at Hertford.kousa, iu Manihester.square, on Friday
night, was attended by upwards of 500 fashioaa-
bles.

The following is the letter addressed to Mr. Sue.
ZTBAN, by order of the late Lord Cbaosberlain,
tead iu the debate last night :

" JUNE 23. 1810.

" I bare it in command from the Lord Clmniberlain to tie.
qnshot you, that it has beet; ii,titnated to him that you propose
emplo.ing the dor.uant Patent for a new 'rhesitre, and kis
Lordship having no doubt of tLa Illegality of that inorunient,
thinks it neces.ary to apprize you, that it is certainly his inten-
tion to oppose any Titea*e being opened within the Libertine
of Westminstervnder such authority.
" I have the honour to be, &e. &c."

The circulating medium being at this time •ery
much the subject of speculation, the following facts
and calculations are submitted to our readers, lean.
jog them to form their own conclusions :
Let a crown piece be considered as worth ss.
A dollar or Bank token is 1-12th less in weight
than a crown ; therefore, if the silver in each is of
equal quality, the value of a-dollar must be 4s. 7J.
Silver may be exchanged for paper at the rate of
four dollars fur 225.

Theo, 100 crowns, or 251. in crowns, are worth
109 dollars and sd. which dollars may be exchanged
for paper to the amount of 291. 199. 11d.
In other words : by exchanging crowns for dol-
lars, and those dollars fur Bank notes, 24c. and
.Id. in paper money may be had for four crowns, or
one pound. '
Twenty shillings are bandy equal in weight to
three dollars, worth as above, 13s. 9(1.
Then, as many, shillings as are worth 13s. 9d. in
dollars, will..exchangn. for 20s. in paper money.
What would have-beeti the difference to the pub.
1k if the Bank had lowered Yin pound notes to
18s. instead of raising four dollars to 228. ?
A one pound note and 2s. would, in that case,
have exchanged for four dollars, as they do now.
