THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

CENTRAL RELIEF FEND.—The weekly meeting of
the Executive Committee was held at Manchester, yester-
day ; Sir J. KAY Stturrkewonni presided. The boo. secre-
tary reported that the week's receipts amounted to 6,156/.
Os. 9d. Balance in the bank, 348,809 f. 16s. 7d. The boo.
secretary also presented the monthly report. which stated
that the very great increase of employment which had been
afforded in the mills during the past mouth bad enabled no
lens than 47 local committees to suspend operations for the
present. From this cantle he had not been able to obtain
returns from those districts, but he was led to believe that
out of 55,382 operatives resident to the districts in which
committees acted about 25,690 are working full time, and
16,801 were on short time. He was also happy to state
that in the districts in which local committees are still con.
tinning their labours there were 2,874 more operatives
working full time than there were last month. It must not
be forgotten that this was in addition to the 13,451 operatives
reported to have obtained full work in May. so that of the
persons usually employed in mill, about 234,642 were
• full work. 125,097 were working short time, and
180,729 were out of work. There was no doubt
that all the funds available would be absorbed
before the close of winter; for however the cow
mitten might husband their resources during summer, the
pressure as winter approached would be severe, partly owing
to the reduced resources both of the operatives and small
shopkeepers. No further great improvement could be an-
ticipated before this time next year, as already it bad
reached the equivalent of an average of three days per
week employment for the operative population ; and at at
present there are 256,230 persons in receipt of relief, there
was reasonable ground for apprehension that at least an ad.
ditiooal 100,000 would have to be supported when the
*mem arrives during which outdoor labour will be consi-
derably reduced. The cotton operative population, it was
found, contained about 224,010 males above 15, 84.100
married women, and 175,700 unmarried women and girls.
Mr. Commissioner Farnall read bin weekly report, by which
it appears that on the 27th June there was • further di-
orama of winos receiving relief in twenty-seven unions, as
compared with the previous week, of 3,661 ; making a
total decrease since the fith December of 112,761 persona.
1 The committee then made grants to the amount of 440 f.
from the employment and school fund, and of 3,610{. to
thirteen places from the general fund.

BATHS of HOMBURG, near Frankfort-on-the-
Maine. Summer Season, 1863.
The mineral waters of Homburg, as evidenced by the analysis
of the relebnted Professor Liehig, are stimulant, tonic, alters-

disorders of the stomach and other intestines. They stimulate

obstinate constipation. In cases of goat. and all other affections
unlaced by Inefficiency of the digestive }motions, the moat

of the waters is more especially recognised hr those who
drink them at their source : for then, the invigorating air of the
mountains, the gaiety of the surrounding scene, and perfect ab-
straction from the cares of the world, concur In assisting the
action of the medicinal beverage. The magnificent casino,
which, in the beauty of tie architecture. the indicloas distribu-
tion of its apartments. and the richness of its decorations, my-
passes every other edifice of the kind on the banks of the Rhine
contains saloons for balls and concern, as also for the games of
treats et quarante and roulette. Among the other attractions
may be mentioned a large and comfortable reading-room, bbe-
rally furnished with Gerson, French, English. Italian, Rim-
Etehdan, and Dutch journals; a coffee-room In
the Olympic style of decoration ; a divan, for the enjoyment of
a cigar, opening oe to a fine terrace paved with asphalt: a

Soutar's) visited the Colosseum. TLe entertainment was
varied and well chosen, and eminently adapted to amuse
and interest young people. The pupils enjoyed themselves
immensely.
