A vary pretty German glee followed this toast. Mr. Sheriff HILL said that the company were that day honoured by the presence of a most distinguished Nobleman in the county of Middlesex—namely, the Most Honourable the Marquis of Salisbury, who was Lord Lieutenant of the county of Middlesex—a Nobleman who was distinguished equally by the suavity and amenity of his manners towards those who had occasion to consult him—a Nobleman who filled the office of Lord Lieutenant of the county in the most efficient manner.

All are now agreeing, that the whole function and responsi bility of issuing money, 'whether in metal or in paper, ought to rest with the Government. All loses, then, by bank insolvencies, are thrown out of view. Let the Government have its paper mint ; and ft.blicate its 50,000,0001. of hack-note=. Let it then dispose of these to the Bank of England and to private and joint-stock banks, on solid security, of land cr consols, And at a low rate of interest. In this way we might have a sutaient, sate, and equable circulating medium ; and not, as at present, a currency which is always most scarce when it ought to be most plentiful. CHRONICLE—The unusual emphasis, not to say solemnity, with which a contemporary announced .he other day that the evening was actually fixed for the first metropolitan demonstration of the "National Anti-Gold. law League," naturally prepared_us to be- _ stow the due amountof eagerand wailering attention — ---- - on the proceedings of that learned body. We have, accordingly responded to the demand made on our time and patience by our contemprary's elaborate report of the speeches delivered on Wednesday evening by the ingenious gentlemen referred to, and have tried hard to obtain some useful return for what we venture to pronounce a rather • meritorious display of fortitude. It is not without regret that we find ourselves bound to confess, that our labour has been most inadequately rewarded. The oratory of the Na tional Anti-Gold-law Leaguers is of the kind which rerplexes rather than edifies ; and as it is extremely difficult to imagine the possibility of the movement in question ever rising to the dignity of a " great fact," we have not even the satisfaction of think ing that we have witnessed the birth of a social and legislative revolution. At this provisional and altogether hypothetical stage of the affair, we can scarcely attempt any detailed criticism or the principles and objects of the Leaguers. The philo sophy of a string of resolutions withdrawn as soon as proposed, in order to meet the wishes of all parties, is a subject that will conveniently enough bear ad journment. We may, however, be allowed to remark, that the whole proceedings of the evening strike us as in excellent keeping with that curious turn of mind which induces gentlemen to make their League first, and adjust their principles afterwards. Our national anti-gold-law leaguers appear to have the happiest talent in the world for taking up things at the wrong end, and seeing them on the wrong side.

The Marquis of SALISBURY, in returning thanks, said he felt truly grateful (as he ought to feel) for the distinguished honour which had been done him in proposing his health. He felt grateful for the honour which had been done him, and he felt still more grateful for the ki n d manner in which the com pany .hzd been 2leased to receive the toast. It was really most giafffEing to him to appear as a guest in such an assembly as the present ; but to go from him self, to a matter more worthy of attention, he begged to say he felt most - deeply grateful in returning thanks on behalf vf the House of Peers, of which he was a member. -He wished, however, that the task had fallen into better and abler hands ; he could wish that the task , bald devolved upon some one more 'accustomed to public sr, %king than he was ;but he could assure those whom he .addressed, with perfect truth and sincerity, that there was no Member of that Right Honourable House who would feel more deeply than he did the great duties which were imposed upon them by the constitution, when that eonstitution in trusted to them the hereditary privileges which they. enjoyed. He could assure those who were assembled around him that those feelings pervaded the Members of the House of Peers generally. The Members of the House of Lords felt deeply what they owed to their countrymen. He trusted the Right Hon. Chair man would permit him to propose one toast. He was sure that if the company felt that the House of Peers deserved consideration on their part, the Right Hon. Gentleman who was the chief governor and magistrate of the great city of London deserved it still more.— (Cheers.) He thought the manner in which the Lord Mayor had discharged his duties was such as to call upon every man to join him (the Marquis of Salis bury) in drinking " Health and happiness to the Lord Mayor, and Prosperity to the City of London." The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. No man was more deeply interested in the prosperity of the City of London than he was. Since he had been in office it had been his earnest desire to protect the rights and privileges of his fellow-citizens. He begged to say he was specially grateful to the Noble Marquis who had done him the honour to propose his health. The Loan MAYOR next proposed " The Healths of his excellent friends the Sheriffs of London and Mid dlesex, Messrs. Cubitt and Hill."