FOR EHGN.

The New York Mercantile Advertiser states that
the damage done in Nottingham and the neighbour
hood during the late riots is estimated at EGO 900
sterling.
AS proof the general feeling of Indignation
which prevails in England against those Lords
who voted against reform, we quote the following
instances, which we find in our late papers. The
Ycomanry Cavalry commanded by Lord Morsham
have held meeting at which formal resignation
was agreed to-the resolution states that they:
cannot, consistently with their duty to themselves
and their country, consent to serve under Colonel
who opposed the Reform Bill in the House of
Commons Lord Lieutenant who is in the major
ty of the House of Lords, 'for if turnult arise,
which we sorrowfully anticipate in consequence
OF refusing reform to the people, should be be-
lying our political creed should we be called out to
night against men whose cause we espouse.'
his is language too explicit to be mistaken
The Salisbury troop of Royal Wiltshire Cavalry
have sent In their resignation i'll consequence of
Lord Arundefs vote
The following document signed by about three
fourths oft the First Doncaster troops ofthe South
ern Regiment of West Riding Yoemanry Cavalry
has been transmitted to Lord Warncliff, the com
mander.
1--WE, the undersigned members of thu troops of
feomanrY Cavalry, with undiminished loyalty to
our gracious Sovereign, with increasing zeal and
anxiety for the peace, welfare, and happiness of our
country, as staunch advocates for the Reform Bill
(as passed by the Commons House of par lament y
beng anxious to continue services to our coun-
we cannot consistently continue those services IN
der the command of one so Numerically opposed to
our sentiments and the best interests of our coun-
try: We, therefore, respectfully hope that when
your Lordship perceves that you have forfeited
the confidence of your troops, you will also per-
celve the Propriety of rcsigning the command,
that orr services, however inefficient, NAV be
continued under the command of another, whose
sentiments and wishes more in unision with
our own, as well with those of the great ma
jority the nation"
Similar memorials are in course of signature from:
the other eleven troops of Lord Wharncffe's regi-
ment, namely Wakefield, Pontefract, Barnsey,
two Sheffield, ROTTERDAM, Keavcton, Wentworth,
Hatfield, 1'lckhll, and Second Doncaster.
These, and other manifestations of opinion by
the brave and generous yeomanry Of England, must

transactions generally and for tho SAFETY and
utility of the local Banks, is not doubted and, as
is believed, has been shewn in the past experience
OF the Government, and in the. general accommo-
daton and operations of the present Bank.
The present institution may, indeed, be
considered as peculiarly the offspring of that
necessity-springing from the Inconvenience
which followed tho loss of the first Bank of
the United States, and the evils and distrcsses
incident to tho excessive, and in some instances
fraudulent issues of the local Banks during tho
Wharf.-The propricty of continuing it is to be consi
dcred not more in reference to the cxpediency of
bcnking generally, than in regard to tho actual
state ot things and to multiplicity of State Banks
already in existence, and which neither be dis
placed nor IN other manner controlled in their is
sues of paper by the General Government. This
is an evil not to be submitted to; and the remedy
present applied, while it preserves sound curren-
cy for the country at large, promotes the real in
terests of the local Banks by giving soundncss to
their paper.
If the necessity OF banking institution be con-
coded or shewn, that which shall iudiciousy com
bInc the power or the Government with private
enterprise, is believed to be most eicacious-
