ST. PANCRAS PRRVRNTIVE AND REFORMA-

TORT INSTITUTION.

The puoruors and patrons of this institution, who
only sesemeneed their valuable labours is December, 1852,
have already found sash favour in the eyes of the public es
now to be able to lay the foundation of a permanent build-
ing, to accommodate the objects of their solicitude. This
building, which is intended to accommodate one hundemil
inmates. is situated in the New road, a few yards from
Gower street, and will afford • home, instruction, sad
support to the poor outcasts for whose benefit the institution
is especially intended. The ceremony of laying the ant
stone was performed yesterday by Lord R they Grosvenor, I
satiated by the Rev. Canon Dale, Vicar of St. Pancras, who I
opened the proceedings with an spproprlate and impressive
prayer. Lord Robert Grosvenor read letters of apology from'
the Archbishop of Canterbury and Sir B. Hall, both mainly'
approving of the objects of the institution, and regretting
that important engagements prevented their personal
attendance at the opening ceremonial. The stone was then
laid in due form, after which the reverend Canon Dale pro-
ceeded to address a few observations to the company assem-
bled. Hs pointed out that the character of the institution was
twofold, ive and reformatory, and its ministration
I urea, he was sorry to say, es necessary in the one case as in
tie other, for often had the hones been opened to sons and
daughters who had the .aample of vise and wickedness
afforded by their wretched parents Such objects were, he
urged, entitled to the support of the charitable, who by a
'subscription of one shilling a week could at any time recom
mend an inmate to the institution. Hoenig enlarged at some
length on the advantages of the reformatory school, the
reverend speaker concluded by again warmly exhorting the
charitable to assist in maturing the institution to a full state
of efficiency, complimenting the honorary governor, Mr.
Bowy. r, on him exertions, and moving a vote of thanks to
Lord It Grosvenor for his attendance on that occasion.
Lord R. Onoevnion, in returning thanks, is:premed the
peculiar satisfaction be felt in inaugurating an institution
like that which they were then establishing. At the present
moment, when • great portion of the surplus wealth of this
country was expended In sap *Ping a formida ile war, it
woe gratifying to know that the people found time to pro-
mote other and more pease's' objects. Among those none
were more important than Reformatory Institutions for
Young Crinsinas, for in saving that class they were pro-
moting the security of the commonwealth. The question
had arises whether this object °seta not to be tarried out
by the legislature of the country. (A Voice—i. Certainly.")
His opinion entirely coincided witb the gentleman who
nad just spoken, but legislative measures would take
some time to mature, and in the meantime what was to
become of the criminal population? He had been the means
of carrying a bill through parliament, which would give to
the county of Middlesex a reformatory institution, sup-
portable by rates ; and be was happy to know that wlhis
a year, young criminals in the county would be bent, sot M
the gaol, but to that institution. (Herr.) In the meantime,
however, private benevolence could do much, especially in
the way of prevention ; and, moreover, they should
recollect that in this country all great move-
ments, whether of politics or benevolence, bad
commenced with privets exertion. Reformatory institu-
tion* had been establishid with great success in the midland
caustics, and the promoters already oongratulated them-
selves en the fact that they had saved from future crime 75
per cent. of the whole criminal population. Their own
small institution I resented similar gratifying results, se,
out of 51 inmates that had been admitted sloes its esta-
blishment, only one bad been dismissed for misenndiset,
while seven had lett, being unable to endure the discipline.
All the rest had been completely reformed and
restored to society. (Hear, heapr.) The noble lord
then spoke in encouraging terms of the work of
the boys, of which he had bought tome specimens, and
concluded by proposing the thank* of the meeting to Mr.
Bowyer, the honorary governor of the institution.
This motion, having been seconded by the Rev. Mr.
Hatch, wen ackanwledged in suitable terms by Mr. Bowyer,
who informed the company that the building would cost
8501., of which only about one-halt was up to the present
time in hand. An noususlly strong force of police was io
attendance under the command of Acting Superintendent
Checkley, the authorities at Bcotlandiard having received
an intimation that Lord R. Grosvenor was likely to receive
some mimeses from the more ardent opponents of his
Sunday Trading Bill. Nothing of the kind, however,
occurred, and his lordship's reception by the people was of
the most cordial description.

METROPOLITAN
INDUSTRIAL REFORMA.

A Dumber of the friends sod supporters of this
benevolent institution met heat evening, at the place where
it is situate, Grove House, Brixtim-hill, upon a very in-
t- resting occas on. The object of the institution is to afford
protection, guidance, and instruction to a
certain number
of boys and young persons, who may have given satisfactory
tokens of their rioters disposition to abandon vicious and
criminal practices, and to 'veil themselves of the opportu-
nities here afforded them to retrieve tt • errors of their early
life, and repair the deficiencies of their neglected educe
tion. At the present time not fewer than nine
of these youths, who have almost attained the
age of manhood, are prepared to go forth into the world,
fortified by the Christian instructions for which they are
indebted to the Brixton Reformatory ; and as hey are on
the eve of departure to one of the distant colonies, it Wie
thought proper to inv to the patrons of the institution, upon
this omission, to bid them farewell, and to dismiss them to
the new world with a few words of parting encouragement
and religious counsel. Several clergymen and others, who
have been accustomed to take an interest in the
operations of the Reformatory, were present last
evening, and Mr. Edward Carderey presiged over
the meeting. After a brief address, explanatory
of the aims of the institution, ar.d of the manner in
which it is conducted, the proceedings of the evening were
mostly of a devotional character. Very satisfactory testi
moray was borne to the g I success of the benevolent
design, and the good conduct of those who hail teen
admitted to share its advantage?, ; but it would be inconve-
nient, for obvious reasons, to 1)0461 any particulars of the
history of individual inmates. The progress which has been
made, with the comparatively limited means at the disposal
of the institution, most have aff,rded matter for congratu-
lation to those connected with it, and has amply entitled it
to a continuance of tha public support.

THE BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—A
special g 1 meeting of the friends and supporters of this
repellent instituti in, founded it. 1847, for granting pensions
and giving relief to aged and dectyed members of the butld-
ieg profeesios and their widows, was held last evening, at the
offices of the charity, 19, Southampton-areal, Bloomsbury;
Mr. Thomas Drumm presided. The Chairman, an opening
the proceedings, stated that the meeting hod been elided fur
the purpose of receiving the directors' report upon the
eligibility of the candidates at the forthcoming elecoinn, and
to make the necessary arrangements for the annual dinner,
which is filed to take ;dace at the LondonTaeern ...Tuesday
the 30th inst., when the new pr, sides?, Mr. Churl. s Lucas,
will preside. lie wee gratified in being a• le to announce
that they bed already obtained 90 steworda, but still he
trusted that their Mende would nut Mat in their en-
deavours to forward the interests of this charity. Mr.
Joseph Bird then moved that two pentone, one male end
one female, he elected to the benefits of the institution on
the 30th of November nest. He wee sorry that the state of
the lands would not alljw of a larger number bring elected,
there being nine men and three loomsn candidates, and he
bowel that the mention of the fact that so mine poor per-
Mss were seeking their aid to relieve them from die-rear,
would stimulate them to renewed aversions en behalf of the
funds of the institution. Mr. John Thorn seconded the
motion, and said he was sorry that more could not be
elected. Mr. Joshua Higgs hoped that the builders gene-
rally, and those interested in the success of the institution,
would, st the dinner to tak,• place on 'I need), the 30th
inst., come forward liberally, and *sable the directors to
announce that the state of the tondo would enable a larger
number of candidates to be elected. The moi ,n, having
been put, was carried, and after a vote of th •nka to the
