Dissolution of Parliament having taken place, I avail myself of the opportunity of announcing to you that it is my intention to bullet: a continuance of that confidence which you have so kindly placed in me upon the occasion of the two last general elec tions of Members fo • the city of London. Intimately connected as I have been, for upwards 0150 years, with the commercial and trading interests of this great City I need Scarcely assure you that I highly value the honour of being one of Your representatives in Parliament. I presume it will not be necessary for me to enter into professions of what will be my conduct upon various measures that may be brought before the next Parliament, trusting my past votes will be the best assurance of my future intentions. lam firmly attached to our institutions in Church and State, but I sin ever ready to listen to propositions for improvement where abuses are found to exist. It may b e expected that I should make some allusion regarding Any alteration M the duty upon corn ; and upon that subject I must Say, however desirous of affording relief to the agricultural interests, I cannot give my assent to any further imposition of duty upon that necessary article ot food far the people. I o nly add, that in the event of receiving your kind support, at the approaching; election, it will be my earnest endeavour, as i; as been my past desire, to pursue that course which will be most in conducive to the general welfare of the community, and to attend an especial manner to the local interests of my constituents. I have the honour to remain, Your faithful servant, JOHN MASTERMAIL .Nicholas -lane, July 2, 1852. TO THE INDEPENDENT LIBERAL ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

Education occurs to me to be one of the few remaining questions, Upon which Electors are wisely solicitous to learn Candidates' views. Considering, as I do, that the education of the people is the most t htiaortant of all the public questions of the day—knowing the difficulties with which it is surrounded—l am prepared to support every practicable measure for the attainment of this great object. Allow me to add that I take a lively intc.rest in the welfare of the Working Classes, while 1 am decidedly opposed to any interference 'Whatever between the Emp:oyers and Employed; I am nevertheless of opinion that the Operative should, by the removal of all Legis lative restrictions, be enabled to elevate his condition and to carry his labour to the best market.

SECRETARY—Percy Drummond, Esq. Offices-9, Moorgate-street, London. The greatly increasing pDpulation, the commerce, the pastora, and agricultural riches of the colonies of New South Wales and Vic toria, the great success of the banks already established in Sydney, Melbourne, and Geelong, together with the extraordinary yield of the gold mines of these colonies, justly warrant the establishment of a New Australian Bank, with branches in such towns as may appear expedient. It has therefore been proposed to form a new banking association, to be entitled the Royal Australian Banking and Gold Importing Company, to be incorporated under a Royal Charter. The capital is proposed to be 250,0001., in 50,0( 0 shares of 51. each, on which a deposit of 1/. each shall be paid, and no further call to be made until the Royal Charter shall have been obtained, and not then, except by a resolution agreed to by a majority at a general meeting of Shareholders, to be called together fer that purpose, by three regular advertisements in the " Times," and three other Lon don daily newspapers. The object of the proposed Bank is to establish an office in Len don for the purpose of regulating and directing the general affairs of the Company. A Bank will be established at Sydney, with branches at Melbourne, and, if expedient, at Geelong, and other populous towns. The bank and the branches to carry' on the ordinary business of banking by discounting bills, 'issuing notes under the provisions granted by Charter, in proportion to the paid-up capital, advancing money on undoubted. security, and also on consignment of gold ore and refined gola to the Company in London; and purchasing gold in the colonies of New South IVales and Victoria, together with the transaction of steels other business as may be safely and legitimately conducted by Bank. To avoid losses byloaud or neglect of duty, the managed, and all pwroons ap pointed by ttelßank, will have to give competent security is England lov-their - ffelelity and good conduct in tbase colonies. A great part of the above capital being already subscribed, the Royal Charter has been applied for, and is under the consideration of the Board of Trade, and the Deed of Settlement will be completed when the remaining shares are subscribed, and the deposit of 1/. per share paid to the bankers. The combined advantages of banking and gold purchasing are evi dent. Firstly,—As a hank, an entirely new field is created by the im mense influx of population, which is being continuously added to by the daily increasing emigration for the main purpose of raising gold, for which the bank would afford a convenient and secure place of deposit, as well as a market for its disposal, involving a proportionate increase of trading operations and banking accommo dation. The shares of the banks already established in Australia are now at high premiums, in one instance (the Union Bank Shares) 80 per cent. Secondly,—By the purchase of gold in those colonies by. a' bank at about 645. per ounce, with a naaiket value here of abou t 80 s profit is shown of nearly 25 per cent. ; and looking at the ,anormous quantity of the precious metal, this business would appear to be un limited, while the recent facidties of a regular steam-pat ket inter course, both by the way of the Cane of Good hope, by way of Egypt, and shortly by way of Panama, will increase the profits on the capital by enabling the Company to make frequent impOrtations of gold during the year. Such are the sound and practical advantages which are submitted by the Directors to the public, and which they will have the greatest satisfaction, both as Directors and Shareholders, of promptly carrying into execution, in the full confidence that this Company will prove one of the most secure and profitable invest meats of the day.

