B'Yys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught .111 they are 11 years o' age. With the view os. cure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investivated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most e'igible for free admission. This H .me was opened in April. 144. lit was designed to take a the little ones whose cheroot r and circumstances disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the R. fuges. Such are th se who, from neglect, are already on the roa to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beeoome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish re let, and who are now friendless orphans Such are those whose parents are breakers of t• e law. or are in prison, and who train their chil.iron in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates irom about four years of' age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 , and the Committee would joyfully ,oee the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the neexs.ary subscriptions. . _ The Cony. it ee feel constrained to p'ead for those who cennot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the dr cumstan es of some vho ha•Ye been already admitted, they ask—is it right to mate a widow and her r mily paupers for lie because one of them (the naughty boy of the fam ly) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, the' you will not h 1p her to put one of them into a Home. but that the must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the bid we can for the little destitute orphan :o send him to the workhouse. Is it dot• g to others 9s we would they should do unto -,s that when these little ones have unnatural parents wh turn them into the streets, or force them by ill- reatenent to " tie away," none of us short dbe found to are tor them, to speak a kindly wo d to them, to betr , end them, to house and clothe th m ? Shall we leave 'hem still on the doorstep, sassing - by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" _ . _ _ The necessity for an Institution for these little ones Is evi dent from the police statis ics, which show that it: London alone. in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 1 0 years of ace, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help be permanent burdens to the State. The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Insitution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to schoLl work—reading, and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white paper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the o othes, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the howe, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones lean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working Ilfe. 2d.

New Orleans cotton thrives in the Dhera Doou, and Dr. Forbes has "no doubt" that many valleys on the southern slopes of the Himalayas afford the requi site conditions of soil and climate for the exotic plant. Amidst the temperate seasons on the plateau of Mysore we might well expect that this luxuriant, but tender, gossypia would find a permanent home ; and such is the case. In many districts of that pro vince the ryots have spontaneously taken up the cultivation of the acclimatised seed, and it seems that a steady supply of fine cotton might be ex pected if facilities for repairing the requisite machi nery were available. Seeing that a central factory for the manufacture of cotton cleaning and pressing machines is in full order at Dharwar there need be no difficulty in supplying Mysore from thence. Several paragraphs of this report are occupied in describing how Dr. Forbes set about the reform of cotton cultivation in Berar, we presume with seed from Dharwar, though this poink is not specified in his text. He found Captain Stubbs, the then Commissioner of West Berar, ready to carry the experiment through zealously. It was not done in a "flower-pot" style of culture. Twenty acres of land were selected in Mulkapore and Akote, and each lot was, divided in order that two periods of sowing mi g h t be tried— the 13th and close of July. The earlier sown por tion succeeded the best, and was quite equal to the Dharwar in yield—so much as eight pounds of (seed) cotton being gathered from several single plants. The latter sown had suffered from drought when piling, and the weeding of it had been neglect6 - a; but, under every disadvantage, the aggregate re sult must be regarded as affording conclusive proof of the practicability of profitable exotic cotton cul tivation in Berar. Dr. Forbes returned to Decem ber, and found the second picking had never been gathered, the plants being laden with heavy bolls, and the ground strewed with the wasted produce. As it was, the ryots who gathered round admitted that the Sahib's plants had produced twice as much cotton