Mr. r. COWAN thought them rather premature. Provost MILLER replied, that although the Premier did not threaten immediate interference, yet his whole observations were indicative of such intention, and that, perhaps, at no distant period. The resolutions , were unanimously agreed to, and or dered to be published. The meeting then broke up: the last-mentioned Bill the Committee had examin, THE CURRENCY and MONETARY LAWS. A LECTURE on Sir ROBERT PEEL'S CURRENCY. PLANS, showing the way in Which they will affect all classes of the community, illustrated by an interesting Series of Statistical Diagrams, will be given at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, on TUESDAY, June 11, 1844, at One o'clock precisely.

That the capital proposed to be raised by the said Bill is 100,000/, and that it is not proposed to authorise 'the raising by loan or mortgage a sum greater than one third of the capital, and that until one-half of the capital is paid up the Company are not to have power to raise any money by loan or mortgage.. 2. That 6,750 shares, amounting to 135,000/, have been subscribed for, and the deposits paid thereon amount to 13,500/. 3. That the appendix contains the names and resi dences of the shareholders, distinguishing therein the directors or provisional committee, with the amount of shares taken by each, and shows also the shareholders who subscribe 2,000/. and upwards. 4. That there is one shareholder who may, be con sidered as having a local interest in the line, and the amount of capital subscribed by him is 10,000/ 5. That the present means of conveyance and commu nication between the proposed termini are insufficient for agricultural, commercial, manufacturing, and other pur p , ses. The present amount of traffic by land and water, the average charges made for passengers and goods, and time occupied, are stated in the appendix. 6. That the number of passengers, and the weight and description of goods expected .upon the proposed Rail way, are stated in the appendix. 7. That the amount of income expected to arise from the conveyance of passengers and goods, and in what proportion, and generally the description. of goods from which the largest revenue is expected, are stated in the appendix. 8. That the proposed railway is a complete and in tegral line between the termini specified ; viz., from Ep som to a junction with the London and Croydon Rail way at Croydon. 9. That excepting the proposed Epsom and South- Western Railway, there is before Parliament no other competing line existing, or in progress, or in contem plation. The Committee are of opinion that the line recommended by them is entitled to preference for rea sons stated in a former part of their report. 10. That the railway is proposed to be worked throughout by stationary engines on the atmospheric principle, but power is taken in the Bill to use locomo tive engines. 11. That there are no peculiar engineering difficulties in the proposed line. There is no tunnel on the pro posed line. 12. That the gradients and curves are not unfavour able, the steepest gradient being 1 foot in 100, and the smallest radius of a curve being 40 chains. 13. That the length of the proposed railway is 8 miles and 152 yards, and there are no branches. 14. That it is not proposed to cross on a level any public carriage road or turnpike road. ' 15. That the amount of the estimates of the cost and other expenses to be incurred up to the time.of the com pletion of the railway is 180,0001, and these estimates appear to be supported by evidence, and to be fully ade quate for the purpose. 16. :That the estimated charge of the annual expenses of the railway is 301. per cent. on the expected annual income, and the calculations on which this charge is es timated have been sufficiently 'proved. 17. That the calculations proved in evidence before the Committee have established that the revenue is likely to be, sufficient to support the annual charges of the maintenance of the railway, and still allow a profit to the projectors. That Mr. Cubitt, Mr. Brunel, Mr. Samuda, and Mr. Gibbons, were the engineers examined in support of the Bill, and Mr. Locke and Mr. Robert Stephenson in favour of the competing line. THE SCOTCH BANKING SYSTEM'. A special meeting of Council was held on Wednesday, the 15th May, Provost Miller in the chair—for the pur pose of considering the Scottish Banking system, in con sequence of the scheme propounded in the House of Commons by the Premier, on the question of the re newal of the Bank of England charter. No previous notice having been given, the standing orders were de parted from; and The PROVOST rose and said—lt may be imagined that Scotland is comparatively little interested in the pro posed measure for altering the law relating to bank ing and currency, which is under discussion in Par liament. This, however, is a narrow and very short sighted view of the question. Whatever affects the pros perity of England must exercise a powerful influence over that of Scotland; and whatever principle is applied to this most important branch of our com mercial system in England, as well as the mode in which it may be carried into practical operation, must, it is manifest, ere long be extended to Scotland. 