The composition was then in ceased to 42,0001. The provision, however, was made respecting the gradual increase of the circula tion, which was one foundation on which to regu late the composition. After a variety iif he moved some amendments for dioingoishitig ti3O classes of notes and post bills, arrording to the rates of duties, and for ordering !barmen!s to the Receiver General by annual instead of triennial are , rages The CHANCELLOR. of the' EXCHEQUEIt did not consider thrir Mr . ."Pitt'i - prlticiple of ercaqge‘ ment had been materially_ departed from eit .oto he Lord Sidmouth or Mr. Perceval. When the Beak stopped payments in cash, it was thought by er ii er g that the outstanding notes amounted to 20,00:40001i whereas they were only 12,000,0001. The difference between the arrangements was, that, the former one was permanent, and the presept fluctuating, aceord+ ing to the notes in circulation.- Ile costsi&red him. self wholly responsible for this arraitgem.itt, such se it stood. He had offered terms consistent with the public advantage, and with the faith of Parliament. The Right Hots. Gentleman contended, that it watt . vain to enter into an examine • as to the equality of charge upon the Bank as compared to what might be paid by private bankers. It was impossible to institute such a comparison, because there was no similarity in the situation of the parties. No pri. rate bankers could accommodate Government with the advances made by the .Bank of England. The principle on which be bad proceeded was; that the . public were entitled to al full tt composition as was consistent with these indolgerei, de condo. mica of which the Bank had well merited. He had adopt ed a triennial average in preference -to any other, mod lupon the whole, conceived a very qdvatitageous bit. gain had been concluded as compared To the farmer arrangement, without at the same time pusldwg the Bank to that extreme of concession which was imp ' concileable to the system hitherto pursued. :Mr. BANKFS thought' it a strange fancy to nah . present the leans at low htterest advanced by the Bank as a sort of payment for the licence of trail. init. The public, In his opinion, paid sulficiew . ll/ 1 and even eitravagantly, for theicetratotiodition,lid& for the general trausaction of its business. Alt dig could be urged in favour of the existing system,. wee the excellence of the secirity. But be' mast object to the use of the word composition, as not nitres. sive of the true idea that ought to prevail. lit the Act of Parliament which recognised the preslsut set.: tlement, the • word was " compensation," and "the ordinary convertible term of that word was 14 semi. 'talent." He could see no reason Why the Chan cellor of . the Exchequer should adhere' to an errs," neous system, and apprehended the Directors of the Bank would act more honoembly in not claiming fer..their °pule* Corporation an eeensption fleas those burdens to which every other clai of the com munity was exposed. ~ • serMr. B.

Supposing him ) however, to err by leaning to the side of the Bank, he was certainly met by a more than equal seal, and he might say prejudice, by the Gentlemen on the other side. He then defended the agreement made et , different times for a compensation in the stead of stamp duties, and gave some explanations respecting the renewal of the' Charter, and the privileges it gave. On the present occasion a new principle had been agreed upon littween the Government and the Batik, which raised The compensation to 87,5001. a veal-. It was proposed by the Chancellor of the 'Exchequer, and acquiesced in by the Bank. Would the House -annul such a coptract for the sake of gaining 40001. a year, when they consideied the im mense transactions the public had with the Batik; and the importance it was to maintain its distracter and credit? Was it nothing to refuse to ratify what the Executive Government had thought reasonable and just. He then showed some errors in Mr. Bankes's calculations respecting the profits of the Bank, and sat down with an assurance that the House would always find the Directors liberal and fair its their dealings with the Public. Mr. MELLISH made some observations upon the calculations of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Gretrfell), which he could not agree with. lie considered, that it would be fairer to take an average of three_ jives, as was the case in the Property 'vas, thin to 6x upon the last year, which was one when the hisses were uncommonly great. Whether, however, the sum was 91,0001. or 87,0001. the diffeneece *odd not be a material object to the Batik. Mr. GRENFELL, in explanation pis, that 99,5721. would be the 'proportion that the Bank ought, in his opinion, to pay on account of the issue* of the last year. He should, 'however, abstain from entering more folly into the subject, as the regular discussion would come on on Monday. After a long conversation, in which Mr. Finley, Mr. Forbes, and Lord A.

