The Discs:mime of to-day says : " On the let instant an encounter took place on the right bank of the Po, upon the Austrian fron tiers, between a body of Italian carabineera and some Austrian soldiers. " The Italians fired upon the Austrians, and after a few shots the two parties engaged in a hand to-hand contest, without regarding the boundaries. "The Austrian armed Customs guards were repulsed from Italian territory." "The Austrians were finally compelled to take to flight." Serious inundations have taken place in Tuscany. The railway between Empoli and Sienna is inter_ rupted. The Crown Prince and Princess of Pruaaia have arrived at Syracuse. FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 3, Evieinto.

The writer points out that the proclamation of the provisional government only pronounces the deposition of the King and Queen hitherto reigning, and contains no mention of the abolition of the Bavarian dynasty. EIfULISH CHARITY.—Those who have studied the subject of English charity will, I think, at once admit with me that all•glorious as it manifests itself in the deeds it does—by hand and by the vast machinery it keeps up in the form of societies, institutions, hospitals, religious 1111340014 &c.—at lout two-thirds of the amounts subscribed to associated charity sod personally distributed, comes from individuals whose clear Incomes are under I,ooot. a year. Every such call on the benevolent as this Lancashire crisis is nobly met by a proportion of alms from the comparatively poor which ought to shame that given by those of knowu great wealth. In my experience, I have eves found, in every mat crisis, the great mass of help was made up of cootn bubo's' from people of small incomes. What is the I,ooof. of the millionaire in a crisis like the present, compared with the 2s. or 3s. weekly put by for the purpose by the clean who, with difficulty, perhaps, keep one maid-servant, and yet are ever found in their own locality read y . to give a half crown to aid any case of local misery 'S.

A SINGULAR OCCURRENuE. —A few days ego two ladies, coming in the direction of Sunderland, di/covered that they were minus four Bank of England five-potted notes, which had been carefully wrapped in • pocket. handkerchief, and for safety camel in the band of one of them. In haste they returned in search of their traitors and were agreeably surprised to find the whole of the notes flying before • gentle breeze in the centre of the turnpike road. The handkerchief was nowhere to be seen, and it is believed that some person bad found it, and supposing its contents to be only pieces of valueless paper. had contented himself with what he considered the only thing worth baring.—Sunderland Taw. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1862. AMERICA. (riot out semi'. col NEW YORK, Ocr. 22. I see that some of the English sympathisers with secession in Liverpool and elsewhere are getting up a " Southern Club" for the purpose of collecting subscriptions for Confederate prisoners at the North. It may save some trouble and some money to the humane enemies of democracy to know that there are no Confederate prisoners at the North, and that there are not likely to be any, at least for more than a few days at a time. The practice of liberating the prisoners on their signing a paper pledging themselves not to serve again until ex changed has been generally adopted now by both parties, and as it saves the captors a great deal of trouble and provisions, and relieves the captured from wearisome confinement, it is not likely •to be abandoned, unless it should be found that either side fails to keep faith. I may add here that the stories so current in newspapers, both North and South, of brutal treatment of prisoners, are in ray opinion in a majority of cases either gross singe- no prisoners of war were Jai: so well fed, sTall lodged, well doctored, and well taken care of in every way, as those taken by the North in this war, because in no war has government organisation been so well supplemented by private charity, and in none has there been less vindictiveness gene rally felt towards the enemy. There is no effect of democratic institutions so well marked upon na tional character as their influence in rendering people humane and sympathetic; and I may add, that I believe in no country in the world is there leas chance of a man's suffering from hunger or disease unaided or untended than in the Northern States. Moreover, there has been no feature of this war more remarkable than the small amount of hatred or dislike of Southerners which has accompanied this tremendous expenditure of force in fighting against them. And I will even go so far as to say that I think much of the failure and disappointment