Let theta I°6k to the extensive' county of Lancaster. In that
county not merely notes but small bills of exchange of as low
value as 51. Were in common circulation. A.bill of exchange ,was
at least as easy to forge as a note, and yet it did not appear_ that
any public,inconventence was sustained from that 'cause • - It
was also necessary to- take into consideration the number of
persons paid yearly for counterfeiting the coin of the realm.—
The Hon. and,Learned Gentleman had observed, that for his
part he could not consider that the other hranches of the com-
munity Were in a flourishing condition, and even if they mere,
he added, thathe shoUld derive no consolation from such a cir-
cumstance. Now'while he agreed with the Hon. and Learned
!ientleman, 'that it was distressing to perceive so large and va-
lued --a portion of the' community distreiSed by temporary dif-
lic.ulties, he most forgive him if hederiVenbine satisfactionfrorn
"wing that-the other classes of the'COnitiitinity.Fere in a pros-
perous condition. That they Were rapiill yililproving could not
be denied. • • The very great increase in the amount of revenue
Upon all those -productions, which might 'be estimated, if not
among the lukuries, 'at- least among the comforts of life,
proved the flourishing condition of the people. The lion. and
Learned Gentleman had referred' tei Seine , paper which he de-
scribed as a soft of paivn-broking 'advertisement.. Ile had never
3eeti that plan,. but he would pIY mention what occurred in
TCommittee- last year. His Han. Friend, the Member for
aunton (Mr. Baring), seeing the delicate and difficult situation
to which the county was then Plaeed, stated that he saw no re-
biedY except that during the years of plenty Government should
buy the surplus and keep it in store, so as to equalise as much
a' possible the demand. He objected to a course which he
cone'.:ived would bring the Government .into all the inconveni-
ences attendant upon a very tranendom.and. a very extensive
'peculation. He thought that less inconveniences would arise
frou-t reSortini* to the course proposed, namely, advancing some
Proportion of the price upon the corn, . and: thus'relieving the
Cistresses of the agriculturist without involving the Government
in any dangerous speculation. Ile admitted that this was
but` un artificial system ; but as long as a country chose to
rest upon artiticfal systems, it was impossible to resort to
a3Y other means of alleviating her distress, excepting such
43 grew out of .that system. .He .thought too that the plan •
to, which he had. alluded would prove less inconvenient than
tne remedy which it had been so long the policy of this
country to pursue, namely, the granting of a bounty upon ex-
'4.?rtation, for the purpose getting rid .of the surplus. His
"•-\ ohle Friend had observed that he (Mr. Huskisson) wished to
I.ll3tnit to the. House certain resolutions upon this subject. He
should (into without any further preface, upon the understand-
ing that they should be printed • and that on a future occasion
he should be indulged, as early' as it was consistent with the
feelings of the House, to state the grounds of difference between
himself and his Noble Friend.—(The Hon. Gentleman then
read his resolution§ which were ordered to_be printed.] .
Mr. BROUGHAM, on explaining his view of the case, ob-
served, that the corn grower was to bring his corn to warehouse,
end to receive sixpence a quarter per month. This was not in
his
be nature of a loan., bat was paid to him as hire for depositing corn-.
HUSKISSON and Mr. RICARDO said a few words
that were inaudible.
7 Sit R..WILS 0 N asked, whether the contractors were to have
any influence on the exchanging of officers from the half to the
full pay
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the
e9ntractors were to have no controul whatever upon the army,
which must stapd by its present arrangements.•
The Resolutions 'were laid on the table.. and ordered to be
printed, with a view to their subsequent discussion.
d•Mr• PEARSE said a few words, which were totally inau-
thle in the Gallery.
t 1 A". ItICARD(), in explanation, stated, that several Gen-
....enzen had. expressed a 'disapprobation of the renewal of the
ti.ank Charter, unless the whole subject were submitted to the
consideration of the House.
The House •haYing resumed, the Chairman 'repelled pro,
greys, and obtained leave to sit again on 'Wednesday.
QOn the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
UER, a return was ordered to be laid on the table, of the
stun necessary to pay off the Irish Five per Cents.
The Committee on the Superannuation Bill was postponed
to Wednesday. -
The other. Orders of the Day were then diSposed of, and the
House adjourned at Half-past One o'Clock.
