He thought the measure of the Government would be most unjust and injurious to the West India interest. The principle he would always stand upon was the principle of full protection to our colonial empire. He considered the prepo-ition of the Hon. Member for Bristol and that of the Govern ment to be opposed to the principle, and he had, there fore, opposed both. He thought they ought to maintain the principle of prohibition against all foreign sugar. From the year 1831, when they indulged their humanity' at the expense of the West Indian interest, the produc tion of sugar had diminished. It was just beginning to increase, and now they again attempt e d t o cur b it. He had hoped, after the first division on the question, that the Government would have thought it advisable to re enact the present duty for another year, for in this he would have heartily supported the Right Hon. Baronet. Sir It PEEL said that he was unwilling to prolong that discussion because he was anxious to proceed pith other business to which he wished to direct the attention of the House, and nothing would have induced him to say a word excepting the speech of the Noble Lord opposite. He must say that he considered that his Hon. and Gallant Friend was perfectly justified in the vote which he had given upon this question. His Hon. and Gallant Friend was decidedly opposed to the measure of the Government, and he was also opposed to the propo sition of the Hon. Member for Bristol. If the Noble Lord had proposed that the third reading of this Bill should be rejected, he would kave the support of his (Sir R. Peel's) Honourable and Gallant Friend:— (Ileer, hear, from Sir H. Douglas.) He could not see how his Hon. and Gallant Friend could take any other course than that which he did, for he would not have been consistent in doing otherwise. Ho thought that the Government were per fectly justified in the course which they took in attempting to rescind the resolution to which the House bad come. There was no distinction between that course and the course which was pursued on the malt-tax. Lord Althorp pursued the same course with respect to the malt-tax, yet he (Sir R. Peel) never heard, either from the Noble Lord opposite, or any other Member, that that course was degrading to the House of Commons. The real object ought always to be the public interest. He still entertained the opinion that the proposal of the Government was more advantageous to the country than the proposition of tha Hon. Member for Bristol, and he could not help thinking that it was becoming in the Government to submit the matter for the reconsideration of the House. He thought there was great objection to a prospective reduction of duty, definite in amount, and to take effect on a cer tain day. He thought that such a prospective reduction, definite in amount and time, had a groat ten dency to damage the country in the interval. It would affect the consumer, because there would be no reduc tion in price; but an increase, and that increase would go into the pockets of persons who had no claim to their sympathy, namely, the pockets of the grocers and the retail dealers, who happened to have a sufficient quantity of sugar on hand to enable them to dole out an imperfect supply. There would be a loss to the revenue without any corresponding benefit to the consumer, or advantage to the producer. He still entertained the opinion that there was nothing inconsistent with the duty of the House of Commons in their entering into a reconsidera tion of this question. The Noble Lord fairly admitted that it would hare been hardly consistent with the credit of the Government if they had proposed a con tinuance of the old sugar duties. His Honourable and Gallant Friend (Sir H. Douglas) thought this was the wisest course to pursue, and no doubt those of the West India interest who voted with the Noble Lord thought so too. The Government thought it desirable, owing to the increased de mand, and the tendency to increased prices, to admit competition with foreign free-grown sugar. They ad hered to their opinion, and he must say diet he never could understand the ground on which the Noble Lord opposite had opposed the proposition of the Government. He could not doubt that the Noble Lord had done so from public motives, but he could not help thinking still that it was the duty of the Government to resist the combination which was formed against them, and to at tempt to procure the deliberate sense of Parliament ninon the resolution which they believed to be for the public interest. lie rejoiced in the course which they had taken, and he thought no discredit whatever had been thrown on the House of Commons by their having re considered the decision to which they had come on a former night. The Hon. Member for Durham asked him why he did not go further with respect to the abolition of protection. If the Hon. Member had listened to the debates which took place in that House, he must have discovered the difficulty which existed to prevent him from doing so. There were the difficulties arising from the strenuous opposition of the advocates for protection, and when they came to deal with details, the most formi dable difficulty was to be found in those who were the loudest in their declarations in favour of free trade. One Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Mangles) who was a purist with regard to free trade, had attempted to show the House of Commons that it was unjust to diminish the protection on Eest India sugar, and that it was unjust to allow Manilla and China sugar to come into competition with East India Sugar. How could the Hon. Gentleman advocate the admission of slave labour produce? How could the