As we anticipated yesterday, the Bank of England has at length acknowledged the diminished value of money, and the accession of bullion, and has reduced the rate of discount by 2 per cent., the current rate being now 8 per cent., although the discount houses are taking good paper at 6. The whole tendency of monetary and commercial affairs, both in this country and on the Continent, is in the direction of improvement, and it is consequently by no means improbable that a still further reduction will be speedily made. Commercial affairs in America are also improving. The markets are necessarily dull, from the circumstance that operations for the spring trade have been completed and it is yet too early for the summer business. It is also too much to expect that the fearful crisis through which the country has passed has in its effects been entirely overcome. Confidence, however, is fast being recovered and the resumption of specie payments by the Banks is only another , although a very gratifying indication, of the advent of a better state of matters. The Board of Trade Returns, which were issued yesterday, are upon the whole satisfactory. The condition of trade is vividly apparent in the falling off during last month to the the less than £1,987,860. as compared with the same period last year. On the eleven months of the present year there is a considerable increase. It amounts to no less than £9,161,565. Gratifying as this is, the increase is by no means in proportion to the expansion of trade during last year. Later telegrams received from Alexandria relating to Indian affairs, while they confirm the glad tidings of the relief of Lucknow and the safety of the garrison, modify in some measure the previous intelligence, and supply a few additional particulars. The 22,000 men which the Foreign Office despatch placed under the command of Sir in that of the Times dwindled down to little more than half. We are inclined to that the smaller is the correct number, considering that there were only 5,000 men under GRANT and that the marched from Cawnpore with a force somewhat numerically inferior.

The total decrease in the deolared value of our exports during the last month is no less than £1,987,860., as compared with the corresponding month last year. It appears, how ever, that upon the eleven months just passed there is an increase of £9,161,565. The deorease during the last month affects nearly every branch of trade, and has been seriously felt by the manufacturing interests of this district.

In connection with the exports of our produce we find the following in an article i n the New York Times of the 12tli of December, just received by the Fulton, relative to the commercial relations between France and tho States apropos of the new tariff. It is said -More important than the cotton growing question is the growing question of the trade in iron. The iron production of this country is now entering upon the most critical period of its history, and it should be an object of the first consequence to our statesmen to provide for the proper expansion of its commercial capabilities. The French duties upon iron are practically prohibitive of the French frontier, except on the bi stretches from Blauc-Misseron to Mont Genevre, where the duty falls three francs per 100 kilogrammes. Every branch of French industry feels the paralysing effects of this weight upon its development, for iron is no less essential to the circulation of the whole industrial body than to the vital circulation of the human system. Wo have dwelt upon the trade in cotton and in iron with specific remark because of tho leading importance of these articles to the export commerce, present and future, of the United States, as well as the industry of France, but it is impossible to glance over the schedules of French commerce without per ceiving that the whole trade of France with this country is susceptible of a very great legitimate expansion under the operation of a more liberal commercial system. inquest was opened on the body of this gentleman at the Globe Hotel, Warwick, yesterday, before S. W. Haynes, Esq.", "prediction": "man, who had been found", "reference": "in 1856. Mint duties, levied only in the three great Presidencies, declined from £149,719. in the former year to £78,711. in 1855 but in 1856 they rose to £195,986. The tobacco monopoly, limited to Madras, produced only £63,162. in 1853, and declined to £8,958. in the following year, since which it has not been collected. There are some miscellaneous taxes collected in all the provinces, the aggregate produce of which is annually diminishing in 1853 they yielded £2,060,384., and in 1856 only £1,369,892. The total gross revenue of each province last year was as follows Bengal, £13,019,430. North West Provinces, £6,260,006. Madras, £5,287,329. Bombay, £4,953,172. Punjaub, £1,297,591. If the taxation which a country will bear is a fair criterion of its prosperity, as it is generally admitted to be, the condition of the masses in India, judging from the returns, must be deplorable indeed.

