PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. 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 aro admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager sm., 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 boen raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least 13,300 more will 1,43 required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is prop.,sed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor tamilies 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 ?

Refuge, 8, Great Queen-street, W.C. The Paris Exposition. General was the disappointment felt by every visitor to the Universal Exhibition of Paris in the year 1855, on reaching the spot where floated the banner of the United States in witnessing the meagre display from a land ibounding with everything that contributes to the welfare of the human race. A few specimens of cotton, some useful machines, and manufactured prodacts of caoutchouc were all that were sent by a people whose agriculture, com merce, and industry, whose mineral wealth, whose rich vegetation, whose mountain ranges and mag nificent streams, have been the theme of astonish ment and admiration of the older nations of the earth. The apathy of a mighty people, distinguished for their activity, their resolution, and their determi tion to place themselves in the highest rank of civilisation, with their courage in overcoming obstacles, their zeal in the pursuit of wealth, seemed totally at variance with their principle " go-a-head," and their predilection for " the al mighty dollar." The, causes of this unexpected want of energy need not be examined.

Such usef r u es l t , andan and there stages of devel o p ment • n which they may be ex hibited so as t o b e observers, and profit a b le to the growers. There is scarcely a State th at inst ru ers. to ctive cannot furnish specimens of its mineral wealth. It • is not only the productive gold fields that possess a value in the eyes of the foreigner-- the iron ore, the copper, the quick silver, the coal supply, with theimmense capabilities of drawing from the bosom of the earth materials for the comfort of mankind, ought to find their way to Paris ; the machinery by which the mines are made to yield their treasures should be made known, and, by comparison V with I nose that have been found of immense service in Europe, would lead to improvements which would insure ample fortunes to ingenious innovators on systems which are acknowledged at the mouth of the mine to be im perfect. The Americans have shown that there is an ingenuity and skill in the comtruction of machinery and of implements of ordinary use unsurpassed by any inventors. Thus, machines for working cotton mills, for grinding flour, for sawing timber, the facility with which they are constructed, the economy they introduce, and their remarkable adaptability, have met with general approbation. There is, besides, a marvellous intelligence exhibited in the numerous domestic articles, which are furnished at a cheap rate that seems almost un known on the Continent of Europe. It is not only the sewing machine that would attract attention, but the spring chairs, the bell telegraph, the pegged boots and shoes, the cooking ranges, butter churns, cheese presses, which should ba displayed to give a proper idea of what has been done. The industry and the enterprise of the shipbuilders, by which commodities are carried from one end of the world to the other, has a superiority over less favoured nations that ought not to be passed over in silence. The models of some of the clippers, with the various improvements, would be a most desirable portion of the great museum which will for a short time be open to the inspection of the world. Some en coniums attended the exhibition of books and papers on the last occasion. The materials for paper making are now said to be considerably in creased, and some curiosity is excited to ascertain upon what depends the large production which has become indispensable for the gratification of the reading population of the United States. That even manure is now employed in paper making is generally believed. Corn, husks, straw, hay, ropes, rags, &c., are enumerated amongst the materials employed for the fabrication of paper, cheapness being the great object. Still, the books that have been imported are remarkable for their clear type and general adaptation to their readers' eyes. The typographical machinery, so very little understood in England, requires to be better understood. Th e machines for setting and distributing type have evidently led to volumes being produced on very economical terms. The state of the textile manu factures cannot at the present moment be fairly estimated. The protracted war necessarily carried off a large portion of the labouring classes, and every allowance must be made for any want of novelty that may be apparent; still, there can be little doubt that much advantage may be derived by houses that wish to show how willingly they I will enter into competition with the old es tablished system of production. The engi neering authorities do not lead us to expect much improvement on the European system of railways ; but so much is spoken of the ingenious arrangements of the carriages and of the sleeping cars that it is hoped that the directors of establishments here will have an . opportunity of studying models of these additions to the comforts of the traveller, and that the transatlantic system will be placed in its best light before the continental world, always much more ready to avail themselves of improvements elsewhere suggested than the some what positive inhabitants of Great Britain, to whom novelty is seldom agreeable, and who often prefer old, long-tried habits to the progressive advance which is made by a young and ardent people. There are, of course, a vast number of arts whose cultivation has scarcely begun, for the people have had the material objects of life to supply before they could pay attention to the ornamental. It is not to be supposed that the ceramic art, which em braces porcelain as well as pottery, has made any great