distress. He supposes that the Ministers are wanting to their duty, becauseowhen the schemes of last year *ere mentioned in Parliament, they did not attend in their plices-in4 givest4igemes and detailed opposition to vie! y one of them" It is, in my opinion, a convenient and seemly season that those who attend to the public business should abstain from taking any part in the dis cussion:and consideration of private measures. Such has been the rule I have adopted for myself. I never gave a voteion any private bill, and I have found it the , safer and more advisable rule. If, on any one occasion, I had reconcikd it to my sense of duty to do otherwise,' that instance might have grown into a practice, and wouldtaire given rise to suspicions unjust and unfound eJ, yet not more so than the charge which I am re-, futing. But there was no neglect on the part of his' Majesties - Ministers in giving timely warning to those who embarked in these enterprises,that ender no circum stances could they look to the Government for relief.— At as early period of the late fever in the public mind, the pariies concerned had notice given to them that if they got into difficulties by their extravagant specu lations no aid could be administered to them. I may historically allude to what passed in the other House of Parliament, where—not'.as giving a vote for or agalnst any particular measure, but as head of the Treasury, my Noble Friend (the Earl of Liverpool) speakieg as the organ of that department of the State and •of the whole Government, early in the month of March, not five weeks after the com mencement of the Session, anti before one Bill of this nature had passed—expressly. find in the clearest and strongest terms, warned those who were running wildly into these speculations, that though it was the essence of this free country that no legislative let should be im posed on the current of individual industry or specula tion, they were entering into undertakings entirely on their own responsibility and risk, and that at was the fixed determination of Government not to give any Parlia- Mastery • aid to relieve them from' any difficulties into which they mightbe plunged by their adventures. As far as the vo;ce of Government was heard,it was undoubtedly heard intelligibly through the country, and the more clearly and intelligibly because the declaration did not grow out of- the opposition to any particular measure, but was fastened, as it were accidentally, on%ome in which Govern ment took no put,and given out fully for general informatioiyand not treasured up for Gush a crisis as the present, which it was to prevent. Unfornutately, that warning was disregarded, sad difficskies have arisen, but it is hard that Government should be charged with not having given due warning tediums who are new suffering from their; imprudence. We were well aware that this topic is that ost which atiouis minds are most intent, and .that in the firs instance iR would Ix and occupy the attention of Parliament. There hes been, L contend, no dentiency in indicating the feelings of Ow' vernment with regard to it. If the part of the Speech relative to this subject be measured even by proportion, it will be found to occupy by far the greatest put of it. The rest is thrown into the elude by mentioning this lint at the outset, and afterward, at the conclusion. It was felt that all men would desire to see how ft was treated, and it awnred to es the most manly and proper course to treat it as most important and urgent topic that P.irliament can have under its ceasideration—(Hear, hear!). — If I were to venture further at this moment, I should be carried into a wide field of debate. The Honourable Gentle man (Mr. Hume) on the opposite beeches had in his observa tions left untouched no topic that bad over been discussed during the late war or the present peace—(A laugh, sad hear!) (Mr. Hansa intimated across the House that he bad net referred at all to the We war)— Well, thee, Sir, if the Hon. Gentlemen has omitted any topics, he has the advantage of being able to recur to them whea.oppnctunity serves t and as I have Do doubt he will find weeasioni . sultable . for their introduction, he can reserve them till the happy time arrives. (A laugh.) I hope be will not tie d. der it disrespect** if for• Ale meow I pfss Over the rest if ►is speech widniut remark. I chnnet, however, avoid noticing the pe collar style •hi which the Hon. Gentleman criticised the King's Speech et this and the preceding yeas. He said of the speech a last year that