EMPLOYMENT. OF WOMEN.—A society.;_bas been 037.
tablislitd for promoting the employineut of women.
The committee iucludes several ladies of title. Viscount
Raynham, M.P., is the treasurer, and the'eociety seems
to be organised so as to be. likely to promote, the excel,
lent object in view. .A statement has been published, in
which various objections to the employment of women
are answered.. ..It appears also. from this atatament that ,
it is the intention of the society to establisla-ai large 1
school for girls and. young women, where ihey.may be
speedily trained to wait in shops, by_ being thoroughly
well instructed in accounts, bookkeeping, &c. ; be taught
to fold and tie np parcels, and perform Many Other little
acts which a retired shopwoman could teach them. The
necessity of politeness towards- customers, and .a con:
stant self-command, will also be duly impressed upon
them. • Girls edinated in this school would be capable
of becoming 'clerks, cashiers, and ticket-sellers at rail-
way stations. It is also contemplated to establish
work Shops in connection with the school, where the
girls might' be taught other trades—trades well suited to
women, but now almost exclusively in the hands of men,
such as printing and hairdressing,- for instance. As the
means of the society increased so : would the 'number .of
workshps and the variety of trades taught.

of
the
Committee of Deputies of the British-Jews was held on
Monday evening ,to take into' consideration and to eon;
cert measures for-the relief of the deplorable destitution'
of their co-religionists in Tangier and other parts of
the empire of Morocco. Sir Moses Montefiore, the
President of.theCommittee, acting a chairman. From
statements made at the meeting it appears that in ap-
prehension of the war about' to be waged between
Spain and Morocco, the Jewish inhabitants of the city
of Tangier, fearing .a repetition of the brutal usage which
they experienced when the wild Kabyle. bis :came
down to the coast in 1844, have fled .fran their homes
in a state of utter destitution ; that nearly'2,7oo of these
unhappy persona have arrived at Gibraltar; and that it
is but too probable they will be followed by many thou-
sands more from other parts of' MorocCe. A Meal com-
mittee of the Jewish residents at „Gibraltar ;has Veen
formed to relieve, aslar as predicable,. this vast amount
of destitution ; and . their efforts are being generously
aided

ing. It was stated that at the date of the last adViCes

children, had no resting. place except the bare' ground, .

the benevolent confined to the locality could, avail to
any considerable extent in alleviating such Overwhelm-
ing want. The meeting, Under these trielandlidlY cirL
cumstances, and impressed with a feeling of commisera"-
tion for their destitute and panic-stricken co-religionists,
before separating formed themselves into a-tomimttee of
relief, with power to add to their number; and are now!,
making an energetic appeal to. the Jewish 'coaininnitv,
not only in this country, but throughout Europe'Aild other
parts of the world, for the earliesf practicable Assistance.
In this appeal they add that, in a case so 'unprece-
dented, they cannot venture to deny themselves the aid of
benevolent communities and persons, without distinction
of creed, whose philanthropy may induce them to profferi
their co-operation. At the conclusion of therproceed-i
ings upwards of £3OO was subscribed upon the' spot,- Sill
