Pr. Irons, Dr. Moire, Rey. T. T. tarter, N.

GOVERNISSET TROOP smut= lOR THE INDUS. Yesterday a very satisfactory trial took place on the Thames of a most peculiarly constructed steamer, intended for the conveyance of troops upon the Lower Indus, and which, in sporting phraseology, might be called a " eras" between Noah's Ark and the Crystal Pa/aoe. A numerous company of persons interested in marine engi• Peering were present on board, amongst whom nuiy be billlloli Mr. Mimeo, Admiralty Inspector of Machinery; Mr. Luke, Admiralty Surveyor of Shipping ; Captain Ro bertson, of the Board of Trade; Mr. Blake, of the firma of Messrs. James Watt and Co. ; and Mr. Henry S. Pitcher, of Northffeet Dockyard. This vowel is uas of a series of various dimensions recent mendedby a commission appointed by government in 1817 to investigate the subject of river navigation and to report on the best claw of vessels for service on the rivers of India. The commission consisted of the late Colonel Crawford, of the Indian Engineers; l‘Aptaiu Balfour, of the Indian navy; and Mr. T. B. Winter, consulting marine engineer. The rivers of India are usually broad, although their best chan nels are at various places comparatively narrow. In general the-e rivers are tortuous, shallow, very rapid in Good seasons, and abound in shifting sandbanks. The form of boat recommended by the above commission as best adapted to meet these circumstances is popularly known as the "spoon-ended" form, and resembles, in prin ciple, many of the native craft. Several steam vessels have been sent out during the lard few years, more or less ap proximating to this model, and have been found the most useful on the Indian rivers. The compilation recom mended the still farther carrying out of the ended" principle by dispensing entirely yids soy to an angular hem at either end of the vessels, in order to counteract, as far as possible, the difficulties to steering caused by the cross currents of the rivers, and also to re duce the labour of hauling the vessel off a sandbank, should shoat any time run aground. For ordinary purposes tug vessels with barges attached thereto were recommended: but teethe all-important service of the speedy conveyance of troops (the necessity fur which was so apparent during the late Indian rebellion) vessels of the class about to be described were advised. Mr. T. B. Winter, the engineer member of the commission, was subsequently instructed by government to prepere the plans sod specifications of the various vessels above referred to, and was then entrusted with the charge of superinteuiliog their coostrurtion in this Country. The 'teach arc sent out to India in pieces and emm pleted there, but one tug, and now this larger strainer, have been finished for previous trial in this country. After wards these vessels will have to be taken to pieces and packed for shipment. The contract for the present troop steamer was given to Meows. James Watt and Co., of London and Birmingham, who have built her engines, and have rublet the building of the hull to Mews. M. Pease and Co., of Stockton-om Tees, where the vessel was "tot tered" together, and afterwanls was brought up in pieces to the Victoria Docks, and there riveted and finished. The clineeekee the stosisaer are : - Length over all, 377 feet ; beam, 16; breadth over paddle bones, 74; depth, F ; ditto at paddle shafts, 12 ; ditto at top of arched girders, 18 ; working draft of water, 2 ; displacement of 2 feet draft, to tons ; tonnage (old measurement), 3,911. Accommo dation is provided on board fur about 800 troops and their officers. The engines are 220 nominal horse power, having horizontal cylinders of 55 inches diameter, and 6 feet stroke. The diameterof the paddlewheels is 26 feet, and the breadth of Modem& or paddle-:muds 12 feet. There is a separate pair of small oscillating engines, intended to assist in maintaining • vacuum fur the main engines when the navigation becomes intrirate. These engines are likewise to work crabs for hauling the vessel off sandbanks. The hull of the troop steamer is constructed entirely of paddled steel, made by the Weardale Company, near Our ham, and the avenge tensile strength of which is 42 tons per sectional square inch, or double that of bolt-plate iron. The vessel !is strengthened longitudinally by four arched girders, two at the sides, rising to a height of 12 feet, to carry the paddlewheels, &c., and extending about 130 feet in length on deck. The other two, or main girders, run fore and aft, about 10 feet from the sides of the mall these are 10 feet high in the centre, and extend nearly the whole length of the ship. In walking fore and aft on the main deck, you pus underneath the paddle•shafta. Athwartahips the vessel is strengthened through the engine and boiler space by 12 overhead beams, or girder., extend ing the while breadth of the vessel, and carrying the stays by which the sponse°, are