COMMITTEE.
• • The Lord ASHLEY, M.l'., Chairman.
And Twenty-four Clergymen and Gentlemen.
-The Society for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labour-
big Claascs having met with entire success in three differed efforts to
provide better dwellings for the labouring p, Is n
commencing a new attempt, of, it may be hoped, a still snore impor-
ant character.
Its peat operations have been as follows :-
1. A. range of cottages, on a site where cottages only were adnais-
etble, called Model Buildings, in Bagnigge-wells. These are now oc-
cupied by married couples and aged females, whose rents are paid
weekly, with great thankfulness for the cheap and wholesome lodg-
ings provided.
2. Three houses repaired and thrown into one, in Charles-street,
Drary•lailie, wherein clean and proper accommodation is found for 80
working men.
2. The Model Lodging-house, for single men, built expressly tbr
the moiety, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single
men are provided wills separate sleeping apartments, and every other
desirable accommodation, at the charge of id. per night.
All these establishments are full, the rents arc regnlarly paid, and
the inmates are very thankful for tee advantages they receive. The
number of person's now tenanting the Society's houses is 320, while
in various parts of the country their allotment tenants are 556.
These three undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair an
be-
d
adequate rental for the capital laid out, are producing important
nefits to the working classes, and are compelling improvement in
lodging-houses generally.
Ent there is a very numerous end important class, for whose be_nefft great efferts ought to be made. The mechanics
in and_nllser laes
bourers, occupied in the heart of the metropolis, and having
and families, who are compelled to dwell in localities where employ-
ment is to he found, surely demand some consideration.
The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to
meet the wants of this interesting and important of persons.
They at present have ill view two sites, in the very centre of the me-
tropolis, either of which would admiorably answer the
them, purpose.
it will
They are endeavoaring tog ain possssion of one of but
lse necessary, in order to their effecting this object in a proper and
auflelent manner, that they should first raise a sum of 5,0001 or
6,0001., which will obviously be required to erect any building of such
extent as to to *aye as a model for future undertakings. Hence a
public appeal must be made, since the whole 01 the Society's funds
have been exhausted in the completion of the three works above enu-
merated.
The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun-
try no further plea need be used than that of the duty and
dw impor-
tance of benefiting the poor, especially with respect to their ellings.
Still it cannot be out of place to remark, that while measures for the
improvement of the health of the metropolis are urged on every side,
there can be no measure so effectual for this purpose as that of ex-
changing the wretched abodes, into which the poor are now too often
crowded, for well-planned, well-drained, and properly ventilated ha-
bitation. The Committee believe that this can be done even at a
lower rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer is now
often forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable
to give them the means of tint demonstrating this important
Met by actual experiment cannot be toe often repeated, that
while our poor are forced, as at present, to crowd together, all ages
and sexes in the same sleeping apartment. the preservation of either
health or morals is rendered all but an impossibility.

The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the
Widow and Faintly of beate William Thom, the gifted but umfor-
tunate Poet of Inverury,g leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to
the Public, more especially to the l'ublic of Scotland, in behalf of the
trust which has been confided to them.
The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac-
knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse
have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form,
but in variou periodicls. His tants attractedjudges;
inac their Journal, have de-
voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of
praise to which they considered his merits entitled.
The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of
a humble chil of the ues, having formed a scene of trials and
appoinbtments,d accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and
distress.
Many of his earliest and best years were passed at
imthe Hawkhon
ill
of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply pressed
his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished
to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend
his latter days in comparative peace and quiet.
His wishes were fulnlled, for not many months ago he did return
from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his
last on Monday, the '2Bth of February. He has left a widow and three
infant children, the youngest but five months old, totally unprovided
for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if
possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has
been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al-
ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded
to in a prompt and liberal manlier. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey,
Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others,
have spontaneously sent their contributions; and it is earnestly
hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un-
obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which
the Committee have in view.
Dundee, March 10, 1848.
Contributions will be received by any of the Members of Cemmit-
tee ; and at the shops of Messrs. Chalmers, Shaw, and Middleton,
Booksellers, and Mr. Mills, Perfumer, Dundee.
DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERURY POET.
(To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.")
Dundee, February 29, 1848.
Sir,—The painful task has been deputed to Me of announcing to
the public the death of William Them, the Inverury poet. For
some time past he had been in delicate and deellning health ; and
his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer-
tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his
honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half-
past eleven A.M., he departed this life. He has left behind him
something more than a name—some true and beautiful strains.
which, its " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will riot
willingly 'utter, like the ittseription en the ecu,,, to bo Inariod
in
the tomb. Ile has left behind him, alas 1 something of yet ten-
derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children,
1117 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few
months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind-
ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere
this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of
the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." Ile has
found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at
last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will
I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment
which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly
poetic usage. Ile was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could sup
on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for
years' But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his
destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature—
every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's
lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure
and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex-
clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw
him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath
given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how
tar superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by
generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was
the privilege of meeting with and hearing bins for the last time.
No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima-
tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be,
dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and
others. But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death-
bed, let us follow the start we have accidentally gained by instant,
acilve, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless
bairns.
Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, and Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr.
Mills, rerfutner, have kindly undertaken to receive donations.
The smallest sums is:11 be welcomed.
I am, Sir, yours truly,
GEORGE GILF ILL AN.

his death :
SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN YALE.

