THE WIFE'S DELIGHT. [From a MS. collection of poems written and collected by Andrew Sympson, schoolmaster at Stirling, A.D. 1690.] Some men they do delight in hounds, And some in hawks take pleasure ; Some do rejoice in war and wounds, And thereby gain great treasure. Some men do love on sea to sail, And some rejoice in riding, But all their judgments do them fail — Oh! no such joy as chiding! When in the morn I ope mine eyes, To entertain the day, Before my husband e'en can rise, I chide him—then I pray. When I at table take my place, Whatever be the meat, I first do chide, and then say grace, If so dispos'd to eat. Too fat, too lean, too hot, too cold, I ever do complain, Too raw, too roast, too young, too old — Faults I will find or feign. Let it be flesh, or fowl, or fish, It never shall be said ; But I'll find fault with meat or dish, With master or with maid. But when I go to bed at night I heartily do weep, That I must part with my delight— I cannot scold and sleep. However, this doth mitigate, And much abate my sorrow, That though to-night it be too late, I'll early scold to-morrow. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. RIBBONISM IN IRELAND. !From the Cork Constitution.) we had to refer to ribbonism as it ex- Hitherto we 1 -are we now to be compelled to advert to it as existing in our own ? Has this flagiti ous conspiracy extended its ramifications here ? and are our population to he enrolled in a fraternity whose bonds of brotherhood are bonds of blood ? It is time that the authorities he on the alert. Lodgment to the enemy they must not give, and, for aught we know, these villains may be already at work to seduce the people into deeds for which they will have to answer with their heads. We make these remarks in conse quence of a document, of which we subjoin a copy, having been picked up in the streets of Bandon. It is substantially similar to some of those read at the trials which have recently taken place in the central and northern parts of the country, and the object of its concocters is declared to be the enlisting of the south west in the same sanguinary confederation wrainst Protestant life and property. The locking up of the tongues of men, and the " bright gifted button that will shew light all over Ireland,' are allusions that can not be misunderstood. We have the same reference to the temperance society as has been remarked in other passports of ribbonism ; and some there are, we fear, who hope to turn what ought to be a blessing to Ireland into a bane and curse. One thing is clear : every man who has no evil object in his abstinence from drink—who has joined the society not for party but for moral advantage, ought to endeavour to rid it of the odium brought on it by conspirators who would identify him and it with schemes of spoliation, murder, and rebellion. _ isted in other counties We know not in what light these things may be re garded by others, but there are some " signs' in the times too significant to be despised. Political power is in this country passing rapidly into hands in which we have no desire to- see it placed, because we believe it cannot be placed there with safety. Day after day not only are we taunted with the numbers of those by whom we are opposed, but our attention is pointed to exhibitions of physical force well calculated to overawe the timid. While the "bone and sinew" are thus portentously paraded before our eyes, the passions of the people are inflamed by priests who tell them that their hopes have been disappointed, their expectations frustrated, and, when they have thus roused resent ment to the proper pitch, remind them that there are " extremes which disappointed hopes may resort to for redress." Day after day, we repeat, are these things to be heard and seen in Ireland, and it is, therefore, not the part of prudence to neglect any precaution which may contribute to the preservation of the peace and the protection of the well-disposed.

Apart from the special grievance, of which it is ad mitted that France has just cause of complaint, what is the nature of the advantages—what the compensa tion, we are to derive under this new compact with Russia for the sacrifice of other alliances, and the breach of existing treaties ? These are the real ques tions which every reflecting man will ask, and which yet remain to be resolved. Resolved, indeed, they will not be; unless by some untoward event suddenly in volving the nation in war, until the next session of Parliament, if, indeed, then ; for with his usual cun ning, Lord Palmerston has contrived to postpone to that distant period the (lay of reckoning, on the custo mary pretexts so hacknied and frivolous, of detriment to the public service, by inconvenient and premature disclosures whilst negotiations are still pending. But what, we repeat, what are we to gain by this hand•in hand confederacy with Russia, by constituting her the arbitress in Eastern affairs, and the delegate of qua druple vengeance on the restive Pacha of Egypt ? Through Egypt and Syria lie three of the speediest routes to British India, of which, therefore, they may be regarded as the outposts and approaches. Is it fitting or prudent that we should consign the virtual "ardianship of these approaches—the keys of our —to the mighty autocrat of the north ; or are they not more safe and accessible so long as held in the keeping and possession of a weaker power like the Egyptian satrap, whose shores are exposed to our fleets, and on whose fears we could operate for a free passage at all times, if not on his sense of right