Nobly has the call made upon the generosity of
the magnates of Lancashire been responded to. At
a single meeting One Hundred and Thirty Thou-
sand Pounds have been collected together. £130,000
sterling—subscribed within four walls upon one
occasion. It has with justice been at once spoken
of—this instant munificence—as a thing altogether

unexampled.
Worthily, from the very first, has the Earl o
DDRBY, as the most conspicuous among all the
great magnates of Lancashire, as the most conspi-
cuous alike by reason of his fair fame and by rea-
son also of his wealth, worthily from the very outset
has the noble Earl, the ex-Premier, acquitted him-
self of his weighty responsibilities by heading the
Relief Movement. By his energetic co-operation
with the chief workers in carrying out this vast
enterprise of benevolence, he has from the com-
mencement been winning golden opinions from all
sorts of men. As the indefatigable Chairman of
the Central Relief Committee, sitting from week
to week at Manchester, the noble Earl has done
his duty unflinchingly. Yesterday, although
the chair of the great meeting held in
furtherance of the interests of that self-same cause
(the aggregate meeting holden in the Town Hall of
Manchester) was occupied, out of considerations
simply of etiquette, by the Earl of SEFTON as
Lord Lieutenant of the County Palatine—the Earl
of DERBY was still the most prominent personage
on the platform, and his distinguished son and heir
the second in importance. By these two gifted and
public-spirited statesmen the customary behests of
the SOVEREIGN on closing the last session of Par-
liament by Royal Commission—behests to the
effect that the Lords and Commons of England
should return, each individual amongst them, to
his respective locality to assist personally in caring
for the general prosperity of the nation—by Lord
DERBY and by Lord STANLEY these more than
ever solemn injunctions of the Chief of the State
have been loyally and patriotically obeyed. The
speeches delivered by them only yesterday in the
Town Hall of Mauchester,though often (as oratorical
performances) surpassed by themselves, Lord STAN-
-I,RY'a in cogency and in acumen,Lord DERBY'S in all
the nobler charms and adornments lavished around
him while speaking by so perfect a Master of the
high art of Oratory—have never been equalled by
either in the depth of their significance. " Out of
the fullness of the heart—the mouth speaketh." The
words are sacred—they are inspired. Of the
literal truthfulness of those words yesterday afforded
the last, and not the least noteahle illustration. The
result is, as we have seen. Before the dispersion of
the meeting assembled yesterday in the Manchester
Town Hall, the munificent sum of £130,000 had
been subscribed for in the building.
The character of the assemblage may be most
accurately recognized by a glance down the list of
names recorded as those of the principal persons
gathered together around the Chairman upon the
platform.
most The drift of the proceedings may be the
readily understood through the medium of
the
terse and simply expressed resolution pro-
P°Bed and seconded by the various speakers.
The first of these
proposedrhesolutions, the preliminary resolu-
tion proposed in
of DERBY, it

be Speech of the Day, by the Earl
the inanufacturing districts
ran to the effect, " That

An echo, this, of the spontaneous - tributeountr
offered
upon all sides for months and months past— always
increasingly, because the merit recognised is all the
while itself perpetually upon the increase.....a simple,
honest, truthful echo, this first resolution, proposed
by Lord DERBY, and seconded by Sir ROBERT
GERARD, indubitably is, of the tribute offered be-
forehand by the whole nation to the noble and
Christian endurance displayed, under frightful cir-
cumstances, by the Lancashire operatives. The
second resolution moved, in its turn, by the Mayor
of Manchester, and seconded by the
ex-Mayor of Livei pool, added to the
foregoing, "That the excectation at first entertained
of an early mitigation of the present distress has
been disappointed by the constant increase of its
intensity, and that the subscriptions contributed
with the hope of alleviating a transient calamity
should now be increased to meet this greatly aggra-
