OCTOBER CIRCULAR, 1850. We would remind the public that all TEA, bad or good, the hest or the most worthless, pays an uniform duty of 2s. 2% d. per lb., and is necessarily subject to equal charges for freight, porterage, wharfage, dock dues, &c., consequently the commonest is much heavier taxed, in proportion to its real or marketable value, than either the medium or the finest class Teas. thus, common Con,c,rou costs in Canton only 70. to Bd. per lb., but before it reaches the English consumer it pays in duty and charges no less than 400 per cent. ; the medium class Tea, which costs 12d. to 15d. per lb., aver ages in duty and charges not more than 200 per cent. ; whilst the finest class Teas, which cost in China four times the price of the commoner, ply no more than 100 per cent. It must be apparent that, wiat a fixed charge of 2s. 6d. per lb. upon all Tea, mere price alone is no criterion of either good value or cheapness ; and we espe elelly direct the attention of those who are solicitous to economise their expenditure that they voluntarily tax themselves double or quadruple what they have any necessity for doing by purchasing inferior Teas.

Consequently the gallant officer has hoisted his film (blue at the mizzen), and presided at the court - martial ' on Mr. Parry, the engineer of the Pluto steam-vessel, as a flag-officer. Captain Michael Seymour (1826), it is now confi dently reported, will be the ne.v superintendent of Sheer ness Dockyard, nice Price, promoted. He is third son of the late Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, Bart., K.C.B. Entered the navy Nov. 1813, and has served seventeen years afloat, lastly as flag-captain in the Vin dictive, 50, to Admiral Sir F. Austen, K.C.8., when c ommander-in-chief of the West Indies. He has for several years been registrar and secretary to the order of the Bath, and is in the 48th year of his age. THE COURT OF INQUIRY ON COMMODORE PLUM RIDGE.—DEVONPORT, WEDNESDAY.—The court of in quiry commenced again at ten A M., and aejourned at tour P.M., without being finished. The officers meet again to-morrow morning. Mr. Hamley, the ex-secre tary, it appears, is pushing the Commodore hard; four days have now been occupied in this investigation, and there are no signs of a conclusion. The examination of Commander Morris has taken up more than half of this day, and it is not determined when the Cambrian, 40, is to be paid off. Perhaps it would have been better to have borne the witnesses on the guard-ship, and have paid off all the rest. Commander A. P. E. Wilmot has commissioned the Harlequin, 12, at Devonport, for coast of Africa ser vice, instead of the Britomart, 8, found to be so defective the moment she was wanted. The Harlequin is to have a complement of 125 officers and men. Six midshipmen passed at the Naval College on Mon day, and eight second masters pissed for the rank of masters. A Russian corvette man-of-war arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, and at ten o'clock saluted the gar rison with 21 guns, which the Platform battery returned; at eleven she saluted the flag of Admiral Sir B. Capel, which the Victory returned. She is to go into harbour to-day. Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, hauled off from the dockyard last evening, and will probably go out of harbour on Monday. She will proceed to Lisbon en route to the Mediterranean. Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Tatham, left Devonport on Wednesday with dispatches for Brazils. Buzzard steam-sloop, from Woolwich, and Styx steam sloop, from Portsmouth, have arrived at Devonport. The screw-sloop Wasp arrived at Plymouth on the 6th, and is still detained at that port to remedy some defects in her machinery. This was also the case at Portsmouth, and it is to be feared this fine vessel has not been supplied with efficient engines; they are only of 100-horse power; she is 980 tons; has a 42-frigate's mast and sails, but barque-rigged, and has windows on converts o e i lowervnrivneg a s 2 rtcoono gallonsd s e t e a k n , t whichsuof ppl y completely ventilate the ship.

She is an exceedingly quick sailer, quite a clipper; 160 men, which will be increased by 48 kroomen on the coast, but she will still be short-handed. Numerous seatnen have applied to join the Wasp since she arrived ,t Plymouth, but have been refused on account of the complement being full. So much for a popular ship, and a good captain. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 14.—The Illustrious, 72 the late depot ship of the ordinary, was taken up the harbour this day into ordinary. Lieutenant John Secombe, R.N., arrived here yes terday, for the purpose of fitti ng the launches of her I Majesty 'a ships Britannia, 120, and Vengeance, 84, having completed those of her Majesty's ships Albion an d St.'George, at Devonport, on his plan for laying out anchors and chain cables. The Captain and chief officers of the Turkish ships PLYMOUTH, NOV. 13.—The steam-vessel Styx arrived yesterday, and went up harbour. The frigate Calliope was undocked and masted on Monday. The steam-vessel Avon was placed in dock on Monday to have her copper examined and repaired. Lord John Hay, Commodore Superintendent, having returned to the dockyard, hoisted his broad pennant on Saturday, on board the St. George. • The merchant schooner Enrico, of Denis, which over set on Saturday at Aliilbay, was righted yesterday. Her anchors, Asia cables, and other heavy gear have been discharged, and it is hoped that the water will be cleared out of her hold to-morrow. The schooner is not much damaged; she is in charge of Messrs, Trceby and Co. APPOINTDIENTS. WOOLWICH, Nov. I4.