PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Slippers 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 Breakfast; 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. America and the Commercial Crisis. It has been suggested that among the results of she ,commercial crisis in this country will be a simi- lar crisis in America. Such an idea, however, is based on the erroneous assumption, that the course of our trade in America is the same as in former periods when the commercial interests of the two countries were so intertwined that the least shock to one was felt with extreme sensitiveness in the other. The experience acquired in the years 1825, 1837, 1847, and 1857, fails, therefore, to indicate the commercial future of 1866. A small amount of consideration will suffice to show bow complete is the contrast between the problem now presented and that which was solved in former years. Prior to the civil war, the chief basis of the com merce between the Northern and the Southern States, as well as between America and England, was the cotton crop, of which the great central mart was New Orleans. In 1860 the exports of that city, being about two ralllious of bales, were equivalent to those of all the other Southern cities put toge ther. From that centre were distributed through out the South-Western States all the goods which a prosperous and rapidly-augmenting population required from English and Northern manufacturers ; and those goods were paid for in cotton. The com merce was, however, by no means simple and direct. It passed through many hands, and was compli cated by intermediate operations before reaching the last stage, at which Mississippi or Arkansas cot ton was exchanged for the products of Manchester or Sheffield, of Boston or Lowell. The commodity of the planter was generally sold by the city factor in the South in order to repay advances made to the grower before the crop was in the ground. These advances were obtained from the local banks, all of which were largely engaged in exchange business with the North and with England. The cotton sold by the factor was paid for by bills of exchange drawn on credits issued chiefly by English bankers and merchants ; and City readers are familiar with the names of the great houses known as " the three W.'s," which were made conspicuous by the enor mous amounts of their commitments for American acceptances in the panic of 1837. The supplies furnished to the Southern States by English manu facturers were not, however, sent directly to the consumers. The North had secured for itself almost exclusively the monopoly of foreign commerce ; and our .own exports were shipped to New York, for consignment to importers, who in turn sold to the Southern merchants the goods sent into the interior for distribution among consumers. But this trade was also dependent upon cotton. The New York buyer paid the Manchester seller with the proceeds of remittances from the New Orleans dealer. The New Orleans dealer was paid by the factor, who got his money from bills drawn on the Liverpool cotton merchant or London banker, discounted by local banks, and remitted by them either directly or via New York. These and similar operations were in constant progress, not only between the two great cities which we have taken as examples, but through out the whole seaboard of America, and every port in Great Britain ; and the relations of the great commercial houses were so intimate that the con necting chord vibrated at either end from the slightest shock at the other. The whole fabric was liable to topple over whenever any serious injury a ffected its main basis, cotton. A heavy fall in thatcommodity iverpool wa s , d u ri ng t h e pre valences tbusiness panics, ; precursor off the system at, we have described, th e cer t a i n extensive bankruptcy i n A mer i ca. Th e disaster reacted with fatal effect on English houses so that men whoconn ecte dlook with Transatlantic o with out further refl ec tion, jump at once t o th e f a l se con clusion, that the like re su l ts must now follow the recent enormous decline in the value of cotton at Liverpool. This decline is not o ver stated at £l6 nly to theh y ohistory of former a bale. With an estimated stock of a million bales on hand, it amounts to £ 16 ,000,000—a loss that in former times would have fallen Chiefl y on America, which then sent us nine-tenths of our cupply. But of the stock now in England only about two-fifths are American ; so that the total is at once brought down to £6,400,000, of which it is known that the United States will lose only a portion, variously estimated at from one-half to three-quarters —too small an amount under any circumstances to pro duce serious effects, and the consequences of which, in the altered state of trade, must be absolutely in significant. The commerce of the United States since the close of the war has no resemblance, so far as this country is concerned, to that which prevailed at the antecedent period. When the sudden and vastly increased demand for our manufactures was shown by the returns of the Board of Trade, there were not wanting alarmists to represent so safe and timate a business as a subject of distrust. The writer of the money articles in a prominent con temporary used ail his efforts to depreciate Ameri can credit ; but, while commenting on the deficiency of the United States - exports, he omitted from his p calculations the most important of all the items— cotton ! The truth is now apparent that, ex hausted as the South was after the struggle of four years, there remained in the country cotton to the amount of nearly 2,500,000 bales, instead of 1,000,000 or 1,200,000, as the first accounts stated. At the enhanced value of the commodity, that quantity fairly represented, when our ex ports were so suddenly increased, £32 per bale, or the enormous aggregate of £80,000,000 ; and a very large proportion of the crop has been sold at that rate. The South, utterly bare of the com monest necessaries of life, required a complete renewal of all that is needed to clothe, to shelter, and to