SHAVING A LUXURY.

PRICE and CO.'s RYPOPHAGON surpasses every soap ever
invented for shaving. One trial will prove that the luxury of a
good shave can be enjoyed only by those who use Price and Co.'s
Rypophagon, which renders shaving (hitherto disagreeable and
often painful) pleasant and easy.

ACCIDENT ON TIRE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—
We have been informed that a serious and fatal accident
occurred on "I hursday morning on this railway. It appears
that two men were engaged working upon the line be-
yond West Drayton, during the intense fog which pre-
vailed around London in the early part of the day.
From this circumstance they did not perceive the ap-
proach of the down train, and although the engineer
blew the whistle, this was not heard. The consequence,
as we are informed, was, that both men were swept from
the line, the train passing on without the conductors
having the slightest knowledge of the accident. On
arriving at Slough, however, the front part of the engine
was discovered to be marked with blood, and on another
engine being sent slowly back towards West Drayton,
the mutilate bodies were discovered. It would appear
that no blame can attach to any one engaged in con-
ducting the train. We give the fact as it has reached
us, without having any further particulars of the ac-
cident.

BANKING IN SCOTLAND.
On Tuesday last a meeting of the county of Edin-
burgh took place, when the following report of a
committee appointed to consider the question of the
currency was brought up : •
" The Committee having considered this important
s u ee
a seht
enacted
uml
during
rt t
neapproved e
ht
haevelast not
o of.t
Failed
session to consider
of Parliament subject in all its bearings, and having modified, and in
some respects altered the proposed resolutions, report
their opinion that the resolutions, as now modified and
t the m, eba;
which no new bank of issue can be established, of which
altered,Then C
measure they highly approve.
" And they would impress on the county to give a
favourable consideration to every measure that may be
proposed for improving the monetary business of the
country by increased security to the public. and adding
to the safety of all the parties concerned, if such be re-
quired.
" But considering that the banking system which has
been so long pursued in Scotland by the issue of small
notes, the granting of cash credits, and the weekly ex-
changes by the banks of all the notes in circulation, has
been most beneficial and, satisfactory to all classes with-
out risk or loss to any---has tended very greatly to the
prosperity and improvement of the country—is now in-
creasing these in a most extraordinary degree, and from
its duration and efficiency, is interwoven with the habits
and transactions of the people, the Committee are of
opinion that a change of that system is quite uncalled
for, and would infallibly produce most injurious conse-
quences,"
Sir JAMES GIBSON CRAIG then moved- a series of
resolutions highly approving of the Scotch system of
banking, and condemning any alteration in that
system.
Lord MEr.vuzE said he was sorry to state that he
was in a predicament that he could not concur in the
whole of the report. There were he admitted, many
points in which he agreed with the report. In com-
mon with the rest of the country, he agreed, for in-
stance, in all that was said about the stability and
success of the system of banking in Scotland, and its
great utility to the country. Therefore, upon this
point he had not one word to say in opposition to the
resolutions. He had difficulties, however, not only
as to other statements in the resolutions, but also as
to what they omitted. With respect, in the first
place, as to what was said about the abolition of the
one pound notes, he was not in the secrets of Govern-
ment, but he had no hesitation in saying that he did
not believe they intended to meddle with that subject;
at all events, he did not think that measure called for.
