Lord LIVERPOOL moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Bank Cash Payments Bill. The Noble Lord briefly stated the object of the Bill to be, to enable the Bank to do nov what they otherwise would not have the power to do till May, 182`2. The present power given to the Bank was purely permissive. The Marquis of LANSDOWN intended to offer no opposition to the Bill, which he thought would be productive of much benefit to the Public. It would be of much advantage to the Public, that gold should not be hoarded in the coffers of the Bank, but should be spread over the community at large. But the pre sent measure would not settle the question as to the sups for expediency of a paper or metallic currency, and no decision on that subject had been given by the Bullion Committee. If the adoption of either of the READING SAUCE. I systems would put a stop to the mass of crime that ' had overspread the community, it should be done JoCOCKS,__ the Inventor and Proprietor of the without delay.

By altering many of the Taxes, the Public might be relieved, so as to have substantially the benefit of a Sinking Fund. Various expedients had been pro posed to relieve the public distress. One, from which he recoiled with horror, was to break faith with the public creditor; another, to alter the standard; and the third, and the only practicable one, to reduce the expenditure to the income. In that alone the safety of the country would be found to consist. . Lard LAUDERDALE would recommend much caution to the Bank, in making use of the privilege granted by the Bill. The price of gold had remained stationary for six months, and that shewed them was no fair market. That appeared from the variation irr the value of doubloons, and the value of standard gold should be £3 19s. 7d. instead of £3 14s. 7d.— The point as to what was the best species of cur rency had not been settled by Parliament. Gold could only be got by the exportation of manufac tures, and if it led to that effect a metallic currency was certainly useful to the country. From the pre sent price of silver, he believed that no country held out such an encouragement to coining, as from a silver currency, equally good as that from the Mint, there would be a profit of fourteen per cent. to the coiners. He was as favourable to economy as any man, but he did not see how the establishment could be reduced lower, consistently with the welfare of the country. He did not see that by any reduction a saving would be effected of a million, a half, or even a quarter of a million. At one time he thought a change might have been made in the value of the denomination, when the Bank-note was at 16s. But that time had been allowed to go by. Perhaps silver might be made the standard of value in the country, instead of as at present being a legal tender to the amount of 40s. He entirely concurred in the opi nion of his Noble Friend as to the nature of a Sink ing Fund. Much relief would be afforded to the community by taking off taxes to the amount of the Sinking Fund, and it would also have the effect of rendering the other taxes more productive. He was very happy that the present measure had been brought forward. Lord ICING said, that economy on the part of the Government was the only way to relieve the public distress. Did the House of Commons vote that the public expenditure should be reduced by fifteen mil lions, he had no doubt but that the Noble Lords op posite would, with that reduction, be able to carry on the Government. He thought the measure abso lutely necessary. At the same time he thought the measure should be accompanied with others calcu lated to give it a more effective operation. He was of opinion the exact expense of the coinage should be taken out of it, which would amount to one per cent. and was called brassage. Gold would always be somewhat cheaper in England than on the Con tinent, and we should coin, not only for ourselves, but for all Europe. Lord LIVERPOOL said, that after the passing of this Act, the question as to the greater expediency of a paper or metallic currency, would become much more difficult to determine. Taking all things into consideration, the inclination on his mind was in fa vour of a metallic currency. The evils of over trading and over speculation would be much greater under a paper than under a metallic currency. But he wished to keep his mind open, and should he see cause, he should not be ashamed of changing his opinion. The country, up to 1797, had a metallic currency, and that weighed mUterially with him. For some months back, gold, to the amount of half a million, had come into the country. Since the close of the war, Taxes had been taken off to the amount of 16 millions, which was a great relief to the country. In coun tries such as America, where the taxes were ex tremely small, the distress was greater than with us; and that proved that the distress was not necessarily connected with taxation. Nothing had kept the country in a more feverish state than the continuance of loans in the time of peace. If there was no Sink ing Fund, there would be nothing to meet the ex traordinary demands of the country ; and in that respect, no more had been done by Government than was done by all prudent individuals. Nothing could be more shameful than any attempt to break faith with the public creditor; and it had been justly said by a great statesman, that if a Government could not pay its debts, it ought to say so manfully, and if it could not pay 20s. in the pound, to pay 15s.— The amount of the Half-pay was equal to the whole expense of the country in former times ; and that was a thing that could not be controuled either by Government or by Parliament. It amounted to five millions. - The Marquis of LANSDOWN, the Earl of LIVER- PooL, and the Earl of LAUDERDALE explained. Earl DARNLEY conceived that much reduction must be made in all branches of public expenditure. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that if the whole of the Ordnance Estimates should be reduced, that would not take more than one-third from the Army Estimates. The Bill was then read a third time, and the House adjourned to Monday. FOR TILE USE OF SCHOOLS. • 76is day vras published, prick 7s. bound, the Second Edition of .

