The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER tot gested the psopri. ty of 'postponing this 801 l until the next Session ot Parliament. He made this suggestion from no unfriendly feeling towards the Bill, but merely because this was' not, he conceived, the most convenient time to consider it.

The Parliiment ought to. leave the 'subjects to regulate the value of money .as of other -commercial articles as they pleased, according c; their Own opinion of their interest. The alteration .of the law. he did out think likely to be injurious to the lantilid . interest. for that interest was not prevented even now 1y ir, from giving more than five per cent. for moo, beriovied. . It might be possible to form a Bill etter thin tr at of the Honourable Member ; bet his Bill was better than the present iaw, and as such he shoold.e.sits:, for it. • • Mr. D. W. HARVEt would. not trouble thi Omni' at length on the subject, but he thought it possibtle ftsr a person opposed to restrictions on the rate of intent yet to oppose - thir Bill. It was a strange feature ;of the, discussion on it that its &distrait* argued to show all, the advantages it woald cooler on ..its opponemil-Abe Goaded interest. It was n' t correct,that, in die - the, Bill should pass, the landed proprietors. , would be, obliged to give a higher rate of interests on ortgages, .for it was known that much money was lett by wills, and deeds of trust,.to be laid °atilt mortgages on land. `there were few simple estates charged with annuities. Any real proprietor of land in perpetuity could ea ily ytet five per cent. on a mortgage by producing his titles, but it was on property mortgaged already to the amount of 75 per cent. that it was difficult to raise money on the legal rate; nor was it w4ndarfill that the proprietor of an e t.te, three-toutths -of which ,wera mortgaged. should.hod it difficult, and be obliged to resort to annuities. The compulsory clause in die Bill made it inoperative—tor, a man borrowing on doubt ful property or personal security at the rate of tea per cent. was obliged to insure hislife, and Intermit this custom and annuities the real amount paid was little. more than sit per cent. As to the security of the law on' annuity creditors, the Jury, if allowed .to decide on the law and the fact, according to the circum.tances of the ewe, would be enabled. to =keg ate very much the .teee rity of the pewit laws Infect, t tilt was a cant BM for legalizing usury. He would' rot allow Money to be 'Alt with another articles r f commerce. Tbehlause of the Bill that allowed the lender to get as much io , tesest as be toutd Wis. and as the bortower would' eo., was nothing le.. than vmptation to fraud by paners in trade. It exonerated the panniers of a M a ni ding money at m ,re thin fire per.. cent. , ham , onwanwetices of the.act.

Then it the bank shonhi break to consequence of debts contracted by the.e tiansactions, that partner would not be liable to the debts of ihe firm. For these and other reasons he should oppo.e t ie Bill. Mr. BRIGHT was opposed to the Bill. Money wits not to be treated as other articles of commerce. .. It a man wanted any other commodity he might get . openly into the market for it ; if he wanted any money he was induced not in expose his wants, but went peaceably tr work. and w4s . expihed, by the urgency of distress, to ,the fraudulent impositions of the moneylender.