suspended. Beyond the space occupied by the engine and boilers, she is framed again alliwartships by inner under the saia-dna, raested. every 3 feet, and which resemble in principle the framework of an iron roof. Although the vessel is built throughout of exceedvely light scantling she is rendered remarkably strong by means of tLe class of framework adoptel She is steered at each end by means of " blades," whisk instead of being worked front side to side, in the ordinary manner of rudders, are caused to rise or lower into the water at the proper angle. When out of action these blades are completely within boxes or wells, formed for their reception. Both sets are actuated simultaneously by steering wheels placed towards the head of the vessel, and provision is made to work one set only should an accident occur to the other. The principle of this ingenious arrangement is patented by the inventor, Mr. A. Chaplin, of Glasgow. There are two tiers of cabins, placed one above the other ; and these, as on board American river steamers, are houses rising above the vessel's main deck. They are entirely surrounded with Venetian panels, for the admission or exclusion of air. The tops of the upper tier of cabins form the chief pt manacle deck. The saloon and state rooms for the officers are at the fore end of the vessel. No attempt at ornamental work has been made, everything being plain, but sub stantial. The berths for the troops are composed of frames of galvanised iron covered with perforated sheet zinc, for the hie circulation of air. The lower tier of berths is con structed at a convenient height to form seats, and the upper tier is placed soffiriently above the lower to allow the occur. pants to sit comfortably upright. In each main troop room there is an officer's cabin partitioned off, and the accommo dation for the troops is divided into five compartments, me as to permit of separatism in ism of sickness. Fresh air, drawn from the paddle-boxes, in order that it may absorb moisture, is supplied to the cabins by fans worked with the steam power, in sufficient quantity to change the whole amount is each troop room every half-hour. Theme fans are &bele' patent, and being independent of the engines can be worked while the ship is lying-to for the night, at all navigation on the Indus ceases at dark. The easuseere cabins are placed on the extensive moutons, where are also bath roo:ns and other accommodations, poultry bowies, Aviv pens. Re. Ad a precaution against shoaling, the draft of water is taken by water gauges placed inside the ship, and analogous I iu principle to the water gauges of ordinary steam-boilers. The whole vessel is covered with an awning of the strongest sail cloth, the area of which may be estimated by the fact of its weighing three tons. The extensive frame work for supporting this awning has received especial attention, and while every care has been taken to reduce weight by making all the stanchions and stays tubular, they are nevertheless very substantial. The handrails all round the main and promenade decks are also tubular, and advantage has been taken of this form to make it serve as a speaking tube from the pilot to the engine-room. The engineering difficulty io the construction of this vessel was, to adopt such a class of framework that, while atin possessing great strength, the quantity or weight of metal used in building her should be so small as to moue the excessively limited draft of 2 feet. In principle the general arrangement, and also I many of the plans for stiffening and strengthening this vessel resemble the American river steamers, very many of which nearly approach it in the dimensions of 1 length end beam, and one of which is believed to be about 130 feet longer and 4 feet wider. Some vessels on the Rhone are 100 feet longer than this troop steamer, Lot not so wide. The draft of water, however, both of the larger I American and Rhone boats is seldom so little as 4 feet, or doable that of Mr. Winter's design. The cabins of the American boats frequently rise from 40 feet to 50 feet above the main deck, whereas those of the Indus troop steamer do not exceed 15 feet ; so that, although the hold on the water due to the 2 feet draft is less than that of the American boats, which lave so long and tucoesefully navi gated the Hudson and the Miseheippi, this troop steamer has proportionably law top hamper. The yawl was tried on the measured miles in Long Reach and Gravesend Reach, the average speed attained , being twelve statute miles per hour, sad the prevalent opinion of the many competent authorities on board I w..a, that the vessel would amply fulfil her intended object. THE EDUCATION OF NEGLECTED .4 ND Dssnrurs CHILDREN. CONFERENCE AT BIRMINGHAM. Yesterday a conference on thin subject took place at Birmingham, Sir JOHN PAKINGTOIC, M.P., in the chair. The attendance was large, and included the Earl of Lich field, the Earl i 4 Shrewsbury