Sir WILLIAM PRASE_ Bart., M.A., F.S.A.
On the 13th of June, 1865, it was admitted unanimously in
the House of Commons that the condition of London, as
regards Paving, Lighting, and Cleansing, was disgraceful.
No improvement has taken place.
The Traffic of London becomes every day more un-
manageable. The Public Vehicles are inferior to those of
Provincial and Continental Cities.
This Society has been formed to stimulate public atten-
tion ; to collect, condense, and make known facts ; to
point out defects in the law ; to enforce provisions at
present neglected; and to watch Bills introduced into Par-
liament on these subjects.
The London Street Reform Society is not pledged to
support any specific change in the Government of the
Metropolis.
Those who may wish to join the Society are requested
to write to J. S. Haly, Esq., Hon. Sec. L.S.R.S., 88, St.
James's-street, S.W.

stating the probable cost per arm, and accompanied by a
finished specimen arm, with 20 rounds of suitable ammu-
nition, should be sent to the "Director of Ordnance, War
°fficQ, Pall-mall," on or before the 30th March, 1867.
The specifications and specimen arms will be considered
by the Ordnance Select Committee and its associate mem-
Z."casr, who will be selected by the Secretary of State for
, and who will, after firing the 20 preliminary rounds,
select and recommend for further trial such of the systems
as may appear to them sufficiently promising, rejecting all
11c1-` as may not be considered to offer sufficient merits to
warrantdir their being included in the competition, the con-
Each of which are stated iu this advertisement.
.r:ach accepted competitor will then be required to furnish
for experi
menf, at Woolwich, six arms in strict conformity
to the specimen arm submitted, with 1,000 rounds of am-
munition per arm, within four months after date of de-
mand Each competitor will be required to disclose to the

Ploy. A sum of £3OO will be paid to each of the accepted
competitors. to cover the expense of the six rifles, and of
the supply of ammunition required.
The Secretary of State offers a reward of £l,OOO for the
arm which, on combination of all qualities, is considered
by the committee to he the best submitted.
A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at-
taining a satisfactory degree of excellence in other particu-
lars, is selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism.
A third reward of £lOO for the best cartridge. The qua-
ities which will be principally taken into consideration in
awarding this prize will be economy of manufacture, power,
of sustaining rough usage, freedom from deteriorationin
various climates, and general serviceability.
The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but
as they may depend upon the rifling of the arm with which'
the cartridge is associated, they will not be so much con-
sidered as those above-mentioned.
It is clearly to bo understood that under no circumstances
will a competitor be entitled to more than one prize ; but
such prize will bo irrespective of any reward which may be
given to the inventor of the anm finally adopted into the
service.

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 are homeless and starving. The Manager Ac.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
exe, 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 broad 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 ? Tho smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