progress. Still, it may be found well worthy the manufacturer's attention to fabricate such spe cimens as may enable him to show that in time he will be enabled to compete with the establishments that were founded in Europe by princes who seemed to vie with each other in sending forth vases beau tifully painted, fabricated from earth difficult to be procured. The existence of Kaolin in the United States will ultimately allow the ingenious American to show his taste and skill. Decorative furniture is proclaimed by the visitors to New York to be visible in the houses of the wealthy, and such is the admiration of the Parisian of handsome cabinet fur niture—that the upholsterer who will constructfrom some of the native woods articles of luxury will find inexhaustible patronage if he unite ease and luxury with taste and beauty in his contributions. Musical instruments of a very superior character have been gladly received in various parts of South America. The concertina, the harmonicon, the }Eolian harp, are highly prized ; the India-tubber flute, the tambourine, and the guitar of American fabric, would find a hearty welcome, and might obtain considerable success. The quantity of gold, and the discovery of precious stones, have led to the extension of the jeweller's fabric, and from the articles which have been worn by some of the American ladies mingling in the fashionable world of Paris it ikevident that there is much originality and considerable taste amongst the employed, and that their labours ought to be seen and would be duly estimated. The abundant supply of iron and fuel in England has, no doubt, caused her superiority in the manu- facture of steel, which was so evident at the last exhibition. The demand for this important part of all machinery was so great that it will doubtless cause the industrious American to increase the supply, and to show of what he is capable. In the military art, the invention of revolvers and the attention to projectiles are proofs that, when called upon, there is the same quickness of invention and of originality that has marked the career of the .1.1.1 LUG LUE, [MI 11t Vl UV, pcia. uv— ing and statuary, it is evident that America has no, remained stationary. At Rome the rising artists haye been distinguished for their taste and genius. They have studied with care and attention the an- tique, and have succeeded in obtaining the appro bation and admiration of amateurs. Men of science can, from their wide fields of research, furnish spe cimens of animal and vegetable life that are new to Europe, whilst they can add to the.stores of remedies that have been collected for medical art. The ethnologist can send various weapons—whether spears, bows and arrows, or clubs, that have been employed by Indian tribes—and thus suggest new information to the student of the history of the progress of man. From the United States every one naturally looks for a material increase of our knowledge in every department, whilst the exhibitor will not only obtain the reward of merit, but may derive substantial advantage from the efficiency of his labours.

Cities are burnt down, and disappear for the moment more rapidly even than they spring up in America. But they rise from each fresh calamity finer, more beautiful, and more convenient. A clean sweep was made of Portland on the 4th inst. Families by the thousand were rendered homeless, nearly every public institution was destroyed, millions of dollars worth of property was consumed, yet on the 9th the city authorities were planning the re-building of the place, a general revision of the streets was decided on, and a Committee elected to report on the creation of a public park and a market place on the site of the devastation. It is in such action that the American appears to so great an advantage. While other nations set to wringing their hands on the ruins of their burnt homesteads, whining in the most doleful strains to the world for relief, the American strips to his work. Ile knows that life is short and charity c3ld, and that none will help him as he can help himself. There is, too, an untrammelled freedom in the energy he brings to bear, that surprises those accustomed to the action of European countries, and still more to Asiatic. While the fire was raging, the telegraph was at work to secure a cover ing for the dispossessed householders, and while the embers were still glowing, hundreds of tents were pouring into Portland, engineers and surveyors were taking levels on the smouldering ruins, here a street was to be straightened, there another was to be widened, at one place a thoroughfare was to be formed, and at another rising ground was to be levelled. Within five days the outline of the plan was completed, and Committees appointed to in quire into and settle the details. These steps were taken on the spot, and at once ; then an order was introduced requesting the Government to embrace the opportunity of the Special Session ab out to sit of the Legislature—(required to adopt t he Amend ment of the Constitution of the United States) —to obtain additional powers for the City of Portland, so that compensation may be allowed in effecting the altera tions in the lines of streets. While thus vigoro usl y hel pi n g themselves elaini ed as well as effectual d tchirtizouegnhiosutchtehere cheered in his North to aid work by the sympathy and kelp a his countrymen, th e sufferers.steps are taken The The general good is the paramount consideration, and a new Portland springs up better in every re spect than the Portland of old, and furnishes to each Portland man a keen satisfaction of a difficulty honestly met and handsomely overcome, the satis faction —whatever be his individual loss—of having heartily joined his fellow townspeople in perform ing the public duty he owed his city. Whatever may be the advantage of a centralised form of Government, of the paternal State, which teaches the people like children to look to their rulers for everything, there can be no strength, there can be no energy in such a State, which can compare with action like this. Such a calamity happening in almost any town in Europe