The mode of admission to the House is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, clothed. educated, and taught till
they are 11 years o age.
With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving
cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas-
sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers.
The voting papers contain a description co each case, as care-
fully investigated by the Committee, ank, with 1.149 informa-
tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to
those most eligible for free admission.
This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to
take tra the little ones whose character and circumstances
disqualify then for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender
age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are tir,se
who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are
those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and
left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose
parents may have at one time or other received parish retief,
and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose
parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who
train their children in the same path. Such are those whose
evil associations have already had their painful effect, and
must lead them to a life of crime and misery.
There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of
age to 10. There is room for nearly 10W, and the Committee
would joy fully see the Home filled at once; they only wait
for the necessary subscriptions.
The Committee feel constrained to p'ead for those who
cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir-
cumstances of some who haste been already admitted, they
ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
lite because one of them (the naughty boy of the tam ly) runs
wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to
tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not
h 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must
ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the beet we can for the
little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it
doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when
these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into
the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to " JUR away,"
none of us show d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly
word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th• m ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, Passing by on the
other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's
keeper ?"
The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi-
dent from the police statis• ics, which show that in London
alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of
aue, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom
were convicted mid punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis-
charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too
young to punish. though not too young to learn thebeginnings
of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but
for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must
otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli-
ance and sell-help, be permanent burdens to the State
he Home for Little Boys has, therefore. been established
to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the
one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour
to make them useful members of society.

The daily routine of the ins Itution present• all the fea-
tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones
are cared for as children; they have their regular meals,
th.-dr suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement,
and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every
morning is devoted to school work—reading, and writing,
and cipherinz, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional
lessons in o} jests and other subjects. But they are also
trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early
period in lite, earn their living by the sweat of their brow,
they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after-
noons are occupied with various industrial occupations--
making brown paper bags for bankers, and white; aper bags
for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any
who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending
the c other, &c. Some assist, the master in the garden,
pisuting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By
degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing
and sweeping, while the elder ones (lean all the boots,
knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active
working life.

time as soon as approved by tl:e Committee,

frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will
admit, till the Home is full; they will then be held period:-

THE GALES.

--

The violent storm of wind which broke out on
Sunday night continued with brief intervals through-
out the whole of yesterday. In the morning the
wind, which blew chiefly from S.S.W., was accom-
panied by a heavy fall of rain, and there were occa-
sional showers throughout the day. There has been
a -number of alarming accidents. About midday the
roof of 198, Fleet-street, occupied by Mr. Thearle,
jeweller, near Temple-bar, was blown off and fell
into the crowded street with a fearful crash. There
were hundreds of persons passing at the time and
many cabs close by, but happily no one was injured.
The roof belonged to an old house, and slanted to-
wards the street. The footpath was soon cleared. One
fatal accident which occurred yesterday morning is
attributed to the wind. Shortly after 6 o'clock a man,
apparently about 40 years of age, and at present un-
known, entered the yard belonging to the City Gas
Works, and made his way to the factory. He there
approached one of the stokers, named Baker, and
inquired of him the way to the docks to get to the
barges. Baker replied, " Straight ahead, mate," in
which direction the stranger went. Shortly after this
Lane, another stoker employed in the works, heard
a loud splashing in the water, and on proceeding
thither he saw the unfortunate man struggling for
his life. Lane immediately returned to the factory
to obtain a " backing rake" with which to endeavour
to extricate the poor fellow, but was too late. The
drags were then procured, and after searching for
about three-quarters of an hour the lifeless body
was brought to the surface. It appears that the de-
ceased had to make his way down a ladder to get on
to the barges, and in his descent he must either
have slipped or have been blown (the wind being
very high at the time) into the water. The body was
removed to the Grapes Tavern, and thence to St.
Bride's deadhouse. It is presumed that the deceased
was in search of employment, which would account
for his desire to reach the barges, where he thought
of seeing the foreman.

Wo oLwicn, Monday.

