Lord Monteagle, to relieve his management from some
odium, last nignt moved for an ae.count of Exchequer •bills
purchased by Savings' Banks money.

In reply to the Earl of Minto, the Earl of Aberdeen stated
that a clause was to be introduced into the Prize Act to dis-
tribute the proceeds of pirate and slave vessels.
The Earl of Radnor, in moving for the return of corn al-
lowed to be imported at a low duty, in 1826, called the atten-
tion of their Lordships to the present alarming distress of the
people. The poor of Sheffield had increased, to quote one in-
stance, from 261 in 1837, to 600 in the present year, besides
1,000 able bodied men receiving out-door relief. The weekly
payments to the casual poor had increased from 715/. in 1837,
to 15,0001. at present.
The Duke of Wellington admitted the distress, but found no
remedy for it.
Lord Kinnaird expressed his regret that the Government
would do nothing, and quoted a case of a man who had dismissed
500 out of I,oooworkmen, and who said he could not long keep
the remainder.

Lord Kinuaird moved for the instructions given to the Com-
missioners sent to Burnley and I'aisley, and copies of reports,
but withdrew his motion.

Several Bills were forwarded, amongst others, the Bill for
keeping out sugar was read a second time without comment.
In reply to Lord Howden, the Earl of Aberdeen admitted
that Syria was in a disturbed state, though not in so bad a con-
dition as when it was invaded by the Egyptians, English, and
Turks. Their Lordships acijcurned at an early hour.
In the Commons Mr. O'Connell's Committee to inquire into
the Belfast compromise was nominated. The motion gave rise
to some fencing between the ex and the present representatives
of Oxford University. Sir R. Inglis again expressed his
regret at the conduct of Sir R. Peel, and the latter begged
rather haughtily to be allowed to vote without rendering an
account to his Hon. Friend.

Sir R. Inglis again reiterated, in answer to Mr. Hawes,
that it is his intention to bring forward the question of Church
Extension this Session.

On the motion of Mr. W. 0. Stanley a Committee was
ordered to be appointed to inquire into doings at Southampton.
Sir John Easthope moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
abolish Church-rates. Sir R. Inglis opposed the motion,
which was coldly received by the House, and, after a short
debate, was lost by 162 to 82. There is no hope, therefore,
that the Dissenters oiil escape the impost this year.
Captain Peehell's motion for a return of the slave vessels
brought before the Mixed Court for adjudication was agreed to.
Mr. Ferrand's motion for a Committee, an address, and a
vote of money to relieve the distress of the people, was rejected
by a very large majority. It was only useful by eliciting a good
speech from Mr. Villiers, and a good speech from Mr. Cobden,
with reference to the present condition of the people. Only
six persons supported the Hon. Member.
The Report on the Customs Acts—the Tariff—was brought
up and agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in.
The House divided on the question of going into a Committee
on the Dean Forest Ecclesiastical Districts ( Advance of
Money) Bill, but the motion was carried by 101 to 13 and the
money voted.
The House adjourned at Twelve o'Clock.
