61a,--Of the various plans proposed for the re-
lief of the starving population of Lancashire, sone are so
effectual as those which combine relief and employment.
lodustrial efforts, while providing the operative with food,
supply what is almost equally necessery—occnnation far
the Mind. Work is a valuable sanitary agent in dispelling
that physical depression which is the tevariable result of •
mind being left to brood over misfortune. In the cam of
young women, the absolute necessity of keeping them em-
ployed, and in the receipt of something like adequate re-
is universally recognised, and barn led to the formation
of sewing classes. These, while providing work and giving
2a, per head a week as wages, have the additional merit of
instructing the women in some of those household duties of
which the factory women are in general so ignorant. But
at present these excellent institutious are very far from
being able to meet the necessities of the young women.
The report of the Central Executive Committee states
that after making deductions for females employed at home,
there would be about this time 70.000 young women de.
pendent on the guardians or the Relief Committee.
At the prosiest asomest I am informed there are not
more them 13,000 young women in the sewing classes,
leaving arra:dad 50,000 young women without work, and
in receipt of vary leadequate
The managers of the classes are aware of this fact, and
would ',Mandy in many came double the number of girls
in their employ, but are deterred by the heavy cost of
materials used in the classes, unless a good sale for the
clothes, when made, is secured.
An attempt to meet the difficulty is now being made, and
a gentleman of excoriates is engaged in making purchases
and giving orders for work from the sewing classes. He
reporte—"Now they will be able materially to increase the
number of their hands, as very many distressed poor are
waitisg employment."
By the kindness of the proprietor of the Sobo Bazaar •
stall has been given rent free, where warm clothing for the
poor, made in the Lancashire sewing classes, is now for isle.
It is calculated that every It. expended at the stall will
give employment to six young women fur one week.
Ladies who give away warm clothing to the poor at this
mason will be doing a double good by buying at the Lan-
cashire needlework depot, Soho Bazaar; while Femme wbo
are desirous of sending help to the cotton distriete can here
select articles which will be forwarded direct to say relief
committee, or other agency they may prefer, and thus pro.
vide food, clothing, and employment for Laocashire.—l am,
