NTF.W INSTITUTiO.N-lIn consequence of the long ex- perience, both by tlhe magistrates of' the city and private indi viduals, of the necessity of some ditinct provisions for severe large classes of destitute poor, a requisition is now in the coUrse n, signature to request the Lord I,layor to call a Public 1l\eeting in thi Egyptian-hall of the MNfainsion-lhouse, for the plrpose of conisidering the best means of alleviating the condition of the classes alluded to Mr Ilick the Chairman of the Cominittee appointed to iDves. tigate the claims of the London W.rorkhouse; has, we understand. sent round to the leading members of the Corporation a circulai letter, setting forth the practicability of making use of the extensivt premises no1w occupied as the London Workhouse, to forni an ir:sti. tution for the refuge of aU the destitute and houseless poor. Ec haS proposed the institution tipon an enlareed plan, that will em. brace the wants of' all the above classes, ad tend to prevent those circumstances which are the general cause of the little thefts and pilfering thbat lead to greater. The chief feature of the plau is, that all shall be received who conel on condition that for so much work a certain quantity of food suall be given ; and that temporarY employment shall be given to all, until thev can be sent to their parishes, or can tind emnploymenr. Pa ticular arrantemnents are proposed for the juvenile class of obiects.
