the Hon. Member fur Oxford. He did so with the coil , urrence of the Hon. Member for Colchester himself. He did ts, , t think the House of Commons a fit arena for discussion upon private character, hut after the manner in which this matter had heen mooted, he hoped there would he no objection to the appointment of a Select Corn znittee to investigate the matter next session. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said he had not shown any restlessness whatever on the subject, because he die not consider that his character wanted vindication. Every Member who entered that House brought with him his credentials in the confidence of his constituents. No one could show a prouder testimonial of this nature than hims It for this Was the sixth Parliament to which he had been returned for the same place, and that the place where he was horn, where he had been known from his childhood, and where he had not a single acre of land to influence a single vote. But if any gentleman wished for an explanation of Any act of his life, he was reedy to give it.—(Hear, bear.) When the Hon. Member for St. Albans gave his notice some weeks back, he took the great liber•y of requesting 14 or 15 Members of this House. upon whose friendship t.e had no clam, and whom he selected either because they were connec ed with the legal profession, or because they belonged to extreme parties, to listen to his state ment. They hail done ao, and he was able to state that those gentlemen had come to the unanimous reeoluton that his conduct as a gentleman was in every respect satisf wtory. The reasons why he was anxious not to enter at any great length into the subject at preeen. were these :—Last session it was brought forward on a motion to refer the matter to a Select Committee, and it was opposed, hut so strong was the feeling of the House in his favour, that it was lost by only a small majority. After that he renewed the subject, and the Attorney- General of that day prom'sed that it should undergo inquiry before the Common Law Commission. He then appeared before the Common Law Commissioners, and he le.rnerl with regret that while they were prep :red to receive any statement which would justi.v them in recommending an alteration in the sysoem of admitting and rej sting persons applying to be called to the Bar, it was not their province to go into any particolar case, so as to enable them to exprees any oninion upon it. He then presented a petition to the Twelve Judges, praying them either to look into the matter them selves, or to direct the B nchers again to examine into the case. The Judges said in answer that as he had not made another application to the Bencliere, they could not interfere.—( Hear.) Conceiving that that measure implied a recommendation to apply again to the Benchers, he did so. and the benchers very promptly named a day when he could be heard, and also permitted him to have conned, and a short hand writer. Many Alenibers of this House having taken an interest in the case, about twelve of them attended with him, and requested to be admitted to the Benchers' room. Th« Bench• rs, however, came to a resolution not to admit those Memhers. He mentioned that merely to show that he had ever anxiously wished to have the whole circumstances investigated, that he was desirous to have Members of this House to be wit nesses of what passed. It appeared to him most extraordi nary that while this House exercised a sovereign jurisdiction over all matters and things, and brought within its cognizance evelthing th it took place in Court. of .Itietire, there should exist one tribunal— Lord ALTHORP rose to order. He had not inter rupted the Hon. and Learned Gentleman while hie state ment was merely personal ; but he begged leave to suggest, that it would be better, as there Was no question before the House, to refrain from atteekirig any other potty Mr D. W. HARVEY did not wish to approach to an att sek on the &ocher., but be wished to state wheel hail passed, for the information of the public. Under sorb stircurnet.ncee, he had thought that he should have been comprotnisMg his own dignity had he not protested against she conduct of the Benchers. He had since written to the Benchers that he was sail ing to enter upon the ca-e, provided they would permit one reporter to be present from the public press and one from the county of Essex. H e never ',y en ta w i thh4l his repeated protests against what I e knew to be an act of injustice. If any Air tribunal, consisting of three, five, or seven persons, slid net come to a unanimous resolution that he had been ire 'tell with great injustice, he would, on the ye , ' next day, nano.. for a new writ for the borough of Colchester. S , r J. SCARLETT would state that the decision of the Benchers had been confirmed by the twelve Ju-fgee, and whatever blame attached to the one must be shared by the other. Mr. 1) W. HARVEY—The Hon. and Learned Gen tlemen had s that he would abstain from any observa tions on the case; but no Hon. Member of that House was more capable than he was of conveying in a few words an unjust and injurious imputation. What the Hon. and Learned Member had stated was not true. The merits of the ease were not referred to the 12 Judges. Judges of England formed an open Court, and it was a libel on the Judges to say that they could sit in a Court, the principle of which was exclusion. What the Judges had slid was, that they could not depart from the decision of the Bencliere, whether the statements were true or false. His Counsel, Mr. Brougham and Mr. Denman, had been weitieg outride the door with 20 is itnesses in his behalf, and the Judges 11,01 come to a resolution not to examine any witnesses whatever.