THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1840.

to go down to the pantry, I let the seal fall, and
put my foot upon it, and afterwards put it behind
the water-pipe in the scullery." All this watching,
it appears, was a mere mockery. And why did
they watch him? Because they had good reason
to suspect him ; yet, notwithstanding that, it never
entered into their precious heads to search his per-
son. But it is needless to give more details. One-
half of this confession consists of proofs undeniable
that no investigation ever undertaken could have
been carried on in a more stupid, bungling, and
careless manner. With such agents to discover
murder, life would be as safc in the wilds of Africa
as in this civilized country.

The Morning Post announces the " suspension
of two more Joint Stock Banks," and on their
failure, grounds a panegyric of the greatest of all
d
Joint Stock Banks, which stoppe payment for
years, and which has been totally unable at any
period within the last few years to pay its notes on
demand ; which has been upheld by the Government
rather than by the gold in its coffers ; which has
borrowed 18,000,000/. sterling of the public,
promising to pay it on demand, and has not had
the fourth part of that sum in its coffers to pay
with, had any demand been made on it, and which
consequently owes its existence to the forbearance
of its creditors, not to its own good management.
Whatever recommendation the Committee of the
House of Commons, which is sitting to inquire into
banking, may give, it will not do justice to
the public if it do not present the Bank of Eng-
land monopoly as a nuisance which ought to be
abated.

On this subject an excellent and a well-timed
pamphlet, entitled " A Defence of Joint Stock
Banks and Country Issues," has recently been
published by the author of "M oney, and its Vicis-
situdes in Value," a gentleman well known amongst
political economists as a sound and vigorous
thinker. We shall content ourselves now with
quoting from Mr. BAILEY'S pamphlet the con-
cluding: observations, which—corresponding with
those of all scientific inquirers before the science of
political economy was debauched by an unhallo xed
connection with money-jobbers—may be said to ex-
press deductions from the most enlarged experience.
" The effect of taking away the power of issuing pros
missory notes frcm the Country Bank!, would be to de-
prive the districts in which they are situated, not only of a
species of currency to which they are attached, but of the
command of capital to nearly the amount of their present
circulation. By the use of local notes these districts are
now in the enjoyment of at least nine millions sterling,
which would then be vvithdraww from them : they are
just as fully in the enjoyment of this capital as if, wickr
a metallic currency, the amount were lent in specie to the
Country Banks without security and without interest.
Withdraw it, and one of the immediate consequences of
the measure would be a check to industry, a loss of confi-
dence, and a fall of prices highly detrimental to the com-
munity.
" It must be some very great and indisputably prepon-
derant benefit, indeed, which could justify any attempt to
deprive the provinees of such an advantage and to inflict
upon them such evils. No preponderant benefit of this
nature is presented by any suggestion which has yet been
made. The consignment of the whole circulation of the
country to the Bank of England, or any other body asso-
ciated together for lucrative objects, would not for a mo-
ment bo listened to by the nation. To a National Bank
of issue, if intended to engross the whole circulation,
there would be the same main objections, although unac-
companied by some of-the grounds of resistance to con-
ferrina a similar monopoly upon the Bank of England.
" The desire of some such change seems to proeeed
from a hypothetical notion that there is a necessity for sub.
jecting the amount or quantity of the currency to regula-
tion—a notion engendered probably by long habit and im-
perfect institutions. The more the subject is considered,
the more clearly I am inclined to believe it will be dis-
covered, that any system which involves the necessity of
any arbitrary, speculative, or deliberate adjustment of the
sum total of a credit note currency to the supposed com-
mercial condition of the country is essentially wrong ; on
the same grounds that it would be a mischievous arrange-
ment!which imposed on any Government or assigned to
any Board of Commissioners the task of regulating the
quantity of a currency which wholly consisted of the pre-
cious metals.

" No principle can be depended upon for the nice ad-
justment of the currency to the wants of the people, but
that play of interests in which we unhesitatingly confide
for the adequate supply of all the other necessaries, com-
forts, and conveniencies of life."

