CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT,
OLD COURT.

John Franklin, 25, William Wilkinson, 26, and John
Walker, 40, who were committed on Thursday, the two
former of stealing a quantity of cloth, the property of
Thomas Gorden, draper, in the Blackfriars-road, and
the latter for feloniously reciving the same knowing it
to have been stolen, were placed at the bar to receive
sentence.

The evidence adduced in support of the charge showed
clearly that the prisoners Wilkinson and Franklin were
adepts in the commission of felony, and that the other
prisoner was a wholesale receiver of stolen goods. The
prcceedings had been watched by Mount, Gray, and
Whall, three of the metropolitan police belonging to the
C division, and they appeared to have acted with great
zeal, discretion, and intelligence in the proceedings they
adopted to detect the guilty parties.
Mr. CLARK E, who, with Mr. BODKIN, conducted the
prosecution on behalf of the Treasury, applied to the
Court to exercise the power it possessed of ordering a
reward to the constables, who appeared to have con-
ducted themselves in a very meritorious manner.
Mr. Justice ERLE said he considered the prosecution a
very important one, and that the exertions of the police
had brought to justice a person who could not be con-
sidered in any other light than a wholesale author of
crime, and that it was a great public advantage to check
the course of such a person. He, therefore, should
direct that the usual reward given in such cases should
be awarded to the officers concerned in the case ; and
with regard to the prisoners, the sentence upon Frank-
lin and Wilkinson was, that they be transported for
seven years, and Walker for fourteen years.
John Lacy, 44, sailor, was indicted for cutting and
wounding Francis Townsend, a police constable, with
intent to do him grievous bodily harm.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of a common
assault, and he was sentenced to nine months imprison-
ment and hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A deputation from the Royal Free Hospital, consist-
ing of the Rev. Edward Rice, D.D., (chairman of the
Weekly Board,) Mr. John Watson, and other governors
of the charity, waited upon the Lord Mayor to inform
his Lordship that, in deference to the opinion so strongly
expressed by his Lordship, and which the Committee
found also existing in the minds of many other influen-
tial and benevolent friends of the institution, that the
system of admitting into the hospital any casual poor,
who had previously been in any of the unions or poor-
houses of the metropolis, was decidedly objectionable,
and had a bad tendency, the Committee of Management
had, at their last meeting resolved, " that in future
no poor or diseased persons who had received shelter in
any of the unions should be admitted, but that such par-
ties should be sent back to the union or workhouse from
whence they came."
The LORD MAYOR said he considered the practice of
sending the poor from unions or workhouses to the hos-
pital as wholly incapable of being vindicated, inasmuch
as it went to relieve those who ought to be parochially
relieved, and to turn the benefits of the institution away
from its intended channel—the relief of the destitute
sick. There was no principle to which he objected more
strongly.
The deputation stated, that the amount of misery the
Free Hospital relieved was incalculable. Objects who
were, or who seemed to be, below the notice of other
hospitals, were received there and were attended at all
hours and under all circumstances.
The Loan MAYOR said he had never known that ob-
jects bad been rejected at the other hospitals.
Dr. Rice said, that at all hours of the night, and from
the very lowest depths of misery and disease, poor crea-
tures were sent into the hospital which the deputation
represented, and to their cases the utmost attention was
paid. So frightful was the extent of wretchedness wit-
nessed, that it was not uncommon to see unfortunate
persons who were brought into the hospital in the last
stage of typhus expire three or four hours after they
were received. Into other hospitals typhus patients were
not admitted in consequence of the mischiefs apprehended
from contagion.
The Loan MAYOR said, if unions or workhouses sent
such patients to the hospital, the officer ought to be held
responsible, and to be punished. The city of London
could, if any place had the power, afford to have a
proper place for the reception of its paupers in every
condition, and it was decidedly wrong to admit patients
sent by its unions to an hospital instituted for the service
