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, refusedadmittance, 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 rai se d, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be requi re d. 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 broad 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 ?

We have received the Report of the formal in vestigation by the Board of Trade respecting the loss of the London. This report contains, no doubt, all the information the public can ever receive as to the cause of that terrible disaster. It occasioned at first some natural feeling of dissatisfaction that the representatives of those who were lost in the ship were not admitted to cross-examine the wit nesses: Swh - a, permission, however, would, it ap pears, be impossible under the Act of Parliament which directs these investigations, and the report justly represents that such a practice is at once unnecessary for the purpose of the inquiry, and might render it impracticable. The persons ap pointed by the Board of Trade have power to call any witnesses they may think necessary, including the passengers and their representatives, and to cross-examine them as they please. These re sponsible and experienced Assessors are not likely to neglect any point of uncertainty in the evi dence ; while if the representatives of all the pas sengers who were lost in such a ship as the London were allowed to cross-examine the witnesses at pleasure, the investigation might be indefinitely prolonged. The Court of Inquiry have examined no less than 24 witnesses, who all had either a personal knowledge of the condition of the ship or were ex perienced in shipbuilding, and the most minute par ticulars affecting the seaworthiness of the vessel have been inquired into. The result, moreover, is on the whole as satisfactory as could be expected. It sets at rest several disputed points, and indicates at least the proximate cause of the disaster. It appears, in the first place, that the general equipment of the ship amply sustained her previous reputation. The Surveyor of Lloyd's and the Emi gration Officers at Gravesend and Plymouth concur in reporting her as " in all respects a good vessel." The weight of the cargo and its stowage were the next points of inquiry, and with respect to these also the Report decides that the ship was in a satis factory condition. The manner of the stowage is pronounced to have been unobjectionable, and there is no doubt that, according to the standard adopted by Lloyd's Surveyors and the practice of such ships in general, the London was not over loaded. The Court, indeed, advert to some evi dence to a contrary purport given by a retired shipbuilder of Liverpool, and they appear to think that his opinion is not to be altogether disregarded. They repeat, moreover, the recommendation they had already made in the case of the Amalia, that the deep load line should be permanently marked on all vessels carrying passengers and merchandise. With respect to the stowage of coals on deck, and the fact of the ship having set sail from Plymouth with all her top gear aloft, the Court observe that she only followed iu these particulars the usual ILes . ll2lLvassels engaged in tbe same line of "Eifik4v cided language. It is impossible to say whether, as a matter of fact, these circumstances contributed in any degree to the loss of the ship ; but it may be hoped, now that attention has been thus forcibly called to the danger they involve, that they will for the future be avoided. The only other point relative to the despatch of the vessel from port was the state of the weather when she started from Plymouth. As this is a point upon which Captain Martin has been severely blamed, it is satisfactory to be assured that there is no foundation for such a censure. Captain Stoll, the emigration officer at Plymouth, gave the readings of the barometer on the sth Jan , the day the ship sailed, on the 6th, and on the 7th. There was a rise in those days of about three-eighths of an inch, and this agrees with the state of the weather as reported by those on board the ship. Instead, therefore, of the ship having sailed in the face of threatening weather., there appears no doubt that " the weather was very favourable." In fact, for the first two days after leaving Plymouth, " the weather was moderate." It was not until Monday, the Bth, that " it began to blow strong." We now come to the actual history of the disas ter. Here, again, every one will be glad to observe at the outset that one of the points conclusively established relieves the captain from another ground of censure. Severe reflections had been cast upon him for his supposed imprudence in putting his ship before the wind. It is agreed upon, how ever, " by all the seamen who were examined, that she was never put before the wind until the fore noon on the day she went down," and then only in order to lower the port cutter in which the survivors left the ship. This exculpation of the captain on the points respecting which we have conclusive evidence, combined with his high professional character, is justly held by the Court to preclude any unfavourable judgment respecting doubtful questions in the subsequent management of the ship. It is not probable that a man of such experience, and who behaved so admirably in the moment of supreme peril, would have committed any serious errors, and we must believe that the points of apparent difficulty could have been satisfactorily explained if any of the officers had survived to give an account of them. Moreover, the result of this part of the inquiry is sufficiently definite to render any such questions of very subordinate importance. There is no doubt that the proximate cause of the loss of the ship was the sea getting into the engine room and extinguishing the fires. This disaster is alone sufficient to account for all that followed, and it only remains, therefore, to inquire by what means the sea was enabled thus to break into the engine room. On this point the Court speak with less cer tainty, and appear inclined to think the imn w i ense body of water which poured s uddenl y en gine -room could hardly have been injuries