—Gunner—David Hera to the Volcano, 5, s tea ra-s.l oop, now ready for commission at Woolwich, and intended for service on the coast of Africa, in pursuance of the resolution adopted at the Admirall to send only steam-vessels for the suppres sion of the slave trade in future, and to order home all the sailing vessels as soon as steamers can be made ready. Gunner—lsaac Harris, to the Locust steam-vessel at Woolwich. Boatswain—Hugh M'Dougall, to the Volcano. Carpenter—John Reid, to the Volcano. PROMOTION. Thomas Pope, to be acting gunner. The Fisgard flag-ship, at Woolwich, is Co be paid off, and recommissioned by Commodore Henry Eden, Su perinteudent or the Woolwich Dockyard, on the 26th instant. The Locust steam-vessel, of 100 horse-power, at Wool wich, will be the next steamer commissioned after the Volcano for service on the coast of Africa. THE CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN AT BRENTWOOD. BRENTWOOD, THURSDAY.—The Rev. Robert Aber crombie Johnstone, rector of West Horndon-with-In grave, a small hamlet in this vicinity, who was charged a few weeks since cn the information of Mary Ann Doe, a young girl living under his roof in the capacity of a domestic servant, with having feloniously assaulted her on the morning of the- Bth ult., and who has been remanded from time to time by the benct of magis trates at this place, in consequence of the absence of the complainant, surrendered to-day, in pursuance of the reeognizances he had entered into on Thursday last, for the purpose of meeting the charge. The proceedings excited considerable interest, and a very full bench attended. The Rev. John Pearson pre sided, and amongst the magistrates present were the Rev. Hastings Robinson, D.D., Rev. Thomas LudbeY, Rev. J. Lewis, Rev. J.• English, Mr. C. T. Tower, and Captain Button. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister,instructed by Mr. Shaw, of Billericay, was again present to watch the case on behalf of the accused. _ _ The mauistrates met at half-past twelve o'clock, and remained in private consultation for some time before the court wits opened. When the public were admitted, The Chairman asked Superintendent Coulson whether he had succeeded in apprehending the girl, Mary Anne Doe ?—Superintendeht Coulson said he had not. The Chairman—Have )eu any reascnal.de hop of being abl- to produce her:' Superintendent Coulson— Yes, sir, I have, I had great hope I should have been abk) to produce her before now. The Chairman (to Mr. Clarkson)—Do you wish to ask the witness any question? Mr. Clarkson—No, sir. The Chairman—ln this case we have good reason to believe that an undne influence has been exerted to keep the complainant out of the way, and consequently that an attempt is being made to defeat the ends of public justice. Further, we are aware that the police are in posAcBsion of recent information which calls upon us to exerciA the discretion with which we are entrusted, and we therefore remand the accused.till Thursday next, at twelve o'clock. Mr. Clarkson,begged that the Bench would be so good as to allow the accused to be taken into custody. He desired it merely as a matter of form, in order to test ;he question whether the Bench had any power at all over his client. The Rev. Mr. Ludbey—The accused has already been once in custody, Mr. Clarkson. Mr. Clarkson—Oh, very well, I will not trouble the Bench further then. The Rev. Mr. Ludbey—l feel it due to the Chairman to state that the decision he has pronounced is our una nimous opinion. Mr. Clarkson was quite at a loss to understand how the Bench could venture to act upon a suggestion that undue influence had been used to keep the complainant out of the way when there was not a tittle of proof of the fact Moreover, unless the undue influence referred to could be connected with his client, what had he to do with it? The Chairman—ln consequence of your observation, Mr. Clarkson, we will call some evidence to show that undue influence has been exerted. Do I understand you to object that no evidence has been called to prove this fact? Mr. Clarkson—l have made no objection. I merely made an observation. I could have made no objection, inasmuch as I understood the case was disposed of for to-day. The Chairman—l say again, that if challenged to pro duce evidence, we are ready and willing to do so. We ourselves are satisfied of the fact, and Et the proper time evidence will be brought forward to prove it. Mr. Clarkson said as the case was now remanded, he had to request that the name of Mr. Thomas Wright, of Brentwood, might be substituted tor that of Mr. Wil liams, whose articles of partnership, it appeared, did not allow him to become bail for any person. The Bench having assented, Mr. Clarkson said—While on this subject, he might, perhaps, be allowed to correct a statement which had gone forth, to the effect that Mr. Thompson, a former bail for the accused, had declined to continue the res ponsibility. The fact was, Mr. Thompson was in Lon - don on Thursday last, and cou ld not atten d a t Brent wood, and this was the sole re ason w h y anot h er bail had been substituted. The proceedings were here formally adjourned, and the accused, with his counsel and friends, Rift the court. Before the bench had broken up, however, Superinten dent Coulson received an electric telegraph message , in forming him that the prosecutri x , w i t h h e r mother and father, were in custody, and w ou ld b e a t Brentwood in half an hour. An intimation w as i mme di a t e ly f o rwarded to Mr. Clarkson, and in the eou rse o f a very short time the Learned Gentleman, accomp anied by the reverend defendani, returned to the emir In reply to the Chairman, M r . Cl ar kson expressed his readiness to go on with th e case a t andonce a t if. accordingly Th e gir warranged that brought ht i unptoon court the b pa : was tt two o the charge should be proc ee d e d w i t h. of the girl female accompanied Y cl . . ' o'clock. t o h e k. r , and She was by a young were in the custody of Serg ean t G unn , an ac tive detective her Ail fatherthe parties and mother, officer of the G division of the metropolitan police. Gunn had apprehended the girl only this :nothing at a low lodging-house in Camden-town. On ex plaining who he was to the complainant, and telling her that she must come with him, she cried very much, and said she could not come without her mother. Gunn a scertained from the woman of the house that the father and mother were living in the neighbourhood of Islington, and thither he accordingly drove with the complainant. As soon as Mrs. Doe saw her