R. M. and C. BAXTER, 48, Lincoln's Inn, Plaintiff's Solicitors. A T a MEETING held at LONDON lIOUSE, on Saturday, December 2, 1843, it was resolved to form en ASSOCIATION for PROMOTING the RELIEF of bESTITUTION, and for IMPROVING the CONDITION il-,•,(4 the POOR in the METROPOLIS, by EANS of PA OCRIAL and DISTRICT VISITING : h and after several intermediate meetings, it was resolved, on Saturday, De cember 16, to adopt and circulate the following Address and Regulations The object which this Association has in viewi s, not merely 10 administer immediate relief in cases of extreme destitution, °.e of pressing want, but to improve the social, moral, and re liious condition of the poor, by means which have been tried, on a limited scale, in certain districts, and which have been vr e " l.l in proportion to the completeness of the system 'ell has been put into operation, and the care with which it ,11!as been worked. It is obvious that to dispense pecuniary re- Jif ndiscriminately, and with reference solely to the apparent actual necessity of the case, without inquiry as to the past, or provision for the future, is, to say the least of it, but a half r t r i t i easure of charity, and has a tendency to generate or increase aL ver Y evils which it seeks to cure. An inquiry into the —e s of distress, and into the best means of preventing its rareFurence, by infusing into those who labour under it sound nej,,i e _ rich , 3 of action, and forming them to habits of economy, -- " Bt rY, and foresight, is obviously necessary, to ensure to the . !zealous of benevolence their proper results. Mere liberality l '=a n u a S hblithi gt "accompanied by an endeavour to remove the th e " of that destitution which calls it forth, will not answer iliquirentents of Christian charity. thd y , v , ew of the subject plainly implies the necessity of codm wanil r eligious and moral instruction with the, relief of . bodily the ar ul of making the latter, as it were, a preparative for of th °nner. And, therefore, although the primary design to tit: And, is, to furnish the means of administern stir aldinsta eitre rne necessity o f t h e poor , a ft er d ue i n qui r y into th g e ,uee, of each particular case, its ultimate object is, to vat :: t ren u m„,,„ the moral causes which create or aggravate Parts of l3 c e h n e° courage prudence, industry, and cleanliness, as ttween tho.ps,ttan duty, and to promote kindly feelings ale be e uy the d• c 'osea of violet which are kept so far nd e e ff ectel, e i r t en i e eef their wo y rldly cond . itio . ns..

They are, in virtue of their office, do'lroaners, as well as instructors, of the people ; nor can it be taubted that the evils under which the poorest classes labour our crowded cities and towns, have been greatly aggravated _by the inadequacy of our parochial system, with its existing Inner'', to meet the wants of an overwhelming pope !Y+ two, Tim e things are necessary, in order to replace the social stern in a healthy state ; a more direct and friendly intercourse between the different classes of society, and the general incul cation of Ch r i s ti an pr i nc i ples.

EXTRACT from the FOURTEENTH SHEET of TESTI- BIONIALS in favour of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, which are acknow ledged to be all that are required to conquer disease, and prolong life. From Mr. J. SMITH, Glasgow. " GENTLEMEN,— I have been troubled for years with a dreadful palpitation of the heart, accompanied with great nervousness and debility, for which I have tried everything you could mention, all to no purpose, till I heard of PARR's wonderfni LIFE PILLS, and a friend of mine desired met) try them, which I did. I bought them of Mr. Nelson, and I am happy to say that a box of them has completely restored me. " If this will do anything to help your efforts you can make use of it.

CASH wishes t• have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S PILLS, and lbels assured they have been the means of saving his life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers ia this neighbourhood. " Dean Slll,—l have been for the last two years dreadfully afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, se that I could scarcely eat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able to lie down for nine months; having had the advice of several medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a friend to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent medicines, I thought I might as well throw my money away. I began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast wasting away with a violent pain in my head; at last my friend got me a box from your shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried them, being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I had taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am new happy to say I am as well as ever I was in ley life, and shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wondextkil. (Signed) " THOMAS CASH. " Witness—John Thorpe." " Mr. PARRY has been afflicted with sore eyes for twelve years, and has tried everything he could hear of without the least oenefit, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PIL 14s, his eyes are quite well, and have been for some time. " Mrs. SMITH has been troubled with a pain In her head for many years, has had tke most respectable medical advice, without receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken three bores of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box t• persons troubled with a sick head-ache; I shall always have a supply by me.

