In the great increase made by the metropolis of late years,
The residential and domestic wants of a large class of the
~_orllnitinity have ber n overlooked. Whilst aristocratic clubs
nave multiplied, and model lodging-houses for the working
classes have been erected in different localities, the conve-
nience of the middle classes, in this respect, has been wholly.
I°Motten ; and it is the object of the Council of the Residm
n -
al Clubs Company to supply that desideratum by the erec-
tion of suitable buildings, combining comfort with economy.
onh
this subject the leading article in the "Times" of the
t April observes Clubs :
are one of the most remarkable and beneficial pro-
ducts of modern civil, sation, and their aivant Teri are not
nearly developed. Amon the upper classes they exercise
the same control over the condu t and deportment of men as
general society exercises over the conduct of women. A
Man with black mark upon his character has no chance of
getting into a respectable club; a man who does a dis-
honourable act is expelled from his club. The clubs, with
their ballots, their committees, and their power of expulsion,
keep up the tone of manners in this country. They are
courts of honour as well as large families of
equals. We
should like to ace associations exercising a like influence
among the middle classes and among the workmen. We
should like to see them a teat of character as well as a means
of comfort to the humble, as they are to the wealthy."
'the object of the Residential Clubs Company is to provide
bachelors of limited income with gentlemanlike abodes, in
the metronolis and suburbs, embracing most of the advan-
tages of the principal club-houses, thus combining style,
comfort, society, and amusements with economy. At present,
the cheerl ssness of hired lodgings, and the want of society,
to ) often induce the desire to seek amusement at question-
able places of public resort.

MODE Or OPERATION.
It is
groundpropead to purchase or take upon leases sufficient
in )
..ondon and the suburbs, easy of access by rail and
1.43;,td• thereupon to erect commodious and substantial
•y_ ifio`,Neach building to contain a sufficient number of chem.
ne.ra (all having fire-places), club, dining, reception, and read-
ing rooms,
ekitchen B,lDaths, and other conveniences ; the whole
letely and appropriately furnished, including
pl!t_te, linnnenin,Pand all requisites for domestic use.
The Suburban Residential Clubs will be surrounded by
gardens, cricket and archery
of domestic servants will b provided,
groulds,
&c. A sufficient staff
vary
suitably attired.
The rent of the Chambers will from 30 to 50 guineas
per annum.
A fixed moderato tariff will be published, and a table
d'h6te served at separate hours, thus will the members have
entire control over their daily expenditure.
The reading room will be supplied with writing materials
and copies of the principal London journals, reviews, and
Other periodicals.
A laundry will t e established upon an economical footing,
and thus enable the members to have their waahin.g performed
at a lower rate than they otherwise could do.
The Council will be invested with power to make and
publish bye-laws for the regulation and good order of the
eatablishment.
The advantages to be derived from the operations of the
Company are security against imposition, facility and cer-
tainty in the administration of a small income, the indepen-
dence of a home in an establishment of high order and
character, amusements hitherto attainable only by the
wealthy, nd a safe and profitable investment for capital, on
which, from caretul estimates, a net profit of from 12 to 15
per cent. may be confidently anticipated.
There will be an entrance fee of two guineas, and an annual
subscription of two guineas.
From registered proprietors of not less than 10 shares, who
may desire to reside at she Clubs, and who shall be duly
elected, no entrance fee will be requ.red. They will also have
the preference in the selection of any rooms which may be
vacant.
It is the intention of' the Council to commence operations
by the erection and opening of one suburban building with
as little delay as p. ssible. Two sites have already been pro-
posed contiguous to the Crystal Palace, and within five
