SOCIETY FOR THE EMANCIPA TION OF INDUSTRY. it was of h 0 fa - ult . in the measure of value—they could alter that; only let them take care to discountenance every at tempt to trade and traffic in them to monopolise them, and use them to the injury of their fellow-men. If this was not done, they would not now have agitations going on for Ten Hour Bills ; men did not sacrifice themselves, and,wives, and chil dren, froth indifference or selfishness, but it was from the stern necessity of exerting themselves beyond their powers, in consequence of this system depriving them of the fair reward of their industry. Never had there been a coun try so oppressed as this had been by that from which no man had profited. Every Government said, " Oh, the currency is a difficult subject ;" but it was not a difficult one if it was but attended to; it was inattention that had done the injury. They had gold and silver as their measures at present, and* they could not extricate themselves from them. Nor was he desirous that they should do so. But there was another kind of money which the people had not, because they did not en joy it. Every endeavour to gain it was crushed by the Go vernment, which made every attempt, and would make every attempt, to preserve the equality , between gold and pa per, and if it should estabish one bank of issue, would almost destroy every hope of the emancipation of the country from the system. The, discussion of the details of the question of the standard of value was then resumed between Mr. Capps, Mr. Enderby, and Mr. Sparkhall, and continuod.for some time in a very animated manner. One gentleman, whose name was not given, joined in the discussion, in order to maintain that labour was the only true standard of value ;• gold was the worst and the most pernicious, from its scarcity, and he wished he had it in its payer to destroy it and convert it into iron, which he thought would be preferable to- it - (thus reversing the object for which the alchemists of old laboured so perse veringly—the conversion of all the baser meitala to the noblest one.) This Spartan aspiration did not seem to be at all shared in by the rest of the meeting. Mr. L. MURRAY said, the question whether labour should be the standard of valve had been Very ably discussed by Adam Smith, and if the last speaker had said that labour, instead of being the standard, was the origin of all value, he should have agreed with him. But if he applied all the tests that must be applied to a standard of value to labour, he would find that his position was erroneous. It was far too fluctuating in its nature to afford basis enough for such a standard. The use of gold as a standard had, from the fluctu ations in the price of that article, caused great misery. It was to alter this that the present Society was established; to give emancipation to industry was the object for which they had met that night. Mr. RODGERS, in a short address, stated his preference to gold as the standard of value. He contended that, though it might fluctuate as far as this country was concerned, yet that taking the whole world, it remained unaltered. The CHAIRMAN then stated, that the time allotted to the discussion had expired, and having announced that the sub ject at the next meeting would be " Bank Restrictions," the proceedings closed. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The law of debtor End creditor in this country was, until the last few yeii . rs, in a most imper fect state. Instead of being founded on the obviously rational and just principle of rendering the property of the debtor available to the payment of his debts— which in other countries is principally aimed at by their laws on this subject—personal restraint, aptly described as a " power which exposes the liberty of one man to the passions of another," was the remedy provided by the Legislature for securing the payment of 'debts. The unfortunate and the fraudulent were treated alike. The dishonest debtor was no more subjected to imprisonment than the honest one. The man who had long struggled with misfor tunes—who had daily submitted to privations of or dinary comforts, that his means of 'meeting the pecu niary claims upon him naLht be increased, and who bad distributed every pound he could acquire and save to avert the calamities that eventually overtook him, was regarded with equal eye by the law with the reckless spendthrift, the headlong speculator, and the fraudulent practitioner ! An alteration in this cruel and im politic system was contemplated with reluctance. Partial ameliorations of its rigour were made at dis tant intervals, by the Legislature, which thus showed the confidence that was felt in the efficiency of imprison ment to coerce payment of pecuniary claims, not merely from the fraudulent, but from the unfortunate and impo verished. On moving last night in the House of Lords the second reading of the Bill for assimilating the ex isting laws of creditor ana debtor, Lord Cottenham entered largely into the legislative history of the sub ject. To the NobleTord's masterly exposition of the imperfect principles and defective operation of the successive changes which were made by Parliament, we refer those who desire to become acquainted with the - past.