I)ROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.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 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, sc e receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, 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 propised, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Roy. D. GILBERT D.D., Igo. 22, Finsbury-eireuf3 THE NEW ACT ON PARLIAMENTARY OATHS.--The act to amend the law relating to Parliamentary oaths was yesterday issued, having received the R o y a l assent on Mon day. It recites that one uniform oath should be taken by members of both Houses of Parliament on taking their seat in every Parliament. The oath is, " I, AB, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and I do faithfully promise to maintain and support the succession to the Crown as the same stands limited and settled by virtue of the act passed in the reign of William 111., entitled, 'An Act for the limitation of the Crown and better securing the lights and liberties of the subject and the subsequent Acts of Union with Scotland and Ireland.' " The name of th e S overeign for the time being is to be used in the oath. The oath now appointed is to be taken in every Parliament by members of both houses. "If any member of the House of Peers votes by himself or his proxy in the House of P eers , ors i ts as a Peer during any debate in the said house without having made and subscribed the oath hereby appointed, he shall for every such offence be subject to a p ena lt y o f £ 5OO to be recovered by action in one of her Majesty's Superior Courts at Westminster, and if any member of the House of Commons votes as such in the said house, or sits during any debate after the Speaker has been chosen without having made and subscribed the oath hereby appointed he shall be subject to a like penalty for every such offence, and in addition to such penalty his seat shall be vacated in the same manner as if be were dead." Several acts and parts from Charles U. to the 23d and 2ItlA Victoria are repealed. M. 23,050. LADY EMILY PONSONBY'S NEW NOVEL. On Friday, May 4, in 3 . v015., SIR OWEN F AIRFAX.

Mr. Bright on the Government's Reform Bill. MANCHESTER, Tuesday Night. A meeting was held to-day in the Free -trade Hall of this town, being a special meeting of reformers delegated by the National Reform Union from vari ous parts of the country, " to take into considera tion the present position of the Franchise Bill, a n d the best course to be adopted by Reformers to aid Government in passing the measure through the House of Commons." There was so large an attend ance that the drawing-room would not suffice for the meeting, and it was adjourned to the Assembly Room, which was speedily filled. Mr. G. Wilson presided. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT moved a resolution expressing sincere and heartfelt thanks to the Government and those members of the Liberal party who had sup ported them, for their noble and generous acknow ledgment of the rights of the people, and for the energetic manner in which they had carried out the proposed measure for the extension of the franchise. Mr. W. TURNER, Mayor of Salford, seconded the resolution, and it was supported by delegates from a great number of places, including Birmingham, Carlisle, Leeds, and Chester. -Mr. PEASE, late M.P. for South Durham, also supported the motion, which was carried unani mously. Mr."H. MASON . moved the second resolution, ex pressing unabated confidence in the Government, and approval of their recent declaration not to relax their efforts to pass the bill for the representation of the people into law, but assuring them that no measure which fell short in its principal provisions of the present bill would be satisfactory to the people. Mr. B. ARMITAGE seconded the motion, and it was adopted. The general feeling experienced by the delegates was one of satisfaction at the result of the late di vision, and of determination to support the Govern ment. Mr. BRIGHT was then called upon to address the meeting, and rose amidst great cheering. He said —Gentlemen, I think it is about a month since we last met together in this building to consider our position with reference to reform, and the portion of the measure which had been introduced by the Government. Since then we have had a great de bate in the House of Commons, and a great divi sion. (A Voice A triumphant one.) Well, that is a matter about which I think there may fairly be some difference of opinion. (Laughter.) I think as far as the debate went some speeches made in favour of the bill were not answered, and I also think that a great many of those who opposed the bill in the division did not state to the house 'very clearly the grounds upon which their opposition was based. There were 33 men who at the general elec tion were returned as Liberals, who turned round and voted against their party, some on one pretence and some on another. The mover of the amendment in the speech which he made, complained that the govern ment of which he had been a supporter had departed from the rule of Whig Governments in past times, and, instead of taking entirely the