undergone by the North in their contest has been due to the good nature or boa hommie, the reluctance to push matters to extremes, the teuderness for Southern feelings, the disposi tion to regard the whole affair as only ato rary falling out amongst friends with which ' been carried on. Bad they hated more t y, the operations in the field would hay more vigorous. But one good result of it eakness 41 ic or virtue, whichever you please to ilt / has un questionably been the extension of • unusual amount of tare to the prisoners, and hilly the wounded prisoners. They have shared everything the hospitals afford on equal terms with the Nor thern soldiers, whether furnished by the govern ment or private individuals. As far as the con duct of the South in this matter is etiterned, I think that it too has been maligned. p IfdiAnot be lieve any order or regulation has latefAlorced by the Confederate government, eitfferYidbiimau or vindictive in its operation. But eigsame time there is no denying the fact that tred of the Southern populace to Northerners is intense, and when directed against Federal soldiers it boxanes doubly intense. If the clamour of the newspapers and the mob had been attended to, " the black flag " would have been hoisted long ago, and the barbarous tastes and tendencies which slavery always develops would have had full play. There is no doubt whatever that Yankee bones have been carved into rings, and other ornaments, and Yankee skulls used as drinking cups, by various individuals in the Southern army. I have had proofs of the truth of these stories from divers quarters too strong to be gainsaid ; and there is no doubt, too, that Federal prisoners have been insulted by mobs, and in remote prisons have been badly fed and badly lodged, and generally neglected. But in a state of society in which an anti-slavery man is looked on as a demon, in which in our own time mobs, headed by the sheriff, burn men alive in open day, in which shooting people down unawares in the street is a recognised and legitimate mode of avenging insults, and in which a bishop of the protestant church is at one and the same time a alaveholder, a drunkard, and major general in the army, it need excite no great wonder nd no great indignation if enemies taken in battle are not very hospitably entertained. We do not expect the refinements of civilised hostility from semi -barbarians, and semi-barbarians the mass of the Southern people undoubtedly are. But the leaders are men of a different stamp, and are fully aware of all the demands which civilisation and humanity make in our day upon belligerents, and I believe have done all they can to comply with them. They have occa sionally humoured the mob in the orders and pro clamations, but no further. For instance, after Pope issued his foolish proclamation directing the army to find subsistence wherever it happened to be quartered, the Confederate government re sponded by an order directing that any of Pope's officers that might be taken prisoners should be put in irons and held as criminals, to answer for any outrages committed by the corps to which they belonged. I have it on the authority of one of those officers taken prisoner at the affair of Cul pepper's Court House, that his treatment and that of his companions in misfortune, considering the condition of the Confederate army, was excellent— no irons, no humiliation or unnecessary restraint of auy kind, and it was well understood that the order was a sop for the Richmond mob. I have no doubt this is the case in all places under the control of the Central government, and that moat of the ill-treatment complained of byFederal prisoners has occurred at the hands of local authorities iu remote places. There has cer tainly been nothing like a cruel rule or policy in the matter. We must remember, also, in listening to these complaints, that they are Blade by both sides in all wars ; and that, nevertheless, the cases are rare in which it has proved possible to fasten the responsibility on the government. The country, meanwhile, is apparently in the highest degree prosperous. I see no trace of distress or suffering anywhere. Wages are unpre- 1 cedertetlly high, farm-labourers having been paid this summer iuNew England as much as two dollars and a half a day. The two leading jewellers in New York have sold, I am informed, more goods during the past year than they ever remember to have done ; the haberdashers tell the same story. The theatres are filled every night—the trains on all the roads crowded. The exports from New York are extraordinarily large. This rise in imports, in spite of the new tariff, and in spite of the high exchange, is one of the most remarkable incidents of this extraordinary crisis.