—(Hear.) THE UNIVERSITIES. Colonel WILLIAMS mov.ti that the Vice_Chance►lors of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge do present to tile House copies of the three Artic►es of the 36th Canon, a copy of the Edict of James the First, with sundry other documents, with a statement whether a subscription to the Canon was not done away with be►ween the years 1640 and 1650; and by what authority it was renewed. Ater a fi-w observations from Mr. PKYME and Sir .1. SCARLETT Lord ALTHORP assented to the motion, which was agree to. CORPORATION OF DUBLIN. Mr. RUTHYEN moved for a return of the estates and rental of the corpontion o' Mr. SHAW I , bj,cted to the production of the papers No grounds had been stated for the motion, and the returns were not matters of public interest. Mr. 12TTLETON saw no mounds of opposition that could he urged on the present occasion. The papers moved for would be of utility to the commission upon Corporate Char•ties. The SPEAKER said that all returns moved for must he made to the House itself, and could not in the interval of the sessOon he laid tefire any Comm6sion. Air. LITTLETON sti l that the returns might be ready to lay on the table of the House upon its meeting for the next ses,ion. The SPEAKER sail that no Commission could avail itself of those returns until the House should meet again. The motion was then put and carried. Mr. WALLACE moved for a return of the procurators and of their emolum , nts in the burghs of Scotland. The SOLICITOR GENERAL doubted if the Hon. Memher's motion cou►d be compiled with, inasmuch as it required that the procuritors and other judicial officers should e'ate the period they had taken up in their con sulting authorities, and in their private studies, to prepare frr a decision upon public cases. Mr. WALLACE supported the necessity of the return he had moved for. _ The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the return being made, as calculated to throw an indignity upon the Judges of Scorand. Mr. HUME was sorry he had not heard what his Hon. Friend bad said. When a motion was brought forward Atm e four year• ago to increase the salaries of the So.tch audttes lie (311.. Hume) had opposed that motion, on the ;;hound that he c , neeived they were much too numerous. He thought that the moldier of hours these Judges ap peared before the public were ye!) , few. He maintained that from every person who received public money in any capacity that Hou-e had a right to call for an account of bow his time was occupied. It there were any objections in point . f form, his Hon. Friend w•nind consent to with draw his motion, woh a view to remodel this return. Mr. KENNEDY felt satisfied that the motion could not produce returns which could be considered at all accurate in their result. _ _ Mr. WALLACE would next se•sion move for a Se lect Committee to inquire into these matters. The LORD ADVOCATE thought that the information m;ght be obtained in another way than that proposed by the present motion.-1 o , iim withdrawn. FACTORIES' REGULATION BILL. On the motion for the H use res. lying itself into a Committee on the F Armies' Regulation MI, Mr. COBBETT rose to complain of the imprisonment of some persons for sell ing tio.tamp e d p u bli ca ti o ns a t the pros , cotton of the St imp Office. He himself had had some expel ience of the manner in which Attorneys- General could act, and he knew that they could cut sharply enough; but he bait never known a Ki ng ' s At tornerGeneral pr.cierd with so much hat shness as the Sfatrp ()/Event* did,: It appealed that they had prose cuted 31)0 persons since they c..ine into office fur offence,. against the St.imp I,4ws. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said that they had not prosecti eti fluty such tiastsr - , - „und in reerence to the c.o.*. to which the Hon. tor Oldham had alluded. I e presutoed that the prosecution haul been orLitiated by com mon ilAformers, and to the' party haul been committed to prison in default of paymeni: of the penalty. Mr. HUME reprouxtettiThe conduct of Government is not having put down these procecutions ; and complained in strong terms of the effect of the Stamp Laws. The conversation here rl.opp-d, and the House resolved into a Committee on the Fact,rie.' Regulation Bill. On the 15th elau•e being read, Mr. ROBINSON proposed a verbal amendment, the effect of which was to limit the power of entering mill., by inspeetors on'y to the hours at which such mills should he at work.