THE MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE. ---- Yeeterday a special meeting of the working com mittee was held at the Mansion-house ; the Lord Mayor presiding. A deputation from Nottingdale attended before the committee, of which the Rev. Mr. Allan, $ clergyman rending in the district, but not parochiallyconnected with it, was the spokesman. They represented that in St. Andrew, Notting.hill, and Kensington Potteries, cholera had recently made its ap in a very virulent form, there having been Rev deaths within the last few dun with all the Asiatic symptoms. The committee granted them 251., and also made an additional grant of 501. to the Wapping Hospital, a grant of 201. to Tower Hamlets Diu penury, and 15/. to St. Thomas Charterhonac Schools. A grant of stores was made to the Poplar and South Bromley committee. Sir Mordaunt Wells reported that from care ful and minute inquiries he had made, and from returns sent in by the local committees, the Mansion-house com mittee would have to provide, in the first instance, for 521 orphans, and that of the Bishop of London for 539, as the result of the recent conference end scrutiny between the two committees. Since that the name, of over 100 orphans more had been returned, all of them being distressing cues, several ha lost both parents, who were respectable people. He had no hesitation in stating that out of 5,0001. which the Man sion.house committee had set apart for orphans, they would have to provide for at least 560. He took occasion to refer to some extremely distressing eases of this kind which had been brought under his notice by Dr. Rickards, resident pbyaieian of University College Hospital, as having occurred in the immediate neighbourhood of the hospital. The committee granted Dr. Rickards 101. for the relief of the cues referred to. On the motion of Sir Mordaunt Wells, 374/. was voted by the committee for the relief of 187 poor widows whose husbands had died of cholera, leaving children dependent upon them, to enable them to redeem little articles with which they had been obliged to part in their distress and affliction, apportioning to each widow for that purpose the sum of 21. The returns of such cues sent in by the local committees contained many distressing instances—for example, where a widow whose husband had died of the epidemic had pawned the whole of her little furniture to defray the expense of the funeral of three children, and where otheas were subsist ing for the time on the little money they had raised by pledging their few household goods, and some of them their deceased husband's tools. Yesterday the committee had a long oonferenoe with the local committees from the various districts in the east of London in reference to the apportionment of the money voted for that purpose by the committee (5,0001.), the general result of which was, that the com mittee having stated the sum they intend to give towards the maintenance of each orphan, and ascertained the number of orphans to be relieved, it was left to the local committee" to prepare each of them a scheme as to the expenditure of the money, such scheme to be submitted to the Mansion-house committee afterwards for their ap proval before being carried into effect. The Lord Mayor, addressingthe local committees, said that their formation for the special purpose of meeting the epidemic might be made the groundwork of a powerful agency for some eon- bined action, with the view to improve the condition of I the poor as to the manner in which they lodged, as dis closed by the house-to-house visitations made during the dieeese, and he hoped those committees would not allow themselves to vanish into " thin air." London proper, he said, owed to them the deepest obligation, and he urged them to prosecute the good work for the relief of the des titute widows and orphans, with such assistance in money as the Mansion-house committee would be able to render. In that committee no other feeling was recognised but that of humanity. They had nothing to do with church men, catholic', dissenters, or Jews. They were a work ing committee for the relief of distress, and to that view of their duties in the emergency much of their emcees was attributable. The committee then adjourned. lAICSS 07 SOLICITORS MID 711111112 PARTIOCIAII TO 11 OBTAIN= AT THI 077101 07 71171 013117 11771111111 AR, own= or RAMILIC7TCT, auareHALfrermsar.] Squirting Antelligesut.

Lo ,, s or Two Lives AT NIAGARA Nt.tu ILI FALLS, Sept. 12.—This afternoon, while a terri ble wind was blowing up the gulf, two men were disco vered in a small boat in the rapids south of the Three Sister?. They were struggling deperately with the waves, but human power was utterly unavailing. Hundreds of persons were on Goat Island and saw them, but, of course, were unable to render any assistsnce. The terror-stricken Men rowed with frantic efforts to the very verge of the precipice, and finally went over still clinging to the oars. Mr. Cooper, the postmaster at the town of Chippewa, on the Canada side, two miles above the Falls, started with Frank Leutze, the ferryman, to cross the river in a small boat. Usually the course is to pull about two miles up the river before attempt ing to cross, but on this occasion the unfortunate men seemed to have imagined that the heavy wind blowing up stream would counteract the force of the current, and con sequently attempted to cross in a direct line. The result was the same as it has been on three former occasions when similar attempts have been made, and their lives paid the forfeit of this mistake. The rapids of the Nia gara are too awful in their power to be trilled with. It is singular that Lentz., the ferryman, who bed crossed and recrmsed a hundred times in all kinds of weather, should lave so sadly misjudged the force of the current, and ovetestimated to such a degree the strength of the wind.

