eight was pauper. The sum of s42, 75o,ooo
was expended from the public funds for the
poor in England and Ireland in 1913. The
Poor Law fund expended in England and
Wales during the past seventeen years,
amounts to the enormous sum of Si26, 60o,-
600. 1t is stated, however, that even this vast
expenditure, accompanied by immense pri
vate contributions, falls far short of reliev-
ing the wants of the poor of Great Britain.
1t is stated that the expenses of the organ
lied benevolent institutions of France
amounted in ls47 to 100000 francs, and
that the number of INDECENT persons relieved
was about 10000 annually. These institu-
tons are confined to the cities and large
towns, and the returns do not embrace the
large number of persons in the rural districts
who are in receipt of public support. NJ. Du-
chatel, Minister of Commerce, reports that
co. .932 persons received public aims at their
own houses.
The report before US states that the Meth
erlands, in l847, with population of 6, l67, 900
contained IL 400 charitable institutions,
which contributedto the support of ,2l4,055
persons-about one fifth of the entire popula-
ton.
New York, which goes ahead of all other
parts of this country in the number of her
millionaires, has also the largest number of
paupers. The number who received support
in that State within the year ending June l,
l $50, was $685. of which 9,275 were natives
and 4o,5s0 foreigners. These numbers do
not however, by any means indicate the ex-
tent ofpauperism in New York. 1t is proba
BILE that much larger number are supported
by private than by public charities Texas
has the smallest number of paupers of any of
the States-only four. Happy Texas The
number of paupers in Virginia for the year
ending June l, 1850, was Sis, of whom 1888
were native, and ls5 foreign. The expense
of their support was $151 1922.

entertained abroad of the good faith of Aus
tria Should these suspicious be justified by
future developments the allies will find work
enough in their hands tooceupy them for the
next ten years. The presence Of the Austrian
troops in the Principslities would be most
awkward feature in the contest. Should
Austria, after all, side with Russia, or even
remain neutral, the prospect is, that Nicholas
will come out of the war with flying colors.

TUESDAY MORNING. JULY q. 1854.
THE SUBSCRIPTION CARRIED

Yesterday the vote of the Freehoidcrs OF
Richmond was taken upon the question OF
subscribing 100000 on behalf Of the city.
to the Central Railroad. The result was
decided majority in favor of the subscription,
as will be seen below. The vote was very
small. 1t was the worst period of the year
for it. A very large number of our citizens
are absent whose presence here would have
swelled the majority considerably. The day
moreover was exceedingly unfavorably-
Every thing was against full vote, and a
full vote was just what the friends of the sub.
scription wanted. The larger the vote the
larger would have been the majority.
We consider the result grand triumph
The amount involved is no big things but il
shows that our people are determined to &c
ahead, 1t will give renewed confidence ano
energy to enterprise, and impalt fresh vigol
TO commerce.
Below we give the vote. Each Ward poll
