THE TEMPORARY HOME POR SINGLE WOMEN LEAPING THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE'S LYING ANMOSPITAL, MARYLEBONE ROAD. --4--- The following appeal has been issued :—The seta, blishmest of a temporary home, or plane of refuge, for the fallen and destitute women discharged from the Queen Char lotte's Lyintin Hospital, is the Principal object of this appeal. Them women receive their discharge at the end of three weeks from the dam of their delivery. They are generally unfit for active work, wretched and destitute, some with the additional burden of a newborn child, and, bocce, they are often driven to fresh sin and misery, and perhaps to crime. The object of the "Home" would be to shelter them until completely able to work, to give them an oppor. Lenity of redeeming the put and of starting afresh ; above all, to awaken them by religious influences to repentance and amendment of life. To gain these sada, it is proposed.- 1. To receive a certain number of these women with their children, as they here the hospital, for a period of one month ; each woman to contribute, ae far as possible, to the support of the home while she remains in it. 2. That suitable employment should he sought for those who are able to work, means being taken, by registry, &c., to watch over their career after they leave the home. 3. That where practicable and advisable, the worst caws should be transferred to penitentiaries. 1. To establish as infant home for the children of those who may prove worthy of future usistence. The mothers, is all such cases, to contribute towards the support of the children. 5. To obtain the services of • visiting chaplain, who, in conjunction with the lady superinterident, should ad minister religious instruction to the women. It is justly urged as a strong motive for the establishment of this home, that, duriog the time of oonvalearence the vivid recollection of put danger and suffering, together with the newly emplaned instinct of • mother, render these women more alive to the voice of kindness, end, it is hoped, to the voice of conacimus. It moat also be borne in mind, that the women whom it is hoped to reach do not belong to the more hardened clean of offenders, otherwise they would not obtain admittance into the hos. pital. Assistance is earnestly sought to raise • few of these fallen ones. The seed, though small at the commencement, nosy, through God's blessing, bring forth good fruit, "thirty, sixty, a hundredfold." The committee of the Queen Charlotte's Lying-ie Hospital have approved the proposed institution, and promised their cordial Do-operation. The services of • lady superintendent h►ve been offered. As soon as sufficient foods mu be col lected, a suitable house in the neighbourhood of the hospital will he taken, and the work begun. It is estimated that • sum of at least 500/. will be requisite for the fint year's expenditure, of which WO/. Isis been already promised. Li - mations, and especially almost subscriptions, are ear nestly solicited for the work, and may be paid into the Cos polidweed Bank.

Additional.] AMERICA. (nom ma SPZCIAL CORILLIPONDMIT.) NEW YORK, D=c. 10. If anything would put to shame the crowd of "Southern gentlemen" by whom London and Paris and New York have been infested for the last three years, it would be the opinion of them and their doings entertained by their own country men and government. I of course r4sr to that portion of them who have cast off theii allegiance to the United States, and who desire the success of the revolution. There is a small number who have been forced to abandon their homes in consequence of their attachment to the old order of things ; but the vast majority are persons who, while pro fessing the greatest devotion to the Confederacy, have quitted it merely because they are un willing to share the sufferings and sacrifices necessary for its defence. These people are found in great numbers in all the hotels, boarding-houses, and lodging-houses both here and in the European capitals. A very large pro portion of them are persons like Mr. Slidell, of Northern and very humble origin, and yet parade themselves in English and French drawing-rooms era representatives of the " Southern aristocracy," "descendants of the cavaliers," tkc., and make a prodigious show of devotion to the Confederate cause by diligently abusing Lincoln and the Yankees, and sending "heartrending" and lying letters to the Times and Morninj Herald. But this is the only kind of service the Confederacy has ever been able toget out of them. Those of them who are able to scrape any money together devote them selves to speculation in cotton and Confederate bonds, and to blockade running, and endeavour to console themselves for the misfortunes which have overtaken their beloved country by making as much money out of them as possible. Those of them who, while detesting the "Lincoln despotism," have not the smallest hesitation about living under it, occupy themselves as spies, Confederate mail agents, hatchery of plots, and in writing virulent abuse of the government for that portion of the "gagged press" of the North which is devoted to Confederate interests. In the begiuuing of the war the absence of these worthies from the land of their love was not only not of much consequence, but was productive of some benefit to it. They are generally glibe, facile, and plausible, like most shirkers of danger and responsibility, and were con sequently useful iu humbugging and hoodwinking Europeans, who previously knew nothing whatever of American affairs, about the causes and tendencies of the struggle. But the period of their usefulness in this way has passed, and the Confederacy is just now in sore need not of their tongues, but of their arms. The great want of the South at present is not of adventurers to give specimens of its "de portment " abroad, but of able-bodied men to fill the ranks of its armies at home. Governor Brown, of Georgia, has just liberated the convicts in the gaol at Macon, and put anus into their bawls. I should