EMPLOYMENT OP THE FOOR —A meeting to
desist some means of ameliorating the sufferings of the
unemployad poor during the approaching minter,
was held yesterday evening at the Western Insei-
tteion, B. B. Cabbell, Erg., in the chair. The
lecture room was crowded. the chairman, in opening
the proceedings, ini.icated the course proposed to be taken.
The number co men at present employed in cleansing the
streets was about 500, while 10,000 would be absolutely
necessary to have the work dune in anything like a proper
manna. It was calculated that there were exult SO,OOO
unemployed mechanics and 15,0,0 unemployed labourer, is
London, and, it a menus of employing 10,000 of that
large body could be found, a very great relief would
be afforded both to the poverty and the rates of
the metropolis. There were 2.50,000 houses in London,
and a tax of Gil. on each helm would fully answer
the purpose intended. the p:an had already been
carried out on a small scale by the Philanthropic Asso-
ciation, and the object orate prctent meetiog was to bring
the principle into general operation. At the conclusion of
the chairman's address, a body of 40 men employed by the
Philanthropic Association were introduced to the meeting,
the chairman taking amnion to ()beery* that they were
earning au independent livelihood, who would otherwise
have been unwilling suppliants at the poor-house.—Mr.
Cochrane moved the following resolution:

FRANKFORT, OCT. 15.
The events of Vienna sorely perplex all parties
in Frankfort, if the extreme left be excepted,
which of course tspouses evtry revolutionary
excess. The Viennese movement hu a double

character: it is German andult

also patriotic and socialist. Hence our perplexity
here in Frankfort. The Viennese ultra-liberals have
beaten the pare Austrian party (the yellow and
black), which made common cause with the Scla-
vonians in the Constituent Assembly of Vienna, and
was hostile to the idea of German unity. The victors
of Vienna are led, however, by ultra-democrats
and by societies allied to those of Bann,
which denounce Frankfort and its parliament.
The Frankfort deputies si e their friends in Vienna led
by chiefs who are the decided enemies of the German
parliament. But, on the other hand, the Emperor
and his last ministers are the foes of Germany and
freedom ; they have given themselves up to the Sla-
vonian party and the narrow Austrian. If the liberals
of Frankfort are thus perplexed, the right side of the
German parliament are scsnely las so. Thay sup-
port the good yellow or pure Austrians, and dread to
see them owe any triumph to Jellachich, which is
tantamount to their absorption amongst the Sla-
vonians. . . .

In this state of opinion, we are all awaiting the
nest events with the greateet anxiety. The extreme
left here is of course in ecstasies with the insurrec-
tion of Vienna, and has despatched two of its
leading members to take the lead in its councils.
These aro Itabert Blum and Troshel. You know
Blum, member for Leipeig, powerful as a popular
orator, but very shallow in political knowledge or
views. He is a thorough demagogue, ready to take
any tone to suit his auditory, without any scruple as
to the meltes to be employed to attain any end, espe-
cially if that end be power. This he will probably
seek at Vienna, after having missed it in neck-
fort. Troabil, his colleague, is president of
the Democratic Society of Frankfort, which
drills and enregiments the working classes, organises
popular clubs, and which lately pronounced and bar-
ricaded in the streets of Frankfurt. The party now
clamours far a new For Parliament in Berlin.
'f 'rebel has all the talents of Blum, with more tenni',
dignity, and depth. If these two gentlemen get the
mastery of affairs in Vienna, they will lead the
Viennese further than they imagine, or than will
prove either useful or agreeable.
No one knows where this movemeut may extend
to. An experiment of the kind is expected in Berlin,
where if it should succeed, it will be difficult to keep
Frankfort quiet. My own opinion is that Frankfort
is the safest, and that it alone can save liberty and
order. Frankfort has all along been successful in
keeping down insurrection. Hecker was driven from
the VOr-Parliament. The committee of fifty put
down the revolt of the Black Forest. And the
present parliament triumphed easily over the late
&nettle. Vienna and Berlin have in the meantime
been the victims of every attempt at insurrection.
Present events prove their sufficiency as to Vienna,
whera no resistance or precaution has ever been
made. The weakness of government and authority
has there fostered emen'e. At the case is
much the same. ‘Vrangel made his soldiers
sharpen their swords and charge their muskets.
Bat Pfuel recoiled from the collision. And
now indeed insurrection at Berlin is law; for
the nationals have &eland, and not without somc
appearance of fairness, that hi ;h treason cannot last
in a couiary that has no constitution. They have
acquitted perms on this ground. General 1 is
this moment obliged to disband the royal guard.
I cannot but think that there aro statesmen at
Frankfort who would manage better, and who would
keep down insurrection, without endangering liberty.
I trust the honour is reserved for the parliament
government and city.