'lt, therefore, becomes a matter of the deepest interest to Scotland to ascertain the aim and ultimate tendency of the proposed changes. To attain a clear view of the character and scope of this measure, it is necessary to take into consideration the whole scheme, and the principle upon which it proceeds. The principle en deavoured to be established, and to which the House of Commons is invited to commit itself, is, " that the notes in circulation should, under all` circumstances, vary with the efflux aad influx of bullion." This is a disputed question, and its truth is denied by writers of eminence, as well alby tlie greater number of bankers. There is only one mode of effectually carrying it into practical operation, and that mode is one bank of issue for the whole kingdon, with the total suppression' of all local banks of issue. But Sir R. Peel, being well aware that this proposition, if nakedly stated, and its inevitable consequences clearly explained, would rouse an opposition he could.not overcome, limits the imme diate Operation of his scheme merely to establishing the principle that the currency ought to be governed by the foreign exchanges. But remarkable skill and ingenuity is displayed in framing the scheme in such a manner as gradually, though with equally certainty in the end,; to effect the same result as if all local issues were at otice suppressed. The departments of deposit and issue are to be distinctly separated in the Bank of Er!g land. The principle is thin fully applied, but in such a manner as to interfere little with the profiti of that establishment. Local banks are not deprived of their currency, but restricted to the average issue of the lest three years, and they cannot, on the ground of either permanently increased business, or any temporary cause, exceed this amount. As the old banks deop off, no new bank of issue is permitted to be esta blished. Whatever, therefore, was the amount of their currency, must be supplied by the Bank of England ; and as by far the larger proportion of the country Or • culation of England is furnished by private banks, it is evident -the natural course of events will throw it till into the e by ßa t n h k e f temporary England. Existing banks are thus monopoly improperly given them at the expense of the public, not -to offer the 'measure that opposition which the immediate suppres sion of their currency would certainly have roused. o But it requires little sagacity to see that, at the end of ten years at farthest, this privilege will be with drawn. Indeed, it appears more than doubtful if it will be allowed' to remain so long undisturbed: for the measure will, iii my apprehension, _instead of steadying commercial matters, have a tendency to create greater alternationS of inflated prosperity and deep depression; when its failure will be, attributed, not to its true cause, but to the circumstance of the principle not being fully carried out.. Whether this supposition is right or wrong, it is clear the object of the measure will at the end of ten years be attained, and one central bank of issue in London will supply the currency of the whole kingdom, regulated in its quantity by the foreign ex changes. Thus, throngh the natural and almost imper ceptible action of tbe machinery this scheme sets in motion, the .notes of the Bank of England and gold will' gradually supplant - those of the present issuers ; and•when this is effected, the ultiinate result, on those districts whose currencies hare been suppressed, will be as disastrous as if the principle had at once been carried to its fullest extent. It is the agricultural and remote districts which will suffer most severely, as they are the chief field of the -country issuers. These districts will therefore be deprived •to a great extent of the banking accommodation and supplies, of capital, to 'aid local enterprise and industry, which they present enjoy. But, it may be said, Scotland is 1 . touched. Leaving out of 'view the manifest con queece of any injury inflicted on England, it would be a fatal delusion to remain quiet in the expectation_ of being left alone on that ground. Sir R. Peel himself furnishes the reason• for this—" He does not wish to bring around his head the storm the idea even of the application of such a principle to her currency would raise. He wishes simply to " establish principle. Let those, however, which be proposes, be once esta blished in England, and England will aid in forcing them to their full extent upon Scotland. There is even now a great jealousy of the prevailing difference of our being permitted to enjoy the benefits of a purely paper currency, undisturbed by the panics and- distrust which in England have so often impeded industry, and have lately, to a certain extent, robbed the working classes of a portion of their hard-earned rewards, from the defective state of the gold coinage. From this Scotland has altogether escaped. But increase the difference by