The gale was felt very severely at the new Her-
bert Hospital, on Kidbrook-common, to-day.
About 3 o'clock two stacks of chimneys were blown
down at the west end of the buildings. They fell
with a tremendous crash into the ward below in G-
pavilion, and destroyed the whole of the roof.
Fortunately, the ward was temporaiily used only
as a store. No lives were lost. had the accident
occurred a few days later a sacrifice of life would
have been inevitable, as it was destined to be occu-
pied by invalids. The damage is calculated at pre-
sent at more than £6OO. The iron fencing at the
west end of the premises was also shattered and
thrown from its perpendicular, so much that the
authorities considered it necessary to take precau-
tions against injury to the public passing in the
adjoining highway.
CHATHAM, Monday Evening.
A steady fall in the barometer during the whole of
last night gave indications of the approach of another
gale, and during the whole day it has been blowing
with the greatest violence from the westward, with
occasional heavy showers. The vessels in harbour
have taken every precaution to prevent casualties,.
and the ships of war have each an additional anchor
down. A numerous fleet of colliers, barges, and other
vessels are lying at shelter in the Swale, and near
the entrance to the river, awaiting the gale moderat-
ing before proceeding to sea. Apprehensions were
entertained for the safety of H.M.S. Medusa, Mas-
ter Commander T. Potter, which left this port on
Saturday with between 200 and 300 boys on board,
as it was feared she had encountered the whole fury
of the gale in the Channel. A telegram received yes-
terday, however, announced that she had reached her
destination in safety. Throughout the day nearly all
communication between the shore and the flagship
Formidable, 84, the Cumberland, 70, and the other
vessels of war near the entrance to the river, was
suspended, and the warning flag kept hoisted. This
afternoon the barometer had fallen as low as 28.85,
but towards:dusk it gave indications of rising, the
force of the gale having in the meantime moderated.
YARMOUTH, ISLE OF WIGHT, Sunday.

A terrific gale of wind and rain burst over this
locality this morning. From 2 to 7 o'clock it blew a
perfect hurricane. At 1 o'clock the Coastguards of
Totla,nd Bay towed into this harbour the smack
Freedom, bound from Plymouth to Portsmouth,
laden with deals. She was caught in the gale when
off the Needles, at half-past 4, and turned completely
over. Of the two men on board one was washed
away. The master, Capt. Knight, was washed off
three times, but at last saved by lashing himself to
the vessel, the sea rolling in dreadful billows over
him. When brought ashore he was very ill. He is
at present under the care of Mr. Long, Lloyd's agent
there. The vessel bears terrible evidence of the fury
of the storm. Her mast is snapped short off, her
bulwarks smashed, her decked bulged, and her gear
hanging in tatters by her side. When nearing the ship
the Coastguard's lifeboat was swept right over her
by the force of the waves. The cargo, excepting
ten tons of the deals on her deck, is saved.
LIVERPOOL', Monday.

During the whole of this day one of the severest
gales that has been experienced for a long time past
blew over Liverpool. The following observations
were registered by Mr. Heartnup, at the Liverpool
Observatory :—Rain began to fall heavily at mid-
night with the wind S-E. by E., and continued
until 3.30 a.m., when the rain ceased, and the wind
veered to W.S.W. The wind then began to rise,
and at the same time the barometer fell rapidly.
The reading at 7 a.m. was the lowest-28.89. At
the same time the wind changed to due west, and
rose to a heavy gale. Between 7 and 8 o'clock the
average pressure was over 251 b. on the square foot,
occasionally rising to slightly over 301 b. After 8
o'clock the barometer began to rise slowly, and the
wind to moderate. Again, at half7past 11, and be-
tween I and 2, the pressure rose to 251 b. to 281 b. A
few weeks ago, during a short squall, a pressure of
321 b. was registered ; but so continuously severe a
gale:is rare. A 3 p.m. the barometer read 29.08 deg.
and was still slowly rising. During the more
severe portion of the gale it was ebb tide in the Me-
rsey ; but as the tide rose the river was fearfully
rough. The fine American ship J. F. Foster broke
from her moorings in the river during the morning,
and drove ashore in Bootle-bay. She was, how-
ever, towed off again without much damage. Seve-

ral severe casualties are reported, and it is feared
that others will be heard of. The American ship
Guy Mannering is reported lost on lona, and it is
feared that at least 16 of her crew have perished.
Capt. Neilson, of the ship Triton, has brought into
port the crew of the ship Tigress, from the West
Indies to Hull, 19 in number, whom he took from
the Tigress, which he found disabled on the 23d ult.
on his voyage to this port.
Hum Monday.

