MADRID ( From the Times.) We have received the Madrid Gazette of the Ist of April, which contains two very important articles, —a decree for a new loan, and observations on the decree for the convocation of the Cortes, both of which we subjoin. The Gazette has somewhat changed its colour. This is the first number since the death of the King which has been published without the broad black margin imposed upon it as mourning. " DECREE. " Her Majesty the Queen Regent, in the name of her august daughter, Donna Isabel 11., has resolved to adjudicate, publicly and by competition, between the companies, national or foreign, who may make offers, a loan capable of meeting the urgent wants of the state, under the following conditions : " 1. The loan shall be of the full amount of 200,000,000 of reals. "2. The proposals shall be addressed to the Finance Minister until the 30th of the present month of April. " a. The Finance Minister shall refer them on the same day to a junta, consisting of the Director of the Royal Treasury, the Director of the Sinking Fund, and the Director and Secretary of the Bank of San Fernando, who shall return the proposals, with their report, on the 3d of May next. " 4. On the same day they shall be referred to the Council of the Government, and the proposal which that Council may prefer as the most advantageous will receive her Majesty's approbation • the conclusion of the corresponding contract with the company making such propos4 being entered upon forthwith. " 5. The Government proposes to present to the Cortes, un their approaching meeting, measures for re-establishing the national credit on solid bases." MADRID, MARCH 31. A periodical publication of this capital, --- which appears only a few times in the course of a month, complains of the anxiety which many persons and writers manifest for the making of reforms, particularly in the political system. In refe rence to this subject, the publication takes occasion to make very correct and judicious reflections on the manner in which operations of this kind ought to be conducted, proving to demonstration that where re forms are precipitately made, so far from producing salutary effects, they only give birth to evils which ruin the present generation, and even some of those which succeed it. We shall not make any application of these princi ples, except to the decree for the convocation of the Cortes, which the wishes of some would have had already published, without reflecting on the great de liberation which so important and delicate a matter re quires. There must be taken into consideration-1. The nature of the fundamental laws of the monarchy, which it is neither lawful nor proper to disregard. 2. The latitude which those laws concede to the Govern ment for their modification. 3. What alterations may be made in them, consistently with the character of our constitution, and what alterations the information of the age and the present state and existing interests of the monarchy demand. It is publicly stated, that since the moment when it was resolved, at the end of January, to prepare the decree of convocation, until the present day, that is to say, for the space of two months, the labours of her Majesty's Government have been constantly devoted to this great object, notwithstanding the many other' important affairs which during the same interval have demanded attention. And this must be certain, as, ac cording to the statements of the journals, a reference is now made on the subject from the council of Go vernment to the council of ministers. Well, no one can deny that consideration is due to the observations of that respectable ,body—a body of statesmen who are bound to discuss deliberately the articles to which their attention is directed, and who must make the whole of the work and its several parts undergo an adverse exa mination, if it it be wished to construct a stable and solid edifice, not liable to be overthrown by the first hurricane,—which shall exist for future ages,—which shall convey this great gift of the throne, still safe and flourishing, to the remotest generations,—and which, in fine, shall now be, and in all time to come, the asy lum and sanctuary of liberty. Wherefore nothing less has been proposed by her Majesty the Queen Regent and her illustrious ministry than the attainment of these glorious and happy results. To secure them, it is necessary to unite to the love of improvement which contemplated such benefits, and to the talent and activity which can create, the dis cussions by which that which is created may be made perfect ; and this, as has already been shown, cannot be done in a moment. The festina lente of nature ought to be imitated in all the works of man, but more especially in political institutions, if it be not wished to make a destructive revolution instead of a great and beneficial reform. Dr. Doyle is fast declining into such a bad state of health as to require an assistant in his diocese. The Roman Catholic clergy meet at Carlow this day (Saturday), to nominate a coadjutor Bishop, and the choice will, it is thought, fall upon Dr. Nolan, of Car low College.