Bd. ; in the corresponding week of last year it was 2,2881. lle. 3d. ; there is, therefore, an increase of 10,868/. tis. 5d., or 475 per cent. • but this increase has taken place almost wholly in the following 14 unions :—The increase in Ashton-under-Lyne is 1,6061. per week ; in Blackburn, 55/. ; in Burnley, 5331. ; in Bury, 501/. ' • in Chorlton 467/. ; in Glossop, 233/. • in Haslingden, 622/. ; in Manc h ester, 1,6321.; to Presto n, 1,2681. ;in Rochdale, 6391. ; in Oldham, 4311.; in Stockport, 6571. ' • in Todmor den, 2221. ; and in Salford, 4224—making a total weekly increase of 9,1081. The total weekly cost of indoor and outdoor relief alone in the last named 14 unions is 12,937!., or at the rate of 3s. 71(1. in the pound on their net rate able value of 3,702,11111!. per annum ; but it is to be re membered that this is the cost of relief alone, and does not include any other charge for which the poor rates are liable ; it is also to be remembered that fully one third of the poor-rates cannot sow be collected in the chief towns of tame unions, and that therefore thb pressure on the solvent ratepayers of those towns is heavier than that on the ratepeyen of the unions generally. I take the liberty of adding that the boards of guar dians are, as it seems to me, meeting the crisis with pru dence and humanity, and that the scheme of your committee for aiding the unemployed workpeople through your own watchfulness and authority and through the medium of re ardent local committees, is the best and most benevolent means for mitigating the trying calamity.-1 am, my lord. and gentlemen, your obedient servant, "H. B. FAZNALL. " Special Commissioner for Government." The Hos. Swazi... Lay read the following letter :—" Pen dletoir Colliery, Mancbeater, Oct. 29.—Bir,— I am instructed by the firms below-named to offer to the central com mittee 2,000 tons of small coals, to be distributed by them to the various committees for the relief of those in dis tress :—Meru. Andrew Knowles and Soca 1,400 tons ; Messrs. Knowles and Hall, 300 tons ; Means. Knowles and Stott, 300 toes ; total, 2,000 tons. I also forward you a list of the places where we are wishful they should be given, stating the quantities to be obtained from the several col lieries and wharves. The intention is, that the amount should be divided into weekly quantities, to extend over the months of November, December, January, and February ; and if the committee will communicate with our agents in their district, they can take the coal to their own depots, so that it can be distributed in small quantities.-1 remain, yours respectfully, JOHN KNOWLES. —J. M. Madura, fri." On the proposition of the High Sheriff of LANCASHIRE a vote of thanks was awarded to the donors of this bounty. Mr. 8. Amnon said he was in a position to state that the coal prvrietom in the neighbourhood of Ashton and Old ham had agreed to contribute 3,500 tons of coal. The How. SSCRZTARY read the following letter from Mr. J. G. Hubbard, H.P. :—" Bank of England, Oct. 28, 1812. Dear Sir,— In this day's Times a 'Hospital Physician ' gives warnings that cannot be too quickly heeded. He first touches the insufficient weekly allowances, and on this point it may be hoped that the administrators of the Poor-law have learnt that there is no kindness in killing by inches, and that it is more costly to remedy diatom than hunger. The second warning is accompanied with a suggestion that the defect of clothes nod blankets be supplied by emptying the pawnbrokers ' shops. This appears to me an excellent measure. The tickets should be brought to the Relief Committee, who would redeem the clothes and bedding for their former owners, and, if it be thought seminary to pre vent their being again parted with in the same way, each article might be stamped with the words ' Relief Commit tee.' If the committee approve this plan, and will sanction a special fund for the purpose of carrying Rout, I shall have greet pleasure in subscribing 100/. towards it —I remain, dear air, yours faithfully, J. G. HUBBARD.—J. W. Madam, Fol." Sit d. P. KAT,9III:777LIVORTII laid before the committee a letter from Sir George Nicholls, in which be expressed bis strong approval of the system adopted by the Menthes. ter Central Committee, and at the same time his regret at the existence of two agencies for the distribution of funds for the same object. An objection thereupon being taken that the publication of that letter might appear to involve a reflection on the separate agency of the Lord Mayor's committee, it was re solved, after discussion, that the letter should not be pub lished. Dr. Jogs Warm asked Mr. Parnell whether the board of guardians kept as alphabetical register of the pentane re lieved, so that relief committees could refer to it when they wished. Mr. Fattreatt said there was a list kept in every towtship and in every union, accessible to the members of any relief committee. In all the unions he had attended he bad earnestly urged the guardians to have lista of all persona in receipt of local relief made out and sent to the relief com mittees of the district, and, on the other hand, he had asked the relief committees !Allgood their lisle to the boards of guardians. But the list in these unions was not alpha betical, nor would it be easy to make out such a weekly bat, as the relieving oaken and their assistants had a vast amount of work to do. _ Dr. Wart% stated that a week or two ago hecalled upon the clerk to the Chorlton Board of Guardians, and that gen