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 a rc h es . 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 aro, for want accommodation, refused admittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will Ico required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is prop,Jsed, 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. _ _ • SUBSCRIPTIONS arc earnestly requestql, and will be gratefully received by the Roy.

Coining round the turn by the river side Dalby and Redcap passed The Clown, and, with Moulsey and Delight, held a clear lead of their opponents to the Grosvenor turn, where no thing else was left in the race. Entering the straight Dalby still held the lead, and, despite Cannon's strenuous efforts to reach him, won easily by four lengths, five lengths between second and third, and two lengths between third and fourth; Honesty was fifth, Delight sixth, Lion seventh, and The Clown eighth.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to wbom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from whiling themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now extending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the mos* sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain. a specialitd r ertaining 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 Is.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide Lancet." The result of the court martial upon Drum-Ma jor Butler, of the 2d (Queen's) Regiment, has been promulgated in the presence of the garrison of Cork. Butler was charged with being a member of the Fenian Society, and with " mutinous conduct in knowing that a rising of the troops in Cork was meditated and not making the same known to the commanding officer." He was pronounced guilty on both charges, and the sentence of penal-servi tude for life was recorded against him ; but the Commander-in-Chief, it is said, advised her Ma jesty to revise this sentence, as the evidence was conflicting in its character. This was done, and he was ordered to be degraded to the ranks. " It is reported, says a correspondent of Saunders, " that when the reversal of the sentence was read, many of the soldiers on parade cheered ; but this I cannot vouch for being accurate, as civilians were excluded from the barrack square during the promulgation. His stripes having been torn from his coat, he was sent back to his regiment. He then applied to his commanding officer for leave to wait on his solici tor, Mr. J. Collins, to thank him for his effective defence, which was readily granted, and he imme diately proceeded to that gentleman's residence, and acknowledged his gratitude in the most grateful terms, instantly returning to barracks. It is acknowledged by the authorities here that the court martial has had a most salutary effect in deterring those who had been forgetful of their allegiance, and protecting others from being made the dupes of designing knaves. It is understood that the lst Royals and 2d Queen's will embark for foreign ser vice in the month of June next." A court-martial sat to-day, in this city, for the trial of gunner John Flood, of the Royal Artillery, on the following charge :—" For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having at Dublin, on or about the 18th of March, 1866, in a parade at Dublin formed to carry out the 'sentence of his dismissal with ignominy, awarded to him by a general court-martial, lifted his cap over his head, and shouted out, 'Three cheers for the Fenian Brotherhood—three cheers for the Irish Republic,' or words to that effect ; and in passing through the barrack gate shouted out,' Three cheers Daily attendance at 15, Whltefriargate, Hull; 10, Norfolk street, Sheffield ; 4, East-parade, Leeds ; 14, St. Nicholas street, Scarbro' ; and 33, Coney-street, Yolk. Established 1830. No connection with any one of the same novae. The race for the Cup has been, since Delight's very easy win in the City and Suburban, looked upon as a cer tainty for either Mr. Carew's horse or Redcap, who, on the strength of a high private trial, came into betting for this event almost at the time of Delight's victory. The latter, after going through a knocking out and a bring ing again at Newmarket last week, has since been kept firm in the betting, though after a demonstration last Fri day on the platform at Cambridge, en route from New market to town, Redcap,who had also fluctuated, took such a decided lead that 3 to 1 could only be obtained about him. From that time till the flag fell the Marquis of Hasting's horse has been supported for very large sums by the influential stable to which he belongs, as well as by the general public, and the eagerness to get on him brought him to his closing price of 7 to 4. The drying wind and sun has made the Roodee very hard, but no material change occurred in the state of the odds, if we except Dalby having at the last the call of the second favourite Delight. Seventeen starters faced Mr.M`George at the post, amid a crowd of people that almost defied the efforts of the constables to clear the course, and after the usual failures the lot got away, the Clown soon taking the lead, witk Buckfoot making running for Dalby, and Redcap and Delight lying well with their horses. Three quarters of a mile from home Dalby went to the front, at tended by Redcap, Delight at the same time running through his horses and taking third place. But the race was over from the moment Dalby assumed the command. Vainly did Redcap make a game effort to reach him, but the last year's winner went in easily four lengths in ad vance of the scarlet and white hoops, amid the great shouting of the ring. There wore several casualties. Baragah broke his leg, we regret to say, the first time round; Saladin pulled his foot off; and Delight, who, if he had won, or even been near it, would have been "the coming horse" for the Derby, broke down. Full details of the running will be found below. HANDICAP of 100 sovs, for 2-yr-olds and upwards. Win ners extra. Three quarters of a mile. 3 sovs entrance. 15 subs.

