IVELLs admitted that that would be the case, and he therefore suggested that each committee should send to the other a list of the claims made upon it, in order that plans might be agreed upon for all the districts of the metropolis. As far as the Mansion-house Committee was concerned, he might remark that in a very short time it would naturally come to an end, and there was a disposition on the part of its members to recognise the clergy and churchwardens of the various parishes as the per petual administrators of the fund it had raised. It would of course be necessary to appoint some regular and permanent trustees, and the Mansion-house Committee knew of no other body to whom they could so well intrust their funds. The Rev. J. T. ROSWELL presumed the clergy and church-wardens would be bound by the rules laid down by the Mansion-house Committee, so that they would not come upon the fund of the Metropolitan Relief Association. The Rev. F. G. BLOMFIELD inquired whether the Metropolitan Association intended to hand over the £5,000 it had in hand at once for the purpose of relieving the claims made upon it. Mr. T. TILSON said the intention was to make quarterly grants to the clergy, taking care that each quarterly grant was duly accounted for before another was made. HAssaith said - be had received a-letter from the Bishop on this point, of which the following was a part :—" I - think the arrangements contem plated about orphans are very good. lam decidedly of opinion that the only satisfactory plan is to leave the clergy and local committees to arrange as to the destination of the children." Sir M. WELLS hoped that a proper list of orphans would be made by each committee, so that all appearance of favouritism might be avoided. From the lists sent in to the Mansion-house Committee he had to strike out a large number. There were, he was sorry to say, many cases in which, although the father had not fallen under the stroke of cholera, he was so disabled as to be of no use to his family for some time. The Rev. J. RowsELL—He was, in fact, dead to ;hem. Sic M. WELLS— Yes ; as dead to them as though death had actually removed him. Many a poor woman had a little establishment to keep up which by her own labour she might sustain, but for which her stricken husband was totally unable to assist her. He knew many such cases, and they were in the highest degree distressing. Lord EBURY proposed, "That the cordial thanks of the committee be rendered to Sir M. Wells and Mr. Tilson for the great trouble they have taken in examining and classifying the list of orphans now laid before the committee, and that the proposition of dividing the lists into two portions, as equal as they can be, for the separate action of the two committees be adopted."

On Wednesday afternoon, a conference, adjourned fromthe 19th inst., took place between ther Wednesday,epr esentaties of the Metropolitan Visiting Relief Association, of which the Bishop of London is president, and the Mansion-house Committee, for the purpose of considering the best means of uniting the two funds, so as to enable the administrators of both to work satisfactorily together in providing for, the relief, permanent and otherwise, of the large number of young persons who have been made orphans by the cholera. Lord Ebury presided, and there were present Sir Mordaunt Wells, Mr. Tilson (assistant chairman of the Surrey Sessions), the Rev. J. V. Povah, Mr. Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, Thomas Hankey, ; Mr. Hassard, the Rev. Prebendary Blomfield, the Rev. Prebendary Rogers, Mr. Cazenove, and other gentlemen. Mr. William Calvert Shone attended as honorary secretary. Sir M. WELLS said that since the last meeting he, on the part of the Mansion-house Committee, and Mr. Tilson, on the part of the Metropolitan Visit ing Society, had had consultations, and had found that the Mansion-house Committee had 505 orphans to provide for, and the Metropolitan Visiting So ciety 510, making altogether 1,015. He and Mr. Tilson had gone together through the lists, and they had struck off all those they supposed not to be pro perly chargeable to either fund. He thought that, considering the whole of the circumstances, each fund might maintain an independent course of ac tion—a plan all the more advisable, he thought, considering the mixed character of each committee. Even then there would remain the very important qUestion of orphans, which each committee must necessarily take up. During that day 19 cases had come under his own consideration in connexion with the Mansion-house Committee, and these could not, therefore, be included in such a final settlement which he intended to suggest that day. Ile presumed that, independent of the 1,015 orphans he had mentioned, there might be 60 or 80 more in connexion with each society, and the lists of these names being sent by one committee to the other might be dealt with hereafter. If they did not now deal with the lists which had already been prepared he feared they would never come to an end of their