of very different claimants.
The deputation assured the Lord Mayor that the offi-
cers of the institution had been exposed to very strong
censure from a powerful portion of the press in conse-
quence of their inability to receive two poor girls, who
had been sent thither in a deplorable condition, but
whom it was impossible to receive on account of the im-
mensely crowded state of the wards. The managers had
been traduced by the Coroner, who, however, subse-
quently retracted to a certain extent his condemnation.
A serious injury had been inflicted upon the hospital
but for the existence of which hundreds and thousands
would have perished of disease.
The LORD MAYOR—What I condemn is the fact, that
you have been receiving from the City unions persons
who had claims upon these unions, and who ought to
have been rejected at your hospital. I object to the idea
of the city of London having no place to send their
casual poor to but that house at Peckham, to which they
are sent down at four or five o'clock in the evening, and
from which they are sent away next morning—a dis-
graceful system, to which they are daily subjected.
Doctor Rice—These are the people who apply to us.
Another of the deputation said that there were two
cases lately sent from the poorhouse at Westminster to
the Free Hospital, and in consequence of the objection
made by the Lord Mayor, they had been refused ad-
mission.
The LORD MAYOR—Why I belonged to that board my-
self fur many years, and I never had reason to suppose
the authorities would send those whom they ought to
relieve themselves to the Free Hospital. I shall have a
special court called to investigate the cases.
One of the deputation—What can we do when such
painful objects present themselves to us ? They are
daily corning to us after having been refused admission
to other hospitals.
Doctor Rice—Your Lordship has no notion of the vast
extent of good effected by the institution. Before I
knew anything about it a gentleman came to me to ask
me to preach for the charity. I made particular inquiry
into the nature and proceedings of the charity, and I
did all I could to advocate the cause. I believe that but
for it thousands of our miserable fellow-creatures would
die in the streets. It is the anxious wish of the ma-
nager that your Lordship should investigate into the
particulars of the charity, and we are convinced that
when you do you will see strong grounds fur not with-
holding the support which has hitherto been of such
utility to it.
The LORD MAYOR said he should take an early op-
portunity, after the close of his year of office, to investi-
gate the charity. In the meantime he felt satisfaction at
the resolution to which the managers had come, and
which was calculated to prevent the abuse of a charity
by confining it to proper objects.
BOW-STREET.
The case of Mrs. 11. H. Lomax, whose husband had
been summoned by the parish-officers to show cause
why he had refused to maintain his wife and child, was
resumed before Mr. Henry.
It will be remembered that the case had been ad-
journed from Saturday last to admit of inquiry being
made as to the defendant's state of mind, and to enable
Mr. James Lomax, the defendant's brother, to substan-
tiate his plea that his sister-in-law was an adultress,
and had, therefore, no claim upon her husband, the
evidence to this point submitted- by him on the last
occasion having been rejected by the magistrate as
worthless.
Mr. James Lomax, addressing the magistrate, said—
Since the parties were last before the Court he had
thought it better, to spare the family any further annoy-
ance, to advise his brother, the defendant, to allow his
wife, for the support of herself and child, the sum of ss.
out of the allowance made to the husband, which sum he
(Mr. James Lomax) had undertaken to pay monthly
into the bands of Mr. Boswood, the relieving officer.
Mr. Boswood—Mr. James Lomax waited on me, your
worship, on Tuesday, and expressed his wish to settle the
case if possible, intimatingt hat he would allow ss. per week
to be deducted front the husband's allowance for her sup-
port. I consequently submitted this proposal to Mrs.
Lomax, who said it would be impossible to sustain her-
self and child during the winter months with less than
7s. 6d. per week. I then waited on Mr. James Loma:,
at his residence, and he stated that he would withdraw
all imputations upon her character, and admit her to be
a respectable woman, if she would consent to his pro-
posed arrangement.
Mr. HENRY (to Mrs Lomax)—Have you heard any
thing further respecting' your claims since you were las
here ?

