That the majority of the House of Representa tives, who voted to issue a hundred millions of greenbacks in place of compound interest notes, knew that they were Toting to inflate the currency, cannot be doubted by any ono who will examine the yeas and nays. The West is nearly unanimous for an unchecked reign of irredeemable paper cur rency, and it is to the West that this last victory over common sense is due. Few people, however, understand precisely how this inflation is to be pro duced. A few words, therefore, of explanation. Since the accumulated interest on them has exceeded three per cent. the compound notes have been wholly withdrawn from circulation, and are no longer money, but a national security. Such being the fact, it would seem unjustifiable to redeem them by a fresh issue of legal tenders, to pay off the 7-30's, or any other part of the debt in that way. The excuse for it, however, lies in the fact that being a legal tender at their face, the compounds are largely held by the banks, as a part of their " lawful money" reserve ; and it is claimed that the new issue must take the place of them, and be held, in like manner, as a reserve in the bank vaults, and consequently that it will not increase the circulation actually in use. There is just enough of truth in this argument to impose on those who wish to be imposed upon, and no more. To the extent to which the new greenbacks will be absolutely locked up as a bank reserve they will not affect the currency one way or the other, but not more than fifty of the hundred millions will be so locked up. By the last quarterly return the banks held 82 millions of compound notes, and 121 millions of specie and other lawful money, making an aggregate of 203 millions. But the reserve which they were required to hold was only 176 millions ;'from which, it appears, that they relied on the compounds for only 55 millions. Deducting this 55 millions from the proposed issue 100, and there is left 45 millions to go into active circulation. But this is not all. Many of the country banks now hold a much larger reserve in their own ' vaults than they are required to hold. The law requires them to hold only two-fifths, and per mits three-fifths to be kept in balances with their redemption agents in the cities, who allow them a small interest on the amounts. When they lose the compounds they will, of course, keep no more idle money than they can help, and the full three-fifths will be kept on interest in the cities. In this way the forty-five millions will be swelled to fifty, with out taking into account the falling off of the neces sary reserves, which will follow from a decline of deposits as the process of contraction goes on. Let the people uuderstaud, then, that their representa tives in Congress have, by a deliberate vote, at tempted to add fifty millions of irredeemable Apper to the sadly depreciated currency of the country, thereby diluting it still farther nearly 15 per cent., and adding to every man's taxes, and postponing, by at least a year, the possible return to specie payments.—The Springfield Republican. A CANNY SCOTCH LADDIE.—The following story of the Scotch student in theology is taken from Dean Ramsay :—" A simple country lad," he says, "went up for examination previous to his receiving his first communion. The pastor, knowing that ho was not very profound in his theology, began by asking him how many Commandments there were, to which he cautiously replied, Aiblins (per haps) a hunner.' The pastor, of course, told the youth that he must wait and learn more. On his way home he met a friend, and on learning that he, too, was going to the manse for examination, shrewdly asked him, Weel, what will ye say, noo, if the minister speers hoo mony Com mandments there are ?'—' Say ! why, I shall say ten to be sure.' ro which the other triumphantly replied, Ten ! Try yo him wi' ten! I tried him `vi' a humor, and he wanes gatisfeed," fISDERI.--Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN, their Ro7al lli2linesses the DUKE of EDIN BURGH, Prince Leopold, Prin.eess Louise, and Princess Beatrice have condescended to sit for their Portraits to Mr. DISDERI.

The LoltD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at Eve o'clock. PRIVATE BILLS. ''he Midland Railway and Derby Gas Works Bills were read it second time. PETITIONS. The Earl of DARTMOUTH presented a petition against the opening of public houses on the Sabbath. THE MILITIA. Tho Marquis of SALISBURY moved an address rela tive to the returns belonging to the Militia, and also its condition up to the end of the year 1866, and stated that the object which he had in view was to ascertain the condition of the militia since it bad been revived from its dormant state during the Crimean war. Since that peilod he was sorry to say that it had not been much heard of. And he now wished to ascertain the returns of the militia from the year 1864. He was sorry to say that it was apparently rather difficult to get officers to join militia regiments. The noble marquis then went into an arith metical detail, which was totally inaudible. He then mentioned that, to keep up the average force, a number of recruits, amounting to 12,500 a year, must be levied. The expense of the militia in local rates and direct taxation was so high that it was a subject which deserved the most careful consideration. The enlistment and every other progressive step was of a similar cha racter. greed L9IsTUFORD said that it was - vary re,ltrialter that every ii;lemation on this subject should be given, but he considered