INDIA MAILS.

Mr. OSBORNE inquired of the Secretary of the
Admiralty whether any, and what, tenders were re-
ceived by the Admiralty for the conveyance of the
Calcutta mails monthly between Southampton and
Alexandria, in consequence of their advertisement of
the 17th day of April last; and if any, from whom,
and the amount of each tender respectively? Also,
whether any tender so received had been accepted; and if
so, the name of the party and the sum agreed upon ?
Should it so happen that no tenders were received, then
to state what other arrangements had been made
for performing the service, as the contract with the
Peninsular and Oriental Company would expire on
the 31st day of December next. It had been said that
the Government intended that the service should be per-
formed by:. war-steamers.

Sir J. LIOBTIOUSE said it was not the intention of
the Government to carry the Indian mails by war-
steamers. Two tenders had been received by the
Admiralty in answer to their advertisement, but
neither of them had been accepted, because it
was thought that they were much higher than the
public were entitled to expect would be required for the
renewal of the contract. A negotiation was, however,
going on with those parties, and it was hoped that it
would result in a considerable saving to the public.
CONVEYANCE OF PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS

23, 1848.

Lord G. BENTINCK said he was not satisfied with the
explanation given by the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. HUME complained of the mode in which returns
were furnished to that House.
After a few words from Mr. G. ROBINSON and Mr.
HENLEY,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that much
of the inconvenience arising from the returns furnished to
that House arose from the fact, that departments were asked
for returns which they really could not furnish with accuracy.
The returns moved for by the Noble Lord would, if granted,
only mislead the public.
Mr. SPOONER said that the explanation given by the
Government on this subject was anything but satisfactory.
Mr. WILSON explained the discrepancy in the returns in
question to arise from the fact that those which appeared
under the head of the Customs were taken from the ship's
manifest, while those under the head of the Board of Trade
were the result of careful official information of the goods
which had gone through all the forms incidental to ware-
housing, &c.

Mr. niACGREGOR said that some new system must be
adopted with respect to the entry of ships in the various
ports of the kingdom.
Mr. DISRAELI said he had in his hands the Custom-
house return, which was said nut to be official, and yet he
found that it was stated on the face of it that it was published
by authority. Now, these Custom-house returns were long
looked to by the commercial world as an authority. If it was
not official it was authentic. The return from the statistical
department of the Board of Trade might be official, butit was
not authentic. The Custom-house return was that which the
merchants relied on.

Mr. LABOUCHERE said he would not object to the
return.

Sir ROBERT PEEL said one of these returns was
official, the other not strictly so. The question was, whe-
ther they could not make such a return as would give the
public this information, without stamping it with an official
character.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said there could be no objection
to the suggestion of the Right Hon. Baronet, but the mo-
tion of the Noble Lord must be put in another form ; as it
stood it would lead to an impression, that there was error on
the part of those who furnished the returns. The fact was,
that the Custom-house returns were earlier in point of date,
the other more accurate after the sugars were weighed, and
their true quantities ascertained.

Mr. HERRIES thought it ought to be explained how
discrepancies so great had arisen, as a difference between
9,0001. tons and 20,000.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would make inquiry from the Customs department to ascer-
tain how the discrepancy arose, and whether the return was
correct.

Mr. BROWN said the sugars on their shipment in the
West Indies were not accurately weighed, and that would
account for the difference.

Lord G. BENTINCK then consented to withdraw his mo-
tion, which was accordingly withdrawn.

COMMERCIAL DISTRESS.