advice of certain portions of the Whig party, had taken advice from that end of the House of Commons—that section of the house amongst whom I generally sit. (Laughter.) lam not one of those who, here or elsewhere, un fairly deprecate the Whig party, because if you look back and take a hundred years from the accession of George 111. till this time, there have always been members of the Whig noble families who have been sincere and most useful friends of the people ; and I am sorry that Lord Grosvenor did not recollect the condition into which his Whig Government and party had fallen in the year 1841. They were in office after the Reform Bill with an immense and overpowering majority. In nine years after the passing of that bill Sir R. Peel came into power; at the head of the Tory party, with a majority of 90 in the House of Commons. The Whig Govern ment had mismanaged most of its affairs ; had alie nated almost all its most liberal supporters, and it left the Government with the finances and taxation of the country in a state of discreditable confusion. During those years the most liberal portion of the Liberals were little taken notice of. Now what hap ' pened? In 1846, from the action of that party of whom Lord Grosvenor now speaks—not at all with contempt, but at least with something like distrust and dislike—through the action of that party repre sented by a great association in this town, the Tory ranks were broken up, Sir R. Peel was converted on a great question, the Tories were driven from office, the Whigs came back to power, and for the last 20 years, with the exception of about two years, they have held the highest offices in the State. But during the last 20 years, if Lord Grosvenor were just to go through the journals of Parliament, he would find that all the questions which have given the Liberal Government since 1846 favour and popularity with the people, are questions which did not originate with the purely Whig section of the party, but ori ginated and were urged on by what may be called theßadical wing of the great Liber a l p ar t y . (Ch eers.) All the measures which refer to taxation, and which have given to Mr. Gladstone so great a reputa tion, not in this country only, but throughout the world, all the measures which have given to . this country freedom of the press, measures of utility and value which it is impossible to exaggerate, all the measures which have tended to make commercial intercourse more free with France, and afterwards with all the other countries of Europe, all these have been measures which the Government sitting on the Treasury bench have taken directly and taken most wisely from that section of the house in which I sit —(cheers)—therefore I venture to tell Lord Grosve nor, without the slightest offence (for I am not sure that he would not himself freely acknowledge it), that the power of the Whigs in the Government has been a power based on the united action pf what I may call the two branches of the Liberal party ; but the policy which has been pursued, and the measures that have been carried, and the glory which has accrued to that party—all this has been derived far more from that section of the party whose advice he refuses to take now than from that section with which he is personally and by family more intimately connected. (Hear, hear.) I regret more than I can describe that we have not been a united party on this occasion. When we were here last I spoke of Lord Grosvenor with some hope that probably he would see that the course he was taking was not a wise one, and that after all he might not be found to move the amendment of which he had given notice. Notwithstanding that he has entirely disappointed me in that, I am still of opinion that he is not satisfied with the position which he has taken up ; and I think there is some ground for the rumour which prevailed in the house, that had it not been for the pressure put upon him by the opposition, with whom, unfortunately, he had come into relations on this question, even at the last moment he would not have come forward to propose the amendment to the second reading of the bill. Now, supposing that we had had a united party, that those thirty-two men who voted against us had voted with the Government, we should have had, if the house had voted as unanimously as it did on Saturday morning, a clear majority of at least 80 in favour of the second reading of the bill ; and if that had been the case I believe the Tories themselves would not have opposed the second read ing by a direct resolution, and there is every reason to believe the bill would have passed through the House of Commons without any difficulty, and that it would have been accepted with a becoming wis dom by that other chamber into which I hope before long it will find its way. (Cheers.) But these gen tlemen who voted against us from different motives have seen fit to separate themselves for a time from their partyand from the Government, andl will ven ture to say also, from public sympathy. (Cheers.) I am not certain--I think it not unlikely —that someof these gentlemen, baying supported Lord Grosvenor ` PRICE..... 