—Agreed to. On the 16th clause, An Hon. MEMBER stated that there prevailed a general feeling in this country against the enormous powers given by this cl -.use to the inspectors of mills . Mr. P. THONISON said it had been considered neces sary to make the powers of the inspectors as extensive as possible, in order that the working of the details of the arrangemrnts under the Bill might be facilitated. Mr. G. W. WOOD gated that the opinion of the ma nufacturers in the country was very strongly opposed to that clause, and the Hon. Member read an extract from a letter which he had that day received in confirmation of what he hail roved. Lord ALTHORP could not give up any of the powers of the inspectors, aril he thought that the manufacturers w. re hound to sul,mit thus far. Lord MORPETH was most anxious those persons should have extensive powers in order to render their office effectual Mr. M. PHILLIPS would ask whether thia clause wao ca►cu►ated to concilive the mrnufacturers, or whether it would not have the effect of hazariting the comforts of the children ? Mr. P. THOMSON said that the fears of Hon. Gen tlemen were guarded against by the 431 clause, which made cet tain provisions that returns should be made to the Secretary of State for the Home Department by the in spectors from time to rime, detailing all their proceedings Mr HARDY thought that the inspector« should be in structed to fence tiff the various parts of machinery in nrrier to protect the lives and limbs of the children em ployed. An How. MEMBER moved as an amendment to leave out all the words bl the clause after the word " interest" in the 41st line, the object of which am-ndment was, be stated, to deprive the inspectors of vexatious powers. Tile House then divided — For the amendment Against it Majority - - -8 During the exclusion of strangers, Mr. G. WOOD proposed an amendment, the object of which we could not ascertain. The H.u'e divided— For the amendment 2l Against it 37 Majority —l6 Mr. WOOD proposed that the words " names" and " ages" (of the children) should be left out. The galery wis clear-d, but no division took place. Mr. HARDY proposed an amendment, which went to provide for such a construction of the machinery as would effectually protect the persons of those working in the factories. Mr P. THONISON oppn.ed the clause. _ _ Mr. HARDY sai I it would be easy for any person to perceive by mere inspection what part of the machinery it might be necessary to fence off. Lord ALTHORP thought the amendment quite un neee.sary. Mr. HARDY was not aware of any remedy at common law in such cases. Mr. P. THONISON thought the Hon. Member would defeat his own object by removing responsibility from proprieti,rs. Sir. WOOD protested against having persons engaged in this branch of trade placed under the care of the law, and held up to public odium. Why not extend the same principle to all trades ? Were there no lives lost in coal mines and similar works ? Mr BOLLING was both a collier and a spinner, and why should he not legi.late for the protection of life in one case as svpll as the other. Mr. HARDY was quite reedy to act upon the same principle of protection in every cise where life might be endangered, and particularly where children were em ployed. In the works with which he was connected, the machinery w is fenc.d off. Lod MORPETH would support the amendment if it was pressed. Mr. O'DWYER supported the amendment. Mr. COBBETI' said the object was to make those masters careful wt.o might not be so. No imputation was meant to he cenveyed on the manufacturers generally. Mr. ROBINSON supported the amendment. Mr. HUME deprecated the principle of the Bill. Why not have inspectors to visit every gentleman's ki , chett, to see that the servants did nor burn themselves with the tea kettle.? Lepislarion of this kind was worse than useless. Mr HARDY said the ptineiple of the Bill was protec tion, and it was upon that principle he acted, The House divided— For the amendment Against it Majority -47 The clause, a. amended, wa4 agreed to. Mr. WOOD objected to the clause which gives a power of appointing local in.ipeciors under the four general in spectors, and proposed that it be expunged. The House divided— For the clause Against it Majority The clause was agreed to. Clause IS being put— -m Mr. T. ATTWOOD would propose an amendment to the following eff et:—" If the parents should desire it." Mr. HOWARD thought it would be better to leave this matter to the parents themselves. He did not think the boys would gain much by being enabled to read news papers, or the girls to read novels. Mr. P THOMSON thought this clause was one of the most important in the Bill, and that part which related to the education of the factory children he regarded as of viral interest. The deduction of one penny in a shilling our of the child's wages was the maximum, and it was a provision solely for the purpose of insuring compliance with the enactments of the BM. Mr. T ATTWOOD assured the Right Hon. Gentle men that threepence out of a week's wages of three shillings was a very severe deduction. Lord MORPETII and Mr. ROBINSON supported the clause. _ Mr. COBBETT was against all forced education, but as this clause would give two hours less labour to the children he would support it, but upon that ground only. Mr. HUME looked upon this clause as a first instal ment towards a general system of education in this coon• try.