After two or three failures Queen of Trumps jumped off with the lead, waited upon by Cutaway and Marco Spada, in which order they rounded the Grosvenor turn, where Selim went to the fore, and carried on the running into the straight. Before reaching the distance Marco Spada headed Queen of Trumps, and, stalling off Cutaway's chal lenge opposite the stand, won cleverly by a length. The same between second and third.

The prisoner was formerly tried and convicted on the charge of having written a letter of a seditious cha racter to the Irish People newspaper. The prisoner handed in a protest against the jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that when he spoke the words imputed to him he had ceased to be a soldier within the meaning of the Mutiny Act, " and was not bound thereby so far as the same affects soldiers in her Majesty's service." Evidence having been given in support of the charge, the President asked Flood if he wished to question the witnesses, when be replied—" I respectfully decline to cross-examine them for the reasons I have already given." Capt. Baylay was then examined as to the general character of the prisoner, which he stated to be very bad. The record of the former conviction, for which the prisoner was sentenced to dismissal from the service and two years' imprisonment, was also handed in. The court was then cleared, and the members proceeded with the consideration of the case. The result will not be known for some days. Daniel Darran, the reputed Head Centre for Ballycastle, has been lodged in gaol under the Habeas Corpus Act. As two men were passing along the river at Portadown, this week, they found a leather bag hidden in the grass, containing about 150 newly-made bullets, three bullet-moulds, and a quantity of shot. Henry Griffith and Francis Long were brought up yesterday at Capel-street Police-office, charged with creating a disturbance at Grangegorman church last Sunday. Mr. Murphy appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Crown. Mr. Sidney, Q.C., defended the prisoners. Superintendent Howe, Inspector Armstrong, and the Rev. Mr. Maturic gave evi dence with regard to the conduct of those whe created the disturbance in the church last Sunday, and identified the prisoners as amongst the parties. Mr. Strong°, the presiding magistrate, decided on adjourning the case for a fortnight, trusting, in the mean time, that a better feeling would arise, which would prevent the recurrence of such scenes as those complained of in a house of worship. The shooting case in 'Thomas-street still remains wrapped in mystery. At the head police-office yes terday the two men charged wi th wounding Broph7 so severely were brought up on remand, when 1t was stated by Insp e ctor Kelly th a t Brophy, who is still in hospital and extremely weak, had refused to . _ ,D ~~ ~~~ PR1CE. , .... 4d. STAMPED sd. put to a practical teat by theconstruction of a sea going ship with two turrets, especially as the failure of the vessel as a sea-going ship would not unfit her for use for coast defence. While condemning the single turret system for sea-going ships the commit tee by no means condemn it for floating batteries or harbour defence ships. In conclusion the committee say— give him any information about the occurrence, and even went so far as to call upon the doctor to have him removed. The prisoners were again remanded, and it is said that if Brophy perseveres in his deter mination to baffle justice by withholding from the police the information they believe him capable of giving, he will, on his recovery, be arrested under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. The case of shooting on Saturday night, in which the soldier named Maher was wounded, is equally strange. Some persons will have it that the soldier was decoyed into the public-house to be murdered, and that the wounding of Dowling was accidental, the bullet being intended for Maher. None of the wounds are dangerous, but up to the present time neither of the wounded men has given any informa tion that would throw light on the matter. It would appear from those cases as if there were Fenian l o d ges still existing in the city. Although it has been asserted on authority that the vacant judgeship in the Landed Estates Court will not be filled up, Sir C. O'Loghlen is very gene rally mentioned as Judge Hargreave's probable suc cessor. The Evening Mail says his appointment (c would be unexceptionable, and highly p opular both with the bar and the7publie. ,) A local paper states that Col. the Hon, Luke White would stand a good chance of being elected f or the county o f Cl O'Loghlen be raised to th e b ench.

