The causes which made them avail themselves of those opportunities have been expen sive habits beyond their station, betting, or immo rality ; and the last seems to be the most fruitful cause of all, not only with the younger men, but also with married men.

By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care fully investigated by the Committee, anti with thie informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take to the little ones whose character and circumstances disqualify the e for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome Idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 100, and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to p'ead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not h 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "run away," none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe than ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 Of whom were convicted Red punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-zeli• ante and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. he Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cated for as children; tits) , have their regular meals, their suitable clothing. their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning' is devoted to school work—reading, and writing, and ciphetlng, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oljects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white Kuper bags for trad e smen, and door - mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &c. Some assist, the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping. while the elder ones lean all the boots, knives, etc. In this es ay it is sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by the Committee, Elections of children to be ad.aitted free will take place as frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is hill; they will then be held periodi ,ally Forms of application for the admission of children may be had at the Some, and of the Honorary Secretary, TEETH.

Harvey Wutterson, of Tennessee, had been sent on a special mis sion among the treasury cotton Agents in the Southern States, to investigate the numerous charges of fraud and corruption among them. The Governor of the State of Georgia telegraphs Mr. Secretary Soward as follows: "Milledgeville, Georgia, Dec. 22. " Sir,-1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of the 19th inst., together with a communi cation to his Excellency James Johnson, Provisional Go vernor of Georgia. Be-pleased to tender to his Excellency tho President my grateful return for the recognition of the official position in which the people of Georgia have placed me, and assure him of my fixed purpose to observe and obey as well the constitution of the United States as the constitution of the State of Georgia. Express to him my thanks for the offered co-operation of the Government of the United States in effecting the earliest restoration and permanent prosperity of the State. Upon this co-opera tion our people build up earnest hopes of a speedy return to their suspended relations with the other States of the Union.—l have, &c., "CHARLES J. JENKINS, Governor of Georgia." _ . _ _ _ A Washington despatch of the 2d inst. says : "It has been erroneously stated that the French and United States Governments have arrived at an under standing with regard to Mexican affairs. It is known, however, that Maximilian has not mot his pecuniary en gagements with Napoleon for keeping the French troops in Mexico, and that the French Emperor is not willing to support a military force at his own expense. It is a subject of comment to-day that at the President's recep tion yesterday none of the diplomatic corps recognised or spoke to the Mexican Minister. They evidently do not acknowledge him as the representative of any Government. Senor Romero was cordially received by President J ohn son, but only remained a few minutes in the reception room, leaving some time before the departure of the other Ministers." The Government had submitted to Congress copies of the correspondence which has taken place in regard to the alleged re-establishment of slavery in Mexico. The allega tion is made in a letter from M. Romero, the representa tive of the Juarez Government, to Mr. Seward, dated the sth October. This letter details the action of the Govern ment of the Emperor Maximilian, at the instigation of the Emperor Napoleon, and charges that the design is to at tract to Mexico the disaffected citizens from the late Con federate States, and to encourage the employment of forced labour. iuno wing is Ilia correspowience that ensued be tween Secretary Seward and the United States Minister at Paris : " Washington, Nov. 2, 1865. "Sir,—Tho condition of the emancipated slaves, or freedmen, within the United States is at this moment very probably a subject of deep interest. The establish ment of the perfect equality of men of the African race with men of other races throughout the whole continent is a principle which the United States may hereafter be expected to cultivate with constancy and assiduity. • Cer tain decrees bearing on the subject of immigration, which are understood to have been promulgated by authorities acting in Mexico, in opposition to the Republic, have arrested the attention of this Government. The law officer of the Government has submitted to this de partment an opinion that, if those decrees were carried into