Its two main objects are, first, the exposition of Catholic principles on all those great questions—ecclesias tical, philosophical, and social—which are now agitating the intellect and heart of the country; and, second, a truthful statement of facts as to the condition, political and religious, of Catholicismin the various countries of Europe. Foreign writers of note in France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain are engaged as contributors to " The Westminster Gazette." The true interests of Ireland, its struggles for its unquestionable rights as a Catholic nation to a Catholic system of Educatiiin, shall be dis cussed always in a spirit free from the prejudice or passion of more political partisanship. An important feature of the New Paper will be the large space especially allotted to reviews of books. both English and foreign, non- Catholic as well as Catholic.

D the SYSTEM SAMUEL, BROTHERS, t, t , Conduct their business upon in the Illustrated Price bil,C°soribed at head of column. The firm has been esta pri,,e4 2 0 years on the principle of charging the lowost Possible for ready money, and marking the same %"oWed.-50, „,n, each article in plain figures, from which no deviation Ludgate-hill. The value of these stipulations will be readily discerned from the fact that (apart from the land, not to be paid for at all, being received as free gift), the town blocks to be purchased and cleared are at present mostly occupied by very indifferent buildings, whereas the site will become at once the most important Boulevard for traffic, business, and residential purposes, opening up, as it does, a direct road between the North and South Railway Termini, and the land will become saleable by the Company at the largely-enhanced anticipated value. The many thousands of our countrymen who have re cently visited Brussels cannot but have observed a scarcity of unoccupied dwellings ; in addition to the existing want of additional accommodation, it should be considered as affecting the after value of vacant town blocks in such eminently desirable situations, that the works alone will, it is estimated, displace upwards of 1,200 families. After a long course of laborious official inquiry, extend ing over several years, as to the most effectual sanitary plan to be adopted, the Belgian Government finally accepted that upon which the present concessions are based, upon the report of a special Government deputation commis sioned to make a personal examination of the important sewage and main drainage works of London and the suburbs. The original estimates * for the principal part of these works - were examined and verified by Mr. J. W. Bitzalgetto, Engineer-in-Chief to the Metropolitan Board of Works of London, under the sanction of that body ; and these esti mates have been further tested by months of minute and careful revision on the part of contractors and their respec tive engineers. The contracts for the execution of the whole of the main drainage works, and the formation of the Boulevard, have ben concluded with experienced and responsible Belgian contractors, approved by the Belgian authorities, and who have placed at the disposal of the Company sufficient gua rantees for the clue perJormance of their engagements. It is intended that the whole of the works shall bc com pleted within four years. The importance of the undertaking is evidenced in the, protracted ollieial debates in the Brussels Municipal Coun cil, and also in the BAsian Chambers awl Senate ou the subject, and by the special report thereon from Lord Howard de Walden, her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at Brussels, transmitted by the Earl of Clarendon, through Sir George Grey, to the Metropolitan Board of Works, in London, and recorded in their Minutes under date of May 18, 1866, an extract of which is annexed to the Prospectus. The late distinguished Monarch, Leopold 1., to whose wisdom and sagacity Belgium is so deeply indebted, always manifested the warmest interest in these projected works ; and the reigning Sovereign, his Majesty Leopold IL, after earnestly forwarding every stage of the negotiation from its inception, has further testified his conclusive approval by having expressed his desire to inaugurate the works by laying the first stone in State ceremony, which is fixed to take place at Brussels on Wednesday, the 22nd of January next. It will be at once seen by this brief description of the concession that it is one of no ordinary character, whether it is considered in the importance of the work to be done— the Governmental identification with its success—the na tional character of its object—and the directors believe they may fairly add without entering into details (which in a public statement they cannot do), from its prospect of financial success. The capital of the company is fixed at £350,000, in 35,000 shares of £lO each, divided into 25,000 A Prefer ance Shares and 10,000 B Deferred Shares. The Preference Shares represent the capital to be sub scribed by the public for working out the concession, and the Deferred Shares are accepted by the Concessionaires in consideration of the assignment by them to the Company of the concession. The privileges attached to the respective share capital are as follows : The A. Preference Shares aro to be redeemed out of the assets of the Company, by drawing by lot, and each share paid off at £1.5 per share, being