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 aro admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. Tho 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 £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 ? Tho smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS arc earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Boy. D. UILBERT D.D., No. 22,

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now extending,
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom front pain, a specialitd rertalning only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

CHESTER RACES.-IVEDNESDAY.
TIIE CUP DAY.

The race for the Cup has been, since Delight's very
easy win in the City and Suburban, looked upon 13.,s a cer-
tainty for either Mr. Carew's horse or Redcap, who, on
the strength of a high private trial, came into betting for
this event almost at the time of Delight's victory. The
latter, after going through a knocking out and a bring-
ing again at Newmarket last week, has since been kept
firm in the betting, though after a demonstration last Fri-
day on the platform at Cambridge, en route from New-
market to town, Redcap,who had also fluctuated, took such
a decided lead that 3 to 1 could only be obtained about
him. From that time till tho flag fell the Marquis of
Hasting's horse has been supported for very large sums
by the influential stable to which ho belongs, as well as
by the general public, and the eagerness to get on him
brought him to his closing price of 7to 4. The drying
wind and sun has made the Roodee very hard, but no
material change occurred in the state of the odds, if we
except Dalby having at the last the call of the second
favourite Delight. Seventeen starters faced Mr.M'George
at the post, amid a crowd of people that almost defied the
efforts of the constables to clear the course, and after the
usual failures the lot got away, the Clown soon taking the
lead, witk Buckfoot making running for Dalby, and
Redcap and Delight lying well with their horses. Three-
quarters of a mile from home Dalby went to the front, at-
tended by Redcap, Delight at the same time running
through his horses and taking third place. But the race
was over from the moment Dalby assumed the command.
Vainly did Redcap make a game effort to reach him, but
the last year's winner went in easily four lengths in ad-
vance of the scarlet and white hoops, amid the groat
shouting of the ring. There were several casualties.
Baragah broke his leg, we regret to say, the first time
round; Saladin pulled his foot off; and Delight, who, if
he had won, or even been near it, would have been "the
coming horse" for the Derby, broke down. Full details
of the running will be found below.

DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning.

The result of the court martial upon Drum-Ma-
jor Butler, of the 2d (Queen's) Regiment, has been
promulgated in the presence of the garrison of Cork.
Butler was charged with being a member of the
Fenian Society, and with " mutinous conduct in
knowing that a rising of the troops in Cork was
meditated and not making the same known to the
commanding officer." He was pronounced guilty,
on both charges, and the sentence of penal servi-
tude for life was recorded against him ; but the
Commander-in-Chief, it is said, advised her Ma-
jesty to revise this sentence, as the evidence was
conflicting in its character. This was done, and he
was ordered to be degraded to the ranks. "It is
reported, says a correspondent of Saunders, " that
when the reversal of the sentence was read, many of
the soldiers on parade cheered ; but this I cannot
vouch for being accurate, as civilians were excluded
from the barrack square during the promulgation.
His stripes having been torn from his coat, he was
sent back to his regiment. He then applied to his
commanding officer for leave to wait on his solici-
tor, Mr. J. Collins, to thank him for his effective
defence, which was readily granted, and he imme-
diately proceeded to that gentleman's residence, and
acknowledged his gratitude in the most grateful
terms, instantly returning to barracks. It is
acknowledged by the authorities here that the court-
martial has had a most salutary effect in deterring
those who had been forgetful of their allegiance, and
protecting others from being made the dupes of
designing knaves. It is understood that the Ist
Royals and 2d Queen's will embark for foreign ser-
vice in the month of June next."

A court-martial sat to-day, in this city, for the
trial of gunner John Flood, of the Royal Artillery,
on the following charge For conduct to the
prejudice of good order and military discipline, in
having at Dublin, on or about the 18th of March,
1866, in a parade at Dublin formed to carry out the
sentence of his dismissal with ignominy, awarded to
him by a general court-martial, lifted his cap over
his head, and shouted out, 'Three cheers for the
Fenian Brotherhood—three cheers for the Irish
Republic,' or words to that effect ; and in passing
through the barrack gate shouted out, ' Three cheers
for the Irish Republic,' or words to that effect." The
prisoner was formerly tried and convicted on the
charge of having written a letter of a seditious cha-
racter to the Irish People newspaper. The prisoner
handed in a protest against the jurisdiction of the
court, on the ground that when he spoke the words
imputed to him he bad ceased to be a soldier within
the meaning of the Mutiny Act, " and was not
bound thereby so far as the same affects soldiers in
her Majesty's service." Evidence having been given
in support of the charge, the President asked Flood
if he wished to question the witnesses, when he
replied—" I respectfully decline to cross-examine
them for the reasons I have already given."
Capt. Baylay was then examined as to the general
character of the prisoner, which he stated to be very
bad. The record of the former conviction, for which
the prisoner was sentenced to dismissal from the
service and two years' imprisonment, was also
handed in. The court was then cleared, and the
members proceeded with the consideration of the
case. The result will not be known for some days.

Daniel Darran, the reputed Head Centre for
Ballycastle, has been lodged in gaol under the
Habeas Corpus Act. As two men were passing
along the river at Portadown, this week, they found
a leather bag hidden in the grass, containing about
150 newly-made bullets, three bullet-moulds, and a
quantity of shot.

Henry Griffith and Francis Long were brought
up yesterday at Capel-street Police-office, charged
with creating a disturbance at Grangegorman church
last Sunday. Mr. Murphy appeared to prosecute on
behalf of the Crown. Mr. Sidney, Q.C., defended
the prisoners. Superintendent Howe, Inspector
Armstrong, and the Rev. Mr. Maturic gave evi-
dence with regard to the conduct of those whe
created the disturbance in the church last Sunday,
and identified the prisoners as amongst the parties.
Mr. Stronge, the presiding magistrate, decided on
adjourning the case for a fortnight, trusting, in the
mean time, that a better feeling would arise, which
would prevent the recurrence of such scenes as those
complained of in a house of worship.
The shooting case in Thomas-street still remains
wrapped in mystery. At the head police-office Yes-
terday the two men charged with wounding Brophy
so severely were brought up on remand, when it
was stated by Inspector Kelly that Brophy, who is
weakl had refused to
still in hospital and extremely
