Ines.j=eeliMilidebinliraimeat.- They bad last 'year 4 ha-
lapel of the pdblk mow la their heads of near
fear minions, it was as les than 3,900.0001. cor that z
. , they had, by their discounts, as much pa dry
private Mak. If the Exchequer Bills to Ott t of
1.400.11001. which formed a part of that 01-,
were deducted from it, there would be a ' of
2.500.000/4 which, at three per cent. per atiaille,Wenll
gives profit of 75.0001. He would state, without fear
of contradiction, that all the services rendered by the
Rank of Ragland would be performed by a private bank
for the mere use of such a balance lying In their bawls ;
if the wisdom of Government allowed soother Ban kigg
Corporation.. they need be at no loss by the management
of the public money. A private bank, he was well con-
vinced. would do for ten thousand pounds what the Bank
of England d'd fur a sum of between four and five bun-
drol thousand pounds.
Sir R. WILSON said, that while on that subject, he
would put to the Noble Marquess (Londonderry) a q•le.-
tion on a subject which was conn .cted with it, so.l
which, in his opinion, was entitled to an answer. The
question which he wished to pot, was, whether within a
few days past, any advice, reached his Majesty's tl.-
vernment, by which they would be enabled to entertain
any opinion on a subject to which strong allusion was
made in his Male- t. s Speech from the Throne, on the
opening of tie Session of Parliament. He sneak the
continuance of peace between Rossi& and Turkey.
The Marquess of LONDONDERRY observetf that it
was unwise in Honourable Members to ask each tiara.
tioas. which were calculated to excite elem. To ob-
viate the effect of the question put to him, he was very
happy, and bad the satisfaction to say, that there was no
room for alarm.
Sir R. WILSON said he asked the gentian because
he was the trustee of a considerable sum in the stock in
question. He had no wish to create any alarm.
Mr. ELLICE trusted time would be gives for the
circulation of the Bill through the conntry, as many
leol diScalties, might otherwise arise as to its coo-
'traction.
An fox. Mamma. whose name we could not learn,
expressed a hope that at all events the Bill so Id be
printed by Wedoeeday.
Mr. HUME thought some notice ought to he taken of
the obeervatioes of his H.!aourable Friend (Mr. then-
fell). The price paid by the public for the servie,•s
of the Bank appeared to be very unreasonable, espe-
daily when it was considered that the Bank of Ireland
performed the sertices required by them without soy
remuneration.
The Petition was thee ordered to be printed.
POOR WWII.
MG itCARLETT slid that it was his intention at a
future day. of which be would give notice, to bring in
4 Bill on the subject of the Poor Laws; but he would
sot hold himself pledged to prosecute it any farther, if
141 meat carried into effect their proposed plea of
giviag a loan of four millione to parishes. if there aas
still a disposition with Government to advance that sum.
it would reader Iris plan nugatory.
The Marquess of LONDONDERRY made some ilit-
iNVltiollS, the tendency of which we could Dot catch.
Me. SCARLETT said that the attempt of tioteir-
moat to give say of the public money in the way pro-
posed, wadi in itself be a measure of dangerous tett-
dency. ~ ~
