NOTES.

The fact here alluded to, forms no part of the state-
ment, but from its connection with it, deserves to be known;
Four month.; previ(;tis to his death, Mr. Lierbert,, finding his
health declining, sent for a Clergyman of the Church of
England, and upon being asked whence arose the elquge iii
his religious views, answered in the following words:—" Some
years since I was indisposed, and my wife sent for a Roman
Catholic Priest to attend me; in the course of conversation
he enquired what place of worship my wife and children at-
tended. I replied, the Protestant Church. They will be
damned,' says he, ' if they continue in this course, and you
too, if you do not prevent then) going there a-nymore r
Mr. Herbert replied, " I cannot believe my wife will be
damned, for sheds a good woman ;" and he further observed,
" If God raises use from the bed on which Vile, I will search

the Scriptures; to see if you are authorized to inculcate such
doctrines." Mr. Herbert was restored, read his Bible, and
renotruced the errors of the Church of Rome.

t A few days previous to Mr. Herbert's death, he was vi-
sited by another noman•Catholic Priest, who came to repre-
sent to him what he called his dangerous situation : and find-
ing Mr. Herbert inflexibly attached to the religious doctrines
he had embraced, told him that his Bible was wrong, and
launched out info strong and 'Violent invectives against the
Bishop, Dean, and Clergy of the Established Church, stating,
among'other things, that if they Were present, he would put
them under his lea. To all which Mr. litrbert replied, that
he was unable foryeligious controversy; that he had a peace
which he (the Priest) neither gave, nor could he take it from
him ; at the same time requesting that ad future intercodtse
:night cease between them.

TREATIES WITH FOREIGN POWERS.

The. Earl of LIVERPOOL laid upon the table
-copies of the Treaties entered into at Aix-ht-
Chapelle with the different Powers of Europe.
Lord HOLLAND said, lie riid not mean at .pre.
sent to. enter into the. subject. It might, how:-
ever, happen that those Treatiei would become
the sobject of a future motion. He. wished, there-
fore, to be informed whether they conveyed all
such iofot 'nation as was necessary to give a di4tinct
view. of the ena,agements contracted by Great
Britain riming the negociations which took place
latfly
The-Earl Of. LIVERPOOL said, the Treaties laid
upon the.tahle were those entered into at Aix• la-
Chapelle with the' different Powers assembled
there. They would slick, the political relations
in which this country was placed at present ‘vith
recpect to these Powers, and the mutual obliga-
tions existing between them.

BANK OF ENGLAND.
The Eirl of Livstmpoot. rose to move for a
Committee to inquire into the affairs of the Bank,
trith respect to the Resumirion of Cash Pay-
ments at the time provided by law. Before mak-
ing this motion, he thought it right to have given
pievi,,os notice of it, inasmuch as _it re-
hoed to a subject of great public importance.-
Ile had no hesitation in saving, that it: was
his must earnest desire that such an inquiry could
have been rentlere4l unnecessary, by the resump.
tin, of cash payments at the time prescribed-by
Parliament. It was his .wish and expectation
that circumstances would admit of so desirable an
event. • But he never thought that, whenever it
might he determined upon, the measure could be
carried into effect without some inconvenience.
Could the ancient policy of cash payments be re-
verted to, without the necessity of any such in-
(inky as that for which he meant to move, it
wouhl. have been much better. • Early in the Ses-
sion he stated, that it would be necessary to pro-
pose a further combination of the restriction. A
Committee:was not then immediately in his con-
remplation,lmt, now that it %VHS to .be appointed,
be wished the investigation of the subject might
be upon a large scale, and that the Committee
might be left, 'in a great measure, to deal with
the subject as they.pleased— This was not the
groper ;him for entering into tire subject of the
Bank Restriction. Whatever opinions the indi,
'lanais appointed to the Committee Might have
formerly held upon it, they should go into tit,
Committee uninfluenced by those opinions, and
with a determination to investigate fairly and dis-
passionately a subject of so much importance.— ,
XVith tkis view, he should move, that a Commit-
tee of thirteen be appointed to inquire into time
Sidle of. the Bank of England, with reference to
the resumption of cash payments at the. period ap.
pointed by law, and also into the matters con.
fleeted therewith, and to report to time House such
information as.they may have received, and which
they may consider convenient to the public inte-
rest, with their observations thereupon.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE thought the motion,
as it was at present worded, scented to limit the
observations of the Committee to the information
actually laid before' them. It was 'desirable, for
the purpose of obtaining all the krwwledge that
could- be acquired upon the subject, that they
should be at liberty to report their observations
fully and freely. He wished, therefore, that the
word thereunto" should be left out.