- They will there see how unwilling the Legis lature showed itself to interfere with the system of in discriminate imprisonment ; and, when•it did interfere, what inexplicable distinctions were recognised and ap plied to different class of debtors. The pcorest, and most unfriended—alike destitute of resources and of The convenience gained by the public by the new arrange. ment, independently of the saving, will be the transaction of all stock business at the Bank of England. The question naturally arises, what will become of the present Company when its only functions are thus annihilated? Either, it would seem, it must cease altogether, or it must charge itself with the performance of some new duties. The project that was started a little time ago, of a trust Company, with the present Board of Directors, shows that these are willing to continue their official existence, but the scheme seems to have made such very little progress, that scarcely any hope is entertained of its being carried into effect. . The premium on gold at Paris is, 13 per mille, irhich, at the English Mint pric e of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounc% for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 48; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 57i, it follows that gold is 0.38 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4351 per marh, which; at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10* ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent, dearer in Hamburgh than: in London. The weekly meeting of the members of this Society was held on Tuesday at the office, Parliament-street, for the ur pose of discussing the nature of the " standard of value,' in pursuance of the notice given, according to the rule of the Society, at the last week's meeting. The attendance was highly respectable. Mr. Spottiswoode was called to the chair. In introducing the business of the evening, the CHAIRMAN took occasion to correct an error that had appeared in a Morning Paper in a report of the last meeting of the. Society. It was stated that the Society intended to " agitate" in fa vour .of the principles they supported. Their intentions were perfectly the reverse ; the Society were no agitators, its object being, on the contrary, to allay agitation. They saw, or thought they saw, in their present monetary system the sources of great agitation, and the object of the Society was to put a stop to that agitation, by providing a remedy for the evils of that system. lie attributed the mistake to the fact of the repOrter being so accustomed to hear of " agita tion" in other quarters—(Hear, hear)—that he thought this Society must be agitators also. They did not look to agitation for the propagation of the principles which they knew to be 'true ; they only asked those who were uninformed to listen to their arguments, that they might be convinced. The question for this evening was, the "stand ard of value." It was not generally known out of doors. that the currency of the country consisted of two parts— one, the money of the Government, that was to say, that money it issued for the payment of its expenses, and receivable back in the shape of taxation, which was lite rally speaking money, but not sufficient for the wants of a great country like this ; and the other part, the commercial currency of the nation—that was the-issue of notes or other representatives of value by private . persons upon private credit. It was the want of seeing the simple distinction, that neither one nor the other could be properly made the entire commercial medium of the country, that had led people into great confusion and difficulty un this question. Some were now crying out for one bank of po , issue. There cer tainly could be but one Government ; but many seemed to think that on that account the whole circulating medium of the country must come from that one quarter. Others were' for the issue of notes of hand and bank notes on private secu rities. These again were of a different character, and must' take their tone and measure from the money of the country. If the Government made an issue of 11. notes, those issued by private bankers must be of the same value; and whether they were for sums of one, five, or ten pounds, they must be the ,same as the Government money represented. It was over-issue ee indefinites bank su e o of f m a o l l ra n e e I t-1: a ao n nr issue,supposed nu mbe because to of fb bankers, b n ek theyers dangerous a n might d taaotvhave wast he n more notes; but the idea was preposterous. Nobody took the notes of a bank and threw them into the street, nor did any banker or bank part with its notes without value, or sup posed value received. If A bank chose to part with its notes to persons of doubtful credit, they were speculators, just in the same way as others were speculators. Both might lose, and both might deserve to lose. But an overissue could not possibly exist—it must cure itself in a short time. No men parted with their property for nothing, or, for that which was of no value ; nor could anything force them to do it. Unless the public had confidence in a bank, no one would take its notes; and unless a man had land, or warehouses, or pro duce, or property of some kind, which he wished to exchange for something more convertible, no issue of notes to him could take place. The cry of over-issue, then, was perfect nonsense, and the attempt to give an equal fixed value to the whole of the circulating medium was a great fallacy. Where there was an immense weight of taxation, it was equal folly to say that the money of the country should be of the same price as if that taxation did not exist. With these introductory observations he left the question open to discus sion by the meeting. Mr. C. ENDERBY said he had some very considerable doubts as to whether there could be any standard of value at all. Value meant two things ; the value of one thing could only be fixed