PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.G. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, an d h ave to spend n i g ht a ft er n i g ht in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Roy.

T EETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.— The fear of pain and dread of ope - ation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex , ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialitd r.ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non - interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth arc cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted. For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide " Lancet" Messrs.

The nomination of candidates took place yester day, the hustings being erected on the Cornhill. There was a vast assemblage of persons, and each party had a procession, headed by brass bands, the splendid banners of blue and the orange and purple being displayed, as is usual on these occasions. Mr. John Trevor proposed and Mr. I. R. Smith seconded Mr. Patton, the Conservative candidate ; and Mr. J. L. Sealy proposed and Mr. J. B. llammill seconded Mr. Walter Bagehot, the Liberal candidate. Mr. PATTON, who first spoke, was frequently interrupted in the course of his speech by some of the roughs on the Liberal side, who appeared deter mined not to let him speak. Tie commented rather strongly upon his opponent having charged him with being incapacitated from the post of Parlia mentary representative for Bridgwater on the grounds of his being a Scotchman, and for having dared to auestion his antecedents and call him an unknown man. It was a mean, dastardly insinua tion. His opponent had alleged there was a demand for reform, and that if the bill were withdrawn they would be afterwards subjected to a system of terror, and be compelled eventually to do much more than the Government now proposed to do ; but this he denied. All this imaginary terrorism was palpably absurd. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had gone down into the provinces to endeavour to stir up a little agitation in favour of reform, but in vain. Instead of remaining at the helm to pilot the state, he had gone to the forecastle deck and whistled away to get up a storm, but the sea remained calm, there was scarcely a ripple to be seen, and the winds and waves would not obey the voice of the charmer. (Laughter.) Lord Palmerston's Reform Bill was withdrawn because he found that an organic change was hostile to the spirit of the times. What was the result of that withdrawal ? Did it rouse the ire of the country, and increase the clamour for reform then ? Not a bit of it ; everything remained, as quiet and as peaceful as before ; and so it would be now. If the present administration sneaked out of the Reform Bill, and let it drop, in order to carry on that ad ministration, instead of the people clamouring more loudly for reform they would be thankful that the 1 Legislature had abandoned it, and had determined to engage in promotin g measures b etter adapted to 1 the public weal. The Reform Bill would affect, to a degree incredible, the great agricultural inte rest of the country, and it was time for those con nected with that interest, which would, by the lowering of the franchise, be swamped and de stroyed, to rally around and support those who were opposed to the administration of Earl Russell and Messrs. Bright and Gladstone. The Budget of the last-named gentleman, now before the Parliament, was not the work of a philosophical financier, but that of a man given to change and surprise, and who acted upon very strange principles. What a great public boon was the abolition of the tax on pepper ? (Laughter.) Did the consumers ever feel the burden of that tax ? No. And it produced no Less a sum than £113,000 a year, an amount exceed ing by one-fourth the whole sum granted for uni versity education in the country whence he came— Scotland. In conclusion, Mr. Patton said that he anticipated victory, and if most unexpectedly and against all moral probability he should retire from contest a defeated and not a victorious candidate, he should always have engraved on the tablets of his heart the kindness he had received at Bridg water, the memory of which would be ineffaceable and imperishable. Mr. BAGEIIOT next addressed those assembled, and was also much interrupted. He assured Mr. Patton he meant no disrespect towards him in what he had said. All he meant to say was that people they knew were far preferable than those they did not know, and whose antecedents they had not the same opportunity of inquiring into. Mr. Westropp, their late member, was an Irishman, and he should have thought it was hardly consistent with old Scotch pride that a Scotchman should try to get into Par liament by catching hold of the skirts of an Irish man. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Patton had very discreetly omitted to make allusion to the disastrous event which had happened to the Conservative party, who thought, but wrongly, that the Liberals had got many traitors in their camp. After what had happened, Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone were now more firmly seated than ever, and Lord Derby had no more chance of getting into office again than the NEWTON SUMMER MEETING—WEDNESDAY.

