SOCIETY FOR THE EMANCIPA TION OF INDUSTRY. BANK RESTRICTION. . The weekly meeting of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry was held on Monday 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 11ssinotbeenaaroperlysunderstood, and having given a review of it, both historical and commercial, proceeded to the ques tion of Bank restriction, Which he said had become a much wider ques:ion than when he addressed them last week. It was now proposed that every bank ofissue 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. Ile 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 themseTves. 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 that pass. and therefore found themselves just as bad off, comparatively, as the working man whose wages were diminished, except that the differ ence between them was this, the one was starved, while with the other it was only a question of diminished income. This led him to wonder how 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 being pursued by men in power, and endeavour to direct the intelligence of the country into a proper channel. Mr. TAYLOR next addressed the meeting. He said the subject before them was a somewhat dry one, but they ought to consider it not merely in an historical point of view, but as it applied to the present moment. It was a question of 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 were 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— w h o ce l e b ra t e d hi s 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 have saved the country a vast deal of misery, if, instead of sneering at him, he had imitated him. Mr. Taylor then detailed at some length the transactions between the Bank of England and the Government of that day (1797), which was obliged t o b e very press i ng i n it s d e mands on the Bank ; those de man d s the Bank, careful of the interest of the pro prietors, were compelled to refuse. The Bank Restriction Act was then passe far from bei ng a b used, that its issues, a f ter th a t A c t 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 Bank of England, so as to justify any one, in calling the Act of 1797, a "fatal measure." He thought a Minister ought to be cautious how he pronounced a sentence that he might himself have to reverse. Lord Ashburton once said that the first gun fired in another European war would destroy our 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 438. 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 corm-laws, which were intended to secure the farmer 50 per cent. for his corn above the natu ral gold and silver price of it, on the ground that lie could not, in 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 attempt to interfere with the hours of labour in factories was resisted—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 an d a hu mane one. The country , could not flourish if it disregarded the common principle of doing unto others as we would be were not adequately re presented change was made that so m do u n c e h u a n ff t e o c , tnee Parliamentdsp y 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 whichwould them.eeial lto o When those whenthe who give him a larger share in the representation. Mr. SPARKIIALL 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 dudei . any eircumStauce4 ? • 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 50,000,0031. 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. SPARKIIALL 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 stafu 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 without its taxation. Mr. J.'HoLLAND 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, ,renFybeingdepreeietett ptnvidedit ;Wei not done ad libitum,' or indefinitely. He was for a depreciation to a certain ex tent ; the question was to what extent. He thought the Act i of 1819 had operated with great injustice to the debtors of the country, by compelling them to pay "none 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 CIIAIRMAN 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. RICIIARDSON 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 " blearing-house," by which large sums were transferred without any money at all. M. T. ArrwooD then addressed the meeting at great length. Ii said he 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. lie 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, then 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 ii p t i kle Ministry are, the people are a d—d deal worse. reat laughter.) With respect to the question before t em, 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 old 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 CILURMAN 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 INTENDED 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 180,0001., 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 east 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 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 Seythour, 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 Loixl Henry Seymour ; and in 1831 Norris Castle was the residence of the Queen (then Princess Victoria) and her Royal mother. 'When her Majesty subsequently visited the Castle last year she repeatedly pointedout to her attend ants the apartments and walks which her Majesty formerly occupied and promenaded in her youth. H. Saunders, Esq., and the other gentlemen who are now, by Royal command, inspecting the Castle, have expressed themselves much pleased with it as a residence well adapted for Royalty, and are now in treaty with the proprietor for its purchase and that of the furniture. Various sums have been mentioned as the purchase money, but none with cer tainty. The amount asked, however,varieg between 60,0001. and 80,0001. It is also recommended that Osborne• House, which is adjoining Norris Castle, but which, as has been 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 considerable, yet Mr. Saunders, 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 outlay of money, before the Royal Family could reside in it. DESPERATE ATTACK DY THE POLICE ON GAM BLING-HOUSES.