and Ship have decreased considerably.
An urgent appeal is therefore made for assistance to support
the inmates.
£l5 will keep a boy or a girl for one year, and £1 58. for a
month.

IDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 6,
Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.
To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John
'Stahl), Hon. Sec., 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.

THE DUKE OF RUTLAND.—We are able to state
that his Graoe is satisfactorily recovering from the effects
of his recent fall.

There were 1,671 deaths registered in London last
week, which was 189 below the estimated average. There
were 60 deaths from smallpox, 130 from scarlet fever, 12
from typhus, 21 from enteric (or typhoid) fever, 15 from
simple continued fever, and 12 from diarrhoea. The mean
temperature of the air was 38.9 deg., or 29 deg. below the
average of fifty years.
SOCIAL REFORAL—Liverpool and Glasgow seem
fully alive to the necessity of doing all that is possible
to suppress the social evil. The subject has received
earnest attention of late, and while it is candidly ad-
mitted that the difficulties in the way of the suppression
of the evil appear to be insuperable, it is acknowledged
that the rigid enforcement of the law would go far to
realise the hopes, of social reformers. Brothels are so
numerous in Liverpool and Glasgow that it
would require a special surveillance on the
part of the police to bring their keepers within
the reach of th€l law. In Glasgow it is said that one
person keeps five brothels and "shebeens." At Liver-
pool the magistrates seem determined that, so far as they
are concerned, such gross immorality shall not be tolerated,
and a vigorous onslaught which the police have made
upon a notorious dancing and " refreshment"
establish-
ment, where multitudes of prostitutes assemble in pursuit
1 of their wretched calling, is the inauguration of a new
magisterial policy. The closing of all such dens would
prove one of the speediest and surest means of extinguish-
ing the evil.
