In a word, the propriety of not committing the political destinies of the country into the hands of penniless pretenders seems to be pretty generally admitted. But while it is clearly desirable that the counterfeit class in question should be allowed to drop from the registry as fast as their own alacrity in sinking will permit, we are far from insinuating that all bona fide voters who happen to be in pinched circumstances should be indiscriminately handed over to the same state. When we see men not over-fortunate in the world arraying themselves on opposite sides of politics, the fair presumption is, that where the stakeless ruin monger is intent upon changes incompatible with the interests of trade and the rights of property, the un affluent and even straitened supporters of the existing constitution, though temporarily unable to meet the fiscal demands which they so cordially approve of, are, nevertheless, desirous, like the Conservative operatives, of doing all they can to uphold social order and the organic framework of the country. We humbly sub mit, then, that this latter class are deserving of all possible support and encouragement. Throughout the electoral districts there are occa sionally to be found zealous Conservatives in straitened circumstances, who, unless they, receive timely assist ance, will be in danger of losing their franchise. Now, in all their vicinities there are opulent constitutional residents who, at the sacrifice of a mere bagatelle, might prevent the names of such persons from being erased from the roll. What we humbly, but earnestly recommend, therefore, is, that the wealthier Conser vatives should, in case of absolute necessity, some times assist their poorer brethren by paying their taxes either in whole or in part, and either by gift or loan, as a sound discretion may suggest. Among the smaller constituencies, where approaching contests are expected to run close, the outlay of two or three hun dred pounds in the way we have suggested would secure Conservatives members. It is true, no doubt, that the same sort of battle is quite as open to the Whigs ! but, happily, the needful ammunition is not always, to the same extent, at their disposal. Of course, the prudence and propriety of acting upon this hint must be judged of in each particular case. Among numerous and poor constituencies it would be wholly impracticable to attempt it; but in those smaller bo roughs, wherein the constitutional cause is likely to be endangered by any anticipated defalcations in the pay ment of taxes, we trust that the local gentry and regis tration committees will do every thing in their power •to avert such a serious evil. Liberal candidates, hap pening to possess the means, have adopted this policy in several successful instances. The Conservatives must fight with their own weapons. Remember, once for all, that a general election may be not far distant, and that the twentieth of July is at our door. ARE THE WEST INDIA COLONIES TO BE PRESERVED ? A FEW PLAIN FACTS ; SHOWING THE NECESSITY 07 IM MIGRATION INTO BRITISH GUIANA AND THE WEST INDIES, AND THE UTTER FUTILITY OF ALL EFFORTS TOWARDS THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY AND THE SLAV! TRADE WHICH DO NOT INCLUDE THIS. Addressed more particularly to the Legislature, The long-pending question of the propriety of introducing free labour into the British West India colonies, is to be brought forward, it is expected, in the House of Commons, on the 30th inst. [June] ; and although all parties appear to be aware of the present peculiar situation of those colonies — although it has been admitted in that assembly, by every one who has taken the pains to inform himself upon the subject, that they can be preserved and rendered available to the mother-country, only by the extensive immigration of free men, and the adoption of free labour, the difficulty, strange to say, yet arises, whether the enactment of measures for the attainment of such objects may not, in some degree, in terfere with that which is now engrossing the attention of humanity all over the globe—the utter abolition of slavery and the slave-trade. Fallacy has been heaped upon fallacy, sophistry upon sophistry, until the public mind has become bewildered between objects so important and imperative. With a view to dispel this cloud of perplexity, the writer ventures to offer the following observations ; containing, he conceives, a sufficiently clear statement of the case, and pointing out the means by which every interest may be re conciled, and the calls of humanity met. At the same time, he may be permitted to say, that though himself a native of the West Indies, he has not, nor ever had, any property or interest in any one of them. _ . That the great experiment of negro emancipation has ut terly and lamentably failed, is a fact long since notorious. The horrors and cruelties of the African slave-trade, instead of abating, have been aggravated by that " experiment" al most beyond calculation. The number of human beings