OF the 8,800 e xisting Members of the Equit able Society, upwards of 3,000 were excluded from the division of profits to the Ist January instant. The next period of division will be in January, 1840, when some only of those now excluded, who shall then be alive, will be allowed to participate. As in the course of the last year the attention of the favoured Policy-holders was successfully called to a system, originating with this Office, by which a further addition to their Policies was rendered certain : so the Directors are now prepared to submit to the Assured generally, a plan for realizing to the 3,000 excluded members a great part of the benefits of which they are at present deprived, and to the select 5,000 members the means of securing the full advantages to be derived from their situation in future divisions. A Prospectus, prepared exclusively for the Members of the Equitable Society, and detailing the plan in all its branches, as applicable to the different classes of Assured, may be obtained at the Asylum Company's house, '7O, Cornhill ; where the Resident Director will be happy to give personal attention and explanations to any Members of the Equitable who may favour him with a call, or will transmit a Prospectus, with written elucidations, by post, to any one who may think proper to send him the date and amount of his Policy, and the age of the Party.

If the Estate is not sold in whole, it will be sold in Four different Lots, as formerly advertised. The Land Rental and Feu-duties of this Estate at Martinmas, 1828, were 4,64 81- 2s.

RUSSIA, TURKEY, &c. (FROM. OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.) " PARIS, FEB. 2. " A variety of rumours, which have not the meri of being very consistent with each other, have been for some days industriously circulated to favour the idea that a rupture is at hand between England and Thissia. It is said that England has already ad vanced, or at least is about to advance very con- siderable sums to her ancient ally—the Porte, for the purpose of enabling that power to pay the in demnity stipulated by the treaty of Adrianople. Other accounts, while they agree as to the advance of the money, for it seems never to be imagined that the praise of England could be withheld from a friend in need, make bold to assert that she means to serve other interests with it than those of Russia, and that the fulfilment of the treaty has never entered into her calculations. To support this last idea the parties refer to the indefatigable exertions of the Sultan to re-organize his army, and to restore the losses sustained by his fleet at the battle of Navarin. The splendid reception which was lately given to the Russian Ambassa dor at Constantinople, and the mission of Halil Paella to St. Petersburgh, are regarded as the mere manoeuvres of Turkish diplomacy. The os tensible objects of the Turkish embassy, which has actually set out from Odessa, travelling with a train of 35 sledges, by way of Moscow for St. Petersburgh, are said to be the speedy evacuation of Turkey in Europe, and especially of Bulgaria, which by the richness of its soil forms one of the principal resources of the Turkish empire. His Excellency, it is understood, is also to solicit that the terms for the payment of the indemnity be postponed to more distant periods than those stipu lated in the treaty ; and, it is alleged, that on these conditions he is authorized to offer the guarantee of France and England for its ultimate fulfilment. The letters from St. Petersburgh, on which most of these rumours are founded, state in strong terms, that not withstanding the Sultan's apparent readiness to exe cute the conditions of the treaty, his sincerity is more than doubted at the Court of Russia, where the strongest suspicions have been excited by the preparations now making at Constantinople, as well as in the provinces, and particularly on the frontiers of Persia. To counteract the designs which are thus apprehended, it is stated that the Russian army, instead of - being reduced to a peace establish ment, is to be considerably reinforced ; and the orders which have lately been transmitted from St. Petersburgh to the provinces, respecting the levy conscripts, are boldly stated to be the immediate re sult of the present state of the Russian relations with Turkey. " ' When the Turks take up arms,' it is said in one of these letters from St. Petersburgh, dated the 15th inst., we shall follow their example, and " for this time our armament will have a double oh " jest. On this subject certain engagements are " spoken of as having been entered into through the " mediation of the Persian Prince, who was lately " in this capital with the Shah, his father, in " which a certain contingency which was then " anticipated has been duly provided for. The " perpetual plots directed against our cabinet by " England may greatly accelerate these events, and " lead on our side to a diversion against her In " dian Empire. When we think, in fact, on the " universal discontent which reigns throughout " these countries; on the fermentation sometimes " open and sometimes concealed, but which never " ceases, in Ireland; and on the sufferings under " 4 which the manufacturing and agricultural