THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT. BERLIN, JAN. 21. The Central Committee for the elections to the North German Parliament have decided to defray the travelling expenses of the Prussian liberal de puties, and to guarantee them the remuneration for their parliamentary services, which has been refused by the government. ITALY AND TURKEY. FLORENCE, JAN. 21. The news of the settlement of the difficulty between Italy and Turkey arising out of the affair of the mail steamer Prince Thomas, is confirmed. The Porte agrees to afford to the Italian flag the satisfaction demanded by the Italian government, and admits the bases named by the latter for de termining the indemnity to be paid by Turkey to the owners of the Prince Thomas. The exact amount of the indemnity is to be fixed by arbitration. FLORENCE, JAN. 21, EVENING. Notice has been given in the Chamber of De puties that on Thursday next questions will be put to the government respecting the position of the Cavour Canal Company, the Bank of Sicily, the application which has been made of the credit on landed property, and the dissolution of the Provincial Council of Naples. The Italie of this evening says :—" Letters from Rome announce that the negotiations between Signor Tonello and the Holy See on ecclesiastical questions being terminated, the negotiators are now engaged in settling the rela tions which shall subsist between Italy and the Pontifical States with respect to passports and custom duties." To-morrow the Senate will meet with closed doors, as a High Court of Justice, to hear read the report of the committee on the trial of Admiral Persano. The report will afterwards be commu nicated to the members of the High Court, in order that they may consider whether the proofs collected warrant the public trial of the accused. AUSTRIA.

JOHN BRIGHT AND HIS WORKPEOPLE.—Mr. John Bright has again and again been charged with being unpopular with his workpeople in Rochdale, hooted from his premises, and with placarding his mill with "No Irish need apply." The slander has been re peatedly disproved, yet it is still reiterated even by gentlemen acting in holy orders. However, now the workpeople of Mr. Bright think it high time to in terfere, and the other day they met in a body, and ap pointed a deputation to wait upon the hon. member for Birmingham to ask him to consent to receive an address from them, assuring him of their respect, and regretting the calumnies heaped upon him by various individuals undeservedly. Mr. Bright consented, and the workpeople are now arranging to hold a meeting on an early day. •• CASH PAYMENTS IN LIVERPOOL—The council of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce yesterday adopted the following resolui ion :—" That the system of payments of large sums in bank-notes at present existing in Liver pool is proved to be objectionable, entailing as it does upon the mercantile community a serious lies of interest on amounts returned in the hands of merchants, brokers, and others, for the purpose of making transfers, which, as in London and elsewhere, would be made by cheques, while the temptations, to fraud and robbery would be minimised by conforming to the latter usage ; and that the council be recommended to seek an interview with the leading bankers, and others interested, with a view to the promotion of this change." It was generally con sidered that an arrangement as to commission, which would be remunerative to the bankers, and which would be readily agreed to by merchants for the additional convenience and safety afforded by the cheque system, might be adopted. A deputation was appointed to wait upon the local bankers. EQUALIZATION OP METROPOLITAN POOR-RAT AL — The President of the Poor-law Board has appointed Friday next, the 25th inst., at 12 o'clock, at the aloes of the Board, Whitehall, to receive a deputation from the Tower Hamlets Association for the Equalization of Metropolitan Poor-rates. _ _ -- ---- CZYSTAL PALACE.

