accumulations—the aggregate sum should thus be esti- '
mated on the:footing that the estate should have credit for
the sums that have been paid, and that the particular le-
gatees should be paid the balance. The question is whe-
ther they were so entitled? in the first place, according
to the ordinary rule of this Court, in administering the
estate of a testator, the Court in the first instance waits
until all 'the claims are settled and the aggregate sum is
ascertained: when that is done, then the particular le-
gatees do fund their principal and interest at four per cent.
if they are entitled to interest up to that time. In this
particular instance, on account of the fund being so
large with reference to the claims upon it, the
Court anticipated tke payment to the legatees; it allowed
them to receive from time to time their interest,whenever
it could be paid with secusity to others, and so much also
of the principal as: the sums to be so appropriated would
justify ; and the question is, whether in this case the
Court will depart from that ordinary rule, for the pur-
pose of granting them that which they pray ? My Lord
Eldon refused to make any order on the petition of 1814 ;
he continued in office for twelve years afterwards, and no
attempt was wade to renew the application before
bins. It appears to me that the consequence of acceding
to this application would be that the Court would establish
a new principle, and that new principle which the Court
would establish would, unless it were laid down as a uni-
versal rule, be productive of this inconvenience and this
injustice—it would be to give an election to particular
legatees ; the particular legatee, if the funds were very
low, would apply to the Court t 3 have an ap-
propriation, for in that cave he would receive snore
than the four per cent. interest which the Court
otherwise allows him ;V the three per cents. were
for instance at 50, instead of receiving four per
cent. they would receive about six per cent, and they
would take their chance of the funds rising. If, on the
other hand, the Three per Cents. were at from 90 to 100,
they would not make the application for the appro-
priation, because it would he better to take the Four per
Cents., which the Court allowed. This, therefore would
be to give to the particular legatees a benefit at the expense
of the residuary legatees. The question in the end re-
solves itself consequently into this ? Ought we to establish
this as a general rule—is it a better rule than the
Court has acted on hitherto ? I think not. I think it
better to go on the rule the Court has fixed and applied in
all past cases, and that, therefore, this fund must be con-
sidered as belonging to the residuary legatees.
The Soeserrou-Geuxuar. applied that this order might
be made on the petition of the residuary legatees, to which
the Court assented.

TO THE ELECTORS op WESTMINSTER.

"21, Charles-street, Berkeley-square, Aug. S.
" Ottitlemen,—l would not venture to thank you for the
honour which you have again conferred upon me, did I not feel
confident that, in thus sending me for the third time to Parlia-
ment, you have chosen a Representative who will endeavour, to
the best of his ability, to be the faithful interpreter of your
wishes, and the uncompromising defbnder of your rights.
" It is almost impc.asible that my political sentiments should
be in unison with those of all my constituents; but I trust, that '
in the discharge of my public duty during twelve Sesaions of

liamentary Reform end have contributed to the advancement of
those principles which I hold in common, I believe, with the
great majority of the electors of Westminster • and also that,
while endeavouring to maintain your political privileges, I have
not forgotten your local interests.
Gentlemen, I should now conclude that which gratitude and
a Genie of what I owe to you and to myself would prompt me to
say, did I not, at this moment of addressing you, learn that your
cause, the great cause, the only rational object of political intro-
PiditY, has found amongst Frenchmen, patr.ots willing to 'host
their blood for that which your ancestors fought for--a tree Par:
!lament. 'fhe sea which separates us--the rivalry which has
long arrayed that great nation amongst our foremost antagonists,
will not prevent you from sympathising with these glorious en.
deevours; and I feel certain, that whatever may be our differ..
ences as to domestic policy, ail Englishmen, horn the throne to

Issue of that struggle which is to decide whether the will of the

TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, AND FREE-
HOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF YORk.
CIINTLEMEN,
N the claim of some successful endeavours
N., to be useful to my Country, which justifies my
hope that in Parliament my eerviees might not be classed
with those of the corrupt and the idle, I respectfully offer
myself as a Candidate for the County of York.
I disclsim any indirect method to acquire the high
honour to which I aspire, and consistently with my De-
claration in 1819, to the Freeholders in the North-Riding,
and to the Freemen of York, and at the last Election to
those of Pontefract, resisting every temptation " To Cor-
rupt the Morals of any Population by Bribery," I will not
deviate in the slightest degree frem Purity of Election.
In my attempt to restore to this large County the first
principles of the Constitution, the example, if I am only
moderately supported, may hereafter he followed by abler
sad more influential men ; but success, if obtained, will
not be. more satisfactory to myself than it will be honour-
able to thou Electors who, bringing themselves to the Poll
at their own expence, will dignify their County, however
imperfect the services of the Individual so independently
chosen as a Representative of the People.
My Principle, are well known, from the part I have
taken in public affairs during the twenty years I have re-
sided in Yorkshire, and I shall be ready more particularly

GUILDHALL.

