In order to give the most immediate effect to the intentions of the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury, the Comptroller-Ge neral requests that the HOLDERS of EXCHEQUER BILLS brought for EXAMINATION shall PRODUCE at the EXCHEQUER BILL PAY-OFFICE, with their BILLS, a DOCKET, on which shall be d;stinctly stated, 1. The number of each of the Eacheqtier Bills. 2. The Act under which they have been severally issued. 3. The Date. 4. The Denomination, or Value. The Exchequer Bills of each Denomination and Issue, to be arranged according to their progressive Numbers. Each Exchequer Bill to be signed on the back by the Holder, the Docket to be signed by the Holder, with his Address. These Dockets will be compared with the Bills at the Ex chequer Bill Pay-office, Whitehall-yard, and then passed on to the Comptroller-General for examination. The Bills found to correspond with the counterfoils will be sent to be stamped as genuine, and returned to the Holder as soon as this process is completed ; but, in order to lessen the inconvenience which may arise from the inevitable delay at tending the process of stamping, an Official Receipt, signed by the Comptroller-General of the Exchequer, will be given to the several Holders, specifying the Number and Denomination of the Bills so returned. The instruments purporting to be Bill=, which do not coin-, cide with the counterfoils, will be retained to await the direc tions of the Treasury, but for these also a receipt shall be given.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC J OURNA.LS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.-As far as regards the further circulation of the forgeries, all apprehension may now cease ; for there are but three ways in which the Exchequer Bills now outstanding can be passed. First, by sale in the public market, where, of course,none will be bought ex cept from respectable parties, who will be personally re sponsible for the validity of the documents. Secondly, by paying them into the Bank of England in part of the recent funding—in which case, by the adoption of the suggestion in our paper of yesterday, arid the well known vigilance of the Chief Cashier of the Bank of England, who is now empowered to withhold the scrip until the genuineness of the subscribed bills has been tested, there will be no diffiCulty in stopping all that are for geries. There is a third method by which they may be passed, namely s by presenting them for renewal in March or June, at the office of the Paymaster of Exchequer Bills ; but here, by comparison with the counterfoils, there will be an easy test of their validity. Upon the discovery being first made, all parties who brought forged bills to the office were allowed to take them away, it being merely intimated that the instru ments were invalid ; but Lord Monteaole has now most properly decided that all the documents presented at his department, which are found to be fraudulent, shall be retained ; and the decision of the Government, acting, of course, under legal advice, will guide his Lordship in the use to he hereafter made of them. The greatest attention is showteehy the Comptroller-General and his subordinates to ail parties applying for aid or advice, and Lord Monteagle is indefatigable in his per sonal exertions to investigate the whole transaction, as well as to remedy as far as possible the inconvenience that must arise from it. It is true that some of the bills paid in during the week for the recent funding are ascertained to be forged ; but this circumstance is matter of congratu !alien rather than regret, because,by the present arrange ment of withholding the scrip until the validity of the sub sceibed Bills is proved, those that arc spurious will fall into the proper hands—the hands of the Governtrient. The reason why Mr. Smith selected all the higher numbers for his forgeries is this,—that it is customary at the Exchequer Bill-office to give out the lower numbers to individuals, and to take the supply for the Bank of England from the documents on which the dis tinguishing figures are of the largest amount ; and as the latter are merely deposited, never finding their way into the market, it was very unlikely that :forged bill would come into collision with another of its own number—for the valid Bill would most probably be lying in the chest of the establishment alluded tn. Mr. Smith was aware of the practice of the Exchequer office, as well as of the custom pursued at the Bank of England, - and his knowledge, of course, enabled him to carry on his system with greater facility. STANDARD.—It woiild be worse than idle to attempt to contradict in detail the malicious falsehoods which form the style of the articles which appear from day to day in the morning and evening organs of the late Government. We had hoped. that their viru lence had nearly worn itself out, but we find thet we have reckoned without our host. There never was a period when a Sovereign of these realms so nom pietely occupied the minds and hearts of a people as does her Majesty Queen Victoria at the present moment. At no time within our recollection has the affectionate loyalty of the people of England been more strikingly demonstrated ; and we cordially respond to the suggestion of our esteemed Contempo rary, the Morning Herald, that if the hopes of the nation be realised by the birth of a male heir to the British Throne, an event so auspicious should be signalised "by the revival of an