or reason ? Even as we write the overland dispatch from Bombay brings the unwelcome intelligence that a Rus sian army of 30,000 men, surmounting all the frightful perils of vast and dreary wastes and mountains supposed impassable, where nature is barren of production, and drought accompanies famine, has arrived in Khiva to chastise some pretended breach of peace by its sove reign, with a train, too, of heavy artillery, the transport of which was a task more difficult still. Once there, they are no more likely to quit their hold than our army of Cabul, unless driven out by superior force, or the accidents of climate. Now at Khiva, the Russians are nearer to Cabul by one-half of the distance, or less, than Cabul, now substantially in our possession, is from Calcutta. Virtually, therefore, Russia is now on the confines of Hindostan, and actually in Bucharia, which joins Affghanistan, in which Cabul, now occu pied by our forces, is situate. All the accounts from India betray the uneasiness which this close proximity of the Russians so naturally excites. Shah Soojah trembles on the throne already, on which planted and only supported by our arms, and so conscious of pow erlessness, that he threatens to abdicate the throne and return to the exile from which drawn, should the Bri tish forces depart, or their number not be' augmented in a ratio adequate to his protection. Russia in Khiva has only to declare in fi►vour of Dost Mahomet, the late ruler, and the Baruckzyes, the first dethroned, and the latter expelled from power by our arms, and war of another sort and on a different scale, would have to be recommenced, where the antagonist. to be dealt with would not be a barbarian chief, with a rude and undis ciplined rout of rabble soldiery, but hardy armies trained and practised in the most improved modes of European warfare, and, led by generals of well known skill and courage. And it would be the interest no less than a point of honour with Russia to consummate such an achievement ; for Dost Mahomet was an ally of Russia, the sole crime, indeed, with which he was chargeable, and which led to his expulsion. And herein consists the folly and rashness of our embark ing in enterprises so distant, and so little conducive ultimately to honour and advantage as the expedition to Cabul, when the scene of action lay 1500 miles from the seat of Indian government. Our Indian force is naturally weakened, and, therefore, more assailable by being dispersed over so immeasurable an extent of territory, which now we can scarcely hold, and yet cannot abandon with honour or safety. To this expe dition, which has shown the practicability of access to the interior of India, before deemed inaccessible, we owe the Russian advance upon Khiva in our neighbour hood. We have shown the way, and they are not slow to profit by the blunder. And yet it is to Russia so hovering abmit and threatening British India, that we are now consigning the lordship over the other passes from Asia, through which alone we now possess those precious facilities of speedy. communication which we are so wantonly placing in jeopardy. outer hous WINDOW DUTIES.—The following extract is taken from the instructions of the Tax Office upon this subject just is sued to the Surveyors of Taxes :—" The board have received directions from their lordships not to charge the windows in a warehouse or manufactory solely used as such, although communicating with the dwelling-house or a shop by a door between such house, or shop and manufactory, or warehous e , provided such manufactory or warehouse form no part of the dwelling-house, but only communicate therewith by such • door." ilottrp BREECHES-POCKETS FACTS The statements which have recently been published by the conservative journals, with regard to the " *.wring Jobbery," have convinced discerning persons of the fallacy of believing that the whigs are promoters of economy and retrenchment, and will cause them, henceforth, to look on all liberal pro fessions with suspicion. The miscellaneous items voted in a committee of supply a week or two since furnish a few further illustrations of whig economy. Here are some instances : To defray the travelling expences of seventeen assis tant poor law commissioners in Ireland and Wales, in addition to salaries of £7OO. per annum each 15,817 For the like purpose for eleven other assistant poor law commissioners for Ireland, in addition also to salaries of £7OO per annum each 8,236 To the travelling expenses, &c, of five inspectors of prisons, in addition to salaries averaging £6BO per annum each..... To fifteen superintendents of factories £29,053 The following are part of the expenses of the Foreign office, under our economical whig government : Secret service For messengers' bills and extra couriers, Foreign office Postage to be defrayed from the funds of the same department, in consequence of the abolition of the privilege of franking, from Jan. 20, 1840, to March 31, 1840 . . £143,000 Let it be observed—THßEE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR FOR THE POSTAGE EXPENSES OF ONE OFFICE POLITICAL CHARACTERS (From the Oxford Herald.) MR. T. S. DUNCOMBE. " Some take him for a tool That knaves do work with, call'd a fool ; But they're mistaken very much, 'Tis plain enough he is no such. We grant, although he has much wit, He's very shy of using it, As being loth to wear it out, And therefore bears it not about, Unless on holidays or so As men their best apparel do." Querulous old ladies, sentimental young ladies, and bloom ing matrons of the coteries of Mayfair