There is no news of the slightest political interest in
the Paris Journals of Wednesday. The Constitutionnel
has a Iptter from Mostaganem, which states that a for-
midable rival to ABD..EL-KADER. has appeared in the
person of a Marabout, noted for his great sanctity, and
who has taken under his protection the tribes oppressed
by the EMIR. The writer infers that a division of the
Arab strength will bethe consequence, which must faci-
litate the triumph of the French.
The two Spanish QUEENS arrived safely at Saragossa
on the 18th. Her Majesty the REGENT had signified
her determination to visit the Basque Provinces before
her return to the capital, and to be present at the anni-
versary of the celebration of the Treaty of Bergara, on
the 31st of August. Her MAJESTY will visit San Se-
bastian, Vittorio, Bilboa, and all the other principal
cities and towns north of the Ebro.

The Castellano, a Madrid paper, publishes the fol-
lowing confirmation of the account received by tele-
graph of the attempt of the Carlists to seize the two
QUEENS and their retinue :
SIOWENZA, JUNE 15.—0 n the:approach 0(3,000 infantry
and 700 cavalry, our city was a prey to the greatest anxiety,
but we hoped that as the Queen was to sleep at Medina-
celi, a column would be detached to pursue Palacios and
Marconcel. Attacked by our troops, the rebels were dis-
persed. The infantry was put to the route completely;
1,317 prisoners have entered our town. The enemy left
a great number of dead near Mogares and Alpuenza.
The„Carlist cavalry abandoned the infantry, and retreated
to join Balmaseda.
CABRERA was at Berga, which he was deluging with
blood. Among the latest victims were the Commander
CASFAG NOLA, Captain CORRETJA, the Physician-Gc-
neral SAQUES, and Rose D'EnoLE's brother-in-law,
RIBOT, Adjutant of the Staff.
A letter from Toulon of the 19th says : " The extraor-
dinary bustle which is observed in our roads and in the
port is occasioned by, the v :ry pressing order for the dc.
parture of the vessels which are to proceed to the Buenos
Ayres. These vessels, the two steamers, the Styx,land the
Tonnere, which are arming as ships of war; and the
transports Agathe and Tarn. These two transports will
take on board a part of the 3,000 men riluired by Admi-
ral 13audin.

The Prince de Joinville leaves Paris on the 24th, to
proceed to Toulon. His Royal Highness is accompanied
by General Gourgand. MM. Emmanuel, Las Casas,
and Marchand, also leave Paris on the 2Q;'n. By a re-
markable coincidence, it was in the night of the 24th of

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
HAMPTON RACES.---THURSDAY.
The second day here, as at:Epsom, is always considered the
most attractive, and, although the promise of sport did not
merit any particular distinction, as there were but two races an-
nounced, yet the anticipation of a large assemblage was fully
realised, and the company was not only numerous, but highly
respectable. The weather was not so favourable as on Wednes-
day—a few flying showers creating no small alarm, although no
serious mischief. The roads down presented the usual diver-
sity of travellers ; but the display of aristocratic carriages, in-
cluding a goodly turn-out of the " four-in-hand" professors,
was equal to any former meeting. The line of vehicles on each
side of the course was treble deep, and extended from end to end.
Among others whom we noticed in the throng were—Lords
Chesterfield, Stradbroke, Macdonald, Shelburne, Southamp-
ton, and Waldeo°Tave ; Sirs G. Heathcote and W. W. Wynn ;
Hon. Colonel Anson, Hon. W. Bagot, Hon. Captain Rous,
Colonel Isdney, Colonel Peel ; Messrs. Greville, Payne, Dol-
phin, Stanhope, King, Caldecott, &c.

re-opened, f,:r which several horses were expected to enter.
In our report of Wednesday's races, the figures for the fourth
heat of the Strawberry Hill Stakes were accidentally omitted ;
it nas won by Tenebrosa, Dromedary second, and the Camel
colt third.
The match between Mr. King's Appleton Lass (Sly) and
Mr. Jones's Pcterel, was won cleverly by the former.

THE IRISH ARKS
through the House to re-enact the Irish Arms Act,
which requires every person to register their arms,
have been appropriately described as an advertisement
to those who want arms, where they can get them. In
the following case the banditti have evidently possessed
the requisite information :—Between the hours of six
aad seven o'clock on Sunday morning, four armed fel-
lows, perfectly undisguised, approached the house of
Montiford Westropp, of Mellon, Esq. Two of them
remained outside, while the other two entered. One
of the latter immediately desired a female servant to
show him her master's room, with which request she,
of course, complied. Mr. West ropp
was, at thc
in bed. The fellow approached the bed-side, and after
ordering him to part with his steward within a week,
decamped with two loaded pistols which were lying on
time,
