EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. The Judges were engaged when we went to press in hearing the argument on a writ of error, a bill of exceptions having been filed by the defendant. The question turned en the construction of the words of the Bth Anne, c. 15. sec. 1, which directed that all authors of books should enter their titles at Sta tioners'-hall, and send 11 copies of the work to the British Museum, for that and other libraries. The work now in dispute was the " Flora Grwca," a valuable one, which had been originally published in numbers, at 14/. each, having only 30 subscribers, and the expence of compiling which had already ruined the author. The defence was that the boa Was not within the intention of the Act. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Judges being engaged in the Exchequer Chamber with the Barons of exchequer, no new trials were argued this morning. Mr. Justice PARK merely sat for a short time to take justifications of bail and motions of course. COURT OF ADMIRALTY. Dr. ARNOLD presided in this Court to-day, but no business of the slightest importane occurring, the C our t b ro k e u p a t h a lf-p as t eleven o'clock. NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. (From the Second Edition of the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday.) Mr. CHESTER in the Chair. Amount of Catholic Rent for this week, 6041. 3s. 4d. So many Letters, Census Returns, and other com munications to the Association were presented and read, that several notices of motions for to-day, had to be postponed. Mr. BRADY said, rumours were afloat that the pre sent Administration had it in contemplation to pro pose some measures of relief for the Catholics to Parliament. He hoped they would not be accom panied with others that would lessen the value of the gift, and he warned the Catholics to be on their guird. _ _ M'DONNELL thought the Catholics should not connect their question with Whig or Tory, or ally other party names; he thought that if the Catholics were offered a part of their just rights they ought to receive it, and then call as vigorouly as ever for the remainder. Mr. LAWLESS thought it would be extremely ne cessary for the Catholics to be on the watch, test a Veto, vested in the King, should be made the price of concession. Mr. O'CONNELL said, he had received a commu nication that it was the intention of Ministers to Propose some relief to this country; but as to a Veto, it would be the greatest insanity in any Minister to Propose such a thing; it could have but the effect of driving the country to madness; as to the " Wings," Peel was already pledged against them, so that if any thing should be proposed for the Catholics, he could not suppose for a moment that either the Veto or the Wings could enter into the compact. Mr. O'CoNNELL read the list of Catholic Church wardens from thirty-nine . parishes. After the voluminous correspondence and other business of the Association was gone through, the meeting adjourned. LORD ARTHUR HlLL.—Yesterday evening, a dreadful accident befel Colonel Lord ARTHUR HILL, of the Scots Greys, whilst crossing from the Caher-road to Knock lofty, (by a bye road,) inorder to pay a visit to the . Earl of Donotionarolz. Lord HILL was accompanied by some Officers of the Greys, and whilst cantering along, his horse started and flung its rider amongst a heap of stones. We have beard that Lord HILL is dreadfully wounded, having fallen On his head, but, we trust, the accounts circulated have been exaggerated. Lord HILL was removed to Knocklofty House, and an Officer of the Greys rode into tmn, and brought out Surgeon Pitsraw, who had not returned up to the time we were going to press.— Tip. Perary Free Press. LORD NORBURY'S VERY LAST.—A gen tleman in speaking to his Lordship of the recent changes in the Ministry, I suppose Lumb will also go out." " Oh, of course," rejoined his Lordship, " Lamb is now out of season."—Dublin Evening Post. The- pulling down of the portico of Carlton Palace proceeds as rapidly as the sire and firmness of the masonry will permit. Cleopatra's Needle is, we hear, its place, by ornamenting the centre of the square to Supp l y now forming on the site of the Palace and gardens. Notice was served upon the Rev. ROBERT TAYLOR yesterday, by Mr. NEwstati, the city solicitor, that judgment would be moved for against him in the Court of King's Bench on Monday next, for the offence of which he has been convicted. THE REIN DEER.