For tie time of sear the arrivals of Beasts from our own Razing districts were very extensive, though they ex libited a falling-off compared with those of last week. ''.,`he general quality of this description of stock was ex .' teediugle good. Although the at'enefitnee of both town end country buyers was tolerably extensive, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at barely the Late decline in the quotations. A few superior Scots, under -100 stones, sold at 3s 4d; but the more general top figure for Beef did not exceed 3s 2d per 81bs., and a total .:11earance was not effected. The supplies from Norfolk, Suffolk, Es-et, and Cambridgeshire, amounted to 2,600 Scots, Homebreds, anti Short-horns ; from Ether parts of England 800 Herefords, Rents, De- Scots, ._ &e. ; and from Scotland 564 Corned and Felled Scots, principally p er ra i lway. We were again heavily supplied with Sheep. in excel -lent condition, • Even the primvst DoMns met a very dull inquiry at prices barely t (pal to t h se obtained on this day se'nnight, the extreme figure, in the wool being 4s 2d per 81ns. At least five -eights of the Sheep were . • shorn. From the Isle of Wight only 150 Lambs came ' fresh to hand, but the supply frem other quarters was extensive. The Lamb trade was heavy, at barely Fri day's prices, which ruled from 4,4 d to 5. 4d per 81bs. We had a steady, though by no means brivk sale tor Calves, at unaltered quotations. Toe Pork trade was very dull; in prices, however, no change took place. - 'The.continuous large supplies brought forward here are chiefly attributed to the want of pasture food in all parts of I aglancl, and it is pretty eeuerally thought, that during the month of June, should we be favoured with - fine growing weather, stuck wilt bt much dearer than at present. s. d. to s. d Ulterior Mee, • • . 2 6 2 8 Second quai.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA.

Mr. Chandler, the delegate, from New Brunswick has arrived in this coun try, andyour old acquaintance the Hun. Mr. Howe, from Nova Scotia, may be expected in a few days, as -ho is now on his way here on board the Canada steam-mei/- packet, due on the 26th inst., and thus, since the Hon. Mr. Illecks has been for some time past in England( the present Colonial S cretary will have the advantage ef a personal communication with the three leading and highly-gift, d men of, in my humble opinion, the three most important colonies of Greet Britain. Fortunately for us, for Sir John Pekimaton, and for thestegsntlemen, the delegates on North Ainericen Heil waye, we have now at the head of the affairs of this mighty empire a high-minded nobleman, who has not only had the experience of a Colonial Minister, having held that responsible office himself, but who, moreover, has had the talent to discover, cud ; the wisdom to proclaim in his place in the House of Peers, the great value to this country of the. whole of our North American pessessions—and sure amltli,i_e that your ni,) correspondent, "much interested in the Colonies "—nerd have any appretiensien that "a British Parliament" will be asked even to'' suffer the right and property of a c,:tep any to be trifled with, who nave subscribed their caps-alonthe faiththf,m them." As certain reg r a d d s v t a h n ,. ta v g a e r s i e a r n y d of privileges l es o being ceded o which your correspond/ea alludes, that have been-sub mitted to the local arid Imperial Legislatures, to the in jury of the St. Andrew and Quebec line, I will not at. .enapt, to roam your time, nor intrude upon your space try entering into any detail or explanations of them—the more so, as I am - not the least inclined to dispute these points, and am spate ready to concede to that company the merit of oeing the first in the field in active railway matters, and of having nobly dared to go to work, whilst others only talked. I am also quite willing to admit that the New Brunswick Company deserve every eneourtieement as a nold local body, employed in cletitable iota! measures— that it is in the power of of our Government, with jus- (ice to other colonies, to confer upon it—but having said so much, I regret. I cannot go further in any agreement with your correspondent; all other matters I must hold open to discussion. And first I will refer to his remarks concerning myself'. Your correspondent says that I affect not to be aware of the existence of an under taking, &c., &c , &c.