SILVER CURRENCY.

There` is this ;lay in bondon an almost total
stagriation- of "Retail Trade, .By /some .alminst
simultaneous understanding, come to, it is impos
sil►le to say how, not. only is the French Coinage
rejected in Circulation, but English Money, in
Sixpences and Shillings, is ahw,st generally re-
fused.

What ground there can be for this embar-
rassing proceeding we are utterly at a loss to CCM-
jvcture. The new oinage will not be out for
three months to supply Currency, and when it
does appear the very pieces now so unteasonahlry
refustqlwill• be taken: by the Mint in-tale, piece

for piece, in exehunge. Aware of this fact;
which stamps the full• value upon the iireSent cir-
culating tned.lutn, there.' is hot a Banker's Home'
in Londuir.which does not receive it. Of course,
Tradesiehen who have Bank Accounts can bait 716
catisa 'to refuse the Silvc: which their Bitikeri
take frOm them, and the Loner Class ;of 'irtialerS
can experience no difficulty in poyirrg the same
coin- to their wholesale furnishers, who have no
diflieitity in pheing its amount tipon their Bankers
ban'k's'.— From the. Bankers it is passed to the
Thiiik'Orlitighind; Where it is softed antt absorbed.

‘Ve hope, 'that as there is nu good foundatiOn
for Oil wischievouiressationof con6dcnee, the
public will not be induced -voluntarily to distress
itsdi, by paralyzing the otil.y.ineans through which

the business cat life can fur the present be carried
on, Should this evil continue for even at:
honrs, we tremble for the consequence, On
Saturday night the labouring people and me.,
chanics have the necessaries to purchase for
themselves and families, ;,Ind any extensive
relnsal of the money they hring to tnalltet may'
produce great confusion. We' feel 'satisfied that
Government Is aware of this fact, and thit pro.
per' steps will he_ taken to ritiit)re

public confidence, procure a teal curvency to our
only Cimictit :'Change, and punish any i)ersotis
whoinay :Iggi4iote the existing evil, by wantonly
creating- an unnectisary stopplgeuf Cut of thc
Reattn. !'•
