CHILDREN'S FRIEND SOCIETY.
A SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of the SUB-
SCRIBERS of the above SOCIETY will be held at Exeter
Hall, on THURSDAY, the lath slay of November, to take into
consideration the propriety of DISCONTINUING the BE-
NEVOLENT OPERATIONS of the INSTITUTION.
The Chair will be taken by the Right Hon. Lord NUGENT,
At One o'Clock precisely.
The Committee of Management feel reluctantly compelled to
bring the subject of the dissolution of the Society before the
Subscribers, as, unless further pecuniary aid and public support
be given, such a step is inevitable ; for, notwithstanding the
complete refutation of the unfounded charges against the So-
ciety, which was given at the last Annual Meeting, and which
remains in permanent record in the printed Reports of the offi-
cial inquiries instituted by the Government on the spot, the di-
minution in the annual funds and customary donations towards
the benevolent purposes of the Institution has become so great,
that the means of continuing the Society are wholly insufficient
for the calls upon it.
The Committee make this appeal with great regret, as,
while institutions abound for the Orphan and destitute Chil-
dren of the Soldier and the Sailor, and almost of every differ-
ent class of profession and trade throughout the kingdom, those
more especially calling for protection, because their destitu-
tion has been too often caused by the criminal neglect and
aets of their parents, and who are thus themselves too often
driven to vagrancy and crime, are left wholly without aid, ex-
cept through means such as the Children's Friend Society is
peculiarly fitted to afford.
The Committee trust all who are interested in alleviating the
distress, or diminishing the temptation to crime of society, will
attend; so that, if the dissolution of the Society should unhap-
pily be determined on by the Meeting, some chance may be
given for supplying other plans, so as to supply its place, for
the benefit of the unfortunate class whom it has hitherto been
able to relieve, and would, but for the reasons before alluded
to, have continued efficiently to support, and rescue from the
destruction which otherwise seems too sure to fall upon them.

and illuminating power superior to the finest Sperm Oil, at

particularly suitable for Private Houses, Ships' Binnacles, and
Cabins, Railways, Coaches, &c. Sold by most of the principal

sea, to whom orders may be addressed by post.

JDOUBLE PATENT PERRYIAN FIL-
TER INKSTAND.—PERRY and CO. having
effected considerable improvement in their FILTER INK-
STAND, have now the pleasure to announce that a Second
Patent has been granted to them for such improvement, which
they have united with their First Patent, under the title
of " DOUBLE PATENT PERRYAN FILTER INK-
STAND." The eulogy bestowed on the Patent Filter Ink-
stand by the public Journals, and the preference obtained for
them over the common Inkstands was almost unprecedented-
The present novel and scientific method of supplying Clear Ink
to the Dipping Cup, and returning it into the reservoir, is ex-
ceedingly simple, the action being now performed by merely
lifting up the lid to obtain a supply, and shutting it down to
withdraw it ; in this state it cannot overflow, whatever may be
the change of temperature, and it is protected from dust of
other injury in any place or climate. When the inkstand is
filled, it is always ready for use, and the writer will have a
regular and daily supply of Clear Ink for four or six months.
Sold by James Perry and Co., Patentees and Manufacturers,
37, lied Lion-square, London; also by all Stationers and other
Dealers in such articles.
