WORKING MEN'S CLUBS.

Yesterday the third and concluding day's cenferenee on
working men's clubs and institutes was held in the Whit-
tington Club, Strand. Tho Earl of Lichfield presided, in
the absence of the Dean of Chichester, who was unavoid-
ably absent. Various miscellaneous questions were dis-
cussed, and resolutions for the guidance and government of
clubs were agreed to. In the evening the proceedings were
brought to a close by a conversazione in the large hall of
the club, and which was attended by the Bishop of London,
Lord Fortescue, the Rev. Robert Maguire, M.A., the Rev.
H. Solly secretary of the Working Men's Club Union),
Mr. J. Slaney Pakington, and by many ladies and gentle-
men interested in this movement. After a concert, in
which various pieces ware sung by members of the Work-
ing Men's College choir, the Shoreditch Club choir and by.
others, Lord Lyttelton took the chair, and opened the pro-
ceedings of a public meeting by detailing the general objects
of the Working Men's Club Union. Mr. J. S. Pakington
described the business which had been transacted at the
Conference, and which, he said, had been of a thorougly
practical character. Lord Fortescue moved a resolution,
pledging the meeting to support the efforts being made
" to aid working men in establishing clubs and insti-

Lutes calculated to promote the social, mental, and moral
advancement of the industrial classes," The Hon. and
Rev. S. Best seconded the resolution, which was supported.
by Mr. Bainbridge, a working man, who, on behalf of his
order, thanked the ladies and gentlemen who had aided the
' working men in the establishment of the clubs, and by the
Rev. H. Sony. The motion was carried. The Bishop of
London, who was received with loud cheers, proposed a re-
olution, " That the meeting trusts the future progress of
this movement may be commensurate with its high impor-
tance." He said he suspected that the many difficult ques-
tions which he had found connected with this subject had.
not been solved during the 10 years he had been in London.
One of those difficulties was the exclusiveness which was
apt to spring up, and which found its way in every sort of
society. Mechanics' Institutes showed how this spirit would.
creep in, for these institutes were, as their name denoted,
formed for mechanics•; but, somehow or other, they had
now got into other hands than those for whose benefit they
were originated. This was caused perhaps by those institutes
having a tenden ,y—a good tendency—to raise persons who
as they rose, were apt to look down upon those below them,
and were not disposed to sit down with working men of a
lower grade. Was there not, he asked, the same difficulty
with regard to these clubs ? Working men were spoken of
as if they were one class ; but the fact was, taking the terra
to mean those to whom it was generally applied, it was his
experience there were as great variety among them as among
other classes of society. He had found the working weavers
of Carlisle, whose earnings were from 5s to lOs a week, and
he knew not how they kept body and soul together on such
pittances, were capable of making good speeches, and were
men in every way deserving of respect, but he had seen that
there was a wide difference between them and the working
men in other and larger towns. The Working Men's Clubs,
he urged, must be made to take in all classes of working
men or the system would not be perfect, to consider the
(loci( labourer in East London and the market gardener of
Fulham, and include in fact the very poorest classes of the
towns and the agricultural population of the country. He
also urged that care should be taken to bring the young
within the scope of the clubs, and he praised the institutes
formed at the Savoy and in Islington for this special object.
lie further said that one club with which he had been con-
nected the working men had discussed the question whether
or not persons not living by weekly wages should be on the
committee. He deprecated this spirit of exclusiveness, as he
considered it would be tor the glory of England to so con-
nect all classes that the highest should stretch out the hand.
to those below them. He did not think that religious er po-
litical subjects could be excluded from clubs, for all men
who had thought would remember that they were Chris-
tians and citizens, and he concluded by saying that ha
looked with great hopefulness upon these institutions as
being likely to aid the religious and social wellbeing of the
people. The Rev. Newman Hall, Mr. Thomas Hughes,
and the Rev. Mr. Maguire spoke upon resolutions in sup-
port of the Union, and the meeting closed with a vote of
thanks to the chairman,

These circumstances are from a trustworthy source, and
