SERVATIONS ON THE SPEECH
WILLIAMS UN THE CURRENCY
BILL.
s 7'o THE EDITOR OF TILE N. E SUN.
Mr. Williams's speech occupies by far the largest
e"'• (,f the debate on Monday evening, and as every sen-
Err:-e contains error in statement, or principle, and those
HoV are evidently adopted by the great majority of the
ot• I intrude on your columns to point out the mis-
ae,._,
te. ids mistakes to which the Hon. Gentleman gave ut-
,ance:__
tano He asserts " That the excessive circulation of the
Nt' of England paper had encouraged speculation."
ort°‘; it is clear, that Mr. W. imagines (from the vast im-
j4lice he attachesl to its operation) that the Bank of Eng-
'irculation constitutes a preponderating portion of our
tot-
T circulation.
tun admits that our trading transactions are far greater
ti„ ri,hos,,. of France, yet he does not discover that specula-
tf;ell Ls carried to too great an extent in that country, though
the !irrency of France amounts to one hudred millions, and
silanl: notes have not averaged twenty -five
dr ;emi/jr. Ile complains that while ranee has one hun-
tb' Millions of gold and silver, we, requiring more, have only
The obvious inference is, that we ought, in his
►til(nl, to import and pay for the difference, seventy millions
at ea'-' ! Ile then treats us with the monstrous absurdities
h
farad Hardcastle and Mr. Homer, and their stuff about
le,:recte.tion."
-tlae truth is, that our paper circulation never was, never
fbe, depreciated in any degree—the idea arosQ from con-
t a terms. Gold was much wanted for payment of
orf and rose in price ; and our ingenious theorists, instead
,r,lBaying that "gold had risen," said .6 paper bad fallen 1 '
ol'areY, might as well have said that paper had fallen, because
Lt or burgundy, from a short harvest, had risen in price,
(lthat my .son Henry had fallen or shrunk in stature, because
11;yrother Leopold had grown three inches taller during the
lq Year
illiams refers to the panic of 1825 (like the illus-
tfi°4B Attila), but cannot perceive that the country was then
LIN 'ed from convulsion by the enormous issues of Bank of
I,,,giand paper between the 10th and 20th of December, and
,Iclr :`es in favour of a Bill which will render any repetition of
saving process impossible.
well might the old writer say that " those whom Jupiter
8 determined to destroy he first deprives of reason."

BANKRUPTCY.—(T HIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQuE.)
LORD HUNTINGTOWER. _ _

The Court was, at two o'clock this day, crowded with
a curious auditory, on tiptoe to hear a continuation of
the singular distelolur. s which were giv..n to the world
on the previous examinations. They were d,omed,
however, to disappinlment, for on the noble bnakrupt's
name having been called,
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, his solicitor, said that he had
had a comdumicatioa fcom his Lordship a very short
time ago, a;-td, from the tenor of that communication, he
might say with e:rtainty that his Lordship a ould not
appear in Court that day. Mr. Lewis here wished to
hand in the-note he had reerred to; but
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he could re-
ceive no private communication, as such, in Court.
Mr. Lewis said that his object was merely to show
that they were not in fault, for the non-appearance of
his Lord,hip. lie might appeal fur corroboration of
that to his Learned Friend James.
Mr. Edwin James said that Mr. Lewis had to do with
a versatile client, and he did not, from aq he could un-
derstand of the eircumstance,, think that Mr. Lewis
could have foreieen the intention of his Lordship to set
at nought the forms of the Court.
Mr. Lewis prayed that the hearing of the case might
be adjourne I to a future day, and that the protection of
the Court might still be extended to his Lordship.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he should not ex-
tend the bankrupt's protection for a single hour until he
should surrender himself. The protass of that Court
should not be played with if he could help it-.
The further hearing of the case was adjourned till the
4th of .July, to give Mr. Lewis an opportunity of com-
municating with his Lordship.
