PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CIIILDREN,
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, 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 ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS aro earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT, D.D., No. 22,
Finsbury-circus, E.C.

(From a Second Supplement to the Landon Gazette of Friday,
Feb. 16—Monday, Feb. 19.)
At the Council Charnberfiiiihall, the 19th day
of February, 1866. By the Lords of her Majesty's
Most Honourable Privy Council. Present—Lord
President, Sir George Grey, Bart., Mr. Milner
Gibson, and Mr. Bruce :

Whereas by an act passed in the session of Par-
liament, held in the 11th and 12th years of her
Majesty's reign, entitled " An Act to prevent until
Ist day of September, 1850, and to the end of the
then session of Parliament, the spreading of conta-
gious or infectious disorders among sheep, cattle,
and other animals" (which act has since been ex-
tended and continued in force until the Ist day of
August, 1865, and to the end of the next session of
Parliament), after reciting that " a contagious or
infectious disorder known or described as the sheep-
pox or variola ovina, now pravails among the sheep
in some parts of the United Kingdom, and it is ne-
cessary to take measures to prevent such disorder
from spreading," it was and is enacted (among other
things) as follows, namely : "In case any sheep or
lambs infected with or labouring under the said
disorder, or any disorder of the like nature, be ex-
posed or offered for sale, or be brought or attempted
to be brought for the purpose of being so exposed or
offered for sale, in any market, fair, or other open
or public place where other animals are commonly
exposed for sale, then and in any such case it shall
be lawful for any clerk or inspector or other officer
of such fair or market, or for any constable or
policeman, or for any other person authorised by
the mayor, or by any two justices of the peace
having jurisdiction in the place, or for any person
authorised or appointed by her Majesty in
Council to seize the same, and to report such
seizure to the mayor or any justice of the
peace having jurisdiction in the place, and it shall
be lawful for such mayor or justice either to restore
the same, or to cause the same, together with any
pens, hurdles, troughs, litter, hay, straw, or other
articles which he may judge likely to have been in-
fected thereby, to be forthwith destroyed or other-
wise disposed of in such manner as he shall deem
proper, or as may be directed in manner hereinafter
provided ; and any person bringing or attempting
to bring any sheep, lambs, oxen, bulls, cows, calves,
or other horned cattle, into any such market, fair,
or. open or public place as aforesaid; knowing such
sheep, lambs, or cattle to be infected with or labour-
ing under either of such disorders as aforesaid, shall,
upon conviction thereof, forfeit and pay for each
and every such offence a sum not exceeding twenty
pounds."
And, whereas, in and by the said act, it was and
is further enacted as follows,—that is to say :
" If any person turn out, keep, or depasture any
sheep or lambs infected with or labouring under the
said disorder, in or upon any forest, chase, wood,
moor, marsh, heath, common, waste land, open
field, road side, or other undivided or unenclosed
land, such person shall, on conviction thereof, forfeit
and pay any sum not exceeding twenty pounds."
And whereas, in and by the said act, it was and is
further enacted (for the more effectually preventing
the spreading of contagious or infectious disease) as
follows,—that is to say :
" It shall be lawful for the Lords and others of
her Majesty's Privy Council, or any two or more of
them, from time to time to make such orders and
regulations as to them may seem necessary for the
purpose of prohibiting or regulating the removal to
or from such parts or places as they may designate
in such order or orders of sheep, cattle, horses,
swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides,
horns, hoofs, or other parts of any animals, or of
hay, straw, fodder, or other articles likely to propa-
gate infection ; and also for the purpose of purify-
ing any yard, stable, outhouse, or other place, or
any waggons, carts, carriages, or other vehicles ; and
also for the purpose of directing how any animals
dying in a diseased state, or any animals, parts of
animals, or other things seized under the provisions
of this Act, are to be disposed of ; and also for the
purpose of causing notices to be given of the appear-
ance of any disorder among sheep, cattle, or other
animals, and to make any other orders or regula-
tions for the purpose of giving effect to the provi-
sions of this Act, and again to revoke, alter, or vary
any such orders or regulations ; and all provisions
for any of the purposes aforesaid, in any such order
or orders contained, shall have the like force and
effect as if the same had been inserted in this Act ;
and all persons offending against the same shall for
each and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not
exceeding £2O, or such smaller sum as the said
Lords or others of her Majesty's Privy Council may
in any case by such order direct ;"
And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder,
known or described as the sheep pox, or variola
ovina, now prevails among the sheep, in a certain
part of the United Kingdom, and it is expedient to
take measures for preventing such disorder from
spreading; _ _ _

Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy
Council do hereby, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers so vested in them as aforesaid, make and
ordain the several orders and regulations following
—that is to say :

I. It shall not be lawful for any person to remove
any sheep or lambs to or from the parish of Long
Buckby, in the county of Northampton, or to drive
or conduct any sheep or lambs through or by way
of such parish, unless the person so removing, driv-
ing, or conducting such sheep or lambs shall first
have obtained a certificate, in writing, signed by
some person who may have been authorised, by two
or more justices of the said county of Northampton,
to seize sheep or lambs infected with or labouring
under the said disorder, under the Ist section of the
said Act, that such removal, driving, or conducting
may take place without danger of spreading the
said disease.

ll.—All sheep and lambs dying in any stages of
the said disease, wheresover such death or deaths
shall or may occur, shall forthwith be buried by the
person or persons in whose possession such sheep
of death, with their
sft. in depth, and
bleaencovered with quick-
lime.

111. All sheds and plates whatsoever, and allrail-
way trucks and other vehicles which may or shall
have been used or occupied by sheep or lambs affected
by the said disease, shall forthwith, after having
been so used, be thoroughly cleansed with water,
and immediately afterwards purified with chloride
of lime by person or persons in possession of such
sheds, places, trucks, and vehicles respectively.
IV. Every person in possession of any sheep or
