1 THE HOUSELZSS POOR. The foHowing letter has been addressed by Mr. ?small, Metropolitan Inspector of Poor Laws, to the President of the Poor Law Board, on the sub- Oct of the houselees poor of the metropolis : • ' Poor-laig Board, Whitehall, &W., Dec. 30, 1864. —I have the 'honour to submit to you the following eismarks on the subject of the homeless poor of the metro polis, and of the act of hat session (the 27 and 29 Viet., si 116) known as the "Metropolitan Homeless Poor Act." Is 1863 returns were obtained by your direction from De several metropolitan unions and parishes showing the intent of the aocommodatiou provided for destitute eagrsnts and wayfarers, and the numbers who either received or who were refused a night's lodging during the first week of each of the months of January, March, May, and August 1863. It appeared from these returns that in the sure. date, sooommodatioa was provided in the several metropo plan workhouses for 997 pumas, but that the woommode- Men was very unequally distributed. The conclusion which yon formed on examining the returns was, that in some seisms **provision foe vagrants and wanderers was suth sleet, while is Wien it was manifestly inadequate, so that a serious and unequal Muthea was throws on the former Is compared with the latter. The atiostioa of the Poor. law Baud bad on several meadow bees preriewdy directed to the same subject, and the board had *gamily referred to, the defects in the mode of administering relief to wagelints and homeless poor in the metropolitan dietriet, and had endeavoured to induce boards of guardians to dio dot* the obligatios which rented on them in regard to this a= of poor. These considerations indoosid you to issue a flilllllo to the boards of guardians of the metrepolia, dated December 23rd, 1883. Is that minute you remark "It is a fundamental principle of the poor-law that every destitute pain, without reference to the question of settlement or milloseoe, is primarily entitled to relief where he is actually destitute, and it is the duty of the guardians to see that all marsary sad reasonable arrangements are made for afford tag to every such peruse the requisite relief, whether ia hod, clothing, medical attesdance, or lodging.' 'Yes' then informed the goardianathat the ***Ma anon fligenwlwat sod their officers to afford the requisite relief * all really destitute applicants was imperative, and mold ith be evaded. Thus the re,' airementa of the existing limi,Mad the beet amens of discharging the obligations which it imposed:were dearly pointed out, Lod you relied on **boards of guardians and their ofkcen to give practical effect to your minute. la the last session the " Metropolitan *foamless Poor Aet" Ina passed. That act did not introduce any new principle, het it removed all inducements to *arid admissions into the vagrant wards from a diens* the part of boards of guardians to be relieved from besting an undue share of the emit of maintaining way** This the act effected by en sdieg boards of guardians toile refunded by the ?Lampe. Alas Board of Works whatever cost they might incur. I have satiefactios in being able to state that sunset all the metropolitan boards vs( guardians have heartily co operated in endeavoming to cony out the objects of the act, sad that there is sow only one board of guardians which has failed to provide special secommodatioe for destitute vagrants sod wanderers. The following 38 unions and separate parishes are within the metropolitan district, yin. :—Bethnal-green, Chelsea, Clerk= weak St. James; Folham, St. George, Hanover square; St. George-in-the-East, St. Gilesio.the.Fiaida and Bt. George Bloomsbury ; Hackney, Hampstead, Holborn, Bt. limy, Isliesson ; St. Junes, Wastmineter ; Bensingtos, City st Loudon, East Loudon, West London, St. Luke, Misliffener ; St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster; Meettio.in-theeFields, St. Masylebone, Bile-nod Old Town, Mitddiagton, St. Nome, Poplar, Shateditch. St. Leonard ; litepoey, The Strand, Whitechapel, Bermondsey, Camberwell, Mk George-the-Martyr, Lambeth, Newington, St. Okras, Motherkithe, St. Savioers, Wandsworth and Clapham, Greenwich, and Lewisham. The poor-laws are ad wasistered in these places by 39 separate boards composed of 1,215 guardians of the poor, of whom 130,, being county magistrates, are ex-officio guardians of the poor. There are 41 workhouses in the district (the pariah of St. George, Hanover-square, and the pariah 111 Si. Mar genet and St. John, Westminster, posseemiew respectively two workhouses, each parish using one workhouse for the reception of destitute vagrants.) Them ere 82 masters and mealtimes of workhouses, and 96 relieving °Ears. The guardians