Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have hid 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, chilarrln, and orphans we, for want accommodation, refused admittance, audhave 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.

" The memorial of the lieutenant, the deputy lieutenants, and the magistrates of the county of Cork, in meeting assembled, respectfully showeth— That they consider the peace of their respective dis tricts and of the county at large to be seriously im perilled; that early in the present month the so called Head Centre of the Fenian Brotherhood, James Stephens, is reported in the American papers America a byword in her relations with foreign powers and corrupt in her own local administration, then the question was very simple. If there was a wish merely to reform the institutions of the coun try, it was a question not of principle but of degree. No doubt in every country like'this there would be very wide differences of opinion as to what a Re form Bill ought to be ; but if it was agreed that they wished to maintain the institutions of the country they might calmly discuss am.mgst themselves as to the right way to widen the electoral body, and to improve and adapt those institutions. Then they need not have animosity one with another, they need not set class against class, and they need not claim for one class all the wisdom and patriotism of Eng land, and vilify another class as if it had neither. (Loud applause.) Let them as free Englishmen, having a right to express their opinions, give each other credit for honestly desiring to maintain and improve the institutions of the country. _ _ to have stated, at a public meeting in New York, that he wanted to be in Ireland by Christmas, and that fighting would then begin, and that arms 'and men were in sufficient numbers in the country for that purpose ; that subsequently to this arms were seized in Cork in the act of 'Ling secretly introduced into the country ; that uniforms and engines of war have been likewise seized in Liverpool apparently intended for a like purpose ; that for some weeks lately large numbers of young men, to all appearance acting with a common object, and without any of the accompaniments of people desirous of settling in the country, are being landed almost daily from the American steamers, and immediately drafted off to the interior of the country ; that strangers of a sus picious appearance, and without any fixed occupa tion of an industrial or peaceful nature, are to be found, and are daily increasing ; that from these and other circumstances too numerous to mention in a memorial, the minis of all the loyal as well as the disaffected are seriously disturbed, and that a gene ral feeling of uneasiness as .to the peace of the country has taken possession of the minds of all, in cluding those of your memorialists ; that feeling themselves largely responsible for the preservation of the lives and property of the loyal inhabitants of the county, your memorialists.deemit their bounden duty to call the immediate attention of your Ex cellency and of her Majesty's Government to the state of the country ; that your memorialists think it right to Say that the upper classes, the greater portion of the middle classes, including the far mers and traders, and all who have anything to lose, are loyal and well affected to the throne and institutions of the country, but that they are wanting in organisation and the habits of com bined action, whilst the organised bands who have come from a foreign country and are acting appa rently under directions from America, as well as those of our fellow-countrymen who have been mis led by those foreigners from the paths of peace and loyalty, are acting under one head and with one common object, viz., that of overturning the throne, abolishing the rights of property, and on the ruin of all in Ireland establishing a Republic ; that your memorialists feel that the loyal inhabitants are a majority, and capable, if properly organised and duly aided by the Government, of preserving the peace and institutions of the country, as well as the properties of themselves and the lives of their fami lies ; that for guidance in this duty they look to her Majesty's Government; that for this purpose they are willing and ready to enrol themselves, their tenants, and their well-affected neighbours of every class and creed, without distinction, as special con stables, or in any other way which may appear to the Government, with its superior knowledge, the most expedient for the purpose ; that your memorialists respectfully point to the powers which Parliament, by the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, con ferred on the Government, and respectfully suggest its more full exercise ; that they also respectfully represent to your excellency that a speedy display of increased military force in the various districts, as well as the presence of more ships of war on the coast, with marines, may, probably, have the effect of preventing a rising, or of crushing a rebellion in the bud. In concluson, your memorialists express their fervent prayer that, under the blessing of Divine Providence, wisdom and firmness on the part of the Government, stedfast loyalty on the part of the majority of the people, and an awakening sense of their culpable folly on the part of the dis affected, may combine to avert from this country The hon.: gentleman resumed his seat amidst applause.

An Admiralry order was received at Portsmouth dockyard yesterday to prepare the ironclad frigate Royal Alfred, of 3,726 tons and 800-horse power (nominal) of engines, as the flagship of Vice-Admi ral Sir G. R. Mundy, K.C.8., the appointed suc cessor of Vice-Admiral Sir J. Hope, iu the command of her Majesty's ships on the North Ame rican and West India station. The Royal Alfred is a wood-built vessel, has her hull below the water line coated with Muntz metal in the usual way, and is, therefore, for an ironclad, a peculiarly suitable vessel for service in Westlndian waters. Tier broad sides are clothed centrally with 6-inch armour plat ing, and her bows and stern with 41-inch plating.