„ now in actual progress." Now two of the paragraphs to which I allude was intenoed as an advertisement in favour of the company, calling itself the St. Andrew and Quebec Railway Com pany. in my opinion merely un nom de guerre. The joke might perhaps be excusable, but it' a wilful misconcep tion of my letter has been assumed to insert an adver tisement without [Dement, or for any other improper purpose, such conduct is surely unworthy of any - spectable party. lam quite unaware of any affectation oe my part either of knowledge or of ignorance, nor am I aware of any part of my letter from which your cor respondent can have drawn his inference. That a com pany existed culling itself the St. Andrew and Quebec Railway Company I was quite aware, and I happened to return from North Amities with Captain Robiuson, son-in-law to Admiral Owen, who y our correspon dent is aware, I dare say, are both much interested in its success; but I was not aware, nor am I now aware, that beyond the province of New Brun, wick this company had any authority, any land, er arty Acts, eith.r of the local or Imperial Legislature in their tavour—at d, I rather guess, as our brother Jerathan would say, they have none ; on the contrary I always understood that the chief object of the railway was to tap the rive r St. John; near Woodstock, and thus carry away from its rival, the town of that name, the trade which now flows into it, to the town of their patron, St. Andrew. Nor was I ever aware, nor has your cur- - respondent convinced me, that this company would connect by a " trunk lice" the " whole of British North America," seeing that St. Andrew's is quite our of the lint s from Halifax to Quebec, and never having heard that Halifax and Sr. Andrew's—or more properly I should say Nova Scotia and New Brunswick—had even ever communicated with each other on such a pro ject. A trunk line, indeed, from Hali'ax to the United States sea ports might pass through Sr. Andrew's, but no emperical trunk line to connect the British provinces ought ever to take that most roundabout route. The telly advantage that I can see the St. Andrew's and Quebec line could give the provinces would be to connect th'in, if they wishea, with the Bay of Fundey—some would say a very questionable good ; however, Sir, as the Hououraule, and what is better, the highly talented Mr. Chandler is here, as well as the other delegates, no doubt that justice will be dune to all parties, and I hope also to the mother country, The colonies all have my b, at wishes, not merely on their own account, but on ours, and I trust, wi . h your cc,tres poedent, that ail local petty jealousies will be laid aside," even those of the " St. Andrew and Quebec Railway Company," and that they will not consider the comple tion 0 , their undertaking " essential to the interests of the colonies, and their permanent connexion with the British Crown," bet allow that other lines may be of equal, it not greater, colonial and Imperial importance.

Opera. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mind Your Own Business, a comedy, by Mr. Mark Lemon, was produced on Saturday evening with brilliant Success. Toe real hero of the play is not the meddling gentleman, Mr. Oddiman ' who embr o il s himself in other people's affairs, but Mr. Verdun, a young country squire, who is nearly ruined by an unfortunate passion, and whose fortunes are gradually set forth in the progress of the drama. In the first act we find him full of health and spirits, glowing with love for Marian, daughter of the village school master, Merrison; and offering her his hand, with the full assurance of being accepted. The needy father is, 'Of course, delighted with the offer, the elder daughter, Fanny, mildly-approves, but there is a hitch on the part of the most important personage, Marian herself, who has secretly bestowed her affections on Arthur Mowbray, a young artist. Wren the fatal truth is revealed, and Verdon's dream of happiness is dispelled, he rushes in despair from Morrison 's house, -and- the loVers are left to be as happy as they may. Somethinr like a twelvemonth elapses before the corn• mencement of the second act, Mowbray has married Marian, and the drop scene rises amid the sound of village rejoicing, consequent on tte christening of their first child. Mowbray is tolerably happy, but as he is highly connected, and has been used to luxu ries, the humble mcde of life which he leads with his wile and her father is, not altogether to his taste. In the meanwhile, Vernon- has betaken himself to London, where, on the strength of his disappoint ment, he devotes himself with such energy to the bottle as to acquire the name of "Drunken Verdon." Fenny Merrison, to contribute to the comforts of her family at home, has engaged herself as companion to Mrs. Smythe, a London lady, at whose house she perceives Verdon, and is greatly shocked at his changed condition.. Resolved to save him, she visits bith at his > lodgings, and while he is drowsing thought with a bowl of punch, occasionally calling up reminiscences- of his rural amusements, she suddenly appears before him, and so far in fluences him by hertnild persuasion that he resolves to return to the country and lead a better life. At the same time, poor Fanny has troubles of her own. Mrs. Smythe, who, being married to aci devant f o otman, is not received into