The weekly meeting of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry was held last night at the offices. The subject of discussion for the evening was "Bank restriction;" the introduction of the Bank Charter resolutions of Sir Robert Peel imparted additional interest to the discussion, the question being so closely connected with the subject-matter of the Premier's speech, which was frequently referred to. Mr. Spottiswoode was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN commenced the business of the evening, by giving a definition of the term restriction, which he said had not been properly understood, and having given a review of it, both historical and commercial, proceeded to the ques tion of sank restriction, :which he said had become a much , wider question than when he addressed them last week. It was now proposed that every bank of issue should be restricted, in short every effort was to be made to diminish the currency of the country, and to extend the bad system established by the Act of 1819. From 1797 to that time the country was prosperous ; it not only fed itself, and enriched itself, but defended itself against the opinion of all the civilised world that was armed against it. A system which enabled them to do that was, he conceived, not one to be sneered at.— (Hear, hear.) They were not to be told that the adoption of that system was false and fraudulent, or was a " fatal mea sure," which was the phrase now applied to it. Gentlemen who used such words as these should look a little at the results of their own system before they applied them. Sir R. Peel boasted of being the author of the Currency Bill of 1819 ; he had always been a supporter of the Right Hon. Baronet, but had he been an enemy he should have wished him joy of the adoption of that measure. He could see no cause for congra tulation in it, but, on the contrary, most serious consequences had flowed from it. It was too serious a matter to mix up any kind of flippancy with. He should therefore drop that part of the subject, and merely state in a few words what the feelings of the Society were on the subject. The Society did not think that a system that had carried the country through the last war, during which it raised fortunes for many—among others that of Sir R. Peel himself—ought to be treated so flippantly, for on the other side, looking at the system that had been followed since, they did not see that it had done anything of the kind. Its effect had been de cidedly the reverse. 'When Sir Robert Peel boasted of the present system, and attempted to lay the fault of the panics among the banks on the system of his great predecessor, Mr. Pitt, they ought not to let the attempt pass quietly. They must all see that there was great danger impending over the country ; it was their interest that the truth should prevail, and they must not permit themselves to be diverted from the subject by any flippant jests. It appeared that there were now to be other bank restrictions; every bank in the country was to be pinched and cramped, till they should at last be all ab sorbed in one bank of issue. He would say nothing of the conceit that must possess any one man who thought he could control all the affairs of the country better than the mem bers of the community themselves. He would leave that to their judgment, but he was convinced, as a productive la bourer, as a man of business, that it was most repugnant to his notions, and he should not feel inclined to give way to any such principle. The Prime Minister declares that his object is to reduce prices—(Hear, hear) —to contract the cur rency, and to cripple the exertions of trade and commerce, which he is pleased to call speculation. These were his ob jects; but the objects of this Society were to increase prices, and by increasing profits, increase wages.—(Hear, hear.) In society there was a mixture of all classes, some productive and some unproductive. Their wealth had been created by the productive classes, but the unproductive classes had accumulated capital that they now could get no interest for, and there was a cry of there being too much money in the country. Let us contract our money. Cer tain great people had doubled their fortunes by the present system, and, having done so, instead of being able to get four per cent. for their money, they could barely get one-and-a half. They had come to th a t pass, and therefore found themselvesjust as bad off, comparatively, as the working man whose wages we re di m i n i s h e d , e xcept that the differ ence between them w as thi s, t h e one wa s starved, while with the other it was only a quest i on o f di m inished income. This led him to wonder h ow any man , who had turned his thoughts to the subject, did not see what every broker's clerk in the City could see, that a panic was approaching. Money was everywhere seeking for employment. There were more railroad Bills now before Parliament than in any former session. This was not that these speculations were sound ones ; in some of them there must be absolute loss, as there were as many as three lines to one place. It was a desperate struggle for the employment of capital. The next thing would be that money would