WHITEOROSS-STREET PRISON.—Yeet et (ley at the
Court of Aldermen,! Alderman Sidney brought up a
report on the subject of the relief of debtors in White-

employed in assisting such prisoners as were anxious
at once to appear before the court, and not in reliev-
ing " troublesome old stagers." The report was unani-
mously agreed to. The court then proceeded to the
election of a governor of Whitecross-street Prison, when
Mr. Colwell and Captain Hicks having been selected
out of the five candidates, a show of hands was taken,
and there appeared 10 for Mr. Colwell and 10 for Cap•
tain Hicks. The Lord Mayor gave the casting vote for
the latter gentleman,

magistrates and parish
officers assemble for local business. The chair was ably
filled by Captain Harwood, a considerable landholder in
the neighbourhood, assisted by J. Mlatchford, Esq. In
proposing success to the society, the chairman described
the advantages of temporary relief in cases of distress
among the industrious poor, and showed the increasing
importance of the society, evinced by the gradual aug
msntation of the sum annually distributed, and that, too,
among recipients whose eves were fully investigated
before they were assisted ; 25 years ago the sun so
dispensed was but 11/. ; this had increased to 501. or 601 ,
and on the very last meeting night no less than 65 cases
of distress were relieved with varioue sums, from se. to 20s.
The chairman concluded a powerful appeal to the company
it, behalf of the institution, and gave what he considered
the toast of the evening, Success to the Peterborough
Benevolent Society," which was drank with great
enthusiasm, and a collection made which exceeded 30/.
although most of the guests were already annual ,sub-
scribers. Among the absentees who regretted that they
were unable, from various eircurnstaneCh', to attend, were
H. B. Sheridan, E,q., M.P., Albert Smith, E. T. Smith,
E-q., and others, who, nevertheless, forwarded band- ,
some donations. A number of new subscribers entered
their names. The chairman's health was drunk with
heartfelt cheers ; and in acknowledging the honours he
expressed his gratification at having been selected to
preside
over a company of gentlemen met for so good a
purpose, and pledged himself to do all he could to pro-
mote whatever tended to benefit the neighbourhood of
which he was now e resident. The health of the Vice-
' • Mr. Cover, of Fulham, the president and
Caairman, ,
officers, the founders, the stewards and lady subscribers,
were drunk and responded to, and the company, highly
gratified with the selendid fare provided by Mr. Walker,
and the attention cf Mr. E. Bennett, separated at a late
