Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with S u p pers an d 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, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that they aro 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 admitt ance, an d have to spend night after night in the cold, tra, 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 our behalf.

That respectable newspaper, the Evening Post, has re cently taken occasion to print some rather discourteous observations about the Round Table, among which, in one instance, after using some adjectives, whose application must of necessity react upon their writer, it is affirmed that the Round Table is not "as good " as the first class literary weeklies of similar aims which aro published in London ; not as good, to be explicit, as the Athentruin or the Saturday Review. Now the principle which seems to guide so many cotemporaneous journals in respect to the eternal veracities is none of ours, and there are plenty of journals, as it is hardly needful to say, whose aspersions of whatever sort we shall always think it unnecessary to notice. The Evening Post has the deserved reputation of b e ing, in general, no temperate and fair minded, as well as so dignified a sheet, that for once, and in connection with its late observations, we propose to make an exception to our usual practice so far as to indulge in a few sentences in reply. With these preliminary explanations, wo beg simply to acknowledge that the Evening Post is quite right. The Round Table is not in all respects so good a periodical as the Saturday Review. Our cotemporary is perfectly right; but he has not said enough. He should have added that America is not so old a country as England, that New' York does not contain so many people as London, that the Houses of Parliament are larger than our city hall, that our Trinity cannot hold a candle to Westminster Abbey, and that neither the Evening Post nor any other paper published in Israw York is as good a paper as the London Times. Since frankness is in vogue, pray let us have enough of it. Let the jewel of fair play be occasionally heard of, even in the amenities of newspaper discussion. We have not the slightest hesitancy iu admitting that with all our earnest and unremitting exertions we have not, in the course of a twelvemonth, in a community where such undertakings have always hitherto proved failures, suc ceeded in making a better literary and critical weekly than ono which has been established for many years in a highly appreciative and ancient community, and ono which is, in some particulars, not only the best of its class in the word, n but probably the best which the world has ever yet seen. To claim that we have reached the - acme of t T h a a h t le t h i e s r e i n i is nothing very l it—and mean to make it —would be as t vain as n ot for a rabble possible tfor r e respect e t to achieve , at vthatnbusP:onhlrredl lanv‘j-7 write for intelligent and educated peoplo,n! affectation in of muddle-headed and half-tipsy boors, and 3 for the c hamber- We leave for certain of the dailies finndeld of ridiculous misi-t maid and grog-shop weeklies the Lions and :Leh ve .n representations as to their P*()sintly s hine, and ono w d eret , 'land unprofitable.

