KING'S SPEECH.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
Order of the Day for the consideration of the King's Speech.
That part of the King's Speech being read by the SPRAKEU,
stating that he bad ordered the Estimates of the year to be laid
before them, and requesting the Connuons would grant him a
Supply,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that
a Supply should be granted to his Majesty pursuant to his"
gracious Speech, which was agreed to; and he then moved the
House should to.morrow resolve itself into a Committee of
Supply to consider of a Supply.
Lord A.' lIAM ILTON begged to know from the Right Hon.
Gentleman opposite if it was his intention, as respected the one
pound Bank-notes, that the regulation alluded to by the Right
Hon. Gentleman as applicable to these notes in England,should
apply to Scotland, .so to put the currency of that country as
nearly as possible-on a. footing with that of Ireland.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obierved that
the regulation had' been 'intended only to reach' the evil of an
increased circulation in this country. What the Noble Lord
had observed was correct as respected Scotland. The smaller
notes had never been prohibited. A difference had ,thence
arisen certainly in the circulation front this circumstance.
However as he had fixed so very early a day, Friday next,
for bringing this subject in detail before the }louse, he should
now excuse himself to the Noble Lord front entering into any
further explanation until Friday, when he should endeavour to
give the Noble Lord and the House the fullest information in
his power on this very important subject.
A new Writ was ordered fora Knight of the Shire to serve
for the County of Northumberland, in the room of Charlet.
