SOCIETY FOB THE PROTECTION OF YOUNG

Last night the anniversary festival of this society
was held at the London Tavern, Mr. Sheriff M sem t in the
chide.
This society has been established nearly twenty years. Its
objects are to suppress improper houses, and to save young
females under fifteen years of age from threatened ruin.
Upwards of 600 children under fifteen years of age have
been saved from ruin since the conunencement of the society,
and nearly 400 improper houses have been suppresaed. There
are in the asylum (which is capable of weammod=
upwards of 100 inmates) 80 at the present time. In r
to the great majority of these children, thorn are few that
have not done well, fewer still that have done decidedly ill,
and, upon the whole, the educational training adopted has
been of a most satisfactory character. Several of those who
were once inmates et the asylum are now settled in life and
doing well ; a considerable number ore in situations presided
by the charity, and many have been restored to their friends ;
most of whom are pursuing a virtuous life, and maintaining
positions of respectability and trust. Several have claimed
and received the reward for good oonduct in service.
After the usual loyal toasts,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the foist of the evening, "The
prosperity of the London Society for the l'rotection of
Young kemales," and in doing ao said that the class of per-
sons whose rause they were met to advocate were more
sinned against thou sinning. (Hear, hear.) What would
be the came with the male sea if their Irregularities wen
visited with expulaion from home and those other penalties
which were inificted on the other and weaker sex ? (Haw,
hear.) And yet, apart from the conventionalities of
their nature was our nature. (Hear.) Were it not Zie'le
aid of societies like this, which in some degree balanced the
inequalities of society, ho did not know what would become
of human nature. lie did not believe it was possible to alter
human nature,but they ought to =skewer against its irregu-
lwities. He visited the institution, and he could say he never
saw a better organised one. (Hear, hear.) The physical
and moral condition of the children were taken the lust care
of. The inmates received a good industrial training, and
wherever they went they generally proved an honour and
credit to the establishment. As one of the sheriffs of Lon-
don he had an opportunity of seeing hew closely connected
were crime:and poverty, and the want of social and moralkd-
vantages. (Hear, hear.) It was the object of this charity
to below* the evil thus produced, and on thie ground he
confidently appealed to the sympathies of those present.
(Cheers.)
The toast having been duly honoured,
Mr. Barre proposed the' health of the chairman," which
was drunk with all the honours.
The other toasts of the evening were " the clergy," to
which the Rev. Mr. Whittington responded,* " the
managers of the society," which wee replied to by Mr. Her-
rington, a member of the committee; and "the officers of
the society." The amount of subscriptions exceeded 1,1001.
The musical arrangements were efficiently conducted by
Mr. Turner, and contributed in no small degree to the plea-
sures of the evening.
