House of Commons. the motion of which he had given
notice. for the appointment of a Select Committee to,
inquire into the State of the Trade between Great Sri-
' 14in and the E stindies and China. , The Honourable
Gentleman pietsced his motion with a Speech. showing
weft dud mecum, informaion on this most important,
bls hject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER compli•
abeilitd hig'lly Mr. WHITMORE'S speech. for its infor
mown. talent. and _moderation ; but wished the post-

porement of the appointment of a Committee till De=
Session. when the question is to be fairly entered upon
nod con►idered in all its bearings. The House agreed
with the CHANCELLOR of the Emettautisa. and the
matte' was therefore deferred.

The Act for the future regulation of the Sinking
Fund has been printed. Its objects are tint to provide
that instead of s certain sum of 0.0000015 being an.
nualiy appropriated as a Sinking Fund, and that the
ii,teiest of the Stock purchased by the CuMMininen
should be paid to them, so as gradually to increase the
amount of the Sinking Fund, •uch sum only. should be
appropriated to that Fund as might be actually sus plus
Income, and that the Stock purchased be immediately
cancelled, and no further dividends paid upon it.

Secondly—That the amount of the surplus thus
applicable to. the redemption of Debt be ascertained
quarterly, by an Account being made up at the Trea-
sury on the last day of every quarter, of the amount of
the Income and Expenditure of the United Kingdom
in the four preceding quarters. and that the average of
such sum as might thus be shown to have been sui plus
R-vetkue in those four quarters be applied.to the Sink-
•ing Fund its the nest quarter ; and.
Thirdly—That the Commissioner. should. have the
power of applyirig the sum thus placed at their disposal
to the reduction of Funded or Unfunded Den. or Au.
staid's, as the, may think most advisable.

This is at lag coming to right principle*, and what
we.hise long urged. A Sinking Fund beyond the ac-
tual surplus Revenue was a farce, and a very expensive
one.

The power given to. the Commissioners to. apply
theft Funds to the redonaj.tilo of the Unfunded Deb.,
is else a most wise piovlsion. 11 is a course which,
though it will not cummeely be acted upon. maybe,
aces ionally most beneficially resotted to. At ple,ont,
when Exchequer Bills bear iiyery:loo. premium,. And
the Theo) per Cents. haire nee proportionately advanced,
of cootie k will be proper. to pinch's:it the latter 'c pie
femme to-the fotmer; but a case might occur in which
the Premium of Ezchsquer Bills might f4ll to par, and
Men it would be of infinite advantage to have ti e
riowereof sepporting that part of the Money Mat net;
by purchasing Securities of that nature ; or cir-
cumstances might arise in which it might become
41)f:instant to redeem from the Bank of England a part
of the Exchequer Bills held by that body, which could
be done by the provisions of this Bill. We re.
j ice, therefore, that it contains such poweti, altbqughi
they will not be acted upon generally, and only inthe'
cases which we have supposed.