4d. STAMPED sd. from personal attachment probably to him and friend ship with him, and some from one cause and somefrom another—a considerable number having given this one vote may feel it consistent both with their duty and with their interest, to come back to the ?old— (laughter) —and give their votes in favour of the Government and the bill in its future stages. There are amongst them, I am persuaded, men who are not without sympathy for the people; men who are not wholly against a fair measure of reform, and men who, I believe, will not ultimately and permanently 'separate themselves from the advance which will accrue to the country by the passing of this mea sure. One thing, I think, has arisen from a dis cussion over so many nights—that the bill must have risen in general favour with almost all classes in the country. what may be ca ll ed the A r i a a d n i y e a lv a h n o d s r t e a f n o d r m between , and the most liberal of the Tories, some who call themselves Whigs, s ome Liberal Conservatives, some who have not been able to find a word that shall exactly define their delicate positiox— laug hter)— have probably cometo the conchision—and Isuspeet that the discussion during these nights has had the effect also of convincing the great bodythoef the people, and those who, at the beginning o f had not made up their minds—that this measure is a very just, and at the same time a very moderate, and in the highest and truest sense of the w or d also a CatlTVAtive proposition, which has been brought forward by the Ministry. We have seen, too, what has been dwelt on so much to-day, that the Govern ment has behaved in regard to it in a manner that is perfectly honest and perfectly manly, and we have heard—l have heard from Mr. Gladstone's lips— language telling evidently that which was passing in his heart, which indicated the strong sympathy he has with justice a n d with the people, and I be lieve in that language and in those expressions he was but speaking the united view of the Cabi net, and especially the views or the sentiments of Earl Russell. (Cheers.) In another week we shall have before us the proposition for the redistribution of seats. I have always held that to be, as a matter of fair representation, just as important as the ques tion of the franchise. - I know nothing whatever of what it is that the Government are likely to propose, and I won't now undertake to give them any advice —(great laughter) —for fear some very weak brother (laughter)—or some spiteful and vicious opponent should say that they have framed their Redistribution Bill upon the advice which I gave them on a platform in Manchester. All I will say is this, that I hope at least the Redistribution Bill will be so fair and so ex tensive that it may fairly receive as much confidence and favour from the public as the Franchise Bill has received, and that further we mayall feel thatwhat ever be the number of years for which the fran chise question would be likely to be settled by the passing of this bill for an equal number of years the distribution of seats question should also be settled by the bill which they are now about to produce. If that bill should be as good as we will hope it may be, it seems to me that every reason we now have to support the Government will be greatly increased— (cheers)—because they have declared solemnly— and there is no withdrawal from that declaration— that they stand or fall by the bill, separately or by the bills together, and we have therefore the repu tation, the continuance in office, the very existence of Whig statesmen, as connected with the Radical and Reforming party—we have all this staked on the passage through Parliament of these two mea sures. Well, if we have a Government resolved to do a thing that is right to be done it has greatpower in Parliament, and there are we know scores of thousands of persons throughout the country who do not come up with a rush to help a great question until they see that it is in peril, and until they see that the Ministry by whom it is supported is also in peril. When I look at the matter I feel confident therefore that when this seats bill is brought for ward, supposing it be a fair and just measure, pro ceeding as far in that direction as the franchise bill proceeds in this direction, then we shall have addi tion—l will not say addition justification, but addi tional stimulus—that we should all individually, and wherever we meet our fellow-men throughout the country, do everything that lies in our power to sup portthe Government until those measures are passed. (Cheers.) The bill that we are discussing is, after all, let us not forget, is in some sort like all great measures, almost a compromise. We had a perfect right to ask the Government to,propose a bill with a £lO county and a £6 borough franchise, and we had every reason to believe that such a bill would have been proposed, but when one that,falls short of that is proposed, we don't immediately quarrel with our friends, and drive the Government from office, and contemptuously kick their bill out of the house ; but we view it regarding all the diffi culties of this question, and the difficulties which a Government must surmount to do