On Thursday evening, at eight o'clock, a second Meeting of the Lambeth Association was held at ' t he Cornwall Arms, in the Cornwall-road, Lam ihth, to a d opt measures to procure the total repeal of the house and window duties by every legal means. Mr. PITT was unanimously called to the Chair. The Cludasraisl said that he hoped they would all adher e to the objects of the meeting, which Were, t o adopt every legal measure to get rid of those obnoxious and oppressive taxes the house and Window dutie s , which pressed so severely among s t the midd le and industrious classes of society. The first resolution was then put from the Chair, Seconded, and carried unanimously:— ill " Resolved, Th at i n order to a ff ord an opportunity to householders in the parish to unite to use all lawful loans for the abolition of the house and window duties, Santee shall be enrolled at different parts of the parish, and illaielards to t h at e ff ect b e exhib i ted in the windows of p urpoe tP , keeper s who may volunteer their services for such A co r: h.. of the placard was then read, and ordered to be i mmediately printed. 414 gentleman h ere announce d to t h e c h a i rman " ili a: a d eputation, of ten brokers from the West ho c i li teeee Association who had heard of this meeting volu ntar i ly come over in hackney-coaches, in In P r der i to giv e t h e meet i ng any a d v i ce an d ass i stance ther p ower. a This annou nc ement was hailed with tumultuous P P la ttee, and in a few minutes the deputation en tered the room, and were received with loud cheers. d Mr. TR IPP , broker, of York-street, one of the :potation sa id that he had been a broker for up- Wit ards of thi r t y years, an d d ur i ng that t i me he had nessed such immense destruction of property, It/ eh scenes of heart-rending distress and misery, fro ruin of respectable tradesmen and their families, ; ai l ) the distraints put in for the recovery of the „" b essed taxes, that was sufficient to make the hair V I their heads stand on end " like quills upon the retful porcupine." The brokers were quite dis ,laterested in coming forward to use every endeavour ; 3 ° abolish these oppressive taxes, for they would :peat los ers by so doing. The distress warrants te ll ' levies f or t h e assessed taxes were to them great on es pr11(.6 of profit, but th e y saw so pl a i n ly, f rom 0 1 experie nce , such dr ea df u l ru i n f a ll u p on that, ' wives 9ai and families of their fellow-countryme n , ten ,sPeaking individually, h e cou ld no t i n hi s porse'nce levy anot h er di stress warrant for suc h a eucr se * -- (Continued cheering.)

The latter being in ivi- f Y tradesmen and feeling deeply the severity o w 4 , Be, Would have relieved him if they could, but l t of thei r power. oebt WSit °. HORNE said that INIr. Birch's case was no 4 ,,• a very h ard one, and he was sure if the Go lrueret w ere aware o f t h e i na bili ty o f any i m di v i- Ne t t ° NAY the tax i n question that they would not Sea t4 l it with severity. He thought that a repre- NlllOught to have been made to the collector .3er authority of the circumstance stated by out h 1 ' 0 )3 and had such been done he had no doubt Afr°Per attention would have been paid to it. %Here, 112cu--- Unfortunately it is the duty of the the r : e r not eR to collect the taxes but to make ka st i t a -) arm it is his interest to wring the utter k Si Nrstril,ig from the oppressed housekeepers. h e tiORNE replied that if he were called upon " i tt ie, -°vernrnent to give an opinion on the sub k4ssly question he would give that opinion fear t° he faithfully. He would only be consulted `o th;ouovernrnent in his capacity as legal adviser i; "'own and his opinion would only apply to th, of th; case. With respect to the policy of Ali l W he co uld not i n that capacity say any thing. a enuld or would do would be to give . his % est pi n i o n l awYer, and as one sworn to give an kr.tr•t This he would fearlessly do.

' llo n said that the Attorney-General had the power, if he thought fit, to prevent the prose cutions to which he (Mr. Birch) had referred. Sir W. HORNE said that he was not aware that he possessed such a power ; but, on the Act being handed to him by Mr. Birch, he perceived that he was so far empowered. In answer to Mr. Birch the Hon. and Learned Gentleman observed that he could say nothing as to what he might do in re ference to the prosecutions in question, urktil he knew all the facts of the case. He added that any of the individuals cited in the Court of Exchequer could put in personal appearances, without the necessity of employing a solicitor. He, however, expressed a hope that gentlemen would not allow a spirit of op position to excite them to act contumaciously to wards the law; for however painful it might be to enforce the law, it would be neessary to uphold its majesty. _ _ After some further general remarks on the part of Sir W. Horne and the member, of the deputation, the latter took their departure. NEW POLICE AND ASSESSED TAXgS.-7 he as sociation formed in Sr. Giles's, to obtain the repeal of the House and Window Taxes, and the New Police, met on Thursday night, Mr. Rogers in the cha'r. A deputation from an association formed in St. Andrew's, Holborn, was present.