Mrs. Lomax—Yes, Sir. Yesterday two vulgar-look-
ing persons inquired for me at my apartments, and on
being admitted, asked me, in the most uncouth manner,
if I would consent to take ss. per week or not? I asked
whom they represented, and they at first said " General
Lomax," then " Mr. James Lomax," and, lastly, they
stated that they bad been sent from the Strand Union.
One of them was very tipsy, and they both behaved in
an insolent manner. I told them that their appearance
was very much against them, and I declined to give them
any answer, remarking that the matter was now in the
hands of the parochial authorities. In addition to this,
I have been subject to every possible annoyance. I have
been rudely stopped and insulted in the street, especially
by one person, who met me returning from my mother's,
in Regent-street, on Sunday evening last. Ido not know
any of the parties by name, but should recognise them if
I saw them again.
Mr. llENav—lf you can ascertain the name or address
of any of them, I shall be very happy to
summons, to bring them here.
Mrs. Lomax said, that one person told her that he
heard Mr. James Lomax say that be had followed her
into a house of ill-fame. grant you a
Mr. James Lomax denied having ever said anything
of the kind, and declared that h e was not a party in
any way to the annoyances which Mrs. Lomax had ex-
perienced ; although, of course, he was not responsible
for anything his brother (the defendant)
might have dune.
Mr. llENnv—As yet there has appeared no founda-
tion whatever, in
the proceedings before me, for the
charges made against her character. Indeed, I under-
stand from Mr. lioswood that the defendant's attorney
has withdrawn every imputation of the kind, and admits
her to be a respectable woman.
Mr. James Lomax—Oh, I know nothing about her
myself. I am willing to make my brother give her up
five shillings per week; but I did not come here to de-
fend him.

sAid
Mr. HENRY—I don't know whother you came here to
defend him or riot. but )
you ~ppeatcd here as his
attorney.
Mr. J. Lomax—No, Sir ; I said I appeared to watch
the case for the family.
Mr. Liznx—But I told you distinctly that you bad

no locus standi in that capacity, and must not take part
in the proceedings; and you then said that you appeared
as his attorney. Moreover, you stated that you could
prove the charge of adultery against Mrs. Lomax, and
you called two witnesses with that pretence, who failed
to prove anything like it.
Mr. J. Lomax—Why, I met a mass in the street to-
day who said he could prove the fact.
Mr. HENRY—YOU ought to know, Mr. Lomax, that
this is not the way to impeach a woman's character. It
is not right to insist upon so serious a charge from what
some one has been merely heard to say.
Mr. J. Lomax—l know nothing about it. I never in
my life imputed anything against her ; and as for the
General, he has sever seen her but once in his life. I'll
do all I can to make my brother advance her ss. per
week. My brother has only an allowance of 1L per
week, and I think I have acted with the greatest
liberality in making him allow her ss. out of it.
Mrs. Lomax said her husband was allowed 255. per
week during the winter, and it was proved ,by the
woman at whose place he was living that his board and
lodging only cost 13s. 6d. per week. She handed a letter
to his Worship showing that her former allowance was
10s. per week.
Mr. J. Lomax said that the allowance had been re-
duced to 11., and that was all that would in future be
paid. He thought it would be at once seen that, after
paying )3s. 6d. out of it for his living, &c., and ss. to his
wife, he would require at least the remainder for pens,
ink, postage, and gloves, and other little articles of that
kind. He begged to show the Court a letter, received
from Mrs. Lomax some time back, in which she re-
quested him " not to let her husband know her address,
as his violence would be the death of her." This, he
submitted, was a clear proof that she left him, and not
he her.