tleman oomplained to him that there was no unison between the Mahar Relief Committee and the Chorltoa Board of Guardians. The clerk alto volunteered the state ment that be was getting up an index, to which the relief committee might have noose at any time, and see who were in the receipt of parochial relief. If this could be dope in Clotho° it could be done elsewhere. Mr. FARIILLL ssidnacioubi thie could be eery easily done, but when he answered the question be answered u an official. Sir J. P. KAY Efftrrntworra commended the plan, in stancing its good effect by referring to the working of • similar system at Burnley. It bad bad the effect of re moving anything like jealousy between the relief wen mates and the board of guardians, and it bad enabled the relief committees at once to inertia when frauds were practised upon their voluntary visitors. The Earl of Danny said the committee were about to un dergo the misfortune of having a new Mayor of Man chester, and as this was probably the last oeoaeion they would have the benefit of the attendance of the present mayor, the committee. be (Lord Derby) was sure, would ' offer to the mayor their united thanks fur the accommo dation which be had afforded them, for his constant at tendance and presence in t►e chair, and for, the deep inte rest he had always takes in their proceedings. (Hear.) The Earl of Birroz, In wending the motion, rid he [Stamped, ld. Additional.] fully concurred in the tonne need by the noble earl who proposed it. - Colonel WILSON Parr= supported the motion, ob serving that it had been through his instrumentality that the union between the Bridgwater Hones Committee and the Committee in Manchester had taken place. And he begged to take the opportunity of offering his thanks to the Mayor of Manchester for the very courteous and reedy manner in which he conducted the correspondence arising out of that union. The Earl of Wilton, the Mayor of Blackburn, and Sir J. P. Say Shuttleworth supported the motion. Mr. COBDEN, M.P., said—Before that resolution is passed I will take the opportunity of making an observation. I have had the homer of having my name added to this committee, and the first thing I asked of my neighbour here was, " What are the functions of the general commit tee !" And I have beeid that they amount to nothing more then to attend here once a month, and remove the report of the executive committee as to the honour dose, and the diatributioe of funds. I was going to suggest to you whether the duties of the general committee might not be very much enlarged—whether it might not be employ• 3 very modally in Maiming the amount of subscriptions? I think all our experience must have taught us that, with the very best cause in the world in band, the suers of a public subscription depends very much upon the amount of activity in those who solicit it; and I think, is order to in duce us to make a general and national effort to rains addi tional funds In the peat it is only siossaary to refer to and repeat one or two factt:hat have been Mated in this report just read to us. I bud it stated that it is esti mated that the loss of wages at present is at the rate of _ 136,091/. per week represents upwards of 7,000,0004 sterling per annum ; and that is the rate at which the deduction is now being made from the wages of labour in this district. I see it stated in this report that the resources which this committee can at present foresee that it will powers to relieve this amount of distress are 25,0001. • month for the next five months, which is at the rate of 300.0001. per annum. So that we foresee at pre *sot the means of afforffiug a relief of something less than 5 per cent. upon the actual amount of the loss of wages at present incurred by the working-classes of this country. But I need not tell hon. gentlemen present, who are so practically acquainted with this dictrict, that the lose of seven millions in wages per annum is a very imper fect measure of the amount of suffering and loss which will be inflicted on this community three or four months hence. It may be taken to be ten mil lions; and that ten millions of loss of wages before the next spring is by no means • measure of the loss this dis trict will incur ; for you must take it that the capitalists will be incurring also • loss on their fixed machinery and buildings, and though perhaps not so much as that of the labourer, it will be a v l e p 7 e, large amount, and possibly in the opinion of some pen will very nearly approach it. That is not all. Mr. &mall has told us that at present the increase of the rates in this district is at the rata of 10,0001. per week. That will be at the rate of half a million per annum, and, of course, if this distress goes on, that rate must be largely increased, perhaps doubled. This shows the amount of pressure which is threatening this immediate district. I have always been of opinion that this distress and suffering here must be cumulative to a degree which few people have ever foreseen, because your means of meeting the difficulty will diminish just in proportion as the di ffi culty will in crease. Mr. Fantail has told us that one-third of the rate able property will fall out of existence, as it were, and future rates must be levied upon two-thirds. But that will be by no means the measure of the condition of things two or three months hence, because every additional rate forces out of existence • large amount of rateable property, and the more you increase your rates the more you