TOXTETII BOARD OF . GUARDIANS This morning, :sPeci:l;ne;ting of this board was held at the i3oard Room of the Public Offices, Park-road. The following guardians were present :—Messrs. John Moss, Johnson, Siddeley, J. Harrison, John Wilson, Joseph Wilson, W. Baynes, W. H. Ogden, H. Layland, Johns, Hughes, and Grindrod. Mr. John Wilson said, it is now two minutes past ten o'clock, and I move that Mr. John Moss take the chair. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. Mr. Harrison : It is not two minutes past ten o'clock, and it is the custom to respect our chairman so much as to wait a little for htm. Mr. Wilson : It is not by custom that we are ruled. Mr. J. B. Hughes moved, that Mr. Ogden should take the chair which was seconded by Mr. Harrison. Neither of the parties were' inclined to act, and after waiting for some time— Mr. `Nilson rose, and with hat in hand said : I shall go —I shall lose my time to no purpose. Several members said it would be better to elect a chair man and proceed to business, when Mr. Wilson put his motion again. The motion- and the amendment were put to the vote, and Mr. Moss was elected chairman. Mr. Moss : If you honour me by placing me in the chair, I shall take care that neither one side nor another shall have any undue advantage. The Clerk then read a requisition, signed by John Wilson and Henry Layland, calling the meeting, the object of which was to take into consideration the propriety of rescinding the resolution passed by the board yesterday. Mr. John Wilson said, as time was on the wing he would at once tell them why he and others had thought well to call that meeting. 'Die proceedings of yesterday were not at all to the point ; and as to an enquiry by com mittee they were all very well aware that they could not get at the information required, because any witness they might summons could come or let it alone as they pleased. He and others had no desire to shrink from appearing before any tribunal in that or any other part of the country. They had been charged with misdemeanour, with felony, and with disgraceful conduct ; but he thought up to the present time he had conducted himself in such a way, that he was bound to say such re marks were entirely uncalled for. A dispute had arisen as to who should be the custodian of the voting papers, and from that the present question arose. He would move that the resolution passed yesterday, be rescinded. The Clerk said, such a motion would require a week's notice. He then read from article 39, of the Poor Law Board's Instruction, a clause which stated that no resolu tion to rescind another resolution that had been passed by the board could be brought forward, without seven days' notice of such resolution, except in a case of emergency. . Mr. John Wilson said that was a case of emergency, as it affec ed the character of the members of the board. Did anyone think that he did not consider it an emergency when he was charged, with others, with the offences that had been mentioned yesterday. It was for the purpose of rescinding the resolution that he had called that extraor dinary meeting. It was a case of emergency ; and if any one thought so little of character, he did not. The Chairman asked the Clerk if he considered it a case of emergency. The neri : The Chairman should judge. The Chairman : You are our law-clerk. The Clerk : It is not such a question but you are as well able to judge of as myself. The Chairman said it was a case of emergency. They all knew it was not a case of felony, as had been stated by their chairman on the previous day ; but he thought the sooner it was brought before the public the better. Mr. Wilson said it was not over with Mr. Urquhart yet He could not afford to let him slip The C' said he did not think that it was a case of the clerk refused his opinion when asked for it, and then he volunteered it. The Clerk said, the motion was irregular and could not, effect the proceedings of the committee that evening. The Chairman said. The Chairman : r asked you what was your opinion, and you said it was for me to judge of the emergency of the case. The Clerk said, he would still say so, but what they would do to-day could not interrupt the proceedings of the commi r rescinded the resolution of fy the committee and their yesterdai proceedings. Mr. Cleaver said, the committee were summoned. Mr. llarrison was about to make some remark, when The Chairman asked, if any person had seconded Mr Wilson's motion Mr. Baynes sai The Chairman it a ca would second the motion. greed with the motion, as he considered kergency, and read over the article of instructions on the subject. Mr. Harrison said, as that was the first time he had an opportunity of meeting Mr. Wilson in public since yesterday, _he would take the oppor tunity of setting v .

