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, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will lie required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur poso 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 boon begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving?

TIMES.—We hardly fear to be accused of selfish ness if we express our satisfaction at the happy course of events which has to so great an extent estranged us from Continental politics. Fifty years ago th kingdom of Hanover could hardly have been blotted out of the list of European States without England having a word to say on the subject. In deed, so strong, up to very recent times, were the mere ties of personal union, so paramount were dynastic claims over all other considerations, that Hanover had become a much more integral part of England than it was of Germany. So anomalous throughout the last century was the condition of that Electorate that any interference with it, even by its liege lord, the German Emperor, would have produced an immediate quarrel with England. Now the utmost we may be called on to do in behalf of a kingdom which was once almost as much a part of us as Scotland or Ireland, is simply to express an opinion as to the catastrophe which puts an end to its independent existence, and once more intimately associates its destinies with those of the great nation of which it is, both by nature and by ancient tra ditions, an inseparable member. We should con tradict all we have said from the very outbreak of the Austro-Prussian war, as to its probable results on the rise and development of German nationality, if we now denied or qualified our strong conviction that it was for the general advantage that Hanover and all the minor States of Germany should be merged in their great Fatherland. The strength of those members of the old empire was gained by the general weakening of the body. The crowns rest ing on most of those Royal heads were won by base treachery to the common cause of their country, and although it would be difficult to prove the title of Prussia to the inheritance of the empire, still it can not be denied that the work she has now in hand is a work of reconstruction, and that Germany wins back through her only what Hanover and Hesse Ba varia, Wurternber,ff and Prussia herself, the Oldest and most daring offender on that score, had long since taken from her. It does not follow, however, because we think it our duty to recognise what seems to us the truth of the matter, that we must harden our hearts against those upon whom the remote consequences of the errors or crimes of past generations are visited. The maxim "La politique n'a point d'entraillcs" is not binding on mere lookers on, and we may he compelled to acquiesce in the extinction of Hanover without denying the tribute of our sympathy to the Hanoverian dynasty. When the " unification " of Italy was effected at the ex pense of the Reigning Houses of Bourbon, Este, and Lorraine, although we have no great reason to bewail the downfall of Princes who had only too long disgraced the throne and had not even the spirit to strike a blow in its defence, we did full justice to two royal ladies, one of whom by her wisdom and firmness, the other by her more than feminine courage, showed themselves worthy of a better fate. The exceptions we then made in behalf of the Duchess of Parma and the Queen of Naples apply now in favour of King George of Hanover and his Royal family, not only because the King, unlike him of Saxony, Bavaria, or Wurtemberg, made a brave though unavailing resistance, but because both himself and his predecessor had based their power on a policy which set them apart from the common herd of German Princes. The Crown of Hanover was not like that of Bavaria or Saxony, or of Wurtemberg or Baden, the gift of a foreign in vader ; nor did the Prince who first wore that Crown apart from the Imperial Diadem of Great Britain so far give in to the reactionary spirit that carried everything around him as to break faith with his subjects, in spite of the animosity to which his policy exposed him on the part of his over bearing neighbours, and in spite of the controver sies into which his views of the exigencies of his position led him with his too exacting Parliament. The fidelity to his engagements of which King Ernest gave so signal an example in 1848 was followed with the strictest honour by his son and successor, King George, from his accession in 1851 to the day of his departure from his capital in June last. Ile completely identified himself with his adopted country •, and, notwithstanding the gloomy infirmity with which he was afflicted, so great was the earnestness of the young King for the welfare of his subjects, so active and minute and unwearied his interference in affairs of State, as to give his Government much more of a personal character than is found to be compatible with true