SINGULAR AND DUTPRIESING DOUBLE SUICIDE.—• Some weeks ago a French gentleman, with his mother, took furnished apartments at No. 2, Norfolk-road, Paddington, stating that he was a French noble men, who, from political motives, had been compelled to leave his country. He gave an references some of the high dignitaries of the Roman catholic church, and the inquiries proved satisfactory. The apartments were let at 25e, per week. Several weeks elapsed and the landlady received no rent from her lodgers, and she further discovered that they were living in a state of semi-darvation, although they motion ally received visitor', the majority of whom came in their carriages. Lest week she gave them nodes to gull. The gentleman asked her the latest hour be would be allowed to remain, and was told eight o'clock on the Thursday evening. He then informed hie landlady that on that day be should be certain to receive some money from France, through his friend the French consul in Lee dom when be would pay her all the rent due. In the interim he wrote• great many letters, but received very few in return. On Friday morning Mrs. Connor, the landlady, went to the door of the rooms occupied by her lodgers, and after knocking for several minute*, receiving no answer, she sent for the police, who effected an entry Into the room, when they found the Frenchman and his mother su-peoded by cords from the opposite ends of the window cornice roller, both of them quite dead. The man was hanging by a piece of window cord, and his mother by a small rope pulled from the bed sacking. There were indications that, after the nooses were affixed, both mother and son stood on a high footstool at the centre of the window, and threw themselves o ff simultaneously, but that the end of the cornice pole to which the mother was attached splintered, and that the feet of both parties touched the ground ; so determined, however, were they to commit suicide that both of them bad drawn up their legs, and thus consummated their purpose, On %iota near the window ware found the man's coat, cravat, and collar, and the woman's cap and neck ribbon ; on an adjacent table were several articles of antique jewellery, and letters from several &shah and French noblemen. Close to where they lay were two sheets. One was marked with ink, "This for myself ;" the other, " This for my mother." On the table was found a letter written by the deceased lady, giving directions as to disposieg of their bodies, making a division of the remains of their property. pawotickets, kc., and stating that they had committed suicide because they could no longer bear am against their misfortunes. THa Naw PRISON Acv.—On Thursday next the New Priam Ant will come into operation, when sevensprison! will be disconti n u e d, an d considerable alterations made in the management and discipline of those establish ments io England and Wales. Although the statute was peened to "amend and consolidate the law" relating to prisons it does not embrace the whole law on the subject. Under the new law there will be two kinds of hard labour— of the first and second class—and an efficient discipline introduced. Already Mr George Grey has called the atten tion of the visiting luatioes to the new regulations to be carried out and various improvements will take place. Among the numerous provisions are two, to the effect that when the imprisonmect expires on a Sunday the liberation is to be on the preceding day, and when a prisoner is discharged a sum of money is to be given Ito him, or for his benefit. There will now be carried out in the several prisons uniformity of regulations, PNEUMATIC DISPATCH COMPANY (LdMITED),—.• The report of the directors of this compeer states that the tube to Holborn was completed, and the scenes worked, as the 7th November last. There was good reason to hope that the early completion of the Holborn Viaduct would have enabled the tube to have been carried over it to the City, but it now appears that the plane even are still un settled. The tube from Holborn towards the City is now laid as far as the corner of Hatton-garden, with the excep. tion of the brickwork curve out of the Holborn Statioa. The directors found it impossible to negotiate the deben tures of the company except at exorbitant rates, and the board and the contractors, having perfect confidence is the ultimate succor of the undertaking, have therefore taken up debentures to the =oust of 20,0001., and advanced 12,0001. on the security of the company's property. The delay in the carrying out of the Holborn Viaduct will car it necessary for the tube to be carried nadir the - streets and over the Fleet sewers, which it was would have been avoided by the construotion of ; and pending the consideration and final of these points. the directors have determined ant sod facility of working by a series of can. recorded