t SPIRIT OF THIS PUBLIC JOURNALS. Last night Lord Althoip submitted to the House of Commons the result of his lingthened negotia tions with the Bank of England for the renewal of its charter—the conditions on whieh it is proposed to renew it, and the duration of the projected arrange- ITlP..nt,—together with en account of some collateral measures of commercial importance, intended to promote the securityof hanking,and to guard against currency fluctuation and panic. The Noble Lord not only stated, in a more perspicuous and metho dical manner than usual the details of the plan em bodied in his reeoltitiona, but explained the principle, and defended the policy, of each provision as he advanced. For some time past the projected ar rangements for regulating our Batik circulation have excited less "curiosity and interest than formerly, because Parliament having since the commencement of the session agreed by great majorities, arid after solemn deliberation, to adhere to our ancient s.andard of currency, and to insist upon the convertibility of paper into gold by whatever establishment it should be issued, the range of speculation and conjec ture has beta narrowed to a smaller compass. The discussion was no longer mixed up with the agitating questions of 1/. notes and restric• tion acts, but was limited to The extent in which the public ought to participate in the late enormous pro fits of threadneedle-street—the amount of exclu sive privileges which that establishment, if continued, should still 'enjoy—or the hest means of securing its good conduct and preventing a recurrence of its former errors, by a cumpulsory publication of its treasure and accounts at short intervals. Last year, abotit this time, when the Committee on the Batik question was appointed, and even after the publica tion of its report, vague and indefinite anticipations were formed of the immense changes in our mone tary System to which it might lead, and of the extraordinary pecuniary savings tolhe public which it might secure: The evils of the former conduct of the Bank, since 1797, were co great and so pal pable, that they could not be denied by its friend-, and could scarcely he exaggerated by its enemies. It was therefore expected that some grand experi ment must be tried, or some striking revolution ef fected, to guard against their recurrence; and it was not till after an effervescence of several months that the public mind was calmed, and the ideas of the people fixed down to something like sober calcula tion. But if such extravagant expectations are now thought impossible to be realized by the most sanguine, probably the proposed change described by Lord Abhorp is too limited for the most cautious. Though the particular occasion of re newing the Bank Charter «a. appropriately adopted for a general inquiry into the state of our paper cur rency, and the conduct of the country banks, it must be admitted that the only part of that in qiiiry in which the Bank of England was concerned related to the question, whether it was to retain the exclusive paper circulation of London and its vi cinity within a circle drawn at the distance of 65 miles around it, and whether there was to be any change in the regulation of its issues, or any de duction from its profits for managing the Govern ment business. All the other portions of its ex clusive privileges had been abandoned, though re luctantly, in 1826, with the exception of the right to which it still clung, of preventing joint-atock hanks beyond the magic circumference from draw -1 ng bills of exchange for sums less than fifty pounds, or making their promissory notes pay able in the metropolis. If it was thought advisable that this monopoly of the Lon don circulation should be withdrawn from one great private establishment, then another question of the greatest importance occurred in which the country was as much interested as the Bank— namely, whether the Government should establish a national bank on the plan recommended by Mr. Rt.. eardo, Mr. Joplin, or others ; or permit the esta blishment of as many joint stock banks of issue in the metropolis as chose to start up to contest the profit of supplying us with their notes. It is plain to those who have bestowed the slightest refleei ion on the subject, that if the former part of the alterna tive had been adopted, it would have rendered ne cessary a change in the whole system of our circula tion,—that it would have been little short of au absurdity to have formed a Goveinment banking in stitution, without giving it the exclusive supply of the country as well as the metropolis,—that there would have been only one bank of issue, as there is only one mint for the whole of the kingdom, and that all provincial notes, as well as those of the pa rent establishment, must have been withdrawn. In this case, all the interest on notes now issued by private banks would have been secured to the public. Private speculators would no more be allowed to issue paper money than to coin the precious me tals, and all the profits and risks of a mighty and untried experiment would have been enjoyed or in curred by the nation. Without undervaluing the merits of this magnificent project, or denying the force of the arguments by which its authors have supported it, we must confess that in our view it is liable to many objections, some of which were well stated by Lord Althorp, and that we would rather incur the loss of the interest and profits made on na tional