This exten sion of their system was. however, only adhered to, ldaring the extreme severity of the weather. 1 As the numbers in the Asylum increased, the pres sure was relieved in the day-time, by employing, the able-bodied men in cleansing the streets, which was done in gangs of :'.5 each. At the same time, through the assistance of the Seamen's Society, and by other means, many seafaring men were provided with births, and sent oa board different vessels, with a supply of clothin7, of which indeed nearly all the objects ad mitted were greatly in need. 1 he female wards, soon after the asylum was open ed, were placed antler the controul of a Committee of Ladies, consisting principally of the Managers of the (hardier, and Provisional Protection Societies, aided by Fry.

ALDNEss or GREY HAIRS gill nut be reel R Thousands of Ladies and Gentlemen who have use Prince's Russia Oil for years, had a good head of hair without being the least shaded or grey. But some faille, being persuaded hy their hair-dressers to use other 011 s. or sold them counterfeit Russia Oil, they soon found the differ ence, as their hair began to fall off, or get grey. In short. Prince's Russia Oil Is the wholesoinest and best Oil for pre serving and promoting the growth of hair, and if used con stantly, not a hair will fill off or turn grey ; even if the hair leas begun to tnrn grey, it is such a notirisher, that by use It *ill restore It to the natural colour; clears the scurf, snd keeps the head and hair clean, and by using it regular for a few months daily, will restore the hair on the bald part, If the least signs of roots are remaining, a hleh has been proved by hundreds. But ()Nene, to produce the desired effect it must be tilted is-pilot. Even the Medical Gentlemen at the Medical Ball. London, have published in the Gazette of ilealth, that Prince's Russia Oil is superior to any Oil for the hair, and will do In -sites of baldne.s and weak hair what can possibly be done. Ladies will find Prince's Russia Oil preferable to any other Oil for dressing their own, or false hair, as It gives it • natural gloss, softens and curls it. Gentlemen wearing powder, plight to ass it iustead of poinatum, promotes try e-brows. widgers. lc. The Original Proprietor has now so improved the Russia Oil that it will always he sweet and pleasant. and will keep In all climates; and good allowance to Merchants and Cap tains for exportation.

Also Prince's celebrated Russia Dye. being so improved, that no doubt now remains of its bring the best and most lens cent the in the universe for immediately changing red o-srey Hair, * Eye -brows, and Whiskers, to Brown or Black with no further trouble than to pour a little of the Dy r in i Mass, then dip a root) in it, and comb it through the hair, which will have the desired effect. Directions are sealed up with each bottle, so that any one can dye their own hair with ease and secrecy in a few minutes. Half-a-guinea per bottle ;or two bottles one pound : or one dorm bottles five pounds. Proved by affidavit the Itth November, IBIS. Wiwi the Lord Mayor of London, that A. Prince is the Original Proprietor in the Universe of the Russia Oil or Russia Dye; therefore if any Perfumer, Medicine-vender, Hair dresser, or any one else sell Russia 011, or Rossi' Dye, that hot Prince's, they are impostors, as they sell counterfeits to their Customers. As there are ninny In the country who have completned of being taken In- hs. counterfeit Russia Oil, therefore Ladies and Gentlemen will he sure to have the Greet*. by enclosing The Money hi a letter for the Russia Oil, Le. directed to Mr. Priory, No. 9, Poked-street.

We cannot more effectually chew the value of that excel lent Institution than by transcribing the words of the report at letigth. l'pon recurring to the afflicting spectacle whirl, the public streets of the metropolis presentel at the period when this suitscripition was comtueured, it will be obvious that little time could he devoted by the Committee, either to the consideration of the sub ject, or fur effecting any arrangements ufa preparatory nature. The necessity of immediate action was im perative; awl the Committat felt, in taking Nom themselves the arduous hut interesting task at-signed them by the subscribers, that whatever 'hanger there might be in congregating a pr ttttt iSellS.lls Unlititmle of paupers within the walls of one bniloling, they were prevented, by the pressing nature of the distress they were deputed to alleviate, from adopting any regula tions calculated to limit the number of applicants. ,The extraordinary urgency, which was sufficient to justify the opening such a rerepocle at all, seemed to bear down also all minor precautionary rules (ere,' if there had been time to digest them): whilst the con tinued bounty of the public, which was hourly in creasing the amount of the subscription, appezred to demand a corresponding liberality in its application. Under these circumstance., the most important expe riment perhaps ever made w.s hazarded ; and the poor of the metropolis were informed by advertisements and placards that an Asylum was opened where the shoo- Intely destitute ud humorless were provided with food asil site Her, and where the appearance of misery was the only passport respsivite toe alosiaaisso-- The spacious premises in London wall, spontaneous ly offered to the public by the l•enevolent proprietor, (Mr. flick, of Clarapsiole,) were appropriated to this purpose, and the Committee are happy to state that such rapid progress was made in the necessary arrange: tarots, limit they were enabled 11 'open the asylum for the reception of inmates within six hours after the public nserting at which the subscription originated. It was, hootever, necessary that the relief afforded should nut he of a nature to invite persons of a supe rior class to those contemplated by the charity. The at lation for sleeping cotoisted in the metes wards of straw alpine. In the female wards, some additional bedding was provided, and each inmate was supplied night and morning with an allowance of nutritions soup, made un the promises, and a sufficient ration of bread. The internal management of the Establishment was entrusted to a house committee. appointed for the pur pose of general superintendence and the ability and seal with which this arduous drity was performed are beyond all praise. A Cottimittee for taking the exa mination of applicants, and a committee of finance were also appointed, which were respectively in con stant communication with the general rornmittee, whom their proceedings were sanctioned or controlled. The following table founded upon the reports re ceived from time to time from the House Committee, through their able and indefatigable chairman (J. Cszenove, jun.

