BEATRICE. By JULIA KAVANAGH
Author of

Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

TlMES.—Happy is the nation whose annals are
dull, and happy is the time when a Royal Message
excites no curiosity. Twelve mouths ago we were
not in such a happy case. A nation loving peace
much, but loving honour more, was doubtful how
fai its rulers had committed themselves in support
of a gallant people fighting against overwhelming
odds, and the words from the steps of the Throne
were waited for with eager curiosity. An unusual
throng of members of the Lower House attended
the Speaker to the gorgeous chamber of the Peers,
and
.weighed every sentence pronounced by the Lord
Chancellor, conscious that peace or war hung in the
balance. The people were uneasy, but ready for
either fate, and their representatives were agitated
by a sympathy which perfectly reflected th feel-
ings of the people. The present generation had for
once an opportunity of understanding the anxiety
with which a neighbouring nation always awaits the
utterances of its ruler, conscious that its destiny lies
in his hand, and ignorant of the schemes which are
busy in his brain. Our moribund Parliament' en-
tered on its last stage yesterday like a veteran who
knows that the end of a long life cannot be far dis-
tant, but who can look back upon the past with no
more regret than all mortals must feel in such a
retrospect. It would be absurd to say that nothing
could have been better, but it would be unjust not to
allow that much might have been worse. In spite
of a crowd of difficulties the Ministers of the Crown
have shown a rare discretion in preserving the im-
partiality and the honour of the nation, and they
have been supported on all occasions in no ungrud-
-ing spirit by the representatives of the-people. A
Royal Message at the opening of Parliament is
always a review of progress for the past six months,
and in the dullest of times is so far serviceable. In
the speech which the Lord Chancellor read yesterday
he was able to congratulate the country on the peace-
ful relations subsisting between all the European
Powers. It is, indeed, no fault of the English
nation that there is not peace throughout
the world. The Temple of Janus is not
shut, but we at least have done our best
to close the doors. Assiduously bent on .develop-
ing our own resources on improving _ the con-
dition and elevating the standard of happiness of
our people, we have not failed to present these aims
to the rulers of other nations, without forgetting
the liberty which is the first condition of material
prosperity. It is to be regretted that our steady aver-
sion from an unnatural war has only served to irri-
tate both the contending parties in North America.
Whatever sympathies may have been begotten
in the progress of the war, all Englishmen were
united in reprobating the causeless origin, and all
remain united in deprecating the conditions on
which alone peace is declared to be possible. It is
impossible to contemplate the dissension which has
rent asunder the most powerful Federation the world
has ever seen without thinking of the new Federa-
tion in course of formation among the American pro-
vinces which still own allegiance to the British
Crown. The project for consolidating these vast
territories is dealt with in a most business-like
paragraph in the Royal Message. A plain histo-
rical narrative of the steps which have been taken
by the Delegates of the North American Provinces,
and a simple announcement that a bill will be laid
before Parliament to carry into effect the resolu-
tions of the Delegates if they shall be adopted by
the several Provincial Legislatures, serve to dismiss
one of the largest schemes which have ever been
discussed by statesmen. The apparently cursory
manner in which the proposed Federation is men-
tioned is, however, a tribute of respect rather than
a slight A) Canadian politicians. It is the recogni-
tion of the practical emancipation of these confede-
rate Provinces from home control. The people and
Parliament of Great Britain are alike persuaded
that the time has passed when any interference
should be attempted with the deliberate wishes of
American colonists, and, without losing our interest
in the future destinies of a vast Continent bound
to us by every tie of kinship and friendship, we
are content to approve the independent action of
its inhabitants. We have only to turn our atten-
tion to New Zealand to perceive the dangers of a
different course of conduct. A sullen feeling of
dissatisfaction at having to contribute to the cost
of a war on the merits of which not one in
a hundred thousand of us entertains an opinion
is beginning to grow among 'Englishmen at home,
am la recimeal resentment may not improbably be
awtikened in New Zealand. The colonists -complaiii
that they are unable to carry out a policy which
they have deliberately formed, and taxpayers not
unreasonably inquire why they should be involved
in wars to which they arc inextricably engaged be-
fore they are aware of their existence. In the
middle of a contest we can only take note of the
evils attendant upon our existing policy ; to use the
illustration of Mr. Lincoln, it is bad to change
horses while crossing a stream, but on the restora-
tion of peace in New Zealand we may not unprofit-
ably endeavour to improve the relations between
the mother country and her dependencies. The
mysterious passages in the Queen's Message which
refer to India need an interpreter to make them in-
telligible. On the whole, the sentences submitted to
her Majesty by her advisers are singularly free from
those faults which made Cobbett select the dreadful
examples of his grammar from Royal Speeches, but
in the Indian paragraphs we find something to keep
up the memory of the old errors. Perhaps they were
framed by the statesman so rudely rebuked by a
young member at the close of last session for his
imperfect faculty of speech. Grave as was the dis-
aster which visited Bengal and Madras at the close
of last year, we can scarcely repress a smile when it
is made to appear that the prompt assistance ren-
dered by the officers of the Government produced
sufferings which were relieved by generous contri-
butions made in various parts of India. The mean-
ing of this paragraph may, however, be surmised,
which cannot be said of the second devoted to the
Indian Empire. -The statement that a force has
been employed to repress outrages on property
would appear to describe an increase in the police
for the purpose of putting down brigandage, but
Lord Granville had to exp'ain last night that it re-
ferred to the expedition against Bhootan. If this
be the case, and the Indian Secretary was the author
of the paragraph, he certainly does not deserve the
railing accusation of the young Scotch member last
session, for no man ever showed a profounder sense
of what has been cynically called " the true use of
speech."

