GLADSTONE AND THE CUR- RENCY QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—My attention has been called to a letter which appeared in the Times paper of the 22d ult., from Mr. Gladstone, on the Currency Question, and, as you did me the honour of giving publicity to seve ral of my communications on the same subject in October and November last, I hope you will allow me, through the, same medium, to make a few com ments upon Mr. Gladstone's letter. Mr. Gladstone asserts " that the existing law which regulates the currency, restricting the paper circula tion to notes of the value of 51. and upwards, making those of the Bank of England convertible into cash at the will of the holders, and those of all other bank ing establishments convertible either into cash or the notes of the Bank of England, is the most safe and convenient system that has yet been acted upon." Yet he soon after tells us that this safe and conve nient system has been " attended with considerable difficulty in the transactions of commercial men, threatening convulsion and• the destruction of mer cantile confidence." Admitting the truth of the latter clause, the system alluded to in the former cannot well he deemed safe, whatever may have been its conveniency. Mr. Glad stone thinks so himself, and to obviate the danger he suggests that a new national bank shall be established to supersede . the Bank of England in some of its most important functions.

ONE SHILLING Admission to THE NAPOLEON MUSEUM, the most magnificent and cxtentive Collection of Histo rical Curiosities and Works of Art ever known to hove been formed by One Person, during Twenty-five years of elaborate research, at a cost of 60,000 guineas, and to completely illustrate, in the most In structive and interesting manner, the most Important part of Euro pean history, viz.—CHARLES 1., OLIVER CROMWELL, and LOUIS XIV., to the deaths of GEORGE 111., and the EMPEROR NAPOLEON, in 1821. This unique Museum has been visited often, during the last and present year, by the Royal Family, the Duke of Wellington, the Foreign Princes, Ambassadors, and their Ladies, also many thousands of the Nobility and Public ; and the Pro prietor has recently been able to increase, by several very fine pictures, Ice., his previous almost incredible number and ♦ariety of MSS., Works of Art, and a multitude of valuable Relics, and other curiosities, in this most instructive and, as hundreds have said it Aught to be, a National Museum. Many thousand have inspected it, and THIRTY PRINCIPAL EDITORS of the PUBLIC PRESS have stated that it ought to be seen by every one. The price of admis sion is reduced to ONE SHILLING. _ . _ .eate is to have no capiloal, but to trade on the na ,ional guarantee of Parliament. It is to issue its notes, half in the purchase of bullion, and the other half in the purchase of Exchequer bills and other securities. These notes are all to be payable in cash at the will of the holders. The bank is to be go verned by Commissioners appointed by the Crown, few in number, who no doubt are to have clerks under them resembling, I suppose, those of the Exchequer Bill-office. The Commissoners themselves are probably to have large salaries with small responsibities, whilst their manag ing clerks are most likely to be entrusted with large responsibilities and small salaries, as in the cele brated case of Mr. Beaumont Smith. Admitting all this to be unobjectionable, which very few will admit, it is not easy to discover how such a national bank could avert the difficulties which Mr. Gladstone ad mits have threatened the destruction of mercantile confidence under our present system. For instance, if Mr. Gladstone's national bank issues ten millions of its notes, and employs them in the way which he suggests, she can then have only five millions of specie where with to redeem her ten millions of notes, although pledged to redeem the whole in specie. To meet this difficulty Mr. Gladstone suggests, that whenever his national bank is called upon by the public to redeem one million of her notes, that she shall immediately convert another million of her Exchequer bills, &c. into specie. But this differs not in principle from the plan which the Bank of England has attempted to act upon, and, by so doing, has always produced those convulsions which Mr. Gladstone wants to avoid. There is, however, another difficulty to be surmounted. Mr. Gladstone does not tell us how the National Bank is to dispose of the second million of Exchequer bills for specie at those times when it is more profitable to export gold than any other article of merchandise, and when bullion dealers are ready to give a premium above the Mint price for it. How is the National Bank to keep up . her stock of bullion under such circumstances ? Is she to give Mr. Rothschild a premium of 100,0001. to furnish her with gold for the support of the national credit, as the Bank of England did in 1825 ? Alas ! the National Bank is to have no capital of her own from which she can pay it ; and the " guarantee of Par liament," under such circumstances, would only he a " Bank Restriction Act" with a new name attached to it, which the editor of the Times would denounce as a piece of " rascality," and which, of course, neither he nor Mr. Gladstone can contemplate. The success of the plan in such cases, it seems, is to be left en tirely to the stringent application of "the screw," as it is technically called, which, by stopping our domestic circulation, strangles our trade both at