PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR 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 a rc h es . At present nearly 5 00 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are 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, 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 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 prop,med, 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 ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rev. D, GILBERT D.D., No. 22, Fizsbury-eireus E.G. V. 4k. ••• • \ • ••••• - r • ' • r - , • ) ( f) 7 4 54 4 41-sze \ .

STAMPED sd. cies may be swamped by voters living in unrepre sented towns. The scheme of distributing the 49 seats saved by diminishing the representation of small boroughs seem on the whole equally fair with the disfranchisement clauses. An additional mem ber is to be given to each division of a county con taining, exclusive of Parliamentary boroughs, more than 150,000 inhabitants—South Lancashire, which has a population of more than 600,000, forming two divisions—and 26 members are thus to be added to the counties. An additional member is to be given to each of the four boroughs—Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds—now having each more than 200,000 inhabitants, and an addi tional member to Salford, now having only one_ie presentative, though containing (more than 100,000 inhabitants. The representation of the Metropolis is to be increased by dividing the Tower Hamlets into two boroughs, and creating a new borough of Chelsea and Kensington. Burnley, Stalybridge, Gravesend, Hartlepool, Middlesbury, and Dews bury are to become Parliamentary boroughs, each returning one member, the London University is to be constituted an Electoral constituency, and the seven seats still remaining are allotted to Scotland. The redistribution scheme of the Government is fair and moderate. The number of small boroughs dealt with might, perhaps, havebeen increased with advantage, and we have pointed out a defect in the scheme of grouping which might even now be re medied ; but in disposing of the seats obtained for distribution by the first part of the scheme the claims of the counties and of the great centres of industry have been impartially considered. Some members will, perhaps, regret that, at a time when so many " three-cornered" constituencies are intended to be created; no proposal is made to revive the plan for representing minorities contained in the bill of Lord Aberdeen's Government in 1854 ; but it is probable that the Ministry have rightly ganged the wisdom of Parliament in abstaining from such a step. On the important question of boundaries the pro posals are less satisfactory, but it is evident that the Ministry are ready to consider any practical sugges tion for fairly defining the limits of Parliamentary boroughs. There is some simplicity in Mr. Glad stone's scheme for evading the difficulty, since the proposal that Parliamentary and municipal boroughs shall be conterminous can only make the determina tion of municipal boundaries henceforth what it has not been hitherto—a political question. Mr. Glad stone objects to the proposal contained in Lord Derby's bill, which would have given to the Enclo sure Commissioners the task of fixing the limits of Parliamentary boroughs, on the ground that the power is too great and too vague to be thus dealt with, though it is in fact nothing more than to re peat, through a definite existing body, what was done in 1832 through a special commission appointed for the purpose. It cannot, however, be impossible to settle the boundary question, if all parties consent to deal with it in a spirit of fairness, and in that case the Redistribution Bill incorporated with the Fran chise Bill may easily become a satisfactory measure of Reform. There are some clauses in the Franchise Bill which it is now confessed would produce effects not intended by its framers, and it may therefore be presumed that they will be withdrawn with little, if any, reluctance. It remains only to determine how Parliament shall deal with the two bills now before it, and though Mr. Gladstone refused last night, in reply to Mr. Disraeli and Sir Hugh Cairns, to do more than express his readiness to con sult the convenience of the House of Commons, subject to the one condition that Reform be not allowed to drop, we think there can be little doubt that the plan recommended by Mr. Bouverie is that which ought to be pursued. The second reading of the Redistribution Bill is fixed for Monday next, and if, as we hope, it passes this stage after no very prolonged discussion, the house can go into committee on both bills at the same time, and then fuse them together. Whether it will be possible to pass the composite measure thus formed this session must depend very much on the good sense of indi vidual members and the sagacity of the leaders on both sides, but especially of the Opposition. It is most obviously for the interest of the latter, as it is for the good of the country, that the spirit of reform should be laid at rest; they has. , e now the opportu nity of accomplishing this result, and that under the most favourable conditions, if they will only resist the temptation of snatching a temporary triumph over their opponents. " ANGLO-AMERICAN TDIES."