anything, and, therefore, we, I will not say willingly, we reluctantly, but still with a certain degree of cheerfulness, and with perfect honour, abstain from pressing for that which we believe we had a right to do. We admit 1 . all the difficulties of the Government ; we admit the timidity, the fears of certain persons who do not think as we think, and we are willing to give our hearty assistance to carry a measure which the Go vernment, under the circumstances, think the best that they could propose. Having done that the question is what shall we do in passing through committee, where there are pitfalls at every step ? I think we have a right to cell upon the Govern ment to stand by the figures that they have pro posed. (Loud cheers.) I say that the true interest of the Government is to stand absolutely by three things that are in that bill ; the £l4 franchise for the counties, the £7 franchise for the boroughs, and the total sweeping away of those odious and miser able clauses which were called the rate-paying clauses affecting the £lO voters. (Cheers.) I think it is the true interest of the cause of reform that they should stand to those figures, and they should hold them to be essential and vital points of their bill. If they were to make any deduction from those figures, to do what certain people on the other side mean when they say, we would not object to a £2O franchise for the.counties, and an £8 or £9 rating— or some stupid proposition—(laughter) —for the boroughs—and then after all we could settle this question—l say there is no greater mistake. I will undertake to say, if they depart from this propo sition, which has been accepted in so fair and rea sonable a manner by the whole reform party throughout the country, that carry what they may short of this, the question would not receive a per manent or even a temporary settlement. (Cheers.) I believe there would not two years pass—there would not be another Parliament pass through its existence, elected upon this bill, so shorn of its in tegrity, in which the re wou ld no t b e re p ea ted pro 7 I posals to re-open the question of the franchise and re-open the question of seats. Wear, hear.) , We all know that in our own boroughs, everywhere, any any alteration of the franchise above i borough would be in itself almost an . t ewnotiruledexshcoluw sion still of the working men , and them that though 34 yell!:l passing of the Reform y ass d ed id si m n u ce ch th th e B ve are no more prepared enable that bill to pass— ••ili ailvethpe now to do them eve n this moderate justice than me n (Cheers.) And it would con were at that time. . firm them in the feeling that there was an ineradic able distrust and fea r of them amon g st the rich and powerful classes of the country. (Chee rs. ) I as sume that the Government will be firm. There is not a particle of evidence to justify even the smallest suspicion a gainst them. I b e li eve that Lord Rus sell,when he consented to th ose fi gures, consented w ith the express understandi ng t h at that was the p cion point to which the Government should feel itself pledged, and it is impossible to have listened to the speeches of Mr. Gladstone and to believe that he could in any degree withdraw from propositions which he himself has described as so moderate and so necessary. Now, I suspect that on Monday next 4 C- ~~~~~~ when the bill for the redistribution of matt , .4 brought in, there will be some discussion, and we shall begin to discover what is the tone d the house with regard to that proposition as well as this. The gentlebmiLn who have been hungry for a redistribu tion (laughter) —who have quoted in the House of Commons ex t rac t s f rom speec h es of mine made about seven years ago, wherein it was stated that a redistribution of seats was as important as a franchise bill, and who have quoted those extracts to show how ineousistentl was in s upport i ng this Franc hi se Bill and not joining them in insisting upon a redis tribution bill—these gentlemen who have b o ei ei en don't know where, but in a very high p thusiastn—(laughter) —in favour of redistribution of seats, it is just conceivable that next Monday their enthu: iasm will have greatly evaporated— (laughter)—ainl they will begin to find that the danger which they discovered in the Franchise Bill was very small indeed compared to the imminent peril of the other. (Continued laughter.) If this should be the case, if we don't find a great number of the 33 coming back to their old friends—if we find that that large party, upon whom I look some times with astonishment and often with pity— (laughter)—.in the House of Commons, make the same fight against the two bills they have made against the Franchise Bill, what is the course that we ought to pursue ? It is evident the time has come when the great question must be again decided, whether the great liberal party and population of this country shall submit to that small reactionary minority which has been so loud in the House of Commons during thelastthree weeks. My own opi nion is that that reactionary party is a very small minority in thecountry, andthatthough they polled 313 votes to our 318 that is no measure whatever of _the position in the country. And more than that, I believe it is no measure of the position they hold amongst the middle classes of the country, if the working classes for the moment were put entirely h o ou greatwt of .the sos soon struggle--I gi tgl question.comes.e_T don't (c h ch e ae n we reersm. should lEofuvil if it Every tcomeday is t o t d o ue this during which the discussion on this question is continued, whether in Parliament or the country, there will be a more entire Cohesion between the intelligent middle classes and the great multitudes of the working classes of the people.