WORKING MEN'S CLUBS.

trim ous OWN

When Victoria-street, Westminster, was com-
menced some years ago, it let in the light of day
upon .a mass of wretchedness, vice, and disease,
lying till then unheeded beneath the very shadow
of the Abbey towers and the walls of parliament.
The filthy alums extending far and wide from that
stately focus were described in these columns long
before working men's clubs were thought of • and,
the same foul streets and questionable population
exist still, to the disgrace of our age and social
state. But attempts are now being made which
will at least mitigate the evil, and every day we
pow in knowledge of the enemy we have to combat.
In the heart of this dismal neighbourhood,
in the very midst of the ruinous old
houses, the shabby, ill-drained streets, the courts
littered with refuse, the narrow scowling thorough-
fares and no-thoroughfares, gloomy by day and bat
duskily lit at night—the Westminster Working
Mm's Club And Reading Room, created mainly by
the benevolence of Miss Adeline Cooper, shines forth
like a ray of promise. It is situated in Basi-
lan*, an obscure turning apposite Old Pyeaseres4l
sad has now been established nearly three years,'
having been opened an December, 1860. We are
-unable to speak of this club from actual observation
id its working ;ler when we visited the spot a few
evenings atm the'building was in the bands of
bricklayers and earpenters, undergoing almost entire
reconstruction, and the meetings of the members
are consequently suspended for the present.
The growth of the institution has been very
rapid and encouraging. It was enlarged
by building an upper floor a year after
**opening, and again it has been found too small.
The cost of the present works will be more than
600 i, Towards this amouut Miss Cooper has
reoeived from friends of the undertaking Wbf., of
which sum 1001. comes from the Marquis of West-
miturter. In addition to the new building an
adjoining house has been taken in, and the club,
when it re-opens in November, will contain a
library, a lavatory, a permanent class-room, a
lecture-room, and other chambers for the traumas*
tion of business, the acquirement of education, or
the pursuit of innocent asmosement: Judgiug by
such inspection as we could make by climbing up
unfinished staircases, performing perilous journeys
(after the manner of Anima, in La Somtambak)
scroseplanka spanning abysses, where a momentary
fit of vertigo would have been awkward, and picking
our way gingerly over the rafters of yet unboarded
floors, we should say that the hall, when completed,
will be excellently adapted to its purposes. The
subscription is extremely low, being only one half-
penny a week. There are no quarterly or annual
payments, and no special charge is made for the
classes. The only officer receiving pay is the resi-
dent, who is always on the premiere. The refresh-
ments (which consist simply of biscuits and coffee,
with the addition of ginger-beer in the summer)
are vended at cost price ; but for coffee alone, *old
at a halfpenny a cup, as much as 6e. 6cl. has been
taken in one night. Of course, with so low a sub-
scription, and with no profit from the sale of com-
modities, the club is not self-supporting ; but this
is not sought for. The desire of Miss Cooper is
to reach the very lowest of the low ; and. although,
as a rule, we are of opinion, as we have expressed
before, that these institutions should at
least pay their own expellees, lest the work-
man be degraded by the receipt of charity,
it must be admitted that the neighbourhood
of Duck-lane may offer an exception. The
lower stratum of the population *autism, to • very
great extent, of eosternsougen and street-people.
Its found that very humble men, who would
otherwise be denizens of the pablio-houses,
are attracted by furnishing them with an agreeable
place of meeting, at an expenditure on their part
which even the poorest can afford. The higher
class of mechanics generally, and very properly, feel
lowered by anything having the nature of • philan-
thropic charity ; the rough, uncared-for and
educated inhabitants of the Westminster hick slums
are simply sensible of a kindness, and 'grateful for
it The members of the Doak-lane Club count about
400, of whom the greater number are ouster-
Imagers, hawkers, and crossing-sweepers, though
there is a sprinkling of mechanics (skilled
and unskilled), and even of email tradesmen.
The average attendance is about 90 during the
summer, and 120 during the winter. The games are
draughts and chess : skittles are excluded, having
a tendency, amongst the somewhat rough eat using
the club, to develop noisy and quarrelsome conten-
tion. Lectures on interesting subjects are given
every Tuesday, and to these the wives of members
are admitted. A room is provided for smoking,
and ample provision is made for furnishing those
who like reading with varied and interesting
matter. Amongst the weekly periodicals, All the
Year Round and Chambers' Journal are much liked.
The library consists of more than two hundred
books, which are frequently salted for, especially
works on biography and chemistry. Poetry also is
much sought after, and Shakspesze and Burns are
read with delight by the frequenters of Duck-line.
Religious works do not appear to be in demand.
Reading, writing, and ciphering classes meet
on Friday, • Bible class on Thursday, and
a singing class on Saturday; the last-named coo-
ducted by Miss Cooper herself. The various
bodies connected with the main institution are—a
Penny Bank, a Friend of Labour Loan Society, a
Temperance Society, with a sick fund for members ;
• Barrow Club, and a Cricket Club. The Barrow
Club requires some explanation. A large number
of the members of the Duck-lane Institute, Ile we
have stated, are costbennongers ; and these men
commonly hire their barrows at a high rate of in-
terest, being too poor to buy them out-and-ora.
From the club, however, they may be obtained at
Is. a seek, and after this subscription has been
maintained for fifty weeks, the barrow becomes the
absolute property of the subscriber. The Barrow
Club, we are informed, has some 17 or 18 members.
The Temperance Sick Fund is another excellent
organisation. To this fund there are 90 coutribu- '
tors at one penny a week. After thirteen weeks'
membership the contributors receive, in case of
sickness, Be. a week for one month in every twelve.
Since the formation of the fund several hundred
persons (for the most pert belonging to the imme-
diate neighbourhood) have signed the pledge. The
Labour Loan Society is thus described by Miss
Cooper in the July number of the Ragged School
UlliAl Magazine :
A member of the society ass take up one or more shares
not exceeding four, at &I. • share ; at the end of 13 weeks
he is entitled to oss of 11. for every 6e. &I„pard, which
loan must be repaid by weakly instalments, still CeetiOain
to pay up his shares. Every quarter the accounts era
audited by two members elected for that purpose, end a
dividend is declared foonsistiog of entrance feet, fines, sod
interest on loam), whieb is added to back member's stook,
accumulating • Wale fund. 110 separate loans have bees
granted since October 30, 1861, representing • sum of SRL
although the capital amounts but to 82/., divided miaow
17 members. The rules are enrolled according to act of
parliament, and certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt, and tbrisociety
is managed entirely by the ors themselves. Them has see
been one defaulter, mid the last accounte stated that the
moiety was "in ced health and (anions spirits, thank
God"