—Yesterday morning, shortly before one, a very determined attack was made by the police upon a num ber of gambling-houses at the west end of the town, situate in Bury-street, Albemarle-sqeet, James's-street, and other neighbourhoods. By - a premeditated arrangement, in pursuance of orders froth the Commissioneri of Police, but under what circumstances our informant wins notnot able to as certain, a body of policemen from several divisions of the. force were ordered to be in readiness between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, to be ready to proceed to a certain destination, and which was unknown to the men. The men, on leaving their respective stations, were supplied with sledge hammers, iron -bars, &c., for the purpose of obtaining an im mediate entrance. As the different divisions proceeded along the streets, much surprise was raised, and reports were spread that there was some conspiracy which had been discovered at the west end and that the police was about to be employed in the apprehension of the parties. Upon the several divisions reaching the respective houses that were to be entered, an attack was at once made upon the doors, when an admission was soon obtained. The police then promptly rushed up the stairs into the different rooms. In some of the houses the gambling was going on, when, upon the noise of the police entering being heard, a general attempt was made to escape. The police, however, succeeded in capturing several persons, and also getting possession of the rove et noir tables, the 100 tables, the cues, &c., when these, with the prisoners of the police, were taken to the station-house of the C division, in Vine-street, where they were safely lodged.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. • STANDARD.—The two Joe Humes of Parliament — Lord Normanby in the House of Lords, and the Josephus ipse in the House of Commons—last night raised two debates upon the now familiar subject of Lord Ellen borough's recal. The Earl of Ripon in the one House, and Sir Robert Peel in the other, resisted the produc • tion of the correspondence between the Board of Con trol and the Court of Directors, on the ground that ' a full investigation, in the absence of Lord Ellen borough, was impossible, and that a partial dis closure would be unjust to his Lordship, while any recurrence to the dispute, before the new Governor- General should be fixed in his high office, must render his government more difficult, nat merely by fettering his exercise of his own independent judgment, but by exciting ground less hopes in some, and groundless apprehensions in others. The noble "Joe Hume " did not make any for mal motion upon which a division could be taken, and the authentic Member for Montrose cos defeated by a majority of 197 to 21. The Whigs, * i s represented by Lord Campbell in the House of Lords Itti Mr. Macaulay in the House of Commons, maige the most , of the opportunity to worry th Government.„:. afforded to them by the act of the Direcr tors ; but, after all, with little chance of success, as we, suspect, in the opinion of the public. The Gcliernment,l it is not to be denied, are in a difficulty, but it is a diffi culty in the creation of which they are wholly blame less ; a difficulty, in fact, of that kind which few who have lived long in the world have escaped encounter ing at some one time or another, even in their indi vidual character—a difficulty analogous to that in which men are so often involved by the " indiscretion" or folly of those with whom they are connected by family ties, by friendship, or business. In such a per plexity it is often impossible to exculpate oneself with out ruining the delinquent that has involved him in it, and seriously injuring innocent parties. When this happens, the conscientious and prudent man submits in silence to suspicion and reproach. This is just the case of the Government at present; they wish to defend the Directors against the effect of the enormous " indiscretion" committed in the recal of Lord Ellenborough, and they wish to protect India from the fatal consequences of a display of dis union in the governing power to which that great empire is subjected, and they are therefore compelled to hold back the defence of their injured col league. Meanwhile the Directors are, without any such intention, giving to the public the materials of Lord Ellenborough's justification. The Morn ing Chronicle, evidently prompted from Leaden hall-street, says that the Directors were compelled to dismiss the Governor-General because they were not invested with any power to stop 'the supplies, and they found their Governor-General too expensive. This re duces the quarrel to an affair of pounds, shillings, and pence ; and it is extremely likely that the Parlia ment and the public will come to a conclusion re specting it very different from that at which the Directors have arrived. Under favour, we must think that commercial men are not the best qualified to judge of the means by which a great empire is to be defended, or very rich men the most disinterested upon a question of necessary taxation—we think it even more than probable that if it had been left to the identical twenty-three Directors who recalled Lord Ellenborough to decide upon our own property-tax, the revenue would not now exhibit the surplus that happily it does exhibit. It is only in natures of a high order indeed, that full pockets do not prove fatal to pro vidence and patriotism, if not to humanity—" crescit amor," &c., says the proverb. If the Directors and Lord Ellenborough disagreed upon the batta—an extraordi nary allowance to be made to the gallant troops engaged in foreign service—we will venture to say that the people of England will side with him whose views were the more liberal, more especially as the withholding the batta in question has' given occasion for mutinies, the suppression of which has cost, in money only, to say nothing of the sacrifice of affection, more than three or four times the batta saved. GLOBE.—The " principles" of Sir Robert Peel are something like the conscience of Baillie Macwheeble, which was described as " a , good-natured conscience, that never did him any harm.' It may be said, in like manner, of Sir Robert's " principles," that they never do him any harm ; for he avows that he stops short of them on system, to avoid collision with existing interests. It is also sometimes an agreeable disap pointment to the interests in question to discover that Sir Robert's bark is worse than his bite ; and accord ingly we find Bank Stock, and Joint -Stock Bank Shares, as well as the Funds, showing a tendency to rise— suspense being removed as to the weight with which Sir Robert's paternal ferule was to descend on the cul prits horsed on the subministrant back of Goulburn. We are inclined to suspect that Sir Robert Peel de serves the title of " the first financier of the day" in somewhat like manner as George the Yourth deserved that of " the first gentleman in Europe"—namely, by making the best imaginable bow to a subject, on first accosting it—not by having anything particular to say to it afterwards. If " the first financier of the day" is the man who can deal best with the common-place of a subject—who can best establish what nobody in his audience disputes—we confess his claim to the de signation. But we should have thought, that to merit that title, there was required more than the mere faculty to show up, at their full length, admitted and glaring absurdities. We should have thought there was required subtlety and acuteness