and the parts there unto adjacent, may perhaps think we are treating the " wicked wag," as they call him, rather harshly, when we apply the above quotation from Hudibras to him. " Tom" is a un►ver sal favourite with the ladies, and as the " pretty dears" do not generally patronise noodles, they will by no means like to have it stated that this gay young man is " a tool That knaves do work with, call'd a fool." But the fact is, that Tom has lately been playing such strange antics in the House of Commons that he has fully proved that even if " he has much wit, He's very shy of übing it." Take as an instance his conduct with respect to that most unmitigated vagabond, John Thorogood, and say whether, after reading the speech be delivered on bringing forward his motion relative to the release of that fellow from Chelmsford gaol, you can set him down as other than one of " those tools that knaves do work with." Fi-om his performances on tne occasion referred to, it is really charitable to suppose that he is one of the slid tools, or otherwise you will be obliged to consider him a knave. Now we are anxious to think well of " Honest Tom," as the Radicals call him, and we will there fore take it for granted that in the affair of Thorogood he was the dupe of some of his knavish acquaintance on the radical benches in the House of Commons. This is really putting a very favourable construction on his conduct, and it is to be hoped that he will feel duly grateful for it. Full well do we know that the hon. member for Finsbury likes a joke as well as any man living ; but we cannot help thinking that he was not in a joking mood the other evening, when he entertained the House of Commons with a repetition of the trumpery nonsense, disgusting hypocrisy, and nauseous cant, which has been dressed up during the last 18 months in the columns of the Globe and Chronicle, and other Ministerial papers, with reference to the self-inflicted imprisonment of the obscure cobbler of Chelmsford. On the day to which we allude " Tom" seemed quite in earnest, and it was really amusing to hear the whining and snivelling tone, smacking strongly as it did of the conventicle, (Tom Duncombe and the con venticle mentioned in the same breath !) in which he ex pressed his astonishment that the " Bishop of London could lay his head calmly on his pillow, whilst the man Thorogood was pining within the walls of a dungeon, for the non-pay ment of a church rate of five shillings and sixpence ;" the Bishop of London all the time, as Sir Robert Inglis justly observed, having as much to do with the matter as the Queen has with the summonses and warrants issued in her name, by every justice of the peace. Giving Mr. Duncombe, as we do, credit for more than the average portion of intelligence which fall to a radical, we are really astonished to see the exhibition which he made of himself on, the evening in question. To us the whole affair was incomprehensible. Humbug (this is an ugly word, but as we can find none bet ter or more appropriate, the use of it must be allowed and excused) humbug, and humbug of the grossest kind, is the stock in trade of a radical; take it from him and his mouth is shut—deprive him of it and his " occupation's gone," he becomes a nonentity, Of course in the case of this pre cious Mister Thorogood more than a liberal allowance of humbug was to be expected ; but we confess we did feel a little surprised that our Tom Dumcombe should have deli vered all the stupid trash that he did, as though he were fully convinced of its truthfulness. Had he addressed the balderdash in question to the electors of Finsbury, it might have been all very well ; but to address it to the House of Commons, with a serious face, seemed to us to require more brass than even Duncombe himself possesses. Deliver it to the house however he did, and lie delivered it, as we have just intimated, as if he had been making a speech of states manlike character, on a subject of surpassing importance. For a man like the hon. member for Finsbury to have done this, without betraying himself, seems to us almost impossi- Bible ; and therefore it is that we are led to believe that on this one occasion he allowed himself to be made a tool in the hands of his compatriots. Assuming such to be the case, we are forced to the conclusion that Duncombe is not so clever a fellow as we have hitherto taken him to be. Perhaps, however, his wit may be great, but he did not feel disposed to throw it away in such a trumpery matter. " being loth to wear it out, And therefore bears it not about, Unless on holidays or so, As men their best apparel do." Mr. Thomas Slingsby Duucombe belongslo an aristocratic family of, we believe, conservative opinions. The only rea son that can be assigned why Mr. T. S. D. thought fit to set up as a radical is the anxiety he felt to be something different to the rest of his order. That he cares one straw for " libe ral " opinions no man in his senses believes : he would be a conservative to-morrow if he thought that anything substan tial could be gained by it. It is generally understood that he is anxious to get a place, and we must candidly confess that he is as well deserving of one as any man on the ministerial benches. Although he has been in his hot youth rather wild, and is still what is called " a gay young man," notwithstand ing he is on the wrong side of forty, he is regular in his at tendance in the house, and would, there is no doubt, fulfil the duties of any office to which he might be appointed with industry and ability. Why do the whigs not