J. tne ChiH Constructor of the Navy, a gold snuffbox, which the Sultan had sent for presenta tion to him. The presentation was made with the sanction of the Admiralty, and was accompanied by cordial expressions of the Sultan's high appreciation of the services rendered by Mr. Reed in designing the large ironclad frigate Fatikh for the Ottoman Government, which the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company are now building under his supervision. The snuffbox is studded with no less than 250 dia monds, many of large size, in the centre of which is the name of his Majesty in gold, upon a raised pur ple enamelled ground, emblazoned with stars com posed of brilliants, and encircled with a close-set ring of diamonds. The vessel referred to was•ori ginally intended to be named the Turkestan, but her designation has now been changed by the Sul tan to that of Fatikh, which means Conqueror. Preparations are being made at Chatham Dock yard for the commencement of the new turret-ship, as well as the ironclad frigate Hercules, both of which are to be laid down as soon as the ironclad frigates Lord Warden and Bellerophon are suffi ciently forward in their completion to allow of their being undocked. The Bellerophon, 14, 1,000 horse power, iron clad frigate, in No. 3 dock at Chatham, had her four-bladed screw unshipped yesterday in order to be fitted with a two-bladed Griffiths propeller of large size, and set at a finer pitch than her former screw. The work *of fixing the new blades was un dertaken yesterday, and will be completed to-day. The frigate will be shortly tried with the new screw, with which there is little doubt she will realise a much higher rate of speed than she did with her four-bladed propeller, the Bellerophon's engines be ing designed to drive a two-bladed screw only at 70 revolutions per minute, while the four-bladed screw could not be kept at 60 revolutions per minute. The Minotaur, iron frigate, Capt. F. A. Herbert, embarked Captain A. C. Key, C. 8., and staff at Spithead early yesterday morning, and made a second trip into the Channel, south of the Isle of Wight, to make trial of the 12i-ton gun and car riages she has on board. The water was found much too smooth, as on the previous day, for the great ship to attain the desired motion. She an chored again at Spithead in the course of the after noon. N 2. 22,961.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR 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 arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and hav e to spend night aft er n i g ht it :the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

" Sir _The Lords Commissioners of her-Ma jesty's Treasury have had before them your letter of yesterday's date, enclosing one from Sir J. K. Shut tleworth, forwarding a memorandum as to a scheme of national insurance against losses from the cattle plague, and their lordships desire me to acquaint you, for the information of Secretary Sir G-. Grey, that they conceive that the inquiry addressed to them officially refers to the second part of Sir J. K. Shuttleworth's proposal, and that it would perhaps be going beyond their province were they to give an opinion on the question as to whether the liability for losses by cattle plague ought to be extended to the whole farming lands of the country, or placed on any other than a voluntary basis ; but their lord ships do not hesitate to say that in cases where any machinery which may have the approval of her Ma jesty's Government shall have been put in action for ascertaining, checking, an d comp ensating, in whole or in past, such losses, and where it shall ap pear that the amount of such losses is too great to be reasonably expected to be at once discharged, they are of opinion that public funds might properly be made available by way of loan (in default of any other means of meeting the emergency) upon ade quate security, with a view of spreading the charge over a longer or shorter term of years.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Published by J.

