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, and have to spend night'after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £l,OOO 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 Rev. D. GILBERT, D.D., No. 22, Finsbury-circus, E.C. DONORS AND SUBSCRIBERS TO THE REFUGE.

Seventy years ago a poor young actor in Munich, named Senefelder, having written one or two comedies, and not having the means to publish them, was trying various methods of engraving his em on his own p r i nter ; b ut, inasmuch Copper plates and o th erw i se , with a view as his writings had to be executed b ac k wards on the plate works, i by of etching becomingt h in order to read forwards when reversed in printing, he was obliged to practise this ba ck - engraving on some cheaper substance than copper plates; and accordingly he pro cured some Kilhelm stone, which he found to be a suitable material for his purpose. In his etching experiments he made use of an oleaginous inky compound, capable of re sisting the acid used in the etching process. On one occa sion he was desired by his mother to take a list of articles about to "go to the wash," and, as his most convenient writing materials at hand were one of his stone slabs and his etching ink, the list was duly made out upon the stone. When the time came to r u b it off, it occurred to him that by eating away with acid th e parts of the stone uncovered by the writing-ink, so as to obtain the writing in relief, he might be able to print from it. This he suc ceeded in doing ; and he moreover found that it was not necessary to have the letters raised above the stone, as the chemical properties which kept grease and water separate were quite sufficient to keep the ink, when applied by the dabber, from adhering to any other part of the stone than the greasy letters. Improvement followed discovery, and after devoting attention to the perfection of a press and suitable printing appliances, and having found a partner in the person of a musician,liossessed of a small capital, to help him, Senefelder published his first lithographs, some pieces of music, in 1796. H i e patented hi s process i n vari ous countries, and in 1801 t was introduced into England, whore it was first used in the Quartermaster -General's office at the Horse Guards for printing maps of the seat of war, and plans of battles and engagements.--Once a Week. THE WEATHER IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE. —A letter from Cannes says :—"We have literally no winter here: Many trees and shrubs are covered with flowers, amongst them the orange, which furnish their blossoms just as in the month of May. Whole beds of rose-trees ; with buds innumerable, also present a charming spectacle." Fortunately the opening day of this meeting was favoured with fine weather as soon as the sport commenced, although the morning was anything but cheering ; in fact, rain fell heavily about noon. The course was precisely the same as heretofore. The trains from Euston-square station conveyed a multitude of visitors, amongst whom were many familiar faces, including some of the sporting members of the aris tocracy. The sport throughout was very interesting, but the results were decidedly in favour of the bookmakers. All the business arrangements of the meeting were excel lently carried out.

After three failures the lot got away, Queen Bee taking up the running immediately afterwards, followed by Hol kar, Benanoar, and British Tar, Peignoir and My Lady bringing up the rear. As they came through the gap, British Tar ran into second place, and closing on Queen Bee, he overhauled her opposite the stand, and won easily by two lengths ; the same distance separated the second and third ; Benanoar was a good fourth, Llangollen fifth, Chirp sixth; Peignoir and My Lady walked in last.

Pantaloon increased his lead as they passed the stand, the others following in the above order to the brook, where Princess Dagmar ran into se cond place, and shortly afterwards the Bolingbroke geld ing passed Arlescott. Three fences from home Pantaloon, who had a strong lead, came down, and the Bolingbroke gelding took up the running, and although challenged re solutely at the distance by Princess Dagmar, he cantered in an easy winner by four lengths. Arlescott walked in third, and Snaggs, who fell in the middle of the meadow, cantered in next a long way in the rear. Pantaloon was mounted after the first fall, but came down at the next fence.

Knighton Belle held the lead till reaching the third fence from home, on land ing over which he rolled over, and Threadbare, whose superior speed had begun to tell, cantered home an easy winner.

Some hundreds of persons assembled at Putney yesterday to witness the sculling race between Daniel Russell, of Rotherhithe, and Bartholomew Murphy, of Shadwell, who had engaged to rowfrom Putney to Mortlake for .£5O a side. The same two men closed the year with one of the finest races ever seen—Russell not passing his man until they got to Wilcox's, at Barnes, and Murphy's party not think ing their man had trained sufficiently, gave him another trial, and well were those rewarded who went to see it, for a more manly and plucky race was never seen. Murphy trained at Mr. Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes ; Russell at Harry Kelley's, the Bells, Putney—and both were very fit. The race was accompanied by two steamers full of pas sengers. Mr. Wilcox was umpire for Murphy, Mr. Evans for Russell, and Geo. Hammerton officiated as referee. Murphy won the toss, and chose the Middlesex side, a strong wind blowing, which added to the land water, and made the labour very severe. At the moment of starting Murphy obtained a slight lead, but Russell soon drew level, and a truly magnificent race followed to the Crabtree, in the course of which they had changed positions about half a dozen times. Here Murphy seemed to row stronger and with more judgment, and nearly drew clear; but at the soapworks another desperate Etmggle took place, Russell getting the best of it, and leading by nearly half a length under Hammersmith bridge. The water was now more rough than Wore, and Murphy, cqtchicfs two crabs, gays COURSING.