give him sone subordinate post ? By doing so they would gain the support of man who would render them assistance ten times more efficient than can be obtained from a thousand Horsman's or five hundred Mr. Stanley's. But the ministers are such precious dunderheads that they cannot discover talent in the rising young men of their own body ; and even if the talent be too apparent not to be seen, they have not tact to secure it. Well, so be it ; it is a matter of which the conservatives have not much reason to complain. The personal appearance of Mr. Duncombe is that of a perfect gentleman. He dresses well, but without the slightest approach to foppery. He is a fine looking fellow, well built, rather tall, with agreeable features and coal black hair and whiskers ; he is quite a lady killer. As a " political charac ter "he professes himself an ultra radical. He can speak well on any matter, but he is no orator. Certainly his constituents have no reason to complain of him, for he is generally Al the house both early and late. Duncombe had great difficulty in getting into parliament. He tried several times to secure the representation of Hertford, but without success. Eventually he contrived to ingratiate himself 'into the favour of the free and inde pendent" electors of the borough of Finsbury. On his canvass Tom made himself all things to all men : to the ladies also he paid great attention, and the consequence was that through their good offices he obtained many others, which would otherwise have been given to his opponents. " Oh ! my dear Mrs. Smith," Tom used to say, on entering a house, " you look better than I ever remember to have seen you—the same beautiful face, the same brilliant eye ; oh ! your charms will never die ! Could you, my dear Mrs. Smith—could you just ask Mr. Smith—l may say my highly esteemed friend, Mr. Smith, to give me his vote at the next election ?" Of course Mrs. Smith promised, and of course poor Mr. Smith was obliged to vote for Mr. Dun combe. " Bless me !" exclaimed Tom, on going into the next house, and seeing a fat, chubby, and very dirty child sprawling on the floor, and bawling most lustily, " Bless me ! what a beautiful child ! how graceful are its movements, how musical its voice ! Of that child you, my lovely Mrs. Timkins, must be the parent ; it is the counterpart of you. Talking of children, by the by, reminds me that I have to ask you to ask Mr. Timkins to vote for me at the next elec tion. You will do so, will you not ? Oh ! I knew you would ; thank you, thank you, my dear madam, thank you." " What! my old and valued friend Jenkins," said Tom, on entering the residence of that gentleman, " How are you, my dear friend, how are you ?" " Sir !" exclaimed Mr. Jenkins, drawing himself up, and looking coldly on his visitor, for Mr. Jenkins was a clerk in one of the govern ment offices at a salary of Xl2O per annum, and Mr. Jenkins was accordingly a little exclusive in his notions, and as he did not remember his visitor, was not disposed at first to encourage much familiarity. "Is it possible! continued Tom, " that. you can have forgotten when we were at school together ? Ah ! those happy days!" (Tom, be it observed, was educated at Eton. and Mr. Jenkins at the charity school of St. Some body in the city). " But I am sure, my dear Jenkins, that you will give me your vote and influence at the next election." " Can't say," said Mr. Jenkins, " can't say, un til I k now what political principles you entertain." " Very right, my . dear friend, very right; would to heaven that every elector acted in the same way ! would to heaven they took you for their pattern ! My opinions , my dear friend, are patriotic— atgrind the vitals of the p oor ; they sup • • d the march of mind ; they ad vocate the t p h ort is, ed o t c h a e t y i o n b j a e n c I to advancing intelligence of the age, and are based on the im movable basis of patriotism. Sir, I hold that every man must act in accordance with the convictions of his own mind ; may even go so far as to say, the dictates of his own consci ence. From these premises, then, what other conclusion can follow than that the march of mind must march on and not stand still? Yes, Sir, we shall live to see that day when in tellect will assert its supremacy, and come to the rescue of Magna Charta from the insidious approaches of the Bill of Rights. This brings me to the question of the Corn Laws as connected with the proposed system of National Education, and here I would observe, in the words of the great Roman poet, _ . ` P Let man only act t te o n m t a h r a i b t u p s r i t r r i c i p u l u e n a t n u d r in t h a e s c R u e l a dices.' Bill will then be immutable. Having thus detailed my views on these great questions, I have only to observe that I am a Reformer, and that I would reform every thing and any thing, from an old shoe up to the Constitution. These are my sentiments, and I glory in them. I see by your intelligent look that you perfectly understand them, and that you will oblige me with your vote." "En !" said Jenkins, with a sadly puzzled look Oh—yes—ah—that's just my way of thinking. Sir, I shall be most happy to vote for you." Why, Duncombe," said one of his friends, " what non sense you talk to be sure, and how you butter the women." " All human natur and soft sawder," as Sam Slick calls it, said Tom. '`All right, my friend!" And all right it was for Mr. Tom, for by a liberal use of " human natur and soft sawder" he contrived to creep into the representation of Finsbury, very much to his own satis- A. T. T. Y. faction.