tanking, than hazard the experiment of a national bank. The other alternative of dispensing with one privileged central bank, and permitting the erection of numerous private joint stock banks of issue in the metropolis, never appeared to us to possess advantages equal to its risks. The nation, on this suppoiition, could gain nothing by the amount of bank-notes in circulation any more than at present, as all the issues would be for private profit, while the hazard of excessive issues, and con sequent fluctuations and panics, would be inevitably increased. The example of Scotland, and the result of the operations of the clearing house in London, can by no means satisfy a prudent legislator that the experiment would be safe in this metropolis, while it has literally nothing to recommend it above the existing system but its alleged additional security. If we are thus compelled to reject the project of a National Bank, wit h all its flattering promises of public profit (which, by the way, some Parliamentary dis ciples of Mr. Ricardo have exalted far above the estimate of its author), and if we see no gain, but some hazard, in permitting several banks of issue in the capital, the only question which the Govern ment had to determine, was how to make the exist ing establishment in Threadneedle-street the most subservient to the public service,—under what regu lations its notes can ba rendered most secure and its issues least floctuating,—and what is the lowest re muneration for which, in consideration of its mono ply, it can perform the Government business, in circulating Exchequer-bills, in receiving the public revenue, and paying the public creditor. Hitherto, or at least up to a recent period, its conduct with respect to the management of the currency has been marked by the grossest ignorance, and has produced the most extensive mischief, raising and depres sing property by the fluctuations of its issues, and altering the fortune of every mart in the kingdom. It has been chiefly enabled to perpetrate such evils by the mystery in which its affairs and proceedings have been involved. The remedy is, therefore, publicity, and, this, accordingly, is part of the Government plan. We must insist, however, that the quarterly publication in the Gazette shall not be an average of the state of coin arid bullion de posits and circulation for the previous quarter, but that it shall be a faithful copy of the weekly returns made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer uumuti hoed and unabridged. The gaius of the Batik have for the last thirty years been enormous, and the nation has reason severely to condem n the improvi dence or the prodigality of the Government which gave it th e benefit of the last contract. From 1807 to 1822 its proprietors divided 10 per cent. on their capital, besides adding to that capital 25 per cent. in 1816, and receiving numerous " God-sends" at various times, under the name of a bonus. Sin ce 1797, when the Bank Restriction Act was passed, to the present time, besides the dividend of 7 per cent. existing at that period, this establishment has distributed among its proprietors, in the shape of bonus, paid in the form of additional dividends, or invested in additional capital, the enormous sum of 17,318.0761, besides retaining still a re served fnnd or rest of neatly 3,000,0001., which re mains undivided! Thus have the Bank proprietors in about 30 years pocketed or accumulated more than 20.000,00 W. sterling, in addition to the con tinued interest of 7 per cent., which was paid on their capital at the beginn'ng of that period. They now receive a dividend of 8 per cent., and have, as we mentioned, a rest of nearly 3,000,0001. In this dividend is included 251,0001. for their services in paying the dividends on the national debt, bur nearly all their profits result from their monopoly. We have therefore reason to he dissatisfied with the economical part of the Government arrange ment, by which the Bank only allows the country a deduction of 120,000/. in the expense of this part of its management. But as we shall have other op portunities of exposing this part of the bargain, we shall only at present refer to an able pamphlet, enti tled, "An Impartial Inquiry into the Bank Qu-tioa, by a Merchant," for an account of what the Bank gains by conducting the Government business. The deduction on behalf of the public ought to be 200,0001. or upwards, instead of 120,000/. We have left ourselves scarcely any space to express our opinion of the collateral measures which accompany this contract with the Bank, and which, though perhaps not direc►ly intended, must all, with the exception of the 25 per cent, reduction of their capital, co-operate in their favour, and promote the extension of their power and wealth. The making of its notes a legal tender, except at the Bank itself or its branches, must extend its circulation in the country, where its notes will displace the reserved ►reasure of gold in the coffers of the provincial banker. 