home and abroad, and produces those convulsions, which it is the professed object 'of Mr. Gladstone's plan to avoid. It does not appear, therefore, that Mr. Gladstone's national bank promises any advantages which we do not at present possess under the Bank of England. Linder both systems, British credit is still to be sub jected to the arbitrary influence of the screw, the chief difference being that Mr. Gladstone would vest the power of turning it, in a few Commissioners ap pointed by the Crown and paid by the public ; wherjas the existing system gives that power to twenty-six Bank Directors, who are entrusted with the care of many millions of property and are elected by the proprietors, whose capital is pledged to make good any direct loss which may be sustained through mismanagement ; whilst the public have some little security against indirect losses being created through the capricious or arbitrary application of the screw, in the fact, that those Directors themselves, as mer chants and bankers, are many of them liable to par ticipate largely in the ruinous effects of that crip pling piece of machinery to which Peel's Bill has given existence, and which in its application has already ruined some of the earliest and warmest advocates of his system of cash payments, to which it is a necessary adjunct. If, therefore, British indus try and commerce be still to remain under the cor rective influence of the " screw," it seems to me far better that " we bear the ills we have" than fly to those which Mr. Gladstone would provide for us. It is not, however, necessary that we should continue to " bear the ills we have." This is made evident in the memorial which the Court of Bank Di rectors presented to the Government in 1819 when Peel's Bill was in progress. You, Sir, have done the public great service by republishing that memorial in The Sun of the 22d instant. The diffi culties which Mr. Gladstone now deplores in our monetary system, and for which he seeks a remedy, are precisely those which the late Mr. Jeremiah Harman and his experienced colleagues, who drew up that memorial, then foresaw, as the natural result of that unfortunate measure. The market-price system of cash payments, suggested in that memorial, as the alternative for our present system, requires only to be understood to be approved. Mr. Gladstone tells us that the Bank ought at all times to possess a stock of bullion bearing a relative proportion to their paper circulation. This, we have seen, is much easier said than, accomplished. As a practical suggestion, he might just as well tell us that to guard against the effect of a partial failure of our corn crops, the Go vernment ought always to hold in store a reserve stock of corn, bearing a certain relative proportion to the annual consumption. Experience has shown that one suggestion is about as practicable as the other. With far more reason, the advocates for free trade tell us that the most effectual way to avoid a scarcity of corn is to leave the trade therein and its price as free from artificial restraint as possible. And so, Mr. Harman and his fellow Directors of the Bank of England argued in 1819 with regard to gold. They deemed that the most effectual way to secure a uni form supply of gold was to let the traffic and the price of it be also free from arbitrary control. Their argument is so simple and unanswerable that it might have been thought no practical merchant could have rejected it, much less, that it should have been rejected upon the strength of a mere assertion. Yet Mr. Gladstone so rejects it, asserting that the market-price system of cash payments, with an issue of small notes, would only act as palliatives, producing both delay and in convenience, without striking at the root of the evil. From Mr. Gladstone speaking thus of the market price system of cash payments, I think it is clear that he quite misunderstands the _nature of that imperfection in our monetary circulation, for which he has undertaken to prescribe a remedy. Were it not so, he would have perceived that such a practical palliative afforded the most effectual mode of attain ing a radical cure for the disease. In a short supply of corn, any palliative by which the people may be supported until the succeeding harvest arrives, is not merely a conveniency but a remedy . " It spstains the horse till the grass grows,"—so, in the case of a sudden withdrawal of specie from a nation like ours, which, in the natural course of commerce, can always command a full average supply of the precious me tals, any plan capable of effectually palliating the evil until the current of trade can resume its accustomed course, is the best remedy the case admits of. Such a palliative the market price system of cash payments would have been, had it been adopted in 1819. Un der it the Directors of the Bank would have been protected from the unreasonable obligation of selling gold at 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce at those times when, from some temporary obstruction, they might be compelled immediately to repurchase it at a much higher price. In the absence of the natural pallia tive which the market price system would have af forded, the Bank Directors have been compelled to resort to such palliatives as have been costly to the Bank and injurious to the public. In the panic of 1825, Mr. Rothschild supplied a palliative which cost T HE SOUTH LONDON FILTERED WATER COMPANY. Capital 200,0001., in 20,000 shares of 101. each. Deposit 11. per share.

