OUGHT THE COMMITTEE NOW SITTING ON THE BANK ACT TO BE OPEN? TO THZ =TOR OF TUX NORTHERN TIERS. Sir,—Will you favour me with a small space in your columns to say a few words on this important question ? The time has now arrived for an in. query into the working of the Bank Act of 1844 The importance that ministers attach to it is very evident ; for it appears that.a greater part of this session will be frittered away in considering the Divorce Bill—a matter that affects none but them solves; therefore the public must combine,an d insist on the Committee of Inquiry, now sitting on the Bank Act, being in justice to the people open. That the practical men engaged in commercial pursuits, may give their opinions on the evidence that is elicited. Ido not see that any blame can be attached to the Chancellor, as he expressed him. 3 self willing to concede to the wishes of the houss. That house has been unfaithful to its trust, and it is now that the people must raise their voice, 3 " 1 'denounce the conduct of the men that are called .3eet 55L their representatives, and insist on being heard ea ' in their own defence. An inquiry on any important • point ought not to be secret, but where the object is of that magnitude, that religion, morality, nay, life itself is involved, secre y ought to be loudly condemned. Truth is %elf-evident (we want no inscription to tell us that the sun shines)—let facts be elicited day by day, and let those facts be discanted upon by an intelli gent Press, and we shall soon see whether the • merits of the present system will stand the test of inquiry. Opinions are nothing unless they admit of proof, and there is nothing but what is perfectly practical in the working of an exchangeable medium, there is no abstract theory necessary, no mystery required. The question is not how we are to fill the pockets of the rich, and enable the usurer to flourish, but how we are to elevate the poor, by enabling him to earn his bread by that honest independence which labour will give to him. There are infinite sources in which to employ every kind of skilled and unskilled labour, and amongst the first ought to be a decent . provision, in every locality, for the dwellings of the ' poor. The numbers that we meet with huddled together in one room are not there from choice; no, the more in the room the less each has to pay, and the mite that can be saved is the sole cause of the alternative. The poor are rather lavish in their expenditure, than penurious. Give them the means of living decently, and very soon we should find the evil remedied. There are, and will be, always, exceptions—l speak of the rule. The present movement I look upon as a most important one to the nation at large. Continue the present system, and human nature cannot long endure it. 'Therefore, let our legislators consider what it is their imperative duty to do. If they do not take the initiative, they ought to afford every facility for a full, fair, and impartial investigation of the present monetary laws. Those interested in the monopoly, ought not, in justice to the public, to have a voice in the matter. If a man can be so blinded by self interest, or prejudice, as to state that " high discounts have no bad effect upon trade," as Mr Thompson Hankey did, he is not to be trusted to give opinions upon a question that involves the . best interests of the people. As the committee is not formed of impartial inquirers, the public voice must decide ; and patriotism, if it is not dead; must step boldly forward, and act with vigour. It is now sinful to be neutral ; for, to wink at oppresssion is to share in the crime. —Yours, &c. April 9, 1857. ANTIMONOPtOLIST• DRAPERS AND MILLINERS. The following letter, which appeared in the Manchester Examiner and Times of yesterday, is not alone applicable to Manchester, for the evil which the writer complains of exists to a fearful -extent in our own town : TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l am induced to addres you, on a system of slavery now so generally and systematically adopted by the drapers and milliners of this city, that nothing but the adoption of the most stringent laws will ever be able to abolish. I allude to the shameful length of time the hands are employed in the abovesradesday after day—and particularly the fern - ales. I am well acquainted with a house, standing very high in the scale of humanity in this particular, that has had young females (and' some in delicate health) working upwards of sixteen hours a day, and this in a closely-packed room, totally without ventilation, except of the worst possible kind. I ask you, sir, in the name of common justice to human nature, is this right ? Ought such a system to be tolerated in a city boasting its liberality and refinement, and possessing as it does many a well-intentioned philanthropist ? What chance has an assistant draper or a young milliner to visit the " Art, Treasures," or to enjoy the manifold blessings of a bountiful Creator, groaning under such slavery ? None whatever. Can you expect men thus em ployed day by day to be intelligent, good citizens, or faithful servants? I answer--No Can you expect the females to become ornaments of their sex? Unquestionably not. Is it not a digraee to cripple the intellects, and train up mothers of a future generation without any qualification for that holy, sacred trust ? The Legislature of this coun try has adopted laws for the carrying- out of the Ten Hours Bill, between the mill hands and their employers ; it has passed a wise and humane law in relation t o th e employment of sweeps ; it has also established laws in relation to colliers and their underground work. And shall voting milliners or drapers be worked to :leath, because they are not mill hands? shall they be suffocated by intense heat of workrooms and show rooms because they are not chimney sweeps ? or shall they be poisoned by inhaling bad gases, because they are not colliers and work in coalpits ? —many a showroom in this city being quite as un• healthy and unfit for a human being, when lighted with gas, as a coalpit. When a man hires an ass, the laws for the prevention of cruelty to animals prevents his ill using it. Is human nature, in the shape of a milliner, of less importance ? Are not they to be cared for? Have they no souls to care for? Although I am disposed to rest all the blame of long hours on the heads of the employers, I can not overlook the fact that a great deal of the work to be done late, and many times on a Sunday morning, is to be attributed to the procrastinating dispositio n of our ladies,who postpone their orders to the last moment. I would ask how many mourning orders are given on the second day before the funeral, and many —very many—the day before. Funerals do not take place so suddenly as not to allow twelve or twenty hours notice. Marriages are not celebrated without the bride knowing many days before the "blessed day," yet, bridal bonnets and bridal dresses are all driven to the last moment. Perhaps there is a little excuse for bridal orders, as " there is many a slip between the cup and the lip," but with mourn ing orders there is none—the dead must be in terred. The ordinary trade suffers also from this hateful system of putting off from day to day. I hope, therefore, something will be done, and promptly, to ameliorate the labours of a class now fearfully oppressed. Last year there cry, but li ttle wool, " about a ha was a " great lf-holiday, which ended in— Wor k , work, work, from weary chime to chime (And worse than), as prisoners work for crime. Let me then implore your aid, for " the fearless pen has more sway over men than the thundering . cannon's roar.' • Pardo n me for thus trespassing on your valuable space to this length, but I am inclined to think that some abler pen t h an mine m a y take up the causs—l am, and hope ever to ren, A HATER OF SLAVERY, WalTs OR BLACK. Huhue, June 6th, 1857. ATTEMPTED S rTICIDE AT WESTMINSTER -BRIDGE PIER Oa Monday, about half-past twelve, whit e t h e boat was landing passengers at the a bove pier, a m id dle-aged woman precipitated herself into the river, and Was soon carried away by the tide. A man, named Davis, pat off in a boat, and after great difficulty succeeded in bringing her ashore; she was taken by the policeman on duty, in a cab, in a state of insensibility, to Lambeth work, house. of the fallen ones told the mother of mankind, if she wouid partake of the fruit of a certain tree, she would become as gods, to know good and evil.- The woman, too much like many of her daughters of our day, .aazious to become great, did as the fallen one requested her to do. regardless of con sequences. Remember, the services of majors never would have been required, if there had been no pride. The moment the monster entered the human heart, war commenced. If every drop of human blood shed" in war,, from the blood of - righteous - Abel - to - the last drop shed in the late fearful Russian war, could be gathered together, it would form a mighty ocean, and all this in con sequence of pride. lam disgusted with pride and foolish distinctions of earth. The three millions of o - tr poor dark brothers and sisters, who are still subject to the tyrant's lash in the Far West, are as precious in the sight of the Great Creator as any who are seated on the thrones of Europe. Think you did Ham, the father of the poor slave, suppose, when tossed to and fro in the ark, when unnumbered millions of the human family were at once swept froth the state of action, that his children would have been so treated and tormented, and that by men boasting of their Christianity? If it be true that a great day is looming in the distance, proud tyrants of earth will be astonished on that day. I am informed that the people of England are beginning to see the folly of pride and foolish distinctions. Noble lords and titled ladies are seated, in some places of worship, side by side with the poor. If this be true, it is a glorious commencement of a heaven on earth. Permit me now to say a few words respecting the police•foree 'of Liverpool. I am at a loss to know how it is that nine hundred armed men are required to keep the people in order. I ask you, in sober seriousness, how is this ? The preached gospel is - in its purity in Liverpool ; nevertheless, nine hundred men are required to keep the people in order. Will you oblige me by requesting the head-constable to teach his men to be civil to the poor? Some police-officers are very civil to the rich—the same men are not always so civil to the poor. I object to this foolish distinction. It is every man's birthright to have a civil answer to a civil question, bo he rich or poor. Suffer me to say, I often go out of my way to give information to a poor Irish reaper, and am amply rewarded by his gratitude. I do so because we are brothers, children of the same parents, branches of the great root of Paradise, and links in the mighty chain of mankind. Remember, every link in the great chain is made of the same. material. Is it - not, therefore, unwise to make foolish distinctions between the links ? In the name of all that is good, come out of your shell, and protest against pride and foolish distinctions of earth. All of us have been in our shells long enough ;so have snails.--I am, sir, your very obedient servant, A MAN. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. The demand for Cotton continues pretty good, and to-day prices are generally 1-16 d per lb. higher than on Friday last. The sales to-day were 8,000 bales, nearly one-half of which was for exportation. But a limited business was transacted in the Liverpool Share Market to-day, and prices are hardly so good as at the close yesterday.

