PFy StißicEy SOCIETY FOR THIC-EMPLuYMENT REFOILWATION OF DISCHARjED PPISONVIJ.S Monday a Meeting teats beld it the Town Hail; Croydon, to eonAder of the best ittearit 10 'contributing to the funds of the Surirty fur the Relief of Diseibrged Nisoners, The Rev. ?.1r LOCCWQOD, Rector of Croydon, was called to t' e chair, and explained the purpose fur which the meeting was called, which was to assist in raising finis !or a Society to provide Employment for P. iv - ,ners barged from the ye i,ons of Surrey. The Rev. M. . Court rrsev said, that Mr. Denison, the Ale t ber r S.irrey, had sent him a letter expressing his regret that he could not attend. lie had, however. sea his stencr:pt:on, and was sorry that lie was not able by the regulations of the Society to add more. The Society which had been formed for Surrey was intended, after the example of the Society for the Refuge of the Desti tut,., to pioniote the reformation and provide em ployment for penitent criminals. This Society had pre-, basely been indebted for its origin to the Rev. Mr. Butt v ho was Chaplain to the Briscoe House of Correction.. Ile had Oen! seen the prisoners reformed by the di:. cipline of the prison, and seen them wirer discharged, from ranting bolt employment and character, relapse i:Ito crime; be had, therefore, suggested that a S niety should be formed to provide such people a temporary It was to be perfectly voluntary for all such persons to elver it or not. There was to be no con si.r.iint, and there was a great hope that all persons who entered the Asylum voluiva!ily, m:ght be made good members of society. On the idea being first started, au application had been Made to the Refuge hot the Destitute. which was intended only for Middl.:sex, and that Society had agreed to take persons discharged from the Burley prisons, at a sum of 7s. per head a wet. k. Already some of those who had been so seat had obtained good situations, and had Lecn restored to the world. All the men so discharged were found employment, and it was only young men or women that were sent to the Asylum. At length the Asy lum had so many applications, that the Directors refused to take in any more persons. An agree ment had since been entered into with a Mr. Hey, Who had the super:n endance of a workhouse, and who had undertaken to build a hour-, capable of holding 140 persons, and the Society calculated on sending him 40 persons a year, who were to be fed and cloth-'d for 7s. per week per head. Mi. Hey was to have three-fourths of the earnings of these persons; the other fourth was to be put into a savings bank, or some other place, for the use of the persons themselves. At Mr. Heys the men were to be employed turning—the women m. king matting. The whole of the establish. ment of that Gentleman was well conducted, and was very clean. Mr. Hey read prayers also daily, and there was a chapel on his premises. Mr. Hey was a sort of conta actor fur the poor of New ington Pit tab. A separate building, however, was to be provided for the discharged prisoners, who were not to be mixed with the poor.— It was estimated that the expense of keeping forty per :lns at Mr. Heys, would be 8001. Fer year. The Rev. Gentleman then read an account of the reformation of a noted character called ,8.11 Desperate, who was re formed at the Refuge for the Destitute. He was there taught the trade of a shoemaker, then he became a confidential messenger, and was at length established in a comfortable situation, got married, and, though strongly tempted, be had never, for three years, swerved from honesty. There was no reason then, he said, however abandoned persons might be, to despair of their re.Ormation. The Rev. Gentleman then mentioned another case of a woman who had been cured of drunk e - ness, and after being in the Refuge, and after more than one relapse, had conducted herself with great propriety. The Society was intended solely to find employment for reformed prisoners, and nothing was waning but funds. The Rev. Gentleman concluded by moving a R solution, purporting that this Society would be beneficial to the county of Surrey. L. B. ALLEN, Esq. (the Police Magi te) seconded the Resolution. In Surrey, the committals were more numerous in proportion to the population than in the County of Kent. TLere was no occasion for him, there. fore, to say that there was a great want of such a So ciety. Upwards of 3000 persons were discharged from the prisons of Surrey every year; a certain number of whom might unquestionably be reformed. He was not himself a sanguine reformer, but after the mind had been softened by punishment, some reformation might be expected. From the last Return of the Society for the Refuge of the Destitute, it appeared that only ten boys out of . 