' Mr. Joplin is certainly one of the most indefa tigable writers on : the currency of the present day. If he have paid much attention to other branches of political economy, the fact is unknown to us, but for twenty years he has continually written on the monetary system. His present work relates to pressures in the money market, their peta c naoo a t:si u :eo se do s ita , thinee a drs nd a plan to remedy them. We think it unnecessary to notice his inquiries into the several pressures which have taken place since 1819 ; they are somewhat vividly and rather extensively remembered ; and we shall therefore confine ourselves to Mr. Joplin's re medy. He proposes that after a certain day 1. All the bank notes in the United Kingdom, whe ther issued by private or joint stock banks, including those of the Banks of England and Ireland, shall be come the current money of the realm, the same as me tallic currency. 2. That parties holding them may receive cash for them at the Bank of England, or may obtain, from any of the banks by which they are issued, a draft, to be termed a bullion bill*, upon the Bank of England for the amount of them ; for which draft or bill, he may either receive coin or Bank of England Notes, at his option ; or he may present it to any other bank of issue in the kingdom, and receive their notes for it. 3. That notes received in purchase of a bullion bill shall be cancelled ; and that such bill, if not paid in coin or bullion by the Bank of England, shall be paid by a fresh issue cf notes, either by the Bank of England, or by any other bank of issue in England, Ireland, or Scotland, to which it may be presented. 4. That the Bank of England shall purchase all bul lion presented to it by a fresh issue of notes, or by a receipt, which shall be an order upon an other bank in England, Ireland, or Scotland, to which it shall be pre sented for payment, to be paid by a fresh issue of notes. 5. That each bank shall become indebted to the Go vernment for the amount of its circulation, and such further amount as may be necessary for its till. 6. That a Board of Commissioners shall be esta blished in London, to settle and conduct the details of the plan, on such conditions and with such powers as Parliament shall determine. With all due respect to this ingenious gentleman we must at once enter our protest against this scheme for converting promises to pay to the extent of 30,000,0001. sterling, into actual money, thereby giving 30,000,000/. to the bankers, who are now indebted that sum to the public. The parties holding these notes are to receive cash for them at the Bank of England, or a bullion bill. Now, supposing the Newcastle Joint Stock Bank to have issued such notes to the amount of 1,000,0001. sterling, what justice is there in giving the holders of them cash at the Bank of England ? The Bank might send one of its own clerks to London and get 100,000 sove reigns. It is, in fact, to be the debtor of the State to the amount of its notes in circulation, but Mr. Joplin proposes that the notes which are the record of its debt, shall he cancelled, and if not cancelled, being declared to be money, they would be equivalent to a payment.. Mr. Joplin'-scheme of converting, by Act of Parliament, all bank notes into current money of the realm, is neither more nor less than a scheme to give to the bankers who ,have issued notes about 30,000,000/. sterling. If the proposition had been that the bank notes now in circulation might be exchanged for " bullion bills" to be issued by a national bank, such bank notes to constitute a debt from the bank issuing them to the nation, to be redeemed or paid within some certain period, such as six, twelve, eighteen, or twenty-four months, those bullion . bills to con stitute money, there might be justice in the propo sition ; but we apprehend the issuing bankers would by no means be pleased to see national bullion bills substituted for their promises to pay. Considering the project of a national bank as the most feasible one which the public are now likely to adopt, we cannot approve of Mr. Joplin's plan to carry it into execution, in a manner so advantageous to the present issuers of notes as to convert their 30,000,0001. of debt into current money. Nor, in considering the propo:,ition to make promises to pay money, can we forget Burke's celebrated re mark, that paper was valuable on the Exchange because it had no value in Westminster-hall ? We must further state, that Alr. Joplin's notions of a currency do not agree with ours. His aim and object is to have " a paper currency that would work precisely as if the currency were metallic." This is to be effected by " the establishment of one bank of issue for the three kingdoms, not al lowed to increase or diminish its circulation