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.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTIST RY.— The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL .TENTH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist.' In ' a practice founded in 1830, and now extending 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 speeialita c ertaining 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 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 produced. Consultation iree. Teeth from ss, Sets from b to 25 go., warranted.

Parliament adjourned last night for the Whitsun tide holidays. When the House of Comm Ons reas sembles, the Franchise Bill and the Seats Bill, then rolled into ' on 3, will be ready for committee. It will first be necessary to clear away a cloud of in structions on going into committee, M r . B ouver i e ' s being one ; and it is possible that we may be .fav oured, on the motion for-going into committee, with a few of the speeches that by a fiasco were not de livered this week on the second reading of the Seats Bill. Committee once gained, the clauses will be taken seriatim. The figure of the borough franchise will be keenly fought by the ConservAtives, with such Adullamite help as they can obtain. They will try and put up the county franchise to £2O or £3O. But the most objectional feature of the bill to the Derbyites is the leaseholders' and copyholders' clause. Assuming that no speeches are made for delay, and that the Government do not throw up the bill in consequence of defeat upon some vital principle of the bill, we may imagine the bill carried up to the Lords somewhere about the end of July. What will the Lords do with it? The Govern ment Reform Bill of 1866 will be the first that has gained the table of the Upper House since the great Reform Bill of 1832. This of itself will give the treasure an historical importance commensurate with the responsibility thus thrown upon our here ditary legislators. The word is passed round that the Derbyite peers are "prepared to act with - vigour and decision ;" but they protest against any unne cessary strain being thrown upon them. The whips have received instructions to urge the-Conservatives in the Lower House to get the waggon out of the mire for themselves, instead of calling upon Jupi ter. They deprecate the language occasionally heard from thoughtless members of the Opposition " We need not trouble ourselves about such or such a clause ; the Lords are sure to strike it out." Lord Derby is exceeding anxious that the clauses which he is expected to amend and modify should be carried in the Lower House by as narrow a ma jority as possible, if they are carried at all, so that their lordships may not be called upon to act against an overwhelming weight of House of Commons _ . . opinion. These precautions having been taken, the Conser vative peers will probably succeed in making every amendment in the bill which Mr. Disraeli endeavours without success to carry in the Commons. Thus the bill, say about the middle or end of August, will come back to the Commons. There will be plenty of timid and temporising reformers who will protest against so much time being lost, and who will en treat the Government to agree to some compromise with the Derbyite peers. If the Government con sent, there will be a conference, and much wrang ling and htiggling ; and perhaps the result may be, in the last eek in August or the first week in Sep tember, the passing of a mutilated bill that will satisfy nobody, and perchance shake the confidence which the advanced Liberal party at present feel in the Government. Is there no alternative ? When the House of Commons is asked to go into committee en a com prehensive Reform Bill in the last week in May, will not every stage of the bill be discussed with hurry and precipitation ? In the Lower House will not the cry be raised—" We shall be too late for the Lords ?" In the Upper House shall we not be pretty sure to have a motion to postpone the bill to another session in consequence of the lateness of its arrival ? If it should be defeated, will not the Com mons be sorely tompted to " scamp" their work, and to accept unwise amendments because the Govern ment are really beaten by time? The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in introducing his Seats Bill, had to deal with the probability of carrying the amalga mated measure at a very late period of the session, and, in a tone of half banter, which was perfectly understood, and which raised a storm of disapproval, not unmixed with laughter, at the absurdity of the suggestion, he hinted at the desirableness of an ad journed session in October or November. New M.P.'s already find the work harder than they had bargained for, and admit that the " count out" is a Parliamentary institution of the greatest wisdom and usefulness. There is