If it be a question " whether the goveina out of India should longer be tn trusted tea company of merchants," I shall submit whether a joint stock bank, the Rank of England, prest , ed over by a body of mer chants, who have their own private interests to influence their opi nions, should linger possess the power to raise or depress the value of the whole property of the kingdom, and decide when assistance shall be given or withheld from the public —or it may be, their rivals or their riends. The c ipit,4l of the Bank of England being mainly invested in fixed securiti s is thus made totally inadequate to the fn- creased demands of an ever-extending commerce.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con s 3ouences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Mon hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of dis. ass known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are irincipics of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of incemshierate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and liowthe evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Ber dates are Jamaica, Oct. 26 ; Deme rara, 25 ; Trinidad, 25 ; Et. Thomas's, 31. She has brought 72 passengers. Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of 777,966 dols., of which 128,791 dols. consists of silver, 'and 649,175 dols. in gold. Her Majesty's ship Brunswick was at Cclon, the Tartar and Arachne were at St. Domingo, the Imaum was at Jamaica. On the 28th ult. the mail steamer Trent commu nicated with the Basilisk, from St. Domingo to Jamaica ; she reports the Tartar at St. Domingo on the 27th. Fighting was going on with only five days' provisions in the town. The Devastation sailed on the 17th from Bermuda for Halifax. The Jassem left Bermuda on the 18th ult. for Jamaica; the Terror, floating battery, was at Bermuda on the 18th. At Jamaica the weather, which had been very wet, has changed. A frightful catastrophe had happened in Kingston ; the railway had boeu much damaged in consequence. There had been much sickness of a serious typo iu Jamaica. Yel low fever has again appeared at Port Royal. The Jamaica mining reports aro encouraging, business is active, principally in American provisions and breadstuff:4, owing partly to the monetary crisis in the United States. Sugar is steady. • Pimento is not active, though firm. Col ft:e of the new crop has . not yet been pl -ced in market. Corn is almost sold out, and dyewoods remains at last quotations. A great scheme for wholesale robbery in South and Central America has just been discovered ; the person at the head of it is in New York. THE PACIFIC. By the arrival at Southampton of the mail steamer Atrato we have received, files of Panama papers to the I;,'Ath Gctober. The steamship Val paraiso, with the semi-monthly Pacific mail, ar rived iu Panama bay on the morning of the 23d. From the Republicof Chili we have news to Sept. 30. A new Cabinet had at length been formed, the President having yielded to pubiic opinion. The new Cabinet consisted of Don Jeronimo Urmene ta, Mi nister of the Interior ; Don 7- alvador Sanfuentes, Justice ; Don Francisco de Boria Solar, Finance ; General Don Manuel Garcia, War. This combina- tion was considered a moderately liberal one, and had given general satisfaction to the public. The political excitement that formerly existed had all subsided, and everything promised to go along quietly. An amnesty decree was issued on the 18th, the anniversary of Chilian independence. Dates from Bolivia are to the 28th. The revolu tionary movements in this Republic had assumed a more general character, and Dr. Linares had as sumed the title of Provisional President, and taken the field against the Constitutional President, Gen. Cordova. The cities of La Paz, Oruro, Cocabamba, and Chuquisaca had pronotinced agains tLe govern ment. General Cordova was marching against the first-named city with 1,500 veterans. LI Paz had a garrison of only 1,500 recruits. Linares was in Cocabamba, end he bad issued a decree declaring all Bolivians traitors who did not join him. Cor dova hail issued a counter decree condemning all persons to death who joined Linares, so that be tween them both the poor citizens wore in rather a difficult position, In La Paz tit.) residence of the American Minister had been broken into, and the deposed authorities, who had sought refuge under the United States flag of Mr. Dan a, wtra taken therefrom. In Cobija the Prefect nominated by Linares had not been received. Cordova, it was said, was badly off for troops, having no cavalry or artillery, and it was probable that he would be obliged to yield to a movement which appeared to be general, and leave the republic. . _ _ - Dates from Callao are to the 11th Oct. The revo lutionary parties in the south continued in the same state as during the last four months. Ono of the accomplices of the assassination of Mr. Sullivan, named Jose Felez Diaz or Virola, had given isfor