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 £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT, D.D No. 22, Finsbury-circus, E.C. DONORS AND SUBSCRIBERS TO THE REFUGE.

His attention had not been drawn to the matter until he had seen the notice of the hon. gentleman.

The LORD CHAMBERLAIN brought up her Majesty's re ply to the address of their lordships agreed to on Tuesday. Ho read the document in so low a tone as to be inaudible in the reporters' gallery. However, from the portions of the text which were heard, it contained the usual thanks for the loyalty exhibited in the address. THE GAME LAWS. The Duke of ARGYLL laid a petition on tho table in reference to the game laws, and praying for their aboli tion as a prolific sourco of strife between landlord and tenant. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. In reply to observations on the part of noble lords, in which the Government was accused of throwing cold water on the scientific inquiries that were instituted as to the homceopathic treatment of cattle adopted in Holland with success, Earl GRANVILLE vindicated the conduct of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the subject. Earl SPENCER followed on the same side, and said that the Government were in possession of information stating that the Dutch treatment was not successful. THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES. Lord CHELMSFORD asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs for the latest information he had received as to the condition of Consul Cameron and the other prisoners in Abyssinia; what progress Mr. Rassam had made in his mission; and whether any and what efforts had been made in addition to Mr. Rassam's mission to procure their liberation. It was a long time since a British consul had been loaded with chains and subjected to indignity and imprisonment, and there was a time when such an outrage on a represen tative of the country would have roused public indigna tion and obtained immediate redress. The Emperor of Abyssinia was on friendly terms with Consul Cameron, and with a view to cement the friendly feeling with this country, addressed a letter to her Majesty in 1863, which was not answered until 16 months afterwards. Ile com plained of the indifference shown to the fate of a public servant, and the injudicious proceedings of the Foreign Office ; and further inquired what progress had been made by Mr. Rassam in his mission to the Emperor Theodore and whether other efforts wore making for the liberation of the prisoners. The Earl of CLARENDON deeply sympathised. with the sufferings of Mr. Cameron and his unfortunate com panions, but protested against the unnecessary acrimony of Lord. Chelmsford's remarks. lie attributed the impri sonment of Consul Cameron to his meddling in the affairs of the country, and not to the fact of no answer having been received to the Emperor's letter to the Queen. If a large and important mission were sent out, it would pro bably share the fate of Captain Cameron. Letters had, ho wevor, been lately received from Massowah by way of Aden, and dated the 6th of December, which, although they gild not announce the release of the captives, stated that Consul Cameron was alive, but that the Emperor had gone away to pursue some rebels, and taken his English prisoners with him. In ono of his letters Mr. Rassam still expressed hopes of a successful result ; and another from Consul Cameron himself gave a favourable account of the health of the captives, with the exception of Mr. Rosenthal, who was unwell. To a question of Lord BATEMAN, Earl RUSSELL replied that the Homo Secretary had not given a final answer to the, deputation from the cattle plague conference, but would state the views and inten tions of the Government on bringing in a bill next Monday. The Earl of DERBY complained that instead of taking the lead the Government had feebly waited to ascertain what would be agreeable to the country. Earl SPENCER regretted that the Government had not on its own authority carried out the recommendations of the Royal commissioners, and earnestly hoped that the movement of live cattle would be stopped until the Ist of April next. Earl GRANVILLE bore testimony to the value of the commissioners' report and the information they had col lected. Noble lords who recommended the stoppage of live traffic could hardly realise the difficulty, if not the im practicability, of carrying out such a measure. A few remarks from Earl PonTEscuE and the Earl of AIRLIE brought the discussion to a close, and their lord ships adjourned shortly before 8 o'clock. .......... •,.• HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. Mr. BALNES presented a petition from Leeds, praying for a large and liberal enlargement of the franchise. UNDUE RETURNS. A petition was presented complaining of an undue re- I turn for Totnes. A petition was also presented complaining of an undue return for the borough of Boston. SAVINGS BANKS. Mr. HENLEY moved for returns, in continuation of Parliamentary Paper No. 250, of session 1865, of accounts relating to savings banks for the year ending the 20th day of November, 1864.—Ordered. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Mr. W. LESLIE said, in consequence of notice given by the Government to introduce a bill on the subject on Mon day, he should abstain from putting the question which stood on the paper in his name fer that evening. LAW OF HYPOTHEC. Mr. CARNEGIE asked the Lord Advocate if it was his intention to bring in any measure in regard to the law of hypothec in Scotland ? The LORD ADVOCATE said it was his intention to bring in such a measure. FENIANISM. Mr. WATKINS gave notice of his intention on an early day to ask the Government what representations had been made by the Government of the United States to the Government of this country relative to the Fenian organi sation which existed in America. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. Mr. CHAMBERS gave notice that on the 6th of March he should move for leave to bring in a bill to legalise mar riage with a deceased wife's sister. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. BERKELEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in conjunction with the infor mation recommended to be procured in her Majesty's Speech in reference to the rights of voting in the elec tions of members to serve in Parliament, it would not be deemed necessary by her Majesty's Government to in quire into the causes which at present prevent so large a portion of the electors from voting, and encourage so large a portion to traffic with the franchise ; and whether such an inquiry was not necessary previous to the creation of a reform bill ? Sir G. GREY said her Majesty's Government had only called for information to enable them to bring in a bill on the subject which they had thought necessary. VOTING RETURNS. Viscount CRANBOURNE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he would state to the house the exact nature of the returns upon the subject of the rights of voting which are in course of collection by the Government ? Sir G. GREY said various returns were being completed, and they would bo laid on the table of the house without the least delay. Hon. members had better wait to see what those returns were. GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was not by accident and inadvertence that in giving notice lately of intended motions, by Government precedence, he fixed one of them for a members' ballot night, Tuesday, 13th ; and whether he had any intention of claiming any right on the part of the Government to give such notice for Tuesdays, THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. Sir J. PAKINGT ON said, seeing the right hon. gentle man the President of the Board of Trade in his place, he bogged to ask him whether it was true that a lawyer who had attended the inquiry on behalf of the relatives of some of the sufferers was precluded from cross-examining the witnesses ; if so, what steps were to be taken for the safety of passengers in emigrant ships ? Mr. M. GIBSON said he had not received any informa tion on the matter; he would, however, make inquiry and give the hon gentleman a full answer. COLLECTION OF TAXES. Mr. C. FORSTER asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether it was his intention, in the present session, to reintroduce the measure which he proposed in the ses sion of 1864 relating to the collection of taxes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the present system of the collection of the Queen's taxes was highly objectionable, and he was of opinion that they ought to be taken into the hands of the Government. Her had introduced a bill on the subject, but it was objected to at the time on the ground that it was an attempt to in crease the system of centralisation. At the first favour able indication that such a system ought to be adopted he should be happy to re-introduce such a bill. FENIANIS3I. Col. NORTH asked the Judge Advocate General why Drum-Major Farrell, Ist battalion 2d Queen's Regiment, and Sergeant Butter, 99th Regiment, had not been brought to trial, either before a military or civil tribunal, for the alleged offence of drilling parties of Fenians? Mr. HEADLAM said the men would bo placed on their trial in a few days. The delay had been occaskmed by the absence of several material witnesses in the civil trial which had taken place in Dublin. The motion for the adjournment was then agreed to. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. _ The report upon the Address on the Queen's Speech was brought up. JAMAICA. Sir J.PAKINGTON, on the motion that it be received, said he was sure the house would grant him a few minutes while he directed its attention to a subject which, although mentioned in the Speech from theThrone,had not been re ferred to except in the observations that had fallen from the mover and seconder of the Address. Ile could not say how much he regretted the observations that had been made in many quarters with respect to the unhappy transactions that had taken place in Jamaica. (Hear, hear.) He thought the various matters had been most unfairly dealt with, and that the conduct of various officers had been discussed, prejudged, and condemned by men who had not the means at their command or any evidence in their posses sion which could enable them to come to a correct judgment. No gentleman had been more vio lent in his denunciation of the officers in Jamaica than the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright). In a speech lately delivered at Rochdale ho characterised the whole of the trials that had taken place in Jamaica as a mass of irregularities—that Gordon had been murdered, and that those guilty of the crime should be placed at the bar as criminals, to take their trials for their misdeeds. The most unjustifiable language had been used, and he could scarcely trust himself while he made reference to the matter. Murder was a foul crime, but so also was a foul