That a palliative alone at that time was required, is evident, because in two or three months after the panic, gold flowed into the coffers of the Bank most plentifully. In the American crisis of 1836-7, the Bank of England resorted to the " screw" as a palliative ; and although it proved at that time a safeguard to the Bank, British merchants and joint stock bankers were punished most severely, and many parties to this day are still writhing under the sufferings then inflicted. In the scarcity of gold caused by the foreign corn trade in 1839, the Bank of England was compelled to seek a costly and degrading palliative from the Bank of France, and thus was our national bank, as well as many of our first-rate merchants, brought under the operation of that foreign "screw," and made to pay exorbitant rates of interest for tem porary accommodation, until a very large amount of British property was again sacrificed to that " golden monster," whose power to destroy the value of British industry had been kept in check under the Restric tion Act for 22 years, but which Sir Robert Peel re vived by his Bill of 1819, contrary to the judicious counsels of his own father; yet, the abundant supply of gold which we now possess proves that a judicious palliative was all that was wanting to have averted the host of evils inflicted upon this. nation by this last pressure. *Unfortunately, our' present excess of gold furnishes no lasting security against a repetition of the like destructive operations, so long as our flume tary obligations are-subject to the 'arbitrary control of Peel's Bill. It was not Laore.than eighteen months before the distressing panic of 1825, that the Bank had an abundant stock of gold. The Government was enabled to reduce the interest on the Four per Cent. Consols to Three-and-a-Half per Cent., and the Chancellor of the Exchequer boasted of the very pros perous condition of the revenue. What security have we now that a similar result may not speedily await us ? Neither small local notes, bank notes, nor gold sovereigns are necessary in the first instance to inflate speculation. This can be done with bills of exchange, and the same bale of cotton, without leaving the broker's hands, may be made the basis of several bills of exchange, each representating the full value of the cotton. These bills can fulfil the functions of money until one article after another may be enhanced 20 or 30 per cent. in money value, and then, when the re gular manufacture rs , merc h ants , and traders have got well stocked with every thing, but gold, the drain for that article takes place ; then comes the operation of the " screw," and, finally, a national panic. Thus the steady and industrious classes are ruined ; and thus a few gambling speculators, who have reaped all the profit, are made rich—boast of the soundness of the " Peel's Bill system," and denounce all, however wealthy they may be, who advocate a system of steady credit, upon which the greatness 'of this nation is founded, as a set of needy adventurers who want to trade without capital. I am reluctant to extend this letter further, but I must not omit all notice of the injurious effect pro duced on British agriculture and commerce when Peel's Bill first came into operation, and when the Bank of England, to carry out the provisions of the new law, suffered the " sc r ew " t o come i n t o ac ti on rather than enforced it. I believe the Bank Directors a Ina time used the influence of this repressing in strument as gently as possible, yet so great was the distress produced, especially upon the agricultural in terest, and in the midst, too, of abundant harvests, that Lord Liverpool, in his reluctance to admit that " Peel's Bill" was the cause of the distress, accounted fur it in the over-production which the bounty of Divine Providence was then pouring forth upon Great Britain and the nations of the Continent. In 1822, when the pressure could no longer be borne Lord Castlereagh and Mr. lluslcisson introduced their ce lebrated Small Note Bill, which proved an immediate palliative, but a most delusive one, as every such measure for the relief of the pressure on industry must prove, so long as Peel's Bill is allowed to re main in existence. I have seen with regret that some gentlemen in the influential position of Bank Directors have lately pro posed schemes calculated to be equally delusive with Mr. Gladstone's, or the one last mentioned, or with the joint-stock bank scheme which, in 1826, was pro-. mulged- under the patronage of Lords Liverpool and Goderich, and which, like the Small Note Bill of 1822, performed great wonders for a short