thought that the sitiltiog fund should be remitted

Amsted last year, hes4mold wish to see it augmented
to one per cent, on the capital of the debt. With
respect to the tranmetious of Covet timent with the
•Bank, he thringtit that rather tin incorrect vies
of them was taken by ad Hon. Gentleman (Mr..
Orenfril). if he understood. how the matter
stood, it was considered by she legislature as a
measure of eciminny, that an advance by the Bank

Sir J. YORIIR advised his Right Hun. Friend
who had just sat down, never to write a book on
finance again—(A laugh)--and Isis other Right
Hon. Friend below him (the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer) never to move counter-resolutions iu a
Committee of Ways and Wane. standing on neu-
tral ground. They had both pissed the Rubicon,
and were now seated on the Treasury Bench, where
not a vestige of their former opinions was to be veto.

SMITH and the CHANCIILLOR of the EXCHEQVIR.
the other Resolutions were they, earned, and the
House having resumed, the Report was brought
up, and ordered to be received to-morrow.
COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.
The House hewing resolved itself into a Commit-

Mr. 134000 EN brought up the Report or the
last Committee, containing the votes on account of
the miscellaneous estimates.
The first Resolution was read and agreed to.
The further consideration of the second, propos-
ing a grant of 241,000/. for the expenses of the bar-
rack department, was postponed till Friday next.

When the Resolution was read, proposing a sum
of 60,000/. to defray the expense of buildings at
the Penitentiary, Milbank,

Mr. J. Swill protested against the resolution
altogether, and animadverted in very warm language
on such extravagance, of expenditure in the present
distressed state of the count►y.
Mr. HOLFOaD spoke in favour ni the Resolution.
Mr. LOCKIIAIT obverresl, that each criminal
within the establishment would coat the country
nice hundred pounds. He asked whether, colon-
dering the embarrassed state of our finances, Go..

Mg particular Members to become the (Nitrous of

voted for the instituf of the establishinent ; but

half of what they had since amounted to. He had
tl ght that if a proper sy►tem of labour were
adopted there, the returns would nearly repay the
whole charge attending it.
Sir J. YORK'S said, that his Hon. Friend (Mr.
Milford) had admitted the other slight that the
charges of the establishment had already amounted
to 500,000/.
Mr. Hot.roao replied, that his assertion was
that they were not within fifty of 500,000!.
Mr. PHILLIPS apprehended that the excessive
expense of the l'enisentiary in question would ope-
rate against the institution of similar establishments
on a snore economical plan in other parts of the
country.

Mr. l'itartELL said a few words, not audible in
the gallery.
Mr. Alderman 1-16TGATE lived that the House
would iu future pause before ru.hing inconsider.
