PAYMENTS TO THE BANK.. _ _

Mr. GRENFELL enquired whether any part of the 6re
millions ordered to he- re;raid to the Bank tinder the deter-

The•CHANCELLOR or the EXCHEQUER trusted the
House would do hint the justice to recollect, that he had
stated last year, that under the arrangements made fo- the
public service, it could not be expected that so early a repay-
ment, of those five millions should take place as had liecn.an-
ticipated, unless the Bank should conseut to give the same
facilities to the loan as in former years. The Bank had re-
layed to grant those facilities, and the payments had been
retarded. He %V S glad, however, to be able to inform the
House, that a considerable sum had already been repaid to
the Bank, and that arrangements had been made for paying
the rest, with which the Directors of the Bank were satisfied.
He should also add, that he saw no reason whatever for en-
croaching on the regulations made by Parliament last year
fur the resumption of cash payments.—(Hear, hear, hear!)
