This they were forbidden to do by this under penalty of the pillory; and without being enabled M IM IC: it, how were they to carry on their trade, how were they to procure change to pay their fractional parts of checks ? If, however, this Bill w s considered so good a Bill by those who supported it, why was it not extended to Irelaud ? Why were the landlords in Ire land to be allowed to insist tin their rents in gold, which the landlords in Great Btitain.were forbidden .to do, unless upon the most vicious principle in legislation, that the crime, as it was row to be called, was so frequent in Ireland, that it was in vain to attempt to cheek it ; and that it having only just commenced in England, it was to he met by a legislative enactment ? It was qbiolutely necessary that some steps should be taken to restore that sound and healthy state of circulation, without which the credit of the country could not long be maintained, and to place the paper currency of the country upon its only sure and certain basis, that of gold e • The Earl of LIVEit POOL could not allow the question to pass without observing on some of the statements of the Noble Lord. The value of' the gold coin of this country was not to be esti mated according to its weight in gold, but according to the value fixed upon it by, the reigning Sovereign of the country.— The value'of Bank notes, as for every purpose of internal nego tiation, he contended, was by the general consent of the coun try, declared not be depreciated. There were no persons out of thg Houle who had repressed their opinion, that the conduct of the'Noli'.e Lord who had riven rise to this Bill, was so far proper, thet they , hemselves would wish to follow his example; and their not foliowirg it was- a proof that they did nut think any depre.i.7lqon of our Bankpaoer had taken place.

The Nohlk Lord was bound to take them as they peached, not as they practised. fEarl.S•raltuorr strongly supported the opinion he had for merly de ivertd, and in which he was happy to find the Nob:e Earl ( Liverpool) concurred, as to the cause of the value affixed to the current coin of the coutitry. It was only by violating the law,svhich prohibhed the turning guineas into bullion, that the value of a guinea could be.• rah:td above that conferred on it by the Proclawat km of the or the Act of the Leislettire.