and Talbot, Lord Lyttelton, Lord Cahhorpe, Lord Ingestre, M.P., Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., Mr. Scholefield, M.P., Mr. Hatibury, M.P., Sir Baldwin Leighton, the Hon. and Rev. G. M. Yorke, the Rev. Dr. Miller, Mr. C. H. Bracebridge, the Mayor of Birmingham, Dr. Guthrie, Mr. G. W. Meetings ; the Rey. J. T. Burt, chaplain of the Birmingham Gaol ; Mr. C. W. Hanky'''. ; Mr. W. Partridge, police magistrate of Wolverhampton ; the Hon. Major Anson, M.P. ; Mr. Charles Ratcliff, boo. secretary of the Conference ; Mr. Barwick Baker, Hard wiok-eourt ; the Rev. G. Hans Hamilton, Berwick ; Mr. R. Baker, Inspector of Factories ; Dr. Birt Davies, and a large number of others taking an interest in this movement. The Hox. SrearrAni mentioned that letters had been received from many distinguished prams, apologising for their absenoe, but expressive of their cordial concurrence in the movement. The conference was opened with prayer by the Hon. and Rev. G. M. Yonne. Thefollowing were the "general principles" enumerated in the printed circular : " la is the duty of the state, both as reganls society in general, and each individual composing it, to provide educa tion for those who cannot obtain it for themselves. Thiel duty is recognised by the state, since it provides education for those who are in gaols and reformatories, and therefore come compulsorily under its care, and for those who are thrown on society for support—i. e., paupers. The same duty exists, but has not been diseherged by the state to wards cliparengeho are not as yet either criminals or pumas. but whose natural guardians will not, or cannot, provide for their education. It as the object of the con ference to lay before the executive goyenimen't and the legislature, am a consequence of the principle above stated, the imperative duty of their providing education for this ponies of the community." Sir J. Palo:44mg, after • few preliminary observation's, said they had assembled together to consider what they be lieved to be a grievance, and to discuss what was its beet remedy. The grievance was that out of the large annual sum which was voted by parliament to assist in the educa tion of the poor—those who were the most poor, those who were the most destitute, those who came under the care of those institutions which had been founded by benevoleut =lin most of the lug* towns i i :lz rand and Scot ose who, in fact;peopled our schools , and re. calved nothing —were, in fact, exclud ed from that which professed to provide for them. They would be told by those in authority that they were not excluded, and that it was open to them to claim their share, but he had no doubt that before the day closed it would be made perfectly clear that practically they were excluded : that in those respects in which aid was offered it was saddled with such conditions as to make it generally undesirable that that aid should be accepted. They not scaly complained of this as • breach of national duty, bit the arrangements of the education department had been such that they might complain of a breach of faith as well as of bad policy. (Hear, hear.) A minute was at one time passed mid for some time acted upon, by which these) ragged sehoels were enabled to get their share of the public money M.stfor eilaution. But mutely bad they proved the of this liberality, scarcely had they begun to make their arrangements, to extend their buildings, to purchase premises, and to avail themselves of the granta of money made them under this minute, than the minute was withdrawn. This being their grievance, their general principle and their object wea l in the words of their circular letter :—" The welfare of society requires that all its mem ber. should be educated ; therefore it is the duty of the State, both as regards society in goners! amiss& individual composing it, to provide education for those who cannot obtain it for themselves. This duty is recognised by the state, since it provides education for those who are in gaols and reforms tortes, and therefore cane compulsorily under its care, and for those who are thrown on society for support, ,i. e. paupers. The same duty exists, but has not been discharged by the state, towards children who are not yet either cri minals or paupers, but whose natural guardians will not, or I, cannot, provide for their education. It is the object of the conference to lay before the executive government and the legislature, as • consequence of the principle above stated, the imperative duty of their providing education for this portion of the community, the neglected and destitute children of Great Britain." This paper, said the right hon. chairman, has the signature of 146 of the most eminent friends of education in Great Britain, Scot laird, and Ireland, who had supported the p rinciple enunciated without regard to religious opinion or political party ; and such • band of gentlemen he