THE FUND.

tqfrri 4*L..:XI

The evils long foreseen by many, ite the sai=t
and unavoidable consequence of the paper
which has for years been imposed upon the public, tn,

place of a solid circulating medium, steal hastening!,
to a crisis which threatens wide and universal:ruin ;
and which will soon be past all remedy, if Govern-
ment does not instantly interfere in some way or other,
to lessen the pressure, and ward off its first and molt
to be dreaded effects. It would be invidious—it
would be dangerous, to mention all the. ghastly ru-
mours of failures that an- daily expected, besides
those already announced. In Hampshire, Devon-
shire, and Cornwall, the distress seems most pressing
at the present moment. From the failures that lave
taken place among Country Bankers, it has be-
come difficult for the labouring classes to procure pro.
visions, having nothing to offer in exchange but paper,
which numbers refuse*, ter take at any disconnu—A
relief similar co -160 was .afforded .by Government,
some years ago, to the trading part of the commit-.
nity, should be instantly given to such manufacturers
and traders in the country. ,its can make a deposit of
. real property as a security, and to- none -else. Let

pation on the part of Government, id affording. relief!
to traders in that country, as announced in the STAt
of Monday.
A Deputation of Merchants waited yesterday on'
the Directors of the Bank, with a view to suggest the
adoption of some measures to relieve the pressure upon
the mercantile interest which at present exists. No
me.isures of this kind, however, were adopted, in con_
sequence, as we are informed, of there not being a
sufficient number of Bank Directors in town to form
a Court. Omnium was yesterday at a discount of
2i per cent. and finally left off at Li. Consols fell
from 70 to 69 in the course of the day, and left off
at 69-i. It is difficult to say, however, whether this
depression of the Funds is to be entirely ascribed to
the recent failures in the commercial world, or rather
in some measure to the intelligence of the annexation
of Holland to France.
