My Lord.—Having arrived in England I take this oppor

With the general facts of it I presume you are already
officially acquainted through the representations of her
Majesty's Minister at Washington. In order, however, to
remove any erroneous impreesam which may exist through
public report or otherwise, I shall respectfully request veer
lordship's &Weikel to a brief patentees of the outrages to
which I, In eommoa with others, have been exposed in the
States of Alabama and Tennessee.
Explanatory of my being in Americo, I may here say that

state that shortly after going there I was notified to attend

for killing his master. I declined on the ground of slimier,
which excuse was accepted by the court.
le:st Februery I was arrested as a oonscript in my own

are also happy to elate, that of those who are still without

there are not a few who have beau enabled to remain in she

heleggpshered in.
Dena, the het two or three mouths it has bow evident
that seesiderable awnings of able-bodied moo, acting upon
the reoommendatiou of your committee, have prudently
availed themselves of the opportunities of obtaining work
in adjaceot counties.
The serious often el work from even disbud places have
been gladly Weed ; sad it is with no little satisfaction that
your committee are able to state that the reports received
as to the conduct and intelligence of the penons engaged
are of the most gratifying character.
The pressure upon the feats of the committee, and
upon the rates, has undergone a considerable 'Wootton sines
June, the present expenditure of the Iced committees being
at the rate of 38,4561. per month ; but it must not be la-

From the retorts presented by your honorary secretory
to-day, it will be sees that there are at purest 85,264 per-
wee reosimag out-door relief from the guardians only ;
70.403 from the local committees ; and 49,594 whose relief
froui the 'modems is supplemented by the local commit-
tees—thus making • total of 205,261 persons relieved.
addition, there arell,4ll persons receiving in-door relief.
When this number is compared with the rewrite for the lest
weak in January, it will be found that the reduction of the
Lumbers of recipients of relief is upwards of a quartered a
million.
The weekly lase of wages by factory operatives was, ea
the 28th Febessrj last, reported to be 165,72.1; whilst at
present it is believed to be only at the rate of 130,1711. per
week, thus showing that about 55,5641. more per week are
now being earned, irrespective of such sums as m be
gained by pawns ordinarily employed is the mills tithe

The coupe which your committee adopted in requiring
mme return in out-door labour afforded has been ot great
advantage to the health of the indigent population ; sad St
is the mon beneficial as it boa prepared them for the
exposure which must necessarily attend employment
under the Public Works Act about to be brought

Mr. Rawlinew, the engineer appointed to report up,. a,.
works proposed to be undertaken by the local autt.dyass.
has favoured your committee with the followinp araeantoot

Lacy places are urgently required, thus benefiting their
respective di.tricta, out will bear in mind that the facilities
thus aft. .rded by the legislature are principally intended for
I the employment of the indigent cotton operative population
at fair and remunerative wages. In some CMOS it will us-
emearily erase, when able-bodied men with large families
mideavour—possibly for the first time iu their lives—to earn
their living by out-door occupation, that they may be phy-
sically unable to obtain such wages as would support these
in health and strength. Under these eircumu.seess, el-
though your committee have always opposed any principle
which involved supplementing wages, they consider them-
selves justified in autborisiag the local committees, for a
very limited period, to make such additions se the nature of
each case may demand. The committee cannot hope that
tie wages obtained will be equivalent to the mentors of a
family at swill ; but they trust that they may, by energy,
be made sufficient for adequate maintenance.

Your committee feel mire hesitation is expertise too
definite an opinion as to the prospects of the cotton trade
for the wet twelve or eit,Stetoi months, but they cannot
overlook the favourable reports which various well-informed
members of their body have, from time to time. presented
to them. Without defining the exact number of days per
week for which the aoticlpated supply of cotton will afford
employment donee the next year, they have every TOMO
