, aka. EXCHANGE WITH IRELAND. EXTRACT FROM MINUTES OF EVIDENCE Taken before the Committee appointed to inquire into the State of Ireland, as to its Circulating Paper • its Specieand C u rrent Coin; ,and the I' xchange between that part of the United Kingdom and Great Britain The Right lion. 10 HN•FOSTE R, in the Chair. (Coltinu4ji.:dm our Paper of Yesterday.) WALTER 13pRROWES, ESQ. Merchant, at Austin Friars, London, called in and exa mined. What is your opinion of the cause of the high Exchange between London and Dublin ?—The with. drawing the common medium of circulation, by which I mean guineas. Is there any other cause ; the depreciation of Bank of Ireland Notes, which has been the only medium that has been substituted. Does that depreciation arise from withdrawing the guineas ?—I think it does. Does it arise from any other cause ?—I think the local situation of Ireland contributes towards it. What do. you mean by local ?—I mean her not r4tiling a part of Great Britain ; not having the same means of defence. Do you mean her situation as being exposed to in_ ternal Rebellion ?—Certainly. Do you think a disadvantageous balance of trade can be the cause of depreciation ?—I think not. you believe an axcessive issue of Bank of Ire land Notes could be the cause ?—I do not. Do you believe there is an excessive issue of those Notes ?—I do not. Is there any excessive issue of Private Bankers Notes its Ireland ?—I am nor well acquainted with the private issue of Bankers Notes in Ireland. Can you term any opinion ?—As far as I have heard, there is an excess. _ _ . Do you mean Country Bankers or Dublin Bankers, or b.. th ?—Country Bankers. What, in your opinion, would be a remedy to re move the causes you have sia:eci for the high ex change ?—I think restoring a common medium of circulation. .11) you think that gold, the common medium of circulati )n, could he restored now, with safety, to Ireland I should think not ; I mean that the re striction on the Bank of Ireland could not at present be token off with safety. What other cornm,,n circulating medium do you ,propose ? The only one I think of, would be, the notes of the Bank of England and Ireland consoli. dated. Da you mean by consolidating the Banks, that they should issue, when on Bank, separate notes for Ireland, and separate notes for England, or that they should issue notes in one firm for the wh ,, le empire ? —I mean there should be a B ,nk in each Country, with power to issue notes as now, in the currency of each Country, but exchangeable in the other at 8 t.tliird per cent. at all times. As you mention two separate Bankc,' what is your idea of consolidation ?—That the Bank of Ireland should be a branch of the united Bank. Have you reasons you would wish to offer to shew the uses, and the pradicability of this proposed con solidation ?—The uses I conceive to be, reforrning the currency of paper of Ireland, in case it should not be thought right to make tic notes so issued by each Bank to be changeable at the other at par ; but if you wish to extend the use, and do away the Ex change, then the making them receivable at the other Bank would effed this objel. I think the Currency and Exchange two distind things, and that the depreciation of the one, and the high rate of the other, may have distinct remedies. State those remedies.—l think the Bank in Ire land, so constituted, issuing Notes in Ireland, not exchangeable in London, would have the effect of curing their depreciation in Ireland,. by adding to their security ; ars.? the exchange in that case would in a great degree have been got rid of, by the addi tional security given to the notes. In that case when the notes were •not exchange_ able in England, what would be the common me dium of paying an unfavourable balance of debt ? There would be no common medium that I know of; you stop short of making it a common medium, inasmuch as you prevent the exchange of the notes at either Bank indifferently, at 8 one-third per cent. In that case what common medium would you propose I—l know of none ; I think it pettedly hopeless, unless the restridion was taken off both Banks. Such a limited consolidation then would not be a perfed remedy ?—lt would not, although it would tend to remove the whole of the depreciation, and the whole of the rise of exchange, except such part as arises out of a balance oldebt. Provided Bills could be issued by either, or by a Consolidated Bank, or a Committee of both Banks, payable in either country, with the limited capital and credit the Irish Rank possesses in case of an In vasion of England, and a consequent run on the B an ' R uf j. f :,eland, might not both Banks and each materially ?