Minor improvements and additions, however, con- tinue to be made, and this year the Directory appears with an introduction, exhibiting utilities in the volume which might escape notice on a su?erficial survey, and showing bow they are to be realised.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1862. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGKNCIE (aurrues TILIMILIOL) THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN ITALY. TURIN, Dtc. 4. The lists of ministerial combinations in circulation yesterday are either premature or unfounded. Signor Parana has been received by the King. It is still said that Signor Cassinis will enter the new Cabinet, but only as Minister of Justice. For the portfolio of the Interior two names are put forward—Marquis D'Aftlitto, Prefectof Genoa, and Signor Poerretti, Syndic of Milan. It is asserted that Signor Pasolini would under take the Presidency of the Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The journals continue to discuss the question whether the new Cabinet should consist of members who had held themselves aloof from the recent par liamentary conflict. TURIN, Dim 4, Evunia. . The Discussione of this evening says "If our information is correct, the new ministry will be a political one, composed of men who have gained reputation in parliament, although abstain ingfrom party eoulflottt." The same paper believes that the new cabinet will be supported by a majority, including the supporters of Signor Rattazzi. The article concludes : "Should personal ambition prolong the present crisis, the King would in that case know how to find the way to the hearts of his subjects." AMERICA. LONDONDERRY, Die. 4.

I feel highly honoured by the resolution of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and knowing how much the interests of our manufacturing districts are bound up with those of India, I should have had much satisfaction in conferring with the directors upon any subjects of present importance, but this is rendered rut porible by my having to embark at Southampton with my family to-morrow morning. Happily the public discussions relating to India have been so frequent and ample of late a that a substantial agreement has been arrived at as to the wants of that great country and the principles upon which it ought to be governed • and I shall have the privilege of co-operatingu • memb er of Lord Elgin's government in giving practical effect to plans in which the interests of England and India ars equally cotioerned.—l have the honour to be, sir, yOIIT obedient humble servant, C.

LETTER BY THOMAS CARLVLZ.—In the Glasgow Morning Journal a sort of feu d'esprit appeared, written in imitation of the style of Mr. Thomas Carlyle, and intro duced in an editorial note, which stated that its " peculiar style rendered it unnecessary to say from what . distin guished literary person' ^ it proceeded. Mr. Robert Duncan, Ratbo, having sent the article to Mr. Carlyle. with a vote directing attention to it, has received the following answer to his communication :—" 5.

A dash was made by a band of these outlaws • day or so since into Charlestown.

