lish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without
the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly de-
pendent for support on voluntary contributions and I _facies .

addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a cen3iderable period averaged between
3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
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, refusedadmittance, 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 be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT, D.D., No. 22,
Finsbury-circus, B.C.

Railway and other Companies.

GREAT NORTHERN.

The report of the directors states that the total
capital of the company now amounted to
£16,041,900, including that of the Leeds, Brad-
ford, and Halifax, and of the West Yorkshire Rail-
way Companies, pursuant to the amalgamation acts
of last session. The works on the lines in course of
construction between Doncaster and Gainsborough,
March and Spalding, and Lincoln and Honington
were progressing steadily, and the gradients on the
loop line were also being improved. It was expected
that the whole of those works would be completed
in the course of the year, and the Great Eastern
district would then be connected with the north by
a direct and nearly level line from March to Don-
caster. The connection between the Metropolitan
and the London, Chatham, and Dover Railways at
Farringdon-street was completed and opened for
traffic on Ist Jan. last. Through booking arrange-
ments for passengers between the Chatham Com-
pany's system and the Great Northern were now in
force, and goods and coal traffic would be commenced
next month. The Hatfield and St. Alban's branch,
six miles in length, was opened for traffic in Octo-
ber last. The high rate of interest for money had
retarded issue of the company's 4 per cent. deben-
ture stock; £41,482 had been received on that ac-
count during the half. year. The revenue account
for the half-year ending Dec. 31 showed that the
gross receipts amounted to £1,045,371, and for the
same half of 1864 to £970,578, showing an increase
of £74,793. The gross expenditure amounted to
£513,854, against £478,345 in the corresponding
half of 1864, showing an increase of £35,509. The
total net revenue amounted to £552,037, against
£506,158, showing an increase of £45,879. After
deducting from net revenue the fixed charges, in-
cluding interest, and preference dividends amount-
ing to £254,347, there remained £297,690 for ordi-
nary dividend, yielding on the Great Northern
original stock a dividend at the rate of £8 15s. per
cent. per annum, or £4 7s. 6d. per cent. for the
half-year, on the B stock £3 per cent. for the half-
year, and on the A. stock £5 15s per cent. for the
half-year, leaving a balance of £323. The increase
in the coaching traffic was £27,725, in the goods
traffic £27,517, and in the minerals £21,792. The
relaying of the line with heavier rails and chains
and more numerous sleepers was being carried
on. A bill had been deposited for vesting the Great
Northern loop line in the Great Northern and Great
Eastern Companies jointly and equally, and for
powers to construct a new line to shorten the com-
munication between Spalding and Lincoln; the
length would be nearly 29 miles, and the capital
£360,000, to be provided equally between the two
companies. A bill had been deposited to give effect
to the agreement entered into last year between the
Great Northern, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln-
shire, and West Riding and Grimsby Companies,
for the transfer of the West Riding undertaking to
the two former companies; the portion of the West
Riding Company's line between Doncaster and
Wakefield was opened on the Ist instant ; also a
bill to vest the Liverpool Central Station Railway
and the new line from Manchester to Liverpool in
the Great Northern, Midland, and Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Companies on equal
terms in all respects. The report of Mr. Sturrock,
the locomotive engineer, stated that 4,123,837 train
miles had been run during the half year at a cost of
£205,199, or 11.91 d. per mile against 3,805,685
miles at an expense of. £182,647, or 11.51 d. per mile
in 1864, or an excess train mileage of 318,152 miles
had been worked at a charge of £22,552.
