would not only prove beneficial to the public, but be
creditable to the body of omnibus conductors and
drivers. Mr. Wyld concluded by expressing his
anxious :desire that, through such supervision, the
rank might be weeded of all improper characters,
and his confident expectation that the society would
go on and prosper.--(Cheers.)
Mr. PROCTOR having read several letters from
gentlemen who had been invited to attend the meet•
ing, but who had found themselves unable to do so,
whilst they expressed their sympathy in the cause.
Mr. SCULLY, the secretary, said although this
society had commenced in the very humblest manner,
its friends and supporters had already, within one
year from its commencement, subscribed upwards of
5001. to promote its objects. He hoped the proprie-
tors of omnibuses would come forward and aid in
carrying out the objects of the institution, seeing
that they were scarcely in a smaller degree interested
in its prosperity than their servants, for whose benefit
it was primarily set on foot. Though the support
which the proprietors gave to the society might be
trifling, yet it would show that they countenanced it,
and it would result in promoting the undertaking in
another way ; for men were ever ready to follow a
good example set them by their employers.—(Hear.)
The Rev. Dr. Bunss of Paddington, then reeved
the first resolutiioo, which was, that this meeting, gra-
tified by the success which has already attended the
efforts of the society, nod encouraged by its steadily
advancing progress, desires most anxiously the ex-
tension of its instrumentality, and to this end pledges
itself in every possible way to aid in the enlarge.
ment of its funds. He was glad, that not only omni-
bus drivers and conductors were embraced in the ob-
jects of the society, hut that those employed in the
stables connected with the running of omnibuses were
eligible for it. Tais latter class, he hesitated not to
say, were in infinitely worse condition than were the
slaves in the western states of America, and he re•
joiced that there was now an institution in existence
which had in view their improvement. He was glad
to see from the public papers that delinquencies
on the part of omnibus conductors and drivers
were not nearly so frequent as they were three or
four years ago. But, ia fact, he always considered
these cases as too highly coloured, for having travelled
by all the omnibuses in and round London, and
throughout the country, a great deal during the last
20 years, he never in the course of that time, with
three exceptions, met with the slightest incivility
from omnibus servants; but he must say that on some
of those occasions he had seen those men so insulted
and abused by people calling themselves gentlemen,
that he did not wonder at their resisting such treat-
ment.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. A. GARYET seconded the resolution, which
was supported by Mr. Josarn Parris in a humorous
speech, and having been put to the meeting by the
CuAtamA.N, was cordially agreed to.
Mr. FRANCIS GELL, from Cambridge, next moved
that Mr. Hoare, the banker, be appointed treasurer of
the society; and that Mr. Proctor, omnibus pro•
prietor, be elected secretary to the society.
Mr. CHARLES COCHRANE, in seconding the resell*.
tion, congratulated the meeting on the success which
had attended the socioty since its commencement, and
trusted it would gain strength as it proceeded. When
it was borne in mind how much they were indebted
to the class of omnibus servants, he thought it was a
duty incumbent on them to come forward and aid
them in this effort to benefit themselves. Much had
been said about the incivility of this cl, but al-
though he had travelled much by omnibus, he had
never met with such incivility; and he could with
sincerity say that, had it happened he had been in the
position of one of these men, he would not so quietly
have put up with the treatment he had seen them
receive on some occasions as they seemed to do.—
(Hear, hear.) He therefore warmly recommended
the objects of the society, which he was certain
would be of the greatest advantage both to master and
servant.—(Hear, hear.)
The resolution was then put from the chair, and
unanimously agreed to.
A cordial vote of thanks was then passed to the
Chairman, who having acknowledged the same, the
proceedings terminated.