execution, they would inevitably ope rate to reduce into a condition of peon slavery working men of the African race, and, of course, such of the freedmen before mentioned as, with or with out their intelligent consent, might be brought within the jurisdiction of Mexico. If European opinion can be re garded as established in reference to any one political question, it is settled that African slavery in any form ought henceforth to cease throughout the world. We do not doubt that the Emperor of France cordially and fully concurs, as we do, in this humane sentiment. I hare, therefore to request you to place a copy of the opinion of the Attorney-General (herewith enclosed) in the hands of M. Drouyn de l'Huys, and ask that the attention of the French Government may be directed to the question, which the Attorney-General has discussed with ability, and with an anxious desire to arrive at just conclusions.— I am, sir, yours, &c., " W. H. SEWARD." " Paris, Nov. 22, 1865. " Sir, —Recalling the conversation which I had the hon our to hold with your Excellency on the lith ult., in rela tion to the alleged levy of Egyptian troops for involuntary service in Mexi6o, and the representations I then made in regard to the natural unwillingness of my Government and country people to see slavery in any form replanted either within our territory or on our borders, I beg to invite your Excellency's attention to certain recent decrees bearing upon the subject of emigration to Mexico, purporting to emanate from authorities acting in opposition to that re public. In the opinion of the law officer of my Government, these decrees, if enforced, would inevitably reduce to the condition of peon slavery working men of the African race, and, of course, such of the freedmen of the United States as may have already been or hereafter may be seduced to go there, without a full and intelligent compre hension of their liabilities. That your Excellency may understand the grounds for this conclusion, I am in structed to transmit to your Excellency a copy of the Attorney-General's opinion, which will be found en closed, and to invite the attention of the Imperial Go vernment to the questions therein discussed. In com plying with these instructions of the Government, I avail myself of the language of the despatch containing them to say that, if European opinion can be regarded as established in reference to any one political question, it is settled that African slavery, in any form, ought henceforth to cease throughout the world.' We do not doubt that the Emperor of Franco cordially and fully concurs, as we do, in this humane sentiment. I pray your Excellency to accept assurances of the distinguished consideration with which I have the honour to be, your Excellency's very obedient and very humble servant, "JOHN BIGELOW. "His Excellency M. Drouyn do Lhuys, Minister of Foreign Affairs." The New York Legislature met on the 3d instant, at Albany. The Governor, in his message, congratulates the Legislature on the roturn of honourable peace, and ear nestly urges the claims of maimed and disabled soldiers of New York for permanent relief from the General and State Governments. The Comptroller's report shows a deficiency of $1,179,000. Receipts of the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 are $16,273,000 ; payments, $16,183,000. Funded debt of the State, $6,05C,954, $228,000 having been redeemed during the year. Total debt, $25,475,539. In 1860 it was $33,612,975. The superintendent of the Bank Department reports 109 banks conducting business under the State laws, and that 193 have retired from the old system during the year, nearly all of which aro converted into national banks. The amount of outstanding circulation is about $27,000,000. He speaks favourably of the national bank ing system. Ho concludes with an exhortation for cordial co-operation in the support of just rights of all citizens of the Union, from which the only element of weakness and danger has been removed. "We should entertain no feel ing of bitterness or unkindness toward our misguided coun trymen, but be animated by general forbearance. The end of the war is an occasion of heartfelt joy and gratitude that the protecting hand which upholds the heavens has been our constant support." The statement of the Associated Banks exhibits some very important fluctuations in favour of a continuance of ease in money. The deposits show an increase of $6,021,991, and the circulation an increase of $361,564. The loans have increased $87,396. The legal tender exhibits an altogether exceptional increase of $17,243,476, the banks having adopted the uniform usage of including United States Clearing-house Certificates with their legal tender returns, iu accordance with the following resolution, adopted at a meeting of the association held Dec. 27 : " Resolved—That the banks be requested to include hereafter United States Clearing-house Certificates with legal tender notes in their weekly statements to the Clearing-house." A despatch from Chicago, Illinois, of the 2d says : "At a meeting of Fenians to-day, composed of officers who have served in the Union army, resolutions were adopted supporting Gen. Sweeney, and urging him to call a military convention in some central locality. A resolu tion was also adopted, that both of the contending parties who now divide the brotherhood, give way in favour of General Sweeney and his military directors. Forty-five officers signed the resolutions, which