I:3lravts from the Morning Poperff,Feb. 17, 1826.

(MOPINING POST.I
The important arrangement between his Ma-
jesty's Government and the Bank to relieve the
general distress of the commercial world, has, we
are happy to say, been concluded, and the pub-
lic have already begun to feel its beneficial re-
sults. ft has secured an immediate issue of two
millions, appliCd by the Banks to the purchase
of outstanding Exchequer Bills ; and for the
repayment of these two millions, a provision is to
be proposed to Parliament in the course of the
present Session. So large on issue will at once
supply the abundance of circulating medium re-
quired for the fair purposes of business and trade;
public credit and confidence, will be restored,

cud the elasticity of commercial enterprise will
revive, The Earl of Liverpool gave the outlines
of this arranger►ent last night in the House of
Lords i►► reply to a question from the Marquis of
Lensdown. At present the amount of the relief
procutied is limited to two millions, but should
Parliament consider it necessary to extend the
assistance further, that object may be attained
when the mode of repaying the Hank shall he
discussed. The business in the Commons was

chiefly on the subject of Ireland. Sir J. New-
port complained that the Bill passed by that
House last year to correct the abuses of the mode
in which Parish and Church Rates were collected
in Ireland, had been stripped of all its efficient
clauses by the Upper Branch of the Legislature,
and had, in fact, been rendered rather an
injurious that gt beneficial measure. Ile there.
fore proposed a Resolution declaring, " That
from detailed returns which has been laid on
the table of the House, it appeared th;►t large
sums of money were levied on account of Church
Rates which were not warranted, and that salaries
were granted thereout to PariAi Officers, con-
trary to and prohibited by Statute regulation."
A long debate ensued. but Mr. Secretary Goul
burn having admitted tim existence of the evil,
and expressed his intention to introduce a Bill,
for the consolidation of all the Laws respectin4
Church Rates and the formation of Vestries in
Ireland, the Resolution was negatived without a
division, when the Bight lion. Gentleman asked
and obtained leave to bring in such a Bill as he
had described.

C NEW T131E9.1
In the House of Lords last night, in a conver,
nation between the Right lion. the Earl of Liver-
pool, the Earl,of Lauderdnlerand the Marquis Of
Lansdown--the whole of these Noblemen de-
clared their intention of enterifig very fully into
the principle and bearings of the Bank Charter
Amendment Bill, which is to- be read a second
time this evening. We may therefore-look forward
ton very interesting debate. Ln the Commons, Sir
J. Newport brought forward his .resolutiou
specting parish rates in trelaud. The [ion. Hart.
went over the same ground as he did last year on
the introduction of ilid hill on' the Same snbject.
Mr. Gout bu rasta t ed, that belied a Bill to the 014
of remedying the principal abuse complefited of
ready to bring into the Muse, ho gave, at the
same time, n Statement of the iiiteotions of his
Majesty's Government with respect to. feelnudoi.
OW to that given by the Earl of Itive.rpool on
the 10th inst. After considerable discussion, Sir
John limited his motion to placing the Resolu—
tion on the Journals, which was agreed to with.
out opposition. Mr. S. nice brought forward Isis'
motion for an humble address to his Majesty;i
praying for in inquiry into the tolls and customs
at fairs, &c. Ireland. The motion was resisted
by Mr. Goulburn, on the ground that the
ordi-
nary Law Courts were sufficient to protect' the
m Comunity against exaction. lie consented,liow•
ever, to a Conunittee above stairs to evunina the
papers on the table, on the-understanding that
they were to 'confine their inquiries to the laws,.
with a view to it remedy, for the abuse complained
of. Mr. Rice then withdrew his motion, and
elated,. that he would tn-morrow (this day), give
notice' of g. motion, agreeable to Mr. Goulbern'S
proposition.

