TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—When the first burst of enthusiasm and admira-
tion excited by the splendid troops about to embark for
the East has somewhat subsided, the country may be well
disposed to think of the hearts torn with grief and anxiety
of those dearest to them who must be left behind.
The pay of the soldier is wholly inadequate to maintain
his wife, even without children, in his absence on foreign
service, and no better proof could be given of deep, and
heal tfelt interest in the welfare of our soldiers—of true
sympathy with the one care that is weighing heavily on the
hearts of many of them—than by an earnest effort upon
the part of the country to ameliorate the condition of their
wives and families, who will be left, in general, in want
and suffering.
This is a subject which deserves our warmest support,
and let a well-devised scheme appear in your columns, and
the people of England will not be backward to prove that
their hearts feel what their lips so unanimously proclaim
—viz., a deep interest in the noble fellows who are going
forth from among us to devote their best blood to the

THE LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The anniversary fes-
tival of the members of this institution took place yes-
terday evening, at the London Tavern, Mr. W. Kirby
in the chair, when about 160 subscribers sat down to
dinner. After the usual loyal toasts, "The Army and
Navy" were drunk with unusual enthusiasm. The
chairman, in proposing the continued proifivirity of the
institution, expressed his satisfaction at its rapid pro-
gress and admirable organisation. All the-teachers had
done their duty. During the past year, 255 boys and
127 girls had been admitted into the asylum. Not one
of the boys who belonged to it had failed in obtaining
a situation ; and it was a remarkable fact, that those
who had once been inmates never ceased to cherish the
warmest attachment to the place that had sheltered
them in former years. He was glad to see among
the company so many men who would ere long take
the place of the present directors, most of whom
were well advanced in years. A hundred boys and girls
each paraded round the room, and I•eceivgi refreshuients.
The company were enlivened during time evening by
musical airs, under the direction of Mr. G. F. Taylor.
About 2,3001. was collected in aid of the institution, the
chairman contribliting 40/. After a 'few toasts to the