unexceptionable society, opens her house to rather doubtful company, and Fanny is exposed to the insulting addresses of Mr. Orgrave, a libertine Member of Parliament. Quitting Mrs Scoythet house,she resolves on returning to the country, hut is pursued by Orgrave, and being oven taken by him at a road side inn, is only saved from his clutches by the sudden appearance of Verdon, who happens to have taken up his lodgings there on his way home. When she reaches her father's house she is received with delight; Verdon discovers that he loves her as well as he thought he loved Marian, and takes her for a wife, and Orgrave, the " bad man " of the piece, is knocked down by a thunderbolt in the shape of an old deed, which transfers all his property to his cou sin Mowbray, the husband of Marian. Not withstanding a degree of complexity in the plot, the piece riveted the attention of the audience throughout, and will take its place on the stage as a sterling and attractive comedy. Mr. Webster's per sonation of Verdon is one of the most marked tri umphs of that artistic comedian—in fact, he never acted better. Mr. Buckstone is most humorous as this " busy-body," and as Smythe, the exalted "Jeames," Mr. Keeley is transcendently delicious. Mr.:Leigh Murray sustained the cool villain, Orgrave, to perfection, and Mr. Howe, as Mowbray, is manly and correct, whilst Mr. Rogers, in the minor part of Weazle, merits especial notice for his careful intelli gence.

MADE - Moisr.LLE WAGNER. Mademoiselle J c h anna W a g ne r, who arrived in Lon don with ber father, Alb er t W a gner, in the course of the p st week, is the niece of the Chapel Master of Dresden, Richard Wagner, whom Listz has recently made known to the world' as beihg, in his opinion, the greatest composer of the present day. In her early life, ne r i.,arents having a pruteesiunal engagement at the theatre.at W tuzburg, in Bavaria, Johanua's place of residence was in that town, Whilst here she was at times east as the representative of the good spirit in fairy spectacles, in each of which, especially as she advanced in age, she is said to have displayed declamatory powers of no common order, and the result was that, at fifteen years of age, she was selected to sustain the character of Abigail, in Le Verre cr,Eau ' which was produced at the 13ellendstadt Th e atr e . She then essayed, with undisputed success, in Esmeralda, as Preciosa, and as Cordelia iii King . . Lear. lt was about this period the parents of the *youthful Johanna discovered that she possessed a beautiful voce ; where upon they, being professors of the vocal art, " got her up" in the Page in Meyerbeer's• Huguenots. From this mum nt a portiOn of each day - was devoted to the study and practice of vocalization and music generally, the effect of which was, that after a few months there was an almost 'daily' perceptible advancement in the art, until, at length, she made her e4bzit in the part of Cate rin:e in Ha'evy's Reine de Chypre. The success which this performance achieved led aldile. Wagner to trans'er her principal studies from the legitimate drama to opera. Upon this ber utele Richard expressed a wish that she should pay a visit to Dresden; but before she complied with that wish she accompanied her father to Paris, where she remained under the instruction of Manuel Garcia for six months. It will he in the recollection of many of our re aderi that - Manuel Garcia is the brother of the lamented Malibran and of Viardor, and, further, that Jenny _Lied was one of his pupils. From Paris Johanna, with ber father, proceeded to Dresden, where she received an engagement for five years, and succeeded Mdme. Scihrbeder .Devrient. She first made an im pression on the minds of her hearers in the charace r of Agatha of Weber,_ then in Beethoven's Fidelio, and afterwards in various other parts. From Dresden she went to Hamburgh, in consequence of the poli tical strife which the- former place became the scene. Here it was 'that she undertook the arduous character of Fides, in the Prophete, and it was her powerful delineation of this opera which caused her re. putation to spread , frOm one end of Germany to the other. Subsequently to this Mdlle. Wagner held engage ments at Berun and .Vienna - and it was in the former direr that she succeeded Viardot in Fides. The great trbiumphs she achieved resulted in her being engaged at et thanoue n B , l d i n hithertoh etr Theatre f e e , r n ten : yearsgiven to anyupon p r i f m a a r hi donnaghe eterms t Wagner treesbsent herself-- y ee eamr.d r i : .l,l - .enw P c e ea r e m hi ; e s r si p o r n e , ,se l . s n o t w v e i v s e i r t , to w E a . s og re la s n er d v . ed to Mdlle. - varied repertoire Wai ner Gluck. bpontini,for six months during each brings wi , le her to this country a eser, it is said, equally powerful in Weber, Meyerbeer, Bellini, and Mozart. personal appearance Mdlle.

