Dr. CNA LAIEWS, of Glasgow, who has for et veral years assiduously devoted his attention to the sub ject of Panperisu and the Poor Laws, and who has pub fished some works containing the result both of his speculations and expesieneo, visited this town on Theirs day last, in the coarse of an extensive tour which he is now making through England, in order I. collect au thentic information on the state of English pauperism. Having signified to the Mayor his wish to meet the pa rich officers of the town, a meeting was convened and held accordingly, at the Court house. at seven o'clock in the evening, at which nearly all the parish officers and many members of the Corporation attended. Dr. Chal mers briefly stated his object in desiring this interview, which was to gain such information, as might enable him to judge of the practicability of reforming the poor laws, and !educing pauperism, in England. He had met with one parish, where the management of the poor was so good, that in a population of eight hundred people, only W. per anesm was expended in the relief of paw pers. in those parts of Scotland, where the English system of compulsory relief had not been introduced, the poor were thrown more on thei r own resources ; by which he meant not only their own economy and providential habits, bat also on the kindness of their relations, for support in time of exigency. In the manufacturing city of Glasgow, he considered that they were about half as far gone in pauperism as at Manchester. When lie removed from his former parish to that city, he found the parish of St. John's, in which he Was then situated, like the other parishes of Glasgow ; but ho formed the de., sign of carrying it bark to the old state, i. e. doing away with the. English system of parochial relief. His NW cess had been greater than he could possibly have 111134 peeled : the system of pauperism had been in a great measure done away, and the people were now better off than they had been before. He came hither as a learner; his object was to collect authentic particulars concern ing the state of pauperism in England; and he W4ll greatly obliged to the Mayor for having brought !din into contact with gentlemen so well obis; to give the in formation be was in want of. Dr. Chalmers then proceeded to put a series of ques tions, calculated to educe the information which be de sired concerning the system of parochial management, the amount of poor rate, the treatment of Irish and Scotch paupers, ke., to which he generally received ready and specific answers. When he made the inquiry, whether the system of parochial relief in this town had tended to lower the independent spirit of the poor, and render them less reluctant to apply for parish aid, he vs ceived a general and decisive answer in the affirmative. lie asked whether the Act, passed a few years ago, ens powering parishes to remove Irish paupers who applied for relief, had been carried into effect in this town; and was inform-d that it had at the time been acted upon, that some removals had taken place, and that the effect was the cessation of Application for relief from the Irish, who did not however in any considerable numbers leave the town, but who, thrown upon their own resources, contrived to support themselves without parochial as sistance, and seemed to he as comfortable now as before This information the Doctor seemed to prize; and lie related the extraordinary fact, that in Diancliester (ac cording to the information he had received there), before the Act empowering the removal of the Irish passed, more than one-third of the paupers in that town were Irish ; that the 14W haring been acted upon, they ceased to apply for relief, but did not remove from the town, and yet that they were now in as much apparent comfort a s tt ben they received so tench of the town's money.

Dr. Chalmers declared, that he should be sorry if Parliament were to pass such an Act, as would he fol- lowed up by an immediate movement throughout the country, or would cause any violent (return anon : hie present idea was, that it would be advisable to pass an 'a; Act, allotting any parish to alter its mode of giving. re- . i : ..• lief, and to adopt the Scotch system, thus nuking ex- periments of its efficacy 1 anti be thought it would he better that the trial should he first made by the sma.l . • agricultural parishes, and the inielioration of the pre- It sent system be gradual.
