MEETING AT:THE MANSION•HOU~E.

DISTRESSED MANUFACTURERS OF SPIT? LFIELDS.

Yesterday a Meeting was convened at the Man-
sion-house, for the pnrpoie of promoting Sub-
seriptione in aid of the Charitable Institutions for
iheltelici:of. the DistreAsed Manufacture's of Spi-
talfields, and the other north-east districts of Lon-
don. I3y half-past one o'clock the Egyptian-ban,
which was allowed by the Lord Mayor for the ac-
commodation of the Meeting, Wes nearly filled.
Seats were reserved for the Ladies, a considerable
number of whom attended, particulaily of the So,
ciety of Friends.
At two o'clock the LORD AfAYott entered the
Ilan, took the chair, and opened the hitiitiness of
the Meeting. fie began by expressing his:hap-
piness at seeing so numerous and so respectable a
Meeting, especially when he considered the bene-
volent:and praise-worthy object which called them
together. On no oceasiog was the claim more
urgent on thei, compassion and liberality of the
rich than that which would be presented on the
part of the districts whose sofferines the subseril)-
tions this day to be recommended were intended
to relieve, which comprehended not only the pat-
visit of Spite'fields, but the north-east quarter of
the metropolis. The scene of misery atm distress
,vas extensive, and entirely without the means of
relief within itself. The utmostliberality that coold
be expected could only produce a slight
for in thegeneral state of ove,t yand misery in whieb
all classes were placed,a complete remedy could not
be found. Our Poor Laws had for their object to
procure the means of 6ubbiStellee to those who
were unable by their..own exertions to earn them,
and had in practice the effect of. preventing any
one frpm dying for want of food but until lately
their full operation was happily never required,
and a laudable feeling of pride ma,de many preter
privation and sull'ering to an applieatiou for parish
assistance.. Lie was of opinion that this leellog
should still be encouraged, and that the best Way
of assisting the pour wouid be to their
hniepentleut spirit, together witl;.l.4leie indastvions
habit's ; and by providing fur them the 10111)S of
labour, to, teach them to believe that they assisted
themselves. Mar.y, thoirsaods, he was persuaded,
were willing. to labour to preherve themselyes from
pauperism, if they could. be etoplyyed at any rat,
of roma:ration which WOttll admit of their earn-
ing the means of subsistence, and that they would
,cure 11100)41,A to any thing rather then become
ohjeCts of gratuitous charity. lle had no doubt
that the Ciettoittve of the Association who called
the present ,Nleeting for the relief, of their dis-
tressed neighbours, wouldbe glad, to listen to any
hints by wbiebAbeir ,bounty tuioht be expeudgd
-

SO aq to etteilolllo lahonr ss ii le it supported intlis
geuce. bora sa.p proissster that he was

