the .sth July next, he was indureti to fix upon that
last date as the period, after whichh there would be
no necessity for local tokens. He had always in-

'Under any circumstances, proper measures would
be taken to relievg:the circulation in /rela»d. The
traile in that country had beets very Much injnred
by the state of the circulation. The scarcity of
the small change was an evil which called loudly

was the duty of the House principally to assist.

The House having then ,resolved itself into a !

Mr. VANsurrAar, in reply to the' queries.which
had been put to him by theiNoble Lord who spoke
before him, stated that the ftiture iisue of coin

possible to say; but there was no doubt that when
the circulation of Local. Tokens is stopped, a
number of the Bank Tokens would return into
circulation.
Lord A. IlAmit,Totot thought that it was not a
clear proposition, that because the rate of ex-
change Iyas raised, the Bank Tokens which might
he issued should 'remain in circulation on accout
of such rise.

Some conversation ensued, in which Mr. :Van-

sible that the issue of coin which the' Right Hon,

the House would probably not be sitting at that
time, the Right lion. Gentleman should intmduce
a Clause to the effect; that the Bill might be re-