The utmost that can be borrowed from the fund
is ltd. ; but this has enabled many men to make a
start in the world for themselves.

The temperance feeling is strong in the club,
though many of the members are not teetotallers.
When the council of the Working Men's Club and
Institute Union rescinded its resolution against
admitting into communion with itself any club
where intolicating drinks are sold, and substituted
a rule allowing the individual clubs to make their
own Is is the matter, 125 members of
the Duck- Institute petitioned against the
change ; and of these petitioners about 95 were men
who have not signed the pledge. When first the
building was opened, a "fete and easy "wars held

once a week, but it did not take. The members
probably found that they could not maintain the
songs and recitations with spirit unless under the
excitement of beer ; and so they abandoned the
amusement for chess and draughts, reading and
conversation. Possibly the serious and religions
elements brought to bear on them may have had
something to do with the result, though no coercion
is used in such matters, the management of the club
being in the hands of the members themselves.
Kies Cooper (who acts as treasurer) is only
to on very special occasions, or when
appealed
are contemplated. The hours at which
the club is open are—on week days from
six to bail-peat ten, 'or squirter to twelve on Satur-
days ;on Sundays to half-past tee. All newspapers
and games are prohibited on Sunday ; bibles and
religions works are laid on the tables, and a simple
unsectarian service is held in the evening for an
hour. A prayer meeting, of half an hour's duration,
takes place at midday every Wednesday, and is
attended by several members ; but it is entirely at
each man's option to stay away from theme religious
exerciseeif he likes.

