On the second readiug of the United Das Company Bill being moved, The LORD CII A NCF.LLOR moved that the second reading of the Bill be postponed till Monday. It was a most important Bill, and in many respects was very objectionable. One of its clauses stated that the capital of the company should not exceed a million, but it did not state that it was necessary for lOW. capital to exist in that body. The Learned Lord also objected to the man or,. this corporation could be sued fin debts, and observed how care ful they were in their Bill not to injure the water companies, but they cared nut what injury they did to the water of all the rest of his Mojeoiy's subjects.

Mr. BR011'NLII)W presented a petition from the landowners and farmers of Armagh, against the measure for allowing Foreign' 11 'heat to be bonded; and praying generally for an alteration of the Corn Laws. Air HUAI,: said this was almost the moat important petition presented during the Session. lie hoped the English landhuldm would follow so excellent an example. Si- T. LETHBRIDGE thought the blinded proprietors of England did nut deserve the taunt just thrown nut against them by the Honourable Member fur Aberdeen. The Corn Laws, he ad mitted, were nut founded on • wholesome system; but still great Care should be taken before any further alteration in them was made. Mr. itIONCK said, the Irish peasant, or corn grower, had no interest whatever in the question. The exportation of corn trom that country was one of its 'greatest evil■, for it produced high rents ; and all the good that followed Irom it was pocketed by the landlords. Sir J. said, it was Inexplicable to him, that while the system of free intercourse was generally admitted and supported, the Honourable Member should consider it an evil, as between Ireland and this country. The first principle of political e.xiitoitst was free intercourse, and why deny its benefits to Ireland? Ile denied that the free intercourse in corn did any injury to the people of Ireland. lllr. MONCK, in explanation, raid he never meant to say any thing in the least degree calculated to wound the feelings, or to question the general utility of the labours of his Eight Honour able Friend, the able and zealous Member fur Waterford. Lord MILTON thought that the farmers of Ireland were par ticularly affected by the price of corn, for they generally held their h ods on lease, and could obtain the advantage of any rise of prices; whereas, generally speaking, the English farmers only held front year to year. lie believed there was no one in either country who did not give the tribute of Ilia applause to his Right Honourable Friend (Sir J. Newport), who was the first person that introduced the measure of a free intercourse in corn. Ile believed a change was n in the present corn laws, but that change should be mole wi th utmost possible caution. The petition was ordered to be printed. Sir 5. K NATCHIit 1.1, presented a petition front the licensed victuallers of Chatham, against the Beer Duties' Bill.—Ordered to be prinks'. IRISH CHURCH ESTABLISIISIENT. Mr. HUME gave notice that be would, an Wednesday next, move toe several returns relative to the residence of the Irish Clew. Re. Mr. G 4 N observed, that he had already given orders to have ouch returns prepared. and he daily expected them. Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved for several returns relative to the last census taken in Ireland. _ BEER DITTIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUF.R postponed the further consideration of the Beer Duties Bill to Monday next. Mr. J. 1V11.1,1A MS asked the Right Honourable Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) if the Chancery Commission wen• instructed to report the evidence which might be given to them ? lle asked this, because be understood that the Commission sat to-momow. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could give no miniver. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the 'silence sheet atibmittesl to the 'louse should be referred to the Committee of Supply..—Orderett. IVAVS ANI) MEANS. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the house resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. lie begged leave to say that lie would occupy as little of the time of the 'lmre as pte.sible, and would therefore proceed at once to the details. He would not enter into a long detail upon the subject, but as this wa. the last vote which was to be looked for this Session, be conceived it to be his duty to male a statement to the House and to the country, to enter into an explanation, or more properly speaking. a recapitulation of the revenue which had been voted by l'arlianictit in the Committee of Supply, and to explain for what purposes these various autos were necessary, how they were supplied, sod the reasons fur which his 31k:testy's Ministers felt themselves obliged to tall upon Parliament. The extent of the auto voted in the Committee of Supply in the cuinoteuecusent of the Session was 111,2,81,7111. _ . ... 