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 have 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 £1 000 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 famil ies 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.

TnA➢exs.--A correspondent of the West Surrey Times writes :—" I have heard of some excellent takes at the close of the fishing season, espectially in the beautiful piece of water running between the two locks of Moulsey and Sun bury, a distance of about three miles. Ono angler who had been perch fishing for several days took on an average 201 b. of fish each day, one day's capture reaching 331 b. ; others, while fishing with Clark, of Sunbury, have been equally successful. Angling for roach has also been satisfactory, one gentleman taking ten dozen excellent fish in good con dition in one day. There have been some good baskets of perch taken from the neighbourhood of Teddington-lock by some of the fishermen there. The water has been in a bad state for jack fishing, and consequently angling for them has been useless to attempt. The high state of the river has carried shoals of small fry into the ditches, but the assistant river keepers of the Thames Angling Preser vation Society have been employed in returning them to their proper place. It will be satisfactory to those inte rested in fish culture to know that the - young fry in the hatching apparatus at Hampton are doing well, and that they have not in any way suffered from the severity and changeableness of the weather ; but this is not to be won dered at, from the care and interest which Mr. Ponder bestows upon his young. When I was over there on Saturday last I found that that gentleman had received a. box of trout eggs from France in capital condition, and on being placed in the trough looked very healthy. The eggs were very fine, and about the size of those taken from the Thames trout. They were from river trout, which are not of a migratory character." Tan TWEED.—Although the weather is so wintry, yet some keen anglers are not deterred from their favourite sport. On Monday the river bad again got into fair order, after the recent spates and thaws, and some good sport was had. The Rev. Mr. Griffen, in Sprouston Dub, landed eight fish, one a very clean one. Mr. Tyler fished the upper water of Sprouston, but only landed three fish. On Tuesday Mr. Tyler had a good day on the Dub, landing seven fish, one very fine clean salmon 741 b, and to-day he landed two fish. It is somewhat remarkable that out of the above number of fish only four were kelts. The weather is too changeable and severe for the kelts to leave upper waters, and very few have gone down to the sea—they seem waiting for a good fresh flood, which is much desired by anglers. The fish landed and returned to the water were principally very large kippers, from 271 b to 281 b weight. The fishing at Coldstream, both with rod and net, has been very indifferent, the lower waters having had a few fish at each of their stations up to this time; and, as to sport with the rod, very little has been done. On Corn hill water, last week, Edward F. Tyler, Esq., killed a very fine salmon (not on Sprouston water, as was reported last week), and another was also caught below the bridge on Saturday. We hear of little else having been done up the water, excepting a few kelts. Until there is fresh water with a good spate, we will neither have the salmon coming up nor the kelts retiring to the sea, " snaw broo " being no favourite of theirs.—Kelso Mail. LOCH TAY.—This fine loch is yielding very good sport at present, in spite of the weather, which cannot be said to be favourable for salmon fishing. Frost has set in with great intensity, and till milder weather succeed we cannot expect very great sport ; still, what has been already got is much more than we have seen when the weather ap peared more favourable. On Tuesday, Lord tilenorcny was out on the Kenmoro end of the loch, and killed seven splendid salmon. Next day, the Earl of Brcadalbane fished the same part of the loch, and killed five salmon — the largest weighing over 301 b. The sport at the Kfilin end of the loch has been excellent, but the cold weather has prevented many fishermen going up who would other wise have been there. Colonel Vassal], of Culdees Castle, was out from Bridge of Lochy Inn, on Wednesday, the 31st ult., and killed four fine fish. On Tuesday and Wed nesday, Mr. J. Watson Lyall fished the preserved water at the Kula end of the loch. The first day he killed four salmon, weighing 191 b, 181 b, 201 b, and 241 b; and the se cond day three fine fish, 181 b, 211 b, and 251 b. We advise all who wish to get good spring fishing for salmon to pay a visit to Loch Tay. TEE EARN.