DPW IItSI , IL FROM THE SWORD. BEA R F.Wit TA !Mi.. Mr. DAVIES presented a Petition from Mr. T.

They were Wetted to the Committee on Ilse subject. Mr. DAViall then brought op the Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into l'he Went of the 'finance. and to suggest a remedy. The attention of the Public had, he rejoiced to say, been most misinesly directed to this object ; but he regretted In say, It was the opinion of the Committee that the ' Magiatmey were so iremesantly engaged, as not to be able to ',Oder the •issistane• to the Cernmitee which might be effectual. The Cent, thereto,", moat devise who winos of abating the well, mid of ce11... the misery of than unhappy creatures, who wet. the netters of seducers and distress. It was well known that there were. number of of houses which afforded conveiden access, sod pursued pro. I . Iliene practice. in defiatice of the Magistrates; soar ii .truck the Committee, that if means were adopted for sh•lling up those houses, she greatest part of the • desires• in the •Ifeets would be dorm away. Ho knew that many difficulties would present themselves. but the subject was one that called upon humanity Oa Stioticly, as to render say hesitatiosi in attempting to snood toiler to the miserable olives 'Nothing len thee a crime. Common decency, which was every me. rent subject to violation, also called for the inter ference of the Coen, which wanted nothing to ac complish the object.- • (Applause.; The Report was then read and speed to, as was • also the draft of a Petition to Parliament. Mr. DIXON said, it was really a reproach to some of the Wards to allow the nuisance to be of such long continues-It. In Alderman Wood's Mayoralty the girls used to run off the moment the Lord Mayor's Peat was Mentioned, and the streets were compare. lively clear of them ; bet now there was very little restraint. That some election should be made was evident, bet care should be taken not to make it to such an ergot as to endanger stir wine and daughters, or to create a precious ituresse of bastards.—(Mor murr.) Mr. FAYSLL saM, it would be advisable have leek • question introduced to the House, particularly as it was now engaged its the consideration of the state of crime. Mr. Aldermen WAITHUCII was confident that as ell felt the magnitude of the evil complained of, they would be unonlmees in doieg s something tb prevent its continuance. At the same time there were many difficettin to encounter, of which he eras afraid moll of them were not aware. imputations had been east ors the City Magistrates, for what witseon sidereal as an indifference on their part to remedy the evil ; but be could assure the Court such impotatimut were HI founded, for the Magistrates did every thing they could toget rid of it. There were seven or eight houses io his *ern Ward which had been presented by the Inquest, and which. if prosecuted, most have cost seven or • eig ht bemired pounds. He in these CUP , consulted err Word Common Council, and am enquiry was lostitosed to see what 'videos. could he cottoned against the houses, but there was none.— ( near, hear!)—A saving thus of seven or eight lon* drmi pomade lead been swede. which would otherwise Mee been wetted improperly. I r houses of that Me rate, were presented, and no evidence could be pro. domed, it was olivine. that the 'Ail must not have bees s o great es was Imagined. lie had en great anti cipations of advantages resulting from a legislative measure on the subject, and he would seggest as his opinion, that the first and most important question was t• enquire how these females could be employed elms' being taken off the sweets.—(llcur, hear !) M any females were driven by necessity to the streets, and he knew whets from the cuasilry who must lave been forced to the same dreadful resources bet for the interposition of soma friends. li* applauded the motives by which the Committee were acteated, and Me would sincerely wish a practicable remedy adopt. ed. but he could not flatter himself of much good being effected by the imminence of the Legislature. Mr. JAMS censidered it was high Hoe nowt/till should be done, as there ins not a lowa or city in the e odd, he might say, where vice was so epee!, displayed , * in the metropolis. Mr. Iloacossist was of the same opinion. No house cf ill fame was in Castle Boynord Ward at present. OM had Wu, bat by persevering ever. times It was touted out.