think that when the " cultivated gentlemen" of the South, who are now entertaining Londoners with stories of Confederate wrongs, hear of this, they would, "all business and excuses bein g laid aside," at once go home. How little grati tude is felt by their countrymen for the services they are rendering their cause abroad, may be in ferred from the following passage about them from the liteltmonci Examiner of Dec. 6 : We cannot account for the large numbers of Southern people who are stated to be flocking into Gomm! Dix's headquarters in New York for " registry." They must be • very paltry set of poor devils, who have abandoned their own country to avoid military dirty, or to spend oar money, which they have stoles in Confederate service, or to invent in Northern stocks and greenbacks the profits of their blockade rosining trade. Whether any of these be the sneaking felons who tried to set fire to the hotels we are not ; the question is indifferent to us, yet email as our interest may be in that abeeetes population, it is right to say that no man in the world will believe the inceradiarism was • rebel plot by reamer of &alibiing that any Yankee can say or swear. The reward of fifty thousand dollars will no doubt produce a cloud of witnesses pre. pared not only to bring home the crime to Southern slavebolders, but also to forge toil to prove the express commission to burn New York, under the hand of the Coefederate Secretary of State. Farther, if it should have happened that some Southern seas who has seen his own house burned by Yankee invaders, and his own children turned naked out of doom, did repair to New York, and then and there did lay the whole city in ashes, nobody need wonder nor affect horror. In Richmond, dace this war began, there have been at least twenty incendiary fires, many of them evidently prepared in combination—not to count, of course, the one arranged for us by Turpentine Dahlgren. The destructive fire in Charleston, also, which destroyed ore-third of the city, was almost beyond a doubt the work of Yankee incendiaries—to say nothing of Gil more's "Greek fire." About seven towns have beau burned in Georgia within the past month ; and as this was done in the course of an unjust invasion, Gemmel Sher. man, in burning each and every the of theme places, was • viler criminal and baser felon than the man with the black valise. Although, therefore, we wholly deny that there was any "rebel plot" to destroy New York, and that these States or this confederacy had any complicity whatsoever with that tinny/action, yet if New York were burned down, together with Boston and Philadelphia, by vengeful and desperate men who have been burnt out of house and home themselves, the incident would be sooth ing to every well regulated mind. In the meantime let General Dix be strict in "registering" and keeping under surveillance all the skulking Southerners he finds loafing in New York. It will be well to know bow many of them are there, and who they are. If we could also get from the police books of Paris and Loudon • record of the numerous Southern ladies and geothunen who are striving in those cities to make the time pass pleasantly until this cruel war is over—leaving the risk and privation to as at home—together with the date of their appearance in those capitals, and the length of time they stay them, it might he useful for future reference. From private letters we learn that in Paris especially are lugs numbers of Southerners, many of them purporting to be Confederate officers, and noouionally sporting the Confederate uniform, dawdling is the cal& sod on the boulevards. They are beautiful to look at; their uniforms are cut by Parisian tailors, and their Lim and buttons dazzle the Champs Elysi'es. When the Emperor reviews the troops the. gentlemen some times hire a hone, and are semi at the Champ de Man ; for the gallant fellows take • great interest in military matters-far from home. Several of them "were at the battle of Jitheasaa "—they do not exactly specify which—sod have even ornamental wounds. Of these creatures some, we know, have been emit to Europe on various frivolous pretexts, at their own request, but at our espenee, by the State Dope:Went ; but the majority have crept out of their country by various underhand and nadergrocod ways, simply to avoid the service they owe their country. They not only desert the Confederacy, but libel it also, by presenting themselves as specimens of its °Biases. They are worse then the man with the "black valise ;" foe they will never set on fire even so moth as the river Selma Faithful citizens, who take their stand with their ormatry for weal or woe, will applaud the bill now before Oorigrees for confiscating the property—if laity they hath—of those who have quitted the Coefederacy during the war without permission and without neconsity, and fat dealing with them all se alien enemies. Those of them who are of fighting age and not disabled are simply deserters, sad the death of a dereeter would be too good for them. [TWOPENCE It is well to know that General Dix is keeping a sharp look out upon that class of persona in New York. We shall have an eye upon them at this side. I may mention here, in reference to the allusion in the above to the orders said to have been found in Colonel Dahlgren's pocket by the "bush whackers " who killed and stripped his body, direct ing the burning of Richmond, and killing of the Confederate leaders who might be caught in it, that Admiral Dahlgren, Lis father, publicly pro nounced them three months ago to be a base and malignant forgery. Photographs of them were said to have beeu taken at Richmond, but it was a long time before a copy could be procured, and when at last one was furnished, the Admiral at once pronounced the handwriting to be neither his son's nor anything resembling hie son's. The President's message only reached New York an hour before the last mail closed, and I had con sequently notime to say anything either of it, or of the manner in which it had been received by the