Mr. BERRIES rose to bring forward the motion of which
he had given notice, on the subject of commercial distress.
He did so with reluctance at this period of the session, but
he felt himself compelled by a sense of duty to bring the sub-
ject before the House, and in doing so he hoped to be favoured
with their indulgence. The motion he had to submit was as
follows:—" That this House resolve early in the next session
of Parliament to take into its serious consideration the re-
ports from the Committee of this House, and from the Com-
mittee of the House of Lords communicated to this House, ap-
pointed to inquire into the cause of the recent commercial dis-
tress, and how far it has been affected by the law for regu-
lating the issue of bank-notes payable on demand." He felt
assured that if it was understood in the country that this sub-
ject was to remain as it now was, without any fursher discus-
sion during the present session, it would have a most unsatis-
factory effect upon the publicmind. Pie could not exaggerate
the importance of this subject; and he was certain, therefore,
that it would receive all due attention from the House. They
were all aware that in 1844 the then Government felt them-
selves called upon to revise and recor Sider the engagements
existing between the Bank of England and the public, and
that they proposed a most material alteration in the nature
of these engagements, and in the reg ulations that governed
the currency of the kingdom. The in easure of 1844 was in-
troduced by gentlemen of the highest influence and autho-
rity ; it was supported by great eloquence and power, and
received the approbation of the House generally, though there
were many exceptions. It proceeded on the assumption that
it was necessary to introduce some stringent regulation in
order to govern the currency of the country, consisting of
issues of bank-notes payable on demand, so as to prevent
certain evils which were assumed to be at the bottom
of the commercial convulsions experienced before that
time. It was assumed that to the nature of the issues
of the Bank of England those commercial convulsions
were mainly owing, and that by certain alterations
they might be prevented for the future. The new
measure, it was said, would prevent the evils arising
from the too frequent fluctuations in the value of money,
and would at the same time put an end. to undue mercantile
speculation ; and, as a climax to the adivantages that were to
be derived from the measure, it was st tid that it would effec-
tually secure the convertibility of thte bank-note. There
were, however, many who did not c oncur in these favour-
able anticipations of the Bill of 1844, :tad who thought they
saw in the machinery of the Bill the cause of positive dan-
ger. It was feared by some that the proposal to divide the
Bank into two departments, viz., the issue and the
banking departments, would not only not answer the
purpose for which it was intended, but might lead to
great and difficult crisis in the commercial affairs of the
country. Time had now brought to the test the differ-
ences of opinion which were then expressed. The course of
events within the short period of three years brought the
working of that measure completely to the test, and fully
proved how well founded were the objections which had been
urged against it. It might now be declared beyond all pos-
sibility of doubt, that that Act had not succeeded in pre-
venting undue and extravagant speculation, for three such
years of extravagance and speculation as those which fol-
lowed it had never been known in the history of the world.
Neither had it prevented extraordinary fluctuations in the
value of money, for within a period of eight or nine months
they had seen the interest of money at three per cent, and at
ten per cent.--( Hear, hear.) Certainly the note had never
become inconvertible, and he hoped it never would, but it
was impossible for any one to show that its convertibility
had been secured by this Act. The ea.perience of the last
three years had proved that the dangers anticipated from
the machinery of the Act were 'nut too real. The
events of the month of October we re sufficiently fresh
in the minds of all, and would lo ng be remembered
by the mercantile community; and i t was therefore un-
necessary for him to go into the d etails of that period
It was sufficient for him to state that Ithe Government were
compelled to step in and suspend the provisions of the Act
of 1844, and that this proceeding was :hailed by Parliament
with satisfaction.—( Hear.) On the present occasion he
would confine himself to the restrictin g clause of the Act.
His object was to impress upon the 114mise the necessity of
assuring the public that they would, at the earliest time
they could undertake it, deliberately .consider this subject
with a view to determine whether that Act of 1844, so far
as restrictive measures were concerned, ought to be retained,
modified, or repealed.—(Hear.) The Government bed pro-
posed and obtained the appointment of a Committee to
consider this subject, but the only effect of that step. had
been to throw off the discussion of the .question to a distant
period of the session.—(Hear, hear.) •One of the most re-
markable features of that Committee -was its composition.
Of the twenty-six persons comprising it:, eight or ten were
opposed to the object of inquiry, and n early all the others
were at the disposal of those who had the management of
the Committee.—(Hear.) The House of Lords also appointed
a Committee; and after a long lapse of time they had now
two reports, and it was to those reports be wished to call the
attention of the House, as affording the strongest possible
grounds for his motion. The Committee of the House of
Commons reported that the evidence which had been given

of the Act of 1844, as regarded the issuer of country banks,
had been admitted, and that though some witnesses had sug-
gested alterations, very few had propose 1 any alteration in
the general principle on which the mean ire was based. The
Committee thought it should be left for I,be Government for
the time being to take such measures ao might be thought
best calculated for any such eigency an might occur; and
they did not think it expedient to maks, any alterations in
the Act of 1844. The opinion of the Ho use of Lords' Com-
mittee differed very materially from thatof the House of Com-
mons' Committee. The recommendationoilnf tehipeleHoounsswohfiot
rdathe'
Committee was to the effect that the pr
Act of 1844 should be amended was that of a discretionary
power to be exercised by the Bank of England in cases of
exigency. Here were two Committees reporting in opposi-
tion; one thinking it better to leave things as they were,
the other thinking that the Act of 1844 ought to be
amended. He would show on how slender a foundation the
report of the Commons' Committee rested; and he must
give credit to the. Chancellor of the Exchequer for the great
dexterity and indomitable intrepidity of his management.
There were six Members intimately connected with com-
mercial affairs in the Commons' Committee; and it was re-
markable that of those five voted always with the minority.
But what was the character and effect of the evidence? Peo-
ple out of doors could not be expected to read the evidence so
as to satisfy themselves of its true bearing, and therefore
he should give a brief analysis of it. The Committee exa-
mined twenty-six witnesses on the two subjects of investiga-
tion. Of those two were examined exclusively on the sub-
ject of the East India trade. Deducting (them, he would
divide the remaining twenty-four into five classes. The
first consisted of persons delegated and selected by
large commercial bodies to represent them and ex-
press their opinion before the Committee. Mr. Bevan
was selected by the London bankers; Mr. Birkbeck
was selected to convey the opinions of the country. bankers;
Mr. Kinnear was deputed by the Chamber of Commerce,
Glasgow; Mr. Macfarlane by the Chamber of Commerce,
Edinburgh. These four witnesses were of the same opinion
with respect to the Act of 1844, attributing to it the effect of
having considerably aggravated the commercial distress of
1847, and stating that it required to be amended by the
introduction of some power to abate its restricting regula-
tions. The second class consisted of persons presiding over
large commercial and banking establishments. Of those
there were eight; three represented the Bank of England,
including the governor and deputy-governor; one the
Bank of Ireland ; four others represented
.different bank-
irig establishments; Mr. Andersen, the Union Bank of
Scotland; Mr. Bell, the City of Glasgow Bank; Mr.
Murray, the Provincial Bank of Ireland ; and Mr.
Bristow, the Northern Bank of Ireland. The witnesses

