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 aro homeless and starving. The Manager
:eceives 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 proposed, 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 bo most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratsfully received by the liov.:,D._GiLlikatT. Dd)., N0.:21,

The Defection of the Juurist Leaders.

- _.,,-

New York despatches announced, as a comple-
ment to the last news relative to the defection 01

he principal Juarist loaders in Mexico, that one of
hem, Escobedo, had been taken and shot by the
,roops of Ortega. The following are given as the
'acts which preceded that military tragedy :
" The soldie: s of Ortega must bavebeen composed

chiefly of the corps of Canales, numbering 2,000
men, who wore in garrison at Matatnoras. Thanks
to the intervention of the American General Sedg-

wick, Canales, representing Ortega, and Escobedo
for Juarez, were reconciled, not without great efforts

•
on the part of the United States agent. A first in-
terview took place between them on the 28th Nov.,

but it led to nothing, in spite of the two long hours
of talk. Escobedo retired, with the intention of
marching the following day on Matamoras, which
was defended by Canales, and protected by a negro
regiment belonging to the Federal army, the flag
of which floated on the Piazza Major. The United
States soldiers were there only, General Sedgwick
said, in order to protect American citizens ; but
Escobedo afterwards declared that it was solely
to the presence of the Federal colours, and the in-
fluence which the sight of them exercised upon his

troops, that he had to attribute their defeat. Thus,
the starry banner, which Gen. Sherman himself in
his report states to have weighed so greatly against
the destinies of the Mexican Empire, had become a
cause of terror for the Juarist troops of Escobedo.
On the day following his first and fruitless inter-
view with Canales the former attacked Matamoras
and failed. He therefore retreated, closely pursued
by the latter, who left his fortifications. In the
pursuit, the partisan of Ortega had his brother
killed by his side, while crossing a bridge over which
the Juarists were flying, and turning from time to
time to send back a Parthian shot. After this defeat
Gen. Sedgwick succeeded in bringing about another
conference between the two Liberal chiefs, and on
this occasion the interview ended in a reconciliation.
Escobedo, the Juarist, and Canales, the adherent of
Ortega, embraced each other in presence of their
troops with demonstrations of friendship, described
ironically and at full length in the Mexican corres-
pondence of the New York papers. An announce-
ment was then made that the brothers-in-arms
who, the day before, were enemies, were about
to set out together to march upon San- Luis-Potosi
and the other places occupied by the Imperialists.
The result of this fraternal' expedition is now
known. Canales, whose brother had fallen under
the bullets of Escobedo, was evidently unable to
become so suddenly the sincere friend of the Juarist
leader. He had feigned a reconciliation in order the
better to revenge himself upon his former enemy,
and the more easily to reunite the Escobedists under
his orders. Nothing, besides, was easier, since, in the
battle before Matamoras, according to the American
letters, Canales had taken prisoner one of his op-
ponent's soldiers, whom he at once ordered to turn
face about, and fire upon his former comrades.
Those captured by Escobedo acted in that way, fot
the Mexicans care little to know on which side they
fight."
It is therefore probable that, at the time .when
these two leaders, apparently reconciled, were
marching on San-Luis-Potosi, or still holding revel
at Matamoras, Canales must have summoned
Ortega, who being sustained by the united troops
of both chiefs lost no time in causing Escobedo to
be shot.

Fashions for January.

(From Le Fonet)

The weather having at last become more season-
able, the winter materials decided upon and exhi-
bited for the last two months are now brought into
requisition. ' We are very glad to welcome the re-
turn of brocaded silks; there is hardly any dress
more suitable for an elderly lady. Young ones have
not yet adopted it, excepting for tunics or portions
of a dress. Satin is also very much in favour for
all purposes. There is scarcely any fabric so elegant
or essentially " grand° dame." Velvet, that used to
be reserved for toilettes of ceremonies, is now mak-
ing its appearance for all kinds of occasions ; and
the velveteen, so fashionable this autumn, is rapidly
giving way to plush and poplin. The plush dresses
and mantles en suite look very elegant and season-
able, and require little or no trimming. Stripes are
still in the ascendancy, but are no longer plain ;
they are formed by medallions or small patterns.
Black is most fashionably worn, but grey and violet
seem the favourite colours. Several beautiful shades
of blue have appeared. Very little green is seen,
excepting for in-door wear. Fur is very much
worn as trimming, the species preferred being Astra-
kan, sable, chinchilla, martin, miniver, and squir-
rel ; the two latter being preferred for very young
ladies and children. Grebe is also iu great
favour, as are most kinds of feather trimming. Lace
is, of course, kept • for in-door and evening wear.
Grelot and chenille fringes are also much used as
ornaments ; velvets worked with beads or em-
broidered in floss silk likewise make a most elegant
addition to a toilette. For evening wear satins and
silks are much worn; but for young ladies who dance
lighter materials are considered preferable.-such as
gauze, nets, tarlatanes, or tulles, worn over silk or
satin under-skirts. The usual trimmings for these
dresses are ruches, beads, and flowers. Many young
girls wear foulard tunics and corselets over muslin
bodies and skirts.. This forms a very pretty,
young, and by no means expensive dress. With twa
or three muslin dresses with low and high bodies,
a !young lady can make a very nice appearance
through the winter evenings, either for demi-toilettes
or small dances, as with the addition of a silk or
foulard corselet and plastron the toilette is complete,
and can be constantly diversified.
Hardly any alteration worth mentioning has taken
place in the form and trimmings of the mantles
worn this month. They are still ornamented with
small bands of fur, and have long handsome guides
at the back of the neck. The long hanging sleeves
are likely to come into great favour for cloaks, espe-
cially if made of velvet or satin. If the mantle is
of velvet or satin, trimmed with fur or feathers, the
muff is invariably made to correspond. Wo do not
see many shawls, but those aro never worn trian-
gularly as they used to be, but always folded
straight like a scarf. We do not consider this at
all an elegant fashion ; but as the mode it is our
duty to chronicle it.
A few attempts have been made to introduce
some very ugly forms for bonnets, but those at pre-
sent in wear—the " Catalaue" and the " Lamballe"
—are so very becoming :and elegant that we sin-
cerely trust they will not be replaced.
Crinoline, in spite of all the abuse and prognos-
tications against it, is still worn. The form is very
much altered, but the skirt, let it be of what mate-
rial it may, invariably has a few steels, but only
round the bottom. For out-door wear, with the
short dresses, a small round crinoline is worn (no
lady ever attempts to appear in a short dressss with-
the
out one). With an in-door or evening dre
crinoline is long behind, and made with a train.
Linen collars and cuffs with medallions of lace are
much worn ; very fine tatting is also much in favour

for this purpose.
The hats worn arc exactly the same as those in-
troduced last mouth, and are ornamented in the
same manner, the materials being generally velvet,

felt, or beaver.
There is an endless variety of lace and muslin
bodies, both high and low, intended to be wornwith
corselets. Some are exceedingly elegant ; none
more so than those formed of alternate medallions
of lace and satin• stitch embroidery.
Wo have seen several very elegant muslin and
lace peplums, also some of black figured net with
lattice-work of coloured velvet spotted with co-
loured beads. Ono peplum barque shown to us was
formed of black velvet, about four inches wide,