etteuttra4e idls 'less or pitnnote p7tupe tied
his reflections had been much uiteeted to the ,
meeite Of alleviating the pressere of the tittles
whittles doing either. His bitualion. ciposed him
to witness many instances of distress, and daily
pressed on his mind plans for rennieitig or alle-
viatingit. He was sometimes in the habit of
seedillg 30 or 40 a-day from Lontlen.to their pa,
rishes4 and it was extremely distressing to him
to•think, that he Inuit. eidter burden the county
with the expences of iheir transport, or send them
home %with on order imposed 00 the pa-
pat ishes through which they passed the charges of
their notiotenauce. With respect to the employ-
ment of the poor in some sort of labour by which,
while they were receiving. national assistance, they
niighi be increasing th;-1. national resources, he had
tholight'Of ManYVans, oue or two, of which he
might Mention to the Meetings .fle had made a
representation to the Mitsisters .cm one of those
plans, to which Intle attention had been puid.--
He had Suggested that 50,000 acres tsf waste lanii
might be brought into celtivation, by which 20,000
men might- be, ,employed. They might be set at
work with a soma expence, aod, in a short time
would cease to cost the country a farthieg,_ while
they were increasing its produce. Ile had turned
his attention to the best means of relieving those
distressed manefacturers whbin this day's charity
was intended to RlSitit ; and he was led to suggest,
that a subscription of one pound from every indi-
vidual able to contribute, for the purchase of the
goods manufactured in Spiral fields, would be the
most beneficial charity. This collection would form
a fund for the purchase of the articles that now
found no market ; and every subscriber would re-
ceive the value of. his subscription at the place of
his residence, with no other condition than that
he took Spitalfields goods, thus employing the
manufacturer without injuring the shopkeeper or
the retail merchant. His Lordship next alluded
to a species of employment by which the means
of subsistence might be provided fora consider-
able number of the destitute poor, and us the cold
eettson was advancing, -a considerable saving of
tuet. might be effected. He had scot, -when be
was in Wales, a species of mixture which pro-
duced a good fire. made of clay snd coals, two
parts of the former to one of the latter. The ma-
nufacture of this article might employ a. good
onniber of hands. - Mud for the purpose might
be easily obtained front the Themes, and the
approaching winter would create a ready market,
while the poor themselves would be stipplied
with fuel (which he was told lit a letter he had
received to-day was its good as coke) at tt cheaper
rate than forme' ly. The Lord Mayor said he had
thrown out these hints,. as he 4seliessiti in doing so
he might be making useful suggestions, and was
sure it least that--in offering then fruit of his relivetioni, divested to such objeeps, lie was complying
with the spirit of the Spitalfields Associations, and
was acting in uniimewitlethe feeling of rite Meet-
ing. Labour must he found, or general distress
must ensue. No poor rate short at a general and
oppressive burden on the country could at present
alleviate to any extent the miseries of the la-
honring and manufacturing classes. Before he
sat down he could not help adverting to one thing,
on which be thought there was a general and a
groundless complaint. We had heard mach clas
tuour on the high price of the articles of subsist-
ence-, used the exorbitant profits' exected byrbut.s
chers amid hikers ; but if there really was ally
cause for this clangour, it might easily be checked
or- removed. Encouragement might be given to
those who sold at reasonable rates, anti those
who did otherwise should he deserted. FOE that
purpose, he would recommend to all who now
heard him to go to the markets themselves, and
not intrust the purchases for their families to-their
servants. They would 'thus see with: their own
eyes who was the honest- and reasonable butcher
or baker ; anti by encouraging such, would force
ell to imitate their example, and sell as cheaply
as they coold do consistently with a proper remu-
neration for-their own labour, and a reasonable
interest for their capital in trade. This'wes the
practice he himself Inllowed, and he found it ex-
tremely useful in beiog supplied cheaply and hos
*lotus lily. Ile had nothing mitre to detain the
Matting with present, and would now propose
that they should proceed. to the besiness of its
esseetbling, with -a recommendation that, as pit
was called for the purposes of charity, nothing
but charity should be heard from the lips of arose
who meant to addiesi its-s-(Applattse.)
The Lotto MAYOR then eallatl on the Secretary
of the Spitellielde Association to read the Report
prepared for the occasion.
Mr. 3. J.lanerea 'then proceeded: to read this

The Report 'coneloded by a forcible description
of the sulieriogs of the poor in this district, and
the alarming increase of pauperism alining th'
immble manufacturers, whose looms, worki,4
tools, and other impletnents of trade, were In
most instances disposed of for subsistence, and
the people themselves actually deprived of everi
means of prolonging existence.
The Secae.TAtor was proceeding co reril azn ac-
count of particular cases of time nAst. poignant
distress which passed before the Committee, when
it was intimated by
The LORD MAYOR, and approved of by the
Meeting, that a detail of individual cases of dis.
trees and starvation was quite tioneeessiny on the
present occasion, front the notoriety oh the fact.
The SECRETARY llieat tOnchutlC'd by stating, that
an application for relief had been made by the
Committee to Government, who kindly scut them

preetically proved, fleet any extension of the pre-
sent assessment, instead of adding to the number
of the contributors, only served to swell the list
'of those who were driven to the necessity of tip-
plying for relief. The utter inability of the
inure wealthy. ittbahitants of this district to
supply the watt ts of these famished multitudes
was aggravated by a general depression of foreign
trade, at which, however, they did not repine,
regatoling it as one of the consequences of peace,
an event so propitious to the general interests of
the colliery. To one circentstance, however. he

of kindred: But the wretchedeess 'Which he had
described had produced an insensibility to these
things ; the poor-house was looked at with en-
vy, as the only asylum against the calamities of
itlidn Ciliate want, and an active competition bad
been awakened for the ptivileg,e ut acitnission.—
(Applensele-elt was not, however, to be inferred,

could perhaps bear himeelt firmly up against the

Let it be recollected, too, that importunity often

Mr. ALERS observed, that the occasion upon
which this Meeting was convened was most dis-
tressitig to every man who telt for the sufferings
and miseries of his fellow creatures, The judg-

had not themselves sought relief,hut their sinferines
had been discovered thtengh the 'henevoleot and
tirdttotts application of Mr. Buxton and others,
'Who hall so meritoriously exerted themselves in so
good a cause. They had not been abroad amoug,

minds of theie fellow-cemetrynreit they had not

ployers' property ; butt they had peacefully and,

was now eppareet by the behaviour of these intli-
vidnals, and it was a lesson fought to the coat-
munity at large' which never eltould be forgotten,
that it was poSsible to endure distress without, be-
ing drivel* to ferocity, anti that it was not neces-
sary to have recourse to those violent measures,
itt order to obtain an alleviation of their Nisfor—