One day last week an old gentleman, living on an in dependent income with his niece at tie Hotwells, fell in with a stranger, who said he was desirous of viewing the scenery for which-this neighbourhood is celebrated, but, being entirely unacquainted with the locality, wished for a respectable guide, whose expenses he was quite willing and able to pay, as ho had recently come into a fortune of 20,0001. For the purposeof talking over the matter more conveniently they adjou'ned to the Hiber nian Hotel, when they were joined la; another man, who , it transpired, was also affluent and gnorant of the na tural beauties of the district, which he was anxious to visit. To prove his respectability tad wealth he ex hibited a lot of notes; the other man did the same; and the old gentleman, who had no money with him, offered to procure a sufficient number of similar vouch ers from his residence, to which place his com panions went with him; and h 3 having procured from his " strong box" eight 51. Bark of England notes, they all again returned to the Hibernian Hotel, where one of the " strangers" observing that the old gentle man's parse was not a good one, insisted on presenting him with a better, into which his rotes were apparently transferred. It was then agreed that on the next morn ing they should go on a trip to Weston; a nd by way of finishing the d a y agr eea bl y they rode in, an omnibus to the Full Moon, North-street, whesce the old gentleman departed, after sundry libationsof brandy and water. On reaching his hom e h e sought hs pillow immediately, and slept composedly un til t h e morn i ng, when just as h e was starting to join the s t rangers at the ' ra il Way station his niece happ ene d t o di scover that t h e notes in hi s purse were flash note s , an d t h at he was less wealthy than he had imagined b y t h e sum of 40 1. Information of the robbery was at once forwarded to Mr. Inspector Attwood, and the police are making search for the thieves by whom the old gentleman was so impudently duped.—Bristol Mercury. • THE DIGGINGS. The amount of gold b roug h t b y t h e Admiral f rom Port Philip is 30,840 ounces, valued at nearly 120,0001. The captain of this vessel states that at the time of his departure the,difficulty of getting a crew was undimi nished. Ho was to have sailed on the 31st of March, but was detained in the bay till the 3d of April, from the necessity of sending on shore to get gold to pay his men before they would weigh anchor. The rate of wages thus required to be paid in advance was 451. for the rtm. There were about fifty sail in port deserted by their crews. The number of persons arriving at Port Philip' was about a thousand a week. A piece of pure gold weighing 281b 5 ., recent l y b rought i nto Melbo urne, had been shipp e d f or E ngland b y the Posthumous. Th e statement that the av erage pro d uct i on at Mount Al exan. dor was upw a rd s of 12,000 ounces per week (or at th e rate of about 2,500,000/. a year) is confirmed.