experiments, which are now in progress, I t reader it 0111 nosing etre hoped wail the viaduct settlement co to test the • fay records 1' THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1866 NATIONAL PROVIDENT INSTITUTION. The. annual meeting of members of the above inattention took place yesterday at the London Tavern, Mt. Saxon IL Limas In the chair. The secretary having read the advertisement and ocher formal documenta, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to move the adoption of the report and accounts respectively, and said it would be only nasearary tot him to make a very few observe tions. The number of policies issued during the last year was 802, and the amount of Ninth' income derived from them was 13,4821. ; 103 policies had been declined, and 75 were still under coosideration. There had been during the year 271 deaths, upon which the claims, including bonnie., amounted to 179,2951.; 21 policies payable to members of a given age bad fallen due, and 8,4194 bad been paid under this bead. The balance of receipts over disbursements was 109,7034 ; and the accumulated fund had increased to 2,530,6574, includ ing 194,4374 lent to members of the institution. The total gram annual revenue amounted to 396,0754 The total number of members on the 20th November last was 14,726. These were facts which spoke for themselves, and would require no comment. There had been a slight demise* in the smaller class of policies, but the more important ensi lages was in a flourishing condition. Is moving the adop tion of the report be should be happy to answer any ques tions, or to give whatever information might be required. (Hear, hear.) The motion having been seconded, Mr. 8. COPPING, before adopting the »rod, wished to make a few observations. He did not think the state of the business quite justified the chairman's congratulatory ob servatioes. Bine& 1662 the annual income had fallen to the extent of 3,6111., whereas a so well established institu tion should have increased its business. (Hear, hem) In policy business the diminution had been 6,193/. In the meantime the expenses bad increased, and this to his mind was by so means • satisfactory state of things.. (Hear, hear.) The expenditure in 1862 was, including actuaries, medical officers, &c., 6,8094, and in 1865, 7,8101., without including 9001. retiring pension to lir. Marsh, and this with other minor items, made as increase ender this head of 1,7001. Bates and taxes also showed an increase of 5=4 He complained, also, that the gross income was overstated—at least apparently—to the extent of 70,0001. He wished to know where he was to find as acknowledgment of the rents obtained from the portions of their premises which were lot off. In making those observations and 'eking those questions, he begged to dm claim any hostile feeling towards the directors. Mr. LLOYD said that the gentleman who had just spokes had really not touched the moot important point to the amounts. He found that the new business last year amounted to L 3,4921., whilst the expenses were 13,3661., so that the whole of the new business was swept off by the ex penses. But this was not all ; they were actually 6,0001. to the worse. Another came of complaint wee that no exer tion was made to get new business. There were not tan meats who were sending in ten policies each • quarter, and the reason of this was that the agents rateived no sufficient encouragement front head quarters. The Gresham and other new offices, some of them doing only class business, were doing a great deal MGM than the Provident, with only half the expenses. He wished also to see some notice of the testimonial cont. mittee's proceedings in the matter of the Marsh testimonial. The sum raked we. only 2571., and as that was quite insuffi cient to offer to Mr. Marsh, the committee had presested him with two very beautiful water colour pictures, value 1501., and a purse of one hundred guineas. Mr. Lloyd also complained that the money out on mortgage only brought in 4 par cent., whilst other Under. obtained 41. tis. and 41. IN. Mr. T. TAYLOR thought that Mr. Lloyd's mode of coon parieg the office expeeses was motels. Instead of oomparieg them with the new business he should hate compared them with the whole receipt.. Mr. FRIORRICI JACKSON sugg ested the infusing some new blood into the direction. Me aims from Leeds where there woe no inertias, of businesa, and he thought a Leeds director would do a great deal of good. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN would reply first to Mr. Lloyd. The only complaint from the agents was on aos , unt of the rate of cornmksicie. They wanted more commission, bat of that he disapproved, and should prefer an increase in the num ber of agents. Mr. Lloyd was, be believed, an agent ; bat the fact was that the greater portion of their busineee came direct into the °Mos, and paid no commission at all. The reel point to watch was the table of mortality, and if that were neglected an increase of policies would only lead to ruin. Some time since the directors had instructed their actuary to furnish them with an average table of the mor tality in differitat classes of busbies', and the result was that one class of lives, that of publicans, was found to be so bad that the direoto,s resolved to abandon that business altogether. (Hear, hear.) They should remember that it was not the quantity but the quality of business that paid, sod seeing that there were now many policies held which had ceased to Ty soy premium at all, that was a fact which spoke vo umee for the care which had been used in the selection of risks. As to the expenses they were only reasonable, and with respect to competition the directors were not Rein to enter into a ruinous competition for bad boatmen. In answer to a question, Mr. Murcrou, an auditor, defended the mode in which the sooonnts ware kept, and explained the discrepancy notioed by Mr. Lloyd. The system was double entry, and nothing could be more solid and secure. After • short conversation, The CHAIRMAN explained the mode in which the rent paid by their tenant was accounted for. A MKIIHER said that he hail lately required money for • public purpose and had found five per cent. demanded. How was it that they could only obtain four? Mr. C. GILPIN said the object of the directors bad always been to obtain not the highest interest but the best security. Redid not know what association the gentleman had applied to e but he was sure they bad not declined for want of money. Htgh interest g lly meant low security. The MENDE& said he had asked it on parochial security for parochial purposes. Mr. COPPING expressed himself satisfied with the chair man's explanation an to the reduction of policies, and begged again to disdain all feelings of hostility towards the board. The CHAIRMAN condemned the course taken by Mr. Lloyd, one of their agents, es tending to injure their business. Mr. LLOYD asked when he was to speak if not at the annual meeting. What would be the state of their insti tution in thirty years if the directors went on consuming all their new business in expenses? He had only been an spot when in the ',twice of the company. He had not done any business for them for • long time, and he thought it us gentlemanly of the chairman thus to allude to him. (" Order ".) . _ _ Alderman ROBE supported the directors, and thought the answers of the chairman bad been most satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) The last and most important figure in the balance sheet was most satisfactory. The report wee then put and unanimously agreed to. The outgoing directors, auditors, bcc., were unanimously elected. The CHAIRMAN 1111110UOCAd that Mr. Marsh, who had re tired in osasequence of total blindness, bad through a skil ful surgical operation so far recovered his sights+ now to be able to read with one eye. (Cheers.) Mr. Morris, his sac cessor as secretary, bad for nine months been too ill to work, and during that time they had been greatly indebted to the accountant for his exertions. Mr. COPPOO moved a vote of thanks to the directors. Mr. T. Wirers, Q.C., seconded the motion, and pointed out the great importance of the information which had been, be might say, extorted from the chairman. Nothing could be no important in an institution like theirs as a rigid in- vestigation of the class of lives accepted. Alderman Ross warmly supported the motion, and took that opportunity of retracting, on behalf of Mr. Lloyd, any observations which that gentlemen might have made dis agreeable to the chairman. He (Alderman Rove) had last year supported the increase in the remuneration of the directors, and he now felt the greatest satisfaction in having done so. (Hear, bear.) A SHAREHOLDER was proceeding at some length to recommend a distribution of profits every three years, instead of five, when be was called to order by Alderman hoes, who maid that the point had already been discussed and decided. The vote was than put and carried by acclam►tion. The CHAIRMIN, in returning thanks. called attention to the amount of the bonuses, and expressed his belief that if the member, would point that out to their friends, the result must be a great increase of business. This terminated the proceedings.

Dr. Tristram for the petitioner. She was married to the respondent in 1850, and her father gave him 1,0001. in order to assist him to begin business as a solicitor. The parties lived on satisfactory terms for about eleven years ; after which the respondent's conduct became very bad. In 1864 his wife separated from him, and her father, who held a bill of sale on his furniture, sold him up. The petitioner and her four children had since been living with her father.

