mons by LordLts SPENCER, and read a first
time.

PRIVATE CCIMMITT FES.—T!Ie Lords Committees meet
exactly at Twelve o'Clock To-morrow, for the purpose of
investigating, among other important local.mt,, the Croydon
Road Wayr, an 4 the_Surrey Canal tills, '

11OCIAT OF COMANNS,

THURSDAY, AP,RII, 3Q.
THE HOuse went to the House of Lords, where
Lords, authorised by virtue of His ajesty's
Commission, gave the Royal Assent to several pri-
vate and public Bills : among others, the Irish Tax
Bills, the British Lottery Bill, the Seditious Meet..
ing Prevention Bill, &c.
Sir W. GEARY brought up. the Report; of the
ComMittee on the Petition for the ereaion of a new
Gaol for the Western Division of the County of
Kent ; which was read, and ordered to be taken
into further consideration on Teesday next.
Sir EDWARD KNATCH euu gave notice that on
that day he would take the sense of the House on
this subjeft.
. .
The Bill for exempting Curates who are not
liable to the Income Tax, and who keep only one
horse for the purpose of riding, from the Duties on
horses imposed by an Aft of ti .e 38th of the King,
was read a first time, and ordered to be read a
second Time on Monday next,
Mr. GEORGE PONSONI)Y moved for an Account
of the Pensions grahted on the Civil.list of Ireland,
specifying tl:e dates at, and the times for, which
they were granted, up to the -z; tit of March ISo r ;
also for an Account of the Civil and Military Esta-
blishment of Ireland, up to the 25th of November
800, together with an Account of the Extraor-
dinary Expenses of the same, up to the same period ;
also, for an Account of all Grants or Salaries given
as compensations tO.certain persons and Officers for
losses incurred in consequence- of the Union, toge-
ther with the dates of these Grants, and the terms
for which they are granted ; and also for an
.Account
of the Allowances granted to certain persons as a
compensation for losses which they have incurred
in consequence of the disfranchisement of certain
Irish boroughs, by an Mt of the 39th of the King.
Mr. CARRY suggested that the two first of
these Motions are unnecessary, because the Accounts,
the produEtion of which it is their objeft to procure,
have been already ordered, and are daily expected
from Ireland.
Mr. G. PONSONBY thought that as the former
orders were made merely for purposes of Finance,
the Returns will probably be very general, and
only state the gross amounts, whereas his object
was to learn particulars.
After a short conversation between Mr.
NEYI the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr.
PONSONBY, and Mr. Cattily, the Motions were
severally Alit and agreed to.
Mr. Nsvacl,.r moved for. Leave to bring In a
Pill fOr better enforcing the. Payment of Fines and
Fafeitures infliEtcd at the Quarter Sessions. Leave
granted.
The Report of the Committee of WaYs and Means
was brought up, read, and agreed to.
The CitAstcELLoit of. the EXCHEQUER gave
Notice, that he will to-morrow move for leave to
bring in a Bid to ex;empt from the Payment of cer-
tain Taxes and Duties, certain Persons occasionally
residing in Great Britain, in consequence of the
Union.
Mr.ALLARDYCF. moved, cc That an Accoupt of
the Sums advanced by the Bank. of England, and
out-standing on the' Ist of January, 180 t, be laid
before the HoUse."—Ordered.
Mr. PARKER COKE recalled to the recollec-
tion of the House, that last year he had brought
forward a Bill to regulate Disputes between Masters
and Servants, and that he had then withdrawn that
Bill, giving, at the same time, an intimation that
he should this Session again bring the subjc& before
the flotlse. He pow rose only to move, " That a
Conimittee be pointed to inquire into the exist-
ing• Laws respefting Disputes between Masters and
Servants, and to consider if any, and what new Re.
gulations may be necessary on this subject."
he Motion was agreed to, and a Committee ap-
pointed. .
The SPEAKER gave notice,, that for the further-
ance of the great quantity of private Business before
the House, he wotild attend to-morrow, and on
future days, precisely. at :three- o'clock, when he
hoped tiw a sufficient number of I,,i,leinbers will at-
tend to enable hiM to take the Chair,
The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved 4 cc That the
douse do resolve itself' into a Committee of the
\vhole House, on the Bill for more effeetua.lly pre-
venting the Forgery of 'Notes of the Bank of
Eng-
land."

