THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

A county meeting was held at Worcester on
Saturday to aid the fund for reliev,ng the clistreA in Lan-
cashire and Cheshire. The same kindly sentiments aid
sympathise which have marked every meeting called for
this purpose were heard there, but the Earl of Dudley and
one or two other speakers introduced a new feature. The
noble earl considered that the British goveronient should
give a "moral support" to the Southern States, in order
to bring the war to a close ; and the Hon. F. Lygon believed
that the time for the recoznition of the South was come.
Sir John Pakington felt it was " sufficient for the meeting
to deal with theme before it." Thebusiness of the requi-
sitionists was, he thought, to relieve and sympathise with
the distress ; other considerations might be left till the
tutor*. _ _

STOcKPORT.—The income of the Central Com-
mittee during the past week has been small. The expen-
diture for all purposes has been 1,8151. 2s. sd. The
number of perm= relieved last week by the committee and
the sewing schools was nearly 2„000 less than in the week
ending December 17. The number relieved by the gnar-
-1 diens in the town, during the same period, hes been reduced
nearly 2,000. The total number of persons relieved by the
I guardians and the committees bas been reduced from
28,000 to 24,600 during the past few weeks. This has arisen
from the improved state of trade. At the close of Novem-
ber there were only 1,424 persons working full time •
there are this week 4,323. In the former period the;
unemployed operatives were 11,044, this week they are
8,517. The estimated lose of wages in the one period
was 8,0001. per week, this week it was 6,5001. The present
mode of mild seems generally satisfactory. Of the 1,4831.
I.ls. 3d. spent is direct relief, iodependent of coal, clogs,
and clothing, 7331. 18s. sd. were given in money, 4201.
10s. Bd. in money tickets, and 3281. ss. 2d. in kind. The
returns for the week ending January 7 are as follows:
Total number of mills and workshops in the town, 90 ;
number of hands usually employed, 20,037 ; number of
hands on full time, 4,333 ; number of hands on short time,
7,187; number of hands unemployed, 8,517; including oc-
cupations not carried on in workshops, about 9,509 ; lose of
weekly wages, about 6,500/. ; total amount spent in relief
for the week, 1,8151.:3 ; number of cased relieved,
5,263; number of individuals relieved. 18334.
ROCHDALE. —The returns laid before the Roch-
dale Board of Guardians on Friday, showed another dimi-
nution in the coat of out-door relief. The number who had
during the week ended Thursday, received out-door relief
was 12,316, and the total cost of such relief was 8961. 14a. ed.
In the previous week the number was 12,716, and the
sesennt 9421. 2s. 10d. Compared with the highest paint—
the list week of November—the amount this weekis 18 per
cent. kaii, with a prospect of further diminution.
BLACKBURN. —Objection is being raised to the
system of relief adopted at Blackburn. The relief com-
mittee has taken charge of all sufferers by the cotton crisis,
and the board of guardians of the intim), orphans, &a. ;
and a few days fta about 800 of the operatives attending
the Gladstone and Mrs. Porter's industrial schools left work,
and made a demonstration in favour of an increased scale of

relief. The dispute, however, is not likely to be of any
serious easisequeitee.
_ .