A gale of almost unprecedented violence swept
over Hull on Sunday night, which continued with
unabated fury till about Monday at noon. The
storm, which came from the west, was at its height
about half-past 9 o'clock on Monday morning.' At
that hour a building in course of erection for Mr.
Collison, ceachbnilder, was, blown down. At the
brick of this building there was a court in Temper-
ance-street, named Emma-place, containing ten
houses, and the .rdbb4h from the falling building
was thrown down upon those on the western aide
of the court, crushing them to their foundations.
Two houses in Temperance-street were also knocked
down. Two `siii4ll-tenements were crushed so sud-
denly and so cofupletely that none of their inmates
hied the time or opportunity to escape into the
street, and most of them were buried alive beneath
the ruins., Information of the catastrophe was at
once conveyed to the central police-station, Parlia-
ment-street, and a large body of constables, under
the direction of Inspector Dorser, were sent to the
place. Picks and shovels were soon procured, and
the policemen, as well as a large staff of workmen
from the North-Eastern Railway station, set to work
to extricate the killed and wounded from the ruins.
The house immediately behind the new building, in
Terperance-street, was occupied by a tailor named
Newmarch, his wife, and two children—a son and
daughter. At the time of the accident the family were
in the basement story into which the bricks, mortar,
and rubbish fell. The father, seeing the ceiling give
way, made for the door, dragging his wife with him,
but both were struck down on the floor. Newmarch
managed to crawl beneath a couch, and a joist fall-
ing at the same time across that piece of furniture,
he was thus preserved, and was soon got out, his
only injury being a contusion of the knee. The two
children, who had ran to the window, were also got
out very little the worse. Mrs. Newmarch, who
was more in the centre of the floor, was not got at
for some time, and she was found to be quite dead.
The house adjoining that occupied by Newmarch
was only crushed in to the first floor, and the occu-
pant, a man named Potts, with his wife and seven
children, escaped unhurt. The tenements in the
court were the most thoroughly destroyed, and the
loss of life was here the greatest. The first house
vas occupied by a labourer named Scott, who at the
time was away at work, his wife, and five children.
The mother was rescued little the worse, but three
of the children, who were not got out for some time,
were found quite dead. The other two children
had a miraculous escape. They were sitting at the
fireside on the basement story when the accident
occurred. The ceiling gave way at the side oppo-
site to the fireplace, the joists holding tolerably firm
near the chimney. By this means the falling rub-
bish was thrown to the other side of the room, and
the two children were thus preserved from injury.
After the lapse•of nearly an hour they were taken
out uninjured. The second house was tenanted by
a Mrs. Bielby, and although the place was literally
razed to the ground, the inmates escaped with-
out any serious injury, Mrs. Bielby receiving
only a scalp wound. In the next house, occu-
pied by a Mrs. Blakey, the inmates, four in num-
ber, escaped comparatively unhurt. In the adjoin-
ing house there was great destruction, nothing
remaining but the outside walls. The place was
occupied by a Mr. Brown and his wife. The latter at
the time was in a neighbour's house, and escaped, but
her husband, who was in bed in the upper story, was
carried with the rubbish into the basement. In an
hour he was got out still alive, but lie died on the
way to the infirmary. The following is a list of the
casualties :—Dead—Robert Brown, 40; Eliza New-
march, 46 ; John Scott, 12 ; Scott 10 ; Scott,
8. Wounded—Sarah Bielby, 34, scalp wound ;
Mary Aim Blakey, 45, contusion; Henry New-
march, 9, contusion ; Sarah Scott, 36, contusion ;
John Narry, 40, head cut ; J. R. Newmarch, 55,
contused knee. There are rumours that the building,
which was a very long and narrow one, had caused
the inhabitants great anxiety for some time past.
Messrs. Bro .vnridge, Gibson, and Usher, surgeons,
were on the spot, and rendered prompt assistance.
LEEDS, Monday.

The weather has been very stormy at Leeds and
the neighbourhood to-day. Showers of rain, with
boisterous and squally winds, prevailed from an
early hour in the morning till late in the evening.
Some property was damaged, and several persons
narrowly escaped injury from falling materials from
buildings. Just as this despatch was sent off an
accident had occurred by the fall of an arch at the
Leeds New Infirmary, a large building in the course
of construction. Several persons had been injured,
and three of them had been taken to the infirmary.
BARNSLEY, Monday.
During the whole of Sunday night and to-day a
terrific gale passed over this district, doing a great
deal of damage. It was accompanied with heavy
showers of rain and sleet, and exceeded in intensity
the storm of the preceding week. On the high
grounds in the neighbourhood of Penistone the
winds beat with fearful violence, and the train from
Manchester due at the former place about 9 40 a.m.
had a very narrow escape from destruction. It ap-
peared that the number of coal waggons lying in a
long shed near the station were driven on to the
main line by the force of the storm, and came in
contact with a passenger train as it was nearing the
station. The waggons were thrown down the em-
bankment and much injured, while the engine fell
on to its side at the top, and became stationary with-
out breaking the coupling chain, and thus saved the
entire train from going over. Just before the col-
lision the engine-driver and fireman threw them-
selves off the engine, and so saved themselves from
being thrown down the embankment. After the
delay of about an hour, the engine was got up, and
the train proceeded on its journey, the passengers
fortunately escaping without injury. On the same
morning the first train from Barnsley to Wakefield
found on getting about a mile from the town that a
great number of the telegraph posts had been blown
down on the line, causing an obstruction and con-
siderable delay. So fierce was the gale that the
lamps of the carriages were blown a considerable
distance into the fields adjoining. In other places
in the district a good deal of damage was done, and
up to four o'clock there was no abatement in the
violence of the storm.