Daring last death, an d other causes,g last year alone, through Illne ss there were twenty ame changes i n the representation, or at the rate of near i quarter the of th e whole body in course of five years. These changes, too, all ma s t re member, embrace those ard?nt poli t i c i ans and those able statesmen to whomwe chiefly look for the movement and regulation of the Legislature. Our representatives may truly tell their constituents that this has been all eventful, a laborious, and a useful Parliament. They might add, what is equally tru e , th at there never was a Parliament which more illustrated th e weakness, not merely of statesmen and of parties, but of Legislatures themselves, and their absolute dependence upon influences over Which they have little or no con trol. The events of the Parliament have been from without; its labour has been a mere compliance with imperious calls, a nd its good deeds have been often so done as to reflect but little honour on the doers. So far as regards mere matters of histo r y, i ts fi ve years ' exist ence has been one of the most memorable periods in the anna l s, not on ly of this empire, but still more of Europe and of the whole w orld. It was summoned to its first see. sion in haste, while trade was slowly recovering universal collap se , from a recent and while Ire land was suffering an unparalleled famine. Eeery circumstance of the crisis was extra ordinary, colossal, and portentous. Commerce had not adjusted itself to an immense increase of im ports, and domestic credit was breaking down under an extravagant amount of railway enterprise. The Bank Restriction Act had just been suspended on the respon sibility of the Minister. Crime, now predatory as well as " agrarian," was rapidly increasing in Ireland. One of the first votes of the new Parliament was 1,100,0001. far the late Kafir war. Oa the continent were heard the murmurings of the coming storm. Pius IX, was at the beck of a revolutionery committee. The Austrians had occupied the city of Ferrara. A civil war raged in $ witzerland. Lombardy and Sicily were both on the eve of revolt. Schleswig-Holstein already gave work to the diplomatists. There were ill-omeneel scandals in the Court and Government of Louis Phillips. The new Parliament had scarcely met after the Christmas recess when the volcano justified these warnings, and all Europe was in a flame. Capital after capital fell into the hands of the populace, and Government after Government was revolutionized. All the existing bonds of empire seemed broken, and Italian, Sicilian, German, Slavonic, and lastly Celtic nationality, were struggling to extricate themselves. With the continental part of these con vulsions Parliament did little, except sit still and hope that Lord Palmerston knew more about them that it did itself. Whether it had any plan, whether his Lordship had any plan, and whether either Parliament or Lord Palmerston is better satisfied with the forcible suppres sion than with the sanguinary outbreak of a dozen re volutions, does not appear in the proceedings of the British Legislature. What we possibly admired, how ever, we were not inclimed to imitate. When a crazy Irishman took some twenty thousand Chartists across the river with equivocal designs, at least ten times that number of peaceable citizens took care there should be no revolution here ; and when another crazy gentleman pushed matters rather further in Ireland we sent him, with a few vulgar miscreants, to our penal colonies. The rest of these five years has been of the same eventful character. We have had a fearful visitation of the cholera, and have seen the mortality of the me tropolis trebled. We have had, and still have, another Kafir war. The Punjaub has been finally annexed; and we are now at war with the Burmese. While we were still absorbed in the calamities of Europe, and vvhile Protectionists still talked about a dr a i n o f gold, strange news came from afar. California, which when this Parliament met was an almost unknown province of Me xico,disclosed , i its long hidd en t reasu r es . A u strali a nas follow e d, and though'the ' amount of gold and silver now in the Bank is the largest accumulated ever by the hand of man, It Is two no more than the expected annual pro duce of these thenavral treasures. A new state has been founded on at our and a new empire is strug gling into existencee of our antipodes. Meanwhile, the nightmare povertythe miser anda no longer sits upon the industry of the old world; a t r h li e ament under which t the Bank of England has dreaded drain of its last sovereign may this week see the re 22,000,0001. of bul lion. Another fear now presents itself. What if our people should leave us too rapidly? Of thes e wonders England, as we ll as the Legislature, has been aplissiVe spectator ; but in another event the cou n t r y at l east h as some honour. Thanks to a noble-hearted P • rince and a small band of enlightened men, we had festival ' of a art such as the world has never seen . Among h incidents not so agreeable, but adding to the memorable hm c e a: t eeter of the period, we have witnessed the establishment of a foreign • hierarchy with territorial titles in thi s island, with other att ac k s f rom th e same quar t er on the autho rity of the L eg i s l a t ure an d th e di gn ity of th e C rown , The usurpation of despotic power in France by a nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte has revived the alarms which the victories of Nelson and of Wellington bad long since dispelled. At least, since the Peace, there have been no five years so crowded with events likely to govern or to disturb the course of the future. But, while such has been the period as Providence