THE NEW CURRENCY BILL.
rom the Morning Post of yesterday.)
etc.n..ue New Currency Bill.is virtually carried ; and the
'mental scale of prices has been recognised as the
of prices best fitted for the meridian England.
Sir Robert Peel's currency scheme is,
confessedly,
rowed wholesale from Mr. Jones Loyd, one of the
pant of the -advocates of free trade in corn—
gh, as Mr. Gisborne slily remarked,ot n a free-
t'a thderou free-
in his own business of banking. Mr. Charles
idler, indeed, complimented the Minister on having
'3/4uepted.the doctrine f the " Political Economy Club"
basis . s o
_,"iee of his legislative measures, and expressed a
Zthlt a repeal of the corn-laws (as to the expediency
, which all the members of the " Club" in question
r-e agreed) might be the ni•xt of the Right Hun. Ba-
s reforms.
,ri'l‘tr• Charles Buller's wish might have been spared.
h'eel's
corn-laws are, in effect, abolished by. Sir Robert
keeears new currency measure. Under the action of that
sure prices in England must be forced down to the
t%i--tietinee'tal level. The corn-laws mush therefore, in all
tsue Come, prove inoperative. Their specific repeal

traderbe thought necessary by even the most
it.
ItThe Ministerial measure was opposed, last night, by
by jlawe,;. by Mr. •Ilastie, by Mr. Charles Buller, and
4,inr• Gisborne,--all of them unflinching free traders,
ti staunch supporters of the principles of the money
40,w. of 1819. Yet even those honourable gentlemen
i'_4llnli from a movement so startling as that which is
turveolved in the Bank Charter project. The fears there-
which Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Wodehouse, and Col.
itot"p expressed as to the effect of the measure on the
qustr of the country may fairly be assumed to be not
without' cause.
4,Pbl ail the triumphs which, under the auspices of Sir
ert Peel, the free traders have achieved, this on the
FellNrren
eY question is, beyond comparison, the greatest.
'night Mr. Muntz exclaim, that he could under-
ahh`onui why the free-traders "on his side of the House
riienti'd support the Minister, but how country gentle-
sh,,:,whe are attached to the corn-laws and high prices,
support him, did, as the Hon. Member for Bir-
i'arri admitted, surpass his comprehension.
e shall hereafter carefully analyse the speeches de-
ed on the occasion. At present we have only space
co attnounce the utter abandonment by the House of
17Ureons of the last remnants of the policy of protection