Hon. Gentleman make this consistent with his former doctrine? The Hon. Gentle man said he was the decided advocate of free trade and the admission of slave-grown sugar, and yet, when there was a particular measure reducing protection, he de nounced the authors of it as bring unjust to his friends. So with respect to the article of cheese. It was pru dent to reduce the duty on cheese. If he were called upon to name the man who was the decided advocate of free trade, he would say it was the Hon. Member for Chester. And yet, when there was a proposition to reduce the duty on cheese, that Honourable Member said it would be unjust to do so. And so it always was and always would be in these case=. And when the Ho ). Member for Durham asked him (Sir R. Peel) why he did not remove protection, he could only say that the removal of protection was incumbered with great difficulties, and among the greatest difficulties was the opposition of those who pretended to be the advocate of free trade principles. Mr. MAN G LES explained. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. BANK CHARTER BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, that the House resolve itself into a Com mittee on this Bill, Mr. WODEHOUSE wished to put a question to th e Right Hon. Baronet a t th e h ea d o f the Government, of which he had given notice yesterday. He felt it his duty to do so. The question ho wished to put was, whether it was the intention of the Government to ex tend the provisions of the present measure to Ireland and Scotland? Sir ROBERT PEEL had no hesitation in saying, that when the measure now under the consideration of Parliament had become law, the Government intended to put itself in friendly communication with bankers in those countries, with a view to extend the provisions of this measure in respect to the regulation of the currency to Scotland and Ireland. He rather thought, however, that such a measurecould not be brought forward during the present session. Mr. WODEHOUSE thanked the Right Hon. Baronet for his answer, which was perfectly satisfactory. He would then give notice of his intention to move for the restoration to the banks of the power of convertibility re• specting silver, which they possessed prior to the Act of 1816, to the extent it then existed, but no further. In answer to a question from Mr. F. T. BARING, Sir R. PEEL was understood to gay that it was not the intention of the Government to being in a Bill re garding the Bank of Ireland during the present session. If however they should change their opinion on this subject due notice of such intention would be given to the House. After a few words from Colonel SIBTISORP and from Mr. PHILIP HOWARD, who presented a petition from a Carlisle Banking Company, cop plaining of the dimi nished powers of the country banks, which the Bill before the House would enact, and praying for larger privileges, and by Lord WORSLET from another bank ing company to the same effect. Mr. RAIKES CURRIE, after some prefatory ob servations said, that a memorial had been drawn up and signed by the majority of the directors of the bank of which he was a member, respecting certain provisions in the Government measure, but that memorial had not been presented to the Right Hon. Baronet in deference to his (Mr. R. Currie's) rogue:4 as he did not wish to embarass the Government until the measure was fully before the House. Many influential bankers, amongst whom were Messrs. Loyd and Grote, and other gentle men extensively connected with commerce and banking, were adverse to many provisions of the measure, and for whom he might say. " Malim cum Catone errare quam, Cum istis hominibus 'dem sentino." He wished to see a perfect convertibility of the paper currency ; but the Hon. Member for Lambeth assumed that this measure was brought forward for the purpose of preventing those great oscillations of price which had hitherto occurred. Now, as he (Mr. Bailees Currie) ap prehended it was not directly mear.t for any such pur pose—that was hoped to be an incidental effect of its provisions. It was hoped that this Bill would prevent that intensifying and that spasmodic action which for merly used to occur in the endeavour to bring back the gold to the bank. The advocates of a metallic standard said that in the abstract the best state of thing,' was a metallic currency, and they would allow departure from this to a system of paper money, for two reasons, and for two reasons only. First, for sake of economy ; and, secondly, for the sake of convenience. They hai now got to something which would test men's opinions. Did the Hon. Gentleman opposite expect any other advantages from a convertible paper currency than those of economy and convenience ? There were those who expected relief from taxation and discount in addition to those advantages, but the moment they aimed at those, he believed they endangered the convertibility which they all agreed was the object of the present mea sure. He regretted to hear what had fallen from the Hon. Member fur Nottingham, with regard to Mr. Jon, a Loyd, who, ho said, was a free-trader in everything except what he dealt in himself. The London bankers could have no interest in the present measure. To those who agreed in what he had stated, the measure of the Right Hon. Gentleman must appear a strict logical sequence. What ho blamed the memorialists for, was that they admitted his premises, and denied his con clusions. The whole principle which the Bill professed was that of non- interference—that no body of men and no Government should be able to interfere with the currency. Whatever private London banker gave his opinion in favour of the measure, it took away from them the only remaining monopolies they had, while th e conntry bankers were dalt very leniently with. It was urged that, when the balance of trade was against them, gold would leave the country and a great tightness in the circulations would be the result. But that was neces sary, to prevent them from falling into extreme danger. Ile had supported this measure in all its stages, and ho thought the Right Hon. Gentleman might look back with satisfaction to the changes he had brought about in the currency system. He first brought back the standard in I 1819, and, since that time, he supported the principle of that measure against all opponents. He gave it his cordial support, because it recognised a true principle which was adapted to the present circumstances of the country, with great practical segacity.