Royal Botanic Society of London. The second summer show in the gardens of this society in Regent's-park took place yesterday, and was in every way a success. The afternoon, al though somewhat threatening at times, was free from rain, and the visitors were consequently enabled to enjoy the beauty of the grounds, which may be now said to be in their prime. The show of flowers took place in the large marquee, and was an excellent one, and the brightness of the colours on entering was almost dazzling. There was a good display of miscellaneous greenhouse plants, Cape heaths, variegated and fine foliaged plants, exotic and English ferns, which being tastefully arranged in groups among the more gorgeous plants afforded relief to the eye, and at the same time added much to the general effect. The pelargoniums, which were in large numbers, were unusually fine ; they were of great size, and covered with well-opened and perfect blossoms. The light varieties were best re presented by Crystal Beauty, Delicatum, Fair Ro samond, and Desdemona ; while for bright colours, Conflagration and Lord Clyde attracted most at tention. There were also many well-grown azaleas, adding much to the sweetness of the scene, and the roses were in perfection. Amongst the variegated plants we may mention—Phormium tenax, or New Zealand flax, variegated yellow ; variegated meadow grass, very white and pretty ; maize or Indian corn, the leaves striped white ; some fine begonias, with their silvery red leaves; a fine collection of agaves, or the American aloe. There were also a very large and choice collection of orchids, which delight the eye by their curious forms, and fill the air with choice colours. The bright lselias Cattleyas, den drobiums, plalanopsis, and the very curious urope dium Lindenii, and selinipedium condatum, were as fine as could be wished. The fancy-leaved horse shoe geraniums, now so much in favour, attracted much attention. There was a nice collection of bedding geraniums from white to scarlet, and very well grown. Among the many new rare and curious plants the following deserve men tion :—Paulonia imperials, a new hardy tree from Lord Macclesfield's gardens, with magnifi cent bunches of flowers, some eight inches high, of a delicate purple colour and fine cents ; fine blue clamatis flowers, quite 5 inches across, called Velutina, purpurea and Magnifica ; a curious Indian radish, the seed-pods, 3 feet long—they are said to grow 2 or 3 inches in one night ; a new variegated vine ; pelargonium album plenum, or double flowered white pelargonium ; aubrietia Campbellii, a pretty little plant for rock work, covered with violet flowers ; and the ornithogalum thyrisordis alba. Messrs. Veitch and Son had a large stand of curious plants, the names of a few of which we have only space to mention. The cut roses, panzies, &c., were much admired, and the fruit was well grown. Mr. Waterer's American plants are quite an exhi bition in themselves, and well worth a visit. We understand they will be in full perfection for some days, and the society have decided upon opening the gardens to the public on this day, to-morrow, and Saturday. The Princess Helena,-attended by Lady Barrington and General Gray, and also the Duchess of Cambridge, honoured the gardens by an early visit, and among the company we noticed the Bishop of Winchester, the Brazilian, Swedish, French, Austrian, Spanish, and American ambassadors. The bands of the First and Second Life Guards, per formed during this afternoon. School Ship Society. The sixth annual meeting of this society was held yesterday, at No. 24, New-street, Spring-gardens ; Sir John Pakington, M.P., in the chair. Mr. Stephen Cave, M.P., the honorary secretary, read the report of the committee, which stated that the progress of the institution continues sound and satisfactory. The number of boys on board the reformatoryschool ship Cornwall, now lying in the Thames, off Pur fleet, Dec. 31, 1864, was 140 ; in 1865 the admis sions were 77 ; the re-admissions from license, 2 ; a total of 80 ; there hadfrom beenabsconding 64 disci ; discharged ; making 156 boys in the ship on Dec. 31, 1865. The steady increase of ad missions, which rose from 25 in 1863, to 50 in 1864, and 77 in 1865, showed that the value of the insti tution was becoming more and more appreciated, and the conduct of the boys after leaving the ship bore equal testimony to the efficiency of the system carried out on board. The behaviour of the boys had been during the year satisfactory, and their general health good ; but there had been one death from con sumption, of a lad who was in bad health when he came on board. The balance-sheet was more unfavourable than that of last year. The boys were still very far short of the full complement. This had added ma terially to the expense ; but the most serious cause for anxiety was the state of the ship itself, the upper deck of which was in a very rotton condition when made over to the society. The rigging now requires refitting, and portions of it have to be replaced ; the upper deck must be caulked and repaired ; the cook ing apparatus was completely worn out ; the hull required caulking outside, and a considerable outlay would be necessary in future for general repairs, in order to keep the ship sound and dry. Forty-six boys had visited the Cornwall during the year, hav ing either returned in their ships from foreign voy ages, or being otherwise in employment ; written, and of many others satisfactory reports d the a been received. The character maintained by was boys had been such that the difficulty many had which ment had once experienced in finding them e entirely passed away.