—Very little has been done on the Earn for the last fortnight, and now the state of the weather puts all chance of sport out of the question for some time to come. -•• • - - TEE Isla.—Wednesday, the 28th, was a bitterly cold day, with frequent and heavy snow showers, and blinks of bright sun glazing the water. A very few anglers were on the water, but nothing was taken excepting a few kelts, which were returned. March has opened proverbially boisterous—a heavy snow-storm having again covered the banks of the river to a great depth. The day was cold, with a biting east wind ; water in pretty good ply, and not too great volume, which has been too much the case lately. Notwithstanding the extreme coldness of the weather, some enthusiastic fishers were upon the river, but were unsuccessful. Friday was frosty in the' morning, with a stiff easterly breeze ; but about mid-day a decided thaw came on, and put some fishers on the move to try their luck, which, we are sorry to say, was very indifferent. Saturday the 3rd, was the best fishing day we have had for some time. The weather having changed to fresh brought to the river's banks a great many anglers, though snow lay deeply; the water was in splendid body and colour—the best ply of water throughout the season, so far as it has gone. Not withstanding the goodness of the day, and splendid con dition of the river, only a very few trout were taken, and no clean fish; several kelt were captured and returned. During the first month's fishing, now concluded, within a distance of many miles up and down the stream, not ono single clean salmon has been landed. A number of kelts have been taken and returned, and a few good baskets of yellow trout have been made ; no trout of more than what may be called moderato size has deen basketed. The sum total of the month has beon most discouraging to anglers. Tho nets have not yet been upon tho river. Good trout fishing need not be looked for for some time, as there is a vast quantity of snow on the hills ; and until it be melted and down the water, much success need not be anticipated. On Monday, hard frost prevailed. A few anglers were again on the water, which was in good ply, but we hoard of no success. THE TWEED AND TEVlOT.—During the past week, al though the wintry nature of the weather has been very unfavourable for out-door sports, several ardent sportsmen have been pursuing their favourite recreation with con siderable success. The kelts have been very numerous, and furnishing, 'in some instances, good sport by their vigorousruns. Mr. Tyler, of London, killed a clean trout on Thursday in the Sprouston Water. In the same water and on the same day, Colonel Cathcart landed several fish, but no clean salmon, while Lord Dunglass landed seven unseasonable fish, and killed two clean salmon, weighing respectively 71b and 91b. Eleven clean salmon in all have now been taken on the llissel Water. On Saturday, the Rev. Mr. Griffith, Durham, killed a clean salmon, 131 b in weight, and another weighing 281 b. In the Teviet, on the same day, Mr. John Michie killed a clean trout, and he and some other gentlemen had fair sport in running kelts.—Perthshire Journal. NEW GOLD MINES,--A number of California miners have emigrated to Chow and Barbaeoas, about 500 miles south of Panama, to work the gold mines there.— California paper. LOCH LATRINE AND GLASGOW.—ShortIy after the completion of the Glasgow Loch Latrine works, when the full amount of interest on the capital came to be paid, and before the expansion of the supply for trading purposes had had time to develop itself, the domestic rate in Glasgow rose to is. 4d in the pound on the north side of the river, where the power of assessment was unlimited ; but now we have all over a shilling rate, with a consump tion of nearly 50 gallons per head of the finest water sup plied to any city in the world.—Daily Mail. FADTERTISEMENT.i—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— There is no question whatever that rheumatism, neuralgia, and such like painful maladies are more rife this season than for some years past. The number of testimonials of cures effected by Holloways remedies is unprecedented, and should be enforced on the attention of all sufferers from these complaints. The parts in pain should. bo fomented for some minutes with warm brine, dried, and immediately well rubbed with the ointment. It will pass into the pores of the skin and give the greatest relief. Many valuable lives are annually lost, which might be saved if early recourse in illness were made to these re markable remedies, which must necessarilyprove beneficial and cannot do harm. lite- h) will at this meeting submit for the' appro • of SO clis era several additions and amendmen ''' .4.: '.i :_,% ah ..