A discussion, which occupied some time, afterwards ensued upon a motion by Mr. .effect that in order that members of the force who wer called as witnesses might not l e deterred from giving free and candid evidence, the Chief Superin tendent be suspended during the enquiry. In submitting this resolution, Mr. Goodricksaid he was actuated by no hostile feeling towards Mr. Stephens, but simply by a desire that the mem bers of the force who might be called before them should not feel themselves under any influence or restraint. -Alderman Lloyd seconded the motion, and remarked that he thought they had gone far enough into the enquiry to justify them in adopting the course proposed by Mr. Goodrick.-Mr. Smith sin cerely hoped the resolution would not be adopted, inasmuch as the fact of the suspension of Mr. Stephens would give rise to an impression on the public mind that a proof of guilt had already been established.-Mr. E. C. Osborne also opposed the motion, expressing his belief that the suspension of Mr. Stephens would be most injudicious, inasmuch as the moral control he possessed over the force woul-l be seriously impaired. He moreover asserted that the committee were not justifiedjat so early a stage of the enquiry iu taking such an abrupt step.-Mr. Brown thought that if it was deemed proper that Mr. Stephens should be suspended, he ought to have been suspended at the outset, and he did not see how they could reasonably or rightly suspend him now.-Mr. Dee consi dered that now was the proper time for discussing the question.-Mr. Cutler concurred in the view taken by Mr. Brown. If they suspended Mr. Stephens now, the public would naturally impute guilt to him. As to the suggestion of the influence which the pre sence of tiieir chief officer might have upon the members of the force, he did not think that the officers who had already been examined had evinced any reserve or trepidation. Alter some further discussion, Mr. Goodrick, on the suggestion of the Chair man, agreed to defer his motion until the enquiry was further advanced.

I have spoken to two of the senior Inspectors since, but at present I cannot make any progress. It is my decided wish to carry out the wish suggested.

C. OSBORNE, Alderman Manton was unanimously elected Chairman pro tem., and it was afterwards resolved that Alderman Hodgson's letter be received and entered on the minutes. A discussion, which occupied some time, afterwards ensued upon a motion by Mr. effect that in order that members of the force who were called as witnesses might not be deterred from giving free and candid evidence, the Chief Superintendent be suspended during the enquiry. In submitting this resolution, Mr. Goodrick said he was actuated by no hostile feeling towards Mr. Stephens, but simply by a desire that the members of the force who might be called before them should not feel themselves under any influence or restraint.-Alderman LLOYD seconded the motion, and remarked that he thought they had gone far enough into the enquiry to justify them in adopting the course proposed by Mr. Goodrick.-Mr. SMITH sincerely hoped the resolution would not be adopted, inasmuch as the fact of the suspension of Mr. Stephens would give rise to an impression on the public mind that a proof of guilt had already been established.-Mr. E. C. OSBORNE also opposed the motion, expressing his belief that the suspension of Mr. Stephens would be most injudicious, inasmuch as the moral control he possessed over the force would be seriously impaired. He moreover asserted that the committee were not justified at so early a stage of enquiry in taking such an abrupt step.-Mr. BROWN thought that if it was deemed proper that Mr. Stephens should be suspended, he ought to have been suspended at the outset, and he did not see how they could reasonably or rightly suspend him now.-Mr. DEE considered that now was the proper time for discussing the question.-Mr. CUTLER concurred in the view taken by Mr. Brown. If they suspended Mr. Stephens now, the public would naturally impute guilt to him. As to the suggestion of the influence which the presence of their chief officer might have upon the members of the force, he did not think that the officers who had already been examined had evinced any reserve or trepidation. After some further discussion, Mr. Goodrick, on the suggestion of the Chairman, agreed to defer his motion until the enquiry was further advanced. Mr. Stephens, who had not been present during these proceedings, was then called in, and the enquiry was proceeded with. The CHAIRMAN read the following letters, which were referred to by Mr. Stephens in his evidence on the previous day, which had been forwarded to the committee by Alderman Hodgson. The first is from Mr. Stephens to Alderman Hodgson, and bears no date Sir,-Rumours having come to my knowledge within the last few days that I retain a sum of money collected for the Crimean Fund, and as you are the gentleman to whom the enclosed correspondence refers, I beg to forward you the amount, and much regret that I could not carry out your wishes.-I am, Sir, c., R.

Mr. Stephens I have no recollection of doing so, but I have no doubt of it from the practice of my office. Is the letter produced the only communication you have received from Captain Fishbourne ? Mr. Stephens It is. The Chairman You say you received no communication from Mr. Morgan, the local secretary of the Patriotic Fund.

Mr. Stephens No. The accounts are not closed at this present moment I am informed that there are hundreds of pounds still in hand. Mr. Osborne remarked that Mr. Stephens, in his evidence at the former meeting of the committee, said the money was paid over to Mr. Hodgson five or six weeks ago, and wished to ask if Mr. Stephens could say whether this was before or after that enquiry was proposed, or some conversation had taken place upon the subject. Mr. Stephens I will not say, but I believe it was after Aider-man Lloyd had some conversation with me I cannot speak positively.

