The Right Hon. the Home Secretary yesterday trans-
mitted to the Lord Primate, and also to the Archbishop of
York, the Queen's Letter in aid of the subscription for the
distressed population in Ireland and the Highlands of Scot-
land. The fallowing is a copy of the document :
"Queen's Letter to his Grace the Archbishop:of Canterbury
for a collection in aid of tke subscriptions entered into for
the relief of a large portion of the population in Ireland
and in some districts of Scotland.
" Victoria R.,
" Most Reverend Father in God, our right trusty and right
entirely beloved councillor, we greet you well. Whereas a
large portion of ilbe population of Ireland, and in some dis-
tricts of Scotland, is suffering severe distress, owing to the
failure of the ordinary supplies of food; and whereas many
of our subjects have entered into voluntary subscriptions
for their relief, and have at the same time humbly prayed us
to issue our royal letters, directed to the Lord Archbishop of
Canterbury and the Lord Archbishop of York, authorising
them to promote contributions within their respective pro-
vinces for the same benevolent purpose;
" We, taking the premises into our royal consideration, and
being always ready to give the best encouragement and coun-
tenance to such humane and charitable undertakings, are
gracionsl7 pleased to condescend to their request, and we do
hereby direct that these our letters be by you communicated
to tie several suffragan bishops within your province, ex-
pressly requiring them to take care that publication be made
hereof on each Sunday in the present or the ensuing month,
and in such places within the respective dioceses as the said
bishops shall appoint; and that upon this occasion the mi-
nisters in each parish do effectually excite their parishioners
to a liberal contribution, which shall be collected the week
following at their respective d.wellings, by the chuchwardens
and overseers of the poor in each parish ; and the ministers of
the several parishes are to cause the sums so collected to be
paid immediately into the hands of the Bank of England, to
be accounted for by them, and applied to the carrying on and
promoting the above-mentioned good tjesigns.
" And so we bid your very heartily farewell.
" Given at our Court at St. James's, the thirteenth day of
January, 1847, in the tenth year of our reign.
g, By her Majesty 's command,
. GREY.

" To the moat Reverend Father in God, our right trusty
find right entirely beloved councillor, William Lord Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England and Metro•
poUtan."
The letter to the Archbishop of York is an exact transcript
of the above.
The documents will be in the hands of the Queen's printer
this day, but no issue will be made before Monday next.

are men with large families, and would have been prevented,
by the unpleasantness of having their small subscriptions'
contrasted with the larger ones of their more fortunate
brethren, from contributing at all, but will now give with
alacrity their aid to this benevolent undertacing. We sin-
cerely congratulate the Society of Commercial Travellers on
the excellent spirit they have displayed on this occasion, and
hope the example they have thus set will be followed by
many other associated bodies in the three kingdoms.—Not-

House of Lords—to separate the two systems of bankruptcy
and insclpeney, and to abolish arrest in execution. Imprz-
