LAW OF SETTLEMENT.—In the year ending at Lady-
day, 1853, no less than 10,032 persons were removed
from various parishes in England and Wales, under or-
ders of removal obtained by the Poor-law authorities, on
the ground that their settlement was elsewhere. The
expense of the orders and removal, without including the
cost of relief before removal, was 13,646/. There were,
besides, 383 orders made for the removal of Scotch
paupers, and 4,823 for the removal of Irish. It does not
appear how many persons were included in these orders.
But these figures do not show the whole number of the
English removals, for parishes with a population of about
2,400,000 (nearly a seventh of the kingdom) have omitted
to make returns.

mittee of the Sailors' Homes Institution was held at the

stated that he had visited the Sailors' Home at Ports-
mouth, a few days prior to this meeting, and was in-
formed that 1268 men had been lodged there the previous

reported his visit to Sheerness, where he had taken a
house for a Home, having given directions for its being
at once properly fitted up for the reception of seamen.