'l'he Army - The Navy - The I /rAnanee . 311*(rIlanetma - - - - 7.490,945 . . . 8,762.893 . . 1,416,044 - - 2.611.308 For the Payment of Interest on Exchequer Bills, 1.0t41,04101. In addition to this there as.. thrown upon the public, by the vote of the Committee of Supply, a sum of 30,01111 000/. in Exchequer Bills. Tl•is was the ainimat oil the money he calculated would be required in this way; List he was ready to admit the total amount of the Exelieopier Bills, issued under this vote, exceeded the sum calcu lated upon ; it ainounted to 34,1ti1,01107., being a surplus of Exche quer 11,11 s issued over the vote of 4111 000/. It was now his duty to state to the House how this surplus occurred, how he p:maosed to de::1 with it, and in what manner, if his men. sines were sanctioned by the vote of Parliament, he intended to meet it. lie proposed to meet this surplus in the following manner : by the duties on Sugar he proposed to raise, 3,0011,111111/ ; by the duty on foreign spirits 1,101.11001. This would amount to 1,000.11001., leaving a deficiency .of 4111,0001. to satisfy. We had front the East India Company. according to the vote panned in the icily part of bat Sesaiott, as an allowance for the half.pay of his ‘lsji sty's tore., in Indict, the own, of 418,0001. By the sale of buildings. according to the estimation of the conmiisaioners . 1 ( Public I{'orks, 50,11001. Ily contributions front the salaries of the (Meets of State, and others possessed of a certain salary, in pur suance of the example spewed by his Majesty, and according to an' Order in 4:141111(11 01 the year 1322, a transfer of 111 per cent. on such salary to the public revenue of the country, 30.110191. There were also various small items. which, though not included in the Ways and Means, might still be looked upon as belonging to thou : these may be reckoned to amount to the sum of 511,01101. 11' hen these sums were added to the aunt of 1.0711,1571. he would have to state that the surplus of revenue over the expenditure was 10,101,0011. And he would now state to the House how the site. plea was obtained, and to what pope . it ps te be applied, from the vote passed to th e ear ly part of the Balaton. The revenue of the whole year amounted to 5t,265,00/1. To this was to be added the part payment of the debt from Austria, amounting to 426,0001. He might call this half it million. There w s o: Alm to be added 212,0011, derive.' from source% on Ireland. Trials had taken place on the subject, and this sum was found to be due to the Crown. These sums, when added to the revenue, of 51,20:1.0001. would make a total of 42,1147,0001. From this total, it should be recollected, we had to deduct the sum of 3,000,0001, to be applied to the Consoli dated Fund. We should also deduct the sum of I.2fio,nom. losses I upon revenue arising front the Cifferent reductions which Par- Pigment thought proper to make upon various taxes. Ile thought the sum of 1,200,0001, may be calculated upon as the fair and pro bible diminution of revenue arising from the repayment of mums necessary to be repaid from the reduction of duties on various ' articles of commerce ; for example, on the article of silk, the total amount of the sum paid on this article amounted to 500,0001. This sum, he was ready to admit, exceeded the limit of his calcu lotion ; hut he would also state, it fell far below that enor mous sum with which Honourable Members at the opposite aide of the House had threatened them, rather, it was to be pre sumed, in the hope and expectation of terrifying them from the course they adopted, than from any well-grounded fear or appre hension that could be entertained on the subject. For his own part, so far was he from having any real objection to the memo/lure—so far was he from feeling any apprehension on the subject, or ex pecting any evil consequences, that he expected signal benefit would follow from the mensure; and when he recollected the ergo ment was to be conducted against principles founded in error, and from the overthrow of which evil was anticipated—and he could not refrain front thinking this ought to be a subject of sincere and real congratulation—when it was recollected that this was a conflict with long-established prejudices, that it was in itself surrounded with difficulties, that it gave a shock at once to the credit and feelings of many individuals-lie felt himself bound to say, the attempts, and the manner in which they were made, by the individuals concerned, to give all possible opposition to the measure, reflected the highest credit upon them. They had de meaned themselves with that propriety . and good order which had ever characterised them. These qualities upon their part would, and ought, to entitle them to the highest degree