M ENT.

Mr. CAt.cits re moved .1 That a Committee be
appointed to inquire into the propriety of Mine imt
iu u Bill, for grasitintr remuneration to the High
and Petty Constables of Westminster, for their at-
tendance nit Parliament." He hoped the House
would not object at lea►t In the appointment of a
Coit iiii litre. There were fourteen inlet tor consta-
bles, lniur•ipally tradesmen—these weie obliged
either to give up their trades for the time, or to
provide substitutes; it was but reasonable they
should receive compensation for their hiss of time,
or their expense of procuring aubstilutra.
Oil the question bring put
Nlr. BANK F. 3 said, that the lion. Gentleman had
made himself a volunteer in the cause of these
people. Ihe people themselves did tint originate
the measure, they required no particular remu-
neration for attendance ; they conceived attendance
sin Parliament u necessary part of their duty. flow-
ever they hold been selected, they had taken their
understanding their liability to attendance.
'lstieie was no petition the partiea theiss-elves.
Until a ►tronger ca►e was made out, lie slid not see
the necesnly of allowing the appointment of the
C ittre.

Mr. CA I.CRAFT replied, that us lie found a peti-
t' from the tirseuilh interested necessary, lie would
withdraw his motion for the present.
The motion was accordingly withdrawn.

lIANK TOKENS.

Mr. BABINGTON rove to snake some observations
nit the reciil of the Bank tokens. The Chancellor
of the Exelnipier 11;881 ►t: ted, thst the mode of
recd would he similar to that employed for bringing
in the stamped dollars. Cut there were differences
in the two cuars, that made the provi-ion of other
regulations io this isivtatice materially requivite.
The Rank tokens formed as much greater part of the
circulation than dollar. did. Few dollars went back
to the Bank, from the high twice of silver at the time
of their recal ; great quaiiiitiet of them were melted
down—not so Rank token.: they were issued when
silver 0014 high, and, therefore, would not he melted
down bow when it is llMer. The measure of ti recal
would press very heavily on many pour people its
the country, all whose money consists of these to-
kens. it Is incumbent on Government to facilitate
the cart iage of the token' to London—many peo-
ple, who hold them, Cllllllot bring them to the
Agents ►houlsd be appointed, in thiterent
placed through the et:wary, to receive them. He
hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would consider
the state of the e try in this respect, and utfurd
regulations to give Ideality fur carrying them up to
town.

The CHANCELLOR or the ExcliEQueß said. lie
could not conceive any inconvenience to the coun-
try in I ging ma the token*. It uus envy to clear
the country or them, by receiving them for rents
sod 'urge paymentr. It slid lie on the Govern-
ment and the to see that the country should
loot Antler ; unal lie had great pleasure ill Ulf( 1111 l ing
the Hon. Gentleman. that arrangements had been
sonde wills the. Pout (Mite, that would afford con-
siderable convenience for carriuge.

Mr. CUMWEN said, that tiaticli of these tokens
remained in the 111111(1% of lahouring men, their sole
means of purcha•iti thz ticcriiaries of life, which
iii some 'duces tokens could not now dn. Ile wish-
ed the Hank n mild consent to place an ugelit in the
pi ipsi town of every comity, for the purpose ol•
receiving them ill. Ife 11.111 &IV vie! Veil a
letter fr a certain part of Scotland, represent-
ing many iticontenieures that the poor there la.
I ttttt rill Wilier from the great circulation of tokens,
and the apprelit e•f their depreciation. Ile
(mord that the Hank would make some arrange-
ment* to lighten them.
Mr. MANNING oloiervetl, that the Batik wag dig-
pmeil to gite every facility far the Ininging in of
the tokens—hut, n. he had nit authority from the
I)irtc►ors, he could mot plt.lge hiiust If to any thing
specific.
