The Mansion-house Committee met yesterday,
Mr. W. Oubitt prodding. A deputation eciesiding of
tome of the members al the relief committee of the perish
of St. Fad's, Covent-garden, waited epos the committee
end presented the ettb)oitied imenorial en the stfteet of
emirmtitt The deputation consisted of the fallowing

(matey clerk).
Memorial from the Lammehire Relief Committee cif the
Parish of Saint Paul, Coyest Gorden, to the Eight
Hamarahle the Lord Mayor of Loam. Obairimet sad
**the other Noblemen and Gentlemen mambos al the
Mansion-house Committee for the Belie of leaceahm
showeth
1, That in the month of Nancialtor Yet yew memo-
ALIJA' were elected at a public ma'am of the inkohitaats
of the aforesaid pariah se • committee, "to deride upon
and carry out the best mode of collecting suheeriptkes to-
wards the relief of the t diemme ia the cotton. die-
trio! ;" whim it was " that the hied' me collected
be applied in such manner as the committee may deem
most expedient."
2 That your memorialists! accordingly organised a col.
lection of 'ascriptions and dooations throughout the
aforesaid wish, which has already produced a sum of
about 6761 of which the sum of 600& has been mid over
to the account of your honourable committee.
3. That in the said mouth of November but, and for some
time subsequently, your inemorialiste were mainly if not
entirely immune' with the necessity of providing Mod and
clothing to the distressed operatives of Lancashire and
Meshing during the then remaining elates' 'mouths, sad
they were throughout that period imbued with • Aram hope
that with the return of spring the aisle tamed by the civil
' eosin America, and the c
ud We ver produce= of oar maniac-
temea, would terminate, trade of the English cotton
districts resume somewhat of its former proportioas ; but
your memorialists sow comider that in the face of events it
would be in the highest degree rash to acticipete say speedy
revival of the cotton industries.
4. That your niemerialiate are strongly of opinion that
the experiment of Meets( half • million of the working
dame epos, charity should only he employed as • tem-
ar,expedieat daring a Meet atria, and that the epara-
trof Lancashire, though eminently grateful for the
liberality of their constryreen, have already been kept in •
state of reluctant idleness beyond the period when benefit
exams and demoralisation begins.
6. That .year memorialists are also of opinion that the
time has come for exchanging measures of palliation from
week to week for the application of some radical and per-
manent remedy.
8. That your memorialists and their a:ntibiosis song-
der a comprehensive scheme of emigration as the best
form of remedy applicable under present circumstances.
That many of the distressed operatives thenteelme have
for some time been strongly impressed with' this eoe-
sideration, that some have already left these Mares, and that
numerous societies have spontaseonsly arisen mem Mem
for the express purpose of promoting their own emigration ;
them *Gaieties, however, are unable to accomplish much in
oosegwince of their want of the necessary funds.
7. That your memorialists believe that every large section
of the home and colonial public, who bays subscribed to
the various Lancashire relief fends, and particularly to that
fund which your honourable committee primarily wit
fund
share the willingness of your memorialists that •
poition of it should be applied towards the removal from the
some of their protracted sufferings of such unemployed
operatives as may be willing and fit to emigrate.
8. That your roemorialista look forward with grave ep-
on to a maintenance of the present state of things
rutzi an
tbe ensiling summer months, and then mother winter,
and coesider that the proper course to be at owe adopted
is to provide WOW of
earipatioe for • proportion of the
suffecen, so as to leave upon the heads of the ',Gunny •
reduced number requiring support.
9. That your memorialiste madder that by handing over
to your honourable committee the funds they were ap-
pointed to collect they transferred both the discretion and
respoosibility with which their constituents originally in-
vested them, so far as the fund so paid over is concerned.
10. That your memorialists have seen with much regret
that up to this time your honourable committee has not de-
voted say part of the funds at its disposal towards the pro-
motion of what our memorialists believe to be the one
kind of " eerier to which the nation's charity might now
best be applied.
11. That your memorialists believe that her Majesty's
Emigration Commissioners are a very efficient part of the
public service, end that in the event of your honourable
committee making any grant, or obtaining special subscrip-
noes for the purpose of emigration your hosourabie com-
mittee would be relieved from much of the labour and re-
sponsibility attendant upon the diatributiom of mush finds,
and the selection of the emigrants, by obtaining the advice
and 00-operation of her Majesty's Emigration Com-

Your memorialist' therefore hope your honourable com-
mittee will take into your moat 'vinous oonsidemtioo the ex-
pediency of applying a porta, of the lands now is your
Lands towards the promotion of elagnitios Mita; these
operatives, and thus to bring about the removal of them who
are fitted for colonial life to plena when their arrival
would be hailed as ablessing, Masa of basis( them when
their mention is bitterly felt by themselves no Iwo then by
others to be a mama burden.—And your asinvorislists
will ever pray. 8. M. lLtrit&a, °batsman.