GERMAN PAPERS. FRONTIERS OF BOHEMIA, SEPT. 24.—While proofs of the activity of the destructive party every where meet the eye, it dwells with joyful hope on the meeting of the Emperors at Munchengratz, because it cannot have taken place without their having paid some attention to the disease of the age, and make the discussion of the means (if curing it one of the hief objects of their care. The necessity of remedying this evil unites not only all cove reigns, but all friends of order, closely together. The former may, therefore, rely on the honest co-operation of the latter, and the boasting sophisms of the destructive party will not prevail against the conviction of this want. There is no doubt that Prussia has entirely joined in the resolutions of the two imperial Courts. In this union of the three great continental powers lies the security and the guarantee of Europe. It is of little importance to us that we do not yet know the details of these resolutions; they cannot be conceived in any other than in the most salutary spirit, and the union itself reveals their nature. All the friends of order justly consider this event as one of the most fortunate that has occurred for many years. It is highly proba , le that the political questions still un decided, such as that of Holland, and even the affairs of the East, have been duly weighed at their august meeting. At no period have the two Cabinets appeared to be on more friendly terms, or to have behaved towards each other with more implicit confidence. This state of things opens to us an extensive and happy prospect. VIENNA, SErr. 24.—The Russian Councillor of State, M. Von Kondrausky, has arrived here from Munchen gratz ; and Baron de Talisclaeff, the Russian Ambassador, is expected this evening. It is reported that in December this year there will be a Congress at Viennarat which Ministers from all the Ger man Courts will be present. It should seem, there fore, that this Congress will be engaged entirely with the affairs of Germany ; but it is conjectur.-d that subsequently further deliberations will take place, in which all the other Cabinets will take part. What truth there may be in this, must be left to time to show. At present it is sufficient to know, that discussions will take place at Vienna that will attract the attention of all Europe. It is supposed that it will be proposed to the intended Congress at Vienna, to establish a tribunal similar to the former Aulie Consul of the Empire, in which all the German States will be represented, and which will have to draw up a law fur the regulation of the Press ; to it will also be given the superintendence of the Press itself ; and not only all offences committed by the Press, but in general all political offences in Germany, will be subject to its cognizance. While, by the adoption of this plan, the great call for the abolition of the censorship in the several States might be complied with ; we might he sure, on the other hand, that the freedom of the press would not degenerate into unbounded licentiousness, and offences committed by its means would nut, as has often happened of late, escape punishment, because the Judges, with the best intentions, misled by visionary political views, or intimidated by the threats of some enthusiasts, often mistaken as the expression of public opinion,:give to the law an incorrect interpretation. VIENNA, SErT. 24..—Five per Cent. Metalliques, Bank Shares, 1,199.. 93i- : Four per Cent., 83i ; Allgemeine Zeitung, Sept. 29. Prince Michael Soutzo, Ambassador from Greece to the King of the French, accompanied by his son, arrived on Thursday afternoon from Paris. INTERESTING FACT.—The Reverend Mr. Roberts, of Bristol, in his visits to prisons in England from time to time, has f a ll en i n with many convicts under sentence of death. In 167 instances he inquired of th. , malefactor whether he had ever witnessed an execution ? It turned out that no fewer than 164 out of these 167 condemned offenders had been spectators in the crowd upon these melancholy occasions, which the Legislature designed to operate as warnings to the profligate. So much for the " efficacy" of sanguinary " examples" in deterring from crime ! COURT CIRCULAR. The French Charge d'Affaires transacted business yes_ terday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

The Royal Duke was to have left Hanover this week, after the proper authorities had been appointed for Lthe government of the kingdom during his absence. Prince George of Cumberland bears his fearful apprehension of a deprivation of sight with great calmness, and is very cheerful in company. He has an excellent capacity, is good natured, and a great favourite with the Royal Family.