thought must be influential with the government and with the legislature. Having adverted to the fact that the government both of Lord Derby and Lord Palmerston had I opposed the grant to rugged schools, the hon. baronet pro 'seeded to state that he could not better put the meeting in possession of the facts of the case than by reading the terms of the motion he brought forward in the Home of Commons last session, and by drawing atteetion to some circumstances that arose out of it. The rearm was :—" That the grants annually made by parliament for the promotion of educe- Ike ow/Otto be expended with • fair and just regard to the requirements of the different chums of wheels lee eognised by the minute of the Committee of Council ; and I that the ragged and industrial schools, which are alone adapted to meet the wants of • considerable number of destitute and neglected children, do not receive the amount of aid to which they are entitled." He was of course answered by the minister who represented the education de pertinent (Mr. Lowe), and it was with regret that he had to call attention to some remarks made by the lion. gentleman on that occasion. lie said, " When the right bon. gentleman complained that under the present system the higher class of the working elegem were amply provided for and the poorer class neglected, he complained of that which was the very memo and principle of the system. The system being a voluntary one the rich would provide for their own neighbourhoods, and often to excess, and the poor who had no rich among them would be noprovided for. If, said Sir John, Mr. Lowe had desired to strike • blow at the system in exigence, if he had desired to hold out to Great Britain that the funds liberally and amply supplied by parliameut were not devoted to three objects which they ought to promote, he could have male no statement more fatal to the department over which he presided. For if it was thus openly avowed by the educational miuister that for those who were most ileetitute they did nothing, they surely hail the right to say that such a system required alteration. It was, then, this system, which administered the greatest help where there was the least need, sod that where there was the greatest need gave no help at all, that they sought to remedy. His own opinion was, and he hail avowed it over and over again both in and out of the House of Commove that public aid to education would be more beneficially given, if they applied to the education of the humbler clauses of society these same principles of local management—(hear, hear)—to which Englishmen were in other respects so much attached—which we had long applied to the relief of the principal wants of the poor, which we applied to the management of our counties and our towns, and which was, in fact, that system so much opposed to cen tralisation, and so much upheld as cue of the principles of our constitution. (Appliuse.) If properly coustitigoil bodies were thus appointed throughout the length and breadth of the land, there could be no doubt but the educa tional requirements of all the poor would In properly attended to. (Hear, hear.) And here again he must quote from his honourable friend Mr. Lowe ' The right hoe. gentleman said that the educational pants should be expended with fair and just regard to the requirements of the different classes of schools recognised by the minutes of the Cent , mitts* of Council. This amused is very fair proposition, but the practice of the Prim Council was not, and never had been, in conformity with it. And if the house affirmed the motion, they would lay down an entirely new principle of action, which would be subversive of all the principles hitherto acted upon by the department. The practich of the Committee of Education was not to give grants in con sideration of the requirements and necessities of the schools, lot in consideration of private persons coming forward and supporting them." To this there were two answers. First of all, if such was the practice of the Privy Council, it ought to be changed ; and, secondly, Mr. Lowe bad fallen into a practical error. He said the practice of the Privy Council was to ...rant money in consideration of private per- sons coming forward. that was precisely what they were asking for the ragged 'chord' ; they had never asked that they should become entirely • burden on the public purse. But one thing he did regret more than any other in the speech of Mr. 