fcABSIQN . BOUSB , LONDON . . £ _ iT * ni wam *^ , named Ann Condi , vm brought oefM » tire Lor 4 . Alayor , in eonseqaesee of baring been * fc * d in the streets in a state ' of destihiiian . : Ib . D . W . "Harvey , the CHy Police Commissioner , Mtecded an the occasion , for tire purpose of coming to ta . understanding with the Mapstracy and the Boards yt Guardian * of the City ef London , on a subject of wmsi&erable importance as regards the disposal of poor pence * foend in » helpless condition in the —** reet § . Inspector H'Laren stited that the poor giri -sras Vou ^ it to him at the Station-house at three o ' clock on anOay morning , in a state of destitution . According to the directions given to him by the Citv Commissioner , be immediately sent her , accompanied by a policeman , to ttie Relieving Officer of the City , -who refused to give her relief , and the vaa consequently brought back to the SUtkm-lioHse , where she remained until the time arrived for bringing her before his Lordship . if A ? Cfll ( hllf . tXrVTTn T r ^ 'ftTV ^ Tk'Vr
The Lord Mayor—It is not to be expected that the Relieving Officer , -whose time is eccupied during the whole day iritti cases of distress , should ait up all afeht The CoaunisHcnar said it -was an important question of law and ef humanity , -whethFr a person found in an # * ide . -t ! y destitute condition , and against -whom there "Was no charge of any kind , should be taken to the Gompter , ur to a plac * appointed Tor the distribution of ¦ psrochiil rtlie ' . He found , upon enuring npon his fl ( 5 ce , that aT order had been issued by the late Lord Maror . that no case of destitution should be taken to
we BtlkTiDg Officer after eleven o'elock ' at Eight , bat that all casis of the kind , after that hour , should be leoaght to the Station-hones . Xow he had issued direcdeas to the police to quite an opposite effect , for he conaidered ii alike contrary to law and to humanity to send- a person \ rho -was merely destitute to a place appointed for those -who were charged Tri : h « rindnal offences . In the present case the Relieving tfficer had Tefuscd to give assistance , and it was at great importance that the question should be finally efctled and perfectly understood . The case had nothing etfcraordinary about it . and it was not brought forward & the shape of a complaint sgainst the Relieving QfSsaey but solely for the purpose 'rf . ultimate snsngeof serious
jaaeni . A ease a kind miglS haTe occurred , fcoireTer , such as that of Caroline Owen , ¦ who had been Tefased assistance by the Relieving Officer of the Borough on Friday , although in an advanced state of jregnansy , and had been taken to the Compter , where . the chili might have been born in a cradle of crime in tbfi very teeth of the law , " and of common humanity . In the case be just alluded to , be had directed 3 poHc ' einan to insist that the Relieving Officar should do Lis < lo £ r , &ad take care of the woman , and upon all occa-Jfirohe should pursne the same course . At the sam .-* tae , he had tiren such directions to the police , bo ioA ordered that a person found a second time in the streets in a state of destitution , should be treated as a -vagrant .
rh « Lord Mayor—Your object , then . 13 to have a idieTing officer stay up al ni ^ ht , in order to be ready to . relieTe ary cast of destitution ? Tb » Commisaaner— Certainly . Of course it cannot be expected that the reliering officer of the day could pefurni the night duty ; but the law must be obeyed ¦ rhateTer tha additional number of relieving officers nay be . Mr . Tawaites , the reliev ' ng officer , said it was certainly most important that the question should be set at lest ; and he \ ra 3 glad thai Use Commissioner had come forward , sni to prevent all future liability to mistake , it was a matter cf great public notoriety that the last I ^ nti Mayor had directed the policemen to take cny destitute persons they might find after eleven o ' clock at
Sight to the itation-house , and not to the relirrin ? overseer , and that regulation led to great benefit , for the cases were necessarily brought before the magistefce . The late Lord Mayor proceeded rosolutely to work again , * the injurioas sjstem adopted by o'her Unions , of sending tha poor , lite fiocki of sheep , to * e City of London—a systaa , of the natara of which some idea may ba formed , when h ? ss : d that upwar-Js ef 2 , 0 ufi p&sons , who had no connection whitest :: with the City , had received relief from the U : ty if london Union in ene year . Of late , the nau . brr o : casual poor found in the City was quite ineoasi ' . erable
fcet the evil would probably be stirl in existence if it lad no ; been for the exposure * wLich hs . d been maie before the Lord Mayor . He begged to say that the project of taking destitute pqpons ~ found after eleven « Wock at night in the rtre ? te appeared to him to he excellent . In the case of Caroline Owen , whose case had appeared in the papers of Saturday , he Ea ^ j ^ ¦ Sitiken thai female to the Borough Union , the relieving officer of which peremptorily refused to admit itx . He hjwevs- followed the matter up , and havhia represented tho «* e to Mr . Fisher , an overseer of wel £ "faiown humanity , the poor vonan was relieved and protected by his instru ^ entalitr .
