money "engagements-'hate'been founded, - .and a' considerable! portionofithedistressesof the coun t-17*M be removed. --(Hear. hear !) - • The CIIANTELLOW Of the .EXCHEQUER said, he had been -reproached from year to -year for hav ing delayed:the- return to cash payments, and persevering in: a.-system which- had been repre synted injariots: to: the - commercial interests, and fatal /6 the prosperity of the'country ; and that night - he was - .called upon to pursue a diffe rent course, and principally to accommodate the „standard of value 'to the tunes :in which engage ments had been entered into. Now he should be very glad . to know from, the advocates of this course 'what standard. they would propose ? Was it the•stantlard of 1.797 they preferred ? Surely then, as -there were' many private debts (for he would-not now speak of the public debt) con tracted before- 1797,. still Unpaid, according to their o" , .vn principles the adoption of that standard would be a most flagrant act of injustice. There was no period when engagements were not enter ed into, subject to the return of Cash Payments: •The ultimate return was loudly demanded by every- , statesman •in the country, although some difference of opinion-might exist as to the proper perle'd for so doing• The Act of 1819 is now a year in-operation, and to recede and retrace our steps would, in his opinion, be not only childish, but an act of injustice •to every engagement that- has been entered into. He saw no other course to pursue but that which has been pointed out by Parliament. The Hon. • Member for Taunton (Mr. Baring) has not proposed tapledge the Parliament to any measure, but with a consider able degree of dexterity he wishes to submit the whole case to a Committee, and the Hon. Gentle man who followed him (Mr. Atwood) wishes to reduce the standard to the lowest state of depre ciation in which it & was during the war. He thought it was a most ruinous system to mix ' , up silver with the gold currency, and to make silver a legal tender; but, from the year 1721-to 1762 or 1763, silver had been a legal tender to any amount. It was then limited. to 25 pounds. The Hon. Member for Taunton (Mr. Baring) stated that the adoption of silver would effect a relief of 7 per cent. He would not enter into a mere fractional considera tion, but would view it on its general principles ; and he believed it was universally admitted by all those who had • ever turned their thoughts to the question, that a standard of one value - was infinitely more advantageous in any coun try than a mixture of many. It has been stated all the distresses of the country flow from the low prices. This he admitted in a great mea- sure was the case, but ►t was not confined to this country. Look to America and various other countries. Therefore it could not be attributed to the measure of 1819, or any other measures of this country. There must be some more ex tensive cause for this general evil. He thought that the sudden cessation of war contributed mainly to produce this effect, and he imagined there was not as much stress as there should be laid upon the two great superabundant harvests ; for, of course, the greater the produce the lower the prices must be. These, however, only af fected collaterally the immediate question before the House. The question for the House now to consider was, whether we were again to retrace our steps, and throw ourselves among the troubled and. stormy waves of a fluctuating cur rency ? If we were now to do so, there would be no respect paid to our proceedings ; an Act of 'Parliament would have no authority. This Act is now two years in operation, all the effects contemplated have been produced, and should . we now do it away, the consequence must be to alienate the confidence of the 'people from :the proceedings of that House.- 7 (Hear, hear!) Mr. GIiENFELL said, that the evident tendency cf the Amendment was to subvert the Act of the 9th of'the late King,*an Act which had passed . -with nearly the unanimous consent of Parlia ment : but he trusted the question . upon Which that Act was adopted rested upon a basis not - to be Sifalcen by any attack; direct or indirect. His lion. Friend, the Mover of the Amendment, had on a former occasion spoken of the Act in ques lion as being dangerous, from the uncertainty whictiit created upon the public mind . ; and yet his Hon. Friend proposed a motion t o re f er . the ' whole -question to a Conitrii,tee; or, in other words, to'open the subject again, and thus occa.- sion - that very fluctuation of opinion which h e himself had so st r o ng ly condermied.—(Hear'!): Mr. MONCE: said, that the cause of our present distress was to be found in the excessive taxation to which the people of this country'were subject, and the false principle of the standard by 10116 we had "arranged our currency'. The Honourable - Member for Portarlingion (Mr. Iticardo), in speaking of the subject on a former occasion, left entirely . out of conSider eti,m-the issue of country Bank paper. Since 1819, there was a considerable reduction in it.