assailed, we conclude by repeating our hope that the I
improvement of the laws of the country—the interests
of trade—the promotion of talent, and a due regard for
the interests of the poor, will engage their attention in
preference to party scrambles for places, and party
disputes for the occupancy of office, which breaths of
anything but patriotism.
(From the Globe.)
It is a settled thing that we never shall hear the last
of Lord Cardigan. If his Lordship should ever be
raised a step in the Peerage by some Ministry more ca-
pable than a Whig one of discerning his merits in her
Majesty's service, he should certainly assume the title
of Marquis of Carabas ; as that is the only title that
ever was more in men's mouths than his own
Chapeau bas ! chapeau bas I
Gloire au Marquis de Carabas !
The addition of Baron Blackbottle would complete
the euphony of his new honours ; and eternise the lame
of exploits which have already pushed Guy Fawkes
from his stool, and superseded every staler incident in
the stock of pantomime. Attila was chronicled as the
Scourge of God ; and assuredly Lord Cardigan, though
by somewhat another construction, may be designed the
Scourge of the Horse Guards, no less than the 1 lth
Hussars. There is no existing in the service, either
above or below him. Earth cannot bear two suns ; nor
can the army well bear one Cardigan. He has the fame
of cashiering Commanders-in-Chief as surely as subal-
terns. Whatever comes in contact with him is a mere
black bottle to brass ! Illi robur et (vs triplex circa
pectus. _ _

" He doth bestride the narrow world,
Like a Colossus; and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs ; and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves."
There is however, a tide in the affairs of men ;
and there era some indications of the tide turning
against the unchallengeable and unpunishable Earl who
commands the 11th Hussars. The public are
aware that some delay has occurred in noticing
the resignation sent in by Captain J. W.
(black-bottle) Reynolds. We should like, merely for
curiosity, to know whether it is the fact that Captain
Reynolds has been sent for to the Horse Guards,
earnestly requested, and offered his own terms, to
withdraw his resignation ? It is the fact that, after all
his applications to Lord Cardigan for the shortest leave
of absence, to pursue professional studies, had been
refused, he now obtains, as the condition of withdraw-
ing his resignation, the longest leave of absence he
thinks proper to stipulate tor, with the understanding
that he is never again to be required to serve under Lord
Cardigan ? Perhaps the Post, who plays Puss in Boots
to the fame of the future Marquis of Carabas, can en-
lighten us as to these points, after due advice from head-
quarters.