It is TIMES.—As for the particular proposals of the Government' Reform Bill it would be unreJsonable to feel and insincere to profess any fear of them. A Conservative Government has proposed a £lO occu pation franchise in counties supplemented by a savings-bank franchise, and no one can now be alarmed at a £l4 qualification. Mr. Gladstone was careful to assure his audience last night that he him self would not have been frightened at a £lO occu pation franchise, although the proposal of the Go vernment was that a £l4 franchise should be adopted, and then only when thequalification arose • respect in of the occupation of a house with or without land, and not of land alone. The distinction is evidence , -distrust, and the selection of such an odd .. seemed inexplicable until the borough ,ffOrded some explanation of it. But the ,nchise is not to rest there. Depositors of ings-banks for two years are to be added; Ladstone makes light °flans addition, be- Links few people would take the trouble of , annual claim which be believes would be to keep alive the savings-bank qualifica - is, however, one of the many slight evi dences the speech afforded that the proposals which have been presented as an instalment on the ground of due deliberation have really been hastily adopted that such a notion as this of annual claims should be entertained. Mr. Gladstone addressed last'night a crumb of comfort to the Opposition by reminding them that an admission of working men to the fran chise was not unfavourable to Conservative candi dates, but he did not venture to akirralit4 own sup porters by telling them that, when working men formed half the voters, Conservative members bore to Liberals the proportion of nearly three to one. This is what the returns of Saturday prove to be the case in the present constituencies, and, unless the constituencies themselves be altered, there is no rea son to suppose that this will not continue to be the case. The Conservative party might well make a feint of opposition to the present bill, knowing that if it pass the small boroughs are their own. We, who do not desire such an end, cannot approve the means which would insure it. If we have no sym pathy with those who proteit that the present sys tem of representation leaves nothing to be desired, we have less with those who would only alter it to make it worse. Above all, we must look further into the future than men can do whose only objects are the triumphs of to-day. POST.—When Mr. Gladstone, in the peroration of an address the delivery of which occupied two hours and a half, deprecated the opposition alike of those who might consider that the Government had done too much, and of those who might think that they had done too little, by their scheme of Parlia mentary Reform, on the ground that they had at all events done their best, he advanced what is perhaps the most substantial justification of the general scope arid tendency of the Ministerial measure. It is notoriously difficult, if not impossible, to please all parties, and if no other objection can be taken to the new Reform Bill than that it will fail to give universal satisfaction, it may be regarded as no un usual piece of legislation. But without venturing at the present moment to discuss with particularity its merits or demerits, we apprehend that the new bill, at least in its present form, will fail to satisfy the cravings of those who expected that it would furnish at least a temporary settlement of a great question. We can never hope to pass a Reform Bill which may not need modification in the course of two or three generations, but it would seem to require no great effort of legislative wisdom to frame one which might satisfy the requireMents of the generation by which it was passed. The Reform Act of 1832 was accepted by the nation without serious demur for a quarter of a century, but the man would be indeed sanguine who anticipated that the present measure, if carried, would prove equally successful. The basis of qualification for the fran chise continues to be a property one, and education, unless coupled with the substantial goods of this world, is still ignored. The distribution of seats remains undisturbed. In a word, the new Reform Bill simply extends the franchise, for the most part by lowering it, and adds largely to the numbers of the electoral body. That such would be one of the results of the new measure every one expected, but then it must also be said that we expected some thing more. HERALD.--It is quite certlfia -- that even if Mr. Gladstone's general estimate should be correct the working classes would in a number of boroughs have absolute power. The inevitable result of . the operation of this bill wou ld b e t o g i ve them that absolute power in all boroughs in a yery short time. Mr. Gladstone professed to stand aghast at the transfer of power involved in a£6 borough franchise. In two or three years— certainly before this Parliament would expire by effiux of time—most of the houses the gross esti mated rental of which is now £6 will advance into the £7 class, and their occupiers would be put upon the register as a matter of course. The gradual but sure increase in rent, prices, and wages, is already adding every year a number of working men to our large borough constituencies. It is adding them in a safe and beneficial manner. The Government bill, on the other hand, would at once give the working classes complete control in the boroughs, and would inevitably have for its effect the most mischievous results. It is not, however, in the pro visions which the Government bill contains that the radical and fatal objection to it lies. These pro visions might be modified; perhaps the Govern ment might show itself as ready to accept a restric tive amendment as Mr. Gladstone somewhat singu larly reminded the house last night it professed itself in 1860. The conclusive, the inseparable ob jection to the bill is, that it does not even propose to settle the question, and that to pass it would 1 merely be to throw the country into a feverish and mischievous struggle for the redistribution of par- liamentary power. DAILY NEWS.