—(Cheers.) He was quite sure that he had only to mention the names of the two honourable gentlemen to ensure a cordial reception of the toast. He doubted not that both these gentlemen would bring their best energies to bear on the responsible duties of their onerous o ffi ces. PRESENTATION OF THE NEW SHERIFFS IN THE COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The'newly-elected Sheriffs fa- the City of London and County of Middlesex (William Cubitt, .Esq., and Charles Hill, Esq.) were yesterday, agreeable to ancient custom, presented to the Cursitor Baron (G. Barflies, Esq.) in the Court of the Exchequer, and received in the usual form her Majesty's approbation of the choice the Livery of London had made of gentlemen to fill the high and important office of Sheriff for the year ensuing. • . The Recorder introdUced the' new Sheriffs to the Cursitor Baron in a very complimentary speech, and also passed a high eulogium on the ..late Shelitis (Alderman Challis and Mr. Kennard): for the tt..9,.tia factory and courteous manner in which they had per formed the arduous duties of their year of office. These gentlemen have retired into private life with the respect of all, and their reward was the unani mous thanks of their fellow-citizens, voted to them in Common Hall. Mr. Sheriff CDBITT proposed "The Court of Alder men ;" to which Alderman Luctis responded. Mr. Sheriff lina. gave "The Members for the City of London." The Committee engaged in establishing a WESTERN BRANCH of the WHITTINGTON CLUB sits DAILY at the Crown and An chor, Strand, by whom the fullest information will be afforded to persons feeling interested In the undertaking. • THOS. B. RAE, Hon. gee. 7, Gresham-str ee t, September, 1847. Mr. MASTERMAN briefly , returned thanks, and apologised on behalf of his friend, Baron Rothschild, for that gentleman's absence. Mr. Sheriff Cunrrr, in a speech of great merit, gpve " The Periodical Press, and Mr. Walter, the Member for Nottingham." Mr. Wavrea then rose and said—My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, I rise to return you my most grateful thanks for the very kind and handsome manner in which :this toast has been proposed and received ; a toast which, coupled as it has been with the prosperity of the periodical press, must be associated in the mind of every one here present with the memory of one who was my best and dearest benefactor, and who raised that unseen but fully recognised tower from a state of comparative insignificance to one of the mightiest safeguards of the liberties of this country. —(Hear) Gentlemen, the manner in which this toast has been received has been an additional proof of the high estimation in which my father's memory is held, not only by those in whose behalf he waged, to the last hour of his life, a ceaseless warfare, not only by the poorer classes of the community, but by those amongst whom for so many years he lived and acted —his fellow-citizens in this vast metropolis—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, the wisest of mankind furnished us with a remarkable criterion for estimating the happiness of our neighbours, when he told us to "judge no man blessed before his death, for a man shall be known in his children." How far, gentlemen, my career may furnish an illustration ofthis proverb—how far it may be hereafter considered to have enhanced or detracted from that blessedness which, I have the happiness of knowing, is attached to my father's memory, it would be premature at the present mo ment to decide ; but, if the deep-felt and deeply expressed sympathies of his fellow-countrymen— expressed, as on a late memorable occasion, by the spontaneous and unsolicited suffrages of a large and important constituency—(Hear, hear)—bestowed with the most lavish confidence, and in a manner wholly unprecedented, upon his son—(Hear, hear) — if, in addition to this, the compliment which you have now paid me—if honours such as these fail to stimu late me to a life of honourable, useful existence, I feel I shall be utterly unworthy of the name I bear.— (Applause.) Gentlemen, it has been often but too truly remarked, that the children of distinguished men have done nothing themselves but repose in idleness upon the laurels which their fathers have gained, but to this rule, however, there have been some bright exceptions ; and, although I am now reaping where another has sown, I trust I shall in due time have secured for myself, if not that renown, at least the same respect which I now only inherit.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, I beg to drink the healths of all of you. Several other toasts were given, and the company parted at a late hour. The dinner, which was provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breach, of the London Tavern, was of a most costly description, and in every way worthy of their justly earned fame.

For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got, Just wear one—you soon wil be reckoned a " shot." Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well, One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel ; For that is the cause why the journals express Such very great faith in his prime shooting dress. Fulfil then your wishes—your pleasures complete, By a call at the Mart, 36, Graceckurch-street. The stock is unvaried, you can't lack success, In equipping yourself in a " good Shooting Dress."