classes " are on the eve of sinking in all parts of Great " Britain, it is easy to understand that such a 4" diversion would place the cabinet of St. James's " in a very embarrassing predicament.' " I repeat these rumours not because I place any credit in them myself, but because they are received with more attention than they appear to me to deserve, by many intelligent individuals in 4- 1 country. " The anticipated discussion of the question which must arise on the address, is still the favourite topic in the drawing-rooms of Paris. The friends of the Ministry say they are now sure of a majority in the Chamber of Peers; but it is whispered in various quarters, and the report is every hour gain. ing ground, that this majority is still to be secured by the creation of a further batch of at least thirty additional Peers. The Chamber, which at the period of the restoration contaia6l only 91 members, has now to boast of a phalanx of 367 ; of whom 76 were created in 1827, 23 in 1824, 60 in 1819, and 87 in 1815. The official Journal of the present Ministry, in its zeal for the royal prerogative, does not hesitate to declare that when the two addresses from the two Legislative Chambers are presented, if one of them should evince a refractory spirit, it will be disregarded; or, as the Gazette rather quaintly expresses it, the Minister will put it in his pocket.' " At the same time, to keep up the spirits of the party, it is contended that of the nine elect►ons which have taken place since the Bth of August, five of them have produced the return of Royalist candidates, while the minority of four only are in the interest of the Opposition. To this it is answered that such a view of the matter is neither fair nor well founded, because, in point of fact, six decided Royalists have vacated their seats, while three only of the late va cancies occurred in the ranks of the Opposition. They defy the advocates of the Ministry to question the zeal of four of the new Members ►n favour of liberal opinions, viz. Messrs Bose, Hernoux, Guizot, and Legendre; while on the other hand even Burger fils, the last nominee of the Minister, is far from being a sure card in the hand of the Cabinet ; and the sentiments of M. de Chartrouse, another of the five, are understood to waver at least, if they do not already discover a more decided leaning to the side of liberality. The death - of M. deVedici, the Prime Minister of the King of Naples, was yesterday communicated by telegraph, and was immediately announced on 'Change, where, with the single exception of Mr. Rothschild, it was universally believed. True or false, it produced a decided fall in the price of Nea politan stock, but it is somewhat remarkable that the Gazette of last night does not even mention the circumstance. M. de Medici must have been 72 years of age. His death is said to have taken place at Madrid, to which capital he had accompanied the King, his master, or rather according to the Consti tutionncl, the King, whom he has governed for the last eight years, under the direction of M. de Met ternich. His death is said to have been occasioned by great personal exertion in preparing for the despatch of several couriers; immediately after which he was obliged to retire to his apartment, where next morning he expired. " It is stated in the Constitutionncl, andother Libe ral Journals, that there is a division in the Cabinet on the subject of the speech from the throne ; and that the party of the congregation, as it is called, having ascertained the total incapacity of M. Guernon de Ranville, are now seeking for a pretext to get rid of him. " Four o'clock.—lt is stated in private letters from Vienna that several important changes have just taken place in the Austrian Cabinet, which it is said will materially affect the diplomatic relations between that country and France." SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. There are some things about the East India Com mittee which we do not like. Directors of the Company have no business to be members of the Committee, as is by this time, we believe, pretty sensibly felt by those who have the fortune to be their colleagues. The Committee ought to have been so constituted as to ensure a majority in favour of the renewal of some of the most odious provi sions of the Charter, and this by a Minister who professed for himself and his fellows that they had not made up their minds upon the question, pro or con. Neither ought the friends of free trade, by what we can learn, to be over-delighted with the Chairman of the new Committee, if it be true, as is roundly asserted, that the Hon. Gentleman had pre viously declared himself an advocate for the East India Company. This sort of management does un questionably put forth an awful Bohea flavour. There is a third point to which we request the most immediate and active attention on the part of all those commercial and manufac turing interests throughout Great Britain, which have pronounced the Indian monopoly to be a serious grievance, but which seem— whether from lack of diligence or from a superabun dant confidence—to have confined their efforts to harangues and resolutions in the country, neglecting to appear, at least by r epresentatives,here