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GISBORNE explained. The expression which he had used with regard to Mr. Jones Loyd was, that he was a free trader in everything except that which he dealt in himself; and to that extent be consi ;erect him self perfectly right, for Mr. J. Loyd was an advocate for free trade except in credit, which was what he dealt in. Mr. C. WOOD said that Mr. J. Loyd was not in any way concerned in this measure, so far as having any in terest in it. He believed Mr. Loyd was for the aboli tion of restrictions on everything. Mr. NE WDEGATE said it was difficult to apply the rules of normal philosophy, which seemed to have so much weight in the mind of the Hon. Gentlemen who had just spoken to this question. He thought the pre sent measure bore the impress of that difficulty. lie thought the difficulties of the subject arose from the high measure of their standard. The pound contained so much of the precious metal, that it was difficult to supply it. a purely metallic basis ; an d t h e f act o f 14,000,000 / being necessary to carry out the present measure. justified him in the statement. He had acted against his feelings and his friends in the views he adopted upon this question ; but they were his hon es t opinions— (Hear, h e ar)—a n d ho gave expression to them. He might be mistaken in his views, but he thought that there should be a paper superstructure on a metallic basis. He thought that even the present mea sure proved they could not ensure perfect convertibility with so high a standard. Ho was no opponent of the metallic standard, but he thought it was not applicable to the present circumstances of this country. Sir W. JAMES rose, but such was the noise which prevailed in the House while he was speaking, that it was impossible to hear what he said. The House then went into Committee, Mr. GREENE in the Chair. On clause 4 being proposed, Mr. COLLETT asked the Right Hon. Baronet to give a clear definition of what was to be considered bullion. Sir R. PEEL—AII gold of the proper assayel fineness would be received at the Bank as bullion, at 3/. 17s. 9d. per ounce, the difference b e t ween t h at pr i ce an d 31. 17s. 10;d. being just enough to cover the expense of coining. Mr. C. WOOD informed the Hon. Member that gold in whatever shape, except that of the coin of the realm, and even that, if it was under weight, was considered as bullion; foreign coin was also bullion if of the standard value.—The clause was then agreed to. On clause 5 being proposed, which g i ves p ower t o in crease the amount o securities in the issue department upon the authority of her Majesty in Council, upon the application of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, beyond the total sum of 14,000,000/ e and thereupon to issue additional Bank of England notes, provided that such increased amount of securities should in no case exceed the proportion of two-thirds the amount of bank-notes which a banker ceasing to issue might have been authorised to issue, Sir W. CLAY moved, pursuant to notice, the omission of these words:—" Her Majesty in Council, upon the application of the said Governor and Company, to autho rise and empower." Upon this he said he should take the sense of the House, if it appeared that the power to be exercised by the Crown were to have any further operation than to fill up the voids that might occur in the circulation. Sir R. PEEL said it was quite necessary that the pub lic should have full knowledge of any increase of issues or of security, and the Act required that the same should be notified to the Council. To a fresh issue of notes on additional securities the Bill applied the same principles that it did to issues under the present system, viz , it permitted the Bank to supply the void, but it required that there should be an addition to the bullion of the Bank, in the case which he was supposing, to the amount of 3,000,0001. He could not conceive that any inconve nience would arise from the clause—it appeared to him to be a security and a precaution that the principle of the Bill should be carried into effect. Sir W. CLAY said, it appeared to him to be a dan gerous power to place in the executive Government, to allow them to have any conned over the circulation of the country. It was a power which might be much mis applied and made subservient to political purposes. Ile should, therefore, move in clause 5, lines 30 and 31, the omission of the words " her Majesty in Council, upon the application of the said Governor and Company, to authorise and empower," and in lines 38 and 39 of the following words, " the proportion of two-thirds." Sir R. PEEL said, the clause contained no new expe rimental principle —it was merely an additienal check against the possibility of abuse. Mr. W. THOMPSON considered this Bill as a warn ing to country bankers, that at the end of the eleven years during which it was to exist there would be only one bank of issue. The amount of private banks' issues was to be 9,000,000/, of which the Bank of England was to supply two thirds. Towards the end of the eleven years he feared there would be a great void occasioned by the withdrawal of the country circulation, which would be prejudicial to the great interests of the country. He therefore should have preferred that the Bank of England had power to issue to the full amount of circu lation withdrawn by the country bankers. Mr. C. WOOD was inclined to agree with his Hon. Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets, but he did riot think the point of sufficient importance to take the sense of the Committee on it, because the danger con templatel by the amendment was not likely to arise. Mr. TURNER. hoped, if it was intended at the end of ten years to establish one bents of issue, the Right Hon. Baronet would have the manliness to avow it. He denied that the losses by the failure of country banks fell on the lower orders, who seldom had more than a 5/ note in the bank. They more often suffered from light gold. Sir R. PEEL would give no opinion on what Parlia ment might do in ten years. But, clearly, this Bill would give a better guarantee for the security of the circula teen of the country banks than to leave matters as they were. He was not disposed to enter now into the consi deration of the condition of private banks. He had pur posely avoided entering into the details of country banks. Ire did not wish to state the case of the country bank-e or even the circumstances which had occurred since this Bill had been before the House. Sir W. CLAY withdrew his arnendment. Sir J. GUEST thought it was unfair in the Right Hon. Baronet thus to inter a general instability of coun try banks, because one bank had failed for 17,006/. It would be better for the Right Hon. Baronet to speak out at once. made any such inference. lle S t ir ho lt. thought that d joi n t s t oc k b an k s i n general might be conducted with p er f ect secur i ty ; b ut he thought at the same time that i t was r i g h t to take countryenied having banks an d securities against abuses. It was the interest of well conducted estebli,hments that such securities should be taken. Mr. MANGLES said, although the Right Hon. Gen tleman had disclaimed any intention to doubt the stabi lity of private banks in general, yet he must say he had spoken in a very significant and threatening tone. He pointed his finger and spoke in a tone as much as to say, " I could tell a great many things about you which you would not like to hear said." Bs spoke in a most minacious manner.—(A laugh.) Colonel SIBTIIORP said, at all events he had mere confidence in private banks than he had in the Exche quer bills.—(A laugh.) Mr. M. PHILIPS said, that his first act in public life was to express his approval of the conduct of the manu facturers of Manchester in declining to have anything to do with the IL notes of local or private bankers. He thought it had been a most fortunate circumstance for the whole of that district that so resolute a course had been taken on that occasion ; for he felt convinced that by it the peace of the community had been preserved. He hoped his Hon. Friend the Member for Truro would not think, because he advocated this clause, that he was inimical to well-regulated country banks ; for such was not the fact. Mr. MUNTZ asked, if this Bill and its - system was to regulate the circulation of the Bank of England and joint-stock banks, why could it not regulate the currency as well ? What would be the consequence of with drawing 100,0001 of local notes and replacing them by Bank of England notes ? Sir R. PEEL said, that assuming the circulation of the country banks to be 9,000,000/. and that of the Bank of England 21,000,0001, and that the country circulation of 9,000,0001 was suddenly withdrawn, the case would stand thus :—They permitted the Bank of England to issue 14,000,000/. of the 21,000,0001. upon securities, and assumed that an issue upon bullion of one-third, or 7,000,00 e/ would ensure the whole convertibility of the 21,000,000/. Supposing, then, the 9,000,0001 to be voluntarily withdrawn by the country banks and sup plied by the Bank of England, they admitted at once that 7,000,000/. would not be sufficient to support the convertibility of 30,000,0001., and would apply the same principle to the additional 9,000,0001 which they had applied to the 21,000,0001., namely, that 3,000,0001. be issued upon bullion, and 6,000,0001 upon securities. If the estimate of the total circulation of notes throughout the country should be 30,000,000/ e then there must be a stock of 10,000,0001 of bullion in order to support that circulation, upon the same principle that a stock of 7,000,000/ was assumed to be sufficient to support a cir-. emulation to 21,000,000/. Tun Co:evict. DALMAS.—AII hope of a reprieve is In reply to a question from another. Hoer. MemBER, now at an end, the solicitor for Dalmas having presented a Sir R. PEEL said that the country would no doubt in petition to the Secretary of State, for a remission of the ca that case be subjected to the expense o f i nc r e asing the pital punishment, signed on the ground that great prejudice supply of gold by about 3,000,0001., but that it would on i existed against the unfortunate man in the public mind, anal the other hand amply gain by the security which that also that the evidence on which he was convicted was by no increased supply would give to the monetary transactions means of a conclusive character, and that the jury must of the country. have entertained great doubt of his guilt, in consequence of their long deliberations.