William Briton, a ie-man, resldinif in Field-lane,
Holborn, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE
lyesterday, upon a charge of knowingly receiving a
gold watch which was stolen from an Hungarian
gentleman named Toth, by his footboy, of which
offence the latter was convicted at the last Old
Bailey Sessioes.
The principal witness against the prisoner was a
shrewd little boy, about 13 years of age, who had
just been discharged from the House of Correction,
and who gave his name William Edmead. He
stated that on the 7th of June, Charles Wells, the
footboy, came to him and said he had stolen his
master's watch, and would be glad if he would
assist him to get rid of it. Witness answered, he
did not mind doing so, and he went to the prisoner,
who stood on Holborn.hill, and was in the habit of
buying stolen goods from boys. Wells told him to
ask W. for the watch, but he said he should ask al.,
and did so. The prisoner asked him to wait while
he went to see a man who would buy it ; and wit-
ness watched him to the shop of Mr. Reeves, the
pawnbroker, on Snow-hill. When the prisoner
returned be gave witness a shilling, and Wells Bs.
6d., in part payment; and they treated him with
ale et a public-house in Fleet-market. Soon after
they called on him again, and he said he could not
give more than 30s. for the watch. He had offered
it for sale, saying be had given 15/. for it down in
the country, and he was laughed at, and told it was
only metal, and worth 30s. Witness replied that
the story would not do for him, and he must have
31,, and the prisoner then gave him a sovereign and
half more, with which he and Wells started for
Deptford air. Wells was taken there, and com-
mitted for trial. Witness was apprehended next
day, but was discharged, when he called on the
prisoner and told him what had happened. Prisoner
then gave him 7s. od, more, upon which witness
bought ls. worth of h's pies, and treated him with
ale, and took 54. worth of things into Newgate to

Richard Wells, the brother of the boy who was
convicted, deposed that the priiioner had admitted to
him he had purchased this watch, and sold it again
for may 41.

The- prisoner declared be knew noi ping of the
watch or the boys, but
Sir P. LAlMlE,after questioning the parties at con-
siderable length, remanded the prisoner till Friday,

TRIBUTE TO THE FRENCH.

The following letter bee been communicated to tts by
Colonel Thompson :

MAIISTMSQUAIiIt, AM. 3, 18110.
MY DILAR Sin,-1 consider the conduct of the people of France
so meritorious, and their carts so Important to the liberties and
rights of Europe, that I shall have much pleasure in concurring
in any measure that shall call forth the sympathy of the Metro.
polls in behalf of the Widows and Children of the brave Men
who fell In the Cause of Liberty.
It is not so much the amount that should be contributed
towards those who have lost their protectors (as I feel confident
the French people will provide liberally for them), as it is to ma-
nifest in the English mode the desire the people of this Metro.
lolls have to mark their approbation of their spirited conduct,
as speedy as it was effectual, against the outrageous conduct of
their Government.
I request you will put down my m'te towards the subscription ;
and I shall with pleasure attend a public Meeting, or concur in
any measure that may be thought best, for marking the high ap.
probation of the British people of the conduct of the Parisians
on so trying an occasion.

Believe me, your's, sincerely, HUME

LA MBETILSTREET.

A desperate character named William Waller
was brought to this office in company with a man
named John Shea, charged with committing a bur-
glary in the house of Captain Thaker, a gentleman
residing in Colet-place, Commercial-road.
The prisoners were remanded.
In the course of the hearing of the case, Mr.
Gunning, the clerk, observed that the new police
gave no infoi :nation of robberies at this office, in
fact they strove all they could to withhold it. He
thought such a course very improper. If when
such information was given at any of the station-
houses, it was immediately forwarded to this office,
it would be transferred to the Hue and cry, and by
such publicity pawnbrokers and others would be
enabled to stop stolen 'property, and assist in the
detection of the offenders.

