Intimately connected as I have been, for'npwards of 5) years, with the commercial and trading interests of this great City I need Scarcely assure you that I highly value the honor of being one of Your representatives in 'Paillament. I presume it Will not be necessary for me to enter into professions of.what will be my ' conduct upon various measnre , that may be brought before the next Parliament, trustix my.,past votes wili be the best assurance of my future intentions. I am firml y a tt ac h ed to our institutions in Church an d St a t e , but I am ever ready to listen to propositions for improvement where abuses are found to exist. It may be expected that I should make some allusion regarding 2 nY alteration In the duty upon corn ; and upon that subject I must say, however desirous of affording relief to the agri cu lt ura l interests, cannot give my assen t t o an y f ur ther imposition of duty upon that necessary article of food far the people. I only will will be at the app roaching election, it my earnest endeavour, as " 3"4 bee n 111 Y past desire to pursue that course which will be most co nducive t, the ge nera l welfare of the community, and to attend in an especial manner to the local interests of my constituents. I have the honour to remain, Yoar faithful servant, JOHN isfA.STERSIA.,N. Nicholas -lane, July 2, 1852. , TO THE INDEPENDENT LIBERAL ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Gentlemen, Interested with yourselves in securing the services of a gentleman ofthoroughly liberal principle; and of high commercial standing as a Representative of the City o' London, we have much pleasure in as suring you that R. WIGRAM CRAWFORD, Esq.. IS WILLING to serve the City in Parliament, if elected by the Independent Liberals of the Metropolis, and will deem it a high honour to be so elected. • HENRY B ATEMAN, ) Hon.

WIGRAM, CRAWFORD, Esq., be held in the London Tavern, on MONDAY, the sth instant, to adopt measures to Secure the return of that Gentleman as one of the Representatives of the City of London. Electors favourable to the object of the meeting are respectfully -Invited to attend. The Chair will be taken at Twelve forbne o'clock precisely. HENRY BATEMAN, Hon. Secs. CHARLES GILPIN, • j pro tern. • Committee Room, London Tavern, July 1, 1852. • .T o THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. Gentlemen,—As the election is rapidly approaching, I think I t right to put you in possession of my views with regard to certain questions, which are deeply interesting at' the present moment. Oil the subject of Parliamentary Reform and Free Trade, I pro &ably not add to the assurances I have already given you, but the attempt to persuade the people that their means of living would be ineeased by lessening the amount of food to be divided amongst 't em, points out free trade in knowle , ge (the repeal of the Paper, ,A4lvertisement, Newspaper Stamp Duties) as one of the surest 'lP‘arantees of free trade in corn. I am in favour of absolute and unrestricted Religious Liberty and Equality, and am, therefore, opposed to all grants for ecclesiastical Purposes, recognising the broad principle that religion is a m ttter 'With which, as lying exclusively between God and man, Government have no right to interfere, neither by discouragement on the one :hand, nor by patronage on the other. The payment of Church-rates is not only an intolerable grievance, 'to Nonconformists, but is unjust in principle, and ought to be abo lished without any substitute from the national purse. 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 important 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 f this great object. Allow me to add that I take a lively inttrest in the welfare of the 'Corking Classes, while I am decidedly opposed to any interference Vilatever between the Emp'oyers and Employed ; I am nevertheless ofopinion that the Operative should, by the removal of all Legis- Uri ve restrictions, be enabled to elevate his condition and to carry hls labour to the best market. Ritspectively submitting these statements to your consideration, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your ebedieut servant, WILLIAM CONINGH &M. ItePirm Club, July Ist, 1852.

