Mniiuiitg; the Lord Bishops of Bedford and Rochester : mid the Members of the }Liiisii>u House Committee for Promotiii;^ the Eiiii^^rtitioji of the Unemployed. M\ Lords, — Sir A. T. Gult. G.C.^^ '' has thought it conxcnient tn leave lliif^laiul without venturing to notice the contents of the communications hereafter introduced, and to state to me in writing his intention of so doing. This is equivalent to a public defaulter seeking immunity and escape from trial and punishment on account of the accident of his position, and the laxity of public interest or prosecution. It is, however, the last resource of cowardice and guilt ; and I claim Sir A. T. Gaits speechless flight as not merely affording satisfactory evidence of the full truth of all my allegations against him and his allies, but also as a tacit naming of the hour when it becomes my duly to give these letters to the public, and pursue further measures of warning. The copies of the enclosures referred to in the communications I have had the honour to address to the I>ord Mayor, which are deposited in London. Xottingham and elsewhere, are not litted in tlicir present condition to point out a tithe of the dangers your Lordsliips have escaped, of becoming the dupes of decorated schemers, or the yotent but unconscious instruments for concealing great crimes. Therefore, I shall make it a further duty at an early da\- to unmask the councils of these fugitive men. and point to some of those who have been entrapped in their snares, and, being too weak to • escape, are following the dishonouring groove of profitable fraud and limited hability. The closing paragraph of Sir Alexander T. (raits letter .elates to the communication I had the honour to address to the Right Honourable Karl Granville, on the 21st March. nSSa. Sir A. T. Gait's llight leaves his case in a position so utterly hopeless and self-condemning that it will be incumbent upon me, in the interests of public safety, to communicate copies of this correspondence to the e.xalted authorities named and concerned in the matters to which my letter to Earl Granville relates. 17. Pari: Valley, Ncttiugham, May jth, 1S.S2. I have the honour to be. Your obedient Servant, HENRY YOULE Hh\U, M.A. Ti> till- Rii^lil Hon. tilt' Lcnl Mayor, Mnnsion House, Loiitlvii. My Lord, I read the announcement made by Sir. A. T. Gait at the recent meeting of the Mansion House Committee respecting his immediate departure for Canada without surprise, although I think thai he ought not to leave the country before he answers in full my charges, and I respectfully protest against his sudden flight from inquiry. This protest is the natJiral sequence of the letters, with enclosures, 1 had the honour to address to your Lordship on the 12th and 14th April, as enumerated below. (') I trust that your Lordship will be satisfied that the fear of Sir A. T. Gait to meet me face to face in open and unrestricted Court, {)r in any free public discussion, concerning his conduct during the past four years, as indicated and represented in the letters named in the margin (-) is sufficient indirect evidence of his participation in unlawful, unpatriotic, and money seeking acts and operations. I may also hope that the increasing success of my eflbrts and warnings, as recently evinced by the failure of the Mansion House Committee to attain the end for which their benevolence, jointly with that of your Lordship, has been so cruelly enlisted by Sir A. T. Gait and his allies, affords additional illustration of the weight of my charges, and the evils they are intended to counteract. I see in the collapse of the work in which the Mansion House Committee had been induced to engage, the birth of higher aims fitted to enlist, and better methods suitable to direct the benevolence of your Lordship and some of those who constitute the Mansion House Committee, when freed from the presence of the originators of the recent movement to promote the emigration of the unemployed in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway. I presume that the misleading representations made by Sir A. T. Gait and his allies of Bartholomew House and Fenchurch Street, from time to time, will now begin to be understood by t'ne public, together with their intrigues from the date when the scheme of Mr. Cyril Graham, of the Hudson Bay Company, as foreshadowed on page 95 of the Blue Book, entitled "Correspondence relative to the Canadian Pacific Railway," (•') was first presented to members of the Canadian Government in 1S71. (*) A correct knowledge of these intrigues and a forecast of the e.xposure which must necessarily follow, may lead to the adoption of wise and unselfish methods for bettering the condition and means of the uninstructed and self-helpless poor, and for the systematic relief of the unemployed. It is indeed a majvellous ■• omen of better times," that the cultured and decorated accessories to vast misrepresentation, who wear tlie insignia with the legend '' (luspiciiiiit iiul'ioris wvi," should appear before the people of Ivngland in the role of Apostles of Benevolence, and meet with the icy scorn of silent unbelief. I shall now shortly close my second visit to England for the purpose of unmasking vast misre- presentation and unexampled fraud, but before my departure I desire respectfully to place in your Lordships hands, in common with others, a record of my work in this relation, ('') to which, in its entirety, and not in detached parts, I may require at some futuro time to appeal.

I (U) this, not merely as the hasis of my present representation, but to show, as is my right, that I have strictly pursued my work openly and fearlessly, without partisanship or hidden motive, care- fully avoiding any ground whatever for just reproach or misleading imputation. It is more than probable that events will soon happen compelling reference to these documents, and from them it will be seen on whom the grave onus must lie of refusing, or neglecting, to look at proffered proofs of gross misrepresentation and much dishonour, (in all particulars complete), in time to prevent painful or disastrous consequences. Meanwhile, I beg respectfully to say that many thoughtful men will be disposed to believe that no inconsiderable portion of the increasing distress which presses upon the helpless and uninstructed poor of this nation, and which must shortly tax your great benevolence to the uttermost, and perhaps your generous forbearance, has arisen from the countenance which society in England affords to those cultured high otVicials whose dealings and practices I have outlined in the various documents respectfully submitted with this communication. I may further -.cnture to add that measures for the successful emigration of the unemployed, and the relief of e-xisting and impending distress, should be regarded as a problem in science which admits of no practical solution other than that which is based upon the solid foundation of unrestricted and unembellished tki'th. I have notified Sir A. T. Gait of the transmission of this letter to your Lordship, and of my protest against his leaving the country at this juncture, also that it v/ill be incumbent upon me, for obvious reasons, to give this letter to the public at the proper time.

Sir, — I have the honour to inform you that I have this day transmitted to the Lord Mayor of London a letter with enclosures, in which I have respectfully protested against your leaving the country as announced, without formally and fully replying to the various charges I have made from time to time relative to your public conduct during the past four years. I have also intimated to his Lordship that it will be incumbent upon me, for obvious reasons, to give my communication to his Lordship to the public at the proper time.