'We see at present no objection to this provision as regards the security of our currency, but we think that its obvious profitable result ought to have been taken into consideration in demanding better terms for the public. The most beneficial part of its operation will be in a season of a partial or local panic from internal causes, while the foreign exchanges are in our favour, and while there is abundance of gold in the country to answer all de mands except those of an unreasoning and unrea sonable alarm. At such a period it will be aided by that wise relaxation of the usury laws proposed in the same plan, which will have a tendency to induce capitalists to lend their money, and res , ore confidence, by enabling them to cover their risks by additional interest. Had capitalists been enabled in 1825 and 1826 to avail themselves of such a regula- tion,they might, by seasonable accommodations, have shortened the duration or diminished the inten.ity of the panic. The provision for the formation and re gulation of joint-stock banks in the country, both of issue and of deposit, may meet with some opposi tion, but seems in the main unobjectionable. There should, however, be some rule to guide the Go vernment in granting or refusing a charter ; other wise a door will be opened for caprice on the one hand, or suspicion on the other. We have only room to add, that had the terms of the arrangement with the Bank been otherwi , e unexceptionable, the duration of the contract for twenty-one years, with the option of terminating it at the end of ten, %iould have met with general approbation. The proceed ings at the Bank of England yesterday, if not so in s ructive as those in Parliament relative to the same question, were at least more amu , ing. The parts of the Directors and of the speakers seemed to have been skilfully got up, and Mr. Lloyd could nut have acted his betterthough he had been moved by springs or prompted will language from the Bank parlour. If there was any concert, as there seemed evidently to be, the other proprietors should have been in formed of the fact, and thus have been prepared for giving the seeming unanimity all the importance which it deserved, and no more. Though none but the actors are admitted to the Green. room, stranger, sometimes enjny the privilege of getting behind the scenes.— Times. In the House of Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward his promised motion on the subject of the Bank Charter and the banking system. After a clear detail of the sentiments of the Government, and the motives which had led to the adoption of the plan, his Lordship moved a string of resolutions, in which the details of the plan were embodied ; but, as the sub•tance of these re• solutions is given in another place, it is unnecessary, that we should repeat them here. Mr. Baring, Mr. Grote, and others, expressed their approba , ion of the general principles laid down by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and of the proposition to make Bank notes a legal tender except at the Batik and the branch banks. Mr. Baring, however, declared that the intention to give publicity to the accoun•s was calculated to produce the most it effects, while, on the other hand, Mr. Grote maintained that continuous publicity was the course best adapted to secure and justify the confidence of the nation. Mr. Hume contended that the proposition to make Bank notes convertible into gold at the Bank only would drive the gold out of the country. After some further conversation the House re sumed, and the further debate on the resolutions was adjourned. From the tone of the House of Commons, as well as from that of the city meeting, it is evident that the plan of the Government is likely to rece;ve the sanction of the Legislature.— Morning Herald. The plan of his Maj-sty's Government for the future regulation of the banking and monetary sys tem of the country, was yesterday promulgated at a meeting of the Proprietors of Bank Stock, and afterwards in greater detail, and accompanied by more elaborate explanations, by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons. The plan now fully before the world is calculated, as it ap pears to us, to give a steadiness and security to the circulation which will be advantageous to the public. But, whatever opinion may be entertained of its advantages or disadvantages in a national point of view, there can, we imagine, be but one opinion as to the benefits which it is calculated to confer upon the Bank of England as a separate body. The surrender of 120,0001. of annual income required of the Bank, is to be reduced by the excess of interest which it may fairly be ex pected to make beyond the rate paid by Govern ment upon that portion of its capital which is to be restored to it. Allowing the increase of interest to be one per cent. upon this sum of 3,625,0001. the Bank will gain upon this score 36,2501.; so that its immediate pecuniary loss is reduced to 83,7501. in stead of 120,0001. Arid for this the advantages bestowed upon the corporation in the safe channels provided for in indefinite and immense increase of its issues must be at least an ample compensation. We say not this with any feeling of displeasure. The Bail( of England has from the first moment of its institution deserved well of the country, and our apprehension was rather that it would be dealt with by the present Ministers too hardly than too indulgently. Ttiere will, however, we have no doubt, be considerable clamour among a certain class of the friends of Ministers, on account of what these friends will not fail to call the bad bar gain entered into on behalf of the country. For this the Ministers must be prepared, as unquestion ably they deserve it. It is, indeed, the proper pu nishment of having such friends, and of having per mitted them to expect that in an important national transaction their principles were to be followed.— Morning Post.