It was a system which the people were accustomed
with in this country. Gold might be more solid and
preferable on the whole, but so long as the people
preferred this system themselves, he thought that
Parliament would do very .wrong to compel the abo-
lition of one pound notes. He also demurred to the
statements that the system of cash credits depended
upon the issue of one pound notes, and that their abo-
lition would form an impediment to the system of al-
lowing interest on deposits. On the latter point he
referred to the operations of the joint-stock banks in
England. But, as he had said, he also objected to
the omissions in the resolutions—for there were omis-
sions—and one of them a very material one, which
pervaded every set of resolutions he had seen all over
Scotland. The commissioners of supply, town coun-
cils, chambers of commerce—not one of them touched
one most important point in this matter. It was
stated, and stated very truly, that the currency of
Scotland was about three millions of hank notes, two-
thirds of which were small notes. Now, the gold
circulation of England was stated to be about
23,000,0001., which he took to be exclusive of what
was in the bank ; but including that, the gold circu-
lation of England might fairly be stated at about
30,000,0001. Now, although it was not stated in the
resolutions before this meeting, statements had been
made elsewhere which would lead to the conclusion
that notes ought not to be convertible. Again, there
were others who contended, that although notes ought
to be convertible, still, provided.each bank has a total
deposit to answer any demand upon it, this is quite
equal to a gold circulation in this country. In reply
to this, he would remind gentlemen of some very
dangerous periods that had been encountered in Eng-
land, when there was a drain upon the circulation of
the country—a drain upon the Bank of England,
which left it almost empty. Such drains had occurred,
and might occur again. We may have drains
from short harvests—we may have drains from fo-
reign speculations, no matter whether wise or unwise
—people come demanding money, and they will have
it. We may have drains from foreign wars and sub-
sidies, and from various causes, but the greatest
danger is from short harvests. It was the duty of a wise
Government, then, to see that the circulation of this
kingdom was in such a state, that when any emer-
gency shall occur, we shall be able to supply the de-
ficiency caused by the outpouring of the coin of the
kingdom. He wished to know what Scotland was to
de in such a case ? Could she furnish her quota ?
The population of Scotland was estimated at one-
sixth of the population of England; but suppose we
had to send six millions of sovereigns abroad to pur-
chase corn to keep the people from starving, would
Scotland be able to furnish her proportion of that
sum ? Then who would ? Not Scotland, but the
Bank of England and the people of England. It was
said that if we had to keep up a gold circulation it
would occasion an additional expense, which expense
would fall on the banks and ultimately on the coun-
try. This was quite true, this was an important
admission, but if it did not fall upon the people of
Scotland it must fall somewhere—it must fall upon
the people of England. Now this might be all very
well so long as the people of England submitted to it.
But suppose it otherwise, and suppose the people of
this country starving for want of corn, where was the
money to come from which Scotland ought to contri-
bute to purchase corn from abroad ? Was it fair to
ask England to bear this burden for us ? As a native
of North Britain he did not complain of this state of
things, but he did not at all wonder that the British
Legislature and the Bank of England should feel a
little sore about it. Then came another point for
consideration—what should be the remedy for this ?
He repeated that he did not like the idea of abolish-
ing the one pound notes, but he thought another
remedy might be found. He should be sorry to see
the abolition of one pound notes, because that would
be adverse to the feelings of the people, who con-
sidered it more convenient to have small notes instead
of gold, because, if otherwise, they would require a
gold circulation of two millions, in addition to any
little stock in their coffers to carry them on from
time to time. Now, whether Government could de-
vise any measure to provide for this contingency was
snore than he could tell, but we should see. It would
certainly be the duty of Government so to arrange
matters, if possible ; but it was idle for that meeting
to talk of what measures might be in contemplation.
Lord ROSEBERY said he must acknowledge that on
no public question that had ever come before him had
he had less hesitation in arriving at a decision than on
this. He wished, however, to guard himself by an
explanation as to the grounds and reasons upon
which that decision was founded. He entirely
approved of the general substance of the resolu-
tions and report which had been presented to the meet-
ing ; but he did not altogether agree with some of the
details and arguments employed in these documents.
But before stating the grounds upon which his deci-
sion was taken, he wished for a single moment to
advert to the opinion, and the conclusion derived from
that opinion, which had fallen from Lord Melville.