[THE TIM es.]
A cairn succeeded yesterday to the convuliion
of the preceding day, anti though confidence can.
not he said to be restored, public feeling became
in a more tranquil State from the abgettee of any
new misfortune. Inquiries are anxiously made
in every quarter respecting the situation of the
affairs of the important firm whose failure we
mentioned yesterday, with tile view to ascertain
the probability of their rectimutencing business,
but nothing transpired on the subject. The ar-
rangements for tie Mexican and the Portuguese
dividends are; we believe, already completed ;
but no new agent has yet been fixed on for those
of the Colombian loan. There was, however, a
general advance yesterday in the value of the
securities of these cc/unities, owing to the very
low price to which they have fallen, which
at once invites investment and precludes
their being sold by real hobleis at so, great a
sacrifice as mug. now be mud,. Purchases of
Exchequer Bilis are contimwil bv the Bank as
far as the staj e of the Markel will permit, which
dues not appear to biA 1/4titli them to arty
great extent, and the holders are not in all cases
disposed to part with athem at the limit fixed 14
the. Bank, whic4 is par. Great doubts, there,
fore, begin to 14entertained whether any mate-
riot addition to the circulation can he I•treetetl
through this modium. The same remark will op-
ply to the discounts, for though the accommoda-
tion by the Bank was most liberally afforded yes-
terday upon good bilk, yet the applications in
that way were contparAtively few, RS Ilmy mer-
chants, through want of, confidence, decline
for a time all transactions of that nature. Thus,
unless new bills can he created of a valid nature
of course the Bunk can discount oone but such
--the rehire:cement to the circulation by this
mode will be as much circumscribed as that in-
troduced by purchases of Exchequer Bills. l'he
supply of money having in the first instance found
ststiriatto the Stock Exchange, has been fol-
,

Towed by a greater steadiness hi the price of
stock, though there is still considerable auctua-
lions there. .Bank Stock has advanced 8 per cent.
India Bonds continue at a discount. Accounts
received yesterday from, Manchester stale, that
tl►ere has been a run on . the. deposit banks of
that town, but owing apparently more to a want
of money than any distrust of their solidity. The
want of money is so great in Manchester, that
large orders from Germany for twist have been
refused through inability on that account to exe.
cute them. Leeds is in the same state in this
respect as Manchester, and some of the manu-
facturers are represented to be entirely at a stand,
as the owners receive bills only in payment for
their goods, which bills they are unable in the
present state of credit to convert into money.
There has been a heavy run also upon the West-
morland Banks. Upwards of 30 gentlemen in the
neighbourhood of Kendal have signed a paper,
stating that they will guarantee the notes and
draughts of the Kendal Bank, Messrs. ‘Vilson,
Crewdson, and Co., a house which bears a re-
spectable character ; but such was the alarm
created among the poor people, that without
taking the trouble of n,scertuitiing their solvency,
they were selling their notes at a discount.

t MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The failure of the firm of Goldschmidt and Co.
seems to be considered as the climax of commer-
cial difficulty ; and as this calamity has been
anticipated for some time back, now that the
event has happened, it is the opinion of many
intelligent merchants that things will take a turn,
and that the distrust which has So generally pre-
vailed will gradually subside. We understand that
every assistance was tendered to the house in ques-
tion, but that the firm felt themselves involved in
so much difficulty as to render any temporary aid
of little avail. The utmost exertions are making to
place their affairs in such a position as to he fit to
submit to their principal creditors; but until this
is effected, no judgment can be formed as to the
extent of their liabilities. The measure recom-
mended, by his Majesty's Ministers, and adopted
by the. Beta or Englundrof purchasing such Ex-
chequer Bills as were in the market at a discount,
continues to operate favourably, and yesterday
had the effect of raising the prices of all the Mo-
ney Stocks about 1 per cent. In factrthere were
more Built than Bears ;, and although the pur-
chases. were not extensive, still it was pretty ob-
vious that confidence had been restored, and that
the anticipated harvest of those w Ito had been hold-
big back for a further red uction,must be reaped now
or never. It Is expected that this•improvement
Will lie
.progressive ; and should the Bank of
England extend their discounts More liberally
than they have done for the last few weeks, and
the private bankers, as no doubt they will, follow
their example, mild' will be done towards re-
lieving the present alarming crisis. It is well
known, in fact, that for a good deal of the panic
which has had so mischievous an influence on the
credit of the Metropolis, no real fonodation
existed ; and perhaps a little cool reflection will
show, that the encouragement of despondency Is
calculated only to increase the catalogue of evils.,
which may otherwise be altogether avoided.