" Sir,--I have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter dated the 16th inst., conveying to me the opinion of her Majesty's Government on my proposals with respect to an Act of Parliament and a loan, to enable agriculturists to aid each other in sustaining the burden of losses from the cattle plague, by diffusing those losses over all insurers, and over a series of years. " I should not trouble you with any remark did I not think it probable, from one passage in the letter from the Secretary to the Treasury (' or placed on any other than a voluntary basis'), that their Lordships had, from an omission in my letter to Sir George Grey, conceived that I had proposed a com pulsory distribution of the average loss from the cattle plague over the farming lands of England. " In my letter to Sir George Grey I ought to have inserted the limitation, carefully provided in the scheme of nationsl insurance which I submitted— viz., that this charge was intended to be distributed only over the farming lands of owners who con sented to the insurance of their own or their tenant's • stock, and in proportion to the number of stock so insured. The initiation of this insurance was to be a voluntary act, done with the consent of the owner of the land, and in no degree compulsory. The stock-breeding districts, like Aberdeenshire, Craven, Westmoreland, and the dales of the Pennine Chain, might easily avoid the purchase of any store stock, isolate themselves, and decline to insure on thepre sumption that their risk would continue to be below the average rate, as the mortality- in their herds now is. Nor need such voluntary national insurance in terfere with any existing association, which may have obtained sufficient confidence among farmers to maintain an independent existence. But I should be much astonished, considering the gravity and un certainty of the risk, and the general want of con fidence in such associations, if any one of them should prove to be su established that it would be unwilling to merge itself in a well-ordered national scheme. In default of payment of the respective instalments all previous payments will be liable to forfeiture. Scrip Certificates to bearer will be exchanged against allotment letters as soon as possible.

Sm,—As Parliament will assemble in little more than a fortnight I request the publication of the annexed correspondence in your columns, in order that the offer of her Majesty's Government may in the interval receive due consideration. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH. 38, Glocester-square, Hyde-park, W., Jan. 17. " 38, Glocester-square, Hyde-park, W., Jan. 6. " Sir,--I beg to submit to you, for your considera tion and that of her Majesty's Government, the en closed memoranda as to a scheme of national insur ance against losses from the cattle plague, which the rapid increase of the ravages of this pest appears to me to render expedient. "In the sketch of the details of a bill which I submit the Government is asked to do no other thing than to diffuse the burden of losses from the cattle plague over the farming lands of the whole of England, without taxing any other property, or making any compensation from the public taxes or incurring any subsidiary risk, and likewise to diffuse this burden over a series of years. "The principle on which the first part of the scheme rests is that of a national insurance, whereby the risk is transferred from a limited area to the whole of England, and is thus equalised, being greatly mitigated in counties in which it would otherwise be an intolerable burden. " The principle on which a loan is proposed is the same as that on which loans are granted for great municipal and other public works of permanent ad vantage. It is proposed to spread the loss arising from a great national calamity over a series of years, in the same way that the charge of some vast outlay for waterworks, or the arterial drainage of a city is diffused, lest it should bo an insupportable burden to the ratepayers who sanctioned the expenditure. This principle was applied to the relief of the cotton districts during the recent American War, with great benefit, in giving a stimulus to the outlay of capital and the employment of labour. This inter ference of the Government is gratefully remembered by all classes in Lancashire. " The measure is submitted in consequence of a growing conviction of the inadequacy of all private efforts within a limited area to provide by a system of mutual assurance against extensive ruin among farmers, and a consequent grievous public embar rassment.—l am, &c., J " J. P. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH. " The Right Hon. Sir G. Grey." " Whitehall, Jan. 16. " Sir,--I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to inform you that, having referred your letter of the 6th inst. and its enclosure, as to a scheme of national insurances against losses from cattle plague for the consideration of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, he has received in reply the letter of which a copy is enclosed. " With reference to the first part of your proposal —namely, that the burden of the loss incurred by the cattle plague should be diffused over the whole of England, her Majesty's Government are of opinion that even were this expedient very serious practical difficulties would be found in attempting to give effect -to the proposal ; nor if the attempt were made is there any sufficient reason why the scheme should be limited to England, and not include other parts of the United Kingdom. " The Government could not properly undertake to superintend or control the machinery which would be required for the management of a National In surance Association. . They think, moreover, that the necessary result of such a scheme would be an injurious interference with country and other local associations, which are far better adapted than a national association to insure vigilance and efficiency in the administration of the funds applicable to the purpose of such association, combined with a stronger interest in the adoption of the most effectual means for checking the disease. Her Majesty's Govern "It was not until many counties had declared that their efforts to found associations for mutual assurance had failed that I ventured to submit to the consideration of her Majesty's Government a plan which, by an Act of Parliament, would (by removing legal difficulties and disabilities and pro viding au administrative machinery) enable agricul turists more effectually to combine for the voluntary distribution of the average loss from the cattle plague over the farming lauds of insurers, and like wise over a series of years by means of a loan secured by a rentcharge, to be assessed like the Property and Income-tax on the owner and occupier in fixed proportions. " I asked the Government to take no other re sponsibility than the passage through Parliament of this Act, providing the requisite legal powers and administrative machinery, which need not neces sarily be that of any existing department. But I also sought, by the action of the Government and the sanction of Parliament, to inspire confidence as to the insurance of stock which the general failure of cattle insurance associations through a long series of years has undermined. I did not enter into the details by which care lessness, waste, and fraud might be reduced to a minimum. The safeguards would obviously consist in a skilful adjustment of local interests in the Act of Parliament, insuring the utmost vigilance, and even, as in Aberdeenshire, extending to measures for the suppression of the plague. " I have only further to thank Sir George Grey for the honour which he has done me in submitting my proposals to the consideration of her Majesty's Government and for the courtesy of .the reply.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "JAMES KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH. " H. Waddington, Esq., Home-office." The Fenian Trials. D ÜBLIN, Wednesday. Cornelius Dwyer Kane was found guilty of trea son-felony to-day. When asked what he had to say, he said he was proud of the friendship of Stephens, and considered he was bound as an Irish man to join a combination which was for the good of Ireland, and not for assassination and plunder, as was falsely asserted. In conclusion he said, Now, my lord, I have only one request to make, and that is, that you will not give me any advice or lecture, as you have done the other prisoners. I ask you simply to pass sentence on me, and give me nothing in the shape of advice or lecture, for I as sure you it would be lost upon me." Judge Fitzgerald s en t ence d him to penal servi tude for ten years. John Clohessy pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. To-day Mr. Howley intimated that he had re- ceived a communication from the Attorney-General, ordering the liberation of the 21 prisoners who were arrested last week charged with Fenianism. In the Attorney-General's opinion the evidence was insufficient to warrant their detention. The pri soners were therefore liberated on their own bail. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —That the fearful annual mortality a 60,000 young children and delicate persons of all ages may be arrested, if, instead of flying blindly to pills and medicines, which, though apparently relieving the patient, have in reality no o.her tendency than that of Increasing debility, and with it the danger of life, we were simply to study how to increase the vital force by imparting new and pure blood, upon which the harmonious development of the whole frame depends, has been successfully proved by Du Barry's inva lids' and Infa,,ts' Food, the Revalenta Arabica, and its thousands of cures annually. It yields three times as mush easily assimilated nourishment as the best meat, tad for children it is the best substitute for human milk. Dr. Routh, physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and Children—the best authority on such matters —in his admir able publication on Food, says—Amongst the vegetable sub stances, th ,t which comes closest t 3 milk in its composition is, without doubt, Da Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, con aining both phosphoric acid in abundance and chloride of potas•lum ; it also includes casein, the same principle which is found in milk in its constituent parts. No wonder, there fore, that under its influence many children affected with atrophy (wasting away of the body), and marked debt ity, have completely recovered. I have given it with the greatest advantage in such cases ; and so far as I may judge from my own experience, practice fully carries out what theory, from a knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate.— In tins, 1 lb., 28. 9d. ; 21b., 4s. 6d ; 5.b , 11e. ; 121 b., 2 .s. ; 241 b. 40s.—Barry Du Barry and Co., No. 77, Regent-street, London; also Phillips, tea dealers, 8, King William-street; likewise at 61, Gracechurch-street ; 4, Cheapside ; 49, Bishopsgate street Within ; 63, 150, and 298, Oxford-street ; 330, Strand ; 54, Upper Baker-street ; 103, Tottenham-court-road ; 96, Upper-street, Islington, N.; Harvey, Notting-hill; Close Brothers, 65, High-stre, t ; and Stubbs, Queen's-terrace, St. John's-wood, London ; and all respectable grocers and che mists.—Beware of spurious imitations. The Simoom, - screw iron troop ship, Captain Thomas B. Lethbridge, fitting out at Portsmouth for troop service, yesterday steamed out of harbour and made a most satisfactory trial of her new ma chinery, under the supervision of the officials of the Steam Reserve and Factory Departments, and after wards returned to the harbour to complete her out fit and prepare for her official speed trial over the measured mile during the next spring tides. The ship has been supplied with two new cylinder en gines, of. 400-horse power, manufactured for her in the steam factory of Portsmouth Dockyard, the dia meter of the cylinders being 6fin., and the length stroke 3ft. They drive a two-bladed common pro peller, fitted with Maudslay's shifting blades, having a diameter of 16ft., a pitch of 25ft., and a length of 3ft. Sin. The engines worked most admirably, and without a hitch of any kind throughout the trial. The maximum number of their revolutions was 64. The steering gear of the Simoom is the first of its kind introduced into her Majesty's navy, and is an improvement upon the principle which may be seen applied on some of the Clyde built steam vessels. On the shaft of the steering wheel, which stands between the funnel and the foremast is fitted a wheel which gears into a pinion, the shaft of the latter having on it a pitch wheel. Over this pitch wheel works a pitch chain, which, leading through guide pulleys on each side of the wheel, communicate with the rudder tillers by bars and chain links. The whole arrangement answered perfectly yesterday in testing the steering of the ship under all conditions of position and speed, and the very excellent manner in which the work has been done reflects great credit on the dock yard officers who have had its supervision. The Simoom will be placed in dock to-morrow to carry out some slight alterations in the banjo-frame of her screw, examine her valves, &c. Capt. Lethbridge may congratulate himself on having the command of one of the best appointed troopships under the Crown. Other troop vessels there are of a some what larger tonnage, but none can equal her in accommodation and general arrangements in pro portion to tonnage, nor can any claim equality with her in efficiency of machinery. The Scorpion, turret ship, was dismantled under the sheers of the old basin in Portsmouth dockyard yesterday, preparatory to undergoing the alterations and repairs recommended in the surveys held upon the ship. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam frigate Valor ous, Capt. Forsyth, left Table Bay on Nov. 20 for Simon's Bay.

Forty-two are reported to have died on the passage for the Cape, where Commodore Cockburn paid prompt attention to them. Twelve of the worst cases were transferred to the Naval Hospital, 50 of the sick were sent to the Seringapatam, and G 8 others were placed under canvas at Simon's town. An order from the Horse Guards was yesterday received at Chatham garrison, directing Capt. Allen N. Adams, Ensign John Hugh Ford, and 51 non commissioned officers and men of the 2d Battalion of the 20th Regiment to be -held in readiness to em bark for China, there to join the service companies. of that regiment. General Sir James Frederick Love, G.C.8., K.H., who died on the 13th inst., entered the army in 1804. He accompanied the 52d Regiment in the expedition to Sweden under Sir John Moore, and afterwards served in Portugal and Spain, including the battle of Corunna, and subsequently in the Peninsula, with the Light Division, in all the bat tles up to 1812. He was also present at the bom bardment of Antwerp and other affairs under Lord Lynedoch in Holland, and was afterwards before New Orleans, where he was wounded. He served in the campaign of 1815, and received four severe wounds at Waterloo while the 52d charged the French Imperial Guard. In reward of these ser vices he received the war medal with four clasps. Sir Frederick Love held an important command in Canada during the rebellion, and continued to hold high command up to the year 1861. He was created a Grand Cross of the Bath in 1565.