in London, where the battle must be fought, if it be not already more than half decided. But the point we would advert to is this—that the great question of the China trade and tea monopoly, where the pith and marrow of the whole contest lies, will come on in the House of Commons Committee so early as to- morrow, when two supercargoes of the Company's factory at Canton are to be examined. This all important branch of the subject comes ou, we are assured, most unexpectedly early to those who, in the different parts of England, are bound to oppose the pretensions of the Leadenliall-street mono polists ; so that few or none of the deputies from the outports are now in or near to town. We do not suppose that a part of the ques tion so voluminous as the China trade can be finished, with whatever eagerness it may be pushed on, before the great towns of the kingdom have time to witness at least some share of the proceed ings; but it is too much that the inquiry should be launched and in motion in the absence of those whose interests it so vitally affects,—that the Com pany and its well-instructed supercargoes should have the vantage ground thus conceded to them, and an ex-parte impression made, which cannot, perhaps, by any subsequent effort be obliterated. We ad monish the out-port delegates to hasten to the scene, and to act with vigour, good will, and harmony, o r the same inexorable incubus which has fixed itself so long upon the sinews of British commerce will be fastened on us again for a period of which none liv ing may hope to see the termination. It were to be wished, we must repeat, that a Committee, osten sibly chosen to " inquire," should have been con stituted in a manner less exposed to even an unjust suspicion that their business was really to decide. — Times. The pastoral letter, which will be found its another column, addressed by the Roman Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland to the Clergy and Laity of the Church over which they preside, will be read, we doubt not, with the attention which it merits, and by all reasonable and well-disposed men, with the same satisfaction which we have ourselves received from it. The cry of Anti-Catholics has been from the beginning, that the Iri,h Priests could not be conciliated by emancipation, and would never cease to be political incendiaries, employing an influence over the laity which nothing could impair, to ends destructive of the public peace and safety. Our answer was, that the Irish priests, in so far as they were citizens, would, like other citizens, be gratified by the redress of their wrongs; that the same bad spell of injustice and oppression which had dis turbed the laity, and bound them in one confe s deracy with the priests, would, by its dissolu tion, extinguish that confederacy, and not merely se parate, for all political objects, the laity from the priesthood, but the members of the priesthood from each other. The recent Limerick election fulfilled the latter and most unpromising branch of the above prophecy, when the Catholic clergy took opposite sides, the larger portion of them voting for Mr. Dawson, the least popular candidate. But a de monstration, altogether irresistible, of the healing power of the Duke of Wellington's Bill, stands on the face of the pastoral letter, which gave rise to these observations. It is a document which breathes in every line the most edifying spirit of loyalty, of the interference in temporal politics, exhibited by the Catholic Bishops before the grant of Emancipation, are fairly stated in this production under their signatures, and tl:c tluly of henceforth confining their activity to the spiritual and pastoral functions of their callings is distinctly recognised on their own behilf, and earnestly enforced upon the whole body of the Irish Church. After this, we shall be told, perhaps, that nothing has been gained by Emancipation. Much, doubtless, would it profit the country—more, indeed, than we expect from such a source—if the learned Drs. Magee and El rington were to follow the charitable precedent now established for them by the prelates of " a Church" which we are told is " without a religion," and to exhibit some better proofs of their own religious spirit than those derivable from bitterness of lan guage against the professors of the creed which they condemn.—Thid. Sir Francis Burdett declared last night, that " he . - - was aumpus to remove an impression that he did not sufficiently appreciate the motion of the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, and he was always ready to say that he had a full value of the great and merito- rious efforts of the Honourable Gentleman." We certainly do not wonder that Sir Francis, on reflec tion, should have been anxious to remove such an impression ; for in his fervour he spoke of retrench ment in a way which it would not be easy to justify. " Nothing (he observed) which the Honourable Member for Aberdeen could propose—and he pro- posed twice as much as any man in the House—(A laugh)—could relieve them. It was the grossest folly to believe, indeed, that any relief could come from such sources." Now, although it is not, per haps, quite fair to tie a speaker down to the literal meaning