DittEcrotts of the BANK of ENGLAND.
"ENTLEMEN-Ilaving succeeded, greatly to
the
heartfelt, satisfaction, by representations to
tite Higher Powers, in obtaining the comnntta-
:}l4 of Transportation for some of those persons
to hate been left for execution, lam much
t Urcerned to observe, from the Recorder's. Report
Ilis Majesty in Council on Thursday, that four
Lone-,
ut which is a female) out of the eight unfor-
Tuate persons, who are ordered for execution on
puesdaY next, were condemned for uttering
Crged Bank of England Notjs. I believe these
fe unprecedented numberS executed at one
ree" in London for some years ; it being highly
_ditable to His Majesty's Government, both
tuiuring the Regency, and the present reign, that
Ile executions at the Old Bailey have lteefi com-
Paratively few ; for I have read of twenty-three
abraan beings having been hung there at one time,
"t the middle of the late reign, possibly, ra-
ther earlier. Now, Gentlemen, what lam de-
Quifrous to impress on your minds is, the necessity
issuing,' with as little delay as possible, the
tilewl Bank Notes, of which I have heard so
duch, and which. ,I understand will, in a great
uegree, obviate the Forgeries committed on the
.0:111k of England, being. really of opinion, that
e Public are entitled to an explanation of the
Feat , delay therein, which possibly, and proba-
-u ? Isnavoidable.

re
idea of reproach to (4-eutlemen of your very high

3e HARCOURT LEES, Bart. has been solicited by
,-,l`,_rai of the most distinguishedcharacters in the
nt-re, to publish the whole of his popular works
tt,e,w° volumes, distinguishing the religious from
thi Political subjects. The interest created by
3. gentleman's numerous writings throughout
ttiat: Britain, as well as Ireland, has. been, we
4s 'eve, unprecedented ;, sound in his principles
di a SOPpOrter of the established Church, a vin-
}4ator of the dignity of the Crown, and VoLd in
ahjavowal of those principles, he has astonished
ePnifpunded the ,adversaries of both. Pro-
tr.etung as Sir HARCOURT LEES steadily is in this
dIY useful and honourable career, we anticipate
th
ole happiest effects from his great literary talents,
illeaftline when the Press—that powerful instru-
