STAMPED sd. with a pierced stone parapet, leads to the visitors' gallery. The dining-room, at one end of which this gallery is situated, is a really beentiful room, 701 t. long by 30 wide, and is entered by folding doors opposite the principal entrance. It has an open tiuiber roof of high elevation, and at the end facing the visitors' gallery is a large terraced window of five lights, with two-light windows in the bays of the sides. Inscribed in these are the names of the trustees of the institution and others whose exertions have brought the establishment to its present state of efficiency and development. This hall commu nicates with the kitchen by a door and hatch. The right wing is appropriated for the use of the girls ; the left for the boys. In each case the ground floor is occupied by school and class rooms and the stories above by dormitories. The two-storey build ing between the centre and wings contains the apartments of the secretary, matron, assistant-mas ter, and assistant matron, with waiting and other rooms on the ground floor. The master's house is situated on the extreme left, and, though communi cating with the boys' school, is a detached building in every respect. The rooms of the other supervising authorities being opposite a transverse corridor lead ing to the kitchens,, laundries, &c., the arrangement of the plan affords every facility for the effectual superintendence of the several departments by their respective Iteacifi.:.,3 l2 4 l .tf . 4l,l2ll„ t iVin gs f orm. two sides of the quadrangle Which constitutes the echliCe, having the dining-hall and the girls' wing on the other two sides, the space thus enclosed being occu pied by a large swimming bath with a glass roof. The whole building is heated by steam pipes in con nection with the boiler of a pumping engine on the basement floor. Hot and cold baths on each floor for the use of beenthe respective dor m ito r ies and lavatories arranged with every regard to cleanliness and con venience. The building stands in the centre of 20 acres of fertile land, part of which has been laid out for playground, while covered playsheds have been erected for both schools, to provide against exigen cies of weather. In fact, the whole structure, both ' in the style of its design and the excellent manner in which it has been finished, seems as perfect as such institutions ever can be made by thoughtful experience. After making the complete round of every part of the building, his Royal Highness was at last con ducted to the great tent, where he was received with an almost uproarious enthusiasm, and it was some minutes before the cheering died away and allowed a choir of ladies and gentlemen, accompanied by the Grenadier band, to proceed with theNationiatsl Anthem. This was beautif u lly sung, and at conclusion Lord Russell advanced and read the fol lowing address :—" May it please your Royal High ness,—We, the President, Trustees, and Governors of the Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools, with the greatest respect acknowledge the condescension of your Royal Highness in consenting to inaugurate this building, the foundation; stone of which was laid by your Royal Highness on the 11th of July, 1863. With feelings of thankfulness and reverence, we invoke the continued blessing of Almighty God, who has so prospered the efforts which have been made by the supporters of the institution, and we fervently pray that the building which is to-day ' solemnly dedicated to the cause of charity may be handed down from generation to generation as a home for the orphans of warehousemen and clerks ' engaged in the wholesale trades and manufactures of the United Kingdom, and that within these walls the children may receive those advantages of reli gious and secular education which will render them useful members of society. The schools, which were established in 1853, have been conducted until now in three separate houses at New-cross, under many difficulties. At present 102 children are enjoying the advantages of the institution, but space has now been provided for the accommodation of 200-140 boys and GO girls. Under the conviction that what is worth doing is worth doing well, great care has been taken to provide everything which an enlightened benevolence could suggest for the health and com fort of the children ; and we are assembled this day to celebrate the opening of a building which we firmly believe to be second to no other of its class in the country. The total cost, including the site, consisting of 20 acres of land, and the fittings and furniture, will amount to £28,000, of which sum £21,000 has been already subscribed for this special object, and it is hoped that the remaining £7,000 may be raised on this important occasion, and that thus the building may be handed over to the trustees finished and in all respects completely ready for im mediate occupation, free of debt. In conclusion, we again tender to your Royal Highness our heart felt thanks for your presence at to-day's cere monial, which affords a fresh proof of the kindly interest evinced by the members of the royal family in all philanthropic endeavours to ameliorate the social condition and advance the