--It is with any thing but a feeling of satisfaction that we transfer to our columns an account, pub lighed in tho Time& o last Tuesday, of a, recent interview between the Washington correspondent of that journal and the President of the United States. In explanation of that occur rence, the Times of Wednesday declares that the President, unlike the Sovereigns of Europe who are hedged round with divinity, " can talk with anybody about public affairs without impropriety or offence. He can address a mob," says the leading journal, "from a platform or an open window ; he can hold conversations which the post will convey next day to the furthest corner of the Union ; and he may explain and unbosom himself to the correspondent of a European jour nal." Further on, the Times states that the " President gave full permission that the details of this remarkable conference should be made public." The American people have been represented by Charles Dickens and other caricaturists as utterly destitute of propriety. Whether justly or not, they have borne the character of an ill-mannered and uncouth race, who do not scruple to disregard all social amenities, who by instinct place their feet on chimney-pieces and expectorate on drawing-room carpets, and who, in a word; are mainly remark able for those traits of character which shock the refined and disgust the sensitive. But while these and similar caricatures, which have been manufac tured at the expense of the Americans, are destitute of the slightest foundation of truth, it is admitted that they do not, as a people, hold themselves bound by those strict and rigid conventional rules of etiquette which are observed in some civilised countries, and which common sense teaches are absurd and foolish. If an American citizen asks an interview with the Executive, he does not think it necessary, on being ushered into " the presence," to prostrate himself and kiss the Presidential toe, nor even to addreis him as " Your nigh and mighty Puissantness !" On the contrary, he addresses the President as he would any other gentleman, and expects to be treated in return, not with official hauteur nor offensive condescension, but with that easy and respectful urbanity with which gentlemen always meet each other. But underlying this fa miliarity, which is only another name for self-re spect, there is always prevalent in the minds of all intelligent Americans a deep and abiding respect for the Presidential office. Englishmen regard with jealousy the slighest infraction of the dignity of the Crown, and have made it a penal offence to speak of the Sovereign in terms of disrespect. But we do not scruple to assert that no intelligent man in England venerates the Queenly office more highly, or is more jealously alive to its dignity, than are the people of the United States to that of the Chief Ruler of the Land. Indeed, we believe and maintain, in common with all Americans, that the office of President of the United States is an office of greater power, greater honour, and greater dignity than that held by any Sovereign in Europe. Kings and Queens and Emperors are born, not made. They reach their high position not by the force of character nor by the public choice, but by the accident of birth. In all intelligent commu nities, that man who, by honesty, industry, and intelligence has accumulated a fortune, is more honoured than his neighbour who has simply ob tained a competence by some lucky accident. So an office which represents the free choice of a great nation is more honourable, and ought to be more honoured, than that which is reached by means entirely independent or. in defiance of the wishes of the people.

We speak of that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, when we assert that of all the vagaries of President Johnson none have so completely disgusted his coun trymen and rendered them so heart-sick as this. Th ey feel, as Americans, that their Pr esident should b e re ti cent in speech, and should make himself heard through his official utterances and his public acts. But if his tongue is so unruly that it cannot be restrained, they feel, at least, that he should address himself to his - own people, and not to a professed public enemy pefresehlse.eule'threY and; the i4 , i t s .n t z i e t s ut h i o a t; s s which he re - raged, and insulted, and calumniated o the n A fte in n er o ie n a t n . nation, that when the ' President consorts with it or any of its re presentatives , all Americans feel nity, and that, instead sein f °ling that his indiscretion is a Congressional im peachment, a medi ca l com e • his mental condition wouldvery like insa- Lnission to inquire into I r v e n t o We have felt it our duty e t the more appropriate. l