I do not think of my parents (long in their graves) with
any such compunctions as your correspondent describes.
They gave me in their lifetime, according to their means
and knowledge, and as they had probably received from
their parents, shelter and protection, mixed with curses
and caresses. I received all as a matter of course, and,
knowing nothing better, was content in that kind of con-
tentedness which springs from insensibility ; I returned
their affection in like kind as they gave it to me. As long
as they lived T looked up to them as my parents. I
assisted them in their poverty, and =lie them com-
fortable. They looked on me and I on them with pride, for
I was proud to be able to minister to their wants ; and as for
shame, although they knew perfectly well the means by which
I obtained money, I do assure you, sir, that by them, as by
myself, my success was regarded as the reward of a proper
ambition, and was a source of real pleasure and gratifica-
tion.

Excellenc, with Economy.

Let me tell you something of my parents. My father's
most profitable occupation was brickmaking. When not
employed at this he did anything he could get to do. My
mother worked with him in the brickfield, and sodid land
a progeny of brothers and sisters; for somehow or other,
although my parents occupied a very unimportant space in
the world, it pleased God to make them fruitful. We all
slept in the samo room. There were few privacies, few
family secrets in our house.
Father and mother both loved drink. In the household
expenses, had accounts been kept, gin and beer would have
been the heaviest items. We, the children, were indulged
occasionally with a drop, but my honoured parents re-
served to themselves the exclusive privilege of getting
drunk, " and they were the same as their parents bad
been." I give you a chapter of the history of common life
which may be stereotyped as the history of generation upon
generation.
We know not anything of religion. Sometimes when a
neighbour died we went tothe burial, and thus got within
a few steps of the church. If a grand funeral chanced to
fall in our way we went to see that, too—the fine black
horses and nodding plumes--as we went to see the soldiers
when we could for a lark. No parson ever came near us.
The place where we lived was too dirty for nicely-shod
gentlemen. " The Publicans and Sinners" of our circum-
sciibed, but thickly-populated locality had no " friend"
among them.
Our neighbourhood furnished many subjects to the tread-
mill, the hulks, and the colonies, and some to the gallows.
We lived with the fear of these things, and not with the
fear of God before our eyes.
I was a very pretty child, and bad a sweet voice ; of
course I used to sing. Most London boys and girls of the
lower classes sing. "My face is my fortune, kind sir, she
said," was the ditty on. which I bestowed most pains, and
my father and mother would wink knowingly as I sang it.
The latter would also tell me how pretty she was when
young, and how she sang, and what a fool she had been,
and how well she might have done had she been wise.
Frequently we had quite a stir in our colony. Some
young lady who had quitted the paternal restraints, or per-
haps, been started off, none knew whither or how, to seek
her fortune, would reappear among us with a profusion of
ribands, fins clothing, and lots of cash. Visiting the neigh-
bours, treating indiscriminately, was the order of the day
on such eccasions, without any more definite information
of the means by which the dazzling transformation had
been effected than could be conveyed by knowing winks
and the words " luck " and "friends." Then she would
disappear and leave us in our dirt, penury, and obscurity.
You cannot conceive, sir, how our young ambition was
stirred by these visitations.

Now commences an important era in my life. I was a
fine, robust, healthy girl, 13 years of age. I had larked with
the boys of my own age. I had huddled with them, boys
and girls together, all night long in our common haunts. I
had seen much and heard abundantly of the mysteries of
the sexes. To me such things had been matters of common
sight and common talk. For some time I had trembled
and coquetted on the verge of a strong curiosity, and a
natural desire, and without a particle of affection, scarce a
partiality,
I lost—what? not my virtue, for I never had
any. That which is commonly, but untruly called virtue,
I gave away.
You reverend Mr. Philanthropist—what call you virtue?
Is it not the principle, the essence, which keeps watch and
ward over the conduct, over the substance, the materiality?
No such principle ever kept watch and ward over me, and
I repeat that I never lost that which I never had—my
virtue.

According to my own ideas at the time I only extended
my rightful enjoyments. Opportunity was not long want-
ing to put my newly-acquired knowledge to profitable use.
In the commencement of my fifteenth year one of our be-
ribanded visitors took me off, and introduced me to the
groat world, and thus commenced my career as what you
better classes call a prostitute. I cannot say that I felt any
other shame than the bashfulness of a noviciate introduced
to strange society. Remarkable for good looks, and no less
so for good temper, I gained money, dressed gaily, and
soon agreeably astonished my parents and old neighbours
by making a descent upon them.
Passing over the vicissitudes of my course, alternating
between reckless gaiety and extreme destitution, I im-
proved myself greatly ; and at the age of 18 was living
pa.) tly under the protection of one who though he discovered
that I had tale at, and some good qualities as well a-
beauty, who treated me more kindly and considerately
than I had ever before been treated, and thus drew from
me something like a feeling of regard, but not sufficiently
strong to lift me to that sense of my position which the:eo.

Allen, a landeViner, residing on tli:eltite .which had

precluded them from dividing their bard-earned
profits. (Hear, hear.) Such was, however, the fact.
That gentleman had applied for and obtained au
injunction to restrain the company from the pay-
ment of a dividend for what he (the chairman) meet
designate as purely a landowner's—and as, such, he
might add, a selfish object. Such was, however,
the position in which the matter stood, and he
should not further advert to it, but should conclude
by moving the adoption of the report.
Mr. MATTHEWS seconded the motion.
After a short disoussion the report was adopted,
and a resolution to the effect that a preference
dividend for the last half-year be declared on the
stock and share guaranteed, the same to be paid on
and after the 11th day of March next, was put and
agreed to.
The retiring directors were then re-elected, and
after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting
adjourned to the 26th of March.
