THE LATE OAKS.

bA deputation from the committee of joint-stock banks
ad an interview at halt-past two o'clock on Friday with
°I, Robert Peel for the purpose of proposing their amend-
bleats to the Bank Charcer Act.
irThe deputation consisted of Messrs. Jos. Walker,
Ilicent Stuc k J. W G.lbart Daniel Robertson, and
Oliver V 1,.. ey''
• .Mr. Walker stated the different points nssigned by the
Mat-stock banks, and Sir Robert Peel very corteously
Consented to the folL,wing important modifications ;
That instead of the averages of the two years as
tinginallY proposed, the maximum of the future circula-
d°l4 shall be regulated by the average of the circulation
~tpariill4 the three months, February, March, and April,
liQue to the announcement of toe measure in parliament.
That the future maximum shall be taken upon a
ethlv, instead of a weekly average, so that if a bank

nu, so as to allow banks to open new branches, provided
*tic,/, do not exceed the fixed amount of their circulation.
the
That the art shall not come into operation so far as
„' country bankers are concerned. until the 25th October,
i'Veriod when the bankers' annual licenses are renewed.
nni be deputation urged Sir Robert to permit, that when a
" took place between two joint s'ork banks, or a joint-
. Peck and a private bank, the united bank might issue to
the united amount of their previous circulations. But to
he objected, on the ground that the whole circulation
?arthe country might then fall into the hands of a few
Re enmPanies.
Mr• Walker expressed the satisfaction of the deputation
at the concessions which bad been so handsomely made,
rand still entertained a hope that Sir Robert would
often
the subject of the union between joint-stock
rivate bankers, as he considered such unions might
prevent hankir, failures that would inflict great
mistress
on the coun"try. Mr. Walker expressed the
action of the deputation with that part of the bill
Which Placed the *oint stock banks in London upon an
equality With
*nee. other banks, in regard to the right of accept-
halfTh con.,
he --.-e.esions made by Sir Robert Peel will add above
a million to the country circulation, and by the
monthly, instead of the weekly average, the danger of
incurring penalties will be wholly avoided. We have no
doubt the banking interest generally throughout the coun-
utY will feel greatly obliged to the joint-stock banking corn-
esittee for having obtained these important modifications,
led we apprehend that the bill will now pass through
parliament without any opposition.

SUPPOSE (which we have shown could not ultimately
be the case) that in consequence of the unrestricted ad-
mission of foreign grain, the price of subsistence is per-
manently lowered to the British consumer—will any
benefit thence in the end accrue to the working classes of
Great Britain? If, indeed, they could succeed in main-
taining their money wages at the same level, they would
be very great oiners indeed by the changes; although
the wtthering effect of the distruction of the agricultural
classes would, in the end, come to react on this temporary
Prosperity of the manufacturing classes. But could the
manufacturing operatives, or any class of labourers, keep
their money wages up at the present level if a permanent
reduction in the price of the necessaries of life had taken
place? Nothing is clearer than that they could not.
The money rate of wages, wholly independent of the price
of provisions from year to year, is entirely regulated by
t.t2 other things being equal, from ten years to ten years.
by the free importation of foreign grain, the money
Price of it is reduced one-half, the ultimate result will be,
that Wages will fall one-half, also. It is impossible it can
f otherwise; for even if the reduction did not ensue
:boomt b any other cause, it would inevitably be brought
ay the great impulse eiven to population, and con-
sequent multiplication of labourers under the influence of
,rudiroinished money wages, and augmented ease of cir-
:lnstances, and an increased durable fall in the price of
a necessaries of life.
Past history and present experience alike concur in
demonstrating this important fact. In the time of the
41e °,1111,, an Conquest, the price of wheat was from three
hung' and sixence to five shillings a but
nevertheless the labourers had not half the command of
tite necessaries and conveniences of life they have now
or lae money wages of labour were a halfpenny a-day
prrovit.the remainder of the year, and a penny in harvest.
Rus •eleuti are incomparably cheaper in Poland and in
sla than in this country ; but are the Polish and Rus-
:ran peasants half so comfortably fed, lodged, or clothed,
.Bthe corresponding classes in this country ? Every one
knows that, so far from being so, or obtaining any benefit
whatever from the cheap price of provisions in their own
country, they are, in truth, the most miserable labourers
111 Europe, and feed upon scanty meals of rye-bread, in
the midst of the splendid wheat crops which they raise
for the more opulent consumers in this country. In the
southern provinces of Russia, wheat is often only ten,
sometimes but five shillings a quarter. from the total
want of any market. But what is the consequence?
Why. that wages are so low, that the Cossack horseman
gets only eight shillings and sixpence a-year of pay from
government. Wheat and provisions of all sorts are much
geeit:er in Ireland than in Great Britain; but, never-
the 889 the labourers do not enjoy one-third of
comforts or necessaries of life which fall to the lot of
their brethren on this side of the Channel. Their wages
are sixpence a-day. Thence it is, that when once they have
got out of Ireland, so few will ever return to it. Provi-
810ns of all sorts are extravagantly dear in every part of
America, Canada, and Australia ; but, high as they are,
the wages of labour, from the rapid growth of these
colonies, are still higher. and the condition of the labour-
ing classes is beyond all precedent prosperous and com-
fortable. The mere necessaries of life are sold almost for
nothing in Hindostan and China ; but, so far from
obtaining any benefit from that low rate of prices, the
labouring classes are so poor as to taste hardly anything
but rice and water ; and wages are so low, seldom exceed-
ing twopence a-day, that every sea-boy, foot soldier, and
horseman has two, and every native three attendants to
wait upon his person. Examples of this sort prove how
extremely ill founded is the common opinion that perma-
nent low prices must necessarily produce comfort to the
Working classes, and tend to show that Dr. Adam Smith
was much nearer the mark when he said, " High prices
and plenty, are prosperity : low prices and want, are
ftisery."—From Mr. Alison's Pamphlet on Free Trade
and Protection.

THE LATE DEIIBY.
Pursuant to the judge's order obtained on Monday last,
Colonel Peel's solicitor, accompanied by Mr. Field, Mr.
Mayor, and other veterinary surgeons, and several per-
"'ls, for the purpose of identification, proceeded to Ep-
aon Yesterday, with the intent to see and examine Run-
g Rein Poll particulars of what took place we have
rtl.ot been
able to collect • but it is stated in the subscrip-
r:),?-,T° at, that Mr. A iVood, the owner of the horse,
(:„/ not at home," and, on application to the trainer,
Smith,) he refused to show the horse without an
order from the owner, thus exposing himself to the
usual
Penalty for contempt of court. The effect of this
refusal was to increase the odds on Orlando from 5 to
2. taken several times in the early part of the day, to 3 to
offered.
