MY case is a , follows—the effects of a bad cold got by standing in cold spring water, which brought on the cramp and bowel complaint. For the last four years and a half I have not been able to work for my family. I was under the first of the faculty at Pontefract, Dr. A. ; he told me it was an i nflammatio n in my bowel , ; he bled me and gave me opening medicine, which made the cramp worse. I then went into the dispensary of that place. I then got to Dr. 8., of Brigg, and Dr. R. ; they told me I had g o t the cholera morhus. D r . A., o f B r i ga, told me it was the over-growing of my gall ; he salivated tn e. I only got temporary relief. Then I got to Dr. R. of D oncaster; he told me it was a complaint in my kid °el. Then I got to Dr. 8., of Leeds ; he told me that In 7 liver was over weighted with blood. I then Went under Dr. F., of Leeds ; lie told me it was *)tog liver complaint. I then got i nto the infirmary, and ~,• n l y got temporary relief. I then got to Hull, under Dr. got b ut temporary relief; he advised me to go into Hull infirmity ; I came out worse than when I went in. tFhrona there I went to Cowthrope, under Dr. J., of Louth; a. ere. l Only get temporary relief. Then I got into Louth 4 —vens try, and Dr. 0. told me I was an impostor. The alowctors always treated me with opening medicines, which aYs brought on the cramp. I was then so bad th it if I I drank one pint of ale it brought on the bowel complaint. b W ent on this way despairing of ever getting any real enefit fro m any one, t ill I came to Louth, and met with . Prohett, your general agent for Derby. He kindly gave me big advice. I began with four pills, and increased Tata I g o t to thi r t y p ill s n i g ht an d morn i ng.

CURIOUS RlNG.—There is now in the pos session of Mr. HoisisoN of this city, watchmaker, a sin gularly engraved and antique funeral ring. It is of a very large size, and is what is called a thumb ring. A piece of glass is set in the gold, in the form of a coffin, within which appears a skeleton, accurately and very minutely engraved. Around the ring is also engraved a larger skeleton, the workmanship of which is curious ; there are likewise several other emblems of mortality, as the hour glass, &c., and the motto " Memento mot i." Within is inscribed the line, " Prepare to follow J. CRASWELL, 1728,"- York Herald, LONDON, WEDNES PAY EVE 'ING, 8 EPTEMBER 5, .1.832. DISAPPEARANCE of MR. and MRS. CI. ARE. The following is a more correct and complete ac count of this extraordinary affair than has yet been published. It appears that about 13 months ago Mr. Clare was performing at the Chester theatre, and during this time met with Miss Crewe, the only daughter of an opulent farmer, residing within a mile-and-a-half of the city, on the Wrexham-road, at the house of a friend of the latter, where the inti macy commenced between them. Mr. Clare shortly afterwards left Chester, and they corresponded with each other, which the father discovering forbade Miss Crewe to write any more letters to her lover, and to break off the connection. In consequence of this she made arrangements with her friend, at whose house the acquaintance was formed, to re ceive her letters. Mr. Clare at this time had an engagement at the Dublin theatre, and it was front Dublin he wrote to her desiring her to meet him at Liverpool on a certain day. She immediately made preparations for her departure, but they were all done secretly ; she found some difficulty, however, in getting away from her father's house unsuspected, which cawed her to be a duly after her appointment at Liverpool. Her lover, who had been anxiously awaiting her arrival, asked her what she would have done if she had come without finding him there. She replied, she did not know indeed, lie then said, " Well, you have found me, and I would sooner suffer my heart to be torn out than you should be separated from me, or come to any evil." lie then produced a marriage licence, and she immediately con sented to become his wife. They were married the next morning. This occurred just five weeks ago, since which they travelled to Dublin, which place they left on Saturday week, and came through Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and arrived in London, at the Spread Eagle Inn, Gracechurch street, on Thursday morning last They lived very gaily on the road ; and three weeks after their mar riage Mrs. Clare, by the direction of her husband, wrote to her parents, and acquainted them of her marriage, assuring them that she was very comfort ably situated. No answer was returned to this corn municatioreat which Mr. Clare seemed much surprised, and Mrs. Clare thinks he expected to have received a fortune with her, though he did not