a bonus of X 5 per share ; the drawings will take place on the following dates, viz. : On the 22nd January, 1870, 6,250 shares, or £62,500, 77 77 1871, 6,250 „ £62,500, ~ ~ 1872, 6,250 „ £62,500, 77 11 1873, 6,250 „ £62,500, Total shares 25,000 or £250,000 Until so drawn and paid off, each share to bear interest at the rate of 8 per eent. per annum, payable half-yearly, on the Ist of Jaauary and Ist July in each year, for which interest warrants will be attached to the shares. On repayment of the shares of £l5 each, the shares will have to be given up with all interest warrants attached thereto that have not become due, and the shares so paid off are to be transferred for the benefit of the B Share holders. Should the realisation of the concession permit, the Directors reserve to themselves the right of making, at their discretion, either earlier or larger drawings, but in such case the f 5 bonus per share is still to be paid, not withstanding such earlier or larger redemption of share capital. Reckoning the redemption at the dates and at the bonus named, the investment will pay subscribers a rate of in terest as follows :—those shares which are drawn, and thus are To bo paid off on 22nd of January, 1870, will have re ceived 8 per cent. interest and at the rate of 164 per cent. bonus, or total of 241 per cent. per annum on amount of investment for the period of 3 years. Those to be paid off on 22nd January, 1871, will !have received 8 per cent. interest and at the rate of 124 per cent. bonus, or total of 20i per cent. per annum on amount of investment for the period of 4 years. Those to be paid off on 22nd January, 1872, will have received 8 per cont. interest and at the rate of 10 per cent. bonus, or total of 18 per cent. per annum on amount o f investment for the period of 5 years. Those to be paid off on 22nd January, 1873, will have received 8 per cent. interest and at the rate of 81 per cent. bonus, or total of 164 per cent. per annum on amount of investment for the period of 6 years. These A Preference Shares are now offered to the public for subscription. The payments are to be made as follows : s. d. 2 0 0 per share on applicati on . 3 0 0 ~ on allot ment . 210 0 „ on Ist March, 1867. 210 0 ~ on Ist July, 1867. £lO 0 0 or all may be paid up at once, either on application or allotment, at option of subscriber—interest accruing from day of payment in all cases. The Directors do not pledge themselves to make an allotment to every applicant, nor to allot the whole of the shares, it being their desire to place this small capital in the hands of bona fide investors. The B Defer►rod Shares represent the Concessionaires' interest in the Company. These shares will not be en titled either to payment of any interest or capital until the whole of the Preference Shares have received their capital back, with the interest and bonus before referred to ; there fore the Deferred Shares become practically and virtually a guarantee to the Preference Shares. The Concessionaires having thus expressed their wil lingness to endorse substantially their opinion of the value of the concession, it follows that the Deferred Shares will only receive the surplus, whatever it may amount to after the redemption of the preference capital, the concession and property then remaining will belong to the Deferred Shareholders alone. No purchase-money for the concession and no promo tion-money-will be paid, aud:the expenses will;be strictly limited to the actual preliminary disbursements necessary to acquiring the concession and the establishment of the Company ; the Credit Foncier of England (Limited) re ceiving their profit entirely from the B Deferred Shares.

The object is to arch over the river Senne, which runs through the lower part of the city, and is in fad an immense open drain, receiving the greater part of the sewage of the town, which is, at present, most dangerous to health, and often the cause of destructive epidemics. The plan combines lateral drains to intercept the sewage, reservoirs outside of the town for deodorising and collect ing for manure, and works to prevent inundations. An extensive Boulevard is to be run over the vaulted course of the Senne quite through the town. The houses on each side, which are now of the most inferior class, are to be pulled down, new ones of a superior character, on a widened way, are to be erected all along the new Boulevard, with great facilities for lateral access to it on either side. A building, which is to unite Halls for an Exchange and Gal leries for artistic exhibitions, is also to be constructed. The estimated cost of these works is 26 millions of francs. The amount is contributed by the town of Brussels, by the province of Brabant, and by the State, in the following proportions —the Town, 16 millions; the Province, 3 mil lions ; the Government, 7 millions. I enclose herewith a copy of the Report presented to the Chamber of R. R., on the part of the Central Section, which explains fully the nature and importance of this projected transformation in the lower part of Brussels. As an engineering work, the plan is one of the highest interest, from its extent and projected effects as combining ornamentation and facilities of intercourse throughout the whole of the lower quarter, with incalculable benefits in point of healthy action on at least half of the population of Brussels.—l have, &c., (Signed) HOWARD DE WALDEN & SEAFORD.

