TELLERS.
Bill, Lord 31.
'l'uthell, 11.

We understand that a deputation, consisting of
Lords Lucan, Doneraile, and Bernard, and Messrs. S. O'Brien,
G. A. Hamilton, Henry Grattan, &c., had an interview with
Lord John Russell, on Wednesday, or the purpose of laying
before his Lordship resolutions adopted at a meeting of Irish
Peers and representatives, with respect to the immediate
measures of relief for Ireland, proposed in his Lordship's
statement on Monday. The purport of the resolutions was
to urge the necessity of promptly extending the Irish com-
missariat. The deputation was most courteously received,
and Lord John Russell, in reply to their resolutions, stated
that it was the intention of the Government, with the least
possible delay, to make arrangements for the increase of
relief committees in such districts as most required addi-
tional aid, and for the formation of committees in distant
districts where none at present existed. His Lordship was
understood to say that the Treasury advances to enable the
committee to supply food to the destitute would be promptly
made, without waiting for the levy of the rate contemplated
for that purpose. The advances are to be made on the se-
curity of the rate.—Chronicle.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—lnformation has
been received by the police of a highway robbery on the
Essex-road, near Romford. It appears that two waggoners
in the employment of a farmer named Park, at Stock, had
been to London with loads of agricultural produce, and were
returning late in the evening, when the hindermost was
pounced upon by two fellows, who gagged him to prevent
his crying out, and then proceeded to rifle his pockets, ex-
pecting, no doubt, to find the proceeds of what they had
been conveying to market, but, fortunately, the amount had
been paid over to a party in town. Aisappointed in their
booty, they robbed him of what little money of his own he
had about him, and then hurried forward to his companion,
whom they also gagged and robbed of his little all, amount-
ing to 103. or l s.; and when the other came up effected,
their escape. Two men known in the neighbourhood aret
in custody of the Essex olice, wh-en the po r telLws
plundered have identified as the parties who committed the
L outrage.