Haydn's bright and cheerful quartet made an agreeable close to an excellent concert. The first morning performance in announced for Satur day next. Drama. DRURY•LANE. John Bull, or an Englishman's Fireside—a play by George Colman the younger, generally considered to be his best—was revived at this house last sight, with Mr. Phelps in the character of Job Thornberry. This comedy as it is called, hardly differs in plot from a host of popular domestic dramas, and owed much of its extraordinary success when it was first produced to the acting of John stone in Dennis Bulgruddery. It was first performed at Covent-garden Theatre, March 5, 1803, the cast being as follows : Job Thornberry, Fawcett ; Hon. Torn Shuffieton, Lewis ; Peregrine, Cooke ; Dennis Bull gruddery, Johnstone ; Sir Simon Rochdale, Blanchard ; Dan, Emery ; Mary, Mrs. Gibbs ; and Mrs. Bulgruddery, Mrs. Davenport. The revival of this play at Drury-lane, like the revival of the Jealous Wife at the same house ' last season, is likely to be popular, although it is per- formed at an exceptionally early hour of the evening —a quarter to 7—to alley time for the Christmas pantomime. The somewhat overstrained pathos of the story is very effective ; the characters are stage types, but equally effective ; the dialogue, though sometimes pompous, is often smart, particularly the part put into the mouth of the Hon. Tom hhuftleton ; and in these days of burlesques, which ridicule everything like earnestness and feeling, it is • refreshing and hopeful to find a large mixed audience still having faith in parts like Job Thornberry and his daughter Mary. Mr. Phelps is not all that could be wished in the first character, and Mrs. Hermann Vesin is • little ton artificial for the simple country girl, but the piece is fairly acted throughout. Mr. Barrett, the Dennis Bul gruddery, was suffering from a severe cold—the "corn pliment of the season." The popularity of the pantomime continues undiminished, the " comic business" being very amusing. *parttng intstltgnice. TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY. Although the muster at Albert-gate to-day was again limited, the proceedings were not without interest, and some spirited betting took place. For the Two Thousand Guineas Plaudit was in great force at 4 to 1, and after being backed for 2501. in one bet several smaller invest ments were freely made at the same price. A commis sioner, after trying hard to obtain 7 to 1 about Hermit, was accommodated with 1,000 to 150—a little over 04 to 1 —but beyond this transaction nothing else was done to our knowledge about Mr. Chaplin's colt. After considerable difficulty the odds of 11 to 1 were obtained about Julius, who, as will be seen by the returns of the "London Betting," was supported for a large sum at the clubs in the morning. Marksman was friendless at 1,000 to 70, but Master But terfly was backed for a small sum at 15 to 1. Some inquiry was made respecting Star of India, but the price offered, 20 to 1, would not suit. For the Derby, the Rake was particularly quiet at 6i to 1, offered. D'Estour nel firmly maintained his position of second favourite, and as little as 9to 1 was accepted kindly. Plaudit was not in request for this event, the offers of 10 to 1 going beg ging. Indeed all the interest in this horse appears for the present centred in his early engagement. Grand Cross having become disqualified for the Two Thousand Guineas by Lord Exeter's death, appears likely to figure promi nently in the Derby quotations, and he met with a certain amount of quiet support at 25 to 1. Master Butterfly was also befriended at the same price, and Marksman was not wanting friends at 28 to 1. The odds of 1,000 to 15 were offered against each of the outsiders, Avron and Strad ' broke, and the first-named, would have been backed at 1,000 te 12. Ths *lasing prices were as follows : TWO THOUSAND QUINTAS. 4to 1 apt Major Elwon's Plaudit tto £250; 1000 to 160 Mr. Chaplin's Hermit (4 II to 1 Duke of Newcastle's Julius it and w) 100 to 7 Mr. Merry's Marksman (or, 16 to 1 Mr. 1 Sastwood's Master Fintterfly (t! 20 to 1 Lord Falmouth's Star of India s oft) DERBY. oi to 1 apt Mr. P,yor's The Rake (off) 9to 1 Mr. Savile's WEstournel t) 10 to 1 Major Ktron's Plaudit 0M 25 to 1 Lord Exeter's Grand Cross A' 25 to 1 Mr. R.

The assemblage at the clubs was more numerous to-day than ft has been for some weeks peat, and the proceedings were .marked by an eeergy and spirit that came quit. re stfres after the tame and languid d.iinp of the "dead ' Speculation on the Two Thousand Guineas was e lly active, and eunediately 4 to 1 was offered abou Plaudit, a bet was booked of $OO to 200, followed by sin transactions at the same price. Hermit was frie ill ess at 6 to 1, but if another point had been tou red he would have met with support. But the horse in t greatest force was Julius, who was backed seven time at 1,100 to 100, and at 500 to 200 for a place. One of our largest bookmakers also laid 3tol to a stiffish amount that he would start for the race. Master Butterfly was backed at 1,000 to GO, and Star of India was entrksted with an investment at 25 to 1, but the same prin.r offered against Sir Oliver faikd to find takers. For the iiierby no mention was made of The Rake, but between , 2001, and 3001. were laid out on D'Betournel at 01 to 1. Grad Cross was moderately supported at 25 to 1, and Julas was backed for 40 " ponies." An offer of 40 to 1 spbut Sir Oliver, met with a response to apt 1,000 to 15. A double event bet of 1,000 to 10 against Marksman brogght the speculation on these two events to a close. Songs attempts to bet on the Lincoln Handicap and the Greed National Steeplechase failed.

