Mlh scaffold! " stitution : but appreciating highly as he did all the claims which the Bank of England had on pablie consideration, he could not forget that it owed its existence to iegislative provisions,and that it existed now by the periodical renewal of its charter, not for its own individual advantage, but for the benefit and accommodation of the community. He could not forget that during the last eight years the Bank had divided between 7 and 8 millions in addition to their ordinary dividend of 7 per cent. It was under these circqmstances, and because he considered the balance of profit to preponderate so much on the side of the ; Bank, and so much to he due not only in liberaillt,' but in justice, to the country, an opinion with which the Bank, on a large view of its own permanent in terests, he thought ought to concur, that he had felt it his duty to bring the question under the considera. lion of the House.—[Dear, hear!]—The Honour able Member concluded, by moving for a string of papers illustrative of the average aggregate balances of public money deposited with the Bank, from the year 1807 to the year 1815. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER conceived, that the lion. Gent. had made his Mo. ; tion on this subject much earlier than he needed to have done. There would be time enough, previ ous to the expiration of the Act, for the House to enter into the consideration which the Hon. Gent. had proposed. Not three months ago, the Bank had advanced 3,000,0001. to Government, upon the faith that no alteration should be made in the ba lances left in their hands ; and the Hoes* could not, with any propriety, or justice, open a bargain which they had so lately approved. The Hon. Gent. had thrown a false colouring on the balances—they arose from a great variety of transactions ; and as to that part which related to the Consolidated Fund, the House could not interfere with it, without violating the faith of public credit. Very considerable sums were lodged in the Bank to answer the purposes of Government, and the profit made by the Bank was not the point for consideration. Those balances arose under several Arts of Parliament, over which the House hail no controul. The lion. Gent. had referred to another advance made by the Bank, to the amount of three millions, in the year 1808; but as the period was afterwards extended without any interest, the public had been gainers in that trans action. It might be material to consider whether it would not be possible in future to reduce the balances in the hands of the Bank, but the House would bare sufficient opportunity to investigate that point before the next Session of Parliament. Consider ing, therefore, that the Motion of the Hon, Gent. was premature, be should beg leave to move the pre vious isiti.fion. ~_ wasetelibieit, Lit .in possession of the Rank, and I Mr. BANKES said, that the aecouftts oogilte be yet the/ ceentry was engaged to pay interest upon laid before the noose, before any flesh hatpin wet that propor4on of these balances which had been op. made with the Bank, and he could see norbjection piled to the public exigencies, or in other words why the necessary isiformation should not be given at open its ewes inoney.—[llear, hear I)—The present the present time. It was a matter of great consider. sifuetioe'eit the Bank in this respect, assuming the ation, as the Hon.

The interest upon this Bement referred to by the Right Ifon. Gent. ; but if sum, it remained with the Bank, could be the Right Hon. Gent. conceived that he hail bound considered le no other light than as a consideration the public by particular transactions, he, for one s 'for the trouble of conducting the business of the would hold him bound to fulfil those engagements. ,irate. * was, therefore, for the House to consider The Papers, however, should be ptodoced in felt 'arittitlier.,. at a period like the prese n t, so p re g nan t ti me , i n or d er th a t t h e House might see, when we ;mills • Macias 'difficulties, it was expedient, or became free agentsagain, whether some more 'cone. wliethOt it was fit or becoming in itself, to pay at so mical mode could be devised.

Mr. TI ERNEY asked, what possible objection there could be to immediate enquiry ? The more cuments the House had before them, the better ment they would be enabled to form upon the , , ject. The only person who could be supposed have any desire to defer the investigation was the ' vernor of the Bank ; bat no reasons had been urged Iby him for delaying the enquiry. Mr. MARRYAT agreed with the Hon. M. that the consideration of this important subject ought not to be deferred. He had frequently discovered r considerable difference between Gentlemen in individual characters and in their corporate ties. In the former, they were frank, liberal, generous ; in the latter, unaccommodating, illibet and overbearing.—[4 laugh.]—The Bank of United States acted with greater liberality ; conducted the whole business, and paid the dividends without making any charge for labour. The ad , Cage which the Bank of England derived from the. lances left in their hands, were very considerable and as the whole object of the Motion was to Itc what their profits were; he saw no reasons for dela y ; If the enquiry should be defeered till next Session, the Act of Parliament might aspire before the Hour could examine into the subject with that impartial; • which their duty required. The House then divided on the previous question, Ayes • 9 Non • 73 4 Majority • — l9 Some of the motions were agreed to, and others withdrawn, with notice that they would be brought forward on a future day.