shipped from the shores of Africa for the slave-holding states of Spain, of Portugal, of Brazil, and—O tell it not in Gath, tell it not in Ascalon—for the liberty-boasting republic of North America, has been increased, since the Emancipation Act, to actually double what it was before ; while - the enor mities inflicted upon these wretched creatures—the severi ties, the barbarities, unheard of as they were—have been augmented in proportion. Not long ago, a small schooner, measuring forty-three tons, carried into dock at Liverpool, had on board, when captured, no less than 320 slaves ! The confinement of so many in so small a space reminds one of a certain tragedy enacted at the Black-hole of Calcutta. We have had an instance, too, more recently, of a vessel being taken off the coast of Africa, in which nearly 400 were found dead from suffocation ! With such appalling facts, no won der that the chances of the slaves arriving at their destina tion should be so lightly estimated, that in Portuguese and Spanish America the rates of insurance have fallen as low as from seven and a half to twelve per cent. ! But this is not all. It is not alone the Spanish, nor the Portuguese, nor the Americans, who are laughing to scorn our efforts to abolish this nefarious traffic. It appears that the French, under convoy of national armed vessels, have taken, and are still taking, slaves to Cayenne, from a new depot on the coast of Africa, purchased (or perhaps it is termed hired) for a period of fourteen years. The atrocity of this proceeding needs no comment. Suppose these slaves liberated at the expiration of the specified term, how many will be living to relate the tale of woe ? The Dutch renewed their slaves once in about eight to ten years ; and it is stated by Mr. O'Connell, that seven years is the cult average term of slave-life : here, then, we have just double the term of life for a state of bondage exacted, and that, when the uni versal voice of execration is raised against so ►monstrous a system. I dwell upon this offence the more, as it is com mitted on the part of a nation who are among the loudest in the asseverations of their abhorrence of slavery. Meanwhile the petty States, who are still pursuing their iniquitous career, are flourishing, while British Colonial Commerce—at least in that part of the world—is menaced with utter ruin. _ _ That class of persons who were most ardent in their ex pectations of the glorious change which their too glowing fancy pictured as the result of emancipation, sorely, bitterly disappointed, are now, with a power great for good or for evil, directing their undivided attention to the civilization of the savages of the interior of Africa. Vain project ! The main body of the army is sent on in advance, while the enemy is in ambush. Could these philanthropic, but short-sighted, indiiiduals be induced to reflect on the probable conse quences of the course they are pursuing, they would find that they are only giving greater opportunities to the foreign slave-holders and slave-traders for the prosecution of this abominable traffic—that they are, in effect, offering higher premiums upon slave-grown produce. In this extremity of affairs—the atrocious slave trade, on the one hand, carried on with increased and still increasing vigour, and, on the other, the interests of the West India Colonists jeopardized, and their property hanging upon a thread—the legislature is called upon to interpose. Nor is it any mere consideration of mercy, or even of policy, that requires the exercise of its authority. Justice—that justice due by it to the subjects of the State with whose conduct it is entrusted—demands that it should, without delay, adopt measures for the preservation of the integrity of her Majesty's dominions in the West Indies. For, it needs no extraor dinary perspicacity to foresee that, if the present state of things be suffered to continue, the cultivation of those colo nies must, ere long, cease ; the commercial intercourse they have hitherto maintained with the mother-conntry will be destroyed, and all British property in them swept away. Already have the crops fallen off one-half; and the price of sugar, (British plantation,) raised from twenty-three and a half to forty-five shillings. At this moment a petition lies before parliament, praying fur the admission of foreign sugar —that is, slave-grown sugar—for home consumption ! Many estates in Demerara have, moreover, been abandoned, while the negroes are becoming landed proprietors ! The capitals in the West Indies are, indeed, rapidly dwindling away. " They would," observes a judicious writer,* " entirely perish in one year, if the produce of slave holding countries were allowed to compete with that of the West Indies in the home market. But this competition is highly probable. Sugar is almost as much a necessary in Britain as bread ; and as the corn-laws are always relaxed when scarcity threatens, so we may be sure that, happen what may in consequence, the duty on foreign sugar will be lowered