Mr. Gilmer tett. would sontent himself with adverting to

those occasions of appropriating the cutrent produce of the
Sinking. Fund to the purchase of part of the Loans. Ile had
pti.tireu such course repeatrdly, particularly when that no: thous
loan of 56.0en.0re1. in it was about to be raised ; but he Mal
faded in inlet. casing the Chancellor of the Exchequer with the
conviction of tie propri of the course he had auggested, and
bad now only the ton lotion of reflecting that, had he been
listened to. there wool iave been a saving to the Country of

another loan, said to be the amount of Party millions-0 fear,
bear!) it might not be without advantage to have said thus
much on the mode of raising loans. He, however, had beard
strarge rumours in the City—but be would not believe thew;
they wire calumnies on the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It
was said that the Hight Memorable GLinlensan had communi-
cated his intentiens regurtiing the loan to a few 'individual% thus
ac ing moil puitially, most improperly most unwarrantably ;
tall he heard the rumour confirmed, he would t.elieve it to be
nothing but a caluniee.—( lieu ! hear!)
The Cuaeci:LLon of the EXCHEQUER denied having
made any partial coninninicatione ; he hat only consvilted those
whom he had been accustomed to consult, mewling finance
mutters.
M:. RIC snob said, the linnet course of poceeding in be-
speaking a faxen, was to mention the intention to all those in the
habit of bidding for Loens, by which means there was no undue
advantage given to particular individuals. Ile, too. bad !leant

The CHANCELLOR of tie EXCHEQUER immediately rose
amidst cries of heel l—the communicadon i lie had made, if mei-
munieations they could be called, were in the nature of enquiries
He had asked whether it would be better to make the Loan el
great as to cover what Was wanted to supply the probable wan:,

JUNE 7.

Lord MI T.TON fudged why certain returns of British Offir'ers
the service of foreign I.:ates had not been laid upon the table.
Lord Li H t A.al reolied, that he had an:pe.ted such re.
tunis a day or too ago, and did nut km .v ally they ::ad not been
i re:anted.
1 xso iscrrer 81LL.1.0[1.1 AI.IIIOR, moved the
:eeond reading of the lcsolvent Debtor's Bill.
\ IVAI3 11J1 AN said he would stste :dovtly some of the facts

icl.ollol. many Of then hadllol beau ,able to twar up against

chars, aa.l the amount of their debts. independently Of the
I,r.:icr ctn.,. sail 5,04.10001. The c0m....1,..tc.c hod, indeed,
emended, that the act bad this edema. •;e over the Bankrupt
than it made the p:operty acquired role.equently Ly lice in_
fer hie debts, and this had been culled the polar

salary of the Centrilisnor.er, who rat only Is days in the year.
was 2,0 001. and to this Le added tees which hail never been re.
ceived by Mr. Sergeant l'eloter, hi: predee.ssor. Those fees
were eetabathed soon atter the appointment of the present Com-
missioner. and the amount of smat he had lumselt re:rived. for
Cat. years tau 7 and lain. the only poi iod fur which my aceount
hail been :kneeled, was upward.. of' 144)v% Tate r utef c.crk, who
had a salary of 400 i. had received more than td. and the re.
ecivcr of the coon, his own silo. more than 10001. The whole
of the money calltcted by the hater was 1.5a...`91. its. 4d.. upon
which he emoyed a Ise: eel:v.l4e. having at Cie same time a ba-
lance in his hands of 5,7531. me interest en which he also re: aired.
The result of all the accounts was to snow, that the few, and ba•
lances is hand. were equal to the whole sum paid into the re-
ceiver. It was a cruel thing that feca should be extorted front
distressed persons goidg oat into the world, after having sue..
rendered t.seir ad. Toe unfortunate debtor was often compelled,
to surrender Its last shilling. Having stated thus mach, he
should only al.l, that if these things were not facts, they must
bring him into disrepute with the House ; and if they were facts
they must eon:since toe limit: and the public that a :system of op-
' pc:yeah:lu and enaction had been preying on the industry of the
country. He agreed
.with the principle of this measure. and
hoped that such a Bill would be produced as would give satisfac.
tau to the debtor and security to toe eresliair.
Mr. Joust ti MIT II supported the Bill. lie believed that if the
present measure were earned into 41eet. it would be productive of
the greatest benefit.
Aater a few observations from Lord Althorp, the Bill was read
a socond time. and committed pro Prnsa.
The House having mauled. the report was received, and or-
dered to be taken iuto further consideration on Tuesday neat.—
Bill ordered to be primed.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and tl:e