—Limerick Paper. The three new Ministers have taken the fol lowing oath :—" I !wear that I will leave the King to reign and to administer in all things : that I will permit him to enjoy the first fruits of all telegraphic communications ; and that I will not take umbrage at his becoming acquainted before me with all news that may relate to my department."—Le Corsaire. AN EDITOR'S MARRIAGE.—The follow ing editorial notice is from the St. Clairsville ( Ohio) Gazette of the 22d ult., whose editor desires all his numerous readers,to rejoice in his happiness :—" ' It is pot good that man should be alone.' The editor has the pleasure of informing his numerous and respect able readers that he has taken a partner—not for one, two, or any term of years, but ' as long as we both shall live'—not for the purpose of assisting in the labours of the printing-office, but to participate with biro in ' life's joys and vicissitudes.' " The inquiry before the Municipal Corpora tion Commissioners at Colchester terminated in a manner as extraordinary as it is to be regretted, the mayor and town-clerk having on the seventh day re fused to attend the commissioner, in consequence of his animadversions on the conduct of the corporation. ,--77;:ssex Herald. fi le premium on gold at Paris is 54 per Faille, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10-. 1 2 d. the Pelle° for standard gold gives an exchange of 25. 28, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 25, it follows that gold is 3-25 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. y the advices from Hamburg the price of gala j.s 4341 per mark, which at the English Mint price of 11. 17s. 10-.ld. the ounce for standard gold gives an exchange of 13 94, and the exchange at Ham burg on London at short being 13. 8 1 1 , it follows that gOd is 15 32 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in f 40114011. O R Good Friday, in consequence of the wind Mowing very strong from the westward, and the tides being then about their extreme height, the water rose lyeweral feet above its usual level, and the lands below Ulverston were inundated to a considerable extent. ,Many wheat fields were entirely covered with salt water ; several walls and hedges were thrown down, end the road leading along shore towards the canal foes was in many places completely broken up, and in o th er s covered with gravel and large stones. The damage siotained is therefore very great. Consider able damage has been done at Roosbeck and Rampside, by the sea washing away portions of land in some places, and in others almost covering whole fields with stones and gravel. The sea was tremendous along the wc*t side of Walney, especially a little above the south end. The surf broke against the land in liquid moun tains, And the spray being carried high into the at mosphere, flew several miles before it fell. There is great reason to fear that the sea will make a passage across the island at no remote period. It is generally believed that this is the highest tide which has occurred since April, 1821. Westmoreland Gazette. THE MURDER OF MR. RICHARDSON— RE-.APPREHENSION OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER 6.— TWO men of the name of Child, who were taken into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Mr. Richardson, have been again apprehended in consequence of anonymous communications made to the magistrates at Epsom. The prisoners were cap tured at Bedfont, near Staines, with some difficulty, and underwent examinations on Monday and yesterday before Baron Tessier and Goss, Esq.

We published, yesterday afternoon, in a second edition of The Sun, an account (received by express) of some disturbances that had unex pectedly broken out at Brussels. The affair was got up in all probability by the agents of Holland, in consequence of the stud, belonging to the Prince of ORANGE, being ordered for sale. Eventually, however, tran quillity was restored. The following is the official account of the matter received this Lng (From the Courrierßelge.) BRUSSELS, APRIL 6.—The publicatioit of the lists of subscriptions for re-purchasing the horses of the Prince of Orange, seems to have excited great irrita tion among the working classes. Already, yesterday evening, there were some disorders on this account. When the company were leaving the theatre, where some individuals had loudly demanded that the play advertised for the evening should be changed, and that instead of Faust the Muette should be performed, a grouji of about sixty persons formed in the Place de la Monnoie, round the tree of Liberty, and the arrival of a considerable number of persons, drawn by curio sity, soon swelled the assemblage. The young men, the workmen, who had formed a circle round the tree of liberty, after having sung in chorus several patriotic songs, among which were the " Brabauconne," and the " Marche de Belges," proceeded to the Rue de l'Eveque, where they stopped before the house of a society, the foundation of which is said to be of a recent date. Stones were speedily thrown at the windows of the ground floor, amidst cries of " Down with the Orangeists !" " Down with the club of the enemies of the country!" and after all the frames had been broken to pieces, some workmen armed with sticks and hammers entered the house by the lower windows and broke the lustres and mirrors of the apartment which looks to the street. The post at the theatre having taken