PRESENTATION or COLOURS TO THE 37TH 11E01-
NENT.—Yssterdar, at three o'clock a presentation of
colours to t.ie :.,7th Regiment took place at the Salford
Barracks. After the usual ceremony of trooping the old
colours the regiment was drawn up in hollow square, when
the Rev. P. C. Nicholson, rector of St. Philip's,conseerated
the new ones. They were then banded to Mrs. Warre, wits
of Colonel Warre, C. 8., the commander of the regiment,
who presented them to two of the ensigns. Mrs. Warne
WAY addressed the officers, and afterwards General Sir
John Oarvock, the commander of the northern district,
addressed the reximent. He traced its history from
Aliment, where it trot distinguished itself, down to the
pert it had borne iu the suppression of the Indian mutiny.
Colouel Wane afterwards addressed the men. Among the
company present were Sir Sydney Cotton, and the officers
of the 72nd Highlanders and Bth Hussars.
RECRUITS' FUR VI 7: STRzyrs.—Accnrdinc to the
report of the Rescue Society just published, three out of
dye of the workhouse girls of London come eventually to
the streets. We are not prepared to guarantee the
arithmetical accuracy of the statement ; but it will not
surprise anyone who is acquainted with the lamentable
want of classification of the in matesof the workbouses,whes•
the most c Widened women arefrequently rlaced amidst the
helpless. destitute, bat respectable girls, driven by want of
employment into the house, and the evil ioduences to
which girls brought upon the workhouse are subjected.
But it is a shocking commentary upon the evils of the,
existing system, and a powerful argumentin favour of that
classified arrangement of permanent inmates which was
proposed by the Poor-Law Commissiosen in their wising
report, and was recently described by Mr. Edwin Chadwick.
who was one of them. —Br:!is:, Medical Journal.
