NATIONAL DISTRESS AND HOME COLONIZATION. On Friday evening a numerous public meeting was held at the Social Hall, John.street, Tottenham-court-road, to take into con. sideration the present distress of the country, and the necessity for the adoption of home colonies, as a remedy for that distress, with benefit to all, and injury to none. W. D. SAULL, Esq., took the chair. Mr. NIIWALL proposed the first resolution—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, the appalling distress which now mere or less afflicts every branch of industry in this country, is the result of numerous bad laws and misdirected arrangements, which confine the beneficial results of the present advanced position of scientific and mechanical skill, to the aggrandisement of the larger capitalists, whilst the mass of the industrious populatit.n, by whom the profits of the capitalists are produced, are sunk into the most abject state of wretchedness, and are left at the will of their casual employers, to perish in the streets and cellars of our towns and cities, without even food, clothing, or comfort, equal to that afforded to any ot h er labouring anim al. " In support of the resolution, Mr. N'ewall commented on the present state of the distress of the country. Especially, he referred to the statements :of the Hand-loom Weavers Committee last year, as to the wretched state of the weavers in the three kingdoms. The motion was seconded by Mr. Maas 10T and after the ex pression and explanation of some objections by a working man, who thought the part of the resolution relating to capitalists not sta. cientiv clear, the motion was carried unanimously. Mr. LLoVo Jones moved the second resolution :—" That in the opinion of this meeting, although the concession of a free t rade in corn, and other articles of foal, would very largely increase the traffic eft he nation, and augment *the resources ef the Exchequer, yet thegreat mass of the people would not be improved thereby physically, men tally, or morally, seeing the power of the manufacturers, derived from money and machinery, would still remain to enablelthern, in the fluctuations of a competitive market, to sacrifice the industrious artisan, in their blind desire to promote their own selfish interests." Mr. Jones remarked, that now the two great opposing interests of the country were contending about certain political measures, which measures were spoken of by each party in connection with the interests of the working classes, it would perhaps he well if the people themselves would honestly and calmly speak out their own opinions as to the motives of these parties, and as to the efficacy of the measures which are proposed by them for the relief of the public distress. The resolution states that repeal of the Corn laws would increase traffic. This he thought nobody could well doubt. But there was another question which the people had to decide, namely, whether an increase in trade, on the principles on which it had hitherto been carried on, could permanently or extensively benefit them.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Mr. Jones then went into the commercial statistics of the country to shew the great increase which had taken place in the trade of the country. in juxta-positionao which it appeared, that the greater the increase the more continual and corresponding had been the decrease in profit and wages ; and one fact advanced showed, that in the case of dyed and printed goods, which required the greatest labour, there the greatest diminution of price had taken place ; so that, by the returns of 11134, it appeared, that under the increase of de mand for these goods since ISM, above double the quantity of cloth was at thia former year given, for less money than had been received for half the quantity in the dear 1820 —(Hear, hear.) He insisted that it was unfair to predicate future prosperity front an extension of our trade, inasmuch as the past increase had not yielded prosperity to the people. The fact was, that our means of increasing our machine power was so great that we could over supply any demand ; glut the markets . ; thereby cause stagnations, which lead to a number of working men being thrown out of employment : competition for work amongst these men must follow; the cupidity of employers will least them to employ the cheapest, end thus must wages fall to the lowest point of subsistence.—(Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding, he would recommend all to look for a repeal of the Corn-laws. They were unjust in principle, and to a certain extent injurious in practice, and therefore ought to be re pealed. But whilst the people do this, let them not give sanction to the fallacies put forth by those who clamour so loudly fur the repeal of the Corn-laws, as the upholders of those laws find their greatest strength in attacking the exaggerated statements of those who are the professed advocates of repeal. The people (he said) must be honest to themselves. They must tell these parties that it is their own particular interests they are looking after, and not the interests of the working man.