—SO far as could be judged, the rece ption given last night to the Government mea sure was encouraging. I f the bill did not raise en thusiasm, it met with approval from all real re formers. The objections urged against it were for the greater part self-refuting, or had been refuted beforehand by Mr. Gladstone. The reasons which he gave for not dealing with the vast and compli cated question of the redistribution of scats were not invalidated by Mr. Laing's recitation of notori ous anomalies. The argument of the member for Wick that no change is required, and that therefore a great measure of change should have been pro posed, needs only to be stated to be judged. As little consistent were those who urged in the same breath as an objection to the measure that it was not accompanied by a scheme of redistribution, and, as a reproach to it, that it would be inevitably followed by such a scheme. These critics can be happy neither with nor without a project of redis tribution. The truth is that:the measure will be op posed by them on various pretexts, but from one motive—because it is a genuine Reform Bill; and it should be earnestly supported by all true Liberals on the same sufficient ground. ADVERTISER.—We cannot anticipate success for a scheme based on compromise, growing, year by year, less and less liberal. The measure offered by Mr. Gladstone is a smaller one than was offered by Lord John Russell in 1852 and in 1860 ; and in one important point it is less liberal than the Con servative Bill of 1859. It has, too, the capital fault of being only a portion of a measure. Reform in 1831-2, and in 1852, and in 1860, always meant a complete plan for the reconstitution of the House of Commons. But now what is offered to us is merely a Franchise Bill, to be followed next year by some other fraction, and the year after b l y n '! third. We feel certain that the people of E t n o g a a the will be in favour of no such . delay. ti A r s e in one imossibility of passing an entire sessionlB32 nor n w s o n u e l h d impossibility in 1859, iflorßut again we cite impossibility r.d Derdbyß li u , h a s s as cv d ici e r a e i s f a mo i n du e n d ndo o t f a nn i y n_ terposed his party opposition.n It is not three months Mr. Bright's declaration.

TILE ANGLO-AMERICAN TIDIES" ON TILE UNITED STATES. --Among the multitudinous propositions to amend the Constitution of the United States which are now before Congress is one which has the rare merit of not being political. It is to reform the national name, so that instead of being the "United States of America" it shall hereafter be "America." The idea is not a new one. It has been broached frequently before, and advocated by scholars and historians without avail. During the Revolution " Columbia" was the popular name of the North American continent ; when Hopkinson: wrote his song, " Hail, Columbia, Happy Land," he did so in obedience to this feeling, and because " Hail, United States, Happy Land," or " lands," would have seemed awkward. In various other. songs once popular, such as " Rise, Columbia , B rave and So on down to the modern times, when " Columbia, i s l a a i s ne no n t name waswith parsesmeruvechd the Gera of the O cean, " made its appearame, the f i k n i v o s u o r n , g f . o r , " e A x c m e p e t r e t a he e e n n e ve r madeh a o d f a t I \ l v a i t d e n a c i i n r e c u a y t i l o y n r , i s b t s u . t P i t t h l i e l u s o s e_ song, " God Bless A mer i ca, " and one or two others, whi b have proposed for th e U n i ted States su'A has r c bs h names as "Appalachia" and " Alleghenia" but their arguments have been in vain. T o b e a citizen of the United States" is the only distinction which Americans have cared to boast about, and if called Americans they feel that the title is only par tially di s i nc ti v3 . '111 , 7. United States are not " America" in the full sense of the word, whik.l l applies to both continents. A Canadian is an, American ; so is a Peruvian or a Brazilian ; and b y taking the name of America to themselves, th e people of the United States coolly exclude the in habitants of American States and Provinces far ex ceeding, in the amount of territory occupied, that portion of the continent which is occupied by them. To call a citizen of the United States an America , 4 can only give a correct idea of his nationality if the title were restricted to their own people. But a Mexican is an American, and a Russian of the North-west is one also, and an inhabitant of New foundland is equally entitled to the distinction. Mr. Anderson argues that " the term United States is not sufficiently comprehensive and significant to indicate the real unity and destiny of the Ame rican people." And why not ? Assured] " unity" is i n di cated by the words " United Stater,,, and as for the " destiny" of a country, we are unable to perceive how that can be foretold by a geographical name. It is true there are other United States—for instance, " the United States of Colombia" and " the United States of Mexico," but, except in official paper s , th ey are called, .' :.1 10/4.