WORM MEETING A READING. • Last night a, meeting on the subject of parlia mentary reform was held at Beading, in connexion with the branch of the Reform League recently established in that tows, it wen romanced that Mr. Beale' and other lading reformers would be present great interest was manif ested in the proceedings The mayor, in coin• pliance with the wish of Ea committee of the branch, granted the use of the apaelous Coni Exchange for the purpose, that building bang capable of acoommodaling 2,000 persons. Between 6 and 7 o'clock two bands of music (preceded by banners bearing mottoes silted to the occasion) paraded the streets, and the meeting commenced at half-past 7 Mr. Holmes, of Streatley, paaiditura: Basics and Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson were en tially cheered. Oa the platform were Alderman Palmer, Mears. W. J. Palmer, Colebrook, Leach, and many ree table inhabitants of she town. A letter was read from Sir Francis Goldoni'', me of the members, expressing his inability to be present on the oc casion, being at a distant part of the country, but stating that he trusted the legislature would, in the ensuing session, feel the neoasity of pearling a compre hensive measure of reform, and his constituents might rely on his assistance being cordially given in the Home of Commons, as hitherto, towards the moomplishment of this desirable end. Mr. Edmond Beaten, Mr. J. Baxter Langley, and Lieutenant-Oolonel Dickson delivered stir ring addresses on the refortn question, and the principles they enunciated elicited the hearty applause of a large concourse of people. Smears, were made by some working men, and the follow resolutions were f unanimously adopted :—" That this meeting, desirous aiding the reform movement now in presage, and protesting the present restricted franchise, which entirely eirut t e the great bulk of the working classes from all participation in the government of the country, expresses its cordial approval of the principles of the Reform League, which has for its object residential and registered manhood suffrage and the ballot." 2nd. " That in the opinion of this meeting the present House of Commons has forfeited the confidence and support of the electors and non-eleotors of the United Kingdom by its factious hostility to the moderate and conciliatory measure of reform introduced by the late government, and by its obstinate determination to exclude the people from the pale of the constitution by withholding from them their just rights." 3rd. " That the meetutt h enders its warmest and most grateful thanks to the t Hon. William John Ewart Gladstone, John Bright, Re q., Stuart Mill, Esq., our borough and all members of parliament who throughout the late discussions in the House of Commons vindicated the character and defended the rights of the people : also to Edmond Beaks, Esq., and the Council of the Reform League, for their noble conduct in defence of the right of public meeting during d the late London R e form demonstration at Hyde-park an elsewhere." MIDDLESEX REGISTEATIO.N. Mr. Nathaniel Lindley, the barrister recently ap pointed by Lord Chief Justice Cockburn as successor to Mr. Edmond Beales, to revise the electoral lista of the county of Middlesex, held his court yesterday, in the Vestry-hall, Church-row, Bethnal-green, and revised the lista of the parishes and places entitled to poll in that district, namely, Christchurch, St. John, St. Leonard, Shoreditch, St. btatthew, the Liberty of Norton - folgate , and the old Artillery-ground. The business of the district revision having closed, the court adjourned, and the barrister will hold his court to day at Brentford, the county town. MORE WORKHOUSE MALADMINISTRATION. Yesterday afternoon, at the weekly meeting of the directors of the poor of St. Pancras, Mr. Church warden Ecsxrr in the chair, Mr. Moore, the assistant clerk to the directors, read a communication from the Poor-law Board, requesting their immediate investigation and report on the ease to which their attention had been directed in the subjoined letter :—" To the Poor-law Board. Gentlemen, —Having lost a boy of light intellect, about fifteen years of age, in the City-road, about six o'clock on Tuesday evening, September 18, I went to the police stations. From information I received I heard he was found, and taken to Albany-street Police station. I went, and he had been taken to St. Pancras Workhouse. I proceeded there, and the matron told me Patter, the porter, had taken him home the day before. He left him in Edward-street, Tottenham-court road, but he has nem been seen or heard of since, in con sequence of which I feel in great trouble. I shall be glad if your honourable board will cause inquiry to be made, and let me know the result.—Gentlemen, I remain your humble servant (signed) Saxon, BAMWATB, 4, Reynolds terrace, Old Church-road, Stepney." Several members of the board rose simultaneously and demanded that an im mediate and most searching investigation should take place, and a resolution to that effect was unanimously adopted. Mr. Morrison, the master of the workhouse ; a pauper inmate named Fibula, who acts as his clerk ; the gate porter, and a pauper named Poole, who, it came out, had been instructed by the pauper assistant clerk to take the boy " home," were severally called up area examined. The porter produced his night book, in which there was the following entry :—" Sept. 20, 1.25 a.m.