AT T THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, WHITE-
HALL, the 24th day of July, 1865, by the Lords of
her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council.
Present—Lord President, Sir George Grey, Bart.,
Mr. Milner Gibson.

Whereas by an act passed in the session of the eleventh
and twelfth years of her Dreamt Majesty's reign, iutituled
" AnAct to prevent until the lat day of September, 1850,
and to the end of the then next session of Parliament, the
spreading of contagious or infectious disorders among
sheep, rattle and other animals," and which has since
been from time to time continued by divers subsequent
acts, it is (amongst other things) enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Lords and others of her Majesty's Privy
Council, or any two or more of them from time to time to
make such orders and regulations as to them may seem
necessary, for the purpose of prohibiting or regulating the
removal to or from such parts or, places as they may de-
signate in such order or orders, of sheep, cattle, horses,
swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides, horns,
hoofs, or other part of any animals, or of hay, straw, fodder,
or other articles likely to propagate infection ; and alSo for
the purpose of purifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or
other place, or any waggons, carts, carriages, or other
vehicles ; and also for the purpose of directing how any
animals dying in a diseased state, or any animals, parts
of animals, or other things seized under the provisions of
this act, are to be disposed of ; and also for the purpose of
causing notices to be given of the appearance of any dis-
order among sheep, cattle, or other animals, and to make
any other orders or regulations for the purpose of giving
effect to the provisions of the said act, and again to revoke,
alter, or vary any such orders or regulations ' • and that all
provisions for any of the purposes aforesaid in any such
order or orders contained shall have the like force and
effect as if the same had been inserted in the said act ; and
that all persons offending against the said act shall for each
and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding
£2O, or such smaller sum as the said Lords or others of her
Majesty's Privy Council may in any such case by such
order direct.

And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder, of which
the nature is at present uncertain, has lately appeared, and
now prevails among cattle within the metropolis and in
the neighbourhood thereof, and it is expedient to take
measures for preventing such disorders from spreading,
Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council
do hereby, by virtue: and in exercise of the powers given
by the said recited act, and by the several acts continuing
the same aforesaid, orderas follows :

1. If at the date of the publication of this order in the
"London Gazette," there shall be any cow, heifer, bull,
bullock, or ox labouring under any contagious or infectious
disorder in the possession or custody of any cowkeeper,
dairyman, or dairywoman, or of any milkman or milk-
woman, or vendor or purveyor of milk, or of any dealer in
cattle whatsoever within the City. of London or within the
limits of the metropolitan police district, or if at any time
hereafter, while this present order shall continue in force
and unrevoked, any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox, being
in the possession or custody of any such person as afore-
said within the said City of London or within the metro-
politan police district shall be seized or attacked with, or
be found labouring or suffering under, any such contagious
or infectious disorder' notice of the existence of such dis-
order, or of the first appearance of such disorder in or
among the cattle belonging to or in custody of any such
person as aforesaid, shall immediately thereupon be given
by the person in whose possession or custody such diseased
animals or animal shall be, to the clerk of her Majesty's
Most Honourable Privy Council in waiting at the office of
har Majesty's Privy Council at Whitehall, in the county
of Middlesex ; and it shall be lawful for the said clerk of
her Majesty's Privy Council, and for all such persons as
shall by writing under his hand authorise in that behalf
thereupon, and at all reasonable times thereafter, to in-
spect or examine all or any such diseased animals or ani-
mal, and to report to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy
Council all such information and particulars as to the na-
ture or character of such disorder as may seem to him ex-
pedient for the purpose of enabling proper regulations to
be made for preventing or checking the further propaga-
tion and increase of such disorder.

2. Every person offending against this order, and omit-
ting to give such notice or to permit such inspection and
examination as aforesaid, shall for every such offence for-
feit 'any sum not exceeding twenty pounds, which the jus-
tices before whom he or she shall be convicted of such
offence may think It to impose.

