Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught .ill they are 11 years o' 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 fully investigated by the Committee, anti 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, 1864. It was designed to take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify then , for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are these who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome 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 from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearl 10 - , and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled y 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—is it right to make a widow and her family paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) 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-lp 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 "rue 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 thcm ? 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, 79 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 self-reli ance and selt-hel be permanent burdens to the State. I he Home ;or Little' Boys has, therefore, been established to rescec 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, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to sehot2l work—reading. and writing, and cipherinz, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oljects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in lite, 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 l aper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c other, Atc. 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 sweeping, while the elder ones (lean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working llfe. Id. 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 ss the increase in the annual subscriptions will . adm y , it, till the Home is full; they w i ll then be h eld period call Forms of application for the admission of children may be had at the Some, and of the Honorary Secretary, TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.

LONDON AND LIVERPOOL HOTEL. The ordinary general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, King-street, Cheap side ; Col. Brownlow Knox, M.P., in the chair. Mr. Page, the Secretary, read the report, which stated that the business of the hotel was steadily in creasing, the gross receipts for the past six months being nearly 30 per cent. in excess of those of the corresponding period in 1864. Since the last meet ing the directors had effected the purchase of the Royal and Victoria Hotels, at Waterloo, near Liverpool, upon very advantageous terms, and con siderable improvements had been effected in all the hotels, rendering them much more valuable as busi ness properties. The total available balance was £4,774 ; of this sum, after providing interest on mortgage, and placing £l,OOO to a depreciation fund, the directors recommended that a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, be declared. The CHAIMAN moved the adoption of the report, congratulating the shareholders upon the success of the undertaking. Mr. HENEAGE seconded the motion, which was agreed to.

The City Remembraucer has drawn up a bil which will be introduced by the corporation into Parliament, empowering them to supply the City with brilliant, cheap, and pure gas. The preamble recites the expediency of a good supply oLgas to the City, the defectiveness of the present arrange ments, the inexpediency of extending gasworks in populous districts, the frequency with which muni cipal and other bodies are empowered to supply gas, and the existence of a suitable site for gas works at West Ham, in Essex. The act then empowers the corporation to take the lands in the schedule under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, and also em powers them to purchase any other lands by agree ment. The limit of compulsory purchase is fixed at five years. Powers are then given to erect gasworks, carry mains through streets, and supply gas-fittings for consumers of the gas ; and the Gas works Clauses Act, 1847, is incorporated. The cor poration are also to provide a testing-place in the City, where proper apparatus will be kept for test ing the quality of the gas supplied; and a chemical examiner shall be appointed, who, for a fee of ls., shall at any time when called upon by a consumes examine and report to him on the quality of the gas. The following provisions are made as to the bril liancy and purity of the gas to be supplied : " All gas shall be at the testing-place of such il luminating power as to produce from an argand burner of the description and measurements de scribed, consuming not more than 5 feet of gas per hour, a light equal to that produced by not lessthan 18 sperm candles of six to the pound, each burning at the rate of 120 grains per hour. " The argand burner shall be of the description now known as Sugg's steatite burner with 15 hole; and the measurements of the several parts of the burner shall be as follows, namely, the external dia meter of the burner shall be one inch and one-tenth of an inch, the internal diameter thereof shall be half an inch, each of the 15 holes shall be 1-20th part of an inch in diameter, the chimney shall be 7 inches high, and the rest of the gallery which holds the chimney shall be one inch below the top of the burner. _ _ _ 4 4 A specimen of the burner shall be deposited with the Town Clerk of the City, and shall be open to examination by all persons interested at all reason able times on payment of a fee of one shilling. " All gas supplied by the corporation shall be at the testing-place, provided under this act, of such purity that the gas will not discolour turmeric paper or paper imbued with acetate of lead, when such paper is exposed to a current of gas issuing for one minute from an orifice one-fourth of an inch in dia meter, at a pressure of not less than half an inch in water. " Gas supplied by the corporation shall not at the testing place provided ander this act contain more than 16 grains of sulphur in any form in 100 cubic feet of gas ; the amount of sulphur therein contained to be estimated by the process known as Dr. Letheby's sulphur test." It is then provided that any consumer may com plain to two justices of the illuminating power or' purity of the gas, and the justices may order the removal of the cause of complaint within a reasonable time specified; a fine, not exceeding £5 per day, to be inflicted so long as the order is not complied with.