His Noble Friend had stated, with that candour which
always accompanied everything which falls from him,
that, in his judgment, the suppression of one pound
notes in the currency of Scotland would not be expe-
dient, and that it would be undesirable in Govern-
ment or Parlianient to entertain such a question ; but
he proceeded to dwell at some length upon an im-
portant reason—indeed, upon the only great reason
against the resolutions—that it would be just and
necessary for Scotland to have always an amount of
coin, which he estimated at not less than 2,000,0001.,
in order to furnish the just proportion to the neces-
sities of the country in certain contingencies, when
there would be a drais on the bullion, which would
be called for from the kingdom generally. He (Lord
Rosebery) would only observe upon this, which he
was not prepared at present to prove, but what he
held to be an opinion not controvertible by his Noble
Friend, that, in sanctioning these two opinions, he
must contradict himself, for he (Lord Rosebery) held
it as an axiom almost, which former experience had
in a manner proved to demonstration, that if a one-
pound note currency was established in this country,
it was impossible that an amount of bullion equiva-
lent to the sum referred to could co-exist. The Noble
Lord then proceeded to state the grounds upon which
he should give his support to the resolutions and re-
port. He considered the question before the county at
present, and which agitated the whole of Scotland from
one end to the other, was a practical question entirely,
viz., whether the present circulation was suited to
the habits and wants of the people, and whether
it was attended with any injustice, or accompanied
with any danger to the country. ll'hen therefore,
he saw that this country for a long number of years,
had attained a prosperity which she had reached under

great natural disadvantages—when he saw that this
was attributed, almost without contradiction, to the
system of banking in Scotland, and that there was
one inherent point in that system which had been
adhered to with great pertinacity by all classes of the
population, viz., the system of a one pound currency
—when he saw that no-danger was alleged against it,
except that alluded to by his Noble Friend (Lord
Melville), and when he saw that it was the great in-
strument by which the transactions and enterprise of
the country had been long carried on, he must say
he would deprecate the attempt to shake or disturb
a system such as this, with all the beneficial conse-
quences which undoubtedly had attended it for the
last 140 years.—(Hear, hear.) To do so, in his opi-
nion, would be to lead to consequences of a most
mischievous nature —to apprehension, perhaps to
panic, to uncertainty, to want of confidence through-
out the country, and probably to unseen consequences
which it would be impossible to predict the amount
of—(Hear, hear)—and which, if they did occur, it
would be impossible to arrest or control. Uni-
formity, he admitted, was an excellent thing in a
country, if established without counteracting effects
producing evil greater than the benefits arising from
it. In point of fact, instead of any mischief arising
from the one pound note currency, or the state of
the banks, on the very contrary, the confi-
dence and security derived from them had of
late years very much increased, and that in
consequence of many wise regulations on the
part of the banks themselves. The Legislature,
too, by their enactments for several years past, and
still more by the Act of the last session of Parlia-
ment, had insured in England such a vast basis of
metallic currency, that it was sufficient for the wants
of the whole kingdom. It should be recollected, too,
that in that part of the empire the people had been
long accustomed to a metallic currency—never hay-
ing
had a paper currency lower than 51., except from
1797 to the conclusion of the war. That country was
therefore accustomed to that mode of circulation, to
which, by its superior wealth and other reasons, it
was decidedly adapted. Having secured, then, this
large basis of metallic currency, which was sufficient
for the wants of the whole kingdom, combined with
the provisions made last year, and extended to Scot-
land, preventing the establishment of further banks
with respect to a paper currency, he held that every-
thing in the shape of security had been obtained, and
that to tamper with the currency upon its original
principles was highly dangerous in these times, until
a practical evil was adduced and a practical remedy
applied.
Lord DUNFERMLINE said he appeared there that
day to take a part in their proceedings, because it
might be thought he was shrinking from his duty, if
he failed upon an occasion when the opinions he en-
tertained appeared unpopular in Scotland to stand
forward and re-assert them. The principles which
he was now about to explain were those upon which
he had uniformly acted, and to which he now adhered
with increased confidence. It was impossible for him
to concur in the resolutions now brought forward;
and if the meeting would permit him, he would
also, while he stated the reasons which pre-
vented him from concurring, state the grounds
upon which he very seriously doubted the prudence
or the policy of the course which it was pro- ,
posed to pursue, and which had been pursued by so
many of the counties of Scotland. Now, just let us
come (said his Lordship) to the real pith and sub-
stance of this question about the issue of one pound
notes ; and let us see what is Sir Robert Peel's posi-
tion in regard to the question. You are all aware
that in 1826 it was found necessary, on the principle
that a one pound note and a sovereign cannot co-
exist, to put an end to small notes in England.
