[From the/Moe/teeter Aferetterol
A Meeting of the Geneva Committee for the Relief of the Poet I
waft held yesterday at the Police-office, pursuant to advertisement,
for the purpose of receiving a Ninth [(Tort from the Sub-Commit.
tee, and a statement of the receipt and expenditure since the come'
mencement of the charity.
Soon after eleven o'clock the Borovehreeve took the chair, When
the Rev. William Johnson, M.A., Chairman of the Sub-Commit-
tee, presented and read the following Report
To the General Committee of Subscribers to the Fund for Relief of
the Necessitous Poor.
The Sub-Committee of Management have agreed upon the fol-
lowing, as their ninth Report:—
In conformity with your directions, your Sub.Comniittee discon-
tinued the distribution of provisions, and withdrew all the tickets
preeented, on Friday the 18th instant.
Painful as this measure was (though in consequence of the re-
duced state of the fund evidently unavoidable), your Sub-Commit-
tee have the highest sattefaction of reporting to you, that the
demeanor of the wine applicant* on this occasion has afforded a
strong proof of genuine gratitude for the homely you had bestowed,
and for the kindness with which they have been 'muted ;—for
though most of them, could not but anticipate the accumulation of
distress which a privation of the accostomed pittance must bring
upon their already suffering ferniihre; even this prospect did
oot pis Bent their expression of unfeigned thank,, or their prayers
for a blessing norm their benefactors. Your Sub-Committee con.
cellos it to be a duty they owe to their poor neighbours, to bear this
testimony to their good conduct : itorl reeolleeting also (what they
halm before had coemiceto commend) their patient tesigrunion, and
peaceable endurance of the evil that has befallen them, they cannot
hut refer to such evidences of right feehng, end readiness to as
obligations (which, in this season of calamity, have
Item so generally exhibited), as most gratifying 'woofs that your
contributions havestiot been indiscriminately lavished upon "Win'
thy objects.
In their last Report your sub-committeeprecented a concise review
of their proceedings from the comntencement of their laboure ; they
now beg leave to lay before you the following abstract of their Re-
comrs, a more particular detail of which is now upon your table.
[Here follows the abstract attic accounts.l
ht the inspection of these accounts, an observation of some im-
postmee will naturally suggest itself to those who have been in the
habit of remarking the osmoses which have sometimes attended the
divribution of charitable funds. The whole charge upon this fund,
including the very heavy but indispensable articles of advertising
and printing; the stipends of upwards of twenty persons specially
appointed for the prevention of frauds; rents of some of the mines;
and wages oflabourers assisting in, and preserving order during the
distributions, amounts to liUle more than three and a half per cent.
,upon the turn espentled ; and, with respect to the, last article, It
can scarcely be considered as a charge, inasmuch as these wages
were paid to persona who would have been lit objects of relief, and
to whotu this employment was afforded, in lieu ot' a ticket, to entitle
them to provisions from the charity.
As a matter in some degree connected with the accounts, it may
be stated, that since the distribution closed, it credit-of 1,0001. in
favour of the central torumittee of correspondence for Manchester
and the titighbourbood loot been placed by the managers of the sub-
' erription in London in the hands of the banker', to be applied at
the direction of that committee.
It will also be an interesting piece of information to many, that
Considerable progress has been made, with the assistance of Mr.
31`Adarn, in preparing to carry into immediate effect a plati for the
tenpleyrnent of such of the poor as are able and willing to work
upon the public tootle, and that there is a prospect of affording the
means of subsistence front this source to great numbers of those
who are now entirely unemployed.
The Sub-Committee gladly avail themselves of this opportunity
of acknowledging the valuable servirea of Mr. Thorpe, who, at the
commencement of the subscription, professed his willingness to un-
dertake gratuitously the office of Secretary. In performing the
dune' of his office, which he has done most efficiently, his cape.
rience, particelarly in matters of detail and local practice, has fre-
quently bees of essential use to your Sub-Committee, whilst the
regularity of his arrangements has materially contributed to fedi.-
tate and to forward much of the business with which they have
been occupied.
It now only remains for your Sub-Committee to resign into
your hands the trust which you confided to their management;
and while they do this. they feel assured it will afford y. u sincere
pleasure to be informed, that during the long period in winch ail,
hare been assiduously 'employed upon this important object, the
most cordial unanimity has marked all their proceedings: and
though it was
,your pleasure. in the selection of your DeLgetes, to
associate together persons diffirring most essentially in opinion upon
subjects of the highest current, it is with unmixed satisfaction and
reelect confidence they appeal to the whole of their transactions,
and to the comprehensive record of them before you, for a proof,
that neither party prejudice nor religines distinction has ever in-
fluenced their deeieioui, or in any manner interfered with tbeclutid
they had to perform.
By order of the Sub-Committee.