work. Mr. TILSON said that further delay would also in terfere with the due administration of the two funds. Sir M. WELLS Said it was his intention to ask the Mansion-house Committee to fix a final day on which the returns should be made up, making due provision for the cases that had come in during the last week or ten days. Then, with regard to the application of money, he thought it would be better for each society to spend the £5,000 it had in hand, and on this point it would be unnecessary for either committee to go into details. At present the Man sion-house Committee had in hand about £lO for each orphan. Lord EBVEY Said that after the distribution of The Rev. J. ROWSELL seconded the motion. Mr. T. TILSON said that the Metropolitan Visiting Association had experienced much difficulty in set tling its lists. They had had, for instance, an inti mation from the Rev. S. Hansard, the Rector of Bethnal-green, that he should send in a list of 407 names. At present the committee had received only 20 names from him. From his parish, so to speak, there appeared to be from 53 to 57. From him, therefore, they might expect between 300 and 400 other names, and for these the committee would not be prepared. Such uncertainty made it very diffi cult for the committee to adjust their lists. if Mr. Hansard had sent in his names and the cases had been inquired into the lists might have been pro perly balanced. Mr. CAZENOVE suggested that the eases taken to Miss Sellon's establishment, and which were very urgent, might have caused some difficulty to Mr. Hansard in making up his lists. Sir M. WELLS inquired whether the Metropolitan Association intended making grants to institutions or to individuals merely. Lord EBUIZY said the committee of the Aletropo- litan Visiting Association had determined on not making any grants to institutions for orphans, but they had some money unexpended which they might apply to keep up temporarily any existing institu tion that might be in want of funds. The Rev. F. G. BLOMFIELD said that that was very much the principle of the Mansion-house Com mittee. They had given money to institutions for convalescents, but not for orphans. Sir M. WELLS, in answer to a question from Lord Ebury, said that there had been several bad cases lately taken to Miss Sellon's establishment, and some to the Royal Free Hospital, in Gray's-inn-road. He had been over the Royal Free Hospital, and he con sidered it a most admirable institution. So strong, indeed, was his feeling upon the matter that he had proposed to the Mansion-house Committee that a sum of £lOO should be granted to it, and his pro posal was at once acceded to. (Hear, hear.) IVith regard to the effects of the pestilence which had re cently visited the metropolis, he might say he believed the people generally had no adequate idea of its severity. In the east of London there had been 7,000 deaths, but the disease had affected between 50,000 and 60,000 people who had been attacked with cholera and diarrhoea, and who had been con sequently injured in their families. When the re turns cm. e to be fully made up the public would be startled by them. In many districts the clergy and local committees had literally been the salvation of the people, and he could not speak in too strong terms of the great labours of the clergy in the eastern districts of London. Their exertions were beyond all praise. Lord Ebury, Mr. Tilson, Mr. Blomfield, Mr. Povah, Mr. Hassard, and other gentlemen gave instances in which the clergy had conferred immense benefit on their poor districts in the cast of London, run ning the greatest personal risks in their disinterested work. The resolution was adopted. Lord EBURY moved the following :—" That no application for relief by cholera orphans, children of parents already deceased, be received after the Ist of October; and that it be left to Sir Mordaunt Wells and Mr. Tilson to adjudicate upon any claims that may arise in the interim, and to divide the same between the two funds." The Rev. T. J. ROWSELL seconded the motion. Mr. HANKEY, M.P., inquired what were the num ber of deaths supposed to have been caused by cholera in London during the recent visitation ? Sir M. WELLS said about 7,000. Mr. HANKEY, M.P.—From cholera and diarrhoea? Sir M. WELLS—Yes ; he believed the Registrar- General returned about 6,300 or 6,400 ; but his lists were not complete. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously, and with this the conference ended. During the morning's work at Woolwich dock yard on Wednesday one of the shipwrights, named Richard Hicks, was seized with cholera pains, and was quickly attended by Dr. Baynes, the dockyard surgeon. After administering the ordinary remedies he found him sufficiently well to be conveyed to his home, but he gradually manifested all the symptoms of the disease, and died at 5 o'clock. Another case of a similar kind occurred on the same day. The following is the official return of deaths in London from cholera and diarrhoea registered on Wednesday, Sept. 26: Cholera. Diarrhcea.