were sent to Genera S weeney." A New York despatch of the 2d Jan. states : " General Sweeney has issued an appeal to the Fenian■ not to waste their energies in intestine strife, and says : ' Let deeds not words be your motto. Strike before it is too late and the golden opportunity is lost. Our situation is that of two armies whose chiefs cannot agree upon a line of operations. The vast extent of the British dominions offers many vital points, and as we cannot reconcile our views, let each follow his chosen general and attack where his judgment tells him are the best chances of success. Let this disgraceful squabble cease at once. On the field of battle we will forget personal rancour and personal prejudice to remember only our country and her wrongs. Out of our difficulties I can see but one way to escape. It is to call in each State a convention of delegates from different circles, to decide in whom they will repose confidence, and then in silence allow Col. O'Maho ney and myself each to work out his respective plan for the freedom of Ireland.' "The Fenian Congress assembled to-day. A guard from the 99th O'Mahoney Regiment of Militia refused admission to all not provided with credentials. The State Centre, Mr. Rogers, of the Manhattan district, called the body to order, and Major Kelly, of Indiana, was appointed chair man of the Congress. Resolutions sustaining Col. O'Ma honey wore adopted, and Congress proceeded to the trans action of other business, the nature of which has not yet transpired. There were two plenipotentiaries from Ireland present, who stated that they brought letters from Stephens, who is now in Paris. " Previous to the opening of the Congress, Messrs. Meaney, Sinnott, and Millard, of the Fenian Senate, met at the Senate headquarters in pursuance to the regular ad journment of Nov. 7, but, there not being a quorum pre sent, adjourned. Report says two English detectives were spotted, and refused admission to the Congress. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Megmra, screw storeship, Commander Mon tagu B. Dunn, has sailed from Portsmouth for Woolwich and Deptford, to load with stores for Rio Janeiro and the West Coast of Africa. The Medusa, paddle steamer, Master-Commander Thomas Potter, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Devonport, with the screw frigate Imperieuse, in tow. The first of the armour plates manufactured for the double-screw frigate Penelope was tested in the proof-room of the Thunderer on Friday, in Dor chester Creek, near Portsmouth. The plate was Gin. in thickness, and was supplied from the roll ing mills of C. Cammell and Co., Sheffield. The Penelope is a vessel of 1,758 tons, will carry 121 ton guns in a central battery, and will be fitted with en gines of the collective nominal power of 600 horses, driving two independently working screws. She is building at Pembroke, from the designs of Mr. E. J. Reed, chief constructor of the navy. The adoption of the double screw principle in her Majesty's navy, and its application to ships of considerable tonnage, such as the Penelope, is a measure of great importance in its relation to the arguments for and against revolving turrets. Capt. Itobt. Hall, R.N., at present private secre tary to the First Lord of the Admiralty, will in all probability succeed Capt. Wm. Loring, C. 8., as Captain Superintendent of the Pembroke dockyard.

Before the same court was tried Thomas Fitzpatrick, private Royal Marines, for insubordi nation and striking a sergeant. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to receive 48 lashes and to be imprisoned for one year with hard labour. The sentence of three months' imprisonment awarded to Lieut. and Adjt.

The Gaol of Newgate. A report by the Rev. F. E. Jones, the ordinary of the gaol of Newgate, in reference to the prison, pre sented by him to the Lord Mayor and Court of Al dermen, and by them ordered to be printed, was yesterday made public. Some of the statements con tained in it are of an interesting character. After observing that it was with some diffidence he ad dressed himself to the task of preparing an annual report, first, on account of the short period which had elapsed since he commenced his duties, and, secondly, because he knew how perspicuous and ex cellent were those reports which came from the talented pen of the late ordinary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Jones says :—" It seems to me that the prisoners may be classified as to their religious and moral con dition, and according to the nature of the offences ; that is to say, particular offences are committed by particular classes, distinct in their habits, tone, and education. Of these, with whom dishonesty is, and always has been, their means of living, these whom I find to be generally the lowest, morally and religiously, are the utterers of counterfeit coin ; as a rule they are dissipated, drunken, and dirty, and they have a great aversion to work or exertion of any kind. They pursue their dishonest course with apparently but one motive, viz:, to obtain in the easiest manner to themselves the means of gra tifying their low and vicious inclinations; they have but little regard for anything or anybody besides themselves. Another class which offers but little chance of reformation is that to which the professed thief belongs, and for this reason. With few excep tions they appear to have abandoned all hope of doing right. They are aware that they have no