an alternative. Seeing that Toryism and " cold obstruction" will be the sole gainers by going on with the bill this session, I must, with your per- . mission, again raise my voice while there is time, and counsel the timely withdrawal of the bill. Bring in the complete bill on the fi rs t d ay of next session, and by Easter some prog ress may have been ample made in committee. Th e Lords will havetime for deliberatio n ; a b ove all—and this is of extreme importance—public opinion will have time to make itself heard against any restric tion of popular rights, and any reactionary and ob structive amendments which the Tory Peers may succeed in carrying. I defy th e most sanguine oil chancefnrtrhieedpo conference r e fi n enr t ge session Liberal to assert that the unentfhraeinrcihnifiseudencleaes bringing ge that must take place to se s b w e a i l r l a d h t a u r v t i h e n e g a e f the a a i d r houses. It is, I think, demonstrable that the Libe ral party have everything to lose and nothing to gain by going on with the bill, and that the Govern ment would would fight the battle of Reform at a much greater advantage next session. If we go on, and go into committee on the bill, every day occu pied in the discussion will be an additional reason for doing something, and accepting some kind of a Re form Bill at the hands and under the dictation of the Upper House. Members will recollect how little - - else they will have to show for the session, and may in sheer despair urge the Government to accept some mutilated and unsatisfactory measure, which the people out of doors may refuse to accept as a settle ment of the question. These may be but Cassandra like vaticinations, but I confe ss I w i s h to rescue the short. remainder of the session for bankruptcy .re form, church rate legislation, tenant-right settle- T T J.

The Whitsuntide recess may be usefully occupied in considering how much the Legislature may do this session if all parties promptly agree to relegate Parliamentary Reform to the year 1867, and how little it will do, and how badly it will do it, if the Government determines at any cost and hazard to pass a Reform Bill this session. 'Reform Demonstration on Primrose Ili Last afternoon a public meeting, convened by the National Reform League, was held on Primrose hill, for'the purpose of adopting resolutions in sup port of the Reform Bill introduced into Parliament by her Majesty's Government. Mr. EDMOND BEALES, the president of the league, stated that letters announcing the meeting had been sent to several leading members of the House of Commons. One of these had been• sent to Mr. John Stuart Mill, the member for Westminster, and from that gentleman the following reply had been received : • "Blackheath, May 19, 1866. " Dear Sir,—l entirely approve and applaud the object of the meeting to be held on Monday next on Primrose-hill, that of encouraging and strengthen ing the Government in resisting all compromise in the leading provisions of the Reform Bill. " I am greatly obliged by your very cordial in vitation to attend the meeting, but my absence from town will prevent my being present at it.—l am, dear sir, very sincerely yours, " Mr. George Howell." " J. S. MILL. Mr. Bright had also been written to, and the fol lowing important letter had been received in reply " Rochdale, May 19, 1866. " Dear Sir,—l thank you for your invitation to the meeting to be held on Monday, but I am not able to be present at it " I hope all your friends will understand the exact position of the reform question. The main portions of the objections made to the Franchise Bill on the second reading were mere pretences—. there was no truth in them. The only real objec tion was against the admission of any portion of the working men to the suffrage.. " The same game will be played hereafter. There will be resolutions saying one thing and meaning another. Everything will be criticised, but the thing really hated and feared will be the extension of the franchise to the working men. " The Government Distribution of Seats Bill is, I fear, not good enough to excite the hostility of .the Tories, or of those from the Liberal ranks who have joined them, as it has little to excite enthu siasm or favour among the people. It will be op posed chiefly because it is henceforth a part of the bill which offers the franchise to working men, and because the rejection of any considerable or impor tant part of the bill will be the rejection of the whole. " The Tory party, and those from the Liberal ranks who join it, are animated by an unchange able hostility to any bill which gives the franchise to the working men. They object to any transfer of power from those who now possess it, and they ob ject to share their power with any increased number of their countrymen who form the working class. " They regard the workmen here as the Southern