Yesterday morning the claims which this association has upon the public for support were very ably advocated in a sermon preacbed at St. Thomas's Church, Bream's buildings, Chancery-lane, by the Rev. J. Redwar, the in cumbent. The text was taken from Jeremiah, 15th chap., 16th verse, " Thy words were found and I did eat them, and thy word was unto me the joy and re joicing of mine heart." The reverend minister, in ex pounding the text, described the Holy Scriptures as the great messenger of love and mercy, and said that all should labour to make their families, children, and ser vants acquainted with the Word of God. The congre gation present could doubtless all read as well as possess the sacred book. Theirs was no class Bible—no locked book, but to many it was a locked—a sealed book. The Scripture reader, however, had gone forth with the Bible in his hand, reading the Vs ord of God at their own fire-side, by which the most encouraging results . had been produced. This good work bad been going on in this and many other parishes for upwards of seven years. The readers were now 116 in number, deriving theirincome solely from ,the funds of the Church or England Scripture Readers' Association, and which iunds had become so inadequate to meet the expendi ture that the association:, though reluctant, contemplated withdrawing some of the readers. To prevent this be would urge the congregation as a Christian duty to con tribute liberally. From the circulars placed in the church, it appeared that the eighth annual meeting of the association will be held on Tuesday next he 27th inst.), at the Hanover square Rooms, under the presidency of the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, when the chief recommendation will be that a strenuous exertion should be immediately made to raise 2,0001. The Reverend Gentleman's eloquent discourse pro duced a very liberal collection at the doors. _ " WRITE SOON !" (From Eliza Cook's Journal) Long parting from the hearts we love Will shadow o'er the brightest face; And happy they who part, and prove Affection changes not with place. A sad farewell is warmly deer, But something dearer may be found To dwell on lips that are siLcere, And lurk in bosoms closely bound. The pressing band, the steadfast eye. Are both less earnest than the boon Which, fervently, the last fond sigh Begs in the hopeful words, " Weite soon!" " Write soon!" ob, sweet request of Truth! How tenderly its accents cant We heard it firbt in early youth, When mothers watched u s leaving home. And still amid the trumpet-joys, That weary us with pomp and show, We turom ll the brassy noise To hear this a nzinore cadence flJtv. We part, but carry on our way Some loved•one's plaintive spirit-tune, That, as we wander, seems to say, "Affection lives on Faith,—W rite soon!" ELizA. COOK. Ma. Frauous O'CoNNoa.—Mr.Feargus O'Connor arrived at Liverpool on Friday night from London, and put up at the Queen's Hotel. Oa Saturday morning at an early hour he left his hotel and proceeded on board the Royal Mail steam ship Europa, which sailed about one o'clock for the United States. The ob j ect of Mr. Feargus Connor's fli ht to America is, it is said, to avoid the commission of lunacy which has been issued against him.

