THE MANSION -HOUSE METROPOLITAN
DISTRESS FUND.

The committee of influential gentlemen who have
undertaken the administration of the funds provided by
the public for the distress unhappily prevailing indifferent
parts of the metropolis assembled again yesterday under
the presidency of the Lord Mayor. There were present
Alderman Salomon., 51. P., Alderman and Sheriff Water.
low, Mr. Alfred de Rothschild, Archdeacon Hale the
Rev. F. G. Bloomfield, Mr. P. Cazetiove, Mr. Sheriff
Lycett, loc. There were a great many deputation, from
different districts of the metropolis, and they comprised
the following parishes:- Deptford, St. George's-in-the-
East, Ratcliffe, Heaton, Limehouse, Mile-end New Town,
Bethnal-green, and St. George the Martyr, Southwark.
The committee took a great deal of pains to ascertain
the exact quality of the distress that wax existing,
and whether the parties who required relief came
within the special circumstances for which the fund
is being raised, and in one or two instances they required
further information before they decided upon the applica-
tion. From the statements that were made by some of
the gentlemen forming the deputations who attended the
committee yesterday it is to be feared that there is an
immense amount of distress at present existing among the
working classes, especially in the poorer districts of the
metropolis, and but for the change that has taken place in
the weather, that distress would have been aggravated to a
most frightful extent. The committee made among other
grants yesterday one of 3001. to BetbnaLgreen, where an
immense amount of misery end poverty prevails, and indeed
it may almost be said that this is the normal condition of
the district ; 300/. to St. George's.in-the-East 200/. to
Deptfonl, 50/. to Kilburn, 150/. to Shsdwell, 250/. to St.
George the Martyr, Southwark, and 25/. towards the esta-
blishment of a soup kitchen in the Ratcliffe-highway dis-
trict. Some smaller sums were voted to other districts,
and the total amount of the grants made during the day
was 1,6001.
The fund being raised at the Mansion horse continues to
progress satisfactorily, more than 6001. being received yes-
terday alone. Among the sums sent to the Lord Mayor
were-General and Mrs. Molyneux Williams, alt. ; the em-
ployes at Messrs. Ellis, Howell, and Co.'s, 10f. 10s. ; the
Hon. Miss Arden, 101 ; Mr. James Minet, 51. ; Mr.
Henry Tull, 101. ; Mr. Falwanl Ind, 10/. ; Mrs. Philip
Lucas, 10/. ; Mr. G. G. Scott, LA., 10/. ; Mr. Edward
Lamb, ; Lund, Wanklin, and Co., 25/. ; balance of a
former subscription at Lloyd's, 2001. ; Mr. G. Charlton,
10/. ; rindlater, Mackie, and Co., 101. 10s. ; Nicholson,
Maude, and Co., 211. ; the Scriveners' Company, 21/. ;
Mr. Octavio. Wigram, 101. ; Henry Grace and Co.,
101. 10a. ; Messrs. Jinks and Holt, 10/. 10s. ; Mews. Ro-
bertaen Brothers, 201. ; Messrs. Dnwes and Sons, 10/. 10s.
and the Countess of Macclesfield, 71. 12s. The total
amount received up to yesterday evening very nearly ap-
proaches 4,0001.