mention the subject to her. On their arrival at the Spread Eagle he observed, that place was too expensive for them to remain at, and accordingly took Mrs. Clare to the Flower Pot, in Bishopsgate-street, where they slept on Thursday night. The next morning he went out early, and hired furnished apartments at the house of Mrs. Thompson, in Cannon -street-road, telling her that his wife would be there very shortly. He then returned to Mrs. Clare, and put her into a hackney coach, with a small band-box, containing a few articles of her apparel. He took with hint a cai pet bag containing his own clothes, and told her he would meet her at Mrs. Thompson's in a quarter of an hour, but could not then go with her, as he had to meet the manager of the Pavilion Theatre. After waiting some time at Mrs. Thompson's, she began to grow very uneasy, and wondered why he did not come. Mrs. Thompson observed that busi ness might perhaps have detained her husband. At last it grew dark, and no Mr. Clare came. Mrs. Thompson then went up stairs and found Mrs. Clare in tears. She expressed her fears that her husband had left her; for, on examining her money box, she discovered that all the money they had, about 30 sovereigns, and her marriage certificate, were gone, and she was confident no one could have taken them but her husband. After some persua sion on the part of Mrs. Thompson, she went to bed at a late hour, and the next morning they went to gether to the Pavilion Theatre, but heard no tidings of any such person. On corning out of the theatre Mrs. Clare said she would leave Mrs. Thompson and walk back to Lincoln, as she knew some per sons there. Mrs. Thompson, however, would not allow her to go, and pointed out to her the danger and impossibility of her going so long a journey on foot, without friends to protect her, or money to purchase food with. She then took her before the sitting Magistrates at Lambeth -street, Messrs. Walker, Mitthias, arid Garford, who, on hearing her story, very humanely directed Mrs. 'fliompson to take care of the unfortunate lady, trod to write to her friends. This was done on Saturday evening; after which, Mrs. Clare said she was' convinced she should never be received at home again, for her fa ther disliked Mr. Clare greatly, and her mother was a very strict woman. Mrs. Thompson wished her to write a letter also to the friend whom she men tioned at whose house her courtship commenced; but she refused to give the direction. On Sunday evening she took a walk in company with a lady, and in the course of conversation, Bartholomew fair was mentioned, and she seemed anxious to be in formed the way to go to ir, but no particular notice was taken of this at the time. Yesterday morning she complained of being light-headed, and observed, that she thought is walk would do her good, and went out, observing that she would not go out of the street alone, for she was sure, if she did, she should lose herself. Mrs. Thompson was alarmed at her manner, and feared she wanted Back tea direc te d h er son, a young man, to watch her. jafeot g neli,er e_ ds t ‘stNrai, a )leeti r ei r cagti opp ortun i ty to d estroy h erse lf ; s h e there e fore direc te d fo r t sai a spi eil f dl e tet t pi v lr,, y iceee a idi r t i u d uin s ip,t; f ol r o saa m ini cedh t cy h aw e , mnei l es i n o tt, u st o s i e sn , httiool s pe h ‘a e ßitra p ht( r i,hk o t e corner of Leman -street, and asked the way to the Lincoln -road. The shopman not knowing, beckoned to Mr. Shook, a plumber, opposite, who, on hear ing her request, told her she must go to the North road, and observed, that as lie was going into White chapel, he would put her in the way. When they got into Mansell -street, they were met, apparently bti accident, by a genteelly-dressed man and woman. The latter (addressing Mrs. Clare), said, " What, are you the young woman from Chester ?" She replied in the affirmative, and, as they seemed to be acquainted, Mr. Shouls left them. Mrs. Thomp son's son, however, was still watching. They re mained talking together about 20 minutes, arid then proceeded to Whitechapel, where the woman seemed as if she was purchasing some meat; but the butcher does riot recollect any such persons. They remained about the shop some minutes, and then crossed the road, when, in consequence of the con• fusion arising from driving cattle into the slaughter houses, the young man was prevented from follow ing them so closely as he could have wished, and lie unfortunately lost sight of them among the crowd. Lea communicated her di sa p pearance to the Magistrates yesterday, who were much surprized at it. Lea has not been able to trace the lost husband, and he thinks the wife, who is a most simple creature, has