arms; a patrol of seven men, commanded by an officer attached to the staff of the place, speedily arrived in the Rue de l'Eveque, and the group which had been collected before the door of this society soon diSpersed and formed again in the street des Angustins, before the house where the Lynx is printed. There at least the authorities had taken some measures. A detachment of 30 men, commanded by a Lieutenant, was posted before the house that was threatened ; the burgomaster having addressed the group, they soon dispersed with cries of Vive la Ligne! Vive Leopold! It seems that some workmen have made a riot befor,e the house of the Duke d'Ursel. _ _ We are too seriously attached to the cause of Bel gium, we have too much at heart its glory and its honour not to deplore such scenes. But at least it must be hoped that the government will be able to day to prevent the return of these disorders. The go vernment would be wanting in the most essential of its duties if it were not on its guard, if it were not able effectually 'to protect persons and property?' It is, say some, because the late bravadoes of the Orange party tend to call in question what the na tional will has irrevocably decided—the indepen dence of Belgium ; it is because these bravadoes maintain agitation in the country, because they en danger the security of the city and its prosperity, and keep away foreigners, that the workmen are incensed against those who have signed the lists of subscriptions for repurchasing the horses of Terveuren. But do not these workmen see, that scenes like those of last night are a thousand times more injurious to the prosperity of Brussels than all the boastings of the Orangeists ? When property is pillaged, on whom falls the burden of the indemnity that is to be paid to the owners ? On the city. And if the magistrates now find it impossible to meet the expenses, and to continue the execution of the great works which have so powerfully contributed to draw strangers to Brussels, to what must it be ascribed, but to the scenes of devastation which we witnessed in 1830 and 1831, and to the indemnities due by the city to the victims of these disorders ? Of what consequence to us, the defenders of the national cause, are the vain boastings of the Orange party ? What can that party do against the will of the nation ? Have not all its acts proved that it is powerless and in sulated ? Without any hold in the country, without an organ in the Chambers, for its only arm the liberty of the press, of which it has made ample use, its journals have said everything,have dared everything, and there is not a provocation which they have refrained from using, not an accusation which they have hesitated to bring forward. Well, which has lost, the national cause or the Orange cause, by this liberty left to the journals of the dethroned family ? Answer. Is it not the Orange cause ? By loudly . proclaiming as it was enabled to do, its designs and its hopes, the Orange party has laid itself open ; it has unmasked itself. Its journals have sunk under the weight of public contempt. Let us then disdain the bravadoes of this party ; let us not give them an importance which they ought not to have, and if the scenes of yesterday evening were meant only as the prelude of new disorders, all good citizens have only one motto and one rallying word—Peace to persons and respect to property. P. S. '1 he greatest agitation continues to prevail in the city. This morning groups are again formed be fore the house of the Orange Club, in the Rue de l'Eveque ; some of the mob soon got intolhe house, which was completely gutted. At the moment of our writing the mob continues to break the furniture to pieces. It seems that all the efforts of the troops to prevent their excesses have been fruitless. Si milar scenes have taken place at the Hotel of the Duke d'Ursel, whose carriage has been broken to pieces and part of his furniture thrown into the street ; a commissary of police w h o s h owe d himself in the morning to harangue the groups and invite them to disperse, was received with hootings, and obliged to withdraw. But about 10 o'clock in the morning a detachment of infantry forced the authors of these disorders to retreat. Towards the same hour about ten children and some women had collected before the hotel of the Prince de Ligne, and threw stones at the windows ; this group was soon increased by a multi tude of curious spectators and some of the lowest population, and in a few minutes the house was entered and given up to devastation. The tables, chairs, mirrors, clocks, writing desks, and even whole beds, were thrown out of the windows, and as soon as they fell into the street they were broken into a thousand pieces by the mob. This scene of devastation had continued some time when a squadron of guards arrived in full trot, and two battalions of the sth Regiment advancing in double quick time, and the house was cleared., A considerable body of infantry and cavalry were then distributed, the infantry in platoons, the ca valry in squadrons, along the Boulevard of the Re gent, and in all the streets near the Park. All these forces were under the command of Gen. Hurel. The Infantry kept their bayonets fixed, but the cavalry in general paraded with their sabres sheathed. It is well known that the Civic Guard at Brussels has fallen into a complete disorganization, thanks to the supineness of the ministry and the partial dismay which followed the campaign of the month of August. Accordingly, no parcel of that guard was present, only the Chas seurs of Chasteler were under arms marching with colours flying. About half-past eleven 11, when the whole quarter of the Park was crowded with curious spectators, and with the populace, the King left his Palace on horseback, accompanied by four or five officers of the staff. He rode along the Rue Ducale, preceded and followed by an immense multitude, who made the air resound with cries of " Leo pold for ever !