But at present they "I've called upon to adopt sp-.importalit a change, in the absence of any stutioneut of facts, and of the opinion of iht. Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was willing to do the Ilmiiimahle Gentleman the jus tice of allowing, that he hail stated his opinions with great moderation ; hot lie tliought that even he must talons that if the measure of last night were proper and necessary, it ought to be rut lowed up by a similar provision fur Ireland. — The Bank of Irehted had pursued every step tale' by the Bank of England, and if measures were not taken lur the protection of Ireland they would lint only du a great injustice to the Batik there, but render the measure of last night in a great degree nugatory—for, without such a guard, the force of circumstances would run im mediately on Ireland. It was well known there had heels • transmission of specie from Ireland to this country for the purpose of exportation, and without this protection it might he carried to a dangerous extent. With respect to the drainage of this morn ing, he had no lamination to give. Should it even not turn out to be so considerable es might be naturally expected, the circumstance might be accounted for on the supposition that many per sons hail been led to imagine, that, in consequence of what had occurred here lest night, an application to the Batik for specie this mourning would be useless. Sir IL PARNELL said, it would almost appear that the Committee on Bank affair, had wholly for gotten those of the 11411 k of behold, since nu men tion was made of them by any Member of the Committe..—and yet it was on a sort of incipient Report from that Body, that the 'treasure which passed yesterday was founded. He did not vitals unnecessarily to inquire what the Committee had here' doing—but it would he satisfactory to the House to receive the same itifortnation, with re spect to the Bank of Ireland, which they yesterday received with reference to the Bank of England. The Right Ilon. Gentleman (Mr. Vansitiarl) had argued that the Bank of Ireland would, in conse quence of the measure adopted yesterday, be more liable to a goddess shams, than the Batik here. But he had left out of his calculation the very small attic of 13ank of Ireland notes, compared with the rust nualher of Batik of Englund mites in eircu- Intim,. !mired, considering the difference between the amount of tssues in each country, he conceived that they weir nut called on, in this case, to legis late in so unusual a manner.

Secretary for Ireland, who, he supposed, looked forward to earl' payments, at tio very distant prrtod, whstlier it was intended to pro.. pore to Pal liameist that an investigation should take place. In order to 'adopt some measure fir assimilating the currency of the two countries ? htar.)—The difference which existed at present, created more coofusion, and was a greater bar to commeretal intercourse between the two countries, than any other cause that could be migained. The CRAM:F.II.OR or the EXCHERUEIt had no difficulty in stating, that so Important a point as the state of the Bonk of Irtland.was not overlook ed by the Committee. At to the aslimihrtion of the currency of 11w two countries, the Con aaa nitre had so many subjects of national interest to attend to, that it was quite impossible fur them to consider that. . . Sir H. Psaiset t. did not wi►h the Bank COM. wittev to inquire Imo the propriety of assimilating the curtrio yof the two countries. He wanted to know whether the solijtct would at all be brought under the con►iderattion of the House ? Mr. BkovGliAst wished to know, whether the Bunk of Ireland possessed the alternative of paying their tinter of 1916.17, to which the present Mea sure referred, either in specie or new soles If they had this alternative, all pretence fur passing this Bill vanished. Mr. C. GRANT staid, the regulation of the Bank of Ireland, in thut resiwct, was similar to that which prevailed in the Bank of England. Sir J. NEWPORT Said, it was due to the Bank of Ireland to say, that, when the restriction was hest proposed, so far was it front being a measure wished for by them, that they actually struggled, with the most iertinacions resistance, against it. It was thought right that they should follow every step taken by the Bank of England; and they, iii consequence, issued the notice for the payment. in specie, of notes of a certain date. The question was, hissing, to the present moment, pursued the rune coarse us the Bank of England—the same description of Acts halving been passed from time to time, for the two establishments—whether they would proceed in the same course to the rud e or break uti here from the precedent which had been so long pursued ?

