TIE MONETARY STATE OF AFFAIRS.

( Front the Derbgshire Courier.)
By the last Bank RAurn it appears that the
Bank holds in the Issue Department no less than
17,159,7001. Comparing this return with that of
the Bank in the May of 1843, about the same
period after the Panic of 1847 as has now elapsed
since tb t of last autumn, we find that the Bank
had in 1843 12 661,4101. in the Issua Department,
that is, about 3t millions less bullion than it has
at present.

The Reserve of Nc.te3 in 1858 is 11,351,7701.,
against 8,566,610/. in 1848. The rate of discount
was in May 1848 4 per cent., being 3 per cent. at
present.
Altogether, therefore, the'ren.ction from the
Monetary crisis of 1857 has been more rapid than
was the case after that of 1847.
The trade reports manifest some slight improve-
ment, but as yet it is only slight. Improvement
there must necessarily be, for at one time in
the autumn of last year all the great staple trades
of the country Were, as nearly as possible, sus-
pended. With a low rate of discount, indicating
the increase in the circulating medium—which is
now 31,634,7001. against 21,141,0651. in the week
of last November before the suspension of the
Bank Charter Act—merchants and traders have
necessarily greater facilities for obtaining the
money requisite for carrying on the trade of the
country.

But. the heavy blow which has been struck, the
numbers who have been ruined, and the greater
number whose re .ourees have been crippled by the
late crisis, it must take time to bring trade into a
healthy arid remunerative condition.
Every indication of the withdrawal of bullion
will for some time to come be watched with un-
er,siness, for our retention of bullion depends the
revival of trade and the "growing confidence" of
our commerce. After the depression cf 1837 a
drain of Whim). back alarm and diArcss in 1839.
Should India require heavy remittances of specie,
or the unsettled state of Europe cause a drain, we
may have a speedy return of our difiiculties. The
" Cycle" of trade, according to Lord Overstone,
may be exp?cred to bring us
a crisis, with all its
attendant evils about every ten
ars. But the
Bank Charter Act, though never better than its
promises, is sometimes worse.
We have under the Monetary system of Peel and
Overstone no security. If a crisis come soon we
may hope it will not be so severe ; if it be long
delayed it is certain to be proportionably ruinous.