power than Protestant England took part in his re-
storation. (Cheers.) And they did so on this ground,
that it was inimical to the interest of England--
considering the influence which the Pope exercised,
and the high estimation in whielt he was held in the
hearts of so many thousands of English subjects—
it might be dangerous to the interests of this country
to allow his Holiness to be the subject of a foreign
prince. (Hear, hear.) So it was that Protestant
England helped to bring back the Pope to his domi-
nions, and there was an end of the project of Napo-
leon I.; it broke against the rock of Peter, and
there was an end of it. The speaker referred, as
another instance of the intervention of God in
maintaining the supremacy of the pontificate, to
the incidents which marked the abdication and
restoration of the present Pope Pius IX. It was
said when the present Pontiff left Rome that that
was the last of the Papacy ; that the temporal
power of the Pope was at an end. But what hap-
pened? Why, his Holiness was afterwards brought
back and restored to his dominions by the very
Power which nearly everybody said was the least
likely to do it—the French Republic. (Hear, hear.)
It was that circumstance which caused France and
the present Emperor of the French, the successor of
the First Napoleon, to undertake the duty of pro-
tecting the Holy See—the duty of protecting the
temporal interests of the Pope. The recent events
which had happened since Napoleon undertook the
duty were well known to them. They had no doubt
read of the treachery and dishonesty practised by
Victor Emmanuel, which had enabled him to take
possession of a large portion of the Pope's dominions,
so that now only a small remnant was left to him.
Butyet what did we see ? It had been currently re-
ported in many of the Protestant newspapers that
the moment the support of the French troops was
withdrawn frrm Rome the Pope would have to flee,
that the cardinals would have to be put to death, the
clergy massacred, and the whole spiritual power of
the Pope at an end. But what was the fact ? Why,
although the Emperor of Franca had decided to
withdraw the protection he had so long afforded by
the presence of his soldiers, he yet at the same time
said to the Pope, through his representative, the
general in command, that though he withdrew his
troops he did not withdraw his protection, and that
if any attempt was ma le against the Government of
his Holiness to telegraph to him at once, and his
soldiers should march back again. (Cheers.) Since
then his Holiness has appeared in public, with no
other than a small personal escort, and with not a
single Feench soldier to be seen in the whole city,
and he was received by the people with the most en-
thusiastic demonstrations of affectionate veneration
and esteem. (Cheers ) This should inspire them with
renewed hope and lead them all, who were true
Catholics, to look less gloomy than they had done
with respect to the future of the Holy See. (Hear,
hear, and applause.) There was another point to
which he would just refer. It had been the fashion
to attack the Emperor of the French, and to heap
abuse upon him. Now, he thought that was very
indiscreet, to s Ly the least of it. They did not know
what reasons had induced him to take the course
which he had, and which they all condemned, that
of permitting the Piedmontese Government to take
possession of some of the Papal States. It was to be
hoped that when he thus gave his consent to the
part spoliation of the dominions of the Holy See that
he was influenced by some motives, or some power,
with which they were unacquainted, that to some
extent justified his so doing. He had promised still
to protect the Holy Father, if necessary, in his posi-
tion, and, therefore, let them give the Emperor
credit for good intentions in the matter until they
found from what might tran:pire in the future that
he was not sincere in what he said. (Hear, hear.)
Although he (the speaker) had now occupied more
of their time than he ought to have done—(cries of
" Go on")—yet there was one portion of the sub-
ject which he could not pass over entirely in silence.
He here referred to what was called the Roman
question. They were constantly hearing something
said about the solution of the Roman question.
They saw it in the newspapers, that was in the Pro-
testant portion of the press ; everywhere they were
constantly hearing or seeing something about the
solution of the Roman question. Now, what was
this Roman question? For himself he denied that
there was any Roman question at all. (Hear, hear.)
He would, however, illustrate what this Roman
question was, as referred to by the Protestant
newspapers, by the following supposition:—Sup-
pose, for instance, that any of them, in going home
that night were stopped by two or three stout ruf-
fians, who demanded their money or their life.
(Laughter.) Now, that. was really an illustra-
tion of this much-talked7of Roman question. It
was simply a question of robbery. (Hear, hear, and
applause.) The Government of Victor Emmanuel,
acting in the most hypocritical manner possible,
were constantly talking about the desirability of the
Pope introducing reform in his Government. But,
in point of fact, they did not want reform. (near,
hear.) No ; reform would not satisfy them ; what
Victor Emmanuel wanted was Rome. (Hear, hear,
and applause.) Then they talked about a reconci-
liation between the Pope and the Government of
Florence. Now, he thought he could also illustrate
that by another supposition very similar to his first.
It was just precisely.as if a man, after robbing them
of their watch and all their money, were to say, " I
will be reconciled to you providing you will make
over to me all the rest of your property." (Laughter
and cheers.) This was what the Government of
Victor Emmanuel say to the Pope—" Give us
Rome—give us the whole of your dominions—give
us everything you have left, for we have already
taken the largest portion, and then we will be recon-
ciled." (gear, hear, and laughter.) Now that was
just it. (Hear, hear.) Well, he must say that for
his part he should not be very much inclined to
accept such a reconciliation as that. (Hear, hear.)
Then they said, " We will not take your temporal
power altogether ; we will still allow you to hold
part possession, only let us have a garrison in Rome
so that we may protect you." Now, that seemed
to him too much like the fable of the wolf protecting
the sheep—(laughter and applause)—and certainly
such protection as that could not be listened to for
a moment—(herr, hear)—for it could not have been
offered but in a spirit of great bad faith and dis-
honesty. (Hear, hear.) And he would here re-
mark, further, that the object of the Piedmontese
Government was not merely to deprive the Pope of
the small remnant of temporal power which was
still left to him, but they
were also desirous to secure
they well knew, was
something more. Rome, as

Christ was managed at Rome. This, then, was the
object of all the plotting, and scheming, and pre-
tended friendship on the part of the Piedmontese
Government--the object of the different secret
societies that were formed in various parts of Italy
--to get into their hands the city of Rome, the great
centre of the governing power of the Catholic
Church, and then they hoped to be able to destroy
the Church. But they could not do it— (no, no)—
even if they succeeded in getting Rome into their
possession, they would still be foiled, by the provi-
dence of God, in the carrying out of so iniquitous a
proceeding. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) But at the
same time they, as Catholics, did not want to see
them at Rome—(hear, hear)—for, although they
might fail in their ultimate object, they
would still do a great deal of mischief. The least
they would do would be to plunder and pillage the
churches and the religious houses. Of this they had
an instance the other day at Venice, where, to satisfy
the clamourings of a mob for bread or work, a re-
presentative of the Piedmontese Government was
reported to have ordered the pulling down of two

got possession of it, and thereforeKwaral
to do what they could to expose and discountenance
the absurd plan of which they heard so much about
a reconciliation between the Government of Victbr
Emmanuel and the Pope. (Hear, hear.) In con-
clusion, the hon. gentleman urged all present to show
their love and loyalty to the Holy Father by doing
all that they could, not only in earnest prayer to
Almighty God, but by their subscriptions, to sup-
port his Holiness in the present time of trial and
difficulty. (Applause.) It was encouraging to
know that although dispossessed of more than two-
thirds of his dominions, and having yet to meet the
necessary expenses in connection with the Church,
on the whole the Pope had so far been enabled to
meet with punctuality and pay to the uttermost
penny every demand that was made upon him—
(cheers)—whilst the Government of Victor Em-
manuel was on the very verge of bankruptcy. After
a few remarks on the subject of the collection of
Peter's pence, the establishment of which he ad-
vocated in Wolverhampton, the hon. gentleman
resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic cheering.