WOODWARD, Chemist, "To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " GENTLEURN,—The benefit I have received by the use of OLD PARR'S PILLS, induces me, out of gratitude to the Proprietors, and a wish to be of use to the whole world, to add another testi monial to the numbers you have already reeeived. For the last two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders in my head and stomach. I think I may venture to say 1 have not had an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of smelling was entirely gone, and the most agreeable 'perfume or the most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had the advice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this town and others, but without the least benefit, and I had dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in fact my life was becoming burdensome to me, until I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and before I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return. I have recommended them, and shall do so, as I feel I cannot do sufficient for the benefit I have received.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged arid grateiul servant, " I'IENRY NASH.

GENTLIMEN,—When I was appointed your agent for the sale of PARR'S PILLS, I did not anticipate a large sale for them, there being so many kinds of Pills already before the public; but I am happy to inform you that I have sold nearly 1,000 boxes, and require a fresh supply. Numerous are the cases of relief being afforded in rheumatic, asthmatic, and liver complaints, sick head. ache, coughs, colds, and diseases of the stomach and digestive organs, by taking these pills. Medicine which produces so much good to the human frame, and helps to prolong life, should be uni. versally recommended.

The Supplement will present an elegant novelty, copiously illustrated with a series of beautiful Glyphographic Drawings, each worthy to be purchased for its intrinsic merit. A full account of this new art, with clear directions to students for exercising it, so that any one having a taste for drawing may at once bring it to the test, by working his own designs. In the Number which opens the new Volume, a correct View of the Royal Exchange will be given, with a great variety of entertaining, valuable, and curious matter. A Lord Mayor's Stories, as told two hundred and forty-three years ago, will prove not a little striking. The Number will also contain a notice of the Noble House of Durham, with an Heraldic Engravilig. The Proprietors have the satisfaction to find, as is very generally acknowledged, that during the past year no effo r ts have been spared to give addition a l interest and importance to a publication which has ranked as a favourite with the higher as well as the middle classes for more than twenty years. The promises made by Popular Writers and eminent Professors who had engaged to enrich its pages with their communications have been made good, and no Ma gaz;ne'of the day has been able to lay before its readers more varied or more valuable original matter. Its widely extending connexions enable the. Proprietors to furnish the, earliest and most correct announcements of all discoveries in Art, Science, and Nature, that arc interesting to the friends of Literature. Some of the most striking historical tales which the season has prdsluced, tales not composed of maudlin sensibilities, but valuablAillustrations of the annals and mariners of former days; translations of standard works of French and German authors by the ablest hands, for " The Mirror" exclusively, have also within the same period diversified its columns. The Reviews which have appeared have been free and im partial, not merely authors' prefaces and booksellers' puffs, which indolence and meanness have often been content to adopt as such. Engravings of the Heraldic honours of Noble Houses have been introduced one in each week. In the accompanying notices no party spirit has been allowed to enter, and some memorable scenes have been recalled, which in ordinary Peer ages would be sought for in vain. The valuable assistance of a Gentleman most intimately acquainted with everything that relates to Heraldry, and with the history of all the moat illus trious names of England, will in future enable the Conductors of " Tne Mirror," as it proceeds, to correct errors which may have unavoidably occurred in their own case, as well as in 'other publicitions. Additional care will be bestowed, so that the series, when complete, may 'form a most valuable and original work for reference. It will comprise interesting facts drawn from the most authentic sources (in m any cases exclu sive), relative to the origin of a ll t h e ' grea t families of the nat ion.