illation against the murderer, who was said to be a Frenchma❑ named Serri. The authorities had not yet arrested Serri, nor was the cause which led to the c immission of the murder made public. THE LSTEMUS OF SUEZ. ALEXANDRIA, u4t ra lhu M Company'sail N Nov. 6 . The Europ ean an d A steamer Australasia reached Alexandria on the i 25th ult. ; but, ow i ng t o the delay n the arrival of the Emeu from M e lb ourne , the small yester dayu afternoon, when they w ere landed and sent detachment of achment of troops remained o n b oar d the boat n for ward by rail. This is the first b a t c h o f men that has gone through in uniform. M r . Wetton pre ceded them on the way, and every arrangement was made to insure their safe arrival at Suez with comfort and despatch. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pottinger arrived frtm Bombay on the 2d inst. 'considerable anxiety was produced by a report to the effect that on her way up the Red Sea a large screw steamer had been seen on shore. As the Emeu was stated to have left Aden before the Pot tinger, there was every reason to fear that a serious l i accident had befallen the Austi alian steamer. The anxiety that was felt on her account was, however, happily relieved by the tidings of her arrival at Suez on the evening of the 3d inst., with 58 passen gers, and spk die to the value of 524,7061. During the night of the 2d Oct. she had struck on a coral reef, close to the spot on the Nubian cost noted on the maps under the name of Duberdubb, about 80 miles north of Luakin, and almost directly opposite Djedda. In this perilous position she lay for 54 hours, but at length she was got off and was run upon the beach, which fortunately consisted of soft sand. Niue days now elapsed before she was again floated off. This was, however, at length effected, a portion of her coal being sacrificed and the forepart of the ship lightened by every possible means. The leaks were well stuffed, and with her pumps constantly at work she reached Suez in safety after a passage of three days. The Marseilles portion of her mail has, however, not come for ward. The Admiralty agent, regarding as hopeless that the steamer could proceed on her voyage, had transferred the boxes to a native boat, in which with the purser and two of the passengers he made for Djedda. 1201(110steaming r from commi t. cat ed. with her, the latter turned back in search o C to al S c u u e tt z a t , h : e th E d, m h e a u v f i e n l g l in with the . the mail agent. On arrival at Djedda she found that he had left for Suez on the previous day. She followed 70 miles in his course, but finding that it lay among shoals and reefs, she was compelled to abandon the attempt and to continue on her way to Suez, where she arrived }•esterdav morning. Tne Eineu has suffered so severely that it is very doubtful whether she can return to Australia with out being docked and undergoing thorough repairs, for which piirpose it will probably be found that sh-3 must be sent to Bombay. The passengers speak very highly of the cool judgment and skill displayed by Capt. Small in the critical position in which the ship lay. as well as in extracting her and bringjng her to her destination. The troops per Australasia will proceed to India by the Hiudostan, which sails to-morrow evening. The Pottinger was to leave for Bombay this after noon. The steamer Dutchman, with the second batch of Royal Engineers for India, arrived here on the 31st ult., and the men went forward on the follow ing day, temporary accommodation having been prepared for them at Suez on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's storeship Zenobia. Telegraphic communication between Alexandria and Suez has been nearly interrupted during the last few days. The serious inconvenience which this irregularity has caused during the present heavy transit can readily be conceived. It is at tributed to the severe and almost continuous rain which we have had during the last three days ; but the length of time that is often consumed in the transmission of messages has on former occasions already given just reason for complaint, and, whe ther or not the more immediate cause lies, as has been alleged, in the weakness of the batteries, it is hoped that a remedy will at once be sought and ap plied to meet the evil. The Viceroy left Alexandria some days ago, and is at present in the Delta. The sum collected at Alexandria for the Indian Relief Fund amounts to about 4001., which receives the addition of nearly 2001. subscribed by the British residents in Cairo. The corn -market has been rather more plentifully supplied fro m t h e i nterior during the past fortnight, but transactions in general, and more especially monetary those of a spe cu l at i ve nature have been much r e b in av Europe. declined, Prices ofadescrip tions onetoafr produce affairsstricted b y the intelligence of the criticle stat e o f and the closing rat es for Saida wh ea t are quoted at from about 30e.