except on an importation or exportation of the pre cious metals." It is plain that paper is substi tuted for bullion for two reasons, first, because bullion cannot be obtained in sufficient quantities, and secondly, because the use of it is cheaper than bullion. If therefore we are only to have a paper currency, varying precisely as a metallic currency, one of the objects, that of abundance, for which paper is introduced, will be lost, and only the other, namely, the cheapness, obtained. But the effect of substituting the cheap for the dear commodity-50,000,0001. of paper notes, worth intrinsically 1001. for 50,000,000/. sterling of gold —is to set so much capital at liberty, to lay the foun dation for so much additional production, and to create a demand for an increased quantity of money to bring the commodities to market. The substi tution of paper for bullion begets therefore a want of an increased circulation, and to limit the amount of paper, as Mr. Joplin proposes, by the importa tion or exportation of precious metals, is to deprive the paper substitute for metal of one of its great advantages. Mr. Joplin confounds two things th&t are dif ferent, namely, value and quantity. Making paper notes payable on demand in bullion is au excellent means for preserving them at the same level cifillue paper i sn c i o s m p always re d as the bullion ; but that is not equivalent to restri t int an metallic standardthe s o a fme value iamountiao which ibullion.ch liable to be converted, has been aptly likened to the imperial gallon deposited in the custody of the t.Sopae all the of the measures Houseof capacityof in t h Commons,e almost invariable standard, subject to none of the bruisings and batterings of daily use, by which they n t i l s i t i h s is not the may be, but which paper is at any and alnlitt:taioNm,euenlsd., corrected and reformed. But maintaining that as the standard, so that the paper money shall be ex posed to no greater fluctuation in value than the pi T lea e t ce a ex l pf ( oo i rs n e( d ido e e itn c o l g i f t es couldfewer Ii iti e ci a ts s u i aa l easily i °eh, error, o, s r l i t : o u w itt ing one great purpose for which paper money is employed, to limit its quantity by the importation and exportation of the precious metals. No doubt that would exercise some influence over the quan tity of money in circulation, were matters left per fectly free, but it is wrong to make that importation or exportation, by law, the guide for the emission or calling in of paper money. We apprehend thattooneoircgorekatte purpose use of money is, by most of the speculators on the currency, overlooked. Undoubtedlyi4 one to of its functions is, already in existence, to which these specula-. tors confine themselves ; but another * The term bullion bill, appears to me to explain best the character of the draft, but a bank post bill, or name, which distinguished it from a common commercial bill, will do as well. A name, however, is necessary for clearness, and if not given, the public would Make the distinction by adopting some name of their own. contribute to the future production of commodities. It is true that future production is based on past production, or while men are producing they are consuming what has already been created, but as the future production is to be greater than the past, as every year —as the rule—produces more than the preceding year, there is a necessity for the in crease of money every year. Now this necessary increase may be supplied by paper representing the future production, while there may be a diminu tion of the bullion brought to market. All genuine mercantile paper has, in fact, fu ture production for its basis, and correctly represents the increasing want. But, this very important function of money, by which it aids future production, would be largely curtailed were the principle of regulating the paper by the quantity of bullion, imported and exported, brought to market, carried into execution. This is an objection on principle, not only to Mr. Joplin's scheme, but to most of the schemes for regulating the currency which we have seen, and we doubt much whether any of them will be successful. ALMANACKS FOR 1840. BRITISH ALMANAC, AND COMPANION FOR IS4O. These twin publications still maintain their ori ginal character for variety of details, correct lists, and useful and interesting information. There are other Almanacs perhaps as good, none better ; but the " British Almanac" has led the way in the vast change which has taken place in the last twelve years in these useful publications. Mr. Knight has created a complete revolution in this respect, and consequently must come in for a share of the merit which now belongs to most of them. The Almanac this year, in addition to