Mrs. Lomax said, this was when her husband's state
of mind compelled her to take shelter at her father's.
Mr. HENRY remarked, that it was quite evident that
" fear" was the cause of her leaving him. He thought
Mrs. Lomax was very much to be pitied, but her case
was not free from difficulty. In the first place, there
was a doubt as to her husband's being a sane man,
which prevented his being sent to prison as a culprit.
It also appeared that he had no means of living beyond
that which his father allowed him, and which might be
at any time stopped. But, on the other hand, the pa-
rish might proceed, under an old statute, against Gene-
ral Lomax for the support of his grandchild. He ad-
mitted that the sum of ss. was but a very trifling al-
lowance. His Worship inquired if the General was
present
Mr. Boswood—No, Sir ; I told him that his attend-
ance was unnecessary.
Mr. HENRY—Don't you think he would allow her 7s.
6d. per week. ?
Mr. J. Lomax—No ;I am sure he will not. He has
been already so much vexed at having his name dragged
before the public in this way by his son's wife, that I
am confident he will do no more for her.. Indeed, it has
been a great trial for a man of his age;isaud he is quite
ill ; and I myself have been extremely -annoyed at this
woman's going about and representing herself as Mrs.
Lomax, knowing that my own lady is the only Mrs. Lo-
max recognised by the family.
Mr. HENRY—She represented herself here as Mrs.
Henry Lomax, and surely her marriage has given her
that right. lam quite prepared to send the husband to
prison, if it can be proved that he is a sane man.
Mrs. Lomax did not wish this course to be taken.
She must try to make up a sufficiency for herself and
child.

Mr. Boswood—lt appeared to me, your worship, when
in conversation with the General the other evening, that
he was quite willing to pay the 1/. per week int,) my
hands, leaving me to divide it between the parties in the
fairest manner for both.

Mr. HENRY—WeII, I think that is most desirable, and
I should suggest—
Mr. J. Lomax—No, I am sure the General will not do
that.

Mr. HENRY—I must beg you, Sir, not to interfere at
this stage of the proceedings. Pray sit down. I am
glad to hear of this proposal, and am satisfied that it is
the fairest for the wife; for then you will be enabled to
pay her half the amount, or such sum as may be deemed
satisfactory. If the General will give the parish officers
liberty to divide the sum between the parties at their
discretion, there will be no occasion to proceed further.

Mr. Boswood—l think Mr. J. Lomax will bear me
out in the accuracy of this statement respecting General
Lomax.

Mr. HENRY—There is no occasion whatever for Mr.
James Lomax to interfere, or be consulted about the
matter. I will adjourn the summons until you have seen
the General himself, and you can take a summons re-
quiring his presence here, if necessary. I shall also re-
quire the defendant to be in attendance on the next
occasion.

The case was then further adjourned to Saturday, to
await the result of an application to General Lomax.

T INDIA AND CHINA ASSO-
CIATION.

The following letter has been furnished by the East
India and China Association:—
" 13, Austin-friar; London, Oct. 28.
" Sir,—l beg leave to acquaint you, for the informa-
tion of the London, East India, and China Association,
that I have received advices from Mr. Brooke, dated the
31st of August last, from which it appears that Borneo
affairs are at length progressing satisfactorily. Sub-
sequently to the demonstration recently made by
Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrare at Borneo Proper,
Mr. Brooke very prudently resolved not to reject
any proper overtures from the Sultan; the latter (having
returned to the city of Bruri) has consequently ad
dressed a very penitential letter to her Majesty, craving
pardon and oblivion of the past, and containing
many assurances of future good behaviour. The Sultan
has also ratified all his former engagements, so that on
Sir Thomas Cochrane's taking possession of Labuan, in
conformity with the instructions forwarded to him by
direction of Lord Palmerston, per overland mail of July
last, her Majesty's Government have now no obstacle
whatever to render any further delay in forming a British
settlement on that important island requisite.
" You will be gratified to learn thas the survivors of
the Rajah Muda Hassim's family are located at Sarawak,
under Mr. Brooke's protection.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,

"HENRY WISE, Agent for James Brooke, Esq
"To John Stikeman, Esq., Secretary of the London,
East India, and China Association."