BANKING TO THE EDITOR OF THE ATLAS Edinburgh. 27th July, 1840 SIR,—I have lately suggested a scheme for the 'regulation of Joint-Stock Banks ; and I have done.so after much con sideration, and, I must add, a perfect knowledge of the sub ject. As you designate yourself " The Banking and Mone tary Atlas !" I thought you were, of all others, likely to favour a plan of which the first object is stability ; and I have accordingly sent you copies of the papers in which my obser vations appeared, regularly as they were published. And how have you received this ? Not by giVing my plan, as was your duty as an impartial journalist ;—not even by honestly, though covertly, combating any thing objectionable in it; but by attaching my words to schemes which I utterly repu diate and detest, and seeming to conquer what you never venture to bring in sight. For example, I strenuously argue against a SOLI BANK OF ISSUE, and I have given reasons which ought to be conclu sive. lat the same time contend, as I seven years ago pub licly contended, for NUMEROUS AND INDEPENDENT BANKS OF ISSUE. But I insist, first, that the issues of these banks shall be limited to a fair proportion of the circulation con sidered necessary for the purposes of the country; and, next, that this amount, whatever it may be decided it ought to be, shall be guaranteed, by the deposit, of security in the public funds, to the extent of one-half the issues proposed to be made ; this, security to be intangible by the banks, while currency continues to be issued upon the faith of it ; and upon their ceasing to issue, to be re-delivered, one hundred pounds of security for every two hundred pounds of notes retired (that being their original ratio), until the whole shall be retired. For these, and for all the other regulations I have pro posed (and they are just SEVEN), I have given reasons which show them to be as just as they are necessary ; and I have in all events spoken so clearly, that it is impossible for any one not to understand and judge what I have said. You evi dently object both to the proposal to limit the issues, and to secure them. Ido not say you do this in " ignorance," or froin a desire to he " mischievous,"—though it •will speedily be seen I might be justified. There is another alternative; but I shall not mention even that ;—I shall merely show what you have done. In Your paper of 25th instant, you speak as follows : " There are men calling themselves practical, who are so wholly and vehemently opposed to the principle of numerous banks of issue, as to question almost the solidity of any bank issuing notes of its own, except the Bank of England ; which, because the greater part of its capital is in the hands of go vernment, is supposed thereby to hold out an undoubted guarantee for the stability of its issues." Now, lam not opposed to the principle of numerous banks ; on the con trary, I expressly contend for it upon every ground; but I do contend that these issues should be limited, and guaran teed as those of the Bank. of England are guaranteed. Yet you evidently refer to me in this and throughout your argu ment ; for you immediately after quote my words, and refer to my illustrations, and no other. " Such men (you con tinue) will inquire with amazing profundity, " if the circula tion of banks is not limited, how can it be regulated in amount, or rendered safe by guarantee ?" These are my words ' • "and going on to ask, What security can the public have, that the most stately and apparently prosperous banks, are not things of straw ?' (which are also my words) " will sagely endea vour" (you go on to say)' "to answer their own ignorant interrogatories, and corroborate their mischievous insinua tions, by allusions to the Agricultural and Commercial Bank of Ireland, the Northern and Central Bank of England, and the Commercial Bank of England :"—the three establish ments to which I have alluded, though I might have alluded to many more. " There is no reassiing (you say) with such persons upon particular facts : their views are so distorted that the labour would be profitless ;"—an assumption ut terly unfounded in my case, but very likely to be applicable to those who, having a particular interest in view, must do their little possible to carry that, regardless in the mean time of any thing else. " But in reference to. the first question" (you continue), " it may may be answered, that the circulation of all banks is limited,—except that of the Bank of England." How? " By the very principle WE wish to see introduced in London —competition." Now, this is any thing but an efficient mode of limiting, as we see in America ; where, as I have men tioned, the circulation of banks is more depreciated than the assignats of the most profligate governments. It is a princi ple, I add, that never acts till the mischief has been done in times of prosperity; and in times that are in the slightest degree otherwise, is always acting the inverse way, viz. in destroying, by absurd caution, those whom it has brought into peril by equally absurd confidence. " Were there numerous joint-stock banks of issue (you persist), the circulation of the Bank of England would be, very effectually and usefully limited." Doubtless; and who would limit the issues of the substitutes ? BOTH must be limited, if the circulation is, in times of prosperity, to be kept of a rational amount ; and neither should be limited in times that are otherwise, by panics on the part of the public, or paralysis, from the apprehension of such, on the part of the banks. • The circulation of banks should be, at all times, limited to what may