of attention and consideration front that House, if at any future time their in tervals should be the subject of discussion. Great and im portant changes had takeg place, and they had been sub. muted to with tranquillity and quiet. The carrying tl.e measure to which he alluded might, he thought, be fairly looked upon as the triumph of truth over prejudice. As to the sum to be ex ' pended in consequence of the repeal, he did not think it would be objected to, even by these who opposed the measure. lie, for one, could not bring himacif to think that Parliament, which passed the measure under the circumstances to which he alluded, would attach importance, or lay a stress upon, the expenditure of half a million of money, more especially when the value of the sound and liberal principles to which we were returning, was taken into estimation. In the peening of this measure we were reverting to the sound and practical principles of commerce ; and he felt convinced the House would not, from any narrow and selfish feeling, grudge to the silk manufacturers the advantages and benefits that wood ultimately accrue to them. He was well convinced the time would COTe when the restrictions on the silk trade should be removed; and from the skill, activity, and industry of our;manufacturers, he thought that the time was arrived ; and front the accounts he had received, and was in the habit of receiving daily, he was proud to have it in his pewee to say, the disgust and gloom arising from the apprehended effects of the Act had entirely passed away. Ile would now return to the subject before the House. There was, as lie before s:attd, to be deducted from the year's revenue, of filly two millions, the suns of 3.000.00t11. to be applied to the Consoli dated Fund. Another deduction of 1,200,0001. for the deficiencies of revenue, which lie hail mentioned. making the revenue to amount to foorty-six or forty-seven millions. 'I he charge for the • Consolidated Fund, amounted to 30,5110.0011 . and there would re main a surplus of 10.11.10,0001. There were two parts of the system of finsnee to which he had not yet alluded. Exchequer Bills were issued by the vote of the House for the payment of the two sums of fifteen minim% ; these aunts made a total of thirty millions. He had spewed there was an additional sum to be provided of 4,000,0uu1. In his opinion the most beneficial and advantageous method of raising the 8111114 required was by issuing Exchequer ; this was the plan most available fur the object in view. It would serve the Consolidated Fund if an equal number of Exche quer Bills were to be issued wt a less expense. This object he would attempt to attain, if the vote for the sum of thirty four millions were granted in the ordinary manner. Gen demen should also recollect, that a charge on the Connell- dated Fund could not be niiscle until the end of the quarter, and in consequence no Exchequer Bills could be applied for the'; attainment of this object, until that time; and there was, until the 1 expiration of the quarter, an accumulation of money which could not be applied to the benefit or advantage of the public. Ile was aware, about two years ago, thee was a Bill brought In, to make money thus circumstanced available to the public; but it was • merely for a temporaty purpose, and it only authorised the /in. eminent to use the money, if the Consolidated Fund exceeded 6,000.0110 L It was neither lus wish nor his object to lay any addi tional charge on the Consolidated Fund there was no necessity for such a proceeding. In his opinion it would be just and reasonable , to leave the growing produce as it stood, and apply it to the pay ment of the }:xchequer Bills; and with this growing produce he would, if allowed, meet the surplus of the 1,000,11001. over the Bills already issued. This was the substance of Ins plan with respect to these Exchequer Bills, and he thought a saving would attend it; but it would be light at present, for the interest would not accrue until the end of the quarter. But stifl there would be a saving, if the bills could be issued at • lees expense than in the ordinary way, and could he made available for the pay ment of the 4.6.11.000/. ; and to this object he would also bring a surplus of 14.1,0011/. frond the Ways and Means. In his state ment respecting the 30,000.1101 U. voted by Exchequer Mlle he had made a mistake ; one of these sums alone, 15,000.0001. was granted: he held the vote for the other In his hand. He would not trouble the (louse with any details on the subject : the general state of our revenue, trade, and commerce, was well understood in the House, and t h rougho ut; the country ; besides, these matters had been discumal early in the Session. It was, therefore, unne cessary for him to make any general reflections or observations on the subject. These subjects would he better illustrated by the opinions and sentiments