Subscriptions thankfully received by the London and West minster Bank, 41, Lothburv, and 214, High Holborn; Messrs. Ransom and Ca., 1, Pall-Mall East; and by WM. WILLIAMS, Secretary. Refuge, 8, Ureat Queen-street, W.C. PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOM E NA . ND 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 aro admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Maneger &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Not with si and ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, 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 he 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. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT D.D., No, 22, Finsbury-circus, E.C. The Homeless Boys of London. The ceremony of inaugurating her Majesty's ship Chichester as a training school for the homeless boys of London took place yesterday in one of the dry docks in Mr. Green's shipbuilding-yard, Poplar. The movement, of which the Constitution of the Chichester as a school for nautical instruction is an extension, began in July, 1852, when a refuge for homeless and destitute boys was opened at 19, Broad-street, Bloomsbury. At first only six could be received, but as the friends of the refuge were augmented the number was increased, so that in 1857 the present premises at 8, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, were taken, and since that time the returns show that about 100 strays and waifs of the London streets have been received weekly into this admirable institution. Since the establishment of the refuge down to the end of the year 1865 1,016 boys were admitted, and during the same period 758 left for the navy and merchant services, for situations at home, and for emigration to the colonies. During the present year, in consequence of revelations which showed that boys of tender years were obliged to associate with men of the most debased character in the casual wards of the metro politan workhouses to which they were compelled to have recourse for shelter, the pr in - lotus of the re fute resolved on making a strenuous effort to rescue as many of these poor children as their influence could reach from the contaminating evils to which they were exposed. Accordingly, on the 14th of February last, an invitation was given to the boys accustomed to sleep in the casual wards of London and other nightly haunts to come to supper at the refuge, and nearly 200 accepted the invitation. During the evening Lord Shaftesbury, who pre sided, having questioned the boys as to their mode of life, asked them if they would be willing to go on board a ship if such were provided for them, and the hands of nearly all the poor and destitute guests were held up as an answer to the inquiry. Among those who accepted the invitation of the cemrnittee there were few who were not suffering from some infirmity, and we were struck ourselves by the large proportion of them who were lame. Ophthalmia was perceptible in the tender eyes of many, while skin diseases had manifestly set their marks on almost all. Some had lost one or both parents or had been dese rted ; others had nev er known their fathers or mothers. They slept at night in the casual wards, under sheds, on doorsteps, on carts or waggons ; in fact, wherever they could rest their heads, after trying to eke out existence during the day. Yesterday the Chichester was arrayed in her gayest bunting, and an awning, on which the flags of all nations were tastefully distributed, was erected over the whole length of the upper deck, on which the ceremony of inauguration was held. At 2 o'clock Lord Shaftesbury took the chair, being supported by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, Sir Stafford Northcote, M.P., President of the Board of Trade; Mr. It. Culling Banbury, M.P. , and others, while the body of the temporary en closure was filled to its utmost capacity by a fashion able audience of ladies and gentlemen. On his lord ship taking the chair, the boys who had been chosen to occupy the ship were introduced, and the little blue jackets,attired in their new naval costume, pre sented a most interesting and picturesque appear ance. Prayer having been offered up, Mr. William Williams, the secretary, read a statement detailing the history of the institution, after which Lord Shaftesbury proceeded to address the meeting. lie said he felt unspeakable delight and gratitude at seeing so large an a ssemblage around him, notwith standing the time of the year and the diStance from town of the place in which they were collected. It betokened a vast amount of feeling and sympathy with the work they had in hand, and God grant that their feeling and sympathy would be matured into practice to sustain the institution amidst all the difficulties which surrounded it. Ho could in his own experience support the statement made by Mr. Williams, whose zeal in this good cause could not be overrated. What