ancient, but long disused custom,"—the "proclaiming of liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison -doors to them that are bound." Such is the moment—when mlions of her loyal and devoted subjects are looking with the deepest anxiety for the news of her Majesty's delive rance from an hour of peril, which she is called upon to share with the meanest of her subjects—that is selected by the Globe for dragging, for party purposes, her Majesty's name into its columns, and associating with it statements as false and malignant as they are indecent. There is not a subject of Conservative principles in her Majesty's dominions who will not indignantly repudiate the gratuitous and, we must add, profligate assertion of the Globe of last evening, that " her Majesty's health is now dispensed with at Cpnserva , .ive Atli T*1.2 , 4_45 the occasion setected - Tor tli - e — proriaglition of this falsehood ? One on which every heart is animated, we hope and believe, by sentiments of affec tionate anxiety for her Majesty's welfare—an anxiety approaching ;note nearly to the feeling with which her subjects usually regard approaching pain and peril to members of their own families, than to any sentiment of mere abstract loyalty and devotion to a Sovereign. Such is, we repeat it, the juncture selected by the protege of the late Government for irreverently mixing up the Queen's name with the most malignant and groundless calumnies. Ifthis be loyalty it is of a description to which Conservatives make, we readily admit, no pretension. But if loyalty, in the best and truest acceptation of the term, may be presumed to exist in hearts occupied at this interesting crisis of a nation's hopes by one feel ing of affectionate and anxious solicitude for her welfare, then we are satisfied that there is not a Conservative in her dominions who is not entitled to claim credit for it. COURIER.—The Morning Herald has conferred a real service on the community interested in the re sult of the enormous frauds committed in the Ex chequer Bill-office, by its reprint of the ease of Ro bert Aslett, tried in the 3e it 1803 at the Old Bailey Sessions for " embezzling effects," which effects were Exchequer Bills, the property of the Bank of Eng land. The case of Mr. Bowman Smith, the culprit is the present instance, and the circumstances under which the Exchequer Bills were prepared and issued by him, present, in the more important features, a remarkable analogy with the facts thus detailed in the case of As lett. In the first place, as the Herald observes, to whose article we refer elsewhere, it was held " that Exchequer Bah, issued as valid bills by the authority of Government, though signed with the name of the Auditor of the Ex chequer, by a person not legally authorised to sign them, and thereforeJbrgeries, constitute effects in the hands of bona fide purchasers, and that the innocent holders have a claim on the justice of the Government fir their payment." It does not strictly appear as yet that the bills issued by Bowman Smith are "forgeries," and we incline to think it will be found they do not range within that category ; if so, the claim of the holders is so much the more fortified. In the second place, it may be contended that they were not issued by the " authority of Government." But here, again, how is the " authority of Government" to be in terprctated except through the acts of its accredited agents ? Bowman Smith was that accredited agent, being described in the Royal kalendar, a work of authority we presume, as " Senior Clerk in the office for issuing Exchequer Bills." Here he is connected direct with the Government in the special depart ment from which all Exchequer Bills must ema nate, and therefore the department and the party which represented the connexion and in tromission direct between the Government and the public. We cannot, therefore, but come to the con clusion that the holders of Exchequer Bills so issued and placed in circulation, whether forged or embezzled, have a legal as well as equitable right of indemnifica tion, when held against value bona fide paid, and un tainted otherwise with fraud or collusion with fraud. The stocklambling story of Bowman Smith, the con fessed criminal now awaiting trial, is but a repetition in its main features of the notorious case of Aslett. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YEiTERDAY. TIMES.—Now that some progress . has been made in .Invl infinitely oru:egrlahnids the investigation of the "Exchequer Bill" fraud, so as to disclose at least the general bearings of it, the astonish ment becomes universal in the City at the loose system of business which has left even . the possibility of . so ex tensive a fraud, much more of its continuance during so h q t U ru en t.h ey . so e:flel whichteai entirely is, long a period. In the minds of men at all accustomed to order and regularity, it . amounts to a confession that no check or control existed over . the issues from the p past that dispute Exchequer, and almaq to firrnsh . an excuse under such extraordinary temptation, .if anything could s s tem bee vhe c n om he " among all parties in . politics, that the only effort m do itt s e o d ,. for Th t i l s ie is del a in made is, by one side to . fix the original blame negligent administratio.n. If it does not now undergo enuponhow everter eb t da n du e pmo o ntrh. office, ffis r . pc re i, T e ig h t enbieeel becamei e found a complete reform, it will be . the most