A letter was read from Elijah Hole, statist; that be had
the pleasure to inform the committee that the Wesleyan
Conference Committee at their meeting on the 14th Mat.
had resolved to mend 5,0001. to the fund at Manchester. Mr.
John Robinson King, would be the bearer of the resobitian
and the cheque.

The following letter was laid before the committee :
"Mount-street, Manchester, 17th 862.—J. W.
Madura, Erg., Manchester. Dew flir,—l Nov.,;egret very math
that absence from Manchester daring the next month will
prevent me giving personal insistence in the canvass of the
city in Lid of the relief of the existing distress. It irlie
good hands, sad I have no doubt that the trading, and ow,.
cially the mercantile community, who have largely benefited
by the staple industry of this district in the days of its prow
parity, will be glad to have the opportunity of evincing their
gratitude by liberal subwri • at the present time. I
enclose a note from a valued friend and correspondent—Mr.
J. A. Gibb, head of the firm of Messrs. John Gibb and On,,
Laden. and Messrs. Gibb, Livingston, and Co., China. He
has been a promoter on a large scale of our local
industry, and does not forget it in bad times.
Besides the 8004 referred to in the note, I
enclose cheque from Mr. G. F. Dunounoo, partner of
Masers. Gibb . Livingston, and Co. for the sum of 1001.,
besides which the China house subscribe. liberally. Their
subscriptions will come with others from the same quarter.
This example will, I trust, be followed by other merchants
connected with the Manchester export trade. I also enclose
cheque for 5001. on account of my firm, John Fender and
Co., being the second donation of that amount. Half of
all the sums mentioned herein to be for the clothing fund,
either to purchase new clothing or to relieve clothes from
pawn, in the discretion of the sub-oommittee.—l remain,
yours faithfully, " JOHN PILIFDIft."

Mr. FAZNALL directed the attention of the committee to
the fact that in stating that 90,000 persons were now being
aided by local committees of charity, he included sarong
them forty committees from whom he had mowed returns.
The returns from 20 important committees had sot yet been
seat ia.

nOestion was asked as to the rate of expenditure by the
committee at Aahton•uoder-Lyne on the net rateable value
of the property of the township.
Mr. FA/MALL said he intended to investigate this subject
and report the results to the committee. But few towns np
to Michaelmas had availed themselves of the But. in Aid
Act, but at Christmas he was satisfied that the provisions of
that act would tome into valuable operation. Some persons
bad spoken of this act as inoperative. The Stockport Board
of Guardians, for instanoe, memorialised the government
and the Poor-law Board in favour of a government grant as
the only means of aiding the population. Bat, to his know-
ledge, only one town in the Stockport Union took advantage
of the Rate in Aid Act at Michaelmas, ►nd that the town
of Stockport threw about 440(. in the common fund of the
Union, being the mom of 9d. in the pound on its net
rateable value.

—The following grants were then made :—Bamburpbridge,
1001. (with an intimation that the local committee should
be more comprehensive, and its local subscriptions
enlarged) • Furring , 125/. ; Stalybridge, 2,000/. .;

FATAL REAIILT 07 A PRACTICAL JORR.-011 Sa-
turday an inquest was held at Oldham, touching the death
of James Davenport. cottonspinner, C;own• street, Oldham.
A druggist. named Joseph Massey, and John Amami, a
pork butcher, were present, in custody, on the charge
of having caused the death of deceased. About seven
weeks ago, the deseseed, with a number of other men,
were at the Gardeners' Arms bserhouae, Cookhouse Fold,
and they agreed to have a sheep's pluck and liver
rooked. John Fernand, thinking he would play them a
practical joke, went to the shop of Kr. Maseey,druggist,
West-street, and procured some jakap, in which 110030
crotoo oil was put by the druggist. Farmed then returned
to the Gardeners' Arms, mid while the " bash" was in pro-
cess of cooking, dropped the drop into the pan, unper-
ceived by his comrades, who afterwards partook of it, with-
out suspecting what had been dose. Seven or eight of them
=h of it, and in a short time afterwards they went
one by one, very dl. The deceased, James Davenport,
who appears to have rates heartily of the food, was very ill
all the night. After partially recovering, be grew irradaally
worse, and died on Wedneeiavjthe symptoms of lus meledy
being those of dysentery and hemorrhage of the bowels.
The surpoo who made the post modest examination, said
he coosidankl that death had hem aimed by some vegetable
irritant, sad the symptoms during life, as well as the &p-
-pommies alter death, might be caused by jalap and crown
oil, but more likely b the latter. Several other wheeler
having been examined, the inquest was adjourned tin Wed-
nesday wet. It is Mated that two others who partook of
the soup an at present miry dl. The pismire were al ter-
mania admitted to bail, in their own recogoisanose of 501.
