for no one could for a moment be deceived by the
notion that such was the case. It might have an invi-
diouz appearance, but it would have no effect in one
out of every thousand transactions. It would be
mere work of supererogation. The other alter•
native alluded to by the Times,. viz., that " a
legal tender" should be prominently affi'ed on all
Bank of England notes, is unexceptionable ; in
fact, there is no reason why a memorandum
stating the actual law on the subject
may not be affixed at the mere will and pleasure
of the Directors !

e. • 7,
qr! q_:slS4 •
e•-•Y

We should greatly prefer that there should be
no " legal tender" but with purely national notes
issued under the authority of Parliament, and re-
ceivable by every tax collector. These notes be-
ing based on public credit, and guaranteed not
only by the total amount of property in the hands
of every British subject, but even by a mortgage
of their labour, would be placed beyond the possi-
bility of the faintest breath of suspicion.
It would be the interest and duty of every tax-
payer to maintain their value unimpaired, and
any run. would at once be suppressed by the
united action of the people. The Bank of England
notes would then go on credit, like those of all other
establishments ; and we believe that they would
seldom, if ever, be rejected, unless under very
peculiar circumstances indeed.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1857.

But what does the Times mean by the asser-
tion, that "14,000,0001,, or thereabouts4which is
the issue allowed to the Bank, has been clearly as-
certained to be the limit to which a currency
based merely on securities can be carried, with
the certainty that its par value, in the Money
Market will be maintained I" We join issue with
the Times as to this extraordinary statement, in
every possible way. There is not a particle of
evidence in favour of the amount thus arbitrarily
selected, And it is quite clear that if it were
the right sum in 1844, it must be totally
inadequate in 1857, when the population has
increased, and commercial transactions have been
enhanced in a still larger ratio. We find from
the " NERMeiRCII tables," constructed from data
supplied by Mr. J. G. HUBBARD, formerly Gover-
nor of the Bank of England, that ever since 1851
the notes in the hands of the public—or "out-
standing circulation," have increased on an aver-
age by no less than 4,000,000/. sterling.
This sum has consequently been unduly
abstracted from the Bank reserve. If, then,
14,000,0001. could be safely issued in 1851,
it is manifest that 18,000,000/. might be issued
with equal safety in 1857. The natural expan-
sion of trade has absorbed a much larger propor-
tion of the circulating medium, as may be easily
conceived from the simple and indisputable fact,
that the declared value of our exports has in-
creased since 1848 by more than 125 per cent.,
or from 51,000,0001. to 120,000,0001. sterling.
So far for the propriety of retaining the abitrary
standard selected in 1844.
But as to the other part of the statement
that "it is capable of demonstration that under
no imaginable contingencies can the exchangeable
value of the issues of the Bank be for a moment
jeopardised," we repeat what we have already
proved—on the 14th March last, from unexcep-
tionable evidence, that the Bank might have been
compelled to suspend payment of its notes, while
nearly 8,000,0001. of useless bullion was
stored in its coffers, and that such would have
been the case on the 23d October, 1847, when
the notes and bullion, not only for the parent
establishment, but all its branches, amounted to
less than two millions, while the deposits of the
London bankers alote, which would have been
withdrawn at a moment's notice, but for the virtual
suspension of the Act by the Government letter,
exceeded that sam, and that of the general pub,
lie was sevenfold the amount. In fact, the Go.
vernor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank
admitted, in their evidence, that the
Bank must have closed if more than
1,600,000/. had boon demanded. We have
thus pointed out the fallacy of the arguments by
which the Leviathan attempts to sustain the re-
strictions. Butt as " coming events cast their
shadows before," its admissions may be accepted
as auspicious omens of important changes being
inaugurated in the unwise and impolitic law, that
has paralysed British industry, and frequently re*
duced merchants, manufacturers, and traders, to
the verge of ruin.

The Ministers' Money Bill has passed through
the Lords, and that obnoxious impost will now,
within a few days, be interred in a dishonoured
grave. The Earl of DERDT is entitled to great
credit for the manly and straightforward course
he pursued. Having taken the sense of a very full
house on a former occasion, and finding the views
of the majority adverse to those which he so ably
and eloquently advocated, he bowed to the deci-
sion, and withdrew from all further opposition
to the measure. Ho might have offered
a vexatious and factious resistance to its
progress. He might have occasioned consi.
derable loss of time ; but perceiving that it was
condemned by both Houses, he very properly
withdrew from the contest, and has thus entitled
himself to the thanks of the community at large.
We may now congratulate Mr. Commissioner
MIIRPIEY and Mr. FAUN, whose names will ever
remain associated with the bill, on the important
and felicitous result of their agitation, We may
congratulate the people of Ireland, of all shades
and varieties of religious opinion, on this fertile
source of discord—this social nuisance—being for
ever abolished. A flagrant grievance has been
virtually removed, and, if nothing else were
effected, the Session of 1857 would not be alto-
gether unproductive of sound and wholesome le-
gislation.

LATEST NEWS.

