Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York  Mr. WILLIAM BIGGS moved that this house will resolve itself into a committee, to consider the propriety of granting sums in aid to any Reformatories for Penitent Females at present existing or that may hereafter be established. This was a secial question of great importance which had been too long neglected. From inquiries he had made, the reformatories now existing were found to be utterly inadequate to the occasion. Thousands of penitent wretches were driven from the doors of these ill-supported institutions. Institutions for the lame, the blind, and all other unfortunate beings were established ; and it was only in this exceptional case that an adequate remedy was not provided. In the metropolis there were 20,000 unfortunate females, a curse to themselves and to society. Except suicide, they had no alternative but continuance in their wretched course of life. He asked the house merely to come forward, as in the case of schools, with pecuniary aid. The doors of mercy ought not to be ajar, they ought to be wide open. They came to the rescue of felons—of boys—of all—except the unfortunate class. Assuming there were 200,000 of these females in the country, it appeared that their lives did not average above 7 years ; so that in London there was a sacrifice of 3,000 of their lives, and 30 000 in the country. To meet this evil there had been 18 institutions in London, of which two had latelyclosed for want of funds, and 20 in the provinces. They were all p )or institutions. They afforded a shelter to only 1,695 females. Last year there had been 3,693 applications, so that 2,598 had to be thrown back into their career of vice. It appeared in these institutions that the females there sheltered showed proofs of industry and reformation. The Government did grant sums in aid to institutions for females under fifteen years of age. Why should liberality be confined to this age ? It was done under the pretence that these last institutions were schools ; then let them call all the institutions of this kind schools. They had ref rmed their criminal code and their prisons, they had established missions to negroes and savages, and they neglected this unfortunate class at home. He enumerated the necessary refusals by the various institutions during the past year. His proposal was, that there should he a Government grant equal to that raised by private benev,,lence in each institution, thus acting as a stimulus on that benevolence. If he should not succeed at this period of the session, he should bring forward the subject again and again till he succeeded in making a favourable impression on the house. The SPEAKER said that such a motion should come with the recommendation of the Crown. The motion then fell to the ground.  Mr. J. D.