fallen into the hands of some designing persons. It is quite certain, however, that she intended to leave Mrs. Thompson, a• she took away the few articles she had, concealed, as it is supposed, under her dress. Nothing was found in her box but a muslin petticoat, and an American silver coin. Mr. Clare is described as a short slim man, with light hair, and a florid complexion. n•ere friends, Mrs. Clare preferred remaining witl them to returning to her lodgings at Mrs. Thompaon's. The Magistrate s expressed their gratification at her having fallen into good hands, and asked if any answer had been received from her friends to th( letters which had been sent informing them of het sit nation. The young man replied in the negative, and added that no tidings had been received of Mr. Clare yet. COMMITTEE ON BANK OF ENGLAND CHARTER. Examination of JOHN HORSLEY PA LMER, Esq., the Go vernor of the Bank of England. From whence do the profits of the branch banks arise ?—They are derived from the amount of inte rest upon the securities invested, from that propor tion of the circulation and deposits which appertain to the branch banks. There is also a small profit derived by the Bank from agency at the branches. Can you distinguish the total circulation of the branch banks from the circulation of the Bank of England ?—Yes ; I believe it is given in the return made by order of the Committee. As that is of course returned to the Bank of Eng land, you can return it, distinguishing each bank ? Certivnly; I have found i' to be extremely difficult to return the proportion of the value of the circula tion actually appertaining to the branch banks, and can only state the aggregate notes in circulation. It does not follow, because a given amount of branch bank notes are in circulation, that that is the issue actually appertaining to the branch banks; many of those notes might have been, otherwise, London notes. Is there any large proportion of London notes circulated by the branch banks ?—Tiaere are none. Will you have any objection to furnishing the amount of outstanding notes on the latest Saturday to which the same can be made up, distinguishing each branch bank P—No. Should you have any objection to furnishing an account of the total amount of deposits at each branch bank, down to the latest period for which the same cart be made out ?—No. What do you call " agency" from which you de rive a profit P—A commission charged to those per sons who do not keep an account with the Bank, but for whom bills and money are transmitted for receipt arid payment. Although it is impossible to make an exact esti mate of the profit of any one of the branches, does not the Bank, at the end of the year, make for itself some estimate of whether a certain branch has been profitable, and to what extent it has been so ?—The mode in which the Bank has made out the branch bank accounts (upon the correctness of which much doubt exists) has been, to take the whole circula tion of the branch bank as if it actually appertained to the branch banks. Such an account can be pro duced if the Committee require it. In the accounts furnished, there is a charge in each account of rent ; is the Committee to under stand that that means an apportionment of the charge of rent for the Bank buildings ?—Yes. How much do you take as the aggregate of the whole charge ?-40,000/. What rate per cent. is charged upon the capital, at that rate ?—No calculation has been made, the amount charged has been taken upon the opinion of the architect of the Bank. Have you an account of the whole cost of erect ing the Bank ?--I have not. Does not that 40,000/. a year rent include both the interest of the capital laid out upon the build ing, and the annual expenses of repairs of the build ing ?-It was referred to Sir John Soane to say what he thought would be a fair rent for the Bank, used as it is for the present purposes. His opinion was, that 35,000/. per annum was a fair charge for rent, and 5,000/. per annum for the use of fixtures. Have you in that charge made any separate charge for repairs ?—All the outgoings, whether they be for repairs, taxes, or any other expenditure, are in cluded in the items of expenses of the Bank, in addition to the 40,000/, Is that meant to include the buildings applicable to what are the private concerns of the Batik, as well as what is dire to the public ?—Certainly. Upon what principle is the apportionment between what is due to the account of the public, and what is due to the private concerns of the Bank, adjust ed ?