--The rein-deer isnot un frequently during journies seized with a temporary mad ness, and attacks his master in the sledge. But the Lap landers are so accustomed to it, and prepared, that there is no example of its having proved dangerous. As soon as tns animal stops, the Laplander slips out of his sledge, and corers himself with it as a tortoise with his shell ; then the animal batters awhile, and then turns round. The fluster seats himself again, the madness is over, and off they go.—London Medical Gazette, Jan. 26. DREAD OF RESURRECTION MEN.—About six weeks ago the wife of a respectable stone-mason named 130 wraN G , who resides in Arthur-street, Goswell-street road. died in childbed, and Mr. D. being alarmed lest the 6 ' 4 Y-snatchers (who, it is said, are very numerous in the parish of St. Luke's) should disinter the remains of the ueee-- "eu has determined upon keeping the body above ground until the end of the month of March, concluding that, at the expiration of the above period, the body will be 1n such a state of decomposition as to be totally unfit for the use of the anatomists. The body of Mrs. D., ac c"nPallied by that of her infant, are deposited in a leaden "ffin, which is inclosed in two wooden ones, and are still in the house of Mr. DowLWG. CITY MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—A Meeting of the Subscribers to this Society was held last evening at th e King's Head, in the Poultry, Lord Viscount MANDE vILLE in the Chair. —The Report was read by the Secre tary ; it detailed the operations of the Society for the past year, at its eighteen stations throughout London, and no ticed one gratifying fact, which had come under their visi tor's notice, namely, the sensible diminution, during that period, of distress, as compared with the year preceding. A female said to be one of the most exten sive receivers of stolen goods in Scotland, bas just been taken into custody by 31‘Gitt.:ER, one of the criminal of fiern• She resided at one time in Calton, but has latterly removed to Dempster-street, better known in town by the name of "Botany Bay." She has been the fatal cause of encouraging and sending a greater nuaiber of thieves to the proper Botany Bay, than any other person in Scot- Glasgow Chronicle. Mr. LEIGH HUNT'S Anecdotes of Lord kicßoN may possibly be a very clever book,—l have not yet read it, so I can't say. But I can say, and do say, and alw a y s shall say, that it is very little short of abominabl e for People to write such books at all. It is, I think, the broadest and most undeniable maxim of social morals, that one man has no sort of right to take advantage of his intimacy with another, to lay his private life and conversation 'before the public. There is Only one exception, even if any, ought to be allowed ; that is, when all that can be told can only redound to the honour of the party. But, from the extracts which have aPPeared of Mr. Hura's book, it is clear that it comes into the usual class of such works, and that it sets forth, to the Owe of the world, those foibles which he could have known only from the unreserve of domestic intercourse. I ( 1 0 not enter into the question of gratitude or ingratitude ; I inclin e even to believe that Mr. Hurr had scarcely any thing to be grateful for. But Igo upon the broad generic prin 6Ple, that we are not to reveal the secrets of a fire i". If these things go on—if every man of celebrity be thus set in a note-book, conned and got by rote, all such al rn " must shut themselves up from the world, friends and l • L we and thus, in exact proportion with the delight they 'a given mankind by the productions of their genius, will they be debarred from those comforts and enjoyments of society which are free to all. A man's works are fair Property and food for criticism ; but we have no right to rointrient upon how many rings he wears, or in what fashion he may c h oose to dress his hair; to s ay nothing o f g seizin g and preserving every careless word of his conversa tins to direct and weigh after he is drad,..Athencemnt, THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY) HAY MA RKE fS.—At per Load of 36 Trusses.)

