PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, B.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 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 are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the ROY.

Naval and Military Intelligence. The Ordnance vessel Helena, Mr. Moore com mander, on Monday conveyed to the main sheers of Portsmouth dockyard a monster piece of ordnance for experimental service on the works now erecting around Southsea Castle, for the defence of the en trance to the channel leading into Portsmouth har bour from Spithead. The iron carriage and slide for mounting the gun were forwarded with it in the Helena, from Woolwich. The gun is coil, or Arm strong built, has a 13-inch diameter of bore, is rifled on the Woolwich system, and weighs 23 tons. It is 15ft. 6in. in length, has a circumference of lift. Bin. at the longest part of the breech, and a diame ter of 6ft. 6in. from one extreme of trunnion to the other. The new lines of fortification, on part of which this immense piece of ordnance is to be mounted, will form, when completed, the key of the sea defences of Portsmouth harbour, and having been designed expressly to beat off the assault of any hostile ironclad fleet, will necessarily be very for midable. The whole work, as designed; comprises a central keep, with a battery to the right and left of heavy earthworks carrying iron-shielded embra sures in granite frames. When completed the work will supersede the stone fortifications of Southsea Castle, erected during the reign of Henry but rebuilt in 1814 under the supervision of Major- Gen. Fisher, R.E.., and its auxiliary earthen batte ries. The glacis of the new work is washed by the sea at high water. It stands on the southernmost point of - Southsea-common beach line, the centre of the work being at the apex of an obtuse angle, with the coast line tending backward from it right and left. It commands the entrance to Portsmouth harbour channel from the sea and Spithead, the channel being narrowed by the shoals so as only to permit of the passing of one vessel at a time be tween them and the shore fortifications. The length of the channel from the throat of the harbour at Blockhouse fort to the Spit Shoal fort at the southern end, or commencement of the entrance channel, is 20 cables in a line parallel with Southsea-common beach, the distance from Blockhouse to the centre of the new work of Southsea being about 13 cables, and the breadth of water between the apex of the work and the Spit fort, which all vessels, large or small, must pass round to enter the harbour chan nel, being about six cables' length. These distances will give some idea of the important part which the new work must play in any future defence of the harbour and dockyard of Portsmouth from attack from seaward. The centre of the work is still oc cupied by the ancient stone tower of Henry VIII.'s time. It is mounted with four 8-inch smooth-bore guns, but is ordered to be dismantled as soon as the exact form of the new keep has been decided upon. At one period during the progress of the works it -was-proposed to orvwn the uld stone Reep -- wrth an iron cupola on Captain Coles's plan, but this idea has now been abandoned owing to the evident weakness of the square tower and its incompetency to support a cupola and its guns of sufficient weight engage and defeat ironclad ships of war. Such a structure is subject to the same conditions as are attached to the design and construction of the marine forts at Spithead—it should not be erected for present necessities only, but as far as may be possible as a work for all time. For these reasons it is now contemplated to level the old stone work to its foundation, and, with its granite material, to build up a solid foundation for an iron cupola to mount guns of not less calibre than the one brought to Southsea and now about to be mounted experi mentally on the west earthen battery of the work. The details of this cupola have not yet been fully decided upon, but its design, it is understood, will be sufficiently comprehensive to mount four of these immense guns. The cupola will be revolv ing, like the turrets on board the Royal Sovereign, and with a small steam engine to work it its move ment can always be continued in one direction, its guns loaded when turned away from the enemy, and each gun fired as it is brought to bear apon the enemy by the cupola's revolutions. All this yet remains to be accomplished. The earthern batteries, however, which will form the right and left flank of the cupola keep are all complete now, with the exception of the iron shields to their em brasures and the laying down of the metal radial ways for training the guns on their platforms. The entire line of earthen rampart is in excess of 1,600 feet, 1,100 of which forms the battery west of the keep and along the line of the harbour channel, parallel with Southsea beach, and the re mainder east of the keep, and commanding the shoals and the outer deep water at the channel entrance. A mortar battery on each flank of the keep at the junction of the earthworks has been prepared for mounting each two of the heaviest of this class of ordnance. The east battery will mount 11 guns and the west battery 21, none of which will be less than 12 tons each in weight. All of these guns, which, from their position, are exposed to a direct fire from seaward, will be fought through iron shields fixed between the granite piers of their embrasures, each of these shields will be made of rolled iron armour plates 13in. in thickness, 12ft. in