entire neglect of a due protection to the public that could possibly be committed. Any bank clerk accustomed to the checks impose upon all issues, would in a few hours so organise the Exchequer Bill dep?xtmen.t, as to make fraud, or which the forms of business at the Bank even irree-ularity, quite impossible. The two issues do, indeed, resemble each other in character much more than would at a cursory view appear, for an Exchequer Bill passes from band to hand almost as rea dil y as a Bank of England note, and is, in ordi nary circum stances, almost as easily . converted int o money . Sunly the ridicule of all fo rei g n nations, independently of our own, must attach to the whole •of this affair, when it is perceived that a functionary like Lord Monteagle, called a " Controller " of the Exchequer whose utmost employment woulti be to attach his signa ture to the issues, and who receives for th a t purpose 2,0001. annu ally of the public money, performs all this work by deputies, who sign for him, not by order or procuration, which would transfer to them some portion of the responsibility, but who write his name, and en deavour to imitate as nearly as they can his real signa ture—that is, who commit forgeries by authority ; and all this extending over a circulation of the unfunded debt, which has never been less than 20,000,000/ an nually, and has been heretofore very much greater. Thus the melancholy truth Comes out, that sinecures are made for public men out of responsible duties, which they always neglect, to the infinite disadvantage and danger of the whole community. How much better and more honest it would be to create a pension at once, and take away the possibility of committing so flagrant a breach of trust, for it deserves no better name. • Some people have been amusing themselves by a cal culation of the labours which would have devolved upon Lord Monteagle, supposing his signature to have been attached to all the issues, and this amounts to about 40 hours, on the following grounds :—Take the average amount of the bills at 500/. each, and there would be 40,000 of these in number, which requires only the Sig nature of 1,000 within the hour, a number which would be greatly exceeded after a little practice. We have met with one very good suggestion on this head to-day, which is, that, besides the signature of the Controller, there should be the counter-signature of the chief issuing clerk, but perhaps the better plan would be to have an office set apart for this purpose in the Bank of England, and placed under the general control of the establishment. _ _ _ Lord Monteagle_ makes so very awkward a figure in the business, that there was an impression in the city yesterday, that he had been summoned to attend the investigation at the Treasury, not in the most courteous manner, and that he had not been treated with much for bearance in the examination to which he was subjected. The eagerness in the city to have something defi nitively settled relative to the Exchequer Bill circu lation increases every hour,,anclit is impossible to collect one tithe of the inconvenience which is ex perienced through this delay, which is not the less certain because those engaged in the investigations happen not to be elle to say anything of a precise and satisfactory nature. Exchequer Bills have ever been the select asset of those city bankers who con sent to put up with small returns, in order to keep all their funds at ready disposal ; and were any alarm to arise just now, is impossible to say . with what conse quences it might be attended. This is a great evil in itself, but i than that arising from the doubt as to the extent to which the Government may consent to be come liable for the fraudulent issue's. One party who held 2,0001. in Exchequer. Bills of doubtful character, was induced ; esterday to sell them for 1,8001., the buyer consenting to abide the result of the investigation. Some annoyance has been felt, for which all due al lowance will be made, by the officers in the other de partments of the Exchequer Bill service, at some ambi guity in at first designating that from which the great fraud originated: It is, therefore, proper to state dis-; tinctly, that the delinquent department is the " Ex- chequer-office," in which the bills are prepared, and which is under the control of Lord Monteagle, and 'not the " Exchequer Bill-office," which is that through which the bills are distributed into circulation, and which is under the coetrol of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Great care seems to be used to prevent any public no tice being taken of.parties who have become objects of suspicion at the Treasury, as having a share in these transactions, but there are several, nevertheless, who are freely spoken of as under the observation of the police, though they may not actually have been placed under arrest. It will be recollected that for some years . past large speculations in the foreign funds have been referred to as - ,originating with a certain " club" at the west end of flit town, but to the locality of which no clue was ever fbund. - There is no doubt now that the forgers and traffickers in these .false Exchequer Bills were in this case the real " club." They did not, it seems, always settle the large differences against them in money, but met them with a deposit 'of "Exchequer Bills," which was attended with much less risk, and an swered the same purpose. - What has been said about any