Costal of Exclnquire. He oh d that the subject to whirh
ilk notice referred, was allosid by all persons who had
turned their attention to the andject, I.i be sine of very great
importance. It had been brought under the consideration
of the House before, but impedimenta had then been raised
spins! any permanent provision. These had now been got
over, and the Bill he proposed to introduce bad b.:s it framed
after a cronmunicatinn with the LAW Anthoriii-,.. He only
a-Ittil fur leave, in order that the Bill might he renal a first
nod aerosol time, after which it might stand over till after
the west.. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved tor,
and obtained karre to bring in a Ball for the h-tter securing
the n LLLLL ey and r ffitts of suitors paid into the Court of Ex-
chequer, anal for the appoii.ting an Accountant-General
and two Masters, in transact business in the same manlier
us in the Court of Chancery, and for other purposes.

Ou the questimi being put for the second n
Mr. Cat.ettarr said, he wished to be informed how the
Accenutaid-Georral was to be paid—he bora it was out,
as in the Court of Chancery, by brokerage, which hr conch-
&rill a very toltjettionahte mode of remuneration' the ser.
♦ices of the Officers of soy Court. It' a salary was requisite
fur him let it be assigned him, but let hint nut be paid iu
the manner lie had dean ibed. _ .

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the
Accountant 6 I and the Neste,' %mild be paid partly
I.y a sala►y, and partly by means of new fees. The sala►y
was towns, from the interest of *hat was called the dead.
mosey is the Court of Exchequer, as well in that of Chan.
eery. He then made some obArvations in vindication of
the object of the Bill.
Mr. CALCRATT said, he did not object to the general M.
vulpine's* prorated—all he wished was, that the Accounts
ant-6mml should nut derive the emoluments of lirs situ&
lion in the same nay as the corrtspouding Officer iu the
Court of Chancery—namely, by dividing the brukerage with
the broker of the Court. _ .

Sir GRAHAM expressed his perfi et tili4rarlinit with the
(ikes of t►e 11111.—It was then ordered to be nod a second

SAVING BANKS, &c.

Mr. 11.1TILBStattall raid, that see:iisg a light Nan. Grn.
Homan, the Chancel:lir of the Exchequer, iu his place, he
was desirous to put a question to him, which, however ab-
rued and extrseagant it might appear to the Mouse, was one
whose .newer was of very high importance to the parties for
a hose information and vAtiticariiun he propoutolsd it: he
meant the lalsosii lug and snauufacturiug t tassss of .Mancbes•
ter. A report bad been of late propagated, and obtaiued
considerable eireulation among these classes, that it was obit
intention of Govcstiturnt to seize on the funds and effect*
of friendly societies and savii.g bulks, for the purpose
of paying the mational eltbt.—(Laaiyhisr.)—There people
not being very risoversant in such a ff.sies, the s isinssue, how.
ever ridiculous it might appear, had ecqiCreel extensive
<watt, and the csmsequence was, that multitudes of intlivb
deals withdrew Cur- stock, and that in various insiuters,
These iustitutions, productive of so much bs outfit to the
tower orders, bad their entire effects brukt n op nod dividads
Ile was &sate fium what soneeirthe delusion lad spruce,
and could have denied it himself, but be wed.d lo have a
formal denial of it by that Member of the Administration,
Who, front kis sitostion, was best coralified In afford infer.
'nation tis the subject—be should therefore be obliged ios
the Chancellor of the Eitehertur In bather his Ma.
jeaty's Ministers had any intention its piy the stational
dtbt out of the feuds of fsicudly wen tits uud saving
banks.

The CHAWCIMILOR of the rxenegurit said, that such
was the manifest folly and absterelity of the report alluded
to, that he was totally unpteried to hear such a question
put in the Mouse, Is anso ce, i.e saou._ only dcrlarr, That
the whole story was wit. ely groundless and false, mid desti-
tute of any sort of foundation or au thor.ty.
Mr. BROUGHAM observed. that however toolish the EWEN►
had been. the Right nun. Gentleman was not to suppose
that his declaration would eirert the total 1.111111110• I of it.
This was out the only time when soda illllll/1119 113 d beets
circulated, for the Committee rf Education lead been
stbjeeted to similar charges last year restive *mg their oh.
jecla. It bad been imputed to Mini that they aimed at
causing a total change in the application of the foods, and
to turn the Usiveraities into dimity reboots, mid eutsiiii..
,lauding all that bid appeared to overturn such surmises,
them extraordinary rumours had been revised of Isle.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excitespultlt said, that he hoped,
notwithstanding, that what be bad acid wooed completely
diseountenatice the reports its question. The funds of these
institutious bul a:ways been particularly secure; no person
had cser experienced the least difficulty in recovering leis
mom y from them.
Mr. CAT.CU %ET said, it might add further confirmation
and consolation to these Gentleincu in Manchester, to be
told, that, as far as he could discover, nothing at all, from
hatever souse,, was to be applied this year towards the
xtuuctiou of the national debt.—(d laugh.)
'11:e Cilascet.cott of tt.t Excureusn said, he was sure
it would gist. pleasure to the .111. Gentleman to learn, that
so far as Ise yet saw, he be heard these would be nu very ma.
feria! deviation from the plaits he had stated Its the last Sea-
"dun of Parliaou at. _ .

Mr. CALcuArr was extremely OA to find that the Right
Hon. GCU111.131311 was likely to realise the whole of the ex-
pected revenue.
Sir W. DR CRISPIGNY said, that an Mon. Member had,
on a former evening, compared the country to a large firsu
he (Sir W. dr Crespieny) lamented that many of the part-
ners were pox witlidianing their funds from the concern.
To preirree the Fusin rity of the country be was willing to
make theritiers himself.

ORAINGEISM (LIVERPOOL)
Mr. CANNING said, he Rise merely to remind an Ikon.
Gentleman opposite (Mr. Pennell) ed tbc strictures which
he had pi otiounced ou a former evening on a clergyman at
Liverpool, about lie Lad accused of preaching a setmuu fur
an Orange. Society, calculate-el to inflame religious animosi-
ties rather than to promote ony other end. Since that time,
lie (Mr. Canning) had received a letter from the Gentleman
in 'oration, denying all the circumstances respecting the
dressing up the figures of a Pope and a Cardinal, and the
sulscquent tilling of and consignment of their tubes to the
flumes within the church; and assuring him that hr had
eunsrutiJ to preach the set ~,,, n as a matter of ordinary et-
s defy, aud as he would bare dune on application fur any
other club to society. Ile (Mr. Canning) thought that the
teat used on the occasion would sheer that it was not the
loicolion of the preacher to hillsnie the passions or preju-
dices of his auditors fly this shall all turn know that

Mr. CANNtIIG then read an e7ol3et from the letter. Ile
