MONETARY AFFAIRS.

THERE has been a considerable degree of agitation
in London recently, owing to another advance in the
minimum rate of discount by the Bank of England,
and another decrease in the stock of bullion in the
Bank coffers. These changes were accompanied by
reports of extraordinary demands for gold, of pre-
parations being made for anticipated pressure, and
of apprehensions for commercial security. This in-
cipient panic, which to many may appear as the pre-
cursor of monetary troubles, is in reality little more
than the result of operations by speculators for a fall
in the funds, rendered successful by a combination of
circumstances, separately of comparative insignificance.
It is true that there is a decrease in the stock of
bullion, arising probably from a demand for export,
which after all is to no great amount ; but such an
event is comparatively unimportant,unless accompanied
by other circumstances, such as a prospective decline,
or a serious diminution in the reserve of notes. These,
however, do not appear to be the case, for there ap-
pears no reason to anticipate increased demands upon
the bullion resources, and the decrease in the reserve
is only one-fourth the amount of the decline in
bullion, leaving a margin of more than seven millions
and a quarter against contingencies.
It must be borne in mind that the whole of the
interest attaching to the question arises from the
Act of 1844, requiring the Bank of England to re-
strict its issue of notes within fourteen millions be-
yond the stock of bullion, a limit which has not yet
been exceeded, and which in the present case is not
within the bounds of probability, as the total right
of issue, according to the last return is, £26,695,250,
while the actual circulation is only £19,408,435,
leaving a margin of £7,286,815, an amount far ex-
ceeding any probable requirements ; and, if even the
contingency should arise, simply needing a suspension
of the law as was done some years ago. Then comes
the question as to the increase in the rate of discount,
and this may be accounted for by the increased demands
for accommodation, as shown by the returns, the
addition to " other securities " being no less than
£1,120,494. So that, while the directors of the Bank
of England are fully justified in taking advantage of
the demands for discount, their proceedings afford no
reasonable grounds for any alarm.
It will be observed on reference to the returns
that the amount of public deposits is no less than
£8,389,892,-a prudent provision against the 'require-
ments for the expenditure of the war, and the ap-
proaching payment of the dividends, and at the same
time a circumstance which may account in some
measure for the absorption of capital irrespective of
other influences. If, however, we look to commercial
affairs, we shall search in vain for anyjustification of
uneasiness, except such as may be created by designing
parties for their own special advantage, for prices
were never more steadily maintained, and rarely has
there ' been such freedom from purely speculative
operations. It is true that there are the instalments
of the several loans to provide for, but these still bear
a premium, 'and the whole amount is far below the
calls which some years ago were made upon monetary
resources for the purposes of railway construction.
The occurrence of such commotions as this to which
we have just alluded has naturally led to many reflec-
tions upon the propriety of maintaining the restrictions
of the Bank Act of 1844, particularly as it has been
proved by experience to be practically inoperative for all
beneficial purposes, and only brought into exercise when
its inutility has rendered its suspension'necessary. If
the Bank of England be, as it is professed to be, a
national institution entrusted with the payment of the
national creditor, and the manufacturer of the legal
currency as far as notes of the value of £5 and up-
wards is concerned, there is no solid reason why any
restraint should be placed upon the amount of its
issues, except such as naturally arises from the protect
tion of its own interests and that limit which monetary
operations necessarily impose. The limitation of the
amount of each note to the value of £5 is a far more
effectual restriction against an over-issue than any
imposed by the act referred to ; but, while this is unno-
ticed and comparatively not felt, the other is a fertile
source of disquietude, enabling unprincipled speculators
to disturb a wholesome state of monetary security for
their own gain. The same act imposes restrictions
upon the issues of provincial banks, limiting them to
the average immediately preceding the passing of the
act, and thereby virtually enacting that trade and
commerce, which in their extension require an exten-
sion of the currency, shall never be augmented with-
out a corresponding increase in the stock of gold and
silver.