represen tative institutions. It will be easy, of course, to say that the blow which brought to so abrupt a close both his reign and the prospects of his dynasty was not either altogether unexpected or undeserved ; that the King hastened and aggravated his down fall by the too rash and decisive course which placed him without sufficient reason on the losing side.. The real fact, however, is that the tendency o: every war or revolution in Germany was necessa• rily towards unity ; the independence of the minor States, such as it was, was inexorably doomed ; Kings and Grand Dukes could only fall back to their original condition of mere vassals. The King of Hanover and all his Royal brethren saw the fate which was in store for them, and in the alternative between submission to Prussia or Austria they chose the latter, simply because they thought the compli cation of her non-German interests would at all times weaken such ascendancy as she might aspire to assert over Germany. Unfortunately for the Sovereigns—most happily, as we believe, for the people of Germany—Austria fell, and the Minor States with her. King George, however, and his descendants may find a consolation which is denied to many of their Royal fellow-sufferers in other German States, for their rights as Princes of the Blood and members of the English Peerage secure for them a station in this country which has little cause to envy the lustre of Continental Royalty. With these high hereditary privileges, and the wealth which, it is to be hoped, they will save out of the wreck of their private fortune, the Guelphs of Hanover will have in these islands a far different lot from that of many other "Monarchs retired from business"—a lot which even these, however, do not find altogether unendurable. HERALD.-It would be difficult to exaggerate the part of the Emperor of the French in the great revolutions which, in the short space of seven years, have changed the face of Europe. To him the au thorship of the unity of Germany, as well as that of Italy, must be ascribed. It may be true that he did not desire to see either of these results, but they are not the less his work, because both proceed directly from his policy. Italy could never have taken one step towards unification, if the Emperor Napoleon had not given her Lombardy, andforbidden Austria to make any effort to restore the dispossessed princes, or re-establish the authority of the Pope in the Le gations. And it was the strength acquired by these annexations which enabled King Victor Emmanuel to obtain possession of the Two Sicilies. Had Austria been left to settle accounts with Piedmont in 1859, she would have completely crushed that ambitious little state. The Emperor of the French, for reasons of one kind or other, joined his armies to those of Piedmont, and inflicted upon Austria a loss and a humiliation of which the great disasters of the last month are the fatal offspring. Nor is his hand less apparent in that far more important revolution which has just taken place in Germany. We will not dwell upon the fact, that if he had re sponded to the overtures of the English Cabinet for an alliance on behalf of Denmark, the Schleswig- Holstein war would not have broken out ; Count Von Bismarck would not have established his po sition ; Austria and the smaller states would not have been humiliated. But at any time up to the middle of June it was in the power of the Emperor to have prevented the war. He might have re strained Italy from embarking in the contest, he might have compelled Prussia to give up her am bitious plans. Instead of that, he did his best to en courage both Prussia and Italy. He ostentatiously declared their demands to be just, and whilst he talked, indeed, about . tearing up of the Treaties of 1815 in a strain which made it appear probable that France would want some tear ing up which should be to her advantage, he seemed disposed to await it from the gratitude of Prussia and Austria. He facilitated the operations of the Prussian army by a " friendly" neutrality which relieved it from the necessity of guarding tilt Rhine, and by reductions of armament, which pro mised that France, whichever way the struggle might go, would not interfere. And now, at last, by raising a demand for frontier rectifications, which he did not intend to press, he has united the national sentiment of Germany in favour of Prussia, and im mensely increased the pride and confidence of the Prussian army and the Prussian people. That the Emperor, fond as he is of talking about nationalitiies, really proposed to himself as the end of his pp o ic s y e the constitution of the Italians and Germanse, weaknesses and divisions gave France o a tw p o r Nvonde rating influence on the Coutinent,.m _ an P P Q\s c r e ta r : ful and united nations, very susceptible of y fion, and but too anxious to display to the world their own strength and independence, may reason ably be doubted. lie certainly