LADVERTISEMENT.]-1101101VIty'S Pills.—Grateful Car minative.—When bowel complaint rages and cholera threatens it is little short of madness to disregard the warnings to ward off portending mischief which flatulency and alvine pains providentially convey to us. The above named pills are designed for this very purpose, and admi rably hitherto have they fulfilled their office. Their puri fying virtues being combined with the surest aperient qualities not only free the circulation fiom every taint, but release the bowels from all unassimilated matters, and re lease every organ, and the system generally, from de ranging causes. In childhood, and for all whose health from birth has been delicate, Holloway's Pills are peculiarly appropriate, because they act mildly, are gently laxative, and highly salutary to the bowels. A PNEUMATIC RAILWAY UNDER THE THAMES. att T en h t e io C n ll t a o in a M s A er N ie o s pe o n f ed pl t a h n e s p l‘ r h oc ic e h ed i i l u ad gs b b e y en cal s h u . n b g_ mitted to the board for the construction of a pneu matic railway under the Thames and through the embankment. The sanction of the board had been asked to proceed with the scheme. lie thought, however, that the time had arrived when the com pany should put their officers into communication with an officer of the board to assess the value of the land, or to decide whether that matter should be referred to consideration as to the course to be adopted. A resolution was then passed to the effect that a communication should be made to the railway com pany for the purpose of effecting that object. ISLE OF DOGS SEWERS. The CHAIRMAN then read the following tenders for the construction of the Isle of Dogs branch of the northern low level sewer : William 11. Rowe, £53,884105. ; William Webster, £79,700 ; William Dethick, £82,000; Mason, Hill, and Ke. ile, £813,0003 Thomas Pearson, £87,000. The board then resolved itself into a committee to consider these tenders. Upon the readmission of the reporters, the clerk (Mr. Pollard) announced that the tender of William Webster was accepted, subject to the usual inquiries. The report was ap proved, and Mr. Webster called in and told the re solution of the board. Mr. Webster bowed and thanked the board for the trust reposed in him. THE DEPTFORD PUMPING STATION. The board again resolved itself into a committee, to consider several tenders for the supply of oil, tallow, &c., required for the Deptford and Cross ness Pumping Stations. Upon the readmission of the public, it was an nounced that the tender of Messrs. Pinchin and Johnson had been accepted, subject to the usual inquiries. THE NEW FIRE BRIGADE. A voluminous report was presented from the Main Drainage Committee as to the constitution of the new fire brigade. There were several recom mendations. They referred to the use of fire land steam-engines, and the floating steam-engine at Rotherhithe, to a line of telegraph between the offices of the board and the station in Watling street, to repairs and other matters of urgency, to the conditions upon which men were to serve the board, to the required security for the due perform ance of their duties, and to the medical officers. The recommendations were agreed to. THE WATERLOO AND WHITEHALL RAILWAY. It was decided that the board decline to approve of the plan of this railway company, which proposed to make a railway under the Thames embankment, and that the railway company be so informed. The other business having been disposed of the board-adjourned. Brigandage in Italy. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) The withdrawal of a portion of the French troops from the Roman States, and the necessary concen tration of the remainder within narrower limits, will testify the ability of the Papal Government to maintain order in the rural districts, and to prevent any increase of brigandage. _ _ There is great reason to apprehend, however, that in the first instance the means of the Papal Government will be inadequate to meet the neces sities of the case, and that brigandage will greatly increase in the Roman States, and it may he feared also in other parts of Italy, from the facilities which the brigands will have of transferring their operations from one part of the country to another. British travellers in Italy will do well to bear this in mind, and avoid, aS far as possible, visiting dis tricts where brigandage is known to prevail. They should remember that, however anxious the Italian and Papal Governments may be, for their own sakes, to put down the outrages of which many dis tricts are the scene, the difficulties which those Go vernments have to contend with in doing so are very great. The lawless character of the inhabitants in secluded parts of Italy, the sympathy or apprehen sions of the peasantry, and the difficulty in pur suing malefactors through the mountain fastnesses, all combine to render the suppression of brigandage a work of great difficulty ; and that difficulty is not a little enhanced by the natural anxiety of the relatives and friends of persons captured by brigands to