Such a law imposes far more effectual fetters upon
industry than was ever done by Customs' duties on
Foreign Imports, which excited so much the clamour

of the Free Traders_; but its influence was less palpab
ble, and therefore it has been suffered to pass compa-
ratively unheeded. It has virtually created a mono-
poly of capital not plainly perceptible to those inte-
rested in the value of labour, and therefore they have
submitted to the injustice. But monetary panics,
however unreasonable, and the more unreasonable the
more cause for remedies, should excite attention to the
state of the law, and lead to a demand for its repeal
or alteration. Such a demand will not be made by
the Bank of England, for that establishment derives
an immediate profit from a state of things which en-
hances the value of its resources; but commercial men
have a direct interest in the question, and should press
it upon the attention of the legislature.
Such a state of affairs is almost sure to lead to pro-

posals which their respective authors deem to be the
perfection of wisdom ; and amongst the many schemes
propounded is one for the issue by the government of
an amount of notes equivalent to the annual taxation.
Unfortunately for the success of such a scheme, the
notes so issued would necessarily displace those already
in circulation, and in every payment of taxes would
require specie for amounts below the value of each note
Another circumstance which would render the scheme
inoperative is the fact that the currency for the pur-
poses of revenue is at no time more than a few millions,
the annual taxation repeatedly changing hands in
receipts and payments during the year, and only re-
quiring to be represented by the balance in hand. The
most that could be effected by such a scheme would be
to add to the currency an amount of £1 notes which
should not be redeemable in gold, but should be at all
times a legal tender in the payment of taxes and duties;
and unless the total amount of these was restricted
within very narrow limits they would prove more harm
than good.

YAOM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING.

WITHIN the Present limited circle of what is conventionally
called London society, few weeks have passed of late years
which, in point of excitement, curiosity, and regret, could for
an instant bear CoMparison With that which came to a close
on Saturday last. For a considerable period prior to the com-
mencement of that week, it was generally known that, in
accordance with a pre-concerted 'arrangement between the
French and EngliSh Generals, combined attacks were made
on the chief defences of the town of Sebastopol. It was also
known that the attack of our Allies had been eminently suc-
cessful, and that our own had failed ; but it was further known
that, whatever were the causes or the circumstances which led
to the failure of our assault upon the Great Redan, that failure
was not brought ahoutwithout the loss of many of our gallant
soldiers, while no one would or could believe that prodigies of
valour had not been. performed ere our noble warriors could be
persuaded to relinquishthe baStion, in which, after an incre-
dibly severe struggle, they had for a time at least established
themselves. Full information, 'Official' and secular, has now
revealed to the public a systematic narrative of the events

which preceded, accompanied, and followed the series of oper-
ations conjointly undertaken by the Allies. From that infor-
mation it is clear that the struggle has been more severe, and
that its results have been even greater than there was just
reason to infer from the very meagre reports which had been
previously received. The fullest amount of intelligence conveys
likewise the most ample indication of the real value of the
victory as of the dreadful contest through which it was
achieved. That victory was undoubtedly a great one, and
yesterday, in compliance with the Royal injunction, it was ac-
knowledged throughout the land in strains of humbled thank-
fulnessbeforethe throne of Him who is at once the God of battles
and the avenger of blood. While the achievement of such a tri-
umph affords abundant grounds for rejoicing, it is nevertheless
accompanied by circumstances calculated to awaken feelings
having but small similitude to joy. These feelings are ex-
cited not merely because many lives were sacrificed in one of
the most desperate assaults recorded in the annals of modern
war, but in a yet greater degree, because, at the very mo-
ment of real victory, the glories of our valiant countrymen
were clouded by the gloom of apparent defeat. Explained or
modified by what circumstances soever may be found the most

truthful or the most plausible, and however thoroughly We
may feel assured that whatever bravery and self-devotion
I had almost written self-immolation, could effect in enabling
our brave troops to retain the footing they had gained in the
angle of the Redan was applied, it is still mortifying to know
that they had to relinquish that footing. Under any circum-
stances this mortification must be great, but it would be
greatly aggravated, if upon inquiry it is found, as has been
alleged, that there was a want of generalship to direct the
assault in all its complicated and dangerous details ; and still
more so if, as. has been on the other hand averred, that there
was a want of alacrity on the part of the soldiers to follow
their officers in the dread affray. The heart sickens to read
the narrative of the deadly encounter, the blood runs cold on

