THE LICENSTNG SYSTEM% - The sittings of the Conference which has been convened in London for the purpose of promoting the revision of the present licensing system were re sumed yesterday morning in the Lower Room of Exeter Hall, Lord Li c hfi el d pres idi n g. Among tho se present, in addition to those who took part in the deliberations of the previous day, were Mr. Mon tagu Chambers, (IC., M.P., Mr. W. W. Bram ston-Beach, Kr., Hon. S. 'filly, of New Bruns k, and r. Bak er , J . P., o f Gloucestershire. Bruns wick, ie In opening the proceedings, The noble CHAIRMAN said that the words ascribed to him in our report of his speech delivered on Tues day—,, that the law at present was sufficient to correct abuses if it were efficiently administered"— did not convey entirely what be meant to express. What he wished to submit to the Conference was [between the two statements we can recognise no ma t er ial difference] that the provisions of the law sufficient c i c f orrespondence from gentl emen w h o it were vigorously and severely weree w n r f o o t r e c et o d. After some express Conference was read , • The noble CHAIRMAN reminded the meeting that they were now to proceed to the discussion of an amendment to the second resolution, proposed yes terday by Mr. Steinthal, of Manchester. The se cond resolution proposed that the power of granting licenses for the sale of intoxicating;liquor to be drunk on the premises be v ested in stipendiary magistrates, periodical court s s i m il ar t o th ose barristers. The amendment rneetsinßgoard should be appointed, suggested who sgi ed w se o tde u do l dvt over hold obt a y d after the:manner adopted in the election of l ßoards of Guardians—that is to say, by the ratepayers. The Rev. Dr. GARRETT, of Manchester, said he was of opinion that the Government should retain their responsibility ou the subject, and hoped that the power of licensing would not be given to small local bodies. Mr. TAYLOR said there were great difficulties in the way of administering the licensing system. £75,000,000 per annum were spent in the purchase of intoxicating liquors. Statistics proved that there were 25,00) convicted drunkards, but very few publicans were punished, although the fact was that where ss. or 103. was the nomitilkl flue for drunkenness, publicans could be mulcted in sums ranging from £5 to £2O for selling drink to persons in a state of intoxication. The Rev. Dr. RICHARDSON, a Catholic clergyman, amid considerable interruption, said that working men required some relaxation as well as those of the upper classes, and if they closed beer and public houses they should open up for them other institu tions to which they could have recourse during their 41§1u0 bout& it wit often from ki4Essity, MR.

Intending Sub3eribers ,are respectfully requested to send in their natties earl London : Virtue ancltO!, la, fiy-lane, Paternoster-row. This proposal gave rise to some discussion, during which it was urged, on the one side, that it was the object of the C..mference rather to get possession of facts from persons well acquainted with the sub ject in hand than to specify any particular remedy at present. It was admitted on all hands that the Beerhouse Act had proved a sad f.tilure. Promises to amend it had been made by the Home Secre taries of two successive Ministries, and had not been carried out, but the practical experience of those who had studied the question would cer tainly produce its effect on Parliament. The amendment went the length of the Permissive Bill, and even further. On the other hand, it was urged that Government alone should not be re sponsible for the licensing system ; that the rate payers should share in it, and the sooner they awak ened to the consciousness of their duty in the matter the better for the community; that if the Excise were not the fit- depository of the licensing power, and the magistrates little better suited for dispensing it, and the appointment of stipendiary magistrates was not approved, there was no remedy left but that some special board should be elected by ths rate payers. The amendment was, however, witOrawn. The Rev: Mr. sTACICSON (one of the dept.& tion from Leeds nominated by a public meeting of the people of , that borough) then proposed a very lengthy amendment, to the effect that the power of granting licensea.should remain with justices of the peace ; that all licences for houses where exciseable drink was sold should be granted by the magistrates, and not, as in some cases at present, by the Excise ; and that ratepayers, either directly upon certificate or indirectly through municipal councils and boards of guardiais, should have the power of restricting ma gistrate in their granting of licences. The rev. gentleman said the local magistrates were those upon whom a greater pressure of public opinion could be brougbt to bear than could be imposed on any other conceivable body. Beerhouses in rural districts were often as bad as publichouses, and required the su pervision and vigilance of the authorities. The Most Rev. Dr. MANNING said the licensing power was at present in the hands of thosewho were neitherdiscerning nor impartial. llis present opi nion, however, was that the local magistrates should retain it, for they were most