Vessels for London have, as before, been much de tained from cargoes being kept back by long-continued floods. All are anxious to be off, and there is great com petition for the little freight that offers. It is almost im possible to name with certainty a day for the sailing of any vessel, but we will state what we can gather of tbeir progress. The Electra, a very fine American-built clipper ship, Dutch owned, has on board about 1,250 bales wool, 50 tons tallow, 150 tons cocoanut oil, 3,000 hides, and sun dries. We expect her to sail in 10 days or a fortnight. A good many passengers will take advantage of her excellent accommodation to proceed by her, and she offers a good chance for conveyance of specie and for dupl. cater of letters by this mail. The Centurion has a large quantity of wool, tallow, and hides on board, and does not require much to fill sip. We expect her to sail in all this month. Many of her cabins are engaged. Maid of Judah—This favourite ship is yell advanced in loading, large shipments of wool, tallow, hides, and gum having been made by her. She will leave about the same time as the Centurion. Most of her cabins are engaged. The Speedy has alt her dead-weight on board, and a good deal of wood. Being a large ship, we do not Wiz ard naming any day of sailing in this uncertain season. The Oliver Crom'well aid Wooloomooloo are both dig. charging, and laid on the berth. The former has the bell of her cargo out. The above comprises all the ships in port on the berth for London. We may mention, as advertised to lead, Light of the Age,VimurA La Hogue, Catherine Adam son, Damascus, Granite City, all fine passenger ships. THE PANIC IN SCOTLAND„ (From the Scotsman.) GLASGOW.—There was not the least semblance of a run upon any of the Glasgow banks yester day. Though one or two further failures of commercial houses were reported during the day, the brighten ing prospects in regard to the two suspended banks have imparted such a feeling of cheerfulness to commercial affairs, that one or two failures of pri vate firms do not affect the get oral equanimity. The terms of the advertisement issued by the City of Glasgow Bank imply that the reopening is con ditional on depositors agreeing to allow their de posits to remain with the bank for some time, at four months' notice. But this condition is one which a number of the large depositors have already accepted, and which, there can be no doubt, the others will also agree to, seeing that the directors expect to be able to give depositors the usual facili t,es of a current account. With respect to the Western Bank it transpired, in course of Thursday evening, that nearly 600,0004 had been! placed at the disposal of the directors for the purpose of resuming business, and that a hopeful buoyant feel ing had been manifested at the meeting of directors thiit afternoon. It was even current in Glas gow yesterday that the Western might be expected to resume business so early as next week. It is a consummation devoutly to be wished. The serious consequences of the stop page are becoming daily more apparent. One of the shareholders, whose honour and integrity as a merchant are proverbial, and who is prominent in every benevolent enterprise, was stated yesterday, on good authority, to have suc cumbed to the pressure ; and others, not directly involved by the stoppage of the Western, have b -en brought into their present difficulties by their im minent connexion with those who are.

Pi h NIC IN GLASGOW. On and lar the ci INCID ENTS On Tuesday, during " run" on the City of Glas gow Bank, a clerk in the the employ of Mr. Howard Paul (who is giving an entertainment at the Prince's Theatre) emereeemergedf from that establishment with two hundred i soreregns done up in a handkerchief, for the purp ose of obtaining Bank of England notes. Being unable to ocure the notes, the clerk was returning thebullion to its owner, when, in West Nile Street, near l dane gave way, and a golden stream rolled in every di • rection to the immense amusement of the bystand ers, especially the juveniles, who joined in the capture o f th e c( to witness. At ins with a zeal quite astonishing the end of the search, the amount was found to be five pounds lets than the original sum, which at in the mud of Wea p t resent may be lying buried Nile-street, or, still more pro bable, was surreptitiouslyef appropriated by some of the less scrup u l ous the industrious urchins afore said. One gentleman, during the heat of the ex citement, we n t into the l Union Bank and present e d a cheque fo r 5001 . T wished gold ?

The teller, on discovering the bag, laid it aside for the time. Later in the day, gentleman returned to the bank in great distress,stating he had lost the bag and with the 1,0001, could not tell whether h e bad dropped it in the crowd , or left it behind him c on leaving the bank. Oh ' you left it on the cou nter," said the teller • quietly, "and if you call to-morrow you will getyour thousand pounds." The streets during the evening presented evidence that the run on the banks had been followed by a ran into the whisky shops. The thieves, who arc ever on the watch, of course have not let the oppor tunity slip without turning it to account. P AI SLEY. —On Thursday~,the run on the banks was entirely ceased, and there The state of an entire absence of the recent extraordi na ry excitement. o f commercial affairs here, however, is anything but satisfactory.