He knew of no other constable receiving any money for their services at the Hall, except himself and Ballance. The Chairman How came Mr. Glossop to give you this money ? Mitchell explained that on the occasion referred to, which was several months after the sales, he and Ballance were in the Chief Inspector's Offices when Mr. Glossop came in. Ballance asked Mr. Glossop if there was anything coming to the men who attended at Aston Hall. Mr. Glossop asked Ballance how much he considered due to him, when Ballance replied £1., Rnd added, If you will give me half of it you shall have the remainder. Mr. Glossop laughed and then gave Ballance lfts. out of Ills own pocket. He Mitchell, afterwards made a similar offer to Mr. Glossop, who wave him 5s. on account of his share. He afterwards told Long and Detective sergeant Dutton that he had received some money from Mr. Glossop. and they both expressed a wish that he would do the same by them. He Mitchell, preferred accepting the instalment to being kept waiting longer for his money, and he fully intended Mr. Glossop to have the benefit of the remainder. At that time he understood some money had been paid to the Chief Superintendent for the remuneration of the men attending the sales. The pro prietors of the Hall found refreshments for the constables during the day, and also a dinner in the evening, at an inn in the Aston Road.

RUSSIA. 17th.-The St. Petersburg Gazette has lately been publishing a series of articles upon The Mission of Russia, in reply to some of the English journals, which had acoused that power of a design to assume an aggressive attitude in Asia. It sums up its arguments as follows -Just as the mission of civilising Southern Asia belongs to England, so that of civilising Northern Asia belongs to Russia. Siberia is a slumbering giant, whose strength will not be manifest until he awakes. Throughout the southern frontier of Siberia, the Ural Mountains, and as far as the Pacific Ocean, we require roads to enable us to trade with Southern Asia. The exchange of the products of the north with the riches of the south, and that animation which flows from trade and manufactures, will give life, move ment, and a greater population to the north. This is no castle in the air, no plan conceived with any selfish object it is but a demand for the normal development of civilisa tion itself. To attempt to stay that development would, indeed, be to form an aggressive power in Asia, and any such aggression would end in the destruction of the power attempting it, and not in that of Russia.

The commercial statistics of the Board of Trade for November have been issued to-day. The apprehension of commercial danger had already made itself felt during the month of October, when the increase in the value of exports, which in July was £2,233,306. in excess of the same month in 1856, fell to an increase of only £318,838., compared with October, 1856. But in November there is no mistaking the influence of the commercial crisis, as the following comparison will show decrease of exports to the United States is a very striking item in the tables the above account are included twenty-one of the prin cipal articles of British manufacture, but if all had been enumerated the contrast between the two periods would have been still more striking. Mr. Cobb, the United States Secretary of the Treasury, estimated the decline of imports in the Union at 25 per cent, during the next few months but here we begin by diminished shipments to the extent of 60 per cent. If this restraint can be maintained for two or three months longer, the return of an active and pros perous trade with the States will come round all the more quickly. The following are the most important variations during the month in the exports to the United States during November, 1856 and 1857 Earthenware has fallen off from £57,000. to £20,000. value. Haberdashery from £105,000. to £17,000. Cutlery and hardware from £139,000. to £61,000. Linens from £251,000. to £47,000. Pig iron from £16,400. to £4,700. Bar iron from £102,000. to £62,000. Wrought iron from £56,000. to £29.000. Steel from £51,000. to £14,700. Sheet iron and nails from £13,000. to £33. Lead from £5,000. to £35. Tin plates from £102,000. to £9,000. Woollen cloths from £53,000. to £11,000. Other woollen goods from £137,000. to £26,000. Cotton goods from £482,000. to £129,000. Tho oourae of trade to Australia is not substantially so satisfactory as that with America, although the latter ex hibits a large deoline of exports. The latest accounts from Melbourne show that the import market was not by any means in a favourable state, yet notwithstanding this has for some time been the tenour of the advices, shippers here, even during the November season of panic, were sending in supplies to the Australian market on as large a scale as ever. It is doubtful if there is not on the aggre gate a considerable inorease in the exports to that market. The following itoms were undoubtedly larger in November than in the same month last year Cotton goods, earthen ware, hardware and cutlery, wrought iron, lead, silk goods, British spirits, and woollens.

