DEATH OF MR. WILLAIAN.—We regret to
state that this eminent performer on the clarinet breathed
his last on Saturday evening at his residenef! in-Leicester—
place, after a protracted illness and great suffe.ring •
Several complaints, we understand, hat* been
by many respectable shipowners, and othst.7. at
South Shields, of the want of attention at the post-ohlce
of that town. Letters and papers, both evening en."l
morning, arc kept far beyond a reasonable time for deli--
vet.) ; and we are informed that if the evils complained off
are not speedily removed, the highest authorities will be•
appealed to by the tow n.—Tyne Pilot.
The Earl and Countess of Wilton arrived in
Grosverv,r- square, on Saturday last, from a visit to sloe
Duke of Wellington, at Stratbfieldsaye. The Earl aibd
Countess take their departure in the course of the week..
for Egerton Lodge, Melton Mowbray, for the bunting
season. _ _

The Marquis of Northampton came up to town
from Cat;lle Ashby on Saturday last, to attend the annivee.
sary meeting of the Royal Society this day.
The Dowager Countess of Sandwich has left
town for Brighton.
1) Es TRUCTIVE Fine. Yesterday morning
about four o'clock, at which time the metropolis was en-
veloped in one of the most dense fogs known for many
years, a fire of a very destructive and alarming description
broke out on the premises, No. 16, Rotherhithe-wall,
Rntherhithe, in the occupation of Mr. Beasley, baker, and
ended in the destruction, not only of Mr. B.'s premises,
but those adjoining, inflicting also damage on many others
to a serious extent. At seven o'clock it was subdued, and,
shortly after completely put out. The premises of Mr.'
Beasley and Mr. Cross are totally burned down, but they
arc insured in the Imperial and Phoenix, The Dover
Castle, the houses of Mr. Adams, cheesemonger, Mr.
Field, surgeon, and Mr. Giles, baker, are also much in-
jured. They are insured. The cause of the fire is not
known. The destruction of property is to a large amount.

do not require such an addition to the national burthcns
as would be entailed by such a promotion.
The Queen Dowager arrived in town on Satur-

HERALD—In noticing certain assertions made some
days since that the Bank had taken stock out of the
market to the extent of 400,000/., the fact was denied in
reference to the amount. At the date alluded to the
whole amount so taken was no more than 280.0001. It is
only proper to observe, however, that yesterday the Bank
broker completed the operation by taking in the balance
of 120,000/. required to make up the difference. As a
considerable portion of this stock was, there appears now
no doubt, purchased beforehand for time, a question has
very naturally arisen as to the propriety of a course so
inconsistent with sound principles of Bank menagement,
and which partakes essentially of the ctiaracter of
stoeltjt,bbing, for as such, time-bargains arc to be
con,idcred. It is quite clear that if the system
-be acted upon in the way of ordinary and every
day practice, all the dealers in stocks and tile pub-
lic at large will be at the mercy of Bank operations,
of the nature and extent of which they must necessarily be
unaware ; for with the overwhelming power and means at
the command of, or so easily to be created hy, such an in-
' stitution, for acting-upon prices in the sense either of rise
or fall, it is evident that a monstrous monopoly would be
established, every attempt at competition or opposition in
the market with which must infallibly end in ruin to those
concerned. Tiiere may be extraordinary circa nstancea
adduced to palliate the gla ing impropriety of such a devi-
ation from the ordinary and more prudent rules, and the
causes which on this occasion may be urged in justifica'ion
a-e not perhaps without their weight. With a view to
the curtailment of liabilities, so as more strirtgentb to
enforce that restrictive acti .n on circulation which, for a
considerable ti.re past, been found to be indispens-
able for safety, it is known that at rarinua periods
curing the last twelve months the B tnk Directors have
made sale of considerrble amounts cf those s. meities
th y are in the habit of holding for prudential meth 03,
as well as with an eye to !are profits. ‘Vhca the danger
arising from adverse exchanges and the consequent
export of bullion has passed or is conceived to be passing
away, the pol cy usually has been to repurchase gradually
to be same amount as the securities before sold, and so,
as it were, replace the Bark in stock. But heretofore
these purchases and sales have always, or nearly so, been
for money down, or, as sometimes has occurred, for the
next day, which is equivalent. The continued improve-
ment of the Foreign Exchanges for some time past,
aLhough not to the extent hoped or calculated upon,
seems to have augges!ed to the Directors the expediency
of taking time by the forelock, as it may he celled, and, in
the conti'.lent expectation that within a given period the
Exchanges would be righted and bullion again flow in-
wards to commence their repurchases of stock, with
the d ffarenee in the operation of making them for
lime instead of money, to as to avoid the n•cessity fur
ir.cre sing the circulation by payments in Bank paper
at the moment when it was apparently as indispensable
as before to keep it down. The calculation in the
meantime was, probably, that the limitation of dis-
counts by the application of the rate for restraining
them to two months hills, combined with the im-
provement ia the Exchange s would, when the time
bargains for stock arrived at maturity, at the close if the
account, render the issue of bank paper in payment less in-
expedient and unsafe, in proportion as the circulatione
through the means stated, should be reduced or maintained
under a certain standard. Whether the policy of these
time bargains may stand excused on view of the censidera-
tions now exposed may be doubted. The Bank has as-
suredly reaped a beneficial interest out of these transac-
tions by all the difLrence in the prices of stock at which
the time purchases were successively made, beginning, say
fur Consols, at about 87, and which rose by the account
day to about 90 ; but it would be too much to say that the
conduct of the Directors was influenced by any narrow and
temporary views of jobbing profits by way of securing er
bettering the dividend for the proprietors. The preceding
explanations may perhaps bo sufficiently intelligible for
the writer of the letter which follows :