—lt is apportioned with reference to the space occupied in the different departments. In the account of the accounts of promissory notes and Bank post bills of the Bank of England, it is stated, for instance, that in 1831 the average amount was 18,651,940/. ; are you able to state to the Committee what portion of that amount of notes arises from the circumstance of the Bank of England having established branch banks, and w h at b e l ongs to the Bank of England in its former condition of a bank, before the establishment of those branches ? I am unable to answer the question; I can state what the branch bank circulation now is, but that is all I can state. Will you explain what is the meaning of the ac count entitled " An account of the average amount of silver coin received daily from persons other thin customers of the Bank ?"—The meaning is, that there are a number of persons, small traders iii Lon don, who receive silver in the course of their busi ness, and who require to have that silver converted into standard, that is, paper or gold; they conse quently bring it to the Bank, having no bankers of their own, as the only place of exchange; and in order to preserve the intended value of the silver coinage, the Bank consider themselves forced to re ceive it, otherwise it would become depreciated. Is the Bank compelled to receive it P—No; but :f they do not receive it, the silver coinage would become depreciated. Is that by agreement with any department of Go vernment ?—lt is riot by actual agreement, but with the concurrence on the part of the Government that .416 was necessary to preserve the real value of the i c t:%i o , hei nag e. o ave of 4,500/. th e rece i pt b eyon d en at l n t ‘svo i i is a with disposing isrpe r o e s c ßi e n i ag p ri t ok from f othfe England,psuer,ps o lu rs i surplus who ay and dr but through the Bank. Do you not also pay out silver ?—Yes, to the bankers and other customers of the Bank. Since the melting of the surplus silver twelve months ago, there has been very little accumulation. Do you then infer that the quantity of silver now coined is sufficient for the ordinary circulation of the country ?—Yes, about sufficient ; the balance is nearly preserved. There is no v no daily accumulation ?—No; what comes into the Batik through the above channel, goes out again through the customers of the Bank. In account No. 12, there is a large item, " Ex. penses attending the circulation of 2,500,000/. of branch Bank of England notes, at 11 branch banks, 28,508/. ;" how is that taken ?—The whole ex penses of the branch banks for the year ending Feb. 1832, were stated at 34,210/, which are appor tioned to the two heads of liabilities,—viz. circula tion and deposits, the former 2,600,000/. and the latter 50 0,000/. In that apportionment, 28,508/. will appertain to the former, arid 5,702/. to the latter. In account No. 15, which contains a statement of the positio n of the Batik, what is called the surplus of the Bank is put at 2,637,760/., and among their assets is an advance to the trustees appointed by the Act 3d Geo. IV., what is called the Dead Weight account, put down at 10,897,000/.; is that the sum which it has cost the Bank, or is that the value (PRICE 7D.) which they set upon that security P—That is the -urn which it has cost the Bank, taking off, from , he period of the original advance, certain sums for the redemption of the principal. Has it any reference to what in the market ou would estimate its value at P—No. Can you furnish an account of its actual value at present ?—No. The Bank have never altered the va luation of any of the securities which they might hold. It appears that the first item is Exchequer-bills; upon Exchequer-bills do you calculate any pre mium ?—No; if any Exchequer-bills have been purchased at a premium, the cost will be entered at such premium; but if they have been taken by the Bank originally from Government at par, no credit has been taken during the time of the Bank holding them, for any premium they might bear in the market. Have you ever paid any premium upon Exche quer-bills?—Yes, we have. To the Government ?—No, for those purchased in the market. Are those which you have bought in the market at a premium debited with that premium ?—Yes. Is it the cost price of bullion at which you make the valuation, or is it the market price at the time ? —The cost price. When the Government discharges Exchequer bills in your hand, they mike you no allowance for premium if there be any current in the market at that time ?—lt is so long since the Government has had any transaction with the Bank in Exchequer bills, excepting Deficiency-bills, that I can only rtfer to former periods, when no premiums were either paid or received by the Bank. Does the account of cash and bullion include the gold coin in the other return ?