In the Market for the Public Funds and Securi - ties to-day there was a rather better feeling, and they advanced per cent. closing firmer. Consols for Money closed at 931 to 94, and for the Account at 941 to 943. The same prices were current after official hours. Exchequer Bills were done at 2 dis to 3 pm, and the New Three per Cents closed at 921 to 921. The London Share Market was rather firm to day, with transactions to a moderate extent. The following were the closing prices, viz. :- Arnbergate, Nottingham, and East Junction, 5 7.16 5 9-16 ; Caledonian, 721, 721 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 59, 61 ; Eastern Counties, 111, 111; East Lancashire, 961, 971; Great Northern, 97 ; Ditto A, 88, 89 ; Great Western, 641, 641 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1001, 100 k ; Leeds Northern, 431, 441; London and North Western, 1041 ; London and South Western, 991, 100 ; Manchester, Sheffield. and Lincoln shire, 431, 431; Midland Stock, 831, 831 ; North British, 421, 431 ; South Eastern and Dever, 731, 741 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 891. 901 ; York and North Midland, 681, 691 ; After official hours the business done was at the following quotations :-Caledonian, 721, 721; Eastern Counties, n i t 111; East Lancashire, 971; Great Northern, 971 ; ditto A, 88, 89 ; Great Western, 641, 641 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1001 1001; London and North Western, 1041 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 431, 431 ; Midland Stock, 831 831 ; South Eastern and Dover, 731, 741; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 893, 901; York and North Midland, 684, 691. A considerable quantity of rain has fallen in this locality since the close of the week, and in most other directions the weather has been showery, which will have a most beneficial effect upon the spring crops, and that of Wheat is generally reported as promising, though a con tinuance of much wet would be calculated to force it too much into straw ; the appearance of the crops on the European Continent is also well' reported' of,iand notwithstanding that the universal reduc tion of stocks may prevent decline in the interval, we trust the anticipation of a decidedly lower range of prices consequent upon a favourable realization of the next harvest, may be reasonably indulged. The slight decline noticed in the Bri tish Grain Markets in the course of last week was followed by somewhat more firmness at the close ; the large Wheat arrivals, however, from Russia and the Baltic, combined with fair supplies of home growth and favourable prospects for the future harvest, keep consuming buyers cautious and re- - served ; on the otherhand, as a repetition of accumu lated quantity from the sources alluded to is not ap prehended, and that from the east of Europe and America will bd necessarily limited, whilst the stock at our several outports, and throughout Ireland are greatly diminished, importers have yielded scarcely in any degree to a decline. The trade here, since Friday, has ruled quiet, without pressure and without further concession in prices. The receipts into this port, coastwise and form Ireland, are small, and must necessarily continue so until harvest ; from various sources abroad, however, the arrivals of most kinds of Grain pro duce during the week are moderately fair in amount. The exports hence, within the same period are, on the contrary, rather light, except of Indian Corn, the shipments of which, coastwise and to Ireland being 23,404 quarters, At the various markets held to-day, rather higher prices were demanded, and in some instances an advance of ls. per quarter on Wheat was esta blished Trade, in the manufacturing districts, is some what more active, now that the Whitsuntide holi days are over. The news from India has had the effect of invieorating the Manchester market, .for an advance took place there to-day. From the circular of Messrs. Wilson and Co., of Sydney, New South Wales, dated the 10th of April, we find that the total exports of the four staple articles from the Ist January up to the 10th April were--27,594 bales Wool, 15,375 Hides, 1,702 Sheepskins, and 187 casks Tallow. From the cir cular alluded to we make the following extract : We have to notice the continued steadiness of the Wool market; although prices have been maintained there has been less eagerness on the part of purchasers. On Comb ing Wool an advance of fully 14d. per lb. has been ob tained, and on Grease Wool td. per lb. A small lot (four bales) superior Scoured brought 2J. 6d. per lb. The satisfactory advices brought per Columbian have tended to give our market for Hides a very firm tone. At the present high prices heavy and well cured are readily taken for shipment. The quantity of Sheepskins brought to market continues small. No alteration in prices. Of the boiling down of Tallow this year little has come to mar ket. The first of the season realised £47 2s. 61. to £47 10s. mixed qualities £43 to £46. Prices may be con sidered firm at our quotations. The bar shyer brought by the steamer Parana, from.the West Indies and Mexico, was sold yes terday for the East at 5s lid per oz. standard ; al though not expected to be delivered before to-mor row. This price shows an advance of 8 i compared with that realiSed for the supply by the packet which arrived from the West Indies in the middle of last month ; but in the interval occasional trans actions took place at a decided advance. The large amount of Mexican dollers, by the Paremi, have not yet been sold. Tee Chilian dollars realised 4s 111t1 per oz. A telegraphic message from St. Petersburg re ports transactions in Tallew - to the extent of 1,000 casks at 17;i ro. with 10 re. down, for August delivery.

