THE S'rATESI

ti I 3 GC) D N SOCIETY.
142+4 th n&altieheral Meeting of the above
important Society. was held in the Egyptian Hall of
the Mansion House. It has for its laudable object the
providing a temporary asylum, with suitable employ-
ment, for female. who have deviated from the paths of
virtue, and who have either been removed, by the ope-
ration of the laws, from the public streets, or have
been awakened by conscience, to a sense of their guilt
or danger. The Chair was to have been taken at
one o'clock, by the Lord Mayor, but his Lordship at
that time sent as apology, stating that public business
would detain him for a short period. The Meeting,
which was highly respectable, but not very numerous,
waited with' impatience the presence of his Lordship.
who, on eating the Chair, made an apology for having
kept so respectable a Meeting beyond the appointed
time.

-----
The Report was then read, and detailed at some
length the exertions of the Committee in seconding
the views of the Society. Since the establishment of
the Society, 649 women have been received iato the
asylum,, of whom 364 bare been restored to their
Mends, or placed in service; and 46 are now under
the Society's care.
The following statement from last year's Report
will give an idea of the good the Society has accom-
plished:— •
The Committee have great satisfaction in reporting,
that since the last Report, 141 females have been ad-
mitted into the Guardian Asylum on their own applica-
tion; 42 being then in the boon; making, together,
183; of whom 36 have been restored to their friends;
32 provided for in service; 7 seat to their respective
parishes; 2 died; 61 dismissed, or have withdrawn;
and 46 are now in the house.—Makieg the total som-
ber of females received into the Asylum, since she form-
ation of the Institution, 372; of whom, 153 have been
placed in services; 133 restored to their friends; 32
sent to their respective parishes; 196 discharged, or
have withdrawn; 7 have died, and 46 are now in the
house.
The Committee have also the pleasure to remark, that
of those young women who have gone from seder the
cars of this Institution, either to their friends or to ser-
vice, there is certain information that many have become
valuable members of society, and have, it may be hoped,
been permanently rescued from shame sod misery.
Funds of the Society, by which the necessary expenses
were sustaised, have been as follows—The Donations,
Annual Subscriptions, sod Collections, during the pat
year, have amounted to 1,1611.13 a. 80. The predate
of the work done in the Asylum, during the same period,
was 2021. 17s. 6 d., making the total Receipts,
1,364/. lis.3d. The Disbursements during the past
year have amounted to 1.4071. 11.0., being an excess of
expenditure above the Receipts, is the sues 0f421. 91.9 d,

At the conclusion of reading of the Report,

The Rey. DAVID &MIL roe, and said bete& no re-
luctance in moving that the Report should be printed,
&c., when lie considered-it would materially tend to
aid the great and glorifies week they were engaged is.
After eulogising the Report, the Rev. ()oedemas re-
marked on the law sot being able to prevent the evil
complained of, and asked if committing females to pri-
son produced any refocus,. Seventy-tree persons of
the description the Society relieved, he observed, were
discharged lately at the Smokes. Bo moldered the
I imitation not eely so lionevoleet, het impanierf and
it would be impossible to produce any reformation but
for a Society like the present. It might be said the
evil was too extensive and large to be ebolisbed, bet it
was possible to hide and diminish it, and he know no
mode so proper as Societies like the one they were met
to celebrate. Could they de better fur the morals of
society than to restore the Prodigal to the paths of
virtue, and thus follow the example of our SAVIOUR ?
The Rev. Gentleman, after many able remarks ea the
subject, sat down amidst loud plaudits., by moving the
first Resolution.

