sessions, he had had to administer punishment for
offences against the laws, it was now a very pleasing,
duty to preside at a meeting for the formation of a
society which was to reward' the honest and industri-
ous.—(Cheers.) The High Sheriff concluded by read-
ing letters from H. Ker Seymour, Esq., M.P., and the
Rev. H. F. Yeatman, apologising for absence, and then
called on

The Lord Bishop of SALISBURY, who proposed the
first resolution. His Lordship said he had listened with
great pleasure to the observations with which the'High
Sheriff had introduced the business of the meeting, and
in which he had in some measure anticipated some re-
marks which he might otherwise have ,been dispoied to
make. He would proceed at once to read a resolution
which was entrusted to him, and which was to this
effect:—" That it is obvious that the present state and
condition of the labouring classes are such as to give oc-
.casion for the immediate efforts of an energetic and well-
directed benevolence to produce a permanebt aficreffectual
improvement in their condition." Ire felt that this reso:
lution might more properly, in some respects, have been
committed to the charge of those around him,'who, from,
their own personal acquaintance with the condition of
the labourers, and more especially with the condition of

the labourers of this county, would be enabled to sup•
port the resolution by statements of facts which it would
not be in his power to bring before thein, and by argu-
ments which he had not the means to adduce. The calls
of duty which laid upon him brought him little into
immediate connexion with the labouring poor—with
those whose interests it was the" more especial object of
the association which it was now proposed to establish
to advance. But if on that account it might have been
more fitting that sueh a resolution•should have been en-
trusted to some other hands, he might be permitted to
say that there was surely no man who was bound under
deeper or more sacred responsibilities than himself, to
have a deep and earnest sympathy with the condition of
the poor—not only in this or that locality throughout
the county, but in every individual parish and every
cality, with each and all of which he was connected by
a tie the most sacred and the Most important. And,
perhaps, in one respect it might be -as well that he who
had to move the resolution should *not be Connected with
any particular parish or locality in'that county, more es-
pecially than with the neighbouring' county; inasmuch
as•it could not by possibility be supposed that in advert-
ing to the condition of the labouring class in general, it
was intended to imply that that condition differed from
the state of the labouring dais in any part of the United
Kingdom, placed under similar circumstances; or that
he had any intention to allude to those discussions that
had been raised, and which had excited an angry feeling
in the community. He was sure that it. was not the in-
tention of this association to mix itself up with questions
of that kind, and he believed such• to be far from the wish•
of the committee who framed those resolutions. It was far
from his own wish to assert that there was any difference
in the condition of, the labouring classea in that county,
nd in the condition of those in the other part of his
diocese in Wilts, or in any part of the United Kingdom
under similar circumstances. But by this resolution was
implied, that the condition of the labouring classes was
worthy to be a subject of more satisfactory contemplation
than they allowed it to be; and he would put it to any
man who understood the responsibilities under which
they laid, whether it was not for their interest to better
that condition by any means which experience could
suggest or reason advise ? As with the social condition
~f the individual man, so was it with the condition of
the social community. In both conditions it was found
imprudent to stand still, for the station and individuals
were either advancing to improvement or tending to de-
:tradation and decay. It might be that in the body po-
litic different actions might at the same time be going
on in different portions, and that one member of the body
might dwindle and waste away whilst other parts were
subjected to an unnatural and unhealthy growth. No
one that looked around him would fail to see that there
was going on in this country a progress, and growth, and
increase entirely unexampled. Science was every day
bringing to light new discoveries, which in their applica-
tion to the mechanical arts were giving occasion for the
increase of capital and the growth of the na-
tional wealth. Knowledge was more widely distri-
buted. Agriculture, trade, commerce, each bad in
an astonishing degree increased. But it might be
a subject of inquiry, whilst there was this growth
of wealth, this accumulation of capital, whether the
great mass of the community had their due and proper
share in the improvement of the general state. If it
were the case that there was in this country at the pre-
sent time a tendency of wealth, whilst it had increased,
to accumulate itself in fewer hands—if there were such
a tendency, that whilst the rich grew richer the poor
grew poorer—that whilst the few had a large share of
the luxuries of life, the labourers and the men who sup-
plied those luxuries, had a smaller portion of even that
which their necessities required—this was a state which,
while it could not but make the philanthropist grieve,
must give uneasiness to the statesman and the politician,
and it gave them the more readiness to avail themselves
of any occasion on which such a tendency might be cor-
rected, honest industry be improved, and the labouring li
man be encouraged with hope in the exercise of his
honest calling.- And this be conceived to be the inten-
tion of the association which it was proposed to-day to
found—not founded as if that or any association could
take the place of the responsibilities of the individual
man, or could do that which, after all, depended mainly
upon the exertions of all those who were conscious of