diminish the area over which those rates are to be productive. This view of the case has • very important bearing also upon the condition of the shopkeeping class, as well as the classes of millownen and manufacturers who have not a large amount of floating capital. There is no doubt but • very large amount of the shopkeeping class are rapidly falling into the condition of the unemployed la bourer'. When I was at Rochdale the other day I heard • very sorrowful example of it. There was a poor woman who kept • shop, and she was threatened with • distraint for the poor rate. She sold the Sunday clothes of her son to pay the poor rate, and she renewed a relief ticket when she went to leave her rate. That is a sad and sorrowful exempla, but I am afraid it will not be a solitary one for • long time. Theo you have the shopkeeping class desosading to the rank of the operatives. It must be so. Withdraw the custom of 7,000,000/. per annum, which have ceased to be paid in wages, from the shopkeepers, sad the consequence must present itself to any rational mind. We have, then, soother class ; the young men of superior education em ployed in warehouses and counting-houses. A great number of those will rapidly sink to the condition in which you find the operative classes. All this will add to the distress and the embarrassment of this part of the kingdom. Now, to meet this state of things you have the pour-law relief, which is the only relief we can rely upon, except that which comes from our own voluntary exertions. Well, but any one who has read over this report of Mr. Yarnell, just laid before us, must see how inadequate this relief must be. It runs up from Is. 04d. in the pound to Is. 4d. to Is. sd. ; there is hardly one case in which the allowance is as much as is. per week for each individual—l won't call them paupers—each distressed individual. Now there is one point to which I would wish to bring the attention of the committee in reference to this subject ; it is a most important one in my appreciation. In ordinary times, when you give relief to the poor, that relief being given when the great mass of workpeople are in full employment, the measure of your relief to an isolated family or two that may be in distress is by no means the measure of the amount of their subsistence, teams we all know that in prosperous times, when the bulk of work ing people are employed, they are always kind to each other. The poor, in fact, do more to relieve the poor than any other chas. A working man and his family out of em ployment in prosperous times could get • meal at a neigh bour's house, just as we, in ourclaas, could get • meal at a neighbour's house if it was a convenience to us in making a journey. But recollect, that now the whole roam of the working population is brought down to one sad level of destitution, and what you allow them from the poor rates, Rol what you allow them from these voluntary sub scriptions, is actually the measure of all that they will obtain for their subsistence. And that being so general. producing • great depression of spirits, as well as a physical prostration, you are in great danger of the health and strength of this community suffering mikes something more be done to meet the case than, I fear, is yet provided for it. All this brings me to this conclusion—that something more must be done by this general committee than has been dose to awaken the attention of the public generally to the con dition of this part of the country. It is totally exceptionel. The state of things has no pa rallel in all history. It is impossible you could point out to me another case in which, in a limited sphere, such as we have in Lancashire, and in the course of a few months, there has been • cessation of employment at the rate of 7,000,0001. sterling per annum in wages. There has been nothing like it in the history of the world for its soddenness, for the impossibility of dealing with it, or manag ing it in the way of an effective remedy. Well, the country at large must be made acquainted with these facts. How is that to be done! It can only be by the diffusion of in formation from this central committer. An appal must be made to the whole country. if this greet destitution is to be met in any part by voluntary aid. The nation at large must be made fully aequainted with the exigency of the case, and we must be reminded that • national responsibility rests upon us. I will therefore suggest that this general committee should be made • national committee, and we will then get rid of this little difficulty with the Lord Mayor. We shall want all the co-operation of the Lord Mayor and the City of London ; and I say this committee, instead of being • Manchester or Lancashire central committee, should be made a national committee ; that from this should go forth invitations to all parts of the country, beginning with the lords-lieutenant, inviting them to be vice-presidents of this committee. Let the noble lord continue to be at the head of the general committee—the national committee, and invite every mayor to take part. We are going to have new mayors in the course of the week, and though I am sorry to lose our present one, yet when new mayors come in they may be probably more ready to take up a new under taking than if they had just bees exhausted with a year's labour. Let every mayor in the kingdom be invited to become • member of this committee. Let subecriptiou cir culars be despatched to them, asking them to organise • committee in every borough ; and