has made it, Parliament has had to perform an unusually humble part. The legislation of the period has been of a remarkably passive sort. There has been no ruling mind, or even a dominant party. Events have been met, and measures which have been for many years in the political laboratory, dropping from ono party to an other, have fallen on this Parliament, and will give to it an undeserved celebrity. We have met, or rather had met, the Irish famine. We have established an Irish poor-law on a tolerably permanent basis. Thanks mainly to the surviving shadow of the League and Mr. Cobden's attractive idea of falling back to the expendi ture of 1835, we have had searcning Committees, followed by reductions in the Miscellaneous, the Army, Navy, and Ordnance expenditure. Under the advice of the late Premier, the actual insolvency of nearly all Ireland has been met by a novel court of bankruptcy with special powers tor the purpose. The actual insolvency of a score or two unions has been mot with a rate-in-aid from the rust. When the arch-Re pealer was gone, and his position usurped by men who talked of vitriol and gingerbeer bottles, we mat these vermin with an Act which made it felony to agitate against the Act of Union. We met wholesale evictions in Ireland with an Act that provided at least a nt the under which the evicted might lie down and die cost of the landlord. We met the cholera, when it came, with a Public Health Act, and with Acts for the removal i of nuisances and the management of the metropolitan sowers. We have met one or two monstrous Cafes Cafes of bribery and corruption by disfranchising: lea st received or the borough. The West Indies have s for the equali their threatened coup de grace by an 2 t e . zation of the sugar duties. The nav i 6 at t Loll - laws, really involved in the fate of the co rn-laws, and actually suspended in 1846, as far as Corn was con. curried, have fallen, in spite ,_of a noisy d e f ence, l' though with hardly a blow. 'rnaPs it ranks the ge neral feebleness of the periods that t h e coasting trade was excepted. In order to sweeten the m easure t o t h e , shipowners, we threw in an Act for the regulation of the merchant service; an d, in order to sweeten that Act to the sailors, we added another for the extrication and better management of the Aiorchant Seamen's Fund. The Boards of Excise and Taxes have been consolidated, and the Crown lands and public parks and buildings put into different hands; both Sound administrative improve ments. The Cana of Good Hope, and most of our other colonies, having all steadily refused our convicts, we have met the difficulty with public works on our own coasts and with monster prisons. The Australian co lonies and New Zealand have demanded self-govern ment, and we have met the demand after a fashion of our own. The Canadian Government required Im perial aid in the settlement of a ceeain a wkward question, and we rendered it with more wisdom roan glory in the Rebellion Losse3 Act. Sir Jam Brooke cat off the heads of too merry piraetur!4_. we reduced the allowance of head-money fur tb o n . The Ten Hours' question has been w:sely corn , an unusual There has, during this Parliament, r, moral number of questions rather of a material a than fforded some character, and which certainly might haviencip 31 of these sc ope for a strong Government. The Pr 'se, on which has been the question of railway enterprise' it must be confessed Sir Robert Peel had set the evil pre cedent of inviting rather than controlling competitio n . The chief mischief was done before the days o f this Parliament. It met the presser© by extending time to companies.that could not buy their land or finish their works ; by offering facilities for the Itbandoment of [PRICE SD. railways and .the closing of their accounts ; and by several railway 'audit Bills, ending in 5 Rail way Audit Board, the only fruit of which was a very long speech one ee . ernaon, concluding with the announcement th a t, nothing, was to be done.

The Legislature met the evil by Perthiiting some volunteers to bring in a meatne, by requiring that its administration should be left to e, Board already oNe>reorked, by leaving it without woo niary means, and by stifle: ing it to became wholly in operative. The place of that Bill has now been supelitd by another of a lee; daring character, the success of welch has yet to be seee. Some other que3tions of the same combats; been left in the serve unsatisfactory state. But this Parliarnent will be memorable, not only for the greatness of the contemporaneous events and the strange position of parties, ,but even for a certain in glorious usefulness. A Parliament will always be re membered with gratitude that removed the window-tax, though with a substitute.. Of that Aet, however, it might be said that it was the result of the sanitary agi tation, the cholera, and the glass house in Hyde-park. The vast number, and the improved scale of the build ings rising in all directions round the metropolis and our manufacturing towns, testify to some other beneficial le gislation in the repeal of the duty on bricks, and the great reduction of that on foreign timber. The now scale of stamp duties is certainly the work of this Par liament, but of what section or statesmen in it cannot be so easily stated. Again, the Legal Reforms of this Parlia ment will PreettriLik lahistg.and...knonrable mention in the books of lawyers and the mouths of suitors. It has ex tended the operation of the County Courts;—it could hardly do otherwise when the public had pronounced so rh l e o af u osr d em l b y so in their favour; at the powerful instigation of Mr. Jacob Omnium, it has abolished the Palace Court; imn it tao h d a eth s ve m asr