COURT CIRCULAR.

The Duchess of CUMBERLAND came to town yesterday
from her residence at 'Kew. Her Royal Highness visited
the Duchess D'ANGotrLEmr, and also paid a visit to the
Baroness D'OMPTEDA, the lady of the Hanoverian Minister.
M. BERMUDFZ, the Spanish Minister; the Baron de
WESSENBURG, the Austrian Minister on a special mission;
M. GERSDORIT, the Saxon Minister; M. VAN DE WEYER.
the Belgian Minister ; the Baron de MAREUIL, the French
Minister ; M. Moaxisro, the Minister from Buenos Ayres;
the Baron de NEUMANN, the Austrian Charge d'Affaires;
and Count FUNCHAL, visited Viscount PALMERSTON yes-
terday afternoon at the Foreign-office.

The Duchess of ANGOULEME attended ten
o'clock mass yesterday morning in the Catholic Chapel,
Clarendon-square, Somers Town, and received the sacra-
ment. The presence of this illustrious stranger attracted a
larger congregation than usually attend in the week days.
Her Royal Highness took her departure almost immediately
after Mass was over, and was conducted to her carriage by
the Clergymen connected with the chapel. She wa,
plainly attired, and was herself and suite conveyed in two
carriages, without any of the regalia of Royalty, or the
least trace of ostentation ; even the servants ware in plain
clothes.—Morning Paper.
The short delay which has taken place in the
departure of the Marquis of PALEELLA is looked upon a►
one of the most fortunate events that could have happened
for the Portuguese cause. We have reason to know that
he has obtained, in virtue of the probabilities which exist
in favour of Dun PEDRO'S ultimate success, assuranctq,
upon the part of certain influential Governments, which
will be of material set vice to the cause in which he is en•
gaged. Yesterday a vessel, having on board a considerable
number of horses, left the port of London on her way t,
Oporto, having been preceded by others which conveyed
about 360 volunteers, most of them soldiers who had
fought in Portugal and Spain, and about to be followed
by a larger number. Accoutrements, arms, ammunition
&c., have likewise been remitted in the London Merchant,
the Britomart, and other vessels, while from Brest, Cher-
bourg, and other parts of France, men, horses, and arms
are embarking fur Oporto, so that by the middle of Octo-
ber next Don PEDRO will have a force of 14,000 regular
troops, 6,000 volunteers, and from 500 to 600 horse, with
a most efficient train of artillery. The rainy sewon, which
will shortly commence in Portugal, will enable his boats
to navigate the Douro up to a considerable distance, and
with this addition of force he will be able to assume the
offensive, and sweep the whole northern part of that river
of all the Miguelites who now occupy it.—Morn. Paper.
Miss VINCENT, of the Surrey theatre, will
shortly appear at the Haymarket theatre, having been en-
gaged by Mr. Moxitts for three years.
It is in contemplation to improve the harbour
of Newhaven, so as to render it useful to Government in
case of war. Several gentlemen have lately been down
from London surveying the harbour, who were of opinion
that it might be made a most effective depot. In case of
this being carried into effect, a rail-road, it is said, will
be made from London.—Brighton Gazette.
SARRANS' MEMOIRS OF LAFAYETTE.—
The only complete and authentic translation of this inte-
resting work, containing two portraits (those of LAFAY
ETTE and LOUIS PHILIPPE), was published this day by Mr.
BENTLEY, New Burlington-street, and may be had of all
booksellers.

The Quotidienne gives the following table
showing the gradual increase of the public debt in France
since the 15th century:—

In 1562 under Charles IX.
1582 debts left by Henry 111 339,649,6 0
1595 in the Reign of Hen. IV. under Sully.,, 96,900,000
1660 do. Louis XI V. under Colbert 783,400,000
1698 do. do. under Pelletier
1740 do. do. under Chamilliard 4,386,318,750
1788 do. Louis XVI. under Necker .....
1807 under Napoleon (1) ... 1,912,500,000
1821 under Louis XVIII. (2) 3,466.000,000
1829 under Charles X 4,260,000,. 00
1831 under Louis Philip 5,135,438,457
1832 do. in June 5,417,59.5,017
To which is to be added the new loan of 150,000,000
From this table, it adds, it will be perceived that since
1830 the public debt has increased by 1,307,595,0171
The Nouvelliste, however, says " The statement of th.
Quotidienne is notoriously false. The following is il
reality the increase of the public debt since 1830 :—De-
ficit of 1830 falling as a charge upon the ft wing debt,
63,700,0001. ; loan of 1831, 120,000,000 f. ; loan of
1832, 150,000,000 f. Thus the Quotidienne has placed
to the account of the Government of July nearly
1,000.000,000 f. too much."