—Brought in by police-constable 300 8, of Albany-street station, a lost boy. Gave his name as Thomas Samage, aged about 13 years. Can't tell where be lives, found in Harmoodatreet, Kentish-town. Sent to receiviag-ward." In the master's book, kept by Fauld, the clerk, there was an entry of de ceased's name, but it bad been struck out. Fauld said he took upon himself to send the boy out on tho same day on the morning of which he was admitted without consulting the master or sending the boy before the discharge com mittee, and that was why he struck out the name in his book. He intrusted him to a man named Poole, an in mate, who was usually employed to take wanderers to their homes. Poole, on being called, said he took the boy " home" by direction of Fauld. He first took him to Moe nington-croseent, but he said he did not live there. The boy then said something about Edward-street, and he took him to Edward-street, Hampstead-road. When they got there he said that was not the place, and pointed to wards Tottenham-court-road. HP then took the boy up as far as the corner of Howland-street, when he said. he lived up that street, and he then left him and told him to go home, and had not seen or heard of him since. In cross-examination by members of the board, Poole said, although the boy appeared queer, he did not notice that he was "light minded." He did not think him an idiot. He had fre quently taken boys and girls home under Similar circum stances, and when he came back he reported where he had left them at the lodge. He did not report this case. Had taken girls home within three months. The last one was to Bloomsbury, Bury-street ; but although he saw the girl to the door he did not know the number. Mr. Morrison, the master, expressed his ignorance of the pro ceeding. The man Fauld certainly acted for him whoa he was away from his office. The boy had no right to be sent out in the way he had been. The porter's book, containing the application of the boy's father, was also presented and read, and after some considerable further inquiry Mr. Ford and Mr. Ilollingshead considered the case a most shameful one on the part of their officials, and calculated to damage the character of the board. The latter moved that the clerk, as soon as the board was over, proceed to the resi dence of the boy's father, and ascert ain if he had returned home, and if no; that he get a correct description of him and forthwith issue public placards, offering on the part of the guardians a rewani of tive pounds to any one giving information so as to find the boy. This being seconded, Mr. J. H. Collins moved that they go further, inform the l'oor Law Board what they had done, what facts they had elicited, and express their regret at the shameful carelessnvos and negligence on the part of their officers. After some furtherand warm discussion, Mr.Hollingshead's motion was carried, and Mr. Ford modified his to referring the whole matter to the house committee to investigate and report, and that au& report be forwarded to the Poor Law Board. GRIEVANCES OF NORTH LONDON RAILWAY PAS SENGEEs.—A deputation of passengers who reside in the neighbourhood of the North London Railway attended yesterday at the company's station at the Euston-square terminus for the purpose of having an interview with the , directors respecting Dome alleged serious irregularities I which the passengers experience in travelling between Fenchurch-Itreet, Broad-street, and the north-west por tions of the line. Some twenty gentlemen holding season tickets, and who have taken houses at a considerable ren tal on the line, were in attendance, but it was stated, on I their being introduced to the amistant-secretary, Mr. ; Newton, that, in consequence of some misunderstanding that had taken place in the communications between the board and the members of the deputation, the directors would not be able to be present until Wednesday (this day). The deputation was very courteously received by the assistant secretary, and the complaints as to the interruptions of the traffic and the inconvenience suffered by the passengers were very temperately pre sented to Ur. Newton, who regretted exceedingly that the misunderstanding that bad occurred had pre vented the presence of the directors, and of Mr. Maned, tho secretary. The chief complaints on the part of the passengers appeared to be the change of carriage, which passengers have to suffer at Bow, and certainly the state ment, wade by several of the deputation quite justified them in taking the present step. Mr. Newton assured them that the question of the change of carriages at Bow was under the serious consideration of the board, who would meet this day, and no doubt they would come to a conclusion which would be satisfactory to the members of the deputation. They knew that it was impossible to run through trains from all stations, but everything that could be done the directors would endeavour to do. Several minor complaints were made, the justice of which was ad mitted, and Mr. Newton said some of them were in course of removal, and the others would be removed at the earliest possible moment. If the deputation wished, the directors would be happy to meet them this day (Wednesday) ; but after a slight conversational discussion among the mem bers it was decided to leave the whole matter in the hands of the directors. Mr. Newton stated that as far as the directors had the power the cause of complaint would be removed.