The mode of admission to the House is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till
they are 11 years of age.
With the view I o secure 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 investigated by the Committee, and with this informa-
tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to
those most eligible for free admission.
This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to
take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify then for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender
age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those
who, trom neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are
those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and
left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose
parents may have at one time or other received parish relief,
and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose
parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who
train their children 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 from about four years of
age to 10. There is room for nearly HQ, and the Committee
would joyfully see the Home filled at once; they only wait
for the necessary subscriptions.
The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who
cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir-
cumstances of some wbo have been already admitted, they
ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs
wild in the streets and is beyond her control? Is it kind to
tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not
help her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must
ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the bast we can for the
little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it
doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when
these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into
the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "run away,"
none of us shou'd be found to care for them, to speak a kindly
word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing 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 statistics, which show that in London
alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of
age, 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 arc 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 Institution presents all the fea-
lures 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 school work—reading, and writing,
and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional
lessons in olijects 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 venous industrial occupations—
making brown psper bags for bankers, and white taper bags
for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any
who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending
the c othes, Ace. Some assist the master in the garden,
digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By

cally

The Naval Fetes at Cherbour °
,j•N
rr,‘oo
At the banquet given here on the Isth inst. fig. s -
the Lords of the English Admiralty, AL Chasseioup
Laubat, Minister of Marine, in his speech proposing
the toast "Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the
British Navy," said the time of hostile rivalry be-
tween the two countries had passed away. There
now only remained emulation in doing everything
that could advance the cause of civilization and
liberty. " The freedom of the seas, pacific contests
in labour, and the beneficent conquests of com-
merce " were meant by the union of the flags of
England and France.
The Duke of Somerset, replying to the toast,
thanked the Minister for the sentiments he had ex-
pressed, and said they accepted the toast as a proof
of the cordial friendship of the Emperor and the
French nation for the English Queen and the Eng-
lish people. They also, on their part, entertained
the same sentiments of esteem for the Emperor of
the French. They trusted his Majesty might long
•
continue to enjoy his present good health. This
they desired, not only because it was for the wel-
fare of the two countries, but also because it tended
to guarantee the happiness and the pacific progress
of Europe. In proposing the health of the Emperor
he spoke not in the name of the Government or of
any political party, but in the name of every en-
lightened Englishman.

The Frauds on the Birmingham Banking
Company.

Benjamin Taylor and Henry Kelly, who stand chasrged
with having conspired to defraud the Birmingham Banking
Company of a large sum of money, by means of forged bills
of exchange, were yesterday again placed at the bar of the
Mansion-house, before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of
Detective-sergeant Webb, to undergo a further examination
upon that charge.

Mr. George Lewis appeared to prosecute ; Mr. Montagu
Williams, barrister,' appearedfor Taylor, and Mr. Beard
appeared for Kelly.
Rebecca Braby said she lived at 50, Wood-street, Cheap-
side, and let out part of her house as offices. In the be-
ginning of 1864 she had a paper up that the office was to
be let, and the prisoner called and said he wanted to take
an office merely for his samples. He ultimately took an
office in her house at £2O per annum, and gave the name
of " Campbell and Kelly," and signed the agreement " C.
Kelly and Co." The prisoner gave up the office in July,
1864, and had only paid her one quarter's rent. She never
saw any Mr. Campbell at the office.
Robert Aldred, master of the Union, Wandsworth, said
his wife was possessed of a house, 285, High-street, Camden
Town, which was let to a person named Runsdale, who left
the houso in the early part of 1864. Early in December
last Kelly called on him and said ho had taken the house
from Mr. Runsdale, and had called to see if he would be
accepted as a tenant. He said he had done certain repairs
to the house, and he had accepted him forthe remaining
portion of the time, which was until Midsummer this year.
He gave the name of Henry Kelly. He still occupied the
house at the present time, and owed two quarters' rent.
Charles Burgess said ho lived in the service of Messrs.
Brown and Sons, bootmakers, 81, High-street, Birmingham.
He knew both prisoners, and had known Kelly about five
years. He first knew him as Kelly, and knew that ho took
an office, 424, in Oxford-street, London, in the name of
Campbell, Kelly, and Co. Witness was then employed at
the shop over which the prisoner had his office. The house
was rented by Benjamin Nichol, who was the prisoner's
brother-in-law, and carried on the business of a leather-
seller and bootmaker, and the prisoner had his letters ad-
dressed there as Campbell, Kelly, and Co. At the same
time he knew him to be carrying on business at 285, High-
street, Camden-town, in the name of Ross and Co. He had
seen Kelly write on several occasions. The acceptances to
the two bills produced, 'drawn by Taylor on Ross and Co.,
he believed were in Kelly's handwriting.
Mr. Lewis was about to put some bills also drawn by
Taylor, and accepted by Ross and Co., and which had been
issued to other parties, into the hands of witness.