i v a n d a i t sc n n an ever States.n oe t committed by a comment in very but consider the plain t e termspl or a n b n l President of the United sire- not to be misunderstood by Bout English ldiseb friends. We are most sincerely anxious that the people of this country should respect the American people ; and any attempt on the part of the PRE sIDENT, consistent with dignity and decency, to con ciliate the good opinion of England, would be not only unobjectionable, but highly commendable. If President Johnson had instructed Mr. S eward to to explain his domestic policy . Sir Frederic Bruce, for communication to the Government' and the people of Great Britain, we might , have questio ne d the expediency, but not the decency, of the pro ceeding. In giving a two hours' conference to a representative of a foreign newspaper, for the ,purpose of explaining to such a n auditor the details of his domestic policy, he is placed in the position of one who, having arrayed himself against his own people, appeals to foreigners and detractors for support and sympathy. If any of our English readers imagine we are putting this matter too strongly, let us ask them what they would think of their Queen if she were to send for the representative of the New York Herald, and, in a two hours' audience, condescend to explain to that sapient individual the differences between the Ministry and the Opposition in Par liament on the subject of Reform ? The President of the United States occupies the same relative position as the Queen of the United Kingdom. He is the highest personage in the land—alike the Go vernor and the Commander-in -Chief. An act which would amount Simply to a folly if perpetrated by any other becomes in him not merely a grave misdemeanour, but a high crime—a crime against the society which he represents. As such his late indecorous conversation with the Times' Cor respondent will be regarded by his intelligent countrymen. We do not venture to predict the feeling with which that c onversa ti on w ill be received in America when its details become known bit we think it not out of plac e t o s t a t e th a t the mail of this day .will carry out letters from several prominent Americans n London, addressed to Secretary Seward, and remonstrating against this latest vagary of the President, which is felt to reflect so much discredit upon his high office. And it is right to add that many who most cordially support the President's reconstruction policy, and who most strenuously oppose the recent proceedings of Con gress, will join in the expression of their regret and shame at the transaction to which we have adverted. Railway and other Companies. SUNNINGDALE AND CAMBRIDGE TOWN, A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, for the purpose of considering a bill for altering, in some particulars, the authorised construction of the railway and its extensions ; Mr. Moon in the chair. The bill empowered the directors to make some judicious alterations in the railway, and to raise £20,000 in shares, and to borrow £6,000. It was stated that the additional capital was required- for the purchase of land. It had been estimated that the cost of land would be £7,000, but the estimate would be exceeded. After a short discussion, in which some dissatis faction was expressed atthe delay in the commence ment of the works, the bill was approved.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY:— The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETFI are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite certaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. Thfs system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produzed. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

No connection with any one of the same name.- SPIRIT OF THE-Pintrao-TOTTAVALS. - TIMES.—The Bill for the Redistribution of Seats introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night is so simple in its conception, so practical in its details, and, as far as we can at present de termine, so just in its principles, that We ask with wonder why it was not introduced before. A ready answer would be that the plan of the bill has only recently been accepted by the Government, and it might even be insinuated that it had been moulded to suit the temper of the House of Com mons ' • but, if Mr. Gladstone was rightly under stood last night, this explanation of the mystery must be set aside, since he insisted that the Cabinet had all along determined upon what they intended to propose. We are driven to attribute the great mistake which has been committed to some evil genius whose baneful advice lured the Government to the very brink of ruin. Nothing has been gained by keeping back the Redistribution Bill ; on the contrary, much precious time has been lost, and sus picions of the designs of the Ministry excited, which are more easily roused than allayed. The chief re sult of the false strategy adopted is that we have now before us a complete measure, which, with some few alterations