that the noble marquis took a too desponding view of the matter. It appeared that in 1862 and 1863 29,230 men were enrolled ; in 1863 and 1861, 26,000 ; and iu 1865 and 1866, 23,449. In 1864 there were certain changes whichnaight perhaps have acted prejudicially, but this wag:nwing to the unwieldy size of some of the reifttents, but he was informed that with a little relaxation of the medical requirements, and some other stringencies in enlistment, there would be the enrolment of quite a sufficient number. In 1852, a year of considerable agitation, a revivalment of the militia had taken place. The subject had often been brought before both houses, and ono gentleman had stated that ho could get' up a competent militia force without hardly any expense. lie was afraid that this gentleman was dead, but if be wore not and would come forward, they would be happy to give him a very high position at the War-office. Notwithstanding all that had been said against the defici ency of the; militia; he had no fear of its not being adequate to the. demands made upon it. With regard to the officers of militia some complaints had been made by them concerning their quarters, ; but they all knew there, at that "slaughter of the Innocents"—the estimates —a groat many noble-hearted schemes of amelioration had to be given up. The noble lord then read several extracts from a report, showing that proper regulations were not enforced, and that the few days devoted to training wore not turned to the best advantage. It was a matter of very serious consequence that proper accommodation should be pro vided for the militia embodied. The noble Marquis spoke of an army of reserve, and it was now proposed that that portion of the militia who had served them, should form a corps of reserve 'who could join the regular army if called upon, but this would not be until an emergency occurred, and in the meantime they would only drill precisely as other militiamen. Much re mained still to be done, nevertheless, to make this force effective. The papers the noble marquis asked for should be provided. The Marquis of SALISBURY having made a few fur ther observations, Vv . , Earl DE GREY and RIPON said this was a most im portant question. The Duke of SOMERSET then formally moved for re turns of the number of Lieutenants in the Navy, stating his object in so doing was to show that, instead of having too many, we bad really too few junior officers in the navy. He supported that view by referring to the events of the Russian war, and by the necessity which arose even in time of peace. of reappointing Lieutenants to other ships immediately upon their return to England from foreign service. The motion was agreed to. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMM.ONS.-LXST EVENING. The. SPE_U►ZJI took. the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Farnworth Park and Improvement, Herne Bay Water, Metropolitan Railway, and Ross and Monmouth Railway. Sir J. COLLIER gave notice of his intention, on Mon day, to ask whether there would be any objection to lay on the table a copy of the shorthand writer's notes of the trial of a person named Toomer at Reading. THE COUNTY RATE. Mr. WYLD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if her Majesty's Government would introduce any measure to enable the inhabitants of counties who were rated to the county rate to be represented at county financial boards, and through their representatives to have some control in the making and in the expending of the moneys raised by county rates ? Mr. WALPOLE said it was not the intention to intro duce any such measure. ART UNIONS. In reply to Mr. B. HorE, Lord R. MONTAGU could give no promise as to the introduction of a bill to place Art Unions under the de partment of Science and Art, as recommended by a com mittee of last session. EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND. In reply to Mr. FORDYCE, ➢ir. WALPOLE said the report of the Royal Education Commission for Scotland was ready, and would be pre sented after Easter. THE LATE MR. HUME. In reply to Mr. EwAltT, Lord JOHN MANNERS said the bust of the late Mr. Hume, by permission of her Majesty, would very shortly be placed in tho library of the house. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. In reply to Mr. LAYAnn, Lord STANLEY said he had not looked through the despatches yet, but he would do so immediately. He did not anticipate there would be any objection to their pro- duction. THE STATUES OF THE PLANTAGENET KINGS. In reply to Mr. OWEN STANLEY, Lord STANLEY said his Majesty the Emperor of the French had made an offer of the Plantagenet statues at Fontevrault to her Majesty, which offer had been graciously accepted. Circumstances had since transpired which would necessitate legislative measures in the French Chambers, and as the removal of the relics had given rise to unpleasant feelings, her Majesty had at once released the Emperor from his promise rather than occasion the slightest inconvenience. The removal of the relics would not now take place ; and as the proposition of conveying them to England had given rise suddenly to a feeling of veneration for the relics, he had written to the French Government asking that some bettor care might be taken of them than heretofore had been the case. THE IRISH REFORM BILL. In reply to Mr. ESMOND; The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would not be possible to lay the bill on the table before going into committee on the English bill. He would, however, lay the bill before the house as soon aftet Easter as possible. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. Mr. FAWCETT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to intro duce any compulsory educational clauses in the bill for regulating the hours of labour in workshops? Mr. WALPOLE said it was his intention when the bill was in committee to introduce certain educational clauses, but he thought the proper time to state the effect of them was when the matter was being discussed. THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG. An H 0.% MEMBER asked whether the Government had received any official information with respect to the re ported sale of tho Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to France ? _ _ _ Lord STANLEY said he must first give notice of his intention to put the question. TIIE REFORM BILL. Mr. GLADSTONE said ho had a question to ask, but as ho had not given notice of it he should not press for an answer at that moment. It was whether the Government intended to make any re-arrangement of the provisions of the bill now before the House before they went into com mittee on the bill, and also whether there would be any ob jection to lay on the table certain documents relative to the taxing franchises. No answer was given by the Chancellor of the Exche quer, and the question was then placed on the paper for Monday next. TIIE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. GOLDSMID called attention to the competition for the new National Gallery, and to the papers on the sub ject which had been laid before the house, and moved for a copy of any further correspondence with the architects and the First Commissioner of Works. Mr. GREGORY, in referring to the competition that had taken place in the preparation of the plans for a new National Gallery, said the failure of the competition was entirely owing to want of proper instructions. Mr. COWPER (Waded the couree that had been adopted, an,_ . was been pursufg,especially as it was not known even at the present time the exact number of rooms that would be re quired. If instructions had been given limiting the ar. chitects to a certain number of rooms of certain dimen sions, then, indeed, there might have been some cause for saying that the architects were to a certain extent fettered in the preparation of their places. At the time instructions were given the number of pictures to be ex hibited could not be stated, because it was desirable to provide for the future as well as the present. fie could not think that the competition had been a failur,e because a number of very valuable sug gestions have been made ; and although the was not one amongst the designs that was altogether satisfactory, yet materials had been given which hei thought would enable a building to be rrepared which would meet all the requirements demanded. Mr. B. HOPE defended the decision of the judges in not recommending any one of the designs submitted to them to be carried into effect. Sir J. GRAY, in a lengthy speech, called attention tp sonic recent observations of Justice Keogh at the Tyrone Assizes, reflecting on the conduct of the Donoghtnore bench of magistrates. From the documents Sir John read, the charge against the magistrates seemed to be that on the occasion of a collision between two parties of Catholics and, Protestants they committed the Catholics only fortrial, and discharged the Protestants, though the identification was equally complete in both cases. He asked Lord Naas whether it was intended to institute any further inquiry, and moved for papers. Mr. KNOX defended the magistrates, showing that the evidence before them proved the Protestants to have been guilty of no riotous conduct, and condemned Justice Keogh's hasty and intemperate language. Lord C. HAMILTON, who defended the magistrates and invited a strict inquiry into their conduct, sharply at tacked Sir J. Gray for his unfair misrepresentation and sup pression of evidence. After some remarks from Mr. Sta.uvls in defence of Justice Keogh, Lord NAAS deprecated strongly the tone of Sir J. Gray's speech, and stated that Justice Keogh had not yet brought t.lae-alectunstances uuderthe notieetisi the Laird as ho had pronlised, but when he did the Irish Govern te r: M - ment would make a strickinquiry hit° them. The c , .aversation, which lasted some hours, and was 'very discursive, and occasionally reethninatorY in its tone, was continued by Mr. Vance, Mr. Bagwell, Mr. Litt}pan, Mr. C. Forteseue, and Mr. Conolly. It grew still warmer when Mr. Sergeant Barry and Sir W. Verner digressed into the Belfast riots and the Orange Associations, and a very ex cited scene followed on a remark by Sir 11. Edwards that there wore "Fenians," or, as ho aftexwards qualified it, "Fenian sympathisers" in the house. Mr. Esmond° moved that the words be taken down, and the Speaker pronounced it to be highly disorderly and unbecoming to accuse any members of sympathising with what the house had stigmatised as a treasonable conspiracy. The Chancellor of tho Exchequer interposed, and made a strong appeal to Sir H. Edwards to withdraw the wurds, which he did subse quently in the fullest manner. Sir J. GRAY then proposed to withdraw his motion for papers; but, objection being taken to this mode of dispos-. ing of it, it was negatived without a division. Colonel UREVILLE-NUGENT called attention to the conditions of superannuation for the Irish Constabulary, and suggested that every constable after 25 years' service should receive a pension. Lord NAAS, in reply, pointed out that considerable ad-. ditions had recently been made in the scale