applying to England still more stringent regulations relating to her banking and currency, and he must be blind indeed who does not perceive that the Prime Minister, even although himself reluctant (which he evidently is not), would be compelled by England to assimilate in every respect the laws of the two countries, by substituting gold for the small notes, and applying the same principles as well as the same machinery to work them out. The plan is simply to effect this object by taking the banking establisments of the three 'countries in detail, and to enforce the application of principles which, with the aim openly and broadly stated, a united opposition would render impossible. The people of Scotland have the reputa tion of long-sightedness • but if they permit this measure to be applied to 'England, under the delusion of being undisturbed, the event will prove that it has failed them on this occasion. It is even a delusion to imagine we will be allowed to retain( ar small notes for ten years. Sir Robert leaves himself entirely at liberty to deal with Scotland immediately, as he has dealt with England. To her banking system Scotland owes much of her prosperity. That system is founded upon free competition, and the power bankers derive from the use of their currency to allow a comparatively high rate of interest on deposits. Supplant local is suers by the notes of one central bank of issue, and although-there will still be banks, our excellent system, which has been so instrumental in promoting the pros perity of every branch of domestic enterprise and industry, will be annihilated. Scotland is the only country in the world where a free system of banking and currency has been fairly tried, and in no quarter of the world have more benefits been conferred by banks on the public, mixed with fewer evils. Banking accommodation has been afforded on cheaper terms, capital more extensively diffused and subdivided, so as to meet the wants of all engaged in every branch of productive industry, however humble. The loss sus tained by insolvency has been comparatively small ; and panics, which have again and again desolated England, havei been almost unknown; whilst the re turns of the circulation of Scotland, printed by order of the House -of Commons, furnishes incontrovertible evidence that, instead of being excessive in its absolute amount, and in its fluctuations from year to year, it is proportionally to the wealth and population of Scotland, restrained within morellimited bounds than that of any country of which we possess any authentic evidence. To pass over in almost total silence so striking an illus tration of the results of free competition, and to wander across the Atlantic in search of an example to prove that convertibility. is not, where competing issuers are permitted, a sufficient safeguard against excess, is, to say the least, a singular oversight ; whilst to assert that the banks of America were powerful joint stock banks, under wise regulations, and generally with unlimited responsibility, is a misrepresenta tion of • the actual circumstances. The banks of America were, almost without any exception, chartered State banks. with their liabilities limited. The guarantee for their liabilities was entirely dependent on their paid up capital ; and as the shareholders were in most banks permitted to draw to a certain extent upon the stock they held, the security to the public was almost wholly illu sory. Their notes thus became depreciated, not from excess, but from reckless mismanagement and fraudulent bankruptcy. To deduce, therefore, from the disasters of American banking, an argument against competition, would-be as reasonable as to assume that no nation will maintain its public faith inviolate because the States of America have repudiated their debts. Yet it is upon such grounds as these that Sir R.. Peel proposes a scheme which must eventually alter the whole banking system of the em pire—upon an untried and unproved theory, admitted to be at variance with-the opinions of Smith and Ricardo, and on uncertain illustration drawn from a distant country ; whilst close at hand there is an example, sup ported by evidence which it is impossible to controvert, satisfactorily establishing conclusions directly at variance with those which form the basis of his whole plan. Having stated my views thus fully on this all-important question, I beg to submit for the approval of the Council the following resolution in which these views are em bodied : Mr. PAUL seconded these resolutions. The following is the abstract of the resolutions re ferred to That the Magistrates and Council, view with much alarm and dissatisfaction, the - alterations proposed by the Prime Minister, in the laws for the regulation of the Banks and Currency of England ; for; although there are several-valuable improvements—such as greater pub licity, *both regarding the . partners of these establish ments and their liabilities—which, if ingrafted on the existing system, would exercise a beneficial influence'; at the HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST.

