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 wourien, children, and orphans are, for want acco mmo d a ti on , refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night aft er n i g ht i n the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, X 2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £lOOO more will be required. Besides providing shelte r for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and co a ls 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 ?

GRONOW, formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author of " Recol lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of his brother, s clergyman, and the small income whi c h he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family estate ceased with his life • while the sums he received from time to time for his " collections" were expended in providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

TEETII 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 tystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite pertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her ➢iajesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the support ng 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 tree. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

The twenty-first anniversary festival of this insti tute was held last evening at Freemasons' Hall, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, supported by Mr. Charles Dickens, Mr. Buckstone, Mr. B. Webster, Mr. F. Ledger, Mr. Levy, Lieut. H. Pomeroy Gilbert, Air:Charles Shaw, Lieut.-Colonel Money, Mr. G. Vining, Mr. Robert Keeley, Mr. Henry Huggins, and about 150 other gentlemen. On the dais behind the chairman and in the galleries there were several ladies. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been appropriately introduced and enthusiastically re ceived, Major Snell responding for the Army, Lieut. Gilbert for the Navy, and Lieut.-Colonel Money for the Volunteers, The CHAIRMAN proposed " Prosperity to the Royal General Theatrical Fund." Unfortunately, upon that occasion he had not to be summoned to any rehearsal, while the terms of his engagement were unsettled. He had never before made his appear ance before so critical an audience, but he could assure them also that he was never before more deeply impressed with the truth and justice of the cause which he advocated. In every age the drama had contributed to the progress of civilisation and the im provement of mankind. It has the impersonation of the loftiest sentiments in the most expressive language. The actor seemed as a link between the sovereign minds of the world and the mass of mankind. He brought the vast range of human thought and feeling within the limits of our comprehension. (Cheers.) He (the Lord Mayor) therefore asked them, one and all, to support their excellent institution. The actor, when he could not work, could not live. In youth and health he instructed and amused us, and in his old age and adversity it was our duty to assist and maintain him. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he had to give them " Prosperity to the General Theatrical Fund," and he asked them to couple with the toast the honoured name of their treasurer, Mr. Buckstone. (Cheers.) Mr. BUCKSTONE rose and said—Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I rise to address you this evening, to explain the nature and object of our fund, and to return thanks for our right hon. chair man's toast ; for althongh we have bad illustrious authors, great statesmen, and eminent actors pre siding at these dinners, we have been remarkably fortunate this evening in obtaining the chief magi strate of the City for that office. He is the first Lord Mayor who has so honoured this festival. Sir William Walworth may have killed his Wat Tyler; Dick Whittington may, from his good qualities and his good cat, have been thrice Lord Mayor of Lon don ; the son of Sir Richard Gresham may have built the Royal Exchange ; and other Lord Mayors have doubtless performed many generous and noble actions ; but I am sure all present who have a love for the drama and an affectionate regard for its professors will allow that the Lord Mayor of to-day having kindly consented to be our chairman on this occasion, that kindnesS will not be placed amongst the least praiseworthy of any of the generous acts ever performed by him or by his honoured prede cessors. On last Lord Mayor's day I had the pleasure of being at an open window in Fleet street to see and be delighted with the show, when of course, I had the gratification of seeing our chairman in his great carriage well taken care of, and guarded by a warlike -looking retainer in a fur cap, and bearing a gigantic sword. Kuowing our chairman not only to be a friend to our ' fund, but also a patron of the drama, I was one amongst the thousands assembled who gave him a hearty cheer as he passed by in his honourable state. Certainly there were no men in armour or ancient knights, as they used to be called