—(Hear.) MT. AGLIONBY and Mr. Wass were in favour of the clause. Mr.T. ATTWOOD agreed to withdraw his amendment. Mr. P. HOWARD then moved as an amendment th it the deducti, n from the children's wages should not ex ceed one penny a week. The pupils in the national schools did not pay more than a penny a week. Mr. P. THONISON defended the clause in its original state A penny a w.ek would be too small an amount. The Committee then divided— For the amendment 4O Against it 55 Majority —ls Clauses 19 an , l 20 were then agreed to. On clause 21. the gallery was clesred for a division, hut none took pace, and the clause was agreed to. Causes 22 to 44 were carried, except clause 32, which was omitted, and 42. postponed. The Committee then divided on clause 45, when the numbers were— For the clause 32 Against it 4O —9 Majority The 421 clause was struck out. The remaining clauses were agreed to. On the queir ion that the preamble be agreed to, Mr. G. W. WOOD objected to it, on the ground that it was of a criminatory character, and, therefore, be would move that a new preamble he sulistitured.—Agreed tn. Ttie House having resumed, the report was ordered to he received this day. The House then proceeded to the other orders of the day, and, having resolved itself into a Committee on the Buck inghani Palace L did Revenue Act, a sum of 55.0001. was .cited for the completion of the fittings, furniture, Bcc., of Buckingham Palace, on the motion of Lord DUNCANNON. SALE OF BEER ACT. Mr. RICE, having moved that the H. use resolve into a Committee of the whole House on the Sale of Beer Act, ,nd the Speaker having left the chair, the Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded to state that the resolution he was hut to propose to the Committee was not founded upon the recommendation of the Committee. It was considered with a view to raise the character of the beer shops it Wall better to increase the amount of license duty. It was not intended to increase the jurisdiction or power of the Ma ostrates except in the way of police regulivions. The , e.idirion proposed that the license duty for the sale of beer -hook' he 5/., and for cider 50s. Mr. WARBURTON did not wish to oppose the intro duction of thy B i ll propose d t o be founded upon this rest). ution ; taut, looking to the numerous cla.s oh . persons who were interested in the measure, it was impossible it . should pass unless it were in every particular q uite unobjection- able. To any Bill founded on the report of the Committee he would give his derided opposition. Colonel WILLIAMS suggested that persons keeping beer shm s -hould be rerrictrd to the sale of beer, which beer should not he dr,nk on the premises. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought none of the recom mendations of the Committee were worthy of attention. The resolution was then reported. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at half-pot one.

SCOTT'S novels became a topic, a new one being out. One or two of the company expressed preferences among them. Before opinion han gone farther, Lady HOLLAND proposed that each person should write down the novel he liked best. Paper and pencil were passed, and a slip torn off as each wrote. Nine were i anded to her, and each had the name of a different no v e l !--a happy illustration of the various merits of the fascinating writer.—Rush's Narrative of a Residence at the Court of London. EAST INDIA HOVSE. (Concluded from The Sun of Yesterday.) Sir C. FORGES would never consent to the Bill, which was one of spoliation and robbery. He would have a meeting called to consider wln-ther the Company should place upon the natives of India the additional burden of 630,0001. a year. From a moderate estimate the plan of Government would place an additional burden upon the natives of India of one million sterling. He held the opinion, that if the Company continued to participate in the China trade the profits wou d be greater than ever. He had heard that , he Indiin navy was to he abolished ; if so the pirates would materially obstruct the Indian trade. The Bill he would never consent to. By the China Bill it was proposed to place a tonnage upon British vessels at Canton. This the Do ectors must oppose. He concluded with moving the following amendment : " That the Court of Directors be instructed to intimate to his Majesty's Ministers that the Court of Proprietors cannot with justice to themselves and to the people of India consent to place their commercial Charter in abeyance under the pro visions of the Bill now before Parlianse..t for effecting an arrangement with the East India Company, and for the better government of his Majesty's Indian territories,' because, whilst by the provisions of the said Bill the proprietors of India Stock are to receive only the same yearly income and the same amount of capital, at the expiration of their proposed Charter, as