A public meeting was held last evening in the Town-hall, Bethual-green, the Rev. S. Hansard, Ithe rector of the parish. in the chair, for the purpose of considering the subject of the impure and defi cient water supply to the east of London, and de vising means to obtain a pure and sufficient supply to that and the surrounding districts. The chair man, in opening the proceedings, said the special object of the meeting was to encourage agitation and inquiry on the subject for the consideration of which they had assembled. Ile believed it was now in contestibly proved that the localities in which there was an impure supply of water were first visited by cholera and every species of contagion. They were all aware that the cholera which broke out at the east end of the town recently, and with such dread ful results, was traced by the Registrar-General, Dr. Franklin, and other scientific men, to the im pure water supplied by the East London Water works, and that that water came from the river Lea, which is nothing more than a large sewer. The public were told they should boil water before using it, but such an advice was as absurd as if they were told to roast the air before inhaling it. Dr. Burgess, one of the medical officers of health for Bethnal-green, proposed the first resolution : "That it having been proved by indisputable evi dence that the water supplied to the east of London is both deficient in quantity and so impure in qua , lity that it has been one of the chief C3.II%CtS, if . nob the only cause, of the recent outbreak of cholera in that part of the metropolis, this meeting resolves that steps be immediately taken to obtain a pure and more constant supply of water." The speaker said that during the hot weather of the past summer, and at the time of the expected approach of cholera, the people of his neighbourhood were not supplied with water from noon on Saturday till the same time on the following Monday, and that when the water company were applied to to supply water on Saturday evenings in order to give sufficient to the poorpeople until Monday, they refused to do so. Dr. Sarvis seconded the resolution, Which was put and unanimously adopted. Dr. Liddle, medical officer of health for Whitechapel, proposed--" That an asso ciation be formed to be called the East London Water Supply Association, to carry out the foregoing reso lution, and with this view to put themselves in com munication with the Metropolitan Water Supply Association, to collect evidence as to the deficiency and bad quality of the water at present supplied, and to use every endeavour to induce vestries to take action in the matter, and if necessary to refer the subject to the Secretary of State, according to the provisions of the Sanitary Act of 1866." He said if housekeepers were not supplied with a suffi cient quantity of water, the fault lay with them selves, inasmuch as there was a . clausein the act of parliament by which the water companies were com pelled to supply sufficient water, if a requisition s i gn ed by four-fifths of the consumers were sent to them.—Mr. Gladding, of Whitechapel, who seconded the resolution, related an instance in which the pipes of a water closet at Wapping emptied themselves into the water tank of the adjoining house during the existence of the cholera.—Mr. Parker, the se cretary of the Metropolitan Water Suppl y Associa tion, entered into an explanation of the objects of the association, which he said was founded for the purpose of compelling water companies to afford a constant instead of an intermittent supply of water, and a purer supply of that commodity by means of improv€d filtration.—Mr. Thos. Murray, of Step ney, in giving an account of the water supply to his locality, stated that he saw some o f h is neighbours without water during three days, and others during 36 hours, the houses which were thus deprived of water having nearly 30 inhabitants .i each. The re solution was then carried unanimously, and the pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. TIIE BENEFIT OF GOING BAREFOOT.—A letter has been addressed to the Committee of tho Ladies' Sani tat Association, 8, Pont-street, S.W., by the Countess do Noai]les, on the benefit of going barefoot. There is a great deal to be said in favour of this plan, whethar we regard development, temperature, or cleanliness. Look at the magnificent gait of a barefoot Highland girl, and the elastic play of every muscle, and compare her foet with those of girls who have been tortured in boots, too short, or too narrow at the toes, the object of which seems to be to compress the foot into one unshapoly and inelastic mass, like a bootmakees " last." As to warmth, it is pretty certain that boots, as they are, quito as often make the feet as cold as warm. If people 4ve good stout boots to walk out in, and change them when they come in and sit still, it is vory well. But as for the poor thin, leaky, half-worn boots of poor women and children, they aro but a sham; they do not keep out cold and wet, and it is needless to say that people who have no boots at all cannot " catch their death" by sittin g indoors in wet boots. As for cleanliness, the thing speaks for itself. Feet freely exposed to the air aro not offensive, and if soiled by a walk would be washed or wiped as a matter of course. " The smell in a close school-room," says Madame (I 0 Noaillos, "of so ninny unwashed feet, carefully enclosed in still dirtier stockings and shoes, is very unwholesome," whereas " no oue ever felt disgusted at the little bare brown feet of the Italian peasant children." no thine v ' o s kn ' t rational that it only needs be sot going, and the s=tariz:n authoress suggests to her aristocratic fi!ic.oline of their w r i rlably a simple that they should set au example by own children to o barefoot in the . park.aik of the muscles, would allow of free aerationdlnd_ fro? play ' ht b and would necessitate cleanliness; it o elegantly sole, worn as a sandal, would o bviate some difficulties. it antique, and it would insure the sole of fitted on, after the the foot from injury a nd from contact with disgusting dirt —Medical TiTinges a CARRIED OVER TIIE FALLS OF NIA GARA . —O n the 1 2 th inst. t wo men were carried over the Niagara: Gazette. d A BOAT Falls.
