The erinversetion closed here. • bir NEW PURI' brought forward his motion respecting *first Fruits is Ireland, in the course of which the spoke efibe dilapidated condition of many of the Glebe Houses, alltbe complete neglect of them to other instances. He *abed that the First Fruits' Fund should be sp;tropriated as • lied been oostemplated at its origin. What lie propesed was, that such revenue should he e•pended is promoting the objects for which it vas raised—in the building of new churches, in the purchase of glebe boom's, A l e. • Nr..GOULBURN stid, be was not so well ite (minted with isle sobject as to refer to particular imitanees as to the dispro• I artioned sine of g ehe houses, tic. but what the right lion. baronet proposed, Cu. io rMility • tat on the clergy to the amount of 40.0001. per annum. According to al. he 1101.1 un rtrrsiooJ, be was nut prepared to %fee to such proposition. The present disposition of the fond, and the compositions islrett bad h, en come to, were settled by different acts or Ptr hutment ; nod those acts (of Ireland) had fixed the amounts. Ile denied that the Commissioners u dcr the net of Henry VIII. &c. were appointed t , . examine the salsa of the linings ; .their ducts were to investigate the amount of First Fleets, and to adjust the compositinidi. Ile contended that all the rulisevent acts contemplated the low amounts of the First Fruits sq pti.• ding for compositions --and he denied that they nor less than a loan. Such :node of carrying it into effect be tionsidered that the ministers would have adopted, to order to neutralise opposition; and as there were advantages to be de rived from the sale of these annuities, ought not the public to have had the adtantage. The Busk would derive a profit from the transaction, or they would have nothing to do with the bu siness; why was not such advantage seemed to the public. since it might be so secured. His ground for resisting the bill WAS, in not adopting that plan which would have secured the benefit to th• public. Also because the hank, contrary to the Act of William aid Mary, to become purchaser:amid sellers of public fonds. He concluded with moving as an amendment, that the bill be committed on this day six months. Mr. ROBERTSON seconded the amendment. Sir F. BLAKE, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer might not be considered as quite sure of his uflice for so lung a time, 'called on the right hoe. gentleman not to support this ill- formed. halfthegotten banding of his predecessor. It was • monster of such frightful mien, that, to lie hated, it need bet be seen." He was itgainst the measure althgcto •r ; its object was to throw dust alike into the eyes of Boise who called for reduction of taxes, soil the nitintemince of the Sinking Fund. lie should support the urneothnent. Ms. HUME objected to the plait, because it went to mak• the Batik jol.bers and riveters in politic funds fur the first time, excepting their limited operations regarding Exchequer hills ; utd when it was recollected what means and miscues the hank possessed, end the extent of funded speculations in our times. this would be to give tile batik a dangerous and ruinous power. He also complained that this loan was made matter of private job, Modred of • übhic competition, as heretofore : and that it would infitcl on thus public an annual loss of 60,0001. odd.

Mr. MAEERLEY elm opposed the bill. as giving the bank a monstrous influence, in enabling them to bring Mot the market eleven millions of Mock. No doubt the bank lied calculated the advantage. ' Mr. IiAMINCI also condemned the meithore as most mope°. vident, as calculated to cirovert the bank into stock jobbers, and am • silly.aatt ruinous plan. It wait indeed cakulated to delude and deceive two parties---tliese who denied the reduo ties of taxes, audition" who called-for the support of the Siak lag lead. He had hoped that the Chancellor of the Lachnpater "veld Eno yielded to the opinions of all parties against this Measure. He also bad expected that nothing but Medieval neoesaity would permit the bank to be converted into a stook jobber.
