LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

that much of these considerations would depend upon •
What was the real object of the inquiry. It was not,.,
he conceived, from any doubt of the solidi:y of thee
Bank,- or of any doubt ht its ability to answer the
demands upon them. In the present instance, N( I,le .
Lordi -seemed cordially to concur. in opinion, that
they should go into the inquiry, freeing thems:elves
as fir as possible from any previous conclusions they
might have come to on the subject.
After some short farther conversation betWEen the
Earls of LIVERPOOL and LAUDERDALE, with respect
to the most appropriate diction, iE was agteed to,
slightly alter a very few words, and to omit the word
" thereon." So amended, the question wits Fut, and.
the Noble-Minister's proposition agreed to..
The Noble Earl, LIVERPOOL; then followed it
up by another, viz.—" That the said Committee be
chosen by ballot on Thursday- next, at five o'clock,"
which was ordered Accordingly.
•

the last year stated, that
.unforeseen circemstances, .
had prevented the resumption of cash-paymentsr:
New, it turned oot that mote unforeseen circurnstan‘ •
ces had occurred dining the last twelve mouths. On
the importance of the question he need not trouble;
the House. He had lately witnessed petitions which; ...
seemed to intimate that the question had assumed :
as much of a popular character as that of Annual,
Parliaments and Universal Suffrae, and he strongly
suspected those petitions to have been attained in the
same circular mode as those for Annunl Parliaments..
It was the general sense that an enquiry was neces-
; sary ; and it now remained to be shewn why such
an inquiry should not take place. Was it to be be-
cause lie was the mover of it; he was persuaded that
no Gentleman could vote for the Chancellor of the.
Exchequer, unless it could be shown that his propo-
sition went one step beyond, and embraced some point
which his (Mr.' Tierney's) did not reach. For he
could not believe that so independent a body as the
House now contained would range itself on either
side without being guided by the merits of the mc.-
tion. With respect to its first part, he did not think
that any thing new could be produced. He fraaki
avowed that the principle of the Bullion Committee, •
as brought to a point with the able assistance of his
lamented Friend, Mi. Horner, constituted his creed ;
a creed which nothing that had since occurred had
been able to shake. In conversing with many per.
sons upon the subject, he had had the satisfaction to
fled how rapid had been the progress of truth from
day to day. For all professed that the principle was
right, though some maintained that the resumption
of cash-payments might still be injudicious. The
question was now very different ftom what it once
had been. The danger to the Bank, the .difficulties
created by the price of gold, all these considerations
were now set aside. The true question was, whether
the circulation of the country should be restored, and
kept within.the bounds of its natural state? This
was therefore no more an abstract question, and
yet it was on this that an alarm had been spread
throughout tile country and its commercial depart-
, meets.. Gentlemen had been taught to believe that
the safety of the Empire depended on no diminution
of the circulating medium taking I lace. This was
a doctrine which he heard without surprise. It was
what he !tad predicted. 'The habits of the patient
had grown so vitiated by a long course of indul-
gence, that he could not bear to return to a whole-
some regimeni—(Hear, hear.) But the alarm to
which he had alluded could not have been supported
for a moment unless it had derived sonic sanction
from the authority of persons high in the estimation
of the country. He should act wrong by the House
and the Nation if he did not cal) things by their right
names. There was a strong money party in the
country, whose object was to poison the public mind
on this sdbjekt, and to control the House and the
illablsiteelf. This party was composed of different
descriptions of persons. It contained men .of the
highest integrity and. affluence, whose name would
pass current from one encl of the earth to the other,
and who lent themselveslo the object most conscien-
tiously thinking that they did right. But the rest
were of a different character. In fact he considered
himself this night at war with all the gamblers and
speculators in the stocks—(Repeated chew lag.) Every
word he uttered was wormwood to them:They would
naturally misrepresent his intentions and attempt to
throw discredit on all he did. But if his living was
no offence, he was conscious of committing no other.
He was discharging his duty to his country—(Loud
cheers.) Those men wefe persons who had over-
traded—(Loud cheers)—who, without capital, had
embarked in extensive speculations—they were mere
gamblers—(Repeated cheers)—and he asked the
House whether it was astonishing that they should
oppose with all their might the resto: ashen of Cash
Payments?—(hear, hear, hear.) They knew that
the hour of their extinction was come' the moment
the right currency of the land was restored—(Hear,
hear, )year.) But, unfortunately, that hour had been
so long postponed, that they had prevailed en the
respectable inuividuals whom he. had first mentioned
to put their names to Petitions, and to come to the
House, (as an Englishman he was ashamed to speak
it,) to request that England should not have the same
circulation as other countries (Repeated cheers.) The
Chancellor of the Exchequer, to whom he meant no
incivility in what he was about to. state, had, by the
course which he had pursued, if not made himself
an instrument is their hands, at least suffered him-
self to be cowed by their threats and machinations.
Ile and his Noble Colleague (Lord Liverpool) had
held conferences with those persons. He had made
.his whole system to rest on paper. What