of every word he utters, yet there runs throughout the whole of Sir Francis's speech a magnificent contempt of economy, quite in accordance with the above passage. But the Honourable Baronet is at issue with himsel when he runs down economy and cries up de preciation. lie cannot suppose that changing- the value of the denomination would make the nation one whit richer. We are unwilling to suppose him de sirous of inflicting an injury on creditors, even though the class to which he belongs (landowners) usually rank among debtors, and conceive that he peaches the striking at creditors generally because he cannot otherwise reach the public creditors and the different servants of the State. But the lower- ing salaries, reducing establishments, &c. is one great object which Sir Francis must aim at accomplishing by a depreciation. Whatever lowers the burdens n;ust, therefore, be a relief, even on his own show• ing, although not so great a relief as some people might desire. This was clearly put by Mr. Peel. " Certainly (said the Right Hon. Gentleman), he inferred from the speech of the Hon. Baronet that he meant to vote against the motion.—(Hear, hear.)—Undeceived as to his error, he should say that he could not agree with those gentlemen who contended that no relief could be given to the people by a reduction of taxation. The remission of every tax was, undoubtedly, a relief to the people.— (Hear, hear.)—He never did suppose, that when a tax was not necessary it ought to be diverted from the natural application of industry ; for he was sure it would fructify more in the hands of the people than in those of the State; and if taxation were not necessary, he should not wish to levy taxes." Of all the wild and incoherent speches ever delivered in the House, that of the Hon. Baronet was perhaps the most wild and the most incoherent. At one time he talked of a "well-regulated paper currency"—meaning of course a paper currency convertible into gold, and conse quently an undepreciated currency. " Whatever grievances (he said) could be sustained from it had been got over at the time it was abandoned, and now none were felt which could not be compensated for by its superior cheapness and convenience." The next moment he spoke as if he contemplated a depreciated currency ; for he talked of affecting, by a departure from gold, " the interests of persons, for whom God forbid he should not feel all respect, and whose comforts and happiness demanded every attention." If we were to have a con vertible paper currency, those who had the issuing of it would be forced to take care that the in terests of the persons in question were not sacri ficed. Are the prices higher in Scotland under a convertible paper currency, than in England with a gold currency ? It has sometimes been supposed that a paper currency led to panics, but the ex changes prevent depreciation. But Sir Francis's paper currency is a wonderful currency ; for it is to be good and bad at the same time—to be well regu lated and ill regulated—to be convertible, and yet to depreciate. Mr. Peel did as much as could be done with such a speech in the way of refutation. " He could not (he said) understand the Hon. Ba ronet's doctrine—that reducing the currency five millions in amount, necessarily reduced the income of the country fifty millions. I-k could not see why the reduction of the currency should reduce the income to a ten times greater amount. By rais ing the value of money, those who possessed it could obtain a greater command over commodities. He admitted that there was a certain class whose pro perty was inc-ambered, and who were obliged to dis charged their incumbrances at a fixed sum; and he would admit that raising the value of money was a hardship on them ; but to those destitute of in cumbrance it was no hardship." The change of the measure leaves the nation, as a whole, pre cisely where it was, though it distributes the pro perty differently. But when Mr. Peel talks so reasonably respecting the benefit of reducing taxes, and the mischief of diverting the produce of the industry of the country from its natural application, except where necessary—are we to conclude that we are, in reality, to reduce our expenditure to what is strictly necessary ? We have more than once observed, that the people of this country are obliged to pay, in addition to what is levied by Government, for what, in other countries, constitutes the chief expenditure of Government. We, in fact, govern ourselves at our own expense.—Morning Chronicle . In the House of Commons last night Sir C. Wetherell gave notice that " on Wednesday, the 3d of March, he should move for a return for copies of the ex-officio informations which had been re cently filed against the Morning Journal newspaper —for copies of the minutes of the Judge before whom the trials took place—for the names of the Jurymen who were sworn upon each trial—and for the words which one of the Juries had made use of in recommending the defendants to mercy." Upon this notice, although it concerns us so nearly, we shall for the present offer no remarks. We are in good hands.