Mr. GRENFELL rose to call the attentiott of the House to a subject with reference to which be had given a notice previous to the ream. He felt, however, that he should have need of all the in dulgence of the House, in the observations with which he considered it necessary to preface the mo tion which he should have the honour to submit on this occasion. in bringing under their consideration public transactions between Government and the Bank of England, it was his intention to confine himself strictly to those in which the public had an interest. The House, in his opinion, had nothing to do with the private concerns or dealings of that Cor potation, and could never, unless under very pecu liar circumstances, properly interfere with its ordi nary mercantile profits ; hat, on the other hand, where the national property was in question, and where the public was one of the contracting parties, he deemed it a binding duty upon that House to en quire what were the terms, principles, and condl- 1 tions of the contract, expressed or implied, and to I see that they might be such as ought to be satisfac tory to the country. It. was well known that a large proportion of the profits of the Bank arose from public funds deposited in their hands. These sums were placed under different heeds of service in their books to the credit of the public, and were thence drawn out by the officer& of their respective departments. The whole operation was as simple and as easily managed as the similar concerns of any private baralters. In relation to this part of the ques tion, he should move for the production of went papers presented to a Select Committee ei tint' House in the year 1807, which exhibited a fair, honest account of the aggregate balances of public money, or what might be called the Stationary Fend of deposits at that period iii the hands of the Bank, productive to them, and unproductive to the public. Ile was satisfitld that he was not overstating the fact when he described the Bank as annually deriving from the possession of this average amount of public money, a sum equal to the whole annual interest of such funds. The sum at which these aggregate ba lances were then estimated was to the enormous amount of 11,000,0001. conveying an annual profit of upwards of 500,0001. not to the public, to whom he contended these profits belonged, but to the Bank of England, who could have no shadow of claim to them, except as the price at which they managed the public business.--.[l/ear, hear!] —Re should have , presently something to say with _respect to t h e re muneration due to the Batik upon that head. The year 1808 was the last period at which he had any , authentic information as to the amount of public funds in their hands, when the balances remained un diminished. That they had since greatly increased ' with the great increase of the public expenditure was probable, although he was aware that the latter was not an infallible criterion for calculating their amount. l llle could readily conceive various Causes that must operate both to their increase and their reduction.- 1 I The papers, however, for which he should move! would afford ample information upon these points, land he should receive from the Right Hon. Gentle ! man (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), or his lion. Friend (Mr. Mellish), whom he saw in his place, whatever facts or opinions they thought proper to communicate, with the same alacrity and satisfaction they made against his argument, as if they con ' tributed to it the most powerful supptirt. In the year 1806, he believed, under Lord Grenville's ad ministration, a transaction took place between Go vernment and the Batik, which had been called a loan from the latter to the former, a term, as he conceived, altogether inapplicable to the circumstances of that transaction. The Bank then agreed to advance • sum of 3,000,0001. at 3 per cent., that is, they agreed to accommodate the public with so much •of their own money, for which the public was to pay them this per tentage. This agreement expired in December last, when the principal sum was dis. chargrd, together with an accumulation-of Interest amounting to 740,0001. In 1808, under Mr. Per ceval's administration, another advance of 3,000,0001. • took place, upon which no interest was to be paid, ' on the special ground of thd large balances of public property deposited with the Bank. The period for %stitch this was originally advanced had also expired, but had been since extended on the same ground till the sth of April, 1816. All these transactions he held to be most erroneously designated either as loan', or advances, or accommodations; be regard , ed them as nothing more than a liberty secured to the public of ti k•of their o wn money, and of nt lug use ' droning Wm their own deposits. A large balance ~r~l~ ■t
