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 acco mmodation, refused admittance, and h ave 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 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.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear et pain and dread of ope-ation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEKTFI 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 bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain. a speeialite pertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the support•ng 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 tear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from 55. bets from 5 to 25 get., warranted.

The following is the official report of the Naval Court, held at Colon, to inquire into the circum stances attending the loss of the steamship Euro pean :—" The court, after maturely considering the evidence taken before it, is of opinion—first, that the first explosion was caused by 70 cases of an ex plosive compound, described in the bills of lading as glonoine oil, and it has come to this conclusion rather from the absence of any other cause suffi cient to account for the accident than from any direct evidence with respect to the glonoine oil. It has not been possible to ascertain where the glonoine oil was stowed, nor whether it was being discharged at the time of the accident, nor do any of the sur vivors of the ship appear to have been aware that such a substance was on board. The only direct evidence that haslranspired on this point is from the bills of lading for through traffic, now in the hands of the railway officials at this place, one of which specifies7o cases of glonoine oil as having been shipped by Messrs. Guion and Co., of Liverpool, to Messrs. Bunduvann, Nielson, and Co., of San Fran cisco. It appears, as nearly as it has been possible from the evidence to fix its position, that the explo sion took place in the after lower 'tween decks, just before and below the saloon, all the men employed in this part of the vessel having been killed, and one man immediately underneath this part being the only survivor of those employed in the after hold; moreover, the testimony of Captain Hoare, of the Caribbean, and the chief engineer of the European, as to the position of the plates blown out by the ex plosion, is conclusive on this point, so that it only remains to ascertain the exact position in which the glonoine oil was stowed when the ship was in Liver pool to complete the chain of evidence as to its having been the cause of the catastrophe. It has fur ther been shown that the first explosion could not have been caused either by the bursting of any of the ship's boilers or the explosion of the magazine, and the abselice pf the smoke or smell of gunpowder, together with the testimony of a medical man as to the nature of the injuries caused by this explosion not being like those caused by gunpowder or steam, all tend to the same conclusion. 2. That the explo sion which occurred while the European was in tow of the Tamar was caused by some explosive mate rial which, if we take it for granted that the glonoine oil had all been disposed of by the first explosion, as also that the small quantity of powder in the ship's magazine was insufficient to account for this last explosion, must have been culpably shipped under designation simply of merchandise' no explosive material except the glonoine oil being mentioned in the bills of lading. 3. With this exception, nothing was found among the bills of lading that would have led to the belief that there was anything of a dan gerous nature among the cargo. In the majority of the bills of lading the cargo was designated sim ply as 'merchandise' only, a very few of them enter ing more minutely into particulars. 4. It has ap peared in evidence that a shipment of 44 cases was made by Messrs. Jose F. Tomschitz, of Liverpool, described in the bill of lading as ' R. E. 1 to 44. Merchandise.' It has also appeared in evidence that a case marked R. E. 25,' which doubtless was one of the 44 here mentioned, was recovered from the wreck, and sold by order of Lloyd's agent at this port, and found to contain, under an outside layer of quill-pens, about 100,000 percussion caps, lead ing the Court to infer that any quantity of explosive material may have been among the cargo of the European without its appearing on the bills of lad ing or ship's manifest. 5. The Court direct that three doubloons be paid to its clerk, and that Mr T. C. Taylor, her Majesty's Vice-Consul at Colon, cause an account of this and the other ex penses incurred in its proceedings to be furnished to Mr. C. A. Henderson, her Majesty's Consul at Panama, with a request that he pay the same and charge the amount in accordance with paragraph 119 of the general instructions to Consuls. cc TricalAS A. H.