by something else—by some peculiar commodity, the object of doing so being to regulate prices. The question was, did the standard of value, as fixed by law, regulate prices ? Just the reverse; for it confused and dis turbed everything. First, with regard to gold itself, the price of gold was fixed, but if the quantity of gold in the country was extremely small, a counteracting circumstance took place, and the price of the commodity was depressed. Now came the consideration of the intention that was entertained in fixing the standard of value; surely it could not have been intended to disturb all the transactions between man and man, and yet that appeared to have been its operation. When gold became extremely scarce, the Bank contracted its circu-. lotion, and this acted in the first place, perhaps, on East In dian produce. Tea fell in price 50 per cent., then sugar fell 30 per cent., and.other produce 20 per cent., and so forth ; every • thing was disturbed Now he wanted to know if there was any one object that could be considered a standard of value? He never could make it out that there was one. Mr. LAMIE MURRAY said he could easily understand the object of the question. If they had no fixed obligation to pay—no obligation which every year required the same amount of money to discharge, there was no occasion to have a reference to a standard of value. In that case every article might be exchanged for some other article which the parties making the exchange might desire to have. This would be in fact a system of barter. But where they had a fixed debt and obligation to pay, some standard must be agreed upon in order to prevent the parties receiving it from having too little interest for their money at one period and too much at another; hence it became necessary to have a reference to a standard of value. He believed that the true nature of a standard of value had been very ably laid down by his friend Mr. Taylor, whose works on this subject he had read with great pleasure • he thought no man could read them without acquiring muCle;instruction from them. He laid it down that the market price of gold would be a good standard of value. He agreed in this so far as the mere interchange of commodities were concerned, because, as cost of pro duction entered into all articles, the relation of value would be preserved between them, and except horn the fact of an • over-issue on the part of the Government to meet extraordinary . expenses, no derangement to the incomes of all those whose incomes were fixed could exist from purely mercantile causes. Mr. Cowell, who had written on the currency, laid it down as a new discovery that gold was the best standard of value be cause men insatiably desired to possess it. This was not laid down as a jest or in satire, but with all the gravity of a philosophic principle ; he considered it a discovery of quite a new moral world.—(Hear, hear.) When he read his pamphlet, he naturally asked how much did this insatiable demand of gold amount to in the year, and he found that it amounted to 5400,0001. a year, consumed in the arts out of a produce of abut 9,000,0001. Suppose the insatiable desire for the possession of gold only occasioned a demand for one million out of the nine pioduce, what was the situation they would be in ? They would have more gold on hand than they had a demand for, and it would fall in its value as com pared with other commodities. Those having fixed incomes would then complain, because their incomes would not com mand so much of the productions of the labouring classes as they had before enjoyed. If, on the contrary, the supply of gold was less than the demand, a great appreciation of the standard of value would take place. What a fallacy, then, to suppose that gold could be so insatiably desired, when the whole demand for it did not exceed five millions. This was mistaking effect for cause. Every one would agree that in fixing a standard of value, they ought to fix on some thing that was in universal demand. And if anything could be said to be in universal demand, it was surely that which entered so largely into production, which wae the " staff of life." In whatever point of view it might be examined, wheat might be said to possess all the elements of a perfect standard of value. And here again he was much indebted to the gentleman he had before named, who had ably laid down the nature of the standard of value and of the measure of value. The standard of value might be corn, while the measure of value might be gold, because the latter had great intrinsic value in a smallcompass. But it made a bad standard of value,_ because the demand for it was limited. Wheat was bulky, but there was no article that fluctuated so little in price in a long period of years. For many years previous to the passing of the Bank Restriction Act, from 1635 to 1795, the price of a bushel of wh e at w a s as nearly as possible the same as that of an ounce of silver, and to do justice to the productive classes, they should endeavour to form a standard of value by making the ounce of silver and the bushel of wheat agree. This could be done by an average taken every seven or fourteen years. Such an arrangement as this would en able them to do as they were doing before 1819, and restore that prosperity to the country which was so much required. If that was effected, instead of finding the taxes pressing upon them so heavily, they would not feel them, while they would be enabled to compete with every foreign country, and the nation would become rich by the elements it pos sessed within itself to make it so.