NEW BANK CHARTER. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) The CHAIRMAN said that the Directors felt themselves justified in recommending the adoption of the propositions, supposing that the measur.s of the Chancellor of the Exchequer be carried into effect by the Parliament. What the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed rescfrct ing the country banks, in which an encouravement was given to joint-stock banks, must increase the circulation of the Bank of England, and, therefore, if the measurrs be carried in Parliament the Directors would recommend that the propositions be adopted. Mr. LLOYD then rose and said, if he understood the answer of the Chairman, the plan of the Government, as then detailed, was recommended for the adoption of the proprietors by the unanimous voice of the Directors. (Loud crier of " Hear, hear.") After such an expres sion of opinion on the part of the Court of Directors, it would naturally be expected that some expression of opinion should emanate from that Court of Prupriet ins If the question hail been for the first time before the minds of the public, it would not have been expected that they could have made up their minds ; but as such was not the case—as the question of the Bank Charter had been fully betore the public for the last twelve months, he did not see any reason why they should not at once consider the plan. (Hear, hear, hear.) It was eviden ly founded upon the evidence which was given before the Committee of the House of Commons by men of the greatest experience ; and as he thought every one present had well studied that evidence, they would now be well acquainted with the plan before them, and of course ready to come to a conclusion, which, in his opinion, would be at once to give it their cordial approval.—( Hear, hear.) It was nut a question merely of pecuniary interest between tie Government and the Bank—it involved the general interests of the whole community. The prin cip ml question wag, would the plan place the monetary system of the country upon a safe, sound, and satisfactory basis.—(Hear.) When they had considered that, then they might come to the consideration of a secondary ques tion—whether the plan was founded upon the true prin. ciples of economy. The first part of the plan was the renewal of the charter. Exclusive privileges of any kind were not at the present day in good favour with the public; but it was to be remembered that the only ground on which monopolies were to be found fault with was when they were found to be prejudicial to the inte rests of the country, and that there were some monopolies, which, so far from being pernicious to the public, were actually of great use, and surely they were to be looked upon in a different light. No one would now like to see the liberty of coining in the power o' every individual—every one must acknowledge that for the country it was a roost beneficial monopoly in the hands of Government. Then mite ) , the same principle ought to be carried into effect in the monetary system of the country, which was a subject nut less delicate than that of the coin. Surely it was most proper that the whole management of such a delicate business should be plat. d in the hands of a Company which was at all times responsible—upon whom the responsibility might at once be fixed. If the currency was issued in excess, they were well aware that the party assuring might make a profit, but the effect would be the ruin of the country. He was glad, therefore, that the main feature in the plan proposed by Government was the exclusive privileges that the Government did not give way to clamour, which was not founded in reason. The proper control over any body was unquestionably found in publicity of the concerns of the body. It was, therefore, with infinite satisfaction that he saw the Government had placed the control of the parish in their dealing with such a delicate subject under the control of publicity. I would relieve the Directors of a great load of respon sibility and from a great deal of odium, which the close system necessarily made them liable to. By these means the greatest benefit must he secured to tie public, who would also derive an advantage from this tact, that they would have reason to keep a wa ch upon the future fluctuation of the currency. His view of the propositions and of the principles by which they were characterised was, that they were wise, salutary, and efficient. They were calculated to give greater power to that body in the discharge of their duties. The first was that which should make Bank of England notes a legal tender by all parties except by the Bank of England. That was an important, wise, and judicious regulation, for if it be expedient that a paper circulation ; for the purposes of economy and convenience, be substituted for gold, every person, for the public good, should he compelled to receive it.