For himself he owed a vast deal to his fellow-citizens, and he felt proud of the high honour they had done him in placing him in his present position. He felt deeply grateful for all the kindnesses which he had received at the hands of his fellow-citizens, and he hoped that at the close of his year of office it would be shown that he had fulfilled his duties to their satis faction. 1 HEFFIELD PLATE, of the richest Quality.- 1.7 A.

The Court proceeded with the revision of the lists of Bread-street, Queenhithe, and Vintry Ward yes terday, which were completed without any case oc curring that called for notice. . The following is mentioned with a view to show with what facility the franchise may be obtained in the city of London: — Aaron Fickling was the occupier of three rooms in a house in Little College-street, Dowgate-hill, for which he paid 4s. a week rent. He was objected to on the ground that the rent was not sufficient to amount to 101. a year besides rates and taxes. The landlord attended, and stated that, in conse quence of Fickling being only in the condition of a servant, he let to him the rooms at a rent below their real value, which was considerably more than 101. a year. Mr. M‘CHRISTIE, on this statement, allowed the name to remain on the list. The result of the revision this day was as follows :--- CLAIMS.—LIBERALS. Allowed Disallowed ••• 19 TO TEIE LADIES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news paper on Ang. 7, 11146. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the ticrhary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about tour months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in alsund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume Ws far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact..— 3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa ve drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and nrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the rest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o. the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops st the crown of the heal ; if v-ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

The vital principle s con tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acri monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de generates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the conta gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectuual mode of eradi cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVErtSAL MEDICINE to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. llygeism—The science of health. llygelst —A. promoter of health. Hygeian—Pertaining to the science of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line of demarcation between the old and new schools. THE LANDLORD'S CALL. AN ANECDOTE FOR QUARTER-DAY. .-• It was quarter•day or near, when Landlord Lett, Called at a to 'ant's house his rent 'o get ; But understand that though the landlord went, He didn't much expect to get his rent. Knowing that heretofore his dreaded knock Had acted on his tenant like a shock. But now there needed not the s ightest fuss, For Mr. Tenant met the landlord thus : Good morning. Mr. Landlord, pray walk in, For Sir, (excuse the phrase), I've got the tin. About a year ago, or maybe less, I set to work to try and save in dress, And having from my neighbours understood That Messrs. MOSES sell both cheap and good, I made a purchase from their stock of stocks, And put the savings in a money box. Here the good tenant on the table roll'd His gains by MOSES—copper, silver gold, And having counted it he smiled to view Enough to pay his rent and taxes too. Well done, exclaimed the landlord, I propose We drink to MOSES and to MOSES' clothes. LIST OF PRICES. MADE TO NIZABUILI.

Diffidence, or a sense or right determ•rie the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself wader the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, arc the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ;it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

" Non nobis" was sung on the removal of the cloth. The LORD MAYOR then gave, "The Health of her Majesty Queen Victoria," which was responded to in a right loyal spirit. The National .Anthem was then sung. The next toasts were—" The Queen Dowager," " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." After the latter toast, a German glee, for four voices, was sung, the music by the great, the ever-to-be lamented, the mighty Carl M. Von Weber, the English trans lation commencing with the words, " What glances so bright in the morning sun, &c. The next toast was that of " The Army and Navy," which was responded to by Sir Jas. Lush ington, C. 8., after which followed another German glee, for four voices, commencing with these words : " True sword, thy dark blade gleaming, And bright as sunbeam seeming; Sword of the brave and free, Bright sword of liberty! Hurrah !" This composition is, we believe, little known in Eng land, but it bears the strongest evidence of the genius of the immortal composer. Mr. Sheriff CUMIT then proposed "her Majesty's Ministers"—a toast which he felt assured must com mand attention. This was not, nor did he wish to make it, the arena of politics, but those whom he ad dressed were citizens of London, or, at all events, with some exceptions they were—(Cheers)—but they must all be interested in the maintenance of the peace of the world.