RANK NOTES. .... Lortl ELLENSOROIItiII n:.irad for a return of the Bak of England notes in circulation on the lath Feb. (;012 N LAWS. . _ Lord KIN° rose to present a pritent a tunitioa fmm Brea It. but from some Informality Ids Lotiohlp doubted whether it oattld be received as the petition of the t.a Toration. It was against that job of jobs, the Corn Laws. He d , As intend to enter opens dia. C 11 0 ,4011 of those measures at p. t he had expected the sub. ject to be Introduced this `Session, tett it appearcd-now that Minis ters had no intention of introdurim: the subject at present. There could be no certainty as to the time of such discussion. It was pro. 'piped last Sessintrthat dovernment would tplinse some alteration ' this Session. but now that Pirliaineot w. 4, about to expire, the No ble Lord at the head of the Treasury did sot deem it prudent to administer a viaticum in artier/10 north. It wonid perhaps be a mortal sin to administer the vie/tie:on in their present state. • The petition was received. and, on the moiion of the Noble Lord, it was ordered to be printed. BANK CHARTER. Lord KING said he had heard many good eperebes in support of Dad measures, but rarely heard good speachea in support of good meaniree ; after the speech which he had heard from the Noble Lord onpoeite in ettpportof the Act now its pro . greuthrough Parliament, he did not expect to tile titer such an uthrniity of pur pose—he did not expect to see that measure frittered doWn. On Friday the Noble Earl convinced the Bowie that a great portion of the late calamity was attributable to the state of the currency, and it appeared that gold and smell notes could not circulate concur rently ; but at the very time the Noble Earl was announcing those opinions, his lieutenant in another place was stating that the country was still to have those ribeeil note.. It was a matter of regret that his own speech should be coptradicted by his own act ; by the alteration which was now made in the Bill, tt was deprived ot its greatest recommendation. After the sound views which had bean taken of the subject, and atter :he measure had received the almost universal support of all parties. alte country was again to be thrown into a state of agitation. The Bank had an excess of issue, the country bankers had too. great an testae, and it was to be hoped some measure would be devised to reduce these issues to &safe limit. Country gentlemen were anxious for high prices, hut they ought to reflect that a season of high pricy WAS followed by rnother of low prices. The high prices of 18121 were followed by the middling prices of 181 e, and the low priceithat 21, 21, and 22. There were the high prices of 1824, end the low inices of the following year. Thus the system went on in jerks and tons, instead of the natural, easy course of a metallic currency. it was to the state of uneer. tainty in which the country was kept that hir Lordship ascribed a great deal of the distress. The difficulties were twofold—inseeu. rity and irregularity ; but for the one evil which insecurity brought with it, irregularity caused nine. He should like to see a metallic basis-2he should like to see twenty or thirty millions of coin in circulation • but when there was a prchabilityof mach an event, the Noble Eerfat the head of the TreaeurY, to use the language of a distinguished Statesman. " turned hie back upon himself. The Earl of LIVERPOOL could not avoid saying that no new course, no proposition had been made which was at variance with the principle of the original Bill. It was the duty of Parliament to bring the celtintry to a metallic currensi with all safe expedition. It was tie opinion that small notes s..ed a metallic currency could not exist together ; but in the course at' Ida speech on Friday, his Lordship had stated that it was the wish of Governmert to get rid °loos and two pound notes. The tint measure • taken to secure that remelt wee to stop any further ise a of stamps for such notes. Though is au, .alasezablesesraseereteute niAteltie swereney, ft could not be dime suddenly. A temporary ::xpedient was tried lu De. umber last, and the present clause was not to be extended beyond a short periol. The circulation of small notes ens an inconve nience to the Bank. The treasure was only intended to meet a possible case, and if there were a necessity, the Bank might issue small notes, and his Lordship had no objection to accompany it with any guard that would be thought necessary. The any of LA NSDOWN thought if this clause should be admitted unguarded, it would ;eve a power to the Bank to defeat the whole scope of the Noble Earl', principles. The Bank might, before the 10th October, take out as many .414101 as would enable them to deluge the country with amen notes at any period they might choose. Ile was sure It was not the wish of the Noble Earl to give them any such power. It was not for the Parliament to grant any such