a hi d on e udse that alteration in the law of evidence which ct e h n ha a at b ne l cefedraoyDf host bL r . ye i A wt ob c fe h aw i a l n l i dt p pet Equity, isns tems;eopposentt of haetsi two rtner s ul i Li ng oy r l ve e dda sl value h e ej s en t testimony Courtf onwnehsy which time alonei a s abolished e he d ri tegyh t ae h i nar ueoncefate has a f s s Masters pa r ed mt, in ne Chancery; work hr, t and th r hasw thrown tthe e othermreearxrilttieuanns. meritorious extensive reformsauthors; th ori; d t the the adminis tration closing of u b show,ati 0 n l ,u n uama t us h eed e I s l e ,t , ehen a aaa s dssvue i rr n ieybs: s w o ta m htec e hree o ds t u h l e tto r s beenin reformed hype mesnet, such a s s pi t t h e ey or a h r i e as , so e l a y n an adverse House honours o f long g hardly be appropriated. maturity by Lord John o franchisewa n e d r to o ho ushagayhs, eheeehnasuhshetreld into the world by his opponents of Lords modified the measure, it will doubtless u it increase the weight of the people in the ensuing election. pp r t at i i n t a To li li fi te c h a el t ir i ri o s n hp , If, as we have intimated, this Parliament has been too much occupied with meeting emergencies to venture on any original path of legislation, that will not rob it of all merit. The Papal Aggressions provoked the Act against the Assumption of Ecclesiastical Titles. To the possibility of a more mat e rial a gg r es sion we owe a new Militia Act. Earlier in this Parliament the reviving animosities of Irish. zealots compelled a new Act against religious processions. The glaring scandal of a vast Crown property that, so far from yielding an income, was an expense to the nation, has compelled the enclo sure of Hainault and the New Forest, and the better management of all the Crown lands. The crowding of our towns necessitated the supervision of common lodg ing -houses, and the crowding of our emigrant ships fresh rules for the safety of passengers. It will possibly be remembered for some years that we owe to this Par liament what is to be Battersea Park, and the transla tion of Smithfield-market to Copenhagen-fields ; the latter change at least not before it was wanted. When measures of this sort occupy a prominent place in the annals of a session, it certainly does sug gest that Parliaments have not so grand and spon taneous a part to perform as we have learnt trom our school-books. In fact, the moving forces of legisla tion are the course of events, the natural changes of so ciety, the growth of public opinion, the elements of nature, popular passion, and the merest accidents. It is ono short /ustrum since the mandate went forth to re. turn the now expiring Parliament; and ihe most sag; cious statesman in the world could not possibly have foreseen any one of the extraordinary events which have occasioned at least the most prominent features of the subsequent legislation. Some of the more useful fea tures he might have anticipated, simply because they could not be avoided. If more has not been done during the last five years ; the Government which existed the greater part of that ;me inherited its best measures or bequeathed them to ,s successors ; if legislation has been unduly limited ,o meeting emergencies, to abati n g nu i sances , t o resisting aggressions, or providing against attack; if, after all, there is little to show for the concentrated energies of confessedly great statee men and an industrious Legislature at a great epoch, it is partly owing to the greatness of the events and the peremptory nature of the exigencies durinc , these five years. That Conservative element which procured for the Whigs a certain degree of support from the so-called Conservative party at a crisis of national danger, may be presumed also to have checked their own more ambitious development. But the chief cause of this apparent inaction has been, that the Ministers who met the Parliament in the a utumn of 1847 had not emerged, and never did entirely emerge, from th e diffi culties of their first humble position as a Government on sufferance. They were paralyzed, not so much by the direct blows of a powerful minority, though that minor* pressed them several times very near, as by the increasing apathy and disaffection of their own camp, and by the want of any watchword that could stimulate their listless and rally their wandering sup porters. For many,of their friends they could not go far enough, while a still larger c lass were never very enthusiastic in the defence of that Free Trade by which they conceived their own fortunes to have an Administration as one been impaired. Thus might describe the late Whig series of damaging defeats. The T ar g Minister tried every session some new device for the introduction of with a direct the Jews into Parliament, beginning ripper House. One of the mea sure, and ending with a Reform Bill, but with the same invariable ill success ifs the first acts of this Parliament was that for the establish ment of diplomatic relations with Rome, for which Lord J. Russell bad ostentatiously prepared by sending hi s own uncle to the Pope. The House of Lords ignoredrtoaivseaytheffincome the ecclesiastical character of that potentate, and on the motion of the present Irish Viceroy, insisted that his ambassador should be a layman. The first session of Irish o famine. this Parliament summarily refused to entirelyuse of tax from three to five per cent., even Miscellaneous millions of new debt incurred through th e the tea It refused a Secret Committee on the expenditure. Two years after the widor out .of the and imposed a Com mons took the stamp duties Chancellor of the Exchequer's h and tariff with which : be, never professeds' to be satisfied.