planter regards the negroes who were so lately his slaves. They can no longer be bought or sold ; so far they are free men. They may work and pay taxes, but they must not vote. They must obey the laws, but must have no share in selecting the men who are to make them. The future rosition of the millions of men in the United Kingdom is now de termined, if the opposition of the Tory party is to prevail—it is precisely that fixed by the Southern planter for the negro. " Millions of workmen bear this in mind ; they will now know the point or the gulf which separates one party from the other in the House of Commons. " There will be great efforts made to induce the Government to abandon the line of £l4 for the county and £7 for the borough franchise. If the Government yields, it will probably destroy itself, and it will leave the question open for the next Par liament—for no man can suppose the suffrage ques tion settled for the term of a single Parliament on the basis of a departure from the figures of the pre sent bill. Lord Derby's bill of 1859 proposed a £lO fran chise for counties, and Lord Palmerston's bill of 1860 offered the same county franchise, and a £6 franchise for boroughs. If anything less or worse than a £l4 and £7 franchise be now carried, there will not be a single reformer in the kingdom who will not be at liberty, when the bill is passed, to petition or to move the house for a further extension of the suffrage. "I hope you may have a good meeting, but I shall regard it only as preliminary to the meetings you will hold if the moderate measure now before Parliament should be mutilated or rejected. Work ing men everywhere should feel that the real posi tion and future of their class are now in suspense, and that they depend mainly on themselves.—l am, very truly yours, " JOHN BRIGHT. “Mr. George Howell, 8, Adelphi-terrace, London." He then went on to state that they were there on that occasion to support the Government in carry ing a measure of reform which they had introduced against the factious hostility of those who were op posed to all progress, and who wished to prevent popular representation from being converted from a pretence into a reality. They were there to uphold Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone in the effort they were making to redress long-standing grievances and to pay off a debt Which had been long due to the people. (Cheers.) Whilst he 'agreed in every word of the letter which he had just read from Mr. Bright, he still had to congratulate them upon the discussions which had recently taken place in Par liament, and upon the present aspect of the reform question. The result of those discussions had been that they showed in the clearest manner, by the ad missions and tactics of their opponents, that the Reform League had takeen its stand on that which the Constitution originally contemplated, which the law accorded, and which the representative • prin ciple of self-government necessarily embodied. Mr. Lowe, the captain-general of the Adullamite rene gade battalion, who had been received and welcomed by the Tories as a gift from Heaven, had deac,liagreodt that practice as regarded representation could never be made to conform to theory until th e y b universal suffrage and equal electoral districts. They, therefore, readily accepted that from an op ponent, as the true character of what the repre sentative principle necessarily meant and intended. Then, again, came Mr. Disraeli, who said that as the Chancellor of the Exchequer had declared the suffrage to be a moral right, those whom this mea sure would not reach were, upon his reasoning, as much entitled to it as the 400,000 to which the measure would extend it. That, said the Tory leader, is an American principle, and would be most fatal to this country. No doubt it was an Ameri can priticiple, and it had been worked in America to good effect, and to the great advantage Of that country ; but it was an English principle long be fore it was an American one. (Cheers.) The Americans took it from their and our forefathers; and they were indebted to that redoubtable cham pion of the people for bringing out that striking declaration respecting it made by Lord SomerS in a conference with the two Houses of Parliament, in the course of which. that great man said that the franchise; was an essential privilege vherell every James Hutchinson, 576 A, stated that he saw a disturbance in Langland's enclosure, and going there found the last witness in the hands of a mob, who were belabouring him and dragging the clothes from his back. S6veral persons said the Profiecutor was a welcher, The prisoner had his the other. produced. Cross-examined by Mr. Harrowell—Witness heard the prisoner say he had been betting with the prosecutor, and found him to be a welcher. Several gentlemen accused the prisoner of being a welcher. The