SOCIETY FOR THE IMPROVE-
MENT OF THE LABOURING CLASSES.
(THIS DAY.)
The third annual meeting of this society was held
to-day 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. Dakenfield, &c. The attendance
was respectable but not numerous.
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that
there were three points to which the society directed 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 bad accomplished much as yet, but
with 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, and he expected that the
house they were then in would be opened on Monday
next for the reception of the labouring classes. The
Noble Lord, after pointing out the dangers
which beset the labouring population who
came 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. Wool), the secretary, read the report, which was
-unanimously adopted, and the Bishop of London, tbs,
Bishop of Norwich, Rev. Sir H. Dukenfield, and Cater
speakers having addressed the meeting, several reso►
