being reserved to the magistrate to restrict their

victions forfeiture was to ensue, the penalties to
range from £2O and downwards. When it was in
contemplation to devote a building in course of con-
struction to the purposes of selling liquor notice of,
such intention waFs to be given to the householders of
the locality. When three-fourths of the ratepayers
agreed that certain publichouses were not necessary
that resolution was to be decisive, and when me-
morittls were drawn up penalties were to.be enforced
in the case of the forgery of signatures.
Rev. Dr. GARRETT opposed that part of the Bill
relating to the Sunday question. In Liverpool
alone 41,149 were in favour of the entire closing of
publichouses on Sundays, and out of 1,300 publi-
cans 700 had expressed their approval of the same
project., He believed the Conference should have no
sympathy with the Bill as far as it concerned the
Sunday closing movement.

..Mr. STEIN-TR/VG rose to- addreiis th-e—ineptingpi
the Liverpool Bill, and said that, though= he agreed
with the general aims of the measure, he could nod
approve some of its details. For instance, inn
munity from increase of licence and higher assess-
ment was tobe—gra..ated to the present holders- of
public houses, which he believed to' be injadicions.
lie also thought that public houses shOuld not be
opened on .Suuday, when the workingmen had their
wages at their disposal, anl temptations to indul-
gence were strongest. But other provisions of the
bill were admirable : the fact that bonds were re- .
quired from the landlords and also their sureties for
good behaviour, and the tax and assesSment on
public houses. With regard to penalties, he con-
sidered it better to fix a minimum instead of a maxi-
mum. • With respect to the number that should
exercise the veto, he thought three fourths too large.
He concluded by moving a resolution approving the
general scope of the bill.
• • Dr. Martin, of Warrington,. and Mr. Jowett,, of
Leeds, supported the resolution, which was opposed
by Mr. Smith, a working man, who said the effect
of the bill, if carried, would be to set class against
clasS, and by -Dr. Garrett, who .said the measure
was loose in principle, and that it would tend to
increase the liquor trade. He moved an amend-
ment against that part of the proposed measure
which related to the opening of public houses
on Sundays.
The amendment was seconded by Mr. Gale, and
the disbusiiOn was continued by Mr. 'l'. Webster,
Q.C., and Mr. S. Pope, barrister-at-law ; but it
was ultimately withdrawn.
Mr. C. SIMMONDS, a
:working man, moved a
second amendment; to the effect that the licensing
power should be invested in the' ratepayers sitting
as a petty jury ; but' this was ruled out of order,
and consequently not pressed.
The debate on the substantive resolution was
then_ continued,. during which -it was ,especially
dwelt ,upon that the regulation in the bill that beer-
houses should set licences for dancing on the pre-
mises was restrictive, for hitherto in the proyinteS
no such licenses•were required, contrary to theprac.:
tie° preVailing in London.
Mr. LAWRENCE, who had charge of the bill, and.
Mr. STEINTIIAL having replied, the , resolution was
put and carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman ,
terminated the procecro.w, after which the con-
-ference adjourned.

The Distress in the East of London.

MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF FUND.

The fund now being raised by the committee, of
which the Lord Mayor is chairman, for the relief of
the prevailing distress, especially in the east of Lon-
don, amounted last evening to nearly £B,OOO, and
they had made grants in all amounting to £4,505
since Tuesday week to be distributed by local com-
mittees among the destitute people. At two o'clock
the general committee held a meeting at the Man-
sion-house. There were present :—The Lord Mayer,
Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Alderman Finnis,
Mr. Sheriff Lycett, Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. W m.
Leaf, Mr. Christopher Gabriel, Mr. W. J. Max-
well, Mr. Philip Cazenove, Mr. Robert Wigram,
the Rev. T. J. Rowsell, the Rev. F. G. Blomfield,
the Rev. Wm. Rogers, Mr. Frederick Thompson,
Mr. Henry Goschen, Mr. Alfred Rothschild, Mr.
Gilliat, Mr. John Holms, and Mr. Gibbs.
The committee started yesterday with a clear
available balance of about £4,420. There were
many deputations from the distressed districts in
waiting. A local committee from the Tower-hill
district, which is very large and wretchedly poor,
inhabited mostly by dock labourers out of work,
attended the meeting and brought under its notice,
the deplorable condition of the labouring classes I
there. Of a population of 23,000, at least 16,000
are labouring people ordinarily in the receipt of daily
wages, and hundreds are represented as standing
idle about the entrances to the docks from day to
day waiting for employment. The Local Relief
Committee are spending about £lOO a day in sus-
taining the starving prople. A case was mentioned,
among others, where the relief visitor found a man
and his daughter in almost the last stage of destitu-
tion in a wretched apartment. They had parted
with almost every available thing, except in what
they stood. The visitor ordered some instant re-
lief, and the girl went out to obtain it ; but before
she could return with it her father had died. In
St. Mary's, Newington, there is a population of
43,000—extending on the north from Dover-road,c
southward, and on the south by Kenninton-pa. r
classes.g