Irishman's knife, for when the repairs were effected there would be very little of the original vessel left. The presentation took place when he was at the Admiralty, and as it had certainly been far from his intention to present the society with a rotten ship, the present state of things, he thought, ought not to be allowed to continue. HQ regretted to find that the society received no support 'from the Middlesex magistrates, nor did he like the idea of a society like this becoming a begging society, but DWI he could not help being struck by the man in the moon for years to come. The Liberal party, which he should support, represented prin ciples which had triumphed all through the history of this country, and they met the wants of the age ; the Conservativ es, on the contrary, stood still, and the consequence was—like men who stood still on the strand, neither looking to the right or the left— they got knocked .down. (Laughter and cheers.) Ilis opponent was prepared to follow the example of the old Egyptians, who embalmed the human frame and bequeathed the mummy to posterity. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he called upon his supporters to be early at the poll on the following morning. A show of hands was then taken, and although it was apparent that it predominated on the side of the Liberals, the Mayor very u nexpectedly declared that it was in favour of Mr. Patton. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. JAS. SULLY (one of the leaders of the Liberal party) complained that the proceedings had not been conducted impartially ; it was clear to every one who had eyes to see with that there were at least one third more hands held up in favour of Bagehot than for Mr. Patton. elect Committee on Theatrical Licences and Regulations. A paper has been delivered in to this committee by Mr. Fred. Stanley, solicitor, on behalf of the London Music-hall Proprietors' Protection Association, in which he states that he has had experience for the last 17 years in the manage ment of music -halls, having been connected with the " Canterbury Hall" from the time it was first opened, subsequently became one of the proprietors in partnership with Mr. Chas. Morton, the originator of the present system myself e o s f t n a abulissi h c - e h d a t l h l s e ; „ a o nd xf su er b d seq ,,, w u h en ie t h ly M lea r r . ri M e o d r o to n n caonnd jointly with him till 1863, when I was anxious to resume my beca p m rn e f s e o ss le in p n ; o n p n ri d e l to s r ol o d f my bo inthi to ekn Mr e es ~ establishments.

On t h e site now occupied by the Canterbury Hall was an ordinary public-house, called the Canterbury Arms, where a singing meeting was held once a week, attended by respectable tradesmen and mechanics. This was called in those days a "free-and-easy." When Mr. Morton opened the singing room at the Canterbury Arms it was only capable of hold ing 100 people. Subsequently, at the solicitation of the frequenters of his room, he opened the room one evening in each week for the admission of his visitors and their wives. Finding the room then built not large enough, another larger one was built, which is the present " Canter bury Hall," capable of holding 2,000 persons. The total cost of the present hall, picture gallery, and pictures must have amounted to at least £40,000. In order to induce first-class vocalists to sing at music -halls, Mr. Morton offered Mr. Sims Reeves £1,200 for a month, to sing once each evening. The next hall was opened byMr. Weston, in Holborn, and now there are some 23 music-halls in London. Low singing -rooms have ceased to exist since the estab lishment of music-halls. " The Oxford" was opened in 1861, previous to which £35,000 was expended upon it. Mr. Stanley further states, "During the two years 1 was in terested in the two establishments (the Canterbury and Oxford), we paid £24,828 for salaries of artists and profes sional persons, or at the rate of £12,414 per annum, or about £238 per week. As much as £2O and £3O per week has been paid for a single performer." " I believe," he says, "it is impossible to get a comic song written worthy of the present age. Mr. Morton once offered and paid a premium for the purpose, but it was unsuccessful." The music hall proprietors of London do not desire that the right of performance of stage plays should be entirely thrown open. They only desire the right of performance of light pieces, and that the number of performers in a stage pffhvr p r ireaeo l e a slrm i ne y t oy. tlashrnebbelieve thfs shouldoccurrence be limited, say to five or six persons.

