He was n happy to inform the House, that the action was now withdrawn, and the parties who brought it, full• conscious of the impropriety of their condnct, wished to throw themselves on the mercy of the House. He therefore should move to discharge the order for the at►endance of those parties on Mon day nest, and put off the same until Aonday week. The order was discharged accordingly, and the par ties ordered to attend on Monday se'nnight. A persons from the Penitentiary at Milbank appear ed at the bar, and presented several accounts. Sir Wst.

Lord Hita.siononott presented a similar petition, siellal by a number of land-owne , s resident in the county of Kildare, Ireland, convened in public meet ing by the High Sheriff. Ilis Lordship stated, that he presented this peti!ion iu the alisenee of a Solite Duke (Lvinstrr), whose habit of residing on his esi ate was as honourable to himself as it was useful to his country. Ile observed, that the petitioners did not pray for any new pinciple of relief, but complained of the low prices which agricultural produce brought in the markets, and the insperfect execution of the Corn 1. aws, for which they stated as a reason, the in adequate manner in which the average priers of tort were calculated throughout the eimatry. In !:raying for that protection which they felt their situatiim re quired, they did not, however, asii Parliament to con sider Ow subject separately from the several intere-ts and public pH"' of the enipire.--Ortiereil to lie on the table. PUNDINO OP BXCHRQUER BILLS.—The Listrrimiata of the Exeertsi•Ea said, he wished to asks the earliest opportunity of stating to Parliament the contract which hail been entered into that day with certain holders of Exchequer Bills, and of which three days notice had been given to the public.. Ile should therefore move the Order of the Hay, for the Howie to resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. The !souse res dyed itself into a Committee accord- InflY• 'I he Citaxcettos of the EXI'IIrQI7EN then addressed the C 4444 matter. He could not state the transaction in question sooner than this day ; nor could he even have forekeen that it would have been in his power to do it so soon, as he did not expect it would have been so s-ton completed. The contract, however, having been ' made, he should, ac. - ording to the usual practice, give an account of it to the Committee ; and he was antis th..y would most readily ratify what the Trea sury hail done. The general terms of the bargain were these :--A notice had been gken un Friday last, that a sabscription would be opened for the purpose of funding seven millions of the Exchequer Bills that were now outstanding, and which amounted to more than :IS millions ; anti this snm, added to the unfund ed debt of Ireland, made the whole outstanding debt of the United Kingdom amount to thirty-nine millions. The amount was now less by nine millions than the amount of those that were outstanding at the c,rre sponding period of last yea-. 1111 the thirty-live mil lions of Exchequer Bills issned for the service of Great Britain, fourteen millions were in the possession of the Bank of England, and so there remained about twenty-one million, in the hands of the publk. As it was ittteudesl that a !mon to a certain amount should be made, it was considered that the heat mode would be brit to call in seven minions of the outstanding V% tad convert like sem Into stock.