(From the Standard )
The Globe on Wednesday promised some severe
animadversions upon our " credulity," " extrava-
gasce," " disreputably conduct," " folly, and
falsehood," in stating, upon the authority of our
Liverpool correspondent, that " Frost had been par-
doned, and appointed to a respectable clerkship in
the colony" of New South Wales—our Contemporary,
at the same time " gave the most absolute and
comprehensive contradiction to all and each of the
statements" of our Correspondent's communication,
which it was pleased to call " this fabricated
letter." The chastisement of the Standard,
and the proofs supporting " the most absolute and
comprehensive contradiction" were threatened for
Thursday (yesterday), but on looking very carefully
through last night's Globe we cannot find one word
in redemption of the promise. The plea of " pres-
sure of matter" too cannot be offered as to the omis-
sion—for the number was in this respect what is called
technically a " thin number," made up of four or five
leaded articles, the most of them relating to matters of
secondary interest, letters upon speculative subjects,
literary reviews, &c. It is possible, though not pro-
bable, that the Globe conceives its pledge to have
been redeemed by the commentaries upon its
threat given in yesterday's Morning Post ; but though
we who are compelled to a constant observation of the
conduct of newspapers, cannot doubt that the most
intimate understanding subsists between the Whig- R
dical Globe and the mock Conservative Morning Post,
still the friendship or rather identity of the two con-
cerns is not so well known to the public that the
service of the Morning Post can be taken in
satisfaction of the promise of the Globe. We,
therefore, conclude that the Globe last night
said nothing, because it had nothing to say, in
fulfilment of its rather violent and very rash promise
of the night before. The now ascertained fact, that
Frost has been appointed immediately upon his land-
ing to a respectable clerkship in the colony of New
South \Vales, settles the question of " an absolute
and comprehensive contradiction of all and each of
our correspondent's statements :" such a contradic-
tion must be clearly unfounded ; but we think that the
fact referred to settles the whole question, proves that
Frost has been both pardoned and rewarded, and, i;
Sir John Franklyn be not a downright idiot, pardoned
and rewarded in consequence of an arrangement made
at hone.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(THURSDAY EVENING.)
CHRONIC L E.—Tho advance which was experienced
yesterday in the English Funds has not bee:: fully maia -
taiiied to-day. Consols at the opening of the market
were quoted 89k, at which price they were buyers for a
short period, but subsequently gave way to 891 to ; at
the close of business prices were a shade higher, the last
quotation being 89i. Bank Stock continues to improve,
the price having advanced since the Ist instant from 1571
to 1621, being a rise of 5 per cent. India Stcck has
been still more favourably influenced by the news brought
by the overland mail.
We have received in a separate form a copy of the arti-
cle on the" Currency," from the pen of Mr. James William
Gilbart, which originally appeared in the last number of
the Westminster Review. It is an able exposition of the par-
ticular views espoused by that class of writers who deny that
the currency ought to be governed by the foreign ex-
changes, and may be looked upon, we believe, as contain-
ing the substance of the case of the Joint Stock Banks in
favour of free issues. The experience of the author,
as a practical banker, at the head of a leading joint-stock
estddissiment, and the undoubted talent with which he
maintains his views regarding the management of the cir.
culation, entitle his statement to considerable weight, and
its appearance at present, near to the re-assembling of
Parliament, and when the Committee on banks of issue
are about, in consequence, to resume their labours, give
it additional importance. Mr. Gilbart is strongly opposed
to one bank of issue, and is a stanch advocate for the
Scotch system, checked by the periodical exchange of
notes, and paying the differences in gold. Mr. Gilbart,
as usual with all writers of his school, assumes that a free
trade in banking entitles any number of persons to asso-
ciate themselves in trade as bankers, and then to make as
much paper money as they may think fit to issue, on,
what appears to them, profitable terms. We differ with
him o❑ the threshold. A free trade in banking is quite
distinct from the right to coin money, and the one may
exist totally independent of the other. The money
of the realm, whether composed entirely of gold and
silver, or partly of bullion and partly of paper con-
vertible into gold, should be exclusively made and
issued by delegation from the Crown to a board of
responsible officers. The right of dealing in that
money, which is the legitimate purpose of banking, should
be placed under a well devised system of legislation, on a
free basis, burdened only with such provisions as should be
required to maintain uniformity and safety to the public
interests

Mr. Gilbert depends a great deal too much on the effi-
cacy of the Scotch system of weekly exchanges. Mr.
Norman, in the course of his examination, on being asked
if he thought it afforded any security against over issues,
answered in the negative, and observed, " It will prevent
one bank unduly extending its issues as far as its notes
may happen to get into the possession of other banks ;
but there have, I believe, been instances in Scotland of a
bank establishing a large circulation when all the other
banks have refused to receive its notes at all, and
at any rate it is no check whatever on a general
disposition to over issue." This is quite true. Mr.
Gilbert says that the contraction of the currency is always
an evil. We demur to that. It is no evil to reduce an
over issue of paper to proper limits, nor to take measures
for preventing such over issue. He objects to the principle
of contracting the circulation when the bullion begins to
suffer from the effects of a drain, because, he says, " Upon
this plan there must be a perpetual increase and diminu-
tion in the stock of gold, consequently, a perpetual increase
and diminution in the amount of the currency. The in-
crease in the amount of the currency would raise prices
and stimulate speculation. The diminution in the amount
of the currency would reduce prices and produce distress.
And thus there must be a constant alternation from high
prices to low prices, and again from low prices to high
prices, from speculation to distress, and from distress to
speculation." This is well put, but it is highly
overcharged, and is in opposition to the opinion of
Mr. Jones Loyd, who stated to the Committee that the
" greatest steadiness would be produced by a system of
contracting issues, and expanding them, precisely in ac-
cordance with the gold ; because by that means, whenever
an efflux or influx of gold takes place, the contracting ac-
tion commences simultaneously, consequently the efflux and
influx will, upon that system, be restrained within its nar-
rowest bounds; and in proportion as you restrain the
efflux and influx of gold within narrow bounds, you secure
greater steadiness."