The Rev. Mr. Pawnsll seconded the resolution, which, with
the others, wu carried.—After which thanks were voted to
the chairman, and the meeting separated.
ROYAL GENERAL DISPENSARY.—THE CHOLERA.—
A meeting of governors of the above institution was held
yesterday at the dispensary. Aldersprate.street, the object
being to receive a report (min the medical °Moen relative
to the steps neceesary to be taken for the relief of cholera
patients, and to prevent the spreading of the diem*. The
chair was taken by W. Atkinson, Req., and the secretary
proceeded to read the report. This document, which was
rather lengthy began by stating that the committee hai
called the medical officers into council " for the purpose of
considering what steps should be taken by toe dispensary
for the alleviation of the sufferings of the poor under
the visitation of the cholera." The medical efficcre
recommended that relief should be dispensed at tell hours '
and without recommendation to all persons labouring uirler
symptoms of disrrbwa, and that sufficient quantities lof the
necessary remedies should always be kept in readiness. The
medical stoners believe that the existing diepeaseries mazablo
made the most I ffectual agents fur the prevention of cho
and recommend that the institution should be at once place
at the disposal) of the general hoard of health end the City
commissioners of sowers. In the meanwhile they ream-'
mend that the sick he in all cases removed from the rooms
occupied by the rut of the family, and that measures should
therefore be taken to secure the use of sue room in any
house where cholera may be present exclueir ly for cholera
patients. None of the family to enter the room,
except such as are necessary for attendance. Nurses
to be procured for those who have no relations
about them. This object might be effected by
communications with the various boards of guardians. The
medical officers recommend the supply of fresh clothing
and the washing of soiled clothes, and strongly object to the
washing of the soiled clothes of cholera patients along with
those of the unaffected, end, therefore, recommend the open-
ing of washing•roorne with a plentiml supply of hot and
coil water in various districts of the City. They recommend
visitations and an active carrying out of the " Nuisance
Act," and, finally, they urge the necessity of a plentiful
purply of warm clothing and flannels, and of wine and
brandy for medicinal purpoeee. The report, :which was
moved by the Rey. Mr. Rogers and seconded by Mr. Saul,
was unanimously Mooted by the meeting, and, thanks having
been voted to the chairman, the proceedings terminated.
MEDICAL RELIEF BOCIETT.—Last night the half-
yearly general court of the above charity, established to
offend relief to the widows and orphans of medical men la
London end its vicinity, was held at the Gray's-inn coffee-
house, Holborn, Martin Ware, Esq., vice.preiident, in the
chair. from the statement for the last nix months, it ap-
peared that the receipts ausouutml to 4701., whilst near 7001.
had been distributed among 45 applicants, namely, 33
widows end 12 orphans. There was en increase in the
number of sufferers relieved during the past halt year, pi o-
pOr ionably to the advance in the income. The capital is
upwards of 41.0001. the report was adopted, and, after the
election of officers and the other routine business had been
disposed of, the court adjourned.
FREE BATHS AND WAS/MOUSES FOR THE Pam
—The committee of the above excellent charity, situate in
Glaashouseateset, East Smithfield, yesterday made their
third annual report, which states that the establishment is
highly valued by the poor, as proved by the ardour and
anxiety with which its gratuitous benefits are sought, it
having been found that amongst the numbers who continu-
ally flock to the establishment many have purposely journeyed
the distance of five, six, and seven miles. During the past
year the bathers were 33,655, and 31,843 poor women had
washed and dried the clothes of themselves and families, and
12,610 had ironed. The institution has also gratuitously
furnished many hundreds of the poor in the crowded and
wretched localities in the neighbourhood of East Smithfield I
with whitewashes, chlorid.., &c.. for the impose of cleansing
and purifying their abodes, together with the loans of pails
and brushes, which to • great extent had prevented the'
spread of fever prevailing at different period.. The receipts
of the year, 3671. 56. lld., have been considerably exceeded
by the expenditure. It is to be hoped that an untitutien
doing so much good, and in all probability preventing much
danger to the community, will not be allowed to sink for
want of support.
INCREAbE OFATTORNETEL—In the ensuing Michael-
mu term no fewer than 200 patrons have given notice of
their intention to apply to be admitted attorneys of the
Court's of Queen's Deitch, Common Pleas, and Exchequer.
Of these 188 have given the notices required by the regula-
lion. of the Incorporated Law Society, and 12 have been
added to the lid pursuant to judges' order. The number of
perilous admitted during the last Hilary, Easter, and Trinity
Terms exceeded 600, thereby making, with those to he ad-
mitted next term, an increase of 700 attorneys during the
present year.
PATRONAGE IN "IRE NAVIN—We hive been re-
quested to insert the following letter to the editor of the
Horning Chronicle:
Sir,—An anonymous correspondent, under the signature
of ' C.,' has addresred a letter to me in your paper ef the
3rd inst., wbieh I regret I have not been able more
promptly to notice. It seems that at a public meeting
held en this town of the members of the Finan-

ci,l Reform Association, over which I presided as
chairman, I have been understood to have stated that
the ' son of Sir Robert Peel, a young man 23 years of
age, hid been appointed to the command of one of the finest
frigates in the service. I beg leave to remark that what I
baleen I did say (and I am confirmed in the opinion by
some of those who were present on the occasion) was, that
Sir Robert Peers son had been appointed to the
command of one of the finest snack in her Ma-

jei7y's navy ' and a reference to the report of the pro-
ceedings at the meeting contained in the Liverpool
Mercury newspaper, published two days afterwards, shows
that the word ' vessel,' and not' frigate,' was made use of by
me. In alluding to the Daring, I did so with a reference to
her tangoing qualities, her improved model, and compara-
tively recent construction ; and to that statement, made ad•
yinedly, in illustration of my views and without any personal
object, I adhere. Perhaps it may be considered that an ex-
pression of my sense of obligation is due to' C.' for the
trouble he has taken to point out the distinction between a
12 gun brig and a frigate: ' Commander Wm. Peel, how-
ever, does command a little 12-gun brig, eallel
the Daring (see Navy List), a vessel bearing about
the same proportional resemblance to a fine frigate
that Liverpool does to London, and therefore,
as unlike it as possible.' Valuable as this information may
be in the west-end, it is in my cam utterly superfluous, inas-
much as I have been a ship-owner for fifteen years, and em
from experience conversant with all matters relating to
shippinr. But the ' frigate' and the ' 12-gnu brig,' and
the difference between the one and the other are altogether
beside the question. My object was to expose the mischie-
vous operation edam power and exclusive patronage, show-
ing that promotion, unearned, is grented to the sons and
connexions of one leas of society to the detriment and at
the expese of all the others.—Roanursom GLADSTONI,