the usual tables and calendar, has a table for finding the time of sun setting and rising in any part of the United Kingdom, the height of high water at the London Docks for the morning and afternoon of every day in the year, and the Railroad Stations, with the times of departure from London. The Companion contains a number of original articles, among which those on Public Health ; the History of the Post-office, and the Railways of Great Britain are deserving of especial notic e . It may sa f e l y b e pro nounced the most comprehensive and useful work of the sort published in this country. THE COMIC A LMANACK. Tilt, London, 1839. The Comic Almanack has been always a favour ite with us, and this year it is more smartly and cleverly written, both in prose and verse, than it has yet been. A tale illustrative of the popular amuse ments of each of the twelve months, under the title of " Barber Cox, and the Cutting of his Comb," is introduced with happy effect, and will be sure to be a favourite with the lovers of light, humourous literature. The squat, vulgar barber, in particular, is admirably hit off, and his conversations are full of character. Nor does he exhibit to less advantage in Cruikshank's illustra tions. George works out the author's idea in the aptest spirit of drollery. Not a personal trait is omitted. He is as close a comment on the text, as Phiz's Nicholas Nickleby. What, for instance, can be richer than the enriched Parvenu's self complacent chuckle when he enters for the first time a fashionable ball-room ? He is not at all asto- nished at finding himself there. Not he ! He feels that he is there by right. He stands on the justice of the case. He is in full possession of cash—has a magnificent gold watch-chain with a bunch of seals as big as a Dutch cabbage, dangling half-way down to his knees ;—what more fit and proper, then, than that one thus lavishly endowed, should shine a bright:star in the galaxy of fashion ? The evident surprise of the gay folks about him, appears to occasion hint no other feeling than that of a lofty pity for their inability to appreciate his golden worth. Never was vulgar, simpering self-sufficiency more feli citously pourtrayed than in Cruikshanks' de lineations of this newly-enriched barber. What gusto in his dance at Christmas, with a fat lady whose nose turns up like a fish-hook ! Not a single movement of his limbs but seems the direct inspiration of St. Vitus. We say nothing of his luxuriant black hair, which goes floating away at the back of his head, like the smoke of a steam boat, but how expressive and unsophisticated the enjoyment depicted in his fat, fubsy phiz ! Of time, tune, and propriety of attitude, he has clearly not the slightest notion. The essence of good dancing he conceives to consist in alertness and a parade of muscular energy; and accordingly he goes perspiring along the mazes of the dance, like a prize-ox in the dog-days. The remaining Illustra tions, especially the astrological sketch, evince all that grotesque, fantastic humour in which Cruik shank surpasses all the artists of his day. ENGLISH BIJOU ALMANACK. ,Schloss, London, 1839. By the aid of a magnifying glass of no inconsi derable power, we have been enabled to examine the contents of this Lilliputian Almanack, which is one of the greatest curiosities we know of. Con ceive a volume—for so, we suppose, it must be called—no bigger than an ogre's thumb-nail, yet containing portraits of Moore, Mrs. Hall, Shee, and others, together with poems by Lover, and a com plete Calendar for the ensuing year ! Why, it almost realizes the old fable about the Iliad in a nutshell ! Mr. Lover is the editor of this little fairy production, whose merits, we fear, must be taken on trust by short-sighted people, for to them its portraits and its poetry will be nearly equally invisible. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. HANOVER, Nov. 22.—As soon as the King has re turned from his hunting party, and the Prussian Princes, who are expected to-morrow, have left us, the new draft of the Constitution, proposed by the Committee, will be laid before his Majesty. After it has been examined we may expect a decision respecting the convocation of the Estates. It is believed that a very modified right of co-operation in the legislation given to the Estates, will be the only point in which some concession may expected from the King. The Finances present immense difficulties. The re-establishment of the state of things in 1819, without any alteration, is quite incompatible with th e i n t eres t o f t h e Ki ng . The present deputies, if they remain alone in the Chamber, will not agree to modifications without trembling, because the entire influ ence of the Estates depended on this point, and the re