part of the cargo, had been put on board, which' at the

enough for five ovens. The troops, both Ofliers and

Some of our Cuatemporaries are endeavouring, to
convert the question of the circulation of small motes
into a bugbear, which is to frighten Mr. Pest. out of
office: nay, it was almost positively affirmed, scarcely
a week since, that the Right Honourable Secretary had

sent in his resignation. because the Duke of Was.Listrroti
had intimated his doubts as to the expediency of pew.-

would risk something, to avoid the cettain f r f
unstable and fluctuating counsels: There can be no
confidence in a Government which is perpetually shifting
and changing.; which resolves to-day and flies off to.
morrow ; which is constant in nothing but its incon-
stancy. And where there is no confidence, enterprise is
paralysed through all its numberless *ramifications.: •
• Now, let us consider for a moment what has already
been-done an tundone. with respect to this question of
'the small note currency. In the year 1819. it was
solemnly determined by Parliament that small notes
were to be suppressed ih 1884; but, in 1822, the qua-
lion was again brought under consideration, and it was
.then resolved to allow small notes to be in circulation
till 18S3. Emu:years afterwards, however, viz. in 1526,1
another change to. k place, and the Legislature then
.fixecilB2l) acs the limit cif their circulation ; but last
Session it was again attempted to extend this limit, and
to extend it.even indefinitely. .4 Let us not -do so," we
say, ie the. language of Mr. PEW. himielf, ,4 unless a
paramount expediency warrants it; let us refuse to dtr'
so, unless', that necessity be clear ; but, if it were de-
monstrated, then we should say, let us not consider con-
sinewy, so much as the force of the demonstration."
This is the lalguage of practical wisdom ; and we
contend that the demonstration which Mr. PEEL, called
Tor,,kefore he could 'consent to any fresh alteration in a
course of policy which had been thus deliberately sanc-
tioned, has not been given. We do not deny that par-
decrier interests. May suffer ; that partial losses and in-
conveniences will be sustained ; but the community at
large will ben. fit by the measure, and in the tide of
keneraptcts'perity,• the tributary streams will be aug-
mented and •quickeveill In their. course. We have
lived long enough. ter *now by experience, that the
dismal prophrcieV of an* intetested party, directed
'against comprehensive measures. . which embrace
the common welfare, of ail, are entitled to but
•
tittle.consideratios. Each man's world is.the circle
*within which histhern interests and affections move;
and there are few who can trust thrii judgments
beyond its eiicOmference. We shall take an emelt op
portunity of reverting to this subject; but meanwhile,
it is satisfactory to know, that the Government will not.
recede from the position it took in 1826. The country
is now within sight of the goal which It was then SO
anxioustorearth—a little firmness will enableit to reach

firmly believe, that at no period could that step be taken