Mr. WYATT concurred in these observations.
Inspector Drew was not at liberty then and there
to explain the reason why all information of rob-
beries was kept secret by the new police. There
the conversation dropped.
Mr. HARDWICK has received a letter from Ikey
Solomons, respecting the property which was seized
at his fence in the New North-road by Lea, the
officer. Mr. Hardwick yesterday gave orders that
Lea should make nut a list of every thing, and in
what way any portion of the property may have
been d►sposed of, and lay it before him.

MURDER AT AUDLEM, CHESHIRE.

(From the Chester Courant.)
It becomes our painful duty to record the prema-
ture death of a fellow-creature at Audlem, near
Nantwich. The unfortunate sufferer is the wife of
Mr. Joseph Cheaters, butcher and publican, residing
at the Phmnix Inn, Audlem.
On Monday evening Mr. Cheaters, having corn.
pleted his hay-harvest, gave the mowers and assis-
tants, among whom was his brother, John Cheaters,
a harvest supper. About half-past, twelve John
Cheaters left his brother's house with the intention
of going home, and was accosted in the street by a
person of the name of Thomas Hassell, who was
accompanied by another person of the name of Sam-
brook Furber, by the appellation of " Old Bacon-
sides," with a request to be paid a small sum of
money due to him (l 1 ssal') from Chester,. Words
ensued, and eventually John Cheaters collared Hassell
and shook him. The consequent noise brought Mr.
Joseph Cheaters and his workmen to the scene of
contention ; the wordy warfare was renewed, and
John Cheaters struck Hassell, and felled. him. A
scuffle then took place.
It appears that Joseph lleaton,one of the mowers,
took an active part in the fracas, when Samuel
Heaton, another mower, interfered to prevent Hassell
striking his father as he suspected that was his in-
tention, but Hassell disclaimed any such notion; and
as Samuel Heaton was turning away, he received a
wound in the back of his neck from some sharp in-
strument, which made him very sick and faint, and
which he believed was inflicted by Hassell. The
continued hubbub brought Mrs. Cheaters to • the
spot, who told Hassell it would look better to pay
what he owed her than to make a disturbance there.
He said he would, and from the contradictory
reports prevalent, it appears that they exchanged
blows. He was, however, afterwards seen to clasp
her round the neck with his left arm, and in the
struggle they both fell to the ground, Hassell under-
most. Joseph Heaton ran to her assistance, and on
lifting her up, heard her distinctly articulate—" Oh,
thou has struck mer—and she expired soon after-
wards. Sambrook Pother was secured directly, and
Hassell was delivered up by his father the next day.
The deceased was in her 29th year, and has left one
child.

A Coroner's inquest has been held upon the body,
and the Jury returned a verdict of" Wilful Murder"
against Hasball as the principal, and against Purber
as aiding and abetting, and they were accordingly
committed on the Coroner's warrant to Chester
Castle to await their trial. The prisoners are both
young men under 20 years of age.

SUMMER ASSIZES.

HOME CIRCUIT..MAIDgTONE, Aua. 4.
NORRINGTON V. STROUDS.

This was an action for slander, arising out of a
parish equable. Both the ►arties were respectable
farmers in the parish of ',odium. A meeting had
taken place in the vestry-room, upon parish business;
this was productive of high words, and considerable
warmth was displayed. On that occasion the plain-
tiff and defendant were on opposite aides of the
question in dispute, and the latter was ultimately
defeated. When the meeting was over, a number
of persons who had been present adjourned into the
street, where an altercation ensued, in the course of
which the defendant made use of the words, which
constituted the ilander complained of, " You are a
sheep-stealer," repeating them again and again.
The plaintiff, anxious to avoid any continuance of
this unpleasant affair, directed an application to be
made, through his attorney, to the defendant for an
apology, hoping that words used in the heat of the
moment would be retracted in cooler moment..
This application was disregarded; a second letter,
however, was received, intimating that no apology
would he *turtle, and that the defendant was ready
to abide by any measures Mr. Norrington might
think proper to adopt. All other means having
failed by which the imputation could be removed, it
became requisite to adopt the present proceedings.
The Jury returned a verdict for th• defendant.

MARYLEHONE.

