From a statement mode by the Chairmen of
the House Committee (O. Campbell, lltoot,), it
appeared that upwind, of 100 persons were she!.
tered no Wednesday night ; and from the ;regula-
tions laid down (which art the result of repeated
consultation, daring the whole of throusonser), the
Committee are satisfied that none but the realty

Dr. CONQUEST, who has again kindly roidented
t• give his assistance, stated is the riseettng, that
amongst the many distressed objects who on Wed.

man in the last stage of human suffering. The ex.
treme rigour of the weather to which this unfortu.
nate being had been exposed, consbisied with the
went-of food, had reduced him to that state of ex.
houstion, that it was the decided opinion of Dr. C.
when lie examined him. that he could not have sur.
vived another night, had there been uo Refuge
fur the Houseless."
The Committee were occupied in their interest.
ing duty from one o'clock until four. and amour'
other important arrangements, it was resolved to
open forthwith two other receptacles in other parts
of the town, upon the *lime plan as that adopted at
the London Workhouse. The Committee adhere
to their resolution or confiniug their attention to
the one object, .1 a/ailing nightly shelter and
sustenance to those who nerd them, considering
that any ilium beyond must have the unavoidable
tendency to inundate the metropolis with vagrants,
by attracting them from all purls of the kingdom,
awl recollecting 'list many instances occurred last
winter of perish officers in country places actually
sending their own poor to London. to participate
in the relief afforded by Ibis Institution.
Several new subscriptions were announced, and
the bvit pledge to the public as to their appropria-
tion, is the known activity and huusauity of those
to whom their bounty is iutrusted.