— Wlion'there was'a great fall in the price Of *com modities, it was evident that such .must be the effect because articles being cheaper; the same quantity of paper currency could not lie absorbed. In'tl; . e year 1818, the dillies on 'stamps for coun try, 14:iic-notes; amounted to 165,0001.; • in . 'lBl9, io 61, 00/. being less, by . upWards of 100,0001. ; and in TB2O, the diitio amounted onlytdc24,6ool. The Very reverse of . what Oceurred" hi the pro gross to a paper from a metallic currency, hap pened in the return'to mkallic currency. In the latter case gold and paper went on irnproving togetfi ,, r, mid The question was, liow far 'they Could go on so'? Thelreat increase' in the Civil List, in the aiiio!int of all salaries,' in tiftir mili "expenditure, and, in all branClies - of tile public service, would require noClesS cir culiting . .ftediliin of 40;000,0001: in Place!Of 35,000,000/. the "amount of their 'Metallic Cur . - rency whert• the Earl of Liverpool wrote on the subject. The whole' . amount of ' Paper now in circulation ;ktras about - 50,000,0001. Of . triig the 14arik of England paper 'anioniited t 0 .25,000,000/. the - country 'bank paper 'to 12',000,0001. and 1:,000,0t.nl. for" •frelandl must "be the efliict or having: all thia'''conVertible 'hito"gold ? 'Witt respeet . to - the Bank of - England he enter- tamed no doubt of its being fully prepared to pay in gold ; but Would any person say the same of the country banks ? He did not hesitate to assert that they were not altogether possested of 10001. in .gold to meet _the:Whole of their paper. They were solvent, no doubt; bnt when the de mand for gold came upon them they must send their Excheqdir bills and stock into the market, which .could'nat fail to prodUce a great depression in the funds. If 'stock fell to 501. or 601., gold would be poured in from all parts of Europe to purchase upon such favourable terms. It should he seriously con sidered what the probable demand for gold would be when cash payments were resumed. Many whose eyes had been unaccustomed to the pleasure of seeing a guinea would desire to have gold from the novelty of the thing. Many too would demand gold from mere malevolence, froni a wish to distress .and embarrass the 'country. There was a 'party, it should be remembered, who were at war with the House of Commons, whose principle . of hostility it was not to attack the Horse Guards, but to sow dissention and dis content through the medium of what occurred in that House. From all these circumstances great pressure must necessarily arise, from which it would require all the wisdom of Parliament to extricate them. One advantage, however, would folloW. It would be a warning to them never again to play tricks with the currency of the na tion. . Mr. RICARDO entered into an explanation of the difference between the measure adopted in 1819 and that which he had then proposed, and which, he said, would not require the purchase of a single ounce of gold on the part of the Bank. Had that measure been adopted, the alteration in the .value of money, iu consequence of it, would not have exceeded 4 or 5 per cent. ; and the argument of the Hon. Member who put the hypothetical case of France having her currency changed from metal to paper, was completely in favour of his (Mr. Ricardo's) opinion ; for all the complaints which he had heard that night were not against the difference so much between the relative values of two mediums of currency, as against the alteration of the value of money itself. The Hon. Member next proceeded to controvert several of the positions of the Hon. Member for Taunton. That Gentleman, he said, had spoken of silver as if the measure adopted for a return to cash payments was a new mea sure. The fact was, that up to 1797, both gold and silver were a legal tender.. At that period the relative value ceased, and if Government had not, by an Act of Parliament, closed the Mint against the large quantities of silver which were presented there to be coined, silver would have become the standard of the coun try. That very Act of Parliament which passed for this purpose, he would contend, established gold as the standard of the country ; therefore the measure now before the house was not new. He held it to be merely an assumption that gold had risen, because the relation of value between it and silver was altered. He might as justly as sert that the silver had fallen. He then adverted to the evidence of Mr. Baring before the Bank Cash Payments' Committee, to shew that that Hon. Member had been of opinion that gold was a preferable standard to silver. That llon. Mem ber, too, had talked of the mischief of re-agi tating this question ; yet he (Mr. Baring) did not scruple to come down to that House with propositions which would have the very effect of disturbing men's minds. He then argued, that labour shared the fate of every other commodity, and was equally with them affected by the fall of money. He adverted to the argument arising from a reference of the variation of the price of corn to an alteration of the currency. He attri