Taro situation is different, might the come n there are plenty of excellent reasons the countries u in tries aro different, the tastes of society are why the E ; i v n eni fi ng ne kst should be as deserving, or more de serving, in being what it IS than either of the papers last named in being what they are. That it has exerted a generally healthful and progressive influence upon the community, it is but common honesty to admit. We know not, indeed, how in the last five years the Evening Post could have been spared and the country'yet stand where it is. Yet it certainly is not a perfect newspaper. It is prone to be dull and didactic. It permits itself to indulge in prejudice, which are the reverse of cosmopolitan. It is a trifle too timid at times, both in squarely praising what is good and squarely denouncing what is bad. It is a little too apt to allow trivial matters of personal taste or distaste to cloud its sense of justice respecting obnoxious nations, persons, or things. But, apart from these criticisms, which are, of course, matters of individual opi , nion, there is no journal in the country which ought to I be more ready to aid the aucoess of a paper with each aims if 4 •"4..y• A7 . 3 , as our own than the Evening Post. None V? s Q svzh is....z. l4o l better the existence of the empty niche, or the consMa lion due' o those who honestly strive to fill it, than the Evening Post's principal editors. The oae a poet of exalted position, the other a laborious and scholarly historian— the one of venerable years, the other well on in manhood's prime, none should know better than they, with their culture and their experience, how injurious to American letters and society have been crude and imperfect criti cisms, hasty and cruel literary judgments, heated and in temperate political animosities, and many other evils which we have essayed in our humble way to remedy and assuage. Undoubtedly we may at times have made mistakes. All are liable to err. But our errors, whatever they m ay have been or may be, have never been or ever will be such as are incompatible with the earnest desire and pro found ambition to cherish and advance the cause of national literature, of sound criticism, and of good moral e . As regards the question of comparative excellence or the means of improvement in the future, we must, of course, use our own judgment, since none can be more interested than ourselves in the result. Past experiments have con clusively shown that we should altogether be unlikely to reach the port we aim at by steering in the wake of any predeeesqnr. Our course must needs be hi a great measure an original one. Nor can we, iu the different situation, altogether follow European examples. We must be governed by our own will, sagacity, and enterprise - such as they are. We must be our own pilot, and guide the helm by our own star. The track is certainly not with out its perils, but we have a great deal of, wo hope suffi ciently modest, self-reliance. No woekpasses but that wo are striving and devising to make the Round Table a better and stronger publication than it is. In this the public is generously aiding us, and we trust will continue so to do ; and, while we shall always be glad of appreciation an'l friendly recognition from the cotemporary press, we are well aware that it is to the public and not to newspaper; however excellent and influential, that we must look for the substantial assurance of our future. Comparisons, as Dogberry meant to say, are odious. We should certainly not have thought of originating a discussion founded upon. so objectionable a basis. As the case stands, hower, we may perhaps be pardoned for `humbly exproking, an okliou--zn" opiziiut which there is no impropriety in prefacing ty the statement that, as the present writer has contributed largely to at least two un questionably leading presses in both New York and London, ho thinks himself fairly qualified to form and entitled to express it. If, then, the first-rato press of London is to be regarded as the ideal or standard of ex cellence, we deliberately affirm that, whether in point of paper, typos, or the brains wherewith they are used, the Round Table is to- day nearer the mark of the leading English weeklies than any newspaper in Now York is to the mark of the best English dailies; and we have not the slightest doubt whatever that any educated and unpre judiced person who shall carefully make the comparison will endorse this affirmation as a candid, unvarnished, and irrefragablo truth.— The Round Table. Metropolitan Boa• d of Works. The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday, at the office in Spring gardens ; Sir John Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement showed the cash balances in the hands of the treasurer to be £709,654 ss. 3d. ; checks issued but not presented, £49,543 14s. 7d. A report was presented from the Works and Gene ral Purposes Committee, stating, with reference to the resolutions of the Board of the 13th April last and 13th July last, referring it to the Thames Em bankment Committee to report to the Board on the present state of the works under the contracts for the Thames Embankment north, that., having regard to the altered conditions of the contracts, and the man ner in which the works are now progressing, the committee do not think it advisable to make any special report upon the reference. They recom mended the Board to proceed in the next Session of Parliament with the bills of last Session to effect the Chelsea Embankment, the Improvement of Park lane, and the Northern Embankment Approaches, the clause having reference to the proposed approach through Northumberland House property being omitted in the latter bill. That the chairman of the Board be requested to communicate with her Majesty's Government in relation to the financial arrangements to be made for carrying out such im provements. On it being moved by Mr. Freeman that these recommendations be adopted, the chair man said that he had read some of the discussions which had token place in the vestries on this sub ject, and there appeared to be a misapprehension that it was intended by this Board to levy an addi tional rate for the purpose of public improvements. Now that was au entire mistake ; it was not in tended to levy an additional rate, but to readjust the present payment out of the sewer rates for pub lic improvements. Mr. Healey opposed any payment whatever out of the sewer rates for purposes of improvement, and Mr. Richardson took a similar view. Mr. Carpmael supported the recommenda tions, and said it would be a disgrace to London if it did not carry out public improvements in the same spirit as was done in Paris. In Paris upwards of is. in the pound was raised over the whole of the in habitants there for public improvements, and was it to be said in this wealthy metropolis they could not raise one-tenth part of that amount for the same object? Mr. Le Breton said it -was the duty of the Board to march with the times, and not be niggardly with these improvements. A rate of 2d. in the pound would meet the expense of all that would be required for some time to come, and he felt sure that no one would grudge that sum to effect such important objects. Dr. Evans said if all im provements were to be done by the local authorities they would never be done at all. Had the Board in the case of the main drainage taken the sewage of the metropolis to Greenwich, would the local autho rities have taken the refuse of London from there to the point of discharge? The thing would have been utterly impracticable, and great works must be done by a united action of some central and responsible body. Mr. H. L. Taylor supported the report of the committee. Mr. Roche.wanted to know, before the Board was committed to any bill to give effect to these recommendations for public improvements, upon what principle they were to be carried out. If they attempted to rate the owners of the property for these improvements he felt sure that any clausee ofo that purpose would be struck out by the Ifo a u n said Lords, as had been done before.

As far as they were at present able to judge, he thought by January next year they would be in a condition to take down the houses and make an opening in that direction. In answer to a question, the chairman said it must be a Matter of consideration as to which end of the line the pulling down of houses should comm ence, but the arrangements were the most advanced at the Earl-street end. It was agre e d t o. Mr. Tito, u s M e n .l: . s , ta d t r e ew ofL the e i tt e t e t s e t netr..sci o afre theion, and Board asked to the pre sent e soli citor whether, with the consent of the freeholder, that excrescence and blot in the middle of it could not be removed, for at present it was extremely ridiculous, and was au offence to public decency. The solicitor said a legal question as to this square would be settled in November next, but as regarded an application to the freeholder for the removal of the statue, he thought there could be no objection to that course. After some other business had been disposed of the Board adjourned.