WIGAN.—At the weekly meeting of the board of
guardians on Friday, it appeared from the returns of the
relieving officers that the tide of distress bad at last
reached its highest point, for not only was there no in-
, crease on the preceding week, but for the first time foe
many mouths • ems ll decrease had to be noted. The
numbers relieved were 5,790, at a cost of 3951. 195.; the
numbers last week were 5,809, and the cost 4001. 6s. Id.,
showing a decrease of nineteen in the number of person,
end of 4/. 7s. Id. sin the expenditure. Until, however, the
mills reopen, of which there at present appears no probe-
bility, a great decrease in the numbers relieved cannot be
expected.
STALYBRIDOL —The following is the return of
the state of trade in this borough for the week ending the
10th of January, as prepared by Mr. Chadwick, the chief
superintendent of police :—Cotton mills, foundries and ma-
chinists, sod bobbin turners, 66 : full time with all handi,
10 ; full time with part bands, 9 ' • short time, 33 ; stopped,
14. Heads, 11,521 ; working six days, 2,448; five days,
1,007 ; four days, Z 37 ; three and • half days, 63 ; three
days, 1,968 ; two days, 248 ; under two days, 55 ; out of
work, 5,496, namely, 5,048 factory operatives, 408 foundry
hands and machinists, and 39 bobbin turners. The fol-
lowing are the statisti,m of the local relief fund for the
week ending the 9th instant :—Number of families relieved,
3,812, comprising 13,693 persons. Amounts given in money,
3801. 18a. 11d. ; value of tickets on shopkeeper!, 2501.
13a. ed. ; to, 6311. 12.. sd. The charge, for sewing and
eduatiorial eissess, clothing, &c., raised the total expendi-
ture to 1,3771. 16s. 3d.
orhissic—The returns laid before the relief
committee this week show that 2,386 eases have been re-
lieved, representing 7,667 persona wholly, and 2,421 partly,
relieved, at a coat of 832/. 18e. 50. The guardians have re.
lieved 11,761 persons, at a cost of 8401. ; against 12,324, at
• cost of 864/. At the meeting of the guardians, the
clerk drew attention to the state of the funds. He said
the cheques signed for payment of the quarterly aocounte,
together with the sums required by the relieving officers,
would exhaust their fonds at the bank, and it would,
therefore, be necessary to say what steps should betaken to
enforce the payment of arrears of calls due by the over-
seers. The amount of arrears from Oldham was
3,2971., and the other townships were in arrears to • pro-
portionate extent. It was resolved that hula s the
amounts be paid within seven day; proceedings would
be taken against the overseers. Mr. Howarth sug-
gested that • deputation be appointed to wait on the
relief committee, to urge them to take a greater number
of people under their care. The amount of the London and
,' Manchester funds was 411,419/., and supposing that Oldham
! represented one thirtieth part of the districts affected by
the famine, its share from these !node would amount to
13,713/., and this sum, together with the amount they had
in hand, would enable the committee to expend 20,0001.
during the next twenty weeks. He thought the relief
committee ought to take this course, for unlen they did
so, he felt quite satisfied that the extraordinary calls made
upon the out townships would soon reduce the poorer
classes of ratepayers to • position similar to that of those
now in receipt of relief. The board did not offer an opinion
I on the suggestias of Mr. Howarth, and the matter was
left in abeyance. The borough magistrates have com-
mitted a man, named William Harriaot, for • month's im-
prisonment for &headily' the relief committee.
A filiTON- ENDIII-147/111. —The following is the
chief rentable's return of the state of trade in this borough
• for the present week :—Number of hands, 12,136 ; working
six days, 1,885; four days, 442; three and a half days,

I
of employment, 6,777; being 183 more persons out of em- '
ploymec t than last week.
CHORLEY. —lll consequence of the stoppage of the
mills belonging to two fines 650 more operatives have been
thrown out of emplqmeat, and 310 reduced from full time
to three and • half days per week. The present state of
employment is sa follows :—Usually employed, 4,453 ; three
days per week, 378 ; frilly employed, 1,182 ; unemployed,

WESTMINSTER.
John Williamson. William Baxter, and Marla Hale,
three flash-looking fellows, were charged with loitering
about that streets with intent to commit felony.
Sergeant Horublower, 24 B, said that at nine o'clock the
previous night he and ;nether officer were on duty in plain
clothes in Eaton-street, Pimlico, when they saw the three
prisoners walking up and down scanning the houses. Wit-
ness and the other officer crossed over to the corner of
Ranelagh-street, immediately after which the prisoners
came towards them, when Hale suddenly touched William-
son's aim and said " Slops."
Mr. Paynter (with marked surprise)—Seid what?
Witness said—" Slope."
Mr. Paynter—And what in the name of goodness does
that mean
Witness—lt means us.
Mr. Paynter—Means us! I don't understand you.
Witnen—"Slop" is what they call the police now
amongst thieves.
Mr. Paynter—ls it indeed ! It is the first time I ever
heard it.

