The Governor of the Bank, D'ARGOITZ
The metallic reserve has again increased four raillioq
in the Paris Bank, and four and a half in the bravo
establishments. The amount of bills becoming due blial
declined in an exceedingly large proportion, being 13,h0
less than 17 millions in all, 12 in Paris, and five in `"
departments. The bills protested at Paris are one
million less than the preceding week, but remain in the
departments about the same as they were. The notes 1
circulation have diminished six millions; and the aee?1111
current of the treasury amounts to about 38i
or 26 millions more than last week. This increase
probably owing to another instalment of the loan of 150
millions being paid by the Bank, though the returPf
make no allusion to the matter. The whole amotli?"
the metallic reserve is now 213 millions to 373 millions
of notes in circulation.

WESTMINSTER WORKING MEN'S
EMIGRATION CLUB.
Yesterday evening a crowded public meeting of the,
labouring classes, the majority of whom were re.,sPecto
able looking mechanics, was held at the Working Alt;
Institute, Pear. street, Strutton-ground, one of the 113"
densely inhabited and most wretched parts
of We; t.
"
minster, for the purpose of receiving the report c'
committee appointed to inquire into the practicability of
forming an emigration club for the working classes.
Mr. Aitchison, a gentleman who has taken great I terest in the Ragged Schools, and in other benevolent
schemes for the advancement of ?he labouring poor, Was
voted to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by observil
that the subject of emigration had of late years attracted
a large share of the attention of the philanthropic; an
he rejoiced to think that its benefits might shortly be a;
tended to the over-crowded population of Westminsrin
—(Cheers.) It was only necessary for him to explain
that a short time ago a lecture was delivered in that room
upon the subject of emigration, which had led to the
appointment of a committee in order to consider the in.ae
priety of organizing an emigration club. The committee
had met several times, and he was now prepared to su.u„
mit their report to the meeting.--(Cheers.) The Chiti!.
man then proceeded to read a lengthy report. It Pr"
posed that a club should be formed, to consist of an tin.l
limited number of members, and to be connected with the
Society for the Promotion of Colonization—that the 50°
scribers should pay 9d. per week per share, and Is. entli
and that the election of members for emigration should
ake place every three months, and should be decided bf
lot. It was calculated that, with the proposed snbscriptioo,
the society would be enabled to send out at least 100
members in four years.—(Cheers.) These were the
main features of the plan ; but of course there were
various points of detail, to which it was not necessary
to allude.

Mr. STANFORD moved "That the report be adopted,and_
a club immediately formed, based on the resolutions
agreed to by the committee." The speaker entered at
considerable length into the vezata questio of a surplus
population, contending that to that surplus, 11
the ruinous competition which it entailed, the
present low rate of wages and general distress 1"
the mother country were to be attributed. Be
saw, from the returns of the trades unions, that there
were 200,000 working men in London, of whom onv
third were in employment, one-third in only partial em'
ployment, pawning their clothes and partly dependant
on charity, and the remining third wholly relying upon
charity. He then alluded to the rate of wages in our
Australian colonies, and to the small proportion of the
population of the soil, and concluded by contrastinggthe
advantages to be derived from a well-organised emir t.
Lion club with the visionary projects held out by the
Chartists and their land scheme.---(Loud cheers.)
Mr. BRAY seconded the resolution, and it was agreed
to nem. con.
On the motion of Mr. SLAYNEY, seconded by Mr*
JAMES, a committee was then formed for the purpose
of
carrying out the ends which the club had in view; and,
after the transaction of some other business not of a'
interesting character to the public at large, the meeting
separated.