admitt beyond ft n h d e ship had not sustained some further with those which were observed . Here, however, point is certain, and is to furnish ho us er, one a practical result. It is that the engine - room sky light was washed aw a y , and _that the water poured into the room imme diately afterwards. When we openin g of 12ft. Gin by 9ft are informed t hat the hatchway thus left unpro tected presented a n we must conclude that if this accident did not Gn" actuallyi cause the final disaster, it was amply suffi cient to cause it. The practical question, therefore, to which the inquiry is reduced is " how the sky light was carried away, whether by any imperfec tion in its construction, or by carelessness in not keeping it properly fastened down." On these points the evidence leaves us to some extent uncertain. A portion of the jibboom which had been blown overboard had been recovered, and was fastened to one stanchion of the hatchway, and it may be that this floated with the water on deck, and contributed to unship the skylight. In other re spects the hatchway seems to have been as well secured from the outside as its construction ad mitted. There is no evidence, however, enabling the Court to say whether "the inside fastenings of the skylight were the weak points of the ship." As to the construction of the skylight the report says, that if properly secured it was a sufficient protection from the sea, " )t happening." Ad the conclusion sufficient. In the observe that the skylight did in point of fact give way. But, beside this, a construction which is only secure " unless when an extraordinary accident happens," is practically unsafe. It is against extra ordinary accidents that ships have to be secured, and it is the most fatal fault not only of shipbuild ing, but of navigation, that everything is conducted on the supposition that none but ordinary dangers will have to. be encountered. As much as this, in deed, is expressly admitted by the report. " All the hatchways of a ship," it is said, " ought to be made as strong as her deck ; and, when occasion requires it, secure from the intrusion of the sea. This may be done in a variety of ways more or less simple." If so, the public will regard it as unpardonable if a ship is ever sent to sea again with hatchways liable to the same accident as that which caused the loss of the London. The conclusion thus obtained is rendered the more important from the very similar result of the inquiry into the loss of the Amalia, which we published a day or two ago. There, too, the loss of the ship was proximatelypreceded by the water breaking into the engine -room and extinguishi ng th e fi res . It i s evi dent, in short, that th e sa f e t y o f th ese s t eam vesse l s in a heavy storm dep en d s a l mos t en ti re l y upon the security of the engine-ftwind: nis ' , ill: improbable, as Mr. Wilson thinks, that the construction of our fast steamers is such as to render them ill adapted to meet a storm when reduced to the condition of sailing ships; but, so long as they have steam-power at their disposal, there is every reason for believing them as safe, if not safer, than any other sort of vessel. It is satisfactory that we have thus been able to trace these terrible disasters to the real cause, and that this proves to be a deficiency which can be readily supplemented. We cannot, indeed, say that human foresight could not have averted the accident, for such a weak point in the construction ought to have been detected. But we may rest satisfied that no biarail ,can be attached to those who had the management of the vessel, and we may be thankful that we have discovered the means of guarding against a similar catastrophe for the future. Drury-Lane Theatre. The play-bill at Drury-lane is now so quickly and pleasantly diversified with tragedy, comedy, pan tomime, and farce, as to suit the tastes of all classes and conditions of playgoers. Those who relish stage-pictures of life and manners in the last cen tury may choose between Mr. Phelps's clever per formance of Oakley in " The Jealous Wife" and the same actor's still more finished impersonation of Sir Pertinax Macsycophant in "The Man of the World ;" while Shaksperians will find that their interests have been consulted in the production of " The Mer chant of Venice," with Mr. Phelps and Mrs. Her manVezin as the efficient representatives of Shyiock and Portia. The Christmas entertainment has long outlived the season for which it was originally intended. '• King Pippin," the most successful pantomime that has ever been produced upon these boards, still pursues its merry and prosperous career, and nightly awakens the wonder and delight of the juvenile por tion of the audience.

Dr. ACLAND supported Dr. Rolleston, and men tioned that in the case of the Clinical Professorship a fee was claimed from each of the professor's pupils by a person unconnected with the University. A. statute was then promulgated suppressing the Aldrichian Professorship of Chemistry, and devot ing the stipend to other objects connected with physical science. Sir BENJAMIN BRODIE asked whether the new disposition of the funds would be permanent, or whether a power would be taken of restoring them at some future time to a Professor of Chemistry. As it appeared, after some discussion, that a per manent diversion would probably be effected by the statute, Sir Benjamin proposed an amendment to the effect that the endowment should not be per manently diverted from a Professorship of Che mistry.

Vols. 3 and 4, completing the Work.-- "It is almost unnecessary (says the Globe) to review these volumes. The author in his former publication gives a sufficient taste of his quality. In tho present work we have less of personal biography and more of the recollec tions. The author's knowledge of distinguished persons is naturally very great, and whether he narrates the dis comfiture of an aspiring feminine diplomatist by such an astute veteran as Talleyrand or the adventures of a sport ing hero he is equally at home. There is no dou bt that in these sketches wo have much that is worth p reservin g of the life and manners of the upper ten thousand during the last half century."
