THE SUN.

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 25, 1862.

Lord DERBY continues still indefatigably to pre-
side over the meetings of the Executive Relief
Committee at Manchester. So far, as one of the
great responsible magnates living there, in the
midst of that 'miler-mg population of Lancaslaire,
the ex-Premier is fulfilling his duty as a patriotic
Servant of the Crown. But—we wonder very much
what the noble earl thinks, in the pauses of his
labours as Chairman—Nye wonder very much what
he thinks of—some sueh calculation, let us, as
the following, but just now put forth by that,
(in every sense) complete letter writer and Chris-
tian Patrician, S. G. 0., otherwise the Rev. Lord
SYDNEY GODOLPHIN OSBORNE: "Figures in a
subacription list," observes this uncompromising
writer of bold truth, "are a very fallacious gauge
of the real value, as a work of charity, of each dona-
tion. There are curates now pledged to from 10s.
to £1 a month, for three months, from salaries and
entire sources of revenue under £lOO a-year. Corn-
pare this with one or two thousands down, or by
instalments from incomes of landed proprietors, of,
perhaps, from £lOO,OOO to £160,000 a-year. In
many instances these incomes in the north have
grown from a very small value to their present
princely rent-roll by each generation of proprietors
finding their land increasing enormously in value
from the increase of the local manufacturing inte-
rests. Have these men done their duty yet ? Let
us wait for a reply, as patiently as we can, until
after the great county meeting on the 2d of the
month. What there is of wealth in Lancashire
stands now indicted by public opinion, it has to
plead, in its defence, what it has done to meet
Lancashire distress." What says Lord DERBY

to that plain speaking ? What will the ex-Pre•
Inter and his fellow landed - proprietors
there in the North, say, in answer:to S. G. 0. (ii

they venture to refer to his calculations in this par-
ticular at all), at the grand forthcoming assemblage
convened in aid of the distress, for the 2d of Be-

cember ?

Bringing the truth home immediately
afterwards to the apprehension of all, by a very
simple comparison, S. G. 0. continues par exemple :
—"My poor rates are, as the rule, between ss. and
6s. in the pound. I accepted my preferment know-
ing_ that fact ; the tenantry around me took their
la!nas on rents calculated as liable to this amount
o

year that

we have to meet, not only the 6s. rate,
011 which we calculated, but the rate then necessary
to save our Door from starving, is a call on what
we have realised--our business gone from us. I
do
hope we should our best, but I know in such
extremity others would

It is a simple, hut a most forcible, than
indeed, as it ap-
pears to us, an irresistible Way °f putting it. So
conclusive is it, to our apprehension,

section, in in all the fullness and force of its applica

uttermost, will not lay well to heart the words that
thereupon immediately follow, words articulated,
one might fancy (reading them), in a tone of
solemn abjuration to the country at large—" But I
earnestly pray at this moment to see Southern sym-

any argument drawn from the hardness of heart of