—(Hear, hear.) The working people must a far as possible take their own affairs into their own hands, and work unceasingly for the amelioration of their own condition. They must estimate every proposed change at its proper value, and then there would ant be that sickness of heart arising from disappointed hope. Their progression would be steady and rapid, and their happiness would be commensurate with the hopeful and living nature of their endeavours.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution being seconded by Mr. B•RNES, An amendment was proposed by Mr. Jas. HILL , " That amongst those bad laws referred to in the first resolution, there are none so oppressive and fatal in their consequences as the Corn and Provi sion-laws ; anti this meeting declares the total and immediate re peal of these odious imposts to be urgently required ;" which being seconded, and put to the vote, was negatived, and the original motion carried almost unanimously. Mr. SKELTON proposed the third resolution—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that industry must be ennobled by being rendered attractive; that for this purpose it is requisite to combine in due proportionsa land, capital, labour, and skill, and to ensure to each that just proportion of reward which shall stimulate all to the attainment of the united advantages of such a combination; that for these purposes, home colonies, or new townships, each adapted for the accommodation and permanent employment ef from 1,000 to 2,000 persons should be established forthwith, under the direction of the State, and subject to a guarantee of all existing interests; and, that thus, not only would the present resources of this nation its wealth, skill, and industry, be gloriously developed, but every difficulty of our present position would vanish like the morning mist before the effulgence of the noon-day sun, and health, wealth, and prosperity would make the hearts of all to re joice in old England." The motion was seconded by WILLIAM HALL, Esq., and carried unanimously. Mr. RI ALL moved the fourth resolution :--" That in the opinion of this meeting the measure on the subject of the Corn laws, announced by Sir Robert Peel as the organ of her Majesty's Government, is unstatesmanlike and contemptible; and failing as it does, after so much delay, to afford any prospect of relief of the distress of the country, is an insult to a patient and suffering people, and can only be viewed as an indication that the landed aristocracy of this country, now in possession of the reins of Go vernment, are destitute of all sympathy with the industrious class^s, and are resolved, if permitted by an outraged people, to persist in a course of selfish policy, which renders it necessary that the industrious classes shontd, as often advised, take their own affairs into their own hands, declaring their moral independence in a manner intelligible to all, and endeavour to persuade all men to work out their redemption in union upon the land, and avoid all servitude to the higher classes ; declining at the same time the use of taxable csmmodities, and withdrawing savings' bank funds to be invested in the purchases of estates, so as if possible to avert the impending awful physical revolution." The motion was seconded by Dr. LOSKE, and carried unani- mouily. After the adoption of another reso!ution, as to the presentation of petitions, and also a memorial to the Queen by Robert Owen, Esq., in person, the meeting separated. ROYAL INSTITUTION.—Mr. Richard King, the surgeon and naturalist, as well as for a great part of the time the sole conductor of the expedition in search of Sir John Ross, and author of the narrative of the journey, delivered a lecture on Friday evening at the Royal Institution, " On the Boundaries of the Polar Seas.' After taking a very rapid review of the progress of disco very from the 15th century to 1818, he dwelt somewhat at length upon the surveys made since that period by Ross, Parry, Back, and Messrs. Deese and Simpson. The survey of the latter officers, it appears, has fully confirmed the views the lecturer entertained in )836 of the polar coast south of the isthmus of Boothia, wherein he differed with Sir George Back. The melancholy suicide of Mr. Simpson has gives Mr. King an opportunity of again urging the Government to adopt his plan at a cost of 1,0001. only. This plan was given at length in TAe Sun of January 15, 1836 , but a part of the contemplated survey at that time has since been made, and a new line of coast has in consequence risen, in Mr. King's opinion, into importance in relation to the long-agitated question of a N. W. passage. ,Mr. King proposes that the Government should despatch an expedition, consisting of one officer and six men, towards the close of April, from Montreal, in Lower Canada, by the visual route of the fur traders to the Athabasca Lake, and, having obtained an Indian guide, make direct for the Fish River by a route well known to the Indians. on :the head waters of that stream It is proposed the expedition should winter, and having as certained the position of a