Richard Heber, Esq., one of the greatest Bibliopolists of any age or country, died yesterday morning at hie house at Pimlico. So extensive is the library that he has collected, should he have ordered it to be sold by auction, on the most moderate calculation it is estimated that the sale would occupy 565 days. Leven Grove, the seat of Viscount Falkland, in Durham, has for some months past been undergoing considerable improvements. The manti.n has been re built in the most modern style, at the cost of his Majesty, who has made a gift of it to Viscountess Falkland, his Majesty's youngest daughter. CITY OF LONDON .—Yesterday the Revising Barristers for the City of London met again at Guildhall. Mr Lyall claimed under the following circumstances :-- He had recently removed from Fenchurch-strecc to one of the new houses erected near London Bridge. He had paid his rates at his old house up to the periP,i he left it, and he now sought to remain in the list of the parish in which his old house was situated. Claim allowed.—Nlesers. Goodge and Lamere, who since Lady-day last had occupied a warehouse in the house of a Mr. Thomas, claimed to he inserted in the list of the parish, on the ground that, while occupying a warehouse in St. Alban's parish, Wood-street, they had given notice to the overseers to be placed on the list, and to be rated. The overseers of St. Mary's, Alder manbury, opposed the claim, on the ground that the claimants had not such a separate and distinct occupancy as required by law.—The court postponed the decision. COURT OF REVISION FOR THE BOROUGH or GREENWICII. Yesterday Mr. Gurney and Mr. Hal:est attended at the Greyhound Inn, Greenwich, to revise the list of voters.—Mr. Abethell, Assistant-Master Shipwright at Woolwich Dock-yard, claimed to be inserted in the list of voters. The claimant said that the rent and taxes of the house be occupied in the Dock-yard formed part of his salary. If the house was not given to him, he would have an allowance in lieu of it He must be considered as a tenant at will.—Mr. Woollett, a parish ioner, opposed the claim, on the ground that Mr. Abethell was not a bona fide tenant. He was merely placed in the house as the representative of the Admiralty. —Claim disallowed. Colonel Adye, who occupied a house in Woolwich Arsenal, as Colonel of Artillery, made a similar claim. He said he paid the rates. Mr. Woollett observed that he received the money to pay them.—The claim was disallowed, on the ground that the occupation of the house was merely by permission from Govern ment. Forty other persons claimed the privilege to vote, but were opposed by Mr. Woollett on similar grounds. Their cases were precisely similar to those of Mr. Abethell and Colonel Adye, and the whole of their names were erased from the list. The decision caused very con siderable sensation among the Government officers. YORK MEETING IN HONOUR OF TIE LATE MR. WILRERFORCE. A meeting of the nobility, Clergy, gentry, and other individuals resident in or connected with the county of Yolk was held on Thursday, to devise means of paying a becoming tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Wilberforce, who for thirty years represented this, his native county, in several suc cessive Parliaments. The appointed place of as. sembly was the beautiful Music-hall in the capital of the county, which, at twelve o'clock, wes com pletely filled by a most respectable auditory, the greater portion of whom consisted of elegantly dressed ladies. At one o'clock the Lord Chancellor led the way from the Committee-room to the orchestra, on en tering which he was most rapturously greeted. His Lordship was followed by his Grace the Archbishop of York, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Stourton, Lord Morpeth, M.P., Lord Milton, M.P., Sir Francis Wood, Bart., Miles Stapylton, Esq., H. Gaily Knight, Esq., G. Strickland, Esq., M.P., George Cholmley, Esq., &c. On the motion of Lord STOURTON, the Arch bishop was called to the chair amidst loud applause. The Archbishop of YORK said, they had met together on that occasion in the discharge of a most solemn duty, to pay the tribute of deserved respect and gratitude to the memory of the late Mr. Wil berforce, who, with credit to.himself, and advantage to the whole human race, had, in five successive Parliaments, comprising a period of 28 years (a period, it should be remembered, of unexampled difficulty), been returned to Parliament for that great arid important county. Already had his native town, proud of such a man, taken measures to perpetuate his name and worth. But the feelings of regret caused by his death were not confined to his native ' town, nor to his native co un ty. E very w h ere h a d been heard the sincere and affectionate expression of sorrow for the loss of such a man.