welfare of the people of these realms." His Royal Highness then, in a clear, distinct voice, every tone of which was audible throughout the large tent, replied briefly as follows :—MyLords and Gentlemen,—lt is a sincere pleasure to me so see the work which we commenced in July, 1863, brought to a happy conclusion. Such a consummation, when we reflect on the numerous classes of the great com mercial community of our country whose interests it promotes, cannot but be gratifying to every one present, and will induce us all gratefully to invoke the Divine blessing on the ultimate success of this undertaking. The attention that has been paid to the details of the building, and to the comforts and wellbeing of the children it is destined to shelter, I may say, without presumption, merits this success. And if, as you have stated, " that which is worth doing at all is worth doing well," be a truth requir ing any corroboration, I have only to point to this structure for the most unanswerable argument in its support. It only remains for me to thank you, my lords and gentlemen, for the kind expressions you have used with reference to the part I have taken in this day's proceedings. (Great cheering.) Prayers were then offered up by the Bishop of Winchester, and a hymn having been sung, the ladies, who had been busy collecting for this occa sion during the last 12 months, came forward to present their purses. Fortunately for financialthe interests of the charity this cer emony a occupied considerable time, and the accumulated heap of offer ings grew as high in front of the Prince as the day on which he laid the foundation stone. Altogether upwards of 1,000 purses were presented, so that the Prince had 1,000 gracious bows and smiles to make as the several ladies came forward with their charit able offerings, and when the last retired there was more than £5,000 in coin and subscriptions laid be fore his royal highness. Prayers were then again offered up; and the Prince having declared the build ing to be open to receive, for all time, the orpha n s and necessitous children of warehousemen and clerks engaged. in the wholesale trades and manufactures of the United Kingdom, the proceedings closed amid the most enthusiastic cheering. and His c e - the v ß it o ed ya g l u t e l s i ts gh w ne e s r s e tehnetnerttoatedhi a s t de a p m art os u t re e , x lent dejeuner, over which the Lord Mayor presided.

GLENFIELD PATENT STARCH, Used in the Royal Laundry, AND AWARDED THE PRIZE AIEDA.L. 1862. Sold by all Grocers, Chandlers, &c. Am tons per 24 hours; to spare fuel she was not driven, and was even run at a slow rate sometimes. Her average, therefore, was about seven knots an hour. Her maximum speed would b 3 about nine. She has brought with her 40 tons of her stores, and has lightened by about ten inches of her draught. There appears no reason to suppose that she is not a fairly comfortable ship for sailors, notwith standing her submersion. No less than six donkey engines are kept at work while ..at sea, which by means of blowers draw air from the great ventilat ing shaft and distribute it through all parts of the ship. In harbour two of these were so engaged, and kept the atmosphere tolerably cool, though there was at the time a crowd of visitors on board, which was to dense as to test there utility severely. The reports of the discomfort caused to the men on board the Monit3rs while in action from the vibra tion.of the metal when struck by shot appears to have been a great deal exaggerated. Those of the sailors who had experience of the contests with the forts of Charleston complained of nothing but the loud noise, but they say that if by chance a man's head happened to be against the metal at the time it was struck, a stunning concussion, if not death, was the result. The turrets had not been pierced. A 200-pounder round shot striking one of them used leaves a dint in shape pretty inue,l4ce the concave of a .saucer. The - Miantonomoh proceeds at the end of this week or the beginning of next to Portsmouth, her ultimate destination being Russia. She is to be ac ' eompanied by the Augusta, which acts the part of parent to the fledgling now trying its first flight across the broad waters. The Ashuelot is bound for China. This last vessel is one of a class built for service in the southern rivers. Though a sloop of ten guns she draws but Bft. of water. To obviate the necessity of turning she was constructed to steer at both ends, but in view of her present long voyage this arrangement has been altered, and she steers from only one point. Her rudder is upon a pin, running through the centre, and the steerage power this gives is said to be extraordinary. She obeys her helm with such. rapidity as to puzzle pilots who are unprepared for it. When leaving St. John's, the pilot in charge, in consequence of his ignorance of this peculiarity, ran into a brig, which was cut down to the water's edge, and sunk in three minutes. The crew, fortunately, were saved by jumping on board the Ashuelot. This vessel and the A ugusta are both markedby the American pecu liarity of carrying a heavy armament in proportion to size. The Augusta, which was a Californian mail steamer of