time in the years 1833-34, and 35, but which has ended in the ruin of an immense multitude of unfortunate share holders. The scheme which the above gentlemen would urge upon Sir Robert Peel now, is the " One Bank of Issue Plan," as it is called, and which is brought forward under various shapes. These gen tlemen speak of obtaining a single bank of issue, as if there were now any bank besides the Bank of Eng land, which had the power of issuing legal tender paper. Perhaps they would wish to deprive the people of their natural right to give or receive the credit of each other, according to the dictates 'of their own discretion. If they do intend this, and should unhappily succeed in misleading the Legislature to adopt their views—and nothing can be too absurd for some statesmen to adopt if it affords a chance of preserving Peel's Bill—then, great as our commercial and agricultural difficulties have already been, we must prepare ourselves to expect a struggle for the continued existence of our national credit far more severe than any we have yet experienced. Admitting, therefore, with Mr. Gladstone, that, under our present monetary system the transactions of commercial men are exposed to considerable diffi culty, threatening convulsion, and the destruction of mercantile confidence, it is, I think, very apparent that a national bank on the plan pooposed by him is open to very substantial objections, and if acted upon, would still leave British industry exposed to the con • vulsive pressure of Peel's " screw." I think it also equally apparent that all " palliatives" must fail of giving any permanent relief, so long as that " screw" is empowered to depress the value of all labour, and its produce, to a fixed gold standard ; and that the only effectual way by which British industry can be emancipated, is to remove completely the money law of 1819, and to supply its place with a system of cash payments to be regulated by the market price of the precious metals, agreeably to the suggestions of the Court of Bank Directors in 1819. You, Sir, have justly observed that a market price system of cash payment was virtually acted upon during the last French war, and so judiciously acted upon by the late Mr. Harman and his brother Directors, as amply to supply the pecuniary means of conducting that fearful contest to an honourable and successful issue. A system capable of such great national benefit in times of such unexampled difficulties as those were, is assuredly entitled to the serious recon sideration of Parliament. I had written a considerable portion of this letter before I saw your important remarks upon Mr. Glad stone's letter, and I am much gratified to find that you view Mr. Gladstone's suggestions in the same light as myself.—l beg to remain, Sir, your's very respectfully, lOTA.

Shareholders in South London to have the option of receiving their share of the profits in cash, or in purified water, charged to them at probably 50 per cent. less than they now pay for impure water ; the public at large to be charged about two-thirds of the present prices. As it is proposed to take the water from the purest part of the Thames near London, neither expensive purchases nor determined opposition can arise from the rights or claims of the mill-owners. Arrangements will be made to secure the exclusive possession of a system for filtering large bodies of water, which is the most econo mical as to space, Time, and money ever known ; and which, being patented, renders rivalry for 13 years impossible. The water sup plied will be that which the water of the three existing Companies ought to be, in compliance with the clauses of their respective Acts of Parliament, viz. effectually purified by means of filtration. The profits to the general Shareholders of this Company will be at least 10 ,per cent., on the most moderate calculations. This advertisement appears apparently prematurely, for two rea sons—first, to satisfy the impatient desire universally expressed throughout the populous districts south of the Thames, that a Self- Supplying Water Company should be formed ; and, secondly, that the Direction should not be filled up until the largest of the intended Shareholders should be ascertained, so that the interests of the Com pany might be protected by those who had the greatest stake in it. The names of the Directors, Engineers, Bankers, and Solicitors will be advertised as soon as the list is filled up. In the meantime, applications for Shares, or further information, may be made to Al fred Flower, Secretary pro tehi., at the temporary offices of the Com pany, 27, Stamford-street, Blackfriars.