—(Cheers.) He thought it must be the unanimous wish of those whom he saw assembled on this occasion—and among whom would be found men of every possible shade of political opinion in this mighty empire—to the utmost extent cf the ability which they possessed to preserve the peace of the world, and to cause thereby the prosperity of this great empire. Such were the wishes of her Majesty's 'government, and whilst they were actuated by that feeling they would, he was sure, have the support of every individual in England.—(Hear.) He assured the company present that they would have been honoured with the presence of her Majesty's Ministers, but for the fact of the season at which those meetings took place, a season which presented to those who were in office a short period for relaxation and leisure, in order to recruit those energies which were so much drawn upon and exercised during the Parliamentary session. They were that day honoured by the pre sence of her. Majesty's Solicitor-General, and he would conclude by proposing " ['he Health of her Majesty's Ministers and her Majesty's Solicitor-General, Sir James Dundas." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL returned thanks, and said that although a very subordinate member of her Majesty's Government, he rose to return thanks to his Lordship and the goodly company he beheld be fore him for the honour which had been done to the Government to which he had the honour to belong. —(Cheers.) In their name and his own he ten dered to that honourable company his heartiest thanks—aye, the sincerest thanks which could be ut tered from the lips of man. In thus returning his sincere thanks on the part of the Government and himself, he begged that those whom he had the honour to address would not imagine for one moment that he meant to, or that his object was to, mingle politics with the splendid hospitality of which he was then partaking. He had risen to say—he had risen to state the fact—that the first Minister of the Crown had been elected by the citizens of London as their representative in Parliament. As far he could do so, he would venture to say, that the great desire of her Majesty's present Government was to preserve tID. peace of the world, and to maintain inviolate the in terests equally of England, of Ireland, and of Scot• land—interests which he trusted, under the blessing of God Almighty, would Dever be severed in their time or in the time of any man. He was quite sure that he had little more to do than to return thanks. The company would excuse him if he had spoken from his heart.—(Cheers.) There was no man, whether Mr. Sheriff HILL said that as his excellent friend had suggested that each sherilt' should speak for himself, he availed himself of the opportunity thus afforded him to return his warmest thanks to those kind friends by whose exertions he had been placed in the proud situation which he now filled. On being selected to the office of she riff, he had immediately set about ascertaining what were the duties of his office. On consulting the ancient chronicles, he found that there were two qualifications required of him who aspired to the office—first, that he should be a man of valour ; and, secondly, that he should be a man of discretion. Now, with reference to the first qualification, he must be permitted to say that we lived now in " piping times of peace ;" therefore, the first qualification which was required, vanished.—(Laughter.) The next qualification required was, as he had before ob served, " discretion. He was going to.show that he line w how to exercise this by making a short--a very short speech. He must, however, remark that his election by his over-kind friends and fellow-citizens illustrated the fact, practically, that it was not neces sary, in order to ad vance a man ' s p os ition iu life, that he should ent e r i n t o th e i n t erm i na bl e and harassing turmoil of politics, parochi a l o r ge neral, to obtain the suffrages of his fellow-citizens. 'ln proof of this, his kind—his over-kind friends—had taken him from his comparative privity and obscurity, and tad placed him in a proud position in which he coubi only hope that his conduct would be such as to merit their generous aid. He looked to the motto of .the City of London, "Domine Dirige Nos"--a motto which he thought ought to bear a free translation, and which ought to be interpreted thus : " Here no worthy citizen is neglected.' For himself he could only boast of honesty of intention, and he cordially thanked the company for the Manner in which they bad drunk his health. Mr. Sheriff CUBITT said they were on this occa sion honoured by the presence of two of the Learned Judges of the land.—(Cheers.) He need not say how much our happy country was indebted to those who administered the laws. By the constitution the Judges were deprived of political power; but he need not say one word as to the exemplary manner in which the Judges of the realm uniformly conducted themselves in the situations which they held. The Hon. G en tl e ma n , a f ter passing a h i g h eu l og i um on the Bench, con c l u d e d b y propos i ng "The Healths of the Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Baron Platt, and the rest of her Majesty's Judges."