The greatly increasing,-population, the commerce, the pastoral, and agricultural richesAf the colonies of New South Wales and Vic toria, the great sucdess of, the banks already established in Sydney, Melbourne, andpeelong, together with the extraordinary yield ,of the gold mines of the.leedlonies, justly warrant the establishment of a New AiTgtralidn'Bank, with branches in such towns - as may appear expedient. It has therefore been propose&to form a - new-banking association, to be entitled the IloYal Australian Banking and . Gold Importing Company, to be incdrporated dider a Royal Charter. The capital is projosed to-be 250,000/., in 50,000 shares of 5/. each, on which a deposit df t 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`Shdrbholders, to be palled together for 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 • Lon 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, tauking by' discOunting ' bills, issuing, notes under the provisions granted by,Charter, in Jproportion to the paid-up capital, advancing money on •undoubted security, and also on consignmOft of gold ore and refined gold to the Company in London; and purchasing gold in the colonies of New, South Wales and Victoria, together with the traniection of such other .business as may be safely and legitimately conducted by a Mink. TO avoid losses by fraud,qr neglect of Oa; the • managers; and persons ap pointed by thelßank, will have to give competent•security in England. for their fidelity and good conduct in those colonies. A great part of the above capital being already subscribed, the Royal Charter has been appliedlor, 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 it. per share paid 40 the bankers. • The combined advantages*of banking and gold purchasing are evi dent. Firstly,—As a bank, an entirely,. new 11,1 d is preated by the im mense influx of population, which is, being continuously added to by the daily increasing em`gration 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 dimsal, involving a prop vionate increase of trading - operations and bankinr accommo - dation. The shares of the banks already established. in Australia are now at high premiums, in one instance (the Union Bankshares) 80 per cent. Secondly,—By the purchase of gold in those colonie s at about 645. per ounce, with a market value here ofabbuYntaBObsan, bank' profit is shown of nearly 25 per cent. ; and Iking quantity of the precious metal, this business wouldoo . a a p t p t e h a e r enormous quantity tion i! o m u i r limited, , bothwhile b the y th e recent wy o a c f 4 t i h t sties of Cape. a ow : : t4 ol u ll l ei a no r racfre s egH t . s e : a eep m nett - h, me ai ,pp k ro e orw t fit a i at n st jy t o e ono r ns - f Egypt, and shortly by way of Panama, _ the capital by enabling the Company . t° of gold daring the year.

We (the diggers) at Mount Alexander have sent down as much as a ton of fine gold weekly ; but of all circumstances, the selection of an Outfit is the most fortunate, that being made at E. MOSES and SON'S, whose thorough and practical acquaintance with the Emigrant's requirements fully qualifies them to make up the most complete, portable, and serviceable Outfits at a cost considerably lower than at any other establishment in the world." The superiority of E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits is evinced in every article; the distinction which has been conferred on every branch of their gieantfc trade is overwhelming, but the vast amount of their Outfitting transaction is still more amazing. To perpetuate their celebrity as Outfitters, they are re_olved that every Emigrant shall have the mot perfect attention, a seperate de partmentagnificent Estatdishment expressly article of perfect suitability shall be t h that p b u e rp in o g se_ kep a t ia in t e theirve every m provided—that the goods shall continue to be of a quality superior to any which can be offered elsewhere —that the most suitable and serviceable clothing shall be provided for 'all classes of Emigrants during their passage anti after their arrival—and. all their goods shall be offered on the Most economical terms, and that their supe riority in every respect shall continue the celebrity which E.

