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 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.

The directors of this company have decided on recommending the payment of a dividend of 3s. per share, or 13. per cent. per annum, for the half-year ending the 31st of December last, against 2s. 6d. per share, or 11 per cent. per annum, for the corre sponding half of 1864. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The directors in their report state that they have again to congratulate the proprietors upon the con tinued improvement in the traffic receipts. As com pared with the corresponding period of 1864, the amount received for passengers, goods, minerals, and cattle have been as follows :—Passengers, &c, receipts, £1,496,696 ; goods, mineral, and cattle receipts, £1,678,981—t0ta1, £3,175,677. This addi tion to the receipts admits of a dividend at the rate of 71 as against 7 per cent. per annum in February last year. The Central Wales line from Knighton to Liandrindod, a distance of 19} miles, was opened for public traffic on the Ist of December last, and is being worked under an agreement for which Parlia mentary powers and the sanction of the shareholders have already been obtained. The directors regret to report that the bills introduced this session of Parliament affecting the company are as numerous as in any previous year. They have been considered by the board, and their progress in committee will be carefully watched. Against Isom° of them it will be needful to petition ; but where practicable the directors will endeavour to protect the company's interests by friendly arrangement rather than by Parliamentary contest. The bills promoted by the company are not of an extensive character, and do not involve the construction of lines in new districts, but only of such short branches and enlargement of existing stations and works as the rapidly-increasing traffic and the requirements of the public imperatively demand. The bills contain the necessary Parliamentary powers for authoris ing additional capital to be raised for these new works. The bill for a line between Halifax and Huddersfield, to be constructed jointly with the Midland Company and parties locally interested, which failed on standing orders last year, has been re-introduced this Session. The directors have pro moted a bill for the transfer of the Whitehaven Junction and Cockermouth and Workington lines. The total liability is small, while the traffic thus se cured is important, and passes for a considerable distance on the main li ne. The advantage of a con nexion with the extensive coalfields of Leicestershire and Derbyshire has been frequently urged upon the notice of the board, and, finding that independent parties have in this session of Parliament deposited bills for this object, the directors will consider what steps it would be most advisable to adopt in support of such lines as offer the company access to the dis trict. The directors, in conjunction with several influential gentlemen in Sh eff i eld an d the locality, considering it essential that a railway between Bux ton and Sheffield should be constructed, had the esti mated cost of the line as laidd own u l t i mate l y prove d country surveyed and pl ans prepared, but the greater than they expected, and it was therefore deemed unadvisable to proceed with the measure in the present session. Assured, however, that a com munication is needed, alike for local requirements and for the furtherance of the general interests of the company, and that it can be obtained at a mode rate cost, the directors have pledged themselves to promote in the next session a revised scheme of ef fecting these objects. In announcing to the pro prietors the resignation of Mr. Charles E. Stewart the directors desire to express their sense of his able and honourable services for the 19 years during which he held the office of secretary. Mr. Stephen Reayhas been appointed to succeed Mr. Stewart. The directors request the votes of the proprietors for £350,000 to provide , additional engines, waggons, and carriages, and £159,965 for additional sidings, additional accommodation, and other work, at above 60 places and stations; £23,544 at places on the Lancaster and Carlisle line, and £16,149 at several places in connexion with the Chester and Holyhead line.