daughter in custody, she ran towards her, and grasping her hand said, " Now mind, my child, you tell the gentlemen that it was all wrong what you told them before; and if they ask you how you came to tell such a tale, say `you was not in your right mind, and you did not know what you said.' " All the witnesses were then sent out of court, an d The Chairman having ordered the complainant to be re-sworn, requested Mr. C. C. Lewis, the clerk of the bench, to read over her deposition, made before himself and Captain Button, on the occasion of her preferring the complaint against Mr. Johnstone. Mr. Lewis having read the deposition, The Chairman asked the complainant whether what she had heard read as her deposition was true. Complainant —No. I really did not know what I was after when I stated that. The Chairman—ls it true, I ask you? Mr. Clarkson—She has already said " No." Complainant—l don't know what I said. I was quite insensible. The Chairman—When you came beforme rne, you must remember you swore that Mr. Johnstone did something to you on the morning of the Bth of October. Was that true or false? C o mplainant—Why, sir, they tightened ms so, I did not know what I said. 'Complainant . The Chairman—Who frightened yo u ? ; —The parties who came to my mother's house. (The e iiness was here understood to refer to the police officers.) The Chairmen—Well, you are not to be alarmed or frightened by any one here. You are sworn to speak the truth, and if you do that you have nothing to fear. Complainant—All I know is, that as soon as I entered the kitchen I fainted away. Whether Mr. Johnstone did anything to me or not I do not know. I believe he did not. The Chairman—Did you go home that morning? Ccmplainant—Yes, brcatue I was so ill. The Chairman—What wade you ill ? Complain an t —I don't kn ow , I had been ill all night. The witness was hero questioned at great length by the chairman and the other magistrates with s view of testing her veracity. Her answers, however, were all of the same character, and when pressed upon any point in her previous deposition she invariably sheltered herself by maintaining that she did not know what she said when she laid the complaint, and that she was now sorry for having done so. • A magistrate asked her whether she recollected Mr. Johnstoue having kissed her on the Sunday before the Bth of Octeber. Complainant—Wby, I don't know, sir. Mr. Clarkson objected to any question being asked calculated to prejudice the accused which bad not a di rect bearing upon the case under investigation. After a long and somewhat personal discussion be tween the Benchind the Learned Advocate, The complainant was further questioned by Mr. Totter, 'who te , :minded her of the awkward position she was placed in by denying now what she had previously stated upon oath. 'I he girl still persisted in averring that she was now stating the truth, and repeated her expressions of regret for having told so very different a story before. M. Tower expressed his opinion that the complainant had been most disgracefully tutored. It was impossible for him to believe that a young girl like the com plainant would come before the Bench and swear to certain facts, and afterwards contradict them in Coto, un less she had been tutored to do so. Mr. Clarkson said he believed all the circumstances of this case were not yet known. Atter some further discussion, in the course of which Mr. Lewis, a magistrate, mentioned that the mother of the girl had complained to him in his private capacity of the treatment ;her daughter had received from Mr. Johnstone, and entreated his interference, The Chairman said they had two affidavits made by the complainant now before them. One of them, which had been sworn in his absence, severely affected the character of the defendant. That which had been sworn in his presence entirely rebutted the other. How the complainant had been induced thus to vary her state ment'clid not appear, but as the facts stood there were certainly no grounds for detaining the defendant in custody. The case was, therefore, dismissed. Mr. Johnstone then retired, and the court was presently cleared. After the proceedings had terminated the bench gave instructions to Mr. Lewis to prefer a bill of indictment for perjury against Mary Ann Doe. CORN, CURRENCY, AND FREE- TRADE MEETING AT DERBY. A meeting was held on Friday evening, in the Lec ture-room of the Mechanics' Institute, Derby, to con sider the effects of the present monetary system esta blished by Sir Robert Peel's Bills of 1819 and 1844, on the agricultural, manufacturing, and industrial Interests of the country. The Rev. John Twells, vicar of Eaton, attended as a deputation from the Retford Currency Society. The meeting was attended by a large number of highly-respectable and intelligent gentlemen. William Eaton Mousley, Esq., of Derby, was unani mously called to the chair. In introducing Mr. Twells to the meeting, he observed that he was a gert!eman of no ordinary character, who had devoted much attention to the subject of the currency, and attended there for no other object than to illustrate the truth. The Rev. Mr. Twenns said—The difficulty which has generally been supposed to envelope the whole question of the currency has. prevented it from receiving that at tention which its importance undoubtedly deserves. A subject so important, however, as that which regulates every bargain made between man and man cannot be neglected with impunity. Of the currency Sir Robert Peel said, in 1844, " There is no contract, public or pri vate, no engagement, national or individual, which is unaffected by it." Earlier, in 1825, Sir James Graham had said, " The real difficulties of the State and the present danger of the landed interest will be found to lurk under the question of the currency." Yes, gen tlemen, the real difficulties of the State still lurk under the currency question ; and it is to drag these hidden dangers ferth, and to endeavour to show what they are, and how they are acting on the best interests of that community that I appear before you this day. The currency question may be difficult, it may be