To -day this strange session will be over, w hours and in a few our 656 representatives will be released from the arduous and honourable office which the greater part of them so lately Won at much cost and trouble. They came ja in d : s f_ter a great settlement, sl . and at a time esttee it measly proclaimed that the reign of faction Was Ore.r; nor can it be, said that their period of power has been disturbed a either by any great domestic event or by any unusual and seettin sai struggle of parties; yet in four years months from their assembling; for business they are sent back to their constituents: So frail is the life of a ,Parliament, and so precarious the tenure of this much prilal position. The existence of this Parliament, however, brief as it has been, is considerably over the a u tr a e f ra pr g ra o )'3Wihui.Ch!2as prevailed since the passing of the l-rea"n, prescribing shorter Little then, does there seem for itself such seeds amits to that which contains within of decay. - ,But it is only when we the aisiclieegir legislation of difficulties and delays inseparable from a great empire and a complicated sta te of society, that we see the whole case a g a i ns t the demand for most "short reckonings" with our repre sentatives. The important questions must be di scu ssed for many years before they can attr ac t ev e n t h e notice of the Legislature . They must th en p ass t hrough an ordeal of annualmotions and petitions. At last they rouse debate, and form the subjects of prelimi nary investigation before which, Committees. They are then embodied in be de`eated,lcoh; ev .f en under Ministerial auspices, maY most , successful laarried measures may y ur f e a s il rein operation. The best and quire almost annual amendment,it requires no or dinary skill and research to track and the principles one by one adopted or r e j ected in a long series of abortive Bills and' imperfect Acts of P . arliarnent. Nor, can it be,over „._ looked that tile b ee Y - d whlge h hag to follow all these th rea d s of legislation from ay to day, and from Darns ua se s, ses sion, itself underg oes no inc onsiderable in chn ses g s e ionto last year alone , t hrou g h illne ss , death, and a otlee ' r n nine change s i n the re there were twenty . r e esentation, or whole at the rate of nea r a quarter o f the body in the course of .five years. These changes, too, all politicians and thmosaestabrele w hom we chiefly lo o k f or t h e movement member, embrace thole ardent s t a t e smen to and regulation of the Legislature. Our representatives may truly tell their constituents , hat this has been an eventful, a laborious, and a useful Parliament. The y might add, what is equally true, that there never was a Parliament which more illustrated the 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 e vents 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. Sc tar as regards mere m atters of history, its five years' exist .etice has been one of the most memorable periods in the 'annals, not only of this empire, but still more of Europe and of the whole w orld. It was summoned to Pe first ses sion n haste, while trade was slowly recovering teota a recent universal collapse, and while Ire land was suffering an unparalleled famine. Every circumstta ce of the crisis was e tra ordinary, colossi. and portentous. Commerce had Jo-. adjusted itself to an immense increase c f im ports, and domestic credit was breaking down under an extravagant =omit of railway enterprise. The Ba: k Restriction tiet bed just been suspended on the respon sibility of the slinisier. C rime, now predatory well as "agrarian," wa s rapidly increasing in Irel s ed t th e of the first votes of the new Parliament was 1,100,0001. fee the late Kafir war. On the continent were heard the storm. Pius IX. Wus at the murmurings of the c oming beck of a revolutionary committee. The Austrians had occupied the city of Ferraaa. A civil war raged is ttedersrlancl. Lombardy and Sicily were bath en the eve of revolt. Schleswig-Holstein already gave work to the diplomatists. There were ill-omened scandals ia the Court and Government of Louis Phillip e . T he new Parliament had scarcely met alter the Christnise recess when the volcano justified these warnings and all Europe was in afl me. cap ital af ter ca p ital f ell into the hands of the populace, and Government after. Government was revolutionized. All the existing bonds of empi re seeme d broken, and Italian , Sicilian, ra e.erman, 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 Lard 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 cumber 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 while Protectionists still talked about a drain ofgold, ' strange ne ws c ame from afar. C a lif orn i a which when this Pa r li ament me t was an almost unknown province of Mexico, disclosed its long hidden treasures. Australia has yellowed, and, though the amount of gold and silver now in the Bank is the largest ever accumulated by the hand