The Military Revolt in Spain.

PROCLAMATION OF MARTIAL LAW IN MADRID.
MADRID, Jan. 4.
The following Royal order has been promulgated :

" To the Captain-General of New Castile.

" For some time past her Majesty's Government
has been aware that a conspiracy was being carried
on with the olject of disturbing public tranquillity
in the hope of shaking the fidelity of the army. The
Government will, nevertheless, act as if the country
were in a tranquil condition, confining itself strictly
to legality, and confiding in the good sense of the
Spanish people, who comprehend how much peace
is necessary to protect their interests both at home
and abroad.

" But the Bailen and Calatrava regiments having
revolted in the garrison of Aranjuez, and having
abandoned their officers, the moment has arrived to
adopt the extraordinary measures authorised by law
in order to prevent the enemies of public order,
encouraged by these events, from attempting to
take advantage of them to bring about greater and
more serious disturbances.

"Acting upon these considerations, the Council
of Ministers considers that it would be expedient for
your Excellency, using your privilege, to declare a
state of siege in the city of Madrid and its district.
'This measure will tranquillise honourable men ; it
will then be more easy to prevent the realisation of
any revolutionary projects whatever, to render the
effusion of blood less great, and, finally, to avert
the evils ordinarily consequent upon the employ of
force.

" The Government is resolved to use force when-
ever it shall be necessary for the maintenance of
respect for the laws. It hopes that your Excellency,
having at your disposal those extraordinary and
legal means, will act with all desirable energy, and
will not hesitate to take all the measures that you
may deem expedient to restrain the enemies of the
constitution of the State.

" I communicate the above for your Excellency's
information, requesting you to place yourself in
communication with the civil authorities of the pro-
vinces of this district, to whom the necessary orders
will be forwarded by the Ministry of the Interior.
" God preserve your Excellency many- years.
" O'DONNELL.
" Madrid, Jan. 3,186 G."