Solt has ever been in fact; but just now their intimate relation to it happens to be more evident than ever. Its opponents cannot be ca:led a party, either Whig, or Liberal, or manufacturing; for it has its sup porters from all classes. " The Opposition" is divided upon it. The Agriculturists, then, can, 'if they please, pass Lord--Ashley's .amendment—not quite scot-free, perhaps, for-they-are threatened with the perils and ex penses of a dissolution, or even a ehange of Ministry. Still, if they choose to run these risks, they can pass a Ten Hours' Bill without the smallest difficulty in the world. They have only to say aye, and the thing is done. Now this is a very important fact, and deserves to be remembered hereafter, whatever the present result may happen to be. Long hours are generally considered the sin of the master manufacturers. These unnatural monsters, it seems to be commonly supposed, in order that they may accumulate enormous fortunes, get thirty per cent. interest on their capital,—as the Agricultural Protection Society informs us,—buy up the estates of the impoverished landowners, ruin all the other manu facturers in the world, and perpetrate other like atroci ties, forcibly and illegally impress and detain from their natural guardians myriads of helpless women and chil dren, regularly drain their life's blood out of them, com pelling them to work till they drop. By alternate seduction and violence they get the miserable creatures into their clutches, and only resign them as a spider — the original of all cotton-spinners—resigns his prey, viz., when he has sucked it thoroughly dead and dry. The agriculturist, on the other band, is represented as a dis tracted mother deprived of her children, roaming over the face of the earth, and findiog them at last in the den of the millowner, from whom she in vain demands her own. The philanthropist, like another Theseus, is to attack the Minotaur in his labyrinth, and by the extinc tion of the monster is to put an end to the cruel tribute which he has hitherto been suffered to exact. Such is the ordinary picture. But, like many a scene of ro mance, the course of human affairs has now made it a practical question. It comes home to the landowners. Here is the monster; here are his victims. It is in the power of the landowners to set the victims at liberty, at least to alleviate their miSery. What they have wished and talked about so many 3 ears they now can do. Do it. Why hold back? What's the the matter now? "If we do,' they 'reply, "we shall turn out a Minister or two, get into a mess perhaps with our own labourers, and, horrendum dictu, have cheap corn." 0 rare philan thropists! 0 easy compassion! 0 flummery of talk! It is an atrocious cruelty in the millowners to overwork women and young people, because otherwise they cannot sell their calicoes ; what is it then in you t o acqu i esce 'willingly in ths cruelty, because otherwise you cannot keep your friends in power, or get a good price for your corn ? Whatever you have said of the manufacturers, posterity will surely say. of you. Wise men have always been chary of benevolent talk, from a sort of presentiment that they might some day find a sort of necessity to eat their own words. The wisest man could not have foreseen such an emergency as this. There is no doubt that the agricul turists can pass the measure, but then it may possibly touch their pockets. Yet how little mercy had they on the pockets, and even the bare solvency and subsistence, of the manufacturer! So long as somebody else was to pay, their generous indignation knew no bounds. The merest shadow of a possibility of the price coming out cf the landowner's purse, puts to flight the whole army of philanthropists. We will coneess that we never have thought the land owner and the millowner to be different orders of hu manity. They are both of them capitalists ; and, as capitalists, are generally found to possess a decided leaning towards the fnterests of capital. They like other things, but perhaps nothing so decidedly and constantly as a good per centage. Amongst the things which they do not like, unprofitable burdens, useless and superfluous mouths, human waste and refuse, all that impediment and friction that clogs and cripples speculation, are the most odious. The treatment of the agricultural la bourer at the hands of the landowner is a sufficient indi cation of what every other industrial class must expect from him. They who acquiesced so easily in the New Poor-law will never pass an effectual Factory Bill, if they can help it. Both of them are ultimately questions of rent. The old Poor-law charged the land, or, what comes to the same thing, the process of production, with certain expensive social duties. A good Factory Bill might possibly involve greater freedom of trade. That is all the landowner wishes to know about the matter. Everybody can point to the localities, and the councils, where the fate of the factory question has been decided, for decided we believe it is, for this turn at least. The cause does not fare much better with the manu rorenej Manchester, et ch