It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General, that in the week that ended on Saturday, September 29, the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,574 ; the deaths registered 3,176. The annual rate of mortality was 27 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,057 boys and 1,089 girls, in all 2,146 children, were registered in the week. In the correspond ing weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average number, cor rected for increase of population, was 1,977. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,418. It was the thirty-ninth week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase lof population, 1,2.39. The deaths in the present return ex ceed the estimated number by 179. 177 deaths from cholera, and 67 from diarrhoea were registered during the week. Of these 12 deaths from cholera, and 9 from diarrheas occurred in the West ; 36 from cholera, and 11 from diarrhten in the North ; 28 from cholera, and 17 from diarrhoea in the Central ; 55 from cholera, and 18 from diarrhoea in the East ; 46 from cholera, and 12 from diarrhcea in the South districts. During the last 13 weeks, 4,714 persons have fallen victims to cholera, and 2,298 deaths were caused by diarrhoea. The cholera matter is now diffused very equally all over London; and as the waters of the upper Thames, of the Lea, and of the wells become infected the utmost exertions of the autho rities will be required to ensure its decline. Each health officer should consider that the safety not onlyof the people of his own district, but of three millions of people depends on his activity. It is to be regretted that these inade quately paid officers cannot devote the whole of their time to the duties of their important office. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, 23 in Edinburgh, and 44 in Dublin ; 22 in Bristol, 18 in Birmingham, 47 in Liverpool, 28 in Man chester, 2t in Salford, 18 in Sheffield, 29 in Leeds, 26 in Hull, 36 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 25 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 55 per 1,000 daring the week ending the 22nd ult., when the mean temperature was 5.3 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 23 per 1.000. The fatality of cholera continues to decline steadily in Liverpool ; last week, of the 437 deaths 116 were referred to this disease, while in the previous six weeks the num bers were respectively 157, 146, 225, 145, 182, and 159. In Dublin, however, the number of fatal cases is still in creasing ; the 268 deaths, including 98 from cholera, whereas in the four previous weeks they were 41, 52, 55, and 65. Manchester even now appears to be threatened with a visitation, unless the danger can be averted by strenuous exertions on the part of the local authorities ; last week, in Manchester and Salford, of the 248 deaths 14 were referred to cholera, of which several were of a severe type. In Vienna an epidemic of cholera is raging with in creasing violence ; in the week ending 22nd September, of 586 deaths, 274 were cases of cholera, showing a large in crease upon the three previous weeks, then the numbers were 64, 107, and 201. TRADE AT COVENTRY. -0-- Considerable success has attended the scheme for introducing a new trade into Coventry, and the erection of the new Leigh Mills, in Hill street, is being proceeded with. The work is now so far advancedi that Monday was axed foe laying the top stone of the wall, and the arrangements fur giving effect to the formality of doing so were on a scale commensurate with the importance of the occasion to the city of Coventry. now and henceforth to be no longer absolutely dependent on the trade which gave it name and fame as a manufacturing town. About one o'clock there departed to rook for the Leigh Mills • proces sion, which included the clergy and dissenting ministers, and none of its components looked better than the work people, especially the women and girls, each wearing a few dowers in breast or button-hole. It WAS loudly cheered on its way to Hill-street, and the cheering became louder when Lord Leigh, the chairman of the North Warwick shire Worsted and Woollen Company, and Lord-Lieutenant I of the county, entered the enclosure, and took his place on the wall, in order to perform his own, the principal, part in the masonic ceremonial. This having been gone through, his lordship addressed those present, expressing his gratification at the progress of the undertaking, trusting that they would observe the motto of the Worsted and Woollen Com pany, which they saw engraven on the stone before them, viz., " Weave truth with trust." He then alluded to the early days of the undertaking, and expressed his hope that the new trade would prove a source of constant and ex tended employment to the artisans of Coventry. Already 200 looms had been kept at work at the Widdrincton Mills, and bad they had apace enough 500 looms might have been kept going ; and he trusted that in the new mills they would be enabled to have the larger number of 500 looms at work. In conclusion, he expressed his plea sure at the part his Masonic brethren had taken in the proceedings of that day.

