THE CURRENCY QUESTION IN
MANCHESTER.

We perceive, by an announcement in the columns of
the Manchester Courier, that Mr. Duncan is, this week,
to introduce the subject of cur monetary system
as bearing upon the prosperity of the manufactur-
ing, trading, and industrial interests of Great
Britain to the inhabitants of this important town.
We are glad that this subject will be brought
under the consideration of a body of men who have
distinguished themselves by the energy and determina•
Lion with which they have persevered in working out
their views of various fiscal and political questions.
We are also fully aware of the strong opinion in favour
of Peel's Bills which exists in this place. Manchester
is the scene of the successful monetary operations
of the family of Loyd, of which Lord Overtone,
the reported author of the measure of 1844, i,
the head. But we have so full a conviction of
the truth of the monetary principles which we havt•
attempted to advocate; that we seek only a partial hear
ing and an attentive examination of the question.
being assured that ultimately truth will prevail. Toe
men of Manchester have laboured long and assi
auously in the cause of free trade; let them re
fl -et whether it be reasonable to seek for free trail,
in money's worth, while the trade in money itself
is restricted. The very worst commercial sys-
tem which ana ion can adopt is the mix-c 1 system of
practical protection and fettered flee trade. 'i'hi•
system cowbines the evils and imperfections of 'butt
these contending principles. So far as you adopt pro-
tection or freetrade as the rule, and eroept variou
interests, you are inconsistent and unjust. Bu.
sdopt, tree trade as the rule, and restriction as
the exception in the mater of money,—th
general agent of all trade,—and you inflict injury on alt
the producing and industrial interests. And the rettioe
of this is not ob.cure. As the numbers and manufac-
turing powers of a country increase. you require an
increased circulating medium to effect the buying
and selling of mere goods by mere makers of goofs.
If you restrict by law the money in which these
increased transfers are to be carried on, you reduce tb,
prices of all commodities, and thus injuriously affect
the interests of the manufacturer, and of all the ope-
ratives who labour for him. Let the Manchester
men ask themselves whether, under the existing
system, money will not grow dearer and dearer, and
the work of their hands cheaper and cheaper.
Money will rise in purchasing power, and their
goods will consequently fall. For the sake of
the hundreds of thousands of industrious workmen who
toil in the mills and factories of Lancashire, who
know little or nothing of the Currency Question, but
who feel its effects in the wretchedness and dis-
tress which they have periodically to endure, we
entreat the thinking portion of that great commercial
community not to wait for the teaching of another panic
before they attempt a reformation of the evils of the
monetary system.—Derbyshire Courier.

THE WEATHER and CROPS in SCOTLAND.

Th. strong westerly winds and cold droughty wea-
ther which prevailed for such a lengthened time, has
been succeeded by hot sunshine; and yesterday was
one of the warmest days we have bad fur several
)ears. With a continuance of such weather, the
crops will, to a considerable degree, recover their
former favourable appearance, particularly the wheat,
which has now arrived at the critical , period of
blooming. 'Winter wheat, upon the whole, looks well,
although short in the straw, and is at present bursting
into ear, being about eight nays behind the avenge of
the last few seasons. Where the head has appeared, it
looks promising. Spring sown wheat is in some dis-
tricts thin and short in the stalk. Barley appears
not to be bulky, but the early sown fields show a lengthy
head. Oats are short in the straw, and will require on•
pious showers to make them of average bulk. Beans will,
in most districts, be a deficient crop. Potatoes assume
various appearances; in some oases they are coming up
" spindley" in the stalk, and will not produce a full
crop; while in others they present a very pro-
mising appearance. We have heard of one or two in-
stances of fields being ploughed up from the sets giving
way, while, upon the west coast, fields that were highly
promising have been so seriously injured by the high gaa.
of Sandiy fortnight, that they have also been ploughed
up. The bay is everywhere spoken of as a
light crop, and the one-year old pastures have
hitherto been unable to maintain fat stock in condition
without the aid of other substances. Old pastures have,
wishin the,e few days, assumed a more healthy growth.
and will, with a fee c,,pious showers, afford a luxuriant
herbage for the stock. Turnips are everywhere behind.
several of the more early sown fields have been resown.
while the fly and black beetle are still busy with the
y uu,:g plant.—Scolvmln.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY —We learn trona New York
that cotton ha.l lost another i cent per lb. closing very
flit on the 17th ult. The total receipts, according to th
official list of the 18th, ware 2,240,508 bales, being
283,877 in excess of those of the same period in 1850, and
the accounts of the weather are highly favourable to the
growing crop. We are, at the same time, in receipt of
the overland advices, showing a dull and drooping state ('f
imports at Bombay, as was to ba expected at the season.
the arrivals were heavy, and stocks were accumu-
lating.
The money market was still tight, and the rate
of exchange rather improving, with a large amount of
bills remaining unsold. At Calcutta the trade in piece
goods had become worse, through a pressure for money
in the bazaar, and a diminished demand for the upper
provinces. Still the sales of shirting. were large,
though, as in most other fabrics, at lower prices.
An improvement is looked for, however, with the re-
opening of the inland navigation. Yarns were dull,
except 40's and 50's. Extremely little had been done
in bills, and remitters were consequently able to
command more favourable terms, which, however,
were not expected to be maintained. These accounts
have rather increased that quietness in our market which
has naturally succeeded the recent extensive operations
in yarns and goods. The India merchants are discouraged
at seeing the state of things in which their- purchases at
high prices are reaching their destination; and they there-
fore show no disposition to operate at the present reduced
rates. The articles they take, particularly goods, are
consequently flat; and manufacturers hardly exhibit as
much firmness as they did last week. As regards cloth,
generally, however, there is no change in the quotations,
though the business is diminished. The Germans are
holding back from the market more than they did be-
fore, and the freest buyers of yarns continue to be the
home consumers. There is a more decided firmness in
warps and cops than in bundles ; but even in the latter,
the attainable prices of a week ago are maintained; and
it is only in cases where such prices were than exceeded
that any concession is now made.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The attendance of buyers in
the market to-day has been thin, and the business trans-
acted has been limited; but there is little or no change
in Prices. In the wool market prices are firm, but there
is little doing
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—At length we are enabled
to report a slightly improved demand for goods, chiefly
neckerchiefs, which are rather easier of sale than has
limited production, hitherto been the this tiering; not, however, to
