n day ; on the contrary, he thought it would form thF;
of a sy:tcm h.et, ~„.
,tary systein of the on a ben lootio!4,
tnd rendtr it more stk...l:e than it hal evtr
teen before. It would produce that uroniiritv so
ouch to he desired b,tween the Propri-tors and the Direc-
t,rs, and in his opinion it was calculated to introduce a
'ight and proper understanding between the Bank and the
oublic, and would produce more confidence in the
,stallehtnent, than it bad ever eojoyed at any
. _

!srtner period. He had thought it right thus far to
express his individual opinion, because he considered the
-aurse the hest that cou'd be adopted. lie would
tot trespass farther upon the time of the meeting than
nerely to express his satisfaction that the Directors
lad aced in such a manly and straightforward
nanner, and his hype that some one more able than
himself would bring the matter under the notice of the
.neeting.—(Applause.)
Mr. YOUNG—It was stated as an objection to his mo-
tion, that the Court were not yet sufficiently acquainted
virb the great mass of evidence which they now had in
their hands ; of course if this was the opinion of the Court,
he would bow to it; but as the previous question had
been moved, he felt himself bound to offer a few more ob-
,ervations to the meeting.
TLe speaker was interrupted with loud cries of " Ques-
tion, question." The Governor then put the previous
question, which was carried by a large majority.
Mr. LLOYD was again called for. He rose and said,
that after the lengthened observations which he had
lefore indulged in he would move his resolution, only
egretting that it had not fallen into the hands of a snore
able man. He then moved, " that the Court of Proprietors
leclare their confidence in the Court of Directors, and
'heir approbation of their conduct, and the manner in
which they bad supported and upheld the character of
the Bank in the evidence given by them before the Se-
cret Committee of the House of Commons."

Mr. BLACKBURN wi*hed to say a kw words More

that motion we' put. Ho consider, d the time had not yet
arrived for such a motion. He thought there ought to be a
;rest deal more discussion, and the PrPprietors ought to
he pat in po•sesEion of much more information, before
they could entertain it.
Mr. YouNa said the proposition appeared to him to
vo:ve such an approval of the conduct of the Court of
Directors, as he for one could not at all agree with.
A Pitorateroa suggested that the motion only inclwied
their explanations to Parliament, and did not at all extend
to their general conduct.
Mr. YOUNG could not even join in the motion limited as

it would be by that explanation, fur the nature of the
evidence was calculated to effect treat evil, and should not.
have been given till after a previous disclosure to that
Court. The disclosures had done an iitunense deal cif
harm, and it would take the whole vigilance of the prt-
prietors, as well as the Legislature, to produce such a
charter as might have been got without them.
Mr. WINTER. was one who at the last meeting was de-
cidedly opposed to the publication of the accounts. He
confessed that when he heard the Chairman reading over
the heads of the voluminous mass of accounts which were
now on the table, he trembled for the consequences,
which, he conceived, were likely to follow the
publication of them to the world. That such conse-

quences bad not followed these publications, he attributed
entirely to the manner in which the Directors had support-
ed the character of the Corporation, when under examina-
.

tion before the Committee ; therefore he for one would
most earnestly support the motion.
Mr. SELWYN wished to ask one question of the Chair—
man, which was a very short one. Since the publication
of these documents had there been any drain upon the
Treasury of the Bank ?
_

The tiovrittNott there bad been no ex'ra demand for
gold. .None whatever.
Mr. BLACKBURN said that be believed that Lord

Alrhorp had made no promise of Feet ecy after the

Investigation by the Committee, but merely during its
continuance. This he knew as well as a private individual
could.—(Loud cries of question.)

The motion was then put and agreed to with o❑ly two
dis,entients.

The GONICHNOR said it was nosy Isis duty to express
the great satisfactio❑ with which the Directors bad re-
ceived the confidence and approbation of the Proprietors.
They had on the late occasion endeavoured to uphold
the character of the Corporation to the utmost of their
power, and well were they rewarded for merely doing their
duty ; for the present motion was to them a most
sincere gratification. He could not omit returning
his personal thanks to the Honourab!e Proprietor
for the handsome manner in which he had spoken of
his own conduct, coming from such a quarter, where
talent and enlarged views were combined it was doubly
;ratifying. For himself and the Directors he begged to
return their most sincere thanks to the Court. It
[night by some be supposed that the motion which
was first made for the exclusion of Reporters had been
by the instructio❑ and approval of the Directors. He
had only to say that it was entirely without their
knowledge, they had no wish to conceal any thing
which the Court of Porprietors thought ought
,o be made public, and had not the slightest objection to
the presence of the agents of the Press.
The Court then adjourned.