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Bedford, coroner for Weetminster held an inquiry at the King's College Hospital. relative to the death of William Fitzgerald, a member of the metropolitan polite force, who, it was alleged, bad been murdered while on duty in Drury-lane. The three men, Doty, Cahill, and Curtis, charged with being concerned in the death of the deceased, were not present, but the two former were professionally represented. Edward Fitzgerald deposed he was brother of the deceased, and a police-constable. The dammed was 31 years of age. John Nicholls, a bootmaker, residing at 6, Bedford-street, Bedford-row, deposed be was proceeding up Drury-lane about one o'clock on Sunday morning, when he saw a man in custody of • policeman. He knew the deceased by eight, and be was the policeman whom he had seen. Another policeman (No. 19) followed the deceased as far as Broad court, Long-acre, and than stopped. The dammed and the prisoner got into the court, and the crowd went in with them. As soon as they bad got under the archway two young fellows cried out "Go it Bob !" He knew the young fellows, and they were the same he had sew at the police-court. They seised the deceased by the throat, and the deceased and the prisoner fell on the ground. One of the young fellows held the prisoner, sod the other pulled the policeman sway, when the three ran off. Wit ness ran after them, and one of the young fellows returned towards him, but he let him go try. He went back and found the deceased lying on the ground in the pleas where he had left him. lie went to pick the deceased up, but he said, "Doris' touch me—my arm is broken." Witness went to the station, and the inspector sent a reserve man to look after deceased. On going back they found the de mand and two constables coming along together. He did not me any blows sttuck, but he observed the constable's arm in a defensive attitude while he lay on the ground. In cromesAminstion by Mr. Levy, solicitor for the accused, the witness said there was plenty of light in the cowl. Mr. Howells, house surgeon of King's College Hospital, deposed to seeing the deosased at half-past one on Sunday morning. He was perfectly sober. He was suffering greatly from pain and exhaustion, and his left arm was very much swollen. There was no feeling at the back of the hand or the lower part of the arm. Another surgeon was sent for, who cut down to the artery and tied it. The following dry the deceased seemed to be going on favourably, but trau matic delirium set in, and he was removed to a separate ward. About four o'clock witness was sent for by the nurse, and found the deceased fast sinking. In reply to Mr. Levy, the witness said it was possible the Injury Irom which the deceased suffered might have been caused by a fall, but he did not think it probable. Mr. Conway ETU); senior assistant-physician at King's College Hospital, deposed to having made a post mortese examination of the body of the deceased. The skin of the left arm was of a dark purple colour, sod the cuticles were raised and swollen. The only external wound on the arm was that of the surgical operation. The skin of the arm was so li►id that it would have been difficult to discover soy external bruise or wound. The elbow of the left arm was dislocated, the ligaments of the joint were torn, and very great violeoce must have been used. The main artery of the limb was torn asunder. The bones of the upper and fore arm were broken. The body was that of a very fat man. The heart was in a state of f►tty gensratioo. Death resulted from tailors of the action of the heart, The injury was the primary cause of death. if the heart had been sound he could not positively say that the injury would have proved fatal. _ . The Coroner said that u it was only within the province of the surgeon to give so opinion BS to the means by which the injuries had been caused, he wished for the evidence of Mr. Wood. The coroner 'a officer stated that Mr. Wood was not in attendance. The Coroner said be would adjourn for half an hour in order to have Mr. Wood prebend. After the adjournment