The commercial statistics of the Board of Trade for November have been issued to-day. The apprehension of commercial danger had already made itself felt during the month of October, when the increase in the value of exports, which in July was £2,233,306. in excess of the same month in 1856, fell to an increase of only £318,838., compared with October, 1856. But in November there is no mistaking the influence of the commercial crisis, as the following comparison will show decrease of exports to the United States is a very striking item in the tables the above account are included twenty-one of the principal articles of British manufacture, but if all had been enumerated the contrast between the two periods would have been still more striking. Mr. Cobb, the United States Secretary of the Treasury, estimated the decline of imports in the Union at 25 per cent. during the next few months but here we begin by diminished shipments to the extent of 60 per cent. If this restraint can be maintained for two or three months longer, the return of an active and prosperous trade with the States will come round all the more quickly. The following are the most important variations during the month in the exports to the United States during November, 1856 and 1857 Earthenware has fallen off from £57,000. to £20,000. value. Haberdashery from £105,000. to £17,000. Cutlery and hardware from £139,000. to £61,000. Linens from £251,000. to £47,000. Pig iron from £16,400. to £4,700. Bar iron from £102,000. to £62,000. Wrought iron from £56,000. to £29.000. Steel from £51,000. to £14,700. Sheet iron and nails from £13,000. to £33. Lead from £5,000. to £35. Tinplates from £102,000. to £9,000. Woollen cloths from £53,000. to £11,000. Other woollen goods from £137,000. to £26,000. Cotton goods from £482,000. to £129,000. The course of trade to Australia is not substantially so satisfactory as that with America, although the latter exhibits a large decline of exports. The latest accounts from Melbourne show that the import market was not by any means in a favourable state, yet notwithstanding this has for some time been the tenour of the advices, shippers here, even during the November season of panic, were sending in supplies to the Australian market on as large a scale as ever. It is doubtful if there is not on the aggregate a considerable increase in the exports to that market. The following items were undoubtedly larger in November than in the same month last year Cotton goods, earthenware, hardware and cutlery, wrought iron, lead, silk goods, British spirits, and woollens. The alleviation in the Bank rate had for several days been regarded as inevitable, and its influence was therefore already discounted when the announcement was made to-day. The Funds were consequently scarcely affected. Consols opened with firmness at 93⅛ to ¼, continued steady during the day, and closed at about 93¼ sellers. The Railway Share Market has been inactive to-day, and prices without any alteration worth mentioning. In Satterthwaite's Weekly Circular it is stated that the market for American securities in London has been steady during the week.

On the first of the new t ear the provincial deputations are'to pioceed to the division of their respective provinces into electoral districts, consulting exclusively in t 1 8 the convenience of the electors, and advertising them of the divisions adopted on the Oth of the same month in the official bulletin. On the 8th the lists of the voters are to be posted up for the term of fifteen days in the usual public places. All reclama tions with respect to the right of voting are to be decided iby the 26th of the month, and communicated to the cor. porations before the 30th, iti order that the lists may be rectified. On the 1st of February the elections are to commence, and to be conducted in the manner prescribed by the Electoral Law. On the 12th of said month the general scrutiny is to take place in the capital of each province and the result immediately communicated to the Minister of the Interior. The number of new sena tors to be elected at the same time is 46, and 241 depu ties, with 100 suplentes or substitutes. Nothing could be fairer thau tho instructions of the minister to the autho rities for conducting those elections. In a separate pa ragraph, addressed to the political chiefs, he states as fol lows - . , ' On the first of the new year, as soon as the provincial deputations are installed in office, the proceedings prepa ratory to the election of senators and deputies are to be commenced. The accompanying order of the Provisional Regency of the kingdom will iuform you of the measures which they have adopted for carrying the electoral law into effect and if • the nation was never con-aulted in more critical circumstances than the present, it is the more necessary that the people should huve the most complete freedom in exercising their electoral rights. It is but right and necessary that a Cortes called to de cide upon questions of vital impertance to the country should fairly represent it for without this the govern ment can neither acquire strength, proceed in a firm course of policy, or effect the good of the people, as their present situation und the errors of their former rulers re quire. Without the most complete freedom ol election it would be in vain to seek these advantages.' I need not proceed with the remainder of these in structions, which are totally free front those objections so oftcu witnessed und complained of in former documents of this description. If we are to judge from the elections of corporations and provincial depurations which have just terminated, the contest cannot be very great, or doubtful I mean, of coarse, as to the majority being of the liberal party. While alluding to dec-lions, 1 may observe that you will sec in the opposition pipers of Madrid much noise made ..bout the paucity of electors in the municipal and depu-iitiouul elections. Some of them, indeed, go so far as to ,nfer from this fact, that the persons elected cannot re present the opinions of the people, because the whole population did not turn out and put themselves to the wery absurd trouble of voting where there was no contest. If I have not been too long out of England to forget its usages in these matters, no one there, I believe, would say that a member of Parliament did not represent his constituents because there was no contest to induce the whole or a majority to go through the 'o.-tn of giving their votes. On the contrary, the ab-aeneff of a contest, or of actual voting, would be taken as a proof of the unanimity of popular suffrage, and the of popular representation. 5 et you will find that the Absolutist statistical gentlemen of the Madrid and Paris opposition press will assume exactly the con trary and declare that the new deput.es will no represent fhc people, should there be no contests. At all events tt tesU wTl, writers ol this schoo to show good reason why their political friends or party do not takc part in the.e elections. I have given the'rue reasons of tins in former lettert, ami need not repeat them. . .