The Lor-1 Ma / or admitt-. d that the utility of public -representations of what t- > . » k rHcc in all " matters couaected with the poor was indisputable . .- Mr . Hobler did not kaow Viat would become cf the poor if h wtje cot for the benevoknt press of the daatry . The Commiajponer Ea'd he could ntrt for a moment fcink of puniabing poor pta-sons by sending them to a prison . Sir . Thwaites—If Caroline Owen had not been protected by tha police she might have perished in the fcreets . The Commissioner—It is to prevent such occurrences I eome here . That poverty is no crime is my point , * Bd I shall not countenance the punishment of it ! * 3 » Guardians noat get persons to do the night bmrae&g .
** . Thwsites—The Guardhns haTe ^ deprived the vrtittxrs of the lamp they used to bum , upon tfo ground that , as there was no rdaht business , there wa « na necosatj for light . There is anither thing to be « a * d as to the accommodation of destitute persons who its found at laie' hours : we have no workhouss or poorhonse nearer than Pcckham in which they can be placed . . Tne Commiasioner—There are pla «« to be found in tfc « City with great eass , in which the few whoth * wKeving oTerseer says are in the habit of now needing * dM & * , nigh * can be artommo . iaWd . They cannot gS to the station-hoist There s 3 ioold be ao arrangement Wtween the two City Unions on the subject The Gosrdiins of one cf them ccsplain to me that , as they i * ve a reeeiTing-house for the poor , they areoveT-• wbehncd by applications , on account of the fact thnt tjbe sist : r union has no house of the kind . All 1 can say is , that mere poTei-ty ouglit not U be dealt with as erfcne , and certainly ^ h ^ n n * t by me .
. Mr . Hand , of Caeapsiue , and Mr . Greenhiw , two of Qie Guard ' jms , hsre stood forward and stated that they Trse 62 . tUikd that the Commisiijiser had taien a idos : « rrect view of the question , and that they would ai 1 fee next meeting represent the matter to the Beard cf ecardians , and advocate the appointment of a night fTOSier as i ; tras impossible that the two day overseas , who had tho business of £ S parishes t * atu-nJ to , eaQ ' id perforna nigiit dtrty a ^ so . They also sLiti tier w » uld reMmaend that a hoes © should be opened for the reli = f of the c&nxil p # or st night . Tht ! Lord Mayor said the Commissioners expressed themselves gs 4 : sfjei at the Tery prompt manner in Trnfca ths Gnardiins hvi stated iteir willingness to accsmpllsii the desired » biect
Mr . Hand said that ha might perhaps on this occasion be permitted Vj cell » be Lord Mayor ' s attention to ealomty which had befallen a poor fondly on the "wedding d * y of her Majesty . As a poor fellow nim-d Spencer , who had s wife and three children , tm emiftoyed in plastering a house in tha Poultry , on that 4 aj of pubiic rejoicing , hi * foot slipped , and he fell from the top to the paTcment , and was kiEed upon ¦ fch e sp « i _ The widow , who had now not only to pro-¦* iAs for her three children , but was in a state of preg - nancy , wc « a woman t j the excellence of whose chai * Ckx number * could t ? fUfy , and * he thought that i- - tie Lord ifayor w-ouid interest himself for her she v&ghi get ov . w ; thont tiiing parochial relief . The Lord Mtyor , frith a great g ©* d nature , «»< 1 . trmt ke ahauld feel much plcisuie in rpeej ^ in- contribationa for the poor ftciily , acd he had no doubt that if ihe case met the eyc of the Quern , her Most Gracious lejeifr would feel for the poor widow .