—Down with the Orangeists ! Death to the Dutch !" After having been to exa mine the military arrangements made to protect the house of the Prince de Ligne, the King proceeded to the Boulevard of the Regent, when he passed be fore the Regiment of Guides, drawn up in battle array, and then returned to his palace, constantly sur rounded by an immense multitude. The King was pale, and appeared to be extremely affected ; he at tempted several times to speak to the people, but his words (drowned in the tumult, and cries of " Leopold for ever !") could not be heard. We are assured, but have not been able to ascertain the fact that, at this moment, the scenes of devastation which took place in the Hotels d'Ursel and de Ligne have been repeated, in spite of the ef forts of the troops, in the hotels of the Marquis de Trasignies and of the Count de Belhune. This evening La Muette de Portice is to be repre sented at the Great Theatre. The playbill announces in large type, Spectacle damn& It is to be feared that this representation will be the occasion of new disorder. The Ilde la Belgique has only a few lines on the subject of the riots. The Lynx did not appear. One of our contemporaries (justly, no doubt) ascribes these disgraceful proceedings to the Orange faction, who will learn nothing by ex perience, and who are the more dissatisfied in proportion as the effect of the new order of things is felt in the restoration of domestic peace and prosperity, where discord and dissatis faction had for a long time prevailed. The public advantage is their loss. If they are so fond of the Dutch KING and his Government, why do they not repair to' Holland ? They will never restore the Dutch ascendancy in Belgium. The French Papers of Monday state that an officer has been despatched to Admiral ROUSSIN, with the official ordinance which assigns to him the portefeuille of the Marine, and orders have been transmitted by telegraph to Toulon, that a ship of war should imme diately proceed to Constantinople, to fetch the Admiral home. According to the Courrier Francais, letters have reached Paris from Spain, stating that the Spanish troops have entered Portugal. The date of those letters, however, is not mentioned ; and it was known that, up to Monday, none later than the 28th ult. had been received in the French capital. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance, founded upon a report of the President of the Council, by which the attributions of the home and commerce state departments are respectively fixed. The following are extracts from the German Papers received through France. There is Le in them of importance : The Augsburg •dazette of the 2d instant has the following of the 27th ult. from Frankfort There has been a report that the Polish refugees in Switzer land were about to join a party of revolutionists, and enter Frankfort on the 3d of April, in order to renew the disturbances of last year. Such a scheme would be madness. Two of our ultra-liberals, the author Sanerwein, and another very active member of this party, set-out for Switzerland yesterday. The political prisoners here express much repentance for their con duct ; they now see that they were but the blind in struments of a faction." This Gazette contains a letter from Rome, dated the 22d ult., in which it is stated that fifteen persons have been arrested in Rimini for being concerned in the re volutionary attempt in Savoy. It is said that the ex change of Benevent will be concluded while the King of Naples is here. Rome has never been so full of foreigners as at present. Not a lodging can be pro cured. Many of the services of the Holy Week will be performed in St. Peter's, the Vatican not being large enough to contain the throng of strangers. The illumination of the cross and dome of this church, sup pressed by Leo X 11., will take place this year. We have cold winds still. The Pope has ordered rain to be prayed for in the churches. It is in contemplation to construct an iron railroad from this city to Naples. The same paper of the 3d instant has the following of the 27th ult., from Coblentz :—" According to let ters from Nassau, it appears that this duchy is about to adhere to the Germanic system of commerce. This will be of great benefit to us, our port being the grand depot for the commerce of Nassau with Holland and the Rhine." The Gazette announces that the States of Saxe Meiningen were to assemble on the 2d inst. Letters from Naples state, that during the visit of the King of the Two Sicilies to Turin and Paris, the Duke of Salerno, his Majesty's brother, will ex ercise the regency.