'Lowe, and it was when he made a boast of the pecuniary saving which had been effected by withholding aid to these ragged schools. The charge upon the education department, it appeared, while this grant to the ragged schools was in existence, was 27,000/. a year, but in consequence of with hokligg that grant, the amount was reduced to 5,500/., and Mr. Lowe boasted that a saving of 22,0001. had been effected. He trusted that no one there would think the sum a large one for the purpose . . but in the view he had long entertained as to the mode in which education should be assisted by the state, he felt certain that the day would come when, if this centralising system of doing everything from an office in London were adopted, the amount of that national grant would become so great that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would raise his voice against it. Already had this been seen in the course pursued by Mr. Gladstone, I who was the first Chancellor of the Exchequer to openly speak against the grant, although others had not liked it a whit the better. But when they considered what bad Men done by these ragged schools, was =OOO/. or even 27.0n0'. at all too large • sum to speed out of the state funds in their support! The statement he held in his hand, and which he intended to read, would show what had been • dose:—" Upwards of three Steamed children had attended the Aberdeen Industrial :ichools since their commencement. Ofthese,hix hundrmi ilaVe gone from reboots into situation,. and are, with very few exceptions, known to be doing well while of the others. there is every reason to believe that a very large number Mire not misconducted themselves. Our ing the last few Tears the greatest possible change has taken place. Out of the thousand vagrants who were reported to be wandering in this part of time country, the whole juve nile population. calculated at nearly 400, have entirely dis appeared. The juvenile offenders in prison under twelve years of age have decreased from 61 in 1841 to 13 in 11456." Having further adverted to the good done by the ragged schools. and quoted from the paper read by Miss Carpenter at the Bradford meeting of Social Science, to show their be neficial effect on society at large, Sir John Pakington said he had endeavoured as far as possible to state the grievance which had necessitated their conference, and he trusted that the result of their discussion that day would be a practical remedy for it. The remedy he proposed was to address a firm remonstrance to the House of Commons, and to demand that the dictates of benevolence and common sense should he no longer disregarded ; and he trusted that they would be supported strenuously, both in and out of parliament. Having shown how, when last brought on, the question had leen met en both sides of the house in no party spirit, the hon. chairman expressed a hope that such would be the case this year, and while advis ing that it should be brought on early in the session, as a substantive motion, instead of being left till the estimates were brought iu at the end of the sessiou in the presence of only a few members, he suggested to the meeting the propriety of choosing for their leader not himself, but some other of his colleagues, because he was afraid the fact of his being a member of the late government would not do their cause any good. (No, no.) The hon. baronet, after some further genend remarks, expressed his confidence in the ultimate success of the movement. Mr. M. 1). HILL, Q.C., moved the first resolution— " That neglected and morally destitute children constituted a very large portion of the community,. yet that no educa tional aid is given for their education from the parliamen tary grant, comparable to curb as is given to such clo'seo of schools as already receive government assistance." Mr. SCROLETILLD, M.P., seconded the resolution. A paper on "Ragged Schools," setting forth their use fuloees, was read by Mies Caonaviza, which was warmly commended by Sir J. Pakington. The Archdeacon of WORCESTER made a suggestion, which resulted in the addition of one or two wonls in the resolu tion. He expressed his cordial concurrence in the objects of the conferexce. The Rev. Mr. 09111ORNE. chaplain of the Bath gaol, declared it to be his unqualified opinion that every child in the land ought to be educated. The Rev. 8. B.tcuc, Unitarian minister, of Birmingham, said that even thoegh he stood alone in the meeting, he could not permit the resolution to be put without ex pronging his perfect faith in the voluntary principle. The resolution ens put and carried. _ The Rev. Dr. GUTHRIE moved the second resolution : " That obedience to the laws of God and man is powerfully promoted by the diffusion of sound knowledge, anl the training up of the young in the exercise of the great duties of life : therefore, it is incumbent on the elate, am far as possible, to ensure the means of education forall children for whom their parents are through poverty uuable, or through ignorance unwilling, to provide it." The Earl of SHREWBRURT seconded the resolution, which, after a few remarks from Sr BALDNIN LEIGHTUN and Mr. HANNAY, was carried. The Rev. Dr. MILLER moved the third resolution : " That the experience of the last eighteen years has proved that this portion of the population is reached in ninny dia. tricta to a considenible extent, and can be