it was contrary to truth that of this year he de. scribes as Incnnsistent with fact. (A kith.) I confess I do not understand the nice distinction between these propositions, but perhaps the knowledge of logic he has acquired in the distinguished University of which ►e is Lord Rector may Katie enabled him to draw a line of Aliscrintination. (A laugh.) I certainly do net see the difference myself, but in his own way I may retort the expres sions upon him. For example. the Hon. Gentleman says that duce the peace there has •been no reduction of taxation. That assertion, I would say; is contrary to truth. There has been a reduction of stvrtsty-seven millions. (Hear, hear.) But he says that though since the peace there has benne reduction of taxation, during the last five years the reduction has been still less than the preceding five years, that is to say, less than nothing. (laughter.) Now that assertion. I would certainly say. is inconsistent with fact. (Much laughter.) I take these passages as specimens of the Hon. Gentleman's speech, and only advert no them now briefly. as they will probably lay the ground for many future debates, dur ing which I shall bave an opportunity of setting the Hon . Gentle man right in his arguments, as I have now in his facts. .(A laugh.) There was one question put by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Brougham) is which I must reply. Ile asked whether a certain treaty between this country and Brasil, which bars been published in the papen, leas or has not been ratified? I entirely agree with him as to the character of the stipulation to which be referred. There were, however, other stipulations which it was equally impossible to adopt. The treaty was negotiated without ingrocrion%. and contrary to the views of his Majesty's Govern- Meat as to what was fit to be done est the occasion. But though the treaty was negotiated without instructions, if it bad been of an unexceptionable nature it would have been ratified. However, it haa nut be ratified,--it will not be ratified. (Hear, hear.) -2 With regard to a very important question, to which allusions has been made, the revision of the laws affecting the trade in corn, it has been felt, under all the circumstances of the times, that this would net be a convenient Session to have the subject brought forward by hie Majesty's Government." Sir. M. W. at uLgr approved of the principle of letting the notes wise out, but thought that a Bill ought to be passed imme diately to prevent the Bankers from taking a large quantity of stimps on band, and thereby prolonging the time of their circulation. Mr. GURNEY said, no class of men would be more indebted to filiahteri chair Country Bankers, if the currency could be placed on sound principles► but be disebted the possibility of suck an ar ftngernent, wbilitibry hsN odd at 34. 175.1014. to be the standard of value. Sir J. WROTTESLEY was anxious to relieve them(the country bankers) from the opprobrium- which had been thrown on them, by erara t es t marespeeting their issuing notes Ifiyond what were wanted, and which were iss a lnuad es . 'stagy groundless. )Ir. CA LCIIA FT thOqbbt that the lending of monks en meta gage, led . ery much to (Be 'Mishaps and misfortunes which had taken place so eternity. He was sorry that the Mame of suck oc.. daemon bad rested upon •the interned number of country bask noses. The circulation-of IL and a Dank of Zngland notes was proposed as a remedy: but why, in the AM instance, were 11. Batik of Ragland notes restricted. The CH/I IRCEL,I,OR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had already stated his belief that the issue of att country bask notes had contributed to produce the tainting evils, and this observation applied with equal force to the Bank of England. Mr. PASCUE VILENFELL complimented the Amok, i as the manly manner.* at whtch they had come forward the aliss that bad taken place; but he &wetted, that although they Anservird the praise of having saved the commercial reputation of she country, yet be could not my but that they had, in WAN aweettre, *cu. aimed that diner, by the facility which they had alltplid a arcs- Woo, by theyreat issues of their Mr, ALEXANDER BASro considerea it of il.e r e a l e g ilnimmance that aMPIe time should be'afforded • • • Deiefe may . change ; were made affecting the issues of Country ka3tsks..lltetelveii ‘ ; heatimieted l circumstanceb of a dangerous nature coitus:etc . & with the issues of pajama banks s whi.l ll diviihrii4lo-!heakinin tiwac of the Bank of .Tsoglausl.