to penetrate the dark and disputed passages—the difficulties which the subject presents to instructed persons. Sir Robert Peel has either exercised his own mind very little on those difficulties, or else he is diffident of his power of exposi• tion to make them clear to other minds, or, finally, he has taken a contemptuous measure of those of his audi tors, and is determined, above all things, to avoid the example of him, who— " Too deep for his hearers, still went.on refining, And thought of convincing, while they thought of dining." But we must be permitted to say that, from a statesman who makes so much fuss about the " principles" of a subject, we had a right to expect, on this occasion, a luminous exposition of those principles. We had a right to expect something more than to be told that Sir R. Peel differs from Adam Smith and Ricardo, in their opinion that convertibility of paper currency was sufficient to prevent over-issue; and that new lights have been discovered since their time, which new lights Sir Robert Peel follows. We have not the slightest in • timation what those lights are, though we have a shrewd guess at them; and could also, we think, enu merate those of them which are now burning in the Bank parlour. But to be told that Sir Robert Peel differs from Adam Smith and Ricardo, without being told why, is really presuming quite sufficiently on the Times-honoured title of " the first financier of the day." A Minister who affects the assertion of large "principles"—larger than he tests by practice— incurs the obligation of giving the most complete possible exposition of those principles. If he assumes the chair of the public lecturer, it is incumbent on him to see that he fills it well. Now from what lecturer on currency, we should like to know, would be tolerated for a moment such a skip from Brummagem and Philadelphia to con clusions in favour of a sole bank „of issue ?—and prac tical propositions, not indeed going that length, but tending in that direction ? The whole difficulty of the subject lies—not in answering advocates of inconvertible currency—not in expatiating on the abuses of credit, whether on this or the other side of the Atlantic—but in establishing the connection of those abuses with unrestricted liberty of issue. That connec tion Sir R. Peel did not even attempt to establish. He took it for granted. But he had no right to take it for granted. He repeated merely the results of the lesson taught him by Old Mother Hubbard and her sons. But the correctness of that lesson is disputed. Right or wrong, it is disputed ; and disputed by many persons of unques tioned abilities, and practical knowledge of the subject. We need only 'mention the names of a few of thegentlemen examined by the last Committee.

It was a safer chivalry certainly to engage the Attwood apostles in preference ; but it was not paying (on Sir Robert's part) exactly the highest compliment, either to himself, or his audience. And what sort of relevancy had Sir Robert's citation of the smash in America ? Remark !—the question is not whether credit, and banking, may be abused —but whether, with a convertible currency, the abuse will take the shape of over-issue of notes. Does Sir Robert Peel mean to affirm that, if not one, or only one, of these American banks had been banks of issue—if the United States Bank had preserved its , privilegei—the loss of which he seems to consider the source of the evil—the vast Avreek of American credit 'could thereby have been avoided P Take Uncle ISaw as the head of a &rally—who went on borrowing for ieara without moans of paying — what does it signify AUDITORS.

DEPARTMENT OP MEDICAL STATISTICS—WiIIiam Farr, Esq., General Register Office. ACTUARY—F. G. P. Neison, Esq. This Office Is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of conseimptive families assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terns than at most other offices. The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1708, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalenct of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from tie preva lence of a single disease; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases o f the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited-1n Bir mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one.third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent, of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-184 0 it will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent, of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, tie value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second point to be explained Is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feiture of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortalitl in consumption was only one-fifth of the other ; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi. dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; hut the same test has been applied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among ni ne diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c.. the fluctuation was only 7} per cei.t., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent.; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 6'4 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer= tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng. land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportuwity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition en the duraticn of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As aw example of this--the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 33 per cent. nearly ; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will ultimately die of consumption, and their expectati ,, n of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14'4, and be the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13'9 ; difference 017 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former can is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing ho!ds good with some other diseases, which have been ir.vestigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little In. fluenced by external circumstances. Ithence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than among select lives and the population gene rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be less. To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance office, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths; on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not . P rovide for more than 109 deaths per annum ; that is to sa y , the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, This fact is highly important to the interests of or only one fifth. this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the principles on which it is founded.

