Th e p oor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whdever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave 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 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 ramifies 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 ?

William Douglas and Thoi Henry Douglas, the two men recently apprehended at Doncaster on the charge of being concerned in the robbery at the Manchester Stamp-office, between the 26th and 28th May, were brought up on re mand at the City Police-court on Thursday. Mr. Bonnet objected to proceeding with the case, as Mr. Cottingham, the counsel he had engaged for the prisoners, was out of town. He applied for a remand. Mr. Jacobs, for the pro secution, opposed the application, as he had about a dozen witnesses present at a considerable expense. Mr. Fowler said counsel ought to be present. Mr. Bennet—He will bo here to-morrow. Mr. Fowler —I cannot grant an adjourn ment. Mr. Bennet—Then I ask that the case may be put back till 2 o'clock—[it was now a few minutes past 11.] Mr. Fowler—l'll give you an hour. Mr. Bennet—Very well. At the expiration of an hour Mr. W. P. linberts, yb instruction of Mr. Bennet, appeared in court for the prisoners. Mr. Bonnet objected to the case being heard against Batt and Leeson ; and Mr. Jacobs said that, as they were already committed, he should proceed with the cases as against the Douglases only. Batt and Leeson, who had been brought to the court under a writ of habeas corpus, were consequently not placed in the dock. The case was then proceeded with, the evidence already given by the several witnesses against Batt and Leeson being read and confirmed in the presence of the prisoners, and the fresh evidence taken afterwards. Mr. J. Alton, chief clerk to the Hon. Mr. Howard, stamp distributor, Manchester, said he had been employed in the Stamp-office 21 years. He had never known bill stamps to be supplied to the distributor on any other paper than the large size handed to him. (The stamp tendered by Batt at Somerset House.) Cross-examined —Witness had the con trol of the safe key. Whenever the safe was locked the key was in witness's charge. In the daytime, when the safe was unlocked, the key was in witness's drawer. The bill stamp produced had been cut of a sheet and trimmed with a pair of scissors. There would be seven other bill stamps on the same sheet. Witness had compared the stamp, but it did not agree in size with any stamp in the office. The stamp was one of the lot received in Manchester on the 19th May. He thought no stamps out of that lot were sold. Batt's peculiarity, spoken of by witness, was a boasting air.—James J. Thompson, inspector of the metropolitan police, said he apprehended the two prisoners on the 13th inst. in the betting ring on the Doncaster racecourse. Ho told the prisoner William that he was taking him into custody for the robbery at the Manchester Stamp-office. He made no reply. Thomas Douglas was standing by at the time. Witness then took both to the police station, where he formally charged them. Witness next searched the prisoners' lodgings in Doncaster, where ho found " Wright's Racing Turf Guide" for August. The number of the same publication which witness found at the Stamp Office was for May. Witness learned that Thomas Douglas lived at 51, Roman-road, Islington, London. Ho therefore visited that house, and he found there the papers and set of tools produced. He afterwards visited 33, Alfred-street, in the same neighbourhood, the house in which the pri soner William lodged. He there found other tools, certain papers, a little jewellery, about 40 stones which had been taken from signet rings, and four or five crucibles. Cross examined—The prisoners refused, when taken, to give any address in Doncaster, Witness discovered their address in that town from a paper ho found in the possession of Wil liam. The tools (which Mr. Roberts had taken from the box found at the house of Thomas), wore, he believed, or dinary tools. But would Mr. Roberts take out the two pair of American pincers which were in use by thieves for opening hotel doois ? (Laughter.)—Witness found in the house in the Itoman-road seven of the prisoner Thomas's children. Selim Cohen, who took the Jewish oath after carefully opening the Bible at the beginning, said ho was a tool factor and licen sod appraiser for the trade, iu Waterloo-road, Lambeth. Mr. Fowler—What is Mr. Cohen to prove ? Mr. Jacobs—The use of the tools found. Mr. Fowler said he had always thought that there were in Manchester some of the cleverest mechanics in the world. lie did not un derstand why they must send to London for such evi dence. Witness said he had examined the tools, &c., found at the prisoner's houses. Amongst the articles were five crucibles, which were used for melting, valuable metals, and a box containing scales and troy weights. Following witness's inference the crucibles would bo for unsetting the stones of rings, &c. Mr. Fowler—We don't want your inferences. Witness—A man who has these tools would not want gold weights. Mr.. Fowler have some. Wit ness—But you have not housebreaking i m plements ? Mr. Fowler—l have. Thep h a ve been given to me by parsons in this Court. Witness—Well, that accounts for your pos session of them, your worship. (Laughter.) Among the tools, witness continued, were also a hand vice, steel wedge, steel pike, broken screw driver, gimlet, gouge, and American worm centre bit. Any of these articles separately might be for a legitimate purpose, but the whole, collec tively, could not. There was also a plug tap, which would break open any lock in the world. The plug tap was D over used for a lawful purpose. Most of the robberies which had been committed at the London hotels had boon committed by means of pincers similar to those produced. Mr. Fowler—Might not a locksmith have such pincers ? Witness—Yes, but he would not have troy weights. (Laughter.) Ho would not, however, have such pincers ; he would open the lock by lawful means. I went to seven of the largest shops in London yesterday, and I could not got a pair. Mr. Fowler—They have been known for some time? Witness—Yes; but they era not employed legitimately. The tools found in Manchester and London, the N'vitzess added, were of the same descrip tion; they were c 4 home made," the work of some skilful person. Cross-examined—He (witness) had never been convicted of, or charged' with, any offence. He had been employed by the Commissioners of the metropolitan police in such inquiries as the present for nearly 20 years. With out any egotism, he was an honest, respectable man : and he had been in business since 1836. The history of his connection with the present case was this: --Inspector Thompson recently sent for him, showed him a carpet bag containing the tools produced, and said, " What is you r opinion of the Owner of these tools?". Witness replied that he was a first-class housebreaker. Witness would.not swear that the toolS produced had been used for opening's safe of the description of that in the Stamp-office. They might have been so used. No person but a goldsmith or a jeweller required crucibles and troy weights, and taking those articles in connection with the vice and large files he should say that the whole were never used for legitimate purposes. He would as soon expect to find that file NEWSPAPER k _ki• Sl >Pn large one) and a watch key Logethe ma y' =ft IVA ? Mr. Roberts—l dare say you might fin k S% ing table. Witness—lndeed ? Mr. Ito ness—Well, sir, I'll take your word for itLauater. Richard Shaw, tailor, Drury-court, London, said, in con tinuation of his previous evidence, that tho prisoners were the persons whom he had already spoken of as Tom the countryman and Bill the countryman. Cross examined— He had been looking for evidence in Manchester. Ile did not go out of his house, for he valued his life too much. He did not know that he was wanted for anything. He did not know that there was any charge against him. Mr. Jacob explained that since Shaw had disappeared in these proceedings it had been found necessary to keep him under the constant protection of the police. Joseph S. Jarman, pottnan at the Plough Brewery, Lambeth, said ho formerly lived at the Crystal Fouuta'n beorshop, Kennington-road, Lambeth, a house which was kept by Charles Leesou Witness loft about 23d of April of the present year. Lee son said he wanted some one more capableof taking care of the business, as he should be away front home t► good deal in the suituner. Witness know the prisoners iu the dock by the name of Tomatud Bill Deugi:is. They had frequently used Leeson's hems,. He used to sac them there three or four times a week. Bill sometimes visited in the mercies-, and accompanied Leeson to the betting ring at Hyde -park. The witness Shaw used to visit Leeson's—sometimes at intervals of a metal; and at other times almost daily. Wit ness never heard of Shaw betting. Witness accounted for the long intervals between Shaw's visits by supposing that his wife locked him up and made him work. (Laughter.) Robert France, a commissionaire at Somerset House, said the prisoner Thomas was one of the three persons whom he saw on the 19th July in cotnpsuy with Batt and Leeson. The prisoners were the two men whom ho saw with Lee son on the following morning. Cross-examined—Ho had not seen Thomas since. The only occasion on which ho had seen William was at Lewes races. Witness then pointed him out to Inspector Thompson. William Douglas was on a booth at the time, but when ho. saw he was pointed out he ran out of the booth by the back way. Inspector Thompson, re-called, said ho wont to the Lewes races, together with Franco and Shaw, in search of the prisoners. Witness was told by Franco that he had seen the prisoner William, but ho did not take him into custody as Shaw refused at that time to give evidence and without his evidence there was no case. When he apprehended him witness found £l3O in notes on the pri ioner Thomas. He afterwardsgot £250 from his(Thomas's) wife, and also stopped £3OO whiCh was in the London and Westminster Tank to the credit of Thomas. Joseph Pearce, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, London, messenger, ail - 77 5 . 5 ."7 6 T05t-T7" that on the 19th July, between 12 and 1 o'clock, he saw the two prisoners and a' short man speaking to the witness, France, who painted in their presence to Somerset House. rho two prisoners crossed over the Strand towards the Red Lion, and tho short man went towards Somerset House. Some time in the afternoon the prisoner William came to witness, and asked him whore the commissionaire was. Witness again saw him near the Lyceum Theatre the same afternoon. He thought he saw him again on the following day. George Ranger, a constable of the metro politan police, Said that on the Monday or Tuesday before Batt's apprehension, ho saw him (Batt) at Leeson's beer house, conversing with Leeson. On the second examine.. tiou of Batt at Bow-street, witness was directed to watch whether any one communicated with Batt when he was taken from Court. He saw the witness Shaw place some thing in the hand of Batt, and witness afterwards tracked Shaw to Leeson's house. On the following day he saw the prisoner William at Leeson's beerhouse. He was dancing in front of the bar, and an organ was being played outside. Witness never saw the prisoner Thomas there. William Thomas; sergeant in the metropolitan police, said he was on duty on the grand stand at Doncaster on the 13th inst. By direction of Inspector Thompson he took the prisoner Thomas into custody. Ho searched him, and found in his f p: n s m se t ss h i e o possession a n ee o te e e s u a r n a e d , g the o ld p t o r i t n h e e n e v r a a u s e k o e f