A new Writ was ordered for Andover, in the room of T. Asirros Smits', Esq. Petitions were presented from Renfrew, Padstow, and 'eve. ral other places, praying a revision of the Criminal Code. Similar Petitions were also presented from Bristol. A Petition was presented from the Watermen of London, against the London Wharfs Bill. Mr. A BERCRO}IIiI I:. presented a Petition from Kidder minster, praying a revision of the Criminal Laws. Mr. SIIA %V presented .s rctitioti, signed by upwards of :WO Mr. P. MOORE said, he held in his hand a Peti tion from an individual named Fleming, complaining of some reflections which had been cast on his cha racter by an Hon. Member of the House, in the course of a discussion which took place on a Petition being presented on a former night. The SPEAKER said, it must be obvious to the Honourable Member, that as the Petition referred to what had been said within the walls of the House, it could, not, consistent with the valuable privilege of freedom of speech, granted to the House at the com mencement of every Session, be received. After a few words- from Mr. P. MOORE and the SPEAKER, the Petition was withdrawn. Mr. MACKENZIE, alluding to something said by the Member for Shrewsbury on a former night. which he said reflected on some high official charac ters in Scotland, said he was convinced the Honour able Member could not have intended any such re flection, but must have been misunderstood. Mr. BENNETT disclaimed any intention of re flecting on the individuals alluded to by the Honour able Member. General GASCOYNE presented a Petition from Liverpool, praying a revision of the Criminal Laws. Mr. PETER MOORE gave notice that he would, on a future day, again bring forward Mr. Fleming's Petition. Mr. S. COOPER asked on what day? Mr. P. MOORE said, he could fix no day until he had consulted with the party. Mr. BENNETT presented a Petition from an indi vidual, an Officer in the Marines, complaining of great hardships, in being denied promotion, &c. Mr. CROKER defended the conduct of the Lords of the Admiralty. Lord STANLEY presented a Petition from cer tain Merchants of the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, on the subject of the comparative duties on East and West India Sugars, and praying relief for the West India grower. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. EAR HAM, and Mr. RICARDO said a few words on the subject. Mr. BENNETT said, here was another mania rising. We had not yet got the better of the Timber Duties, and now here was a new proposition, to pro- tect the West India grower at the expense of the People. He never would sit silent and hear such doctrines advanced. He would stand up for the Public against such systems, whether they were for the bene fi t of the West India grower, importer, or dealer in human blood and hum an esh (call them what you would) ; or the timber grower, or land owner, or any other class who desired to set up pri vate interests against public good. Mr. GORDON defended the West India Mer chants from the attack made on them by his 11( nourable Friend, who might as well have spared his epithet of dealers in human flesh and human blood. Such epithets would not apply to the sugar growers of the present day. Mr. BARHAM defended the sugar growers. He would ask his Honourable Friend how he could jus tify himself for having described the West India merchants as persons having invested their capital in human blood and human flesh ? He was sure the Honourable Member's own conscience would con demn him for the expression he had used; and he expected the Honourable Member would correct what he had said. Mr. BERNAL was surprised that his Honourable Friend had suffered his warmth to get the better of his good sense, and allow himself to use the expres sion he had done, which was unjust and inapplicable; and he trusted his Honourable Friend would hand somely unsay what he had said, which could only tend to excite a prejudice against the West India proprietor. Mr. BENNETT intended no reflection on any of his Honourable Friends, who had thus attacked him; but he could not retract the opinion he had given-- that the general system of slavery was one of cruelty. Mr. GORDON. said, since his Honourable Friend would not retract what he had said, he wished him in future not to speak on subjects which he could not possibly understand !—(Hear, hear! and laughter). Sir H. WILSON thought the existence of the Slave Trade at all was a disgrace to this country. Dr. LUSHINGTON supported the arguments of Mr. Bennett, and contended that the system of slavery must be a system of cruelty.—Petition received. Lord STANLEY then presented a Petition from Rochdale, praying the interference of the House to put an end to the practice of Bull-baiting. Mr. B. WILBRAHAM supported the Petition, which was received. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then moved the Order of the Day for the House going into a Committee of Supply. Mr. F. BUXTON wished to postpone the second reading of the Forgery Punishment Bill till the 16th instant. He hoped, as he now gave way to the No ble Marquis, the same indulgence would be given to him on the day in question, and that he would not then be charged with having delayed this subject to too late a period of the Session. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY assured the Honourable Gentleman, that, as far as he was con cerned, the Honourable Gentleman should meet with no impediment in his future consideration of this and the other Bills on the subject of our Criminal Laws. Colonel DAVIES then moved for the Salaries and Emoluments of various persons holding situations in the Customs:—Ordered. Dr. LUSHINGTON moved for a number of Pa pers connected with the Slave Trade.—Oi dcred. EUROPEAN POLITICS. On the Motiou-that the ()add of the Day be now