The following report has been made to her Majesty's Commissioners for the International Exhibition of 1862, in reference to the removal of the pictures from the various galleries My Lords sod Gentlemen,— The British pictures in the International Exhibition being now removed from the walla, and the greater part of them already returned to their owners, I think it my duty, as having been specially en trusted by you with their collection and arrangement, to report on their condition and safety. My duties termi nated with the opening of the galleries to the public, and Mr. Sketchley was charged with the superintendence of them during the exhibition, and with the removal and re turn of the pictures. But I have, in company with him, from time to time, examined the collection, and gives especial attention to those works whose condition, prior to their reception, was unsound or doubtful, and have also been present from day to day at the removal of the pictures from the walls ; and it is with great satisfaction I am enabled to say that the precautions taken for the wife keeping of the works committed to your care have been so successful, that, with hardly an exception, the pictures are uninjured, by damp or otherwise. I have also every reason to hope, that from the careful attention which is given to their packing, and the arrangements for their transit, the whole will reach their owners in perfect safety. ltanay be worth while for future information to record the precau , tions adopted. The substantial brickwork of the galleries had been completed some months before the pictures were received into the building, and bad bad full time to dry. The walls were lined throughout with wood planking, nailed to battens, so as to leave a clear space for air between the planks and the brickwork, and the whole then canvassed and coloured. Prior to arranging the works of art, and as an additional precaution, large fires in pipe -stoves were kept burning night and day in the galleries, both in the principal ones for oil pictures and in the smaller side galleries for water-colour paintings, For additional security, the water-colour paintings, as being the most delicate, were so hung as to leave a clear space fo r the circulation of air between the back of the picture and the boarding ; and, in the lower rank, where this space was necessarily small, I had your sanction to the works being backed with painted cloth quite impervious to the damp. Every precaution also was taken in all the galleries to pre vent any direct sue-ray from falling on the pictures, and to subdue the light in those rooms appropriated to water colours ; while, to guard as much as possible sgaMst dust, the whole floor was covered with cocoa-nut fibre matting, and rails placed to keep the spectators from approaching within four feet of the pictures. I have no doubt that Mr. Sketcbley will concur with me in this report ; rod 1 have the honour to be, my Lords and Gentlemen, your faithful servant, RPDCaLt% Y.. Nov. 26. I concur in Mr. Redgmve's report. It. F. SKercitur, Superintendent of Fine Art Department. TILE MALBON LIBERAL CLUB.—Tho third anni versary of the Mahlon Liberal Independent Club was celebrated in the Public-hall in that town last even ing, and was attended by upwards of 100 gentlemen. The hall was hung with the customary banners and devices, and it was a significant sign of the times that one of them expressed the belief that "economy and re trenchment" would be "the best means of reducing the public burdens," a fact which "nobody can deny." The gathering possessed some special local importance, 9.11 a strong effort is about to be made to secure the return of a secood conservative member for the borough of Mahlon in the person of Mr. H. J. Selwin, so as to make up the "con servative ten," which is one of the cherished traditions of Essex conservatism. The liberal electors consequently rallied round the present liberal member for Maldon, Mr. T. Suttee Western, whose near relative, Mr. T. B. Walrritas, occupied the chair. Among the gentlemen at the principal table were Sir T. F. Buxton, Mr. C. Buxton, M.P. for Maidstone; Mr. J. A. Hardcastle, M.P. for Bury St. Edmunds ; Colonel Western, Major Russell, the Rev. Sir J. P. Wood, the Rev. B. G. Luard, Mr. R. J. Bagshaw, late ILP. for Harwich ; Mr. G. Courtauld, Mr. Q. de Horse Valley, Mr. R. Hoeywood, &c. [Stamped, ld. Additional.] rHs szsrasss IN LANCASHIRE. THE COLLECTING COMMITTEE. A special meeting of the collecting committee was held yesterday in the Manchester Town-hall; the Mayor (Mt. Abel Heywood) in the chair. Mr. J. W. MACLMIL (hon. secretary) read the report of the organising committee, from which it appeared that the total amount of sulmeriptioos paid during the week ending Wednesday, Dec. 3, was 67,537/. 15e. 6d., making the balance in the bankers' hands, 210,0001. This was equal to a less of nine days' wages. Various circulars had been sent out making for subscriptions. Mr. Nortboote, of the Manchester Laurance Comma , had informed him that the directors had voted 4001. towards the Central Relief Fund, making their total sukeerioltoo,i. The report was received and a do p ted. Dr. Dr. Joint WATTS add the sum in the bank amused to be a very large one • and unless people considered with it the extent of the prevailing &strew they would begin to think the committee had money enough. It should not be for. gotten that Mr. Cobden's statement was that they would need a million of money before February, and that the loss of wages when he made that estimate was about seven millions a year. But this estimate did not include machinemakere, brickniakers, joiners, packeee, asleuderers, warehousemen, clerks, and others, who were out of employ equally with the operatives. No doubt the loss of wages et the present crisis was at the rate of nearly ten millions per annum, sod the fund now in the bank was considerably under a fortnight's loss of wagess Another tires item of unemployed not included in the above estimate were the bleachers and dyers. If persons only got is. bd. of their wages through the relief committee, this amount in the beak would only extend to about ten or twelve weeks at eijemet. tbee Mr. T. B. ?WM said that the must biased feel grati fied that there was so large an amount of money in the bank. They must mot forget the debt they owed to Mr. Cobden for those life-stirring exhortations which he gave them in the Town-hall. Looking at their large Wanes, he (Mr. Potter) ventured to urge upon them to preen upon the executive committee the necessity of disbursing the fund, which had been so liberally subscribed, in an equally liberal spirit. It would not become them in Manchester to board large sums in the bank when vast numbers of the population were on the brink of starvation. The minimum amount which would keep body and soul together should not be considered in the gifts of the executive committee, who should strive all in their power to give something like moderate or at least comforts to the workbag dames. If there be some plan devised for supplementin . ogises it could be adopted with great advantage. He the manufac turers in this crisis would do all they to deserve a re turn of prosperity. An employer of labour in France had mot over 201. as a subscription to the relief fund. Mr. H. B. FORM' said the distress was iocreasiog, and they must look the matter boldly in the face. There was • large proportion of the population who were well off 18 months ago who would soon be compelled to cease sub scribing altogether. It was high time, therefore, the ann. mittee should know the extent of money they would re quire. While, therefore, the question of bare DeCONAIIIII was before them, they should not think of luxuries. Mr. Portia said he did not mean that the word should be exactly taken. He meant such things as and sugar. Mr. FORINT said them were at that nioirset s •ome gentle- Heenan in the mom who had a difficulty in finding artisans, because they could get more money by Going to the relief committees. _ _ , Several letters were read by the SECRETARY, the only important one being referred to the executive. Mr. T. CLicc, the deputy chairman, said the Collecting Committee had mapped out thirteen districts in Manches ter, eight of which were as yet unoccupied, and volunteers were bully wanted. A report of the progress made by the canvassers would be brought up at a future time. A start had been mule in the out districts. With regard to the canvass generally he might state that so far as the people had been visited there seemed to be great willingnees; but great " touchiness." He cautioned the canvassers to con- EDS themselves to their own districts. A great deal of irri tation was sometimes canned by two or three canvassers call ing upon the same person. The first week of the canvass they raised nearly 34,0001., bat ao much had not been raised since. The canvas was slightly flagging. The Matoa said if he Lad the opportunity he should urge upon the executive committee to increase the funds given weekly to the poor. He agreed with Mr. Forest that they must be cautious in the distribution of funds, and only give that which was barely necessary. Mr. WATERS, chairman of the Halms Belief Committee, said that the distress in that district was so great that acorn mittee carried out a canvass. But there was no objection to the present collecting committee going over the ground again. The relief they gave wax upon a properly orgauiscd male, the committee always taking into their consideration the condition of the applicant as well as the number of l er mine in • family. Their chief desire was to avoid raising persons above their ordinary condition in life. The rents in Manchester, except where the property belonged to milloweers, had in most cases been paid, but it was out of the wardrobes of the tenants. In many cases the committee had been obliged to give tea and sugar. At first they decided to give only bread and meal, but they found that would not do. The people had not been used to mail, and could rot sat it. Sometimes they varied their diet. last week they gave bacon and herrings, and every week the quantity and quality of the relief was varied, but nothing but what might be called necessities were given. Dr. Werra said great discrimination should be used in redeeming articles from the pawnshops. Mr. Ci.v..o said it was desirable that every canvasiet should understand that he was canvassing for one object only, and that the Central Relief Fund. There was no other business before the meeting, which was then brought to a close. FUND FOR THE RELIEF OF DISTRESS IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. The following circular is being issued by the Central Relief Committee, Manchester, to clergymen and ministers throughout the kingdom : "Town-hall, Manchester, 28th Nov., 1862. "Rev. and deer sir, —The rapid increase of the distress the manufacturing listricts induces the committee ap pointed for collecting subscriptions, to express a hope that you will kindly consent to carry out the suggestion con tained in the accompanying resolution, either by a weekly general collection in your church or chapel, or by placing boxes in some prominent place at the doors, for the special purpose. It is estimated that by this means no less a sum than 27,0001. weekly will be avail able fur the purposes of relief, if but I/. weekly be transmitted from every place of worship in the kingdom. The committee are aware that in most churches and chapels collections have already been made in aid of one or more of the funds for the relief of the existing distress ; but it is earnestly hoped that the urgency of the occasion will induce all classes to make personal sacrifices, and that you may have no difficulty in acceding to the present proposal, withoutin any degree interfering with your ordinary tomb. The committee would venture to suggest that some means be adopted to bring the subject specially before your con gregation weekly, with the view of urging esch individual to contribute sums from a penny per week upwards through this channel. We shall feel obliged if you will kindly favour us with an early reply, addressed aa directed below, and remain yours respectfully, " A BEI. REVWOOD, Mayor, Chairman. "Joni( Wm. Mactusr., Hon. Sec."

