N3WPORT•MARKET WWII.

The annual meeting of the subscribers to and
the friends of this practically torifol charity was held on
Satarday afternoon at Willis's Rooms, the Earl of CAB-
NAROON in the chair ; and there were present the Bishop
of Oxford, Mr. W. H. Gladstooe, M.P., Mrs. W. R. Glad-
stone, Commodore Ryder, Sir H. Beare, Mr. Rankin, trz.
The Rev. Mr. Quitman having opened the meeting
with prayer,
The SSCRETABT (Mr. Shaw) read the report of the com-
mittee, of which the following is the substanoe :
" This refuge hem been in full operation during the
whole of 1865, with the exception of the period between
June 6 and Oct. 3 18,707 nights lodgings bare been
given, aid 46,069 rations distributed. Doris; the
slimmer months the large upper ward was occupied se
a ragged school by the poor children of the market.
The committee have kept steadily before them one special
object of this reap, viz., that of providing work or sites.
tioss for these inmates whose characters will bear irivesti.
within. 485 non and women have thus been provided for ;
and forty girls who sooght shelter in the refuge have
been placed in penitentiaries. About 70 gallons of soap
love been supplied weekly from the refuge sierra the com-
meoconent of winter, at a pinny a quart to many of the
destitute families in the crowded districts adjoining the
refuge ; this work has been greatly aided by the kindness
of the committee of the Union Club in giving a liberal
supply of broken victuals. In accordance with a resolution
passed at the lot annual meeting an effort has been
made to found an industrial school for destitute boys
in conneotion with the refuge ; and a sum of 5001.
from the fund collected by the publics appeal of
December, 1864, has bees allotted in aid of this object. The
committee, however, regret to state that, owing to the great
difficulty and expense in securing suitable premises, they
have been unable se yet to open the sehooL The oorn-
=Mee acknowledge the cutioned sympathy shown by the
pros and the public generally in the condition of the home-
less poor. One happy result of this interest attaching to
the work of nightly refuges, and of the publicity afforded
to the wretched state of those who apply to them for re-
lief, has been the passing of the Hong/leo Poor Act. Thanks
are specially doe to Captain Walter, of the Commissionaire
Corps, for help in finding employment for several cases of
this description ; also to Mrs. W. E. Gladstone, for adding to
the funds of the refuge a slim of 5001., being a moiety of the
munificent gift placed at her disposal by the liberality of
the Messrs. Suwon, in memory of their father.
This sum has been invested in Consols. The com-
mittee wish to remove a very common misconception. It is
generally supposed that many professional beggars frequent
the refuge ; but this is not the ease ; the tickets supplied
to them by subscribers are not presented here, as a class
the beggars fare better, and spurn our meagre accommo-
dation, and the pittances of bread and coffee so gratefully
received by a more decaying clam ; we therefore respect.
fully claim a share of that support soprofusely bestowed
upon professional mendicancy.*

THE Fox CLHE.—The first meeting of the Fox
Club this season took place on Saturday evening at
Brooks's. Present— Earl Fithwillians, Earl of Albemarle,

LONDON AND SOUTH-WtSTIHN RAILWAY.—The
hell-yearly amounts to the 31st December. 1865. submitted
with the present report, allow the net revenue for the nix
=oaths, after deducting interest as loans and all other
prefereetial charges, to be 218.0321. 190.. 4d., which; with
the surplus of June, 1865, of 7461. 10s. Id., leaves a balance
available for dividend of 213,7791.95. 11/41. From the above
sum the directors recommend that a dividend be decla.ed
at the rate of 54 per cent. per annum, payable on the let
March, amounting on 7,733,6941. 16e. Id. of paid-op
capital, to 212,6761. 12s. Id., leaving to be carried over to
the current half-year 1,102 f. 17a. 4d. The gross romane
of the company for the half-year exceeds that of the oor-
reapoeding period of 1864 by 37,2381. Notwithstanding
the high rates which have prevailed is the money
market cleric% the last sir months, it is satisfactory
to point to the very small increase in the rate of in-
terest on the company's mortgage debt, it guiding at 4.28
as against 4.26 per cent. ea stated in the report of August
I last. The air< eters state that considers ble number of schemes
I are likely to come noilsr the consideration of parl•simerit in
the nest 'mien calculated to inflict mischief on this com-
pany. The promoters of these projects seek powers to
make new railways at an enormous cost in the south-wen
metropolit.n district,especially in the dlrection of Kingston
and Richmond. Some of these schemes are directly ants-
gonithc sad incompatible the one with the other, and the
1 directors anticipets that roost of them will fail to survive
the opposition which will be urged against them. Other
; Knee are also devised in distrieta served by this company's
railways, and these. as well as those above referred to, are,
j in the judgment of the board, for the most part amseeee-
nary for the public service and should be opposed. It is •
matter of surprise and regret that some of these unnecess-
ary and invasive projects ars promoted by established ca.-
i ponies with whom it boa bees the object of the board to
maintala friawdly rstatioes...