— (Hear.) It was clear th mt the pa“ntnt in gold by the Bank alone was fully sufficient, and that any farther power to demand gold would only have the effect of mag nifying the evils which might result from any mischievous opet ation of thy monetary system. The next regulation was rasher of a mule prospective character, v.a., that by which the effect of the usury laws was suspvtided, so tar as re lated to bills having three months to run. It was unnecessary to use any arguments in order to show that these laws were founded entirely in ignorance. (Hear, hear, hear.) Bu when they looked to the state in which the affairs of t..e country were involved, he thought it would not be prudent to select the present tio,e for a total abolition's mt those laws. There was, however, agm eat incon venience experienced at the Bank at times when tl e demand fir money Was so great as to inske its value exceed five per cent., for at those times it was clear that the Bank was either compelled to refuse or limit its discounts or to extend its issues, both of which were evils that ought to be avoide He thought, upon the whole, that the pr, posed ma nagement of the monetary system of the country,. was founded on sound and just principles, as it would be placing that management under one body, and that Ludy c. strolled by sound and sa unary r-gu• lations. On the groun s which he had stated, he had no hesitation in saying that the plan was one most fitting for their acceptance. As a matter of s condaty import .nce, he would now adver t to what were to be the pecuniary matters between tree Government and the Bank. Time first proposition was, that 25 per cent. on the present capital of the Bank should be repaid. I was of es, n•ia importance to the public that the capital of the Batik shout.' be of that amount which should secure its responsibility, but it was not desirable that that capital should be carried to an amount beyond what was absolutely necessary. He tmelieved that the caplal, as now proposed, would be found fully aaequate to the public service. Time next regulation that was proposed was, that Government should from hence forth pay to the Bank 120,0001. less for transacting the public business than they had hitherto paid. That was a large deduction, certainly, from the sum that was now received by the Balk ; but all that that body could rea sonably expect was, such a remuneration for the perform ance of their duties as would compensate them for the employment of their capital. Upon this point ire would say the Proprietors might place a full— he might say, a blind—confidence in the discre tion of the Court of Directors, feeling confident that they would not wish them to recommend them to adopt a proposition for a less sum than they ought to receive. Under all the circumstances of the case, it appeared to him that the plan was one that that Court might satisfactorily adopt. It placed the monetary arrangement on a safe footing, and it was characterised by those principles of fairness and libe rality which were due to the Bank of England. He gave the Court of Directors his most full and unqualified approbation for their conduct; and be congratulated that Court, that while in respect to ocher great ques tions now in agitation, parties interested in them and the Government were in collision and hostility, yet, as regarded the affairs of this Company, ti ere was a happy prospect of coming to a satisfactory conclusion— (Hear, hear)—and that whatever might have been the conduct of Government upon other subjects, upon the pre sent one it had enlisted s..un.l and honest principles, and had been unyielding to any popular clamour.—(Bear, hear.) When the Government thus adopted such principles, it should Meet with a cordial and hearty co-operation, nor ought that Court to forget that great and important as were the advantages to be derived from wise and salu tary changes, the present was a case in which property to a large amount was daily changing hands. Surely on a subject of such delicacy, and of such great importance as the monetary interests of the country, suspense and uncertainty must be a great evil. When, there fore, a prospect was held out of coming to a speedy and satisfactory arrangement, it was incumbent on all parties to make some sacrifice—to make some advances towards so great and happy a conclusion.—(Hear, hear.) He thought, therefore, they would ill consult their own interests, and imperfectly discharg e th e i r d u ti es t o the public, if they interposed any unnecessary delay in carrying t h e proposed plan into execution. The Hon. Proprietor concluded by proposing the following resolution : " That this Court fully approves of the course pursued by the Court of Dir•ctors in their negotiations with the Cbancelliir of the Exchrquer reipecting the renewal of the privil-ges of the Bank of England, and authorises them to come to a final arningetnent, founded on the letter this day read by the Chairman." A PROPRIETOR, who we understood was Mr. Jait es Campbell, seconded the resolution. Mr. F. Yousa sal i he would he as concise as possible in his observations on a question of such vital importance, which could only be decided on monetary principles. lie agreed with the Hon. Mover in some of his observa tions, but he differed with him in the conclusions to be drawn from the propositions that had been submitted to them. He thought it was a subject of great alarm to throw all the responsibility of providing gold for p tper upon the Bank of England --(Hear.) He looked at it with great alarm, because be saw that no part of the country was to be compelled to hold a single guinea to psy any engagement but the B ,nk of England, and they were to be compelled to pay not only in London, hut at all their Branch B inks throughout the coup ry. They all knew well what was the consequence of an alarm--in those cases the people thought their bes• means of defence was to run for gold ; hut now all that the country banker would have to do, would be to give Bank of England note• when money was dein ,niled of him, and the Bank of England would have to find gold for those notes. He did not value their monopoly, which had been charged as being so obnoxious, for he had no fear bf the monopoly was done away with. He wanted no such