The question of his Hon. Friend was quite clear, and, he apprehended. capable of in explicit answer. With respect to the con fusion said to have taken place at the Bank that nor► - ing, he regretted very much that it should have Lskell place. The effect of it was, that the hien :s of the Right Hon. Gentleman, be believed, were the successful applicants. lhe CUANCIILLOR of the EXCHeQUeR declared him self ignorant of any confusion or tumult having taken place at the Bank. It was known to the House that the terms of the transaction were known to the public since Friday last, and all persons had an equal oppor tunity of presenting themselves. The whole was con ducted with the utmost fairness, and he believed he could not give the House a stronger assurance that it was So, than by stating that the Bank Directors had the management of it. With regard to thP issuing of new Exchequer Bills, th.• Right Hon. Gentleman ap prehended that the Hon. Member was led into a Mis conception regarding them by coutouuding two sepa rate sums, which, Lough very distinct in themselves, h'►ppeued to be of the same amount. Upon the whole, the amount of Exchequer Bills outstanding and un provided fur, for the preseet year, would be less by ten millions and a half than the ailment of those in the preceding year. Mr. MARCRLY wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman what amount of Exchequer Bills voted for the service of the year lA9 remained unsold on tit sth of January, 1820. The answer to this questio:, by showing the amount of the Eichequer llills app.. i to the service of the former ye.:r, would enable the. House to judge what amount of these Bills would L•t necessary for the service of the next year. The Ho::. Member then stated the whole quantily of Exchequer Bills which remained outstanding an& unprovided for. In addition to all this, the Right Hon. Gentleman had received from the Bank the rest of the Land and Matt Tax in advance for the year ; sod, if report said truly, the Bank was not yet paid the five millions which it was proposed last year to have paid to them. But the Right Hon. Gentleman had said, that the Exchequer Bills were sent on the Consolidated Fund. He (Mr, Maberly) hail imagined that it was intended to give. the public the heoelit of the balances in the bands oi the Bank. But it appeared that this anticipation ea. not to be realized. It was time that the Right Hon. Gentleman should become sensible to the extreme dan ger of allowing deficiencies to occur in the Consolidated Fund in each succeeding quarter. If the revenue of the current quarter, which as yet was considerable i❑ arrear, did not increase, he believed it would be neces sary to borrow in July sum of 2,000,1t0tt1, to make good the deficiency ; this amount would swell the de _ I . 1 ;... 1 • i A \ • •/ ..

CONTEM THEOF COURT OF CHANCERY. —Lord AL ! nole pre-ented a petition f several persons now in a state of imprisuimicist by order of the Court of thanc:ry for contempt of that Court, and to the periods of whose imprisonment there was no limi tation whatever. One of the petit rs was a poor WOMB, eighty one years of age, who had been already confined fur thirty-one years by order of the Court of Chancery. Another nas a man, sivy-four years of age, who had been in prison for thirteen years; and a third, whose age was sixty, had been in prison above nine years. There was another, who hail undergone a long imprisonment, but who now• being in a dying state, was unable to give any account of himself. The Noble Lord observed, he was t lad that by presenting this petition an npp••rtunit was afforded his.. of sup. porting that part of the Lill fur the relief of I . .nuilvent Debtors, in which it nos proposed to introduce a clause that should include prisoners of this description. He had known use or two instances in which persons con fined for contempt were ready to comply with the or der of the Court; but in consealuence of the time which had elapse.l from the period of their first being sent to prison, they had no means of doing - so; met of the parties connected with the cause were dead, and the cause i:self was forgotten. Linder all the eireutu stances, lie thought that the Noble and Learned i.unl who presided in the Chance:y Court. could not do bet ter taan that of haying all cases of contempt brought before him once or twice a-year. Mr. Los allaßT wished that something might be done for the relief of persons suffering this kind of ins. prisomne ,t; but it must be observed that wae of the contempt, were acts of a very serious nature, because they prevented from i.htaitiing justice. 'the petition was brought and ordered to lie un the table. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.—Mr. W. WvuN ob served, %h. 4 the House Inuit recollect his haling, on a former day, sdhuutted a circumstance, in which a gross breach of its privileges had been committed : he meant the actin br.4lght by several person, agLinst the Warden ui the Fite' Pri-on, ler . allow:ne k Mr. Rm.- !on, wise hadbc:n couliuct; w escape frwu h:s be raised by loan. It only now . 11 fee fir s' ay before The Committee the per , of the bargain which had been madethat Jay ; . . , that brewery 99!. In Exchequer Hills, the per. paying the same was to receive 1001. 