Ti ESI/Al . , JUNE 11. Mr. Alderman ATIC [Ns presented a petition from about 400 persons cm..aged in the Greenland Whale and Southern Fish e- Fit - a, praying that the liar Light Bid might not pass into a Law. Mr. Hot.% ES presented a Report of Ilse C 1111111 l iitee vn the Gas Light Bill; and on the question that the amendment be agreed to, Mr. Alderman Amass opposed the Bill; maintaining, that if this Chartered Company obtained their Rill, it wound be the ruin of the other Compaiiii s, as well as the destruction of the Greenland Whale and Southern Fi•heries, Many of the clauses were most obnoxious, and he trusted the Learned Gentlemen in the House would oppose the whole. The House had to de termine, whether by approving this Bill they would destroy that trade in which a million of .y was engaged, and w 'tether they would throw out of eniploYment ,iO,OOO subject•. Mr. N.

Gilroy was not against increasing the capital front 200,0001. to 400,00 al. but he strongly objected to the Company basing a perpetual charter. They had now a charter for 21 years; he should not object to its being extended to 00 years. Mr. If.

Mint : fills Majesty having been pleased. by his Order in Council of 701 February, C;:to, to direct Comntittee to take into consideration the state of die Coins of this realm, and tae present establishment and con stitution of his Nlajesty's Mint ; the Conunitte... in discharge of their duty, have already submitted to his Majesty, their opinions on some of the points so rrierred to them. A new Nitta has, at their retmmendtition, been erected, and fur nished with a most complete and extensive coining ►pparatus, include ing all the nuxlern improvements, which will, it is presumed, render that establihment more efficient. The report then proceeds to recommend gold coin alone to be the standard ; and observes, that it has hitherto been the practice in hie Majesty's Mint to return to those who import silver for the purpose of has mg it converted into coin, a quantity of coin equal in weight to the quantity of standard silver so importer!, the expense of coining being borne by the public. Si long as the silver coins were considered to be the standard coin of the realm, this principle appear, to this Commit tee to have been a wise one, and they con: Live that it should gill be adhered to in :.aspect of the gold coin. widch is now to be deed:aced the standard coin of the r' lm ; but the Committee are of opinion, that the charge of coining the silver coins, as well as a small allowance. fi:r seignomge, ought to be deducted ; and that his Majesty s'endel be au thorized to direct the Master of his Mint to retain four shillings out of each pound weight troy of silver coin, hereafter to be coined, for the charge of brassage and seignorage, and that the money received for the same, shoold be applied to the public soervice iu discharge of the in terest of the sums expended in the erection of the new Mint, and in defraying the general expellees of the Mint establishment. In thus stating the number of pieces to be struck off from each pound of silver, atd the amount of the sum to be deducted for brarsage and v:imnorage, the Committee have, to the best of their judgment, ebdeaveured to fix on such a rate as will on the one hand be aufliciertly high to protect the new coins, by a small increase of their nominal value, from the danger of being melted down and converted into bullion when the market price of silver rises ; while on the other, it will, they trust, not he found to he so low as to edited any encouragement to the issue of counterfeit coin. if the market price of silver should Shook! your Royal Highness think tit to adopt the plan which the Committee have thus recommended. they think it would be advisable that a suns not less than V 400.1444. in silver coin should artually lie coiner], before any . issue of new coin take place. s is,. 2,00.1.01mL for the use of Great Britain, and soo.noot. for the use of Ireland. It will. however. be nmcssary, bethre any further pro;, , ress can be made in the exec.o'on of a new silver coinage on the r.bure that the legal prohibitions against coining any silver coins of the rvidn , . or altering the weight of such coins, should be repealed ; and with this view• the Committee take leave to recommend, that in the Bill to Fe proposed to Parliament, provision should be made tbr the removal of those prohibitions. The t'ommittee think it right however now to state, as c?inicn, with respect to the silver e.ins at present in circulation, tie • hould be proposed to Parliament to authorize his Majesty, when :cr Le sl:all see fit to cull in sub silver coins, to direct that all such pieces as shall be judged by the officers of the Mint to have been actually coined in his Majesty's Mint, should be received by tale; and that. the holders of the same should receive in rev.irn an equal value by tale of the new silver coins. su.r►trr fIINAGE.