that statement said of the miserable condition of the boys of London was far below the mark. This project was no longer an experiment ; its efficacy had been proved. Take the most naked, ragged, wretched children of the streets, breathe upon theta the breath of life, and they be came equal to the highest in the land. A year ago a large number were taken into the refuge, and 70 or 80 added every week at haphazard. What was the result? That not a single act of insubordination was recorded. It had been said that the children of the poor should have recourse to industrial and cer tified schools. Where were the industrial and cer tified schools ? After all the inquiries they were able to make they were not able to find more than two for the population of 3,000,1)00 souls in the i metropolis; 400 could be received on board the Chichester, and 200 could be sent away every year to recruit the number of our active seamen. lle trusted the time I was near at hand wh en the English sailor would be remarkable, not for drunkenness and insubordina tion, but for sobriety and self-control. Sir Stafford Northcote, the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Sheriff Wa terlow having addressed the meeting, the proceed ings closed with three cheers for Lord Shaftesbury. The ship will shortly leave the dock and go to Greenhithe, that being the spot appointed for her destination. —Porcelain, Earthenware, and other Fancy Pot tery : Biscuit, hard and soft porcelain, fine earthen ware, with coloured glazing, &c.; biscuit of earthen. ware.

Colonel Stodare had but just announced that his performance was about to be varied by a new series of tricks and illusions, when the announcement was followed by that of his death. We have no doubt that many young people grieved over the gifted magician with selfish grief at the loss of an a nticipated plea sure. We certainly had no expectation of seeing the magician's vacant place so admirably filled. The secrets of his art bad been confided to a pupil, and the Colonel's mantle fell on one every way qualified to take the wand he dropped. To the wonder of the performances sensesbysleight an o d f hand, bafae which so completely d ingenuity to discover the means, are added three illusions which are such marvels of ingenuity that they must be seen to be appreciated. The first is the Sphinx. Madame Stodare appears on the stage ; she places a box on a stand having four legs under neath, which every one in the llall can plainly see. The stand is a simple stool, with nothi e n as g uipl r y no b r ern e tw t o h ve a cea by than a mere framework. The box is about a coup l e of feetthe lady.squ square, Tahneddioanloegte is which i is kept Madame Stodare and a head inside this box. She opens the lid and a Sphinx's head is revealed to the audience. She then seats herself on the plank com municating with the audience and directs the Sphinx to open its eyes, to turn its head from side to side, to smile, and then to give an account of Egypt. All this is performed in so natural a way that the head must be the head of a human being, yet it is perfectly incomprehensible where the body e illusioncitizens t t fize eat; can be. The Marvel of M e cca follows, and again the illusion is complete. In this Madame Stodare seats herself on a high ottoman, her dress is gathered and pinned up in folds around her perso n, the magician removes the ottoman, and Mad ame Stodare appears to the spectators floa tin g in the air. We were about to write suspe nded, and sus pended, we suppose, it mast be , for there are n o props beneath her. About thi s there can be no mistake, for the magician p asses a stick be neath the reclining figure, and a hundred kee n eyes are l oo king around in amazement to obtain some clue, b ta zl e t hnz Baskete h bewildered a udience uth te curtain wrapped falls and leaves in mystery. w is h C ie o h lo i n ia e s l fSetr,odyaeraer'ss continued dd to I puzzle of London. Madame Stodare n now steps into the basket, which is first shown to the audience with its bottom complete. It is placed on the skeleton stand, the sword is drawn, and the magician stabs the basket • irs every part, the cries of the lady are loudly heard, the sword comes out covered with blood, and, illusion though we know it to be, there is still a sensation of horror, so completely are our senses deceived. The bn'ket is taken from the stand, the lid is opene.l, and turned on its side, when the astonished spectators see the interior empty, and the bottom still com plete. While. all eyes are concentrated on the empty basket the curtains of a private box are withdrawn, and the handsome lady, whose cruel fate was creating so much commiseration, bows gracefully to her assembled patrons. Then the children go home to prattle to their parents and to each other, of the incomprehensible wonders they have seen, and to ask questions of their puzzled elders which the magician alone can satisfactorily answer.