(From the Morning Chronicle.)
" I do not accuse England," said M. Thicrs on Wednes-
day last, " fur in England we hieve met with sympathies
Yet, although Lord Palm:Frston was blamed for having
compromised the French alliance, from a patriotic feeling
they rallied re and him— they blamed him, but still sup-
ported him. Not only in the English nation, but in the
C tainet, there was a man (I may preise him, because he
is dead) who vas not afraid to support our cause, and
maintained that we were in the right, the Honour-
, able Lord Holland. I ACCIlie only one man, and I
say that he seas wanting to France." We will rescue
L"rd Holland's time from the stain which the praise of
M. Thicrs would cast upon it. Lord Holland's fault,
and the fuelt of that part of the Engli,h na-
tion which M. Thiers : siocietcs with him was
the entertaining too favourable an opinion of the
honesty cf the Gosernrncnt of M. Thiers. Lord
H atland had no suspicion thet that Government
had views on Egypt and Syria, and wished to make
them &Tendencies of France. On Wednesday and
Thursday there vie as were advocated by Al Thicrs with-
out disguise or concealment. We alluded on Saturday
to whet fell from M. Thiers on this point on Wednesday.
Oa Thursday his language was still more precise. More-
over, on Wednesday he gave a very significant hint that I
Fie nch policy had also in view the exteneion of France to
the Rhine (though if she could ex:end her frontier to the
Rhine, she might go beyond the Rhine). " Yuu have
experienced," he sad, " whet I shall here call a material
loss, the loss of your influence in the Mediterranean. But
worse than that, A material loss can be repaired. if
you had wished, we might have got r.d of the Treaties of
1813 Lexclamatioes in the Right Centre—long and noisy
interruptions—telhesion on several benches of the Left]."
France wished to gain time; Lord Palmerston
saw this, and saw, moreover, what Lord Holland
was unable to see, that the olject ef M. Thicrs
throughout was to carry into effect the plans of Leib-
nitz and Bonaparte in the E,st, so much cube
else,' by him. There were English Noblemen and
gentlemen of high character in the community who nu
more than Lord Holland saw what France was aiming at.
But we are sure that, now that the views of France are
openly revealed, if Lord Hollaud were alive he would with
the honesty which was natural to him, have readily cou-
fessed his error. No statesman of any party in this
country would, with his eyes open, have aided M. Thiers
in converting Egypt and Syria into a dependency ot
France, in order to make France preponderate in the Me-
dicer ranean, and enable her to further the other schemes on
the Rhine indicated by M. Thiers. But, though we do
not blame any one far not possessing all the foresight and
decision of Lord Palmerston, we do not hesitate to ray
that, on reflection, those who lead public opinion in this
country will, ere long, do justice to his Lordship's merits
at this important crisis.
The Court of Queen's Bench, on Saturday last, pro-
nounced judgment in the me af "'The Queen v. Baines;"
and, as it is a matter of greet interest and importance, we
the more readily venture upon a few remarks. With all
respect to tie Learned Judges whose judgment it is, we
must be permitted to say that a more meagre or unsatis-
factory decision has seldom been delivered. It was, we
believe, received with surprise by all those members ot the
profession who heard the argument ; and we trust, that if
there -be any mode of obtaining a reconsideration of the
case, the necessary steps will be immediately taken.
Whether we look at the judgment with reference to its
results, or regard it as an answer to the objections which
were made on the part of Mr. Baines, or consider it as
a specimen of judicial accuracy and precision in a
matter affecting the liberty of one of our fellow-citisens,
we are lost in amazement. It appeared that the Eccle-
siastical Court, instead of proceeding against the de-
fendant to compel his appearance to the original cita-
