would move an instruction to the Finance enia-,
mittee, to inquire into the state and nature or 7nl
Sinecure Offices, and to report to the House

Mr. GILES, in pursuance to his notice, rose to
move for. leave tobring in a Bill fo amend the Act
of the sth of the King, by which any individual was
precluded from drawing on his banker at a distance
exceeding ten miles, unless upon a stamp. The
Hon. Gentleman dwelt at considerable length on
the inconvenience and on the evasion which the.ex-
'sting Bill occasioned ; and stated it to be his inten-
tion in the Bill which be wished to introduce to the
House, to eitend•the term from ten miles to tot •.
The CHANICELLOU of the ExclaiscauElt, 1111:i-oust,
he wonid no; object to the introduction of the Bi. 11;
thought tivit the extension of the distarico fret!! ten
to forty miles would be to abandon the ob;ects ior
which the existing Bill was framed.
After a_ few words from Mr. HARVEY, iCAVO If/
using in the Bill was granted.

authentic form.

Mr. HORNER rose to make his promised Motion
for the production of papers to elucidate the CaHit,
of the present high price': of bullion. He enter• d
into a long detail on the subject, in which he at-
tributed the high price partly to the excess 'of
paper, and partly to the state of our foreign com-
merce ; cereal!) branches of which, such as the
importation of naval stores, and of grain, could
not be carried on without bullion ; it being imprac-
ticable to obtain those articles solely in exchange tot ,
our home commodities. He coucludad his statement
by moving—
" That there he laid before the House an aCcouet
of the quantity of golf, 2nd silver exported from t
United Kingdom during each of the last ten years,
ending the Ist of February, lst 0, distingoishi mg
bullion from coin, and distinguishing the ports
whence and to which exported."
Mr. D. GIDDY attributed the evil which was so
'severely felt upon this subje&, in a gneit mean
sure to the quantity of paper issued by Cuori;ry
Banks.
Mr. JOHNSON was happy that the subjea had been
brought before the House, and trusted that every
Paper would be produced which could in any deeiee
elucidate it.
Mr. )11.1GENS also thought that the sootier the
subject was investigated thAetter, as it was one of
extreme magnitude and importance. •
Mr. PATTERSON \ could not perceive how thir
Country Banks were liable to the imputatien
of, having so materially contributed to the pru7.
duction of the evil, as the paper issued by
could at any titre be exchanged for Bank of Erne-
land Notes. •
Mr. H. THORNTON particularly recommended the
reduction of Bank paper,
- The CHANCELLOR of the ESWIECATER I be
no means object to the motion, although he ttered
that the inforarition to be produced by it wou:d.
very scanty. The high price of gold an l; s ve r
(which was not peculiar to this country) NV, K, is
his_ opinion, attributable to the concervent e,es
of the additional demand for those precious
and We interruption of their it: eonation
new world. The increase of paper currency !..e
thought the least operative cause of the evil. it
certainly was a subject deserving of the run;-,t
inquiry, but he repeated his apprehension'iiat tkt
papers moved for would be found wholly insufhertnt
► for the purpose.
Mr. MAR avier. attributed the high price of bul-
lion chiefly to our being compelled to export it ;or
articles which we could not obtain in ant, ether

manner,
Mr. BARING thought that it was in a grf at
measure owing to the extent of our paper citco-
lation, and to the peyment of large Foyelz,l Sub
Mr. floßtte,a's motion was then agreed to. •
