PAVING AND LIGHTING.

Mr. TAYLOR, as a preparatory step to the Mo-
tion of whiCh he had given notice last week, respect-
Methe st.tte of the Pavement and Lighting of the
tropolis, moved for Accounts of the Assessments
made in the united parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn,
and St. George the Martyr, for Paving and Lighting
from Lady-day 1810 to 1814, and for the yearly
Accounts of the Churchwardens of the Parish of St.
Ann's, Limehouse, for Paving and Lighting the
streets, under whatever trust levied in that parish,
during the same period.
The SPEAKER observed, that of course the
Honourable Member had satisfied himself that the
Churchwardens were the proper persons to give the
information.

Mr. TAYLOR stated, that he understood they
were the second trust, and therefore conceived them
the proper persons to procure the information he
wanted. He then moved for similar accounts re.
;petting Whitechapel Htgh.street,Whitechoel Road-
side, and other burets adjoining, Rosemary-Lane,
Osborne-greet, and Mary.labonne. _ _

The Motion was agreed to, and the Papers ordered
tb be laid before the House. .
ITJCS 1$ COURTS.
Sir JJHN NEWPORT called the attention of
illse Henn to the neglect displayed in the non-execu-
*ls of its Orders. On the 23d of November last the
Ming had ordered certain papers to be produced,
• flifirsliting tbe,leas taken by the Registrar of Will
in Ireland.' Ott the 29141 of the same month, a copy
df the Accounts of Fees taken in Chansierriind Rolls
of Court had aho been ordered,- as well as other
papers of that kind, on the Ist day of December,
'rid yet, althuUgh they might have been produced
w.thout any difficulty, and to copy them would not
have takca.more than three or four days, eight or
nine *Ulu bad now elapsed, and they were not yet
in.. .the possession of the House. After expatiating
oil the unwillingness of Government to procure In-
formation. on those subjects, and the delays with
which they nipped his course, he moved that those
Papera should be laid severally before the House
forthwith.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
who spoke very low, was understood to states that
he would not , oppose the introduction of the word
forthwith," as far as tht Papers regarded England,
but that he could not answer for those concerning
helAnd, during the absence of an Honotitable Friend
of his.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT, despairing ofjetting
ai• autwer %% hen Ilk asked a question, adopted the
cif ly. way which rem.,ined, which was to cause the
orders of the Noose tu be enforced forthwith.

The inotiou wectben put, and agreed to.
Mr. C4LCRA FT would ask of the Chancellor
of the EsChequer& without despairing si—getting an
answer, whether., be had Anrnietion to contempla-
timi sespeeting East India-Shipping
The CHAN4,;ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER

replied, that. he bawled totting that *Oct fee=
ward very early.

On the :notion of the CHANCELLOR of the Exam
QUER, the House having resolved itself into a Com-
mittee of the whole House on the
.Bank Restriction,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
stated, that it would not be proper, at so early a pe-
riod, and before every thing had been decisively
settled in Europe, to call upon the Bank.to renew
its payments in specie. Notwithstanding the satis-
factory events of the last year, prudence still re-
quired sorr.e delay before a measure of that impor-
tance should be adopted. When the exchange should
hive completely recovered itself, and the price of
bullion should have returned to its level, then re:-
strictions on payments in cash would become unne-
cessary. At the same time, however, the favour-
able circumstances of the last year, and the happy
conclusion of the war, had already produced an im-
provement in the exchange, and a fall in the price of
bullion, which gave him room to hope, that before
a lonaperiod had elapsed, it would be in the power
of hiCMAjesty's Ministers to remove further restric-
tions, and restore the usual circulation of the coun-
try. ' For the present, he therefore should move for
leave to bring in a Bill for the purpose of continuing
the Bank RestrictiosnAct for a time to be limited.
' Mr. TIERNEY agreed that the Bank could not
be expected immediately .to resume payments in
specie. The point was, to what extent should the
period of the existing restrictions be enlarged ? He
thought it could only be ascertained by a Committee
of Inquiry, but would save further discussion now,
and would urge his arguments when the motion of
which a Noble Friend of his had given notice on the
subject should come forward.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
was happy to find that the Right Hop. Gentleman
waived further discussion, which, in the present stage
of the measure, could not produce any beneficial
effect. Leave was then given to bring in a Bill.
The Bleaching Powder Bill went through a Com-
mittee, and was ordered to be read a third time to-
morrow.—Adjourned.