they were entitled to under their present and for mer Charters, their security will be greatly lessened by the withdrawal of their commercial assets, and their exclusion from the trade with China, and they will be made wholly de pendent for their dividends on the Indian revenue, in which th,re is a growing deficiency at a period of profound peace, after pushing retrenchment to the utmost, although taxation has been carried to an extreme length, and ought to be dimi nished instead of being increased, which cannot be attempted without great danger to British supremacy, and great misery to the natives of India, already the most heavily taxed people on the face of the earth ;* but which increase of tax ation must inevitably take place, in order to meet the heavy additional charges arising out of the proposed plan for the future government of India, if unhappily it shall be persevered irl ; a plan by which despotic power will be placed in the hands of one man over a hundred million of British subjects, and over every authority in India. not excepting his Majesty's Courts of Justice." Mr. FIELDER seconded the amendment, and said not one word of what the Hon. Proprietor had stated in pro• posing the resolution was in support of it. He contended that India ought to be placed on the same footing as re gards the admission of sug tr with the West Indies. The Bill as it now stood would not confer any benefit on India. He opposed the continuance of the College of Haileybury, and hoped that it would not go out to India that the Company had passed such a bill as that before them—that the Company had committed an act of felo de se. Dr. GILCHRIST, Mr. WEEDING, and others addressed the meeting, after which Mr. R JACKSON replied. The CHAIRMAN then put the qm.stion, but in conse quence of the lateness of the hour, he stated he could not count the numbers and a division was called for ; when there appeared—For the amendment, 11; for the original resolutions, accepting the Bill, 40. The original motion was carried. A ballot was requested, and fixed for Friday next.... (S e e Advertisement.) The Court then wtjourned. * Expression of the present Secretary of the Board of Con. trol in the House of Commons. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE BANK AND LORD ALTHORP. We subjoin the correspondence which has taken place between Lord Al.horp and the Bank, on 'he subject of the amendments made in the Bank Charter Bill, re id at the Court of Proprietors yesterday by the Gwernor as follows. The first lever was from Lord Althorp to the Court of Directors, dated July 4. It was addressed to himself:— "My dear Sir, —Finding the opposition of the country bankers too strong for me, on the question of limited liability, my colleagues have decided that I must not persevere in this proposition. I shall accordingly postpone till next session any measure relative to country bankers, except that compelling all issuers of paper to compound for the stamp duty. As it is possible that the directors of the Bank of England may think that by thus wi.lidrawing the encouragement which I in tended to hold out for the formation of joint-stock banks, not of issue, I diminish the advantage which they anticipated from those banks so much as not to enable them to afford the repayment to the public of the L:0,000/. a-year, on which we had agreed, I write this note to you that you may consult the directors at their court to.morrow. It is right, however, to add, that the opinion of the House of Commons appears to me to be, that the terms on which we concluded our engagement are exceedingly disadvantageous to the public, and therefore it will be impossible for me to propose any alteration in them which should be still more disadvantageous ; but I must ad mit that, after this alteration, the Bank are quite free to say that they will not consider themselves bound to any thing proposed between you and myself, and, consequently, to de cline accepting the terms as they will now stand. " Believe me, dear Sir, yours most sincerely " Downing-street, July 3" " ALTHORP. T. e resolution of the last Court of Directors was, that the Court of Directors, under the circumstances, were willing to adhere to the terms, notwithstanding the post ponement of the rlau-e. On the 6tti of Ju y the legal advisers of the Bank reported that the clause a. to the limitation of sixty-five miles was struck out; on which the Deputy.Goverruir, the Governor being absent, addressed the following letter to L.rn Althorp:— _ _ " Bank of England, July 6, 18133. " My Lord,—ln the absence of the Governor of the Bank of England, I lose no time in calling your Lordship's attention to an alteration of the Bank Bill, materially affecting this cor poration. It was agreed between your Lordship, acting on the part of his Majesty's Government, and the Court of Directors, that the restrictions at present operating to prevent the esta blishment of banks within sixty-five miles of London would be continued, except that banks at a greater distance should be allowed to draw on London. At one time it was proposed by your Lordship to allow the establishment