The title of the Bill, which was "to regulate Forks, and I t azons," excited a laugh isi the It was ordered for a second reeding uti Wc.iesitiy next. Mr. WILSON begged, in allusion to what he had said on a 'turner night, and which wes but imper fectly heard at the time, to repeat, that he nude no complaint of the seignorage of the gold coin; he only meant to say, when air Hon. "Jetliner talked of the Bank's coming from paper pounds to paper counters, that no injury to the public of the kind alluded to had taken place by the issue of the silver coinage under the denomination of Bank tokens.

I have that the Gentleman to whom I allude ea laeastal a WWI to be carried before the Privy COpa ell. Was this the fact ?

On the motion of Mr. %FYN N the arliourued de bate on the Oxford Petition was resumed. Sir A. PIGcOTT said there could be no doubt that this was sn Electron Petition. It complained of an undue election, effected by bribery, through the di rect nyterpoeitiou of a Peer in Perliaineut. fur House, therefore, by the Act of the 10th of George 111. had no other course open than to treat it as s aii Election Petition. Nothing could be Wore importeot, he thought, than toe full pre servation of the powers of the Act of the loth George 111. These should be preserved umm. paired, anal such a Petition as this should he im mediately considered as au Election Petition, and sew other.—( Hear.) Mr. ,DENNAN said, that after the consideration he s had given this subject since he had presented the Petit , lie was ready to view it in the same light as the !lon. and Learned Gentleman. Ile, there. lure, wished to withdraw the Petition, fur Ilse pur pose of enabling the Petitioner* to make their own clrcntttt of the course they should wash to take. Mr. GANSER concurred with the 1100. and Learned Gentleman (Sir A. Piggott), that the House could not properly take coginz ince of the Petition so the yammer it was presented. The Sire s iteit surd, that in all cases of Election Petitions the course was, to fix at the petiod cii pr.-writing them se: early day fur taking them into consideriaistm. Tbrii the parties , were aiut.iit liberty to withdraw theta, unless lir a crimplias.ce with two ,particular Acts. If this Petition dropped, the lair lie* would have time, if they pleased, before day Hest, to present r. new one in the uspal form to the Hlotare. ?Ir.

