Directors to continue the payment of the interest at 10 per
cent. per annum, but enable them to declare periodical
bonuses on the capital called up.
As to the Catalan property, having regard to its impor-
tant position, the command it has of the seaboard, the faci-
lities it presents for construction of the new port, and its
general adaptability for the formation of streets, shops, and
private villas, a large and remunerative return may alsol?o
anticipated.
ESTIMATED PROFIT ON CATALAN PROPERTY.

On reference to Mr. Borde's Report, it will be seen that
when the various improvements which have been sug-
gested have been completed, and the Catalan property
fully developed, it is estimated to yield a gross profit of
upwards of cent. per cent., and this within a period of
three years, although the estimates have been based on the
more extended period of five years, and that when the Fort
St. Nicholas is removed, and the new port completed, this
profit will be trebled.
MINIMUM INTEREST, TEN PER CENT.

As the first payments of annuities and rent under the
arrangements entered into with regard to the Joliette pro-
perty do not commence until the Ist October, 1867, and
become payable only in the subsequent half-year, viz.,
the Ist April, 1868, the Directors have decided to pay in-
terest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for two years,
from March, 1866, on the capital called up, and for which
four interest warrants will be attached to the share certifi-
cates at the time of issue (which will be charged to land
purchases account). After that date the revenue from the
Joliette lands, the rentals from the other properties, and
profits on further sales, will be applicable for dividend or
bonuses.

fessions, to wear the Bloomer costume, are positions
taken up by the more strong-minded, and urged with
much force and ability by the more advanced female
parties. Those who claim an equal right in the
Government of the country, and who aspire to all
the business relations of men, may also urge that
they have an equal right toget drunk. We have not
seen any such arguments used, but if " man being
reasonable must get drunk," women, who assert an
equal amount of reason, may fairly assume this
measure of superiorityand distinction over the brute
creation, guided only by instinct. If the greater
exercise of the reasoning faculties leads to a greater
consumption of alcohol, we would certainly depre-
cate and deplore a change which would not advance
the position of the sex. If it be disgusting in a man
to get drunk, there is something horrible in the
drunkenness of women. It is asserted that the evil
is spreading in England as well as in America,
and if it be so, and the Round Table be right in the
statement it has made regarding the drunkenness of
women in the United States, it is the duty of society
to curb with a very tight rein so fearful a tendency.
But we are not aware that drunkenness is on tile
increase here, and the Round Table admits " that
the article called Drunkenness Among Women'
was too sweeping, too unqualified, and, considering
the gravity of its imputations, not sufficiently
guarded against wholesale conclusions and miscon-
structions." Nor do its admissions stop here ; for
it adds that it published the article before ascertain-
ing the facts, and then obtained the facts to justify
the article. It is well known how statistics can be
obtained to strengthen any conclusion. In prying
into the social relations of private families facts can
be assumed and conclusions jumped at which would
turn out to be wholly or partially untrue if a fuller
means of information were in the power of the in-
quirer. We have little doubt, however, that the
facts are sufficiently startling, and though the article
in question may have shocked society in New York,
we can readily believe that the good it did, was in
proportion to the shock it communicated.—Anglo-
American Times.

States.

The Hamburg and American Company's steamer
Germania, from New York, on the Bth inst.,
has arrived with 116 passengers for this port, Havre,
and Hamburg, 55 sacks of mails for England,
$163,500 for London, $395,131 for France, and
$2,000 for Hamburg.

Throughout the passage she experienced heavy
westerly gales. On the 15th the wind shifted to
west south-west, and the sea rose to a tremendous
height, sweeping the Germania's deck. The
wheel-house and both the wheels were carried away
and washed overboard, two of the quarter-boats
were smashed, and several of the crew seriously in-
jured, but no lives lost. The skylights were broken,
and much water poured into the ship's cabins.

NNW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AT KILBURN.-
Yesterday intlfhihg there Was a largo gathering of the
Roman Catholic clergy and laity at Kilburn, for the pur-
pose of witnessing a very interesting ceremony in con-
nection with the establishment of a new church for the ac-
commodation of that district. The new church is to be
erected by the "Fathers Oblates of St. Mary Immaculate"
who aro stated to have been labouring in and about Kil-
burn with great success, and made large numbers of con-
verts to their faith. Archbishop Manning performed the
ceremony of solemnly blessing the first stone, and an ap-
propriate service was performed. It was announced that
he will hold a confirmation on Sunday next, at St.
Joseph's, llighgate. . _

THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE COLLIERY ACCI-
DENT. —The bodies in the sumph had not been re-
covered up to last evening. The adjourned inquest was
to have been held yesterday, but inasmuch as the remain-
ing bodies were not found, the inquiry was further post-
poned. Mr. Wynne, the Government inspector of mines,
did not commence his official examination yesterday as
was expected, but will probably do so to-day. Lord Lich-
field has called a meeting of South Staffordshire in Wol-
verhampton to-day, and the chairman of the Ironmas-
ters' Association has issued circulars, especially request-
ing the presence and prompt aid of the ironmasters.
We learn by telegraph that the cause of the explosion
has been discovered. The blacksmith's lamp has been
found with the top off. The man's head was blown to
pieces. He went down to shoe horses, and strolled into
the workings.
COBDEN'S POLITICAL WRITINGS.—The pamph-
lets written at various periods by the late Mr. Cobden
have been reprinted, and will shortly appear in two vol-
umes. Some of these works created much sensation at
the time of their publication, but have been for years out
of print. The book will be published by Mr. Ridgway.
RE-APPEARANCE OF THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN
SUFFOLK.—We learn by telegraph that the cattle plague
has re-appeared in Suffolk, in the neighbourhood of Stow-
market, under circumstances such as to cause some
anxiety.

raised be devoted to the relief of the families of the sufferers
by the recent colliery explosions, and that in the event of
public benevolence furnishing funds more than sufficient to
meet the requirements of these objects, the balance will be
retained in the bands of Trustees as the nucleus of any
similar subscription that may be thought necessary at some
future time to raise for the purpose of meeting a like
calamity."
Contributions are earnestly requested for the Relief of
the Widows and Orphans left destitute by these dreadful

him to the armourer of the ship for some files. The
armourer was absent for a few minutes, and while
waiting for him the prisoner sat down on a chest.
Sergt.-Major Staite then came up, and asked him if
he was on guard. The prisoner said "No ; he was
waiting for some files." The sergeant-major then
ordered the prisoner on the after-deck. When he
got on the main-deck he struck the sergeant three
or four times. When the sergeant returned from
reporting the case the prisoner struck him again. In
defence he admitted having struck the sergeant, but
said the sergeant " spoke to him in an insulting and
irritating manner before a lot of dockyard men," and
he " struck the sergeant while in a passion." He
now expressed his regret. Prisoner was sentenced
to five years' penal servitude. The First-Lieut. of
Marines, C. Cervante, on duty on board the Lord
Clyde, stated that prisoner had borne an exemplary
character all the time he was on board the ship,
about two years, during which his name had not
been once entered in the defaulter's book.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Thos. James to the Bel-

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,

14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C•
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have boon 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, eltilaren, and orphans
ire, for want accominodation, 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 £1,300 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 homelessz and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