prisoner refused to open his hands at the station at first, and said that what he had got there was his own, and he wished to explain himself. William Stead, 652 A, confirmed the evidence of last witness. Mr. Ilarrow•ell said he had a most complete answer to the charge, but Mr. Carter, the Chairman of the Bench, inti mated that the evidence of the prisoner having been seen in the act of taking the money out of the prosecutor's pocket left no alternative but to send the matter to a jury. The prisoner, therefore, by advice of his solicitor, denied the charge, reserving his defence, and was committed for trial at the ensuing Surrey Sessions, the Bench at once accepting bail, the prisoner's own recognisant:es in £5O, and two sureties in £25 each, which was at once given, and the prisoner left the court with his friends. STAJIPED ..m. Englishman possessed his property, and whatsoever deprived him of that right deprived him of his birth right. The full effect and meaning of these words had been attempted to be frittered away by Sir Hugh Cairns, but he utterly failed in the attempt. Lord Somers, when he used the words, knew too well the importance of the occasion to have used them in the sense which Sir Hugh Cairns now at tempted to put upon them. There was, in fact, language could state, that the franchise was the birthright of every Englishman. Besides, Lord Somers did not stand alone in that opinion, for he IwiaosltsaunPdP°Liteordd and t b h o a r m n e . out andint i i i t u s b y t hey Chief hJa had. s t t i h c e e law of the f ra n chise laid down by the greatest jurists and statesmen this country had ever seen. Let them, then, do their utmost to obtain a franchise such as those great men delared E to. No doubt the present xliasshetunefn were Commons entiwtleads not the house of the people, but it ought to be so, and let it be the firm resolve and determination of the people to make it so. (Cheers) Let it not be said that in their efforts to do so they wanted to in jure or impair the Constitution of the country. (Hear.) It was because they loved that Constitu tion that they wished to reform and i mprove it, and render it suitable not only to the exi genc i es of the intentions.timesbu t conformable (che. to its theirefforts original pri nc i ple and to d o t hi s they should Americanise their institutions, it would be the fault of others, not theirs. (Hear, hear.) It would be the fault of those who wet, opposed to all progress, and who denied the people their just rights. (Hear, hear.) They took their stand on the Throne, the Law, and the Constitution ; and let those who opposed the people in every effort they made to obtain the rights which these conferred on them take heed in time lest their opposition might go too far. (Cheers.) Mr. CREMER then moved the first resolution, which was----" That this meeting, whilst adhering to the principles of manhood suffrage and the ballot, as advocated by the Reform League, earnestly urges her Majesty's Government to resist to the utmost any alteration of the bill now before Parliament for the representation of the people which shall in the slightest degree tend to raise the franchise for county voters above the proposed limit of £l4, or that for borough voters above the proposed limit of £7, or to curtail the proposed occupation franchise for counties; and this meeting emphatically declares that any such alteration will meet with the most strenuous opposition of the people throughout the country." In support of the resolution Mr. Cremer referred to a statement made by Mr. Lowe in the course of the discussion on the Government mea sure, to the effect that it would be most dangerous to lower the franchise. Now, keeping the danger out of the question, he at once admitted that it would be impossible to lower the franchise, for it had already become so low that it would be impos sible to make it lower. (Laughter.) But, then, where was the danger in extending it? Two or three years ago, when the workpeople of Lanca shire were suffering the greatest privation, when they were starving with hunger and cold, there was not one of them put out his hand against his neigh bour's person or property, and they all maintained the greatest respect for law and order. (Cheers.) He would ask how many of Mr. Lowe's class would have shown the same resig nation and good order under such circumstances ? (Cheers.) At the time all the? school of the Adullamites were loud in their praises, but now, when these same men asked to have the fran chise extended to them, " Oh," it was sAid, " they are an ignorant, drunken rabble, and the conferring the franchise upon them would be to endanger the Constitution." But the real cause of all this opposi tion to giving them the franchise was not because those parties believed them to be ignorant, but be cause they knew that they were intelligent. (Cheers.) They