THE INUNDATIONS IN FRANCE.—The administra-
tors of the Orleans and Bordeaux railroad have sent to
,he Paris journals an account of the injury occa.ioned
;o the road by the inundation of thG Loire. The moment
he destruction of the bridge of Vierzon became known,
two of the directors, Baron Paul de Richemont and M.
Barry, repaired to Tours, accompanied by Mr. Wood-
house, the chief engineer of the line. The communica-
tion was still open ; but between Blois and Tours the
river threatened to burst through its embankments, and,
if that misfortune did not occur at Chousy and Ouzain,
it was owing to the strenuous exertions of the inhabit-
ants, who, aided by the persons employed on the rail
road, courageously laboured to strengthen them against
the ravages of the inundation. Amboise is the place
which suffered most. At ten o'clock, A.M., on the
22d, the small river Cisse, which emptieth itself into
the Loire below Vouvray, had already inundated
the country between Vouvray and Amboise,
and covered a portion of the line. A few
hours afterwards, the Loire forced a passage
through the embankment on a distance of 200 yards,
rushed with fury against the road which runs under-
neat4„ destroyed the station-house of Amboise, and
formed a lake of about 10 kilometres in extent. The
road was there completely torn up ; the buildings and
turning platforms were rendered unfit for use ; and the
waggons carried to a great distance by the floods. The
magnificent viaduct of Mont Louis, however, sustained
no injury, and terminus at Tours, and the materiel con-
tained in the magazines of the company, escaped without
any damage. The administration had adopted measures
to re-establish the communications as speedily as pos-
sible. They had not been interrupted between Orleans,
Blois, and Ouzain. From the 30th of October a regular
service was to be organised as far as Limeray, whence
steam-boats are to convey passengers and goods to Mont
Louis, and the rest of the journey to Tours will be per-
formed by railroad. The administration expects to be
able to repair the damage without being obliged to entail
any new burden on the shareholders, the more so as it
has a right to expect that the Government will consider
itself bound to supply the funds for that object, in pre-
sence of so great a public calamity.
TDB GLASGOW CORN TRADE.--(From Messrs.
Brown's Circular.)—GLAElGOW, OCT. 28.--Since our last
the arrivals coastwise consisted of about 2,500 quarters
of wheat, 3,600 quarters of barley, 360 quarters of oats,
600 quarters of beans and peat, and 1,300 sacks of flour.
Supplies from Ireland have rather increased, viz., about
2,000 barrels of wheat, 900 barrels of barley, 9,000 bar-
rels of oats, 600 barrels of beans, and 1,300 sacks of
flour ; several cargoes, overdue, being delayed by the
late gales. About 3,500 quarters of wheat, 900 quarters
of beans and peas, and 6,000 of flour, have arrived from
abroad. Wheat and flour have not varied in value ;
both a fair sale at full rates. Barley has to be written
Is. to 2s. dearer per 3201 b., the supplying falling short
of the demand. Oats and oatmeal have been more in-
quived after, at a rise of Is. to 2s. per boll or load re-
spectively. Beans and peas realised the extreme rates.
Indian corn on passage in great request for Ireland ;
our market is bare of stock. At this day's market there
was a slender attendance. Wheat and flour were held
firmly, but the trade was not brisk ; barely in demand.
The advance in price for oats and oatmeal tended to
check business. Beans and peas unaltered.