A Mrs. Susannah Hill, who described her husband
to be Surveyor General In the Excise Office, com-
plained before Mr.llawtinsort yesterday, that she had
been robbed of . her reticule in Baker-street, the pre-
ceding evening. She was returning from Bond-street,
about half-put nine o'clock with another lady, and
she hail reason to believe the thief followed them
from thence, She saw him, after h. snatched away
her bag, and she ran after him, crying." stop thief,"
.but lost sight of him in a court.
Mr. Itewurisoikt asked what the hag contained ?
—She said some new lace, she had just purchased,
some lace caps, her purse, with about 161. in it, and
other more trifling articles.
Edward Fletcher, a serjeant in the A division of
the new police, saw the robbery committed, and
pursued the thief down York-court, and into a small
passage that heeds out of it. The thief entered a
house,and he was so close behind, that he got his body
hilt in, but the thief closed the door upon him, and
held him between the door and the door-post. Un-
fortunately, he (the eerjearit) was in plain clothes,
he was not on duty, and does not belong to this
district, and another policeman, who vas brought
to the spot by the cry of 0 stop thief," took him
into costody
" Took the hound instead of the to* r
RAIVLINSON...-" Yei," replied Fletcher, " and be-
fore I could convince him that I' was au officer
myself, the thief made his escape by the buck door,
after stripping off his jacket end cep, . which I here,
produce.'
William Hooker, a serjeant of the division D,
ap-
prehentled at a late hour in - the evening. a young
man, named Thomas Ward ; he found him near the
Place arid be suspected him to be the thief. He
was placed at the bar, and_

RANYLV4SON asked Mrs, Hill if she knew

him ? She replied, "I can swear to this jacket
and cap, but he is not the man."
Fletcher said he was not the thief, but he was in
company with him when the robbery was committed.
Mr. RAwLINsON remanded him till Saturday,
hoping in the mean time to find the other.
On Sunday Oxford-street was thrown into a state
of alarm by cries of " Murder !" uttered by a lady
in a phaeton, which a gentleman was driving at a
most furious rate. The police stopped the carriage,
and after ascertaining that the dangerous manner in
which the gentleman drove was the only cause of
the lady's distress, they took his name and residence,
Mr. Phillip Klift, No. 168, Strand, and suffered it
to proceed. tie was brought by virtue of a sum-
mons before Mr. RAwuNsorr yesterday, and charged
with endangering the lives of his Majesty's subjects
by wilful misconduct, and the charge was fully
established by the evidence of most respectable
witnesses.

Mr. BAWLINSON told him it was, in his opinion,
a case which deserved the severest punishment pre-
scribed by law, and he was fined 205.; and more-
over, for the security of his Majesty's subjects, he
must give bail to keep the peace for a twelvemonth.
Mr. Klift paid the fine, and gave the security

PUBLIC WORKS.-(IRELAND.)

COPY OF A REPORT OF MR. NIMMO ON THE PRO-
GRESS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS IN THE WESTERN
DISTRICTS OF IRELAND, IN THE YEAR 1929.

TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD FRANCIS
LEVESON GOWER.

Marlborough-street, Dublin, March 10, 1830.
MY LORD).—I have the honour to submit for the infor-
mation of his Excellency the following statement of the
progress of the Public Works in the Western District,
during the year 1829.
The operations this season have been mainly confined to
the forwarding of the large bridges on the coast road, at
the head of Lough Corrib, in the glen of Errife, and also
thuse destroyed by the floods on the line of Erris road.
Much of the funds from this year's grant have been ex-
pended in the way of repair, the extent of road now used,
and not delivered up to the Directors General, being about
200 miles.

COUNTY OF MAYO.

The north coast road intended to connect Killala with
Broadhaven bad been suspended for some time; the
bridges were unfinished, and there had occurred a con-
siderable breach in one place by a mountain torrent. The
country people however had made from their own means
temporary passes, so as to take advantage of the portion
done, and I directed a repair to be given to it this season,
so that a cart passage is now practicable as far as Made-
! ig, with the exception of Glenlassera Bridge, where they
must unload. A cons:derable increase of culture and po-
pulation has, even in its imperfect state, occurred from this
opening, and a number of good stone houses have been
built at Behey, Glenlassera, and Belderig. The com-
pleting this road, and its connection with the central Erris
line at 13ealacoirig Bridge, are much to be desired ; be-
tween this last line and the north coast there is a district
of 350 square miles, highly improvable, without any prac-
cntihiceianeliliesoenc:

SEPARATION OF LORD AND LADY BYRON.
THE COURT JOURNAL of
SATURDAY, April 3, contains an article on this
all-engrossing subject, written in a strain and spirit altoge-
ther different from any thing which has hitherto appeared,
and calculated to compel the dissipation of that darkness
which (for what reason it is impossible for the public even
to guess) has been studiously thrown around the causes
which led to the event referred to. If the friends and ad-
visers of Lady Byron can resist the call for unqualified dis-
closure which is here made upon them, their nerves must
be stronger than either their judgments, or their sense of
justice.—Morning Chronicle.
N.B.—The Numbers of the Court Journal, that were
out of Print having been again reprinted, complete Sets
of the First Quarterly Part, for 1530, may be obtained on
early application. The last Number of the Quarter, for
Saturday, March 27, contains the Articles on English
Equipages and Noble Celibataires, which have excited so
much attention. This New Weekly Journal of Fashion,

but of the Breakfast Table and the Study, is regularly

LA.MBETILSTREET.

Mr. James Chapman, one of the newly-elected
overseers for the ensuing year for the hamlet of
Mile.end Old-town, yesterday applied to Messrs.
WALKER and HARDWICK, to know if they could
not excuse him from serving the office.
Mr. HARDWICK had no power to interfere.
Elizabeth Allumod, a respectable young woman
apparently about 23 years of age, was charged with
concealing the birth of her child.
It appeared that the prisoner lived servant at the
house of a lady in Montagu•terrace, Mile-end-road,
and, from some suspicion that was excited, Dr. New,
the doctor to the hamlet, was sent for, when she
denied that she had been delivered of a child ; but
upon his searching, the body of the child was found
concealed in a box.

The prisoner said she did not know she was so
near confinement, and that the child was still born,
and never moved.

She was remanded until Tuesday.

Mr. Charles HoNouse, the sugar-baker, whose
house was burnt down last week in Back-lane, ap-
peared yesterday to answer an information laid
against him by Woodroff, the street-keeper of St.
George's in the East, under Mr. M. A. Taylor's
act, for leaving a quantity of rubbish on the foot-

way pavement. h aneating from the evidence
that the rubbish was only left there in consequence
of the fire, the information was dismissed, with
costs.

THE MARKETS.

SOUTHALL MARKET.-April 7.
In this day's market, which exhibited about an average
time of year supply, and was thinly attended by buyers,
each kind of meat met with a very sluggish sale, at the
following prices per stone of Sib. to sink the offal..

Beef V 3s. Od. to 4s. Od Veal ss. 2d. to 6s. 2d.
Mutton 3 AI 4 6 Pork 3 6 4 6

Lamb to Od, to 7s. 4d.

The foregoing quotations are, Beef, Mutton, and Veal, 2d.,
Lamb 4d. to tkl. per stone higher than on this day se'imight ;
in prices of Pork no alteration.—Beasts, '223; Sheep and Lambs,
3,356; Calves, 51; Pigs, 126. But a small part of the supply
left the market unsold.

THE CENTRAL ERRIS ROAD FROM CASTLEBAR TO BLACK

SOP POINT.

Of the nine bridges carried away by the torrents in June,
1828, two only now terrain unfinished, one of these
Beltra is partly done, that at Bonavon is arespeetable work.
The improvement in agriculture and trade, which I de-
scribed in my report on this line last year, goes on appar-
ently with increasing vigour. At Belmullet the number
of houses is nearly doubled ; three large corn stores, of
three floors each, were built up this year, and 1,000 tons
of corn in store ; they trade direct to the British markets,
and drew a considerable portion of their last grain from
Broadhaven and Dunkeighan, where, as is well known, it
used to be entirely devoted to illicit distillation: They
complain much of the want of a resident custom-house
officer at this place, having for every small cargo to bring
one from Westport, fifty miles, at a considerable expense,
besides frequent delay and loss of market.
Binghamstown is also improving, the piers there and at
Tarmon finished ; the latter much used as a rendezvous
for the herring fishery, which set in to a considerable ex-
tent this season.
London, England, 1830-04-09