The Due de BROGLIE has resigned, but the result has disappointed the expectation of those who planned and conducted the intrigue. M. DUPIN and M. MOLIERE remain where they were. M.

DUCHATEL, is actuated by most liberal opinions. Admiral de RIGNY, named to the Foreign-office at the suggestion of the Duc de BROGLIE, will follow the system pursued by his predecessor. The foreign ministers, supposed to have been impli cated in the plot, though not unaccustomed to dissimulation, cannot conceal their chagrin at this discomfiture of their projects. The Hamburg Reporter and other Papers of the 4th instant, have been received this morn ing. If we may credit a letter from Vienna, received at Berlin, the Confederates or Conspi rators there are resolved on raising forces to compel the canton of Berne to expel the Polish refugees from Switzerland. A note has been sent to the French Government, intimating that if Foreign, meaning French, interference, should be attempted, the Germanic Confedera tion will consider it as a declaration of war ! This is mighty fine, truly I The Holy Alliance are to interfere as they please in foreign matters, that is, in the concerns of independent States ; but if France stir a foot in their defence, it is to be deemed as a declaration of war. This is German reciprocity, we presume ; but if the Holy Alliance are ready for war let them begin—if they dare : BORSEN HALLE, APRIL 4. —The corn market this week has been without animation, owing partly to the holidays.

The assembly of the nobles of this go vernment have now had it inserted in the registers, and caused the diploma to be presented to the Prince on the 9th of this month. The Prince gave the following answer to the deputation who presented it to him : " Gentlemen,—l fully appreciate the value of the honour you this day do me. It will never be effaced I fom m memory. This is the fairest da of it find no words to express my gratitude y to you ylife, for " d BERLIN, MARCH 28.—A letter from Vienna says a courier had been sent to the Cabinet of the Tuileries, to bring to the French Government the declaration, " that if the canton of Berne, notwithstanding the order received from the Swiss preceding canton ( Vo rort), does not immediately expel the Polish and other revolutionists, the German Confederation will cause a considerable army of the troops of the Confederation to enter Switzerland." It is said to be further ob served, that Switzerland has placed itself in a hostile attitude with respect to the other states of Europe, by receiving foreign rebels and by its own demagogues. It is also said to be stated on this occasion, that the German Confederation wishes for no civil war in Switzerland, and therefore does not accept the offer of the Swiss Vorort to employ thirty thousand men against Berne, but that it will now act itself ; and, lastly, it is said to be intimated to the French Government, that foreign interference in this affair would be considered by the German Confederation as a declaration of war.

