THE MONEY CRISIS.

NECESSITY FOR THE SUSPENSION OF
THE BANK AOT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sm,—With the exception of tue Times (which
paper, all powerful as it is, seems determined to
uphold the Bank Charter at every hazard—even t°,
that of prostrating the entire trade of the Ueiteu.
Kingdom), the Daily News, and your own influen-
tial paper, and other loading journals in Linden,
are beginning to see the necessity of Government
-topping forward to the rescue of the money market
as it did in 1847.
Seeing clearly what was coming, I endeavoured,
on the 13th of Oct. last, toiropress upon the readers
of The Mercantile Journal, the great necessity for
such a step, as it was, and ,is, folly to imagine that
an advance of a few par ccUts. in the rate of discount
will prevent gold leaving the Kingdom, ao.long as
produce can be bought with it abroad 40 or 50 per
cant. under par. Since the lit of Oct., the rise on
discounts has been 4i per cent., equal to an addi-
tional load upon the commerce of the nation of no
less than 20,000,0001. sterling, calculating
600,000,0001. as the average amount of floating
bills of exchange I
Can any mercantile country, however rich in re-
source?, withstand such a crushing influence as
this for any length of time ? and, yer, the Times has
the hardihood to say, in its monetary article of this
day, that "it does not see any necessity for Go-
vernment interference." Sir, I take the liberty of
repeating now what I have said weeks since. Let
the merchants of the nation arouse themselves, and
respectfully call upon the Government w suspend
the Bank Act, pro tempore, ere it is too late. It is
not the restriction to any particular rate .of dis-
count that is now required—it is confidence—coal"
deuce in the merchant being able to obtain cash for
his bona fide bills when he requires it. At present
he cannot have this, as the operations of the Bank
Act, close the pockets of the bankers at the very
moment they are most required to be open, and
consequently they are obliged to refuse discounting
a large proportion of the paper offered to thew/
irrespective of their character. •
At the present moment, there are between sixty
and seventy millions of sovereigns in circulation
throughout the United Kingdom ; a large pro-
portion of` this immense supply is paralysed by the
extinction of notes of small denomination in Eng-
laud—say, of 1/. 2/. and 3/. notes—the use of which
would, as a matter of course, release a correspond-
ing value of gold to the amount of small notes
issued, or nearly so, and thus give an immenee
additional supply to meet the foreign demand. Lit
the Bank of England, and other banks of issue in.
England, be authorised to circulate, say,
20,000,0001. of these small notes, and let Bank 0,
England and Bank of Ireland notes be made leel
tender throughout the United Kingdom, and mone-
tary matters will promptly assume a more satin'
factory position, confidence will be restored, and
we will hear much less opposition in future to the
Banking Act of 1844. If the supporters of thi6
Act will not listen to any corriprombe, no inato.lc
how reasonable, they may expect to.find that thei
whole financial fabric will tumble about their ea°
ere very long.
The amount of bullion at present in the vaults of
the Bank of England is about the same as it 10a
on the 24th
s rapidly October, 1847, when the famous
GrnoTeTrii
elitletter was issued, and the reserve
diwieishing to a dangerous figu'
In such a time as this, promptness of actiou I'f -
quired to save the nation from the consequences u
a fearful monetary panic.

JOURNAL."