redeem them from captivity by paying whatever ransom may be demanded. There can be no question, however, that the system of ransom operates as a premium to brigandage; and it can scarcely be a matter of surprise that theltalian Government, seeking, as a matter of State policy, to eradicate the evil, discountenances and even prohi bits by law any payments on that account. It is difficult for foreign Governments to interfere with the discretion of the Italian Government in this respect, nor can the latter be held responsible for mischances that may happen to the Subjects of fo reign powers voluntarily resorting to its dominions for any purposes whatever. Such foreigners must take their chance with the natives of the country, and cannot claim the inter ference of their Governments to place them in a better position than native subjects. The British Parliament would not listen to a claim for compensation made by a foreign Govern ment in behalf of one of its subjects who might have been robbed on the highway, or whose house might have been broken into and plundered by burglars, and England cannot claim for British subjects in a foreign country what the British Parliament would deny to the subjects of a foreign country in Eng land. Bearing these considerations in mind, therefore, it is to be hoped that Englishmen visiting Italy will, for the present at least, be very careful not to ex: pose themselves heedlessly to capture by brigands. The Italian Government in particular are known to be making the greatest efforts to suppress brigand age, and it cannot be doubted that the Papal Go vernment will do the same ; but in the meanwhile and until these efforts have led to a better state of things than now exist in parts of Italy, it is impossi ble for travellers in that country to be too cautious.

DUBLIN, . KT You have already received by telegraph the nth suit of the trial of Underwood O'Connell yesterday at Cork. The witnesses examined were Sub-in spector Graves, Constable Mahony, and Sub-con stable Hawkins. Mr. Butt, Q.C., addressed the jury for the defence. Mr. Barry then reviewed the evidence at length, after which Mr. Justice Keogh proceeded to charge the jury. They brought in a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was immediately sentenced to penal servitude for 10 years. O'Callaghan Holmes O'Reardon was then put for ward for trial. The Attorney-General stated the case against him, some evidence was given, and the Court adjourned at half-past 6 o'clock. The four prisoners who had been convicted in Cork arrived in Dublin by train about 10 o'clock last night, and were quietly escorted by a troop of cavalry and a body of metropolitan police to the Mountjoy convict prison. The - annual distribution of Crimean Banquet Fund prizes to the successful competitors among the pupils of the Royal Hibernian Military School took place yesterday in the dining room of that valuable institution, in the presence of a large and highly respectable assembly. At half-past 2 o'clock the Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by Lady Wode house, and attended by Mr. Edward Wodehouse, Private Secretary, and Major Wood, A.D.C., arrived, and was received by the principal officers of the institution and a guard of honour of soldiers of almost every description of corps, who had been educated in this institution. Among those present were Mr. Chichester Fortescue, M.P., Chief Secre tary for Ireland, and the Countess IValdegrave ; the Lord Mayor; the Lord Mayor-Elect ; Major- General Conynghame, oammanding the Dub- , - lin Division ; Major Ellis . , A.D.C. ; M - Sjor-Grireral Napier ; Major Wood, V.C.,A.D.C. ; Col. Durn ford, commanding Royal Engineers in Ireland; Major-General Symmons, and Capt. Lindsay, D.L. Lieut.-Colonel Wynyard, Commandant, having read the report, the Lord-Lieutenant then addressed the pupils, and gave them some suitable advice, concluding with the following remarks : " And allow me to say that you have here the advantage, being, as you are, of different religious persuasions, of learning a lesson which is most valuable, and which cannot be too much taken to heart—namely, that you cad live in perfect har mony with each other, although it may happen to you, as it happens to all of us, that you may not have the same religious opinions as all those with whom you may have to mix. That is a valuable lesson. lam glad to know that such perfect har mony does exist in this institution among you upon that point ; and I am confident that, although at this time of your lives I should trust that such a consideration as the possibility of discord upon those points has not entered into your minds, yet the lessons which you here learn will in after-life be valuable to you and will not be forgotten. What ever religious persuasion you may belong to, I trust and I believe that you will learn here that highest of all lessons of religion—namely, the exercise of Christian charity and true love for your neigh bours. I know that I need add nothing further. I know this, that this wa§ one of the first institutions which it was my lot to