ID absolute retirement, with one man overeat, almost old
as himself. The recluse, who died in the month of Jane

time been filling his chateau with artistic treasures of the

scarcely anything there but owls and bats, were surprised to
discover a remarkable museum. Rumour declares that than
were not lees than 7,000 paintings, bearing the names et
good masters ; elan a noble collection of arms and armour ;
a clock—quite a rh.rf louvre—of the time of Louis
and a wonderful collection of chin. All that is, however,
nothing, as there were also found 30 pieces of that famous
service of earthenware known as that of Henry IL, and of
which the few specimens, mole or legs entire, contained at
the Louvre, the HOtel de Cluny, the lkuvagot Museum, and
the collection of the Baron de Rothschild, have been par-

that the articles known as the service of Beery 11. are foe

thought Oat the best way was to transmit the funds to the

Therefore they could not conscientiously consent to the ap-

The MAYOR moved sad the Mayor of It•ocosirmdt
amoaded the vote of dumb to Sir G. V. B. Middleton for
his benevolence. The resolutirm was carried, and Colonel
Wilson Patten explained that the cheque had been sent to
the Cotton Dietrich' Relief Fund probably by mistake.
Lord EDWARD HOWARD moved a vote of thanks to the
Colony of New South Wales for their magniSeeut donation
of 5,000/. mentioned in the report. It was iadeed pleasing
to know that the inhabitants of that far distant land, many
of whom bad gone from our shores, and bad by their own
industry amassed wealth there, were not, in the promote:cis*
muaindful of the distress of their poorer brethren at home.
(Applause.) He moved, " That the announcement received
by telegram this morning from Sir Daniel Cooper am to the
contribution of 10001. from her Majesty's colony of New
South Wales, be acknowledged with • strong expression of
the feeling of generous sympathy thus shown by another of
her Majesty's most nourishing colonies with the sufferings
of some of her most loyal end industrious subjects."
The resolution was seconded by Mr. Canso and carried
unanimously.
The Maros, in announcing the receipt of several small
donation, stated that the Hon. Mr. Galt had forwarded

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH, AND MUTILATION

"To the Might Hon. the Earl of Derby.—My Lord,—We
lave received through our friends, Mama. Bei% at
Alexandria, the sure of 2001., which has been seat his
Highness Halite Pasha (brother to the Viceroy) as • na-
tion in aid of Cotton Districts Relief Fund. We as, sure
your lordship will have much pleasure in receiving
this donation from one of the Egyptian princes,
who is altogether a foreigner, and not even •
Earopean. It is pleasant to think that one so exalted
this prince, a land far away, and surrounded
by every luxury which Providence can bestow, should have
his heart touched by the distress of our Lancashire opera-
tives, and should, unsolicited, determine to help and to
mitigate their sufferings. To ourselves this specimen of the
Pasha's practical energy is nothing new. Unlike the
Eastern prince. of old, content to enjoy what Providence so
lavishly supplied. Hall= Pasha is a most active and euergetio
agriculturist ; and is continually laying out vest sums in
improving his estates and in importing most expensive
machinery. His energy and business aipacity are only
equalled by hie benevolence and kindness of disposition—
the first to do good, and glad when others follow his ex-
ample. We cannot say too mach in his praise, and feel
sure that the &maim 110 has, without comment or attest.-
Moe, placed at your lordship's disposal, will act as an incentive
to other Eastern princes to follow his example —We are,
your obedient servants, ?Hours CUM, CLARF, S Co.
" We enclose • cheque upon the Bank of England, payable
to J. Wilson Patten, Fag., treasurer."
He (the Earl of Derby), in replying to the letter of Meagre.
Cia and CM, said that he was quite sure that the Central
Relief Committee in Manchester would fully appreciate
the liberal munificence and kindly sympathy shown by
Halite Pasha towards the distressed people of Lancashire.
(Applause.) He (the Earl of Derby) thought it desirable that
some intimation on the part of the committee should be
formally made, and also that there should be a specisl an-
nouneemeut of a donation which was rather of an unusual
chars,: ter. ( A oplums.)
Sir J. P. KAY SIIIITTLZWORTH said that • confer-
ee°. of the Wesleyan body decided • short time
ago to issue • circular to their districts, requesting that
collections should be made in all the congregations coo-
neeted with their body on behalf of the relief fund, and he
had every reason to believe that the results would be sent to
the central relief committee in Manchester. It would be
borne in mind that at a former meeting it was resolved that
whenever convenient the local committee should consist of
landed proprietors, of clergy and ministers, of employers of
labour, and other suitable persons. The committee in mom
than one instance bed had to determine the preeire in-
terpretation of the words " whenever convenient,' the
central relief committee being anxious to avoid piecing the
Nods confided to them either at the disposal of persons with-
out character or iefleeece, or in the heads of committees who
neglected to associate with them the landed proprietors or
chief employ ,rs of labour, but who were composed of it:l-
-nv:llocent persons, who in some instances had even neg-
lected to raise local subscriptions. Unfortunately there
had been one case in which there bad been a certain amount
of load disagreement. A memorial had been received
from Ashtoe.underLyne, respectably and numerously
signed, complriMeg of the decision of the executive
committee, in which they recommended the constitution of
a committee is Ashton, from which the clergy and ministers
of religion were excluded. That resolution, howev-r, was
not adopted without due deliberation' and patient leveed-
talkie. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Farnall was deputed to visit
Ashton. to endeavour, if possible, to bring about a con-
current ection oe the part of all persons concerned. Mr.
Vermeil, at the last meeting, reported that he was 110111211,
ereful, and that the committee bad but this alternative—
either to keep in suspense grants to a Lowe suffering in the
