British Grief
and Foreign Philanthropic Society, for the permanent
art_er of the labouring classes, was held at Freemasons' Hall,
~, 'lt Queen-street. The attendance though not very crowded,
as highlyial respectable. Several ladies graced the Meeting
their presence
At on•
Willi e o'clock the Earl of Blesinton, Lord Torring•ton, Sir
William de Crespigny, Mr. Coke of Norfolk, Mr. William
T. I Lethbridge,
M.P. Mr. Maxwell, M.P. Mr. Owen of Lanark, Sir
tra.',lbridge, and several other gentlemen entered the room.
oltrtrirwroN was called to the Chair.
!!e Lad of BLESINTON opened the business of the day, by
tatinf;haed, that as one of the Members of the Committee, the duty
evolved upon him of reading the Report; which after some
heto
observationsestated the obligations which the Committee

Ale al
tioo AXIvE en, M.P. for Renfrewshire, seconded this mo-
th and avowed himself to be own of those who thought that
ti:ecial..amities of vice-and misery ich befel such large por-
the",„uf,the community, might •in a'great degreebe Obviated, by
ing I'llueation of it better system of management to the exist-
condition of society. The Hon. Member pronounced a
etaogium upon the manner in which the Lanark. eats-
tai Merit was now conducted, and the beneficial condition of
a,etY which had arisen arqund it. lie recommended the more
'ae4tarediffusion of such an example to the country at large, to
the Le the mo:al tone of feeling of the people, and to obliterate
ai -'4l-ns, of pauperism. • -
11ttn`1731. de CRESPIGNY also bore the highest testimony to
• ciaewen, and the establishment of New Lanark, which he,
leaa: had had ihe gratification of visiting, and which
itr „nn a convert to the principles upon which its benevolent
111'1.'',.;6tot had acted. As to the allusions sometimes made to
that "wen on the score of religion, all he could say, was this,
ter„.„ New Lanark all had their Bibles, and .he never saw
ire.,:a.eal or fervent devotion than at the different places
.of
ohi,:"lP frequented by these people. There may be partial
rearions to Mr. Owen's details; but why not select what was
kY and avowedly good, and thus gradually get rid• of the

%jet ; LETHBRIDGE said, that he had fully consider ed the pltan
a aari' `,,mciety ; and although he was aware it had to tencoan er
e•Y of opposing circumstances before it could expect to re-
atterogeneral adoption, still he thought experience justified the
'with Pt to give it a wider diffusion. 'I o compare small thi.igs
now Mat, he remembered when the proposers of • gas lights::
toes % universally adOpted, were treated as visionary specula:.
Fr4:44 he had no doubt the result of. the present plan would
tegai:l,..,ually_ illustrative of the principles. upon which it was
ttltaq.`Q. He lamented deeply the existing state of agr!cul-
affecee,'4!lesa, and the very
;sandevere pressure which exclusively
a"'"4, the landed interest
gded, both in its theory and practice; of a plan which had a
the appointment
to mitigate such an evil. He concluded by moving
ipointment of provisional officers to this Society.
• PrIICKARD seconded this motion, and defended Mr.
tio from any imputation of indifference to religious inatruc-
an ha the application of his principles. On the contrary, all
alit. Owen contended for was general toleration, and that cacti
said pursue his own particular religious faith without in-
-'er
teak. ence--(Applause)—and so it was practised at New La-
ial!lr• OWE N. came. forward, and was received with great ap-
4Se• After urging the necessity of vigorous measures to re-
ti.,t the general distress, the worthy gentleman then enforced
141111Pertor efficacy of his plan of working by communities, its
eta% certain security of supply, at a cheaper rate, and a more
l?l°ltical distribution of labour. It had been said, that his
ico?wotdd lower the state of society., and work evil rather than

areu-eY of that system which went to crush the industry of
aul2,!;ns at home, and to punish them for attempting to earn a
raeetenoe abroad; and pointed out how his plan would re-
a Y the evil and abolish pauperism. He then proposed the
143.mittttnent of Treasurers.
t• TooKs proposed a vote of thanks to Mr.-Owen, which
111a4"ecoacied by Mr. Crooke, and acknowledged by the gentle-

Co The first anniversary of the day on which a
t, ittee of The House of Commons decided the right of elec.
44; ',or the borough of Petersfield, and restored the legitimate
the-Pise to the freeholders, occurred last Wednesday, when
tiorlitr:oends of NATHANIEL ATCHESON, Esq. one of the peti-
'4l44 candidates (whose other engagements unfortunately pre-
vide(' nu meeting them), sat down to an excellent dinner pro-
Ai .h for the occasion, at the Red Lion Inn, by Mr. Holdaway.
thj:/ loyal and appropriate toasts were gifen, among which
sias‘ ealth of Mr. ATCHESON was drank with great enthu-
havl.ll • The gentlemen of the Petersfield Harmonic Society
~e„-zig been so kind as to lend their assistance, many excellent
that and songs were sung in a manner much to the credit of
tom respectable body. The Chairman introduced the several
.Stc. with appropriate observations, and several persons.
oujiessed the meeting, among whom none was more conspicu.
• tan 0r manliness of sentiment than CHARLES GREETHAM,
the' who commented at some length on the late decision, and
Profe°,.n.sequences of it—giving it as his decided opinion, as a
and "slonal man, that the decision was final to all intents
-the PLIrPos:-.1, and that it could never be shaken whilst
pritish Parliament existed as a Legislative Body.—
,coi‘s escribed the result in very forcible terms and glowing
nerl, hoping that neither the present or any succeeding ge-
-tleeisPn would neglect to celebrate a day so memorable, and a
Ithnfetn so important, not only to the Borough, but to the
,lull kingdom—a decision brought about by the professional
es, alai perseverance of Mr. ATCHESON, aided by the firm-
!tiend°.' ins faithful adherents ; and he concluded by recom-
JOin unanimity, and desiring that every one present would
sities-itn him in endeavouring to bury in oblivion all animo-
which might have arisen between neighbours, in conse-
-04t1":F of the late contested.elections. He was greeted through-
a/N(l4th the warmest expressions of applause, and sat down
a late much efieering. The company separated reluctantly at
and e The utmost harmony and good humour prevailed;
of thisverY one present appeared highly gratified.—ln the course

much inerriment.—( Hampshire Chronicle.)