TIMES.—The meeting of the Bank Proprietors held this morning to consider the propositions of Government relative to the new charter, was less numerously attended than might have been anticipated, probably owing to the shortness of the notice, it only having appeared on Saturday, and all country bankers, who form a large class of parties interested in Bank stock, would be too much 'engaged in their own coneerns to have much time to bestow upon this. The room was, however, tolerably lull. As most of those present had read the outline of the project as given in the Morning Papers, the chief objects of curiosity with them evidently .were to learn whether the Directors approved of it, and whether in the course of the negotiation they had been able to make any l n l g y pnras very oposed. long, but it m ig ht b e co ll ec ted fr o m it that the Directors had attempted hoeve successful rn m correspondence Government stand read before wci to f or treducetheir the exclusiveann ua annual privileges llowanee l o t to e b: paidthan 120,000 L, the sum fixed an d p a id un d er th e p rese nt charter, but without success. It a pp ears a l so th a t Mr. the ri m g e i e n tl Goulburn originally intimated that he would expect 'a lower rate of interest than 3 per cent. on the 11,000,000 L, the capital of the Bank lent to the Government. This was strongly objected to, and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer gave way on that particular point. In the gene al discussion of this morning there was very little to otice, most of the Proprietors evidently serving them lves for the adjourned. meeting on Molt LAU" whoa ey will have fortified thenzielvesiby aea id 'pernitil of the correspondence, which is ordered to be printed and distributed forthwith. In general the feeling was sufficiently amicable. The only blow aimed at the Board of Directors was a com plaint of the manner in which the elections to seats at that Board take place, and also of the system of rota tion, by which each member arrives at the chair in suc cession. There was an evident desire on the part of the Proprietors, that the new charter should contain provi sions to remedy these defects ; that the election of Di rectors should not be, as it is at present. a mere form ; and that the Directors themselves should elect that member of their body to the chair who should be found best qualified, and should retain him there as long as the interests of the corporation required. This would assimilate it to the Bank of France, the constitu tion of which has been found to work so well. As far as regards the quoted value of Bank Stock, there is nothing to indicate whether the Proprietors think themselves in a better position or not than they were before the present communication. Yesterday it left off at 1951 to 6, to-day at 195 to 7, the widened margin showing the caution of the jobbers in protecting themselves against heavy sales. lIERALD.—On the details of the proposed banking arrangements opinion will, we believe, be found more uniform than could have been expected from the variety and power of the interests that will be affected by the change. We have every reason to believe that the joint stock banks, and particularly those in London, will • be perfectly satisfied with the proposed alterations ih the law, and that they will in consequence offer no opposi tion to the progress of the measure through Parliament. There will be some grumbling amongst the private banks of issue, but even there it will by no means be general. simply because they expected that their interest would not have met with so much consideration in the Pre- • mier's plan. They will, therefore, remain quiescent be cause they expected that their situation would hayo been worse. One point will, we believe, be raised by the issuing banks, namely, that it will not be fair to tie them down to the average circulation of the last two years is artittx imum, on the ground that it has been below the general average in the ordinary state of trade. This objection, and some others of a similar eharacter, aro, however, of . such minor consideration, that we need not chiral upon them at present. As the special separate weekly re turns will show the precise situation of every individual bank, it is calculated that the exposure will lead to "the extinction of many small concerns, or their amalgams_ Lion with others, so that the general tendency of the measure will be towards concentration. The feeling in the commercial circles we may state, without qualification, is decidedly favourable. When the system is once in proper working order, it is ex pected to produce greater stability in trade, and throw impediments in the way of gambling speculation which will not be easily surmounted. The deputies from the joint-stock banks meet to morrow, but we are given to understand that they will call a general meeting of the whole body fur some day next week, without at present expressing any opinion of their own. As for the banking interest in Scotland, we may safely predict that they are perfectly content to be let alone for the present, and in this view we have as little doubt that the great body of the people will concur. We cannot however, say so much for Ireland, for there the general feeling is, we believe, precisely the reverse, and from the banking statistics which we exhibited in our last, it cannot be said to be without very cogent reasons. We have given what we believe to be a fair view of the first impressions produced by the currency measure of Ministers, and if they are altered on further con sideration, we shall notice the changes of opinion as they occur.