effectually raised ,by ragged and industrial schools ; but that schools of this clam, which, to be good, involve much greater expenditure than ordinary reloads, cannot be permanently supported in the !wound efficiency, or extended to all the &Lancia re quiring them, by voluntary aid alone." They were all aware (he said) that inspection must follow government grants as a matter of necessity • and Le concurred in the opinion ex. by the Ree Order in referrence to that subject. lie id not wish to use the Privy Council system destroyed but expanded, in order fully to meet the case of neglected and destitute children. Viscount I:trt:.ttn► M.P., seconded the resolution, which, after some slight discussion, in which Dr. Bell and other gentlemen took part, was carried. Lord Lrrreurox moved the next resolution :—"That it is the duty ol the state to give liberal financial aid to such schools, availing itself, as In the case of the reformatories, of that voluntary °lenient which is an essential condition of our 111.10081111." _ _ . Mr . tietioNrn, M.P., seconded the resolution, but with out pledging himself to the details of any particular scheme for effecting au object so desirable as that which they all had in ♦iew. The molutiou was carried. Mr. HANBURT, moved the appointment of a com mittee, who are to endeavour to enforce upon the govern- ment the necetwity of granting aid in the direction required. After a vote of thanks to Sir John Pakington the con ference adjourned until the evening. LAW Or SETTLEMENT A D CHARGEABILITY. Last night a conference of the guardians and directon of the poor in the metropolis was held at the London Coffeehouse, for the purpose of discussing the present law of settlement and chatgeability, and the „gamma cumlition of the poor aud their dwelling,. The meeting was fulled in pummel of wwwmatatiba aimed to by the guardians of the West London Union on the Bth instant, a copy of which was seat to the boards of guardians of the different unions of the metropolis. Mr. Alderman SIDNET. M.P., who occupied the chair, expressed regret that the conference was not more ,fully attended, hut at all evecta the importance of the subject could not be oveinatsl. (Hear, hear.) He was only surprised that the question had been permitted to remain so long in its present disjointed and unsatisfactory condition. He supposed no one would dispute that the poor law rate was a tax on property. But what could they say of a property tax which was Is. 4d. in one place, Is. :it in another, Pd, in another, and perhaps Id. in another I (Hear, hear.) But the verb circumstance that the rate was unequal made it difficult of adjustment, beaus the more lightly taxed localities of course were in favour of having things remain as they were. (Hear, hear.) The majority of the House of Commas' represented for the most part the lightly taxed places, and it was difficult to get them to change the present state of things. (Hear, hear.) If they were to have • poor-law at all, he thought it ought to be self adjusting, and such that when • came, that pres sure should be adequately nat. Hear, hear.) At present the law operated with great severity on the poor, and with peat inequality on the ratepayers. Under the present system the pourer the locality the greater was the burden of the poor-ride. Landlords, in order to avoid the incidence of the rate, ejected the poor from their properties. The consequence of thi. was that the poor were pressed into certain localities, the dwellings became overcrowded, and seems of wretchedness and immorality occurred which disgraced them in the eyes of the world. (Hear, hear.) Foreigners could not understand how this wealthy country and metropolis should exhibit such aceues of wretchedness as had been detailed of late in the columns of their press. The Poor-law was no doubt intended for the benefit of the poor, but the practical result of the 4:lrd of Eliza beth was that large tracts of property in this country were entirely exempt front the burden of the rate, others contributed but a small amount, whilst others—and these the very poorest districts—laid very Lagely. (Hew, hear.) Having made these remarks he legged tomll on Mr. Harvey to address the conference. Mr. HARVEY add the evil of the present law was so ap parent that it could not be denied, and if they could devise any remedy by which it could be abolished they would confer a great beneht on the *pantry. It was by no means uncommon for two parishes to expend several hundred pounds in order to ascertain the place of settlement of a single pauper. (Hear, bear.) There were in the last year over 5,01)0 orders of removal, under which 14,8110 poor persons were removal at a cost of 18,36.51. This was ex clusive of Irish removals, and represented those which took place in England and Wales only. Mr. Harvey then quoted in stances of the banish ip and cruelty of *owe of there removals, and expressed his opinion