SlR,—The following letter from Bombay was
received by medlar* the sitting of the Gerrel Committee
tide day. It will be reed with interrot as indicating the
entire conformity of opinion and operation which Is
found to subsist between the relief committees at home and
abroad. The letter was no sooner laid before the Committee
than they unanimously voted a grant of 7,0001., to be placed
at the disposal of Lord Elphinatone, Governor of Bombay,
for the relief of suffarers in that Presidency.—l em, &c.,
Oct. 28. TIIOIIEO3 Q. FINIS.

TO THE RIGHT 1101. THE LORD MAYOR OP LONDON:

My Lord,—We have been requested by the committee of
the Bombay fond for the retie( of the sufferers from the muti-
nies in the upper provinces of India, to place oureelvea In
oommunlcation with your lordship in reference to a resolution
passed eta public meeting held under your lordship's auspices
on the 26th August I'M, in the city of London, and in the
object of which we heartily empathise.
. .

2. The resoludon to which we hare been directed to call
your attention Is that which provides for the remittance to
Calcutta of the whole of the subscriptions to your fund. No
doubt the domands on the Calcutta committee in furtherance
of the object will be very heavy, but the amount of subscrip-
tions raised In that presidency is large, and substantial addi-
tions are being made to it from Madras (about 8,0001.) and
from Ceylon (about 3,0001.).
3. In our cruller presidency of Bombay we have of course
not been able to raise anything like so large en amount, our
fund amounting only to Re. 66,000 (0,8000, whilo the de-
mands on us are proportionably heavier, arising out of the
circumstance that this plara is more ready of access than
Calcutta to enilerers in the Punjaub and the provinoes in the
North-West. Our fund has already been severely tuned, not
only in providing comfortable accommodation for recent in-

dividuals and familiee, who have found their way hare, end
in sunning many to proceed home, but also in aiding the
local relief fund committees at Kurrachaa and Lahore with
pecuniary contributioas. In consequence of their urgent
representations that their means were nearly exhausted,
while there were numerous cases of sufferers in want await-
ing relief and the means of leaving the disturbed districts,
we have sent to each of them 300 f., and an appeal from the
superintendent of the Lawrence Male Asylum at Huasowleo,
has been responded to by no by a grant in aid of 300/.
4. We have reason to believe that we shall be called upon
to afford assistance and relief in numerous other cam; but
we apprehend that our sources will fail unless timely rac-
oon, is extended to us.

5. Under these chturrietances. and considering the common
purpose whkh wo have sll in view in the formation of these
Relief Fund., the committee venture to hope that they may
not be deemed tutreaeonable in earnestly soliciting that • por-
tion of the imbscriptions raised in the City of London fur the
relief of the unhappy sufferers from the mutinies and dis-
turbances in India, may be remitted to Bombay for distribu•
lion amongst those who, felling under that description, are
compelled to look for help from the Bombay Committee.
6. In the hope that this request may receive the cordial
support of your lordship and the favourable consideration of
the London Committee of Management, we have the
honour to subscribe ourselves your lordship's faithful and
obedient servants, F. lIVTCIIINPON, pro self and