those responsibilities—in—hi;;;n private sphere to carry
out himself. He conceived that this society could not
perhaps do very much in its own corporate capacity, but
he conceived that every individual who united himself

all members of an association which
things. They were already, by virtue of their incorpo-
ration into the church of Christ, under the law, that
when one member suffers, all the members suffer with
it ; and that when one member rejoices, all the mem-
bers rejoice with it—they were members of an associa-
tion, the rule of whose conduct was, "to bear one
another's burden, and so fulfil the law of Christ"—
(Applause.) The association which they proposed to
found was but a practical means of carr7ing out the
higher law. He conceived that they were in the path of
duty when endeavouring by all means in their power to
lighten the burden of poverty, and to stimulate indus-
try, to encourage honest exertion, to cheer depression,

Fbeing.—(Much

vations. It would be highly improper in him to make
particular mention of his interest in the
any labouring
classes, which if he exhibited in that sphere in which
Providence had placed him, might well be spared, and if
he showed a neglect of that interest in his private
sphere, such observations would be idle and fruitless.
How the labouring classes might be brought to a parti-
cipation of those luxuries and comforts enjoyed by all
other classes, was a subject which had received much
consideration ; but he thought if they wished to do real,
permanent, and vital good, it must be through the means
of the labouring classes and the mechanics themselves.
It was known that the system generally adopted in the
neighbourhood was for the cardottage to have a garden at-
tached to it, and where that gen was accompanied by
an allotment of potato ground in the field, ho believed
this was one of the bestumeans of meeting the wants of
the labouring classes. thonght there were many
to this conclusion, one of which was
rts-fisons for coming
that (before this visitation) a lug of potato ground gene-
rally produced two bushels ; 20 lug would therefore
produce 40 bushels, or a larger amount of food than
he thought could be furnished by any system for the
improvementof the labouring classes. He was not
prepared to say that where this was carried out the
improvement,
allotment system was an but
there was
abundant room for the operations of this society
account all the places where
if they left out of It
this system was followd. was well known that
adjoining that town the
was a large parish in which
there were dwellings without any gardens at all, and the
incumbent of which had endeavoured in vain for a length
obtain land. Ile believed there
.were many
of time to 6114 bra
places to 4 03441, eXtent Ole flame ,

I

thought that for the first few years they would have
luite as much as they would be enabled to do.
Mr. A. H. DYKE ACLAND proposed the next reso-
ution to this effect :—" That it is evident from the re-
port of theSetect Committee of the House of Commons
)11 the utility of allotments of land to the poor, and from
various other authentic documents, that land allotments
,r the field-garden system, under judicious regulations,
teed to add to the resources, to increase the coLiforts,