—Yes. If an estimate is taken of 40,000/. a year for the rent of the Bank building•, should you not take an estimate of the capital value of those buildings, in your statement of the situation of the Bank ?—lf the B ink were to render an account such as has been alluded :o, certainly they would. Do the Bank notes of 18,051,000/. include the Bank notes issued at the branches ?—Yes. Do the private deposits of 5,738,000/. include the private deposits for the branches also ?—Yes. On the other side of the account, does the amount of bills and notes discounted, 2,951,0001., include the bills and notes discounted at the branches ?—Yes. And the cash and bullion, 5,293,0001., includes the cash and bullion at the branches ?—Yes. The loans and mortgages mean mortgages of land, do they not ?—Yes. There is a sum advanced on security on various articles, what is that P—There are various items not realized which are in a state of uncertainty, such as discounted bills unpaid. The Bank are in the habit of writing off' such loss as may be esti mated to attach to discounted bills unpaid; but the remainder may be some years before it is realized; that amount, therefore, remains at the credit of the general account of assets. There is also house pro perty belonging to the Bank of the value of upwards of 100,000/. But there is nothing included for the Bank it self ?—I believe not; but the accountant can an swer this question, if necessary. What is the cause of the difference in the sum of Batik capital due to proprietors, 14,553,0001., and the permanent debt due to Government, 14,686,000/. ?—lt is a sum of 133,0001., which the Government owe more than the amount of the ca pital stock of the Bank proprietors; it arises out of some settlement of a very old date, which I cannot personally explain, but which the accountant can answer. Can you state how it comes that the annual expenses of 1830 are not far from double the annual expenses of former years ?—lt arises from a very large sum written off for the forgery of Mr. Fauntleroy. What was the amount of that ?—The total loss was about 360,0001. ; but the whole of that is not contained in the item referred to ; part was paid before. I believe about 250,0001. was written off in the year 1830. What is the cause of the considerable increase, in the year ending the 29th of February, 1832, over 1831 ?—lt arises from the heavy losses sustained from the West India and other interests in dis counting bills ; I think there was a loss of about 80,0001. Do you suppose that there is any portion of the loss by Fauntleroy in that of 1832 ?—No. What is the explanation of " branch banks' de ficit, 17,8591." in the year ending the 27th of Feb. 1830 ?—I believe it to be the balance due for the expenses of establishing the branch banks. In account No. 17, the dead-weight account is put at a profit of 451,4151. ; the actual receipt of the annuity is 585,7401. ; can you state how you apportion the difference to the reimbursement of ca pital ?—There is a regular calculation in the Bank, commencing with the period from which the annuity was taken to its termination, showing how much capital, appropriated every year, will redeem the original outlay, and which is appropriated accord ingly. - So that the Committee is to understand that upon that principle you would find yourself at the end of the term of years with your capital received back, and that the profit has been the interest received ? —Certainly. Is that capital, so received back, carried to au ac count at the Bank 2—lt merges in the general assets of the Bank for re-investment, if they think fit to re invest it. Is, then, the value put upon that item in the state of the account of the Bank, which is 10,897,0001., an outstanding capital not yet redeemed ?—lt Then the effect of it will be, at the period of the expiration of the annuity, to have the same money capital as at the commencement ?--Certainly. In No. 19, does gold and silver bullion include coin ?—Yes. Does the sum of 106,0001., the expense of issuing Bank-notes, include stamps ?—No. In account No. 20, the salaries and pensions are stated to amount, in the whole, to 243,0001.; now in the preceding account, the salaries and pensions are only stated at 218,0001. ; can you state the reason of that different.?—ln the latter case, it it. exclusive of the salaries, &c., paid to the branch banks. With respect to the 193 pensioners, are they not old clerks retired upon superannuation allowances ? —They are. In the account of net annual profits for the year 1830, it appears that the profit amounted to 930,7864, and the dividend s i n 1830 amounte d to _ _ . _ ~.. 1,161,234/.; consequently, a portion of that divi dend must have been paid out of the capital of the Bank ; how do you account for that ?