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
sre, 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 5.1,000 more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is pror.esed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor tamilies
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. 11. GanratT,;D.D., No. 2,

A WRITING TELEGRAPIL—A young emp/oyg of
the Central Telegraph Office in Paris has invented a'new
instrument said to be capable of transcribing every species
of writing and drawing ; but instead of, as in the systems
of Bonellia and Caselli, using chemically-prepared paper,
he simply employs a wide strip or ribbon of the most ordi-
nary paper, on which the despatch is printed in printing
ink of any colour —blue, red, or any other colour. The
great drawback to this invention is that it only pretends to
transmit fac-similes, 5 centimetres (F 96 inch) broad, the
width of the tape ; but in compensation for this fault it is
stated that the length of the band is unlimited, and the
apparatus can transmit 40 messages per hour. The trans-
mitting instrument consists of a cylinder, 4.78 in. long,
and 1.6 in. in circutuference, round which is wrapped the
despatch to be sent, written in ordinary characters upon
tinned paper. The message, in turning round the cylinder,
presses against a point which traverses it in the direction
of its length. The receiving apparatus is composed of an
endless screw, lft. Gin. long, the thread of which, making
rather less than ono revolution, rubs against an inked
roller, and turns round above a band of white paper, which
unrolls with the same velocity as the point travels at the
despatching apparatus. Both instruments work by means
of weight, the movement being, as in other apparatus of
this nature controlled by electricity, isochronism being in-
dispensable between the movement of the point and the
turning of the endless screw. When the current passes,
an eloctro-magnet holds the paper at a distance from the
screw ; but when the current is intercepted, in conse-
quence of the point having touched the non-conducting
against the spiral
to the part of the
inkse screw,