interference in this matter .by the Committee of the Stock Exchange amounts to very little. They had one interview by a, de putation with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who could only give them some general assurances on the subject, and they have since refrained from interference in a question with which as a body they do not con ceive that they have any direct concern. Some of the members of the Stock Exchange individually are likely, it is said, to be large-sufferers by the fraudulent issues, and one instance is mentioned in which the amount is near 300,0001. Late in the afternoon it transpired that Mr. Marshall, the cashier of the Bank of England, had returned from the Tr'sury, and that he was in possession of some in formation likely to allay the ferment in the public mind. This would seem, however still to be incomplete, but as far as it goes is rather of a discouraging character, since it turns out that of the bills sent into the Bank for the fund- ing in the course of the week, nearly the whole are pro- to proves clearly enough, what was hinted at yesterday, that the delinquents have had the sagacity to make a hit on this vulnerable point. The best part of the information collected to-day refers to something like a certainty as to some classes of bills which aro not forgeries. Thus it is said that not one forgery has been committed in bills of lower amounts than 1,000 ; also that no forgery has been committed with bills numbered below 6,000, the parties having all selected trio high numbers as well as the large amounts. This may afford a specie:: of relief to persons who hold bills described above, but still it is now established clearly that there are forged bills in cir culation to a very large amount, the extent of which it is as yet impossible to estimate, and which are forgeries. This remark applies, however, to the signature only ; the paper on which - they are printed, and the type used, which are both peculiar in their kind, are the same as those issued by the Govern ment. This is a circumstance which may prove fortu nate to the holders, 'in fixing a liability upon the Trea sury ; in fact, the opinion rapidly gains ground to-day, that if resisted, the parties, if shown to be innocent holders, will have their legal remedy against the Go vernment. One artful expedient to which the conspira tors, as they unquestionably' are, resorted, was that of using the imitations of bills which were deposited by the Government with the Bank of England, which, as they never get ,into general circulation, were a sort of protection against discovery. On application being made to day at the Bank, the numbers held in de posit there have been obtained, and also of those bills which belong to the Bank of Ireland. We present them for convenience of reference in a tabular form as folio ws : RANT OF 11,000,0001., DATED JUNE 16, 1841. a HELD BY THE BANK OF IRELAND. 6,919, 7,553-633 of 1,0001. each. 3,102, 3202100 of 5001. 1,015, 1,073-59 of 2001. 5,325, 5,381-157 of 1001. . . GRANT or 10,751,5501., DATED MARCH 15, 1841. 8,437, 8,633-197 of 1,0001. each, in the Bank of Ireland, DANK OF IRELAND. 8,634, 8694-61 of 1,0001. 1,969, 2,125-15 of 5001. 1,001, 1,058-1,058 of 2001. 4,010, '4,214-205 of 1001. . . GRANT OF 11,000,0001., DATED MARCH 15, 1841. HELD BY THE BANK OF IRELAND. 8,403, 4,560-158 of 1,0001. 5,696, 4,704-9 of 100/. Of the above bills 25,0001. were sold by the Bank of England on the 16th of October, 1841. 8,437 to 8,461-25 of 1,0001. It is only necessary to observe as a guide in the use of the above table, that all numbers duplicate of those set forih, with the exception of the last 25, must be forgeries. An official communication has been made to-day from the Treasury to the Bank, that of 60,000/. Exchequer bills sent up to-day as the result of the funding opera tion, the whole are spurious, and have been impounded. Thus the materials upon which the investigation will have to work, arc daily becoming wider, and no one can foresee how soon it can be brought to an end. At a meeting at the Stock Exchange Committee to day, a resolution was come to which may be of some utility in preventing the exclusion of Exchequer Bills from circulation, which has been threatened by the late occurrences. This is, that no quotations of them shall take place in the official list, unless those under guaran tee, and thus,if the parties are good and responsible, something-like a market is established for the article. This, however, must be limited, and cause much trouble, which ought not to have arisen. Those of the shareholders of the United States Bank who are anxious to avail themselves of Mr. Jaudon's presence to get up a public meeting, should be aware that there is no time to lose, as it is generally under stood Mr. Jauden will leave this country on the 4th No vember, which will fall on next Tharsday. Our letters from Amsterdam state that the Govern ment is resorting to the sale of its landed property, and it seems to be generally considered that the Treasury will be a gainer by the proceeding; for, although such sales generally take place at low prices, still it is con ceived that land, particularly in Holland, is more pro ductive in the hands of private persons than in those of the Government. The reason why lands are considered a peculiarly bad Government property in Holland is, that the management of them has been a pretext for giving places, and is therefore excessively expensive. Besides, loans have been contracted on these lands, with the sti pulation that the bonds should be taken in payment of the lands when sold, and therefore, when they are dis posed of, a number of these bonds will be cancelled, with the additional advantage that some money must find its way to the Treasury. POST.