On Wednesday, notice by a number of the prin c ip al inhabitants, a s, expt easing perfect confidence in the different banks, was posted over the town. On Thursda y the panic was almost at an end. The ma na g ers of t he branch banks here have, with the excep tion of the Clydesdale Bank, read the order for r e ceivin g w • ctern and City Bank notes less liberally than it is con strued at Glasgow. There they are received in all transactions, deposits and otherwise ; but here they were on Thur sday only received in tit , ' payments for bills, __C. Among the h undred anec dotes of the public ar e the foll owing , —A man ran into the shop of a spirit merchant in Town a Tues day in an agitated st ate, and proffered S i.

A well-dressed woman rushed into the Union B an k • in a frantic condition, and in her struggles to get to the counter, lost a silk umbrella, which NMI trampled upon "d broken, and got her silk gown loin in several places. When she reached the goal for which she had striven so expensively, she tendered for gold a bundle of Western bank notes, which were of course refused." AYR.—The panic extended to the branches in Ayr towards the close of last week. In the blind demand for gold, the security of the proprietary list of each of the banks seemed to be entirely overlooked by the less intelligent holders of notes and pap-r— -. whether the latter applied to deposits of ordinary banks, or the smaller investments in saving's banks. The stoppoge of the Western Bank increased the excitement, and the run was transferred on Monday evening, Tuesday, and Wednesday to the Union Bank ; Tuesday evening and Wednesday to the City of Glasgow Bank, which then eloQed : and Wednesday partially to the Clydesdale Bank, but chiefly if not altogetbe on its Savings' Bank deposits. These banks were all able to me et their demands even for gold. The undue alarm seemed so be passing off on Wednesday, and an endeavour was made to restore the confidence of depo iitors by a public meeting in the Assembly Rooms, at which a resolution was adopted expressive of confidence in the banking establishments. GALASHIELS. —The Border Advertiser says : "We have had our share of the blast. Ou Wed nesday forenoon an uneasy feeling was prevalent regarding the security of the City of Glasgow, caused entirely by the pressure at the head offices in Glas gow and Edinburgh the preceding day. This soon developed into an ac - ,ual panic, and the bank was all forenoon besieged by anxious depositors eager to transfer their atiounts to places of more fancied security. A great majority of thos:t who made ap plication were depositors in the Saviugs' Bank de partment, holding sums of only comparatively small amount. In this case, as also in that of the West ern, the run was principally caused by small trades men, shopkeepers, artisans, and couutiy people ; none of our leading merchants, manufacturers, or men of business - evincing the least distrust - in any of the banks. On Thursday a run was now made on the National, and to some extent al o on the Edinburgh and Glasgow, which last had hitherto escaped with little pressure. The demand at the National was most promptly met. The run con tinued till the evening, when the arrival of the favourable news from Edinburgh getting abroad seemed to have an effect in restoring confidence, and for half-an-hour before closing the bank the pressure had ceased, and there was almost no money withdrawn. A number of the shopkeepers in town, and some of them of no mean sanding, had the imprudence, not to say the audacity, during the panic, to refuse the notes of the solvent banks. This conduct is most unbusiness like and reprehensible, as well as unfeeling, and derogatory to the judgment of any party moving in a respectable mercantile sphere. That instances of this kind did occur is beyond doubt. There is n• lae to prevent this extraordinary proceeding, but the laws of honour and commercial confidence ought to be suffic.ent protection against it." THE MONETARY CRISIS. (From the Daily News.) The advocates of the Bank Ckarter Act are in grievous perplexity and alarm—and no wonder, after the sample which we have just had of the effects of its much lauded mode of action. Even the Times, despite the most uncharacteristic comis tency which: it has hitherto shown upon this great currency question, now hesitates how to shape its course. In one column it declares that the Bank Charter Act is "abrogated" —that it " must be looked upon as destroyed ;" whilst in another it says, "As to the retention of the present law we have not the slightest doubt." And our contempo rary then labours hard to show that the law, despite its repeated suspension, may really still work very well, if the nation will but be content, and go about its business quietly. In the name of comm on sense, we ask, wherein is the advantage of retaining a law which upon each occasion of trial has been found signally wanting f At each period of real pressure yet encountered the restriction whichforms the vital principle of the Act has been found to operate as an immense provocative to panic ; while, to prevent a completefinancialconvulsion, government havebaen compelled to step forward themselves in the sight of the world as violators of the law. Why, even con siderations of public morality forbid the prolonga tion of the present mast anomalous system. It has always been a favourite assertion of its partisans that in the panic of 1847 the turning point had been reached, and that the process of recovery bad commenced, before the Act was susp e nd e d. The assertion