of banks, not issuing paper, at a distance of twenty-five miles from London, but which was subsequently waved by your Lordship. In con. fortuity with this agreement, it was expressly stipulated in the draught of the Bi I, approved by Mr. Harrison, the counsel of the Treasury, that no bank with more than six partners should carry on any banking business within the metropolis, or sixty. five mil.,s thereof. " The proviso in question had been submitted to the Court of Directors, and was stated to a Court of Proprietors as one of the points agreed upon between this corporation and his Ma jesty's Government. lam now informed that this proviso is struck out of the clause. The 11,2 k not having received any communication from your Lordship on this very material alte ration in one of ttie most essential points of the banking system of the country, I have taken the ear iest opportunity of sub mitting the same to the Committee of the Treasury, who pre sume to express the hope that the omission has arisen from mistake.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's very obedient servant, " JAMES PATTISON, Deputy Governor." No answer was received_ to this communication, and on the 11th July be (the Governor) waited upon Lord Al. thorp, and his Lordship said that his Secretary should forward an answer, which was accordingly received, and tins was the answer " Downing-street, July W. " My dear Sir,—Lord Althorp has spoken to Mr. Harrison on the subject of Mr. Freshfield's letter, and directed him to do what may be necessary to remove the cause of your alarm. Lord Althorp has no objection to Mr. Freshfield being put in communication with Mr. Harrison, that this object may be effected to your satisfaction. " Believe me, my dear Sir, very truly yours, " R. M. Raikes, Esq." " F. DRUMMOND. On the same day the Bank Solicitor forwarded to the Treasury the clause altered so as to exclude banking bu siness with , n 65 miles of London. On the Ist of August the 3,000,0001. were to he given back, and this was the subject of the following letter to Lord Althorp " Bank of England, Aug. I. " My Lord,—You are aware that the last advance of 3,000,0001 by the Bank, for the use of the public, is, by the 56th George 111., c. 96, 'to be repaid at such time or times as Parliament should direct, but so as such repayment of the said principal sum, with all arrears of interest thereon, should be made and completed on or before the Ist of August, 183.3 ;, and in the draught of the Bill for continuing the exclusive pri vileges of the Bank, as prepared under the direction of the Lords of the Treasury, that sum was amalgamated with the general debt due from the public to the Bank, and making the aggregate of 14,696,8004, of which total sum one-fourth, or 3,6 71,700/., was to be repaid. Under these circumstances, it was the expectation of the Court of Directors of the Bank, that t h e measure now pending in Parlia ment, rela t i ng to the Bank, m i g ht have been completed , or at le ast have s o far advanced as to avoid all questions respecting this portion of the debt, and which was the more material, as the interest is not, in strict. fl eas, provided for beyond the present day. " On the part of the Bank, it is our duty to express our readiness to receive the 3,000,0001. and interest to this day ; but we make this communication only as a matter of official accuracy, without intending in the remotest degree to embarrass the arrangements of his Majesty's Government. What we request is, the favour of returning us an assurance that the interest will be provided for until Parliament shall take some course for discharging the principal, either specifically or by including it with the general debt due from the public to the Bank. We have the honour to be, &c. " R. M. RAIKES, Governor. " J. PATTISON, Deputy-Governor. " The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer." No answer was received to this communication. On th e sth of August the Deputy-Governo r an d hi mself were r equired by Lord Althorp to wait u p on hi m, when his Lordshio stated that, after consulting the law officers of the Crown, they were of opinion that batiks of deposit might be established within the matropols and its vicinity tinnier the old Charter. In consequence of this interview, 1 they addressed to Lord Althorp the following letter, dated on Tuesday, the 6th of August:— " My Lord,—Since we had the honour of waiting upon your Lordship, we have reported the particulars of our interview to those Directors who constituted the Committee of Treasury, and we feel that we should be acting disingenuously by your Lordship, if we did not state explicitly that their conviction, as well as our own, is, that banks of deposit cannot be per. milled within the limits intended to be fixed as the local limits of the Bank's exclusive privileges, without a positive infrac tion of the agreement made between his Majesty's Government and the Bank of England, and frequently recognised by your Lordship. The Directors perfectly rely on the good faith of the Government to give them the full benefit of this agreement. " We have the