Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pa ss th e nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. Th e p oor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. Tho Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orph ans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhavo 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 I,e 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 rea ll y starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

HANOVER, May 16.—50 much has recently been said about the military roads through this kingdom, to the use of which Prussia is under circumstances entitled, that a short account of the actual relations between the two countries upon this point may not be out of place. The Vienna Congress Act of June 9, 1815, says in article 31— " His Majesty the King of Prussia and his Majesty the King of England and Hanover agree that three military roads shall lead through their respective territories, to wit-1. A road from Halberstadt to Minden through the Hil desheim district ; 2. A road from the Altmark through Gifhorn and Neustadt to Minden ; and 3. A road from Osnabruck to Bentheim through Ibben buren and Rheine—the first two for the benefit of Prussia, the third for the benefit of Hanover. Both Governments will appoint a commission without de lay, which shall draw up the necessary regulations for the aforesaid roads." A treaty for the execution of this last arrangement was concluded between Hanover and Prussia in 1816, which was renewed, with a few alterations, in 1838, and has since then apparently still subsisted. Prussia announced her right to use in time of peace one of the roads con ceded by Hanover (from the Altmark to Minden, through Gifhorn and Celle), retaining that right solely in case of war and the changes in the route of troops rendered necessary thereby. In its stead Prussia was guaranteed the use of a third road from Heligenstadt to Minden through Norten, Einbeck, Alfield, and Coppenbrugge, but it was at the same time agreed that this road should be used but rarely, and only for the march of small bodies of troops, consisting at most of one or two battalions or squad rons. In consequence of the almost general trans port of troops by railway, the military roads are generally used only by cavalry and artillery, but they will again be more frequented by infantry when transport by rail falls off for want of means of con veyance or other reasons. Of recent years Hanover has seldom used the military roads through the Prussian territory for cavalry marches, and Prussia has availed herself of the road through Hildesheim occasionally for small detachments of infantry, mostly only for remounts. Prussia has never received the right of occupying the road through Hanover. The treaties speak only of the marching through of troops, and it is especially stipulated that, if the Prussian troops in traversing the road from Wolfenbuttel to Eschershaufen or Oldendorf require a day's rest, this rest is to be taken at Hildesheim. The troops marching through are bound to go to any quarters properly belonging to the di s t r ict of the halting ltinsta tion that may b e p o i n t e d ou t to them b autho rities, except in the case of their escorting artillery,Quarters ammunition, or other important convoys always be situated close to the military r oad must assigned to such convoys and thuetihroerisccoerstsu. upon pay_ m s quartered upon the inhab itants will receive provi sions in kind by order of the a t according to the r e g ulated scale, b y the officer in command. Prussia is to pay compensation f or and p r ovisioning the tro ops, as well as draught horses and th e services of for the quartering use of l a b ou rers. But as this compensatio n d oes not afford f u ll adequate recompense, the persons upon whom troops are billeted receive further remuneration ac cording to scale from the Treasury. The expenses of this latter kind usually amounted in the first years after 1815, owing to the numerous movements of troops and the high price of provisions, to be tween 12,000 and 14,000 thalers. Subsequently they became lower, and may now generally be es timated at about 2,500 thalera annually.—Reuter's express, Royal Institution. At the meeting of the members of this institution yesterday evening, the Rev. C. Pritchard, President of the Astronomical Society, delivered a lecture on " The TelesCope, its Modern Form, and the Diffi culties of its Construction." He gave a general outline of the history of the telescope, commencing with the discovery in the ruins of Pompeii of a spherical piece of glass which had been used by a jeweller to magnify the figures he engraved. The invention of spectacles followed, after many ages, the use of that first known lens, and they were com mon in the 16th century, but it was not until the beginning of the 17th that two Dutch spectacle makers accidentally discovered that distant objects seemed nearer when viewed through two lenses placed at some distance apart ; and one of those discoverers formed a telescope by placing two such lenses in a tube. Those original telescopes magni fied about three times, and the objects seen through them appeared inverted. It was after seeing one of those rude instruments that Galileo invented a true t telescope by employing a concave lens for an object glass. His first telescope magnified six times, and with his subsequent one, which had a magnifying power of 12, he discovered Jupiter's moons and the crescent form of Venus, from which he inferred that the sun must be in the centre of the solar system, and that the Ptolomaic theory was erroneous and the Copernican system the true one. From the time of Galileo little improvement was made in the principle of the construction for several years, and telescopes were formed of unmanageable lengths and with small diameters, to overcome the difficulty arising from the dispersion of the coloured rays by refrac tion in passing through the object glass. Mr. Prit chard explained at some length the difficulties thus caused, which obstructed any important improve ment •in telescopes until Dolland, in the middle of the last century, succeeded in cor recting, after much thought and labour, the forma tion of coloured images in the focus of the object glass by using a combination of lenses made of glass of different densities and forms. The principle on which this correction was founded was illustrated by models, by diagrams, and by the electric lamp, and it was shown that by the means adopted by Dolland not only were the coloured rays combined to form white light, but the aberration of the rays was cor rected, and they were all concentrated in the focus. The mechanical arrangements by subsequent in ventors to facilitate the use of the telescope, and to keep it always turned to the same object in the heavens, were noticed and commented on, and the instrument in its perfect state—of which one was e o s o n n t t o h t e w h s e hi ub e li h e m ili th e u e s a i n n o d: e nsem tloreauvant exhibited— uewi nsn higtoi nc had ta s a ho u dt a g utbdr g hee e epe s ornr t foee ddafl the puehee eelitidren edireflectionsresearches and reh Mr. telescope.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.— The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex; encrng over greater pat t, of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enioling us to offer even the most, sensi tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite tiertaining only to our prac tice, and for uhich her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. Thos system embi aces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until t uey uccome 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 gs., warranted.