On the first of the new year the provincial deputations are to proceed to the division of their respective provinces into electoral districts, consulting exclusively in this act the convenience of the electors, and advertising them of the divisions adopted on the 6th of the same month in the official bulletin. On the 8th the lists of the voters are to be posted up for the term of fifteen days in the usual public places. All reclamations with respect to the right of voting are to be decided by the 26th of the month, and communicated to the corporations before the 30th, in order that the lists may be rectified. On the 1st of February the elections are to commence, and to be conducted in the manner prescribed by the Electoral Law. On the 12th of said month the general scrutiny is to take place in the capital of each province and the result immediately communicated to the Minister of the Interior. The number of new senators to be elected at the same time is 45, and 241 deputies, with 100 suplentes or substitutes. Nothing could be fairer than the instructions of the minister to the authorities for conducting those elections. In a separate paragraph, addressed to the political chiefs, he states as follows On the first of the new year, as soon as the provincial deputations are installed in office, the proceedings preparatory to the election of senators and deputies are to be commenced. The accompanying order of the Provisional Regency of the kingdom will inform you of the measures which they have adopted for carrying the electoral law into effect and ifif the nation was never consulted in more critical circumstances than the present, it is the more necessary that the people should have the most complete freedom in exercising their electoral rights. It is but right and necessary that a Cortes called to decide upon questions of vital importance to the country should fairly represent it for without this the government can neither acquire strength, proceed in a firm course of policy, or effect the good of the people, as their present situation and the errors of their former rulers require. Without the most complete freedom of election it would be in vain to seek these advantages. I need not proceed with the remainder of these instructions, which are totally free from those objections so often witnessed and complained of in former documents of this description. If we are to judge from the elections of corporations and provincial deputations which have just terminated, the contest cannot be very great, or doubtful I mean, of course, as to the majority being of the liberal party. While alluding to elections, I may observe that you will see in the opposition papers of Madrid much noise made about the paucity of electors in the municipal and deputational elections. Some of them, indeed, go so far as to infer from this fact, that the persons elected cannot represent the opinions of the people, because the whole population did not turn out and put themselves to the very absurd trouble of voting where there was no contest. If I have not been too long out of England to forget its usages in these matters, no one there, I believe, would say that a member of Parliament did not represent his constituents because there was no contest to induce the whole or a majority to go through the form of giving their votes. On the contrary, the absence of a contest, or of actual voting, would be taken as a proof of the unanimity of popular suffrage, and the of popular representation. Yet you will find that the Absolutist statistical gentlemen of the Madrid and Paris opposition press will assume exactly the contrary, and declare that the new deputies will not represent the people, should there be no contests. At all events it vests with writers of this school to show good reason why their political friends or party do not take part in these elections. I have given the true reasons of this in former letters, and need not repeat them. Our intelligence from Portugal, with respect to the Douro question, continues to be sufficiently warlike and ridiculous. The noise about levies and mounting old cannon is truly appalling and absurd. But these good people would appear to have gained in national pride and soreness what they have lost of ancient and solid greatness. It would be hard to say, indeed, whether the absurdity of the imprudent threats of Spain, or of the idle preparations of defence of Portugal, be the greatest."} {"ocr_input": "From Badajos we have news that the Portuguese had actually ceased to visit that place, and that forts were being repaired at Elvas amt along the frontier. 1 presume there is much village alarm and misrepresentation in all we hear about the matter just as there is about a few regiments being i-an'oncd in Toledo and Talavera-a measure which I believe h no connection whatever with any intention ol Portugal.