PHILIP ROSE, Hon. See, OSBORN P. CROSS, Sec. DISSENTERS' CHAPELS BILL. -- At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE associated for opposing the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, held at Exeter Hall, this Bth day o June, 1844 The Secretaries reported, that on Thursday evening alone there were presented to the House of Commons against the Bill the vast amount of 937 petitions, including the signatures of an unprece dented number of Clergyreen of the Established Church, Rarristers, Merchants, and Bankers, and persons of all religious denominations, influenced by no political or party motives, but actuated to spon taneous exertions by a desire to prevent dangerous innovation on the established law, legislative, interference with charities for mere indivi dual and sectarian benefit, and a practical patronage of errors, which they deem fatal and unchristian. And the Committee having also considered the recent discussion in Parliament on the second reading of the BiU, SCHWEPPE'S SODA and POTASS WATERS. So much prejudice has been produced in the public mind by spurious articles, sold under these names, containing not a particle of — Alkali, that consumers are earnestly recommended to ask for SCHWEPPE'S, the original inventors, and still the largest manu facturers of these invaluable preparations. Each bottle contains the proper proportion of Alkali, scientifically amalgamated by the aid of their powerful machinery, and every genuine bottle is distinguished by a label on the cork, representing their name. This precaution is rendered necessary by unprincipled persons frequently filling Schweppe's bottles with their own composition, and paging it off as Schweppe's manteacture. SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA, for the cure of heart burn, gout, sea-sickness, &c., in bottles at Is., 24. 6d., 4s. 6d., and 105. each, manufactured with care and skill, and sold by most respectable cnemists. London, 51, Berners.street ; and at their Branch Manufactories at Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby. It was resolved, 1. That while the Committee deplore the numerous, though pro bably unintentional, misrepresentations of laws and facts so pro fusely made, and which might well influence the House—and while they protest against flippant and unfounded imputations on them of a persecuting spirit or indifference to that true religions freedom which they would ever uphold—they must entertain and announce a con tinued conviction, that a more unnecessary, unjust, and dangerous measure has never been submitted to Parliament, and have deter mined, that through every future stage modifications should be at tempted, and then, if no satisfactory improvement be made, that its final rejection on the third reading should be strenuously pursued. 2. That to the Petitioners who, with holy and honourable zeal, have supported the opposition to the Bill, the Committee offer, with their thanks their entreaties that they will not relax in their efforts, by petitions, meetings, and addresses to Members, to produce further that expression of the public opinion of the enlightened, constitu tional, and pious, which even Power, with all its Parliamentary support, may not finally disregard, and which will ensure an ultimate victory to the cause of justice and truth. ' 3. That the most cordial acknowledgments of the Committee be presented to Sir Robert Inglis, Bart., M.P.; the Right Hon. Fox Manic., M.P.; J. P. Plumtre, Esq., M.P. ; Lord Ashley, M.P.; 'and the whole minority of 117 Members of the House of Commons ; who notwithstanding all their political attachments under circumstances of peculiar disadvantage, and regardless of the temporary coalitions, confidence, and exultation& with which they had to contend, mag nanimously resisted a measure which has awakened amongst the wise and good a painful alarm, and entitled themselves to that unbought homage and augmenting regard which consistency and firmness in public men (so rare, but so important) very righteously and deeply deserve. The following are some of the reasons which have led the Magistrates and Council to the conclusions at which they have arrived:- 1. Because the principle of extending or limiting the issues of the bank notes, in obedience to the action of the foreign exchanges, is one repudiated by, and at direct variance with, the opinions of many of the most eminent authorities on this subject. 2. Because the tendency of the proposed measure being ultimately to suppress all local issues, and thereby to call gold, as the instrument of exchanges, into much greater use, must have the effect of enhancing the value of money ; and thereby aggravating the burden of all debts and engagements—an effect similar to that which in former years, spread ruin and bankruptcy over the land. . 