attend when I came over last year to occupy the position which I have - the honour to hold ; and I know of no institution which I have seen since I came to Ireland which it gives me greater pleasure to visit and to hear the re port of." Major-General Conynghame, C. 8., and Mr. Chi chester Fortescue, M.P., also said a few words. " Rule Britannia " and " God Save the Queen " having been sung, hearty cheers were given Tor the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Lord- Lieutenant, &c., after which the proceedings ter , urinated. _ Dr. R. S. Ireland has retired on full pay from his office as medical attendant of the metropolitan police after 36 years' service. lie is to be succeeded by Dr. Nedley. A special meeting of the Committee of the Na tional Association of Ireland was held at 7, Lower Ormond Quay, yesterday. There were five bishops present. There was a lengthened discussion on the past and future policy of the association, which ter minated in the unaniindas .2.option of the following resolution :—" That (confiding that the conduct and management of the National Association will be in strict accordance with the fundamental prin ciple on which it was originally established—viz., independence of all political parties) we declare that the political interests of Ireland require that the association should be sustained and strengthened, and we earnestly urge immediate and energetic action for that purpose." FRIDAY NIGHT. The trial of O'Callaghan Holmes O'Reardon, late captain in the Federal army, and formerly sergeant major in the 10th Hussars, with which corps he served in the Crimea, was resumed to-day. The approver, Warner, deposed that he saw the prisoner give instructions in the use of the rifle ; and a new informer, named Connell, that he heard him say he would return from America with 100,000 Fenians. Mr. M. J. Barry, who alone defended the pri soner, addressed the jury on his behalf. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, re turned a verdict of acquittal. Alexander Nicholls was put forward ; he pleaded guilty, and was let out on giving heavy bail to come up when called on. The Government has refused to comply with the request of the corporation to furnish a copy of the report of the Inspector-General of Prisons on which they acted in dismissing Mr. Marquis. The Board of Superintendence will itself hold an inquiry on oath. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Dec. 22.—We have again had a very large business doing in shipping yarns, and the market is stronger to-day than it has been for weeks past. The amount of business done has been very considerable, and embraces operations for every foreign market, with the exception of Cal cutta. The prices paid have been very extreme. Many spinners are under contracts which will see th em through January, February, and part of March. t ß h u e y l e e r a s d i ex n g p e y r i a e r n n c s e a g s re s a o t m diffi an e y ul s t p y in in ne e r o s nt a r r a e c p ti r n e g -e f n o - r gaged. In home trade yarns we have had a strong market, with rather more business than in the early part of the week. Prices are slightly harder than on Tuesday. In cloth we have had a firm market, and some business has been done in the better classes of printing cloth, but staple cloths have not as a rule been much operated in. In addition to tho very general firmness of the market there is a dis position on the part of many manufacturers to ad vance their prices, butbuyers do not respond to that feeling, the advanced quotations no doubt being necessitated by the high and advancing price of yarns. The finer counts of yarn especially are dearer, and all cloths for which they are used are held for higher rates. The advices expected by the American mail are waited for with interest, and some buyers are disposed to wait for them before they enter into further engagements. CARDIFF, 21st.—The steam coal trade is mode rately active, and the works continue to be fully employed. The house coal trade is improving. The iron trade, taking into consideration that the en pffe , ecr i i n efin a c y caet be ioof nosspa opinion to be ov n a e degnooeofndtt,he entered, and u , i a na r le t t e oh r nough close at of ef ava difference be between sellers and buyers as to the turn prices will take at the commencement of the new quarter, the works are kept actively employed in completing old specifications. Late advices from the States show that the stocks of British iron have been reduced to the lowest point. There is an increased inquiry from the Indian markets for railway iron, and the continental demand is about the same as last week. NOTTINGHAM, 22d.—We bad a fair attendance at our Exchange-hall to-day. There was a steady de mand for lace yarns, and prices had a stiffening tendency. The inquiry for hosiery yarns was firm, and extreme rates were sustained. Silks tended up. wards; spun silks are very dear. The demand for brown nets was moderate, and prices were slightly in the sellers' favour. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " GRANDMOTHER'S MONEY."
