With respect to the conduct of the Batik of England, nothing could have been more utsfel to the tom bankers. Sir .1. NEWPURT thought no time so favourable for carrying into, effect the original intention of Government as the present. Tbepitoposed clause was only a temporary measure waial would lead lea continuance of the evil sought to be cured. So much so, that he did not we how he could support it consistently with the vote he had thought it kis ditty to give on a former occasion. Lord FOLKSTONE depreciated the measure nose introduced. and hoped the House would not try an experiment which wee before attempted, but without success. Mr. SONCK would not supports clause so much at variance with the spirit of the original measure. Mr. BROUGHAM rose to state shortly the ground on which he should give his vote. lie had entertained a hope that the Cheat:Ulm of the Exchequer would have enabled hint to vote for the ineseurn lie could not vote for the clause consistent with the °pinkie and principles on which he supported the Bill. When his nom Priced urged delay for one year the answer was, yea will be as bad at the end of the year as you are now. It was said to be clause to enable tile Bank of Eggland to 611 up the void, which the absence of couutry bank notes might produce. He said net one word against country banters; but with respect to the Bank of Igsgietiff. he elitiuki say, if they went is stamping and signing an unlboked number of notes they would 611 up the void. sad more than the void. The country might be overcharged with paper. The ground en which he supported the Bill had been cut from Wader his feet The" unkindest blow" was given by the fathers et diet OM" le could riot be denied that Branch Banks would give the Dank a facility of circulating their small paper. and - the effect welled be the extendon of the Bank of Ragland small teem 1W melt the country.

" Don't tell me," said tie; Hootntrable Diember, e that there will be a preference of country, lietrk parsec, if that is the case the measure will fall; and on the other band. if these notes—these dread: ul notes, which have already Ken tliir cause of depriving so many human beings of life--be anuo cd to circulate. the same scenes of forgery—the urns mi. PC nine and disgusting scam, will follow." He begged that the House would excuse him for having stated his opinions at so great length; and in conclusion would state, that thought he con. stirred the introducties of the amendment as a great—a very great departure from the original principle and 'mention of the UN, and could not therefore support it, consistently with what he bed binned) , said apd dour, he would nevertheless site his Guerin to the 11171 itself, as being a step—if net a very &reit one— towards restoring a wholesome state of the circulating medium. Mr. lIUSKISSON sail the lion. and Learned Gent. Who had just sat down seemed to think that the Bank of F.ngland bid not the same facility fur issuing U. notes as country banks. A country bank issued its notes in the place where it was es. tabtiAed. and the .circulation of its notes was cotihned to that particular district. The country batik paid any demands made spun it with its own paper, but the Bank of England must troll in return for its Rotes. It was clear, therefore, that the Bank tit England had not the same advantages with r. vett to the circulating of one and two pound notes as the cot.torl• hank; and, under the intended regulation, the Bank of Et,glat d would have to pay in gold not only the notes Circulating within the metropolis, but also throe of the branch banks its the rtoditly. tfr (.fir. liuski , son) was willing to agree with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, that there was a considerable di ninution in the num!y r of one pound country notes, under the op.:ration of the law ; that thini4ution would ,till increase, Uut he, for one. wouki not widi to see the Stank notes too -uddenly withdrawn. The measure most be effected br degrees. There ap peared to be at pre-ent a very great disposition to withdraw country notes futon cirruistion tint if they were withdrawn, how Will the vacuum to ter rupplird ? If all country notes were thus di-posed of, it followed ass natur.ticons• qaence that coontry hankers had the power w it Idt.4 h. useelves of withdrawing their own notes without sobstitutt leg gold. For himself he could answer,that lie never would desire to see more pouted notes in circulation than whets the prohibition by which note* were kis taiddeo to he stamped took erect; but be must say, that we were hound not to he unprepared for an emer gency ; and who could tell but there might he at no very remote retied an occasion to call for that aid which it was the duty of