—Many reports continue to be circulated relat ing to this daring fraud. The amounts given out as those said to be jeopardised vary from hour to hour, and we do not believe that there can be any possibility, for the present, of ascertaining the real sum with even a tolerable approach to accuracy. A great many p ersons moving in a respectable circle in the City are impli cated in the affair, but to what extent, and under what circumstances, must be equally matter of conjecture. Conversation now turns a good deal upon tke important question of liability. This, however, is one that we do not feel called upon to enter into. The warrants issued for the delivery of merchandise require attention. They are very easy of imitation ; the printed form being entirely destitute of art, and the sig- I nature, in many cases, nothing more than a common lithographic representation of the autograph. The tea warrants are documents of this loose description, and should be immediately looked to. cfmoNicLEA—Tbe extent to which the frauds of Mr. Smith have been carried is now - . increased to 350,0001., about 60,0001. of which is in the hands of the TIOASUry, so that the amount known to be outstanding is about 300,0001. But whether this sum represents the whole, or half, or what portion of the full extent of fictitious paper in circulation, or that may be put out, it is impossible for any man to tell. Such being the fact, if the Government have decided on rejecting a part of the bills on the ground of forgery, it is difficult to fore see to what extent public confidence may be shaken in the value of all Exchequer Bills outstanding. There are various rumours afloat to-day regarding the connection formed by Mr. Smith and his confederates for the execution of his plans, which, if true, would render it imperatively necessary on the Government to order in all bills in cir culation. We abstain, however, from alluding particu larly to this and some other points until the decision of the Government is made public. HERALD.—Some aniusement was afforded to con versational circles about the Stock-house by the con ceited twaddle of an ex-Ministerial Evening Print in its first ostentatiously leaded leaders of to-day and yester day, pretensions of exclusive information on this Exche quer Bill affair. It does so happen that not one solitary fact is stated in either one or the other of the solemn drolle ries of this pragmatical scribe, which had not been culled from one or other of the Morning Papery, that is so far as they are facts. The only original matter consists in the man's blunders. Thus Bowman Smith is described as a clerk in the office of the Comptroller-General, in pompously-paraded contradiction to the statement that he was a clerk in the Exchequer Bill-office. The Court Calendar, which 'should be an authority, states, how ever, as given yesterday under this head, that he was " issuing clerk" in the Bill-office. Again, a member of the Foreign Stock Exchange was indicated who had vo luntarily surrendered to the Treasury 60,000 t. of these spurious bills which were in his hands. The party in question did no such thing ; he took and lodged them in the Bank. Again, the party against whom a warrant was issued is not " connected with," that is a member of, the Foreign Stock-house, but a better-known-than trusted speculator out of it. So much for the exclusive twaddle of this pretender to state secrets, DINNER TO LORD HO WICK. ALNWICK, TUESDAY NIGHT.—This afternoon a public dinner to Lord Howick, in celebration of. his Lordship's return for Sunderland, was given to him by the Liberal &ectors of North Northumberland. The dinner took place in the theatre, which is the largest room in the town except the Duke's property, and it was served from the Star Inn. Prideaux John Selby, Esq., of Twizell House, was in the chaii. Ralph Cary, Esq., of Hedgeiy; John Clavering, Esq., of Calleby Castle ; George Dar.; ling, Esq., of Hetton House ; and J. S. D. Selby, Esq., of Cheswick House, were in the vice chairs. In the room we observed the Hon. G. Grey, Rev. Mr. Head, and the following gentlemen, who nearly all acted as stewards :—William Baird, Esq., Thomas Bourne, Esq., Ralph Carr, Esq., John Carr, Esq., Edward Clavering, Esq., Matthew Culley, Esq., George Darling, Esq.; Andrew Robert Fenwick, Esq., Ralph Fenwick, Esq., John Forster, Esq., Joseph Forster, Esq., Major-Gene ral John Grey, of Morwick, George A. Grey, Esq., C. Bacon Grey, Esq., Joshua Hewitson, Esq., Sanderson Ilderton, Esq., Philip, Nairn, Esq., . John S. D. Selby, Esq., Prideaux Selby, Esq., W. Strother, Esq., R. 