Yesterday a meeting Of the friends of this excellent
Society took place at the Freemasons' Hall. Upwards
of 1,41,0 persons, among whom were many Noblemen
and Oentlemen of the highest distinction, were assem-
bled upon this occasion. Both the galleries and the
body of the hall were crowded with Ladies, many of
whom belonged to the Society of Friends. Among
the latter, we particularly noticed Mrs. Fry, whose ex-
ertions in the benevolent objects of this Institution are
so well known and appreciated.
At about half-past one o'clock his Royal Highness
the-Dike of OLot•casTea took the chair. His Royal
Highness shortly after addressed the meeting, and
sant; that he felt an anxious desire to testify the warm
interest which he felt for the objects of this most ex-
cellent Institution; but he was at that moment labour-
ing tinder severe indisposition, and he feared the state
of his health would not permit him to stay during the
whole of the proceedings. He could have wished to
enter into a detailed statement of the objects of the
Society, but he hid the satisfaction of reflecting that
he should be followed by an Hun. Friend, who had
devoted much of his tinse to the promotion of those
objects, and who would not only state them to the meet-
ing, hut detail also the steps which had already been
taken for the purpose of carrying them into effect. It
was a most gratifying and satisfactory reflection, that
wherever the objects of t his I nstitntion had been stated,
they had not only not met with any opposition, but
haul been uniformly received with the most cordial ap-
probation and support. His Hon. Friend would now
state to the meeting the objects of the Institution.

Mr. T. liciTO:s said: that he should have felt
some degree of embarrassment in taking so prominent
a situation on this occasion, surrounded, as he was, by
gentlemen so ninth better qualified to address the So-
ciety, if he had not happened to be acquainted with
the commencement of the Institution. It originated
with a number of gentlemen who resided in one of the
most distressed districts of the metropolis, whose be-
nevolent dispositions led them not only to afford pecu-
niary relief, but to inquire into the circumstances
which contributed to the increase of crime. They
found that a large number of children of the most ten-
der years were engaged in a regular and organized
system of crime ; and it aupeared, among other in-
stances of early depravity, that a boy of only nine years
of age had been itnplicared with a gang of delinquents,
and committed to prison upon four separate charges
within the year. 'phis was in the year 10513, mid
when he stated that in the course of one year 2,000
similar cases (lime under the notice of these gentle-
men, It would he acknowledged that these appalling
facts were calcnlated to make a deep impression. It'
was under such circumstances that these gentlemen
formed themselves into ,a Committee, and they had
continued, by six yea:sof unremitted exertion and un-'
ex.ampled sacrifices, to merit the support ind gratitude
of the public. Ile would allude to One instance of the
nature of the sacrifices nsatle by the Committee. The
house of the Secretary had been destroyed by fire, and
his whole property consumed, but with the most dis-
interested zeal for the interests of this §ociety, he had
rescued every toyer and article belonging to it from
the flames. Considerable success attended the exer-
tions of th • Cu ounitter ; but still their benevolent de-
signs would have been frustrated from the want of a
public asylum, if that 4141;4.011y had not been revved
by one of their mettibi•rs, typo, disregarding all private•
or penitential consitleratic•ti-, and influenced only by
principles of the most gem runs ind enlarged philan-
thropy, took these juvenile delinquents into his dun
house: Upon application to the Committee of the Re-
fuge for the Destitute, a p •rtion'of the buildings be-
longing to that Society was afterwards lent for the
purposes of thaelusfitution. The Committee after.'
wards emended their views to the state of the prisons
throng:limit the metropolis, a subject which had been
mmuleh negferted since theliqniries of Mr. Howard ittd

lion. Friend, M r. Bennet, it had excited considerable in-*

shionahle resort. . There was one great axiom upon'
which all their endeavonrs for fhe reforitation of pri-
son discipline hinged—tile necessity of Constlytt ens-;
ployment. Me was aware that some persons deprecated
every pl'an which had a tendency.to make prisons too

could possibly result from an attention to the comforts
of prison,rs combinei! with renalar. and constant dis-