sponsibility to the country, if an error is committed, is very great. We should then have an absolute Monarchy wihout a representative Constitution. STOCKHOLM, Nov. I 2 . —The last Diet made a pro posal to the Government for the general establishment of popular schools. All the Bishops and Consistories received orders to give their opinions on the subject, and Bishop Tegrer, the em i nent poet, with his Consistory, sent in an opinion, from which the following passages are quoted :—The Consistory is of opinion that the educa tion of the working classes should be essentially religious. Other knowledge may not only be dispensed with, but often be considered as injurious. Half knowledge con verts the peasant into a reader of newspapers, a county politician, which is the worst that a peasant can become. In the Diet, that half knowledge tends to make the peasant a grumbler and a malcontent. It is melan choly see in the Diet how the Swedish peasant is altered, who, in the days of his glory, looked upon it as his destination to love and to honour God and the King. Th e newspaper i s hi s Bi b le, and talking politics his favourite occupation.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN STEVENSON'S EQUARE,MANCHESTER.-A bout one o'clock on Thursday morning it was discovered that the shop of Mr. Kearsley, joiner and builder, situate in Spear-street, Stevenson's square, was in flames. Owing to some delay, it was near two o'clock before the engines were got to work, and the building in which the fire originated was then completely enveloped in flames. From the combusti ble nature of the materials it was found impossible to save any part of the building ; the flames also extended to an adjoining cottage occupied by a reed-maker, named Lyons, who, with his wife and three children, bad a very narrow escape ; the whole of his furniture was destroyed. Several houses on the opposite side of Spear-street, which is not more than six or eight y ar d s w i de, caught fire, but none of them were injured materially. The greatest danger was on the opposite side of Mr. Kearsley's shop, contiguous to which was an extensive wood-yard. A great portion of the wood was got out, but it was with the utmost difficulty that Mr. Rose, the active superintendent of our fire police, could prevent the whole from becoming a mass of flame. The flames were got under control in little more than an hour ; but it is still necessary for 9m building engin e to rema i n on the spot to play on the smoul dering em b ers, Mr. Kearsley's stock was only insured after On the Su n d a y even i n g first the discovery least 2,0001.

BICESTER : SINGULAR TEXT. --On Monday evening last, a preacher in a Wesleyan Chapel, not a hundred miles from Upper Heyf or d, t h us addressed his congregation :—” All who are for the devil, stand up!" Not one arose. " All who are for the Lord stand up !" Up started every man, woman, and child in the chapel ; from which circumstance the Rev. Gen. tleman took occasion to deliver a fervent address on the necessity imposed on his hearers to make their lives correspond with the profession so publicly made.-ox ford Chronicle. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Chronicle.) A clever and well-informed correspondent, who as sumes the signature of " Detector," has sariAed us, from the instances he has specified, that the impudent attempt of some of the Tory journals, to fasten a charge of profligacy on her Majesty's Court, might easily be punished by exposures n 'fief' woul_d compel numbers cf tile fashionable Torie s to hide their heads for shame. It may be true, as our cerrespondent pointedly ob serves, that " personal abuse, as at present exercised, is very smpudent, and vulgar impudence totally unop posed because very impudent ;" and it is hardly in the nature of things, that a war against. private character should be long carried on without leading to severe retaliation ; but when we reflect on the con sequences, both to society and to numerous private ' ' families, of dragging into public view the vices of individuals, we would rather leave to the lianoverians the monopoly of the laurels to be reaped in such a strife, than degrade ourselves to their level by embarking in it. " The first daring allusions to profli gacy in her Majesty's Court," says "Detector," " I be lieve, originated in the Times. The dirt naturally was thrown torn the foulest puddle ;" but has not the base ness of the attempt done more injury to the Tories than to their opponents ? ' The stains on the character of some of: the men, who, if the Tories were to come into office to-morrow, must act leading parts, are so foul, affording evidence, not merely of turpitude, but of meanness and dishonour, that the base warfaCe in which the Tory Journals have