Mr. W. DOUGLAS spoke at some length nn the
great distress which prevailed in Newtorndlard, and
on the veil us modes in which it might be attempted
to afford the sufferers relief. The case was one which
in his opinion, called upon Government to take•iin-
mediate steps to supply a remedy, or at least to di-
minish the calamity.
Mr. CANNING, though much against bounties
on exportation and drawbacks being systematically
granted—though such. measures be generally consi-
dered to be 'inexpedient and inefficient, yet in the
present instance he thought the Report which had
been made by the Committee might furnish some
grounds for deviating from the established policy of
the Government. It might be wise to grant some tem-
porary aid, tb enable the Merchants and the people
to get over the dangers which menaced them now.
He was of opinion that a case had been made out
which called for a Special Committee.
Mr. NEWMAN said, if the distress in Ireland
was great, the sufferers looked forward to the corning
