•
The Committee feel confident, that a more extended know-
ledge of the operations of this Society w ill insure it increased
support, from all who feel for the destitution to which the
Orphan is exposed, and reflect on the value of an Institution
which at present Maintains, Clothes, and Educates 350 Or-
phans, who with 290 who have been apprenticed, 61 who died,
and 131 given up to friends or otherwise provided for, make a
total of 822, to whom this Society has afforded an Asylum.
The attendance of the Friends of the Society and of the
Christian Public is earnestly requested.

AT a GENERAL MEETING of the HOUSE--
OWNERS' GUARDIAN SOCIETY, held at the Claren-
don Rooms, on FRIDAY, the 21st instant,
Mr. GEORGE SUMNER inn
the Chair,
Moved by his M
secondea
tithey Mr. DUCKWORTH,
Ist—That this Meeting considers duty of every person. to contribute to the Parish Fund according to his means.
Moved by Mr. JOHN CASEMENT, seconded by Mr. BANNISTER,
2nd—That there are, notwithstanding, an immense number
of persons, resident in the lower classes of property, who are
perfectly unable to pay anything toward the rate for the relief
of the poor.
Moved by Mr. Jo n s BENNETT, seconded by Mr. JoHN WHITE,
3d—That this Meeting learns with regret that the Parish
Authorities, under i'profession of collecting rates from those
only who are able to pay, are, by an indiscriminate pressure
for payment from all, entailing upon the bulk of the poor—
many of whom are all but paupers,—a vast amount of hardship
a nd severitr.
Moved by Mr. W. JONES, seconded by Mr. HOLMES,
4th—That such a course cannot, in the opinion of this Meet-
ing, have bean adopted for she purpose of justly augmenting
the Parish Funds, but rather for the purpose of annoying the
Cottage owner, through the person of his tenant, into a corn_
promise with the Parish authorities for and on behalf of his
'tenant.
Moved by Mr. WM. ROXBURGH, seconded by Dr. BRADLEY,
sth—That under these circumstances, while disclaiming any
intention or desire of interposing between the authorities and
their tenants, the Houseowners of Liverpool resolve not to enter
into any such unconstitutional compromise.
The Office of this Society is REMOVED to Mr. ROXBUROH'S,
1, North John-street, where Non-Members are earnestly re-
quested to enrol themselves, and where every information may
be obtained.