tion, had gone on with the cause, tried it, decided it in
his absence, and decreed him to pay the rate, together with
a sum of 125/. costs. The motives for this course of pro-
ceeding are obvious, they are oppression and extortion :
oppression, inasmuch as the punishment of the conscien-
tious recusant is increased by the amount of the costs ; ex-
tortion, inasmuch as additional fees are paid to the officers
of the " Christian Court." Had the Ecclesiastical Court
proceeded, under the 53d Geo. 111., c. 127, to certify Mr.
Baines in contempt for not appearing to thc citation, the
costs would probably have amounted to 101. That course
however, did not suit the " Court Christian," for it is much
more easy to try a cause in the absence of the party
charged than in his presence. Moreover, the lean and
hungry officers hate need to " put money in their purse ;"
therefore, 1251. in the shape of costs is preferable to the
lesser sum of 101. One of the principal questions laised
by Mr. Baines was, the right of the " Court
Christian," so to proceed, he not having appeared. It
is important to keep in mind that he is not
now charged with a contempt for not appearing to
answer the original citation, but for non-payment of the
1251. costs so decreed against him ex parte. Neither the
courts of common law nor the courts of equity pretend to
have any power to proceed to try a cause without the ap-
pearance of the party charged, and it has been found ne-
cessary, by. express enactment of the Legislature, to give
to those courts the means of causing an appearance for a
defendant to be entered, so as to enable them to proceed
with the caase. That which the Courts of Common Law
and Chancery could not do, the Ecclesiastical Court as-
sumes to do. Is there, then, any statute which enables
that Court to proceed to judgment, the defendant not
having appeared ? It was not even pretended by
the counsel who supported - the Sheriff's return that
there is. Do the books of practice and text writers
sanction such a course ? No authority was cited to
that effect in the argument, or is referred to in the
judgment. The contrary was, however, expressly proved
by reference to authorities of the greatest weight, in-
cluding °tighten, Conselt, Cockburn, and Law, and
though last, not least in importance, to the report of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners made during the last reign,
and the Commissioners, consisting of the chiefs of all the
Courts, as well of the Common Law and Chancery as
of the Ecclesiastical Courts. From those authorities it
manifestly appeared that both by the ancient and modern
practice, when a defendant was cited to do an act, the
only course on his non-appearance, before the 53d George
HI., was immediately to proceed to excommunication ;
and, since that statute, to certify to the Queen his contu-
macy in not appearing, and that it is only in causes where
the defendant is not required to do any act, that the Court
can proceed "in penam coutumacix." Such being the
state of the case, we should have imagined that the
Court of Queen's Bench, in affirming a course of pro-
ceeding prima facie so repugnant to all the prin-
ciples and analogies of the common law, would have
pointed out some statute, decided case, book of
practice, or text writer, which gave some countenance to
it; or, at all events, they would have defined, or at least
hinted at " the circumstances" upon which " it depends
whether a party may be so proceeded against." The
Learned Judges of the Queen's Bench have not done so.
After taking many days to consider their judgment, they
have contented themselves (and we say it with unfeigned
regret) with delivering a judgment indefinite and loose
beyond anything we ever read, and which thus disposes of
the principal question :--
" The second objection was upon the contempt—that
the party being committed for contempt, and condemned
in a Church-rate, he was required to pay the costs. That
objection was very strongly urged to the proceeding, as
‘^inv, one that was against English justice and the