Now, any accession of territory or influence there would excite almost as much difficulty and danger as similar ambition on the Elbe or the Rhine.

Neither of these schemes is feasible, simply because the world is too much awake. The Levant was a terra incognita twenty years ago, where any Power almost might plant its standard. Now, any accession of territory or influence there would excite almost as much difficulty and danger as similar ambition on the Elbe or the Rhine. Had England any ambition or selfish views, or did any English statesman entertain such for her, these are checked and cut short by the late events quite as much as the ambition of other Powers. Exclusive advantages in the Levant are now not to be sought or obtained by the Powers of Europe. What an immense guarantee of peace is there in this addition to the public law and right of Europe! We feel that any plot or alliance for the purpose of setting aside this public right, and breaking through the laws of Europe, is first of all not to be dreaded as possible, nor, were it possible, could it be successful. The French journalists, who idly talk and none but journalist do talk of it of an alliance between France and Russia, mean an alliance the result of which would be France taking the frontier of the Rhine, and Russia taking Constantinople. Now, we do not believe that any French and Russian statesmen would sign cannot protect the people from courts determined to set it at defiance, trusting to the difficulty of distinguishing between venial and criminal fallibility. The only remedy worth anything is to abolish such court, root and branch."} {"ocr_input": "In the resolutions agreed on at the Monmouth meeting, it is stated that the Ecclesiastical Court of Llandaff, which has been in the habit of issuing citations for small amounts of tithe, has displayed a want of respect for the laws of our country, and ex ercised a power dangerous to the liberty of the sub ject, which ought not to pass with impunity.

The Author of Reflections on the Currency says his owa opinions on the currency are, that it ought to be regulated by operating upon the rate of interest, and not upon the amount of circulation. Without attempting to tollow his reasonings, we would briefly remark that they contaio nothing new upon the point, and that Mr. Tooke was unable to support the same theory before the committee. The questions and answers at pp. 356 and 357 of the Re port show that it would be impossible to arrest the drain of bullion by means of any rational operation on the rate of interest. Mr. Tooke, in attempting to show that it could be done by such means without diminishing the amount of notes in circulation, was involved in a labyrinth of contradiction, from which he could not escape, and the Author of Reflections on the Currency does not make the theory, which really belongs to Mr. Tooke, and not to him, one iota stronger. It is in accordance with common sense that in proportion as the bullion leaves the Bank the directors ought to diminish the amount of paper which they have in issue convertible into gold.

Of his success there is no doubt, and the Tory gentleman who has been reconnoitring the ground is now satisfied, we presame, that he might have spared himself the trouble.-Scotsman. watch committee and the magistrates have taken into their consideration the application of Colonel MOLYNEUX, of the 8th Hussars, as to the police of the city having a general order to salute him when they meet him in the street, and though it is the wish of the mayor and magistrates, and also of the watch committee, that a proper courtesy should be shown to the gallant colonel and to the officers of the regiment by the police force and they think that, as the colonel wishes it, the courtesy of lifting their hats might be extended , yet they feel that no order can be made to that effect such as would go to exclude a man from the force who should not comply with the demand of the colonel. There can be no doubt but the extraordinary manner in which the complaint was made, has subjected the gentleman who could make it to the sport of the citizens during the merry-makings at Christmas, for they seem in a universal titter about it but the individual desire of the magistrates is unquestionably that the deference should be shown. No doubt they feel that to make an order in the business would subject them also to no small share of public ridicule.

If, however, the committee on banks of issue should not call for the continuance of those weekly returns, or should they be discontinued after they have fulfilled the object of their appointment, the Gazette returns would be again necessary to carry on the calculations, and it rests with our correspondent in Coventry to say how far they could be relied on. The Author of Reflections on the Currency says his own opinions on the currency are, that it ought to be regulated by operating upon the rate of interest, and not upon the amount of circulation. Without attempting to follow his reasonings, we would briefly remark that they contain nothing new upon the point, and that Mr. Tooke was unable to support the same theory before the committee. The questions and answers at pp. 356 and 357 of the Report show that it would be impossible to arrest the drain of bullion by means of any rational operation on the rate of interest. Mr. Tooke, in attempting to show that it could he done by such means without diminishing the amount of notes in circulation, was involved in a labyrinth of contradiction, from which he could not escape, and the Author of Reflections on the Currency does not make the theory, which really belongs to Mr. Tooke, and not to him, one iota stronger. It is in accordance with common sense that in proportion as the bullion leaves the Bank the directors ought to diminish the amount of paper which they have in issue convertible into gold.