t t n : eg c t t u z e es two osten sibly facturer. Just now, perhaps, rather better; but there is still the old story. "Do not limit labour, but remove y of disjunctive duality, viz., the factory sort s be p l r d es t e e nt x) d n t s h id e e m r sel ve S to a Lancashire mind our burdens." For thirty yea Last and 'Tuesday e s d d u a t ) y , aon meetingraw c sub jects ; and have universally ende o d t d iro a n i m t n s cause,ions havesaa v v nee been re v W ot a to sp n h r e . s ettl. Innumerable meetings peti tion for restrictingfactory labour, . re solving on that • and unanimously against that obnoxious import duty. for the latter purpose only ; and most pathetic was the tone in whi c h t hi s grievance, real enough we think it, was sucessively deplored by the speakers. But we must confess to a slight abatement of our pity, from the fact that almost every speaker, in the midst of some most piteous whine about the duty he annually paid on his raw cotton, interjected some angry flings about the factory question. Has it ever occurred to any of these lugubrious gentlemen, that if they had done their part, the State might have done its part ? It is but natural that a Government which knows more of definite treaties than of uncertain speculations should refuse to sacrifice revenue without securing that the benefit shall light on the heads of those who most need it. The Manchester meeting presents rather too close a resem blance to that committee of ironmasters the other day which agreed to raise the price of iron 20s. a ton, and before they separated signed a petition against a Ten Hsairs' Bill. Yet there is some hope from this quarter. Some of the arguments used in the House on Friday, including those of Mr. Cobden, aro encouraging. He considers shortening the hours of labour not only desirable but possible—compatible with social prosperity, and that in England. We have sometimes heard what seemed a contrary doctrine. ",More work, more produce, more wages, mare comforts," &c. Not so, Mr. Cobden. Holding that the desired result will be obtained by e e d that advocatingthe the systems d e com mercial freedom, but re tarded b y le g islative restricti ons on labour, he yet consi d e rs that shortened hour s are a result to be &tired I surest way, and the only sound and p racti cal mode, " of shortening the h ours of labour was by ntea of t, thelo long supportershours, theyof free m at : t t t r a a i n d abolish ing restrictions upon trade. He would in two words tell the House why he thought carr y in g in to effect repeated the price he price the principles of free trade would diminish th e hours of labour. He did no t sa y , with the No ble Lord the Member for the City of London, that of bread, it wou ld com p ensate the labourer for the reduction of the hours what he (Mr. Cobden) had often stated to the House, that he did not think reduction in the price of wheat, coffee, or sugar, wou ld afford a sufficie nt compensa tion to the , operative s for a red u c tion of the by reducing labour. He hours of labour. But if they enlarged their markets, and allowed a free exchange to take place with the commodities of other countries, the eftect would be, that the value of labour would increase in this country, and the capitalist would also derive great advan tages from the interchange. Under such a system the labourer would derive as much benefit from working ten hours as he did now by working twelve. It was only last night that he had a conversation with a large capitalist. That capitalist instructed him (Mr. Cobden) to go into the House of Com mons and make a bargain for him. The capi talist said, if the House would consent to remove all the restrictions upon trade, he would at once pro mise to give his workmen the same wages for 10 hours' as he now gave them for 12-hours' work. Dr. Deacon Hume said that the only effectual way of giving the ope ratives a Ten Hours' Bill was by removing the restric tions upon the commerce and trade of this country." This may be all true. We hope there is this road to a Ten Hours' Bill. But it certainly does considerably damp one's sympathy for the free traders to see the order in which they always place these two questions. Trade first, the factory women and young persons next, is not the order of humanity—perhaps not the order of success.—Times. EXAMPLES. Wintry. Polley. Age. sum. Annual Bonus Cask Prem. Iso. Prem.

Persons who could not meet their obligations to their creditors, if their debts were of large amount, were relieved, partially or wholly, from the degradation and misery of incarceration. The law only reserved its un mitigated vengeance for the poorer classes—those whose debts were small, and whose destitution was absolute! Lord Cottenham, by the Bill which ho has in troduced, seeks to remove those .distinctions, and to place the law of creditor and debtor on principles more consonant with sound policy. Its object is to assimilate the law relating to bankrupts and insolvents, b' abolish ing altogether imprisonment for debt, and giving to the creditor greater facilities for obtaining cessio bonorunt.