as their own. But, like shrewd fellows as they are, they were not content with that ; they wanted to know how such long fibre was to be cleaned, and what could be got for it. These questions, which have a very important bearing upon the value of the Berar experiment, are duly an swered in the report. As usual, like good men in adversity, Dr. Forbes's cherished exotic was beset with extortioners. The holders of the land charged the monstrous rent of eleven rupees per acre ; and even these honourable men the Mamlutdars, who had to present a little bill for the labour charges, demanded sums which, the doctor says, were " extravagant in the extreme," and then the cotton had to be sent on into Kandeish before it could be ginned. The total expenditure on the lot, which produced 1,600 pounds of clean cotton was 713 rs. and as Dr. Forbes thinks it will fetch the highest price of any Indian cotton he values at 12d. at home—a price which will probably suffice to clear nearly all freight and shipping charges. The seed was worth 120 rs. more, but that was distributed to the ryots of the adjoining district of Yawul in Kan deish. Considering that the expense of this special cultivation was at least twice what such an opera tion would have need to have been, if conducted by private effort, it may held to to have been demon strated in this Berar expe r i men t, th at cotton of staple and colour, which will always hold its place in the British market,may be grown to a good pro fit by Indian ryots in Central India. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd, no supply of books, no music —nothing to interest their minds ; what were they to do ? In summer they could spend their evenings abroad, but in the winter months what could they do ? Some of the leading inhabitants of the town had, with the help of those for whose benefit it was intended, enabled those who chose to become members of this society to go, at a nominal expense, every evening in the week, except Sundays, to a place in which they might employ themselves pleasantly and profitably. To say nothing of the enjoyment of a game of draughts or chess, they could take down from the shelves, plea sant, and useful, and instructive books to read, and besides this, they.were away from every temptation and incentive tg, do evil. To come to the question of the knowledge itself, which was acquired from the books, few as they were at present, he looked at the students who had that day received certificates from the Society of Arts ; those certificates had been obtained through the instructions received in class, but those instructions would not have enabled them to obtain those certificates had they not had access at other times to books with which they might improve themselves in the respective pursuits or studies in which they were engaged. This, there fore, was an institution to enable them to seek good and to avoid evil, and above all to busy themselves during almost every evening of their lives in the attainment of human knowledge ; and what was knowledge? He need not quote the oft-repeated axiom of the illustrious Lord Bacon, that " Know ledge is power," but he would go further and say knowledge is, if not wealth, at least competence ; and what was competence? It meant independence, and independence meant peace of mind and all the happiness we were entitled to expect. Why were crimes committed ? A great many said, with much truth, that drunkenness was the parent of crime ; but what other causes of crime were there ? The two great causes were ignorance and poverty. Well, knowledge was wealth, competence, independence, ease of circumstances, and brought with it ease of mind and contentment, and knowledge was placed within the reach of all who would belong to this in stitution. From the long experience which he had, and from the habits of intercourse with all classes of his fellow creatures to which his profession and pur suits in life had led him, he could say that if a man, having a moderate degree of health, possessed a competence sufficient to enable him to feel at the end of the day that he had earned enough for his own support and that of his family, and that he did not owe a debt in the world, and with that degree of knowledge which any many might acquire who chose to become a member of this society, that man had the means of happiness within his reach to as full an extent as any in this world was entitled to expect. (Cheers.) This arose from knowledge— these were among the advantages which knowledge conferred on every individual who acquired it, and then when the time came, as it must come to all, of retiring from active life, the advantages of knowledge were again felt. Knowledge was like money,. it was reproductive. As when they saved a small sum of money they invested it in the savings bank, and it produced interest ; then they