be deemed a fair amount ; and, within that limit, there should be perfect freedom on the part of the banks, and perfect fearlessness on the part of the public. I have endeavoured to provide for both these. I add, that without them we can never have a circulation approaching to soundness, but a substance which every adventurer may de preciate at pleasure, and of which neither the amount nor the valu can be even guessed at. " With respect to i = lle;ecoiiri question" (you continue), " it is answered generally, that the public have all the secu rity for the issues of joint-stock banks which it is necessary for them to have;—and this has been so often explained in these columns, that it would be a waste of time to recapi tulate it." Now, I would briefly say, in answer to this, that at this moment the public has not an atom of security for the transactions of any joint-stock bank, or any other bank in England, beyond that afforded by the prudence and honour of directors. The apparent capital may be of millions, with one pound per share paid up ; half of that again drawn out by the parties per contract ! and bills to any amount, and of no value whatever, discounted on the faith of the balance ; and neither ability nor inclination in any quarter to make good any ultimate loss !—Banks are shown to hive existed upon this principle, and to have been thus conducted ; and give them full swing, and they will never he upon any other principle. Why should they ? " The failures of one or two institutions from mismanagement, do not" (you say) " furnish any argument against joint-stock banking.''—And I answer, Certainly not against joint-stock banking, properly founded and conducted ; but the failure of even one bank, from mis management, or the possible failure of any bank, sufficiently justifies the public in insisting for guarantees against it. Why, in a matter of such public interest, and that, in its operation, must affect indirectly the fortunes of every one, whether they will or not, and may directly affect the fortunes of many, why proceed in it as if it were a mere private mat ter, and respecting which every one might judge for himself? The idea is utterly indefensible. " With regard - to the danger apprehended from unlimited issues, or issues without security given to the government, it is a very well-known fact, that the public have never lost one farthing by the. suspension of any Joint-Stock Bank. The public creditor has always been paid in full." I shall not dispute this as to England because I do not know whether it is the fact or not ; but I know it has happened otherwise in Scotland, and that more than once, and also very recently. That ultimate payment might be rendered nearly certain, I admit ; and no plan, I think, seems more likely to effect this, than the plan 1 propose. But, at present, there is no thing approaching such a guarantee. But, supposing ultimate payment assured, is th e i n t er i m confusion that always follows from the suspension of a bank, nothing? How many may be ruined by the temporary dis order? or compelled to part with property at the greatest loss to avert it? And how often is ultimate payment to the public, effected by the ruin of many families of the partners of banks,—by those having means being compelled to pay for those who had none ? Even in Scotland, shares in banks that were never worth more than £lOO, have caused a loss to the holders of three thousand pounds I This I state from perfect knowledge—a thing of which you seem perfetly inno cent. And this loss to respectable partners of such esta blishments, or liability to the innocent families of partners, coupled with the confusion that inevitably follows to the public from the suspension of banks, whether there is nominal ultimate loss or not,—these alone would be sufficient to ren der the guarantee I have proposed seem necessary. But when we add the certainty of loss that awaits the public, from the present imperfect system, if introduced into a great, and busy, and unsuspeeting community, aguarantee of issues becomes unavoidable. And as to . a limit, it must be found if there is a guarantee; for the one is impossible without the other ; and there should be a limit whether there is a guarantee or not ; unless, instead of occasional depressions in the value of money, it should be rendered at last of no value—till brought back, as by Sir Robert Peel's bill, by a violent reaction ; to the ruin of all holding property, and the enrichment of the casual holders of this depreciated money. In taking up this question, as in taking up every public question, I have thought of only one thing—the interest of the public. I have spoken as openly and explicitly as I could, and I have given my name ; and, consequently, I expected to find the press of England, boasting as it does (and perhaps justly) its pre-eminence and perfect liberty, take up this very vital question upon its merits only, and disregarding any petty interest, or even any private interest, however impor tant. The result is yet to be seen. In the meantime, you have treated the matter in any thing but a fair manner. You have tried to dispatch me (as your countryman makes Mac beth do the grooms) in the closet, lest I might have " an gered" you by making fight on the stage. But I shall get out.

LAID OFF COACHMEN AND gua r GUARDS.—What will be mandysof coaches, who, by the be come of all the drivers and question : very , a m e s an .e y l i)f the individuals employments ; w a hil b e y fr, if any t c h o a m n ii t i o g a in nsw op e e r r t a h ti i o s n qu o lines w of railroad, will be thrown out of employment?

