toTuti‘ returns from the Bank of England and the
stock ea Sea House relative to the amounts of new
tl~e„ accepted yesterday, show an increase over
lew previous day. Still the sum taken is far be-

lihat might have been expected, and the state-
tat" niade under this head two or three days since,
eaPitalists and bankers were averse to the pro-
file' and were resolved not to lead the van in enticing

to reflect that another year or two may enable
terms Chancellor to offer much less favourable
atti7s, and to deal compulsory with a given
twe °list of the debt. Probably if ten or

fe4"tet People of this country once having their at-
favolen aroused to the subject, will not suffer such
114,,Qerahle opportunities, as former Governments
red„ fleglected, to pass by without an agitation for
the the national burdens. What most puzzles
to'll2linitiated is the little favour hitherto shown
ctoou,e Exchequer Bonds ; but if we take into
kate'"",eration the fact that they will interfere

at o- deal largely in bills of exchange, we shall
nee have a solution of the tardiness in sub-