not affecting its principles, might be made acceptable to reasonable men of all parties, and serve as a settlement of reform for a generation; and we are distressed by doubts whether, by any possible compression of debate, the measure can be passed beforeParliamentis prorogued. The question is one of time, and we have lost so many days in the preliminary skirmish that the result is doubtful. The outline of the Redistribution Bill is simple. No constituency is disfranchised, but some constituen cies returning two members are deprived of one of them, and no less than 41 small boroughs are grouped together according to their geographical re lation in 16 groups, returning one or two mem b ers each, according to thei r population. Forty-nine seats are thus obtained, 26 of which it is proposed to dis tribute among the counties, 16 among the boroughs, and seven are to be bestowed upon Scotland. Par liamentary are to, be made conterminous with mu nicipal boundaries now and henceforth, and a bill is to be laid upon the table giving the Queen in coun cil authority, subject to the assent of Parliament, to extend municipal boundaries from time to time, ' upon the petition of the inhabitants of the boroughs to be extended and of the suburbs to be included within them. These are the principal details of a scheme which can shock no one either as inadequate or ' too sweeping. The boroughs deprived of a member and grouped together are those whose population in 1861 was less than 8,000. In proposing to diminish towns, Mr. Gladstone led recent experience theck acknowledged that privileges of these coae p r e d t i t n y g t otwo they did not serve now as the nursing-places of young statesmen, whatever they may have done for merly; and it is not necessary to scrutinizetoo closely his statement, indicating some lingering fondness for them, that small boroughs are not proved to be more corrupt than their larger neighbours. The resolution to deal only with boroughs numbering less than 8,000 inhabitants according to the census of 1861 will, like any other rough-and-ready rule, produce many anomalous results, but it cannot be suspected of being adopted for party purposes. Ta vistock had a population somewhat exceeding 8,000 in 1861, and keeps its two members ; but the popu lation of Tavistock is now estimated at more than 9,000; while Stamford, which had 8,047 inhabitants in 1861 and now has no more than 7,638, is equally fortunate in preserving its privileges. Chichester is another place which keeps its two members, though so as to l eave some its population has fallen below 8,000. T here is, undoubtedly, scope for management i n th e group finavgouorfedb dis cover traces of it in the groups pr o p ose d b y the Government. Boroughs in which Cabi ne t Mi n i sters and prominent members of the Gover nment are in terested fare no Better than the rest. It is intended to give one member to each group containing less than 15,000 inhabitants, two members to the more populous groups ; and, accordingly, we find T o t nes coupled with Dartmouth and Ashburton, so that the three will return but one member instead of four, Richmond and Northallerton returning one instead of three, and Ripon, linaresborough, and Thirsk returning two instead of five. We do not think any objection can reasonably be taken to the groups proposed to be formed, but it would have been an obvious improvement if other small towns not now represented at all had been added to these groups. The addition of such towns would help the process of purifica tion which it is one object of grouping to attain, and would have been a prudent concession to the jealousy which apprehends that county constituen- , GIRVAN AND KIRKPATRICK. The second half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at Stranraer ; Mr. D. Guthrie in the chair. The report stated that the undertaking had met with encouraging support in Wigtownshire and Ayrshire; a large number of farmers had subscribed, and some of the larger landowners had agreed to take the value of their property required for the railway in shares of the company. The directors deemed it of the highest importance that all the capital should be subscribed before commencing the works. The heavier portion of the works, how ever, if deemed expedient, might be commenced on an early day. First-claes steamers now per formed the passage daily between Stranraer and Belfast. They were put on by the Caledonian Railway Company, the ultimate success of Ni hich service would mainly - depend on the opening up of direct communication with Glasgow, Ayrshire, and the West of. Scotland. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said they did not expect to raise all the capital in the district, and that they depended for support on the Glasgow and South-Western Com pany, who had already • promised them £50,000. The establishment of their line was essential to the successful maintenance of the short sea passage. The report was adopted and the directors and auditors were re-elected. RAILWAY BILLS.

