BANK.

Mr: Homiti gave notice of a motion fOr iVed,
nesday, for a Committee-to inquire into the Bank
Restrictions, arol into the best modes by which
they could be terminated.
Mr. Hoer= moved for vt:eekly accounts of the

Mr. thigtivELL Wi3lted to know whether the
Chancellor of the Exchequer would defer his mu-
lion, which stood for Thursday, on the Bank Ro•
striction Bill ?

The CHANCELLOR Of die EXCHEQUER could HOC
see the necessity of post posting the progress of
the Bill. The general teasonings for or uguinst
tbe 818 were already in possession of the House
iatul the Country. Tut: Bill stood upon its own
grounds.

Mr. Hoax:tit could see no difficulty in the post•
pouetnent, as the
.existing Bill world not expire
befor,e. July. The Bill rts originally brought hi
ut •a very late hour of the night ; and when he
attended afterwards in his place, he found that the
second rending was over before five o'clock in the
There had; therefore, been no op-
portunity of discussion ; and now the House was
lull of business till Monday. The change of cir-
cumstances occasioned the' present Bill to be con-
sidered as au entirely new aniaime. The case on
which restrictions were now called for stood on
very different growids froni those in former in-,
stances.. Under these novel circumktanecs, it was
a matter of great illipintance to inquire into the
grounds and 'principles of the proposed runewal
of t lit restrict ions.

Mr. FRANK LA-ND LEWIS recommended the post-
onement of the Bill, till inquiry was nude into
the propriety of continuing or dlicontinning the
rictior.s:

The CHANctLtnn of the Excutictutta was not
prepared at that time to cuter fully into a parti-
cular discussion im this subject. The general
pinions on both sides of the question were ob-
vious to all, and had becu frequently urged. Wile-
tiler the Restriction Act were emnintied or not,
the question stood on the grounds and reasons of
the particular proposition. The grounds of the
till were in fact founded on the notoriety of the
ciftumstances.
Nr. J. P. GRANT remarked on the reason as-
signed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that
the grounds were notorious ; but his own argn-
silents showed that the 13111 'ought not to be press-
d. What were the eircutititanees of notoriety ?
The. Bill passed when gold was very high. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer had also said, that,
when we ceasetfto pay for the importation of fo-
reign grain, the measure might he unnecessary.,
It was notorious that those circumstances were
stow changed. It ought to lie with the Right
floe!. Gentleman to show what the notorious cir-
cumstances really Were which required the-conti.
Dttance of the restrictions. He and an llottintr-
able Friend of his heard the resolution, on which
thel`Bill was founded, read at one in the morning.
Shied-that, the Bill had•been.vead at four o'clock
in the afternoon ; St) that there bad been no op-
portunity of discussing the -question. He holiedi
the Chancellor of the Exchequer would yield, as
the Agricultural Committee was to be gone into,
And there was so much other business before the
I.lo,use, so that the Right Hon. Gentleman might
not be able to profit of his haste.
Mr. BROUGHAM said) there was a similar tiff.-
ferenee between the restrictions in war and peace,
as there wt 4 between the Property" Tax in war
tu' peace.' in„what state would the Honse be
for the debate on Monday, when the subject
!night not come forward before one in the Morn-f,
on account of Mr. Western's motion
,tri t
er important motion stood for Tneday, which
night will put off the Bill. But 'the only induce-
tent he could find for the Chancellor at the Ex-
, ~f
licquer's passing tne Dill seemed ,to he in whist
e had undetstootl, that the night Ilon. Gentle-

lan was making some fresh bargain with the
Ank for 10 or 1:e,000,0001. out of the unkmown
