BANK CASH PAYMENTS BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
third reading of the Bank Cash Payments Bill.
Mr. ELLICE rose and said, that the Bill then be-
fore the House contained no clause making it com-
pulsory on the Bank to exchange their large Notes
for small ones. He had not had an opportunity of
communicating with the Right Hon. Gentleman on
the subject, before the Order of the Day was read for
the third reading of the Bill ; but he hoped the Right
Honsurable Gentleman would consent to a clause,
by way of rider, which would go to oblige the Bank
to pay their large Notes with small ones, if required
by the holder.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
he had no doubt but there were laws already in exist-
ence which would render" it imperative on the Bank
to exchange their large Notes for small ones, or for
the current coin of the realm. _ . _

Mr. ELLICE said, he understood the Right Hon.'
Gentleman to say, that the laws already compelled
the Bank to pay their large Notes with small Notes,
or with the current coin of the realm. He hoped the
Right Hon. Gentleman had made himself acquainted
with the law on the subject, because the rider which
he proposed to add to the Bill would be unnecessary
if the Right Hun. Gentleman was satisfied that the
Bank was already bound.
Mr. GRENFELL said, the Right Hon. Gentleman
must have been mistaken in supposing any law did
exist which would oblige the Bank to pay their large
Notes with small ones. At present it was optional w►th
the Bank, and that Bill did not take away that option.
Mr. SCARLE'rI' said, there was a law which pre-
vented the Bank from paying in Cash, but there was
no law to compel them to pay in small Notes.
Mr. LITTLETON said, the Country Bankers felt
very uneasy on the subject.
Mr. Alderman HEIGATE thought the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer was mistaken, as to the exist-
ence of any such law.

'

Mr. BANKES was of opinion that any alarm of
the one pound notes being withdrawn from circu-
lation would increase the distresses of the country.
If they were withdrawn, he did not see by what
means they could prevent the gold coin of the court,-
try from being exported. It was also to be observed,
that Bank-notes were much more dangerous in the
hands of robbers than gold, as being so much easier
of detection. He entirely applauded the scheme of
making gold a token rather than a representative of
value. Lugland was the only country that had not
a seignorage upon gold coin. In his opinion, no in-
convenience whatever could arise in making the sove-
reign pass for a guinea instead of twenty shillings.
Mr. BENNETT hailed the measure of suppressing
small notes, as one of the most fortunate for the in-
terests of humanity of any that had been adopted
for many years. The circulation of one pound notes
was nothing more than offering a bounty on crime.
Hundreds and thousands had been brought to de-
struction by it. The lion. Member then went on to
say, that by a departure from the current coin of
the realm in the year 1797, a new species of crime
bad been introduced, to which a punishment was
awarded little short in severity cf that adjudged to
murder, while, at the same time, forgery had in-
creased in proportion to the number of persons that
had fallen victims to the rigour of the law. He next
referred to certain returns, from which it appeared
that, from the year 181'2 to 1816, the number of for-
geries was 154,465, of which £1l:8,000 were notes of
171, and the small tradesmen were, consequently,
for thegreater part, the sufferers. The Hon. Mem-
ber then compared the increase of other crimes with
that of forgery, and proved that the latter shewed
an excess beyond all proportion. Since the year 1797
not less than 1591 convictions had taken place for
forgery. His decided opinion was, that the Bank
were gainers to an enormous amount by the suspen-
sion of cash payments. The People gained nothing
by it ; on the contrary, they were losers in every
respect. lie spoke within bounds when he said, that
the bonuses which the Bank had divided amongst
themselves, since the year 1797, amounted to up-
wards of £25,000,000, as he could distinctly prove.
—(Hear.)—But he now trusted the cruel system
was approaching its demise, and he hoped that the
country would never again be afflicted by such a dite-
ful calamity.
Mr. CRIPPS vindicated the principle upon which
the Bank acted, and contended that, with the ad-
vanced trade of this country, it was quite impossible
that a metallic circulation alone would- be sufficient.
No man of ordinary feelings would- be found to ad-
vocate the system, if all those evils resulted from it
which the Hon. lember (Mr. Bennett) represented.
He denied, however, that the picture clfawn by that
Hon. Member was a correct one. It did not appear
to him that any material advantage would result
from enhancing the price of the sovereign; on the
contrary, he thought it would be attended with pre-
judicial effects.
Mr. PEA RSE maintained that the Bank, is a pith-
lic body, had no interest distinct from that of the
'Public. He then referred to the Report &the Bullion
Committee, applauding the forbearance and iliicretibir.
of the Bank, and said that no set of men mad evince
more zeal in the honourable discharge of their duties.
Mr. GRENFELL observed, that he should always
be prepared to justify the part he had taken in the
Brillion Committee. It had been said that he differed;
from the late Mr. Horner on the subject, but this he
entirely denied.
Mr. MONCK commented, in the course of some
observations, on the over issues of the Bank. In the
year 1797 the issues were £8,000,000, whereas, in
1817, they were £30,000,000, shewing an immode-
rate excess. The misfortunes of the country might
be dated from the period when the Chancellor of the.
Exchequer entered into a sort of partnership with
the Bank. The Honourable Member then adverted
to the fall in the price of gold within the last four
years, and contended that it agreed with the depre-
ciation in all other articles. -The great important
point he considered was, that every man of property
in the country was losing not less than from twenty-
five to thirty per cent. upon it. The famous Ricardo
plan, which some persons so highly extolled, he con-
sidered a mere trick, a cheat, a sort of hocus pants,
to baffle the eyes of the people. He (Mr. Monek)
deprecated any deviation from that currency which
the sanction of ages had countenanced. He then
proceeded to examine the merits of the Ricardo sys-
tem in detail, and said that the advantages of it
would only be experienced by the Bank and foreign
exchanges, while, in a national point of view, it
would produce the very worst consequences, by en-
dangering the public faith.
Mr. C aLCRAFT defended the Bank, and in-
sisted that the wants of the country; and not the cu-
pidity of that Institution, had caused an increased
issue from £8,000,000 to £30,000,000; and he must
further say, that the Restriction Act arose from the
Government, and had not originated in any wish on
the part of the Bank.
Mr. THOMAS WILSON followed on the same
side, and was of opinion that the Bank had acted in
the most fair and honourable manner. When the
country was in danger, an increase of the currency
became inevitably necessary to meet the urgent de-
mands which the provisions for our defence required.
The arrangement between the Government and the
Bank he thought most wise and laudable.
Mr. Alderman REIGATE spoke in support of
the system upon which the Country Banks acted, and
said that they, equally with the Bank of England,
kept their one pound notes in circulation merely to
accommodate the Public. It was a known fact, that
this description of notes was attended with very
great expense to Bankers in general. He then took
a retrospective view of the 'affairs of the Bank from
the year 1797, and dwelt upon the imperative neces-
sity of some notes being devised mcre difficult to be
imitated than those now issued by the Bank. In one
respect the circulation of Bank-notes instead of gold
was attended with advantage. The number of high-
' way robberies and burglaries had diminished in con-
sequence of it.
Mr. RICARDO was as n Ming as any man to bear
testimony to the merits of those who directed the
affairs of the Bank; yet, at the same time, he could
not help stating-his candid Opinion, that the issue of
notes was outsof all ninderation. Ile denied that
the Bank had not the power of restraining an over
issue after the Restriction Act had passed. Not only
had they sent out paper to replace the gold pieta-