discretion. It would be necessary to examine and ascer tain the extent of these issues, and the Noble Marquis expressed a hope that this clause would be accompanied with a guard, to pre vent any abuse of it. The Earl of LIVERPOOL bad no objection to any amendment that went to secure the public againstany abuse on tile part of the Bank, and he would support any proposition to that effect. The Earl of ROSEBER It y conceived the measure before their Lordships to be of a prospective nature, and leered the introduction of this clause would only aggravate the . prevent evils. The Bill its If he thought a sound and good , one ; it would tend to establish the system ut banking in England on the sante principle with that which afforded so much security in Scotland. It was his Lord. ship's wish to see the connexion between the Government and the Bunk of England narrowed as much as possible, but he entirely condemned their dealings in annuities. That business had encum bered the Bank with an unconvertible security. It appeared that Government had made overtures to other public companies to par. chase the naval and military pensions, but they were declined. Ili' Lordship hoped that Government would pause and consider seriously the propriety of extending the present measures to Scotland. The system there was quite satisfactory, and any revolution there would create an alarm of a most dangerous tend ency. An inquiry should be made before any interference INS attempted. There was one other point--he meant the Usury haws, which, in his Lordship's opinion, had a great share pruducing the late calamities ; they prevented accommodations in the quarters where they were most wanted. Money was not al lowed to flow to those who were willing and able to pay for it ; and it was well known that enormous interest was paid, in a most rnia. ous and indirect way. Ills Lordship said he would give his cordial support to the Bill before their Lordehips,with a reserve that it should not be extended beyond England. With regard to Ireland, he would leave it to those Noble Lords more directly connected with that country to devise the best course to be pursued there ; but his Lordship had strong doubts whether the measure was suited to the conditien of that country. 'rite Earl of LIMERICK said that as small notes and gold could not circulate together, and as the only seirculating medium in the South and South.west of dlreland wee small notes, principally of the Bank of Ireland and of the provincial banks, the people of Ireland were unfortunately situated ; with the bestsotland climate they were poorer than their neighbours, sod among the poorer classes small oozes were principally circulated. If any attempt were made to withdraw these notes, his beedship hoped an ample supply of gold would be fn resdiness to supply their place i and if exchange be. tween England and Ireland was to prevail against the latter, gold would be sent at an expense of I per coat. to this country, and thereby Ireland would be drained of its circulating medium. The Earl of BLESINTON thought the danger was lest the notes might be withdrawn without baying a substitute of gold. lid. Lordship had k3lOll/11 DOWS of 3s. bd. to be issued in Ireland. He thought that making silver so a certain amount a legal tender would have the most beneficial effects. The Earl of LIVERPOOL 'Gabel' to any one word r frig Ireland, as the subject had been introduced into the lieee debate. t It was Dot the intention of his blisieety'e Ministers to introduce any measure into Ireland without considering the peculiar eon. dition of that country. It had been said that the late distresses did not extend to Ireland; but it should be recollected that she I had her convulsions two or three years ago, and is now recovering; but his Lordship considered that the recovery was principally owing to a measure similar to the one now before .Parliament for the relaxation of the Irish bank charter. They never will have gold until Parliament enacts it ; but no measure would be intro ducel by his Majesty's kliaisters without the fullest inquiry and conlikleration. The Earl of ROSEBERRY wished to know whether it was the intention bf his Majesty's Ministers to introduce any mu., sure respecting small notes in Scotland. • The Earl of LI VERPO(IL was not prepared to Make any communication at present. He did not wish to mix that ques tion up with the present dissession, but It was the intention of Government to bring the Nikkei under the consideration eel Parliament at a future period. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said he did not rise Ihr the purpose of putties any questions to the Noble Earl at the bead of the Treasury, bet to say that what he had prophesied would occur, and that all classes is Scotland would express *wit sad.. faction at thy premat system of banking there. It was in a great measure to the Judicious mods in which it waa conducted that S cot l an d one s h er swipe from the late difficulties : but Mi. ousters might say they foresee • eisange. lie would recommend to the NoWs Easi not to meddle with a system which was so snub approved i if he did he wotild ball petition. from ail quactess . if then roomy, pippaiips their nuestisfarticm of say such rosy. ference. The Order. of the Dpy howl road. th e Ham n• 01.14 kWf into a Committee twat the Danz Charter BBL The Rol of LIVERPOOL withed to briar, their twedigdpe atteutiou to a pufat of some importance. The bank of England had the power of estabiahing branch banks, but a doubt had arisen whether they bad the power of giving the necessary die. cretionary pow..rs to their agents, which are requisite to transact the ordain', Mishits.% of banking. In order to give them this pewee, and to oiatile theni practically to carry into effect the in. minion of the Act, he intended to propose a clause which he then held in bit hand, and which he wished to he read to their Lordships.. It might not lead to the establishment of branch banks ' but he was stare the liberality df the Batik of England would permit banks to be established where they did not set Meat up themselves. The clause might he read now, and printed with the Bill, which would be recommitted on Wednesday or Thursday, when any diacuasiun upon the principle of ate clause might take place. After a ennvenation between the Earl of LAUDERDALE Ana Lord LIV►aPoOL, Friday WAS fixed upon for the re•coouuiunent of the Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWN did not wish to oppose any clause which erabled the Bank of England to establish branches, but he should wish to have Lbw branches compelled to pay in gold whenever they issued mites. Disputes had arisen in Ireland upon this point, and the Noble Marquis believed that by legal dedsions the Batik was obliged to pay where their notes were issued. But an alteration was made, by which the law was evaded ; and he should like to ace the Bank compelled to pay, not only in London but wherever their notes were issued. The subject he con sldeved of considerable importance, and he would reserve the dis cussion of it, as well as of the clause proposed by the Noble Earl, until Friday, when he would take the opportuitity of crating his opinions. The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished the Otiose to be read. The Earl of ILA FT ESBU It I', as Chairman of the Committee, read the clause. Lord iii.VENBOROUGH thought the wording of the clause did not give as much power to the branch as was exercised by it-y bankers. There ought to be a great latitude allowed them. It would be difficult to establish any number of them, and every facility should he afforded them. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not imend to Propose any amendment, but at -the future stages he avoid state his opinion. His Lordshipthen proceeded to make some objections to the manlier in which it was drawn up, and pointed out some inaccuracki. His alms lions were not audible. %Ve ivdersitiod his Lurdaliip to be friendly to the principlo of the Bill, and he was anxious to have it drawn up without any ambiguity. The clause was then agreed tn. - The Earl of LAUDEILDALE wished the recommitment to ' take place on Friday. The Kai of LIVERPOOL thought it would be as convenient to recommit the Bill on Wednesday. but he had no objection to a postponement until Friday. The Bill. with the amended clause, might be reprinted, and recommitted on Friday.--( ordered. Their Lordships adjourned a half past Six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MosnAv, FEB. 20. A new Member, whmie name did not reach the gallery, appeared at the table, and took the nathm. Mr. liutChinson, from the Bank of England, presented nn Ac count of the Balance of Public Jloney in the hands of the Bank, which was ordered to he printed. An Officer from the Treasury presented an Account of Hops ex ported during the last year, and an Account of %Wool, Cotton, and Indigo imported during the acme period.

Sir J. NEWPORT presented a petition from theCorpomtion of Waterftitrd in favour of the Bill. Sir e. CHETWVNI) presented a petition from an individual of the name of H. H. Moreno, against the Birmingham and Li verpool Railroad Bill. The individual in question stated that he hail been described in the perition for the Bill as a subscriber to the proposed road In the sum of &ha, whereas he wholly objected to the measure, and stated that the sante was done without his . knowledge, privity, or consent. After some conversation between the Speaker. Sir G. Chetwynd, and Sir J. Winttesley, the petition was brought up, and referred to the Standing Order Committee. _ _ _ Sir J. WitoTTUSLEY presented a petition from Lord Vis count Anion against the Bill. and stand that in the petition for the Bill Lord Anson was described as s sub.scribrr, a circumstance which the petition of his Lordship entirely