On the CHANCELLOR of the Exc ISEQUEIt moving the Order of the DAV for the second reading of this bill, Mr. CR EEVEY moved that the second reading should be postponed till the 3d of February. Mr. BR AND and Lord A HAMILTON spoke against the Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER clirectAl the attention of the !louse to the necesssity of the measure now before them. The idea °fa depreciation of the currency was, he remarked, of an earlier date than the Bullion Committee, since Lord King had introduced the subject in • the House of Lords, so far back as the year 1801. In the tear 1811, that noble person had resorted to a rep, which rendered legidative interference indispensible for the protection of the tenantry ache country. They had the evidence of Mr. Monck on thej same site of the question, who said he would not accept of paper at the same rate of value as gold. Mr. Monck was coiner of local tokens, and for his purposes, gold or silver vas much inure useful than paper. He found a sufficient cause for the rise of gold in the vast augmenta tion of our foreign expenditure : and still more in the total interrup tion of the supplies of the precious metals from South America, which M itself was sufficient to account for the advance upon those metals In the market. The Act had arisen out of the provocation of one in. dividual, but for whom they might have been quiet yet, and the necessity for the law never have been raised. It w a s now absolutely tn(lisnensible to protect the subject from grievous oppression ; an d he suS:iiitted th a t t here were stronger reasons for its continuance than even for its being originally passed - , Mr. PONSONSY concurred heartily in the amendment that had b?cn moved Mr. MA usrtsic noticed that the supply of change had been dis c,.;itinued for several weeks by the B:t..k, hut within the last fifteen manths nearly two Millions had been actually issued. About a week ago the Directors had Riven orders for further issues, and were, as they ever had been most desirous to accommodate the public, in so far as was fr.nn the quantity'of silver in the market. He then adverted to !he paper in circulation,and as the returns was not yet hetore the House, there %bit UN Bank notes in circulation yesterday eveninfl THE NA T10N.% T, - REGISTER. 773 amounted to only 22 millions and a litilf.—(llear, hear !) The Bill was neither wiahel for by the Government, or the Bank, which ~unshed no o•hcr protection fur their notes than the confidence-of the people.— it was rendered necessary. by the measure taken by the Nobleman already so often alluded to. By the Restriction Bill of l;1)7, the Landlnrd was protected, hut the Tenant left to vexatios and oppression. His cllocts might he taken for non•;'ayment in a coin he could wit procure, and when sold, the same cau'e operating, and pur chasers bent,: refused who could not buy with gold, hie stock would he di,oosod iit inti►.:tcly under its real value.
