GOLD COIN BILL.
On the CHANCELLOR of the Exc ISEQUEIt moving the Order of the
DAV for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. CR EEVEY moved that the second reading should be postponed
till the 3d of February.
Mr. BR AND and Lord A HAMILTON spoke against the Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER clirectAl the attention of the
!louse to the necesssity of the measure now before them. The idea
°fa depreciation of the currency was, he remarked, of an earlier
date than the Bullion Committee, since Lord King had introduced the
subject in • the House of Lords, so far back as the year 1801. In the
tear 1811, that noble person had resorted to a rep, which rendered
legidative interference indispensible for the protection of the tenantry
ache country. They had the evidence of Mr. Monck on thej same
site of the question, who said he would not accept of paper at the
same rate of value as gold. Mr. Monck was coiner of local tokens,
and for his purposes, gold or silver vas much inure useful than paper.
He found a sufficient cause for the rise of gold in the vast augmenta-
tion of our foreign expenditure : and still more in the total interrup-
tion of the supplies of the precious metals from South America, which
M itself was sufficient to account for the advance upon those metals
In the market. The Act had arisen out of the provocation of one in.
dividual, but for whom they might have been quiet yet, and the
necessity for the law never have been raised. It was now absolutely
tn(lisnensible to protect the subject from grievous oppression ; and he
suS:iiitted that there were stronger reasons for its continuance than
even for its being originally passed-,
Mr. PONSONSY concurred heartily in the amendment that had
b?cn moved
Mr. MA usrtsic noticed that the supply of change had been dis-
c,.;itinued for several weeks by the B:t..k, hut within the last fifteen
manths nearly two Millions had been actually issued. About a week
ago the Directors had Riven orders for further issues, and were, as they
ever had been most desirous to accommodate the public, in so far as was
fr.nn the quantity'of silver in the market. He then adverted to
