A deputation from the Local Relief Committee
formed in Limehouse attended to ask for another
grant. 'fhe committee consists of 24 vestrymen, and
is divided into four committees for a house-to-house
visitation iu the parish. The_whole committee meets
every evening, after visiting cases during the day,
and distribute relief on the recommendation of rate-
payers and medical men, and on their own know-
ledge of circumstances. The Limehouse Philan-
thropic Society distribute the relief at their disposal
later in the evening at the Town-hall, and it was
the belief of the, deputation that the epidemic would
entirely disappear from the district of Limehouse in
the course of next week. The committee granted
them £lOO and a quantity of arrowroot and other
stores, and some clothing. They also granted £25
to St. Jude's, Southwark.

necessary sometimes in the day to allow only two
minutes between the starting of the trains the usual
rule could not be applied ; but here a special
ar-
rangement has been made which is equally applicable
to any like case. A signal station has been erected
midway between the two passenger stations, and no
train may leave either end until the previous one is
telegraphed as having passed the signal station.
Even should a train from any cause come to a stand
after leaving a station there would be little danger
of a collision, because owing to the break power
provided on the Metropolitan line a train can pull
up within a distance about its own length. After
the inspection yesterday the party assembled at lun-
cheon in the Great Western Hotel. Among them
were Lord Devon, chairman of the Metropolitan
District Company ; Mr. Sheriff, M.P., Mr. Gilpin,
M.P., Mr. W. H. Smith, Mr. Pigott, Colonel Talbot,
Mr. Worms, Mr. H. Seely, Mr. M. Fenton, traffic
manager of the Metropolitan line ; Mr. Burchell,
the Messrs. Waring, Mr. Walker, &c. Lord Devon
spoke highly of the manner in which the new lines
were being constructed ; and the other directors
present expressed their concurrence with his lord-
ship. It is expected that the line from Paddington
to Westminster will be opened by the end of next
year, but its completion towards the city must de-
pend in a great measure upon the progress of the
Thames Embankment.

Up to last evening the total grants made by the
committee since the commencement of the fund
amounted to £4,550, of which £425 was voted yes-
terday, besides wine and stores.

The number of patients in the cholera wards of
the London Uospital has been reduced to 96. The
admissions during the 24 hours ending yesterday
forenoon were five (two being cases of cholera, three
of diarrhoea), the recoveries were nine, and the
deaths two. Of those remaining in the hospital, 68
suffer from cholera, 28 from choleraic diarrhoea.
The out-patients are only 84.

THE CHOLERA.

MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE.

