CHAPLAINS IN Woaenovsr.s.—A deputation,
consisting of Mr. Hodgson, M.P., Mr. E. Potter, M.P.,
and Mr. Charles Howard, M.P., had an interview with
the Right Hon. Gethorne Hardy, at the offices of the
Poor-law Board, Whitehall,• yesterday, and presented a
memorial praying for the suspension of the order of the
board appointing a paid chaplain to the workhouse at
Carlisle, an appointment to which the board of guardians
in that city is strongly opposed. After hearing the state-
ments of the hon. members in support of the memorial,
setting forth that religous ministration was efficiently
given under the present system, Mr. Hardy consented to
defer issuing the order for six weeks, on the promise that
Mr. Hodgson would, in the meantime, report the opinions
ex reseed at this interview to the board of guardians.
THE CLEILOY AND THE RELIEF OF THE POOR.—
The Bishop of London bits written to the committee of
the Metropolitan Relief Association, 21, Regent-street,
requesting them to meet daily at 4 o'clock, as in the time
of the cholera visitation last autumn, for the immediate
distribution of relief through the clergy and their district
visiting societies. The committee on Wednesday voted
875 f. to necessitous parishes. The accounts of the dis-
tress witnessed by a member of the committee who had
visited the east of London to make inquiries on the spot
were appalling. " The committee," writes the bishop,
" will be most ready, as in the autumn, to act in concert
with any other well as
associations. Though we
employ the agency of the clergy, it is a strict rule that no
distinction be made between members of different reli-
gious bodies."