;ones, They had applied to atir feeling.: and one
judgment—they had trusted to their Divine Crea-
tor, and had noW foetid that they had not sought
in•totin. He -hopes! that the Meeting would hold
out another lesson to the country of equal im-
portance, and show that such modest and decent
behaviour should not pass without meeting its
just reward. This was the only means to obtain
sympathy for their sufferiogs such conduct Ile-
served the highest praise, and the highest reWard,
lie ti listed that the generosity of. the institution
which had been so lioniMurably entered into would
hold out. that most important lesson, and by that
means not only benefit the afflicted, but those
who might one day or other be placed in the same
situation. If his feeble voice could reach so far
as those wretched hovels where -misery reigned
alone triumphant, he would tell those unhappy
people to persevere in the honest path they had
chosen, and to trust in their God : their prayers
had heen heard, and they would be rewarded. The
Almighty God, from whom mill good arose, had
listened, and they might be certain that their dis-
tresses would be alleviated. Under this•convic-
tion, and entertaining theSe ideas, he had great
honour in-seconding the first Resolution, that the
Report just read be agreed to.
The question was put, and it was agreed to una-
nimously. -
Mr. liat E said, that in coming forward to ad-
dress the Meeting, its proposiug the second reso-
requiriug an immediate subscription, he felt
as much as any Man the importance of the occasion
'on which it was-convened. Ile- was perfectly well
aware that there existed more distress in the dis-
trict of SpitallieldS-than had been ever recorded in
the pages of history, and that upon the benevo-
lence of this Met Ting depended the welfare and
happiness of many hundred families who were now
literally starving in' their wretched- hovels. He
tea,. happy to see that so much 'pains IW been
taken, and so many exertions had been made to al-
leviate these distresses, and that at last the right
rouse had been taken tolifford relief, us well as to
wove- the industry of these poor individuals, who
were ready nod willing to work ift hey could find any
thing to do. He believed that the fact really was,
that in the quarter of Spitelfields time principal part
of the poor of the metropolis was congregated.
NVith respect to the poor-rates, it had already
been justly remarked, that it was a thing impos-
sible to increase them : the poor housekeeper who
was now rated could give but a very small pittance,
Rod perhaps requited nearly as much himself as
those to whose relief he was subscribing the money
which was to purchase the subsistence of himself
and his family. The poor laws Of Queen Eliza-
beth' had been framed with much caution and deli-
beration; but yet such was the present extreme dis-
tress, that the poor of Spitalfields were left without
relief t o struggle with their poverty. They werevisit-
ed—their case was investigated ; but the overseer
leaves these wretched beings with the painful re-
flection, that the small pittance he afforded from
the parish was not sufficient to purchase food for
.their subsistence. The only proper remedy, then,.
for these evils, was to increase the labotir ; not by
giving donations, which would alone tend to the
increase of idleness ; by this means the hungry
would be fed, and the naked would he clothed.
The money collected would be placed in the
bands, of the Committee of Association, which
would apply it in such a manner as would supply
the urgent wants of the indigent but indostri,us
poor. He .concluded with moving the second re-
solution, • that subscription be
~opened imme-
diately for the relief.* the poor in the district of
Spitalfields and its vicinity.
Mr. Joststt NATI. felt great pleasure in second-
ing the motido. So much hail already, been said
upon this most interesting subject, that he con-
ceived it necessary for him to say but it few words,
which would be chiefly applied to the considera-
tion of the temper and spirit with which this very
large portion 'of time people in the metropolis bore
their unparalleled and unexampled distresses. This
he could nor but admire, and it never should be
forgotten. The Spitatfields Benevolent Society
had paid 15,000 visits to the chambers of mlies,
poor people ; and lie halt to state with pleasure,
that out of the two thousand-two hundred pounds
Collected by that society, not one farthing had been
spent hut on the spot, and in the sight of the
wants and miseries of these victims of wretched-
ness. There was a resignation to, Divine Proyi.
dence apparent in every family, and in every
countenance : religion had taken deep root among
them, and bad taught them ° hear their sufferings
with hope and resignation to the will of Him who
knew all their wants. All this arose from the
ltnntvledge of the Holy Scriptures, which had
been so meritoriously spread abroad by that, ex-
cellent institution the Bible Society,. as wall as
other societies of a similar nature, and urged by a
similar feeling,.tbe endeavours to improve the mo-
rats of their fellow-creatures. However the neet-
ing might differ about the cause and origin
of these miseries, no one doubted but that
they existed, and all came by the .hand. of
Divine Providence. Although we were shield-
ed• from the destructive (sword of war, femine.
existed ; and it became the imperious duty of every.
Englishman, by .economy, and retrenchment, Hto
do all in his power to. alleviate the-slistresses of
his fellow-countrymen. All men should lay their
Bands and hearts together in the common caosei
and he sincerely hoped that the present would be
the first of a series of meetings called together to
lieve the distressed poor, and that they would go on,
without ceasing, until the desired and long-wished
for end were accomplished. There were many
hundred labourers who could not get employ:-
ment,and who were literally starving, with their.
Wives and families, without the least prospect of
helping then! by their exertions. There were -at
•present, out of. fifteen thousand looms in the.dia-
trict, ten thousand laid by unused, and not less
than forty-fiVe thousand persons were out of em-
plOy. It had been remarked, • that the labouring
poor had been turned off from every establishment;
and, depressed and dejected, they had sought for,
relief in the city. They had done their utmost
for themselves, and now sought relief front others,
to save the starvation of their wives and families.
It was evident that Providence designed by this
Meant to exercise the benevitlence of the rich,
and to try the temper and patience of the poor suf-
ferers. He that came from heaven to save,-acted
the pail of a father to the world, giving to all who.