srm toeo nr.am.n.]
We are glad that the Ministers fire so firm in
their determination to let the commercial inte-
rests take care of themselves. If people will give
one shilling a pound for cotton, under (he specu-
lative hope that it will bring them two, so that
they shall realize fortunes in a short time, with-
out labour, let them take the consequences; sup-
pose they shoold he mistaken in their views of en
inordinate gain. The mercantile interest is too
specuintive—too fond of getting its goods out of
sight, by sending thent to foreign Countries,---
u reading the late debates, we could
Cot but smile at much that was said,—
that' if Ministers did not assist the mer-
cantile ietere,t,. that it, as . well as the ma-
nufacturing,. and- ell the other interests, would
be destroyed.. At if,. while there are men, wo.:
men, and. children who must be fed, clothed,
housed, to td entertained,. trade Can be destroyed.
The Gentlernan•whosaid most was Mr. If eygate.
Now Mr. Ifeyguter if he be married and have
children, must know that the moment a child is
born, that moment it calls forth into exertion nil
the interests of the empire. Mr. Heygate must
know that there is the medical interest to bring
it into the world--the nursing interest to nurse
it—the agricultural interest to supply it with
pap. There is till' bed on which it is
born, in the furnishing. of %%high there is
the linen-manufacturing interests of Ireland
and Scotland brought into uction—the woollen
interests exemplified in the blankets—the cot-
ton interests in the curtains. .Thu child cries
till the mother4tops its mouth ; it soon exhausts
the mother ; Mr. Reygite's feelingtare appealed
to; his feelings call into action all the colonial
and other interests of all the world ; or, if he
should venture to be apathetic be knowns that he
will have no kind looks, end no sleep, because
of the complainings of the mother and the cries
of the ,child. Itr fact, the infant may be called
the, unproductive cause for all the productive
interests of the empire being brought into profit-
able employment.

REPBESENTATIve.I
Those even who most sincerely commiserate
the difficulties which press upon the commercial
world, will, we think, admit upon reflection, that
die Government has judged wisely in Hot stepping
forward at the present crisis with any direct as.
sistance. In deciding upon subjects which affect
the interests Of a body so numerous 01 the com-
mercial classes of this country, the advisers of the
Crown must be frequently placed in u very mbar-
rarsing situation : they must find it extremely dill-
cult to distinguish the real expression of public opi-
nion from the language of prejudiceor the pressing
clamour of individual interest. On the one hand,
they ate goaded en by their own sympathy for the
dift-ress which surrounds them ; whil,t they are
withheld on tbe other by
f.IIX.OLIS fear lest their
direct interference shooltl in the end aggravate
the' evils which they wisb to remove. In this
dilemma they have cuuented to lend the Bunk

two millions its Exchequer Bills; this will enable
that establishment to enlarge the amount and in-
crease the facility or its discounts ; and thus af-
ford material relief to the mercantile classes in
their present embarrassments. This measure will,
at least to a certain extent, alleviate the additional
difficulty which the fulfilment of engagements be-
coming due next month will probably produce.
And we are also convinced that this indirect
interference of Government will further operate
beneficially its restoring confidence among the
classes upon whom the suffering has principally
fallen. In the present state of mercantile affairs
the public voice called for assistance; and public
confidence left to Government the selection of
the mode in which it should be administered.—

The plan which is to be acted upon, of affording
this assistance indirectly through the medium of
the Bank, will, we are sure, yield very general
satisfaction : it will prove that attachment to first

winciples will, on urgent occasions, give way to
he pressing claims of temporary distress.

[BRITISH PREM.!
The large purchase of Exchequer Bills by the
Bank has already had the effect of reviving pub.
lie confidence, and will no doubt contribute con-
siderably to the relief of the existing difficulties
of the money market.—The Times cannot at all
relish any arrangement which tends to restore the
current of the almost stagnant credit of the coun-
try. This Jiltetlialist is compelled to admit that
owing to this measure, Exchequer Bilis, which
had been at a considerable discount, have risen
to par; but he follows up this admission with
remarking, that " it should seem, at first sight,
that the public can have no objection to the
Bank's employing its funds in any way it
may think proper, and we are most glad that
it can so employ them as to alleviate the pub.
lie distress." He accompanies his rejoicing, how-
ever, by way of drawback, with the following
sage admonition : "The Bunk, however, will be
pleased to observe this moral maxim in the dis-
tribution of its aid—that it is not sufficient to
secure itself and its proprietors against the chance
of future loss, but that it likewise do not impart
a fictitious credit to those whom it relieves ;
otherwise it may hold up one for a time, and
throw down ten 'in the long run.'" We think
the discretion of the Bank Directors may well be
trusted in affording the requisite relief, and that
they are quite adequate to management of their
own concerns, without the advice of any self-con-
ceited tutor from Printing-house-square. As to
their imparting " a ficticious credit" to any mer-
chuntwhoseimmediateexigencies they may relieve,
it is.a jargon that has no real cleaning. The relief
afforded is, fur as it extends, substantial ; it con-
fers I1‘) " fictitious credit ;" and so far from its
being likely, " by 'holding up one for a tune, to
throw down ten," the result would be exactly the
reverse ; for by enabling one to surmount the
difficulties of the moment, ten might be eventually
upheld, who otherwise would have been involved

