THE BAN! OF ENGLAND AND THE

AMERICAN HOUSES.

(From the Manchester Gua, dian of yesterday,)
Under the circumstances, the Bank Directors could
scarcely adopt any other course than that which they
have taken. They have supported the houses long enough
to admit of an immense reduction in their engagements ;
and have conferred a great benefit on the public by so
doing, and by so far protracting their fall ac to give oppor-
tunity to the commercial interests for providing, in some
degree, against its consequences ; whilst; by going further,
looking at the tenor of the last accounts from America,
they would have compromised the interests of their own
proprietors to an extent that 110 Gan;iduationa of benefit
to the commercial public could have justified them in doing.
It is, of course, at present, far too early -to estimate cor-
rectly the force of the shock which has been caused by the
c..tastrophe. Years, probably, must go by, before th;s shall
have altogether exhausted itself ; and some time must
elapse, before the whole of what may even be called its imme-
diate effects will he manifested. Hitherto, however, both

here and in Liverpool, the mischief appears to have been
considerably less than was expected. There have, we
believe, been some failures in the American trade in Liver-
pool—one of them, a house of considerable magnitude and
great respectability / but here, so far as we know, no sus-
pension of payment whatever, arising out of the state of
American affairs, has Liken place ; and we hope, though
there will, of course, be considerable losses, they may not
be found ruinous by the parties on whom they fall.
For the London houses, thus suddenly brought down
from the highest pinnacle of commercial eminence, and
plunged into insolvency, it is impossible not to feel much
sympathy. But that sympathy cannot be unmingled with
blame. They have allowed their ambition to carry them to
lengths Which it is not well that our merchants should aim
at, or at all to be desired that they should attain. It is
not fair mercantile business ; it is little less than madness,
that men, who, as the result of long and active lives passed
in the successful pursuit of legitimate commerce, may have
acquired their two or three hundred thousand pounds,
should enter into engagements for millions. These wild
and extravagant transactions are as injurious to the public
as they are hazardous to the parties themselves. Thy y in-
troduce into businesl a spirit of reckless speculation, which,
when it has once been excited, is never got rid of without
an explosion, sufficiently violent to cause deep suffering,
and often ruin, amongst multitudes of innocent parties.
It is the true interest of a commercial nation, that its
transactions should be as regular as possible—not liable to
be subjected to violent alternations of activity and depres-
sion. But this, such grasping eagerness, on the part of
individuals, as that the vffects of which the country is now
feeling, always tends to prevent: These parti s, with a
few others, have endeavoured virtually to monopolize a
business which, from its magnitude, required to be more
spread, and they have failed ; bringing ruin, not only on
themselves, but probably on numbers of victims, who have
had no culpable part in the proceedings which have termi
nated so inauspiciously. We believe it is well known that
there are several of the oldest, most respectable, and most
opulent houses in Liverpool, who, foreseeing the danger
that was involved in the manner in which the American
business has of late been carried on, have, for a consider-
able time past, been doing comparatively nothing, and are
now quite at ease.
We wish we could hope that present experience might
lead to a permanent amendment in our commercial maxims
and practice. We fear, however, that unless the Legis-
lature, by a vigorous and early reform of the banking
system, reduces the danger of an injurious expansion of
the currency, or rather sufficiently provides against it in
future, we shall see the lessons of these times forgotten
or disregarded, and at no very distant period find a season
of unbounded confidence again suddenly succeeded by one
of irrational distrust and wide-spreading insolvency.