character, and therefore that there are great diffi culties in the way of obtaining an honest living. Those who leave prison with good intentions , fail ing to get employment, and mee ti n g with old acquaintances in crime, soon relapse into their old habits of dishonesty, the excitemen t of which also lends its charm. Many of these m en can read and with the first o write p lwell,ow publications c t a h t o i their literature deficient i n consistsmoral chieflyand reli giousof of the . very oppo siteslig.ht, picked sentiment, and, generally tendency; their acquaintance very up at principles of religion only in prison. a ragged school, often d They never enter a [place of worship, they have perform any private acts of devotion ; or sense of accountability to Him. I n many cases this condition is the fault of the parents, in many others to their miserable homes, from whence the children are d r iven into the streets to fall victims to the exam ple and influence of the bad com panionsthe meetere. th The rev. gentleman goes on to say t hat i t is his conviction, after many years ' observation and experi ence , s t reng th ene d b y what he had observed in the gaol of Newgate, that more good would be effected if, besides building so many new churches, and sending so many missionaries and Scripture readers into poor populous districts, to adults, amongst whom, comparatively, little success was met with, more schools were to be established, and by these means a greater and more extensive influence, both religious and moral, was brought to bear upon the young and pliable minds of the rising generation ; that this should be followed up as much as possible by improved dwellings for the poor, where space is given, habits of decency may be ob served, and comfort be afforded. As it is, there is no space, no decency, no comfort, so that whatever finer feelings may have been implanted at school the circumstances and habits of home soon destroy. Young lads and girls were driven out of doors in the evening, when their day's work was over, to publichouses, low concerts, and cheap theatres, where drunkenness, vice, and profligacy reigned, and they were the victims. .Another class of offenders RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS• (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of the Hon. Thomas Robert Baron Dims dale, of Camfield-place, near Hatfield, Herts, was proved in London on the 22d Dec. ; the executors appointed being Lucinda Baroness Dimsdale, the relict ; Major-General Henry Mackinnon, the son in-law ; and Mr. George Manning, the brother-in law. The personalty was sworn under £12,000. The will is dated Aug. 27, 1861, and a codicil May 5, 1865. His lordship was the eldest son of the previous Baron Dimsdale, and was authorised to assume in England his Russian title of nobility, to which he succeeded in 1825. He held the office of deputy-lieutenant for Herts, and had been high sheriff for that county, and was a magistrate for Herts and Essex, and for the liberty of St. Albans. He married in 1819, and died on the 21st of November last at the age of 69. His will is dated Aug., 1861, and a codicil, May, 1865. Ho bequeaths to his wife, the baroness, a►ll his property, real and personal (the Camfield estate is entailed upon his four daughters, under deed of re-settle ment.) His real estates are situate in the counties of Herts and Devon. Certain funded property, under marriage settlement, and also under the will of Lady Ximenes, and other reversionary interest, to which his late son, Henry Dimsdale, was entitled, had been transferred to him, which he has bequeathed to his daughter, Finetta Esther Tarleton. He has recom mended, though he does not make it obligatory, that his wife the baroness, should she dispose of the pro perty by will, should do so in the manner he has di rected in his will, had she not survived him. The will of Mr. Fonblanque, Chief Commissioner in the Court of Bankruptcy, formerly residing at St. John's-wood, and late of Brighton, was proved in London on the 28th ult., and the personalty sworn under £7,000. The executors appointed are Mr. Albany Fonblanque, the son ; Mr. Edward William Cox, his son-in-law ; and Mr. Thomas L'Estrange Ewen, of the Inner Temple, barrister. The will is dated Aug. 5, 1865, and the testator died on Nov. 3, at the age of 78. He leaves to his son John an annuity and the portion of his books which he may select ; the rest of his books and the remainder of his property, real and personal, he leaves between his son Albany and his daughter, Rosa Cox, and their children. The will of Mr. Joseph Tussaud, of 58, Baker-street, Portman-square, was proved in London under £40,000 personalty. The execu tors and trustees are Henry Jonathan Riches, soli citor, King's Bench-walk, and William David Kenny, Doctor of Philosophy. The will bears date July 8, 1865, and he died Aug. 15, at the age of 68. The daugher is the principal legatee. There are a few complimentary legacies to the executors and some relatives and friends, and he directs that his daughter should distribute the sum of £2OO in such a manner as she thinks proper amongst the em ploye's in the exhibition in sums not exceeding £lO to each person ; and, as concerns the exhibition of waxwork, the same is to be carried on and con ducted under the terms and covenants of a deed of partnership entered into, in 1864, between himself, his brother Francis, his daughter Louisa E. Kenny, and Joseph Tussaud. He directs that out of his real and personal estate a sum of £7,000 shall be reserved for his two grandchildren, Charles and Anne Abud, the issue of his deceased daughter Mary. The residue of his real and personal estate .