is totally unfounded, as every unbiassed person whose experience and observation date ten years back well knows. In 1857, however, the Act has at least had a fair trial, for the nation bore with it patiently until the rate of discount was raised 2 per cent. above the highest point reached in 1847. All through the recent crisis, the Times—like a sur geon encouraging his patient under a painful ope ration, has kept patting the country on the back, assurine it that it could really bear the trial very well and that its fortitude was the admiration of all Europe, and pointing to the certainty of re lief if it would odly let the Currency Law operate to its legitimate results. Down with a crash came the Borough of Liverpool, the great houses of Dennis toun and Co., Naylor, Vickers, and. Co., and a score of other firms ' most of which would hav e been assisted through their difficulties—at least to a liquidation—bad not all holders of money been afraid that the operation of the law would ere long almost entirely cut off the prospect of further sup plies. "Never mind," cried the Times, "all this is very well and proper ; our currency system works bravely, and we are a pattern to the world." Even as the monitor of Printing -house-square was speak ing the Western Bank of Scotland stopped ; the City of Glasgow Bank followed suit ; a run com menced on the other Scotch banks, leading to the withdrawal from the Bank of England of about a million and a quarter in gold in two days ; Messre. Sanderson, Sandeman, and Co. suspended, with some three millions of liabilities ; and through the length and breadth of the land commerce discovered tbat money was literally not to be had. It was not a question of rates at all : on the morniur , of the day on which the Bank Act was suspended money was really not to be obtained anywhere except at the Bank of England itself, whose entire resources available for discount business are understood to have been reduced to considerably less than a mil lion. Yet up to that very morning, so strong was our contemporary's abiding faith in the efficacy of its nostrum, that he continued to descant monoto nously upon its virtue, and to warn the country solemnly that it would be degraded in the sight of the world if it dared to demand one five single five pound notes beyond the sum of fourteen millions and odd arbitrarily fixed by the Act of 1844. And so well was the great journal kept in coun tenance by the other organs of the Jones-Loyd party that an evening print—which, by-the-bye, is reputed to receive occasionally ministe rial inspiration—was inadvertently betrayed into the ludicrous error of publishing on the Thursday evening in ono column an eloquent denunciation of the evils to be expected from an increased issue of paper, and in a parallel column the Government letter authorising the Bank to extend its issues ad libitum. Now, we have really no idea of regarding so grave a question from a narrow or partisan point of view ; but it is requisite that these facts should be brought prominently forward, for the Times has already half ventured upon an insinua tion that at the moment when the Act is suspended, the pressure "seems about to cease." Is cea-es ; but why ? Simply because the public now know that restriction which forms the gist of the Act is abolished, and' that the supply of money obtain able from the Bank on "approved securities" is no longer confined to half a million or a million, but is, if requisite. unlimited. And most assuredly the turning point in the present crisis was not reached until the Act was abrogated." We have no hesitation in declaring that its maintenance for a single week longer would have led to the suspen sion of nearly every monied establishment and de posit-receiving bank in the kingdom. Chaos would have come again in the financial world. It is really too absurd in the Times to hold the country up to the scorn of the world for so simple a matter as suspending the provisions of a law, the utility of which has long been more than ques• tioned by a large, and by not the least intelligent, section of the community. From the language used in this matter foreigners might almost imagine that the Bank had suspended each payments, or that the nation had entered upon some course of still more flagrant dishonesty. The suspension of the Bank Act involves simply a return to a natural state of things, and the abrogation of an artificial restriction. rhy was the maximum note circula tion, unrepresented by bullion, arbitrarily fixed at fourteen millions ? We know not that the suppor ters of the Act have a better answer than this—that it was so fixed because that amount of circulation was indispensible. There was, consequently, no principle, but merely a consideration of expediency or prudence, involved inthe arbitrary selection of that s um. Surely, when we find it not merely expedit it and prudent, but absolutely necessary, to remove th restric`ion, we may do so without laying our elves open to the reproach of breach of principle, or to the imputation of national insolvency or recklessness. There can be no possible idea of the Bank suspend ing cash payments—the whole nation are agreed upon that point. It is very remarkable, however, that nothing would be so likely to occasion this na tional disaster as the rigid maintenance of the very Act which was designed to place such a COD tiugen , T beyond the bounds of possibility. Suppose that the Bank Act had not been relaxed, and that the run upon the Scotch banks for gold and upon the Eng lish banks for deposits had brought most