Yet no one blam e d only the D er by d ay the wh n e ot always the dinner ho u r, o r pledged and returned as Wh i gs , truth was, that Whigs, men tune vote with Lord and who would any John unless they had a very good excu se, on a regular field ' d most shameless - cl. ay, went about avowing the in ifference to the stability of the Cabinet. Either it went too far for them, or not f a r enoug h ; an d in the personal interest in preserving a just mean r .. hands of that cold and cautious Minister. But, besides actual defeats, there were some Memorable debates of a rather destructive, though not very conclusive character. Thanks to a clumsy anta gonist, Lord Torrington escaped through the fire. The present Minister was always terrible in the Lords, and his eloquence was remembered when the occasion was forgotten. 'Lcird Palmerston was always in trouble, and though he personally emerged more splendid th "' which policy his colleagues were engaged to a foreign.use or under they evidently did not themselves app reci went down ' stand. - Don Pacifico's little account never ent occasion in n the this country, and though on a BEOOI lo us a resolutio House of Commons p aased a gr al ,t a g r i nmeat, the 11 in most fa vour of the foreign policy °f G s Sir R.

We will pass by standing material, and look at the racter of this individual link in the great chain of Bri tish its legislation. The Parliament that is now passing to account must be allowed some credit for preserving he peace of the empire and the integrity of our institutions in a crisis of European change and disaster. But - its great and most useful feature has been transition. The Conservative party bas unlearnt its long error, and is prepared to bid for power on the common ground of public good. A mysterious destiny has taken away the two men that ' moat hindered its return to good temper and good sense —the statesman by whom it had felt itself betrayed, and the new chief who had sworn implacable enmity against him. Its present leaders are wise enough in their gene ration, and will teach it to discharg e with more pru dence the duties whether of governr:.ent or of opposi tion. The Wbigs have also learnt from the last five Years tLo wisdom of union, the Ilex Of ity of serious no tion, and the fully of delay:. Tire fate of the many measures postponed from the session of 1850 to 1852, in j order to ie lost for ever, oy passed by Lard Derby and An.. Disraeli, proves how little trust is to be placed in the Parliamentary to-morrow. Lord John Russell's new Reform Bill is a matter of history, and in a few hours the writs will issue for a new Parliament on the old basis.. When a fortnight will declare the character of that Parliament, it is useless to spend time in idle con jectures; but of one thing we may be sure—it will at least attempt more than its immediate predecessor. report : ASSAY OFFICE AND MINT IN NEW SOUTH WALES. ot, T es la ta e b L iis e: i i r : g lative Council of New South Wales ap pointed on the 18th of November last a select Cona- L'.itee to inquire into and report upon the expediency in Sydney an Assay-efface and Mint; and ti:, e which followinghnt the the ce h eO, ou l ur G sr co committee 00 of, b eeoleambohreartethanedcvoenriymditiffiteceupitrieznutireyd ItMDeittee have been etig,figed they nev ebtainttl !elite valuabl e , though coracting evidence© otter a caret - al conbidcration of which they have arrived at the following; conclusion..

Your committee, therercre, report, that it is not de sirable for your lleneurabe Council, at present, to uu ,ffie,,,nse.e.awrocucily,,ratttee are O f .opiLion that, per suaded, that the natural rEquirements and operations of dertake any legislation upon the matter, feeling trade will, within a comparatively short period, regulate the Supply and demand of coin for the exigencies and security of commerce, and remove any apparent &n om ,_ lies which during the first few months of the intense ex citement of the gold discovery and its wonderful on deve lopment have aff e cted th e ra t es of exchange Eng _ land, or apparently l owere d th e p r i ce of the commodity itself. Your committee nevertheless believe that if her Ma jesty would be graciously pleased to establish a mint, or a branch of the Royal mint in Australia, at which an assayed gold, or gold in bars or ingots, might be ex changed for the current gold coin of the realm, on pay ment of an . established charge, much good might be-ex pected to result to the interests of all producers of raw materials in the colony. Mr. DARNALL, the chairman of the committee, pro posed the following draft report, which was not adopted ; but it is published along with the above, accompanied by all the evidence : The circumstances which led to the appointment of your committee were, the recent discovery of gold in New South Wales, and its effects upon the exchange between Sydney and London. Your committee have, during the course of this inquiry, obtained much valuable evidence from several gentlemen well acquainted with banking and other mercantile operations; and your com mittee nave to thank those gentlemen for the readiness with which they have given their assistance. The pre sent price of bills of exchange upon London, drawn against produce, is 6 per cent. discount; and it appears to your committee that, as long as the exports of the colony are greatly in excess of the imports, so long such bills will have a tendency to go still lower, but finally depending on the rate of interest and the expense of twhietheoxu p t n ther andaid of ini the p argusold, was th l e ike s transit.