knew that if they had the suffrage there were many things perpetrated now in the public depart ments and otherwise which would not be permitted then, and hence all the opposition to their obtain ing it. He trusted, therefore, that they would do their utmost in supporting the Government to carry this measure. It was but a small instalment of what they were entitled to, but it would open up the way to further progress. (Cheers.) Colonel DICKSON seconded the resolution, and in doing so alluded to the inconsistency of having a sort of universal suffrage prevailing in their colo nies, while in the mother country the great body o: the working classes were deprived of the franchise. Mr. LUCRAFr having supported the resolution, it was put from the chair, and unanimously adopted. Mr. BRADLAUGII next moved a resolution to the effect that the meeting also earnestly urged the Go vernment to extend the lodger franchise to occupiers of lodgings, whether furnished or unfurnished, of the yearly value of £lO ; to relieve such lodgers from the burden of being obliged to renew yearly their claim to be registered; to withdraw the 16th clause, relating to the dockyard voters ; and to extend the time for polling in all cases to a later hour than 4 o'clock. Mr. Wrightley having seconded the resolution, it was supported by Mr. J. R. Taylor, and unani mously adopted. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. The Alleged Case of 111-treatment at Epsom. EPSOM, Monday. A very extraordinary case has been heard before the magistrates in petty sessions, which had attracted considerable attention in consequence of a highly_ sensational paragraph which appeared exclusively in The Sun on Thursday last, that a welsher, in the presence of hundreds of policemen in front of the Grand Stand at Epsom, had been set upon by members of the betting-ring, " bustled, .beaten, kicked, and finally s t r i ppe d naked and turned out bleeding and insensible on the heath, no policeman raising a finger to protect the poor devil, or to arrest his cowardly assailants." The true circumstances will be seen in the following report. Thomas Hodson, of Holbeck, near Leeds, com mercial traveller, was charged with stealing £7 Os. 6d. from the person of James Hartley, otherwise John Hargreaves, on Epsom Downs. Mr. Harrowell, solicitor, of Epsom, defended the prisoner. James Hartley, the prosecutor, said he lived at the " Brunswick Hotel," Piccadilly, and attended Epsom races on the " Derby Day." He was a betting man, and was in Langland's stand. Some dispute arose with persons betting with him on the Derby, and be was surrounded and knocked down, and his money taken out of his pocket. The prisoner was amongst those who assaulted hi m .

Cross-exa,mined by Mr. Harrowell. --Witness changed his name from Hartley to Hargreaves be cause he betted with the list. It was not because he had not paid his bets. He always paid his bets. He did not remember seeing the prisoner before the disturbance. The ticket produced was one of his (witness's) betting tickets. The disturbance began a little before three. It began by people who had betted with him demanding their money back. They did not tell him he had been welching them, or was going to welch them. The Recent Commercial Crisis. The following circular has been transmittedby the Foreign•office to the British Embassies and Lega tions throughout Europe " Foreign-office, May 12. " Sir,—The monetary crisis through which this country is now passing will naturally attract great attention in other countries, and it is therefore de sirable that a clear conception should be formed, Government to havemeet e e a t both of it s na t ure and probable extent, but more particularl y o f t h e measures which her Majesty's cldatoenatli:s of thelethemercaprensetinle community t 44 ;h rit' o e - mil situation. Long-coutinued prosperity in commercial affairs, and the general wealth consequent on it, have pro duced their ordinary results in encouraging specula tion, especially of a monetary or financial character, and fostering hopes of acquiring wealth by more speedy means than are presented by the ordinary methods of commercial industry. Again, the events which are taking place on the Continent have tended not only to produce immediate derangement in com mercial transactions, but also to shake that confi dence in the future without which a return to sound state in monetary matters was not to be looked for. " The immediate cause, however, of the crisis lay iu the stoppage of thegreat discount house of Over end, Gurney, and Co., in whose hand were lodged many millions sterling, which, in other times,would in great part have formed, and which, perhaps, ought to have formed, the reserves of the various private and joint stock banks of the country. This failure directed the action of the panic against the banks in London, and it was