Sir Stafford Northeote attended a banquet held by the Conservative party of North Devon, in com memoration of the hon. baronet's return to. Parlia ment on Wednesday last. In returning thanks to the toast of his health, Sir STAFFORD said—Now, two or three words about the Conservative party. Mr. Bright says he wants to get rid of the To, ies because they are the enemies to everything that is good ;_ by which he means that the Conservative party are opposed to anything in the shape of progress or which is for the benefit of the country. I say that is the direct op posite of the truth. Ido not mean to say that there are not in this country a few persons that may be bigoted—who may be afraid of any change—who are opposed to all progress, and who are alarmed at the transfer of power to the lower orders of the country, but that I can truly say is not the feel ing of the great bulk of the Conservative party ; and what we are anxious to do is, to organise a party which will look out for and defend, as far as lies in its power, all the interests and all the institutions of the country. If you see the Conservatives—as you do see them —more com monly in the position of putting on the drag, rather than in the position of urging on the horses, it is because the reins of the Government are in the hands of the Liberal party. (Hear, and cheers.) What we are called upon to do is, to apply the drag to prevent the Liberal party going too - fait' dciwn hills. (Cheers.) But it does not follow that a man who puts on the drag in dangerous places is opposed to progress. Perhaps he is the best friend of progress, because there is nothing that is such a real enemy to progress as upsetting the coach. (Laughter and cheers.) And depend upon it that whenever it happens—if ever it does—that a Con servative Government is in power, and they have entrusted to them the management of the interests of the country, they will drive at a fair and steady pace, and they will not consider it a part of their duty to promote the interests of the one or the other section of the community, but endeavour to the best of their power to promote the welfare of all classes. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, with re ference to the Church, there is no man more de sirous to support and maintain the 'connection between Church and State than I am ; but am I therefore desirous to overlook or think lightly of the rights of those who dissent from her commu nion ? Quite the contrary. I will say for myself, and I think it is the feeling of the Conversative party generally, that the rights of Dissenters ought to be respected, that their consciences ought to be protected, and that their civil and religious liberty ought to be promoted as much as our own. But we believe it is for the interest of the country—not for the interest of the Church of England alone— that we should maintain the Church Establishment; and we believe we are consulting the true interests of Dissenters, as well as ourselves, by maintaining the rightful connection between Church and State. (Cheers.) So I would say, when we are told we desire to protect the interests of the landed classes. I say we are anxious to support the landed inte rest, but we do not close our eyes to the import ance of maintaining other interests also. Do not let us hear that we are mere obstructives, for we are prepared in every way to promote and advance the prosperity of this country ; but we desire to do it safely and moderately, to keep ourselves aloof from those who wish to Americanise our institu tions. Against those we take our stand. I hope eventually to see the time when Liberals and Tories will unite to form a Government prepared to act not in the interest of a party, but in the interest of England as a nation. The Bombardment of Valparaiso. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE AXERICAN COMMODORE. The following is the despatch in which the com modore in command of the American squadron at Valparaiso communicates to hi 9 Government the circumstances attending the late bombardment of that city : Uhited States Steamship Vanderbilt, Valparaiso, March 31, 1866. Sir,—l have the honour to announce that upon my arrival in this port with the squadron under my command I called upon the English admiral, who had informed me that he intended to prevent any sudden bombardment, and would only suffer it after ample notice. To this I made no reply ; but, having considered the matter, sought the occasion next day to say I would join him in preventing any sudden bombardment, and that I would also go as much farther as he chose. I assured him that the Monad nock could take care of the Numancia; that from target experiments I had witnessed I was absolutely certain that in not loss than 30 seconds, and not more than 30 minutes, the Monadnock herself, :entirely unassisted, would leave only the mastheads of the Numancia above Water, and that our wooden vessels, English and American, could look out for the wooden vessels of the Spaniards. In thus offering to go beyond the letter of my instructions to observe a strict neutrality I acted upon the supposition that neutrality among the nations did not preclude all well -directed efforts to keep the peace among them ; that as a peaceable citizen is not obliged to stand by inert while another is suffering from unlawful violence of a third person, but may justly interfere with force to prevent an infraction of the laws —a murder, for example—so a nation, witnessing the like disturbance among her sister nations, need not rest absolutely impassive, but with sincere neutrality might interfere with force, if necessary, to keep