THE DISTURBANCES IN TOULOUSE.

Writing on Saturday night, our Paris correspon-
dent says
The

of the Mayor of Toulouse,
front the general oommandiNg
does not read as if he thought all danger over

Inhabitants of Toulouse,—l have returned among you.
I have learned with pain that recently public order has
been aerietudy troubled in this town. Young men, 'Dialed
by a false interpretation of the Army Bill, have dared to
join with the scum of the earth, old convicts sod notorious
agitators, in culpable manifestations. Order, public
sec, and respect for persons and things, must be
assured.
Let all honest and quiet people have full con-
fidence in me. It is not the first time that I have found
myself is face of an &ink ; and now, as formerly, I shall
know how to pat it down.—Headquarters, Toulouse,
March 12, 1868.—The General of Diviaion, Senator com-
manding the tith Corps, Count Ds Gotox.

The Pays, which yesterday celled for the dis-
missal of the prefect, now falls foul of General de
Goyon, who, it says, had no business to be absent
from his post.i That doctrine taken in an absolute
sense is rather hard, and certainly not in confor-
mity with the constant practice of generals in high
command. The Petrie says :

THE WAGES OF AGRICULTURAL LASOURRRIL —A
numerous meeting to muskier this ciesetion took place at
HaMerton, Devon, on Saturday. Sir John Bowing pre-
sided, and on behalf of 2,000 labourers and working men
of the county presented the Rev. Canon Obdiestase, of
Bristol, • diver epepe value 401., " in grateful remain.
brines of his aucoerial efforts to raise their wages." It
wee stated that many of the subscribers had given the
name of " A Ham" " A Rabbit," ire., as if known to
support the Canon they would b 4 turned nut of their
situations. The Chairman said parliament was beginning
to feel that there were weep to be redressed, that the
'maiden of the vast majority of her Majesty's subjects
was not what it ought to be. Canon Oire, in ao-
kaowledging the testimonial, strongly urged the labourers
to form unions among themselves for the miming of their
wages, for be had found that there was • clique of farmers
who ware determined if they could to kee' raps down, to
keep the labourers in • state of thraldom. He gave in-
stances of tyraany on the part of the finnan. One of
them bad threatened to turn a labourer out of employ-
ment and out of his cottage if he ever rang the perish belle
again for Canoe Girdlestone. He had been told that it
was outrageous for • clergyman to step out of his pu4it
and take an interest in the welfare of Ilia people, but ais
he did not believe, and he was determined to moist the
labourers in getting more wages.

A despatch front Tonlows assures us that the town has
entirely resumed its winnowed physiognomy. Order and
calm prevail. The -tribunals are actively pursuing a
judicial investigation. The leader of the bend has been ar-
rested, to the great satisfaction of the population of
Toulouse, including most of tha misled rioters, who have
now returned to hotter sentiments.

The Toulouse theatre was closed on the 12th, by
way of precaution.