Ile held to be the proper 'tame of a Petitino agegiog I .cts, "bleb, if t tttttttt t would render an Election null and void ; and this Petition charged the Doke of Marlborough with corruptly procuring the .re- I mo rifGeneral 51..144111 It ought, therefore, to b e treated as an Pre . Petinjou. He thought las understood f tier HOU. arid Learned Mover (Mr. De ttttt ati) that the parties would make moldier erfartto petition to as sunder glimmer. He did nut like this coutse fur an s Eiection Petition ; where the witnesses could be esmniiiell - repo', oath, the matter could alone be properly impaired into. Mr. Asir/live believt) said, that !lidos Petition were now not to be withdrawn, perhaps the Peti tioners *multi refuse to cuter Into the ilret-sipry rt ; the 4:timid : aim must fa.l to grainy!. lie thought s Committee of Privilege could better make the istquiry, fur they would he hound to puke a special Itaport, amid to make it openly. Mr. 11. I3ATtlussr said, he was 1111,1111111, to prolong the conversation on the subject, winch had already run to some length. The doctrine was not true that a precise form of word. was tweet vary, in order to send a Paitinn to an Election Committee; it hail been frequently decided other wise. Enough had been stated in the Petition to accuse the Noble Duke of being an agent for others. Corruption and bribery were alleged, and if such allegations were proved before an Election Crrionsittre, the election would be reported to be void. It was not for him to say what entire the Douse should pursue, were the question brought before t;iens properly as a breach of privilege. The present was no question of discretion—the law was imperative upon the course to be pursued—the Petition must go before that tribunal the law had marked out. and could not be withdrawn. The question " That the Petition do lie on the table," was then pot, and carried unanimously. The SPEAKER then observed, that in order to render the proceedings ol• the Douse on the Peti tion intelligible, it would be crolvenient that the motions should be preceded on the Journals by an explanatory Resolution. viz.—" That it does ap pear that the Petition to which the motion related was a Petition complatioing of the undue return of a Member to ►erve in Parliament fur the city of Oxlind." Mr. BANKEE moved a Resolution to the above effect, which was carried unanimously, and Tues day, the 9th March, at three o'clock in the after noon, was fixed for taking the said Petitiou tutu consideration. CARE OF FNS MAJESTY'S PERSON. On the motion of the UnANCEI.I.OII, of the Ex- CHEQUER. the Bill for tlw Care of his Majesty's Person (*lnch passed the Uptuer House) was read a first bane, and ordered to he read a second time on Thursday next. The Right Hon. Gentleman said he chose that night for the second reading, because a Noble Friend of his (Lord Castlereagh) hail given notice of a bon on the Windsor Eats blitliment for the same night, and the order for the second reading might comentently precede that motion. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The Order of the Day to ihoi effect having beet' read, the House resolved itself into a Com mittee of Supply. In the Communes-, Sir G. WAIMENDEa rove to move the annual vote of stamen. He said, that it was lost intruded to make any augmentation to the isundwr of men voted for last year. By putting the travel force into a state of increased actirity, it was considered that the same number as that of last year would suffice for the different services to which they should be applied. He should there fore move— " That it is the opinion of this Cummitee that twenty thousand tufo be granted to his Majesty for the sea service for thisicen loner months, from the lst kirJanuary, 1019, in cluding .is thousand Royal Marines." On the question being put by the CHAIRMAN, 4 Nemi i rr, whose some we could not learn, said lie thought that a fit opportunity to ark the Hon. Member whether any measures were in the con templation of Ins Majesty's Government far the lessening or removal of the hardships of impress ment ? Under the authority of that mode of sup plying the navy, poor men were suddenly and for cibly taken away from their homes and families, without any opportunity of invoking the protection of the law, which left that class of men alotte de fenceless. He should be extremely happy to hear of any plan tending to remedy such a great evil, either altogether or partially. Sir G. WARREND6R said, he should he very glad to give the Hon. Member any iirformation his power. The question was one of the greatest importance to the country, and on such a question he was sure the Hon. Member could not expect any other reply than that it was one to which the attention of Government had been directed with the utmost anxiety, and that they were sincerely desirous of introolucong any practical improvements. Hut on a subject of so momentous and delicate a shame, lie hoped he should be excused for not holdirig out hopes of any material change in that the ancient system of the country, especially as the Him. Geodleinati who put the question twist have bees, aware that it would be a matter of ex. time difficulty to point out any other method for recruiting our navy, not subject to even greater evils than the existiog one.--(llear.)—flut it should not be forgotten that means had been re sorted to, to procure a voluntary supply of men for the navy ; that a registry had been instituted, and scone startler kept on half-pay with that view. He was sure the Hon. Gentleman, seeing the delicate situatiou lie was placed in, would nut wish hint to commit I self further. The Resolution was Mien agreed to. The billowing votes were then severally made A :noel of 545,0001. fur payment of the above men, for the above tune, at the rate of 21. 3s. tI.I. a man per mouth. 5111,0001, for victualling, at the rate of Si. a Mil per 531,000/. fur clothing, at the rate of 21.

Lord PALMERSTON Said, he should then move but for a small part of the entire Estimate for the Arnie .Services. The Noble. Lord then moved— " Vitt it is the opinion of this,Cousessittee, that a seat of one million sterling he grantvil to his Majesty towards de fi eying lime chariXv of his Majesty's land forces, including the rilinnilita .vvv i ng is the Mediterranean, and.exctasi+ e of Itiv hoops on ne\vice in the Ealli Indies fur . thirtevii how from ,jar tat January, 18 . 10:' having been put, Mr. CAM:RAFT said, be should be glad to know firms the I-bori.