Mr. Gilbart disputes the application of the effects of the
system of banking in the United States as a case in point,
and observes that Mr. Webster is not in favour of one
bank of issue, although a supporter of a national bank.
Mr. Webster stated his opinions on the subject of the
currency in his famous speech on the 28th of Sep_
tember last, as follows :--" I hold that the regula-
tion of the currency, whether metallic or paper—
that a just and safe supervision over that which
virtually performs the office of money, and constitutes the
medium of Exchange whatever it may be—necessarily
pertains to Government; that it is one of the necessary and
indispensable prerogatives of Government." Ile very
forcibly adds, " In the absence of all Government control
and supervision, the wisdom and discretion regulating
the amount of money afloat at any time in the commu-
nity, is but the aggregate of the wisdom and discretion
of all the banks collectively considered; each individual
bank acting from the prompting of its own interest, with-
out concert with others, and not from any sense of pub-
lic duty. In my judgment, such a regulation, or such
a mode of regulating the curre.ney, and of deciding what
shall be the amount of money at any time existing in
the community, is unsafe and untrustworthy, and is one

.to which we never can look to guard us again.s:t those
excessive expansions and contractions which have been
the source of such injurious consequences," We en-
tirely agree with Mr. Webster in this conclusion,
which we have taken from the authentic report of his
speech by Mr. Stansbury. Mr. Gilbert says he has not
been able to discover a single advantage that has been
gained by the evidence taken before the Committee. We
cannot agree with that opinion. The publication of the
evidence has drawn public attention to the cause of the
frequent fluctuations in the currency. It has elicited the
opinions of the leading men, practical and theoretical,
on that important subject, and brought out their views
as to the best means for placing the circulation upon a
sound and steady basis. It has also produesd Mr. Gil-
hart's case in favour of the Joint-stock banks and com-
peting issues ; but the Committee have not completed
their task, and when they • e-assemble, Mr. Gilbart and
others will likely be heard. In the mean time, we
would not advise him to be too confident in supposing
that no Government would be so " d.structive to the
prosper ity of the nation," as he expresses it, as to suppo t
a measure to establish one balk of issue, or rather to ap.
pcifit a Board of Comrnissioners,eharged with the manage-
ment and issue of the money of the realm. Public opi-
nion runs stronger every day in favour of such a Board.

TIMES —Some large suits of Cow°ls for the ret,ru-
ary account, made in the course of the day by two infloen
tial brokers, caused a depression in p: ices, tut nut to any
material extent.