engaged onl) adds to the disgust of the public. In truth, the greatest indignation has been generally expressed by the respectable portion of the Press, throughout the country, at the scandalous conduct to which we have alluded. The Scotsman, a Journal, which, from its commencement to the present day, has never deviated an instant from' --trti 'honourable and straightforward course, and has been conspicuous for its respect for all the charities and decencies of life, observes, with refer ence to the notice taken by the Times of some articles in the Chronicle respecting Queen Adelaide, " With unparalleled effrontery the Times assumes a tone of high indignation, and professes to repel the attack with a ' scornful execration ;': while, in the same breath, the brazen bully throws out iniinuations against his young Sovereign, which could only apply to the, most worth less of her sex! There is nothing in the whole his tory of party more scandalous and revolting than the at tempt so unblushingly made to blacken Queen Victoria's character, by fixing the stigma of profligacy on her. Court. If the charge came from men of austere virtue or gloomy fanaticism, we might pity the darkness and error in which it originated ; but coming as it does from those who, not many years ago, were the fawning cour tiers and noisy eulogists of a Monarch of notoriously lax morals, we turn with disgust from its mingled baseness and hypocrisy." Sir Robert Peel cannot disassociate himself from the foul proceedings of his party. From one end of the country to the other the Tories have exhibited themselves as utterly reckless in their indul gence of calumny. They have had recourse to all Man- ner of disho no u ra bl e expe di ents to f urt h er their cause, i courting aid from the lowest prejudices, and stooping to the dirtiest machinations. The conduct of the Tories has indeed afforded evidence of a deep-seated immorality and want of principle, from which the national character cannot escape uninjured in the estimation of the world. The disgrace of this must attach to the leadiflg states men of the party ; •and, however respectable Sir Robert Peel may be in his private life, he will assuredly silf.a. from the tactics with which he is associated. (From the -g ni/67.7rin g Post.) Among, the evidences of dignified self-possession and calm confidence in the excellence of their position, which Whig-Radical politicians display A t the present moment, we request the attention of our readers to the following extract from a Ministerial Journal of yes terday : Toryism is the same throughout—from beginning to end, trom top to bottom. It grasps at everything ; lets go nothing ; skulks, evades, fawns, insults ; and covets at once the credit of the confessor and the gains of the pick pocket. It is an unsightly fungus on the trunk of huma- nity---a noisome ulcer on the British character." Were Tories to adventure upon a strain of eloquence so rapturous as this, it would be at once attributed to " desperation" —nothing else could be supposed capable of elevating them to such choice sublimities of indigna tion. But as the passage is Whig-Radical and Ministe rial, a different estimate must be formed of it—particu larly at Downing -street. It must be held to be mode-. rate, mild, considerate ; written by some one under the " inspiration" (as the author of The Sea Captain would say) of a very nice sense of justice, and a profound conviction of the sacredness of truth. It moat be assumed that the party which holds such language t ie highly justified, as well by its own practice irs by its lofty and undeviating principles of propriety, in de nouncing the after-dinner vehemence of Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Roby, and in consigning all gentlemen in the gross, and officers of the army in particular, to the most dismal realms of infamy and disgrace if, being pre sent where violent political language is used, they do not instantly interfere to rebuke it. The utterers of the above-quoted language being Whig-Radiotals, it must be held to be precisely what it should be, in feel ing and in spirit. Military officers who read it aloud with approbation —we specially recommend it to the ad miration of Lord Hill—must be considered singularly loyal and soundly discreet; and if there be any such thing as a clergyman of taste so refined as to appreciate the beauties of the passage, he must hare immediate patronage, as a remarkable instance of sober judgment am', delicate propriety amongst a body of men 'not apt to hold Whig-Radical views upon such matters As humble labourers in the Tory cause it might be supposed that we should have something to say, in opposition to the passage we have had the lionour.to quote. But we candidly confess that such a passage