IIt:ME called the attention of the House to what he considered :td instance of disregard to the pub lic busine's on the part of the liavernuorat. A new Stamp (Ace being wanted, a Gentleman woo( appoint ed to Search for a coaeeniest, building, in which the Nosiness Ise the stamp department could be carried on. Hoch a place was, accordingly., found in s convenient situation, but Ministers, in corder to Eaves An imlivi (h t .1, had, notwithstanilitq the rcrommenelAtions of the LlJar(l of Sumps avid the IlloArl of W'.trL•s In i:s &year, decided on blindly' a sew Ace la aloe ap propriate shoflies, with fewer counuioucin se ft a greater eepenee. To him this appeared to be tong the greatest jobs that had ever cease widths hie recol lection. The only person he believed that had is the Ant lostance ventured to recommend the sitaatioa pre torred, was a grocer of the name of Johnson; bet the work having been beren early in ISIS, in lON Led Melville had remised it, and proaosseed the build lag to be suitable. This was stated, bat this might he a gratedt•es assertion on the part of the Honour able Baronet who had advanced It. The work bad bees examined also by the Lord Advocate, aid on the eighties* of Lord Melville, the Lord Advocate. sad 'Atoms the greeter, it had bees carried on, is app.- Alen to the reeommeadatios of the Board of Stamp. He teeth occasion to notice another lastasee of noel gooey es the part of Chavernment, where the pahlk Serest was concerned. The revenue of Seotlaall, amounting to 3,000,000 t, had bees transmitted to this country by tercels Bankers, at forty days. A friend of hi. bad offered to transmit it at twenty, aid to give Bieheqeer Bilis in advance, or say security that might be required. This however had mot been attended to, and the others having come down to 30 der, the Chancellor of the Bichequer had left the be sines, in their handy, and thus a less was sustained by the country. The new Stamp ()Sleeted bees said to have been built in a more centrical situation than that whkh had first offered. He denied that such was the fact. What would the inhabitants of Leaden thuds of an °Mee being built in Whitechapel to secure the advantages of a centrical situation. If suck an erec tion were to be made at the beginning of Whitechape . , near the Misories, it would have as good a claim to be considered centrical as the new Stamp Oleo had in Edinburgh. The house Ant offered had a bandied feet of ground belonging to it, on which any belldiag might be raised that should be thought necemary...-- The spot finally chosen had nut a foot of ground be longing to it behind the building, and it was liable to he built close op. To prevent this be umberstood IWO guineas had recently been paid. An Homme -1 able Baronet had engaged to purchase the gonad f..r 1 • notch smaller sum ; bat be understood the Chance:- be of the Exchequer, with much good nature towares him, but with little regard for the public purse, lia4 .assented to let him off, and hail not held him to h.l agreement. The building had been coestrneteil, nut seder the Crown Surveyor, but under a Mr. Elliot, who was employed on the recommendation of the Co':- tractor. The building had cost 9,100/., and, adding le this other charges, with the thousand guineas :S be had mentinned, the total expence was upwards o: I t,ooof. Drumbeck's Hotel, the situation previously offered, might have been had rot 7,800/., so that .t need he seen a loss of four or five thousand pounds had been sustained. Besides this, the transfer of V.:, bailees+ from the Stamp Office had been deferred fur three year., in order to obtain at last inferior were inodation •at a greater expence. He coneisded by moving a Resolution, declaring, that It appeared to the Howie that great irregularities had taken place in ronueetion with the building of the new Stamp Mite its Edinburgh, and particularly in the appointment of a surveyor by the contractor, and in carrying on the works contrary to the opinions given by the Board e! Stamps and the Board of Works, and in the purchase of the ground adjoining the said building. Sir J. SIAJORI BANKS explaine3 the circum stances connected with his purchase of the ground on which the Sta p Office had been built, and his offer of the same to Government. He had recommended it to a betilder to submit an offer to Ministers, and had a ltered in he his security. The situation be contended, was en various respects more eligible than any other that had been offered. As to time, he chewed from certain letters that lee read, that the Board of Stamps I ad not been always in a hurry to transfer the heasi fiefs to a new office ; and after all, the period at which tie new office was to be ready, was bat six months later Into the period at which they were offered pos. es.iccit of the other building, that it had bee?' :I contemplation to take. Time size of the new build inz the wished to speak within compass) was at least one-third larger than llumbreck's hotel, and laid out expressly for the business. The cost of that weal I have been b,4011/., and the alterations which would have been necessary, must hare occasioned an addi tional charge of 1,500/. making a total of 9,9001. — The new building cost 9,1001. He had received no particular information from the Treasury. When he spoke to Mr. Vansittart, he merely remarked, " You have spoken to Mr. Harrison on the subject." Gen tlemen who were entrusted in obtaining information from the Chancellor of the Exchequer had little temp tation to go often to the Treasury for any answer they could get from the Right lion. Gentleman. The offer of another building which had been praised so highly. if he were to point nut several circumstances connected with it, he might be justified in describing it as Willi dious. The same building had formerly been sold for twenty-three or twenty-four hundred pounds. lit 1906, it was purchased for 4,200/. This was the House which had been offered to Government for N,400/. He complained of having been kept in town by this motion, when he widow' very much to ar eumreny his family to Scotland. That be should be so detained on this occasion was as curious as if a watchman should take him to the matehhottee that night for looking at him. Were this to happen on being sliseharsol to-morrow worming, he should feel that he lead not been treated with more seve:ity than he hail experienced in this instance.—(A laugh)-s-He explained the circumstances which led to the peeler ence given to Mr. Elliott as Surveyor. The expense incurred scow the Estimate for the liailtiing was monad by the external gm/Wentz which bad. hole enpptimi, and Mr. Elliott hail only had a pett6ll4 twit awl a half per cent. while five per rent. would ism twee. m g/acted . by the Crown Surveyor. be had- gel the riZd which hod been mentioned might brperseisaseat re Onedred pounds. lie was not diepoted tit sea ~.Balch floss o n unprovid get f u g o c conits.i.sics when he founi :he ground could nut be olvaine..l for ' A