"As wo cannot find it on record that a turret constructed on Capt. Coles' present principle has ever beon fired at in this country, we think it very desirable that such an expe riment should be mule, and the effect of shot and shell f rom guns of 12 tons or upwards upon the turret and its machinery ascertained, as far as can bo done by experi ment, before incurring the expense of building or fitting a sea-going ship to bo armed on the turret principle." The Last Austrian Despatcher. Subjoined is the text of the despatch addressed by the Vienna Cabinet to Count Karolyi at Berlin, and proposing a simultaneous disarming, as already mentioned : Vienna, AprillB. By order of his Government, Baron do Werther has handed me a note from the Cabinet of Berlin, of the 15th, in reply to a despatch which I had the honour of address ing to you nn the 7th. • The Prussian Government has perceived that the expla nations contained in the despatch of the 7th have set aside after the mutual assurance of the two sovereigns, all ideas of aggression ; that consequently the reasons for military preparations fall of themselves, and that any discussion on the subject of the priority of the alleged armaments be comes- superfluous. Nevertheless, the answer of Count Bismarck continues to argue on that idea. The Emperor of Austria noes not believe that to be the true means of arriving at an understanding so necessary to the situation, and he has ordered me .to submit the subjoined proposi tions to the Government of Sing William. been ions informed h ed l t h h a a ß v t e y t h h t a e h d r e e with bt repeatedhe eeu somean Cabinetlßerlin, direct u partial a v i e tu m ilhas e ica nt t s of troops in Austria, and that some corps had been sent towards her north-west frontier. His Majesty now declares that he is ready to reverse, by an ordinance which should be dated the 25th of April, those changes of troops which the Cabinet of Berlin regards as military preparations directed against Prussia, as well as to take all the mea sures which would be the necessary result of that step, on condition that the Prussian Government will on its side engage to order, on the same or the next day, the reduction to a peace footing of the different corps d'armee which since the 27th ult. have been reinforced By this proposition the Austrian government believes that it is doing all in its power to give a pacific solution to the exchange of explanations which have taken place. Your excellency is begged without delay to express these sentiments to the President of the Council, and to reco mmend, in leaving him a copy of this despatch, to the most serious consideration of the Cabinet of Berlin the t ' p r oposition made above, whic h is a new an d incontestable I proof of the desire of Austria to maintain peace. • Da MENSDORM The Last' Prussian Despatch• The following is the text of the despatch ad dressed by the Prussian Government to Baron von Werther, at Vienna, in reply to the note above given, delivered at Berlin by Count Karolyi on the part of Austria : Berlin, April 21. Your excellency will receive annexed a copy of the de spatch of Count Mensdorff which Count Karolyi read to me, and left in my hands yesterday. The military mea sures ordered by his Majesty the King, as your excellency has been enabled repeatedly to declare to the Imperial Cabinet, had simply the object of restoring that balance in the preparations for war, which, in the opinion of the King's government, had been disturbed by a large number of the troops distributed in the various provinces of the Empire undertaking movements by which the distance they would, in case of war, have to pass over to roach the Prussian frontier was diminished, and in part v er y consi derable. From this reason, which was the sole motive for the Prussian armaments, it necessarily follows that his Majesty; will willingly consent, to discontinue the pre cautionary measures that have been adopted as soon as, and in the extent to which, the Imperial government shall remove the causes by which-they have been called forth. In this sense I empower your excellency, by command of his Majesty the King, to inform the Imperial Minister for Foreign Affairs that the King's Government accepts with satisfaction the proposal contained in Count Mensdorff's despatch of April 18. In accordance therewith, as soon as the King's Government receives authentic information that his Majesty the Emperor has ordered the displacements of troops required by preparation for war against Prussia to Tilq Majesty the King will also upon his side immediately give orders ior tie; 1 LAI vote I portions of the army which have been increa.sed since the I 27th of last month. His Majesty will then have the exe cution of this order carried out in the same degree, and within the same period, in which the corresponding dimi nution of the preparations for war of the Imperial Aus trian army is actually effected. With regard to the degree and the periods