3. Because, evidently, it is ultimately the intention of the Minister, by gradually claiming all the profits upon the issues of bank notes, to convert them into instru ments of taxation, and thus to deprive the people of those advantages they receive through the present system ; for free competition, which equalises the rate of profit on every branch of trade, under the existing system prevents the bankers from appropriating to them selves the profits of the currency. They are, therefore, transferred to the public in one shape or another, through the, intervention of a more inexpensive system of banking than will prevail when the currency is furnished by a Central Bank of Issue. Upon the public, then, and not upon bankers, will be thrown the burden of this new tax. 4. Because the Prime Minister carefully avoids pledging himself to any course with regard to Scotland. He is perfectly unfettered, and may suppress all, or any portion of the currency, if he obtains the sanction of Parliament. He has deferred all consideration of the banking system of Scotland—merely . preventing the establishment of any new bank of issue— until his " principles are established." But, if the bribe held out of a temporary monopoly to existing banks, at the ex pense of the public, neutralises opposition, and his mea sure is carried for England—he may look forward for the aid of England in suppressing or curtailing the cur rency. of Scotland, as the people of England may be expected to view with dislike and jealousy the posses sion, on the part of the Scottish nation, of an advantage not enjoyed by themselves. 5. 'Because Scotland is the only country in the worli where free competition in banking and issues has been fairly tried; and in no country has banking accommoda tion been more extensively at the command of all classes, on easier of cheaper terms, or attended with more safety. The loss sustained by insolvency has been comparativuly small. Panics almost unknown—and instead 'of the circulation being excessive, and subject to violent fluctuations, the returns, printed by order of the House of Commons, afford incontrovertible evidence, that in proportion to her wealth and population, it is both smaller in amount and more unvarying in its general character, than that of any country of which we possess any authentic evidence. But the Prime Minister overlooks so striking an illustration of the results of competition ; he wanders to America in search of an example, to prove that competing issues teed to excess, against which convertibility does not offer a sufficient safeguard. To assert, however, that the Banks of Akterica were powerful banks, generally with unlimited responsibility, and wise regulations, is a pal. pable and most unaccountable error. They were, al 'nest without any exception, Chartered State Banks, with limited responsibility ; their paid up . capital—the only guarantee for their liabilities—being . in reality almost illusory, and their notes were depreciated, not from ex cess; but from general discredit and fraudulent bank ruptcy. Thus, consequently, can no argument be de duced from hat occurred in America in support of the Prime Minister's assertion, that competition must lead to excessive issues of notes, whilst it is satisfac torily disproved by the instance of Scotland, where competition is found to be attended by a diminished amount of Bank notes, instead of an enlargement, cor .joborative in this respect of the high authority of the "-Wealth of Nations,' in the chapter on metallic and Raper currency. Lastly, The Magistrates and Council are of opinion, that, in particular, the proposed measure will press with the utmost severity upon the more remote and distant parts of Scotland, from the danger and expense of transmitting gold to and fro—and it is most probable the result will be the total withdrawal of bank agencies from those districts, which must deprive them of the banking facilities they at present enjoy ; and by . leavine - them to their own expedients, a degree of confusion in nil money transactions may naturally be expected to arise, which will not only check their advancement, but tend to make them retrograde towards that condition from which they emerged, chiefly through the easy distribution of capital so essentially promoted by the present banking system of Scotland.