It will be seen from the preceding sketch that the
Duok-lace Institute is not merely a club, but a kind
of reformatory also. The secretary (a street sales-
MILD' we believe, but a man of exoellent intelligent*
and of good command of words) told us that they
received anyone who presented himself with his
halfpenny. He might be a drunkard—he might
even be • thief ; but no inquiries are made as to
his habits or his antecedents. If his life
is bad, it is hoped that the better example of the
club will mend it ; and it is known that many
drunkards heave been reformed !anal joining the
body. The greatest order has always been main-
tained ; there has not been one defaulter, nor has •
single book, paper, or even pen, been taken away.
The influence of such an institution among the
reckless and depraved is unquestionably admirable.
It develops habits of self-respect, reverence, and
moral purity amongst those who have been ittle
accustomed to regard life as anything else than •
feverish alternation between dire distress and brutal
indulgence. But (allowing for individual excep-
tions) it is not, we should say, a place to which the
better *lass of working men would repair. The
chances of indiscriminate association are very likely
to deter the honest artisan end labourer ; the ad-
mixture of the charitable element would offend his
pride ; and the presence of • certain religious
severity in the government of the institution might
seem to him a little too hie dictation in the manner
of his daily life. Still, fora more simple and child-
order of men, the Duck-lane Club is fraught
with incalculable benefits ; and we wish it all
SUCCUBI. . .

The Colonnade Club, near Clare-market, though
situated in a neighbourhood similar to the low parts
of Westminster bouts of a very select body of
members. The terms here are 2d. a week, or Is. ed.
a quarter. The club has been started for about
three years, and we regret to find that the number
of persons attending has fallen off from 80 or 90 to
40, or thereabouts. Nevertheless, the institution
is said to be nearly self-supporting, and, after the
opening of an eating-room, which is in contem-
p atioti, the conductors hope, that it will be
entirely so. The eating-room will be a great
boon to working men, as it will enable
them to get their dinner without resorting to
a tavern ; and in that use we presume it is in-
tended to permit the sale of beer. At present,
nothing but tea and coffee are to be obtained on the
premises. The members here are chiefly artisans,
men working in shops and factories, and labourers
in Covent-garden market. The management of the
club is popular, though assisted by the councils of
the Rev. Mr. Robins, who has given the house.
Au air of great comfort and snugness characterises
all the rooms, and the well-dressed, quiet-looking
members show that we are here among the very
aristocsacy of the working class. 'mined, this
appearance of gentility in the building and its
frequenters is said to deter men of a humbler clam
and rougher appearance from joining. The library
contains between four and five hundred books, and
these are lent out whenever it is desired. A
discussion class is to be opened shortly ; but
for the present there are no classes at all. This
is only, an evening club, being available simply
from six till half-past ten ; but, when the eating-
room is added, the house will be open during the
day. Prom what we could observe and learn on
the occasion of our recent visit, we are inclined to
regard the Colonnade Institute as coming very near
to what we conceive a club for the better class of
mechanics should be. •
. . . . .

Two or three more clubs exist in various parts of
London and the suburbs, but we have given the
reader a general idea of the character and manage-
ment of these institutions. One at Holloway has
barely been open a month, but its success already
surpasses the expectations of its inced sanguine
promoters. The subscription is only ld. weekly,
or ls. a quarter. Some of the members breakfast
on the premises, and one very excellent feature is
the formation of a coal club for the purchase of
coals at a reduced rate. The vicinity of Holloway
to the Great Northern Railway ought to render
this part of the plan veey easy. of accomplishment
and, considering the uneouscionable way in which
the poor are fleeced by the keepers of small coal
sheds, we should be glad to find other working
men's institutes following the example of the
northern suburb. . .

Movements have been inaugurated for the esta-
blishment of two club. in Southwark. At the
recent meeting held in the Albert Inatitutiou,
Gravel-lane, under the presidentship of Mr. U. A.
Sala, it was suggestee. by the Rev. Mr. Brown,
rector of Christchurch, Southwark, that if no better
place could be got, they might turn some of the
railway arches au the vicinity to use. This would
show an earnest determination indeed ; but we
trust that the working men of the Borough will be
able to find better accommodation, and will soon
equal the prosperity of some of their older brethren.
Other clubs are in course of formation at Homerton,
Bethnal Green, Pentonville, Bromley-by-Bow,
Walworth, Camberwell, Lambeth, Islington, Pan-
cras, Golden-square, Bisbopsgate, Whitechapel,
Thickhead (Bermondsey), Kensington, Brentford,
Poplar, and Canning Town.

WORKING NKR'S CLUBS IN TIM PROVING'S/I.—A
publics meeting of working men, presided over by the
Mayor was held io the Town-hall, Noah Shields, on Thum-

the existisom of other institutions, for • working men's club

far EPISCOPAL APPOIN MEETS OP LORD
PALMERSTON.