JoHs's, Sourliwant—The inhabitants of this parish assembled yesterday in the Vestry-room, under the presidency of their rector, the Rev. Her vey Lechell. A numerous committee was appointed to col lect contributions by house-to-house visitation and other wise among the parishioners at large. In the worse of the proceedings a letter was read from the Rev. Mr. Johnson, the master of Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, situated in the parish, which stated that the boy. and teachers of the school had, for the last month, contributed to the fund for the relief of those parties to the extent of from :IL to 41. weekly, and that they had proposed to keep up their con triudons to that amount for four months to come.

The Mayor presided, and it was agreed to twat to a house-to-house collection, and to appoint me nodal emninittees for the purpose. Several iitiiptilons were announced. A correspondent complains that this meeting should have differed from most others of the kind, in that the proceedings were confined to churchmen, who, with but few exceptioos, constitute the ooratnitteeir. He adds, that this exclusiveness was the more marked from the fact that the Mayor had privately sought the co-operation of the dissenting ministers of the parish, who ware all pre sent, and prepared to take part in the meeting. Hammaanaurn.—Yesterday evening, a public meeting, convened by requisatiou to the churchwardens of Hammersmith, was held in the school-rooms adjoining the parish church • the Rev.

For some years the commissioner. have been putting back tLe metropolitan gates into the country until this course is no longer possible, without calling on tM parishs to assume their proper liabi lity ■nd repair the roads.