DEATH OF THE REV. DR. TATTERSHALL.—We
regret to state that the Rev. Thomas Tattershal,
the highly-respected and talented minister of St. Augus-
tine's Church, Everton, departed this life yesterday
morning, after a severe illness of only four day. The
Rev. Gentleman, much against the advice of his physi-
cian, preached, as announced, a sermon on Sunday morn
ing last, in aid of the funds of the school connected with
the church of which he was the minister. He was then
suffering very much, and upon returning home was found
to be labouring under a severe attack of inflammation of
the kidneys. He retired to bed, and never rose from it
again. Eminent as a scholar and divine, the deceased
had also the good fortune to be eminently distinguished
for his personal piety and private worth.—Liverpool
Mercury, Oct. 30.
THE COAL TRADE.—The coal freights to London
were 9s. to 9s. 6d. per ton yesterday, on Newcastle
quay—an advance of nearly 50 per cent. above the rates
given two months ago. The price of steam coal has been
advanced 3d. a ton; and the best house coal (to specula-
tors for the London market) is also advanced 6d. a ton
—but to the coasting markets little or no advance on
house coal has been made.—Gatcshead Observer.
TAIT'S MAGAZINE.—We hear that this popular
periodical has now become the property of those enter-
prising booksellers, Messrs. A. and C. Black, the original
proprietor, Mr. Tait, being about to retire foga boisien.

DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S

SOCIETY.

On Thursday, at half-past two o'clock, the third an-
nual meeting of the Distressed Needlewomen's Society
was held in Willis's rooms, King-street, St. James's,
when the chair was taken by Mr. Alderman Farebro-
ther, president of the society. On the platform, right
and left of the president, were—Lori Dudley Stuart,
Mr. L. J. Hansard, Mr. E. Brewster, Mr. R. L. Swift,
Mr. More, Mr. Gladweil, Mr. Roper, the Secretary of
the society, &c. The body of the meeting, which was
highly respectable, was chiefly composed of ladies.
The proceedings commenced by the Secretary (Mr.
Roper) reading the report of the directors, from which
the following are extracts :
" The friends of the institution are aware that the cir-
cumstance which first led to the formation of this society
was the truly distressed state of the poor needlewomen,
who were toiling for fourteen or fifteen hours daily ;
and even then, from the small wages. paid to them,
earning only about 4d. or 6d. per day, not sufficient
to pay more than the rent of their miseraqle dwelling
rooms, and many of them with large families almost
in a state of starvation ; which frequently led them to
the pawning of the goods intrusted to them, to obtain
bread for their children. Since the establishment of
this society, and by great exertion and meetings with
many of the guardians of the workhouses and unions,
they havereased to allow in some instances any needle-
work to be taken in ; but, it is believed (in every case
where allowed) full prices are now charged ; thus at
once serving the poor sempstresses, and preventing the
increase of the number of those who would have been
compelled to eeek refuge for themselves and children in
the union, instead of, as they wished, by honest indus-
try to support their own families.
" The Ladies' Committee have in very few instances
afforded relief by giving money, and then only under
circumstances of 'deep distress arising from sickness ;
but the greatest benefits have been known to arise from
the supporters of the charity giving to the poor (in the
winter season especially) articles of clothing furnished
by the society ; and the Ladies' Committee have com-
pletely clothed some young women, so as to enable them
to go into respectable service, and thus save them from
the temptation which poverty frequently compells these
poor girls to fall into."
The report further contained an account-of the receipts
and expenditure for the past year, from which it ap-
peared that by donations and subscriptions a sum of
520,. 19s. Bd. had been raised, which, added to a balance
from the previous year's accounts of 39/. 6s. 5d., made a
total of 560/. 6s. ld. There is at present a balance in
the banker's hands of 441. 19s. Bd., from which it appears
that the sum expended during the year has amounted to
515 L 6s. sd.
After reading the report.
The SECRETARY stated, that in addition to this so-
ciety there existed one for giving assistanhe to dress.
makers and milliners, but it ought to be known that the
two societies were wholly distinct, though they had kin-
dreAhjects in view, and were mutual in their good
wghei towards each other. He might state, in addition,
that the distress of the needlewomen was formerly very
much caused by the mistake committed by the unions
and workhouses employing poor women in needlework,
and that at a miserable rate of payment. He had, last
year, seen from 50 to 60 women at this kind of work-in
one small room of a workhouse ; and one of them (a
widow) told him that her husband had once been in a
a respectable susiness in the parish, while she, by order
of his former associates, was now making shirts at o far-
thing each. The amount paid in that workhouse for
needle work was 2001. for one year, whereas by paing
only is. a day it should have been 1,0001.
The CHAIRMAN, before any resolution with reference
to the report was laid before the meeting, begged to ex-
press his regret at the loss which the institution had
sustained from the retirement of Lord Ashley from its
management; but at the same time he believed the noble
lord continund to have the best wishes for its success,
seeing it was only within these two or three days that
Lady Ashley had sent a donation to its funds; and he
believed the reason of his Lordship's retirement was,
that he did not wish to be chairman of two societies of a
similar kind at the same time.