In Congress on the 3d inst., Senor Posada Her-
rera, Minister of the Interior, in reply to a question
from Senor Cidraque, gave the following account
of the events that had taken place, and of the mea-
sures adopted by the Government :
"The cavalry regiments which were at Aranjuez
and Ocana have risen, abandoning their colonels
and officers, under the orders only of a command-
ant and another. They took their way towards
points in the vicinity, and by the latest accounts
were to be found at Arganda. The Government is
not aware of the intentions and object of the insur-
gents; it knows only that they have disobeyed the
laws of military discipline, have abandoned their
officers, and have revolted against the constitution of
the State. It has consequently become its duty to
pursue and to chastise them, and it has determined
to fulfil that duty. I cannot at present communi-
cate to the Congress all the measures taken by the
Government, but I may give it the assurance that
we are convinced these arrangements will be com-
pletely effective ; that we confide in the fidelity of
the garrison of Madrid and of the troops at Alcala.
In a word, the Queen's Government has faith in the
fidelity of the bulk of the army, and consequently
reckons upon having at command the means of
making all return to their duty-. The Government
has been aware for some time past that a conspiracy
against public order was going on, and that persons
holding a certain rank in the army desired to cor-
rupt it, and to seduce the officers to be unfaithful to
their duty. But the Government had thought
hitherto that such events as have occurred at Aran-
juez and Ocana might be avoided by simply execut-
ing the laws that have ruled the States in periods of
tranquillity, and without doing anything else but
adopting measures of good government and good
military discipline. Seeing, however, that this will
not suffice it will not halt midway, and without ex-
ceeding the limits of the laws will apply them with
the utmost rigour, should circumstances require. The
first measure adopted has been to declare Madrid
and the whole district of its Captain-General, not
only in an exceptional state, but also in a state of siege.
As the faithful executors of the laws applicable to
these cases, we shall act with decision and energy
against the rebels. The Queen's Government re-
peats, through me, that it has perfect confidence in
the fidelity of the army, and that it will use the
powers given it by the laws for the prompt and
severe repression of the military revolt which has
broken out at Aranjuez and Ocana."
Senor Rivero Cidraque thanked the Minister for
his explanations, and considered it a subject of con-
gratulation that the Queen's Government was in a
position to protect all the great interests of the
country.
The Minister of the Interior said—" I beg Con-
gress to accelerate its definitive constitution as much
as possible. It may be, indeed, that the. Govern-
ment may, under present circumstances, have need
of its great authority in order to act with that moral
force the vote of Congress would impart for the re-
establishment of public order."
The house then unanimously adopted the proposal
of the President that there should be an evening
sitting at 9 o'clock.
Senor Figuerola—" The Minister of the Interior
has just informed us that Madrid was in a state of
siege. Now, whenever this has happened, the
Legislature being open, the state of siege has never
extended to these precincts. I beg the Minister of
the Interior to be good enough to afford some expla-
nation on this head, in order that we may know
whether or not there is complete liberty of debate."
The Minister of the Interior—" The hon. mem-
ber asks if Congress will enjoy all liberty of debate.
Ah, Senor Figuerola, Senor Figuerola ! Congress
would not be free in its deliberations before the
factious men who are opposing the institutions of
the State. But it cannot fail to be so within and
without before the faithful army which has so often
shed its blood in defence of these institutions.
The Government wishes that we should have full
liberty,for our and your sake, gentlemen, and for
that of all honourable men in the country. It
is foi. this reason that the Government has pro-
claimed the state of siege. So long as we occupy
these 'benches, Senor Figuerola, fear nothing ;
fear rather, fear everything, should unhappily those
factionists triumph who aim at liberty through crime
and expect to find it amid the orgies of disorder and
anarchy. There is nothing to fear for liberty so
long as there is a Government resolved to respect
the laws and cause them to be respected. And is it
Senor Figuerola who can have forgotten that during
the seven years of the civil war Madrid was in a
state of siege, and that under the protection of that
state of siege those memorable debates took place in
which we Liberals inaugurated our glory, and that
led to those great reforms which are the honour and
pride of the present generation ? What then hap-
pened will now again happen. I add, in order still
further to tranquillise Senor Figuerola, that the state
of siege could never affect the high powers of the
State. Congress being a high power of the State it
is clear that the Government which desires to con-
fine itself to law will not submit legislative acts to
a state of siege. That is understood."
The latest despatch received from Gen. Zabala is
dated the 3d inst., from. Ventarra del Puente de
Ladrillo, and is as follows : .
" To the Marshal Minister of War.

" Excellent Sir,—At the moment in which I
write, seven o'clock in the evening, the colonel of
the Bailen Regiment, accompanied by three com-
mandants of that corps, three captains, four adju-
tants, and nine subaltern officers, have just pre-
sented themselves before me. The colonel, with his

orderly officers, the officers
colonel of the Calatrava Muss:
three commandants, and the
officer. 3 of tin; la to corps
insurgents of the B idea r,
after the revolt. This took
eleven this moiling. At ten o'clo,
of the corps entrusted with the military chest re-
joined the colonel of the Bailen Regiment. The
Baileu insurgents are proceeding towards Yillarcjo,
where, it is said, they expect to find General Prim.
Nothing is known of the Calatrava insurgents, but
it is supposed that they are also marching upon
Villarejo. I have halted to give your excellency this
information. 1 continue to pursue the rebels in the
hope of coming up with them to-morrow."

MADizin, Jan. 7, 10. p.m,

The latest despatches received here state that dis-
couragement exists among the insurgents. Their
horses were in bad condition, and nowhere did they
meet with sympathy from the population. General
Prim is stated to have been to-day in Villarubia de
los Ojos de Guadiana. The Marquis Ducro had oc-
cupied Daimiel in order to force back Gen. Prim
towards Madridejos, at which place were stationed
the forces under General Zabola.

It is thought that General Prim will disband his
forces, and endeavour to gain the Portuguese
frontier.

Tranquillity prevails in the provinces. Arr mour
having been circulated that General Prim was
marching on Saragossa, a state of ridge was pro-
claimed in that province. Madrid is Quiet.

The Moniteur du Soir states, upon the authority
of a letter from St. Sebastian, dated sth inst., that
no insurrectionary movement had taken place in
Guipuscoa. The Captain-General of that province,
who had proceeded to Madrid to attend the sittings
of the Senate, had returned to his post. General
Pierrard, who was arrested at Valladolid, has been
sent to the fortress of St. Sebastian. His brother,
a colonel of carabineers, has also been arrested.