the operation of belligerents at least within the law for the protection of neutral persons and neutral property. I considered that Spain had lost her colonies under a stringent colonial policy and religious intolerance. In the course of time, encouraged by the more liberal laws of a state of freedom, foreigners had been induced to settle in the country and to embark their capital in commerce and other industrial pursuits. Towns had sprung up along the coast, railroads had been built, and other material interests developed. Ideas as Well as manufactures had been introduced, and wealth and in telligence meanwhile remaining with the foreigners. At last Chili had reached the goal in human progress, marked by the establishment of religious toleration, and now Spain, on a point of etiquette rather than from any great political end, as I believe, proposes to burn the property and destroy the towns along the sea-coast as far as she sees fit. is it right that she should thus exercise her power of destruc tion, unrestrained, along the shores of this continent? The mode of warfare which Spain prepOses is terrible, but it seems to me such as will provoke private animosity rather than coerce national will, and therefore that it is not directed to its legitimate end, and consequently that such warfare might be resisted. lam aware that action in the premises on our part involves great responsibilities, but I had reached the conclusion that, with England as an ally, it was my duty now to show them. I told the English admiral what I have written, and frankly added that his commerce was more extensive than ours and more conve nient to the coast of Spain ; but as he had more to suffer in consequence of a rupture with Spain, he had also more to preserve by interference ; that his interests in Chili rose to thousands, while ours were only hundreds, The English admiral said at first that ho would go with me ; for I plainly declared that I would not take a step without him. I said that I had no intention of becoming a cat'spaw to draw Eur opean chestnuts out of the fire, and then have the Power I served laughing at my singed paws while they enjoyed the fruits of my temerity. The English admiral finally de termined to throw the responsibility upon the English Minister, who did not choose to act in the premises. Eng lish co-operation having failed, 'no separate action on my part was taken, as none had been promised. I have used such measures as I could to bring about, an accommodaticn, but without success. This morning at 9 o'clock the Spa nish admiral opened upon the town with shot and shell, directing his fireprincipally against public buildings and store-houses. After a - continuous bombardment of two hours and fifty minutes the firing ceased, and the Spanish admiral withdrew his vessels. Four of the stone buildings connected with the customhouse were destroyed with their contents. Other adjoining buildings used for the same pur pose were very much injured. The value of merchandise destroyed in these was vaguely estimated at some 22 mil lions of dollars. The Intendencia, or Government-house , the Bolsa, or exchange, and the railroad building, were da maged to a considerable extent. Naturally and inevitab l y parts of the city which the Spanish admiral declare received d th issiles t . he did not intend to injure many of - Several blocks of private buildings wore destlohyiso t ed. m issiles. Several and churches, convents, and hospitals wer e n from injury. Few lives were lost, not more than eight or ten.

C STATE OF TRADE. and late heavy LEEDS, May 15.—There has been a rather small attend obnfouthgeht'market as a p n lees of f nd they few general p an u c ro e h o a f se b a u v ya ery rs isnpatihiengclloyt.h-mhaelelsgrtehaiseges,orwunitehntgi w goods,goodsere maintained. in aoir nw b t a o i in t u h t eedr.andcoatingsT autumn, and Taking mte the er wereot u o s ri e in dication of financial stability, it was much more cheerful than at the market on Saturday. There is a collapse of orders and sales of goods for Germany, which is felt to be an in conVenieike—in soma lieftrtets, but not so much strit cause positive stagnation in any Particular branch of the woollen trade. Should war unfortunately break out on the Continent, the evil effects of it here will be spread among houses which have been far from confining their export trade to Germany, and therefore it will be less severely felt than it otherwise would have been. The representatives of home-trade houses are, as well as the export ones, operating cautiously, and were lookers-on rather than buyers to-day. Wools are nom i na ll y th e same as last week. LEICESTER, 16th.—There has been a fair business doing in hosiery goods during the past few days. The high price of morkey, however, checks speculation. Goods usually in demand at this time of the year are printing to some ex tent. In the rural districts business is in a satisfactory condition. Worsted yarns are without material alteration in price. The wool market remains quiet, and prices are not much changed, all business being for immediate re quirements. - Cotton yarns dull. Norma-11Am, 16th.—There has been a shade more doing in some descriptions of lace goods during the past few days. A little more business is doing in Spanish goods for shawls, but manufacturers operate with great caution, not knowing what the summer fashions will be. Sprigged nets for falls are also finishing to a fair extent. Plain silk mechlius aro still in request. There is no improvement in the demand for black laces or narrow edgings. In cotton goods there is a trifle more doing in the plain trade. The hoseiry trade continues active. Goods for the home trade department are in demand, and orders for shipping are on hand. The workpeople are all fully employed at good wages. Yarns are unaltered in value. THE BUILDING TRADES.