—(Applause.) No sooner was his decease known in London, than the entire of the rank, and the talent, and the virtue of that great city, without any distinction of reli gious sect or political party, came forward to pay the last honours to the venerated remains of the advocate and the benefactor to the human race. Whether as a sincere and steadfast patriot, whose mild and fascinating eloquence gave grace and strength to every cause, or as the Christian philanthropist, actively exerting himself for every good and laudible institution, and diffusing throughout his own immediate circle blessings and comforts to all, they might rest assured that the name of Wilberforce, associated as it ever would be with the remem brance of his never-ceasing efforts in the great cause of negro emancipation, by the carrying of which thousands would be liberated from degrading bond age, and have a course open for them to receive moral and religious education, which in no other way, and without such efforts, would never have been attained—they might, he said, rest assured that that name would go down ennobled to the latest posterity—(Great applause) —and that it would be unfading in its lustre, so long as genuine virtue and piety should have place or record in the world.— (Applause.) Earl FITZWILLIAM said it had been his lot in early life to be placed in situations which led to 811 intimate acquaintance with Mr. Wilberforce, and he could safely declare that it was impossible to do otherwise then to love and venerate a man whose whole study, thought, and purpose appeared to be to help and assist others.—(Applause.) The Noble Earl concluded by moving the first resolution, which was briefly seconded by Sir Francis Wood, M.P., and carried unanimously. It was as follows : " That the great abilities of the late William Wilber. force, industriously exerted to the latest hour of his life, in the genuine spirit of Christianity, for the attainment of objects of the most enlarged benevolence, have acquired for his memory the veneration of his fellow-citizens." Lord MORPETH fully agreed in an observation which he had heard, that the main ingredients in Mr. Wilberforce's character were not so much the high endowments with which he was gifted—not the eloquence that never palliated what was wrong, or the wit that never sported with what was right— as that habit of life which led a man, prodigally gifted by nature, to walk at all times, and under all circumstances, humbly with his God. The Noble Lord concluded by moving— " That the connexion so long subsisting between Mr. Wilberforce and this county, which he represented in six successive Parliaments, during a period of twenty.eight years, calls upon us to transmit to our posterity some me morial of a character so worthy of the imitation of those who engage in public life." Mr.BEILBY TIIOMPSON, M.P., seconded the rem lotion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. GALLY KNIGHT moved the third resolution— " That while this meeting highly approve of the plan which has been proposed for erecting a column to the memory of Mr. Wilberforce at Hull, his native town, they are of opinion that there should also be a memorial of him plaeed in some situation in which the inhabitants of the several districts of this great county should feel a common interest." He knew what was the prayer of his deceased friend --" that he hoped to God to see emancipation, but he equally hoped to see compensation."—(Hear.) Mr. STRICKLAND, M.P., in seconding the resolu tion, said it might be said of Mr. Wilberforce, that in whatever light you viewed his character, for reli gion, or for benevolence, it was not, like our nor thern clime— ti Obscurely bright, "But one unclouded blaze of living lisht."—(Cheers.) The LORD CHANCELLOR was rz..ceived with three distinct rounds of applause. He had, he said, the happiness of addressing that great and respectable meeting at a period of their discussion and of their proceedings which rendered it almost impossible for him to add anything to what had already been ut tered as to their more immediate object; for those who had preceded him (and none, they would all agree, with more ability than the most Rev. Prelate in the chair) had so completely stated the matter which had brought them together,and had gi ven such appro priate expression to the feelings by which all appeared o be animated, that he was certain that by adding any thing to what had been said he should only weaken its effect. Thoy were indeed assembled to do honour to themselves rather than to the memory of Mr. Wilberforce, whose name was known all over the world, and wherever it was known was loved and venerated, and to whose name and memory he might be permitted to say it was altogether superfluous to erect, whether at Hull or at York, or at any other place, no matter where, any of the ordinary monu• ments by which lesser men and their deeds were handed down to posterity. Nevertheless, he was far from differin g f rom t h at which was evidently the unanimous feeling of the meeting and of the county, that there should be some outward and visible sign as it Were to express the feelings of the people of Yorkshire towards the late 11r. Wilberforce, t o testify their gratitude for his eminent services, and at the same time t o warn ot h ers to avo id those paths in which they might shipwreck their own fair fame, and to dedicate, as he had done, their endowments and their lives in the service of his species and of humanity, But h e t h oug h t t h ey h a d now arr i ved at a period of their proceedings at which it behoved them to Consider in what way they could best and most usef u ll y, and therefore of course, most appro priately, embody, in the tribute which they proposed to erect, tho se f ee li ngs wh i ch they shared in common with the whole