The Rev. J. ROWSELL seconded the motion.

Mr. T. TILSON said that the Metropolitan Visiting
Association had experienced much difficulty in set-
tling its lists. They had had, for instance, an inti-
mation from the Rev. S. Hansard, the Rector of
Bethnal-green, that he should send in a list of 407
names. At present the committee had received only
20 names from him. From his parish, so to speak,
there appeared to be from 53 to 57. From him,
therefore, they might expect between 300 and 400
other names, and for these the committee would not
be prepared. Such uncertainty made it very diffi-
cult for the committee to adjust their lists. if Mr.

Hansard had sent in his names and the cases had
been inquired into the lists might have been pro-
perly balanced.
Mr. CAZENOVE suggested that the eases taken
to Miss Sellon's establishment, and which were very
urgent, might have caused some difficulty to Mr.
Hansard in making up his lists.
Sir M. WELLS inquired whether the Metropolitan
Association intended making grants to institutions
or to individuals merely.

Lord EBUIZY said the committee of the Aletropo-

litan Visiting Association had determined on not
making any grants to institutions for orphans, but
they had some money unexpended which they might
apply to keep up temporarily any existing institu-
tion that might be in want of funds.
The Rev. F. G. BLOMFIELD said that that was
very much the principle of the Mansion-house Com-
mittee. They had given money to institutions for
convalescents, but not for orphans.
Sir M. WELLS, in answer to a question from Lord
Ebury, said that there had been several bad cases
lately taken to Miss Sellon's establishment, and some
to the Royal Free Hospital, in Gray's-inn-road. He
had been over the Royal Free Hospital, and he con-
sidered it a most admirable institution. So strong,
indeed, was his feeling upon the matter that he had
proposed to the Mansion-house Committee that a
sum of £lOO should be granted to it, and his pro-
posal was at once acceded to. (Hear, hear.) IVith
regard to the effects of the pestilence which had re-
cently visited the metropolis, he might say he believed
the people generally had no adequate idea of its
severity. In the east of London there had been
7,000 deaths, but the disease had affected between
50,000 and 60,000 people who had been attacked
with cholera and diarrhoea, and who had been con-
sequently injured in their families. When the re-
turns cm. e to be fully made up the public would be
startled by them. In many districts the clergy and
local committees had literally been the salvation of
the people, and he could not speak in too strong
terms of the great labours of the clergy in the
eastern districts of London. Their exertions were
beyond all praise.
Lord Ebury, Mr. Tilson, Mr. Blomfield, Mr. Povah,
Mr. Hassard, and other gentlemen gave instances
in which the clergy had conferred immense benefit
on their poor districts in the cast of London, run-
ning the greatest personal risks in their disinterested
work.

The resolution was adopted.
Lord EBURY moved the following :—" That no
application for relief by cholera orphans, children
of parents already deceased, be received after the
Ist of October; and that it be left to Sir Mordaunt
Wells and Mr. Tilson to adjudicate upon any claims
that may arise in the interim, and to divide the same
between the two funds."
The Rev. T. J. ROWSELL seconded the motion.

Mr. HANKEY, M.P., inquired what were the num-
ber of deaths supposed to have been caused by
cholera in London during the recent visitation ?
Sir M. WELLS said about 7,000.
Mr. HANKEY, M.P.—From cholera and diarrhoea?

Sir M. WELLS—Yes ; he believed the Registrar-
General returned about 6,300 or 6,400 ; but his
lists were not complete.

The resolution was then put and carried unani-
mously, and with this the conference ended.
During the morning's work at Woolwich dock-
yard on Wednesday one of the shipwrights, named
Richard Hicks, was seized with cholera pains, and
was quickly attended by Dr. Baynes, the dockyard
surgeon. After administering the ordinary remedies
he found him sufficiently well to be conveyed to his
home, but he gradually manifested all the symptoms
of the disease, and died at 5 o'clock. Another case
of a similar kind occurred on the same day.

The following is the official return of deaths in
London from cholera and diarrhoea registered on
Wednesday, Sept. 26:

Cholera. Diarrhcea.
West districts ... 1 3
North districts 4 2
Central districts ... ... 4 2
East districts. 9 1
South districts 9* 0

Total ••• 27 ••• "•

* Four of these deaths from cholera were, registered in
the district of Bermondsey ; two occurred iu llargreavc-
square, one in Woolf-terrace, and one in Gregory-court.