tributary to the Great Fish River, which takes its rife close to the proposed s% intering ground, in the ensuing spring follow its course, and afterwards the main stream to the Arc tic Sea. By coasting along the eastern boundary of the Great Fish River e•tuary, Mr. K. is of opinion there will be no difficulty in reach ing the land of Boothia Felix, or, in case of its insularity, the Hecla and Fury Strait. In the latter case the northern eonfiguration of America will , he complete; but if the former should prove to be as Sir John Ross has described, it will be necessary b. follow that land to its northern limit, which will determine its connection with, or separation from, the land of Cape Walker. If separated from that land, and the dividing sea prove of any extent, the grand problem of a practical passage from the Atlantic into the pa cific by the Arctic Ocean is at once solved. Then the tending of the coast line of the Gulf of Boothia is but of minor importance; nevertheless, if the season be not too far spent, Mr. King con. siders it desirable to add its boundaries to our knowledge. A fire, which consumed the house and all it con tained, broke out on Tuesday morning at Mr. Peyton's, 5, Kent-ter tacc, Old Kent-road. The family all escaped to the adjacent house. Mr. Peyton Is insured in the Pheenix. 'Fire origin of the fire is as yet undiscovered. REGULAR AMAZON.—On Sunday, the 9th u't., M. Emilien, a young and dapper merchant's clerk, went with a party of friends to a masked ball. Emilien had, doubt less, in order to " get up his steam" for the exertions required from all the devotees of 'Terpsichore, refreshed himself with such copious libations before going to the ball, that when be ar rived there he could hardly manage to dance in time. He therefore, like another Pinson, amused himself by playing tricks upon those around him. Happening to pass by a quadrille party, in which one of the dancers was cutting the most absurd capers, our merchant's clerk seized him by the waist, eacialining "1f I had not caught hold of you, my fat fellow, yow.would have broken your head against the cor nice r The dancer (ungrateful fellow) only replied by giv ing our friend a blow in the stomach which stretched him at full length upon the ground. The young man, infuriated at this brutal assault, got up, and was about to rush upon the fat dancer, when the friends of the latter came to his assist ance. The companions of the clerk also came to the assist ance of their friend, and a general melee ensued. They all went out, and a fierce encounter would no doubt have taken place, hail not the cold night-air somewhat cooled their distempered brains. There was one exception, however. The young merchant's clerk, whilst the two rival parties were entering into explanations, darted angry looks upon the fat dancer, Rho, in return, flashed fire from his great eyes, which strongly resembled the two lanterns of an omnibus ! After a few taunting expressions, both rushed to the encounter. The clerk darted upon his antagonist, who, being equally on the also, gave the poor quill-driver a kick which stretched him on the pavement, and finished the business, by so batter ing his face with his fists, that the blood gushed; out in tor rents. At the cries of Emilien, the guard came up and ar rested the two combatants. On arriving at the station, judge of the seri:vise and humilia.ion of the merchant's clerk, when he found that the fat devotee of Teipsichore, by whom he had bren 5 ,, soundly thrashed, was one of the softer sex—in short, a woman ! by name Madame Eleonore ! Emilien, whose mas querade costume was completely spoilt, independently of the injuries inflic , ed on hi s person, cited Mademoiselle Eleonore before the Correctional Tribun a l, w h ere ho demanded 120 f. damages fur the destruction of 1 is costume and the expense of the b indages and leeches which he had been compelled to ap ply to his wounds. An amusing scene of recrimination and mutual abuse took pace in Court. The Amazonian Eleonore wa s finally sentenced to pay a fine of 25f., and 60f. damagez.— Gazette des Tribunaux. DIVISION OF TIIE NORTHERN CIRCUIT.— An arrangement has just been decided on by the Judges, by which the heavy busines of the Northern lessorthernhastCeirineutirtanwsacilltitb,ge sooner brought to a termination, with it, and consequently less dissatisfaction in the suitors than heretofore, York and Liverpool will form in fact, though not in name, a distinct circuit of themselves ; while by the Nor thern Circuit will be understood the counties of Durham, Nor thumberland, Cumberland, Westmoreland, and North Lanca shire. Mr. Baron Park and Baron Rolfe go to York to try. prisoners, While Mr. Justice Wightman proceeds to Lancaster, Appleby, and Carlisle alone, sitting in both Courts, civil and criminal, for the trial of prisoners and the hearing of causes. At Durham and Newcastle he will be accompanied by Mr. Baron Rolfe. . The Temps says, that the Committee oti the Budget bas this year derided on not dividing itself into sections ; but examining 'lithe details of that measure jointly. ANTI-CORN-LAW DELEGATES.