INDIA,

GREAT REVOLT OF MOHAMMEDAN

DUBLIN, Friday.—Her Gracious Majesty is expected
at Cork and Killarney in the course of the summer. A
Cork paper states the grounds for the report current in
that city. The course taken by the Royal yacht in her
recent visit to Queenstown and Bantry Bay, and the
soundings she has made, have given rise to the belief
that her Majesty purposes visiting Cork and Killarney
this,,,sumirier. The yacht ran up Bantry Bay and in
between the islands to Glengariff, closely examining the
locality.
BALL AT THE TIRUSH EMBASST.—Last night Madame
Muslin's gave a ball at the Turkish Embassy in Bryan-
ston-square, which was attended by a brilliant circle,
exceeding 500 parsonages of rank, among whom were
some of the leadieg generals and officers who took part
in the late war in the East. All the preparations for the
fete were complete, the rooms being effulgently lighted
and ornamented by beautiful flowers. A sumptuous
supper awaited the company at one o'cicck. Refresh-
ments were supplied in two rooms throughout the night.
It was close on one o'clock when the carriages discon-
tinued to set down company.
THE NEW Blum or QUEEN'S COUNSEL—We under-
stand that contiderable dissatisfaction exists among the
junior equity oar on account of the new batch of
Queen's Counsel being confined exclusively to the cost-
mon law bar. Two or three leading equity juniors are
well known to desire, and to have made application to
the L ird Chtncellor with a view of obtaining, the
honour of silk ; and it is generally thought that were his
lordship to accede to their request, both the profession
and the public would be gainers.
A number of pottery works have been established in
the neighbourhood of Toole, in Dorsetshire, for the
manufacture of fire brick and drain-pipes, and an archi-
tectural pottery has been established at Hamworthy,
near the above-named town, where a more refined and
artistic trade viii be carried on. The plastic clays found
in Branksea Idand are found to be rich in alumina, and
the erection of alum works was contemplated there,
and has only teen delayed in consequence of the embar-
rassments of Colonel Waugh, the owner of that island.
SUICIDE n ARSENlO.—Yesterday Mr. Baker held
an inquest at the London Hospital on the body of Wil-
liam Rush, au'd 40, who, when suffering fr sm delirium
tremens, purclwied a quarter of a pound of arsenic, and
swallowed tie larger portion of it. The arsenic was
bought at theshop of Mr. Meldola, chemist, in Leman-
street, and tee jury appended to their verdict of tempo-
rary insanity their opinion " that the conduct of Mr.
Meldola was aiglaly reprehensible for selling arsenic un-
mix3cl and urtoloured, as required by the act of Parlia-
ment."
THE TEMPR GARDENS.—Mr. S. Broome, the gar.
dener of the Imple Gardens, last year wrote to a con-
temporary shrwing the good effects produced upon the
flowers underbis care by the suppression of the smoke
nuisance. re was, however, told by some to wait
till the preserb year, and then see if the gardens con-
tinued to improve, as it was asserted that last year
was an unpreedented one for foliage all round London.
Mr. Broome denied the statement, and the year 1857
2,000 roves instead of 200—a bhoaassptsroovfecblabvinogto be correct, for at this moment he
circum-
stance not teen in the Temple gardens for years past.
The whole of ;he garden 'Ante, too, are gradually im-
proving in hoilth and vigour—another proof of the
beneficial restits arising from the extinguishment of the
great evil above referred to.
INDUSTMAI Eizarnex AT WARSAW.—The last
Warsaw jourials contain accounts of the Exhibition
of Manufactures now open in that city. It occupies
seven saloons in the Government palace, and proves
produce articles of luxury which are
that manufactures in Poland are in an advanced state,
and that they
highly esteemed in Russia. It also contains beautiful
objects in gold, silver, and other metals from Moscow.
Music being greatly cultivated both at Warsaw and
St. Petersburg, it causes no surprise to see excellent
pianos exhibited-
Warsaw has also contributed speci-

died on Thursday morning at his town residence in
Bryanstone-sluare, having within a few months reached
the extreme age of 96 years. He was the oldest living
baronet of the'Uuited Kingdom. The deceased, who was
created a baronet after the Union in 1801, was son and
testamentary heir of the 17th Lord Deere, whose sur-
name and arms he assumed by sign manual. The late
baronet was twice married—first, in 1787,
to a daughter
of the late Sir J. Aubyn ; and secondly, in 1833, to a
daughter of floe late Sir Walter Stirling, widow of Mr.
Henry Dawkins Milligan. The late Sir Thomas was
a deputy-lieutenant of the county of Essex. He ii
succeeded iu the baronetcy by his grandson Thomas.

cently apprehended. Mr. Simp2on, Field's a Isistant,

Erie, however, the responsibility of the further charge
stated that he must sign the commitment. Mr.
Cameron was thereupon taken by the tipstaff to the
Queen's Prisor. It should be mentioned that the bail re-
quired in the ease of Mr. Cameron is 24,000/.—viz.,
himself in 12,000/., with two securities for 6,0001. each.
