CHRISTMAS GIFTS TO TIIE POOR IN THE
CitY•—YestErday, according to the annual custom, 4001
wag distributed by toe Bank of England Directors to the
poor, at tt quest money" of the following four parishes,
I,,r'rnelY! St. AliChaers, Cornhill ; St. Bartholomew's,
par,holomew-lane; St. Mildred's, Poultry ; and St. Mar-
garel'i, Lothbury,. It is not, we believe, generally known
that the Bank of England is in the above-named 'four pa-
rish". The poor in these paiishes are few, and, from
the alterations in the Poor laws, in a few years, it will be
!cry dillicult to find objects to bestow the gifts that have
been left by