Alicant, according to letters received thence, dated De-
cember 18, has been thriving lately on account of the
Carlist bands being in possession of the high roads leading
from Valercia, Benicarlo, Tarragona, and Barcelona, to
Madrid and the interior, so that every article intended for
those places was bought to Alicant. The return of affairs
to a quieter state, far from affording any satisfaction to the
inhabitants of this place, has awakened in them feelinr,s of re-
gret. About 50,000 quintals of Newfoundland and Ater salt
are imported at Alicant in the course of the year, while
its principal exports are wines, at the following, prices
(on board), viz. :—red, two years old, 5/ ss. per pipe ;
one year old, 41. 153. ; and white, about 41. 103.
The whole annual export of wine is not above 41,600
pipes. Barilla of the first quality is valued at about
61. 15s. per ton, and of the second quality at about 51 Bs.
The whole quantity shipped during the last year is sup-
posed to be not more than 4,500 tons, while a substitute
found for it in Ireland seems to render it probable that
this quantity will diminish every year. The value of
raisins shipped, at an average price of 3i dollars, is about
24,0001., the quantity not being ahoy. 3,000 quintals.
Soap is set down at about 58,0001., being in quantity
30,300 quintals. The shipments of this article are said
to be monthly on the increase. The trade in almonds is
also described as considerable, the yearly shipment liking
valued at 23 5001. The proti:a of the Government tobacco
manufactory, which is in full work, are said to I,e im-
amiss?, the contractor receiving about $lB per quintal
for the leaf, while at the Government depots the
public have to pay $l5O or $2OO, both in the manta
factured and unmanutactured state. The expense of the
manufacture is nevertheless but trifling, since nearly the
whole of the work is done by women, at the rate of about
41. per day. As even the contractor has a good profit
out of his $
18, since the prime cost is only $lO or $l2,
the high price which is charged to the public is found to
offer a great encouragement to smuggling. In approach-
ing the bay of Allicant from Carthagena, the steamers pass
between two small islands called " Tabarca," which are
nbabited by fishermen and a small garrison, and the new
port of Santa Pole, which has obtained a chatter,
which merchants may land their goods there, instead of
going on to Alicant. This, next to Carthagena, is con-
sidered the safest anchorage on the coast, i
but the people
are not industrious enough for it to rise into mpoitanca.
At Ahcant the exchange on London is 37,k, while good
bills on Madrid cannot be got for less than 1 per cent.
premium. Tins shows the want of security in internal
communication.

HER AL D.—That connoisseur in stocks, the Globe,
is at it again, the City people remark, and all agog and
sapiently nodding like a Chinese mandarin in a grocery.
" Look," it says, " how the news of yesterday has sent
up tho funds and sent down tea." Thero is something
specially piquant and gracious in this up and down con-
trast—

Now we go up, up, up,
And now we go down, down, down—
but unluckily for the stock and tea man of the Globe,
just at the moment of his writing the funds which were
"sent up" yesterday, happened to be " sent down" to-
day, when Consols declined to 89i to I for the opening.
After such repeated failures in speculations in the hles,
surely the leading article stock sage of the evening jour-
nal would best consult his own reputation by leaving stock
matters to his City collaborateur. Bank Stock was 162
to 3. Exchequer Bills were Bs. to 10s. premium. Some
considerable sales were effected during the day by loading
parties on the Stock Exchange of Consuls for the Fe-
bruary account at 90 to 904 variously. A considerable
improvement took place to-day in money matters, and the
rates of discount on bills were reduced to 41 per cent.,
and some of the bill-brokers gave notice to the banks that
they could no longer take in money at more than 4 per cent.

POST.—The following letter on the evils of the bank-
ing system has been addressed to us from a remote part
of the kingdom. It represents with much acuteness the
disadvantages under which the small capitalist labours in
comparison with him who is in circumstances to embark
his thousands in a joint-stock or other banking concern,
thereby making, as is well explained, a twofold interest
on his subscription, and, if engaged in trade, driving his
humbler competitor out of the market. The time of our
leading men is taken up with the squabbles of vain and
interested persons who are permitted to obtrude them-
selves upon the public attention. Thes-c pretenders
to monetary science have notions to advance on
minor points connected with the currency ; and it
would seem that they must and will be heard, and
that no really great and striking defect in the system
can be entertained until those inconsiderable matters
are disposed of. The question of what is and what is not
circulation is as far from being determined as it was before
the appointment of the Bank Committee last session of
Parliament, and we doubt not it will continue to be argued
and re-argued throughout the present year. Yet the
question is involved in others of infinitely greater magnis
tude, such as that which is here placed before our readers,
the practical removal of the grounds of which would an-
swer all purposes and silence all discussion :
" Notes for gold and gold for notes will not make the
present paper currency a just medium or measure of value,
and as little will the one or the other secure its steadiness.
The notes of all banks hitherto have been the current rate
of interest in every country, more valuable to the issu-
ing parties than to the recipients. Ido not allude to
the charge for the loan of them to borrowers, but to a
difference subsisting besides that altogether from
the return yielded by the banks' capital, as previously