—(The toast was received with great applause.) The Lord Chief Baron POLLOCK returned thanks for the mention of his name in connexion with that of his brother Platt, and his other brother Judges, and equally so for the terms of commendation with which the toast was accompanied. The greatest re ward which public men could receive was the appro bation and the confidence of their fellow-citizens; and in deserving that approbation, and in possess ing that confidence, they were abundantly repaid for all the anxieties and toils which they underwent. The Judges in the common law courts were assisted by the merchants of England in the metropolis; in the country they were assisted by the gentlemen of the country in the administration of the law; and he thought he might venture to say that as tong as our juries were distinguished by the same integrity and intelligence, there could be no doubt that the admi nistration of justice must continue to be such as to justify the confidence of the country, and to merit the high character which it had obtained. Mr. Sheriff HILL proposed "The Health of the Lord Mayor Elect." Mr. Alderman HOOPER returned thanks, but his observations were quite inaudible. Mr. Sheriff CUBITT said they were honoured upon of the United States of Americ a , M r . Bancroft— (Cheers)—and propose that lion. of the representative this (ch e o e c r s c a n nd with het would the u p l r d e s e a n t Gentleman's health, with three times three cheers. This toast was received with the most enthusiastic burst of feeling, in the midst of which the Hon. Gentleman rose. g end th e of ne d t the phoarltl the of ffi - c w i • e e n r t e l g y r t e o t ------------ - --- Mr. 13ANCROFT returned thanks in a s p eec h w hi c h, enablewwas not t u lion. Gentleman's observat ion s. s h t e o ar g d iv a a t a th le e n The Hon. Gentle man commenced by saying that since he had been in this country he had never been allowed to consider himself a stranger—(Cheers) — and assuredly on that night did he feel himself least of all a stranger. The cordial and kind manner in which the company had received the allusions made to his country by the worthy Sheriff only showed that the ancient affections still for the United Statesprevailed.—(Loud cheers.) He had on his right, in the person .of the newly-elected Sheriff (Cubitt) the Hon. Member for Andover, and that town reminded him of his own home—of one of the beautiful inland villages of the United States bearing the sam! name. On his left he had been invited to take a friendly glass with the Hon. Member for Boston. He was himself from Boston, in America.—(Cheers.) He had not yet seen Boston, in Lincolnshire; but he !Tiust say that it must be a very h an dsome town if it eclipsed the town of the same - name in New England. When he saw that Hon. Gentleman surrounded as he was--- when he found that he enjoy ed the confidence of his fellow-citizens—he could not but think that perhaps the Hon.

Yesterday the Court revised the list for St. George's parish, leaving the lists for the remaining parishes of St. John and St. Margaret till to-day. The COURT decided that Mr. Joseph Smith's claim (previously noticed) was not admissible. Mr. Steele's claim was disallowed on the same ground. Mr. Arthur Thellusson claimed to be placed on the register for a house in Eaton-square. It appeared that he had left the house of Sir John Thorold, retaining for his own use, by special agree ment, a cellar and cupboard. Mr. Arbour, the Tory agent, appeared to support the claim, and contended that the real occupation of the cellar and cupboard was sufficient, in the circum stances, to give him the legal occupation of the whole flange. Mr. Huggett, on the other hand, argued, that as the Court had rejected Mr. Smith's claim, it was on the same principle bound to disallow the present. Claim disallowed. The COURT decided that in Dr. Lankester's case the claim was a good one. It was clear that a rate could not be paid till it was made, and therefore the objection was not a valid one. The result of the day's revision was as follows : Names expunged, 178 ; names retained and objections withdrawn, 28. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.—We find by the Ameri can papers brought by the Caledonia, that 100,000 five franc pieces had been shipped for France by the French mail steamer, and also a quantity of silver by the Havre sailing packet. The Caledonia, which arrived here on Tuesday night last, did not bring any specie, but the Britannia, due on the 14th of next month, is expected to bring a considerable amount. CURRENCY REFORM.—BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY. —A meeting of merchants, manufacturers, and others interested in a reform of the currency system, has been called by circular, and will be held at Dee's Hotel, in this town, on Monday next. Invitations have been for warded to several Members of Parliament who have taken an interest in the question, as well as to other persons ; and the meeting is likely to be of an important nature. The Members for the northern division of this county and for the borough have promised to be present. TIIE CRICKET STEAMER. —Yesterday the wreck of this ill-fated vessel was brought nearer in shore, and the process of pulling her to pieces commenced, it having been found she was too much shattered for any repair, however extensive, to render her again fit for use. Henry Haisraan, the engineer, against whom the co roner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughter, still eludes Inspector Brydges, of the Thames police who holds the warra nt for his a pp rehension, and remains at large. Many of the sufferers by the explosi on hate b roug ht actions against the proprietors, and the amo unt at which their united damages are laid reach to several thousand pounds. FAREWELL DINNER TO THE EARL OF DALIIOUSIE BY HER MAJESTY'S BODY GUARD.