Th e s hi p wou l d first lay the new cable from Ireland to Newfoundland as she went out, which, if successful, would entitle them to £25,000 stock, and on her return would lay the remainder of the first cable; so that if they should be able to lay and complete the two cables success fully, they would have the £50,000 preference stock for the first cable, and the £25,000 stock for the second cable, which would of itself make a very large dividend. Under the new charter they were in re ceipt of £l,OOO a month, out of which they proposed toappropriate £6,000 for a dividend at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, by whieh they would be placed in the position, as Great Eastern shareholders, of having got one dividend out of the great ship, He would be glad to answer any questions that might be asked. Mr. BARBER seconded the motion for the adep, tion of the report. In reply to a question it was stated that the three_ tors did not intend to issue further shares during the time the ship was chartered, as they had no use for additional capital. There was some probability that a third cable would be laid, -if the two others were successful. In the two years they would receive £40,000 for the use of the ship, and if successful, the other contingent advantages. Mr. PYFINCII thought they had better reserve all the money to fit out the ship for the American trade after the cables were laid. He thought that a much larger sum than £20,000 a year should have been obtained for the use of the ship. Mr. ROBINSON read the new charter for the ship, which gave an option to the charterers, after layin g the two cables, on giving 28 days' notice to keep the charter in force 12 calendar months longer ; and in the case of the successful laying of another cable, the Ship Company were to receive £lO per mile for each mile of cable laid. The Rev. Mr. NICHOISON was much surprised that any one should be dissatisfied with what had been done by the directors. He congratulated the share holders on the arrangement. They were greatly indebted to the direetors for advancing money to pay the deposit for the purchase of the ship, and for all they had since done, and they all ought to feel very thankful to them forgetting the favour. able terms they had got for the company. Mr. THORPE considered that if the present ar rangements were carried out successfully the ex isting shareholders would get back 15s, in the pound, leaving the Great Ship to stand in their books at a cost of ss. in the pound. He proposed that all shares in arrear should be forfe ited. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to various questions, said that if they had asked for a large sum for the use of the ship, they would not have got it. The capital for making the cable had been got with great diffi culty. The directors had done the best they could for the company under the circumstances, and if the operations were successful, the contingent advan tages might be worth from 05;000 to £lOO,OOO. The report and statement of accounts were una nimously adopted. The directors were requested to consider the propriety of forfeiting theunpaidshares forthwith ; Mr. Gooch, the retiring director, was re-elected ; Messrs. Banner and Son were reap pointed auditors : and the directors were authorised to pay an interim dividend of 8 per cent. in July next. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. Theatrical Licenses and Regulations. The committee of the House of Commons ap pointed to inquire into the state of the law affecting theatrical, licences and regulations reassembled yes terday—the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, the chair. Mr. Tom Taylor was examined, and said that which was most objectionable at music halls was most at tractive. He did not think that if pieces of a higher class than were produced at music halls were given it would elevate the people who frequent them. He did not think that either authors or actors suffered from the present monopoly. He objected to everything which tended to turn the theatre into a public-house. The drama flourished more under monopoly than free trade, and it was patro nised by a higher class when under monopoly. He would advocate a restraint even on " patent " theatres, especially with regard to burlesques. He would like to sec a high-class theatre subsidised by Government, and maintained as a high school of art. He did not approve of political plays being pro duced. No censorship could put down plays at the present day. If the late Duke of Kent were intro duced as a character in a play, the public taste would immediately put down the play. Music halls ought not to be in the hands of men who looked only to what they put into their pockets, irrespec tive of the character of the pieces they put on the stage. He disapproved of burlesques, and thought they injured the dram and the actors. The present 'censorship of the drama operated well upon it. Ile was not in favour of licensing the music halls, so that they could perform dramatic pieces. Mr. Wigan, manager of the Olympic Theatre, was re-examined, and said he was in favour of free trade in theatres, and he believed that if to-morrow he built a theatre, the Lord Chamberlain would not, and in the present state of society dare not, refuse him a licence for that theatre. Mr. Nelson Lee was examined, and said there was more freedom at the music halls than could be indulged in at the theatres. The comic songs and the ballet were the chief attractions at the music halls. The permission to perform plays at the music halls would ruin those establishments as well as the theatres. He would not, even if permitted, allow drinking in any part of a theatre. He had no objection to the production of ballets at music halls. Mr. Turner, theatrical agent, said there was a great demand for actors, and he found considerable difficulty in supplying town and country managers. He did not think that music halls were a school for actors. A greater number of educated men joined the theatrical profession now than for merly, nrcouldadm dramatic barristersprocured frequently evciu engagements,se less. . but still the actual number of actors who applied a ers to of w t it h n e ess arn f l o y r but he did not think that any of those gentlemen would like to feather their wings by flying to music halls. It was most objec tionable to have the drama performed before per sons who were smoking. Mr. Hollingshed, dramatic author, was examined previous to the adjournment of the committee.