—I have no idea country suffer - there could be any ins ,,rerial inconvenience, so long as restraints should con,'inue against, the issue of nor ally s ubordination except what the Proprietors might direa. Do you know the opinion of the Direflors or Pro. prietors of each Bank, as to the eligibility of this plan ?—I know it would be for the interest of the Bank of Ireland Proprietors to accede to it ; there.. f re I conclude their concurrence could easily b e got. I have heard different opinions entertained by the Bank of England Direaors on this subjea, some approving of the plan, others disapproving of it. I believe the Bank of Ireland Direaors are against it. I have no idea of the opinion of the Bank of England Proprietors on the subjeEt. Do you think it would have any effea disadvan. tageous to Great Britain ?—I do not. Has this proposal been submitted to a Court of Divaors of the Banks of either kingdom never heard that it had. Have you observed that the periods of the greatest alarm in Ireland have been those when the depreci ation was the greatest, and the exchange the most unfavourable ?—I suppose the question alludes to the Invasion in 1796. and the Rebellion in 1798. In 1796, the Bank of Ireland were paying in specie, therefore there could not be any depreciation; and the exchange was from the same cause, as well as the balance of debt being greatly in favour of Ire land, kept under par. In 1798, the Loan raised in England of 1,500,0001. for the Service of Ireland, was remitted by the Administration in Bank of Eng land Notes, which, meeting a currency not depre ciated, and an exchange highly favourable, were negociatcd at various rates of exchange, not exceed ing 6 per cent. by ‘s Lich means the Paper of the Bank of Ireland was kept on a par with specie at the time the Rebellion was at its greatest height, and close to Dublin ; and these two moments of the greatest alarm to Dublin, therefore passed without producing any efreet either upon her Currency or Exchange. Do you conceive the period immediately pre ceding the Rebellion to be a period of alarm ?--I do. Do you conceive, that if it had not been for the measure adopted by Government alluded to, that the Exchange would have been more unfavourable to Ireland in 1798, than at the present time ?—I do . think that for a part of that period it would. Do you believe that the excess you have described in the Private Bank Paper of Ireland, could have taken place, if there had been no increased issue of the National Bank Notes ?—I do not think that the issue of National Bank Notes assists in any manner the extension of the issue of private Bankers' notes : think that the means of Countries, like individuals, are limited, and if Ireland possesses a medium of one kind equal to her property, which is usually represented by a medium, that it is impossible for her to hold another ; therefore, if possessed of Bank of Ireland notes equal to this object, that there is no room for the issue of private Bankers' notes : and I do not think that the issue of paper in Ireland is too great, because I think the property of Ireland buried under ground, exceeds what is circulating in the shape of paper, and that in fat she has two capitals. - Do you not think that a medium may represent more at one time than another do, inasmuch as it is subjeft to depreciation. Do you believe that 6 per cent, is the legal inte. rest of Ireland ?—Yes. Do you believe that the Bank of Ireland is under the necessity of discounting ats per cent ?—By their Charter they are precluded from taking a higher rate. Have you heard that there are distina Treasuries in Ireland for the Board of Ordnance and Barrack Board; and that die payment of the Army and Yeo. manry are intrusted to the Military Agents ?—I never heard there were Treasuries attached to those Boards, but I have heard there are Agents for the payment of the Army and Yeomanry. Can you form any opinion of the 'issues of a cir culating medium necessary for the payment of those establishments ?—I cannot. Do you conceive it to be a million ?—I do. Do you think if Dublin private Bankers have ac quired sufficient influence with the respeaive agents of such military bodies, and the treasuries of such establishments, to pay in their private paper all claims upon such establishments, and to distribute through the kingdom all pay to such military bo dies, that it is weakness of credit in the National Bank, and not the superior activity of such Banks which pushes private paper into circulation ?