Lord I'.Aam6tory:4 was about to Feisty, bolt was anticipated by the CHANCELLOR of the lElcm:- overt, who observed, that as the Han. Member's observations applied 'to oil pmks of the public: ser vice, he should hug Lave to answer them. It was obvious that if (L, et flilliClit welt' d ill Ills op plicatiou uf ate 61411 i to the pesik.kl fur which it lead been voted, Parliament wrmld be always obliged to meet previous to the last clay to which the votes extended. put his 61.tjesty's Ali nisters always conceived they had a power of ay . plying any slims that might remain, after dischatg itig the expestats of the year, to that branch of the public service for which they had been granted. In the estiniates, the charges were not made prospec tively, but retrospectively, and on that account, balances in many instances necessarily remained. and a rosining account was kept up from one year to another. Ile did not see any irregularity in thus applying the surpluses of public money, pro vided the sums granted were always expended on that purticular part of the service for which tliry hail been voted. The motion was then agreed to. The VHANiaLLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved— _ _ o That it is the opinion of this Committee, that a stm of 24,954,300 i. be granted to his Majesty, to pay off Ex chequer Bills issued by virtue of the Acts passed in the last 5et.,,,,, of Parliament, loaf An Act for raimitz the ruin of 38.000,004 by Exchequer Bills, for the ....vice of the year BOX, ■wl also, An Act fur ruthing the sum of 11.600,0001. by 'Exchequer Bills, fur the service of the year ISIS; outstanding mid utiprovided for." - - - GRENFEp. bald, that two loans had beep made by the Bank to the public some time since, and one of them, for three million•, without inte rest. He was sure the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Vansittert) would agree, that that loan of three mil lord been made in consequence of the investi gation that took place into the transactions between these two parties in the year 1907, and that the Bank consented to it for the purpose of making the public sonic compensation for the large balances of public money that constantly 'clammed in their hands. At that time those balances were coma puled at ten or eleven millions. He could refer, in support of that opinion, to Mr. Perceval's letter, and to the Member lin Code Castle, *I he was awry not to see in his place. The period, how ever, for which the free luau had been made, ex pired in April last, and since that the country have been paying the Bank for the use of the three mil lions ; au that at present, instead of the public denting any advantage from the large balances re raaiuing the Bank. and from which that body drew a profit of 5 or 0100,0004 a year, just as any private individual would turn money left in his hands by another to purposes of emolument, they were compelled to submit to a considerable charge for the use of a small part of them. lie asked the Right HUH. Gentleman how he could give his assent to such a contract ? He could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw in the accounts of the last year 4 per cent, charged ou the sum of three millions from April, an item of 110,000/. against the public, merely because the Bank allowed it to draw out of their hands three millions out of nine of their own money. He mere ly threw out those few remarks then, intending to speak at large on that subject at another opportu nity. He should be happy to hear of any arrange ment by which lbok large balances could he ren dered available and profitable to the public, off which they were raised. The CHANCELLOR of the Exchttatiett had not thought it necessary in the course of the business then before the House to touch on the subject in troduced by the Honourable Gentleman, especially as so many more suitable occirsithis for bringing it forward were likely to occur. tie had no hesitation, however, in saying, that in respect to the three mil lions originally lent free of interest, but for which the public had been paying at the rate of 4i per cent. from April last, they had been the source of long disco+sion between the Bank and the Governmerit. The Government had been long anxious that the public should derive every posisible advantage from the unemployed Innis in the hands of the Bunk ; and lie hoped, in a short time, to be enabled to lay before the House a plan which would effectually secure that end, by which all the balances would be rendered applicable to the use of the public. The balances had much decreased of late ; last year they had not been much more than half what they had at the time the arrangement hod been made. Whether the plan would have a rttrokipretive ope ration, and take in the interval (rout April, hr could not then take upon him to say. The Hon. Gen tleman had, • few nights ago, reminded him of a sum of eight millions advanced by the J3ank past year ; and his explanation had not been properly understood, probably because lie had not spoken loud enough. About five millions of it had been paid, and three remained to be wade good out of .the supplies for the current year. 141r.PREN•Et.t. said it was an immen•e advan tage to Abe public, that they should derive the full benefit of those great balances that before lay with the Bank entirely unproductive to them. He thought he could hot be accused of vanity in say iisg, that that desirable consummation, whenever brought about, was mainly attributable to his in dividual exertions. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he .bad always expressed an anxiety similar to that of the /Jou. Gentleman; but his views could riot be carried into effect without the concurrence arid co operation of the Bank. That body had of late shewn themselves ready to agree to a proper ar- rimgement. Mr. I'. MooRE observed. that one point had been omitted by his Honourable Friend .(Mr. Giro&II), namely, that the three millions had been lent by the Bat.* to the public without interest, on condi• Lion of ten remaining on their bands, forum use of which they were subjected to no charge. Ile saw from the Answer of the Hight . Honourable Gen- Alessian to a question front his side of the Houses how the willion of money deficient had Amen made up. Ministers, it appeared, ,turned any surplus in their hands, of whatever fund, to make up die deficiency in imy other builich of service ; but then what become of the appropriation Acts, which directed the votes fur each setvice to tie applied strictly to that, and that only? He hoped when the Right Honourable Gentleman's plan was brought forward, to see the public hu•ioess treenselorteCl at the Exchequer, and tint the Wink. 'lle CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated his' statement, that the balances of the grants for the different service•. after deftaynig the expenses of the year, were iseplied to the same services wily fur the uext year. The motion was thrum agreed to, and the Report ordered to be brought up on Tuesday. Ou the House rtsciniug.