TIMES.—The coffee-room of Anderton's llotel, a highly respectable house on the north side of Fleet street, has been the scene of a momentous beginning. On Wednesday night, the tables having been removed and the chairs piled up in a corner, the boards became the Runnymede of monetary freedom. On those memorable planks a league of " inconvertibles" attempted at least to draw up a great charter of paper currency, to which the signature of a shifty and pusillanimous Lord John will doubtless be speedily extorted. To that portion of the metropolis which was not present at this great demonstration it may be necessary to observe, that notwithstanding the magni ficent area of the apartment, a good many were excluded. The only conclusion in which the distin guished personages present could agree was to form an Anti-Gold-law League. All felt that it would be exceedingly desirable to buy what they wanted, and pay all their debts without gold. In this instinct we cannot help sympathising. The want of gold, like the attraction of gravity, chains one's legs to the ground. Could one but mount on wings of paper ! Kite-flying has been found but an imperfect and precarious method of ascent. A new medium altogether is what we want. This was the object of the meeting, and this is the discovery which in process of time is to immortalize Anderton's Hotel. On Wednesday night, however. the ways and means were not yet attained. Mr. Bennoch could only move some resolutions, which remain to be disc ed. They seem as judicious as any have seen on this subject, and as likely to effectuate their purpose, so we presume they will ultimately be carried. The first postulate of the system is a legal-tender currency of paper instead of sovereigns in gold. These are called " Ex chequer money notes," but whether they are to bear interest at the rate of a farthing per week for each 20s. note we are left to conjecture. We should think, however, this is not a part of the plan. Were it so, a paper 11. would annually grow into a guinea, but there appears no provision for any such develope ment. How to procure circulation for this conven tional wealth is the object that has next attracted the attention of these Leaguers. This is a difficulty which has not escaped the observation of less distin guished authorities. In fact, to procure a pecuniary value and circulation for paper may be considered one of the first and most common trials of human ingenuity. Anybody may see for himself how difficult a matter it is, by taking half a sheet of note paper, writing on it a promise to pay 1,0001. three months after date, and offering it in exchange for Bank-notes in the city. The experi ment may be tried on a much smaller scale with equal success. But the National Convention at An derton's Hotel proposes that Government shall issue 50,000,0001. of this money. The Legislature, being only flesh and blood, is liable to the same infirmities as individual men. So how is it to make a few wag gon loads of rags do the duty of 500 tons of gold ? The legal-tender notes are to get into circulation by being issued "in discharge of the current obligations of the State." This is taking the bull by the horns If Mr. Thcmson issues his sign manual in discharge of his current obligations, viz., to his laundress, his tailor, or his baker, they will severally turn up their noses at the produce of his mint. the State, how ever, is secure from this contemptuous treatment. It can force its own money down the throats of its cre ditors. Hobson's choice—either that or nothing. When our great aunts and grandmothers go for their dividends, when the judges send for their quarter's pay, when existing contractors present their bills, they will receive " legal-tender currency, or money of the realm, consisting of Exchequer-money notes of the value of 11. and " upwards." On proceeding to pass those commodi ties the unfortunate fundholder will find that he pos sesses only a titular wealth—money, so to speak, in partibus infidelium. His butcher and baker will look sour at the documents. He has no standing army to enforce the tender, so he is obliged to submit to a terrible depreciation, measured not merely by gold, but by bread and cheese. He will have to give three, or perhaps four notev o rhere he egrected tdj give oviy two ; and his 4qc, conse_gaentiyin the new cuntiNip.Oworfla otil hat. was in the Au. old. The butcher is obliged o late the money, and will be glad to take it at the -mark* value, but no law on earth—at least no law that would stand an hour on British soil—can compel him to exchange a round of beef for 11. if he chooses to have 21. So, of course, there is scope for a depreciation to any ex tent. Sucb a depreciation would immediately ensue from the unfortunate circumstance that the legal tender currency would be worthless beyond our shores. The " Exchequer money notes" would be tendered on the point of the bayonet. With foreign ers our state would find ifself reduced to the position of a private individual. Whatever we wanted from abroad we should still have to pay for in gold, or gold's worth. So gold would soon mount over paper. The next step of the project therefore is to find some other customer on whom the fundholder, the pensioner, or the contractor may pass this unfortunate hunchback of a 11. The State, with a most praiseworthy generosity, is to offer itself for -this turn. The notes are to be re ceived at their full value by the tax-gatherer. This is killing two birds with one stone. The