let there be • secretary and hon. secretary employed. Through these bodies you might communicate information, and counteract those mis representations that have been made with regard to the condition of this district. You might, if necessary, send an ambassador to some of theme more important places ; but, better still, if you could induce them to send some one here to look into the state of things for themselves ' • because I am sure, if they did , so far from finding thatthosecalum nies that have been uttered egaioat the propertied dunes in this country being well founded, they would find instances, and Dot • few, of great liberality and generosity, and melt as, I think, would surprise any one who visited this district from the southern part of the kingdom. This could only be dot's by as active effort from the centre here, and I sub mit that we shall not be doing justice to this effort unless we give to the whole country au opportunity of co-operating in that way, and throw upon every part of the kingdom a share of the responsibility of this great crisis and emergency. 1 submit that there is every motive whe this community, as well as the whole kingdom, should wish to preserve this industrious population in health and in the possession of their energies. There is every motive why we should endeavour to keep the working population here rather than drive them away from here, as you will do if they ere Dot sufficiently fed and clothed during the next winter. They will be wanted again if this district is to revive, as we all hope and believe it will revive. Your fixed capital here is of no use without the population ; it is of no see I without your raw material. Lancashire is the richest county i in the kingdom when its machinery is employed; it is the poorest county in the kingdom when its aisekisery sad fixed [TWOPENCE capital are paralysed, as at present. Therefor* I say it is the interest, not only of this community, bat of the king dom, that this popu lation should be preserved for the time —I hope not • distant time—when the raw material of their industry will be supplied to this region. I submit then to the whole kingdom—this district as well &Atha rest— that it will be advisable, until parliament meets, that such an effort should be made as will make a national subscrip tion amount probably to a million. Short, of that it would be utterly insufficient for the case ; and I believe that with an energetic appeal made to the whole country, and an effort organised such as I have indicated, such an amount might be raised. The MATOR briefly acknowledged the compliment which had been paid to him, and the meeting then separated. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Central Executive Committee was labia at the close of the general meeting. Lord Warr prellided. The Hoe. Secretary reported that cheques for the amounts voted at the lut meeting had been for warded and duly acknowledged, and that the amount received and promised duriug the past week wee 9.1 . 751. Be. 9d. Letters bad been received from the Bishops of Durham and ' Hereford, enclosing copies d letters to their clergy. The clothing subcommittee had met and ordered the despatch of all clothing specially con signed, and voted 40.000 articles to the various district committees. Tbe sub-committee for the division of the district bad also met and carried out the duty entrusted to it. In order to prepare the report, the hoc. secretary dater he bad issued *molars to every board of guardians and rebel committee in the district, and he was therefame we iiuTaesre - I"erreiTaik; ' petted to find that in the following three small unions dis tress was becoming very severe as compared with the cor responding week last year. In the Fylde there was an in crease of 209; Garstang, 283; Hayfield, 336. Saddlewcath, 1,508. The hon. secretazy further stated that he bad received 3,000 needles from Marrs. John James and Son Radditch, and also a letter from the Rev. G. Walker, of Cheltenham, who sent the first amount to this fund, stating that a second collection had been made at the request of the Bishop of Bath and Wells in that town amounting to 1,0761. Is. 7d. Sir Jenne Kay Shuttleworth stated that be was authorised by Sir Daniel Cooper and Mr. Hamilton to inform the com mittee that the whole of the New South Wake fund wen specially appropriated to schools for youth, sewing dames for females, and the school pence of children. This fund would probably considerably exceed 15,0004, but mohair( on the basis of that sum only, he (Sir James) was de sirous to submit for the consideration of the committee a scale of distribution which, if adopted, it might be de sirable to make known for the guidance of local commit tees in their admigistration. If, ea was too probable, 250,000 f operatives were out of work at Christ mas, and one- alt of them were d ep endent on the relief committee for support, they would consist of the follow int classes : Five-tenths of that half, or 62,500, would be women ; about three-tenths, or 37,500, boys and girls ; and about two-tenths, or 25,000, men and youths. If 35,000 females attended the savant clauses. 27,500 would be left at home to attend to the families of 125,000 fac tory workmen, which, taking into account the fact that many mothers and some daughters are not at work in fac tories, would provide for domestic service. If 35,000 females were divided into MO classes of about 150 on the average, the . superintendent@ would require stipends of 18/. 