most comforting in allaying the irritation, and giving
strength to the voice. _ _

MANCHESTER COLLIERY RELIEF FUND

Yesterday the committee formed at the Mansion-
house in the mayoralty of Sir T. Gabriel, for rais-
ing a fund for the relief of the widows, orphans,
and aged parents of the men who perished in the
calamitous colliery accidents at the Oaks pit, near
Barnsley, and at Talk, in Staffordshire, held a
meeting for the appropriation of the money sub-
scribed on the occasion. Sir Thomas Gabriel, the
late Lord Mayor occupied the chair, as president of
thc committee. Mr. Gibbs reported to the meeting
that the total amount subscribed at the Mansion-
bouse, including interest, was £24,959 odd; that, in
addition, £2,800, had been subscribed at Liverpool,
and £1,150 at Halifax. In addition t.) these, again,
£29,528 odd had been collected in Yorkshire for the
relief of the Oaks colliery sufferers, and about
£13,500 for those at Talk. With these facts before
them the Mansion-house Committee, with the aid
of the local representatives, proceeded to consider
and settle a scheme of relief for the widows
and families of the sufferers by the Oaks colliery
calamity, which had been prepared from authentic
data, and partly upon the basis and experience of
that of the Hartley colliery, by Mr. W. P. Pattison,
an actuary. Previous to the meeting this document
had been most carefully scrutinized and sifted, both
in the interests of the subscribers and of the suf-
ferers, fist by the general committee at the Man-
sion-house, and afterwards particularly again and
again by Sir Thomas Gabpiel and Sir Sydney
Waterlow, after which ordeal it underwent exami-
nation at the conference yesterday, and was finally
adopted, subject to a possible rectification of a few
of the items. The investigation lasted upwards of
three hours. The effect of the scrutiny yesterday,
and at previous meetings, was to reduce the
original estimate of the actuary, with re-
gard to the Oaks colliery, by a sum of from
£7,000 to £B,OOO, which, or some part of which,
will go towards a fund for the relief in future
of sufferers by any similar calamity. In the case
of Talk, the local subscriptions amounted to about
£13,500, and the local committee had expended
about £1,300. The committee made a grant of
£1,500 to the authorities at Talk towards their
local permanent fund, or rather with the view to
recoup them their actual expenditure and something
more in the relief of the sufferers by the calamity.
Originally the Mansion-house Committee, acting on
a suggestion made to them by Lord Derby, founded
on his experience in the administration of the Lan-
cashire cotton famine fund, expressly stated in their
public advertisements soliciting subscriptions, that
in the event of the public benevolence furnishing
funds more than sufficient to meet the requirements
of that particular emergency, the balance would be
retained in the hands of trustees as the nucleus of
any similar subscriptions that should be thought
necessary at some future time to raise for the pur-
pose of meeting a like calamity. Both Sir Thomas
Gabriel and Mr. Samuel Morley dwelt yesterday
upon the wisdom of that precaution, as shown by
the event, without which the whole of the Mansion-
house fund would have been divisible, pro rata,
among the families of the sufferers by the Oaks and
Talk explosions, without reference to the absolute
requirements in either cs.se. But now, by the
operation of that saving clause, the committee will
have a very considerable surplus at their disposal—
probably as much as £12,000 or £14,000 for the
mitigation of distress consequent upon similar acci-
dents ; and, as if to confirm still more the wisdom
of that precaution, the Ferndale calamity occurs
just at a time when a surplus arises, and remains
in the hands of the trustees for disposal.