—I think the credit of the Bank of Ireland ought to stand higher than the credit of any individual Bank, and that its Notes should be preferred in all payments, and there. fore I think these Bodies should be paid in the Na. tional Paper. • Do you conceive ths. upon the whole, the paper currency of Ireland bears a greater proportion to its wealth and trade than it did for some years previous to the Bank restrilion ?—Making an al lowance for the quantity of gold withdrawn from circulation, from being locked up, and otherways, I do not think it bears a greater proportion. Have you any mearr. of knowing, with any de gree of certainty, that the circulating medium of Ireland is not excessive ?—I have no certain means; but when I recollea the quantity of guineas which went to that country, and have no knowledge of any large proportion of them coming back, I do not think the paper exceeds in amount the ordinary proportion which paper bore to gold. Do you conceive that the augmentation of the quantity of the circulating' medium of a country tends to produce a depreciation of it ?—I think it does, when pushed beyond the means of the country. Do you not conceive that an extremely had state of the exchange is an Indica.ion of such deprecia tion ?—I think it is an indication of it, though not a certain proof of it. Do you conceive that the depreciation of the Irish Paper;itrises from a want of:confidence in it ?—I do. Po lots mean by want of confidence, a doubt tkhetber the Banks which issue it are ultimately solvent do not - ; I am perfthly satisfied that nubody questions the .solvency of the B an k o f Ire land, or the judicious administration of it ; and that it arises solely from political cau ses , extern al as well as internal. specie. c : the consolidation you Explain the praa'icabilitv propose.—l have had very 111 , ;:, 1 e opportunity of thinking on this part of the subje not knowing the constitutions of the Banks, but 106;:ing at them as two corporations with trusts and powerN . for pub lic and private purposes; and I see no reason <'lly a comolidation or partnership should not be form between them, consistent with the general purposes for which they were constituted, and that the Stock of the Back of Ireland Proprietors might be trans ferred to their credit in the Bank of England, so . as to become Birk of England Stock ; and that the Bank of Eogland• sLould adopt all .their enkage tnents, and get possession of all their assets ; the business of Ireland would then he carried on by Diteaors, eleded by the Proprietors of the Joint_ stmt. Which set of Direaors would you propose to he suiv:rdinate to the other ?—I would not prefer either, Do you mean by, want of confilenoe, a doubt On Thursday, the 3 , -1 inst. was caught at Cockin in Furness, a grarrus, which was discovered by Mr. J. CLARK, of that place, when he rode into the water, and drove it on shore. It measured 8 yards and z feet in length ; its tail was 8 feet broad, its snout or nose z feet long ; was thought to Weigh about 4 tons, and computed to yield 3 hog‘heads ut od. It was sold by Mr. CLARIf. to Mr. BUTCHER,, of Ulverstson, fur four gulnels. -Numbers , of sptaators crowded to see thi, tAtraordinary fiih, as it is not remember ed such an one lias been Lae!, in that part before.• •. 1-squal T ); LON1)02•:: Printed by LUCIIANAN IWNIILLAN; (ofliow-Street, Covent. -kr:tilers Szairps, (or South Mclton-screet-, G At the SUN.OFDICS, No . 1z; Strand ; where Advertisements, p ti olfshed by w IL ,,,„ m driurs for the raper, —ellert for the Editer, prt-paid), must De aicireloc ( " Garden); and H 000ri thee 7 o t t 4 h i o n t s . t t . h a a t t IVO' Yesterday, at C ' . o d i a ' u ti g i l e lte la r t o e t ß .

I mean a doubt whether the Bank may not suffer materially from the effeas of Invasion, or Rebellion, in its property. Do you conceive that if the Bank of England were to guarantee the credit of -the Paper of the Bank of Ireland, the value of the Bank of Ireland Paper would be raised ?—I think it would, during a war between Great Britain and France. Do you think that if the Government were to guarantee the credit of it, the value of the Bank of Ireland Paper would he raised ?—I think it would ; by Government I mean Parliament. Do you not conceive that if the Bank of Ireland were proprietors of a large sum in the British Funds, the value of the Bank of Ireland Paper would be equally raised ?