15s. for six months, or 15s. per week, making a total of 4.3121. Twenty-four weeks' schooling for an average attendance of 30,000 boys and girls, at 2d. per week, would cause an outlay of 6004 and 1,0001. might be granted towards the cost of the erioolling of younger children of families in receipt of relief. The stipends of masters of 100 schools, containing 15,000 youths, would, at 30s. per week, amount in six months to 3,750/. Ds. These schools would also each require eight anistants, selected from well-qualified youths out of work, and re munerated by an extra rate of relief. The super intendence of the work of 33,000 women, the school ing of 30,000 boys and girls and of 15,000 yout hs, might thus be provided for 14,0621., and 1,0001. applied towards the school pence of the children too youog to work. The anticipated further remittances from New South Wales would provide, at least partially, for any increase of these forms of dependence beyond these limits during the next six months. It was resolved,—" That, with due regard to the local circumstances, and to the information to be given in the schedule appended to the circular issued by this committee, applications far aid from the New South Wide* fund be regulated on the basis of this estimate, on the understanding that any grant for schools for youth or sewing classes is also ap. pliableto the hiring of rooms and incidental expenses, and in sewing chases for the purchase of material to be made into clothes and distributed as relief ; that the grants from this committee will be made io support of any school or sewing class for three months, so as to enable the local committees to engage touchers and superintendents foe that period, and that applications may be received prior to the expiration of this tame forward, to enable them to renew the engagements." In reply to a letter the bon. secretary was instructed to state that the committee had already suggested a plan which would satisfactorily provide for the relief of the distress in Hurst, and that, in the meantime, the committee could only recognise the body that had received a grant. The following grants were made :—Crompton, 2001. ; Stackstead, 250/.; Pad - sham, 20014 Leyland, 1001.• Pendia bury and Swinton, 3001.; Failaworth 2001.; Manches ter, 3,500/. ; Wigan, 1.5001 .; Rochdale, 2,0004; Moseley, 4004; Moorside, 601.; if illbrook, 1501.; Ravrtenstall, 4001. Last night a numerously attended and influential public meeting of the inhabitants of Woolwich, Charlton, and Plansteed was held at the Town Hall, Woolwich, to adopt measures far assisting to relieve the existing distress is the cotton districts. The chair was occupied by Mr. John Cowen, and on the platform were Mr. W. Angeretein, M.P. for the borough of Greenwich ; the Revs. J. Conolly, minis ter!of the yard Church,Mr.De-la-Mare, incumbent of St. Thomas's Rudduck, Mr. Teal, and other influential residents of the locality. Letters were received from Alderman Sa lomon., M.P., apologising for unavoidable absence on ac count of indisposition, and enclosing 10 guineas towards the funds; from Sir T. M. Wilson. Bart., Old Charlton, enclosing a subscription of 101., and from Sir R. J. Dames, commandant, and other officers, promising co-operation with the objects of the meeting. A committee was formed for receiving subscriptions. LORD WIDITBURY'S CARRIAOE STOPS THE WAY. —During several hours yesterday, in consequence of the course adopted by the Lord Chaomllor. of bolding him levees to initiate the business of the term in the new hall of the Middle Temple, instead of at his private residence, as has been usual, there was • continuous flow of carriages freighted with gentlemen of the long robe through Temple. bar, and this so interfered with the usual street traffic as to entirely impede it. The City police undertook the duty of making the necessary arrangements to facilitate the passage of so great an influx of vehicles within the City boundaries, but the effort so overtaxed their ingenuity, that they bad to give it up in despair, and the only solution they could find of the difficulty in which they were planed was, to prevent all the omnibuses, cabs. and waggons goiag eastward from proceeding beyond the limits of the Strand until such time as tbe bar risters had paid their respects" to the official bead of their profession. This mined a regular block ali down Pickett. place so far am Somerset-house, as the vehicles referred to could neither move forward or return to seek some bye way into the City, to the great annoyance of the passengers who were M a hurry to attend to their business there. UNIVEREWTY COLLEOR, LONDON.—The first meet ing of the council for the masion 1862-1863 was held on Saturday last. A letter was read, addressed to the Presi dent by Earl Russell, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with an offer to nomieate one student of the collage recommended by the president for the privilege of com peting at an examination by the Civil Service Commission of candidates for appointment of student interpreters in China and Siam ; the limit of age to be between 18 years complete and 24 years complete. The council fixed the 20th instant for the last day of receiving applications from students whether of the present or former years. On the report of the examiners, Professor Sharpy, M.D., Professor Ei ichsen, and Professor Wilson Fox, M.D.; the Finite, Exhibition for proficiency in pathological ana tonay (3014, was awarded to Mr. Thomas Griffiths, of Dryalwyn-fawr, Carmarthenshire.
