contemporary says that foreign bills do. The
Guardian, however, completely shirks the original;
question, which was that the increase of gold itv
the coffers of the Bank of England was caused by-
the foreigner remitting his banking capital to this-
country, in order to enable him to pay his indebted—
ness by drawing upon London. We asked the
Guardian to explain how such. a round-about and
extraordinary mode of doing business would be
managed; and, as-usual with him when driven into
a corner, he declines the invitation. We never
expected him to do otherwise; in fact,—and we
repeat the assertion,—he is profoundly ignorant of
the subject upon which,. before we checked him,
he seemed disposed to be oracular.
