No. 1, Westraizstor-chambers, Victoria-street, Westmin. ster, S.W. The object of this Company is to combine under one management the separate, but naturally eo-operative, businesses of keepers of lodging and boarding-houses and public and private Hotel:. This combination, by which the profits of each will be enhanced, is intended to be carried out at that recently established and most attractive watering-place, West Worthing. A provisional agreement has been entered into for tho lease of the two newly-erected mansions, which, being built in flats, are admirably adapted for the purpose, and the Heeno Hotel for a term of 99 years, and the purchase of the trade and furniture and stock of the hotel at a cost to this Company, including all preliminary expenses, of £40,000. In addition, the sum of £lO,OOO will be required for furniture for the mansions and additional stock and working capital. This amount may be raised under the borrowing powers of tho Company ; it will therefore only bo necessary for present arrangements to call up 40 per cent. of the share capital. The Company has been constituted with the larger aapi tal solely with the view of extending their operations, when the investment has proved to be as remunerative as it is now anticipated it will be. During the time the Hotel has been already in operation it has become evident that it is enpable of largely increasing its business by the addition of more bedroom accommodation, which may bo obtained at a small outlay. The splendid esplanades, pleasure-grounds, baths, and other places of public resort and amusement, which are in progress, coupled with the beauty of the surrounding country, the walks and drives in its vicinity, the salubrity of its climate, the ease with which it will be reached from London by a direst line of railway and train service, which it is the determination of the West Worthing Investment Company to secure, must bring the new watering-place into favour as soon as it has become generally known that good accommodation for visitors has been provided. A large class of:sea-side visitors willfgladly avail them selves of the comfort, economy, and liberal treatment which they may fairly expect at the hands of a public Company in such matters as the occupation of apartments and the victualling departments, in preference to that which they can look for under the existing system. Although the Beene Hotel has been fully occupied since it was opened, no goodwill or promotion money will be paid for the f orma ti on o f th e C om p any . Th e en t erpr i se, which is of a bona fide character, is always in operation, and a return will be immediately realised by the shareholders. After careful consideration of detailed estimates, the Directors shave no hesitation in recording their opinion, that the profits will prove sufficient to pay highly satisfac tory dividends. Prospectuses and forms of application for Shares may be Obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Broker, and no application will be received after the 28th inst. August, 1865.

Smith, Payne, and Smiths, 1, Lombard street, E.C, The mode of admission to the fjciuse is twofold, Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thu r s admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and t tught till they are 11 years of age. With the view to secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case as care ful y investigated by the Committee , and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to Judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1684. It was designed to take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify the e for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beeoome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates trom about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 1 , and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the ferrety) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not h• 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "inn away," none of us shou'd be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th.m ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 70 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of solf-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. rhe Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, the it suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to schwa work—reading, and writing, and cipherinir, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in otjects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white; aper bags for tradesni , n, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c other, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweePlug, while the elder ones c lean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by the Committee, Elections of children to be admitted free will take place as frequently As the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full ; they will then be held periodi- Call y Forms of application for the admission of children may be had at the Home, and of the Honorary t3ecretlry.

