THE BANK.

This day, at two o'clock, a most alarming Aro brake

Fleet-street. It had wads considerably progress
when we went to Press. Several houses in Gough.

that 'was riposted to ensue, produced the most
dreadful apprehensions moo( that close sad crowd-
ed neighbourhood.

After all that bar been dome on the aobjeet of '

Why, jest as mach as it is likely to gain by the oppo-
'Hien made to the Government inflicting taxes. to
the amoont of three millions, on the already over.
burdened People of thee, kingdoms. Contention is
at an end ; and complimeats to the Directors are re-
commencing. Mr. GIIENIELL'II valedictory address
to the twenty-four great men of Threadneedle.street,
was a sort of prologue to the swell's( act, of need-
leg to the amoodureat i•troduced by the Lards into
the Cash Payments Bill. Mr. Pau. last night moved
the adoptioa, by the House of Commons, of the
clause into the Bill, by which the option is loft to
the Bank of resuming the payment of their Notes
in the current coin of the realm, a Int later than
was tint proposed. To borers this body of rich and
►oaest money-merchants will preferably hike the
latter period as the choice is loft to them. Their
motto Is, " pet off the evil day as long as you can,"
sad that of the Peers " better late ikon never."—
For oar Olin ports, we remain in the saute opinion as
ever. The day of payment will never come without
muse sebterfoge in the way of tokens, which Is one
species of from: : Of in the way of ingot, another

that they deem the change they have made necessary,
in order to enatik the Bank Inure ...Pettedly to
prepare for the commas' Resumption of Cash

to know whether the words wets not penned
in letters of gold $ That the whole meltdown,
is competed its sterling language, there is great
reason to suppose. We should like to enquire of
the ArfORNILT and Sotactron-Gatixam. whether
they lent their official aid to the drawing op of the
indolent class,? The dill has been when it would
have been objected to the Mose of lords making

is a gri tax on the People to all intents end ;tar-
pons. And a as of the worst kind too, because
so man can exactly ukelele the silent of its ope-
ration, and cannot, of costae, prepare against
or lessen its pressure, as against any other di-
rect tat. Bet as the matter now stands, the Pub-
lic are to bear the borders which has been so long,
so deeply, sod so justly complained of, for another
lengthened period by a year, in the hope of being
thins relieved from it altogether, of which said pay-
meat, however, without some shift, trick, or evasion,
we have nn more hope nor espectation Say more

It will be a prodigy to future time that even al