112 bad relapsed, or about one in eleven; of the females, only one in twenty had relapsed. This W4i a strong evidence of the utility of such Societies. It was a matter of great consolation, in this great and happy country, to find so many persons interest themselves in the improvement of their fellow-subjects. Mr. Allen then read a short extract . from the Suciety for the Improvement of Prison Diicipline, :hewing, that boy's just sent from prison, where they had been flogeed, were not likely to obtain employMent, and who *Quid, by a Society of this kind, be provided for. Mr Allen then paid a complinient to the humanity of. Ladies, and mentioned that Lady Carnegie had established a Society in Edinburgh, where half the discharged prisoners bad been reformed. To illustrate the be. nsvolent exertions of Mrs. Frye, be read another extract from the Society for the improvement of Prison Discipline, and encouraged the Ladies to join their Society, as being both benevolent and useful. The Resolution was unanimously agreed to. Simeon Sums, Esq. moved the second Resolution That it was deskahletis collect subseriptlons'and donations for the purposes of the Society. • The hair. Mr. Iloaaa, of Godstone, seconded the Resolution, and said, he should be happy to do whatever he could to suppon so escellent an Institution. The Resolution was unanimously agreed to. ?4r. Bixr&i (a Quaker) expressed his approbation of the Society. Dora Casos, Esq. moved the next Resolution. lk trusted tie appeal to be made to the Christian public would not be in vain. • Mr. Kathie seconded the Resolution, and It was unanimously amid in. - A Resolution appoindng a Treasurer was also agreed to. Thanks sure given to the Chairman for his able and impartial corduct in the chair, and the meeting broke up.

Clyde Iron-Works hive for the last five weeks, in consequenix of .the colliersAggrierapit. The furnaces produce about 100 tons of pig iron weekly, or 5,000 tons a year, and it requires above 20,000 tons of coal to melt the metal. It was therefore eetteldired by the combination t\e most vulneiable pitat ick?ack first, as it was calculated that Mr. Dy would at once comply with their demands, rather illhass stop his extensive iron-works. The principal cause . of dis pute was, that the colliers wished to 414e.t.b . e,made of measurement, and to give Mr. Dunlop only 12 cwt. instead of 13 cwt. to the cart, as formerly.— As Mr. Duulbp considered his measurement as fair as that Of any other coal-worlr,he resisted the &mend. About ten weeks ago his Hamilton farm colliers sent to him a long roll of imaginary grievances and new demands, which he peremptorily reflising to accede to, they all struck. The work has since been stopped, and the colliers turned out of their houses. The whole of Mr. Dunlop's colliers, amounting to about 300, also followed the example, and there being no coal to carry on the blast furnaces, from the short supply put up by, the colliers, in a week after the strike, the iron-stone miners, lime-stone workers, furnace-men, labourers, &c. were thrown idle to'the amount of 300, making in all 600 men, without including their families. What malc..s the case peculiarly hard is, that Mr. Dunlop's men were quite averse to strike. A general meeting of combined colliers, consisting of about 2000, was, how ' ever, held in the.eicinity, to decide whether Mr Dun lop's men should continue any longer to work for him upon their old terms? To their credit, every one of his men voted against striking, being perfectly satisfied with their employer's terms. They were, however, outvoted, and obliged to submit to the general body, and present their grievances. They have since been supported by the combination. They say that they receive 10f. a week, and so much for their sons, ac cording as they could work. As there are 3000 colliers around Glasgow, it only requires about a shilling weekly from each to defray the expense of the idle hands. The colliers thrown idle were perfectly able, if they chose to work full time, to make 6s. 3d. allay, and. when they wrought only four days a week they made 20s. This is owing to the great increase of price they have successively obtained; as they now get 220. for digging a cart of coals, the former price of which was 14d. A' report is made every fortnight by the delegates of the state of the coal -tills, and if the coals are accumulating, the grand committee at Shettleston order the various