to be recommended as. depositaries of the power, both on account of their position, their intelligence, and their acquaintance with the circumstances of their respective districts. Stipendiary magistrates would have to get their knowledge of places through strangers, and that must necessarily be superficial. The ratepayers should also-have their share in the power, for they had the greatest interest in the morality of their own neigh-. bourhoods, and possessed the strongest and most certain judgment as to what was good and bad for the localities in which they resided. In a- conversation. which followed, in which Mr.' Patterson, the Rev. H. Solly, Mr. Holden, Mr. S. Pope, Mr. Bramston-Beach, M.P., Mr. Saunders, and the Rev. Mr. Marsh, of Oxford, took part, many diverse considerations were urged, among others, that stipendiary magistrates should be' appointed. That they worked well in other cases was shown by the fact that th 3 magistrates of the metropolitan police-courts were paid officers as well as those ,in other large towns and cities. The Board of Guardians were not proper depositories of the licensing power, for they were of all others the most open to corrupting influences, and a moral as well as a legislative force would have to be, em ployed before working men could be induced to practise habits of sobriety and prudence. There was a difficulty with regard to the manner in which the ratepayers would exercise their veto, for many of them would abstain from it, and the old abuses continue either wholly or partly. The only remedy for that would be to compel them to exercise the privilege just as they are now compelled to serve on petty juries. Great benefit had resulted from restricting;the hours during which publichouses could be kept open on Sundays, and that was a strong * argument why they should be closed altogether on the Sabbath. There was no principle in the present system, and licences were granted not on amount of the respectability of the applicants, but in con sideration of the size of their houses and the acorn modation they afforded. The main law of political economy was being violated and ignored ; for whereas, with regard to every other class of com modities, demand created supply, in this case the supply was allowed to induce the demand. The Hon. S. L. TILLY, of New Brunswick, said that the question before the conference was a most important one, and not to be dealt with in a day. He was of opinion, from his own experience, that free trade in liquor extended evil. in Nova Scotia the ratepayers had the right to put a veto on the decision of the grand jury. The question was, how to limit or annihilate the system, and though he was not prepared to specify any means of carrying out the proposed reform, he strenuously advised them not to recommend free trade in liquor traffic. The noble CHAIRMAN agreed with the first and second parts of the amendment—namely, those which proposed that the licensing power should be left with the magistrates, and that all places where in intoxicating drink was sold should be under the same control. With reference to the third part of the amendment, be could not so fully agree. lle thought it would be advisable to raise the qualifications as to rating of the landlords of publichouses, and altogether on the point to which he was speaking, he believed the Liverpool Bill (of which the provisions are given below) Was the more satisfactory measure. The amendment was carried unanimously. The Rev. Sir LOVELACE STAMER said that the ratepayers should be judges as to what were the wants of a district as regarded a supply of liquor, and also suggested that women should be in no case allowed to hold licences. He moved that the debate on the question be adjourned for three weeks. The motion for adjournment having been carried, Mr. MONTAGU CHAMBERS, ci.c ~ M.P., said that under the present system memorials for and against the licensing of publichouses were got up by open canvassing, so that when magistrates came to judge of the merits of a particular case, they were obliged to believe neither one party nor the other, but make their decision on their own personal knowledge after inspection. That was a difficulty they had to contend with, and they should endeavour to arrange the details of any scheme adopted by them, so that the canvassing of rateyayers and householders (for they too were to be taken into consideration) should be prevented. Large well-fitted houses were built at the corners of all our new streets, and he was not afraid to say that rich brewers and distillers were instrumental in a great degree in bringing about such a state of things. If a restraining power was to be employed, they should be careful that it be not turned into an instrument of evil. Mr. LAWRENCE, who came as a deputation from the magistracy and corporation of Liverpool, gave a sketch of the clauses of a bill adopted for introduc tion into Parliament. The provisions of the mea sure are that there should be one licensing autho rity, one system of licensing ; that there should an be one licensing charge — £ 3s for large\ cities, d graduated according to population in the smaller towns ; a, reduction of 30 , per cent, to be allowed to houses which did not trade on Sundays. The fit ness