—A meeting of delegates from the London carpenters and joiners was held last night at the Brown Bear, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, for the pur pose of receiving reports from the delegates as to how far the various building firms have acted upon the resolution of the association employers to pay the advance of 8d per hour to the men on Saturday last. The Chairman saidthey would first receive the reports from the delegates of those firms who had paid the advance, and then from those firms, if any, where it had been refused; and it would be the duty of the delegates to deal with the latter class of firms as they might deem expedient. The delegates from those firmspay ing the advance then reported, from which it appears that with scarcely an exception the leading firms in the trade had carried out the resolution and paid the advance last Saturday. The delegates from Perry's, Stratford (36 men), Wells's, Stapleford's, Thorpe's, Sander's, Bywater's (50 men), Colt's (20 men), Manly's and Roger's, and a few other small firms, reported that the advance had been refused on various grounds. The delegate from Perry's stated that the men had suspended work since Monday last until they could obtain a definite reply from the employer. Aftersome discussion it was decided to deal with Perry's firm first, and the following resolution was adapted unanimously : " That the men in the employ of Mr. Perry be requested to wait upon that gentleman to-morrow morning, with a list of those firms who have given the advance, and in the event of Mr. Perry still refusing to pay the Bd. per hour, this meeting empowers the men at once to leave his employ, and pledges itself to support them in so doing." It was also resolved that the men in the other firms who had refused the advance should at once make application to the em ployer for it, and report the result to an adjourned dele gate meeting before taking further action. The meeting then adjourned. THE SAL3ION FISHERY ACT, 1865.—The Special Commissioners appointed under the Salmon Fishery Act, 1865, to inquire into the legality of the fixed nets and en gines in the salmon rivers of England have just completed their sittings at Newport and Chepstow for the Usk and Wye estuaries and portions of the Severn estuary, and have delivered some important decisions bearing on the ques tion of the use of putchers in the tideway of those rivers for taking salmon. The decisions (which were reserved at Newport), were delivered by Mr. Eden, the chief com missioner, at the Chepstow sitting of the Commissioners this week. A claim made by the Duke of Beaufort to a fishery at Redwick, on the Severn estuary, was one which guided numerous other cases, and the Chief Commissioner, in delivering judgment, said it had been proved that the duke had had from time immemorial a right to use a rank of pults—a large wicker contrivance for taking small fish, and which sometimes took salmon, and that some time between 1843 and 1848 putchers—a small wicker contrivance used solely for taking salmon—had been introduced and used at 250 yards' distance from the site of the pults. The Commissioners found that fishing by means of putchers was a different mode of fishing from that by pults. The fishery right was claimed under a char ter of Edward 1., who confirmed a grant by the Earl of Pembroke to the abbot and monks of Tintern Abbey of lands and a fishery right. No particular user, however, was mentioned in the grant, and the immemorial user only proved a right to fish by pults. They decided that the right to use one mode of fishing in a navigable river could not authorise the use of a different mode of fishing esta lished on a different site, even though the site (as was not the case hero) were within the limits of the several fishery, if such different mode was also a derogation of Magna Charts and the public right. They considered a grant by the Crown of a pult fishery did not include a putcher fishery. The result of their opinion was, that the Duke of Beaufort was entitled to a certificate for the pults only, but that the 200 putchers now in use were illegal and must be at once removed. Similar decisions were pro nounced in regard to other claims of a like nature. In ono called the Goldcliff fishery, belonging to Eton Col lege, some thousand pults were claimed. These the Com missioners decided were all illegal but they authorised the use of 127 pults in the same fishery. The effect of these decisions will be that all the putchers at the mouth of the Usk will have to be removed. THE WATERLOO VASE AND THE DUKE'S STATUE.— We suggest that the great Waterloo vase, removed from the National Gallery to the North Court of the South Kensington Museum—where it badly answers its purpose as a trophy, and occupies a large space that is valuable— should be erected where it can be seen and cease to be in the way. For many years this work was placed in a dark hall at Trafalgar-square; now one can see no more than half of it. Surely it deserves a place of display. It is too big to be in -doors, and should occupy a pedestal in one of the parks, or in front of Buckingham Palace. A ruthless critic proposes that it should be erected on the top of the Marble Arch, so as to form a pendant to the Big Dukeon Constitution-bill. Wer say, put the Big Duko on . pro perly proportioned pedestal, so as at once t .t o e m o lk a 3 0 1 1 , 1: best of it and relieve the arch.