of the lion. Menders on both sides of the House, than they could by any effort of Iris; but there was a matter connected with this discussion, to which he begged to call the attention of the House. lie had himself announced it at the commencement of the Session ; he meant the reduction of the in terest on the 4 per Cents. At that time he stated his proposition, that every person who had received 100/. at I per cent. should now receive 14 percent.. and the ti per cents. should not be re. duccd for a year. This was his proposition, and he added, those who refused their assent should rut receive the 4 per cent. but be paid off, and that the one-third of this stock might be reduced in a given time. There was a clause which it was his intention to pro pose, that those who did not express their assent within six months should be paid otr; and Government would be enabled by the Bill to pay off one-third of the stock. This restriction was perhans necessary; for, if few assented to the measure, it would be ensy to pay them ; and, if there were many dissentients, and of this there could be no certainty, it would not be easy to find the means of paying the entire stock, which amounted to 75.000,11018. There would be no difficulty in paying 041 theone-thinl, 25,000,000 i. If he had had at the commence .... • . , went of his plan, any siprehensions upon the subject, that ap prthemaions were soon removed, for a far greater proportion of the holders assented to the measure; and be had it in his - power to add, that more than two-thirds of the subscribers had expressed their assent, and the remainder, after the notice of six months, were to be paid of on the 10th of October next. Those who assented to the measure, and were satisfied to receive interest at the rate of 3i in place of 4, were stockholder to the amount of 611,0011,0001. f hem individuals gave by this conduct the best proof of the strength of the credit of the country. They preferred the security of the liovernorent, even at a reduced rate, and were contented with the reduction. The sums to be paid off* upon the 10th of next October was 7,000,0001. Ile was now to consider how funds were to be procured for the payment of this aunt ; and, in hie opinion, the most easy and obvious method of procuring these funds was the issue of Exchequer Bills in a limited and moderate manner. The plan would be to Josue these bills, leavings moderate rate of interest, and to an extent that would warrant their security in the market. He thought this would be the most simple and easy way of effecting the payment. He would prefer this mode to adding the 7,100,000 i. to the unfunded debt, and payiag the entire by the issue of Exchequer Bills. There'would be some risk in this proceeding. He knew the valet of theme bills in this cosnmerrial country, and how well they . answeesd all the purposes of trine ; but fur these very reasons rt was the peculiar duty of tiovemment not to issue them to •greater extent titan the market could bear. The issue might be too rem, and in that event their value, like the va lue of' everything else of which there was an overstock in the mar. bet, would fall, and the result would be injurious instead of bene ficial to the indiridualseoneemed,and this issue might not be attend ed with the effict of paying the debt : neither did he think it rea sonable or just to place these 7,000,110 MM a weight upon the Sink ing Fund, the express object and design of which was to redeem our national debt, and ought not to be applust or convert ed to any oilier purpose, except when its operations were suspended pro ?empvsr. Except in such an instance, it was 111 - 111se and policy to apply this Fund to the discharge of our national debt ; and it was his decides) opiiiion, that fur the purpose of counteracting the tentisirary suspension of the Sinking Fund,' no addition of debt should be made to it, by which it would, to u certain amount, be cancelled. Ile would prefer raising the seven millions wanted, to get rid of those who were not satisfied with re eeivibg 31 per cent. on the d per cents. by the application of those funds intended for the discharge of !Le unredeemed debt. Ile would prefer this to lessening the sinking Fund, which should be applied as long as it was possible, as the law directed, for the re duction of the National I febt ; and to prevent its accumulation. If I Hills were issued at the rate he proposed, he would par the seven millions at the rate of one million a quarter, and would discharge the whole in seven quarters. (If this he was clear, he would pay the entire when the seven quarters had elapsed. If it might be objected to him that he should pay then, with more rapidity—that he should discharge them in lee time, this was not possible : it could not be done by the application of the Sinking Fund for this purpose. This fund tunouoted to about A,134,01111/., but the entire of