THE WATER MONOPOLY.—The inhabitants of the Southern Districts of the Metropolis are bestirring them selves on this subject. Petitions have been presented to both Houses of Parliament from Lambeth, Bermondsey, Black friars-road, &c. In the House of Lords, the Marquis of Nor manby has given a conditional notice for a Committee of Inquiry; and in the House of Commons, Mr. Ewart, a night or two since, gave an unconditional notice for a Committee. Meanwhile, acting upon the French proverb "aide toi, et le ciel t'aidera," many of the inhabitants are forming themselves into a self-supplying " Filtered Water Company" which pro mises the alteration of 10 per cent. profit, or good water at 50 per cent. less than is now paid for bad. We shall see how far these promises are likely to be redeemed. Professor Risley and his talented son, le - petit IMercure, arrived in town yesterday morning from the pro vinces.

L. - jciriEs for sealing bond for 6001. to the Bank of •guglaiid, -- in further part of the loan of 70,0001., a desultory_ conversation arose with relation to the conference between! The Government and a deputation from -The'Rolo lan change and Gresham Trusts Conimittee, upon' tile subject of adding to the spire at the eastern end of the new edifice. • Mr. HARRISON asked whether' it was the purpose of the Committee to abandon the idea-of widening the space, or to act upon the views of Alderman Humphery and others, in making further attempts to interfere with the pr , Operty in that vicinity? To the latter project Mr. Harrison' had candidly admitted, from the .commencement of the recent proceedings respecting the approaches to the building, that he was opposed from interested motives, . but these meti. were certainly combined with the persuasion' that the public would not be benefited by extending the eastern area of the Royal Exchange. He took occa sion, also, to state th;it there had been some slight departure from the original lien of the building it self, for which he should wish to know the reaori. and he' suggested the propriety of endeavouriug to effect a great public convenience by opening a con.- munication between Cornhill and Broad-street. • Mr. H. L. JONES stated that the departure from the plan merely regarded the steps. and One of the columns of the building, and was caused by the de sire to increase the public oonvenience, and certainly added to the beauty of the structure. With rts;).-ct to the other question, it was known that negotiations were still going on upon that subject. • Mr. Sheriff MOON conderimed the interference with the property at the em stern end of the Royal Exchange, and said that the Committee had presumed to communicate with the Commissioners for Metrk,- politan Improvement without the sanction of the Cor poration. - Mr. R. L. JO N ES denied that the Committee ha-1 in any part of their proCeedings committed or can:•• promised the Corporation, - or that they had at all %.-x • ceeded the powers given to them by the Court. There was a misunderstanding between Mr. Sheriff Moon and Mr. R. L. Jones with regard to the part taken • by the latter in respect of the Conference ; hut it was. speedily removed by the interposition.of the Lord Mayor. . . • • Mr. LAWRENCE assigned, as a cause for the unim portant deviation from the original plan, that bef.re• the Act had passed for taking down the tbuildMgs the Exchange itself had been built above the pave nient. He defended the whole of the conduct of the Committee. Mr. PEWTILESS declared that the public feeling had been strongly expressed in favour of opening th eastern end of the building. The Committee sounded the Government upon the subject, and stated that the Corporation had no funds to appropriate to the accom plishment of an improvement so desirable. That was the whole extent of the course pursued by the depu • tation, and nothing could have been more fair and honourable. Mr. JONES declared that it was a higlA gratification to state that he had not heard a single complaint uttered against those who had conferred with the Go vernment, except by interested parties. The seal was then set to the bond. THE LONDON ALMSHOUSES. Mr. KING, in expressing a wish for the early pro duction of a report relative to the London Alrnsbous, s, took the - opportunity to state that these places of re fuge had been built at an expense of 4,0001., 1,500 of which had been contributed by the Coroporation of London. The finances of the institution were most