The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—" The six millions which we are to take from the Exche rier, are not forthcoming at the beginning of the quarter. It is an accruing, a growing fund. We take the money as fast as it comes in. But we cannot, at the commencement of a quarter, say that we save the interest on 6,000,000/. As we have small sums coming in from time to time, to tont the 6,000,0001. it is only for u vary short period that we can say we save the interest on that entire sum." Mr. MARIRLX reiterated his former opinion with respect to Exchequer bills. If they were paid in, on account of revenue, the Right Hon. Ger.tleman'w plan must totally fail.

The latter seemed to think that Exchequer bills would fall to a discount, but the Right Hon. Gentleman was of opinion that they Would rise. Mr. PROTHEROE hoped the Secret Committee would let the country know its true situation. Iles Right Hon. Frieliti had talked of severe measures.

TOWN OF HUNTINGDoN, Mr. HEEL Mater!, that this case came heroic his Human for farther directions. It was an nit/4411160. fit. rl iu the year Ittl2, by hie Majesty's Attorney-(;curial, at the rela tion of certain inhabitants of the town of Huntisiedou against the Defendants. It alleged, that they, the De fendants, had mismanaged the estates fir the au 'Tort of St. John's Hospital in that town, as they had let theist much below their satire, and the information prayed that the .Defendants might be restrained by tojimetiots from receiving the rents, and that they might be directed to go before at' Master, and account for the funds they had received, sail that the Court would appoint a receiver. In the year lel3 the Court granted the prayer of the information, and it was referred to Master Nimeun, and he reported in the year 1818, that there had been great mismanagement of the estates of the charity by the Defendants, a. they had let them at extreme low rents to lessees, who were bargesses and be longed to their own body. Tu this report the Defehilants had taken exceptions : first, that if there were mismanage. meat on the part of the Defendants in letting the estates. the Master ought to have proceeded lo Wm them; and secondly, that he did not state in the report what part of the estates were applicable to the support and maim. RaliCe of the Hospital. On the exceptions being argued, they were disallowed by the Court, but an .issue was directed 10 a Court of Law, to try whether a certain part of the estates wire not applicable to the support of the II", vital, mid the Jury returned a verdict for the Defen dants, that the part in question was out applicable. What he, the Learned Counsel, bad now to ask of his Honour was, for an order to reverse the former derision of the Court, and that the receiver might be discharged. Mr. Id 'AU), Counsel fur the relators, said, that the mode of bringisig the question before the Cuwt was incorrect, and contrary to practice, as the application ought to be made by the way of Petition: Mr. Bart. stated, that the Registrar hail drawn op the order as fur further directions, and his Clients wi re only proceeding in conformity with the order of the Court. Mr. HEALD said, this was a case in which the Defendants were charged with the greatest mismanagement of the cha rity estates, that they had let certain lands for taut per annum, which were reported by the Master to be of the valise of P iool. per annum. The fart was, Dist the Defendants wanted to obtain ail order on the strength Of the verdict of the Jury, in an issue which only decided one isolated point, without the cause being heard on its merits.