accusation, and he could not sufficiently express the feelings he had experienced in hearing such accusations as those that had been brought against Governor Eyre. Governor Eyre was a gentleman known by repute to many members of that house as an able and valuable public a Vent, and if ho had one quality over another for which he was remarkable, it was the humanity, kindness, and good feeling with which ho had treated the native races in Jamaica. He did not think it either fair or honourable that such a man as Governor Eyre was to be branded with the crime of murder without the slightest proof. (Hear.) He thought it was but right that Governor Eyre should know that there were parties in the British House of Commons desirous of doing him justice, and that they did not sym pathise in the harsh conclusions which had been passed upon his conduct. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. baronet, having touched upon some other topics mentioned in the Queen's Speech, resumed his sent amidst considerable cheering. Mr. BRIGHT rose not to complain of the censure cast upon him by the right hon. baronet opposite, as it had boon his fate to labour under that censure on many occa sions. He did not prejudge Governor Eyre, he took his own words, and he felt there was not a judge on the Eng lish bench who would not say that Mr. Gordon had been murdered. (Hear, hear.) Ile thought the Go vernment had been right in appointing the commission, not that it had been done too soon, but that it had been delayed too long. He was content to leave the matter in the hands of ;the commissioners, feeling certain that jus tice would be done. In all the speeches he had made, and they had not been a few there were none to which he more firmly held than those referring to the lamentable subject now before the house; and to his last hour he would adhere to every word he had uttered on the subject of Jamaica. He had nothing to retract, and if the same horrible atrocities were to be perpetrated again to-morrow, he would, if God gave him the power, again denounce them with more burning indignation, if he had the power, as he considered such acts to be a foul blot on the character of English Governors. Mr. MARSH thought there was no necessity or want of a Reform Bill, and said he should oppose any lowering of the franchise. Mr. CARD WELL—Sir, I am sure the house will agree that it would be exceedingly wrong in me to desire to con tinue the discussion which has arisen with respect to Ja maica. All I rise to say is that, like the hon. baronet op posite, I have known Governor Eyre only by tho reputa tion he has obtained and preserved in the service. When I first hoard by telegram through the Milted States of America that these deplorable events had taken place, I sent for the Governor of Barbadoes, who happened to be in this country, and asked him if he could give me any assistance in explaining what these transactions could mean. His reply was, " I can give no assistance in the solution of this enigma. I can tell you, if the circumstances were such as seriously to alarm Governor Eyre, they must have been circumstances of great moment." (Hear, hear.) He added that Governor Eyre was a man of courage and humanity. (Hear, hear.) I feel it my duty to avoid saying anything that shall prejudge the quesion, either in his favour or against him ; but I do think meanwhile that the know ledge of that reputation which Governor Eyre has hereto fore maintained should not, be kept back (Hear, hear.) With regard to the mode in which the conduct we have pursued has been spoken of both by the hon. baronet opposite and the hon. member for Birmingham, nothing that has fallen from them calls for particular reply or remark from me. They appear both to agree in the main in the course that has been pursued by the Government, and if the right hon. baronet thinks that we were a little too precipitate, and if the hon. member for Birmingham thinks we were not rapid enough, lam willing not to enter into that part of the subject, but will leave it to the future consideration and judgment of the house. There is one point on which I wish to set the right hon. baronet right. He says, what has frequently been said, that he is afraid too much influence has been exercised upon the course which has been pursued, by pressure put upon us, par ticularly by a certain deputation to which he took occasion to refer. The fact is, when the deputation waited on us, Sir Henry Storks was on his way from Malta, having re ceived from me information of his appointment. Sir G. GREY, rising in explanation of a previous speech, said—l wish to say a word as to what fell from the right hon. member for Droitwich as to the construc tion of what I said in answer to a question. I said I agreed in the opinion that it is very undesirable that the question of reform should be kept dangling as a party question before the house and before the country from year to year. I think he said the answer I gave was that it was a matter of complete uncertainty whether a bill founded on the information we had yet to receive would be presented this year or next year. I intend to give riso to no such uncertainty. What I said in answer to the question meant, whatever the expression might be, that until the day for the introduction of the bill had been fixed, and until we were in a condition to lay the information before the House, it was impossible to say what that interval might be. However the Go vernment might be agreed on the principles of the