The future pro perty of insolvents, like that of bankrupts, is to be ex empted from the power of former creditors; and all pro ceedings in bankruptcy and insolvency are to be assimi lated, and carried on in one court, before one set of judges. Such is the outline of this greatly beneficial mea sure, which will, we trust, shortly receive the sanction of the Legislature. The honest and unfortunate debtor will be relieved by it from imprisonment. Thus punishment will be reserved wholly for the fraudulent debtor ; whose case will be regarded, as it ought to be, in the light of a crime against society ; subject to be dealt with, as other offences against socieiy are, by a court of crimi nal jurisdiction, and be no longer left to the partial and frequently malevolent passions of individuals. Speaking of imprisonment for debt, Mr. Burke long since said, " Every process of judicial order is subverted by this proceeding. If the insolvency be no crime, why is it punished with arbitrary imprisonment ? If it be a crime, why is it delivered into private hands to pardon without discretion, or to punish with out mercy and without measure ?" The credi tors of an insolvent will, by this measure, obtain prompt possession and early and equal distribu tion.of the assets of his estate, comprehending every de scription of his property. This principle of cessio bonorum has been long found to work most advantageously in Scotland, and has been frequently urged on the con sideration and adoption of the Legislature, as well calculated in this country to secure the property of insol vent traders from wa,te, by delay and mal-appropriation. STANDARD.—Lord Cottenham last night introduced a Bill for the abolition, in all cases, of imprisonment for debt, leaving the fraudulently incurring of debt, or the fraudulently withholding payment of a 'just debt which the party is able to pay, to be dealt with criminally, as a substantive offence. The Bill met the Mt= us irap probation of the House, and we trust will Soo the law of the land. The power of imprisonment bt is the most unjust, and, in a country where ninety men out of a hundred have no estate but in their time and their character, the most cruel tyranny that it is pos sible to imagine. Of the injustice of leaving with one subject the power of depriving another of liberty, charac ter, and occupation—if the latter happens to be his debtor—whether by misfortune, venial imprudence, or the arts of the creditor himself—of the injustice of in vesting the richer class with this tyranny, to be ex exercised at their caprice, it is unnecessary to say anything after all that has been said and written upon acknowledged 2 y e u a u r s i . y e r The sal ly ; b injustice ut the llast the degree of its cruelty is not so 11 genera y appreciated. The injury inflicted upon a debtor by imprison ment, is frequently measured merely by the amount of the pain of three months' confinement and by three months' loss of time ; but this is a ridiculously inadequate measure ; in the vast majority of cases — we should say, that in every case where the debtor is really an honest and industrious man—imprisonment is ruin. They are only the knaves and. the dissolute who make light of it. The poor labourer, the artisan, the clerk, the professional man, who has no prospect in life but the fruit of patient labour and of a fair character, finds impri sonment for three months a very dreadful matter ; turn ed loose at the three months end, he finds the place that he formerly occupie d filled u p , and has to begin the world anew, and work out a new p lace for him self with worse than no reputation—with a damaged reputa tion. So dreadful are these consequences of impri sonment to industrious men of proper feeling, that they will submit to any terms of m e- i in tl; ployers to avoid it, or m ake any bargain the usurers. Few who know the real lives of struggling millions can have escaped seeing many examples of men who might have adorned and served e their country in the highest stat ions creepingtnobcu horrid employments to mean graves , in terror of the it will be phantom of ignominious improvement. But said, creditors are not generally so hard-hearted in this Christian country. We do not know what to say to this ; the love of money has a great tendency to harden t the heart ; and with the example of Mr. Oastler s three years' suffering, and the knowledge of the fact that that gentleman's wealthy creditor, after wringing two or three thousand pounds from the compassion and sympathy of the people, still maintains his position in society, we can hardly say that such hard-heartedness is either rare or unpopular in Eng land. The trqth is, however, that the creditor is not always the party to blame. He, a poor man, perhaps, wants his money ; a , ready solicitor sug gests that it can be had on a peremptory demand ; the demand is made, costs accumulate ; these costs must be paid by the creditor himself, if he cannot extract them from the debtor or the deb tor's friends ; so that he (the creditor) having once begun, is forced. t) push matters to extremity, if he would. evade greater loss. This is not hard-heartedness—it is merely folly at first and necessity afterwards. Abolish imprisonment for debt, however, and what do you effect ? You take fr urn creditors the temptation to commit this folly, and you destroy at a stroke the trade of the worst description ot usurers—the men who lend money at high interest urou bills of exchange, in contemplation of actions upon those bills, the lenders upon cognovits and warrant to confess judgment. In nearly every case these loans are contracted in order to pay debts, because debts unpaid drag a man to prison and to ruin ; but abolish imprisonment, and men will have no motive for changing cre ditors at the exorbitant cost of flying to usurers. In this way a pestilent trade will be extinguished, and a. considerable amount of capital let loose for fair com mercial purposes; while the moral effect must be to en hance the value of character by making character the only safe ground for giving credit. Mr. ENDERBY did not clearly understand how corn could be made a standard of value, when it was always so fluctu ating in price between the end of one season and the be ginning of another ; and it appeared to him that this must always be the case. Mr. Munr.AY explained that on an average of years corn would be found to fluctuate in price less than any other article. Mr. RICHARDSON said, Mr. Murray had talked of the market price of gold. What idea did that convey to them ? By what standard or measure was that price to be taken? It amounted to nothing, and they were all yet completely at sea. Mr. MURRAY said, that if the price of gold was not fixed by Act of Parliament, it would be discovered by finding its own level in the market. A discussion, in the nature of a conversation, took place on this point between Mr. Richardson, Mr. 