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, 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 !amines
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 feed 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, E.C.

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 ex, ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tiveys has granted her royal letters
sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialitd uertaining only to our prac-
ptiactee,nt andlio,hriws
shyicshtehmeremMbairaesee the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the support.ng 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
chat the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, us' ural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,

Refoi in Demonstration at Liverpool.
LIVERPOOL, Friday Night.
The Liverpool Liberal Association held a meeting
this evening, iu the Amphitheatre, in support of the
Government Reform Bill. Mr. J. C. E wart took
the chair at 7 o'clock, but long before that hour
every part of the capacious building was densely
crowded, in consequence of it having been an-
nounced that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had
promised to take part in the proceedings.
Mr. Gladstone, on entering the platform, was re-
ceived with several rounds of cheering ; and Mrs.
Gladstone, who occupied a seat in one of the stage
boxes, was also warmly received.
The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings,
remarking that the progress of the people of Eng-
land since 1832 fully dispelled the apprehension of
those who believed that the reduction of the fran-
chise would lead to anarchy and confusion. Let
them, therefore, have confidence in the Government,
and especially in their distinguished representative,
Mr. Gladstone, who had always shown himself the
friend of the people, and he trusted that the result
of the meeting would prove that they would be
satisfied with nothing less than the measure of
Reform proposed by her Majesty's Ministers.
(Cheers.)
Mr. S. J. RATHBONE moved the following resolu-
tion :—"That this meeting agrees that the bill to
extend the right of voting at elections for members
of Parliament in England and Wales proposed by
her Majesty's Government, and now before the
House of Commons, deserves general and hearty
support, as an honest and practical proposal towards
an amendment of the laws relating to the represen-
tation of the people." (Cheers.) He should be
strongly in favour of the bill, which he believed
wa,3 a thoroughly honest measure proposed by a
thoroughly honest Government ; and when they
told them that they thought it best to deal with
the subject in• their measures, they ought to be-
lieve and have confidence in them, for it was quite
possible that one bill would be too complicated
and cumbrous to pass either House of Parliament.
In Lancashire they were not so green as to refuse
half a loaf because they could not have a whole one,
more especially as they must know that they had
only to eat the first half of the loaf to get the other
eventually. In conclusion, we would only express
an earnest wish that Mr. Gladstone would long con-
tinue to lead the Reformers in the House of Com-
mons with so much honour to himself and so much
benefit to the country. (Cheers.)
Mr. J. R. JEFFREY seconded.the resolution, ob-
serving that in 1832 the middle classes owed a great
debt to the working men of the country, who were
ready to use their physical might to obtain for them
the political rights withheld from them by fraud and
violence. Now when all things were calm and quiet,
they were bound to repay the debt, and give the
working classes that share of political rights which
they had so fairly and so hardly earned for them-
selves. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. GLADSTONE then rose to address the meeting,
and was received with great cheering, again and
again renewed. He said—Mr. Chairman and
Gentlemen, the resolution which has been read from
the chair is a resolution in support of the Reform
Bill introduced by her Majesty's Government, and
under these circumstances I hope it is not unnatural
either that I should be called upon, or that being
called upon I should obey the call, to support that
resolution. (Cheers.) The bill which is now before
the House of Commons has two objects in view.
One of them is the improvement of the composition
of that house, the other is quite apart from or be-
yond the improvement of composition of .the house
—to strengthen the House of Commons itself, and
along with the House _of Commons every other in-
stitution of the country, by marshalling a large
?actor Of ilieTpeop e iiMitil4s-oreth
those institutions by a direct share iu political
enfranchisement. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen,
with reference to the condition of the House of
Commons, one method in which you may im-
prove that constitution is, I may venture to say,
by sending back among us my respected friend
who sits in the chair. (Cheers. That is not
the only nor the widest improvement which I
anticipate in its constitution ; but I entirely decline
to stake the fortunes of the bill upon any supposed
necessity of bringing, in the first instance, an in-
dictment against the Parliament as it now stands.
That, gentlemen, is one of the errors committed by
the opponents of the bill. They seem to think that
enfranchisement of the people is an evil in itself so
great that it ought never to be encountered except
for the sake of curing some greater evil ; and with
that view they not unnaturally say that, in order to
prove that we are to run in the face of all the terri-
fic danger which must arisefrom admitting a further
portion of the English nation to share in the go-
vernment of the country, and in order to make good
your case, the proof of it is that the present House
of Commons is bad and insufficient. Gentlemen,
you can make no such proof. The present House of
Commons, though I think its constitution may be
improved, has for the last 35 years, and before the
Reform Act, too, done a great and a good work for
the country ; but that is no reason why we should
not seek the enlargement of the constituencies of the
country. How, gentlemen, could any private per-
son treat a question affecting his own interests ?
Suppose a merchant has a flourishing business with
all its arrangements complete, and suppose an open-
ing is made evident to him that by some increased
outlay and venture he may, in perfect consonance
with the rules of prudence, make a more increased
profit on his industry and capital ; does that mer-
chant require to be shown that his business already
is a bad one ? No, certainly not ; but he says I will
make it as good as I can. Does a landowner with an
estate of £lOOO a year, who finds that by increased
capital and draining the ground he can make that
estate worth £2,000 a year; does he require to have
it shown to him that his estate is worthless, and his
£l,OOO a year not worth having, before he desires
that improvement ? No, certainly not. (Cheers.) In
the same way, we believe the Parliament of England
to be good ; but we wish to make it better, not alone
by any change within its own walls, but by strength-
ening it from without in considerable additions of
that native and essential vigour which all wisely-
framed institutions cannot fail to draw from addi-
tional infusion of popular strength. This is the prin-
ciple, this is the basis on which we wish to approach
the question. My friend who last addressed you re-
ferred to the objection, which, as far as I know, is
the only plausible objection made against the prin-
ciple of the present bill—that is, that it is an in-
complete measure. Why, the persons who refuse to•
be content with anything less than the whole bill
are the very same persons who heartily detest the
very part which we have presented them. (Cheers.)
This is the secret of the outcry which you now hear.
We have promised to make known the views which
we entertain on the subject—a subject which must
excite great interests in general, and especially in
Liverpool—viz., that of the redistribution of seats ;
but knowing those with whom we have to deal, we
have said before we produce this portion of our
plans—before we put into the hands of opponents
fresh means of obstruction by using one portion of
the plan to make obstacles against the other—be-
fore we do this we say, Give us a pledge of your
general intentions by uttering your voices in favour
of the second reading of the bill. (Cheers.) It is
true, as has been said by Mr. Jeffrey, in our judg-
ment this is the great question—the first question,
the cardinal question—who are to form the consti-
tuencies. When we are well agreed upon that sub-
ject—who are to form the constituencies—the other
difficulties involved in the case will be found to be
of a slight and manageable character. It is not
with you, who are friends to the bill, that we shall
quarrel when we come to discuss the subject of the
, redistribution of seats. But the rediqtribution of