The report of the directors states that the receipts of the company during the past half-year had ex ceeded those for the corresponding period of 1864 by £102,001. The gross receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of December last, on 1,2071 miles, amounted to £1,915,980, against £1,813,979, on 1,1601 miles, showing an increase of £102,001, and the working expenses, taxes, &c., amounted to £906,433, against £864,651, showing an increase of £41,782. The net receipts for the half-year amounted to £1,009,547, against £949,328, show ing an increase of £60,219. The directors recom mended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 61 per cent. per annum on the Berwick - ordinary stock, leaving £3,730 ; on the York ordinary stock at the rate of 61 per cent. per annum, leaving £536 ; GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on n i Saturday in Dublin—Mr. W. Haughton in the Mr. Taylor, the secretary, read the report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAZI, in moving its adoption, said that if at any time the directors had deserved any credit for the management of the company's affairs, they never deserved it more than during the eventful years through which they had lately passed, and in which the company's dividend was reduced only to a small extent. It was exceedingly gratifying to the directors to meet the shareholders again with the largest surplus they had ever had on any pre vious occasion. (Hear.) It was a clear bona fide surplus of £26,000, of which they proposed to allo cate £7,000 to the reserve fund, which would then amount to £12,000. They proposed to add £3,000 ' to the insurance fund, making it £5,000, and the balance of £16,000 they expected would be amply sufficient to protect the company's dividend for the year 1866. The increase in their passenger traffic fcr the past half-year amounted to £22,000. It was the decided opinion of the directors that if they consulted the interests of the shareholders, and not the expectations and gratification of the public, they never would run an excursion train upon their line. (Hear, hear.) The worry, the expense, and the risk attendant on those trains far more than out weighed, in the opinion of the directors, any pro blematical profit they might derive from them. After some discussion the report was adopted, the dividend on the consolidated stock, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, was declared, and the retiring auditor, Mr. R. Atkinson, was re-elected. ROYSTON AND HI2CHIN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at the office, Gracechurch-street ; Mr. J. C. Cobbold, M.P., in the chair. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Sir R. CARDEN, a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, less income tax, and id. per £6 ss. stock for expenses of management, was declared on the Royston, Hitchin, and Shepreth Consolidated Stock for the half-year ending Feb. 1, payable forthwith. SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN). The half -yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at the London Tavern ; Mr. R.A. Heath in the chair. Mr. Hillier, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which has appeared, was taken as read. The CHATIMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the works were progressing favourably, and they expected that by Midsummer nextthe lino would be opened throughout for traffic. Slips had occurred in some of the embankments, which were being made good, and, as the contractors would have to keep the whole of the works in good order for one year after the opening of the line, he trusted that, by that time, the works would be properly con solidated. With regard to another matter, the di rectors have thought it right that the shareholders should have a copy of the whole of the correspond ence that had taken place between the directors of the company and Capt. de Medeiros, the agent of the Brazilian Government. The directors, as they might suppose, were not very well pleased with the result of that correspondence, as they considered the Brazilian Government had broken faith with them, Capt. de Medeiros having had full authority to treat with the company. He protested on behalf of the company against the consequences of that ac tion of the Government which appeared to him not only to be highly prejudicial to the shareholders of the San Paulo Railway, but also very injurious to Brazilian credit in this country. He therefore cond dered the Imperial Government as responsible to the company for any extra charge at which they might be obliged to raise the money beyond the 7 per cent. guaranteed by the concession. He sug gested that the shareholders should among them selves contribute the requisite sum by taking their proportion of the bonds ; the directors would also take their share of them, and they would thus gain considerable advantage by adopting that course, and be independent of external aid. To subscribe for bonds to the amount of one-fifth of their present holding would be sufficient to raise all the money the company would require. A SHAREHOLDER thought there must have been some misapprehension as to the translation from the Portuguese. Mr. SAMUEL begged to say that the version he had given of the proposition was the right one, and was in strict conformity with the private instructions of Captain de Medeiros. Mr. FLESCRER thought they had very little to ex pect from the Brazilian Government. It was the Government and not the people of Brazil that were to blame. The report and statement of accounts were then unanimously adopted. The retiring auditors, Mr. Alderman Dakin and Mr. Galsworthy, were re elected. Mr, GOEZ considered the suggestion of the direc tors for raising the requisite money a very good one. Mr. WusoN proposed a resolution expressing the views of the shareholders as to the recent proceed ings of the Brazilian Government ; but after some conversation it was withdrawn, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending the 20th of January amounted, for local passengers, to £4,229 ; for foreign passengers, to £1,460 ; for mails, &c., to £976 ; for local freight and live stock, to £11,746 ; for foreign freight and live stock, to £2,598 ; total, £21,009, against £21,201 for the corresponding week of last year, showing a decrease of £192. The total receipts from the Ist January to the above date amounted to £64,865, and for the same period last year to £63,757, showing an increase of £1,105. RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, ALP., the