Tbe Eat{ of LIVERPooL did not tt•ish to limit
the observiltions of the Con►tuittee in the way al-
hided to by tl►e Noble Earl. He had no objec-
tion to leave out any words in the motion that
seemed to indicate such a limit:01011.

The Marquis of LANiDOWNE wished to know
whether the Committee was to be 9 secret one,
and. beiug. answered in the afii:mative, he ex•
pressed his apprehension, that the inquiry would
not go far euoi.gli, according to the words of the
motion. It should embrace not merely the cir-
cumstances of the Book with respect to the re-
sumption of Cash Payments, but other questions of
considerable importance, such as the state of the
Exchanges, and of the Currency of the Country.
Ile never entertained any doubt that the Bank,
upon inquiry, would be found fully able to meet
all demands ui.on it, but this was not the only
branch of the subject to be considered. lie
hoped, at all events, that the investigation world
be conducted in such a manner as to prove fully
satisfactory to the public.

The motion,..witi) the amendment suggested by
the Earl of LAUDERDALE, was then agreed to, and
Thursday kva4 appointed for choosing the Com-
mittee by ballot,

nats3 amongst the rest, Lo CASTLESEAGII,
WORCESTER, H. MANNERS, &C.
Mr. I,YGON presented a Petition from Kidderminster,
praying-for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the means of
recovering Small Debts.--Referred to Aommittee.

COAL TAX.
Mr. CALVEIrr presented a Petition from St. Saviour's,
against the oppressive duty,laid on Coals, being, for the sur-
rounding counties 9s. Iod. per chaldron, while other maritime
counties had paid only about Cs. eld. per chaldron ; and it.
'prayed-the' Irdirs'EVlberetiEVed from such disproputtionate
taxation.
Sir R. WILSON supported the prayer of the l.etition,wbich
very properly asked relief from heavy burdens, unequally
imposed.
Sir M.W.RIDLEY merely begged to guard himself against
being misunderstood. The Northern counties would have no
objection to the duties being taken off, but they would fairly
object to their being taken off with, the view of being removed
to other shoulders.—Laid upon the table.
MR. HUNT.
Mr. HARVEY presented a Petition from Henry Hunt, ob-
serving, that he forwarded it in the performance of his duty
as a Member, and begging- that he might not be therefore
identified with the prihciples which Mr. Hunt was known to
maintain. It prayed that the Westminster Hustings Bill
might not pass into st law, &c.
Mr. BENNET disclaimed what seemed to have been mis-
'understeod by the petitiooer ; he had not charged Mr. flout
with Iwirig the cause of the disgraceful riots before the Hust-
ings at the last election --Laid upon the table.
The .Southwark Paving Bill was read a second time, and
ordered to be committed.
Mr. IV. SMITH presei.ted a Petition float the Norwich
Grind Jury, praying that the House. would adirpt measures
to promote a more speedy Bail Delivery; obseri in,, that in one
instance, a young Wall had heels imprisoned two ye,-,rs, and
Wien acquitted as wholly innocent. This, uoder any cir-
-cumstances would be had, if not intolerable: hut it was the
.more especially so in a country where the Constaution said
there must be a speedy adthinistration of justice. Norwich
was thus in the situation of -the •Northern Counties, cont.
plairied ot by Mr. M. A. Taylor, and he hoped the propriety
of alf-tditig a remedy would be seen.
Petition read, and laid upon the table.
Mr. S. wonsi.E.: presented a Petition front Halifax,

cash payments.—(Hear !)

persons of Liverpool, which was not only similar to other pe-
titions on this subject, but also couched in similar language.