Mr. Wood was sworn, and after deposing to the injuries received by the deceased, stated that the limb had been subjected to twisting force. A direct blow could not have produced the injury. The muscle that ought to have been in front of the bone was at the back, showing that the arm had been twisted. A fall on the part of the deceased could not have caused the injury, but if he had fallen with another person ow him the iojuries might have been calmed. The inquiry was then adjourned. FRIGHTFCL DEATH. —Yesterday Mr. C. J. Carttar, the coroner, held an inquest at the Harrow public-house, Eynsford, on the body of Mary Ann Morgan, aged iii, who came by her death under the following shocking circum stances. The deceased was employed in the paper mill of Mr. Fellowes, at Eynsford, and an afternoon or two pre viously she complained of thirst, and told a fellow work woman that she would go to soother part of the mill where there is • cistern and obtain some water. Near the cisterc was • portion of the machinery of the mill, and as the deceased was stooping, her dress, which was greatly dis tended by • large crinoline, was caught in the revolving shaft, only • few inches from the flooring. The unfortunate woman was immediately drawn under, and falling across the shaft her head was twisted round it and her neck instantly broken. The manager, who had only just previously left that part of the mill, and where it was stated females are forbidden from going, saw the deceased on his return, and immediately stopped the water-wheel, but she was then dead. The coroner censured the wearing of crinoline in the mill, sod inquired of the manager why this was not prohibited, observing that on entering one of the rooms of the mill he saw that criool;ne was worn by all the females. Such a practice had been forbidden in Mr. Joynson's mill at St. Mary Cray. He had had a great deal of experience in some of the largest establishments where machinery was, and he must say he was never in any place where it was more exposed than in that mill, and the fact that it was dangerous was shown by the owner having planed a covering at the shaft since the accident bad occurred. If the mill was placed under government in spection • very considerable outlay would have to be made, and the cost of properly protecting the machinery would be less than the expense of burying the deceased. The jury then returned a verdict, "That the deceased met her death by being crushed in machinery, owing to the same not having been properly protected." The manager promised that the remarks of the coroner should be at once attended to, and the inquiry terminated. - - SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EASTERN SAILWAT.—On Wednesday evening a serious accident occurred to Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, aged 39, the wife of Mr. Lewis, accountant, of Albert-villas, Woodford. She was returning home from Biahopegate, by the 7.10 train, and arriving at the Stratford station had to change carriages for Woodford. It is stated that she was endeavouring to alight from the carriage while the train was in motion, and that in doing so the door of the carriage knocked her down, sod she fell under the train, the wheels passing over one of her legs. Dr. Kennedy, of Stratford, was imme diately in attendance and bandaged up the fractures. She wee then seat off by • special engine to the Mile-end station, from whence she wee conveyed in a cab to the London Hospital, where one of her legs was amputated, hut the shock to her system was so great as to leave little hopes of her recovery. She has s family of Ave young children, THE SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR GLASGOW.— We am glad to be able to state that the grave suspicions as to bow the man whose body was found in the canal near Cadder had died, hare been completely set at rest. Yester day the body was examined by Drs. Macleod and Stewart. The wounds on the bead and face were distinctly found by them to be postmortem wounds. The body bad also been severed after death obviously by the screw propeller of some passing vessel.