the desire a ad aim of the committee that relief should be administered in . such a ^ wav , » nd to such coiracters only , that encouragement 00 not given to the itiaerant ragrint—those who hivo no othor object but to exist by idleness and imposition . Mmv such characters have bean suitably dealt with , botli by the visitors and superintendent . The committee ought not to omit referring to the great accession of applicants of later months , from surrounding manafiLetnring districts , artisans and labourer ? , abltbodied , and Trilling to work , thrown out of employment from tho depressed state t > f trade ; and there have been instances when , having obtained employment , they have come to the institution to express their gratitude for the shelter afforded in the time of their extremity , and hare contributed to its funds . 1 . 1 . . J . 1 » m , m * .. _ ii « 1 » J »
The committee could easily enlarge npon seme of the characteristics of a number who have found a covert from the chilling midnight blast , and have been led to this refuge , without a helper , aud " ready to perish . " To this refuge havo tho steps of the unfortunate outcast been directed—the victim of seduction , far from friends and home , Rinking under tho influence of disease , and apparently without the pale of human sympathy : —such have been provided fur according to their " condition and necessities . Surely it will be said , that even such sltould not be left to parish ! Another cla ? 3 has beeu found amongst those sheltered by the liberality of the friends of this charitythe weeping . penitent . A kindred institution has iaraiihsd an asylum for such , the discipline of which is especially adapted to "heal the backsliding aud to reclaim the wanderer . "
The young female visiting the town , eeeking a situation , has not unfre-queutly appeared before ; lio vlsiters , a stranger , and without a friend . Such have received the kindly word of advice , and have be-en thankful for the temporary aid of the charity ; a : vi the committee with pleasure record _ the fact thai smr . il young women are now v-liccd in respectable fimiliea , with credit to themselves , and satisfaction to those by whom they are employed . The forsaken wife , and not unfrequently with several forsaken children , Live too often , unli&ppUy , been among its inmates , in pursuit of the hard-hearted husband and the nnfreling father . While such , have also gratefully partaken of the shelter of the asylum , the committee have the saiisiaction of knowing tbaj the hand of relief has been Etrctchcd forth to filherle ^ s children and widow . ' ' .
The yisitera have fonnd , in the course of their examination of applicants , " those who have seen better days , " who , it may be , reduced by improridence , have been brought to see , in the result of such a course , their folly ; while others of some education and address , "hut brought low by misfortunes , " have b- ^ en thankful for a night ' s shelter , and a timely meal . Without dwelling further upon these topics , the committee would remark that the design of this charity is purely cenevolent . What £ j e the qualifications for a participation in it 3 provisions ? Are tiny m i serable ' . —They are considered objects of Dity . Are they destitute ?—Roiief is afforded . Arc " they homeless !—Tho door of shelter is open to receive them . Are they friendk-ss 1—To such has the asylum been a h « lp in th-j " time of need . "
The committee feel that the uvstitutioa , thus founded on the broad la $ ; s of our commou humanity , cannot bat commend itself to the cordial and liberal support of the public , extending , as it does , its alleviating influence to thousands of the most miserable —the most wretched—and tho most destitute of the human family . Nor is there scarcely a class of . suffering which have not received the kindly welcome , and who have gratefully acknowk-dged , " I was a stranger and ye took me in—hungry , and ye fed me—sick , and ve ministered unto me . "
The committee cannot but yield to the conviction , r . har , wULl-i much Buffering has been mitigated , much 1 crime nas also been prevented ; and i ; was recently \ remarked by cue of the leading cfScials in the tovrn , 1 " ^ Were it nai for the night asylum for the houseless , j the time of the rnag ' is ' . iaias would be much more i occupied , and commuuils would bo increased ; '' fur- 1 : licr adding , upon a receiit visit to the inrtiuitiou . ' " If this do .-a not prevtat crime , I do not know what . Till . " While many havs thus bsen preserved frooi } harm , there have been those who hive beeu pre- j vemed froin doin ^ barm . !