this could not be applied to the reduction of the debt. There were many claims on this fund it was subject to the claims of the life annuitants, which were an unfixed sum, more or less; and their demands were not the only ones; if the annuitants were not to claim upon it, the fund was open to all unclaimed dividends. I/iviiends of this description were banded over to commissioners ; they purchased stork, but were obliged to return it to the proprietors when they made their appearance; therefore, in no case could a greater sum be withdrawn, from this or any other fund, than 1,000,110 W. a quarter. %I' ith respect to the issue of these Exchequer Bills, he would make, a few observations; they would be but few ; lie made them to allow tbo intentions of tiovernment.

Sir H. PARNELL was scarcely audible in the gallery. lie agreed in almost all the principles laid down by the Right Hon. Gentleman. A great improvement, he admitted, had taken place; it should not be looked on as concluded; it was not yet realized; improvement should be considered merely as beginning. lie called the attention of the House to what had been done for the silk trade. and the relief given to the woollen trade. The reduction of the 2d. per pound in this article was the cause of the saving of 20 per cent. in coarse woollens ; but the House should bear in mind that these improvements were not final. Ile wished to know what became of ' the regulations respecting timber ? A most imperfect measure had been pored no that subject; a promise was given that it should be renewed, but nothing more was heard on the subject. The present' measures should be attended to more closely. In looking to the' finance scheme of the Right lion. Gentleman there was much to be comutended, but he could not approve of the small Sinking Fund! Ito pay off our immense national debt. It could make no amines_! sion whatever on our debt of 11011,900,000/. ; betides there was • misstatement of the amount of this fund ; it was not 54100,0001., it was not quite 4,000,11013. • and even if it were 5.000.900/. it could never reduce our debt, ' lle did not approve of the name of , Sinking Fund; it was no such thing, it was properly a reserve I fund, and it would he used as a matter of course by Ministers as such if an emergency were to take place. He took the liberty of suggesting to the House a Long Annuity in place of a Sinking Fund. In this suggestion he was supported by his much-lamented friend Mr. Ricardo; and out of doors the measure was generally approved of. If this plan had been adopted by Mr. Pitt. if he had resolved to pay off the debt by compound interest instead of by this measure, and if the plan had commenced in the year 1793, the loan of that year would have been paid off in seven years front that time ; the loan of 1794 would have been discharged in seven years from that period: and thus in proportion. The principle acted on by Mr. Pitt was wrong. Ile agreed that a Sinking Fund would discharge a debt as fir as it went, but then it should be a real Sinking Fund, and not like ours—a fictitious one. If there was a real Sinking Fund even of a !Milian or a half, it would in a short time dis charge a debt of an enormous amount. He would not detain the House at present, he would take another opportunity of delivering his sentiments more at length. Mr. HPSII: agreed with all that had fallen from the Right Ho nourable Genthman on the subject of the silk trade. The outcry against the measure was utterly unfounded, and beneficial results would flow from the measure, far beyond the fondest anticipations. He trusted the Right Honourable Gentleman would, in a short time, remove all those restrictions disgraceful to our Statute Book, and which utterly impeded our commercial prosperity. He per fectly agreed with his Honourable Friend (Sir Parnell) upon the subject of timber. Ile could not conceive why the people sir Eng land should be compelled to pay more than •200,00.1/. or 301,0001. annually for their timber, than any other people in Europe, for the purpose of serving a colony that is nut of the least use to us, nor ever can. He trusted Ministers would continue as they had comnicnced With regard to the wool ; they would suffer it to be exported, and take off all the duty, leaving only a nominal one of a penny a pound, for the purpose ot chew ing the quantity exponed. He trusted Ministers would perse vere in those round principles. If the Right Honourable Gen tleman returned to those principles he bad left, his arguments in that House would be a niece waste of time. If Ministers continued in a right course, he would give them his support; it was true he generally voted against them, but it was be cause they voted against principles. They ehould persevere in their conduct, and should not be influenced by any jealousy or manufacturers, which did riot deserve notice, when great and liberal principles were