expenditure and the revenue of the State will be in the same boat. These lively bits of paper will fly from the Bank to the fundholder, and the fundholders to the officials at Somerset-house ; from the Treasury to the contractor, and from the contractor to the Cus tom-house; from the Horse Guards to the army agent, from the army agent to the manufacturer, and from the manufacturer to the excisemen. They will be the perpetual homesick animals which are said to yield so large a revenue to a certain class of dog-sellers. After the lapse of a week you will be sure to have them whining for re -admit tance at the Treasury, The notice over the doors of that building—" Full value given for old cotton rags," will not fail to attract a continual supply. The paper current will go in a vicious circle, round and round, like "perpetual motion" in the jimcrack of a crazy mechanic. If the people of these islands did nothing but pay taxes and receive them back in divi dends and pensions, all would go on well. But, un fortunately, the income of the State is little more than a tithe of the aggregate income of the nation, while the expenditure of the State is not a twentieth or a thirtieth of the annual aggregate of pecuniary transactions. The marketable value of the notes would be regulated by the demand in the market ; and as they would only be wanted for just one pur pose, they would experience a bathos of depreciation which we fear to contemplate. Taxes, national debt, army and navy, pensioners, and Majesty itself, would accompany the notes in their downfall, and the dreams of our most sanguine economizers would shortly be realized. HERALD.—It is certainly a matter worthy . of some admiration—how uniformly the ideas and prin ciples of the late Miehael Sadler are found to re appoar, and, one by one. to fix themselves in the public mind. The Ten Hour Bill, that noble object, in the pursuit of which he sacrificed his health, and some of the most precious years of his life :—poor laws for Ireland :—cottage allotments—each after each becomes either the law of the land, or the prac tice of the people; and now -even his thoughts con cerning the currency are seen re-appearing; and the world grows, almost without knowing it, thoroughly Sadlerian. In " Mr. Sadler's Life," page 496, it is suggested, on his authority, that the two great objects, of a sufficient, and an equably supplied cur rency, " might be most entirely and securely attained by a national bank, or a state-paper money, issued by a distinct Government office ; only on_ the security of funded property, and without variation in amount, except within strictly-defined limits. Could some such scheme be devised, and could any Government summon up courage enough to propound it, it is clear that two benefits would result. First, an annual profit to the Government of about one million minus the expense of the establishment; and secondly, an equable state of trade, the establishment and maintenance of which would, of itself, be one of the greatest benefits that could be conferred on the whole country." In the pamphlet entitled " Free Trade and- a Fettered Currency," written by Mr. Alison, an eminent Protectionist, about three months since, the conclusion is this,:—" What would you do to remedy the existing evil? We answer Extend the currency: This may be do ne either by allowing the Bank to issue one pound notes ad aum ' under the obligation of paying the m i n go ld er silver at the current market price of those metals ; or, by Govern ment issuing notes, embracing those for one pound, to the extent of the sum annually ex pended in payment of all public creditors." And, on Wednesday night, a meeting was held at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, a house of Liberal resort—the chair being occupied by Mr. Bennoch, a Free Trader and member of the Anti-corn-law League, at which this resolution was received with great applause :—" That the legal-tender currency or money of the realm, ought to consist of Exchequer notes of the value of one pound and upwards ; such notes to be issued with the consent of. Parliament in.' discharge of the current obligations of the Stateolo an amount not exceeding in thecourst nfAke year the annual taxation of the country ; the — fractional parts of the'pound being represented as at present by and remedies of national embarrassment and distress, without a word said of the potato failure and the railways, indicates a truly extraordinary condition of the perceptive and logical faculties. Gentlemen who can account for a " crisis" without the smallest help from natural causes, one of which is perfectly unprecedented in kind, while both are without example for the magnitude of their operation, are certainly not undeserving of credit as bold and ori ginal thinkers. lit never seems to enter our Leaguers' heads, that a whoselale destruction of the nation's food, together with a wholesale expenditure of the nation's capital on works which can yield no imme diate return, have any necessary connexion with na tional distress. Currency has done it all. The na tion was " on the high road to fortune;" only the (sold-law, gracefully personified as a " fiend," gave us " a foul stroke," and "laid us prostrate on the earth." " Peel's money laws," and the " fixed price of gold," have dune it all; and " taxation paper to the amount of sixty millions annually" would undo it all. The great thingjwyd to bring us roundiisTimply for the M Vueen to "rdiabills, at twelve` si labs after date, uifoh her subjects,'' and pay her and our debts in ~.