And further stating that Mr. Farnall had reported he had in November last pointed out to the guardians that the system pursued by them was extremely injudicious, and that, if continued, the wards provided for the vagrants were likely to prove insufficient, and sug gesting that, under these circumstances, the Poor law Board have great doubts whether they ought not to revoke the certificates they had issued under the provisions of the Houseless Poor Act,• and in viting the guardians to make any observations on the subject they law Board took that step. 'might think right before the Poor- (Signed) ENFIELD, Secretary. In answer to the above the board of guardians resolved to send the following : " The guardians are as fully unprepared as the Poor-law Board.with the fact that under existing circumstances the general treatment of the house/ess poor in the Holborn Union Workhouse is not in a satisfactory condition, but at same time the guardians have used every means in their power to meet the difficulties of the case ; they have had a per manent committee (appointed before Mr. Farnall's visit in November) to superintend the matter and to endeavour to obtain space for enlarged wards, and means for putting vagrants to work. The premises referred to by Mr. Farnall as those which the guardians had promised they would obtain (if possible) are the same which the guardians have now entered into an agreement to take a lease of, and the agreement for a lease has been forwarded to the Poor-law Board for approval. The first negotiation for these premises failed in consequence of the parties holding them having only a termlof about five years in them, and in their present condition they aro utterly unfit for the purpose for which they are wanted. With much trouble the guardians have at length secured a term which will justify them in incur ring the expense of erecting wards in then. The committee referred to visited every space in the union to endeavour to obtain the accom mo d a ti o n required, but unsuccessfully, except at a cost which they dare not incur. One small plot of vacant ground they negotiated for, 150 ft. by 50ft., the proprietor asked 8,000 guineas for, and this is a sample of the difficulties the guardians have met with. The guardians have now appointed a superintendbnt of labour, with the view of endeavouring to ap ply a labour test, but as they expected, from the distance of the labour yard from the workhouse (the only place they have the opportunity of using for the purpose), many of the vagrants abscond on going to it. With respect to sending the applicants to registered lodging-houses, the guardians have taken that course because the Poor-law Board have laid it down as the law that when the vagrant wards are full the guardians must not saya,Oourmlnvaciradtisonafrner them, full and they full, g a otot e h y e next wards, but must find cnrn cannot do so except by means of these lodging-houses. With regard to the vagrant wrds t i h n at th i e n Holborn Union Work house, the guardians believe they are not inferior to the majority of the wards in the London workliousce, and they can see no reason for th e threat of the Poor-law Board to revoke their certificate. The guardians have done, and are doing, the best in their power to meet an emergency which has come suddenly on them, and they intend to use their best exertions to get their ne w wards into operation at soon as possible, and they leave to the Poor-law Board to exercise their power in such way as they may deem right." State of Trade. _ - BRADFORD, Feb. 15.—There was considerable in quiry in the wool-market this morning, but when it was found, contrary to expectation, there was no reduction in the Bank rate of discount, there seemed little disposition to do more business. The demand, which was restricted, was still confined to deep grown wools, the finer qualities of Southdown, Shropshire, and colonial wools. Prices were more steady than they have been recently. In worsted yarns there was no appreciable change. v PA 1 1 : ri -A _ )Ab -Ft)! "kit i; A 4l ' _1"-sq Yesterday Mr. ii. B. •na IP; (1 th e Greenwich U n i on Workholi faitheurse of urging up on th e guardians of the union thc S ad po option of a mode of relief, as regards the regular casual poor, superior to that now carried on. Mr. Carter, the chairman, presided over a full meeting of guar dians who were present to meet the commissioner. Mr. FARNALL said he knew the guardians had a most onerous duty to discharge iu administering relief in that union, for in it there were 127,670 people, and the pauperism being much' above the average metropolitan pauperism, the rates were very high as compared with the average metropolitan rating. The rates in that union were equal to an annual rating, for poor relief alone, of 2s. ncl. in the pound, while the rating of the whole metropolis, if the rating were equal, would be less than Is. 3d. in the pound to cover All the charges of the poor, The 2s. 2d. with which this union was burdened did nothing more than pay for the poor rate of the union, and there were many other rates besides, as he was well aware. The average pauperism of the metropolis was a little over S per cent. on the whole population, while the pauperism of the Greenwich district was equal to about 5 per cent. Here were reasons enough, he said, for the guardians to consider whether they might not adopt some means to lessen the cost of the poor, and he had come there to give them his views. He could do no more than this ; for, though there was a central authority at Whitehall, that authority could do nothing to enforce upon the guardians a course of which they did not approve. Now, there were in the workhouse the previous night 938 per sons, 810 of whom were t emporar il y disabled, aged, or infirm. These were not the classes, he'ventured to remind them, for whom the workhouses were intended ; but they were intended as a test for the idle and dissolute, and a refuge for these, not as orphans, 'who had no place in which to lay their heads. Ile believed the agedinfirm,., apd sick 'ale, the majority at least, EijiTier in their own little homes, if relief sufficient to keep them there were given. Then there were 406 sick of these 810, and to attend on these there were 40 pauper nurses, and not one paid nurse. The " extras" given to these pauper nurses amounted to an annual cost of £315, and he asked the guardians if it was true economy to give this large sum for irresponsible nurses when they could get paid nurses for less. He also pointed out that the itch ward was placed in the receiving ward, and called upon the guar dians to remove it, as being altogether wrong. He then went on at some length into the vagrancy question, and he called the guardians' attention to the fact that they had not yet adopted any measure of labour test for the recipients of relief under the Houseless Poor Act, so that they were really en couraging. vagrancy, and he warned the relieving officers that they were not to give tickets for the casual wards to their regular poor, the poor charge able upon their own rates ; but that all such relief should be charged to the union. Much conversation followed Mr. Farnall's ad dress, and some of the guardians acknowledged that facts had been brought to their notice respect ing the workhouse of which they were unaware. One of the guardians expressed dislike of the Houseless Poor Act altogether. The CHXIIIIAIi said he had no faith in paid nurses. They agreed generally that a task of work should be given to the vagrants, and they told Mr. Farnall that the subjects he had brought before them should receive full consideration. They also acknowledged the value of the information he had laid before them, and the proceedings, so far as Mr. Farnall, was concerned, then terminal ed.