protection. feeling confident that the means and the credit of the Bank would always command success without any monopoly. He tl.ought it impossible to do justice to such an im portant question, and he suggested the txpetlit ncy of adjourning the discussion. As to the return of their capital, he n• jested to its being paid back in sit.all pro portion. If the Government wished to take their capital, let them take it and pay for is ; nut while they were diminishing it they were diminishing the only se curity they had to give the country. Tne propositions would open the door of mischief to the middling classes of the community, which was calculated to produce a great loss to the Colt pany. He hoped, therefore, that they would have amp e time to consider propositions which went to affect the whole monetary system of the country. An HoN. PROPRIETOR coincided in the views taken by the last speaker, and in reference to the panic of 1825, which was greatly aided by a simultaneous demand by the country hankers on the Bank of England for gold, said that the present propositions, if adopted, would, in his opinion, iead to a similar result. Mr. HAMMOND wished so know whether the plan bad been adopted with or without any correspondence with the Chanc.llor of the Ezehequ,r ? . . . The GOVERNOR. slid that he and the Directors had had many interviews with the Chancellor of the Exehe• quer, but no correspondence, and the plan had been founded on those interviews. Mr. WINTER could not agree with the motion that had been prop .sed by the Hun. Proprietor (Mr. Lloyd). The plan proposed by Government, in his opinion, was greatly objectionable ; it would effect great alterations in the monetary system of the country, would throw the great weight of procuring bullion on the Bank, and would have a tendency to increase panics in the Court. He saw no benefi . from any of the propositions of the Chance.lor of the ExcheTier to the Batik, and if no benefit was to he derived, it would, in his opinion, be better for them that their charter should be put an end to. But could it be put an end to ? He claimed, as a Bank Proprietor, the lights the law conferred upon him. What was the law up , n the subject? Why, the law said that the Bank should continue to be a Corporation until all the debts due from Government to the Bank should be discharged. He claimed that right, and in doing so he felt satisfied that he should promote the iritereats of the proprietors better than by acceding to such a proposition as that which had been proposed by the Go vernment. The Bank wanted no favour from the Govern ment or the public ; they hail der ved far more benefit from the Bank than it had derived from them.—(Hear, hear.) The charter must either be continued, or the debt due from the Government must be paid to ihe Bank --(Hear, hear)—and if it was paid. the Bank would possess a capital that would defy all competition.—(Hear.) The measure proposed by his Majesty's Ministers wag, in his opinion, prepo.terous. The Bank notes were to be made a legal tender to a certain ext.nt, and in the same breath the Government took one quarter of its capital from the Bank, on whit h the iasu- of notes win founded. The proposition with respect to certain bills not being subject to the usury laws, gave, in his opinion, great benefit to the country hanker, by allowing him to discount notes at a larger discount ; but the old lady in Threadneedle-street, as the Bank was called, who was to provide every thing, would derive no advent rge whatever. He trusted the Court of Proprietors would not sanction such a plan with out great consideration, and would therefore urge the ex pediency of an adjournment to a future day. Mr. WEEnote thought it would be m.instrouP on the part of the Court of Proprietors to come to an immediate conclusion on this, to them and the country, great and important measure. What was the proposition of Mi nisters? Why, that the Bank should have all the risk of a run for gold, and no benefit in return. Tney were to be deprived of 120,0001. annually for managing the Go vernment business. At present they received for that duty 178,00(11., 120,0001. of which was to be taken away. What, he would ask, would become of their dividend of 8 per cent. if such an event took place? The proposition of Ministers was one that ought not to be adopted without great deliberation ; and he should there fore move, as an amendment upon the tno , ion of the Honourable Proprietor, that the papers should be printed for the rise of the Proprietors, and that the meetingshould adjourn to 'gouda), or wane ether day that would be mo.e convenient.—(Loud cues of " Wednesday.") He would name any day that would be most convenient to the Di rectors and Proprietors. The GOVERNOR thought if it was the opinion of the Curt that an adjournment should take place, it had better be to Wednesday, as he was afraid he could not get the papers printed, and in the hands of Proprietors, at an earlier nay. Mr. SELWYN was in favour of the adjournment. A PROERIETOR wished to know whether notes of less value than 51. were to be issued within 65 miles of London. Th. , GOVERNOR said, decidedly they were not. • . Another PROPRIETOR. wished to know whether 13. inking Companies estahli•hed in London, and not issuing notes at the resent moment, would have the power of doing no. The GovEßNott said they certainly would not. The GovERNOK then put the original m dion, and amendment to the meeting, declaring the latter to be carried. The meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday next, at 2 o'clock. SUMMER ASSIZES.