WORKING MEN'S LORD'S DAY REST ASSOCIATION. —Last evening • meeting was held at Stafford Rooms, Edgware-road, to form a P•ddiy on branch of this asso ciation. Mr. E. P. Young occupied the chair. Mr. C. Hill stated that the simple object of the association was to secure, as far as possible, Sunday as • day of rest to all meu. The weekly rest was • great boon which ought to be carefully preserved from the encroachments of unriec= labour. After the branch association had been f ormed, the following resolution was carried :—" That this meet: ing desires to express its sympathy with the journeymen fishmongers and poulterers in their efforts to obtain Sun day rest and respectfully solicits all the residents at the west-end to give orders for their Sunday's fish, ice, and poultry to be delivered on Saturday, as her most gracious Majesty the Queen and the principal families in London have already done. This meeting also desires to thank those masters who have encouraged the movement, and hopes that the managers and members of the clubs will also support the journeymen in their efforts." It was stated that at one shop, where, a few months ago, a dozen men used to work on Sundays only three were now re quired to attend to the Sunday orders, and this had been brought about by the customers requesting that their goods might be sent on Saturday. THE WORKING CLASSES AND RELIGIOUS INSTI TUTIONS.—Yesterday afternoon and evening a conference of ministers and gentlemen connected with various Chris ten churches, and • large number of the representative vestrymen of London, was held at the London Coffee house, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of discussing the reasons why so large a proportion of the skilled artisans refrain from attendance at the recognised places of public worship, either belonging to the church or to noncon formists. Amongst others present were Mr. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., the Rev. Canon Miller, Rev. R. Maguire, Rev. Henry Solly, Rev. Mr. Killick, Rev. Newman Hall, Rev. Mr. Maurice, Rev. Mr. Neville, Mi. T. M. Ludlow, Mr. J. Warner, Mr. George Potter, and a large number of working men of various opinions, who had all been invited by ticket. Altogether about 300 persons were present. Mr. E. Mall oocupiei the chair, and the Rev. Mr. White and MA C. Misll acted as secretaries. After an introductory address from the chair, in which all present were invited to express their feelings and opinions without reserve, the discussion was opened at 3 o'clock, each speaker being allowed ten minutes, and concluded at 10 p.m. ' half an hour having been allowed for refreshment. About twenty working men spoke, and the main reason assigned by them for the alienation of the working classes from the religious institutions of the country was the ge neral want of sympathy on the part of the clergy with I the efforts of the working men to improve their social and political condition. The conference was brought to a close without any formal resolution being passed, but the chair man said, on the part of those who had called the con ference, they were much pleased with its results and the explanations which had taken place. LORD REDSHDALE AND TER BURIAL BOARD.— A correspondent sends us the following statement of " what is now taking place in • remote part of the county of Gloucester."—" At Moreton.in-the-Marsh the rimier churchyard is full, and is ordered to be closed. A burial board has been appointed according to act of parliament, and has been in treaty for an eligible piece of land for the new burial-ground, which it proposed to divide in the usual manner, into two portions, consecrated and unconsecrated. The said piece of land is amply sufficient for both. It is more than twice as large as the pariah churchyard, which has been found adequate for the interment of the whole population of the parish for many generations, and from time imme morial. There is no valid reason for its appropriation for the benefit of one section only of the community. The Right Honourable Lord Redesdale ha however, interposed, and has offered to pay the whole of the purchase-money (400 f.) on condition that no part of the ground shall be allotted to dissenters, but that the whole shall be conse crated, and of course shall be open to no ministers except the clergy, and shall be available for no burials except such as shall be conducted according to the formularies of the church. As an incidental consequence, all the clerical fees of the burial ground would go to increase the value of the living, of which his lordship is the patron." NATIONAL REFORM UNION.—ThO executive of the National Reform Union have resolved to hold the annual meeting of the Union ea Tuesday, the 29th inst. Several influential members will be present to take /aid in the proceedings. At a meeting of the York Reform Association, Mr. George Leeman, M.P., in the chair, it was considered in what manner the association could be most useful in the work of promoting the reform move ment, and in securing a really honest and comprehensive measure that would improve the present unjust system of parliamentary representation.

