WAY E. . Dials. where the beggars us.emble, fiaunly at tight. hut in a morn ing before they :tart upon their drily Gecupatiminc, Ile Lae ;mar into et. , bar to see their manner of going on: they set out in the morning, r - ,rer with knapaacks on their back,' otiose without any. TN-former t.e.mc arty thing they can collect, old clothes and. old shoes, which they Lain;; to a place near MonnuottleStreet. They make sometimes three or tour shillings a day by old s'oues alone; Pflei their mode cf Lxcitirg charity for shoes 'is, nivariably.to go harcfvoted and acetify their fee: aid heels wit., something or other to Cruise the lilood to flow. They are the wow of chura:ters; get violently drunk. quarrel. and fight, calling fir V.I. rum, Neer, and whatever they like; hum. heel, and eo on; brut .'n victitils they will not touell. There are hour: a where •ifaine are : orty or fifty of them. l's. in a ~..ail; the potter stands t the door and takts the money. For threepence they rave clan stmnw, or something like it; for those who pay Mu:pence there is something enoremlereot; and for sixpenealhey have a bed. They art all lo:ked min for t' 7' i;;ht, lest they should take the pr Tarty. In the morning th:re is :.genera! L 1 tester b. low. Mr. W. Hale. dik-raanutisetirer. of Spital-firlds, states, that the bcg,mrs get some:aura: ten or (Weill. S/Lillingli a day; that they live ex . tremely, wall, and frequently will have rump stmits and oy.ner sauce in a trimming. Samuel licherts, watch-house keeper of St. Gilds and St. George's illootosbaci, is positive the; many of these. beggars are in is much Lecer ..rmi..ti-n tarot crone of the working Inutile. •• I have seen t'• in. - says he.

The beadle of St. George's was about to take up an =poor with his 1 , -*:, in a wooden frame; but in layillg hold of him he threw away the wooden frame, and scoop...nod off witootit any impediment. The greatest impostors and mat abandoned beggars appear to be women. Mr. Wihiam Hale. of Spitallielml, states. , that the paupers of their workhouse toe always allowed to go to a plate of worship on t' nosy ; that one wornan used. as she said, to go to chapel in the thty.road. One of the overseers coming out, in the evening, after qr vie ee, heard a voice, •• l'n• remember a poor blind child ; have metry,• have pity nn a poor hlir.d child." Knowing the voice, he turned routed,. tad reeognised her to be ene of the touters, who had borrowed, o r ' : °hired, the blind child, fcr the portion: of exciting pity. The r.&:. Henry Rudd, Chaplain of ll:ideweli Hospital, states, that a womim having at plied to a I.yino.in Society, one of the visitors went totter howe ; and found drive ditlerent sets of elethesa which she had ob tained from res'many clift'erer.t charitable societies. One evening, Mr. Iforell, ruining dot, 'fottenham-court-road. heard two beggars. a '.. , , - .n • and a woman. quarrelling.