in the civic pro gramme ; but as it was said that the expense attend ing them was applied to a better purpose, and as at all times these knights were neither very striking nor very steady objects in the cavalcade, their ab sence was not particularly regretted. Having al luded to the men in armour, I am inclined to relate an anecdote connected with them and a former Lord Mayor's show. I once had occasion to represent " Richard the Third" at the Haymarket Theatre, but being unaccustomed at that house to warlike tragedies, we had no suits of mail in which to encase the captains and. soldiers of York and Lancaster. In this difficulty I applied to the then manager of Astley's Amphitheatre—not Mr. E. T. Smith, the present one—for the loan of some armour, when almost immediately afterwards a vanload arrived at my stage-door. I sent my thanks to the manager for his kind and prompt compliance with my re quest, and experienced for him an indescribable feeling of friendship, mingled with gratitude. The only drawback to this generous action was that the armour was very dirty and required cleaning. To accomplish this my men were occupied for two or three days in brightening it up. The night came for the performance of " Richard the Third." The armour was donned by the actors, who went it.to battle certainly, but under difficulties. My Earl of Richmond (Mr. Howe), on lifting up his arm to strike at Richard, could not get it down again, but continued in that striking attitude to the end of the play. Catesby and Ratcliff wandered about like two animated Dutch ovens, and, being unable to see through their vizors where they were going, came into collision with each other ; some of the helmets having been forced on the heads of some of the soldiers, could not be got off again till long after the tragedy was over ; while one. disgusted super, who had been laughed at by the audience and had also experienced a tumble or two, was heard to say, " If this armour dodge goes on I shall leave the pro fession." However, the tragedy was played but two nights, when the manager of Astley's immediately sent his van to fetch the armour away, because the next day was Lord Mayor's-day, and it was wanted for the show. I then discovered the reason of my friend's alacrityin lending it me—it required clean ing, and I had to go to the expense of it instead of him. Gentlemen, I must confess to having a certain feeling of reverence for the chief magistrate of the City, as my grandfather, Mr. Wm. Buckstoue, was a citizen and a member of the Drapers' Company, and I recollect, when I was a little boy, he prophe sied that I should one day be an alderman, and that he should live to 'hear the crier in court call out, " Make way for Alderman Buckstone ;" but al though his prophecy did not literally come to pass, still to a certain extent it has this evening been ful filled; for notwithstanding I have never been an alderman, lam not now far from a Lord Mayor. And now, gentlemen, it is time that I should leave the City and come westward to the business of our fund, and explain to those who may not be acquainted with our objects what they are. The Royal General Theatrical Fund was established about3o years ago, for the purpose of admitting all persons as members who had practised the art of acting, dancing, and singing in Great Britain and Ireland. The Drury Lane and Covent Garden Funds restricted their members to performers who had. been engaged for a term of years at those theatres only. Our funds ad mit the entire class of performers in England, and grants to such members life annuities at a certain age, and under certain conditions. We have now, gentlemen, 26 annuitants-16 of whom are ladies, and 10 of them gentlemen, receiving from £3O to £9O per annum. Our capital amounts to more than £13,000, while during the past year, we have distri buted in annuities and for funeral expenses no less a sum than £1,041, to which may be added nearly £lOO for expenses in conducting the business of the fund. From letters that I sometimes receive, it appears to me many persons imagine that our fund is identical with that excellent institution, the Dramatic Col lege, while some fancy it to be connected with another excellent institution, the Dramatic Sick Fund. Gentlemen, this is not the case ; we stand quite alone, and have no connexion with any other establishment, although I must confess that I hope to see the day when the resources of all the dra matic funds may become amalgamated, for such a proceeding would produce an amount of capital so enormous that every one of the institutions I have referred to would stand upon a firm and lasting foundation—a foundation which could not be up rooted, unless there should happen, to arise a puri tanical revolution, which I hope is impossible. But until such an amalgamation takes place, it behoves all the members of our fund to be energetic in their endeavours to increase its capital ; for we have still much to do, and many to provide for. I also think it is not generally understood that our