'Taylor,. Esq., Christopher Weallins, Esq., H. P. Burrell, Esq., &.c. After dinner several ladies entered the gallery, amongst whom were Lady Howick. and Lady Georgiana Grey, who were received with loud applause. The CHAIRMAN ' gave in , succession the following toasts: —" Her Majesty the-Queen," "Prince Albert and the Princess Royal," " The Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Family," and " The Army and Navy." • The CHAIRMAN then • called for a bumper, and pro posed " The health of their noble guest," prefacing the toast with observations on the talent he had displayed•in Parliament, and the strenuous exertions he had made for the genera welfare of the country. Lord HoWica responded to the toast in a speech of masterly eloquence. iAfter thanking the company for the honour done him by drinking his health, he re verted to the early days of their acquaintance, and the many scenes which had since taken place, in all of which he had experienced from them the same kindness, generous confidence, and good-will. This circumstance suggested to his mind the reflection, that although they were now met in a period of political ad versity, it was an adversity far less than that or 1826, when he first entered on the stage of public affairs. It was true that in the last election the Liberal party were defeated, but could they forget that in 1826 the ascen dancy oft -oppcirionte o rr nn,.ea -i—,rf - esmvnslleu that they dared hardly venture on thinking to shake it? Such was the state of things in 1826, when he first came forward for Northumberland, that he was defeated. But what folloWed? In the second Session in which he had the honour of being in Parliament, the repeal of the Test and .Corporation Acts was effected ; in the following Session the disabilities of the Roman Catholics were re moved; and in two years more he came down to Nor thumberland, and without even the necessity of going to a poll was triumphantly returned as their Representative to support the great measure of Parliamentary Reform. He admitted the country had pronounced a verdict in opposition to the late Government, and although he was ready to admit that bribery and intimi dation had been extensively used by the Tories at the late election, yet, comparing its result with that of -1837, when the same means were used, he could not account for the change of circumstances which had taken place, without admitting that there must have been a' very considerable change of public opinion. But although the recent decision of the country was against the late Government, still he was persuaded the princi ples they inculcated were sound, and the system of po licy they advocated wise and good, and he had such reliance in the inherent strength of truth and reason, that he was persuaded they must eventually triumph.— (Applause.) If they looked at the circumstances of the late election, they would see that the verdict pronounced by the country was rather against the Government as at that time composed, than the principle of the measures they brought forward, Of their general line of policy.— (Applause.) But whatever may be the bands to which the reins of power are committed, if, as he believed, the public opinion was in favour of commercial reform, their triumph was assured ; for if the new Government should resist them their practical adoption may be delayed, but cannot long be prevented, and in the end they will be too strong for any Government.—(Loud applause.) , On the other hand, he could not expect the present Govern ment would carry into effect Liberal principles —(Hear.) He could not forget that there were included in the Mi nistry men who were the most active and determined, even of their own party, in resisting every one of those measures of reform and improvement to which he (Lord Howick) attached the greatest value. His Lordship then adverted to the Duke of Wellington, of whom he spoke as an able general, but a very indifferent statesman ; and. to Sir Robert Peel, of whom he remarked, that he was more celebrated for his skill in debate, and his Par liamentary tactics, than for the wisdom of his conduct. In his conduct he had shown far more dexterity in ap plying the maxim— " sufficient for the day is the evil thereof," and in evading the immediate difficulties of his position, than the higher power of taking a large and comprehensive view of the affairs and situation of his country, and adapting his measures to promote its true and permanent interests.—(Applause.) His appeared not to be a mind of that high order to lead public sentiment, and impress his own opinion upon the age ; on the contrary, from the outset of his career he had always been found lagging behind the general progress of opinion. —(Loud cheers.) In illustration of this remark he alluded to his conduct with reference to the Test and Corporation Acts, the proposed disfran chisement of East Retford, and the removal of the Ca tholic disabilities. Such being the case, he could not be lieve Sir IL Peel would at once put off the cloak he had so long worn. The composition of the Ministry was, to his mind, any thing but satisfactory, and their conduct during the short period they had been in office had justi fied his worst anticipations. His Lordship then alluded to the measure with respect to Mr. Scarlett, which he distinctly designated as a job, done to conciliate a politi cal partisan, and what made the whole transaction more repulsive, that partisan was a Judge—a nobleman who held one of the very highest situations on the judicial bench.—(Loud applause.) But though he (Lord llowick) was by no means favourable 'to the present Mi nistry, he was very far from desiring their immediate overthrow. He thought already much good had resulted from their being placed in office, especially in dis pelling the delusion respecting the new Poor-law. He then adverted to the extraordinary silence of Sir James Graham when the Tories made this measure a stalking horse, especially as it was well-known Sir James Gra ham was one of the Cabinet by which it was proposed, and one of its stanchest supporters ; but now, in his capacity of Home Secretary, he was compelled to declare that he adhered to the principle of that measure.