It is not v n er , able to expect railroad companies to make any sation" to the persons whose " vested interests" placed by steam influence in " Schedule A," nor are their een old employers, the coach proprietors, much more likely t o allow their old servants " retiring pensions"--.--it may be hoped, therefore, that parties to whom they may apply for situations, or individuals having the means of otherwise helping the " old stagers" at command, will take this friendly hint in behalf of a class of men, almost as little used to the ground as sailors themselves, and who appear likely enough to become ere long extinct as to those striking peculiarities which have so long distinguished the old English coachman and guard. THE WEATHER AND CROPS WIGAN.—The sun has at length begun to fulfil thi Most hearty wishes of the husbandman. The present week has been attended with continual sunshine, by which farmers have been enabled to cut and house their hay in the finest condition ; and we believe there is now scarcely any or no meadow grass at all standing. We hope the present fine weather will continue, as it will be of the most paramount advantage to the agriculturist.— Wigan Gazette. LANCASTER.—Nothing can be conceived more glorious than the weather for the past week. The hay harvest is fast approaching its conclusion, and the crops are heavy almost beyond example. The grain is doing admirably. The feed ing process is going on as we should expect under an un clouded sun. and the wheat fields are beginning to change colour, so that we may expect harvest earlier than we were led to anticipate a week ago ; but yet by no means so early as if the late unfavourable weather had not intervened. The general luxuriance of the crops of all kinds surpasses any thing we can remember.—Lancaster Gazette. NEWCASTLE.—The most propitious weather continues to prevail throughout the whole north of England, and it is ex pected that, even in this generally backward district, the corn harvest will partially commence within a fortnight. With further knowledge of the subject, it may now be safely stated, with respect to the wheats in the county of Northum berland, that they stand strong and healthy upon the ground, and though somewhat thin in some localities, yet the greatly increased breadth of seed cast into the ground in spring, af fords every reasonable hope that the produce will be little, if any, short of au average crop. It is admitted that under the influence of the present bright and genial atmosphere the ears are filling luxuriantly and rapidly. In the southern and mid land counties the corn harvest is in full operation, under most favourable circumstances as to quantity and quality.—New castle Journal. GLOUCESTEIL.—The beautiful weather which now prevails has excited the most cheering hopes on the subject of the harvest. Although even now an average crop cannot, per haps, be.expected, it is a source of the deepest thankfulness that, after the depressing prospects with which we were but a short time since presented, things are likely to turn out so well as, in all probability, they are about to prove. The provincial papers received this week are unanimous in re presenting the state of the crops as being very greatly im proved. From North Wilts the accounts are very favoura ble, and a full average crop is spoken of in many localities. —Gloucestershire Chronicle. BRISTOL.—For the past week we have been blessed with a most favourable change of weather, and there is now every prospect of its continuance. The harvest bids fair to be an average one, and of good quality.—Bristol Standard. . ISLE or MAN.—We have had a week of most delightful weather ; the atmosphere being close and warm, with a due portion of sunshine. • As a matter of course the hay harvest has advanced most rapidly, and we may confidently state that for years past more hay has not been placed under cover in such fine condition as has been secured in this district since this day week. The meadows, which have not yet been generally cut; are every where ready for the scythe; and, should the present weather continue another week, the hay harvest in this island will be brought to a close. The grain as well as the potatoe and turnip crops are all deriving the greatest advantage from the delightful change that has taken place in the state of the atmosphere, of which there is every prospect ofacoutinuance.—Manz Liberal. NORTH WALES.-Our neighbours in North Wales arc forwarder than in South Cheshire. In Anglesey, barley and oats were cut at the close of last week, and in fair condition. On Wednesday we saw mown barley on the Denbighshire coast, and sheared wheat between Rhyddlan and St. Asaph. One week's genial sun has quite changed the face of the country. The crops look healthy and full of profit '• we trust the farmers will not be disappointed. In Cheshire, however, matters are not so promising, though we believe that they are likely to be better than expected a fortnight since.— Chester Chronicle. IRELAND.—A series of weather more favourable to the growth—the filling and ripening of all manner of agricultural produce—it is impossible for the imagination to conceive, or the heart to desire. Ireland is at this moment one garden of human aliment unrivalled in quality, and almost inexhaus tible in abundance. We want no element but time to harvest one of the most plentiful crops that ever rewarded human industry, or called for the grateful acknowledgments of a people for the Divine goodness which provides so richly for its creatures. Samples of fine corn have already been brought to market ; a few days more of the weather we are now blessed with, will—in the strong language of our countrymen— " crown the world."--Dublin Evening Mail. NOBLE SPECIMEN OF OATS.—We had brought to our office on Thursday last, half-a-dozen stalks of oats plucked from a field occupied by Mr. R. Fairclough, at Farington, which when standing upright measured the extraordinary length of six feet eleven inches. We understand that no very nice selection had been made to procure the tallest,.for al though the crop is nearly a ten statute acre one, the whole stands at a height, averaging at least six feet. The specimen brought was a really magnificent one.—Preston Pilot. EXTRAORDINARY SALE OF CROPS.—At the sale by auc tion, on Thursday last, of growing crops, the property of Mr. Richd. Adams, at East Ham, Essex, the wheats fetched from £l9. to £l5. 15s. per acre ; oats from £l6. ss. to £lB. potatoes, from £26. 10s. to £33. 10s.; and onions from £22. to £24. 10s. per acre, making an average upon the whole produce, upon a considerable quantity of land, of upwards of £23. per acre—a circumstance rarely or never before known to take place in the neighbourhood, and from which it may be reasonably inferred that a confidence is felt amongst agri culturists that the produce of the soil is likely to retain its present high prices.—Chelmsford Chronicle.

The demand continues extremely limited, and there are no sales this week worthy of notice in any description of East or West India.—Foreign Sugar.