invested that inte rest, and thus obtained compound interest, and it thus went on increasing and multiplying : so it was with knowledge. He would take a com mon case—a man took up a newspaper and saw a paragraph about something which had occurred in the United States ; that led him to go to the rooms of the Working Men's College and take down a book referring to America ; the late unfor tunate struggle there reminded him of the war of independence with this country, and to that he would refer. This would lead him to think how America was first colonised, and he would find it was in the 16th and 17th centuries. He would naturally refer to the History of England of that period, and he would very probably find among the easly emigrant_ A Atrara Rom A and that Oliver Cromwell was about to sail with that ship, but was prevented, and then would come spe culations whether if Cromwell had sailed Charles I. would have lost his head, and whether the Stuarts would not at this time have been reigning in the Place of the House of Brunswick. Thus men were led from point to point in the pursuit of one branch of knowledge, and from the history of one country they would be led to another, from one branch of knowledge to another, and so the inquiring mind pursued its course till at last they found a human being transformed from one of the working men of Ipswich into, perhaps, a great statesman, or an ora tor taking a part in the councils of the nation. (Cheers.) Returning to the case he had used as an illustration, of course, a man could not proceed far in the study of history without requiring a know ledge of geography. They thus saw how one science led to another, and he entreated them to employ their leisure time in gaining knowledge, and re minded them that if they did so, and would but pur sue a course of fair dealing and justice between man and man, of integrity, openness, and temperance, there was no one of them, even in the humblest paths of life, but could hope to attain some of the great prizes of life. One of their members had, during the past year, succeeded in the civil service exami nation, by taking the course which many of them had begun, and which they all, he trusted, would fol low, and then he was sure whether they met seldom or often he would have to congratulate them upon having become members of that institution. (Cheers.) He had only to assure them of the high gratification he felt at finding how the college had gone on and prospered, and to repeat that under all circumstances and at all times, thought they might have many more effective supporters they would have no more sincere well-wisher than he was. (Cheers.) Votes of thanks were passed to the council of the college and the chairman. In reference to this 1,600 pounds of Berar cotton, now in Bombay, the Government endorses the sug gestion of Dr. Forbes that it shall be sent direct to the manufacture at home, to be worked up in close comparison with the Dharwar and other long -stapled cotton. There is a promise for the future in notic ing that Capt. Stubbs, who assisted in the Berar ex periment, is now at a political post at Hyderabad,and promises to use every exertion to promote the use of the acclimatised seed throughout the territories of , rcrzam. hls &ISO Intorpsating to ws in Bombay to find that there is a fair prospect of the American plant being acclimatised in Kandeish. When Dr. Forbes visited Dhurrumgaum, last December, ho saw there a crop of cotton plants then, " luxuriant and strong," which had been raised from Dharwar seed. It would be serviceable to know from Mr. Mackenzie, under whose direction the crop was sown, what were the results from its out-turn, see ing that the produce will probably have long since been shipped from Bombay. It was not to be ex pected that Mr. Temple —who leaves no stone un turned or man untried who seems likely to serve his useful purpose—should let Dr. Forbes escape him. The results of the doctor's suggestions relative to cotton cultivation in Nagpore and the central pro.. vinces, and Mr. Temple's orders thereon, we may , take a future opportunity of estimating. It is not needful here to express any opinion on the rela tive importance of exotic and indigenous cotton cul ture ; more especially so as the chief practical pur.. pose of Dr. Forbes's report is to show the value of his new lever press, which will tend most effectually to facilitate the cultivation of every kind of export able cotton in the remote and roadless districts of the Mofussil. These presses, large enough for bales of 1801 b., can be worked by four men ; and with a double set " takilig the average extent to whi c h coolies exert themselves in this part of the country , ' from 80 to 100 of these bales may be pressed in a day. We say pressed, but the amount of compres sion attained is only half way between the loose dokra and