becoming acquainted with the sad account of the assault on
the Redan, where our brave though inexperienced troops,
forcing their way into the angle of the embattled fortifications
at its apex, were swept down as they entered by a broad base
line of deadly missiles from the guns of its obdurate defenders.
Grave accusations have been advanced on both the points
referred to; but these convey charges too important to be
lightly repeated ; they imply too serious a charge in the one
instance on the courage of the soldiers : in the other, on the
capacity of the commander, to be readily adopted or cursorily
passed over. The question demands, and will, without doubt,
obtain due investigation. Authentic information will, ere
long, be obtained on the subject, till which time it is but fair
to presume that the ensigns, which were so heroically borne
through the brunt of Inkerman, were bravely carried and
valorously supported in front of the traverses of the Great
Redan ; that the Commander-in-Chief is entitled to credit for
his premeditated arrangements. In reference to this san-
guinary combat, public opinion is uncompromisingly condem-
natory of the meagre and bald generalties by which it is
indicated in General SIMPSON'S despatch. Every one feels,
and few are slack in saying, that \ such a contest called for
something more graphic in its details than the vague allu-
. . .

sions to it in the document referred to. These latter
point in a temper the reverse of placid to the luminous
account given by General. PELtssrEu, and yet more lucid
despatch of General NIEL, as indications that dignity is
• not incompatible with strong description, and that mere
brevity, however laconic, is but a sorry substitute for
breadth of narrative and clearness of delineatiOn. Many of
those who take the gloomy view of the affair maintain that
the meagreness of General SIMPSON'S description arises from
his want of personal knowledge of the matter, and stoutly
argue from such premises his incapacity to hold the command
entrusted to him. Others, with at least an equal show of
reason, ridicule the idea that any man is to be held incompe-
tent as a general because he has not the descriptive fluency of a
practical litterateur, and point for justification of their good
opinion to the complimentary testimony borne to the English
share in the general operations by the French Commander-in-
chief, and also to that of his Chief of Engineers, General NIEL,
both of whom, it cannot be denied, speak in highly favourable
terms of the gallantry with which the assault upon the Great
Redan was made, and of the indomitable bravery with which
its assailants deported themselves in making the attack under
very trying and disadvantageous circumstances, and also in
maintaining themselves in the unequal combat which they
were compelled to wage, after they had fought their way
within the fatal battlements. British society, jealous of its
military renown, refuses to endorse the encomiums of a gene-
rous ally, unless some ground is shown for believing that the
encomiums so accorded are deserved. Many of the least
querulous of our countrymen, of all ranks, scan with gratified
eye the narrative of preparations made by the French for the
dread struggle of the assault. " During the few days imme-
diately preceding the assault," says the French engineer, " the
workmen of the infantry were principally employed in
enlarging the several places d'arrnes most in advance,
in widening the passages, and in transporting to the
required spots the means of crossing the ditches."
The result of all this preparation was, that the stormers
of the French attack issued from their places of shelter
in compactly-formed masses. They swarmed out in vast
numbers, and the supporting parties were launched to the aid
of the storm4ers, also in compact and rapidly successive bodies.
The assailants were preceded or accompanied by engineers and
artificers who speedily threw plank bridges across the ditch,
entered the fortress along with the forlorn hope, and pro-
ceeded with the construction of shelter for their fighting com-
rades ; cut off the Russian communications with the mines
they meant to spring, and in short displayed all the resources
of a well-provided army, in which practical knowledge and
forethought secured them the unembarrassed advantages to
be derived from those resources. When the inquirer into such
operations turns his attention to the British preparations, what
there rivets his gaze and dims his eye with grief ?- Sir HARRY
JONES, the English chief engineer, says :—" In consequence of
attacking the salient only, no. front could be- farmed; on ac-
count of the small interior space at that point ;. the men were
forced to advance by driblets, and at the same moment fired
on from traverses on either flank where they- could, not see
their assailants ; an evil at once obviated had the attack on
the flanks and salient been. simultaneous." The concurrent
testimony of at least half-a-dozen narratives, establishes the
facts that the English attacking column never was sufficiently
strong for the magnitude and importance as well as danger of
the assault. There was not sufficient support in, reserve, and
what was, there was no arranged means for bringing up. No
preparation for crossing the ditch was made,,and the scarp was
taken by escalade, the most disadvantageous and dangerous
mode of entering a breach. No provision appearsto have been
made, as on the French side, for even an attempt to cut off
the enemy's communication with his mine. Nor was any one
appointed to spike the pans. Here, assuredly, is a discrepancy
of preparation sufficient to strike the attention of any one,
however little or however much conversant with such matters ;
and it has arrested general attention and. given rise to serious.
comment.