within which these latter measures may take place, the King's Government will therefore await further communications from the Austrian Cabinet, so as to be able accordingly to keep equal step in its own disar maments with those .of Austria.. tar l y 'h p e re Ki ra n ra g's tion G s ov c e o rn ni m me en further nce t dbyoth as e s r um G e e s that rma the German Go ili vmern- ments will also be countermandod, and that no further cause for measures of military precaution may be given to it by a continuation of their renewal. The King's Govern ment will express itself in this sense to the various Courts, and expects that the Imperial Government, in the interest of peace, will exercise its influence in a similar direction. Your excellency will be good enough to communicate this despatch to Count von Mensdorff, and, should he desire it, leave with him a copy of the same. (Signed) VON BISMARCK. Launch of the Oxfoid University Lifeboat. Tuesday last was a grand day at Oxford, and the proceedings there will be long remembered both by the university and the town. It will probably bo remembered that a few months since Capt. Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the National Lifeboat Institution, attended by invitation a meeting of many of the leading members of the university, in the hall of Queen's College, and explained to them fully the operations of the institution, enumerating the eminent services it had rendered in saving life from shipwreck, and urging the necessity of an in creased number of boats and an accession of funds, in order to meet the calamities from wrecks at many parts on the coast not at present provided for. The result was that a committee, comprising members of each college, organised a movement for the esta blishment of a university lifeboat, and the appeal met with a response at once so spontaneous and liberal that upwards of £6OO was subscribed, suffi cient to purchase a lifeboat upon the self-righting principle, together with a carriage and all the neces sary equipments. The boat, which had been brought gratuitously to Oxford by the Great Western Rail way Company, was exhibited drawn by four horses, through the principal streets of the city, and rcoast afternoon it was launched from the Berkshcirhe immediately opposite the confluence of the and the Isis. The whole of the coll ege barg of the packed with spectators, as well on°, it is computed river for a considerable distance' and t o g r h e t f o a p o t t eserw_erell that not less than 10,000 per, . were present. complimented the ITni pin-itacceicers wete r g D ye r : l' f The Rev. the Vice-Ch ar an ks c el : few appropriate versity, and p Lightfoot), reinlarly the undergraduates, upon sug _ had shown,. and upon his gestion rounds of c heers Rev.

The life boat was then launched from the carriage with great facility, manned by ten University oarsmen, and after various evolutions had been gone through it was capsized near Folly Bridge in order to exhibit its capabilities, and in about 4 or 5 seconds it self righted, and immediately relieved itself of the water it had taken in. It will be at once take n to aay e, on the Cornish coast, where it will b e stationed and manned by the Lifeboat Institution. THE POST.—The numbe r of letters delivered in the metropolis in 18 64 was 170,191:853, as compared w ith 131,600,322 in 1863 ; in the remainder of England and Wales, 390,128,908, as con:ll:axed with 367,725,163 in 1863 ; in Scotland, 64,261,483, as compared with 61,401,678 in 1863 ; and in Ireland, 54,502,578, as compared with 51,597,455 in 1663. Tile total number of letters delivered in the United Kingdom in 1864 was thus 679,084,822, as compared with 642,324,618 in 1863. In 1864 it was calcu lated that every inhabitant of the British Isles received 23 letters, while in 1863 the corresponding proportion was 22. International Horticultural Exhibition. The preparations for this exhibition are now in a considerably advanced state, and, thanks to the exertions of Mr. J. Gibson, who superintended the work, and the other members of the committee, it is expected that in about a fortnight's time plants will be received. The great tent in which the flowers will be displayed will cover about three acres and three quarters. The framing for this is already erected, and resembles that of a line of double roofed sheds, stretching from Cromwell-road to what now remains standing of the late Exhi bition building of 1862. These sheds are 562 ft. in length, and the two principal ones have a breadth of 45ft. each, the remaining five being 40ft. each in breadth. The building is thus 293 ft. broad alto gether, but the 40ft. on the east side will be divided from the rest by canvas, being specially devoted to the exhibition of orchids. The covering of this part is oiled canvas, and it will have adouble canvas wall outside, and be heated by means of hot-water pipes. At each side of this tent or division will be ranged the orchids, a pathway 20ft. in