-- &Ala zaiu uo.uguter, LOUISA Elizabeth Kenny, the wife of the said Dr. W. D. Kenny. Our trade with America. The following letters have appeared and show the fal lacy of the statements in the Time? City articles that wo aro granting unlimited credit to American merchants : "Jan. 10. "Sir,—l think there has been a very important &elig nored both in your City Article of the Bth inst. and in the leading article of yesterday in regard to our trade with America, which requires correction ; and believing as I do that it has been only an oversight on your part, as no doubt you have only one desire to represent everything fairly to the public, I take the liberty of calling your atten tion thereto. "You have entirely omitted the imports of cotton into Liverpool for the last few months of 1865, which have amounted to 196,149 bales (since the Gth of October to the 31st of December), which, taken at the price of 20d. per lb. (which is considerably below the average), shows a total sterling value received from America of £7,682,502 to the credit of the American trade. "Hoping you will insert this in your first impression, "I am your obedient servant, " W. M. C." " London, Jan. 10. Sir,—False commercial views which load to alarm aro like a false alarm of fire in a crowded theatre, only of far wider injury, and I trust to your sense of what is due to the commercial public, which attaches so much weight to allth that "I find the value of enum erated exports from :Great falls from your pen, to insert th e following re marks Britain to the United Stat es in 1864 and 1865 for the 11 each year to be X 13,300,000, and £14,900,000 re months of s p e ctively, showing an increase of £1,600,000 in 1865 over 1864; and it must be remembered that the last few months of 1864 were months of unusual commercial depression, and restriction of business, so that the increase cannot be con sidered as indicating any unhealthy expansion of trade in this direction. It is quite true that we have received less corn, flour, petroleum, and gold and silv er by a b ou t £6,500,000 in the ten months of 1865 than we did in the corresponding ten months of 1864, but it will be found that the imports of raw cotton from the United States for the 12 months of 1865 aro 162,000 bales, against 970,000 bales in 1861, and that ,this item would balance the account if it does not leave us debtors, the respective values being £15,000,000 and £8,000,000. This does not appear in the Board of Trade tables, which have, I apprehend, misled You ; but it is well known to all merchants and brokers, if not bankers. " We have no means of obtaining the cotton so much needed but by increasing our exports, and if we are to get 100,000 bales a month of American cotton, which is worth at least £3O a bale, or £3,000,000 per month, we must needs export largely, and we have in addition to pay for the corn, flour, petroleum, &e., that we may require to import. " A calm consideration of this view of the trade will, I hope, have the effect of modifying your opinions. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " VERITAS." M. Bouley, one of the commissioners sent by the French Government to investigate the subject of the cattle plague in this country, read a paper last week before the Academy of Medicine, in which he said that, owing to a want of powerful and concentrated action on the part of the Administration, the English graziers, yielding to no other dictates but those of their own pri vate interests, had, immediately on being made aware of the danger with which they were threatened, sent their cattle to the markets, in order to get rid of them at once. The consequence was a most rapid propagation of this cattle typhus, and a mortality of not less than 64,000 head of cattle—an official statement which ho considers below the truth. " England," added M. Bouley, " has come to this pass because she has no confidence in the veterinary art ; nor is this want of confidence quite unreasonable ; for, with the exception of a few dis tinguished men, veterinary science may be said not to exist among our neighbours, owing to the fact that it is completely left to private enterprise." In Holland our author states that the loss was still more considerable, the action of the Government being powerless there as in England. In Belgium, on the contrary, where Govern ment had both the will and the power to interpose, the loss had only amounted to 600 bead of cattle. But it was in France, especially, the prompt, active, and energetic inter ventibn of Government had b een remarkable for its happy results. While the rinderpest had cost England a sum of not less than GOO millions of francs, the loss of Prance is limited to 43 head of cattle, value from 16,000 t o 1 8,000 francs, thanks to the w ise preventive measures adopted by the Administration, agreeably to the advice of men of science, and thanks to the strict execution of those mea - sures. ertikr, "' ,„ LC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS. 7 • 1 44 E, NTS for the Drawing-room, Library, eonsisting of a new and eiegant s.seort 1-41Figures, Groups, Candlesticks, Obelisks, Ink 414._,Peantiful inlaid Tables Paperweights, &0., in Italian, 41 1'S " "- I ' l Marble. bronze, Derbyshire S_par_,_ . ,t e o..
