In reply to a question from Earl FITZWILLI

Lord WHARNCLIFFE stated that .£75.000 had been col-
lected in consequence of the Queen's letter, to %•hich was
added 1.:25,000 collected by public subscriptions. This
money was placed in the hands of the committee, who had
the distribution of the money accruing from a royal letter
some 15 years ago, and they had distributed it most exten-
sively over those parts of the country in which distress was
most prevalent.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY

The Forged Exchequer Bills Bill was read a second time

The adjourned debate was resumed by Sir A. L. HAY, who
observed that if he were unacquainted with parties in that
house, he might easily have supposed that Lord Howick was
bringing forward his motion as a minister of the crown, in
order to carry out that portion of the royal speech relating to

the distress of the country. If the debate'should have no other
effect it would at all events inform the country who the mem-
bers were in that house who were determined that the general
distress should, if possible, be relieved.
Mr. RASHLEIGH believed the motion of Lord Howick to
be intended as an impediment in the way of the government,

.. . . ,
and should therefore oppose it.
Captain LAYARD, after expressing his thanks to Lord
Stanley and Sir James Graham for the lessons of liberty he
had in his boyhood received from reading their speeches said
that parliament ought not to leave the country in its present
position without some attempt to relieve the prevailing dis-
tress.

Mr. BLACKSTONE would oppose the motion, but still must
state that he was not satisfied with the speech of Sir R. Peel

related to the corn-laws ;
t the commencement of the session, as far as that speech
nor was he better satisfied with
the conduct of the government in reference to their avowed
intentions as to the introduction of American wheat into
