MARYLEBONE VESTRY.  On Saturday a very fully attended meeting of this vestry took place, for the purpose of considering a notice of motion, of which Mr. J. F. Standford had given notice last week, relative to the influx of Irish paupers. Mr. STANDFORD, in bringing the subject before the vestry, said, if he felt himself justified in bringing this subject under the notice of that board at their previous meeting, the information he had since received tended more than ever to show that he was right in doing so, and that the matter was worthy of the most serious consideration. He was prepared to prove, that so far from the evils arising from the emigration of Irish paupers being likely to diminish, they were frightfully on the increase. He had obtained his data, not from any newspaper reports, but from the high constable of Liverpool, who proved that the influx of Irish paupers was daily increasing. —(Hear.) During the present week no less than, 3,133 persons of this class had arrived at Liver pool; the numbers who so arrived in September were 10,369, and during the present month the number amounted to 11,772. These parties not only brought with them filth and disease, fever, diarrhoea, and other contagious disorders, but they were for the most part pilferers and plunderers, even in the open day. Mr. Standford then proposed that a memorial should be presented to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, setting forth the evils arising from the great increase of Irish paupers, and urging upon him the necessity of renewing the precautions adopted in the spring of the year, of instituting, under the protection of the Custom house officers at the several ports, a system of quarantine, so as to prohibit the entrance of those paupers who were diseased. He farther proposed that a resolution should be passed by the vestry, to be respectfully transmitted to the board of guardians for their consideration, by which resolution the vestry should express its wish that all the Irish poor who had rut became settled for five years in the parish should he roruoved—that those poor who had applied for relief should first be searched, to ascertain whether they had sufficient means of supporting themselves—that none should be relieved without also being made to work—and that no relief should be given in money. He (Mr. Standford) thought if such resolutions as these were adopted the example would be followed by other parishes. Thry would act as an effectual check upon Irish pauperism in the metropolis. Mr. Lewis rose to object to the resolutions, on the ground that no notice of them had been previously given. The notice given last week did not extend so far.  After some discussion Mr. STANDFORD withdrew his motion, and gave notice that he would bring on the memorial and resolutions on Saturday.
