C-1,1 e... y eil medicine vendere (Fro2a -the Morning Itemld of this lrey. ) When the Times and its correspondent "Merca tor" consider it necessary to enter the field of con troversy in defence of the Bank Act of 1844 it may be fairly assumed, we think, that a serious attack upon that measure is anticipated. We have entered into this subject in our columns from the sincere conviction that•the measure is one that claims the most profound attention that can be bestowed upon it in the coming session of Parliament. There is not au institution in our state, or a class or indivi duals in the kingdom, that is not directly of indi rectly interested in the money laws of the country. Why, it may be asked, do they exercise this uni versality of power ? Simply because no man can do anything without money. The law has ordained that man may toil, labour, and drudge on through his earthly existence, and accumulate productions without limit ; but the same law that gives him this freedom t o produce denies him the power to exchange. Can this be rational ? can it be in strict accordance with the fundamental laws of civi lised society ? The introduction into our monetary code of a system of restriction such as the country very justly complains of, is base d u p on th e narrow est of prejudices ; and, like every other system that I continually wages war against the interests of so ciety, it will give way before the growing intelli gence of the age. But to return to the Times and its correspondent, " Mercator," whose letter it re-echoes in its leading columns. This writer appears to have made a most important discovery when he states that " The trade a n d commerce of a country are carried on, not by means of its paper money or its circulation, but by moans of its capital ;" and he goes on to state that, "when pressure falls upon the trading community, it usually arises from some disturL ance of the due proportion between the extent of trading operations and the amount of capital by which those operations are to be sustained." If neither the paper money of a country, nor its circulation, perform any part in the trade and corn men:e of a nation, of what conceivable use can either of them be as forming parts of our monetary 60th Foot--Lient.

But a large issue of paper would not put us into this state. The paper once put into circulation would soon return to the Bank, and would be em ployed in draining from that establishment all its gold, to the uttermost sovereign, for the payment of those commodities which our fictitious and mo mentary wealth had induced us to order from abroad. The gentlemen who place the panacea for our distresses in a very expanded and elastic circu lation would not keep their bank notes in their safes, or at their bankers ; they would pass their notes as quickly and as widely as they could. But the slight est attempt to imagine the process is conclusive against its reality. It is not notes, it is not "Legall street, Diury-lane, newspaper proprietor—Jan. 4. W.