The fact, in I n . owns ((((( was , that throe trete urrr, at ioresegil. u !peat 0' natty notes for whi c h cash could be demanded. Ile frit almost inclined to oppose the present measure, !treatise they were de nied itiformation, similar to that whack they yester day received, when the Wank of England Restric tion Bill was passed. Th.! present Bill was in trusted to the care of a Right lion. 4:entlentsii, who was taut a Member of the Bank Committee, who knew nothing that passed in it, and who dial not state that fact, which, above all others, they ought to know, namely, the quAtitity of specie drawn from the Bonk of !whoa, iu eOileelillellre of the notice which the 801 l superseded, and the number and value of the notes now outaboonling, which they were liable to pay in specie. The Bank of Ireland notes in cioculation "mounted to ahuut 4,000,000/. Therefore, no very evensive call fur cash, with respect to that class of notes, payable in specie, was to be apprelielided. Ile thought, yesterday, that the sum which it was feared, would be drawn front the Bulk of Fusglatid, if the Ball were not passed, was too trifling to authorise a de parture from the rules and orders of the House— and he cosSeeived there was still less reason for the farce which now followed the comedy of yesterday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the Committee were nut, until lair yrslerday, in pos. session of the information which lust' beets laid he foil. the House. They could not, therefo►e, he ex pected to give information on the subject of the Bank of Irrhsuud. Mr. CA I.CRA IPT 1441. the paper referred to yes terduv war a printed documelit, accessible to every Gent fellow. Sir J. NEWPORT held, such a return as that al luded to by the Honourable Member email, if called for, be produced by the Bank of Ireland. The time, however, would root admit of it on this occaition. The circumstances out of which the measure adopted yesterday arose, were slot knows. by any Member of the Cotnnsittee, until after an examination that took pl:ice on Friday. The ques t merely was, the Bill which parted yepteiday, having stopped all ►►tire of specie from the Bank of England, would Parliament open a door tot traus ferring the drain to Ireland ? Mr. CA LCRA PT explained. Mr. G. CALLAGHAN impressed on the House, the necessity of relieving the public mind, as speedily as possible, from the fever and anxiety, which had prevailed, for some time, in co►►sequence of the investigation into the affairs of the Bank, which was now in progress. The Committee had now been sitting for two mouthy, and they had pro duced, not a Report, but a document iii which they declared that they would, at a future period, prevent a Report, detailing some ►chyme which they had in contemplation fur cash payments. The great question, th►oughoat the empire we., 44 What is to be ou► circulation ?

A Gentleman, under the pinery, said a few words in support of the measure. The House then resolved itself into the Com mitter. Mr. C. GRANT in the Chair. A resolution, recognising the necessity of moving " for leave to bring in a Bill to restrain the Guyer. nor and Company of the Bank of Ireland fr making payments iii gold coin, under a certain no nce given by them," was agreed to. Leave was given to bring in the Bill, which was immediately introduced by Sir GEORGE 111 LL, and read die first time. On the motion " That it be read the recond time," Mr. BROUGHAM rose, and protested against the unnecessary haste with which the Bill was hurried through the House. Sir G. Hiai. dekuded the course of proceeding adopted by Ministers. The Bill was then read a second time, went through a Committee, and was ordered to be read the third time, when engrossed. Mr. CALCRAFT wished to know, specifically, whether the Bank of behind had the alternative of paying the notes to which the Bill related, with new notes or cash I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the option to take new notes or cash was in the power of the holder.