in ruin. " The, Bank," this writer goes on to
say,'' may receive a good bill, and may discount
; but it cannot calculate so easily the mischief
which the flash and ostentation of the mone7,
thus emitted from its stores, may produce
the hands of him to whom it is consigned ; even
scores may be deceived by It. We have heard
strange stories on this head, of houses, which ore
now gone 4 to the family vault of the Capulets ;'
and our caution results from the experience of
others, rather than our own Providence." A
curious picture this of a London merchant, who,
because forsooth he has got a good bill discount-
ed, is represented as running about, cud occa-
sioning a mischief almost incalculable, by " the
flash and ostentation of the money !" How
"scores may be deceived" by this insane display,
supposing so ridiculous a scene possible, we are
utterly at a loss to comprehend. It would be
really difficult to conceive how any public jour-
nal, in these grave times, and on so grave a sub-
ject, could venture to put such trash before the
public, if we did not know how common a thing
it is, when a porty•writer has exhausted the re-
sources of his malignity, that he will write non-
sense, purely from the want of any other fund to
draw upon. `

Nat ',verde Ls:mare:l
Last night we. received Hamburg)! Papers to
,the 16th, Dutch to the 15th, and Brussels to the
same date. We also received the St. Peters-
burgh Journal to the Ist instant. The accounts
in the Ilamburgh Papers from the Russian capital
come down only to the 27th ult., and they merely
state, as a report, that the present Governor-Ge-
neral of the Military Colonies is about to re-
tire, and that Adjutant-General Wassaltschikoff
is spoken of as his successor. It is also re-
ported, that the present Minister of War is
About to resign, and to be succeeded by General
Sakresky,
Governor of Finland. The St. Pe-
tersburgh Journal makes no mention of these
reported chagrin; hut it contains a rescript of
the ,nmperor, to Lieutenant-General Roth,
thaoking that officer for having put down the
mutiny in the Regiment of Tschernigof, and ap.
pointing hint u Knight of one of his Orders,
It also contains the following commercial infor-
mation :—The course of exchange has fallen, be-

their natural order. Our goods will be again

JAMAICA.

(From the Jamaica Public Advertiser, Jan. 2.)

What will be the consequences of the operation
of the warehousing bill, to this city, can only be
determined by experience. We trust that it will
return to Kingston a portion of that trade which
once enriched its merchants and that it will fulfill
the expectations of those who framed it, as they
state, for the peculiar benefit of the Colonies.
The following resolutions of the Kingston mer-
chants have hitherto escaped our observation.
Their obvious tendency is clearly evinced. The
benefit of putting an end to a lax system of busi-
ness is not more beneficial than its necessary effect
of main a decrease of litigation and ultimately
(if extended to retailers) preventing those exten-
sive fraudulent insolvencies which repeatedly
occur. The nature of a man's credit would soon
be ascertained by. the value of his acceptances ;
his punctuality or the want of it, would be note-
rious and therefore no gross insolvent frauds could
be perpetrated. We publish these resolutions
for the information of our readers at home, as
follows :
" The approaching operation of a more extended commercial
system, and the close connexion into which this must of ne-
cessity bring the mercantile interests of Kingston, with those
of other and more enlarged communities, render it indispen.
able that the present irregular mode of meeting engagements,
should be superseded by a more strict attention to their fulfil.
went and a better defined system of credits.
" The primary step towards the attainment of this object,
appears to be to follow the example of other markets in re•
quiring an acceptance from every purchaser at the time of sale,
and payable at the expiration of the term of credit, with dis.
counts for cash, at the rate of two and a half per cent, for 3
months.

" Among the advantages to be contemplated from such a
measure are—tin effectual bar to litigation in the recovery of
debts by process at law, and the facilities which would be
afforded of arranging► accounts through the means of such ac-
ceptance, which might be made to form in many instances a
convenient and actual circulating medium."