„, ".Colombiarand "Mexico." There is no aggr..i gation of proviucca, to which thi , -7title Unit Cd- - is applied systematically, speaking, but that which is governed from ash -W ington. The name is thoroughly distinctive for that reason ; and what may be occasionally done for the sake of avoiding tautology by the use of the word American constitutes no reason why the people of the United States should give up a tit for their country which was given to it by thei r fathers, and which they have grown up to reverence and cherish. Washington's Birthday. NAPLES, March 2, 1866. The American visitors and residents in this city celebrated their national anniversary, on the 22d of February, by a dejeuner at the, Hotel de Russie. The large and handsome salocin of the hotel was draped at either end with American flags, and on either side with the national standard of Italy ; and flowers, of which Naples can now boast so great a profusion, variety, and beauty, ar ranged in garlands, festoons, and bouquets, added to the fine effect of the saloon and tables. The company was seated soon after 11 o'clock, an early hour having been selected with reference to their convenience as travellers ; and the breakfast, in its appointments and service was every way creditable to the hotel. The music provided was of unusual excellence. The band, numbering twenty performers, belonged to the Second Legion of the Naples National Guard. The American national airs were rendered by them in a most spirited manner, with a true appreciation of their light and shade. The chair was taken by Mr. John Jay, of New York, assisted by E. D. Stanton, Esq., of New York, and other gentlemen. Mr. JAY, in addressing the assembly, congratu lated them that on that day, in every capital in 1 Europe, assemblies similar to theirs would meet together to commemorate the birthday of the Father of his Country. But, he said, there was hardly a. spot in the world where such a commemoration could arouse more interesting thoughts than come spon taneously to the American, in this heart of ancient " Italia," amid the monuments of ages long past, of tribes and of nations almost forgotten. We stand close to the buried cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, whose origin is lost in fable ; around us are the monuments of Phonicia, and of Greece, and on every side the ruins that recall the sad and wondrous history of Rome, the gran deur of its pride, the beauty that clings to it in decay, and the glorious remains of ancient art that survive to certify its Imperial splendour. How in contrast with these Italian scenes and memories rise the bold features of our Western home with its less genial climate and more rugged soil; its uni versal freedom, political and religious ; its hardy, intelligent, energetic population; each man of whom knows that he is a free citizen, and composing to gether a sovereignty such as the world has never seen till now. (Applause.) Mr. JAY described, in eloquent terms, the feeling of European peoples with referenee to the late struggle in America. The aristocrats of Europe announced, when the war began, that our national career was ended, our nationality dissolved, and that the short-lived meteor of Republicanism had vanished as suddenly as it arose. As the war ad vanced upon a scale without precedent or parallel, these gentlemen made it still clearer that our Union was utterly wrecked, and hopelessly insolvent ; and when at last the war approached its close, and those who had believed their rash prophecies looked to be hold the scattered fragments of a broken empire, the smoke lifted from the battle-fields of America and disclosed the Republic of Washington, purified and invigorated, one and indivisible ; with the old flag floating in unchallenged majesty from ocean to ocean, with no stripe erased, and no star missing. Instead of wreck, and ruin, and desolation, they saw strength, harmony, and union, and throughout the extent of our wide empire, wherever the war had raged, they found that nothing was broken but the manacle of the slave. (Cheers.) Surely Ameri cans, with all becoming respect for the teaching of European universities, and the able statesmanship of European Cabinets, may venture henceforth to doubt their infallibility on American questions, and may be permitted, without too much regard to the advice or the wishes of the ruling classes on this side the Atlantic, to cast for themselves their own horoscope, and to decide for themselves their own destiny. The following letter, addressed by General Gari baldi to the United States Consul at Naples, was then read : Caprora, 13th February, 1866.

A WONDERFUL BULLET.—I ha d j ust been order ing our men not to waste their ammunition, and to fire only when they saw the person of a Yankee completely exposed, when close at hand I heard the dull thud of a bullet striking home, and turning round saw one of our soldiers, a gallant young fellow whom I knew well, throw up his arms and fall heavily to the ground. Dismounting at once, I hastened to his side ; but finding that the ball had struck him right in the middle of the forehead I re garded him as a corpse, an d deemed all further assistance wholly unnecessary. Not many minutes had ela p sed, however, before the apparently dead man began to move, and w hen the surgeon, who bad already arrived, poured some brandy down his throat to our infinite amazement he opened his eyes. A few hours later, miraculous to relate, when the bleeding from the wound had ceased, he had recovered sufficiently from the severe shock to re turn to his post of duty. According to the surgeon's statement the ball, striking obliquely, had glanced, pass -1 ing betwe en cuticle and skull, all found the head, emer ging at last from the very place it h d afirst entered.— Blackwood's Magazine.