- (Cheers.) That took place in 1831 and in 1832, and at the last that union became BO complete, and their power so demonstrated, that opinion swept, as it were, like a whirlwind from one end' of the country to the other, and that great Tory party which had ruled England for a l a 0 ic., o by syeverca,vrrse . discovered (Cheers. scarcely ) Letusth i e n w n a t i o a i n n s t l tyh evenew nh what to i n i s o n he p e ell ar o s u t s n e i o g f ht C w om he m n o y n o s u . Next Monday nigh a t ss w in il g l b in e t t h h will have any distinct intimation of the temper of parties there. When we see that the same opposition is to be made, that probably the bill or bills and the Government may be in jeopardy, then I think nothing could be more wise than that the whole Liberal party throughout the country should give that expression of support to the Govern ment which would convince the Government that change of their bills, or withdrawal of their bills, or postponement of their 'bills, or the resigna tion of the Government, would be a fatal policy. (Cheers.) The bill in 1831 was not carried without a dissolution of Parliament. It may be that this bill must go through the same ordeal. I believe that every day's discussion will make the result of a dissolution more certainly in favour of Reform, and I hope that when we separate—the many here from various towns from the North of England—we shall do all we can amongst our neighbours to prepare them for the struggle that may be impending. Re collect what you gained by the struggle of your fathers in the year 1832. You gained an amount of freedom and of good legislation which centuries be fore had not given you. I will not say recollect, but measure what good you will gain for your children and your children's children, if you now by one grand effort enable the Government successfully to pass the bill. The hon. member sat down amidst great cheering. After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meet ing terminated with three cheers for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and more cheers for Earl Russell. Naval and Military Intelligence. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, held a levde yesterday at the Horse Guards. Nearly 150 officers attended. Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth of Prince Arthur, her Majesty's ships Victory and Duke of Wellington, with all others in commission in Portsmouth harbour, the Pallas at Spithead, and the Irresistible at Cowes, hoisted the Royal Stan dard and national ensigns at their mastheads in honour of the day. At noon a Royal salute was fired. The Cherub and Minstrel, unarmoured screw gunboats, fitted out for service in North America and the West Indies, having made a satisfactory trial of their machinery, will go out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead to-morrow, where they will receive their remaining stores and undergo their official inspection prior to sailing for their destina tion. They are reported to sail on Thursday evening or Friday morning from Spithead, and it is expected that the armoured screw corvette Pallas, 6, Capt. M. Connolly, will convey them on, their voyage as far as Madeira. The band and remainder of the 66th Regiment arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Devonport.

The the influence which isoften attributed to it, and Mr Johnson's own election, no less than President Lin colnbeaten.

The I 2 ' mes admires the calm attitude of Mr. Johnson, but even his followers are beginning to doubt whether he thoroughly understands the nature and intensity of Northern sentiment. Them are generally two ways of carrying a point, and the way selected by Mr. Johnson looks too like an in opportune defiance of a very formidable a ntagonist. " C'est magnifique, mail ce n'st pas l a guerre," and a little conciliation of the triumphant North, as well as of the vanquished South, m ight perhaps have been more politic _ _ FRENCH SPIRITS.—The Director of Customs has s h o wing that the quantity of published official returns, spirits distilled in Franco between the Ist of October last and the Ist of April amounts to 1,433,487 hectolitres ; 1,190,343 hectolitres were withdrawn from the stores during the same period, of which 181,016 hectolitres were exported, and 1,009,327 hectolitres consumed at home. By comparing these figures with the produce during the corresponding six months of the preceding season, it will be found that there were 401,837 hectolitres more spirits distilled during the last six months, and 322,705 more hootolitros consupied.