looked in the first instance only to the expulsion:of the Au . sirians from Italy, and the ostablishment of an Italian Confede- / -)/, , , ''',/, 4/, , . ~_,__ , . , . ,l~z,-c~r~- PRICF 4d. STAMPED sd. ration, which might, indeed, have bestowed upon Italy more liberty and more happiness, but could not have given her the great military strength which, united under one Sovereign, she must possess. And with regard to Germany it is very difficult to believe that the concentration of the whole strength of Germany in Prussian hands, and the annihilation of Austria as a great Power, formed any part of his wishes. He probably looked for ward to a war in which neither side would come off decisive victors, and a period of general depression ancl,weariness of war, in which his mediation might be welcomed, and repaid, if not by any cession of territory, by an immense increase of influence. It matters not, however, now, how far the desire to promote th e h app i ness an d t h e g l ory o f I ta l y an d Germany guided the Emperor Napoleon's policy. The fact remains that to him Italy and Germany owe their unity, and the only question is whether he will finally accept the position made for him by events, and bow to the fate in which he believes. For although both Italy and Germany may now be called united, the unity is not complete or well es tablished, and it is in the power of the Emperor of the French to expose it to a very dangerous test. And, unfortunately, he has a very great temptation to use his power. The views of the French nation with regard to Italy are divided. Many look upon the independence of Italy as a great achievement of France, and sympathise very warmly with the Italian aspirations for its completion. On the other hand, a large party, looking only to the maintenance of the Papal power, would move Heaven and earth to pre vent the entire withdrawal of French troops from Rome, for which the Italians have always been even more anxious than for the acquisition of Venice. The feeling with regard to Prussia is unanimous, with the exception, of course, of manufacturers and money-dealers. All classes would delight in a war having for its object the acquisition of the Rhine, or even the mere chastisement of Prussian vain-glory. The Emperor has shown himself superior to this temptation. Tie has braved the unpopularity which tame submission to the Prussian refusal of the com paratively moderate demand for Saarlouis and Lan dau was sure to provoke ; and he has preferred the permanent interests of France to a breadth of na tional enthusiasm. People talk about his ulterior designs, and say that he will renew his claims for compensation by and bye. Of course he may, but it is difficult to believe it. And we are justified in assuming that, so far as Germany is concerned, the Emperor will not endeavour to undo the work of his hands ; but, making a virtue of a necessity, con tinue to preserve the most cordial relations with Prussia, and rather aid her than attempt to embar rass ler in the difficult task of reorganising Northern Germany. But with regard to Italy we have no such satisfactory assurances. It is true the time approaches for the evacuation of Rome ; and one of the great excuses for the occupation has disappeared with the expulsion of the Austrians from Italy. But then the execution of the September conven tion—the complete abandonment of the Pope to his own resources or the tender mercies of the Italian Government—would be extremely unpopular with a large party in France, and it would, more over, be the abandonment of a position which, in the present state of Italy, French politicians think it most important for France to retain. So long as the French occupy Rome they are masters of Itay, and the policy of the Court of Florence can be shaped by France whenever it is worth the while of France to make the effort. Whenever the French withdraw from Rome their influence will be far less directly felt ; and although it is nonsense to talk, as our Liberals do, of Italy as a really independent Power, which can keep France in check in the Mediterranean, Italy will cease to be so reliable an instrument in the hands of France. But these considerations do not, of course, justify a breach of the convention. The French troops have no right to stay at Rome in order to keep Italy a French dependence. Their only right there, limited now by the convention voluntarily entered into by France, is the necessity of their presence to preserve the Pope in the enjoy ment of the temporalities left him. The Italian Go vernment has engaged not to attempt to disturb his temporal power, and to take care that no such at tempts are made from its territory. With that en gagement the French Government was satisfied two years ago, and the events of the last two months, in stead of weakening, have added to the value of it. The evacuation of Rome may, of course, be followed by events which would justify France in