The BANK OF EyGLASD.-To understand the impor-
tant financial news we are now receiving from Eng
land requires some knowledge of the currency system
Of that country. The Bank of England furnishes
dom; there are a number of local joint stock banxs,
having a snail aud limited circulation-relics of a
class Of hundreds, that existed in like numbers and
made paper money about as freely as our local banks
now, before the last previous great revulsion in Great
Britain, and consequent reform in its currency sys-
tem.-but the circulation of these remaining local
banks, In all England, Scotland and Ireland, was,
upon the last return we have seen, but fifteen million
pounds. while the Bank Of England had out at the
same time twenty-three millions
The Bank OF England has an authorized issue of
Hurteen million pounds, or about $4,000, 900, in
bank notes, secured by government stocks, or in other
words by what the government owes the bank. 1t is
calculated the amount Of notes will always be absorb
ed oy the business of the country, and is never likely
70 be reduced Beyond this the bank can emit bills
only i'm correspondence with the amount Of specie in
its vaults. Thus, IL it had ten millions Of spe lie, it
can issue twenty-hur millions Of bills, fourteen for
government stocks and ten for bullion The excess
over fourteen millions must never exceed the specie
reserve; and the amount Of bills which the bank can
issue, bat has in its possession, constitutes its cash or
reserve strength. When there is q drain of specie.
this cash or reserve strength decreases, and thus the
bank il doubly weakened at the same time. in specie
md in the amount Of bills issuable. This double
contraction Of course happens in high times in none
nary matters, for then there is a demand for specie
abroad and bills At home, and the very operation Of
this restriction in such times is to make bad matters
The government holds the power to suspend this

In its effect upon a panic, this suspension Of the
restricted issue of the bills Of the Bank Of England is
the same as the suspension Of specie payments by our
airy suffering Of the business public. and the excite

before when our banks suspended specie payments
There is, and well may be, the fullest confidence in
the notes of the Bank Of England, and q home run

a great improbability. No bank bills are permitted

you that We used thosa Bomb Lances we bought of you, and
found them to be of great peceht in capturing whales amongst
the ice.
The first whal tt t we used the Bomb Lance on was killed
in the following manner The boat went alongside Of the whale
and the boat-steerer fired a Bomb into him and then fastened to
him with a gig iron the Bomb was heard to explode, and the
whale did not blow after the Bomb exploded. The abcve-men-
toned whale was in the ice, and it is our opinion that We should
not have got that whale and many others that we did get, If it
them to the attention of those fitting out whale ships.