GUILDHALL

Yesterday an elderly gentleman, who gave the
name of James, the venerable respectability of whose
appearance was but little calculated to excite the
idea of a Tom and Jerry freak in the mind of a
looker-on, appeared to answer the complaint of
George Bush, a watchman, for committing an
assault upon his lantern the preceding night, with,
intent to injure the same.
The watchman then stated, that about half-past
eleven o'clock on Wednesday night Mr. James came
up to him, struck the lantern he was carrying, and
when remonstrated with on committing such an out-
rage on the guardian of the night, replied, that he
would smash it all to,pieces with the stick he then
held in his hand. The watchman did not consider
such proceedings fit and becoming, and accordingly
conducted Mr. James before the night constable, to
take his opinion whether an assault upon a watch-
man's lantern was not a breach of the peace, inas-
much as the lantern was then and there performing
a public duty; and the night constable being► of opi-
nion that the said assault was a breach of the peace,
more especially as the lantern being fastened in front
to the watchman's person, by the philosophical prin-
ciple of action and re-action, the watchman's person
must be a participator in the effects produced by the
blow ; therefore Air. James was booked for the
Compter.
The parties then retired, when Mr. James's metallic
arguments effectually appeased the offended digstity
of the watchman.

CONAMARA.

This important line has received some further amelio-
ration this season by levelling and fencing the old road in
places, paving under Errive bridge, &c. The complet-
ing the parapet walls of that bridge I had to suspend for
the season, but carts puss it from the Conamara side into
Westport, and corn from the head of Lough Corrib is
now taken to that market instead of Galway, in which
direction, though the distance is nearly equal, the roads
are not so practicable. The mountain floods and high
tides of last year have done some damage to the western
extremity of the road, which I have not been able to
overtake.

NEWPORT TO AND ACROSS ACIIIL ISLAND.

I have this year extended the road from the sound acio,s
Achil Island, and, taking advantage of the sound at low
water, a light carriage may go as far as the lands of
Keem, on the Western Ocean. The convenience to the
population is very great ; they bring their corn to the
shore at Saula or Cashel by the new road, and thence send
it by a boat to Westport or Belmullet, or take it on horse-
back across the sound, when it can be done, all along thu
line to Newport. I have done nothing further to the ferry
piers, which are now the moat necessary improvement.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

COMMITTEE FOR COIN.

QUERIES GIVEN IN WRITING TO THE GOVERNOR AND

DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
1. Whether, in the opinion of the Bank, it be de-
sirable that there should be established and main-
tained in this country, at the same time that we
maintain the existing silver currency, a silver cur-
rency as a legal tender, the value of which should
bear to gold nearly that proportion which is esta-
blished in France,—say about 151 to 1 ?
Whether, if such an arrangement be desirable, it
would be preferably effected by issuing silver coin of
the same denomination, but of a different Braude' d
from the present, or by confining it to silver coin of
a new denomination ?

Whether the existence of such a silver currency
would have the effect of forcing gold out of circula-
tion, either occasionally or permanently ?
In what manner does the Bank of England think
that the existence of such a silver currency would
operate on their transactions ?

-
Would it afford them security against combina-
tions which might be made to their prejudice ?
Would it afford them means of more readily recti-
fying the foreign exchanges ?
Would it enable them to provide with less diffi-
culty for periods of panic or distress; and would it
in any degree facilitate their procuring, when neces-
sary, supplies of gold from abroad ?
2. Whether the Bank of England has any ob-
jection to making advances on deposits of silver at a
very low rate of interest, in the same manner as
is now done by the Bank of France on deposits of
gold ?
Whether such a measure would in their view be
advantageous, as affording convenience or security
to the Bank or to the public ?
Whether their opinion of such an arrangement
would be altered, if on such deposits of silver,
notes or receipts were to be issued by the Bank, not
payable in gold, but payable in portions of the silver
deposited ?

3. Whether the Baak consider any and what ad-
vantages likely to result from reverting to the systc:u
formerly established by law,—that of making silver
by weight a legal tender to any amount, the value
of such silver being either fixed in relation to gold,
or such value depending on the market price, as
published in the Gazette in the week or month pre-
ceding the tender?
In replying to the three preceding queries, the
Bank will bear in mind that the object is to retain
gold as the bulk of the currency, and to have silver
as an aid to it.

4. Whether there be in the country, at the pre-
sent moment, a sufficiency of coin for the purposes
of the ordinary transactions which, in a country.
where paper forms so large a pertion of the circula-
tion, coin
.is necessarily applicable, and to provide
for the deficiency which may be occasioned by the
withdrawal from circulation of the small notes of the
country bankers ?