'lest-rya to Inc rematled ; and who woniti not de-
sire to become his -disciple, and follow ;the steps
of his Saviour I He, therefore, with great cordi-'
ality, would second the motion. (A paper was
at this moment put into the hands of Mr. Pratt,
and -he continued.) A piiper has just been hand-
ed to, me by the Reverend 'Mr. Yates, which
I have great pleasure in. reading to yott. It
is from a benevolent female, (Mrs. Price, of
Chelsea,) who has subscribed to forward the ob—
jects of this Meeting one bundled pounds.--•-(Great
Applause.)—He hoped the same example would be
followed' by the rest of her sex, who were at all
times so liberal in cases of distress to distribute
their bounty to the ailicted. Before he sat down
he would make one other remark Only. He did
not think that there was any class of persons who
were more proper to be called upon on the present
occasion to assist the labouring poor than the do-
mestic servants, who tnight come forward with
small contributions, and be a very great assistance.
It should be recollected that these sd.....vants of the
hothehold were fed, and wages reguittly paid to
then) ;so that they never could be s-aid to want
ay these means, even if the contributions were ex-
tremely small, yet in some degree it would assist
in feeding the hungry anti clothing the naSt d.
He wished this point at least to be taken into con-
sideration. _ _

The Reinlotion for an immediate subscription
was then read, and agreed to unanimously.
Mr. llsrataaT proposed that a Committee, con-
sisting of the Lord Mayor and several othei Mem-
bers, whose names were read, be formed for the
purpose of apportioning the subscriptions collect-
ed iu consequence of the present meeting among
the different Charitable Associations organized for
distributing it. He thought it superfluous to
make any observations after • what had been
already said, and would not take up the time
of the Meeting, which might be much better
employed. He. was 'one of those who thought
that the Association of the London Tavern was
formed neither at the proper time, nor on the
proper plan. • It was too much for one Aociety
to thilik of relieving a whole kingdom. Local so-
cieties seemed most fitted for effectual assistance,
but he regretted to see that they met With so
little patronage, from those whose aid might in-
crease their funds, and whose example might ex-
tend their influence. Ile would have desired to
have seen in the present Meeting, supporting the
worthy Chief Magistrate, some of the Directors
of the Bank of England, and more of the poli-
tical characters of the City. lie would wish
to ssee men of influence, When they retire to
their estates in the country, throwing their exer-
tions into the general means of alleviating
dis-
tress, stimulating anti itivigoratitm,iocal associa-
tions. When the country was tfilkatened with a
formidable and implacable enemy from without,
the common danger united all hearts and hands
in its defence, and the exertions of all brought us
out of the contest in triumph. Now we were
threatened with a more dangerous enemy from
within, in that distress which, by being aggravat-
ed into despair, might end in disturbing the peace
or hastening the ruin of the nation ; and we ought
to be equally zealous and united in contriving and
applying the means of safely. If to want and
scarcity was added a severe winter, there might
be occasion for the exertions of the wisest aod
mast patriotic to prevent discantent from show-
ing itself in a manner destructive of our happiness,
if not of Our ultimate security. The Meeting had
heard the feeling and eloquent description of the
distresses of Spitalfields. He did. not helierowben
he first heard of them, that they could in reality
exist to the extent mentioned, because be did not
think that human beings conki live tinder such
complicated misery : but he had himself yester-
day visited the District, and he was prepared to
believe all, though no language could express the
half.—(Applause.)
Sir Tuomxs BELL seconded the resolution nam-
ing the Committee.
Mr. MOSIRIS gave an account of the exertions of
the society for thedisttibution of soup in Spital-.
fields, &c. of,. the origin of the society., of the
numbers of persons it had supplied., of the funds
it expended in some of the years of greatest dis-
tress, and of the4tantity of soup distributed on
the morning of the meeting. The number of fa-
milies who applied to the public kitchen on the
day of the meeting was 3,400, 200 of whom could
not be served.