dis tasterul, not only to country gentlemen, 95 Sir James Graheree said, but to people in general ; but if its effects are shown to be ruinous to country gentlemen, most injurious to the interests of all classes, I have no fear that the English people will gst to understand this question. But as there is no royal road to learning of any kind, so there is no possibility of understat tug this question without some attentioreafrought, an vestigatien. Such was the process % Flitch I and , went. Though for many years convinced of the im portance of this subject, I recently reviewed thole question, gladly availing myself of the learning, re search, and ability which have so amply been lavished on this question s but which, paying no slavish deference to the most eminent authorities, I thought out the question, step by step, in my own mind, end it seas only after mature deliberation that, having become, more than ever assured of the immense importance of the subject to all classes of my fellow-countrymen, I entered upon another consideration. That consideration was what was my duty as an individual. The decision I formed, right or wrong, was this—that it was was my bounden duty to do everything in my power, let my circum stances or position be as adverse as they might. to endea vour to disseminate a right understanding of this vital subject.—(Hear, hear.) For I hold that no man ought to keep the truth hidden in his own mind, but rather to sacrifice his own pleasure, ease, or Bele. interest, to uphold the truth, especially important, truth involving the happiness or misery of thousands of his fellow-countrymen. If I venture thus to intrude myself for a moment on your attention, it is because I am fully aware it may be said that no slight responsibility is in curred by any one who endeavours to obtain an altera tion of the monetary system of a great nation. But I do so without fear, because I know that to obtain any alteration is utterly beyond my power. With the Eng lish people, and not with me, or with those with whom I act, will rest the responsibility of any alteration of the currency. Ranged, as we see against us, wealth and talent, and political influence, what danger is there of our misleading the people? No, we are powerless to mislead the people. It is only if, after full investigation of the subject, we shall be found to have truth on our side that we shall prevail—truth, which commends itself to the hearts and consciences of all men, which from the be ginning of the world has been slowly but surely forcing its way, obtaining from age to age increased and in creasing numbers of sincere and ardent worshippers, and whose temple will at last be found standing; alone in simple majesty, when the deserted shrines of error, and all the specious fabrics of falsehood are crumbled into dust.—(Cheers, and " Hear, hear.") Gentlemen, the notice which calls together this meeting in vites you to coneider " the pr esen t state o f the cur- reney and its influence upon the landed agricultural and industrial interests of the country." This is a wide range. It is impossible for me to enter fully into so ex pansive a subject. I can present but an imperfect sketch of the question. And if, when you have heard me, you remain unconvinced, I have only to beg that you will attribute it to the incapacity cf the advocate, and not to the badness of his cause. The present state of the cur rency rests on the Bank Charter Act of 1844. taken as the complement of the measure known as Peel's Bill of 1819. I say that the influence of these Acts on the landed, agricultural, and industrial interests of the coun try has been and is most injurioue. And in urging my objections to these measures, I beg that I may no t be considered as s p ea ki ng with unnecessary severity of the statesman whose name is so intimately connected with them, and whose sudden and untimely withdrawal from the political arena has called forth so large a share of the nation's sympathy. I would rather that Sir Robert Peel were still alive to hear what is said, and know what his opponents are doing, and to vindicate his measures. But though the Minister is departed his acts are still in existence. I war not with the dead states men, but with whet I believe to he his mistaken policy, the injurious effects of which, cm the best interests of my country, still survive. Let it be remembered that the father of Sir Robert Peel —a men who spoke from practical knowledge anti ex perience—in presenting a petition from the merchants, h inkers, and traders of the city of Louden against the Bill of 1819, expressed a decided opinion against that mea sure. But the elder Sir Robert Peel again came forward to express his opinion upon the subject. In 1826 he se dressed a letter to the Members of both Houses of Par liament. He had then had time to witness the effects of the 818 of 1819, and to modify or correct his former im pressions; but age, experience, aed mature deliberation confirmed him in the condemnation of the measure of his son. Now, the measure hate referred to may be in a word described as antagonistic to that adopted by Mr. Pitt. To make the subject platter, allow me to advert to the growth of the monetary system of this country. Ono of the first things man does is to make exchanges, to give whatever he has obtained by labour—which Adam Smith says is the source of all wealth—and which he does not want, for something that ho does want: this is barter. But here he has to find some one who wants exactly what he has to dispose of, ared wants also exactly the quantity of the com modity which he has to part with. Barter, therefore, being attended with great iecoevenience, quickly gives place to a system iu which, by common consent, something is fixed en as a ne divan of exchange.. ' Thi s i s ca ll e d mone y. "In the rude ages of society, says Adam Smith, e cattle are said to ne the common instrument of commerce; and though they must have been a most inconvenient one, yet in oaf times we bid things were frequently valued according to the number of cattle which had been given in exchange fair them. l'he armour of