ESTATE AND HOUSE-AGENCY OFFICE,

No. 93, RISHOPSGATE..STREET—
LIENRY L COOPER, in submitting to his Friends
AA the publication of his Register for the present Month, is
happy in being able to state that, after having already disposed of
a much greater number of Properties than on any former season.
and from the patronage his Agency Establishment has found with
the Public, he has still the opportunity of laying before them a
List of Houses and Estates, which few Competitors can exceed,
either in value, importance. or variety, and in situations which
comprise most of the counties in England, thereby rendering it
almost impossible but that parties, either as buyers or sellers, at
the reasonable value of the day, may both be accommodated. An
engagement of upwards of forty years in the Upholstery Depart-
ment, on the same spot, will, it is presumed, be a sufficient gua-
rantee for his integrity and responsibility ; and when the locality,
as to situation, is considered, being in the immediate vicinity of
tlte Bat.k of England, Garraway's, and the Auction Mart (the
resort of the monied and landed interest of the country), presents
facilities peculiar to this Establishment for effecting immediate and
advmtageous sales, at the fair marketable value of the day, of what-
ever interests may be committed to his care.
N.B. Noblemen or Gentlemen desirous of taking a professional
opinion will be waited on at their residences or Estates.

THE LATE CALAMITOUS FLOODS
IN SCOTLAND, AND MEANS OF REPAIRING THEIR

DISASTROUS EFFECTS.

The following are extracts from an unpublished letter
upon the above important subject, transmitted, upon the
thy it bears date, to the Noble Earl :
TO THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF ABERDEEN.

MY LORD-It is the high situation which your Lordship holds
in Administration, and your family estates being situated in —,
and your family title derived from the name of —, one of the
counties of Scotland, Aberdeen, which has suffered moat severely
by the late disastrous floods, which induces me thus to address
you, as your Lordship must be well informed of the ruinous losses
which these have inflicted upon the lower and middling cl . of
Lamers, in their growing crops, farming implements, cattle (for
want of provender to bring them through the winter), and, above
all, in the permanent destruction of much of the expensive int
provements executed at their own cost, in so many large counties.
A public subscription has been talked of, in aid of these descrip-
tions of farmers, and certainly, whether we consider the extent or
durable nature of the calamity, or the useful and excellent charac-
ter of these sufferers, now, by no imprudence of their own, for the
first, and, it is to be hoped, for the last time, brought before the
public as requiring aid, few cases seem better deserving that the
hands of those in easy circumstances should " be opened wide" fnr
•
their relief • • •

I dare not presume to press the subject more, but leave it to
yourself to judge of the propriety of permitting your Lordship's
name to be used in calling, in the first place, a public meeting of
the Scotch nobility, gentry, merchants, and tradesmen. resident in
and about the metropolis ; along with ch.! many wealthy English
mercantile London houses connected with the trade of Scotland,
to take the matter into consideration.

But. my Lord, there is another, perhaps, more effectual mode,
and one more congenial to the feelings of the sufferers, of repairing
this national disaster, upon which I consider myself better entitled
to offer an opinion.
Some three or four years back, when the subject of the cur-
rency was so much agitated, it was the fashion to designate the
Scotch and all other Banking Companies, issuing small notes, by
the most opprobrious epithets—in fact, a sort of phrenzy pre-
vailed upon it, which even made its way into the Legislature.—
Although a atranger to the Press, and, front my habits, unaccus.
tooted to public writing, I was among the first, in London,
who had the hardihood to attempt opposing the torrent, by
entreating the then Administration to paws., before tampering
with the all-vital question of the currency, except by corrective
regulations ; because, as it then stood, it had accommodated itself
to and incoporated itself with every transaction of life, from the
lowest to the highest. I stated, although aware my opinions would
at the time be scoffed, that a few years' direful experience would
greatly change public opinion. Was I right, my Lord? How few,
comparatively, are thete.now, possessing practical knowledge of our
internal trade, agriculture, and manufactures, who will say that a
public and private taxation of upwards of SO millions sterfing, with
a rental of more than half as much in addition, can, without that
aid to personal credit and earnings which attaches to a well-bot-
tomed paper circulation, be raised from a population of 44 millions.
of which one-third is in a state bordering upon destitution? To what
else, in the apparent midst of every thing which ought to contri-
bute to general prosperity. are to be ascribed the unexampled de-
cay of capital among the indu.trious of all the lower and middling
claws, and such a scarcity of money among them, al has been
seldom beforq felt, but that while the credit of the State has been
kept up by a rigid levy of our vast taxation in a currency raised one-
third, but in practical effect. doubled, personal credit has been run
doWn by injudicious legislation and unjust tampering with the cur-
rency • by which however, we may delude ourselves, by giving it
other. pastes? The result, has. been a barefaced rubbery of, some
hundreds of millions ateillngcommitted, and continuing to he
committed, upon industry, in favour of a realized capital—aggta.