—(Ap plause.) In the same manner, with reference to finance, the Tories had hitherto had the easy task of find ing fault ; now it appeared they had no measures of their own to propose. He charged the Tories with having caused the necessity for increasing the naval and military establishments by their perpetual attacks both in Par liament and through the press, and then objecting to the measures proposed by Government for defraying the ex penses.—(Applause.) If the minds of the present Minis try were not made up as to the principle of their mea sure when they opposed the Government, that opposition must have been of a personal and factious nature. He could not conceive it possible they would adopt the mea sures of their opponents, and if they did not, they must either increase the debt, in time of peace, or an addition to taxation, both of which he held would be unjustifiable before they tried the other means of supplying the defi ciency of revenue which had been proposel — ctVT plause.) His Lordship then urged the necessity 01 tne people concentrating their energies on this one angroat question of Commercial Reform, and concluded ex cellent speech by proposing " The Elect Northern Division of Northumberland:' —he J. CARR, Esq., then proposed_ " The hea lth of Earl Aoprpl of the ause.) Grey, the father of reform , " which was d ran k with the most rapturous enthusiasm, an d responded to in suitable terms by Lord Howick. " The magistrates of Nor- Mr. DARLING proposed thumherland," w hich was a“cknowledged by the Chairman. Mr. DONALDSON gave The L . ihera! electors of derland," stating t h e y h a d distinguished dis . tingiushed themselves t h roug h ou t the empire by returning the Noble Lord who wa s that evening their guest.—(Applause.) Lord Howicit, in returning thanks, said he embrac e d that opportunity of expressing the indignation with w hi c h he had seen a petition presented against his re turn—(Loud cheers)—in which those from whom it ema nateel, not content with preferring against him a charge hich they knew was utterly groundless, threw asper sions on their fellow townsmen accusing them of bribery and corruption. But th e real fault of the electors of Sunderland in the eyes of the Tories was, that they were proof against the arts of corruption.—(Loud cheers.) The petition might put him to expense and inconve nience ; he supposed that was its design. It could have no other Object, and those who presented it little knew him if they supposed he should yield his seat under the influence of such a threat.—(Tremendous cheers.) His Lordship then proposed " The health of the Chairman," which was suitably acknowledged by Mr. Selby. The healths of "The Countess Grey, • Lady Howick, the Mayor. and Corporations of Berwick and Morpetb," were next given. Mr. SAMUEL DONKIN then gave "The Cause of Agri culture," and in doing so delivered an able speech in sup port of the principles of free trade, and especially the late Ministerial measures. Mr. Donkin rents a farm at the rental of 1;000/. a-year under Mr. Riddle, of Felton, and he declared himself opposed to-the sliding scale, stating that he knew, from his habits of weekly communication with the farmers at' their markets, that at least nine tenths of them are against the Corn-laws, as they at pre sent exist.—(Loud applause.) Many of them stated that the vaunted sliding scale of Sir Robert Peel played into the hands of jugglers to cheat the farmers, at the very time when they expect to reap the fruits of their in dustry. After advocating the Ballot, Mr. Donkin called their attention to the course now pursuing in the registry for Northumberland. Every farmer on the Duke of Northumberland's estate who had two or three sons, was compelled to register those sons as joint occupiers.— (Hisses, and shouts of " Shame.") In which way could they 'guard against such unconstitutional stretches of power, unless by giving a system of voting in which every Yuan could record his real opinions ?—(Applause.) Several other toasts were afterwards g iven, and the comPany separated about half-past nine o clock. LETTER FROM EARL FITZ .WILLIAM. (From the Doncaster Gazette.) ." The -inferiority of the qualities of the new English wheat hitherto brought forward, is fast reducing the averages ; the last general return for the kingdom, published on Thursday (645. Bd.), shows a fall, as compared with that for the week preceding, of 6s. 6d. per quarter ; and as the next will probably be lower, a rise to 10s. Bd. in the duty is nearly certain to take place on the 30th inst., and we calculate that by the 14th Oct. the duty will be 20s. Bd. per quarter." Wentworth, Oct. 4, 1841. DEAR MR. TA.SBURGH—The paragraph which I have prefixed appears to me to give rise to some very serious consideration's. It is taken from the Universal Cora Reporter of last week, Sept. 27—a paper which has no general politics; and which never hints at a maxim in political economy. It speaks of reducing the ave rages ; but I need not remind you (even if the para graph .itself did not relieve me from that necessity) that reducing the averages and raising the duty - are the same thing. But what I wish particularly to draw your attention to, is the cause of this approaching rise of duty with which we are threatened. It is not the abundance of corn—if it were, something