A public meeting was held at Durham on Wednesday, the 16th inst., in aid of the " Curates' Augmentation Fund," the object of which is to increase the income of curates of fifteen years' standing and upwards, by en addition of 100/. per annum. The High Sheriff of Durham (Mr. W. E. Surtees), who presided, said—ln these thinking days, the church of England was not to be supported only by ancient prestige, but by the energy and by the utility of her ministers. It was most desirable to induce young nice to enter the sacred profession, and though they were gene rally led to do so from feeling that they were strictly qua lified for the office which they took, and that they had an earnest desire to fulfil its duties, still man must be man. They must look to the possible wants of their families, and they must be expected to seek a profession in which, as they advance in life, they can receive at any rate some reasonable support. He could mention in his own experience • very interest ing case. A dear friend of his now no longer in this world, took honours at Oxford. For upwards of 20 years he was • curate, and he (the chairman) called the attention of the bishop of the diocese to his friend's case. He mentioned to the bishop that in one particular curacy which be held, his friend was selected out of 60 applicants, because of the testimonials he had. The bishop took the communication kindly, and said to him, " I am rejoiced to hear such an excellent character of your friend, but there being so many meritorious curates in my diocese, I am sorry to say that I cannot promise to do anything for him." The Arch deacon of Durham, who moved the first resolution, said : When a proposal is made for the formation of a new society in these days, when the co-operation of the many has to meet the needs which in the time of our forefathers were supplied by the large libe rality of the few, there must need be • very clear came made out for adding another to the many organisations which ask for their support. Having been one of the earliest promoters of this fund, and having some official knowledge of the requirements of such a work, I ask you to consider thecundition of the modern stipendiarycurates. I hope to show that it is altogether new and peculiar to our own times ; and yet it is one of such gravity as to in volve very materially the interests of religion, and of our church. The Archdeacon of Durham concluded a very interesting statement by announcing that the following have been received up to the present Vico—donations 5:01. (of which the Dean of Durham gives 3001.), and annual subscriptions 150/. .PRINTERS' ORPHAN AsYLUM. —The third annual meeting of the members and friends of the above institu tion was held last evening at Anclerton's Hotel, Fleet street Mr. W. Rivington in the chair. Mr. W. Dorring ton, the secretary, read the report of the committee of management, which congratulated the meeting upon the institution having got fairly into working order, and that there was every prospect of its forming • suoceasful addi tion to the charities already connected with the printing ' profession. The first election took place in July last, when two children out of EVii candidates were elected to the benefits, and a second election would take place next summer ; the number of children to he elected would de pend upon the amount of support rendered to the society in the meantime. The two children elected in July last had been placed in a first chin boarding school at Edmonton at • charge of 20 guineas per annum for board and tuition, with extra payment for clothing, the committee retaining the power of supervision over them. Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Middlesex, had un dertaken the office of honorary physician. A ticket benefit night at Drury-lane Theatre in November last produced 40/. to the funds. The committee bad every reason to believe that in the course of the next two years the society would be taken in handand become amalgamated wi(li the Printers' Pension and Almshouse Corporation. The report closed with an acknowledgment of the great support ren dered to the society by the master !printers of the metro polis. The total income for the year had been 3131.95. 4d., and the expenditure, including the paymentfor the two children elected, 142/. ss. 6d., leaving a balsam of 1711. 3a. 10d. After some encouraging remarks front the chairman, the report was adopted, and the committee and other o ffi cers for the ensuing year having been elected, a vole of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. [STAMPED, ld. ADDITIONAL.] 