Diomede, says Ilona, r, cost only nine oxen, but that of Gleucue cost an huadred oxen." goes on to say that salt is the common in.truinent in Abyssinia, a species of shell in some parts of tho coast of India, and hides end dressed leather in some other cenntries. At this day on the coast of Africa slaves are the circulating medium. Metals, however, soon le - gin to he employed as money. Metals are durable and portable; they can be divided ilito a number of smite. end by fusion can be united. Iron was the money of the ancient Spartans; copper that cf the ancient Romans, and as commerce advanced silver and gold became money. In common with all mankind, I admire those beeutiful producions of nature—silver and gold, not only as being portable, durable, and scarce, but on account of their intrinsic beauty and purity. I admire gold es I du the diamond, but I think with John Locke, that gold was not intended to be the money of ,-("7-•• , 1) r, • \ 4 1 1 111 Efa • . in the Session of 1791-5, on the mo;tion of r-Jeh 23:fee er e clair, "to promote the improvemenref the IvilVitelA *A= - • cultivated lards of the country, as daisost .. 9ssential'aillilie 1 ., 4. 5, ; I I • " 7 : advantage." Now, suppose a landed preprietelie_ivith'an v . estate of ten thousand a-year, to have esuctitiaTeratia4es'on e it to the amount of five thousand. His rent, we may suppose, calculated on the comparatively moderate price of wheat, at 60s. a quarter; but prices declining, he re , ducea his rent 25 per cent., and receives 7,500/. instead of 10,000. His fixed payment, however, of e,OOOl. re maining, his income is reduced one half, and thus he finds that the mortgage with which he encumbered his land to " promote a most essential public advantage." issues in a severe private loss.—(Hear, hear.) Now, take the case with respect to the farmer. I hold in my band an important document, compiled by the writers at Bir mingham, who, under the signature of " Gemini," have so ably and perseveringly endeavoured to enlighten their fellow-countrymen on the subject of the currency. This document is headed " Corn, Taxation, and Rent," and by it it appears that the amount of taxes in the most expensive year of the war (1815), being 72,210,5121., estimated in wheat, at the average price of that year, viz., 655. 7d. a quarter, amounts to 22,020,994 quarters, while the amount of taxes for the year 1849, being 52,951,7491., estimated in wheat at the average price of the year, lz., 445. 3d., equals 23,932,993. It appears, therefore, that the pressure of taxation on the farmer during the last year was greater than that in the moat expeueive year of the war.— (Hear.) At a meeting recently held of the hop-growers of Kent and Sussex, to petition for a reduction of the hop duty, and at which Mr. Hodges, M.P. for Sussex, presided, it was stated that the duty was augmented during the war on account of the so-called depreciation of the paper currency. The Bill of 1819 was said at the time by its supporters to effect an alteration of only 3 per cent. in the value of money, but that alteration has since been admitted to extend to between 30 and 50 per cent. With a high duty thus increased in value and with low prices, and having to compete with all the world in the sale of their commodity, can it be matter of surprise that the hop-growers of that district complain that they shall all be ruined?—(Hear, hear.) The same cause which affects the farmer effects the industrial in terests of all classes of the community, and will be felt by them whenever the contraction of the circulation consequent on the exportation of the precious metals prevents the possibility of their obtaining a remunera tive price. The remedy is to be found-Ist, In allow ing gold to be sold at its market price. "It is neces sary," says Locke, " that your gold should be coined, and have the King's stamp upon it, in order to secure men in receiving it that there is so much gold in each piece; but it is not necessary that it should have a fixed value put upon it by public authority." With this it will be necessary to provide an adequate paper currency, based either on the system so philosophically proposed by Mr. John Taylor or on some other, by means of which the paper circulation may be made as safe as gold itself. And now, gentlemen, if I have at all succeeded in mak ing myself understood, you will see why it is that I so earnestly press the subject of monetary reform upon your attention. It is because I believe most firmly, that the physical, social, and moral improvement of the country is deeply involved in this question. The prin ciple of seeking the welfare of the people at large is, I am thankful to say, admitted most fully by modern statesmen. The wisest, the best, and most disinterested men in the nation have, by various means, laboured for this purpose. But, gentlemen, in every association or institution, having fur its object the amelioration or the improvement of the people in which I have been into ' tested, I have found that nothing could be effected till the finances of that institution were placed in a good conditeoe. Now, as it is with a society or institution, so it is with a nation. Take the important cause of educa tion. All parties agree that the people should be edu cated. But the education question is like others, a money question. The people of the state of Massa chusetts devote 120,000 guineas a year to the education of their population of 800,000; we give about the same to educate the 21,000,000 of England and Wales. Why, is this ? It is because to every proposition that is made for the improvement of the condition of the people, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is obliged to answer— " Where are we to find the means ?"