of the West London Union provide moommoda. Gm for destitoW vagrants in lodging houses, as the work house of that union is being taken down, it having been werchased for the purposes of a railway. There are thus 37 workhouses within the metropolitan district, in each of which there are wards specially dedicated for the reosptioe of destitute vagrants end wanderers, and in the aggregate these wards will sow soweimodets fully 1,400 moms. Thirty of them wards contain all Decassary sod sulkiest amnion:lmM for affording requisite relief. and 21 of the 30 weirdo have been lately enlarged. I consider that seven of Wee wards are still inadequate, although I am aware that the accommodation which even these afford has enabled the guardians to admit all who have applied for admimicie. In the case of use only of these overeat wards his admissios been refused, so far as I am aware, in consequence of their bang full. Daring the first week of December, 1863, 3,40 d beds were occupied in the vagrant wards of the metropolitan district, but during the corresponding week of this pretest year 4,655 beds were so occupied. The greatest number of beds occupied in owe night in the first week of December, 2854, was 712, and the lowest number 607. A teak of work lilted to the sea, streigtb, sad capacity of the permits ad. witted is exacted in 28 of the workhouses, the boards of guardians considering it expedieet that a task of work should be required from each able bodied person relieved, in return for his food aid lodging, in *Deformity with the sth end 6th Viet., C. 37, a. 5. Is nine of the workhouses a task of work vas not exacted at the beginning of this month, but, in so. seedance with the recommendation of the Poor-law Board, Mil subject is now under the consideration of the boards of guardians, and at my visits to Novara of these beside I have endeavoured to show the guardians that the diapensiog with the La of work is calculated to encourage vagrancy.-1 our Moldiest servant, B.

The commission included the names of some of the leading merchants of London, Stan abater, Liverpool, and Glasgow, and the results of the experiment are now before us, la Neste Video, and other districts of South America, the greases are so rich that Ash meat has become a nuisance to the natives. It was fought, therefore, that if the surplus meat could be in. traduced into this country, the poorer classes, to whom betoken' meat is a positive luxury, might more frequently indulge in a wholesome and nutritious meal. The experi ment, so far, has been perfectly successful, the importa tions having increased from 93,436,000 lbs. in 1833 to ri5.000,000 in 18si3 ; and this had found a ready cm eramp!ion is the manufacturing and mining diadem, and is Baptised and Ireland, where it has been retailed at 3d. per pound. The " jerked " beef is prepared from the choicest parts of the animal. The flesh is cut into flakes, dipped in brine, and dried in the sun. When stetted in water for cooking it increases threefold in weight and thickness. Full instructioes for its preparation have been issued by the eommission, and dinners have been given to the working damns in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dublin, on which occa. rims the highest testimony to the palatable and nutritious qualities of this new article of food have been ens by the municipal ant scientific authorities. it is mid to be capable of being so highly cooked as to be a de licious relish for the rich : while for the poor man's table, simply prepared, it is healthful and invigorating food. Being entirely without bone, it is elm:ally adapted for ]risk stews, haricots, &c. At the experimental dinner gives at Glasgow, Dr. Star...lead stated that there could be se doubt the meat was perfectly wholesome, acid that, if it Would be brought into general consumption, at 3d. per puled, working men would be enabled to have a good piece of meat in the pot any day he liked ; and Dr. Guth rie rejoiced in this effort to bring this product of another part of the globe to where it would be of essential service to 60 working poor. If the working was could be supplied with good solids like those they bad tasted, he would be ladle Rely to meddle with baneful drinks. At the working ass's supper, gives at Edinburgh by the Social Science Coa lman, similar testimony was given by Lord Ardmillim, Prufesaor Archer, Sir W. Johnston, and other eminent men, and their opinions are fortified by scientific examisa. time of Dr. Letheby, Dr. Wallace, and other 11111i441116 sanlysts. It is not expected to supersede the use of fresh meet. but it is believed that no greater boon has bees lately offered to the public. As the supply of animal food from Wee ferti:e districts is practically unlimited, it is hoped Wt so effort will be spared to beam it to the tables of sae umelerfai sad often °outworked dares of Great BMWs. !•- THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVSMXAite POINTINTING IN OLOUCESTEILSEIIRE. On Wednesday. the „hunting gentlemen and fa-peen within the limits of the humbug country of Lord Fit t ha disge met at Berkeley Oastla, is complianoe with an invitation from his loadaM, to dingo the subject of the diffusor* which has arise bedew him and the Bev. Bit Si Colt in reference to certain impediments said to have bees placed in the way of the hunt by Sir Edward and his tumid, Mr. Jamie Cox. About 200 gentlemen attended, sod the meeting was held in the splendid old baronial hall of the noble cants. Amongst those present ware Lord Fitzliardinge, Colonel Berkeley, M.P. Colima' Magnets, M.P., Mr. C. Berkeley, M.P., Sir Charles Ginter, ha Lord FITLIIAADInaIt said he regretted to inform the cote pany that he was no logger master of the country ; It had bees taken out of his hands by Sir E. Colt aid his bout, Mr. Cox, and they were now touters of the country. It die waded upon them (the two gentlemen he had named) whether ly were to have hunting or so ►unting. Robed, therefore, called them together to sak them whether that should be the state of things that shouldezist. Hebad done everything in his power to conciliate Sir E. Colt and hie tenant. Ha corresponded with Sir B. Colt, bus he (Sir E. Colt) treated him with inepertineaoe, coosequently he dropped the correspondence. He now laf I the case in the hands of the gentlemen of the country. Colonel Berkeley well thew all thirteen better than he (the noble lord) did, and be would explain the °ours, that had bon pursued towards Mr. J. Cox mid Bir E Celt He (his lordship) would sot state one single thing that he could not prove by the oath of credible witoseme. Hi. begged now to leave the case in their hands, for them to deal with Sir B. Colt. Hi lordship coooluded by asking Mr. P. W. 8. Miles to take the chair, remarking that the company might pious themselves whether they would believe him (the noble lordlier Sir E. Colt. ' The CHAILIMAN summed a hone that they wen nut there that day upon an agreeable business instead of • disagreeable doe, because he did hope that the result of that ,nesting would be to pipe the noble sport of fox-hunting upon its true sad legitimate footing. He was delighted to see so many yeomen of the county there that day, and he felt pee feetly certain the edge lord of that old castle must also rejoice to see so many familiar faces before him. Hs hoped that in any remarks that might be made that day no unpin- Mai expressions might be used, because they knew that the grad majority—he might may nearly ale—were of one way of thinking, and therefore it would be very bad taste to cheer themselves. But there was , jellies tom obtained, sad he hoped that - before they kelt that • depthabos of geotleinea sad tartness might lie appointed, 'with whom Might be 1•11 the ith settling this question, sad lie Ironed, putting ft epos a as. tisfactary foiling for all tine. (Applause.) Now, he did not think it would be a wise thing for them to enter upon the dicassiou of what had taken plan ; but his 111000=00• dation to them was—sad he left them to deal with the matter as they chose—that they should Appoint three or five gentlemeo— say three gentlemen and two fanners—as a dart tattoo, who should go to Six E. lib and his Meant, aid see if they could not put the question upon a satis factory footing. (Applause.) They were root there that day upon • great fox hunting question. It was not only the case of a dispels has, but they thew that in Menet puts if the country fox-bunting was, in sone hideous, sot looked upon quite in the way they would like, and, therefore, he thought they would be doing • great good if they looked upon this ease in a general point of view, and endeavoured to pat their MOO as fairly More the public as they could. (Hear, beer.) He bad always himself seas the noble lord who sot beside hies, end the noble duke who kept • peek the other side of the country, invariably do their beet to prevent say wheat being ridden over thaeoesserdy. (Heardiear.) They knew perfectly well if the hounds were ran hard they (the sports men) had no time to think, and they often west the straighten way they could, aw l sensetimes wheat would be Addeo over ; but he knew there was not the thongs dose to wheat by riders gong over it that scope people would tmesiss. (Hear, hear.) It would detain them too long to eater apes wok oases, bat he knew foots which be could vouch for, and he had no doubt they did thiamine. (Hear, bear.) He