and improve the moral habits of the labouring classes."
Ile speaker enforced by argument drawn from the re-
port alluded to the various principles enunciated in the
resolution ; and he did believe, he said, that if there
were an., two principles contained in these two texts of
scripture, " The earth is the Lord's and the fulness
,hereof," and " The poor shall eat and be satisfied "
(Loud cheers.)—he held that he had sinned eqully against
tlod and his fellow-creatures who wasted one single
,arthing on luxuries or needless things, or wasted a
Angle acre of that land whose produce was called for by
starving brethren, and who had a right to ask that the
land should be cultivated to the utmost possible extent.
Now it was distinctly proved in that report that the la-
'tourer could, with perfect faithfulness to his master,
,ultivate in his leisure hours his land to such an extent
is to produce sufficient to support him, if he were quite
without wages for thirteen weeks in tke year. People-
were in the habit of coming to him—and God -knew he
r'elt for them when they did—and complaining that they
were turned off in the winter. What was tue farmer's
story? I sin obliged to provide my capital, and to have
it ready to apply at the very moment when it is neces-
flary, and if I am bound to provide for all these men at
Al seasons, how am I to bring my capital to bear at the
moment when it is required? He was not going to dis-
Jr this was not the proper tune for dis
but here was an answer—that in a certain
year when a labourer could nut be profitably
the farmer, here was a system by which
:ould be made beforehand for the hour of
'here was one fact which came under his own

ig upon the question. There was con-
aected with the gaol of that county a fund called the
" charity fund," from which certain sums were given
to persOns'wbo had been in the gaol, and on their libera-
tion worked-continuously for the same_master for three,

six, or twelve months. At the end of the period they
received rewards and clothes in proportion to the length
of their servitude, it being provided that it should be
shown that during that period they attended Divine
service. That fund had been established 20 years.
During the first 10 years there :were only lb applicants,
but during the last 10 years 103 had received gifts from
the fund, and of those 103 three only had been re-com-
mitted to gaol. It might be asked, what had that to do
with the subject before them ? He thought it had much
to do with it. It showed that get such a man into
limiest employment, and there was some security, under
God's blessing, of his not reverting again to the path of
crime, but ground for reasonable hope of his becoming
an honest, trustworthy member of society.
The Hon. and Rev. W. SCOTT, Rector of Maiden
Newton, seconded the resolution, and regretted that the
person through whom he had had access to documents
bearing upon the case was not present. He regretted
it, because he was quite sure that the community had
mistaken his views, and that the objections which they
had taken to his views were most unworthy. He was
sure that such restraints kept them closer to their duties
than if their faults were passed over in silence. [Mr.
Scott was supposed to allude to Mr. Osborne.] He
thought they must admit that they were not on an equal
footing with many parts of the country, for in the sister
country there were no labourers receiving under 155.,
and during harvest they often received 205., and in
Northumberland he was invariably hired by the year ;
that he had his cottage rent free; that he had his thousand
yards of potato ground provided by the farmer, and in
addition to that he had the whole of his pay in goods,
which in times of scarcity Was a most valuable accom-
modation. The Northumberland "hind," as he was
called, had invariably a cow kept for him, his four and
a half quarters of oats, his three quarters of barley, his
quarter and a half of peas, and his three bushels of
wheat. In the parish of Nocton, in Lincolnshire, the
wages were the same ,as those he had mentioned. That
was not the case there; but let him tell them what would
be the case, if they did not follow the example. The
labourers were already leaving this country for the wilds
of Australia and the great plains of America, and when
they learned these things, as they must soon from the
ready communication that took place between one part
and another, he thought they would not remain there
when they learned that they could obtain a better remu•
aeration elsewhere.—(Cheers.) He was not desirous of
laying the whole blame of this upon the farmer, for if
he raised a body of labourers only one shilling a week,
his outlay might be increased 50L'a year, and that was
more than they expected others to give in charity, for
charity it was, though it was a charity that would re-
dound to their own welfare. He knew it aas said with
a certain degree of fairness that the landlord must bear
his part in that increase of wages ; but he told them it
must begin with the farmers, the land'urd had it not in
his power to raise the rate of wages ; but he did not
mean to say whether the land of that country was not
held at too high a rent—if so, let the tenant not oiler
too high.—(Laughter.) A heavy and deep respcnsi-
bility certainly rested upon the landowner with regard
to the condition of the dwellings, but that would be the
subject of another resolution. When he entered on the
living of Maiden Newton ho was ironically congratu-
ated on his having got the worst parish in the county
to deal with, and he himself was no less than six times
in that very court as a prosecutor. In the last three
years, during which allotments had been in operation in
his parish, he did not think he had been seen there.—
(Applause.) In the first year of the allotments two con-
victions took place, and there were consequently two
forfeitures ; but from that time not one out of 80 hol-
ders had committed any offence to call them up before a
magistrate. There was one result which, as a clergy-
man, he took especial pleasure in contemplating, viz.,
that when cultivating the soil the labourer might be in-
duced to think of the cultivation of his soul ; and that
when he found that by due attendance to his garden he
was reaping a reward, he might be led to consider that
by attending to the cultivation of his soul he might reap
the rewards thereof in the heavenly kingdom.
The Rev. H. URQUHART proposed the next resolution,
which expressed the desirableness of obtaining the co-
operation of owners and occupiers of landed property, to
promote an improvement in ventilation, draining, and
internal accommodation.
Mr. Joust CHAMEN, farmer, of Charminster, seconded
the proposition.
The Rev. SANDERSON ROBINS, without preliminary
observation, moved the formation of the society, which
Mr. J. F. HODGES seconded.
The Rev. C. W. 13mortenr, in proposing that the Earl
of Orford, the Lord Bishop of the diocese, and Lord
Rivers, be patrons of the society, and that a committee
be formed, said, in what was his parish (Syding) he en
deavoured to establish the system, but for the first six
years he tried in vain. He found that the landowner
would not assist him; that the farmers were always
against him; and it was only about two years ago that
he was enabled to purchase land and carry out his inten-
tions. With respect to what had been said about the
state of the dwellings of the poor, he would only re-
mark that he had been carried to Fordington, where he
saw what he was sure would surprise those who knew
Dorchester best. He saw there places where the people
were crowded together in a manner that he had thought
was confined to the manufacturing districts.
Mr. JOHN HayszE seconded the resolution; and after
a vote of thanks had been given to the Lord Bishop
and the High Sheriff, and acknowledged, the meeting
separated.