about 1,500 tons, purchased by the United States Government during the late war, car ries four Dahlgren 100-pounders, three Parrot rifled guns, one of them throwing shot of 12511 x, and three brass howitzers. The officers of the vessels are not merely cour teous to visitors, but seem anxious to have their ships inspected. Those accustomed to the fondness of a sailor for his own ship, whatever she may be, cannot help being struck with the manner in which all on board her consorts appear to think and take pride only in the Monitor. It may possibly be a result of the rapid changes which the war caused, often leaving a man little time to become acquainted with the craft with which his destiny was identified; but it appears more as if the strange ness and formidable nature of the ship were a sort of American property, and that she was accepted as a type of national power. 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 , 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 specialite 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 extrac 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 gs., warranted.

QUEENSTOWN, Sunday. Last evening there steamed into the harbour three American men-of-war, which were received with the ordinary courtesies. They consist of the Augusta, Commander Murray, the Ashuelot, Com mander Fabarger, both paddle steamers, of 10 guns and the Monitor Miantonomoh. The last, of course, has concentrated upon her all the interest and curiosity of the public. There are at present lying in our harbour two of the finest specimens of the British armoured fleet, the Black Prince and theram Achilles. Both these differ in very material respects from ordinary vessels, but the variation is not very palpable in their outward form. The stranger from , across the Atlantic is like nothing that has been hitherto familiar in these waters. She is not only destitute of spars and rigging, but her hull at a little distance seems so low as barely to mark a line upon the water. With her broad flat base and her con fused superstructure of turrets, funnel, and hurri cane deck, she might very well pass for a novel de scription of dredging machias. Ths4Aull of the vessel, however, is not, as is popularly supposed, submerged. About 3i feet now rise above the water, but when her size is taken into account this height appears very insignificant. Her construction is not very complex. She is 268 ft. long by 59ft. broad, of 1,500 tons burden. The shell of the vessel is for the most part an oblong box, fined away at the stern, and yet more sharply at the bow, but having in her main length a bottom as flat as the sides and top. Out of the top of this box, or the deck (which is without bulwarks), rise two turrets, and between those a funnel for smoke and a shorter one for ventilation. A latticed platform also passes between them, sup ported upon pillars, on which when the ship is at sea all the nautical duties are performed. Above the turrets are iron shot-proof wheel-houses, in which the captain, pilot, and helmsmen are protected when the ship is in action. The deck is perfectly flat and of great strength, having exclusively of the beams 12in. of thickness, the lower layer being 6in. of timber, above which are 3in. of iron, and over all 3in. of timber again. The combings of the hatch ways are of stout iron and 2ft. high, with weather boards of nearly a foot, some inclined outwards. These are battened down water-tight when out of harbour. The sea is then free to wash over the deck without in the least degree affecting the comfort of those on board or at work, the communication be tween the platform and the lower part of the ship being maintained through the turrets. Though an armoured vessel, the Monitor is not made of iron. Her framing is of timber of great stoutness. Below it is 3ft. thick, and sheathed with copper, while from about 3ft. or 4ft. beneath the water-line up to the deck her sides are of timber 7ft. thick, outside of which is an iron-plating of 7in. depth. The upper portion of the sides, therefore, project about 4i ft below the lower part. The junc tion between the iron and the copper is prevented by a heavy timber moulding, but even that, it is said, has not been found sufficient to prevent injury to the iron by galvanic action. Her floor is quite flat, and in addition to her central keel she has at each angle below a sort of keel or bilge log, against which is borne the weight of the stays that help to support the turrets. The turrets themselves are roughly finished cylinders rather more than Bft. high, com posed of iron llin. thick, and within are 23ft. in diameter. Their weight is principally borne by a stout iron spindle. Each has two Dahlgren guns. The gun and the carriage is of the enormous weight of 42,0001 b. ; it is smooth bore, and throws a sphe rical shot of 4801 b., or a 15-inch shell weighing about 3601 b., with a bursting charge of 161 b. of powder. The ordinary charge for round shot is 351 b., but as high as 601 b. might be used. The shot is stated to be effective at a mile and three-quarters distance. As the turrets revolve by a si m pl e con trivance available from within, there is b u t one por t for each gun.

