THE COMMERCIAL CRISIS IN ENGL
- LAND.- i ."
, In tho present- state" cf solicitude in re.
gard to things in England, a few remarks
may not be inappropriate.
The &reat drain of specie for food, tho
great increase of engagements to pay mo.
ney .for railroads, and the consequent di
version of the surplus floating capital : of
the country to that object from the, or din
aryuso of trade, and the temporary de.
rangement arising from'ihe changes- in
duties and the removal of restrictions,
have together caused an unusual' 'scarcity
of money for a long period of time. The
severity of the pressure has created alarm
and panic, lessened confidence, and occa
sioned a searching scrutiny' into the - con
cerns of individuals, and revealed tfie con
dition of many unsound houses to ' them
selves ahd to the public.
That the great fall in breadstuff's should
have produced the 'corn failures is natural
enough and it is not surprising that so
long continued a scarcity of money and
prevailing "distrust' should have brought
down rtrge houses who were exlendea,
and whose means were inconvertible, and
wnoso active capital noro na proportion to
their 'encasements.
' This slate of things, bad in itself, has
been made- much worse by exaggerated
statements in letters and newspaper!, and
by the cruue.and contradictory views put
forth as Id the causes and apt ropriate rem
edies of tho commercial difficulties. By
some, and among whom are highly ; res
nectabie names, the 'embarrassments are
attributed mainly to the operation of the
bank restriction law of 1844; by others to
the large expenditure for railroads, and by
many it is believed to be in a great degree
owing to the euects.of the free trade meas
uros.
Whild we can find in the plain and un
deniable causes first mentioned above suf
ficient to account for all that has occurred,
it is singular that the evil should be charged
with $0 much confidence on the operation
bf the bank law of 1844 a tneasure which
has secured tho perfect safety of the. bank
and the soundness pf tho currency, and
deprived the bank of the exercise of a
creat and dangerous power wnicn an ex
perience has fully shown to be productive
onlr of evil. -
For the information of those' who have
not attended to the subpet, it may be sta-t
ted that the bank law of 1844 divided the
Bank of England into two departments
The one. the issue department, is so ; con
stituted as to do nothing but- furnish bank
notes, on thedeposite of Government and
other securities, to an amount limited by
law, and. on deposile of gold to any de
sired extent and to furnish gold on de
posito of bank notes. Any person having
Bank of England notes can always have
gold for thern on demand and any person
having gold may have Bank of.Knglaid
notes for them; so that the great desidera
turn is accomplished of the convenience of
bank notes, whenever aesirej, in preier
ence to specie, and the certainty always
of their immediate convertibility into spe
cie at the pleasure of the holder.
' Thtdiicount debartmezl of the bank is
that which we usually)bcaK the Bank of
Erurlxnd. It has a capital, owns stocks,
receives depositcs, and keeps the account
of the Government; but it haa nothing to
dowithtbo currency- h cannot: get gold
ttut of the issue department without pay
in? for it in bank notes received by it in
the courser of business; nor can it gel bank
noiesj from U with , the exception ; 0 the
fixed issue, without pay ing for them in
gold, the aa roe as any other person niust
do. its power, mereiore, is sirapjy , na
hilitv to lend from the resources thus lira
iteB. Ordinarily it can only lend ; what it
ha comics in. reserving sufficient to meei
the calls of its depositors. Its actual pow
r cannot be ffreat, because its money be
ic usually lent, it can only reloan what
.pires. . Still, so creal wis. its power

used, because commercial engagements
must have, lessened greatly in England
within six months, aod they are r continu-
ng to lessen, so that the actual, demand
for money fur use ia leaking payments
canhot. be very great. - Still we would by
no means recommend the interference of
Government; we think it would be unwise
to make evea a. temporary relaxation a,t a
time, when it might not do harm, because
it might be hereafter done again at.a time