—The differ ence was paid out of the surplus profit. What is the explanation of the words in the heading No, 30, of country bankers " who do not take fixed amounts for circulation ?"—There are country bankers who have never issued their own notes, but confined their issues to the notes of the Bank of England ; there are other country bankers who have applied to the Bank of England to with draw their own circulation, and to adopt the circu lation of the Bank; and in those cases the Bank have required a statement of what the average amount of their circulation has been, and to that extent the Bank has agreed to furnish Bank-notes for circulation at a reduced rate of interest, three per cent. That is what you call a fixed amount of circula• ion, to which the branch banks are in the habit 01 accommodating country bankers 7—Yes. Upon what criteria do you fix the circulation of FURTHER PARTICULARS. Yesterday the young man who followed Mrs. Clare on Monday, and lost sight of her after she joined the company of some persons in the street, came before Messrs. Malker, Matthias, and Car ford, the sitting Magistrates at Lambeth street, and stated that he had that morning discovered Mrs. Clare at the Bull Inn, Aldgate, and that the per sons whom she met with wer e respecta bl e , a nd had known her and her family at Chester; and as they the banks newly established 2—That has fotareil a matter of some difficulty, and been a suljeet of ne gotiation. When a bank was not previously • es'abltshed, it was not possible to obtain any state ment of what their circulation would be ; it must depend upon the nature of their business, and the extent to which that business would require circula tion, which could only be ascertained by experience. In those cases has any limit been fixed ?—lt has been fixed in some cases; there are two, I think : not yet fixed. Does this include any joint stock companies, or merely the country bankers 2—Both. In No. 30, there is an account of 13 country bankers who do not take fixed amounts for circula tion ; are there any bankers that do not take fixed amounts 2—There are, I believe, 11. Can you furnish an account of the country banks or hankers who do take fixed amounts for circti- , lation ?—Certainly. There are three classes of country banks that act with the branch banks. The first is, the batiks that act with the Bank of Eng land circulation, and always have done so ; the se coud are, the country banks evho have adopted the B ulk of England circulation in lieu of their own; and the third are, the country bankers who issue their own notes, but who keep their accounts with the Bank, and have been supplied ►with coin. You have furnished an account with regard to the first at d third classes, and with regard to the second description you will furnish an account ?—Yes. With reference to account No. 31, can you state to the Committee whether there is any particular circumstance which has caused so great an increase between 1830 and 1831, as it appears that it has grown from 700,0001. to 1,718,000/. in one year; is that a growth from natural causes or from any ac cidental circumstances 2-1 believe it to have arisen from the particular state of the money market in London; the great contraction which existed in London during the year 1831 rendered it difficult for those bankers who have discounted with the Bank of England to obtain the same facilities in the Lon don market which they formerly possessed ; they consequently applied for a further issue direct from the branch banks. Do you wish the Committee to infer that that is likely to continue, or that it is merely an accidental circumstance ?—I should think it is accidental, and that it is likely to last no longer than the scarcity of money continues in London. With reference to account No. 37, has any coin been transmitted from the branch bunks to the Bank of England ?—There may have been some guineas arid half-sovereigns, but to no very large amount. Are the losses of the branch banks included in the general account before the Committee ?—Yes, they are. What is the principle by which, in ordinary times, the Bank is guided in the regulation of their issues ? —The principle, with reference to the period of a full currency, and consequently a par of exchange, by which the Bank is guided in the regulation of their issues (excepting under special circumstances), is to invest and retain in securities, bearing interest, a given proportion of the deposits, and the value received for the notes in circulation, the remainder being held in coin arid bullion; the proportions which seem to be desirable, under existing circum stances, may be stated ut about two-thirds in secu rities and one-third in bullion; the circulation of the country, so far as the same may depend on the B ink, being subsequently regulated by the action of foreign exchanges. By the circulation of the country do you mean the whole :circulation of the country, arid not the country circulation 2—The whole circulation of the country. When you say that as a general principle you think it desirable to have one-third of bullion in your coffers, against your circulation, you mean to include in that circulation not only your paper out, but all deposits, whether of Government or indivi duals ?