PROSPECTUS.

This Company has been established for the purpose of
facilitating the Registration of Titles to Landed Estates,
under the provisions of the " Land Registration Act ;" and
also for the purchase of Freehold Land, the titles to which
have been, already registered, or are capable of being brought
within the operation of the Act.
Large profits have within the last few years been derived
from the judicious purchase of Landed Estates and blociis of
Freehold property in the vicinity of fhe Metropolis, and their
re-sale in lots for building and other purposes. The success
of these undertakings is, in a great measure, attributable to
the extraordinary rise in the value of land in the suburbs of
large towns, and the constaAly increasing demand for sites
of villa residences—a demand which must keep pace with the
growth of the nat'onal prosperity and population.
The chief obstacle hitherto to these most legitimate enter-
prises has been found in the difficulties, delays, and expense
attendant upon the transfer of land, and a:1 subsequent deal-
ings with it ; while cumbrous titles, and the continual neces
sity of their re-examination, all tend to depreciate the value
of landed property,
To remedy this evil the "Land Registration Act" was
passed, whereby the transfer of Real Estate is simplified,
and a mass of parchment deeds is condensed into a clear,
simple, and parliamentary title; but, notwithstanding the
manifest advantages conferred by this measure, the public
have hitherto availed themselves of it only to a limited ex-
teat, partly from ignoiance of the mode of procedure to be
adopted, partly from difficulties beyond the control of indivi-
duals, arising from the nature of the encumbrances and ex-
tent of the charges already existing on the property.
The especial object of this Company is to assist owners of
property who, Irt m want of funds or other taus s, have
hitherto been unable to avail themselves of the advantages
offered by the Act. The Company will undertake the exa-
mination and registration of titles to Landed Estates; it will
rrovide the fun dafor the necessary preliminary expenditure;
discharge the various incumbrances, where the value of the
estate bears a just proportion to the amount charged upon
it; and will also facilitate the arrangements of persons de-
sirous of lending or borrowing on landed security. Whilst,
from the nature of these operations and the securities held
by the Company, it will be prott et( d against all risk of loss,
considerable profit must be derived, and owners of land will
find their advantage in the increased value of their property.
The Company will p :reit> se Registered aid other. Landed
Estates, and re-sell them in lots or otherwise, where the ad-
vantages of a simple and Parliamentary title enable them to
fleet the distribution and re-sale without de ay and without
expense. _ _ _

The Directors have received from various quarters offers of
immediate and profitable business, at d the negotiations al-
ready entered ihto with Influential parties will insure for the
Company a lucrative and w,dely-extended business.

This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to
take la the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify the e for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tendar
age precludes their admission to the Itt fuges. Such are those
who, from 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.
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 Ins' itution 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,
th it 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 lite, 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 gaper 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, &c. Some assist the master in the garden,
digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By
degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing
and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots,
knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active
working life.
There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of
age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 , 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 who have been already admitted, they
ask—is it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
lite because one of them (the naughty boy of the tam ly) 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
h 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must
ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best 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 "inn away,"
none of us shoo d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly
word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe than ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the
other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's
keeper?"
The mode of admission to the House is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, c:othed, educated, and taught till
they are 11 years of age.
With the view to srcure 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.
2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance.
All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of
admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any
time as soon as approved by the Committee,
Elections of children to be adaitted free will take place as
frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will
admit, till the Home is full ; they will then be held periodi-
cally
Forms of application for the admission of children may be
had at the Home, and of the Honorary Secretary,

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of exvense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
Tne Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the inzreasi g applications through the
recent storms and less (1 life at sea, and to enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate w th the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.

home to the 12 now in operation. Last year no fewer
than 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected trom
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in flue years. Here are brief details of a few
of the most recent cases :
F. F., aged 15, fallen, mother dead, deserted by her father.
M. A. F., aged 13, homeles,., both parents dead.
A. 8., aged 17, fallen, father dead, deserted by her mother.

have been led astray from the path of virtue.