James Moore, a young man of fashionable appearance, was in icied for stealing two rummers, the property of Thomas Clayton. Mr. Thomas Clayto❑ deposed, that he is landlord of the King William IV. public-house, in London -street, Green wich. Of late he has lost a number of glasses, and could not detect the thief, although be had taken the precaution to have his name and address cut upon all his glasses. On Wednesday last a policeman called upon him, and showed him two rummers, one of which witness instantly iden tified as his property. Witness went before a magistrate, and the prisoner was committed. The prisoner, in defence, stated, that he was drunk at the time, and could give no account as to his possession of the property. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Chairman sentenced him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour at the treadmill, at Brixton. Mr. Clap ton then applied to the Court for his expenses. CHAIRMAN—I am sorry I cannot allow you your ex. penses ; the magistrates ought, when they took your depo sitions, to have bound you over to appear and give evidence. Mr. Clayton—l have not only sustained great losses by frequent robberies, but I have been obliged to neglect my business. CHAIRMAN-1 cannot help it.

Mr. Clayton then applied for the money he had paid out of his pocket for the indictment and swearing his witnesses, which was refused. STATISTICS OF THE DEAF AND DUMB. _ France, with its 32,000,000 of inhabitants, contains 20,189 deaf and dumb : that is to say, 1 in every 1,585 of the population. In Russia the returns give 1 in 1,548 ; the United States of America, 1 in 1.556; for all Eurt the proportion is as high as lin 1,537. With regard to the education of the deaf and dumb, it appears that on an average throughout the whole of the civilized world not above 1 in 24 have the means of instruction : in France, however, the proportion educated is lin every 4. We take these facts from the third circular of the Institut Royal des Sourdsmutts de Paris, sent to all the esta blishments for the deaf and dumb in Europe, Ails, end America. INSOLVENT COURT, MAY 31. Arthur William Morris, High Bailiff of the city of Westminster, B Ailiff of the Sanctuary of Westminster, Le'see of the Manorial Rights under the Dean and Chap ter of W stminster, &c. &c. &c., appeared before the Court on his petition to be discharged from his debts, amounting to 17.0001., and was opposed by Mr. Nicholls, on behalf of Mr. Robert Mason and wife, executor*of Mary Chapel], and by a Mr. Barry for Mr. William Adams, a grocer, and creditor to the amount of 1681. ; and was supported in the matter of his petition by Messrs. Cooke and Wood roffe It appeared that the insolvent became High Bailiff of Westinins , er in 4806, by purchase, with consent of the Dean and Chapter, having paid a large sum to nis pre decessor, a Mr. Browning. for the situation. His offices, as observed in the in , roduction, are numerous, and his sources of profit, consequently, various, and sometimes very valuable ; the most profi able being terined—p.,s, fines, fines on jurymen, incidental fines arising out of Cour s of R quests, and fines on the goods of feions living and convicted in Westminster. For his to inorial rights, and various other rights of fine, he pays 100/. per annum, the grant being, from the Dean and Chapter of West minster. Its receipts in some years, including all profits, he stated to have been as high as 3,000/. ; while in others, they were as low as three hundred vim's. These sums formed the extremes in either way. In one parti cular year, he was most fortunate in his profits, the fine imposed on Sir Minassah Lop• z having been so heavy, that it proved to him (the insolvent) a rich soiree of emolument. At another period, his expectations ot a rich p 'fit were greatly raised, but, in the tesult, were disap• pointed. An of lady, it appeared, who was possessed of a large fie tune, went into a shop, on pretence of milt ing some purchase-, and stole a piece of lace, of the paltry value of one shilling She was detected with the lice in her pocket, in hich it was discovered that she, at the sone time, had several thousand pounds sterling ; and having been brought to trial, she was convicted. The insolvent, in cons quence, expected to receive a large sum of the forfeited property (ruin the Treasury ; but his claim proved to be unsustainable, owing to its having appeared that the convicted was not domiciled in We.tann ter when the rot,- bery was committed. He felt satisfied, heoliserved, with the decision of the Treasury. It further appeared that his net income, in 1831 and 1832, did not amount to muse th in 4001., while his rate of living amounted to 1,5001. or 1,6001. He attributes his insolvency partly to his hiving become security to Government, to the amount of 7,01101., for a friend, who, in his capaciy of Receiver-General in one of the departments, became a defaulter ; and that sum the insolvent, though greatly to his own inconvenience, most bonoutably discharged. He also, in part, attributed his insolvency to his having lost about 3,0001. by the West minster elections, three of which latterly proved unpro ductive, the candidates declining to deiray the expenses. Since 1829, he added, he has not received any large sums by his offices ; and that, in consequence of his difficulties, he has been retitle. d to the necessity of mortgaging some of the profits of them. The insolvent was declared entitled to his discharge. MONTHLY MILITARY OBITUARY. Lieut.-Gen. Trench, from R. Mar. Lieutenant-Colonels—Boteler, R.

