annually, swelled the Calendar at the Oldflai-
ley; while Ott' miSerablei silver imported front
France depreciated the currency 20, per cent. by
the present course of Exchange. l le, could.say,
on the authority of the late Lord Liverpool, and
no better could be bad, that there was no reason
whatever why this country shtudd not have a good
.iilver currency, and as silver was now at the Mint
price, there could be tto difficulty whatever in
effecting it. He would even suggest, that if a
sufficient number of shillings and sixpences could
not be produced, there should be no less than
eighteen-penny silver pieces, in order to drive
from the country the 'illations counterfeits.
,The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER said, the
proper time for. a•general renovation of the stan-
dard silver currency, would be when the gold cur-
rency was also restored. The present was not
the time for such

some temporary remedy, by means of a Bank cir-

to the old standrard of ;the value of a guinea, or
iitivnting some new one. Ile feared, however,
that there would be no possibility of restmtiog the
old gold standard withont some new .effort.

VitlC*4l that his. Royat ilizhticsi Was not aware
that any particular birsiness of this kind pressed

an effort. The Recoider of London, was by
practice the reporter for London and Middleeex,

time after the conelusion of the Sessions, to get
all the ewes together in such a way as to enable