1 MR. GOLD WIN SMITH ON CROMWELL, Mr. Goldwin Smith's second lecture on English political history was delivered at Manchester yesterday 4 evening. Lord Answer, M.P., took the chair. In describing Cromwell's rim to power the lecturer I paused only upon two points. One was the execution of the king. Cromwell tried to save the king's life but was prevented by the king's persistence in perfidy. Probably , Cromwell would even have left him his crown could be I have been trusted to keep to terms. That the execution was a fatal error of policy, one so sagacious as Cromwell could hardly have been altogether unaware. His course was perhaps determined by a real sympathy with the feel ings of his soldiery, who cried for impartial justice against offenders.. Nothing, unhappily, could be less true than Carlyle's remark that the execution " struck a damp like that of death through the heart of Flunkeyism universally in the world." It was Liberty, if anything, that has " gone about incurably sick of it ever since." The blood of the royal martyr has been the seed of Flunkeyiam from that day to this. What man, what woman, feels any sentimental attachment to the memory of James 11. ? Another dark spot was the slaughter of the garrisons of Drogheda and Wexford. The lecturer noticed the excuses of retributive justice, but added that the excuse failed if any innoceut perished with the guilty. Coming to the review of Cromwell's character 64 a prince, he said the judgment of history upon Cromwell could scarcely be fixed until the settlement of great questions still open both in the church and in the state. In this lecture the ,goodness of his caum would be taken for granted, and the only inquiry would be whether he served it faithfully and wail, Of his mine there was little question. Although it was beg before law-loving England could forgive one who seemed to have set his foot on law, yet as often as danger threatened the thought re turned—not that we may have spin a Marlborough or • Black Prince, but that the race which produced Cromwell may, at its need, produce his peer, and the spirit of the Great Usurper may once more stand forth in arms. Of Cromwell's honesty there was more doubt. Who could hope, in so complex a character, to distinguish accurately the impulses of ambition from those of devotion to • cause! Cromwell was a fanatic, and all fanatics are morally the worse for their fanaticism, but his conduct proved that his religion was sincere. Constant hypo crisy would have been fatal to his decision. The double miaded man is unstable in all hie ways. The lecturer declared himself no devotee of the religion of hero-worship Great men were most precious gifts of Heavek, and unhappy was the nation which cannot prodnee them at its need. But their importance in history becomes less as civilisation goes on. In the last great struggle which the world has seen, the Cromwell was not a hero, but an in telligent and united nation. To whatever age they may belong, the greatest and most godlike of men are men, not gods. Cromwell said, " Paint me with all my wrinkles." Carlyle in his memoir had done—with his genius he could not fail to do—well ; he would have done better had he paid his hero the homage of simple truth. This hero worship, said the lecturer, becomes the warship of mere force, which is no more adorable than meta fraud, the force of those who are physically weak. To moral force we may bow down, but moral force resides, and can reside, in those only whose lives embody the moral law. It is found in the highest degree in those at whomhero-worship Bastes. Hero-worship sneers at Falkland; yet Falkland, by his purity and his moderation, has touched and in fluenced the hearts of his countrymen for ever. Mr. Smith then proceeded to show that arbitrary power was not dear to Cromwell's heart. He was great enough, and felt himself great enough, to reign among the free. An ignoble nature like that of Bonaparte might covet des potism. A noble nature never cared for the affection of a dependent or for the obedience of a slave. Cromwell was the only man in a position to found a government after the revolution. Then, and throughout his reign, he quelled anarchy as he had quelled tyranny, and with a merciful economy of punishment which shows how different is the vigour of the brave from the vigour of ferocious cowards, The lecturer spoke of the Long Parliament with respect and gratitude, but said its continued government would have been the tyranny of • section. When Cromwell was set up by the army, it was not • government of mus keteers and pikemen. That would be the greatest of calamities, the deepest of degradations ; and how to escape the danger of such government, which threatened all European nation, in their critical transition from the feu i dal aristocracy of the past to the democracy of the future, was now the creasing question for us all. The soldiers of Cromwell were the best of English chimes, they were themselves the revolution, and had neither right nor in clination to set up military tyranny, but bad a right to give a chief to the state and support his government. . He was no Cesar or Bonaparte, no unprincipled soldier of fortune, but puritanism armed and crowned. In both the English and the French revolution the most religious part of movement was the deepest. So it was in all movements. Beneath all the social and political revolutions now going on, did we not perceive a revolution in religion ?