—ln extracting yesterday from the Irish newspapers some passages of a more than ordinarily gratifying nature to ourselves we accidentally omitted one, which, in common gratitude, we feel bound to insert in our Journal of to-day. It is from the Warder—a paper of whose good opinion we have always been proud, and whose support we look upon as a matter of high value and importance. As this observation will be read by the Warder—but twenty-four hours before we are enabled to speak in mote positive and explicit terms upon the subject to " It now rests with those persons who have still re maining any regard for the liberties of their country, and who would maintain that most effectual of ban iers against tyranny—a free press—to testify their feeling toward this martyr in the cause of national honour. If Ain Alexander must suffer in his person, in order to gratify the, liberal feelings of Sir James Scarlett and his hopeful employers, let him at least be borne harmless in his purse. Let sub scriptions be forthwith commenced to remunerate him for his losses; and thus will the spirit of despotism be taught how fruitless the attempt to crusts the honest expression of public opinion. The Protestants of Ireland owe much to their constant and efficient advonte, the editor of the Morning .Journal ; and we trust tha' they will not be slow to evince their gratitude."—.2llornipg Journal. The treatment which we have received at. the hands of a Whig Attorney-General it might have been expected would have induced us to comment severely upon his masters, but their actions have in 710 unequivocal manner proved the truth of many of our positions; and we think the forbearance and generosity of the Duke of Wellington are placed in too clear a light to need any eulogium from us. If, however, any individual is still sceptical upon the subject we Would refer him to his Grace's replies to the representations of county Magistrates, and ()thew gentlemen of weight who dared to tell the truth. We would beg him to re-consider the answers given to the starving weavers—to reflect over again upon that precious document called the King's Speech— and if he should still doubt the fact of the First Lord of the Treasury being the most pro found staicsrnan and most disinterested patriot —the most humane Christian, and most in telligent legislator—:-we really fear that his mental blindness is incurable. If unparalleled effrontery in asserting that distress is merely partial and temporary—if an inflexible determination to persist in ruinous measures—if narrow-minded pre judice in favour of a particular theory—if an ill digested and destructive commercial policy—if, in a word, a reckless career of political blundering argue the great man—then must we unlearn all that has hitherto been deemed proofs of greatness, and a dictionary be constructed adapted to the modern acceptation of the political vocabulary. lire this, however, can take place, we sincerely hope the men who have produced such an unnatural confusion in our language will have ceased to be in power, and that purity, both of language and principle, will have resumed their proper places. The weak point of the Administration is clearly the question of supply. Here every member attached to the real interests of the community ought to make a stand. Not a shilling out to be voted for either army or navy ; for what have a pacific Cabinet to do with men of war ?—not a shilling for Ministers, who have repeatedly declared themselves incapable of doing any thing for the country, and therefore have no claim—not a sous for the parasites and Dagon-worshippers—no secret service money, to be expended in strengthening the influence of party, no matter how—not a penny, in fact, ought to be granted to our stewards until they have given an account of their stewardships. We know such a course will be deprecated by the apos tates, but that is alone a ground for persevering in it. We are aware such an opposition will be called factious, but when applied in such a sense we glory in the epithet. The opposition of the, Marquis of Blandford and Colonel Sib thorp has immortalized them in the eyes of the discerning portion of the community, and will, no doubt, stimulate others to pursue the glorious path of honour and patriotism. The seed has fallen upon good ground, and we confidently look to a harvest of principle, which will precede the final subversion and destruction of the Cabinet of incapables.— Soon may that day dawn upon our political hemis phere, and dispel the mists and fogs which have too long obscured its brightness ! Soon may the Whigs and Judases go to their proper places—and then, and not till then, the boast of the Duke of Wellington of the vast resources of this country, and her capabilities to sustain a distinguished part in any hostile collision of the Continental Powers, may be realized. But the Field-Marshal must him self be aware, from the conduct of the Whigs during the Peninsular war, how little support he can ever expect from his present friends and associates, how ever pressing and urgent the necessity of the State may be.