—(Hear, hear.) I wish to see the country not only willing but able to educate the people, as well as to secure a fair remunera tive price to the farmer and every producer for his pro duce, and to give to every labourer and operative a just price for the labour of his hands. I support a reforma tion of the currency because I wish to see the great body of my felow-countrymen better fed, better clothed, better lodged, better educated, and better paid for their labour. —(Cheers.) Whoentlemen, is to effect all this? Can 'phineethroeitts do it? Can charitable associations do it? C e an Governknent do it? No; the people of England must do it for themselves. All I wish is, that every thing may be dine to allow to the energy, to the in dustry, to the per.tewrance, to the enterprise, to the - tel l igen ce of the English people fair play—a fair field and no favour.—(Cheers.) You have given to the people cheap food, give them also cheap' money to bay their food.—(Hear, flee.) Give them ch ea p money and they will g ( t their ch ic en educated, they will work for them selves, and by their ow • ustry, and the bl e s s i ng o f Providence, be lbetta wtter clothed, and b e tt er fr lodged than th . itre. e Creator of man, as Mr. T. Attwood ha wisely said, who gave man a mouth to consumeelgiaLhim two hauds to produce. Reform the money la which the productions of his hands are rendered comparatively valueless, by forced cheapness, end, though the primal cause will still be in force, and though man a ill still have to eat bread by the sweat of his brow, yet he will by labour obtain bread to eat. Not the bitter bread of public charity, but the pleasant bread honest industry.—(Hear, hear, end cheers.) But, though I wish, most sincerely wish well to the pour man, would Ito benefit him injure the rich? No, certainly not. When I say that I wish to promote the welfare of my fellow-countrymen, I mean all my fellow countrymen. And it is because I believe that all would ultimately benefit, that the property of the rich would be more secure, more untluctuating, that not only the farmers, but the landlord, not only the operative, but the manu facturer and merchant, not only the peasant, but the Prince would be benefited, that I urge forward this ques tion.—(Cheers.) I believe that the man of income, even, would eventually be benefited. His property, let it be what it may, would be more secure, his taxes would be reduced, his opportunities of providing for his family would be increased. For it is a weak as well as a selfish and wicked notion that any class of the com munity in a series of years really benefit by the injury of any other class.—(Hear, hear.) It is the great evil of our present system that it has placed the different classes of the community in opposition to each other— that it has taught the egriculturist that his interest is opposed to that of the manufacturer; that it has taught that the rich man's interest is oppcsed to that of the poor man; and now it is fast teaching the tenant that his in terest is opposed to that of the landlord. But I believe that a reformation of the monetary system would do more than anything else to allay discord, to heal divi sions, and to promote the goodwill and right feeling be tween all classes. Poverty has banished affection from many a house; poverty is the parent of many a crime. This is epually true of a nation as of an individual. I wish to advance the nation's prosperity, and thereby to promote peace, concord, and moral improvement.— (Hear, hear.) And therefore it is that I now call upon you as Englishmen to promote, by a reformation of our present most pernicious monetary system, the welfare of all classes of your fellow-countrymen; I call upon you as men to support this cause, being assured that with the welfare of Great Britain is bound up the progress and welfare of the whole world; arid as a minister of religion I call upon you as Christian men to promote this cause, because I believe in my conscience that it involves not only the political and social, but the moral and religious welfare of man.—(Loud cheers.) A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Mr. Twells for his very lucid and able speech, and the meet ing separated. the world. Gold and silver then became the medium of exchange first by weight. The revenues of the ancient Saxon kings of England are said to have been paid, not in money but in kind, that is, in victuals and provisions of all sorts. William the Conqueror introduced the custom of paying them in money; this money, however, was for a long time received at the Exchequer by weight and not by tale. Coins, however, were soon adopted, as supposed, to ascertain not only the fineness but the weight of the metal. The wages of labourers at the time of William the Conqueror was a halfpenny a day, and oe.e penny in harvest time. The land was for the ,greater part uncultivated and the population scanty, and badly clothed . and fed. The trade of London itself amounted to about 200,000/. But c great im provement took place in the instrument of ex change. " The genius of the Hebrews," says a writer, whose refinement, learning and literary taste have shed a lustre on the ancient race from which he de scended—the elder Disreali—" produced the wonderful invention of hills of exchange; an object like the art of printing become too familiar to be admired; the miracle has ceased and its utility only remains, yet both are sources of civilization, and connect together as in one commonwealth the whole universe." It may indeed be doubted whether the effects of the discovery of the art of printing have been more " wonderful" than those produced by that of billa of exchange. The first Euro pean bank, that of Venice, was established in the reign of Richard Cour de Lion. Near about this time the Lombards, as the merchants of Italy were called, came to England and established themselves in the street which still bears their name. They brought with them mach commercial knowledge and skill, and united the business of bankers with that of goldsmiths. They in creased in wealth and importance, and usually demand ing twenty per cent for money lent, became in the fifteenth century very rich. Henry VII. cherished com merce its a power to be employed against the barons. In the time of Elizabeth Thomas Gresham, a noble merchant, did much to improve the state of the English finances. The discovery of the American mines caused at this time great advance in the prices of all commodities. The purchasing power