contradicted. The petition was then brought ttp, and referred to the same Committee. Sir J. WItOTTESI.F.V presented another petition from Mr. George Pontney, a gentleman of Isrgenirofteft, against the Bill, who also was reprebewed to be a subscriber, but who stated in his petition that he was not so, which must harrheen well known to the framers of the petition, as he had called a Meeting of the neighbourhood in which hr resided agaimit the measure. H e (sfr J. Wrottesley) considered that the use of the names of the peti. tioners in the way described was a breach of the privileges of Par liament. The SPEAKER said that the petitioners (lid not allege any wil. ful or corrupt intention on the part of the persons who had pieced the names of the petitioners to the petition for the Bill, and the House would therefore be very unwilling to attach such motives. There clearly could not be a breach of privilege unless some inten tion of fraud was matte out. The Petition was th^n referred og shove. NEW CORN-3IA RKET. Mr. Alderman WOOll presented a Poition from certain inha. blunts of Mark-lane and its neighourhood, in favour of the Bill tot the erection of a New Corn market.

TAYLOR presented a Petition front the inhabitants of the city of Durham. ogainet Slavery in the Colonies. The lion. Member described it to he signed by persons of the first respe:ta hility, and prayed that the House would tnke the ca , e of Colonial Slavery under its consideration; for although Parliament had inter fered. nothing had as yet been done. He described the voice of the petitioners to be in union with that of the whole country. Similar petitions were then presented, from Stroud by Sir Wil liam Guise, front Weilnestutry by Mr Littleton, from Warmin ster by Mr. Benert, who said that it had been charged that the pe titions for the aludition of slavery were all got up at the same shop, but if tile, were so manufactured, it only showed thst it was the unanimous voice of the people of England. The petition he had the honour to present, however, differed from all others, inasmuch as it prayed the House to remove the.bounties and drawbacks on colonial produce, as the best means of carrying into effect the prayer of the Petition. The several Petitions were ordered .. .to lie on the table. ASSESSED TAXEs. Sir THOMAS A(2I.A ND prennted a Petition from Bideford, praying for the Repeal of the Assessed Tazes.—Ordered to lie on the table. PAPER CVRRENCV. Mr. GRENFE Li. said he had & motion to make respecting small notes of the Bank of England, but as he did not see the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his place, he was willing to defer it till to.motrorr, if such should be the wish of the House; at the same time he thought it necessary to state that he hid obtained the consent of the Bank on the subject. Mt. HERMES said that as the lion. Member had obtained the consent or the Bank, he was not aware that his Majesty's Go vernment would make any objection. Mr. GRENFEI.I. then moved that there be laid before the House sa Ae:otint or Prumi.sory Notes of the Bank of England under U., in circulation on Saturday, Feb. 18,1826.—Ordeted. COUNTY COURTS. Mr. WYVILb presented a Pe:ition from the Merchants, Bank ers, and Traders of the City of York, praying the House to adopt measures for the more speedy recovery of small debts. Mr. 110111IOUSE begged to ask the :Cottle Lord (Althorp) whether it was his intention to bring forward any measure during the present Session on the subject. Lord ALTHORP said that it was not his intention to bring farward any measure connected with the subject of the recovery of small debts. It was not from any alteration of opinion that he was led to the determinatinn, - but front feeling that it was impossible for any Individual Member to carry it. For two years the measure had passed that House almost unanimously, and yet it had been rejected in the other. The Hun. Member said that he was sorry that the Right lion. (lent. the Secretary of State for the Home Department was not in his place. because he should have pressed upon him the duty of his Majesty's Government taking tip the i measure, as it would be recollected that they had given it their support n that House. lle trusted, however, that after what had been said they would not allow a measure of such importance to escape their at tention. The Petition was then brought up, and ordered to be printed. CORN Mr. HOBHOUSE preiented a Petition from certain inhabitants of Westminster, praying for a Commission to be appointed for the equalizing the price of corn., Toe Hon. Member said that he did hot agree with the petitioners, but considered it hie duty to present the Petition. The Petition was then brought up, and ordered to be printed. MR..KEN . I!ICF. DENISON presented a petition from Wm. Keswick. The petition restated the circumstance% which had been lately investi gated by the House, and concluded by infir.ming the House