reason. Ne S
Mr. John Cheetham thought that the fatal error
committed on this occasion was that the operatives,
when they felt themselves aggrieved by the change
in the mode of relief, did not send a deputation to
confer with the committee, as they had done now.
There had been men who had sought to poison their
minds against the committee, but he was sure that
no men could have tried more earnestly to serve
them than did the members of that committee. He
regretted that they had not sought an interview
with them earlier.
The deputation then withdrew.
Now that a peaceful solutien of the d'fferences
between the committee and the discontented opera-
tives has at length been arrived at, it may not be
undesirable to advert to a few facts connected with
the matter upon which attempts have been made to
mislead public opinion concerning it. The attend-
ance required at the schools is five days of five hours
each per week. It has been said that the committee
have dealt harshly with the unemployed in reducing
the scale of relief, but the fact is that the scale of
relief here is still high as compared with that given
in other districts. An Irishman in the deputation
was pointed out, who, with his wife and three chil-
dren, is receiving 14s. per week under this scale,
and yet the average earnings of such a man in full
employ at the cotton mill would not exceed 13s. 6d.
to 14s. Taking the average of relief given in other
districts, such a man would not receive more than
10s. With regard to the ticket system, the reason
urged by one of the discontented operatives here
why he objected to tickets was that it was degrad-
ing t but the distribution by tickets has been prac-
tised in other districts and not objected to as degrad-
ing. It has been found in practice that where men
have really wanted to change their tickets into
money instead of food they have found only too
much facility. A publican is know to have paid
for all tickets the full value, and to have given the
bearers a glass of ale each into the bargain. The
strongest reason urged for making the compromise
now arrived at, and paying partly in money, is in
the case of unmarried men, who have their lodgings
to pay for weekly, and therefore require money as
well as food.

The object of this Association is to carry out certain very
desirable improvements in the structure of theatres and their
internal e•onomy. The new theatres lately erected in Paris
at the expense of the French Government have proved suc-
cessful, not only as architectural ornaments to that metropo-
lis, but have attracted popular patronage from the older and
inconven ent places of amusement. It Is proposed to aecom-
Wish in London by private ente,-prise that which in France
has been done by Government subsidy,
This Company has purchased a long leasehold in the Day-
market, whereor a theatre wi'l be erected, embracing all the
advantages and improvements to which the people of London
are entitled ; including wide entrances, roomy seats, unob-
structed passages, and good ventilation. By adopting, a more
simple plan of construction, not only is the cost of the build-
ing diminished, but the cost of management and maintenance
is materially reduced. Contracts for the performance of all
the work are before the Directors, and the amount. is safely
Within the limits of the capital. A freehold of equally ample
dimensions, and in the immediate neighbourhood, can be
obtained, and the Directors reserve the right to prefer that
site, if in the interest of the Company it shall seem to them
advisab e.

It is a matter of great regret to many persons
here that there is not more harmony of action be-
tween the Mansion-house and the Central Execu-
tive Committee. The course adopted by the former
in remitting the £5OO is thought likely to create
an impression that the Central Committee have been
dealing harshly with the operatives, and gives a
colour to the assertion that the recent outbreak was
a contest of the cotton lords versus the operatives.
Such an impression is the reverse of truth. There
are only four or five so-called cotton lords on the
Central Executive Committee the larger proportion
of the committee representing the territorial aristo-
cracy of the county and the commercial and other
interests. Great credit is given generally to the
Mansion•house Committee for the successful efforts
they have made to raise a fund for the relief of the
prevalent distress and as having been the first in the
field—but at the same time it is alleged that for
want of local knowledge and correct information,
they have been a good deal misled in the distribu-
tion of their funds, and in one instance, it is said,
in reply to a letter, they intrusted a sum of money
for distribution to a man who had not only been
the leader of a local strike, but had been connected
with the strike against the joiners and builders of
London—a man whose moral character was not
high and who had been the inmate of one of the
county gaols.

This Company has also acquired the long leasehold of
nearly an acre of land on the corner of Westminster-br`•dge,
with frontage on the bridge, in the Westminster-bridge-road,
and also on the river, facing- the Houses of Parliament ; in-
cluding the Westminster Theatre, its whole stock of scenery,
Wardrobe, property. and machinery. On a portion of this
ground will be erected, among other i uildings, a large paint-
ing-room, machinery works, and property manufactory, to
serve b th theatres.
The Directors have received an offer from Mr. Boucicault
to lease the whole at a rent - hich will pay the s-hareholders
10 per cent. on the capital subscribed ; or to manage the en-
terprise on their b-half, receiving for h's services one-third of'
the net profits, after all outgoings have been paid. The
Directors have resolved to accept the latter form of the offer,
having satisfied themselves that during the erection of the
proposed new the ttre the Westminster Theatre alone will
pay the shareholders 10 per rent. on their subscriptions. The
dividend will commence from the date of allotment, and it is
proposed shall be payable quarterly. When the buildings
are completed, which will probably occupy about four months,
a dividend of more than double that amount may be reason-
ably anticipated.
The satisf Ictory features of this enterprise are these :--It
is ba, ed on valuable and substantial prorerty, which, in its
pr( sent unimproved state is rented for £4,100 a year ; a value
which, if the property is left undisturbed, will he greatly en-
hanced by the new southern embankment, which comes on
its principal frontage. And secondly, from the moment of
the formation the Company comes into the possession of a
part of the project in full operation earning a dividend.
A large number of the shares have teen privately sub-
serib-d for.
Applicat ons for shares may be made to the solicitors of the
Company, to the Secretary at the offices of the Company, or
at the Theatre Royal, Westminster.

The military are to remain here for some days.
The courtesy and attention of Sir G. Wetherall,
commandant of the district, in his communications
with the authorities of the various towns in this
neighbourhood during the late tumults, are spoken
of in the highest terms.