A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at the station, King's-cross ; Colonel Packe, M.P., in the chair. Mr. Oakley, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said they had a long list of bills to consider, but only five or six of them were pro moted by the company. The first bill he had to sub` mit was " A bill to confer additional powers on the Great Northern Railway Company with respect to their undertaking." It authorised the widening of the line near King's-cross, the doubling of the Co penhagen tunnel, and the purchase of lands at various places on the line for additional station accommo dation. The share capital authorised was £BlO,OOO and the power to borrow £270,000. Mr. HUGHES, Dr. JARDINE, and other sharehold ers objected to raising any more capital. A formal resolution approving the bill was car ried. The next bill submitted and approved authorised the company to abandon the construction of a short line of railway and other works at Barnet. A bill for making a railway in the West Riding of Yorkshire, from Bradford, through Ecclestield, to Idle, was approved. The length of line was 31- miles, and would pass through a populous district. The capital was £65,000, and the borrowing powers were £21,600. The next was a bill to transfer the West Riding and Grimsby Railway to the Great Northern and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Companies jointly. Each company would have to raise £200,000 in shares, and,;£66,600 on loan. The bill was approved. A bill for constituting the Great Northern and Midland Railway Companies joint owners of the railway authorised by the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Extension to Liverpool) Act, 1865, was approved. Each company would have to subscribe £250,000 to be raised on shares, and £83,300 on loan. A bill for empowering the three companies to make new lines in connexion with the Extension to Liverpool line was agreed to, each company to sub scribeloa n.i40,000 to be raised o n s h ares, and £13,300 on A bill for empowering the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company to make a cen tral station and railways in Manchester was ap proved ; and also a bill for transferring to the three companies the powers of the Liverpool Central Station Railway Company. A bill for granting to the Great Northern Rail way Company rune-ng powers over a portion of the Newton and Compstall branch railway of the Sheffield Company, and for authorising the said two companies and the Midland Railway Company to execute certain works, and for authorising the Great Northern Thilway. Company and the Midland Railway Coulpara: become joint owners with the NORTHERN OF BUENOS AYRES. The adjourned meeting of this company was held on Thursday at the London Tavern, to fill up vacancies in the board of directors. Mr. Morris said that since the last meeting all the directors had, in order to facilitate the object of the shareholders, offered to place their resignation in their hands. (Hear, hear.) The differences with the late secretary had been arranged, and if the meet ing approved of it a sum of money would be paid to him as compensation, and he would continue to ren der assistance to the company, although his official connexion with it would cease. As to raising the money required for carrying on the company, the only course that suggested itself was to raise it on debentures at about 12i per cent. for three years, to be offered rateably to the shareholders. This was a high rate, but he believed that if the shareholders did not advance the money at that rate they would have to close the concern and wind it up. As to the number of the board, his opinion was that it should be reduced from eight to three. The concern was a small one, and the expenses ought to be in accord ' ance. He proposed that Messrs. Haynes and Smith and Sir John Lees be the directors. They should be empowered to add to their number. He moved that as a resolution, which was seconded by Mr. RIVAZ. After some discussion, in the course of which the importance of settling the question of the grant from the Buenos Ayres Government was urged as a means for facilitating the raising of the required capital, Mr. HARTRIDGE expressed a wish that Messrs. Laurie and Harrison should be elected, but, as they declined to act, the members proposed by Mr. Morris were elected unanimously. A resolution put at the last meeting, objecting to Dr. Cullen, in consequence of his connection with the Financial Corporation Company, was unani mously rescinded, and the proceedings terminated. INDIAN BRANCH. The ordinary general meeting of the company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; the Marquis of Tweeddale in the chair. Major-General C. C. JOHNSTONE, the managing director, read the report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his satisfaction at the present state of the company. There had been great diffi culties to contend with in respect to the Nulhatee line, and it still remained a source of anxiety to the Board ; but, no doubt, that would be removed when more rolling stock was placed on the line. It was expected that the line from Lucknow to Cawnpore would be opened during the present year for traffic. Mr. W. DENT seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. Mr. G. SHEWARD thought the report was not satisfactory, and was of opinion that there should be a committee of the shareholders to consult with the Board as to the future management of the company. Several shareholders expressed their satisfaction at the position of affairs as explained by the chair man, and the motion for the adoption of the report was put and carried unanimously. Upon the question of the re-election of Messrs. Dent, Pender, and Tobin, the retiring directors, a long discussion ensued, it being suggested by Mr. Sheward that it was not necessary to refill the three vacancies. The three retiring directors were re elected unanimously. Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Young were re elected as auditors. Mr. Maxwell was appointed to act with that firm on behalf of the shareholders, and the proceedings terminated. RAILWAY BILLS.
