liberty of deriving one-quarter of the profit from the.

proof is required to conclude, that that no Country
Beaker will continue a laborious department of his
business, whereby his shop is daily frequented by the
lower orders of people, for a profit which to one cif;
his clerks would be deemed inadequate for his sae.
lary. The Minister is therefore deceived in an"
financial expectation under this Bill, of 24,000,00 Mi
at three per cent. from the Country Bankers ; but he
will not be deceived in finding a deficit in the Re-
venue of 0,000,000 sterling, now consumed, an-
nually, in stamps, by Country Bankers, on Bilks
under five pounds. Let us not, therefore, have any
clauses or conditions in the Bill, enabling Country,
Bankers to . issue these •One Pound Exchequer Bills,
&c. which we all see is impracticable, but at once
come to the point--prohibit the Country circulation,
and grant a monopoly to the Bank of England. But I
trust the public Revenue is not hereby to suffer, and
that government willinake it a condition distinct from
every other bargain, that the Bank of England, for
this exclusive privilege, shall pay two millions a year,
which is less than government now receive on stamps,
from Country ifanis, for Notes under 51. ; and as the
Bark wi:l hereby be in possession of all the profit of
the kingdom, from this department of business, they
shall also be bound to establish in every country town,
and large district, in the kingdom, a confidential
agent, for the purpne of supplying the public with
the mdispensible circulating medium of small notes,
as also to inform, both rich and poor, if a Note is
forged or not, which at present nobody out of Lon-
don has the means of deciding. On this plan I would
readily become one of their agents, but not for a sa-
lary of 941. 13s. 4d. persannum.

LON7ION MARKETS, APRIL 14.

Corrox.—There his been an extensive demand
,for Coaton, particularly towards the close of last week;
the request has been particularly for Pernambuco and
Surat Cotton t the principal tales of the latter were
at prices ed. to id. per pound higher than they might
have been purchased the previous week. The sales '
were—l9oo Pernams Oid. to 2s. I id. principally
at 2s. Id. to 2s. 1id..50 Maranharns 2s. a few Boweds
at 21d. Sea Islands 2s. 11d. 700 Smyrnas taken on
speculation at 17id. and 400 Bentals were purchased
lOid. to ITyd. 1300 Surats 131 d. to 1 cid. Yesterday
and this foreiioon the enquiries after Cotton were
very extensive, but the holders are now asking a con-
siderable advance, on account of the favourable re-
ports from Liverpool, which has impeded sales at
the prices of list week. There are extensive pur-
chasers both of Pernambuco and Surat Cotton, but
none are offering at the former currency.
SEGAR.—In refined goods there has been little
doing ; the demand for shipping gave way towards
the close of the week, and the refiners evinced so great
a disposition to effect sales, that the market may
again be stated lower ; refined goods continue much
lower in proportion than raw Sugars.
Cora-wt.—The Coffee market may be stated gene-1
rally at the advance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. since last
Tuesday. and the supply at• market trivial, and ra-
pidly decreasing—for St. Domingo 1 1 Is. has been
realized, and for fine quality 113 s. and 114 is asked ;

are advancing • a contract has been advertised, and,
