THE LATE FIRE IN LAMBETH

---
The great distress into which nearly 100 young
women in the employ of Messrs. Nickels and Co.,
Indiarubber- web-manufacturers, have been plunged by
this calamity, was mentioned some days ago in this
journal.. A subscription in aid of a fund for affording
these poor creatures some temporary assistance until
Messrs. Nickels's premises are rebuilt has since been
opened, and contributions have been solicited in
various quarters. It is to be regretted that the ap-
peal has been only very partially responded to, and
the amount in hand will hardly suffice to keep want
from the threshold of many deserving families during
the next fortnight. An application was made, among
others, to Mr. Sidney Herbert, and that gentleman
in reply at once consented to place a certain number
of the younger women on the list of emigrants to be
immediately dispatched to the colonies, under the
auspices of tle society of which he is
ithe benevolent
founder. It is a significant fact, however, that on
the question being put to the workwomen by a mem-
ber of Messrs. Nickels's firm, not one of the whole
number would consent to leave her native land. That
this unwillingness to emigrate arises solely from the
difficulty of severing the tie which binds
even the poorest classes to the home of
their birth is evident from the fact that a
more helpless class of women can scarely be found
than this. Many of them have worked for
Messrs. Nickels's firm for periods of 10, 12, and 16
years, and, being quite unable to undertake any other
handiwork, the sudden cessation of their ordinary
employment has thrown them for the time into a
hopeless state of destitution. The clergy of the
parish of Lambeth have taken up the case, and two
of them were present on Saturday when a distribution
of the funds in hand was made at Messrs. Nickels's
factory in York-street. The Rev. Abraham Peat,
incumbent of All Saints' District Church, where the
late factory stood, preached yesterday on the subject,
and after an eloquent discourse, in which he forcibly
pointed out the distressing consequences of the late
fire, a collection was made, and he ,announced his
readiness to receive contributions from all charitably-
disposed persons. The calamity was also alluded to
by the minister of the Independent Chapel in the
York-road, where a collection was made in aid of the
fund. Another appeal, arising out of the same
catastrophe, on behalf of the workmen employed by
Mr. Myers, the builder and contractor, who lost the
whole of their tools in the late fir?, has been some-
what more liberally responded to, though only a small
sum in comparison with the value of the property has
yet been obtained. This is a matter, however, of less
importance, as, owing to the resources of Mr. Myers,
not a single workman has been thrown ont of em-
ployment.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.
THE PAUPER CHILDREN.
There was a crowded meeting of the vestry on Sa-
turday to consider the propriety of removing the chil-
dren from the workhouse to an agricultural industrial
school.

The proposal was approved by Mr. JosErn, and
supported by Air. WILSON
Mr. HUME, M.P., objected to the proposal, because
even the Government was opposed to the establish-
ment of manufacturing establishments by public bo-
dies, as they interfered with the wages of the indus-
trious classes, and because it would incur an expense
which would have to be defrayed by the ratepayers.
The Rev. Mr. GURNEY and the Rev. Mr. BARING
wished to see the pauper children brought up in an
industrial establishment, apart from the workhouse, in
order to remove them from the contamination of
evil example.
Mr. WILLIAMS opposed the scheme in tote, assur-
ing the vestry that the children in the workhouse
were better cared for and better educated than those
brought up in many metropolitan boarding-schools.
Finally, the proposal was rejected on a division, by
35 votes to 13.

REPEAL OF THE WINDOW TAX.—The following
notice of motion has been given by Mr. Anderton, and
stands for discussion in the Court of Common Council
on the next court-day, which is to be held on the 28th
instant:—" That the tax upon windows is an unjust and
unrighteous ttx, being an impost upon the air and light
of heaven, depriving a large majority of her Majesty's
subjects in England, Scotland, and Wales, of those bless•
inge of Providence so essentially necessary for their
health and comfort, and ought t) be abolished. That it

is a tax partial in its operation, being chargeable only
upon a portion of the United Kingdom, and is oppressive
upon shopkeepers and tradesmen, as well as upon the
poor, and prevents those sanitary measures of ventila-
tion, air, and light, being effected so freqaently recom-
mended by the health of towns commission, confirmed
by the Government,rand recognised by the Legislature in
the provision contained in the Act of the 7th and Bth of
her present Majesty, cap. 84, intituled An Act for
Regulating the Construction and Use of Buildings in the
Metropolis and its Neighbourhood.' That the court do
present a petition to Parliament to abolish the tax upon
windows, and that it be referred to the Parliamentary
Committee to prepare such petition, and report thereon
to this court for approval." -
HYDROPHOBIA IN ♦ HOBSP.—A case of this na-
ture occurred to a mare, the property of Mr. Shawcrose,
of Gorton, on Monday last. The animal, on being put
to work, snapped at and attempted to bite the man, and
showed other symptoms of such an alarming nature that
she was put into the stable. again. During the day she
attacked and nearly worried a donkey and bit several
men who were attending to her. She got so much
worse that Mr. Moore, veterinary surgeon, of Downing-
street, was called in between one and two o'clock on
Tuesday morning, and he unhesitatingly pronounced her
to be labouring under the above dreadful malady, and
cautioned the men in attendarce to be aware how they
approached her. She got gradually worse, and attacked
whatever object she could lay hold of, and so great was
the force with which thesis attacks wet• made, that the
upper jaw was extensively fractured, and several teeth
knocked out. Death relieved her from her dreadful suf-
ferings about twelve o'clock. The wounds inflicted on
the donkey were excised and cauterised by Mr. Moore,
and as yet no symptoms of madness have been deve-
loped.—Manchester Courier.
t kTHE COuNT VON WLADISLAW.—The publicity
which we gave last week to the doings of the " Count,"
as a patron of the trade of South Staffordshire, has been
the means of our being furnished with a few particulars
of his previous career in the swindling line. He was at
Newcastle-on-Tyne a few months back, in his capacity
of agent for the Cracow Railway, and amongst other
orders gave one for 14 locomotives, upon the strength
of which he managed to obtain 23/, by way of loan,
until his remittances from Germany came to hand, from
the person to whom ho gave the order. His " Count-
ship' was also at Sheffield shortly afterwards distribut-
ing his favours in the usual way ;,and from a manufac-
turer there he managed to obtain 201., placing in his
bands, as security fur the amount, a packet, which he
said contained valuable bills to an enormous amount, but
on being openei its contents were found to consist of
waste paper. This affair caused him to be taken into
custody, but it was found that nothing could be done to
him, and he was discharged, as at Bilston last week.
Some time previously the " Count" was a guest at the
tables of some of the principal merchants in Glasgow,
and the contracts he entered into there were so enormous
that they had the effect of raising the price of iron in
the unukey.—,Birmingham ,burns(.

EXT yEAR'S EXHIBITION

The changing months are rolling by,
And Fifty-one is drawing nigh,
When every nation of the earth
Will give some mighty project birth ;
When works from cash surrounding nation
• Will form one vast amalgamation.
Dow vast the project thus designed
By Albert's comprehensive mind ;
And oh ! how likely to impart
An impulse to the dullest heart.
Moses, in next year's exhibition
Will occupy a high position.
While tens of thousands flock to see
, Ten thousand proofs of industry,
While works of science, works of art,
• A wonder and delight impart,
Moses and Son's attire will be
Distinguished proofs of industry,
And Eighteen Hundred Fifty-one
Will spread the fame of M. and Son, •
And show them as the first in trade,
As they have ever been displayed,
And add (while thus it spreads their fame),
"Pro toto orbe" to their name.