of money depending on its relative proportion to the thing to be purchased, the increase in the quantity of silver, particularly at this time, lowered its value in rela lion to corn; in other words, the price of corn rose. During the civil war Charles borrowed money of the goldsmiths; the rich also placed their money for secu rity in their hands, And the receipts issued by the goldsmiths for money lodged with them circulated from hand to hand, and were known as goldsmiths' notes. These formed the first kind of bank notes in England, and were an advance on bills of exchange. The first public debt arose from the seizure by Charles of the money paid into the Exchequer by the goldsmiths in advance of the taxes. Public indignation forced the King to consider this a debt, and it remains to this day a part of the national debt. The Bank of England was established in 1694, with a capital of 1,200,0001., raised by subscription and lent to Government. In 1696, Mr. Montague, acting under the advice of Sir Isaac Newton, during the re-coinage of the silver, issued 51. and 101. Exchequer-bills, which were received in payment for the taxes. How nearly this great man (Newton) grasped the vital principle which we advocate—that of a Go vernment paper money—but which he did not quite see the way to establish permanently, is evident from this. In 1745, Derby being occupied by the rebels, a severe run occurred ou the Bank of England, which then, to gain time, paid its notes in sixpences, showing the then ex istence of the double standard. The gold standard in troduced by Sir Robert Peel was not the ancient stan dard of the country. As fresh sums of money were from time to time supplied to the Government, the capital of the bank was increased. Private banks had in the mean time been established, thus the circulating medium of the country was considerably increased, and with the facilities thus afforded to commerce, the pro gress of the nation was also considerable. In 17934 the public revenue amounted to nearly eighteen millions, the population being nearly ten millions; while on the accession of William and Mary, in 1689, the re venue, as stated by Mr. Macaulay, was about two millions, or 165,0004 less than was received for postage principsily in, pennies ill 1349. In 1797 a most important event in the monetary history of the cou* h ry occurred. Engaged in an expensive war, which haeltdrained the country of its bullion, the Bsnk of England, being no longer able with safety to itself to mike further ad yances to Government, Mr. Pitt procured tk,e p ass i ng o f 'tie Bank Restriction Act. By this Act the Bank was dis charged from the obligation of paying its notes in gold, the reties •being made a legal tender for the payment of , all debts, and receivable f,or taxes. Theo began the issue also of 11. notes. Then commenced a period unexampled in the history of this nation, duritee which, ire spite of the war and all its attendant evils, the progress of the nation was most rapid and extraordi nary. The rent of land, which in 1793 amounted to 22,000,0001. a year, had iecreased by 1815 to 39,350,000/. The number of inclosure bills between 1797 and 1316 was not less than 1,779. The price of corn, which for a long pericd had on the average been below 15s. the quarter, rose to an average between 1794 and 1820 of 87%. 10d. a quarter; and from 1809 to 1820, to 98s. 9d. a quarter. The expenditure of the country in the year 1815 amounted to the enormous sum of 111,491,5201. But the war happily came to an end, and the nation justly expected that the prosperity and happiness of the community would make more happy progress in a time of peace. But during the war two causes had been in operation on the nation's welfare. There was the war exhausting the resources of the country and making it poor, and there was an adequate paper currency deve loping the energies of the country and making it rich. We had vanquished our enemy and secured for the country the blessing of peace, and the next step we took was to turn our back upon our friend— Pitt's monetary system, and deprive peace of its blessings. Immediately after the proclamation of peace the Bank of England received an intimation that it must prepare for a return to cash payments. It contracted its issues accordingly. " Such a scene," says Sir James Graham, " both of agricultural and commercial distress ensued as this unhappy country at that time never witnessed. The Government was dismayed at the sufferings Which their merely contemplated measure had produced. The circulating medium was again increased, and by 1819 all the interests of the country were in a prosperous con dition. Peel's Bill became the law of the land, and in a few months the sevcrett distress pervaded all classes. Again the Government of the day relented. Iu 1122 a Small Note Act was passed, and one-pound notes again put into circulation. The unexampled prospe r ity o Mr. Rohinson, in 1525, succeeded. But it became advanta geous to export gold; the circulation was contracted; and the panic of 1825, with its ruinous consequences, followed. I will not, gentlemen, trace, as I have done on former occasions, the effects produced on this un• happy country by the contractions and expansions of the currency. In 1844 Sir H. Peel introduced his Bank Charter Bill, which was, he said, to remedy all the evils which ex perience had proved to result from his former measure. Mr. Goulbern, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, called this measure "a perfect system." For a year or two an expanded circulation fostered speculation, then gold being exported, the circulation was contracted, and we had the panic of 1847. The Committee appointed by the House of Commons decided by a small majority —Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Goulburn voting for their own measure—against the resolutions proposed by Mr. Spooner, condemnatory of the present monetary system; while the House of Lords' Committee reported that the Bill of 1844 had decidedly failed in accomplishing all the important objects for which it was enacted. The report of the Loads' Conmaittee thus describes the Act of 1844, passed as necessary to complete and carry out the principle of the Act of 1819: " 1. To those who may have expected that the 7th and Bth Viet., c. 32, would effectually prevent a recur rence of cycles of commercial excitement and depression, the contrast between the years 1845 and 1847 must prce duce a grievous disappointment. " 2. To those who anticipated that the Act would put a ciceck on improvident speculation, the disappointment cunnot be less, if reliance is to be placed (as the Com mittee are confident it may) on the statement of the Governor of the Bank, and of other witnesses, that 'speculations were never carried to such an enormous extent as in 1846, and the beginning of 1847.' - ...........