He told the prisoner that he was charged with stealing a wateh, and he said " Very well." Before he went out of the house with the landlord his wife had given him the watch and chain. Henry Limn, beer-house keeper, 27, Junes-street, Beth-green, said the prisoner was in his house at 12 o'clock on the night of the 17th of September, and there was a disturbance in the tap-room. Witness went in and spoke to the prisoner about • glass that was broken, when he was thrown on to a table by the prisoner and two other men, and soon afterwards he missed his watch. pit Jane Lawson, wife of the prosecutor, said that bearing a disturbance she went into the taproom, and saw the prisoner take her husband's watch out of his pocket. She took the watch out of his pocket and said, " You vagabond, you have taken my hushand's watch." He struck her a severe blow in the breast. She gave the watch to the policeman, and then went to the station-house and identified the prisoner. Mr. Wright addressed the jury for the prisoner, saying that he had no felonious intention, and merely' took the landlord's watch to ascertain what o'clock it was. The jury found the prisoner Guilty.

THE POLICE COURTS. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Charles reagent', auctioneer, and Mr. Charles Bun. yard, were summoned before Mr. Tyrwhitt for conspiring together to defraud Mr. Frederick Thomas, of Adam street, of a bill of exchange for 750/. Mr. M. Williams was for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh for Cowland ; and Mr . F. H. Lewis for Minya's& Mr. M. Williams, having stated the case at length, called Mr. Thomas, who said be was a bill discounter. A gentle.' man named Hope brought him a bill fot 7501. to get dis counted. The prisoner Bunyard, who had previously seen the bill, called on him and stated. that a friend named Cowland would buy the bill for 500/. He agreed to sell the bill for that amount, and gave an authority to the National Bank, from whom be had obtained 2001., leaving the bill in their hands for approval. The bank having afterwards declined to discount the bill, agreed to return it on repayment of the 200/. The bill was obtained from the bank, but in consequence of Bunyard delaying to pay over the balance to him, he had an interview with Bunyard, who told him in explanation that Cowland was pressed for money, but he would give his own bills—one for 1001. at one week, 1001. at two weeks, and 100/. at three weeks, which would be withdrawn by Cowland as they came to maturity. He took the bills, but they were all disho noured, Having ascertained that Bunyard was attempting to sell the bill in the market for 4001., he sought and ob tained various interviews both with' limiyard and Cowland. At these interviews Cowland asserted that he had given full consideration for the bill. This was denied by Bun- yard, who gave a different version of the transaction be tweenTowknd and himself. He could not account for the bill having got into Bunyard's hands—he could only conjecture. Mr. Sleigh contended that the evidence did not show the smallest portion of legal conepiracy between the de fendants. pia blow Mr. F. Lewis said the object 'of these, proceedings was to get that through a criminal charge which ought to be dealt with by the courts at Westminster. Mr. AI. lirilliams considered a case of conspiracy had been made out. Mr. Tyrwhitt thought that juggling and trickery 'hail taken place, but he could not say whether it amounted to conspiracy. He should dismiss the summons, and the par ties might take the case elsewhere. Mr. H. Williams said he was prepared to enter into enro -1 ties to prosecute the case at the sessions. WESTMINSTER. John Charles Patterson, of 73, West-street, Brighton, ` gentleman," about 30 years of age, was charged with stealing two pianos, value 45/. and 35/., the former belong ing to Mr. Peachey, of Bishopsgate-street, and the latter to Messrs. Burling, Orchard-street, Portman-square. Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended. Mr. Smyth, in opening tte case, said the prisoner was charged with stealing these pianofortes, having obtained possession of them for the purposes of hire only, at a certain rent per quarter. He carried on a systematic plan of plun dering pianoforte makers of their instruments in this way, and then pawning them and absconding. The only ques tion before the court or the jury would be whether at the time the prisoner obtained them he had any intention to deprive the owners of their ultimate possession. The magistrate concurred in this. Thomas Napier, carman, in the employ of Mr. George Peachy Bishopsgate- street , pianoforte manufacturer, proved 'that he delivered a piano value 45/, to the prisoner, at 49, Drompton-square, on the 12th of May last, and the prisoner signed the receipt for hire produced. Prisoner denied receiving any such piano or signing the receipt produced. Anthony Stanton, clerk to Mr. Peachy, proved that on applying to prisoner for a quarter's hire the letter was re turned through the dead letter.office. He traced prisoner to Brighton, and saw him with Mr. Peachy. He brat said his name was Patterson, but upon their telling their busi ness ho denied the name, said his name was Jones, and he knew nothing of the transaction. William Luby, 244 B, warrant officer, proved appre hending prisoner at West-street, Brighton, on Monday. Ile denied all knowledge of Dlr. Peachy's pianoforte, or the delivery of it. William Springett, carman to Messrs. Burling, piano forte manufacturers, of Orchard-street, Portman-square, said on May la he delivered to prisoner, at 49, Brompton square, a piano value 35/. on hire.