To get rid of any rival currency was its constant aim. Km this purpose persons had been actually sent by their establishments to markets and fa rs for the express pur pose of forcing their paper into circulation. The prae• tice must have operated principally to produce the mischiefs which bad occurred. The spirit of specula tion which these excessive issues contributed to fo s ter, at length had been carried to such a height, that Bedlam may be said to have bribe loose at the Royal Exchange; Whatever might be thought as to the previous measures adopted by the Busk, and the Hon. Gentleman had doubts as to the propriety of some of them, only one opinion can exist as to the energy and zeal and devo. tion manifested by that establishment when the crisis actually arrived. The great evil of the country was general distrust. The fact now is, that Banks wiJI give credit to no man, and that trade is de prived of its ordinary and legitimate facilities.— Of the amount of Country Bank notes, now in circula tion, it was difficult to form an accurate estirnate ; it might probably be about eighteen . millions. It was, however, important that accurate into, mation should be obtained upon this subject. He did not see what ob jection could exist to a short Bill, compelling country bankers to mate a return of the amount of their paper in circulation. This could not hurt their credit. It was pot as if theywere called on to give an account of their assets. The determination of Government to have the basis of our currency gold, when other nations had been con tent with silver, against the of which the Hon. Gentleman had frequently protested in that' House, greatly increased the danger to be apprehended from our paper currency. There were capitalists in the money market of sufficient power, if their interest should at any time prOmpe--thens td make the attempt, greatly to obstruct and embarrass the Bank in procuring the necessary supplies of gold, if a war or any other public calamity should concur with their efforts...- To remove this danger the Bank should be rendered more powerful by an increase of its capital. In the present situation of that Corporatiun he should, dread the effect of two years of war, if attended w i t h any considerable expenditure. A fresh suspension of cash payments might be the probable result. The Hon. Gentleman congratulated Ilinirers en the success of their policy, with respect to the Spanish and Portuguese Colonies, if it had been less rapid in its march than the feelings of the country would have desired, it pro bably, therefore, agained its end more securely. The Hon. Gentleman here paid the tribute of his highest admiration to the talent with which the Right Non. Secretary for Foreign Affairs performs the - important duties of his department. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, the President of the Board of Trade, would probably have learned, by his recent visit to Parisobat it was not from Francs, still less from any other of , the Continental Powers, that Ragland bad to =peg concerns= l a the. principles of free triage, of which he was so zealous as advocate. If in way quarter, it must be, said the Hon. Gentleman, amongst the infest States of South America, that that concirrenc s is to be expected. With respect to the treaty concluded tinder the Media atlas of Bottled, between Portugal and Brasil, ih the oneed view taken of that treaty he could not coincide. It' appeirE4 Tio him to be a treaty meet calculated.= musts the futile saki of those two States, than their permanent separation. Unless some secret Wide existed, by which the Emperor of Brasil woo**. eluded from the succession to the throne of renewal, (and of pry seek article he knew nothing) what he had described mast belie evident elect of the treaty. Mr. HUSKISSON would beg leave to say, in an swer to those parts of the Hon. Gentleman's speech, in which he repeatedly and urgently called for the speedy exposition of the details of the plan of his Right Honourable Friend, that the question of the surrender of the Bank Chatterito the extent to Whi9h the Directors had agreed to it, had yet to be discussed by the Court of Proprietors; that the discussion could not take place before to morrow ; and that, therefore, no hayseed= of unnecessary delay could attach to the Govern ment. The lobed= was not as his Hon. Friend stated. to with. draw Wide* from circulation a large portion of the cogn-ty paper. It was mg Wended to adopt any means by which the dr. ciliation of eptiatry paper would be totally suspended; but to with. draw gradually from circulation owe and two pound notes, which could not exceed eight millions. It was proposed to withdraw the notes gradually, and supply the defieiency by a tnetallk currency. His Honourable Friend's view of the removal of these ester, was not In klialat e upon the sub' ject, but let the country paper without any nemexachnents, wear itself out. Hb filesourabbr Mend also cotuffieed that some new and important project was iii band for altering the banking ate. blishoteut. It was illegal for any number of partners 'medial six