With a bright and a brotherly glee,
May we never forget that the sun hath set

First-rate HOTEL, with splendid COFFEE-ROOM and TAVERN,
in one of the best parts of the Metropolis, to be LET.
MESSRS. W. W. SIMPSON and B. RIX
have received directions to Let, for a long term, an Hotel,
now doing a fleurishing and lucrative business, which, from its pe-
culiarly eligible situation, it must ever command. The returns
arising from the reception of Private Families in the Hotel, with ex-
tensive TIMM and Coffee-room Departments (to wilich
other branches of the trade are advantageously combined),
amount to a large annual sum, and bear a heavy rate of profit. The
premium and rent required being moderate, this concern affords to as
energetic man of business a rare opersng for the employment of his
capital.
Parties applying for further information will be expected to give
the most satisfactory references previous to its being famished by

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-
road, London.
The principles of the Bygeian theory are contained in the follow-
ing propositions :-
1. The vital principle is contained in the blood.
2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood.
3. All constitutions arc radically the same.
4. All diseases arise frost the inapitrity of the blood, or, in other
words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body.
6. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources
—the maternine, the contagious, and the personal.
6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be
considered synonymous terms.
7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual
mode of eradicating disease.
8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO-
RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be sack
proper vegetable purgative.
9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and
the body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the
other.

MOSES AND THE MUSES.

These maids (nine in number) so fiction relates
Are able to govern poetical pates.
And thoroughly knowing what all kind of wit Is,
To help a poor poet in writing his ditties.
And new for my story—a singular one—
These nymphs were invited by MOSES and EON,
Who wishes to inform them, of what they roust sing,
And to tell them of matters concerning the spring.
We thank you, (said MOSES,) for services past ;
Nor have we the slightest reflection to cast.
Much attention to MOSES and SON you've attracted,
And have faithfully told of the manner they're acted ;
In telling the world what our tailoring trade is,
You never have once over-rated it, ladies.
You have told what is true—you have spoken with reason
And now let us come-to the present spring season.
Please to take a walk round (said E. MOSES and SON)
And see for yourselves what a deal we have done.
Ilero are waistcoats of newest design for the spring,
And trowsers and over-coats fit for a king.
Just notice (said MOSES) the dress coats and frock,
And the elegant hats, and the hosiery stock.
You've plenty to write on, especially so
When we say that the prices were never so low ;
Go, tell to the public what fashions attract,
And tell them how MOSES and SON mean to act."

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conitions. in
ld ordthe
er
that it may be really the cause of mutual happindess. Cou
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and I trite source in every instaace disclosed, in how many could
Jibe traced to physical disqualifications and their at endant disap-
reintments. Excesses are always injarions ; the gift, which when
aged la moderation is fraught with IldTalltitge, becomes, when
abused. the prolific) source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
.he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subiect.
This work contains an accurate aid complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reprednebive Organs, and of
their relative conditions he health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more Importance than the preservation of the health,
aid of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It nafertunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
la early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sntfering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread se
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the roach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the ewes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all,
secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefes-
stoma pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
L.L'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

March, 1848. JOHN BIGG,

A R.
.11.V1 One half the world are desolately single, and
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, :tad miscalculated hopes em-
Sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caxtion and worldly prudence, anti the indissoluble, regret nn-
comprosiag hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
In the compact ; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by rest, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their Utica, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
.ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink,m and
Avoid," and " Holy to be Happy." They are not
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
Ilte, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this *b.
ser vance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would he done ante—to live after nature's laws—anti to keep always
an the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Ahorwood, '23, Paternoster-row ; Carvallio, 147, Fleet-street ; Mann,

FIRE nr LivEaroot. About half past eleven
o'clock on Friday evening a fire broke out in a small
shop occupied by Mr. Clark, silversmith and jeweller,
near to the Liver Theatre, in Church-street, and so
rapid was its progress, that in half an hour the place
was completely gutted, and the various articles of
jewellery which it contained were destroyed. The
flames broke through the wall to the adjoining shop of
Mr. J. llowell, bookseller, where considerable damage
was done, and also extended to the dwelling-rooms above
each shop, where their progress was almost immediately
checked, not by the fire-engines, but by a copious supply
of water projected from hose attached to the Green-lane
mains. Beth parties, we learn, are insured in the North
of England office. The fire occasioned a somewhat
extraordinary scene in the Liver Theatre. The play of
Used Up was proceeding when Mr. Coleman received
intelligence of the fire; the actors were called from the
stage, and, without any explanation, the scene suddenly
dropped. The audience, bewildered by the movement,
at first began to hiss; but the awful word " fire " was
accidently heard, and the olfactory nerves told of its
proximity, when every one in the theatre made a spon-
taneous rush towards the door. The pressure of the
crTvd, eager for exit was intense, but fortunately no
accident of moment occurred from the sudden panic and
alarin.—Liverpool Albion.
CONTEMELATED CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION ON
KENSINGTON COMMON.-It was yesterday currently re-
ported, on the Surrey side of the Thames, and very
generally believed, to be the intention of the Metropo-
litan Chartists to make another grand " demonstration,"
on Monday next, on Kennington Common ; and, after
the adoption of their petition at a public meeting, to
march in a body to the House of Commons to have it
presented. It is further stated to be the intention of
the same body to meet on Kennington Common on the
next day (Tuesday), and walk in procession from there
to the Parliament house, to demand an answer to their
petition. Should these rumours turn out to be true, it
is to be hope that some better regulations will be entered
on than at the last " demonstration " to protect the
tradespeople and inhabitants of the district from plunder
and insult.