be diverted into all kinds of trades and operations—gold would depart from the Bank— the much-desired object of a diminution of the currency would be obtained, and then would come the panic, and by as much as the wealth of the country had been increased, though it was not well distributed, by so much would that panic be greater and more awful than the last. That with all this before them they should not try to restrict their cur rency was astonishing. The Society, therefore, thought it to be its duty to spread information on this subject, to show the community its danger, and to call on it to resist the wrong courses which he was sorry to see were b e in g pursued by men in power, and endeavou r to direct the intelli g en ce of t h e country into a proper c hannel. Mr. TAYLOR next a ddressed the meetin g . He said the subject before them w as a somewhat dr y one, but t he y o ug ht to consider it not mere l y in an historical p oin t of view , but as it applied to the pr esent moment. It was a q u est i on o f choice between the system established in 1819, and that es tablished in 1797, and they had, as the two antagonists on those systems, Pitt and Peel, men who, on general questions, were of the same political principles, but ware opposed on this question. Among the men who admired Pitt, and fol lowed him during his life, there was a mixed party—some condemning and some approving his financial policy. But those who most admired him—who celebrated his birthday, and made the most of his memory —were, singular to say, those who departed the most from him in practice. That dif ference showed a split of a most extraordinary kind. They might go back to the period of 1797, and challenge Sir R. Peel to prove how the system then introduced could be called a " fatal measure." Sir Robert was himself of the opinion of Pitt till he sat on the Bullion Committee ; but since that time he had presumed to sneer at his master; but he would him. dr. Ta for then y s e a d ctions between the Bank have saved the country a vast deal of misery, if, instead of t of that day (1797), which ofwas England n sneeringdetailedgl anatdt obliged some nt h no i d m b , et n h ve e e r Gyl length o a pv c therl ee r nsi transactions tg in its dem an ds on the Bank;eaannt those demands the Bank, careful of the interest of the pro prietors, were compelled to refuse. The Bank Restriction Act was then passed, and the power the Bank acquired, so far from being abused, that its issues, after that Act was passed, were more limited than before. Why, then, should that be called a " fatal measure, which placed the people under greater restrictions than before? It certainly did not produce a superabundance of paper money. Before the war began the proportion of paper money to the tax ation of the country was about sixty per cent. After that event it was reduced at different times to 56, to 48, and latterly it was not more than 33 per cent. At the present moment the issue of the Bank of England is about 20,000,0001., and the taxation of the country is 50,000,000/. ; that gives a proportion of about 40 per cent. — it had even gone as low as 30 per cent. All this proved that there had been no abandonment of duty on the part of the pronounced a sentence that of 1797, a "fatal measure." He thought a Minister ought any one, in calling the Act himself have to reverse. Lord Ashburton once said that the B to an b k e confuEtinogulsanhdol,vsonaes ptorojnuos L first gun fired in another European war would destroy our he might paper credit, and if there should be another war, and Peel should be Minister, he would be compelled to adopt the Bank restriction he had censured. That measure he contended was an expedient one at the time, and he would now ask whether it might not be called a just and humane mea • sure? From 1790 to 1797 they could not raise more than 20,0001. of taxes, but by the operation of that Act, the people were enabled to meet the taxes by charging the consumers with the amount of them over and above the natural price of the articles they produced. Even in. the first year afterwards the taxes were raised from twenty millions to thirty, yet the burdens were not complained of. The landed interest certainly had no reason to complain, for their estates were preserved to them by these exertions. He now came to a different state of things. This memorable measure was destroyed in 1819, but the anticipated effects of that destruction began to be felt much earlier. The Bul lion Committee made its report in 1810. The Bank of England foresaw that it would be compelled to restrict its issues, and, not knowing when the Act might terminate, became very rigid, contracted its circulation, and prices began to fall in 1812, 1813, and 1814. This caused so considerable a change that some people said on this account that it was not the return to cash payments which caused the mischief; but these changes were produced by the anticipation of the restrictive system. Prices continued to decline still more after it, and in the seven years after 1819 the agricultural interest began to feel it, and the farmers not getting more than 43a. 4d. a quarter for their corn, the landlords began to think that they had gone