perhaps, 'the Bill was to he hurried through, to
let tire bank continue the saute advantages they
Henjoyed
an since 1797: _
The CHANCELLOR of tire Excneittle.e-said, that
the Restriction Bill nurst st tad entirely on its own
merits, unconnected with any questiou of advan-
tage to the bank.
Various accounts of bank-notes issued since
Feb. 9. 181 G, were ordered.
Mr. T/RRNEY yet wished to know, vvhether the
Right [lon. Gentleman, thought. 'he could bring
no his Bill ? But suppose Ire passed it, and after-
wards'. a Committee reported aaartst the restac-
, -tions, how would he look then ? As to the noto-
riety, that lay between the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer and the BAolt entirely,' There was a se-
cret dealing in this business. It had been said
that thel3ank were quite anxious to re-open their
payments. This was all very well to keep their
countenances steady. The point was, that the Mi-
Inister said to the Bank, " If you lend me so much
money forso many years, I will take caret hat nobody
.else shall snake you pay them any money." But
that he (Mr. T.) wished, was to have the Bank
'Directors before a Committee of the Muse -of
Commons.. Before a Committee, he thought,
they Would. appear rather different from their ap-
pearance before the Minister. The
,Minister said
tire restrictions had nothing to do with advan-
tages to.the Bank : but if be was not much mis-
taken, he could make out the case. before a Com-
mittee. But under all the circumstances of the
case, were the House to go on with or without
inquiry He hoped the _Minister would change

feel it bi's duty to 'move an adjournment, if the
'business -came on even at' the ht ur of nine.' •

THE RIGHT IloN. THE LORIYMAYOR IN THE CHAIR

. •
It having been .suegeited*that the Laub Mas-oh
would [nes** at a Sprbial Meeting held on Mon-
day, and convened: - (amongst" other. important
matters) to tuttiee the Eistraordinary Resolutions
lately passed at Margate, an uniisually numerous
Tweeting of the Directors and Governors attended
at the Losidon Coffee-house, of one- o'clock. The
Lon() MAYOR was very punctual, and opened the
business with his usual perspicacity. He lament-
ed that any misconception shmild prevail to injure
one of the hest Charities that Englanal had to
boast or, and which could only require to-he more
generally known, to have a large accession of new
subscribers. ' He kne;v very many of . the Court
of,Directors personally, and he could assure the
Meeting, it was not possible for the mad) lgeolent
of a public charity to be confided to men of more
strict honour and integrity. Ile bad received a
letter from the Rev. F. BAYLAY, requesting he
would urge the propriety of appointing a Select
Committee, to inquire into the abuses that he
fancied existed ; it was his duty to lay the Same
before them, and he entertained nu doubt they
woultr adopt a line of conduct suited to the oc.:
••• elision.
Mr. TADDY (one of the Vice-Presidents) assured the Meet-
ing, that the Court of Directors were most alll:riutiS the whole
of their conduct 'should uodergo the stricteSt investigation,
and if the Meeting should think that the management of the
Board could he improved, by appointing a Select Margate
Committee, to inquire intd their mode of directive the Len•
eCI'IIS of this Charity, he fur one should not oppose it.
Several Directors followed (whose names we could not
learn) and all concurred in a wish, that lithe public were Cs-
swished with their conduct, thee crusted au inquirywould be
instit ie ed; they could not, howevZ.r, refrain from observing,that
the Directors had already, upon the receipt of Mr. Malay's first
communication, acted upon it; hut instead of appaitititut a
new Committee. ftora Margate,•took upon themselves to exa.
mine into all the subjects proposed fur reference, they hieing
the only persons authorized by the laws of the Institution fur
such purpose, mid, in consequence, they adopted such awe.-
stores as appeared, ter the best of their judgmeot, proper on
the occasion.. .-
Mr. waist's. (a 'Governor of the Institution) said he should
occupy lie little of the time of the Meeting ae possible, hut
he could not refrain from noticing the letter of. Mr. Bayiay;
it would he obeerved, he made no direct charge against tbr
Directors—he had ioditiged.in inlendoi and surmises, but at