Which having been ordered to be entered on the minutes. Mr.
Johnson, after passing a high eulogium en the readiness with which
Mr. Thorpe, the Comptroller of the police establishment, had
offered his gratuitous services as Secretary, proposed a vote of
thanks, expressive of the warm sense entertained by the Committee
of the valuable aid they had received from him; which was carried
unanimously ; as, on the motion of Dr. Bardsley, seconded by the
Rev. C. \V. lethelston, was a vote of thanks to the Sub-Committee,
for the very zealous and effective manner in which they have dis-
charged the important dude' of their office ; anti likewise one to
the bornughreeve and constables, for the facilities they had ren-
dered, by allowing the Committee the use of the police rooms, and
the personal assistance, when necessary, oldie clerks, &e. employed
in the police-office.
These formal matters having been disposed of, the Rev. W.
JOHNSON called die attention of the Meeting to the following pa-
ragraph. which appeared in the London Courier of Saturday last,
into which paper the Reverend Gentlemen said lie had ascer-
tained that it had been copied front the New Times and Re-
prese,datirc:—
" Relief is no longer given not to the poor ; and, consequently,
the distress appears to increase • but it is to be hoped that some
relief will be shortly rendered to the poor, either through the means
of money, food, or employment. It is in agitation to create em-
ployment for the adult poor upon the public reads, but there is
great difficulty in getting at the means which are suggested for
that purpo-e. It is known thief meetings of the Committee of
Correspondence here have been held, at which Mr. Ilycu and Mr.
M'Adam have attended, but the result of their deliberations has
net transpired, and In the mean time the poor are destitute of oc-
cupation and food. I hope their state of destitution will not drive
the sufferers to any outrages ; and I know of nothing more likely
to encourage such consequences as an opinion which is circulated
here, that the Committee in London have offered to contribute to
relieve the poor of Manchester by advancing money in proportion
to the subscription raised in the town, and to this there is an utter
aversion among the wealthy inhabitants, who say that there is a
sufficient force here to preserve tranquillity in any event, and who,
I must add, appear little disposed to tad Government in the
anxious endeavours to ameliorate the condition of the unemployed
poor, whose sufferings were the result of that excessive speculation
and of manufacture, which brought wealth to few, but poverty to
the multitude."

In regard to this statement a discussion arose, as to whether or I
not it should be replied to. There appeared to be no difference of
opinion concerning the impropriety of the language made use of,
or the great incorrectneas of its statements, any more than as to the
grOss, offootive. and unfounded assertion, with respect to the feel-
ingsand declarations of the more opulent part of the inhabitants;
but it was ultimately determined that an anonymous newspaper
assertion was not worth notice, particularly as the Committee were
then able to affoei a practical reply to the charge, that there was
an indisposition to co-operate with the London Committee in their
offers to contribute to the relief of the poor, by giving public notice
this day, that their arrangements fur setting the poor to work were
ready lobe carried into immediate operation.
In the course of a subsequent conversation which ensued it was
stated, on the authority of several of the medical gentlemen con-
nected with the Infirmary, and the statement was received with
great satisfaction, that notwithstanding the extreme suffering which
so many of the poor have undergone, there has yet been little or no
accession of disease amongst them; indeed, fever eases this year
aro stated to have hitherto been less numerous Mau last year. Two
or three members of the Committee, who had recently been In
Ireland, Mated how infinitely worse, as regarded this e ester,cres, was the condition of the poor in Dublin, than in Mnanch
owing in a great degree to the extreme want of cleanliness amongst
them, In the former place; and It was suggested, that as a mea-
sure of precaution, the poor in this town should be strongly urged to
whitewash their dwellings, and be supplied with the means of doing
so, before the approach of winter. After sonic further desultory
conversation, and ordering the audit of their accounts, the Com-
mittee separated.

f_TALL'S DIGESTIVE or DINNER PILLS.—Of
all the complaints to which the human frame is liable, few
are !mire distressing, and none are more cmumon, than a disordered
state of the stomach, arising from weakness or tkrangement in the
digestive organs, and attended with ft:dish:rice, acidity, pains in the
stowisch, giddiness, head-ache, and heartburn. To remove these
painful effivis where they exist, and to prevent their recurrence, by
giving renewed vigour and a healthy tone to the digestive power*,
‘, the express design of the above pills ; and experience has abun-
dantly proved that they are eminently calculated to produce these
important results. Ily taking them a short time before the hour of
dinner, the process of digestion is greatly assisted, and by the or-
cutout use of them, the system will be preserved in a sound and
healthy state.
As preventives of those severe bilious attacks to which some
persons are liable, these pills are decidedly recommended, and as an
effectual, though gentle aperient, they will ever prove a most va-
luable family nietEcine. They have also beer. highly useful to
persons on long voyages, and experiencing a change of climate;
and as they do not contain any preparation of calomel, no altera-
tion of diet nor confinement to the house is requisite.