IMPORTANT FACT.—Monday se'nnight,
there were eleven deaths from cholera, within twelve
hours, at the small town of Ashburton, in Devonshire.
Next day the inhabitants strewed the streets with lime,
and burnt tar-barrels in various places, for the purpose of
disinfecting the atmosphere, and up to Saturday night not
a single death from the epidemic had occurred.—Taunton
Courier.

STRANGE APPEARANCE IN THE HEAVENS.
—S rturday night, about half-past 9, several persons in St.
Sidwell's were surprised by a sudden appearance of a light
in the heavens, in a south-easterly direction, apparently over
Heavitree. The phenomenon had the appearance of an
immense fish or serpent, with a very large head, and a
long spear-like tail. The moon was at a great distanc,
from the meteor, and nearly obscured by dense clouds at
the time of its appearance. —E.teter Gazette.

WORCESTERSHIRE Fox HOUNDS.—Mr. C.
BROCK enters upon the direction of these hounds this
season ; the kennel is at Henwiek, and all the arrange
ments for taking the field are in a state of great forwarchaers
PARTRIDGE SHOOTING.—The birds this
year run in very large covie', and are pretty strong on th,
wing. During the last week in this town partridges were
offered at 4s. 6,1. a brace, and some fine leverets at 3s. or
49. each, according to the size.—Maidslone Gazette.

Great difficulty exists in the safe employment
of capital in the City at this time, so much so that die
counts on second-rate bills have been effected at 3 per
cent., or lower. The Money-market has probably no•
been in a state more tranquil and free from agitation for
many years, which makes this period a peculiarly favour-
able one for the discussion of the Bank question. Some
persons appear to apprehend that the low rate of interest
will force much capital into foreign loans and joint stock
companies, but there is no sympton at present of the re-
currence to such follies. The disasters of 1825 are still
too recent to allow them to take deep root.—Times.
DON PEDRO'S CAVALRY.—A large num-
ber of horses, destined for the use of the Constitutional
army in Portugal, has been recently purchased in London
by Don PEDRO'S agents, and will be shipped off immedi-
ately for Oporto. Yesterday 50 well-bred cavalry horses
embarked on board the ship Elizabeth, in the West India
Dock. The vessel is expected to sail this day. Other
ships are engaged for the same purpose. The horses have
been selected with great care, and proper accoutrements,
and experienced farriers, go out with them. Oa their ar
rival two regiments of cavalry will be immediately formed.—
Times.

We understand that the Spanish Government
stilt persist in their determination to send two ships of
war to the coast of Portugal to obtain satisfaction for
wrongs alleged to have been committed by Admiral SAR-
Tomus on the Spanish commerce. It is also said that the
head-quarters of the Spanish army of observation have
been moved fotward from Salamanca to Ciudad Ro.
drigo. Nothing, however, is to be apprehended in that
quarter, as two English Officers are stationed on the
frontier, with instructions to give immediate notice of any
hostile demonstrations against Don PEDRO.-Morniny
Herald.

A professional gentleman, of Tonbridgc
Wells, who had occasion last week to go to Lewes, or-
dered his carriage to Uckfield, to bring him home at night.
He returned to Uckfield about midnight, and, being much
fatigued, fell asleep soon after he took his place in the cha
riot. The man had been directed to drive by Maresfield,
at which place he mistook his way, taking the London
road instead of the road home. He continued to drive or,
until he reached Godstone turnpike, when his master's
slumbers were broken by some altercation about the toll.
His chagrin may be readily conceived when he found
he had travelled 23 miles, and was still 27 from home, his
horses jaded, and his anxiety to be at home very great,
where he arrived at seven o'clock in the morning, having
posted from Godstone. The distance from Uckfield is
forteen miles, in performing which he had gone a circuit
of fifty.

DISTURBANCE AT WELLINGBOROUGH,
NORTHA3/ETONSHIRE.—A gentleman, who dates his let-
ter from Northampton, Wednesday evening, half-past
9 o'clock, writes word that Lord BRUDENELL, with a
party of friends, entered the town of Wellingborough,
which forms a part of the northern division of the counts
of Northampton, on the morning of that day, for the pur-
pose of canvassing its voters for the ensuing election ; and
from some cause, which the writer does not attempt to
explain, a serious fracas took place, in which Lord Baunx-
NELL and his party are said to have been worsted, and
compelled to make a hasty retreat out of the town. Loris
BRUDENELL is reported to have suffered considerable per-
sonal injury. Expresses were sent off to Weedon Barracks
for the aid of the military, and a detachment from their
passed through Northampton on their road to Wellingbo-
rough about 7 o'clock in the evening.

