LINCOLN GAOL.

RwsoN, adverting to the retitions 'pre-
suited., and statements made by Sir S. toi illy
and 31r. Brougham, on -Saturday, respecting the
abuses in Lincoln Gaol, -.which, statements-he.de-
dared weresuch• as to -airect not only the charac-
ter, but the peace of the County, intimated his in-
tention of moving on Friday for a Corm:mite to
inquire into the. state of that Gaol: , •
Mr, BaotTon_azr, in the absence of his•tlon.
Friend (Sir S. Borniily), trusted that as his
,flon.'
• _ •

_
Friend bad given notice of a motion on the sub-
ject for Wednesday se'nnight, when, justice would
be clone to all parties, that the Hon.-Gentleman
would -not persist in- his notice. He was pre-
pared by evidence to corroborate the statement
which he had made. , .
Mr. ELLISON hoped the motion would be en-
lsrged, so as to embrace the conduct of the Magi-
tracy of ,the County, as their' conduct had been
igned.
Mr. BROUGHAM expressed leis concern that any
unfavourable impression should have been made
on that quarter from any thing he had said. His
wish was that the, motion should be made as gene-
ral as;po4sible.
Mr. FAA.' s oN, upon this understanding, did not
press his motion..

• IRISH LOAN-WAYS .AND MEANS.
Mr, WEI:LESLEY PotE moved the Order of the
Day for the House going into a Committe of
Ways and gleans,- to take into consideration the
terms of the Irish Loan. • -

A corisiderable.discussion arose-On this motion,
it being
.objected to by Mr. C:WyNNE", in the
sent state of the Administration. He. thought
that the -Committee' Miould be postponed. to- some
future day, when a responsible.-Minister might be
present to Jnove it in the Committee.'
Mr.. W. POLE observed; that no person could be
more ,sorry than he. was, in .the present state of
things, .to bring forward any public business—
whlch, indeed;.he had avoided as much as possible;
but it ought to be recollected that the present Loan
was in progress before the melancholy accidenttook
place, which deprived the country of his Right
Hon. Friend. That having. be n the case, it -was
customary to introdue it: as soc nas possible. 'He
did not 'think the Loan was cf such a nature as
would be displeasing to- the House ; and, there-
' fore, he did not anticipate any opposition. lf,
however, it did not give satisfaction, 'it was not
his fault ; for -he had done his best to procure
good terms for the public.— Considerable progress
bad been made in the 'Loan ; one deposit having
already been udvaneed ; it was consectuent.ly of
import-pee that it should be concluded. He must,
however, be riled by the feelings of. the House,
and whateyer their decision was, he•-should bow
•
to it.

Lord CASTLEREAGH said, it was. of the utmost
importance that the subject should be promptly
tonsidexed ; and, if the bargain were not speedily
agreed to, much inconvenience would be felt by
the parties concerned. As all bargains of this de-
scriptkon .must be rigtdeNvvith reference to the ex-

isting state of the market, by delay, considerable
injustice would be clone-to those who had made
their first deposit: He thought no 'good'grOund
could be adduced for putting-off the consideration
of the lo•lui, when his Right Honourable Friend
(Mr: Pole), the Chanecl:ftr of the Exchequer. for
Ireland, who was peculirly connected with the
subject,. was,pre-sent in his place, ready to glive
every inforaiation which the House might' require.

'Sir JonN NEWPORT said, the original objection
had not. been removed. It. was Very true, that a
negociation for a loan had been entered into prior
to the ..death of Mr. Perceval ; but it was not, like
the present, for a million and a half, but for two
,millions.. This was an entirely new bidding fora
smaller sum,-commenced subseqUently to the_ pe-
riod mentioned by 'the Right Hon. Gentleman.
He must also observe, that, merely as Chancellor
of the V.:chequer; the indiVidual holding that situ-
ation had nothing to. do' With the Loan. That
was a 'branch of the public business, which was-
transacted by the Titasury, the first Lord of which
was the proper officer to impart . information.
Under these circumstances, he demanded of the_
House, whether they would g 0 into the consider-,
ation of a question involving a principle of great
impoitance, to the public, while the Ad.ministra-
tio.n was in abeyance He again repeated, that
the negotiation for the Loan was recommenced
subsequent to the death of Mi. Perceval, and had
only been renewed within these feW (rays ; and the
Right Hon. Gentleman having hadf the biddings
transmitted to him, now wished to hurry the bu-
siness forward.

Mr. W. PoLi hadbroughtthe,measure fOrward
at the present time, merely through a sense of
duty,, as ifwas essential to the interests of the
Loan COntractors to have the matter, settlect:as
early, as possible. He had no persOnal considera-
tion whatever—it was a matter quite indifferent to
him,. which he submitted to' the opinion of the
House, and he was willing, at the same time, to
take his full,' share of the responsibility attached
to the" measure.
• • Mr. TIERkEY Wished to krioW whether that loan
was bona fide a measure of Mr. Perceval's Admi-
DistratiOn, or whether it had been resorted to since
the lamented death of that Gentleman ? '

Mr. WELLESLLY POLE stated,, that the '.original
.
intention of his lainented friend had been, to raise a
loan of two millions in Ireland. He had, howeVer,
been officially informed, that no ears couldbe got:
for above one million and a half, and he had assented
•to the-raising of that reduced sum. Instructions
had been given by him for. that purpose, the
Government had acted upon them, and the Con-
tractors for the present loan„ were the persons
who had made prpposals during Mr. Perceval's
Administration. The Right. Honourable Gentle•;,
man then repeated 'nis former stateMent, that he
had no personal Motive in bringing tke question
forward, and that he left it entirely to the sense
of the' Hbuse.

