POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
No steps have been taken by theGovernment to relieve the pressure on:the Money-market. Mr. SPRING RICE has the subject under consi- deration. No doubt he will say, that the public must not be burdened in order to enable the Bank to sell its Exchequer Bills at a premium : his apologist in the Globe to-night says as much ; but the probability is, that Mr. RICE will nevertheless raise the interest on Exchequer Bills, and thus enable the Bank to contract the circulating medium, and re- lieve the mercantile interest at the same time.
The Dublin banks appear to have stood the run upon them very well ; and confidence is in a great measure restored on the other side of the Channel. The National Bank ( O'CONNELL%) and the Bank of Ireland were not much troubled ; the principal run was upon the Agricultural Bank, against whose credit some false reports had been circulated.
