• ' BAN lIETRICTION. BILL

The }louse having retoleed itself into a Coro.
mittee OH the_Bill for coritintling the Restrictions
on the Payment of Cash by the Bank of England,
The CHANCELLOI of the EicHaQuelt,ptoposed
to fill up the blank with the words " sth of July,
,I 818." •

" Mr. lIIIRNICR obServed, that it should be quite
understoinl that this' was the last possible
sion of the Restrictioni, and that the'-Bill would
come tint of the.Comtnittee with a Parliamentary
recognition to that effect in the preamble. But
if it did not,. he should take .the sense of the
Fihnse upon the subject.

The C HAN CHIA° aof the EXCHEQU ft,,considered
this Bill as necessary to. give the Bank trate to .
prepare for resuming cash payments; and so far
he agreed with the Hon, and Learned Gentleman.
He had.turned it nver in -.his mind, to see if any.'
enactment could be matte iu theßill•to further the
object be had in •spiew, but he could not devise
any. 01 course lie. could not divide the clause re-
ferable to that object.
Mr. Ilottxstt was sorry theßfightlton.. Gentle-
man could not divide t.14,..,c1au5e. Be should,
therefore, endeavour to engraft-on the, J3ill &ordi,
to the effect which he liad in view. Any
cation of the Act of 17.0, namely,• enabling the
Bank'tO give; notice to the Speaker -previous .to•
reStniug-partiltl payMents. .would be uselesi.
The lion kieritleman proposed an 'amendMerit,.
enabling the ;Directors tOpayin cash; either forth"
with, or at any time previous to the fith.Of 'July;
1.51.8, and that they:shalLtkliable after that, perioff
to pay their notes ondemand,
The CruAtvcat.Laisof the Exenatautx read some
words whiCh he inteuded to propose to insert in
the preamble. Vie amendment:cif the [lon. Gen..:
ileman was not calculated to -effect the object ';
which-he bad in view'. What he (the chancellor.
of the Exchequer). would propose was, " that the
Batik should,. as soon us posSihle, resume payL,
=main cash but in order to tiffOril time for re',
visaing thole paytnents, without public inconvei'.
riericc;- !cc,"

Mr. GRiiNFELt should prefer to the opinion of
the Riglit Hon. Gyrolmam, a declaration of the
sense ut Parliament.

Mr, MARIV/ATT conceived that, there was a great
difference between the chutge propoieti by the
Hon. Gentleman and the words ofthe„Ohancellor
tlf the Exchequer. They would conlo'ip., only a
declaration of the opinion of the froll4e, whilst
the clause would be impeeittive. Something should
be done to oblige the Bank to resume cloth-pay—
ments. Atter,showing the inconvenienaies and
dangers which might result from their sospession,
he concluded by expressing his intention to•vote
for Mr. Ilorner's amendment.

The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHttle,UEß thought
the Hon. Gentleman seemed to differ front all
others, for every one had considered that a de-
claration of the sense of Parliament would be
sufficient. He appeared to wish for something
more, hot he did not say what he wanted.
Mr. Swirl" was understood to support the
clause, as more explicit.
Mi. Biomes conceived, that The proposition of
the Right Hon. Gentleman was nothing more than
one of those ordinary renewals which the country
had been accustomed to since 1797. He wished,
therefore, that Parliament would lay It down in
terms in the Bill what was hop9d and expected front
the Bank of England. It was also of consequence
to restrain Country Bankers from indulging *nape.
culations so ruinous to the public happiness. The
'Hon. Gentleman 'suggested to insert " that,it it
eXpedient, &e. but that, at the expiration of that
period it should cease, and be of effect no longer."
Mr. HOSKIS3ON contended, that the Bill was
one for affording the Bank, time for preparation,
and not with a view to political objects, fled
nutted the necessity of introducing sortie Words to
remove all doubts upon the subject, and thought
the Bank should understand that they were to
renew cash payments at the expiration of the
present restrictions, and mowed to alter the pre.
amble to this effect.

Atter some ctillyers4tion between Mr. liorner,,

- .
Mr. MANNING saw'no Objection as a Member of
the 11,,tik, to the':vyttrtis., "no longer." But as
*Member of that House be did not knoiv -*fiat
I'°' ttical -eircumattinetis might arise to resider the
continuation of ineasure*ecessary.

On the return to the Gallery, Mr. HonNER Mrs
`speaking in support of a clause which he had pro.
posed, that the Bank should rake proper measures
to resume cash paynjenis, hay. time within 'Ole
two years which. in their litulgnient *might 'be safe
'end practicable. •

The CHANcst.i.oa of thC:EXQHMUER opposed
this clause, because it held out a doubt that the
Directors ►►f the Bank had taken no occasions to-
wards resuming cash payments.
Mr. TIERNUY could have no objection to alter
thi4 clan.e, if the Bank Directors would declare,
that they would' take every means in their power
to rebuinc Cash paymetits within two years. Ile
bad the highest respect for the Directors of the
Bank indivjcictally ; but taken collectively, he
was afraid that the lust of gain had taken posses
sion of they►i.
-Sir/ HORN e said, that what he had heard only
caused law to revert to his original opinion, that
nothing would be done by the Bank unless by the
foite of the enacting language'in the Bdl.

Beftire the Gallery was re-opened, Mr. UARING
had been speaking for come minutes, as we un-
drrstood, agaiost the general wording of the Bill.
fle propoied some words to be added to the pre-
ro make it state, that in order to afford
tiine to the Bank to make such preparations as
were necessary to resitrue the payineuts, the Pe-
niod of two years should be granted, &e. This
was agreed to.
,Mr.IIOIINSIt said, the observations of the Floe.
Gentleman (Mr. Baring) were the strongest argu-
ments that could be urged against the measure
altogether. .

"gr. THIMNTON argued 'briefly on the wish of
the Bank Directors being to re,tore the circulat-
ing medium, as soon as it could possibly be done
with safety and diva.

The Bill then pasted through the Committee.
Ott the motion of Lord CAtiII.BREAGH, the Order
of the Day, for the second reading of the Illicit 13111
