THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
presented copies of the correspondence with the Bank
relative to the recommendation of the Government to
enlarge its discount.

Mr. HUME wished to know from the Right Hon.
Gentleman, whether the papers showed the state of the
Bank on the day on which the letter of the Government
was issued, namely, the amount of notes, bullion,
balances, and deposits ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re-
plied that the papers simply contained copies of the
correspondence which had passed between the Noble
Lord, himself, and the Governor and the Deputy-
Governor of the Bank of England on the sub-
ject. The letter of the Government was
issued on the morning of the 25th of
October. A statement of the condition of the Bank
of England on the 23d, the preceding Saturday, had
already appeared in the Gazette, and a copy of it
might be moved for by any Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. HUME said the Right Hon. Gentleman must
be aware that the Gazette could be locked upon as
giving official information to the House. What the
House required was a statement of the operations of
the Bill for two or three months previous to the letter
of the Noble Lord and the Right Hon. Gentleman.