President of the Poor-law B oar d, rece i ve d a deputationof i members of London Guardian Boards, who had agreed to confer with him on the destruction by railway companies and other bodies of house property occupied by the London labouring classes. There were present with the President—Lord Enfield, M.P., Mr. H. B. Farnall, C. 8., Mr. Rawlinson, C. 8., Mr. Lumley, and Mr. Fletcher ; and the assistant-secretaries, Mr. Owen and Mr. Sutton. Many of the chief metro politan parishes were represented by the deputation, among the members of which were Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. J. S. Storr, Mr. Bonthorn, and Mr. Hanson. Mr. Kilmer, the clerk to the Strand Union, read the memorial, which stated that " the memorialists, having recently investigated the present state of the house and lodging accommodation for the labouring and poorer classes within their respective districts, feel it their duty to report that the dwellings of the poor classes in the city are for the most part unsuit able for their requirements, that great overcrowding prevails, and that owing to recent demolitions the rentals are very much higher than formerly." These homes of the people, the memorial went on to state, caused increased of disease, immorality, and pau perism, and checked all progress towards a higher civilisation ; thus increasing the poor-rates, while decreasing the number of those who might be called ratepayers. The memorial called attention to the large number of bills for new metropolitan railways and other schemes to be laid before the Legislature, and expressed the opinion of the memorialists, that if any great proportion of these bills were sanc tioned without provision being made on an adequate scale for the poor who will be dispossessed of their homes much further suffering would be inflicted on the poor, and a heavy penalty would fall upon the ratepayers and the guardians. It was recommended that corporations, limited owners, and others, should have increased powers to sell lands for the erection of dwellings for labourers, that the Public Loan Com missioners should be authorised to lend money at a rate not exceeding 3i per cent. per annum for building such dwellings, and that in future railway acts and acts for local improvements,when housesinhabitedby the working classeswere destroyed under compulsory powers, such companies should be compelled to pro - vide within a convenient distance other dwellings in lieu of those destroyed. In reply to questions put by the presidentalr.Wilkin son and Mr.Kilner stated that meetings had been held of the London guardians, who moved in this matter in the general interests of the ratepayers, as it was felt that this destruction of the dwellings of the lower and labouring classes leads to many evils, as overcrowding, fever-breed ing, and such like, which increases pauperism. Mr. Kilner, in answer to such interrogatories, said it was within his own knowledge that the dwellings of the people in the Strand district were in a very bad condition, and the destruction of dwellings for the new law courts would make the overcrowding in the houses not to be pulled down very great indeed. The President asked if large numbers of the people were not now carried out to the suburbs by the rail ways at a rery low rate, so giving them opportu nities of reaching their work in the morning and returning in the evening, to which it was replied that such was the case to some extent, but that it was imperative on large numbers of people to live near their work. That large buildings could be erected in town with advantage was shown in the fact that Mr. Waterlow's buildings and those erected by the Peabody Trustees had given a profit on the expen diture, besides giving the people healthy and com fortable homes ; but this was a speculation which would not be engaged in by capitalists. The Presi dent asked if the guardians contemplated taking this matter into their own hands, and offer to mort gage the rates as security for money advanced, and some gentlemen replied that they had no idea of mortgaging the rates. They thought that the laud and building material would be sufficient security for all money advanced, and instanced the case of Liverpool, where it was said the corporation had borrowed money to improve the dwellings of the poor. Mr. Wilkinson said there were many places in a very bad condition, which by a comparatively small expenditure might be made habitable ; and taking the subject in its broadest aspect, great it good would accrue to the general populationif guardians had this power and exercised it. As Billingsgate came was, people who worked in the docks and at Billm to live in the Strand district, w here they had had a a cc m om at m te o r d f a o t ri accommodation those an d c p o a n i d n evcetreyd dearlyw i with t ; h and ) o t o h r i s - l w a w a 8 , as a d the h ey people's bem ehealthchargeable brok e t under o the ra t t e h a e . i r Themis eirny, the pauper and the onerout-doorpoor classwere, said,h d e epen denvte' poorry c andd lo a s n ely connected, ran into the other. Mr. Lumleywld u askedotthemselves, if em th s e el o v w es n , e i r n s of 1 the low class property would i m prove the dwellings so as to ma k e then pay better ; and if the guardians proposed to obtain compulsory powers to become collectively houseowners, to which it was replied that it was not contemplated to make the guardians the permanent owners of lodging-house or other property ; and Mr. Bonthorn, one of the guardians of St. James's, Westminster, gave a description of the shocking dwellings he and other guardians visited in discharge of their duties as honorary relieving officers, and expressed the opinion that if some of the inferior dwellings in his parish could be cleared away, far more commodious dwellings could be erected on the same spaces of ground. The present dwellings were in the hands of about three persons, the landlord, a middleman, and then a third sort of middleman, and the poor people paid a most exorbitant rent for bad accommodation. Mr. Hanson urged that all railway companies should be compelled to erect dwellings in place of those they destroyed, and said corporations did not destroy the homes of the work ing man so much as the railways, for these would not propose to come through a place like Whitehall, but they went round the " slums" and the poor districts. He answered, in reply to Mr. Farnall, that he knew the railway companies paid compensation to the owners and lessees of all house property ; and in