SPICES.—The East India Company have declared for sale, on the 12th Feb. 1,850 bags of Cloves, 25 cases of Mace, 2,890 bags of Ginger, Pepper 3,324, White ditto 105 bags, and 152 k tons of Saltpetre. In the articles enumerated business is slack, they awaiting the issue of the sale. In Cinnamon there continues a pretty steady demand, at prices from to 2d. above 'the last sale. Pimento does not command a ready sale. . . . . The INDIGO sale has gone off with much less ani mation than was anticipated, and upon an average the prices are from 6d. to is. 6d. lower than last sale. Oude was in good demand. WooL.—Some considerable sales of Spanish, Russian, German, and other Wools, will take place this week. The prices are in general firm. HOPS.—The demand for Sussex Hops continues brisk, and on the quotations of this day week an advance of from 3s. to 4s. per cwt. may be noticed. Kent Hops are not so much inquired after, and the price is, therefore, about the same. RUSSIAN PRODUCE.—TaIIow remains very firm, at from 38s. to 38s. 3d., and the holders demand an advance. The purchasers for home consumption are steady, and the stock of home tallow is not now ex pected to be so great as was anticipated. The mar kets for Hemp and Flax have given way, and each are to-day considerably lower. Some few sales were made at • prices from 1/. 10s. to 2/. per ton on the quotations obtained a week since. The COTTON Market is much less buoyant than it was a week since. After the conclusion of, the sale on Tuesday at the East India House, some purchases were made of Surats at the lowest prises offered. The market for nearly all descriptions is languid to-day ; Egyptian, however, found ready pur chasers at former prices, the stock being very small compared with what it was last year. Extensive shipments of East India have been made latterly. PUBLIC SALES.-(THIS DAY.) BY STEVENS and BRENCHLEY, AT THE MART. SAW MILLS.—A highly valuable Leasehold Estate, comprising the Wentworth-street Saw Mills, situate in Whitechapel, with expensive machinery, steam eNgine, mill gear, fixtures, and apparatus, held for a term, whereof 28 years were unexpired last Mid summer, at 126/. per ann.—Knocked down at 9601.

I)RURY-LANE THEATRE. A new melo-drame, or tragedy, or comedy, or historical play—we cannot take upon ourselves to say exactly which, though, upon the authority of the play bill, we may pronounce it an " historical play," was produced last night at this Theatre, under the singularly inappropriate title of " Edward the Black Prince." The dialogue is said to be taken from Shirley, Beaumont, and Fletcher, and is truly a strange mixture, where the genuine poetry and delicate sentiment of the joint authors of that beautiful tragedy " Philaster" is wedded to the prosaic drivelling of Mr. Reynolds— who, we understand, is the manufacturer of this pre cious farrago. As for the plot, there is none, at least none sufficiently intelligible. Mr.Macready we discover in the course of the piece to be a lover, though his countenance is most seriously anti-amorous, and Miss E. Tree (who evinces no slight quantity of the feeling and intelligence of her sister, the present Mrs. Bradshaw) the lady who, disguised as a page, is secretly attached to him. Among the minor parts—by the way, with the single exception of Macready's, there is no character worth mention ' ing. We may speak with praise of Mr. Wallack's chivalrous bearing, as the Black Prince, and Mr. Harley's arch buffoonery in the part of a half-starved craven nondescript. Miss Grant, too, made a re markably pretty and intelligent waiting-maid; and sang a Savoyard ballad with so much genuine sim plicity, as to call down a hearty encoro. This young lady is, we are glad to perceive, a growing favourite with the public. Mr. Cooper, as the sarcastic Earl of Salisbury, was anything but what the author in tended him to be, his satire was lost from want of intellect to comprehend it; and sank into mere feeble inanity. With regard to the scenery it was in one or two instances showy; but as a whole unequal, and in consistent. The most remarkable part of it was the representation of a water-spout, curiously illustrated by a tremendous shower of saw-dust. The Gods, however, were mightily tickled with the sight, 44 And when Divinities approve, Say why should man condemn?" The house was well attended; and the piece given out for repetition by Mr. Macready with very equivocal testimonies of applause. CATHOLIC EM ANCI PA T It has been stated to us, and we may venture to add, upon authority, that a communication has been made to the British Catholic Association from Government, either that a Catholic Bill will be introduced this Session into Parliament—or that such preliminary arrangements will be adopted, as to ensure the speedy settlement of this great and paramount question. It would be the height of presumption or indiscretion, at least, to ventur e any opinion on this subject at present. All who desire the peace and prosperity of Ireland will re_ joke at this announcement. It will be time enough he t ,. after to canvass the details.—Dublin Evening Post. At the Lime-kilns, Greenwich, on Saturday, a number of scientific gentlemen and engineer officers wit nessed the trial of PERKINS'® steam cannon. A target was placed in a gravel-pit , . at a di stance o f 220 yards from the cannon, and the firing c ommence d at one , an d conti nued to half-past two o'clock, with trifling intermission. The balls were six-pounders, and were discharged at about twenty-eight to thirty per minute, with a pressure of about 770 pounds on the square in c h. Thi s pressur e, Mr. Paxxiws states, is only half what the engine is capable of ; but as the point blank range was so short a distance, the extent of power was not required. We ob served the Baron ST. DENYS, with another French officer, and Captain Jolissow, who expressed their decided opinion as to the merits of the MIN. PRICES, &p.