The steamship Great Eastern, which left Sheer ness on her important expedition of laying down the Atlantic Cable on the 24th of June last, but which anchored about four miles before the Nore light till the 15th of July before finally .leaving for Valentia, arrived at Sheerness yesterday at 1 p.m. Thousands of spectators were assembled on the beach to witness her entrance of the port, and the band of Sir Charles Talbot, K.C.8., Commander in -Chief, greeted the majestic vessel with " Cheer, boys, cheer," as she passed the flagship Formidable. Her anchors were safely cast at 1 30 p.m., not the slightest accident having happened in her passage through the numerous vessels which lie in the har bour. Her Majesty's screw ironclad vessel Research, 4 guns, Capt. Arthur Wilmshurst, arrived in Port land Roads from Cherbourg on Friday morning last. The stormy weather which has prevailed in the Channel for the past few days is now subsiding, and, with a gradually rising barometer, finer weather is anticipated. The British naval force on the South-East Coast of America in commission at the present time con sists of eight vessels, mounting in the aggregate 60 guns, with a complement of 1,060 officers and men, of 1,280-horse power, and 5,565 tons. Rear-Admi ral the Hon. C. G. J. B. Elliot, C. 8., is the com mander-in-chief, and has his flag in the Narcissus. The Satellite, 21, screw corvette, Capt. S. S. L. Crofton, sailed from Rio de Janeiro for England, July 24, to be paid off. The flagship Fisgard, Commodore Hugh Dunlop, at Woolwich, has undergone thorough repair in her interior accommodation. She has also been masted and rigged anew. The lower deck, appropriated for the men's mess quarters, has been ventilated with port and starboard scuttles, so as to introduce ana tural light during the day, in the place of candles, with which the deck was formerly lighted, and many other improvements have been substituted for the old system, with manifest advantage. Her sides are now being scraped down, and caulking has com menced. Notwithstanding her length of service afloat, and as flagship at Woolwich, many of her timbers arc still in excellent and durable condition. Her Majesty's iron screw troopship Dromedary, Master Commander Allard, at Woolwich, is ordered to ship stores for transport to the West Coast of Africa, to supply the naval stations there. The steam storeship Fox, 1,131 tons, at Woolwich, last week underwent a special survey by the ship wright department, and was bored and sounded for the purposes of ascertaining her condition as to her fitness for further service. The paddlewheel steam tugvessel Bustler, now in the fitting basin at Woolwich, is ordered to undergo a complete overhaul, and defects to be made good. Her Majesty's iron screw storeship Supply, Staff- Commander C. Bowden, at Woolwich, is ordered to be fitted with a steam-engine on board for the pur pose of shipping, unshipping, and working the cargo. The Vivid, paddle yacht, Staff-Commander T. W. Sullivan, and the Dee, paddle storevessel, Master Commander G. Raymond, both sailed for the Thames on Saturday from Portsmouth. The Constance, 35, screw wooden frigate, Capt. E. Barnard, is under orders to sail from Spithead for Plymouth on Tuesday. It is understood that she will complete stores and fittings at Plymouth for foreign service. The Urgent, screw troopship, Capt. S. H. Hen derson, which returned to Portsmouth on Friday last from Cherbourg with naval and military offi cers and civilians, visitors to the Napoleon fetes, will embark this morning alongside Portsmouth dock yard detachments of troops, and sail this evening or early to-morrow for Halifax and Bermuda. • His Belgian Majesty's paddle despatch vessel Belgique, Commander Hoed, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from Cherbourg. The Belgique has 24 officers of the Belgian army and navy on board, sent by their Government on a visit to the French and English ironclad squadrons recently at Cher bourg, and also to the chief English and French naval establishments on either side of the Channel. Soon after the vessel's arrival Commander Hoed paid the usual formal visit to the Admiral and Lieut.-Gen. commanding the port and garrison, ac companied by the Belgian Vice-Consul, the Cheva lier Van den Bergh. Commander Hoed and the officers from the Belgique afterwards visited the dockyard and several of the ships fitting for active service. The Belgique sails from Portsmouth on Tuesday for Ostend. The screw frigate Bristol, 39, 600 horse power, which has been fitted for the first division of the aship on the Chatham Steam Reserve, will succ eed the Rattle snake, 21, 400 horse power, as the fla. west coast of Africa. appointed De- Dr. Armstrong, R.N. , Royal Hospital and puty-Inspector-Gen. of Melvillerecently the Chatham Division of Marines, arrived at Chat ham on Saturday, assum ed the charge of the hospi tal, inspection of the establishment eastnadhussubbniseqehutenintlayll itsma de departments.a In oreer to test the quality of the steel plates which have been sent into Chatham Dockyard, a s supplied by the Cammell Company, Sheffield, who who have taken the contract from the Admiralty, a certain number were selected, at hazard, front the stock now in store, and, with the consent of the authorities, tested at the Government rifle range at Milton, where the troops from Chatham garrison undergo their course of ball practice, the ranges at which the plates were fired at varying from 50 to 300 yards. Each plate was struck by about 100 balls, and they have now been returned to the dock yard for the purpose of enabling an examination to be made of the effects of the shot upon each plate. Taking one of the 4-in. steel plates, of the same kind as those which form the upper deck of the ironclad frigate Bellerophon, the marks of about 80 shots are visible on its surface, a label show ing the range at which each was fired. In the majority of cases so excellent is the steel that the effects of each shot are mere " splashes," while in only some few cases have the minutest indentations been made, the opposite side of the plate being in the same state as before the PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. experiments were commenced. In the case of shots which have struck the extreme edge, the plate in the immediate locality is slightly bent, while a minute examination fails to detect the least appear ance of lamination, showing the plate to be in all respects perfect. The same kind of experiments were also made with one of the half-inch ordinary iron " skin" plates of the Bellerophon, and in this case also the results were equally