The first vote was - that a sum not exceeding 132,0001. be
granted for the purpose of purchasing meal, potatoes, &c., for
those distr;c's in Ireland afflicted by the potato blight.
Mr. WILIIAMS protested against the justice of the vote.
He conter/ied that the landlords of Ireland should be com-
pelled tc, feed their own poor. The land of that country was
quite fArtile enough to support its people, if it were properly
cultivated If this vote were granted, it would be a grievous
injo,stice to the poor people of this country. There was no secs- '
ry..y for the repayment of this mone) by the peril le of Ireland. He
(.ustinctly asked the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the
eommenceme, t of this session, whether any more money than
Rhe sum then granted (.51,000'.) would be required, and he as
distinctly told him that it would not.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as
there would be a lull discussion as to na •3ur
Ire-
land at twelse o'clock on Monday neZatweteanffe7:eingw d
propose a fur, her grant ; he therefore hoped that all discus-
1400 at present might be pooponed unt ,1 that period.
The Earl of LINCOLN said that he was quite willing
to justify the conduct of the late Government on this su' jeet,
but it it Wa4 agr ?cab!, to the House he Mould abstain trout
saying anything until 310 day.—( Hear, hear.)
The vote was then agreed to.
The sum of 30,000,. was then voted for the relief of the
sufferers from the late fire at NewiOun..lar.d.
• 2(090/. having been proposed for the relief of the sufferers
front, the recent ,aiamity at Quebec,
11r. HUME said that in his opinion the vote was too small,
The vote was agreed to.
20,0001. was then proposed for enlarging and improving
Buckingham Palace, to which
BAINE objeHe did not see the necessity of the
change, and the slim posed was too great.
. The CHANCELLORP of the EXCHEQUER explained
'the grounds on which thresum. was asked. Her Majesty had
been subjected to very
nt inconvenience from the present
want of proper accornodgatioa
bthe palace, and the same in-
convenience had been felt at
wished the House to bear 7* her predecessor. He
mind that this was
the first sum ever asked by her illsty for any improve-
ments since her acce-sion tpornivheem,n,s Throne.—( Hear, hear. )
The total expense of the im
at thep
palace vrouhl
amount to 150,000/, but the suns asked for at
ru pra4Pnt was only
20,000/., leaving 130,00(1/. to be tiovided in years.
Mr. PROT HE ROE said that the pre,ent building was not
at all befitttng the dignity of the British Sovereign, and he
thought that the better plan to accommodate her majesty
would be by assigning part of St. James's Palk to her eiLlu
sive use, and that the public would agree to
such au arran,..-e:
moot, if Pall-mall were continued, so as togivea direct cornea-n.
nication between Trafalgar-square. and the Chelsea-road.
Mr. BERNAL said that the present site of the palace was
one of the worst in the metropolis. The neighbourhood would,
however, be improve/4 by judicious arrangements. He denounced
the System of the Government in erecting a building without
taste, and in the most uncles rable situation, and afterwards
coming to the country for con' inual bits and hi!s of money,
until a perfect an mstrosity of art was the result.—( Hear, hear. )
Captain PECH ELL trusted that, as the people of Brighton
surrendered, some years ago. one of the principal entrances to
tha town. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, now that be was
providing comfort and. aerommod-lion for her Majesty, which
be by no- means objected ro, would take steps to place the
inhabitants of Brighton in the same position they were in pre,-
view; to the erect!on• of. the Pavilion.—( Hear, hear. )
Mr. H E-thoagb t, before-they laid out any more money
on Buckingtio.relece, they ought to consittirwhetha the