—Yes. In short, all liabilities to pay on demand ?—Yes. And you hold the liability to pay on demand arising from a deposit, to be equivalent to a note out ?—I hold it to be that sort of liability which the Bank are bound to provide for by a reserve of bul lion. Do you think the liability arising from the de posit to be more dangerous to the Bank, as sudden to calls,or less dangerous to it than the same amount out in paper ?—Less dangerous. According to your description of the principle upon which the affairs of the Bank are conducted, to not the directors of the Bank of England possess the power of regulating the whole circulation of the country ?—The Bank are very desirous not to exer cise any power, but to leave the public to use the power which they possess of returning Bank paper for bullion. Would the exchanges be corrected if the amount of currency was left wholly in the hands of the public ?—They have been principally corrected under that management. Is the Bank exposed to no inconvenience, by waiting to have the correction take place in this method, in preference to itself interfering by that power to diminish the circulation in case of a fall of exchange ?—No; provided they are adequately supplied with bullion when the exch inges are sit par, and which proportion I have stated to be about one-third. Does not the Bank, if it thinks proper, possess the power of extending the currency or at' diminish ing it, without waiting for the interference of the public ?—lt has the power. Would the Bank forcibly contract their issues by a sale of securities during an unfavourable course of ?xchange with foreign countries, and would they forcibly extend their issues by the purchase of secu rities when the exchange was favourable ?—I think not, except under special circumstances. You mean to say that the Bank. would not for cibly do that, but that it would leave it to the public to act upon the Bank, and produce the effect at which it would arrive ?—I do. It appears by the accounts before the Committee that for the last four years the amount of securities ,n the hands of the Bank varied very little; do you consider it important in the management of the Bank to keep the securities at nearly the same amount ?—As nearly as the same can be managed. What is the reason why you think it nece-sary to keep the securities at the same amount ?—Be cause the public are thereby enabled, without any forced action on the part of the Bank, to act for themselves in returning notes for bullion for expor tation, when the exchanges are unfavourable. If the exchanges continue favourable f:r any great length 'of time, then the influx of treasure will com mand an increased issue of paper, and which may derange the proportions ; but it does not follow that the Bank ought, upon that account, immediately to ~ x tend its issue upon securities. When, however, it is clearly ascertained to be desirable that part of the excess of bullion so received should be returned to the Continent, then it may be necessary for the Bank to re-assume its proportio n , b y trans f err i ng part of the bullio n into securities, still preserving the proportions of one-third and two-thirds. In times of great commercial prosperity, would not the leaving to the public the correction cf a redundant currency lead to a greater redundancy excessive speculation ?—I think not. You have stated one-third of bullion to be, in your opinion, about the proper proportion fesr the Bank to hold, i n p ro p ort i on to i ts li a bilities; is that proportion the result of your experience in the ma nagement of the Bank ?—Yes, with reference to periods of a full currency. Have you any information as to whether that tt: have proportion vtehonot tr.oe is held oo o in r other B th aks e n t r u fs t true one h e world t o —No , I Do you consider that it is desirable for the Bitik of England, under the circumstances in which it is placed, to reserve a larger deposit o f bullion that; it .vould be under ordinary circumstan ces of banking? —The Bank of England, under existing. co cum stances, appears to be called upon to retain a lar g r.c proportion of bullion than it would do if it ir.:l merely to provide for its own circulation.
