BANK COMMITTEE.

The Committee of Country Bankers had an interview
yesterday with Lord Althorp, at which they stated to
his Lordship their appointment as representatives of
the general interests of the body to which they be-
longed, and expressed their desire, in conformity with
the instruction' they had received, to give evidence before
the Parliamentary Committee now sitting, on the state
of banking generally in the districts to which they be-
longed. They tendered to Lord Althorp the names of
seven gentlemen of most extensive connexions in the
commercial, manufacturing, mining, and agricultural
districts, severally, from whom the Parliamentary Com-
mittee would be able to elicit all the information that
might be necessary. Lord Althorp appeared to think
that the evidence of so many gentlemen would extend
the inquiry into too wide a range, but was willing to
receive the names tendered, reserving to himself, how-
ever, the option of selecting from the number such of
them as he might deem proper. One of the Committee
having remarked to Lord Althorp, that he had heard
a disposition existed on the part of Ministers to hurry
through the present inquiry, his Lordship distinctly stated
that no grounds existed for such a supposition ; that be
and his colleagues were determined to pursue the matter,
and to give it a full and fair investigation. The deputation
left Lord Althorp highly gratified with the very polite
reception they experienced, and at his promise to render
the inquiry into the affairs of banking as complete as pos-
sible. It has been stated in some quarters, that a portion
of the country bankers were inclined to enter into a com-
promise with the Bank of England, and issue its paper,
Withdrawing their own from circulation, on some such
principle as that laid down by the Governor of the Bank
10 his celebrated circular of 18:27. This is, however,
denied, and it is stated that the only foundation for it is,
that the bankers of one district, through their deputation
to the general assembly of Bankers of England and Wales,
held lately in London, suggested a plan of the kind, as
likely to be advantageous to their interests ; but it was
Ceupled with a condition that the Bank should withdraw
its branches from the district, or merely retain them as a
means of supplying a local circulation to the bankers.—
The terms proposed have not, however, been acceded to by
the Bank...-. Times.