He did not intend 13P, a n'e - icadlifeiiaed to show that if these I against any party, he or they would prove( be iuilty of - a misdemeanor, not intended for Mr. Wilson personally. He wished to say that to them and to the public.. He had not the least, wish to damage Mr. Wilson ; and with regard to the matter which called forth the remarks, he bad not one word to say, but would leave it to the public judgment. The Chairma'n : You did not apply the word " misde meanor " to any person tampering with the voting papers ? Mr. Harrison said, that was what he meant ; but before he would sit down he would protest against any proceedings on any occasion being taken in the matter. The Chairman asked if it could be moved that what was now proposed should be sent to the Poor-law Board ? The Clerk replied that it would be a rescinding of the resolution of yesterday. The Chairman : You should have told them they could not meet when they asked this meeting 3 The ( quite lel The them tliai, for the meeting ian : And what do you mean by th The m fled not to ieseind the re- aolutiou, but to co Mr. H Poor-law I information be best Mr. I The ( horionra hemselv Mr. 0 he locks and Co SA.III , ID' and Co invalna haract 1 men of ( were to board would der the propriety of r resolution You may consider the props the resolution, but it would be illegal to frame another re- y of rescinding of e'ner- I yesterday The Chairman mentioned that that was a geney. enter in ration of the propr Mr. Wilson : It is a complete 1( for nothing.

ADDRESSED TO THE WORKING CLASSES THEMSELVES PART FOURTH CHAPTER SECOND THE ELIZABETHAN ERA.—PRINCIPLE AND POLICY OF THE POOR-LAWS CONSIDERED. There is hardly any question of national interest upon which there has been so much discussion, as the poor laws ; and wherein the divided opinions of individuals have so much wavered as on their policy. Having endeavoured in the previous chapter to show the claims upon which the poor have a right to be maintained by society, I shall now proceed briefly to state these reasons, which appear to me perfectly unanswerable, to establish the utility of a compulsory poor-rate, as a branch of the civil' insti tutions of a well-ordered community. (1) The first condition of any remedy for social destitution, is, that it should be available and adopted to the removal of the evil. It is true that better habits in the people might perhaps form a substitute for the poor-rate ; but then there are other causes existing, such as defective education, and irregularity of employment, by means of which those habits do not exist, and wherein such substitute consequently becomes wholly inap plicable. It is for existing evils that we must apply remedies that are now applicable, not those applic able only to a state of society differently constituted from the present. Were it possible that prudential habits could be universally established, we might trust to them for averting the evils of indigence ; but then, until this is accomplished, we might as well expect the filth and mire which accumulate in our streets and highways to be removed without the aid of the scavenger. Society as it is at present constituted, must necessarily generate a mass of destitution. This arises from various causes, such as from changes of the seasons, from disease, old age, orphanage, infirmities of nature, vice and improvidence. Part of this destitution may be foreseen, and provided against ; part of it results from calamities which no forethought could avert. The question, however, is not as to its origin, but as to the best mode of dealing with it. So long as society exists in its present form, or any other of which the world has had experience, the poor form an inseparable adjunct to it, and how they can best be dealt with is the question for consideration. Where there is no public provision for the relief of indigence, it would be inconsistent with humanity to deny to the wretched the liberty of craving alms from their more fortunate fellow-creatures. The conservation of society, as I have previously ex plained, demands that neither ignorance of the laws, nor the pressure of want, shall justify their viola tion ; and no man, however urgent his necessities, can, with impunity, seize the property of another ; but surely it would be a great stretch of this principle, unwarranted by the same social interests, to interdict to distress what charity may be disposed voluntarily to bestow ! One is a crime of the deepest dye ; the other, in its own nature, scarcely appears a crime at all, and can only be so construed from the necessity of its exercise having been superseded by ~ Unless distress be allowed openly neither its intensity nor its extent can be known; measures of alleviation will not be adopted—its origin investigated ; nor can these salutary reflections be excited in the beholder, tending to warn him from errors by which the calamities of others have been produced. In England, however, all these reasons for the open toleration of MENDICITY have been superseded. The institution of poor-laws dispenses with all pretext for begging for subsistance. Every English man has his parish, and every parish is bound to find work or food for those unable to get employ ment ; to bring up to useful trades the children of the destitute ; and to provide for the lame, impotent, blind, and others, being poor and unable to provide for themselves. Under these humane provisions, the rich and poor are bound up in a common fate, and reciprocal ties of obligation ; neither prosperity nor adversity can visit one without operating a corresponding influence on the other ; the rich have an interest paramount to the poor themselves, in every circumstance in fluencing their condition ; and with their numbers, employments, education, improvidence, and vices, they are necessitated to feel a concern, and apply to their consideration, whatever superior knowledge or forethought they possess, in order to the paramount security of their own enjoyment. It is clear that either mendicity, open and tolerated, or poor-rates is the only alternative. In a manu facturing community like England, where the demand for labour is subject to great and increasing fluctuations, the consequence of the former, in the absence of poor-laws would be frightful to contem , To the cases of real distress in our streets, would be superadded an immense mass of imposture, civil institution detection and exposure, would increase to extraordinary extent. But under the poor-lam au Englishman does not need the public exhibition of distress, to be apprised of its existence ; he knows it from the amount of his poor assessment, and thus, without the spectacle of want and wretchedness in the public thoroughfares, he is possessed, as has been remarked, "of an in fallible barometer" for ascertaining the condition of his less fortunate fellow-creatures. In the absence of public provision for the poor, it cannot be supposed no efforts would be made for BRIGHT I AND " THE " BUTTERMAN ! Villikins and his Dinah.") THE NORTHIRN TIMES, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1859. house, charitable bequests from the dying would be solicited. . All this would be done without co-operation, without uniformity of principle, without responsibility ; and the consequences would be, an inconceivable amount of fraud and mismanagement ; the waste, labour, and expense would be greater than under the existing system of assessment ; and what would be worse, as the exer tions and sacrifices were voluntary, the burden would fall exclusively on the benevolent, while the reckless and hard-hearted would be exempt from all contri bution, either in purse or person. It is an error which I have before referred to, to suppose either that the poor laws encourage an improvidence which would not prevail in the absence of such an institution, or that the absence of them would call into exercise an increase of prudence not before in operation. The class to whom the poor laws are available, and for whom, in truth, they are intended, are never influenced by prospective consi derations, they neither look backwards nor forwards; they form no useful resolves for the future from expe rience of the past, for they are equally regardless of both. It is among the working classes as it is indeed among every other class of the community, a certain portion of them are wholly reckless of con sequences ; either from defect of education, or defect of nature, they have no habits of calculation or forethought ; they live every day as if it were their last, and never think what to-morrow may bring forth. This description does not apply to the whole of the working, any more than to the whole of the middle or upper classes of society. (2) Perhaps of the entire class of operatives and labourers, not more than one-fourth ever burden the parish at all ; the remainder, by superior economy, management, and saving, make a provision for all the casualties to which they are exposed from sickness, age, or want of employment. It is not for these , the poor-laws were designed, but for the smaller portion who are unfortunately not endowed with similar habits, and whose existence in society is wholly uninfluenced by the poor-laws, but for whom I think it is better a compulsory provision should be made, than they should be left to resort to those extremities which without it would be their only resource.

