HABITATIONS Or THE WORKING CLARRES IN LON-
DON.—Oue of the great evils which most of the cities of
Europe have to contend with, and which is especially
rife is mutate parts of our parish, is, that the homiest
in which tho poor live have not been °Destructed to
meet the wants, comfort, convenience, or health of
their families. The great majority of tke workini
classes of this parish do hot live to houses, but in part.
houses, which have been constructed only for single fami-
lies. Parts of houses which ought to be confined to the
members of a single family are common, and this enovenSOt
of houses intended for single families into the residence of
several is as fertile source of the breaking down of thoes
barriers of decency and propriety which are the great safe.
guards of honour and morality. This close association of
several families in one house is productive of immense evil ;
it prevents proper parental control ; it encourager an asso-
ciation of the sexes, which leads directly to one of our
greatest social evils, and is one of the most fruitful
cameo of the sproad and fatality of zyinotic diseases of
childhood, sod lays the foundation of the scrofula and con-
sumption which every year carry off a fifth of all who die
amongst W. It is foe these seasons that I would earnestly
urge upon the vestry, the clergy, and all who are intoresteti
in the welfare of the parish. the importance of ILsaisting is
carrying out the plans which are now in agit..tiou for im-
proving_the dwellinp of the poor.—Dr. Lankcster's Report
to the Vestry of St. James's, Westminster.
DOVER Samosa' lions.—On Tuesday last the
Dunkerke La Maitre (No. 166) was run into off the
Galloper, by the barque Horisone, of Hamburg. It is sap-
that all hoods perished except one tam, who wig
picked up by a Dover fishing smack, and brought to the
Bailors' Home. Though earnestly entreated to endeavour
to save the men, the master of the barque passed on his
way without rendering any maistanos. The survivor whoa
brought to the home was in • miserable condition. He
was there clothed, and every care taken of him, and will
be passed on to Calais this evening. by the mail packet.
