THE QUEEN.
House Of Lords, June IL.

The earl OF Liverpool reminded their lord
ships of the order which had been made on
Thursday last, that the secret committee
should not meet until tomorrow. he had
made the motion for that order, not on any
specj6c ground which could induce him to
think it necessary, but upon hopes which
appeared to be entertained by their lord
ships. Since that period communications
and explanations had taken place on the sub
iect. He was not prepared to say what
might be the result of these communications
and explanations, but the state OF the busI-
ness was certainly such as 10 make further
adjournment of the meeting of the commit
tee desirable. He therefore intended to
propose that the day OF meeting should be
fixed for Saturday next. He concluded by
moving that the meeting OF the secret COM
mittee be postponed to Saturday next.

London, July Ia.
In the House of Commons, last night, MIR.
GreneI brought forward the subject OF the
public balances in the hands OF the Bank
He stated what he had to say when the
Chancellor OF the Exchequer was not in the
House, and of course no regular answer
could be gwen. is, however, satisfactory
10 learn, even from what fell from MN, that
the attention of ministers had been laudably
directed TO the public balances lett with the
Bank and, hat they have exerted them
selves succe fully to make the most econo-
mical arrang ment that could be effected,
win be toI, rab bly, clear, when it is seen
that MIR. Grenfell states their amount 10 nave
been reduced from eleven millions and a
hsjfto three millions seven hundred thousand
pounds.