feed, and of everything employed for the purposes of agriculture or locomotion. On the capital of £80,000,000 thus reserved there was no lien or subsisting engagement to impede a free disposal ; and the fund was accordingly used for the legitimate purchase of the manufactures in New England and Old England in a manner and to an extent which startled the Times, but which was thoroughly satisfactory to all who understood the change that had been wrought in the commercial relations between the two countries. If, then, 400,000 bales of American cotton in Liverpool are affected by the recent fall in price, the effect will simply be, that reclamation will be left in the hands of the Liverpool factors against the shippers for any excess of their ad vances over the price now obtainable for the consignments to them. But there are no out standing letters of credit, no vast exchange operations, no excess of trading, no commercial interdependence now existing; and we are tho roughly persuaded that there is no reason for appre hending - . any present disastrous effect to our com merce or monetary affairs from our relations with the United States. That a few houses on the other side, under special circumstances, may feel incon venience from the difficulties that have pressed on us so severely, is to be expected ; but there is no ground whatever for anticipating any effect suffi ciently extensive to react adversely on British com merce or finance. The American Treasury at the last accounts held about £27,000,000, of which £15,000,000 was in gold. Of titis sum it disbursed on the Ist instant over £4,000,000 in payment of dividends, £900,000 of which has already been re ceived, and more will soon follow. So little ground is there for regarding the United States with appre hension, that it is quite possible that country may furnish substantial aid towards the speedy restora tion of confidence and the complete recovery from the panic that has recently prevailed.—Telegraph.

The Battery, B brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, from Wool wiclt, consisting of one officer, 185 non-com missioned officers and men, 30 women, 50 children, and 147 horses, is expected to arrive at Aldershot about the middle of the present month. Gardening around the huts at Aldershot Camp has become the occupation of many of the soldiers in their leisure hours, and the monotonous appear ance of some of the lines will soon be relieved by the various annuals which are the favourites of horti culture. The soldiers who like to cultivate flowers naturally wish to make the most of their patches of ground, but it is found that there is some danger of damaging the huts by the indiscrimate garden ing around them, and in consequence the Lieut.- General commanding has desired that all officers, non-commissioned officers, or soldiers who obtain permission to make gardens round their huts will leave a space of about six inches between the hut and the mould, in order to prevent the wood decay ing and the hut becoming damp. . It is expected that the first gand field-day of the season at Aldershott will be held in the Long Val ley on Thursday, and that the troops will be under . arms at an early hour. Several cavalry field days have lately been held, but none in which the whole division has taken part. A general order, signed by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, K.C.8., Adjutant-General, has been issued from the Horse Guards by command of the Duke of Cambridge, announcing a new code of regulations for the admission of candidates to the Staff College. The amended order directs that all applications to study at the Staff College roust be made while the officer making it is present and serving with his regiment, through the commanding officer. No application from an officer on leave will be enter tained. Although only one officer can be spared from a battalion at a time for the purpose of study ing at the college, this will not necessarily prevent a battalion sending more than one to compete at an examination if circumstances admit of their absence from their regiment. The principle under which officers are allowed to enter. the Staff College being that of pure competition, :candidates who may be found qualified at any examination, but who, from want of a sufficient number of va cancies, cannot then be admitted, will not have any claim to subsequent admission without undergoing another competitive examination. Only one officer at a time can belong to the college from a battalion of infantry or a regiment of cavalry, and only four officers at a time can, be admitted from the corps of the Royal Artillery. Fifteen vacancies will be offered for competition annually, two of which may be filled by officers of the Royal Artillery. The next examination of candidates for admission to the Staff College will commence on the 23d of July, before the Vice-President and members of the Council of Military Education. In the list of officers present at the Royal Artil lery dinner, on the 24th ult., for " Lieut.-Col. Kem mison" read " Lieut.-Col. Kennion." An Admiralty order has.been received at Chatham dockyard announcing that their lordships have de cided on - making a considerable increase in the pay of the dockyard labourers employed at that estab lishment. In future superior hired labourers will be paid at the rate of 3s. per day, the order direct ing that in case the proportion of wages spent on this rate of pay is very materially increased the most inefficient hands are to be discharged. There is little doubt that this increase in the rate of pay will bring a far different class of labourers into Chatham dockyard; the great majority of those now em ployed at that establishment are old army and navy pensioners, who from their age, absence on pension days, for drill, and other causes, are -ill-fitted for the work they have to perform. The armour-plated ship Prince Consort, 21, Capt. George O. Willes, C. 8., recently employed on the coast of Ireland, is now at DeKonport, fitting for service in the Mediterranean. The crew of the screw steam corvette Jason, 17, in