His royal highness will most probably take his seat iu the House of Lords on Thursday, the 24th of May, her Majesty's birthday. As it has been rumoured that his Highness the Prince of Teck is still in the Austrian army, and that in the event of war he would have to join his regiment, it may be well to state that, though the Prince retains his uniform, according to custom, yet he is no longer in the army. Should war break out, his highness would, of cours', tender his ser vices to the Emperor, who, however, we trust, will not require them. Mr. Molet has been recalled from Vienna, the impending war having rendered it impossible to proceed for the present with the proposed com mercial treaty. The delay, however, will not pro bably be without service, and will afford time for maturing a more extended and satisfactory scheme. Mr. Algernon E. West, late Private Secretary to. Viscount Halifax and Lord De Grey, has been ap pointed Deputy Director of Indian Military Funds. Mr. Shaw Lefevre, M.l'., the new Civil Lord of the Admiralty, has appointed Mr. Carmichael his Private Secretary. The Royal Commission for inquiry into the system of recruiting for her Majesty's forces has been nominated, as We announced, under the presidency of Lord Dalhousie. A few facts with regard to the French army may be of interest. The general belief that the vacancies in its ranks are filled by the con scription is erroneous. In 1864-65 the numerical strength of the French army was 408,465 men, amongst whom there were : —Volunteers, 16,853 ; re-engaged men (after discharge) originally drawn in conscription, 18,240; re-engaged, before liberation, 105,484; making a total of 139,577 men 440491 per 110braerviLig.as volwho le-unteers in my. the ranks a—llied about 34 cent. of the ar As to the subject, we give the following details of the crimes an d punishments in the French army during the same year :—Charged with crime, 5,703 ; abandoned, 711; tried, 4,992 ; convicted, 3,985 ; acquitted, 1,007. The severest sentences were— Death, 100 ; commuted, 20 ; executed, 80 ; hard labour for life, 169 ; commuted, 40 ; imprisonment for long periods, 436 ; public works, 436. The ar tillery force was 36,085 men, of whom 291 were accused, and 243 convicted. It is probable that measures will shortly be taken to place all the electric telegraph lines in the coun try in the hands of the Post-office, with a view t o the establishment of a low and uniform rate of charge for telegrams. An inquiry into the policy and operation of the patent laws will before long be made either by a commission or by a Parliamentary committee. NE IV r, , .• til l Apl i .

The Times comments upon the bombardment of Valparaiso and the conduct of Admiral Denman, and defends him against the allegations made on behalf of the British merchants. These allegations are embodied in the resolutions passed at a meeting of British subjects on the 28th of March, and read by Colonel Edwards to the House of Commons. They here represent that " positive assurances" had been given them by the Admiral that he would pre vent a general bombardment, by force if necessary, notwithstanding which he allowed it to be carried into effect, pleading the inferiority of his armament, yet declining the proffered assistance of a powerful United States' squadron. T hey urge that in the ab sence of specialinstructions from home the Admiral was bound on his own judgment to protect " those interests which are especially confided to his protec tion," and they charge Mr. Thomsan (who had already been suspected of undue subservience to the Chilian Government) with "passive submissson to the abuses of the Spanish squadron." The document concludes with an expression of thanks to the Ame rican Minister and Commodore, and an appeal to the British public. Our contemporary refers to the speech of the Duke of Somerset that Admiral Den man had been directed " to observe the strictest neutrality towards the contending parties," and would have incurred the censure of the Admiralty had he interfered with the bombardment after due notice given. It appears, indeed, that he had threatened some time previously to open fire on the Spanish fleet in case the latter should proceed to bombard the town without notice, and by assuming this attitude had, in the Duke's opinion, somewhat exceeded his instructions. Being pressed by the merchants after the final notice was given, he replied that, however h e m i g h t deplore the attack on a de fenceless town, it would be a breach of neutrality and an act of war to interfere. In the statement which he has transmitted to the Admiralty he entirely denies that he ever held out any hope of armed in tervention, or that he referred to the inadequacy of his naval force as a reason for inaction. He also negatives the assertion that he declined the co operation of the United States' Commodore, whose instructions were similar to his own. Mr. Layard explains the probable origin of this misapprehen sion, on the authority of the Spanish Minister, and emphatically contradicts the story that, after the conflagration, the aid of American sailors was cor dially welcomed, while that of British sailors was rejected by the inhabitants. In short, the official account of the whole transaction differs in many important respects from that which first reached us, and which, it is right to add, purports to rest in part on a letter from Commodore Rodgers himself. It relieves Admiral Denman from an imputation in consistent with his well-known character, it throws on the merchants themselves a large share of blame for neglecting repeated warnings to remove their goods beyond the reach of danger, and it leaves no doubt as to the direct responsibility of the Spanish Government for this great outrage against the usages of civilised warfare. THE WATER SUPPLY OF LIVERPOOL —Yesterday there was a long discussion on the falling off in the water supply of Liverpool, particularly as to its bearing on the sanitary state of the town. The chairman of the Water Committee stated that the short supply was easily accounted for by the dry summers of 1864 and 1865. To counter balance this they had sunk additional wells, and had ob tained Parliamentary powers to use water hitherto supplied in compensation to manufacturers near the works.