too far in destroying the paper currency of the country, which gave the farmer his prices and the landlord his rent. They therefore pursued a course which left all the rest of the com munity to suffer from the pressure, while it exempted the farmers. They passed the cone-laws, which were intended to secure the farmer 50 per cent. for his corn above the natu ral g old and silver price of it, on the ground that he could not, i n consequence of the amount of the taxation of this country, compete with the foreign corn grower. The manu facturer could not contend with low prices, and on this ground the attain% to interfere with tha hours of labour in factories wattresisted—it would compel the master to reduce wages, and thus place the labourer in as bad a situation as he was in before. He had no objection to a Restriction Act, compelling the Bank to take up its notes with gold; but then it should be with gold at the market price. He concluded by stating, that the Act of 1797 was an expedient measure and a hu mane one. The country could not flourish if it disregarded the common principle of doing unto others as we would be done unto, especially to those who were not adequately re presented ,in Parliament when the change was made that so much affected them. When the poor man was forced to pay the taxes he had no share in imposing, but which the mea sure of 1819 threw upon him; it became a serious question whether that principle should not be carried out which would give him a larger share in the representation. Mr. SPARKHALL put several questions to Mr. Taylor as to the issues of the Bank, particularly as to whether he would not wish the Bank to restrict its issues at any time or under any circumstances ? Mr. TAYLOR said the Bank issued its notes for Exchequer bills, on which the Government paid discount. With that paper money the Government paid the interest of the na tional debt, and also defrayed the charges of the current year, and these sums amounted to about 50,000,000/. The deposits in the Bank were employed in the business of discounting private bills, but this formed but a small part of the business of the Bank. _ _ _ Mr. SPARK-HALL thought that by an exclusion of foreign manufactures, keeping up a fixed price for corn, and giving employment to the labourers, by cultivating the 15 millions of waste land at present idle, the people would be enabled to pay the taxes without any alteration in the currency. Mr. RICKARDS said that some instrument of exchange besides gold was necessary ; the nations that had confined themselves to gold had remained in statu quo, and not made such progress as others that had adopted some other repre sentative of value. All the gold in this kingdom would not be enough of itself to pay one fortnight's wages of labour. All we possessed was barely sufficient to represent the labour of the country withoilt its taxation. Mr. J4IIOLLAND, on the contrary, contended that France raised within a million of as heavy an amount of taxation as this country, and it only had six banks of issue, three in Paris, and three in the provinces. Napoleon carried on his wars without a paper currency. He thought it immaterial what quantity of gold was in the country provided it was left free to find its relative value, and provided that a small quantity of it answered the purpose of a great deal. Mr. CAPPS said at that rate the condition of the labourer ought to improve as prices rose, but was that the fact ? Mr. O'BRIEN having stated what he considered to be the objects of the Society, said he had no objection to the cur rency being depreciated, provided it was not done ad libitum,- or indefinitely. He was for a depreciation to a certain ex tent ; the question was to what extent. Tie thought the Act of 1819 had operated with great injustice to the debtors of the country, by compelling them to pay in one currency debts contracted in another of less value. The bulk of the national debt was contracted between 1793 and 1815 ; by the opera tion of the Act the people were compelled to pay the public creditor 33 or 34 bushels of wheat for every 15 bushels the Government borrowed. This was most unjust, and this he contended against. He illustrated his argument with great clearness and ability. The CHAIRMAN said the objects of the Society were much in accordance with the views just expressed ; but they did not want a depreciated currency ; that they had already. They did not want a depreciated currency, they only wanted the honest use of it.