We are happy To find, that Cotton. &c.
was not only IN demand, but was irac-
ton higher than at our former advices.
IL Is also crafty ing To learn, that there
had been no recent failures, and that
commercial confidence WAS revivimg.

Roman Catholics, also the oaiiis and de-

LONDON, May S.-Tbe report on the
Bank Restriction was last night presented
| To the House of Lords by their commit
tees. We understand il very closely a.
grees will that OF the Commons OF which
| we tins day present a copy. The two re
ports are said TO have been progressively
formed on mutual derstant!ing between
| the Two committees.
As some of the members of the House
| OF Lords think fortnight TOO short pc
| Rod to enable them fully TO consider and
fairly to Judge this important subject, it
would be premature Ill others at this lime
TO attempt to come to any decision but
there are some points on which we may
be permitted TO touch without mourning
the charge of presumption.

cumsiances, 10 be resumed in less than
four years.
Nay l2.-The effect ofthe reports re-
la,ing to the bank are already apparent,
both as relates TO the foreign exchanges
| and the price of bullion.-A very consid
cradle rise took place yesterday in the ex
change, and gold. which was lately four
pounds two shilings per ounce, was quot
ed al four pounds and sixpence. Stocks
n We declined a little. Consois for mo-
ney and account on the Goth INST and for
The opening in July are all the same price,

further decline. II the bank do not take

| ed tor except al very low rate.
Bank Stock yesterday, fell ten per cent.
that is, ten upon $50, equal TO about three
| per cent OF COnsols but We cannot agree
with Morning Paper, that this depres-
sion is The consequence of the publiea-
ton OF the Parliamentary Reports, since if
they had been the cause, the fall would
have taken place on Friday or Saturday
last, when they first appeared. On the
contrary, the fall occurred yesterday at
ter one o'clock, and must have arisen
from some proceedings in the Court of
Dire tors, or communication TO them
rom the goyeTnment-We have no infor-
nation OF The subject. Bank Stock stood
lis ground on Monday and yesterday
morning. Why so great fall took place.
SO unexpectedly, late in the day why
such sudden panic, remains an affair Of
surprlze and speculation.
we have received Paris papers of Sun
day last. I'm the Chamber of Deputies on
tile preceding day no business of any in
teTest was transacted. There we're but
few members & none of the ministers pre-
sent. In the Chamber of Peers, the Duke
de Broglle, IN the name ofthe committee,
made his report relative 10 the first projei
OF the law upon the liberty of1he press.
IlIe report was ordered TO be printed, and
Thursday tOmorrOw) was fixed for TAX
Ing the question into consideration. A
committee was then appointed 10 examine
the second proiet the law upon The same
subject relating to the punisbments that
should beawarded against offences of the
press. and the mode of judicial process.