(From the Western Morning Nees.)
At a time when the appointment of one of the
highest spiritual dams of the church is under consideration,
It may be interesting to glance at the nominations to the
episcopal bench which have been made during Lend Panora
stos's Premiership, representing as they do • larger amount:
of acclealadical patronage than Nu fallen into the hands of
any minister is modern days. The present Prime Minister
WOO into power in Fernery, 1855, upon the overthrow of
Lord Aberdeen's goversmeet, consequent on the ad-
verse vote of the Howe of Commons on the conduct
of the &rim war, and had office until defeated in
February, 1868, on the Conspiracy liilL After remaining
to opposition for sixteen moths, Lord Palmerston again
✓immed the Premiership in June, 1859, so that the noble
Viscount's reign as First Lord of the Treasury has show
titer extended over a period of seven years sad tour months.
During the year 185.5 not a single vacancy occurred amongst
the right reverend occupants of the episcopal bench, but in
the following year Lord Panorama was called upon to
make DO Ifni than five appointenenta—nsinely, to the
bishoprics of Carlisle, Durham, Glottoriser sad Beleted,
London, sad Ripe. The renal value of those sees re-
spectively is as follows :—Loudon, 10,0004 ; Durham,
8,00131. ; Glonmeter and Bristol, 5,0001. ; Carlisle, 4,5006 ;
and Ripon, 4,500/., showing a total annual value of
skooor. To the see of Ripon Dr. Bickersteth
was appointed—Dr. Lcagley, who had previously hesldael
being tranalated to Dr. Villiers was installed
at Culled% Dr. Baring at Gloucester and Bristol, whilst the
=tea see, roar through the resignation of Bishop
was conferred on Dr. Tait, lira of Carlisle. In
MilWthilso was bat one vagary, and that was in the see of
Henri* value 4,5001. To this bishopric Dr. Pelham was
appointed. Passing over the interregnum in Lord Palmer-
doe's power which took piece during the years 1858 and
18119, we oome to 1860, a year in which many rich prose
trif eordriastical patronage fell to the disposal of the
lewd of Broadlaods. In the month of May died Dr.
11from Archbishop of York, the revemues of the
see 10,0001. per annum. Dr. I,oeglin was now
from Durham to York, Dr. VMWs was tram.
lard from Carlisle to Durham, and Dr. Wahlegrave was
pissed in the vacant see of Carlisle. The same year also
V=vacancies in the bishopric. of Rochester and
r, each of the value of 5,000/. per sane= To
the former was appointed Dr. Wigrem, and to the Later
Dr. Philpot. Dr. Vilhers did not long survive his trends-
Mo. from Cullen to Durham. He died Ia 1861, and was
succeeded by Dr. Baring. The trended*" of the
hitter prelate rendered vacant the see of Gloomier
sad Bridal, which was given to Dr. Thomson.
Bat it was not until the autumn of 1862 thee the Ached
= .o. f
ac..turch preferment fell to the deposalof Lord
. In the mouth of August in that year the
venerable Primate of Ireland, the Right Rev. Lord John
Beresford, who bad bean in failing health for many
months, was gathered to his fathers at the age d
ninety years. The veins of the primacy was about 1,14.0.
• year, and to it succeeded • near relative of the deoeesed,
the Right Rev. Lord Marcus Gervais Berestord, aforetinse
Bishop of Edmore, hlphin, and Armagh. The marry
created by this translation was 111101 by Dr. Veensboyis,
Dean of Faroe But the richest of all the prises of
sand patronage was shortly to fall into the hands d the
lucky Premier. The aged Archbishop of Clanterhury was
gradually sinking from exhaustioa consequent on natend
decay, and swiftly followed the Primate of all Irelaad to
the pave. On the 6th of September, by thedeath of Dr.
Sumner, the Primacy of ell Reeked, with an insome of
15,0001.. fell to the disposal of Lord Palmerston. As I. the
ere of York, the Premier, io filling this srchispierreel see,
contrived to make three appointments out of one vesaticy.
Dr. Loogley was translated for the third time within sit
years, and sent from York to Canterbury. Dr. Monroe was
promoted from Gloooester and Bristol to the Archbishopric.
d York, whilst Dr. Ellicott. Der of Exeter, wasappointad
Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol. And now, with the au-
tumn if 186.3, the fourth archbishopric has fallen in. The