Hall, John Oxenford, Charles Oilier, Camilla Toulmin, R. B. Pitman, Miss Skelton, W. F. Ainsworth, Catherine Hutton, Leman Blanchard, the late Dr. Maginn, Reviews of Charles Dickens, &c. " Mr. Ainsworth opens his new tale of St. James's, or the Court of Queen Anne,' with much animation and directness of purpose, bringing us at once, and without ceremony, into the company of some of his leading personages. Mr. Ainsworth has been singularly fortunate in his choice of subject ; and his dexterous introduction of the wily adventurer Guiscard will give him an opportunity, in due course, of exhibiting his admi rable descriptive powers to advantage. The dialogue between Marlborough and his wife, where Abigail is the theme of their discourse and the object of their suspicion, is in the author's most natural and forcible manner, being a correct index to cha racter—the greatest recommendation that dialogue can possess. Charles Oilier's Benighted Traveller' is told so pleasantly, that it is impossible to read it without interest. Daphne of Antioch' describes with much minuteness of detail that enchant ing and voluptuous spot. In the present chapters of ' John Manesty,' the plot begins to clear up a little. Jemmy Scrap' is a sprightly tale. Long Hours,' by Mrs. S. C. Hall, is conceived in a kindly spirit. By the way of wind-up to our notice, we may state that a charming likeness of the Editor, from the pencil of Maelise, who has presented him in most pic turesque and exalted mood, seated in a high-backed Elizabethan arm-chair, adds greatly to the value ana attractions of the num • ber."—Sun.

FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. CITY, FRIDAY EVENINO. TIMES.—At the General Court of the South Sea Com. pany held to-day, the recommendation to make the transfer (lays of the stock and annuities the same as at the Bank, vir,, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. and Friday, was adopted. The Sub-Governor stated, that a letter had been received (rota Sir James Graham in reply to the address voted at the last Court. The purport of it was, that he could not advise her Majesty to accept the office of Governor of the Company. Thu, deficiency to be supplied for the half-year is 4,4711. Ds. H.' This must be paid by Government. The commercial summary of the Calcutta Englishman notices the great abundance of money as having led to in creased shipments of produce, and predicts that the indigo crop will prove the largest ever known in the coun t ry , t h e estimate d quantity bein g t 55,000 mounds for shipment, and that of a better quality tinsn usual. The productive powers of the island of Java are attracting general attention, but the Calcutta journalist expects a trial of strength with that island. A re• duction of the transit duties through the Bhaugulpore terri tories had been announced in a Government notificatioe, and had excited interest, not so much from its importance, as be cause it was a proof that the Government was turning its atten tion to the removal of commercial obstacles. Tie steam-ship Hindostan, which left Calcutta on the morning of the 13th of November, had on board, according to the same summary, several parcels of silk, for transmission by the Overland route. This, it is said, is the first instance of goods being tent to. Eng land direct across the Isthmus of Suez; but the example is ex pected to be followed, the additional celerity of the voyage more than compensating for the extra freight of 15/. per tort. There have also been shipments of rags to the London market, and this opens a trade which has hitherto been monopolised by the Italian States. Both the silk and the rags were shipped, it is said, by Messrs. Aylmer and Co., of Calcutta. As the readers of the Calcutta Englishman, perceiving the indigo to be there estimated at 195,000, may think the esti mate has bet n misquoted here, they should be informed that, according to a letter from the editor of that journal, 155,000 is the right figure, and the other is a misprint. The letters from Irdia of the Ist of December. via Mar seilles, were received in town to-day, having come from Alex andria to Malta on the 27th tilt, by her Majesty's steamer Alecto. The remaining letters, via Southampton, are ex pected in London on or about Wednesday next, and in all p bability the Alecto will bring tl4m to Southampton, thl% vessel having been ordered by Admiral Sir E. Owen to Ire ready to start far England from Malta on the day after her arrival. The statement publ:shed by the Bank of France, which was inserted in the Times of Thursday last, contained the oficial account of its position and operations fur the last quarter, end ing the 26th of December, 1843. From this statement it ap. pears that the specie in the Bank amounted to 247,230,0.50 f, the bills discounted, including the branch banks, to 98,845,493 e; the advances on bullion to 3,197,800 f .; a n d th e loans on publk securities to 5,733,7C6f. The other side of the account shows that the amount of notes in circulation was 232,835J:00f. ; the balance due to the Tres. Bury in account current 109,746,276 f. ; and the balances clue on private deposit accounts 43,092,732 f.

