TILE ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The great attrg
Lion of this theatre during the past week has been Mrs. S. '
Hall's new drama, The French Refugee, which has attract
crowded houses every night. It is an elegant and exege
ingly interesting little piece; and its principal character,
old French emigrant nobleman, is performed by Barnett WI
the same truth and nature which rendered his Monsieur Jaqt
so great a favourite with the public. Miss Allison and M
J. Smith also appear in it to great advantage.
NEW POOR LAWS.—Yesterday a meeting Iv'
held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to petition for the r
peal of the New Poor Law Amendment Act. The meetii
was called for twelve o'clock, but it was nearly a quarter pi
one before the Earl of Stanhope, who was to preside, enter
the great room, which was not half filled during any porti
of the day. Amongst those who appeared upon the platfoi
were Sir S. Whalley, M. P., Mr. D. W. Harvey, M.P., /0
Wade, &c. Upon the motion of Mr. Murphy, the chair vr
taken by the Earl of Stanhope, who in a long and labour
address denounced the New Poor Law Amendment Act as
most iniquitous and oppressive measure—violating as it d
every principle of humanity by separating wife from husban
and child from parent. Mr. Murphy read a series of resol
tions deprecatory of the Poor Law Amendment Act, inaggio'
as it gave nnconstitutional powers to the Commissioners-
deprived the rate-payers of the power of controlling the rat'
which they paid—that it punished poverty as if it vier°
crime—that it had a tendency to lower the wages of labour'
and that it endangered the peace and security of property
Mr. Saul, of Alderagate parish, Mr. Gough, of Shoreditc
parish, spoke in favour of the resolutions, and denounced tb
illegal injustice of the Poor Law Amendment Act. Sir 'e
Whalley expressed a hope that Parliament would institute
full inquiry into the operation of the Act in question.
Bell opposed the Act, and several Deputies from different pa
rishes having addressed the meeting the resolutions were agree
to. Thanks having been given to the Chairman the meeting
separated.