Otte petitioner, Mr. Ceopper, appended to. his !Mite this. qua-

and he did nut agree in the advaistage of their ever being re-

follow the example.
General GASCOIGNE wished to know when the new Bank

BANK RESTRICTIONS.
Mr. TIEftNRY ruse•to subMit a resolution to the
House for the appointment of a Committee to in-
quire into the most important question which
Could be made matter of debate—that of the
Bank Rust rictions. The terms of his motion should
be—That a Committee be 'appointed to inquire
into_ the effects produced on the exchange between
this and foreign countries, and on the circulating
medium, by the restrictions on cash payments at
the Bank ; and to report thereon, It was'now
some time since a rnmour had been circulated,
which had attracted his attention, that, contrary
to all theik Parliamentary pledges, his Majesty's
Ministers intended,to bring its a Bill to continue
those Bank Restrictioos, which had now existed
for a period of one-and-twenty years. 'the pre-
amble to the Act of the last year stated, that un-
foreseen circumstances bad prevented the resump-
tion of cash payments. Now, it turned out that
more unforeseen circumstances had occurred dur-
ing the last twelve 'months. On the importance
of the question he need not trouble the House.
He had lately witnessed petitions which seemed
to intimate that the question had assumed as mod)
of a popular character as that of Annual Parlia-
ments and Universal Suffrage, and -be strongly
suspected those petitions to have been attained its
the same circular mode as those for Annual Par-
liaments. It was the general sense that an in-
quiry was necessary ; and it now remained to be
shown why such an inquiry should not take place.
Was it to be because he was the mover of it ; be
was persuaded that no Gentleman could vote for
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, unless it could
be shown that his proposition went one step be-
yond, and embraced some point which his
(Mr. Tierney's) did not reacts. For he could
not believe that so independent a body as the
House now enotained would range itself on either
side without being guided by the merits of We
;notion. With respect to its first part, he did not
think that any thing new could be produced.
frankly avowed that the principle of the Bullion,
Committee, as brought to a point with the able
assistance of his lamented Friend, Mr. Horner,
constituted his creed,—a creed which nothing
that bad since occurred hail beetiable to shake. In
conversing with many persons upon the subject,
he bad had the satisfaction to find how rapid had
been the progress ot truth front day to day. For
all professed that the principle was right, though
some maintained that the resumption of cash pay-
ments might still be injudicious. The question
was now very different, from what it once had
been. The danger to the Bank, the difficulties
created by the price of gold, all thos;or-Tsidera-
lions were now set aside. The true .lion was
whether the circulation of the eoudiryl should be
restored, and kept within the bounds, of its na-
tural state. This was therefore no more an ah-
sit act question. And yet it was on this that an.
alarm had been spread throughout the country
and its commercial departments. Gentlemen had
been taught to believe that the safety of the Em-
pire depended on no diminution of the circulat-
ing medium 'taking place. This was a doctrine
which he heard without surprise. It was what
Ise had predicted. The habits, of the patient had.
grown so vitiated by a lung curse ul indulgence,