reoccupy ing the Holy City, but the bare apprehension of such consequences would not justify the non-fulfil ment of the convention. There can be no difficulty in making, in concert with the other Catholic Powers and with Italy, such arrangements as will secure the Pope the protection he requires. It is not so much now the desire of acquiring Rome for a capital as the craving to get altogether rid of the foreigner which inspires the Italians in asking the evacuation of Rome. The Pope will be safe enough ; the Italian Government will be but too glad to come to an ar rangement with him ; and it is earnestly to be hoped that the Emperor will not hesitate to complete his work, and by recalling his troops from Rome, let Italy be at last really free from foreign domination. THE BRAZILS. RIO DE JANEIRO, July 24. Advices from the seat of war are to the 9th. No important operation had been undertaken for lack of horses for the cavalry and artillery, and it now turns out that Baron Porto Alegre, who commands the 2d corps of the Brazilian army, is nearly as bad off for horses as the army at the Passo de la Patria. To obtain means of mounting the cavalry the Ar gentine Republic passed a decree on the 7th instant, appropriating 5,000 horses and 1,500 mules. The South American cavalry has always been mounted on bores unaccustomed to the stable or corn, and consequently depending entirely upon pastures for their feed ; where they are bad the ani mals suffer in proportion to its quality and quan tity. Where the allies are at present encamped there are no pastures, good, bad, or indifferent, and the animals have all died. The absurdity of the system hitherto pursued has now become apparent, but as the animals to be appropriated are stabled and fed on hay and corn, they must be kept in the same manner. Sixteen large steam transports are to be despatched by the Brazilian fleet from Corrientes to take these animals on board, and to tow up other vessels also laden with horses. _ The Paraguayans send a few shells daily into the allied camp, but with little damage to the allies, who reply with rifled cannon, La Hitte 12 pounders. The squadron sent to aid the second corps of the Brazilian army has arrived at its destination, and was in communication with Gen. Porto Alegre, who, instead of invading Paraguay at Itapua, will march along the left bank of the Parana and cross at the Passo de la Patria. He was expected very shortly at that place ; but till he arrives and the cavalry are mounted nothing can be done by the allies. The mail, however, brought one satisfactory item of news. The hospitals at Corrientes are now in a much better state, the commissariat department is more efficient, and the peculations lately going on at that place have received a severe blow by the pre sence of Marshal Polydoro du Fonseca Q. Jordao. This general was Minister of War at the time of the Christie affair ; his talents as au administrator and organiser are recognised by every one, and it is_ , e .l. great pity that he was not sent down sooner, h has been shaking about those fellows at Como . bability his in splendid style.

EUGENE TILLOT, General Merchant, Guernsey. EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, London, REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the year ending 30th June, 1866,read at the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, 10th August, 1866. CHARLES CHATFIELD, Esq., in the chair. The Directors have the satisfaction of reporting to the proprietors that, in pursuance of-''the resolutions unani mously passed at the Special General Meeting held in April last, the amalgamation of the National Mercantile Assurance Society with the Eagle has been carried into effect, and two of the directors of that society—Mr. Wil coxon (heretofore the chairman), and Mr. William Fre derick De la Rue—now occupy seats at the Eagle Board. The following account exhibits the increased income and outgoing of the year arising fihdlia the junction, which it may be remembered takes effect retrospectively, and the balance-sheet shows the assets as they existed on the 30th June last, augmented by those just transferred. By the Surplus Fund account it will be seen that the total income from premiums and interest is £483,376 Os. 11d., and the total outgoing £414,790 13s. 6d. The dif ference, £68,585 7s. 5d., and the surplus fund contributed by the amalgamated society, viz., £151,545 Bs. 6d., increase the surplus fund of the company to £899,095 Bs. The premiums on new assurances are considerably less than those of the foregoing year; but at the same time a much smaller portion of them has been devoted to re-assurance. The change in the financial position of the Company precludes an exact comparison with former years. The expenses of management of the Eagle for the year are al most identical in amount with those of the last. The Ex penses of the National Mercantile Society will, of course, henceforth cease.

