SOCIETY FOR THE IMPROVE
MEN I' OF THE LABOURING CLASSES.
The third annual meeting of this society was held
yesterday at the New Model Lodging-house, in George-
street, St. Giles's ; Lord Ashley in the chair, who was
supported by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of
Norwich, Mr. Evans, M.P., the Hon. and Rev. Montagu
Villiers, the Rev. H. Dukenfield, &c. The attendance
was respectable but not numerous.
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that
there were three points to which the society dii ected its
attention at its establishment. The first was the allotment
of land ; the second, the establishment of loan funds; and
the third the improvement of the dwellings of the working
classes. With regard to the two first, he was not able
to say that they had accomplished much as yet, but
wit I regard to the third a good deal had been done. There
had been two lodging-houses opened in Charles. street
and King-street, Drury-lane, end lie expected that the
[wine they were then in would be opened on Monday
next for the reception of the labouring classes. The
Noble Lord, alter pointing out the dangers
which beset the labouring population who
c2.me up to this metropolis to procure
employment, from the crowded and immoral places to
which they were obliged to resort, said that those lodg•
ing-houses were intended to obviate such evils, and he
hoped they would yet become part of their parochial
system. The Noble Lord dwelt at some length on the
great benefits of the institution, and concluded by im-
pressing upon the meeting the duty and the necessity of
supporting this society, calculated, as it was, to pro•
duce such incalculable advantages to the labouring
classes, and to promote the spiritual and temporal wel-
fare of their fellow creatures.
Mr. WOOD, the secretary, read the report, which was
unanimously adopted, and the Bishop of London, the
Bishop of Norwich, Rev. Sir H. Dukenfield, and other
speakers having addressed the meeting, several reso-
lutions to carry out the objects of the society were
agreed to, and the meeting separated.
The house is calculated to accommodate one hundred
inmates, each of whom will have a separate bed, and a
separate apartment well lighted and ventilated. The
charge to each person will be only fourpence per night,
the rate charged at the ordinary lodging-houses, and from
the admirable arrangements made to insure cleanliness
and comfort, we believe Oct the establishment will be
seldom found to want its full complement of inmates.

The never-failing effects of Blair's Gout and Rheu,
matic Pills in curing every description of gout and rheuma-
tism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any
medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief
in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to
madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but re-
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of
time. They are equally speedy d certain in rheumatism,
either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
or face, and indeed for every rheumaiic or gouty affection ; in
fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete
safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have
taken it; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the
kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign
influence. Sold by all medicine veneers. Price 2s. 9d. pep,
box. Observe the name "Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, Lon-
don," on the Government stamp.

deal persons to enjoy general conversation, to hear distinctly at
church, on the bench, at the bar,:and at public assemblies; the un-
pleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears are entirely removed,
and it affords to Individuals affected with this dreadful malady allthe
assistance that possibly could be desired. Also improved hearing
