The Lotto Maims, on taking the Chair, and hear ing the statement of the advantages which have al. steady resulted from the plans adopted by the Com mittee, dielOnd that his most sanguine expectations bad been exceeded, and that he and his brother Ma. gistrates felt is the cirtumstante of the great quantity of disagreeable rt.ily employment that had been since its commehenotent taken off thek hands, the utmost confidence of success. He rejoiced to have this op portunity ni declaring what .he knew would go forth' , to the Public, to whom the intelligence was doe, that the Committee bad the highest claims upon their 'gratitude, and Oyu w Willi a very short time numbers of the alliictin4 objects is the streets of London would be disposed of beyond the probability of a re. lapse into that unhappy condition. Captain FRAN/LLANO, previously to thecommence meat of the discussion upon the epetifin object of the t.eting, mentioned that some seamen, who had pen sion' of 111. and 161. a year, were found begging in die streets • those certainly were not entitled to par ticipate In ;hat which was intended for the relief of the distressed ; on the contrary, they merited punishment, which he trusted the Lord Mayor was authorised to indict. The LOLID MAYOU repeated the 1111141f111100 he bad made before of a determination to render all the as sistsnce in his power, by the apprehension of such mencl:cants, and the disposal of them according to law. Captain FItANICLAND said, it was supposed by tante that the cause of his complaint originated in the want of vigilance upon the part of the Police Of. fiesta, and perhaps in the want Of integrity massi f-steel in taking bribes to permit the soliciting of chatty. ThP LORD MAYOR Did, he had suspected that an understanding dist kind existed between some of the Police Officers and the begglngseamen. He had told the former that be would instantly suspend any person guilty of such base conduit ; and he assured the Committee that nothing should change that in tention. The object of the Meeting was then brought for. word. Mr. LYALL objected to the principle upon which applications were made to the Committee for a sup ply of men, upon the ground that an opportunity was thus Riven to substitute seamen who were beggars, and had no characters, in the room of those whose conduct Wag irreproachable. This was evidently the case, if it appeared that there was a redundancy of seamen. Tnere was, besides, another very important objection, namely, that of making the candidates for emplolusent pa-a through pauperient and splendidly before they were supplied with an occasion for in dustry. This system would have the effect of-counter acting the polijsi.t of the Register Office, which was bow la progress, and which was established for the Investigation of the characters of applicants; fur it needed no argument to prove that the practice of giving employment to those who had no character was inconsistent with that of requiring an indis putable reference. The „nepieral sentiment was against the observations of M. The SECUETAUT observed, that there did not ap pear to him to be ground either for suspecting the Integrity of those poor fellows, or for giving them the name of beggars. The Committee had done no thing to confirm that imputation, Which bad, he thought, been erroneous!) , applied. Their wants proceeded, it was pretty generally known, from unit veidsble circumstances. They were not vagrants; the Committee were called upon to prevent them from be-m• made an, and it was a fact that they were generally men of gond character. The present pro. spect was certainly a pleasing one, for it presented the means of restoring those who were qualified to act, to the former comfort and independence of their condition. He did not think there was a redundancy of seamen : but if there were, it would Ise unjust that those upon whose interests the Committee was employed should suffer for the general body.—(4- pionse,) The statement laid before the Meeting compre hended-the following important facts : There are now in the River six ships for the use of the healthy seamen and one hospital ship. They are capable of receiving 1400 men. One thousand and forty -one have been already re ceived on board. One beatified and ninety-seven of thole have been disposed of effectually, some is merchants' service and others In the navy. • There are its attendance upon the slck r a Physician, a Surgeon, and two Assistant-Surgeons ) paid by the Committee. One Physician, Dr. Rankin, of the East India Company's service, attends gratuitously. There are now on board 859, all of whom, with tfie esception of about ten, have been serving io the Navy. . . The men certainly fit for service do not amount to less than 600. But four deaths hive taken place since the ships were fitted out for the reception of the men. About 120 have been cured of the itch. Those applicants for relief whom it was impossible to ac commodate at the commencement and during the prodigious influx of seamen in i the ships, the work. boon, and other places, were : supplied with three. pence each and a fourth of a quarters loaf every day.. Orders have been given for several days past to the officer of the Abundance receiving-ship to take all WRNS who apply on board for examination. Theis i>s a regulation which eraisrlopted.very pro dentlx when the Plan was proposed, that no person who ,had en isefectilus disease shoold be admitted amongst those poor fellows, whole poverty subjected , theee to trials eppeogh. The conduct adppted by the Committee, upon finding that there were grounds for apprehensions of elackiud, is to give su ode. quote provision to cite aliseeied, and elcilde him ~~.t ... \ M \ r . fret. alt inteecourso with those who would in all pre lability be great garters by the communication. In'the account laid before the Committee foreign seamen were not. forgotten. It was stated t hat Uteri were 59 foreigners. besides those of, Worm, who amounted to 48 ; and there was an unanimous de claration, that those who could not be provided Alb ships, and who wertoot very acceptable in their owe countries as Bird snits upon pablic support, in cense titmice of having Toeght for England, should be con-. sidered in the light of Englishmen. There appeared in a Sunday Paper a Letter. la which the conduct of the Committee wee attacked.-- That Letter was noticed upon this occasion, and declared to be a most gross falsehood. It related to' the application of a black man for relief, which it asserted was denied, end contained some comments upon the cruelty stated as having accompanied that denial. There appeared a vary general feeling of in dignation amongst the Committee against the author of the mis.statement. Whatever attacks they might be subject to from misapprehension on the part of others, or error open theirs, they congratolated themselves upon the un deniable fact, that they were instromental to the re lief of many poor fellows, who were now almost safely over the winter, and would have opportunities very soon of serving themseltes. After all necessary lo.* vestigation, those who were unable to re-enter the service should be sent home, in the event of the re. 'fusel 'of Government to 'take awn under its imme diate protection. The opinion of many was, that all of those who ere able to engage in active service will be disposed of in six 'seeks. Mr. Lv4SLL repeated his objection to the Plan, and asked whether those seamen were provident or metal ? Capt. FRATIELAND adstitted that seamen were in the habit of losing their money on coming oo coming into port. They thought nothing of it, and it was of very little consequeuce to them formerly, for as soon as it wes gene, they went ou board again. The case was different now—their money probably went the same way, but there did not mast the same oppor tunities of replacing it by -a return to labour. The Loan MAYOR begged that no distinctions should be drawn between those who were in service and those who were not. It ccold answer no good purpose. Mr. LYALL said, he was not thinking of distinc tions. He merely meant that those men shoald not be employed to die prejudice of others. A Resolution was passed, signifying that the num ber stated above were received on board the ships fitted up for the perpnse, and appointing the 14th of Fe bruary the last day of admission, eacept to those who labour ender bodily defect or infirmity. It was also determined to apply to the Admiralty to grant relief to such of the seamen as were unfit tor service; and a Select Committee was appointed to consider those several Resolutions, and report thereon. _ _ _ It was likewise resolved, that it should be the duty of a Special Committee to consider the most proper means of employing the seamen while on board the reception ships. Thanks having been voted to the Lord Mayor, the Meeting separated. The expences attending the Plan amounted to up wards of 8001. a week. MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JANUARY.