house of Barings' ; Mr. Horsley Palmer, who thought it in-
expedient to continue the provisions made by the Act of
1844 with respect to the Bank of England. The fourth class
i
consisted of persons engaged n banking from provincial
towns. There were six gentlemen examined who were con-
cerned in manufacturing or banking establishments in the
provinces. Mr. Pease represented the manufacturing and
mining districts of the north in the neighbourhood of
Durham ; Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Turner, the one a banker
and the other a merchant, were examined from Liver-
pool; Mr. Gardner, from Manchester; Mr. Salt and Mr.
Muntz, froni Birmingham; they all expressed an opinion
adverse to the provisions of the Act of 1844. He should
exclude, however, the last two witnesses, as being op-
posed to the Act of 1819 as well as the Act of 1844. The
fifth class consisted of those gentlemen who were de-
scribed in the report as theoretically acquainted with the
subject under the consideration of the Committee, though
not practically engaged in business, namely, Mr. Jones Loyd,
Mr. Tooke, and Mr. Taylor. It was hardly necessary'
to state that Mr. Loyd was as strong a supporter of the Act
of 1814 and an opponent of alteration as the Governor and
Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England. Mr. Taylor was
opposed to the whole monetary system of the country, to the
Act of 1819 as well as the Act of 1844. Of the twenty-four
witnesses nineteen were against the Act of 1844; but there
was one, Mr. Macdonald, whose evidence he abstained from
adducing, and there were three whom he excluded from view,
as opposed equally to the Acts of 1819 and 1844 ; twenty re-
mained whose testimony was to be weighed. Of these, six-