Po sr.—The prologue having been duly delivered,
the inevitable speeches having been made, the regu-
lation questions having been asked, and the shadows
of coming motions having flitted across the floor, on
Friday night the first act of party warfare will be
placed upon the stage. Lord Palmerston will then
move that the House resolve itself into a Committee
of Supply for the purpose of filling up the important
office vacated by Mr. Massey having accepted the
post of Finance Minister in India. On both sides Mr.
Massey's resignation will be much regretted : it will
be e regretted not only by the members of the House
itself, who had learnt to value his impartiality and
accurate knowledge of the rules and practice of Par-
liament, but equally by those outside the walls whose
transaction of private business brought them daily
in contact with him, and who daily felt the import-
ance of the facilities afforded to them by his urbanity,
experience, and unwearied assiduity. The qualities
which Mr. Massey has exhibited here are precisely
those which are most calculated to enable him to
succeed in the discharge of the new and arduous
functions which he is about to undertake. To find a
successor to Mr. Massey who will satisfy the re-
quirements of the position and the expectations. of
the public is not an easy matter, and we believe
that till within the last twenty-four hours the Oppo-
sition thought that they perceived in the difficulty a
favourable occasion for another trial of party strength.
It will be proposed by Lord Palmerston that Mr.
Dodson, the member for the Eastern Division of
Sussex, shall be appointed to the vacancy created
by Mr. Massey's retirement. Mr. Dodson, having
taken high honours at Oxford, came into Parliament
in 1857, and has since made himself favourably
known by the temper and discretion with which he
has addressed himself to many important subjects
in the House, and by the ability with which he
has on various occasions discharged the duties of
chairman of committees up stairs. At the same
time it cannot be denied that Mr. Dodson is a
comparatively young member, and that, whatever
promise of efficiency his caner may hold out,
he can scarcely yet be said to have attained
a positively high reputation or an eminent
position. Under these circumstances it is not un-
natural that it should occur to the Leaders of the
Conservative party that something might be made
of the opportunity, and that, if they could run a
man of eminence and general popularity against
the Ministerial candidate, they might snatch the race
out of the fire and pull off a victory which, if not
productive of any very great practical advantage,
would make a good appearance, renovate some-
what their banners so much dragged
through
the mud, and gather together once more the
scattered elements of their party. Withthis
view we believe three, if not four, eminent meam-
e.
bers who sit on the Conservative benches were s

addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a con iderable period averaged between

cessively asked by their leaders to allow themselves
to be put in nomination for the Chairmanship of
Ways and Means, and successively, we are given to
understand, each declined ; and, upon this failure
to
.induce any man of Cabinet calibre to forego his
position as a politician and as a party debater, that
it was resolved not to oppose the nomination of Mr.
Do
appointed Dodson, who will therefore, in all probability, be
quietly on Friday. The determination is
a wise one, and it is only just to the Conservatives
to say that we believe they were not entirely
uninfluenced by a feelingthey that could
hardly with- propriety contest the nomina-
tion to such a post with a Minister
Lord Palmerston's position, unless they had a man.
1
to propose of such high reputation as to make it
next to impossible for the House, and even the Mi-
nister, to do otherwise than accept him. This failure,
however, of the Conservatives to induce any lead-
ing politician to allow himself to be put in nomina-
tion, and their quiet acceptance of Mr. Dodson,
suggest a rather important consideration with regard
to the office itself. The Chairmanship of Ways and
Means, as the office still continues most unmean-
ingly to be designated, is now a very different
matter from -what it was ten, or even half ten,
years ago. To take the chair in Committee of
Ways and Means is the least laborious and the
least important of the functions actually discharged
by this important officer of the House. Year after
year he has been loaded, as being the bearer of
burdens nearest at hand, with the conduct of every
piece of experimental legislation or administra-
tion in which the How, -from time to time
has been indulging ; and the result 'is that
lie is now staggering under an accumulation of
duties that may well bring the most active and
robust man to a standstill, and envelop the most
acute and clear intellect in a muddle. Besides being
chairman of all committees in the house, Mr. Massey
was chairman of all committees on unopposed bills
out of the house ; and, it was, in addition, his func-
tion to examine thoroughly all private bills, whether
opposed or unopposed, and to communicate, if he
deemed it necessary, with the chairman of the com-
mittees on unopposed bills with regard to any points
to which he thought the attention of their
com-
mittees should be specially directed. These duties
involve great power and great responsibility, which
will be largely augmented should the plan of Col.
Patten, brought before the house at the close of last
session, be carried into effect. Such being the
duties, the power, and the responsibility of the
Commons' Chairman of Committees, we entertain a
strong opinion that the position conferred by hold-
ing it ought to be a much higher one than it is. It
ought to be such that no member of the house, bar-
ring the actual leaders on either side, would consider
it a sacrifice to accept the office. We know that the
late Sir Robert Peel strongly entertained this view.
He considered that the chairman of committees
ought to be a Privy Councillor, with a salary of not
less than £3,000 a year, and a residence in the
house. In this Parliament, so near its -end, it may
hot be worth while to make so large a change as
we have suggested, but we trust that on the assem-
bling of a new Parliament measures may be taken
to give to the office of chairman of committees that
prestige and importance which will induce first-rate
men to seek it as a stepping-stone, instead of re-
garding it, as they are now apt to do, as a siding
for shunting politicians.