The Rev. Mr. MORTON, in seconding the motion,
said in confine. forward to advocate the claims of a So-
ciety so excellent in its nature, he seed not say much,
particularly after the address of his Reverend Friend,
whose situation gave him much experience. It was
pleasing to see the first Magistrate in the first city is
the world patronize a society like the one he was up-
holding. When criminals came before his Lordship,
they were tried by law, but here they were tried by
the Gospel.—(Applause.)—The Rev. Hentlentan, is a
most eloquent speech, earnestly entreated the Meeting
to give their pecuniary support to the Society, and not
to talk, but perform charitable offices, for the Society
was one which they ought to uphold; it was excellent
in its operation, and economical is its concerns; for
each individual in the Asylum was not atmore expense
than Ss. W. per week. After complimenting the Lord
Mayor on his support to the Society, and again calling
on the Meeting for their aid, the Rev. (Indianan con-
cluded by seconding the motion, having previonsly
placed his guinea on the table.
The Rev. Mr. Rueil here presented Si. to the Society,
the gift of a Lady.
The motion was then put from the chair, and car-
ried unanimously.
The Rev. John Morrison, W. Stretton, Esq., the
Rev. Mr. James, and other Hestleis.% addressed the
Meeting in able speeches, and instanced several cues
to show the utility of the Society.
The grateful thanks of the Meeting were voted to
his Royal Highness the Dake of Sussex and the
Duchess of Wellington, the Patron and Patroness of
the Society. _ _ _

The acknowledgments of the Meeting were also
given to the Lord Mayor. who returned thanks. sad
expressed his iltelitioo of supporting the Society.
The Meeting then adjtmrsed.
A liberal collection was made at the doors.

YELLOW FRYER AT BARCELON4.
The following private letter..artici we take from
The Journal des Debate. gives a truly afflicting
picture of the migrating aid asertalitr gassed bf The

yellow fever at Barrelora
BIRCELON•, OCT. 17.-•• I wrote to you by the
last courier, at a moment when I was scarcely able to
gold the pen. in a state of high fever. I have forgot-
ten all the details which I sent you. Ah ! my dear
brother; if yea beheld my situation, I am the most
wretched of men. We were eight in number, shut up
in this one house. From the 7th of December we tad
communication with no human creature. What a
mischance, when on the 10th inst. we beard knocking
at the door. We went to look out of the window—
&elapse is called for. in order to be informed that his
son was taken ill. At this sews the wretched father
cried out repeatedly, " My son! my sow, has taken
the infection. I will see Wm 2" The mother, who
was is the house, appeared as wretched as the father.
They went out in haste, and rammed is a quarter of
an hoer with their sick son. It was in vain that we
remonstrated with them up** the danger of intro-
ducing him. As they were the porters of the house
we could not prevent their entering. Heavens!
What imprudence What calamity tossed! The
ems was put to bed—in 24, boars he expired. The
mother was soon seized with the contagion, 'also the
father. Between the 10th sod 14.6 the eight of us
had taught it. Of these eight fire were carried
off. and my daughter is at her last bow. The
French physicians visit as twice a day. and give
some hopes of recovery. To be prepared for the
worst I have made my will, which is deposited at
the parish church of st. Michael. To-day I have
bees upon the ramparts searching for some herb,
for my daughter. On my way aloeg I encountered at
least 20 carts loaded with dead. There are still 10,04
dead in the town. At Bareelonetta there is 'net a
reel left.—" All the world" is dead. The worst of it
Is that the bodies are left to horrible putrefaction in
the bonne. It is impossible to stir cot without shed-
ding wars. Terror is at its utmost. At this moment
lam looking on, whilst the beds, the mattresses, the
eaveriags, and the bodies of the victims are thrown
eat of the windows into the street. In some streets
there is not a sufficiency of carts, and some hundred
bodies are left is heaps spon the pavements. If I
said the deaths are a thousand a day I should sot ex-
aggerate. I believe the imaiber is greater. I believe
all those to-the town will perish. Mr. Pariret, the
French physician, has this instant visited my daughter
for the hut time. He anueusges to me the death of
one of his colleagues, M. Mosel. Another, M. Bailey,
is dangerously ill. They will no longer remain in the
town, because the General who commands the first
cordon will sot consent to fall back a league. Our
doctors wished that every body should go out of the
town, and since that is not allowed. it is impossible to
cheek the plague. What an abomination! This
should not surprise you. You know the Spaniards.
Adieu, my dear brother; pray God for w.
P.S. 1 era my letter toted yet that my daughter
has just aspired.