to be acted upon. In the statement made by the Right llonourable Gentleman, there were some items which were not satisfactory to him, and which the govern. matt should not act on. There was one in particular, called the dead weight lean, which reflected upon the House that passed it; and if any thing could prove how erroneous our system was, it was this loan ; it did not go through a single stage without experiencing his opposition. He took the sense of the House upon all occasions while this Bill was passing lie attempted inp defeat it by every means in his power. The Minister borrowed eleven millions, for which he was to pay in the three per cents, then at 73. He bad to pay this loan in this stock when it was 90, and by this means the difference between 73 and 90 was mu ipletely lost to the pub lic. This entire loss, he would maintain, was not less than six ! millions. There was another reflection, exclusive of the loss ; it was the feeling of shame that the Home could act in such a manner. What had been done was done in spite of every reason and argument that he and his friends could advance against it. At all events he hoped the Ministers would return to those sentiments. from which they had, he thought, altered a little. As to the I Sinking Fund, he came to the same conclusion with his Friend (Sir Henry Parnell), that Mr. Pitt was in crrer; and the plan, I even if carried into effect, would not Rave the country a ! single farthing ; every sensible mu in the country had now ' tlee same opinion of this fund, and though some originally ap proved of it, they now thought differently an the subject.) Such, therefore, being the case, what was the Right Honourable Gentleman doing ? Il'hat justification had he for his P resent pro- reeding ? By the arrangement respecting the 7.000.000/. he was; doing what was universally condemned. It was impossible to fol. ] low the Honourable Gentleman ; if a man had nothing else to em. ploy him, he could not trace him through his calculations. He should keep an office for the purpose of explaining his intricacies. If the character of the plan was simyle, why not any at once take off the amount of the Sinking Fund? This would he a simple mode; but as long as there was such a complication of accounts as was submitted to the House, the plan coedit not be called simple.— ' He observed, dint the sum required this year for iniecelleuetnis es. ti.natee was 2,fit10,0001., whereas last year it did not exceed 1,700,0001. This great difference in one branch of the 'phlic ex.. penditure was most uncalled fur and onjustifiable. He begged to ask the Right Honourable Gentleman if another opportunity would I be afforded for taking the sense of the House on that subject ? 111 e understood the Chancellor of the Exchequer to answer " I es," across the table.] lie never meta tangle person out of that House who approved of that grant, even of thaw who voted in its favour, and who appeared to be spell-bound when they entered the House and were induced to vote against their convictions. It was the in. tendon his lamented friend (Mr. Ricardo) to have submitted a measure fur the reduction of the debt, and this he hoped would be effected in the present session, and would attract the attention of hope also to see a il l s - I the Hight Honourable Gentleman. He Mr. J. V4' I said, that in the mode in which the mak mission was shaped. there were no distinct instructions to the eani missMn to report the evidence taken before there. In the Act of Parliament by which the Scotch inquiry was instituted, there was a distinct statement, enjoining them r• to report such &benders and amendments as appeared to them to be calculated to loge= the administration of justice, with all the evidence given them in the course of the inquiry." That or a similar injuneles was not to be found in the directions to the present commission. If it was obligatory on the commission to report the evidence, he was satisfied ; if it were left discretionary with them, he was sot. Without desiring to prolong the conversation on this subject, he wished for information on this point. Mr. PEEL replied that in the appointment of this commie en the precise directions were given that were given to the comminka he had before alluded to. The Scotch Inquiry was instituted by An of Parliament, and that might account for the difference to be found in the directions of that and the prevent commission. H. could only say from the direction to report " all proceedingi" that their report would contain the evidence adduced in the prosendiu of the inquiry. TITHE COMPOSITION BILL Mr. GOULBURN moved that the House resolve itself into * COMMittOe on the Tithe Composition Bill. He was induced to in. induce some alterations in the present Bill from that of last year, with a view of satisfying the parties who were most Study to be affected by it. This was his single motive and object