of the character of applicants for licences was to be judged by the magistrates and a certain rate able value to be set on publichouses ; the wants of districts with regard to a supply of liquor to be estimated byl the ratepayers. Publichouses were to be open, not as now, from 4 in the morning till 1 a.m., but from 7 in the morning till 11 at night. On Sundays they were to be open from 1 to 3 in the atternooa, awl from 8 to 10 in -the -mains, power being reserved to the magistrate to restrict their hours still further. After a certain number of con victions forfeiture was to ensue, the penalties to range from £2O and downwards. When it was in contemplation to devote a building in course of con stru.tion. to the purposes of selling liquor notice of such intention wag to be given to the householders of the locality. When three-fourths of the ratepayers agreed that c-rtain were rot nec ssa! y that resolution wits to be decisive, and when me morials were drawn up penalties were to be enforced in the case of the forgery of signatures. Rev. Dr. GARRETT opposed that part of the Bill relating to the Sunday question. Iu Liverpool alone 41,149 were in favour of the entire closing of publichouses on Sundays, and out of 1,300 publi- Cans 700 had expressed their approval of the same project. He believed the Conference should have no sympathy with the Bill as far as it concerned the Sunday closing movement. The afternoon meeting then adjourned. At the evening sitting Mr. B. Baker, J.P., of Glocestershire, took the chair. Rev. H. SOLLY read a memorial which has been adopted by . the members of Working Men's Clubs and Institutes for presentation to the Home Secre tary, in which it was stated that there were 100,000 publichouses, and 45,000 beer souses throughout the country; that in Staffordshire there were 2,301 public and 2,769 beer houses, or one to every 28 families ; and in Lancashire there were 15,388 of these places, or 1 to every 31 families. Mr. STEINTHAL rose to address the meeting on the Liverpool Bill, and said that, though he agreed with the general aims of the measure, he could not approve some of its details. For instance, im munity from increase of licence and higher assess ment was to be granted to the present holders of public houses, which he believed to be injudicious. He also thought that public houses should not be opened on Sunday, when the working men had their wages at their disposal, and temptations to indul gence were strongest. But other provisions of the bill were admirable : the fact that bonds were re quired from the landlords and also their sureties for good behaviour, and the tax and assessment on public houses. With regard to penalties, he con sidered it better to fix a minimum instead of a maxi mum. With respect to the number that should exercise the veto, he thought three-fourths too large. He concluded by moving a resolution approving the general scope of the bill. Dr. Martin, of Warrington, and Mr. Jowett, of Leeds, supported the resolution, which was opposed by Mr. Smith, a working man, who said the effect of the bill, if carried, would be to set class against class, and by Dr. Garrett, who said the measure was loose in principle, and that it would tend to increase the liquor trade. He moved an amend ment against that part of the proposed measure which related to the opening of public houses on. Sundays. The amendment was seconded by Mr. Gale, and the discussion was continued by Mr. T. Webster, Q.C., and Mr. S. Pope, barrister-at-law; but it was ultimately withdrawn. Mr. C. SIMMONDS, a working man, moved a second amendment, to the effect that the licensing pOwer should be invested in the ratepayers sitting as a petty jury; but this was ruled out of order, and consequently not pressed. The debate on the substantive resolution was then continued, during which it was especially dwelt upon that the regulation in the bill that beer houses should get licences for dancing on the pre mises was restrictive, for hitherto in the provinces no such licenses were required, contrary to the prac tice prevailing in London. Mr. LAWRENCE, wilco/had charge of the bill, and Mr>',VriEINTHAL having rentted i llle resolution was put and carried. A vot. of tiLinks to the chairman terminated the proceedings, after which the con ference adjourned. _ _ We have been requested to state that there will be a meeting of the executive committee on Satur day week, and that information regarding the ob jects of the Conference can be obtained from Mr. C. Ribton Turner, 1, Alma-square, N.W., to whom all communications are to be addressed. The Distress in the East of London. MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF FUND. The fund now being raised by the committee, of which the Lord Mayor is chairman, for the relief of the prevailing distress, especially in the east of Lon don, amounted last evening to nearly £B,OOO, and they had made grants in all amounting to £4,505 since Tuesday week to be distributed by local com mittees among the destitute people. At two o'clock the general committee held a meeting at the Man sion-house. There were present :—The Lord Mayer, Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Alderman Finnis, Mr. Sheriff Lycett, Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. Wm. Leaf, Mr. Christopher