vertible tact. In the ansosemt alone of the issues of
the Bank of England, compared with those of thy
Bank of Ireland, does any difference exist. This
difference, however, is a matter of no importance
in the view of the subject here taken ; or, indeed,
in any other view that can be taken touching the
practicability of forging, or the facility of detec-
tion. It is here sufficient to know, that the issue
of the Bank of Ireland •mounts to the sum of
from four to five millions, to bring the question. as
to operation and effect, sufficiently near for every
useful purpose.
" Indeed, when the peculiar and critical
tion, with respect to its circulating medium, from
which Ireland ha. emerged, be taken iuto sun•;.
deration, the case will be found • hundred-fold
stronger in favour of the Bank of that country.
" Previously to 11114, the notes of the Bank of
Ireland were executed iu thnt common-place man-
ner in which those of the Bank of England smut
appear. They presented no greater &if Yolty of
imitation then what a very slender preteii,:ion to
engraving was adequate to surmount. Toe cost.
sequence was, that successful imitation %tas within
the reach of a very numerous and needy class of
men.

At this time, however, the latter were engaged
'More in the consideration of means of checking
the great evil of forgery. than 111 the policy or
economy of merely numbering thrir 'notes by any
new process.
" It would be doing injustice to Mr. Oldham,
were it here omitted to be stated, that finding flee
object of the Batik was to prevent the circulation
of foie+►ies, atoll that the security of the 'English
note was attributed to this stereotype effect: with a
extitiour quite characteristic of this ingenimie siti,t.
lie Üb-erseil, that he could tact Ihitik of presenting
his Onailiering proems, as likely to be atteoffell with
any advantage in that way; that he.was incapable
of holding tint such false lights; on the emitter',
that inithitig cotild be easier then to codt►terfrit this
stereotype effect, 'and that he was even of opinion
that for some time it would rather tend to liacreare
the carrency of foigiries.
•• \lr. Oldham's services, however, being en-
•gaged, and hiving perfected his plan of numbering
and dating in the mom efficient and satisfactory
foamier, lie turned his attention to the means of
producing such distinguishing characterNtics in the
Hole, as would operate ae an effectual Check, if not
tthsolate hairier againat the circulation of forgries.
In a word, he'sfedrid to famish Ike public. ?goo-
iest as well as e*lighlened, with the means if de-
tection. Hr undertook to produce a aote which
would require thCistrims of different classes of Went
low-aids the production of a successful
'lle also undertook, that when The details of the
note shoula'be agreed upon and engraved. it should
jarroer continuo the same, with the most perfect
identity in all its pros; and further, that be would
'sontltice them min in any given quantity re-
witted.
" It may he said, its one wont, that aimmt per-
.feel security ha. been obtained for the public, as
fares is practicable, considering the facility with
which imposition is term:tired on ignorance and care-
lessness. In •fact, et is barely possible that even
must illiterate will can be deceived, if lie take
the simple precantion of looking at what is pre-
sented to him. for the purpose of inquiry. and
with common-place emotion ; owe 'half the care no-
cessary is avoiding light or cusn►erfeit gainers
being sufficient to prevent iirpositiois 'by forged
'Nees.
" In the metropolis, where the 'forgeries pre-
'veiled in the greatest number. they have been for
n long time conipandisely banished. This alone
i. a point of. conridentble importance. It may tit-
deed be. asserted, that there afe none is circulation.'
Mr. %V Minna; reined's, that some attempts have
been made to imitate the Irish note, but that the
tnrgery has beau almost iostanCy detected, even by
am ordinary observer. IVith respect to the Batik.
be says, that sluice the first issue of these notes, now
nerdy tour years, not a single forged note has gone
into account ; and that should a forged note happen
to be in a parcel of notes given into the Bank, it is
'so instantly detected by the clerk, even in the act
of counting the notes, without any particular mi.
'apectioo, the 'clerk throws it out with the same
'smite aud-certainty one would detect a shilling in a
parcel of guineas in the set of counting them..
Thus the exsatioatiou of the notes, and the opera-
tion of counting. proceed pari passe, and with
equal certainty and celerity.
The note of the frith Bank is far from being
'what way called a perry note ; but the beeity of
its appearance is of far less importonce than the
object which Mr. Oldham sought to obtain. It
was never intended by the artiet as a specimen of
Ike art; bbtthe einication of it require* so much
labour, such various kinds of skill, and such inge-
nuity, as to deter all attempts at fraudulent imita-
tion; but the principal advantage diet attends the
circulation of it is, that while in this cottony none
bat u Bank Inspector, after much study. and
eia-
tittiustion,can diecover a forgery, in 'lreland it
'con be instantly detected by every person in busi-
ness.

Nor let it be imagined that this facility of detec-
tion crises from the unskilfulness of the forgers, its
if fraud were less ingeniutis in Ireland than it has
beets peuve;d to be in Eugland. It is well &mws)
tl at during the eirculatiou of the former Irish flute,
by far the greater number of the forgeries osi it were
executed in England, end it may be presumed, as
lorgery would be nearly as valuable its nue (mita, y
ar in the other, that the practised offenders *neither
side of the Channel would suffer no oppost yto
pass of po.histg their advantage, if they found as
great a facility of imitating the note of the Bank of
lrelai,d as they do in imitating that of the Bank of
England,. Mr. Oldham's scheme, how. ver, ha. soot
• passed unopposed, and it is surprising, with all the
advantages of four years experience its its favour,
that it should be rejected by the Governor of the
Batik of England, who, so en Mt ewMtasfy of tiffs

A letter from Calais, of the 24th October, says,
" Several transports laden with baggage have al-
ready sailed. The remaining Imggage and horses
of the English army continue incessantly to be em-

tain number of regiments will be embarked until
the contingent shall be entirely withdrawn. The
advance guard 'ef some regiments of infantry
is already arrived. The number of troops that are
expected to pass through is calculated at 16 or
27,000 men, including artillery; infantry, and
cavalry. Measures of police are adopted to pre-

THE QUEEN.

