the patronage of tl►e Duke of York, and a committee
of noblemen awl gentlemen have been appointed te
retry it into immediate execution. Of what the
groupe is designed to be composed we have not bete
informed. The reign of his late Majesty was so event-
hl as cannot fail to suggest a variety of appropriate
subjects. It was, indeed, productive of some. mil
affected by many extraordinary changes in the condi-
don and relations of the country over a bleb he rule•',
that it cannot fail to be remembered by geuerrtions to

annals of Orem Britain. To an enquirer, who refers

While they were employed in the new arrangements.
an application was made by Hrs. Fry, who has bad a
very great increase of unfortunates upon her list, to
the Directors, to permit the admission of such fe-
males as might be discharged from the prisons in
which she dispenses her charities. The application
was accompanied by an assurance that the Governors.
in granting such a permission, would act up to the
spirit of the Aet of Parliament for the regulation of
the house. The subject is to undergo immediate con-
sideration. It has been determined by the Committee
that the cases of applicants for admirshra shall ay.
dergo the strictest immediate examination that can
be made, and that none shall be received who have a
distinct legal claim upon any pariah. The object the
Committee profess is the raving from starvation, or
the fatal effects of exposure to the cold, those who
have no cognizable claim upon parish relief. Newt-

through the markets and search the penthouses of she

shelter was afforded last winter to the poor in Mr.
Hick's warehouse, 1522 persons were relieved.