"Many of the fenalles had not been tanght even to read, and almost all hail nei•rlected regligious duties for years. One of the first arrangements, therefore, of the Committee was, la. Scripture instruction, morning and evening, to call their attention to that most im portant object, and at the same time so to class and employ them during the day as to produce the greatest probable benefit. Such as could not read received lessons from a Monitor, appointed for that purpose; and the children under similar controul were kept regularly to school hours and exercises,since, although some of them might continue only one. day in the Asylum, the Co: ittee saw no tcasou that that day should not be well speut.

" In the course of the week three yonng women have been received into the Provisional Protection Society, two into the linardian Society, one into the Fever Hospital, one into St. Bartholomew's ; one young woman has been restored to her friends under cir cumstances of great interest : another has obtained a situation of service in a public institution ; two boys of notorious character have been sent to the Helve for the Destitute, one child to the Small-Pox Hospital,and eleven have been vaccinnated : a woman with four chil dren, accustomed to gain her living by selling fruit, but lately prevented by distress front so doing, has been en abled again to enter upon the means of provitlin4 for her family ; another in a most abject state of i:overty has been put into the way of recovering property un justly withheld, to the amount of 401. per annum ; a respectable woman, lately left a widow with eight children, after travelling front Staffordshire to Read ing to obtain assistance from the parish, and having the grief to find that her claim on that parish was disputed, and only 3s. allowed for her re•dtru, took refuge for a few nights in this asylum, together with two of her little ones whom she had brought with her : the lientlemets's committee provided her with the means of rettirnine to her family, and their kindness was received with the most affecting expressions of gratitude. " The number of inmates of the female side of the house, is now reduced to 43. The improvement n hirh has been effected in the course of only one week, has been truly striking and impressive. The great change in the appearance of most of the women, their ad vancement in cleanliness, their diligent application to their employment, their very serious attention when the scriptures were read to them, their evident grati tude, and their disposition to receive instruction, have hero midi as to afford the most heartfelt satisfaction ; and the Committee cannot but feel an earnest n isi, that nut even the most degraded of their fellow beings may I.e rejeeterl as hopeless or inaccessible, but that time principle of Chistian benevolence and Christian care nay be folly extended towards all.

At one o'clock a considerable number of persons bad assembled, and in a few minutes afterwards the great room was quite filled. At ten minutes after o!:e o'clock the Sheriff (Mr. Alderman Waithistan) entered the room, attended bt• ti. Byng, Esq. M. P., S. C. Whitbread, Esq., 31. P., Sir O. Noel, M. P., P. Mow Esq. M.

With this Heir:- sition he felt it his duty to comply, at be always should do when Requisitions, properly signed, were presented to him. This, lie could issure the Alerting, was Fre cisely the feeling of the Hormerahle Gentleman who was his colleague in office. For the absence of that Gentleman on this occasion be woulei shortly account, by sta:ing that he bast goue rip with the I it; I and dutiful Address of the Court of Aldermen to ha M jesty.—(Lond lattglai-.)—lt was inilispensibl• ne cessary that one of the Sheriffs should attend the Alerting, and therefore ie. (Alderman 11•sithmau) lead thought it his duty to come finial-it, though the Old Bailey was sitting; and one of the Under Sheriffs was obliged to attend in another place. The Worthy Sheriff expressed his regret at kn o wing that several Freeholders had assembled on Friday last, conceiving that the Meeting was to Lave leen held on 'thlt day. This had been c;i used by a paragraph which had ap peared in the public papers.

Alr. P. Moolor, in a speech of considerable !rug'''. entered full• into the conduct of the present Mieiste,r. and the disastrous effects produced by that couttnet. After several observations on the Green Bag System, which extended he said, as well to the Cetrstreet conspiracy, as to the case of her Majesty, he eoneluded by moving a Resolution, " That an Address be pre sented to his Majesty, praying him to dismiss his pre sent Ministers, and to take to his Counsels men wh4 possessed, awl who were worthy of the ronfiilene. of the country."—Tlue llonourable Gentleman was abort to rend the :Address, when Mr. Alderman Wuon observed, that the regular form was to put the Resolution first. It would be useless to lead an Address, when perhaps the Melting would nut consent to the Resolution upon which it w.,s founded. After a few muds from Mr. Alderman WOOD a:: I Mr. Sheriff WAITIIMA Mr. MILLs (of Bristol) said, lie had an nmenflment to propose to the Resolution. He wished to have it understood, that in the event of the removal of the present Ministers, those persons who may he cal:A to his Majesty's Counsels should pledge therloselv , -; to Retrenchment and immediate Parliamentry Iteffwai.

Mr. Mills was about to speak, but he was interrnred by lund groans and hisses. Mr. Alderman Noun spoke to ortler. As long as .v.