"It is very strange," says a writer, "but the affluent often live under more constant apprehension of want than the needy. The apprehension of loss of rank in society, for instance, is more trouble to the wealthy, than the appre hension of famine to the indigent. Rich men often destroy. themselves rather than part with their carriages and cham pagne ; but the poor lose their mutton, their beer, and even their bed from under them, and live on. Want dulls the faculties ; habit accustoms to privations. The evils of foverty do not appal those who have endured these evils rom infancy. It is the pressure of actual, not the dread of prospective evil, that absorbs the attention of the poor, and forms the incentive to industry." HAVANA, Oh !

One of the most striking characteristics of the. ar we live in is the growing business habits developing among all classes of the people. Every one who has any pr, tensions to improvement—wishes to rise in society, or even to fulfil with eclat the common engagements as private individuals, must themselv - e demand in a commc watches As one means of s 'o. have instituted their h persons may obtain fi] ttisfying this demand, THOS.

The person winning the first night gets a mdsman, has his watch, and of course his name not put in again, ft goes on paying 2s each week during the fifty weeks. The :cond week all the other names are put in, and some one else gets ie, and so it goes on until all axe supplied. It will be seen, by. Lis method, that the person who may be so unlucky as to be the st, only pays for it before he has it, the same as he would have life had he not joined. Members may pay as much more as they lee. or nay tin at any time. . ks or Jewellery can be had in the same manner, and articles -her value by paying the difference.

JOHN'S MARKET.