of their country, to which the name of Wilberforce would ever be an honour. Now, in looking at the manner in which they could most usefully and appropriately embody their feelings, he could not help being impressed with the consideration, and asking hims e lf, " h ow w ould Wilberforc e hi mself have best liked those feelings to be expressed and perpetuated ?" and if he might be allow e d to form a judgment, after an inti mate acquaintance with him of upwards of 30 years, during which period he h a d b een asso ciated with him i n many works, i n w h ic h, t h oug h t he humblest, he could justly say, he was not the least zealous of his coadjut ors —i f these circumstances justified him in forming a j u d gment as to the way in which Mr. Wilberforce would hav e p re f erre d a tribute to be en dered to his memory, he should say that he rwished for no marble—that he wished for no brass —that he wanted no inscription ; but that they would best testify their affection for his name and exalt his memory who amongst them did the most to imitate his acts, and who effected the most good for their fellow-;credtures in proportion to the means allowed.—(Loud cheers.) Therefore, without im pugning, but, on the contrary) fully admitting, the propriety of some memorial in the capital of his native county, arid, if advisable, in the great Min ster of the city—(Appldtide)-4e thought it should be a principal object of the exertions necessarily con sequent on that day's meeting, that some institution at once which should of usefulnessud bearl and the m respectshou l d naea ud perpetuate be fo rme formed —one the spirit of Wilberforce, and enable his country men to imitate his virtues. Perhaps it would nor be improper in him just to mention the course which had been followed in London. The Committee, which certainly enrolled all that was great and illustrious of every party or sett, no mat ter what, felt that the best course for them was to apply their energies in the collection of subscrip tions in order to found some institution after the name of Wilberforce, with a view to promote li berty, or religion, or morality ; that would be settled hereafter; and to make the tablet in Wetminster abbey rather supplementary to this object than the institution supplementary to the tablet. Whether they would be enabled to found a local institution of such a nature in Yorkshire depended upon the amount of money which would be subscribed, and upon so many other circumstances beyond present control, that it would be futile to enter into any speculations upon the subject. But if they were enabled in that county to erect some institution under Mr. 'Wilberforce's name, and devoted, as his whole life had been, to useful and benevolent pur poses, and also to raise a tablet in the Moister to his memory, sure was he that it would redound more to the credit of Yorkshire, because it would be productive of so much good to the country at large, both by way of example and otherwise. He knew there were many worthy persons in the county who entertained the same opinions; some of them he had communicated with,and these persons,for peculiar reasons, which, however,it was no less their ditty care fully to weigh, objected altogether to such a memo rial as a monument. Let those persons, then, sub scribe to such an institution : indeed, he believed they were perfectly ready to do -0, and others would subscribe to any other memorial which it might be desirable to erect. Now, if he (the Lord Chan cellor) were asked what sort of an institution he should recommend, he would only say there were numerous classes of persons to whom some founda tion would be a blessing. There had been for many years at Liverpool an institution for persons who from their birth had been afflicted with blindness, which had been extensively useful in its results, though wholly insufficient for the wants of so po pulous a district. In Yorkshire there had never been such an institution, though in no county was it more wanted. But he confessed that his own views went beyond such a limited institution, and he was not without sanguine hopes that a fund might lie collected in Yorkshire, where had begun, and been carried on, and brought to a successful issue, the abolition of the African slave trade, and where also had originated that spirit which had at length forced on measures for the extirpation of negro slavery,—nor assuredly until the eleventh hour, and when it could no longer be delayed even for a mo ment,—a fund which would enable Yorkshire also to effect the good work, not of extirpating slavery, —for, thank God, we knew it not in this country, —but of extirpating ignorance, which unhappily we did know to a horrible extent, and the bitter fruits of which we were tasting, and should continue to taste.