The following appeared in our second edition of last night, dated City, five o'clock : A considerable sensation was produced in the City this afternoon by the reported breaking out of a revo lution in Brussels. It appeared, however, that the news had arrived by express, of the existence of se rious disturbances there, but that they were occasioned by the efforts of the Orange party to raise subscriptions to indemnify those who have purchased the Prince of Orange's horses, which have been detined since the revolution, and were recently sold by auction, and which a short time since were sent to the Hague. The parties who brought the terms published their names, and thus the people were enabl e d to k now the adherents of the House of Nassau. Their houses were entered, and their property destroyed. Leopold, at the head of his Staff, was for some hours on, horseback, endeavouring to quell the riot which was, after some difficulty, effected, and when the news left all was tranquil. The report of another revolution depressed the price of Con sols late in the day from 91 to 90a; Belgian bonds from 100 to 98k, and the Dutch 21 per cent. to 50. As soon as it was ascertained that the Government of Bel gium was not in any way affected by the distur bances, the Belgian bonds rallied to 99, buyers, in private bargains, and Consols for the Account to 901 i. The news at first excited conside r able ala rm , whic, however, at the hour we are writing, has sub sided. The two vacant ribands of the Order of ST. PATRICK have been given to Lord LEI TRIM and Lord DONOUGHMORE. If the Supreme Power of the State were to order a number of sovereigns to be issued, con taining a fourth, a fifth, or a sixth part of gold less than that contained in the sovereigns now in circulation, - and the KI NG were to command, by a royal proclamation, that such sovereigns should pass in currency as of the same ex changeable value with the sovereigns now cir culating, the act would not only appear to be manifestly unjust, but the consequence of it would be to bring all the sovereigns now in circulation into the Mint, for the purpose of being recoined, so that they might not pass in ' currency for less than their actual value in ex change ; and the injustice would be greatly increased if the Mint were to retain the surplus gold, and return only an equal number of de based sovereigns for those brought in. But this is exactly what is done from time to time by the Bank of England, by the over-issue of its notes. The over-issue operates precisely as the debas ing of the coin would do in the case supposed, and sovereigns return to the Bank in order to escape from the depreciation that would be cast upon them, if they remained in circulation, exactly as the present sovereigns would return to the Mint in the case supposed ; and the Bank, not being aware that this is the cause why sovereigns come in upon it, continues to issue more notes, until the gold being no longer able to escape degradation by coming into the Bank, betakes itself abroad, to obtain for itself that exchangeable value in other countries of which the over-issue of the Bank deprives it here, and the Bank is then obliged to contract its issues until the exchangeable value of its notes be restored to a par with gold, in order to prevent the loss to which it is subjected by being drained of its gold ; and when the ex changeable value of its notes is thus restored to a par with gold, the drain ceases. We have been led to make these observations from reading what Mr. MUNDELL says in the publication from which we have already given some extracts relative to the debasement of the coin in the time of HENRY VIII. and EDWARD VI., which he contrasts with the over-issues of the Bank of England, and we beg leave to lay before our readers what he says relative to the emergency of 1825-6, and every money emer gency that has occurred within living memory : " The consequences of the money crisis in the years 1825-1826 are yet fresh in the recollection of every one. That that crisis was occasioned by the over issue of the Bank, and that every money emergency within living memory has been occasioned by previous over-issue producing a subsequent contraction of the currency, will be manifest from the following statement of the Bank issues at the period of such emergency, taken from accounts produced by the Bank Charter Committee. " First, 1793. " The amount of the Bank circulation in February, 1789, was 9,807,210/., and in February, 1791, it was 11,439,2001., being an increase, in two years of 1,631,990/. In August, 1792, it was 11,006,3001., being a contraction, in a year and a half, of 432,900/. ; and in August, 1793, it was 10,865,0501., being a con traction in two years of 547,150.