justly by the Court proceeding in his absence to do what

they are bound to do, by deciding whether ha is bound to ,

pay that for which he is sued. Upon that point, we think, ,
without entering particularly into the authorities quoted,
that there are none such, at least upon general principles, ,
to prevent the Court proceeding in absence, where the t
absence is the consequence of the voluntary conduct of the ,
defendant himself."—What is to be understood ? Is a ci-
tation to pay a Church-rate a citation to do an act, or is it
not? Do the Learned Judges mean to declare that the ,
authorities which were quoted in support of the objection
do not apply, or do they overrule them in the absence of all
authority the other way ? Surely, " without entering
particularly into the authorities," they might have said ,
either that they were in point, or that they were not ; that
they considered them of some weight or of none. The
Judge in the Ecclesiastical Court on this occasion is Sir
Herbert Jenner ; in Thorogood's case it was Dr. Lush-
ington. In the latter case the course taken was the one
insisted upon in the argument on the part of Mr. Baines as
to the right course, and we understand that Dr. Lushing-
ton, in his place in Parliament, on the discussion of Tho.
rogood's case, emphatically declared that mode of proceed-
ing to be the only legal mode.

" lived unknown

And cisased them up to Heaven."
And so, such persons are content to appeal to instances of
political martyrdom—the readiest example at hand being
that of the celebrated John ll.impden, and his resistance to
the impost called ship money. None but the most igno-
rant can be imposed upon by any supposed similarity be-
tween the opposition of John Hampden to the payment of
ship-money, and that of John Thorogood, or Joseph or
Benjamin Baines. to the payment of Church-rates. The
first striking d:Erence between the two cases is
that a Church rate is a legal impost, and ship-money
Was not. That is a pretty broad difference to begin ,
with. It was because ship-money was an illegal im-
post that John' Hampden refused t 3 pay it. Had
it been legal, but in his opinion such an impost as ought
not to contit.u• to be levied, he would not have resisted
the payment, for he had no wish to resist the law, but he
wou'd have endeavoured by constitutional means to have
the law altered. Neither did John Hampden make his
resistance to the payment of ship-money a source of pe-
cuniary profit to ijimself. On the contrary, he expended
a large portion of his own fortune in legally combatting
' that illegal, impost. Ile had to contend against despotic
perogatvc, in courts chiefly filled by servile judges, all of
n hom were alholutcly dependent on the Crown. He
strugled for a great principle upon a matter of twenty
shil,ines—a principle invoteing die whole ques.'ion of
representative government, for if the Sovereign could levy
ship money without consent of Parliament, so might he
levy any other tax, and-to any extent, so a, to render the
Crown wholly independent of Parliament for its sup-
plies. It was for this great principle that John Ilitnio;
den, a virtuous patriot, and not a sordid demagogue,
contended Who contests the legality of Ceurch-rates ? No-
body. Their legdity is too well establiAled to be seriously
contested. John Thorogood set his " conscience" against
the law—so did Mr. B.ines. The latter, however, con-
descended to set up some very small technical objections
to the order of the Ecclesiastical Court, as our readers
saw from our report of the argument. It was rather a
trivial issue for either a " martyr" or " patriot" to take
who talked loudly of fighting the battle of " conscience"
and " principle." The question of Church-rates is not a
question like that of ship-money between the Crown and
the subject. Even if it were, the Judges of the Queen's
Bench at the present day, with Lord Denham at their
head, could not be suspected, like the dependent and
servile Judges of a former day, of perverting the low in
favour of prerogative. But the Crown, as at uresent
advised and administered, is rather against Church-rates
than fur them. The chief law officer of the Crown
eas leading counsel for the defendant in two eases of the
Queen v. Baines. The decision of the Queen's Bench
against the defendant, as well as against former de-
fendants in pari delicto, is not like the decision against
John Hampden, a proof of the corrupt subserviency of
justice to the dictates of despotic prerogative. Resist-
ance to the payment of Church_rate when regularly im-
posed, is not only legally unjust, but morally dis-
honest. Church-rate has existed as a tax upon the
property subject to it from time immemorial. Every
roan who occupies property liable to Church-rate has
taken it with that burden, and to resist its payment is the
same thing in principle as for a person to resist the pay-
ment of the assessed taxes to the Crown. But, asks
'• Why should I pay a single shit.
lingof a Church in whose doctrines
the politicalforthe Dissenter,suopor t
Ido not believe?" This is just the argument of the Re-
publican who refused to pay taxes to the Crown because
be did not adhere to monarchical doctrine, nor respect
monarchical institutions. The Attorney-General would
teach such a Republican that such a reason for not paying,
Crown taxes was no reason at all. The Christian re-
ligion tells the political Dissenter to "give urro Caesar
that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's;"
and the Divine Founder of' that religion taught his dis-
ciples to pay the tribute-money due by law to the Pagan
Emperor of Rome. It is worth observing that these polit,-
cal Dissenters who assist the infidels in agitating against
Church-rates never discovered that an impost assessed by
the majority of the parishioners of a parish was opposed
to conscience and principle, until the repeal of the
Test and Corporation Acts, previouily to which repeal
the whole body of Dissenters bad been in the habit of pro-
fessing the utmost reverence for the Church Establish.
ment, and disclaiming all desire or intention of injuring it
in its legal rights. Similar professions were made by the
, Irish Roman Catholics previously to the passing of the Po-
pish Relief Bill, and just as faithfully observed. But
the unnatural combination of the political Dissenters and
the Romanist; for the destruction of the Church, which is
the eldest daughter of the Reformation, has had the very
1
opposite effect to that intended. It has strengthened the
Church it was meant to subvert. It has called forth such
demonstrations of public feeling in its favour as proves
nthe
that it is not merely the Church as by law established, but
the Church of the faith and affections of the vast majority
of the English people.

