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 th a t 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, an dh ave 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 accompli s h th e work a sum of at least £l,OO 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 o n an d g accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

The Reconstruction Committee have reported the Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting any State from abridging legal and personal rights, or denying equality of legal protection, establishing a voting population as the basis of representation, and disfranchising as Federal electors until the 4th of July, 1870, all those who voluntarily engaged in the rebellion. The Committee have also reported supplementary bills, providing that the lately re bellious States shall be restored to their full repre sentation when they ratify the proposed amendment, and their representatives can take the required oath of office. Such States are to be allowed 10 years to pay the accumulated arrears of direct taxes. Also a bill declaring the following persons ineligible to hold any Federal office :—The President, Vice- President, and foreign agents of the Confederacy, all Confederate officers above the rank of Colonel in the Army and Master in the Navy, Governors of States, Federal judicial and civil officers, and persons educated at the national military and naval academies who favoured the rebellion, and all who unlawfully treated Federal prisoners of war. In the - House of Representatives, a resolution call ing for the immediate trial of Mr. Davis for treason and other crimes, and his execution if convicted, has been referred to the Judicial Committee. It is represented that the health of Mr. Davis is rapidly failing. In the Senate, Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, has read a letter, which the Senate refused to consider, from General Wade Hampton, reiterating the charge that Sherman wilfully burnt Columbia, and asking Congress to appoint a committee to investigate the facts. It is reported that the Cabinet held a special meeting yesterday to consider the report of the Re construction Committee. All the members, except Mr. Harlan, strongly disapproved the report, and declared themselves in favour of the President's plan of reconstruction. The Lower House of the Tennessee Legislature has passed a bill admitting negro testimony in the courts of law. General Canby has been arraigned before the Federal Court at New Orleans for preventing the execution of the order for the sequestration of cotton. Mr. Seward has addressed a letter to Mr. M'Cul loch, declaring that none of the various propositions for the adjustment of claims from British cotton bondholders are entitled to the consideration of the Federal Government. The monitor Mantonomah is reported to be under orders to proceed to the fishing-grounds. The cholera in the quarantine at New York has assumed a mild form ; 101 cases are still there, but there have only been seven deaths since Friday. The Hibernia, Quebec, Hermann, Alemannia, Lafayette, Etna, Scotia, and the City of London have arrived out. One hundred Fenians left Eastport on Monday for Boston. It is rumoured that a small gang still remains with the object of using torpedoes against the British vessels. The British steamers Rosario and Cordelia arrived at Eastport on Monday. General Meade has returned from his official visit to General Doyle at St. Andrew's. It is believed that the Federal troops at Eastport are under marching orders. Their destination is unknown. Previous to the departure of the Fenians from Eastport a Fenian wrote to General Meade, asking him if he would seize arms intended for the protection of fishermen, to which the General re plied that lie would seize all arms used, and arrest all persons engaged in violating the neutrality laws. Kelly, the private secretary to James Stephens, has published a card stating that Stephens would positively leave Havre on the 28th of April in the steamer Napoleon, and on his arrival in America would make a tour of the principal cities to advo cate Irish independence. A committee of Philadelphia Fenians has been appointed to wait on O'Mahony to demand that he should produce an account of the expenditure of the Fenian funds. It is reported that O'Mahony will have difficulty in proceeding in the present Convention. The Fe nians are obtaining a postponement of their action with a view to depose him. Until the arrival of Stephens no Irish bonds of either factions are being sold. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Money abundant. Gold, 128. Exchange on London, 1391 ; on Paris, 4f. sc. Stocks dull.

The American lines of steamers running between Boston and Europe aro doing a flourishing business, most of the vessels being eng4ged for several trips ahead each way. The French line from Havre has just added a now steamer, the Periere, a handsome vessel of 1,300 horse-power and largo freight capacity ; and the Napoleon 111., of 1,500 horse power, and about as largo as the Cunard steamers, is nearly ready to sail from the other side. The loss to the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad by the fire last night will reach $200,000, and the Michigan South ern Railroad will lose $20,000. Judge Nelson of the U.S. Circuit Court has decided that the surplus earnings of a bank cannot be taxed as capital.

Circular, New York, The supposition, apparently well founded , Se cretary of the Treasury will attempt to issuea loan, at par, paying 5 per cent. in gold, and pro bably in 30 years, has very materially s t ren Pa g jl l e e ci the value of all national securities; and, notwith s t anding the de cline of Five-twenties i.i Europe, the g o ld i nterest bonds are 1 to 3 per cent. higher than a week ago. Five-twenties of 1882 advanced to-day to 1061 under purchases to cover sellers' options, contracted at 103 to 1031 some days ago, in anticipation that the price of the bonds would decline under the return of considerable amounts from Europe, which expectation has not yet been. realised. There has been a large investment demand for bonds. Ten-forties have touched 961 during the week, and closed at 951 1 to 95/. The scarcity of coin, and tenour of European advice; espe3ially the fall in cotton at Liverpool and in 5-20's at London, have produced a further rise in the premium on gold, the price having advanced from 1261 to 129 k, closing yesterday at 129. The heavy decline in cotton at Liverpool, reported by the Nova Scotian and the Africa, has produced an almost total suspension of transactions in that staple. Prices are nominal, and we therefore omit our usual detailed quotaen. At the close of business yesterday sales were made of strict middling, at 33k, and low midding, at 31, which was 10. advance on the day's quotations. The amount of cotton still in the interior of the South is estimated vari ously at 225,000 to 500,000 bales. It is generally esti mated, in the cotton trade, that the stock of cotton in the South on My 1, 186:5, and the last crop combined, will be found to aggiegate about 2,500,000 bales. The total ex ports reported from all ports, for the week ending April 24, amount to 72,000 bales, and the receipts to 34,000 bales. MOVEMENTS OF COTTON AND PRODUCE.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY:— The fear of pain and dread of ope ,- ation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex; ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of ' , dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialitd tertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embi aces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss, sets from 5 to 25 go., warranted.

