Mr. Villiers - on Monday night made some satisfactory state- ments as

to the position of Lancashire. He still believed that there would be work enough under his Bill for every unem- ployed operative, Blackburn done- proposine.p to spend 104,000/. The local proprietary would also, he thought, when they found labour was to be had, commence considerable undertakings, and 4,000 persons were going off the rates weekly. As to the winter, there was the money to be lent by this Bill, there was the authority to guardians to borrow—even for emigration, and there was the large balance still left of subscriptions. There was, therefore, not the slightest danger lest the people should be left to starve.