—(Hear, hear.) If the Government added fifty millions of taxations to the natural cost of pro duction, their currency must be depreciated. They might have Acts of 1819, and resolutions of 1844, but it remained the same. The reason of the panic that took place among the banks was, that the law compelled them to pay double the amount that they had promised to do. Mr. RicuAnbsoN said there was another element which acted on the currency that must be taken into their consi deration—the exchanges, and instanced the operations of the " clearing-house," by which large sums were transferred without any money at all. M. T. Arrwoob then addressed the meeting at great length. H said ho had had the misery the night before of hearing the speech of Sir R. Peel ; he had read that speech since, and he came there to say that he altogether despaired of any good being done for the nation; the doom of the country was sealed. Hearing the cheers that greeted that speech from all parties, though it abounded with such wrong headed sentiments, he thought it was no use striving any more. He altogether despaired now of any good being done. As Lord Spencer once told him, " To the devil we must all go." Nothing could rescue this blasted, blighted, and doomed nation from the fate that was approaching it. There were groans in their ears, but they heard them not—ruin was before them, but they saw it not—and would not see it till it broke upon them. He looked upon the country as a whitened sepulchre, all loneliness without, and all rottenness within. He gave it up. He had tried to save it for thirty years, but now he might as well attempt to swallow the Thames.—(Laughter.) If the Chairman was a great Duke, and the gentlemen present all Barons, thea something might be done—then there might be some chance. But the coun try was in such an unhappy state of morals, that he be lieved what was once said by Lord Western was correct, " Bad as the Ministry are, the people are a d—d deal worse."—(Great laughter.) With respect to the question before them, he denied that he wanted an irresponsible cur rency, but he deprecated laying down any fixed plan, before they had got rid of the great evil—the Bill of 1819. They had got into a mess, and must do their best to get out of it, as they used to do when he was in the volunteers. When they were in all sorts of confusion and botheration, the adju tant could only get them out of it by calling out, " As you were." So he said with respect to this subject. Let them crush the Bill of 1819, and get as they were before. He did not mean that the Bank Restriction Act was a perfect mea sure, but it was good pro tanto ; the country flourished under it, and they should endeavour to get back to a similar condition. The CHAIRMAN then announced that the subject of next week's discussion would be the " Bank Charter Resolutions, and Sir R. Peel," and the meeting separated. HER MAJESTY'S INT ENDED MA RINE VILLA. The general impression now is that Norris Castle, East Cowes, will again become the Royal residence, as Osborne House would not accommodate one-half of the Royal suite ; and, therefore, the idea of making it a permanent residence for the Queen is all but abandoned. Norris Castle, the seat of Robert Bell, Esq., is Windsor Castle in miniature. Its erection cost 180,000/., and its furniture upwards of 70,0001. The Castle stands on the middle of a beautifully intersected woodland, commanding an uninterrupted view of the sea, which breaks its waves against the surrounding walls. Its approaches and site are most picturesque. Sir E. Engle field thus describes the position of Norris Castle :—" Seated on the steep descent of the coast to the Solent sea, it com mands a view of that strait superior in beauty to any other point in the island. To the cast Portsmouth crowded with shipping is in full view, and the richest line of the woody coast of the island, from Barton to Nettlestone, appears in long and varied perspective. To the north the Southampton river is seen in its whole extent, and the town of Southamp ton, with its spires and tower, though at more than ten miles distance, is no inconsiderable object. The woods of khseirtw)a arionueathh resider he 3acaje.esty well adap t e d the New Forest clothe the view to the west, while Calshot Castle, on its point of long bank of shingle, stands boldly out amidst the waves, and marks the separation between the Solent sea and the Southampton river. The house is of a very general form, and its clustering towers, in every point of view, particularly when seen from the sea, are striking and commanding , and a most splendid addition to the scenery of the coast. The choice both of the site and form of the mansion reflects the highest honour on the taste of the noble owner." It was originally built by Lord Henry Seymour, from the designs of Mr. Wyatt, after the ancient Norman style, and is so extensive that seventy beds can be fitted up in it, while the out-offices and servants' apartments cover nearly two acres. The grounds and woods are most beauti fully laid out and intersected, and upon every side the most enchanting views of the sea and the surrounding scenery pre sent themselves. But the great advantage which Norris Castle presents is, that at all times the Royal yacht can anchor under its windows. When George the Fourth pro ceeded on a marine excursion, in 1819, he visited Norris Castle, and was on that occasion most magnificently enter tained by Lord Henry Seymour; and in 1831 Norris . Castle ) was the residence of the queen (then Princess Victtoriaisite:l her Royal mother. When her Majesty subsetqtnuen 1 her attend the Castle last year she -repeatedly pointedroi_ ants the a an pa d rt p m rn e i n n t e s n a a n d d ed w i a r ! who o prietor for IL Saunders, Esq., and the other gen tle l have expressed inspecting the ast e, by Royal command, .f a o r r e m n e o r w l y , themselves much pleased with for Royalty, and are