was not going to enter upon the merits of fox basting—which would be a trite subject with them—but they knew ityromoted the cordiality and anaaimity of the country, and pat the persons who sejoved it upon aa quality, and the boat coma was he who Ind gel the best hone. (Hear, bear.) Independently of the good dose to all dunes be might say he thought the sociability of the hunting field was a thing to be kept up all over the country. (Hear ' bear.) He could only say himself that, having had the good &dope to hunt in rosin counties of Hyland, wherever he had gone be had invariably found the famous to open their doors to the " held." sod to give them proofs of their hospitality. (Hear, hear.) They knew that that feeling existed in their own county. (Hear, hear.) Th ey hardly ever west past a farmer's Dome hat he would in the most friendly way make them an ether of eider. (Hear, hear.) The same kiwi of hospitality took place in Leicestershire, where the pork pie was always ready for the field. (Laughter.) He would not, however, &dais them upon the present occasion, but he would proceed to call upon a petlinaa to move the fiat resolution. There would be two neolatious proposed to them, sod it would he for them to madder them, and, if deemed proper, adopt them. He felt sure that the noble owner of that coati ' would not attempt todictate in any possible way to anybody there, but that he wished—as all the gentlemen whom be saw around him wished—that • spontaneous expireadon of the whole country might be given in favour of • pursuit they had all at heart, and be trusted it would be the maws, as be said haloes, of cresting unanimity in that ciaatey. (Applause.) Mr. Plit.P. mid the find reselatios bedtimes eland in hi bands, and be was quite sure that the whole of the company present would join him in tin adoption of it as yap very glad to see so large • meeting on the queries which hod brought them together. The repolaties expressed their gratitude to Lord Fitohardioge and his ancestors for the handsome and liberal manner in which they had supported the homed. of that country. The noble lord was eaxecias to promote the good feeling of his neigh ! boars, and do them all the good is his power. He (Mr. Phelps) much reopened that any difficulty had arises, but be hoped it would spee dily cease. The row lotion that hoproposed was That this meeting wishes to exprem to Lord Finhardinp the great obligation it feels nadir to him and his seceders for the princely mums in which be sod they have hunted the country for so may years, and that it much regrets that any hiternption to the harmony that has always existed should have now arises." Mr. Phelps cootended that not only was fox hunting ea en joyable sport, but that it was budicial, for there was oo ' sport in which so many could join continually, and in which more opportaaitim were Riven for showing kindness toward one another. Colonel MAIIITIEL 'mondial the resolution, and it wee carried unanimously. Captain ADET rid the resolution which he had to...propose wee one with which they would all agree. They fully ad mitted that it wu only by the coartely of landowners and Vicente that fox-hunting could be carried on. They bad been very fortunate hitherto, and it wee rarely they got any misunderstanding, but something had occurred in that neighbourhood which they were all aware of. He could not make it out, sad he could not Hunt it postage that the gentlemen present could behave hi each a manner as bad been repreeented of them by Sir E. Colt. He thought there was no doubt be had encouraged his temente to kill the foxes. The resolution that he bad to propels was "That, with the approval of Lord Fitabarainge, Mr. B. Baker, Mr. Maclaine, Mr. Phelps, Mr. S. Young, and Mr. W. Hobbs be appointed a deputation from thin meetly', sad be re. quested to wait upon the Reverend Sir Edward Harry Vaughan Colt, and while admitting to him it was only by the courtesy and sufferance of landlords and tenants that limiting can be carried on in any country, they do trust he and his tenants will amide to the wishes of no influential and numerous a meeting, and come tosisatisfactory arrange ment with the deputation." Mr. T. Bunn 'scandal the resalutioe, and it was alao cur ried unanimously. Mr. Brut wad it would be wall that the name of their chairman should be added to the deputation. The name of Mr. P. W. S. Miles wee accordingly added, and three cheers having been given for Lord Fitzhardinge, and three for Colonel Berkeley, the company were invited by the noble earl to partake of luncheon. The Imo& subsequently met in Castle Meadow. There was • very numerous " field," and emend covert' of the aughbourbosi weadawirs.

IaTROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. , The usual usual meeting of the Board was held yester day, at the office in Springiparclens. Mr. J. THWARTS in the -hair. 11111 lIITIMATES TOR FBI ICEPENSIB Or 21331 BOARD __ _ _ 101 1865. The board rammed the iiectrion of the estimates pre by the finance committee for the =press of the board for the ensuing year. Mr. Davrox, chairman of the committee, moved the adoption of the first vote, Mr. sewerage sad drainer, which oontained the fo ll owing item :—Einms required for works, USW; working express of pumping stellar at Deptford, Creamer ate., 9,0001. • rent and tax for St. George's-wharf and other premis es es occupied by the board, 2501 • making • total of 42,9C01. _ _ Mr. P. J. 27, P 110.1.1711 seconded the motion. Mr. Bu.as Maxus said he found that there was at the priming time in band an approximate surplus of 14,0001., and there was a farther gam which bad been set apart to mast say liabilities the board might have to meet with regard to the Metropolitan Railway which would make up a total balsam in their favour of 60,0001. Now, if there was a sum of 60,0004 surplus on the estimates of 1864, he saw no reason why the ratepayers who had ooetributed fully all that was required of them should oat have the benefit of it in the coining year. There was co doubt that they must Lave a sum is hand for working expenses, but he thought that 20,000 i. would meet all their requirement., and there fore be should move that this vote be reduced by 30,0001., and therefore instead of requiring a rated 2gd. in the pound, should his amendment be adopted, a rate of ltd. would be found amply suffioient for all purposes. Mr-Luso esooolled the amendment. TL Eillii3aTurcd it should be Doren in mind that the board would have to incur • half-year's expanditare before they - would retooled a shilling nadir the proud estimates, and therefore 60,000/. would not be more than sufficient to owl co the donee of the board until June next and meet all the liabilit,res they would have to incur. After some discussion, the amendment wee put and lost. Mr. Liao moved a further amendment, that this amount be reduced by 14,000/. Mt . ..SILAS TiTLOS seconded the amendment, whkth led to • renewed dimussion. Eventually the original motion was carried by a majority of 19 to 12. Mr. DALTON moved the next vote of 10,0001. as the tolltribatioes by the board to public improvements, and in dotegsobe maid that the committee considered this sum would be drit s Ve 4 4 , 4 the 15,001%. voted last year only 7,500!. had boatliough no application for public improve ment hap reflood ea the grimed of the want of mousy. He therefore moved that the board do contribute 10,0004 to public improvements. Mr. (lanruee• most take exception to this vote on ac count of he teedequate amount to carry out public impose. Made. He found that in Paris • population of 1,700,000 wee taxed to the extent manually of 31. a head for ratinieipsl purposes. and lees be to be told that is this metropolis, with • P•Mastie• of 3.000,000, they maid not raise • rats of 108. - • bead for municipal purposes. Now he could sot for • moment imagine that In so wealthy • plus ea the metro polis it was at present so over taxed that it weld bear no other harden tot the purpose of effecting impreverneets. He believed that it wee the duty of the board to autribute liberally towards public improvements, tad should move es an mesedroset that the board do contribute the sum of 25,0001. towards, public improvements instead of 10,0001. Hr. Hume mid the estimate proposed by the committee would not bind the board to that expenditure ; but am 7,5001. had last year been found sufficient, the ocentnit•ee mesidered they were quite justified in recommending this year _lke sum of 10,0001. for public improvements. But he hoped Mr. Carpeted would not be under the impression that 10,0001. was all that the board would be called upon to contribute for the pupae. They had bound themselves to art expenditure of 200,0001 for improveinente in Whitschspel and Holborn, sad they would also have to H r umethiag towards the improvement sod widrein of H•mtlloa.plLLL. As to the example of Parra, where Mr. Camerae' had said that 31. was raised from each pompon for municipal purposes, it they were called upon is =irate Francais this respect, he feared that they would soon jai -1 tate it in some of its revolutions. After some dieeunion the amendment Imo put and nerved by a majority of 23 to 12. . A. L. Tenon then moved a further amendment that the board contribute 1.5,0001., urging that them were a number of claims before the board, and amoapt lbws are for between 6,0001. sod 7,0001. for the improvement of Ifeergate-etreea, which the board ought to effect entirely at their owe e=pees. Mr. °AMU= sooreded the amendment, but the am bers tot sad &phut it being equally balanced, the original motion was earned, as wore the other items of thereport of the committee.