The real version of the story relating to the
interview between the Prime Minister and the Speaker of
the House of Commons, we understand to he as follows :
—lmmediately after the Bill to ratify the Retiring Pen-
sion of the Speaker had received the Royal Assent, he
waited upon Earl GREY to thank him, as the head of the
Government, for the handsome and delicate manner in which
his (the Speaker's) services had been appreciated; but (said
the Speaker) there is another appendage which has generally
accompanied the pension, of which he took leave to remind
the Premier—and that was the Peerage. Lord GREY,
with infinite grace and quickness, immediately replied—
Why, Mr. Speaker, you are opposed to my Government?
—Certainly, my Lord, there are leading principles of your
Administration—for instance, the Reform Bill—of which
I totally disapprove, but I claim the Peerage as an honour,
which, with few exceptions, has been the reward of services
like mine. Lord GREY closed the interview by obser►ing,
You, Mr. Speaker, would be a formidable debater in the
House of Lords, and in the present state of the Peerage, I
could not recommend his 111a.yrsTy to add one unit to the
Opposition.—. Morning Chronicle Correspondent.
PROGRESS AND FATALITY OF THE CiiO•
LEILA —We are happy to state that cholera has been oa
the decline during the last week. We have seen several
cases of common cholera, which are of frequent occurrence
at this period of the year, and which yielded to ordinary
tretatment. We were called to a case ufthe epidemic when
our last number was going to press, which from its
violent and sudden fatality deserves notice. A gentleman,
aged 28, who had lived very freely for three weeks pre-
viously, and laboured under chronic diarrboaa, was return-
ing through Piccadilly at eleven o'clock, in the morni.ig
of Thursday week. He arrived at his residence, in the
neighbourhood of Covent-garden, at a quarter to twelve.
He was then very ill, and a young medical friend pie-
.cribed very judiciously for him. Mr. KENNY, of the
Strand, was called in, and be saw him at half-past three
p. m. He had every symptom of the malignant cholera;
every thing possible was dune for him, but he expired at
half-past four p. m. Dr. KTItkISON was also called, but
arrived after life was extinct. Such is a mei ine,lo'y ex-
ample of the uncertainty of li.e, and of the mama ity of
cholera. —Medical and Surgical Journal.