'Vickers, Mr. Capps, and Mr. Murray. In the course of it, one of the speakers said that the issue of 1/. notes from one bank would be a curse to the country; there was an anxiety on the part of the Bank of England to get into this mode of having one bank of issue. Mr. TAYLOR said he had taken some pains to ascertain what had been the prices of corn for many years before the Bank of England came into existence, and he found, adopting ' the estimates given in the transactions of the Royal Society, that for six hundred years 'the price of wheat had averaged ' 445. a quarter. The English grower bad that price for his crheat when the taxation of the country only amounted to two millions —how much better then was he paid all through that period than he was at present?—(Bear, hear.) He defended the principle of adopting corn as the standard of value, showing that even in the time of the Romans there was a relative proportion between the metals of their currency, which re mained nearly the same down to the discovery of America. But the measure of value was now p r ovided for them by the Government in the taxes of tbe people, and it bad no longer anything to do with the old metallic money of the country. The Government now made its paper as valuable as gold or silver; this it had no right to say. Let it fix the value of its paper, but it was impossible to alter that of gold or silver. The Government said there shall be a maximum of value; though it would not attempt to fix a minimum of wages ; then why fix a maximum of value, when they were every year doing something to raise that maximum. There were three states of money. There was the condition of barter, in which no money was required ; another state was where the precious metals came into operation, still a condition of bar ter, but one in which the exchange was for something besides eatables, or drinkables, or clothing. If both parties fixed the price in metal, and were both satisfied, there was no rea son why they should not buy and sell as they chose. But when they got to such a state of things, in which the Go vernment stepped in with its taxing power, it did by that taxation press down the metallic value of articles, and yet levied the taxes just as it did before! This was what they complained of. It Was of no fault in the standard of value, MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The impression produced in the City by the Budget has not atall corresponded with the expectation it had previously raised, the only important deduction from it being that it is not absolutely certain that the property-tax will be continued after the three years. In general, the un willingness of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to suffer any encroachment upon his surplvs by a premature remission of taxes accords with the feeling of prudent men of business in the City, who conduct their own affairs precisely upon the same principle. The only subject upon which much notice has been bestowed is the arrangement proposed to be made with the South Sea Company. This is generally approved, as getting rid of an anomaly in the administration of the public debt, as well as affecting a considerable saving to the public. This may be illustrated in the following manner : Ile guarantee fund that has always accumulated amounts to 379,446/. 10s. stock, consisting of 122,2781. is. sd. Consols, and 257,168/. Bs. 7d.

By the Chancellor of the Exchequer's declaration, it appears that the former course will be adopted, and the annual saving, which is estimated at 11,520/., will be at once effected. This sum is composed of the expenses of management, which are set down at must s aust l hh b . 8,900/., and the "compensation in lieu of duties," set down at 3,720/.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon, as one of the labourers in the employment of M essrs. Thomson and Son, contractors at White Inch, was en deavouring to unhook two of the waggons—the first one having suddenly stopped, the second one came up with great violence, and jammed the poor fellow betwixt them, whereby he was instantly crushed to death. We understand that the unfortunate man's name was Rodger Bradly, and that he has left a widow and two children to lament his loss. Immediately on the accident occurring, all hands dropped work, and the majority of them showed their deep feeling for their unfortunate neighbour by accompanying his corpse home to Partick. —Glasgow Post. ATTEMPT TO MURDER. - - - BRIGHTON, APRIL 30.