Colonel SIBTHORP asked if the Noble Lord could expect a Select Committee to sit at that period of the session with any chance of success ?

" SIR,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday, transmitting to me a com munication on the subject of the Bank Charter Bill, from several of the bankers of London. " They remark that they were led to believe when the measure was first brought forward, and they are confi dent that it was generally understood throughout the country, that there was to be a power reserved to the Government of sanctioning an increase of issues upon securities beyond 14,000,0001. in the event of any par ticular crisis arising, and that they observe with consi derable surprise that the Bill now before the House does not contain any provision for an extension of the issues beyond 14,000,000- upon securities, excepting under the special circumstances mentioned in the sth clause of the " I beg leave to observe that,. with the exception of the substitution of the authority of the Privy Council for that of three members of her Majesty's Government, the clause referred to is in conformity with the statement made by me on the introduction of the Bill, and with the communications addressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank, previously to its introduction. " In moving for leave to bring in a Bill, I referred to the circumstances under which an increase of notes on securities would be justifiable. Those circumstances were the withdrawal of a portion of the circulation issued by banks other than the Bank of England. I added (I quote from the report of th© Times newspaper) the only circumstance I can foresee justifying the in crease of issues beyond the ordinary amount is the ne cessity for ifilling up a void.' I made a similar state ment in answer to a distinct question put to me on this subject on the same evening. "In the letter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank, dated April 26, 1844, and presented to Parliament on May 7, the day after the introduction of the Bill, are the follow ing observations :---‘ The void created by the withdrawal of any existing private or joint-stock bank circulation, either voluntarily or under the circumstances adverted to, should be supplied, if necessary, by the substitution of notes of the Bank of England ; and in such a case the Bank, acting in concert with the Government, as pro vided for in a preceding paragraph, might be authorised to make a proportionate increase in the amount of those securities which constitute the foundation of the issue of paper.' . _ I must, therefore, remark that not only has there been no changein the intentions of her Majesty's Go vernment with regard to the circumstances under which an increased issue of notes would be allowable, but that the public declarations of the Government on the an nouncement of the measure were clearly explanatory of their intentions, and are in conformity with the pro visions of the Bill. " In respect to the policy of the enactment referred to, her Majesty's Government regret to learn that the bankers who are parties to the communication which you have transmitted to me entertain apprehensions as to the practi cal operation of it, but her Majesty's servants do not con sider it to be consistent with their - duty to apply to Parliament for a discretionary authority to be vested in any public department of the Government to sanction an increase :of issue by the Bank upon securities, ex cf.pting under the circumstances provided for in the sth elause of the have the honour to be, &c., "To J.

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE or A GENTLEMAN UNKNOWN. —Considerable sensation was created throughout yesterday, in the neighbourhood of the terminuus of the London and Birmingham Railway, Euston-square, by th e di scovery of the following mysterious and determined act of suicide on the part of a person unknown, who from his attire and general behaviour, is supposed to be of most respectable connexions. Shortly after nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, the de ceased came to the bar of the Globe beer-shop, kept by a Mr. Jones, at the corner of Seymour -street and Drummond street, and inquired if he could be provided with a bed ; being answered in the affirmative, he went into the parlour, and having partaken of some ale, paid for it, together with the price of his bed, and retired to rest about ten o'clock. About half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, as deceased did not make his appearance, Mr. Jones went up and knocked at his bed-room door, and receiving no answer he entered the apartment. He then observed the deceased completely doubled up in bed, and quite dead ; and on the dressing table a tumbler and a phial. Mr. Culhatn, surgeon, of Drum mond-street, was instantly sent for, and gave it as his opinion that the deceased had been dead some hours, and pronounced the phial and tumbler to have contained essential oil of almonds (prussic acid). On searching him, a pair of black kid gloves, figured silk pocket handkerchief, with blue border, three half-pence in money, and a cigar, were found in his pockets. The ma ne h a d been cut by the deceased out of his shirt, and also the maker's name out of the crown of Isis hat. On the shirt collar, however, is marked in in delible ink, the name "Rowe."