. •
Mr. Montagu Williams objected, inasmuch as they were
irrelevant to the charge of defrauding the Birmingham
Banking Company.

The Lord Mayor ruled that they could not be evidence.
Witness continued—He managed the shop in Oxford-
street, which was carried on by Benjamin Nichol. The
name over the door was witness's name—Burgess and Co.
Kelley had had conversation with witness and Nichol, and
Kelly said it would be to witness's advantage to have his
name up, as he would one day be made a partner, and he
was induced to allow him to use his name. He believed
the premises belonged to Nichol and the prisoner Taylor.
He used to see Taylor there at times. Witness never au-
thorised them to accept bills in his name, nor was he aware
that they were doing so until he was told so by Mr. Lewis.
He never accepted bills as C. Burgess and Co., and the two
bills which were produced, purporting to be accepted by
Burgess and Co., were not `accepted by him. He was never
asked to accept bills. He signed receipts to bills Burgess
and Co., and paid the money over. Tie handwriting of
C. Burgess and Co., across the two bills, ho believed to be
Nichol's. Nichol was carrying on a business at 2a, Dean-
street, Soho, as Nichol and Co. The acceptance, B. Nichol
and Co. to a third bill produced, was also in the handwrit-
ing of Nichol.
Benjamin Wheeler Poulton said he carried on business
as commission agent, at 24, Coleman-street. He knew
Kelly. In January last ho told him that he had been
building, and had lodged the deeds with his lawyer, who
advanced him money weekly to pay his men ; but as he
was lending his clients' money ho wanted more security,
and asked witness to lend him his acceptance. He told the
prisoner he could not pay the bills if ho were called upon,
and he said he would hold him harmless. Ho accepted
four bills, one was for £lOB 18s., and the other three were
blanks. Two of them had the drawer's name. Three
bills, £45 17s. 6d., dated 25th March, 1865 ; £9l 6s. 3d.,
dated April 11; and £62 10s., dated let April, wore all
three his acceptances, and were drawn by Taylor.
Mr. Lewis said the whole of the body of one of the bills
was in the writing of Taylor, clearly showing his connec-
tion with Kelly.
Witness continued—The bills had been presented and
had been dishonoured. He had got the small bill back

By the Lord Mayor—Kelly at the time he gave him the
bill said he was alone, and was engaged in a large build-
ing transaction.

George Morris, warehouseman to Messrs. Bevington and
Co., leather manufacturers, Cannon-street West, said he
knew . Taylor, who had had transactions with tho firm.
The bill for £62 10s. produced was received by him by
letter from the prisoner Taylor.
In the course of the examination Mr. Lewis, in answer
to the Lord Mayor, said the whole amount which tho Bir-
mingham Company had lost was about £2,700. The
account was opened with a small deposit in money, and
very little money was paid in during the three weeks the
account was open.
The plisoners were again remanded.

rapidity as t envelope the whole of the factory before
sufficient time rad elapsed for the engines to got to work.
The flames rose so high as to illuminate the country for
miles distant, and fire was belching forth from the various
windows, loop-holes, and roof,tausing the greatest excite-
ment in the neighbourhood, increased to no small extent
from so many of the workmen employed on the spot living
in the locality. Tho fire continued its fearful ravages for
a considerable time, and could not be extinguished until
the major portion of the extensive works, together with
the valuable stock-in-trade, working blocks, and other
effects, were destroyed. The books, vouchers, and other
documents were saved in consequence of being in a fire-
proof safe. The origin of the fire is unknown.
