had not lessened the number of offences of thit de.
sciiption. He (Mr. Jackson) earnestly hoped that
the Directors would try the effect of the lesser pm.
- oishrnent, and see how far that were found to op..
rate. At all events, he conjured them steadily to
pursue the best ratans of protecting the Public from
fatiect‘sis Cid trot to relax, lest they should give
room for a &lug* of okapi injorioas to the public i
`'interest. It has, he thought, most desirable that
the Batik should cousuit and act in concert with the
Home Department in all these cases, so that what.
over measures they adopted should, by the concur.
Tenee of that (porter, come in an authoritative shape
before the Pebttic ; and, therefore, receive that at.
rention and acquiescence so essential to the well-being
of the Corporation. Ile was convinced that an ili-
um, of the crime of forging on the Bank was not

.may in the manner some supposed ; and his opinion
- es thin ptint was fortified by a comparison of the 1

,trosecutiona for counterfeiting the coin, before the
1,401111 Iteroriction Act passed.—(lleac, hear !)
• 'This was the seal way of ascertaining the fart; and
he nes confident it wouW, when tried, establish his
opinion.
A Nom rrou (we believe, Mr. Thompson) said,
that the only effectual way of diminishing the crime
of forgery, would be to withdraw the one and two
pound Husk-notes, and substitute specie for them.—
De wished to know whether the Directors were tak-

—( Hear.) .
The CIIAJRMA3I replied, that so long as the Go.
vernment continued the Restriction Act, it was ina. i
possible to carry such an arrangement into effect ;
the Directors had not the power. He assured the
Proprietors that they were ready to give such a sub.
-jest their best attention, and that from the Bank no
application should he made for interposing any delay
ks the resumption of cash payments—that originated
. 'th Government, atvi by no means with them.
r. Teostssos hoped the subject he stiuded to
old be well considered.—(Cries qf " Nom !")--
cad said he would not make any trortiott, as he was
valor,. as on a former occasfroo, prepeced to leave the
apt•hole matter in the hands and at the discretion of the
40irectors.
Tee Cart was then adjourned. It was flume.

plat, since the bleedings ; but the drowsiness, though

" Sept. 13, Six in the *wiling.
" Ills Serene Highness, the Duke tie Bourbon, has
had a good night, as was hoped from his state yester.
day morning. A more tranquil sleep appeared to
have suspended the drowsiness, which was often in-
terrupted by the drink, and by the necessity of giv7
tog it, with the full knowledge of the patient. The
blisters appear to have answered their purpose, with.
out giving much pain.
(Signed) " GUERIN, BONNIE, SANZ."