buted the late depression of the price of that ar ticle to the great increase of the importation from Ireland and to the good harvest. Be sides, a reference to the variation in the price of corn for the last hundred years, .would shew that it had no great connection with the alteration of currency. He contended that _variableness was essential to a metallic standard ; and when it was stated that a de-. pression of that standard produced a depression in the value of commodities, it would have been candid to state also that a depression in the value of commodities, to a similar extent, took• place in other countries where the same standard was esta blished, so that the necessary consequences of employing such, a standard• here when they mani fested themselves, ought not to be attributed to the measure now brought under the consideration of the House. Mr. H. G URNEY felt himself bound to support the - proposition - of his Hon. Friend, the Member ,for Taunton, feeling that the distresses under which the country laboured were to be attribut ed to a varying standard. Mr. 14 - 7,r.Licr agreed with his Hon. Friend, the Member for Taunton, in what he had stated to be the effects of the measure of 1819, for the re sumption of Cash Payments; but at the same time he was in great doubt how he was to deal with the proposition of that Hon. Gentleman.— For he had to consider that the bad effects of the measure had in a great degree been endured, and that in fairness its benefits should be per mitted to take effect. There was one point of view on which this question had not yet been treated—at least with as much attention as it deserved—namely, the 'different situations in which the monied interest and the landed in ,terest were placed with respect to the political interest of the State. He would take the value of the landed property at about 37 millions, and that of the funded property at 28,millions. Sup posing then that the rent of the landed proprie tors was decreased one half, they would have the prospect of the rents of the landed interest re duced to 20 millions, and the income of the fancied interest swelled-to 40 millions. The CHANC E LLOR of the ExcluetrEa.---" No, no !" . Mr. ELLrcE.—lre would take the income of the funded interest at thirty millions, and that of the persons with fixed incomes at ten millions. But with respect. to the silent revolution which was affecting the political relations of the State, he would merely advert to the case of the Queen. —The moment the public irritation was raised to any formidable extent, the funded interest took alarm, and turned over to the support of Minis-. tern, Ile concluded by declaring, that he would choote the its evil in this case, and submit to the arrangement of 1319. Mr. PEARSE considered the agitation of the sub ject, after the ample and carefu discussion which had preceded e zneasftre, as highly injurious, in asmuch as- - uded to promote a diffidence in the public mind in the resolution and persever ance of Parliament. Mr. InvING said, he concurred generally in the sentiments contained in the very able speech of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Taunton; (Mr. Baring) but he could not agree with him that it was to the augmentation of the metallic currency we owed the great distress which per vaded the country. Hon. Gentlemen might be led to suppose that he (Mr. Irving) had changed his opinion on that subject, but he could assure the House that he had not. He always thought that they should return to a metallic currency, and nobody had ever heard from him a contrary opinion. In the view which he was enabled to take of the question of the currency, he came to the conclusion that it was not the plan itself, but the apprehensions attending it, that caused the depreciation which was so much felt. With re spect to the question immediately before the House, he would give it his• support ; but he ap prehended such a Committee would create strong expectations and alarm through the country. The Hon. Member, amidst loud cries of " Ques tion," was understood to say, that in ISI7 the importation of foreign commodities, with the foreign loans which were made, had narrowed the circulation of the country, and that, in a great degree, was the cause of the distress which prevailed. Mr. CILIPPS made some pbservations on the sys, tern pursued by the Bank. Mr. PEARSE ex plained. Lord A. HAMILTON said he would support the motion of his lion. Friend (Mr. Baring). He was of opinion that, sooner or later, the state of the currency should be investigated, and there fore no time was fitter than the present to insti tute an inquiry. His Noble Friend near him had been taunted as recommending rapine and spoliation. If blame was to attach to what his Noble Friend said, he (Lord A. Hamilton) was willing to take his share of it, though neither he nor his Noble Friend were advocates for rapine and spoliation; hut they wished that all should bear a part of the burden. When the agricul tural classes were reduced to imprisonment and poverty, he would put it to the Right lion. Gen tleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) whe ther it was right to upbraid with recommending rapine and spoliation those who would advocate their interests. After a few observations from Mr. J. SMITH in support of the original motion, and from Mr. T. WILSON, Mr. WODEHOUSE, Mr. 11. DAVIS, and Mr. Ald. HEYGATE against it, the House divided, when the numbers were— For the Motion - - - - 141 Against-it - 27 Majority 114 The House then went into a committee on the Bill. Mr. BARING made a few observations in answer to what had fallen fiom several gentlemen in the course of the evening. lie maintained that prior to 1797 gold and silver formed a legal tender; and if they did not choose now to return to the double standard, they would be perfectly justified in rais ing the value of the sovereign to 21s. The CHANCELLOR of the ilxcitEeuEa expressed his belief that if the present measure did not re store them to a permanent metallic currency, it was in vain to hope success from any other. Mr. BARING repeated his former statement, and observed that they would now have a gold standard distinct from all the nations in the world. Mr. WELLE3LEY POLE entered into a short statement of the amelioration that took place in the state of the coiti in 1776, and argued that gold was then considered as the legal standard of the country ; and from that time until the year 1816 it had so remained. After a few words from Mr. BARING and Mr. W. POLE, the House resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. IRISH BANK PAYMENTS. The Order of the Day was then read for the House resolving itself into a Committee on the Irish Restriction Act.—After a few words from Mr. GRENFELL, Mr. Humr, and the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. GRENFELL inquired of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if any negotiation had been en- tered into for the renewal of the Charter of the Bank of Ireland ? The reply of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER was not heard hi the Gallery. Sir H. PARNELL thought, from the manner in which the Right Hon. Gentleman evaded the question, that there was some foundation for the rumour, that a negociation had taken place. He thought that all the miseries which the country had endured since 1774, had arisen from the departure from the principles formerly acted upon. So strongly was he impressed with that idea, that he would willingly afford his assistance to any Member who should move that the Char ter should not be renewed. Mr. BENNET observed, that the answer which had been made to the objection of the Hon. Me mber for Aberdeen, was unsatisfactory. Ile should, however, have another opportunity of adverting to the subject, and he would now content him self with protesting against the negociation which he believed the Right Hon. Gentleman had en tered into with the Bank of Ireland. Mr. PEA RSE said, that the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury was welcome to entertain whatever opinions he pleased, but would any other person believe that the Bank would not do all in its power to prevent forgeries ? The fact was, that the Bank had done, and would do, every thing in its power; though complete success had not yet attended the efforts which had been made, yet he did not despair of seeing a note fabricated, the forgery of which would be impossible. Mr. F. LEWIS did not view with so much alarm the prospect of a negociation with the Bank of Ireland. The Hon. Gentleman pro ceeded to draw a contrast between the Banks of Scotland and Ireland : let the House look at the former; there the number of partners might be increased tO an unlimited extent, and on that circumstance rested its security. Why could not the principle of that system be applied to and contribute to the security of the Bank of Ire land ? But Ireland ought to have a security of another_kind. As soon as the circulations of gold was introduced, no one pound notes ought to be allowed to circulate in Ireland : though paper was economical, yet gold was most secure. He hailed therefore with gladness that line of con duct in the Right Hon. Gentleman, which led him to hope a good result. He believed that the course the Right Hon. Gentleman pursued was the best, the most just, and most high minded course. Mr. GRENFELL observed, that the Hon. Gen tleman (Mr. Lewis) had mistaken the question which he put to • the Right llon. Gentleman. His question had not gone to any modification in the Charter, but to whether any negociation had been entered into for its renewal ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied (as was understood), that no negociation_ of the kind had taken place. The House then resolved itself into a ,Com mittee, and, after some observations from Mr. GRENFELL, Mr. PEARSE, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the different clauses of the Bill were agreed to, and the Report ordered to be brought up to-morrow. Mr. HonuousE inquired whether it was true that a man named England, convicted at the Horsham Assizes of the murder of one Swaine, had received a free pardon. Mr. CLIvE said he could not answer the ques tion of the lion. Member. The other Orders of the Day were then reaa, and the House adjourned at HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK. BOARD OF AGRICULTURE'S CATTLE SHEIV. FIRST DAY.