5 per Cent. -tuck. According to this arrangement, considering the price of the 5 per Cents. at the present day, and the 'fluctuations they were likely to exrerience, the profit accruing to the subscribers would be 'boot 2!. per cent. Avery eager competition took place that day among nutuctotts persons who caine forward to make this bargain ; and the whole was completed in half an hour, instead of two or three days, the time usually taken up in arranging a business of that kind. He now had a resolution to propose, the object of which would be to confirm what had been done. He then moved his resolution, declaring it as the opinion of the Committee, that those who subscribed the seven mil ' lions of Exchequer Bills should have IOU!. in the 5 per Cents. cafital stuck for every 99!. in Exchequer Bills. Mr. (farsraLt. said, he understood the eagerness of the competition WOll so great, that the parties wishing to .übscribe rushed forward that morning at the per sonal risk of their lives. Nis object in now rising was, to know (ruin the Hight Hon. lientleman, whether what he had heard was tree, that, although seven mil lions were now funded, the same number of outstanding Exchequer Bills were still to be kept up? '1 he CHANCELLOR of the Excrisquza regretted very mn.h, that the competition at the Rank had that day caused so much danger, which he was in hopes the pre• cautions taken at the Bank would have prevented. In answer t.i the question int by the [lnn. lientleman, he bad on:y to repeat what he had already st.:tetl, twat the present amount of the unfunded debt was :19 awl in this sum then• nas to be a reduction of ten mil lions and a half. Mr. M thp WA said, it appeared by accounts on the table of the House, that the whole amount of the un handed debt on the tith of January last was .16 mil lions. Besides, there was a deficiency of Land and Malt Tax, and therefore he wished to know on what ground the Right Hon. Gentleman could state the un funded debt at 39 millions. The Consolida.ed Fund was also seven or eight millions in arrear last January : and now it was near 10 millions in arrear. How the dividends in July were therefore to be paid he could not conceive, unless money should be borrowed from the Hank. It was his (Mr. Maberly's) intention to bring in a Bill, authorising the Bank to advance mo ney on the Consolidated Pnnd, aad enabling them to repay themselves from the succeeding quarter of the ramie. This would be a much better and safer it:ea sure in every respect for the Bank. Mr. Joint Sstirtt said, that thezptesttion put by an lion. Friend of his, respecting the seven millions of hequer Kills which were to be issued in lieu of thug funded that day, had not as yet been answered. He (Mr.Fasith) conf:•ssed that be did not unders►and the ex I,lanation given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, let ttu , c• lie, and the public too, waderstood that the ILignt Honcuraide.titntle:Las would have til:ed ap the He coajured the House then to turn their attention tis this eukert, aid to d. vise some means - by which the system would be put a atop to. Mr. M ASTIR moved for an IMMOILSA of Exchequer inns paid in the persica year, sad tllparnalhant Of tame • toperprided tots . PEARCE, who spoke its a - 16es tone of rotes, we understood to have vindicated the Bank Directors ftotti having caused or encouraged the confusion said to have taken place thit morning. Mr. J. SMITH denied having imputed any iuiscon• duet to the Bank Directors. Ile thought the circum stance exceedingly disgraceful. Mr. tittexerto. thought it a great blot on the coon- try in the eye* of all Eirope, that there should ap pear in each succeeding quarter a great deficiency in the revenue. De observed, that the accounts upon the table were to him wholly unintelligible. Mr. &LICH begged the House to attend to the financial state of the country. Last year, a tnost im politic set of taxes had been placed upon the people, f r the purpose of raising a revenue of three millions and a half, Com which the greatest benefits were expected. Instead, huiveve., of reaping any advantages from the measure,t he I lancellor of the F xchequer was adding still to the debt of the Consolidated Fund. Before he sat down, he wished to know from the Right Hon. Gen tleman in what particular way Excheqtier Bills, which had been issued, lie believed at par, found their way into the market. 't he CiIaNCELLOR of the EXCHEIVRII did not know to what particular !Bile the lion. Member alluded, hut he believed there were some Exchequer Bills carried into the market which could not be paid, and whirls were issued at the time in pursuance of a contract fur the purchase of silver. 11r. Ewes was not disposed to disapprove of soy arrangement made with a view to benefit the public servic.. Ile only wished that encli arrani. - euteut should be made known to th? !louse. Mr. MaaatiLy again asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the amount of the Bills voted tor the servi..e of ISM that remained unsold in Januaty, 1820? • The CIIANCRLLOR of the EXCLILQVga could not rise edefinitive answer to the question. He could only state, that all the Bills that had been issued were is sued for the purpose of replacing ethers left outstand ing and unitrovided for. Mr. illseasta %stated an explicit answer to a plain question. Ibe eItAPICILLOR Of the EXCHZQUILIO repeated his Lenses answer.