satisfactory. As in the trials with the steel plates the ranges at which the half-inch iron plate was tested varied from 50 yards to 300 yards, but in no case does the slightest appearance of the plate being penetrated present itself, the majority of the shots making indents only about one-sixteenth of an inch. The results of the trials establish the superiority of the iron of which the Bellerophon's plates are made. The Secretary of State for War has decided that the cavalry barracks at Norwich must be given up at the expiration of the lease in 1866, there being no necessity for retaining them after that period. _ _ _ The division at Aldershott under the command of Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Pennefather, K.C.8., was formed up for field manoeuvres on Ellmoor-hill at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning in line of con tiguous columns at quarter distance, and after in spection and marching past was disposed in order of battle to check the progress of an enemy advancing from Portsmouth via Farnham, and already in pos session of the formidable position of Caesar's Camp. The enemy was found to be particularly strong in cavalry, and to meet this arm the 3d, Bth, and 14th Hussars were brought forward. These troops made some splendid charges, in which they were well supported by the fire of the artillery, then feigned a retreat, and the infantry was thrown into square to resist the rush of the enemy's cavalry. A rapid file-fire was then commenced from the right and left of faces, which threw the enemy into confusion, and the cavalry, supported by the ar tillery, again charged. After a few more manoeuvres by the infantry, ".ceasing firing" was sounded, a general advance was made, and the enemy was driven broken and defeated over Hungry-hill, to wards Farnham. The force on the field consisted of D Battery, Royal Horse artillery, F and B Batteries, 9th Brigade Royal Artillery, 3d, Bth, and 14th Hus sars, 2d Battalion Grenadier Guards, Ist Battalion 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, Ist Battalion 17th Regiment, Ist Battalion 21st Royal Scots Fusi leers, 31st, 69th, 74th, 85th, and 92d Regiments. The movements were exceedingly interesting, and were witnessed by a large number of spectators. The 63d (West Suffolk) Regiment, under the com mand of Lieut.-Col Carter, has arrived at Aldershot Camp, and occupies quarters in the East Infantry Barracks. The marching-in strength was 25 officers 47 sergeants, 17 drummers, 471 rank and file, 77 women, and 116 children. THE 'UNITED STATES. (11 rom the Times Correspondent.) NEW YORK, July 9. The time is now approaching when the second stage in the process of reorganisation in the South will be reached. The first was the appointment of provisional Governors by the President ; the next is the election by the States themselves of members of conventions, which must be held for the purpose of revising the State Constitutions. The temper in which this work will be carried out is an object of great concern at the present moment, for upon it must depend the future policy of the Government, and the prosperity of the States whose fate is once more in their own hands. Mississippi has already elected its members ; Alabama and the Carolinas will elect theirs in the course of a fortnight. Will the feeling which recently prompted the Richmond elections—a feeling of deep hostility to the Govern ment—prevail here also ? If it does, the intricate task which the Administration has before it might be still further complicated for a certain time; but the South itself would be involved in final disaster and ruin. If it were not for the fatal promptings of spurious friends, the South would accept its pre sent position with greater readiness and sincerity than it does at present. But the same evil spirit which impelled it into the first irretrievable mistake of precipitating a war is still pursuing it. There are, indeed, a few of the Southern leaders who urge the people to forget everything now but the laws they are required to obey, and the interests they have to preserve, and the Government is doing its utmost to make this path easy and secure. But, unfortunately, it is a hard thing for the South to accept even clemency at the hand of its victors. They have hated the North with what seemed an undying hatred, and now to be con quered by them, and then pardoned, involves a hu miliation grievous to bear. " Give the South all the time they need," however, is the general senti ment ; " forgive them if they will be forgiven ; if not, have patience with them." The last hope of such of the Southern people as refu,ie to accept the issue of events is in self-expa triation. With great wisdom Gen. Lee has endeav oured to discourage this design by applying for a pardon for himself. He has stated that he knew there were thousands of young men who had served under him who would never apply for pardon until he had done so, and who had resolved to find homes in some other part of the world. He exhorts them to abandon this purpose, and invites them by his example to become true citizens of the established government. Not, without similar dignity has Gen. Wade Hampton, of the Confederate army, ad dressed many hundreds of Southern men who, as lie says in a letter recently written, applied to him to " form a colony to emigrate." " The v ery fact," he tells them, " that our State (South Carolina) is passing through so terrible an ordeal as the present should cause her sons to cling the more closely to her." He entreats the; people to devote themselves to the re-establishment of their trade, to take the oath of allegiance, and to forsake all schemes of future resistance. If all the best men leave th e country, who is to wa tch over its welfare in the Le gislature ? Gen. Hampton advises his countrymen to c h oo se true representatives, and he adds :-- "In