It appears that he was as unique in his dis position and manner of expression, as he was in his per sonal appearance, and it is said some rash words he had uttered, gave rise to an abstnd report that he had "sold his body to the doctors for ten pounds." His wife, with the ad vice of some individuals as sapient as herself, resolved not only to render this supposed bargain null and void, but also to make the corpse utterly useless to the surgeons.— For this purpose a plan was adopted which certainly says very little for the humanity of those by whom it was re commended. On Sunday last the body was borne to the Greyfriars church-yard, and, before it was lowered into the grave, the coffin lid was raised, and a quantity of the oil of vitriol was poured upon the corpse. A dense pillar of white smoke instantly rose from the broiling remnants of humanity, accompanied by a stench which was exceedingly annoying to the spectators. It is to be hoped that a long period will elapse, ere the public in this quarter bear of a repetition of such a gross outrage.w4cotsman. £25 5i 180 0 170 0 11 15 180 0 Dividend per Share per Ann. p. sent, ja p. cent, I p. cent. 5 0 44 & bs, 18 0 7 0 3 15 72 0 25 0 13 0 1 0 3 0 131126 SC 10 0 1 10 16 0 17 0 15 0 322 A: bs. 40 0 10 a 10 0 1 0 23 0 16 0 I 6s. 6d £1 10 87 10 4805 1000 sh. & 10001 6000 20,000 800 5000 50,000/. 0000 2000 50,000 50,000 24,000 1200ish. 4000 1,000,00 W. 20,000 2400 3900 31,000 20,200 40,000 250,000 i5OO 100,000 705,028/. ►5OO 1500 FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS. WINDSOR, JAN, 28.--Yesterday the Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had the honour of dining and passing the evening with his MA JESTY and the Royal party mentioned in our last. Last night the KING'S private band were again in attendance, and played some pieces of HANDEL'S sacred music during the evening, finishing with the Coronation Anthem, when his MAJESTY retired at eleven o'clock. The Duke of WELLINGTON passed the night at the Royal Lodge, and this forenoon had an audience of his MAJESTY, after which his Grace took leave, and left for his residence in town.— The Duchess of GLOUCESTER, Earl of CLANWILLIAM, Lord and Lady STEWART, and Mr. and Mrs. A. STANHOPE, still continue their visit to his MAJESTY. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, ac companied by the Prince of HOIIENLOIIE LAUGENBOUIW, and the Princess EMILIE of Carolath, came to town yes- terday, to their residence in the Admiralty, from their seat in Busby-park. The Duke and Duchess having come to town for the season, their Royal Highness's household removed to town from Bushy-park. The Duchess of KENT entertained distin guished parties to dinner yesterday and on Saturday, at her apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington. The Duke of WELLINGTON left town on Sunday for the Royal Lodge, Windsor-park, on a visit to the KING. His Grace had the honour of dining with his MAJESTY, and returned to town on Sunday night. A Cabinet Council was held about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which was attended by the Loan CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST, DUDLEY, and ABER DEEN, 'viscounts MELVILLE and PALMERSTON, Lord EL LENBOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PEEL, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The Ministers continued assembled till past six o'clock. Mr. HusmssoN did not attend the Cabinet, being absent at his country-seat, at Eartham, in Sussex, the Right Hon. Gentleman having been ordered a change of air by his medical advisers, for the benefit of his health. Others of the Ministers were also absent, being Likewise out of town. The Hon. EDW. STANLEY attended at the Colonial Office, Downing-street, yesterday, and resigned his official papers and keys as Under-Secretary of State for that Department.

