WEDNESDAyarALT is. ism

The CnAticatt.oa of the Excnenuan told the
House of Commons last night, is answer to a
question by Mr. CAMEL!, that he •ill not
suffer the public to be made acquainted with the
teems of the negotiation now pending between the
Government and the Bank of England until the
affair concerning the payment of the lislf-pay and
Pension List shall be completed. This, we believe,
iv the translation of the obscure language in which
the Right Hon. Gentleman thought proper to
convey his ioteutions. Parliament, therefore, is to
know nothing about the terms on which the Bank
charter is to be continued for ten years beyond its
present limits, until another difficult and intricate
matter has been settled, and no time left for pro-
perly discussing*. serious • topic. The CHAN.
CELLOE of the EIcNSQUEta suppo•es that if the
arrdligeirletit with the Bank of England were ge-
nerally known, it would produce WU injoriour in-
fluence upon the negociations wish the South Sea
Company. Is the arrangement then with the
Book so very disadvantageous to the public, that
a knowledge of it is likely to uffect injuriously
a distinct pecuniary transaction with another
Company ? The words of the CHANCELLOR of
the EICHEQUER raise this inference, and will not,
we presume, he lust upon the South Sea Stock
Proprietors. These gentlemen will naturally pre-
sume some very improvident bargain, and will con.
duct their negociation with the Lords of the Trea-
sury upon the saute footing as if their worst suppo-
hod been actually supported by published
facts.

Mr. Huta last night made his promised motion
upon the affairs of the lonian Islands, and repeated
forrn•r complaints of the expenditure of the G..
terliitur, wild the abuses practised there under the
syrlrM. He moved a aeries of resolutions,
declaring the circuu►t•tunces under which the islands

were Consigned to the protection or areal &Nilo.
and reciting some of the particular abuse* which it
was his object to correct. To ilstrarwier tickled *mo-
tion for wa address to the Crown, praying for au in-
qpiry into the state of the Goretureent insist islandr.
The correctnesOrif Mt. Htlitre statement *au point-
edly denied by the Minister% mid on a division the
tuotiou was negatived by 134 against

The *South Sea Company will this day make
their offer le the Government upon the subject
or the Pension andlf-psy List. This offer,

if we rimy judge from what Mr. BOSANQUET
said at the meeting of. the Proprietors on Monday.
will not differ its any serious amount from the
views previously entertained by Ministers, and
will therefor* moot probably be soeb as they,
in their regard for the public interest, will be
disposed to accept. It is not a Inge remarkable
that in a money scheme of so much importance as
the present. the South Sea Company should have
the minket wholly to themselves. There is no
competition. We do not find, as in the case of or-
dinary loans, several bits in circulation under the
respective suepices of the great roosts of the City,
thot.ll.lllloll, and the ROTRICHtLDS, but a single
who as such have seldom or never since
thettarseiog of the old bubble in 1710, appeared
befoWe the public in pecuniary traaaactione, are

new with mine difficulty and management worked
up to propose for this contract, while the rest of the
puhlia remain at an awful distance. To what is this
to be undimmed ? The novelty of the scheme cannot
bee sufficient cause for the uueillingoess of the great
capitalists to engage in it ; for the means of calcu-
lating its advantages are as accesaible to them aa to
the proprietors of South Sea stock. We fear that
the project is not popular is the City ; the sub-
►eriptious do not come in as rapidly nu the pro.
motet's of the scheme had anticipated ; they did not
much exceed a million yesterday. This must ap-
pear a very smelt sum in comparison with the ease
and rapidity with which a loan for five times the
amount of the first year's adeance might be raised
by the Government in London, at even less than the
present low rate of interest.

There is, however, one obvious cause which is
calculated to prevent individuals from embarking
with much twilit into the present speculation, and
which is also sufficient to deter the Government
Irons contracting with individuals. The great length
of time which is contemplated fur the operation of
this project is such, a ►ery few persona, even in early
life. can hope to survive, and there are not many,
especially amuog the capitalists, capable of ad.
venting money, who can look &mud even to
the period at which, by the consumption of so
many aanuitante lion, they may begin to receive
some return for their expended capital. Those
who may embark in the scheme most do so chiefly,
if net altogether, with a view to the advantage of
their children or successors. Bot upon the part
of the Government it must be admitted that some
difficulty would be found in contracting foe so long
a period with private individuals in trade, whose
property for the most part is merely personal. To
give any thing like permanence and consistency to
the engagement, it would be almost necessary to
incorporate the contractors. The Ministers, how-
ever, have expressed their willingness to receive
proposals from private persons. but none have yet
appeared in the field. A considerable number of
Gentlemen attended yesterday at the Treasury
Clonnbers, bat it appears to have been upon their
part a visit of mere curiosity, for on its being
asked " Whether any Gentleman was prepared to
make an offer ►" the answer was iu the negative.