Witases—Aod then he used another slang word, upon
which all three went away as fast as they could up Gros-
venor-place, and we followed till we met a policeman in
uniform, and then we took them into custodv.
Mr. Paynter—Do you know them'
Witness—Well; they are the daily associates of thieves.
Mr. Poynter—How long were they walking up and down
as you describe?
Witness—About a quarter of au hour or twenty minutes.
There was a burglary committed in Eburystreet only two
or three nights ago, and finding these men loitering about,
we of course knew that they meant no good.
Mr. Pay oter—Where do they live'
Witness—At a low lodging-house in Westminster, well
known as a complete den of thieves.
Prisoners denied they bad any unlawful intentions.
Mr. Payster thought there was hardly sufficient proved
to justify a conviction, as thieves must walk about as well
as other people. He discharged the accused, but said it
was probable their capture had prevented a robbery.

SOUTHWARK.
James Collins, a jolly-looking jack tar, was brought up
in custody of Herrington, 32 L an officer specially em-
ployed at the Victoria Theatre, with being drank and dis-
orderly at the door of the theatre, and assaulting the officer
in the execution of his duty.
Herrington said that the previous night, about eight
o'clock, he was on duty at the box entrance, when the pri-
soner came rolling in, and demanded admission. Witness
told him good naturedly that he had better go home and go
to bed, as he was not in a fit state to enter a theatre. The
prisoner said, " Oh, that's all my eye. I'm as right as a
trivet, and can walk a chalked line with Ivy one. On, let me
in, mate." He (the constable) told him that he could
not be admitted, and if he did not leave peaceably be must
remove bim. The prisoner then squared at him, and said
if he did not let him in be would fight him. He then made
such a disturbance that he was compelled to remove him,
and when in the street be struck witness • violent blow on
the aide of his head. He then, with the assistance of ano-
ther constable, took him into custody.
Magistrate (to the prisoner)—What have you to say in
answer to the charge?
Prisoner—Nothing particular, your honour. I have been
on a long cruise, and only got pad off on Thursday. I met
• few shipmates yesterday, and we had more grog than we
could carry.
Magistrate—But you made a noise at the entrance of the
theatre, and when the officer, is a very kind manner, re-
fused to admit you, you behaved very badly, and because be
did his duty you struck him. Audiences at theatres must
not be disturbed in that manner. (To the officer)—This
theatre has undergone a great change for the better, has it
not?

Herrington—Yee, your worship. It hes been taken by
exixeienced lessees, who have entirely renovated the build-
ing, and it is their desire to keep the place respectable, and
prevent the audience being annoyed by each unwelcome
visitors as the prisoner. The latter has expressed his regret
at what had occurred, and should not have attempted to
enter the theatre bad be not been half seas over.

THAMES.