as soon as ever the price shall be sufficient to check consumption materially. The capitals of the West Indies are, so to speak, kept alive by the present high price of pro duce in this country ; and as this high price arises from the diminution of supply occasioned by the scarcity of labour in the colonies, it may be said, that the scarcity of labour com pensates the planter in one direction for the evil which it oc casions him in another. [This may appear plausible on a prima facie view of the subject; but the fact is, nine-tenths of the avails of the produce have gone to the labourer; very few of the estates being enabled to pay their current ex penses, even at the increased prices.] The monopoly of the British market, in a word, is essential to the growth of sugar in the West Indies with the present scarcity of labour. But as the effect of the monopoly is to raise the price just in proportion as the supply decreases continually, the doom of the monopoly appears to be sealed. Judging from a variety of indications, we should say that it will scarcely last over another year. Within a year of its abolition, the capitals of, the West Indies vanish, unless a great immigration of la bourers should take place in the meanwhile." H er e, then, are the means of reconciling every interest, and, at the same time, carrying out the true principles of emancipation. Let government, while it insists to the utmost on the observance of its treaties with other nations for the suppression of the slave trade, adopt measures for the exten sion of inter-tropical agriculture, by encouraging free labour and immigration into the West Indies, especially Guiana, which, in the richness of its soil, the salubrity of its climate, and its general natural advantages, is not excelled by any other country on the globe. Immigration—free, unre stricted immigration from all parts of the world—can alone save this fine colony from' impending ruin; while, by con ducing to a more general and productive cultivation, it affords the only chance of rendering slave labour unprofitable ; and no one will deny, that to undersell the latter would tend at least as effectually to check its progress, as the efforts, how ever praiseworthy, of Christian missionaries and anti-slavery societies. To seek to put down slavery by establishin g a commercial intercourse with the natives of the interior of Africa, may appear plausible enough, and no one can o b j ect to attempting th e exper i ment; but are the West India colo nies, in the mean time, to be neg lected ? The render in g available these our possessio n s is not only perfectly com patible with the suppression of the evil, but is, in fa ct, only method by which emancipation can 'be hoped to be a s root , tre only en tirely and successfully consummated : it • on which we can rely for attacking at the is the and tearing up and casting to the winds, the foul up slave trade. . . resource of.thth A few words, in passing, as to Guiana.

Its fertilityascarcely one that, on the authori t y of Sir Andr e w Hallida, is so grea t, alone furnish sug ar, molasses, rum, coffee, sufficient for the whole world, and still have bring into cultivation." Without going the length of this to au thor, it is but just to observe that even in the m ost adverse seasons, labourers can raise, upon that portion of the soil allotted to them, an ample subsistence for them and their families, in yams, cassada, rice, corn, plantains, and several other articles, and have a surplus too for, sale. Sir J. * Vide Colonial Gazette, June 17, 1840. Carmichael Smyth, (the late governor) has said, 4 ‘ this magnificent country will, for ages tc come, amply repay the capitalist, and enable him to propioy anynumber of labourers." These statements have been fully confirmed by other re sidents and travellers in Guiana, particularly by Dr. Hancock, by the Rev. Mr, Isaacson, Mr. Schomburgk, and Mr. &chic. The claims of the colonists of Guiana and the West Indies, however, rest upon still higher grounds : their markets are monopolized (as in accordance with national policy they ought to be) by the manufacturers and artificers of Great Britain ; the manufactures of no other country being allowed admission. Accordingly, the whole of the proceeds or value of colonial produce is either centred in her, or taken off in manufactures ; while foreign produce is for the most part drawn out in money, enriching foreigners at the expense of John Bull, who thus unintentionally contributes to the perpetuation of the slave trade. Indeed, the West Indies, being altogether con suming colonies, are entitled to even a greater protection than Eastern India, since the latter is itself a manufacturing country. Nay, many of the manufacturers of the latter are now interfering with those of the mother country ; and a considerable proportion of its agricultural productions are paid for in specie, whereas, already stated, West India pro duce is paid in wares and manufactures. These facts have been very ably set forth in a memorial