* " Secondly, 1797. . _ " In March, 1795, the Bank circulation was 12,421,2601. In December, 1796, it was 9,609,3401., being a contraction, in one year and nine months, Of 2,811,920/.1. " Thirdly, 1810-1811. " The issues of the Bank in 1808 were 1,022,980/. above those of 1807. In 1802 they were 2,519,8001. above those of 1808; and in 1810 they were 4,264,430/. above those of 1809 ; being an increase of 7,807,210/. in three years, which was contracted 1,298,400/. in 1811. " Fourthly, 1815-1816. " There was in 1812 an increase of issue of 411,0301. In 1813 a further increase of 939,0101., and in 1814 a still farther increase of 3,710,070/. ; being an increase of 4,060,1101. in three years, while in 1815 there was a contractiop of 1,984,030/. " Fifthly, 1825-1826. " The Bank continued diminishing its issues, which were 28,915,940/. in December, 1817, to December, 1822, when they were only 17,165,9401. There was an increase of 1,955,750/. in December, 1823, and a further increase of 1,223,2801. in December, 1824, being an increase of 3,179,0301. in these two years, while money was rising in exchangeable value; which so lowered the exchangeable value of the currency, that (as is admitted by the late Governor) seven mil lions and a half of sovereigns were drawn from the Bank, and sent abroad, between October, 1824, and November, 1825, before the exchangeable value of its paper was restored to a par with gold ; but according to an account which forms No. 5. of the Appendix to the Bank Committee's Report, Its stock of bullion in August 1824 was £ 11,787,430 August 1825 X 8,153,110 so that in one year upwards of eight millions of gold were drawn from the Bank before the exchangeable value of its paper was brought up to the standard. " Sixthly, 1832. " The Bank circulation, which was increased 4 4 6 , 0 2, 0 32 6 , 0 0 0 /. 0 t L i h n e t y h e e ar s y e l a B r 2 s 7 1 a B nd 29 1 1 8 8 2 3 8 0 , w a a n s d diminished , i bnt was diminished againincr 30.01. in increased 1,918,1701. 18 March " , 1832, which was As the debasement of the coin obliged all so i ch d Vlth.,eto time give s o o f m H any EN m ß o Y re V or m lIL a u i more of their comm o diti es i n exc h ange f or the personsDvv EDWARD in debased than they would have given for the standard coin, so the over-issue of the Bank obliges all persons to give so many more, or so much more of these commodities in exchange for the depreciated currency arising from over issue, and when the over-issue is corrected by the contraction of the currency which causes its exchangeable value, positive loss is thus brought upon all capital engaged in works of industry. Hence it is that some men of moneyed capital withdraw from works of industry, and others re frain from engaging in them from the loss and the hazard of loss thus thrown upon all works of industry, and hence the growing amount of unemployed money capital in this country, and the increasing want of employment among the working classes thereby occasioned. We further beg to call the attention of our readers to the amount of the country circula tion, contrasted with the Bank circulation, as it now for the first time appears. From an account which we published lately, laid on the able of the House of Commons, it appears that the aggregate amount of the notes of country banks in circulation between th€ 28th August and the 28th December last, * Appendix to Bank Report, No. 5. t Appendix to Bank Report, No. 28. was only 10,152,1041., while from another a count, previously laid upon the table of t, House of Comm on s, it appears that ti amount of notes in circulation o f the nal of England, on the 31st August last, wf 19,629,7101., a n d th a t u p on the 28th D eco ber last it was 17,730,6301. We m i g ht her as Mr. MUNDELL h as d one distinctly , sh° that the over-iss ue i s a l wa y s w ith the B ank ' England, and not with , the country ba nks; we forbear at pres e nt t o d o mor e than c all t attention of our read ers t o th e a mount of the r lative town and coun t r y c i rcu l a ti on , and for ti further fact, th a t th e a lt erna ti on of exPal and contraction of th e currenc y is one le aual cause of the distress w hi c h h as prevailed, all continues to prevail, i n th e country. The noble warrior, whom the Unive rsit y . fi n ds p ° 1 Oxford has sel ec t e d as it s Ch ance llor, lack of supporters amongst the Doctors of e , vinity in Cambridge. There are some ° ln .; however, in the declaration against the ac llll , l t sion of dis sen t ers , w hi c h we hardly expe cted have found there. Mr. SIMEON, for instance, he who expresses so much liberality and is lo o % for the dissenters at public meetings Fe r n no portion of the clerical body is so adverse cane' the claims of the dissenters as what are ° h i e ' the Evangelical Clergy. This is not to honour, but reflects great discredit on thew, an - lessens their influence far more than they sup pose. Surely, if they refuse dissenters adinl sion to thei r Universities, th e y will n ot , °bje te e l to their havi ng one o f t h e i r own ? Let a c"jatht be granted to th e L on d on University, an to dissenters will probably give the preferenc b e re it, at least u n til a th oroug h re f orm sh all taken place in Oxford and Cambridge.