The LORD AprOCATE had i►;tended to have
oip,)seti going into this Committee, but some
explanations having ben mad to hitil by the

Supporters of the Bill, which sheaved that they have
no intention to insert any thing in it, which can
trench oti-the 'right of Private Companies, or In_
. dividuals, he should not oppose the commitment of
the Bill, but content - himself with moving such
Clauses as might appear to him necessary for the se-
curity of these private Rights.
Mr. ROBSON opposed the Bill altogether, as
enabling the Bank of England to monopolize all
the Paper circulation of the kingdom, and to throw
discredit upon the Paper issued by Country Banks.
Mr. ,ILL ARDYCE considered it as a hardship
that other Banks should not have the same advantage
of proteding themselves from Forgery with the
Bank of England,
Mr, fr, 31111T11 supported the Bill. He consi-
dered it as a security to the Public, He thought
it a hardship where' the Public were etimpelled
to take Bank Paper in payment, that they had
not the means of telling whether it was good. or
bad. Under the idea that this Bill would go to
remedy the evil, and consequently be of general
utility, he should support it.
Mr. JONES said, the rc Bank of England were
once Gold Merchants, now they are Paper Mer-
chants—this is the solid System of Finance."—[Ex-
bibiting a torn Bank Note]. ,
Mr. JOHNSTON opposed the Bill.
Mr. W. pCI NDAS thought it an advant:gc that
the Paper of the Bank of England should be, dis_
tinguished from all other Paper •
Sir FRANCIS BARING thought the distin-
guishing the Paper of the Bank of England would
be a public utility, because it would establish a
difference between Paper and Paper, and obtain for
the Bank of England that confidence to which it
was entitled, by giving a security to the holder of
the Bank of England Paper, that -what he was in
-possession of must be genuine.
Mr. NICHOLLS differed from the Hon. Baronet.
He disapproved of making a distindion between
Paper and Paper. •
Sir ROBERT PEEL thought it no hardship
that the Bank of England should have discrimi-
nating marks which private individuals had not.
• Forgeries .were become so alarmingly extensive,
:that it behoved the Country to aid the Bank in
such measures as may put a stop to them. He
considered the Bill of great utility, as it would
preserve the credit of the Bank of England all
over Europe. He wished the House to consider
that the circulation of the Paper of the Bank of Eng-
land was not confined to this Country, it extended
itself over Europe, and he thought any measure
which tended to confirm that credit to which it
was entitled, must be of ultimate advantage; and
nothing could do so in a greater degree than by
the holder of Bank Paper, either at hoMe•or abroad,
being certain he could not be imposed upon in the
species of Paper he was in poSsessiOn of.: For these
reasons he would support the measure, and vote for
Speaker's leaving the Chair.
Mr. 110B110USE approved of the Bill so far as
it went, but regretted the Right Hon. Mover of it
had not endeavoured to deVise something for the
proteelion of the C untry Banks, as,was -proposed
in a former Bill, which had been withdrawn for rea-
sons he could not comprehend, He Supposed this
measure of particular partiality to the National
Bank, was in pursuance of that system of recipro-
cal favour whim had so long prevailed between
the Administration and that Establishment—as in
the case of the CoMmutation for Stamps which
Ministers some years back entered into with the
Bank, by which the-Public Revenue was deprived
of the considerable .adVance it must have derived
from the increased circulation of Bank Notes,which
had since taken place. He coniplimented,the Hon.
Baronet who had announced his intention of speedi-
ly bringing forward a measure for the security of
the Country Bankers.

.Mr.THORNTON disclaimed any other motive
on the part of the Bank Directors, in preparing the
8411, than that of a solicittkie for the public good,
as it must be obvious they were not liable to pay
forged notes. He- defended the Commutation for
Stamps, to which the last speaker had alluded, as a
fair public' contract
Colonel EL FORD- said, the Bill seemed to be
much misunderstood; the very.end and objea of it
oust be defeated; if the marks described in the Bill
were allowed to be used by other Banks.
Mr. 140.13NOUSE explained.
The .
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, he did not feel it necessary to enter into any
vindication of the contrati formerly entered into
with the Bank respefting Sumps. It was a measure
publicly concluded by the Government, and had been
sanaioned and recognized by Parliament as a mea.
sure of justice and policy. He supported the Bill
before the House) because it was calculated for

the most humane and beneficial purposes, and %vas
not by any means influenced by considerations of
personal attachment to the Bank Ilireaor3. -it ITas
a mistaken idea to suppose the measure resulted
from tin); motive of peculiarly benefiting that In-
titution ; and it was still more mistaken to ima-
gine that it could ever have been designed to dis_
credit the-Country Banks, which were confessedly so
advantageous in earryfng on our inland concerns,
but who were not so liable to foegery,for they held

out no temptation so strong, nor did they by the
extent of their circulation, -affbrd such facilities to

the offenders as the National Bank. They wete not,
however, precluded from using such devices as they
might think proper for their 9sVp security. The
Bill en the Table only proposed to confine a certain
discriminating line to 'the Bank of England, whose
proteetion against Forgery more immediately con-
cerned the Legislature, as its interests were doubt_
less more intimately interwoven . with the Empire
than that of the Cauntry Banks.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL argued strcrgly
in support of the Bill, as extremely well calculated
to prevent Forgery.
The Motion was agreed to without a aivisioP,
and the Bill went through the Committee.
The Report was received, and ordeie4 to be
taken into farther consideration this day sennight.
The Irish Hop Duty Importation Bill was reaci a
Ee.-:d time, and committed for to-morrow.

Sir YOMN Si:tel./Olt moved for certain Public
Accounts, but on the suggestion of the Sramtaa,
he delayed making his Motion till to-morrow.,
The House adjourned at seven o'clock till to-
morrow.