new but none • h 'l Er been mentioned as the purchase money, , with Tke amount asked, however,varies between 60,000/. tainty. w ith m th e e n and 80,000/. It is also recommended that Osborne house, w hi c h is adjoining Norris Castle, but which, as has been treaty its purchase and that of the furniture. Various sums hay already stated, and is on all hands admitted to be wholly un fitted for a Royal mansion, should be also purchased, and added to Norris Castle. Although the purchase for Norris Castle appears cons iderable, y et Mr. Sa unders , Mr. Anson , and the other inspectors , give it as their opinion that ulti mately it would be much cheaper to purchase Norris Castle, or any other mansion fully suited for the reception of the Royal Family than to take a smaller building, the enlarge- ment and beautifying of which would require time, and a large . gutlay of money, before the Royal Family could reside in it; ' PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

MAJORITY-NOES, 197. LORD ELLENBOROUGH. The following report of a speech made by his Lordship at a ball and supper given to him at Calcutta is published in the Calcutta Star. It is certainly a strange production if the report is correct : " Sir (said his Lordship, addressing the President), I thank you for the honour you have done to me in proposing my health, and I thank all those who are present for the cordial manner in which they have responded to your call. It is true what the Honourable Chairman has said, I had power and influence in England—there was no measure connected with India in which I did not possess the greatest influence-- most people come to this country to make their fortunes—but I came here to do my duty, and because I deemed that in India I could be of most service to the coun try. I have met with opposition. but I have put down all opposition that may arise. I have done my duty. I have never abused patronage. lam ready to sacrifice fortune, my life if necessary.—(Vehement cheeenng for several minutes.) I do not eare for any man living. Whoever best serves the State is my friend.—(Cheers.) So ciety, here is in a strange state. There are peculiarities about it. No man here is idle, and no man is a politician. When the cares of the day are over, we are a social set.—(Cheers.) We have met to-day to be agreeable, and therefore I banish politics. But I say att ain I have done my duty. — (G reat cheering, and cries of " bravo, ""go it Hitherto my mea sures have all been triumphant and successful.—(Cheers.) I take no credit for that. How far they may continue suc cessful Heaven only knows; at all events it will not be my fault. I deserve success—that's a fact.—(Cheers.) I have sought out merit in the army, and rewarded it.--(Loud cheers.) I intend to do so in future. I am come amongst you like an English gentleman among his tenants. If you I receive me politely, well and good ; if not, it is your fault, not mine.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I drink to you all."— (Tosses off a bumper of Burgundy, amidst rapturous ap plause.) Lord Ellenborough (continues the Star) is described to us to have been in a state of considerable excitement while speaking, which is the only way to account for the exaggerated tone of his reply. We have heard of more than one lady who was rather alarmed at the exhibition, and no wonder, when a friend of remarkable nerve and self possession could find, in describing to us his manner, no other parallel than that of Coriolanus addressing the plebeians. The idea of physical force is rife throughout the brief address ; no mention is made of the ladies who were present, although so materially aiding in the effect of the compliment paid to the speaker, and certainly the best part of that society assem bled to do him honour ; nothing prevails in the speech but a reduplication of eternal I's, and no rhetorical figure is employed beyond the characteristic metaphor of the voie de faite. u I will break down opposition—/ have beaten down opposition." Why the need of so much fire ? What is the dreaded " oppo sition "of which so much is said? Who is there here to oppose ?Is it his Council tbat he points at? or—we are fairly at a loss for a query. DESPERATE ATTACK BY THE POLICE OW GAM BUNG-Housrs.—This morning, shortly before one o'clock, a very determined attack wasinade by the police upon a . num tea ber of gambling-houses at the . west end of the town, situ an in Bury:street, Albemarle : ltreet , S t.

