A very important measure, as regarding the re-
sumption of Cash Payments by the Bank, took place
last night in the HOuse of Commons. Mr. Pen
made an interesting thoigh partial Report from the
Committee, and announced that a final one may be
expected soon after the Easter Recess. The Com-
mittee then hope to suggest a plan for resuming cash
payments ; and in the mean time state that a chief
obstaeli to fixing ; specific time lay in the payment
of notes under £5 issued before 1817, as now prac-
tised by the Bank. They, therefore, recommended
the speedy passing of a Bill to restrict the .Bank
from these partial issues of specie, as they tended
only to weaken their resources, and thus defer the
complete resumption ; all these partial issues being
instantly drawn out of circulation and transported.
From January, 1816, to January, 1819, the payments
in specie amounted to 4,500,0001. and from the Ist
January fast to this time, to 700,000'. making to-
gether 5,200,000. Of this sum no less than 3,750,000 i.
had found its way to the French Mint, as proved by
a Report of the French Minister of Finance.

We agree perfectly with the views developed by
the Committee. A stinted supply of specie as hi-
therto can only product a demand for it by those
who are thus enabled to make a profit by consigning
it to the melting-pot. Let the Bank once perform,
without any limitation whatever, the PROMISE held
out,on the face of their paper, to pay the bearer on
demand the sum which it carries, and you will de-
stroy the trade of the money-melters, and turn all.
the foreign exchanges in favour of this country. But,
in the name of sense, do not attempt to per-
petuate an impossibility—the maintenance of two
metallic standards of the value of property. Make
oilier your standard, and let gold rise and fall in its
value compared with silver for by no means what-
ever can you. compel these two metals to preserve al-
ways the same relative value.--Make silver the legal
tender ; but give the Bank power to pay in stamped
ingots above a specified sum, (which will save ex-
pense in coining) or to pay in gold coin or stamped
ingots at the market price of gold of the day. D 9
this and you may in a very few weeks resume pay-
ments in the precious metals ; without diminishing,
to any great extent, the circulation of Bank paper,
which in all common commercial transactions, will
ever be preferred to specie,..on account of its portable
convenience.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this morning.
The Theatre of Strasburgh has been the scene of
some disturbances, produced apparently by the same
class of insensate striplings whose outrageous con-
duct at the Theatre of Montpelier called so recently
for the interferince of the Public Authorities. No
detailed account of the affair has yet been published.
All that we are told is, that it began with some
young persons, who call themselves Students of Me-
dicine and Law, and who, from motives difficult to,
comprehend, proceeded to the grossest acts of vio-
lence, breaking the lustres, tearing up the benches,
&c. The MAyon has in consequence been obliged
to issue a Proclamation, closing the Theatre for the
present, while exertions are making to bring the
authors of these excesses to punishment.

The assassin of ICOTZEDLTB, Henri Rodolphe Sand,
died of his wounds on the night of the 25th and Ath
ultimo. Every effort to prolong his existence as long
as the ends of public justice would have rendered de-
sirable, proved unavailing.
. The trial of Marinet and Cantillon, for the assassi-
nation of the Duke of WELLINGTON, comes on at
Paris on the 10th instant. Among the witnesses who
have been cited, are the Duke of WzrzlNoTorr, Lord
KINNAIRD, General MURRAY, and several other Eng-

lishmen and Belgians of high rank. M. Duns is
Counsel for Marinet, and M. CLAVEAX for Cantillon.