of them together, with the whole trade of the country, to a suspension, would it have been unnatural t o l oo k for a run of gold upon the Bank of England ? Evade it as they may, the advocates of the Act cannot but secretly confess that, considering the pass to which affairs had come, the suspension, and not the main tenance, of the Act was the means of presErving the convertibility of the bank note. The suspension being, then, wise, necessary, and natural, where is the who except would hare sacrificed in thecamp the e nv oflw i oo " oa partymere theory—who would have strained their vision in search of the return of a comparatively small quantity or gold fLoai abroad, whilst the commene of the country was coming to a full stop, and ruin was stalking through the land ? It is a significant circumstance that the event, the mere prospPct of which led the Times to talk of humiliation and national degradation, was hailed with cheers and mutual congratulations in every place of cotnu.er eial reszrt throughout the United Kingdom. ENGLISH MONEY FOR ENGLAND. (Prom the Derbyshire Courier of November 7.) That ingeniously contrived instrument of torture —Peel's Bill—is now getting into energetic opera- ' In his evidence before the Bank Charter Commit tee, on the 7th of July last, Lord Overstone an nounced that " the great principle of the Act of 1844 is to make the amount of paper money in th. country conform in its variations to what would be the variations in the amount of a metallic cur rency." • That is to say, having established a system by which the Bank of England is allowed to issue 14,475,0001,, against securities and above the bul lion held in its coppers, and by which the other banks in Great Britain and Ireland can issue 17,384,424/. independent of bullion, the Act of 1844—a worse Act than the monstrous Act of 1819 —attempts to make this paper currency fluctuate as a purely metallic currency would do. The immense monetary affairs of this country could not for a day be carried on, nor the taxes raised with a metallic currency. Peel and Over stone knew this as well as any one e'se But merely to carry out a puerile currency crotchet the idle theory ( f ignorance and conceit, they have plunged the industrious classes of this country, at peliodically recur' ing times, into the greatest pos sible distress, privation, suffering, and ruin. Sir Robert Peel was himself the cre ►cure of paper motley—his father obtained his fortune, and wai enabled to place h:s son in the prominent political position which unhappily for his fellow countrymen he filled, entirely through the assistance afforded to his enterprising spirit by paper money. The first Sir R. Peel began life as a poor working max without capital. Paper Money stood his friend, and he became a rich one. Ho always acknow ledged his obligations to Pitt's system of Paper Money, and to the last opposed Peel's Bill. The fortune which the first Sir Robert Peel made was greatly increased in value by the bill which his son passed. Lord Overstone, whose father, still alive, was a Unitarian preacher in Manchester before be became a banker, has accumulated the largest fortune ever made in this country, in a lifetime, partly by the very paper money system which he now reprobates, and very considerably since the passing of Peet's Bills of 1819 and 1844 by the facilities which these pecuniary measures give to capitalists to enrich themselves in time of commerzial pressure, by obtaining exhorbitant interest for their capital, and by purchasing securities which the money law which he, Lord Overstone, assisted to make, have depreciated below their intrinsic value. The bill which has ruined so many families, has worked extremely well for its supporter—Lord Overstone. Now Lord Overstone, in the evidence before referred to, explains the working of the Act of 1844. " The operation of tile Act is this, that the bank notes, in other words the money, of the country must decrease as the drain of bullion goes on. That decrease in the money of the country must augment its value ; that augmentation of its value must produce two effects : one is, that it causes a temporary rise in the rate of interest to which the bank must conform ; the other is, that it induces the bullion merchants of this country to write to their correspondents abroad to say, 'Money, in relation to all other thingß, has become more valuable in this country than it was ; therefore, in your transactions with us, remit money in prefer ence to other things,' and in that way the ex changes are soon rectified." (Question 3,651.) Very well, money goes up to eight or nine per cent.: merchants and manufacturers feel the enor mous rise in interest. But that is a trifle to what ensues. Money "augments in value," that is, commodities of all kinds decline in price. A man closes his hand in bills of lading, which to day re present 100,000/. ; he opens it, and finds that to morrow they are worth 75,0001. or 50,0001. The merchant prince of to-day is the needy suppliantof the Bank Parlour to-morrow, and a ruined manthe day after. But what, Lord Overstone, becomes of the working man ? The man, whom you, Lord Overstone, are above all others bound to consider iu the laws which you make, orwhich you support? Let, what is at this moment occurring, according to the Bullionist organ, the Times newspaper of Mon day last,.give an answer. Manohester. —The depression of trade is making itself very severely felt upon the working classes, not excepting the most highly-paid servants of our city mercantile establishments. It would-be difficult