MODEL LODGING-1101ISE.—The society for improving the condition of the labouring classes have opened a model lodging-house in Charles-street, Drury-lane. It provides for the accommodation of single labouring men in a way that must be an immense improvement upon the dens which so many congregate nightly about St. Giles's and elsewhere. Each inmate here by paying 4d. per night, or 2s. a week, is provided with a separate bed, the means at washing (including a bath, towels, soap, &c.), a fire to cook his food at, and a room to sit in during the evening or ancy unemployed hours. He will also, we believe, as soon as one can be established, have the use of a small library. The rooms are clean and apparently well ventilated, and very considerable in size, and also in the number of beds they contain. The latter are placed about two feet apart, and are t. be supplied with clean sheets once a month, we believe. The establishment is under the superintendence of the same perr son who established and conducted the somewhat similar lodging-house in King-street, which, besides being of great use to the class for whose benefit it was established, 310(11 some profit, a fact which justifies the opinion entertained by the promoters of this institution that it will be a self-paying, if not a positively profitable speculation—an opinion that we sincerely trust will be eventually borne out.
