LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1856.

According to notice duly given, the Chancellor
of the Exchequer was yesterday "at home " to
meet all persons desirous of nibbling at " the
Now Loan." Many capitalists attended for the
purpose of exhibiting interrogatories to the Finan-
cial Minister, and thus eliciting information which
should properly have been afforded to Parliament
in the first instance. It is, however, a part of
the system now in operation to abrogate, so far as
possible, the constitutional, functions of the soi-
disant guardians of the public purse, and to de-
grade them into the mere registrars of financial
ukases issued by the Government. The arrange-
ments were artfully constructed with that view,
so as to prevent any Parliamentary interference
or remonstrance. The Budget was postponed
until after the Whitsuntide recess. No informa-
tion could therefore be obtained until after that
period. The Premier gracefully acceded to the
request of " many honourable members " to pro-
long their holidays by having 'the Friday clear.
Although affecting to regret the loss of time, he
suggested that the Government should be allowed
"to make up the eigh t lost hours by being permitted
to carry on public business after 12 o'clock at
night."
