BRITISH SERVANTS' PROTECTION SOCIETY.—OR
Monday evening a meeting of this society was held at No. 6,
Mill street, Hanover-square, (Or the purpose of submitting
for the approval of the general body a series of resolutions
previously prepared by a committee, and having for their
of the pr.tiection of the rights and interests of British
servants, by preventing the encroachment of foreign ser-
vants, and by establishing a sick and burial fund for the
benefit of its members. The meeting was very numerously
' attended by upper-clam servants, and the proceedings were
conducted with great decorum and propriety. The chair
was occupied by Mr. Kyezor, of l'ottesham-court-road.
—The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting,
and submitted a aeries of resolutions, which, besioes
Rroviding for the establishment of a "Servants' Protection
Society," also directed an appeal to those noblemen and
gentlemen who retained foreigners in their service. request-
ing them to dismiss such foreigners, and to appoint British
servants in their place.—A person who described himself as
having been twenty years a se reset, objected to the latter
resolution, as he thought that any attempt at dictation would
be resisted by the nobility and gentry, who would otherwise
he disposed to regard their condition with sympathy and ecn.
sideration.—Mr. Crouch submitted that German 'errant'
should not be considered foreigners.—A Servant suggested
that Germane, Swiss, French, and Italians sheitld be all
treated alike. They should only treat as British servants
the natives of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.—A
long discussion ensued with regard to the relative number
of English servants employed abroad, and foreign servants
employed in England; when a person who said he
had been mane years a courier, and had been at Rome and
in all parts of Italy, volunteered to bear testimony that there
was not one Englishman employed abroad for every twenty
foreigners employed in England. There was this difference,
too, that whilst English servants abroad were mere grooms
or stable helper, and in the employment of Englishmen, the
foreigners here filled all the superior situations in the esta-
blishments of the English nobility.—Ultimately, the resolu-
tions were postponed for the further consideration of the
committee, in order to avoid anything like a vindictive
feeling, acd the meeting separated.
REPRESENTATION OF RTE.—Mr. H. M. Carta,
who has just been unseated at Rye is again in the field,