(CONTINUUD ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.) Sir,—On Wedacedey the 21st, the House was oc cupied by a debate of three hours on salmon. It appeared to end in nothing, but an asseveration from both sides of the [louse, that salmon do not "with draw before civilization." I cannet help holding the contrary of this to be as certain, as that trout have withdrawn from the waters at Sun Bridge. It is understood to be admitted, that within the memory of men now living, there were trout in that troubled stream ; a fact which it is possible the modern gene ration of Bradford may be inclined to view as an at tempted imposition on their credulity. The self same kind of reasons which have removed trout from disporting in the centre of your market-place, will operate to cut off the harvest of salmon to be expected in the Irish rivers. To sewage, gas-water, and the refuse of manufactories, which may be considered as common to both localities, may be added in the case of Ireland the disturbance of steam-boats. There is no sa 3 ing how this may affect the nerves of a salmon. He is clearly a creature in a high degree possessed of the organ of love of country ; for though he lives in the water, he is not content without returning to the nook where he was born. His f.-clings thereiore on finding his native nook disturbed by the splashings of steam-paddlee, may be of the acutest order. It affects even eels, who are scarcely fish at all, but bor der upon serpents; much more then salmon, who ere the royalty of fish. But there is a mere fearful cause than any of these. There is the number the Irish intend to be eaten. It is io be feared they de sire to eat their salmon and have their salmon; which is proverbially impossible._ It would be a curious question to determine, upon knowledge of all the habits of the population of salmon, what is the maxi mum of fish of valuable size, it would be possible to cook annually and keep up the nu m b ers, on the supposition that there was as perfect a control over all the processes of destruction as a hen-wife pos sesses in her poultry-yard. But as it is certain this perfect control cannot be had, it may be held to be certain that this maximum will not be maintained, and that salmon will diminish before the advance of civilization as kangaroos do, in spite of all that both sides of the House of Commons can do to prevent it. On Thursday the Taxes on Paper, Advertisements, and Newspaper Stamps, were brought forward in what might be called an exbeustive speech, by the Member for Manchester (Mr. Milner Gibson). The reply of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was based entirely on taking advantage of the false moves of those who appear as attornies for the people. His reply was virtually this, " You bring heavy com plaints against the effect of certain descriptions of indirect taxation. There are probably no others of which you would not as heavily complain, if the question was of removing them. But if'indirect taxation is to be removed, the amount must be laid on direct taxation. Now do you of the popular party understand your own minds upon the subject of direct taxation ? Have you determined, for instance, whether direct taxation ought to stop at certain classes, or be imposed on all ? And have you settled whether the possessor of a temporary income is fairly taxed by taxing him temporarily or whether he is not ? Till you know your own minds on points like these, how can you expect me to make alterations in taxation ? I will do nothing of the sort, but hold on pertinaciously to what I have." There is no denying that this is ably and effectively taking advantage of the blunders of adverse coun sellors. While these leaders cannot find out, that the tact of being outrageously overcharged on the indirect taxes, is a reason why the poorer portion of the in dustrious classes should claim to be exempted from the direct, they must be in the position of an attor ney who could not discover that his client's having a bill against the guardians of the poor, should be a reason why he should have a set-off against the gene ral poor's rate. " 0 but," this attorney is expected to say, "how unjust it would be if all did not pay alike !" Not, it would be replied, if the fact is that the lower incomes have been paying at ten or eleven times the rate of the rest on another account. Now this is what your attorneys cannot see ; so I recom mend your trying another firm. The mistake, too, of not discerning that the tem porary incomes being taxed temporarily is to the uttermost farthing in exact proportion to their value, is equally fatal to the clients concerned. As long as these mistakes go on, an adverse Chancellor of the Exchequer must be denuded of genius, who cannot make them the grounds for blowing your cause out of the water as often as he likes. It is written above, that till men manage their affairs right, they shall go wrong ; the worse fortune for the users of print and paper, on whom the experiment is destined to be made. On Friday the Militia Bill was debated, with little result except a tedious debate and an adjournment till Monday. Tne leader of the late Administration declared his intention of voting for its being read this day three months. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. Blackheath, 26th April, 1852.