On Sat4day, at two o'clock, the King and Queen of the -accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, the Duke de -Neinours, the Prince de Joinville, and the Duke de Mont pensier, arrived at the grand exhibition in the Champs Ely sees, amidst the loud and loyal acclamations of the people collected in crowds outside. On alighting, his Majesty was received at the peristyle by the Minister of Commerce and his Secretary-General, M. Paganel, General Tiburce Sebas tiani, Commandant of the First Military Division, General Aupick, Commandant of Paris, the'P.refeet pf Qin Aeine,4he Prefect of Police, the Members of the Central Jury; and the Mayor of the first arrondissement. On entering, their Ma jesties were again greeted' by all present with shouts of " Vive le Rol ! Vive la Reine !" His Majesty was evidently in perfect health, and, by his condescending and cheerful demeanour, rejoiced all who could approach near enough to observe him. The King, on the occasion of his fete, was pleased to re mit the remainder of the punishment of several of the pri soners in the liaison de Beaulieu. A funeral service, in commemoration of the death of Na poleon, was performed yesterday at the Church of the Invalides. Amongst the congregation were the Governor of the Invalides and his Staff, Baron Gourgaud, the aide-de camp and companion of the Emperor in his exile, the Duke de Padoue, Lieut.-General Baron Pelet, Baron de Meyneval, and MM. Lelorgne and d'ldeville, the Emperor's secretaries, and Baron Dumoulin and Count de Cramayel, his orderly officers. The funeral service in the churches of Paris gene- rally, which v did not take Place on Sunday, was to be p'r• formed on Monday. The bakers of Coblentz have lately been prosecuted for combining to keep up the price of bread, and, being con victed, have been condemned to two months' imprisonment, and a fine of I,ooof. each. The Montpellier and Nismes railroad is finished, and was tried on the 30th ult. by a train in which were drawn the Di rectors of the Company, their engineers, and the Government engineers of the department of the Herault and the Gard, and also the Directors of the Cette and Beaucaire railroad. The passage from Nismes to the gates of Montpellier was per formed within an hour and a half, but the train could not go on to the junction with the last-mentioned road, on ac-onnt of the works of the citadel, which are still in progress. The extensive tannery of M. Herrenschmidt, at Wacken, near Strasburgh, was burnt down on the night of the 30th ult., as was also the dwelling-house. The flames spread so rapidly that it was necessary to rescue from their beds N. Herrenschmidt's children. The loss in buildings is estimated at 300,000 f., and in goods at 100,000 f. No one was killed, but some persons were wounded. In the night of the 26th ult., says the Journal de la liZzyenee, a destructive fire broke out at Preyon Pail, the full details of whi,t, the journal was not in possession of, but had learned that at least 60 houses and buildings were burnt down. A destructive fire took place a few days ago at Lihons, near Peronne, by which 51 houses, with their outbuildings, were destroyed, causing a loss of about 80,000 f. The disaster is attributed to the imprudence of a woman in throwing a quantity of ashes, not quite extinguished, on to a heap of old straw in the yard, which the wind blew into a flame. A fire occurred, a few days ago, at Raon-sur-Plaine, in the Vosges, which burnt with such rapidity that in ten minutes, it is said, 14 dwellings were destroyed, and 40 persons left without a shelter. One poor woman was burnt to death. LAW AND POLICE. At the Central Criminal Court eight prisoners on the list for trial pleaded guilty, and of the number was Thos. Lucas, who was indicted for stealing a valuable tea-urn, the property of Messrs. W. Worster and Co. The prisoner having been previously convicted of felony in this Court, was sentenced to seven years' transpoTtation. The rest were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. _ _ Benjamin Hill was charged with picking pocket,. Hill having indulged in flippancy, he was silenced by an officer, who from a book read no less than nine convictions which had come under his own knowledge since 1839. The Com mon Sergeant told the prisoner that his career was at an end ; he was by far too clever to remain any longer in this country, The sentence, he having been found guilty, was, t4iat he Le transported beyond the seas for ten years. William Smith was indicted for stealing 106 yards of silk and 101 yards of satin, value 39L 10s., the property of Griffith Foulkes, and the jury, without much hesitation, found hint guilty. The Common Sergeant told the convict that he had, managed his part of the transaction with great art and cun ning, and he had called no one to give any account of his previous character. The sentence was, that he be transported beyond the seas for seven years. At Marlborough-street, George Williamson, a well-known thief, was charged with having robbed Mary Esslat, the wife of a labouring man, living at No. 25, Upper Uxbridge-street, Notting-hill. It appeared, while she was passing along Regent-street, about 10 o'clock the previous evening, having in her hand a purse, containing 4s. 6d., and a pocket hand kerchief, with a sovereign tied in the corner, the prisoner put his hand over her shoulder, and snatched both purse and handkerchief away. The police constable told Mr. Maltby that the poor woman maintained herself and a bed-ridden husband by washing, and the loss of the sovereign would be seriously felt by them. The prisoner was fully committed, Mr. Maltby, taking into consideration the severity with which the loss of the sovereign would press on the poor woman, directed that the amount should,be paid to her out of the poor-box fund. • 001711T—YASH107071LIBLE. - - The Earl of Devon arrived at the British and Foreign Hotel from Ireland, on Monday evening, for the season.