The company of both parties appeared in full court dress. BRIGHTON, JAN. 28.—Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA attended Divine Service in the Chapel Royal, at the Palace, yesterday, when a suitable discourse was preached by the Rev. Mr. Rennin:, the Chaplain.

Stn,--In presenting the public with this new pro duction, my grand object has been to render the speak ing of French as easy and familiar to English persons, as if they studied in Paris. To accomplish this-great desideratum, I have composed the essays on the rules of passages and sentences used in ordinary discourse. By construing them into French, the pupil will not only store his mind with useful expressions, but he will likewise insensibly imbibe just notions of the Grammatical technicalities of the language. This is of the utmost importance for speaking French ; for, unless the learner is properly trained up in the prac tical part, he will never be able to hold the least dis course with a native of France, although he may be a proficient in the theory of the language. The na ture of the French Verbs is, also, exhibited in quite a new and clear manner, and the remarks on pro nunciation are collected from the present practice of the fashionable circles in Paris. - The work is con cluded by a Grammatical Analysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody and Versification; besides a classified vocabulary, a compendium of familiar phrases, and numerous models of notes, letters of compliment and business. In the execution of the whole, in short, the speaking of the language has a prominent feature; and I flatter myself this Gram mar will be found peculiarly adapted to the capacity of the generality of learners, being divided into sixty easy lessons and essays, which will prove no less instructive than agreeable. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble setvant, London, Jau. 28, 1828. J. V. DOUVILLE. P.S. A Key to the Essays is just published. SUPPRESSION OF THE SMALL NOTES. In the last Session of Parliament au Act was passed for the Suppression of Small Notes. This Act is entitled, " An Act to limit, and after a cer tain period to prohibit, the issuing of Promissory Notes under a limited sum in England." This law enacts, that the Commissioners shall not stamp any more notes under the value of Y., and that after the sth of April, 1829, no such notes small be issued under the penalty of 201. It is a question of much importance whether this Act is beneficial or injuri ous to the public. That is to say, whether it is be neficial or injurious to the individuals of whom the public is composed. For it is by its practical effects upon the interest and convenience of individuals that we must judge of its public utility. What will be its effect upon individuals generally ? People must take sovereigns instead of small notes. But these sovereigns may be a little short of weight. When the Bank of England resumed cash payments, the bankers' clerks were obliged to carry a pair of scales in their pockets to weigh the guineas, half guineas, and seven shilling pieces, that were offered in payment of bills of exchange. The guineas were called in, and the scales were of no farther use, as the sovereigns, being all new, required no weighing. But sovereigns will wear away, and become light as well as guineas, what then is to be done ? The scales must be produced again ; a pair of scales or balances will become a necessary piece of furniture in the shop of every tradesman; now all this weigh ing takes up time, wad is a great interruption to business. A thousand 11. notes might be counted in less time than a hundred sovereigns could be weighed. But trouble is not all—there is the risk. Persons who live in towns may run to a shop and weigh a sovereign they arc going to receive. But what is to be done by those who live in the coun try. The gold will wear away, and the loss must be borne by somebody. A party might write upon a 11. note the name of the person of whom he received it, and if it were bad, he could recover the value ; but he cannot write upon a sovereign, if it be bad or light he must bear the loss. A thousand sovereigns arc a thousand times as heavy as one sovereign, but a thousand pound note is no heavier than a one pound note. Persons who have to travel a long way to market, and who carry with them tl►e money they intend to lay out, would find it more convenient to carry paper than gold. Collectors of money, and bankers' clerks, would rather receive blink-notes than sovereigns, because they are less weight to carry. Again, sovereigns cannot be sent by post. If I owed a person in the country, three or four pounds, I could enclose the amount in a letter, but I cannot enclose the gold. And here I must observe that the Bank of England does not grant bank post bills under 10/. Now many bankers and