bill they could not lay the details before the house until the information was complete. If it had been complete when Parliament met, the paragraph in the speech would have been in different terms. That paragraph pledges the Go vernment to give information to the house at the earliest period, and to bring in a bill founded on that information in the present session. Mr. BOUVERIE observed that he was glad to learn that the Government intended to stand or fall by the contem plated Reform Bill. He hoped, however, that it would prove to .be a measure worth standing or falling by. A mere lowering of the franchise in counties and-boroughs- PRICP 4d. STAMPED 5d would not ho a satisfactory adjustment of the great ques tion of political reform. The distribution of political power was the main consideration to be kept in view, and he was persuaded that if the Government brought in nothing but but a single-barrelled Reform Bill it would not be accepted by the country, and a golden opportunity for a thorough and comprehensive settlement of the question would be lost. Sir H. HOARE advocated the necessity of a measure which would provide for the redistribution of seats and the abolition of nomination and rotten boroughs. Mr. NEATE was of opinion that the measure should embrace an extension of the franchise and a redistribution of seats and the extinction of a considerable number of boroughs. But it was a different question whether the whole should be brought in at one time. He preferred seeing the questions separated, and would even go so far as to introduce one measure relating to counties, and another to boroughs. After a few words from Mr. P. TArLor the Address was agreed to. - The CHANCELLDR of the EXCHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the' Savings Banks and Post Office Savings Banks Acts. The committee on public accounts was nominated, and the hoWe adjourned at 10 minutes to seven o'clock. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OP THE NORTH AMERICAN. NEW Youx, Jan. 27, Evening. New Orleans despatches report that information has been received there from Mexico, according to which the French troops will not bo withdrawn until Maximilian is declared free from any danger of American intervention. The commander of the French fleet off Bagdad protested iu the name of the French Government against the occu pation of that town by Federal troops, and those which were sent over for the protection of American citizens were thereupon withdrawn.

Per the " Scotia" we have advices from New York to the 23rd inst. The uncertainty still prevailing as to the course likely to be adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury with a view to the restoration of specie pay ments unsettled the general Markets, Government stocks alone being reported steadily in demand at slightly ad vanced rates. The business in railroad shares was almost entirely confined to speculative transactions, the continued diminution in the traffic receipts inducing a belief 'that dividends cannot be maintained at former rates ; still the abundance of money at 5 per cent. brought forward some few buyers, and quotations of most Stocks show a slight advance. Railroad Bonds and State Stocks were neglected. Gold remains steady at 1391. Via " Greencastle," we have received the following quotations, being to the 27th inst. United States 5.20's 1021 I Erie Common B4l Illinois Central ll6xd I Gold 1391 TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES. In the statistics of the New York Cattle Market of 1865 we find the following returns of the number of bullocks, furnishedby the various States and Canada, which are as follows : Illinois 100,978 Massachusetts... 788 New York Ohio 20,687 New Jersey 257 Kentucky ... 9,513 Vermont Michigan 8,056 Nebraska lOB Indiana lowa Pennyslvania 2,718 Maino Connecticut 2,151 Rhode Island Missouri From this it will bo seen that a very large proportion (considerably more than half) has boon furnished by the State of Illinois, or rather has been supplied from the market of Chicago, at which point the cattle reared in lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, and other States west of the Mississippi are concontmted for sale. The magnitude of the cattle trade of Chicago may be judged of by the fact that, last autumn, when our Mr. Satterthwaite was in that city, the inhabitants were just about finishing a cattle market, fitted up with pens, some covered, others open, drained throughout, lighted_with gas, the whole floored with three inch boarding, and covering au extent of forty-seven acres; there was also a large hotel, and other buildings for conducting the busi ness of the market, the whole extent of land secured being about 500 acres. It it. probably the largest and most com plete market to be found in any part of the world. Tho statistics above given confirm what the promoters of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad have all along stated, that the cattle trade mould form one of the most important sources of revenue, and it must be evident that with an unbroken six-foot gauge from Chicago to New York, nearly every head of cattle passing between these points must pass over this rail. When the great number of barrels of flour and of pickled pork which pass between Chicago and New York is taken into consideration, and the quantity of Indian corn to be moved in bulk is almost unlimited; it is, we think, evident that a railroad forming a direct unbroken line between the two cities of Chicago and Now