—• revolution which might one day clothe itself in some form of power, and cast the world again in a new mould. The form of government which Cromwell (after be had attained supremacy) meant to found wail a monarchy, with himself as king. But it was to be a constitutional and protestant monarchy, with par liamentary government sod taxation, reform of the repre sentation, the service of the state freely opened to merit, law reform, church reform, university reform, union of the three kingdoms, a pacified and civilised Ire land, and above all, that to which Milton's lines pointed as the chief work of the chief of men— liberty of conscience. We need not sneer at the aspirations of the republicans. If some men did not aspire too high, the world in general would fall too low. But at that time a republic would have been sue of party : England required to be made again a nation, and only a chief raised in some measure above parties could govern nationally. The first day of Cromwell's reign, in fact, was the last of confiscation and vengeance, and every cavalier was safe in person and estate. The case of Waah ington was different, for his nation at the end of war was united it had been struggling with a power that was ex ternaL Cromwell did not allow his government to remain military for an hour longer than be could help; but the step from civil war tolegal government couldnot be made at once. The insulting wanner in which he dismissed the Long Parliament was a stain on Cromwell's character both as a man and as a statesman. He was probably carried by his feelings beyond his self-control. The lecturer paid a tribute to the wise intentions of the derided Barebones parliament, whose programme of legislation we had not yet entirely carried out. But that parliament neglected the demential thing of providing for the foundation of • government The instrument of government, under which Cromwell was afterwards made Lord Protector, de fended him from the charge of keeping arbitrary power. Under this provisional constitution government could not be party government ; a national council was always sitting even in the parliamentary recess; the army was brought under the constitution ; the nation was secured from being entangled in war without its own consent by the ministers; and the provision for the &bob kiwi of rotten boroughs would have saved us from the work of rotten borough parliaments— among other things, from our 800,000,000/. of debt. As to Cromwell's personal disposition, when invited to take the crown, the lecturer showed inducements of policy, but was ready to believe that a man who has done great things may, by the grace of heaven, keep his heart above tinsel. The still half-feudal instincts of the nation were indulged with • House of Lords, but it was a failure. An old aristocracy, Mr. Coldwin Smith said, may be darned to any extent, but to make a new one when the age of conquest and conquering races is past is not an easy thing. He ridiculed the notion that Cromwell's fortitude was ever shaken by fear. The lecturer noticed also that insurgents were tried before juries in the counties where rebellion occurred, so little known to this military despot were our present theories of martial law. By his interposition to save Ormond when conspiring in London, the strongest man of those days had bequeathed a lesson to emasculate sentimentalists, who sped manhood by affecting a furious lust of violence and blood. In his foreign policy he talked of making the name of an Englishman as respected as that of a Roman, in a strain suited to those times, not to ours. But he sought to form a Protestant League, and put Eng. bind at its head, Sall this was a policy which, unlike that of modern diplomatists, all the nation could understand, and carried the heart of the nation with it. When Eng land is again a united nation, said the lecturer, though she will not meddle or bluster, she will make herself felt in the world once more. Cromwell did not trample on the weak, or send scolding despatches, but in the case of Savoy he interposed effectually, and right was done. The lecture was full of hist<eical detail of the utmost interest, of which only the fragments could be reproduced in the foregoing brief outline. THE RITUALISM QUESTION. Yesterday after noon a large and influential meeting of the clergy and laymen of Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding neigh bourhood was held at the Sussex Hotel Assembly-rooms, " for the purpose of memorials being adopted by mem bers of the established church, addressed to her Majesty the Queen and to kis Grime the Archbishop of Canterbury, bringing to notice the alarming growth of Romish doc trines within the established church, and praying that effectual means may be taken for their suppression." In the absence of Lord Nevill, from whom a letter had been received regretting his inability to attend, but expressing his hearty noncurrent* in the object of the meeting, Mr. J. D. Bourdillon was called to the chair. About fifty clergymen had been invited to attend the meeting, and of these • large number were present, there being also a numerous attendance of laymen. Resolutions in accord ance with the objects of the meeting, and memorials founded fiascoes, were adopted. LTWOPENCE METROPOLITAN' DISTRZSg. At the close of the business which yesterday came under the consideration of the Mansion•hoase Col- lieries Explosion Relief Committee, and before the mess. ben of the committee (then present) had separated, The Loan MAYOR said that he begged to mention to the gentlemen around him that he had received at all hands very many urgent applications to form a committee to receive and dispense the means of meeting the dire and fearful distress now prevailing throughout the metropolis, owing to the scarcity of labour and