Ma. tiotToa,--Vtn,en the venerable, net siMple VIeAR OF WAKEFIELD went to the fair, he met with a very ingenious gentleman, Who first talked to him of the scarcity of Silver, from whence the conversation toned . t 6 the scarcity of Gold; 'an order of discussion reversed at the present day, the scarcity of gold hav:og for some time had the pre cedence ; both, however, are likely to be cut Short, at least as far as Ministers can he blamed for the scarcity, amongst Honourable Members, by the u- expected) tiraillnde of the Master of the Mint, who opened a cross fire with so much effect, whilst the position of the Corps of Grumblers was stormed in front by the CHANCELLOR, at the head of the Bank light troops, under cover of a heavy fire from the great gains of Fort Investiga tion. In abort, Sir, so discomfited were the enemy that every blunderbuss missed fire—and, talking of blunderbusses, Sir, pots me in mind of a fowling piece, and so I will tell you a story. A few winters ago, an officer of the army, quar tered at Mullingar, in the sister island, went out for a day's sport, and hearing repeated shots on his approach to a bog, was Charmed with the idea that game was plentiful. On arriving at the spot, be saw a solitary Hibernian sportsman in the act of firing at a solitary snipe. The bird escaped. The officer fired, and the bird fell.—" Och, blood and oons," exclaimed honest Pat, " and it is you kilt him sure ; and why did you do so ? He would have lasted me all the winter !" Pray Sir, where shall our Grumblers find a snipe when the investigation is over ) Oh ! true ! I had forgot the increase of crimes ! and the severity of capital punishments. Butt, seriously, I shall offer, through the medium of your columns, two ob servations on the subjects - of the Bullion Ques tion and Capital Punishments, which, I trust, will not be undeserving the notice of both sides of the Houses of Legislature. In former debates and disquisitions respecting Paper and Gold, there has been great difference of opinion, whether Gold or Silver ought to be adopted as the standard of circulation. Now, Sir, 1 beg leave to suggest, that neither one or the other can or ought to be made a stan dard, for the moment that the price of 13u1- lion rises above, or falls below the Mint standard, whatever that mly be fixed at, then that species of Bullion, and in one case the coin itself, be comes a mere marketable commodity, without any reference, more than other articles in the market, to the real standard of circulation. That real standard is not to be found in gold in silver, nor in bank-notes ; but in the POUND STERLING,'us expressed in oral bargains, in tiler rhant's books and hills, in common receipts and payroents, and in all the various circumstances of Circulation both at tome and abroad ! But even standard is not unchangeable; since the Pound Sterling represents., generally, less 'labour, and less produce, than it did a century ago; but' then it does not fluctusate every day, generally only in regard to particular articles which may rise or fall in price (whilst others are stationary), including gold, silver, and copper. Of course, when Bullion rose so high, nobody ever consi dered the Pound Sterling to be depreciated, nor its value to be altered comparatively with any thing but gold or silver ; for the Pound Sterling, in an ace: - iunt incurred when gold was cheap, was consiJered as completely balancing a Pound Sterling in more recent accounts both in home and foreign accounts current ! Now, gold, silver, and copper, have value and use beyond their mere qua;ities of coined circulation ; the very nominal rise anti tall of their price in Pounds and parts of Pounds Sterling, are a convincing proof of the accuracy of thro theory ; but the Bank-note, which has no value beyond it 3 use, aR a repreSellnitive of what it expresses to he, can meet with no de- mind beyond 'bat use; and can therefore have no specific rise in efrilue ; whilst its being received in all cases as adequate to its expressed sum, ei- flier u liquidation of or bargains, of hook debts, of mer , •aotile bills, or of Governmeor taxes is an 1111 396Allable proof Ow it cannot he tinder any specific Ileterioratitm, as long as these circurn- St Tien exist . Let it be remembered too, that the Batik Di. tuctnrs do not stand at the corners of streets holtlittg out notes, as Qu-irks do putting hdls. They issue no notes without value tectfived; dor! those notes are annually received at the Treasury to the arn- ot of nearly three times the sons at any tittle in circulation. Exchequer Rills may be compore , i to Assignats, but Bunk_ notes nuder these circumstances never can, with any regard to truth or propriety. 1 shill take an early opportunity, Mr. Editor, Of ►►tfering the promised Observations on Capital Pitnisliment3.* Iu tl►e mean tintr.., 4111 yours; IGNOTUS.

ADVERTISEMENTS EXTRAORDINARY, JEREMIAIi TWIN'EM, next door to the Labour-in-Vain, No. 168, Turnagain-alley, Chard-lane, is happy to inform his friends who expect shortly to take their departure, that, under the impulse of the purest humanity, lie has brought to perfection his IMPERIAL EN T TRAC EA L SUSPENDERS, made of the softest cotton, inlaid with the bark of broom twigs, and twisted against the stream. Finally, they are superior to the finest hemp in the feel, and equal in durability—they will last a lifetime, and may even be useful to future generations. J. T. particularly recommends them to Gentlemen in the habit of complaining; they may be worn either in the House or out of it; one trial will suffice; and no Gentleman who uses them once will ever wish for any others. SITADRACH ERR-on, of the MINOR Amts,' No. 109, Gold smith, Silversmith, Dealer in Bronze, and Depreciation Scale Maker, particularly requests to inform his friends and the public, that Bank notes of the year 1816 are at a premium of 4 per cent. Persons who have not leisure to get them changed for Gold at the Bank ; or, having done so are ignorant of the way to the melting pot, may receive ail necessary information, and have their business done for a small premium.

Several oxen hate been given away, and a great gnantity of bread, so that it is supposed every poor family in the town has been relieved. • One hundred men are generally at work in the grounds, and lately there were twice that number employed by his Grace, on a hill near lioinlilate, whereon the Column stands, which will much improve the entrance of the town from the , otith.