Ever since the plan of Sir Robert Peel was known, we have been in one continued ferment, and many have been the plans to show our abhorence of Sir Robert Peel's Sliding Scale. Foley, the Inspector of Police, and upwards of twenty of his men, were on Tuesday night here, on account of a report that Peel was to be burnt in effigy that evening, and also on Wed nesday evening. Last night they mustered stronger, and many in disguise, and fully expected they should make a job ; but the inhabitants of Bradford, we: e too wide awake. The effigy of the Premier was brought into the town by water, anti stopped just below the bridge, and every place that commanded a view was crowded to excess. The Judge and his clerk were landed on one of the slips formerly used by our manufacturers for washing wool, and now to exhibit and condemn the enemy of our trade and commerce. The effigy was brought down the river on a large scale with slides under it, so that it could be slid up and down, it being intended to slide it through the town, had net the police been sent for the purpose of entrapping the unwary. It was well tarred and feathered, and then with stone round the neck, sunk in the river. MEETING AT DARLINGTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-Our Anti-Corn-law meeting is just closed. We have not had such a meeting since the days of the Reform agitation. A large party of the Chartists were present, and cordially co operated in passing several stringent resolutions, condemning the injustice and cruelty of the Corn-laws, and the insult offered to the people by the Ministerial propositions. The re solutions and petition were put seriatim, and carried unani mously with great enthusiasm.—l am, Sir, your's obediently, Darlington, Feb. 17. T. A. C. RAILWAY RETURNS.

Sir Robert IL Gillespie, who being present on the race-course of Calcutta, during one of the great Hindu festivals, whin several hundred thou and people may be assembled to witness all kinds of shows, was suddenly alarmed by the shrieks of the crowd, and informed that a tiger had es caped from his keepers ; the General immediately called for his horse, and instantly grasping a boar-spear, which was in the hands of one among the crowd, rode to attack this formidable enemy ; the tiger probably was amazed at finding himself in the middle of such a number of shrieking beings, flying from him in all directions, but the moment he perceived Sir Robert, he crouched with the attitude of preparing to spring at him, and that instant the gallant soldier passed his horse in a leap over the tiger's back, and struck the spear through his spine. —The horse was a small grey, afterwards sent home by him as a present to the Prince Regent. When Sir Robert fell at the storming of Kalunga, his favourite black charger, bred at the Cape of Good Hope, and carried by him to India, was, at the sale of his effects, competed for by several officers of his division, and finally knocked down to the privates of the Bth Drarmons, who contributed their prize -money to the amount of five hundred pounds stet linw, to retain this commemoration of their late Commander. Thus the charger was always led at the head of the regiment on a march, and at the station at Cawnpore was usually indulged with taking his ancient post at the colour-stand, where the salute of the passing squadrons was given at drill and on reviews. When the regiment was ordered home, the funds of the privates running low, he was bought for the same sum by a relative of ours, who provided funds and a paddock for him, where he might end his days in comfort, but when the corps had marched, and the sound of trumpet had de parted, he reused to eat, and on the firs opportunity, being led out to exercise, he broke from his groom, and galloping to his ancient station on the parade, after neighing aloud, dropped down, and died. —Colonel Smith on the Horse, in tire Na tural Library. THE INDUS.—A correspondent, on whom we can rely, has favoured us with some interesting information as to the navigation of the Indus and the British craft now on it. Sir Alexander Burnes had thought that a vessel of four feet water might always ascend it in safety ; but it is found by ex perience that one drawing more than three feet water is useless, from the perpetual shifting of the river's bed and channel, and the peculiar formation of its bars. Vessels of that draught have ascended to Loodieana on the Sutledge, and could reach Kalabagh on the Attoek branch ; the Rava branch is navigable to Lahore ; end the Chcenab is believed to be navigable to a considerable distance from its junction with the main stream near Wultaun. There are at present only three steam-vessels, all of iron, on the Indus—the Comet, Planet., and Satellite ; the first of forty-hoise, the others of sixty-horse power. They draw thirty-six inches of water. A smaller vessel, the Meteor, is under repair at Bombay. Two of the Euphrates steamers, of fifty and forty-horse power have been ordered to Bombay, most probably for the Indus. The communication between Bombay and Kunatchee is kept open by the Indus steamer ; but it draws too much water for the river.— Sunday Paper. THE RULING PASSION.--All Ohl man was found drowned in a bog-hole, in the barony of Tyrawly, a few days since, with a sheep tied round his neck. It seams that he had been crossing the bog at night with the sheep, which he had stolen, on his back, and that falling into a bog-hole he was drowned before he could extricate himself. At the last Assizes for this county the deceased was arraigned for sheep stealing, and plelded guilty ; but he was allowed to withdraw his plea, and was acquitted by direction of the Judge, a flaw having been discovered in the indictment. After his escape then, he took to the same trade ; and at length met his death in the extraor dinary way we have related.—Mayo Constitution. HOPKINS AND DREWITT'S BANKRUPTCY. — ARUNDEL ItANL.—At a meeting held under this fiat, at the Nor folk Arms, on Monday, the 14th intant, the solicitor to tbeassignees laid before the Commissioners, for their decision, several cases in which two or more persons, jointly indebted to the estate, claimed to set off notes and cash balances (their separate property) against the joint debts, and vice versa, the consideration of which occupied the meeting till a late period; but the Commissioners postponed their final decision. We arc glad to find that, upon a mature examination of the accounts, they confirm the first statement, and promise a larger pro. bahle surplus than was then shown. The separate estates will, after discharging the respective claims in full, leave a cousiderable sur plus to pass to the joint account. A dividend of at least 103, in the pound, will be declared so soon as the law will permit; and we hear that notwithstanding the heavy expenses attc.neant on bank. ruptcy, from 18s. to 20s. in the pound will be ultimately paid to the creditor!: wits the probability of a surplus.--,Brightors Gazette. -THE WORLD.

