The proposals arc very much, what might have been expected. The circumstances of the financial position are explained in a plain, f-traightfoisvdid manner, so that it maybe easily undei.-lood ; uhiM the several and various important question-* imolved are dealt with' on broad principle?, and discussed in a femporale manner fiom a common f-en c o point of yicv,\ In the whole Statement th<ne is not a &ingie bid for popularity, according to the culinary signification of the term, nor any attempt at" making political capital by truckling to ignotant prejudice^ or exciting cla'-s animosities.

The Statement is eminently calculated to re-establish tho public credit and restore process at no distant dafco."