SPIRIT bl 7 THE PUBLIC JOURNALS-

Having,,3lready zealously, and we trust effA-
satnallY, contended against the repeal of Mr.
Peel's bill of 1819, against the consequent re-
enactment of a restriction bill, and against the
contemplated depreciation of the currency which
must necessarily be the result of such measures,
and which are even anticipated and avowed by
their heedless, interested, or ignorant partisans,
we have no desire to say any thing further on
the subject till we see an answer to our remarks
from any quarter that knows the common use of
terms in discussing such topics. The poor ad-
vocates of depreciation, through the Tory press,
are at fault on the mere vocabulary of the sci-
ence, and therefore it would be as ridiculous to
argue with them about our monetary system, as
with a blind man about colours. The advan-
tages of a secure paper-currency we have never
wished to deny or to depreciate. Every body
feels the convenience of carrying a 100/. Bank
of England note in his pocket, instead of an in-
cumbrance of upwards of 21h. of gold, Troy
weight. Every body knows, at the same time, the
,greater facilities of transmitting paper from one
district to another than gold, and the diminished
chances of robbery or loss. No person who has
been in foreign countries where silver is gene-
rally used as the current medium of exchange.
can forget the trouble and labour of effecting
large payments by metallic means. But these
advantages, though great, are not the only, or
the chief, blessings attending the substitution of
a safe and convertible paper-currency for a cur-
rency exclusively of the precious metals in a
country like this, where our exchangeable wealth.
is so overflowing,—where our transactions are
o numerous,—where our payments of labour
are so immense,—and where paper credit and
abridged modes of business are consequently so
necessary or so useful. It is calculated, and
gei]erally admitted, that the whole of our pre-
eent circulation, inchiding gold, silver, Bank of
England notes, and country bank paper, is
about or below 70,000,000/. Such a sum, by
means of our more extensive credit, of our or..
ganized system of banking. and of our other
contrivances for abridging commercial transac-
tions, is made to perform an extent of exc!iannes
which the coin of all Europe would not perform
on the old system. Mr. Rothschild truly stated,
that, all the commercial transactions of the world
were rettled and adjusted in London, and
yet the whole amount of our currency in specie
and bank-notes does not approach that of France,
which has not one-tenth part of the commercial
htesiness of England. '1 hat banks and bank-
notes are essential to the facilities foe this im-
mense business, nobody can deny ; though, as
appears from :he daily transactions of the clear-
irig-house in London, the intervention of cur-
rency is not necessary to adjust transactions, the
extent of which in one year could not be repre.
stinted by all the precious metals existing in
Europe, or dug from the mines since the disco-
ver:, of America. Nor are these the onh
advantages of paper credit exhibited in the shape
of Bank issues. The clearing-house business
might even be effected without coin, to as grew
an extent as it is at present without hank-notes.
But the chief and the peculiar advantage of
paper money, is the saving of the interest of the
property invested in the precious metals as coin.
nhich they displace. The poor creatures who
talk in the Tory press about this saving, and who
have adopted the language, without comprehend-
ing the meaning, of the political economists, abote
a " cheap currency," tell us of the wonders whichi
a small note circulation, and a general substitu-1
tion of paper for gold, would produce. For
their instruction, and for the benefit of the
=mall portion of the public whom their errors
might delude or mislead, we shall here explain
the full amount of this saving. The small notes
being withdrawn since 1826, sovereigns have
necessarily filled up the chasm between the con-
venient quantity of 20s. or 2/. in silver, and a 51.
hank-note. At the time when paper constituted
the whole circulation, the notes below 5/. formed
about a third, or a fourth, of the whole currency
of the Bank of England. In the country the
proportion of small notes was greater. But
probably we shall be allowing a great deal too
much when we say that the gold circulation at
present amounts to the united circulation of the
small notes of the Bank of England and of the
country banks together, before the removal of
the Restriction Act. Suppose, however, we
say that 13,000,0001. (and we shall have no ob.
jection to the admission of 20,000,000/.) of gold
is now in circulation, and that by the substitution of
paper-money, that sum of coin employed in this
vitproductive operation might be diverted into
the channels of productive industry. Let us
calculate the result. It is plain, that the only
possible advantage which could conceivably bt,
gained by a people who were resolved to adhere
to their metallic standard, by keeping up the
value of their paper to that of the gold, which h
" promised to pay," would be the saving of the
interest on the coin displaced. If any other ad-
vantage could be gained, let any person who
knows the meaning of words on the subject point
it out. We shall take it for granted in the mean
Lime that this is admitted. W hat follows ?
Vy7by, that for the currency of this mighty nation,
which enjoys more trade, and circulates more
property within the year, than all Europe put
together, we employ a quantity of specie which,
if disposed of in another way, and supplied by
paper, would save Somewhat more than half or
three quarters of a million a year ! In othe;
Words, by using what is called a '' dear" for "
cheap currency," we make a sacrifice of a sum
which we uselessly give to the Bank for trans-
acting business which could be transacted by
other means for half the remuneration. Thus
the greatest commercial nation in the world is to
be ruined—it is to be disabled from paying its
debts, or supporting its industrious classes—
because it pays half a million a-year for a secure
currency, instead of adopting a precarious and
fluctuating paper circulation at that sacrifice ! !
The taxes of this nation amount to near
50,000,000/. ; we pay for our army and navy
14,000,000/. or 15,000,0001. annually for de-
fending us abroad, where no aggression is
threatened ; and we grudge half a million a year
to pay the expenses of a safe currency, and to
guard us from the calamities of a panic, of fluc-
tuating prices, and commercial confusion ! ! Ad-
mitting that it were possible to enjoy ail the
advantages of a safe currency,with an exclusively
paper system, supported in value by a teference
to a bullion or ingot standard, as proposed by
the late Mr. Risardo, it might be desirable to •
save even this comparatively miserable sum, but
we can never for a moment balance the most tri-
tliog chances of failure against the magnitude of
the object to be secured. The loss of interest
on metallic property is trifling ; the hazards of a
paper circulation without a metallic standard are
incalculable, and have already brought this na-
tion to the brink of ruin. In making these ob-
servations we have regarded the exclasive paper
money manufacturers, whom we are answering,

merely as economists of the national resources,
and not as advocates for a depreciation of the
currency. - The latter project is not economy—it
is simply plunder—as we have already proved.—
Times.

