Lord KING presented a petition against the Corn Laws. from a number of ladies' b aid shoe makers. The petition was, his oot Lordship observed, akainst the Bread Act; but he feared that whenever a bad system hound its way on the statute books, it would take at least a quarter 'of a century to remove it. It was eleven years since this job of jobs was formed into a law, and it was quite doubtful whether there wax even an intention on the part of his Ma jesty's Ministers to disturb it. Last year it was to be discussed ; this year it is to be deferred to another, and he had great doubt whether any thing would be heard on the subject next year but an ' other postponement. If ever his Majesty's Ministers should come to a decision, he could not rely on tbeirlimmess !ilia:stets were a kind of occasional conformists. who yield to the strongest aide, lie would not use an ugly and an offensive comparison, which had been made use of in another place, where they were likened to demons ; nor would his Lordship compare them to the ass which WWI placed by the metaphysician between two bundles of hay, and did not know which way to turn ; but he would compare them to the more common ass, which was to be seen every day in the streets--beaten from both sides ; the poor animal always yielded to the heaviest blows, and so was it with Ministers—they were basted on all sides, and would also yield to the heaviest blows. He would therefore recommend to tradesmen and manufacturers to press their grievances upon Ministers, otherwise they must yield to the weight of the cquniry The Earl of LCHERICK would not oppose a petition coming front so distinguished a body as ladies' bout anti shoe tankers, and ;here was one part of the Noble Lord's speech which gave hint great pleasure • his Lordship alluded to that part which asserted that it would ta kel a quarter of a century to remove the Corn Laws front the Statute Ii wk. His Lordship rejoiced to hear that a quarter of a century was likely to pass before they were to be repealed. The Earl of LAUDERDALE could not understand whether the petition was directed against the Corn Laws or against corns, which must come often under the observation of the petitioners; be oho-x*l thereat like to bear it read.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to move the order of the day for bringing up the report on the Batik Charter Bill. . The Marquis of LANDSDOWN said he had a clause tQ move which would compel the Batik to pay coin for its notes whenever they were issued; bat before entering upon the subject of his amendment, upon which it was his intention to make some obser vations, it would save him the necessity of makigje observations on another topic, if the Noble Earl at the head of tffe Treasury could conveniently answer an inquiry 'which he wished to make— Whether it was true that an application had been made by Govern oient to the Batik of England to influence them to depart from their regular and established system of doing husineas, and to lend money upon the security of property deposited with or secured to them ? If the Noble Earl would have the kindness to answer this question, it might save the trouble t,f any thscassion upon this point. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no difficulty in answering the Noble 3larquis. It was true that a commonication had - taken place between the Government and some of - the Directors of the Bank of England, but no decisien had been come to, nor could his Lordship take upon himself to say what might be the ultimate de. termination of the Bank. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said he could collect from the answer of the Noble Earl, that at least the opinion of the Govern ment was made up on thin most important point—that they wish the Bank to depart from their usual mode of transactingbuitiness, and to lend money on the security of goods. Before any steps were taken in this new course, which he considered full of difficul. ty. tie entertained a hope that Government would reconsider the Athject ; and he hoped the Bank would have discernment enough to see the danger of embarking in any system of mortgages. But, assuming that the Bank would consent, still he was prepared to contend that that mode of advancing money was most objectionable. The Bank should not be encumbered with a species of property which would not be available in any reasonable time. Such a countelwas objectionable from its influence on the currency and upon exchanges: at all events, an advance of Exchequer Bills by the Government would be a more simple and a sitter course. At the period of great commercial distress in 1 7(3, the subject of an ad. vance on Exchequer Bills by the Bank was brought bekee Parlia. merit, and at that time Mr. Pitt and Lord Melville were opposed to it. Mr. Pitt objected to it because it was a species of security different from what a bark ought to lend upon; and he also ob. jetted to the time at which money must be lent upon the security of goods, which could not be well done at the usual period of two months. But Lord Melville's reason was still stronger. He thought the difficulties of the times arose out of the extravagant speculations, that lending on the pledge of goods would only promote it, and that it was entirely contrary to the usage of bank ing. If such were the Mit , 012% which prevented a departure from. the established principles of banking at that time, how much more strongly did they apply ar this time ! Every man who was con vtosatit in commercial affairs knew it was to the state of exchanges the Bank was to look in order to regulate their issues. What I would that, be next year ? What might be the effect of a reduction of the currency? What might be the effect of an increase in the currency ? Would it be safe to increase the currency at this moment? If money be lent on goods. theseigoods might not be saleable, and the issues could not be withdrawn, even though it would be desirable to do so. In short (conti nued the Noble Marquis), the dead weight which it was complained pressed upon the Dank would be increased by an ed. ditional dead weight. In whatever light this intended loan upon goods was viewed, it must be objectionable; it was too artificial a system. The safest course would be a direct issue of Exchequer bills. If it be true that it was not want of money, but want of con fidence that increased the late panic, what remedy could there be in increasing the currency ? Would not the issue of Exchequer bills answer the purpose much better ? The increase of currency would affect the exchanges, and how difficult it would be to retrace any steps which might be taken in this way ! Such a course would I throw every obstacle in the way of a speedy return to a metallic currency; but no Ruch inconvenience could arise from 1 the issue of Exchequer bills, and nothing should be more studiously avoided than any measure that would retard a return to a metallic' currency. Agreeing as hedid with the principles laid down by the Noble bird at the head of the Treasury. he could not but declare' his conviction that the intended