By the Bank Return of April 10th, it appears that the omit of Bullion in both departztents of the Bank was 19,245,2991., being a decrease t.f . 351,2021. This circumstance is thus referred to in the City article of the Times:— " The amount of coin taken for shipment to Australis during the past fortnight has been very large, consequent upon the intellig ence t h a t the price of gold-dust had fallen to 575. per ounce at Melbourne, and to 60s. per ounce at Sydney. This circumstance, coupled .with the payment of the dividends, has led to a considershle de crease in the Bank bullion, which shows itself this week to the extent of 351,2022, and which will also probably affect the next return." Our readers who have heard of the absurdity of "rending coals to Newcastle," may perhaps at the first sight of this be surprised at hearing of gold being just now sent to Australia. But a little consideration will show why sovereigns coined at the rare of 31. 17s. 100. an ounce, are sent out to a ceuntry where gold is selling, we are told, at from 57a. to COs. an ounce. A sovereign in England, and in all our foreign dependencies, and in deed throughout the commercial world, has an artifi cial value given to it. Gold-dust is at its neared value at Melbourne and Sydney. In consequence of the increase in the quantity discovered, and therefore in the supply, the price has declined. But a coinea ounce of gold retains its artificial price : •it is legal tender for a debt o f 31. 17 s . l O id . Th e digger will, therefore, exchange his e3old, dust for a bit of gold of considerably less intrinsic value, because that which be obtains is not only gold but money. He will be equally ready to part with the " precious metal" far a bit of paper of no intrinsic value whatever, be cause he knows that such paper has an accredited value, and is convertible into food, raiment, lodging, and the necessaries and comforts of life, with the greatest facility. Thus we read of the banks in Melbourne and Sydney sending notes up to the dig gers to purchase gold dust. It would have been well for mankind—well for this country of England --if that very intelligible idea which the acumen of Bishop Berkeley enunciated long ago, when he asked " whether the true idea of money, as such, be not altogether that of a ticket or counter ?" had, taken possession of the national intellect. Gold mines, copper mines, or silver mines would, without doubt, on their discovery, increase the trading capital of Australia and promote its wealth. Bat can we fail to see that if the " ticket or counter " be formed of paper, or some valueless commodity, the wh a ticketle a r o t o f i r c t c e h o i o u s f u n t c e e o r w m! ym is r e i d r e i c: e c u , r a i e r n d g a r g ' p e g t al e function of money i n t h e , t ra r a a d y e, b e w °bpi plied e a ' s ' P cßo>euarlsteh requireand po p m u o a r t e i o ti f c k A e t u s s t and a n l d i a c colony io A nuc n nr d teearss: ag ain , e as rile , who can i nsure s t t . wi ca rry on their trade, and exchange B ut if they retain gold counters , the increase of gold in proportionate quan tities ? But you may insure the increase of a paper circulation to the exact amount adequate to the requirements of the country. Now what (let us say it with due respect to the national intellect)—" what is sauce for the Aus tralian goose, is sauce for the British gander." Let us hope that these gold discoveries, which Providence in commiseration of man's ignorant end infatuated worship of the " precious metals " has brought about, will open our e 3 es to the true use and value of silver and of gold. Useful and pleasant they are as articles for man's service, end, as the Jews applied them, for "tinkling ornaments" for the young and fair. But as Locke said, " gold is not fit to be a nation's money." It is not the money of commerce, of progress, of civilised man. It bad had its day. Let us turn to a monetary system adapted to the days in which we live. A representative money system, based on sound philosophy, approved by science, and carrying with it elements conducive to the prosperity of millions of the working classes, and to the moral development of the nation's greatness.—Derbyshire Courier. THE CURRENCY. TO THE EDITOR OE THE " DERBYSHIRE COURIER." Chesterfield, April 22, 1852. Sir,—As your valuable journal has so long taken the first rank, and with so much talent and assiduity, as an advocate for a change in the currency-laws of this kingdom, I beg to enclose an appeal made to both Houses of Parliament by the father of the late la mented Premier, Sir Robert Peel. The argum en t appears to b e so pl a i n an d so conv i nc i ng , it may, perhap s , induce your numerous readers to turn their attention more generally to the subject, which ap pears to be of such paramount importance to the pros perity of the country at large. I remain, Sir, yours truly, Nolo, KR ROBERT PEEL. TO THE MEMBERS OP BOTH HOUSES OE PARLIAMENT. My Lords and Gentlemen,—Will you permit an old man to address you on the subject of our currency? I sat in Parliament