The present system of " plugging," as it is technically term ed by Minters, which, by the illegal insertion of pieces of un • statutable metal into the gold coin of the realm, afterwards dexterously covered over with thin leaf-gold, reticle; s the coin light and falsified, has been of late carries' to such extent, more especially in some of our manufacturing towns, that Government have considered it incumbent upon them, before long, to call in all the gold in circulation, for the purpose of a general recoinage. Upon the character of this offence, as regarded by the statutes of the land, and the coin ages which have occurred at former periods of our history, we therefore advance the following comments, arising out of re search:— PLUGGING : ITS MEANING.—The word by which this prac tice is designated, takes its rise from the ordinary signification of the common word " plug," a derivative from the Dutch plugghe, or Danish plug, which means stoppage up of a hole or orifice. This, without further explanation, will be perceived to determine precisely the nature of the offence in question, as ex: plainer' above. OFFENCES RELATING TO THE COIN—Tt is not our inten tion, categorically, to sum upunder this head all the detrimental processes which have illegitimately been practised on the gold coin of the land, whether the offence has been felonial or tre sonable, but succinctly to notice such Act as refers to the pre sent system of " plugging" in practice—a system which, though specified under no especial word of that character, nevertheless, from the width of the terms. is easily found to be comprehended in the following of Queen Elizabeth with the due punishment attached to its perpetration, and passed in the 18th year of her Majesty's reign. The Act, referring to false moneyers for a variety of mone tary misdemeanors, 18 Elizabeth, c. 1, includes the offence of " plugging" under the generic term of " impairing, dimir fish ing, falsifying, and lightening," and the party offending is en acted to be attached of the crime of high treason. The bad practices of the moneyers had accumulated to such a degree in our history, so early as the twenty-sixth year of Henry 11., that it was then found necessary to place a per manent superintending authority in the Mint to check the growing evil, and the fabrication of money was then fixed at a standard purity, and an assay-master appointed for its protec tion and preservation. REWARDS FOR. AVPREHENSION OF OFFENDERS.— kfi the perpetrators of the present system of " plugging" are doubt less many, and the bringing such to light., and punishment a desirable service, it may be as well to make public to those who will give due notice of any such offenders, that the re ward for apprehending and convicting any person so offending against the statutes relating to gold and silver is 401., in order to obtain which, the Judge shall give a certificate of the con viction, and the Sheriff, on its being tendered, shall pay the same without fee, within one month after tender and &mend, on pain of forfeiting to the party, double the sum with treble costs, and the Sheriff shall be repaid out of the Treasury. FIRST GoLn COINAGE.—The fist gold coins of which we have any notice, were struck in the year 1257, by order of Henry 111. They were of pure gold, weighing two-pence, or sterlings, of silver, and were to pass for twenty pence. This "gold pennie," as it was called, was nearly the weight of a seven shilling piece, and it is said t' at " the King tried this expe dient of coining gold through necessity,' and also that " the City of London made a representation against the measur.t. " RECOINAGE OF KING WILLIAM'S REIGN.—This re-coin age, which amounted to the sum of 7,000,000/. sterling, was executed at the Mint of the Tower of London, as also at several country :Ilints, by way of co-operation, in the 7th year of William 111. An Act was then made for calling in all the old coin of the kingdom, and to melt it down and to re-.coin it; the deficiencies whereof were to be made good at the public charge; and in every pound coined forty pound was to be shillings. and ten pound sixpences, under certain penalties. Persons bringing plate to the Mint to be coined were to have the same weight of money delivered out, as an encouragement ; and receivers-general of taxes, &c.. were to ree.eive money at a latge rate per ounce. OUr guineas have been raised and fallen as money has been scarce and plenty, several times by _statute; and ann. 3 Geo. I. guineas were valued at twenty one shillings,at which they have ever since continued to pass. THE COINAGE DUTY.