the meantime, I shall obtain all information which would be desirable in the establishment of a colony in case we should ultimately be forced to leave the country. I in voke my follow-citizens—especially those who have shared with me the perils and the glories of the last four years— to stand by our State manfully and truly. The Roman Senate voted thanks to one of their generals, because in the darkest hour of the Republic he did not despair. Let us emulate the example of the Romans, and thus entitle ourselves to the gratitude of our country." It is impossible that the tremendous upheaval of social systems which America has seen during the last four years can pass away without leaving deep traces behind. It has set men looking back upon the havoc which it has wrought, and asking, what is to be the end ? To a very great degree lam con vinced that it has unsettled the minds of the most thoughtful men in the country respecting their Go vernment. One revolution has happened; another is not impossible. People ask, "Is the country as happy as a perfect form of government, aided by unlimited resources, ought to make it? Does it knit all parties together, as it is supposed to do by Mr. Bright and his party ? Are we quite free from class jealousies or prejudices? Does the Government even satisfy any one class entirely ? " No candid American will answer these questions in the affirma tive, nor will he deny that his Government is as yet a tentative one. I have heard, almost universally, the haste of some English politicians deprecated in assuming, as they do, that a pure democracy will eventually succeed even here when it is tried under thoroughly favourable conditions. It might astonish the Liberal party in England to know that their doctrine of universal suffrage is distrusted or ab horred by a large portion of the American commu nity. Let any man ask a well-informed American whether the standard of political life is advancing here, he will be informed that it is not. I have often been told, " Congress was an abler body, and conducted its proceedings in a more dignified man- ~~~~~ V EV: S PAP E R ;-::::., -s: ~1 , \> i '*r.4,-1 . 4 .- t . -ig;": 2 . D..„ 4 ,1 4.7. /:? •ietiest • ''. ru 7 . - iTer 30 years ago than now." New World to devise a system manently place the wealthy and thL. at h_ classes under a despotism of the poor and illiterate. Here the lower classes are uppermost. Their con duct shows that the love of tyranny which by some is supposed to be the peculiar attribute of aristocra cies flourishes marvellously in a democracy. The lower orders are not satisfied with being acknow ledged the equals of .the upper ; they take every opportunity of making them understand that as they are numerically superior they intend to obtain the ascendancy in . the State. That the subject occasions serious uneasiness to the Americans them selves might be proved by a hundred quotations from their political writers ; the following from the last number of the best periodical work here, the North American Review, is well worth attention. The writer says : "Nobody who has paid much attention to our political discussions of late years, both in and out of Congress, can have avoided being struck by the general tendency to exact and glorify the poor, apparently for the simple reason that they are poor, and in a corresponding degree to appreciate 'the rich; and, singularly enough, the standard of wealth seems to be, in political phraseology, every year sinking lower and lower. It appeared in a recent debate on the Enrolment Bill in the Senate that to be 'rich,' for political purposes, a man need now-a-days only possess an income of $2,000 (.£400) a year, no matter from what source he derives it. Once in receipt of this or any greater sum an nually, it seemed to be the conclusion of some of the speakers that he l os t a ll cla i m to tenderness, consideration, or even justice, on the part of the Government, It was gravely proposed by on e sena t or to d raught him, or, in case be provided a sub s tit ute, to levy a tax of .5 per cent. on his income for the full term for which he might have been liable to serve. The same writer goes on to complain that the best men in the country are excluded from the civil service, which is filled up by persons who have re ceived the reward of corruption. In point of fact, it is not a creditable thing to be in the civil service of America. In local affairs the effect of universal suffrage is seen in a striking form in thi s c it y. T he taxes are great, the receipts enormous, and the ex penditure upon the city is small. But vast sums are expended in jobs, and no one can prevent it, for the officers are elected by the masses, no re spectable men will vote, and the candidates say to the mob, " You vote for us, and we'll provide for you." Hence contracts are invented to compensate political dishonesty, and the true interests of the city are neglected. These are facts which are ac knowleged by every truthful man. In national affairs the same influences are felt, and Mr. J. S. Mill, although an admirer of American institutions, admits that political life, though here a most valu able school-- "Is a school from which tho ablest teachers are ex cluded ; tho first minds of the country being as effectually shut out from the national representation, and from public functions generally, as if they were under a formal dis qualification The people, like the despot, is pursued with adulation and sycophancy, and the cor rupting effects of power fully keep pace with its improving and ennobling influences." This passage exactly interprets the condition and views of Americans who have best studied the affairs of their country. It is a mistake to suppose that they are so enamoured of their political institutions as to be unwilling to hear them discussed. They begin such discussions eagerly, if they