The Monarch's central battery, turrets, as well as the whole of her machinery, will be protected by 7-inch armour plates, tapering at the ends, and carried well down below her water-line. Her free board will be higher than any turret ship yet con structed, and will be from 12ft. to 14ft., with all her guns and equipment on board. The harpins at the bow of the Monarch have been fixed, and the large stem-piece fitted, the latter, instead of being of a curvilinear form, as in Mr. Reed's armour-clad ships, being carried up with a gentle inclination in board, this form lessening the force and volume of the wave ploughed up and thrown toward the stein during the time the ship is under full steam. The turrets are to be constructed to revolve once in a minute. • Yesterday the workmen at Chatham dockyard commenced working additional hours, both morning and evening, to make up for the additional holyday which will be given them on the day preceding C hristm as - day.

" Dublin Castle, Dcc. 6. " My Lord,—l am directed by the Lord Lieute nant to acknowledge the reeept of a memorial of your lordship, the deputy-lieutenants, and magistrates of the county of Cork, adopted at a meeting held on the 3d inst. I am directed by his excellency to ex press to your lordship and to your brother magis trates the sincere gratification with which he had received the assurance that there exists not only among your body, but generally among the farmers and traders of your county, a spirit of loyalty to the throne, a deep attachment to the institutions of the country, and a sincere disposition to assist her Ma jesty's Government in her efforts to maintain the public peace. his excellency can well understand the uneasiness which is occasioned by the threats of outrage and disturbance that have been made by men residing in a foreign country, whose wild and insane counsels have unfortunately:had some effect on the spirit and feeling of the population of your county. Though his excellency is convinced that armed resistance to the authority of the Crown in any part of Ireland could not be maintained suc cessfully for a single day, he has considered it to be his duty to take every precaution in his power against th e poss ibilit y o f outrage. His excellency is fully alive to the heavy misfortune which an in surrectionary movement, even if it only lasted for a few hours, would entail upon the country. To avert such a dire calamity all the efforts of the Go ' vernment have been directed. With this view the consent of the Legislature was obtained to the re newal of the suspeasion of the Habeas Corpus Act. For the greater portion of the autumn it was not found necessary to put in force the power which that act gave to the Executive, but since it has been that the leaders of this atrocious con perceived s piracy have renewed their efforts of last spring, the Government have deemed it advisable to im prison many persons who are known to be deeply engaged in treasonable practices. His Excellency is in hopes that these arrests will have the effect of stopping much of the mischief that is going on, and he is determined to continue to exercise the powers confided to him in every necessary case. A regi ment of infantry has been added to the troops stationed at Cork. A large addition in ships, gun boats, seamen, and marines has been made in the naval force under the command of Admiral Frederick, and a further augmentation is intended. The number of the constabulary has been increased, while the strictest orders as to careful and active at tention to duty has been issued to all persons in the . service of the Government. With respect to the application to enrol special constables, the Govern ment desire to call the attention of your lordship and the magistrates to the provisions of the statute 223 William IV., c. 108, regulating the appoint ment of such officers, which provides for their en rolment under certain contingencies only—viz., the reasonable apprehension of riot, tumult, or insurrec tion being deposed to by credible persons, and, next, the opinion of the justices that the police, military, and other regular force in the country are not sufficient for present protection of person and property. Your lordship will thus observe that the justices are declared the tribunals to decide upon the necessity of special constables, and while the information ia the possession of the Government leads his excellency to believe that the military and police force already stationed in the country are equal to protect persons and oroperty, and prevent any disturbance, he does not feel jir,tified in dis couraging your lordship and the magistrates of the county of Cork, who must be more intimately ac quainted with the circumstances and condition of the district than the Government can be, from putting into force the powers of the Act o f Parlia ment referred to. His excellency is convinced that the magistrates will carefully consider;whether abso lute necessity exists before they take so decided a step ; and in case of its adoption, his excellency will be ready to afford the magistrates such assist theyou may r obeequire.—l ha assist ance and advice as dient servant,ve the honcsur to be, my lord, yr 66 NAAS."

