Sir R. PEEL was certainly mote candid in admit-
ting the failure of the Act of 1844 than the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, whose faith in: its excellence ap-
pears to be wholly unshaken, arid. who asserts that
it is to its operation we owe the preservation of the
national credit.,The ex-Premier does not deny " that
one of the objects contemplated by the Act was the
prevention of the convulsions than had heretofore
occurred in consequence of the negiect of the Bank of
England to take early precautions• against the issue
of its treasure," and he acknowledle s that he is bound
to say, " that in that object with respect to the Bill
he has been disappointed." He says, "I am bound
to admit that the object of the Bill was to im-
press a legal and moral obligation upon the
Bank to prevent the neoesr ity of stringent
measures by taking timely pretautions, and that
therefore that object was not c =clad out, otherwise
the pressure would not have been so great." He
therefore cannot say " that the m nisure was crclusively
in fault." Was it not, howev. au, loudly proclaimed
that it would prevent the possibi tit y of those errors of
Judgment on the part of the directors, to which
former evils were ascribed, in plat a of imputing them
to their real source, the fountain a nd origin of all our
difficulties—the Act of 1819?

Accounts from Switzerland stet 3 that the Diet had

any attempt on which would be c Dusidered by Prussia
as a au= belli.

" TOWN AND COUNTRY."
Henry Colburn, publisher, 13. Great Marlborough-street. f quently in circulation at Kurrachee, this conflict
agt.inst the Booghtees hns proved +he end of all the
anxieties hitherto experienced in that direction. Peace
in Sinde, as well as elsewhere, is preparing the way
for the new Governor-General. This must be to
Lord DALHOUSIE a source of no inconsiderable gra-
tification, though it must be remembered by the
Noble Earl that the more general the quietude of
Hindostan, on his reaching his official residence at
Calcutta, the greater will be his individual responsi-
bilities for its maintenance.

The debate in the House of Commons on the ap-
pointment of the Committee moved for by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, has been brought to a
conclusion. The House having negatived by a large
majority the demand for an adjournment, and the
amendment having been withdrawn, the original
motion has heen carried without a division. The
great authorities appeared to have reserved their
strength for last night, two ex-Chancellors of the
Exchequer (Mr. F. T. BAKING and Mr. HERRIES),
and the present and the late Premier, participated in
the discussion, the last word having been ac-
corded to Sir ROBERT PEEL, the legislative author
of the Bill of 1844, although it is well known that
Mr. JONES Loin is entitled to credit or discredit as
its real parent. The extensive inquiries to which we
have already alluded are accordingly to be proceeded
with, and the investigation will probably be con-
tinued, not only for the remainder of the present
session, but during the entire existence of the present
Parliament. The manufacturing, commercial, and
trading interests must still remain in that state of
doubt and incertitude that is so deeply injurious,
and every mercantile speculation, that in a sounder
state of affairs would be perfectly legitimate, must
degenerate into mere gambling, from which large
profits may be derived or inevitable ruin entailed on
the party entering into it. But all this must be
encountered that the House may not be subjected to
the reproach of having legislated with undue preci-
pitation. The Act whose' temporary suspension
involved its utter condemnation—the Act that occa-
sioned such wide-spread ruin: and universal dis-
tress, is still to be continued, without the
slightest modification, pending the investigation.
The numerous advantages which (despite the
condition of an exorbitant rate of interest with
which it was coupled) attended its relaxation,
advantages which are acknowledged on every side,
are apparently forgotten, and a power is not even to
be conceded to the Government again to interfere in
the event of a recurrence of the panic.
We should have thought with Sir R. PEEL, that
inquiry on the subject of currency and Bank issue
had been exhausted. We find, according to the
statement of the Right Hon. Baronet, that five
Committees had been appointed in 1836, 1837, 1838,
1840, and 1841, that the closest investigation had
taken place, and upwards of 14,000 questions had
been asked of persons supposed to be must competent,
and upwards of 14,000 answers returned
and that there was no practical result, and
yet we are again to have every description of
legislation delayed until a new Committee shall
come to a decision, not only on the much-contro-
verted questions submitted to their predecessors, but
also on the many other topics which legitimately fall
within the scope of their inquiries. The Protec-
tionists insist that free trade has been one of the chief
causes of the national calamity. IT there are any
Protectionist Members on the Committee, of course
there must be an investigation into► that important
subject, which we had hoped had been finally settled
by the wisdom of the Legislaturf?. Another class
of politicians assign the expenditure which has
taken place in the creation of railways, as the mon-
ster grievance that has crippled the resources of the
country, and led to the fearful depreciation of pro-
perty we hare so recently witnessed, and which,
unfortunately, still exists. We believe both opinions
to be equally unfounded, but still much time must
necessarily be consumed in the inquiry. The
general question of taxation must also be taken into
the consideration of the Committee. The taxes that
unduly press upon industry, imp xle production, and
are injurious to our commer, dal relations with
other lands have had no trifling share in
occasioning the mischief. It; has been an-
nounced that it is not the intention of Govern-
ment to institute any inquiry into the nature
of these taxes, or as to the propriety of altering,
reducing, or abolishing any of them ; and, conse-
quently, so important a. topic 'cannot possibly be
excluded. Many other question:f will also be sug,
gested on which it is needless to expatiate, as sufficient
has been adduced to show the into rminable nature of
the proceedings that must inevitably take place, and
the absurdity of waiting for the ',sport of that Com-
mittee before any measure is to be submitted to the
House.