There has been a steady demand for Plantation, and the sales comprise ZOO casks of Jamaica, at very full rates, and in some instances, particularly in the fine qualities, an advance of :is to 4s was realized, several lots of extra fine, of favourite marks, having brought !46s to 150 s 6d per cwt. Nothing done in Foreign. Giucer.—A small lot of fine Jamaica sold at &g. and 200 bags Malabar at 14s per cwt. 2000 bags Gnayaquil Cocoa have been disposed of at a price not named, 140 bags Pimento at 2-Id, and 300 bags black pepper at ad to 4jd per lb.

Tea.—During the week a heavy business has been done, both for speculation and home-use, at our quotetions ; the market closes quiet, but very firm. A few chests of Fig Indigo are reported at Is td, 4 serons Cochineal, at 5s 6d for black and 4s 6 for silver, 3 serons Granilla at Is, and some East India Gum Arabic at 50s.

The late imports of Montreal Pot Ashes go oil rather freely, at 24s gd to 25s from the quay. Pearl Ashes are in very limited demand, at 318 per cwt. Hides.—We have no alteration to notice in salted Monte Video, for vv hick there continues a fair demand, at steady prices ; dry salted Brazils sold briskly, at rather better rates, 2800 having brought 50 to 60 at aucton, and a small lot of dry nci for sound ; 157 dry salted New Orleans are also reported at 50, 500 wet salted at 3-Id, 500 New York at 4d, 350 Jamaica at 6-3 d to 6jd, 700 rubbed East India Kips at 61d to 70 per lb, and 250 salted Monte Video Horse at 12s each. The sales of Tobacco amount to 130 hhds., in- eluding a few for Ireland, with a parcel of very low and about 200 bales of Cuba for export ; prices are without a change, and the market firm. There appears to be a limited demand for Brimstone, the con sumption of which, owing to the increasing us of Pyrites, has been much lessened ; the stocks here out of the hands of the Coin- Patty are nearly exhausted; the sales of the week are are about 80 tons.—Sicily Sumac goes off steady, without change in prices ; other sorts dull of sale. There has been a fair demand for Argols and Cream of Tartar, the latter article has reached 845 per cwt. More inquiry for Berries has led to the sale of a few Persian, at rather better prices. For Galls also some inquiry, with small sales at previous rates. A parcel of 13 casks Annatto has been sold at 9.id per lb. The demand for Madders and Roots continues moderate ; do bales Turkey and irio bales French Roots brought former rates. In Madders the sales are trifling. The transactions reported in Bark comprise 180 hhds.. at 12s for Baltimore, ad 13 per cwt. for Philadelphia. Olive Oil continues in fair request, with some tendency to higher prices ; the sales of the week have reached do tuns, and most of the holders are now demanding an advance upon the previous currency. A considerable improvement has taken place in Seal Oil, a cargo of about 90 tuns having sold from the ship-side at £2B per tun for pale, and numerous inquiries have appeared for smaller parcels, but having been met by a demand of £3O, 110 other transactions are reported; in other kinds of Fish Oils a corresponding advance is generally required, but nothing of moment appears to have been done, the stock being chiefly in the hands of the dealers. Seed Oils have also improved, Linseed having been sold during the last few days at 29s to 30S per cwt. For pale c Rape, 40s is required, and indeed at these advanced rates there are few sellers. Oil of Turpentine has further declined 205 to 30s per ton, with a very limited demand. Pahu-Oil.—Early in the week sales were made at £36 7s 6d to £36 los, but subsequently, advices having been received of the total loss of a cargo or about 500 tons, which was daily expected to arrive at this port, more demand appeared, and about 400 tons have been sold at £37 to 37 10, pert for arrival. Hemp has experienced a further advance, sales of Petersburg clean having effected at £'3B Its to £39, and holders now demand £4O per ton ; about 300 bales Jute have been disposed of at £l2, 145 bales Sunn at £l6, and 58 bales ordinary Bombay at £l5 10s per ton. In Flax no sales reported. The stock of Tallow held here being in few hands, the market has continued steady at 535 6d for Petersburg yellow candle, at which about 200 casks have been taken at a small lot to arrive at 52s per cwt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. AUGUST 7 The continuance of favourable weather has dispelled all fears for the fate of the harvest, and bus imparted greater confidence to the market though unattended for the present with any improvement in prices deservingof notice. The demand has been regular and extensive throughout the week from the Trade, as well as from Speculators and for export, and the qualities in American below have realized the extreme rates of last week. No change has taken place in Brazil, or in other descriptions; the quotations, therefore, remain without any alteration. The public sale of Sea Island to-day was but thinly attended, and of 700 bags offered, 540 bags were disposed of, at prices on a par with those of the public sale of the 31st ult. Speculators have taken 11,500 bales of American and exporters 1000 bales American, 50 Persian and 200 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the Ist instant, to this day, inclusive.