would have disorga nised the municipal machinery, and rendered help less those to whom the people looked for remedial measures. If the Aldermen of London had their houses burnt over their heads, the offices and shops where they transacted their business, their Guildhall and Mansion House, the Banks where their cheques were cashed, their records burned, their Govern ment buildings destroyed_ we wonder when they would recover from the shock ! What time would it take them to re-plan the building of the city after housing the sufferers and making the neces sary provision for their wants ? When we bring the matter home to ourselves we begin to form an idea of the energy and self-reliance of the American character, and how their institutions work in times of great trial. There is that Conservatism in the public mind which makes the people trust in and aid the authorities they have elected, which in duces them to forego small individual interests for the public weal, and enables the nation to shake off a calamity, and even to turn to good that which elsewhere, and under other circumstances, would be a crushing evil. Guns for our Ironclads. The ne scheme for the reorganisation of the armament of the ironclad ships of her Majesty's navy, prepared by the late Board of Admiralty, with the assistance of Captain A. C. Key, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's gunnery ship Excellent, and the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth, has thrown such a pressure of work upon one depart ment of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, in the pre paration of the necessary iron carriages and slides for the new guns, that it has been determined to take advantage of other available means outside the Arsenal gates for the completion of the carriages and slides required for such ships as are now but waiting their armament to be at once in commis sion. It may appear somewhat late to arrive at such a determination when it is remembered that the ironclad Bellerophon has been in commission, with her full complement of officers and men on board, since the 22d of March last, and has not one gun carriage or slide out of the 14 which are to form her complement yet on board. The explanation of this extraordinary circumstance is very simple. The navy of this country possesses no Ordinary Bureau of its own. The guns and their complete equipment are supplied to our ships of war by the military, or " War Department," and officers of the Royal Arl tillery, Engineers, or infantry —nay, even in some instances cavalry officers have been taken into grave consultation—have decided hitherto upon what is or what is not to be the proper armament of her Majesty's ships. In no other country in the world possessing claims to any position as a maritime Power could such a monstrous anomaly have found existence. Here, however, it does exist ; but our knowledge of so serious an evil should afford the means for its removal. The Admiralty Order dated the Bth of June, 1866, for the reorgani sation of the armament of the iron-armoured ships of her Majesty's navy is probably the wow LUZLL NY 111 uebtruy Majesty's uaLlacl auu. cp.,ax,ca, and give to the navy what its officers have so long and so vainly asked for—its own Ordnance Bureau, administered independently from that of the army. The first step towards this direction has been taken in the adoption of means available outside Wool wich Arsenal for the supply of carriages and slides to two of the iron-clad ships ordered for immediate commission. These ships are, the Minotaur, iron frigate, wholly armour-plated, 6,621 tons, 1,350- horse power, and the Royal Alfred, wooden frigate, partially armour-plated, 4,068 tons, 800-horse power. The Minotaur is supposed to be now intended to supersede the screw three-decker Victoria as the flagship of Lord Clarence Paget in the Mediterra nean. She was intended some months back for the flagship of the Commander-in -Chief of the Channel fleet for the present year; but, we believe, Rear- Admiral Yelverton preferred flying his flag on board the Caledonia, armour-plated wooden frigate. The Minotaur's armament under the new, organization will be, on the main deck, four 12-ton 9-inch muzzle loading rifle-guns and 18 6-ton 7-inch muzzle-load ing rifle-guns on iron carriages and slides ; on the upper deck, four 6-ton 7-inch muzzle-loading rifle guns, as chase guns.. - The Royal Alfred is, like the Minotaur, fitting out as a flagship, under the supervision of her future captain, Edward W. Tumour, and it is not improb able she may be sent as flagship to the North Ame rica and West India station. She is fitted with all the necessary cabins and poop aft as a flagship, and has an admirably arranged ship's company's " sick bay" under a roomy topgallant-forecastle on the French plan. Her iron-clad bows and running bowsprit will enable her, like the Minotaur, to obey with celerity the now well-known signal in the Channel fleet, " Prepare to ram," when foretop masts are sent down, bowsprits run in, and the ships of the fleet made ready for " a butt all round." The armament of the Royal Alfred will be very considerably heavier than that of any other iron-coated converted wooden ship yet sent afloat by any nation, comprising, as it will, on the main deck, ten 12-ton 9-inch and four 6-ton 7-inch muzzle-loading rifle guns, on iron carriages and slides like those of the Minotaur ; on the upper deck, four 6-ton 7-inch muzzle-loading guns, as chase guns. The carriages and slides for the guns of both the Minotaur and Royal Alfred, in their present state of construction, are ordered to be forwarded from Woolwich to Portsmouth dockyard steam factory, where they will be completed under the supervision of Capt. A. C. Key and Mr. A. Murray, the engi neer and chief of the establishment. The slides and carriages for the guns of the Bellerophon, it is said, will be completed at Woolwich. The entire arrangement for the armament of the armoured ships of her Majesty's navy, now in com mission, built or building, is, by the order referred to as issued by the late Board of Admiralty, as fol lows : IN COMMISSION. 1.