A good deal of sensation has been caused by
the departure from Edinburgh of Charles the
Tenth. At first it was believed that the Go-
vernment of this country had Yielded to the so-
licitations of Louis Philip, and signified to the
ex-Monarch that his departure would be accept-
able ; but it is now known that the departure is
quite voluntary. A very different cause has
been stated to us, which we shall give as we
received it. It is said that Louis Philip, having
become more and more convinced of the preca-
riou,mess of the juste milieu position, has been
at pains to impress upon the ex-Royal Family,
that he accepted the Sovereignty as a trust for
Henry the Fifth, and with a view to preserve his
own fortune, and to preserve the country from
the invasion of foreigners, which would have
followed the conversion of France into a Re-
public. The Princess Adelaide is named as the
channel of communication between Louis Philip
and Charles the Tenth. It is said that the Ci-
tizen King makes a great merit with his pre-
decessor that he has taken no steps to arrest
the Duchess of Berry, though nothing would
be more easy than to discover her, and
that the Carlists have been all through treated
with great kindness and forbearance. It is on
an understanding between the two branches of
the Bourbon Family, it is said, that Charles the
Tenth is now about to depart for the Continent.
This is probably a calumny against Louis
Pnilippe. It is quite clear, however, that his
position is very insecure, and it is difficult to
persuade oneself that a man of his penetration is
not fully aware of the impossibility of governing
France for any leuth of time on the present syN•
tern. lie has no hold on the people, as is fully
proved by the public Journals ; though for the
sake of order, no countenance may be given to
insurrectionary movements. It would not, there.
fore, at allsorprise us, were he to compromise with
the young Duke of Bordeaux, and thus endea-
vour to secure his fortune for his family, and
secure the Monarchy, by rallying all the Carlists
round the Throne. There certainly is a growing
disposition in the French to believe that Louis
Philippe has sold them to the Holly Alliance,
and that they committed a great mistake when
they did not rid themselves of the whole Bour-
bon family.—Morning Chronicle.
We cannot reconcile, on any reasonable prin-
ciple of conduct, the ardour of the " good peo-
ple" of Edinburgh for Reform, civil liberty, and
all that, with their tender solicitude :for the for-
tunes of the exiled Bourbons, and their almost
inconsolable grief at the departure of those il-
lustrious victims of their own despotic ambition.
It is unmanly to insult fallen greatness, and no
generous mind could be capable of the act, even
where the loss of power is the consequence and
punishment of crime. But it is one thing to
abstain from insulting a great delinquent in his
adversity, :Ind another to pay him the tribute of
sycophantic veneration ; for, if we may believe
the Edinburgh Observer, those terms are not

too strong to describe the sort of homage which
the people of Edinburgh offer to Charles X. and
his family. Whatever it may have cost the
Bourbons to purchase " golden opinions " in
Scotland, they certainly seem not to have laid
out their money in vain. Many and great are
the virtues which our Scottish brethren have
discovered in the exiled Bourbons. If the peo-
ple of France, who do not possess the acuteness
of the inhabitants of " Auld Reekie," could
only have found out those virtues, they need not
have left the Tuileries for the ancient palace of
the banished Stuarts. A truly Christian rnuni-

cence is one of the noble attributes of

the Bourbon character which calls forth the
warmest panegyric of the " Land o' Cakes."—
But the widows and orphans who wept over the
graves of the victims of the blood-stained policy
of the fatal ordinances should not be called as
Nitnesses on the occasion. At this very mo-
ment, too, Vtbile our Scottish " Liberals" are
lavishing their praises upon Charles X. and his
family, some of that family are stirring up the
flames of civil war in France, reckless of the ca-
lamities of fire, and famine, and the sword, which
their selfish ambition brings upon their tountry.
It is quite ridiculous to tell us that the Duchess
of Berry is pursuing her desperate career with.
out the knowledge and consent of others of her
family. He that ordered Marmont to " fire on

the people in masses" may be very pious, but
his piety is not connected with any Christian re-
pugnance to the shedding of human blood.—
We say again we would not have even this fallen
Monarch insulted in his misfortunes, but we

(hill it would be in better taste if the Scottish
patriots were not quite so ostentatious of their
sympathy.—Morning Herald.