coal-works to put out only a certain quantity till the stock is diminished; The consequence is, that the col- Hers, on an average, work only three-fifths of their time, 2nd instead of putting out 50 hatches, first reduced it to 40, and then to 32. At this season of the year, there is generally 50,000 tons (or about a fifth of the consump tion of Glasgow) on the principal coal-hills to meet the additional demand in winter; but at present there is no stock on hand, the colliers refusing to put out more than what is required for immediate consumption. Mr. Dun lop is confident of being able to fill his works with new hands, but he is as yet, rather averse to do this, as his old workers have been about the place from their in fancy, are much attached to him, industrious and well behaved, and never made any complaints till misled by others. It is a melancholy picture of the time. when such a large body of workmen are so infatuated as to strike at the dictation of others. Instead of industri-; ously working, they are now to be seen playing at e cards, or loitering away their time in other frivolous. =memoirs,. Mr. Dunlop has several hundred bosses in the form of squares for his workmen. He charged 'lid. a week for the rent of an apartment 10 feet by 15, and containing two beds. Those who wish an additional room halt the above size, with one bed in it, pay one half more. The colliers object to pay any rent what ever, and this also forms one of their list of grievances. Mr. Dunlop is determined not to yield to any of their demands, as from the price of iron falling, it is less profitable to manufacture. He is employed in repair ing his furnaces and other necessary improvements. He employs more than fifty horses driving the iron and lime-stones. It takes about 40,000 tons of raw material to make 4,000 of pig iron. Above 20,000 tons of coal were formerly sold, besides the supply required for the consumption of the works. The iron -works, which are beautifully situated on the banks of the Clyde, have at present a gloomy and ruinous appearance, very unlike , the vivacity and briskness which has so long distin-• guished them. It is a great number of years since they still. The inhabitants of Glasgow will miss the+ finely illurninwed horizon which the flames created,' particularly in a dark night, and which served as a' cheerful beacon to the traveller in the surrounding dis tricts. It is the intention of the combination, it they succeed against Mr. Dunlop, to strike against the rest of the coal-masters, one by one, till they get them all completely under their commit; as to measurement ands price. The grand stand is determined to be made during next winter, and great apprehensions are enter-' tained that the community will at that time sufer severely for want of coal. Last winter the combina tion was not so w ell matured. Next season there will be no stocks of coal at the pits, and a great rise in price may therefore be expected. It is absolutely ne cessary that immediate steps should be taken on the; subject, or public works and private families will suffer serious inconvenience from the want of fuel, or be obliged to purchase it at an enormous rate. This will. cause the eyes of the public to be more fully opened to the evil consequences of combination ; and the colliers, by over-duiag the thing, will probably bring' the hoese about their ears. The Magistrates for the.county of Warwick, assem bled on the Grand Jury at the late Assizes, unani mously resolved to use in future all legal means in their power to prevent prize -fighting Within their jurisdiction. DESPERATE APPEAL—Three Frenchmen and two Frorkhwomen, were taken to Bow-street yesterday, followed by a large mob, in a most pitiable condition, two of the men ih particular being covered with blood, cuts, and bruises, and were followed by the corn plainant, Mr. KICATHxxo, of the Black Prince, Chandos street, and his witness, in an equally deplorable cob dition. The prisoners, it seems, writ to the abOve house, on Monday evening, and erred the Ladies de sired to he shewn into a private room, where the party had a little wine, but soon fell a quarrelling, and the Frenchmen used knives, and inflicted on each other sever.,l alarming wounds. The landlord and his friend interfered to save further bloodshed,' wi t ted a battle royal ensued; the complainants received very serious injury, and the F:ench party were secured. Taco of the most violent were sent to prison in default of ba;l, and the others were discharged. • POLICE IAtIALLIGENCE. • Mang gack and ArtaiSPo l l oo / 1 4 Inotbtr mad • daulhes