casions to she inhabitants a very great and sonnet-
airy additional espence. Miley instances could be

BANK •r INGLdND.

TO Till; EDITOR or THE ITATERNIAN.

Stn,—Much delusion is abroad yet, even relative
to this institution. By the hank of England, • great
many persons do really imagine it to be a National
Bank, and not merely the concern of a certain body
of interested individuals, who, indeed, are in daily
search after gain ; a let of persons too rich and too
enable. for sore wealth, to have any great share of
feeling for ally distress their fellow-mess may come to
through the bad management of their institution. It
is really • dreadful thing, for men to be sent oat of the
world by these persommetelyfor giving circulation to
paper in the very same way as they themselves do, for
gain, and for uo other purpose. It is also a most
absurd thing for the Bank to say they ere injured by
Forged Notes; they most certainly never pay those
notes by giving the individual one of their preatisury
notes for the one forged. No, no ; it is no loss to
them, bet it oily aflect their fine-spun reputation; it
may certainly show the community how easy it is to
make money for any purpose, good or bed; and it
may, too, cache prisons to reflect a little, and pro-
bably mote than • little, on the great evils that attend
a system that admits of such means—such easy means
for a few hadividuala to do the Nation serious injury.
For, in the first place, the article is of no real valve;
in the nest place a note of one hundred or one thew-
sand pounds might be made as well as one for •
pound only ; therefore, there are no booed, to the
thing. From nothing, something is created in a
short time. It is saying—" Let there be money,
and money there is," to any amount, for any pur-
pose; therefore, if all the lend or bosses in the
ration wets to be purchased, the Bank night make
money enough, ill • trifle of time, to hay the
whole with ; in fact, there seems no limit to
the non-entity, but fur inconstancy I know none to
equal it. The note bears upon it, I promise to pay,
which is a mere falsehood—a delusion—the Direc-
tors never do pay, they merely eachange--bow gross,
bow false. Where is the Society for 'oppression of
falsehood 1 11 a tradesman accepts a bill, he catmint
put his creditors off is this way.—No, he must give
them the only thing he can get, which is the above
promise—he does not pet off by having the pro-
mises continually renewed. He indeed. act much
more honourably—he pays—he gives the best mo-
ney he can gel—he completes his Contract with the
party, but the Bank never does. But they are ac-
quiring vast sums upon ibis paper—they get rich by
this nothing, indeed so rich, that they are absolutely
capable of getting into their power the real property
of the nation—such as land and houses; this is as.
suredly • serious subject, a weighty matter to the
People. For instance, a mass alight here been wading
op
to his knees its blood, destroying his fellow.crea.
tures—he might be supposed a brave man—he might
have twenty or thirty thousand pounds granted or
given to him by Government—of this rubbish, called
only money, be might with that bey land, acc. be-
come a peat man, and at the same time a great ty-
rant, and do a great deal of injury to society. I
say, Sir, this might all occur, end merely because a
person might have friends who would support a war,
and the system of paper being used as a trait repro.
imitative of money. I trust, Sir, that my fellow.
countrymen will look into this and other evils ere
long —I ens, respectfully, your's, dm.