the Bombay bale, as when finally rea d y for exportation. This, however, is effectual for the ends desired. The bulk is so much reduced that one third of the cart him is saved, and from 20 to 80 miles transit a day, over rough country, can be ac complished; but far more important still, the cotton, once passed through Dr. Forbes's lever press, is then safe from dust, dirt, adulteration, and to a great ex tent also from damage by moisture. The machine is not expensive, costing at Dharwar 365r5., and we are much mistaken if its general introduction does not prove one of the most important steps ever taken towards placinglndian cotton cultivation on a secure basis. For the prevention of cotton frauds it will be worth more than any cleverly drawn legislative act that could be devised. The invention itself, in its adaptation to the - circumstances of this neglected country, illustrates that invaluable talent of ‘g mak ing the best of things" which is so noticeable in Dr. Forbes. And notwithstanding the judicious ‘, if" i n exercise of a m thethe Government resolution, we place to the cre di t of country."ost bens.. the Council that they have granted their official im primatur to the invention, in the word s :-..“ The in troduction fiei ai effect on ofthethmeacchointthn trade machine will erc Two different but kindred questions suggested by Dr. Forbes's report are—Which is the more profit able in value to the Indian cultivator, indigenous or exotic cotton? and what inducement is there at the ' - present time to extend the cultivation of either, in preference to cereals or seeds'? The former of these subjects we hope to refer to shortly ; but we deem it a great mistake in India—amidst such an extraor dinary variety of conditions as its surface presents—. to set one system of cultivation or one ela . ss of productions against another. Ther e i s a b undant room for all ; hill and plain, ghaut and doab, each offer their special characteristics for productive en terprise 4. It is waste of good strength and time for developers" to criticise each other's efforts ; what is wanted is accurate distinct information, so that each may be enabled to recognise his appropriate field of action, with as little loss of time as may be. With regard to the future prospects of Indian cot ton cultivation, all that we need say here is thas there is every needful probability that the next crop will be a safe one for the grower.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. THURSDAY. A Queen's Plate over the four miles of the Beacon Course, a Produce Stakes with Ischia, Robin Hood, and Crown Prince among the entries, and the match between the Duke andArchhnedes, helped to make up a card of much higher interest than yesterday's. Breeze was the favou rite for her Majesty's guineas, and she had the race in hand from the first, Dr. Syntax and Volatile giving in after the first two miles, and Lady Hylda and Stanton being easily shaken off on getting to the top of the hill. The Eighteenth Triennial was looked on as a certainty for the Duke of Beaufort's Ischia from her running at Goodwood and York, but she must have been " off" to-day, for she was never in the race, which was snatched from Baron Rothschild's Robin Hood in the last few strides by Esca. As the hour approached for the great match the excite ment was almost equal to a Two Thousand or a Cesare witch. Lord Stamford's horse was favourite, and we need scarcely add that his noble owner backed him with his usual spirit. Though Carroll had to ride nearly three stone overweight, his Lordship declined to avail himself of the services of an older jockey, having every confidence in the lad's powers. Fordham was on the Duke, and imme diately the hundreds of eyes turned to the bottom of the Rowley Mile descried the white flag drop, the scarlet and white hoops of Lord Hastings were seen coming along with a good lead. M the Abingdon Mile bottom Archi medes drew up to and for a few moments looked going well, but gave way as he ascended the hill, and the Duke came in an easy winner by three lengths. Great was the cheering, and the Marquis and Marchioness, who were on the Stand, received warm congratulations. It is diffi cult to account for Archimedes' running after his Leger performance. We must take it as another proof, if one were wanting, of the glorious uncertainty of racing. The other events do not call for comment.

These positions were retained into the cords, when Steamboat headed Mineral, the two finishing a fino race home by a length ; King Hal was a bad third ; Valeria was fourth, Clarionette fifth, and Brenta next.

Here the favourite drew up, and on reaching the Abingdon mile bottom he got upon equal terms with his opponent, but Fordham, allowing him no time, kept his neck ex tended to half-way in the cords, when he was beaten very easily by three lengths.