VALETTA, Aug. IG.—The only movement among, the ships of war here is the departure of the gun boat Wizard on the 14th inst., with a mail from Patras, which is still the head-quarters of the Medi- terranean squadron. Commander Bosanquet, to command the Enterprise, arrived here by the South- ampton steamer; and Lieut. Sir F. Blackwood, to command the Psyche, arrived by the steamer from Marseilles yesterday. The Enterprise has l e ft Ancona for Corfu and Malta. • Cholera has broken out at Constantinople, and a few cases have occurred in Genoa. A serious outbreak is reported fiom Kherson, in the Black Sea. The mortality is prin cipally among children. Official information has been received here of various quarantine measures lately adopted by the sanitary authorities in Italy. Vessels from the ports of France, as well as from the port of Cronstadt, in Russia, are subjected to a quarantine of 15 days, and a similar term has been established on arrivals from Algeria. Vessels from Constantinople having arrived from ports in the Black Sea where cholera exists will be subject to five days' quarantine over and above the term of 10 days imposed at Constantinople. It is expected that Italy will place Constantinople itself in qua- rantine. At Malta the weather continues mild and healthy, and it seems likely we shall be blessed with early rains, the want of which last year was severely felt by the population. Already there have been some slight showers. The fresh westerly winds have filled our port with numerous sailing vessels, chiefly from Welsh ports and the Tyne, laden with coal, which has become almost a drug in the market, and has been selling at very low prices. Many thousand tons remain yet on handon account of the difficulty of finding store accommodation. The following no- tice has been issued by the Malta Government : " The officer administering the Government having heard the opinion of the Board of Health has been pleased to direct that all vessels sailing on and after the Ist inst. from the ports of Cronstadt, Antwerp, the Netherlands, Stockholm, and Stettin, and from any port in France between Nantes and Dunkirk inclusive, and that all vessels sailing on and after the Bth inst., from Algiers, Tarar to, Brindisi, ports in the Black Sea, and Constantinople, be subjected to a quarantine of 15 full days from the day of arrival in this port. By command, R. C. LEGIT, Acting Chief Secretary to Government. Palace, Valetta, Aug. 14." The Enchantress, Admiralty yacht, Staff Com mander Petley, returned to Portsmouth on Sunday evening with Rear-Admiral G. 11. Seymour, C. 8., and Mr. Du Cane, M.P., two of the Lords of the Admiralty, accompanied by Lord H. G. Lennox, First Secretary to the Admiralty, from Portland, on their return to London. The Gladiator, paddle, Capt. D'O. D'A. Aplin, went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to coal and receive provisions and stores. The Hector, ironclad ship, Capt. W. G. Luard, arrived at Spithead on Sunday evening from Port land. The Pallas, armour-plated screw corvette, Capt. M. Connolly, arrived at Spithead on Sunday even ing from Portland. Her Majesty's surveying vessel Nassau commis sioned for her first voyage to the Pacific by Captain Richard C. Mayne, having shipped the whole of her sea stores, yesterday went down from the dockyard to the red buoy off Woolwich Arsenal, and received her ammunition, shot, shell, &c. She is under orders to perform her official trip to-day at the mea sured mile, and will return to Greenhithe to adjust compasses for sea. The War Department steam store ship Lord Pan inure, Mr. Spriddle, master, arrived at Woolwich yesterday with a cargo of returned stores from Portsmouth, after unshipping a number of powder barrels at Purfleet ; and the Thames, Mr. E. Hornsey, master, belonging to the same service, sailed from Woolwich Arsenal with Tower stores for Chatham, calling at Purfleet to fill in her magazine. Intelligence has been received at Chatham of the great success which has attended the ocean trial of the two French screw steamers Ville de Paris and the Pereire, both of which were constructed at the Govan Works, Glasgow, by Messrs. Napier, the same firm which is now building the iron screw troopship Malabar, 4,173 tons, 700-horse power, one of the large transports designed by Mr. Reed, for the conveyance of troops to India. During the run from Brest to New York the average speed realized by the Ville de Paris was 13.77 knots, while the Pereire made a run of even more extra ordinary quickness, the voyage from New York to Brest, which is 26 miles further from New York than Liverpool, and 225 miles farther than Queens town, being accomplished in eight days 22 hours, giving an average speed of exactly 14 knots per hour—a rate of ocean steaming which is believed to be without a parallel.

Macnaghten, will leave Aldershott Camp to morrow, and proceed as follows :—Head-quarters and one squadron to Birmingham, and one squad ron to Coventry, Northampton, and Weedon re spectively.