tliet he could not bear to return too wholesome
regimen. But the alarm to which he had alluded
could not have been supported for a moment un-
less it had derived some sanction from the autho-
ity of persons high in the estimation of•thectitt'o-
try. He should act wrong by the House and the
Nation if he did not call thiegs
,by their tight
names. There wars a strong money. party in the
country, whose object Was toepoison the public
mind on this subject, and to controuf the House
and the Bank itself. This party was composed
of different descriptions of persons. It contained
men Of the highest integrity and effluence, whose
name would pass current from one end of the
earth 'to the other, and who lent themselves to
the object most conscientiously thinking that they
did right. But the•lest were of a different cha-
racter. In fact he considered himself this night •
at tear with all the gamblers anti speculatots in
the stocks. Every word lie uttered was worm-
wood to them.. They would naturally misrepre-
sent his intentions anti attempt to throw discredit
on all he did, But if his living was no offence,
he was etinscious of committing no other.—
He was discharging his duty to his coentry.—
Those men were persons teho bad overt railed ;
who, Without capital, had embatked it) extensive
speculations ; they were mere gamblers ; anti be
asked the i-loose whether it %vas astonishing that
they should oppose with all their might the re-
storation of cash payments ?—They knew. that
the hour of their extinction was come, the
moment the tight curt eney of the land Was re-
stored.. Bet unfortunately that hour had beet;
so long postponed that they had prevailed on the
respectable individuals. whom- he had first men-
tioned, to put their mimes to petitions, aod to
to the House, as •an Englishinael he was
ashamed to speak it, to request that England
should not, have the same circulation as other
countries. "1 he of the Bxchequer, to
whom lie meant no incivirty in what he was about
to state, had, by tile course which he had pursoed,
it not Made.himself an Iri,truwent in their heeds,
at least suffered himself to he cowed 'by their
threats and machinations, He and his Noble
Colleague, Lord Liverpool, had held conferences
with, those
,persons. lie hail made his whole
system -to rest on paper. What could the House
think Of A Finance Minister, who, from year to
year, and from one :Session to another, woUld
on without trying to emancipate the country
nom its difficulties, nay, without manfully look-
ing, or allowing the House to look them in the
face ? His system' consisted -in holding out hope'
that thing" might mettd! That he might join
the ends of the year by an , improvement in the
Revenue and the issue of Exchequer hills- His
object•tii rinse the Revenue was a eery laudable'
one. , But how did he attempt, o effect it ? Not
by laving new duties or other sources, but only
by at, emission of paper:, In 1816, when we
were just beginning to escape from one difficulties,
the amount of paper was very low indeed. Al
the beeinning of 1817 the Right Hon. Genii( man
bad come-with an air of triumph, Which he should
not easily forget, and had told the House thet trii
was restored, that the Stocks were going to. rise,
and that in a-short time he should be able to re-
duce the interest. of money sell off the five
per cents. in three mowth)i the whole seeter eJuie

ed their paper issues from day to day,and that was

Gentleman might say, do you regret.-that
I should raise the public revenue ?"- Certainly
not, if that rise proceeded from sound grilses.--
But he regretted it because it had no solid foun-
estiOns, and held out hopes which' wonlii never he
realized. All knew that great fluctuations in the
funds mtise prove injurious to the. country. Butt
there weremeu who desired such fluctuations. le
1817, the Three per Cents were 'about 63 or 64,
but by the mere operation of paper they had been
raised to 84 ioabout nine months. • This extrava-
gant rise could not be attributed to 'any thing else
titan the issue-of paper. The'• Right Hon. Gen-
tleman had come inflamed with
,the idea of paying
off the Five per Cents., but it was bottomed on
paper, and he knew he mild not pay. He would
perhaps ask whether he (Mr. I'.) would he sorry
that the Five per Cents. should be paid off?
doubtedly if thkit payment were produced by an
increased and forced circulation. He called it a
forced circulation, because the public bad no
choice left whether to take or to refuse paper.—
Thus ti.) raise the price of the Funds, and to re-
duce the interest, was,—what he could not
iex-
press
n
other words, for they would not impart
his :nearing,—what constituted a fraud. Imhsi-
duals had 'placed their money in the Feeds, on the
faith of Government, that the Restrictions on
Cash Paytneuis would cease six months atter the
return of peace. - But would they have done so if
, they had dreamt that those Restrictions would be
continued years after peace, for no other purpose
than to come at their interest ? First, the price
of all the necessaries of life were raised for them
by the system adopted, anti next their interest was
to be reduced I Then they were to he Enid, that
no wrong had been done them, but that they sufe
feral front causes
.which increased the prosperity
of the country. The Right Hon. Gentlemen
would he glad, he trus'cd, on reflection, to find
thatbe had not beets ehle to consummate such an
object. All these points demanded the most se-
!ivies consideration, and the time was come when
the House should interpose on the subject. For
though only one fair and hcnest man had been
found to come forward and to declare that he
wiehed the Bank Restrictions should continue for
ever, he feared that many interested persons were
of the same opinion. Sll6l was the trighttid state
in which we stood. He would not go into any
