Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been giv,en 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 iitinen, 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 leak £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 cur 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 t 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.

PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL. Lord SONDES presented petitions from Norwich and other places against this bill. ___ CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a bill to amend the law relating to capital punishment, founded on the re port of the Capital Punishment Commission, which was read a first time. He said he proposed to move the second reading of the bill on the 17th April. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed:— Letterkenny and Londonderry and Lough Swilley Rail ways, Barry Harbour, Barry Railway (Alteration), and East Louden Railway (Additional Powers). CONSTRUCTION OF RAILWAYS. Lord REDESDALE called the attention of the house to the fictitious character of the financial arrangements for the construction of railways by almost all new companies and by many already existing, and to the manner in which public interests, and of those of landowners, railway pro prietors generally, and of the holders of railway com panies' mortgages and debenture stocks were thereby affected, and moved that the report of the select committee to whom the Cork and Youghal Railway was referred be printed. He said that noble lords who were acquainted with railway matters must bo aware of the facility with which money had been acquired for the construction of rail ways even at the time of the railway mania, when there was such an unprecedented demand for money. .Originally for these undertakings a subscription contract was required, and a certain amount of money was deposited. That con tract was a substantial one, and was in operation up to the year 1847, but it had ceased at the present time. A certain amount of money, instead of being deposited, was bor rowed, which represented merely the respectability of some persons on whose credit it had been obtained, and being borrowed at a very large interest was an actual encumbrance and loss to companies. In fact a large number of these railways were promoted by contractors and lawyers without any reference to the requirements of the districts which they traversed, or to the interests of the persons who had been induced to take shares. The effect of these lines promoted in the way he described was actually to prevent large companies con structing railways which they would be able to work beneficially to the public and profitably to the share holders. He referred to the evidence obtained before committees on this subject in support of his views, and to show the existing system. Tho extent to which the borrowing powers possessed by the promoters of these companies was carried was a great evil, and necessarily calculated to cause embarrassment, and in many cases utter ruin to the shareholders. So long as these practices were permitted there could be no security in railway stocks. He adverted to the practice of paying dividends out of capital, and said that numerous tricks were resorted to under the present system, and cited some instances of the same with which he hadbecome acquainted. Amongst the other evils the noble lord had pointedout was the great cost in the construction of railways which was necessitated by the present system. It had been said that if any check were imposed upon that system it would also check rail ' way enterprise, and he believed, to a certain extent, that I would be the ease. He contended that when money was so freely expended in mining and other speculations in foreign countries, there was no reason to apprehend that railway schemes would be seriously affected,•provided a wholesome restraint were placed on speculation in their undertakings. Earl RUSSELL, in complimenting Lord Redosdale on the honourable manner in which he discharged his duties as chairman of committees, said that the subject to which he had referred was one that well deserved the considera tion of the house. The Ecclesiastical Commission Bill was road a second time. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE having called atten tion to the state of the law relating to the tenure and im provement of land in Ireland, a short discussion ensued, in which Lord DUPrERIN stated that the Government in tended to bring in a bill in the House of Commons relating to the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, and Earl RUSSELL added that he should have great pleasure in sup porting any measure to settle the relations between land lord and tenant upon equitable principles. On the motion of Earl RUSSELL, their lordships ad journed until Thursday, the 12th of April. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. Mr. DODSON (deputy-Speaker) took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. WHrrmouE took the oaths and his seat for Bridg north, and Sir E. tECHMERE for Tewkesbury. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Dublin Port Acts Amendment, Dublin Port (Docks), Elham Valley Railway, Kidwelly and Burry Port Railway and Burry Port Amalgamation, Leicester Cattle Market, &c., and Rathmbies and Rathgar Improvement. NEW WRITS. A uew writ was ordered to be issued for the election of a member for Ripon, in the place of Lord John Hay, who since his election had accepted the office of a Lord of the Admiralty. A new writ was ordered to issue for Honiton in the room of Mr. Goldsmidt, deceased. NAVAL ORDNANCE. In reply to Mr. WHrrE, The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was quite true that two 15-ton 9-inch Whitworth guns, at the cost of £3,000 per gun, had been so ordered at the re quest of the Lords of the Admiralty. The Secretary of the Admiralty could furnish that information which was not in his (the Marquis of Hartington's) power to give, viz., the name of the vessel in which those guns were to be placed. There would be no further competitive tria ls be tween the Armstrong and Whitworth guns. There would be no objection to the returns the hon. gentleman had asked for. THE IRONCLADS. In reply to Mr. GitAvEs, Lord C. PAGET said the names of the vessels whose ;unnels had boon lengthened were the Royal Oak, the Warrior, and the Black Prince. The addition has boon made in order to try an experiment, which, if successful, the arrangement would remain, and others would be fitted and tried accordingly. BUSINESS OP THE HOUSE. In reply to Mr. B. COCHRANE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said on the 9th, the first day of the house meeting after the recess, they would proceed with the miscellaneous estimates, as usual. After that, on the 12th, they would take the second read ing of the Franchise Bill; and after the second reading of that bill he would bring forward the Budget. Probably that was a bill of fare quite enough to satify the house. HACKNEY CARRIAGE DRIVERS. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any, and if so what, steps were taken to insure the fitness and competency of persons applying for licences as drivers of hackney car riages ? Mr. BARING said the examination for drivers was at present very strict. Persons so applying had to fill up certain forms, which were sent into the police, and if thought satisfactory a licence was granted. Consider ing the enormous number of licences, there might be found an instance where some person obtained a licence who was not properly qualified. THE COINAGE. Mr. WATKIN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if any discussion had taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Government of the United States in reference to the proposal of Mr. Chase to establish an in ternational coinage between England, Franco, and the United States of America ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had made search, and he could find no such paper. Ile did not think the matter, w hatever it was, ever advanced to what might be called an official correspondence. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Mr. DISRAELI asked the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Home Department if ho was aware that the cattle disease had been re-imported from Holland ? 0 Sir G. GREY said the attention of the Government had r been drawn to certain milk cows imported from nolland WINSLOW HALL, Winslow, Bucks, having been recently opened and fitted with requisites for the wire and comfort of the INSANE, the proprietor, Dr. BOISRAGON, announces that he his transferred his Estab lishment from Birmingham to the above desirable residence, easily accessible, and distant from London about an hour and a-halt by the London and North-Western line, and fifty minutes from Oxford.

THE AMENDMENT TO THE REFORM BILL. WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN THE MINISTRY. The CHANCELLOR of the - EXCHEQUER —I have to move that this house, at its rising, adjourn until Monday, the 9th of April, and I think it may be convenient, in making the motion, that I should state, with reference to the course of public business after Easter, the view which the GovernMent take of some important motions which have been placed on the paper, and particularly—l do not mean with regard to argument, but with regard to the at tention of the house—particularly in regard to the motion placed on the paper by my hon. friend the member for Bridgewater (Mr.Kinglake). That motion is in the form of a question to me bearing upon this subject. My hon. friend in his motion asks whether the Government would take into consideration in the Easter recess the expediency of proceeding by resolutions towards the settlement of the question of the representation of the people. I have to say that having introduced a bill for the purpose of dealing with the franchise of England and Wales, our intention is to persevere with that bill, but we do not intend to proceed by way of resolution: (Cheers.) Then, sir, I come next to a motion of which notice has been given, and which will be moved as an amendment upon the second reading of the Reform Bill by my noble friend the member for Chester (Earl Grosvenor). Ido not know whether the noble lord is in his place to-night ; but with respect to that motion I would simply say that I speak of the mover and of the motion in quite different senses. (Laughter.) No one who knows my noble friend can ever speak of