public. By the time this reaches you, you will have had it before you for some days, and will have formed your own judgment about it. His failure to express any opinion as to the legality or morality of the seizure of the Florida has naturally disappointed and chagrined that portion of the public here who are anxious that the United States should cut a good figure in the matter in the eyes of foreign nations. The language both of the mes sage and of the report of the Secretary of the Navy is taken to indicate that the government will await the Brazilian demands before deciding on its own course ; but I ant told that there does not exist in soy quarter the smallest disposition to avoid doing substantial justice. Reparation will, I think, be made ; but an effort will be made to diminish its amount by urging on the consideration of the Bra zilian government such points as the essentially English character of the Florida, both as regards her origin, her crew and armament ; the abnormal character given to her career by the fact that the Confederacy has no ports, and that her base of operations has always been on neutral soil ; sad her having, as is alleged, ou various occasions violated the rules laid down by Brazil for the pro tection of her neutrality ; and her having, as well as the Alabama, by pushing Lord Stowell's rule to its extreme limits, and burning every ship that fell into her hands, aggravated the ordinary barbarity of warfare. It will be maintained, I think, that while none of these things can for a moment jus tify such an outrage as that committed by Captain Collins, they may fairly be urged in mitigation of damages ; and the correspondence of Mr. Pitt with the British Minister at the Court of Portugal in reference to the satisfaction to be given fur the pursuit and destruction of some French ships on Portuguese territory, has been cited in support of this view of the subject. In that case no compen sation was ever made, but any apology was offered that would not in its terms involve a censure on the distinguished admiral who committed the outrage. In fact, somebody, and it is said to be Mr. Sumner, has taken the trouble to hunt up seven teen cases of violation of neutral jurisdiction by British naval officers in which no reparation was ever made. It is not pretended that these are precedents which the United States would be justi fied in following ; and if not, you will probably ask why cite them at all, especially in a controversy to which England is not a party. The answer is, that as usual the high moral tone taken by the English press as soon as the news reached England, and the sermons which it at once set about delivering to the Yankees on the atrocity of their behaviour, before one word was known as to the light in which the Federal govern went would view the affair, produced the greatest exasperation. When the news was received here, the act of Captain Collins was universally con demned by the respectable portion of the press, and as far as I was ever able to learn the public acquiesced in their view of it. But the very next mail brought the usual declaration from the London press upon Yankee "bullying," " engem pulousueas, " " contempt for law," coupled, as in the Trent affair, with the assumption that the act was authorised by the government, and that it would support it ; and there were some hints, too, that the maritime powers would have to interfere, I suppose to bring the " New York mob" to its Pauses. You know very well by this time what the effect of this always is on the Ame rican public. From the moment that it seemed possible that England might meddle in it, a feeling in favour of giving no satisfaction at all to anybody began to show itself, and at this moment I think the government would find more support in refusing to do justice than it would have found three weeks ago. The Anglophobists went to work, and soon showed—for, as everybody knows, nothing is easier—that when Great Britain was really mistress of the seas she was not very particular as to where she caught her enemies, and seventeen cases of high-banded violation of neutral jurisdiction by the English navy were, as I have said, speedily discovered. The most that these prove of course, in this matter of the Florida, is that preaching ou this subject comes with a bad grace from English pulpits, but it also tries the Americans in their weakest point, and by throwing them into a rage, tempts them to take up positions that io their calm moments they would never think of defending. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury cer tainly dues not sustain the popular estimate of his abilities, and of the conservative tone of his mind. There is at least in it onepassage from which it is not difficult for a hostile critic to extract indications of a disposition to resort to further issues of greenbacks, though this is something on which I am satisfied, unless the feeling of Congress and of the public on this point greatly changes, he would not think of venturing under any circumstances. He makes use also of several expressions calculated to raise the suspicion that in certain contingencies he would not hesitate to pay the interest in paper currency which is now paid in gold, and indulges iu some. thing very like a suggestion or approval of penal legislation against the "gold speculators." What is most curious is, however, that he dwells on the diminution of the customs receipts almost with satisfaction, as he thinks that as far as revenue is concerned the government is more than compen sated by the increased returns front the taxes on the native industry promoted by the high duties. On the whole the report is au extremely disappointing one, and gold has been rising somewhat ever since its appearance, though it owed its first leap up wards to another absurd bill introduced by Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, prohibiting all dealings in gold, and even its exportation. It was thrown out, but not till its effect on the market had re reeled its folly. 1
