UNFUNDED DEBT. 
Certain great officers of government are allowed in the inter- 
vals between the parliaments, to borrow for the national wants 
such sums as may be necessary by issuing exchequer bills, navy 
bills, and ordnance debentures. During lord Nortli’s adnrlnistra" 
tion, these used to be issued payable at 12 and even 18 months ; 
of late years, they are payable at much shorter dates, as 90 days. 
These are transferable in the stock market. Every now and then, 
when the quantity issued and thrown into circulation affects the 
price of stocks, the minister is compelled to fund them ; that is, 
to annex the amount to some one or more regular aggregate or 
fund ; and appropriate taxes to pay the interest. Thus the na- 
tional expenditure, and national debt, can never be accurately 
knov/n to the public, until the items of unfiinded debt issued w ith- 
in the year, are known and funded.
