and can be stretched according to circumstances.'
Sometimes the applicant is induced, to pay a small
sum in addition to the "application" and "regis-
" tration " fees, for which tho officc keeper binds
himself, if the applicant should not be suited
within a week, to insert one special advertisement
in a particular newspaper. He keeps bis word by
drawing out the advertisement in such a way that
it applies to a dozen applicants who have bought
the same announcement. The replies being ad-
dressed to " X. Y. Z.," are read in tin.' by each
of the deluded applicants.
There are other modes of preying on the weak,
the needy, and the unfortunate, but none which
look so fair and tempting as this Agency swindle.
Some few of the offices may be conducted on a
system which is almost honest, but they only help
to sustain their fraudulent imitators. Women
seeking employment had better be over-cautious
than over-confiding, and we therefore warn them
off from these false and heartless agents.

LATEST INTELLIGENC&

ROILS.

ALLEGED CHANGE IN FRENCH POLICY.
The Temps of to-day contains a long and inter-
esting letter from Rome, dated the 29th, iu which
we read :

I have always thought that the French government was
at the bottom resigned to the unity of Italy, with Koine for
the capital. M. de Grammont, M. de Lavalette, M. Billault,
and many other personages, have confirmed se in this
opinion, but to-day I am bound to declare that I
have received accounts which have rudely shaken
it. The mission of Count Lallemand (the new
French envoy) certainly seems to indicate a sudden
change. The language which this envoy bolds is
altogether different from that by M. de Grammont
towards the close of his embassy, and more recently
by M. de Lavalette. The present charge d'Affaires
says positively to the Vatican, " Yon are guaranteed,
you have nothing to fear, and if you m►ke the reforms which
you are asked for, who knows where the friendly feelings
of my governmect will stop r The tone of the French
diplomacy is so completely modified, that the Vatican appears
to abandon Beef unreservedly to confidence. The proof
is, that it is seriously considering these famous reforms
of which it would hear nothing in the limas of the ambas-
sadors. The measure is demanded by several cardinals ; it
is even urged by several French prelates, amongst whom
I can quote in a positive manner the Bishop of Orleans.

LANCASHIRE DISTRESS.

MEETING AT CHRIST
DYCHURCH, SUB.RILY.-(THIN
- • •

This morning, at 11 o'clock, a public meeting of
the inhabitants of this pariah was held in the Vestry Room,
John-street, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of organising
measures for collecting contributions throughout the parish
in aid of the distressed Lancashire operatives. The meeting
was presided over by the Rev. Josern Suomi, the rector of
the parish.
The BRADMAN briefly introduced the subject and trusted
that their pariah would not be behind its neighbours in
affordiog what aid they could to those men and women who
I had so nobly borne their misfortunes, and displayed such
fortitude and patience under the distress and suffering to
I which they bad been subjected. He also read a letter
from Mews. Shand and Mason, the fire engine
manufacturers, stating that the hands had re-
, solved on working two hours additional each week
for the next five weeks, which would give a sum of 221. in
aid of the fund, and that the firm had resolved on adding
a like sum, which would raise the subscription to 441.
Mr. APSLILY Plitterr then moved • resolution espies-
. sive of sympathy with the suffering operatives, deploring
the distress to which they had been subjected, and pledging
the meeting to support them by every means in their
, power.
Dr. SHACK having seconded the motion, it was adopted.
On the motion of Mr. BLAKE, seconded by Mr. Tußraß,
a committee wax appointed to carry out the object of it,
when the proceedings terminated.
