THE MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE.
Yesterday, at a meeting of the working committee
at the Mansion-house, the Lord Mayor took occasion to
refer to a visit he had paid to the several temporary insti-
tutions which Mrs. Gladstone had set on foot for the re-
lief of the distress, especially among children, consequent
upon the visitation of cholera. He said he first went to
what was called the House of Charity, in Greek-street,
Soho, and was much struck with all that ho saw there.
Ordinarily that institution received people in distress, and
having fed and set them up, turned them out again at the
end of two or three weeks to seek their own living; but it I
had recently been used for the reception of orphan chil-
dren where parents had died of cholera, and certainly
they appeared to be placed in a much happier position,
so far as their surroundings went, than probably
they ever were before. But what struck him most
was the admirable manner in which the institu-
tion was conducted by educated ladies, sisters of
charity. After visiting the chapel be went into the kitchen,
and there be saw one of those ladies carving a joint of good
mutton, and serving it out among men, women, and children,
some of whom took it home. He was very hungry him-
' serf at the moment, and he confessed be longed to have a
eat from it. (A laugh.) From the House of Charity,
where he was convinced that a great deal of practical
I good was being done, he went in company with Mrs. Glad-
I stone to • refuge in Newport-market. It was originally a
slaughter-house, and on the ground floor was • sort of
casual ward, oomfortably fittreedg, which homeless ales
might eater and sleep ova- t upon • nice " shake-
down," and theta have • breakfast and turn out again
in the morning. In a room up stairs similar accommoda-
tion was afforded for women. There also he found • num-
ber of children who had been made orphans by the epide-
mic were well cared for, and under the supervision of •
lady. Thence they went to a temporary orphanage and
convalescent home, which Mrs. Gladstone bad es-
tablished at Clapton, and there in two semi.
detached houses be NM twenty-five poor 0011-
vslircent children taking dinner and ladles attending
them. At each of these places be was much pleased with
all that he witnessed, convinced that • great deal of sub-
stantial good was being done. He bad but one misgiving in
the matter, and that was, whether their condition there was
not far better than that from which they had been taken,
and whether all the kindly seal and anxiety slows by
those benevolent persons in the emergency might not be •
little overdone. There was such a thing as doing too
much ; but he must do Mrs. Gladstone and those with
whom she was suscraieted the justice to say, that in all
they were doing they appeared to be animated by a feeling
of the purest benevolence ; and it must be a matter for the
consideration of the committee whether on • future occa-
sion they might not well make her an additional groat
towards the necessary expenditure. Before separating
the committee made the following greats : Miss Marsh's
Temporary Convalescent Home at Brighton, 1001. the
Temporwy Cholera Hospital in Commercialatreet, ; ;
the itelief Committee connected with the Waage Chinch.
Bethnal-green, 201. ; the Eastern district of Whiteohagel,

The muster at' Albert-gate to-day was not on the largest
male, am was speculation over brisk. The truth is that
there had been seine heavy wagering at the clubs in the
course of the morning, which forestalled the business
which would otherwise 'have been transacted here. For
the Orset lismern Handicap, Master Richard had the call
of everything, and he would Lave been backed for a good
sum at d to 1, but most of the bookmakers having pre-

Both wheat and barley have sprouted." From Notting-

such was the ease little field work could be soccer-

Riding of Yorkshire—" Since Tuesday the weather has En-
abled our farmers to gather a fair portion of their crops
even in better condition, from drying winds; but rain cams
on heavily again last night. To-day Is mostly dry thus
far, bat the sky looks unsettled." From the Fold
Riding--" The weather for the pest week baa been
very unpropitious, much rain having fallen at intervals,
which hinders harvest operations, and the erors,
a great part of which in this district is still in
the fields, are in a critical condition." From Luiceshim
our advice, state—" Much rain has continued falling,
chiefly daring the nights ; bat with breezy days a conh-
datable breadth of the crops has been hurried elf the fields
from the fear of still further damage being sustained.
Notwithstanding the temperature is cool, there are Tay

THE FAMINE IN INDlA.—Yesterday the Log
Mayor availed himself of the opportunity afforded by
meeting of the Mansion-house Relief Committee to refer
to the horrible and heartrending accounts which Iffed
reached this country of the famine in India, and said it
might be, now that the emergency in the East of London
had passed, that the City of Leaden would be called epos
to make some great effort, such as it did ou a menioni
occasion a few years ago in the mayoralty of one of his
prodeesseore, to mitigate the far greater calamity which
had befallen our fellow.eubjects in India, by supplement-
ing the public subscription which was being raised
in Calcutta to provide food for the famishing
people. They read, he said, of thousands over
thousands of people dying of absolute starvation, and that
20,000 in Calcutta alone were living on charity fowl
day to day. The committee warmly sympathised with the
remarks of the Lord Mayor, and expressed their resdiems
to act with him if it should be thought desirable, after due
deliberation, in raising and sending out money in the hope
of assisting to May the pestilence. It has been stated by
a correspondent writing from a part of the country where
the famine is most dire, that they had "four dark months"
still before them. Sir Mordaunt Wells, a member of the
committee, bore testimony from a residence of some years
in India as to the heartrending results of previous visies-
tions of the kind. The Lord Mayor said he should llketo
knew what the feelings were of the large Indian houmemba
the City on the 'abject. The conversation then dropped
for a time, but it was conducted in such a manner aa to
leave it to be understood that the Lord Mayor would be
ready to pus himself at the heed of any movement on the
subject that might be originated, if, indeed, he might Rot
originate such a movement himself, and that the exietleg
committee would heartily cooperate with him.
METROPOLITAN Dieriher RAILWAY.— The UM-
yearly report of the directors states that good progress
continues to be made in the undertaking. The report
of the company's eneers states that the joint contractors
continue to proceed with the works in a satisfactory
manner, and as rapidly as the possession of the land can
be obtained. The directors regret, however, to may diet
in one or two portions of the line a greater delay than they
had anticipated has occurred, attributable to the ditbcully
of obtaining possession of boner property. This subject
names the continual attention of the board and its sli-
cers, and no exertions are spared to obviate all unseceestay
delay. In their last report the directors stated that a joint
committee of thedirectors of the Metropolitan and Dietz**
Companies had been appointed for the purpose,amoug °them,
of making arrangements for working the two lines to the
best advantage as one ',hem. The committee have held
numerous meolinga. and given their best considerate's to
the subject, and the result is an agreement under the seal
of the two companies, which the directors believe will lead
to very beneficial results. It provides that the Metropo-
litan Company are efficiently to work end maintain the
portions of the District line as they are successively opened

tenrihill and Brampton trains over the District railway.