MONEY-MARKET, FRIDAY EVENING.- The meeting of Bank Proprietors broke up too near the termination of mercantile business in the City to allow any opinion on the merits of the new Ministerial plan to be collected from the moneyed interest at large. It is quite safe to say, however, that the terms offered are thought to he at least as good as the Bank was entitled to, or was conceived to have any prospect of obtaining. The private bankers, as may easily be collected from the sentiments de livered by Mr. S. JONES LLOYD at the meetin4 . , who may be presumed to represent them on the occasion, are well satisfied with the new plan. Of the willing acquiescence of the country binkers also there cannot be much doubt. All the facilities of private banking will be extended by it, in its dispensing with any provision for a stock of gold, while the suspension of the usury laws, and leaving no limit to the rate of discount on bills not having more than three months to run, will he highly beneficial in their transactions with their depositors. Of the con fining the issues of bank notes to one establishment for tl e metropolis and its vicinity, we do not hear any complaints, but the necessity is not so readily admitted for prohibiting joint stock batiks and private banking esta blishments with more than six partners within sixty-five miles of London. Such banks would have afforded greater security for depositors of every class, and con (I have had tin other ill effect, if notes were not issued, than of dimi nishing the profits Nf banks already established. Trie pro posed mo 'e of giving publicity to the transactions of the Bank of England is a good aeal obj .cted to, in ;much as it is understood her. to be the intention of G verninent not to publish the weekly accounts col eciively, or an abstract of them, at the end of the quarter, but to make an average merely of the stock of but ion and i-sues of notes, which will leave the mon-yed interest at large nearly in us great i,norance as before of the real state of the Bank. Nobody, except the proprietors of Bank Stock, thinks the deduction of 120,000/. a-year from the allowance for transacting the Government business to be too much. In fact, there are statem nts in circulation to show tnat the offi cial accounts of profit fron► that source are vet) , much underrated by the Directors, and that they could very welt aff , rd to make a touch lager deduction. One of the objects of greatest curiosity among the Bank pro prietors themselves, has been to ascertain in what way their interests wound be aff•cted by the proposed repay ment of 25 per cent, on their capital lent to Government. Stipp sing the stock to be worth, say, as a round number, 2001. the effect will be this—that each proptietor will receive 25/. in money on each 1001. stuck, and will then be left with 751. stock, which at the same rate would be worth 150/. only, arid he is consequently, to appearance, a loser of 25 per cent. But if the same rate of profit, or a greater is to be made by the Bank, then the dividend taking place in the reduced capital may possib y be 10 instead of 8 per cent., which will place the pro prietor in nearly the same situation as before as to the market value of his stock. This, how ever, is a contingency not very safe to be taken into the account, as the Directors under the new system will find it prudent to keep a large reserve, anti not divide to the extent of their profits. That the making bank-notes a legal tender will be a protection against panics, artificially or with fraudulent motives created, seems to be pretty ge nerally admitted ; but on a great fall in the exchanges, or the occurrence of any real danger, it is held equally cer tain that the Bank and the country too will be placed in a situation of touch greater jeopardy than under the old system. In conclusion, it may be quoted as a very cur. rent prediction in the city that the new plan will lead to a great extension in the issues of paper of every description. Its influence on the value of Bank Stock has in the first instance been unfavourable. Toe price was yesterday 197, and it left off to-day at 192 to 194 ; but there has not yet ben sufficient time fur the bearings of it to be understood.— Times. ANECDOTE.—The minister of a neighbour ing pariah wa+ called some time ago to effect a reconcilia tion between a fisherman of a c,rtain village and his help mate. After tying all the arguments in his power to con vince the offendio hu.band that it was unmanly in him ,0 chastise manually his beloved cora sposa, the minist, r concluded—" David, ye know that the wife is the weaker vessel, and ye should have pity on her."