One great difficulty by which the Bank ques-
tion is surrounded is the flippancy with which a
portion of the periodical Press allude to a change
in the present financial system of the country.
Innovation is their polar star, theoretical projects
the atmosphere that they breathe most freely in,
and they would fain persuade their readers that
it is as easy for a great empire to jump from
one monetary scheme to another as it is for a
man to shovel his small change from one end of
his purse to the other. If the British nation were
now commencing its political career this abstract
treatment of the question might not be out of
place, but in the consideration of it now we have to
deal with 800 millions of public debt, an annual
expentiiture commensurate with that debt, and
all the varied ramifications of embarrassment
arising out of these two great objects, and many
others of deep importance. For the last century
this country has been proceeding rapidly to a
highly complicated state of society ; for the last
forty years she has been proceeding at the rate
of .500-horse power ; and the last two years in
producing events that have had a direct ten-
dency to render complex in a tenfold degree the
political, commercial, and financial affairs of this
empire, have unfortunately opened to us fresh
point for reflection, and new objects of embar-
rassment, in every public question. A Govern-
ment has been in existence during that period
that has lived and moved and had its being by
promoting popular excitement, and setting the
brute force of the rabble against the property and
intelligence of the country. The Bank of Eng-
land, like Church property, and every other pro•
minent public object, has come under the clamour
of the mob, and been bandied about as a nuisance,
a thing that ought to be destroyed as interfering
with the rights of the people, and only ser-
viceable to tax-eaters and boroughmongers.
How far the new representative scheme will
work well for the permanent benefit of the
country it would be out of place here to inquire.
We have too often given our opinion upon it to
force it into this discussion ; but if that scheme
should prove the panacea that its warmest advo-
cates anticipate, none of them, we think, %lib

deny that it has produced an irritation in its prc
1 gress to maturity that it will take a lung time
abate. The bonds of society have been shako
physical force has exhibited its power, an
every circumstance connected with this schetx
has tended to dijoint the relations of our NT
empire. If. we look at commercial affairs vi
find every branch of them oppressed and over
borne. Great changes previous to the lal
political excitement had taken place in 0
laws and regulations concerning them, au
all the events of the last two years have Ins
the effect of shaking confidence and destro3
ing enterprise, which may truly be calle
the lungs of trade. The finances, under th
management of the present Cabinet, if not in
course of permanent decay, are under sevwe tem
porary derangement, and their situation i
creating serious anxiety in the mind of ever
individual capable of thinking upon the subject
T h is, then, is a short but a true statement of th
present position of the Briti,h Empire, and w
would ask if it be an encouraging one for an
tgreat change in her monetary system? NV e regan
he Bank question more as one of time than an
thing else. We do not mean to say, we neve
have said, that at all events, and under all cir
cumstances, the Bank is to proceed to the ens
of time with its exclusive privileges ; all w
mean to maintain is, that the Bank has conducto
itself with great propriety, and its operations hali
been attended with extensive national advantag
and that at this crisis the country would Li,
placed in extreme jeopardy by any sudden and ex
tensive alteration in the position of that establish
meat. The year 1819 was a period whenthe oppoii
tunity was afforded to Parliament of placing tF
currency upon the best possible footing. Th
opportunity, in its fullest extent, was lost, an
it is a question whether, putting all other cons
derations aide, the circulation be in a positiof
for any violent transirion ~, nhout serious na-
tional danger being incurred. To pursue this
part of the subject, however, is not our object
a would lead us into an extensive and delicate
course of inquiry, and therefore we shall c10,,e
these general remarks, preparatory to our more
detailed statement in a day or two, winch will
hear especially upon the management of the Bank
as proved before the Committee of the flouse of
Commons, by merely asserting that if the country
weather the present storm, and her leading inte-
rests revive from the pressure of the present ex,
citement, that the currency will be every year
approaching a more satisfactory point, which will
materially facilitate any future changes in its
regulation.—Morning Post.

`SOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT- SEPT. 13.

John Warr, late of GreajWolston, near Newport Pag.
nell, a farmer, was opposed by Mr. COOKS for a Mr. Stor4
ton, and supported by Mr. WOODROFFE.
The insolvent made his first appearance before the Com.i
mission,rs in July last, when it appeared that the whole of
his special balance sheet was fabricated i❑ falsehood, and
he was consequently remanded to file a new one, with
which be now made his second appearance. •
His opposing creditor was his father-in-law, who had
sued him fr.r board and lodging during his courtship, and
obtained a verdict, but no money.
The COURT, after observing that thi, was the roost de-
plorable instance of deliberate perjury in their recollection,
adjcurned the case till Wednesday next, for the production
of the insolvent's brother.