vated by our also continuing to have those almost boundless do-
mestic and foreign resources of the empire sealed up, which, if
opened to capital, skill, and enterprise, would, in a few years, render
our taxation, large as it is, not only bearable, but capable of being
so increased as to maintain such wars as might be forced upon us
for upholding the interest or honour of the State, without incurring
additional debt ; besides affording profitable employment to every
one in the United Kingdom able and willing to labour at any use-
ful occupation.
Here it will be answered, that no change has as yet been made
in the Scotch currency and banking system. This is a mistake.
Men so prudent as the Directors of the Scotch Banks, which,
amidst so many disastrous changes, have fur a century been kept
in the highest credit, being forewarned of the intended alterations,
and finding themselves, as they must at present, pressed upon by
the prevailing scarcity of money in England, in place of making
such large fresh advances as the farmers would require, to se-
pair their enormous losses by these floods, will rather feel
inclined to draw in, by degrees, those already made. But,
were it not (or this threatened change, the prudent, indus-
trious, thrift Sclltch farmer would as heretofore, and was well ex-
pressed by Mt. Pitt, find his personal character stand him in the
stead of capital, by procuring one or two reputable friends or tie gh-
bours to join their personal security with his own for a Permanent
bank loan, or, as ft is there called, " a bank cash account, to enable
him tore-commence his important labours by purchasing food for
his household, provender for his cattle, farming implements and
seed-corn for next crop, to re-improve and re-cultivate his best
lands, for the present rendered waste by the floods.
In short, my Lord, my proposition is, that Administration
should give such demi-official notice as will be well understood of
their intention, upon the meeting of Parliament, to recommend to
both Houses to make a declaration that no important change in
the system of Scotch banking shall be made without a previous no-
tice of at least seven years. This, at once, would greatly lessen the
disastrous effects of the floods, by enabling the Banks, with safety,
to issue capital to restore the ruined cultivation, as well as the
public and private roads and bridges.
Fear nut, my Lord, in this kingdom, so renowned for the pro-
duction of so large a share of whatever is truly valuable to man-
kind—the emporium, besides, of the trade of the East and West—
that there can ever exist a permanent scarcity of gold and silver.
The notion is about as wise as to imagine that our twenty or thirty
millions of gold and silver coinage would remain in circulation, in
sufficient quantity for the currency, if greedily sought after by
the holders of SOON six hundred millions of public securities,
and of bankers' notes and deposits, acting under a delirious
panic, arising from some real or apprehended public calamity.
—With a debt of eight hundred millions sterling, we cannot
possess a gold and silver sterling currency that will remain steadily
in circulation under such circumstances; and in our very involved
domestic and foreign relations, such must be expected not unfre-
quently to occur. The truth is, in future, gold and silver can only
be our" fair weather" currency, to bide itself when the storm
rages, and to re-appear when it shall have passed over. Nor
inn I aware, provided the Legislature had the wisdom, justice,
and manliness, to lay open the immense latent resources of
the empire, and to show a benificent kindly feeling towards
fhe great body of the people, that there is any thing in this
to occasion well-founded alarm ; as to suppose that a country,
possessing more than half a thousand banking establishments of the
most unquestioned stability and credit, would not, under the most
adverse circumstances, find other means than " a state of barter"
for carrying on its trade, is a conceit too puerile for serious refute-
tion.-1 have the honour to remain, my Lord, your Lordship's
most obedient humble servant,
