the sales reaching 8,000 bales, at rather higher

There was a much better feeling in the Money
Market to-day, the applications for accommodation
were less numerous, and the supply having in-
creased, choice descriptions of Bills have been
negotiated under the minimum rate of discount.
This is looked upon in Commercial circles as of
great of importance, and there is a hope that we
have now entirely got over the crisis. If no new
failures take place, and the arrival of specie from
America continues, it is expected that the Bank
of England will be enabled to reduce the rate of
interest. To-day about 12,0001. worth of gold was
bought by the Bank of England. The Bankers'
Cireqlar of to-day makes the following remarks on
the state of the Money Market :-
The past week has resulted in an increased con-
fidence with regard to the crisis ; but this must
be strictly limited to the Stock Markets, when
the rapid change in events is produced by the
mere breath of a favouable rumour. It is, however,
impossible that the crash occasioned by falling banks, and
the numerous suspensions of large mercantile houses can
be hastily overcome. Difficulties have already begun to
manifest themselves in the manufacturing districts, the
consequences of which are not fully developed ; and it
would be a wilful misrepresentation of facts, to say that
the poverty arising from a stoppage of mills in various
parts of the 'United Kinglom will not prove a very serious
and formidable evil. The sati,facion expressed at an
increase of bullion in the Bank of England is far from
being all that the country requires to set the wheels of
commerce in motion. Credit and confidence are shattered
to pieces throughout all parts of the Kingdom, and there
is a sure prospect of thousands of our industrious artisans
being in a state of destitution and starvation in the presence
of the greatest abundance England was ever known to possess.
Fanatics and usurers may lose themselvesin the midst of their
bullion theories ; but the time is come when it must be de-
cided whether the living' millions are to govern their own
destiny, or submit to the ruling power of a dead metal,
dexteriously shuffled about by a few cunning intriguers,
under the pretence that it is more potent than man
himself. The bank returns to the 18th show an increase
of 779 566/ in specie ; and a further increase of 1,051,447
in private securities, exhibiting a continued demand for
assistance. The reserve has evidently been strengthened
greatly by a further sale of 509,6871 of- Government
securities. These changes have given to speculators a
more confident tone, and all descriptions of securities have
advanced in price. It hat also been confidently asserted
that the Imperial Government will henceforward under-
take the management of Indian affairs; should these be
confirmed on the meeting of Parliament, it will at once
suffice to create au improvement in Indian financies which
nothing else could command. The suspension of the
Northumberland and Durham District Bank at Newcastle,
on Wednesday last, has been one of the worst calamities
of the week ; though no official statement has yet been
made of its actual position The most unfortunate result,
we fear, will be the distress, which such an event
will produce amongst the industrious classes in that
neighbourhood.
The Market for the Public Funds and Securities
was very buoyant this forenoon, but prices, after
advancing to about per cent., suclddenly declined,
and the market closed at about -k per cent. above
the prices of yesterday. Consols for Money closed
at 91-1 to 918, and at the same rate for the Account.