The chair wan taken by Mr. Wilkinson, who briefly introduced the matter, and then called on Mr. Storr to explain more fully. Mr. Store re marked that the oonamittee appointed by the Strand Union board felt no difficulty in coming to the conclusion that the existing house and lodging accommodation for the 'labouring and poorer chase. within their district is made quite, that great overcrowding prevails, that disease and immorality are thereby fostered, that rents are high, and that it is impossible to tell where the 3,082 poor persons, whose houses would be removed to make room for the new law courts, will be driven to when the time arrives for them to seek other abodes. He said it would be a good thing in itself to remove:this property, which was old and in bad repair, and in which constantl y there were outbreaks of fever, but that is only half the question. The other half, hitherto unanswered, notwith staudiog the evidence given before the select committee which sat upon the bill (portions of which be read to the meeting) is, where are these people to go to? It seems to . be no one's badness to determine this ; bat es guardians of the poor it is surely our duty to point out to our president the necessity of this matter receiving the most anxious consideration of the government. Mr. Store reed several extracts from • pamphlet lately published by Dr. Conway Evans, the district medical officer of health, entitled " Overcrowding end Typhus," which concludes thus : " The entire subject deman.ls thorough examination and free discussion, for it is by these means alone that a more enlightened state of public opinion will gradually lead to beneficial legislative enact ments, and the great oontemplated changes in the thorough fares and buildings of the metropolis will rally acquire for themselves the character of improvements in the fullest sense of the torm , and will case to be, what they now are threatening to become, sources of ill-health and death among the poorer classes of the community." The evidence of one of our relieving offioen was to the effect that a large mass of families of artizens and others in his district were crowded into single rooms, 10 feet by 8 feet, and but 8 feet high, for which they pay 2s. M. per week; that whole houses, courts, and alleys, were filled with this elms of property, which was mostly in the hand, of middle-men, who seldom allow the rent to run for a second week, and never did any c re Fe i e r l s b o y r the to c sanitary f tranlie: arrangements , r therstated that many of the poor about to be removed were employed in the neighbourhood, and would be obliged to seek other occupations, as well smother homes. Mr. Elton called attention to the fact that no "compensation" wee ever paid to these weekly tenants when they were served with "notices to gait," not "notices to treat." "Supply and demand" was a very good thing in its way, and as fu as it went, but it was no oonsoletioo to these poor people, on turning them out, to may that all things found their level by laws well understood by political economists, the upper classes, and railway companies. Having again urged the matter ea one about which they clearly bad • duty as guardians of the poor, Mr. Storr begged that other gentle men would express frankly their opinions, and 'would make such suggestiou as their long experience ea guardians might enable them to offer. Several speakers followed, and all agreed that the evil was great, and yearly imaging. One gentleman said, it something wee not done the lower cleanse might become disaffected and give us trouble ; another suggested, "that railway schemes were floated by professional men, menace, surveyors, lawyers, and others, whose main object was not the public good, but their own emolument ; soother remark made was, " that if railway companies could get the sanction of parliament to build grand hotels for the rich, they should surely be made to build lodging howls" for tbs poor whom they displace ;" another thought "that parliament would not grant public money and undertake such work for Lon don, se, if so, the various large towns throughout the king dom would demand to be dealt with in the same way." There was a further proposal that each municipality *bald be provided with powers to borrow money on the rates and build where houses were required, or have com pulsory powers to take (under proper certificates and gua rantees) houses that were dilapidated or pestilential, and rebuild same, which seemed to be deemed worthy of fuller consideration. A draft memorial was then read by Mr. Kibler, the clerk, which was ordered to be printed, and copies sent to every board of guardians within the metro politan district. The meeting then adjourned till a future day, when the memorial will be diuussed, as well a the necessity for petitions being presented to both homes of parliament. UNIVERSITY TESTS. A meeting of the Educational Department of the Social Science Association was held at their rooms, in the Adelphi, last evening, Mr. G. Shaw Lefevre, M.P., in the chair, when a paper was read by the Honourable George Brodrick on the subject of University Tests. The paper went fully into the subject stage by stage, as the various tests and obligations were either imposed or withdrawn. The main objections wan taken to the pre sent system of religious tests in the universities and college.