fund, having a Royal charter, can receive legacies. Surely there must be many in this country who have passed their happiest hours in witnessing the representation of our drama; to those I can only say, when you are making your wills, do not forget us. On the last page of our annual report of these festivals you will find a simple form of bequest, in which you can in sert whatever you may please to give us ; while the form has one great recommendation—it can be copied, filled up, signed, and witnessed without the aid of an attorney. In pleading our cause to-night, gentlemen, I am pleading for a class whose loyalty has ever been proverbial. I need not refer to those gallant players who have fought for Royalty in the field—l need not now refer to the many instances of their generosity and courage ; but to show of what stuff they are made, and of their bravery in the hour of despair and death, I need but name one instance—one that is still fresh in our memories— the behaviour and end of the late Gustavus Brooke, who worked while he could save, and when all hope was abandoned, "faced his fate," as was well said in one of the journals, " like a brave and Christian gen tleman." Now, gentlemen, as the generous and warm influences of the City are prevailing at this moment, we naturally expect the amount of donations this evening will exceed those of any previous year ; but I must, in the name of the members of our fund, re turn our hearty thanks to our illustrious trustee, Mr. Charles Dickens, to whom we mainly owe the presence of our chairman this evening, for it was he that asked the Lord Mayor to come, and it was the Lord Mayor who said to me that the wishes of Mr. Dickens were his commands. Before I conclude, gentlemen, I wish you to remember that our fund is purely a provident one ; its members, when receiv ing their annuities, but take what is their right — the return for many years' punctual payment of their subscriptions, aided by your donat a i r o t 7 ie s s . politically speaking, we belong to all parties, d C o o n n s o e t r va wisht iv e :n , ybealcateursaetiwone i take r care c o s , f ;tontdtr as m e o v n e e r y y , department is so well repres ented, We are Liberals, manse oc casion for any reform. we have no Intim , annuities to and l\re I a (r 1 are, not be we are only too happy when R be as liberal as we can.

As regards her Ma j es t y you will be happy to hear that we are in receipt of her annual donation of £lOO, while the Prince of Wales not only visits all the theatres, in company with his fair Princess, but has also given us a very handsome subscription. At thesame time I cannot forbear reading a letter from a gentleman who has sent us a donation through that great friend to one fund, Mr. Frederick Ledger, of the Era:— ` "My dear Sir,-1n the event of my being absent from London on the day appointed for the dinner of the Royal General Theatrical Fund, may I ask you to forward the enclosed check for 50 guineas? It is with greatpleasure I imfard my at:a - Wien, and trust sincerely that it may help, 1,4 G. k • 41 ?".:4= • t • - 7•• 4 4-z-ztA: 4 4z z in a small way, to relieve those them from earning their daily bread. Thom I serf them parties and the good they do, the more I feenoundlo herp them. How thankful we ought to be whom Providence has favoured, and enabled to keep from our doors many of the real hardships of life ! "Believe me, my dear sir, yours faithfully, " GEORGE ROBERT STEPHENSON. " Great George-street, Westminster." I have merely read this letter, gentlemen, to show you what friends we have, and .to " encourage the others." In conclusion, gentlemen, it has been said that everyone has his pleasures. Some find pleasure in a gloomy austerity, othersin cheerfulness and doing good ; and if you, gentlemen, find a pleasure in at- tending these dinners, and coming down handsomely with your donations, and in listening to those who address you, let me beg of you still to indulge in that harmless pleasure. Come here as often - as you can on these occasions, be as liberal as you can, as I well know there are many grateful hearts who, in the words of Lord Dundreary, will exclaim " Bless you, bless you." Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, who was received with prolonged cheers, said—ln my childish days I re member to have had a vague but profound admira i tion for a certain legendary person called the Lord Mayor's fool.. (Laughter.) I had the highest opinion of the intellectual capacity of that supposititious.re tainer of the Mansion-house, and I recollect him. with feelings of regard approaching to absolute venera tion ; for my nurse informed me that en every gas tronomic occasion theLordMayor's fool liked every. thing that was good. (Laughter.) You will agr.to with me, I have no doubt, that if this discriminrAi ng jester had existed at the present time he would not have failed to have liked his master very much, see ing that so good a Lord Mayor is so very rarely tcp, be found, and that a better Lord Mayor could not possibly