that if the public were fully aware of the extent of the evil, the eystem could not have continued for oolong a period. (Hear, bear.) Then bow did it affect the dwellings of the poor? They had evidence taken before the House of Commons of whole parishes being swept clear of labourers' cottages in order to avoid the chargeabi lity of the poor. This state of things occurred not in one but several counties of England. The same result took place in the metropolis. The poor in the richer localities were diminishing and were increasing in the poorer ones. The pulling down of the houses of the poor had a most evil effect. The result showed itself in those frightful instances of immorality with which their journals had been teeming for some time past. (Hear, hear.) Were they to be con tent with sending out missionaries to convert the heathen whilst such scenes were taking place at their own doors? (Hear, hear.) He believed the remedy for this state of things was that the present law of settlement and chargea bility should he altered, end the area of rateability enlarged, because if the law of settlement were abolished and the pre sent system of chargeability continued, it would only make things worse. (Hear.) Ifs did nut believe that the larger , area of rating would give rise to the evil of laxity I of administration, as was generally supposed. (Hear.) He begged, therefore, to move the following resolution :- 1 " That this meeting having carefully considered the opera ; Lion of the laws of settlement and chargeability of the poor, hereby expresses its opinion that they are oppressive to the poor, unjust to the ratepayers, and have largely tended to bring about the present overcrowding of the dwellings of the poor, with all the consequent evil effecta ; and that ID the opiaion of this meeting there is no prospect of an effec. i teal remedy beim; provided whilst any law exists throwing the whale cost of the relief of the poor, in tame. of their de-titution or 'lane, ' on the rates of the parish or union where they happen to reside, or causing their compulsory removal to their legal settlement, as in the opinion of this meeting such a law alaxet entirely prevents the erection or .ohiptation of dwellings for the use of the poor. and is mainly the cause why in large ilistricts, sometimes of many miles in extent, there are no dwellings for the pour to be found." Mr. 'WARWICK seconded the motion. Mr. birGii.t. said that he bad seen misery of the most appallin. kind in the east of Lond o n, sa d if h e h a d not afforded' relief many persons would have actually died of starvation. (Hear, hear.) It might be said, why did not the guardians of the poor come forward with relief ? The truth was, the guardians had not the means of giving ade quate relief. (Hear.) if they did full justice to the poor the whole property of the district would be swamped. (Hear, hear.) He had heard recently from a solicitor that there was a didrict in Sussex which paid 275. in the pound, and when he inquired why such a property had been par. chased, he replied that the purchaser was determined to clear it. Of course the people would endeavour to find shelter somewhere, and hence the great overcrowd ing of some localities. He bad visited places in St. George's-in-the-Fist where eleven persona were living in one room ten feet square. They could easily imagine the result of such a state of thing.. The amount of rate in St. George's, Hanover-square, was Gd. in the pound, and in St. George's-in-the-East it was 4s. 4d. (Hear, hear.) How could such inequality be de fended? He believed that by making • strenuous effort they would in the next session of parliament obtain equality of rating and nn extension of the area. (Hear, hear.) Mr. }INLAY remarked that the cost of in and out door relief in St. George's-in-the• East was 14,8881. in the year 1849, and only 13.342/. in 1859, although there was an in crease of population. In the Lambeth Union the in and out door maintenance cost 33,0001. in 1849, and only 30,0001. in 1859, although there had been a great increase of population. Would any one say that the value of pro perty in Lambeth had been depreciated? The great burden of the poor rate was not caused by the poor rate proper, but by the county rate, police rate, asylum rate, sod other rates which were collected by the Poor-law rate collectors. (Hear.) He believed it was a great benefit to the poor to have wretched houses thrown down and distributed over a wider area. Dr. ROM remarked that even if it were true that the amount of poor rate had diminished in St. George's-in-the-East and Lambeth. that fact did not get rid of the injustice of the inequality of the taxation. (Hear, hear.) He was a Poor law doctor, and whatever might be the op nion of Mr. Fin. lay as to the effect of substituting splendid mansions for the poor houses in the metropolis, he could not shut his eyes to the scenes of wretchedness and