Irish Laud Revenue in course of collection,
whether accruing from the yearly rents, or from
the purchase monies for property contracted to

services, however, to which the Consolidated
Laud Revenues are appropriated, require that
the sums so paid in Ireland should be remitted
to London, and such remittances were for some
time made without charge, by transfers to the
credit of our public account at the Bank of Eng-
land ; but in the month of September last, the
Governors and Directors of the sank of Ireland
communicated to us, by letter, that as all choir
transactions with the Bank of England were sub-
ject to a charge of commission there, their cash
transfers to our account at that Bank would
thenceforth be charged with a commission of one
quarter per cent. The total yearly amount of
the charge will probably be about 1751.; and
having regard to the perfect security and acc,,m-

of the Bank, under the existing arrangements
with it, and to the reason assigned by the Com-

objection to the charge for the service in question,.
