If Gentlemen received Tokens in rent, what was to
prevent them from paying them to their tradesmen?
He thought it was incumbent on Government to be
at the expense of the transmission. It was the duty
of Government to furnish every part of the country
with currency for its ordinary exchanges. The whole
expense of the last exchange of the new for the old
silver for the whole country, did not exceed -4ths
per cent. He believed that if Government did not
adopt some means of a similar kind oa the present
occasion, the ultimate effect would be to throw the
whole of the Tokens on the hands of the country
bankers. The country bankers lent themselves gra-
tuitously to Government, when the °ideas exchan-
ged for new silver.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
he had a grateful sense of the assistance received from
the Country Bankers. The object of the present Bill
would be to save the Country Banks from a similar
degree of trouble. He believed that silver had not
lately risen—on the contrary, both gold and silver
had lately taken a turn. The Bill would not make
• imperative on receivers of taxes, or any other per-
son, to receive the tokens—it only suspended the
penalties for receiving them in certain cases. The
tokens received in taxes would be remitted directly to
London.—Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
The North American Trade Bill was brought in, read a first,
and ordered tote nada second time to-morrow.—Adjourned.

The Funds continue to fall, immense sums of stock being

of the Capital of the Country, are operating very forcibly upon
Alas Stock Market, which has been gradually felt ever since Con.
