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 th©
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts aro 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 he 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 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 ope-ation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEI 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-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a speciallte uertaining 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 unt iLt hey become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person cm be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, mutual, and comfortable than any yet produced.

Murder and Mutilation near Uxbridge.

'MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY 1N A GENTLEMAN'S HOUSE.

UXBRIDGE, Saturday.

This morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. F. Charsley,
coroner for Bucks, resumed the inquiry at the
Crooked Billet, Langley-marsh, into the circum-
stances . surrounding the death of the newly-born
male infant found barbarously murdered at Iver
Moor. Itwill be remembered that the corpse of the
child was discovered with its head severed from the
trunk, and lying in a stream of water in the grounds
of Mr. Ellis, a gentleman of property. That a cruel
murder has been committed there can be no doubt,
and had it not been for the ingenuity displayed by
the Bucks police the actual mother of the child
would never have been known. Susan Jarrott, a
young woman aged 22, has been accused by the po-
lice of the murder,
.and is now in custody of Super-
intendent Hodgkinson, of the Bucks constabulary.
Mr. W. Gardiner, solicitor, of Uxbridge, ap-
peared for the prisoner.
Ann Jarrott, prisoner's mother, was examined,
and stated the families in which her daughter had
lived as servant, and also described a bag she had
made out of an old shirt to hold dirty linen.
Mr. Raynor, surgeon, of Uxbridge, examined pri-
soner with Mr. Bruce, another surgeon, and they
were convinced she had had a child, but she
denied it. She was examined a second time, and
the suspicions of the medical men were confirmed ;
but she still denied that she had been confined,
though they said she must have been, and that re-
cently. Her bedclothes were produced, and their
appearance seemed to justify the accusation. The
medical men said that the accused must have been
confined within a fortnight, but they would not say
whether the child's head had been Sc! ered from its
body before or after it had had a separate existence.
It might have died from suffocation.
The fellow-servants of the accused were called,
and stated that she lay in bed from eleven to five
on the day on which she is supposed to have given
birth to a child. She got up the next day and went
about her work as usual. One of them was in the
room with her for some time, and she groaned and
appeared to be in great pain.
Mrs. Susan Maria Ellis, of Iver Moor, mistress
of the accused, said the prisoner had been in her
service about four or five months. When she first
came witness remarked her size. She seemed very
large round and awkwardly built. It was explained
that her sprained foot prevented her getting about,
and made her get large. On Sunday,the
she was told that Jarrott was in great 25th u
pain, andit
very ill.
the Monday, about half-past nine,
witness was in the kitchen, Jarrott came to
while
iyl e i
the boiler for water. She appeared slighter. On
Monday she mentioned it to the nurse, as she almost
fancied she had had a miscarriage. She explained
that she knew the flooding was from a different
cause. _ _

A verdict was returned that the deceased was the
child of Susan4arrott, and that it had been mur-
dered by some person or persons, but by whom there
was not sufficient evidence to show.
A very affecting scene occurred at the inn where
the inquest took place when the mother of the pri-
soner, who had been brought from Norfolk to
identify the bag in which the murdered child was
found, learned the nature of the charge upon which
her daughter was arrested.
The prisoner was removed in the custody of Mr.
Superintendent Hodgkinson, and now awaits her
re-examination by the magistrates.

TIIE GOVERNMENT REFORM BILL.—The Hanley
borough petition in favour of the bill was despatched on
Weanesday night, after having been signed by 5,500 per-
sons. The petition from the neighbouring town of Stoke
was signed by 1,500 of the inhabitants. A petition,
signed by between 5,000 and 6,000 persons, has been for-
warded from Preston to Lord Hartington for presentation
to the House of Commons. Lymington, 'in Hampshire,
has'also petitioned in favour of the bill, and a petition
with the same object was adopted at a public meeting at
Abingdon, in Berkshire. On Friday a public meeting was
held at Deptford, at which resolutions in favour of the
measure wcro adopted.-.