Respecting the Mining Market, the Mining
Journal of to-day says :-
The Mining Share Market has been but moderately
active, and business limited to small speculative and pro-
gressive mines, in which prices have been well maintained,
but in others, where sales have been pressed, prices have
receded. Alfred Consols have again fluctuated very much,
reaching 16, and leaving off at 14. Grambler and St.
Aubyn„Bo to 821; the lode in the 36 is worth 151. per
fathom. East Basset, 921 to 95, and for an investment in
mines for progressive dividends, these are looks upon as
among the best. Great South Tolgus also in demand, at
141 to 15; Mary Ann, 50 to 52 ; Ttelawney, 221 to 23;1 ;
Wheal Wrey shares have been in request, at 51 to 51;
Ludcott 'have declined 1, 111 ; Lady Bertha finctua ed
from 20s to 235, and leave off at 21s 6d to 22s 6d ; Wheal
Edward shares not so fi m again, at 61 to 71 ; Wheal Gran
vine shares have been in demand at 32s to 345, In t no change
has taken place in the mine; West Grenville flat again, at 4s,
lode not looking so well; Clijah and Wentworth eh? es have
been much inquired for, at 41 to 5; Redmoor, ato ;
Craddock Moor, 39, genera. Wheal Market share 3 have
been flat, at 48 to 52; the dividend at the meeting was
£2 per share only, less tin having been sold, owing to its
low price. Providence Mines, 70 to 72 ; the Great Alfred,
5 ; East Tamar, 2 ; Pendeen, 2i- to 21, and a large busi-
ness doing in the shares, the mine being fully expected to
turn up a prize. Rosewarne and Herlind shares, which
have been a long time quiet, have again become inquired
for, at 41 to 5 ; H rodsfoot, 7. South Caradon, 340 ;
ex div. ; at the meeting,'a dividend of £8 per share, and a
bonus of £2 was declared, leaving a balance of £2,508
15s. 10d. in hand. Sortridge Consols, 12 to 2 rather flat;
Rosewarne, 221 to 25; North Prances, 10 to 12; Cm-
dnrrow, 110 to 115. East Russell, 21 to 2g-, and in
demand ; the mine said to be looking well. Par Consols,

The Imports of Specie this week were about half
a million sterling, viz. :-By the Belgium, from
Ostend, 1 bag bullion ; the Berenger, from Santan-
der, 10 cases silver, 6 bar?els specie ; the Pollux,
from Hamburg, 2 pkgs. specie ; the Dolphin, from
Antwerp, 7 cases, 1 sack, 1 pkg. bullion ; the Albion,
from Boulogne, 12 cases bullion ; the Tagus, from
the Mediterranean, 8,7321; the Arago, from New
York, 17,000 dollars, or 3,5001; the Baron Osy, from
Antwerp, 26 cases bullion.

The Exports have been small, viz. :—By the
Baltic; for New York, 10,0001; the Petropolis, for
the Brazil:, 20,000/, and to the Continent about
30,0001.

The Oflioial Return of the Exports of the Precious
Metals from the port of London for the week
ending Nov. 20, show a total of 19,130 ounces of
gold, and 1,200 ounces of silver coin.

The London Produce Markets have been very
inactive during the week, but prices have been
tolerably well maintained, owing to the indisposi-
tion on the part of importers to accept lower terms.
Y3sterday, however, there was more firmness,
the absence of failures and increased confidence
having imparted a better tone to the various mar-
kets. Grocery and refining descriptions of Sugar
were maintained, but the middling sorts were
heavy. C:;ffee has been rattier dull, but the market
for this article closed steadily. Cocoa has not
undergone any material change. Tea, at public
sale, went at enhanced rates, and Rice is in rather
more request. Ruin is cheapor, and Saltpetre
cannot be disposed of except at a decline. Spices
are flat, at about previous values. Tallow is firmer,
being 495. per cwt. on the spot The public sales
of Colonial Wool are not progressing with so much
animation, and a large quantity is being withdrawn.
During the past week no change took place in
the general state of the Leeds Woollen trade,
business having been very quiet in the cloth halls,
and. but few buyers in the town. The failure of
the Northumberland and Durham District Bank
caused a feeling of distrust, and there is little
disposition shown to increase trade until a more
settled state of affairs prevails. At Bradford there
was little inquiry for either Wools or Piece Goods,
and very little business had been done for either
home consumption or for exportation. The
factories generally are only working four days in
the week, in order to reduce production. Business
at Halifax eoritinued very inactive, and, to effect
sales of both Yarns and Piece Goods, lower rates
have to be submitted to. In Manchester no im•
provement can. be quoted in any branch of the
the Cotton Trade, and the few sales effected were
at a considerable decline upon last week's rates.
At Leicester there was a slight improvement, the
prudence of the manufacturers in reducing stocks
being fully apparent. The general tone of trade
was healthy, and but few failures had been
reported.
The failure is announced of Messrs. J. Hubbard
and Son, engaged in the wool trade at Leeds, but
the liabilities are believed to he limited.