that since the examination of the witnesses, the petitioner had found =tear which had been written by Mr. Peters. in answer to one ed by the petitioner to him. and which the petitioner's Counsel had stated to be lost. The letter was then read; i t state d that Mr. Peters had no recollection of the circumstance to which the affidavit enclosed by Mr. Kenrick alluded ; that he had no re. collection of granting a warrant to search Franks's house, and if the ailklasit was required only on that ground it could not be of any use t and that the real thief was afterwards discovered. Mr. ABE RC ROM HY remarked that there was no prayer to the petition, and therefore it could not be remised. The SPEAKER said the House would be anxious to give the petitioner every latitude; but as lie had had the opportunity of being beard at the bar of the House personally, or by his Counsel and A cents, and as his Courpel had a•tended, he thought the Homo would go beyond its usual pr .ctice if it entertained the petition. Mr. C W. WYNN said that the petition prayed of the Man. House to take the rase or the petitioner into consideration, and do jugiee in his ease. Then was a.** the copy of a letter attached to it, and no petition could be received with any paper attached td it. The House might. if It pleased, tali for the paper, ancdhave the hand-writin proved. Mr. AH IRCftuMRY said thit the conduct of the petitioner was the most extraordinary and irregular po sable . The flou , o had resolved iateif into a t'dmmittee .0 inqtere into Mr. Renririf e conduct; his Couneel and Agent hid attended. and had had an opportunity of producing eery fact before the House; but if any fact had been omitted to be stated, it could have been done by Counsel. For Mr.Kenrick, after the whole case had been gone into, to come down to the House *ith a peiitton, was the most irregular and extraordinary proceeding that ever took place. The Chair bad stated the anxiety of the !loose to give the petitioner every proper latitude; but what was the sltitatioh of Mr. Peterill? If tb re had been any ground for doing so could he not have been cross-se. 'mined ? Mr. Peters wAs a gentleman of the greatest respect*. bility and a 31agistrre, e.'nd whose testimony stood trampreched benne the House and the country, and it would be highly improper to take any stiventent of fact. from that petition to be true and just in the absence of Mr. Peters. The Hon. Oentleman said that he was sure the House, to sense dr jiistice, would never entertain the petition. The SPEAKER fetid then, was a double objection to receiving the petition ; the first etas its containing the copy or a letter, and the second that the letter itself was an original one and in ea, lstence. Slr. Secretary PEET/ said that If any obstruc•inn of jystferg were to take place from r e j e c t in g t h e petition, the House perhaps would pulse in doing so ; hut if the petition was withdrawn, there would he no objection to receiving a statement when the subjei3 came again under discussion. PRIVILEGE OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. lIOLFORD said he had been served with a summons to sttend on a Jury in the Court of ExchNt cr. but he understood that by the last Act passed, called the Jury Act, there was an express exemption for Members of Parliament. Mr. SCARLETT was understood to ,ay that he did not know , of any each exemption. Mr. C. W. WYNN said the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Scarier.) could sorely not be ignorant of, or so great a torttrger to, the vilegea of Parliament. as not to know that a Member could not be called upon in serve on any Jury during the sining of Parliament. The duty of attending Paelitment wan partinount to all other., which must he sufficiently a matter of nontriety. The questien was not a new one; for though privileged during the sitting of Parliament, the privilege did not extend when i: was not sitting : and that had been decided by Lord liardwi ke, in the case ut the then Member for Shoreham. Lord Ilardwicke was sating at Nisi , Prins. and the Hon. 3lember wan summoned to attend on a Jury. Conceiving himself privileged Lem attending, he ne,tiected :co dx so. and Lord Hardwick:: tined him, on the char understanding that he was privileged during the sitting of iatharuent, and at 02 other time. Mr. ELLICE said he could state that he had had the misfortune to be fined ; and that all his efforts to relieve himself from it had been ineffictual. the Court of Exchequer would Ilse,: the ti e. Mr. 11E1tRIES raid the words of the Act clearly intended to protect Members of Parliament during the sitting : :f ;hoe were any doubts nn the subject they certainly ought to be cle4red up. Mr. A DERCRO3IBY said that as there was a question raised, he hoped the next Act would include a precise eseinptica of Members during the sitting of Parliament. Mr. SCAR LL l'T thought that a Committee of Privileges wee flit:pont