Last evening the fund now being raised at the
Mansion-house for the relief of poor persons suffer-
ing from cholera, and their familes, amounted to
about £14,500, of which £620 odd had been received
during the last two days. Within the last week or
ten days considerable quantities of port wine,
brandy, arrowroot, corn-flour, bedding, clothing,
and other stores and commodities, have been for-
warded to the Lord Mayor by benevolent persons
for distribution among the sick and convalescent.
Three different firms of wine merchants—Messrs.
Clode and Baker, Messrs. Byass, and Messrs. Robins,
of Brighton, have each made the munificent present
of a pipe of port wine. Messrs. Morewood and Co.
have kindly afforded warehouse room for the wine
and stores, and thence they are distributed, in quan-
tities carefully apportioned by the committee through
the_ agency of the local authorities. Yesterday a
costly contribution of Liebig's extract of meat for
the production of beef-tea was made to the Committee
by Messrs. Allen and Hanbury, of Plough-ccurt,
Lombard-street. Messrs. Martin, wine merchants,
have also made a present of wine. Thus through
public and private munificence, and with the co-
operation of the local authorities, the Mansion-
house Committee are effecting a great amount of
practical good, as they have reason to know, in
nourishing and comforting the sick and relieving
the distress caused by the epidemic, and are also in
this way, while leaving it to those whom it more
immediately concerns to deal with the subject of
water supply as a predisposing cause, doing much,
as they believe, to stamp out the disease itself.
At the meeting of the Working Committee yes-
terday the Lord May or presided ; and there were
also present Sir Mordaunt Wells, the Rev. F. G.
Blomfield, Dr. A. Clark (Physician to the London
Hospital), and Messrs. Maxwell, Ripley, Wade,
Fowler, S. Hoare, A. Johnston, and R. Wigram.
The LORD MAYO?, on taking the chair, said he
wished to invite the attention of the committee to
the orphans. Ile had given the subject much con-
sideration, and his great fear was lest they drifted
into what was commonly called a balance. To that
he had a great objection. The money had been
given to them to be spent among the poor creatures
in distress from the disease and its consequences,
and it must be spent, and spent promptly, at a time
when it was most urgently needed. He suggested, I
LitAteriettA 4t prv„,,t,y go lieLOoxidvene a special meet-
.
orphans ; and it was then his intention to propose
that £5,000 be set apart for that object. In the
event of that proposition being adopted, they would
endeavour to obtain statistics as to the number of
orphans in the various districts where the distress
was most urgent, and, having done that, they would
consider how the £5,000 was to be apportioned ;
but they must not lose sight of the fact that a large
number of these orphans ought to fall on the parish,
and such as did not fall on the' parish, and became
objects more or less of the public care, were the
children with which the committee would have to
deal. The disease was, unquestionably, on the de-
crease, but the distress and misery remained, and
he believed the public were prepared give any
amount of money that might be wanted to relieve it.

Greenwich Conservative Association.

Yesterday afternoon, the first anniversary meeting of
the members of this association was held in the grounds
of Sir T. M. Wilson, Old Charlton, and was attended by
the most influential electors of the Conservative party,
accompanied by the ladies of their families, from the
three towns of Greenwich, Deptford, and Woolwich. The
bands of the Woolwich Dockyard Volunteer Artillery
and the Deptford Dockyard Rifles were present. At three
o'clock a meeting was held on the lawn immediately front-
ing Old Charlton House, the chair being occupied by Sir
T. M. Wilson. Mr. Eaktmore, the secretary, read the annual
report, which stated th4t the association now comprised
1,200 electors; that a weekly local Conservative news-
paper had been established, and that the prospects of the
association were most encouraging. Mr. Young, of Green-
wich, who addressed_ the meeting as " brother and sister
Cot servatives," moved the adoption of the report. He said
the Conservatives had been taunted with stupidity and with
opposing all progress. This he emphatically denied. The
object of Conservatism was to maintain and advance all
that exalted humanity, and there was no improvement or
change of a reasonable nature, either social, political, or
commercial, that the Conservatives were not anxious to