were brought before_ o.sl.App4mvst, yesterday, under the fol lowing eirennisttnces r-7—Tbre d a u g hter *is household servant to Mr. Morley, a tidor,' hi the &rand. Oh Monday evening. the ' 25th of last month, 'Mr. Morley's cash-box,, containing upwards of, •901. was stolen front his house during his absence. On the fellow ing Wedneslay there was a loud knocking at the door; and upon opening it there vies no person to be seen, but the stolen cash-box was found upon the itep. It contained a bill of exchange and two 51. notes, which bore Mr. Alodey's indorsement; but the rest of the cash had been extracted. • The box, when thus found, was tied in a blue and white handkerchief, which, it was subsequently ascertained, had belonged to the daughter, and a part of the setae handkerchief wat Nund in the ntother's lodgings. They were committed for further exatnination. Lacs EMISTMOILL—This well-known personage, who was die , charged on Monday morning, when charged with assaulting a man named James, was again brought to the *dice in the evening, on a similar charge, upon the person of the keeper of the Star and Oar• ter public-house, in St. Martin's-lane. She had gone in the after noon to the house, and walked into the parlour. She called for a glass of rum and water, in a tone which 'clearly skewed that an in crease of the liquid she had already imbibed, woad by no means be good fur her health. The Landlord, who had not the honour of, even an acquaintance with her person, thought a word or two by way of advice, might induce her to withdraw her order, and re move herself to some place where a short repose would be of ser vice to her. This contradiction to a Lady of her warmth of ima gination and temper was a deadly insult; she immediately knocked all the glasses which were then on the table into the fire-place, and managed to break three panes of glass, before any effectual means could be devised to check her outrageous proceedings. She was committed in default of bail. Al A RLBOROUG FLSTREET. • . MOCE PEASI.S.—Dos Francis de Sales Blasco, charged with de frauding divers pawnbrokers, by pledging mock for real pearls, appeared yesterday before the Magistrates of this Office, with his employer, Monsieur Fleulard. In addition to the charges reported ur Tns Sri& of Monday, Mr. Norman a pawnbroker of Princes. street, Sobo square, stated, that the prisoner, Blasco, pledged at his shop, on the 11th inst. a necklace of sixty pearls, upon which he advanced £l5. 'The prisoner told him they were genuine pearls. Blasco denied that be ever said they were genuine pearls. Mr. Harrison, a pawnbroker in Wardour-street, stated, that he bad examined the necklace produced by Mr. Norman, and the pearls were so fine an imitation of real pearls, that it was difficult to die. cover they were not genuine. Monsieur Pleulard, through the medium of an Interpteter, denied that he ever authorised Blasco to sell or pawn the articles for real pearls. Blasco exclaimed, " Mine Goo! you tell me, get all you can, and I go to pawn broker. I say, what you give me on that pretty pearl? He say £l5, and I take it ; dat no fraud. If you say, I will give you £2O, I will take it"—(Loud laughing). Monsieur Melaka seemed indignant that the conduct of Blasco should have injured his reputation. The Magistrate perniitted the prisoner and the pawnbrokers to compromise the iralr, the former agreeing to return the money advanced upon di* mock pearls, and to pay all expenses. Mrs. Kidney, of Maida-hill,, Paddington, applied foe a warrant to search the premises of Abraham Biggs, her late coachman, whom she strongly suspected of having some of the propertylately stolen from her in his possession. Applicant stated that it was the wife of the coachman who gave the information. Mr. Gurneys—Then that completely puts it out of my power to act. I cannot grant the warrant. On the same principle that I cannot receive the oath of the husband in such a case, so must I refuse the oath of the wife against the husband. I must refuse tits warrant. Mrs. Kidney, her solicitor, and Morris, the officer, then left the office, and soon returned, with the coachman in custody. A bat, brushes, and other articles, found in his lodgings, were identifted by Mrs. Kidney as her property. A groom, in the service of Lord Boyne, came forward to swear that the hat thus identiked be longed coking ; that it had been given to him by his Lordship, who, he had no doubt, could also swear to it. The primer was bound over, in his own recognisance, to answer, at the *W M, lay charge that might be brought against him. WORSHIP-STREET.