Scotland at that time made a vigorous resistance to
the attempt to apply the same measure there, and a
great shout was raised against it by the people of
this country, and they at length succeeded. A Par-
liamentary Committee was appointed, the Committee
met and heard certain evidence, and came to a cer-
tain conclusion, and that conclusion was ultimately
sanctioned by Government. With regard to that
Committee I shall not say one word, except that those
gentlemen had a good deal to say for themselves
who said that if England had been allowed to pro-
duce her case as Scotland had produced hers, and
examined witnesses, the Committee would have come
to the same conclusion with regard to England as
they had done with regard to Scotland ; and that,
in point of fact, small notes would not have been
suppressed in England. Well, it appears from
what was stated to the Committee, that they came to
the conclusion that small notes should not be sup-
pressed in Scotland. Now, what was the course
which Sir Robert:Peel took, from whom you appre-
hend so much danger ? He said—" I agree upon
general reasons that small notes ought to be sup-
pressed in Scotland as well as in England ; but I am
willing to make another experiment, to ascertain how
far it is safe, practically, to allow the issue of small
notes in Scotland, having suppressed them in Eng-
land." That is the position in which Sir Robert
Peel now stands. I should say, in fairness, however,
that I did not concur with Sir Robert Peel in
that opinion. I did not think it enough to say that
general reasons required small notes suppressed in
Scotland as well as in England. I thought there
was more:than general reasoning in it, and that was
the two important ingredients of good faith and jus-
tice. I thought so, because, being a member of the
Bullion Committee of 1810, and of the second
Committee of 1818, I concurred in a measure for
the resumption of cash payments in England, being
quite aware at the time that taking so strong a mea-
sure was the only means of extricating the country
from the extensive embarrassments occasioned by the
orders in council in 1797. I knew that this could
not be done without inflicting a severe pressure upon
the whole of the country; but I felt bound in the fair,
and just, and honourable performance of my duty,
to lay the burden upon all parts of the country
equally. But when Parliament decided not to do so,
I felt personally very glad that Scotland was to
receive so great a boon from England, and resolved
never to open my mouth on the subject again, unless
I should feel myself compelled by a sense of duty
to do so. I had thought, however, till this moment,
that it was decorous and prudent, on the part of "the
people of Scotland, to hold their peace, and enjoy The
boon in quietness, because that it is a great boon 'it is
impossible to deny. For what is it ? The LegisLa-
tare were of opinion, and justly of opinion, that in
order to maintain a proper standard of value, there
should be a metallic currency, although this could not
be imposed without throwing a great burden some-
where ; and until this present time the whole of the
burden has been thrown upon the people of England.
They pay every shilling of the expense of maintaining
a metallic currency, while Scotland benefits by the
stability of this standard, maintained at the exclusive
cost of England. That is the plain, naked truth.
Well, but Sir Robert Peel said he would abide by the
result of his experiment. Now, what has been the
result ? Has the currency been excessive during the
eighteen years that have elapsed ? I have had no
opportunity of inquiring, and do not know the feet,
but, if it had been so, the excess would speedily be
detected in the transaction of your ordinary business.
Go to Sir Robert Peel then, and tell him that the
experiment has been in favour of Scotland—that the.
system had stood the test which he himself selected,
and that there is no ground to interfere with till:
system. Therefore, so far from concurring in thf 3
opinion that there is any cause of danger to the peoplie
of Scotland from Sir Robert Peel, in point of fr,t,t
and of consistency, Sir Robert Peel is of all persons -in
the world most bound by the result of this expeal-
ment. But this is not the whole case ; because I-4e is
not the only person of whom you have cause t be
afraid. Are you not afraid that in starring
this question the people of England may ask
what do these proceedings indicate ? Do they in.
dicate fear or strength ? And in looking for an'
answer to this question, are you not afraid that they
may find out that the whole of the expense of the
metallic currency is borne by England, while Scot-
land equally shares in the benefit., and may demand
the suppression of your small notes as well as theirs.'?
For myself, I have been strongly impressed with Lb,.
conviction that, in creating all this clamour, you an
only drawing the attention of England to your
Scotch currency, and taking the very measure which
is most likely to promote the danger you wish to avoid. .
Sir JAMES GlnsoN CRAIG said that the resolutions
were in no degree inconsistent with the different .;
points alluded to by Lord Melville. On the contrary ,
the resolutions expressly state that their supporter s
are willing to consider any proposition which has fo r
its object to add greater security to the presen t
system. His Noble Eriend (Lord Dunfermline )
went further than Lord Melville, for he would d o
away with small notes altogether, as inconsistent wit
the resolutions of the Bullion Committee, of which
was a member. Of the resolutions of this 13u1' cion
Committee, he (Sir James) would only say that ' hey
were attended with a degree of mischief which he h aped
never again to see in this country, and thati nore
people were ruined by them than by any mar 'sure
that was ever brought before Parliament. With re gerd