immorality which he witnessed in the overcrowded districts of the West London Union. He believed that if the remedy suggested by the resolution were applied much of the evil would be does away with. Mr. WARWICK observed that if the poor rate had dimi nished in some poor districts, itdiminishedin a muchgreater in the rich districts. For instance, in 1832 the rate degree George's, Hanover.rquare, was 3. Gd., and at the same period it was 51. Bd. in St. Saviour's—no great differ ence. In 1842 the rate in tit. George's had fallen to le. 4d., whilst it had risen to 3s. 411. in Blackfriars. (Hear, hear.) In 1852 it had fallen to sd. in St. George's, and it was sa. in St. Anne's. (Hear.) The fact was that year by year the burden was shifted from the wealthier to the poorer parishes, till the poor rate had booms a tax upon poverty maimed of a rate upon property. (Hear.) In his opinion, I anything short of an entire abolition of the law of settle ment and an equalisation of the rate would prove a failure. The effects of the present law on the morals of the poor could not be overestimated ; it was notorious to all whose I business it was to visit the houses of the poor. When the I present system was done away with a better class of houses would be built for the poor. (Hear.) Mr. Coldirs, of St. Pancras, said he was not prepared to go with the whole of the resol ution. He was sure that parliament would never increase the area of rating without giving increased power to the Poorlaw Board, and to that he was entirely opposed. Mr. GILBERT, chairman of the Society for the Equaliaa- Hon of the Poor-rate, bore witness to the great immotality which resulted from the present system, and instanced localities where there was a considerable increase of popula tion although there had been a decrease of house accommo dation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRUMFIELD, chairman of the Wbitechspel Union, contended that the law of settlement ought to be abolished, and the area of rating extended. By the latter alteration those gentlemen who now threw down the houses of the poor in order to avoid chargeability would not escape from the liability to contribute to the support of the poor. (Hear, hear.) rhe resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. BLATCREORD, chairman of the Fulham Union, moved the following resolution :—" That in the opinion of this meeting there should be an approximate equalised charge for the relief of the poor over an extended area—aav a county- —and that the laws of settlement and removal shoUld then be altogether abolished ; free scope would thus be given to the poor man's labour, and the great objection which now exists to the erection of dwellings for the poor would at once cease." He did not believe that parliament would ever consent to a national rate, but they might to a county rate if there was a pressure from without. Without such pressure the Poor law Board would not make any alteration. Mr. BUTCHER seconded the resolution, which was sup ported by Mr. WALKER. Mr. TURNER (St. Pancras) asked how the abolition of the law of settlement could diminish the pressure of the poor on the rates and house accommodation of Hi. Pancras. He . . betleved thatTii;i;;; might be nwdi9ed with rlvantage but he did not think it ought to be abolkihed. With regard to the inequality of taxation, he believed that there bad been much exaggeration on that subject, and that the rate was not so unequal as was supposed. There would more over be great difficulty in finding proper persons to super intend the distribution of the rate if the area was ex tended. Mr. Ponta, in support of the resolution, said that the different unions of the metropolis distributed iioo,ooof., but that amount was raised most unequally. If the area of rate. ability were extended over the whole a shilling in the pound would bring in the same amount of money, and those who now paid nothing at all would be brought under the rate. (Hear, hear.) Mr. COLLINS, of St. Pancras, was of opinion that there would not be proper supervision if the area was extended. and instanced the Metropolitan Board of Works as a cue in point. The resolution was put and carried, See hands being held up against it. Mr. FITCH moved the following resolution :—"That the foregoing resolutions be embodied in a memorial to tho Secretary of State for the Home Department, and that a deputation from thi. meeting be appointed to present the same, and further to urge that the subject may be taken into the serious and immediate consideration of her Majesty's government." Mr. TURNSI4 objected to the resolution on the ground, that they had met to confer, not to pass resolution+. On being put, the resolution was carried by See to three. The meeting then separated after a vote of thanks to the chairman. MR. SHERIDAN, M.P., AT DUDLEY. On Tuesday night Mr. Sheridan, M.P., ad dressed his constituents at the Rove Hill School.