Plymouth Sound, were mustered and inspected on Saturday by Port-Admiral Sir H. Fremantle, K. C.B. _ _ The screw steam corvette Satellite, 17, was placed on Saturday in Keyham Steam -yard for the purpose of being prepared for the first division of the Steam Reserve in Hamoaze. Her Majesty's ship Vestal has made her trial trip outside the harbour at Pembroke, and her engines worked most satisfactorily. The maximum speed attained was 13i knots, and the vessel showed excellent sea-going qualities. Her engines are of 300 horse-power, and were manufactured by Mauds ley and Co., of London. Her Majesty's ship Nassau, fitting out at Pem broke Dock, has also made her t r i a l t r i p , w hi c h was in ' every respect satisfactory. She is a handsome little vessel, and is intended for the surveying ser vice. The Chinese Commissioners Pin, and his son, Yo-ho, and their friends and suite, now on a visit to this country from Pekin, on Friday drove down to Woolwich, accompanied by Major Brine, R.E., Major Dick, Major D'Estrange, Mr. Hart, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Ilannen, for the purpose of paying a visit of ceremony to Lieut.-Col. Gordon, R.E., with whom they were acquainted during the period of hi; command of the Chinese Contingent. After lunching at the residence of Capt. Gordon, C. 8., Principal Superintendent of Stores, the whole party, with the exception of the Chief Commissioner Pin, proceeded to an inspection of the departments of the Royal Arsenal. Their first visit was to the Royal gun factories, where they were received by Lieut.-Col. Freeth, Second Commandant, and ac cording to War Department instructions they were admitted to a thorough inspection of the manufac tory. They witnessed the working of one of the 12-ton steam hammers, and the formation and welding of a huge gun coil, which occupied about three-quarters of an hour. Passing hurriedly through the Royal carriage and shell departments they re turned to Capt. Gordon's, where the whole party re-entered their carriages and returned to London, simply calling at the dockyard and inquiring for the Captain -Superintendent without alighting. Two' only of the Chinese appeared to understand our language. It was on Friday announced in Woolwich Arsenal that an official memorandum had been received from the War Department stating that, at the de sire of Col. Clerk, Superintendent of the Royal Car riage Department, whose period of office will expire at the end of the present month, he will be reinstated for a second term of five years. The War Department steamship Lord Panmure, Commander H. G. Moore, sailed yesterday from Woolwich with all despatch, laden with a cargo of 160 tons of shell, shot, and guns, and 216 barrels of powder for Portsmouth.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of ope"ation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TERTFI are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practi c e 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 spe,cialite pertaining 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 extrao- • 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 are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth frOm ss. sets from 5 to 25 go., warranted. For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide `Lancet" Messrs.

Erskine, the inspector-general, who spoke generally in praise of the manner in which the manoeuvres were executed ; but he thought the members had not mustered in the numbers they ought to have done for so important an occasion. The members of the West (9th) Middlesex have just concludedthe competition for the right of repre senting the regiment for the Queen's Prize and the St. George's Vase at the forthcoming Wimbledon meeting. The Wimbledon ranges-200, 500, and 600 yards—were shot up twice on two separate days, and the following for the Queen's were the highest scores in the 60 shots fire :—Ensign Little, 150 ; Major Bridgman, 149 ; Lieutenant Mar riner, 148 ; Private E. Armitage, 148 ; Pri vate W. B. Adams, 144 ; Private C. Hall, 142 ; Ensign Garner, 140 ; Captain Dear, 140 ; Capt. Morris, 135 ; Sergeant Millard, 130 ; Private Bass, 128 ; Private De Briou, 126 ; Private Edmonds, 126 ; Private Peppercorn, 124 ; Private Bisney, 124 ; Private Credie, 124. The represen tatives for the St. George's are Lieut. Marriner, Private E. Armitage, Ensign Little, Major Bridg man, Private W. B. Adams, Private C. Hall, En sign Garner, and Private De Brion. The regiment was inspected the other evening by Col. Erskine, Col. Lord Radstock commanding. There was an excellent muster, and the usual review and field movements were gone through. The Inspector- General, in an address which he made to the regi ment, expressed his great satisfaction with the inspec tion, and said he was much pleased to see that the corps had steadily advanced. He regretted to hear that Lord Radstock was about to resign' the com mand, and after bearing testimony to the zeal and ability always shown by his lordsip, he trusted that the corps would find a worthy successor. A member from the front of each company was then called to the front to receive a prize for attendance at drill w and smartness, after which the corps marched back to head-quarters, where Lord Radstock took the opportunity, as that was likely to be the last large parade for some time, to speak a few words of leave taking. In addition to the prizes already announced for competition at the forthcoming Wimbledon meeting, several series of extra prizes, both for any rifles and for the Enfield, are now open for entry., Among the prizes in these extra series are some by theVintners' Co., the London Armoury Co., Messrs. Mappin and Webb, Mr. John Bennett, Messrs. Hancock, Mr. Thos. Ross, Messrs. Elkington, Messrs. Reilly, III:as:co:I competitors, and Messrs. Stevens, and gentlemen whOst names are we es ll known as donors in previous years. -Some of the prizes are of the value of 50gs., and are in the all-comers being dime Enfield series, at 200,5 The n c entry yards, and two any rifle at 800 ya to rds Place the for each series is 10s.