As to the courage of the troops, it has been said that they
became disheartened and disobedient, losing the advantages cf
such aid as they might otherwisehave derived from discipline..
To such an accusation as this the public ear is feelingly acute.,
If under the trying circumstances which have just been
alluded to the soldiers had wavered and hesitated, the act:
could hardly have been held an impeachment of their courage.
Did they do so ? is a question of ina small moment. On,this,
important point General NIEL'S opinion is of value ; whet says
he ? " The English had 200 metres of ground to &o over
under a terrible fire of grape, This space was presently
covered with dead, but these losses could not stop the march
of the attacking column, which advanced to the capital of the
work. It descended into the ditch, which was about five
metres in depth, and, notwithstanding all the efibrts of the
Russians, it escaladed the scarp and took from them the
salient of the Redan'; but after the first struggle, which cost
the Russians dear, the English soldiers found nothing before.
them but a vast open space, crossed in all directions by the
balls of the enemy, who themselves were sheltered beharid
distant traverses. Those who came up were scarcely- suffickut
to replace those who were placed hors de combat. It was not
until they had sustained during nearly two hours this un-
equal combat, that the English resolved to evacuate the
Redan." In these few sentences will be readily perceived a
gallant soldier's tribute to the constancy and courage of our
troops; and in them a military critic will not be slow to
recognize an experienced officer's opinion of the arrangements
of our commanders.

A proverb of classical authority informs us, that " the shoe-
maker should not go beyond his last;" and sheltering them-
selves behind the entrenchments which can be raised out of
this scrap of antique wisdom, it has, particularly of late,
become the fashion for military officers to treat with high
disdain the opinions of civilians upon matters of martial
import. Recent occurrences connected with this war have
given cause for seriously questioning official capacity in every
grade. Many a man, who six months ago would have shrunk
from this idea, now boldly propounds to himself the question,
" Do our military men really understand their profession ?"

The interrogatory once breathed, a host of circumstances
crowd readily on the recollection which cause its repetition,
and furnish lively illustrations in the negative. Stretching
the retrospect over a few years does not greatly mend the
matter in favour of our military monopolists. Lord Viscount
HA.RDINGE is now Commander-in-chief of HER MAJESTY'S
Forces. He and Lord Goucat were some years ago moving the
Anglo-Indian army in the Sutlej territory, in observation of the
Sikh force, when they accidentally learned that that force had
passed them, and was marching to attack their army. A few
days afterwards, when their troops were preparing dinner,
having just halted for the day, the main body of the Sikhs
came suddenly upon them. A fierce struggle ensued in

which the enemy was repulsed, but not before some thousands
of the English army had been slain. These great com-
manders not only allowed their opponents to evade them ;
but, in spite of the knowledge of this, no videttes nor
outposts were placed, and they were themselves surprised.
Could a civilian have much more grossly miscon-
ducted a military enterprise? A year or two subse-