f he committee note with satisfaction the general 1 crdtr ' y conduct oi the inEjates of tne a > sjlum ; a proof , in some measure , of the S " . itable {' eclings ; with which the relief is received and appreciated by i' . iein . Tho commiUec cmbr ; v ? e this opportnn'iy of ! leadering their ackiicwkdgments for the liberal respond to the appeal recently made to the public ; arid , as it will be seen by the treasurer ' s accounts , that the annual expenditure is uot very excessive , vhc committee cherish the hopes that , by additions to tho annual mhscriptignt , thev iaay bo enabled , wiih'j-at snch appeals , to meet the expe ? . dilure of tho chirity . In conclusion , the committee would remark , tha' . tha strongest a-lvocate 3 for the
institution arei ' ound among those who from personal observation are acquainted with its practical workings B ^ iiig satisfied of its utility ar . d siooessity , they know ilie kind relief afforded , 3 rjd tho gentra ! cliaracter c-f those sheltered wi : hin the walls of the asylum that it does " prmds for an extreme nfise ^ siiy in extreme circumstances , " and affords relief to an extent not equalled by any existing institution for the same amount . The committee thick this will be uDviuuf , when it is seen that the rations for the inmates do not exceed £ 148 Hi . 7 . JJ ., or 1 ^ 1 . p-r imn 3 te ; and that , including all incidental expenses , 20 , 335 cai . es have been sheltered and reiieTed , at an expenditure of £ 368 . 83 . 4 Ad .

Kimrumeac Of the eonntry . While those to whom Bach powers are dftlegated again , in imitation of tho precious elect or electors , are now usurping the privilege of not being amenable to the laws which thoy iiietnselve * have made ; while England ' s proudeat boast , the virtuous and patriotic Fro 3 t , Williams , and Jones , are held in durance vile , by vinupof a trial confessedly contrary to law . This meeting therefore recommends to the serious attentiou » ud consideration of a delegate meeting , bhould Xt . be generally thougJit necessary to hold one , the following questions : — " 1 st . —How far are tho slavea or _ non-electors bound to protect the rich in their enjoyment of life and property , against a foreigu invader V ( Cvie 3 of ' Not bound at all . ' i
" 2 d . How far aro the non-eleotors bound to rendor assistance to the rich in cases of domestic calamity ? such , for instance , a « accidental fire or flood , and also the wiuda , hail , or lightnings of heaven ; they Uhe rich ) having by their selnuh enactments impoverished the non-electors by enhancing the price of bread , and at the 6 amo time destroying foreign commerce , and having thus caused poverty to exist throughout the ler-gth and breadth of the laud ; they tnsn deliberately enacted laws to punish it as a crime , by separating the different mera&ers of a family and placing them in confinement ; and if released by ( Lath from euch . confinement , their bodies may then be dissected or otherwise operated upon for their benefit . " Mr . Georga-filuofc Seconded it , and it was unanimously -carried .- Mr . George Ijbrrison , oi" Calvorton , proposed threo tshefirti and
a ^ vote of thanks to the worthy Mayor , contrasting his conduot with that of his prtdicessov in office , on the 12 th of August , when he refused to allow the Chartists to hold a meeting in tho Market-place . No man was more opposed to flattery th ^ n himself , but such Was the kind and considorate" conduct of the Mayor , that he was convinced he wa 3 fully entitled to a vote of thanks and three cheers . Mr . Samuel Reed , of Lentou , seconded the proposition , which wm carried amidst loud clapping of hands , and thrco hearty cheers were then given for the Mayor . A vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman , three cheers were given for the chairman ; for Messrs . Frost , Williams , and Jones ; for the Charter ; fov Mr . O'Connor , with great enthusiasm ; for Dr . Taj lor , and all friends to Chartism ; and at a quarter after one the meeting broke up .