Mace of welbooexidered sad systematic piens in the
adadaistration of charity, and to state how *steely we
accord with the various efforts wllfeh hare been
DO sucessfally made to estatlish large and publicly-
recognised A central committees for the distri-
bution ir of relief in time of nnunal distress.
From the want of plan, though good is aimed at, positive
hams Gan for the most part only cane. In giving alms it
is above all things essential to discriminate broadly and
clearly between the different eases whom claims are
urged en such periods of distress as ;revelled in the Dist-
end specially, and in the poor, r districts of the metropolis
generally, dieing the past wicter. A grand point could
be gained by altogether discouraging the appeals for help
made by self-constituted committee, and unknown and
irresponsible individuals, and by entrusting contributions
for general relief to central committees, only composed of
well-known and competent men. We meek from experi-
ewe when we affirm that great moral evil results to multi-
tudes of the working population, and that the idle and
vicious are confirmed in their idleness and vice, by the
facility with which relief can be, and oftentimes is,
obtained by the same person from several mums at the
same time through the want of co-operation on the part of
those to whom contributions ed funds are entrusted for
distributioa. There are but tee many thriftless poor, who
habitually look fur relief from local charities, who in the
winter season are the first to urge their claims, and who
are but too suocessful in making their demands heard.
Macy of this class are utterly ewer:dons in their state-
ments, and others of them sill not hesitate to serums the
Language and conventional forms of piety, with a
view to impose upon ministers of religion and re-
ligious visitors. Wo meet too strongly depre-
cate the temptation hell out to this latter sort by
visitor, suggesting, and even j reusing upon then:, attend-
ance at church or chapel, and withholding help where
such attendance is not given. Our experience justifies us
in saying that the administration of charity shauld be
strictly kept apart from every oth:r object ; and that real
necessity should be the sole gritted of its being given.
There is a very large oAM of poor who have at all
time to struggle to live, and who in winter become unable
to make ends meet. Any dente of trade, any excess of
cold, is sure to increase this class, and throw its members
on the rates or upon otle: chari'y, sometimes on both.
But there exists no wise ct mlination of resources and
experience among the manages. of charitable institutions
and distributors of relief to judiciously encounter
these mats of tempered distress. Rene it is
quite possible, and to or personal knowledge not uncom-
mon, for the sturdy poor to apply to and obtain help from
eTietiff etakeler at eisesseeseisse-dlike dams.
raheation of the poor thus caused is rapid and widespread;
and the ferule supplied by the benevolent an wasted, and
Memo the means of fostering and perpetuating the pauper-
km they are intended to diminish. We need only refer to
the East-end relief societies and committees, recently so
many and so active, as proof of the want of combination and
00-opeation, of which there is great room to complain. We
would urge the need of combined action in these mattes,
and the importance of entrusting charitable donations to
duly reoogniaed central committees only, front another
consideration. When charitable subscriptioas are required
to meet the exceptional and temporary privations of one
more parts of the metropolis, nothing is more easy,
matters are not judiciously managed, than to beget

hankering for and expectation of help iu other district,
than the mitering ones ; and we ►now from experience
that individuals may be found in these other district. who,
seeing bow readily'ountributions can be had if appealed for,
will, for sectarian and other ends, become competitors foe
a ahem of the alms the well-disposed have to give away.
♦ hags aentral committee, having is connection with it
• staff of trustworthy end impartial visitors, and that
should know from reliable information the condition

the various parts of the metropolis, would correct thin
imbue, and would direct the sifts of a charitable public to
the cues and localities where they aboald be really
needed.

What we take exception to is the commonly adopted
course of entrus►ing alma to committees or individual men
of whom the charitable know nothing but that they
loudly advertise for help. Our remarks In no way refer
melt contributions and donations as friends may entrust
well-known clergymen, district visitors, missionaries,
medical men, sad others who move among and are in daily
contact with the poor. Such will ever know of numerous
individual cones of want and privation anseng the donut
and deserving of the artisan classes that could not be
brought under the notice of a large committee. To per-
sona of euperior education and taste, hut reduced in *cum.
stance*, the inside of a workhcute or parish pay is utterly
repellant, and there are numbers 'IMO who through

fault of their owr, but from being °Unburdened by young
families, or through suffering from IMMO temporary or per-
manent form of bodily • eines', repairs oecerilaeal
help. To eosin mass of this sort, contribution'
may be arrays safely and wisely entrusted to those whose
elleial position and well-known character afford ground
for believing that they will, from their urinal fitness and
knowledge, be enabled to render JoAnne. aid in times et
need. Bat whenever general distress prevails, it would
be wiser and better in every ream to entrust one**.
Bons for relief on a large reale to central committees
alone for the benefit of the suffering through well rang-
need and impartial channels. As visitors to the poor our-
waves, we would state that our duties are not confined to
home visitation and mocks of relief through those We