—(Applause.) And then he trusted, when ig norance was conquered, the execrable but legitimate offspring of ignorance would also be triumphed over, —he meant discord, intolerance, and vice. —(Loud cheers) If we were told that Parliament had the power to attain this noble end, he, must say that his hopes in such a quarter were not very strong—(and he averred he spoke with all reverence and affection for that body)—when he found the supplies for educating the people were voted at so late a period, and to so limited an extent—late, because 15 years had elapsed since the publication of the report which recommended a grant—and limited, since that grant was bestowed, to the amount only of 20,0001., at a time when 20,000,0001. were given—jusily he did not deny—fitly he would say nothing about-- with his full concurrence, certainly—his full approbation —as a compensation for the abolition of negro slavery. He thought that the efforts of the people were still wanting for the purpose of promoting edu cation, and that Parliament would render no sub stantial assistance until they themselves took the matter into hand with energy and spirit, and the determination to do something. Sincerely, then, did he hope that that day's meeting would cause the collection of a fund for the establishment of an in stitution having such an object, and that there would still be sufficient to erect an outward memorial of the name and to the memory of that great arid good man, whose virtues they had met to celebrate, and whose example they had all professed so earnest a desire to imitate.—(Loud cheers.) The Noble Lord concluded by moving the following resolution, which was briefly seconded by the Rev. WILLIAM VERNON HARCOURT:— " That the nature of such memorial must, in some degree, depend upon the aggregate amount of the subscrip tions which may be received, and that it is advisable (if the sum raised be adequate) to found a benevolent insti• tution of as useful description in this county, and to put up a tablet to the memory of Mr. Wilberforce; but should the subscriptions be insufficient to accomplish such an object, that they shall be applied to the erection of a monument." The motion was carried amidst loud cheers. On the motion of Lord MILTON, seconded by Mr. G. CHOLMLEY, a committee was appointed to carry the object of the resolution into effect. The Earl of CARLISLE moved the thanks of the meeting to his Grace the Archbishop, which was seconded amidst loud applause, and the meeting se parated. YORK, OCT. 2. In consequence of the death of Mr. Bayntun, a requisition has he.n presented to Mr. Tuke, a merchant of this city, and a member of the Society of Friends ; but he has declined standing. Two other requisitions are in course of signature, the one by the Liberals to the Hon. Thomas Dundas, and the other by the Tories to John Henry Lowther, E•q. These two gentlemen were the defeated candidates at the last election. 'f hat to Mr. Dundas has received several hun dred signatures, and no doubt is entertained of his be. coming a candidate. A public rn,.eting has been held, and the expression of feeling in his favour was vcry strong. The Tories seem to fear that their man will not submit to a second contest. At one place, where their requisition was laid, there were but two signatures last evening, the one the keeper of the shop, the other the gravedigger of the parish. Mr. Mortimer Bayntun, the brother of the deceased Member, h,s issued a long address to the elec tors, declaring himself a candidate, and it is said tbat he will come down to canvass the electors after his late bro. ther's interment. Mr. Cooper's new novel of the " Headsman . ' has been, on account of its power and originality of subject, ranked by its numerous readers with " the Pilot" and " the Spy." Nothing in fiction can surpass in inter est the strange scenes, the strongly-marked and strong'y contrasted characters, and the passion which animates the pages of this last work of the Great American Novelist. The description of the wild storm on the Leman Lake will not easily be forgotten ; aed the gentle heire,s of Willading will take her station among the time-honoured heroines of romance. EMIGRATION FROM THE ISLE OF THANET. —A great number of persons have of late emigrated from the Isle of Thanet to America. On Friday last, Mr. John Rogers, a shoemaker, with his wife and five sons, left Margate by the Sovereign steamer, and was safe,y shipped the same evening on board one of the- American packets for Albany. The scene was truly affecting when the relatives came to take their farewell ; the whole of the family being born in Margate, and having alw ays resided there, th e separation was doubly painful. — _ en t Herald. F ) SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. In remarking on the suspicious fact] eyinced w a P s a that the issues of the Bank u of t r ai England n ;eater in the middletit _ last, by the sum of nearly 2,000,0001. sterling, l A a ut s e year t t yl were t return, e n t( r tg i the same period of th e we took an opportunity cf inculcating caution on the Bank Directors and the public, while we deprecated any attempt to create alarm. We observed that the mania for certain schemes at the present moment was nearly as great, though not so general, as in 1824, when, in fact, the issue's of the Bank of England did not much exceed their pre,;:ent amount, and we added, " that if the loan-convocting South Americans had not cheated us then', they might cheat us now. We want only 11. notes togive specula tion wings to fly,' or rather to form a balloon to carry us aloft, beyond the view of our more sober interests ; in order to be as giddy as we were for the 18 months which intervened be. tween January ; 1824, and August, 1825." These words, published on Thursday se'nnight, with some other remarks