"LONDON, FRIDAY. Ftsituwar 3, 1826.

We never remember a period when the Speech tram the
Throne at the opening of the Session was looked tar with
greater Fol ici tutle. The convulsion which his so recently
shaken the commercial worts., and the shock of which has
not yet subsided, will easily account f.ir this anxiety,
" Some of the causes to which this evil must be attributed
lie," it is justly observed, `• beyond the reach of Parlia-
mentary interposition, nor can security against the recur-
rence of t:,ent be found unless in the experience of the suf-
ferings which they have occasioled." It was to be expected
that the attention of Parliament would be 'drawn to the
subject of the paper currency. We may therefore conclude,
that among the earliest measures of the present Session
will be one that shall give the public seine cliective secu-
rity against the failure of country banks, by restraining
their issues of paper to the funds which guarantee the sol-
vency of the firm.

The Speech givesui the gratifying assurance that Great
B;itain has every prospect before it of a lasting tranquillity.
This will of itself sford the most efli.:ient means of restoring
trade and cot.ridence to a sound condition. There perhaps
never was a perioil in the history of the world in which it
was mor.• esstntial to ail the States of r. urope to preserve
that mutual good understanding by which 'alone they can
renew their strength and restore their prosperity.
The Speech very judiciously abstains from allusion to
the distresi of the silk trade. It leaves the moo of this