The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution,
which was carried unanimotisly.
Mr. BUTTERWORTH begged to propose a vote
of thanks to the Gentlemen who had signed the
requisidon which had led to the present meeting.
He took the present opportunity of saying, that
the Gentlemen engaged in the silArale had, not
withstanding its depressed state, 'held a meeting
last Week to consider of some means of relieving
the poor journeymen, and bad subscribed a sum
of 1,500/. This sum had been partly expended
in the purchase of 300 chaldrons of coals to be
distributed amongst the poor.—(A pplause.) —With
regard to the soup society, he must do them the
justice to say, that of the, kind it was the best
conducted Le had ever known. Its merit was not
confined to the judiciontness of its distribution,
-but consisted also in the real goodness of the
Soup, in support of which he might safely appeal
to no I-lon. Baronet (Sir W. Curtis), who was an
admirable judge of such matters.—(A laugh.)
The benevolent society was also entitled to, the
amplest acknowledgments ; many ot them were
unknown to the public, but their record was on
high. He knew members of it, who, after reit•
ing from the fatigues of the day's business, spent
their evenings in visiting the alleys and cellars ot
the poor, anti often ministering to their bodily
wants, in providing for the education of their
children.

Sir W. Cuterts seconded the motion, and ex-
pressed his sense of the notice taken of himself-,
though the occasion WAS of that nature, that he
hardly knew how to smile at it. The Resolution
was then put, anti carried.
Mr. MARRY ATT, congratulated the Meet-
ing on its abstinence from ell political feelings,
they bting absorbed in those of humanity had
charity. He moved the Thanks of the Meeting
to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, for his
promptitude in convening the Meeting, and for
his Conduct in the Chair.

Mr. Altteram ATKINS ICCOridCii the

sod pAid some high compliments to psi,.
proceeding to contrast the conduct of
those fur whose relief they were about to pro-
vide, with that of the Spafields Meeting, whose
only object was disorder and invective against
their Governors, when he was interrupted by
hisses, and cries of "no politics." The Motion
of Thanks being then carried unanimously,
The Loan MAYOR, in expressing his acknow.
ledgment, took occasion to observe, that it was
alway a source of satisfaction to his own mind to
find himself the instrument of accomplishing any
good. He believed with regard to the idea which
had been thrown out., that u contribution of one
penny from every household servant would pro-
duce a fund of several thousand pounds. Another
very effectual way of contributing would be
by the gift of old clothes, which the Committee
of Cie Soup Society h Spitalfields would be bar
py to receive. Perhaps the Lidies might be in-
duced, during the high price of grail', to imitate
his example, in prohibitin4 the use of puddings
and pies, till the price of the quartern loaf shoula
be reduced to a shilling. He called opt] all to
lend their active assistance to the Magistriaes,
form themselves into small local associations, and
to bring those distressing objects %ski, whom the
public streets and bridges were crowded belote
the Magistracy, that their real wants and slow'
tion might be inquired into. Itjbese exertions
were generally made, the time might soon arrive.
when not a single pauper should be seen Wan*
deriog in the metropolis.
'J he subscription then commenced, and a very
considerable sum was given brlot e assembly
separated.