d £ w l3 i ' t 3 n . e o s a n wthe whether Shaw was there. Mr. Fowler—Had you mentioned Shaw ? Witness -No, sir; I knew nothing about him. Mr. Ben net—Shaw's name had been published in the papers. Wit ness resumed—Thomas said, "Its the wooden-legged man." He added, "Ifhe is hero, he's a great liar." Mr. Fowler— Do you mean to tell me that going down to Doncaster you did not know that the prisoners were wanted? Witness— I did not. Had you not full information about this Man chester robbery? Witness—l had; but I didn't know who were wanted. Mr. Fowler—That is to say that Thompson, having all the information about these men, never commu nicated with you. Witness—He did not; nor should I, if I had possessed the evidence, have told Inspector Thompson. Mr. Fowler—That is, you keep the reward to yourself ? Witness—The police have no rewards. Mr.Fowler—Well, we have got a little insight into the detective system of the country. Wm. Mellor, a constable of the Manchester po lice, said that on the evening of May 26th he was on duty near the Stamp-office. At 9 o'clock that night he met the prisoner William at the corner of Cross-street and Market stteet. He was pacing to and fro. Ho saw him again 20 minutes afterwards at the corner of Cross-street and Bank street. Later in the evening witness, looking along Ex change-arcade prisoner . Altogether sLln d - iug c near the Cross-street from u entranceie-stre saw iotle the A rca d witness passed him four times, and saw him distinctly five D or six tunes. About a fortnight ago witness recognised him at Ilia Alliart-street. :station while with several other men; Mr. Roberts said he could not see in the evidence a single circumstance which would cause a jury to find the prisoners guilty. There wore a number of circumstances consistent with guilt, but nothing more. There was no possibility of a judgo allowing the case to go to a jury. Thu prisoners wore committed for trial at the assizes, State of Prisons. The annual issue of the Reports of the Inspee tora of the County and Borough Prisons of Great Britain has recently been completed for 1865. They are reports on the gaols as they were. Many, at least, are now in a state of transition, having to be brought into conformity with the requirements of the statute of 1865 in order that they may not lose the Government allowance. The inspectors have to tell of a gaol in which a bold prisoner sets the governor at defiance with impunity ; of a gaol where so far from communication between prisoners being prevented, the governor's family are constantly dis gusted by their conversation ; gaols where the hard labour " is only nominal," and " must be regarded by the prisoners very much in the light of amuse ment." These matters, it may be expected, will now be better regulated, and we may hope to learn that cells are lighted, and prisoners not allowed, as they were in 1865 in several prisons, to be in ay. There are several irregular p r a c t i ces which bed in the winter for 13, 1 4 , and even 15 hours a ought not to exist, some of them leaning to the side of unwarranted severity. The inspector found i n H ere f or d County Gaol a novel form of 'labour, namely, forced marching in quick time 20 miles a day round a yard. As may be supposed, the ex hausting effect of this makes itself very visible on men beyond the vigour of youth. In Manchester Gaol a practice has been adopted of gagging women who have persisted iu disturbing the prison by shouting and screaming. This 'is a mode of punish ment unknown to the law. At Lewes the chapel services, three in number, are described as occupy ing so much time as to make it impossible to exer cise all the prisoners; there should be time for mercy as well as for sacrifice. In a Scotch prison the inspector found prisoners employed in doing , work for the Governor. So inadequate for its pur pose is Dover Town Gaol that on some cases of small-pox occurring last year it was found neces sary to pardon and discharge 31 criminals to save them from the contagion—a strange failure of jus tice. At Tiverton the weekly cost of food is stated to be as high as 3s. 6d. per prisoner ; it is supplied by contract, but the contractor is, or last year was, the Governor himself. At Colchester the rate is returned as still higher—namely, 4s. 4d. Here, also, the gaoler himself supplies the food at this charge. The new prison dietary is de clared by the surgeons to be not more than sufficient to maintain health and strength. The surgeon of Southwell House of Correction notices symptoms of general debility, and in one case a com plete prostration of strength. On the inspection of Chester Castle a prisoner complained that he had been discharged from Congleton Union in a coarse canvas suit marked all over with the words " Con gleton Union," and becoming in consequence au ob ject of ridicule, he committed arson in order to get into prison. He admitted that lie had destroyed his own clothing iu the union, but alleged that it was done by accident. It is mentioned that in one or two prisons earth-closets have been substituted for the ordinary water-closets with great advantage in the condition of the air. The Inspect ors state, in several instances, th a t a lt erat i ons are being _ made in inadequate gaols to bring them into conformity with' the new Act ; and some of the s maller prisons might well be abandoned, and con tracts made for neighbouring the reception of the prisone rs in larger and well-appointed ga ols. At Abingdon th e Inspector found four prisoners cleaning the front court to prevent their escape except esupervision fan officer who would be almost Powerles9. to prevent , it. with nothing o T ILE FRENCH EX II IBITION.—The Moniteur an flounces that the Imperial Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1867 are prepared to receive tenders for the privilege of opening a cafe concert in the grounds of the building.