to form an estimate of the still greater extent of the suff,ring among the mill operatives, resulting from the unexpected commercial crisis. Not only . in Manchester have great numbers of working peo ple been partially or entirely thrown out of employ ment by the stoppage of mills or the resort to short time, but the surrounding towns are some of them feeling the depression of trade more acutely. The silk trade of Macclesfield is, perhaps, in a still worse state ; but in .A..thton, Stalybridge, Stockport, Bury, Bolton, Dar wen, Blackburn, Preston, Roch dale, Oldham, and other large towns iu the cotton districts, distress has manifested itself widely al ready, and led to an increase of pauperism. At Preston the whole of the operatives in more than a dozen cotton mills have been thrown out of employ by an entire stoppage, while about 30 mills there are running only three or four days a week. At all the places above enumerated mills have entirely stopped or have reduced their productions very considerably, and with it the employment of the working classes. Prices continue to give way in most descriptions of yarns and cloth." We observe in passing, that Lord Stanley, as• suming that we have 160,000 horse power of steam engines employed in cotton mills, estimates the stoppage of them for two days as costing the mill owners 640,0001., or iu a working season of about 20 weeks, 13,000,0001. sterling. At Norwich, we find that "the number of un employed weavers is considerable." At Leeds " a good deal of short-time working." At Halifax "short-time working has increased." At Bradford "business in all departments •f the worsted trade remains paralysed. Short-time work ing has become general. How much privations and distress, agony of mind and suffering of body are involved in these business details ! Well may acorrespondent, who writes to thank us in our exertions in what he designates as " the cause of every poor man. and of ev, ry good man in the kingdom," exclaim, " The terriblescenes which no eye but that of God is witnessing just now in Manchester and other hives of industry, and which are directly traceable to our present pe riodical-panic-making Bank Act, would rouse the blood of the people, and they would will the extinc tion of that Act, did they but understand its ope ration." Yes, the time will come when it will be under stood, and for the sake of our suffering fellow countrymen we pray that it may some quickly. "In that way," says Lord Overstone,—in the way, that is, of deprecating all commodities, stop ping mills, and starving operatives by the thousand, in that way the exchanges are soon rectified" and so we get back a few millions of gold, the noble lord count up his gains, the ruined merchant re tires into obscurity, the wives and children of the working classes issue from the workhouse, to be per mitted to labour, if they can get work, till the next Panic. But is bullion so certain to return to us in 1857 as it did in 1847 and 1825 ? We diminish our money and boat down prices. But just now other nations are doing the same. In (Prom the Derbyshire Courier of Nov 14.) In 1811 Lord Castlereagh described the " inon vertible" Bank Notes which then existed as form ing "a circulating medium of undoubted credit, proportioned to the wants of the nation." This money bad, he said, "for the first time solved the problem of reconciling national prosperity with a state of war ; the country having risen in mann factureß, internal improvement, revenue and com merce, with a velocity which had never been ex perienced in a year of profound peace." Budgets are stubborn things, and when the speech from the Throne in February, 1811, announced that " the revenue, unaided by any new taxation was greater than was ever known in any preceding year," it stated a great financial fact. Legal tender Paper Money, inconvertible into Gold at a fixed rate, based upon the integrity of the British Government, and the wealth and hon our of the British nation, carried this count r y no t only with safety, but with every evidence of sub stantial prosperity, and social progress and happi ness, through political difficulties cornparedtowhich those of the last 40 years have been insignificant. We are now suffering from a drain of Bullion. This drain has come upon this country at .a time of peace—for the Indian disturbances can scarcely be magnified into a war—at a time when we are told, again and again, that trale and commerce were never in a more healthy and wholesome con dition, and when we h a ve b a d a t l eas t a f a i r average harvest, at a time when science is doing more to assist the energies of productive industry than was ever before known to be the case, and at a time when California and Australia have in a few years poured upwards of 150 millions of solid gold into the commerce of the world. Compare the effects of the present drain of specie with those which occurred in 1810. Every thing was then against England, as everything now has been in our favour. Sir A. Alison thus narrates the circumstances "The prodigious absorption of specie for the use of the French and Austrian armies during the campaign of 1809, joined to the immense cost of the campaign in Portugal, and the importation of one million five hundred thousand quarters of wheat to supply the deficiencies of a bad harvest in 1810, had occasioned PO great a dearth of specie in Great Britain in the latter year, that gold and silver had almost disappeared from the circulation, and a light guinea was worth 25, and sometimes 27 shillings. But what then I The banks increased