WO 0 TON-UNDER-EDGE .-0 n Monday , the 10 th hist ., according to the advice recommended by the delegates who assembled in Manchester , the committee of the Working ileu ' s Association got up a requisition , calling upon the Mayor to grant the Town Hall , for the purpose' of holding a public meeting to memorialise her Majesty , for a full and free pardon to John Frost , Esq ., and " his unfortunate companions . The Mayor having thought proper to refus « the uso of the Town Hall , a meeting was held in tho evening , at the rooms of the Association , when tho Memorial drawn up by tho delegates at
Manchester was unanimously adopted ; and the presentation confided to Lord brougham . Tho loyalty of the inhabitants of this town may bo guessed at from tho fact , that during the whole of tho day not so much as the bells were heard to ring on the occasion of her Majesty's nuptials with Prince Albert ; so that the Chartists are not the only disloyal people , though they have often been described ai such—in fact , no demonstration of joy was manifested on the occasion—uo party seemed to have any inclination to rejoice at the additional burden imposed upon the nation for the maintenance of the German " hall Sovereign . "
BOSTON . —On Monday , the 17 th instant , an adjourned meeting was held in Boston , to adop * . a petition to both Houses of Parliament to grant a free pardon to the Welsh victims . The meeting commenced at toven o ' clock , p . m ., and was well attended . Mr . Kv-rshaw was called to the chair . There was some animated discussion on the present state of tho country ; and tho hellish spy system was adurr&bly exposed . The petition was ' unanimously adopted , aud persons appointed to receive signatures to it .
TROWBRIDGE .-On Thursday evening , the 6 th inst ., a public meeting was hold , at the Democratic Chapel , for Uus purpose of hearing the report , of tho Manchester delegate meeting , by Mr . Haswull . The place wae well attended , by ' ail parties , iu , hopes of hearing torn . } good tidings reacting Mr . Frost and hts companions . —Mr . Has well stated what the dele-. gates had agreed upon . —Tho meeting was then addressed by Messrs . Pearco and Currier ; after Which , it was agreed , that a requisition be imme-4 'atcly got up , and a deputaikm appointed to wait upon the magistrates , on Friday-morning-: thero-. qhisinn was sigued by sixteen respectable ) tradesmen . The ueputatiou , oomposiag . of Messrs . CamciyHaswell , aud Haintts , theu waited n ' pou Mr . J . Clarke
, tho senior magistrate , to ask him to call a public meeting ; or , if ho would not call it , to gi * e them liberty to hold 0110 in tho Market Place , for ttt&sole uurpose of adopting a menioriai to the Queeu , on behalf of Frost , Williams , and Jones . Tnis ho ( Hr . Clarke ) could not comply with ; for he thought MiniBura had been very favourable in sparing ibeir lives . —Mr . Garier remoustrated with him fw » aiu timo , but to no purpose . He said he should not be doing his duty if he was to suffor a public mooting to bo held in th « open air in this town . Tney then waited upon Mr . Stancomb , tho other mag i strate , who received them with a sne ^ r , and told ihom he could nob do anything in opposition to hia brother raagistrato . On Saturday niglit , a petition to thu
viueeis was tout to Air . Leader , for him to take to Lord B-oughain , praying for a full aud free par-itm to Frost , Williams and Jones , signed by 3 , 940 males , and 2 , 000 ieaiahs , in about fourteen hours . —On Sunday evening , isifurination reached tho Committee , tnat ix grt-at number of magistrates would meet on Monday morning , and ail the police in the county would inarch in by eight o ' clock . On Monday morning , upwards of one hundred » f this new regiment cir . rched into the town , some having come tinny or forty miles . Seeing such preparations making b tiie magistrates , the ComimttKo thought it prudent to got up another requisition , which was signed by 1-25 hm :- > cholders ; ami four tradesman weio appointed to wait upon the magistrates , who were then
suti ' . ig at tho George Inn . The following magistrates were prc-sect : Messrs . Clarke , Stancomb , Piiijw , Saundcr * , Brngug , Byethesuu ., ouct one or two more , whose n tines we were uot acquainted with . Tne deputation asked the magistrates if they would ^ ivo cousent fur a meotiu ^ to b 3 held on conditiuu that the following resolution should be put to the meeting : — " We , the loyal iuhabitaats of this town , in public mcctiui- ; assembled , desire to approach the throne of her Majesty , Queen Victoria , cougratu-Liting her Royal Higiiuess in her choice union of marijal bands of holy wedlock , wishing her joy , bappines ? , and prosperity , with a peaceful leigu over us , shewing love and sympathy to all her people . " This they refused , dutilriuined to shew no loyalty
thomselvcd , nor let riSrahew any sympath y for our incarcerated brethren . It was then announced that a public meeting would take piaco at the Democratic Chapel , : u half-past one . At two o'clock the plaae , whiuh will hold 600 people , was literally tuwsuueU . Mr . Job liawlings was elected Jo tlU oliair , who said he hopod that every person ' would en
get no further . The Chairman then called order , ; and said he hoped some kind friend wouiu try to hud a seat fortheso gem-lemon . Mr . Carrier then proceeded , and gave tho intruders a scvero caatigation . The following resolutions » vero carried , without one dissentient : —Moved by Mr . Carrier , seconded by Mr .