Sra,—l have been informed that you stated in. your place in the Council Chamber, a few days ago, that you saw a letter in the papers, signed " Robert Lowe," and that the writer stated that the head-constable was remarkably punctilious as to the title by which he should be addressed. I have no wish to give the least offence to the head constable or to any , other man ; nevertheless I always speak and write as I think, regardless of consequences. I consider it a far greater honour to be called a man than it is to be called a major. There was no major spoken of at the creation of man ; neither would there be majors spoken of to this day. had it not been for pride. Monster pride first entered the human heart in Paradise. One PARLIAMENTARY DOCUMENTS. CONVENTS IN ENGLAND.—A petition to Parliament from Oxfordshire, says :—That there are in this kingdom many religions houses, called convents, appertaining to the Rorn ish religion, the inhabitants of which are practically with drawn from the protection of the laws of the land. That there may be the greatest cruelty and oppression exercised towards the inhabitants of such houses, without any possi bility of their obtaining redress. That such a state of things is witoly opposed to the spirit of the constitution and the laws of this land, and ought not to be. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your honourable house to take such steps for the inspection of such convents as shall secure to the inhabitants of such convents a mode of obtaining redress for any cruelty or oppression which may be exercised towards them. FOREIGN SHIPPING. —A return to the House of Com mons, on the motion of Mr. J. Wilson, shows that in the year 1856 a sum of £45,155 was paid, under the 591 Geo. lII_, c, 54, and subsequent Treasury orders for the difference cf rates and charges due to corporations, com panies, and individuals, for foreign vessels, which, under reciprocity treaties or other Wise, are admitted into the ports of the United Kingdom at the same rates of charge as British vessels; the ports of Liverpool, Newcastle, and Hull take the larger portion of this sum. The total sum thus paid under the reciprocity treaties up to December 31 last, was no less than £1,026,785. Tarts BALLoTr.—Several petitions to parliament for the Ballot have recently been presented. One of them, from Tavistock, say's: —That in the opinion of yourpetitioners the v ite by ballot is essential to a fair and free elecdon of representatives in the British parliament. That, while it would counteract bribery, which repeated legislation has failed to effect, it would enable honest voters to go to the poll unfettered by improper influences, and leave them to act upon their opinion and wishes without hindrance or molestation. Your petitioners also pray your honourable house that in providing for the vote by ballot a law may be enacted to prohibit canvassing the electors, either by candidates or their agents. PIIDLID WORKS—LOAN COMMISSIONERS.—The net total of the sums of public money placed at the disposal of these commissioners since the commission was established by the 57th Geo. 111., c 34, amounts to £13,209,878 ; of which they have advanced, for Great 8ritain,X9,257,208 for Irel Ind, £3,561,980 ; and for South Wales Turnpike Trusts, .£215,241. The office expenses amount to £41,097 ; and a bilance remained unisened on the 3d March last of £134,352. Of the amount advleced there has been repaid; principal and interest, a sum of .E I 1,003,864, and the out standing balance is £4,125,749. The classes of loan made, last year are burial boards, churches, and parochial chapels, B tersea-park, law courts, gaols, &c., local board; of health, workhouses, and Irish railways. There have been no remissions of loans, except in the case of the Irish work houses, which were favoured by the cancelling of a loan of £1,370,500. Tun JEWS.—A petition to Parliament from Testworth i 3 worded in the following curious way :—" That the people commonly called Jews are not Englishmen, Sc3tchmen, Irishmen. That . they f)rm a nation of themselves, anJ are looking forward to the possession of a country of their own, namely, Palestine, or the Holy Land. That they deny the godhead of our Lord Jesus Christ, and are utterly opposed to the Christian religion. That neither as foreigners, or as enemies of Christ, are they entitled to admissio❑ into Parliam=nt. Your petitioners therefore humb!y play your honourable house that the people coin moniy tailed Jews may never be declared eligible for adiuLsion into your honourable house." The papers announce the death of Douglas Jerrold, which took place on Monday after a short illness. ANervzcr COIN.