The following is a brief outline of the facts which were laid before the The three defendants, who answered to the mince of Harvey; Cooper, and OsiA, which were merely new *pun?, were charged by Hall, the aid constable, and two other Seers, with being in a state of intoxication, and with conducting themselves in a very riotous manner, at the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall. The charge having been fully proved by Hail. Mr. SCRIVII2I, the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, who hap pened to be present, remarked that four o'clock was much too late an hour to keep open such a place of amusement as Vauxhall Gar. dens, and the proprietors ought not totountenance it. There being no wish on the pan of Hall or the constables to proceed further in the business, the defendants were ultimately discharged, On making a pecuniary compensation to Hall for his tern thin, and on each paying a fine of Ss. to the King for being in a state of intoxication.

DONATIONS 71, THE-ROMAN CATHOLIC The decision recently prnhoanced by 4ite Court cf Vienne,, in France, whereby the will of a rich ..widow, who" bequeathed all her property to an ecclesiastic, was annulled, is likely to be productive of heneficialatonee , quences to society. There are net many who Will be sorry to see that rapacious'and. artful' , piety" deprived of ill•got spoils, that watared the bed of death with at view to take advantage of the fears and ;nit mities of the huthan mind. •It was'this practice, which in the dark ages accumulated the wealth of the Church, and impoL verisbed its character. But too often the minister of ligion, when called to afford consolation to the afflicted and broken spirit, platined, in the midst of the agonies. of nature, the robbery of the widow and the orphan•-i He taoliht the dying person, on whose conscience the recollection of his misdeeds pressed heavily, that by be. queathing his goods to what were called plows uses, be could appease the anger of Heaves:, and purchase, be the ruin of his relatives, the peace of his own soul. Be fore the Reformation in England, so prevalent a custom was it with priests to extinguish the natural sentiments of humanity in their dying communicants, and cc ob tain their estates in this world, in exchange for the hope which they gave them in the next, that the cisil authcs. City at length found it necessary to idterrese anti ph vent all the property of the kingdom from being trans ferred, by will, itito the possession of the priesthood.. Before the Statute against pious uses was passed, the more the priests blessed the memory of the dead, the more.reason had their nearest rely ions to excv.ate them. Th.; heir-at-law often became a mend cant at the pie of a monastery, for a piitanc? of the wealth whi. h the cunning of the churchmen had extorted from the eying grasp of his parent. Infants horn to ample fort:rte. were made outcasts from their homes, and high-bred and delicate females thrown on the cold chatity of - the world. It is, therefore, phasing to every humane and well-regulated mind to know, that at a time when priestcraft is attempting its ancient ascendancy i n France, a Court of Law has had discernment enough to be aware of the evil, and virtue enough to avert it. It appears by a document recently published, that in the last twenty-two years the donations and bequests to religious houses in France, have amounted to nearly 23i millions of francs in money, 700,000 francs iu annual dividends, and 6% millions in landed velvety. Besides this, there have been given or restored to the clergy, by private individuals, 384 houses, 1,077 pieces of land, 618 acres. f culture, 28 libraries, 56 churches. 37 chapels and alibeys, 3 convents, and 174 parsonage houses. The number of donors too is very remark able, amounting to 13,082, of whom 7,841 are men, and 8,241 women. It had been generally supposed that the greater part of these donations were made br females, but an exact enquiry has proved the fact to be very different.

There had been a quarrel between the parties previ ously, and Betty Thompson had rejected the true hearted sailor, from some of those undefined reasons which work upon the female mind. The mother was favourable to his suit, and the daughter, to avoid pressing, sought and obtained a situation in the respect able family sktinvemeritioned.' • The occasion of the difference was, however, but trivial.
