Mr. PEWS said, that when Mr. Prrcepsl was
Chancellor of the Eacherpier, all the boning' of
the present question had been carefully and anxi-
ously gone into, and such arrangements adopted as
appeared to be due to both parties—the.Basik and
the public. It was true that at that time the ba-
lancer; amounted to ten amnions and • half; but
,as it was supposed that the holding of these was
attended with great advantages, the Book,' by way
of remuneration, advanced money for the Public
service. without interest. The ..haliatices had been

this was an awkward circumstance to touch upon,
for in fact the Batik had paid the corintry'forty-

if through that space it had been put on the same
footing in this respect with private establishment,.
Mr. Neese. explainel
Mr. T. Wit...,on argued that the advantages
derived to the Batik from the public were not at all
silvantageous to the. extent assumed. If the ac-
counts of any private firm were to be looked iiito,'it
would appear that their profits were greater than.
those of the Back. Those of the-Royal Exchange:
Office were much greeter. From every thin wliich

taken by the 1t0,,. Gentleman opposite (Hr, Pears!),
to the Bank fur lending money to the public at

for which it was his intent' to move—dist sixty-
one returns had in consequence been made from

an humble address to his Majesty, praying that he

might not distract the attention of the Minister,
from the point of paramount interest to Which they
are now devoted. This eireennstance will not, we
hope. be attended with public inconvenience; yet
it is to he apprehended that if this system of post.

sluiced period of the Session, sufficient time will
not be found to treat the various important branches
of the public business with proper attention.

We have learned with orprise that Mr. ELLIS,
a Master in Chancery, means to contest the repre-
sentation of the city of Dublin with Mr. GRATTAN,
the son of the most valuable citizen that Dublin
ever did, or probably ever will boast ; but our
surprise will be indeed greatly increased if this
unexpected Candidate should enter the lists with a
chance of success. Let the electors of Dublin look
to the electors of Middlesex, and follow their
example, who elected th. sou to testify their re-
spect for the virtues of the Giber. The citizens of
Dublin propose to evince their gratitude to Mr.
GRATTAN by erecting a monument to his memory.
With what consistency then can they insult his
memory by rejecting his sou?

The public are aware that the King's-mews,
Charing-cross, have 'been recently fitted up at
considerable experts, as military barracks. They
will now learn with surprise that the Commissioners
for the new street have served the inmates with
notice to quit, preparatory to the opening to the
front of St. Martin's church. It happens that the
line of the intended new street passes directly
through the middle of the barracks, a circts•staace

that must have been known when the place was con-
verted to its present military use. Why, with a
notice to quit staring them in the face, the
projectors thought tit to pitch their cramp on this
precarious spot, remains to be explained. It may
be ministerial economy, but it certainly is not that
sort of economy a wise man would practise in his
private affairs.

The large sums expended abroad by Nir et bi.
grant nobility and gentry must necessarily im-
poverish trade and at a infacture at home; but it
has been urged that the evil is to a certain extent
counteracted by the influx of foreigners, and their
expenditure in this country. As evidence of the
solidity of this answer, the visits of the Grand
Duke MICHAEL, of the Prince of Huss HOU*
BOURG, and other foreigners, and their liberality
on their respective tours through England, bare
been Owed but this answer is fallacious. It
will be seen in the Parliamentary Paper which
we published yesterday, that it is our own money
they spend here; that the travelling expenses of
these and other illustrious foreigners in England
are defrayed out of our own pocket..