A competent squad might have been brought forward from different parts of the country to shoot at what is regarded as the national gathering at Wimbledon ; but a suffi cient - number of crack shots of Irish nationality I could not be brought together to go to Scotland.

In Yorkshire last week the Doncaster and Goole companies, the former headed by Capt. Egremont, the latter by Capt. Best, shot a match at 200, 400. and GOO yards. Capt. Best and his seven Volunteers scored 273, beating their opponents who made 257. Both companies were afterwards entertained at dinner by Capt. Egremont. The Pontrefact Volun teers have held their first contest for the silver cup given (to be won three times, or to go to the highest scorer) by Major Waterhouse, M.P. The shooting was good, and in the Park range. The results of the first contest at 150, 400, and 500 yards were— Sergeant Barker, 43 hits; Dr. Simpson, 3g ; Cor poral Rather, 37. About 700 men of the Leeds Volunteer Rifle Corps having been inspected by Lieut.-Col. Wombwell, and were greatly eulogised. The 3d West Yorkshire (Bradford) Rifle Volun teers, with the Eccleshill and Bingley Companies (eight companies altogether), were on Saturday afternoon inspected by Lieut.-Col. Wombwell, her Majesty's Inspector of Volunteer Corps, in Peel park, at Bradford, and after going through a variety of movements, the gallant colonel addressed the officers and men in very complimentary terms on their precision, regularity, and quickness. IRELAND. DUBLIN, June 2. There is much soreness of feeling among the soli citors of Ireland, in consequence of the appointment of a barrister to the Solicitorship of Inland Revenue. They think that, however great the claims of Mr. J. Colbert Stronge to the consideration of the Go vernment, he should have been provided for without giving him one of the comparatively few good things that fall to the lot of the attorneys, although they are the most efficient workers for any Government b they support, es p e cially in electioneering m a tt ers . They think it t h e more strange that a barrister sh ra o n ul c d h boef atllheowperdotzr, forni ff o thi t s he pri f z a e ct fro th m at t A h l e r ir . Stronge is said to be a 'Conservative, and that his brother votes against the Government. The emolu ments of the office amount to £1,600 a year. The Lord-Lieutenant appointed this day to receive a deputation on the subject, but he could only say to them that it was too late, as the appointment of Mr. He told them Stronge had been positively announced. The depu tation, however, attended, with a long memorial the attentively fae ts. H r read to make h w i h m i s c e lf lf his acci E u x a c i e n lly t e e n d c withthat the appointment was vested by law in the Trea sury, with which he could not interfere, and he would not criticize its acts, which would be going had entirely out of his department. He understood that the former occupant of the office, Mr. Smyly, was a barrister, and barristers were appointed to the analo gous offices in England and Scotland. He had him self said that if a barrister were appointed, Mr. Stronge should be the person. The deputation dis claimed any objection to Mri Stronge personally, they only contended for the rights of the attorneys. After some remarks from Mr. Orpcn and Mr. Mac- Namar Cantwell, the deputation withdrew. An influential deputation waited on the Lord- Lieutenant yesterday for the purpose of presenting a memorial against the proposal to substitute union rating in Ireland for the present plan of rating by electoral divisions. The memorial was read by Lord Clonbrock, and supported by Mr. J. Byrne. His Excellency replied that the matter should receive the consideration of the Government, and that he was in communication . with the Chief Secretary on the subject. _ _ The court-martial was occupied the whole of yes terday with the cross examination of Pierce Nagle, the approver, and constable Talbot, of the consta bulary detective staff. Nothing was elicited by the prisoner calculated to shake the testimony given on their direct examination. The court resumed its sittings this morning at the usual hour, when the prisoner handed in a protest against further pro -1 cealings with the trial, on the ground that it had no jurisdiction in the case, because, if the evidence proved anything - against him, I.t] . irrred that he was • •guilty of high treason, and not of 'a violation of the Mutiny Act. He therefore gave notice that he would apply to one of the superior Courts