Four dirty and rough-looking blackguards, named Jere-
miah Brian, Patrick Donovan, and Timothy Malone, Irish-
men, and Adam Andrews, an Englishman, all well known
to the police, were brought before Mr. Woolrych charged
with assaulting Mr. Thomas Miner on the Queen's high-
way, putting him in bodily fear, and taking from his person
9s. and • watch. The cam has been twice investigated by
the magistrate.
It appeared that Mr. Idleness is the chief mate of a ship,
and he went into • public-house in Royal Mint-street. The
prisoners were in the public-horse, and forced their company
on the sailor, and they were all drinking together for some
time. The prisoners at last fastened • quarrel on Mr. Min-
nese, and Donovan struck him. The prosecutor and the pi:.
soeers were turned out of the house, and Mr. Minima pro-
ceeded towards his home. On reaching Kingetreet, Tower.
hill, • savage attack was made upon him by the four mi.
sonars. He was thrown upon the ground, and while An-
drews seized him by the throat and pressed him on the ground.
and the prisoner Donovan was beating him in an unmerciful
manner with his fists, Malone and Brian began to rifle
the progenitor's pockets, and took from him a
watch, a pocket-book containing • certificate of ser-
vice and discharge and other papers, and 9e. in money.
The prosecutor wag completely disabled, and believed
he should have been killed. if a deliverer bad not appeared
in the person of John Robins, a soldier is the *1 Buffs,
stationed in the Tower. Robins was on his way to barracks,
and seeing the four prisoners over the prosecutor ill-using
and robbing him, disengaged Andrew's hand from the
prosecutor's throat, and hurled him with considerable force
evilest a shop door. He next seized Malone, whose hand wee
in Mr. Minnera's pocket, knocked him down, and then seized
Donovan. Brian, who was also rifling the prosecutor's
packets, fled. The soldier kept fast hold of Donovan and
Malone, and gave them into custody of •police-constable.
The soldier gave a particular description of Brian, and he

charge, Brian rid, said,"! know all about the row, but had

Robins clearly identified all the prisoners, and said
Andrews was eampreesing the throat of the unfortunate
prosecutor when he made his appearance, and the onset
were assaniting, ill-treating, and robbing the man.
The prosecutor also identified all the prisoners, and said
be was very much injured by them. Andrews made his
escape, but was captured half an hour afterwards.
Mr. Woolrych mid he bad seldom if ever heard of a more
determined and savage assault and highway robbery. He
was of opihion that the conduct of Robins was waand humane, and reflected great credit upon him.rrir

would be remanded foe the completion of the depositions.

Dirsrituerrva Flass.—On Saturday night, shortly
after eleven o'clock, a cry was raised that the Olympic
Theatre was on fire, just as the audience were leaving that
and other theatres in the vicinity. In • few minutes, how-
-1 ever, the statement that it was the theatre was dispelled,
as the flames burst forth from the shop and first-floor of the
house of Mr. Austin, carver and gilder, No. 57, Wych.
street, adjoining the extensive premises of Meson.
ironmongers, and nearly opposite the theatre. The steam-
engine of the brigade and several other engines arrived M
rapid succession, but it was upwards of twenty minutes
before a supply of water was obtained, the result
being that before the engines were got to work, the
whole house was in flames. The poweiful steam-engine
having, however, begun to play, the tire was confined to the
premises in which it broke out, but the house was com-
pletely destroyed, as well as its contents. It is believed
that an escape of gum the shop was the alum of the fire.
yesterday morning, about 2 o'clock, a fire, which it is
feared has been attended with fatal consequences, happened
in the premises belonging to P. Fitagibbon, a chandler, car-
rying on business at No. 96, Golden-lane, St. Luke's.
Several of the inmates fortunately succeeded in effecting
their escape by the regular means of exit, but two persons
were compelled to come down the escape to avoid being
burnt to death or suffocated. A woman who resided in the
same house, however, could not be found, and it was feared
by the neighbours and other inmates that she had perished.
fire was eventually extinguished, but not until Mr.
Fitzgibbon's premises, with the furniture and other effects,
were destroyed, sod some damage dose to the premises of
Mr. Corlett, in Gloucester-street. Unfortunately none of
the sufferers were insured for • single penny, and we re.
gret to state that their losses are considerable. The origin
of the fire at present is enveloped in obscurity.—A fire like-
wise happened on the premises of Mr. Thomas Harris, No.
2, Upper John-street, Golden-square, which was caused
from the overheating of a Turkish bath. The engines of
the parish and London Brigade were soon in attendacce, and
plenty of water being at hand, the firemen, with the aid of
the hand-pumps, managed to get the flames extinguished,
but not until considerable damage was done—Between
three and four o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in
the premises of Mr. W. Hembler (private), situate No. 2,
Walbrook-street, Eagle-wharf-toad, City-road. The pre-
mises were nearly destroyed. It is unknown whether the
sufferer was insured, or bow the fire originated.—Last night
• fire broke out in the premises belonging to Messrs. W.
Fisher and Co., varnish manufacturers. No. 17, Finsbury-
market. The fire was sot extinguished until a very salons
amount of damage was dove. The canes of the fire or
whether the property was insured or not could not be
learned.— A nother fire bsppened on the premises of Me G.
Beaker, milliner and silk mercer, No. 79. Po:moat-place,

THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.

Up to 6 o'clock on Saturday evening tbe com-
putation was tbat somewhere about 25,000 persons bad
been carried over the line, and notwithstanding the eager-
ness of the public to get into the carriages, even when the
trains were in motion, no single accident of any kind wee
reported.

last evening, however, occurrences happened at the
Gower-street and Portland-road stations which caused con-
siderable alarm. The train which left the Paddington ter-
minus at about a quarter to six reached the Portland-road
station in doe course. There it was detained for some
minutes without musing any alarm, but as the station was
speedily enveloped in steam, the passengers became alarmed
and got on to the platform. On inquiries being made em to
the muse of this, and for the delay, nothing could be ascer-
tained except the fact that the train could not enter the
tunnel as the line was not clear at Goweretreet. The solitary
porter, in reply to an inquiry whether the station maskr
could be seen, said he could not, and that he had not sees
him all day. This porter, who wore the number 124
G. W. R., did not appear to be well, and seemed quite
bewildered. The arrival of some men of the E division of
police did not tend to allay the excitement that prevailed,
and some of the passengers left the station and proceeded on
their journey by omnibus. After endeavouring to find morns
one in authority belonging to the railway witcout success,
our reporter was introduced to Mr. J. Tilley, who said he
was a shareholder in the Company, and the proprietor of the
Green Man Tavern, Euston-road. He stated that be had had
to assist some of the porters over to his house, and bathe
their heads and temples with vinegar, as they were ex:
bausted, and suffering from the effects of foul air. He
also said he had not men any station master that day.
Having waited at the Portland-road Station for nearly
an hoar, the train left at a quarter to 7, and proceeded at a
slow pace into the tunnel in the Euston-road on its way to
the Gower-street Station. It had cot gone far before
a loud report was heard, which sounded like an explosion or
the firing off of a small cannon. The effect of this was to
extinguish the gas in the compartment in which our re.
porter was sitting. A little further on a second report of •
similar nature was heard, and this being followed shortly
afterwards by another, peat alarm was ocassioned amongst
the passengers. On arriving at the Gower-street Station
inquiry was made for the station-master, but it was stated
that he was not in attendance, and so few were the servants
I of the company, that the police had to assist in taking the
tickets.

Our reporter having been informed that some of the com-
panies servant' had been injured and taken to the Univer-
sity College Hospital, he proceeded there, and bad an inter-
view with Mr. Sydney Ringer, the resident medical officer.
That gentleman said that a porter or telegraph man of the
name of James Napier, had been admitted to the hospital,
rid was still confined there. He appeared to be suffering
from vitiated atmosphere. His pules was very low and
he complained of sickness and dizziness. Hia bands and ex-
tremities were very cold, and as he got worse, he had been
put to bed. The man who brought Napier to the hospital
was also very unwell, but not so much so as to render his
detention neoemary. This man stated that they first felt
unwell about four o'clock in the afternoon. At the same
time that Napier was taken out of the tunnel, a boy was
removed in nearly an insensible state. Mr. Ringer stated
that the man Napier would in all probability be able to
leave the hospital this morning.
The trains afterwards continued running, and notwith-
standing that each of the stations were crowded with pas-
sengers and visitors we are glad to state that no further
accident occurred.
