'IITRI%ThS OF FOREIGNERS IN DISTRESS

I,TRE third annual meeting of the Liverpool Society of
theds of Foreigners in Distress was held yesterday, in
, Clarendon-rooms. The chair was occupied by J. A.
fTobin, Esq. Mayor, and there were also present Messrs.
iends, J. A. Bencke, Boehtlingk, Frommell, Bossi, G
4.°.lt3lCunhardt, Lemonins;Mullens, Pictet, Prange, Satoess,
Lhelhaus Smith, &c.
The MA.r'oa, on taking the chair, expressed the great
fit' faction he experienced in presiding over the annual
eeting of such a society as the present, which, useful as
ht.lPtist be in any place, is peculiarly valuable in a town
;;Le Liverpool, where strangers from every quarter of the
Old are to be met with. Such a society, in his opinion,
Cse
_tved well of the community, and, as chief magistrate,
lie° 'lad great pleasure in lending it any assistance in his
ilp.r• It was calculated to be of great value in prevent-
,be successful attempts of impostors, and must be of
mat assistance in ascertaining the claims of really need-
and deserving applicants. On looking over the report,
q„Ltas in some degree surprised to find that so many
t 'man emigrants had received assistance from the funds
thisto society, as he understood a society exists at Berlin
:' investigating the condition of intending emigrants, and
this and
eta, causes, he bad been led to believe that, in most in-
likees, German emigrants were generally of a class not
(tetY to require the co-operation of this society. No
t> however, contingencies might arise in the course of
4 'el, and accidents might occur by which parties might

pal tigation of such cases, the society was efficient and

btij's of all classes. As those present were gentlemen in
abjp,l4_ss, to whom the business part of the day was

. This is owing Principally to the high prices of all necess

Zealgration and immigration to and from America ; and,
;Illy, to political events, which have cast upon the shores of
egland large numbers of Russian and Polish .sews, flying
e,°to military conscription, which weighs more heavily upon
ti7,tn than moon Christians. It will, perhaps, be satisfactory
Witte subscribers to hear that the largest portion of the ex-
nditure has been incurred in the first half year. P'