to be apprehended that the movement in the capital would be followed by a similar agitation in the rest of the kingdom, where, in addition to the large deposits in the hands of the bankers, there are manymillions of paper circulation resting only on the commercial credit of the issuers. "In this state of things it could not be surprising that the reserve of the Bank of England was heavily affected yesterday, and it was the combined conside ration of what had then actually happened and of what might follow on subsequent days which in duced her Majesty's Government to adopt the mea sures on which, in the course of the evening, they decided. For the money drawn from the banks, hav ing been withdrawn from circulation under the in fluence of panic, the Bank of England might, with out some new resource, have been unable to continue its accustomed assistance. Thus the crisis, which had been anxiously apprehended from this combina tion of circumstances, has come at last, but with a severity and suddenness in regard to its immediate consequences which could not have been anticipated. " The Bank of England is prepared to extend re lief, to the utmost of its means, to all cases which are justly deserving of its support ; while her Ma jesty's Government, in full reliance on the eventual sanction of Parliament, should it be necessary to go beyond the law as itnow stands, have signified to the Bank of England their permission to hold itself free I from the observance of the ordinary limitations on its issues, if the exigencies of the time require such an extraordinary measure. Her Majesty's Govern - ment trust that by this timely assistance all com mercial establishments which are based on sound principles, and have been conducted with proper prudence, will be enabled to withstand the shock to to which the panic occasioned to the recent great great failure in the city will have exposed them. Her Majesty's Government have no reason to apprehend that there is any general want of soundness in the ordinary trade of this country which can give rea sonable ground for anxiety or alarm either in this country or abroad ; they are satisfied, on the con trary, that the present crisis, peculiar and unprece dented as it is, is one of a character essentially more favourable than others which have been successfully passed through ; and that all that is required is that all classes should co-operate with the Government in endeavouring to allay needless alarm, and in acting with prudence and forbearance while so much agitation prevails. It appears to her Majesty's Government to be of great importance that the commercial interests abroad should be reassured in regard to what is n p o assin g time t i * n n t a l e ' i t s h o c r o i u si n n ty g r y , o a o n d tO I ni have, e k therefore, eewnte lost ( Government to which you are accredited, and gene rally to those who have a direct interest in such matters, the view taken by her Majesty's Govern ment of the present state of affairs, the active mea sures which have been adopted to avert any evil consequences, and th e confidence which her Ma jesty's Government feel that those measures will be attended with success. " The abatement of the panic in the city this morning is, her Majesty's Government trust, an earnest of the good result likely to attend the mea sures which they have authorised the Bank of Eng land to adopt.—l am, with great truth, your most obedient humble servant, " CLARENDON," POPULATION, REVENUE, AND REPRESENTATION.— A Parliamentary return just published shows that the estimated population at the middle of the year 1866 was —in England, 21,210,020; in Scotland, 3,103,4 13 ; in Ire land, 5,571,971 ; an d t h e tota l of the United Kingdom was 29,935.404.

The official report of the capture of Jefferson Davis has been sent to the War Department by Colonel Pritchard, who commanded the troops who over took his party, and should set at rest for ever the absurd story of Mr. Davis having disguised himself. Colonel Pritchard says when the capture was made, it was so dark that he could not distinguish the uniforms, and in the cturse of his narrative adds :—" On my return to camp I — was accosted by: Davis from among the pri soners, who asked if I wag the officer In com mand, and upon my answ.wing that I was, a n d as ki ng him who I was to call him, he replied that I m i ght call him what or whoever I pleased; when I rep li ed to him -that I would call him Davis—and, upon a moment's hesitation. he said that was his name, when he suddenly drew himself up in true royal dignity and exclaimed, 6I suppose that you consider it bravery to charge a train of defenceless women and children—but it is theft, it is Vandalism ! " Nothing is said in'the narrative about his being disguised, and had the disguise story been true Colonel Pritchard would cer tainly ha . ve mentioned it. . _ _
