PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 6.

BANK FURTHER RESTRICTION BILL.

Earl GREY took the opportunity to observe,
that notwithstanding all he had heard from the No-
ble Lords opposite, he still retained his opinions as
to the measure and the course adopted, on the
grounds which he and a Noble Friend had recently
stated. Ile must regard it as a violation of all those
principles, which were professed to be acted upon,
on this important subject, and a departure from that
line of conduct upon which Ministers so far had
gained the confidence of the public. Ile was aware
that he stood nearly single in these sentiments, and,
as he despaired of being able to persuade any one
exactly to coincide with him, he would at least have
the satisfaction of discharging his public duty by so-
lemnly protesting against the measure.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL contended, that the
proposed measure was founded upon all those prin-
ciples upon which the financial system of the country
had been long conducted. He must thus enter his
protest against the declarations made by the Noble
Earl; and, whenever the opportunity should arrive
he would be prepared to prove that the course adopt-
ed was net in any degree at variance with those prin-
ciples. For obvious reasons, he could not now enter
into any detailed discussion ; but the opportu-
nity would arrive. With respect to what passed in
1797, the reference which had been made to it was
correct ; but if taken another way, it would even go
farther in justification of the present measures nd
bethought it clearly appeared, even from what pas-
sed in discussion, mat the course adopted by the
Government was right. in reaped to his reference

On the question for the second reading of Thomas's Divorce
Bill, Counsel and evidence were heard at some length, after
which the Dill was read the second time and ordered to b:
committed.

The 'Like of GRAFTON presented a Petition from the town
' of Ipswich, praying for a revision of the Criminal Code.
Viscount SID MOUTH presented a Petition from the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of Dublin,
in Common Council assembled, against the Claims of the Roman
Catholics of Ireland, which, with the foregoing Petition, was or-
dered to lie on the table.

The Mineral Alkalies Duty, the Quarter Sessions Division,
and one or two other Bills, went through Committees of the
whole House, and were reported.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that it was his inten-
tion on a future day to move an Address for information re.
speeting any communications which may have passed between
the Prince itegent's Government and the United States of Ame-
rica, relative to a matter of great importance to British interests
—he meant the cession of the Ploridas by Spain to the United
States. He was far front attributing any remissness to his I%la-
jesty's Ministers on this point ; but thought it his duty to give
notice of a motion after the recess, if no communication should
be mad:.

much ground for consolation.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE briefly observeA,
th-tt a time would come when he could expla;n the
grounds upon which he was induced, in a great t.-
gree, to dicent from the proposition bofore die
House. All he wished at present was not to in-
cluded as one of those who viewed the mcasure in
the same view as his Noble Friend did.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN, in consequence of
what had fallen from his Noble Friend (Lord Grey),
wished to state that he had not, because it svas not
in his power so to do, pledged the Cemilittee to
any particular measure. All that he meant to say,
was, that, there did exist in the Committee, a dispo-
sition to recommend the application of means which
appeared calculated to facilitate a return -to tits an-
cient standard of value.

The Bank Further Restriction Bill was brought up from the
Commons by Mr. Prat and others, as were two local Bills, by
Sir M. Forces and Mr. Paz wit.

The Earl of HARROWBY, previous to his motion
for the first reading of this Bill, moved, in pursuance
of yesterday's notice, that the. Standing Orders, Nos.
106 and 154, be taken into consideration, with a view
to their temporary suspension, which being done, and
orders for their suspension made, as far as related to
the Bill in question, the Noble Earl stated, in brief
and general terms, the nature and object of the Bill
which had been just sent up from the Commons for
their Lordships' concurrence. This measure, he ex•
plained, was calculated upon the ground of, instead
of retarding, in effect of its accelerating the ulterior
general measure which they all wished for, namely,
the return to Cash Payments. His Lordship, after
adverting to the late enactments with respect to pay-
ments at the Bank, referred to the injurious tendency
of that Corporation's continuing its present course of
Cash Payments, particularly with respect to gold.
'The Committee were of opinion that the Bank should
not be suffered in a case of such great importance,
to incur :he least possible danger. The general re-
striction in 1797 was imposed under the pressure of
necessity. It was a case of vital importance. At that
time they paid all their notes in cash, and the Bank
was in danger of being utterly drained. At present,
though the Bank was in possession of extensive trea-
sure, yet, under the circumstances, if it continued in
its present course of Cash Payments, the conse-
quences may tend to endanger their eventual ability
of renewing Cash Rayments generally, so soon as
otherwise may be expected. By the interval of delay,
such as it was, they may be enabled to collect as
much treasure as they had recently paid away, and
be the better qualified, and at an earlier period, to
resume their payments generally in the way so much
desired. The Orders being suspended as far as re-
lated to the Bill, his Lordship moved that it be read
the first time.

The motion for suspending the Standing:Orders
being put and carried, the Bill was read a second
and third time.

On the motion of Lord LIVERPOOL, a .I:lessage
was sent to the Commons, to inform that House that
their Lordships bad agreed to the Bill.
An Adjournment during pleasure then took place; and,
shortly before seven o'clock, the house resumed, and in the
usual form, the Royal Assent was declared by Commissicn to
the Bank Furth ►testriction Bill, the Windsot Establishment
Bill, the Carlisle Canal, the Cheltenham Gas Light Bill, and
to thirteen others of a private or local description.
The Lords Commissioners were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the
Earl of LIVERPOOL, and the Earl of 41AFTESBURY.

The remaining Bills before the. House were then respectively
forwarded; amotr, which, the Gas Light and Coke Company
Bill was read the third time, and passed.
A Private Bill was brought up front the Commons by Mr.
FAZ yr, and read the first time.—Adjourned till to-morrow.