recently presented to her Majesty's government, by certain gentlemen from Demerara. Previously to the year 1830, the West Indian colonies furnished 100,000 hogheads of sugar more per annum than at present ; not only fully meeting the demand for home con sumption, but leaving a surplus of 40,000 hogsheads for ex portation in a refined state : thereby supplying the means of paying for a great portion of the foreign grain imported into this country, which has now to be paid for in gold. Immigration, then, being allowed to be the only means by which the cultivation of the West India colonies can be kept up, the question arises—in what quarter of the world are we to look for free men, who will do the work which hitherto has been done by slaves ? And in reviewing this question, the condition in life of the individuals whose labour is sought must be the first consideration. The Hill Coolies, an oppressed and miserable race inhabiting India—perhaps the most oppressed and wretched on the face of the earth* — have been suggested; 419 of them have 'already been introduced into Guiana—not twenty thousand, as a noble and learned lord has been represented to ,say in the upper house. The conduct of these labourers has not belied the hopes that were entertained of them. Much, it is true, was said, at first, of their treatment; but if some difficulties did arise; owing probably to inexperience, they were soon corrected by the local authorities, and the Coolies have now become perfectly satisfied with their condition. They per form their work with cheerfulness and alacrity ; are well behaved ; and many of them have affirmed, that when their indentures shall have expired, they will go to Calcutta and return with their families. Anunto Ram, the head sirdar, remarks, " I have only my father and mother in India, and I will go to Calcutta at any time my master wishes, and return with plenty of these people : they would be glad to come here" t Governor Light, in a recent despatch to the Colonial Office, writes—" I am convinced that, under proper regula tions as to sexes and location, the natives of India might be safely introduced here, to the great amelioration of their own condition and the undoubted benefit of the province, which only requires labourers to make it a second India." Objections, however, have been raised to the emigration of these people to the West Indies ; and in the recent dis cussion in the House of Commons, on the third reading of the Colonial Passengers' Bill, they were most of them re peated, in a manner which indicated that Honourable Members had not duly inquired into the facts of the case. — at least, as regards Guiana : facts which, in sooth, would have been found to admit of no one tenable objection for a moment. Not that that discussion was unfavourable to emigration—far otherwise : it was only the details, upon which so much difference of opinion arose. In time the pear will be ripe. The most material—nay, the only objections which have been advanced,with any sort of effect, refer, first, to the length of the voyage ; and, secondly, to the absence of any guarantee that the freedom of the immigrants shall be maintained inviolate. In answering these objections, the writer must avow his ignorance of what has been done on the subject by Jamaica, Barbadoes, or any of the insular Colonies. He comes forward on the part of Guiana, whose claims for an immigration ordinance are too well supported to be endangered by any objection that cant or sophistry can invent. At the same time, he must be allowed to protest against such concession being made to any one Colony in particular, and the rest being interdicted from participation in it. All, or none, deserve justice. As to the length of the voayge, then, from Hindostan to Guiana—this is so futile and ridiculous an objection, that the wonder is that it could have entered the brain of any one in this age of enterprise and steam. Is it feared that the sea-air will be too powerful a stimulus to the attenuated and broken down constitutions of the half-starved Coolies? It is well known that the inconvenience of a sea voyage is only felt within the first few days after embarkation; and when passengers are embarked in good and comfortable vessels, and this inconvenience overcome, it is of little con sequence whether the voyage be six or twelve weeks. It is said that the regulated emigration of poor people to Australia is far less injurious to health than the neglected emigration of the same class to Canada, only a quarter of the distance. Again, as to the second objection—it is admitted that the Cooties will have left their homes, not on compulsion, but by persuasion, and by the offer of a better and more endurable condition than that to which they had been accustomed ; but it is stated, in one influential quarter in particular, that " a guarantee is necessary, against their pining in a foreign land, destitute of all means of returning, without a friend, or per haps a countryman, to advocate their rights, and, finally, compelled