death of Dr. Whately gives the Premier • piece of patron-
age vane 7.6361. per annum. Lord Palmerston has two*
filled the Bishopric of Cork, Dr. Fitzgerald, who was ap-
pointed in 1867. having been translated from this see to that
of Elisio@ in 1861. He has likewise supplied vecancies in
many Irish deaneries, and is England those of Caoterbury,
Westminster, Carlisle, Ripon, Lincoln, Gloucester, and
Bristol. sad Exetertvice,
The hatted animal value of the sees held by the 27 pre.
We who constitute the English hierarchy is 151,2001., and
of this Lord Palmerton has had the disposal of very nearly
ooshalf—or 75,5001. Vast r this amount of pairsiosie
might appear, it shows more strikingly by contrastwith
that which has fallen to the lot of previous Prime Ministers.
Sir Robert Peel held °Mee from 1841 to 1846, and is these
five years filled as many biehoprice—thees of Chiebester,
Ely, Lichfield, Oxford, and St. Asaph, with an annual
value of Z 3,406/. During the six years of Lord John
Eursall's Administration from 1846 to 1852, the amount of
patronage which fell to his disposal was jai* se much as
that which in one year aloos-1856—fell to Lord Pal-
merston. Lord John filled the pantry, and the bishop-
rics of Chester, Hereford, Llandaff, and Manchester,
with an aggregate revenue of .12,1001. per annum. During
Lord Aberdeen's ministry. from 1852 to 1855, the bishoprics
of Bath and Wells, Lissom, and Salisbury were filled, with
an renal income of 5.0001. each. The Earl et Derby has
hold's dike altogether about two years mid two months—
tamely, ten months in 1852, and sixteen months in 1818-59.
The only episcopal appointment made by the oprervative
leader was that of Dr. Campbell to the Bishopric of Bangor
in 1859, the revenues of the see being 4,0001. a year. From
these calculation' it will be seen that the amount
of patronage disposed of by Sir Robert Peel, Lord John
Russell, the Earl Of Aberdeen. and the Earl of Derby
amounted te 75,4001. So that Lord Palmerston, in seven
years, has, within the small sum of 3.0(811., disposed of as
much church patronage as his ptedeosseon in the Premier-
ship during a period of 16 year.. Bat when we take into
consideration the odds Viscount's Irish patronage, repro-
Bestir a total of 28,1201. per annum, and add this to the
71,5001., the value of hi* English church preferments, we
have • greed toted of MOM., or a yearly sum amouctiog
very early to 100,0001.
Such is the annual value of the appointments which have
been made by the present Prime Minister. Of the 27
prelates who sit is the Home of Lords, so lees than tea
NMI been placed there by Lord Palmerston. Add to these
fir Irish seas end the uuu.ber of the present
Premises bishops is increased to 15. Twice has he
filled the Archbishopric of York, once the Arch-
bishoprics of Canterbury and A !neigh ; whilst that
of Dublin yet remain to be Oiled. Three times has
the noble Seal- been riled upon to appoint new oversews
to the dioceses of Gloucester and Bristol, end Durham
twice his he filled the vacant Bishoprics at Carlisle ad
Cork, and ore throe of London, Rochester, Norwich, Wor-
cester, mad Ripon. Of the 27 prelates ea the episcopal
benches, ten owe their positions to Lord Palmerston ; five to
Sir Robert Peel ; four to Lord Russell ; three to the Earl
of Aberdeen • .two, the Bishops of Peterboroogh sod St.
David's, to Lord Melbourne ; one, the Bishop of Wischester,
to Lord Liverpool ; one, the Bishop of Exeter, to the Duke
! of Wellington ; and one, the Bishop of Bangor, to the Earl
of Derby. The roar prelate is the Bishop of Winchester,
appointed in 1827 ; the junior is the Bishop of Gloucester
and Bristol, consecrated so 1863. The richest bishopric is
that of Winchester, value 10,4171. ; the least in point of
revenue is that of St. David's, 2,5001. The oldest prelate is
the Bishop of Exeter, now in his with year ; the youngest
is the Archbishop of York, now in his 44th.

NATIONAL POLISH LEAGUE—Lint evening a
numerously attended meeting of the members of this league
was held et the Whittington Club, Mr. E. Beaks in the
chair, to receive Prince Ladieleus Czartory ski, the soxredited
agent in London and Paris from the tuitional government of
Poland. The prince, on euteriug the ball, was loudly
