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 OT tinder railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager &e.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
tre, for want accommodation, refused admittance, andhave
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 boon 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 behalft:
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT ;D.D.A/sTo. 22,

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

NOBTH DEVON.

In consequence of the acceptance of the office
of President of the Board of Trade by the
Right Honourable Sir Stafford Northcote, Bart.,
a vacancy' occurred in the' representation of the
northern division of the county of Devon. The
election took place at South blolton on Saturday'
The high sheriff (Sir J. Kennaway) was absent from
indisposition, and the proceedings of the election
were therefore directed by the under sheriff. After
the preliminaries had been gone through,
Sir G. STUCLEY, Bart., M.P., proposed Sir Staf-
ford Torthcote for re-election, and Mr. Kennaway
seconded the nomination. No other candidate ap-
peared, and the right hon. but. was declared duly
elected.

Sir S. NORTIICOTE—I am anxious to take this op-
portunity of expressing my earnest, hearty, and
affectionate thanks to those who compose the con-
stituency of this great division of my own county,
not only for their kindness on the present occasion,

difficult of explanation to those not well acquainted
with the principle on which local assessments are

the
Government were quite right in not regarding the
aboundiage Government
towhich

n g
division as one merely on
a point of detail, because,
taken in conjunction with the
had
been used in the House of Commons, and having
regard to the meaning intended to be expressed, the
House of Commons had with a sufficient degree of
clearness expressed theirdislike of the bill as it stood.
That vote must not be taken as an expression of aver-
sion to a reform bill, but as showing that the measure
before the House of Commons was not satisfactory.
It was not merely the members of the Conservative
party who gave their votes against it ; a consider-
able number of those who were general supporters
of the Government then existing did the same,
and the Government might thus have known that
after the divisions that had been taken place it was
useless and hopeless to proceed with the bill.
Whether or not it was the duty of the Government
to resign is another question. Perhaps the neces-
sity was brought on them by the tone they had
taken and the language they had used. On this
point they were bound to consider their own honour,
and it is not for me to say whether they were right or
wrong in the conclusion to which they came. The
result has showed that they felt bound to resign
office, and consequently the conduct of affairs was
offered, in the ordinary course 'of things, to the
leader of that party which had taken the principal
part in defeating the ineasuro on which the Govern-
ment had thought fit to stake their existence. It
has been said that the Conservative Government
seeks for an indulgence and a consideration to
which it is not entitled, and that, especially as office
has been thrust upon them, they are entitled to
these. For my part, I disclaim any such in-
tention or idea. I say - that we are entitled
to fair, play, but I do not ask for favour or indul-
gence, or anything more than fair play. (Hear.) It
is the duty of every party which opposes a measure
on which the existence of a Government has been
staked to consider what may be the consequences,
and it is their duty, if need be, to take the places of
those whom they overthrow.. Otherwise you turn
Government by party into Government by faction,
and you destroy the legitimate functions of an op-
position. (Hear.) 'Therefore I say it was the duty
of Lord Derby to take the place of the Government
which was overthrown mainly by the Conservative
