CITY HOSPICE AND SOUP KITCHEN.—A public meet-
ing was convenct, for yesterday, at the London Tavern,
i
adopt measures for carrying out the operations of the n'
stitution, and for more effectually suppressing mendicancy
and destitution throughout the city of London ; but the
Lord Mayor, who had consented to preside, being unable to
attend in consequence of having to preside at the election
of wardmote officers in Candlewick Ward, it was thought
desirable to adjourn the proceedings to a more convenient
time. It appeared from the report drawn up for the °co:
sion, that the average number of beggars at present
applying for relief is 57 daily, whereas formerly the
number was 169. Nine beggars have been apprehencle7
and taken before the magistrates. Seven were sent
to prison, and the oLlTrs were pardoned with the au-
monition. not. to beg again. Twenty-six poor women ore
now receiving the shelter and protection of the hospice ,
they are occupied at shirt-making. The skilled work'
women can earn from 35 to 3s 6d a week, the unskillea
not more than 2s ; the latter are thus employed,' rather
than live in idleness and on entire charity until they
can obtain situations or work suited to their capacity
5
Since the institution was opened in August last, 1,369
beggars have been relieved, and a liberal supply of food h 5
been given to 9,186 of the casual poor, and to 6,241 dic
tressed poor at their own homes, although the kitchen 11l
not yet been opened for the winter operations. The P.%
registry contains the names of 705 applicants for situations
and employment, and 92 have been` for, most of
whom
whom have obtained situations as servants in respeo.3 to
• families. During the last seven weeks 5 414 poor destitu. _
persons have been conducted to the house of God on
.tair:,
Sabbath by members of the committee and officers Of. ea
institution, in which "labour of love" they have recely
the most ready and efficient aid from several of the Yoleo,
men of Mr. Hitchcock's establishment. The seeretarf
an-
pounced the receipt of a donation of 501. from Baron
Rothschild, towards the objects of the institution. , day