Mr. ROSE 'confirnied the statement of the Rignt
Hon. Gentleinan, -is to Mr. Perceval's share in.
the transaction • and obserVed, that public faith
required an. early approval of
w the Loan. ' -
Mr.:WYNNE .would not object to the motion,
if he could he satisfied that the meninre had Ori-
ginated With, 'Mr Perceval's AdMinistration ; but
.he thought that the House could not be too tena-
cious of..the:r,ight they ..4acl of enforcing the re-
dress of grievances; by withholding supplies from.
the Crown:--,ln the present mome.lit, the coun-
try justly complained of a Want of Administra-
tion,. and their duty was to see. that this loan
was not intended to'continue that -griev'ance, by
affordidg the :present shadow of
_Administration
the means ofremaining in power some tithe longer.
IT, however, it eras found that the Contractors to
the Irish Loan had • acted -under Mr. Perceval's
AdminiStration, that is, under the authority of a
Government having power, to enter into contracts
for the public Service,. he thought that public faith
required that the bargain should be ratified.
Mr. BROUGHAM, after thanking his Hon. and
Tiearned Friend, for the constitutional principles
he had advanced, observed, than the Right Hon.
Gentleman opposite (Mr. Wellesley Pole) had
brought
.the,House into a scrape, as they had no
device left but an apparent breach of public faith,,
0.1 the sanctioning of a loan contracted under such
circumstances.

Mr. W. POLE, with much animation, adverted
to the expression of the Hon. and Learned Gentle-
man, that "he had brought the House into. a
scrape." He candidly explained his motives in
bringing forward the motion, and -thought him-
self, entitled to an explanation for that expression.
Mr. BROUGHAM, in explanation, denied any
idea of personally alluding to the Right Honour-
able Gentleman ; the word " scrape" had first
occurred to him, although, perhaps, the word
" dilemma,7 might have been the fittest and most
proper expression. _

Mr. MARTIN, of Galway, observed, that from.
what they had heard from the Rightlion Gentle-
man (Mr. Canning), should an Administration be
formed by Wednesday next, he woad, of course
withdraw his motion. •

The House then went -into, a Committee of
Ways and Means.

• Mr.W. PoLi briefly stated, that a loan had been
contracted in Ireland for a million and a half, at
the rate of 51. 1 15..7c1. per cent. being As. 3d. per
cent, less than last year, and moved the follow-
ing Resolution :

That it.was the opinion of the Committee; that a sum of
•lo 500 0001 -should be raised for the service of Ireland, by way
of a Loan, on the teruis proposed."

SirjOriNNEwi3OaT stated, that he had received
frOm Ireland a paper; Which 'he read, and which
was a protest froni-the' house of 'Franks, com-
plaining of a want of suffiCient. notice for 'the
bidding of the Loai). both inland and in Eng-
land, and stating that they hadAoffered to take
half of the Loan,-on Condition of receiving in
TreasUry bills (the ,stock. 'on ,which the bidding
was) ,the sum of 81: 9S: 6d. only, instead of 101.
at which price the Loan 'had .beenecontracted.—
This, on the half of the-Loan, would'have made
A saving to the public of upwUrdS Of 11,0001. and
on the «! ale, of course, upwards of 22,0001.
Mr. W. POLE affirmed, that longer-notice had
been given in Ireland. than at any formel-periOd.—
As to the want of notice in E'nglanti, it must be

considered as immaterial, for the intention' cf
Government was to raise as
,much .of the money as
they could -in Ireland, as .adVant;:g.eous to that
country in several- ways ; and also with • a view to
relieve the pressure of 'the monev,market in Eng-
land. Here the Right Hon. Gent. entered into
minute details on the negociation.Tor the Load, dnd •
stated, that the first bidding had- beenfor 11/1.- 17s. '
in Treasury BillS which had been rejeetcd by. Sir:
charies Saxton, intrusted by a'i with the
negociation. The second bidding was for 101.. in
the same Bills, and it was not till after thatphipo4al
had been known, that the. house, of -Franks. cafite
with their, proposal of accepting Gd. in
Treasury Bills for half Of the Loan. The Irish
Government would 'thus have been left •in
certainty 'asi to the filling--of the -other half; nor
could they think of encouraging a second-hand
application from men,- who had had an opportuni-
ty of meeting their competitors in'an open'bidding.
This was the unanimous opinion of every man in
official' situation he had thodght it his duty
consult on the subject.
Sir JthiN. NEWPORT had' merely communicated'
the protest, as sent to him from.•lreland, •but knew-
nothing of the parties,. • He-was, however, con-,
yinced of ;he necessity 'of competition, in order to
free the Irish Government from the combination
of the few monied men able to contract for the'
Loans.

This occasioned some conversation between Mr.
Wellesley Pole, Sir John Newport, and Mr. Bar-
ing, in which Mr. Welle'sley Pole stated, that, the
Contractors were to receive for 100,1. in cash 1021.
2s. in stock, and bearing, with the bank interest
on sach a stock, a profit of 51. 1 ls. 7d. as he had
stated before.

The Resolutions were then agreed to, and the
House resumed. The Report was ordered to be
received to-morrow.

Tile Bill for making provision for the Family of
the late Mr. Perceval was read a third time and
passed.
The house then went into a Committee on the
Orders in Council, and heard evidence. Ad-
journed.