Governinetit to keep in reserve? The lion. and Learned Oen ileitis's had asked, was it provided that the Bank of England, in the event of their establishing branch batiks. should psy their cote* on demand at their respective branches? He (Mr. Hue. kisSosi) bad no hesitation in assuring the Hon. and Learned Gentle 'nen that a prov'sion to that egret should be introduced into the Bill. The Bank of England would not be allowed to establish barks without such an understanding. Again with respect to country notes, and with Ft:feriae* to what had (Ines' from the Hoe. and I.earned Gentleman, country notes of one pound were made pay. aide on demand ; but the case was otherwise with respect to notes c; a Lager value--(No, No, from the Opposition lkoches). He ( Mr. Huskisson) might have been .in error ; but he had certainly lit-srd the Member for Stafford say so; and if it were the case, to w hat a state might not the country he reduced ? Suppose that all one pound notes werewithdrawn from circulation country bankers ought refuse to pay their five pound bolts. Therefore, it be cause doubly necessary for the Governmept to provide agaiost this dagger, by having a substitute at hand, by which it could be averted it there were occasion. The measure was one that in. volved_a great deal, and it therefore became the rutty of Parliament to watch its progress, and examine its details. The husk had no defile to pet sat their "Mitt. They had no craving thirst for gain to faddy. They only seconded the wishes of Government to have a power within its reach of providing against pressure and calamity, if quell ehadd unfortunately visit us again. The Bight Has.

This news is brought by the. Malcolm, which left Madras on the 15th Oct. and brings accounts from Rangoon of the 20th September. A Supplement to the madras Governmext tio• Meer the 15th October, states, that the First Minister of Ava had been senC.clown to the 1-lead-quartets of oar Army to treatfOr pessi, and that an armistice had Win agreed upoti, sOfch was to continue until the 15th of October : on the 2J of this( month,jap!seter o the negocia:ors were to meet, each attensied by s thousaul Men, and treat for mace, which j ai 14g/l k 464 Itattbop.► was consilered as cert.*in. ,; • • iiikisis i gth - tif the debate of last night leaves us little space for comment. It will be seen Chat the measures Ch. improving the state of the currency are so modified, from day to day, as to meet the views of those who look to practical Utility. Mr. Secretary CANNING unequivocally stated, that, ever slate the return to cash payments, the Bank ha.!, over and over again, et deavouted to force a m collie currency into circulation, but in vain. The gold returned on them as fast as it was issued. This demonstrates, in spite of philosophy, the fact, that paper corrency to ,4 great extent is indispensable,it► the manifold operations of daily intercourse, in this great mercantile cuuotty. Tice Bank is to be encouraged to establish branches in count!) , districts—their issues of small tio:es are to be guarded by periodic il returns of the amount in circulation ; and !And Llv►arooL expressed a bnpe that the Bank would consent to the formation of Chartered kinks in those districts in' which they should mot have established a local agency of -their own. As each char ter will, no doubt, be accompanied by a condi• , tiun requiiiii.; publicity as to the amount of the issues, l the combined effect of both will be, not only to supplant ' paper currency of doubtful credit. but to limit the cit., culating medium on the whole within such bounds as ' the state of mercantile operations may reader ilecesary, l Those modifications are very great and evident Im provements, with which the measures now in progress may safely go to trial—experience alone tats decide whether they ate sufficient. But as the whole tut rency of the country is now c• ntempleted to be placed in a state of vigilant supervision, chocked and guarded by publicity, there seems every human probability that while the quantity will not be very -essentially diminished the quality will be decidedly improved— and this seems all that the warmest friend to his country could wish for. It► the mean time we lament to say, that financial distrets has its no degree sob sided ; but we confidently hopq jital better times an at hand. , This forenoon we receivedrAligentefae Zdhrng to the 15th inst. containing intelligence from St. Peers- burgh to the 23 of February; no mention whatever is made of any execution either having taken place or being determined on, although it is said a Committee , of Inquiry has succeeded io discovering all the secrets of the conspirators, and is to divide the guilty into three , classes r--I.