Our iron-clad fleet, therefore, consists of 16 yes- Eels now in commission, 14 vessels built and pre paring for commission, and three vessels building. For the armament of this fleet we require 4 guns of 22 tons weight each, 8 guns of 18 tons each, 59 of 12 tons each, 82 of 9 tons each, and 341 of 6 tons each, giving a grand total of 494 muzzle loading rifled guns, irrespective of 64-pounder rifled muzzle-loaders and breech-loading shell guns, apportioned as shell guns for service on the ships' upper decks. There is a sufficient work marked out here in the supply of these guns to the navy to tax by its exe cution, within a reasonable time, all the available energies of the Government establishment at Wool wich, the Armstrong establishment at Elswick, and the Whitworth establishment at Manchester. It is somewhat alarming, however, to be told just at this precise juncture that the supply of guns to the Navy has been restricted by the War Department to the Woolwich and Elswick establishments, and that the 12-ton 9-inch gun—the armour-plate piercing gun par excellence of the British Navy cannot be depended upon for endurance. The recent bursting of specimens of this gun appears to con firm this opinion most decisively, and yet, if it really prove correct, what a position shall we find our selves in at this moment ! We know for a certainty that the 7-inch Whitworth gun, with hollow pro jectile of compressed steel, propelled by a 201 b. powder charge, will inflict much more damage upon an armour-plated target at short range than will the Woolwich or Elswick 7-inch gun with a solid steel projectile of similar weight propelled by a powder charge of 301 b., or one-third greater weight. This imnimtnnt for titan hann •nrnwarl.l-... caretuiiy-conducted experiment, and must be duly weighed at its actual value. The broad fact above all others that most affects the public mind is the feel ing that the few ironclad ships England already pos sesses are virtually unarmed until the order of the late Board of Aamiralty, dated June 1, 1866, has been fully carried into effect. There are other ques tions which must also be considered, and one of the most important of all is the question, " Have we not already gone too far in our worship of big guns ?" If we can effect all we want against the hull of an enemy's ironclad with a gun having a 9in. or 10in. diameter of bore, then that ought to be the soundest of reasons against burdening our ships with guns of 15in. or 20in. diameter. The larger the gun built, the greater the difficulty in turning it out of hand perfect. We hear daily of our 9 and 13-inch guns bursting under proof ; we know of 22-ton guns of 13 inches that are unreliable for a single round with a full charge, and we are aware that the turret ship of the future has the 22-ton 13-inch rifled gun fixed upon as its minimum weight of gun; but turret ships will have to engage iron-cased marine ports and port-protecting shore batteries, and must, therefore, carry ordnance of exceptional weight, and we can therefore afford here to put the turret question aside with the remark that, while we are finding the guns for our iron coated ships at present in existence, the turret and broadside questions may be discussed with advan tage, and also with a certainty that the freer and the more impartial the discussion the sooner and and more satisfactorily the argument will be con cluded, and both broadside and turret ships settle down to their proper level in the iron-clad navy of England.

The enterprise is in the hands of gentlemen of abundant ability and large means, who seem to be deter mined to make the undertaking a success, and the leading ones among them are said to be now in Chicago engaged in perfecting the arrangements for the enterprise. It is the intention of the projectors of this new means of eastern communication to make it prompt and reliable, and they expect to be able by it to greatly facilitate the transmis sion of goods and at much reduced rates of transportation. A railroad meeting was held at Valparaiso, In diana, on Monday evening last, July 2d, to consider the feasibility of railroad connection with the timber lands of Michigan, and lake navigation. Mayor Merrifield presided, and the Hon. F. Church was chosen Secretary. The ob ject of the meeting was presented by the Chairman. It was stated that the chief prospect was in building a road snceof graded twe from La Crosse, on the New Alban y and Salem Railroad, one-fourth o a u lp rt a b ra m is i o l , es. to LTabkee roadStation,bed was already nty and half a distance of the distance, and to grade the remainder would cost little over $4OO per mile, as nearly the whole way was level.