INSOLVENT Diticron's ACT.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition
A-behalf of the Common Council of the City of
London, against the renewal of the above Act (:,imi- ,
lar to that presented, to the House of Commons); and
strongly expressive of the Petitioners' opinion as to
the injustice and injurious tendency of its operation:
The LORD CHANCELLOR took the opportu
nity to express his opinion, that the subject to which
the Petition referred was worthy of the serious attenr
tion of Parliament ; -and he gave notice, that on an
early day he meant to move. for laying before the
House some important information upon the subject.
This would be for an account of the number and
naives of those individuals who were delivered under
the present Insolvent Act ; for the amount of their
respective debts ; and of the sums or portions thereof
which were actually paid by them.
The Petition was then laid upon the table; and
the House adjourned till to-morrow.

rounding Comities 9,. Ina. per Chaidron, while other maritime
Counties had paid only about 6s. 6d. per Chaldron ; and it
prayed the House to be relieved from such, disproportionate
taxation. .
Sir ROBERT WIJ,SON supported the prayer of the Peti-
tion, which very properly asked relief from heavy burdens, un-
equally imposed.
See M. W. RII)LEY merely begged to guard himself against
being misunderetood. The Northern Counties would have no'
objection to the Duties being taken off, but they, evouldlaiili
object to their being taken off with the view of being removed'
to other shoulders—(Hear, keer).—Laid upon the table. • -
Mr. HARVEY presented a Petition from Henry Hunteols:
serving, that he forwarded it in the performance of his duty as
a Member, and begging that he might not be therefore idend-
lied with the principles which Mr. Bent was tumult tertnaiu-'
tan. It prayed that the Westminster • Hustings Bill night not
pass into a law, &c.
.Mr. BENNET disclaimed what seemed to have been mist
understood by the Petitioner; he had not charged Mr. Hunt
With being the cause of the disgraceful riots before the litistinp
at'the last Election.—Laid upon the table.
The Southwark Paving Bill was read a second time, and or-
dered to be committed.
Mr. W. SMITH presented a Petition from the ..klerwl,:h
Grand Jury, praying that the House would adopt memoirs to
promote a more speedy Jail. Delivery ; obs:•rving, that in one
instance, a young man had been imprisoned (:nu 'curs, and thee
'acquitted as wholly innocent. This, under any circumstances,
would be bad, limit intolerable; but it was the more especially
lit a country where the Constitution said there must be a speedy
administration of Justiie. Norwich was thus in the situation
of the Northern Counties, complained of by Mr. INI. A. Tay 4u;
and he hoped the propriety of affording remedy would be .s..:en.

One Petitioner, Mr. Cropper, appended to his name thts qua-
lification, that he wished the postpt.nensent of Cash Payment,
and he did not agree in the advantage of their ever being re-
sumed.!—(Hear, and a laugh). 1
Mr. TIERNEY said this Petitioner had the merit of ha. I
neatly speaking out his opinion; he wished others would follow
the example--(Hear, hear).
General GASCOIGNE wished to know when the new Bank
Notes, upon an improved construction, would be ready to sup-
ply the place of the forgeries—(el laugh!. . I
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be could
