EARLY CLOSING IN THE BOUT •ND SHOE TRADE.
—Last evening a public meeting of the proprietors of
shops in the above trade was held at itryanston-hall for
the purpose of considering the best means to•be adopted
for securing an earlier and more uniform hour of closing
in the trade. Mr. Moore, of the firm of Burrell and Co.,
was called to the chair. The chairman and others
addressed the meeting on the advantages which would be
derived from an earlier cessation of business, and it was
resolved that in consideration of the large number of
houses which closed at ember hours in other trades it is
deemed desirable for the benefit of the assistants employed
in this trade that the hours of labour be shortened, as the
assistants are obliged, through increased rental of houses,
&c.,to live at a great distance from their places of business,
and consequently cannot give that attention to home
duties and their own mental improvement which the pre-
sent age demands. Another resolution was adopted,
soliciting those members of the trade who keep places open
till 9 o'clock to close at 8, and those whose present hour
was half-past 9to close at B. The meeting further pledged
itself to support the West-end Masters Boot and Shoe-
makers' early closing movement.
Eck-TED TENANTS AID ASSOCIATION.-4 public
meeting was held last evening in the Soho Lecture-room,
Rose-street, under the presidency of Mr. WC. Torrens,
M.P., to consider the overcrowded state of the dwellings
of the working people, and the effect of the recent evic-
tions in consequence of public improvements. Mr. G. L
Banks, the secretary of the association, having explained
its objects, the chairman called upon Mr. Cruikshank to
propose the first resolutien, which was—That this meeting,
while acknowledging the necessity of extensive works of
improvement, is of opinion that it is imperatively neces-
sary to secure improved accommodation for the large num-
ber of working people who are driven from their homes for
the public advantage. Mr. Humphreys seconded the reso-
lution, and it was unanimously adopted. Dr. Hardwicke,
deputy coroner for Central Middlesex, proposed the next
resolution, to the effect that the clergy, gentry, and all
classes have a wide field for exertion in furtherance of the
objects of the association. Mr. Brooke seconded the reso-
lution. The Chairman, before putting the resolution,
took occasion to observe that he had many assurances of
help from members of both parties in the House of Com-
mons, in the measure which he would re-introduce in par-
liament next session. _
