COUNTRY BANKERS.

The following Resolutions were agreed to in the
House of Commons on Tuesday. The Bill founded
on them was read a first time on Wednesday :

1. That all Bankers in England (except within the City
of London and three miles thereof) be permitted to issue
Promissory Notes for payment to the bearer, on demand,
of any sum of money amounting to five pounds or upwards,
and Bills of Exchange expressed to be payable to order, not
more than twenty-one days after the date thereof, and
drawn upon a Banker in London, on unstansped paper, en
the payment of an half-yearly composition, at the rate of
three shillings and sixpence for every one hundred pounds
of the average amount of such promissory notes or bills of
exchange as shall have been issued, or in circulation, within
each preceding half year.
2. That it is the opinion of this Committee, That every
Banker, desirous of drawing and issuing Notes and Bills of
Exchange on unstamped paper, shall take out a license for
the same, and that a Stamp Duty of thirty pounds shall
be paid for every such license.
3. That it is the opinion of this Committee, That the
allowances now granted on the purchase of certain stamps
from the Commissioners, or any distributor of Stamps,
shall cease and determine ; and that in lieu thereof there
shall be made to every person who shall purchase from
the Commissioners of Stamps in London, stamps for re-
ceipts to the amount of five pounds, or from any dis-
tributor to the amount of one pound, an allowance of
seven pounds ten shillings for every one hundred pounds
thereof.

RAPID TRAVELLING.—Those who wish to
make a speedy journey to Birmingham will read the fol-
lowing with interest:—Yesterday the Wonder coach,
which usually leaves London at ahout half-past five in the
morning, arrived in Birmingham at 25 minutes after four
o'clock in the afternoon, performing the journey in one
lutur and forty minutes before time! The time of arrival
is five It:limits after six.—The Independent Tally Ho !
performed a still greater wonder, by arriving in Birming-
ham yesterday afternoon at jive o'clock, more than two
hours and a half before time. It leaves London about
ten minutes before seven o'clock in the morning, and its
regular time is half-past seven in the evening ; it was
heavily loaded inside and out. We should much like to
have the horses at our nest Express.

On Sunday last as the Countess of ERROL
was returning from church, just as her carriage had turned
in upon the north side of Fitzwilliam-square, one of the
horses under her Ladyship's carriage burst a blood-vessel,
and dropped down dead. We are happy to state that her
Ladyship suffered no inconvenience from the fright, as in a
few moments she was enabled to alight from her carriage
and walk home.—Dublin Evening Post.

, IRON TRADE.—The state of tne iron trade
continues very bad. The works are employed, but without
any profit to the proprietors. The demand is very heavy,
though a considerable export trade exists in consequence
of the low price. Pigs have been sold in Wales as low a 6
31. 105. at the works. This is the lowest yet heard of in
this kingdom, and does not certainly remunerate the pro-
prietor. The moment the price advances, much of the ex-
port ceases.—Nurth Wales Chronicle.
On Tuesday morning some inhuman wretches
entered the garden of Mr. EMERY, of Wells, and killed a
them against the wall.—

Sherborne Journal.

In the article of cottons, fine Americans were
in demand at Amsterdam, according to late advices, and
from 6 to 74 were paid at Hamburgh for a parcel of 180
bales.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1828.

It gives us great satisfaction to find that our
opinion as to the folly of introducing Poor Laws
into Ireland, coincides with that of the Duke of
WELLINGTON. Ln a speech of very consider-
able talent, his Grace last night exposed the
absurdity of introducing the greatest curse of
England, with a view of remedying the ills of
Ireland. Would to Heaven that the Noble
Duke's policy towards his native land may he
always distingwished by equal soundness
But differing as we do from that Illustrious
Individual on one fundamental point, we are yet
constrained by the wisdom, the conciliation, and
the disinterestedness which mark his conduct,
again to bear our testimony to his merits, and
to express our decided opinion that, taking stern
facts into consideration, no other personage
in the realm is better disposed, or more
calculated to promote the true interests of the-
nation in the high station which he now occu-
pies. His Administration has already relieved
the Dissenters from their pains and penalties,
and believe it who like, we are convinced that
the Catholics will owe their Emancipation to the
same source. The Duke may retain his opi-
nions, but his opposition will he confined to his
individual vote.