The CHAIRMAN then pointed out the advantages
, which such a society conferred, by enabling mothers
to work at home, and thus superintend the training
and comforts of their children ; but it also was
the means of giving effecsual assistance to many
who might otherwise sink beneath misfortune.
Numerous cases of this kind could be referred
to, though it would evidently be improper to give publi-
city to the names of the parties most deeply interested.
One case which had come to his knowledge he would
simply state :--A gentleman had informed him of two
ladies who lived iu a cold back room, without fire, with-
out candle, and almost without food. Now, these ladies
he had himself sen in the county of Kent entering the
carriage of their father. Their father and mother and
friends were now dead. The last remnant of their pro-.
perty, about 8001., they had given to a brother, whom
they loved; the brother, unfortunately, had trusted the
money into the hands of another, and all was lost. He died
a death of misery, embittered by the thought that he had
been, though innocently, the cause of his sisters' wretched -
ness. These ladies were introduced to the society, and they
were now earning frcm Bs. to 9s. a week, and felt happier
than they ever had been in their lives before. They
had written a letter full of gratitude and expressions of
regard towards the supporters of the society. He would
not give their names, but was willing to give privately
such information to those who desired it as would prove
they were new living in comfort, while formerly they
were in misery.—(hear.) He trusted, therefore, that a
society which could accomplish such excellent objects as
these would continue to be supported,
Lord D. STUART then moved " that the report be
adopted and circulated," and spoke of the great
benefits which such an institution as the pre-
sent was calculated to confer. It was, at the same
time, lamentable that their greatest efforts should
be able to give the objects of their care so
small a measure of the comforts of life. It was
indeed melancholy to think that in this metropolis,
where there was so much wealth, and splendour, and
luxury, there should also exist such a mass of misery
and destitution. He rejoiced therefore at the existence
of an institution which affoaded assistance to the, poor in
a way which of all others was most desirable, that of
procuring for them employment.—(Hear.) That was a
mode of giving aid ten times better for moral character,
and for preventing feelings of humiliation, than any
other mode that could be adopted. The Noble Lord
concluded by moving the adoption of the report.
Mr. E. BRAWSRER seconded the motion, which was
unanimously adopted.
Mr. L. J. HANSARD moved the following resolution:—
" That this meeting views with much satisfaction the
happy progress the society has already made in rooting
our the evils that caused so much misery to the indus•
trious sempstresses, and pledge themselves to continue
their exertions in support of so praiseworthy an under-
taking."
The resolution was seconded by Mr. MORE, and
unanimously agreed to.
Mr. GLADWELL moved the next resolution, which was
as follows

" That the objects of the society are not only beneficial
to the sempstresses, but will also protect the interests of
the fair-dealing tradesman, and consequently will secure
their support."
As a tradesman he had been requested to offer his
opinion, and had much pleasure in expressing his entire
concurrence with the objects of the society, and his be-
lief that much advantage was likely to flow from its
operations.
This resolution was also unanimously agreed to.
Mr. R. L. SWIFT moved a vote of thanks to Alderman
Farebrother for his conduct in the chair, and spoke of
his great liberality in contributing to the charitable in-
stitutions of the country. He had seen a list of institu-
tions to the number of upwards of 40, to all of which the
worthy alderman was a liberal contributor.—(Hear.)
The motion having been unanimously carried, •
The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compliment,
and the meeting separated.