deplorably low. In fact, the establishment must fail if the Court of Common Council did not take it under .control and support. Mr. BOWER (the Chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee) said that the only person w hi was opposed to such interposition as had been sug gested, was one of the trustees, a member of that Court. Nothing could be done for the advantage of the institution without the consent of that trustee, and he hoped that the gentleman might soon Le induced to give up an opposition calculated to du so much injury. Mr. KING trusted that for the honour of humanity a change might take place in the opinions and views of the trustee alluded to. RENEWAL OF THE COAL ACT. Mr. BOWER brought up the report recommending an application to Parliament for the renewal of the Coal Act. Mi. BURN wished to know whether it was the in tention to apply septennially for the renewal of the Act, or to endeavour to obtain a permanent Act. The public ought to know, after so long an experiment, whether the vend of coals by weight or by measure was the preferable mode. Mr. BOWER said it was the intention of the Com mittee to apply for a permanent measure, as the prc sent system was decidedly the more eligible. The report was agreed to. Mr. STEVENS brought up the report on the ex penses of public prosecutions at the Central Criminal Court. It stated that, since the subject was under consideration, arrangements had been effected to ac complish the object desired, by a reduction in the allowances heretofore made to counsel and witnesses, as far as the existing state of the law would admit, by which means it was confidently expected that the annual expenses of prosecutions at the Central Crimi nal Court would be much less than they had hitherto been. EXPENSES OF PASSING SCOTCH AND IRISH PAUPERS. _ . Mr. STEVENS brought up the report of the Cam mittee to consider the return laid before the Court, of the amount of orders on the Chamberlain for the re moval of Scotch and Irish paupers, paid in each quarter since the first establishment of the poor-law union. It represented that, since the month of Oc tober, the number of Scotch and Irish paupers were materially reduced, and a decrease of about 1201. per month had taken place in the expenses of passing them to their homes or parishes, which was mainly attri butable to the general revival of trade in the manu facturing districts, and to the improved regu lations adopted by the Court of Aldermen in appointing a weekly rota of magistrates to investi gate the several cases of pauperism previously to the making of orders for removal, and it was considered that the reduction in the expenses of passing vagrants was likely to be permanent.—(Hear, hear.) 21r. Stevens, in presenting the report, said it was the opinion of Mr. Gill, the City of London pass-master, whose duties necessarily engaged him -in a frequent intercourse with the poor of both countries, that the Scotch and Irish paupers exhibited the most sincere readiness to return to their work in the several dis tricts which distress had obliged them to abandon. The report was ordered to be printed. Mr. ASHURST brought up a report, recommending the increase of the salary of Mr. Bullock, the Corn missioner of the Central Criminal Court and the judge of the Sheriffs' Court.—Ordered to be printed. THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO LORD DUDLEY STUART. Mr. PEACOCK gave notice of a motion for the next Court-day, " That the eminent and unwearied ser vices of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, in the cause of public charity for the relief of disAressed foreigners, as well as that of the British people, entitled him to the marked approbation and esteem of the Court, and that the freedom of the City be presented to his Lord ship, to evince the sense which they entertain of such services, and the proud example which he displays of true English nobility." THE COAL-WHIPPRES ACT. On the' consideration of a petition from Lieutenant Arnold, for compensation for losses sustained by - t 3 petitioner in obtaining the recent Coal Whippers Act, Mr. HEPFEL asked whether the expectations of the friends of the measure were realised ? Mr. STACY replied that he had every reason to be. lieve that the measure would prove highly advan tageous. Nothing, he declared, could exceed the gra= titude of the poor men whom it was framed to serve. FARRINGDON MARKET. ~~. nt' lake& their agan, ius, mt. ;; I I ■ I