The amou n t o f bills under discount is about 18 times as lug* as the advances on stocks, the first being 3,900,0001., and the latter 220,000/. The specie held by the Bank of France is about 9,700,009/s sterling, against an issue of notes of about 9,100,000/ sterl POST.—An extraordinary committee (for general purposes.) of the Stock Eaehange was summoned to-day to take into con sideration the propriety of keeping the house open to-marrow (Saturday) after the accustomed hour, on account of the late notice issu e d by the Bank of England, relative to the time allowed for making transfers in the stocks about to open, namely, Consols and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. ; when the following resolution was agreed to : " Resolved—That, in consequence of the notice from, the Bank of England, that transfers may be made in Consols and New Three .and-a- Half per Cents, till half past two o'clock on Saturday, the 6th instant, this house will be kept open till four o'clock.—By order of the Committee, (Signed) " G. W. YOUNG." It sl.ould be observed that the preceding announcement ap plies only to the present occasion, the opening of the stocks particularised falling upon a Saturday ; the public might other wise be betrayed into the supposition that either the Stock Er change or the Bank of England will be kept open beyond the time spec:fied by the late regulations. The broker for the Commissioners made this morning the largest purchase he has done at all in the course of the series. It was in the Three per Cent. Reduced market. The price given was 9a, the jobbers generally evincing an anxious desire to furnish the sum wanted. The quotations at the close of business were even a shade better than what was named as hav ing regulate i the dealings after four o'clock yesterday. It may be p ro p er t o men ti on , f or the guidance of the public, that the whole of the Funds will now be open, and that the sales and purchases in Consols and the New Three-and-a• Hal per Cent. Stock may be made until the 17th instant, upon the payment of 2s. 6d. for private transfer. The dividends will be paid to the public on Tuesday next. SUN.—The English Funds left off steady, a limited business having been done, as the revenue accounts will appear to morrow, and parties will then know what chance there may be of a reduction in the rate of interest. Consols closed at 975 ; Bank Stock receded to 1851. There were very few further operations in the Foreicn market, Spanish 'Threes closing at 30i; the Fives at about 211- - , to 22 ; Peruvian for Account at 221; Dutch New Fives at 99g ; and Colombian at The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been *hese —Eastern Counties were 12i; Brighton, 6a; Green wich, 7i ; Midland Counties, 12 ; North Midland, 10; and South Eastern, 14,1,- discount. Edinburgh and Glasgow New, 24 ; Hull and Selby, 95 ; Brighton Loan Notes, 1i ; South Western, 338 ; and Northern and Eastern, 7 3 / 4 premium. Australasia Bank Shares were 2 premium ; and Colonial, 121 discount. There was a general decline in the rates of the Foreign - changes.

HORRIBLE INFANTICIDE.—The Court of Assizes of Bonches-du-Rhone was occupied en the 2d ult. with the trial of the widow Clarelly, aged 62, her daughter Marie Clavelly, aged 31, and the aunt of the latter, Rosalie Deems, aged 60, for having, on September the 22d, murdered a new born child by pouring boiling-water down its throat. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoners all lived together at Aix, in great respectability, with the mother of the t r elder prisoners, an old woman of 99, whom they treated with the most filial affection. On the night of the murder the younger prisoner was suddenly taken ill, and, after an hour passed in g reat pain, confessed to her moth er an d eas t th a t s h e was in labour, and would be soon delivered. The two elder prisoners were horror-struck at the disgrace thus about to be thrown en the family, and they determined to kill the child. As soon as it was born they poured hot water down its throat; and then pressed the windpipe until life had fled. They informed the younger prisoner that the child was dead, and the aunt went and laid it in the street. Sofne persons in passing found it there, and the authorities having been informed of tie circumstance, immediately institute) an investigation, which brought to light the fact that the younger prisoner was ill, and had lately been delivered of a child. The limily were taken up on suspicion, and the two elder prisoners confessed that the child had been made away with by them as stated above. On the trial, when asked what. could have tempted them to commit such a crime, they declared that "they had lost their senses to a certain degree in seeing their family dishonoured. 'They had not been moved by any fear of the justice of God, though they had dreaded the opinion of men. '1 he jury considering that nothing , hail been pr ove d aga i ns t th e y ounger p r i soner acquitted her, an d ' ' she was set at liberty after a very affecting address from the Court. The two other prisoners were found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment for ten years, with hard labour and exposure on the pillory.— Galignaries Messenger.