width by Bft. in height, and will be strengthened further on the inner side by siin. crossed iron frames, to which the ar mour-plates will be secured by bolts and nuts in the usual way. The shields will have a slight incline towards the interior of the work of 41in. from their base, and will be held in position by side struts of iron and cross tail pieces of enormous strength. The gunport in each shield will measure 3ft. 6in. by 2ft. The earthen ramparts to carry all this mass of super incumbent metal in shields, guns, carriages, and their slides, have been built of unusual dimensions, and strengthened in every way with granite, brick, and concrete. The thickness of the earth at the narrowest part of their base line is 108 ft. The middle of the terre-plein is 27ft. 6in., and of the merlon 29ft. 6in. —the total thickness of earth at the gun platformbeing no less than 57ft. in the weakest parts. The distance from centre to centre of the gun shields averages 55ft. The camp stands a good height above the terre plein, and the garrison will be fully protected from all seaward danger, excepting vertical fire. To every two guns are provided expense and shell magazines along the faces of the batteries, and on the flanks of the batteries the magazine provision is still more extensive. On the extreme of the west battery, where it might become, under certain exceptional condi tions, exposed to a flanking fire from long , range guns, the six guns mounted there are thoroughly protected from the effects of such a contingency by massive earthen traverses. The two main magazines one in each battery at the bass of the rampart, are each large and massively constructed buildings, but standing on-the level of the parade ground. Their powder bays have each a stowage capacity for 750 barrels of powder, and a wing passage entirel yround the magazine walls gives uninterrupted means of ingress and egress to the cartridge to and from the batteries.

The general meeting of this society was held at 12, Hanover-square, yesterday, under the presidency of Lord Tredegar, The report of the council, of which the following are dxtracts, was read to the meeting :—" The coun cil have to report that since last December the so ciety have lost by deaths andresignations 1 governor and 308 members ; while 1 life governor and 57 members have during the same period been enrolled on its list, which is now constituted as follows :-79 life governors, 84 annval governors, 1,395 life mem bers, 4,019 annual members, 15 honoiary members —making a total of 5,622.

Since last general meeting, the council, impressed with the ne cessity of continuing their exertions in promoting measures calculated to arrest the progress of the cattle plague, resolved itself- into a standing com mittee, and on Feb. 12 had an interview with Earl Russell, and submitted to him several resolutions which had been agreed to by the council. The coun cil, as such committee ; have since up to the present time held several meetings for considering this sub- ject, and have forwarded communications to the Privy Council with the following recommendations, pointing out the extreine importance of establishing permanent means for tnd compelling the slaughter of all foreign fat stock at the place of disembarka tion ; and also by an efficient system of quarantine applied to store animals, and by stringent restric tions upon the purchasers stock after they are libe rated from such quarantine, to protect the public as far as possible from the risk of infection caused by the importation of foreign cattle,; and, further, that no exception be made as regards the Metropolitan Market. The council have since recommended— ,l. That in the opinion of the council it is highly desirable that the provisions of the Cattle Diseases Prevention Act, authorising the compulsory slaughter of animals suffering from the rinderpest, and the warding of compensation to their owners, should be extended for a period of at least six months. 2. That the attention of the Go vernment be called to the complaints that are made that the Orders in Council are in some districts in efficiently carried out.' The application of steam to the - cultivation of the soil has received the careful consideration of the Council, and they consider that the time has now arrived when an attempt should be made to arrive at the results which have been obtained by its use on different soils and in different localities. With this object they have appointed a central committee, composed of members of the Council from every distKict in England, to conduct a complete inquiry. Inspection committees will visit such farms as the central committee may select for inspection. To assist them in their investiga ions, paid secretaries will be attached to each in spection committee. A sum of £5OO has been voted for the purpose of carrying out this investigation. The proceedings of the education committee with regard to the prizes offered in connexion with the last Cambridge local examination are detailed at full length in the last number of the Journal; and the committee are following out similar plans to those therein detailed with regard to the ensuing Oxford local examinations. The Council have also authorised the education committee to offer prizes in connexion with the Cambridge local examinations for 1866. The country meeting at Bury St. Ed mund's having been postponed to 1867 in conse quence of the prevalence of the cattle plague, a me eting will be held in the neighbourhood of in accordance with the provisions London, merely of the advertised.

