PARISH OF ST. LUKE, OLD-STREET:DECREASE
OF PAUPERISH.—In this extensive and populous parish
there has been, in the course of the last few years, a
gradual decline in the number of pauper applicants for
relief, both of in-door and out-door poor. In the year
1845, the expenditure on account of the poor amounted
to about 13,7001., while up to Lady-day this year, it was
reduced to 8,700/. In the former year the rate was 3s.
23. in the pound, while in the latter year the annual
charge to the ratepayers was 2e. sd. in the pound. This
has arisen in consequence of the decrease in the number
of paupers. In the year 1845, there were 596 inmates
in the workhouse, while this year, up to Lady-day, they
were diminished to 459. The out-door applicants
amounted in the former year to 33.432, and this year to
26,354. The decrease in the rate would have beenexp moreeni.
but that the charge on account of the county d
tura has increased from 1,4851. in 1845, to 10,3461. this
year, and which has boon imposed by the county magis-
trates.
A LIFE LINE.—A new apparatus for th • rowing a
line on board vessels in distress, invented by M. Del-
vigne, has been tried from the head of the jetty at Havre,
in presence of some officers of the artillery, and per-
fectly succeeded.