—1 t appears that a few weeks ago, in consequence of the dePredations committed by persons in Stammer Park, in search of birds' nests, that a man named Carter and one or two others were set to watch for tres passers. Shortly afterwards a labourer named Beard, who lived near Carter's house, was taken up for trespassing on the park, and immediately conveyed before the Earl of Chiches ter. Beard had been working for a farmer, and, in conse quence of his misconduct, he was discharged. This took place about three weeks ago. Last Saturday evening Carter went to bed soon after nine o'clock; leaving his wife up. She was at work till twelve, when she also went to bed. She had scarcely put out the light, when she heard the report of a gun, and almost at the same time the window was struck. Carter was asleep, but his wife soon awoke him, and they both got up, and d►d not go to bed again that night. On ex amining the room they discovered that one of the panes of glass had been shot through, apparently with a bullet ; and, on a further examination, they found some broken pieces of marble, which had evidently been shot through and hit the bed-post, on which was a mark. Early on Sunday morning Carter acquainted Sergeant Phillips, of the East Sussex con stabulary, with these circumstances. Phillips immediately proceeded to Beard's house, and, finding the door fastened, .he knocked for admittance. No one came, and Phillips ob tained an entrance by the window. On going into Beard's bed-room he found a gun, which appeared to have been re cently used. It had been wiped out, and the flint was taken out and laid on the drawers. A tobacco pipe was also dis covered, into which some powder had been recently poured. Phillips having ascertained that Beard was at Kingston, pro ceeded thither, and apprehended him. He was conveyed to Lewes, and on Monday was brought up 14efore one of the Lewes magistrates, but in the absence of some material evi dence, Thillips requested that he might be remanded till Tuesday (yesterday) afternoon, which was accordingly done. MURDER AT BATTERSEA. • (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) I ; Tuesday - a more accurate personal description of the sup posed murderer was sent by route to the different stations of the Metropolitan Police and elsewhere than that furnished on Monday night. He is described as being 50 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height, dark hair, bald in the front of the head, has a deep scar on his forehead, small square cut whiskers, and is supposed to be dressed in a black surtout coat, black velvet waistcoat, with blue gls ss buttons, black stock, and rather broad-trimmed hat ; he has absconded from his lodgings, and expressed his intention of committing suicide. The police, in the course of their inquiries, have ascertained that the deceased and Augusta Dalmas, the murderer's youngest daughter, left home between seven and eight o'clock on Monday evening; that they were met near to Battersea bridge by Dalmas, who accompanied them to the house of Mrs. Polley, No. 9, Bolton-place, Upper Church-lane, Chelsea, where he had obtained a situation for his daughter. The girl states, that her father and Mrs, M'Farlane saw her to the door, took her boxes into the passage, and they then left her ! This was about half-past eight o'clock. The chain of evidence is then broken until about ten o'clock, when a woman saw them together at the foot of the bridge on the Chelsea side. It having been ascertained that the prisoner had visited Charlotte, who is the second eldest daughter, and is in the service of Mr.'Patrick, 18, Montpelier-square, Brompton, Inspectors Busain and Sheppard proceeded thither yesterday afternoon, and those officers gleaned particulars, of which the following is a correct synopsis :—'That Dalmas came to her at a quarter past eleven o'clock—about three-quarters of an hour after the murder took place. He was so pale, and trembled so much, that his daughter, who received him on the door-step, became exceedingly alarmed, and entreated of him to tell her what was the matter. Her father, in a loud and passionate tone, said, " I have poisoned Mrs.lllTar lane." His daughter dropped on her knees, and, embracing her father, said," Tell me, oh tell me what you have done? You cannot have done that." He replied, " No, I've not poisoned her, but I've given her that which will do for her." 'The daughter stated that she then caught hold of her father's hand; it was cold, and had an open knife in it, which cut her finger, and it bled profusely. The murderer then took his daughter's finger with his left hand, raised his right, in which the knife was, but giving her finger a violent wrench he dropped it, and darted from her. Since that time he has not been heard of. The letters found at his lodgings in Montpelier-place are ver lengthy. They are certainly not the production of a man labouring under excitement, although allusion to self destruction is constantly made. The murderer is said to have come from the south of France. He is not only a clever operative chemist, but an excellent linguist. A most melancholy occurrence has happened in connec tion with this dreadful affair. Caroline, the eldest daughter of the murderer, who is in service at No. 2, Ilalkin-place, Belgrare-square, was on Tuesday morning incautiously ac quainted with the dreadful occurrence, and has since be come a maniac. No clue has as yet been obtained as to the retreat of the murderer. DEATH FROM EALCESSIVE DanninvG.—Tuesday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Ben Jonson, Palmer-street, Spitalfields, on the body of John Hopkins, aged fifty-six years. It appeared by the evidence that deceased was a weaver, and for several months past had been in the habit of drinking ardent spirits, and had not been sober a single day since the Ist of April last. On Tuesday week last he had been drinking the whole of the day, and on returning home about twelve o'clock at night, slipped from the kerb stone into the kennel, in doing which he struck himself a blow on the right eye, in which condition he was found by a police-constable. lie was thereupon conveyed to the station-house, when Mr. Mears, a surgeon, dressed his wounds, and on the following morning he was taken before the magistrate at Worship-street, who fined him five shil lings for drunkenness. The following day he complained much of his head, and he was again medically attended by Mr. Mears ; but he grew worse, and on Friday last he sud denly expired. Mr. Mears stated that deceased had died from effusion of the brain, accelerated by his habits of drink ing and the injuries he had sustained by the fall. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. Our Contemporaries are full of speculation already s ad to who will succeed Lord Ellenborough.