teen declared it to be their opinion that the Act of 1844 re-
quired amendment, and there were only four distinctly in
favour of the Act. But, looking to the character of Chose
witnesses, it would be found that of all those who were de-
puted to express the opinions of commercial bodies and
banking establishments, only four, three of them being
bank directors, were against an alteration of the Act
of 1844; that three eminent persons connected with the
money-market were against the Act; that with re-
spect to six persons who represented important estab-
lishments in the provinces, even excluding two, as he had
stated, they were all of opinion that the Bill required amend-
ment in the sense of relaxation of the restrictions; that one
eminent writer was distinctly opposed to the Act ; and yet,
with such a preponderance of numbers against the Act as 16
to 4 among the witnesses, the Committee said it was "after
a careful review of the evidence" that they had come to the
conclusion that it was not expedient to make any alteration
in the Act. It was by force of numbers that they came to
that conclusion. The evidence received by the Lords' Com-
mittee was nearly to the same effect, and, with few excep-
tions, the same witnesses were examined; but the Lords'
Committee seemed to have bestowed rather more patience
and care than the Commons' Committee had exhibited.
There were three elements to be taken into consideration al
pointing to the conclusion that some alteration of the Act of
1844 was necessary. The first was the letter of the Treasury
written in October last, which would not have been written
had not such an emergency occurred as the Act of 1844 could
not meet of itself; the second was the report of the House
of Lords' Committee, expressly declaring that the Act re-
quired amendment ; and the third was the evidence of the
twenty witnesses examined on the subject before the House
of Commons' Committee, sixteen of whom declared them-
selves adverse to the general principle of the Act of 1844.
The reference made to the Committee consisted of two parts;
the first relating to commercial distress, and the second to
the effect which the Acts then in force for regulating the
issue of bank-notes might have had on that distress. The
latter of these was the main subject of reference, for without
that he believed the inquiry would not have been instituted.
The question, so far as the report of a Committee could
decide it, had been decided, as he had already shown, in
two opposite ways; and his object in then addressing the
House was to call upon them to declare that, after all the
events that had led to the inquiry, after the nature of the
inquiry itself, after the result of that inquiry in another
place, this subject should not be allowed to sleep—(Hearr,
hear)—that it should not be cushioned—that it should not
remain merely as an expression of an opinion of a Coin-
mittee upon the table of the House ; but that the House
would come to some solemn deliberation upon the subject, 50
as to satisfy the country, who were looking to them with
great anxiety on it, either that the belief which so generally
prevailed that the Act of 1844 required some great change,
so as to enable them to meet another great crisis, if such
should unfortunately arise was erroneous, or that they were
prepared to make such a change in the Act as to give the
country confidence in the existing monetary system.—(Hear,
hear.) When he proposed in the early part of the 'melon
that, pending the inquiry, the House should suspend the
restrictive clauses of the Act of 1844, he was met by two ob-
jections,— first, that there was a Committee of Inquiry into
the subject, and that therefore he ought to wait for its re-
port, and, secondly, that Parliament was then sitting, and
would be able to give relief by relaxing the operation of
the Act in case of any emergency. But what was be
told now? To rely on her Majesty's Ministers, who were
ready to do again what they did in October last, if
there should be any necessity for it. His reply to that was
that it afforded him no satisfaction. They did not interfere
in October last till infinite mischief was done; they bad no
right to interfere till great mischief was done • and this wee
not a state of things that mercantile men would be satisfied
with.—(Hear, hear.) Was he asking too much, then, when
he said that the House ought not to separate before acknow-
ledging the importance of coming to an early decision on the
subject? At this late period, when many Members had left
town, wearied of a session which, " like a wounded snake,
dragged its slow length along," and which people were
beginning to fear would be interminable—at this late period
he could not venture to bring forward a specific motion on
the subject, but he did not think he was asking too
much in calling upon the House to say that early
next session they would take this great subject
into their serious consideration. He could not ima-
gine upon what ground this could be objected to. Were
they to be told that there was to be no change in the Act of
1844? If so, the country would know at once what to
look to. The House might rest assured, however, that what-
ever might be the majority on the present occasion—what.
ever means might be taken to stifle further discussion on the
subject—there was a majority elsewhere that would not allot
the question to rest--(Hear, hear)—and that even in that
House there were Members who would consider they well„.
neglecting their duty to this great commercial country, "
they did not stand forward to provoke a discussion on it 0
early as possible next session. The Right Hon. Gentlemen
concluded by proposing his motion.
Mr. DRUMMOND said that the Right Hon. Gentlemen
who had just sat down had thought it right to serve up to
them on that, the 22d day of August, a recilauffe of a bullion
debate, a farce which, under the best of circumstances, he (Or'
Drummond) considered to be exceedingly uninviting, and es'
pecially EO at this late period of the session.—(Hear, hear.)
One reason which the Right Hon. Gentleman assigned for
pressing for an early reconsideration of the question was, that
they might come to some final settlement. Now, considering
that this was a question which had been in dispute for the
last 150 years, he, for one, entirely despaired of ever
seeing a final settlement of it.—(Hear, hear.) The Right
Hon. Gentleman, in his analysis of the evidence, had dwelt
greatly upon the fact that a majority of bankers and corn'
mercial men had objected to the Act of 1844. This would
have formed an equally valid objection to the bullion report
of 1810, but he considered that the value of the evidence of
bankers and commercial men on this subject was exceed'
ingly questionable, and was the last that ought to be re.,
ceived as an authority on A.—(Heer, hear.) He thought it
would be unwise in the House to pledge itself to what they
should do on a future occasion. Sufficient for the session
were the debates thereof—(Laughter)—and, for his part, be
should certainly not promise that next year he would gointo
this subject again.
Mr. NEWDEGATE hoped the House would not be led
away from the proposition of his •Right Honourable Friend
the Member for Stamford by the flimsy pretences of the
Hon. Member for West Surrey. Hon. Members might
attempt to laugh this question down, but it was not in
their power to do so. He begged the House to consider the
present position of the country. It appeared that an alarm-
ing deficiency had lately taken place in the amount and
value of our exports, and he feared:that if, unfortunately, this
should prove a bad season for the corn and potato crops
we should not only have to encounter pressure like that of
last winter, but our difficulties would be greatly enhanced.
He asked the House, then, whether they would inflict upon
the country, debilitated as it was, a recurrence of the die'
asters of last year, without holding out the hope whiCh the
proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for
Stamford conveyed, that they would be ready to consider
this great question early next session ?—(Hear, hear.)°es_
found that, from the sth of July, 1844, to the sth of Jrn.r
1845, the real value of the exports of British and Irish
manufactures and productions was 59,076,9871., and the °IS'

An Hoar. MEMBER moved that the House be counted.

Mr. NEWDEGATE resumed his argument. The 0011'
