Lord Robert Grosvenor and Mr. Spooner attended
yesterday at the Home Office, with Sir George Grey,
to present a memorial to the Queen from the Women of
England, signed by 100,000, praying that the Bill for
preventing trading in seduction may pass into a law.
The following is a copy of the petition :
" To the Queen's most Excellent Majesty,
" We, the undersigned, women of Great Britain and
Ireland, placed by Divine Providence under the sway of
the British sceptre, which God has committed to your
Majesty's hands, most humbly beg leave to make known
to our beloved Sovereign the heavy and cruel grievance
that oppresses a large portion of the female population of
the realm.
" A system exists by which, not only are undue faci-
lities and temptations held out to the immoral, the giddy,
and the poor, to enter upon a life of infamy, degradation
and ruin, but unwary young females and mere children
are frequently entrapped, and sold into the hands of
profligate libertines.
" Agents are sent into the towns and villages of the
United Kinedom, whose ostensible object is to engage
young girls for domestic service or other female employ-
ments, but whose real design is to degrade and ruin
them.
"Female agents are also employed in London and
many of our large towns to watch the public convey-
ances, and decoy the simple and inexperienced into
houses of moral pollution and crime, by offers of advice,
or temporary protection.
" By such and other means, the entrapping of inno-
cent young women is reduced to a regular trade, the
existence of which is, in the highest degree, discreditable
to the nation.
" Despite the efforts of right-minded men and of
benevolent institutions, to suppress, by means of the
existing laws, this vile trade of female innocence, thou-
sands of the most helpless of your Majesty's subjects are
annually destroyed both in body and soul.
" We, therefore, appeal to your Majesty, beseeching
you to extend the shield of your Royal influence and
protection around the daughters of the poor, by pro-
moting such vigorous laws as the wisdom of your Ma-
jesty's Consellors may see good to devise, and thereby
deliver your Majesty's fair realm from a system of pro-
fligacy so offensive to Almighty God, so injurious to our
national virtue, and so fatal to the personal, social,
temporal, and spiritual well-being of the women of Eng-
land.
" And we, your Majesty's loyal subjects, will ever
gratefully remember and appreciate the deliverance
wrought out for our country-women, through the in-
strumentality of our beloved Queen."

A deputation relative to the Clerkenwell improve-
ments, consisting of Messrs. Galloway, Walker, Lamp-
lough, Anderton, and Wallat, had an interview with
Viscount Morpeth on Saturday at the office of the Woods
and Forests.