Music hall proprietors frequently expend more than their receipts for admission in the cost of the entertainments which they produce. They expend a por tion of their profits on refreshments, and therefore if the privilege of selling refreshments be taken away, the prices of the entertainment must be considerably higher, or its quality lower, or music halls cannot be carried on at a pro fit. The present systeni of licensing I consider bad. I think the tribunal for granting music and dancing licences is un satisfactory. It is composed of a vast number of gentlemen who are appointed magistrates by political influence. There is no appeal from the October sessions. There is a good deal of private influence used in matters of licences. I have no ticed that at times there is a disposition to grant licences freely, and at other times the feeling of the bench has been quite the reverse. No reasons are given for the decisions ar rived at. The present law defining stage plays is veryobjec tionable. At the Canterbury Hall a constable is provided from the police station, and paid for by the proprietor, in order to have some person in authority in case of need. Mr. Morton applied to have a policeman allotted to him at the Oxford, but was refused by the police authorities. I consider that the restriction on the performance of stage plays should be partially removed. It is advisable to proceed by steps ; first, the restriction should be partially removed, which will give an opportunity hereafter of ascertaining whether it will be advisable to remove eventually the re striction entirely. It -is advisable that a new tribunal should be appointed for the purpose of granting licenses for music-halls and of hearing complaints against the pro prietors. It should ba composed of at least two persons , who should be high in authority, inasmuch as the pro pertyto e th e e atre pr l op e ri ve e r tor th s e th ra a aa t t i h e e . under their control represents great wealth. It is ih N , e ol Lord s ; undesirable Chamberlain l l anddesirable thhoneunlpfdt proprietor have r a p t ri a ete th r e ma atre ke sh ap o p u h ld ea be uen tu f rn er ed a licence and conform to the law. So, also, if it be required to turn a music-hall into a theatre, there should be an ap peal from this new tribunal to one of the superior courts upon points of law, but not upon matters of discretion.

In the former it was only £153, while in the latter it was very:nearly £3,000, going, indeed, a long way towards defraying the whole charge of the institution. It was gratifying to know that of the 297 boys who had left the ship only 21 had re lapsed into the evil ways from which it was the ob ject of the institution to reform them. The Mar quis of Westminster briefly seconded the _motion, expressing the warm interest be took in the success of the society. The Rev. Sydney Turner, one of the visiting committee, while bearing testimony to the useful action of reformatories and ragged schools, deplored the increase of juvenile crime which was now taking place in London and Liver pool. Throughout the country generally there had been a deer-ease; but in those two centres the increase last year was far beyond the ratio of increase in the population, thus showing that more reformatory agencies . were required. He mentioned that 77 per cent. of the boys sent forth from the ship were doing well, and explained that the reason the Mid dlesex magistrates did not support the society was because they had a reformatory of their own at Feltham ; but then it should be remembered that offenders over 14 years of age could not be sent to that school, while here they would be received up to 16. The motion having been unanimously passed, Mr. Stephen Cave, M.P., in proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman, took the opportunity of stating that the desire of the committee was to make the ship self-supporting, and that if it were used a little more by the authorities it soon would be so. Mr. Robert C. Hanbury, M.P., seconded the motion, and promised to moot the question on the Middle d sex bench. Sir John Pakington, in acknowledging the compliment, recommended that the bad state of the ship and the necessity for its immediate repair should be forthwith brought under the notice of the Board of Admiralty, who, he was persuaded, would render some assistance in the matter.