persons who accept

them. The difference of value is reluctantly admitted by
hankers, but their plea is that there is nothing to hinder
the public from becoming all of them bankers. There
are, however, insurmountable objections to the permission,
and obstructions also to the possibility; and if I can per..
suade you that a currency of more potency to one party
than to another exists, you will agree with me that it is
equally improper, as an unjust Wright, or unfair balance,
rquiring to be replaced by an imperial standard, that the
poorest in the land may have the benefit of it.
" It is certainly a startling announcement to make at
this time of the world's age that no paper money that ever
yet was issued has been of a just value to the public or
conic up to its nominal value.
" The primitive interest, and the free use of the dupli-
cate of the capital invested, form a double rate of inter( at,
and are equivalent to double the bona
,fide capital to the
issuers, so that it is imp( ssible for two competing parties
to contend for anything with any chance of success to the
party not being an issuer of bank-eotes. Granted that
both have 1,0001. each. The capital of one is in bank
shares, which lies probably invested in Government stock
by the manager, arid the institutes of all banks afford the
partners the benefit of a cash account to two-thirds of the
paid-up capital ; but it does not matter, although the whole
were pledged by any of the shareholders, as the bank as a
body is safe, nor does it affect my argument whether the
duplicate be lent to themselves or to second parties. The
profit is theirs, and thus it is equal to twice the amount of
the other's capital. The one has the primitive interest,
and, if he have any sagacity, he will know that all other
things, as regards their respective trades, being the same,
he has, besides, an income of 351. per annum from the
Three-and-a-Half par Cents., with the use of the capital
to boot, which no other means can enable the second party
to obtain ; thence the power of underselling, or of outbid-
ding, which the currency produces.
" Under such a system the bank shareholder can have
no competition against him in his private trade. Ile can
sell five per cent. cheaper than his competitor, although
both bought at the same price, and yet he will, notwith-
standing. have as much profit as he who could not afford
to sell equally low. Wnen the issuer goes into market,
and passes his own notes fur what he buys, he gives a pro-
mise which is utterly false. It purports to be of the same
amount as the price of thu article, but it is not so, inas-
much as it cannat convey the same value to the recipient
as it can bestow upon its creator and issuer ; therefore
it is a false and deceitful payment, five
per cent. below
the proper amount of the debt it affects to discharge.
Much honour will redound to that Cabinet which shall
first establish the true principle of a paper currency.
The fact that certain State creditors still have the
Government interest, after they have otherwise put
the duplicate of their capital to use, and that no attempt
has been made to bring up the humbler State creditors to
a participation of similar benefits, says little for the dis-
cernment of those quondam friends of mankind who cry
out for the multiplication of soup-kitchens and Poor-law
bastiles, in place of going to the root of the evil. We
here see, however, its cause, and, the result of the disc,-
very once promulgated, the remedy will not be far off.
These issuers of bank-notes, who
have ordained that,
when the savings' bank depositor shall seek to apply his
little capital to business, he shall that moment be deprived
of the drawback fur the taxes in
tho shape of interest
which they themselves still obtain, have thus studied to be
relieved undeservedly from contributing one farthing to
the interest of the debt, for they get it back, although they
have relatively no funds to the GOVerrlllleflt securities to
stand for it."