Sir JOHN Ne.ieruß : r said, lie rose to submit a motion to the House, the object of which wall, the revival of the Committee which - was appointed. Irsts. year, to inquire into the state of dire*" iu lirelosid. lu cOlOwtelroCe of the recuentnendatioo of that Committee, a Bill hail been framtd, which had produced roost statutory effects in that country. But. although the fever had disappeared in some places, MA was greatly mitigated in other,., .it still. lie was sorry to say, existed in several parts of Ireland. The ravages of the disorder. had been very great—and when he stated that, lur nig one year. 3,400 persona had been *denoted into • single fever hospital, the. House would allow that it well a case of great &stress to the inhabitants generally, and of heavy affliction to those who were srized with the distemper. The evil did not termi nate with the eradication of the disease. The poor people came out of the hospitals in such a state of feebleness, want, and misery, that, he was sure, in many instances it would have been better if they had died in the hospital, rather than left it in such a pitiable condition. In the year 1815. uo less than 43,000 persons, in Dublin. Cork, and Lime rick, were attacked by fever—but the number of cases had greatly decreased. The measure that hail been adopted, which. iu fact, emanated from the Committee, bad produced much good. He wished to inquire how fir it could be amended, and applied as a more perfect remedy to the evil. His motion would be, for a Committee to inquire into the state of disease in Ireland, and also into the condition of the labouring poor its that part of the United kingdom, with a view to the arrangement of measures for enabling indivi duals and public bodies to devote particular funds to their employment and relief. The last part of his motion was most important, and he would C(04111 his ideas on it as fully as possible. • He did not mean, to rely shape or manner, to call for notional intervention ; but lie wished to see, whether those restriction', which stood in the way of the employment of the funds of private individuvls and bodies (such as the tenure by which property was held, or particular forms by which it was effected), might not be removed, by some general meastire, instead of having recourse to separate Acts of Parliament, amid be rendered available for the relief of the poor. The other great oliject lie had in view, was to employ the usel•ul labours of the Commissioners, who frad been apponited to examine certain parts of Ireland, at present occu pied by bogs awl morasses, in assisting the great body of the people. They had reported that there were 2,431,000 English acres of hog and morass—or which 1,576,000 aerea were , capable of being employed in agriculture—and the remaining 1,255,000 acres might he used as pasture laird. One million of acres had been surveyed. levelled; and repotted on by the l'uu►u►iasiuurrs. These tracts belonged to a variety of proprietors, and the ground was very much intermixed. If a general Act were passed, etiabliiig indivirhial+, or associations of individual+, to make advance. for the cultivation of this land, it would produce extraordinary benefit. After some further obaervationa, the Hon. Baronet moved— . " That it be referred to a Select Committee to inquire into the stale of disease in Ireland—to recommend such re medial and preventive steps as may appear must likely I. check the evil—and to consider what effect woo produced by the legislative measure enacted last year. Also to inquire into the condition of the labouring poor, its that part of the Visited Kingdom, with a view to facilitate the esnpkiyeiscnt of the funds of private individuals and hodiet, in the encou ragement of useful and productive tab u s—aud to report their opluions, from lime to lime, to the House." Mr. C. GRANT concurred entirely in the pro priety of the Hon. Baronet's motion, and re gretted that so interesting a subject hid been in troduced in so thin a House. The Don. Baronet said the evil wits considerably abated—a fact which lie had it in his power to confirm, if further con firmation could he deemed necessary. The dimi. notion of the disease was generally observable, ti gh these were local and partial excep. lions. In Cork, Limerick, and Dublin, the di. minution of fever' appeared to he universal.—. The Reports of the Dublin Iluepitals skewed that there was an titcrraw till the month of November. The rrterus were made every three the, and the last shelled that there 114 a great improvement, pat ly if the months were takes, separatel3. Tile avcrsge rate of the daily admissions to the different in was, in December, 90—in try, 77—and to February, 60. The Isis returns, including the li of March, 'Mewed the overage rate to be 50, Theta were one or two ca•ea of great malignity in Dublin—but the disorder hail, on the whole, de. creased so much, that some of the fever wards were shut, and the Richmond Pettit'''. tiary, which was converted into an hospital, had been restored to its originul use. About two months ago, the Irish Government, in oreer to ascertain more exactly the state of the fever throughout the country, thought it necessary to send physicians into the di&rent provinces of behind. They had not yet returned from their tour—hit he understood, that, in general, the re sult ol• their tuerstigation was saitsfactoiy. The fever was, hbaever, so (Artemis in its visits, that, were the general 'Pew of ;anprovegnetit greater evert 1