—lbid. Sir Charles Wetherell gave notice last night of an important motion, which we have no doubt will give rise to an equally important discussion, oa a topic in which we confess not only a strong general, but individual interest, prevails—the late prosecution of the Morning Journal, and the imprisonment of its Editor and principal proprietor. Sir Charles is dis tinguished by his legal knowledge ; and yet the terms of his motion include a return of the names of the jurors upon the trial, the publication of which list of jurors, be it observed, Sir James Scarlett not only declared to be a libel, but which he also threatened to punish as such ! We shall see how he will answer for such proceedings to the late Attorney-General, who is at least his equal in legal attainments, as well as in political honesty. Sir James will no doubt be supported by his colleagues in office, and, according to present appearances, he will need all the relief that they can afford him.— Morning Advertiser. The speech of Mr. Flume on Monday last on the great question of reducing the taxes, and the public expenditure, was as able in fact and in argument as it was most feebly and inefficiently opposed by the Ministerial side of the House ; and we think it im possible for any one to have perused the brief, but luminous, report of its main features which appeared in our Paper, without being convinced that there has since the peace been not only great and unwar rantable extravagance in all our public departments, but, that even now—numerous as are the reductions which have been made in different ways—there is still great room for practicable retrenchment and economy. The object of Mr. Hume was two-fold ; first, to convince the House of the practicability of great reductions in the army, the navy, and othergreat establisffments; and, secondly, to induce it toagree to a reduction of taxes to such an amount as the di minished means of the country would bear, and then to square the public expenditure with it, in stead of, as heretofore, first voting away the amount estimated, and then casting about for the means of procuring it. This plan of proceeding he justified on the ground that faith had not been kept with the public in the often promised reductions of expendi ture—and that unless Parliament kept back the sup plies by first reducing the taxes, the Government ne ver would be induced to practise economy to the extent required by the necessities of the country. In these views he was powerfully sup ported by an independent body of Members from all parts of the House, and of all parties ; and, as we have already observed, as feebly opposed by the Ministers. They had no argument, in fact, to oppose to the statements of Mr. Hume, except the hackneyed one that the time was not convenient—that Ministers bad pledged them selves to every possible reduction—and that if the House agreed to the motion of the Hon. Member, it would show that it had no confidence in his Ma juHersgut reductionmey d ' e s asgas ron Minis. efsett s ch t ih e et r,vpea pub s lic c o nt point— ieetxhdpe;e nntnidoiert rue r t o : ad Iseos f e a ed c rtt t aoenn yi , a n that thing mou nt recommended, was impracticable. Of want of con fidence in the economical resolutions of the present ported our views on the currency with more than his usual ability, and declared, that hcm ever taxation might be reduced, there was no hope of the incomes, and profits, and wages, of the productive classes returning to their former standard while gold formed the currency of the country. " To look at the country, it was the land of abundance, and it ought to be the land of happiness, instead of which it was covered with distress.—(Hear, hear.) —What had produced this alteration ? The climate was not altered—the energies of the people were not altered—their industry was not altered—one thing was altered, and only one; and was it not a perversion of understatoling to attribute the distress of the country to every thing that had not altered, and entirely overlook that which had altered"—the Currency !—lbid. We rejoice, and the country generally will rejoice with us, that the small division of the Tory party who were expected at the commencement or the Session to take part in the factious employment or harrassing his Majesty's Government, have, with some very inconsiderable exceptions, repudiated, .or at least receded from a task and,a position iii which it was evident they Could rreitber_acquire any honour to themselves nor confer any advantage upon the country. On Monday night Mr. Wodehorise, on the part of his Honourable Friend the Member for Shaftesbury, withdrew a notice of motion which stood for the following day (yesterday), on the express ground that it was not the intention of a most respectable list of Tories whom lie named, and who have hitherto been supposed to form part of the Tory Opposition, any longer to emba►ras4 his Majesty's Ministers. By this speedy retreat from a position inconsiderately taken, and in which as honourable men and patriotic senators, they could not for a single moment have felt themselves at home, they at once redeem their own characters and offer a timely and acceptable atonement to a dis , cerning nation, which perseverance in a factious course would have offended and alienated once and for ever. To what humiliation and inconsistency the Tories—or the men, we should rather say, still usurping the name after having renounced the prin- ciples of Toryism—are reduced, who