him in any other terms than those of respect and regard— (hear, hear) —but motions andmovers are very different things—(laughter) and in speaking of his motion I have to state that it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to resist it. (C 'r They will resist it upon the double ground—first Of all, that it is a motion which, so far as they are enabled to judge, says one thing and means another—(cheers)—and, secondly that it is in their judgment a direct vote of want of con fidence in the existing administration. (Cheers and coun ter cheers.) Then there is another motion upon the paper, with which the name of the hon. member for Bridgewater is associated. The motion of the noble earl is to be moved upon the second reading of the bill, but the other motion refers to what is to be done in the interval between the second reading and the committee upon the bill, and pre sumes the second reading to have the assent of this house. Sir, with respect to that motion the terms of it are : " That it is not expedient to go into committee upon the said bill until this house shall have before it a separate bill for the redistribution of seats." Perhaps I may remind the house of what we have already stated, or rather of what I have already stated with the authority of the Government, and on their behalf, that we consider it a part of the obli gation we have undertaken to deal with the redistribution of seats—(cheers) —and we have given it as our opinion that this question may properly be dealt with by the Par liament which now exists. My noblfriend, in addition to that, asks for specific information upon this point, which wo are not unwilling to give him. After the second read ing of the bill, and before the committee upon it, we shall be prepared to state distinctly to the House of Commons our intentions with regard to the franchise of Scotland, the franchise of Ireland, and all the questions connected with the redistribution of seats. (Cheers.) We wish to convey those intentions in the form which will be most convenient to the house, and we shall therefore put them in the form of bills, and lay these bills upon the table at the same time. (Cheers.) I cannot state too distinctly to the house that we are desirous above all things not to be mis understood; that our intention in laying these bills upon the table is confined at the present time to the purpose which I have named—namely, that of giving information to the house. (Laughter and cheers.) We propose to proceed with the bill relating to the franchise of England and Wales in the manner in which I announced, and with the bill ex clusively, until its fate is determined. (Cheers.) Earl GROSVRNOR said—l confess that the statement made by my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Ex chequer somewhat surprised me ; but I hope I may be al lowed to thank him for the kind manner in which he men tioned my name in connection with the motion. Although I consider myself implicated in that motion, and although I do not desire to separate myself personally from it— (hear, hear)—l believe I speak the feeling and conviction of many hon. members of this house with whom I have the honour of acting, when I state that any bill referring to the representation of the people should be considered as a whole—(hear, hear)—and I would beg to ask the right hon. gentleman whether he still intends to proceed with the second reading of the Franchise Bill before the house shall have an opportunity of seeing whet the other bills are which he proposes to lay upon the table? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Unques tionably. Earl GROSVENOR continued—The principle of a bill is generally considered to be taken on the second reading. I believe that the principle of that bill and the principle of the other bills are so intimately connected that I cannot myself see that it would be possible dr statesmanlike to take the sense of the house—(loud cheers) —on the second reading of the Franchise Bill before the house should have an opportunity of considering all those measures and the whole of the proposals relating to the subject. (Cheers.) Mr. KING L AKE said—The noble lord has just said that the second reading of a bill is the occasion which Parliament provides for the consideration of its principles. But it is precisely for that reason that I proposed emotion carrying to a later period in the existence of a bill the objection to which I have referred. (Hear, hear.) The period when you are considering the principle of a bill is the very last one on which you are entitled to approach it by an objection founded upon external circumstances. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) I entertain quite as strongly as it is possible for the noble lord to entertain an objection to the idea of separating the question of the franchise from the question of redistribution of seats—(hoar, hear),—and I have de termined that I will give effect to that objection, and that I will give effect to it by my vote in this house, but that I will choose my own time for submitting that objection to the house. (Laughter.) It seems to me very clear that the period of the second reading is the very last you can choose for an objection of this kind. (Cries of No," and laughter from 'be Opposition side of the house.) The motion for leave to bring in the bill would have afforded, I think, a better opportunity ; but the most appropriate opportunity of all would bo that in which, after having expressed our opinion on the principle of the measure, we were invited to go into the consideration of its details. I, for one, am in a situation which I believe to be common to that of many gentlemen in this house—l am in the situa tion of having over and over again committed myself to the principle which is to be confirmed by this bill. (Hear.) And am I to follow the noble lord on that account so far as to evade the opportunity of declaring my opinion on the principle of this bill? (Hear.) 1 have only to say that I have taken this mode of giving effect to the view which 1 entertain. I prepare for' myself an opportunity of asserting the principle on which the noble lord has founded his ob jection quite as efficiently as he could do ; but I make that consistent with the opportunity of voting upon the ques tion of the principle of the bill ; and I am not ashamed to say that I am glad to find that I can make my view con sistent with a vote which will not be hostile to the party with which-I profess to act. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. OLIPHAN r—After what has fallen from the Chan cellor of the Exchequer I hope I may be permitted to say a few words with reference to the motion which stands in my name for the 10th April next. That motion is one for the collection of data and statistics which may enable us to determine whether a redistribution of seats and an alteration of boundaries may be necessary. I gave notice of that motion, not for the purpose of embarrassing her Majesty's Government, but from a wish to draw from them a clear and distinct assurance that a bill for the redistri bution of seats is regarded by them as a definite and dis tinct part of a scheme of reform; and I am bound to say that after what has fallen from the right hon. gentleman I am satisfied—(ironical cries of " Hoar, hear")—that the want of time, and the want of time alone, was the only reason why the two bills have not been brought in toge ther ; and as I now find that he is prepared, concurrently with the passage of the Franchise Bill, to collect data and materials on which the other measure could be framed, I do not feel that I am called upon to p ress my motion, any further. (Hear.) I shall, therefore, withdraw the motion to • and, upon the understanding t hat these further he proceeded be collected and that the other measure theis to Franchise Bill. with, I shall give my vo te in favour of p M s t r i . o n D I s Si side Ao f E the Ll h , who oos er,osseaiamidst i t s h eperohjeee rtsh al the t O p t 0 - c hange your line in theh f ac e of an enemy is always a very an dlaugbhytetrh)e—cahndanlcecua6nrnooti sa Pe y r thatperilous ien l op th er i a n t kth —cee e ( co ursreeadopted the Exchequer to-night ascan learn from the statement is any exception much h t e t that esam principle.same of are (Hear, hear.) So far the right hon. gen tleman, wo in posi tion as we were before—(hear, hear)—we are called upon to take a leap in the dark. (Cheers, laughter, and cries of "No.") What is objected to in the amendment of the noble lord who has just addressed the house, as I under stand it, is that the Government, having indulged in vague and general allusions to alarge scheme, or to large schemes, of parliamentary reconstruction, has favoured us with a distinct measure upon only one part of the question—(hear, hear)—and that portion one which in the opinion of the noble lord, and as I believe in the opinion of a majority of the house and of the country, could not properly be dealt with unless we had before us definite information as to the other portions of the subject. (Hear, hear.) Now, the right bon. gentleman does not at all pretend that we are the placed when h an e n y ohtehmeradpeoshitiisonstathzentth. at lv i o n whicharet weroweeeerde With the bill respecting the fr anchise which ° ha p s intro- i•_:wsPAPER L.C-~L~-- , > v"- (laced, and we are to be favoured tj;P" views of the Government upon (Hear, hear.) True it is that .they into the form of bills; but then they are,ls thn are to be proceeded with. (Hear, hear.) Sir, thin tth is trifling with the house. (Loud cheers.) It is obvious that this great question has been introduced to us by men who have not well considered it, who have changed their opinions often during the time it was being prepared for the consideration of the house. There.is evidence of great inconsistency, of great want of judgment, of great waver ing on their parts ; and as always happens, timidity and precipitation are nearly allied. (Cheers.) The right hon. gentleman speaks as if he had solved the great difficulties. But the fact is that he has not touched them ; he hyy only evaded them ; an& the house is left in the sz4ne nebulous state as before with regard to the policy of her Majesty's Ministers. What security have we, if we pass tho franchise bill, that any of those views of the Government which are to be laid before us in the shape of bills will be come law either in this or in an y o th er session? The, con sequence is that