—A few days ago a shilling coin. of the reign of Qieen Elizabeth, was dug from the soil of a field in the neighbourhood of Oullybackey. It bears date of the year 1572, and is in a state of preservation quite as perfect as when struck from the mint. A smaller silver coin was found with it, but so much ',corn, and otherwise defaced, that its character cannot be deciphered.—Bally_ mena Observer. 9RIMR IN' NEW ORLEANS.-It may not prove uninter esting to our readers to I , arn the following facts, which we yesterday took the trouble to glean from the books of the coroner, • furnishing a report of the murders and sweides which have occurred in this city during the period of some fifteen months, commenciro; the date of which Coroner Oliver entered upon the discharge of the duties of his Affiee.

Though there are not many buyers at market this morning, we have a much better attendance of both local and country millers than last week, the tone of the trade is much improved, the demand for wheat good, if not extensive, and any decline acceded to on Fziday has been fully recovered to-day. The attendance of farmers at our market to-day was meagre, and the supply of home-grown wheat, though small, moved slowly at the prices of Friday. The value of flour has not improved, bat sales to a moderate extent are more readily made. Bar ey is very unsaleable, and our quotations nearly nominal. Beans in tolerable request at late prices. Oats find buyers in moderate quantities for consumption and foreign export at full rates, and oatmeal sells steadily at previous currency.

Tug CA LiFfIaNIAN PEN.—The everlasting question f" is this good pen" has been answered by Mr. F. T. Hall, of South John s:re- t, who has succeeded in :mod:icing a metallic pen, which he designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more annoying than a had pen—every one knows the misery. The pen made by Mr. Hail, is fit for any hand to use ;light or heavy), and what is of the greatestveeue, it .doen not corrode, but will work with equal facility in any ink. From experience of metallic pens, we can say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will last nearly as long, is the best one we Lave ever used.—Northern Times. One box, containing six dozen pens, sent free on receipt eef 2a eAd fa posture stamps. Agents wonted for the country.—Adv. Boos.—One of the greatest domestic nuisances. especially in the spring and summer of the year, is the prevalence of hugs. Many means have been tried to p; event or exterminate them, but all hitherto ineffectually. Cleanliness may check, but cannot eradicate them. Mr. R.

An official programme of a series of events, which are full of interest and excitement to the sporting world, has been recently published. We allude to the race meeting which is fixed to take place In Warwick on the 23rd and 21th of September next. A leading feature in this a ffair is the rivalry of officers of the French and English armies and navies, who having rsemtly tested their skill and strength in turflte struggles at T a Marche, aro about, with the aid of several members of the French jockey and other clubs, to renew the competitio ; upon an English race-course. The Warwick race committee have not only expressly guaranteed £l5O towards the expenses of the meeting, but taken upon themselves additional responsibilities, amounting to about ; whilst the town of Leamington has entered into a satisfactory guarantee for £lOO. The first day's sport will consist of six events, the two principal of which, bearing the characteristic names of the Alma and B ilaklava Stakes, are to receive the aid of lberal subscrip tions from the borough of Warwick. These rases will be confined to officers in z ctive service by land and sea. Two handicaps are thrown opento the members of certain specified clubs, and in two other races jockles will ride. The second day's racing is upon an equally extended scale. There are an Inkermann stakes, and a handicap, to each of which Leamington adds £5O of public money; a Sehastopot stokes, and another handicap—all four races" bein g confined to French anal English officers. There will be a third handidap, bearing a cog nomen specially complimentary to the "hero of t'oe Eden," and to which will be appended .eloo, handsomely added from the receipts of the stand, and also a plate of £5O given by the committee.