seems to us rather beyond the reach, or out of the line, of any direct process of adverse logic which we could use. Such eloquence as we have quoted is unagrer able by argument. Its literary beauty is, hoviever, Open to examination, and, as we have no jealousy in that re spect, we cannot but congratulate the Ministerialists on the glowing quality of the rhetoric which they em ploy. The vulgar excellency of clearness and mile rency is not indeed aimed at (apparently) in the above extract ; but the vivacity and variety of ideas are con spicuous. " Toryism is the same throughout." It is not one thing now, and now another, but " the same." Very well, what next ? It is "an un sightly fungus." Good again ;—and what does this Toryism —that is, " this fungus"—what does it do ? Why, "it grasps at every thing—lets go nothing—skulks, evades, fawns, insults, covets," and so on. Great is the genius which maihes a " fungus" do all this, and yet as Toryism is the same throughout— once a fungus and always a fungus,—it must be the said fungus" which does all these queer things. The " fungus" is said to be an ulcer as well—a pretty idea, wad not, we believe, altogether tinchirurgical. Ulcerated fungi we think we have heard of (though we are not very certain), but they have 'this peculiarity, that they are not sore. This abundantly exemplifies their analogy with Toryism, which somehow or other, with all the defects and unsightliness that the Whig-Radicals find in it, seems to be neither pained nor irritated, but quite the contrary. But what does this Toryism, i. e. this " fungus"—what does ie covet ? Why, "it covets at once the credit of the confessor and the gains of the pickpocket." This is a charming figure of opposition, or antithesis, intended, we suppose, to stimulate the fancy in the endeavour to find out where the oppo sition lies. We own that we have not yet ourselves found out what the credit of the confessor" meat ; nor is it to be supposed that we should know, so much about there matters as Ministerial gentlemen who are so deeply in the confidence of the Romanists. As to coveting the gains of pickpockets, we suppose this is only another way of saying, what the Whig- Radicals have -so often said before, that all the Tories want is to obtain those emoluments of which they (the Whig-Radicals) are now in possession. But tempting as are th e b eaut i es o f t hi s one passage of mild, consi derate Ministerialisru, which so abhors all violence o f speech, we mus t not con fi ne ourse l ves exclusively to it. Here is another cluster of philosophical and rhetorical charms To his opinions the Absolutist or the R e p u bli can has an unquestionable right, and to their peaceful expression , And if he bears with dignity the injurious conseq uences to himself of what society deems his erroneous opinions he is entitled to respect. But not so those who basely Ate rate ; who employ the means of falseh oo d f or the en s of faction ; who put on the mask of hypocrisy, and kindle the hell-fire of bigotry; who have crawled the most servilely as they now bully the most ferociously ; and who, when they ought like honest men to bear the burden of their blunders, in whatever privati ons i t may impose, wriggle, and quibble, and equivocate, while affecting to look big, and exhibit a Janus h ea d o f knave and martyr. " What amiable toleration in the opening of this pas sage ! The Ab so l ut i st or ;Le Republican has an un questionable right to his opinions. This is " libe rality." But a Con stitutionalist—a Torv—he is wor thy of no such favour —hoe is a 6. fungus" —an " ulcer;" and though hi s op i nions be supported by a majority of British Members in the House of Commons, and by a yet larger majority of the House of Lords, that makes him all the worse and more odious. Is he not, there fore, the more dangerous? It is a pity, however, that in this view of pli,losophv the Whig Radicals have but borrowed Ireland. These worthy people are said of a i leaf from the old book of the ultra- Protestants to hav e in scr ib e d upon t h e ga t es of Bandon, in the county of C0 , ..k, the following prohibitory and permis sive notification : " Good people all, Jew, Turk, or Athist, I\lay enter here, but not a Papist." It is evident that from this example the Whig-Radi cals have derived their notion of Absolutists and Re publicans being far more tolerable than Tories, espe cially if they bear with dignity the prejudices of soci ety regarding them. There is, however, one orris sioe. in the above passage which rather surprises us. Why were not those clean-thonghted personages, the: " So cialists," introduced, as well as Absolutists and I Lepulyli cans Surely a class, whose head and lea ,der the nice and delicate-minded Lord Melbourne is do- 1 . -'.../ --.A