thirty years, during which time I fre quently heard this important question discussed in the House by Mr. Pitt, Mr. Fox, and other distin guished characters. On the passing of the Bank Re striction Act, I was entrusted by the merchants and citizens of London, to present their petition against the measure. Though my opinions were embodied in their case, my best endeavours to serve them were not suc cessful. Having been long and extensively engaged in commercial dealings, I often witnessed a national em barrassment arising from a defective and impure cur rency, which resembled the present stagnation in trade; and I lament to observe, that suffering and experience have failed, in this instance, of producing their usual good effects. In the enlarged scale of business, carried on by this country, embracing a great variety of pur suits, a reliance on a metallic circulation alone ever did, and ever will, fail us. Gold, though in itself massy, often disappears in consequence of war, or speculation; nay, the breath of rumour itself is sufficient to disperse it. Our domestic concerns are interrupted and confi dence lost, for want of an ample and approved medium of traffic. I am no friend to an unrestrained issue of paper money, and saw with concern, in the absence of a due quantity of specie, b lls admitted into circulation issued by persons of respectability, possessing property, but evidently unable to meet a sudden and large demand upon them. More than two years ago I mentioned to a friend high in his Majesty's councils my fears of the mischief likely to ensue if the practice were not discon tinned; accompanied with a sugg estion to conline future f o u f nds ? canals, buildi ngs, or men, who would gi ve m issues of paper money, or token s, to the B ank of England at least, to one ande uri other ty in l competent snd th e public e s hotheral half o f t h e tangiblevalue property i r; billsam oour t n tinogk'ens in cir cu l at i on. My proposition was not favoured with any notice, yet had it been adopted lam of opinion that most of the improvement in the gold would w p a nic and distress now so severely felt in th e nat i on would w ld ith be s have been avoided. If such an banking system could be made available, SuppliedgO com e less requisite, and the count ry b e s t a tionary medium of exchange originating with our selve Whilst directing the energies of the State in war, Mr. Pitt evinced equal ability in discovering, improving, and applying our internal resour ces . Th e tinemie s war d country of its sp ec i e , and ou entertained r a i ne d s t s li n e a. guine hopes that our ruin would sooner be eff e cted bywant of pecuni ary means th an the want o f courage , dis cipline,our armies. M r . Pi t t was mo re than a match f or all cont ingencies. With the aid of the Bank of England and other opulent houses, the energies of Great Britain were maintained in full activity, and the importa nce an d established. In utility of paper mo ne y we r e clearly Ingenious machines were introduced into our manufactures , and the encouragem e nt and protec tion afforded them greatly increased the d ema nd for our goods at hom e and abroad . Our superiority at sea gave our merchants easy access to foreign markets, and the wealth derived frotn trade and commerce (though to some persons it may appear paradoxical) more than co vered the whole expenses of the war. When the Mi nister had recourse to loans, they were speedily raised by British capitalists, and the increase of the public debt was due from ourselves to ourselves, and resolved itself into a family account without impairing the national property. Mr. Pitt having succeeded in securing peat* and independence to the empire, whilst devoting his sole attention to the affairs of the public, suffered his own to be very much embarrassed. Many of his friends wished to extricate him from his difficulties, and requested me to learn from Mr. Rose in what way he could best re lieve him. His reply was, " Mr. Pitt is the most unao• countable of human beings, and will prefer living in a garret to being indebted to the bounty of his friends." Though disappointed, the opinion I had long enter tained of this able Minister's high character was not diminished. The present panic and distress in the country have been declared by high authority to proceed from " over trading," and " will speculation." Infant nations and establishments are liable to miscarry from want of ex" perience and solidity. land Trading and speculation being natives of th is is _. and parents of our wealth and independence, are 1411 4 g, exempt from such an imputation. The same el n b o u om . has declared that " gold and paper money arer.'' patible with each other, and cannot exist tost ving Dees The population and trade of the empi re in the m much increased, a proportionate i nur ease eld _ l3 i mediafoof circulation is called for; a nd when g aper; which, 'if sufficient, recourse must be mad e t o s d u p ggested, the two improved on the principle alrea i substances would be found in the same pocket without disunion.
