fret. alt inteecourso with those who would in all pre-
lability be great garters by the communication.
In'the account laid before the Committee foreign
seamen were not. forgotten. It was stated that Uteri
were 59 foreigners. besides those of, Worm, who
amounted to 48 ; and there was an unanimous de-
claration, that those who could not be provided Alb
ships, and who wertoot very acceptable in their owe
countries as Bird snits upon pablic support, in cense-
titmice of having Toeght for England, should be con-.
sidered in the light of Englishmen.
There appeared in a Sunday Paper a Letter. la
which the conduct of the Committee wee attacked.--
That Letter was noticed upon this occasion, and
declared to be a most gross falsehood. It related to'
the application of a black man for relief, which it
asserted was denied, end contained some comments
upon the cruelty stated as having accompanied that
denial. There appeared a vary general feeling of in-
dignation amongst the Committee against the author
of the mis.statement.
Whatever attacks they might be subject to from
misapprehension on the part of others, or error open
theirs, they congratolated themselves upon the un-
deniable fact, that they were instromental to the re-
lief of many poor fellows, who were now almost safely
over the winter, and would have opportunities very
soon of serving themseltes. After all necessary lo.*
vestigation, those who were unable to re-enter the
service should be sent home, in the event of the re.
'fusel 'of Government to 'take awn under its imme-
diate protection. The opinion of many was, that all
of those who ere able to engage in active service will
be disposed of in six 'seeks.
Mr. Lv4SLL repeated his objection to the Plan,
and asked whether those seamen were provident or
metal ?
Capt. FRATIELAND adstitted that seamen were in
the habit of losing their money on coming oo coming
into port. They thought nothing of it, and it was
of very little consequeuce to them formerly, for as
soon as it wes gene, they went ou board again. The
case was different now—their money probably went
the same way, but there did not mast the same oppor-
tunities of replacing it by -a return to labour.
The Loan MAYOR begged that no distinctions
should be drawn between those who were in service
and those who were not. It ccold answer no good
purpose.
Mr. LYALL said, he was not thinking of distinc-
tions. He merely meant that those men shoald not
be employed to die prejudice of others.
A Resolution was passed, signifying that the num-
ber stated above were received on board the ships fitted
up for the perpnse, and appointing the 14th of Fe-
bruary the last day of admission, eacept to those who
labour ender bodily defect or infirmity.
It was also determined to apply to the Admiralty
to grant relief to such of the seamen as were unfit
tor service; and a Select Committee was appointed
to consider those several Resolutions, and report
thereon. _ _ _

It was likewise resolved, that it should be the duty
of a Special Committee to consider the most proper
means of employing the seamen while on board the
reception ships.
Thanks having been voted to the Lord Mayor, the
Meeting separated.
The expences attending the Plan amounted to up-
wards of 8001. a week.

dryness of the winter, are in a forward state for thin Oat
sowing than has been button for loamy years- Clover tired
rises badly in must counties.. The Turnips continue sound, and
full of present feed, bat this may ones begin to ton, front the
mildness of the weather. The Ripe
.pLiots stand well for seed.

is higher fur all sorts. Lean-stock of most Models scarce, par-
ticularly for stock Sheep. The Ihrrsetshire Sucks are lambing
down kindly. Store Pigs are very dear. Cart Hones are much
iademaud. particularly Cults that are full of bone. Smithfield