be. (Cheers.) You have already divined, gentlemen, thaa am about to propose to you to drink the health of the right hon. gentleman in the chair. (Cheei:S.)' As One of the trustees of the General 'Theatrical Fund, I beg officially to tender him my best thanks for lending the very powerful aid of bl% presence and influence to this very deserving insti.. tution. As the friend who ventured to urge upo n him to do us this gracious act, I beg to assu:ce you that the perfect simplicity, cordiality, modesty, and frankness with which he assented enhanced the gift' one thousandfold. I think. it must also be very agreeable to a company like this to know that the president is not ceremoniously pretending for this night only to have an interest in the drama, bat that he has an unusual and thorough acquaintance with it, and that he has a loving and discerning knowledge of the great old actors. (Rear.) It is very pleasant to me to remember that the Lord Mayor and I once beguiled the tedium of a journey by exchanging our theatrical experiences. I had rather plumed myself on being something of an old stager, but I found the Lord Mayor so thoroughly up in stock pieces —so knowing, and yet so fresh about the merits of those who were most and best identified with them—that I speedily recognised in him what would be called in fistic language. " ugly customer"—(laughter)—one who, I assure you, was not to be touched by any novice not in thorough good theatrical training. We all know from our earliest infancy that when the giants in the Guildhall 'hear the clock strike one they come down to dinner. Similarly, when the City of Lon don shall hear but one single word in dispraise of its present Lord Mayor, whether as its enlightened and liberal chief magistrate, or as one of its mer chants, or as one of its true gentlemen, he will then descend from the high personal place he holds in the general honour and esteem, but until then he will remain upon his pedestal. Between ourselves, my private opinion is that the giants will come down long before he does. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, I will remark that when the Lord Mayor made his remarkable and truly manly and unaffected speech, I could not but be struck by the reversal of the usual circumstances of the Mansion-house which he hon estly presented to our view ; for while it is a very common thing for persons to be brought trembling before the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor that even ing appeared, to use his own expression, tremblingly before them. I hope the reverse may hold good still further; for whereas it is a common thing for the Lord Mayor to say to a repentant criminal, "Let me never see you here again," I would propose that we say to the Lord Mayor, "Let us by all means see you here again at the next festival." (Cheers and laughter.) I beg to give you the " Health of the Lord Mayor." (Cheers). The CHAIRMAN gracefully acknowledged the compliment. Among the toasts were, " The health of Mr. Robert Keeley," to which Mr. Keeley responded. " The Drama and Mr. Buckingham." " The artists who contributed to the amusement of the evening," proposed by Mr. B. Webster. There was a charming selection of vocal music, Miss Louisa Pyne delighting the company by her rendering of "'The harp that once through Tara's hall" and " Home, sweet home," and Miss Pool being equally effective. Subscriptions to the amount of about £5OO were announced. President Johnson's Address to 3373:an Envoy. President Johnson, on the 1G th, received Baron Beaulieu, special Envoy from the King of the Bel gians, to announce, officially, the death of King Leopold I. and the accession of his successor. The Baron delivered letters from his Sovereign, and addressed some complimentary remarks to Mr. Johnson, who replied as follows : Baron, —Belgium is chiefly known in history as a coun try which has continually suffered by being involuntarily chosen for a battle-ground on which foreign States have maintained the conflicts of irreconcilable ideas and ambi tion. For that reason I never meet a representative of Bel gium without feeling a desire to congratulate him upon the repose, the tranquillity, the prosperity, and the dignity which his country at last attained under the sway of her Sovereign, Leopold, and I trust that the history of the times in which we are living will show that the Govern ment and people of the United States duly appreciated the friendship with which we were favoured during that reign. 1 am profoundly affected by the goodwill and kindness which have moved the new King to give us an assurance at the beginning of his administration, and in so marked a manner, that ho entertains for the Unitod States the sato sentiments of sincere and affectionate friendship by which his predecessor was inspired. It is little that the United States can do Erectly to reciprocate benefits with European States. Indirectly, however, all those States may derive advantage from the practice of a wise, just, and liberal policy on this side of the Atlantic.
