1"^HE emii^rations from England to 

 - France continue to be alannins;. As 

 the produce of the taxes on domestic con- 

 •iimption falls off, the consumers diruinisli ; 

 and thus the deficiency increases in an ac- 

 celerated ratio. In Paris there were, by the 

 last accounts, 211,000 En j>iisli: though 10,000 

 liad left that city for Switzerland. Geneva 

 was so full, that those who wished to send 

 their children thither for education, rould 

 rot find a family to place tlicin in where 

 there were not olher Enf;lish boarders. 

 Boulogne has 1,200 Eui^lisli, and lodgings 

 cannot be procured for nioic. 



A meeting of the inhabitants of Wal- 

 thamstow and Ley ton Isas been held, for 

 the purpose of promoting in those parishes 

 flie general use of machines to cleanse 

 chimneys, instead of employing children to 

 climb up them. Printed notices of the 

 meeting, signed — Edward Conyers, vicar ; 

 Wm. Sparrow, curate ; Charles Lapiiniau- 

 daye, vicar of Leyton ; were ported up, 

 and also otherwise distributed : Kev. Geo. 

 Hughes in the chair. The first resolution 

 passed was — That, in consideration of the 

 various complicated miseries to which chil- 

 dren are liable who are employed to sweep 

 chimneys, it is the opinion of this meeting 

 that such practice should be abolished ; 

 and that it is expedient measures should 

 be immediately taken in the parishes of 

 Walthamstow and Leyton to promote the 

 use of machines for that purpose. — The 

 meeting was attended by several heads of 

 families of the neighbourhood, and the re- 

 sult was very favourable to the object for 

 which it was called.