STA,NYOUD Snail, Secretary, Conservative Meeting at Norwich. Noßwiell, IVednesday. The Nor;e•ich First Ward Conservative Associa tion celebrated its anniversary dinner last evening at the Black Horse Tavern, Museum-street. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. B. Morgan, and some interest was imparted to_ the proceedings by the pre sence of Mr. Augustus Goldsmid, late Conservative candidate for Norwich. There were also present the Rev. J. Durst, Mr. J. S. Skipper, the Rev. T. Mey rick, Mr. G. Kitton (in the vice-chair), Mr. J. Allen, Mr•. W. Woodhouse, &c. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, The VICE-CHAIRMAN gave the sentiment of " Church and State." The Rev. J. MEvutcx - , in replying, said that he I thought the time was come when it ought to be con sidered very earnestly whether it was not necessary to draw very close the ties between the Church and 1 the Conservative party. They had seen lately what the other party intended on this point, and 1 they had read Mr. Bright's speeches on his recent , journey to Ireland. Mr. Bright's great effort had been to turn off the minds of Irishmen from. Fe nianism, which they would not be turned away from, to another issue--viz., the overthrow and up- , setting of the Established Church of Ireland. And Mr. Bright, not content with stating that the Esta blished Church was to be upset in Ireland, told the i public that the same principle which applied to Ire land would apply also to _,,England. The question was thus brought closely home, whether an alliance ought not to be made between the Church party and the Conservative party. (Hear.) Mr. GOLDS3IID, who was received with cheers, proposed the next toast, " The Earl of Derby and the Conservative Peers in the House of Lords." The hon. gentleman said one of the old Roman tyrants had remarked that he wished all his subjects had one neck, that he might cut it off at once ; he (Mr. Goldsmid) wished that all the Conservatives in Norwich had one hand, that he might shake it all at once. (Laughter and cheers.) He had the greatest satisfaction, at all events, in finding so many good Conservatives of Norwich present that evening ; and if anything could make the pleasure greater, it would be the having entrusted to him a toast to which all Conservatives must respond from the bot tom of their hearts, as they admired and loved Lord Derby, and regarded the House of Peers, next to the Church, the great bulwark of the constitution. If there were any man in the country to whom we should feel grateful, not merely as Conservatives, but as Englishmen, it was Lord Derby, because with wealth sufficient to gratify the amplest desires, with a position to which that of no subject was second, and with health far from that which those who loved him could wish, for he had disregarded his health, set at naught his position, and volunta rily resigned a great part of the comforts of his for tune in order to do that which he believed for the good of the country, and to bring to the councils of the Sovereign that wisdom and energy which could not have been met with from any other quarter but himself when Conservatives considered all this, they felt that they owed a deep debt of gratitude to the Earl of Derby, and that as the noble earl in his great position had made great sacrifices in order to be useful to them, so .they ought, and if they were real Conservatives, and intended to be worthy of that great name, to set at nought their own comfort and their own convenience and wishes so as to do what they could to help his lordship on in the great task which he had undertaken. Ile (Mr. Goldsmid) was sure he was speaking no more than that which was felt by many men present when he said these were no ordinary times, for we were now called upon to prop up that constitution under which, by God's providence, this country had be come what he hoped it might still continue to be for centuries. We were called upon to prop up that constitution against attacks from every quarter. Whether we referred to the lauded interest or the manufacturing interest of the country, the rights of property were being attacked by all those who, hav ing nothing to hoped to get something out of the scramble. The Right llon. IVillion Windham, who, for many years with credit to himself and glory to Norwich, represe n t e d Norwich as Norwich ought to be represented, made an observation with reference to Sir Francis Burdett when a reform bill was mooted in his time, which he (Mr. Goldsmid) believed might with equal propriety be applied to Mr. Bright now. Mr. Windham said, " Nothing is so cheap as patriotism. To be a friend of the people is a very easy thing when a man sacrifices nothing by it. He may be exceedingly sincere and honest ; he may never have been called upon to make a sa crifice ; but we cannot, as the world goes, give a man credit for sincerity and devotion to his party when lie does nothing in order to gain a great deal which other men pass their lives uselessly in en deavouring to obtain." He (Mr. Goldsmid) would ask the meeting whether these words would not apply to Mr. Bright and many others, as they did to Sir F. Burdett in 1809 ? He had mentioned Mr. Bright's name ; perhaps he might be expected to say a few words upon the meetings which bad taken place in London. He knew that Conservatives were accused of always bringing forward Mr. Bright, but he wanted to know how they could do otherwise. When ever the reformers wished to advocate their prin ciples they sent for Mr. Bright. Mr. Bright was