competent authority on a subject like tae present; if the point of privilege grew out set an Act of Parlian;ei t the cast might be otherwise " Mr. WILLIAMS said that whatever mistake minht have arisen upon the present subject, he was decidedly of opitiMa thst when Member of Parliament was retending•to tae duttes as a Member or that llou•e. either in the House itself or in a 'private Committee, he was exempted from attendance on any other Court. Ile cons'. dered that the authority of Parlinfnent overruled that of the inferio: courts, The Court of Exchequer eutertained a eontrary opinion : he did not, hOwever, feel less confident in the correctness of the view Ile had taken. Mr. PEEL sled that a Committee of Priel7egcs could remove ail doubt on die point, and not have morn for tiny piwaibility of cavil on the subject. A physician, while practising, was by law exctot.t twin attending en Courts of Justice as Jura: but though he had taken care of that phut in the Itiq he irtroenced into the House. ; he did not like to tread on the heelsof the privileges of Parliamen , . lie would therefore move, " That the objeetion ►.erefrmd to & tCommittee of Privileges, to sit to.tnormw."—Agreed to. ABOLITION OF SLAvEItY. Mr. ASlll.7llSTpTseniea frM;l iShipplng.NortOni praying the Abolition of Slavery. Similar petitions were presented from Kingston-upon-Hull an - t Selby I also by Sir William Rowley from Bury St. Edmunds ; by Thomas Lethbridge from Weliingtnn and .3lelburn ; by Lot Duncannon from alton ;by 31r. Aberersuby from Caine in Wiltshire, and from,Dunbar ; by Ir. Spring ltice from Hallinter: in the county of Kitilare. Mr. SYKES presented a petition from the Clergy„Bankers, an t Inhabitants of Leeds, praying the abolition of slavery. He rant that after the whole country had so decidedly expressed its opinion on this interesting subject, it was the ditty of Govern-Mem to come forward with some measure expressive of theirs. SILK TRADE. Lord A LTHORP praianted a petition from the Silk Throws ten of Burton-upnn-Trent against the impartation of foreign silks. A similar petition was pretknteil by Captain Percy from George Urge, silk throwster. FOUR AND HALF PER CENT. DUTrES. _ Mr. NOM E moved (We a retu ir; or ti; e TiMrta;t 07;ha 4 • far Cent. Duties, with the amount of pensimis and charges paid thereon. —Ordered. Also for the amount of seizures of slants made in the district of Dublin for one year, with the amount of lion imposed, and whether those flacs were levied or remitted. AVEST INDIA. COMMISSION. Lord NUGENT wished to know. a l.at was the intention of Go vernment relative to Mn. Wallace's report. lie could not collect whether it was thcit de!ennination to bring in a bill founded on tl..t report. Ile was also anxious to know if they purposed tt bring forward any measure relative to the Courts of Justice in the West India Islands. Mr. %V IL3IOT HORTON (as we tinderstood) said that there was hut one Commissioner no* surviving ; that they would in the course of the month have an opportunity of obtaining information (tom him, and that would be the time for Government to come to a decision as to the course they should pursue. lard NUGENT said that after the explanation given by the Honourable Member, he would be contented to give a conditional notice that he would (if the subject was not previously brought for ward) bring in a bill relative to the Administration I,IJ sauce in the West India Islands the first open day after Easter. Mr. %VII ITMORE moved for au account of the quantity of foreign rapeseed imported into Great Britain for the last three years.—Onleted. Lord FOLKSTONE said that he held a petition in his hard. not, indeed, numerously signed, but by a single individual. ye ' whose talents he had the highest opinion—he meant Mr. %Vinton% Cobbett. That petition related the currency. Mr. Cobbett'is predictions as to the result of former measures connected with that subject turned out to be true; and he, Mr. Cobbett, was of opmisms that the measures now before the House would be productive of the same injurious effects. lie coincided with these views, and had the greatest confidence in the reasonings of the petitioner on that subject. lie, in that petition, waned the House rot to pass the bill now agitated without accompanying it by some protecting mea sures, which he conceived to be the reduction of the taxes to the state they were in before the circulation of paper superseded the metalli: circulation of the country. Colonel JOHNSON thought that Government had relinquished the measure, and would never again revert to their original opi nions. Ile hoped the views of the petitioner would have th , weight they certainly were entitled to. rite following petition was theft read. " To the Honourable the Corantors of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, " The Petition of William Cnbbett, of .Kennington, in the County of Middlesex, " Most humbly shows, " I.