persevere in opposition to the King's Government, may be seen, when we find the Earl of Stanhope, who seems, with more valour certainly than discretion, to have volunteered as leader of the forlorn hope in the house of Lords, adopting the opinions andrepeating the very language of such Statesmen as Mr. Hume and Mr. Cobbett. The latter of these gentlemen, chiefly, we believe, for the purpose of discrediting the wisdom of Parliament—for we think too highly of his acuteness to suspect him of believing what he said—has every week for the last twenty years been telling the country that it was impossible to restore the ancient standard of the currency with out repealing many millions of taxes. This is the full amount of what Lord Stanhope tells us now. Is it not then, we ask, truly deplorable that a Nobleman like Lord Stanhope, assuming a new elle, racter and a new position in the eye of the country, should at the same sime be so entirely destitute of a single novel idea, as to be compelled to re echo, without improvement or variation of anv kind, the hackneyed and exploded errors of such a man as Mr. Cobbett ? It will be recollected also, that once at least in every day, of every Session, since Mr. Hume has had the honour of a seat in the House of Commons, he has not failed to exhort that Assembly to abolish what he conceived the proper amount of taxes, never a very small one, without troubling itself with any previ ous inquiry into the amount of expenditure neces• sary for the safety of the State, or the discharge of its solemn obligations. Innumerable votes of the House of Commons—the proper guardian of the public purse—votes in which not only every Tory, but every honest and rational man, did in fact and of necessity concur, have pronounced the course re commended by Mr. Hume to be dangerous, un constitutional, and absurd. And now we have Lord Stanhope, still calling himself a Tory—stand ing in the front of a party which calls itself a Tory party, l borrowing the notions and very language of Mr. Hume, pronouncing in effect that Parlia ment has all along been wrong, and Mr. Hume only right, and calling upon the Legislature to act in conformity with the repeated admonitions of that gentleman, unless the King's Government can be brought to adopt the principles of Mr. Cob bett with respect to the currency, and in deference to those principles, to defraud the creditor of the State, and violate every subsisting engagement be tween individuals. It can scarcely be pretended surely that any thing but inconsistency and des gradation could have brought Lord Stanhope and those who follow him into conjunction with Mr. Cobbett and Mr. Hume, for the latter re main precisely what they have always been in their principles, characters, objects, and lan guage. Having in the above remarks alluded to the observations which fell from Earl Stanhope on Monday night in the House of Peers, it may be as well to notice at the same time a singular mistake into which the Noble Lord appears to have fallen, with respect to the statement of the amount of cur rency in circulation made by the Duke of Welling ton on the first night of the Session. The Noble Premier did not think it necessary to qualify his statement by observing in so many words that it was the result of calculation, and not the specific contents of any existing official document or record; and for this very obvious reason, that he supposed naturally enough, although it now appears some what rashly, every Member of the Upper House of Parliament to know, that the existence of any such official document or record was impossible. Statistical writers have estimated, and it is gene rally supposed with sufficient accuracy, the amount, of currency in circulation at different epochs, by combining upon certain principles the information to be derived from returns of coinage at the Mint, the number of stamps issued to country Bankers, the probable extent of exportation of gold and slyer coin, as indicated by the Custom-house en tries, and induced or discouraged by the fluctuations of the course of exchange within definite periods.— Such a calculation the Duke of Wellington had made or caused to be made, and he read its results to the House from a small memorandum which he held in his hand. This, however, is very unsatisfactory and imperfect information in the opinion of the Noble Leader of Opposition in the House of Lords. He will be satisfied with nothing short of a precise and accurate official document, to obtain which it is at least necessary that the agents of Government should be enabled to peep into, and count the contents of, every iron chest, every till, every money bag, nay, even into every man's pocket, and every woman's card-purse, throughout the United Kingdom. Such information as is at tainable—such information as Statesmen in all ages have been content, and if not content, have been compelled to rely upon, the Noble Duke possessed, and gave it faithfully to the House. Loci' Lord Stanhope think the Noble Duke should have done less or more than this ? That the result does not accord with a favourite theory of the Noble Lord, is a tittle unfortunate; but for this the Duke of on surely is not to be held responsible.s—siliorn.Post.