U n d er t h ese circumstances an and e rected their chief officer of b ste t very large di the Fire Brigade (Capt. Shaw) to make a special re port on the subject, and also Mr. Vullianay (the su perintending architect) to examine the premise; so that the board might be in possession of all the facts. From these reports he thought it would be found that there really was more danger to be apprehended to the general public than they were aware of. It taken efun fire to wl further iilat appeared nn th t a h t e thee canal, which h h a a t floating four barges, and it might have communicated to the shipping whichwas lying near in the river. It there fore, he thought, became the duty of the Govern ment to prevent these large storages of petroleum. The reports referred to state—" I have to report that at a quarter before 9 o'clock on the night of the 9th inst. a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Tyler and Pace, lucifer match manufacturers, of Bow-common, close by the Limehouse Canal, and before the arrival of the fire-engines had spread to the adjoining premises occupied by Messrs. Cassell, Smith, and Co., oilrefiners. Messrs. Cassell and Co. had at the time on their premises about 1,600 barrels of petroleum oil, which burnt with great fury. A large quantity ran into the canal in a state of igni tion, continued to burn on the surface of the water, and set fire to four barges ; the premises adjoining, and those at the opposite side of the creek, are oc cupied by animal charcoal man ufacturers, oil refiners, naphtha and pitch manufacturers, as well as asphalte and felt manufacturers. They have been severely scorched, and were for two or three hours in imminent danger of being totally destroyed.—.`fir G. SHAW, chief officer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade." " The fire at Bow-common began at the lucifer match works of Messrs. Tyler and Pace, where warehouse rooms about 100 ft. by 30ft. each in area and one story in height were destroyed with the contents. Only a thin brick wall separated those premises from those of Mr. Crossley. The canal is in front of both. These match works are wholly illegal, having been established in 1862 and 1864, and without isolation, as required by the Building Act of 1844. The adjoining works are those of Mr. Crossley, where paraffin oil and pitch were stored. assist ant,iliviena tntAolorp.enascertain Newall, yard t; h e t bs h oo e uf premi s es naodthed; the o n b t a t i ir - The person i n c h arge of the wharf showed my e d sl aos wereyu, t h w b h sy e t n n t hr e h de e Limehouse cut, and on the north by a narrow way leading to several premises to which Glaueus-street and Campbell -road lead from Bow -row to Devon road. There is now nothing left in the yard but a mass of twisted iron hoops where the barrels of oil had been piled in several layers. It is a singular cir cumstance that Mr. Crossley was about to put a tile roof over this yard and raise adjoining walls, and only the day before he sent to this office to inquire as to what materials might be used. The yard slopes towards the canal, and the heated oil thus flowing into the water ignited three barges lying opposite, and communicated fire to the large gates and fence of Messrs. Blott and Engest, and Rolfe's premises. These are naphtha, pitch, asphalte, and felt manu facturers. The flames from the oil in the yard of Messrs. Crossley did not spread, as there was little wind, but part of a roof, and a large quantity of bones and some fencing were injured on the premises of Mr. Little, animal charcoal manufacturer, on the east. Further eastward, separated by a narrow street, Messrs. Denton and Jutsum, oil refiners, have pre mises abutting the canal. These were shown to Mr. Newall by Mr. Denton, and appear to have been very carefully arranged and managed, with various iron doors, iron and underground tanks, and secured drains, so as to avoid danger and satisfy the insur ance companies. Mr. Denton will probably apply for a license for Rangoon petroleum. There was no damage on these premises, but many casks were re moved, and 'sand and tarpaulin put over others.— GEORGE VULLIAMY, Superintending Architect." The chairman said the act empowering the board to grant licenses for the storage of petroleum was intended to protect the metropolis, but it would become alto gether a dead letter unless something was speedily done. He would see Sir G. Grey, and perhaps he might feel disposed to bring in a bill on the subject. After some further discussion, the matter was re ferred to the solicitor for his report on the legal steps advisable to be taken. Capt. SHAW presented a report as to the fire that took place in Bishopsgate-street, w here two persons unfortunately lost their lives; andafter narrating the events, said he believed that e verything that could had been s ave life, but it was e house for the smoke; utterly impossible to live in th t o persons lost their lives through an accident which and that the unfortu7bich c ould not have be en ob external aid of any k ind v i a ted or influenced by whatever. received ; and, after the of th The report wasrest g h a d been disposed of, the b oar d ,adjourned. business t— ! SILK SPIDER.—The Boston Journal states that Dr. Wilder, late surgeon of the 55th Regiment; Massachu setts Volunteers, has just been giving a lecture in that city on a species of spider discovered by him on Folly Island, in Charleston harbour, while in camp there in August, 1863. He wound from his body in one hour and a quarter 150 yards of yellow silk. The next year another officer wound from 30 spiders 3,481 yards, or nearly two miles of the silk. A single thread of this was strong enough to sustain a weight of from 54 to 107 grains. In 1865 Dr. Wilder showed his specimens to Professor Agassiz . and Ot hers, to whom the species was new. Returning to Charleston, he succeeded in getting a number d d of fresi spiders.