of superannua tion and in the pay of the constabulary, varying from £6 to £ll a year—an arrangement which had considerably increased the cost of the force, and was very satisfactory to the men. The report of the Commission on the Irish Constabulary which sat last year was criticised by General Dunne and defended by Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen, and the house went into committee of supply, when A vote of £2,000 was agreed to for special rewards to the Irish Constabulary. The Alimony Arrears Bill was read a second time. The Religious, dm, Buildings Sites Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. LAWSON introduced a bill to facilitate the wind ing up of railway companies in Ireland. The remaining business was disposed of, and the house adjourned at 25 minutes to 1 o'clock. International Coinage. The Round Table thinks that if the United States and Great Britain adjusted their coinage to some sort of uniformity with that of France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy, it might lead to the exten sion of the system, at no very distant epoch, to the whole commercial world. Each of these four coun tries agrees to receive into its Treasury the gold and silver coins of the others, which, until January, 1880, shall, for the four, be one and the same, sub ject to certain conditions respecting wear and tear, to make its coins of a certain weight and size and of a certain fineness. In the preamble of the Treaty two reasons are stated for holding the convention : —lst. To remedy the inconveniences which p r upon the communications and transactions between the inhabitants of their respective States in conse quence of the diverse values of their coined moneys ; and 2d, to contribute, by the formation of a mone tary union, to the progress of uniformity in the weights and measures. The Round Table considers that there is not the least probability that Great Britain, with the invincible tenacity with which she holds to what is established, will ever change her system of coinage, to say nothing of weights and measures to adopt a French or any other sys tem. Indeed the heavens might as soon be ex pected to fall as the English to give up their £ s. d. and the Americans their dollars and cents to adopt napoleons and francs. Nor is this necessary or even desirable. Luckily, a very slight change in the value of the English sovereign would bring it into a simple relation with the napoleon, and this is really all that is wanted. The sovereig❑ exceeds in value one napoleon and a quarter by twopence, less than 1 per cent., and has a currency in France as a piece of 25 francs. By this slight change in the value of the sovereign currency could be given it as 25 francs on the Continent without loss, and the napoleon have currency in England as 165., thus making the gold coins of all those countries to all practical purposes, equivalent. Fortunately, Ame rica is nearly as favourably placed for equalising with these nations the value of her gold currency. The half-eagle a five dollar gold piece ex ceeds in value the English sovereign about 16 cents. It would exceed the sovereign, if reduced as proposed, nearly 20 cents, or about 4 per cent. Hence what is required is for the English to reduce the value of their gold coins 6 per cent., and the United States 4 per cent., practically to give a uniform gold coinage for the world. The Conti nent of Europe will follow the lead of France and England, and the United States would carry the rest of the world in their wake. It will be observed that this change does not disturb the units of cur rencies for their respective countries. The dollar will remain fur America, the pound sterling for Great Britain, and the franc for France, their respective units, and hence there would be no inter ference with the currency of accounts, and we may say generally, none with domestic money transac tions. As to silver coins, nothing need be done except to determine by law their value in relation to gold (as gold is the only standard), and as the relative value of gold and silver depends upon and varies with the supply of the respective metals, their relation will need adjustment, at any rate from time to time. All that would have to be done would be to make the silver coins corre spond with gold on the new standard. For example, let the half-dollar coin equal one-tenth the half-eagle, &c. The coins below the dime, as they have currency as tokens - without regard to intrinsic value, may be of nickel or inferior metal. The old Spanish and Mexican dollars would remain, as they are, articles of commerce, and be gradually absorbed by China and India. Any one that pur sues the subject will see to what almost perfect uniformity the slight changes proposed would bring nearly all the coins of the countries mentioned, thus affording us—the half eagle, equivalent to the sove reign or twenty-five francs; the dollar to four shillings or five-franc piece, the half-dollar to Eng liah or two-shilling piece, the quarter-dollar to one shilling, the napoleon to four dollars or six teen shillings, the franc to a double dime. A great advantage, the Round Table thinks, would be at tained in this reform in getting rid of the absurd anomaly of calculating the rate of exchangebetween England and the United States on the old valua tion of the dollar at 4s. 6d., which makes the real par of exchange about 9 per cent. above the nomi nal par, a source of constant confusion requiring to be explained, whenever the matter is to be brought to the comprehension of the uninitiated.
