1M PE hIA L PA KU AMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LonD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at Five o'Clock.

A great number of Bills were brought up from the
Commons, and severally read a first time.
The Earl of GLENGALL moved for a return of a
copy of that part of tie Irish Poor Law Com-
missions, relating to the dismissal of Mr. Armstrong
from his situation of clerk in this office.

THE QUERN'S LETTER.
Lord KINNAIRD rose; pursuant to notice, to put a
question, for putting which. last evening, without notice,
he was called to order .by the Noble Duke opposite (the
Duke of Wellington.) En was rather 'surprised
at receiving that check ; fitr when the Noble Duke
sat upon that (the Opposition) side of the House, he and
the Noble Lords near him were not very scrupulous In
putting questions to his Noble Friend (Viscount Mel-
bourne) on that notice, nor were they very measured in
the expressions of their dissatisfaction, when answers
were not always ready.—(Hear, hear.) How-
ever, as he had been corrected in his error,
he would endeavour to observe more strictly the rules of
'the House, and the more carefully as her Majesty's
present Ministers were not prepared to answer questions
in a hurry.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) His question
was to whom was to be 'entrusted the collection and
appropriation of the funds, which might be collected in
consequence of the Queen's letter.
The Duke of WELLINGTON had to apologise to
the Noble Lord and to the House for requiring this
subject to be brought a second time before them.
He thought he had done only what was usual in calling
the Noble Lord to order for raising- a discussion
on a question of which' he had not given notice.
—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord had said that he (the
Duke of Wellington) and -his present colleagues, when
they sat on the Benches opposite were in the habit of put-
ting questions to the Noble Viscount then at the
head of her Majesty's Government, without giving notice
but he mould appeal to the Noble Viscount himself, if
he had not always supported hint in refusing to give
answers to questions put without notice.—(Hear, hear.)
In fact, he had always used all the influence he possessed
to prevent questions being put in so irregular a manner.
He regretted that he had not been able' to answer the
question of the Noble Lord immediately last evening,
and that none of his Noble Friends who were Members
of the Cabinet was present, and be . certainly-
had to acknowledge that he was not ready
to- give the answer hitnself, but lie had since
inquired and found the money raised in consequence of
her Majesty's Lettet', would be handed over to a Com-
mittee sitting in London since the tear 1825, and called
the " Manufacturing Distress Relief Committee." All
the sums received hitherto, including the contributions
of her Majesty and her servants, had been handed over
to that Committee, which had had, and would have, the
distribution.

The Earl of RADNOR said, their Lordships. would
recollect that on a previous night some discussion arose
about the propriety of giving someA)f the public money
towards the relief of the distress. He (Lord Radnor)
thought such a proceedinr, was most irregular, and in
that opinion he had been confirmed by what full
from the Noble Duke:>(Hekr.) In the course
of that debate his Noble Friend (Lord Monteagle) said
that this was a course often adopted.. He (the Earl of
Radnor) begged leave to move for a return of all aid
given by Government towards the relief of distress, with
or u ithout, a spesitie vote of the House of Communs,.
from the first of January, 1826, to the present time.
also the date at which the relief was given, and whether
Parliament was sitting at the time. Also the names of
the places, with the circumstances rendering it necessary,
and whether the advances were made as a loan or gift.
The Duke of WELLINGTON' said he had no
objection to the production of the returns, if such
existed, hut he had no reason to believe that
any public money had been given for the relief
of the distresses of the people. The remarks he
(the Duke of Wellington) had said in the debate alluded
to by the Noble Earl was, that he objected to the gene-
ral qrineiple.
Lord MONTEAGLE said that this motion had arisen
out of what had fallen from himself and the Noble Duke
on the opposite bench (Richmond.) He (Lord Mont-
eagle) did not say that advances of the public money
were of frequent occurrence, but they had occurrrect
sufficiently often as to have rendered it unfair in him if
be had not mentioned it. There was every year voted a
sum to be placed at the discretion of the Government under
the head of civil contingencies. Now, over the applica-
tion of that money, there was no control by Parliament;
it was left entirely to the Treasury itself. But the
House must recollect, that what was estimate one year,
was matter of account the next,—(Hear, hear.) When
that money was advanced, a gentleman of the name of
Hill was appointed to Report on the subject ; and he
should recommend the Noble Earl to extend his motion,
in order to embrace those Reports.
The Earl of RIPON ;aid he could confirm the state-
ment of the Noble Lord in every respect. With regard
to the Report of Mr. Hill, he toought it would not be ad-
visable to produce them, as several private matters were
mixed up with them.
The return was then ordered.