„ " 3. It the Act were relied on as a security against violent fluctuations in the value of mo ney, t h e fallacious ness of such anticipations is conclusively proved by the fact, that whilst the difference between the highest and lowest rate of discount was in the calamitous years, 1837 and 1839, but 2-1 to 24 per cent., the difference in 1847 rose to 61. "4. If it was contemplated that the number and the extent of commercial failures would hare been lessened, the deplorable narrative of the Governor of the Bank, recording the failure of thirty-three houses, compara tively in large business, in London alone, to the amount of 8,129.000/., is a conclusive reply. " 5. If the enormous extent to which railroad specula tion has been carried be considered as an evil to which a sound syst em of b an ki ng wou ld h ave appl i ed a correc tive, such a corrective has not been found in an Act, since the passing of which, during a period of three years, an increased railway capital of upwards . of 221,000,0004 has been authorised to be raised by Parlia ment, and when the enormous sum of 76,390,0001. is stated, uu higli financial authority, to have been actually expanded on railways in two years and a half. " 6. If the power of ot4tainieg . banking accommoda tion on moderate terms were considered to be promoted by the Act of 1844, it cannot be said that this important object has peen attained, since it appears in evidence that, in 1847. in addition to an interest of 9 or 10 per cent., a commission was also fiequently paid, raising the charge to 10, 20, or 30 per cent., according to the time which bills had to run." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: Slll,—Having read in The Sun of Saturday, Nov. 2, a leading article on " Vitriolated Peat, or Turf Mould," the Irish public had no idea that 455 tons of sulphuric acid could he obtained in the United Kingdom, but there never was a doubt of an inexhaus tible supply of bog stuff. An objection against the in troduction of sulphuric acid was its limited supply; an other, its deleterious effects ; the next objection, that it was a potent weapon of incendiarism, since one night, in the vicinity of Carlow,:all the potato gar dens in that locality were destroyed by sprinkling sulphuric acid on the stalks, &c. This was the method taken by persons in 1845, when it was first intro duced to the notice of the public, to run down the discovery. Sulphuric acid is a remedial agent for the cure of disease ; sulphuric acid gives an agreeable sharpness to water which is flat and tasteless, such as the Lon don water, and will render it pure and wholesome ; sulphuric acid can be effectually employed for sani tary purposes, and, if used in the huge business last summer at Palace-yard, which, if I now rightly re member, The Sun complained of as well as the other London papers, would have corrected the foul odour arising from that sewer; sulphuric acid can be em ployed with ♦arious substances, for manure; its uses and applications are innumerable. My object in now writing to The Sun, whose character for impartiality and liberality are well known at this side the Channel, is to contradict the as sertion that Mr. 0 wen, or any other person, discovered this "Irish peat charcoal." Mr. Owen may have the pecuniary benefit, but he has no right to rob me of the name of being the first who discovered the ap plication of sulphuric acid to the purposes in question.—l hove the honour to be, Sir, &c., MICHAEL CALLAGHAN. Dublin, Nov. 8, 1850. Ye?, with this explicit condecuntit'on, this Act still re msius law of the land, and will continue so to do till the English people shall learn to -understand the cur rency que , tion, and insist upon their representatives learning to understand it also.—(Cheers.) But let it be brit fly considered how the various interests of the coun try are effecied by the present system of money. It is a well-known fact that the estates of the greater part of the landowners are encumbered with annuities and mort gages. " Nine-tenths of the landowners of this united empire, Peers as well as Commoners," stys Sir James Graham, " have mortgaged a part of , their estates to improve the cultivation of the whole.' The HOUOO of Commons resolved Ullftllll3lollily DECORATION AT DRURIN-LANE TREATRE. The decoration of Drury-lane Theatre, by Mr. Frederick Gye, is exceedingly successful, offering a striking contrast to the melancholy failure in this respwct at another house for the " National Concerts." The stage is lined with white, powdered with ruses in gilt wreaths; the chandeliers are carried by wreaths of roses, and statues of the " Nine" are cleverly disposed against back-grounds of pink-shaded gauze flags. The fronts of all the boxes have cream-coloured hangings with swags of artificial flowers: the effect of the whole most summery and pleasant. The glass curtain, which we once described, has been brought back and added to; it includes now, according t , b a calculation, as nearly as may be, 90,0:)0 glass drops.—Builder. SUBSCRIPTION FOR HESSIAN OFFCERS AT MAN. , CHESTER. —The Germans in Manchester have lately set on foot, and are successfully raising a subscription for officers of the electorate of Hesse-Cassel who lately resolved to resign their commissions rather than submit to being used for the upholding of the power and decrees of a foolish prince and A detestable minister.