TlMES.—Nobody has any reason to be surprised
, if an orator who makes so many speeches as Mr.
Bright does should become a very decided man-
, nerist. A little while ago he went further and ran
• some risk of losing his hold, if not on the hearers, at
any rate on the readers of his speeches by tedious
repetitions. These repetitions some of his admirers
pronounced to be the very highest strain of art ; but
Mr. Bright showed himself wiser than they, and
has submitted to the labour of preparing a new
speech for each new occasion. We rank his oration
on the wrongs of Ireland delivered by him in Dublin
as among the happiest of his recent efforts ; the
theme was eminently congenial to him, and the very
nature of the subject lent itself to that mannerism
which is to him almost inevitable. The uniform
method with which Mr. Bright treats a subject is
first to state a grievance and then to propose a re-
medy. Heis very powerful in expounding the
wrongs and miseries of mankind, and able, as we
have recently seen, to make a fair show of wretched-
ness out of what appears to less penetrating eyes a
very tolerable amount of happiness and prosperity.
The weak point in Mr. Bright's speeches is generally
to be looked for in the want of connexion between
the wrong and the remedy. Although he states and
exaggerates existing evils, he very seldom gives us
any clue to the causes which have created them ;
and thus it happens that for want of investigating
the real nature of the disorder, the remedy has very
-•-little to do with the disease: His plan seems t 6 be
to assume that almost all evils are preventible by
legislation, and, consequently, that if anything goes
wrong the existing Legislature is in fault,—the in-
ference being that it ought, therefore, to be swept
away and replaced by another Legislature which will
make things go better. The business of the states-
man would be easy indeed did the complicated pro-
blems with which he has to deal submit themselves
to so easy and superficial an analysis. If because
two things co-exist we might always infer that
one was caused by the other, there is no limit
that can be fixed to the progress of our knowledge.
But, though arguments founded on such a sup-
position may appear valid to large masses of men
carried away by the eloquence of a practised speaker,
those on whom the responsibility of acting and
thinking for others really devolves know well that
things cannot be dealt with in this offhand manner,
It is the tendency of all Mr. Bright's speeches to
represent the redress of all grievances as easy—as
wanting nothing, in fact, for its accomplishment but
hearty goodwill. It is the tendency of all practical
investigation to show that evils continue to exist
because Governments and Legislatures are impo-
tent to prevent them. Mr. Bright pitches upon two
causes for the condition of Ireland, for the discon-
tent which pervades her society, her emigration, for
her poverty—the Established Church and the tenure
of land. The Established Church is a relic of a
state of things which in other respects has happily
passed away—of the absolute domination of one
sect and the abject subjugation of another. But
has Mr. Bright shown that, supposing the Esta-
blished Church were abolished to-morrow, its abo-
lition would heal any one of the evils with which
Ireland is afflicted ? Would it stay- emigration ?
Would it heal the discord between the two internal
factions by which Ireland is torn? Is it really de-
sired by Ireland with any feeling at all approaching
unanimity ? Has it been, or can it be, said now to
be, a principal cause of Irish misery and poverty ?
There would be justice, there might be expediency,
in abolishing the Church of a minority supported
by a uniform charge upon land. But does any one
believe that such a measure, whatever be its merits,
would really have any important effect on Irish
prosperity ? Before we accept such a remedy as
efficient, we ought to be told, not what has been the
past history of Ireland, but what is her present
condition ; not what made her miserable in times
past, but what makes her poor and discontented
now. True to his method of attributing everything
to bad legislation, Mr. Bright proceeds to trace
whatever misery is not accounted for by the
Established Church to bad laws as regards land.
What are these bad laws? The first is that the
landlord, or owner of the land, is allowed to
make what contract he pleases with regard to the
letting it. In other words, that land in Ireland is
treated precisely in the same manner as land in
Scotland, England, and America, and as every other
kind of property the owner of which is at liberty to
let it exactly as he pleases. This is the first great
grievance of Ireland. The second is that the nation
is dispossessed of the soil, and this is stated to he
the result of bad laws—of the law of primogeniture,
for instance, which never operates on any large es-
tate. In this respect, also, the law of Ireland is
similar to the law of England and Scotland ; and
that law, the object of which is said to be to accu-
mulate land in few hands, is simply this—that the
owner of land may sell, mortgage, divide, devise by
will, and settle his land, just as he can his stock iii
the funds, for a life and lives in being and twenty-
one years afterwards. The fault of the law is sim-
ply that it leaves the proprietor as free to deal with
his land as with any other property ; that it lays
down no rule at all, except the limitation in point
of time which we have stated. The remedy pro-
posed is that the liberty of individuals should be
curtailed, and some arbitrary inflexible rule substi-
tuted for the present free power of disposition en-
joyed by every citizen. To Mr. Bright this may
appear a progressive policy ; to us it appears to have
a decided retrograde tendency. The free right.to
contract lies at the bottom of all individual and na-
tional prosperity, and the man who invades this
may be a leveller, but is not a Liberal. The same
may be said with regard to the complaint against
absenteeism, and of the accumulation of large pro-
perties in few hands. These things are the result
of unrestricted personal liberty, of acquisitions by
the provident and of alienations by the reckless,
and • the cry that is raised against them in the
name of Liberalism is really a cry for the
restriction of the rights now enjoyed by the
individual citizen, and for pushing the dictation
of the State into the management of every man's
private affairs. The tendency of liberty is towards
inequality, and it naturally follows that those who
wish to create equality can only do so by striking
a series of deadly blows against liberty itself.
Mr. Bright is displeased with the extent of the
estates enjoyed by some of the nobility in
Ireland, and he thinks they would be much better
in the hands of small proprietors. He therefore pro-
poses to create a Government agency for the purpose
of compulsorily buying up these estates and re-
selling them in small allotments. It is not worth
while to dwell on the shock to public credit and the
security of private property which is implied in such
a transaction. It is but a small step from compul-
sor'y sale to compulsory expropriation, and the. power
which would deprive a man against his will of his
estates would soon learn to appropriate the proceeds.
But, supposing all this done, would Ireland be
better off than she is now ? That depends upon
the real cause of her poverty, and that cause is
undoubtedly her over population. Her moist and
variable climate does not permit her to support in
comfort by cereal crops, or by the precarious resource
of the potato, the number of her present inhabi-
tants; and yet Ireland is still one of the most thickly
peopled countries in the world. To divide her soil,
as is proposed, among small freeholders would be
to stimulate the very evil from which she is emerg-
ing—the reliance of a redundant population on
precarious crops. There is no hope of prosperity
for Ireland until her population is reclined to the
amount that she can fairly support, and every at-
tempt to prevent this reduction only tends to ag-
gravate her misery and retard its cure. The Reformed
Parliament which should adopt the suggestions of
Mr. Bright would give a signal :specimen of its in-
capacity, and add another proof that legislation
restrictive of individual liberty, though powerless
to arrest, is very potent to increase the calamities
of nations.

HERALD.—The curtain has fallen upon the tragedy
of Mount Ida. For the last three months a terrible
struggle has been going on between the Christians
in Crete and their Turkish masters. We have paid
but little attention to it, and now it is over. Europe
has been too much occupied with her own affairs to
think much of this desperate attempt at self-asser-
tion on the part of an unfortunate community
which, 40 years ago, when Greece gained her inde-
pendence was left out in the cold. What with wars
and revolutions' in Germany, discontent in France,
domestic agitation in England, and for Russia her
organic reforms and Asiatic conquests, the minds
of men have been so far engrossed with weightier
matters that scarcely a thought has been given, a
word spoken on a crisis which a
was at l in all
rtanceto the
Candiotes; and a matter of as grempo
to the continental Greeks as the supremacy m
Germany to Prussia or the acquisition of Venice
to Italy. And yet doubtless in this insurrection,
which may now be considered to be suppressed, there
have been heroic deeds which might have fired the
imagination of the poet, brilliant episodes which
might have gilded the page of the historian, had
only the poet heard of them, the historian witnessed
them. These achievements have been done in dark-
ness, and unknown to the world. There is no one
but the Cretan widow to honour the memory of the