at Manchester, Rochdale, and Dublin, where he did not come out in very " dacent" society. (Laughter.) The fact was, Mr. Bright was everywhere. As for Mr. Beales, although nobody perhaps but Beales could interpret Beales, Colonel Dickson, who was not unknown in Norwich—(A yoice—" We know him too well")—(laughter) —s a id the other day that he was one of the glories of the reform party and a martyr of the aristocracy. People had wondered why Mr. Beales called himself " M.A.," and an intelli gent man wrote to the Standard to suggest that it was because his wife's name was " Mary Ann"— (laughter)—and he was so fond of it that he put it on afterwards to his own name. (Laughter.) Col. Dickson has now enlightened the public, and it might be inferred that the reason why Mr. Beales put to his name was that he was a martyr of the aristo cracy. (Laughter.) A still stronger supporter of Mr. Bright, both at the meeting at Beaufort House, and at the subsequent meeting in St. James's Hall, was Mr. Leicester, the glass-blower. (Laughter.) Well, if Mr. Leicester was as energetic in blowing his glass as he was in his oratory, his work must be more strong than elegant. Mr. Leicester said something to the effect that the House of Commons consisted of a lot of one• eyed humpbacks. (Laughter.) Well, there was only one gentleman who had had the misfortune to lose his eyesight, a loss which every one mustlament, and that gentleman was Mr. Fawcett, the member for Brighton, and he was one of the great friends of the people. (Laughter.) Another member, holding some what similar opinions to Mr. Fawcett was Mr. Fors ter, and he was not exactly considered an Apollo Bel videre by those who knew him. (Laughter.) These were the only two gentlemen upon whom he (Mr. Goldsmid) could fasten Mr. Leicester's physiological remarks, and they happened to be his own friends. (Laughter.) At the evening meeting in St. James's Hall this same Mr. Leicester made an observation which lie had made to his wife in the morning. He (Mr. Goldsmid) hoped that Mr. Leicester contented himself with guPl'isglass and not his wife. (Laughter.) Leicester said th a t, although litll Lord Derby might have t r a n s l ated the " Iliad," if he was not more clever in governing the country than be was in glass-blowing, he ought to have been turned out long ago. This remark was so well re ceived by the domestic hearth that Mr. Leicester repeated it afterwards in St. James's Hall, where it was also well received. Mr. Bright certainly made au admirable speech in St. James's Hall, but he seemed to have forgotten a remark made by a very great man in his time (Lord Mansfield), " that nothing was so misleading as a simile." Mr. Bright argued that if we were upon the verge of a volcano he must not be considered responsible for the tor rents of lava which would shortly flow, as he did not place them there. But Mr. Bright forgot that the greatest destruction which had sometimes re sulted from the action of a volcano was the destruc tion of the mountain itself ; and Mr. Bright forgot, too, that if he did not place the inflammable mate rials there he had been at pains to bring those elements into a state of combustion. Mr. Bright must be much mistaken if he fancied he could pull down the constitution of the country without being buried himself in the ruins. (Ifear, hear.) Having defended the utility of meetings like that which he was now addressing, as they diffused thought and fortified opinion, Mr. Goldsmid said he hoped that every one whom he saw present would do everything he possibly could to spread the principles which they all believed. Let it be seen that they were Conservatives, not from a mere blind instinct, but because they believed that Conservatism was true. Although Conservative doctrines might not always be the most popular—since they did not flatter the vanity or self-love of individuals or a class—yet Conservatives looked to the welfare of the whole country, to the preservation of the constitution, and to the maintenance of the nation in that position which, by the blessing of God, it had occupied for so many centuries, and which they hoped by the same blessing and the same constitution it would continue to occupy for many centuries more. (Cheers). Mr. J. S. SKIPPER, in an able speech, proposed, "Mr. Disrceli and the Conservative Members of the House of Commons." Mr. Skipper urged that the Conservative party must unfurl their banners, and stand shoulder to shoulder in the great battle which they would be called upon to wage in the coming session. Mr. Skipper further urged that nothing gave so small a representation of individual opinion as universal suffrage, whether it was under a despot at the head of any army in Europe, or a demagogue at the head of a mob across the Atlan tic. Mr. Skipper reviewed the recent Reform de monstrations attempted by the Radical party, con tending that they had been comparative failures, and that they disclosed a great want of unanimity among the Liberals. He believed, indeed, that the great bulk of the Liberals would support a measure of Reform prepared by the Conservative party. The Conservatives, then, must maintain a determined attitude, and they would be enabled to maintain those great principles under which England bad flourished from the first times until now. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with Kentish fire. The healthy of " Sir S. Bignold," the " Visitors," coupled with the name of Mr. Goldsmid, who re sponded, and other toasts followed. Mr. Tom Taylor on Art Education. On Tuesday evening Mr. Tom Taylor delivered an address at the Lhmbeth School of Art, on the occasion of the annual distribution of gold and silver medals, certificates, and prizes to the students. The meeting was held at the school, Miller's-lane, Upper Kennington-lane—the Rev. IL. Gregory, chairman of the school, presiding. Two of the three gold medals, given by the South Kensington Mu seum, were awarded to Mr. Percival Ball, and the third to Mr. E. F. Haynes. The two silver medals were given to Miss E. Mason and Mr. W. Mar tin. The sketching prizes were awarded to Miss E. Miles and Miss Grace Seabrook. After these had been distributed by the chairman, who pre faced the distribution by a suitable speech, Mr. Tom Taylor came forward and delivered an in teresting address to the students, selecting for his subject the importance of cultivating, among all classes of the people, a sense of beauty and a love of art, In these times, more than in the days of old, the lower classes were almost wholly deprived of every opportunity of :art education, except such as were specially put in their way. The growth of London was so rapid that, if it were not for excur sion trains and the parks, the artisans of this huge city might pass their whole lives without ever seeing the green grass or smelling the sweet breath of the country. The ugliness of our modern suburbs, the sordidness of so many of the phases of the nineteenth century life, the universal haste to be rich at any cost of mental cultivation—these and other influ ences of the same description exercised a deteriorat ing effect upon the national life. Proof of this might be found, if proof were needed, in the general ignorance of art which was manifested in the work men's exhibitions that had recently been held throughout the country. To remedy this was an object of special importance in these times, when politicians were agitating a reform question, and everywhere there was the feeling that education was the fittest preparation for the exercise of political power. After some further illustration under this head, the speaker concluded by pointing out that the problem yet remained to be solved of how best to reconcile central action and local independence, and there was no better way of effecting this than by the efforts of each separate school to show how much they were capable of achieving by themselves, as had been done in the present instance. Mr. Potter, M.P., addressed a few words to the students, after which various votes of thanks were proposed and carried. It was mentioned in the course of the evening that the design is on foot that this School of Art should send some specimens to the French Exhibition next year. MR. ADDERLEY, M.P., ON REFORM. The Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, M.P., presided at the annual dinner in connection with the Hanley Cattle Show, at the Mechanics' Institution, Hanley, on Tuesday evening. In responding to the toast of "The County and Borough Members," Mr. Adderley said be, as au humble under secretary, had no secrets to reveal. He did not know what went on in her Majesty's service, and although be was on the most friendly terms with the chief of his depart ment, yet so faithful were the members of the Cabinet to one another, and so loyal to her Majesty that they did not reveal any secrets. With reference to that subject which was now so prominently before the country, the reform of the electoral body returning members to represent the country in parliament, he never concealed his most sincere desire for an effec- ' tive reform. He bad always stoutly maintained that as the country advanced in intelligence, and as there arose a large body who would be able to give an in telligent and independent vote, the electoral body should be opened to receive all such citiz ens. But he had also always maintained that there was a great difference between opening the institutions of the not t r different .represent th e ( I p l u e b a l r i , e hear, country, by admitting the increased intelligence and independence, and upsetting those institutions and better substituting t i u n t s li t l i g t usomethingv i 0 ( l A e n p p t lause. speeches and applause.) Those who looked at the West for seafeel ing that a t t hi s after country. those y gl m ad ad to e H re e c w en a t s l in St. James's Halt there was a meeting of the same class of men, who took the earliest opportunity of repudiating the violent expressions made use of on that occasion, and of separating themselves from connection with what they called the vapourings of certain people who had attempted to represent, but had misrepresented, them. He was glad to sec that the same class of men formed themselves together in Birmingham, calling themselves; Liberal Con - servative operatives, and in doing so made use of expressions which did credit to them and to the country, as having been made by opera , tives, and which he believed were better representa tives of the feelings of the people of England than the speeches at St. James's Hall. And if, as he be lieved, they were not prepared to upset the institu- Lions of the country, they were not prepared to pay personal compliments to the Queen at the expense of the throne, or to make elective the higher cham ber of the Legislature, or to admit to the lower chamber such a body as that which returned mem bers of Congress in America, and which had made of opt e P rico ° 1( ; sl i°suejcill near, DA Vt' 0 595, to Iss bg ;Yi osi r of 40_13'ir rO st ss r. rye ° La" 100 °11' ,7 ors.