It is stated that the East India Company have
already purchased another quarter of a million in
silver, destined for transmission to India by the
packet of the 4th of December. Remittances of
silver on mercantile account, however, are still
quite discouraged by the state of the money
market.

The steamer Baron Osy has arrived in the
Thames from Antwerp with 26,0001. in silver. The
Albion has also brought 12,0001. in silver from
Boulogne.

Hopes are entertained that arrangements may
be made for a resumption of payment on the part
of several of the large London firms in the Swedish
trade which lately suspended. Much will depend
on advices from Sweden, now shortly expected.
A dividend meeting is shortly to be held in the
Court of Bankruptcy, under the estate of Messrs.
Straiten. Paul, and Bates, when a further dividend
of Od in the pound is expected to be declared.
From Newcastle it is stated that a number of
the leading merchants and other parties, including
two directors of the suspended District Bank, have
held a meeting. and determined to form a private
bank.

The Julia has arrived from China, with 341,700
lbs of tea and 1,821 bales of silk.
A Belfast correspondent's letter, dated last
evening, states that the Markets for Flax have been
thinly attended for the last ten days, and rates
of hand-seutched range much below the quotations
current three months ago. In the general market
we should say that prices are 9d per stone under
those of November, 1856, and for milled, the rates
are now about 34 per stone lower. Yarns have
been rapidly getting into bulk since the middle of
last month. Large spinners find stock fast
increasing, but, in the face of that accumulation a
good deal of firmness exists. Rates would range
about 3d a bundle under recent quotations. At
the Exchange, yesterday, a spinner was
offered a large order at a reduction of
6d per bundle, but he refused to take it,
and continues to hold over. In the bleaching
department of the trade activity prevails, as manu
facturers who cannot sell brown goods have been
sending large lots to be got finished, in the hope
that the trade will have got round to a better con-
dition by the time the Linens are ready for sale in
the white markets. Brown Linens sell slowly even
at reduced rates, and those who can are holding
over. The loss on transactions, where needy sellers
force off goods, exceeds by a large figure the cost of

discounts, and the reports of the American markets
being more favourable, strengthen the confidence of
manufacturers.

The following are the Gazette average prices of
Muscovado Sugar, for the week ending Nov. 24,
1857, exclusive of Custom's duties payable thereon,
on the importation thereof into Great Britain :
From the West Indies, 26s Old per cwt.

THE NORTHERN TIMES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1857

W. B. Redid' as one of the ablest, best, and most practical
suggestions offered on the subject to which it refers, and
suggestive of decided improvements in the present system
of banking and currency.''
The following is the letter of Mr. Redish in extenso :
Sir,—Now, when we have a second time seen the Bank
Act of 1844 set aside by the Government at the earnest
supplication of the business community, and when even
the Times is driven to admit the want of an act to establish
sound and intelligible principles of currency, it behoves
every man—even at the risk of being in error—to advance
what he believes to be for the benefit of his country ; and
I, in the midst of so many conflicting opinions, venture to
offer mine, as being at least worthy of due consideration.
I therefore propose-
1. That the Bank of England should cease to be a bank
of issue on its own responsibility, and that Government
should assume the sole power of issuing paper' currency,
leaving all banks to be simply dealers iu money, and not
manufacturers of it.