__thals cheap 461 cosibenient currency. Nothing in ie world is needed to snake us a prosperous people, except to create a new sort of " pound,' very con siderably inferior in value and purchasing power to the present pound sterling, and to use the new pounds to pay off old debts. Very convenient and aLireeaole this would be, no doubt, to the insolvent debtor class of the community. To the solvent and honest classes of a people subsisting by that commerce of which creditis the life, the results of any financial operation of this description would obviously l of a more mixed character. Our Leaguers certainly exhibit some tact in mixing up the Act of 1844 with their igitation. It is, however, scarcely necessary to ob serve that Sir Robert Peers plain answer to the plain question, " What is a pound?" is a perfectly distinct matter from his complicated and artificial contrivance for guarding a particular description of promises to pay pounds sterling with special preliminary securi ties. The Act of 1844 does nothing whatever in the way of' defining "what is a pound," or, as these gen tlemen persist in wording it, with a laughable mis nomer, "fixing the price of gold." The Act of 1844 is merely a series of expedients for giving extra and special guarantees to one particular sort of contract having pounds sterling for its subject -matter. It would be altogether out of place here to repeat our frequently-expressed opinion on the principles and policy of a measure which has not the smallest con nexion with the question of the ethical validity of pecuniary obligations. POST.—The National Anti Gold Law League was formed on Wednesday. The meeting was crowded. Some opposition was offered towards the close of the proceedings ; but only two hands were hell up in opposition to the formation of the society. The chair was filled by a commercial man ; and several commercialists of eminence have, we understand, since given in their adhesion to the principles pro pounded by the association. Subscriptions to a con siderable amount have, it is stated, been already re ceived. It is gratifying to find. that men engaged in commercial pursuits begin to discover that the money question is to them, a question of vital im portance. Peel's Money Laws have, in fact, crippled the productive industry of Great Britain to an extent that is scarcely calculable. No redress is to be hoped for from the men who framed the Currency Law of 1819, or who profit by its operation. If the produc tive classes would secure fair play for their energies, they must win fair play for themselves. Government in this country is now (the sad truth receives fresh illustration with the lapse of each day), regulated, not by influences derived from justice, but by influences derived from agitation. Agitation is, in fact, rendered necessary to the productive classes by the position which our rulers have assumed ; and since our manufacturers, our merchants, our agriculturists must " agitate," in order to escape' destruction, it is gratifying to reflect that agitation never can have a more useful object than the subversion of Peel's Monetary policy. HOLLAND PARK PATHWAY.—Yesterday a meeting was had at the Kensington Institution, to consider the propriety of pi titioning Parliament against the proposed alteration of a public highway by Lord Holland. Mr. J. R. Cornwall presided. He urgedthe preserving to the public of all salubrious walks, particularly those in the vicinity of London ; the benefits derived by the in habitants of crowded leealities from healthy exercise among the gre en fields, and It:e necessity of opposing all invasion of toe highways by landed proprietors for the advancement of private accommodation. He called on the ratepayers of Kensington to save from destruc• tion one of the most delightful promenades near Lon don. Mr. Miley dwelt on the loss that the inhalitants would sustain by the substitution of the proposed for the present path, and trusted that the press would aid them opposing so shameful an attack on publlc riahts.— (Cheers,) Messrs. Murray, White, and Berkel..y sup ported the presentation of a petition to Parliament against the proposed enclosure. Messrs. Clarke, Stavely, and Watson opposed a petition, contending that the parish would benefit by the alteration. On a divi sion 157 voted for presenting a petition against the alto. ration, while 28 voted in its favour. CHARING-CROSS SUSPENSION BRlDGE.—Yesterday, the directors of the Charing-cross Suspension Bridge opened a wicket at the north turret, giving a direct access to the steam-boat pier to persons crossing the bridge from Lambeth, who have hitherto been com pelled to pass entirely over the bridge to Hungerford market, and return again to the north turret, a consi derable distance. before they could descend the steps leading to the floating pier. TRANSFER OF THE HACKNEY CARRIAGE DEPART.. MENT OF THE STAMPS AND TAXES TO THE EXCISE . OFFICE.—On and after the 4th inst. (Monday next), by the provisions of the 10th and 11th Vic., c. 24, the business relative to the duties on .hackney carriages will be transacted at the Excise office, in Broad-street, where duties must be paid, property found in public vehicles deposited, and applications tor licenses, made from stage proprietors,„ the ditties . on railway passengers are transferred after the above date by this Act to the col ioeti,iti of the Excise. _ _ ~!5 - The John Bull arrived last night from liumburgh.
