STATE OF TRADE.—Although there was, as might be expected from the season, hut little demand yesterday, the market was decidedly firm and elastic ; and all descriptions, both of goods and yarn, were firmly bald for the full prices of last week, or, in some cases, for an advance ; and very little inclination was sho►v n to make contracts for future delivery, which were rather freely offered by the buyers.—Manchester Guardian. THE BREAD TAX GREATER THAN ALL THE STATE TAXES.-- Now, supposing that the effect of the Corn-laws be to raise the price of grain in this country lOs. a quarter higher than it would be if foteign grain were allowed to be freely imported (and this is a very moderate computation),lt follows that the burden of the bread tax is equal to the enormous sum of 60„000,000/. per annum, a sum far exceeding the whole expenditure of the Government of the country, including the interest on the national debt !

F,stablished in 1808. ALTERATION OF FORM. • _ _ _ This old-established and widely-circulated Journal, which is already the Largest Newspaper published in Edinburgh, will be still further Increased in Size at the beginning of the New Year. Besides being printed on a Sheet of Greater Diniensions, its form will be changed from Quarto to Folio, so that a considerable portion of the blank space now required for folding, will be filled with Letter-press. This alteration has 'been resolved on to make up to the Readers of the CHRONICLE for the encroachments which a constantly increasing number of Advertisements has made on the Columns devoted to other matter. The CHRONICLE will continue to pursue that Liberal and Indepeildont course which has acquired for it the character of an honest and impartial. friend of Civil and Religious Freedom.. Warmly attached to the principles of Progressive Reform, it countenances neither the mad projects ofrevolu tionary agitators, nor the vacillating policy of the mere place hunting Statesman. Temperately written, and carefully selected, it is peculiarly suitable for a Family Newspaper. Ti t e Market Tables, Prices Current, and other useful Lists, connected with Agriculture, Commerce, Manufactures, and Shipping. are the most complete published in any Scottish Ne wspaper. Ft'orn the Extent and Character of its Circulation, the CIIIIIONICLE is at p resent an Excellent Medium for Adver tisenients, and it will be rendered still more so by the active nieaitire, that have recently been taken to increase the number of it Subscribers, not only in Edinburgh, but in all the Pro vincial Towns.

SIR—In my letter to you on the subject of the currency, which appeared in your Journal on the 14th, I submitted, a few suggestions, which, if acted upon, appeared to me calculated to afford in time of difficulty a certain degree of relief to public credit, without violating any of the princi ples by which it ought to be protected. In adverting to this, allow me to notice an oms sion in the Bth clause of the scheme, of the " mo nosyllable " not before the word " exceeding," which stultifies the general tenor of my remarks ; and, with your permission, I wonld beg leave to offer a few further observations in illustration of the views which I have adopted. For the sake of brevity, I shall merely discuss the more prominent points. I have stated that "in consideration of the public being in arrear to the Government to the extent of the value of one year's revenue, and the Government being virtually indebted to the Bank of England to the extent of the value of the dead weight, it would be expedient that Government should issue Exchequer bills of 21. and upwards, not bearing interest, and not exceeding in all ten millions, to be used by the Bank of England in maintaining the circulation of the kingdom by making advances on approved securities ; and that so soon as (and not sooner) the Bank of England should hold gold equal in value to the amount of one-third of the said Exchequer bills, and of their own notes actually in circulation, then the various banks of issue through out the kingdom should be bound to lend to Go vernment at the rate of three per cent. interest. (and which loan should form no part of the Consolidated Debt), an amount equal to one-third of their actual circulation, and one-fifth of their deposits, includ ing the amount at the credit of accounts current, as well as that lodged on deposit receipts." Now, I shall assume that sufficient considera tions have been shown to warrant the Government in issuing (if necessary) Exchequer bills to the ex tent named ; and if this be conceded, it will then he evident that the interest arising from the issue of such Exchequer bills would accrue to the public benefit ; and if there were issued, at an average, to the extent of the extreme limits prescribed (10,000,0001.), the saving to the public, at the rate of three per cent. interest per annum, would be 300,000/. ; and further, from the circumstance of these Exchequer bills bearing no interest, there could be no temptation to buy them up, for the sake of selling at a premium, as a temporary in vestment. The leading principles by which banking ought to be governed are few in number and easy of de monstration. Supposing the various constituencies are of such a character as to give confidence to the public, it is only necessary to exercise the utmost care and discretion as to the extent of their engage ments and the validity and fitness of the ecwities held by them for repayment of advances, the greater portion of which ought at all times to be readily available ; and next to offer to the public such fair and equitable inducements to lodge money in de- ' posit as might enable them to obtain a reasonable profit, because in the majority of cases it is only by doing business to a considerable extent, and bv lending money so lodged on good security that airy body of proprietors can be benefited so as to make it worth while to incur the risk necessarily atten dant upon money transactions of an extensive cha racter, even under the best management. But, while the interests of the proprietors are at. tended to on the one hand, those of the public must not be neglected on the other; and for this purpose I have suggested that a certain portion of ! thaossets of all bank s o f i ssue ought to be vested Government, at a fixed rate of cu a r n i d ty of that a sume qual in value to one thirdin interest th e o s f ; their actual se curity circulation, and one-fifth of their deposits should be so placed ; and that the fund so appropriated should only be withdrawn in the event of the bank or banks finding. it expedient to cease carrying on business. By this means any losses consequent on a fall of the prices of the public funds would be avoided, and as this most frequently takes place in times of panic and alarm, and (after prices being lowered to a certain point) has the effect of withdrawing money deposited with bankers for investment in the public securities, the object which I have in view will be apparent ; and, surely, if in times of extreme distrust the security of Go vernment is eagerly sought after as a dernier ressort, there can be no valid objection to take ad vantage of that security to a limited extent for maintaining the public credit by the issue of Ex chequer bills as I have proposed. It now remains to be shown how the bank of of issue would be affected in giving the proposed security to the public by lodging money in the hands of Government to the extent proposed. In order to make this as clear as possible, I have sub .11vd two statements, the one based upon a small capital with a corresponding scale of transactions ; and the other upon a capital and scale of greater magnitude. I admit that the extent of transac tions set forth in these statements is merely hypo thetical, but this will in no wise invalidate my argu ment, because whether the transactions of any bank be large or small, the security required will be in a corresponding ratiol: STATEMENT, No. I.

