THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

Yesterday a meeting of unemployed overlookere
of factories was held at the Temperance Hall, John-street,
Awaits, Manchester ; Mr. Green in the chair, when the
following resolutions were agreed to. 1. That the over-
looks,* out of employ am hereby advised not to attend or
take part in any of the meetings, or demonstration' of the
worts` classes in Stevenson-square, or elsewhere, to com-
plain of the conduct of the guardians of the poor, the meet-
ing believing that the board have treated the deputations
waiting upon them with due respect, and given all the con-
sideration in their power to the representations of the un-
employed with a view to relaxing the laws as applicable to
them in a time of distress like the present. 2. That
an appeal be made to the public for funds to assist
each of the overlorkers as are desirous to emigrate
to Queensland, or sonic other of the British colonies.
3. That an application be made to the Lord Mayor of Lou•
don for • grant from the fund at his disposal to furnish
outfits tot such emigrants. After these resolutions had
been passed Mr. Lang, the honorary secretary to the com-
mittee of overlookers, read a letter which he was about to
addrees to the Times, appealing to the benevolence of the
public on behalf of the unemployed overlookera for means
to enable them to emigrate. The letter stated that there
were at present about 250 of such men plunged into a state
of great uistreas, having expended all their earniogs, and
being now utterly destitute of the means of subsistence ;
that most of these men were aoristomed to the use of car.
pesters' and mechanics' tools, and would be well listed for
emigrants ; and that seeing no prospect of an early revival
of trade, they were desirous of being enabled to go to Queens-
land, as* colony suitable for growing cotton.

THE O'DONOOHIIII AND THE HYDE PARK RIOTS.
—The following characteristic letter fmm "The O'Do-
noghue of the Glens," one of the members for Tipperary,
has been addressed to the editor of a Dublin newspaper :
" Derriquin Castle, Neuman., Oct. 13, 1862.—Sir,—As I
know that you are always ready and anxious to assist
every patriotic movement of a practical character, I beg
to enclose you 11. as my contribution to a fund, which I
hope to see collected in a very few days, for the relief of
our countrymen in Loudon who have been seriously in-
jured in the recent encounters in the park. They have
been assailed by the whole English public. In
the park they were attacked by police, by Guards,
and by civilians, and since then the Saxon press,
irrespective of pul distinctions, has poured out upon
them volumes of abuse, in language rude and brutal.
Nowhere can there be fouod more ardent lovers of Ire-
land, or men who reverence more all that Irishmen most
venerate, than amongst the poor Irish who dwell in Lon-
don. Impelled by the noblest motives, they refused to
listen to the calumniators of the Holy Father, and, Re.
' cordioglv they were assaulted by • crowd which was ea
anti-Irish as it was anti-Papal. At the hands of the
English they have received the treatment which Irishmen
invariably receive whenever they venture to oppose
English prejudices, no matter whether the score of their
optipz,sition be the mound in Hyde Park or some other
. We may question the discretion of our countrymen
10 beardiog the lion in Ilia den, but every true Irishman
mast believe that those who carried the mound would dare
much more for the canoe of the Holy Father, as well as for
the cause of Ireland. What, h , has eon the result
of this manifestation of seal. so far as the chief actors are
concerned! Some of them lie seriously injured ; others are
in gaol, sent there, carried there, and kept there by
Englishmen, while their families must either starve or go
to Hot workhouse, unless we save them. Mr. Editor, lam
sure Ireland will come to the rescue. You will gladly
forward subscriptions to London ; I will do the same if
any are sent to ma. In all sincerity and friendship I ad-
vise my emintrymen to let this matter rest, for they have
done enough to prove that they are good catholic and good
lriehmeo."