The Miantonomoh is a new ship, having been only completed last autumn, and her present voyage is to be regarded as mainly designed to test her seagoing qualities. By e hither from New y t a h op o re s kr e f, o e ch n ta b vsu o i n ar egc d essea t . h u e e ds t h r ae i tahluasaaplpcifoeama: and at St. John's, Newfoundland ; and from the last port she has made the voyage in ten days ten hours. Cross ing the Bay of Fundy, she encountered weather which, without amounting to a gale, was considered very boisterous, but she rode through it easily. On the voyage to Queenstown the indicater marked no greater rolling than 7 deg., while 2 deg. is stated to be the average. Her paddlewheel consorts on the other hand, rolled to a maximum of 18 deg. and 24 deg. respectively. The speed she attained was re spectable, and, considering her build, ra th er sur prising. a When having leaving o n board St. 350 tons of coal in John's she drew 15ft. 0 her bunkers, 30 tons in a crib on deck, and a b ou t 20 lin . wt tons in bags in the turrets. With this quantity o n board economy was considered necessary. Her motive power consists of four engine s , driving twin screws, which are brass, four-bladed, of 12ft. diameter, of a graduated pitch, with a mean of 18. At full speed her consumption of coal would be 40 Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales formally opened this large range of charitable schools, which have been erected at much expthise l in the neighbourhood of the Caterham Junction, near Croydon, and the first stone of which was laid by the Prince on July 11, 18G3. The design of the institution is to clothe, maintain, and educate the children of warehousemen, clerks, and agents of every wholesale trade who have been engaged in warehouses or manufactories in any part of the United Kingdom, without distinction of sex or reli gion. The building was completed in March last, and the children, 200 in number (140 boys and GO girls), who had previously been lodged in temporary houses near Forest-hill, were then moved into it. It was not found possible, however, to formally in augurate the opening of the asylum till yesterday, when his royal highness, on being applied to, at once consented to preside at its inauguration. The royal visit, of course, created no little excitement in the neighbourhood, and every preparation in the way of marquees, flags, garlands, and evergreens was made to do honour to the occasion. Two im mense tents were erected and beautifully decorated —the first, in which the simple ceremony of the in auguration was to be held, was capable of accom modating 1,000 spectators, and it was full yester day ; the second tent was laid out with a sumptu ouseqapup:lilnytedcrtoiwmdeeda.rrivTehde fowreaitthser,disucnufssoriotunn, dejeuner for GOO guests, and that also, when the asatwelays, is frequently th e case in England, was not quite favourable to any out-door festivi ties. In fact, throughout the day the only intermis sions between the cutting rain were those which were effected by a high, cold wind, and everything and everybody, therefore, was more or less damped and depressed by the cheerless atmospheric in fluences around. Still these had no manner of effect on the numbers who attended. The large tent was thronged long before the Prince was expected, and as almost all the ladies present had collected purses to present to his Royal Highness in aid of the funds of the charity, it may be doubted whe ther any amount . of rain short of a second deluge would have kept them back. The Prince of Wales arrived shortly before two o'clock. With his Royal Highness also came Lord Russell, president of the charity, Lady Russell, General Kuollys, Colonel Keppel, and Major Grey. The Prince was received by the Bishop of Win chester, who wore his episcopal robes and blue riband as prelate of the Order of the Garter, by the Lord Mayor, the High Sheriff of Surrey, the mem bers of the board of management, the building com mittee, trustees and the treasurer of the institution, Mr. William Leaf, and the treasurer of the building fund, Mr. Greatorex. His Royal Highness did not enter the great tent reserved for what may be called the public visitors, but passed at once into the main building, where in the committee-room he partook of lunch with some of the members of his suite and Lord and Lady Russell, the Bishop of Winchester, and the Lord Mayor. The Prince then requested that he might be shown over the new building. Mr. H. White, the secretary, and Mr. Bland, the architect, therefore, at once conducted