In the present state of things the 13ank of Eng land may, with apparent justice, argue that they are placed in the anomalous situation of being re sponsible for the consequences of overtrading On the part of other banks of issue, being compelled to'find gold in payment of their own notes, which, as re gards others, are declared to be a legal tender. Unless, therefore, some alteration takes place in this respect, one of two consequences must: necessa r il y follow—either that the gold should be found to • form an adequate circulating medium, which, is in fact impossible,—or that a substitute should be found for the deficiency, beeauke so longs the in terest of the public debt remains to Ile priiritled for, - just so long will it be necessary that die . .. commerce, manufactures, and agriculture of the country should be maintained to such an extent,.es -svilleiiolo the Government to realize a sufficient Antonia in tate& and imposts to meet :he necessary public disburse ments. Should no remedy he provided to meet the present or any further emergency, the Bank of Eng land will certainly have a strong'Claim. to an exclu sive monopoly of the issue of paper, end the, fatal consequences - of such an alternative ratty be easily foreseen. I have been asked, why do you propoSe to make the Bank of England the medium for making advances of Government paper, instead of the Government itself ? To this it may be answered, that as the greater portion of the Bills and other securities, which might be offered by the different country banks of issue would most probably pass through the hands of the respectable bill•brokers, they would be more likely than any other class of individuals to form a correct opinion of the value and charac ter of such securities ; and that the combined ex perience of these gentlemen and of the Directors and other officers of the Bank of England, might be more safely relied upon than those of any limited number of Commissioners appointed by Government. Besides, there is nothing to prevent Government from appointing a Committee to exa mine and control the advances so made ; and the profit arising from the issue of Exchequer bills would at all times be more than adequate to the payment of any charge for commission to which the Bank could be reasonably entitled, and to indem nify any Board of Commissioners so appointed for their trouble. It would also have the effect of placing the actual state of the country more im mediately under the eye of the Bank Directors, and would neutralize any pretext on their part for de viating from a sound administration of the impor tant trust confided to them. But then another question may arise—po you suppose the Bank of England would sanction. any system which might lessen the amount of tbe•Bsuk circulation ? My reply would be,. that ~ no :wok effect would be produced by the operation of the proposed scheme, because in the .existing state of things, the Bank cannot supply an amOunt in notes equal to that required by the absolute neeesiiiies o f the country, excepting at the risk: of bankruptcy ; and, besides, so soon as they held an amount. in gold equal in value to one-third of the proposed Ex chequer and of their own notes actually in circulation bills, in other w o rds, s o s oon as the ; or, Foreign exchanges with this country shall hate regained a healthy state,. these Excheqiier bills, or the greater portion of them would - be returned to the Government in payment of the loans by the banks of issue, and would leave the field Open for the circulation of Bank of England notes. On the whole, I am humbly of opinion that the unrestricted issue of paper, either by Government or classes of individuals, is liable to abuse ; but that a limited circulation of Goveintneut paper, under the guarantees, and to the extent proposed, is, under the circumstances in which this country is • placed, not only safe, but absolutely necessary. I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, THOMAS NIMMO. Southern District Bank, Southampton, Dec.. 26. SEIZURE OF SPIRITS...•-Wednesday last, iu formation having been lodged with the Excise, that a spirit dealer in town, to the injury of his creditors, was sending off a quantity of spirits to various other spirit dealers, Messrs. Pearson, Headley, and Miller, of the Excise, immediately instituted a search, and recovered in one place 30 gallons, in another 26, in another 50, and in another 20, in all 126, which they seized and conveyed to the Excise store. The spirits were con cealed in back courts, in bed-rooms, dungeteads, &c. The penalty for receiving spirits without a permit is, by the Act, 2001., with forfeiture of spirits..—Paisky Ad vertiser.