might be said in favour of the system ; but, on the contrary, it is the inferiority of the new wheat. That such would be its - character, might have been foretold as long ago as the Ist of August, after the experience we had had of the weather in June and July. What might have been foretold then is now matter of fact ; and at the very moment when, in common prudence, we ought to throw open our markets to every bushel of sound corn that can .be introduced, we are actually about to impose a prohl ,bitory duty. That a duty of 20s. Bd. is prohibitory, will not, I apprehend, be denied by anybody ; in the first place, because it is just that amount which the sup porters of proteetion consider to he protective of British agriculture ; and in the next place (which is much better proof of it), bicause of the . prices which are now ruling in the continental markets. Turning to another part of the paper from which my text is taken, I-.find ; under-the head, " Dantzic, Sept. 18," the following paragraph : _ " The falling off of supplies from the country strengthens the confidence in the trade, and the market, therefore, has been cleared at rather advancing prices, which we quote as rollows : —s6s. for mixed wheat of 601bs ; 51s. for fine mixed ; 525. for Common high mixed of 601bs. ; fine old wheats, being held at 575. to 585., find no buyers." Now, the addition of 20s. Bd. would obviously exclude not only the best, but she whole of the corn here men tioned, even without the addition of a single shilling for freight and charges. as the averages are reduced, this corn is manifestly not wanted, and that its exclusion is essential for the prevention of a further fall in price, and consequently; for the protection of British agriculture. According to his views there might be something in this rejoinder, and it might :be consistent with the welfare of t.h. people (as far as the Corn-law considers welfare); if the averages exhibited a specimen of th e cos t o f 1," tueir. it is salmons, however,..that they do no thing of the kind. The averages ale reduced, not by the quantity, but by the quality of the wheat brought to market ; for, though the averages, as regulators of the trade and of the fluty, sat reduced, the price of bread does not fall ;.and the farmer laiselfreAlo buys bread like his neighbours, is obliged to give9d. or 10d. for the 41b. loaf, while the highest price he can obtain for his new wheat is 655. a quarter. Referring again to the same paper, I find that new Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, is quoted at 565. to 655. ; Norfolk, Lincoln, and York, at 565. to 63s ; Dantzic and lionigsburg, at 635. to 755.; and even the inferior grain of Meeklenburgh and Pome rania, at 635. to 70s. As it is from the high-priced grain that wholesome human food is manufactured, we need not be surprised at the price of the loaf ; but, as farmers deal in corn, not in bread, they derive no ad vantage, but the contrary, from a high price of bread. Let ris now turn to tliestate of the Corn trade. It is of great importance to the agricultural class at this season, because you know very well that most of the half-year's rents of England are due between Michael mas and Martinmas; and that, in order to._meet their landlords, the farmers must, and do, effect great sales at this period. In the week ending Sept. 25, the arrival of English wheat in the port of London was under 3,000 quarters; of Scotch and Irish there was none ; while of foreign there was 87,222 quarters, of which upwards of 57,000 were from Dantzic, upwards of 12,000 from Ko nigsberg, the highest qualities. For the sake of the people, 1 am very glad that it has arrived ; but when it is considered that above a million and a half of quarters - had just been released from bond, it must strike even the most careless observer, that this sudden influx of such large masses mu,t operate in a most mischievous manner upon the trade in British corn. The corn is wanted for food, and therefore I rejoice at its arrival ; but if it had fed the market gradually during the last two, three, four, Or five months, it would not have pro duced these astounding. effects. We should neither have had the average about 60s. now that the farmers have corn and must sell it, nor should we have seen it at 685., 705., 755., and 803., when they had none to sell. These recent events afford one of the most convincing arguments in favour of the most perfect freedom of trade; and prove to demonstration how misc hievous all the se regulations and contrivances are, even to those for whose benefit they are kindly, though not very wisely, .in tended. Another sentence in the same paper states that in Mark-lane " there was again a numerous attendance of country buyers, who d irected their attention to foreign wheat, and the transactio ns in this -ar ticle were rather e x tensive." P.S.—lllness and other interruptions prevented my closing this letter at the time I intentred, and I have not c - ; w time to pursue the last subject of inqui r y. Id o not, h oweve r, much regret the p os t ponement, as subse quent events have proved the accuracy of the calculatio,R4' of the paper from which I have quoted, and what full re liance may be placed upon th e i n f ormat i on wh i ch it conveys. week It anticipations is 6fis. I have av a e n b d e t c h o e d me ut f y7 ts 20s. Bd.; but still th e p r i ce o f the loaf is 9d. Believe me your's mos t faithfully, Oct. 11, 1841. FITZ W ILLIA ?vf. To M.