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY: REPORT FROM THE COMMITTEE ON THE EPSOM AND SOUTH-WESTERN AND CROY DON AND EPSOM RAILWAY BILLS. Viscount Howick reported from the Select Committee on the Epsom and South-Western and Croydon and Epsom Railway Bills (competing lines), to whom several petitions against the said Bills were referred — That the Committee had carefully considered the two Bills which had been referred to them, with regard as _ ...MM.,' TV MIS.& ••4••• well to , the question whether it is desirable to have any railway communication to Epsom, as to the comparative advantages of the two lines which have been submitted to them. Upon the first point, the Committee are satisfied tha an amount of traffic may fairly be calculated upon, be. tween London and Epsom, sufficient to justify the forMa don of one line of railway, connecting that town with one of the existing lines of railway from the metropolis, but not such as to make it proper that two different and independent lines should be made : it has therefore been the duty of the Committee to consider which of the two lines ought to be preferred. Both lines were equally unopposed by the owners of the property through which they respectively proposed to pass, the opposition which was offered by the land-owners to the Croydon line _having been withdrawn in the course of the proceedings. In favour of the South-Western line, it has been shown that the length of railway to be constructed, and the amount of capital to be expended, would be very greatly less than in the competing line • but on the .other hand, the promoters of the Croydon line have un dertaken to afford the public very greatly superior ac commodation to that which would be given by the cora petingline. It has been shown in evidence that, ifthe Croydon line should be adopted, it is intended that there should be thirteen trains a day each way ; while the promoters of the South-Western line have stated that they only contemplate running four trains a day each way, under ordinary circumstances, two only of which would provide conveyance for third-class passengers. This limited number of trains by the latter line could not, as it appears to the Committee, be increased without very great inconvenience to the long traffic of the Com pany to Southampton and Gosport. Both Companies also have handed in to the CoMmittee clauses, by which they vrereprepared to bind themselves not to exceed certain rates of charge for passengers and goods ; and upon comparing these rates, the Committee find the charges proposed by the Croydon line to be very much the lowest, and therefore the best for the pub lic. The Croydon line also, by passing near the large villages of Cheam, Sutton, and Carshalton, will provide accommodation for a much larger population than the competing line, which, after leaving Epsom and Ewell, passes through a very thinly inhabited country. These, as it appears to the Committee, are sufficient grounds for giving the preference to the Croydon line ; but further, it was urged in, favour of the Croydon line, that the pro moters of that line intend to work it not by the ordinary method of locomotive engines, but by stationary engines, and on the principle of atmospheric traction. Much evidence was adduced in favour of this system of work ing railways ; and on the other side Mr. Robert Ste phenson was examined, in order to show that it was not likely to answer. The Committee do not feel them selves competent to pronounce any opinion on the com parative merits of the two methods of working railways, but they think it right to observe, that the objections of Mr. Stephenson do not go to impugn either the practi• bility or the safety of this mode of conveyance ; all that he contends for is, that it is not likely to answer as a commercial speculation. Upon this point it has appeared to dr Committee, that they are not called upon to form any opinion ; - but it is an obvious public advantage, in their judgment, that a very important experiment should Ph; be tried, without - any co st to the p ublic, by private indi viduals, who are prepared to risk a large sum of money by laying down a rail wa y u p on this principle, and for s e e o l n v v e e s y a t n o ce a u r p a o te n w o l f i c c ] h t a t I r i g e y e a v r e e ry willing a I t l o ta r g e e s o t u ri s c t t t o h e public. That for these 'reasons the Committee bad no hesita tion in giving the preference to the Croydon and Epsom line, and they had therefore negatived the preamble of the South-Western and Epsom Railway Bill. Thatthey had examined the allegations of the-Croydon and Epsom Railviay Bill, and had found the same to be true ; and had gone through the Bill, and Made several further reported, that in the case , of amendments Viscount othereunto.ck PUBLICATIONS.