SF IRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
,From the illorning Post.)
Bank notes, we have said, cannot be made subject to the
laws which govern a metallic circulation. This we have
now to prove. And to place this subject in a strong light,
and to obtain for it such a close and impartial consideration
as it appears to deserve, we put it in the form of a direct
appeal:-1. For all payments under five pounds arc not
bank-notes more convenient than gold and silver coins?
2. If more convenient, will they not, on that account, pro-
vided they are in good credit, be generally preferred? 3.
If generally preferred, will they not, in that proportion, be
capable of being substituted in excess of the coins which
they displace, without either supposing comparative depre-
ciation or being likely to be returned in exchange for spe-
cie ? 4. If capable of being substituted in excess, will
they not be so ? May we not calculate on their being
so substituted as a certain consequence of the known
interest of those by whom they are made and
issued ? 5. If so substituted, will not the effect
be a proportional smelling of the currency and
export of specie, making way for a still further substitution,
which, in its turn, will effect a further of ? 6. If so,
can such a continuing efflux be made consistent with a
maintenance of convertibility or specie payments? 7. If
not, how can it be pretended that convertibility is itself a
sufficient guarantee against excessive issues, loss of specie,
and all the dire et cetera of evils ? That such evils exist,
and co-exist with convertibility, cannot be denied, nor can
they possibly be charged upon the gold and silver. The
conclusion is irresistible—they belong exclusively to the
paper; and does not this prove to demonstration, that
bank paper, though convertible, is not naturally subject to
the laws of a metallic circulation ? Aeain-1. There being
required, for the prevention of the evils of excessive issues,
of loss of specie, of revulsions, panics, and suspensions, some
further corrective besides convertibility, some more per-
fect guarantee, is it wise, is it not foolish, to leave it
to the will of those who have an interest in the promo-
tion of that excess? 2. And is it not greatly more fool-
ish to leave the cheek upon excess to the power of only
one of all the hundreds of issuers who have an interest
in its promotion. Is not the iniquity of such conduct
equal to its folly? Looking at the mighty interests in-
volved in the disorders of the currency, might it not well
be asked could Bedlam play a part more absolutely mad ?
3. The check thus left, is not the efflux left, in fact, to be
arrested by fear, and too frequently by the revulsion con-
sequent upon panic terror, and a violent collapse of cre•
dit ? 4. So far from there being anything in converti-
bility to prevent such consequences, is there not much to
aggravate them? After permitting a gradually increas-
ing plethora, as to confidence and speculation, does
it not give occasion, by way of remedy, to a fearful
hemorrhage, ending too frequently in terrible convulsion?
We have spoken in strong terms of the folly of
leaving the check upon excessive issues to the vo-
luntary action of the issuers. We should have done
so had the obligation been equally imposed. Passing
by the monstrous iniquity of the present imposition, hose
is the folly of it to be accounted for? Clearly thus:—it
resulted from a confident persuasion, for which the world
is mainly indebted to Adam Smith, that excessive issues of
bank-notes, convertible at pleasure, would be, if not impos-
sible, immediately corrected by a return of notes for gold.
To discredit this erroneous and most pernicious principle a
century of suffering has hardly been found sufficient.
How many yet ignorantly or perversely point to Scotland,
in proof that, with convertibility, nothing is necessary to
prevent excess but frequent exchanges by the banks? We
--re nassages plenty to prove that there are num-
- names do not pass for nothing, who

The CMAIHMAN—Such a motion cannot be put. F. is
wholly irregular. Gentlemen, you will be plemel to r•tirc.
Mr. MuLLiss insisted upon his motion being 1)1+, it
having been regularly seconded.

Sir G. FARRANT—SureIy you are not going to keq) the
jury in duresse
The CuntamAN—Gentlemen, be pleased to retire.
The jury then retired.
Mr. MuLt.iss moved that his motion be entered on the
minutes of the Court.