P .,- Jbr him to take it to Lord Brougham , and that this meeting attend next Monday evening , at eight o ' elock , to receive the answer . " Tho police now made their way off , like a dog thai has lost his meal , seeing there was no bait tor them . The meeting was then adjourned .

O'Connor ' s , which , for its novelty ujjoa the question of physical force , is well worthy aVteation : and , also , a portion of - tie . Geaoh's , which' -will prove our oft-repeated assertion , that i ' oal play was somewhera practised aguiiBt the amiable and confiding Frost .
Mr . O'Connor said— " What nonsense to talk of making examples for the suppression of physical force . You do not know whai physical force mean *; and therefore I will explain it to you—It does not mean cannon . ? , muskets , bayonets , swords , handgrenades , or cats , or violence of any description . By it is understood the means by which Universal Suffrage is to be accomplished ; and , if - to-niprrow we were to change our tactics , to fasting aud praying , total abstinence , brothorly love , obedi-> nce to every comm % nduicnt in the strictest sense , and if those means were likely to accomplish the deaired end , they would be designated physical force , and the Times , tho Wliigs , the Toriesy and the middle
classes , would rovilingly taunt us and say , Faugh upon you , ye purjtaiucai roundheads , yo bypoeritical puritans , why thus fast and pray , why mortify yourselves , why sku : k behind the mask of morality aud retire , why not Corno forth from your hiding places and give uB a field day at once like men . Every time yon holla Universal Suffrage in their ears , you fire a loaded cannon at thair brains . It is the ond they drnad ; and be the means what they may , the crime ofyapplyiag thorn will ever be the samo in the eye of those who hoi i power by physical mean 3 , which they refuse to surrender to morality and justice . " The choering which followed this
oxwsmon was indescribable . Mr . Gea ^ h most satisfactorily illustrated tho injustice to which the prisoners were subjected , and the manner in which faith had been broken , both with them and their counsel . He said that Frost was then suffering for an attempt toallay tho sufferings of otheiv , a 7 Id noo for any design to aggrandize himself , but thut ho had been invidiously seduced and foully betrayed , as he would provo , upon tae first fitting opportunity , satisfactorily to the working people of tho three kingdoms . Spiritod resolutions were passed , and a petition founded upon them was agreed to be presented to tho House of Commons .
A vote of thanks was given to the C lairman , after which ihe meeting separated , mucii amused with the enthusiasm which was uuauiiuously displayed . [ in confirmation of Mr . O'Connor ' s opinion , we have only to direct attention to the assaults of the Tory press against the amiabie and Christian Father Mathews , for his endeavour to > restore the Irish people from a state of intoxication to sobriety , whereby they will ba the hotter able to understand , and . understanding , to demiud their rights . A drunken man has no rights beyond the right of making ; a boast of himself , We agree with Mr . O'Connor that , if temperance were adopted as the means of obtaining Universal Suil ' rag " , temperauco would bo a crime in tno eyes of tlus tyrant , and perhaps taxed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer . —Eds , ]

The disagreeably situation in which we were placed relative to ' Stepheus ' s Portrait has made us caution 8 , and , therefore , we resolved not to fix the day for the presentation of tho above-mentioned Plates uniil they were at full work , whereby we are enabled to avoid all chauces of disap-- pointment . Our avrangaaaont . 3 are as follow j—We allow till Saturday , the 8 th of March , for receiving Subscribers' Names . Snbseribeai from that period will be entitled to a Portrait iu six weeks ; to a second in two mouths ' from the period of giving tho first ; and the third after another interval of two months , which is tha very earliest time at which they can be perfected . In one mouth from tho last named period w » shall present to vur readers tho most Splendid Plate that art can . furnish of Frost , Williams , aad Jones , togsth « jt with Sir Frederick Pollock , and Messrs . Kelly « pd Thomas , Counsel for tb 9 prisoners . We pledge ourselves that this Plate shall be of the most splendid description .