One of the most daring, deliberate, and coolly executed attempts at assassination ever made in this country took place on Sunday night, at Howth. Warner, the approver, who gave evidence against the Fenian prisoners during the trials at the late Special Commission, had been living at Clontarf, under the protection of the constabulary. Although aware that he is the object of intense hatred, he im prudently exposed himself while there, having gone into a publichouse, and exhibited apistol, which was taken from him, and he was at the same time ter ribly beaten. He was, consequently, removed to Howth, where, with his wife and six children, he lodged in a house next door to the constabulary station, and was under the protection of a sub constable named Tormy. On Sunday evening, about 8 o'clock, Warner and his protector were standing against the wall of the graveyard about ten yards from the police barracks, when they were accosted by a strange man, who inquired the name of the graveyard, and then got into conver sation with them, and ultimately invited them to have some drink at a publichouse. Tormy refused to go, stating that he belonged to the police. The stranger then inquired where they lived, said he was hungry, and asked whether they knew a place where he could get refreshments. Warner, who is said not to have been quite sober, then invited him to take tea with him at his lodgings. The visitor was introduced to Mrs. Warner, and made himself so agreeable that several bottles of porter were afterwards breught in and consumed. About half past 10 o'clock the man, who gave his name as O'Connor, expressed a wish to stay all night if he could get a bed. Thelaudlady said she would give one sooner than let him out at that late hour. The offer was' thankfully accepted; but before retiring to rest O'Connor asked Warner to be good enough to show him the way to the back yard. Ile did so, and as soon as theygotoutside.a floiwfVennnor stantied mum in the neck behind the ear with a dagger about six inches long. It pierced the collar of the coat, vest, and shirt,-aud inflicted a wound about an inch deep, striking against the bone, but cutting no arteries. The wound, though dangerous, was not mortal, and Warner, who is a courageous man, of great muscular power, about 40 years of age, turning instantly, seized his assailant by the collar, a desperate struggle ensued, and O'Connor was able to escape only by leaving behind him his coat, vest, and hat. He also left the dagger, and in his coat pocket was a six-chamber revolver, loaded with two bullets in each chamber, and capped. O'Connor escaped by jumping over the wall. lie bad a return ticket for that day, and no doubt intended to have perpetrated the murder in time to get back to Dublin by the last train, but not being able to ac complish that, and being without hat or coat, he seems have walked along the railway. Warner rushed into the house, bleeding profusely, and shouting " Murder !" when Tormy ran out with out waiting to dress, revolver in hand, but too late. 1)r. Rorke, of Baldoyle, was immediately sent for, and arrived above half-past 11 o'clock, when he bound up the wound and stopped the hemorrhage. The constabulary were instantly in motion to arrest the fugitive. Head-constable Keown having sent his men out in all directions, took a car himself and drove rapidly into town, rousing the constabulary at every station on the way, and giving notice at the detective-office in Dublin. The consequ'ence was that the whole country was scoured by the P olice , and at about half-pait 3 o'clock in the morn ing the Clontarf constabulary saw O'Connor on the road near the junction, with nothing on but his shirt and trousers, and carrying his boots under his arm. After a smart run he was captured by Con stables Patton and M'Loughlin. The prisoner was brought before the local magistrates, Messrs. Flood and Lawrence, by whom he was remanded and sent to Kilmainham gaol, having taken the evidence of Warner and his wife, Tormy, and the constables by whom he was arrested. The police think that O'Connor is a false name, and that the prisoner is no other than Richard Kearney, who shot O'Neill, the policeman, and for whose arrest a large reward had been offered. If this be so, his audacity is wonderful, and he must have counted on an extra ordinary want of discernment in the police. He is about 26 years of age, and 6f t. 6in. in height. He states that he is by trade a leather cutter. Dr. Rorke says that he cannot pronounce a positive opinion about his patient for a day or two. There has been no new case of rinderpest reported from the north. Hitherto the south has been free from the disease, but a letter from Waterford in the Daily Express this morning states that a report had reached that city of the outbreak of a fearful disease on a farm about three miles from the town on the road to Tramore, and which the farmers considered rinderpest.