Had this nobility of person belonged to a common Mougik instead of to the Autocrat of all the. Russias, the admiration could not have been less, nor ,scarcely the feelings of moral awe. It was not the monarch who was so magnificent a man, but the man who was truly hn perial. The person .of the Emperor is that of a colossal man, in the full prime of life and health, 42 years of age, about 6 feet 2 inches high, and well filled ont, without any approach to corpulency—the head magnificently carried, a splendid breadth of shoulder and chest, great length ar.l sym metry of limb, with finely formed hands and feet. His face is strictly Grecian—forehead and nose in one grand line ; the eyes finely lined, large, open, and blue, with a 'calmness, a cpldnesS, a freezing dignity,whichcan equally quell an insurrectioli,daunt an assassin, or paralyse a petitioner; the. mouth regular, teeth fine, chin prominent, with dark moustache and small whiskers but not a sympathy on his face ! His mouth sometimes smiled , his eyes never. There was in his look which no monarch's subject could meet. His eye seeks every one's gaze, but none s can confront his.—Letters from the Baltte.

He has also been visiting the west of Scotland and the north of Ire land, delighting the lovers of song, and reaping as well as profit. On Monday week.no fewer than 1,600 persons attended his entertainment in the City Hall, Glasgow, and on the Friday following, at Ayr, he gave his " Beauties of Burns," in a locality where all are fami . . liar -with the poet's history and writing, and where, says one of the. Scotch papers, Templeton's representation of the beauties he selected, imparted,to them fresh charms. We perceive from the same journal, that it is Templeton's intention to produce an entertainment comprising his scenes and ballads from English operas. We • rejoice to see this announcement--this is ground peculiarly his own. As an operatic singer, Templeton stands alone and unrivalled. A NEARLY INCREDIBLE FACT. THERE ARE GREATER SIMPLETONS THAN SIR ROBERT PEEL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sza,—l ought to apologise to yourself and readers for returning so often to one subject—the apology is to be found in the fact, that on that one subject hangs the prosperity of the empire. The assertion which heads this letter appears to be a most daring one, but I will speedily establish its truth. The Directors of the Bank of England, Sir, are the persons whose obtuseness of intellect surpasses that of the Premier. I showed, in a former letter, that the " prfrvilggen of issuing notes to the same extent as their bullion, is a concession from which they cannot, by any pos sibility, make a gain of one penny. What results ? why, t hat the real effect of Sir Noodle's plan is, to reduce the Bank circulation to fourteen millions, or about one-third of its present amount. For this advantage, the Bank is to increase its allowance to Government. Are there not any respectable gentlemen residing in Bedlam whom the Bank Proprietors could put in the place of their present Directors ? It is quite obvious, that if the present men should recover an iota of common sense, they will net issue a single note on their bullion, but lend the bullion itself. It seems wholly to have escaped the profound mind of our unequalled Premier— (What crimes have we perpetrated to be cursed with him ?)—that de positors, as well as note-holders, are entitled to de mand gold of the Bank. Now, let us suppose, that Providence should deign to work something like a miracle, and open the eyes of the Directors—that, in consequence, they should decline to issue notes on their bullion, and lend great part of the latter. Imagine the stock reduced (as it has bean already) below two millions; that a demand for gold (for im portation of corn or otherwise) arises ; that a panic follows (panics have occurred within the last five cen turies) —what is the consequence ? Not only the holders of the fourteen millions based on the Govern ment debt, &c., come for cash, but the depositors like wise. Whence is it to be obtained ? This brings me to another Peel-ian sublimity. The real (and, if the Directors have a plain of sense, the only) paper circulation of the Bank is to rest on the debt due from the country, to the extent of eleven out of the fourteen millions. Now, is the Government the debtor, par eminence, from whom the debt can be most quickly realised in gold? Are we to understand, that if the fourteen millions of notes are driven in, the Government is bound to produce forthwith eleven millions of gold ? If not, what security have the . holders of being paid in specie ? If the Government be so bound, from what source is it, at a week's notice, to produce the bullion ? Be assured, Sir, that if this monstrous, delirious dream of a oonfused intellect be suffered to pass into law, the very existence of the State is jeopardised — half the merchants and traders of the empire may be ruined in ten days Always yours, COMMON SENSE. -------- TIIII HIGHLAND MOORS AND RIVERS.--The Highland moors will, in all probability, be occupied during the ensuing shooting season by more than the usual average number of sporting gentlemen from the south.