of man, two i t is no more than the expected annual pro duce of thesenatural at Pacific, treasures. A new state has the been founded on and a new empire is strug gling into existence our antipodes. Meanwhile, the nightmare poverty of the miser no longer sits upon the industry of the old world;th and a Parliament under which has the Bank of England dreaded the drain of its last sovereign may this week see there 22,000,0001. of bul lion. Another fear now presents itself. What if our people should le av e us too rapidly? Of these wonders England, as well as the Legislature, has bee spectator ; bat i n ano th er event thecountryan a tlea P s a t ss h i a y s e some honour. Thanks to a noble-hearted Prince, and a small band of enlightened men, we had a festival of art such as the world has never seen. Among incidents not so agreeable, but adding, to the memorable character of the period, we have witnessed the establishment of a foreign hierar c hy with territorial ti t l es i n this island, with other attacks from the same quarter on the autho rity of the Legislature and the dignity of the Crown. 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 had 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. Bat, 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 oven a dominant party. Events have been met, and measures which have been for many years in the political laboratory, dropping from one 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 en a tolerably permanent basis. Thanks meinly to the surviving shadow of the League and Mr. Cohden's attractive idea of falling bock to the expendi ture of 1835, we hove hid searching Committees, tollowed by reductions in the Miscellaneous, the eArtny, Navy, and Oednance 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 for the purpose. The actual insolvency of a score or two unions has been met with a rate•in-sid from the rest. When the arch Re pealer was gone, and his position usurped by men who talked of vitriol and gingerbeer bottles, we m. 4 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 roof under which the evicted might lie down and die at the cost of the landlord. We met the cholera, when it came, with a Public Health Act, and with Acts fo r the re moval of nuisances and the management of the m` tropolit an sewers. We have met one qr two monstrous case s o f bribery and corruption by diarranchisi o g the freemen or the borough. The West Indies h a ve at la s t received their threatened coup' de grace by an Act for th e equali zation of the sugar duties. The n avi gation-laves, reall involved in the fate of the corn-laws, and actually suspended in 1846, as far es corn Was c t i earned, have fallen, in spi te Of a noisy defen o ce - though with hardly a blow. P erhaps it marks the , neral feebleness of the period , that the coastingtrade was excepted. In order to sweeten the measure to the shipowners ' we threw in an Act for th e regulation of the merchant service; and, in o r d er to sweeten that Act to the sailors, we added another for the extrication and better management of the Merch a nt Seamen's Fund. The Boards of Excise and Taxes h ave been consolidated, and the Crown lands and public parks and buildings put into different hands; both sou n d c ood dadminist ra ti ve improve ments. The Cape of hope, and most of our other colonies, having all steadily refused oar convicts, we have met the difficulty with public works on our Own coasts and with mo ult _pri3oll9. The Australian :co lonies and New z, a i and have demanded self-gover n ment, and we e "VO met the demand after a fashion of our own. The Canadian Government required an prial aid in the s-tt!enicint of a certain awkward que , ;,tion, and wigdom we rendered it with more roan glory i n the Rebellion Losses Act.

To • this day nothing has been done, and, excepting a certain wholesome dread of large dividends, derived from bitter experience, there is little now to prevent dividends being paid out of,capital, as in the palmy days of Hudson and Waddington. Another material question was forced upon Parliament by the cholera, during the ravages of which at .one time there were deposited round our habi tations, and in grounds already teeming with corruption, three thousand bodies a-week. The Legislature met the evil by permitting some volunteers to bring in a measure, by requiring that its administration should be left to a Board already overworked, by leaving it without pecu niary means, and by suffering it to become wholly in operative. The place of that Bill has now been supplied by another of a less daring character, the success of which has yet to be seen. Some other questions of the same sort have been left in the same unsatisfactory state. But this Parliament 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 Act, 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 cur 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 new scale of stamp duties is certainly the work of this Par liament, but of what