Gabriel, Mr. W. J. Max well, Mr. Philip Cazenove, Mr. Robert Wigrarn, the Rev. T. J. Rowsell, the Rev. F. G. Blomfield, the Rev. Wm. Rogers, Mr. Frederick Thompson, Mr. Henry Goschen, Mr. Alfred Rothschild, Mr. Gilliat, Mr. John Holms, and Mr. Gibbs. Tlie committee started yesterday with a clear available balance of about £4,420. There were many deputations from the distressed districts in waiting. A local committee from the Tower-hill district, which is very large and wretchedly poor, inhabited mostly by dock labourers out of work, attended the' meeting and brought under its notice the deplorable condition of the labouring classes there. Of a population of 23,000, at least 16,000 are labouring people ordinarily in the receipt of daily wages, and hundreds are represented as standing idle about the entrances to the docks from day to day waiting for employment. The Local Relief Committee are spending about £lOO a day in sus taining the starving prople. A case was mentioned, among others, where the relief visitor found a man and his daughter in almost the last stage of destitu tion in a wretched apartment. They had parted with almost every available thing, except in what they stood. The visitor ordered some instant re lief, and the girl went out - to obtain it ; but before she could return with it her father had died. In St. Mary's, Newington, there is a population. of I 43,000 —extending on the north from Dover-road, southward, and on the south by Kennington-park —fully three-fourths of whom aro,ofktilnie labeoopulrei_ng classes. About a third of the s%or g p mostly employed in the building tradielsraz d fi f r a n e l t s or h i a e d s —.are out of wo rk. Many of the 0 discharged great n umbersoft p h r e o ir du li c a e n d d g s, re a a n t dtbel a te severity of the weather had des titution and consequent illness. St. Mary's, IVhite chapel, has a population of about 24,000, including St. Jude's as well, and comprising all Whitechapel north of Alie-street. Four-fifths of them are of the labouring class, and a large propertion of them arc in want. They are mechanics,dock labourers, coster mongers, s empstresses, tailoresses, &c. The distress i s a scribed to want of employment, especially in the docks, a general paralysatiun of trade, the frost, exhaustion of means, and emphatically improvidence. The general character of the people is industrious, though poor. The Whitechapel Relief Society has been in active operation for about a month, distri buting bread, coals, and meat, and about 150 gallons of soup daily. The Rev. T. J. ROWSELL, a member both of the Mansion-house Committee and that of the Bishop of London, took occasion to say, in reference to the destitution in Whitechapel, that on Wednesday, ac companied by the clergyman of the district and a city missionary, he visited the district of St. Paul's there, and that he never saw anything like the pre vailing wretchedness. The people were literally starv ing, and he could give names and details which he was sure would harrow the feelings of the commit tee. In places into which he went he saw children stark naked. Again; he said, the whole waterside trade was paralysed, especially in Rotherhithe and During the sitting of yesterday a very efi: rata and general protest, in which the Lord Mayor con curred, was made among the members of the com mittee, and especially by Mr. S. Morley, Mr. J. A, Smith, M.P., and the Rev. W. Rogers, against the committee, with the funds at their disposal, under taking to relieve ordinary distress, the relief of which properly devolved upon the poor law orga nisation, and against any part of the fund going to ease the poor rates. They contended that they were a committee to mitigate Furely exceptioird, as dis tinguished from ordinary, distress in the ag;.;regat% and especially exceptional distress among the lab , , nr .. ing classes bordering both sid es o f t h e r i ver, -‘ here, from a number of concurrin g causes , the de:..titattion t w h a e s d u a n y p r t i l • i c ,t : t ‘d i e n n t s c e , instances o tec i li cl n a t h " or - se o f c e otii) Ai flees had been expressly Unn e d to ma k e appl' dons to share in the fund at the disposal of the Lord Mayor's committee, and that little or no local effort had been previously made, even in subut•ban neigh bourhoods with a considerable infusion of wealthy inhabitants to relieve the exceptional distress. A case in point was furnished in West Kensington, where the rates are only 7i-d. in the pound, as com pared with ss, and even Cs. in the pound in some of the poorest districts of the metropolis. A small de putation from West Kensington attended yesterday to ask for a grant, but the committee unanimously and emphatically declined to entertain the application. The committee yesterday made the following grants :—To the Tower-hill district, £3OO ; St. Mary's, Newington, £lOO ; St. Mary's Whitechapel, £2OO ; the Haggerstone Soup Kitchen, £27 ; a dis trict in Saffron:hill, £25 uuder special circum stances; Lambeth (waterside..diatrict), £2OO ; St. Thomas, Charterhouse, 1.50 ;---Ceist.cterss- Soup Kitchen, Clerkenwell, £3O ; and the German House of Mercy in Victoria-park, £25. • The Pi oposed Reform L eague Demonstration OFFICIAL PROGRAMME.