Also to add the following to Rule 17 :—" When a horse has been struck out of an engagement by the person legally entitled to do so, if the horse shall be permitted to start by mistake for the said engagement, he shall not be entitled to receive the prize though he comes in first, and if he has been allowed to start in consequence of fraud or misrepresenta tion on the part of the owner or other person having charge of the horse, that person shall be warned off Newmarket Heath, and the horse shall be disqualified from running for any public race thereafter."—Racing Calendar. Sir P. Kelly, M.P., and Working Dren's Colleges. The fourth annual meeting of the Ipswich Work ing Men's College was held in the Town Hall, on Wednesday evening, Sir F. Kelly, M.P., the presi dent of the institution, in the chair. The Principal of the college, Dr. Christian, read the report, which was very satisfactory, as it showed a considerable increase both in the number of mem bers of the college and of students, there being now 653 members, and in two of the terms of the past year the students numbered 149, nearly all attend ing two classes. In May an examination under the auspices of the Society of Arts was held, and 21 certificates were awarded, four for excellence and nine for proficiency in book-keeping, one for excel lence and one for competency in English history, two for competency in French, three for competency in arithmetic, and one for competency in geography. The report was adopted, on the motion of the. Mayor (Mr. S, H. Cowell), and seconded by Mr. " Koltv Phan distribute the certificates to the successful students. The PRESIDENT said it was now his duty to ad dress a few words to them upon the general subject of the report. He need not say it had given him the highest gratification, seeing that this was only the fourth year of the institution, that they had made their way under many difficulties and dis couragements, and advanced to the position de scribed in the report. He must say a word or two upon the report, and first, he must say something upon the circumstance that it contained no mention of the name of Dr. Christian. The reason for this probably was that Dr. Christian had some hand in drawing up the report, and he was the last man to speak of himself in the terms he so well deserved. But for Dr. Christian this institution never would have existed, and without him, he would not say it could not continue to exist, and even to pros per ; but if it was to attain a high position among similar institutions it must be owing to Dr. Christian more than to any other individual. (Cheers.) He could not proceed to the business of the evening without alluding—and he did so with a melancholy feeling, but, nevertheless, almost of satisfaction—to the sad mention which the council had been able to make of the name of the late Mr. Robert Ransome. He (Sir F. Kelly) ought not to say more than that, as Mr. Ransome had been taken from amongthem. It was some consolation to know that he must have felt in his last moments the gra tification of the internal conviction that he had spent his lifetime—alas, too short a lifetime—in doing good to his fellow-creatures. In reference to the position of the institution he would not go into details, but let him just say that this was one of the many societies—he was glad to add amongst the most successful of them—which had grown up partly from the suggestions and encouragement of the worthy man (the Rev. F. D. Maurice) who esta blished the London Society, and of the secretary of the society, the Rev. Mr. Solly. The London Work ing Men's College had contemplated establishing a circulating library, to the benefits of which local institutions might be admitted by a subscription of £2 a year. If this was established he hoped this institution would subscribe to it till they had a library of their own. From the mind he would turn to the body, and he hoped that a cricket club would be established and a suitable ground found. As to the pecuniary part of the business it was a very important matter, and he was rejoiced to find they had a balance in hand, and he was glad to find it was a small one, because, as he knew, that every shilling that was expended was well spent, it appeared that all that had been contributed to the funds of the college had been applied to the objects for which it was intended. He rejoiced to see that their numbers had increased and multiplied, so that really though he and the members of the higher classes of society had done what they could to help them in the for mation of the society, they had done very little compared to what the members had done for them selves, and that was the very essence of institutions like this ; it was one of the fundamental principles of such institutions that the honorary subscribers should only seek to help the working men so far as to enable them to help themselves, and though he trusted the honorary members would go on to the end doing what lay in their power to assist them, he also trusted that they would increase in numbers, and redouble their efforts to further their own cause and to do that for themselves whicti he desired to see them do, and in which he desired to help them, but which after all, to be well done, must be done by themselves. (Applause.) He hoped that that those who had belonged to this institution for a year or two had felt that the expectations they ventured to hold out at its establishment had been to some extent realised. The working men, and perhaps the humbler portion of the middle class, must, in order to pass their long winter evenings, resort to some place of amusement, and there was no such place in this town except the public-house ; those who would not frequent the public-house had to remain at home confined in a little room; perhaps 12 or 14 feet fiquare, postiibly with a bed in it, with BREAKFASTS and LUNCEIRONS.

INTOXICATED RATS.—A few days ago a spirit dealer in Greenock, upon opening his shop in the morning, was considerably astonished to find a couple of very large rats lying behind the counter on their backs, and kicking away in a very ludicrous manner. Seizing a bung starter he slew them on the spot, and shortly afterwards discovered the cause of their eccentric conduct by ascertain ing that a tin basin which he had placed beneath the leaky crane of a cask of strong Scotch ale had been nearly emptied. The rats had no doubt been indulging freely, and, be coming top-heavy from the effects, met an ultimate fate before they could stagger ink) their holee.—Greenock Interesting Musical Copyrights.