about the dangers of excessive speculation when stimulated by exces sive issues of Bank paper, seem to have supplied " a key-note" to such of our contemporaries as understand least about the general principles of trade and finance, and who consequently seem to have gone on ever since raving m chorus about bubbles and joint-stock projects. We certainly had no idea, when we called attention to the Bank issues, that we were throwing down the dike for the admission of such an inundation of nonsense, otherwise we should have explained our meaning in greater detail, and with more precision. The parties who have taken up the subject of our remarks are, of course, as usual, innocent of any meaning, and merely exercise their undisputed privilege of talking from an imperfect recollection of former overtrading and panics, wi bout having any power of applying past experience to present circumstances. In stead of studying the principles of connnercial or manufacturing economy, they have taken to the reading of the Bubble Act, with the com mentary of Lord Eldon's speeches, as if from such sources they could draw any knowledge of the causes or consequences of the present crisis. They have heard that the God of Gain is like wise the patron of thieves, but they cannot dis criminate between his two characters—and accordingly, whenever they are reminded of an inordinate eagerness for speculation, though of a legitimate kind, they recur to common place trifling about the Mississippi scheme and the South Sea delusion. Seeing this egre gious blundering, and reckoning ourselves, per haps, its innocent cause, we shall make no apo logy for explaining in a brief notice our sentiments on the present situation of affairs, as indicated by the announcement of new projects and enter prises. We say, then, that we apprehend tittle danger of derangement to the existing commer cial transactions of the country, and none to its permanent interests, from the most unrestrained spirit of legal enterprise, provided our standard of value is maintained, and every chance of an excess of paper issues is prevented. On the contrary, were the Bank of England so far to forget its duty to the public as to grant facilities to the undertaking of foolish projects by care less advances of paper money, the country would never be safe from losing projects even in the dullest times. It was with the view of pointing out this hazard that we noticed the great addi tion of 2,000,0001 to the paper circulation of the Bank of England within the year, as coin cident with the announcement of a great variety of schemes for the formation of rail-roads and the establishment of joint-stock banks. Our anticipations of an unfavourable result would have been much stronger had small notes been allowed to exist, and had we ascertained that the country banks had in the mean time been adding to their outstanding obligations in the same ratio as the parent institution in Thread needle-street. On the latter point we have no decisive evidence ; and with regard to the 1/. notes, we trust that speculators have bidden them an eternal adieu. It remains that the Bank of England should be called upon to ex plain the cause of the 2,000,0001. of increase on its notes, to which we have adverted. The Bank is bound to pay its notes in gold, and though the exchanges are declining, they have not yet turned so much against us as to make it profitable to export our standard metal, but we shall never be safe till we have a greater publicity of Bank accounts, and a more direct control over Bank issues than we have at present. Speculation is chiefly to be , dreaded when it is stimulated by an artificial state of the circulating medium, or by the tem porary enjoyment of unlimited credit. Then it rages without any check from reason, prudence, or forethought, because the parties engaged in it cannot separate their apparent from their real success, and because its results cannot be imme diately brought to the test of experience. If we can lay an injunction on the Bank engraver to restrain him from entering into partnership or combination with speculators and projectors, our apprehension of the latter would be considerably diminished, if not entirely removed; and if, in addition, we could break every plate for a bank note below 10/., we might reckon ourselves pretty secure against their jugglery or magic. We are quite aware that during the time of the bubble projects, which sported in such wanton ness and numbers round that leviathan of delu sions, the South Sea scheme, Bank credit was still in its infancy, and that small notes had not made their appearance, but the shares in these companies were so minute, and their distribution so limited to the capital, that their paper became a kind of temporary increase to the currency. The infatuation—for it was an infatuation,—so long as it lasted, thus fed itself. It was a mere gambling with counters, with just so much money on the table, or in the hands of the players, as to pay off their d►fferences. The Mississippi scheme of law in France, on the other hand, was so connected with his na tional banking establishment as to constitute one system, and was purely what Mr. Attwood would call " an action on the currency," to such an enormous extent as the world never witnessed before or since.