honour to be, &c. " R. M. RAIKES. Governor. "JAMES PATTISON, Deputy-Governor." To this letter the fuliowing answer wag reerived " Downing-street, Aug. 6. " Gentlemen,—After the conversation I had with you yes. terday, and more especially after the letter I received to-day, I feel that it is my duty to state to the House of Commons, that a misunderstanding on a part of the arrangement between the Bank and the Government has arisen, and topostpone the con. sideration of the Bank Charter Bill till Thursday. _ . . " The promise I made in conversation that I would insert a proviso in the Bank Charter Bill, to prevent the establishment of joint-stock banks of deposit nearer the metropolis than 65 miles, was on the supposition that such was at present one of the exclusive privileges of the Bank of England. I never intended or contemplated an augmentation of their exclusive privileges. I therefore need not state to you that I think it inconsistent with my public duty to propose this alteration in the Bill ; and I shall therefore be obliged to you to let me know, previous to the meeting of the House of Commons on Thursday, whether you consider it not to be advisable for the Bank to accept the renewal of their charter unless this pro. viso be introduced into the Bill ; as, in that case, I should have to state to the House what has occurred, and to postpone to another session of Parliament the consideration of the sub ject, when the whole bargain must be reconsidered. "I have the honour to be, &c., A LTHO ZIP." The f01i0.% ing letter wa+ agreed on in reply, and way forwarded to Lord Aftliorp:— " Bank of England, August 7. " My Lord,—We have to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter of yesterday, which we submitted to our col leagues in the direction. " It is scarcely necessary to remind your Lordship that the arrangement made with the Bank was founded on the policy entertained by his Majesty's Government in relation to the monetary system, which your Lordship pressed on the consi. deration of the Court of Directors, as favourable, in an increased degree to the interests of the Bank Proprietors, and which led to an ass mt on their part to pay a large consideration for the exclusive privileges to be so secured, whilst it was directly stated in your Lordship's proposals of the 2d of May, that the only relaxation of those privileges, as they then existed, was the permission for joint-stock banks, established at a greater dis tance than 65 miles from the metropolis, to draw bills and issue notes payable in London. " The privileges of the Bank, as they existed, precluded Par. liament (see 39 George 111., c. 38., s. 25.) front erecting, esta blishing, or allowing any other bank, during the con tinuance of the privileges granted to the Governor and Company of the Bank of England; and even persons who did not carry on the business of banking, if consisting of a partnership of more than six, were prohibited from bor. rowing, owing, or taking up money on their bills, &c., during the continuance of the privileges of the Bank, who are thereby declared to remain a corporation, with the privilege of exclusive banking. To a certain extent the exclusive pri vileges of the Bank were relaxed, with the consent of the Bank, by the 7th George IV., c. 48; and, although many at tempts have been made to e. ade the operation of the 39th George 111., c. 28, and the advice of the ablest lawyers was sought with that view,—yet it was found impracticable to car ry on any banking business by joint-stock companies, except so far as was allowed by the Act 7, George IV " Having called your Lordship's attention to the provisions of the Acts in force when you made your proposals of the 2d of May, which were adopted by the Court of Proprietors, we beg leave to state that we require only on their behalf such a renewal of their privileges as fairly consists with those pro. posals. Disclaiming, therefore, any desire to obtain any ex. clusive privileges which they did not previously possess, but deprecating any infraction of those privileges by an express or implied sanction of banks which could not be allowed by Parliament consistently with the Act 39 and 40 George 111., c. 2S, and in order that the legal view of the subject may be more clearly understood, we have the honour to enclose a clause which has been hastily prepared by the solicitor of the Bank, which, if adopted in principle by your Lordship, will be open to the further consideration of the law-officers of the Bank, in order that this corporation may not be prejudiced by the haste in which it has been prepared, for the purpose of illustration rather than to conclude the corporation. " We have the honour to be, &c." (Signed as before.) On the following day they received this letter in r ply :-- " Downing.street, August 8. _ _ " Gentlemen,—l have considered the clause you left yester day, and have consulted my legal adviser upon it, and by his advice, I have to state to you that it does not appear to effect in the best manner the object you as well as myself have in view—namely, that of renewing the privileges of the Bank without any infraction of those privileges, and without giving any exclusive privilege which it does not possess. In conse quence, I have directed a clause to be drawn, which shall effect the object in view in a way which I hope will appear to you more satisfactory. I send the clause to you as it is drawn, and beg of you to tell me whether you agree to its insertion in the Bank Charter Bill.