2. That the Bank of England should continue its
functions as a public institution, managing the national
accounts as at present, but that the issuing of notes should
be conducted by two distinct branches of the national
executive, without either other duties or powers.
3. That a separate branch of the Mint conduct one
department, and be empowered to purchase all gold
which may be tendered, at a fixed standard price—say
£3 lis 9d per ounce, and issue notes to the depositor
equal to the amount so deposited, such notes to be
repayable in gold at the Mint on presentation.
4. That a national issue department be empowered to
receive deposits of Government securities from the Bank
of England or other banks, and be authorised to issue
national notes of £1 and upwards to the extent of three-
fourths of the par price of the stock deposited at any time
they may be demanded by the depositor ; the interest
ordinarily accruing to the depositor from the securities
to cease on the amount of notes as issued to him, and
recommence on his repayment of the notes.
5. That the above two denominations of notes be the
only issues of paper money permitted in the United King-
dom, be clearly distinguishable one from the other, and
equatly a legal tender.
The Mint notes being in fact a receipt from the
Government that the amount represented on the face of
them was absolutely held by the Mint in gold, no fears need
ever be entertained by holders as to their payment on
demand under any circumstances; and it is not unreason-
able to suppose that the confidence which would be placed
in these notes would be unfailing,
The national notes—although not redeemable in gold—
would be equally worthy ofconfidence, as the power which
depositors would have of returning them into the issue
department at any moment would, as far as the general
public is concerned, have precisely the same effect.
Although individually of totally independent action, the
operation of the one issue or the other would be of the
most reciprocal and flexible nature. If we assume the
required paper circulation to be £100,000,000, and that the
depositing of £30,000,000 of gold in the mint gave a circu—
lation in Mint notes to that amount, it is certain that the
commercial rate of interest would continue just s i much
above the rate of interest on Consols as to call £70,000,000
of national notes into existence, while any tendency of com-
mercial interest to fall to three per cent. would be at once
met by a withdrawal of national notes from circulation,
for it may be presumed that no banker would continue to
use these notes across the counter unless he could obtain
a higher rate of interest than the three per cent obtain-
able—without risk or trouble—from his securities. Thus
the whole of the required currency would have to consist
of Mint notes—with £100,000,000 ofgold absolutely in the
Mint coffers—before interest could be reduced commer_
cially to three per cent. ; and as the whole note circula_
tion required by the country is hardly likely to be so pro-
vided, it follows that three per cent. would become the
established national rate of interest, below which it could
not at any time fall. On the other hand, as
,the issue of
national notes would be only limited by the proportion
of the 400,000,000 of Government securities which would
be available for depositing, and the powers of the public
to pay a higher rate of interest than those securities
afford, it is equally clear that a demand for currency,
arising either from the withdrawal of mint notes from
circulation, or the expansion of trade, would bring out
national notes to an amount exactly equal to the daily
requirements—however great they may be—and this, not
by any violent application of the screw, but by the quiet
operations of the whole trading community.
The benefit to the national exchequer would be
considerable, as we may presume (after allowing for the
Mint notes and sovereigns currently in circulation) that
not less than 60 to 70 millions of the national notes would
be ordinarily used ; and as the interest on this amount
would not be required there would be at least a saving
directly of about £2,000,000 per annum, and indirectly of
the cost of raising that sum. The loss or destruction of
these notes would be a national gain. And it may be
further urged that while the withdrawal of gold for
exportation could be permitted at any time without the
least restriction—beyond that of a seignorage heavy
enough to prevent a removal of specie—hoarding, that
fertile source of financial distress, would be simply
detrimental to the individual who attempted it, as the
Government would save three per cent. on the national
notes called into circulation to supply the deficiency so
caused.

The adoption of this system could be most simple.' IThe
Bank would hand over the bullion in their possession to
the Mint and receive Mint notes to the same amount, and
on the exhaustion of these, in retiring their own notes,
obtain national ❑otes to the extent of about £11,000,000
against the d 14,475.000 of Government debt ; and. as it
is probable that the principal flow of notes would always
continue to be through this channel, could after that
deposit Government securities to be drawn against as

It is difficult to divine whether the notes for which
the bullion was undeniably held in readiness or those
which would, in point of fact, be fractional parts of the
national debt, secured from depreciation by a guarantee
of 25 per cent., would find most favour with the public ;
but it is clear that conjointly they would place the cur-
rency of this country on a solid and self-relying basis,
which it is now far from possessing, and that while in the
one case they would turn a delusion into reality, in the
other They would make both the man who judiciously
used and the man who stared t either gold or notes,
perhaps unwittingly, into a national benefactor.—l am,