him through every room and corridor of the fine edifice. Not a part of it, from its basement kitchens to its topmost dormitories, was passed over. Lifts, storerooms, offices, and even cellars, were all examined, and with the arrangements of each and all his Royal Highness expressed his entire approbation. These new schools have been erected on a lofty emi nence called Russell-hill, near the Caterham Junction, and one of the most picturesque and healthy sites in Surrey. They present a frontage of 280 ft. The outline is much varied with high pitched roofs, dor mers, and turrets, and the general effect is striking and elegant. The materials are red bricks, with blue and white brick strings, ornamentally disposed, and dressing of Bath stone. The roofs are covered with blue and green slates in patterns. The front comprises a central building four stories in height, with a lofty hipped roof, surmounted by a clock turret. Buildings on either side, of two stories, serve to connect the centre with the wings, which are of three stories. The principal entrance is in the centre, through a deep-mould and carved arch way with shafted jambs, to a hall divided by arches, interior faces on polished granite columns. The faces of the walls of the hall are furnished with red andwhite bricks inpatterns, and a staircase of stone, C------HOCOLATE.-ILENIER'S FRENCH. CHOCOLAT-M_ENIER, for Breakfast.

PROVIDENCE ROW S NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. 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 arche s . At present nearly 5 00 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 IPe 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 tamilies 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.

" 4 1 7 L A : • S r'-7,w Withdrawal of Prussia frim O'arint' Confederation, *ee , • - FRANKFOR The following is the text of the declitiony the Prussian representative at the Federal Diet, after the adoption of the Austrian motion for the mobilisation of the Federal army : "Notwithstanding that the envoy had protested in the name of his Government against all discus sion of the Austrian motion, the Federal Assembly has nevertheless proceeded to vote its adoption. The envoy has now to fulfil the serious duty of acquainting the Diet with the resolution his Go vernwent, after this vote, considers incumbent upon it in support of the rights and interests of the Prus sian monarchy and its position in G ermany. " It is the firm e3nviction of the King's Govern ment that the act of introducing the motion brought in by the Austrian Government is of itself indubi tably and plainly opposed to the Federal Constitu tion, and must therefore he, considered by Prussia as a breach of the Confederation. Federal law r a e c g k a n r o d w t l o e d in g L‘ e s m b o e n r l s y o o f n t e i e process e d e e r f a e ia x o e n c , u t f i o o r n w l h Ai c t i l settled for ms an d con di t i ons are prescr ib e d. The -i setting in motion of a Federal army against a mem ber of the Confederation is as foreign to the Fede ral Constitution as every interference of the Diet against a Federal Government is opposed to the rules of the execution procedure. Thrtasition of Austria in Holstein is in especial not placed under the protection of the Federal treaties, and his Ma jesty the Emperor of Austria cannot be considered as the member of the Diet for the Duchy of Holstein: For these reasons the King's Go vernment has refrained from in any way en tering upon the actual discussion of the motion, although it would have been easy to repel the reproach of a breach of the peace directed against Prussia, and to cast it back upon Austria. The King's Cabinet has rather considered that the only legal and admissible procedure was for the Diet to reject the motion from the first on account of its illegal character. Looking to the Federal ties which have hitherto existed, the King's Government can only most deeply regret that this formal demand on its part has not been complied with by its Federal allies. "For three months the most powerful member of the Confederation has been arming against Prussia for the purpose of self redress, in contravention of the Federal constitution ; and this circumstance has deeply shaken the confidence of Prussia in the pro tection the Confederation has guaranteed to each of its members. " The appeals of the King's Government to the efficiency of the Confederation and its members for the protection of Prussia against arbitrary attack from Austria having only resulted in armaments of other Federal