stock-brokers receive dividends, which they remit immediately to their principals. But suppose the dividends amount to any sum under 10/., how is it to be remitted ? If indeed, the person lives at a place where there is a country bank it may be remitted through that bank, but it cannot be sent by post. What will be the effect of this law upon an indi vidual manufacturer? In regard to those wealthy manufacturers who want no accommodation from a banker, the law, perhaps, will have little effect. But very few manufacturers are of this description. Let us take the case of one who is accustomed to receive front a country bank, either as a loan, or in exchange for long dated bills negotiable in London, .500/. or 1,000/. per week to pay his workmen's wages. Above two-thirds of this sum will probably be in 1/. notes; but small notes are abolished.— What is he to do now; .5/. notes will not suit him, because his men do not earn each of them 5/. per week; and if he classed two or three of them toge ther, and gave them .5/. between theta they must take it to the bank to be exchanged before they can divide it. In this emergency the manufacturer may adopt either of these three ways : first, he may procure sovereigns from his banker : secondly, he may pro cure his banker's acceptance, in exchange for his long bills, send it to London to be discounted, and have the amount remitted in sovereigns : or, thirdly, he may open " a tommy shop," and pay his men their wages in food and clothing. With regard to the first plan, it is not to be supposed that the bankers will lend sovereigns on the same terms as their own notes. They will of course charge an extra com mission, which must be paid by the manufacturer. As to the second plan, the banker would in this case too charge a commission upon his acceptance, and the manufacturer would have to bear the risk and ex pence attending the transmission of the gold, while at the same time the number of bills of exchange would be increased, and this would have the same effect upon prices and exchanges as the increase of country notes. The other plan is illegal. An Act of Pat liament was passed a few years ago to prohibit the practice. But this Act may be as easily evaded as the laws of usury; it is only necessary to let the shop be kept in another person's name. By adopt ing this plan the manufacturer would have little oc casion for gold. The goods sold in the tommy shop would be paid in the usual way by a bill on Lon don. It is obvious that in adopting either e first two plans the manufacturer must incur in creased expellee, and in the latter plan the woiltmen would aik t cr be subject to those extortions which are supposed to be practised in shops of that description. After the run in December, 182.5, Several bof i h in Lancashire drew in their note .% and burnt them a in nd on p e u ir t t a e into a t h b e an fi lt r e e r a t too ok onc a e. bunetleof 1 One of t 1 3.1 8,000/ wit. nesses before the Committee of the House of 1 ok a, was asked— .• " How have the manufacturers paid their ivorkm es since the small notes were destroyed to that extent': " To answer that, I must divide the manufactu• rers into three classes :—The first and wealthiesi do now, as they can at all times, pay their workmei with the ►rotes of the National Banks, without the tervention of any agent or banker, and they do pal their workmen in that manner. The second class, not so wealthy as the former, are in connection with some of the largest bankers, such as Jones, Lloyd, and Co., of Manchester, and through their interveL tion they would obtain Bank of England notes of gold, and would continue their operations. The third class, infinitely the greatest in number, as well as in the aggregate amount of their transactions, but the poorest, cannot resort to either of the for mer means of obtaining money to pay their work men. They have been accustomed to obtain accom modation from the country banks in the neigh bourhood in which they live. Since the.contrac don of the circulating medium, they have hardly been able to pay their workmen at all. They do it partly by cheques upon provision-dealers, partly in goods, and partly by collecting from meal men and bakers the notes of banks circulating within eighty Miles of the place in which they live.' What will be the effect of this Art upon a country banker ? It is certain the country banker w:I1 save the expense of stamps, and of engraving upon his small notes; and he will also save the expence of procuring their payment in London; but then - ha must find gold. Let us suppose a country banker has 10,000/. in circulation in small notes. He must supply their place with sovereigns. He will, perhaps st,ll out 10,0001. new four per cent. stock, and have the amount remitted in gold. Here is a loss at once of 4001. per annum, which he was accustomed to receive as a dividend upon his stock. It is obvious he cannot afford to issue these sovereigns on the same terms that he previously issued the small I utes. He will charge an extra commission to re pay himself the 4001. per annum he has lost. But suppose the banker reasons with himself in this way--.