The French Papers of Wednesday say, upon
the authority of letters from Corfu, that the
English line of battle ships, Wellesley, Revenge,
and Ocean, had landed six thousand men at
Corfu, whom they took from Lisbon and Gibral-
tar. That they did land troops there can be no
doubt, but the number is exaggerated by at least
four thousand. The Gazette de France of
Thursday says, that M. DE CALOMARDE is
to be appointed Prime Minister by FERDr-
NAND, but unless he can raise the wind better
than his Royal Master, he is not likely long to
enjoy the honour of directing his Councils.

The French Loan will be made at 4 per cent.,
but it is not expected to take place for these two
months.

The Minerva, from India, has brought over
250,000/. of dollars, and 900,0001. more are ex-
pected in three other ships.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, and Frankfort
Papers of the 25th ult., have been received,
but they contain no news. The Funds at Fran!;-
fort rose in consequence of the rise in Metal-
liques at Vienna.

A private letter from Paris, received this
morning, from a quarter of high authority, says
that a negociation will be opened with the
PORTE immediately, as an express had arrived
at Paris from the French and Russian Ambassa-
dors at Corfu, requirinn, the immediate presence
of Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, as some im-
portant and favourable despatches had been re-
ceived by the Russian Ambassador from St.
Petersburgh. It was also expected that the
Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors would re-
pair to Corfu. The belief was that peace would
be preserved.
If we are to believe the Nuremourg Cor-
respondent, the rise of the Funds at Vienna
is owing to the
.news that the Morea is to be
evacuated by the Egyptian troops. The PACHA
is said to have at length consented to the return of
his son. This concession was considered in
Vienna, as an important step towards the paci-
fication ff the East, arid consequently the
attainment of the objtct of the Treaty of
London.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwELric o'CLocr.

There is a complete dearth of news this morning in the
City, and an absence of any intelligence which can affect
the price of th... British Funds. Console, which opened
at 85k f, the same as they left off, have been buyers, once
or twice in the course of the morning, and are now at the
first rate ; the general tendency of public feeling seems,
however, to be for a trifling decline, and the market is
somewhat heavy, they having been done at Bbk for money ;
the Commissioners gave 85k; upon the whole the busi-
ness which has been doing has been rather unimportant
than otherwise. The premium on Exchequer Bills re-
mains stationary at 64 5 ; India Bonds, 99 100 pm.
The Foreign Securities have been extremely unir,:erest-
ing to-day, and scarcely any transactions have taken place.
Spanish, in consequence of the reports of yesterday in the
French papers, of a loan being effected for that country, in
which a portion of the present Bonds are to be received in
payment at a certain fixed price, have been leoking up,
but the number of times it has been brought forward, and
proved inaccurate, occasions the present report to be looked
upon with suspicion ; Portuguese are 62 k ; Russian, 89 k ;
Brazilian, 60} 1 ; Buenos Ayres Bonds support their pre-
sent price firmly, being 378 ; this security has latterly
been creeping up in the estimation of the public, from the
general opinion which prevails that through the interven-
tion of the British Government, backed by the interest
which both Brazil and Buenos Ayres have in peace, this
desirable event will be finally concluded very shortly.
There is nothing to notice in the Share market.
Three per Cent. Consols, 85k i; Ditto, for the Ae-
eount, 85k *; Three and a half per Cent. Reduced,

Up to the above hour there is no express from France,
or any fresh intelligence arrived. Consols remain quite in
a calm at 85ii ; Spanish, Ilk.

LAW INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAY.)

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
ST. JOHN V. CHAMPNEYS.

An application was made by Mr. SUGDLN for an order
to commit Sir Thomas Champneys, Bart., to the Fleet
Prison for contempt, in not delivering to the receiver the
possessiox of a certain estate, pursuant to an order of the
Court.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR felt that he was bound to make
the order for the committal as prayed, leaving it to the
parties tact on the order as they Might think fit. It was
at the same time referred to the Master to consider the
propriety of accepting the defendant as tenant for the
mansion-house.