their issue in a -Mailer proportion ; that of the Bank of England was raised to twenty-eight millions ; its discounts reached twenty millions in a single year. All other banks did the same ; and by this means, not only was the crisis surmounted without diffi'mlty, but 100,000 combatants and 40 ships of the line were assembled round Lisbon, which hurled back the French from the lines of Torres Iredras. A commercial and monetary crisis which, be yond all question under our present system, would have involved the nation and all the commercial interests in a general public and private bankruptcy, was not only sur mounted without distress, but the property of the indus trious clases was unimpaired during its whole continu ance : and the nation commenced in the middle of it those gigantic, efforts which at length turned the tide against France and brought the contest to a glorious termination. All this must appear to the bullionist faction as extraordinary, as it undoubtedly is true. But it is nothing to what remains to be told. " It is," says Sir A. Alison, " It is remarkable that this admirable system, which may be truly called the moving power of the nation during the war, became, towards its close, the object of the most determined hostility on the part both of the great capitalists and chief writers on political economy in the country. Here, however, as everywhere else, experience, the great test of truth, has determined the question. The adoption of the opposite system of con tracting the paper in proportion to the abstraction of the metallic currency, by the Acts of 1819 and 1844, (followed as it was necessarily by the monetary crises of 1825, 1839, and 1847,) has demonstrated beyond a doubt that it was in the system of an expansive cur rency that Great Britain, during the war, found the sole means of its salvation."—Alison's History of Europe, vol. xx., p. 79 80. It is equally "remarkable" that the system of Peel and Overatone has counteracted the onward progre-s and prosperity of the British nation under a combination of the most favourable possible cir cums:ances. Wt may be told of the American panic. But let it be remembered that in 1810, ten milions of pro perty, belonging to British merchants, were seized in six weeks in the Baltic ports and confiscated. Let it be remembered that the United States of America at one time perfectly and entirely closed their markets for British productions. Yet with paper money this country surmounted all enormous commercial difficulties, and Prospered in spite of IThe drain of bullion was exercising its pernicious effects in April last when the discount was raised to 0 per cent., and again when, before the American panic, it was, after a temporary reduction, raised to 7 per. cent. Affairs in America might be in a bad state, and English merchants trading to America would undoubtedly suffer, but this is a thing which, as the instances we have named prove, could have been without difficulty surmounted had not the money laws forced a con traction of our domestic currency. A firm like that of Denistouu and Co., of undoubted character and solvency, would have been assisted in their hour of need and have been rescued. Such a house as that of Naylor, Vickers, and Co., of Sheffield, of whom we are told that "the entire proceedings connected with their stoppage, instead of damaging the future reputation of the partners will add to the confidence hitherto placed in them," would have got something better than these empty wiirds. Sanderson and Co., with ample means, would not have been unexpectedly and suddenly brought to a stand. Of course, among many f:tilures there will be some whose business has been speculative, some probably whose transactions have been frad ulent. But we say that the working of Peel's monetary system directly stimulates speculation and encou rages fraud. _ On the 22nd of April, 1852, the Times, announc ing the reduction of the rate of discount to 2 per cent., complains that, " the absence of a courage ous spirit of enterprise is the penalty which weighed down the country since 1847, and the old feeling of healthiness will not be restored except by the diffi culty of obtaining any return for capital in the routine channels (i. e., by patient, honest trading), coupled with apprehensions of a possible further lowering of the public debt." _ _ It is this miserable, debasing, and demoralising system by which money is at one time made a " drug in the market," and speculation stimulated ; and at another time an all ificial famine of money is created, which is destroyiug the high character of British merchants and ruining the fair and honour able spirit of commerce. But there is more bitter consideration for the true patriot behind. These fluctuations and de pressions and panics rule the merchant and menu- facturer. But what becomes of the thousands and hundreds of thousands of industrious artisans and operatives ? What is the condition of the working classes in Glasgow What will it be thi s w i n t er ? What will be the state of the operatives throughout Lancashire Poverty, destitution, desperation, and crime are let loose upon our manufacturing districts by the direct application of Peel's mone tary system, and by those wh.l, tor no other , )bj.ct but he support of an idle currency cr(lchet for which they can render no intelligent reason, sup port that system. The fact is that there is more than the support of a theory at stake. The Bank Charter Act is a rich man's Bill. Its constant tendency is to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer.
