MEETING OF COAL WHIPPERS.

A Very large meeting of the coal whippers of the
port of London was held on Wednesday evening in the St.
Masy's Schoolroom, Johnson'•street, Shaded', for the
pupae of taking into ceasiderstion the beet means of alle-
viating the great dlltress which prevailed amongst the body
of coal whippers, and the adoption of some more decided and
energetic measures for its immediate ?slier. The pre-
medlarm' having been opened by Nth BART/lOU% the
n,
chair
Jour Form, a coal whipper, moved the following rage
tutioa—" That in the year 1843, an act of pulismest was
lease the coal whippets of the port of London
from the to release
public-house agency system. That the term for
which the act was last renewed expired during the lest
session of parliament, and was not again renewed is
emsitence of a pledge being given to the Board of Trod'
by 360 of the coal owners, futon, and misters of vessels to
early out Ito provisions under private arrangement. That
notwithrtandieg that pledge given by and in the name of
the coal owners, faetors, and masters of the port of Londe.,
the old system of public house truck agency has beta again
revived, sad now about one third of the whole number ere
employed by publicans end other tradesmen, and the re-
making two thirds through the office established by the
owners mid (actors; that this meeting seem in this state
of things the commencement of that system from which the
coal whipper suffered so math in time peat, and feels
morally certain that If the practice is allowed to propose
unrestrained by law, the cambers employed by agents
will ge en inereesiag until nearly the whole of the Gael
whipping trade is again performed through a mesa
et agency from which the late sot of parliament was
pared to pretest the opal whippers. That this meeting,
Nursed Wawa entirely of Goal whippers, sees with the
utmost alarm that they are being gradually taken bath to
work under the old system of public-honse track
agency. That a large number already are and nearly all
bid fair to be again compelled to accept the greater pert of
their earnings in iatozicating drinks, and that drunkenness
is, and will be, the only medium through which they can
erasure employment. That the abomination of this system
imperatively demands the interference of the public,
and the united 'zeniths of the coal-whipper.; and
this meeting hereby determines to use every thirtieth
to remnant the feels of the case to the government and the
legislature, and not to rest satisfied witil they again obtain
the power of the law to put down those evil practices which
reduce the coal-whipper to a state of vice and misery."
Jour Cunene seconded the etiolation, which was sae-
nimously agreed to, as were other resolutions for the adop-
tion of a memorial to the Board of Trade, and for petitions
to both houses of parliament.

evening a large and

respectable meeting of the inhabitants of-Limbo-use was
held in the Reticent School. to concert measures for raising
funds to complete the restoration of the parish church of
St. Anne, which was almost destroyed by fire on the Good
Friday of 1850. Dr. D. Dunbar occupied the chair. From
• report read by Mr. Dicker, the honorary secretary, it
appeared that the total sum originally required to restore
the sacred edifice was no less than 12,7691. To meet that,
there was a policy of insurance amounting (with 8001. oa
the organ) to 6,0001., and • church rate was obtained which
yielded 1,1501. ; the patrons (the Principal and Fellows of
yielded 11501.; the potion. (the Pritteipal scd Fellows of
Bresence. College, Oxford) subscribed 6001., and 8971. was
raised by voluntary contributions. A Young Men's Aro-
, Mallon was afterwards formed, by which an additional
1,8901. was collected; end by means of the funds so raised
the church was pot in a condition to be reopened on the
11th of December, 11461. Three years later • meeting
was held, sad an appeal made to the public, which
was so tar satisfactory that the deficiency on tee
whole sum required was reduced to 1,6001. To meet
this the meeting was held last night. A great number
of speeches were made, in which the teeing of interest in a
bedding endeared to the inhabitants of the parish by so
Many assOailitioal was warmly expressed; and the very
d
liberal sum of 7001. (includingonations cf 100 guineas each
from the chairmen and Mr. Henry Greet) was subscribed
in the room. The church, it may be laureation to add, was
emeallielleed in 1712, but was not completed till 1724. nor