section or statesmen in it cannot be se easily stated. Alpine - 4ln) It t eget t altifornee of this Parlia ment will procure it fisting - and honourable 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 loudly in their favour; at, the powerful instigation of Mr. Jacob Omnium, it has abolished the Palace Court; it has made that alteration in the law of evidence which enabled Dr. Achilli to oppose his single testimony to that of a host of witnesses; it has relieved the Court of Chancery by the appointment of two Lords Justicas; it has abolished the office of Masters in Chancery; and has ration of Law t made variet; other exteueive reforms in the adminis . alone, can show , In these, time into the shade the and EtlaitY, the true value of which reforms, a, perverse f appropriated. as in some other fate has spared the work, but throten meritorious authors; and the closing honours of this hardly be Parliament , such as they are, can of long Whig ineubationSome measures, the results maturity by Lord John tßuasuscill tenderly -watched to into the world by his oppenenetz: have been ushered put it into their power to y, t in as he has hastily position. The Irish franchise ltis ref ormed beenste s op rating qualification, end though an adverse n b o y a of Lords modified the measure, it will douhtlues4es increase the weight of the people in tie ensuing election. If, as we have intimated, this Parliament has been t oe much occupied with meeting emergencies to ventu re on any original path of legislation, that will not rot, it of all merit. The Papal Aggressions provoked the .Act against the Assumption of Ecclesiastical Titles. To the possibility of a more material aggression we owe a 110 w Militia Act. Earlier in this Parliament the reviving animosities of Irish zealots compelled a new Act agahnst religious processions. The glaring scandal of a vest Crown property that, so far from yielding an inceene, was an expense to the nation, haft compelled the eratlo sure of Ilainault and the New Forest, and the better management of all the Crown lands. The crowding of our towns necessiteted the supervision of common ledg irg•houses, and the crowding of our emigrant thips fresh rules for the safety of passengers. It will pessi Lly be remembered for some years that we owe to this Par liament what is to be Battersea Park, and the tram ela tion of Smithfield -market to Copenhagen-fields ; the latter change at least not before it was waneed. 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 nerform as we have learnt from 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. 3tt is cue short lustrum since the mandate went forth to re turn the now expiring Parliament; and the most saga cious statesman in the world could not possibly have foreseen any one of the extraordinary events which liave 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 yet trs ; if the Government which existed the greater part of lthat time inherited its best measures or bequeathed them to its successors ; if legislation has been unduly limited to meeting emergencies, to abating nuisances, to resisting aggressions, or providing against attack; if, after all, there is little to show for the concentrated energies of confessedly great states men and an industrious Legislature at a great epoch, it is partly owing to the greatness of the eve tits and the peremptory nature of the exigencies during these five years. That Conservative element which procured for the Whigs a certain degree of support horn 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 autumn of 1847 had not emerged, and never did entirely emerge, from the 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 minority pressed them several times very near , ars 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 o f their friends they co uld not go far enough, while a still larger cla.ss were never very enthusiastic in the defence of that Free Trade by which they conceived their own fortunes to have been impaired. Thus an unfriendly hi s tori an might describe the late Whig Administration as o ne series of damaging defeats. The Whrg Minister t r i e d every session some new device for the introduction of the Jews into Parliament, beginning with a direct mea cure, and ending with a Reform Bill, but with the same Lords ignored invariable ill success in the Upper House. One of the first acts of this Parliament was that for the esttehlish meet of diplomatic relations with Rome, for which L ord J. Russell had o s t en t a tiously prepared by se nding his own uncle to the Pope. The House of the ecclesiastical character of that potentate, a n d on the that motion of the present Irish Viceroy , insisted his ambassador should be a layman. The first s ession of this Parliament summarily refused to rais e the income tax from three to five per cent., even to millions of now debt incurred through the pay off the tea It refused a Secret Committee on the Irish famine. expenditure.

ASSAY OFFICE AND MINT IN NEW SOUTH WALES.