to labour on terms which it would be absorb not to call slavery."l: Such langua"e, to say the least, argues great ignorance of the acts and proceedings of the Local Legislatuie of Guiana. The colonists distinctly repudiate all intentions of undue advantage ; and the means they pro pose to employ are sufficiently indicative of their sincerity. They seek for labourers in that part of the world where the inhabitants are most abject and wretched, and where, one should think, an exchange of situation, however slightly beneticial,•could not but be gladly accepted. Having, then, induced a certain number of them to depart, accompanied, as many as prefer it, with their wives and families, (for, on this head all restrictions are studiously avoided,) they permit these poor creatures, on their arrival in the colony, unfettered by any indentures or acts of apprenticeship, to choose their own employers and employment at the current rate of wages ; which, it ought to be known, are as high in Guiana as in any part of the world. In addition to this, houses, provision grounds, medicine, medical attendance, and religious instruc tion, are allowed them ; and the colonial government have agreed to provide for four magistrates, (understanding the Hindostanee language,) to act as protectors over them, at a salary of £7OO per annum each. Lastly, in the event of their being dissatisfied with the change, their passage back to India is guaranteed them ; funds having been placed in the hands of the governor of the colony for this purpose. In short, the colonists are well aware that the existence and ultimate pros perity of British Guiana, as of every other West India colony, depend on the labourers being rendered contented and happy, that they may become permanent settlers ; and in all they have done it is evident they have kept this in view. To ob viate difficulties, however, it might, if thought necessary, be proper to enact some regulations, to be administered by a proper and responsible authority in the colony. The writer need scarcely remark here, on the contrast which such a system of free-labour must present to that at present employed, in too many instances, at home. Another proposition yet remains to be noticed ; namely, that those Africans who have been captured in slave-trading vessels should be transferred to the colonies in want of immi grants, where, it is said, they would make a large and valuable addition to free labour. This, indeed, would appear to be a proposition inconsistent with everything that has been exhi bited of the negro character since the emancipation ; yet, so necessary has labour become for keeping up the cultivation, that the planters would gladly avail themselves even of this resource, however precarious or inefficient it may ultimately prove. In this discussion, it is justly said, there are four inter ests to be kept in view :—" that of the labourers, that of the colonists, that of the English manufacturer, and that of the revenue." Now, it is the very reconcilement and adjust ment of these interests that recommend the plan of immi gration in question ; for, in the first place, as already shewn, the labourers—free labourers be it recollected—will be fed, clothed, nurtured, and in every respect attended to, with a care which even the peasantry of Great Britain might envy; while, should they desire to return to India, a free passage will be allowed them : the colonists, in the next place, with a vast accession of labour, will be enabled to extend cultiva tion, and thin recover their fortunes and add to their capital ; the population, augmented by immigration, will have, as a necessary sequence, a greater and still increasing call for the productions of the English manufacturer, and a market for the same, even more extensive than that which has hereto fore existed in the colonies, great as it was, will be established ; and lastly, the revenues of the mother-country will be en hanced by the improved supply of the various articles of tro pical produce, a supply sufficient not only for her own wants, but also for exportation to foreign states, it being an axiom, that the demand for every article of consumption is in pro portion to its cheapness. Of all possible acts of the legislature, that, the writer hum bly conceives, would be the most consonant to their dignity and wisdom, which would bring a fertile colony of great ex tent, but at present waste and almost unknown, under culti- vation, and thereby render it subservient to the comforts and the wants of the mother-country, and afford an asylum to the destitute portion of an overgrown population. At the same time, this is the only plan which can furnish a means of deal ing a death-blow at the slave-trade. Should immigration, however, in the way proposed, he dis allowed—and let it not he forgotten that every moment's de lay but adds to the danger in which the colonies are now placed—the consequences will inevitably be such as may well make the philanthropist and the patriot sigh. The West Indian planter and