BILL FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF

OF DESTITUTE PERSONS IN IRELAND.

This Bill, which will be discussed in the House of
Commons this evening, contains the following clauses,
vie.:—That certain Commissioners shall be appointed
by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to be called Relief
Commissioners, to superintend the execution of the Act;
that Relief Committees, and Finance Committees, shall
also be appointed in the electoral divisions of unions to
be formed for the relief of the poor, and that such com-
mittees shall appoint officers for the execution of their
orders ; that in every union the several relief commit-
tees shall make out lists of persons entitled to relief
under the Act, according to the directions to be issued
by the Relief Commissioners, with an estimate of the
sum which shall appear to them to be required ; that
the Finance Committee shall examine such lists, and shall
report the amount to the Lord-Lieutenant, who- shall,
thereupon, issue a warrant for the amount thereof to
the guardians of the poor, requiring them to
pay the same out of the moneys to be col-
lected under the Poor-law Act ; and further, that
it shall be lawful for the Commissioners of her Majesty's
Treasury to advance from time to time, before the Ist
of October, out of the Consolidated Fund, any sums of
money by way of imprest, to the Relief Commissioners,
for the execution of the Act, to be applied by them by
way of loan on the security of the rates, provided for
the purpose of the Act : all such turns to be repaid to
the Consolidated Fund in such manner as the Treasury
may direct out of the rates to be levied in the union ;
and that on the application of the Relief Commissioners,
the Commissioners of the Treasury may issue from time
to time out of the Consolidated Fund any sums of
money in aid of the rates to be made under the Act, or
of voluntary contributions ; and all moneys so granted
shall be paid over to the finance committee of the union,
to be applied and accounted for by them, in like manner
as the moneys paid pursuant to any warrant as afore-
said. That no person to be appointed under this Act
shall be concerned in applying for his own benefit any
of the provisions to be distributed under the Act ; and
that no warrants, grants, or loans under the Act shall
be made by the Commissioners of the Treasury, in aid
of any rates to be levied under the Act after the Ist of
October, in this year.

Lord Howden left London for Paris on Friday
evening. The object of his Lordship's visit to the French
metropolis is to receive the final assent of the Cabinet of the
Tuileries to the modifications which may be necessary to ter-
minate, satisfactorily to all parties, the hostilities on the
River Plate. Lord Howden's departure for South America,
as British Minister at the Court of Brazil; was deemed a fit-
ting opportunity for the two
.Governments, acting in concert,
to arm him with powers and instructions to bring the quar-
rels of the belligerent republics to a peaceful adjustment.
PRICE OF CORN AT PENRIT H. The Queen's
Speech has had a wonderful effect in Penrith market. Ac-
cording to the Inspectors return it will be seen that wheat
was only Md. short of 41. per qr., but on Tuesday it had a
serious fall, being 3s. or 4s. per bushel lower; other grain
was down in proportion. There was great rejoicing among
the poor folks, the bellman going round the town to publish
, the glad tidings.— Curlizle Journal.