—Yesterday morning, from ten o'clock until half-past one,Mr. ALDRIDGE'S yard, in little St. Martin's-lane, was close shut up, while FRANCIS LAWLEY, Esq., HENRY JAMES NICHOLLS, Esq., and WILLIAM STICKNEY, Esq., the three Judges appointed for awarding the pre miums, were inspecting the ten bulls, eight cows, twenty rams, nineteen ewes, twelve boars, thir teen sows, two stallions, and four steers, which had been previously tied up or penned in the yard, and several certificates regarding their ages, pedigree, feeding, &c. &c.—On the retiring of the Judges to Henderson's Hotel, to consider of and prepare their award, preparatory to the same being reported to a meeting of the Board, which is to be held tliis forenoon in. Sackville street, the gates were opened for the admission of company, who were in great numbers waiting in the street.—ln the course of the day were no ticed in the yard— The Marquis of Tavistock, the Earl of Macclesfield, the Earl of Egremont, the Earl of Galloway. Lord Wm. Ben (jock, Sir IVathin Williams Wynn, the Hon. John Trevor, Colonel Way, Charles C. Western, John C. Cursven, William P. Honywood, Christopher T. Toilers, It. Price, James Pick ford, &c. together with a long list of distinguished practical Breeders of Farming Stock and Agriculturists. The want of labels.a.t the heads of the animals was much regretted by the visitors, and must ac count for our being able now to present but a few particulars, which the exhibiters themselves had put up„ viz.— - C. T. Towers, Esq.—Two barrow pigs, and the carcass of a third, of the sanre litter, la months old, of a cross between the Neapolitan and Essex breed, of a dark lead colour; and yet the skin of the carcass exhibited did not partake of that co lour. Also a 3-year old boar; a nine and a half months sow ; and anOther and a boar, four months old, of the same breed ; all which were greatly admired. Mr. Ellman, junior.--ThreeSoutlidown rams. Mr. Joseph Large.---:-The carcass of a Cotswold and Lei cester welter, weighing 2401 b. Mr. Gibbs exhibited a great variety of grass and other agricultural seeds, and many fine roots of swede turnips, maugel wnrzel, &c. Messrs. Lee and Co. a drill, is scarifier, and turnip-cutter. Mr. Wedlake, two ploughs, and a portable chaff-cutter. Mr. Fisher, his wet and dry weather plough. The Exhibition will continue this day, and after a public dinner at the Freemasons"ravern, this afternoon, the adjudication of the prizes will be announced from the Chair.—Morning Paper. Sir T. LAWRENCE, Sir W. BEECTIY, Mr. SHEE, and Mr. Pnimars, have pictureE• in readiness for the ensuing Exhibition at the Royal Academy, which do honour to their several pencils. The portrait of the Pope, by the President, is said to equal, if not surpass the finest work of VANDYKE, in that department of art. Monday se'nnight the steam boiler in the still-house at Lochrin distillery, near Edinburgh, burst with a tremendouS explosion, by which two of the workmen were killed, and se veral others were more or less injured: A gentleman from the country, while viewing the premises, received considerable in jury. The erection of the apparatus is said to have cost four thousand pounds. At an early hour yesterday morning a soldier discovered a box in the Park, which; on examination, was found to contain the body of a woman, her hair burnt off, and part of one side dreadfully scorched. The body was taken to St. Margaret's workhouse. POLICE.--A few weeks ago we noticed that an additional number of men had teen appointed to the Bow-street Patrole. Yesterday a muster of those men took place in Privy Gardens, at the back of Whitehall Chapel. They were inspected by Mr. HOEHO USE, the Under Secretary. of State for the Home Department. Sir R. BAKER, the Chief Magistrate, Mr. MiNsnuLL, one of the other Magistrates of Bow-street, and Mr. Dar, the principal Officer and Conductor of the Po lice Horse Patrole Establishment, attended by the other Officers belonging thereto. • There appeared to be between 100 and 150 men, all strong and active, under 40 years of age, and were dressed in blue coats and waistcoats (the sort of uniform worn by the Police Horse Pa trole when assembled in a body), armed with a cutlass and truncheon, and some of them with pistols. We i i mderstand that most of them have been cavalry soldiers, who were discharged from the several regiments which have been reduced since the last war. This additional Police force are - denominated the " Dismounted Police Horse Patrole," on account of their being attached to the Horse Patrole Establishment ; and nightly patrole the environs of the metropolis (the duty of the Foot Patrole being now entirely confined to the metropolis).—The Mounted Horse Patrole, who are stationed in the roads beyond the envi rons, patrole to and from ; for several miles round, as heretofore.
