We would once more beseech the eulogists of the
Bank to abstain 'tom unseasonable and misdirected
praises. Why will they persist in marling a good
cause by a bad argument? That great plladium of
our national credit is in perfect safety—not a speck is
there on the smooth polish of its surface, and its virtue
will continue in full vigour, if its ill judging friends
would only let it alone. But no—The Courier says,
yesterday,
s We are assured, upon good authority, that the Bank last night
could not furnish, in exchange for large notes, fifteen thousand
pounds, either in one, five, or ten pound notes, and that they re-
quested as (spasms. City Might not be asiedfor sovereigns."
What ! The Governor and Company of the Bank of
England request, as a favour, that they may not be
asked to make payment of their notes, and those notes
purporting on the face of them to be payable on
demand !

" Call you this hacking your friends ?
" A plague of such back ing !"

The thing itself is merely ridiculous ;—but the men-
tion of it is calculated to ala'm silly women and timid
old men, as well as to lower the character of the coun-
try in the eyes of foreigners.
Happily the storm has passed by. Confidence is le-
turning, and the reflux of money into its ordinary chan-
nels is likely to be as rapid as the recent ebb tide which
swept it away.
The increase of the interest on Exchequer Bills has
been followed up by a still greater augmentation of the
interest on outstanding India Bonds. In consequence,
fended property has rallied, and the market price of
Stock looks steadily upwards, There is, in all human
probability, the strongest reason to conclude, that Con-
sols, before the middle of January, will be close on
the verge of 83. which we have all along pronounced to
be emir natural money price in time of peace, provided
always that they are uninfluenced by stock-jobbing
speculations.
One effect of the late alarms is, however, still ope-
rating in a way which every friend to the poor must
greatly regret, and to counteract which it is the duty of
the more enlightened -part of the community to oppose
every reasonable explanation. A considerable “ nos

has only very recently commenced upon the Savings
Banks throughout the country, and even in London,
doubtless from the ignorance of the poor people, who
fancy that the name of le Bank" implies, that

_.;..-.~

these institutions also partake of the same datiger
to which the ordinary Banking Establishments have
been exposed. -But it should be explained, that with
the exception of very small balances in the hands of the
trustees, to answer the ordinary calls of the depositors
from day to day, the whee of the money belonging to
the Savings' Banks, ambunting to nearly thirteen mil-
lions, is in the hands of Government, who allow com-
pound interest for it at the rate of 44 l Is. 3d. per cent.
which is a much higher pro& for money than any other
Government Security affords.

Whenever any demands are made upou the local
Banks, the Trustees apply to the C.ommissioners of the
National Debt for the necessary sums, which are in-
stantly paid over to their order by the Bank of Eng-
land. On the sums so drawn out, no interest of course
allowed, and the poor people who make these calls are
thus, by their own act, deprived of so much benefit. It
is every one's duty therefore to disseminate correct in-
formation among the poor on this subject, that they
may be aware there is no funded property in the king-
dom more productive, nor more perfectly safe, than the
fruits of their meritorious savings, if allowed to accu-
mulate as hitherto.

We have received the .atoile of Monday and yester-
day. The latter is principally occupied with a report
of the debates in the Second Chamber of the States
General of the Netherlands. It also contains some in-
telligence respecting the death of the Emperor ALEX-
ANDER, which is attributed to erysipelas. It is said that
some years ago the EMPEROR was thrown out of a
drowski, which occasioned an erysipelas in his leg; and
that, as he did not take the usual precautions, he was fre-
quently ill with it. Recently he was confined neatly
two months at St. Peter burgh, with this complaint,
which is now said to have terminated his life. The
following are some further particulars connected with
this event:—

IROSI THE !TOIL! 01 TUESDAY.
PARIS, Dircotssa 19.

The Courier dispatched from Taganrok, with the in.
telligence of the death of the Emperor Alexander, pro-
ceeded direct to Warsaw, and the French Consul there
sent a Courier with the news to Berlin, whence it was
transmitted to Paris by the French Ambassador. '
The Emperor Constantine quitted Warsaw on the
Bth inst. He will be proclaimed on the 15th, at Sr.
Petersburgh, and on the 16th he will give audience to
the civil and mtlitary authorities. It will not be until
the 30th inst. that we shall receive in Paris an account
of what passes at St. Petersburgh, after the accession of
the Emperor.

The Court of Prussia had been informed of the indis•
position of the Emperor.
The doubt raised in some Journals, as to the succes-
sion to the Empire, are without foundation. The succes-
sion was regulated by the Emperor Paul.
The Emperor Alexander had intended to purchase
lands, and build a Palace, for a summer residenco,-near
Taganrok,which is five hundred leagues from St. Peters-
burgh, on the Black Sea (or rather the Sea of Azof).
The Empress, who had accompanied him in his
journey, for the benefit of her health, is plunged into
the most profound affliction.

M. Adolphe Billicocq, Secretary to the French Lega-
tion in Prussia, h is arrived in Paris from Berlin.

PARIS. Dzczatasa IS.

A great Prince is dead : generous and magnanimous,
the Emperor Alexander will leave a long remembrance
of his reign, and of his noble qualities. The elevation
of his cbatacter, and the disinterestedness of his policy,
are universally known. His loss will be deeply felt.
The Emperor Alexander had long had a disorder in
one leg, and it is supposed that the humours may have
ascended, and caused his death.
Ile present Emperor, the Grand Duke Constantine,•
was born on the Bth of May, 1779. This Prince is
plunged into the most profound affliction. He was
warmly attached to his brother. The Emperor Alex•
ander had just named his brother Viceroy of Poland,
and he was at Warsaw when he learned that he was
going to ascend the the one.
The last act of the Emperor Alexander published at
St. Petersburgh, was a.; Ukase, to manifest his par-
ticular favour of the town of T.latirog, and to give it
All possible means to improve its port.

• " We yesterday quoted from a German Journal what is said
in a Prussian Ahnanack of the Grand Duke NICIJOLAS, who it
calls heir to the Throne. A Journal having endeavoured to give
importance to this article of an Almanaek, we think it propel to
say, that the Grand Duke Cosisrawrise having no children by the
first marriage, and those of the second marriage not being entitled
to inherit the Throne of Russia, it is very natural that the Prussian
Almanack should call the Grand Duke Nicnoirs heir to the
Throne, to which be will be called after his brother the Emperor
Cossraraum"— Note 9. the Doile.

Frankfort Papers to the 15th instant reached us this
forenoon. An article from Mayence, states, that on the
15th instant the ceremony of delivering up that fortress
to the German Confederation, would be performed
with much solemnity. The Military Committee had
appointed Generals Wollzogen and Hinuber to take
possession of it. The following are extracts :