merchant will be utterly unable to com pete with the dealers in human flesh in the foreign colonies ; their capital will be destroyed ; the colony must be abandoned ; the trade in sugar, coffee, cotton, and every other article of tropical cultivation, will fall into the hands of slave-owners, who will, no doubt, be excited by additional gains to pursue an execrable traffic with more energy than ever ; and thus the vast sacrifices Made by Great Britain, instead of relieving, will tend only to multiply the horrors and the miseries of slavery. T. H. London, .Tune 29th, 1840. * Mr. Elliott. in the House of Commons, on the 23rd inst., declared, from personal observation, that in the best seasons they had barely the means of subsistence, and that during periods of famine they perished in thousands by the road-side, infecting the air. By official accounts, it appears that five hundred thousand of these miserable beings died of hunger in 1838. t Parliamentary paper, Hill Coolies—British Guiana—p. 18. :,. Vide the Times, June 22., BANKING (From the Scottish Guardian.) TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN Edinburgh, 4th July, 1840. A. very little consideration will, I think, show the Propriety and necessity of every one of the regulations I have proposed ; and also, that they are all that are proper or necessary. First,—lf the circulation of banks is not limited, how can it be regulated in amount, or rendered safe by guarantees 1 And these are the first considerations. Next, What is the real operation that takes place in issuing notes of credit ? It is, either a temporary pledging of property, if the note' are based on property ; or it is creating a circulation wholly fictitious. The consequence of either of these is, to tend at least, to deteriorating the circulation, by increasing its amount ; and if carried to excess, to make actual capital of no value to the possessor for use in trade, and of little com parative value even for his ordinary occasions. It is hasten ing forward the industry of the country, it may be'true ; but it may be also greatly and improperly accelerating the depre ciation of the results of industry; that is, of all acquired property. By limiting the circulation of paper, to a fair and liberal amount, we avoid cramping the energies of the country on the one hand, and too rapidly depreciating acquired property on the other. We give the possessor of real capital, at least a fair chance with the favourites of banks :—we kee p real s e e tok theemployment trade and encouragement instead tthereby c oraising l i n o g p i t r i t v o a l s iwni capital other toe t c e o h e u o o n i m i t r r e a ce e equally useless. selves look that render the Second,—lt may seem hard to requ ire banks to find security for their issues. But do not th e y themselves for security ? It may seem impolitic to lock up so much of • their capital? But do they trade to any considerable extent with real capital? If they did, they would make very little by their business ; The truth is, the first thing they•them selves do, is to place not only their own capital in the funds, but as much as they can of the capital entrusted to them by others ; thereby drawing a high interest upon both, every hour; while they issue their own notes, which cost them only the stamps and paper, but for which they demand, and properly, the highest interest they can obtain, and that paid beforehand. This regulation, therefore, would in no way cramp the operations of the banks. It would only render them undoubtedly SAFE TO THE PUBLIC on the one hand, and, on the other, make THE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE UNDOUBTING IN THEM. For every one receiving or holding the note of a bank so constituted, must know, that security had been lodged in the hands of the State, for every note issued by the bank ; and security that could not be got back, until the last note of that bank had been retired. Consequently, there could be no original doubt of such a bank, and NO PANIC could be raised in reference to its circu lation at least. And the circulation of a bank is the only thing with which the public is concerned. The confidence of depositors, is a mere matter of private Confidence. It is true, the Bank of England, or some of its Directors, seem to be parading their wish to have up their capital from the State, at present, that they may lend it at a higher interest. But to whom else could they lend such a sum, even at the interest it hears, and yet have it useful, either as security, or available capital? To whom ?