The following article we find in last Saturday's
number of The Cosmopolitan :—" The Vatican and
the Tuileries are once more on terms of cordial
good-will. The Holy Father has, at length, fully
and gracefully acknowledged the many claims of
the present ruler of France to be held, as Were his
predecessors on the throne, the eldest son of the
Church. Perhaps the recognition is rather tardy.
It is, however, a full and gracious recognition,
couched in terms that do no less honour to the Holy
Father's own kindly nature than to the illustrious
object of his gratitude. Our readers are aware that
on a recent occasion an address, signed by a large
number of French Catholics, was presented to his
Holiness by the Duke de Rohan. It was in reply
to this address that the Sovereign Pontiff spoke of
the services of France to the Papacy. I have not
forgotten,' says his Holiness, ' what the French
Catholics have done for the Holy See. I shall never
forget that in 1848 it was an Ambassador of France
who aided me in my departure for Gaeta, and that
it was a French General who in 1849 brought to me
the keys of Rome. The proofs of sympathy which
have been extended to me by the Emperor's Govern-
ment will never be erased from my memory.' It
would be strange, indeed, if he could forget the
powerful and unequivocal support given to his
throne by France since 1848. No individual ruler
nor people could afford to ignore such devotion, or
abstain from acknowledging it sooner or later in
becoming terms of gratitude. And we have always
felt sure that Pio Nono, judging from his well-
known noble and generous impulses, would one day
make the public, emphatic, and unstinted acknow-
ledgment that he has. At the present juncture
this declaration is more significant than it could
possibly be if made at an earlier day. The Papacy,
it is the general belief, is in imminent danger.
Internal foes, foreign emissaries for the most part
chiefs and tools of an anarchical directory, are
maturing their revolutionary plots within the
walls of the Eternal City itself, while a powerful
and rapacious State, that has waxed strong by
preying upon and swallowing up its neighbours,
and exists only to do the bidding of the revolution,
solemnly decrees the overthrow of the Temporal
Power ! United Italy ! the heterogeneous popula-
tion of Piedmontese, Sardinians, Neapolitans,
Sicilians, Florentines, &c., &c., fancying themselves
the lineal heirs of the Roman Empire, must have
Rome for their capital. At such a time it is just
and natural the Vatican should recall the last
eighteen years, and, generously proclaiming its
gratitude to chivalrous and Catholic France, look
with unabated trust to the same powerful and never-
failing ally for succour and defence in the apparently
impending crisis. His past services to the Papacy,
no less than his recent emphatic declarations touch-
ing the Temporal Power, entitle the Emperor to the
Holy Father's unreserved confidence ; and it is
because, if the storm of revolution does break over
the Eternal City, the Emperor of the French is the
only Catholic Sovereign likely to be both able and
willing to come to the rescue of , the Papal throne,
that we especially rejoice at the entente cordiale be-
tween the Vatican and the Tuileries. The present
Pope, all admit, is a Sovereign naturally of liberal
tendencies. He proved his active sympathy with
' progress' and ' liberalism,' to his cost, in 1848.
But neither the disasters of that period, nor the re-
verses which have since overtaken the Papacy, have
changed his liberal convictions, nor cooled his sym-
pathy with whatever is wise and expedient in the
liberalism of the day. Within the present week we
have his Holiness's own unequivocal declaration on
this question. In reply to an address from Belgium,
which, among other matters, deplored that the re-
volution should have interrupted reforms inaugurated
by the holy See in 1848,' the Pope declared that the
first years of his reign had been the happiest, and
he was persuaded that pehce would facilitate the
accomplishment of his ideas.' The peace necessary
to ' facilitate the accompliAimont of his ideas' will
be secured to him by France, under whose tegis he
can carry out his liberal reforms, without again
having his concessions turned against him to his
destruction, as in 1848. But the holy Father
assures the world that he looks for succour to a
higher Power than Kings and Emperors, and none
can doubt it who regards his sublime fortitude in
the face of his threatened overthrow and the extinc-
tion of his throne. The majestic calm of his bearing
in this crisis extorts the admiration of all who come
into his presence; and, should he fall, we may be
sure that even those who compassed his overthrow
will say that, many and great as were his virtues,
exalting even his exalted position, no act of his
long, distinguished, and troubled Pontificate ' be-
came him like the leaving it.' Rome, the Eternal
City, may dwindle from being the capital of an in-
choate kingdom of jarring and repellent provinces.
Whether or no this be its destiny, no one of the long
line of his predecessors on the Papal throne will be
held in more universal reverence than Pius the
Ninth."
