FUNDING OF EXCHEQUER BILLS.
Mr. HAMLETT then promeded to cell the attention of the
house to the late funding of Exchequer Bile, and mord
that in futon, no finding of Exchequer Bills held by the
commiesiontre of e twinge banks be made without the special
I authority of an act of parliament. He was not afteid of any
abuse of this power by Ctancellors of the Exchequer, but it
was a most unwire provision to allow, almost tIlluOT any pos-
sible circumstance., • permanent incense of the intend
debt. Our funded debt bad been increased by 16 millions,
with a charge of 600,0001. a year, which could not be got rid
of till that funded debt wan paid of Now this was sever
contemplated by the Series. Banks Act. The Conireeioners
et Savings Beaks ought to be placed fa Ilse p sition simply of
beekere, to inter the mosey placed hi their hand, in the
way most suited to the interests of the savings banks.
Er S. NORTHCOTE said the hon. wencher fell Into some
confusion when he stated that the converting of tree Ex-
chequer Bills into feuded debt had increased the antral debt.
The savings tanks were institutions into which individuals
limed their mosey at a certain rate of intern. The mana-
gers took the money and held • portion of it to meet current
demands, and untested the remainder withthe Commissioners
of Savings Banks, from whom they received a Imitst amount
of Interest thou they paid to the depositors, which went to
pay the expellees of management. That was one
stage. The next stage was. that the Cornotieioners of
Savings Banks did sot is their turn for the savings banks
preci,ely what the managers of the wrings basks
did for the digestion. They bald • meter barer in
hand to wet canal demand, by the managers of

the remainder. Hat hem the law stepped in and prevented
them from =Meg the best re that they might by com-

public fury. Now, the public funds paid a rote of in-
terest rather lower than the savings banks, end therefore
in ordinary times the transaction mutt be attended
with tes rather than sith profit. But the eecurity of
the money In the hands of the commissioners was, in poiot
of
fait, guaranteed by the public, and therefore any difference
that there was in the pesos of the funds wool 1 be made up
by the public. Then it ft Interned that de meads were mane
urn the commissiosers in excess of the n.oney they had
in hand, they must sell rock in order to meet those demands.
Now, these demands venally came when the pries of
sera was low and the money came in • hen the picawee
high, so that they were [VW'S oily, In or limey owe sub-

the reason that the government carried on a transection of
this kind t They carried It on, because at political porde
the encourager nt of Brings banks was desirable„ and they
were willing thst some SSCTIBOI should be made to do ft. But
then, that being the cue, Ins it not remonatle that the
government should have their hands untied so as to make
some we of the money, if it was poseible for them ti use
it for the advantage of the cottony ? Surely it was bat re-
sorbie that they should make use of the funds in this way.
It was said that holding Exchequer Bills for • thee, sad
then funding them, was threasine the Public debt. 7 hit w°l
an estmordizery proposition. The funded diet amounted
to • certain sum. If the commissioners geld red minims
of the debt to buy Exchequer Bills, they then dimielehed
the funded debt by eight million., end Masser the untended
debt by the same amount. This moths was brought for-
ward on the recremeadatton of the committee that eat last

would tend to mitigate the lose, end that was, to rattle the