doubt a difficult task to separate the good from the bad, and
he certainly could not agree to swamp all the classes of the
community by giving a preponderating power to the in-
dustrial class. The working classes were the most numerous
and the least instructed portion of the population, and not-
withstanding the speeches and proclamations of Mr. Bright
and the absurd declamation of Mr. E. Beales, he held that
it would bo most dangerous to give them almost exclusive
power.. Dr. Carr, of Lee, seconded the adoption of the re-
port. Mr. P. H. Dyke, M.P. for West Kent, said the pre-
sence of so many ladies gladdened his heart, and Mr. Mill,
M.P., if present, would no doubt bo delighted to see the in-
terest they took
_in political matters, although it would
throw a damper upon the member for 'Westminster if he
had to canvass the ladies present. After referring to the
strong contest between the Liberals and Conservatives,
and the success of the latter in 'Vest Kent at the last
general election, Mr. Dyke expressed his approval of the
steps taken by the late andpresont Government with regard
to the cattle plague and the German war. The Reform Bill
of the late Government appeared to be like an unfortunate
donkey—it had no friends—everybody had a hit at it, and
one peculiarity was that those who hit the hardest were not
the Conservatives, but those members who sat on the Mi-
nisterial benches. Ho should, no doubt, be asked at a future
time by some of the electors of the county why he voted
against the bill—and probably told that he was au enemy
to progress and hated reform as a mad dog dreaded water.
Ho opposed the bill because it was peculiarly ill adapted to
remedy those evils which all admitted to be now existing,
and if carried would have destroyed the proper balance
between the county and borough representation. Mr. Glad-
stone made a great flourish of 'trumpets about giving poli-
tical rights to working men, and at the same time. inserted
a clause in the bill to disfranchise that industrious and re-
spectable class the dockyard voters. The Conservatives
were accused of being filled with some undefined dread and
horror of the working classes. But ho utterly denied that
imputation. It was very observable that at all the declama-
tory public meetings recently held resolutions were not
passed in favour of Mr. Gladstone's bill, but in favour of
universal suffrage and the ballot. It was, therefore, clear
that if the bill had been carried it was not to have been
deemed a settlement of thequestion, but only as a stepping
stone to violent and destructive measures, and this had been
openly avowed by Mr. Bright in the House of Commons.
Ile would gladly see the franchise enlarged, but only on
the basis of the constitution. Mr. Dyko concluded by
urging unity in the Conservative ranks, as they would
have to be engaged soon in another struggle. The report
was adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed
the proceedings.
The Earl and Countess of Mount-Edgeumbe have
arrived at Bowhills, Selkirk, N. 8., on a visit to the Earl
and Countess of Palkeith, from the Earl and Countess of
Lichfield's seat in Staffordshire.

Mr. R. B. WADE said he had gone into the figures,
and he thought £5,000 in the rough would provide
for 100 orphans; £5O a head would be about the
whole cost, but it would be more likely to be £6O.
The LORD MAYOR said he only wanted to see the
money spent where it was really wanted. He de-•
sired, if possible, above all things, to avoid falling
into the misfortune—for misfortune it was—of
allowing, as in the case of the Patriotic Fund and
others, the moneys intrusted to them to drift into
the hands of a banker in the shape of a balance..
There must, from the accounts laid before them, be
many sufferers, and it would be a difficult problem
to solve, but solve it they must.

Mr. J. A. SMITH, M.P., urged upon the committee
the great necessity of establishing temporary homes
in the open country, and in places easily accessible
by rail, for the treatment of convalescents. He
dwelt upon the state of squalor and wretchedness
in which thousands of the poor were living in the
eastern parts of London as something inconceivable
to those who had not witnessed it, and he stated
that if the committee were prepared to take the mat-
ter up the necessary funds would be forthcoming in
abundance. A letter addressed to the Lord Mayor
by Miss Sellon, from the Temporary Cholera Hos-
pital in Commercial-street, Whitechapel, was read.
The writer stated that observing in the report of the
proceedings of the Mansion-house Committee in the
Times of yesterday that much stress was laid on the
necessity of providing some place for the reception
of persons recovering from cholera, she desired to
bring under their notice the fact that one of the
wards in the hospital there had been devoted to that
purpose, and that she is in a position to receive any
patients recommended by the medical superintendent
of the hospital.
A letter addressed to the committee by the Rev.
J. Cohen, rector of St. Mary's, Whitcehapel, was
read. He stated that their seven lay agents—namely,
city missionaries and readers, three Bible-women,
and two nurses—were hard at work all day long
ministering to the sick. He had employed in ad d
tion four other persons to assist in the work.

Mr. R. WIGRAM, chairman of the Poplar and
Southlßromley Relief Committee, with a population
of about 54,000, reported that the number of deaths
in the last five weeks in Poplar alone waz 529, or
about 106 on an average weekly. They had relieved
551 families in money and kind in that time at a cost
of £745 15s. ; their local subscriptions, including
£2OO from the Mansion-house Committee amounting
to £O9O odd. They had relieved 478 existing cases of