arrangement with the Bank of England would be unsafe. He could nut approve of anything like a manoeuvre, anal be was sure it would place the Bank in • vortex from which they could nut extricate themselves, and what was stiU more objectionable, the business watt to be conducted by I a mixed tribunal. (No, no, from Lord Liverpool.) He was glad to hear it was no such thing, but in the way the business was to be conducted he considered it a departure from sound principles which lie could not approve. The Earl of LIVERPOOL assured the Noble Marquis he en. drely misunderstood the intentions of the Government ; there was 1 se intention of appointin e s eommiasion, but he had no difficulty in ying that he agreed entirely. in those views which were stated by Oilw Noble Marquis. Ha would he as averse as any one to any mea. AIM which would take from the Beak a coattol over its own cit. The Earl of LAUDERDALE would wish merchants and ms. nufacturers to look to Government, and make their application di rect), than. But the object of Ministers was to throw the moron:. Ithility upon the Bank. The Noble Earl at the heed of the Tres sury had laid that the circumstances of die counfiy in lan were entirely different; but he (Lord L.) would maintain that the panne is a seartoo of deeper calamity. It was his opinion that nearly all who euffered in the late panic were perfectly solvent, hail not the general want of confidence deprived them of their usual aceornmn. dations. It was to the anode by which it was attempted to mumre confidence that be objected. (he Noble Earl at the head of t h e Treasury had contributed to the alarm. In his heart he belleve4 that Mr. Pitt In 1793 was not a more active agent in bringa g about the miseries of that _period than the Noble Lord was in adding to the late alarm. The sentitnents of Ministers, as ex pressed in the King's Speech, were in themselves sufficient te create alarm. The only way to give relief was . by an issue of Exchequer bills, but the Noble Earl wished to give advances in secret. lie preferred trying experiments, whilst he refused adopt. ing that course which was called for by the country, and which was pronounced by the most experienced persons as the moat ef. fecuve and safe course to restore confidence. The Earl of LIVEEN/OL mowed that tie Report bear:wed to. The Menials of LAN DSDOWN called their Lordships' atten. elan to the new clause in the Act, which is as follows " And to prevent any doubts that might arise whether the geld Governor and Company, under and by virtue of their Charter and the several Acts of Parli ament which have been mad, and passed I in relation to the affairs of the said Governor and Company, ran lawfully carry on the trade or business of banking, otherwise than under the immediate order, management, and direction of the Court of Directors of the said Governor and Company • be it therefore enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for the said Governor and Company to authorize and empower any committee or com mittees, agent or agents, to carry on the trade and business cf banking, for and on behalf of the said Governor and Company. at any place or places in that part of the United Kingston' calls England, and for that purpose to invest such committee or tome mittees, agent or agents, with tacit powers of management h'id superintendence, and such autl ority to appoint cashierearid other officers and servants, as may be nee eitiary or eonvenreete'dr cartyleg on such trade and business as aforesaid; and forehe Paine purpose to issue to such committee or committees, agent pr agents, cashier or cashiers, or other officer or officers, servant or servants, cash, bills of exchange, bank post bills, bank 'hats, montissory notes, and other securities for payment of money : 'provided always, thee all such acts of the said Governor add Company phial be done and exercised in such manner as roateabe appointed by any byelaw., constitutions, orders, rules, and directions from time to time her.. ' after to be made by the General Court of the raid Governor and Company in that behalf ; and in alt cases where such by-lawe. constitutions, orders, rules, or directions of the said General Covet shall be wanting, in such manner as the Governor, Deputy Go. vernor, and Directors, or the major part of them assembled; where of the said Govetnor or Deputy Governor is always to he one, steel or may direct, any thing in the said Charter or Acts of Porliarnete. or other taw, usage, matter or thing, to the contrary thereof not withstanding." The Noble Marquis wished to add a proviso to this chum ; by this proviso the Bank would be compelled to pay all their notes to coin at any place from which they were issued. It would be always necessary to provide not only that notes should be con verted into gold but that it could be done with the greatest conve. nience to the public. When the Bank of Ireland established branches, the Bank at first refused to pay specie at those branches, but upon an appeal to a court of law they were compelled to do it. But by an alteration in their notes they were able to evade thelaw, for by making their notes payable " in Dublin" they converted their notes into special contracts. A great many banks in England had done the same. It therefore became desirable to compel all banks to pay at every place from whence they issue notes. The Earl of LAUDERDALE had great doubt about the claws establishing branches. It was desirable to attain the object of hit , Noble Friend, but then it was difficult. A call might be made p out one place for an amount which it would be inconvenient and ten. possible to keep there.) The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no objection to the principle of the proviso. There might be local notes for the local branches, and these notes payable at the branches from which they were hinted. Such arrangement would, in his opinion, tend to prevent forgeries. If the Bank would adopt a particular form of note, it might be of great convenience. It was proper that Parliameet should look to the Bank, not with an illiberal, but with a constiter tionul jealousy. With respect to the course which had been re commended by Government, he must ray that in the balance oti evils it was whet be thought the least objectionable. The Marquis of LA N I/SDOWN said if the Bill had palatal into a law without sonic such provision as that which he had pee posed, it would create an invidious distinction between the Menthe.. of the Bank of England and the different provincial banks. The branch hank would have it in its power to collect a number se. country bankers' notes and calling at once for specie. 'I he counr y bankers would have no means of retaliation. The clause was then agreed to, and their Lordships consented to the proviso being introduced, with an understanding that it should be discussed on the third reading, which is to take place to-morrow (this day), if the Bill can be engrossed in the mean time. Their Lordships adjourned at half-paw Sia o'Clock. ROUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, Fen. 2;. Mr. ESTIPOCII T.