quent to the event referred to above, the same Lord GOUGH,
while reconnoitering the army of SIIERE SINGH, which-was
strongly posted in the jungle, and who was not inclined, nor
then in a position adVantageously to attack, was sn ,thrown
off his guard by irritation, occasioned by a cannon- ball
coming too near him, that he instantly ordered an attack
upon the jungle, which, as might have been expected under
the circumstances of the case, entirely failed, but was not
discontinued till many men and officers had fallen victims to
this want of self-control. In the Crimea, have we not had
such a series of military mischances as to justify the suspi-
cion that absolute wisdom does not reckon very high among
the military virtues at head-quarters ? Who does not recal
with sorrow and regret the significant exclamation of the
French commander, while surveying the dreadful grandeur of
the "Death-ride" at Balacklava;—" This is magnificent, but
it is not war ?" Is it possible, so far, to forget the mur-
derous surprise at Inkerman, or to bury in oblivion the ill-
contrived attack on the Redan, on the 18th of June, as to
believe that none but military men can offer an opinion upon
military management ? Such reminiscences are fatal to
prestige. To professional ears it may savour of impertinence, if
a civilian offer criticism on the tactics of a campaign, or attempt
to censure the arrangements of a battle ; but assuredly, the
events connected with the assault on the Redan, on the Bth of
last month, will force upon the attention of many a household
the unwelcome question, do our military men understand
their profession ? To many a hearth the answer to that ques-
tion will carry terror and mourning. Blunders so fatal, and
so frequently repeated, create an interest which cannot be
stifled, and will not be evaded ; the barrier of etiquette will no
longer be able to defend them from investigation, and with
investigation must come some means for their remedy.
While the topics referred to have taken deep hold of the

public mind, almost to the exclusion of every other considera-
tion, one or two matters have met with some degree of atten-
tion. Among those few things, the fact of an agricultural so-
ciety held, of all places on earth, in Tipperary, has given.room
for some amount of speculation. The Tipperary Agricultural
Society is a new institution, of which the Earl of DERBY is
patron. It held its first annual meeting a few days ago,and Lord
STANLEY acting as his father's representative, presided on the
occasion. This meeting is remarkable on many grounds, not
the least notable or gratifying of which is the fact, that such a
society could have been introduced and taken root in a locality
which has generally been remarkable for its disturbances, its
poverty, and the bad feeling which existed and manifested
itself in the occupiers of the land against its owners. •In such
a place, the existence, and the open meeting, of a society with
a hundred and twenty members, each paying one pound a-year,
and in which the owners and occupiers of land assemble for the
cultivation of friendship and good feeling not less than for the
purposes of mutual co-operation and instruction; is, indeed, an
event not only of the district bat of the country. A few years
only have elapsed since the land in Ireland began to pass from
the hands of insolvent proprietors into those of parties whose
means enable them to discharge the dutieS, as well as to enjoy
the rights, of property, and mark the difference:—ln one of
the most usually disturbed 'districts, of the country, peaceful
pursuits have taken the place of riotous animosity. Landlords
and tenants meet for the exchange of mutual intelligence
and good offices. Not long since, Lord STANLEY excited
some attention, and several not very friendly comments., by a
statement which he made at an agricultural meeting some.
where in your neighbourhood. On that occasion, he said
publicly, that man was a public wrong-doer who held lands
which he was unable himself to cultivate, but had the power
to sell. " Either cultivate the land yourself, or let others,
cultivate it for yon," were the emphatic words- used .by Mo.
lordship. Within little more than a month he has had a
striking practical illustration of the accuracy of his proposi,-
tion. While the land was held •by those who• could not cul-
tivate it, riot, idleness and misery, with their baneful- concomi-
tants, class jealousies and hatreds, prevailed in. Tipperary ;:
now, the laud has, in a great measure, passed into thehands
of those who are able and willing to cultivate it,. and the ties
of mutual interest have already secured a good understand-
ing between landlord and tenant. A society having quite as.
much for its object the friendly union of all classes-as for the
common benefit has- sprung up and been established-in the
very camp and stronghold of lawlessness and distrust.
Seldom, indeed, has it fallen to, the lot of so young- an
aspirant to the honours- and. the cares of statesmanship to
witness so full a realization of a, theory looked coldly on. by
compeers, as has thus been accorded to. Lord Sr4l..Tlj#,

on the poor plea that the visitor had been "admitted by.-mis-
