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 &c.,
receives 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 £3,000 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 be most welcome,
and, night and morning, tbo prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS aro earnestly requested, and will be

Naval and Military Inteili,;er.ce.

The following order was issued at Aldershot yes-
terday :
The Secretary of State for War has directed that the
new contracts for forage to come into force this day, Nov.
1, shall bo framed upon a now principle. The forage,
whether oats, hay, or straw, shall bo delivered by the con-
tractors in bulk, and after being inspected by a regimental
and a commissariat officer, in accordance with Horse
Guards' General Order, No. 881, dated March 6, 1866, shall
be passed into store to be held and issued by the commis-
sariat, the contractors having nci!luither liability for the
quality or quantity after its acceptance, unless it should ap-
pear on opening the trusses of hay or straw, or the sacks of
oats, for issue that, whether by accident or fraud, any por-
tion be not equal to contract quality from causes manifestly
ascribable to original bad quality, in which case such in-
ferior forage shall be returned to the contractor. The sub-
stitutes for forage to be limited to the following articles in
the following proportions .-101 b. barley, or 311 b. oatmeal,
or 121 b. bran, for ono ratio in lieu of ono ratio of oats ; and,
when procurable, 361 b. green forage, or 121 b. carrots for one
ratio in lieu of ono ratio of hay. - Staff and regimental offi-
cers will be at liberty to draw from the commissariat on a
separate return such forage as may bo required for the
number of horses allowed by regulations, payment at the
contract rate being in the one case made by the officers
themselves, and in the case of regimental officers by the
paymaster monthly in arroar. Staff and regimental officers
will send in their returns direct to the commissariat, by
whom they will be clj,eeke.d, and with' wh23l..they will
main as vouchers for issues; they will be required to take
at least one Week's-quantity at a time. Stable litter and
dung will be disposed of as a barrack service, like the cost
tents of ashpits,
account special pur-
poses

horses will
stop-
pages will be made and accounted for to the War-office as
personal rations of officers and soldiers by the regimental
paymaster in his pay list. Hay will be received and issued
in trusses of 561 b. each ; straw in bundles of 361 b. each ;
and oats in sacks containing four bushels each, which will
be required to weigh not less than 381 b. per bushel. Ex-
perienced officers will be selected to perform the duty of
inspection under Horse Guards' Order, No. 881, and fur-
ther precautions will be taken for a more detailed exami-
nation of the forage before finally receiving it into store.
Forage once accepted will become Government property,
objections on the part of the troops will therefore be sub-
jected to a Board; but as the assembly of boards entails great
trouble and delay the troops should be careful not to put
forward complaints without due cause and such as they can
establish. Commanding officers will co-operate with the
officers of the commissariat with a view to prevent unnecos -
sary rejections and consequent loss to the public.

From last night and until further orders the gun-
at the camp at Aldershott will fire at 9 30 p.m. in-
stead of 8 30 as is usual at this period of the year.
This alteration, which is intended to counteract the
necessity for granting passes to the troops in the
number they have hitherto been isssued, is believed
to be at thesuggestion of the Commission which has
lately been sitting on recruiting in the army, and
will, it is confidently believed, give great satisfac-
tion to the non-commissioned officers and men. It
has hitherto been a great grievance for the cavalry
and artillery soldier who, engaged at stable duty
until seven o'clock, has had but a short hour to spend
out of the barracks. The stable hour has lately been
altered, and, with the extension of time allowed by
the gun firing an hour later, one of the complaints
of the cavalry soldier, has been done away with.
In consequence of a serious outbreak of cholera
having occurred in the suburb of Chatham, known
as the Brook, contiguous to the garrison, and seve-
ral deaths having been reported to the authorities a
supplemental divisional order was issued on Tuesday
night by Col. C. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., in tempo-
rary command of the district, forbidding any of the
troops to go near the infected neighbourhood. In
order, at the same tinie, to have the directions issued
implicitly observed, the neighbourhood is patrolled
day and night by pickets, and all intercourse, so far
as the military arc concerned, is suspended with the
infected district. On the recommendation of the
Sanitary Committee of the garrison, of which Col.
J. W. S. Smith, C. 8., is the president, an order was
yesterday given for the whole of the troops to be
provided with two cholera belts, which are to be is-
sued to them forthwith. With regard to the locality
in which the outbreak has occurred, the neighlour-
hood—which is largely occupied by married non-
commissioned officers and men of the Line regiments
and the Royal Marine Light Infantry, for whom no
barrack accommodation is provided—has long been
a standing reproach to the local authorities for its
defective drainage. Although the want of a
thorough system of drainage has been repeatedly
urged upon the Local Board of Health, both by the
inhabitants and the Government, nothing what-
ever has been done in the matter, and the opinion
is generally entertained that no steps will be taken
to improve the sanitary condition of Chatham until
compulsory powers are obtained by the Government
to compel the local officials to discharge this portion
of their duties.

Dr. Leonard, Inspector-Gen. of Contagious Dis-
eases, under the new Act, yesterday inspected some
houses in Cannon-row, near the Arsenal gates, and
various other localities in Woolwich, with a view of
obtaining, on behalf of the War Department, a
number of buildings tobe appropriated as temporary
hospitals. Dr. Stewart, medical officer to the R
division of the Metropolitan Police, and those of the
Royal A rsenal and Dockyard at Woolwich has
been appolnted medical officer to the establishment
at Woolwich.

Deputy-Assist. Superintendent of Military Stores
W. Peel, in Woolwich Arsenal, is under orders to
go through a course of instructions in the manu-
facturing departments in preparation to take charge
of the War Department stores to be forwarded to
the forthcoming National Exhibition in Paris, to
which he has been appointed.
Thee battery, 4t14 Brigade 13,0yal Artillery, from
New Zealand, having been granted the usual fur-
loughs to visit their friends, received their back pay
yesterday, and commenced taking their departure
from Woolwich. On the expiration of the furloughs
the battery will be reformed and horsed from the
depot, the whole of the horses, 178 in number, pur-
chased in Australia at £4O and £5O each, having
been sold at the Auction Mart in Auckland at prices
ranging from £5 to £l5 each.
The 2' st company of Royal Engineers will pro-
ceed from head-quarters, Bromptpn Barracks,

company has been inspected by Colonel C. L. A.
Simmons, C. 8., Director of the Royal Engineer
establishment.
Staff Assist.-Surg. W. Jay has been attached for
duty to the Bth depot battalion at Colchester.

Gen. Courtenay, transferred to Devonport. Two
officers and 57 men of the 16th Regiment are held
in readiness to embark for Barbadoes to join the

Commander E. Nares (Aug. 6, 1860), late of the
Coastguard service, who has been appointed to the
Reindeer, 7, 200 horse-power, fitting at Chatham,
for the Pacific, joined at Chatham yesterday, and