-" I now without any risk or trouble to myself receive 400/. per annum dividend on this stock. If I sell it out and discount three months' trills at five per cent., and charge a quarter commis , ,ion, I shall get six per cent. That is 600/. per :IT, num ; but then I must deduct from this amount the expence of transmitting the gold, a portion of the expence of my establishment, and the foss that will occasionally take place through discounting bid bills. I n ill not sell my stock : let those who vr.',at sovereigns get them elsewhere." Ih this case tile. banker will restrict his business. The rosnotte curer, unable to obtain the usual accommodat ie w restrict his business also. Labourers will be thrown out of work, and the production of the country v. ill be diminished. But we will suppose that the banker golf, and obtains art extra commission to repay hint the expenee. In some seasons of the year, p'urti• cularly in the hopping season in Kent Luc! Sasso:, and in harvest time generally throughout tha country, the demand for small currency is greater than at other time:. Ile must procure extra plies. When tile demand is over, the gold will ha returned upon his handi. He must now send tile sovereigns to London again to be proltably em ployed. Thus the banker will have to beer the risk and expence of frequent transmissions of gold, for which he will hardly be repad by an extra com. mission. What will be the effect of this Act uport a Lor. don banker? He will not have to pay any small notes for country b.Lnks. The paying, sorting, en. tering, and returning these notes, takes up a great deal of time. The Londun banker can now' do with fewer clerks. He saves the amount.of their salaries, put at the same titre he will gvt leia profit ny the country banks. fhe demand for bankt , r' clerks will be diminished; but there will no doubt be abundant employment for coiners and scale. makers. What will be the effect of this Act Upon the G vernmeut ? The Government will eertalnly ic;:s the amount of taxes upon the small notes, alas the tax upon the paper used in their manufacture. They will also incur the expellee of coining some millions of sovereigns ; and AN henever the course of exchange shall be against this country, these sovc , -- reigns will be exported, and the State will have to incur the expense of a fresh coinage. It cannot be expected that the coin will remain in this country, if every individual can dispose of it to advantage.— Gilbart's Practical Treati4c on Banding. LAKE OF GRAND LIEU. The Lake of Grand Lieu is situated about fire miles W.S.W. of Nantes, and abounds with fish; carp and pike, weighing from thirty to forty pound; each, being often taken in its waters. In some place: it is very shallow, and in others no bottom can be found. Although not subject to any tide, its waters are sometimes greatly agitated without any apparent cause, and tremendous waves break over its banks, Boats have been sometimes swamped in crossing this little sea during one of the tempests, which ere al ways the forerunners of very high winds, generally taking place about three days afterwards. This Lake before the Revolution, was the pro perty of the Marquis de Juigne, brother of the late Archbishop of Paris ; and here he regularly held a Court of Justice :—the Tribunal wee seated in a boat, about two hundred paces from the bank of the Lake ; and when the Judge gave the sentence, lie was obliged to let his right foot touch the water. At the eastern extremity of the lake is a small Sandy islet of a circular fi,;:tre, about five cr sia hundred paces in diameter, and called file d'Un. In the middle of this island is an upright atone, about five feet in height, and twu or three feet bread at the base. This stone appears to be deeply cm= bedded in the earth, and has a round hole in it, she inches in diameter, and about two feet from the ground, which serves, according to an old tradition to stop up the mouth of a gulf formed by the waters of the lake. This gulf encloses an enormous giant, whose vain efforts to escape from his prison occa sion those dreadful tempests of which we have just spoken. According to a curious MS. of the year 1022, the giant will remain for ever incarcerated, unless a young virgin lift up the stone. To effect this, she is to put her left arm in the hole of the stone, and to hold a consecrated girdle iv her left, in which a slip-knot is to be made, for ot:etplp;o: being put over the neck of the giao . ri who will lit, tuediately become tractable and obllgig, and wha t is more, a very devout Christian.