in again adling the attention of the House to the subject ; he would propose in tie first instance the modification of the clause which related to the qualification of persons entitled to attend at vestries. As the clause at present stood it had given sonic dissatisfaction. Ile would alter it to the extension of pertions who attended to create disturbance or produce irregularity. The next clause he would touch would be that of substeutikg an oath instead of a penalty of let that, by the Bill of last Session, was imposed on the valuator of the tithes, it, either front neglect or wilfulness, he did not state the true value of the property of the parish. He would also propose to alter the clause that related to determining the value of tithes by the average price of corn for the foregoing seven years. He had had a conversation with two leading Prelates of Ireland, who tendered their aid and co-operation in estimating the fair value of the tithes of the parish. By the extension of this plan th r ougho ut the country, a voluntary agreement would take place betweo r re ° cumbent and his parishioners, which, with the approbation of the Bishop of the Diocese, it would be obligatory on the Comenindoons to sanction and confirm. The Right lion. Gentleman e~ lo other clams, and moved the reading of the Bill by espenine clauses. Mr. MCI: disapproved of obliging a person to take an oath when he could nut be cognizant of many of the facts which be was called upon to aver. Ile thought that at all events persons geeing • fro". hold en 201. a yore, or at most those who had *Ol., skink have the privilege of voting conceded to them. Mr. GOULBURN explained, that the real object in this ease was to have a fait representation of the respectable and influential portion of the community. Mr. RICE, in explanation, said, that he had not the slightest disposition to oppose the intention of the Government, so far as it , had then been stated. Undoubtedly there were many of the poor ' of the country, and even of a higher order than the mete poor, in debt to the clergy, who would therefore be most unfit persons te sit in vestry. The clause was ultimately altered to a qualification of ML, and alffeedto. The House then resumed, and the report was ordered to bete. ceived on Monday. SAVING:4 BANKS. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the House went into a Committee on the Savings Bank BilL The Right Honourable Gentleman stated, that the object of the present Bill was to assimilate the savings banks of Eagland and Ireluid. In consequence of the high rate of interest those banks pay, %com panion with what could be got now elsewhere, many friendly en. cedes and other public bodies had placed money in them ; and per. ions who, at the same of their formation, were never contemplated as persons who would place their savings in them, had, from the rated interest they paid. become subscribers to theta. To obviate this he should propose, that no friendly ioeiety, whose endowment amount ed to a sufficient sum to pay land tax, should bellowed to suliscribe, and no wails of that description should be allowed to subscribe more than 500/. He should require by this measure a declaration from individuals, that they only contributed to ooe bank ; and if it should afterwards be found that they had subscribed to more t h eca one bank, then fin them to foriiit II - sir deposit. It had hitherto been die practice to subsc ihe by a letter or figure; that muse ho roomed to do away with. With regard to Treasurers, he would remark, that there hal been instance% of their going away with the money minus:al to them. Ile had found a considerable difficulty a. to making Trustees responsible. Th.-re were doubts whether Trustees, in point of law, were answerable for the mal , practices of Treasurers; and certainly if they were made so for ten large a sum, there might be a difficulty in getting Trustees to act. lie should therefore propose, that there should he 12 Tenures to each beak, and each 7 rustee be liable to the amount of NM, making fitelt If there should be ale run on the batiks, he would propose that an issue of Exchequer hills should he made to them to assist them at that time. At present ItrOt might be subscribed the first year by individuals, and Mt the suhaequent years. He should props ae that SW. only should be subscribed the first year, and 301. in the subsequent years. Hospitals, he thought, ought to be jected as RUhlicribers altogether. as they were always well endowed. Chairman then put the first clause, That it is expedient that the several Acts relating to Savings Banks in England and Ire land should be emended ; which being agreed to, the other clauses were put, and also egretes to, after a few words from a Maar whom name we could not lento. and Sir John Newport. The Mouse then resumed, and the Report was ordered lasite eelved on Monday. LAW STAMPS REPEAL. BILL.
