lloints vox DINTS/M/4ED Famn.tus.—A few days
ago • meeting was held at Barnstaple, in the comb of Devon.
over which girl Fortescue presided, the object of which was
to form an association to provide food, shelter, and employ-
ment for the distressed operatives. It was resolved, " That
in the opinion of this meeting, the best mode of assisting
those who have • strops claim on our sympathy will be to
offer, for at least four months, to as massy as possible, food
and shelter, such as our own people have, and the moat suit-
able employment we can find for them, with reference to
their previous mode of life, strictly pledging ourselves,
however, that the reception and employment of
these strangers shall be undertaken as a work of
charity, and without the slightest detriment to
our own industrious populatios, who have the
first claims upon us." At a subsequent :metals it was
resolved: " 1. That as the decensiel iecrease of 20percent,
is the population of the cotton district obviously eauset,
and notoriously has sot, arisen solely from births there, but
has been largely caused by immigration from elsewhere, and
mainly from the rural districts, when population has gene-
rally bees either stationary or retrogressive during the same
penod ; and, as a return to rural life &ad labour would be
neither strange nor unsuitable to such immigrants, an
tation be gives in the first instance to them rather time to
those bred up from their infancy as manufacturing operatives.
2. That they be informed that, in accepting this invitation.
they need be under no apprehension lest their coming should
be coosidered se intrusive or injurious to the labouring popula.
Lion of thin district, since those who invite them have pledged
gecla
themselves not to use them to supplant their owe
oo work which would otherwise have been carried os,
but to originate special, even if tmremunenitive, work,
expressly for their employment, without at all interfering
with the natural demand for labour, and, consequently,
without depressing wages here ; but that, on the contrary,
keeping our money for their relief within the district,
instead of sending it to fancsabire, will tend to keep up
wages here, by retaining a larger fund for employing labour
and supporting trade in this neighbourhood." A committee
was appointed, and Lord Fortescue and other gentlemen
engaged to lodge, feed, and employ a oertain number of
families. The Rev. Prebendary Brereton and Mr. R. 0.
Glanville, of West Rockland, were expected to arrive in
Manchester on Saturday night, for the purpose of fading
out suitable families willing to accept this invitatios.
