The Beggars on Parade.
About two hundred and fifty wretched-
looking victims Of poverty and privation
gathered on Tower IIil this morning and
resolved to make a display OF their rags
and misery before the lords and com
mOners i'm Parliament. The mob had no
settled plan Of procedure they were too
hungry for that. but one and all they
started in the direction OF the Parliament
houses. II was a pitlful procession and
excited the sympathy and surprise Of the
spectators. The police AZ first did not In
terfere, thinking that the gathering would
dispense very soon; but when 1t became
apparent that the famine-stricken
Wretchos really meant TO make a scene
before Parliament the police dispersed
them.