The instruction to your committee was t o i nquire o t the exports; exchange export s ; into, and report upon, the expediency of es tablishing an assay office or mint; but it has been suggested in t h e course of the evidence taken by your committee, that a te Government Bank of Issue might with adnantage be established, which should be made by law the reci pient of all the raw gold, and should issue its paper in exchange for such gold; by which means a paper circu lation, of the soundest character, based on and converti ble into gold, might b e obt a i ne d, and an immediate cir culating value given to this gold. The question is so dependent on the propriety of enforcing the collection of the said gold 13y the Government on which this com mittee are not instructed to report, that they refrain from expressing any opinion on the proposed bank. There is a great diversity of opinion among the wit nesses who have been examined by your committee as to the most advantageous mode of dealing with this new product. It is advanced on the one side, that the gold should be dealt with like any other production—by local consumption or exportation for sale to some foreign market, aad that it should be looked upon as an article or merchandise only. On the other side, it is contended that gold possesses attributes not possessed by ordinary mercantile; productions, and that it should be convertible into coin on the epot, without the necessity of exporta tion for that purpose. Your committee submit that it is the duty of the So vereign, having regard to her royal prerogative and the prosperity of her subjects, to afford the greatest facility for tie conversion of the precious metals into coin of the rea lm; and that this power of the Crown may now be r i gs ay exercised by the establishment of a mint in Syd ney for the common advantage of all the Australian colon;es. Your committee believe that this general duty of the Sovereign will not be que-:tioned, and that the difficulty i n applying the rule to this colony, which arises front the want of an exact precedent, suggests its own solu tion, namely, that no such opportunity or necessity for the exertion of this preregative has ever yet risen in the history of Great Britain, whose subjects now, for the first time, in ono of her most remote dependencies, are the producers of a vast amount of the most precious metals. Your committee are informed that the two processes of melting and assaying aro conducted by distinct ope rators; the one class dealing with the mass which is to be melted and cast into bars or ingots, and the other with a small portion of such ingot, usually about 24 grains. The minuteness of the portion dealt with by the assayer requires scales of extreme delicacy and cor rectness, and this your committee understand to involve the chief difficulty in obtaining a correct assay. There seems no difficulty in the melting and casting. The as saying is described to be a simple operation, attended With so little expense that, in the Dublin Assay-office con nected with the Customs department of that city, where this duty is performed under the multiplied checks of three competent gentlemen, for each assay of gold one as shilling only is charged; and it is obvious that each aunt say may determine the fineness of an iud9finit e e lff a u m g and of bullion. Very little delay is incurred persons of competency could be sufficient integrity and .. assaying, and your committee see no room in to m doubt that leave no reasonable a satisfactory manner, so as t f o readily obtained in this colony to perform such duties in Your committee, however, their investigation, or the ap prehensionfidelfidelity of their i the r e a p e a c r u f r s a . c y _o_ . think that the melting and assaying of gold would not the public to justify th e alone be of sufficient value be had at trifli ng cost; which the same result can • and that the mere ascertaining of the value of raw gold, Government in interfering a to aw with private assayi ng , b y as of any other merchandise, may properly b e l eft to skill and competition. ovamtee in connexion with a refining and the operation of e lastly to consider the expediency f the Sovereign to afford to the subject The duty o , . . e assay c • greatest facility for converting the precious se fully recognised that the Mint, o f Your th e establishingcommittee a -rci mint, on the general revenue of the i s charged_ • .

Your committee think that by these means the trade and prosperity of the colony would be advanced, and the gold discovered in the colony would discharge its proper function; and that the exportation which is now compulsory, would, by the wholesome interference of the Crown in favour of its subjects, be made a matter of choice. Your committee finally submit to your Honourable House that it is expedient to petition her most gracious Majesty to regard with favour the require mentr of her Australian subjects in this matter, and o cause to be established in Sydney a branch of the Royal Mint.
