The War in Europe is exhauSting the resources
Of England and is said to be large cause of the
commercial embarrassments :here. The Liver
pool Times the 18th ut. remarks:
War will soon prove Itself TO be as great an
eXhauster as famine. The cost of our army
for the present year has been estimated at con-
sideraoy more than the support OF the Irish peas
antry IN 1847. The people required .fS.000,0O0
wor,h OF corn, which threatened to exhaust our
banks. Our fleet and troops will require eS,423,-
099 before the close oil the current fiscal veal
The bullion receipts, week after week are ini-
nense, but the bullion returns OF our hanks show
no increase. The demand Tor the precious metals
appears to be greater thaa the supply, which is
infinitely larger than al any former period of our
history. This proves that an endless quantity Of
gold does not supply people with money. and
that in trade despite OF all legislation 10 the CON
trary. it is simply dealt in commodity, like
ali other articles of commerce.