Mr. Woon—There has yet been no order of the Court
fur providing a bock for entering protests.
Mr. LESLIE wished to know whether the Jury had re-
tired to a room that would be public, or to a private room?
The CI4AIrMAN said the Jury were in the nature of a
Grand Jury, whose proceedings were secret.
Mr. Mullins, Mr. Leslie, and several other Commis-
sioners attempted to obtain admittance to the jury-room,
but were unsuccessful.

The foreman of one of the Jurors sent word that his
hand had been so injured that the surgeons wished to am-
putate it—the Juror wished to be excused.
Tic Court could not consent to excuse him in fear of
its invalidating the rates.
After waiting upvtards of an hour doing nothing, several
of the Commissioners expressed dissatisfaction. an•d wished
to adjourn the C ,urt, but it was not agree to, for the
Jury might want some advice. It was reported •.hen that
the Jury had got through five out of eighty cases.
After an absence of three hours, the Jury came into
Com t, and male their presentment by their foreman.
They had made some few alterations in the valuing of
land, tut they had acte•l according to their consciences.
The CHAIRMAN thanked them in the name of the Court,
and discharged them.
The usual notice of the Presentment was ordered to be
given in the public papers.—The Court then adjourned.

SALE OF Mit. JUSTICE BOL-

The Lotto MAYoa asked whether the witnesses in
the case were ready. It appeared to his Lordship to
be one of very great importance, and, probably, in
consequence of the necessity of documentary proof,

Mr. Goss said that the prisoners, who weae in his
service, had been with I,:m nine years, and actually had
been kept by him out of charity. He was not prepared
with the documentary e7ilence, and he required time to
get up the ease. His object was to have the prisoners
remanded. Jennings had, he said, filled up the docu•
meat in one of the cases, but the document was in tbe
possession of the (Allem of the London D ...cks. It was
a delivery order, and it had to go through the regular
process of business, and Quinlan assisted Jennings in
that and the other transactions.
Alter some farther inquiries,

TIIC LORD MAYOR discharged Tnornhill upon his
own recognizances, and remanded all the other prisoners
for several days.
'rho vessel in which the goods were shipped was
stated to have been detained by the Custom-house
authorities, duty not having been paid upon them.

inhabitant had formerly to remove his filth. The Court
were not aware of any
encroachment or anneyances com-
mitted upon the sewers under their charge, but if any such
came under their notice, it would be their duty to present
them to the Court. They would, however, be specially
called upon to inquire into, and make presentments, one
on the Ranelagh district, the other on the Counters
Creek district. They were to present what houses, lands,
and tenements would be benefited by the making, repair-

the same, and to present the rateable annual
value of each property, for which purposes they

The sdle by auction (at Evans') of the late Judge Hol-
land's very extensive library, has attracted considerable
attention among the literati, book collectors, &c. Yester-
day's sale, which was the sixth day's (the whole will occupy
13 days), was attended by many literary characters, Mem-
bers of Parliament, &c., and such an extraordinary interest
was evinced in the works brought to the hammer, for many of
the books are of the rarest character, ob aining two and
three times the price given for them, that the day's sale,
although commencing at half-past twelve o'clock, did not
terminate till near six o'clock.

ignorance cleaves to error ! These men, it would seem,
have yet to learn, that the main evils of excessive issues
—those affecting the exchanges—are not, generally, felt
in the locality where committed ; that they all fall almost
exclusively on London. As for those who have yet to
learn the obvious distinction between the depreciation of
bank notes as compared with coins, and depreciation of
the currency as compared with the currencies of other
countries, instead ef attempting to teach others, they had

The following are notices of two or three of the lots:
Lot 1,249—" Merry Jests concerning Popes, Monks,
and Friers,", with Llearne's Autograph, 1627.—A little
rubbishing looking volume, all to pieces, and not larger
than a lady's card ease; sold for 21. Ils. Thorpe.
Lot 1,254—" The Sixe-folde Politician, together with a
Size-fold Precept of Policy," 1609.—This work is attri-
buted by Stcevens and Warton to John Milton, the fsthcr
of the poet. The preface, &c., has the initials " J. M. ;"
but others doubt the fact, asserting, why does not appear,
that John Milton's father " could not" have written such
a work. But if it be that individual's production, then the
stringent remarks in the third chapter " of Poets," oc-
quire much additional interest, as has been remarked by Mr.
Collier, in his " Poetical Decameron."-9s. 6d. Potter.