—I do not think it would. Would not the Government, in that case, be as much bound to sustain the credit of the Bank of Ireland, to the extent of such property in the British Funds, as they would be found in the other case to sustain the general credit of the Bank ?—I believe, as far as the property in the British Funds went, it would aft as a partial guarantee, but it would have no further effet. Might not then a considerable enlargement of the capital of the Bank of Ireland, and the investment of such augmented capital in the British Funds, conduce, according to the principles you have stated, to raise the value of the Paper of the Bank of Ire land ?—I think it would aft as a larger but limited guarantee, and have no effeft whatever on the pro perty in Ireland not covered by such guarantee. Would not all the debts of the Bank of Ireland necessarily be rendered more secure of payment, in every possible event, by means of such property in the Funds, or, in other words, be guaranteed by such property in the Funds ?—I think that the engage ments of the Bank of Ireland, so far as they were covered by this investment in the British Funds, would be rendered more secure, but no further. Do you think the Irish Funds in which the Bri tish capital is invested, ultimately less secure than the British Funds ?—I always conceived that the Irish Funds were adopted by this country by the Union, and stood on equal terms. How then do you state that an investiture of capital in the British Funds would confer any greater security than that in the Irish Funds I—lt would not convey any greater security. Whether, in speaking to the Parliament being bound to maintain the property of the Bank of Ire land in the British Funds, you do not consider it equally bound to maintain any property the Bank of Ireland may have in the Irish Funds do. (To Le continued, DUBLIN, MAY 15. SUNDAY night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, three persons, one named Browne, the other his friend, genteel looking men, and a grena dier of the Roscommon Militia, were drowned in the Grand Canal, in a fracas, it is supposed, with some boatmen of the turf-vessels near the first bridge, at the above-mentioned place. The circumstances are related as follow : Two of these persons were pass ing that way at night, and were attacked by the boatmen, but upon what account is not certainly . known ; consequence of which, they applied for assistance to the Barrack in St. jarnes's-street, pro. bably to take some of the ruffians into custody.— The Serjeant of the guard sent two of the Roscom mon Militia with them to the place, and either in attempting to go on board were thrown off the plank, or when on board, were thrown over, which of the circumstances took place is not exaEtly yet known, but three were drowned, and one of the soldiers escaped. The alarm having reached the watch house, the peace-officers, and a party imme diately repaired to the spot, and took into custody ta p boatmen they found belonging to the vessels at that place. The bodies were then searched for, but at that hour could not be found. In the morning they were taken up, and Captain Wilson, the chief peace-officer, who behaved with very laudable aai vity on the occasion, caused an inquest to be held upon them, and brought the boatmen prisoners to the Divisional Magistrate, Alderman Rose's office. Last week the following singular and daring rob bery was attempted by the dri ver of a return post chaise, in die parish of Ash, next Sandwich : Mr. Marsh, plumber and glazier at that place, had re ceived a cask of lead, weighing 3oolbs. which lay at his shop door, judging the weight would ensure its safety ;at shutting shop in the evening, he observed a post-chaise standing in the road,the driver of which came up to him and asked if he was a leisure man, offering a pint of beer if he would as. sist him up with a cask, which he said had by its weight forced open the chaise door, and fell under the carriage. Mr. Marsh complied' with his re quest, and to his surprize, he found it was his own cask he was called upon to assist in stealing ; he then asked the driver what Le was going to do with it ? he replied, that he wanted to return it into the chaise, from which it had fell out. Mr. Marsh then charged him with being a thief, and endea vonced to secure him, which he resisted, and im mediately leaped on the bar of the chaise, and ap. plying his whip to the horses, gelloped off leaving this unwieldy cask in possession of its owner. The darkness of the evening favoured his escape before asistance was procured. I A 7 17 I. 111 SCE MI DDLETIAM, WEDNISDA Y, MAY 16. Its' v, Swezpstakes of togs. each, for three years old Two macs.