Both the QUEEN'S Doctors have been in close
attendance during Friday and Saturday nights, as
well as in the day time. On Saturday morning
they did not issue the Bulletin till much later than
the usual time. The following is a copy :

" Kew Palace, October 31, 1111$.
The Queen has had several boors sleep, but the symp-
Writ of her Majesty's disease remaio unchanged. ,

"F. MILYAN,

The Duke of YORK, after transacting military
business with Sir H. Toeazxs, and other official
Gentlemen in London on Saturday morning. arrived
at Kew Palace about twelve o'clock, where he re-
mained about an hour and a half, and after he had
partaken of some r. freslimenr, his Royal Highness
proceeded on his way to Windsor, and from thence
to his seat at Gotland*, where there was a select
party to meet the Royal Duke.
The Bulletin respecting the QUEEN yesterday,
was ab follows :

Several booksellers here have received from Lou-
don a pamphlet called L'Argus Pvlitivue dedi-
cated first to the King of France, and then coil• r•-
lively to the Emperors of Austria and Rnesia, the
King of Prussia. and the Prince Regent of Eng-
land. %Ire doubt whether these Sovereigns will
accept of the dedication of this work, which is di-
rected against the Frentli Ministry and the Char-
ter. The author is aM. de Chiihannes, teho pre-
tends that a person is in a better situati.ni at bin-
don to judge of France than lie is at Paris. By
this sample we nay judge of the author's logic.
It is certain that the Congress will be dissolved
towards the 10th of November, and that then a de-
claration will be issued, winch will clear up all un-
certainties respecting the progress, the object, and
the result of the negotiations.

AIX-LA-CHAPF.I.I.R. OCTOBER 27.
[most a Lyme]
The Chief President, M. Inger*leben, left this
city some days ugo, sent by the King to meet the
Empress Dowager of Russia at the frontiers of his
Government, and to sccomnany her to Cologne,
where her Majesty will stop some days. She will be
received in that city by the Chief President, Count
de Lolmes Limbach, who will attend her Majesty to
Aix-la-Chapelle, where every thing is prepared for
her reception. The Sovereigns are expected very
soon.

The Princes of Neuwied, Lowenstein, Waldeck,
and many others, are already here. They will be
followed by the heads of all the other mediatised
Houses. It is supposed their concerns will be dis-
cussed and arranged in the conferences. Several of
the purchasers of Westphalian domains have come
hither for the same purpose. Indeed, so much bu-
siness is accumulating for the Congress, that it
will last longer than was belieeed ; what proves
this is, that the contracts for the lodgings hiive
been prolonged. A circumstance which is cation.
hated to excite attention, and to furnish new mutter
for negotiation, is the arrival of the King of Bova.
rig and other German Sovereigns, who are expected
Isere shortly.

The intended redactions in the army, although
amounting to upwards of 30,000 men, are very dis-
proportionate to those in the navy. The reductions
in the latter, as they respect the shipping part, have
been brought down to a scale of depression that
almost destroys its efficiency for any present pin-
pose or future emergency. The following regula-
tions have been just issued, and are now carrying
into effect at Portsmouth, Plymouth, and in the
River :

Reduction in Grimed Ships.—A three-decker re•
diced to a complement of 135 (from 360), includ-
ing a serjeatit's party of marines : if a flag-ship, to
have ten more marines, ten additional seamen, and
a subaltern of Royal Marines. Three Lieutenants,
the Chaplain, Second Master, sixteen Midshirmen,
and Assistant-Surgeon reduced.
A two-decker reduced from 300 to a complement
of ninety-five, including serjeant's party of marines:
but if bearing a flag, to have the same addition of
seamen and marina as that to which the three-
deckers are entitled. One Lieutenant, Second
Muster, one Assistant-Surgeon, and ten Midship-
men, with Chaplain, reduced.
The lower masts and yards only are to be kei.t
rigged ; topmasts pointed through the caps ; the
boats to be returned to the dock-yard, and a cut-
ter and two small boats substituted to each ship.
from the Ordinary. They are to have one awnith's
provisions, and water complete on board. The
whole will make a reduction of about :2,000 men.
The cruising ships are not reduced.

By these regulations, only live sail of the line
will in future be kept in any tolerable state of
equipment: one in the East Indies, one iii the Me-
diterranean, one lit St. Helena, one at Leith, and
one at Cork. The remaining eight guard-ships
will be placed upon the low scale mentioned.—One
Naval Chaplain only will be appointed fur list ships
at each port.

A vessel is arrived et the. Motherbank from the
Nlediterrateruil, which states dist the plague has
considerably increased at Tangiers-134 deaths
from the ISth to the 21st Septembers and continues
to rage in all the villages and neighbourhood.
States also that E 3 persons died in Tetuan on the
e3d Septembe►. Also send to have broken out at
Altquintz. The Emperor bad removed to Fez
up to the 40th September the public health was
good there.