answer to a further question by the same gentle man, as to whether he would make the companies, besides paying this compensation to owners, build other houses for the working-classes, he said that that was a matter best considered and set right by the Legislature. Mr. Storr then addressed the Pre sident, and said that though the number of the work ing people who would have to be turned out for the new Law Courts was set down as 3,082, yet they were a much greater number, and said every interest had been watched over—the parish interest, the landlord interest, the Church interest, all except the interest of the dwellers in the houses, who obtained no com pensation, and who ought to be protected by the Poor Law Board. He held up a bill containing in flammatory language, in which his own name had been printed without his consent, and this, he said, had been done by an old Chartist agitator, who was trying, and not altogether withoutsuccess, to inflame the minds of the people against what he called the " cruel oppression" to which they were exposed in being turned out of their homes. He thought there should be a central power to deal with the metropo lis and watch over these railways, which he owned did some good, but he said there was such a thing as doing too much good at once, and London, it was agreed on all hands, had of late been terribly knocked about. Mr. Rawlinson said there were many plots of land about the metropolis in which the guardians were distributing relief amounting to - far more Wan the rents received from the houses, and this was in a great measure owing to the wretched class of dwell ings. He believed that if the London guardians had appointed counsel to watch over their interest before the committee of the House of Commons theywould have obtained compensation, as had other places in the country. He was of opinion that where guardians expended as much money as the landlords received, they should have thepower of buying such property, improving it, and selling it—a course which would benefit all parties, and especially the landlords, who, he said, were in some cases only one remove from the tenant in poverty. After a very long and interest ing conversation, the President said the Government had had their attention drawn to the subject, which was one of great importance, and they proposed to meet some of the difficulties by lending money for the purpose of erecting dwelling places for the work ing classes. As to the clauses which the deputation asked should be inserted in railway bills, and such like questions, they were questions which must re main for the Legislature to deal with as it thought uroper. The deputation thanked Mr. Villiers for his courtesy, and for the patience with which he had listened to them, and retired. The Loss of the Steamer London. The official inquiry, instituted by the Board of Trade, into the circumstances attending the foun dering of the steamer London, was resumed yester day at the Greenwich Police-court, before Mr. Trail, the district stipendiary magistrate, and Cap tains Harris and Baker, the nautical assessors. Mr. Waun, surveyor at Lloyds,was recalled, and repeated the evidence he had previously given re specting the seaworthiness of the London. He added that so satisfied was he of the excellence of the ship's fittings and her capacity for any voyage that he asked Mr. Wigram to let his own son go in her as third engineer. George Barber, shipwright, surveyor of the Board of Trade, was re-examined byMr. O'Dowd. He said he had compared the dimensions of the London with those of several transatlantic vessels at Liverpool and the Clyde, and he had found the comparison favourable to the London. He had considered the tonnage under deck in connexion ith the dimen sions, and he did not think that the London was what was called a sharp ship. On looking at the dimensions of the masts and yards of the London, he did not consider they were out of proportion in relation to the size of the ship. He objected to box spurketing on the weather deck of a vessel like the London, RE it prevented the escape of deck water. In reply to Mr. Traill, The witness said if the skylight of the engine room had been properly secured by its fastenings and battened down, he was at a loss to account for the manner in which it had been unshipped. He did not think that any sea could have carried it away, and he was of opinion that the quantity of water capable of being shipped in the engine -room could not have swamped the ship. The witness, in reply to Mr. O'Dowd, said he had carefully considered the question of fixing a load line in ocean-going steamers, and he was of opinion that the proposed experiment was fraught with much difficulty, when viewed in connexion with the interests of owners and passengers. Sir Samuel Hooper was examined byMr. O'Dowd, and deposed—He had been speaker of the Legisla tive Assembly in Sydney.

He considered that the combi ngs o f the London were too low, and he c omp l a i ned of th e disadvantages of the generality o f E nglish ships ip in this respect when compared with fo re i gn s t eamers. under b Mr. O'Dowd asked the witness if his evidence was - not voluntary, and in the interest of the public. The witness replied that was so. He wished to say that, as some aspersions had been cast on the professional reputation of Capt. Martin, he believed him to have been a first-rate seaman, and the samo might be said of Mr. Harris, the chief officer. Mr. Cowley Miller, shipbuilder, of Liverpool, was examined, and expressed his condemnation of the system of introducing spurketing in ships, as was the case in the London. He attributed the foundering of the London to this circumstance, and he had no doubt that if the ship had been provided with a cutter way and a sufficient number of port skylightg enera of the London, ot properly protected. he port holes she would now be on her voyage to Melbourne. He had never seen it used either at Liverpool or on the Clyde in iron ships. In reference to the protec tionhad come to the conclusion that the f as t en i ng had been left in an unsecured state.

Th e o bj ect of the meeting was to wind up the matter, and arrange as to the best mode of distributing the money that had resulted from the subscription that was so kindly inaugurated by the committee, aided by the influence of the Lord Meyer, who, it will be remembered, headed the list with a subscription of 20 guineas. Among the gentlemen present were a representative of Wigrain and Co. (owners of the London), Mr. B. Hume, Mr. Nunn, Mr. H. R.