—l have the honour, &c. " ALTHORP." On the 9th of August (Friday) another letter was re rcewed from the Chancellor of the Exchequer at half past 11 o'clock : " Gentlemen,—l submitted the clause you gave me to my legal advisers, and they are of opinion that it does not inter. pret the law correctly. This being the case, and the principle on which we have agreed being that with respect to banks of deposit no alteration is to be made in the exclusive privileges of the Bank of England, I send you a clause which my legal advisers have drawn with a view of removing the ambiguity which at present exists on this point, whilst in their opinion it neither adds to nor takes away from the exclusive privileges of the Bank of England. " I shall be obliged to you to let me have an answer by three o'clock this afternoon, as I must proceed with the Bank Charte: Bill this evening. " I have the honour to be, &c. " ALTHORP." A Special Court was called, and an allbkVel was de livered to Lord Abhorp by three o'clock, as toll,.ws:— " My Lord,—We have to acknowledge your Lordship's let. ter of to-Jay, enclgsing a clause prepared by your legal ad visers, in lieu of the clause we had the honour to submit to your Lordship on the 7th inst. " Your Lordship's letter and enclosure have been considered by the Court of Directors, and we beg to state that, although, in our opinion, the clause prepared by your Lordship does not carry into effect, literally or substantially, the agreement en tered into between his Majesty's Governinent and the Bank of England, and that, contrary to the intention declared in your Lordship's last letter, it does ' take away from the exclusive privileges of the Bank of England ;' yet, considering the im portance of concluding the transaction, and of relieving com merce from the inconveniences of further delay, it is the de termination of the directors to submit to the terms now pro_ posed by his Majesty's Government. " We have the honour to be, &c., " R. M. RAIKES, " JAMES PATTISON." FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Memorial Bordelais.) We can state that, on the 30th of July, the Spanish Cabinet delivered a diplomatic Hoe to the English and French Ambassadors, by which his sLat Catholic Majesty, with the view of preventing the further effusion of blood and the desolation of a country to which he was so a , - tubed, proposed to enter into negotiations on the subject of the recognition of Donna Maria da G'oria as Queen of Portugal on the conditions following, and which Spain considered essential to maintain the trauquillity of Portugal: " Ist. That Don Pedro and Don Miguel be for ever ex cluded from the Portuguese territory. " 2d. That the Marquis of Palmella be Regent in the name of Donna Maria, who shall exercise the executive power ac cording to the old laws of the kingdom, until Portugal shall regulate, with the consent of the Great Powers, the conditions of the new Charter. " 3d. That all foreigners who have taken part in the con. test, be excluded from Portugal, except those who may desire to be naturalised, in order to enter into the service of the Regent. " 4th. An amnesty for all persons up to the day of the tri. umph of the Queen. " sth. A suitable annual income for Don Pedro and Don Miguel, to be paid out of the Royal treasury. " 6th. The debts contracted under the reign of Don Miguel to be recognised, and the honours and grades conferred by his Government to be accorded. " 7th. A treaty between England, France, and Portugal, never to recognise any other Princes as legitimate successors to the crown of Spain than those called to reign after the ancient law of the Spanish monarchy, re-established in 1830 by the abo. lition of the Salic law. _ . "6th. A guarantee, on the part of France and England, that Portugal will never permit, under any pretext, that the Spanish frontiers be troubled or menaced by political parties, who receive directly or indirectly their protection. " 9th. Donna Maria da Gloria is not to be allowed to marry any Prince of the three families reigning in France, England, or Portugal, but that the choice of her husband be regulated by the Continental Powers. " 10th. That the Government of Donna Maria shall never, without the previous assent of Spain, have a larger army than is necessary for the maintenance of order. " Subject to these conditions, Spain engages to re-establish its relations with the Government of Lisbon on the same foot. ing as during the reign of Don John VI." A grand sweep has taken place at the house of a great Embassy. Secretaries and all have been removed. It is said to have been a political movement, emanating from an illustrious potentate..../Iforning Post. '-..............., riticES OF STOCKS THIS OAT ''''.... c lg.