are sure of fair and impartial treatment, and they smile at the assertions of men on the other side of the Atlantic, that the " success of universal suffrage in America renders its adoption in England imperative." " Who tells them it is a success? " they ask ; and one re marked to me, " I think England used us rather badly in the war, but I never wish to see such a fate befall her as universal suffrage would involve you all in. Depend upon it, it would prove your ruin, and the next revolution we have will be owing to it." Universal suffrage is felt to be the bane of the country. It tends to destroy all that ought to be pre served, and to maintain all that ought to be destroyed. I give you these opinions because they . are held by the foremost citizens of the Republic, and because the whole subject (in addition to its intrinsic interest and importance) is involved in the settlement of the present difficulties before the country. If the first element of good government is wanting, namely, the power to inspire the governed with confidence in the ' future, it is absurd to speak of it as settled and per fect. Now, it is not possible that the rich can have such confidence in the future as would induce them to invest their capital freely, even in national securi tics, when such a crime as "repudiation" is possible. And year after year thousands of new men are brought into the franchise—men who are just of age, or sett lers who have taken up their rights of citizenship ; and they will not value the glory of the war so highly as those who had a part in it. When one candidate for Congress says to them, " Take me and you shall be relieved of these burdensome taxes," and another says, " I will vote for the continuance of taxation ;" are not the probabilities in favour of the return of the first almost overwhelming ! Would anyone like to make a similar experiment in England? If the people there could vote the income tax off their shoulders, or choose whether they should pay it or not, the re venue from that source would probably be sensibly diminished. It is a similar probability which helps to keep American affairs in a state of unrest. It would not be so if property and intelligence were represented as well as numbers. Yet if the bulk of the people are as careful of their honour and as soli citous for the future during the time of peace as they were during the time of war, the clouds which are now gathering on the horizon will be dispersed be fore they can break into an angry storm such as that which has recently swept over the continent and left death and misery in its train. You will have learnt by telegraph that General Sheridan's projects on the Rio Grande have been suspended by a Government order requiring him to muster out all volunteers from his forces. Sheridan himself is on his way to New O r l eans. The trial of Capt. Wirtz is postponed, but evidence of his cruelty towards the Union prisoners at Andersville pours in daily. The feeling in the North against this man is so great that unless he is well guarded by his gaolers he may meet his death without a trial. The bulletin of the Paris Ob serva t ory g i ves th e following as the atmospheric situation yesterday : " A long series of gales has for some days been passing over Europe, taking the direction of Scot land, towards Denmark, Poland, and Russia. Some of them are descending into the centre of our Con tinent and threatening the Adriatic and Italy. This morning thunder was heard at Trieste. The sky is variable in the centre and East of France ; it is cloudy or rainy in the West and on the Atlantic, from Corunna to Penzance. More bad weather is coming on."—Yesterday, in Paris, the weather was dry but with a heavy sky during the greater part of the day. The thermometer at three in the afternoon marked 24 centigrade (75 1-5 Fahrenheit). The aqueduct of from 30 to 40 leagues in length, which, during the last two years, by order of the Prefect of the Seine, has been in course of construc tion to bring the waters of the Dhuys to the heights of Mdnilmontant, is now nearly completed. The water arrived at a basin near the gate of M6nilmon tant for the first time three days back. The con duit for bringing the waters of the Marne from Gravel to the same point of 1116nihnontant is not yet entirely terminated, but no doubt is entertained that the water will be flowing into various quarters of Paris before the end of the present day. • The Moniteur announces four other promotions to the rank of Officer in the Legion of Ilonour,and 99 nominations as Knight in the same order, on the occasion of the 15th August.

The Lowestoft lifeboat in connection with the National Institution was immediately launched, and fortunately took off four men from the vessel and brought them safely on shore. Two of the crew had gone adrift in the ship's boat, and were picked up by a Cortou yawl. The vessel ultimately floated off and was safely brought into Lowestoft Harbour by means of the lifeboat and the steam tug Sailor of Yarmouth, the crew of the lifeboat working at the pumps. She was found to be the brigantine Light of the Harem, of Whitstable, bound from Hartlepool to Woolwich with a cargo of coals.

This Institution is designed to supp ly aa ly great national want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in the Royal Navy and Merchants Nervic,e and of Marines. It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic service, and provides a home free of expense for former inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the temptations they might otherwise be exposed to. The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the recent storms and loss f life at sea, and t o enable them eyenivally to obtain premises more commensurate with the necessities of this great m aritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually, by casualties alone.