width being reserved in the centre for the visitors. The central part has been excavated, so that the promenade is in the r centre of a valley, the sides of which are formed of terraces of green turf, on which the plants will be arranged, tastefully relieved by shrubs and ever greens, &c. On the crown of the slopes, or a little beyond them, on each side, walks are also prepared, and beyond these further terraces rise again, so as to give room for a magnificent floral display. The valley will be closed at the end next the Horti cultural Society's gardens, much in the same way as at the sides, with the exception of the walks which will be made through it there. At the end next to Cromwell-road, where the entrance to the exhibition will be, a rock-work has been erected through which a miniature cataract will descend into ponds below, which will contain aquatic plants. Besides +l , l . a vftlilny r jilA rOmaintior of the space will be occupied by successions of nooks of flowers between which the walks will wind about, conducting visitors, at every turn, to some new ob jects of beauty. On looking at the arrangements it strikes one as a pity that some plan was not adopted by which the line of posts in the very centre of the valley might have been dispensed with. Seen as they are, they will be unsightly, and covered with creepers, or hidden by palm or other trees, they wilt completely divide what would otherwise be a most splendid sight in two distinct portions. The prizes to be given away amount to £2,500, and it is gra tifying to learn that the committee have received assurances of. support from numbers of the most celebrated floriculturists, both British and foreign. It is calculated that above 10,000 visitors will be able to move about in the space set apart for them. Turret Ships of War. Yesterday a Parliamentary blue book was pub lished, showing the nature and results of the inves tigations of the Admiralty into Captain Cowper Coke' plan for constructing sea-going turret-ships of war. Rear-Admiral Yelverton, Captain Cald well, Captain J. J. Kennedy, and Captain H. B. Phillimore were selected in April of last year to examine and report upon Captain Coles' plan. In their report they regretted the severe illness of Cap tain Coles, which prevented him from attending the committee and giving explanations in person, and they also regret that he declined to name any per son to represent him. On the sth of June they furnished Captain Coles with a summary of the ob jections raised to his plan, without any expression of opinions as to the weight of those objections. Captain Coles ultimately declined answering the objections indicated to him, or furnishing the in formation previously requested of him. The report then states a series of advantages which the committee considered theturret system possesses. A list of the disadvantages follows, and then comes the general opinion of the committee on the system, as follows : " We fully recognise the great advantages of the revolv ing turret system of armament as applied to floating bat teries, and harbour and coast defence ships, to which they are in a great measure confined, as vessels on the Monitor plan can be built so low as to render it most difficult to hit them, and in which the unlimited training of the turrets would not be interfered with by masts or other ob-struc tions. A floating battery of this description, even with one turret only, would be most formidable, for, if the turret weredisabled, she could haul out of action under protection of her consorts. But in a sea-going cruising ship these great advantages would be materially curtailed, because all sea-going ships of equal speed and tonnage, and carrying the same weights, must be of the same height out of the water to enable them to possess the same good sea-going qualities, and to be equally dry ; and must necessarily have masts and other fittings, which would materially limit the amount of training of the guns. We have heard that ships built on the Monitor system could cross the Atlantic with comparative safety, but such vessels cannot, in our opinion, be ever looked upon as sea-going cruising ships. It is shown in evidence that the French, who, there is little doubt, have carefully weighed the question of arming ships with 'evolving turrets, have not adopted the system, nor even thought it desirable to give it a trial in a sca-going s hip.a Again, it would appear that the Americans, who h ave .s ded considerable experience with turret ships of vsri desirable as sea-going ships.

If more guns than those in the two turrets be considered desirable, the space between the turrets could be profitably turned to account in a ship of sufficient dis placement by connecting the turrets with a battery of guns worked on the central pivot system." The report then refers to a "Amber of minor mat ters in connection with the question, and in conclu sion the committee recommend that the system be T " XF ORD, 6, OXFORD-STREET, W.
