HOUSE OF LORDS, NOVEMBER 2S.
Vie Loan Bill, the Melt, &c. Duties Bill, the Local Tokens
13111, and the Accountant-General's sat, were reads third time
and passed.
The Annual Indemnity Bill was read a second time and com-
rnitted for to-morrow ; after an abs rvation from the Duke of
Nok rot%) that he did not observe any thing in the Bill trench-
ing upon the Act of tau Session, relative to a numerous clam of
his Maj. sty's Subjects.
I ord R hDESDALE stated, that he had made conelderible
progress iu a 11111 fur amending his Act of last Seaton, relative
t insolvent Debtors, and that he should be enabled to prism it
to the House on Monday.
On the secolid reading of the Loan Interest Bill,
The Duke of NORFOLK observed, that he un-
derstood this Bill proceeded upon the same plan'tlteat
-was ad. pted last Session, that of providing for the
interest of the whole LI-an out of the Sinking Fubd.
That fund had been established by the late Mr. Pitt,
for the purpose orkeeping up the credit of the cowl:.
tfy, of *thigh it might he justly called the sheet an
; and he thought it better to in-pose fresh taxes,
however hurdensome,to provide for the interest of a
loan, than to risk injuring the credit of the country ,
by trenching upon the principle of the Sinking Fund.
He was .aware, at the same time, that the Noble
Lt rd at the bead of the, financial department felt
eqtially with himself the importa.tce of the Sinking
• •.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that both
sides were agreed as to the imp3rtanro of the'Sinic-,
ing Fond—the only.difference of opinion was as to
the apvlication. of the. principle. Mi. Pitt, who had
so wisely established the Fund, had found it expe...
dient repeatedly to vary the application of the prin-
ciple. in appropriating a portion of the Sinking
road to the payment. of the interest of the present
Loan, according to the plan adopted by .the Legis-
lature last Session, for a new application of the prin-
ciple of the Sinking. Fund, he was . satisfied, as he
then successfully contensded,-that Ito injury whatever
could result to the credit of the country; and the best
practical proof to the contrary s as, that the present
Loan bad been contracted for at a lower rate of in-
terest,, not only than that of last year, but than that
ot the preceding year before the adoption of this
Plan. 'i'ne great advantage also of providing in this
manner for the interest of the Loan was, that no ad-
dition whatever was made to the burdens of the public.
The Duke of NORFOLK observed upon the ex-
pediency of borrowing in the Five per Cents. in pre-
.feretice to the Three per Cents. ; as in thatcase the
capital to be paid off at par was less than in the three
per cents.; in the fives there could only be a rise in
the pioportion of twenty upon eighty, whilst in tale'
threes the rise might be forty upon sixty.
The Bill was read a second time, and committed
for to-morrow.—Adjourned till to-morrow (this day).