—On this last occasion also, a duty of ten shilings per ton was imposed on wine, beer, and brandy im ported, called the coinage duty, granted for the expense of the King's coinage, bet not to exceed 3,000/. per annum, 18 Car. IL cap. 5. Thls duty for coinage has been continued and advanced from time to time by divers statutes, and by a 7 Geo. 11. c. 11 (explained by 27 Geo. 111. c. 13), the Treasur' was ordered to apply 15.000/. a-year to the expenses of the Mint in England and Scotland. SILVER-FOTS OF THE COINAGE.--It is worthy of remark, that it is on record in the books of the Mint, that in the re coinage of King William 111. the pots of silver weighed 400 pounds Troy and upwards ; but every trace as to how this quantity of silver was melted is completely lost, and it is only conjectured that it was done in pots made of wrought iron. But not a vestige of a meltin g furnace, fitted fur such a pur pose, is to be found in the Tower, nor a single record of the method practised. • RE COINAGE or GoLn Ix 1774.—1 n the year 1774 and subsequent years, we had a general re-coinage of our geld cur rency, which forms a prominent feature in Mint history. The avowed object of this re-coinage was a reformation of the im mense quantity of light and defective coins then in circulation ; and the motive for doing so was to prevent the new and heavy coins from being selected from the circulation, and melted for the high price which the gold brought in the state of bullion. In fact, 41. of the gold coin then in circulation would not weigh more than an ounce ; and by reference to the prices paid by the Bank for gold, we find that this was the market price. The holders of Bank notes demanding Flew and heavy coins for them, required the bank to have a large coinage of gold annually to supply this demand. These coins were melted, and sold in the state of bullion to the bank for the high price of 41. per ounce. To remedy this inconvenience, the recoinage was compleled, and it had the effect desired ; for the price of gold, during more than twenty years, never ex needed, but was rather under the Mint price. The sovereign, or twenty-shilling piece, contains 1113.001 grains fine gold, and 1.2:3.274 grains standard gold. The pound Troy of standard gold is coined into 46 sovereigns and 89-129th of a sovereign, or into 46/. 14s. 6d. The Mint or standard pr ce of gold is, therefore, said to be 461. 14s. 6d. per lb. Troy, or 31. 17s. 101(1. per ounce. With regard to the denomination or value to be fixed on the coin which is to pass current. this, says Spelman, is lodged in the breast of the King ; and if any unusual pieces are coined. their value must be ascertained by proclamation ; I ut even the King's prerogative seems not to extend to the debasing or inhancing the value of the coin, below or above the sterling value. 2d Inst. 577 :—Though Bir Matthew Hale, 1 Hal. P. C., 194, appears tst be of another opinion. The King, how ever, has the power, at any time, to cry down any coin of the kingdom, and make it no longer current. 1 Hal., P.C. 197. spoken of. The last Committee to take into consideration 'he state of the coins of the kingdom, and to propose what improve ments should be thought fitting and necessary, was, in the year 1798, when Lord Liverpool sat at the head of the Committee, and who, in 1805, published his celebrated " Treatise on the Cuins of the Realm, in a Letter to the King," considered the most learned and inte-eating disquisition on monetary regula tions which we possess. Among the new principles endeavoured to be established by it were :-1. That the coins, which are the principal measure of property, should be compos. d of one metal only—that this metal should he gold—and that the ex penses of fabrication (i. e., the Mint expenses) should be taken out of the silver and copper coins. The forgery, detraction, or debasement of coin, is an offence that is practised more or 1-se at all periods. But to use the words of Mr. M'Culloch, the most effectual means of prevent ing these nefarious practices is to improve the fabric of the genuine coins, to cut the dyes with greater delicacy, and occa sionally to vary the form of the coins." That. authority fur ther adds, in corroboration of this remark, that " during the lengthened period of from 1770 to 1816, the genuine silver coins in circulation were so much worn and defaced, that it was difficult to distinguish between them and counterfeits ; which, in despite of the severest penalties, were thrown:nito circulation in immense quantities; But since the issue of the new coins in 1816, forgery and debasement have been comparatively rare, and the improvement of the coins has done more to prevent the issue of counterfeits, than could have been done by a dozen Acts of Parliament."