t of work. Many of the
mostly employed in the building trades and factories
--are ou large firms had
discharged great numbers bader poduced great des-
late severity of the weath
hreir hands, and the
titution and consequent illness. St. Mary's, White-
chapel, has a population of about 24,000, including
St. Jude's as well, and comprising all Whitechapel
north of Alie-street. Four-fifths of them are of the
labouring class, and a large proportion of them are
in want. They are mechanics,dock labourers, coster-
mongers, sempstresses, tailoresses, &C. The distress
is ascribed to want of employment, especially in the
' docks, a general paralysation of trade, the frost,
exhaustion of means, and emphatically improvidence.
The general character of the people is industrious,
though poor. The Whitechapel Relief Society has
been in active operation for about a month, distri-
buting bread, coals, and meat, and about 150 gallons
of soup daily.
The Rev. T. J. ROWSELL, a member both of the
Mansion-house Committee and that of the Bishop of
London, took occasion to say, in reference to the
destitution in Whitechapel, that on Wednesday, ac-
companied by the clergyman of the district and a
city missionary, he visited the district of St. Paul's
there, and that he never saw anything like the pre-
vailing wretchedness. The people were literally starv-
ing, and he could give names and details which he
was sure 1-; ould harrow the feelings of the commit-
tee. In places into which he went he saw children
stark naked. Again, he said, the whole waterside
trade was paral.yse,l, especially in Rotherhithe and

During the sitting of yesterday a very 'emphatic
and general protest, in which the Lord Mayor_ con-
curred, was made among the members of the com-
mittee, and especially by Mr. S. Morley; Mr. J. A.
Smith, M.P., and the Rev. W. Rogers, against the
committee, with the funds at their disposal,-under- ----
takiog to relieve ordinary' distress; the relief of
which properly devolved upon theteOr laW 'orga-
nisation, and against any part of the -fund going to
case the poor rates. They coi.tclided..that they were
a committee to mitigate purely. exceptional, as dis-
tinguished from ordinary, distress in the aggi•egate,
and especially exceptional distress among the labour-
ing classes bordering both sides of the river, where,
from a number of concurring causes, the destitution
was unprecedented.. It was elicited in the course of
the day that in severa instances local committees
'had been expressly formed to make applications to
share in the fund at the disposal of the Lord
Mayor's committee, and that little or no local effort
had been previously made, even in suburban neigh-
bourhoods with a considerable infusion of wealthy
inhabitants to relieve the exceptional distress. A
case in point was furnished in 'West Kensington,
where the rates are only 71d. in the pound, as corn_
pared with ss, and even 6s. in the pound in soraeof
the poorest districts of the metropolis. A small de-
putation from West Kensington attended yesterday
to ask for a grant, but the committee unanimously
and emphatically declined to entertain the application.
The committee yesterday made the following
grants :—To the Tower-hill district, £3OO ; St.
Mary's, Newington, £lOO ; St. Mary's Whitechapel,
£2OO ; the llaggerstone Soup Kitchen, £27 ; a dis-
trict in Saffron-hill, £25 under special circum-
stances; Lambeth (waterside district), £2OO ; St.
Thomas,. Charterhouse, £sf) ; Cow-cross Soup
Kitchen, Clerkenwell, £3O ; and the German "louse
of Mercy in Victoria-park, £25.