—Would they trade in French, Spanish, or Portuguese securities? In South American—or even in North American ? Whether they would or not, my opinion is, that they should not have the option, so long as they continue to issue notes in this country. And as to our own Funds (the only other re ' source,) they are high enough already, and something more. In short, the Bank of England should be made to continue her deposits, and other banks to imitate her example. There should be do distinction in that, nor in any other particular. On the other hand, while the Bank of England allows eleven millions of its capital to remain in the hands of the State, (for that is the amount that now remains,) and not only at a fixed amount, but at a reduced rate of interest, it has clearly claims to the consideration of the State, that other banks have not. _ _ _ _ _ Third,—Not only is it necessary that deposits should be made by banks issuing circulation, but also that these de posits should be intangible by the banks, while circulation continues to be issued upon the faith of them. What security else can the public have, that the most stately and apparently prosperous banks, are not things of STRAW ? The honour and responsibility of Directors Look at THE AGRICUL TURAL BANK OF IRELAND ! Raised for the very best pur poses, and capable of having performed the most invaluable services to that unfortunate country, and enriching its pro prietors at the same time, it has yet come to the ground, from the mere fault of its Directors and Managers. It is found, that it never had more than .£1 per share of paid up Capital! That its partners have been allowed to decline subscribing the contract, in the idea, that thereby they might evade re sponsibility f—and, that it kept no perfect books ! This ex hibition is of itself sufficient to justify all the precautions I have suggested, and the single regulation of lodging due se curity in the hands of -the State for the circulation about to be issued, would not only have guarded against loss from this establishment, but insured its prosperity, for it would have rendered the evasion of original capital impossible, and from that, all wish to avoid responsibility ; and at the same time it would have inspired such anxiety in the partners, as would have secured a careful, and consequently successful manage ment. The same remark is applicable to the NORTHERN BANE OF ENGLAND. That institution was calculated to have been one of the first in the kingdom. But in it there was the same disgraceful mismanagement. They seem there to have kept, not only one set of books but two—one to record the actual state of things, and flagrant delinquencies of the Di. rectors and Managers ; the other to gull the proprietors and the public. Nothing but extreme folly of management could have led to this deception ; and folly is not the word that can characterise the deception itself. It was in the last de gree criminal. Had the capital of this bank been less tangi ble, it would have been better managed ; and an institution would have been saved that was calculated to be every way useful. Precisely the same may be said of the COMMERCIAL BANK of MANCHESTER, even from what has been disclosed ; for that gives evidence at once of deficient capital, and the most foolish management. All these banks seem to have been raised not for the purpose of finding employment for capital, but for creating credit. The last seems to be con sidered the sole object of banks, in many modern instances. They have been carried on, too, not for the purpose of serving the public, but (the English banks in particular) for serving a certain number of overtrading capitalists, or wholly needy adventurers ; who having got possession of the little capital that was, could never return it. The end has been, not only the injury of the public, but even the discredit of banking, though these institutions have never deserved the name of banks ; having been raised without the least regard to principle, and conducted without the least regard to com mon sense. Something like this has happened in Scotland, but never to any considerable extent ; and never from want of honour in the Directors, but from over-confidence in Managers—of course one evidence of incapacity. Fourth.—The regulation of the amount of issues, by the stamps, is CERTAIN and SELF-ACTING; rendering returns to government, however trust-worthy, unnecessary ; and this should be enough. But I consider returns utterly useless; and every one must acknowledge that they are exceedingly troublesome. Fifth.--1 consider it not unjust that the deposits for re gulating and securing the issues of banks, should bear a mitigated interest to the state. Even at the rate I propose, the result would be as follows : They would receive from the STATE for every £lOO de. posited, £3 0 0 And from individuals for £2OO of notes issuing on the faith of the deposits, Together £l3 0 0 direct, on every £lOO of actual capital invested in the circu lation ; besides perpetually revolving interest, commissions for managing cash transactions, exchanges, &c., and all the other profits derivable from extensive credit. And the ex tent of these may be conceived from the fact, that hardly anything is deemed surprising that a bank or a banker may do ; and from this farther fact, that an 011 Scotti sh Num- MAKER not long dead, had conceived the idea of buying half the land of the country, and was doing so very rapidly, with the country's own money. And the annual saving to the STATE, by the mitigation of interest I have proposed, would be on thirty-three millions currency (the half of sixty-six), at two per cent, £660,000, a sum in my opinion Well worth attention ; particularly from this, that while it w ould materially assist the revenue, it would be from a source that would be benefiting both indivi duals and the public, in place of injuring them, .as too often happens in raising revenue. Sixth.