% to the exclusion of nonconformist' from the full advantage of • collegiate education. Mr. James Heywood. F.R. thought that the main difficulty lay in the necessity to attend chapel. He was in favour of some form of prayer to be substituted for the prevent, similar in performance to those delivered to the members of the House of Commons. Mr. Westlake said that the retention of University tests sprang out of the fallacy that because the church of England was estelished, therefore the state was bound to promote its interests. The state should be neutral, and the colleges left to themselves, all restrictions imposed by state Interference being removed. Mr. Edward Webster thought there should be no tests beyond general good character sod academical learning, and the student should be left to attend whatever form of worship he pleased--all should be made subservient to the progress of truth. Rev. F. D. Maurice thought that state interference should be with drawn, having the law courts to prevent abase of power. As a theologian he was anxious that no impediments should be placed is the way of anyone having access to the best education in the country. Any restriction as au obstacle in the way of this being accom plished was untenable, unwise, and unrighteous. Mr. Frederic Hill could not understand why a religious test should be required, when merely a certificate of learning (such as the M. A.), was asked. He thought no one need be alarmed at the result of an abolition of university distinc. Sons. The Corporation and TesisAct, the admission of ROM% n catholic, and Jews to parliament were meanly.," of the like kind which few now desire to see repealed. The Rev. W. H. Freemantle thought discretion should not be left with the fellows to elect the fellows except on the ground of moral disqualifications. He objected to the view that the colleges were less national or more ecclesiastical than the universi ties. He thought that the larger colleges might be trusted, but not the small ones. Mr. Digby was in favour of keeping college' and universities separate. He thought it would be a great advantage for colleges to elect their own fellows. He thought that fellows might be non-resident, but that miter a number of years they should relinquish their fellowship. Mr. G. W. Hastings said it would be a great advantage to the education of churchmen to be free of the religious tests consequent upon the possession of • certain want, of academical learning. He believed that university educa tion generally was a proper subject for discussion, and moved that the thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. Brodrick for his paper, and that it be printed and distri buted among the members. The Rev. W. L. May seconded the motion, which, after some observations from the chair , mau and Mr. Brodrick is reply, was passed unanimously, and the meeting separated. THE POOR-LAW BOARD, THE POLICE, AND THE Housgtege Puos.—Yesterday at the usual weekly meeting of the Marylebone board of guardians, held in the board room of the Mary!shone workhouse, Mr. Beeler in the chair, a communication was received from the Poor-law Board recommending the employment of the police as assistant relieving officers for vagrants, and forwarding • copy of a Lett-r from the authorities of Poplar Union (who have employed the police as suggested), addressed to the Poor-law Board, stating that since the employment of the police a number of idle young fellows bed been got rid of, and the number of vagrants bad greatly decreased. Mr, Tavener asked Mr. Douglas, the master of the house, if the employment of the police as assistant relieving officers would give them any power beyond that of giving tickets of admission to vagrants. Mr. Douglas replied that it would not. Mr. Tavener asked the master what he thought would be the effect of the employment of tee police. Mr. Douglas said his present opinion was that it would have the effect of reducing the number of vagrasts. At all events, he thought it was worths. trial of three months. Latterly there had been a large increase in the number of casuals, and the applicants were of the worst description—much worse than formerly—that he believed was owing to the fact that • large refuge io the neighbourhood which used to admit all who applied had this year rejected the professional vagrants, the result being that that ;lass was thrown noes the parish. During the past week he bad admPted 537 men, many of whom he thought would hesitate to apply to the police. The work- house of St. Marylebone admitted more vagrants than say other in the metropolis. The average of vagrants lately had been 1.000 a week. The Rev. J. C. P. Eyre thought I the employment of she police would have the effect of reducing the number of casuals, and would drive the criminal away from their wards. Mr. Tays. Der said be felt very suspicious when any new power was created to take away the privileges and rights of the guardians. He was not prepared to admit that they could not manage their own affairs without the assistance of the polies, but at the same time they bad to deal with a class of persona with whom the police were best acquainted, and be was therefore inclined to accept the offer for three moetbs. If he understood the matter, the police would not eater the house, but would merely greet or reject the ' applications of casuals for admission. It appeared to hint • that it would be a very bard owe to make the emmals go hither sod thither to obtain the consent of the police before i they could be admitted, and he thought the opposition to their entrance should be made at the door of the house, and fer that purpose the police would have to he within eall. He would move that they adopt the plan suggested for three months. The motion was put and carried unanimously, and I it wee 11 can. reeolved that the pommy steps be taken for carrying PROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