Governments, without explanation as to their object, the King's Government could not but regard its safety at home and abroad—which, according to Art. 2 of the Federal Pact, is the main object of the Confederation—as already in the highest degree endangered. The illegal motion of Austria, and its no doubt pre-arranged adoption by a portion of the Confederate States, has only con firmed and strengthened this view of the King's Government. " The King's Cabinet considers the breach of the Confederation as complete by the declaration of war—impossible according to Federal law against a member of the Confederation-:--which has resulted from the motion of Austria and the votes of those Governments which have associated themselves therewith. In the name and by the order of his Majesty the King, his Most gracious master, the envoy, therefore, hereby declares that Prussia con siders the hitherto existing Federal treaty as broken, and therefore no longer binding, but will, on - the contrary, regard it and treat it as extinct. " His Majesty the King will not, however, look upon the national basis on which the Confederation has been founded as destroyed by the fact of that extinction. Prussia, upon the contrary, adheres to these foundations and to the unity of the German nation as superior to transitory forms, and regards iLas an indispensable duty of the German States to give this latter suitable expression. The King's Government therefore, on its part, submits the out lines of a new union corresponding to the require ments of the time, and declares itself ready to con clude a ne NV dompact on the old foundations, modified by such a reform, with those German Governments which will join with it for that purpose. The envoy fulfils the orders of his Government by declaring his functions here at an end. " The envoy has lastly, in the name and by order of his Government, to reserve and maintain all its rights of every kind arising out of the hitherto ex isting relations of the Confederation and otherwise to the property and appurtenances of the Bund. He is particularly directed to enter a protest against any application or disposition of Federal moneys already voted being made without the special con sent of his Government." The Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. The 27th annual meeting of this benevolent so ciety was held yesterday at the United Service In stitution ; Admiral the Earl of Shrewsbury and ' Talbot presided. The objects of the society are to board, lodge, clothe, and forward to their homes or ' to their nearest consuls, if foreigners, all wrecked sailors, soldiers, or other poor persons of all nations cast destitute upon the coast ; to assist seamen and others, subscribers to the society, to replace their losses by storm or other accident of the sea, and to relieve their widows (after their own decease), or phans, and aged parents ; and to give medals and other rewards for endeavours to save life from ship wreck. The report, read by the secretary, stated that the terrible storms of the past winter, with ,traon c vd o h n es s se eci es vaesureatnlhceotl—hosemsr afiodnfeethmveeosLrseeolssntdroiokini,necigwuibtayhi such r souls, o a a u w t ha s ful size, in addition to the fearful disaster at Torbay, where eight vessels went down at their anchors with all their crews, and where 50 others were driven on the beach and numbers Of men perished--had stirred up the hearts of the benevolent to aid the society in their Christian labour. Her Majesty, besides her donation of 100 guineas, had added an annual sub scription of £25 ; the Princess of Wales had ex pressed her sympathy by a donation of £5O ; and a large number of additional donations had been re ceived, so that, notwithstanding the heavy demands on the resources of the society, the need had been met without trenching on its small invested pro perty.

The chair man regarded the report as being highly satisfac tory, but said h.e could not help expressing his re gret at the very thin attendance of members on that is occasion. In a grea t maritime country like hth whose commercial relations extended t hroughout the g uut the w or ld , an d to w h ose mercantile mar i ne, there fore, it was obvious an increasing number of •acci dents, as its population increased, must happen, such a society was a nec essity, and required a pro portionate development. in No charity the coun try was more entitle d to the support of the public, in conjunction with the National Lifeboat Institu tion, which had pretty nearly the same objects in view.