to carry en a banking concern,and enabling Liverpool, Man chester, and ether trading towns to strengthen their banking firms must be highly advantageous. Inasmuch as property would receive more protection. The Rt. Hop. Gent could not see any danger in the proposed measure, but at the same time he should say it would be desirable to allow some reasonable distance from the passing of the Act to the time it shall take effect. The Right Honourable Geetieman thought silt months from the passing of the Bill to the time it came into spondee, would be ample to give everybody as opportunity to avoid illClMlNldellte. Mr. DENMAN had heard pet eulogies bestowed on the Bank Directors: he was more anaemia to promote a change Write bank ing system since he had heard the eulogy pronounced on the Bank Directors by the Right Hen. Gentleman. He thought be might apply to the Bent Directors a well known epigram :—• " To John I owed great obligating, But John unhappily thought fit To publish it to all the nation— So John and I are more than quit." The principal object which he bad in view in rising was to protest most salesunly against the omission in the King's Speech respeeting the earn laws, of which not one word had been said. He was convinced, when it was discovered that no amelioration was likely to take place on that subject, petitions of perishing thousands would crowd the bar of the House; and he would ask were the griev ances of the poorer classes of his Majesty's subjects to be treated indifference and neglect? With regard to the one and two pound notes. he could see no evil likely to arise from their issue, as !once! there was no compoWon to take them. Amerman WOOD said, the miserable weavers of Spitallields were to compete with foreign nations, and his constituents said, put us on a footing with respect to taxation, and we will compete with them. They could nut obtain bread so cheap as foreigners did. He hoped the subject of the Corn Laws would be brought fairly before the HoUse.

Ministers have-pot lost a moment is relieving the country from all uncertainty as to the measures which they have it in contemplation to propose for alleviating the • un exampled distress wbith prevails, and for preventing, as far as human means can prevent, a recurrence of the evils which have so recently tielitted the nation. They have also, with manliness and promptitude, declared their intentions as to the course they are to follow on certain leading points of commercial policy, which cannot too soon be made known. Our Readers will remember that when the late panic raged in the City, and when the Agricultural classes began . to congregate. for the purposes of petitioning Parliament to combine the present restrictions, we stated that such interference was wholly uncalled for, as there was no probability that any legislative measures affecting the Corn trade would be proposed in the course of this Session, the prevailing distress having unhappily superseded the necessity of new enactments. This opinion turns out to be correct, as Ministers have declared that they have no intention at present of pro. posing any Parliamentary measures on the subject of a Free Trade in Foreign Grain. They hay, also resolved to stand by the measures they have already commenced for liberating our foreign commerce from the trammels of monopoly, especially in reference to the Silk Trade. Ia regard to the Treaty with Brazil, they have declared thakcertain stipulations had been entered into without their instructions, and which were not, and could not be ratified. The remedial measures which Government have to propose, relate 'to the security of our currency, and; they ;re two-fold. Taken together, they meet our entire and hearty approbation, as we doubt not they will also reedye that of the country at large. The Bank of England is to surrender its exclusive right, so far as to permit, except within sixty-five miles of London, the establishment of Country Banks, with an unlimited number of partners-..white the issue of one and two pound notes, whether on the pert of the Bank, or of country establishments, Is to be restrained—and this arrangement is to take effect within six nsontbs, We have telt it our duty to maintain, that the extent of country circulation had been very greatly exaggerated. We believe, also, that the country issues were an effect, and not a cause of the late mania for speculation; inasmuch as the drain of capital occasioned by Foreign Loans, must, in spite of every effort of human legis lation, have been counteracted by an increased l.paper currency. We likewise contended, on the clearest principles, that increased security for the solvency of country banks, unaccompanied by a re. straint on the magnitude of their issues, would fearfully aggravate the evil against which itwas intended toasuard. and ultimately drive the precious metals out of circula tion: But by restraining the issue of small notes, combined with an unlimited partnership in private Banks, there can be little question thit increased security will be acquired, arj doubly so, as excessive issues will be prerept:(l.
