which are drawn in payment of goods exported, are payable in a larger portion of the money of the places, on which they are drawn, that the price of the cost of the goods is in so much diminished, and their being rea dered at a cheat+er rate - itt the market of consump tion, must necessarily increase the demand ; I con ceive, that when the circule.ing medium of a cows try is alone specie, that specie will be afrated in its value by its abund awe or by its diminution, the same as copper, brass, cloth, or any other Wilde of mer chandise. Supposing coin and pa l er to circulate at the same time in a country, and sitpiinsing the two, taken to gether, to become in like ITLUMIIIT greatrr in propor tiim to the goods which they have to transfer, than the circulating medium of other countries, will not the same at,* follow, via. will not the coin be ex pm ted on account of the profit attending the expor tation ; and will it not continue to be exported mail a just proportion between tht circulating medium of the exporting country, as compared with its goods, and the circulating medium of other Countries. as compared with their goods, shall be established ? Yes, unquestionably. Supposing paper coal to circulate in a country, the Bulks having been anthorised to suspend money payment., and supposiug the quantity of paper to be us the same sense excessive, in reference to the quantity of goods to be circulated, will not the pa per become cheap as compared with goods. or, in other words, will not goods become dear as com pared with paper nit an exaaly similar principle ; And win not the limitation of the paper be the only means of sustaining its value, as compared with the value of the circulating medium of other countries ? —Yes. Do you not then conceive that too great a quan• tity of circulating paper will have an influence on the exchate Will not the exchange be raised by every augmen tation of paper, and depressed by every limitation of it, supt...l.ing no other circumstances to interfere ? If that paper be issued in propm-tion to Its demand in exchange, for g ood and cothetaible securities, I think not ; which - securities I have stated before to mean mercantile bills payable at a stated period, of undoubted solidity and credit, and founde4 upon real ratrcantile tran%altionst upon public debt, pay able at specific periods ; such, l mean, Exchequer Kilk, Scrip Receipts, gold and silver, and property otsuch nature. Do - you Dot Conce;se, that real bills, foiradad on mercantile transaltions, may be mukiplied in a mer cantile country to an immensely great amount; may not for example, many persons adopt the prallice of selling goods on credit, who were in the habit of selling them for ready money before ; and may not many persons, wl:o, though selling on credit, were not accustomed to take bras for their goods sold, be induced to fa! into the habit's of taking bills, when they shall know that an unlimited quantity of such bills will be easily discountable; may not also many persons .cll on long credir, at six months for ex-. ample, who before used to sell a: two months; and, will not, in that case, thrice the quantity of real billi be at the same time in existence a country where confidence prs ails, and in which credit is en joyed without the interruption of any apprehension of foreign invasion or civil war, I think, that in pro. portion as the means of capital are extended; so will be the means of extending its trade and commerce. Confidence I consider to be the foundation on which rests the whole fabric of paper circulation ; but con fidence, in my estimation of it, is more extended in• its tunaions, and does more than the whole ag gregate of the circulating medium; it is the basis of what, in a mercantile phrase, is called .6 Book. Debts" which are not represented by anrcirculating medium, bills of exchange not being given . for them: Undoubtedly, the facility of discounting will encrease their amount, and furnishing a new capital to their possessor, will enable him to .carry on his trade with more facility, and to increase he Amount in proportion to the accommodation which he so receives.