the house may he betrayed into the most precipitate decisions upon points connected with a subject which can never be brought to a happy solution, except with a reference to other topics which tho Government will not now deal with, and we are left thus, as . regards this matter, in a state of complete mystificatio, o . (Hear, hear.) If I may presume to offer any advice to h er Majesty's Government—(hear, hear, and laughter)—which probably, with the numerous Cabinet Councils that are now being called, and so hurriedly called, they may not be in want of— (renewed laughter) —I would say this, that a, Government which has to deal with a great question in the House of Commons, and wishes to treat it successfully, should, above all things, treat the house with frankness. (Loud cheers ) Mr. B. STANHOPE called attention to the " Electoral. Statistics" presented to the house, and particularly to the absence of all information respecting copyholders and leaseholders whose property is situate within the limits of parliamentry cities and boroughs, and to the defective character respecting occupiers in counties whose "gross estimated rental is under £50." A discussion followed, in the course of which the re turns laid before the house were criticised by several hon. members in connection with the effect upon various con stituencies of a reduction of the fninchise to £7in boroughs, and to £l4 in counties. Lord 11. MONTAGU, replying # the defence of via, returns sent up by Mr. Villiers on the part of the GOVern ment, spoke of the right hon. gentlemen as the pretended friend of the working classes, and urged the necessity of having the whole scheme of the Government relating to the representation before the house. Sir G. BOWYER reminded the house that another bill besides that for the redistribution of seats was necessary, and that was a boundary bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, guided by the precedent of the Reform Act of 1832, considered that no such preliminary measure was required. In fact, it was a matter of secondary consideration. Seizing then upon the remark which bad fallen from Lord R. Montagu, the right hon. gentleman, in angry tones, retorted upon the noble lord the phrase he had applied to Mr. Villiers as the " pretended friend" of the working classes, and de clared that if working men were introduced into the house they would set him an example both of courtesy and good breeding. lle then taunted the Opposition, and Lord Dello amongst them, with acting as if t'iey were endea svtoeuardinogf t d o e a a s l i c n e g r ta w i n i t h t h t o h n e number o w o f s a a n hi in e e v t a s, d i f n e g l l o a i r v m o y istr i i n a -- p t i 1 " a n t a s , 0 d a f n o d r t t h h e e i i r r goowond conduct,d and blo w o h d o , hwandombortnheeydehstaid tution and almost starvation with a patience which their superiors in the social scale would do well to imitate. Lord CRANI3ORNE said it was of no use to give statis tics at all unless they were perfect. It was all very well to come down and talk about those people being our flesh and blood, and so on, but the fact was that they were not told by the statistics how far the agricultural interest would be swamped by the urban interest, and that in the boroughs and counties they were told but imperfectly how far the middle and upper classes would bo swamped by the work ing classes. He believed that the bill of the Government was, in reality, a proposal to transfer the tax imposing and tax expending power from one portion of the community I to another. After some remarks from Mr. GOSCILEN, Mr. B. HOPE described the outburst of the Chancellor of the Exchequer as mounting the bonnet rouge, and his observations in reply to Lord R. Montagu as rampant non sense, or a direct appeal to the passions of the multitude in favour of universal suffrage. Mr. W. E. FORSTER believed there was no danger whatever of the working classes banding themselves to gether for the accomplishment of any particular object. They were less likely to do so than any other portion of the community. But the way to make them act in that manner was to show them tokens of hostility and suspicion. Mr. FERRAND, in a house of eight members, which was speedily reduced to one (the President of the Board of Trade) called attention to the continued dangerous state of existing public waterworks reservoirs, to the fact that no provision had hitherto been made by Parliament to re tail a future supply of spring water for the inhabitants of the districts from which the watersprings have been taken away, and that the rights of landowners and farmers have been entirely disregarded, and the public health injured by the sources of rivers being withdrawn without suf ficient compensating reservoirs. Mr. GIBSON said the Government had devoted consi derable attention to the subject, and that if the bill relating to it then before the house went into committee, the hen. member would have an opportunity of proposing clauses to give effect to his views. The motion for adjournment until Monday, the 9th of April, was then agreed to, and at a quarter to nine o'clock the house was counted out for the first time during the session. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