(Signed) H ENRY She did it, so help me CUSHION." God. `Make it ' dear, won't and ; wantock me up and to , The case excited considerable interest, the court and the yard leading to it being crowded with per sons from the neighbourhood. Albert Charles Tuck, a young man, living at Point-pleasant, Wandsworth, said he was returning from Putney a b ou t 12 th e prev i ous n i g ht w h en he was told that a man had gone along with his throat cut. Witness walked on and saw a man and woman lying in the middle of the road. The prisoner was the female, and she was on the top of him. The man was bleeding from the throat and the prisoner was crying. Witness asked what was the matter, and the man said his throat was cut, and that his wife had done it, and.that the woman was his wife. The prisoner madeno answer. Witness picked him up and brought him to the station as well as ho could. Mr. Ingham—ls the man able to attend ? Inspector Usher—No, sir. lie is in the infirmary at the Wandsworth Workhouse, and not expected to live. The inspector was then sworn, and stated as follows :—Between 12 and 1 yesterday morning I was sent for to the station. On arriving there I found the injured man in the reserve-room with his throat cut. Dr. Winslow, the police divisional sur geon, who had been previously sent for, was attend ing him. The Hon. Mr. Wrottesley soon afterwards• attended and took the injured man's declaration The magistrate was sent for by the advice of the surgeon. The man was not sworn, but he made the statement, and it was afterwards read over to him. The prisoner cried and sobbed bitterly. I charged her, with attempting to murder her husband by cut ting his throat with a razor. After a pause she said " Yes." She gave me the latch key of the street door, and said I should find the razor on the top of two boxes in the bedroom. She asked me to fetch a dress and several other articles, which I did. I went to the place and found the razor as described. It was covered with blood. Mr. Ingham—Was it wet ? Inspector -Usher—No, sir. The blood was dry, as I found the razor two hours after the occurrence. I found the bed covered with blood. I also found a rope tied across the bed two or three times. This is the rope (producing it). It is steeped in blood. I traced blood on the handles of the locks of the doors, and also on the way from Putney to Wandsworth. Mr. Ingham (to the prisoner)—Have you any questions to put to the officer? Prisoner (who was crying)—No, sir. At a subsequent period of the day the magistrate, accompanied by Mr. Andrew, the clerk, proceeded to the infirmary to take the injured man's deposi tion on oath. The prisoner was removed from the station to the bedside of her husband who made the following statement :—" On Sunday we agreed to separate. On nondaysnight I went home and lay down on the bed. I awoke and found my hands tied to the bedstead and my feet entangled with a rope. Blood was pouring from my throat. My wife was lying upon me. She said, "I'll let you know whe ther you are going away," and she made another cut at my throat. I think it must h ave been with a razor. I pushed her off me. I promised her I would not go away. She cut the- rope and I got loose. She tried to prevent my getting up by holding me down by the shoulder, but I was too strong. I got away and ran into the street. She followed me and said, 'I hope you will not transport me.' I was very weak, but got half-way to the police-station. She took hold of my arm and asked me not to tran sport her. I fell from weakness, and a young man and a policeman helped me t o th e station. " The only question put by the prisoner to her thati h h e e h h u ad sba b u r d o , u w gh h t o th ap e p a ea ffa: e r d o i n a h a im :r l y f. l husband was wh e th er h e did not say, on awaking, w state, answered that he did not remember. Mr. Ingham then remanded the prisoner for a week. The New Star. About this phenomenon Mr. J. B. Hind writes, on Satur day night, from Mr. Bishop's Observatory, Twickenham : Having received information this evening, through the F.R.S., that a new star in kindness of Mr. W. Huggins , the constellation Corona Borealis had been discovered by Bermingham, of Tuarr, and Mr. Baxendell, of Manchester, we found it without difficulty, though its brightness b its evidently diminished with great rapidity since the earlier the ' ll 6 n 3 e observations, when its light was equal to that of a star of position ma T rk h a e b in le e s a t n ari determined with the equatorial, and is as fellows :_Right ht the second ascension, 1513. 53min. 53sec. ; North Polar distaue e 8 deg. 41,8 - min. joining Epsilon in Bootes and Pi in Serpens, m ag l n ,h it i u s d i c .e , one-third of the distance between them f and about It is now a sixth magnitude, perfect! from the former. to my eye, and quite stellar in a y colourless, at least up to 700.

Mr. C. G. Talmage writes thus from Mr. Gurney Bar clay's Obs ervatory, Leyton, May 19 : —The interest taken by the general public in astronomical phenomena, more especially those which are visible to the unaided vision, and the rapid and extensive means of circulation offered by The Times, induces me to forward Situ the following inte resting fact : On the 15th of the present month a star was noticed in the constellation Corona, of about the third magnitude, where no bright star had previously existed ; but, as far as I can at present learn, it was first noticed by Mr. Baxendell, of Stocks-street, Manchester, a gentleman who devotes much of his time to astronomy. This morning, at 2h. 30min., I directed the 10-inch telescope at the obser vatory to the object, and, with powers of from 500th 1,000, the star appeared surrounded by a hazy nebulosity to the extent of about 30sec.; the brightness was about i a mag nitude less than E Coronte. It is exceedingly desirable that a number of - comparative observations of brightness should be made with unaided vision as long as possible.