for a writ to stop the trial, for which purpose he demanded a copy of the notes of the proceedings. The Court refused the application and decided that the trial should proceed. Constable Talbot was then recalled and further cross-examined by the prisoner. The Court adjourned till Monday. The informer Nagle left by the mail boat last night for England. It is said that he is afraid to re main in the country. English Salmon Fisheries• Mr. Ffennell's fifth annual report to the Home Secretary on the salmon fisheries of England and Wales has just been issued. Mr. Ffennell remarks : " Two unusually dry summers following in succes sion affected all the rivers in the United Kingdom, and those of England, whose recovery from extreme ex haustion had only just set in, were not in a state to bear so well this unfavourable occurrence as the rivers of Scotland and Ireland, where more stamina existed. The very favourable results, however, which had been experienced in the operation of the first two yeaks of the Act of 1861 had convinced the public of the soundness of the principles which it recognised, and had established a firm conviction that the salmon fisheries of England would and must prosper under such improved laws, if so amended and strengthened as to enable them to be adequately administered." The report gives au elaborate analysis of the Act 28 and 29 Vict. c. 121, which is now about to come v e Y eainpgtu ofe r into operation. There are two very important pro visionslicence d cuotnitaesionn all instrumentsedinthisact :ounsee,a in thetlhe of salmon, for the purpose of providing funds for protection, and the constitution of boards of con servators to administer those funds ; the other, the appointment of special commissioners to ascertain what fixed engines are entitled to be continued in use under the provisions of the Act of 1861. " There are two questions at stake," Mr. Ffennel proceeds to remark, " of vital importance to the future pros perity of the fishery : one the removal of all fixed engines in tidal waters not privileged under the Act of 1861 ;' and the other the removal or regula tion, as the case may be, of all fishery weirs and fishery mill dams in fresh waters, in con formity with the provisions of, that act. The Legislature has provided a means by which these matters may be determined and set at rest forever without further delay, and at the same time reliev ing the fishery interests the ted as it sh ou ld be,have vigorously come fishery protection w ill be wahpophave the protracted and expensive litigation. consequences is to be hoped of that t andthis h forward in support many o furt h er s timulated in their laudable zeal, an d en couraged to o m a eas t the e xtend ur°will their be from of fishery exertions and attention to ot h er a meliorations in the st a t e of the waters of the co untry, which may undoubt e d ly be effected to a very important extent, if measures quite within the scope of practical r • app 'cation be systemati cally and judiciously d a opted. Next in importance to the restriction of fixed engines within the limits wiff ° to ned them , by the Act of 1861 are the enactments in the Act of 1865, which provide for levying licence duties or rates upon all engines em ployed in the I capture osalmon, to be applied for the purposes of picitection under the direction of boards of conservators, who are to be appointed by the magistrates at quarter sessions. The manifest necessity for such a measure has been so fully dis cussed in former reports, and so generally acquiesced in, that it is unnecessary to offer any remarks upon either the expediency or equity of the principle of a fixed arrangement of this kind, by which every one wishing to partake of the benefits will contribute to the protection of that in which he has an interest, and of which he desires to avail himself." Twenty-four districts have been formed under the act, of which the boundaries are given in the report. Mr. Ffennell remarks in conclusion :—" In former reports I have expressed an opinion that much more might be done than has been done in mitigating the effects of pollutions, even as the law stands at pre sent. lam still of that opinion, an d hope that the f orm ation of districts with boards of c onservators this' direction." will lead to more practical activityin JOHN GOSNELL a n d CO.'S CHERRY TOOTH PASTE is greatly superior to any tooth powder; gives the teed' a pearl whiteness, protects the enamel from decay, and imparts a pleasant fragrance to the breath.