the severity of the weather, and he had also received many painfully dis tressing accounts aa to the extent to which that distress prevailed up to the present time. He bad, therefore, deemed it proper to wait no longer, but immediately to commence operations by asking the members of the Explosion Committee to join him in forming another com mittee, to be designated the Metropolitan Distress Relief Committee, to raise funds to meet that distress, and by the aid of local committees to dispense relief all through the metropolis as in the case of the choler funds. The whole of the committee had, he was happy to say, acceded to his request, and the following gentlemen he bad requested to join the committee be proposed to form, vie.: the Gover nor of the Bank of England, Mr. William Leaf, of Old Change, Mr. R. R. Wade, director of the Union Provincial Bank ; Mr. Charles Wigrain, Mr. Henry Green, the Rev. Mr. Rogers, Rector of Biaho ate ; the Rev. F. 0. Blom field, Mr. John Holmes, of Bread-street, and Kr. W. Davenport Bromley, M.P. A subscription was at once commenced and was headed by a donation of 100/. from Messrs. Barelay, Bevan, and Co ; of IUO/. from Mr . John Holmes, and at from the firm of Holmes Brothers, of Bread-street. The committee will consist of the gentlemen above-named, Wirth,: with the following members of the existing com mittee—vie., the Lord Mayor, Mr. R. C. L. Bevan, Mr. MG7rtMoore, Mr. J. P. Galahad, Mr. Alderman Finn* Mr. e . T. Gabriel, Colonel Stuart Wortley, Mr. W. J. Maxwell, Mr. Alderman Bosley, Mr. Alderman Dakin, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Waterlow, Mr. Sheriff Lyon*, Mr. Frederick Thompson, Mr. James Doke Hill, Mr. It. A. Gray, Mr. R. N. Fowler, Mr. Alderman Cotton, and Mr. Samuel Morley. The committee will meet to-morrow (this day) at the Mansion-house at 3 o'clock. It may be added that several gentlemen connected with Poplar, Mile-end, and other East-end districts appeared at tam Mansion-house to urge some movement in behalf of the distressed population, and 1111111 informed by Mr. Gibbs (the Lord Mayor's eec retary) that the matter was at that moonlit being initiated, and in a few days the benefit eff their information would be gladly received. THE COLLIERIES EXPLOSION FUND. The weekly meeting of the Mansion-house Com mittee for the relief of the sufferers by the recent colliery explasiormin the West Riding of Yorkshire and in Stafford shire waa held yesterday, pursuant to adjournment from the preceding Monday. Of the members of the committee ' there were present the Lord Mayor (in the chair), Colonel Stuart Wortley, Mr. R. A. Gray, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Witterlow, Mr. C. T. Gabrkl, Mr. George Moor*, Mr. F. Thompson, Mr. B. C. L. Bevan, Mr. Maxwell, Xt. J. Duke Rill, Mr. J. P. Gaascitt, Mr. Alderman Dairy Mr. Alderman Finnis, Mr. B. N. Fowler, and Mr. Alder ' man Cotton. After reading the minutes of the proceedings of the last meeting of the committee (which were confirmed), the secretary (Mr. Gibbs) reported that the total amount which had been received and promised up to the piesent meeting was 20,7161. 10e. lid. Pursuant to a suggestion thrown out at the previous meeting, it was announced that the Lord Mayor had written to Mr. Peacock, the secretary of the Barnsley local committee, urging that some of that committee should attend the present meeting of the Landon com mittee. The expediency of this step was consumed in, and accordingly the Rev. C. F. Cobb and Mr. F. G. Jack son, M.D. now attended as • deputation from the Barnsley lo cal committee, and afforded full and complete information as to the mode in which the local fonds raised for the relief of the sufferers were being adminis tered. The funds raised locally amounted to about 15,0001., and the deputation confirmed the expreencei of the opinion the Barnsley committee had promulgated, that the requirements for that locality would at least amount to 70,0001. more. The deputation further ex plained the manner in which the guardians of the parishes had acted in the matter of the relief afforded, and that though at the outset they had seemed to think that the calamity ought to be met by public benevolence yet now they were ready to supplement the relief afforded from the public subscriptions and donations by aid from the parochial resources. This intimation was received with satisfaction by the London Committee. After • discussion, which was conducted in • conversational tone, it was re solved, " That it was most desirable that a return should be forwarded to the Mansion-house Committee ea soon as possible, setting forth the names and ogee of all the men, women, and children dependent on the Barnsley Committee, with a statement of the present scale of relief, together with a memorandum of the various causes of their depend ence on the local fund." The committee then adjourned for a week. Among the subscriptions received at the Mansion-house yesterday were the following:—From five Wesleyan Chapels in the Oxford-street Circuit, near Manchester, 501. ; from the Congregation of the English Church at Cronstadt, 271. 3s. 61;; proceeds of an Amateur Reading at Brentwoxl, 15/. ; from a Collection at Brentwood Church, 151. 10a. from a Collection at Rhyl, Flintshire, 10/. 14s. ; from sir.