York would have a largely remunerative busi ness from the traffic alone ;in fact-it appears to us of so much importance that we think the Atlantic and Great Western Railway ought to strain every nerve to endeavour to. complete so magnificent an enterprise. The following extract from a letter dated Chicago, 17th January, 1866, affords additional confirmation of the views above given : • "If grain could be carried by rail from Chicago to New York at 50 cents per 1001bs., and flour at one dollar per barrel, it would Induce such quantities of grain to be for warded during the winter as would tax the road to its utmost ability. During last week the different lines were carrying grain in bags to Now York at 65 cents, which had the effect of calling forth such very heavy shipments that the lines have advanced the rate to 80 cents ; this figure has cut off the grain shipments, but the increasing carriage of pork and beef make up for the falling off in .that article. I mention this circumstance to show what' a line between this city and Now York under one management might do. It is a trade the railroads have never attempted except in a small way, in sacks ; but the fact remains, that if it could be forwarded in bulk, and at the rate mentioned, or even at 30 per cent. more, any line, having a continuous gauge, would reap a rich harvest never attempted by any of the existing lines." Notwithstanding the depression of other markets in the Stock Exchange since our last, American Securities have remained firm. United States 5.20 Bonds have been in fair demand for investment, both in the London Market and for European account; and in the absence of any large shipments from America have advanced only one per cent., closing at 67f to f. Both Illinois and Erie Shares remain steady at previous quotations, the former being last quoted 75 to and the latter 531 to f. For Virginia Sixes there has been some inquiry at an improvement of $l, but they are like all other Stocks, considerably below the New York quota tions. The First and Second Mortgage Bonds of the Atlantic and Great Western h ave rece d e d one, and the Debentures about a half per cent. N.B.—After official hours the delivery of telegrams from New York to the 27th inst., reporting flat markets, depressed both Illinois and Erie Shares, the last prices being 74f to 75 ; and 521 to 53/ respectively. United Statss 5.20 Bonds were unchanged.

Improved Dwellings for the Working Classes. Last "night a public meeting was held at the Lambeth Baths to receive the report of a commit tee, appointed for the purpose of aiding in the for mation of a company to improve working men's homes. In the absence of the Earl of Shaftesbury, who was announced to preside, but was unable to attend, the chair was taken by the Marquis of Townshend. The chairman having briefly dwelt upon the importance of the subject for consideration, the secretary of the committee (Mr. W. H. Robin son) read the report, which was of a most elaborate character. It stated that attention had been prin cipally directed to four questions—firstly, what kind Of house accommodation was most required ; se condly, would the building of houses to be rented in tenements for the occupation of working men prove sufficiently remunerative as a means of invest ing their savings ; thirdly, in the event of a company being formed, was it probable that sufficient land could be obtained in and near London ? fourthly, under what conditions and management should the company be formed ? With respect to the kind of house accommodation, the committee were of opinion that houses were most wanted in situations as near as possible to the heart of London, so as to suit those who were required by the necessities of their daily life to reside near their work. The plans suggested to the committee comprised designs -for buildings which could be let in sets of two, three, four, or five rooms, so as to provide for the accommodation of respectable persons of all grades who now usually live in lodgings. As regards questions as to whe ther the buildings would pay, the committee be lieved that no reason had ever been alleged why the * occupation of apartments for which higher rents proportionately were paid than for an entire house, should not be equally remunerative to the landlords. Calculations respecting the cost and rental of the proposed buildings seemed fairly to show that while the houses would contain no less comfort than others, they were likely to prove much cheaper in cost of erection. With regard to the procuring land in suitable localities, it was thought that, without some legislative measures, the want of large quantities of land would oblige any com pany for erecting improved dwellings to conduct its operations on a scale of much less magnitude than the necessities of London demanded. Bearing this fact in mind, the committee recommended that the proposed company be formed, with a capital of £lOO,OOO, and that power be given to the directors to increase the capital during the first year, if they should find more land procurable for building pur poses. At the present moment several sites were known to be available in South London, in West minster, and in Camden-town. A resolution in favour of the adoption of the report was unani mously agreed to, and it was also proposed and car ried nem. con. that immediate steps be taken for the formation of a company under the Limited Liability Act, to promote the erection of improved and cheap dwellings for the working men of London.