the improvement in the currency?
Sir C. LONG stated, that the Commissioners of
Inquiry bad pointed out many improvements in the
Customs, but hod made no recommendation on the
subject alluded to, as he understood the whole was
under the consideration of the Treasury.
Mr. T. WILSON bore testimony to the reductions
that had been made, and the regulations adapted in
the different Boards.
Mr. HUME wished to know if it was true that the
different Officers bad received letters requiring them
to point out any reduction that could be made?
Sir C. LONG could not speak for other Officer;
but he had received one himself. He also begged to
state, that instructions had been sent from Govern.
ment to the different Boards, requiring that no va-
cancy should be filled up without a previous corn-
tnunication to Government.
The House then went into the CommitteeofS I upp T.
ARMY ESTIMATES.
On the first Resolution being put, that the sum of
£14,474 should be granted for the Commander-in-
Chief and his Staff;
Mr. HUME said he should move that a deduction
be made to the amount of £2,000. lie should not
meddle with the Chief Secretary and the Private se.•
cretary cf the Commander-in-Chief; but he thought
the Assistant Military Secretary might well be dis-
pensed with. He could not see what use there could
be for a Chaplain for the Commander-in-Chief. He
should move that a reduction be made of £2,006,
and would leave it to the discretion of the Comma-
der-in-Chief to make the reduction in what proper-
tient he might think best.
; "Lord PALM EItSTON said, that the office of Coro-
mander-in-Chief was one of high responsibility, and
.an adequate salary was necessary, to take away all
temptation to abuse: he, of course, spoke generally,
and upon the abstract principle. No Officer had a
mare laborious duty than the Military Secretary,
whose avocations occupied him eight hours aalay.
The Assistant Secretary had to manage all the details
of the business that came under the cognizance of
the Military Secrergry. 'The office of Chaplain was
given to the Deputy Chaplain-General, and formed
part of his emoluments, and if taken away, the sa-
lary must be madotit in some ether way.
Mr. BERNAL thought a reduction should have
been made; and he could not see how, in the sixth
year of peace, nearly the same expenditure should be
kept up as in time of war.
Lord PALMERSTON said, that the present Esti-
mates did not conclude, as to those of future years.
Government could avail itself of every opportunity
to make reductions, where they were practicable.
Colonel DAVIES contended, that the Estimates of
the present year were above those of 1807. In 1807,
there had been eighteen or nineteen Clerks, and now
the number was not more than twelve, though they
received the same salary as the whole former number.
Mr. SYKES said, that, upon the principle of the
Noble Lord, the higher the responsibility, the grealcf
should be the 'remuneration. The Commanderaa-
Chief, in 1807, when the numher of men under his
command was triple to what it was now, ought to
have had triple the remuneration be had in 1821.
General GASCOYNE observed, that it was a,uni-
versa' principle, that increase of salary should attend
on increased length of service, which had been log
sight of in the observations which had fallen from
Honourable Gentlemen. •
Alderman WOOD should vote for the redactions
Reductions should take place in the case of the higher
as well as the lower Officers.
Lord :TILTON said, that the salaries of former
times constituted no rule for the present, in the al-
tered state of the country. At present the wages ci
labour were much diminished. The increase that
had taken place in a depreciated state of the currency
should be reduced when the currency was brought
to a sounder state.
Mr. A BE ItCRONI IllE thought that all the salaries
should he reviewed, and a reduction be made ia fat
portion to the improvement in the currency.
Mr. MONCK said, that the national credit could
not be kept up without a diminution of the enonnos
expenditure of the country.
Sir 11. I'ARNELL stated, that the expense in the
Commander-in-Chief's Staff, was now £650 toe
than it bad been in 1807, in the midst of the sir.