—lt seems equally necessary that a security should remain of a FIXED AMOUNT, as that it should remain intan gible. This is due to the creditors of the banks. And it is also due to this every-way overburdened and pillaged com munity, that its debts should at last become like other debts, of a known amount, instead of being, as they at present are, the subject of incessant speculation, and the means of inces sant plunder. Seventh.—The distribution of the banks over the country, and with them of the power of exertion and its profits, is self-evidently proper. The concentration of capital, and profit or expenditure, is the worst and most unjust policy that can be followed. It offends against all principle ; and the government of this country has of late years offended largely in this particular. I cannot go farther in the way of explanation. I have only to repeat, therefore, and I do it with I think some knowledge of the subject, and certainly after having for many years con sidered these arrangements, both in themselves and with re ference to passing events, that I am satisfied they are equally just and necessary ; and that though we may go on as we have done, floundering from glut to panic, and from panic to glut, one day seeing money of no comparative value, and the next day property, the circulation of the country will never be upon rational principles, until it stands upon principles such as these. Even the return to gold and silver exclusively, would be more ridiculous than our present state : for it would infer an insane expense for the instruments of trade, before getting into a situation to trade ; an enormous annual ex pense for tear and wear, and, above all, from loss; a constant fluctuation in the currency, from rendering it a perpetual sub ject of speculation, utterly inevitable were the precious metals, the only materials employed ; and, finally, a decline in its value corresponding to its accumulation, that would render accumulation a thing to be avoided. It would be no wiser than the contests of Swim's Yahoos, " for useless quanti ties of yellow clay." The transaction of business even in actual bullion, would be a thing almost impossible, where the business were of the least importance. In the Spanish settlements in America, about forty years ago, bullion was the sole medium of ex change, and the consequence was, that the receiving an'a tell ing of fifty or an hundred thousand dollars, was a grievous labour. Its transport was another, and in this country could scarcely be attempted even in gold, unless accompanied to its destination, and guarded there, by detachments of troops. I must speak of some remedies proposed by others, in yet another paper. D. BAIN.

Brazil, Egyptian and Surat are dull at previous rates. 5500 American have been taken on speculation, and 1500 American and 30 Surat for export.

There has been a fair demand for Cotton to-day, the sales are 5000 bags, including 500 for speculation, and 500 for export; the market very steady. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 13 The prices of Butter are well supported, and a fair average busi. loess is transacted. Belfast we quote g4s to gtis, and similar rates are obtainable for fine Carlow and Kilkenny. Pickled Butter is selling in moderate quantities at 88s. Beef and Pork very steady both in price and demand. The latter article it is thought will be dearer. Bacon steady at 48s to 52s per cwt. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 11 The imports of British Grain, &c. for the past week are light; those of foreign produce are also moderate, the chief arrivals con sisting of 8,300 brls. Flour, 3,500 brls. from Canada. Duties have been paid upon 165 qrs. Wheat, 180 qrs. of Oats, 158 qrs. of Barley, 110 qrs. of Peas, and 470 qrs. of Peas, and 470 brls. of Flour. Up to yesterday the weather continued cold and unsettled, causing in creased activity in the corn trade and daily advancing prices. With the favourable change that has since taken place, however, we have to report somewhat less life in the demand ; but the advance previously made is fully maintained, and we raise our quotations for Wheat, since this day se'nnight, 3d to 4(1 per boll.; those of Flour is per brl. Of the latter, several thousand barrels have changed hands, in bond, at 28s to 29s per barrel.—Oats and Oat meal have been held with more firmness ; and, upon a little in crease of demand, have obtained rather higher prices : best Irish Oats 4s per 45 lbs., Oatmeal 356 to 36s per 240 lbs.—Barley still creeps up a little in value.—Beans and Peas as last noted.