ROYAL SEA-BATHING INFIRMARY. -- The fifty-
first anniversary dinner of this charity was held at the
London Coffee-house, Ludgate-bill, on Thursday evening.
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, being sup-
ported by Mr. Alderman Challis and Mr. R. W. Ken.
nard, Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and other
active friends of the institution. The entertainment
itself was highly creditable to the Messrs. Lovegrove.
After the cloth had been drawn, and the usual loyal and
national toasts had received due honour, the Lord Mayor
proposed the leading toast of the evening, via., " Pros-
perity to the Royal Sea-bathing Infirmary;" and, in
order to show the increased prosperity and usefulness
of the institution, stated that the number of patients
admitted, which was, in the first year (1796), only
16, had increased in each succeeding year, until,
during the past season, 716 persons had been received
either as in-door or as out-door patients; a statement
which elicited loud applause. It was further remarked,
that although the bulk of the subscriptions had
hitherto come from the metropolis, there was the
greatest desire, on the part of the managing body, to
derive support from the provinces, as well as to extend
the benefits of the institution to persons living in distant
parts of the country. Amongst the toasts was that of
"Mr. B. B. Cabbell and the Vice-Presidents of the
Institution." In acknowledging the compliment, Mr.
Cabbell observed, that one great impediment to the
beneficial operation of the institution was the charge
now thrown upon the patients of defraying the expenses
of their board. Mr. Alderman Gibbs, the treasurer,
expressed his desire to see this burden removed from
the recipients of the benefits of the charity, remarking,
at the same time, that, in order to effect this object, it
would be necessary that about 30,0001. should be invested
in the Three per Cents. The toasts of the evening in-
cluded " The Chairman," " Mr. Coulson and the Medical
Board," " Mr. Alderman Gibbs, the treasurer," " The
Sheriffs," &c. Mr. J. Paul, the secretary, announced
several subscriptions, the aggregate amount of which was
595/. 16s.
THE NEW GOVERNOR OF THE CAPE OF GOOD
HOPE AND THE ABORIGINES.—On Wednesday Sir
Henry Pottinger received a deputation of the Aborigines
Protection Society. The address presented on the occa-
sion of his accepting the office of Governor of the colony
of the Cape of Good Hope, contained an appeal in favour
of the native tribes, who, in times past, have had much
to endure. It advocated the systematic improvement of
these people as more effectual than severity for securing
peace and prosperity to the colony. His Excellency, in
a courteous manner, assured the deputation that he en-
tered on his office perfectly unbiassed towards any party.
He pledged himself to no plans_ until he had seen and
judged for himself, but said that the welfare of the
natives, consistently with their restraint from mischief,
would bo an object of his care.