That with reference to the establishment of an assay htchvoetiegbahenedne.very difficult inquiry office your committee are of opinion that, although the expense would, in all probability, not be large, such en institution would (of itself) be of very little, if any, value to the colony. Your committee, therefore, report, th a t i t i s not de sirablefoay r n your g loantioeunranbpieenCouncil, thematter, feeling at p resent, to un dertake per suaded, that the natural requirements and o p erat i ons of trade will, within a compa r atively short Period regulate the supply and demand of coin for the exigencies and security of commerce, and remove any apparent anomie lies which during the first few months of the intense ex citement of the gold discovery and its wonderful deve lopment have affected the rates of exchange on Eng land, or apparently lowered the price 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 un assayed gold, or gold in tr s'or ingothohight be eIL changed ter the current gold coin of the realm, on pay meat 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 Landon. Your committee have, during the course of this inquire, obtained much valuable evidence from several gentlemen well acquainted with baukieg and other mercantile operations; and your com mittee have 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 loag such bills will have a tendency to go still lower, but finally depending on the rate of interest and the expense of trunit. When this discovery of gold was first made, the ex perts of the colony t xceeded the imports; nod a compa rison between the imports and the population of the coluny showed the consumption to be so large that even Without the aid of the gold, the same relation between the exports and • imports was likely to be maintained. The e xports trebl ed ; andare now sudd en ly doebled, and will soon be must elapse bet Y o e o e u r committee think that many years increase of business and po pulation—the inaporta3.-etihne with the exForts; . nd s that h . e ci brought up to an equality rate of exchange will contiatiourit4 be euc h u . interval, the highly unfavour able to the producer it the present system of dealing with the gold as on exportable merchandise only is maintained. Toe instruction to your committee was to inquire into, and report upon, the expediency of establishing an essay office or mint; but it has been suggested in the ceueee of the evidence taken by your Committee, th at a Government Bank of Issue might with advantage be established, ahich should be made by law the reci- Vent of all the raw gold, and should issue its paper in exchange fur 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 in e 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 by the Government on which this com mittee are not instructed to report, that they refrain from expressing any opinion on the proposed bank. Toero 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, and that it should be looked upon as an article of 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 spot, 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 p r osperity of her subjects, to afford the greatest facility for the conversion of the precious metals into coin of the realm; and that this power of the Crown may now be wisely exercised by the establishment of a mint in Syd ney for the common advantage of all the Australian co lonies. Your committee believe that this general duty of the Sovereign will not be questioned, and that the difficulty in applying the rale to this colony, which arises from the want of an exact precedent, suggests its Own solu tion, namely, that no such opportunity or necessity for the exertion of this prerogative has ever yet • risen in the history of Great Britain, whose subjects now , ,for the first time, in one of her most remote dependencies, are the producers of a vast amount of the most precious Your committee are informed that the two processes oftranrcsi;titeligeand assaying are conducted by distinct o he melted an ee d e c e a l e e t se in d t e o el b te a g rs w o it r h ingots, mass which is to a small portion of such ingot, ge ts ll9ll7l d ly theabout o other with grains. The minuteness of the portion dealt with by the azsayer 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 shilling only is charged; and it is obvious that each as say may determine the fineness of an indefinite amount of bullion. Very little delay is incurred in melting and assaying, and your committee see no room to doubt that persons of sufficient integrity and competency could be readily obtained in this colony to perform such duties in a satiefectory manner, so as to lea v e no reasonable ap prehension of the accuracy o f their investi g ation, or the fidelity of their reports. Your committee, however, aloneth i lik b t h e a n t 1. , the sufficientnitin melting valueand to theassayingpublic j ustify of gold would not to which the same result can now be had at trifling cost; and that the mere ascertaining of the value of raw gold, ing.rhserodeitocs; e o l f as t t h ly e tsoocvoenresiidgenr ttoheaffexorpdedtioentheye as of any other merchainndcio.ene,:xeioyenopmwrpoinpthteirtailnyrn:bfieninlgeltantdo the operation of private skill and of assay s Y : F c : ffit) committee ieiseh. inferred precious F i renm z cba t e s d f o n n et th i e t g m en a e y ral fa revenue in o f f e ' so fully recognised that the Mint, subject the greatest me tals into coin, is facility for conv er ti ng t h e is London , cou ntry. of the best t hat, in the opinion . authorities , the -con version of the precious metals, for private holders, • to coin, is in so useful to the public, that it may be prop-r . d eat the public experse. .ly OS .
