WANDSWORTH.
Emma Banks, aged 14 years, surrendered to her bail to
further answer the charge of wilfully setting fire to some
clothe., causing damage to the amount of U. 7ti. 6d.
The prisoner was in the service of Mr. De Chastolain, of
19, St. iZleorge's-strent, Battersea. On Saturday morning
week Mrs. De Chasteb.in placed some clothes before the
kitchen fire, and afterwards went accompanied by
the prisoner. She was sent down sand was absent
about ten minute& When she returned she was sent in
to the next room to sweep tt. She afterwards ran out and
said, "Oh ! Sae, smoke !" She then told her mistress
that she found smoke coming up from below, who upon
going into the kitchen found a blase. She ran for
help, and on a man going to her meanie:ice he
threw water upon it. The clothes and clothes-horse were
burnt, and lying upon the floor, which was scorched. She
called the prisoner, and accused her of having wilfully
set fire to the clothes, but she made no reply. Subse-
quently she explained that it was the result of an acci-
dent ; that she put the clothes-horse nearer to the tire,
when one of the petticoats caught flre, and she could not
put it out ; and also that she did not like to tell her
mistress. The magistrate, who thought there were
grounds for giving her into custody, remanded her for in-
quiry. In the course of last week the case came to the
knowledge of the Marquis Townshend, who attended
the court and became bail for her appearance.
The Marquis Townahend again attended, when the
prisoner surrendered.
After some explanation, Mr. De Chnstelain withdrew
the charge at the retitled of the prisoner's friends, on
finding that they were respectable.

THE Dearetraous CLASSES, AND How TO DEAL
erns( 'num.—The discussion raised yesterday week at the
Society of Arts on the paper by the Rev. H. folly, "How
to deal with the Unemployed Poor of London, and with
its Reap ' and Criminal Classes," was resumed last
evening, in the more fitting but far lees convenient arena
of the rooms of the Social Science Association, Adam-
street, Adelphi. The attendance, which included many
ladies was very numerous—more, indeed, than the room
could accommodate. Mr. Edward Webster, in the
absence of Lord Lyttelton, who was to have presided in
succession to the -Bishop of London, was called to the
chair, and he announced, before the debate was opened,
that a letter had been received from Earl Ru-sell, dated
the 29th inetant, in which the noble earl said, " The
question requires more investigation. A commit-
tee might embody the best suggestions, and lay
them before Lord Devon and the Poor-law Boar I."
The discussion was commenced by Mr. Thos. Webst Q C.,
who said Mr. folly's plan proposed to comb:no the dif-
ferent benevolent societies of the metropolis, to prevent
the unworthy poor living on their funds. On the other
hand. Mr. Francis Fuller, who mooted the question many
months ago, thought the best remedy for the existing sad
state of affairs was to find employment for the destitute
poor. No doubt the solution of the problem would be
found in education, employment, and emigration, and
in order that there might be an amalgamation of the
two parties he would move this resolution, viz.,
" That a committee consisting of the Bishop of Lon-
don, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Lich-
field, Lord Lyttelton, Sir E. A. Lechmere, M.P.,
the Right Rev. Dr. Manning, Mr. T. Webster, Mr. E.
Chadwick, C. 8., Mr. Robert Rawlinaon, Mr. James Beal,
Mr. Beggs, Mr. Thomas Brassey, jun., Mr. Francis Fuller,
Mr. Frederick Hill, Dr. Stallard, Dr. Lankester, Mr.
M`Clelland, and the Rev. H. folly, with power to add to
their number, be appointed for the purpose of considering
what steps should be taken in reference to the
casual, destitute, and truant poor in the metropolis
and other places, and the several associations and plans in
existence or proposed for providing temporary and per-
manent occupation and employment of such poor. Mr.
Francis Fuller, in seconding the resolution, observed that
the practical experien he had obtained at Red-hill had
convinced him that the reformatory system as at present
administered was a mistake. After some hours discus-
sion, the speakers being limited to ten minutes each, and
the disposal of an amendment, the resolution was carried
by a large majority, and the meeting stood adjourned for
a month, when the committee will make their first report.
Amongst those presort were Mr. Chisholm Anstey, the
Rev. W. H. Channing, the Rev. Stopford A. Brooke, and
Mr. John Ruskin.