A meeting of the shareholders . of. the Australian
Alining Company was held to-day, at which the direc-
tors presented a very' flattering report. The recent
discoveries of minerals in the neighbourhood of Ade-
laide had prepared the parties interested for some very
favourable details concerning the pOsition of their pro-
perty. It seems that the directors are .daily expecting
official intelligence of the grant of 20,000 acres of land,
situated near Reedy. Creek, where large quantities of
copper ore have been found, which intelligence was
only delayed till the claim of " royalty" was settled.

of money was abundant for all ordinary purposes, and,
that the markets should have given way to the extent
witnessed, was a matter of some surprise, particularly
as there was really little appearance of business.
Consols were at one moment as low as 94* for Money,
establishing a decline of fully a to 4 per cent., and,
sympathising with these, almost everything else was
quoted nominally lower, such as foreign stocks of
various kinds, and, in a very minor degree, rail-
ways and other shares. Different rumours were in
circulation to account for the fall, but the ap-
prehensions of the public having been once par-
tially awakened by statements announcing impor-
tant movements in our arsenals and dockyards, there
can be little doubt that an advantage was taken by un-
scrupulous speculators, of the opportunity afforded them
of working as strongly as possible upon sensitive minds,
by the employment of all kinds of inventions and ex-
aggerations' for the promotion of their own selfish ob-
jects. The state of Portugal was the leading topic of
the day. In the facts which have been made matter of
newspaper comment, connected with the recent revolu-
tion, good reason is thought to have been found for the
belief that there must now be a total severance of the
amicable relations which have for so many years sub-
sisted between France and England. All the mischief is
ascribed to the intriguing propensities of his Majesty the
King of the French, and hence it is that a 'cases belli is
considered to have arisen, which may adequately ex-
plain the motive for the increase spoken of in our naval
and military forces. The marching of a Spanish
army into Portugal, and the preparation for foreign
service—the departure, in fact, of an English fleet,
the throwing up of additional defences at Gibraltar, and
the like, were among the subjects of the many agreeable
rumours to- which it was the fate of timid stock-holders
to have to listen from about eleven o'clock until nearly
the close of the markets. Eventually, however, a stand
was made by influential parties, and the reports of the
day being essentially vague, there was at length a rally,
the home securities recovering themselves to the extent
of about 4 per cent. The intelligence upon which the
earlier operations were based seems to have been derived
almost exclusively from newspaper sources. As such is
the case, our readers may be able to judge for themselves
of the merits of the reports in question which have a
political bearing. The condition of Ireland is still a
cause of solicitude, and the foreign exchanges having
turned against this country, there may be some exporta-
tion of the precious metals. We are of opinion, never-
theless, that the fears entertained on these, as well as on
the other heads alluded to, have been needlessly great.