He concluded by moving, " That an humble Address be presented to his Royal Highness the Paince Regent, praying that he would be graciously pleased to give directions for a national Monument to be erected in honour of the splendid victory of Waterloo, and to commemorate the memory and honour of the gallant officers and soldiers who fell on that glorious day ; and more particularly Lieut.-General Sir T. Picton, and Major-General Sir W. Ponsonby, and that this House would make good the same." Mr. C. WYNNE expressed his hearty concur. pace with the motion, and hoped that the name of every man who fell on that occasion might be en graved on the monument. He wished also that dis tinct monuments should be erected to the memory of Sir Thos. Picton and Sir Wm. Ponsonby ; especially as the former had expressed in almost the lest words he had spoken before he embarked, to two Members , of that House, that such a tribute might be paid to his memory. I Lord CASTLEREAGH agreed to the suggestion ' of the Honourable Member respecting distinct. um : Dements ; and added to the motion---- 44 And also that monuments to the memory of Lieut.-General Sir T. Picton and Major-Gen. Sir W. Ponsonby should be , erected in St. Paul's Cathedral." I General GASCOIGNE spoke most feelingly In praise of the merits of Sir Thomas Pictou t and cog firmed what had been said by •Mr. Wpm's, as to General Picton's wish, having had it sitrased from 11 himself. Mr. WM. SMITH spoke highly In famierof the motion. ! Mr. WILBERFORCE did the same, and gave his opinion of a palace to be built for the Duke of Wellington being more appropriate, as well as more economical than to purchase a house. We should endeavour to convey our tribute of gratitude tithe Noble Duke, to the world, and to posterity, in as , magnificent a manner as possible. He expressed him ''elf oleo highly gratified with the last addition made to the motion. Mr. BANKES said, the only qoestion was, that whatever was to be dune, should be done in the most honourable manner, and spoke warmly in favour of the+ Address. _ Mr. M. FITZGERALD disapproved of our imi. totting the conduct of France by retaliation of pil -lege. If any of the trophies were taken from Paris, they should rather he restored to those from whom they were taken. Out of the spoils of the field, with the cannon captured, we might erect a mono• ment, as was proposed in Russia. It was recently remarked to oar great hero, that on our last en trance into France, our troops showed great delicacy towards the French. The illustrious Duke answered, " I v. ill.promise, if I can infceoee them, that they will ire equally moderate now." [Mar !] This migna iiimity raised him almost above his military fame.— Considering the situation of the three people of this Empire, he thought that a national monument should be raised at Edinburgh, and at Dublin, as well as in London, so as to diffuse the testimonials of gra. titude throughout the empire. The Scotch regiments particularly, in whose numbers were many Irish, bore the brunt of the commencement of this glorious tie• • tory. [Hear !] Mr. C. GRANT bore strong testimony to the merits of Sir Aleiander Gordon, whose death was a national loss. lie had ron a brilliant career, though he fell at the age of twenty-nine, in those great events which had crowded into a few weeks, —deeds which might have been the record of centu ries. Sir C. BURRELL, adverting to the proposed m.nsion for the Duke of Wellington, observe 3, that if a suitable one was purposely erected for him, he ;night wait 10 or even 20 years without a proper house. Mr. WILBERFORCE thought that the Noble Doke would rather see his house gradually growing up from year to year. The motion was agreed to.

As to the probate duty, he hoped instances of hard. ship seldom occurred ; but it was his wish, if possi ble, to prevent their occurrence, and had prepared a clause to that effect, which, he trusted, would prove satisfactory. Its object was to afford to the parties a limited time. At the same time, he believed it would be proper, in another Session, to make some more general arrangements. The licences to bankers issuing promissory notes, we understood him to say, that he abandoned for the present.—The stamp duties respecting law proceedings in Scotland, be proposed should remain.
